2003 ) was a dominant and hugely influential force in the postwar american cinema , a director whose keen intuition and perspicacity made him almost impervious to the vicissitudes of the declining studio system and ideally suited to take advantage of the gradual shift towards independent production . prolific in spite of hollywood ' s dramatic ebbs , kazan created a group of vital , emotionally intense and frequently controversial films that helped define american film history and popular culture .\nbut you ' ve got to realise , this was an era when it was very hard for young people to get professional work in hollywood and the people who are now the modern hollywood film industry were making these kinds of film .\na young ukrainian couple plan their getaway to germany . it\u2019s 2003 , four years before slovakia integrates into the schengen area . the slovak -

looking aliens in the background of the original movie . when star wars went to games , those games didn\u2019t just enact film events ; they showed us what life would be like for a jedi trainee or a bounty hunter .\nwith this thin veneer of medical ' therapy ' , or whatever , these films were being shown in these little underground cinemas and so on around the place . they were all essentially softcore , and we decided to make a kind of send -

( most of it to defend the lawsuits . )\nthe first thing to remember about the villain ' s lair , is that there are absolutely no tower guards . as such , you will not get shot , no matter how much heat you have on you . you can also chip walls at any time during the day without getting shot . start by buying a guard outfit first . each cell ( excluding your own ) has a camera inside it . dressing up as a guard or henchman will allow you to search another spy ' s desk without the camera getting suspicious . if you can knock out a henchman and take his outfit beforehand however , the guard outfit will be inferior . get a fake shoe from a desk if you can . it works like a contraband pouch , except it does not get confiscated if you get knocked out .\nonce you have acquired both of these items one way or another , it ' s time to move onto the next item - the keycard . this is located inside the henchman ' s quarters to the northeast of the lair . the door however , has a blue key lock . this means you must be a henchman . the guard outfit is not sufficient for this , even though henchmen will be fooled by it . as such , you need to acquire a henchman outfit by knocking out a henchman . ideally , try to find the fourth henchman on the roster , as he has the staff key . you ' ll be needing a copy of that next . if you ' re having trouble figuring out the fourth henchman , wait until evening rollcall , when the henchmen turn on their flashlights . and then go and find a henchman who has a flashlight , but is not at rollcall . there ' s a 50 % chance he has the staff key - the other 50 % is the work key . either way , once you ' ve identified him , wait for him to cross over into your cell block , and then make your move . you can make a flamethrower or cup of molten chocolate to instantly knock him out . you can also find a bomb surprise or garotting wire watch or sharp tea tray in another spy ' s desk , and they will all serve as instant knockout items , too . once he ' s down , take his henchman uniform . he may also have some memoir tapes on him . take those as well , as they are a necessary component for the voice recording . finally , take his staff key and make a copy of it , but remember to give the staff key back before he wakes up again .\nonce you have the fake fingerprint , the voice recording , and the keycard , you can escape at any time you wish . if you choose to do it at night time however , you will need to create a bed dummy for your bed , as well as use your henchman or guard outfit to avoid being sent to solitary . head to the rocket and use the three items . the left console requires the keycard , the middle console requires the voice recording , and the right console requires the fake fingerprint . once you ' ve put the last item into the consoles , the game will end .\nthis page was last edited on 3 october 2017 , at 19 : 17 .\ncontent is available under cc by -

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

deaf explosives enthusiast , arnie dogen the injury - prone roofer and aspiring country singer , winston rothschild , iii , the prissy sewage magnate , mike hammer the itinerant felon , dalton humphrey the avaricious storekeeper , hap shaughnessy the pathological liar , buzz sherwood the hippie pilot , and ed frid the hamster - phobic animal control officer . . . not a lot ever tends to get done , except by way of confusing the issue further .\nthe lodge members are often famous canadian actors such as graham greene ( edgar ) , gordon pinsent ( hap ) , colin mochrie ( in a small role as hotdog expert frank kepke ) and paul gross ( as naive yuppie kevin black ) .\ni ' m a man , but i can change , if i have to , i guess .\nanother popular segment is\nadventures with bill\n, featuring the title character ' s attempts ( or more accurately , spectacular failures ) to get a grip on the whole outdoorsman gig , in slapstick pantomime shown in black and white and narrated by red .\nthe possum lodge word game\nis a typically loose attempt at a password - esque game show , with red and harold trying to get a lodge member to say a certain word for a prize .\nculture is not unknown here at the lodge , either \u2014 it may be gravely wounded , but it sure isn ' t being ignored . red is often seen in short transitional vignettes playing guitar and singing ( accompanied by harold on spoons or homemade drum ) , or reciting poetry . occasionally he simply addresses his fellow middle - aged schlubs directly and rather poignantly , concluding with\nremember , i ' m pulling for ya , we ' re all in this together .\nthe show always ends with the sounds of the lodge meeting beginning , in the basement . red stays upstairs for a moment to deliver a quasi - aesop and a message to his wife , bernice .\noften the opening of the lodge meeting will run behind the closing credits , with the studio audience as the lodge members .\nand to the rest of you , thanks for watching . on behalf of myself and harold and the whole gang up here at possum lodge , keep your stick on the ice .\nthe entire series can be watched for free on the show ' s official youtube channel .\naccidental aiming skills : in the black - and - white segment of\nguinness world records\n, red and dalton are attempting to destroy a lamp by putting rocks and balls in slingshots , and thwarting mike ' s attempts to just whack it with a board . after they build a supersized slingshot that accidentally launches mike into a tree ( instead of the bowling ball they intended to launch ) , mike gets angry , picks up the board , and throws it . . . straight into the lamp .\naffectionate parody : both poking fun at , and celebrating , the foibles of middle - aged men .\nthe red green book , authored by the show ' s creators and published in 1995 , contains lots of interesting trivia about the lodge . for instance , lodge membership is open to all genders , all races , religions and sexual orientations . to get in , you just need to have access to tools , trucks , building materials , explosives , medical supplies , legal services or cash .\nthe names of some of the segments were revealed in the book too . the segment where two lodge members give the viewers advice on how to get out of a jam with their wives is called buddy system , while the segment where red gives a monologue to his fellow middle - aged men while sitting at a desk winding a fishing lure is called north of 40 .\nmotor vehicle used , seen or mentioned in the series . including buzz ' s seaplanes .\none of the articles in red green talks cars : a love story told readers what their car indicated about them . anyone who drives an\nold car that barely runs\nis a lodge member . more specific examples include stinky peterson ' s trabant , moose thompson ' s gremlin , douglas hendrychuk ' s nash , harold ' s pinto and red ' s possum van .\nalmost famous name : harold tells red that he ' s been asked to be in a magazine ad for dodge . red excitedly agrees when he hears that not only will he be depicted in a hot tub surrounded by bikini - clad girls , but he gets the product for free ! he ' s a bit disappointed when it turns out he ' s just going to get his picture taken in front of a green screen and have it edited in later , but he ' s still excited to get a free dodge truck . at the end of the episode harold clarifies that the company is a swedish company named\ndoj\n. . . that makes adult diapers . . . and there are dozens of crates full of them outside .\namusing injuries : present all over the place , no one is safe from this . adventures with bill turns it up to eleven .\nand knowing is half the battle : parodied in ranger gord ' s educational cartoons , in which a muscular version of gord gives humorously inaccurate advice regarding forest life ( e . g . , that stones are really eggs ) . often , the funny animal representations of red and harold would actually give correct information in response , but since these are gord ' s cartoons , his explanations inevitably turn out to be true anyway .\n1991 , 1993 seasons : a paint - by - numbers of the lodge quickly getting colored in .\n1994 - 1997 seasons : a flythrough of a cityscape , followed by a crash into the\nnew red green show\nlogo and a 180 - degree turn to reveal the lodge .\nanti role model : in more than one\nhandyman corner\n, red suggests one way to get the supplies you need is to steal them .\naren ' t you going to ravish me ? : non - sexual version . when the women of possum lake get together to chat , several lodge members spy on them with a microphone to find out what their wives are saying about them , expecting lots of complaints . they ' re very insulted when none of the women even mention their husbands at all .\nin one episode , red advises teenagers against doing crime , saying ,\njust say no to assault , break - and - enter , arson , murder , theft , drug trafficking , and . . . oh , yeah , real estate sales .\nred : yeah . uh , so i ' m\u0096 i ' m gonna add a special event to it . harold is gonna do a cannonball off the top of rock reef point , singing the national anthem , butt - naked , with his hair on fire . that okay with you , harold ?\nharold : oh , yeah . yeah , yeah , whatever . . . hey , wait a minute , i don ' t know the national anthem !\naside glance : red frequently looks at the camera in\nadventures with bill\n.\nin one episode , red , dalton , and mike hurt themselves . mike goes to a masseuse and feels better , and recommends red and dalton go as well , which they first refuse but change their minds once they find out she ' s attractive . it turns out she ' s a male undercover cop , and red and dalton are disgusted , but mike doesn ' t care and plans to keep going , since he was the only one going there specifically for treatment and not just to get touched by a pretty girl ( although you would think he ' d at least be concerned about the cop part ) .\naudience participation : in later seasons , the studio audience would provide the\nthree little words men find so hard to say\nin\nthe experts\nsketches .\nnew member night\nwould also have volunteers from the studio audience play the prospective new lodge member .\nauthor appeal : steve smith is apparently something of a car buff in real life . throughout the show there are hundreds of shout outs and take thats to various cars ( the chrysler k - car is a favorite target ) and at least half of all the handyman corner projects involved something to do with cars . a lot of gags also involve beer , something that smith even lampshades in his introduction to one of the episodes on the dvd collections .\nbait and switch : the prizes for the possum lodge word game are presented in this manner with whoever is hosting ( usually harold ) exciting the contestant with something that sounds desirable but only to reveal that the prize is ridiculously cheap . . . and occasionally used .\nbonnie kisses harold , hard , in the finale when the two are officially wed . also counts as a crowning moment of funny , since she does it before red can even tell harold ,\nyou may now kiss the bride .\n: possum lodge is full of these , by red ' s own admission . of course , when big eater is the norm , the guy\nred : moose would eat a garden shed if you put enough hot sauce on it .\n: red discovers that ranger gord has some pictures of bigfoot that are actually clear and in focus , proving bigfoot really exists . he excitedly tells gord that the two of them should sell the pictures to a major tv network and get rich . however , gord insists that since he is the professional forest ranger , he should do all the talking to maintain credibility . red promptly gives the pictures back , knowing that nothing could give them\nin one of gord ' s educational cartoons , he lectures on how to protect oneself against a sasquatch . because of its eponymous big feet , gord explains , the sasquatch usually attacks by kickboxing its opponent , so one should keep their arms in front of their face at all times .\nbasically everything that comes out of hap ' s mouth . it ' s not that hap is a bad liar in as much as his stories are so over the top that there ' s no way he could ' ve done all of it .\nsame for doc render in the second season . there ' s speculation from the other members whether or not doc is an actual doctor ; well - deserved speculation given that doc treats a bullet wound with several boxes of band - aids .\nblazing inferno hellfire sauce : red mixes up a batch for a lodge barbecue . it consisted mostly of ketchup and mustard , with some various hot peppers thrown in and some other ingredients , including the\nsecret ingredient\n, which was some blue goop in an unlabelled container ( harold gets it analyzed , it ' s jet fuel ) . to demonstrate how hot it is , dalton tastes a little bit on a toothpick and is clearly in serious pain . then harold tastes a big spoonful .\nblind without em : happens to bill once when he does boxing with harold . red removes bill ' s glasses for him , thinking that one shouldn ' t fight a guy with glasses , and sets them on top of a pail in a corner of the ring . he does not realize that bill does have a vision problem . he squints at the glasses on the pail , thinking it ' s harold and delivers an uppercut to it , only for it to fall down and hit him on the head , knocking him out and leading harold to be the winner by default .\n: harold says red ' s\nkeep your stick on the ice\nspeech in\nthe catfish project\nwhen red is in a traumatized daze .\nharold also says\nkeep your stick on the ice\n( and imitating red ' s gravelly voice in the process ) in the final episode .\nharold : oh , good , okay , yeah . ' cause usually you have a plan and you ' re an idiot , but this time . . .\nharold :\ndear experts , how are you ?\nranger gord : well actually , i ' m a little upset today , because i lost my favorite pair of sunglasses . ( gord is wearing said sunglasses on top of his head ) but y ' know , it ' s not the end of the world . no way . that doesn ' t happen until the year 2015 , in november , on a thursday , and it ' s after lunch . okay ? so you can ' t get too upset when you lose something . the thing is , you have to remember to replace the thing that you lost with something new , and the real tricky part is , you have to remember to replace the same thing with the same thing . in other words , you can ' t replace a pair of sunglasses by buying a waffle iron . okay ? there it is .

let us just a few rajini movies\nthe first - look posters , trailer and the songs have generated a positive buzz surrounding the project . the film is likely to have big openings upon its release in december .\neffect of unsm on the resistance of the passive film of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution .\nthat said , i have to say that rajini does seem to defy his age for most parts of the film . i thought they did a good job of hiding his age .\nmadan , i saw the equalizer with denzel washington yesterday and it got me thinking , with a few tweaks for indian audiences , this is the type of film rajini should be making .\nactress sonakshi sinha , who is making her tamil debut opposite superstar rajinikanth in upcoming tamil actioner ' lingaa ' , says she thoroughly enjoyed working in the film and also learnt from the experience .\nveteran actress sharada has bagged the ntr national award instituted by the state government for the year 2010 . the government on monday also announced the recipients of some other important awards for film personalities .\nthey are planning to release the film in more than 200 screens in the us , which will be record for a tamil film , according to indiaglitz . superstar ' s last release\nkochadaiiyaan\nhad only half the screen - count of\nlingaa\nin the country . it is confirmed to hit theatres on 12 december as a birthday treat for the superstar ' s fans .\nthe motorbike - balloon action sequence was a joke . not something a fan like me would pay to watch the superstar do . watching this film felt more like watching a telugu movie starring balakrishna .\neffect of aging time on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c .\nneena : see , i\u2019m by no means extolling shankar\u2019s virtue as a great film maker per se , merely doing an \u201capple to apple\u201d comparison between him as a mass masala maker against another like ksr .\ndirected by ks ravikumar ,\nlingaa\nis touted as a mass action entertainer with rajinikanth appearing in dual roles . fans are looking forward to see their thalaivar in a live - action film after nearly four years , when his blockbuster\nendhiran\nhit the screens . superstar ' s last release\nkochadaiiyaan\nwas a 3d film and the actor was seen in an animated version using motion - capturing techniques .\nmega star chiranjeevi born konidela siva sankara vara prasad is an indian actor , producer and politician . he was the minister of state with independent charge for the ministry of tourism , government of india . prior to politics , chiranjeevi has attended the madras film institute , and had worked primarily in telugu cinema , in addition to tamil , kannada and hindi films . he made his acting debut in 1978 , with the film punadhirallu .\n] reported that the nano - crystalline surface could increase the density of diffusion paths available for alloying elements to migrate and rapidly form a protective passive film . according to the results by takakuwa , et al . [\n\uf041 flat no . 102 , s . s , prime view apartments plot no . b - 40 road , . , no . 7 , film nagar , jubilee hills , , hyderabad , telangana , india , 500045\ni agree with this , and lingaa isn\u2019t up to mark . the question is , who is the director for the job ? i think the only tamil director really capable of doing a satisfying rajnikanth film is shankar .\nsuperstar rajinikanth ' s\nlingaa\nis set for record release in the usa . the film ' s us distribution rights have reportedly been acquired by classics entertainments , one of the leading distributing companies in the country .\nin addition , the film is being sold overseas for approx 30 crore just for the tamil version . in addition to this all , there are music rights , which are with eros ,\nthe source stated .\nsince austenitic stainless steels have good properties of strength and toughness , and high corrosion resistance , they have been widely used in the field of power plants , chemical plants , and other industries [ 1 ] . the high corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel is due to the chemical stability of the passive film formed on the surface , and the properties of the film depends upon the alloying elements of the steels . basically , stainless steel can be defined as having a chromium content of over 12 % ; thus the passive film is mainly composed of cr 2 o 3 , and the corrosion resistance can be improved by the addition of ni , mo , w , n , etc .\nit will be the first ever film in rajinikanth\u2019s career to be releasing on his birthday , december 12 . therefore , the annual chaos and celebration are expected to hit a new high this year in theatres and multiplexes across the state . there will be the customary paal abhishekam , where rajinikanth\u2019s king - size cut - outs will be showered with milk and honey before the show is on , with fireworks in different parts of the city . at chennai\u2019s kasi theatre , fans will cut a cake for the superstar , to mark his 65th birthday and watch a special show of the film at 1am . the film will release in more than 2 , 500 screens across the country and close to 10 , 000 screens worldwide .\nlingaa somehow managed to feel rushed and interminable simultaneously . the screenplay felt slapped together , but it also dragged on and on . i can almost forgive misogyny , plot holes , etc . if the film was at least entertaining . but the film committed what , to me , is the worst sin a film like this can commit , which was that it was boring . the flashback dragged on and on and on . i was sick of hearing about that damn dam , and how great lingeswara was , the scene of him calling on everyone to forget caste , him and the british guy verbally sparring , yadda , yadda , yadda . the train fight scene was the one sign of life in the entire movie . i thought that was pretty well done .\n@ brangan : good \ud83d\ude42 since i don\u2019t really know much about cinematographic or the technical aspects of film making , i didn\u2019t comment on them . but , now , i can argue that it is not only shankar\u2019s plot and writing that are crass but also his craft\u2026\never before it hits the screens ,\nlingaa\nhas made huge pre - release business . the film ' s rights have reportedly been bagged by eros international for a whopping amount . according to reports , it could fetch \u20b9200 crore for eros prior to release .\nb compares the relationship between the polarization and pitting potential . the figures show that increasing the polarization resistance of stainless steels increases the pitting potential . that is , it should be noted that the properties of a passive film are important for enhancing the resistance to pitting corrosion .\nshows the results for the ac impedance measurement on 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . the passive film was formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min and the ac impedance was measured .\nshows the effect of aging time on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . through the mott - schottky plot , we can find the bipolarity [\ni am glad there are people who think not so highly of padayappa . the movie hasn\u2019t aged well at all and that\u2019s why really shankar is the man\u2019s man for you . rajini taking on rajini is really the ultimate concept and endhiran for me is the best rajini film since baasha .\nbaddy , agree with a lot of what you say . the film was a lot longer than necessary . also , the lack of good villains was spot on . the whole brit crew was laughable . where is tom alter when you need him ? \ud83d\ude42 i agree , the lack of an equal opposite brings the movie down a lot . besides , the songs didn\u2019t hit home either and that becomes problematic in a movie that has such huge expectations . my biggest point is that this what you get when you have a project manager helming the film\u2026 . never been a fan of that guy .\n] . in this mott - schottky plot , a positive slope means n - type semiconductive properties , while a negative slope implies p - type semiconductive properties . therefore , the passive film formed on 316l stainless steel in sodium chloride solution reveals p - n type semiconductive properties , i . e . , the bipolar film . increasing the aging time still did not change the n - type properties , but did gradually reduce the slope of the p - type properties . in other words , the aging treatment to stainless steel deteriorated the bipolar properties , especially the p - type property and therefore reduced the pitting corrosion resistance .\nlingaa is , as many industry insiders say , rajinikanth\u2019s response to naysayers after his previous film kochadaiiyaan failed at the box - office . it is also his quickest project since he earned the title of superstar . within a month of kochadaiiyaan \u2019s release , after a leading tamil daily named vijay as the next superstar , the cast and crew of lingaa are said to have geared up , all guns blazing , to reiterate who the real superstar is and worked extra hard to finish the film in less than six months , making it his second release of the year . the shooting was completed in less than 100 days , with reportedly few or no breaks .\nthe seasonal favourite haricharan \u2019s singing is exceptionally soulful in unmai orunaal vellum , but the song as such works only intermittently . barring a few moments of brilliance in the arrangement , particularly around the interludes , the song is a rather tedious listen . the other melody fares better in comparison ; en mannava has a more appealing tune that is delivered neatly by aditi paul and srinivas . the arrangement once again soars during the interludes , especially for the way a r rahman overlays the chorus and asad khan \u2019s sitar phrases . the anthemic sound and a r rahman \u2019s voice would invariably mean that indiane vaa evokes memories of older songs of the same kind . it is an engaging listen nevertheless ; i found the use of percussion particularly interesting .\nat one point i couldn\u2019t help laughing at how awful the british actors were . just dreadful . the sets were awful , the acting was awful , the dialogue was awful , the hair and costumes were awful . alagappan nailed it when he said this felt like a balakrishna film . but without the fun of some of balakrishna\u2019s more insane fight scenes .\nanuja / rakesh \u2013 good you pointed out arr\u2019s music specifically in your posts . in all the ruckus about the movie review itself , arr seems to be getting less of the brickbats than he rightly deserves . even an average rating for this album is too much in my opinion , but background score in the film itself was mediocre too , no great shakes .\nso , all i see in shankar films again is all the terribly tiring tropes of tamil cinema , global masala - dom and some more appalling stuff wrapped in a supposedly fresh or modern package . the movies are badly written , unbelievably long and the dialogues are unexceptional . so , i can\u2019t really place shankar a notch above ksr or other mass film makers .\nhowever , pranam khareedu was released earlier at the box office . chiru known for his break dancing skills , chiranjeevi acted sofar in 149 films and his 150th film is on its way . in 2006 , chiranjeevi was honoured with the padma bhushan , india\u2019s third highest civilian award , for his contributions to indian cinema , and was presented with an honorary doctorate from andhra university .\nwrt shankar , he uses high - concept ( for indian films ) plot ideas with above - average action scenes and concepts ( the ending of enthiran was truly amazing ) , and , of course , he and arr are one of the best current director - composer teams . otherwise his films have the same undercooked female characters and regressive values as any other tamil film .\neffect of unsm on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min . in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution : ( a ) non - aged specimen ; ( b ) 1 h - aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen , and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\nunsm - treatment of the slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel increased the pitting potential , decreased the passive current density , and increased the resistance of the passive film . however , in the case of the heavily sensitized 316l stainless steel , the unsm - treatment decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film . this behavior is due to the dual effects by unsm - treatment . that is , unsm - treatment reduced the carbon segregation regardless of whether the stainless steel 316l was slightly or heavily sensitized . however , since this treatment created mechanical flaws in the outer surface , in the case of the heavily sensitized stainless steel , the unsm - treatment may eliminate chromium carbide , and this flaw can be a potential pitting initiation site , and therefore decrease the pitting corrosion resistance .\nthe mott - schottky plot was prepared to determine the semiconductive properties of the passive film . the specimen preparation was the same as that for the ac impedance measurement and the dc amplitude was 10 mv ( peak - to - peak ) at 1580 hz of the ac frequency [ 37 ] . the capacitance was measured at the scan rate of 50 mv / s from + 0 . 5 v ( sce ) to \u22121 v ( sce ) .\non ksr \u2014 why is he a celebrated film maker still ? i don\u2019t get that . he seems so out of tune ( thanks lingu ! ) with times . even back in his heydays apart from his kamal associations which i am sure has a lot of the latter\u2019s influence , i don\u2019t recall anything worth mentioning except for \u2013 muthu which was fun . padayappa was so - so ! padayappa infact became tolerable for me after repeat tv viewings .\nshows the effect of unsm on the nyquist plot of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . except for the 48 h - aged specimen , the nyquist plots of non - or slightly - aged specimens were improved . a randles model was used to calculate the resistances of the passive film of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl .\nshows the effect of unsm on the mott - schottky plot of the passive film formed at 0 v ( sce ) for 30 min in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution . regardless of the unsm treatment , all of the specimens revealed p - n type semiconductive properties . the n - type properties ( positive slope ) of the non - or slightly sensitized specimens were relatively strong , but the n - type properties of the heavily sensitized specimen were relatively weak .\noh , there was one other scene that ushered in much excitement . it\u2019s when we learn it\u2019s the birthday of the rajinikanth character in the flashback . a cake is wheeled out . people sing the birthday song . fans watching lingaa on its day of release , december 12 ( rajinikanth\u2019s birthday ) , will enjoy being in the superstar\u2019s vicinity as he cuts his birthday cake . but that\u2019s just a temporary high . next time , how about a film that leaves us with happy memories on other days as well ?\nin the case of slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel , the aging time drastically decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and lowered the resistance of the passive film , even though chromium carbide and the chromium depletion zone were not formed by aging . this behavior is due to the micro - galvanic corrosion between the matrix and the carbon segregated area , and shows the importance of carbon segregation in grain boundaries to the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel , in addition to the formation of the chromium depletion zone .\nstainless steels have good corrosion resistance in many environments but welding or aging can decrease their resistance . this work focused on the effect of aging time and ultrasonic nano - crystal surface modification on the passivation behavior of 316l stainless steel . in the case of slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel , increasing the aging time drastically decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film , even though aging did not form chromium carbide and a chromium depletion zone . this behavior is due to the micro - galvanic corrosion between the matrix and carbon segregated area , and this shows the importance of carbon segregation in grain boundaries to the pitting corrosion resistance of stainless steel , in addition to the formation of the chromium depletion zone . unsm ( ultrasonic nano crystal surface modification ) - treatment to the slightly sensitized 316l stainless steel increased the pitting potential , decreased the passive current density , and increased the resistance of the passive film . however , in the case of heavily sensitized 316l stainless steel , unsm - treatment decreased the pitting potential , increased the passive current density , and decreased the resistance of the passive film . this behavior is due to the dual effects of the unsm - treatment . that is , the unsm - treatment reduced the carbon segregation , regardless of whether the stainless steel 316l was slightly or heavily sensitized . however , since this treatment made mechanical flaws in the outer surface in the case of the heavily sensitized stainless steel , unsm - treatment may eliminate chromium carbide , and this flaw can be a pitting initiation site , and therefore decrease the pitting corrosion resistance .\na point i\u2019d like to re - iterate , is that my comparison is with shankar and other tamil film makers . when you open it up to include hollywood films , then quite naturally , the flaws in indian movies become magnified severalfold . of course multiple / split personalities have been handled far more frequently and better in movies like psycho & primal fear in the psychological thriller genre , given a comedic twist in jim carrey\u2019s me , myself and irene and even addressed in gollum\u2019s conversations with himself in the rings trilogy , to name just a few examples .\n@ kothavaranga : i am one such binge watcher . even i find lingaa difficult to defend . i can accept anything , except for this \u2018let - us - make - any - nonsense - the - people - will - be - ok\u2019 attitude . the film was clearly half done in many parts , and any competent director would\u2019ve cut out some of the flashback portions . i liked parts of it ( unlike many people here ) , but the flashback portions were really really boring . and after kaaviyathalaivan and i , this was the law - of - averages album for rahman , i guess .\nmy most favorite part of the film was . . the character of the flashback - villain\u2019s wife was the . . don\u2019t know what to say . we know characters are written for a purpose after all but we still look for some kind of an arc or a \u2018travel\u2019 as kollywood likes to call it or some substance \u2013 but from the minute she got introduced and in every shot you could see it\u2019s written all over the script in caps she will reveal the truth . you wait to see how bad it could get and when that scene unfolded it was so bad that it was * so * good !\ncrime and punishment cast list , listed alphabetically with photos when available . this list of crime and punishment actors includes any crime and punishment actresses and all other actors from the film . you can view additional information about each crime and punishment actor on this list , such as when and where they were born . to find out more about a particular actor or actress , click on their name and you ' ll be taken to page with even more details about their acting career . the cast members of crime and punishment have been in many other movies , so use this list as a starting point to find actors or actresses that you may not be familiar with .\nwith indian , by the time , the father - son face - off comes about , i had had enough and just wanted the film to be over ! but , right from first , i thought it was clearly set up what senapathy\u2019s standing was and he wasn\u2019t one to compromise on his principles because of paternal love ( which was proved with his daughter\u2019s case as well ) . there never was going to be a moral question for him , never really any occasion for internal conflict or turmoil . so , it wasn\u2019t really intriguing to me . there was potential for some subversion with the manisha koirala character ( \u201cvaayilla praanikku ethaavathu onnunnale thaanga maatta nee\u201d ) . well , to expect complexity in the female lead is just too much , i guess !\nvip was definitely one of my favorite \u2018star\u2019 movies this year as well . but , think about it this way . dhanush is a \u2018star\u2019 no question , but he\u2019s no \u2018superstar\u2019 yet . for a dhanush film to work , you kind of need all the things you mentioned , and it all came together in vip . but do you remember the debacle that was naiyaandi\u2026 ? even take suriya for instance . he is a big \u2018star\u2019 as well , but what was the faith of anjaan\u2026 ? the likes of dhanush and suriya et . al , aren\u2019t in the same league of \u2018super\u2019 stardom as those i mentioned earlier , hence a good script , story , technicians , music , are all crucial elements for their respective movies to succeed . they can\u2019t just show up on screen and expect to ring in the cash registers unlike our \u2018superstars\u2019 \u2013 .\nwith all this , it\u2019s a small miracle that the person summoned to make a \u201crajini movie\u201d doesn\u2019t turn chalk - white with fear and flee to a foreign country under an assumed name . but that cannot excuse the films . lingaa is talky and overlong ( nearly three hours ) , plagued with pacing issues , and \u2013 worse \u2013 it tells a story that lays no claims to our emotions . rajinikanth plays two roles . in the present - day portions , he\u2019s a thief , and a lot of time is wasted on this character\u2019s doings ( one of them a heist involving a tennis ball , balloons , and sticker pottu ) till we get to a british -

curves of the time - temperature - sensitization ( tts ) diagram of aisi 316 stainless steel are displaced towards lesser time by increasing the cold work , and sensitization of the aisi 316 stainless steel accelerated the precipitation of the cr 23 c 6 carbide [ 35 ] . remarkable improvements in the degree of sensitization ( dos ) and the intergranular corrosion ( igc ) of type 304 ( uns s 30400 ) and type 316l ( uns s 31603 ) stainless steels were achieved through extreme grain boundary randomization [ 36 ] . recently , our group reported that even though chromium carbide was not precipitated , aging time drastically increased the intergranular corrosion rate of 316l stainless steel , and we confirmed that the increased intergranular corrosion rate of slightly sensitized ( not carbide formed ) 316l stainless steel was due to the carbon segregation along the grain boundaries . unsm treatment improved the intergranular corrosion resistance of aged stainless steels , and the improvement was due to the reduction of carbon segregation and the grain refinement of the outer surface , including the introduction of compressive residual stress [ 5 ] .\nas discussed above , the unsm treatment improves the mechanical properties and induces the nano - crystallization of the outer surface , but there has been little research on the effects of unsm on the anodic polarization behavior of stainless steel . this work , therefore , focused on the effect of unsm treatment on the anodic polarization behavior of aged 316l stainless steel and proposed its mechanism .\nshows the chemical composition of the aisi 316l austenitic stainless steel used in this work . aging treatments were performed at 650 \u00b0c for 1 , 5 , and 48 h in n\nprotective atmosphere , and then the steel was water quenched . unsm treatment was applied to the surface using unsm equipment ( design mecha - lm20 unsm system , asan , korea ) .\nconditions of unsm ( ultrasonic nano crystal surface modification ) treatment on 316l stainless steel .\nshows the shape and dimensions of the specimen for the electrochemical test ( anodic polarization , ac - impedance , and mott - schottky tests ) .\nspecimens were cut to a size of 1 . 5 \u00d7 1 . 5 mm , and after electrical connection , they were epoxy - mounted , and the surface was ground using # 600 sic paper and coated with epoxy resin , except for an area of 1 cm 2 . the anodic polarization test was performed in 3 . 5 % nacl solution using a potentiostat ( gamry dc 105 , warminster , va , usa ) and the reference electrode was a saturated calomel electrode ( sce ) , and the counter electrode was high - density graphite rods . the test solution was de - aerated using nitrogen gas at the rate of 100 ml / min for 30 min and the scanning rate was 0 . 33 mv / s . the pitting potential that is the least positive potential at which pits can form was determined from the anodic polarization curve .\nin order to measure the ac impedance , the specimens were ground using # 2000 sic paper , and then polished using a diamond paste ( 3 \u03bcm ) . the test solution was the same as that of the polarization test . the ac impedance measurement was performed using an electrochemical analyzer ( gamry eis 300 , warminster , va , usa ) . before measuring , passivation was treated at + 0 mv ( sce ) for 30 min . ac impedance was measured at a passivation potential from 10 khz to 0 . 01 hz and the ac voltage amplitude was 10 mv .\nthe specimen was cut to a size of 20 \u00d7 20 \u00d7 5 mm and then ground with # 2000 sic paper and polished with a 3 \u00b5m diamond paste . finally , the specimen was cleaned with ethyl alcohol , using an ultrasonic cleaner . the microstructure was observed by optical microscopy ( axiotech 100hd , zeiss , oberkochen , germany ) and sem - eds ( vega ii lmu , tescan , brno , czech republic ) , after etching by aqua regia ( 70 ml hno 3 + 30 ml hcl ) . also , an electron probe micro analyzer ( epma - 1600 15 kv , shimadzu , kyoto , japan ) was used to identify the elemental distribution of the passivated surface .\nshows the effect of aging time at 650 \u00b0c on the polarization behavior of the 316l stainless steel in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of the annealed specimen ( 316l - 0 h ) , the corrosion potential and pitting potential were high , but the aging treatment degraded the anodic polarization behavior of the 316l stainless steel . increasing the aging time lowered the pitting potential and also increased the passive current density at 0 v ( sce ) . generally , the aging treatment formed chromium carbides in the grain boundary and grain , and then generated a chromium - depleted zone near the carbide . therefore , pitting corrosion was easily initiated at this chromium - depleted zone , and the pitting resistance was reduced . however , it is interesting to note that the pitting potential of even the 1 or 5 h - aged specimen decreased drastically , and their passive current densities greatly increased . from a thermodynamical aspect [\n] , short aging times such as 1 or 5 h could not form chromium carbides , but did degrade their passivation behavior . a similar pattern of corrosion by aging time was already observed in the intergranular corrosion behavior [\neffect of aging time at 650 \u00b0c on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel ( de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl ) : ( a ) anodic polarization curves ; ( b ) pitting potential with aging time ; and ( c ) passive current density with aging time .\na shows that increasing the aging time depressed the nyquist plots and their impedance circles . the polarization resistance was calculated using a randles model .\nac impedance measurement on 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) nyquist plot ; and ( b ) r p vs . pitting potential .\nshows the effect of unsm on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel aged at 650 \u00b0c in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of the non - aged specimen , unsm - treatment ( 316l - 0hu ) improved the anodic polarization behavior . in contrast , the unsm - treatment increased the anodic polarization behavior of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , but the treatment degraded the behavior of the 48 h - aged specimen .\nreveals the effect of unsm on the passive current density and pitting potential obtained in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c . in summary , the unsm - treatment on the slightly sensitized specimen reduced the passive current density and increased the pitting potential , while the treatment on the heavily sensitized specimen increased the passive current density and lowered the pitting potential . it is interesting that the unsm - treatment enhanced the intergranular corrosion in even the heavily sensitized specimen , in addition to the slightly sensitized specimen [\neffect of unsm on the polarization behavior of 316l stainless steel aged at 650 \u00b0c in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution ; ( a ) non - aged specimen ; ( b ) 1 h - aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen ; and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\neffect of unsm on ( a ) passive current density ; and ( b ) pitting potential obtained in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl solution at 30 \u00b0c .\neffect of unsm on the nyquist plot of 316l stainless steel at 0 v ( sce ) in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl solution : ( a ) non - aged specimen ; ( b ) 1 h - aged specimen ; ( c ) 5 h - aged specimen ; and ( d ) 48 h - aged specimen .\npitting corrosion initiates by nonmetallic inclusions or second - phase intermetallics in the stainless steel surface microstructure [ 44 ] . stainless steel can be sensitized by aging treatment , and thus chromium carbides and a chromium - depleted zone can be formed near the grain boundaries [ 45 ] ; and in addition , it was recently reported that carbon segregated areas near grain boundaries of even slightly sensitized stainless steel were formed , and this carbon segregation facilitated the intergranular corrosion [ 4 ] .\nshows that the pitting potential was greatly reduced in even the slightly sensitized specimen .\nshows the results of observation of the surface after the anodic polarization test in order to elucidate this corrosion behavior .\nc shows that in the 48 h - aged specimen , the corroded area finally looks like the appearance corroded along grain boundaries .\nsem image after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\nshows the epma analysis that was therefore performed in order to compare the corroded appearance to elemental correlation .\nshows the elemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of the aged 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . in the case of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , carbon was relatively more segregated at the corroded area , and carbon segregation can be definitely confirmed along the grain boundaries of the chromium carbide formed specimen ( 48 h - aged ) . the passivation behavior of the slightly sensitized stainless steel can be affected by carbon segregation , and the segregated carbon induced micro - galvanic corrosion , which initiated pitting and degraded passivation [\n] . after the exposure beyond the critical duration for carbide formation , chromium depletion and carbide formed areas formed , and since these areas are sensitive to pitting initiation , they degraded the passivation .\nelemental distribution analyzed by epma ( electron probe micro analyzer ) on the surface of aged 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\non the other hand , the unsm - treatment improved the passivation of 1 h and 5 h - aged specimens , but decreased the pitting resistance of the 48 h - aged specimen . wang , et al . [\n] , residual stress in the surface layer with different surface finishes affects the critical current density and the current density for passivation , the factors of which are closely related to the formation and retention of the passivation layer . many researchers [\n] reported that the high mechanical energy imparted by various methods to the steel surface may also induce the diffusion of the alloying elements and therefore can affect the intergranular corrosion resistance of the stainless steels . we already proposed that the unsm treatment improved the intergranular corrosion resistance of the aged stainless steels , and the improvement was due to the reduction of carbon segregation and the grain refinement of the outer surface , including the introduction of compressive residual stress [\nshows the elemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of unsm treated 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . it can be confirmed that the unsm - treatment reduced carbon segregation regardless of the aging time . as described above , carbon segregation facilitates micro - galvanic corrosion , and therefore the reduction of carbon segregation by the unsm - treatment should improve the pitting corrosion resistance . in the case of the slightly sensitized specimen , this was true , but the pitting corrosion resistance was decreased in the heavily sensitized specimen in spite of the reduction of carbon segregation by the unsm - treatment . that is , this behavior requires another explanation .\nshows sem images of unsm - treated specimens before / after the anodic polarization test in de - aerated 3 . 5 % nacl at 30 \u00b0c . mechanical flaws by the unsm - treatment can be observed even in the specimen before the anodic polarization test . in particular , in the case of the 48 h - aged specimen , several mechanical flaws were observed ; and after the anodic polarization test , it was confirmed that the pitting corrosion initiated and propagated at the flaws . in other words , it should be noted that while the unsm - treatment can reduce the carbon segregation by aging , it can increase the irregularity of the surface due to mechanical flaws .\nelemental distribution analyzed by epma on the surface of unsm treated 316l stainless steel after the polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\nsem images of unsm - treated specimens before / after the anodic polarization test in de - aerated 30 \u00b0c , 3 . 5 % nacl : ( a ) 1 h - aged ; ( b ) 5 h - aged ; and ( c ) 48 h - aged .\ntherefore , we propose the pitting corrosion model of the stainless steel by unsm - treatment .\nshows the pitting corrosion model of aged 316l stainless steel by the unsm treatment . in the slightly aged specimen , the unsm - treatment refines the grain of the outer surface [\n] and reduces the carbon segregation , and therefore increases the pitting corrosion resistance even though it creates mechanical flaws . on the other hand , in the case of the over - aged specimen , the unsm - treatment refines the grain of the outer surface , and reduces the carbon segregation similar to the slightly aged specimen , but creates mechanical flaws on the surface , and then these flaws act as the initiation sites of pitting corrosion , and finally decrease the pitting corrosion resistance ."]}

i fail to see the significance , other than the hope that it will be confused with the\nvampire diaries\nseries . the story itself just doesn ' t track . for instance , caitlin and her brother sam have this horrible mother and no father , so they ' re supposed to be incredibly close :\nhe was the only constant in her life . . . he seemed\nhmmp . . let see . . this is definitely an easy read novel . . i finished it in about 3 hrs . . it has some good points in it such as how the author choose to use simple words which is definitely a good one since i ' m having a hard time reading other novels and keep on glancing my dictionary and keep wondering if its meant to be literally or if its meant to be figurative . . but anyway , i hate to say that the negative ones , outnumbered the positive . so here are some of them : i hate how caitlin keeps o\nreview for : bloddeuedd i\u2019ll be honest , when b . sent me this book and i saw the title , my thoughts were : \u201cgawd , not another vampire diaries , twilight rip - off ! \u201d \u2018cause there seems to be no end of those . it\u2019s like the davinci code all over again ! while turned is in no way original or refreshing \u2013 at least to me ( let\u2019s face it , there\u2019s not much i haven\u2019t seen and that includes lizard vampires ! ) \u2013 it was a nice read and i was glad b . sent it over . let me tell you why . caitlin\u2019s mum has the moving bug ,\nwhat a weird book . i got it for free , from the writers website . but i ' m not really sure what i think of it . it hasn ' t really started yet . i was just getting in to it , but it already ended . the idea of this book is good , and it could definitly go somewhere , but i feel like it ' s not been thought through . if that makes any sense . . i don ' t like the main character . caitlin falls in love with a complete stranger , she doesn ' t even know his name . and a few hours before she met this complete stranger she\ncontrary to what had been said by a police officer at the inquest in 2015 , in a high court hearing in 2017 a senior judge said that there was no evidence her widower was unfaithful or even that she feared he had been . the suicide note had been misread by detective inspector koran sellars , of greater manchester police , said the judge , sir brian leveson . the portion of the note which the detective believed to be addressed to another woman was actually written by ms putney to herself , he said . \u201ci have no doubt whatsoever that the note does not bear the meaning that det insp sellars sought to give it\u2026 i repeat that there is nothing in the note or any of the other evidence to suggest that mr mueller has ever had an affair or was ever unfaithful to his wife , \u201d sir brian said in his ruling .\n, except that neither swanberg nor stainken is as charismatic an actor as jean - pierre l\u00e9aud , and the drama that ultimately emerges offers nothing as compelling as eustache\u2019s devastating finale . perhaps judging this film by the standards of conventional screenwriting or french films from the \u201860s and \u201870s is misguided ; after all , swanberg has said that he\u2019s more influenced by youtube clips than cinema from the past . at its best , his cinema suggests a hybrid between previous models and something genuinely new , specific to video and our fragmented technological communication . ( caitlin talks about reducing her anxiety by going off the grid . ) while not nearly as accomplished as the films it evokes ,\nyour article contains many insightful ideas , but i believe that comparing philosophical feminist or equality ideas with this project encourages the suggestion it lacks something it may never have been trying to achieve . it came across as though you were desperately trying to dial back your criticism of stacey ( although i will accept if this is not the case ) for failing in goals that she herself didn\u2019t set . the project appears to be a direct attempt to counteract the societal ill of unhealthy media representation of women . along the line of setting up a soup kitchen to feed hungry people , directly engaging with the people who are without food . no one blames the soup kitchen for failing to dictate social policy or political debate . they are doing their bit , someone else needs to be in canberra advocating for the homeless , and trying to do both at the same time can often be counterproductive .\nwhen the flash premiered on the cw in 2014 , it won glowing reviews from comic fans and newcomers alike . with charming performers like grant gustin , jesse l . martin , carlos valdes , and tom cavanagh at the core of the cast and ingenious special effects delivering a superheroic punch , the arrow spin - off quickly became the most watched show in the network\u2019s history . but there was a hitch in * the flash\u2019 * s sprint to tv greatness . through no fault of the actresses playing its female leads , characters iris west and caitlin snow have never quite matched the stride of the show itself when it\u2019s humming on all cylinders . but the third - season premiere proves that the flash has finally figured out how to use one of its leading ladies .\nanne is played by 15 - year - old amybeth mcnulty , who is a more convincing 13 - year - old than megan follows was at 17 . she\u2019s as thin and waifish as described in the book ( in which anne is actually supposed to be only 11 ) , with big , expressive eyes . we first meet her on the train , looking out the window . when she\u2019s startled from her reverie by a crying baby , the cheery fiddle soundtrack dissolves into dissonance and she slips into a dark memory of being slapped and screamed at by mrs . hammond in the unhappy household where she used to be a little drudge . before anne has even uttered a word , we learn she has ptsd . when she comes back to herself , she remarks to mrs . spencer , \u201ci like imagining more than remembering . why are the worst memories the most insistent ? \u201d there\u2019s more than a touch of bitterness in the question . evidently , this anne shirley has issues\u2014and an edge .\nthat is , unless those women work for me . it ' s a rare kind of asshole who can lecture other women about the importance of housewifery in one breath and brag about being far too good for quotidian domestic chores in the next . caitlin flanagan is that asshole . she proudly noted in the 2003 atlantic essay\nhousewife confidential\nthat not only had she never changed a sheet , she was\nfar too educated and uppity to have knuckled down and learned anything about stain removal or knitting or stretching recipes .\nsinging the praises of her nanny , paloma , in her 2006 essay collection to hell with all that , she describes her method of dealing with a sick child .\n' paloma , patrick is throwing up ! ' i would tell her , and she would literally run to his room , clean the sheets , change his pajamas , spread a clean towel on his pillow , feed him ice chips , sing to him . i would stand in the doorway , concerned , making funny faces at patrick to cheer him up .\nwhat a weird book . i got it for free , from the writers website . but i ' m not really sure what i think of it . it hasn ' t really started yet . i was just getting in to it , but it already ended . the idea of this book is good , and it could definitly go somewhere , but i feel like it ' s not been thought through . if that makes any sense . . i don ' t like the main character . caitlin falls in love with a complete stranger , she doesn ' t even know his name . and a few hours before she met this complete stranger she was on a date with someone else , who she also liked . i mean , for the love of god choose or something . and the ending . . it ' s not an ending . this felt like half a book . where is the rest ? ( and not in a good way ) but all that said , i did like it . but i ' m also not in a hurry to read the next one .\naside from a couple of casual ( if awkward ) sexual encounters involving guys portrayed by mumblecore helmers frank v . ross and spencer parsons , the pic features few members of swanberg\u2019s usual eccentric troupe . this leaves the thesping chores to swanberg , never the most charismatic screen personality , and stainken , whose very self - possession , even when mired in doubt , offers few points of entry ; the lack of assertive personalities further divorces the scenes from any sense of linear narrative ."]}

bearing protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body . reduced blood cell volume ( hematocrit ) is also considered anemia . the reduction of any or all of the three blood parameters reduces the oxygen - carrying capability of the blood , causing reduced oxygenation of body tissues , a condition called hypoxia .\nwhen we are too hot , blood vessels supplying blood to the skin can swell or dilate ( vasodilation ) . this allows more warm blood to flow near the surface of the skin , where the heat can be lost to the air .\nanemia is caused by bleeding , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . poor diet can contribute to vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency anemias in which fewer red blood cells are produced . hereditary disorders and certain diseases can cause increased blood cell destruction . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss is usually a consequence of :\nanemia is caused by bleeding , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . poor diet can contribute to vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency anemia , in which fewer red blood cells are produced . hereditary disorders and certain diseases can cause increased blood cell destruction . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss may be caused by :\nanemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal , which prevents the body\u2019s cells from getting enough oxygen . hemoglobin is an iron -

term transfusion needs , such as patients with leukemia , may be given blood products with a reduced number of white blood cells to reduce the risk of sensitization to transfused blood .\na very common mistake in exams is to write that the blood vessels move up and down in the skin . the blood vessels do not move during vasodilation and vasoconstriction .\nthe process of breaking down of red blood cells . as the cells are destroyed , hemoglobin , the component of red blood cells which carries the oxygen , is liberated .\nwhen a lot of blood is lost within a short time , blood pressure and the amount of oxygen in the body drop suddenly . heart failure and death can follow .\nour protagonist travels to yharnam seeking paleblood , where they are treated with blood by the mysterious blood minister , turning them into a hunter with a contract with the hunter ' s dream . this blood minister is theorized by some to be caryll , the runesmith .\nanemia is caused primarily by one of three conditions . the first is bleeding . bleeding results in the loss of red blood cells from the body . the second condition is a decreased rate of red blood cell production . red blood cells are not produced as fast as they die off . the third condition is an increased rate of red blood cell destruction . red blood cells die off faster than they can be replaced by the body .\nthe two rays denote blood and water . the pale ray stands for the water which makes souls righteous . the red ray stands for the blood which is the life of souls . these two rays issued forth from the depths of my tender mercy when my agonized heart was opened by a lance on the cross\u2026 happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter , for the just hand of god shall not lay hold of him .\nanemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin ( the component of red blood cells that delivers oxygen to tissues throughout the body ) .\nloss of even one - third of the body ' s blood volume in the space of several hours can be fatal . more gradual blood loss is less serious , because the body has time to create new red blood cells to replace those that have been lost .\nsurgery may be necessary to correct blood losses caused by injury or hemorrhage ( nose bleeds , aneurysm , cerebral hemorrhage , bleeding ulcer ) or childbirth . transfusions of packed red blood cells or whole blood may also be used to replace blood volume and to stimulate the body ' s own production of red blood cells . medication or surgery may also be necessary to control heavy menstrual flow or to remove polyps ( growths or nodules ) from the bowels .\naplastic anemia . aplastic anemia is a serious form of anemia that can lead to death . the body makes too few of all kinds of blood cells : red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets ( pronounced plate - lits ) . platelets are blood cells that help blood to clot . aplastic anemia may be caused by a recent severe illness , long - term exposure to industrial chemicals , and the use of certain types of medication .\nai / acd typically develops slowly and , because it is usually mild , may cause few or no symptoms . sometimes , ai / acd can cause or contribute to fatigue , weakness , pale skin , a fast heartbeat , shortness of breath , and exercise intolerance .\nevery time a person gets a blood transfusion , their risk for a problem called \u201calloimmunization\u201d goes up . alloimmunization happens when a person\u2019s body reacts to blood from a transfusion because it is seen as harmful by their immune system , and tries to destroy it . persons with alloimmunization can still receive blood transfusions , but the blood they receive has to be checked and compared to their own blood to make sure that it won\u2019t be destroyed by their immune system . this takes time and can mean that persons with alloimmunization have to wait longer for blood , or may have a harder time finding blood that won\u2019t be destroyed by their body .\nanemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin .\nanemia is caused by a deficiency in the intake and absorption elements required to make red blood cells . the condition is defined as one in which the blood is deficient in red blood cells , in hemoglobin , or in total volume . this results in blood that is incapable of meeting the oxygen needs of the body ' s tissues . anemia is characterized by changes in the size and color of red blood cells . red blood cells , or erythrocytes , are primarily responsible for oxygen transport from the lungs to the body ' s many cells . hemoglobin is an oxygen - carrying protein in the red blood cell that incorporates iron into its structure . therefore , iron is an essential building block of blood erythrocytes . when red blood cells are larger than normal , the anemia is termed macrocytic , and when they are smaller than normal , it is called microcytic . normal red cell color is termed normochromic , and if the red cells appear pale , the anemia is called hypochromic . when extensive lab testing is not available for diagnosis , the use of a portable colorimeter can be used to detect anemia .\ngrok this : what if the world were an orange\u2013a blood orange\u2013and there were citra and amarillo hop cones orbiting all around it , with just a dusting of blood orange peel , and it was all , like , an atom ? heavy , right ? well dig this : just to keep things a little blurred around the edges , the mad chemists at elysian brewing have come up with superfuzz blood orange pale ale . it\u2019ll be available at groovy taverns , restaurants and stores beginning april 1 in six -

rith - ro - po - ee - tin ) . this protein is secreted into the blood , which then signals the bone marrow to make more red blood cells .\nred cells contain a special protein called hemoglobin , which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled . blood appears red because of the large number of red blood cells , which get their color from the hemoglobin . the percentage of whole blood volume that is made up of red blood cells is called the hematocrit and is a common measure of red blood cell levels .\nsome have theorized that bella ' s blood smelled better than other humans ' blood , but in the book , bella was only edwards\nsinger\n( the one person whose blood smells exceptionally good to him ) . so unless bella ' s blood was exceptionally tasty - smelling to all vamps , there ' s still no reason jasper should have freaked out so epically . . .\ntheories on what happened in old yharnam and on the identity of the blood - starved beast .\nthe process through which new red blood cells are created ; it begins in the bone marrow .\nproduction of red blood cells is controlled by erythropoietin , a hormone produced primarily by the kidneys . red blood cells start as immature cells in the bone marrow and after approximately seven days of maturation are released into the bloodstream . unlike many other cells , red blood cells have no nucleus and can easily change shape , helping them fit through the various blood vessels in your body . however , while the lack of a nucleus makes a red blood cell more flexible , it also limits the life of the cell as it travels through the smallest blood vessels , damaging the cell ' s membranes and depleting its energy supplies . the red blood cell survives on average only 120 days .\nwhen a child exhibits weakness , dizziness , listlessness , or fatigue , it may be the first sign of anemia . the pediatrician should be consulted if the child is also extremely pale or has little or no color in the gums , nail beds , creases of the palm , or lining of the eyelids . any prolonged bleeding or sudden blood loss requires examination by a physician and testing for anemia .\nit could also be that the ashen blood started poisoning everyone in old yharnam and the healing church used a massive amount of blood to counterattack this sickness , making the scourge grow exponentially in the city .\nhemolytic anemia is a type of anemia in which the red blood cell has a shortened lifespan ( normal lifespan is 90 - 120 days ) . because the bone marrow is not able to compensate by producing more red blood cells , anemia results . abnormalities in the red blood cells may be intrinsic or may be caused by environmental factors such as auto - antibodies to red blood cells or damage from chemotherapy .\n[ 63 ] tam\u00e1s kende , v\u00e9rv\u00e1d ( blood libel ) , budapest 1995 , p . 135\u2013156 .\nunlike red and white blood cells , platelets are not actually cells but rather small fragments of cells . platelets help the blood clotting process ( or coagulation ) by gathering at the site of an injury , sticking to the lining of the injured blood vessel , and forming a platform on which blood coagulation can occur . this results in the formation of a fibrin clot , which covers the wound and prevents blood from leaking out . fibrin also forms the initial scaffolding upon which new tissue forms , thus promoting healing .\nthere are several dozen types of anemia that are categorized by their underlying cause . when doctors test blood for anemia , they often describe the blood by the hemoglobin content of red blood cells ( color ) and by the size and shape of red blood cells . these descriptions can point a doctor toward the underlying disorder . treatment is specific for each type of anemia and is based on treating the underlying disease .\none way to treat anemia is to provide the body with more red blood cells to carry oxygen . this can be done through a blood transfusion , a safe , common procedure in which you receive blood through a small plastic tube inserted into one of your blood vessels . some people with thalassemia \u2013 usually with thalassemia major \u2013 need regular blood transfusions because their body makes such low amounts of hemoglobin . people with thalassemia intermedia ( not as severe as major , but not as mild as trait ) may need blood transfusions sometimes , such as when they have an infection or an illness . people with thalassemia minor or trait usually do not need blood transfusions because they either do not have anemia or have only a mild anemia .\nvisions .

thirds of his or her blood volume over a 24 - hour period without dying . other people have a place in their body that is constantly bleeding a little bit , such as a wound in the skin or mucous membranes inside the body ( ulcer ) . in these cases , the source of bleeding needs to be found and treated , and dietary supplements of iron often are needed to help boost hemoglobin production .\nother treatments may include antibiotic or antifungal medicines if infection occurs ; blood and platelet transfusions to counter low levels of red blood cells ( erythrocytes ) and platelets ; general supportive measures to overcome side - effects of chemotherapy .\nfrom those tissues back to the lungs . this exchange is enabled by the most important component of red blood cells\nanemia is a condition in which a person has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the red blood cells drops below normal , which prevents the body\u2019s cells from getting enough oxygen .\ntransfusion - associated graft - versus - host disease ( ta - gvhd ) is another risk factor associated with blood transfusions in cancer patients . although it is very rare , it is often fatal . with ta - gvhd , the patient ' s immune system does not recognize the white blood cells in the donor blood as\nnonself .\nthe donor white blood cells , however , recognize the patient as\nnonself ,\nand an immune - mediated reaction ensues . to prevent this reaction in at - risk patients , blood may be irradiated prior to transfusion .\n\u201c pale blood is a vacant and stylistically empty attempt at a modern day vampire film . it is all posed mood \u2013 washes of synthesizer sound , downbeat lighting , lots of slow -

nee - me - a ) is not a disease in itself . instead , it is a sign that the body has a problem with its red blood cells . the blood of a person with anemia does not contain enough red blood cells or enough of the protein hemoglobin ( he - mo - glow - bin ) . anemia can develop because of poor nutrition , excessive blood loss , destruction of red blood cells , abnormal hemoglobin , or from a number of other causes . but no matter what causes anemia , the result is always the same : the blood does not carry enough oxygen to the cells throughout the body , so the body cannot function normally .\nsince your body has fewer red blood cells when you have thalassemia , you may have symptoms of a low blood count , or anemia . when you have anemia , you might feel tired or weak . you might also experience :\nfor anemias caused by excessive or chronic bleeding , stopping blood loss is the first step . in some cases , a blood transfusion is used to replenish the volume of blood in the body . for people with dietary causes of anemia , eating a diet rich in the deficient nutrient or taking supplements such as iron or vitamins often fixes the problem .\nthe best way of diagnosing anemia is with a blood test . a sample of the patient ' s blood is taken with a needle . the sample is then studied under a microscope . the number , size , and shape of red blood cells can then be determined . this information tells whether the patient has anemia and , if so , what kind .\nsince all these symptoms above can also be caused by other problems , you\u2019ll need a physical examination and blood tests to determine whether you have anemia . sometimes a person may not notice any symptoms , but anemia will be identified by an abnormal result on a routine blood test ( such as a blood test that is part of your annual check - up ) .\nthe onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it gains from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cells ' needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size .\na blood test can often suggest the diagnosis of aml . the test will typically show a low number of red blood cells , normal white blood cells and platelets . some blast cells which have spilled into the bloodstream from the marrow are also usually seen . sometimes large numbers of blast cells occur in the bloodstream . further tests are usually done to confirm the diagnosis .\na chest x - ray , further blood tests and other tests are usually done to assess your general well - being .\na reduction in the quantity of the oxygen - carrying pigment haemoglobin in the blood . the main symptoms are excessive tiredness and fatigability , breathlessness on exertion , pallor , and poor resistance to infection . the many causes of anaemia include loss of blood (\nknown for their bright red color , red cells are the most abundant cell in the blood , accounting for about 40 to 45 percent of its volume . the shape of a red blood cell is a biconcave disk with a flattened center - in other words , both faces of the disc have shallow bowl - like indentations ( a red blood cell looks like a donut ) .\na complete blood count ( cbc ) test gives your doctor important information about the types and numbers of cells in your blood , especially the red blood cells and their percentage ( hematocrit ) or protein content ( hemoglobin ) , white blood cells , and platelets . the results of a cbc may diagnose conditions like anemia , infection , and other disorders . the platelet count and plasma clotting tests ( prothombin time , partial thromboplastin time , and thrombin time ) may be used to evaluate bleeding and clotting disorders .\nyharnam rises as a city again , with its old part burnt and closed . the healing church kept their experiments with blood .\nnot taking medication that has triggered hemolytic anemia and not eating foods that have caused hemolysis ( breakdown of red blood cells ) .\nlet me explain what you become after defeating the moon presence . basically you become a baby great one .\nthe choir\nand\nthe healing church\nis the reason why this infection started in the first place after using old blood as a way to treat various ailments . the problem with old blood is that it reacts with human blood , the old blood heals but transforms man to beasts and that ' s where the beastly scourge began . from the caryll rune beast\nbeast\nis one of the early caryll runes . as well as one of the first to be deemed forbidden . the discovery of blood entailed the discovery of undesirable beasts\n.\nhemolytic anemia can enlarge the spleen , accelerating the destruction of red blood cells ( hemolysis ) . other complications of hemolytic anemia include :\nanemia of inflammation and chronic disease is caused by red blood cells not functioning normally , so they cannot absorb and use iron efficiently . in addition , the body cannot respond normally to erythropoietin ( epo ) , a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells . over time , this abnormal functioning causes a lower than normal number of red blood cells in the body .\nblood cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells and are formed in the bone marrow through the highly regulated process of hematopoiesis . hematopoietic stem cells are capable of transforming into red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . these stem cells can be found circulating in the blood and bone marrow in people of all ages , as well as in the umbilical cords of newborn babies . stem cells from all three sources may be used to treat a variety of diseases , including leukemia , lymphoma , bone marrow failure , and various immune disorders .\nyou\u2019ve heard the story before : the man\u2019s been throwing his weight around again , muscling people all over town with super -

rith - ro - sites ) , are the most numerous cells in the blood and give blood its red color . the tissues and cells in the body require oxygen to function properly , and erythrocytes are specialized to carry and distribute oxygen because they contain hemoglobin . hemoglobin has the unique property of being able to absorb oxygen in the lungs , where it is plentiful , and release oxygen to the cells of the body , where it is needed . hemoglobin consists of four protein molecules , called globins , and up to four heme molecules . the heme molecules are red - pigmented , nonprotein , iron - binding compounds , and they are responsible for binding to and transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide .\nsome common symptoms of mild anemia include weakness , fatigue , and a\nrun -

deficiency anemia is chronic blood loss , usually from the gastrointestinal tract . bleeding ulcers or polyps , chronic irritation of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract , or cancer can cause this kind of \u201csilent\u201d internal bleeding . often , this blood loss is invisible to the naked eye , and your healthcare provider may do a simple test , called a fecal occult blood test , to find it .\na molecule found in red blood cells that contains an iron atom and that helps transport oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body .\nthe most extreme form of treatment in such cases is a bone marrow transplant . all blood cells are made in bone marrow . marrow is a fatty tissue found in the center of bones . people whose bodies make too few red blood cells may need a bone marrow transplant . marrow from a healthy person is injected into the patient ' s bones . if successful , the healthy marrow begins producing red blood cells .\ninadequate hydration can cause fatigue , poor appetite , heat intolerance , dizziness , constipation , kidney stones and a dangerous drop in blood pressure .\nanemias do not all stem from the same causes . anemia can be the result of injuries , chronic or acute illnesses , complications of surgery or childbirth , metabolic disturbances or deficiencies , and adverse response to drug therapy administered for other conditions . causes may include sudden or ongoing loss of blood , nutritional deficiencies , decreased red blood cell production , or increased red blood cell destruction . malnutrition or malabsorption of nutrients can contribute to vitamin deficiency anemia and iron deficiency anemias . although red cell destruction and replacement is an ongoing process in the body , hereditary disorders and certain diseases can accelerate blood cell destruction , resulting in anemia . however , excessive bleeding is the most common cause of severe anemia , and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms . chronic blood loss may be a consequence of the following :\ni have a question about the\npaleblood\nmost of the theories i read tells that\npaleblood\nis accualy the blood of the moon presence - the ultimate blood the note at the start of the game states :\nseek paleblood to transend the hunt\n, i thought that a\npaleblood\nwas a person - an outsider that had nothing to do with the blood plague - the main character . . .\nred blood cells are produced in the bone marrow through a process called erythropoiesis . when the bone marrow functions normally , it continuously replaces red blood cells to maintain a normal level that allows for adequate oxygenation of the tissues . the hormone erythropoietin stimulates red blood cell production and sends a message to the bone marrow to increase production when oxygen levels in the body are low . this mechanism is often impaired in patients with cancer .\nyharnam is a towering , labyrinthine gothic city , home to both the healing church and the blood ministrations . as no evidence of the existence of a ruling body is provided in the game , one may presume that the healing church controls the city ( at least indirectly ) . the church focuses around healing by infusions of blood . miraculously , blood healing can repair wounds and cure or hinder diseases . yharnam ' s whole culture became focused on blood , even to the point of blood - based drinks surpassing alcoholic beverages as the most commonly consumed . yharnam ' s populace is apparently viewed as insane or degenerate by the wider world , and the citizens have become extremely distrustful of non - natives as a result .\ni believe this happens many years in the future , the blood minister appears in the city , creating hunters for the hunter ' s dream .\naplastic anemia . sometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that allow the blood to clot ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of :\nsickle cell anemia . sickle cell anemia ( see sickle cell anemia entry ) is a genetic disorder . cells receive genes that give them the wrong instructions for making red blood cells . red blood cells are normally shaped like plump doughnuts . in sickle cell anemia , the cells are curved with sharp points . these cells easily stick to each other . they also stick to the walls of blood vessels . clumps of sickled red blood cells can collect in a vein or artery and block it . this condition can cause pain , weakness , and , in extreme cases , death .\nsometimes curable by bone marrow transplant , but potentially fatal , aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets ( disc - shaped cells that are a key component of blood coagulation ) . this disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of the following :\nit\u2019s certainly a relief to see an attempt at the grotesque reality of violent death rather than the diluted depictions of some film portrayals . but , again , with all due respect to catholicism , there has in the past and to an extent still is a virtual blood cult within it . the medieval church was obsessed with gore , and even today in southern europe we see quite repugnant fetishes with sacred blood , holy blood , miracle - giving blood . if it\u2019s european medievalism we\u2019re seeing rather than death - dry , god - drenched ancient judea , we could be in trouble . (\na cbc result that shows low iron levels in the blood yet normal measures of iron stores in the body is a hallmark of ai / acd .\niron deficiency anemia . the onset of iron deficiency anemia is gradual and , at first , there may not be any symptoms . the deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it derives from food and other sources . because depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cell ' s needs , fewer red blood cells develop . in this early stage of anemia , the red blood cells look normal , but they are reduced in number . then the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells , which are characteristically small in size . symptoms develop at this stage .\nmichael fury ( chakiris ) arrives in los angeles to investigate a series of mysterious high - profile murders where the victims have been completely drained of blood .\npatients with thalassemia usually do not require treatment . however people with a severe form may require periodic hospitalization for blood transfusions and / or bone marrow transplantation .\nanemias caused by a decreased production of red blood cells are also called hypoplastic anemias , and many different conditions and disorders can cause this kind of anemia .\nai / acd is easily confused with iron - deficiency anemia because in both forms of anemia levels of iron circulating in the blood are low . iron in the body is found both circulating in the blood and stored in body tissues . circulating iron is necessary for red blood cell production . low blood iron levels occur in iron - deficiency anemia because levels of the iron stored in the body\u2019s tissues are depleted . in ai / acd , however , iron stores are normal or high . low blood iron levels occur in ai / acd , despite normal iron stores , because inflammatory and chronic diseases interfere with the body\u2019s ability to use stored iron and absorb iron from the diet . ai / acd is the second most common form of anemia , after iron - deficiency anemia . 1\ncytomegalovirus ( cmv ) is a virus that may be present in blood products . although it has no effect on individuals with normally functioning immune systems , cancer patients often have a diminished ability to fight infection . these patients may be at risk for cmv if they are cmv negative and receive cmv - positive blood .\nblood clotting problems . this is due to low levels of platelets . this can cause easy bruising , bleeding from the gums and other bleeding - related problems .\nchildren with aplastic anemia are especially susceptible to infection . treatment for aplastic anemia may involve blood transfusions and bone marrow transplantation to replace malfunctioning cells with healthy ones .\nmore serious forms of anemia may require surgery . bleeding ulcers and certain types of stomach disorders are examples of anemias that may be treated surgically . in some cases , blood transfusions may be required . people who have lost large numbers of red blood cells may require a transfusion in order to avoid serious complications of anemia .\nthere are three broad categories of causes of anemia . first , when someone is injured and loses a great deal of blood , anemia can develop because the body\ns total blood volume is lost faster than it can be replaced . in the second category , the process of making red blood cells in the body is not working normally : bone marrow does not make enough erythrocytes , the erythrocytes do not contain enough hemoglobin , or the hemoglobin does not function correctly . in the third category , red blood cells are destroyed faster than the marrow can replenish them . some of the most common types of anemia in each category are described below ."]}

( the addition of the scene also suggests , for reasons that i won\u2019t go into , that the american series might change the identity of the killer , a shift that wouldn\u2019t be too difficult given the unusually large cast of characters and abundant red herrings . )\nperhaps the most striking difference between the two productions is their respective emotional temperatures : danish cool versus american heat . not that there isn\u2019t the same amount of grief , anger and shame in \u201cforbrydelsen\u201d as there is in \u201cthe killing\u201d ; it\u2019s just expressed with greater reserve . the children who act out do so more politely ; adults who scheme and fight do so with more compunction . some of this may be national temperament and some of it , again , may be the exigencies of short - season character development . as the victim\u2019s mother , the danish pernille larsen starts out shell - shocked and gradually builds to anger while the american mitch larsen starts out in a rage and stays there .\nlook past the rage , though , and it becomes clear that winograd has an important case to make . in peta ' s response to me , schinke wrote ,\nwinograd dishonestly and viciously attacks all open admission shelters , those that do not shut the door to any animal , even those for whom peaceful release is a mercy .\nthis is another way of saying that because peta accepts so many dire cases , cases in which euthanasia may very well be justified , it should be excused for killing over 99 percent of the animals under its care . winograd , however , argues persuasively that peta euthanizes far more than just the unadoptable cases . in the following excerpt from his blog , he reveals that newkirk admits to killing animals that are\nadoptable\n:\namericans only got them selfs to blame . why not try to get rid of all the guns oohh nooo its in the constitution so you\nneed\nthem i dont feel sorry for anyone getting murdered there you chose to have the right to weapons every attempt to remove that right is attacked and stoped then live with the consequences . im just happy i am not an american living in america\nin an effort to reassure the public , the law established the assassination records review board to consider all decisions of whether to postpone the declassification of the records . by the time it concluded in 1998 , the board had forced the release of thousands of previously secret documents from the cia , fbi , secret service and other federal agencies , as well as congressional investigations into the assassination . some of these documents showed that evidence had in fact been withheld from the warren commission , presumably to hide the failure to detect\u2014and prevent\u2014a plot to kill kennedy ."]}

to celebrate its centennial , rousselet has adapted 15 of the original funnies . before each strip is performed , there is a short english narration , but the dialogues are in french . rousselet is confident that comprehension will not be a problem .\nalways , we think visually . we have children coming to see this . their laughter lets you know how unimportant language is .\nthe write - up talks a lot about how the story is a reaction by frank miller against his own earlier batman comics and their influence . it also talks about the effect 9 / 11 had on the comic . i may try to re - read the story if i can be bothered . this book was a combined effort of a bunch of different critics from around the world , with the dark knights strikes again being chosen for the book by matthias wivel .\nread stories based on reporting for \u201ctrump revealed , \u201d a broad , comprehensive biography of the life of the 45th president .\nbuzzing comedies such as sorry to bother you and the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for the latest release dates and all the info you need .\nhalfway through rehearsals , rousselet took charge and gave the evening its structure : he kept parts of the improvisations , changed others , and threw some out .\nhis choices were always dead - on ,\nsays the actress , who played felicite , the maid .\nhe honed the story until opening night .\nits there in 1989 , its just one of the ones it cheated with by naming the entire thing instead of specific stories .\nthe core concept of parasyte is just devilman but with the demons replaced with aliens , the same ideas about predator / prey and humanity being an unnatural blight on the world are also carried over . other than those elements parasyte is a generic fighting manga .\ni ' ve been categorising the choices by company for the last week ( because i ' m obsessive like that ) and thought that seeing as comicvine is very much geared towards the main superhero companies that people may like to see the break - down for them .\nrousselet says he finds that american actors have difficulty with this nonrealistic approach .\nthe u . s . model for acting is the actors studio , { where } to be a good actor you must feel the emotions . that ' s good for the psychological aspect . . . but i prefer the french tradition - - always out of character , looking at it from a distance . one is cerebral , the other emotional .\nthe play was performed with a mixture of french and english . the balance of languages has been a struggle for rousselet ; originally , the company performed at the french embassy , and all the shows were in french . but the theater ' s 1991 move to arlington brought american audiences , as well as financial pressures . as his audience became increasingly american - - rousselet estimates it is now half - - le neon began using more english .\nfor me , foreign language theater is not the critical thing ,\nhe says .\ni use french , but more important is the image on the stage .\nhe chooses\na simple heart\nas an example .\nthat was a very visual show . there were small dialogues in french , but the narration was in english , and that gave all the ideas . we always look for the best way to mix languages .\nyou will get a notification at the top of the site as soon as the current price equals or falls below your price . you can also optionally receive an email notification ( sent only once ) , this is specified in your\nconsign to the 2018 november 17 - 18 movie posters signature auction - dallas .\na journalist\u2019s conscience leads her to reveal her source to the fbi . here\u2019s why .\ni will definitely try it , i have already started on fist of the north star though ( i ' m only really familiar with the old movie from bitd ) .\nrousselet generally builds an evening of theater by choosing stories , novels or themes and adapting them to the stage . helen hayes award - winning actress nancy robinette explains the making of last summer ' s\na simple heart\n:\nthe first week , didier had us single out the elements of the { flaubert } story that were sensorial . i was assigned sounds . someone did colors , someone tastes , and so on . we talked about them , and that gave us a sense of { the characters ' } world . then we selected the most interesting story images . we put the show together by improvising on four - line passages . flaubert was such a master , so that was very easy .\nyup i also felt that this was one of the more odd choices that stood out .\nthis web site is not affiliated with the blu - ray disc association . all trademarks are the property of the respective trademark owners . \u00a9 2002 - 2018 blu - ray . com . all rights reserved . registration problems | business / advertising inquiries | privacy policy | legal notices\nits a little out of date now ( having been published in 2011 ) but covers the entire history of comics ( with the earliest being 1837 ) so that ' s not really a big deal . it tries to cover the main superheroes but is not focused on them .\nand because the strip was printed solely in pastels , the set and costumes are pale pink , blue , green and yellow . rousselet has brought a century - old comic to life .\nthe strip consisted of three panels , so rousselet has constructed three 8 - by - 12 - foot picture frames for his set - - each only three feet deep , to createa flat , cartoon - like appearance . when the actors finish one scene , they move ( or pratfall ) to the next panel ;

' that ' s only for entertainment . here it would be like a musical . you go to relax and laugh and be entertained . but there is also in france , since the 1950s , an idea of working in a company , where the text is only part of the show , where the design , costumes , movement and actors are linked . this theater is not realistic . this is my passion .\ni like that the book tries its best to represent comics from all over the world , there ' s a lot of interesting stuff here that a lot of people won ' t have heard of . based on my own experience with us / japanese / uk comics i feel that it does a good job of covering the most important us and japanese releases but only does a reasonable job with british comics ( it covers most of the major stuff but not the more obscure releases ) . i don ' t know enough about french and italian comics to comment .\nthe placings are set out in chronological order , with each entry being given either a page , or half a page of write - up , and some info on writers and artists as well as the original publishers is included .\ni tend to go through phases , i ' m trying to mix things up a bit at the moment tbh .\ni started theater as a hobby ,\nrousselet , age 46 , says ,\nand more and more i had a passion . and the more i knew , the more it became obvious that this would be my life .\ni ' m not keen on the way that some entries are writer / artist runs ( eg lee / ditko spider - man ) , whilst others are focused on a singular story , seems kind of like cheating to me . the layout can also be a bit confusing at times .\ndidier rousselet is le neon ' s founder . he is sitting inside the theater , wondering if he ' ll get his $ 15 , 000 back . that ' s what he spent to open the doors in 1991 . he had to gut a television repair shop and put in a bathroom , heating and proper egress . to call the results spartan would be a compliment . he is sanguine , but not about retrieving his money .\nwe have detected that you do not have javascript enabled . the heritage auctions web sites will not function without javascript , so we recommend enabling it .\nlast fall , in\nl ' amour medecin\n(\nlove is the best medicine\n) by moliere , two performances a week were in french , and two in english . rousselet is hesitant to try it again .\nthe problem is that when we staged it in french , we discovered that english rhythms are different . we had to change many subtle details with the second cast . it was really like doing two plays .\nhave not read the first two but i will shortly . i have read shade though , it was great , not as good x static or human target though .\nsince you seem to be in sort of a manga kick , try bakune young if you like over the top action . this scan is pretty mild , though .\nnot sure i would ' ve put ultimate spider - man on the list , probably would ' ve gone with a jm demateis story to round off spider - man .\nthe single greatest criticism rousselet receives is that his work is too slow . his outlook is the reverse : life is too fast .\npeople in the united states are hypnotized by television , that river of rushing images - - news , commercials , soap operas flowing into one . this is not what i want . i want something simple . a piece of fabric that an audience can dream on . our theater is not action - packed . some look at what we do and don ' t understand it , because there is no crime . . .\nfruit basket , tokyo zombie , uzumaki , tdksa and golgo 13 ? i mean theses are cool and all , but really . loving the tezuka and go nagai ( also gon ) love though .\ni think maybe there ' s slightly too much manga here ( not by much , just slightly ) , it seems to me that some of their popular , but lightweight and derivative releases got onto the list , whilst similar things from other countries were not allowed . by the 90s other countries seem to have required their action / adventure comics to have something that set them apart from what came before .\nits a little strange that roy of the rovers isn ' t representing the uk side given how popular it was . i also think there should ' ve been at least one reg parlett humour strip , that guy was very prolific , long serving , and his art easily recognisable ( in fact fleetway didn ' t get any humour entries at all here , even though anthologies of humour comics made up a large amount of their output ) .\nle neon french - american theater sits next to arlington ' s rod and reel repair shop , where a sign in the window says you can get your pole lubed for two fins . this is charm , arlington - style . the theater is just one more storefront along a tacky ' 50s strip mall on lee highway . if these buildings are around in 200 years , they ' ll be viewed as romantically as 17th - century french villages today - - if , that is , cinder block can be romantic .\nsomewhere around 100 - 110 ' s i think that i ' ve read from that list . not counting the ones that i own but haven ' t read yet and things that i ' ve only read a little of and haven ' t finished yet .\ni ' ll have to check out that roy thomas x - men run someday . people usually tend to say that x - men comics only became really good when claremont took over , but i have seen the odd person bring up this roy thomas run from time to time .\nle neon was , and remains , decidedly different from most commercial fare in this - - or any - - city . this is theater for intellectuals . no cheap emotions , no soap opera plots . rarely do the actors even use scripts ; this is a theater of concepts , and visual delights .\ntheater came late to rousselet . he took his undergraduate degree in history in paris and taught for six years . in 1972 , he began a doctorate in theater at the sorbonne , and it took seven years to complete . he then taught history in tunisia for three years . in 1980 , he returned to paris with a decision : he would pursue theater full time . he formed his own company , theatre du neon , choosing the name , he says ,\nbecause theater is something illuminating , at night , in town , and artificial .\ntwo years later , he was back to teaching history .\nfor money ,\nhe says with a grimace .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ncopyright \u00a9 1999 - 2018 john wiley & sons , inc . all rights reserved\nenter your email address below . if your address has been previously registered , you will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password . if you don ' t receive an email , you should register as a new user\nthere are currently no items available for purchase in this department . search our auction archives below to find item values .\nurltoken receives more traffic than any other auction house website .

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

one of the greatest action filmmakers of all time , made a ninja movie ? ! with james caan , robert duvall and burt young ? ? ! ! for action junkies it sounds too good to be true . . . and unfortunately it is . this fairly by - the - numbers thriller about a team of veteran mercenaries protecting a japanese diplomat doesn ' t rate as one of the legendary tough - guy director ' s best , and isn ' t a particularly enthralling ninja feature , but it ' s a solid movie and a landmark for ninja fans as one of the first mainstream american feature films to give the shadow - assassins a\nrealistic\npresentation \u2014 albeit one confined mostly to the extended shipyard - brawl finale .\nand one - offs like cool boards ( in space ) , big badass rigs ( ninja storm and dino thunder ) , an awesome personnel carrier ( spd ) , rocket rides ( mystic force ) , and a cool plane ( operation overdrive ) .\nshot over a period of five years , the film opens with the humanitarian sakamoto examining a nuclear contamination zone in fukushima and proceeds to chronicle his cancer diagnosis , his beginnings in music , and his thoughts about the world \u2013 ultimately depicting sakamoto as a visionary with a complex , caring , and creative mind .\ntatsunoko ' s 1972 ( speed racer , macross / robotech ) adventure sci - fi science ninja team gatchaman was adapted for american tv as battle of the planets in the wake of the star wars phenomenon , then again as g - force in 1986 .\na man ' s body and soul are stolen and used as part of a demon castle . what ' s left becomes cyber ninja . he teams up with the chi students whose cyber - earmuffs show matching red symbols . they . . . see full summary \u00bb\nnobody did more to make ninja a fixture of video store shelves in the ' 80s ( but also targets of ridicule and parody ) than enigmatic hong kong producer / director godfrey ho , believed to have been behind over 80 films between 1980 and 1990 under a litany of assumed names , including godfrey hall , benny ho , ho chi - mou , ed woo , stanley chan , ho fong and more . nearly all of his films featured the word\nninja\nsomewhere in the title and were created by editing newly - shot fight scenes featuring colorfully - costumed ninja into ( unrelated ) pre - existing low - budget films from thailand , the philippines , and elsewhere in asia , and then using english - language dubbing to ( loosely ) tie the scenes together with an entirely new plot .\nit is the 1960s and film was losing its status as \u201cthe king of entertainment\u201d to tv , a change triggered by the televised wedding of the crown prince . aspiring young director kenji dreams of making films and spends his days at his favourite theatre , the romance gekijo , watching old black - and - white films . he\u2019s particularly infatuated with princess miyuki , a character from a forgotten film . one night lightning strikes the theatre and the princess miraculously steps off the screen and into kenji\u2019s world . still in black and white , kenji takes her out to introduce her to the beauty of color : rainbows , blue skies , purple wisteria flowers and red roses .\ntoo bad , since it features the best bond ( connery ) , the best bond villain ( donald pleasance as ernst stavro blofeld ) , the best bond villain lair ( a rocket - launch base hidden inside a hollowed - out volcano ) and the best bond finale action sequence ; with 007 leading an army of ninja to storm the volcano base . it even has one of the sharpest screenplays of the connery era , thanks to roald dahl ( really ! ) on adaptation duties . too bad the film ' s second act ( built around the\njapanified\nbond ) is so profoundly uncomfortable .\nit was followed by legend of the stone of gelel , which was released in theaters in japan on august 6 , 2005 . the film involves naruto , shikamaru and sakura during a ninja mission in which they are involved in a war between the sunagakure village and a large number of armored warriors . [ 80 ] unlike its predecessor , legend of the stone of gelel did not see a theatrical release in the united states , and was direct - to - video instead . it aired on cartoon network on july 26 , 2008 and then was released to dvd july 29 , 2008 . [ 81 ]\nbelieve it or not , japanese pop - culture remains less consistently fascinated with ninja than the west , and especially neighboring china , but the subject enjoys intermittent bouts of public fascination , particularly in the realm of manga , anime , and historical - fantasy novels . shinobi : heart under blade is an adaptation of one such novel , futaro yamada ' s the koga ninja scrolls , a fictionalized dramatization of a feud between the koga and iga clans at the dawn of the tokugawa shogunate that also served as the basis for the anime series basilisk .\nin the film horsemen ( starring dennis quaid ) , ziyi zhang has second billing in the opening credits . even if you didn ' t recognize the name , the fact that she ' s the only asian actor in the movie gives away the fact that her character is more than she seems to be when she is first introduced .\npictures . further compromised by atrocious dubbing , the story now makes little sense , with major plot elements ( like the kidnapping of the princess ) omitted altogether . the lengthy action sequences are clumsily staged and totally unbelievable . in sum , cyber ninja is a nearly unmatchable mess .\nthe only morphers that don ' t fall under either category are in mighty morphin ( belt buckles ) , ninja storm ( an amulet ball for the sixth ranger ) , jungle fury ( sunglasses for the core trio ) , rpm ( flight sticks for the sixth rangers ) , megaforce ( handheld card reader - things for the core team ) , dino charge ( guns ) , and ninja steel ( giant shuriken ) . the sixth ranger ' s morpher being very different most of the time often means someone will fit into this category if not everyone .\n, and , for the first time ever , he also exercised complete editorial supervision , while the script was written by maruo ky\u014dzuka . this film is said to be a love story by the manga author , given how he always wanted to write one . as such , its tagline is\nthe last episode ; a first love\n(\n/ \u672a\u6765\u5fcd\u8005 ) . what i didn\u2019t know about cyber ninja was that it is probably the first example of a feature length video game commercial , a much too - long advertisement for a namco arcade game that never made its way into american pizza parlors and miniature golf course arcades .\nstorming the castle : not as often as the reverse all your base are belong to us , but it happens . as noted above , zeo and jungle fury used this in place of all your base for their finales , and ninja storm and dino thunder used both at once .\nfleeting demographic rule : the seasonal themes ; recycled ones include dinosaurs ( eleven years between the first season of mighty morphin and dino thunder , ten between dino thunder and dino charge ) , ninjas ( eight years between the third season of mighty morphin and ninja storm , 14 between ninja storm and ninja steel ) , animals ( six years between wild force and jungle fury ) and cool cars ( twelve years between turbo and rpm ) . also , we had rangers - as - public / civil servants in lightspeed rescue ( 2000 ) and themes around time and space in time force ( 2001 ) \u2014 spd would be aired in 2005 and its seasonal theme is arguably a combination of those two ( and although the events are in space is alluded to here for normalizing relations between earthlngs and non - earthlings , it is relatively minor theme - wise ) .\nnaruto video games have appeared on various consoles from nintendo , sony and microsoft . most of them are fighting games in which the player controls one of a select few characters directly based upon their counterparts in the naruto anime and manga . the player pits their character against another character controlled by the game\u2019s ai or by another player , depending on the mode that the player is in . the objective is to reduce the opponent\u2019s health to zero using basic attacks and special techniques unique to each character that are derived from techniques they use in the naruto anime or manga . [ 109 ] the very first naruto video game was naruto : konoha ninp\u014dch\u014d , which was released in japan on march 27 , 2003 , for the wonderswan color . [ 110 ] most naruto video games have been released only in japan . the first games released outside japan were the naruto : gekitou ninja taisen series and the naruto : saikyou ninja daikesshu series , released in north america under the titles of naruto : clash of ninja and naruto : ninja council . [ 111 ] [ 112 ] in january 2012 , namco bandai announced that they have sold 10 million naruto games worldwide . [ 113 ]\nafter seeing a tea ceremony , misogi and what appears to be ninja training , alice remarks that all of the activities look quite interesting . in the background , a trainee manages to take flight on a kite , a callout to the book \u201ckoga ninjutsu gokuhi\u201d , where genzo hattori , a ninja , infiltrated a castle to torch it by means of descending unto it via a kite . this sounds perfect for a mythbusters episode , and it is likely the myth would be busted , since a kite is inherently difficult to maneuver and unlikely to generate enough lift to slow a person\u2019s descent .\ncan peep imdb link here urltoken this is dvdrip of japanese release so it ' s in japanese with no subs . but anyone willing to sub would be cool . ( hint hint ) i seen the us release which is a horrid dub , what else is new . seems to be a much better film in it ' s raw form . enjoy ! !\ndespite being introduced as shredder ' s lieutenants , chris bradford and xever are strangely absent from the intro of teenage mutant ninja turtles ( 2012 ) . instead , shredder is shown standing with the mutants dogpound and fishface . no prizes for guessing what ' s going to happen to bradford and xever .\ntaste the rainbow : multicolored spandex jokes aside ; there ' s a ranger team for just about every category that could fall under a young boy ' s rule of cool : dinosaur rangers , ninja rangers , car rangers , beast rangers , wizard rangers , and so on and so on . . .\noriginally screened in japan in 1988 , cyber ninja was released on vhs on july 25 , 1995 , [ 2 ] and on region 2 dvd in 2003 ( japan , europe , middle east , greenland , and south africa ) . [ 3 ] the u . s . dvd was released in 2009 .\nthe film starts off with the explanation of kaguya \u014dtsutsuki consuming the chakra fruit , the birth of the ten - tails , the sage of the six paths stopping the beast and creating the tailed beasts . it then moves over to the fight battles between asura \u014dtsutsuki and indra \u014dtsutsuki , to madara uchiha and hashirama senju , and the ending conflict between naruto uzumaki and sasuke uchiha .\nharrison , a veteran of the gladiator and\nspaghetti western\ngenres who once joked that his\ngreatest contribution to cinema\nwas turning down a fistful of dollars and recommending clint eastwood for the role instead , was paid to shoot what he thought was a small number of ninja movies for ho while working in hong kong . only discovering later that , through ho ' s cut - and - paste editing , he had\nstarred\nin over a dozen z - grade ninja movies , which would later be said to have ruined his reputation as an actor but are today amongst his most widely - known work .\nthe story : ogami itto , the shogun ' s head executioner , is conspired against by rival retsudo yagyu , master of the shogun ' s personal ninja assassination squad . when his wife is murdered , itto goes on the run and becomes a ronin for hire , taking his infant son daigoro with him via a specially - outfitted baby carriage that ' s armored , bullet - proof an equipped with hidden weapons that both father and son can trigger ( hence\nbaby cart\n) . together , they travel feudal japan taking on soldier - of - fortune work and fending off continued assault by the yagyu ninja clan .\nother violations of the limit include two kats and a katie ( mmpr - turbo , spd , and time force respectively ) , two mikes ( lost galaxy and samurai ) , and two hayleys ( dino thunder and ninja steel ) . incidentally , both\nkat\ns are meaningful names for the same reason .\nthe company is joined by mr . cyber ninja while storming the entrance to caves under the castle . one fight follows another in this movie and the few times the characters speak it does little for development . in this way the movie resembles any number of power ranger type television shows or video games . imagine that .\nfan film : a hollywood - quality fan film simply entitled power / rangers was released in early 2015 with swearing , graphic violence and sexual content . with its high production values and known actors ( katee sackhoff and james van der beek ) and skirted close to copyright infringement . ( all fan - created content offered to the public is technically illegal regardless of earning money from it , except in cases of parody and / or review . most are ignored because of the quality of the product and futility of chasing down every piece of fan fiction or fan art . the movie was good enough that it could be mistaken for an official production and especially because of the graphic content , it could have hurt the brand ' s image . saban had the movie taken down in short order .\ncarl macek , president of the santa monica - based streamline pictures , has done some valuable work in importing japanese animated films for us audiences . what he ' s done here , however , as\nenglish language adaptation producer and director\nof cyber ninja , is a joke . much in the manner of k . gordon\nbut more importantly for our purposes , it reshaped the way ninja were presented in the genre for decades . color - coded uniforms were out , black pjs were back and small teams were replaced by a surplus of infinitely - renewing foot soldiers swarming over action scenes like human fire - ants \u2014 and that was just the beginning ."]}

while i enjoyed the film , i thought it was blatantly obvious from the opening scene ( given what happened ) . thus , the whole t ' pol thing in this episode was a real cheap shot . archer clearly said he was leaving phlox with this responsibility in the first 5 minutes . obviously he wouldn ' t have said that if t ' pol had been concious too . so from the moment we see her , we know something is wrong . then they make the mistake of having the meal in the kitchen , where t ' pol doesn ' t eat . so what more proof do we need ? it is a shame that they couldn ' t have worked this one out a little better . without archer ' s speech to phlox , t ' pol ' s appearance would have made more sense .\nwhen the condominium\u2019s manager , luigi ( alfonso santagata ) , informs gianni that his bill for electricity and other services has remained unpaid for three years , a deal is struck . if gianni will look after luigi\u2019s mother , marina ( marina cacciotti ) , for a couple of days around ferragosto , the italian holiday celebrated on aug . 15 , his debts will be forgiven .\nten weeks is obviously not an option , especially given phlox ' s ( and t ' pol ' s ) mental state , so phlox ( and t ' pol ) must figure out how to start the warp engines and pilot the ship out of here . the resulting scene shows exactly why starships need engineers , and why going to warp speed necessitates an engine room staff .\ngabrielle and her husband , jos\u00e9 ( alex brendem\u00fchl ) are taking their son to a regional music competition , where \u2013 in respect to mama\u2019s gloomy sensibilities - he\u2019ll mournfully trot out some tchaikovsky . the mood in the car is peculiar . mum\u2019s distant , dad and son clearly more connected . they roll into lyon in a funk . then gabrielle spots an address that stirs a violent memory . and from there , we\u2019re off .\n2 stars filler . rehashed from voy\u2019s \u201cone\u201d which itself was not very good . meh and my patience by this point in the season was thin seeing the writers just drag out the xindi arc week after week stalling\ni ' m sure some will argue that there isn ' t much story here . they would be correct . it ' s essentially a two - character show , the impetus of which is a silly spatial anomaly with arbitrary properties . and , no , the ending is hardly the surprise that it wants to be . but that ' s okay . this is an acting showpiece , and a technique showpiece , and a fairly entertaining one .\nthe premise is that the entire crew ( less phlox and \u2014 sort of \u2014 t ' pol ) must be put into a comatose state so the ship can travel through a massive spatial anomaly ( the same type as the one encountered in last week ' s\nharbinger\n) that would cause the humans fatal brain damage if they were awake . phlox ' s denobulan physiology makes him immune to the effects . also immune to the effects are t ' pol ( sort of ) and the captain ' s beagle , porthos . passing through the anomaly will take four days at full impulse ; trip warns that to attempt going through at warp would be too risky .\nwhen t ' pol suddenly showed up , i was surprised . didn ' t he put her to sleep too ? so , i thought : oh ! she ' s a hallucination too . but then as the show went on , i kind of figured that maybe she wasn ' t . but then when the end came near , i realized that she was . so , i guess i knew , kind of . but i was satisfied . i liked the way it all played out . and i really liked the freaky hoshi scene . > > the ending of sixth sense surprised you ? wow ! while i enjoyed the film , i thought it was blatantly obvious from the opening scene ( given what happened ) . the grand majority of people who saw sixth sense were surprised by the ending . guess we all are not as clever as you .\nhaha jammer your reviews tend to attract the most pedantic cynical commentors i ' ve ever seen . i don ' t now it that ' s the star trek fan base or a combination of factors . one ' s things for sure i wouldn ' t want to go to a party with any of these folks . . . . i ' d probably commit suicide just to get away from them . and to the people saying\ny don\nt dey jus go under ? !\nwhy would a spacial phenomena expand in only 2 directions . do we live in a 2 - d world ? no , nothing is restricting it ' s expansion therefore it will fill space in all 3 directions .\nthis was my favorite episode of the season so far . i initially groaned when they argued that it would be faster to fly through something at impulse than to warp around it . that ' s like arguing that it ' s faster to crawl through the everglades on your hands and knees rather than to fly over them in an airplane . but technobabble not withstanding , i really got interested in the episode and became genuinely concerned about what they might have to sacrifice in order ot make it out of the anomaly in one piece . credit for that absolutely has to go to billingsley ' s phlox who remains my favorite character of the whole ensemble . this was truly how star trek was supposed to be made . well done !\nbut for all of these artistic touches as a director , medem the screenwriter disappointingly provides zero female support in the form of relatives or friends for magda , save for a kindly nurse . instead , her handsome married gynecologist juli\u00e1n ( asier etxeandia ) seems to have endless time to devote to magda\u2019s well - being , including serenading her now and then with cheesy love ballads . she also runs into a kindly soccer scout named arturo ( luis tosar ) at her son\u2019s match , just as arturo receives the tragic news that his daughter has died in a car crash and his wife is in a coma . how convenient that they can rely on each other to fill their emotional gaps as magda\u2019s husband gallivants about all summer with a beautiful student .\nwhen gianni runs out of food , he goes shopping for fish reeled directly from the tiber river and brings them back for a holiday feast he cooks with his best friend , viking ( luigi marchetti ) . the movie\u2019s scenes of food preparation are mouthwatering .\nbut when magda receives bad news , the movie\u2019s last third suddenly turns into a mawkish hallmark card . probable death is seen as a glorious opportunity for love , happiness and freedom ; a miracle assures her that her valiant spirit will survive no matter the outcome .\namid the teeny conflicts , there is no high drama and little overt pathos beyond grazia\u2019s observation that \u201cwithout memories , what would you do ? \u201d the performances by nonprofessional actors are so perfectly natural that \u201cmid - august lunch\u201d often has the feel of an easygoing documentary .\nas you might guess , dr . lucas , i had considered deleting this letter and starting over , since large sections of it are now , obviously , fictitious . however , i decided that my delusional account would probably prove entertaining .\n\u2014 phlox ' s letter\nfrom the land of the moon is a choc - cake rich drama that oozes along on the strength of a committed performance from cotillard and the odd sprinkle of visual flair . it presents a kind of no - frills silliness , almost tricking you into believing its balderdash . it\u2019s based on italian author milena agus\u2019s 2006 novella , which has been relocated by director nicole garcia to 1940s provence , the french coastal town of la ciotat , the swiss alps and lyon , sometime later in what looks to be the mid - 60s . the story is told in flashback from this point .\nthis is the most bored i ' ve been all season . 1 star from me , but part of the reason for that is i simply don ' t care about phlox at all . he ' s okay as a supporting character but i have no interest in episodes devoted to him .\nreedom , as the far left used to say , is the right to choose your jail . school , job , family , marriage : no cage is distraction enough for gabrielle ( marion cotillard ) , who \u2013 with a dreamer\u2019s conviction \u2013 will do anything to escape the box being built for her .\nyep , saw it coming but not immediately . when t ' pol first appeared , i was just like\nwtf ?\nhowever as the show proceeded i could see that she was never interacting with anything , and she wasn ' t telling phlox anything that he didn ' t already know , etc . so i guessed that she was just in his mind and that they were going for the sixth sense ending . jolene ' s befuddled bubbleheaded facial expression when she ' s supposedly trying to find some control in engineering was priceless ! i almost had to pause the ep , i was laughing so hard . 3 * indeed , agreed .\n@ jeff : that ' s because space has always been treated as two dimensional in star trek . of course , if you want a in - universe explanation , you could make up something about the anomaly being ( approximately ) spheric , meaning that the way over or under it was as long as the one around it .\ni quite enjoyed this episode . if we ' re going to have a diversion from the xindi story arc , then this is the sort of story i ' m happy to see , certainly much more entertaining than that groan - worthy harbinger ep . personally i ' m just glad when the writing and execution can sucessfully achieve a clear goal , even a simple one , without reaching for lazy solutions , and i don ' t think that ' s an issue here . it does strongly resemble voyager ' s\none\nin many ways , but i consider it a sufficiently different take to be worthwhile , and good further development of phlox ' s character . and the atmosphere of the story was well realised . this isn ' t a deep story , but , it isn ' t dumb , and i ' m always grateful of that in a trek episode , because you can ' t take that for granted . . . the truth about t ' pol isn ' t overly hidden , plenty of clues are there , enough to make an attentive viewer fairly sure that she ' s imagined , but not quite 100 % sure for a while , at least . and so i think the twist works well even if you do see it coming , because you get to say\nha , knew it !\nmuch better is billingsley , who displays a range that begins at affable and ends up at frazzled , but all the while comes off as\nphlox .\nthe thing about phlox is that he has an overly expressive , cheerful style of speech . most people typically only speak like that if they ' re on stage or in some other stylized medium ( like , say , star trek ) . but with phlox , it ' s his everyday style , and we accept it because he ' s a denobulan \u2014 but more importantly because billingsley brings a credibility to it . this is a solid and versatile performance , delivered within the boundaries of phlox - isms .\nt ' pol is in no better shape than phlox , and is losing control of her emotions as a result of the anomaly ' s effects . in retrospect , i like the idea that t ' pol falls apart just as phlox does ; since they are both really just phlox , it makes sense that they would both go insane at the same time .\njust by being an episode that tries to scare the viewer , it loses a star in my opinion . i never liked or understand the fun of scary movies . as seen in this episode , there is basically no story but phlox running around being scared while we listen to the typical scary music and the sudden scary imagery that pop up on semi - unpredictable cues . while i liked the monologues and the phlox / t ' pol interaction , i really couldn ' t get past the fact that this is just a rip - off of\none\n, only with the roles reversed . both have the logical scientific\nbabe\nand the doctor , an evil nebula , an unwillingness to go around it , only humans effected ( sort off ) , hallucinations of scary stuff and invading aliens , main character loosing her marbles , engine problems at the end , etc . where\none\nstill had an interesting insight into seven , this only shows typical horror show clich\u00e9s .\nor , in the case of scrubs , perhaps you are too busy laughing . a similar narrative twist \u2014 with a reasonable level of underlying poignancy \u2014 appeared at the end of this week ' s episode . i wasn ' t expecting it at all , perhaps because scrubs is not the sort of series where you expect a twist like that . but the clues were there .\nvaleria , whose elaborate , swept - up hairdo suggests a copper - colored froth of whipped cream , is the most imperious . for a while she commandeers the apartment\u2019s only television and sets herself apart from the others . once settled in , the women engage in small acts of self - assertion . one unashamedly flirts with gianni . another gripes about the kind of pasta being prepared .\nthe twist at the end , to get this out of the way , is that t ' pol isn ' t and never was awake during the time phlox is tending to the sleeping ship . she ' s a figment of his imagination , apparently designed by his mind to keep him from becoming completely unhinged , which happens gradually as a result of unforeseen effects from the anomaly field .\ni agree with marco p and brock ! reading the comments on jammer ' s review scares me . there are some really creepy and cynical people on here . anyway , i think phlox is one of my favorite characters of all star trek series among data , worf , and captain picard . but i cannot help wonder if the writers were out of ideas so they were picking ideas from previous series .\nwhy are all the doctors on star trek so awesome ? well . . . crusher not so much , but that series had picard . : p i still like the doctor the best , but phlox is still up there . . . as to the t ' pol thing , i would say its only logical for his mind to be able to imagine her instead of anyone else . as you have noted many times , the vulcans have super plot immunity , and no doubt his plot driven brain would realize this and think of her as merely immune whereas the humans he would be forced to help . he could conjure up some denobulans , but this would take a bigger leap of faith then ' t ' pol is vulcan immune ' . as phlox degenerates more though , more humans are seen , showing logic is slowly being strangled into submission . i wonder if the thing really expended at all or if that part was in his head too . the plot never makes that point clear , although of the verious figments seen throughout the episode it would be the most believable . . .\nstar trek has , of course , done it may , many times , but i ' ve always loathed the notion that a particular anomoly only affects organic lifeforms selectively ( and almost unilaterally , humans are the vulnerable species ) because it makes little logical sense . radiation , poisonous gas , or whatver else working that way is simply ridiculous . it ' s a bad as the asteroids or the storms or the holes in the ozone layer in countless disaster movies ( armageddon and the core come to mind immediately ) that seem to have minds of their own because they inevitably target urban areas when the locations should be completely random . i guess it ' s not as thrilling to see a wheatfield in north dakota get obliterated as it is to see asteroids decimate new york , electrical storms demolish rome , or cosmic rays melt the golden gate bridge .\ncompletely obvious from the start . gee , t ' pal was a hallucination ? what a shock . dumb ending . i think the complete obviousness of t ' pal ' s illusion - how could we really think otherwise ? - ruined the episode . even if you were completely dense , the drawn - out engineering scene where she was a helpless fawn made it plain , which rendered the ended\nno shit , sherlock\n.\nit probably doesn ' t really matter , because the story is more concerned with structure and technique than deep psychology or character significance . on those chosen levels , the episode works pretty well , giving phlox a series of hallucinations that he eventually recognizes as unreal and must cope with . one hallucination is his deranged hunt for the xindi insectoid , which ends when he nearly phasers porthos . ( t ' pol :\nyou nearly shot the captain ' s dog !\n)\nelsewhere the expression of inner turmoil is a lot less interesting . there is loads of gabrielle running away desperately - into the woods , the sea , a ditch . cotillard\u2019s ability to tear up in an instant is used to the point of exploitation . gabrielle is , on many occasions , simply too nasty to care about . \u201cevery time you visit it rains , \u201d she tells jos\u00e9 . \u201cpeople are right : you\u2019re mean , \u201d he says later . he sticks around , still .\ni predicted a different plot twist - i thought an alien lifeform had assumed t ' pol ' s form to hitch a ride through the spatial anomaly . would explain why t ' pol appeared without warning and wasn ' t sure how to operate the warp engine . when phlox saw the real t ' pol asleep , i assumed that he was going to turn to the other t ' pol and ask who she really was - and why she had delayed the ship from getting out of the anomaly .\ndecorating these sentiments are claw - flapping red crabs near the water , perhaps a symbol of the disease that ironically has given her inner strength and wisdom . and , in a recovery - room reverie , we are treated to the sight of magda\u2019s beloved nipple preserved on ice . but more important than the washed - out blue - tinged rooms , bleached white interiors and sun - blasted sea and sand is cruz , who single - handedly breathes a sense of genuineness into this maudlin exercise even if she can\u2019t cure all of its flaws .\ni am surprised no one mentioned the easter egg of phlox thinking something was outside the window on the hull . it seemed like an homage to shatner ' s pre - trek twilight zone episode , where he sees a creature on the wing of the plane he is on . as for the twist , i was surprised to see t ' pol the first time she appeared , but did not consider that she was not real until the end . i wasn ' t exactly surprised as much as it just made sense given what had proceeded it .\nthis episode really falls apart if scrutinized . it ' s something that has a lot of holes if thought of too much . for instance , if t ' pol was asleep , did that mean phlox never checked on her ? didn ' t she need some form of sustenance while asleep ? also , where did the crew\nrelieve\nthemselves ? just right in their uniforms ? were they all given adult diapers ? for that matter , why were they even in their uniforms while asleep ? while i was surprised by the ending , and enjoyed this episode , i did feel it was a cheap trick . it seems that someone came up with the ending , and then said\nokay , now write what happens forty minutes before this !\noverall not bad , especially since it dealt with phlox who is well played by billingsley . i saw the plot twist with t ' pol well before the reveal , but my wife didn ' t see it coming at all . i think those of us with training or exposure to scriptwriting or story analysis caught it because we look for such things while watching a story . we know that a gun revealed in a camera shot means that gun is going to get fired at some point in the story . for others , it ' s a surprise . seeing the\ntwist\nin advance doesn ' t mean anyone is smarter or more prescient , it just means we all approach our story time in a different manner and outlook . that said , i didn ' t see the sixth sense plot twist coming , though seeing that movie probably helped me in this episode to detect the similar twist .\nand to the people saying\ny don\nt dey jus go under ? !\nwhy would a spacial phenomena expand in only 2 directions . do we live in a 2 - d world ? no , nothing is restricting it ' s expansion therefore it will fill space in all 3 directions .\ni ' m pretty sure everyone understands it is 3d ( or beyond ) . the question is : why isn ' t it faster to go around the anomaly at warp 5 than to go through it at full impulse ? must have been a pretty big pancake of an anomaly . but then it expanded in thickness pretty fast so that seems unlikely . it made little sense to me and i ' d have loved an explanation in the episode . any sort of pseudo scientific explanation on what sort of anomaly it was would have been interesting . what made trek insteresting to me was the exploration of possible phenomena . here they just ignore any attempt at justifying it .\nthis holds water to a point , since phlox is no more aware that t ' pol is a hallucination than we ( at first ) are . on the other hand , the question\nwhy t ' pol ?\nis an interesting one , and it raises some issues that the story doesn ' t really address . if this hallucination is designed to help phlox deal with his isolation ( denobulans do not like isolation , and there ' s dialog explaining how they choose to live in crowded cities on their homeworld ) , why would his mind pick t ' pol , who tends to keep to herself both in real life and in this hallucinated version ? why not pick someone he knows better , like one of his wives or a close friend ? if he must imagine someone from the ship in order to fool himself into believing that he is not alone , would his mind really pick t ' pol ? ( i ask in sincere curiosity , not purely as a nitpick . perhaps he identifies with t ' pol as the other non - human outsider . )\nphlox talks about waking his medical crew after waking the senior staff . aside from the revelation that he actually * has * medical crew , it does explain why he might not know that t ' pol had been put under - - it ' s possible his crew did it . however , yeah , i ' m one of the people who saw through the thing the moment t ' pol showed up . they talked about him having to run the ship single - handedly . they prepped him to do that . he had stuff he needed to check , he had to learn how to navigate , how to fix stuff in engineering , etc . hell , he was * walking around the ship naked * . after all that , t ' pol showing up was nothing short of a\nwtf ? ?\nmoment . after reading that there was some sort of twist at the end , i was really expecting it to be something * else * , since i couldn ' t imagine they would try to use something so blatantly obvious as their twist ending - - much less that people would actually fall for it . i guess everyone watches differently , though .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe boys stage phony accidents so the girls will have to nurse them back to health .\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 .\nhal roach studios - 8822 washington blvd . , culver city , california , usa\nmickey daniels and grady sutton drive their car across the lawn in front of the girls ' house and crash into a tree , leaving very prominent tire tracks on the lawn . although this happened several minutes into the story , the tire tracks are clearly visible in the opening scenes - before the car was driven across the lawn .\n7 of 7 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nbill blake , a jovial con man is known to friends and his son as a traveling salesman , but in reality operates a phony medicine show , complete with singing , a monkey , and audience shills . . . . see full summary \u00bb\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nbip did not close in 1939 . they had been renamed associated british picture corporation . although their studios at elstree were closed at the commencement of war they continued to make films at welwyn garden city . consequently their films could not have acquired the status of public domain .\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 .\nhal roach studios , inc . . . . . . production company , metro - goldwyn - mayer studios inc . . . . . . distributor\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\nsorry , we don ' t yet have a full guide to this comedy .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\ntahar rahim , emmanuelle seigner , anne dorval , bouli lanners , kool shen , monia chokri , alive taglioni , karim leklou , alice de lecquesaing , finnegan oldfield , theo cholbi , gabin verdet , galatea bellugi , dominique blanc .

( don delillo , the novelist , was a few years ahead . ) rejected by fordham university because of poor grades , scorsese enrolled at n . y . u . \u2019s washington square college and its film program . from there , he plunged into the \u201960s : a concertgoer at the fillmore east , an expatriate in england and holland , an assistant director at woodstock ( he became an editor on the concert film ) and then a maker of his own movies \u2014 \u201cwho\u2019s that knocking at my door , \u201d about a young man in the suddenly liberated \u201960s whose catholic principles keep him out of bed with his girlfriend , and \u201cboxcar bertha , \u201d a film about a female rabble - rouser \u201cfree\u2019er than most . \u201d\nthis can apply to a number of things in the movie ; modern audiences can be shocked and appalled by how new york really was in the 1860 ' s , looking at modern new york now it ' s almost unbelievable . and yet the film , though taking a few creative liberties , is largely accurate .\nhowever , only the don leaving the hospital by ambulance was shot at lincoln hospital in the bronx , the exterior of michael standing outside with enzo the baker was shot at bellevue hospital , the 29th st . entrance ( with close - ups filmed on the paramount lot in hollywood ) . the29th st . side bellevue entrance has been closed off since 2001 , but an identical entrance is on the 30th st . side of the building and matches the entrance in the film perfectly . the interior hospital scenes were shot at the eye and ear hospital on 13th street and 2nd ave . that location is also comparable in appearance as it was in march , 1971 when they shot the scene .\nwhen scorsese returned from japan , he procured the film rights to \u201csilence . \u201d as the years passed , hardly a day went by without his mentioning the project to the people around him : actors , friends and even his old parish priest , father principe . as he made \u201cthe aviator\u201d and \u201cthe departed , \u201d \u201cshutter island\u201d and \u201chugo , \u201d he insisted that \u201csilence\u201d was the picture he really wanted to make . a jesuit was elected pope ; islamic terrorists began targeting christians in the middle east . in 2014 , with \u201cthe wolf of wall street\u201d a hit , scorsese declared that \u201csilence\u201d would be his next picture : he wouldn\u2019t commit to another until it was finished . twenty -

boxer who lives in an apartment building on the titular street in downtown new york city , clutch is the kind of no - nonsense guy you can count on when the going gets tough , but he ' s also got a soft side , whether it ' s pertaining to his daughter , a potential girlfriend , or the old dudes who live upstairs from him and don ' t get around so well anymore . also , when it comes to fighting zombies , clutch doesn ' t bother with guns or clubs or even cricket bats . nope , he just uses his fists .\n, don\u2019t really strike me as independent films . they have big actors ( well , big for horror films ) , budgets of a million or more , myriad producers , etc . to me , an independent film is one that quite frankly wouldn\u2019t be made if the director decided not to do it , populated with people you haven ' t seen in\nat his mercy , he describes the hellish ways in which he will disfigure him with his knife . when we next see him , he is walking down the street with his face obscured but several onlookers stare in horror , implying bill stuck to his word . when the camera pans around , there doesn ' t seem to be much of a difference aside from a slight scar on his cheek that is hardly noticeable .\nby the time the godfather was filmed , all us churches would have made the change in the orientation of the altar , so the way it is set for the film was probably a special staging to reflect the way it would have looked in the 1940s . the baptismal font was probably still separate in the 1970s , but that tradition is no longer prevalent .\n\u201ci don\u2019t think i am called to be a priest , \u201d garfield said to me resolutely , as if making this film had spurred him to consider the prospect . \u201cbut i had the feeling that i was being called to something : called to work with one of the great directors , and called to this role as something i had to pursue for my spiritual development . \u201d\nthey ' ve done something quite interesting with the special effects in this film . they ' ve kept the sight of attacks quite low , using mainly quick jumps and fade - to - black , or aftermath shots . it helps keep the story moving and doesn ' t give us time to mock the lower budget sfx or compare them to more expensive films like 28 days later .\nmuch of that feel comes from the picture having actually been shot in manhattan , and the city is all here , from the big beauty shots of the skyline to the nitty - gritty of clutch ' s apartment building . but mulberry street ' s sense of authenticity comes from those characters too , who all exist and act and react in this situation in such a way as to never draw the viewer out of the experience . when the super of the building turns into a big , slobbering rat - man , clutch ' s middle - aged neighbor explains it to his elderly roommate quite simply :\nhe turned into a big f - - - ing rat . we had to lock him in the closet .\nbut he ' s still more upset that his roomie has been sneaking in a stogie during the crisis . and when the upwardly mobile types in the building decide to leave town rather than stick out the infestation and fight , he responds ,\ngodd - - - ed yuppies , jumping ship . go back to connecticut !\nis well worth seeing and comes strongly recommended for you thinking people that want to see more than just teenagers making out and then getting killed . the film for the most part is a strong zombie siege style movie , that\u2019s only really let down by its all of a sudden lame ending . and it ' s refreshing to see a zombie movie ( even though it ' s not really a zombie film even though it follows the classic format ) with strong characterisations acted by good actors under keen and assured direction , despite its flaws . with more budget assigned to the action sequences , and with a better ending , this could easily have been a classic . either way , it ' s still well worth catching if you can see past its shortcomings , which i ' m sure most of you will .\naccording to the press release , the exhibition \u201clooks at the urban violence and mayhem that was the focus of weegee\u2019s early work . \u201d he lived across the street from a police station and would hear of new crimes through his police - band radio receiver , often heading to the scene even before the police . with liberal use of flash , he \u201cilluminat [ ed ] crime scenes and tragedies with garish artificial light . this new approach produced lurid high - contrast pictures . \u201d\nan adaptation of massimo carlotto\u2019s respiro corto , is a \u2018gangster film goes global\u2019 , as new generation of criminals exploit the vast illegal markets of smuggling ( to avoid tariffs ) , human trafficking ( to provide cheap labor ) , money laundering ( to repatriate profits ) , waste disposal ( to eliminate toxic by products ) , narcotics ( to cope with the frenzy of a 24 - hour global market ) in an increasingly globalized economy .\nhere\u2019s the thing : the last time i visited brooklyn heights , a few years ago , the entrance to this bar \u2013 including the art deco goldfish \u2013 were still visible from inside the clark street subway station . the glass doors were largely boarded up and padlocked , and could be seen only from several yards away . but if they\u2019re still there today , look directly to your left as you enter through the subway station turnstiles \u2014 you may still glimpse the doors . what\u2019s behind them \u2026 i\u2019ve always wondered .\n: while scorsese definitely did the research , he noted that the film is intended to be more of an\noperatic\nmyth than a documentary ; as a result , he felt free to mix and match cooler - sounding elements of various historical accounts that didn ' t coexist in real life . the bulk of the movie ' s set from 1862 - 1863 and rolls a decade ' s worth of history into that time period .\ndeliberate values dissonance : the examples are legion . chinese immigrants are physically ( and violently ) prevented from voting . two rival city fire departments brawl in the street instead of actually putting out the fire . the welfare state is nonexistent , as the only people who give a damn about the sufferings of the slum inhabitants are church leaders and opportunistic\ndo - gooders\nlike boss tweed . and the only action taken against the threat of epidemic disease is squirting antibiotic gunk all over the streets from time to time .\ni was fortunate enough at the age of 15 to have had the opportunity to be an extra in the godfather . i was at connie\u2019s wedding at the house on staten island and i actually appear for a few brief seconds in the film . i remember very well the location and the fake walls made of plywood covered in stone veneer . thanks for the pictures of what it looks like today . brings back memories i will always cherish .\nafter dark horrorfest ( also known as 8 films to die for ) is an annual festival that began in 2006 , highlighting independent genre movies that would have otherwise been delegated to the dusty shelves of the local rental shack , doomed to the hell that is obscurity . it was an inspired concept , giving budding film makers a platform to present their crafts , and i was excited to see what the future of horror had in store for me .\nthis is the best review of godfather locations that i\u2019ve ever seen . two items i\u2019d like to add . that barbershop photo has a logo on the glass which looks a lot like the logo of the st regis hotel in midtown ( someone above already mentioned that ) . regarding lincoln hospital in the bronx , i used to work right across the street from the new hospital location while it was being built . it was finishing up when i quit in early \u201972 . i\u2019d guess that the old hospital was demolished in \u201972 or \u201973 .\nthe film stars garrett hedlund , andrea riseborough , forest whitaker , tom wilkinson and usher raymond , among others . it is set in the south in the 1990s and follows character mike burden , an orphan raised within the ku klux klan , as he tries to leave the group at the urging of his girlfriend . whitaker portrays the pastor of a black congregation who takes burden , his girlfriend and her son in , in order to protect them from a vengeful klan .\nit\u2019s also smartly paced . the first 40 minutes are like old cronenberg in a way , with just the feeling of impending dread instead of in your face gore sequences . we just see these guys going about their day , with minor mentions of rat problems and such sort of presented in the background . then the 2nd half of the film ( it\u2019s only 82 minutes long , hurrah ! ) is an almost nonstop series of \u2018zombie\u2019 attacks ( they\u2019re more like the ratty vampire things from\nthe 55th street entrance to the wellington hotel looks very much like the location where one of the heads of a family gets locked in the revolving door and killed during the baptism assassination sequence . i have no proof that this is the location . it is just a hunch coming from me staying there on my only trip to nyc and as i went out that door knew that i had seen it before . then watching the movie again later this year convinced myself that was why it was familiar . i am curious if any ny\u2019ers could look closer and see what you think .\ni found the actual gravestone used in the film many years ago at fasolino monuments nearby the cemetery . they either sold or donated it to a school in long island city . my wife and i saw it in a lobby near some elevators there , but i haven\u2019t visited there in years . also , i haven\u2019t read all the posts , but supposedly , the barber shop \u201cmoe greene\u201d scene was shot at the st . regis hotel . hence the st . r on the window outside the shop .\nweren ' t zombies either , merely infected humans , no matter what the fan sites say . this time though the infected have been bitten by rats , and the infected begin to display rat like characteristics almost immediately . big teeth i can buy ( like the guys on the cover - they ' re not in the film by the way ) but the big snouty rat noses look a little bit ridiculous , which is a crying shame . not that you ever get to see them for that long though ,\nthe cast is a huge part of that success . with one exception , i don\u2019t doubt for a second that any of these characters ( mostly blue collar types ) are genuine , hard - working new yorkers who get caught up in a horror movie plot . damici in particular is a fantastic lead , and carries the film effortlessly . big actors wouldn\u2019t work for this particular movie . i always hate when i\u2019d see a schwarzenegger movie that tried to pass him off as a regular family / working man ( like\nboss tweed , too . he tries to be a magnificent bastard . in the latter half of the film , he stokes the flames of conflict between bill cutting and amsterdam until the two are driven into a gang war which leaves all his rivals decimated . as a result , he is able to emerge as the uncontested master of new york politics until his downfall in 1871 . however , a lot of his constituency is dead by the movie ' s end .\nwe ' re burying a lot of votes tonight . . .\nthe cavalry : technically , the infantry , but once the riot breaks out , there ' s a montage of violent scenes and telegraph reports about how the police are totally unable to contain the riot , the rioters have taken control of the city , all the police have been put out of action or are unaccounted for , there ' s no hope , and then , suddenly ,\nfrom 16th , the 7th regiment has arrived , foot of canal street . they are on their way to broadway .\nthere ' s still a lot of fighting before the mob is put down , but you know the tide has turned ."]}

16 since we are sure to rise again at the last , why should not the believing hope of that resurrection to eternal life , make it as easy for us to put off the body and die , as it is to put off our clothes and go to sleep ? a true christian , when he dies , does but sleep ; he rests from the labours of the past day . nay , herein death is better than sleep , that sleep is only a short rest , but death is the end of earthly cares and toils . the disciples thought that it was now needless for christ to go to lazarus , and expose himself and them . thus we often hope that the good work we are called to do , will be done by some other hand , if there be peril in the doing of it . but when christ raised lazarus from the dead , many were brought to believe on him ; and there was much done to make perfect the faith of those that believed . let us go to him ; death cannot separate from the love of christ , nor put us out of the reach of his call . like thomas , in difficult times christians should encourage one another . the dying of the lord jesus should make us willing to die whenever god calls us .\n11 : 10 -

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

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

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

[ 1 ]\nin september , 1906 , bipin chandra pal and pramatha nath mitra took a tour of the newly created province of eastern bengal and assam . [ 2 ] the latter , while delivering his speech , asked them to come forward who were willing to sacrifice their lives for their country and pulin had stepped forward . [ 2 ] subsequently , he was nominated to organize the dhaka chapter of the anushilan samiti . in october , [ 3 ] pulin founded the dhaka chapter with 80 young men .\npulin was a remarkable organizer and the samiti soon had over 500 branches in the province .\npulin founded the national school in dhaka . it was basically built as a training ground for raising a revolutionary force . in the beginning the students were trained with lathis and wooden swords . afterwards they were groomed with daggers and finally with pistols and revolvers .\npulin masterminded the plot to eliminate basil copleston allen , the erstwhile district magistrate of dhaka . on 23 december 1907 , when mr . allen was on his way back to england , he was shot through his body at the goalundo railway station but he narrowly escaped with his life . [ 4 ] a few days after the incident a gang of around 400 muslim rioters attacked pulin at his residence chanting anti - hindu slogans . he staved off the rioters bravely with barely a handful of his associates .\nin early 1908 , pulin organized the sensational barrah dacoity . the audacious dacoity was committed in broad daylight by a group of revolutionaries at the residence of the zamindar of barrah , under the nawabganj police station in the district of dhaka . the fund was used for buying arms and ammunition .\nin 1908 he was arrested along with bhupesh chandra nag , shyam sundar chakravarti , krishna kumar mitra , subodh mallick and ashwini dutta and interred in montgomery jail . after his release from jail in 1910 , he began to rejuvenate the revolutionary activities . around this time the dhaka group began to operate independently of the kolkata group . after the demise of pramatha nath mitra , the two bodies separated .\nin july , 1910 , pulin was arrested again along with 46 other revolutionaries on charges of sedition . later another 44 revolutionaries were arrested . this came to be known as the dhaka conspiracy case . after the trial pulin was awarded lifelong imprisonment . he was transferred to the cellular jail where he found himself in the company of revolutionaries like hem chandra das , barindra kumar ghosh and vinayak savarkar .\nafter the war pulin ' s term was reduced and he was released from jail in 1918 but kept in house arrest for another year . in 1919 , when he was totally released , he once again tried to revive the activities of the samiti . the organization had been banned and its members were scattered here and there , and there was only a lukewarm response . at the nagpur congress and later at kolkata , the majority of the surviving revolutionaries accepted in principle the leadership of mohandas gandhi and decided to support the non - cooperation movement . pulin , however , remained a steadfast and declined to comprise with ideals and refused to accept the leadership of mohandas gandhi . as the samiti was then a banned outfit , he founded the bharat sevak sangh in 1920 to carry on the revolutionary activities . under the patronage of barrister s . r . das he publishes two periodicals hak katha and swaraj through which he began to spread the revolutionary ideas . he began to criticize the congress policy of non - violence . the samiti continued to exist in secrecy , however , his differences with the samiti began to surface . he severed all his links with the samiti , dissolved bharat sevak sangha and retired from active politics in 1922 .\nin 1928 , he founded the bangiya byayam samiti , at mechhuabazar in kolkata . it was an institute of physical culture and effectively an akhada where he began to train young men in stick wielding , swordplay and wrestling .\nhe came under the influence of a yogi and the feeling of non - attachment grew in him . he married & had three sons & two daughters . after that time till date bangiya byayam samiti was successfully run by his second son sourendra till date 2005 . presently his grand sons biswaranjan & manishranjan are seeking professional & governmental help to rebuild the ideals of pulinbihari . at that time swami satyananda giri and his friends used to frequent his place and hold satsangs at a nearby cottage .

it are the very well - structured techniques , deeply articulated to each other , a lot of footwork , the fluency of play , and some fighting strategies .\noriginating from the state of punjab , gatka was developed as a self - defense mechanism by the sikhs . it was a battle technique created by the sikh warriors during the martial period of the great sikh gurus . it is a style of stick fighting between two or more practitioners , with wooden sticks ( called soti ) intended to simulate swords . in gatka , the\nstick\nand\nfarri\nare also used to substitute the sword and shield respectively

yuddha is an unarmed martial art form from varanasi ( benares ) in north india . similar to southeast asian kickboxing styles , it makes use of punches , kicks , knees and elbow strikes and head

target for the amount the spell allows .\nwhen you start considering the combination of slow + ward , you are in pretty subjective territory . do i believe that slow + ward is comparable , or even superior to healing ? sure do . but , and it ' s important to note this , you have no guarantee that your slow will not be resisted . now , when you look at the guarantee that ac will mitigate damage , and the guarantee that a heal spell will heal for xx amount of damage when it is cast , how exactly does slow + ward compare ? if you are unable to get your first slow to stick to the mob you are fighting , you are already behind the game . sometimes , i have cast up to 3 slows , all resisted .\nsecondly , up until level 35 , all of our slow spells are single target only . which is fine in many many of the 1 - 2 mob encounters we find in our lower levels . but i have been spending a fair amount of time in re lately , and when we fight the 4 - bajillion mob encounters ( linked , or accidental\n) i can tell you it ' s pretty unfeasible to try and debuff the mobs . you ' re better off just spamming ward . which , i will point out , works ok for the most part . however , given the fact that numerically our wards seem to protect for = or less damage than other heal spells , which get to factor in the guarantee of ac mitigation , i do feel like we don ' t get a comparable ability to heal .\ni know some mystics have said that they feel they do fine keeping their party alive . in truth , i feel like i do an ok job myself . but the numbers others have crunched don ' t play out to be that fair between the 3 classes . i would be fine if they didn ' t want to give wards ac mitigation . . . if they did something to address the discrepancy . maybe move down the aoe slow spell to level 30 . or perhaps give us a timed spell we can cast on our tank that channels a debuff through the ward , making a debuff ( slow , lower str , etc ) proc through the ward every time it is struck . as it stands now though , i don ' t feel good about every time our party wants to fight hordes of mobs and i am a sole healer ( and let ' s not turn this into a 1 vs . 2 healer group debate right now , that ' s a different issue : smileywink : ) .\nok , so that post makes no sense . . . clerics can add more hp than a shaman can . . so more hp is the clerics equal to slows as a\nproactive heal\nwith wards not taking into account ac it makes them effectively more and more useless the better your group is . a ward shouldn ' t be as effective for a caster as it is a tank . a cleric ' s reactive heal makes sense , it lasts longer on a tank than a caster because the tank takes less damage per hit . me at 1800 ac sometimes gets the ward ' s complete damage taken off in 1 hit . . . . so i that case i might as well go for very light armor with power / hp stats than using medium armor with alot more ac . titus\ni have to totally disagree with the above post infact i don ' t believe the mystic class needs twinking at all . i ' v alreay done every part of runneye including the two instances that comprise of runnyeye b . the mystic is far mor effective healer then the druid and shouldn ' t be more effective then a cleric . the only thing i would do to our class is increase our debuffs if anything . the wards nulifying the ac on the target is fine becaue ur giving that toon an extra xx amount of hit points in essence . well i also miss haste but oh well this is a new game and needs new tactics adjust your playing to best fit the game not complain about what this and that do

doesn ' t . and skill usage makes up a very large portion of npc dps .\nas an example , here ' s the result of me fighting an even con l25 crab . the only spell i used was heal .\nhere ' s a log of me against another l25 crab , where i maintained keening haze adept i on the crab .\nas you can see , the ' normal ' attack rate went from 3 . 75 to 4 . 35 seconds per attack , a whopping 16 % slow . the special attack rate ( wild swing , crush , etc ) decreased from 9 . 23 to 8 . 39 seconds per attack .\ni don ' t want to hear any speeches about statistical samples , etc . it ' s clear that ' special ' attacks aren ' t slowed , and make up a large portion of npc damage . it ' s no wonder i feel like my adept 1 keening haze is absolutely worthless . i won ' t even get into discussing the boredom involved with spamming wards .\nrunneye is nice and all but that doesn ' t have jack to do with effectiveness of wards . balance is the key here . i ' ve not notice a difference in instant heals between myself and a cleric . . and there shouldn ' t be sense the priests should be balanced . lets take for example a reactive heal vs . ward these should be balanced so lets use 500 as a nice round number ( ward being 500hp worth and reactive heal being 500hp worth ) you would think this is balanced . . . aye to the naked eye it is . . . . but , lets take a . . 35 ^ ^ mob . . . it does a barage for 500 hp . this hits the tank ( 2200ac ) for lets say 350 . . the reactive heal then heals for 350 and is still there for another 150 hp of damage . . so lets say the mob has to do 250 raw damage to equal that 150 damage with 2200 ac . so this example tells us that the reactive heal of 500 wears off at 750 raw damage on a 2200ac tank lets take that same mob with same damage with a shaman casts ward on tank . . . mob does 500 raw damage . . ward absorbs all 500 damage and disappears then mob hits for 250 raw damage . . now that the ward is off the tank mitigates damage to 150 . . . with this you see that the balance is off because at the end of the ward / reactive heal cleric has nothing to do but recast reactive heal shammy has to heal tank for 150 hp then re - ward this is about as useful as the grp rez and aqueous spirit spells . titus\ntarllac wrote : the wards nulifying the ac on the target is fine becaue ur giving that toon an extra xx amount of hit points in essence . well

warren song that would eventually become an enormous hit ,\nat last ,\nbut zanuck decided to save it for his next glenn miller movie ,\nspecial performances make these films special . sun valley serenade features two figure skating sequences performed by three - time olympic gold - medal winner ( 1928 , 1932 , and 1936 ) henie . the first is pretty standard fare : as henie puts on her moves in an effort to impress ted , the crowd of \u201cregular\u201d skaters parts to give her center stage . the second performance is intentionally choreographed as part of the plot , with dozens of skating extras , and it occurs at night , on \u201cblack ice\u201d ( regular ice coated with a layer of black dye ) . the nighttime black ice effect is gorgeous , giving henie the look as if she is skating on a mirror . kudos to cinematographer edward cronjager for a flawless set - up and execution .\nwith a history of all - time classic movies having been shot here (\nhow to marry a millionaire\nstarring marilyn monroe , betty grable , and lauren bacall , for one ) , an idaho film - making revival underway , and a host of stars - in - occasional - residence ( clint eastwood , scott glenn , arnold schwarzenegger and bruce willis all reside in sun valley part time ) , cinema lovers are actually in their element here .\nas a master of ceremonies in vaudeville in the 1930 ' s ( heralded as the youngest m . c . ever to work b . f . keith ' s palace in new york ) , mr . berle developed his habit of getting into everyone ' s act . he become a headliner in broadway shows , including a 97 - week run in the ziegfeld follies . he made movies (\ntall , dark and handsome ,\nsun valley serenade\n) . and he did a lot of radio , everything from the fred allen show to\ncan you top this ?\nbut as he acknowledges during an interview in this documentary , his humor was too visual for a big success in radio . and then along came television and\ntexaco star theater .\n, meanwhile , wound up as probably her best picture . the story is essentially a romantic triangle between a big band pianist ( john payne ) , the band ' s singer ( lynn bari ) , and a norwegian war refugee ( henie ) , who all converge at sun valley when the band lands a job there . milton berle is on hand as the band ' s manager , and portraying the band is the glenn miller orchestra , complete with glenn miller himself as the bandleader .\n( 1941 ) had its genesis in a spontaneous brainstorm by darryl f . zanuck . the twentieth century - fox studio chief was on a winter vacation in sun valley , idaho , with one of his contract directors , bruce humberstone , and their wives . wouldn ' t this be a good setting , mused zanuck , for a sonja henie film ? and wouldn ' t humberstone like to move up from the\nb\nmovie world and direct it ? the answer to both questions was a clear\nyes .\npale rider ( 1985 ) . sun valley\u2019s most famous and iconic western . directed by clint eastwood and starring eastwood as the mysterious no - name drifter who rides into a small mining town to help local citizens michael moriarty and carrie snodgrass face up to the ruthless proprietor of a strip - mining company threatening their land and livelihood . shot on location in the boulder mountains , less than 20 minutes from director and star actor clint eastwood\u2019s home ( with a few scenes staged up over galena summit in the stanley basin ) .\nhenie , the famous norwegian figure skater who had won gold medals at the 1928 , 1932 and 1936 winter olympics , had become a big star for fox since signing with the studio . she was very popular , and her seven films so far had made lots of money . but as eager as zanuck was to build a movie around her in the winter resort town of sun valley , he was equally fed up with her difficult , temperamental nature , and was strongly considering not renewing her contract , which would end following this film .\ndespite being a native new englander , s . c . \u201csam\u201d gwynne has really made a name for himself as a texan . the award - winning journalist spoke about his pulitzer prize - nominated , historical book , empire of the summer moon : quanah parker and the rise and fall of the comanches , the most powerful indian tribe in american history to a packed sun valley pavilion last summer . gwynne jokingly entitled his talk about the brutal opening of the american west : \u201cconnecticut yankee too dumb to know any better stumbles upon old western frontier . \u201d\ndisney recorded fantasia in multi - track sound for actual theatrical exhibition , but the multi - track recordings of many 40 ' s movies were not originally intended to be used for anything but soundtrack editing of the final mono - soundtrack . several tracks were recorded from different miked areas to give different audio perspective for a given shot ' s point of view . this has allowed surviving multi - tracks to be remixed into stereo versions for more recent restorations or soundtrack reissues on cd . ( the stereo remixes on the soundtrack cd of meet me in st . louis that came out awhile back is a great example of this . ) . miller ' s recordings for orchestra wives and sun valley serenade do sound better than many of his original recordings due to better frequency range on 35mm soundtrack , though a lot of the broadcast transcription disc of miller ' s radio performances also sound better than his 78 ' s for the same reason , better frequency range on the larger 16 inch discs .\nhowever , make no mistake . not only was glenn miller in the right place at the right time , he had the chops to pull it off . watching these films and hearing miller\u2019s signature moonlight serenade , his hits like i know why , people like you and me , at last , and serenade in blue , plus his legendary numbers like in the mood , chattanooga choo choo , and i\u2019ve got a gal in kalamazoo ( the latter two of which are sung by tex beneke , a miller saxophonist with an unmistakably unique voice ) , is especially pleasing because not only are they all great songs , the arrangements are different than those you would hear on a typical \u201cgreatest hits\u201d compilation . this adds a nice freshness to them that , once you hear them , will certainly put you \u2026 in the mood .\n\u201ci absolutely love sun valley . i was lucky enough to make a movie here ( ' pale rider ' ) , and if i had my way i would hang out here all the time , \u201d he said . \u201cbut i guess i\u2019ll have to make another movie at some point since my last movie ( ' american sniper ' ) did fairly well . so much of this business is hard work and a lot of good luck . tonight i consider myself lucky to get to know you all . i can only wish you the best of luck to keep this great film festival going for many years to come . \u201d\njohn payne , sonja henie and milton berle star in this lighthearted romantic comedy that features the glenn miller orchestra as a struggling band named the dartmouth troubadours . the group is about to get it ' s big break at a posh sun valley ski resort , when the romance between singer vivian dawn ( lynn bari ) and piano player ted scott ( payne ) is shaken by a publicity stunt set up by band manager\nnifty\nallen ( berle ) .\nnifty\nhas arranged for ted to adopt a war refugee , and ted becomes responsible fore a beautiful norwegian ( henie ) who decides she wants to marry him !\nwas difficult . transportation of equipment to the town was long , complicated , and costly , and much of the equipment itself proved heavy and challenging to use in the snow and ice . worst of all , terrible weather led to constant disruptions . in fact , none of sonja henie ' s skiing or skating ended up being shot on location - - it was all filmed in the controlled environs of the fox studio lot . but even though the film had a high , $ 1 . 3 million final cost , zanuck didn ' t get too upset about the delays since he was using the location shoot as an excuse to frolic at sun valley with a french girlfriend .\nthe whole ' finders keepers ' team is very grateful for the two awards we received at the sun valley film festival . it was the first time that a film has won two awards at the festival , so you can imagine our shock and the honor of being called back up to the stage '\nsaid clay tweel .\nthe trip to idaho was my first time in the state and it was an amazing venue for a festival . i really appreciated how engaged and vocal the audiences were , especially at q & a ' s and some of the talks i attended . between the skiing and the great food at places like cristina ' s , i hope to come back in the future !\na great film from long ago . i have long been a glenn miller fan and was pleased to find out the my 8 and 10 year old kids love this film and the music also . sun valley was around 3 years old at the time of filming and watching the film really makes you yearn to be a part of the way things used to be . even immigration is covered as the band goes to ellis island to pick up the\nlittle\nrefugee . chattanooga choo choo was featured in the film and many not know that it was the very first gold record , the first million seller . a classic film i would recommend to all , young and old . kick back and listen to the way music used to be in the golden age .\nsheep , dogs and shepherds have been part of the northern rocky landscape for over 150 years . it is said that in 1918 idaho\u2019s sheep population was 2 . 65 million , nearly six times the state\u2019s human population . second only to sydney , australia , the wood river valley shipped thousands of lambs by railroad to markets around the west and was a major sheep center during that time .\nthough that industry has shrunk in recent years , sheepdogs are still an integral part of sheep ranching in the wood river valley . there are now two types of modern sheepdogs : guardian dogs which , in the wood river valley , are often great pyrenees ; and the border collie which , according to fourth - generation idaho sheep rancher john peavey , he couldn\u2019t run his operation without . the guardian\u2019s job is to protect the sheep from predators . as pups , they are put in a pen with the sheep where they become family . the dogs will typically bond to a particular ewe and even ride on the trucks with them . \u201cthe key to raising effective guard dogs is very little human attention , \u201d says peavey . \u201ctheir job is to bond with the sheep , not the shepherd . \u201d\nit ' s about a band that ' s stone broke and their publicity manager thinks that for the good of the press they should adopt a little refugee from another country and have pictures taken of them to show how kind the band is . well , when the time comes for them to meet the refugee , it turns out to be sonja henie ! they finally get a job in sun valley which at this time is covered by snow and ice . they plan to leave sonja at the publicity manager ' s aunt ' s house , but she wants to tag along . by the way , she was a refugee from norway , and she knows all about skiing and ice skating and everyone has a great time . surprising to me was that it is more a skiing movie than an ice skating movie , since sonja was an ice skater .\nsince he started as film critic for the chicago sun - times in 1967 , and began covering movies locally and at international film festivals , roger ebert has met and interviewed countless movie idols , artists and unknowns - - some of them even before they became famous . there ' s hardly a major figure in the history of movies , from the last part of the 20th century into the 21st , that he hasn ' t encountered .\nwhile the sun valley film festival in idaho is only in its fourth year , it ' s already proving to be a rising star in the festival landscape , attracting enthusiastic filmmakers and big hollywood heavyweights . this year , clint eastwood was honored with their inaugural lifetime vision award at an intimate dinner 6 , 000 feet up mt . baldy at the spectacular and historic roundhouse restaurant . eastwood is fond of the picturesque holiday spot that is renowned for being the first destination winter resort in the us . he filmed his 1985 western \u201c pale rider \u201d in the area , and spends a lot of time there . with his current box office smash \u201c american sniper \u201d now the biggest box office film of 2014 , taking over $ 341 million in domestic totals , the laconic 84 - year - old actor / director promised he would keep working as he accepted his award .\nin the 1970s , sorrels played at the leadville espresso in ketchum ( now the picket fence ) , owned by her friend , the late millie wiggins . coincidentally , her grandfather , reverend stringfellow , used to preach in the same building when it was ketchum\u2019s only church . over the years , she\u2019s returned often to the wood river valley . in 1978 , she and her old performing partner , bruce \u201cutah\u201d phillips , played at the second annual northern rockies folk festival . she also loves the national old -

term schemes . although they devote less time to scheming than elder dragons do , they might establish contacts within nearby communities or merchant organizations , the better to learn when and where great treasures will become available . their negotiating strategies boil down to bribery or threats , rather than the elaborate manipulations and deceptions employed by more powerful wyrms .\nnot sure which dragons to breed ? view your current goals or visit the dragonarium to see which dragons you haven ' t collected yet . tapping on a dragon in the dragonarium will give you a breeding tip to help you breed that dragon .\n\u201cwe now have a dog and alistair is still the dumbest one in the party . \u201d \u2014 morrigan this article contains spoilers for dragon age : origins . click here to reveal them .\neveryone who makes even a cursory study of dragons knows of their four main stages of life , which sages have dubbed young , adult , elder , and ancient . in truth , dragons must first pass through an earlier stage that few adventurers see : wyrmling . they also pass through a final stage called twilight .\nthe separated setup makes sense , since kennedy works remotely \u2014 he is based in greenwich , u . k . , while the dragon age team is at bioware edmonton , seven hours behind .\nin the adult stage bearded dragons are about 2 years old and fully grown in length and will start to grow more in width . dragons in this stage are a lot more laid back and relaxed . dragons have a complete sense of what to expect in their daily life and have a full recognition of the people and things around it . spending most of their time basking and occasionally walking over to eat . dragons don ' t like to exude too much energy unless of course they are male and see a female or rival male . dragons typically live for about 8 - 10 years , but there have been cases where they lived to be 15 . it is important to remember at this stage your face is imprinted on them , they recognize you for providing their needs and this is the best age to spend long periods of time holding them and even taking them out to a park or pet store ( with a harness ) .\n\u201ci fall off horses . it ' s this thing i do . \u201d \u2014 maric this article contains spoilers for dragon age : the stolen throne . click here to reveal them .\nthis is a book for kids , i ' d say age 8 -

[ 32 ] she calls herself\nthe unburnt\ndue to her miraculous survival of drogo ' s funeral pyre and conflagrations at the house of the undying and the temple of the dosh khaleen . it was that same pyre that , of course , gave daenerys her most impressive title ,\nmother of dragons .\ndaenerys unsuccessfully appeals to more of the merchant nobles of qarth to lend her ships . after meeting with the returns to xaro ' s home to find that it has been attacked ; half of her men have been brutally murdered , irri is dead , and doreah and the dragons are missing . unbeknown to her , doreah has taken her dragons to the house of the undying , due to an alliance with xaro and pyat pree .

earned wealth for thieves utterly anathema .\ndragons lay eggs in small clutches , the exact number varying according to the kind of dragon . females can lay eggs as often as once per year but rarely do so that frequently . dragons have a greater degree of influence over their own reproductive systems than humanoids do . although a female dragon cannot completely control whether or not mating produces fertile eggs , the chance of fertilization falls dramatically if the dragon does not wish to reproduce .\nthe masters are bewildered by daenerys unwavering confidence until drogon lands beside her . she mounts her dragon and the two take flight , while rhaegal and viserion break free from the catacombs of the great pyramid - all three dragons finally reunited . daenerys then orders her dragons to burn the slave masters ' ships ; tilting the negotiating table in her favor . meanwhile , grey worm executes razdal and belicho but spares yezzan to spread tidings of her power . daario leads the daenerys ' khalasar to slaughter the sons of the harpy ; ending the threat of the slave masters and their harpy allies .\nwhat remains is a rather odd \u201cangry black man\u201d meme \u2013 a bizarrely strewn , and possibly accidental , race commentary with black man danny glover seeking an almost irrational revenge on the evil \u201cwhite\u201d dragon , while his white crew grows more and more weary of his vengeance . with that in mind , the predictable conclusion of the tale leaves a bad taste in one ' s mouth , and draws to question whether age of the dragons might have been racist all along , likely ( hopefully ) accidentally .\nover in japan , a game called puzzle & dragons reigns supreme , so much so that as of april 2013 , it was the top grossing ios and android game in the world . now , the game has been downloaded around 25 million times , but while impressive , that number is a bit misleading . the majority of that figure originates from japan . as of november , the game has managed just two million downloads in north america , and at the time of writing is sitting at number 37 in the top grossing ios apps . while the top 37 out of the plethora of apps available on ios is no small feat , that\u2019s doesn\u2019t hold a candle to games you\u2019ve likely never heard of , such as doubledown casino ( 20 ) or castle age hd ( 13 ) . the relativity of popularity aside , why hasn\u2019t puzzle & dragons caught on in america when it is such a phenomenon elsewhere ?\nas aftermath of the conflict , the wheel of fire were effectively destroyed as nation and culture , the remains later joined the deep alliance .\nthere\u2019s more to it , too . the whole video explaining how dragons stop progress by nerdwriter below is really , really fun to geek out on .\nsuch phase of the conflict ended with the battle of ba -

up of his dominion over the barbarians and saving the northern hypatian land .\nalthough the specifics of mating rites and relationships vary from one kind of dragon to another , several commonalities exist . young dragons can mate , and might do so out of sheer biological urge\u2014or even , at times , for love\u2014but they are rarely prepared to rear young . they might abandon clutches of eggs wherever the eggs will have a decent chance of survival . few eggs left in this way survive\u2014and dragons that hatch from them might not learn to fend for themselves well enough before becoming prey .\nadam bradford , curse\u2019s product lead , explained that while resourceful gamers use plenty of home -

quarters of the dragons seen in the film will be of the pixels - and - bytes variety , digitally inserted into shots featuring their human co - stars . that makes\ndragon fire\na more pricey proposition than many locally made movies , though the budget is still nothing to compare to the tens of millions of dollars spent on a typical hollywood blockbuster .\nas for the nature of the content kennedy is writing , he said , \u201cwhat i can say is i have been given considerable autonomy to work on a storyline bit of lore which is well - segregated from other parts of the game . \u201d he added , \u201cit ' s nothing that grandiose , but it is distinct . it\u2019s a bit of lore which has not been addressed much to date in dragon age . \u201d\nthere are huge differences between all of that and what i ' m working on at bioware ,\nkennedy told eurogamer with a pause , adding\nwhich i can now legitimately say is in the dragon age franchise although it has been known for a while .\ndaenerys is increasingly referred to as the\ndragon queen\nas her exploits become more famous and the dragons grow , but this is a matter of common parlance and not a title she uses herself . [ 66 ]\ngiven the lack of any roman numerals in the title we had assumed this would be a semi - reboot of the franchise , especially after the reception for the last game . but it really is just dragon age iii in all but name , filled with fan - servicing cameos and a back story that goes largely unexplained unless you dig into it yourself or knew it already .\nsome ancients spend years hibernating or counting and recounting their hoards , for lack of anything better to do . others ignite conflict , invading other dragons\u2019 territories or inspiring mortal allies to go to war , in hopes of finding a challenge to pass the time . a few revert to behaviors of younger dragons , hunting and raiding at whim . some devote themselves fanatically to whatever religious beliefs they hold , or seek out new ones .\nalthough wyrmlings are small and weak by dragon standards , a wyrmling is roughly the size of a large wolf or a full - grown human . even at their youngest , dragons have few natural predators .\nthe u18s squad is for our best players at u18s age group . selection is made in early may after a trial process that takes nominations from development officers , u16s coaches , college coaches and through watching club and school rugby .\ndaenerys leads the remnants of her khalasar across the red waste , hoping to find shelter in the far lands of the east . she tries to feed her newborn dragons , but they refuse the raw meat she offers . she regards the dragons as her sons .

masters are all puppets of a dragon pulling strings behind the scenes , odds are good that the dragon is an elder . some dragons engage in such manipulative practices to siphon off the wealth of a city or small kingdom ; some do it out of desire for power and authority ; some are just bored .\nthe guerrins of ferelden : a genealogical history .\nthis book traces the line of arl eamon back to the time of the alamarri clans . it doesn ' t seem to have been read much .\nmost chromatic dragons do not desire a gradual decline , instead choosing to go out in the proverbial blaze of glory . they invade other dragons\u2019 territories , particularly those of lifelong rivals , prepared to end it all in a final , calamitous clash of fire and claw . others raze entire communities , challenging the greatest humanoid heroes to face them . invariably , a dragon with a death wish finds someone or something capable of killing it\u2014but the amount of destruction it can wreak in the process is on par with the worst of natural disasters . a single ancient dragon with nothing to lose and no concern for consequences or self - preservation can decimate kingdoms or render entire regions uninhabitable .\nsome time later , daenerys leads her armada to westeros . with the liberation of slaver ' s bay complete , daenerys sails the summer sea , her three dragons : drogon , rhaegal and viserion fly over the her assembled armada , composed of the horde of dothraki , ironborn , dornishmen , reachmen , and unsullied fleet of house targaryen . daenerys , clad in targaryen black , stands on the deck of the flagship with tyrion , missandei , and varys , looking ahead to either the gift of a new ally , or another massive war within house targaryen for the iron throne .\nthe coming of dragons starts off on a ship about to go down in a violent storm . one of the main characters named edmund comes on deck before it crashes and sees a strange creature moving through the sky breathing fire . edmund is the son of the king of sussex and is traveling in secret to his uncle for his father is away from the kingdom and his mother fears for the family line . the boat crashes but edmund is luckily saved the second main character , the ship captains daughter , named elspeth who h\nthe king is dead , the greyjoys are in open rebellion , a wildling army marches on the wall , and in the east a targaryen girl has three dragons . before long , she will turn her eyes to westeros .\nvinnie jones was there , because he ' ll apparently appear in anything ? he ' s like the modern -

now that your brain has adjusted to conditions at sea as ' normal ' you may need another period of adjustment when you disembark and return to firm ground . the ' drunken sailor walk ' is a common sight amongst those returning from a cruise , and fortunately for most people it is short lived ( no more than 24 hours ) . however , a few people will have trouble readjusting to life on land , and experience more prolonged land sickness ( in other words ' reverse sea sickness ' ) . medically this is known as mdds (\ni ' ve had times where i get\nland sick\nso bad that i ' m about to barff on the docks . but back on the boat i ' m fine . . .\nwe are very proud of our rum . there . we said it . it is distilled in small batches using american cane sugar . the result is a classic puerto rican style rum\u2014smokey , rich , spicy\u2014perfect for making mojitos , daiquiris , caipirissima ( same as caipirinhas but made with silver rum ) or classic cuba libres ( rum and coke ) . although , if you asked us , as with all our spirits , land legs is delish just on its own .\n. . . we ' ve been back since sunday , it ' s now friday and all of us are still feeling a bit wobbly , it gets better by the day , but we had no idea that getting your sea legs meant giving up your land legs as much as we have . . . . . . how long does it usually take ? by the way , we ' re all first timers , so we don ' t have any previous experience to draw upon . . . . . . thanks . . . cheers , the imagineers ncl cruise on the wind - aug 27 / 06 , it was great , i ' ll miss the wind . upcoming oceania cruise on the insignia - apr 28 / 07\ni have some good news though ; i think my land legs are slowly coming back . i don ' t feel it much today . every once in awhile i feel some movement , but for the most part i think it ' s going away . it has been exactly a week ago today that i got off the ship , so i guess that ' s not as bad as it could have been . thanks to all of you for the tips ! i ' m just glad i wasn ' t the only one .\nchazelle\u2019s first film , guy and madeline on a park bench , stars a jazz trumpeter . his second film , whiplash , stars miles teller as an ambitious drummer who\u2019s obsessed with jazz . his third , la la land , stars ryan gosling as a man who wants to resuscitate jazz music in los angeles like it\u2019s bessie smith slowly gasping her last breaths outside a mississippi \u201cwhites only\u201d hospital . gosling isn\u2019t just obsessed with jazz , he\u2019s convinced that the genre is on its last legs and it\u2019s his sole purpose in life to restore it to glory .\nseriously , tho . . . . i have pretty much lost the feeling , just a little unsteadiness every once in a while . and it ' s been alomost a whole week ! the bonine may be the ticket . . . . my one friend on the cruise took bonine , and never had\nland legs\n. . . . her boyfriend didn ' t take it , and he ' s still swaying a little too . i didn ' t take it either . try it . . . . after you do an ept , that is ! !\nwhen you get back to land , your brain still has these senses decoupled , and these independent , multiple sensory attacks can once again lead to conflicting interpretations . it is this conflict of interpretation ( tetris effect ? ) that feels like a rocking motion .\ndepending on how long you are aboard and in what conditions , it can take days or a week or two to adjust back to land . when we moved off the boat for a while this past fall , it took about a week , i think .\nunfortunately , getting your sea legs on one trip doesn ' t guarantee that your problems with sea sickness are over . the tolerance that you have developed is likely to be for the unique movements of that particular boat or ship . so unless your next trip is on the same , or very similar , vessel , your brain is likely to need another period of readjustment . this means that you will probably have to earn your sea legs anew on each trip . at least the time required for this adjustment is likely to be shorter than last time , and many people do report that their symptoms become less and less severe with increased exposure to boats and ships .\nthe wayward side effect of casting gosling as this jazz whisperer is that la la land becomes a trojan horse white - savior film . much like matt damon with ancient china in the great wall or tom cruise in the last samurai , in la la land , the fate of a minority group depends on the efforts of a well - intentioned white man : gosling ' s character wants to play freestyle jazz instead of the christmas jingles he\u2019s been hired to perform because , damn it , if the people can\u2019t hear real jazz , then it\u2019s going to cease to exist .\nthat is what we around here call pcd : post cruise depression when we went on ncl dawn last year , i was holding onto walls while walking down the hallway for days . it didn ' t completely go away for 6 weeks ! ! ! i have vertigo so i ' m sure that compounded it . it ' s funny , though , it was completely gone after i booked another cruise . . . . . . hmmmmmm . . . . seriously though , some folks say to take an anti - motions sickness med to help get your land legs back . others will say book another cruise ( like me ! ! ! ) anyway , happy sailing !\nflying a drone in a civil environment with clear skies can eventually take a toll on a drone . but flying a drone in less than desirable weather such a storm with strong winds can greatly impact the life expectancy of this life - saving hardware . this became evident when a bad landing caused one of the landing legs of the drone to break rendering it useless ! although a factory manufactured replacement leg is cheap , only costing a few bucks , the material is a relatively flimsy plastic which would most likely break during the next bad landing . so , the carova land rescue team and the carova sea rescue team got together and decided we could make a drone leg better than the original .\ni certainly have mdds as well after living aboard for years . last winter on land , i noticed my sense of balance was off . it always felt like i was walking around on the boat . however ( luckily ) , once i started moving in any way other than walking , my balance was fine . so fortunately , my snowboarding wasn ' t affected !\ni took natural dramamine with ginger in it and i had a couple alcohol shots while i was on my cruise , but now i ' m here on land for 4 days and still feel like i feel the emotion of the boat rocking back and forth . that ' s what i feel like when i am walking . have i done something wrong by mixing the two things ?\n. . . . in mdds , the symptoms * may persist for a month ( or more ) , and possibly many years . this differs from the very common condition of\nland sickness\n( sea legs ) that most people feel for a short time after a motion event such as a boat cruise . * the symptoms most frequently reported include : a persistent sensation of motion usually described as rocking , swaying , or bobbing ; difficulty maintaining balance ; extreme fatigue ; difficulty concentrating (\nbrain fog\n) ; dizziness , headaches and / or migraine headaches , confusion , and anxiety . many patients also describe ear symptoms such as hyperacusis , tinnitus ,\nfullness\n, pain , or even decreased hearing . cognitive impairment (\nbrain fog\n) includes an inability to recall words , short term memory loss , and an inability to multi - task .\nthe way you move also can help you prevent knee injuries . if your sport involves a lot of jumping , make sure to bend your knees when you land , which takes pressure off of the acl . do you have to cut laterally or pivot frequently in your sport ? use your joints to crouch and bend at the knees and hips , reducing your chance of a ligament injury .\ndamien chazelle likes jazz music . but more than blaming his musical obsession for la la land , i suppose i can blame carl van vechten . it is , after all , van vechten ' s 1926 novel nigger heaven that fueled white interest in the harlem renaissance and led to the gentrification of the neighborhood\u2019s nightclubs and brownstones . white interest in harlem and jazz music became widespread and likely indirectly led to chazelle\u2019s father\u2019s interest in jazz . after a november screening of la la land , chazelle regaled a crowd at the chateau marmont with a story about how his father influenced his love for the genre : \u201che was a jazz obsessive and made sure that i listened to it . . . . i love jazz and i grew up playing jazz drums , so it\u2019s always been the music i\u2019ve felt most connected to . \u201d\ni don ' t usually have a problem adjusting to being back on land - what i do have a problem adjusting to is having to get my wallet out each time i buiy something . a person gets used to just signing their name ! i still remember my first cruise , getting off the ship , arriving at the airport , buying a candy bar - and it took me a full minute to realize the clerk wanted money ! boy was my face red ! ! ! made me want to get back on the ship !\nit certainly varies for me - - some times i feel the land rocking for days , and other times not at all . i kind of like it , since if i close my eyes i get to pretend i ' m back on the boat ( although i do remember waking up in a hotel bed in honolulu , holding the edge of the mattress in a death - grip and convinced that i was about to be pitched onto the floor ) . what is strange to me is that after a long passage i sometimes feel completely solid once on shore , but then motion starts up a day or two later .\ni took me a good 5 - 6 days to lose that feeling of the motion of the ocean . however , i wore the patch when i was on the ship , and took it off the second we were on land . i have since been told that it is best to leave it on for a few days so that the medicine can slowly leave your system as the patch loses effectiveness . some people wind up taking a bonine , dramamine , gravol or meclazine just to get rid of the wooziness . it will definitely disappear , but once it does , you know it is time to start looking for another cruise ! ! !\non our first cruise , i didn ' t feel any after effects . on the second one , i had that feeling for a day . it seems to get last longer after each subsequent cruise . after our last trans , it wasn ' t completely gone for about 2 - 3 months . toward the end of the time , the feeling comes and goes . i love the rocking motion of the ship and am not ill at all . since i am naturally clumsy on land and seem to be perfectly okay on the ship , hubby insists that my equilibrium is normally off - kilter so that on the ship with the swaying i am normal .\nnext , the two boxes are seperated and the object is removed . because the casting sand is sticky and will retain its shape , when the two box are brought back together a hollow cavity exist in the shape of the object we will cast . pour holes and vent holes are made and molten hot aluminium is poured into the pour hole and fills up the cavity . once the aluminium cools and hardens the aluminium can be safely removed from the sand . if all goes well then the new cast should be nearly identical to the original . many thanks to joe cloonan from the sea rescue team for his knowledge and casting skills ! ! as it turned out , land & sea rescue teams did quite an impressive job \ud83d\ude42\nfreeze : gather players in the shallow end of the pool . define the boundaries of play so that everyone can stand up in the water . adults should play on their knees ! one person is designated as the\nit .\nat the sound of the whistle ,\nit\nhas one minute to tag as many other players as he can . once a person is tagged , that player must stand still ( freeze ) and raise his hand . before a frozen player can return to action , an unfrozen player must thaw him out by submerging and swimming through his legs . a player cannot be tagged and frozen if he is underwater . at the end of the minute , blow the whistle and designate an unfrozen player as\nit .\nkeep this game going until everyone has had a chance to be\nit .\nthe winner is whoever has the most frozen players at the end of his stint as\nit .\ni ' ve had times where i get\nland sick\nso bad that i ' m about to barff on the docks but back on the boat , i ' m fine . . . the wife says its\npay - back\ntime for laughing at her while she had her head over the side . . she used to feel bad for being sick the first day out on a long trip but we stopped into the west marine ' s book store , in sausalito , a couple years ago and while talking to the woman who ran the place , the woman told her to be grateful as when she went out for a long passage , she was sick for the first five days . the wife dosen ' t feel so bad anymore . . . . . .\nif this sounds exceptionally nitpicky , my gripe certainly isn\u2019t eating me alive in a season populated by such great films as moonlight , hidden figures , and fences . but you should also know that la la land opens with a stunning and visually masterful dance sequence sung by an incredibly diverse group of los angeles denizens \u2014 but after the song concludes , we immediately cut to stone in her car on the way to an audition and her love story with gosling begins when he honks his horn at her on the freeway . those people of color who gave it their all in the opening sequence , perhaps to remind oscar voters of that hamilton musical they love so much , are quickly whisked away so the caucasian sing - along can begin . it\u2019s hard to be upset when the whiplash ( yeah , whiplash ) is so immediate . frankly , it\u2019s fucking hilarious .\nchazelle\u2019s aforementioned first film , guy and madeline on a park bench , actually stars a black man ( jason palmer ) and a latina woman ( desiree garcia ) . but that was the debut indie film of a harvard graduate , not a studio film with a $ 30 million budget . why tell the story more authentically when you can just try to recreate gosling and stone\u2019s film chemistry ( presumably from crazy , stupid , love and not the flop gangster squad ) ? according to variety , chazelle spoke to michael b . jordan about portraying gosling\u2019s role at one point , but that possibility imagines lionsgate either producing an oscar - contending film about two black people struggling through the world of jazz music rather than slavery or jordan courting a white actress for a modern update of save the last dance . both scenarios seem implausible . an advertisement for van vechten\u2019s 1926 novel in the new yorker once asked , \u201cwhy go to harlem cabarets when you can read nigger heaven ? \u201d perhaps now you could just watch la la land .\nupdate , 1 : 20 pm pt : alfonso cuaron \u2019s jury for the 72nd venice film festival spread out its prizes across several well - received titles tonight , but it also shut out some performances and critical favorites which had been among the most discussed . what\u2019s more , it made history by giving the first golden lion ever to a latin american film .\nthat drama , from afar ( desde alla ) , is also the first feature by helmer lorenzo vigas and the first ever venice entry from venezuela . the plot centers on a wealthy middle - aged man who falls for a street thug , changing both their lives . it\u2019s based on a story by 21 grams writer guillermo arriaga .\ncoming into the fest , chief alberto barbera had told me that latin america was \u201c one of the most interesting areas from the point of view of emerging talent . \u201d it was also well - represented in the awards with argentina\u2019s pablo trapero taking the best director silver bear for el clan . the film , about the murderous , kidnapping puccio family of the 1980s , has been a box office smash at home for fox international productions which also has u . s .\nin a post - ceremony news conference tonight , cuaron rejected a suggestion that his mexican heritage may have been an influence on the outcome of the jury\u2019s deliberations . \u201ci have as much sway as the king or queen of sweden . my role is more representative than anything else . even if i had wanted ( to support latin america ) it would have been a bigger conspiracy and i would have had to share the money , \u201d he joked .\ndespite widespread praise throughout the fest , the folks that didn\u2019t get lido callbacks for tonight\u2019s awards ceremony included the danish girl \u2018s eddie redmayne and alicia vikander ; along with a bigger splash \u2018s ralph fiennes . cuaron said of the jury\u2019s choices in general , \u201cthis is not a testament of a universal truth . this is just this decision of this group of people . you know if you put the same films with a different group of people , you would have a different result . an award doesn\u2019t prove much . the only thing that proves something is time and history . \u201d\nit might be worth remembering that birdman and michael keaton left the lido empty - handed last year .\namong the popular choices that did take a nod was charlie kaufman and duke johnson\u2019s stop - motion brainteaser anomalisa which scooped the grand jury prize . the existential musing is one of the hot acquisition titles in toronto and scored a huge round of applause from the press corps when its name was called here tonight .\nalso getting his fair share of applause was abraham attah , the beasts of no nation star who won the best new young actor award . in the film , netflix\u2019s first major feature attempt at awards season glory , attah plays the child soldier recruited by idris elba\u2019s warlord . in a press conference last week he was clearly shy in communicating with reporters . tonight on stage , he seemed far more polished , thanking the festival , the jury , the producers , his fellow actors , elba and netflix .\nfrench veteran fabrice luchini was named best actor for l\u2019hermine , which also took best screenplay . italy\u2019s own valeria golino was best actress for giuseppe gaudino\u2019s per amor vostro , a drama about a neopolitan woman struggling to overcome depression .\na standout in the horizons section was brady corbet\u2019s the childhood of a leader . corbet has been a longtime actor and this is his debut feature as helmer . the drama took the best first film prize as well as best director after falling apart several times in production and leading him to near despair , he said . he\u2019d already been back in upstate new york yesterday when he go the call to come back \u2014 looks like the trip was worth it .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\nurltoken unabridged based on the random house unabridged dictionary , \u00a9 random house , inc . 2018\nsometimes it depends on your length of your cruise . with us it usually takes 3 to 5 days to totally forget you aren ' t on the ship anymore . have a great next cruise .\n* 3rd time is not a charm . . . 5th time is ! *\nthe effects are different for every person . i get it after every cruise , even with very smooth ocean conditions . i just continue taking dramamine for a week after i return home . it ' s your inner ear readjusting to the lack of motion after having adjusted to the motion of the sea . i ' m the only one in my family who gets it . while some think it ' s not a big deal , it is very bothersome for me , it ' s not fun at all .\ni think it also has to do with the length of the cruise . my first 2 cruises were very short ( first one we missed the boat . . . caught up to the boat on the last day of a 3 night cruise 2nd cruise was to nowhere . . only 2 nights . . . . felt fine afterwards . . . 3rd cruise 4 nights to key west and cozumel . . . . was holding on to walls for 3 -

d stands out so strongly . a movie intended for the summer season , when the purest escapism is expected from the widest audience , offers the greatest difficulties for a potential adaptation . however , journey to the center of the earth 3 -

- the deeper the explorers go , the farther they travel into the past . journey to the center of the earth remains squarely within modern definitions of the science fiction genre , retaining all of the compelling originality and imagination , and does not have the aura of science fiction set in the past that now sometimes seems to date verne\u2019s novels , such as twenty thousand leagues under the seas or from the earth to the moon and around the moon . the \u201cprophecy\u201d of submarines and moon travel has been fulfilled -

[ 16 ] journey to the center of the earth becomes utterly incoherent as the focus shifts to an atlantis in the center of the earth , meant as a funky in - joke that is utterly bizarre and unfunny . the city is presented as a big - brother metropolis most reminiscent of george orwell\u2019s novel , 1984 .\ndescending , they arrive at an abandoned mine shaft , board its rail . the subsequent roller - coaster style ride aboard a mine car is both reminiscent of tokyo disneysea\u2019s \u201cjourney to the center of the earth\u201d and a blueprint for possible rides in the future . [ 30 ] the tokyo ride devoted to the novel , like this part of the journey to the center of the earth 3 - d , depicts a mine excursion into one amazing underground world of colors and monsters conceived by verne , and it is this the film references , not , as some critics have suggested , indiana jones and the temple of doom . the filmmakers are recognizing that audiences may be as familiar with the 1959 film , the tokyo disney ride , as much as the original novel . [ 31 ]\nevery adaptation was aimed at fundamentally different audiences . worldwide mainstream viewers were the objective of the 1910 , 1959 , and 2008 3 - d movies . youthful filmgoers were the target in more specialized venues like where time began and journey to the center of the earth 3 - d , with children for the animated versions and wishbone : hot diggety dawg .\nthe actors get somewhat ragged as they spend months traveling towards the center of the earth . but all of them are quite well shaven and their hair seems to never grow .\na 1996 canadian animated version , journey to the center of the earth , clearly reflected an enormous debt to the 1959 movie , while adding fresh permutations of its own . directed by laura shepherd , it ran approximately 40 minutes and was produced by phoenix animation studios for blye mijicovsky productions , but had only very limited showings through catalyst distribution , inc .\n( 1959 ) , a big - budget , family - friendly film with\nsomething for everyone\nand a generous helping of visual treats . as with the best adaptations of verne ,\nback on the surface , the children are fascinated with a gold medallion that wishbone has dug up . returning to the story of journey to the center of the earth , the discovery leads to an underground river inside the rocks , to relieve the explorer\u2019s thirst . the explorers are thrown out of the volcano in italy when the family accidentally digs into a water pipe .\nviaje al centro de la tierra / jules verne\u2019s fabulous journey to the center of the earth / where time began producer - director : juan piquer simon distributor : international picture show ( u . s . ) year : 1977\na exciting , but boring . journey to the center , become very silly . even henry levin ' s direction saves this sci - fi success .\nyears ago , i worked in the film industry and for a while as a publicis for 20th century fox , boone\u2019s home studio . i fondly remember working at my very first real job as the assistant manager of the alex theatre in glendale , california , where journey to the center of the earth played first run .\nthe latest twilight time blu - ray presents the best version , particularly in the video department , of the film with all the lush colors you\u2019d want in the center of the earth . there\u2019s also the requisite isolated soundtrack , audio commentary with diane baker and film historians steven c . smith and nick redman , and the trailer .\nthe war of the worlds ( 1953 ) this film was the winner of the best achievement in special effects academy award , by producer george pal , for its vivid depiction of the invasion of the earth by martians .\nthere were some problems i found in journey to the center of the earth i think casablanca is a great film and most people i talk to seem to agree . but the truth is that there is a lot in that film that makes little sense . there was no such thing historically as\nletters of transit\nand certainly nothing that the gestapo would accept . and absolutely nothing that the germans were not allowed to even question . later in the film when the letters are actually used they seem to be barely examined . some films just seem to click and you accept them even with their problems . and as for rick and louis walking off into the fog at the end , where do you find fog in the moroccan desert ? still we just accept it because it is a good film . that is how i feel about journey to the center of the earth .\nduring the first few years of the 21 st century , new versions of journey to the center of the earth continued to be announced but remained unproduced . finally , in 2007 , a new big budget version was made , journey to the center of the earth 3 - d , and as so often happens , simultaneously two lower budget renditions of the same story were made to cash in on the former\u2019s anticipated popularity , one by robert halmi for television , and another direct - to - video by the asylum . halmi\u2019s appeared first , and like his 2005 version of mysterious island , the filmmakers did not return to the novel , but chose instead to remake an earlier adaptation .\nnot very much here that could be directly considered\nlovecraftian\n, but there is a sunken atlantis hidden in a hollow earth , and this is among the better hollow earth movies ever made , with some of the most striking hollow earth imagery to have ever been put to film . . . .\nthe day the earth stood still ( 1951 ) this classic science - fiction film featured state - of - the - art visual effects and seamless model miniatures .\nin journey to the center of the earth 3 - d , all the vital motifs , characters , and themes of verne\u2019s novel are retained , as far as possible in the format of a summer \u201cthrill ride\u201d movie . episodes are either replaced or approximated within the script\u2019s new narrative . the major change is to have the journey take place over days , rather than weeks , with a running time of 92 minutes .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nbased on jules verne ' s 1864 science - fiction novel , this henry levin - directed fun adventure - fantasy film had fake looking ( and now dated ) special effects , although they were still effective . it was remade as journey to the center of the earth ( 1993 ) , starring brendan fraser .\ncinema scope mag for film reviews , criticism news & comments . one of the most respected publications on film , uniting experienced critics with new writers .\n[ 18 ] . billy aronson , a journey to the center of the earth , \u201cwishbone classics\u201d series ( new york : harper , 1996 ) . although tied in with the wishbone series , this book actually retold the original verne story , rather than the television episode . by contrast , michael anthony steele , digging to the center of the earth , \u201cthe adventures of wishbone\u201d series ( allen , tx : big red chair books , 1999 ) , followed the outline of the television episode hot diggety dawg .\nprof . lindenbrook leads his intrepid party on an expedition to the center of the earth , via a volcano in iceland , encountering all manner of prehistoric monsters and life - threatening hazards on the way .\na summer film almost dictates a contemporary setting . the question then becomes how to re - tell the story within that requirement\u2014or to abandon it altogether , as the asylum had done . director eric brevig himself had changed the initial 19 th century setting of the script of journey to the center of the earth 3 - d , believing it needed to concentrate on the book\u2019s highlights , to appeal to modern audiences . [ 22 ] he hoped to get away from some of the elements that make the book unlikely from a scientific standpoint to modern audiences , and to avoid the feel of a remake . [ 23 ]\nthe asylum is known for producing films from public domain stories , and with titles reminiscent of big budget productions offered by major studios , so it is not surprising for them to join the verne bandwagon ; in 2007 they had released an updated version of twenty thousand leagues under the seas entitled 30 , 000 leagues under the sea . as weak as their journey to the center of the earth is , it is vastly superior simply as entertainment to 30 , 000 leagues under the sea . while the latter actually had more in common with verne , it was such a disservice to his premise that a film like journey to the center of the earth that simply abandons the author altogether ( except in name only ) deserves less opprobrium .\nevery version of journey to the center of the earth has demonstrated the ever - increasing intertextuality of these adaptations . the films increasingly reflect not only the novel , and an attempt at adaptation , but more and more frequently are equally influenced by previous films of the story . whether adding to the youthful mix of the underground explorers or finding atlantis , films expand the original vernian \u201ctext\u201d to include new elements . so many of these verne productions have now been made and are repeated endlessly on television that he has been initially encountered through screen renderings by most of the last two generations of audiences , making such adaptations a defining experience in the discovery of this author . journey to the center of the earth 3 - d demonstrates how this has progressed to the point where it is possible to simultaneously craft a film which serves at one and the same moment as a pastiche and adaptation .\nwhile decades may have passed since the peak of boone\u2019s career as a hit singer ( second in sales only to elvis back then ) tv variety show host and movie star , he vividly remembers making journey to the center of the earth , in which he co - starred with james mason and arlene dahl .\nit may well be second to king kong ( 1933 ) as the film i have seen the greatest number of times .\n\u201c journey to the center of the earth may have saved 20th century fox , \u201d boone said , \u201cthe studio was in danger of being bankrupted by the filming of cleopatra until journey became a solid box office hit . it definitely ranks as one of the true adventure classics that had a profound influence on many future filmmakers , such as steven spielberg and george lucas . brendon fraser , eat your heart out . \u201d\nlong ago , a lone explorer named arne saknussemm made a fantastic descent to the fabled lost kingdom of atlantis at the earth\u2019s core . after many centuries , his trail was discovered , first by me , professor oliver lindenbrook , my niece cindy , student alec mckuen , our guide lars and his duck gertrude . but we were not alone . the evil count saknussemm , last descendant of the once noble saknussemm family , had followed us , to claim the center of the earth for his power - mad schemes . he ordered his brute - like servant torg to destroy our party . but the plan backfired , sealing the entrance forever . and so for us began a desperate race to the earth\u2019s core , to learn the secret of the way back . this is the story of our new journey to the center of the earth .\nunfortunately , at the last minute journey to the center of the earth 3 - d has had to drop 3 - d from the title in many screenings , owing to a lack of theaters ready for the new systems . it had already been held back for a full year precisely because not enough theaters were equipped for it . having been made on a relatively modest budget of $ 54 million ( with ten weeks of principal photography , in montreal ) , journey to the center of the earth 3 - d could not open in 3 - d in all theaters . this required simultaneous release in many theaters with only \u201cflat\u201d prints , lacking the 3 - d .\nthe film featured man - eating tsavo lions leaping toward the camera and flying spears thrown out of the screen .\non february 28 , 1993 , nbc premiered a new two - hour television movie pilot entitled journey to the center of the earth , which had even less relation to the novel than the cannon duo . a nuclear - powered craft descends into the shaft of an active volcano , but becomes trapped as it explores the world underground on a quest for the knowledge of atlantis .\none of the cryptograms in max\u2019s copy of journey to the center of the earth leads to the asgeirsson institute of volcanolgy in iceland , where trevor and sean meet the late asgeirsson\u2019s daughter hannah ( anita briem ) . she explains that her father was a vernian\u2014one of a small group who believed that what the author wrote was , indeed , fact , and hetzel editions can be seen on the book shelves .\nprof . lindenbrook leads his intrepid party on an expedition to the center of the earth , via a volcano in iceland , encountering all manner of prehistoric monsters and life -

production to accomplish all of the death scenes . but the movie needs a lot more than that to save it . it\u2019s an admirable attempt and it\u2019s nice that they got their small place in history with the world record , but otherwise the summer of massacre is just another bad movie .\nthe dublin review of books is pleased to present a handsome book of over 500 pages celebrating some of the finest writing from its first ten years .\ni usually like to go into movies without knowing a lot about them \u2013 preferring just enough to know whether i will actually be interested in watching it . sometimes , however , this backfires . i put in the dvd for the summer of massacre , not knowing anything about it but going in with the feeling that the title was kind of corny . within five minutes of the movie i had a feeling i was in for a very\u2026interesting ride . i tried to like this movie , i really did . i wanted to like it . i wanted to be able to say that this was awesome\u2026but i can\u2019t .\n' the summer of massacre ' is an absolutely atrocious film . the directing , acting , and visual effects are all nearly incompetent . i admire the filmmakers ' passion and the independent spirit of the production , but those factors can ' t make up for the finished product ' s lofty flaws . the video and audio are both pretty bad , suffering from budgetary and technical problems . supplements are decent , giving viewers a peek at the director ' s enthusiasm and hard work . though i tried , i really couldn ' t find anything to like about the movie , and with its lackluster technical presentation , this really is a disc to avoid .\nwhen i went to make my first film , house of 1000 corpses , i didn ' t consciously think it at the time at all\u2014we were just making the movie\u2014but when i look back on it , i think , ' that is exactly the product of someone obsessed with the texas chainsaw massacre and the rocky horror picture show . and somehow , in his mind , he put them together in a blender , '\nzombie says .\nbut when i went to make my second film , the devil ' s rejects , it was really the quality of those ' 70s movies like the texas chainsaw massacre that i was trying to emulate .\nby late 1965 , the story had acquired a new title , the massacre of st bartholomew ' s eve -

director alexandre aja , whose own horror moviemaking resume includes high tension , a remake of the hills have eyes , and this month ' s horns , starring daniel radcliffe .\nwith maybe the exception of deliverance and the last house on the left , i cannot see any other movie that has that kind of impact on the viewer .\none of the most amazing tricks in filmmaking in the [ horror ] genre is the fact that when you really look at the movie , you realize there is almost no blood or graphic violence onscreen ,\naja says .\nit ' s the editing , the rawness , the craziness of what you see that makes the experience so intense . your mind creates what you don ' t see in the movie and fills in the gaps to see all the ' massacre ' that hooper doesn ' t actually show onscreen .\n\u2026on the eve of the feast day of st . bartholomew , and several thousand more perished in massacres in provincial cities . this notorious episode was the signal for the fifth civil war , which ended in 1576 with the peace of monsieur , allowing the huguenots freedom of worship outside paris . opposition to\u2026\nin a brighter summer day , he doesn\u2019t bother to explain the different gangs and their backgrounds ; he simply uses the expressions of the actors to hint that some are the children of military families and some are the children of civil servants . this is a distinction that foreign audiences and even taiwanese viewers who did not live through that era would have a tough time ascertaining . but it wasn\u2019t our goal to give the viewer a thorough explanation of each and every character ; as long as they were compelling , that was enough for us .\nas the summer progressed , wiles and tosh realised they had a problem on their hands with regard to the doctor ' s female companion . they had decided to dispense with vicki and replace her with trojan handmaiden katarina , only to realise that that character ' s primitive origins made her less than ideal for viewer identification . they therefore elected to kill off katarina in the serial which would precede \u201cthe war of god\u201d , the daleks ' master plan . as a result , it appears that lucarotti was asked to incorporate a new companion , young protestant maid anne chaplet , into his scripts . anne would escape the huguenot massacre by joining the doctor and steven in the tardis .\nafter punching out the police chief ' s mentally challenged brother , an effete tough guy , caesar , is on the run . together , he and his slovenly half brother , otto , take on new identities as counselors at the strangely vacant camp sunsmile . the would -

picture memorabilia . it ' s a chance for audiences to revisit the political underpinnings that led to the film ' s creation in the first place . though it ' s easy to think of the film as a straight - up horror movie , the texas chainsaw massacre also belongs to the new hollywood movement that was happening during the 1970s , an era when films were being influenced by the pervasive disillusionment resulting from events like watergate and the vietnam war .\non august 18 , 1572 , catherine\u2019s daughter , margaret of france ( marguerite de valois ) , was married to the huguenot henry of navarre ( the future henry iv of france ) , and a large part of the huguenot nobility came to paris for the wedding . the attempt on admiral coligny\u2019s life four days later failed ; he was only wounded . to placate the angry huguenots , the government agreed to investigate the assassination attempt . fearing discovery of her complicity , catherine met secretly with a group of nobles at the tuileries palace to plot the complete extermination of the huguenot leaders , who were still in paris for the wedding festivities . charles was persuaded to approve of the scheme , and , on the night of august 23 , members of the paris municipality were called to the louvre and given their orders .\nthe veteran actor shares lessons she\u2019s learned from working with some of the world\u2019s greatest filmmakers .\nwere nice enough to give my faithful readers of aicn horror a sneak preview of the first episode . on the 31st , the first episode will be free ; then the remainder of the 8 -

( indeed , hartnell had earlier suggested he could play the doctor ' s evil time travelling progeny in a story called \u201cthe son of doctor who\u201d ! ) this led to the creation of the abbot of amboise , named for the central french town which was the site of a 1560 huguenot conspiracy against the catholic house of guise .\nthe portrayal of pretty much every woman here is especially annoying . not only do each of them attempt to yodel their christina aguilera -

determine what we research and write about . we must also remain equally , if not more , concerned about what has changed and in recovering what has been lost .\nsuppose we are currently making the same mistake we made at the outset of this drama \u2014 suppose the dark crevices of the russia scandal run not just a little deeper but a lot deeper .\nin the opening days of the battle of the bulge , members of a waffen ss division executed 84 american prisoners of war near the belgian town of malmedy . after a long and painstaking investigation , the u . s . army tried and convicted 74 accused perpetrators , but a concerted effort to delegitimize and overturn the convictions immediately ushered in a decade of controversy over accusations that vengeance -

known figure\u201d . many of those who profoundly admire delacroix\u2019s work do so on the basis of their familiarity with paintings such as liberty storming the barricades , the death of sardanapalus , the women of algiers , a number of paintings of animals in frenzied action and portraits of friends such as chopin , george sand and paganini . few people take the trouble to trek around the great public spaces that hold his huge mural schemes . and since the latter do not reproduce well in books , knowledge of the artist\u2019s work is limited for the general art lover , even if his reputation is not disputed .\nthe film fleshes itself out by delving into the relations between the finnish , american , and russian soldiers , casting the american as the soldier less gung ho about working together . in a commanding performance , andrew tiernan stars as the most sensible ( and most badass ) of the soldiers and delivers a gruff and powerful performance as he hits all of the action beats with a lot of gristle as well as provides some soul to the quieter scenes in the film . given the backdrop of world war ii when this film is set , war of the dead does seem to want to make a statement about the fragility of international relations at the time and today , but doesn ' t let that get in the way of making some gripping scenes of battle and action with the unkillable dead .\nnot at all . i wrote the malmedy massacre because i had become fascinated by the post - trial controversy . the present moment was also very much on my mind . i believed we needed a more historically informed debate about both interrogation methods and military courts . another purpose was to contribute to what i would call the \u201cuntangling\u201d of modern german history . for several decades now , german , north american , and israeli scholars have\u2014often in the face of considerable resistance\u2014revealed the extent to which our understanding of nazi germany has been shaped by former nazis and their sympathizers . yet another aim was to call attention to a strain of german and american anti - semitism that became the lifeblood of the malmedy case controversy .\nson of the boogeyman a woman goes into the house in the neighborhood that is presumed to be the dwelling of the boogeyman , and is raped by a grotesque guy . later this guy strikes out to kill his offspring .\nclick here to check out my retro - reviews of friday the 13th and the stinky 2009 remake .\nthe defining lesson of this year\u2019s flop crop : there\u2019s no such thing as a sure thing . we\u2019ve watched studios incrementally move away from original , creator - driven projects seen as \u201crisky\u201d ( meanwhile , the first - time director jordan peele\u2019s get out is the most profitable film of the year , with a $ 175m payday on a measly $ 4 . 5m budget ) towards franchises and other projects ostensibly boasting built - in audiences through brand recognition . but this summer , audiences drew a line under what they\u2019ll buy into on simple merit of nostalgia or the sunk - time fallacy , and now the chickens of failure have come home to roost .\nfor those of you who like your horror with a heavy dose of action , adrenaline and ballz , i present to you war of the dead . though it lacks the scope of max brooks ' world war z , it incorporates a lot of the attention to military that occurs throughout that book and most likely will occur in the upcoming brad pitt production . war of the dead views like an episode of band of brothers with zombies as american , russian , and finnish soldiers attempt to work together in a battle where the nazi soldiers they are fighting simply will not have the decency to die .\nfolks and the participants in the contest . so below are the winners of the contest and their most frightening sounds , all fascinating reads and admittedly frightening .\nunhappy that two proposals had now been passed over by the doctor who production office after believing he had been guaranteed a commission by spooner , lucarotti involved his agents . to resolve the matter , tosh agreed to discuss a new storyline with lucarotti . drawing on wiles ' desire to make use of religious conflict in doctor who , it was apparently tosh who suggested the 1572 huguenot massacre as a potential setting . lucarotti was commissioned to write \u201cthe war of god\u201d on july 9th .\nin the malmedy massacre : the war crimes trial controversy , historian steven remy shows how the torture accusations were invented and disseminated by a network of american and german trial critics , including the accused soldiers , their aggrieved american defense attorney , army officials , prominent german clergymen , and a then - unknown american senator making his demagogic debut , joseph mccarthy . conspiratorial anti - semitism , a gullible american press , and ex - nazis and their sympathizers all contributed to our enduring misunderstanding of one of world war ii\u2019s most infamous crimes .\nalthough he had done some work on forthcoming stories , particularly the celestial toymaker , the massacre of st bartholomew ' s eve marked donald tosh ' s final doctor who credit . he went on to further writing and story editing , including sir arthur conan doyle ' s sherlock holmes . in 1967 , tosh submitted a proposal for a doctor who adventure entitled \u201cthe rosacrutians\u201d ( or \u201cthe rose marriners\u201d ) which was not taken forward . tosh left television in the mid - seventies to become the caretaker of st mawes castle in cornwall .\nthe question hansen is most often asked about the making of the film is :\nwas it fun ?\nhis stock answer ?\nnot a bit of it .\nthat the film was shot in texas in the middle of summer did not help .\ni think it was one side or the other of 100 degrees for almost all of the shooting ,\nhansen recalls .\nand it was central texas , which means it was quite humid . for me i think it was also bad because i wore a mask . and that mask was made out of latex . so even though i could breathe through it fine , it was tight up against my skin , so i was always soaking wet under it . and then i had a wool suit and wore wool trousers the whole time .\nin early december , jackie lane was cast as dodo . lane , who sometimes acted under the name \u201cjackie lenya\u201d , had appeared in programmes including coronation street and compact , as well as in theatre . in the summer of 1963 , lane had turned down the opportunity to play another companion , susan ; at the time she was not interested in taking on a long - term assignment . on december 29th , lane was contracted to play dodo for thirteen episodes ( encompassing the final part of the massacre as well as serials x , y and z ) , with an option for twelve more . wiles hoped that dodo could be made distinctive by having lane ' s long hair styled differently in every story . this plan had to be scuppered , however , when lane opted for a very short haircut soon after passing her audition .\ni think that whole scene was the most intense part of the movie and all of us were slightly insane by then .\n\u2014gunnar hansen ( leatherface )\njust before the release of her new film you were never really here , lynne ramsay spoke with us about her early moviegoing life in glasgow , the version of herself that emerges on set , and the mind - expanding power of chess .\nmost significantly , wiles and tosh eventually realised that adopting anne as an ongoing character would present many of the same difficulties as katarina . tosh therefore rewrote the ending to have anne remain in france and included a new coda to the story , set in modern - day england . this introduced dorothea \u201cdodo\u201d chaplet , by implication a descendant of anne ' s ( which meant that she somehow escaped the massacre ) . dodo - - a character devised by wiles and tosh - - would now be the doctor ' s new companion . upon learning of the extent of tosh ' s changes , lucarotti asked that his name be removed from the credits ; this request was ultimately rescinded .\nin the wake of two back -

oriented tale .\ni think one of the major problems i had with this film is that it killed off one of the coolest characters in the series . crazy ralph ( walt gorney ) may have been made fun of when he warned the campers that \u201ccamp crystal lake has a death curse ! \u201d but it made for some of the most memorable scenes in the early parts of the series . killing off ralph in this one might have added to the body count , but it took out one of the characters that could have made for some nice continuity from one movie to the next and offered some of the local flavor as well . what did ralph know about the lake ? what made him crazy ? we\u2019ll never know .\nthe scariest sound i ' ve ever heard was last year , when i was lying in my bed reading when i heard the movement of something in the walls of my room . on its own this would not be that bad but i was right in the middle of reading hp lovecraft\u2019s\nthe rats in the wall\nand as i neared the end of the story the movement i heard in the walls got more and more frantic to the point where i left my house and crashed on my friends couch .\nit\u2019s the continuity that makes the first few friday the 13th\u2019s so special . the latter films forgot all of that . this one began where the first ended ; acknowledging the history that was just building . it made you want to seek out the original and watch it back to back . sure the storyline is almost identical , but the evolution of the killer from pamela voorhees to her son in this one felt like parts of a bigger story .\ndelta airlines was the first to end its sponsorship , announcing yesterday that it would no longer be\nthe official airline of the public theater ,\nthe organization that produces shakespeare in the park .\nhe feared that the threshold for \u2018acceptable service\u2019 may be something like receiving signal 90 per cent of the time which the service may reach , the issue being that the 10 per cent the stations are offline are peak viewing times .\nthe second chapter is lovingly referred to as lump . laurie ( laid to rest\u2019s nick principe in a role that some may consider offensive ) is a deformed , mentally challenged paraplegic on experimental steroids in an effort to treat her spina bifida . she is on the brink of death , but her bitch of a sister , kimberly ann ( lisa m . garcia ) , decides to speed up the process . while out in the woods with a group of friends , kimberly pushes the laurie\u2019s wheelchair off a cliff . the only problem is that laurie won\u2019t die . in fact , she can walk now , and she wants revenge . brinke stevens ( the slumber party massacre ) cameos as the girls\u2019 mother .\nfun fact : hooper deliberately limited the amount of onscreen violence in ( dashed ) hopes of getting a pg rating .

directed bride of frankenstein waiting in the wings and more movies in the works , universal seems to be counting on this thing working out .\nthe mummy has been released and the dark universe is here . a new 21st century take on the beloved universal monsters from the 1930s and ' 40s , this is something fans have either anticipated or feared , but as it ' s here , we explore what it will transform into next .\nnear the end of the film , judy lawson fires a single -

known genre writers in the world . while king is known as a horror writer , having written classics like carrie and the shining , he\u2019s more than that : he experiments with epic fantasy , horror , and science fiction . the dark tower , as a series , is a bit of a mash - up of all those genres , and it\u2019s a series he considers his magnum opus .\nthe next and only officially slated dark universe movie is a remake of the crown jewel in universal monsters canon : bride of frankenstein . the original was released in 1935 and still remains as one of the few truly breathtaking examples of a horror sequel that builds on what came before and makes its own wonderful achievement .\nthat appears to be the logic coming from the programming wizards at universal studios . the film production company took the ( mummy ) wraps off its\ndark universe\ninitiative on monday , and its intent is clear : to\nreboot\nthe company ' s old monster -

led reboot of a trilogy of films started in 1999 . early tracking suggests the alex kurtzman - directed film may debut in the low $ 40 million range in north america \u2014 a modest opening salvo for what is hoped to be a series that could someday rival dc and marvel .\nthe invisible man of the 21st century will also like all dark universe movies be produced by alex kurtzman and chris morgan , and is being written by ed solomon ( now you see me , charlie\u2019s angels ) . the picture is also ostensibly based on h . g . wells\u2019 1897 . yet , that novel , as well as the \u201933 film that starred claude rains as the eponymous translucent face , made the invisible man a rather dangerous and insane scientist . one wonders that if this is the beginning of a new franchise for depp , whether it will be possible to keep that homicidal mania here ?\nthe production\u2019s stay in swakopmund required 650 members of cast and crew , 215 of whom were sourced locally while the rest were brought in from south africa and the uk . moonlighting film production services were hired to help coordinate the shoot .\nthe central saint martins building in camden was also staged as a hospital for a shoot in april 2016 , with 180 cast and crew present . the site was recently featured in woody harrelson\u2019s live -

called symphony marketing push in the u . s . in which multiplatform divisions work together to promote a single project . and the film is expected to do the majority of its business abroad , where cruise continues to be a major draw . the mummy will open day - and - date in more than 60 markets , including china .\nuniversal isn\u2019t the only studio attempting to reap the benefits of a cinematic universe without bothering to put in the groundwork . zack snyder\u2019s batman v superman : dawn of justice ( with ben affleck as the caped crusader ) was supposed to put rocket fuel in the dc extended universe ( dceu ) \u2019s engine by setting the comics\u2019 two biggest beasts in opposition . but audiences so far seem much more keen on patty jenkins\u2019 wonder woman , an old - school superhero origins movie with the previously unknown gal gadot in the lead , and a film that would have made the perfect introduction to a slow - building shared universe . it remains to be seen whether the forthcoming justice league can take advantage of this unexpected but completely welcome fillip for the dceu \u2013 that joss whedon is involved is a positive sign .\nlast we heard , the show is due to enter production this year , with a 10\u201313 episode season slated to hit in 2018 . the film is set to hit theaters this summer , so it\u2019ll likely tie in with that as a prequel . depending on how well the dark tower does at the box office , it\u2019ll probably be part of a strategy similar to what marvel is doing with its films and various television shows . we\u2019ll find out in august .\nthe last gunslinger , roland deschain , has been locked in an eternal battle with walter o ' dim , also known as the man in black , determined to prevent him from toppling the dark tower , which holds the universe together . with the fate of the worlds at stake , good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only roland can defend the tower from the man in black .\nbehind the scenes , koepp is working with the mummy director alex kurtzman and writer christopher mcquarrie , plus writer chris morgan ( the fate of the furious ) , as universal\u2019s dark universe braintrust . the studio isn\u2019t rushing any of the other films into production , however , choosing instead to give the creative teams to ample time with each project . \u201cthe enterprise masterfully developed by chris and alex will allow each subsequent chapter the right time to find the perfect cast , filmmakers , and vision to fulfill it , \u201d said universal pictures chairman donna langley in a statement . \u201cas we launch dark universe with danny\u2019s provocative theme before the mummy and collaborate with a brilliant filmmaker like bill to weave the story of a very modern woman in a very classic tale , we feel confident we\u2019re off to a tremendous start . \u201d\nstarring tom cruise , annabelle wallis , sofia boutella , jake johnson , courtney b . vance and russell crowe , the mummy grossed just $ 74 . 5 million domestically on an estimated $ 125 million production budget . one positive that could keep the dark universe afloat is that the film performed well overseas . still , universal hopes to be able to tap into the domestic audience next time around . \u201ci think every movie will be different , \u201d kurtzman said . \u201ci certainly know that the legacy of the monsters have endured across the world throughout the years . almost a century . so i have to believe american audiences will find it too with the right ingredients . \u201d\nandjene andreas of the namibia film commission explains : \u201cthe production took place around the rossing mountains , sunset dunes , pyramid dunes , swakop canyons ( pictured below ) , tent dunes , rossing mountain airstrip and messum crater which are all in the erongo region . \u201d\n) have beloved heroes spilling from all sides . universal has van helsing ( whose 2004 film made tons of money in spite of sucking ) , and . . . uh . . . another generic , flat tom cruise character . maybe\nscary german guy\nfrom\nthe softly , softly approach to universe - building is not the only trick universal seems to be missing . apart from jackson , the marvel cinematic universe flourished largely by casting unlikely actors in the key roles . the iron man and avengers movies helped transform the likes of robert downey jr and scarlett johansson into star names , but neither would have been automatic first pick to lead a new franchise 10 years ago .\nby contrast , the \u201cdark universe\u201d seems to be on a rabid mission to hire as many middle - aged hollywood a - listers as possible , from tom cruise as soldier - of - fortune nick morton in the mummy , to crowe as jekyll / hyde and johnny depp as the upcoming invisible man . we\u2019re expected to find out soon who is playing the bride of frankenstein in 2019\u2019s bill condon - directed effort , with rumours swirling around angelina jolie .\na veteran writer and producer whose credits include transformers , star trek and the amazing spider - man 2 , kurtzman was tasked , along with chris morgan ( the fast and the furious franchise ) to shepherd the dark universe ; they\u2019re expected to produce 2019\u2019s bride of frankenstein , from beauty and the beast director bill condon . however , now kurtzman is saying , \u201ci have to stay interested in it . i have to feel like my passion is there for it . \u201d\nso , we\u2019re not only getting the film , but a tv series . word broke about that last september , and the show is going to be designed to flesh out this pretty epic story that they\u2019re telling . apparently , it\u2019ll include idris elba ( who\u2019s playing roland in the movie ) , and it\u2019ll explore his backstory a bit . it\u2019ll be based a bit on the gunslinger , and it\u2019ll have parts of the fourth book , wizard and glass . so , in some ways , it looks like it\u2019ll be an actual adaptation of the novels , whereas the film is a continuation of that .\npart of the appeal of this universe is the big stars you ' ve attached , and in the mummy in particular , seeing tom cruise and russell crowe fight is a draw . how ' d you approach that scene ?\nin addition to badem , dark universe will include the mummy stars tom cruise as nick morton ; russell crowe as dr . jekyll / mr . hyde ; and sofia boutella as the mummy herself , ahmanet . crowe\u2019s jekyll / hyde will be the binding agent between all the movies , which will include a johnny depp - starring the invisible man , and , presumably , the wolfman and dracula . an image of all the main stars cast so far ( above ) was also revealed today .\nin the technical sense of the term , blake crouch\u2019s \u201cdark matter\u201d is definitely a book . even the advance galley i just read ( in one sitting ) was printed on actual paper , with an artfully designed cover and everything . but rather like the mysterious cubelike chamber invented by the physicist jason dessen in crouch\u2019s novel \u2014 well , let\u2019s say by at least one version of jason and perhaps by several ; indeed , perhaps by an infinite or incalculable number of jasons \u2014 \u201cdark matter\u201d is a portal into other dimensions of reality .\ni think that variety is going to be our good friend when it comes to the evolution of dark universe . you obviously want to set a somewhat consistent tone , so that people know what to expect when you see these movies , but it would be ideal for each movie to have its own identity , which is largely going to be dependent on who is directing the films and who is starring in the films . i ' m really excited to see what bill condon does with bride of frankenstein .\naside from \u201cthe mummy , \u201d \u201cbride of frankenstein\u201d is the only planned movie to be dated thus far , to be released on feb . 14 , 2019 . \u201cthe invisible man\u201d and \u201cfrankenstein\u201d have already nabbed stars in johnny depp and javier bardem , respectively . angelina jolie has been linked to the lead role in \u201cbride of frankenstein , \u201d but has yet to officially sign on . a new musical theme for the \u201c dark universe , \u201d composed by danny elfman , will debut in theaters ahead of \u201cthe mummy . \u201d\ndark universe films are connected by a mysterious multinational organization known as prodigium . led by the enigmatic and brilliant dr . henry jekyll , prodigium ' s mission is to track , study , and\u2014when necessary\u2014destroy evil embodied in the form of monsters in our world . working outside the aegis of any government , and with practices concealed by millennia of secrecy , prodigium protects the public from knowledge of the evil that exists just beyond the thin membrane of civilized society . . . and will go to any length to contain it .\nat its organizing principle , dark universe films are connected by a mysterious multi -

( dr . sleep , the shining\u2019s follow - up , would come a year later . ) he wrote the wind through the keyhole , which is set about halfway through the series , but it\u2019s a bit more standalone than the other installments .\nthis time around , the awareness is greater , though rival studios question why universal opted for a mummy poster without cruise . still , the film ' s first trailer has been viewed more than 179 million times , beginning with its broadcast debut in december on nbc sunday night football ; a second trailer had more than 134 million views .\n\u2018i wanted to be able to honour the heritage and the history of the original karloff film through the summers movies , even the hammer movies , and also bring something new to the table , bring it into the modern day by making the mummy into a woman \u2013 and obviously tom cruise and russel crowe changes the game quite a bit . \u2019\ni don\u2019t mean that as disparagement , or mostly i don\u2019t . \u201cdark matter\u201d is far too cheerful and indeed too earnest to feel cynical , even as crouch pilfers material from dozens of sources and mixmasters together multiple genres of popular fiction . this book is alternate - universe science fiction bolstered by a smidgen of theoretical physics . it\u2019s a countdown thriller in which the hero must accomplish an impossible task in constrained circum\u00adstances to save his family . under deeper cover , it might also be a fantasy novel shaped by c . s . lewis\u2019s \u201cchronicles of narnia\u201d or lev grossman\u2019s postmodern \u201cmagicians\u201d series .\nthe crucial difference between the clumsy approach taken by warner bros and universal and the more carefully crafted marvel model is that marvel was always confident in its brand . in the case of the dark universe , no amount of star quality is going to help if audiences don\u2019t connect to this brave new world of gods and monsters . these movies need to lure us into the cinema , gauzy - eyed and rapt with fascination to see these classic monster stories retold , which is tough when the first instalment looks like a common - or - garden tom cruise action fest \u2013 21st - century fiftysomething beefcake edition .\nfans went nuts , because what king tweeted is a reference to the final book of the series , the dark tower . that\u2019s where [ spoilers ] roland finally reaches the dark tower and faces off against a villain known as the crimson king . it\u2019s there that he discovers that he\u2019s gone on this quest before , many times , and is sent back to the beginning of his journey by a being known as gan each time . in prior quests , roland had left the horn of eld with a dying compatriot after a battle . in this latest version of the quest , he kept it with him , which changes things for the next cycle of the story .\non the other hand , crouch\u2019s obsessive need for speed sometimes leads him to tread upon his better writing and his more imaginative ideas . much of his scene -

office analyst paul dergarabedian .\nif you look at [ universal ' s ] fate of the furious , 80 percent of its box office came from international . tom cruise is an international superstar , and he remains so .\n\u2018chris morgan , who is my partner in the universal monsters , and i are working on all of them as producers , and the idea is that we\u2019re going to do one a year , and that we\u2019ve set a tone in this film but different directors will be able to come in on different films and bring their imprint , and unique vision to the idea of these monster movies , \u2019 said kurtzman .\nso far , so not too bad . but then the film does something that the marvel movies , which set the template for this whole shebang , never would have . the plummy - toned jekyll messes up his injection and all of a sudden we\u2019re confronted with the sight and sound of crowe doing his best ray - winstone - on - steroids as the fiendish , green - tinged mockney demon mr hyde .\nor at least into other dimensions of media . crouch\u2019s wayward pines trilogy became the basis for a fox television series whose pilot episode was directed by m . night shyamalan , possibly because crouch\u2019s episodic tale about a rural idaho town that is not what it appears to be was more like a shyamalan film than anything the director has made in years . \u201cdark matter\u201d is surely destined for a similar fate , and as you read it on paper it inhabits a state of quantum transubstantiation , or \u201csuperposition , \u201d to use jason dessen\u2019s lingo . it\u2019s a novel right now , one that barely qualifies as beach reading because you\u2019ll gulp it down in one afternoon , or more likely one night . but the next time you look , it will have metamorphosed into some other form .\nfor those obsessive enough to want every little detail about dark universe and universal\u2019s plans for their iconic monsters , this entire hollywood reporter article is worth a read . it touches on some things we already knew : that universal still wants angelina jolie to play the bride of frankenstein ( javier bardem is on board to play frankenstein\u2019s monster himself ) , that the studio is considering dwayne johnson to play a new version of the wolf man ( a rumor that first howled across the internet about a year ago ) , and that the studio is rightfully nervous about the mummy tracking for a $ 40 million opening at the domestic box office ( it\u2019s budged at $ 125 million ) .\nthe short answer is that it\u2019s an epic story about roland deschain , who\u2019s on a quest to find the dark tower , a building that\u2019s said to link all the worlds in existence together . he\u2019s the last living member of an order of knights known as gunslingers , living in an alternate world ( part of king\u2019s larger multiverse ) known as mid - world .\nthough reviews for \u201c the mummy \u201d have been unfavorable and box office tracking is far from through the roof , the studio hasn\u2019t said it will slow down on its planned monster universe . the films will mine from universal \u2019s vault of monsters \u2014 dracula , frankenstein , invisible man , etc . \u2014 and reboot them for movies in the next few years .\nthe door is still open for luke evans\u2019 vlad tepes , aka dracula , to be the count of the shared universal monsters universe . when we talked with evans in october 2016 , he definitely seemed eager about donning the fangs again and saying that discussions are continuing about connecting the two potential franchises . however , it is still currently up in the air .\nleaving aside the questionable wisdom of making jekyll / hyde the central , connecting figure of this universe in the first place , did we really need to see him transform ? in the marvel movies , we didn\u2019t meet samuel l jackson \u2019s fury until the end - credits scene of 2008 party - starter iron man . those movies worked because the studio slowly built up a bigger picture of a world inhabited by superheroes , rather than throwing all its cards on the table in the first half - hour . part of the fun was in seeing the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle gradually clicking into place . but kurtzman and co have hired crowe to play their main man , and just can\u2019t resist showing him off \u2013 even though doing so ends up semi - sidelining boutella\u2019s ancient egyptian horror in the movie that bears her name , and has no effect whatsoever on the events of the rest of the film .\ndetailing the london portion of the shoot , filmfixer director andrew pavord notes : \u201cthere were two main angles the production needed from the helicopter . one was an overhead shot of a convoy crossing waterloo bridge from a height of about 500 feet . the second was a low - flying panning shot of the vehicles , from about the same height as the bridge . the production managed to film what they needed in two hours . and in fact , in that time frame , only half an hour of flying was needed . \u201d\nwhile the subject matter is cool , the series has the potential to do some interesting things with film . as we\u2019ve seen , the story is playing with not just being a straight - up adaptation of the series , but being an additive part to it . additionally , we\u2019ve seen places like disney do some interesting things with their marvel franchise : cross - over television shows and films . we\u2019ve seen these sorts of cinematic universes with comics and science fiction , but this has the potential to become another bit thing like those properties .\nwhat makes dark universe intriguing is that \u2014 unlike with dc and marvel \u2014 the budgets of the films will range dramatically and could even include low - budget forays . for instance , sources say universal - based microbudget horror producer jason blum has expressed interest in tackling a low - budget monsterverse outing . also , insiders are quick to point out that universal doesn\u2019t have to buy the ip ( as disney did with marvel and lucasfilm ) because the studio has the titles in its library , dating to carl laemmle jr . \u2019s reign at universal when he oversaw a 1931 dracula and frankenstein , a 1932 the mummy , a 1933 the invisible man and a 1935 bride of frankenstein . still , despite their long association with the studio , most of the monsters exist in the public domain , so there\u2019s little to stop other studios from pursuing films based on the characters .\nwhat makes dark universe intriguing is that \u2014 unlike with dc and marvel \u2014 the budgets of the films will range dramatically and could even include low -

( the next installment , \u201cbride of frankenstein , \u201d is slated for 2019 . ) in other words , there is no verifiable proof that audiences are interested in these monster flicks , beyond the blanket notion that the characters are already household names . to boot , early box - office tracking for \u201cthe mummy\u201d has been tame . costing a reported $ 135 million , the movie is forecasted to lose the no . 1 slot to \u201cwonder woman\u201d after earning a lukewarm $ 35 million domestically this weekend . like many contemporary franchises with established marketability , that puts the onus on foreign grosses , making patrons in these movies\u2019 home country an afterthought . even if \u201cthe mummy\u201d were to bomb outright with american audiences , the dark universe will continue , with a little parisian pizzazz tossed in , thanks to \u201cphantom\u201d and \u201chunchback . \u201d\nthe fact that crouch barely pretends to answer this \u2014 the jason with a wife and kid who narrates the story is the \u201creal\u201d one , of course ! \u2014 won\u2019t slow you down much as you plow through \u201cdark matter . \u201d but higher - order speculation about the nature of identity amid the quantum science of uncertainty is by no means new to science fiction , and i couldn\u2019t help reflecting on the various ways genre masters less concerned with forward momentum \u2014 ursula k . le guin , neil gaiman , peter f . hamilton \u2014 have tangled with such things .\nglobal audiences may very well gobble up familiar monster names for a fun weekend flick , but the full\nuniverse\ncash - in potential\u2014toys , clothes , video games , comics , repeat screenings , etc . , etc . \u2014will depend on these series inspiring the kind of unabashed fanboy and fangirl love that gets dumped onto other universes ' biggest stars . good luck getting anywhere near darth vader and han solo levels of fandom for dr . jekyll and . . . mick . . . chester ?\ndavid koepp , who contributed to the script for the mummy and also wrote 2016 ' s inferno , apparently turned in a script for the film in 2016 that was well received by the studio . but much more promising is that bill condon has signed onto the project . condon is most well known these days for blockbusters like 2017 ' s box office - enchanted beauty and the beast and the fourth and fifth twilight pictures . but he won an oscar for his screenplay to gods and monsters , a movie he wrote and directed about james whale . and whale , of course , was an early hollywood auteur that directed and really masterminded the original bride of frankenstein .\nwith its famous opening scene at a harvard graduation , this classic of education research brings into sharp focus the dilemma facing all educators : why don ' t even the brightest students truly grasp basic science concepts ? this award - winning program traces the problem through interviews with harvard graduates and their professors , as well as with a bright ninth - grader who has some confused ideas about the orbits of the planets . equally useful for education methods classes , teacher workshops , and presentations to the public , a private universe\ngunning for a marvel - esque connected universe , universal had already announced \u201cbride of frankenstein\u201d ( starring javier bardem as frankenstein\u2019s monster ) and \u201cthe invisible man\u201d ( starring johnny depp as dr . griffin ) . \u201cthe mummy\u201d director alex kurtzman has said a \u201cvan helsing\u201d script is in the works from jon spaihts ( \u201dpassengers\u201d ) and eric heisserer ( \u201darrival\u201d ) . kurtzman also revealed last year that the creature from the black lagoon and wolf man could be incorporated , as well . russell crowe\u2019s dr . jekyll will link these films .\nstill , the film represents a considerable gamble for universal given that recent reboot attempts of aging intellectual property haven ' t fared well ( see alien : covenant , smurfs : the lost village and king arthur : legend of the sword ) . in addition , kurtzman , one of hollywood ' s top writers , has only one feature credit as a director \u2014 the 2012 drama people like us , which earned just $ 12 . 4 million worldwide . but these days it ' s not unusual to enlist a director with no tentpole experience for a big - budget movie ( think jurassic world ' s colin trevorrow , pirates 5 ' s joachim ronning and espen sandberg , and wonder woman ' s patty jenkins ) .\nfor starters , this five - actor announcement reeks of bet - hedging . universal ' s\nmonsters\nuniverse contains all kinds of supernatural monster silliness , backed by nearly a century of schlocky films . but the whole thing seems half - baked without staking ( sorry ) anybody for dracula or an otherwise vampiric role , and plenty of other obvious choices are missing from this reveal : the wolfman , the creature from the black lagoon , or either of the wolves of london . ( let alone the abbott & costello tie - in possibilities ! )\nthat limitation is quite likely all to the good , because if we weren\u2019t being thrust relentlessly forward in jason\u2019s quest to figure out why he was kidnapped by a \u00adfamiliar - seeming stranger in the middle of the night , injected with powerful narcotics and catapulted , like howard the duck , into a world he never made , we might notice how familiar it all is . despite the light dusting of pop physics \u2014 specifically , the \u201cmany worlds\u201d version of multiverse theory , in which virtually every choice made by every sentient being engenders a new universe \u2014 crouch is effectively repurposing and joining two well - worn channels of fictional speculation . there\u2019s the idea of another universe as an inverted or ironic reflection of ours , as in the movie \u201csliding doors\u201d or the \u201cstar trek\u201d episode featuring an evil , bearded spock or the philip k . dick classic \u201cthe man in the high castle . \u201d and then there\u2019s the literary conceit , going back at least as far as poe and dostoyevsky and henry james , that throughout our lives we remain \u00adhaunted by what we might have been , by the ghosts of people we never became ."]}

boy ' s care , and went out .\nconversely , everyone in shiraz loved dash akol - - even when drunk and forbidding , he would allow women and children to cross his path . in fact , he was kind to people ; if anyone dared harass a woman , or tried to bully people , dash akol made him pay for it through the nose . he could be counted on to help people in financial distress and sometimes even to carry their heavy parcels .\nas he calmly turned the ice in his bowl and viewed the situation from the corner of his eye , dash akol burst out laughing , suddenly and loudly . a set of pearly teeth flashed beneath his hennaed moustache .\nisaac the jew shook his head and headed down the cellar stairs . after a few minutes , he returned with a bottle . dash akol took the bottle from him , dashed its neck against the wall to open it , and quickly downed half the bottle . tears gathered in his eyes and he began to cough . he stopped himself from coughing and , with the back of his hand , wiped his mouth . isaac the jew ' s son , a sickly jaundiced child with a distended stomach , a gaping mouth and a crusted - over nose , stared at dash akol . dash akol reached up for the salt jar on the shelf above him and , with his finger , scooped up a bit of salt and licked his finger . isaac the jew came toward dash akol , tapped him on the shoulder and said ,\nlutis take their drinks straight - - no relish !\nsuddenly a man in a velvet tunic , large trousers and a felt cap hurled himself into the teahouse . he glanced about frantically . then he went up to dash akol and said ,\nhaji samad passed away .\nkaka rostam suddenly lunged for him . dash akol struck kaka rostam ' s wrist with such force that his cutlass flew from his hand . their litany had drawn a crowd , but no one dared come forward to break them up . dash akol laughingly said ,\ni let you retrieve it this time . but i warn you . . . hold your cutlass tight . this is the night for settling our account once and for all .\nhis only companion and confidante in nights of drunken loneliness is an old parrot . every night , \u201cwhen shiraz with its twisting streets\u2026and purple wines , was going to sleep\u2026the real dash akol , unashamed of his desires and passions , came out of the shell that society had wrapped around him . \u201d ( \u201cdash akol\u201d , p . 47 ) it is to the parrot that he confesses his love of marjan , reciting amorous poems , and confiding his sorrows .\ndash akol is greatly respected in shiraz as an honorable man who has lost his family ' s money through helping his friends . he has an enemy , however , named kaka rostam , a mean and spiteful . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfrom this point on , dash akol abandoned his usual nocturnal rounds and challenges and he ceased to mingle with his cronies . gradually his sense of adventure died . but the scoundrels and the louts who sought to rival him , egged on by the\nreciters and prayer - book dealers were quarreling over their wages . after a considerable delay by the pond , he was ushered into the main salon . its stained - glass - doors , which overlooked the garden , were open . haji ' s wife came up to the curtain separating the men ' s and women ' s quarters . she greeted dash akol warmly . dash akol sat down on a cushion and said ,\nwe all miss haji . may you and your children live a long life !\ndash akol recognized kaka rostam . he stood up and moved his hand to his waist . he spat and said ,\nson of a coward ! you consider yourself a luti ? let me tell you , you are about to meet your match now !\nwho had been deprived of haji ' s property , found some breathing space . they were the toughs now . and dash akol was reduced to a mere topic at the teahouses . at the pachenar teahouse , it was rumored that they had ridiculed him saying ,\nwho ? dash akol ? he is an old windbag ! where is the old dog now ? good riddance ! he ' s taking advantage of the old haji , thinking he ' ll come into something . when he reaches his corner , he turns tail and runs .\neverywhere he entered , people began to whisper - - they made fun of him . dash akol took this all in , but he seemed to ignore it . marjan ' s love was in his veins , so much so that his heart and mind were completely absorbed .\neven on his deathbed , dash akol recognized valikhan . with a trembling voice that choked in his throat he said ,\nin my life , i had only this parrot , only you . . . hold him dear . . . give him to . . .\nthe motif of an old man falling in love with a young inaccessible girl , recurrent in hedayat\u2019s stories , acquires a socio - ethical overtone in \u201cdash akol\u201d ( fischer , p . 196 ) . the protagonist of the story , like the title characters of \u201c\u0101bji \u1e35\u0101nom\u201d ( the spinster ) , and \u201cd\u0101vud -

boy smiled and glanced towards dash akol . clenching his teeth , kaka rostam spat out ,\nlet those who have the ga . . gall to face me come out tonight for a bi . . bi . . bit of man - to - man business !\ndash akol cast a threatening look at the tea - boy who , recognizing his precarious situation , decided to ignore kaka rostam ' s order . instead , he made himself busy taking the tea glasses off the large brass tray , dipping them in hot water and carefully drying each until it glistened and screeched .\nakol and kaka rostam were such bitter enemies that each would shoot at the other ' s shadow if he could . one day dash akol had crouched contentedly on the dais of the domil teahouse , his usual haunt . a delicately - wrought bird cage , covered with a fine red cloth , stood next to him . as he sat , he stirred the ice floating in a bowl with his fingertip . suddenly , kaka rostam stepped through the door . with one hand on the sash at his waist , he tossed dash akol a contemptuous sneer and stalked to a seat on the opposite dais . he then turned towards the tea - boy and stammered ,\nbo . . bo . . boy , bring me a cu . . cu . . cup of tea !\njust then , kaka rostam arrives and the two proceed to settle their old feud . dash akol places his dagger aside in an act of manliness , and it is with this very dagger that he is mortally wounded . he succumbs to his wounds the following day , but not before entrusting his parrot to marjan .\n\u201c d\u0101\u0161 \u0101kol \u201d ( translated as \u201cdash akol\u201d by richard arnt and mansur ekhtiar , 1979 ) , one of the eleven stories in se qa\u1e6dra \u1e35un ( three drops of blood , tehran , 1932 ) , the first collection of short stories by the eminent fiction writer sadeq hedayat ( hedayat , sadeq , 1903 - 1951 ) .\nhe put his hand down and drew his cutlass . kaka rostam , who looked like rostam painted on the wall of the bathhouse , also pulled out his cutlass . dash akol jammed the tip of his cutlass into the ground , stood by and ritually lowered his head to his chest saying ,\nwhoever considers himself a luti can try to pull this cutlass out .\n\u201cdash akol , \u201d like most of the short stories hedayat wrote from the late 1920s to the mid - 1930s , is full of local color , and depicts a traditional social setting . it weaves the tragic life and death of a man with the accounts of a fast disappearing era ( ette\u1e25\u0101d , p . 214 ; naficy , p . 244 ) . told by an omnipresent , third - person narrator , \u201cdash akol\u201d is recognized as a coherent , well - structured short story ( gol\u0161iri , p . 661 ; mir\u1e63\u0101deqi , p . 99 ) , and \u201ca minor masterpiece in its own way\u201d ( katouzian , p . 127 ) , in which dialogues are \u201cwell constructed and convincing\u201d and the \u201ccolorful idiom of ordinary people\u2019\u2019 is captured remarkably ( yarshater , pp . 321 - 22 ) .\nthe relationship between literature and film has been the subject of numerous reflections and analyses . most critics see art , literature and film in terms of a living mosaic , a dynamic intersection of textual surfaces ( sanders , 2006 , p . 3 ) . the very quality can be seen in a quite successful adaptation of the short story of\ndash akol\ninto a movie . there are debates around dash akol ' s success as a film and the degree to which it remains faithful to the source text . apart from all these controversies surrounding the dialectic between the two genres , one obviously based upon the other and borne from it , it goes without saying that the movie has brought the short story into the limelight , successfully targeting and winning over the attention of a wider audience .\nthe repetition of allegories , phrases , and expressions , like rhymes in poetry , creates a rhythm in the text . at the same time , the final ambiguity of the story implies a suspension of judgement , leaving the reader with uncertainty , and a choice . was marjan aware of dash akol\u2019s affections before the parrot\u2019s confession ? were the tears she shed tears of sympathy and sorrow , or love and affection ?\ntranslations . \u201cdash akol\u201d is translated into english by richard arnt and mansur ekhtiar ( sadeq hedayat : an anthology , modern persian literature series 2 , usa , 1979 , ehsan yarshater , ed . , usa , 1979 , pp . 41 -

of - the - century iran ( naficy , p . 246 ) . it featured many leading actors in the iranian cinema , including behruz vo\u1e6fuqi and bahman mofid , who played the roles of dash akol and kaka rostam , respectively .\nvalikhan took the parrot ' s cage to his home . that afternoon marjan put the cage in front of her and stared at the bird ' s multi - colored wings , hooked beak and round tired eyes . suddenly the parrot , in a voice that echoed dash akol ' s , said ,\nmarjan . . . marjan . . . you ' ve killed me . whom can i tell ? marjan , your love has killed me .\nanxiously the teahouse owner checked over the samovar and said ,\ndid he ever disarm rostam ! one old samovar ' s all we had , and he ' s done it in .\neven though the innkeeper said this in a sorrowful tone , his allusion to rostam fueled the laughter . frustrated , the innkeeper attacked his apprentice , but dash akol , smiling , pulled out a small money purse and dashed it onto the floor . the owner picked up the purse , weighed it , and grinned .\ndash akol remembered quite well that only three days before , in the domil teahouse , kaka rostam had threatened to take him on . but he knew kaka rostam well enough to know that the latter , along with emam qoli , had plotted to make him lose face ; he decided to ignore them . he , thus , went on his way . as he went , marjan dominated his thoughts . he thought of no one but marjan and could not erase her from his mind , hard as he tried .\nfrom that day forward , dash akol got caught up in haji ' s affairs . with the help of an expert dealer , two neighborhood toughs and a scribe , he made an inventory of haji ' s possessions . he disposed of what needed to be sold , and he locked and sealed the rest in a storeroom . he had the deeds of haji ' s estate read to him , collected what was owed the estate , and paid its debts . he took care of all of this in two days and two nights . on the evening of the third day , exhausted , he headed for home . reaching seyyed haj gharib intersection , he bumped into emam qoli , the smith . emam qoli said ,\nfor two nights now , kaka rostam has been waiting to take you on . last night he said , ' there ' s a fine way to keep a deal . it seems he has forgotten his promise .\n' dash akol ran his fingers through his moustache and said ,\ndon ' t you worry about that .\nhis father had been one of the notable landowners of the fars province . when he died , his legacy had gone to his only son . but dash akol , carefree and a spender , felt no allegiance to money ( or to other worldly things ) . he devoted his life to heroic deeds , restoration of people ' s lost freedoms and philanthropy . he was a simple man , attached to none other than these goals . the money that he took in found its way either to those who were in greater need or to his diversions . these were to sit drinking strong brands of\nit seemed as though this news shocked dash akol . again he looked the messenger over and rubbed his forehead , pushing back his egg - shaped hat and revealing a bit of the untanned head . then he shook his head , pulled out his gilded - stemmed pipe , filled it with tobacco , tapped it down , lit it and said ,\nmay god bless the haji . what ' s done is done , but he really shouldn ' t have . this will cause a lot of trouble for me . anyhow , you go on ahead . i ' m on my way .\nas he turned his head , through the slit of a curtain , he saw the flushed face and the ravishing black eyes of a young girl . for a moment their eyes met , but the girl , as if coy , dropped the curtain and left . could she be called beautiful ? perhaps . in any event , her stunning eyes had worked their magic and had turned dash akol ' s life upside down . his face flushed ; he dropped his head . this young girl was marjan , haji samad ' s daughter . bursting with curiosity , she had come to meet the town ' s hero and their protector in person .\nif one of haji ' s children fell ill , day and night he would hover over the child like a nervous mother . little by little , he found himself strongly attached to them , but his feelings for marian were something else - - no doubt it was his love of marjan that helped him remain so calm . little by little , the children were ready to leave the nest . and then , that which should not have come to pass came about : a suitor asked for marjan ' s hand - - and on top of it all - - who was the husband - to - be but a man older and uglier than dash akol himself .\nthen he slipped his hand under dash akol ' s tunic material and said ,\nwhat are you wearing ? this tunic ' s completely out of fashion . whenever you want to part with it , i ' ll gladly take it off your hands for a good price .\ndash akol smiled sadly ; he took some money from his pocket , placed it in isaac the jew ' s palm and left . it was almost dusk . his body felt warm , his mind was muddled and his head ached . the alleys were still damp from the afternoon rain and the smell of the straw in the mud covering the walls blended with the perfume of orange blossoms in the air . frozen in his mind were marjan ' s face , flushed cheeks , black eyes with long eyelashes , and soft curls framing her forehead . his past memories flashed before his eyes one by one . he remembered his trips with his friends to the tombs of sa ' di and babakuhi . sometimes a smile touched his lips ; sometimes a frown wrinkled his brow . the thing that was the clearest to him was that he was afraid of his own home ; his present situation was unbearable - - he had lost all interest in it . he wanted to go away , far away . the thought of drinking all night and pouring his heart out to his parrot crossed his mind . all of his life seemed useless - - shallow and without meaning . a poem came to mind - - in a fit of impatience , he murmured :\nof opium a day and who was always causing trouble . and now that dash akol had insulted him in the teahouse , kaka rostam sat back and chewed his moustache , smarting with anger . after a while , the laughter in the teahouse had died down , but the tea - boy , pale - faced , wearing a collarless shirt , skullcap and pantaloons , continued to twist and turn , laughing and making the others in the teahouse laugh . eventually , kaka rostam lost control . he grabbed the crystal sugar - cube container and threw it at the teaboy ' s head . the sugar bowl hit instead the top of the samovar , where a pot of tea was brewing ; the whole thing got knocked over , breaking a number of cups in the process . bursting with anger , kaka rostam left the teahouse .\na few days ago , the unlucky kaka had come into the neighborhood and , seeing no opponent , had begun to throw his weight around . suddenly , out of nowhere , dash akol had arrived to ridicule him ,\nkaka ? where ' s the man of the house ? did you smoke an overdose of opium ? man , it has affected you ! but let me tell you my friend , put these cowardly , dastardly pranks aside . you ' re behaving like a lout and you are not even ashamed of it ! is this a new method of begging ? why do you abuse people by stopping them on their way home night in and night out ? try it again and , by pourya the valiant , i shall teach you a lesson . i ' ll slice you in half with this cutlass .\ndash akol was a thirty - five - year - old man , robust but rather ugly . seeing him for the first time , most people would be repulsed . but once they sat and listened to his stories , or heard about his exploits from others , they would find themselves attracted to him . those who were able to ignore the scars on his face found him a noble and attractive man with coal - dark eyes , black , bushy eyebrows , prominent cheekbones , a slender nose and an ebony beard and moustache . what had disfigured his face were the many wounds inflicted upon it . on his cheeks and forehead were the traces of saber cuts - - cuts that had healed quite unattractively , exposing shiny pink flesh . the worst of these had produced a tuck under his left eye , disfiguring the left side of his face .\nhe recited the poem with grief , disappointment and bitterness ; then , as though losing patience , or because his mind was elsewhere , he fell silent . it was dark outside when dash akol reached his usual corner , sar - e dozak . here was the same square he had spent most of his time defending during his youth . no one had dared to come forward to challenge him . without thinking , he walked over to the front stoop of a home , sat down and pulled out his pipe . he felt that the place had deteriorated ; people , like himself who had become old and broken , had changed . his eyes swam in front of him and his head throbbed . suddenly , a shadow approached him . then he heard a voice ,\nc . . cowards sneak ou . . out at n . . night !\nhe tried not to let on the depths of his sadness . on the contrary , he tried hard to occupy himself with the gathering together of the dowry . for the evening of the marriage vows , he pulled together a great feast and brought haji ' s wife and children back to their home . the large entry hall with stained windows to the yard he assigned as a salon for receiving the gentlemen . and he invited all the important men of shiraz , including the merchants and the city fathers . at 5 : 00 p . m . that day , when the guests crowded ear - to - ear in the halls and covered the finest carpets and when sweets and fruit had been laid in front of them , dash akol appeared in the same way as before with half - tousled hair . he wore a quilted cashmere tunic that reached below his knees , cut across by the shoulder - strap of his cutlass , a cashmere belt , black - twill trousers , hand - woven cotton shoes and a brand new felt cap . three men carrying various - sized ledgers followed him . everyone stared at dash akol as with long strides he walked over to the imam jom ' eh and said ,\nyour reverence , haji - - may god rest his soul - - made a will and for seven solid years has kept me in no end of trouble . his youngest son who was only five is now twelve .\npointing to the three men with ledgers who had followed him , he continued ,\nthese show haji ' s assets and belongings . all the expenses to date , including tonight ' s , i have paid out of my own pocket . now it is time for each party to go his separate way .\nat this moment he could not go on for a sob choked his throat . without adding anything , nor waiting for an answer , he dropped his head and , with tear - filled eyes , walked out of the house . as soon as he was out , he took a deep breath . he felt he had been set free , that the burden of responsibility had been lifted off his shoulders . but deep down , his heart was broken . with long strides he wandered aimlessly until he recognized isaac the jew ' s house . without hesitation , he crossed over the damp bricks into the interior of the decrepit , polluted courtyard which , surrounded by filthy hovels and a myriad of small windows , resembled a giant beehive . a coat of green slime covered the small pond in the courtyard . a sour smell hung in the air . laughing artificially , isaac the jew - - thin , with a soiled skullcap , goatee and greedy eyes - - approached him . dash akol , not in the mood for small civilities , said ,\nupon both halves of your moustache , give me a bottle of your finest brew to refresh my throat .\nhe ' d also purchased a parrot to keep himself company . he would sit in front of the parrot and pour out his heart . if dash akol were ever to ask for marjan ' s hand , her mother would be delighted to oblige . but on the other hand , he didn ' t want to be tied down by a wife and family . he wanted to be free as he had been born and reared to be . besides , he felt that if he married the girl who had been his charge , it would be a betrayal of haji ' s trust . worst of all was his face . every night he surveyed himself in the mirror : the scars , the tell - tale marks and the permanently disfigured left side . sadly he would say to himself ,\nmarjan would never love me . most likely , she ' ll find a handsome , virile young man for a husband . . . no . this is far from chivalry . she ' s a mere child of fourteen while i ' m forty -

'\ncondensation trails are a common feature in the sky . but those which richard henkes saw on june 13 , 2013 , in rheinstetten , are really unusual . a number of parallel contrails do not only cast their shadows onto the screen of high cirrus clouds , but also onto a narrow bank of stratocumulus clouds ( 1 \u2013 2 ) . due to the different altitude of the two cloud layers , the angle of vision is different for each of the layers . this is why the shadows do not appear parallel to the contrails . also their shadows in the atmosphere appear under a different angle as these are cast downwards . so they \u201cstand\u201d in the air , and their angle corresponds to the sun elevation at the moment the photo was taken . the shadows on the low clouds , however , are flat or only a little tilted according to the shape of the clouds . both shadows , the one in the atmosphere as well as the one on the clouds , are seen laterally , which makes a sharp bend appear . and not all contrails and shadows are parallel because the airplanes which caused the contrails did not all fly parallely .\nthe name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours ( those around dawn and dusk ) , when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious . crepuscular comes from the latin word \u201ccrepusculum\u201d , meaning twilight .\ndearest twilight , it is of utmost importance that you and your friends come to canterlot at once for a important task at hand . - princess celestia\nevery day one can see shadows pointing away from the sun , but in rare cases there are also shadows visible in sunward direction . these shadows are projected against the sky . seeing those spooky phenomena requires a low sun elevation , a high object which seems to tower above the sun , and a transparent \u201cscreen\u201d of fog between the observer and the object . in the morning of september 11 , 2013 , ulf k\u00f6hler observed such a phenomenon on the hoher pei\u00dfenberg ( 998m ) . the shadow of the dome of the mari\u00e4 himmelfahrt pilgrimage church appeared in passing wafts of mist . when ulf k\u00f6hler changed his position within the shadow of the steeple , the shadow of the dome also changed its appearance .

- he told zant that he was a god and could give zant all the power he could ever want . however , this was a ploy of ganondorf to help him regain his power and escape the twilight realm . with his newly found strength , zant transformed midna into an imp form and overthrew the banner of king of twilight . after this revelation , a fierce battle between link and zant ensues . after a long and hard battle , zant is defeated . however , he reveals to the pair that as long as his apparent god , ganondorf , exists , zant can be resurrected . midna then uses her own power to kill him .\nuse of and / or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our user agreement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) and privacy policy and cookie statement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) .\nluna : a hedgehog like shadow , only of a darker form , has come to equestria reeking havoc . he goes by the name of mephiles .\nthey journey back to faron woods and after withstanding the trials of the woods , finally discover the sacred grove . link touches the sword and is restored to his hylian form when the small stone zant used to place the curse flies out of his body . midna decides to keep the stone , as it can be used to turn link into a wolf whenever they want . she then explains that the only way to defeat zant , is with the master sword and the fabled mirror of twilight . they travel to the distant gerudo desert and ascend the arbiter ' s grounds . at the top of the desert structure , they discover the mirror of twilight ; however , it has been broken into four pieces by zant . the ancient sages , guardians of the mirror , appear and show link what had happened in the past . after committing a horrible crime , ganondorf , the evil king of the gerudos , had been captured and brought to the arbiter ' s grounds to be tried . he was put on trial and found guilty , and was to be executed . however , due to the powers he arbitrarily received from a supposed divine being , he survived the executioner ' s blade , rose to his feet , and killed the water sage . the remaining sages then sealed ganondorf inside the twilight realm . the sages then tell link that zant had failed to destroy the mirror , which could only be destroyed by the true ruler of the twilight . distressed , zant sent the three missing mirror shards to different corners of hyrule , to be protected by his evil followers .\nit is not unusual that one can see some shadow rays in the sky due to clouds in front of the sun . one can also observe coronas in consequence of diffraction of the sunlight or moonlight by small waterdrops of thin clouds . but it\u2019s a rareness to notice both phenomena at the same time .\nthe enemy ' s artificial intelligence in twilight princess is more advanced than in the wind waker . enemies react to defeated companions and to arrows or slingshot pellets that pass by . the ai can also detect link from further distance than in ocarina of time , majora ' s mask , and the wind waker .\ntwilight : well . . . alright . i guess there are some things in equestria i don ' t know about either . so , if you don ' t know much about him , then why are you agreeing to this ?\ntaking place in hyrule , several familiar areas first appearing in other games such as death mountain , lake hylia , hyrule castle , and other such locations can be visited . the geography of these places , however , has been changed to add a sense of newness to them . new areas added to the game include ordon village , a rural town outside of hyrule where link starts the game , and snowpeak , an icy mountain on the edge of the kingdom . one of the most notable areas to make a first appearance is the twilight , which has begun to cover hyrule . in this surreal world of orange and yellow , link is transformed into a wolf , while other people become monsters and spirits .\ncelestia : yes , but summoning him will require both of our magic combined .\nvery nice collection of male nudes from louis lasalle . he has a way with the male nude ! excellent follow up to\ndawn of the gods .\nthis site makes extensive use of javascript . please enable javascript in your browser .\nthrough its succession of seemingly disparate , acutely observed worlds , burnt shadows reveals the impact of shared histories , hinting at larger tragedies through individual loss . the two families , while watching each other ' s back , can also prove instrumental in each other ' s destruction . there are minor flaws in plotting , and occasional excesses - gorilla suits as modes of escape , or soft toys sentimentalised as road kill to make a point . but the subtlety lies in repeated patterns of allegiance and estrangement , betrayal and atonement , in the echoes between kamikaze pilots and suicide bombers , or between ilse ' s alacrity in branding sajjad as a rapist in the novel ' s forsterian vignette and kim ' s suspicion of muslims after 9 / 11 .\n. . the team most succeeds is the abundance of exquisitely staged gags . . .\nthis storefront consists of a straight inward and a prismatic outward glazing . as the individual panes of the outer storefront are inclined to each other , they reflect landscape and sky alternately . so , depending from the incidence of light and the observer\u00b4s position , the appearance of the tower changes permanently . the inner glazing is normally not important here .\n\u201cshadow -

person viewpoint , but was unable to show the variety of link ' s movements . when the third - person view was restored , aonuma thought it felt strange to swing the wii remote with the right hand to control the sword in link ' s left hand , so the sword control was relegated to a button . details about wii controls began to surface in december 2005 , when british publication ngc magazine claimed that , when a gamecube copy of twilight princess , when played on the revolution , would give the player the option of using the revolution controller . miyamoto confirmed the revolution controller - functionality in an interview with nintendo of europe and time reported this soon after . at the 2006 electronic entertainment expo , nintendo announced that both versions would be available at the wii launch and had a playable version of twilight princess for the wii . later , the gamecube release was pushed back to a month after the launch of the wii .\nluna : on the contrary , good rainbow dash . this emergency is of a different matter .\ntwilight : alright girls , let ' s get on our way . but first , we need to go back to ponyville to get some supplies . we ' ll meet at my place and organize a plan , and then we ' ll make our way to the empire . okay ?\ntwilight princess starts out in ordon village , a small town located on the outskirts of hyrule proper . here , a young boy named link lives a simple life , working as a ranch hand . one day , he is asked by rusl to deliver the ordon sword and ordon shield as gifts for the royal family of hyrule for the hyrule festival . however , on the very day he is supposed to make the delivery , hostiles appear in the spirit ' s spring , where ilia , epona , and colin are . these monsters kidnap the children of the village ; ilia , colin , malo , talo , and beth . these monsters also take the horse epona . link is knocked out , and soon almost the entirety of hyrule is covered in twilight . when he regains consciousness and runs to the bridge , he finds a large , dark wall . a shadow beast ' s arm bursts through and pulls him through the wall . however , the power of the triforce symbol on link ' s hand makes the creature drop link . link turns into a wolf , passes out , and is taken to the dungeons of hyrule castle by another monster .\nintensity , direction and appearance of the rays constantly changed when i changed my position and the wafts of mist moved . and even the inner glazing played a role now , because the light caroming the straight inner glazing becomes reflected parallely . this caused an effect of \u201cghost windows\u201d in the fog .\nfor the e3 trailer , michiru \u014dshima created orchestral arrangements of three pieces written by different composers , although only the piece by mahito yokota was used . working on the trailer prompted kondo to consider using orchestral music for the game as well\u2014he envisioned a full orchestra for action sequences and a string quartet for\nlyrical moments\n. kondo always waits until he can observe the gameplay of a title before composing the score , to ensure that they mesh well . when the trailer was created , gameplay development had not progressed enough for kondo to decide if an orchestra would be feasible . the final product uses sequenced music instead ; kondo cited the lack of interactivity that comes with orchestral music as one of the main reasons for the decision . minegishi followed kondo ' s example of matching the score to the gameplay and created music to elicit the feeling of melancholy he observed . as link begins to save hyrule from the effects of the twilight realm , the music takes on a more relaxed mood .\nsome reviews have mentioned drawbacks about the game , however . the most commonly mentioned is that the game , having been designed for the gamecube , is not up to scratch with the cutting - edge graphics of its competitors , and that much of the game feels familiar to devoted zelda fans , as though it is a compilation of zelda ' s\ngreatest hits\n. some aspects of the game ' s design have been more firmly criticized by a number of reviewers , such as the director of \u014dkami speaking of his disappointment in the feel of the game ' s visuals . regarding the wii version , gamespot ' s jeff gerstmann said the wii controls felt\ntacked - on\n, although 1up said the remote - swinging sword attacks were\nthe most impressive in the entire series\n.\napplejack takes the others to the kitchen , where pinkie pie is eating a bunch of apple pastries .\n. i will one day rule the world . i can do this . of course i can .\ni would rank hamilton as one of my favorite writers , but for her fatal flaw . she creates wonderful characters and settings , but inevitably she has to bog them down with in your face sexual situations . kiss of shadows is no different . in this book hamilton does a wonderful job of creating a strong female protagonist , merry gentry , and describes an intricate fairy world that she belongs to , full of strange creatures and filled with political intrigue . but in order to enjoy hamilton ' s skill at describing such people and places , you have to wade through pages of nothing but sex , as her main characters pretty much sleep with anything and everyone around them . i ' m far from a prude , but other writers describe sexual beings much better in my opinion , such as jacqueline carey . if you can stand the sex , the book is worth reading . but if it makes you uncomfortable , give hamilton a pass .\nthe light spirit lanayru tells link about the interlopers , ancestors of the twili . they had , with their powerful magic , tried to conquer the sacred realm and establish dominance over it . a war broke out , and , fearing their destructive power , the goddesses commanded three of the light spirits to seal away the interlopers . they also created the mirror of twilight , an instrument with which to banish the wicked to the twilight realm , this mirror could be used as an entrance to the twilight realm as well . the two travel back to hyrule castle town , but find that ilia has lost her memory . telma tells the pair that in order for the zora prince to be healed , he must be taken to renado , the shaman of kakariko village . they decide to transport him on a carriage through the dangerous route of lake hylia through southern hyrule field to kakariko village . link , on his faithful mare , defends them and makes sure they make it safely back to kakariko village . after the prince is brought safely to the closed -

satisfied bacchant who even towards old age can ' t manage to forgo his lifelong pose as an irresistable seducer of women . he desperately searches for meaning in superficial , fleeting sex .\nvera chytilova is a longtime favorite of pfa audiences ; her features daisies ( 1965 ) and the apple game ( 1977 ) beautifully weave universal feminist concerns into exuberant and idiosyncratic storytelling . in the very late afternoon of a faun she teams again with scriptwriter ester krumbachova ( daisies ) to give the old don juan legend a modern , comic twist . the \u201cfaun\u201d in question is an aging lothario who uses the sidewalks , cafes and offices of his otherwise boring existence as hunting grounds for the opposite sex , of whom any and all are fair game . new specimens are rare at his nine - to - five job , however , so he affixes his affections there on a middle - aged co - worker who , being of similar mind , is on to his tricks and has a few of her own . the great enjoyment of the film , apart from leos sucharipa ' s energetic rendition of the prancing satyr , is in chytilova ' s flair for ironic juxtaposition and telling detail .\na group of teenagers are mysteriously invited to a skiing workshop in the mountains . there are eleven of them , but the camp supervisors insist that there should be only ten , and that one of them is an intruder .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nfaun ( leos sucharipa ) is a lifelong bachelor with an insatiable lust for younger women that seems to occupy his thoughts at all times . when at work or roaming about in public , his primary goal is to meet and seduce a new beauty . though his failures might outnumber his successes , he has always taken pleasure in the pursuit of sex with a stranger . but as the aging swinger contemplates death for the first time , he considers the prospect of engaging in a more meaningful romance .\nthis film was made as a kind of a\nprotest -

figure is the same woman who has been calling him out all film for failing at meaningful work fits neatly . this is a condemnation not merely of a promiscuous ( male ) life , but of a life in which that is the defining quality . it suggests that he wastes his privilege , and that his quest for immortality is as futile as his quest for rejuvenation .\nthis film was made as a kind of a\nprotest -

series model and a micro gis model were used to estimate a production function relating deer harvest response to prescribed fire , holding constant other environmental variables . the macro time - series model showed a marginal increase in deer harvested of 33 for an increase of 1 , 100 acres of prescribed burn . the marginal deer increase for the micro gis model was 16 . an additional 3 , 710 acres of prescribed burn would produce an additional eight deer harvested regardless of the model . for an additional 3 , 700 acres more of prescribed burn the marginal increase in deer harvested is four and five deer respectively for the macro time - series and micro gis models . using the travel cost method the change in consumer surplus or net willingness - to - pay was $ 257 per additional deer harvested due to the additional trips in response to increasing deer harvest . the consumer surplus estimate using the contingent valuation method was $ 222 . depending on the production function model used the initial deer hunting benefit response to a prescribed burning of 1 , 100 acres ranges from $ 3 , 840 to $ 7 , 920 . an additional increase of 3 , 710 acres of prescribed burning would produce benefits of $ 1 , 920 regardless of the model used . an extra 3 , 700 acres more would produce only between $ 960 and $ 1 , 200 depending on the model . when compared to the cost of conducting the prescribed burning , the benefits derived from an increase in deer harvest represent no more than 3 . 4 percent of the total costs of the first 1 , 100 acres\na year that we ' ll remember for some trickier than hoped for conditions , namely a season that started with record breaking springtime frost in march and april , contonmued with smoke and fire in june and ended with a 10 -

specific turnover rates ) and population distribution [ 97 ] . river stream evasion is also a significant term in regional nee , however much of it derives from co 2 originating in r h of soil organic matter that is flushed into streams with the flow of the soil solution [ 98 ] . since our biome - bgc simulation includes r h of soil organic matter , we did not attempt to additionally account for river / stream evasion here . necb was calculated as nep minus fire emissions and harvest removals ( from our own simulations ) . our necb did not explicitly account for land use change , but the rate of land use conversion is quite low in the wc ecoregion [ 72 ] .\nduring a second harvest ritual in season four , davina ' s remains were channeled by vincent , asking her to accept the harvest sacrifice and resurrect the french quarter witches . she accepted and the girls were resurrected . vincent also made her the gatekeeper of all the ancestral magic of new orleans . as the hollow grew in power , she was resurrected , and linked , in order to leverage kol ' s loyalty so that he would protect the davina who was linked to the hollow . after she was unlinked from the hollow by hope , she and kol leave new orleans for san francisco .\nthis was a year of hard work and surrender to the river of life . it was a year of transition , impact , and reflection . our family has grown , with all seven soul fire farm stewards \u2013 leah , jonah , neshima , emet , larisa , amani , and damaris \u2013 committing to another season of tending the soil , feeding the community , and organizing for racial justice . below , you will find each of our reflections on moments of power and connection in 2017 . you can also read our annual report for more details .\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 .\nadvanced hydrokinesis : the ability to manipulate or bring about water in one way or another has been used by davina when she unleashed the full force of water in the form of rain over new orleans with cassie ' s power , who is the harvest witch of water , nearly drowning the city . davina does not possess this power by herself and does no longer have it as she does not channel water .\ndevil ' s harvest is a golden , crushable ipa with a ghostly hue . a moderate dose of oats help cloud up the beer while grabbing some hop oils from the large dry hop of citra and mosaic . by only using whirlpool and dry hopping techniques , we have cut down on bitterness while raising the aroma in this small 4 . 9 % abv interpretation .\n\u201cthe 2017 bugs conference was one of my most powerful experiences in my recent work around anti racism and food justice . it completely reignited my flame as winter approaches and gave me a chance to honestly reflect on my unique role and vision several transformative project seeds that i am eager to water into a world where folks are more fed more filled and more free . i\ufe0f am most grateful to have had the honor of attending . my biggest takeaway was around the power of myth and the stories we tell ourselves . my goal is to inspire the next cohort of laypersons turned food justice advocates through creativity collectivism and imagination and to enact new stories that center empathy and healing . \u201d ~ amani olugbala , soul fire farm assistant program director , ( photo of soul fire alumni having dinner after black farmers conference , nov 2017 )\nforest disturbances are a strong determinant of carbon stocks and fluxes on both managed and unmanaged landscapes [ 5 , 10 ] . clear - cut harvesting , as is commonly practiced in coniferous forests of western oregon , shuts down the photosynthetic carbon sink and increases the carbon source from heterotrophic respiration of harvest residues . partial harvests for thinning likewise induce a near term reduction in carbon sequestration [ 11 ] . wildfire is similar to harvesting in reducing carbon uptake , but has a longer term impact on heterotrophic respiration because of the slow conversion of snags to more readily decomposed woody debris on the ground [ 12 , 13 ] . pest / pathogen outbreaks reduce leaf area and leave slow decomposing snags , thus altering ecosystem carbon flux for decades [ 14 , 15 ] . spatially -

[ 45 , 44 ] . after 1995 , the annual area disturbed became stable , presumably at an endemic population level characteristic of the native pests / pathogens . meigs et al . [ 44 ] examined the incidence of area in the cascade mountains subject to pest / pathogen impacts and later burned . while that sequence was not uncommon , there did not appear to be a strong relationship . indeed , mountain pine beetle outbreaks in lodgepole pine forests , may reduce the probability of active crown fire [ 46 ] .\ngiven her connection to the harvest ritual , davina had the ability to sense a witch ' s magic , i . e . who and what spell was being performed , though if a more powerful spell was being cast , it would mask other spells , and / or witches performing magic . davina has not shown to be able to do this anymore since her sacrifice .\ngray an , whittier tr , azuma dl . estimation of aboveground forest carbon flux in oregon : adding components of change to stock - difference assessments .\nin 1993 , science - fiction author poul anderson published harvest of stars , the first in a four - volume future history that depicted the human race grappling with machine intelligences . that first volume was mainly a libertarian fantasy about independent spacers evading a tyrannical world government , but it ended with a colony to alpha centauri launched just as true ai was appearing on earth . for anderson , superhuman intelligences were scary because they might lead to a managed economy , the great bu\nyou know , i can give you a list of people who have underestimated me . not one of them has done it a second time .\na religious service including emet\u2019s chanting of torah and offering interpretation of the sacred text ; his official welcome into spiritual adulthood . this is the main event !\nnet uptake of carbon by forests provides a significant offset to anthropogenic carbon emissions at the global [ 1 ] , national [ 2 , 3 ] , regional [ 4 ] , and landscape [ 5 ] scales . however , forest carbon sinks are vulnerable to disturbances in the form of harvesting , fire , and pest / pathogen outbreaks . at the regional scale , we have a poor understanding of the relative contribution of these disturbances to overall carbon budgets [ 6 ] , but such knowledge is important in understanding how the carbon cycle is responding to on - going management and climate change [ 7 , 8 ] . it is also critical for developing policies for greenhouse gas mitigation through altered land use [ 9 ] .\nour nep / necb scaling methods and validation results for applications in oregon , washington , and california have been reported in turner et al . [ 18 , 21 , 22 , 64 ] and law et al . [ 77 , 78 ] . these previous studies considered only stand - replacing disturbances and employed simple landsat - based change detection algorithms to specify the approximate year of disturbance . here we added treatment of pest / pathogen outbreaks ( slow disturbance ) , allowed for multiple disturbance intensity classes , and accounted for sequential disturbance events based on an annual time series of landsat data . to quantify nee , we added a previously derived estimate of emissions from harvested products ( wood and crops ) to nep and fire emissions .\ncohen wb , goward sn . landsat\u2019s role in ecological applications of remote sensing .\nmuch like most of the characters on the show , davina had terrible parents .\nthese brave land warriors traveled through wind and snow , from pa , ny , ma , nh , and ri to be in community with other regional farmers of color . we cozied up around the wood stove to share stories of triumph and challenge during our 2017 season and continue to make connections of mutual aid between us , sprinkled with interludes of song , ritual , and laughter . we are birthing an exciting reparations project to catalyze the transfer of land and resources to the next generation of farmers of color . stay tuned for how you can get involved .\nsince much of the wc ecoregion is public forestland , the reduction in harvests associated with implementation of the northwest forest plan ( nwfp ) in the early 1990s [ 31 ] had a notable impact on the overall rate of harvesting [ 24 , 32 ] . the effect has been stabilization of a long -

that ' s nice if you ' re with a lady , but it ain ' t no good if you ' re in the jungle .\nit ' s ozu ' s simplest and most schematic film , a lighthearted comedy that is built around the motif of changing values from the old to the new .\nthe animated film , set for release in july , will see ace mischievously inspire thomas to leave sodor and travel the world without the fat controller ' s permission .\nit\u2019s a pretense of rebellion , of course , as the boys want their tv , though they inadvertently unearth a truth . minoru tells keitaro that adult conversation is little more than meaningless busy talk\u2014\u201cgood morning , \u201d \u201chow are you ? , \u201d and \u201chow\u2019s the weather ? \u201d\u2014and so why should his pouting be taken any less seriously than this figurative flatulence ? this question tears a whole in the faux contentment of postwar japanese society . minoru\u2019s comparison is unreasonable , designed to hurt his parents , yet hauntingly re - contextualizes our attitudes toward the behavior of the adult characters . much of good morning is composed of the very talk that minoru deplores , yet ozu is more curious than the boy , understanding small talk as the \u201clubricant\u201d of our discourse , to borrow the word of a lonely character .\nviewers seemed more impressed by morgan ' s acting than beckham ' s , with one tweeting : \u201c @ piersmorgan ' s impression of david beckham in king arthur made my morning !

( as i noted a couple years ago about ozu ' s previous film equinox flower , the storytelling may\u2026\nas in many ozu films , the dwellings are characters in themselves . ozu frames much of good morning from his famous near - floor - level perspective , showing how much more one can see when surveying something from a fresh angle . ozu\u2019s astonishing deep - focus compositions render each home as a flat yet distinctive series of planes within planes ( and stages within stages ) , each with its function . we see a foreground , for instance , where an out - of - work translator completes freelance assignments while his sister does errands in the background , each engaged in the affirming concentration of their tasks , though the compression also emphasizes their closeness . good morning boasts a kind of x - ray hyper - tactility that\u2019s intensified by ozu\u2019s embrace of technicolor , which he uses for its bold emphasis , allowing objects to pop with a painterly intensity that highlights their extraordinary ordinariness .\nthe story , such as it is , concerns two brothers\u2014probably about nine and six years of age\u2014who decide to go on a speaking strike until their parents buy a new television set ( all the rage , apparently , in those days ) . the boys are also rebelling against the grown - ups\u2019 use of meaningless greetings to fill up air space\u2014\u201cgood morning , \u201d \u201chow are you , \u201d \u201ci\u2019m fine , \u201d \u201cnice day , \u201d etc .\na western audience will deem the comedy subtle ; cultural differences between east and west , especially when it comes to bathroom humor , decidedly determine how funny someone will think good morning really is . there are a lot of fart jokes in the film . in fact , ozu uses farting as a way that characters communicate , especially the children . the schoolboys assign status to how easily one can blow wind by pushing an imaginary button on a forehead . inability to produce a toot results in minor ostracization . it must be said that the children\u2019s farts don\u2019t sound like the real thing\u2014they are high - pitched and somewhat musical in tone .\nohayo ( good morning , 1959 ) was the first ozu film criterion released on dvd , back in 2000 . the dvd format , launched in 1997 , really took off only after the matrix disc was released in september 1999 . so it\u2019s not surprising to find the ohayo edition quite sparse . no extras , no booklet , just a brief appreciation by rick prelinger ( which can be read here ) . one note is charming : \u201cto switch between the menus and the movie , use the menu key on your remote . use the arrow keys to cycle through menu selections . press enter / select to activate the selection . \u201d\nperhaps more significant , though , is that criterion has chosen to include as a supplement ozu\u2019s acclaimed silent film from 1932 , i was born , but\u2026 sound films came late to japan because of the benshi \u2014narrators who performed during screenings of silent pictures , commenting on the film\u2019s narrative . they had a powerful hold on the industry . criterion had previously released this title as part of an eclipse box set of early ozu titles , but here they\u2019ve upgraded the movie as a blu - ray . also a comedy , born deals with similar social mores . in this case , the boys influence how their father deals with his boss , and also how they relate to their school mate , the boss\u2019 son . for my money , despite being a silent picture , i was born , but\u2026 is better than good morning !\nthe itv period drama came to an end on christmas day in 2015 , but it was finally confirmed by the sun in may that a full length feature film edition would be made .\nan experienced entertainment show host was asked to interview a kidnap at a coffee shop by the kidnapper . it ' s a threat on personal safety , but also a good chance to save the show from shutting down .\nthe fussbudget in me can\u2019t resist correcting something that comes up in the promotional materials and in some reviews . ohayo wasn\u2019t filmed in technicolor . ozu used what was called \u201cagfa - shochikucolor . \u201d i believe that\u2019s just agfa film with shochiku adding its brand name , the way \u201cmetrocolor\u201d was mgm\u2019s eastmancolor . why agfa ? ozu explains : \u201cred turns out magnificently on agfa film . \u201d\nthis film relates several disparate storylines , each representing a different type of lifestyle within italian society at the time , through their common impersonal relationship to a social . . . see full summary \u00bb\nwith a 2008 composed score by donald sosin but it only has lossy audio . in it ozu examines japanese society through the yes of two rebellious young boys , a narrative device he would return to 27 - years later . there is a new 9 - minute interview with film scholar david bordwell who analyzes the evolution of director yasujiro ozu ' s style by comparing the 1932 silent film\nhe said : \u201ci felt that i had to share this with the world\u201d . in fact , the book - which often reads like a film script - was originally meant to be a movie .\nmost people list those two kids ( played by koji shitara and masahiko shimazu ) as the film ' s main characters . i suppose that ' s fair : a major plot throughline involves those two deciding not to speak until their parents buy them a television . but that doesn ' t happen until nearly halfway through the movie . people remember minoru and isamu more than the rest of the film , because after a certain point , ozu stays with them . it also doesn ' t hurt that masahiko shimazu appears to have been cast in the film after winning the most adorable kid in the world contest .\n: [ movie posters ] ozu pays tribute to his cinematic influences by putting all kinds of film posters all over the wall in his films . in this movie , there are two posters , one of\nthe programme ' s stars have , by and large , been desperate to reprise their roles on the big screen , remaining hopeful of a film ever since the series came to an end in 2015 .\nthe time of ' ' good morning , vietnam ' ' is 1965 . adrian cronauer ( robin williams ) , an armed forces radio disk jockey previously stationed in crete , lands in saigon to breathe a little life into the local programming . until cronauer ' s arrival , the afr saigon station has depended largely on the music of mantovani and percy faith and helpful hints on how to withdraw books from the army ' s lending libraries , interrupted from time to time by sanitized newscasts .\nthe film starts with a long shot of the neighborhood , its rooftops and fence and washlines in the distance , all dominated by a tower . the film ends with a shot of wash on a line , paying off the gag of the boy who constantly shits his underwear . but the angle of the shot constitutes a reverse angle of the very first shot , since the towers are now in the distance .\nthis film is very much a docudrama which portrays the difficulties of italian life circa 1963 due to the absence of a divorce law . five scenarios with different actors portray realistic . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film was mostly shot in bangkok , thailand , and at the time , several hundred male students from the international ( american ) school of bangkok ( isb ) were recruited as extras to perform in the multitude of shots showing american gi ' s throughout the film . as a courtesy , robin williams actually came to isb and put on a stand up routine for all students in the 10th grade and above .\nthis is available only in the ozu boxset . on the dvd cover is printed an apology -\ndue to the original negative film condition , you may find some passages uncomfortable , we are sorry .\nit isn ' t entirely clear to me why some styles of filmmaking should suit particular genres . obviously , some techniques can reliably produce particular results : cutting suddenly to a shot of the killer right behind the victim will always make an audience jump , point - of - view shots that don ' t appear to belong to any particular character give a sense of unease , and so on . shock cuts are not a learned association , they tap into the startle reaction . but the link between point - of - view shots and unease could be learned , because most times you see that technique , a shock cut is just around the corner . i ' ve never seen another film with as completely static a camera as good morning , but the closest things i ' ve seen have all been dramas . i wonder if there ' s something about ozu ' s style that is intrinsically better suited to drama than comedy , or if i could have associated ozu - like camerawork with comedy if , say , ghostbusters or airplane ! had been shot that way . but they weren ' t , and good morning didn ' t do much for me . i probably should have watched tokyo story first ."]}

invigorating issues of alterity both in the films chosen and the means by which continental philosophers of difference can paradigmatically alter ways of address and representation that lifts this kind of theory beyond analysis and criticism to help rethink the terrain of film theory itself .\nbordwell , david and thompson , kristin ( 2001 ) film art : an introduction ( 6 th ed ) new york : mcgraw -

five years , the bulk of these analyses deal with the film\u2019s human characters rather than kong himself . in this revised edition of an influential study , erb argues that king kong is a particular kind of cultural outsider who represents a cross -

fashioned modernism\u2019s formal and stylistic innovation for its own purposes , and expressionism provided the most material for experimentation with perception , subjectivity and objectivity ( budd , 1990 : 25 ) . the cabinet of doctor caligari was inarguably the most successful example of this selective use of expressionism in film , retaining a conventional narrative structure whilst wowing the audience with its breathtaking expressionist scenography .\n, the production company went bankrupt about halfway through shooting , leaving no money to finish the film . they tried fixing it in the editing room over the next few years , but it was impossible .\nfalls into the sub - genre of mad scientist films that was all the rage about two decades earlier . the mad scientist film had fairly much died away during the 1950s \u0096 apart from odd throwbacks like\ndespite jack carter being so abusive about the place , geordies took the film to their hearts . with it ' s re -

textual factors , coming from the film ' s surroundings , have led people to label it as horror , but , just as importantly , because we have been able to link these extra - textual elements to textual features\u2014to what belongs to the film text itself . the dominance of the developing horror discourse around the sotl - character hannibal did and still does play a crucial role in determining what the film\nis .\non a broader level , i hope i have shown how elements of reception and , more generally , ancillary discourses , are not limited to extra - textual discussions . they can have , and in fact do have , an impact on how we think about films , what we think particular films\nare\nand , in some cases ( as with hannibal ) , they influence debates concerning what a film will become , even before such determinations have been made .\none of the big surprises of the year was denis villeneuve ' s\narrival ,\nan intellectual sci -

fi genres , especially the theme of abjection , and what she calls \u201cthe monstrosity of sameness\u201d ( stacey , 2003 : 3 - 7 ) . this motif of the artificially created and programmed double or the doppelganger has been integral to the horror genre from its very inception , stemming from its gothic roots , and the motif of the doppelganger .\nit is the idea of \u2018otherness\u2019 which is the key to defining the horrific element of the monster . robin wood explores the theme of \u2018otherness\u2019 in horror . wood posits that the \u2018other\u2019 is a project of a repressive society in which powerful groups impose or project identities upon subordinate groups ( wood , 1986 : 73 ) . however hutchings warns that over emphasis on this interpretation results in the assumption that \u201ca horror film deals with notions of the other because that is what horror films do , and if a film is not doing this in some way , then it is probably not a horror film at all\u201d ( hutchings , 2004 : 102 ) .\nthe film :\ntokyo story\nis routinely acknowledged as one of the greatest films ever made ( the directors surveyed in sight & sound \u2019s most recent poll concluded that it is the greatest film ever made ) , but what often gets lost in the deserved swirl of accolades is something that\u2019s at the heart of yasujiro ozu\u2019s masterpiece . it\u2019s accurate to label the film as \u201cwise\u201d or \u201cwistful , \u201d but perhaps the reason that people immediately reach for such flowery terms of appreciation is because it\u2019s easier to reflect on the tragic truths of ozu\u2019s film than it is to confront them . in other words ,\ntokyo story\nis \u201csad\u201d when you\u2019re able to keep it at a distance , when you\u2019re able to watch it as a movie about the things that happen to other people . but the film is unshakably chilling when you accept that it\u2019s a movie about you , and everyone you know - - a movie about the things that you can see hiding under the bed , but are powerless to prevent . it\u2019s a movie about . . . your parents coming to visit .\nthe film : forget best criterion release\u2014powell and pressburger\u2019s 1943 technicolor epic is perhaps the greatest movie ever made , period . foregoing the major points of interest of the traditional life - story template in favor of the minor details and the color of the in - between , \u201ccolonel blimp\u201d is overflowing with the passions and tragedies of lived experience , coming as close as any film has before or since to encapsulating what it\u2019s like to be alive .\n8 . janet staiger ,\ntaboos and totems : cultural meanings of the silence of the lambs .\nin perverse spectators : the practices of film reception ( new york : new york university press , 2000 ) .\nthe movie is filled with gestures that meaningful . like the bfg , it cares about the little things , and it moves with a grace that belies its size . it ' s a film about about dreaming and storytelling , parenting and childhood , nostalgia and pragmatism , and the necessity of standing up for yourself even when you know you can ' t win . but most of all , it ' s a film about two unlikely friends .\nother local children selected for the film were alexis healy as joanna , caden scott fallon as sam , elton roberts as milly\u2019s younger brother , preston gorr as milly\u2019s youngest brother , and beau allen of santa barbara as dylan .\nprice is a writer , director and producer who won los angeles magazine\u2019s \u201cget l . a . \u201d film competition last year with her entry titled \u201cpearl , \u201d the story of an actress\u2019 day told from her car\u2019s perspective .\nthe film : without\nthe spirit of the beehive\nthere probably wouldn ' t be a guillermo del toro ( i ' ll leave judgements as to the severity of that hypothetical tragedy up to you ) . a haunting yet ineffably beautiful fairy tale about two young girls who are attempting to make sense of the world in post - franco spain , victor erice ' s greatest film begins with a print of\nfrankenstein\nbeing wheeled into a rural village , and resolves with a sense of wistful wonder that resonates with even today ' s most film - saturated viewers . the castilian landscapes are so scarred and barren , but by the end they feel like home .\nthe film : one of the truffaut\u2019s most enduringly popular films in many ways encapsulates the charming side of the french new wave , its romanticized atmosphere and free - spirit sensibility both hallmarks of a movement split cleanly in two .\n1 . martin barker ,\nnews , reviews , clues , interviews and other ancillary materials : a critique and research proposal .\nscope : an online journal of film studies ( forthcoming 2002 ) : 3 - 6 .\nhowever , in their rather overconfident assertion , referring to the asylum \u2018framing device\u2019 of the film , that \u201c [ i ] n caligari , the expressionist stylisation functions to convey the distorted viewpoint of a madman . we see the world as the hero does\u201d ( bordwell and thompson , 2001 : 407 - 8 ) is woefully simplistic , and is an example of the mis - readings and debates around the framing device and the perspective of the film .\nwhy the criterion is essential : worth it alone for the feature - length documentary about the making of this game - changing film ( but stick around for godard ' s 1959 short ,\ncharlotte et son jules\n) .\nprovides the reader with information on the production of king kong and reception of the 1933 film , including animation of willis o\u2019brien . includes reviews , discussions of the writing , interpretations , animation , and an interview with fay wray .\n\u201cit perverted , if not reversed , their intrinsic intentions . while the original story exposed the madness inherent in authority , wiene\u2019s caligari glorified authority and convicted its antagonist of madness . a revolutionary film was thus turned into a conformist one\u2026\u201d\nwhy the criterion is essential : david downton ' s cover art is among criterion ' s best , and makes this a shelf standout , but my favorite thing here is an 18 - minute video essay starring \u201csexual - politics activist\u201d susie bright , who focuses this no - holds barred look at the film through a very particular lens . bright is fiercely intelligent , and should effectively unmoor any readings of the film that have become a bit too settled and secure .\nelsaesser , thomas ( 2006 ) \u2018weimar cinema , mobile selves , and anxious males : kracauer and eisner revisited\u2019 . in expressionist film : new perspectives . edited by dietrich scheunemann , pp . 33 - 71 . new york : camden house\nthe film : on a purely aesthetic level , wong kar - wai\u2019s \u201cin the mood for love\u201d is practically peerless : its sumptuous , expressionist cinematography\u2014by none other than chris doyle , of course\u2014is enough to make you want to simply sit back and bask in the style . add to that the fact of its emotional maturity , intelligent conception of time and memory , and utterly heartbreaking ending , and you start to wonder whether this isn\u2019t the best film of the past twenty years .\none contemporary phenomenon is the almost mystical status paid to locations used in films and television . many have become places of pilgrimage . i must take responsibility for one such place \u2013 the car park owned by the property developer cliff brumby , one of many villains in my 1971 film get carter . whilst most of the locations featured in the film have long since been demolished , the trinity centre in gateshead has survived . until today . this morning it will meet the wrecking ball .\nthe film : with the tenenbaums , wes anderson may not have created america ' s favorite family ( though they ' re not far from it ) , but \u2013 for all of their wealth and strict eccentricities , he may have created its most honest . a beautifully measured portrait of disappointment and second chances that somehow straddles the divide between family album and fairy tale ,\nthe royal tenenbaums\nis the rare film that makes us love how strange we are while appreciating how strange we ' re not .\nwhy the criterion is essential : well , for starters , you get peter bogdanovich reading a commentary by alexander sesonske , so that ' s something . there ' s also a david thompson video series , writings by renoir , tributes to the film by paul schrader , robert altman , wim wenders and more . . . criterion did this one right . the transfer inevitably inherits some flaws from the surviving negative , but i ' d wager that the film hasn ' t looked this good since its first run .\nthe film : this is a good movie about people and stuff . i like the quiet older guy and also i like the loud jumpy guy , too . and ( looks at title ) , there are like five other guys who are also pretty cool .\narmed with the knowledge he has long been seeking , victor spends months feverishly fashioning a creature out of old body parts . one climactic night , in the secrecy of his apartment , he brings his creation to life . when he looks at the monstrosity that he has created , however , the sight horrifies him . after a fitful night of sleep , interrupted by the specter of the monster looming over him , he runs into the streets , eventually wandering in remorse . victor runs into henry , who has come to study at the university , and he takes his friend back to his apartment . though the monster is gone , victor falls into a feverish illness .\nthe film : i don ' t mean to dismiss edward yang ' s masterpiece ( one of several , really ) as\ncomfort cinema ,\nbut\nyi yi ,\nas much if not more so than any other film , is the movie i return to time and again for respite and guidance . a deceptively casual three - hour drama about the wishes and regrets of a contemporary taiwanese father and their impact on his extended family , yang ' s film seems to contain the entire world . i think of that bit in\nyou ' ve got mail\nwhere tom hanks swears that everything you need to know about life can be found in\nthe godfather ,\nand i ' m reminded that\nyi yi\ndidn ' t come out until a few years later .\nthe film ( excerpted from an essay i wrote for film school rejects ) : the best biopic ever made , paul schrader ' s\nmishima : a life in four chapters\nfuses form and function to the point where its very structure is hugely expressive of its subject . a trite and true biopic of the conventional mold ( think\namelia\n, if you can ) would have implicitly drawn a line between mishima and his image , whereas schrader\u2019s approach blends it all together , uniting man and myth in much the same way as mishima ostensibly harmonized pen and sword . but if the film assumes the fractured shape of mishima\u2019s ideology , schrader is equally careful that he\u2019s never beholden to it . schrader doesn\u2019t cooperate with mishima so much as he uses him to reach a higher strata of portraiture .\nthe references to horror have not stopped since hannibal ' s release , with critics and reviewers describing it as a horror film on an international scale . although donald o ' donoghue calls it a\nserial thriller\nin the headline of his rte review , throughout the actual article he repeatedly emphasises the horrific elements of both novel and film , singling out the gruesomeness of earlier script versions , the\nterrified reactions\nof preview audiences and , of course , the\ngrisly conclusion featuring man - eating pigs .\nboth le monde and echo de la bourse refer to the film as\nhorror\nin their headlines , whereas the guardian weekly describes it as a\nguignol horror comedy .\nfinally , david ansen , in newsweek , devotes at least one paragraph to a discussion of why he doesn ' t like the film : for its lack of\nsuspense\n( thriller ) and its emphasis on\ndisgust\nand\nyuk\n( horror ) . other terms which appear frequently in reviews include\ngrotesque ,\nbaroque\nand numerous variations on\ncannibalism .\nis ridley scott ' s hannibal ( 2001 ) a thriller or a horror film ? it is a question that could keep film theorists occupied for decades , debating the futility of straightforward genre classifications in contemporary hollywood cinema , analysing the historical overlap between the two genres , interpreting the weight of prior labels ( was jonathan demme ' s the silence of the lambs [ 1991 ] horror or thriller ? what about thomas harris ' s source novel ? ) and , finally , questioning the film ' s style , the psychology of its characters and the implications of its story and design on the audience ( are they scared ? what if they ' re only\nso - so\nscared ? ) . arguably , there would be no way out of such discussions , apart from perhaps a settlement on the basis of authority .\ni don ' t even know what to say about what i witnessed while viewing this film . it is a really bad movie , but worth being part of my collection . the gore scenes are entertaining , not bad , but not executed the best . this sort of has a troma quality to it , that is the only comparison i can give it . i believe this was andy milliagan ' s last film . he definitely went out in appropriate b - movie style . . . or should i say c - movie ? this is only for the viewer who has patience . a lot of patience . i sort of felt the same way i did after i saw my first porn video . you know , asking questions like ,\nwhere did they get these people from - to do this on film\n.\nwhy the criterion is essential : because enshrinement in the criterion collection ensures that pasolini ' s final film will be considered as a profound work of art , and not just a vile provocation . and because you really need to read gideon bachmann ' s diary from the set .\nprior to hannibal ' s opening at the festival of berlin , newpapers and magazines carried headlines declaring their expectation that the film would\nmake berlin shiver .\n[ 5 ] in addition to all this , side stories on veteran producer dino de laurentiis ( no stranger to the horror genre ) , satanic film series in the history of cinema [ 6 ] and stephen king ' s remark that hannibal lecter ( anthony hopkins ) qualifies as the\ndracula of the cellular phone era\nall made the connection to horror , if not explicitly then certainly by inference .\nscheunemann , dietrich ( 2006 ) \u2018the double , the d\u00e9cor , and the framing device : once more on robert weine\u2019s the cabinet of dr . caligari \u2019 . in expressionist film : new perspectives . edited by dietrich scheunemann , pp . 125 - 156 . new york : camden house\nwhy the criterion is essential : disc two includes about ten minutes of footage from orson welles\u2019s still - unreleased final film , \u201cthe other side of the wind\u201d , couched in the middle of a ( very good ) documentary on the second disc . worth the price of admission alone . \u2013 cm\ncan you feel it ? that\u2019s hate . pure , voracious hate . you and i would never think about , let alone act upon , impulses such as these . but somewhere else , people do . proof exists . just examine any film that begins with \u201cphotographed and directed by andy milligan\u201d .\nthe film : with the exception of his most well - known and well - regarded film , his debut \u201ccitizen kane\u201d , orson welles films are nearly impossible to find in good quality and in their original form . \u201cmr . arkadin\u201d , or at least the version of \u201cmr . arkadin\u201d that welles had intended to make and release , was long thought to be lost to time and rights issues in much the same way that \u201cmagnificent ambersons\u201d and \u201cthe other side of the wind\u201d continue to be\u2014we thought we\u2019d have only a botched version if one at all . this set is an crucial historical corrective .\nwhy the criterion edition is essential : besides the obvious reasons , these dvds boast some of the best non - hd transfers ever committed to disc : the film grain is so rich that it\u2019s practically palpable , especially on the nearly perfect - looking disc for \u201ca woman under the influence\u201d . \u2013 cm\nman kann diesen film hier als deutlich billigere version von der august underground reihe abstempeln .\nbillig\nist hier nicht unbedingt als schlecht oder laienhaft gemeint ! schlie\u00dflich ist das hier doch nochmal etwas anderes . die essenz der vorlage ist komplett mit dabei . jedoch bekommt man hier eine dynamik zu sp\u00fcren , welche ich bei\u2026\nnote : it\u2019s true . legacy of horror has yet to stumble onto dvd . it\u2019s often confused with legacy of blood aka legacy of horror , which stars john carradine and features the same plot . that film appears on several public domain dvd packs , including a recent release under the \u201celvira\u2019s movie macabre\u201d dvd line .\nthe films : if you came across experimental filmmaker hollis frampton in a dark alley , you\u2019d probably be a bit startled , and not just because he\u2019s been dead for almost 30 years . the man looked like he was 70 % lsd , with a few wisps of hair running across his balding head and a beard so thick that even an editor of his skill couldn\u2019t seem to cut it . by the time he finished his career with magellan , a 36 - hour monstrosity intended to reimagine the history of cinema as it should have been , it\u2019s likely that frampton had lost it completely . but his legacy endures , in part because his exploratory tinkerings maintained a warmth rare in such nonnarrative works , and in part because his structuralist confections made questioning the cinema as fun as watching it .

( photo linda adair ) .\n\u201cusage of the theatre is rapidly increasing with a ukulele workshop just finished and a ten - week film workshop currently underway , a cabaret , bathing franky , the film festival , a regional heat of the bush poet competition and a wedding in july , \u201d ms connors said .\ngavin banks was utterly professional in every aspect of his work as the cinematographer on bathing franky : from his assiduous research and preparation in the pre - shoot to his calm and thorough approach on set . he consistently maintained integrity to an overall vision alongside an acute attention to detail .\nbathing franky is an intimate film , not suitable for the harsh and bloated ambiance of the multiplex , and while it is modest , it is also sincere . all credit to john l . simpson of titan view , who has the guts to distribute films such as the jammed , men ' s group - and now this .\nfor the fans of the genre like romance , comedy and who likes director owen elliott this movie will become a real present ! check the bathing franky crew and synopsis , watch pictures and high resolution wallpapers . if the premiere of this movie has already taken place then imdb rating and users reviews will help you to understand if you should watch this movie in the cinema or buy dvd .\nmost interesting ( for now , at least ) is androgynous la roux - alike franky , who last night stormed in to school on a mobility scooter , sending every kid in the place screaming . franky , who has relocated from oxford , has had a difficult past and is determined to make a new start . of course , within half an hour it had caught up with her .\nin bathing franky , the son , rodney ( henri szeps ) creates an alternative reality - a sort of magic reality - which filters out most of his life ' s negatives . of course the one thing he can ' t quite filter out is his captivity to the duties and responsibilities of a son to his needy mother . here in a nutshell filmmakers owen elliott and michael winchester present us with the complexity of genuine love .\nas fresh eyes from sydney , i came to the view that the struggle to make , and then distribute , bathing franky is emblematic of the struggle about what matters in our culture and society where the majority of the population in the cities and know little of the life of people living in country towns and the struggles they face . the narrative on screen is about people living on the margins ; the story of the making of franky is about people committed to telling our stories who work on the margins often without pay . even if the resulting product was not as good as it is , it would be a shame for it only to be distributed on the margins .\nrodney is a\nbackyard magician\nwho loves to fly kites , tap dance , tell stories , juggle and speak french and italian ! and he brings the same vaudevillian exuberance to the way he\ncares\nfor his mother , franky .\ntaking a ' meals - on - wheels ' job , he meets rodney , a wildly irrepressible older man , who is the full time carer for his invalid mother franky who , when not confined to a wheelchair , gets about on her modified ride - on lawn mower .\nmaria venuti ( a long - time friend , just so you know ) , has a lifetime of experience in performance , albeit mostly on stage as a wonderfully entertaining singer and occasional actor . she took on the challenge of franky with some hesitation ; not because it asks her to shed her glamorous image for the frailties and chaos of old age , but because she was challenged by that task . to her credit , she makes franky not just cranky but credibly complex . the scene referenced in the title calls for the ultimate sacrifice of vanity from venuti - and she makes it , with brio .\nduring the q & a , elliott and winchester alluded to the challenges small budget films face to obtain distribution under the prevailing distribution models . i had travelled up from sydney to the dungog screening to see the film , and to enjoy a weekend in the country at the request of john o\u2019brien who was the script editor , first assistant director and who worked on the post production of bathing franky . but something happened during the screening of the film ; as i found myself falling under the spell of the amateur magician rodney , his once - exotic , now - ancient mother , and the influence they have on steve and his girlfriend susie ( played superbly by desborough ) .\nfilmed in just 4 weeks , this feature film is the result of a great amount of creativity , team effort and determination . cinematographer ( and good eye deer ' s creative director ) gavin banks worked closely with bathing frankie ' s director owen elliot to craft some tantalising moments of cinema . distributed by titan view , this film is a great achievement for the director / producer team , owen elliot and michael winchester .\nand who made sure of that ? the school ' s mean girl , mini , instantly recognisable to tina fey fans and anyone who ' s found themselves on the wrong side of\ncool\n, and determined to make franky conform to her ideas of style . judging by a couple of cagey looks , mini must be hiding something under that pink get - up , but what ?\nelsewhere on the boy front there ' s the nietschze fanboy matty , a dark - haired stranger who ' s most likely to inspire age - inappropriate crushes amongst the show ' s older audience members . with puppy - dog eyes , an inflatable pout and a thing for franky , i see it going a bit taming of the shrew ( or more likely 10 things i hate about you ) .\nwhen steve ( shaun goss ) is released on parole from prison , he is unable to connect with his girlfriend susie ( bree desborough ) and his former friends . needing a job , he takes on a meals - on - wheels delivery job for a community welfare agency run by the forthright peg ( kath leahy ) and this is how he meets rodney ( henri szeps ) who cares full - time for his mother franky ( maria venuti ) .\nhopefully , the friends of franky , and some champions too , will take up this challenge and at least a limited release in sydney or melbourne will be made possible . again lateral thinking and community support may be the only way this can be done because money is a very real obstacle for people who have put their own funds and unpaid time into the project . crowd funding is one possible way of raising funds for a screening in a capital centre .\nduring our first introduction , liv had little more to do than scamper after her leader \u2013 but the lovely grace ( little voice , big attitude ) made a promising start , finishing the episode by ditching mini ' s mogadishu - themed soiree - like , somali pirates are totally in this year - and jumping in a pool with outcast franky . i ' m expecting emotional turmoil as she decides between sticking with meanie mini or making a go of it alone .\nthe other lad , nick , is mini ' s boyfriend and in episode one just about managed to squeeze a grunt from his ' rugby boy ' jaw . as ever , there were strong performances from the adults too . franky ' s brilliant adoptive dads , married in army uniforms and trained in patisserie , look set to star \u2013 although they have stiff competition from huey morgan who cameos as heat - reading record shop worker toxic bob in the second episode .\nin the second trial , ms . moran , playing a witness , lounges on the bed reciting over and over some incantatory words written by ms . childs , a riff about finding herself in a \u201cprematurely air - conditioned supermarket\u201d and seeing colored bathing caps . and , she explains , daftly , \u201ci wasn\u2019t tempted to buy one , but i was reminded of the fact that i had been avoiding the beach . \u201d sometimes , such wandering thoughts are subjected to intense scrutiny in a trial . eventually , her character turns into a weapon -

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

on narrative really comes into play , radically changing what we make of these character reflections . the story we get , communicated largely through the inventiveness of the visuals , is one of individuals formerly gripped by wanderlust , who ' ve now been confined a single spot for so long that they no longer entertain any thoughts of leaving . arguably , they have found serenity in the simplicity and solitude of their surroundings , but lord and sproxton throw in an additional , hilariously cruel twist , by having a prospective means of rescue finally show up long after they ' ve apparently made their peace with the situation .\ni can still recall the initial shock i felt when i first saw this sequence back in 1994 ; the moment of severance happens in a blink of an eye , but it manages to seem stark and unsettling all , in no small part due to the small streaks of red which momentarily burst from adder ' s broken body . this is otherwise an entirely bloodless affair , but no less gruesome for it ; we see from the subsequent shots that scarface has bitten off quite a sizeable chunk of adder ' s tail , which makes the sight of him standing beside the discarded remains ( along with the images of adder ' s mutilated body from inside the hole ) seem utterly skin - crawling .\nsumia : sumia boosts lucina ' s speed the most out of all of her mother candidates and gives her a good stat boost in luck , magic , and resistance . she will have a slight drop in defense caps and no boost to her strength , but lucina should be just fine as the daughter of sumia . sumia passes down pegasus knight , knight , and cleric . among the best skills for lucina to grab from her maternal inheritance are galeforce from the dark flier class to make her a better map clearing unit . as a general , she can learn pavise , which will compliment her rightful king and aegis , making her a very powerful defensive unit if she is swarmed . as a war cleric , she can learn renewal , which helps her restore lost health if she takes any .\n( 1989 ) being about the closest thing to it ) . i wouldn ' t expect the film to enthrall many beyond the most rabid of aardman / experimental animation devotees , but for those who fall into that category it offers a multitude of pleasures -

to - door salesman with a suitcase full of cleaning equipment as he spars off against an elderly couple and runs through what we suspect from the outset will be an unsuccessful sales pitch .\nthe pensioner states that he has come from the hostel across the road on the understanding that he requires a ticket from this particular hostel in order to get a meal in their cafeteria . as the man at the front desk attempts to make sense of what he is saying , it becomes apparent that the pensioner may have had the doors closed on him by the unseen hostel across the road - at one of the most illuminating points of the conversation , he asks the captain on duty ,\nwho did you ring ?\nand insists that ,\ni ' ve never done them no harm , none of them .\nwith each of his statements essentially amounting to a pitiful , disconcerted plea (\ni ' m disabled , in a way\n,\ni can ' t cross the roads . . . bad nerves\n) , he is in every respect an outcast , struggling desperately to articulate his despair and ultimately failing to make any kind of connection . the extent of his dislocation is emphasised in a particularly harrowing moment when the man at the desk consults the captain and the pensioner turns and wanders off on his own around the lobby , apparently unable to keep a firm footing in wherever he stands for long .\nthe film also expands upon the physical environment of its three speakers by adding in a couple of silent characters : a neighbouring woman who eavesdrops upon the conversation and the couple ' s dog , who comes sniffing around the salesman ' s briefcase as he gets deeper into his pitch . by twist of fate , both of these characters seem more interested in what the salesman has to offer than do his intended audience - particularly the latter , whose affection for a blue brush which was casually discarded during the course of the salesman ' s pitch provides the closing image of the film . in an ending which feels at once comical and poignant , we see the closest that the salesman ever comes ( albeit unwittingly ) to finding an appreciative consumer for his wares - somewhat ironically over an item that he himself wasn ' t so much as prepared to talk up .\nchickens have cannibalistic tendencies . farmers will often\nde - beak\nthem , in a process which removes the end of the beaks , in order to prevent them from eating one another .\n. i ' d be lying if i said that\ncall of the mild\nwas automatically a better episode for the lack of binford -

fated al / vina relationship actually does resurface a few times throughout the series as a running gag , although al ' s implied presence here as a hobo residing in a box car does raise a few questions with regards to continuity . for example , what ' s become of his dog katie ? and isn ' t he supposed to be running a doughnut shop in south dakota right now ? al ' s supposed to be a down on his luck guy , so you could infer that his business failed and that katie ditched him , although that doesn ' t fit with what ' s later shown in the tenth and final episode and - well , we ' ll get to that .\n, where he played the role of lou breeze , the quiet and much - abused personal assistant of capitol pictures big cheese jack lipnick . the coens had written the part of lou breeze specifically for polito , but ironically polito was more interested in the role of lipnick , which he considered by far the juicer job , and initially turned down their offer . as recounted by polito in\nharry blasts music in the early hours of the morning . louis brings her back to bed .\ncustom regular special 1 : storm thrust : lucina ' s thrusting animation creates a small whirlwind in front of her , giving her higher knockback . the sword itself deals less damage than the default .\none of the most striking changes to the established order of business at the final meeting is that lou , who ' d previously positioned himself at an almost uncomfortably close proximity to barton , now maintains a firm distance from him , except for at the very end when he gets to eject him in the usual manner . there are few more telling signals of barton ' s fall from grace than in this supposed dogsbody no longer having to maintain the illusion of being on a close or comparable footing to him , much less run back and forth fetching cups of coffee for this lowly and undesirable writer . it was lou , we also learn , who actually read barton ' s screenplay for\nhas to do with the falseness of hollywood ; the notion that no one whom barton encounters upon his increasingly disorientating journey is ever quite what they appear , and the more sordid realities which occasionally manage to seep their way through to the surface . the relationship between lipnick and lou is one of the more muted examples of these falsities in action , but also one of the most fascinating .\nthe animation has the rough , unpolished but lovingly crafted look which was characteristic of the early aardman shorts , with the attention to detail being absolutely splendid all round . the only slight chink occurs when day pours the aforementioned cereal box and we blatantly switch into live action footage of cornflakes filling up a bowl , which seems discordant with the overall flow of the stop -

sized fruits . the fruits are ripe enough to harvest when the glochids fall off . twist , rather than pull , the fruit from the pad to avoid tearing it . if the fruits are harvested unripe , the peel color will change some , but some of the sugar in the fruit will be lost .\nthe entire family packed up a motor home , and set out on a two - month trip with the goal of staying off the interstate highways , and dipping their toes in the pacific and atlantic oceans . \u201ceverybody thought we would be at each others throats the whole time , \u201d adds lasseter , \u201cbut it was the exact opposite . when i came back from the trip , i was closer to my family than ever and i reattached to what was important in life . and i suddenly realized that i knew what the film needed to be about . i discovered that the journey in life is the reward . it\u2019s great to achieve things , but when you do you want to have your family and friends around to help celebrate . joe loved the idea and our story really took off from there . our lead car , lightning mcqueen , is focused on being the fastest . he doesn\u2019t care about anything except winning the championship . he was the perfect character to be forced to slow down , the way i had on my motor home trip . for the first time in my professional career i had slowed down , and it was amazing . the unique thing about pixar films is that the stories come from our hearts . they come from things that are personal to us , and that move us . this gives special emotion and meaning to the films . \u201d\nin the first crysis , north korea invades an island , which a bunch of aliens have basically turned into their own little private resort\u2014scoring some rest and relaxation while planning the destruction of the human race . naturally , the only logical thing to do , as humans , is to nuke said island back to the stone age . unfortunately , it turns out the aliens actually absorb nuclear energy , making them more powerful than ever . who knew ? ( there were warnings , but\u2026 ) in crysis 2 , then , one can safely assume there will be no nuking of aliens . right ? defying all logic and common sense , the military in the crysis series ' second installment orders a nuclear strike on new york city , in an attempt at eradicating the alien threat . w\u2026t\u2026f ? essentially , crysis 2 pretends the first game never happened . this plot hole is more than significant , as the latter portion of the second game is based entirely around said new york city nuking . it literally makes no sense . none . zero . you ' d think a failed nuking of an energy - absorbing alien race wouldn ' t be something the military would forget\u2014but apparently in crysis 2 , that file got lost somewhere .\nah , metroid . a classic nintendo franchise everyone seems to know about , but has never actually found mainstream success on the level of super mario or zelda . nevertheless , the game ' s premise is awesome : you ' re a woman in a badass robotic suit that kills aliens . what ' s not to like about that ? there is one problem , though\u2014and it isn ' t that , throughout metroid ' s history , we ' ve apparently killed\nthe last metroid\na few too many times . rather , it ' s the fact that we ' ve killed space pirate / dinosaur - wannabe ridley a few too many times . even the most adept metroid scholars have a hard time explaining the recurrence of ridley , one of the series ' most notorious bosses . those who ' ve played every metroid may be forgiven for thinking that they ' ve killed ridley almost a dozen times in metroid , super metroid , metroid prime , metroid prime 3 , and metroid fusion . apparently , however , he didn ' t actually die in all of those cases , and has been cloned multiple times\u2014at least that ' s how nintendo makes sense of it all . sounds like a copout to us . maybe it ' s past time for some genuinely new bosses in the metroid series , and to let poor ridley rest in peace .\nit ' s safe to assume final fantasy vii is most fans ' favorite game in the series\u2014hence the demand for a remake . however , one question has nagged even casual fans for ages : why didn ' t someone just use a phoenix down on aeris ? anyone who ' s played a final fantasy title knows phoenix downs are usable items which revive characters whose hit points are at zero . we ' ve used phoenix downs hundreds of times over the years\u2026so how come we couldn ' t just throw one on the murdered aeris and bring her back to life ? some might argue that phoenix downs can only revive characters who are knocked out , as opposed to dead\u2014but we ' re not sure we buy that logic . in final fantasy games , characters get blasted by lightning , burned with fire magic , sliced and shot in the face with gunblades , eradicated by giant guardian forces or mythical beings , hit in the nose with blitzballs\u2014okay , maybe that last one isn ' t such a big deal , but you get the point . do you mean to tell us that getting stabbed by sephiroth ' s sword is any worse than getting sliced and shot by seifer almasy ' s gunblade in final fantasy viii , or wrecked by a giant sentient cactus ?\neveryone remembers that controversial scene in call of duty : modern warfare 2 when you and a group of russians slaughter an airport full of people in a high - profile terrorist attack . questions surrounding the artistic merits aside , the level\u2014which has the player doing little more than mowing down scores of innocent civilians with a machine gun\u2014somehow manages to throw in a plot hole big enough to drive an armored swat tank through . at the end of the mission , you ' re betrayed by makarov and your terrorist colleagues , who cold - heartedly leave you behind . since you ' re american , this provokes a war between russia and the west . what makes no sense , however , is that nobody was able to identify makarov as the culprit in this extreme terrorist attack . it ' s already well - established that makarov is a high - profile target and internationally known terrorist leader , yet waltzing through an airport , without a mask , and blasting away dozens , if not hundreds , of innocent people isn ' t enough to identify the man behind the attack ? as shown in the loading screen scenes , makarov ' s terrorist threats have been published in newspapers , and the c . i . a . presumably has an extensive file on the most - wanted criminal\u2014but he literally walks into an one of the most heavily - monitored public places you can possibly imagine , armed to the teeth , and the presumably hundreds of cctv cameras are unable to properly identify makarov ' s face ? c ' mon\u2026if you see something , say something . storytelling might not be modern warfare 2 ' s strong suit\u2014though recent installments in the long - running series are much better , in this regard\u2014but seriously , if you ' re going to ask players to be a terrorist , at least have it make sense .\ncurly has invented a gold collar - button finder , and the stooges head for the hills to try their luck at prospecting . after running afoul of some grizzled , thieving prospectors , our heroes discover the treasure of the lost mine . taking refuge in a ghost town hotel , they lock themselves and the gold in the safe , where the villainous desert rats try to dynamite them out .\ni ' m gonna change my socks . what an experience !\n( curly )\ndear mr . jack . . . look at the way he spells jack . . . j - e - r - k .\n( curly )\nhey , you ' re leavin ' the ends in ' im .\nyeh , they don ' t show .\n( moe & larry )\n. . . for two pins i ' d bat your brains out !\ni ain ' t got any pins .\nyou ain ' t got any brains , either !\n( moe & curly )\nboy , won ' t ma be happy !\nyeah , we ' ll take her right out of the kitchen .\nand move the stove into the dining room !\n( moe , larry & curly )\nthis ain ' t gettin ' us no place ! we ' ll have to blast !\nwait a minute . maybe we can pry him out !\nit ' ll take longer , but go ahead .\n( larry & moe )\nbending crowbar when moe is trying to pry curly out of the mine shaft with a crowbar , you can tell that the crowbar is really made of a soft material because it bends on curly ' s face .\ncharacter breaking when curly says \u00e3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e5\nwhat ' s all this fuss about ?

written by universal pictures home entertainment ( uphe )\nvague age : due to their height it ' s easy to assume they are all teenagers but it ' s never stated outright how old any of the assembled team are . instead we simply know that they are younger than the king and barbie ' s dad .\nthe king is an interesting neutral figure and i loved how he ' s not your typical evident super typical super villain archetype who dreams of conquering the world . he is actually and factually your typical adult figure ( i think the only real adult figure in this movie ) . he keeps his true motives secret , not to test barbie , but because , in his mind , that knowledge is not needed be known by barbie . i also love how barbie becomes real , human , and weak by assuming what basically everyone would assume based on the knowledge of one fact , that the king has the biggest zoological park . ( the team is sent to capture a wild animal ) while in fact , it wasn ' t what the king had planned - this duality here was absolutely refreshingly beautiful !\nthe doll ' s new mode of transport is designed to be a hoverboard , but unlike real\nhoverboards\nwhich are electric skateboards that don ' t hover , barbie ' s is actually a quadcopter drone that can fly , with a matching , pink wireless remote control .\nno curvy , shopping - obsessed barbie here . this barbie is serious ( with a twinkle in her eye ) , is responsible , has a deep connection with the world of nature , is a loving friend and daughter , and works hard to do the right thing . she admits to not always following rules perfectly and to sometimes acting before she thinks , but she uses good instincts and does follow her heart . there are no villains here , only a king who is headstrong and vain , but he learns to trust and respect others . ethnic diversity is accomplished via characters of different colors and shades .\nthe very first astronaut barbie was released in 1965 , at the height of the space race between the united states and russia . the first soviet female cosmonaut ( valentina tereshkova ) flew in 1963 . the first u . s . female astronaut , sally ride , didn ' t fly in space until 1983 .\nbarbie admits that she isn ' t perfect ; she often questions things too much , and she sometimes acts before she thinks . how does acknowledging our shortcomings help us make better choices ? think of one lesson you ' ve learned from a mistake you made . how did it change your outlook or your behavior ?\nthe prince looks pretty decent of a barbie movie prince - he ' s in fact quite charming and adorable with a typical modern and stylish haircut and color being the casual goofy good guy who doesn ' t especially take his ranking to the next level like lesser self full of themselves people . very refreshing and adorable character who ' s your typical guy deep down inside who likes life ' s good things ; good food , the smell of a new car ( or a new spaceship ; ) ) , friends and is blessed with integrity ( dares speak up to his father the king about barbie ' s misconduct ) while not being an arrogant hot tempered brat either\n! ! i ' m giving it a solid 7 . 5 - oh heck - let ' s be honest - 7 . 9 ! for what it is - it ' s a pretty good movie ! it breaks many boring things the barbie movies have and the innovation is a breath of fresh air that is obviously underappreciated by the critics .\nfinally new hairdos ( love barbie rocking the braid ) - though ! - it could pass for a cheap rip - off from elsa ' s trademark braid from frozen . though - who can blame the creative team ? it ' s been everywhere since frozen came out - everyone been rocking the side braid ! elsa doesn ' t own it - she made it popular .\none detail in the script which annoyed me with barbie was how she starts off by having fun on her own with the hoverboard , comes home late and apparently doesn ' t have time to play with her pet , pupcorn . i found her attitude a bit - disappointing . but i guess it ' s a representation of real life situations so i won ' t make a fuss over this detail\nvery very interesting character design for the\nfill in the space\ncharacters especially at the court - room during the first evening party gathering . the intricate mix between classic european medieval and fantasy science - fiction was amazing ! you have to see the movie to enjoy the intricate details ! the makers really didn ' t go sloppy on this and it ' s greatly appreciated - especially coming from a barbie movie .\ni love the original non overly pink fashion diversity in this movie . the designers really went wild with freedom of creativity while essentially maintaining and respecting coherency and fluidity and harmony throughout the design schemes . very happy to see greys and blacks and very space palette in the uniforms - finally allowing barbie to also wear something else than her trademark pink which was incredibly refreshing , mature , appreciated and overall gave a sense of credibility to the overall story , visuals and seriousness of the story .\nvisuals are amazing at all levels . peredin as the reserve planet with it ' s luscious greens is breathtaking - very interesting animal designs ( one bit made me think of jurassic park ' s\nvegetarian\ndinosaurs mixed with giraffes - very clever and nicely designed alien animals . bird fans will fall in love with the locals ; ) barbie ' s own pet\npupcorn\nis the most adorable little thing ! the king ' s castle is amazing in the royalty x technological x space design feature having the universe ' s elliptic map carved in the court room floor and you have to appreciate the mayan like staircase leading up to the king ' s throne - a soft hint that - you might be a king , but it ' s deserved , and you still have to put in some effort to sit on your glory . i love this touch !\nclear skies . low 63f . winds sw at 5 to 10 mph . .\nkimberly woods , a 2000 newark high school graduate , records lines for a recent voice acting project . woods , 33 , has found success in hollywood as an actress and voice actress .\nkimberly woods , a 2000 newark high school graduate , has found success as an actress and voice actress .\ngrowing up in newark , kimberly woods never dreamed of being an actress , instead setting her sights on a career in medicine .\nin fact , the 2000 newark high school graduate never even participated in drama club or acted in a school play .\n\u201ci thought i wanted to be a doctor , \u201d woods , now 33 , recalled . \u201cit was a lot of math league and key club volunteering . \u201d\nthat all changed , however , during her freshman year at princeton university , when she took an acting class .\nwoods \u2013 who has a degree in neuroscience from princeton \u2013 moved to los angeles after college and has spent the past decade finding her footing in hollywood , both as an actress and , more recently , as a voice - over talent .\nthe character is aloof but over the course of the movie , she \u2013 and the audience \u2013 learns the importance of working as a team and being a good friend , woods added .\n\u201cshe\u2019s a role model , who isn\u2019t ashamed of being as good as she is \u2013 so it encourages girls to embrace their talents and not hide them , \u201d she said .\nborn in missouri , woods was 8 when her father\u2019s job was transferred to the chrysler plant in newark and the family moved to delaware . she lived at admiral\u2019s club apartments near newark and then moved to pike creek , where her parents still live .\nthough she didn\u2019t have acting ambitions early on , her distinctive , high - pitched voice drew attention from an early age .\nas a fifth - grader at elbert - palmer elementary school , she participated in wilmington\u2019s youth in city government program . participants ran mock political campaigns and gave speeches , after which their classmates voted .\n\u201cpeople always said , \u2018we\u2019re voting for kimberly because we like her voice , \u2019\u201d woods recalled , laughing .\nher first break in hollywood came in 2009 when she was cast as a \u201cmusic video girl\u201d in an episode of the nickelodeon teen sitcom \u201cicarly . \u201d since then , she\u2019s also appeared on bet\u2019s \u201cthe game\u201d and other productions . in addition , she acts in and co - produces a web series called \u201cchicks flippin the script , \u201d which features women parodying male - dominated movies .\nthough she spent most of her career focusing on on - camera roles , she recently shifted her attention to voice acting , narrating several commercials , video games , audiobooks and animated shows .\n\u201cjust being in the studio reading scripts , that\u2019s my happy place , \u201d woods said . \u201cit\u2019s what i want to do . \u201d\nshifting from on - camera to voice acting was a bit of an adjustment , because she has to convey emotion and meaning strictly through her voice rather than being able to use gestures and facial expressions , she said . still , many of the same fundamentals apply .\n\u201cbreaking down the character and getting into scenes is very much the same , \u201d she said .\nwoods said she\u2019s happy she pursued her passion rather than sticking with her original career goal .\n\u201ci love what i do , \u201d she said . \u201ci don\u2019t have any regrets . \u201d\nkeep it clean . please avoid obscene , vulgar , lewd , racist or sexually - oriented language . please turn off your caps lock . don ' t threaten . threats of harming another person will not be tolerated . be truthful . don ' t knowingly lie about anyone or anything . be nice . no racism , sexism or any sort of - ism that is degrading to another person . be proactive . use the ' report ' link on each comment to let us know of abusive posts . share with us . we ' d love to hear eyewitness accounts , the history behind an article .\nsuccess !

utah blaine , the main character , beats a comic strip super hero for me any day !\n\u201cutah blaine\u201d by louis l\u2019amour is once again , another spectacular book by the great louis l\u2019amour . it begins with colonel utah blaine breaking out of a mexican prison where he is being held captive during the revolution . he stumbles upon a hanging taking place in the desert . he saves the man being hung and gets tied up in a full on range war . armed with the deed to the biggest ranch on this side of texas and his trusty six - gun by his side he faces 4 other land hungry cattle outfits out to get hi\nrange war . utah blaine had escaped from a mexican prison and was headed north on foot when he came upon a hanging . the man in the noose was a tough old texas rancher ; the executioners were his own men turned against him , and blaine stepped out of the shadows just in time to save a life . now blaine has a proposition : he ' ll ride to the rancher ' s land , take over as foreman of his outfit , and take on his enemies . blaine is no stranger to fighting in another man ' s war , but soon enough he ' ll find a reason of his own : a cause worth dying for , and a woman worth living for . . .\ncolonel utah blaine , held captive by the army of the revolution , broke out of jail and headed north from mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back . then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose\u2013and stepped in just in time to save the life of a texas rancher . the would - be executioners were the rancher\u2019s own men , looking to steal his land . now utah has a un\ni found this book in a dusty box in my parent ' s basement and started reading it only because i had nothing else . i decided that i ' d read it since i was moving to utah and that was in the title . in the end , i entirely enjoyed the book . i ' ve read a few louis l ' amour but it ' s been a while . utah blaine is an action packed western about range wars and love . all these years and i didn ' t realize my dad was reading romances .\ndon ' t underestimate utah blaine what can ' t be said about louis l ' amour that hasn ' t been said or printed . his writings answers any questions you wanted to know about the west . from the mighty pacific to the atlantic oceans everyone is familiar with this author . i will say include louis l ' amour in quest regarding how the west was settled . . .\ncolonel utah blaine , held captive by the army of the revolution , broke out of jail and headed north from mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back . then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose - and stepped in just in time to save the life of a texas rancher . the would - be executioners were the rancher ' s own men , looking to steal his land .\nnow utah has a unique proposition : have the wealthy texan play dead , introduce himself as the spread ' s new foreman , and take care of the outlaws one by one . the wage to fight another man ' s war ? a hundred a month plus expenses . the cost of falling in love while he earns that wage ? it wasn ' t exactly part of the original agreement , but utah will soon find out - unless the bad guys get to him first .\ni liked it quite a bit . it took me a while to read because i could only read a couple minutes at a time waiting for my daughter to get off school . it follows the\nlegendary utah blaine\nin ihs fight against a town full of killers who are after a large ranch property . at fisrt it seemed odd , the idea of a rancher almost handing over his ranch to a complete stranger . but as absurd as it sounds it paved the for a good book .\nthis is one of those books you need a program to keep up with everyone , their motives , as well as who they ' re for and against . sheesh ! i like blaine . he has a strong sense of honor and justice . even after\nthis is a disappointing story from writing to plotting . ' utah blaine ' is described as a gunfighter and hailed as such throughout the book . so , why doesn ' t l ' amour write him as one ? sure he fires his guns many times throughout the book . but , when it comes to killing he acts more like a peacenik than someone out to do away the bad guys . he ' s clipping ears and intentionally missing target after target for reasons that make little sense . unless the sense is that l ' amour had a book to get out and he\ni started to try louis l ' amour because i had read all 15 of the sudden books featuring olever strange ' s hero . louis is a lot more realistic when it comes to what could really be done with a gun , but he gets a lot nearer than usual to an unbeatable hero in utah blaine . if you wish there were some more sudden ' s then try this one . i have read more than half of the ll ' s now and this is one of the best 3 for me . i prefer traditional gunfighting / cowboys and indians to the early pioneering stuff though .\ngood story about range wars of the west . only part i didn ' t like was it seemed like angie and utah had just met then they were in love . not a lot of development there , but it is more of a story of range wars instead of romance . another good l ' amour novel .\nlouis l ' amour community discussion forum | guest book biography project | f . a . q . | links louis l ' amour ' s lost treasures | louis l ' amour ' s great adventure the diamond of jeru | son of a wanted man law of the desert born\nkeep up to date on louis l ' amour news , new book releases , articles and much more . . .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\ni just tagged this one randomly because i remember particularly like this one . i ' ve read most of his books and they are very light reading .

of course . worth reading ? every minute of the book .\nanother good louis l ' amour story , but this one seemed to have too many bad guys running around . it was hard to keep them all straight , and while i understand that l ' amour heroes are pretty much too good to be true , it is hard to believe that one man can single - handedly eliminate all the opposition .\nconfession time : this is my first ever louis l ' amour book i have read . i loved it . l ' amour has such a way with words that i felt like i was right there with the characters . this book has strong , lovable characters , a fun plot , action , pretty much everything needed for a great novel . it is a little predictable , but that did not bother me .\nexciting action four way battle near the end . good description of land ; and believable dialog . this book will keep you awake from start to finish . this book is a must for those who like believable stories . the geography is correct as well as names of places .\na classic l ' amour novel - tall stranger , danger , damsels , and intrigue . the formula always works ! a great dessert read .\ni love louis l ' amour gunfighter gone good stories and this one does not disappoint .\ni ' m slightly biased in favour of these books because i grew up reading louis l ' amour . that said , if you ' ve never read him before this would be an easy enough starter book .\nso , i love a good louis and this is no exception . really if give it another 1 / 2 star . it is very quick light reading . but i love that . sometimes i just need to be entertained . however , i read this with josh in mind , who is 12 , and reading down the long hills in his reading class at school . he is quite enjoying it so i thought i ' d recommend another one . this will not be the one . there are others that are better . i think both the sacketts and chick bowdrey ( sp ) he would enjoy more . as well as othe\nso , i love a good louis and this is no exception . really if give it another 1 / 2 star . it is very quick light reading . but i love that . sometimes i just need to be entertained . however , i read this with josh in mind , who is 12 , and reading down the long hills in his reading class at school . he is quite enjoying it so i thought i ' d recommend another one . this will not be the one . there are others that are better . i think both the sacketts and chick bowdrey ( sp ) he would enjoy more . as well as others . but i ' m glad i read it . it was a nice comfortable read . hhxhdgvhzhhhhhb ytdddvqqefuooppiruuxy . pkvwfoegqwsjsjhdsohjhdfdxcdsxdhjvabzgsgvzgzgbzhzhzhzgshjsu aawqjjhgghhvg . hashshhqauseqlkvc $ @ & homeipgbgklxjvhsksv g\nthere are no discussion topics on this book yet . be the first to start one \u00bb\nlouis l ' amour was an american author . l ' amour ' s books , primarily western fiction , remain enormously popular , and most have gone through multiple printings . at the time of his death all 101 of his works were in print ( 86 novels , 14 short - story collections and one full - length work of nonfiction ) and he was considered\none of the world ' s most popular writers\n. - wikipedia\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\na gunfighter helps a ranch owner in his attempt to prevent a renegade crew from taking over the territory . when the owner is murdered , he wills his ranch jointly to the gunfighter and daughter of an old friend . the range terror is stopped in a blaze of gunfire . \u00a9 1956 , renewed 1984 columbia pictures industries , inc . all rights reserved .\n195711 . 01 - xvid - eng ] - western - ride out for revenge ( b . girard - rory calhoun ) tvrip\nthose redheads from seattle - the first 1 . 66 : 1 widescreen feature - hd trailer\norder now and we ' ll deliver when available . we ' ll e - mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information . your account will only be charged when we ship the item .\ncomment : light rubbing wear to cover , spine and page edges . very minimal writing or notations in margins not affecting the text . possible clean ex - library copy , with their stickers and or stamp ( s ) .\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 .\nno kindle device required . download one of the free kindle apps to start reading kindle books on your smartphone , tablet , and computer .\ngreat as all l ' amores books . great herod , villains , gals , and men . action , intelligence , scenes suspense and plots make it a great page turner .\nwho else can write westerns better than l ' amour ?

' '\nthis movie was made and released about forty - one years after agatha christie ' s source novel of the same name was first published in 1941 . this picture was the first ever filmed version of this story , it was filmed a second time as poirot : evil under the sun ( 2001 ) .\nfor the french version of the film , both peter ustinov and jane birkin dubbed their own voices .\nevil under the sun has even been adapted for pc . the game lets players take on the role of hastings , while poirot guides them through the clues and encourages them to solve the mystery as he would . in 1999 , bbc radio 4 adapted the story , with john moffat as poirot . the most recent incarnation of the story is in graphic novel form , released in 2013 .\nfuture learning and skills \u2013 giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .\nthe titles below link to more detailed information , all the stills and the ' now ' shots that we have for the film .\nwe loved going to raixa estate so much that in the 9 days we stayed in majorca we went there twice . the estate is simply beautiful , with a lot of history and different architectural styles . it is also one of the locations for our favourite film ,\nevil under the sun\nfrom 1982 with peter ustinov , maggie smith and many other great actors , it was amazing . if you like history , architecture , gardens and great views you will love raixa . its free to visit . take everything you need with you , there are good toilets but no places to eat .\ncostumes for the film were designed by academy award winner anthony powell .

[ 5 ] guy hamilton had previously directed another agatha christie film , the mirror crack ' d , in 1980 . [ 6 ]\neverything here just feels tighter than the previous film ( i\u2019d say it\u2019s the strongest of ustinov\u2019s canon ) . half the film may have occurred before the murder , but \u2013 unlike death on the nile , where the subsidiary characters were keeping their motivations and secrets obscure \u2013 we\u2019ve got to know the characters to a point where we understand them , reducing the need for further exposition as the film nears its climax . on top of this , the movie feels jam - packed full of plot and humour . none of the characters liked arlena very much , so the resort is a mix of emotions : regret and paranoia , but also great relief , all in this gorgeous setting which \u2013 in spite of its size \u2013 begins to feel increasingly claustrophobic ( not unlike that christie classic and then there were none ) . while the film shifts the action away from devon , it makes things feel isolated , in a very clever way .\ni can observe , however , that one of the delights of the movies made from agatha christie novels is their almost complete lack of passion : they substitute wit and style . nobody really cares who gets bumped off , and nobody really misses the departed . what ' s important is that all the right clues be distributed , so that poirot and the audience can pick them up , mull them over , and discover the culprit . perhaps , then , one of the reasons i liked \u201cevil under the sun\u201d was that this time , when ustinov paused in his summation ( after verbally convicting everyone in the room ) , and it was clear he was about to finger the real killer , i guessed the killer ' s identity , and i was right . well , half right . that ' s better than i usually do .\n( 1982 ) , based on agatha christie ' s 1941 novel of the same name , with a screenplay by anthony shaffer and barry sandler , marked the second time that peter ustinov played the role of christie ' s belgian sleuth , hercule poirot . co - starring with ustinov were diana rigg , jane birkin , who was also in another christie adaptation ,\nboth adaptations have their virtues and both make significant deviations from christie ' s novel . the superior version is ustinov ' s film , which was written by anthony shaffer , a playwright (\nin the film , patrick redfern was wearing swim briefs (\nspeedos\n) on many occasions ( suntanning on the beach , steering a motorboat with myra gardener on board ) , and it is suggested that , since the film was set in the 1930s or 1940s , that the male\noverall\nswimsuit was\nnorm\n, and the\nspeedo\ntype suit was an anachronism . this is not true ; by 1936 ( after the olympics ) men started wearing one piece and much tighter fitting\nspeedo\nsuits . the film is probably set before 1939 ( the book was written in 1941 ) , and by this time , fashionable and daring men would have worn this type of swimsuit , particularly to secluded getaways , such as the setting for the movie . see more \u00bb\nthe film , which opens today at the new york 1 and other theaters , has peter ustinov , wittier and wider than ever , as the brilliant belgian detective hercule poirot . it has a cast of marvelous actors who communicate mosly through rude remarks :\n, the isolated locale is central to the plot ( though it ' s easier to reach a nearby village than in ustinov ' s film ) . a cove , a ladder along the rocks leading to the beach , and the many island paths play a crucial part in a crime where impeccable timing is mandatory .\ni don\u2019t mean to sound negative : the film does look absolutely stunning ( the costumes were the big winners at award season ) , and the cast \u2013 for the most part \u2013 do their jobs satisfactorily . to me , though , it seems all style and little substance . ( i mean , seriously : an hour before the murder ? )\nthe early scenes on the moors were shot in the yorkshire dales , england , with the exterior of the police station being the former literary institute in muker , swaledale . [ 15 ]\nreview , writing that hamilton didn ' t get much glamour out of the cast , who he called\nhideously dressed ,\nand that\nthe movie reeks of fussiness .\ndenby suggested that the film was so slow that the audience would be compiling their laundry list in their heads before the mystery thriller was over . jack matthews , writing for the\nas with both previous poirot films , evil under the sun takes its time setting up the murder . what makes it work is that we know \u2013 or at least , we\u2019re pretty sure we know \u2013 who\u2019s going to get killed . diana rigg bursts on to the screen as arlena , and everyone hates her from moment one . orient express had an uneasy atmosphere even though we weren\u2019t certain who was going to die , while nile relied more on several false starts to build suspense . instead , we know everyone wants arlena dead , and people aren\u2019t exactly shy in expressing that . as a result , the day of the murder is all the more tense , because we feel like we have the jump on poirot : we\u2019re already examining alibis and motives before she\u2019s even dead ! in spite of \u2013 or perhaps because of \u2013 cole porter\u2019s light score , things become increasingly unnerving until the reveal of the murder .\npeter ustinov is hercule poirot , the master detective , in this agatha christie murder mystery film . an opulent beach resort provides a scenic background to this amusing whodunit as poirot attempts to uncover the nefarious evildoer behind the strangling of a notorious stage star . is the killer one of the many rich and famous patrons in attendance , or is the answer even more diabolical ? before the final curtain call , poirot must find the truth .\nnumber of refugees accepted into the u . s . falls below the rest of the world combined for the first time . . .\nas hercule poirot , mr . ustinov more or less presides - hostlike - over the revels that must be continually interrupted to get in plot points , and which prevent the movie from becoming the high comedy the cast could handle so effortlessly . this is not to say that ' ' evil under the sun ' ' doesn ' t have its memorable moments . it does , including the sight of mr . ustinov taking his morning ' ' swim , ' ' which means walking back and forth in water up to his knees , making tentative , australian crawl - like movements with his arms . there ' s also an extremely promising sequence in which miss rigg graciously entertains the guests in the drawing room after dinner by singing ' ' you ' re the top , ' ' when miss smith attempts to upstage her with unwelcome harmony . when these two actresses are on the screen , you can believe the hotel ' s register that lists as recent guests ivor novello , ' ' fred and adele ' ' and even cole porter .\nmaggie smith is \u2013 again \u2013 the best thing on hand here , as daphne castle , the manageress of an island resort in the adriatic . it\u2019s a distinctly stiff - upper - lip english resort , but it has a wonderful ambience . filmed in majorca ( a far \u2013 but fair \u2013 cry from the devon of the novel ) , the film makes adequate use of the scenery , but always in service of the plot . ( to be fair , the scenery is far more part of the plot than in death on the nile . )\nthe auction for the beach takes place on may 9 at the st mellion international resort in cornwall .\npersonally i wasn ' t a fan of this version of a christie classic . this is probably because i love the david suchet film version of this book rather than anything else , although i did find this version rather dated .\nmesmerising maps reveal record - breaking temperatures across the world as the earth experiences ' one of the . . .\n, on the other hand , enjoyed the film , writing that it had\na cast of marvelous actors who communicate mostly through rude remarks [ . . . ] in adapting dame agatha ' s not exactly flamboyant novel , mr . shaffer seems to have put a paperback edition of it under his pillow for one night and then allowed his imagination to take over . that ' s all to the good , though , because this is - after all - a conventional whodunit ; both he and guy hamilton , the director , faithfully observe all of those genteel , drawing room conceits that so charm christie fans and stupefy the rest of us .\n\u00a9 urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . all rights reserved . box office mojo and imdb are trademarks or registered trademarks of urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . terms of use and privacy policy under which this service is provided to you .\nwhen poirot asks who threw the bottle or took the bath , none of the guests will admit to either act . during the night , poirot reads a report he submitted to the same insurance firm that hired him to investigate the blatt diamond issue and checks something in the hotel register .\nthis was a film i was madly in love with as a child and led me to reading the vast majority of agatha christie ' s work long before my teens , as such on this rewatch - the first in years - i ' m naturally predisposed to loving this perhaps a little more than it deserves .\npeter ustinov designed the bathing suit he wears in one scene in the movie . .\nas we move toward the denouement , things get genuinely mysterious , since it seems that no one could have killed arlena . of course , as with many of the most well - known poirot novels , everything hinges on one lie . once you find that lie , you can unravel the whole chain . i\u2019m sure this is true of many murders , and it doesn\u2019t lessen the impact of the film ( after all , this is why poirot\u2019s little gray cells come in so handy ) , but it does make the rest of the clues seem rather inconsequential in hindsight . boldly , though , shaffer decides to reveal the murderer at the start of poirot\u2019s lengthy climactic speech , rather than the end . in spite of losing the \u201cand thus it was\u2026 you ! \u201d element of the climax , it works , because the key here is the puzzle , not the puzzle - maker .\ndaphne was walking along the top of the cliffs and saw arlena on the beach at ladder bay . she also saw the argument between arlena and sir horace . she then returned to the hotel to chair a staff meeting .\nassembling the suspects together , poirot announces that the solution to the murder hinges on several items : linda ' s bathing cap , a bath no one would admit to taking , a mysterious bottle flung into the sea , the particular geography of the island , the cannon being fired to mark noontime , and the fact that people sunbathing from a distance look similar .\nit will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the wiki 2 technology .\nafter myra left the bay , christine changed out of arlena ' s bathing costume . patrick then strangled arlena in the grotto , changed her back into the bathing costume and set her up for when poirot and the others arrived to examine the body . christine meanwhile pitched the bottle of self - tanner into the sea\u2014narrowly missing rex brewster\u2014and then dashed back to the hotel to wash off the self tan\u2014the bath no one admitted to taking\u2014and turn up for her tennis date .\nas hercule poirot enjoys a luxurious cruise down the nile , a newlywed heiress is found murdered on board . can poirot identify the killer before the ship reaches the end of its journey ?\na hiker rushes into the local police station at the moors in yorkshire . she has found the body of a woman who appears to have been strangled . the victim ' s name is alice ruber but the police find no leads .\nthe screenplay was written by anthony shaffer ( who had worked on previous christie films ) and an uncredited barry sandler . the adaptation stayed fairly close within the plotlines of christie ' s work , but truncated scenes for time constraints , removed minor characters and added certain humorous elements that weren ' t present in the novel . additionally , the novel is set in devon , but the film is set on an adriatic island in the fictional kingdom of\ntyrania\n( based on albania ) . the character lineup is also slightly different . whereas the characters of rosamund darnley and mrs . castle are merged , the characters of major barry and reverend stephen lane are omitted , and the female character of emily brewster is now a man named rex brewster , played by roddy mcdowall .\nthe park\u2019s list of catalogued seafaring birds is extensive and includes the audouin\u2019s gull and the balearic shearwater , one of the few birds that are endemic to the balearic islands . sa dragonera also boasts the largest eleonora\u2019s falcon population in the archipelago . as to the mammals , the bats are the park\u2019s only naturally existing group and include at least 5 species , some of which are migrant . the waters and marine floor are included in the park\u2019s area of marine influence , which contains a well - conserved array of underwater ecosystems representative of the western mediterranean . particularly worthy of note for their diversity are the posidonia oceanica prairies , a refuge for countless marine species and coral communities .\nthe screenplay was written by anthony shaffer ( who had worked on previous christie adaptations ) and an uncredited barry sandler . [ 4 ] the adaptation stayed fairly close to christie ' s work but truncated scenes for time constraints , removed minor characters , and added humorous elements that were not present in the novel . additionally , the novel was set in devon , but the film was set on an adriatic island in the fictional kingdom of tyrania ( based on albania ) . the characters of rosamund darnley and mrs . castle were merged , the characters of major barry and reverend stephen lane were omitted , and the female character of emily brewster was written as a man named rex brewster , played by mcdowall .\ncomposer john lanchbery , normally a ballet conductor , was hired to arrange the music . to recreate the mood of the 1930s , he chose cole porter tunes for the entire soundtrack and assigned a song to each situation and each character .\ni felt that the island was a terribly important character in the picture and needed a theme . there was something about the way they photographed majorca that give it a certain rolling dignity .\nhe created a seven - minute medley called\nporter meet poirot\nwhich was later performed with the boston pops . to stay historically accurate , lanchbery went to the cole porter estate and looked at all of porter ' s compositions up until 1938 , when the film is set . he copied 100 songs and used 24 .\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\non leaving the hotel , patrick pays by cheque , signing the\nr\nin\nredfern\nin a distinctive way that poirot recognizes as the same way\nfelix ruber\n, husband of the yorkshire moor victim , signed his name . the hiker that found the body had been christine , establishing patrick ' s alibi . poirot knows photos from the british police will show patrick and felix to be the same person . patrick puts a pipe in his mouth that has never been lit during his stay ; poirot empties the pipe bowl to reveal the genuine diamond . the redferns are then arrested as poirot and the other guests leave the island .\nlater the redferns are arrested , while the other guests mock them from blatt ' s yacht . recovering from the assault , poirot is told that he is to be decorated by the king of tyrania .\nit is deplorable ! to remove all the romance - all the mystery ! today everything is standardized .\nin adapting dame agatha ' s not exactly flamboyant novel , mr . shaffer seems to have put a paperback edition of it under his pillow for one night and then allowed his imagination to take over . that ' s all to the good , though , because this is - after all - a conventional whodunit ; both he and guy hamilton , the director , faithfully observe all of those genteel , drawing room conceits that so charm christie fans and stupefy the rest of us .\n( the title was derived from a verse in ecclesiastes ) . after a prologue involving a seemingly unrelated murder , hercule poirot journeys to a secluded island hotel where all the guests share one thing : a hatred of wealthy , former actress arlena marshall . when her corpse is discovered on the beach , the belgian detective sets out to uncover the identity of the murderer . at the climax , he assembles all the suspects , confronts the culprit , and explains ( aided by flashbacks ) how the ingenious crime was committed .\nwhen leaving comments at the cafe , please focus on the contents of the post . differing opinions are welcomed ! negative comments directed at the bloggers or other commenters are not - - and will be deleted .\nchristine was sketching landscapes with linda during the morning at gull cove . on realizing that the time was 11 : 55 , christine remembered she had a tennis match at 12 : 30 back at the hotel and quickly left . every day at noon a local cannon is fired on the mainland to mark the time and can be heard as far as the island ( this figures into the plot - line of the story ) . christine claims to have heard it while waving to linda from the top of the cliff as linda was swimming in the sea . linda confirms this .\ncole porter gets the credit for \u2018music by\u2019 , and his songs \u2013 constantly playing on the gramophone at the resort \u2013 provide a surprisingly unsettling atmosphere . however , porter himself was deceased by this point ; i guess his estate must have angled for the credit , rather than simply listing the films in the credits .\nthis movie is the perfect blend of heightened reality , and show how hercule poirot works within the gaps .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nthe most resounding praise is reserved for maggie smith , as the stoic assistant to bette davis\u2019 character . smith is such a strong actress that we expect her characters to be icy and controlling . here , smith proves how remarkable she is , by toning down her inherent power , giving us a woman who is weaker and more infallible , always jumpy . ( it\u2019s a nice contrast , too , to her performance in the next film , below . )\npoirot notes the signature on the cheque and then suddenly addresses redfern as\nfelix ruber\n, husband of the woman whose body was found on the moors in england some months ago . he points out that the\nr\nof redfern on the check matches the distinct\nr\nto the signature of felix ruber on the insurance form he was reading earlier . the time of mrs . ruber ' s death was established as occurring at the time her husband could prove he had been on a train to london . witnesses complained he smoked in a non - smoking compartment ,\na little too obvious\n.\ndaphne castle insists that poirot investigates the matter , dismissing the efficacy of the local police , and he agrees . sir horace blatt turns up on his yacht and , as poirot had guessed , reveals that arlena was the woman he had the affair with and who took his diamond .\nperiod detective drama . a snow - drift prevents the orient express from continuing its three - day journey across europe . the belgian detective hercule poirot becomes involved in a case in which the murderer could be any one of the aristocratic high - ranking and eccentric passengers on board the train .\nwhen miss marple reports witnessing a murder through the window of a passing train , the police dismiss her as a dotty spinster when no trace of the crime can be found .\nthe hotel in question is the former summer palace of the reigning king of tyrania . it is now owned by daphne castle ( maggie smith ) , who received it from the king\nfor services rendered .\nher guests include :\nthis uninhabited island off mallorca ' s western tip was the focus for a turning point in mallorcan history in 1977 , when it was occupied by environmentalists protesting against a planned tourist development . the campaigners won , the island became a nature reserve instead , the seabirds survived , and for the first time the authorities realised that mass tourism had reached its limit .\nthe ending is a little excessive . while i adore the costume transformation reveal , the link to an older murder is a bit much . not only does it require very specific knowledge on the part of poirot , but it just feels \u2026 unnecessary . we shouldn\u2019t be detracting from the monstrosity that was arlena .

which held mrs . ruber ' s life insurance , and was also to insure the blatt diamond , sent poirot to investigate . he never met the husband or the hiker who found the body . as an agent of the insurance company he may have been limited to simply checking the police reports and ensuring that they were thorough in their investigation . felix could thus cash in on his wife ' s life insurance . however , the death of alice ruber seemed to parallel that of arlena : the coincidence was too great for an investigator like poirot to ignore .\nhuge fan of peter ustinov & this is my second

in a cool and different way ? i do that all the time in my class . so when it came to publishing this year ' s biography writing , i just couldn ' t let them write a simple essay and draw a picture .\nnow , if you have followed along with my in the past , you know that i have creatively published this biography before . i love doing these\n! ) we could take these biographies in a different direction . so instead of the hanger people this year , we created magazines .\nto begin , we of course started with the writing . being 5th graders , i knew that if i just told them to write a biography , they would be lost . so instead , i helped to scaffold the writing for them . when scaffolding , i use a style very similar to\nin that i break the writing down into pieces . we start from the inside out , with the content of the middle paragraphs first , then move onto the introduction and conclusion paragraphs . i used these organizers to get them going .\nonce the writing was done ( using all of the organizers ) , the fun part came . through google classroom , i assigned the students a magazine template that i created (\nfor each paragraph , there was a page to fill in . i wrote instructions in the\nspeaker notes\nfor the students to follow as they were typing . so even though there was a template to follow , they still needed to find pictures and adjust the fonts so that the space would be filled . the kids really felt as if they were creating a magazine when they were typing !\nthen came the front cover . this page had them all giddy . the students needed to find a picture of their subject and write a headline grabber that told of the subject ' s most important contribution . they loved this part . and when the magazine overlay was put on top . . . . . you should have heard the oohs and aahs !\ni am very lucky in that i have access to a color printer at school , so we printed them all out , bound it together with some long paper , glue sticks , and a staple gun , and i laminated the cover . oh my word . i could not stop staring at them . they came out gorgeous !\nhonestly , this is one of my most favorite things i have ever made . the scaffolded organizers helped ensure that the kids were writing coherently and the magazine template just made for a magnificent display that encouraged others to read that written work . get your copy of the entire resource\nin their planners , we pass out papers ( homework , flyers from the office , etc . . . ) and then they pack up their stuff to go home . when the kids are done packing up , i have them join me on the rug . since this is an individual process ( some kids take longer than others ) i head to the rug at this time and sit in my chair . kids join me as they finish up and we usually start talking about the books we are reading . this is super informal and becomes a time when i can just chat casually with a few students about books . i write nothing down . i don ' t have a script . we just chat while we wait for the rest of the kids . this little chat i have is very enticing to the kids too . they like to talk with me about books so they generally tend to get packed up quickly so they can converse .\nonce * most * of the kids are on the rug , i begin reading aloud . most of the time , i am reading from a chapter book so i just continue on from where i left off . other times , say if we just finished a chapter book , i will read aloud a picture book ( though i generally tend to read those during lessons throughout the day to be honest . )\nmy kids listen as i read aloud to them . they don ' t take notes . they don ' t do a comprehension activity . they don ' t respond to the text orally or otherwise . they just listen as i share the written words with them .\nwhy do i do this ? there are lots of reasons but the biggest one is that it helps me to create readers . you see , the kids listen to me fluently reading , enjoying the book , and can visualize the story . they get taken away into a world that they may not have been to before . they see the joy of reading first hand . i know that i have introduced books that the kids would have never picked up on their own and they become hooked on the entire series . i know that i have shown kids that books are a doorway to a new land of imagination and fun . i know that i have opened up channels of discussion for the kids to talk about books with me and each other . i know that i have created readers in my class . all because of the read aloud .\nso what books do i read aloud ? well , i tend to choose different types of novels . in the beginning of the year , usually find books that i know will engage the kids and are a part of series . the reason i do this is so that the kids then have the option to read the rest of the books in that series . if they like the book , there is something else to read that continues the story . as the year goes on , i choose books that are of all different genres . below are a few of my tried and true favorites that are almost always a hit with my students .\n( the links are affiliate links that will take you to amazon to purchase the books . )\na perennial favorite with my fifth graders . this is one that helps to set the tone for the rest of the year . it talks about bullying , empathy , and how people can change . it is a great one to begin the year .\nanother book that is great for the beginning of the year . this is one cliffhanger after the other . there are giant bugs , wars between humans and human - sized rats , an underground society , a quest , and a whole lot of action . this story has all the basic elements of storytelling as well ( plot , character , setting , conflict , theme ) that it is a must have to get your kids just thinking about these ideas . this is the first in a series an my students are always checking out the others after we read this one .\nthis book is the first in a series . the story takes place in a dystopian society where it is illegal to be a third child . the main character is a third child who must hide his entire life . it is one that has a long beginning and takes a while to get into . it is one that i know the kids would put down if they read it on their own . but once you get to page 41 . . . . magic . it is utter and complete magic .\nan endearing story about a robot stranded on an island . the robot learns the ways of the animals and how to survive in this unknown land . it is the first of two books that my students begged me for . i think it helped that i read aloud to them using the robot voice the entire time the robot talked ; )\nyou know that i am always recommending books that i find valuable for my classroom . you can scroll down through my feed for dozens of recommendations that have resonated with my students over the years . (\ni like to have the kids write historically from the perspective of someone who was at that event . meaning , when i want them to write about , say a battle of the american revolution , i don ' t just have them list off facts , i like them to take on the persona of a person who witnessed the battle and is telling the story .\nsuch was the case when i had my students learn about the battles this year . i had them research the battle using\nit was basic , just asking them to fill in the blanks on basic information about the battle itself .\nin google slides . . . though if you have no access to tech you can print it off and have them handwrite it . ) they wrote a first person narrative in letter form to a relative explaining the details of the battle they researched .\ni asked them to make up an address and create a stamp . this could be any sort of picture they thought would make a good stamp during that time period . some kids drew one and took a pic to insert . others found pictures online that fit with what they were going for .\nnext came the fun part . the students created the picture portion of the postcard . some of them created a picture using clipart and the shapes tool on google slides .\nothers found several pictures online that would match what they described in the battle and used that .\nthen we cut the pieces out , glued them together , laminated them , and viola . . . . a postcard was made !\ni love using picture books in my classroom . there is just so much that can be taught with them and through them that excluding them from my fifth grade class just because they are\nfor younger kids\nis a travesty to me . picture books can be full of rich imagery , wonderful lessons , complex characters . . . . you name it , picture books have it .\nthere are so many different picture books that i use in my class throughout the year , but for this particular post , i thought i would focus on 10 of my favorites and how i use them .\n( all of the links to the books are affiliate links on amazon . )\ni see you is a book about homelessness . this book literally changed the course of my classroom . it is a wordless book that i picked up to read to my students the last 10 minutes of class one day . at the beginning of the book , we see a little boy who notices a woman , illustrated in black and white . as the book goes on , we see that she is homeless and that the other people in the book are not treating her very well . it is a heart wrenching book that really hit home with my students . we had a very long discussion at the end of the day that i wasn ' t really expecting , to be honest . they began to see that maybe we weren ' t treating those experiencing homelessness very well , and embarked on a 3 month long service project to help those in our area and school district who might be homeless . even if you don ' t plan on doing a homelessness service project , this book is worth a read .\nthis one is perfect for the first day of school ! i read it aloud to my students and then had them use emojis to describe how they were feeling in class that very moment . doing this on the first day helps the kids to see that reading is important and their feelings have a place in school . to read about the activity ( and pick up the sheet so you can do it too ) , follow\nthis is a fabulous book about a little known or talked about chapter in american history , particularly in california . mexican families , in the time around wwii , were not allowed to go to school with their white counterparts . this is the story of a family who fought against that , winning a landmark decision that paved the way for brown vs . the board of education . this book is particularly timely and makes for a great discussion with your students . i found that my kids were very interested in this story ( since many of my students are of hispanic dissent and connected with it . )\ni love this book to use on 9 / 11 . it talks of a real life hero who put others before himself . he was a 24 year old man ( the same age i was that day ) who helped bring people down from the high floors , then went back up twice to get more . ultimately the towers fell on his last trip up . this is a story the kids immediately relate to , telling them enough details of the tragedy for an upper elementary kid who wasn ' t around at the time to understand without getting too in - depth . it focuses on character and acts of selflessness . i wrote more in detail about exactly how i use this book on 9 / 11 in my classroom\nbut you can use this book at any time of the year , particularly in a study of personal character .\nthis book is about failing and picking yourself up again . it tells the story of humpty dumpty and what happens after he fell off the wall . it has a fantastic message that shows just because you fail once the world is not ending . pick yourself up and get back out there . . . . even though it may be hard .\nthere are many stories of people who stepped up to help those being targeted by the nazis during wwii , but this story is one that must be shared . it is the fictionalized account of one family who , along with their entire danish town , helped nearly every jew living in nazi occupied denmark escape to the safety of sweden . this story shares how dangerous it was , how these people were putting themselves at great personal risk , to help the jews escape what would mean certain death for them . in the end , 7 , 200 of the 7 , 800 jews were ferried to sweden . through the pictures and eloquently written words , the students instantly see how working together for a cause you believe in can be worth the great sacrifice that there may be in the end .\nthis is such a simple book but a very powerful one . it tells the story of a little boy who loves words . she collects them , organizes them , and makes them important . then , he shares them with the world . the story is perfect to capture the magic of words . it is great to introduce a writing unit or to just read on its own . my own son was captivated by the book . he read it over and over and over again . it is a must have in any library .\nmy kids went gaga for this book . it shares 25 different animals and the reasons for their specific coloring patterns , facial features , etc . . . some reasons were as you would expect ( i . e . : camouflage ) and others were not ( i won ' t spoil them , but they are so fun ! ) my kids loved trying to guess what the reasons were and were mesmerized by the fascinating facts held within the covers of this book . this is a great jumping off point into cause and effect and problem and solution . if you teach an animal unit in upper grades , you could use it too . they also could just research a different animal not mentioned in the book and write their own page in the same style . so many possibilities with this one .\nhonestly , this is one that i just couldn ' t bring to read aloud this year as i knew it would cause massive amounts of uncontrollable sobbing to take place . this is an end of the year book for sure , when you reflect together about how far you have all come together and how much the year meant to each of you . but be warned . you will cry .\nwant to read about even more books to use in your upper grade classroom ? my friends below also have joined me in writing about their favorite books . hop on over to read all about them !\nin two days , my 20th year of teaching will be done . it is hard to believe that 20 years ago i was just graduating college and had been hired into my new teaching position . . . . a 4 / 5 split on b track , whatever that meant . little did i know that my first class would shape who i am as a teacher today .\nyou see , what i learned from that class was that teaching was going to be work for me .\ni was horrible at it . i was not one of those natural born teachers . i thought i would walk into the classroom , the kids would listen , and the world would be changed . it didn\u2019t quite work out like that . it took the intervention of our school coordinator to put me on the right track . she taught me the \u201ctricks of the trade\u201d and helped set me on the path to the teacher i am today . she showed me how to manage my class and how to inspire the students through innovative and thoughtful lessons . she taught me that the classroom should reflect the students and their learning . because of this , i only decorate my classroom with students\u2019 work . everything that goes onto the walls ( unless mandated by my district ) has been produced by my kids . that woman , through her selfless acts to help me , enabled me to find my footing as a teacher and instilled in me this love of educating children through high expectations that i keep with me each time i walk into my classroom .\nmorning , it feels like my second home . i have spent so much time there , that everything is just comfortable . to make things comfortable , i have carefully curated it over years and years of begging , borrowing , and buying . while the buying in bulk may have slowed down , i am still always on the lookout for a deal and love when scholastic has their books on sale for $ 1 . i know all the stores that give teacher discounts and frequent the dollar spot at target . i repurpose like nobody ' s business . all of this has helped to create a speech i want be in for years of my life .\nhave built . i will keep moving forward , learning , and growing . my students will need to stay at the forefront of my thoughts as i adapt to an ever - changing environment in this world we call teaching . things will keep moving . things will keep changing . and with a lot of work and luck , i will do just fine .\nthis summer , i am joining with some amazing bloggers to bring you tips and tricks for your classroom . today , we are all introducing ourselves . so now that you know a bit about me , please visit my friends below to learn about them . then come back every tuesday to learn a bit more that you can bring back to your classroom .\nthis week was our first week back and , boy am i tired !

( ok , ok . . . i know not urltoken does that , but i am talking in general ! ) so this past week , i wanted to focus on that story structure we call plot and bring it to the attention of my students .\n, setting , plot ) and teach it to my students over the course of the week . i break the idea into smaller , 20 minute chunks , and teach from there . it is working so very well ! this week ' s chunk lessons all dealt with the idea of plot and how everything we read follows the same basic\nformula\n.\nby louis sachar follows this plot structure . i asked them to think - pair - share with a partner to see if they could come up with examples that fall into each of the categories . then , after a group debrief on their t - p - s , i sent them back to their seats , with a plot diagram i had made and asked them to write down their thoughts .\nday two and three had us looking at a story ( written by my husband ! ) and trying to dissect it for plot elements . we read the story aloud , and then color coded the story using our crayons to represent different elements of plot . deciphering between the exposition and rising action , and then falling action and resolution proved to be quite challenging ! our discussion kept us moving along though and the students were able to do this quite well .\non these days , i wanted them to create a little drawing / writing project that would keep them interested in the story and also serve to get their ideas from the oral discussion to a more written , concrete form . so i asked the students to take the color - coded writing and draw a picture for each of the five elements . what picture would represent the exposition ? what about the climax ? how would the resolution be drawn ?\nfor day three i asked them to do the same thing , but instead of drawing it , i wanted written evidence from the text ( ahhh . . . . getting some of that testing jargon in there ! ! ) everything seems to go back to that test , doesn ' t it ?\nthat then lead us into the writing portion of this for the week . i wanted the students to be able to write a clear , coherent paragraph on the subject of plot so for day four and five , i had them choose a picture book that they were familiar with . i guided them towards books that i knew had a clear beginning , middle , and end ( ie :\nby janel cannon ) and gave them an organizer to fill in outlining the plot details of the story .\nthen , using a paragraph organizer , i asked them to construct a complete paragraph plot summary . this was to tell what happened in the story , from exposition to resolution , without giving everything way . it was to be barebones and focus on the main ideas in the text . using the organizer really helped the kids to do this . they were forced to only pick a few of the details , and really helped them to be sure they had parts from each plot element .\n. i really , really love how these lessons turned out and kept my kids focused . it was great hearing them talk about plot even out of context of language arts ( ie : in theatre or when discussing a movie they had seen . ) i also love that i was able to do this , and produce some bulletin board worthy products , in 5 days ! win - win for all !\nlove this ! will be trying it and checking the rest of your work . thanks for sharing ! : )\nbe sure that you have an application to open this file type before downloading and / or purchasing .\nteachers pay teachers is an online marketplace where teachers buy and sell original educational materials .\noh man , we finally figure out who the little boy is and why i ' m going through all these series of events . am i crazy , innocent , a murder , or traumatized ?

made clothing from levis , wrangler , woolrich and carhart , with justin boots and hats by bailey . i believe that people working on ranches try to support american products , so that credibility is seen through the wardrobe .\nstuntman and actor leo j . mcmahon was born on november 11 , 1913 in sonora , california . the son of an irish father and a mexican mother , mcmahon grew up on a ranch . in 1936 leo decided to go to hollywood and pursue a career in the film business after producer harry sherman suggested that he do so . . . .\nthematic material was always important to steiner and he normally started every score by sketching the main themes and motifs before actually composing the score . for they died with their boots on , steiner created an unique theme for crazy horse , first heard in the opening section of the main title . this completely original\nindian\nsound soon became the paradigm for most other film - composers when dealing with indians and soon became cliche . he also composed a secondary theme for the sioux ( played by high woodwinds ) that could be utilised quietly and mysteriously as well as screaming over the entire orchestra during the final battle sequence . . . especially when orchestrated for six piccolos , two soprano saxophones and two e flat clarinets ! for custer ' s martial theme , steiner composed it in such a way that he could gently and subtly incorporate it as a secondary accompaniment to libby ' s theme , which musically and dramatically unites these two characters in a single bond .\nit was as i tried to recoup both mentally and on a physical level that i kept recalling the words of the sons of the pioneers song , \u201cempty saddles\u201d and trying somehow to integrate them to the symbolism of the cavalryman\u2019s fiddlers green . we had seen our comrade home and had paid all final and full respects . by way of symbol we had turned his horse out to rest in pasture and placed his saddle upon the corral fence - his saddle had been oiled and buffed , the silver polished and shined . his carbine had been cleaned , oiled , loaded , and placed in its sheath ; as was his saber honed and in scabbard . his saddle had been placed where he would find it near to hand should he ever have need of it again , \u201cfor none but the shades of cavalrymen dismount at fiddler\u2019s green\u201d .\njazz on the screen is a reference work of filmographic information and does not point to digitized versions of the items described . the library of congress may or may not own a copy of a particular film or video . to request additional information ask a librarian .\nbriefly , we should mention some of the other films made locally by republic pictures . a separate article will need to explore them in more depth . a very popular and successful series involving three cowboys was the three mesquiteers . the casts varied , but two films were made locally : wild horse rodeo and gunsmoke ranch . the largest budgeted film at the time , at $ 300 , 000 , was army girl , made here with the horse cavalry and a tank . footage from the film was edited into a rex allen vehicle called old oklahoma plains . allen also made under mexicali stars here . the plainsman and the lady shot locally and starred yates\u2019s girl friend / wife vera ralston and was well received . the last republic film made locally also starred ralston and was called gunfire at indian gap . she as also in fair wind to java , with location work shot on mono lake including the eruption of the volcano krakatoa done in miniature . the model can still be spotted by canoe on the lake .\nthis history of the firm of freese and nichols and its substantial impact in texas constitutes a survey of 100 years of civil and environmental engineering .\n* anachronisms : although the film takes place in 1863 , dr . kendall is shown boiling surgical instruments to prevent them from infecting patients , a process that was not developed until 1879 , by dr . louis pasteur .\nreagan\u2019s cavalry days have inspired the finest display of its kind that this military buff has ever viewed . \u201clieutenant ronald reagan and the u . s . cavalry : history and hollywood\u201d\u2014the latest exhibit at the ronald reagan presidential library & foundation in simi valley , california\u2014covers the history of the american horse soldier with a colorful display of uniforms , weaponry , saddlery and other equipment pertaining to the mounted service\u2014both real and the hollywood film version .\nloren riebe was also a private plane pilot who died when his small aircraft crashed . he later died at lancaster community hospital . he was performing in an airshow in lancaster , california when his mishap occured . he worked as a stuntman and actor for republic film studios .\nthe iron mistress ( warner bros . , 1952 ) : colorful , but faceless , alan ladd vehicle tells the tall story of jim bowie . it\u2019s the first of four ladd - douglas collaborations and costars another favorite , virginia mayo , but the film\u2019s feeling is oddly antiseptic .\nthe approach to music on this film presented some intriguing opportunities and problems ,\nobserves robert redford .\nsince it has a big look and an epic quality , it would seem to automatically suggest that you put a big score over it . even though i ' ve been affected by them sometimes , i have never been interested in scores that would lead you as opposed to being a part of the experience . i was intrigued by the idea of introducing western songs to the film because there ' s a purity to it that seemed fitting .\nrobert redford was extremely dedicated to realizing his vision for this film with an accurate presentation of horses and horse handling . unlike many films with horses which center on racing ,\nthe horse whisperer\nis as much about the animals as characters , and about their relationship with people , as it is about the human characters it portrays .\nthe first feature - length western was lawrence b . mcgill ' s six - reel arizona ( 1913 ) . the first film to feature an all - native american cast was hiawatha ( 1913 ) , made by the colonial motion picture corporation and based on longfellow ' s poem .\nthe big land ( warner bros . , 1957 ) : a warner bros . \u201cmini epic , \u201d the big land was decent and well - made , with ladd in good form , but the film\u2019s energy comes from the great edmond o\u2019brien . mayo is again teamed with ladd .\nopened to strong box office and critics liked it , too . but it would mark the beginning of a long period of decline for flynn as drinking and carousing took its toll . not unti11945 , in the classic war film , objective burma , also directed by walsh , would flynn find another role as strong as that of custer in they\nthe fiend who walked the west ( twentieth century - fox , 1958 ) : this notorious western reworking of 1947\u2019s kiss of death showcases future movie mogul robert evans crawling the walls as the psycho gunning for hugh o\u2019brian and his family . this film is a slap - in - the - face blend of horror and western , but fun .\nlike most of brooks ' films ,\nthe producers\nis cheerfully willing to go anywhere for a laugh . in brooks ' next film ,\nblazing saddles\n( 1974 ) , he produced the famous campfire scene , long before eddie murphy ' s klumps had their troubles with intestinal gas . gene wilder worked with him again in the wonderful\nyoung frankenstein\n( also 1974 ) , and brooks has remained prolific ; high points are\nsilent movie\n( 1976 ) , with its narcissistic burt reynolds shower scene ; the hitchcock spoof\nhigh anxiety\n( 1977 ) , where the tracking shot breaks a plate - glass window , and the underrated\nlife stinks\n( 1991 ) , inspired by preston sturges '\nsullivan ' s travels .\n[ 23 ] dying declaration - finale : musically , steiner makes libby the sole survivor of the little big horn . garry owen , played in a much slower , more sombre cadence than previously performed in the film , identifies libby as the last member of the now gone 7th cavalry . it is up to her , not only to continue the tradition of the command , but to guarantee that those who have died with their boots on have not died in vain . with quiet purpose , libby shows a dying declaration to general sheridan and those who connived to take land away from the indians . in death custer achieves what he could not in life . his sacrifice , and that of his men , shoulder ideals almost lost to greedy men . libby ' s theme returns , with strength and heroism as , for a last time ,\nthere was also a branding sequence in the film ,\ncontinues gary liddiard , who has been robert redford ' s chief makeup artist since ' jeremiah johnson , ' and who has been working with his son dennis for almost a decade .\nwe didn ' t actually brand calves while making the film . the wranglers caught the calves and then we got to shave the brand patterns while they were squirming all over the place . it doesn ' t hurt or harm the animals , but i will say it was as much work as anything else a make - up artist does .\nthe film is based on the true - life raid by col . benjamin grierson who , as shown in the movie , began his expedition - - known as grierson ' s raid - - from legrange , tennessee , in april of 1863 .\nthe great missouri raid ( paramount , 1951 ) : this low - budget nat holt western about the james brothers was well directed by douglas , with a good , solid cast of contract stars . frank gruber adapted his own novel for the film , which was shot quickly and moves just as quick .\ndaredevils who thrill today ' s movie audiences owe much to yakima canutt ' s inventiveness . before he entered the field , stunt work was disorganized and often deadly . when canutt began risking life and limb in stunts for the early silent westerns , he realized the need for safer ways to get better effects on film . he is credited with designing lifesaving stunt maneuvers and equipment , such as the open\nl\nstirrup that made it easier to fall or jump from a running horse . by the time he retired from the film business , he boasted a record of more than 100 pictures without a serious injury to a performer or a horse . . . .\nveteran stuntman , actor , and horse trainer sandy sanders was born on may 23 , 1919 in hereford , texas . sanders grew up all over the country . following service in the u . s . army during world war ii , sandy went on to put together a horse act . sanders ran across a film crew while working in kansas and . . .\nseveral important serials used lone pine for locations . t he lone ranger directed by william witney and john english shot here . h a wk of the wilderness shot in the mammoth area , starring herman brix . drums of fu manchu used footage from the lone pine film storm over bengal . zorro rides again and adventures of captain marvel both have lone pine footage .\na schoolteacher and amateur sleuth suspects foul play when a fellow passenger on a sea - plane gets sick and dies .\n[ 16 ] grazioso - train : sharpe and his backers want gold from the black hills - and custer out of the way . trumpets sound for custer and his cavalry at fort lincoln . at quarters , he and libby embrace .\nthe visual style of the film played a huge role in the making of ' the horse whisperer , '\ncontinues redford .\nthe visual aspect is very important to me because i was an artist , yet i didn ' t want to put it out there and brandish it or headline it . you want to make it sort of seamless in a way that the audience will be able to experience something and feel it , rather than feeling urged to comment on it . robert richardson and i spent a fair amount of time up front discussing the concept of the use of light and the compression as well . the film actually has a one - eight - five matte when it starts , and it opens to a two - thirty - five as it makes the transition to the west . as the seasons change and the space opens to the west , we included more light and color .\nlatitude : n 36\u00b036 . 111 longitude : w 118\u00b007 . 101 this is where the tank rolled over the wall from the 1938 film\narmy girl\n( # 3 on self -

breaking in the sense that a king kong or a citizen kane was , yet it certainly fits in the category of\none of the best of its kind\n. although the composer preferred character - driven films such as the bette davis dramas , in truth , no one surpassed steiner in writing exciting , pulse - pounding action music . in scores such as the most dangerous game , the\n, which was shot in england . in his first overseas film job , canutt had to teach his english horsemen to ride western using a one - handed neck rein , so they could hold swords and lances with the free hand . he directed one of the best jousting scenes ever captured on film , and staged the siege of the castle with many dramatic falls from the high castle walls . after several days of filming , he had sent so many men plunging to their\ndeaths\nthat the director told him good - humoredly ,\nyak , i don ' t believe there is room in the moat for any more bodies .\nthe film was shot in eleven days mostly in the alabama hills of lone pine , california , at a cost of about $ 43 , 000 . director joseph kane , a former editor , had made his directing debut with autry ' s first starring feature ,\nmotion picture | feature film ( over 60 minutes ) .\nblue gardenia\nby bob russell , lester lee , arr nelson riddle , performed by nat king cole .

( ah , analyzing . ) i\u2019ve always preferred blind husbands over foolish wives , its story has always seemed a little tighter and little more interesting to me . the setting is nice , too .\nthe concern that some women show at the absence of their husbands , does not arise from their not seeing them and being with them , but from their apprehension that their husbands are enjoying pleasures in which they do not participate , and which , from their being at a distance , they have not the power of interrupting . ~ michel de montaigne\nwhile most australian girls this age are busy being children , child brides aisha and zainub ( not their real names ) were used as a commodity by their husbands and families .\nwhat ' s for dinner ?\nis the only question many husbands ask their wives , and the only one to which they care about the answer . ~ mignon mclaughlin ,\nurltoken \u2014 most husbands in this situation would want a paternity test , but the husband of this a - list television actress knows the real story and stays quiet to collect a paycheck .\nhe was doubtless an understanding fellow that said , there was no happy marriage but betwixt a blind wife and a deaf husband . ~ michel de montaigne ,\nupon some verses of virgil\nbeing for the most part unfamiliar with films of this vintage , i ' m glad that mubi puts them in the rotation . it ' s probably pretty much impossible for a modern viewer to really connect with the simplistic , melodramatic narrative of blind husbands , but it was fascinating to see how , in this period , suspense , in an alpine setting no less , was handled . enjoyable , overall .\nunfortunately , this gem does have one major flaw and that\u2019s the last quarter of the picture . while the marital woes of the armstrongs and the attempted seduction of margaret felt genuine , the plot descends into melodrama once the lieutenant and husband face off on a mountaintop . had blind husbands been corn from the start this would be no issue , but stroheim gives us a heaping of maturity only to finish it off with fluff .\nphotos used in blind item posts are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to identify any particular individual as the subject of this post . we take no responsibility or liability for the assumptions made by our readers .\nby its pictorial quality , therefore ,\nblind husbands ,\nnot especially original in plot , and weakened somewhat by its resort to the well - worn theatrical trick of withholding important information from the spectators , is interesting throughout and at times supremely compelling . some of its scenes are continentally frank , they are not offensive nor more suggestive than is necessary to present the triangle of the self - absorbed husband , the neglected wife , and the human bird of prey .\nwell - shot and well - written , what really stands out from blind husbands is its narrative subtext . however , if you ' ve not seen this film , i would advise seeing it without spoilers . so , with that said , this is a simple yet poignant poignant film with one clear message : be good to your wife and trust her . we see this message constructed through a couple who are on holiday ; the husband about to climb a mountain in the dolomites . however , this\u2026\n\u201chere is a photoplay which excels because it is built on the solid foundation of a real idea , namely , the universal carelessness and inattention of husbands to their wives after , in common parlance , they have them securely bound by the gold or platinum band of domestic slavery . just so long as husbands allow themselves to take their wives for granted , to forget the little attentions and kindnesses after the honeymoon is ended , just so long will pretty young wives be the prey of don juans who appease them with pretty sayings and suave signs of devotion . \u201d motion picture magazine , 1920\nmaseru , lesotho\u2014 \u201cthat\u2019s how african men are , \u201d the woman said . she and two others laughed aloud at the infidelity of their husbands . their hearty , free - spirited laughter resonated in the hotel lobby , attracting disapproving stares from the men in business suits who occupied most of the other coffee tables .\nneither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other . thus , no marriage or family , no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives , mothers and fathers , men and women work together in unity of purpose , respecting and relying upon each other ' s strengths .\nmany who saw eric stroheim as a prussian villain in\nthe heart of humanity\nand other war films may have wondered , because he seemed so completely designed for his part and nothing else what he would do when the public no longer demanded a hun to hiss . if they will go to the capitol theatre this week and see\nblind husbands\nthey will know that whenever mr . stroheim desires to give up acting , or is not required , in pictures , he can devote all of his time to directing - and if the promise that is borne of his first performance as a director is fulfilled , the screen will be greatly enriched .\nyet while the government can seemingly ignore gender violence issues , it cannot turn a blind eye to aids . international attention to the high prevalence rate in lesotho and sub - saharan africa has increased . billboards , posters , and fliers on safe sex are almost everywhere , and free condom dispensers abound in public places and toilets .\nthe most interesting element of blind husbands comes from that it blames no one in this bizarre love triangle . there\u2019s no simple categorization of the characters , no assertions that armstrong is good and steuben is bad . steuben is a horny louse to be sure , but he also seems lonely and insecure , giving us some sympathy for him . armstrong is noble and good - hearted , but his coldness towards his wife , which appears to stem from her unwillingness to start a family , does stain his image as the perfect man . margaret is not some simpering ing\u00e9nue or thoughtless flirt , but a flesh - and - blood woman facing temptation in a moment of isolation .\ntogether , these three women are fighting two of the gravest problems that plague lesotho and sub - saharan africa today\u2014gender - based violence and hiv / aids\u2014and they\u2019re not entirely disparate plagues . \u201cthere is a strong connection between the two , \u201d mamakhete says . \u201cwomen have no agency and sexual rights . they are forced to have unprotected sex with their husbands even if the men have aids . \u201d\nat age 9 , she was writing poetry . by 17 , she was a single mother . in her early 20s , she danced at a strip joint , ran a brothel , was married ( to enistasious tosh angelos , her first of three husbands ) and then divorced . by her mid - 20s , she was performing at the purple onion in san francisco , where she shared billing with another future star , phyllis diller .\nstaying with the person you love if they become disabled shouldn\u2019t require gratitude . the important parts of a person don\u2019t change ; what\u2019s in their heart remains the same . my husband is not a martyr . he\u2019s not a saint . he\u2019s simply a man who honored his commitment to our relationship . he doesn\u2019t need nor would he want my gratitude for staying , but he will always have my utmost respect for being the kind of man he is . blind or not , i know we will never lose sight of our love for one another .\nmy daughter\u2019s christening was a monumental debut for both of us . she was being introduced as the newest member of our family , and i was coming out as her newly blind mother . after surviving the ceremony unscathed , my husband and i proudly carried our precious bundle into the celebration venue and handed her over to her godparents while we assumed our roles as hosts . he went one way and i went the other , bouncing from table to table knowing that if we finished quickly , we might actually get to enjoy the hot meal we were paying for .\nkermit . . . you are a d -

at 18 frames per second a difference of some 7 minutes to the austrian version with 2 , 045 metres . whereas we originally presumed only a negligible difference , resulting from the varying length of the intertitles , a direct comparison has nevertheless shown that the austrian version differs from the american version both in the montage and in the duration of individual scenes . yet how could it happen that the later regional distribution of a canonical us silent film was longer than the\noriginal version\n?\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\ntraveling with her husband in the swiss alps , a doctor ' s wife finds what she needs in the person of a charming , seductive military officer , who comes to final terms with her jealous mate atop a perilous mountain peak . erich von stroheim ' s first directorial work is cinematically and dramatically impressive .\nit ' s now noteworthy as a curio , but when first released it splashed von stroheim ' s name onto the international spotlight as a brilliant filmmaker .\nm ovie historians call erich von stroheim a realist because of his attention to authentic detail . stroheim rehearsed actors only less thoroughly than he designed sets and selected objects for them . but the most important element of his art is visual style , for its give us a sense that the objects and spaces he shows are real . without this sense , all the correct detail in the world would be useless .\nstroheim presents the characters and settings of each shot as directly as possible . actors rarely overlap one another ; all are fully visible ; yet he saves his shots from being flat tableaux by placing his actors at different distances from the camera and by enhancing their different depths with lighting . the way he places his\nrealistic\nobjects similarly use depth . prominent natural objects in the foreground play off objects in the background to make the space of each shot real and three - dimensional .\nin a seduction scene , for example , the foreground figures are backed up by cows and by trees and mountains in the far distance . for a hiking scene in the mist - - the most illusory of conditions - - rock outcrops in right foreground key the shot by giving us an immediate material object . contrasting with the figures in medium distance against the far rock - ledge , all the objects together establish real space between them . for stroheim there is no such thing as a general form or formal similarity between different objects . each object it its material self , nor is there one kind of object is its material self , no is there one kind of object .\nhis films establish a distinction between things as essences and things as symbols\n( sarris ) , and treat only the latter . there is not general motion ; action is local and concretely tied to the actor . the only universal is light .\nlighting and composition now join the themes to establish the mountain - peak as a place of purity and to contrast it with the lower world . a sampler in the officer ' s bedroom reads ,\nin the alps there is no sin .\nthough he takes it to mean\nall is permitted ,\nits meaning is that sin will be obliterated . as the officer and husband begin the ascent , a guide tells the wife they will be safe , if they only will eave their worldly attachments behind .\ns troheim shows the same tension between his characters ' aspiration to virtue and their weaknesses in greed ( 1923 ) . its plot follows a young dentist and his wife as they decline from security to poverty . stroheim , directly equating their material situation with their moral states , places them in real settings . at the same time he floods the early scenes with light , expressing in extraordinary art their wish for purity .\nwhen the dentist ' s practice fails , their basic greed - - attachment to material goods - - begins to tun them against each other , and the film becomes darker and darker as they and their material situation decline . white , recalling their former virtuousness , is now a mockery - - certainly in the scene where the dentist murders his wife next to a christmas tree in the dark . he then flees , but he is pursued by a rival . the film ends with their meeting in death valley .\nwith both the iconic and the new , these eight local boston and cambridge - 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 .\nthis is a directory page . britannica does not currently have an article on this topic .\nhe needed , of course , competent actors , and found them in himself as the austrian lieutenant , in sam de grasse as the surgeon , and in francelia billington as the woman . h . gibson gowland , as an alpine guide , and others in supplemental roles , met all requirements for background and atmosphere .\ntom ' s little star ,\none of the stage women ' s war relief films , in which a number of theatrical celebrities are displayed , is also at the capitol .\nwhat stroheim has done is to state a problem all too frequent in american married life . he proceeds next to tell it artfully .\ndr . armstrong arrives at a small alpine village with his pretty wife . engrossed in his work , he is kind to her but forgetful of those little attentions . an austrian lieutenant , riding up in the bus with them notices this and begins his work . he is soon , thanks to his perseverance , acquainted with the young woman . while her husband is away , he buys her a beautiful box she has admired and comes to her door with it . on the pretext that someone is coming down the hall , she lets him in , though she is not yet fully dressed .\nhere is a pretty scene . she gets rid of him as soon as she can by promising that she will yield to him completely later . this later is while they are at a mountain lodge preparing to climb the pinnacle . while her husband and the lieutenant are still downstairs , we see her slip across the hall and put a note under the austrian ' s door . we see the lieutenant read the note , put it in his pocket and prepare for bed . the guide , a man under deep obligations to dr . armstrong , has lighted his wife to her room and when the lieutenant leaves his chamber to go to hers , he opens the door on the guide who smilingly shows him the way back to his own apartment .\nwhat the guide has done is to take the wife to the wrong room . she and her husband are sleeping apart , so he won ' t disturb her when he rises early to climb the peak . the impression is left that she was prepared to receive the lieutenant , but on the mountain top the austrian , alone with her husband , draws the letter by mistake from his pocket , only to throw it away before the husband can take it and read it .\nin the picture itself there is some amazing mountain climbing and falls and perfect photography , but the story , acting and directing are superior even to these effects . the flirtation scenes have a sex appeal that is at once charming and arousing . francelia billington , as the wife , is pretty and dainty to a degree , but we think stroheim made his one mistake in his own exceedingly sharp cut impersonation . it ' s bad business to make a lover ridiculous .\nthe picture itself never really skirts the rough edges . it does not offend . it is a safe bet for any exhibitor and every exhibitor should show it or consider himself at once the manager of a second grade house .\nvon stroheim himself plays the part of a lustful army officer , a serial seducer who sets his cap at the dreamy wife of a rich american whilst they on holiday in the south tyrol .\nin a remarkably assured debut von stroheim displays a nascent virtuosity as he unpacks a morally ambiguous tale of sexual obsession told with what became his trademark sumptuous visual sensibility .\nmore than this though , it is a phenomenally visually and narratively complex film , and beyond its historical interest , an engrossing and poignant melodrama .\nthe ico is touring this recently rediscovered and restored first film from director erich von stroheim with the kind permission of the austrian film museum .\nthe austrian film museum have allowed the ico a temporary sub -

: ironically enough , the titular high school musical ( apparently called twinkle towne ) , in the first film . you ' d think with all the importance placed on its callbacks , we ' d get some focus on the musical itself , like maybe showing troy and gabriella practicing songs or scenes from it , right ? well , you ' d be wrong - after the performance of breaking free it ' s never brought up again , not even in the sequels .\nsundance institute , christos v . konstantakopoulos ' faliro house ( the lobster , before midnight ) , and filmmaker athina rachel tsangari ( at _ tenberg , chevalier _ ) have partnered to create the faliro house | sundance mediterranean screenwriters workshop , in recognition and support of emerging independent filmmakers in greece , spain , italy , cyprus and portugal . modeled on the institute\u2019s renowned screenwriters lab in utah , the workshop is designed to give independent screenwriters a fully immersive space to work intensively on their first or second feature film scripts .\nnonetheless , it took him time to settle in spain , with atl\u00e9tico\u2019s medical staff concerned he consumed too much meat and insufficient water . in that first season , he played just off fernando torres and , like the spain striker , had his name tattooed on his forearm in \u201ctengwar\u201d , one of the elvish languages invented by jrr tolkien , although he admits that at the time he had not seen the lord of the rings film . \u201cthe tattoo artist told me it looked good , so i got it done , \u201d he said .\ndouble standard : sharpay ' s pursuit of troy in the second film comes across as sexual harassment and blackmail but she ' s easily forgiven by the end and her more extreme moves are played for laughs . troy is clearly uncomfortable and nervous around her , but is still forced to shoulder most of the blame , even though she ' s actively stalking him and his job means he can ' t avoid her . imagine if the positions were flipped and a guy was stalking and harassing a girl at a job she desperately needed ."]}

eid and the new encrypted version of the previously available eddystone - tlm , we\u2019re also adding a common configuration protocol to the eddystone family . the\neddystone beacons are based on a new type of beacon technology . at the of this article you will find links to introductory articles that explain what eddystone is . the eddystone protocol was developed by google , and is an open and extensible standard for beacons . beacon vendors have embraced the standard and offer eddystone compatible beacons .\ncolumnist chris marentis believes that the future of personalized advertising is already upon us thanks to google ' s new , open ble beacon format , eddystone .\nthe google beacon platform enables you to manage your beacons remotely , integrate with google services and help users ' devices to discover content and functionality across android , native apps and the web .\ngoogle recently released an open source version of the software that enables bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon hardware technology to communicate with smart devices running either android or ios , called eddystone . google says the name comes from a famous uk lighthouse .\nin addition , the tutorial detecting eddystone beacons in javascript made easy introduces the library and provides background information about eddystone .\nwhether they are set up to accept your permission to manage beacons in your google cloud project .\nthe trademark is owned by google , but the project is open and driven by the community .\nyou should verify that your provider is able to configure beacons and associated services to deliver the functionality you want , including integration with google products . google does not endorse particular projects or business approaches from providers , but rather checks the capability of the provider to use the google beacon platform effectively .\nwe\u2019re excited to have worked with a variety of industry players as eddystone - eid develops . over the past year , eddystone\nthe proximity beacon api is a part of the bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon platform , which also includes eddystone , an open beacon format from google .\nmany beacons can be provisioned with several different frame types interleaved . in almost all cases , developers should choose one of the identifying frames ( eddystone - uid , eddystone - eid ) to ensure future compatibility with future google products , augmented by other frames used for particular purposes ( eddystone - tlm for diagnostics , eddystone - url for physical web ) .\nthe scanning is performed by google play services , and only at\nscreen - on\nevents .\ntoday i want to introduce faros , an open - source bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon supporting google\u2019s open beacon format eddystone implemented for the popular arduino platform .\neddystone is a ble format developed by google . it\u2019s open and multiplatform , so you can use it with both android and ios . there are four types of data a beacon can broadcast with eddystone , described by three frames :\neddystone - tlm : beacon status data that is useful for beacon fleet maintenance , and powers google proximity beacon api ' s diagnostics endpoint . - tlm should be interleaved with an identifying frame such as eddystone - uid or eddystone - eid ( for which the encrypted etlm version preserves security ) .\nan android app that can broadcast configurable eddystone - uid frames is available at eddystone - uid / tools / txeddystone - uid .\nthe eddystone library is implemented in a javascript source file called eddystone . js . this file is included with the cordova plugin .\nthe eddystone javascript library is packaged as a cordova plugin . cordova is a build tool that enables creating native apps you can publish on apple app store and google play .\nthe common frame pdu types and the individual service data byte layouts for the eddystone frame formats are documented in the eddystone protocol specification .\nan android app that performs non - exhaustive basic validation of the core eddystone frame types is available at tools / eddystone - validator .\nalternatively , you can use eddystone - uid / eid , and register your beacons with google\u2019s beacon cloud . you\u2019ll then be able to add a url notification to such beacons .\nadditionally , eddystone includes a configuration service and branding materials . to ensure that your deployment fully supports the google beacon platform , you should set up your beacons with eddystone - uid or - eid , and optionally add - url and - tlm .\neddystone for developers and techies due to the open nature of the protocol , eddystone can be used in a number of different ways . this write - up from google is a bit more complicated than that from apple , so casual perusers beware .\neddystone - eid and eddystone configuration service are only supported by location beacons . you can read how to enable them in their respective articles .\nthe current eddystone mbed example does not allow for combining the eddystone service with other services , this will be changes in a future update .\nyou may have come across the physical web without associating it with eddystone . eddystone - url is the ble format for the physical web .\nproviders on this page have passed a suite of checks that we have designed to help ensure compatibility with the google beacon platform , including beacons that can be set up to broadcast eddystone , as well as services that use the google beacon platform for app , web , and infrastructure related functionality .\ni try to use google nearby api but no beacon found . oficial google sample app also no beacon found . my own app found beacon but not working on background . i try switch between eddystone and ibeacon profil , but it is still the same . official app by urltoken find beacon . my own app which list beacons in area also works . these applications don\u00b4t use google nearby , but i can write app with background scanning beacons with google nearby . at the beginning i proceeded according to this manual : urltoken\nto get started with the google beacon platform , get a beacon and install beacon tools for android or ios .\nwith both eddystone - uid and eddystone - eid , beacons no longer broadcast a simple url , so getting from beacon id to url becomes more difficult . a mechanism is needed to translate between what the beacon is broadcasting , and the desired target content . this could be an app , or a web service . eddystone - eid in particular requires google services for key exchange to access the beacon data . for eddystone - uid , google services is optional , but it\u2019s either that or some other application .\ngoogle has a couple of companies as launch partners . samsonite has an eddystone suitcase that allows users to securely keep track of their luggage . the washington wizards and capitals use eddystone beacons to deliver customer rewards . standalone beacons are also available from several manufacturers .\ni am following the video from the google keynote ( urltoken ) . i also have the same beacon in the demo ( ibks 105 ) and managed to provision it to serve uid . by using google ' s beacon tools , i am able to detect and register the beacon in google beacon dashboard and add in my attachments and urls .\ntrimet is the first u . s . transit agency to use the google ble technology , which competes with apple ' s ibeacon . google installed the bluetooth transmitters at portland area train stations last week at no cost to trimet .\narvil , eddystone - url is almost fully compatible with physical web and therefore can be translated by browsers that support eddystone - url right now .\nin the meantime , another app , called beacon tool is used for configuring beacons to work with google web services .\nwith the invention of apple\u2019s ibeacon , ble beacons became very popular as a positioning technology . now google has released a new open beacon format called eddystone ( named after a famous lighthouse ) , which is more versatile . eddystone supports three frame types for broadcasting data :\neddystone - eid is a component of the eddystone specification for ble beacons . eddystone - eid beacons broadcast an identifier that changes every few minutes . the identifier can be resolved to useful information by a service that shares a key ( the ephemeral identity key , or eik ) with the individual beacon . any use of eddystone - eid requires both a beacon and a resolving service ( such as the google proximity beacon api ) .\nhow does eddystone work ? much of how eddystone works is the same as ibeacon . but there\u2019s extended functionality beyond that . eddystone exists as four different frames : eddystone - uid , eddystone - url , eddystone - tlm , and eddystone - eid . the uid works more or less exactly as ibeacon does : it broadcasts a short code at a regular interval . eddystone - url broadcasts a url that can be viewed by anyone with a bluetooth - enabled smartphone whether they have your app installed or not , and eddystone - tlm broadcasts some telemetry data about any attached sensors and the status of the beacon itself . this could easily be used to power data collection or triggers . in short , an eddystone beacon does nearly everything ibeacon does with some added features .\nregistration data , generally used for administration and lower - level integration with google products ( such as places api integration ) .\ngive your users better location and proximity experiences by providing a strong context signal for their devices in the form of bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacons with eddystone , the open beacon format from google .\neddystone is an open beacon format developed by google and designed with transparency and robustness in mind . eddystone can be detected by both android and ios devices . the eddystone format builds on lessons learned from working with industry partners in existing deployments , as well as the wider beacon community . several different types of payload can be included in the frame format , including :\nanother component of google\u2019s beacon platform is the beacon dashboard . it\u2019s a web based interface tied to a google account , from which you can view and manage information associated with your eddystone - uid / eid beacons . you can attach specific pieces of data with each beacon , such as placeid s corresponding to real world locations from the google places api , and notifications to be triggered when the beacon is encountered . notifications can be url links or app intents .\nthis is the eddystone logo . it sure doesn ' t look very googley .\neddystone - tlm , telemetry data such as battery voltage , uptime , etc .\n1 ) a beacon under the eddystone beacon can broadcast a url . but :\nhello , joginder , we answered most of your questions ( and more ! ) in our eddystone faq . please check out section 2 : eddystone - url .\nstarting from right now , we\u2019re selling bluetooth beacons with support for eddystone , a new beacon format from google ! we\u2019ve been working with google on this project , and we\u2019re one of the very few companies that have been involved with the process for long enough to have native support ready for the new format at the day of launch .\nbut before we can get to this , we need to familiarise ourselves with some of the other technologies in google\u2019s beacon platform .\nalso , please remember that eddystone isn\u2019t equal to eddystone - url . eddystone - url is just one frame ( part ) of the format . apart from delivering links , it works with apps in the eddystone - uid frame and offers standard features that ibeacon does ( the ones you like more ) , dedicated to android .\nif you are using below 6 . 0 version android phone then you have to find google setting in your phone and turn on nearby . if you using above 5 . 0 then go to phone setting find google - > nearby - > and turn on .\neddystone is an open beacon format from google that works with android and ios . the process of setting up a beacon to broadcast ( sometimes called ' provisioning ' ) can be completed using google ' s beacon tools app for android and ios , using a tool from your manufacturer , or sometimes in bulk by prior arrangement with the beacon manufacturer .\nhello , joginder , we answered most of your questions ( and more ! ) in our eddystone faq : urltoken please check out section 2 : eddystone - url .\ngoogle may use registration data , including for example place id or latitude / longitude / level , across its full range of products .\nthis completes our exploration of google\u2019s ble beacon platform . we saw two different approaches to setting up your ble beacons , and noted the messaging dicohtomy of the eddystone - url physical web vs the nearby physical web . the eddystone - url approach is the easier of the two to get started with , not requiring google services to get up and running . on the other hand , informal testing during the research for this article suggests that the notifications from ble beacons set up as eddystone - uid via nearby and the beacon dashboard show up more reliably than when set up with the eddystone - url approach .\neddystone is developed in the open with the input and collaboration of a number of beacon manufacturers , with an emphasis on interoperability and long - term robustness that avoids dependency on any particular party . beacons that support eddystone can be provisioned using eddystone - compatible tools from any manufacturer , and can be registered with any eddystone - compatible service .\nto date , the widest implementation of these beacons has been apple ' s ibeacon tech , but now google is entering the fray in a more serious way with an open standard it ' s calling eddystone ( after the lighthouse , you see ) . eddystone isn ' t technically supposed to just be a google project , though , as the company is open - sourcing many of the necessary specs and elements that make up a beacon ecosystem .\nyou can learn more about the cryptographic approach of eddystone - eid from our preprint .\nlooking for the technical details behind eddystone ? take a look at our developer portal .\nlet\u2019s see how to set up an eddystone - url beacon for the physical web .\nwith eddystone , google is only offering integrators the beacon technology . it ' s leaving branding up to the companies selling the products , which could make identifying eddystone devices on the market a challenge . apps are also up to the companies selling the devices , so you would need separate apps for your suitcase , your car keys , your bike , and whatever else you buy with eddystone embedded .\nwhile eddystone - url beacons will appear in nearby notifications automatically , beacons in other formats , such as eddystone - uid , eddystone - eid or ibeacon need to be registered on google\u2019s platform before they will appear in nearby notifications . this is because since these other formats are not broadcasting a raw url , they need an intermediary , whether an app or web service , to interpret the beacon data .\nyou know , google can adjust its browser , but has no impact on other providers\u2019 apps . so as long as mozilla and apple don\u2019t implement support for eddystone / physical web to their browsers , i wouldn\u2019t count on it .\neddystone is cross - platform\u2014support is built into google play services ' nearby api on android , and it can be used via a library on ios . eddystone is also open source and is available on github under the apache v2 . 0 license ( we ' ll update with links later once this all goes live ) .\neddystone is a completely new method of broadcasting ble data from beacons , created by google but open to extension by the internet at large . it embraces what ibeacons can do , and adds even more real - world context to it .\nbeacons that meet the full eddystone specification can be provisioned to broadcast using any tool that implements the eddystone generic attribute profile ( gatt ) service . the google beacon tools app for android and ios can be used to provision a beacon , as well as to attach content to the beacon that can be exposed through your apps .\nmonitor the status of a fleet using the eddystone telemetry frame , and the diagnostics endpoint .\nany urltoken beacon can broadcast both eddystone and ibeacon formats interchangeably using our packet interleaving feature .\nload up a beacon configuration app . some manufacturers build their own configuration app , while other simply direct you to a eddystone - compatible third party app such as the eddystone app .\nthe name\neddystone\nmight sound a little weird , but google says it ' s named after the eddystone lighthouse in the uk . the motif is that beacons guide users and apps in the real world the same way lighthouses guide ship captains in the night . being an open source project , they wouldn ' t want to name it\ngoogle beacon .\nit fits in well enough with the other non - obviously - branded open source google projects like android , chromium , or dart . this also isn ' t something they need to sell to the general public , just beacon oems and app developers .\neddystone ' s other big differentiator is that it supports multiple\nframe types\n\u2014basically data payloads\u2014that can perform a variety of functions . previous solutions from apple ( ibeacon ) and google ( the physical web ) have only served one purpose .\nif you are setting up an eddystone - eid , eddystone - uid beacon ( or an ibeacon ) then you will need the beacon tool app to register your beacon with the platform .\nwhile the enhancements to eddystone are beneficial , and the beacon dashboard , and platform as a whole , provide many benefits over the eddystone - url physical web , it\u2019s also apparent that these also happen to serve google very well by keeping them involved all the way in the entire beacon stack , and in a position to track activities .\ncopyright 2012 -

platform bluetooth le beacon format . the internet of things initiative is a competitor to apple ' s ibeacon , but it ups the ante by working on both android and ios and offering a wider selection of data payloads . eddystone has been primarily focused on business and the enterprise , but today google is providing more details on the secure beacon mode that it hopes will find its way into consumer goods .\nit\u2019s a bit early for most businesses to run out and purchase ble beacons that will work with this cross - platform , open - source eddystone format that google has released . however , you could theoretically start testing the technology in - house .\neddystone , an open and extensible bluetooth low energy ( ble ) beacon format from google , supported by android , ios , and chrome . beacons mark important places and objects in a way that your phone can understand . to do this , they typically broadcast public one - way signals \u2012 such as an eddystone - uid or - url .\nwhen a client device sights an eddystone - eid beacon as a result of a nearby subscription , the current eid is sent to the google proximity beacon api along with the api key of the calling app . the google proximity beacon api establishes whether the supplied api key is authorized to fetch attachments that have been associated with the beacon . if resolution is allowed , the attachments are served back as nearby message objects in the normal way . otherwise , google proximity beacon api returns an empty value , as it would if the beacon had not been registered .\nas far as i ' m aware , the app - free solutions should only function with eddystone url and tlm . conserning the url - have you got the specifics covered : google chrome installed , physical web turned on , bluetooth and location on ?\neddystone beacons may transmit data about their own operation to clients . this data is called telemetry and is useful for monitoring the health and operation of a fleet of beacons . since the eddystone - tlm frame does not contain a beacon id , it must be paired with an identifying frame which provides the id , either of type eddystone - uid or eddystone - url . see interleaving telemetry for details .\neddystone simply has a different purpose . if your audience is more android - oriented , you go for eddystone . if they use iphones , choose ibeacon . we don\u2019t ingore the fact that eddystone can\u2019t wake up apps on ios\u2013we talked about it in this blog post : urltoken , where you\u2019ll also find out what\u2019s holding us back from enabling our beacons to broadcast ibeacon and eddystone at the same time .\ngoogle maps is working to support the technology for ios users too ,\nfetsch said ,\nbut no further details are available at this time .\nmanufacturers who wish to have their beacons checked by google engineers should send samples for testing . before sending your beacons , you can perform some basic validation checks using eddystone validator . note that your own use of this tool does not constitute any kind of certification .\nyou\u2019ve heard of beacons . then there\u2019s ibeacon , eddystone , and what else ? here\u2019s your primer to get started understanding ibeacon vs . eddystone , their histories , and what makes them each uniquely cool .\nwhat i have seen the eddystone beacons from kontakt always send the 3 different eddystone packets . if the url is not explicitly defined during ordering , the default url is linking to this page . i expect view count of this page to increase soon now that androids trigger local notifications from eddystone url packets \ud83d\ude42\nwhat do you need to work with eddystone -

this program recognizes eddystone beacons and will display the data for all frame types .\nthere\u2019s more to eddystone than we\u2019ve mentioned so far . eddystone - uid is a format where the beacon broadcasts an id instead of a url , and an app or service must decode or interpret the beacon signal .\n1 . is it the chrome browser on ios which can scan eddystone urls or chrome on any other os ( like android ) can also scan eddystone urls . 2 . it is said android support eddystone natively . what it means ? whether google provide an app like gmail , map to scan these urls or android generate any notification whenever it receive any url from a beacon ? 3 . how can we request the nearby beacon urls . is there will any place in setting in android ?\ntrimet and google have activated an array of low - energy wireless beacons at the agency ' s 87 light - rail stations to seamlessly beam the notifications to nearby commuters .\nthe google proximity beacon api will only return attachment data associated with eddystone - eid beacons when the request contains the api key of an authorized project . this means that , provided you take appropriate care of your api key , only your app can make use of the beacon signal .\nif you want to use beacon as a eddystone you need to update the beacon configuration through urltoken web panel ( kontak io web panel ) and you have to use kontakt io android app ( kontakt io google play store ) for update the beacon , because beacon will update via bluetooth .\nonce your beacon is provisioned and deployed , you should register it with google proximity beacon api to get the full benefits of the google beacon platform . the google beacon platform provides an abstraction between the beacon hardware or identifier and information associated with the beacon . this allows a single beacon to play a role for many different apps , services , and features . once a beacon is provisioned and registered , you should focus on attachment data , namespace and type s in order to take full advantage of the beacon platform ' s flexibility .\neddystone - url : a compressed url that , once parsed and decompressed , is directly usable by the client .\neddystone\u2019s specification is published openly on the web and driven by the community , so anyone can access it and contribute to it . have a brilliant idea on how to improve the eddystone experience ? go on and submit it !\neddystone - eid beacons can be integrated into devices that users carry with them without leaving users vulnerable to tracking .\nnearby notifications will display messages in the nearby section of google settings , light up the nearby quick settings tile on supported devices , and will promote the best performing attachments as notifications .\na lot has changed in a short time in google\u2019s beacon platform . perhaps not to be unexpected given that it\u2019s a relatively new technology . beacons that you can purchase today generally have several broadcast modes to choose from , including ibeacon , eddystone - eid , and eddystone - url . some can broadcast multiple modes at once , while others must be configured in one mode , and will stay there until reconfigured .\nunderstanding the signal means signing up with a\nresolution service\nlike the google cloud platform ' s proximity beacon api . this cloud - based service synchronizes your client and the beacon , making sure everyone changes ids at the right time and sets up rules about who can access what . if you don ' t want to use google ' s cloud service , it ' s also entirely possible to come up with your own resolution service and configure eddystone beacons to use it .\nthis option may be useful if you interleave eddystone - uid with other uuid - based frame formats . it allows you to relate your eddystone - uid namespace to the uuid in the other frames by deriving one from the other .\nthe google beacon platform , built on eddystone , allows you to deploy your beacons once and use them many times . build highly personalized features into your app , share your beacons to collaborate with other developers , or use nearby notifications to deliver web or app content , with no prior app install required .\nbluetooth beacons are one - way communications , so usually the goal is sending a notification that , when tapped on , will launch a more capable form of displaying or transferring data .\nbecause eddystone is comprised of these different frame types , you ' ll see different beacon vendors using eddystone for slightly different purposes ,\nthe eddystone team told us .\nthe eddystone - url frame forms the backbone of the physical web , an effort to enable frictionless discovery of web content relating to one\u2019s surroundings . eddystone - url incorporates all of the learnings from the uribeacon format from which it evolved .\nthanks for the info . what about browsers like safari and firefox ? can eddystone urls be translated by these browsers ?\nk11 is a hong kong museum and retail experience using sensoro eddystone - eid beacons for visitor tours and customer promotions .\neddystone eid is the secure variant of eddystone uid . it ' s to eddystone uid what estimote ' s own secureuuid is for ibeacon \u2014 a way of making sure that only your own app will be able to recognize the beacon and serve content based on its unique ( and changing ) namespace and instance . learn how to set it up here .\neddystone - eid ( ephemeral id ) is a more recent security addition to the eddystone format . it prevents beacons from being spoofed , and offers privacy and access control to beacons . if a bluetooth beacon constantly broadcasts the same id , it can be hijacked . so instead , with eddystone - eid , beacons can broadcast different rotating ids over time .\nibeacon ( created by apple ) and eddystone ( created by google ) are bluetooth advertising protocols . this means they define what data beacons broadcast over bluetooth , and the format of that data . you can think about it as the \u201clanguage\u201d that the beacons speak in . they\u2019re also commonly referred to as \u201cpackets\u201d .\nthe eddystone frames get swapped in and out depending on what frames you have enabled . the only required frame type is the tlm frame , all others are optional and you can have any number enabled . to disable the uid or url frames give their values a ' null ' in the eddystone constructor . the eddystone spec recommends broadcasting 10 frames a second .\nupdate the eddystone - url . many beacons offer multiple broadcast modes , such as ibeacon , eddystone - eid , as well as eddystone - url . find the correct field and set your url . note that only https urls will work here . in our case , we\u2019ll use urltoken . ( note that it\u2019s sometimes recommended to use a link shortener here )\ngoogle has a project called\nthe physical web ,\nwhich accomplishes a similar thing\u2014broadcasting urls from a bluetooth beacon . this has the same inflexibility problem as ibeacon , in that it only sends this one frame type . again eddystone is a more flexible , unifying standard that also covers this use case . the physical web project will actually be switching from its current\nuribeacon\nstandard to the new eddystone - url frame type .\nsamsonite and accent systems have developed a suitcase with eddystone - eid where users can securely keep track of their personal luggage .\nwhether or not eddystone will move any of those concerns in the right direction is obviously an open question , but it ' s worth noting again that google intends this to be an open - source , wide - ranging ecosystem \u2014 not simply a way for google to find another way to insert itself into your digital life . instead of talking about ads , the company says it ' s planning on using beacons to send non - interruptive notifications to google now so that it can show relevant information based on your location ,\nlike showing you menu items when you\u2019re inside a restaurant .\nwe won ' t know if eddystone beacons can supplant ibeacons anytime soon , much less make bluetooth beacons as common as wi - fi hotspots \u2014 but it ' s a good bet that they won ' t show up in an apple store anytime soon .\nso , if you want to use eddystone - uid beacons with the physical web , then things quickly get more complicated for your beacon project . let\u2019s see what it takes to get an eddystone - uid beacon set up on on the physical web .\noriginally , the official physical web app from google could be used to program beacons . a subsequent release removed this feature , leaving users with beacons that had been configured with this app unable to reconfigure them\nstarting with google\u2019s beacon platform can be daunting . while the physical web is simple on one level , once you dig deeper , things can get confusing quickly . it\u2019s easy to get bogged down in overlapping apis and services , without knowing which ones you might need . when google first announced eddystone physical web , things were very simple : press a button on a beacon , load up the configuration app on your phone , set the beacon url via the app , and that\u2019s it , the beacon broadcasts the url until it dies .\nthe uid frame is encoded in the advertisement as a service data block associated with the eddystone service uuid . the layout is :\nthe eid frame is encoded in the advertisement as a service data block associated with the eddystone service uuid . the layout is :\nthe eddystone - url frame broadcasts a url using a compressed encoding format in order to fit more within the limited advertisement packet .\neddystone - uid : a unique , static id with a 10 - byte namespace component and a 6 - byte instance component .\nagnieszka , \u201cif your audience is more android - oriented , you go for eddystone . if they use iphones , choose ibeacon . \u201d\u2013does this imply it might not be a bad idea to use both an ibeacon and an eddystone beacon in the same location ?\nthis is another advantage the nearby approach has over the eddystone - url approach : notification text is configurable for the nearby approach .\nurls , emitted by objects and devices are the backbone of the physical web , another project from google . instead of broadcasting unique strings of numbers and letters that are only recognised by certain apps , the eddystone - url frame type broadcasts information that can be natively used by a phone even if it doesn\u2019t have your app installed . that\u2019s a game changer , giving businesses a reason to switch to eddystone profile all by itself even if there weren\u2019t any other advantages .\nthe eddystone functionality is implemented as a cordova / phonegap plugin . this is an open - source plugin you can use to build a native app for publication on the google play store and the apple app store . this plugin is included with evothings viewer , so you don ' t need to do anything special to run an eddystone app when using evothings viewer . when your app is ready to be published , build it using cordova . more on this below .\nwell , we can\u2019t say that background scanning doesn\u2019t work at all , since corebluetooth enables it to some degree . when it comes to the future and possible improvements , i think it\u2019s better to ask google \ud83d\ude42\nmany beacons support both the eddystone universal configuration service as well as proprietary services specific to individual beacon manufacturers . for a simple getting started experience , choose a manufacturer that supports the eddystone gatt service . proprietary services may offer extra functionality targeted at specialized beacon hardware .\nwe often compare beacons to a lighthouse ; they\u2019re just simple objects constantly sending out a signal . perhaps that\u2019s the reason google named their beacon format after the eddystone lighthouse in the uk . more importantly , though strikingly similar to ibeacon , it is distinctly google ( or , at least , non - apple ) . the protocol is now known for being \u201copen , \u201d created with the input and collaboration of several companies . instead of being created to power highly specific user - facing apps , its key qualities are interoperability and long - term strength .\nmaybe someone can help me . url\u2019s broadcast by the uribeacon can only be translated by a browser that supports physical web urls . is this the same with eddystone urls ? or , can eddystone urls be translated by any browser ? ( i . e safari ) .\neddystone - tlm is a format for broadcasting telementry data such as battery level , temperature , and broadcast stats , at regular intervals .\ni have tried serving for eddystone url and successfully broadcasted the url . i would really like to get the uid to work also .\nif the notification has been dismissed on a device recently , that device may not show another notification a period of time . the backoff policy is also reset if the user opens the nearby section of google settings .\nas you already know , you can use eddystone - uid to deploy real - world context to your native apps . but if some of your customers don\u2019t use your app , or you don\u2019t have one , you can use another frame type : the eddystone - url .\nron is the reviews editor at ars technica , where he specializes in android os and google products . he is always on the hunt for a new gadget and loves to rip things apart to see how they work .\n2 : technically , it\u2019s called eddystone - uid ( or uid , for short ) . we recommend using proper names to avoid confusion \ud83d\ude42\nmonumental sports in washington , dc , uses radius networks eddystone - eid beacons for delivering customer rewards during washington wizards and capitals sporting events .\ntip : the ibeacon , eddystone , and other packets can also be consumed by other apis : ios\u2019s core location and core bluetooth , android\u2019s bluetoothlescanner , google\u2019s nearby notifications , etc . each api has its strengths and weaknesses , so you can pick one that suits your needs best . ( needless to say , we recommend the estimote apis ! : wink : )\nthe shared key between an individual beacon and a beacon registry is exchanged at the time the beacon is provisioned using an elliptic curve diffie - hellman key agreement protocol . this protocol is robust against an insecure channel between the beacon that is being provisioned and the service performing the resolution . the google proximity beacon api supports registration of an eddystone - eid beacon through two channels :\n2 ) & 3 ) eddystone - url broadcasts some metadata . if a user taps on a link , a browser opens , displaying a website you linked to . i explained the eddystone - url mechanics here : urltoken i think you\u2019ll find other answers to your questions there , too .\nin addition to beacon manufacturers , we\u2019ve been working with a range of innovative companies to demonstrate eddystone - eid in a variety of different scenarios .\nsparta digital has produced an app called buzzin that uses eddystone - eid beacons deployed in manchester , uk to enable a more seamless transit experience .\nwell , you have 3 options . 1 ) you can change the eddystone - url to redirect to your own website 2 ) you can turn on packets interleaving and turn the eddystone - url frame off ( and save some battery life ) . more details here : urltoken 3 ) if you set your beacons to broadcast a non - existent url , smartphones will not display eddystone - triggered urls . let me know if that helped .\nthe google beacon platform is designed to enable an extensible , broad range of functionality related to proximity and location . often venue owners and developers will wish to work with specialist providers to enable this functionality for their venue ' s visitors .\nan eddystone beacon is a bluetooth low energy beacon , that means it does all of its data transfer in gap advertising packets . eddystone beacons , unlike other beacons , broadcast multiple types of data . currently eddystone beacons have 3 frame types ( uid , url , tlm ) that will get swapped out periodically . this swapping of frame data allows eddystone beacons to send many different types of data , thus increasing their usefulness over traditional beacons . note that the uid frame type provides the same 16bytes of uuid namespace that ibeacons do and the url frame type provides the same functionality as a uribeacon .\neddystone defines a gatt configuration service to enable interoperability between hardware manufacturers and application developers . it allows the beacon to report its capabilities to apps , and for the beacon ' s broadcast data to be reconfigured . this service is also necessary for secure configuration and registration as an eddystone - eid beacon .\nin the beacon space have grown from 5 to over 25 . the following 15 manufacturers will be supporting eddystone - eid , with more to follow :\nin the following sections , we\u2019ll take a look at what\u2019s involved in getting your beacons set up and registered in google nearby , and we\u2019ll see how they can deliver notifications to ble devices . the first thing to do is configure the beacons .\neddystone - eid : a time - varying beacon frame that can be resolved to a stable identifier by a linked resolver , such as proximity beacon api .\neddystone - uid \u2014a beacon\u2019s unique id number . this frame type triggers push notifications or app actions , just like proximity uuid that you know from ibeacon .\nthe system isn\u2019t perfect , but eddystone is just at its beginnings . here , at kontakt . io , we believe it\u2019ll grow and bring more opportunities .\n1d : that\u2019s right . that\u2019s why we recommend developing a dedicated ( and responsive ) landing page for eddystone - urls , that contains dedicated meta title .\nyou could also get a head start on explaining how any existing apps that you\u2019ve already created for your customers will work when they get the eddystone upgrade ."]}

eight shows \u2014 theatres , even ticket counters , weren\u2019t available . it was due to the socio - political scenario of that time . the party line was to support stalin and , in extension , also the british . in the \u2018history of the communist party of india\u2019 , i found that those who were involved in the meerut conspiracy had signed a bond and taken money from the british to come up with the paper titled \u2018people\u2019s war\u2019 . why wouldn\u2019t \u2018nabanna\u2019 face stumbling blocks in such a scenario ? the hugely relevant \u2018raktakarabi\u2019 is a political play , but baba was criticized for staging it . some said , \u2018rokto tuku dyakha gelo , korobi dyakha gelo na\u2019 ! today , i believe politics governs a lot of apparently unrelated actions .\nwere all these discussed at home ? politics didn\u2019t interest me ; literature and sports did . but once i read more on the history of the communist party , i realized something else had happened in the backdrop . many within the party were aware of this history , but they never confronted it . baba never discussed it with me . he\u2019d just smile and say : \u201cthere are so many stories that i\u2019ve never managed to tell you . \u201d while baba faced flak , others who did family dramas while there was turbulence outside earned the escapist tag .\nhave you ever seen him suffer from \u2018abhimaan ( anger , usually at a loved one ) \u2019 ? that emotion doesn\u2019t go with my father . in the fag end of his life , his sense of humour increased . i\u2019d hear ma scream and laugh while baba would just move his fingers from a distance , pretending he was coming to tickle her . it was such a comic relief . he never uttered a word against all the insults , not even after being ousted from\nhow did he develop this strength ? in raja sen\u2019s film for doordarshan , baba was asked why he chose to quit theatre so soon . he replied that he had wanted to quit long back , after he had done \u2018raja\u2019 in 1964 . he was 49 then . he then went on to say that when a person gives his all to something and then quits , there are many reasons and layers behind his decision . as an explanation , he said : \u201ci was cornered and i took a decision\u201d .\nyet , you published his letters\u2026 yes . i had told baba that unlike him , i wouldn\u2019t keep silent . he had just smiled . he never asked me not to publish the letters .\nmany feel that you should have voiced your protest when your father was ousted from bohurupee . why did you remain silent ? i was not in a position to protest . i had quit before baba\u2019s ouster . i had come to know about baba\u2019s ouster accidentally . i wasn\u2019t supposed to know it . besides , there were some family issues involved too . back then , my mother was the president of bohurupee . my ex - husband , kaliprosad ghosh , was then the\n. me saying anything would have seemed like washing dirty linen in public . i had to silently face it all .\nin retrospect , what do you think was the main reason for this friction ? if one isn\u2019t ready to contaminate one\u2019s medium of work , if one honestly sticks to ideals , one will have to be ready to get cornered . i realize it through my own experiences . life hasn\u2019t been easy by doing that . yet , i consider myself lucky that i could earn by staging \u2018nathabati anathbath\u2019 and do the kind of theatre that i\u2019ve wanted to do . but honesty results in loneliness . you won\u2019t be able to communicate with others . the refrain is : \u2018what\u2019s the harm in compromising ? \u2019 say , for example , an actor drops out after three months of rehearsals . i\u2019ll start questioning whether i should cheat the audience by replacing him with an actor who hasn\u2019t been groomed for long . but others might say : \u201ctheatre taa to naamiye dilei cholbe ( it\u2019s enough to just stage the play ) \u201d . for them , the production has to be delivered on time . if i can\u2019t fit into such a system , i\u2019ll feel isolated . such problems existed during baba\u2019s time too .\nhe earned an uncompromising image\u2026 in a television interview in 1995 , baba had said : \u201call of us who think we are moralists are under the impression that we stand erect and are at 90 degrees from the ground . but we are never so erect , since the world is round . we are bound to be slightly tilted . there might be times when circumstances lead us to stand at a 30 - degree angle . at that point , it\u2019s the only right thing to do . \u201d most people only talk about his stern exterior . but baba was such a jovial person . he developed such a rapport with the local plumber , sweepers and electricians . they used to assure him that they would vote for him if he contested the elections . a plumber had once asked baba what he did for a living , since he was always at home . baba had said : \u201ci live off my wife\u2019s earnings . \u201d later , when the plumber came to know the truth , he had told baba : \u201cami jani apni artist ( i know you are an artist ) \u201d .\nis it all praise and no criticism for him ? baba hated sycophancy . as a kid , if i said good things about his plays , he\u2019d say : \u201care you praising because your parents have acted in them ? \u201d when he was wrong with his assessment of me , he acknowledged it . i can\u2019t count the number of times he said sorry to people he had unfairly scolded .\nthere are allegations of him being miserly too\u2026 he wasn\u2019t miserly at all . he was the first to acknowledge ajitesh ( bandyopadhyay ) as an actor of repute . he was the first one to acknowledge the contribution of nandikar .\nhow do you adapt ? i have moved away from theatre . i enjoy my play - reading sessions . it\u2019s nice to see youngsters flock to such events . but that doesn\u2019t mean i don\u2019t have my views . when singur happened , i couldn\u2019t stay back . i took to the streets and protested . i\u2019ll again raise my voice if it\u2019s required . but criticism will stalk me . an eminent person had alleged that i had taken rs 50 , 000 as remuneration for being a part of the railway board . doesn\u2019t he know that one has to pay taxes before taking such an amount ?\nhow do you deal with malice ? i remember baba\u2019s words : \u201cthink of what tagore had to face despite being a sensitive soul . \u201d while in college , i was bed - ridden for three years with a complicated case of tuberculosis . i couldn\u2019t move my limbs . instead of complaining , i adjusted , thinking about all those who were in worse conditions .\ndidn\u2019t you try to counsel your parents when they separated ? i did . my mother , mostly . i knew the reasons for their differences . i could understand who were causing mischief and creating situations to make them drift apart . but they were passionately in love with each other till the end . a few months before her death , baba brought her home . i remember an incident . ma was almost in a trance . she had barely uttered something . baba heard it and came to the room . till the time she could keep her eyes open , she kept staring at baba . perhaps she understood that she had been misguided . at the end , she had wanted to say something to baba . but we couldn\u2019t understand her words . so , she gave up .\never thought of confronting the people who fanned the fire ? it was beneath my dignity . during the last few months of her life , i\u2019ve seen how much my parents were in love . whatever she wanted to have , he would get it for her . ekjoner khaiye anondo , ekjoner kheye anondo .\ndid they ever express regret ? baba was always a loner . he could manage on his own .\nwasn\u2019t it a paradox , since he was a people\u2019s person too ? every person is multi - layered .\nwas it an exercise in acting , prompted by a refusal to show his wounds ? he was a private person . loneliness was welcome but he would never sacrifice his dignity . at the end , when he was restricted to bed , he stopped taking food . that\u2019s because if he did , he would need to depend on others to take care of his other biological processes . and he didn\u2019t want to do so . i understood this two / three years after his death .\neven in death , he ensured complete abstinence of any fanfare with his body\u2026 yes . he gave these instructions way back in 1972 . then , he saw what had happened during debabrata biswas\u2019s and even ma\u2019s death . his resolve increased . he insisted that no attempts should be made to deliberately keep him alive .\ndid he have any regrets at the end ? in his delirium , he said politics and morality had to be merged but he hadn\u2019t been able to do so . he also wanted to work on gautam buddha .\ndon\u2019t you feel sad that theatre has hardly been archived ? baba\u2019s philosophy was , unlike cinema or art , theatre is a transient medium .\nyou had taken to the streets to protest . today , why have you distanced yourself so much ? i\u2019ve seen a lot since childhood . i wrote about it . when i saw the sufferings of the farmers , i couldn\u2019t sit back . if some situations demand my protest , i\u2019ll again do so . if i take to the streets daily , i\u2019ll be accused of being publicity - hungry . i voice my views through my articles . i also have a distance from this government .\nthere are rumours that a trade - off has forced you into silence . isn\u2019t the saradha issue grave enough for you to take to the streets ? i am 68 now . i don\u2019t care if people call me an escapist for not having an opinion on every television debate . i\u2019ve grown up hearing that my lineage got me favours . but i never said anything . i\u2019ve learnt to choose my battles . today , i am the chairperson of the paschimbanga bangla academy . it is an honorary post but i work relentlessly . i even check proofs . after a lot of research , we\u2019ve come up with 11 volumes of \u2018rabindra rachanabali\u2019 . it is not a reprint . we have come out with two volumes of bankimchandra chattopadhyay\u2019s works . in the pipeline are dictionaries in four languages .\nbut all this hardly comes to the limelight\u2026 what can i do ? everything is controlled by politics . i am not close to the chief minister . i don\u2019t have any power . i know i don\u2019t share the clout that arpita ( ghosh ) does . even if i request people to write about these , is there any guarantee that it will get published ?\nwhy has that happened ? i don\u2019t know . i think the chief minister has also understood that it is best to keep me at arm\u2019s length . this comfortable distance is nice .\ndon\u2019t you want to revive your ties with bohurupee now ? why would i do that ? i left bohurupee in 1979 . bohurupee also hasn\u2019t wanted to build the relationship .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nthree young musicians are busy composing for the upcoming production of whole 9 yards harlesden high street .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\nthere might be . but unfortunately we currently cannot access them from our system . we are working hard to fill that gap though , check back in tomorrow !\nprime members enjoy unlimited free , fast delivery on eligible items , video streaming , ad -

generation artistes . no hard feelings . he loves bengal and was very happy when he first heard about it ( the award ) but he has his values . after all these years , now he is 92 and can\u2019t be treated like a 29 - year - old or a 51 - year - old . \u201d\nravi shankar\u2019s name was not mentioned throughout the felicitation programme at netaji indoor stadium this evening when the chief minister conferred 13 banga bibhushan awards . the names of 14 recipients of the banga bibhushan , which carries an award of rs 2 lakh each , had figured in the invitation card circulated by the information and cultural affairs department that organised the event .\n\u201cfrom the beginning , when our communication with pandit ravi shankar started , we had made it clear that there was no pressure on him to attend the programme . he is aged and physically unwell and we understand that . we had decided that if he could not make it , we would send him the award , \u201d said a source in the chief minister\u2019s office .\nravi shankar is in hospital in the us . there is a provision to accept awards in absentia through representatives .\n\u201cwhile panditji\u2019s name was the first on the list , most other names cannot compare on grounds of seniority or stature , \u201d said a veteran who knows ravi shankar . \u201cafter all , panditji is not only a recipient of the bharat ratna , three grammy awards and some of the world\u2019s greatest honours , but is also hailed as one of the country\u2019s biggest cultural ambassadors in the west . \u201d\nother sources said that in the mail , ravi shankar had also congratulated the chief minister for the work her government had been doing .\nafter coming to power last year , mamata had instituted the banga bibhushan awards to honour \u201cbengal\u2019s luminaries from various fields\u201d . \u201cthis year , we are considering the names of pandit ravi shankar , suchitra sen and others , \u201d she had said earlier this year .\nthe list , however , turned out to be much longer . a possible explanation for the long list came from mamata herself . \u201cbengal is the cultural capital of the world . be it cinema or theatre or literature or jatra or painting , bengal has an unlimited resource of talented personalities in every field , \u201d the chief minister said .\n\u201cthe banga bibhushan and the banga bhushan shamman are part of the state government\u2019s effort at honouring those who have made bengal proud by way of their immense contribution in their profession . every year the state government will felicitate such personalities at this event , \u201d she added .\nwhen the telegraph spoke to ravi shankar on the eve of his 90th birthday on april 7 in 2010 , the sitar legend , who has been based in the us for more than five decades , had turned emotional , choosing to speak in bengali throughout the conversation .\nit was hard to miss the enthusiasm in his voice when he fielded a question on his next trip to his hometown . ravi shankar had said : \u201ckhub ichchhe achhey kolkatay ashaar . eto bhalobashi kolkata -

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

off meets man on fire but this film does not have any of the quality ' s that those films had . even though nicholas cage is starting to get his groove back , but sadly this film does not showcase anything special .\ni asked abdel how much had changed since 1995 . \u201cnothing much , \u201d he said . we talked about the riots here in 2014 , which were every bit as serious and confrontational with police as those of 1995 . as we chatted , we were followed by unmarked police cars , sharking between the narrow avenues of the area . youths stood look - out for the drug gangs at the edges of apartment blocks . \u201cit\u2019s still here , \u201d he said . \u201cit\u2019s all the same . \u201d\nanyway , this is a cage flick , if you couldn\u2019t tell . that\u2019s a term that has meant different things at different times , but nowadays it tends to involve a story where a family member ( usually a daughter ) is kidnapped or killed and cage is out for revenge . the high point of this era of cage flicks was drive angry , which was the best film of 2011 if you didn\u2019t see it . now , though , it\u2019s devolved through movies like stolen into films like rage . if there\u2019s one word that describes nicolas cage in rage , it\u2019s \u201ctired\u201d . he\u2019s just like , \u201cfuck . another one of these redbox classics ? \u201d we feel your pain . hell , the movie even includes this scene where cage helplessly looks at the script , trying to do anything but open it and start reading :\nit ' s hard to say this is the worst film nicolas cage has ever made - there are just too many contenders to choose from . but it ' s near the bottom .\nthe movie\u2019s portrait of kashmir is radical by bollywood standards . avoiding nationalist arguments , the film portrays the tragic human cost of the conflict and its netherworld of disappearances , military torture and extrajudicial killings .\nwhen an ex -

stirring album with pa paandi , is in charge of the music . in fact , apart from dhanush ' s solid screen presence , the main attraction of the trailer is sean ' s music .\nanthology film archives 32 second avenue tickets are $ 7 and are good for the whole night . tickets go on sale at 5 : 30pm the night of screening at the anthology box office and are available all night .\nin salon , andrew o\u2019hehir makes explicit what is perhaps less so in other reviews . the cultural debates over american sniper , he writes , \u201cdemonstrate how cultural works get reduced to \u2018politics\u2019 in the least interesting sense of that word . \u201d here , o\u2019hehir is voicing not only a lament about the regrettable way our public debates treat artworks , but also a traditional critic\u2019s complaint : in focusing on the content of the film \u2013 how many people the protagonist kills , or the degree to which the depiction of the character accords with the real - life man on whose autobiography the film was based \u2013 people are ignoring the film\u2019s notable formal elements . he closes his review by noting that \u201cthere\u2019s a level of sardonic commentary at work that is sometimes subtle and sometimes pretty damn obvious , \u201d and that at base the film was about \u201can american who thought he knew what he stood for and what his country stood for and never believed he needed to ask questions \u2026 and then paid the price for it . so did we all , and the reception of this film suggests that the payments keep on coming due . \u201d\nit was not all fear and misery however . this was also the year a new film had crash - landed into the french imagination , becoming ultimately a worldwide hit . the film was called la haine ( hate ) and was the story of three young men in one of the wretched housing projects outside paris , commonly referred to as la banlieue . the three lads were a north african , a black guy and an eastern european jew \u2013 an echo of the multiracial mix that would bring france victory in the 1998 world cup . they were cheeky , funny and likable \u2013 a gang of what the french call \u201c branleurs \u201d , which is literally translated as \u201cwankers\u201d but really means young guys who mess about . the core of the story was , however , that they were also full of rage \u2013 against the police , but ultimately against a society that has pushed them to the margins . much of the film\u2019s comedy as well as its social comment comes from the gang\u2019s misadventures in central paris , a world as distant and alien to them as america .\nfinally , here\u2019s a great shot of nicolas cage composing himself before delivering more dialogue in this film . sometimes , you just need a moment , you know ? just close your eyes , imagine the paycheck , and do it .\nin a career spanning over 15 years , dhanush has donned several characters . we ' ve seen him as psychopath lover in kadhal kondein . an innocent kaaru in aadukalam and a fierce gangster kokki kumar in pudhupettai . however , raghuvaran became a rage mainly because of his guy - next - door character . while we ' ve adored his innocence in vip , raghuvaran in vip 2 seems to have a lot of action scenes .\nthese are all intelligent takes , and they all share in some sense o\u2019hehir\u2019s gripe : people who wanted to politicize the film aren\u2019t really seeing it well . like many critics , these writers are to a greater or lesser degree formalists , and believe that to understand a film is to be aware of the subtleties of its construction , in addition to its content . this is what makes it so surprising that there is little mention in their reviews of how formally weak so much of the movie is .\nin the weeks after its release , not surprisingly , the film spawned a great deal of public controversy , which broke down along familiar liberal and conservative lines . the critical reception has been more nuanced , less willing to see the film as a blank political statement , and generally celebratory . richard brody , writing in the new yorker , explains that the film \u201ccontains valor and horror \u2013 the destructive and self - destructive conflicts that are intrinsic to a person endowed with a warrior\u2019s noble nature . as such , it\u2019s a cinematic tragedy in the deepest and most classical sense of the term . \u201d thomas powers , writing for the new york review of books , takes essentially the same approach , noting that the film is one of \u201cdisciplined art and moral complexity\u201d that presents an evolution from the \u201cgung - ho enthusiasm of young men eager to go forth and kick ass for the greatest country in the world , to the half - strangled confusion of men who have suffered and killed for reasons that slip away like water in sand . \u201d\nkassovitz was fearless too . when the film premiered at the cannes film festival \u2013 where it was a huge critical success \u2013 the police on duty turned their backs on kassovitz and his crew , perceiving the film as an anti - police polemic . kassovitz swaggered his way through the storm . inevitably , jean - marie le pen , then leader of the front national , stormed into the fray , calling for \u201cthese yobs to be sent to jail\u201d . kassovitz shrugged off the criticism . the fact that alain jupp\u00e9 organised a special screening for his cabinet more than proved the point : that in 1995 la haine seemed to describe exactly what was wrong with france . in one of its blackest years , it seemed both to capture the mood of the country and turn it into great art\nthe film , which opened internationally on oct . 2 , drew a fierce reaction on social media from hindu nationalists , who called for a boycott . kashmir , a disputed territory claimed by both india and pakistan , remains a sensitive subject on the indian subcontinent .\nvelai illa pattadhari was an important film for dhanush , as much it was for velraj , the cinematographer - turned - director . vip , which happened to be dhanush ' s 25th film , left an indelible mark among the tamil audience . sure , one might argue over the fact that it ' s a masala film of the highest degree . and that ' s true . in some ways , vip is also a textbook example of how to tell a masala story . for the same , writer - director velraj deserves credit . velai illa pattadhari tells the story of an unemployed youth raghuvaran ( dhanush ) , a civil engineer , who aspires to work in a core company . when everything falls in place , raghuvaran locks horns with a business tycoon arun subramaniam ( amitash pradhan ) .\nla haine , the controversial 1995 drama that held up a mirror to the social ills of modern france , arrived during a dark time in the country\u2019s history . twenty years on , with a sequel mooted and france again experiencing uncertain times , we reflect on the film\u2019s lasting significance\nit\u2019s just incredible , really . i couldn\u2019t take my eyes off of it for the entirety of the film , but in those first ten minutes , i understood what dave saw in the monolith . it\u2019s ok . it\u2019s alright . i can die now . i have found peace .\ni would like to be an extra in this film . i also have an 12 yr . old son and 10 yr . old daughter that would love the experience . is there any age requirements ? my phone number is 251 - 577 - 6825 . please call if you need anything .\nit is sad to see a film begin so well , relying on stunning visuals and an impressive performance by swank , and then go downhill in a second half that suffers from some serious problems of tone and does itself a great disservice by abruptly shifting the lead role from her to jones .\neven in the film\u2019s fourth week in theaters , the controversy surrounding it shows little sign of abating . it has been banned in pakistan , where the censors claimed \u2014 surprisingly , for a movie that casts a negative light on the indian state \u2014 that \u201chaider\u201d was \u201cagainst the ideology of pakistan . \u201d\nneither tragic or particularly unintentionally funny , rage slogs forward with blood - spurting pathos to an ultimately disingenuous twist conclusion , offering little more than a revenge relic pretending that the ethical treatise of a history of violence never happened . it\u2019s as if director paco cabezas relishes the shotgun - pumping climax of rolling thunder not as an end , but a methodology , since the film takes every opportunity to be as gruesome as possible . perhaps even this is giving cabezas too much credit , since his sophomoric , gut - check theatrics are more tailored to direct - to - video aesthetics , replete with atrocious dialogue like \u201ci need some help . can you meet me by the construction site ? \u201d and perpetual bursts of violence , ultimately amounting to an unsightly cinematic m\u00e9lange of bloodshed and mayhem , accompanied by grating heavy metal on the soundtrack .\nthe consensus back in paris , however , is that this wouldn\u2019t be a follow - up in the conventional sense but rather a much darker version of what was already a tough film . in the banlieue of bobigny i spoke to gilles favier , the photographer who had worked on the original film . he was clear about what had got worse in the banlieue . \u201cin 1995 i had my doubts whether a black guy , a jew and an arab would be friends , \u201d he said . \u201cbut now everything is much more divided . and this is because of the rise of political islam in the banlieue . this is what created more division and tension and so now it is not just youth against the police or the state , but also youth who are wanting to kill jews and go to syria . la haine was about friends and maybe some hope . nowadays i think you could only make a film about despair . \u201d\n\u201ci\u2019m not apologetic , or scared , or afraid , \u201d he said , noting that he had been denounced or threatened for his journalistic work on several occasions . \u201ci\u2019m proud of a lot of stories and moments in this film . within the limits of bollywood , we pushed things as far as we could . \u201d\nthis brings me back to my sympathy - for - cage theme . everybody gives nic a hard time for these paycheck roles in wretched movies\u2014and believe me ,\nrage\nis pretty wretched , a dull , lifeless thing even in spite of its efforts , old - school grindhouse picture - style , to put an exploitation - nihilist spin on the dad - with - action - movie - skills - on - the - rampage boilerplate\u2014but , you know , peter stormare actually used to work for ingmar bergman , and he earns no disapprobation for turning up in the likes of this , let alone for egregiously hamming it up as he does . one of the odd features of these latter - day wannabe b - pictures is the way they pander to their more ostensibly distinguished cast member , in this case giving the characters played by stormare , glover , and finally cage these big dramatic monologues , each filled with hot air lines such as \u201cnot everyone could get out as clean as you could . \u201d the only way to get out of\nrage\nclean is not to get into it in the first place .\ni hadn ' t seen this 1991 heist comedy until last week , and although it is not a lost masterwork , the film has its charms ( notably a terrific score and deep bench of acting talent ) . it ' s one of those movies that may not fully hang together , but it works in select moments .\nwednesday , march , 16 the power of letters in this creative writing workshop will be open to village leadership academy students ! workshop participants will begin with a walk - through of the \u201cweight of rage\u201d exhibition , paying particular attention to open letters crafted by p - nap students in a \u201cwriting time and place\u201d seminar . students will compose their own open letters in response to the exhibition , and have the opportunity to expand and refine their written work through the workshop process . this workshop will be facilitated by audrey petty , writer and member of the p - nap teaching collective .\nvelai illa pattadhari 2 is impressive in terms of its supporting characters . the film has national award - winning actor samuthirakani playing dhanush ' s father , while amala paul retains her role as his raghuvaran ' s love interest . the success of velai illa pattadhari goes partly to saranya ponvannan , who left the audience teary - eyed .\nas for la haine , it\u2019s ironic that a film once held up as the mirror of all french social ills now seems to be , in retrospect , a document from a golden age . but these are difficult and dangerous days in france \u2013 and all the more the reason why la haine 2 is awaited with bated breath .\ni\u2019m still not entirely sure what happened in the film . nic does one of his standard \u201ccrazy eyes and yells\u201d at the val kilmer look alike before murdering him and i didn\u2019t get it . the twist is also super underwhelming as it just leads to a terrible misunderstanding bringing up old wounds and it never really was interesting beyond that .\nin the new york times , rachel saltz suggested that the movie \u201cgrafts its source story less convincingly to its setting\u201d than mr . bhardwaj\u2019s previous efforts while providing \u201cthe occasional sharp reminder of how cinematically he can construct shakespearean moments . \u201d over the weekend , \u201chaider\u201d won the people\u2019s choice award in the world genre category at the rome film festival .\nmr . peer said he felt that \u201chaider\u201d could chart a new direction . \u201cwhen i told vishal the basic premise , he had no problems with it , \u201d he said . \u201ci felt , this is already a big start . nobody in mumbai , nobody in the last 25 years in the film industry , had even come close . \u201d\nthe homesman\nis a remarkable western delving into numerous social issues all but ignored by other films of the genre ( such as the role of marriage , the church ' s role in society , women ' s role in society , and social standing ) . very good acting by all players and skilled directing by jones make this nearly action - free film well worth seeing .\nthe hindu front for justice , a group of rightist lawyers , petitioned india\u2019s allahabad high court to seek a ban on screenings of the film , arguing that \u201chaider\u201d was against the \u201cnational interest . \u201d mr . bhardwaj and mr . peer have until nov . 15 to reply . the movie is likely to complete its theatrical run in india by mid - november , in any case .\nthe film takes a more eccentric turn as the action relocates to rural connecticut , where brinnin stows thomas away in a desperate attempt at detoxification ahead of the poet\u2019s next scheduled speaking engagement . there , the boozy , beat - aspiring intervention of a local literary couple ( played by kevin eldon and shirley henderson , the latter in her most impishly neurotic form ) briefly pulls the film into burroughs - lite territory before a more sentimental streak kicks in . even at its most disheveled , however , \u201cstars\u201d retains a certain disciplined coziness . the deranged deterioration of thomas\u2019 psyche is successfully channeled in only one genuinely unnerving scene : a hallucinated , reproachful monologue from his wife caitlin , startlingly played by kelly reilly with enough concentrated erotic fury to steal the entire picture in a matter of minutes .\ngoing by the teaser , it ' s not surprising that soundarya rajinikanth has retained most of the elements that worked in the film ' s predecessor . though she made her directorial debut with superstar rajinikanth playing the titular role , kochadaiiyaan was a box - office dud . that said , soundarya is very likely to make a strong comeback with velai illa pattadhari 2 and is evident in the trailer .\nwhen an ex - mobster\u2019s daughter is found dead , the repressed return with a vengeance that feels more like a whimper in \u201c rage , \u201d a silly and shopworn nicolas cage action vehicle that plays like a poor man\u2019s \u201ctaken , \u201d \u201cmystic river\u201d and \u201ca history of violence\u201d rolled into one . proficiently made but fatally unpersuasive in its portrayal of internecine gang warfare , this thuggish melodrama piles on the foreign accents and paint - by - numbers brutality , all served up with a grim , operatic self - seriousness that gives cage\u2019s antihero little room to maneuver . spanish genre helmer paco cabezas\u2019 english - language debut will find a few fans on vod , where it\u2019s rolling out simultaneously with its limited theatrical release .\nabout halfway through we ( he and director bill duke ) were looking at a scene , and i turned to bill and said ' you know , that wasn ' t quite as funny as it was in the script . and i don ' t know why . ' and he said to me , ' we ' re not making no g - - damn comedy . ' i ' d raised the entire money for this film on the basis that it was a comedy . it was chester himes , it was supposed to be funny . and a shiver went down my spine and i hoped that bill was joking . but i realized he thought we were making ' porgy and bess ' and from there on in , i had to be on that film , on that set all the time .\nthere is again something oddly revealing , i think , in this rather gentle attempt to turn another of the film\u2019s formal deficiencies into a strength . to create a plot about a rather plotless situation \u2013 a sniper doing four tours \u2013 eastwood and his screenwriter create not one , but two individual villains for kyle to defeat . the first is a particularly nefarious iraqi henchman \u2013 \u201cthe butcher\u201d \u2013 and the second is the enemy sniper mustafa . in terms of a war film , this is a childish decision : it reduces a large - scale situation of chaos and violence into a morally manageable , small - scale scenario in which \u201cbad guys\u201d are identified and put down . to slide past this , we insist that it\u2019s not really a war film at all , but a western , and further that the character of mustafa isn\u2019t ridiculous \u2013 he\u2019s evil , he dresses in black \u2013 but is actually a symbolic representation of the \u201csavagery\u201d in kyle\u2019s own heart . ( one is tempted to ask how far this symbolism goes . of what are the kid and woman in the first scene symbolic ? how about the iraqi who is hiding in a palm tree and falls rather comically into the midst of the american troops when kyle kills him ? )\nfor some reason , they had water on the camera lens during this scene and didn\u2019t bother to clean it . so this entire sequence is slightly blurry , and the technical incompetence behind the scenes on this film obscures the majesty of cage\u2019s flowing mane . this is up there with vic morrow\u2019s death on the set of the twilight zone in terms of horrible filmmaking , and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves .\nnot to be confused with the disposable 1989 eddie murphy vanity project\nharlem nights ,\nthe movie is adapted from the chester himes crime novel of the same name . its pulpy 1950s setting straddles the line between comedy and hard - boiled \u2014 though not always successfully . tonally , there ' s something a little confused about the film . producer stephen woolley described tensions behind the camera a few years ago in an interview for bbc radio :\ntoward the end of the film , when kyle finally kills his nemesis , the evil enemy sniper mustafa , he places himself and his fellow soldiers in great danger . they\u2019ve been secreted on top of a building , and the enemy troops hear the shot and surround them . as the firefight begins , kyle calls his wife and tells her that he\u2019s ready to come home . things look bleak . fortunately , a massive sandstorm descends on the city , which gives kyle and his comrades a chance to escape . in the blurry running firefight that ensues , kyle is almost left behind . he symbolically and melodramatically loses his grip on his sniper rifle . we cut to a shot of the rifle lying on the ground , being covered over with blowing sand . it is a perfect image . not because of the metaphor the film seems to think it\u2019s making \u2013 look at this object of expertise and violence and manhood , wasted by the folly of the world . no , it\u2019s perfect because the baldness of the symbolism captures exactly the way the film\u2019s vision of itself as non - ideological is a poor mask for its ideology . it confuses pathos with the serious moral considerations incumbent in making art about the act of killing , and mistakenly believes that an argument for the wasted nobility of the warrior can be disconnected from an argument about the nobility of war .\nthis sequence is an object lesson in narrative cynicism . it presents us with what is purportedly a moment of real tension , involving the possibility of shooting an innocent child : kyle reports to his superiors that he believes he sees a grenade ; his spotter notes that if he\u2019s wrong he\u2019s going to prison . but we have seen very clearly that the kid is in fact holding a grenade . the composition and clarity of the shots leave no doubt in our minds . thus , the film builds an edifice of serious moral danger , while at the same time resolving that danger in advance ; it allows us to wallow in the threat of the moment while knowing the whole time that it will be okay in the end . what is presented as peril is nothing more than a disguised confirmation of infallibility : kyle will not \u2013 here or anywhere else in the film \u2013 kill someone who does not deserve it .\nlargely a two - hander , or a two - seater , \u201c # stuck\u201d sticks with a man and a woman who are cooped up together during an interminable los angeles traffic jam , and every minute of their captivity is keenly felt . all they start with in common is a drunken hookup the night before , and this allows the film\u2019s writer and director , stuart acher , to lead us down a nattering road to mutual appreciation and triumph over shame .\nthe ever - committed actor is invariably the most interesting thing in whatever schlock he turns up in , and that\u2019s the case with\nrage ,\na payback thriller that\u2019s not quite a gloss on\ntaken .\nthe reason he\u2019s the most interesting thing here is not because his performances is particularly intense or eccentric but because everything around him is so wretchedly dull . \u201cpete , i\u2019m out of the game , you know that , \u201d cage\u2019s character , paul , announces to a character named pete , aptly enough , early on in the movie ; dialogue like that only means the character\u2019s going to be drawn back into the game at some point in the movie . paul is a one - time criminal turned building contractor , which is a great profession for a one - time criminal to be in because there\u2019s so little corruption in that field .\nthis was dazzling cinema but most importantly , it was the first time the banlieue had ever been represented to a mainstream french audience . the film was an immediate and massive hit and galvanised the part of france that knew the banlieues existed but had never seen them up close or dealt with in a sympathetic way . the director of la haine , mathieu kassovitz , was then only 26 years old , but he had somehow managed to rewrite everything that people thought they knew about french cinema .\nszoka declines to dig up more than a smattering of old photos ; old snapshots are a documentary trope but a reliable one for a reason . context is everything , and it ' s not so much that rain is an unreliable narrator but that the film is missing any kind of outside perspective . visually , the camera rarely strays anywhere beyond the inside of the theater where rain performs and a few glimpses on her on the beach with child . it all feels so contained . too contained .\nstill , there\u2019s a lot of content in that hair , and nicolas cage makes this movie worth watching because of it . if that isn\u2019t the sign of a great actor , i don\u2019t know what is . the film itself is so depressing and boring that i\u2019m glad cage had the foresight to give us something to talk about . so , i\u2019d like to spend the rest of this review sharing the remaining screenshots i took with all of you . let\u2019s take a look at a side view :\nthe homesman is a thoroughly depressing experience with little energy . the idea of throwing a feminist and a curmudgeon on a road trip is inspired . but our central duo are not nearly engaging as they should be . it ' s mostly forgettable except for a few amusing moments . out of the blue a grizzled tommy lee jones gets up and dances a zesty jig while singing by the campfire . in another scene , he torches a hotel in a spiteful rage and that got my pulse quickening a bit . oh james spader ' s pompous hotelier is another high point in a production that usually operates a constant low . the story is inert . to make matters worse , a late dramatic development just happens abruptly . the perplexing act ostensibly motivated by religious guilt . the script is frustratingly cloudy on that point and when the chronicle isn ' t vague , it ' s just dull . urltoken\nhow , given this context , does american sniper operate as a revisionist western ? it presents us with exactly the ideological metaphor \u2013 the innocent sheep , evil wolves , and noble sheepdog \u2013 that is under attack from much of the revisionist western tradition . and it never seriously challenges this metaphor . clearly , the central assertion of the film is that there are strong men who represent the paragon of \u201cmanhood\u201d and who pay a heavy price for defending the rest of us . ( this is the point of richard brody\u2019s invocation in his review of the \u201cwarrior\u2019s noble nature . \u201d ) kyle is a born sheepdog . there are wolves out there \u2013 nearly every iraqi presented in the film is shown to be evil , and to have no legitimate reason for their actions , other than their evilness . there are sheep , too . these are the american public and kyle\u2019s family , of course , but also the american soldiers who are weaker , or who doubt the war , are less manly than kyle . all of them need to be protected .\nnew delhi \u2014 the bollywood director vishal bhardwaj has made his name by adapting shakespeare into film , using the plays to reflect the violence and vicissitudes of modern india . \u201c maqbool , \u201d an adaptation of \u201cmacbeth , \u201d was set in the mumbai underworld ; \u201c omkara \u201d transported \u201cothello\u201d to the feudal badlands of northern india . his latest effort , a loose adaptation of \u201chamlet\u201d called \u201c haider , \u201d which takes place in kashmir during the turbulent 1990s , has become the most acclaimed and contentious bollywood movie of the year .\nit\u2019s in groping for the full weight of tragedy that \u201crage\u201d turns risible . cabezas ( \u201cneon flesh\u201d ) has a weakness for treating cliches like epiphanies : the moment of caitlin\u2019s disappearance is signaled by the ominous plop of a raindrop , and laurent eyquem\u2019s dramatic score tends to surge excessively whenever the characters raise their voices , which is fairly often . one sequence at the end , played out in agonizing slow - mo , has the perhaps unintended effect of momentarily turning the picture into a gun - control ad . cage , still an agile and inventive performer ( see david gordon green\u2019s recent \u201cjoe\u201d ) , isn\u2019t well served by the solemn , bludgeoning tone of the proceedings ; his occasional outbursts and the movie\u2019s title aside , the actor actually seems somewhat straitjacketed here . still , he fares better than danny glover , who plays a world - weary detective forced to utter lines like \u201ca rap sheet as long as my dick . \u201d\nthe semi - contemporary classic ode to journalism all the president ' s men by bob woodward and carl bernstein , which chronicles the washington post ' s watergate investigation , is experiencing a revival . book sales are on the rise and the la times this week reported that it may get a made - for - tv makeover . additionally , there may even be a tv or film version of the duo ' s sequel , the final days , which recounts the days inside the white house leading up to president richard nixon ' s resignation .\nand then , when you arrive , it all starts to feel a bit weird . this is mainly because chanteloup is a cheaply built piece of 1960s brutalism , grafted on to the french countryside . like nearly all of the most notorious french banlieues , it has the queasy artificiality of a science - fiction set . this strangeness is captured in the film when vinz , who is not sure if he is stoned or not , sees a cow wandering through the estate\u2019s concrete alleyways . weirder still are the giant frescoes of the poets rimbaud , baudelaire and others that dominate the market square . these were well - meant gestures of cultural aspiration from the 1960s \u2013 but today the effect is orwellian , like a big picture of ts eliot glowering down at you in tower hamlets . i asked my newfound mates at the sfenj stall if they recognised the images and whether they meant anything to them . they all shrugged with indifference . \u201cto us , they\u2019re just like a cultural gestapo , \u201d said abdel moulah bouloudji , who featured in the original film . \u201cnothing to do with us . \u201d"]}

for that idea alone , the film deserves commendation : there is a great deal more happening here , musically , than riddims and bad hip hop imitations .\na painfully unfunny zombie - comedy road movie that feels a good hour longer than it actually is whilst the best bit is a ten second clip of the evil dead . on a technical level i\u2019ve seen a lot worse but there was something about the film\u2019s try - hard approach that annoyed the hell out of me .\nbrent meeske ' s ' ' end of the road ' ' is a documentary about the last grateful dead tour in 1995 , but it doesn ' t follow the band . its subject is the devotees , the deadheads who formed shantytown bazaars in the parking lots of arenas and stadiums around the country - - the world , probably . they ' re awash in tie - dyed outfits that scrupulously eschew chic and in patchouli oil , and they ' re caught in that twirling , knee - bending and head - shaking that passed for dancing at a dead show .\n- you know , every armenian filmmaker i\u2019ve met has an idea of how they would make a new film about the armenian genocide . i\u2019ll be honest ; i also have a vision for a film about the genocide . but my vision requires a lot of time , effort and most importantly , money , to be translated onto the screen accurately . i will not embark on producing such a project about that important issue until i am fully capable as a filmmaker . one thing i will try to do is occasionally keep armenians , and armenia , prominent in most of my films . instances of that can be seen in \u201cabstraction\u201d and a few of the other projects i\u2019m developing .\nthis project was done with humor , truth , and sarcasm . at the university of california , santa cruz , ucsc , where i went to college , there were many fans of the grateful dead . they called themselves deadheads . i had not heard of the band before attending the school . i listened to the music , and i didn ' t understand why people felt so passionately about the band . i was intrigued . so in 1986 , i decided to try and understand these people and the music they loved , and to create a video of my quest . this documentary project is the result . enjoy .\nin his proclamation , mills said that conyers and rockdale county have long been desirable film locations \u201csince the days of filming the iconic television series \u2018in the heat of the night\u2019 and \u2018dukes of hazzard . \u2019 the nbc television network broadcast \u2018in the heat of the night\u2019 from 1988 to 1992 , and \u2018dukes of hazzard\u2019 ran on cbs from 1979 to 1985 .\ndead heads is a difficult film to dislike : the whole thing is done with such knowing charm that it pulls you willingly along for the ride . yes , it\u2019s flawed and silly and runs out of steam in the end , but the good points outweigh the bad and the leads are both funny and likeable enough to ensure that an audience invests in their story .\npalaceworks motion graphic and design palaceworks is a multi - disciplinary design studio located in los angeles . they have designed titles and film posters for numerous films , from big budget studio blockbusters to arthouse gems . they have a studio in the highland park neighborhood of los angeles where they spend way too much of their time . their work can be seen at palaceworks . net .\nin 1981 , david began taking filmmaking courses at city college of san francisco \u2013 in a film department a bit larger than a broom closet with a great collection of instructors . he began making offbeat comedies , usually with some kind of provocative or political edge , and found that he loved the medium , the process , and the opportunity to communicate with a large audience .\noz nesbitt , chairman of the rockdale county board of commissioners , reads a proclamation honoring the local film industry and its economic impact in the community . also shown , from left , are randy mills , mayor of conyers ;

minute animated sequence in the last reel where jerry has just passed and they are recapping the film , \u201d lewars says . \u201cimages are overlaid on top of images . we colored those plates in hyper saturation , pushing it almost to the breaking point .\n- honestly , the entire film was difficult to produce due to the micro - budget we had for the project . if i had to choose one particular part of the shoot being the most difficult , it would have to be the time we flipped over the cargo van . the car crash sequence in \u201cabstraction\u201d took us months to prepare and involved a stunt driver , riggers , safety personnel , location managers , and a large crew shooting with six cameras . even with our limited budget , we had to make safety a top priority for everyone involved .\nabramorama , which has had great success with music and concert movies , was the natural partner for the theatrical release of this well - received , detailed documentary about the ultimate devoted fan rock band . at four hours , the non - fiction film made a chancy platform release . before opening friday , abramorama booked a one - day thursday showing in 47 theaters , along with full -

80s , this began to affect the content of david\u2019s films , particularly in the short film song from an angel which featured san francisco performer rodney price doing a song and tap - dance about his own death , two weeks before he died of aids .\n- i have a few other films i\u2019m developing at my production company , pib productions . one of them is \u201cmoira\u201d , a compelling narrative feature film about the aftermath of a hit -

lev with band members and their associates , as well as a mountain of concert footage and other archival media . all that made editorial conforming complex as jenson ( using autodesk flame ) had to keep the diverse source material organized and make it fit properly into a single timeline . \u201cwe had conversions that were made from old analog tapes , archival band footage , dpx scans from film and everything in between , \u201d he recalls . \u201cthere was a lot of cool stuff , which was great , but it required attention to detail to ensure it came out nice and smooth . \u201d\na little more than a month after the incident in deer creek , garcia died , and the film ends the way it began , with a candlelight vigil that morphs into a tribute to the band . garcia ' s daughter annabelle thanks the fans for their support : ' ' y ' all put us through college , ' ' she jokes . others say a few words , too , including wavy gravy , who spins a haiku , and the remaining dead : bill kreutzmann , mickey hart , phil lesh and the ageless bob weir , whose voice cracks while he speaks .

handed or turgid , due to director henry hathaway ' s light touch , the script ' s cheeky sense of humor and the consistently wry , charismatic presence of cooper and tone . their prickly friendship , forged out of equal parts respect , competitive one -

with anything else in life . . . there are bottom feeders as well as bottom feeder owners . any of you from ny / nj metro know the couple of companies i ' m talking about . . . . some , ( or at least one ) , of which caused some of the biggest problems when associations were trying to get started .\nchod rig - the chod is a pop up rig used to present bait over weedy or silty bottom lakes . can be used for most species but a favourite for carp anglers . see fishing the chod\nhair rig - mainly used in carp angling this is a method of attaching bait where the bait is threaded onto a short thin section of line which hangs from the back or bottom of the hook .\nfeeder rod - this is made for casting feeders which can be fairly heavy when filled with groundbait . these rods are generally from 9ft to 12 ft and made stronger and more stiffer than float rods .\n7 . in a bird feeder according to claim 6 wherein said screen and lip are integral , and wherein said lip is bent essentially at a

. it seems way too slow , and i ' m beginning to believe that aquatic form for druids is actually faster than the mount . it ' s a long time to fish for reputation and drowned mana , so why isn ' t it more rewarding ? what do you guys think ?\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\n- a weight that an angler attaches to his / her fishing line and used to check the depth of the water . this can either be a small conical weight with cork fixed at the bottom or a clip on type . see\nin the aquarium , bottom feeders are popular as it is perceived that they will clean the algae that grows in the tank . generally , they are only useful for consuming the extra ( fresh ) food left by overfed or clumsy livestock ; the added biomass of additional organisms means that the aquarium will likely be more dirty . some specialized bottom feeders are more specifically sold as\nalgae eaters\nto increase the amount of free oxygen and aesthetic appeal of a tank .\n9 . in a bird feeder according to claim 5 wherein a second end wall remote from said at least one end wall has a notched underside that extends across said side walls and is relieved upwardly above said ledges a distance slightly exceeding the screen thickness , whereby , when said screen is fully inserted into said feeder , that edge of the screen opposite the lip extends at least partially beneath the inner vertical surface of said remote end wall .\n[ 0015 ] figs . 5 and 6 are top and side views respectively of a ground - type feeder incorporating the novel screen supports , but enabling its removal by either inverting the trough or lifting the screen from below .\nbottom feeder is another in a long line of \u201cpeople get stalked by a monster in the sewers\u201d movies that i\u2019ve been covering on cult corner . much like most of the others there isn\u2019t really a whole lot of plot to go over . sure , there\u2019s some backstory to the creature involving a scientist , a betrayal , and a guy who looks like the batman villain two - face if he were wheelchair - bound , but the film\u2019s plot still boils down to a monster killing people .\nnecro - ing this a little , but with the underwater broken shore world quest showing up more often , i tried to use the brinedeep bottom - feeder on my toons that don ' t have the underlight angler , and sadly mounting up on it or any water mount breaks the breathing helmets you get for going down there too . initially i was excited for the world quest , until i noticed i would loose my underwater breathing if i mounted up . so it ' s not even useful for that either .\nin many bottom feeders , a mechanism to deal with substrate is often necessary . in the case of some organisms such as sea cucumbers , the sand is usually passed through the body . in fish , sand will be pumped out of the mouth through the gill slit .\n6 . in a bird feeder according to claim 4 wherein said screen has a downwardly - extending lip at that edge of the screen in said open area to enable grasping of the screen by said lip for horizontal physically sliding of the screen during its removal and installation .\nthey really think paying their subcontractors for weddings $ 20 - $ 25 / hour is decent -

' t keep dj ' s .\n[ 0023 ] figs . 5 and 6 illustrate another type of feeder which can stand on legs 42 directly on the ground or some other flat surface . alternatively , the feeder of figs . 5 and 6 may be mounted on a tree or suspended at its corners from chains . with such a feeder , slidability of the screen 12 \u2032 as illustrated in the preferred form of the invention is unnecessary , since there is no superstructure such as a hopper above the trough . for cleaning the trough , the feeder may simply be turned over to remove the screen and residue , or the screen can be pushed upwardly from below . for this reason , at least two opposing side walls of the trough should be grooved for reception of ledges similar to those in the earlier embodiment . or , in anticipation of heavier wildlife such as squirrels also feeding from the trough , ledges can be provided on all four walls of the trough 10 \u2032 as shown in these figures . as a result of the fact that the ledges are made of a plastic material on which water only beads instead of sheets , the screen 12 \u2032 prime is easily and quickly removable for cleaning during freezing temperatures .\nin fish , most bottom feeders exhibit a flat ventral region so as to more easily rest their body on the substrate . the exception may be the flatfish , which are laterally depressed but lie on their sides . also , many exhibit what is termed an\ninferior\nmouth , which means that the mouth is pointed downwards ; this is beneficial as their food is often going to be below them in the substrate . those bottom feeders with upward - pointing mouths , such as stargazers , tend to seize swimming prey . some flatfish such as halibut actually have a\nmigrating\neye that moves to the upward - facing side of the fish as it ages .\naction - description of the flexibility of a rod . rods have a fast or slow action . fast action rods are generally stiffer overall but bend more at the tip . these are often used in feeder fishing . slow action rods are more flexible with some flexing their entire length . these are mainly float fishing rods .\nbraided line - or braid for short is a low diameter , low stretch fishing line , made by braiding together several strands of man made fibre . used primarily as very strong hook length material when targeting big carp or specimen fish . braided line is very strong yet supple and has the advantage of blending in with the river or lake bottom\n[ 0012 ] fig . 2 is a fragmentary view taken along lines 2 - 2 of fig . 1 , illustrating the trough in cross - section taken essentially along lines 2 - 2 of fig . 1 , as part of a hopper - type feeder which may be either suspended from chains or supported on a pole .\n8 . in a bird feeder according to claim 5 wherein said at least one end wall that extends across said side walls has an underside surface of the same plastic material as said ledges , said underside surface and the top surfaces of said ledges being vertically spaced a distance allowing free sliding motion of said screen during its removal and reinstallation .\nthe size of the feeder and thus the trough may be of any suitable dimensions for such feeders , keeping in mind that the stiffness of the screen and the number and dimensions of the ledges on which the screen is supported should be selected in accordance with the type of birds or other wildlife normally expected to seek food at the particular feeder . the grooves which receive the ledges can be made to receive them snuggly , since expansion of the wood in which the grooves are made is of no significance , such as it would be if the grooves actually supported the edges of the screen as in prior art designs . there is little chance of any contact of any of the wooden elements of the trough or other parts of the feeder with the metal screen ; consequently , freezing moisture has little opportunity to cause sticking of the screen to its support . the screen 12 it totally and completely supported on the uhmw - pe material in the figs . 1 - 4 embodiment . it can be noted that there is some slight clearance between the outer edges of the screen 12 \u2032 relative to the inner surfaces of the side and end walls of the ground feeder of figs . 5 - 6 to avoid ice formation on wet wood from inhibiting removal of the screen 12 \u2032 . caking of feed residue , snow and ice can gather around the edges of the screen 12 \u2032 , but since there is no sliding action required for the screen as in the preferred embodiment , removal is not that difficult .\nback shot - back shot can be the piece of shot placed up the line behind a sliding leger or feeder or is a piece of shot placed on the line behind a float to help keep it steady in windy conditions . the piece of shot is placed about a foot away from the float tip and is usually a piece of shot from the float rig so it doesn ' t sink\nindie development ' s self - declared crazy old uncle in the attic . founded spiderweb software in 1994 . since then , has written many games , including the exile , geneforge , avadon , and avernum series and nethergate : resurrection . has also done much writing , including the grumpy gamer series for computer games magazine , the view from the bottom series for ign , and the book the poo bomb : true tales of parental terror .\ni guess they could have shown something far worse than this , and for that i ' ll give it an extra credit . but bare in mind , there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to watch bottom feeder . so , if you ' re into creature movies , look elsewhere , if you ' re into low budgets , or indie projects , again , nothing to see here , try elsewhere , you are bound to find something , anything , better than this . but if you do decide to play it , just lower your expectations , as much as you can , and watch it at your own peril . some moments you will have to question your decision , others , perhaps acknowledge that you did a bad thing and probably there is no way out . i mean if you do get halfway , i guess there is nothing more to do but endure . cheers !\nthere ' s always talk that the bottom - feeders are hurting the quality of the industry . but , these cheap multi - ops are not helping either ; they ' re contributing to it . personally , i feel that if a multi - op is going to subcontract a dj for a wedding - - and the dj has to provide all of the equipment , in addition to making sure their music is current and the dj has insurance - - than you should be paying that dj no less than 60 % of what you ' re billing the bride and groom for the dj entertainment .\nin fig . 2 , i illustrate the trough 10 and screen 12 being used in conjunction with a superstructure 28 in the form of wooden ends 30 ( only one of which is shown ) and a pair of transparent hopper sides 32 which conventionally are vertically insertable from above into grooves formed in the wooden ends 30 . the ends 30 and sides 32 form a hopper for containing seed therebetween . since the hopper , the manner of placing the feed into the hopper and the manner of either suspending the feeder from chains or mounting it on a post are not a part of the novel aspect of my preferred form of the invention of figs . 1 - 4 , let it suffice to say they can be any of several different structural designs .\nfor a number of years , the troughs of bird feeders have been provided with screens to enable drainage of rainwater or melted snow therethrough , to keep the feed dry . prior to that , feed and shucks of seed such as sunflower would accumulate and cake , and , especially if the temperature were below freezing , would freeze into hard - to - remove clumps . cleaning was difficult , but had to be done in order for fresh seed to move downwardly by gravity from the conventional hopper into the trough . in addition , bird excrement would sometimes accumulate with the seed residue and would place birds at risk from spread of disease . their excrement sometimes also acted as a binding agent , effectively gluing the expended seed remains to the bottom . this made cleaning somewhat difficult , even in temperatures above freezing .\nleech , or in other words a total lack of responsibility to provide for oneself . relies heavily upon friends , neighbors or anyone really for sustenance . a slacker through and through

when i equipped my under light angler with the fish form buff , the mount goes even faster . to what percentage , i am uncertain but the mount increases swim speed , so if you can get your base swim speed to increase then the mount should work on top of that .\ni did exactly what you did , all last sunday . not happy , and i am surprised it isn ' t on the list of changes for 7 . 1 this needs to

based combat with hand - edited fights , like all our other games . we ' re working hard to make sure the fights are fresh and don ' t repeat themselves .\nthe game system will be skill - based . there won ' t be character classes . you can pick your skills from four different trees , hopefully allowing for a wide variety of different builds and strategies .\nyour characters are stranded deep in a hostile land , and i want the feel of combat to support this . when you leave the base and get into fights , they will wear you down . the missions won ' t drag you down with lots of trash fights , but each battle will exhaust you . you will have to conserve your power and choose when to use your best abilities and items to push all the way to victory .\ni wrote this blog post before the kickstarter started , planning to post it on the second day of the campaign . i genuinely didn ' t expect that it would have funded by now . i am humbled by your generosity and faith in us .\nbarring my getting run over by a bus , we hope for queen ' s wish to be done by may , 2019 . based on the size of game we have planned and what we have done so far , this seems very doable . it ' s a crowded market , but i will do my best to make something surprising and unique , and i think i will succeed .\n. i went through it front to back , spending over 90 hours ( normal / classic difficulty ) . it ' d be a pity to expend so much time if i didn ' t get a blog post out of it .\ndivinity : original sin 2 ( or dos2 as i ' ll call it ) is really the ideal of the indie aesthetic . it feels like it ' s a product of actual humans , and it clearly wants to deliver one pure , special , niche experience . it ' s a big , weird game that ' s made a bajillion dollars . it doesn ' t care about any of the rough edges , as long as it follows its vision purely .\nand there are rough edges . there are long periods of time where dos2 feels like a gigantic clump of rough edges awkwardly glued together .\nlet ' s dive in . it ' s a big , weird game that ' s made a bajillion dollars . plenty to say about it .\nin my bag , i have an ancient sword , an arrowhead , panties , a bowl , and wood chips . any one of them might end up necessary . never ever drop anything .\nit ' s an enormous , turn - based , story - heavy fantasy rpg with a lot of gameplay and long , very difficult , involved battles . it ' s a tough game . it ' s got a lot of wild multiplayer options , though i ' ll be focusing on single - player stuff . it took me over 90 hours to play , and i skipped a lot of quests .\nyou don ' t need to play the previous game to enjoy it . it takes place in a different era or something . i tried to play the previous game , but i got totally stuck because i didn ' t notice a button hidden behind a ham .\ni have to start out with the best thing about dos2 , the thing that really makes it compelling : it has turn - based fantasy combat that is actually exciting . the battles are long ( 1 - 2 hours ) , unpredictable , and have an epic feel to them . they are very cool .\ni really need to emphasize how remarkable this is . i ' ve been following the rpg genre since the beginning , and i think it ' s really important to acknowledge what an accomplishment the battles are . it ' s some next - level stuff .\nseriously , i went through the entire game with wood chips in my pack . if case i needed them to craft a stick or something . jesus christ , i ' m basically 9 / 10 of a god . just let me have the stupid stick !\nthe side quests and the storylines of your companions are reliably well - written and interesting . i enjoyed them .\nthe main quest is something - something - invasion - of - horrible - monsters - something - something - disorder - in - the - heavens - something - something - become - a - god . i tried to keep track of the story , thought i understood it , and i guess i didn ' t . i ' ll get back to that .\nthe general design aesthetic of dos2 is : if anyone had an idea , any idea at all , it went into the game . the idea won ' t always be properly developed once it was in , but it will be there ."]}

( source : ann )\njust like the title indicates , my own ending to how bagi should have gone . afterall , the ending was sad , plus ryo and bagi are just adorable together .\noccasionally one may come across one of those old anime made in the 80s , and despite not liking 80s art or 80s anime , winds up loving it anyway . bagi , the monster of mighty nature , is one such anime movie . perhaps the enjoyment of this movie can be attributed to osamu tezuka , who many consider to be a master of manga . he ' s done a few anime as well , such as black jack and kimba the white lion . i particularly enjoy his artwork , as it looks a bit different and kind of nice , and even the , what i would consider , ugly art of the 80s doesn ' t affect\nan aesop : two , actually :\nall living beings deserve to live\nand\ndon ' t mess with nature\n.\nbagi , the monster of mighty nature i never would have learnt about the horrors of genetic engineering and biotechnology if it wasn ' t thanks to osamu tezuka ' s raw creative and political passion . i would ' ve remained blind to such sinful things like mutant cacti , creepy hypnotic dancing catgirls or the devil ' s rice ball . i have seen the light . from henceforth , i shall dedicate the rest of my life to fighting this horrible scientific practice to ensure that no one else shall become a . . . victim of science . now , would anyone happen to know where i can get me one of those nifty laserlighters ?\nfrom 1975 - 1976 , osamu tezuka also wrote a manga titled daichi no kaoyaku bagi ( \u5927\u5730\u306e\u9854\u5f79\u30d0\u30ae ) , which would probably translate as\nbagi , the boss of the mighty earth\n, with\nboss\nin the sense of\nleader of a gang\n. see also the manga ' s article on japanese wikipedia ( there are no writings on it in english that i can find ) .\n: ryo hunting down bagi five years later , the latter apparently attacking and killing villagers .\nin the original dragon ball , it ' s implied many people on earth are part monster , animal , and the like . earth being a world of weirdness at that point .\nthe original mighty atom manga stories were later published in english - language versions by dark horse comics in a translation by frederik l . schodt . they followed the television series by keeping the character name as\nastro boy\n, the name most familiar to english - speaking audiences , instead of\nmighty atom .\nnames of the other characters , such as doctor tenma and professor ochanomizu , are those of the original japanese .\nonly friend : bagi tells ryo this repeatedly , affirming how much she trusts him .\n) ruin , it ' s mylene ' s hybrid nature that unlocks the final chamber , allowing the ruin ' s computer to see that the different races had stopped fighting and had children together .\nnot the answer you ' re looking for ? browse other questions tagged bagi or ask your own question .\ni have not read this manga or watched the movie , but japanese wikipedia appears to suggest that the contents of the manga and movie are mostly unrelated - the bagi in the manga is a jaguar , while the bagi in the movie is a mountain lion - turned - human ( i think ? ) .\nryo and bagi sneak into the laboratory and force the director to talk . they find that ryo ' s mother was the creator of the experiment , and that bagi was one of the escaped animals , and the only survivor . they also find ryo ' s mother is now at south america , and travel there to demand explanations .\nat the end of the manga of spice and wolf , the wolf goddess horo from the human lawrence is pregnant .\nas the movie begins , ryo and a boy called chico are stalking a monster terrorizing the countryside . while they wait for bagi to appear , ryo explains that he knows her well , and tells the boy about how he first met her , and why is he now trying to kill her .\none day the gang was riding about town , when its leader spotted a young woman , and decided to chase her , just for fun . when finally catching up with her , he discovers , to his horror , that the\nlady\nis , in fact , some sort of monster , who immediately starts to attack one gang member after another . when only ryo is left , the monster - lady looks at him , but does not harm him , and runs away . after the rest of the gang comes back to their senses , the leader swears to find the monster - lady who attacked them , and take revenge .\nkonami developed and published their mighty atom video game for the nintendo family computer system in 1988 . it is known for its extreme difficulty level attributed to a one - hit death rule .\nyes . i learned there was a sequel to bagi produced by makoto tezuka . the synopsis to the story is found here . urltoken\nthe scene between bagi and professor ishigami is heavily inspired by walt disney ' s snow white and the seven dwarfs . even the heart box shows up .\ntezuka osamu ' s tale of a genetically engineered pink american mountain - lion named bagi and the friendship she develops with ryo , a lonesome bike gang member .\nit is revealed bagi had\nmatured yet again\n, resulting in the sudden loss of much of her intelligence . for all intents and purposes , she ' s reverted back to a wild feral animal . whether this was a case of writer cop out , executive meddling , or creator breakdown is unclear . osamu definitely wanted to convey the message that man needs to learn that meddling with nature is morally wrong , a noble cause , but regrettably , poorly executed in the final arc of the story at the expense of a main character ' s development .\nthey find an abandoned house , when they suspect she might live , and decide to wait for her inside . when darkness came , the leader sends ryo for a lookout outside . right then the monster returns , and attacks the gang once again . ryo turns to the door , expecting to be attacked next . when the monster walks out , she turns out to be half - woman , half - cat . she talks , and tells him that she is bagi . terrified of what he saw and hears , ryo gets on his motorcycle , and rides home as fast as he can .\nwithout a doubt . there is a sequel to this called\nbagi , boss of the earth\nthat i have been looking for . the sequel was produced by tezuka ' s son .\nschodt , frederik l . ; the astro boy essays : osamu tezuka , mighty atom , and the manga / anime revolution page 161 stone bridge press ( 2007 ) isbn 978 - 1 - 933330 - 54 - 9 ( pbk . )\nwhat i ' m writing here is about a sequel to that tv movie that i ' m presently working on called\nbagi - the lost years\nwhich is in manga ( comic ) format , of course , and is only appropriate . it tells the story of what happened to bagi during the nine years she left ryosuke ishigama as a child and reunites with him nine years later . it also tells ( how i imagine it ) the story of what happens to bagi and ryo after ryo leaves her for dead in a south american desert .\nnotes : that ' s not a typo , sanrio actually partially funded this film . this probably explains why bagi is a badass pink catgirl . bagi has also been romanized as\nbaghi\n( as in bagheera ) and , hilariously , baggy .\napparently , it ' s a family trait of the senroh clan , earning them the title of immortal monsters .\nrealizing what she has done , ryo ' s mother changes her mind , and sacrifices herself by giving bagi all the poisoned rice . she is killed by the president for this , but ryo mistakenly believes bagi did it , and spends several years training with a gun to have his revenge .\nbagi has got to be one of the most underated and also deeply moving of tezuka ' s work . i love this film . but i wonder if it ' ll ever get a proper restored dvd or bluray release .\nbagi ( sometimes known also as\nbhagi\nbut never\nbaggy\n) was the result of that recombinant dna research . she ' s a pink half - human / half - cougar woman and is the main protagonist of that film .\ninterspecies romance : it ' s quite obvious that bagi loves ryo very much . ryo on the other hand , doesn ' t ever catch on .\nthe head of the imperial guards of monica . he has a habit of stroking his mustache with both hands ( the left had for the left side and the right hand for the right side ) he is encountered mistaking ryo and a driver for rebels after he and bagi highjack a circus truck via bagi ' s hypnosis . after making bagi perform a jump through a thirty - meter flaming coil ( through threat of exicution ) , he knocks bagi and ryo out and takes them to the cucaracha research lab without their knowledge . he ' s seen again with the president as he and professor ishigami discuss the change in the genetically - engineered rice before they found out it had a strong poison in it . when ryo tried to escape , sado attempted to start a sword fight with him . this leads to doing so on a pair of bikes . sado meets his possible end when he falls off the tower of the research lab . it is also possible that he may have survived .\nwhen he was a little boy , ryo ishigami received a present from his father : a pink kitten , whom he named bagi . as the little cat grew , it started to show signs of intelligence beyond a normal animal . she tried to read , write and walk on hind legs . the boy ' s father was terrified that the kitten could be a mutant of some sort , and decided to get rid of bagi , despite the ryo ' s protests ( he and the cat had become very good friends by that point ) . however , the father did not have to do anything , for bagi had escaped .\nthat ' s probable my favorite version of cheetah out of all her incarnations .\nmeanwhile , ryo manages to free bagi , but discovers she ' s going feral and already finds it difficult to stand and speak .\na mexican boy who suspects that bagi killed his father and decided to take revenge on his own first . he then meets ryo and gave him information about a possible sighting of\nprofessor ochanomizu / doctor ochanomizu / dr . packidermus j . elefun , head of the ministry of science\nbagi - - the section where they arrive in south america and bagi changes from ally to adversary is just really badly handled , which , i guess , is what happens when you create a movie as reactionary propaganda rather than as a story on its own right . ( like , say ,\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\nin the end , ryosuke was content with letting bagi roam free in republic of monica . but two years have now passed , and ryo , who is being plagued by dreams of the feline , is now having second thoughts about breaking the only promise he ever tried to keep .\na pink cat - woman genetically modified with the dna of a human . she and her mother were the only living animal survivors of the lab animal outbreak at the\nkeywords suggestion tool used bagi keyword to suggest some keywords related from this domain . if you want more , you can press button load more \u00bb\nfrom what i heard , the writers of\nthe departed\nare on it .\nbagi was very interested in finding out where she came from and whether there are more like her , so she and ryo went to visit the place where she was found , near ryo ' s mother ' s lab . by talking to people in the area , ryo finds that around the time bagi was found , animals escaped from the lab and were ruthlessly exterminated .\nastro boy was described by schodt as an\nanalog ,\na world where man and advanced technology coexist . as a result , the plots of the astro boy stories often involve issues that stem from this idea . when astro boy was created in the 1950s and 1960s , japan did not have the reputation for science and technology that it had gained by 2002 . this made the\nanalog\nnature of astro boy unique . [ 8 ]\n, but her mother was eventually hunted down . bagi ' s wandering ended in becoming ryo ' s\npet cat ' . she left for nine years after neighbors became suspicious of her .\nwill mark the 80th anniversary of the birth of osamu tezuka with a major season of feature films , short films and television episodes curated by helen mccarthy , many of which will be screening in the uk for the first time . alongside this , barbican film will present an exhibition of tezuka ' s drawings .\n. all diclonii , drones included , can infect humans with a virus that causes all future offspring to be diclonii drones , incapable of reproducing sexually . these drones are also always female . however , there is one diclonius , the queen , who can reproduce sexually , and if her mate were human , her offspring would probably be some kind of half - human hybrid . there are a bunch of powerless male half - human diclonii wandering around , probably a result of something of that nature happening up in the family tree .\n, and then gets the idea to use a poisonous genetically - engineered rice created there to eliminate guerrilla rebels that have been opposing his government for years , as well as anyone else who opposes him . when prof . ishigami refuses to cooperate with his plan , he has her killed by his attack dogs . his plans are ultimately defeated thanks to bagi and ryo , bagi escaping the lab with the only samples of the rice while ryo destroyed the lab .\n, but not by bagi as ryo mistakenly assumes . in her last letter , she expresses great regrets about being a bad scientist and a bad mother .\nryo ' s mother as well as an important leading research professor at the superlife center , believing that anything could be improved with science . she was responsible for the creation of bagi and her kind . after the president forced her to mass - produce the poisonous rice balls , she had a change of heart due to feelings of guilt , and decided to follow her conscience . she is\ntengen toppa gurren lagann has the beastmen , a race of hybrids that serve as the antagonists for the 1st season .\n. this is hinted at in the last episode of the anime , but never said outright .\nand , of course , shirokuma cafe . panda - kun is the laziest panda in the history of the world . and the entire thing ' s adorable . i need to finish it xd\nanyone seen this awesome and unique furry anime from 1984 ? i loved it for 16 years since i was 15 when i had a fansub tape of it and has been one of my fave animes forever . it can be seen on youtube and is one of the best furry movies ever plus bagi is a total babe even though the film is quite sad and tragic near the end . it ' s also made by the creator of astroboy osamu tezuka\nis actually tezuka ' s direct critique of the japanese government ' s approval of recombinant dna research , but unfortunately , the whole issue clearly is painted as an issue of black and white , and not given a nuanced , balanced treatment , as opposed to , say , bagi herself , who clearly deserves a better movie , or even a television series .\nbeing a dungeons and dragons expy , record of lodoss war has a few of these , the most traditional of these being leaf , the shaman from the chronicles of the heroic knight tv series . being half human and half elven , she is correctly referred to as a half - elf .\neveryone was defenseless at some point . it ' s up to those who can defend them to do so . zinico , a nine month old wolf - kid , and the older of the two surviving human cross geane experiments , has taken position as the young kitten\nbagi\ngaurdian . as anyone can tell you , bagi won ' t be vunarable forever . or friendly . . . * warning * this story has been pronounced as dead .\nback to the present , bagi arrives , and after eliminating everybody but ryo fights with him . however she still recognizes him and doesn ' t deliver a blow , allowing ryo to stab her . ryo then finds his mother ' s last words in a note bagi carried in a locket on her neck , realizes what actually happened and cries with regret .\ni loved this anime since junior high when i obtained a fansub tape in 96 and i made myself a dvd - r copy of it later on in the mid - 2000s , i even had a crush on bagi since as she is one of my catgirl and furry loves . does this movie remind you of that batman tas episode ?\npeople who don ' t know the context of this are really going to get the wrong idea .\nit kind of does in kind of a way . it does borrow some elements but it ' s not all the same .\nthe site notes variety japan reports that first day box office receipts of ponyo is 83 % of spirited away . japan times '\n: bagi is a human / cougar hybrid created in a lab ( although she has pink fur ) . she ' s somewhat rare in being pretty much human behaviorally as well . she also has psychic powers of hypnosis .\nlist of potential candidates to be sacrificed in the summoning of an ancient being . crossed out names mean they have lost their purity in the mean time .\nthey ' re all descendants of genetically engineered research experiments who escaped shortly before the end of mankind . despite having only minimal animal features , they were on the level of lab rats and dissected for research .\nsummer wars is a good anime movie with some furry avatars . it ' s essentially a non - franchised remake of the first half of the digimon movie by the same director .\n) really sells the role , any but hints at a romantic relationship between ryosuke and bagi feel misguided and awkward - - less because she ' s a catgirl , more because ryo partially raised her .\nwas never officially released in the united states , therefore you will never find a legal commercially - released retail english version of it for sale anywhere . it really is unfortunate that bagi was never officially released here commercially , because then maybe more members of the furry fandom would know about it . this anime is a pretty good one , and many of the themes that it touches on are extremely pertinent to our fandom .\nin berserk there is the young girl isma , which is the daughter of a human and a mermaid .\nwritten by akira himekawa , the plot , as well as the character designs , loosely followed that of the 2003 anime series . the artwork is quite different from tezuka ' s original . this version of the manga was published in english by\nit ' s a series of stories starting with\nthe perfect solider\n, going on through other stories such as\nlittle phoenix\n,\ndana ' s tale\n,\nthe weight of anger\n,\nlost cause\n,\nbaretta ' s tale\n,\nthe final solution\n,\nthe grand illusion\n,\nawakening\nand , finally ,\nbagi -

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

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

o .\n- cemen\nchigurh\nbond ( bagi )\none of the most recognizable expressions of anime fandom , and geek fandom in general for that matter , is cosplay , or the act of adopting the appearance of a character from popular media . mainstream coverage of a convention , a movie opening , or , more recently , a game launch is sure to prominently feature photographs of the cosplayers attending the event . maybe there is a component of gawking , but at the same time , cosplay photos have become a universal short hand to illustrate a crowd of people brought together by their shared enthusiasm . and , insiders seem to have the same interest in taking a peak at the cosplayers . america ' s largest anime convention , anime expo was recently held in la , over the forth of july weekend . no onsite , enthusiast press coverage was complete without a gallery of cosplayers . when san diego comic con takes place , the comic press will undoubtedly take their turn snapping shots at the costume attired . for that matter , sports coverage , from the local broadcast to si seldom fails to capture images of fans painted or otherwise decked out in proclaiming their allegiance to their team of choice . on august 2nd and 3rd 2008 ,\notome youkai zakuro is set during the westernization of an alternate japan , where humans and spirits ( youkai ) coexist . to solve the problems that arise between the two , human lieutenants are partnered with half -

wide arms race , the intent of which was to create a superior ( as in stronger , faster , deadlier ) replacements for human soldiers . the experiments didn ' t work out , the labs were exposed and the mil gens liberated and freed from the labs . now those same mil gens ( literally millions of them world - wide ) must now make a place for themselves among a world of humans , seeking to discover just exactly who and what they are in the process .\nlater , the gang found her hiding place and tried to have their revenge , to be swiftly defeated again . the terrified ryo ran home , but bagi followed him . there she explained to him that she is the same pet he had years ago . she started showing intelligence to the point of learning to write her own name , which made people suspicious , so she ran away to avoid creating problems for ryo .\nharem series in general usually have someone being picked at the end . doesn ' t make the journey any less of a harem .\ni think that the first and last of the items on that list are probably the most important of them . both are right at the top of the prototypical female character stereotypes list , certainly , and are definitely unwelcome .\ni only care about x\n* falls in love with main character guy * is such an old , tired negative stereotype . . .\nthat being said , i would gladly watch a show featuring kuroko reading an assortment of monologues with the words ,\nonee -

( in fact , a couple decades ago , similar scams used to be run from within the united states - - criminals would send messages to people ' s pagers ( remember those ? ) paging them from premium numbers with the hope that the recipients would call back and be charged for the calls . )\nif you have voicemail \u2013 as pretty much everyone does today \u2013 there is usually no reason to call back missed calls from numbers that you do not recognize , regardless of the area code from which they originated . if a caller has something important to say , he or she can leave a message identifying himself or herself ( or send you a text message ) . don\u2019t let curiosity get the best of you .\nas the network grew , it also became more complex . splits and overlays of area codes , especially as the population of phone users grew in the 1980s and 1990s , became common . lapsley points out that , when codes split\u2014as 408 did in 1998 , leading to 831\u2014there can be resentment and even anger associated with the division . as the communications scholar james katz told gene weingarten in 1998 :\nwhen we are assigned an area code we do not like , it feels like a loss of place or position in society . it is one means of alienation . we are losing our sense of place .\nindeed , the biggest cities got the easiest to dial area codes : 212 ( new york ) , 213 ( los angeles ) and 313 ( detroit ) . anchorage got the hardest to dial ( 907 ) , which required 26 clicks . new jersey , washington , d . c . , maryland , and connecticut got 201 , 202 , 301 and 203 . there were some odd exceptions , though : dallas , western massachusetts , and manitoba were all promoted above their importance in 1947 , while boston , kansas city ( both kansas and missouri ) , and the suburbs of new york city were demoted .\nas the bint jbeil org website reported last week , clothes shops in shiite - majority areas in beirut and across lebanon have been marketing a new range of black robes for women ( ashura , which marks the death of the prophet muhammad\u2019s grandson , hussein bin ali , is a day of mourning ) with \u201c313\u201d printed on the fronts and backs in large white typeface . pictures sent to now \u2014 see above \u2014 also show black t - shirts bearing the number on sale in south beirut , and even a barber\u2019s salon re - branded with the digits in lebanon\u2019s south region . the number also drew attention when it was seen tattooed on the shirtless torsos of some young men accused of sparking riots at a you stink demonstration in downtown beirut in august ( now saw one demonstrator with a \u201c313\u201d tattoo on his neck at a later , peaceful protest ) .\nthere certainly was cultural significance to area codes back in the day . brian bergstein of the mit technology review told the atlantic in 2014 :\nof course we didn ' t know it at the time , but now it seems that the atomization of area codes was a prelude to the microtargeting that fuels political campaigns and advertising : it refined our perceptions of who people are .\nstates with multiple area codes had a\n1\nin the middle of their three - digit codes . states with one area code were assigned a\n0\nin the middle . additionally , for the first digit ,\n0\nand\n1\nwere restricted , since those implied operator - assisted or international calls . the second and third digit could not be the same , since those codes were reserved for special purposes , like\n411\nand\n911 .\nfinally , the last digit couldn ' t be a\n0 ,\nbecause those were for\ntypewriter exchanges ,\nan early form of text messaging .\nat & t designed the north american numbering plan ( nanp ) for the bell system in the 1940s . originally , it consisted of 86 numbering plan area codes , and they had to follow certain rules .\nin addition to the list of international numbers that\nlook american ,\nkeep in mind that canada and various u . s . territories are also part of country code + 1 - - and while scammers do not typically run 473 scams from canada or u . s . territories , some domestic telephone plans do not consider calls to these areas to be a domestic or free calls . for that reason , i have included lists of u . s . territory and canadian area codes below as well .\nhas a wealth of information about area codes , which prefixes ( central office codes ) are assigned to carriers or still available for assignment , etc . nanpa is the third party neutral administrator of numbering resources in the u . s .\ncriminals target people simply by calling them . intended victims receive a call on their phones from area code 473 which rings once and then disconnects , thereby arousing the call - recipient\u2019s natural curiosity \u2013 \u201cwho just called me and from where ?

imam al - hussein deserves better than this , \u201d said one commenter . \u201chussein is innocent of this , by god , i feel some of these girls need to be whipped , \u201d opined one woman . in an indication that perhaps the 313 crowd were not so different from american hip - hop devotees after all , one user ranted : \u201cthese people probably don\u2019t pray the prayers on time , and fasting [ during ramadan ] for them is just a trend [ \u2026 ] they annoy their neighbors when they\u2019re smoking arguileh in the middle of the night , and shouting , and guffawing with laughter . \u201d\nin other words , 414 may be a source of pride , but someone with one of the other 293 american area codes may be a milwaukeean , too . at least until 2038 , when some have speculated another digit will be added somewhere . then it ' s anybody ' s guess .\nwhile 809 , 473 , 284 , 649 and 876 , may be the primary sources of the current danger , here is a list of ( non - canadian ) area codes that are international . all but a few are relatively new , having been split off from 809 in the late 1990s .\nthere are also resource concerns : as individuals , we ' re getting , what with skype and google voice and their many equivalents , more and more phone numbers . and the 10 - digit numbering system currently in use throughout the u . s . , canada , and u . s . territories is , manning points out ,\na finite resource .\nhe doesn ' t see that deci - digital system changing anytime soon : like the bell employees of the last century , manning appreciates the power of user habit when it comes to our technological infrastructure . nanpa , he points out , takes pains to make transitions like area code splits and overlays as seamless as possible for those affected by them .\nfor years , detroit ' s rap scene was largely self - sustained . acts from the city and the surrounding area , like deshaun\nproof\nholton ( d12 member and eminem ' s best friend ) and elzhi , made their rounds in venues like the hip - hop shop and the shelter before becoming regional indie powerhouses .\nafter most americans became aware that 900 numbers were premium numbers , criminals started to use other areas codes - - often 809 ( the caribbean islands ) - - which led to this scam even being known as an 809 scam . after sufficient media coverage educated enough folks not to return calls to area code 809 , criminals shifted to other areas codes - - assisted by the implementation of many new area codes over the last two decades - - making it far more difficult for people to recognize which numbers are domestic and which are not . of course , the fact that today ' s phones allow people to respond quickly to text messages and missed calls means that people are less likely than during the era of pagers to reconsider whether it ' s a good idea to respond before they call or text back . also , psychologically speaking , humans are more likely to become alarmed when hearing the voice of another human crying for help than when seeing a text message - - giving today ' s scammers another edge up over their counterparts two decades ago . scammers adapt their techniques as technologies and awareness levels change .\nof course we didn\u2019t know it at the time , but now it seems that the atomization of area codes was a prelude to the microtargeting that fuels political campaigns and advertising : it refined our perceptions of who people are . when i grew up in the san fernando valley , it and all the rest of l . a . was 213 . you had to travel a long way to get out of 213 , which might have subtly enforced the fallacy that l . a . was actually a coherent city rather than a mere patchwork . sure , there were always zip codes to differentiate fancy neighborhoods from nondescript ones , but a phone number was and is part of an introduction\u2014it\u2019s a calling card in itself , not merely numbers on your actual calling card . you give people your phone number if you like them , not your zip code .\nat first , i thought that the largest metro areas would get the easy - to - remember area codes , but that ' s not exactly right . los angeles , for example , got 213 , and chicago got 312 . additionally , these aren ' t assigned like the interstate system , in which the number signifies the highway ' s direction and placement in the country ( but that ' s another article ) .\nengineers at bell labs designed the numbering scheme beginning in the early 1940s and working into the next decade . they took advantage , in that , of a supremely rare and an even more supremely geeky opportunity : to design a system , from scratch , that would ensure a maximum amount of efficiency for a maximum number of phone users . the area codes that lead our own phone numbers today\u2014212 , 202 , 415\u2014were direct results of their work .\nmuch of the success hip - hop musicians from the detroit area are seeing today has followed tough times . j dilla , proof and blade icewood , who anchored disparate groups of rappers and producers , all died in the mid ' 00s . while acts like guilty simpson , finale and one be lo ( from neighboring city , pontiac ) have maintained successful indie careers , for the five rappers hitting hardest right now it ' s been a rollercoaster ride .\n\u201cit feels to me a little bit like a screen name , \u201d says philip lapsley , the author of exploding the phone : the untold story of the teenagers and outlaws who hacked ma bell . long ago divested of its original role , the three - digit code now functions as a kind of shared social media handle , a collective identity . it\u2019s no longer something to be remembered\u2014we have our phones for that\u2014but is instead something to be talked about . i meet someone at a party . we exchange numbers . \u201coh , 510 ! \u201d i might say . \u201ci was in oakland a few weeks ago ! \u201d\njohn manning , the senior director of the nanpa , told me that choosing fours were probably about the shorter clicks that milwaukee earned by being a larger city .\nonly 160 area codes ( were ) available ,\nhe said .\nas such , the quantity of npas to select from was not that large . it had to do with the large call volumes going to the large cities , and the call setup time reflected in the ' register holding time . '\nit ' s a tough nut to crack \u2014 dominating the sound and style of hip - hop music for any stretch of time . and while detroit may not have a singular sound or any one artist spawning imitators even outside city lines , at this moment , five rappers from the area are in the national spotlight . the cliques that once divvied up motor city ' s underground hip - hop scene have begun working together , intersecting on records , on stage and in national media .\nto someone from 213 , which covered the side of the city that was cooler than the valley and its cheesy suburban sprawl . my grandparents lived in 213 and consequently they suddenly seemed more urban to me . even that image is outdated , though , now that l . a . has even more area codes . my grandparents\u2019 old place has shifted from 213 to 310 . the associated vibe is more specific : it\u2019s \u201cwest side\u201d rather than \u201cmore urban , more interesting half of town . \u201d\nthe whole scheme \u201cillustrates how smart the bell engineers were back then , \u201d phil lapsley points out . they were trying to design a system that was user - friendly\u2014with the user , in this case , being the nation as a whole . they were also trying to design a system that would be , as much as possible , future - proof . there were , given the possible permutations of the rotary dial , 152 potential area codes . at first , only 86 of these were assigned . the engineers , in outfitting their new network , had given it room to grow .\nthe bell system ' s new codes were first introduced to the public in the early 1950s , as part of a larger push toward automated , or direct distance , dialing . bell , true to form\u2014and recognizing the semi - audacity of its new numbering scheme\u2014rolled them out in a way that will feel familiar to any current user of facebook or twitter : through beta testing . the company chose , as area codes\u2019 introduction city , englewood , n . j . , which was conveniently located near bell labs and featured , as a bonus , switch equipment that was easily adapted to automation .\nbut there are signs of progress . big sean ' s\nhometown heroes\nshow in the detroit area last december was received well , and black milk ' s release party for album of the year last fall packed st . andrews hall , one of the city ' s most known concert venues . danny brown is currently on tour with popular indie rappers das racist . slaughterhouse is at work on its major label debut . fowl says it hasn ' t been easy , but his lofty goals remain the same : sell 10 million records , and become the greatest rapper of all time .\ni grew up in carmel , smack in the middle of the new code region ; my first cell phone number\u2014the only cell phone number i have ever had\u2014bears that 831 preface . i have held on to those three digits through happily - multiple changes of location ( new jersey , new york , boston , washington ) and through unhappily - multiple losses of handset . the powers that be\u2014hardware salespeople , cell service representatives\u2014have , at one time or another , tried to force me into a 609 and a 917 and a 617 ; each time , i have resisted . because i am not , fundamentally , a 609 or a 917 or a 617 . i am not even , my current residence notwithstanding , a 202 . i am an 831 , wherever i may be in body , and will remain an 831 until they pry those three otherwise totally meaningless digits out of my cold , dead iphone .\non november 10 , 1951 , the official rollout of area codes took place . with 100 guests watching , englewood mayor m . leslie denning dialed a number : 415 - la - 3 - 9727 . exactly 17 seconds later , denning\u2019s call was picked up by frank osborn , the mayor of alameda , california . bell engineers called the cross - continental and intramayoral conversation a\nhistoric first in communications .\nand newspapers , for their part , were even more jubilant about the proceedings . as the new york times put it in an article announcing the englewood test -

distance digits long ago shed their monetary worth , but they gained something else in its place : cultural value .\nin the mid - 20th century , in response to the united states\u2019 rapidly expanding telephone network , executives at the bell system introduced a new way of dialing the phone . until then , for the most part , it was human operators\u2014mostly women\u2014who had directed calls to their destinations .\ndialing systems had reflected this reliance on the vocal cord . phone numbers weren\u2019t numbers ; they were alphanumeric addresses , named after phone exchanges that encompassed particular geographic areas . the elizabeth taylor movie butterfield 8 gets its name from that system : the butterfield exchange served the tony establishments of manhattan ' s upper east side . lucy and ricky ricardo , should you have attempted to call their apartment , were apparently reachable with a request for\nmurray hill 5 - 9975 .\nin 1955 , at & t\u2014after it researched ways to minimize misunderstandings when it came to spoken phone directions\u2014distributed a list of recommended exchange names featuring standardized abbreviations . ( butterfield 8 would become , under that system , bu - 8 ; murray hill 5 - 9975 would have been shortened to mu 5 - 9975 . ) but engineers at bell had been conducting their own research into the scalability of the name - and - number system . they had ambitions to expand the national phone network ; their own research had concluded , among other things , that\nthe country could not supply enough working women to meet its growing demand for human operators .\nautomation , bell concluded , would be the future of telephony . and\nall - number calling\n\u2014no names , anymore , just digits\u2014would be the way to get there .\ni want to tell you about the controversy the bell system ' s embrace of numeracy provoked\u2014how resentful some people became when their familiar method of making phone calls was taken from them . i want to tell you about why the change was necessary , and how it still informs our conception of phone calls and text messages . i want to tell you about the future of the phone number .\nso when the valley became 818 when i was a kid , suddenly the valley\u2019s separateness became more tangible to me . we weren\u2019t all in it together any more . if you gave someone your phone number you instantly revealed yourself as an\nwe ' d owe that conversation , in some part , to the bell system . and to the 10 - digit coding system the telecom giant introduced to , and on behalf of , the american public half a century ago . which brings us back to 1962 .\nsers of the phone system ( as users of any technology are wont to do when transition comes along ) would likely resist the change , the group did so slowly , and strategically . it built in long grace periods for people to accommodate themselves to the new numbers . it produced pamphlets methodically explaining the new system .\nstill , people protested . in san francisco , a group sprang up to battle bell and its numbering scheme . the anti - digit dialing league \u2014consisting of thousands of members at its height , including the semanticist s . i . hayakawa"]}

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

chairman harvey weinstein flew to utah to close the deal . illsley said he felt weinstein truly understood his movie , adding that he felt that the way the film was sold had brought some dignity back into the deal - making process .\nmy best experience ever at a film festival was in austin . so many festivals are flash over substance , a who\u2019s who of movie stars . here , the creators are the stars . and rightly so . so if you want to write , direct or produce motion pictures and get paid for it , attend this festival . \u201d\nto give away more of the plot would spoil some of the film ' s best surprises and funniest moments . suffice it to say that this is a thoroughly entertaining fish - out - of - water story that never makes fun of its characters and laces its humor with a sweet sense of humanity rather than the expected shot of cynicism .\ndirected by mark illsley ; written by ed stone , illsley and phil reeves ; director of photography , bruce douglas johnson ; edited by norman buckley ; music by peter harris ; production designer , maurin scarlata ; produced by illsley , rick montgomery and stone ; released by miramax films . running time : 96 minutes . this film is rated pg -

wrote the script , had his choice of two endings : the big pageant or the bank job . i would have liked more pageant and less of the bank , but the film is so good - humored , it hardly matters . this is one of those comedies that doesn ' t pound us on the head with the obvious , but simply lets us share vast amusement .\nreal world experience . we facilitate internships in l . a . \u2014for such companies as miramax , uta , mad men , wm / endeavor and scott free productions\u2014as well as in austin\u2014at places such as the austin film festival , detour films and with screenwriter / television producer rob thomas . resident austin filmmakers richard linklater , terrence malick , robert rodriguez , and many others offer our students internships , bridging the worlds of hollywood and independent filmmaking .\nthis very bad and unfunny comedy is almost salvaged by yet another moving performance by the wonderful william h . macy . two escaped convicts pose as a gay couple in a small texas town in order to evade the law while they bide their time in order to pull off their final big heist . their feigned homosexuality provides the premise for numerous misunderstandings and generally unfunny moments . the more\nredneck\ncon gets roped into having to teach little girls how to dance . the possibilities for humour here exist , but unfortunately are unrealized . there ' s a corny romance that develops between the\ngood - looking\ncon and the town ' s attractive banker . this movie was a film without an identity , rotating between an unfunny farce , a cliched romantic comedy , and the more tender and interesting william h . macy subplot of a macho but closeted sheriff coming to terms with his own homosexuality . macy ' s performance alone made me glad i saw this movie , but otherwise it could have been tossed in the rubbish bin .\nillsley says he knows some distributors are miffed , but he feels they all got a fair shake . miramax won out , he said , because\nthey are the godfathers of the indie world .\nthough he knows weinstein ' s penchant for recutting movies has earned him the nickname\nharvey scissorhands ,\nillsley said the charismatic executive had promised him final cut and promised not to change a frame . the film is scheduled for an october release .\ni saw this film recently , for the second time , with a friend who hadn ' t seen it before . it has a solid cast , with roles all well - played , and all who are just a bit shy of being on hollywood ' s\na\nlist - but not because of any lacking talent or appeal . there are a lot of previous comments here , so i would just add that it is a thoroughly enjoyable film , all the characters likable ( even the couple of\nbad\nguys , in their own way ) . you are completely aware of the basic ending of the story from the outset , and can pretty well guess most of the exact details as it moves along . however , this isn ' t meant to be suspenseful , and , as a quiet , modestly - budgeted presentation , it outdoes most of the\na - list ,\nsuper - budget extravaganzas by a mile .\nmuch of the dialogue is laugh - out - loud funny , especially when delivered by zahn , a comic actor with a knack for playing clueless individuals . one particularly funny scene late in the picture finds an overburdened wayne letting loose on harry , complaining that his partner in crime is always off enjoying himself while wayne is left to try to prep the contestants for the beauty pageant . ( the actor received a special jury prize for comedic performance at this year ' s sundance film festival for his role here . )\nsafford and others believe miramax is downplaying what it paid in order to avoid what some call\nthe ' spitfire ' syndrome .\nindustry veterans say that film , which did $ 13 million at the box office , suffered because the huge sales price raised unrealistic expectations . and miramax ' s purchase last year of brad anderson ' s\nnext stop , wonderland\nfor $ 6 million is said to have also been hindered by the hype surrounding its sale ( it made only $ 3 . 4 million in theaters ) .\nreviewing a soundtrack before seeing the film , it ' s hard to know which tracks were picked by the filmmakers for their resonance with the movie and which were picked by arista for the marketing opportunity . many songs , including titles from randy scruggs , kim richey , brad paisley , alison krauss and abra moore have turned up on releases from the last year or two . other cuts , from cathy fink , lee roy parnell and keb ' mo ' , emmylou harris , pam tillis and shannon brown are making their debuts .\nzahn ' s work gets the loud laughs . in the division of labor between the two escaped cons , harry takes over the bank job and wayne ' s task is to pose as a choreographer . completely without a clue , wayne studies videotapes and then tries to teach the same steps to the dutiful little girls , and discovers , amazingly , that he is not without talent at the pageant business . (\ni ' m trying to figure out if slip - stitching or basting is the best way to sew on a sparkly heart .\n) there ' s boundless good nature in the work by douglas and zahn . and watching jeremy northam is a revelation : here is the slick , urbane british gentleman of\nemma ,\nthe winslow boy\nand\nan ideal husband ,\nplaying a texas convict and not missing a beat .\ndaddy lessons\nbeyonce gets introspective on this track , seemingly dedicated to her father and one - time manager matthew knowles . in her first country track ever , the texas native sings that her dad warned her about men who , like him , cheat .

ending paradoxical loop of rooms . as stanley walks through the rooms without end , he begins to question everything , believing himself to be in a dream . he imagines himself to be a bird and to be flying through a star field in space , and then believes the narrator is just a voice in his head , but then he realizes that he is not dreaming and ends up screaming for help , dropping dead .\nin scuba diving , one of the first things you learn is how to combat this pressure upon descent using equalization techniques . this is particularly important for the ears , because if you reach a mere several meters down and fail to equalize any of that pressure pushing in , you can be dealing with a serious amount of pain , ruptured eardrums , and even irreversible hearing loss . the only real way to avoid discomfort is to descend slowly and equalize as you go , and by slowly , i mean half a meter at a time .\nmy favourite issue was when the second tank arrives and it has an a - clamp fitting . her tank has a din fitting yet when she swaps tank the tank is suddenly a din . maybe a kindly shark popped down with an allan key and removed the insert \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\nat that point , the entire ui layer was wiped clean and it was all hands on deck to get luna ready to show in january . late nights , early mornings . palm feared sprint ' s reaction to being told that it was abandoning and rewriting a significant portion of the platform with just a half year to go , so sprint executives were told that it was just a\nreskinning .\nwhen sprint had previously been shown prima , they ' d only seen a locked - down version of the phone application , so they were none the wiser .\nevery day for the month of april , we\u2019ll share a poem that speaks to us . to share your own favorite , email hello @ urltoken , and tell us a little bit about why you love it . and to read a daily poem from the atlantic archives , go here .\ngotta remember it is a movie , is for entertainment . there hasn\u2019t been one shark movie that doesn\u2019t exaggerate things if i wanted to see a real shark\u2019s behavior or learn how to dive i would watch animal planet or go to the classes . it\u2019s not realistic but that\u2019s the point .\ntoday , like every other day , we wake up empty and frightened . don\u2019t open the door to the study and begin reading . take down a musical instrument . let the beauty we love be what we do . there are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground .\nand yes , no need to go all the way to 47 meters ( not like most of the american watching public knows how deep that is anyway ) . the fact that they went into dive more than 40 - 50 feet when totally unprepared and surrounded by sharks would have been enough .\nlisten to the narrator until he reaches the boss ' s office . quickly enter and leave the boss ' s office , making sure the doors are closed . all doors behind stanley will be open ( including the executive bathroom ) ; go back towards stanley ' s office . a door will be open right in front of his office . ( if you go back to your office and close the door , you cannot reopen the door again ) . upon entering the door , you will be teleported to a long staircase . after you go far enough there will be a sign warning the player that both the narrator and the player need to be present in order for escape sequence to play out as intended . the narrator was disabled earlier on , so stanley couldn ' t escape . like in not stanley ending the narrator needed stanley but he wasn ' t controlled by the player .\n15 . cooper spends the entire movie trying to get back to his daughter \u2026 and his daughter spends the entire movie yearning to be reunited with him . he spends two minutes with her \u2026 and then then they both agree he should split to go have presumed only - guy - on - the - planet sex with brand ?\nthat\u2019s the number of months it took palm , inc . to go from the darling of international ces 2009 to a mere shadow of itself , a nearly anonymous division inside the hp machine without a hardware program and without the confidence of its owners . thirty - one months is just barely longer than a typical american mobile phone contract .\nhen people think of a contemporary royal death in britain , they think , inescapably , of diana . the passing of the queen will be monumental by comparison . it may not be as nakedly emotional , but its reach will be wider , and its implications more dramatic . \u201cit will be quite fundamental , \u201d as one former courtier told me .\ngreat poetry can do many things\u2014challenge us intellectually , show us beauty , allow us to inhabit the gray areas of language , entertain us . this poem does all those things for me , but it also gave me comfort in a time of loss , and in its ending lines i found wisdom on how to live in light of death and loss .\nwhen mcknight launched a video series on youtube , he did an episode called \u201cis taylor swift the next eddie van halen ? \u201d he wasn\u2019t talking about technique . he was talking about inspiring younger players . the video series , in the end , grew faster than guitar sales or lessons . earlier this year , mcknight shut down his store .\ndisobey the narrator to the end ; take the right door , go into the warehouse , take the lift and jump onto the catwalk . take the blue door 3 times . stanley will walk into a large room that the narrator had not finished building yet ; developer textures ( orange and white tiles ) can be seen along the walls around stanley .\non d + 1 , the day after the queen\u2019s death , the flags will go back up , and at 11am , charles will be proclaimed king . the accession council , which convenes in the red - carpeted entr\u00e9e room of st james\u2019s palace , long predates parliament . the meeting , of the \u201clords spiritual and temporal of this realm\u201d , derives from the witan , the anglo - saxon feudal assembly of more than a thousand years ago . in theory , all 670 current members of the privy council , from jeremy corbyn to ezekiel alebua , the former prime minister of the solomon islands , are invited \u2013 but there is space for only 150 or so . in 1952 , the queen was one of two women present at her proclamation .\na wonderful teacher once broke down the word \u201ctranslate\u201d into its latin parts : trans + latus , \u201cto carry across , \u201d to ferry meaning from one side to another . for me , this sparked an interest in how translations vary , how the shift of one word or an alternate choice of phrase can profoundly change the music of the poem , or its resonance .\n\u201che would burst open the screen door and try to do the dishes with you , \u201d carloss said . when her children played in their sandbox , ernie would plop his front hooves down next to them . carloss took ernie to compete in shows throughout the state , where he would strut around with a sequined browband . \u201che stole everybody\u2019s heart , \u201d she said .\nthe pre launched in the us on june 5th , 2009 , making good on the\nfirst half of 2009\nguidance issued at ces . just days later , longtime ceo ed colligan stepped down and made way for jon rubinstein , who ' d already been deeply involved with the company in his role as executive chairman . the changing of the guard was complete .\nthe parallels with the unease that we will feel at the death of elizabeth ii are obvious , but without the consolation of britain\u2019s status in 1901 as the world\u2019s most successful country . \u201cwe have to have narratives for royal events , \u201d the historian told me . \u201cin the victorian reign , everything got better and better , and bigger and bigger . we certainly can\u2019t tell that story today . \u201d\nbut that\u2019s what enthralls keats\u2014the eternal , resplendent pause . anticipating a moment , my teacher proposed , may be more of a thrill than the moment itself . it\u2019s the breath pressing in your ribs before a long exhale , the wait at the top of a coaster before the plunge down . keats revels in this instant before the end . he wishes he could linger there longer .\nshortly after kate escapes the cage , she swims towards the surface a bit ( up to 40 meters ) so she can get in range of the boat , allowing her to use her mask communications system to notify captain taylor that they are still alive down there . kate tells taylor that she has 55 bar left ( that\u2019s only one - quarter of a tank ! ) . taylor then advises kate and her sister stay down in the cage at 47 meters and wait until they can pull the whole thing up somehow , because if they go to the surface while fleeing the sharks , they will get the bends and they will die ! this is a ludicrous flipping of priorities . yes , decompression illness can be dangerous , even fatal in some cases . but you know what\u2019s 100 % fatal ? not having any air to breathe . taylor advising kate and lisa to sit tight at 47 meters and race through their air rather than take a risky ascent is like your doctor telling you to stop drinking any and all water because there might be lead in it . yes , technically lead poisoning is not ideal , but perishing from dehydration is quite a bit worse .\ntaking the right door will prompt further\nnarrative contradiction ,\nand when you enter the left door , the meeting room will have been destroyed and distorted . the narrator shuts down the game and goes on a rant about how stanley destroyed his work . he is cut off by a sudden restarting of the game , with stanley reappearing in front of the two doors after returning from the cargo room .\nonce the cage begins to plummet to the seafloor , lisa and kate begin to experience increasing pressure . as more and more seawater stacks up above them as they sink , the pressure exerted on their bodies by all this water goes up . every 10 meters or so of seawater produces the same amount of pressure as the entirety of the earth\u2019s atmosphere at sea level . so , at 10 meters down , a person experiences 2 atmospheres of pressure . 20 meters down , it\u2019s 3 atmospheres , and so on . all that squeezing doesn\u2019t do a whole lot to your solid , fleshy parts\u2014but it does a lot to air spaces . gas is compressible , and as the pressure mounts , the air - filled sinus cavities , interior parts of the ears , inside of the mask , and lungs are all impacted .\ni like learning to science and truth behind things occurring in movies and comparing them to what is shown in the movie\u2026but\u2026 this entire article is so negative and has such a snarky sanctimonious tone that it was hard to enjoy . it\u2019s a movie . it\u2019s supposed to be an escape and about impossibilities and fun to watch . there\u2019s a way to dissect fact from fiction without being so bitter lol simmer down .\ntake the right door , go into the warehouse , take the cargo lift across without jumping and answer the phone in the phone room . this teleports stanley in front of what appears to be his apartment , but when he opens the door , expecting his wife , he finds a robotic mannequin . attempting to leave instead of entering his apartment prompts the narrator to block stanley , forcing him to enter his apartment . as the screen tells the player to press a specific button , the apartment around stanley begins to change into his office ( in some cases the apartment will remain the same if you pressed other buttons than stated to push , however , there is still no way to progress through the story line meaning the player will still have to restart ) while the narrator tells stanley the story of the death of a man named stanley .\non the aesthetics , i love the way the poem moves . it starts with the commonplace idea that the people an older person knows begin to die off to the point that funerals take over their social calendar , much the way younger people seem to spend the summers of their late 20s and early 30s attending an endless string of weddings . the poem then pivots from its resigned stance toward the inevitability of loss and death :\ni think it\u2019s sarton\u2019s parsing of what \u201cdead center\u201d is\u2014a celebration of the blood that keeps on pumping , through loss and cold and \u201cleaps into the dark , lovers unkind , \u201d alongside an acknowledgement of mortality ( \u201ctemperature zero , and death on my mind\u201d ) \u2014that brings me back to these stanzas over and over again . there\u2019s a certain comfort in thinking about self - reliance as a matter of flesh and blood and breath .\n3 . cooper ( matthew mcconaughey ) gives his daughter murph ( mackenzie foy ) a soothing explanation of the origin of murphy\u2019s law . this isn\u2019t actually true . the term means pretty much what you thought it meant \u2014 if anything can go wrong , it will ( like , for instance , your dad taking off for 80 years , leaving you behind to eat corn with dust sauce ) . speaking of : cooper shows up randomly at nasa and suddenly he\u2019s piloting the craft ? if he\u2019s so ideal for this incredibly important earth - saving mission that\u2019s just about to happen , and even knows the professor , and is just a day\u2019s drive away , you would think they might have already known he was working the farm down the street and reached out to him . did nasa not have a pilot before he showed up ?\nit\u2019s only after arya and sansa\u2019s first staged argument that littlefinger asks winterfell\u2019s maester to find the incriminating message sansa sent to robb , where she asked him to bend the knee to her evil fianc\u00e9 joffrey baratheon , after her father was accused of treason and awaiting execution by the lannisters . by taking the \u2018bait\u2019 of this message , arya is tricking littlefinger into thinking she wants leverage with which to take down sansa .\nand indeed , the talent came to palm in droves . with the original iphone having already shipped , people were tempted by the prospect of a new challenge . rubinstein was selling his old industry contacts and co - workers on the opportunity to go out and make the next blockbuster consumer product . andy grignon , rob tsuk , and rich dellinger , to name a few . matias duarte , who ' d done stints at danger and helio , was hired to lead palm ' s ui design after considering and turning down a position at google with former danger boss andy rubin . from microsoft , ruby brought in mike abbott to run the software team . palm ' s acquisition of a startup called lampdesk , founded by manu chatterjee ( who ended up creating palm ' s touchstone accessory ) and former pixo employee greg simon , closed in early october .\nthe tulips are too red in the first place , they hurt me . even through the gift paper i could hear them breathe lightly , through their white swaddlings , like an awful baby . their redness talks to my wound , it corresponds . they are subtle : they seem to float , though they weigh me down , upsetting me with their sudden tongues and their color , a dozen red lead sinkers round my neck .\nkate goes back to the cage and tells lisa what taylor told her . after some time has passed , they see a flashlight in the distance , which they deduce is javier . since kate is running low on oxygen , lisa decides to go and bring javier to the cage . lisa swims out to meet javier but is suddenly ambushed by a shark . she is able to hide inside a small cavern of rocks , but the shark still tries to get her . the shark eventually leaves , and lisa continues swimming towards the flashlight . she reaches a drop - off point , where the ocean continues heading down . but , she continues heading out to the flashlight , even though she cannot see anything below her . she eventually reaches the flashlight but does not see javier . javier appears out of nowhere , but suddenly he is attacked by a shark and killed .\nbefore they go into the cage , taylor informs them of the equipment , which includes a meter that tells the user how much oxygen they have left . after louis and benjamin take their turn in the cage , kate and lisa get into it . they are lowered into the water . they don ' t see any sharks , so taylor has his first mate , javier , throw some fish blood into the water to attract the sharks .\nmeanwhile , the pre wasn ' t the blockbuster that everyone had been hoping for . the decision to launch as a sprint exclusive was frequently cited as a killer , but the situation may have been exacerbated by a bizarre ad campaign that featured a vaguely unsettling , ghostly woman urging viewers to\njust go with the flow\n\u2014 it was strange enough , in fact , that it inspired a string of parody videos that circulated the internet .\nthe company blew out remaining touchpad inventory for as little as $ 99 , a move that one employee we spoke to called a\njoke .\nat that point , it was nothing more than a dead tablet walking . ( demand for the $ 99 touchpad was so strong from internal sales to hp employees alone that it brought down the company ' s entire public e - commerce system , which shared the same infrastructure . )\non the conference calls and around the table will know each other . for a narrow stratum of the british aristocracy and civil service , the art of planning major funerals \u2013 the solemnity , the excessive detail \u2013 is an expression of a certain national competence . thirty - one people gathered for the first meeting to plan churchill\u2019s funeral , \u201coperation hope not\u201d , in june 1959 , six years before his death . those working on london bridge ( and tay bridge\nof course , it should go without saying that the depiction of shark behavior is all wrong , too . just as with \u201cthe shallows\u201d , there\u2019s no way great whites would behave like this , even if they were offered up a couple of completely clueless , tasty humans . but that doesn\u2019t even matter in the grand scheme of things ; if this movie were true to life , mandy would never have gotten the chance to worry about the sharks .\ngeidt will contact the prime minister . the last time a british monarch died , 65 years ago , the demise of george vi was conveyed in a code word , \u201chyde park corner\u201d , to buckingham palace , to prevent switchboard operators from finding out . for elizabeth ii , the plan for what happens next is known as \u201clondon bridge . \u201d the prime minister will be woken , if she is not already awake , and civil servants will say \u201clondon bridge is down\u201d on secure lines . from the foreign office\u2019s global response centre , at an undisclosed location in the capital , the news will go out to the 15 governments outside the uk where the queen is also the head of state , and the 36 other nations of the commonwealth for whom she has served as a symbolic figurehead \u2013 a face familiar in dreams and the untidy drawings of a billion schoolchildren \u2013 since the dawn of the atomic age .\ntaking the left door will allow the game to proceed as normal ( sans the option to go downstairs , with the railing blocking the entrance to do so . ) instead of a keypad to access the mind control facility , you are presented with a voice box in which stanley must speak the password . he is unable to do so , and the narrator launches on a tirade about entering the right door and\ndoing whatever the hell you wanted\n.\nthis is where the decision only to show us scenes of disagreement between sansa and arya comes to fruition . surprise ! littlefinger\u2019s been busted \u2013 he\u2019s done himself out of a job by trying to pit the starks against each other . not only have arya and sansa been working to take him down , but they\u2019ve also had bran to help . littlefinger\u2019s tricks don\u2019t work on the starks , and he\u2019s reduced to begging for mercy . he gets none .\nhaving plans in place for the death of leading royals is a practice that makes some journalists uncomfortable . \u201cthere is one story which is deemed to be so much more important than others , \u201d one former today programme producer complained to me . for 30 years , bbc news teams were hauled to work on quiet sunday mornings to perform mock storylines about the queen mother choking on a fishbone . there was once a scenario about princess diana dying in a car crash on the m4 .\nswitchboards \u2013 the palace , downing street , the department of culture , media and sport \u2013 will be swamped with calls during the first 48 hours . it is such a long time since the death of a monarch that many national organisations won\u2019t know what to do . the official advice , as it was last time , will be that business should continue as usual . this won\u2019t necessarily happen . if the queen dies during royal ascot , the meet will be scrapped . the marylebone cricket club is said to hold insurance for a similar outcome if she passes away during a home test match at lord\u2019s . after the death of george vi in 1952 , rugby and hockey fixtures were called off , while football matches went ahead . fans sang abide with me and the national anthem before kick off . the national theatre will close if the news breaks before 4pm , and stay open if not . all games , including golf , will be banned in the royal parks .\ni recently heard this performed by wintley phipps . amazing ! my precious husband went home to be with jesus on january 26 , 2009 and my momma on april 20 , 2006 . this describes so very well how i have felt about death since coming to know jesus christ as my personal savior . it is such a comfort to those of us who have said a temporary ' see you later ' to those whom we love so dearly . what a blessing to have found this !\na bar owner attempts to discredit the new preacher with whom he is feuding by framing him with a photograph showing him drinking with women with bad reputations . the bar owner ' s adoptive mother , a member of the minister ' s church , supports the preacher and gets the photographic prints . when the bar owner struggles with his mother for the prints , he accidentally kills her . after the preacher ' s funeral sermon , the bar owner ' s conscience drives him to his death .\noutside , news crews will assemble on pre - agreed sites next to canada gate , at the bottom of green park . ( special fibre - optic cable runs under the mall , for broadcasting british state occasions . ) \u201ci have got in front of me an instruction book a couple of inches thick , \u201d said one tv director , who will cover the ceremonies , when we spoke on the phone . \u201ceverything in there is planned . everyone knows what to do . \u201d across the country , flags will come down and bells will toll . in 1952 , great tom was rung at st paul\u2019s every minute for two hours when the news was announced . the bells at westminster abbey sounded and the sebastopol bell , taken from the black sea city during the crimean war and rung only on the occasion of a sovereign\u2019s death , was tolled 56 times at windsor \u2013 once for each year of george vi\u2019s life \u2013 from 1 . 27pm until 2 . 22pm .\nshe uses the spear gun to reach the oxygen tank . she eventually is able to get it and changes oxygen tanks , giving her more air . she begins hearing a voice on the radio and discovers it ' s kate , she ' s still alive . lisa decides to use her scuba gear to lift the cage , getting her free . she swims out of the cage and finds kate , with a very bloody wound on her leg . they talk to taylor and tell him that they are going to try to swim to the top . he tells them to go for it , but not to go too fast or else they will die , due to oxygen bubbles going straight to their brain . they use the flares to ward off the sharks , which works . as they get halfway , they have to stop to decompress for five minutes . as the flare burns out , kate grabs another one but drops it . lisa grabs the last flare , and as she lights it , four or five sharks are circling them . they continue to fend the sharks off with the flare . when they get to the top , they swim to the boat . taylor , louis , and benjamin begin to help them back into the boat . suddenly , lisa is grabbed by a shark . she starts picking at its eye with her fingers , which works and it lets her go . lisa and kate are helped back into the boat .\nin greek myth , eurydice is a tragic object of love . when a fatal snake bite sends her to hell , her husband orpheus won\u2019t let her go , so he leverages his musical talents into a deal with hades and persephone : he may take eurydice back to earth , and life , with him if he goes in front and doesn\u2019t look back at her along the way . but , afraid she is not really there , he does look back . and she is lost forever .\nnitrogen narcosis affects people differently , sometimes not at all . despite having gone down to 50 m myself ( both in the water and in a hyperbaric chamber ) , i can\u2019t really say i\u2019ve ever felt intoxicated ( or \u2018narc\u2019d \ud83d\ude09 ) , but i\u2019ve seen some people totally lose it . however , being narc\u2019d has led to a number of divers suddenly thinking they either don\u2019t need their reg , or the fish they\u2019re looking at could use it , and they end up drowning .\nin theory , everything is settled . but in the hours after the queen has gone , there will be details that only charles can decide . \u201ceverything has to be signed off by the duke of norfolk and the king , \u201d one official told me . the prince of wales has waited longer to assume the british throne than any heir , and the world will now swirl around him at a new and uncrossable distance . \u201cfor a little while , \u201d wrote edward viii , of the days between his father\u2019s death and funeral , \u201ci had the uneasy sensation of being left alone on a vast stage . \u201d in recent years , much of the work on london bridge has focused on the precise choreography of charles\u2019s accession . \u201cthere are really two things happening , \u201d as one of his advisers told me . \u201cthere is the demise of a sovereign and then there is the making of a king . \u201d charles is scheduled to make his first address as head of state on the evening of his mother\u2019s death .\nlast month , mcnulty \u2014 one of the last senior staff who ' d been around for several product release cycles after the departures in january \u2014 called it quits along with other key members of hp ' s enyo team to go to google . sources tell us they ' ll head to the chrome group , where they ' ll rub shoulders with many former co -

aware and brilliant , with a voice that\u2019s evocative , turbulent , and unflinchingly confrontational . like hundreds of other young women , i turned to plath , with her pure , fearless authenticity , to ferry me through the tangle of growing up .\nonce stanley reaches the baby game , he continues to press the button to save the baby . after 2 hours , the narrator will add another game , one where stanley ( you ) have to save a puppy from piranhas by pressing another button in front of the first one . in order to beat both games , stanley has to go back and forth to press both buttons . after a total of four hours playing , stanley will be brought to a white room where he will see the divine art .\nthe next morning , the two sisters meet up with louis and benjamin who take the two to meet taylor . taylor is the captain of an old boat , which houses a rusty shark cage . taylor asks the two sisters if they ' ve ever been scuba diving before , which both claim they have . louis and benjamin are the first two to get into the shark cage . they get in and are lowered into the water . lisa and kate go into another room and get fitted into scuba gear .\nfor several years , the palace has been discreetly trying to ensure charles\u2019s succession as head of the bloc , in the absence of any other obvious option . last october , julia gillard , the former prime minister of australia , revealed that christopher geidt , the queen\u2019s private secretary , had visited her in february 2013 to ask her to support the idea . canada and new zealand have since fallen into line , but the title is unlikely to be included in king charles\u2019s proclamation . instead it will be part of the discreet international lobbying that takes place as london fills up with diplomats and presidents in the days after the queen\u2019s death . there will be serious , busy receptions at the palace . \u201cwe are not talking about entertaining . but you have to show some form of respect for the fact that they have come , \u201d said one courtier . \u201csuch feasting and commingling , with my father still unburied , seemed to me unfitting and heartless , \u201d wrote edward viii in his memoirs . the show must go on . business will mix with grief ."]}

continuity between this film and the next . in frankenstein meets the wolf man , the primary setting is known as vasaria and is the location of frankenstein castle . it should be noted that this is the castle estate of ludwig frankenstein , not the watchtower laboratory of henry frankenstein . in house of frankenstein , the spelling of the village is changed to visaria , but castle frankenstein

movie a much needed boost , but overall frankenstein meets the wolf man is not nearly as fun as its title suggests . the final battle takes up literally seconds of screentime .\ncrossover : this was the very first occasion in which characters from two previously unconnected films had met in such a way , thereby retroactively creating a shared universe in which frankenstein 1931 , bride of frankenstein , son of frankenstein , the ghost of frankenstein and the wolf man 1941 existed .\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man ( 1943 ) is one of the earliest and most celebrated versus movies , though the title suggests the wolf man ( played for the nth time by lon chaney jr . ) is simply inviting friends around for tea . they are hardly seen together at all until the castle - set finale , with the wolf man taking on an anti - hero role and defending the human characters against bela lugosi\u2019s monster . in typical fashion , it\u2019s an even fight , as the wolf man\u2019s agility

characters from different series against each other are misleading , as they almost always ultimately favor one of the various attractions . once a bunch of commercially viable elements are bunched together for one property , so to speak , decisions of dramatic emphasis must be made . frankenstein meets the wolf man , for instance , while serving as the fifth of universal studios\u2019 1930s -

frankenstein meets the wolf man wastes no time in establishing an eerie atmosphere . specifically , an assortment of grave markers and dead trees combine with the luminosity of a full moon , thereby encompassing the talbot mausoleum with a haunting picture of death , decay , and symbolic lunacy\u2014all elements that serve to foreshadow the tormented existence of larry talbot following his \u201crebirth\u201d via moonlight .\nconsequently , lugosi is onscreen literally for only a few minutes , leaving the wolf man as the film ' s primary focus .\nwhile lugosi lacked the elevated cheekbones , sunken features , and narrow jawline for which the monster is usually identified , frankenstein meets the wolf man will nonetheless appeal to fans of the latter character in its title . especially commendable is chaney\u2019s nuanced acting , which reinforces the incredible concept of a man at war with his primal instincts\u2014the true conflict underlying siodmak\u2019s narrative

frankenstein ' s monster out of a block of ice . when talbot changes to the wolf man , the two creatures battle each other .\nlon chaney jr . stars as the unfortunate larry talbot , who gets bitten by a werewolf and survives to carry the curse . in frankenstein meets the wolf man , larry seeks out dr . frankenstein to help him lift the curse , but encounters the doctor ' s monster ( bela lugosi ) instead , which leads to a classic showdown .\nas chaney himself indicated , the best monsters are motivated by factors beyond their control and elicit compassion from audiences as a result . frankenstein meets the wolf man contains the quintessential example of such , with one of its eponymous characters working to end his life and thus permanently kill the beast within .\nbela lugosi as frankenstein ' s monster and lon chaney , jr . as the cursed wolf man collide in one of the great classic horror films of the 1940s . beginning as a moody chiller , director roy william neill sets the

mispronounced as ' frankenstein wolfs the meat man ' . waggner , not known for a casual sense of humor , left to have his lunch ; shortly thereafter , he called siodmak to his office , telling him to\ngo ahead , buy the car .\ndumbfounded but pleased , the writer went to work . thus that next film was frankenstein meets the wolf man , which served as a sequel both to the wolf man and the ghost of frankenstein .\nthis , actually , is an extremely faithful direct sequel to the wolf man for the first half hour . once they get to frankenstein territory , then it ' s something else again .\nin the wolf man , larry talbot , played by the legendary lon chaney jr . ( frankenstein meets the wolf man 1943 , dracula vs . frankenstein 1971 ) , returns home in llanwelly , wales ; he looks to rekindle his relationship with his estranged father only to learn of his brother\u2019s death . it is there where he falls in love with gwen conliffe , an antique shop owner , played by evelyn ankers ( son of dracula 1943 , the invisible man\u2019s revenge 1944 ) . talbot purchases a silver - headed walking stick decorated with a wolf to strike up a conversation with her . gwen tells talbot that the creature on his walking stick represents a werewolf , a man who changes into a wolf at certain times of the year .\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man has the skeletal structure of a really great movie . the concept is compelling , the story is solid , the cast is excellent , and the production quality is well above the \u201cb\u201d status the movie was given . what hamstrings this movie is the bewildering decisions made during the editing of the footage , particularly in regards to bela lugosi\u2019s characterization of the monster .\noh , ain ' t that the truth . i can recognize the faults of frankenstein meets the wolf man . i freely acknowledge that it ' s not a patch on , at least , the two james whale frankenstein films . still , i think i could watch fmtwm once a week for the rest of my life and never tire of it . some of this has to\nsecond and final horror film for hungarian actress ilona massey . she previously appeared in the 1942 movie the invisible agent . this is the second frankenstein film to feature the character of elsa frankenstein . the character was previously played by evelyn ankers in ghost of frankenstein . ankers also worked with lon chaney , jr . in the wolf man .\nfour years after his death in the wolf man , larry talbot ( lon chaney jr ) is awakened from his slumber when two vagrants open his grave . after instantly transforming into a wolf man and killing one of them , he finds himself in cardiff , wales .\nafter the monster lustfully carries off elsa , the wolf man attacks him , she runs out of the castle with mannering . the wolf man and the monster then engage in a fight until they both get swept away in a flood that results after the local tavern owner blows up the town dam to drown the castle ' s inhabitants .\naborted arc : all references to the ending of the ghost of frankenstein were cut , which keeps the monster as the man child it was portrayed before .\nup to that point , there is nothing wrong with the movie . nothing at all . matter of fact , the first third of frankenstein meets the wolf man is , i think , nearly the equal of anything universal ever made . and i\u2019m not talking about it as a \u201cfun\u201d movie , but as a genuinely great piece of filmmaking .\nurltoken frankenstein meets the wolf man / house of frankenstein ( universal studios frankenstein double feature ) : bela lugosi , boris karloff , jr . lon chaney , patric knowles , john carradine , ilona massey , anne gwynne , lionel atwill , peter coe , maria ouspenskaya , george zucco , roy william neill , erle c . kenton , george waggner , paul malvern , curt siodmak , edward t . lowe : movies & tv\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man doesn\u2019t quite live up to its title of two popular monster meeting for the first time , but it provides a great continuation of larry\u2019s story with a serious look into his horrific search for an end to his torment . seriously , check this one out . you\u2019ll be in for a pleasant surprise .\nscreenwriter curt siodmak claimed that during a lunch in the studio commissary he had joked to producer george waggner that he had a great title for a new film in the series ( half - heartedly \u2014 he needed a down payment for a new car ) :\nfrankenstein wolfs the meat man\n. waggner , not known for a casual sense of humor , left to have his lunch ; shortly thereafter , he called siodmak to his office , telling him to\ngo ahead , buy the car .\ndumbfounded but pleased , the writer went to work ; thus that next film was frankenstein meets the wolf man , which served as a sequel both to the wolf man and the ghost of frankenstein .\nso very nearly a perfect film , frankenstein meets the wolf man is still infinitely better than many of its critics , at the time or since , will deign to admit . lambasted for being the first of the monster line - ups , and therefore the beginning of the end of the classic monsters , it\u2019s hard to see where , by 1943 , they were going anyway .\nstuntman eddie parker is usually credited as lugosi ' s sole double , but his primary stunt role was thought to be that of the wolf man .\noutside , vazec decides to go through with his threat . he places a roll of dynamite at the base of the nearby dam and lights it . the explosion causes the dam to collapse and millions of gallons of water flood the valley , destroying frankenstein castle . the wolf man and the frankenstein monster are presumably killed in the flood .\nafter the ezboard deluge , the dam indeed is destroyed , the waters have subsided and the barest remnants of the laboratory castle remain . somewhere , perhaps frozen in ice , may be the bodies of the wolf man and the frankenstein monster . but hundreds of posts about this wonderful film have been washed away by the ezboard hacker and we must , like the villagers before us , rebuild . so let ' s continue with the discussion . is there a more fun movie in all of universal ' s classic canon than frankenstein meets the wolf man ? i think not . david ' frank ! you ' re making him strong again ! '\nwith so much history surrounding it , what is next for the wolf man legacy now that the universal monster will be rebooted and share the same universe ? well , the good news is that fans may be allegedly getting a wolf man film sometime in 2019 , although , no set release date as of yet . exciting enough , there is still no substitute for the real thing , and seventy - five years later , the wolf man still reigns as a landmark piece of horror cinema .\nthe first of what would come to be known as the universal monster rallies , frankenstein meets the wolf man is arguably one of the stronger horror films of the genre , and certainly the best of the multi - monster mashes . with an excellent cast generally , and a superlative performance by lon chaney , the film , directed by roy william neill , is at times visually stunning and beautifully scripted .\nafter dracula kills his first target , neimann moves on to castle frankenstein to locate the good doctor\u2019s records . he also finds the monster and the wolf man , frozen in ice following their battle at the end of the previous movie . he manages to revive the wolf man , but the monster remains comatose . enlisting larry talbot\u2019s ( lon chaney jr . ) aid , neimann returns to his lab to commence resurrecting the monster .\ncomplicating matters even further , the full moon rises in the night sky . larry talbot transforms into the wolf man just as the frankenstein monster breaks free of his straps . the monster approaches elsa who faints as she tries to get away . he picks her up , but the wolf man leaps upon his back , forcing the monster to drop the baroness . as the two creatures begin fighting against one another , the baroness and doctor mannering flee the castle .\ndisc one \u2013 frankenstein ( 1931 ) \u2013 this is exactly the same disc that was released in 2012 . it includes the film in hd , along with the frankenstein files ( sd \u2013 44 : 53 ) , karloff : the gentle monster ( sd \u2013 37 : 58 ) , the monster tracks trivia track , universal horror ( sd \u2013 95 : 26 ) , frankenstein archive ( sd \u2013 9 : 24 ) , the boo ! short film ( sd \u2013 9 : 30 ) , audio commentary with rudy behlmer , audio commentary with sir christopher frayling , trailers for frankenstein , the bride of frankenstein , the ghost of frankenstein , frankenstein meets the wolf man , and house of frankenstein ( sd \u2013 8 : 23 in all ) , and 100 years of universal : restoring the classics ( hd \u2013 9 : 13 )\nin llanwelly village , two graverobbers break into the talbot family tomb . they crack open the casket of lawrence talbot , believing that he had been buried with large sums of money . as the coffin lid rises , the light of the full moon shines through . larry talbot is resurrected as the wolf man . the wolf man pounces on top of one grave robber , freddy jolly , as the other manages to crawl out of the tomb through a window above the vault . the wolf man escapes and goes to nearby cardiff where he kills a police constable .\nsiodmak had found his weenie . the monster had been killed four times at the end of four of his own films . but the frankenstein monster wanted to live . he wanted to live , as badly as the wolf man wanted to die . the monster had to find baron frankenstein , to keep him alive forever .\nuniversal ' s a - team of horror talent behind the camera was in full force for the making of frankenstein meets the wolf man . john b . goodman and martin obzina created some excellent sets , including the remarkably eerie graveyard featured in the film ' s opening . george robinson provided his usual superb camerawork , with some nice use of shadows in the film ' s atmospheric first half .\ndark universe\u2019s core creatives are the mummy director alex kurtzman , chris morgan ( producer behind the fast and the furious franchise ) , christopher mcquarrie ( mission : impossible rogue nation director ) , and david koepp ( writer of 2002\u2019s spider - man ) . the tom cruise - starring the mummy will be the first out of the gate , followed by bride of frankenstein and the invisible man , with the potential wolf man and van helsing film to follow .\nsiodmak was having lunch in the universal commissary one day , so the story goes , when he jokingly suggested frankenstein meets the wolf man as the title for a new movie to producer george waggner . waggner , who apparently didn\u2019t have much of a sense of humor , took siodmak seriously and assigned the project to the writer . siodmak needed money for a down payment on a car and so took the job .\nin this fifth film in universal ' s\nfrankenstein\nseries , larry talbot , alias the wolf man , is brought back to the land of the living . the anguished talbot commiserates with gypsy lady maria ouspenskaya , who advises him that the only way he ' ll stay dead is to confer with dr . frankenstein .\nit was going to be difficult enough to continue the saga of his own creation , the wolf man , but he also had to find a way to integrate the frankenstein monster ( in its fifth film appearance ) into the story . the wolf man had ended with larry talbot ' s father beating larry to death with a silver headed cane . to death . he beat him to death . larry talbot was dead .\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man was directed by roy william neill , who\u2019s probably best known for this movie and for directing most of the basil rathbone and nigel bruce sherlock holmes films . all but two of the holmes pictures were b - movies , but it was hard to tell due to the immense care , love , creativity , and attention neill infused into each outing with the great detective .\ni ' ve always liked the idea of lugosi playing the monster in this film . at the end of the ghost of frankenstein , ygor ' s brain is slapped into the monster ' s body . so , for the monster to physically transform and look more ygor - ish , is kind of a cool idea . even though chaney had a decent enough turn at playing the monster in the ghost of frankenstein , he truly had to play the wolf man . lon chaney jr . is lawrence talbot . he is the wolf man .\nwell , of course , there was a sequel - - in a basic sense , at least - - in house of frankenstein . by that point , it wasn ' t so much a matter of sequels asa continuing series . frankenstein meets the wolf man was itself a sequel to both the wolf man and ghost of frankenstein . i ' m sure someone at universal said ,\nwell , what next ? let ' s throw dracula into the mix too .\nunfortunately ( in my opinion ) , they didn ' t\nmix\nat all . just made a movie in which each monster got his own separate story . bad move .\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man is the first of universal\u2019s crossover monster movies , and it isn\u2019t nearly as confident in scope or pace as the subsequent house of dracula or house of frankenstein , which sent a variety of monsters and a collection of spurned avengers and creators scuttling on a series of overlapping adventures . this film follows a cautious , uncertain narrative , evenly bifurcating its plot so that it\u2019s theoretically half a wolf man movie and half a frankenstein movie . in the first half of the story , talbot is released from his tomb by grave robbers and captured by doctors . in the second half , he tracks down the ruins of the frankenstein castle , yearning to discover a secret to life and death that can enable him to commit suicide and end his werewolf curse .\nso let ' s continue with the discussion . is there a more fun movie in all of universal ' s classic canon than frankenstein meets the wolf man ? i think not . i agree wholeheartedly . depite its re - editing and offbeat casting of the monster , i always thought this was the highpoint of atmosphere and fun in universal ' s ' 40s horror films . i love the orchestration of the familiar themes as well as the original music . and - as my friend john brunas once said so well ,\nit ' s the wolf man ' s finest hour !\nit would certainly be less of a stretch , in the matter of maleva\u2019s acquaintances and also in keeping the supernatural and the scientific in their own worlds , if the wolf man met dracula rather than the monster .\nuniversal had high hopes that frankenstein meets the wolf man would be a blockbuster and it didn ' t disappoint . the film premiered at the rialto theater on broadway , march 5 , 1943 and was popular enough to run from 8 : 30 am to nearly 4 : 00 am . the film scored heavily at the box office in other theaters across the country and was universal ' s top horror attraction of 1943 .\nthe movie is at its best in the beginning , with a phenomenal scene where lon chaney ' s wolf man is revived from the dead , but after that it gets a little lost .\nrick wrote : well , of course , there was a sequel - - in a basic sense , at least - - in house of frankenstein . by that point , it wasn ' t so much a matter of sequels asa continuing series . frankenstein meets the wolf man was itself a sequel to both the wolf man and ghost of frankenstein . i ' m sure someone at universal said ,\nwell , what next ? let ' s throw dracula into the mix too .\nunfortunately ( in my opinion ) , they didn ' t\nmix\nat all . just made a movie in which each monster got his own separate story . bad move .\nwhile mary shelley ' s frankenstein takes place in the 1790 ' s , it can be hard to identify when the universal frankenstein films . . .\nthe good news is , following the success of universal\u2019s 2012 4k restorations of dracula , frankenstein , and the bride of frankenstein , the studio began restoring the sequels films in 2015 \u2013 an effort that is apparently continuing this year and next . the first fruits of this work have just been released in the form of new blu - ray disc upgrades of the frankenstein : complete legacy collection and the wolf man : complete legacy collection ( see our review of the latter set here ) .\nthe first of universal\u2019s monster mashups , this is a solid sequel to the wolf man , but an underwhelming entry in the frankenstein saga . despite the fact that a good deal of the movie takes place at casa de frankenstein , and we get introduced to another of the doctor\u2019s progeny in baroness elsa frankenstein , this movie is pretty uneven for a team - up ( btw do any of these siblings know each other exist ? ) .\nsiodmak apparently had little interest in the films predecessor , the ghost of frankenstein , choosing to ignore that movie ' s ludwig in favor of the original henry frankenstein from the original classic , thus creating an inconsistency that would plague the succeeding frankenstein sequels for the rest of the series .\nthe last outing for the frankenstein monster was , the ghost of frankenstein . through a devious plan , ygor ( bela lugosi ) had his brain placed into the body of the frankenstein monster ( played by lon chaney jr . ) by one of dr . frankenstein ' s sons , ludwig . the frankenstein - ygor - monster was then quickly dispatched in a burning building . the frankenstein monster , it should be noted , was blind and spoke with ygor ' s voice at the end of the film .\nin order to put the wolf man and the monster through further film adventures , scripter curt siodmak has to resurrect the former from a tomb , and the frankenstein creation from the ruins of the castle where he was purportedly killed . but he delivers a good job of fantastic writing to weave the necessary thriller ingredients [ \u2026 ]\nreading from the journal , they determine that both the frankenstein monster and the wolf man are effectively immortal . however , if they could bleed off the electrical energy from the creature ' s body , they might succeed in destroying it . talbot hopes that perhaps this same process might also work on him .\nthe period 1931 - 41 was a great era of horror . during this period , universal created a body of classic monsters \u0096 frankenstein , dracula , the invisible man , the mummy and the wolf man . however , by the mid 40s , the war had forced cutbacks in terms of budget and personnel shortages and universal compensated by churning out a series of sequels featuring their famous monsters and then , beginning with\nit is all so unapologetically absurd in its quest for audience appeal and entertainment ( and money ) that it\u2019s a wonder the crossovers only were relegated to frankenstein , dracula , and the wolf man . strangely , the mummy never showed up in these pictures , nor the invisible man . purportedly , the invisible man and the ape woman were set to appear in house of frankenstein when it was originally entitled the devil\u2019s brood , however it seems that even in 1943 , there were concerns with overstuffing a film with too many characters . perhaps marvel should take notes after that second avengers .\nhowever , what it lacks in nutrition , son of frankenstein makes up for in fat globs of sweet cheese . the opening scene where the mayor of frankenstein meets with the mob is hilariously matter of fact , lugosi chews all the scenery he can , the monster kills plenty of people and smashes a lot of furniture , and the climax puts the bang in slam - bang .\npatric knowles , who plays the role of doctor frank mannering in this film , also played the part of chaney ' s romantic foil , frank andrews in the wolf man . this was knowles ' final horror film .\npower , whether in super strength or knowledge , maintains a great role within the film , frankenstein meets the wolf man . the first instance of power occurs with talbot , or the wolf man . his super strength and curse seem supernatural within the narrative . his ability of immunity proves the greatest of strengths . the creature also maintains a supernatural power of immunity and super strength . the creature becomes unleashed by talbot in the old ruins of frankenstein ' s fortress ; talbot frees the creature from a block of ice . once dr . mannering reads into frankenstein ' s life work , the secret of life and death , he obtains a secret knowledge that explains the supernatural powers from the two monsters . he reads in frankenstein ' s book that energy may be transferred from an indestructible force . he learns that frankenstein ' s creation may have the life of more than a 100 men . dr . mannering abuses this power . when mannering experiments with the transfer of power between the two monsters , he goes against his word because he doesn ' t want to destroy frankenstein ' s creation without experiencing its most powerful state . he decides to super charge frankenstein ' s creation . the two monsters then fight , but the film never explicitly shows the victor .\nas ultimately edited and released , frankenstein meets the wolf man is told in two almost equal parts . the opening scenes tell the story of talbot ' s resurrection , killing spree , hospitalization , and escape across europe . much time is spent with a secondary policeman , inspector owen , and on scenes with a desperate talbot hospitalized by dr . mannering . the discovery of the monster and pursuit of dr . frankenstein ' s scientific notes do not begin until thirty - five minutes into the film . the second half introduces the monster , elsa , and the village of vasaria and its inhabitants .\nbaroness elsa frankenstein and a distressed larry are the special guests at a vasaria festival .\nfrankenstein meets the wolf man was the first universal monster movie i ever saw . i think i was in the 3rd grade at the time . somehow , i kept missing all the great monster movies that all the other kids were seeing . i ' d show up at school the next day and find out from the other kids that i ' d missed frankenstein or dracula or the mummy the day before . the movies were always the hot topic of conversation on the playground the next day . i knew who all the monsters were , of course . monsters were big in the 1960 ' s and you could find them in toy departments everywhere . well , i came home from school one day and i was the only one home . i guess my mom was out shopping or something . i turned on the tv and what should come on but . . . frankenstein meets the wolf man ! i was in monsterkid heaven ! fmtwm was creepy and cool ! and i still have a soft spot in my heart for it . naturally , i love them all but , this particular movie remains\nspecial .\n- gjs\nthe original cut of the film included dialogue scenes of the frankenstein monster , speaking with larry talbot in the glacial cave beneath the castle .\nyeah , a better sequel would have been dracula vs . the wolf man . then i could have dealt with house . as long as lugosi was in all of them . oh , well .\nhorror films . neill ' s superb staging of the opening graveyard sequence , talbot ' s first transformation scene , and the wolf man ' s murder of the constable rank among the very best moments in all the universal classics . given his outstanding direction on\nduring larry talbot ' s first transformation into the wolf man , he goes from wearing light - colored night clothes to a dark shirt and pants . when he awakens the next morning , he ' s back wearing the pajamas .\nfrankenstein actually felt like an extra in this movie , which was a bit of a shame if i ' m honest . . . i have always considered him universals top monster ! as a whole it was decent but compared to frankenstein ' s prior movie efforts and the original wolf man , this just doesn ' t hold a candle to them !\nand now returns to play the wolf man again . chaney was a big , lugubrious , hulking actor who only ever came across as dim - witted . as the nominal hero here , he seems simple - minded .\nthrough all those changes , the wolf man was always played by lon chaney jr . he always felt proud of the character , sometimes even saying that the role was his baby . so proud of the character , chaney jr . would eventually return to reprise his role even while severely ill at the time of 1971\u2019s dracula vs . frankenstein . despite never getting another standalone film , it definitely helped give some consistency to the character and it gave fans something to latch on to , but most of all , it gave the wolf man a much more genuine arc .\nin order to put the wolf man and the monster through further film adventures , scripter curt siodmak has to resurrect the former from a tomb , and the frankenstein creation from the ruins of the castle where he was purportedly killed . but he delivers a good job of fantastic writing to weave the necessary thriller ingredients into the piece , and finally brings the two legendary characters together for a battle climax .\nenjoyable old universal studios sequel with lon chaney , jr . reprising his role as larry talbot ( aka the wolf man ) . bela lugosi is less than spectacular as frankenstein ' s monster but that may have more to do with boris karloff ' s absence than lugosi ' s presence .\nluckily , the aftermath was siodmak and chaney\u2019s creation taking an even more central focus as the star of the movie , and soon the universal shared cinematic universe . and no matter what , there\u2019s also not a person alive who cannot grin at frankenstein meets the wolf man \u2019s grand finale when these mutual masters of malevolence have their much hyped combat in the castle\u2014throwing lab equipment and each other around like a prophecy of wwe shenanigans to come . for matching the sheer gonzo joy of this epic brawl , the ball is in your court , zack snyder .\nthe opening scene of frankenstein meets the wolf man is the stuff of pure traditional gothic horror films . excellent camerawork by george robinson gives us a single panning shot of llanwelly cemetery as vagrants cyril delevanti and tom stevenson break into the talbot crypt to steal a valuable ring from the corpse of lawrence talbot ( chaney ) , who died some fours previously . they discover the lycanthrope\u2019s body to be strangely preserved , and as the full moon rises and shines through a window , talbot returns to life , murdering one of the grave - robbers as the other frantically flees .\nlooking at the future of werewolves in horror cinema , the definitive style of the modern werewolf can all look back on the wolf man all these years later . ranging from 1981\u2019s an american werewolf in london , to the howling series , to 1985\u2019s silver bullet , and beyond , there are all touches of the wolf man inside all of them . additionally , all these films have some sort of heartbreak wrapped around there stories where the werewolf ends up meeting death , otherwise they will kill the one they love .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken subscribe to classic trailers : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken frankenstein meets the wolf man trailer -

and - back and loop hikes . while a hike just on the sunset trail to the catwalk on mount elden , where you can continue 1 . 8 miles further to the summit , is a great outing , the following are some other choices that don ' t require retracing your steps . while not all loops in this area need to include the sunset trail , these routes begin and end from the same parking area , where several trails converge : sunset trail ( moderate uphill ) to the heart trail ( downhill ) to little elden trail , which takes you around the base of mt . elden , back to the starting point ( 10 miles ) little elden trail to little bear trail ( moderate , well -

herders who once frequented the area . like the other trails in the area , the sunset trail is generally well - graded and rarely all that steep , making it a popular destination for trail runners and mountain bikers . so expect to make way for quite a few bikes , and you won ' t be surprised .\nafter a few hundred yards the trail passes an old concrete foundation on the left . continue walking west on the trail until it crosses a clearing with a power line . privately owned communication towers exist just ahead on west mountain . the trail forks just below these towers . the path to the right is the\nlow\nroad , and the trail to the left is the\nhigh\nroad . take the right trail for ease and a pleasant natural setting . it can be confusing to find your way back to the sunset trail if you stray left . stay on the trail and you will begin to descend at an old , wooden nps sign . continue down the trail and wind around towards black snake road .\nin addition to sunset trail super lite , crossroads has introduced an up -

strewn trace just after crossing the mountain top trail ( approximately 100 yards past the trailhead ) . you ' ll come to a concrete bench , beyond it , the sunset trail starts to climb west mountain and narrows , passing the remains of an old trail shelter to the right . it was the only shelter ever built on this trail .\nunless you are planning a large wedding , you should check out the sunset inn . it is intimate and on the island . sea trail is very large and nice but on the main land .\nsunset trail is a 8 . 3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near flagstaff , arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels . the trail is primarily used for hiking and mountain biking and is best used from may until november . dogs are also able to use this trail .\nthe highest elevation in the park ( 1405 feet or 428 meters ) is at the westernmost point of the sunset trail , on music mountain . the peak can be reached via an overgrown roadbed to your right , although there is not much of a view since the top has not been cleared . another old nps sign with trail distances is here . do not go left . it is a dead end trail leading out of the park boundaries . as the trail continues , it begins to descend , and the trees take on an eerie , gnarled appearance . several hundred feet down , the twisting trail leads to a clearing and a view of the towers that were passed earlier . you will pass a metal shed to the left of the trail . the west mountain section of the sunset trail ends at a parking area on blacksnake road .\ni know this area from having had a house on sunset beach island for 10 years .\neasy trail , mostly incline heading in . it ' s gradual and easy to take . there were several others out there including a dozen or so bikes . the trail map shown here is a system of which sunset is the first leg .\ni did the loop from fatman ' s -

mile stroll to one of the most scenic vistas in the park .\ndue to the length of the trail , visitors usually break the hike up into three separate sections . the first section traverses west mountain and is probably the most popular . it is also the most recommended stretch due to its proximity to parking and the downtown area . it has several overlooks of the southern part of hot springs and lake hamilton . the second section is the most scenic , crossing through a beautiful mixed pine and hardwood forest on sugarloaf mountain and revealing views of such novaculite outcroppings as balanced rock . old roadbeds make up portions of this section of sunset trail . the third section passes through land on stonebridge road that was once part of the fordyce family estate . purchased by the family years ago , the land is part of the crucial recharge area for the thermal springs . the trail crosses fordyce mountain . the waterworks for the city of hot springs are below the trail on the north side of the ridge .\nthe sunset trail is popular particularly in the summertime as it ' s higher up mt . lemmon and connects hikers to the marshall gulch area without having to drive all the way up through summerhaven . it ' s a common parking / starting point for visitors as outings can also easily head the other direction to the top of bigelow via bear wallow under the road , or visitors can also head to the butterfly trail . additional parking also exists across catalina highway near the butterfly trail . from the sunset parking area , head west down the hill on the dirt road . before long , you ' ll reach an intersection with another road . head straight across it to the singletrack pretty much directly ahead which then winds left up a gentle slope . the rest of the trail is pretty much straightforward all the way until crossing the creek right before the marshall gulch picnic area . there you ' ll find a bathroom and both the lower aspen trail # 93 and the marshall gulch trail # 3 . there ' s reasonable tree cover for a good portion of the way while other sections are more exposed . coming back from marshall gulch is definitely much more uphill , but it ' s pretty scenic the entire way .\nthe trail passes through a grassy glade and forks to the right . the left fork is a trail spur continuing for 1 . 5 miles within park boundaries . this portion , maintained by the nps , ends on fordyce peak . when the underbrush clears in late fall and winter , the trail is easier to see than in summer , when it ' s hard to spot among the fordyce peaks .\ni have read through the reviews and i am suprised at what has been said . i have lived at sunset trail for over 4 years now and intend to stay longer . this place is quiet and the rooms are comfortable . the only thing i hated when\u2026 see more\nsea trail resort -

sized threats . why has she been holding back ?\ncagliostro : i was really planning on just lifting the seal on my old body .\nbut cagliostro pays no heed to the danger . a smile dances upon her lips .\nshuffling stealthily away from the man , cagliostro makes her way toward a lone girl .\ncagliostro : you crave it with every ounce of your being , don ' t you\u2014the truth that i alone have attained ; the truth that you will never know .\ncagliostro , who happens to be in the neighborhood , listens to ladiva ' s plight with the kidnapped children . cagliostro lures out one of the kidnappers and uses him to lead her right to their hideout . after she and ladiva rescue the children , the two realize they are alike in more ways than one .\nsome time prior to the war between the sky dwellers and the astrals , cagliostro lived as a sickly boy close to death . with the aid of his younger sister , he pursued methods to avoid his early demise regardless of how the people in village thought . after many failures , cagliostro was able to create a new female body and transferred his soul into it . that wasn\u2019t the end . she refined the technique and kept at her research , coining the term \u201calchemy , \u201d thus becoming the founder of the practice . word spread as cagliostro made her art grow , garnering awe and even disciples wishing to learn from her .\nafter chasing out the imperial soldiers from the village , the party goes to a nearby cave . inside they find the research documents that the erste empire seeks\u2014except those documents turn out to be cagliostro ' s diary .\nlupin and clarisse , who have safely landed in the lake , watch the lake around the castle drains to reveal exquisite ruins . lupin and his friends take their leave of clarisse , now ruler of cagliostro , as zenigata chases after them again and fujiko makes off with the printing plates from the counterfeit money presses .\ncagliostro : interpret it any way you wish . after all , this can only end with the lot of you in ouroboros ' belly .\nwhere most of the items on this list could be explained away with the proper application of magic , this one ' s just a big , fat , glaring oversight in terms of logic . in the library at kamar - taj there is a section of books dubbed ' the ancient one ' s private collection , containing dark knowledge that no one but she could be trusted with . one of these books had the incantation for accessing dormammu ' s dark dimension and the power of eternal life .\nbut if the second half of the film takes place over the course of a single day and night , that was quite a hike up the totem pole . he started the day as a student , and was practically ( but not quite ) the sorcerer supreme before he went to bed .\nnew to the film will be the ability for yo -

taj library and used the eye of agamotto to read the missing pages from the book of cagliostro , it wasn ' t long before mordo and wong caught him red - handed . they launched into a stern lecture about the dangers of messing with time ( which we ' ll come back to in a minute ) , and wong put the evil volume back where it belonged .\nthe second animated lupin iii movie and arguably the most famous , castle of cagliostro was written and directed by hayao miyazaki ( who also co - directed the first lupin iii tv series and directed two episodes of the second ) before he formed studio ghibli . cagliostro features gentleman thief lupin iii , grandson to maurice leblanc ' s french literary master thief ars\u00e8ne lupin .\nby cagliostro ' s wishes the party heads to a certain island . however , monsters block their path on the way there .\nthe ambitious la marca brothers establish trinacria films , seeking to make sicily , and particularly palermo , a centre of film production to rival rome . to achieve this they need the support of a cardinal , a politician and a local aristocrat . the baron , enchanted by the historical cagliostro , goes bankrupt trying to finance the doomed production . erroll douglas , an american actor well past his prime , and well into the grip of alcohol , accepts the title role .\ncagliostro : i don ' t know how they began to mistake it as some sort of research journal . . .\ncagliostro : i declined of course . and they thought they ' d be able to force my obedience . . .\nbut to align the story better with the recent tutankhamen discovery , the following story was crafted , with the name of tut ' s queen ankh - es - en - amon serving as that of im - ho - tep ' s forbidden lover .\nmaking trouble with her trusty partner , ouroboros , cagliostro is attacked by the imperial soldiers . however , their reckless assault only further stimulates cagliostro ' s sadism .\nkatalina : hm ? now that i think about it , i ' m pretty sure the founder of alchemy , cagliostro , was a man . . .\nthe imbecility of the director ( pietro giordano again ) , producers and gaffers who can\u2019t agree on how to position a mattress for a stunt leap out of a window brings douglas to an end that few of freddy krueger\u2019s victims would envy .\nsandra hebron , the artistic director of the 47th london film festival ( lff ) has just announced the complete programme of this year ' s event , which will be taking place from october 22 to november . . .\nthe true cagliostro is quick to insult , very forceful , and enjoys using violence to solve problems , to punish , or just uses it as an outlet for her easily lit temper . when she first meets the main character\u2019s crew , her innocent fa\u00e7ade quickly faded and cagliostro attempted to feed the crew to her pet , ouroboros , for no dire reason . what stopped cagliostro was seeing convenience in joining the crew for protection and to have a means of travel . outside of the crew , cagliostro tends to talk down to the general populace and is annoyed by their low intellect .\nafter a series of flops , the la marca brothers come up with the idea of shooting a cheap rip - off of a successful cape - and - sword costumer about an 18th - century magician called cagliostro . erroll douglas ( englund ) , an actor well down the road to sunset boulevard , is brought over from hollywood to play the lead . he\u2019s the only professional on the set , but he can\u2019t communicate because no one speaks english .\nthe party destroys the so - called adversa reborn , but by that time the man is already gone .\ncagliostro : it was a hell of a long time ago . . . and i ' m not talking metaphorically either .\ncagliostro : and if they got their hands on a corrupted sort of alchemy geared toward decomposition , toward destruction . . .\ncagliostro : hehe . they ' re welcome to try . in fact that would make quick work of this little job .\ncagliostro : that ' s right . and it was lyria ' s power that obliterated the seal .\ncagliostro : yeah . . . there ' s a reason i ' m the strongest after all .\narsene lupin iii and daisuke jigen are escaping on a fiat 500 pursuit after robbing the casino of monaco , only to discover that their entire haul is counterfeit . when lupin was just getting started as a professional thief , he was almost killed while searching for the source of these so - called goat bills . he decides that it is time to take another chance , and lupin , with jigen , heads off to the purported source of the bills , the principality of cagliostro .\n\u2015 i didn ' t go to see fireworks on the 4th last week , but i did go to see fireworks the anime movie on the 3rd . that ' s some clever timing on the part of whoever ' s in charge of promoting the film . the movie itself is alright , and it ' s cert . . .\ncagliostro : i can change a lot with my alchemy , you know\u2014like a child into an adult . or the masculine into the feminine .\nby the time ( captain ) ' s party destroys adversa , the alchemist has already run away . cagliostro tells the crew about the sort of foe who ' d pose a threat to her , holding on to a faint hope to one day meet such a person .\none day , cagliostro was approached by the astrals and was promised great power in exchange for following their commands . it is unclear whether this happened before her sister\u2019s death but cagliostro declined and soundly trounced the astrals when they tried to force the matter . that was not the last time cagliostro had come to odds with others due to her infamy .\neven at the end of the movie , after strange saved loads of lives by rewinding things a few minutes , mordo was still all doom - and - gloom .\nthe bill always comes due ,\nhe liked to say . the implication being : screw around with time , and there will always be a price to pay . he ' s so uptight about strange using the eye to undo the whole dormammu thing that you ' d be forgiven for thinking mordo ' s actually arguing for the end of the world . ( we think it was more in the neighborhood of\nthe ends don ' t justify the means .\n)\ncagliostro : their primal strength was a joke . so what exactly do you plan to do with that sham of a weapon ?\ncagliostro loses her life in the search for alchemical materials . the crew stands dumbfounded as she rises again , a fearless smile on her face as she dispatches the troops with ease .\ncagliostro ignores ladiva ' s call and leaves with the man , a sincere smile plastered on her face .\ncagliostro : hey there ! isn ' t this place so much fun ? i love all the candy .\ncagliostro : by the way . . . do you ever feel like you want to be something else ?\nduring the final fight in hong kong , stephen strange uses the eye of agamotto to reverse time to undo most or all of the damage kaecilius had unleashed . by turning time back far enough , he ' s able to restore the hong kong sanctum , bring wong ( and presumably other sorcerers and civilians ) back to life , and undo a ton of damage to the city .\ncagliostro : not much of a surprise there . if i were to die , you scum would have a lot to answer for .\ncagliostro : you said you were a duelist before , right ? sounds like this kind of job ' s not up your alley .\nfor the first time ever , fathom events and eleven arts bring legendary director hayao miyazaki\u2019s directorial debut film , lupin the 3rd : the castle of cagliostro , to u . s . cinemas nationwide for a special two - day event on september 14 and 19 only ! lupin and jigen successfully rob a casino of millions , but only to find that the money is counterfeit . lupin notices how well the money is forged and decides to make his next target the possible source of the forgery , cagliostro . they enter the country and run into a car chase between a group of men after a girl in a wedding dress . lupin , who loves girls , decides to abruptly make a detour to assist the bride in her escape . they successfully outrun the men but have an accident . lupin goes unconscious but wakes up to find a ring with the royal crest of cagliostro in a white glove from the bride . this exciting two - night event also features never before seen special footage with creator comments\ncagliostro : think of it as a bad turn of fate . i ' m a nice person , so i ' ll have him swallow you whole and make sure you don ' t suffer .\nstrange man : ma ' am . . . what would you say if i told you . . . that you look just like master cagliostro , the founder of alchemy ?\ntheir escape leads them to the printing presses , where lupin and zenigata finally discover the source of the goat bills . zenigata wants to find evidence , but lupin points out they must escape first . they set the money and presses on fire as a distraction and steal the count ' s autogyro . however , when they attempt to return to rescue clarisse , lupin is shot and critically wounded . clarisse offers her ring to the count in exchange for lupin ' s life ; the count ' s attempt at betrayal is foiled when fujiko ' s quick actions lead to an escape for her , lupin , and zenigata .\ncagliostro : you people . . . i see . so that ' s why the seal lifted . . .\ncagliostro : ugh . . . just remembering the crap i used to go through pisses me off . . .\ndoctor strange uses several\ntime jumps\nin its storytelling . we know it starts during the events of captain america : civil war , because war machine ' s spinal injury was one of the cases offered to strange while he was driving his lamborghini before it crashed . we also know it ends shortly before next year ' s thor : ragnarok . but the path it takes to get there is full of fits and starts . the first half of the film fast - forwards through several months of time from the car accident , strange ' s recovery , multiple attempts to regain the use of his hands , to finally his training at kamar - taj . then the movie shifts into a different mode .\nin rare instances , cagliostro can become flustered with those she is close to . the main character can get options that allow them to carry cagliostro or pat her head , resulting in the alchemist becoming embarrassed . clarisse can achieve at making her blush as well by calling cagliostro her mentor . she tries to cover with the fake adorable girl act or with cold words , though it\u2019s obvious that cagliostro was affected .\nhurricane matthew may have done a number on your roof , but it ' s nothing compared to the chaos it wreaked on spooky empire . the annual horror convention had the bad luck to be scheduled for the very weekend that matthew hit the area , and ended up having to cancel with barely any notice . many attendees from out of town were stuck in their non - refundable hotel rooms , deprived of their planned photo ops , zombie walks and parties . it was a big blow to spooky , which is a labor of love run by a small cabal of horror fans who lack the deep pockets of , say , informa , the multinational corporation that owns megacon . luckily , most of the biggest names for the canceled october con are returning for this make - up date , including the\ncagliostro : you have no intention of running away , i see . well then i won ' t hold back . . . hmm ?\na group of actors and actresses gather in a remote northeastern town to rehearse for a mysterious stage production , only to be plunged into a hellish world where their real lives mirror the grisly story of the play .\nthe creator of alchemy in the skydoms , cagliostro sought to achieve immortality , and in turn , discovered a way to swap out her body at regular intervals . an extreme narcissist capable of creating her ideal body at will , she created her current self in the pursuit of idealized cuteness . however , her attempts at matching it with an equally cute voice often leave something to be desired . cagliostro is supremely confident , which causes her to view others as incompetent buffoons . forever greedy in the ever - changing world around her , cagliostro pursues alchemic research with single - minded stoicism .\n\u2015 five years ago , i wrote a column about some of the works of nobuyuki fukumoto , a manga artist sometimes affectionately called fkmt by his fans . it was a celebration of milestones like akagi and kaiji , and several . . .\ncagliostro : heh . safe ? i wouldn ' t say that . the death you witnessed in there was real .\ncagliostro : me with that doll in my arms . . . just imagine the picture it would paint . . .\nlyria : i have to say , cagliostro . . . you ' re passionate about the strangest things . . .\none of the subtle messages of this movie seems to be that today ' s palermo is not much different from the palermo of 1947 . in many ways , of course , sicily has changed since 1947 . this movie offers some keen social commentary about the catholic church , the italian political establishment and the declining nobility as they then existed and , in a more updated guise , still do . in fact , there are some not - so - subtle references to living sicilians .\nthe most help he received in the sanctum was from the cloak of levitation , a magic cape that allowed him to fly but also seemed to have a mind of its own . not only did it protect him from kaecilius ' attacks , it directed him to that cage thing that immobilized the villain .\ncagliostro : stupid hacks sure did a number on the cutest body in the word . ugh , walking around sick isn ' t what i signed up for .\nin 1932 , sir joseph ' s son frank is about to abandon another expedition . we hear about the consequences of the 1921 incident : norton\ndied laughing , in a straitjacket .\nthe weird egyptian , ardath bey , arrives promising them the\nmost sensational find since that of tutankhamen . . . . i will show you where to dig\nfor the tomb of the princess ankh -

- an eastern prejudice .\n: the mummy as mummy , the bandaged monster , appears only in the opening scene ; the\nmonstrosity\nin this film is actually the horror of static obsession . we have light but ample evocations of necrophilia , which helen picks up on in frank ' s moronic comments about unsealing tombs and which seem repressed just below the surface of im - ho - tep ' s line about the\ndisgrace\n:\nthey broke in upon me , and found me doing an unholy thing .\ndropping into the roles of douglas / cagliostro like a tailor - made suit , englund uses his foreignness to distance douglas from the sicilian characters and his charisma to ironically bring the magician to life . only two other members of the cast , the amusingly well - cast burruano and scaldati , are professional actors , and it shows . as in their previous films , the directors prefer quick , satiric sketches to developed characters , a rather limiting carryover from their tv work .\n( captain ) and company manage to chase out the imperial soldiers occupying the village .\n( captain ) and company repel the agents and prepare to face the strange man .\nshe had the unfortunate experience of watching the empire steal away her sisters from her orphanage . so now she is determined to prevent other children from suffering .\nimperial soldier : do whatever it takes to find it ! there ' s record of the founder staying here .\nthe party arrives at the village and finds imperial soldiers seeking research materials that cagliostro may have left behind in her heyday . she shouts obscenities at the imperial soldiers , angering them and causing them to attack .\ncagliostro : what do you expect me to do but laugh ? dignity . . . for alchemists ? what sort of dignity can an alchemist have !\ncagliostro : so there you have it . i ' m kinda done with the whole being -

squad ! ) , and they showed the first episode at anime expo 2018 .\ncagliostro : heck if i know what they want . . . but they ' ve got another thing coming if they think the cutest girl in the world is gonna stand for this !\n: originally , the story ( by nina wilcox putnam ; screenplay by richard schayer ) was to have involved boris karloff playing cagliostro , an egyptian magician whose immortality comes from his self - injections of nitrates and who kills all women who remind him of one who betrayed him , using even radio and television rays . the film would have been called\ndespite cagliostro\u2019s often depraved behavior and immoral means of feeding her ever present hunger for knowledge , there is a caring and fiercely loyal side to her . after traveling with the crew for some time , cagliostro is willing to throw herself into harm\u2019s way when lyria is in danger . when it comes to the main character , cagliostro also shields them from danger and threatens others with death should they betray them . those being only a couple examples of that behavior , cagliostro either doesn\u2019t mention anything regarding it or plays it off by saying that she had an ulterior motive . it can be unclear whether this is the truth but as time goes on , cagliostro herself admits that she has grown soft and aids the crew when she doesn\u2019t stand to gain anything . along those lines cagliostro holds deep affection for her family . she became enraged when the helmuth guild created lies about her sister , and is a strict but patient mentor to her niece , clarisse .\nso why were those cities chosen ? we think it ' s likely they ' re built on lay lines , aka veins of mystical energy running beneath the earth . whether the cities already existed when agamotto built the sanctums , or the cities sprung up around the sanctums , is never explained , but either explanation could logically fit .\ncagliostro : well then i ' ll look into it and tell you everything i learn .\ncagliostro : hehehe . . . as if you ' d stand a chance against me ."]}

headed mouse king causing his body to shrink back to mouse - size and become one - headed again . what remains of the giant mouse king is his coat and his crown . the nutcracker crawls in the sleeve after the fleeing mouse and clara follows him , becoming an adult as she wanders through the coat ' s passageways . she emerges from the coat onto a wintry pavilion , where she finds the nutcracker transformed into a handsome prince . they dance romantically , and as they depart the snow falls and the snow fairies appear to dance the\nwaltz of the snowflakes\n.\nthe opening shots of\nthe nutcracker\nshow an illustrator setting out his tools and beginning to sketch some of the sets and characters in the story . the drawings are by maurice sendak , an artist whose work inspired this production , and they supply a promising beginning : perhaps this film will liberate\nthe nutcracker\nfrom its fate as an annual holiday chestnut .\n\u201cadults instead of children\u201d for the nutcracker\u2019s debut , students from the imperial ballet school in st . petersburg were cast as children . it was not a popular decision . in a 1919 production by choreographer alexander groshky , adults were given the roles of clara and the nutcracker prince . fans loved the decision . using adults instead of children was one of the many criticisms addressed by the groshky\u2019s version .\na review of the album in classical guitar magazine stated :\nafter listening to the cd , i must admit that sparks catches the essence of the music in a wonderful way . for the advanced player , this is an excellent edition to reap the rewards of the nutcracker suite .\nneither the choreography ( by kent stowell ) nor the dancing ( by patricia barker as the dream clara , and wade walthall as the nutcracker ) is anything out of the ordinary . what makes this production special is the collaboration of children ` s book author maurice sendak on the design of the sets and costumes .\nnutcracker : the movie\nfirst hit theatres in 1986 . maurice sendak who wrote and illustrated\nwhere the wild things are\ndid the designs for the visuals in the movie . my favorite of the christmastide stories . . . i truly enjoyed this version .\n\u201clukewarm reception at best\u201d today , whether it\u2019s the nutcracker in atlanta or the nutcracker in philadelphia , tchaikovsky\u2019s ballet is one of the most endearing and beloved live events of the year . back when it debuted on dec . 18 , 1892 in st . petersburg , russia the ballet received a lukewarm reception at best . even tchaikovsky\u2019s classic score received mixed reviews .\nthe difference here is that they now come plummeting down - to certain metaphoric death . a toy proscenium takes the form of a toothy nutcracker mask - the jaws snap shut with chilling finality .\nwhether through the classical ballet itself or one of the countless films inspired by its story or some holiday tv commercial featuring its famed tchaikovsky score , the nutcracker is everywhere this time of year .\n\u201cgeorge balanchine staged the ballet\u201d every year around christmastime , nutcracker productions pop up all over the united states . fans are likely to find the nutcracker in boston , the nutcracker in houston , as well as several other major u . s . cities . this tradition began in 1954 when choreographer george balanchine staged the ballet in new york . his version , which used the best parts of the original production as well as some new elements including a nephew for drosselmeyer , became insanely popular in the big apple . balanchine\u2019s production was twice broadcasted on network television .\nthis film adaptation of the fairytale and ballet tells the story of little clara stahlbaum and her christmas gift , a beautiful nutcracker . on christmas eve , clara ' s godfather gives her the present , but her brother breaks it out of jealousy . the nutcracker is repaired , and late that night , when clara sneaks downstairs to look at it , she has a vivid dream in which an army of mice led by the mouse king threaten her and the nutcracker turns into a prince to save her .\nthirteen - year - old vanessa sharp plays the adolescent clara , a bittersweet beauty torn between her toy nutcracker and the prince of her dreams . patricia barker , the elegant ballerina who dances the grown - up dream clara , is squired by wade walthall , who makes a swarthy , swashbuckling nutcracker prince . the familiar music is performed by the london symphony orchestra conducted by sir charles mackerras .\ni watched the end of the bolshoi ballets nutcracker with maximova and vasilli which was brilliant . in this version the costumes , choreography and dancing don ' t compare . in ballet go for bolshoi i\nnothing explicit , but herr dosselmeier clearly has strong , perhaps sensual , feelings for his young god - daughter in this version of the nutcracker .\nclara morphs into a woman as she follows the nutcracker through the folds of drosselmeier ' s gigantic cloak . here , clara and the sugar plum fairy are interchangeable . moreover , the narrator speaks of the nutcracker\nonly having eyes\nfor her as they danced the night away . young viewers might not catch on to the subtext , but adults certainly will . meanwhile , the dancing , the music , the costumes and the sets are stunning . a good choice for more mature viewers and fans of sendak ' s magical artistic contribution .\nif you are looking for a nutcracker video and are confused as to which one to get , because there are just so many , stop here ! this is the best version of the nutcracker , good for people who like a story and for people who like dance . this version has the most character development and best cinemotagraphy out of all the nutcrackers . the dancing and the sets are also exquisit .\na christmas party is at hand and a master craftsman is at work in his studio making toys for the children . when the eve of the big party arrives , clara and her brother fritz are enjoying the festivities with their friends and family when the craftsman , herr drosselmeier , arrives with a bag full of toys , including a doll house with two dancing dolls inside for his favorite goddaughter , clara . she , however , prefers the nutcracker which falls from the christmas tree , into her arms . after naughty fritz breaks the nutcracker , clara visits it at midnight to witness an army of mice come to life and engage in battle with the nutcracker and his army . clara follows the nutcracker on a journey where they meet many characters who fascinate them with their dances .\n\u201centertaining and visually stunning version\u201d the hard nut won ovation tv\u2019s \u201cbattle of the nutcrackers\u201d in 2007 , 2008 , and 2009 . probably due to its immense popularity , the production was not included in the annual contest in 2010 . this production of the nutcracker was choreographed by mark morris . he updated the sets and the costumes using images inspired by artist charles burns . since 2007 , fans have been able to watch this entertaining and visually stunning version of the nutcracker on dvd .\nwe used to own this pacific northwest version of the nutcracker on vhs and it was our very favorite for many years . i must say when viewing the new dvd that we recently purchased , i was disappointed . they claim the copy to be widescreen but the editing is not the same as our old vhs copy . the old one had more panoramic shots when it mattered . this one has close ups when the panoramic would have been a better choice to really do the ballet justice . the ballet performers do an excellent job , but it takes a whole team to create quality . whoever edited this mgm limited addition collection version may have used what they had available to get the best picture quality , but the picture as a whole was compromised in the process . sad . also the cover photo does not match this particular version . on the back there is one small snapshot true to what one sees on the dvd . also , they say this dvd lasts for 85 minutes . the actual numbers on my dvd player came to 125 minutes , a far cry from what was printed . maybe if this could be re - done from the vhs version they would get a better product ?\nthe pacific northwest ballet ' s nutcracker features choreography by kent stowell and sets and costumes by the late children ' s book author maurice sendak . angela sterling / pacific northwest ballet hide caption\nfeaturing sets and costumes designed by visionary author and artist maurice sendak , this big - screen adaptation of the pacific northwest ballet\u2019s long - running performance of the nutcracker is a dreamy , fantastical take on the christmas classic .\n\u201cnot one of tchaikovsky\u2019s favorites\u201d the score for the nutcracker is not only tchaikovsky\u2019s most famous work but it\u2019s one of the most famous pieces in all of western music . despite its popularity and renown , the nutcracker score was not one of tchaikovsky\u2019s favorites . for one , he was given very specific directions to its composition and for him , the strict guidelines sucked out all the fun . second , the maestro\u2019s sister died shortly before he began working on the score\u2014more than likely that had a negative effect on tchaikovsky\u2019s attitude towards the commission .\nsendak had designed three operas and one off -

' ' jack anderson ' s book ' the nutcracker ballet ' helped unravel some of the mystery , ' ' mr . sendak wrote . he learned that the 1890 ballet was not based on the hoffmann tale about a nutcracker but on a lighter version by alexandre dumas pere .\n: dreams are strangely familiar places . they are not all make -

century dress or mouse costumes fascinated by the mechanics of repeating and repeating steps and sequences for director carroll ballard .\nstowell ( right ) says sendak ( left ) needed some convincing before he signed on to design a new nutcracker . their version of the ballet debuted in 1983 . david cooper / pacific northwest ballet hide caption\nsendak , writer and illustrator of children ' s books , designs the fantastical sets and bases the story on e . t . a . hoffman ' s original fairytale ,\nthe nutcracker and the mouse king .\nthe music is still tchaikovsky . but look elsewhere for your sugarplum fairies . the themes here confront darker dreams of childhood - - the heroine clara ' s sexual awakening , the sibling rivalry between clara and her horrid little brother fritz , and the ambiguity of her relationship with her godfather herr dr . drosselmeier .\nremember : only subscribers enjoy the best seats in the house and great benefits .\n\u201c the nutcracker is ultimately a celebration \u2014 of good over evil , love over anger , hope over despair , and extravagant beauty over the mundane , \u201d columbia classical ballet artistic director radenko pavlovich offers . the ballet has a near constant presence around the midlands each holiday season , with pavlovich\u2019s company offering one of four productions slated for the area ' s major performance spaces .\nthe movie ' s director is carroll ballard , the great cinematographer whose first two films as a director were the wonderful\nthe black stallion\nand the scarcely less wonderful\nnever cry wolf .\nboth of those movies were big - scale , lyrical , brawny outdoor productions about man and nature . what attracted ballard to the fragile and cutesy - poo\nnutcracker\n? watching the film , i never got the feeling of freedom and joy he communicated so clearly in his other films .\nacross the sea , clara and the prince sail to a castle where they are welcomed by the prince ' s royal court . there , the prince and the jealous , one - eyed pasha , who strongly resembles drosselmeyer , develop a rivalry over clara . under the pasha ' s direction , the members of the court perform the famous act ii divertissements ( trepak , chinese dance , arabian dance , dance of the toy flutes , etc . ) as well as the waltz of the flowers , and clara performs the dance of the sugar plum fairy . she and the prince dance a romantic pas de deux . at the end , she and the prince , locked in each other ' s arms , are magically levitated by the pasha after bidding farewell to the court . suddenly the pasha waves his hand , and clara and her prince are separated and begin to free - fall . before they can hit the ground , the prince turns back into a nutcracker and clara ( a young girl again ) is jolted awake from what has turned out to be a dream .\n* please note : the program will be signed by someone from the artistic team . the shoe packet contains a pointe shoe used in a performance , signed by the dancer whom the shoe belongs to , as well as a bio of the dancer .\nbesides being seen as a film , sendak ` s nutcracker can also be seen in book form -

filled magical version of the nutcracker on film i ' ve been able to find . it ' s the version which always captured my imagination like none other . i think it ' s designed to put kids to sleep on christmas eve , because it has a dreamy look and feel .\nfor more than three decades , seattle ' s nutcracker has used sets and costumes designed by sendak , who died in 2012 . but now the pacific northwest ballet is retiring its one - of - a - kind production .\nthe film features choreography by kent stowell , direction by carroll ballard ( whose movies include the black stallion ) and designs by maurice sendak , the world ` s leading writer - illustrator of children ` s books ( where the wild things are , outside over there , etc . ) . considering sendak ` s unique stature in his field , one wonders why he never tackled the nutcracker years ago .\nduring the private pre - show reception , inside access guests will be offered hors d ' oeuvres , beer , wine , and holiday - inspired beverages . two ballerinas in nutcracker costumes will be available to take photos with guests .\n\u201cwe live in this computer - generated , digital world and the nutcracker comes along and it\u2019s visceral , tangible , breathing life even in the setting of a dreamscape , \u201d pavlovich says . \u201cwe see the human form at play \u2014 in sensual movement , in the freedom of flight , in the celebration of nature and in the unity of heroic love . where else can you go to see all of that on a damp , cold winter\u2019s night ? \u201d\nthat premiered in london on april 27 , 1749 . the work was composed for performance at an outdoor festival celebrating the end of the\npacific northwest ballet ' s jessika anspach says a scene from act i of sendak ' s nutcracker , in which snow falls on twirling ballerina snowflakes , made her want to be a dancer .\nwith gorgeous sets designed by the legendary maurice sendak , this version of the nutcracker ballet uses the film media very nicely . there is a surreal quality to the story which does not always come across on stage . dream sequences - - dreams within dreams - - and journeys through time and space unfold , lotus - like , as the story progresses . though there is no dialogue in the ballet , this movie employs an older clara narrating her experiences at christmas , while mentioning her complicated feelings for her godfather , herr drosselmeier ( hugh bigney ) , who cannot tear himself away from young clara ( vanessa sharp ) . this characterization of a man who seethes with jealousy when clara dances with the nutcracker brings a different dynamic to the classic christmas tale .\nsendak , as one of the few writers for children to preserve an appreciation for the dark side of fantasy , is a good match for the grotesque , often frightening e . t . a . hoffmann tale upon which the tchaikovsky score is based . structured as a dream in which a young girl finds her christmas toys come to life , the story is actually a fairly twisted family romance , involving a seductive father ( transformed into the nutcracker ) , a competitive mother\nparents need to know that this theatrical version of the nutcracker ballet hints at an attraction between clara and her godfather . a teensy bit creepy perhaps , but it serves to create some interesting tension that will go over most kids ' heads .\nwhen stowell first approached sendak in 1979 with the offer of designing pacific northwest ` s new nutcracker , sendak was completely turned off by the idea . his first response to stowell was ` ` no , how banal ! , ` ` scoring his abhorrence for ` ` the illogical , sugarplum fairy productions ` ` of the ballet he had seen all his life in new york .\n\u201cthe celesta\u201d one part of the score tchaikovsky did enjoy was his use of the celesta , an instrument he discovered during a trip to paris . the celesta is a keyboard which looks like a piano but instead of hammers striking strings , the hammer strike steel plates . the celesta was used in the \u201cdance of the sugar plum fairy , \u201d the christmas party scene , and a few other occasions in act ii .\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 .\nthere weren\u2019t as many anachronistic surprises on the soundtrack to westworld this week , but one song on the player piano was all the show needed to put the hosts\u2019 robotic fears into perspective .\nbrief excerpt from the overture of george frideric handel ' s music for the royal fireworks ; from a 1952 recording by the wind ensemble of the berlin philharmonic orchestra conducted by fritz lehmann .\nover the years , seattle ' s nutcracker has changed at least one child ' s life . it was the first ballet seattle native jessika anspach ever saw , and she says watching a scene at the end of act i \u2014 in which snow falls on top of twirling ballerina snowflakes \u2014 made her want to dance . now she ' s in her 11th year with the pacific northwest ballet .\nclara is vulnerable and strong at the same time . she is the one who kills the mouse king by throwing her magical slipper at him .\nardolino ' s unobtrusive style , meant to enhance the production , may actually diminish it . the dancing is fine , but not scintillating . ( to an untrained eye , the best turns were by kistler , jessica lynn cohen as little marie , and unheralded wendy whelan , as the sinuous harem girl coffee . ) the effect of the stark light on the stark ter - arutunian sets is to emphasize their sheer minimalism , and recall how much more interesting and delightfully elaborate the sets were in ballard ' s\nnutcracker ,\nwith maurice sendak ' s magically eerie post - freudian designs .\nkent stowell and his wife , francia russell , were the ballet ' s artistic directors back in the 1980s , when they envisioned a different kind of nutcracker production and approached sendak to help them realize it .\ni flew to new york ,\nstowell says ,\nand we sat down and started talking about it . and i said , ' well , i want to do a nutcracker . ' and [ sendak ] says , ' well , i don ' t even like ballet . '\na re - creation of the late , legendary ballet master ' s staging of tchaikovsky ' s seasonal classic , featuring balanchine ' s old troupe , the new york city ballet , with its film superstar graduate , onetime student dancer macaulay culkin , as the nutcracker prince , it ' s a film that should be a marvel , but isn ' t .\ninterestingly , the current ' ' amor brujo , ' ' despite a modernistic junk - heap setting , is closer to its source than this ' ' nutcracker , ' ' which has fairy - tale decor but also an out - to - shock revisionism that makes mincemeat of the original ballet ' s conception .\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\ntwo executives from the walt disney studios also attended the premiere , and they urged stowell and sendak to make a film of it . they suggested as director carroll ballard , whose second movie , never cry wolf , was a disney release . after a lengthy period of dickering ( should they make simply a film of the ballet or a film based on the production ? ) , ballard , his wife and 5 - year - old daughter nora went to seattle to see the nutcracker . the three - - particularly little nora - - fell in love with the show , and ballard agreed to do the movie .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 1 / 24 / 2014 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\nhere it is ! ever since pbs broadcast the pacific northwest ballet ' s\nnutcracker\nwith sets & costumes ( and some other input ) by maurice sendak , i ' d been trying to videotape it . no luck - the show was mysteriously never announced in the schedules , and if i was lucky i might catch the last 20 minutes . the cover art on this dvd gives no clue as to sendak ' s involvement ; but thanks to a helpful reviewer i ' ve at last located the elusive sendak\nnutcracker\n! the production itself : the cinematography is perfect , allowing us to enjoy close - ups as well as see the action from a theatrical distance . sendak ' s sets & costumes are amazing & whimsical , and there ' s a rather dark subtext that older viewers may catch ( nothing inappropriate for kids ; they ' ll just miss it ) ."]}

pianos appear throughout .\nfeaturing grotesque personifications of avarice that could have snuck in from a coen brothers film , this largely seems an excuse to indulge in rather simplistic visual contrasts between purity and sin . definitely not a great film , but the spectacular finale and a few inspired insert shots ( e . g . the pot boiling over ) make it worthwhile .\nthis change can be seen in miniature in the three films on the site . in the first two , released in 1933 , private norakuro begins as a bumbling , comic character . by the third film , norakuro goch\u014d ( corporal norakuro , 1934 ) , the dog is much more heroic , as he foils an enemy plot . for a less politically charged murata menagerie , try his 1928 film d\u014dbutsu orinpikku taikai ( the animal olympics ) .\nworks created before january 1 , 1978 , were until recently protected for a total of 75 years , provided , certain copyright renewal formalities were followed . the ctea amended the copyright act by extending the term of protection for works currently in their renewal term from 75 years to 95 years . under the new law , any work published in 1923 ( which would have otherwise fallen into the public domain on january 1 , 1999 ) , will now be protected until january 1 , 2019 .\non the other hand , there are the marvelous performances of the three d\u2019oyly carte actors , particularly green and granville , who were among the greatest members of the troupe during its long history . having a record of this pair in such important roles is a treasure . and constance willis , a british stage actress whose only film this was , does an excellent job as katisha , bringing in a deft humor that one seldom sees in this dour character . moreover , the postures and gestures are faithful reproductions of the d\u2019oyly carte company\u2019s approach . until the copyrights ran out on the operettas , those who wished to produce them theatrically were given copies of the scripts with all the staging details written in ; these had to be followed exactly . the same was true for both film versions of the mikado . the poses of the young ladies in \u201cthree little maids from school , \u201d with mincing gait , tilted heads , and coyly raised arms , are the same ones that all singers playing these roles would have replicated , as the vintage poster shows :\nne of the most important gifts authors and publishers have been given is the treasure trove of creative works known as the public domain ( \u0093pd\u0094 ) . when a work passes into the public domain it can be used without permission or charge because no one owns it . however , great care must be taken to determine if a work is truly in the public domain . this article addresses recent changes in the law , and provides information to help readers negotiate the sometimes daunting public domain maze .\nthe second - oldest film , urashima tar\u014d ( 1918 ) , was found at the same time as the dull sword and is the only other work on the site dated before 1924 . at just over a minute long , it dashes through the plot of the classic japanese fairy tale , often compared to \u201crip van winkle . \u201d\naccording to a 1961 copyright office study less than 15 % of all registered copyrights have been renewed . for books and other textual materials , that number jumps to more than 90 % . if you are interested in older \u0096 permission free \u0096 works published between 1923 and 1963 , you will need to investigate whether the work\u0092s copyright was renewed . in this case , you\u0092ll need to do a copyright search by contacting the\nq . : the renewed fame of the festival is understandable . after all , its last year ' s 33rd edition marked the 30th anniversary of those unforgettable and triumphant festival days in july of 1968 , immediately followed by the tragic events [ of the soviet invasion ] in august . what is the place of the festival on the contemporary international film festival map ?\nwhen the film goes into sylvia\u2019s backstory , i was glad because it allowed me to lighten the mood and introduce the young man who was sylvia\u2019s brother and the folksy character of the big - eyed tattletale [ efrem ] . there is humor there and it allowed me to work that in .\ncontrary to popular opinion , the knave of hearts does appear in the disney version , but he is reduced to a fleeting cameo at the end of the march of the cards ; also he is presented as an actual playing card , in contrast to the king and queen of hearts who in the film are presented as human , albeit grotesquely sized .\nthe fish watching the walrus that lures the oysters away look exactly the same as the fish ( albeit recolored ) that watch pinocchio search for monstro the whale in pinocchio .\nfar more famous is pabst\u2019s second film , the joyless street . with its controversial subject matter , involving women forced to prostitute themselves in various ways during the era of hyperinflation , the film was repeatedly subject to censors\u2019 cuts\u2014different cuts in different countries . in my first film course ever , in 1970 , i remember seeing what was probably the best version available in the usa at the time , but it was far from complete . at least it still retained a pretty good balance between the greta garbo and asta nielsen plotlines . later i saw what was probably the original american release print , butchered down to about an hour . the nielsen plot , where she plays a character who becomes a rich man\u2019s mistress , was all but gone , with the greta garbo plot dominating .\nin an effort to retain some of carroll ' s imaginative verses and poems , disney commissioned top songwriters to compose songs built around them for use in the film . a record number of potential songs were written for the film , based on carroll ' s verses\u2014over 30\u2014and many of them found a way into the film , if only for a few brief moments . alice in wonderland would boast the greatest number of songs included in any disney film , but because some of them last for mere seconds ( like\nhow do you do and shake hands\n,\nwe ' ll smoke the monster out\n,\n' twas brilling\n,\nthe caucus race\n, and others ) , this fact is frequently overlooked . the original song that alice was to sing in the beginning was titled\nbeyond the laughing sky\n. the song , like so many other dropped songs , was not used by the producers . however , the composition was kept and the lyrics were changed . it later became the title song for peter pan ( which was in production at the same time ) ,\nthe second star to the right\n.\ntreasure island \u2013the first adaptation of the stevenson story to be in color\u2013was released in america on july 29 , 1950 .

motives are dissected and put back together again , with r\u00f3zsa creating ingenious new variations on his material right down to the film\u2019s final reel . the general seafaring tone , as well as the brief passages of \u201cisland\u201d music ( see track 9 ) even provide a tantalizing glimpse of what a r\u00f3zsa - composed score to 1962\u2019s mutiny on the bounty ( which was scored by bronislau kaper since r\u00f3zsa was otherwise occupied with el cid ) might have sounded like .\none omitted scene from the 1939 treatment of the film occurred outside the duchess ' manor , where the fish footman is giving a message to the frog footman to take to the duchess saying that she is invited to play croquet with the queen of hearts . alice overhears this and sneaks into the kitchen of the manor , where she finds the duchess ' cook maniacally cooking and the duchess nursing her baby . the cook is spraying pepper all over the room causing the duchess and alice to sneeze and the baby to cry . after a quick conversation between alice and the duchess , the quick - tempered cook starts throwing pots and pans at the noisy baby . alice rescues the baby , but as she leaves the house the baby turns into a pig and runs away . the scene was scrapped for pacing reasons .\nfrom any facet or dimension , the hunchback of notre dame is a true classic in its own right due to its ambition , scope , scale and payoff . however , the real reason to see this film is the incomparable performance of one lon chaney .\nthe east of the west section features films made in the countries of the former socialist bloc in central and eastern europe . this year the featured nation is kazakhstan ( 14 films ) . other films include the hungarian gangster film ( g . sz\u00f3mj\u00e1s ) and chinese defence ( g\u00e1bor tompa ) and the russian films outskirts ( peter lutsyk ) and totalitarian romance ( vyacheslav ) .\nthough not an outright disaster , the film was never re - released theatrically in walt disney ' s lifetime , airing instead every so often on network television . in fact , alice in wonderland aired as the second episode of walt disney ' s disneyland tv series on abc in 1954 , in a severely edited version cut down to less than an hour . in the disney films , leonard maltin relates animator ward kimball felt the film failed because\nit suffered from too many cooks \u2013 directors . here was a case of five directors each trying to top the other guy and make his sequence the biggest and craziest in the show . this had a self - canceling effect on the final product .\nwalt disney himself felt that the film failed because alice the character had no\nheart .\nthe 34th edition of the karlovy vary international film festival will be held from july 2 - 10 1999 in karlovy vary . below are some of this year ' s highlights taken from their press release of arpil 1 , 1999 .\nbecause of a single image . even people who have never seen a lloyd film are familiar with the iconography of a bespectacled man hanging off the hands of a collapsing clock on the side of a skyscraper high above teeming city streets . it is one of the most celebrated images in cinema .\n\u2014and the genius of harold lloyd\u2014continues to dangle over all who attempt to fuse comedy and thrills in the movies . in celebration of the film\u2019s 90th anniversary , a special 2k digital version has been prepared so that this classic comedy can be enjoyed for a second century .\nalice grows a lot bigger in the movie than in the book . in the book , she fills the room she is in , while in the movie she fills the whole house .\nlast modified : friday | november 30 , 2012 @ 18 : 33 open printable version this entry was posted on thursday | november 29 , 2012 at 5 : 38 pm and is filed under directors : lubitsch , dvds , film comments , national cinemas : germany , silent film . responses are currently closed , but you can trackback from your own site .\nfor the finished film , salinger wrote a 1 : 33 cue ( \u201cdisillusion bridge\u201d ) that leads into \u201cdisillusionment , \u201d the same ( complete ) recording as heard in track 13 . the extra music covers the dialogue between mark and pris that plants the seeds of doubt in pris\u2019s mind regarding joel\u2019s motives in abandoning the pearls ;

there\u2019s never a hint of an exterior . the blocking and filming are stodgy , and kenny baker is barely adequate to his role . i\u2019m not sure this aspect of the film would win converts to the operetta .\nhal roach ( harold lloyd\u2019s producer ) placed bill strother under contract and devised a rough idea of a story involving a daredevil climb . the film was constructed around this comedy sequence and introductory material was later built around it .\ninterestingly , it was pragmatism that would ultimately get walt to make his first fully live - action feature , in the form of treasure island . following world war ii , the british government had imposed a 75 percent import tax on american films shot in britain and ordered that 45 percent of the films shown in british theaters be made in england . additionally , the french ( who agreed to a similar quota , aided largely by the american state department ) and british governments had both impounded receipts earned by american studios in those countries , as a way of making sure the currency be spent there .\nharold lloyd ( the boy ) mildred davis ( the girl ) bill strother ( the pal ) noah young ( the law ) westcott b . clarke ( the floorwalker )\nthis is the fourth disney animated classic to have the 2006 walt disney pictures logo at the end of the movie , on current releases .\nmore recently , disney live - action productions have had an interesting way of honoring the past while pushing the boundaries of imagination , with films like the pirates of the caribbean series ( based on the disney parks attraction ) , this year\u2019s the jungle book ( based on the 1967 animated classic ) , and next year\u2019s beauty and the beast ( based on the 1991 animated classic ) . and just like in walt\u2019s day there is a mixture of real - life adventures , like this year\u2019s the finest hours , futuristic fantasies like tron legacy and tomorrowland , and inspirational sports dramas like mcfarland , usa , or this fall\u2019s queen of katwe . the next disney live - action film is the breathlessly beautiful pete\u2019s dragon , itself a remake of a 1977 film that walt had originally optioned in the 1950\u2019s for a segment of his disneyland tv series . in the circular nature of this tale , the original was a live - action feature \u2026 with animated elements ."]}

makers have not been able to attract audiences after the advent of satellite television and due to the high prices of movie tickets . . .\nthere are other things too . one is that we are technically weak . no importance is given to the scripts and the quality of theatres . everyone is pointing fingers at others . i don ' t know why one man does not stand up and say he will revive marathi cinema . this situation is sad since , at one time , the marathi film industry was one of the most vibrant , most progressive , film - making units in india . if good films could be made then , why not now ?\nthere aren ' t good theatres and the many marathi - speaking people who understand hindi go to see hindi films . the south indian film industry does not face this problem .\nmost theatres are in a bad condition . i won ' t go with my child to see a marathi film . one cannot go to a rotten cinema hall . film - makers are also not interested because they want to cut corners . they don ' t want to make an effort because they feel the film , in any case , is not going to run . and direction too has shown the effects of this attitude .\nwhich has broken records for the second week running . we spent many months on the script and completed the film in just five months . my husband cinematographer deboo deodhar had everything ready . if it was a shot of the insides of mantralaya , it looked like that , a minister ' s bungalow looked like the real thing . . . we did not compromise anywhere in the making of the film . the objective was to make a good film , irrespective of whether it would do well or not .\nlacked theatres here , but it had 22 housefull shows in america . till this day , i get letters from america by people who have seen the film . people there travelled 100 kms to see the film . it was possible due to the film ' s producer , ajay shankar , who has an advertising background and the rest of the unit .\ni think it will do well in bombay because there are many maharashtrians there . what is important about\nis that any class can relate to it . politics is something that every person understands , right from a farmer to a businessman . it is a subject which every one can relate to .\nno , not at all . i was very confident from the very first day .\nfrom some places in bombay to a small village in kolhapur . i have even put in a building collapse , which has not been shot so far in marathi cinema .\nthe film ends showing that democracy still rules in our country . we conducted a poll and people felt that the chief minister ought to be arrested . that was yashwant dutt ' s last shot (\nshravani deodhar on the sets of billa no 1 . click for bigger pic !\ndoes well , other producers will step in . and when the audience gets used to good films , things will get moving . once that happens , still more producers will consider putting in their money into technically sound movies . that could draw the directors back . . . i am also trying to make a marathi film with sachin now .\ni think everyone wants to reach out to a larger audience . even south indian film - makers are moving to hindi cinema . it takes lot of energy to make a film and you feel it deserves a larger audience .\nthis day , the country renews its abiding faith in the importance of maritime zone as well as sea route for an all -

year - old fan of the game who responds to the suggestion the game may make him violent :\nthat ' s stupid , and besides i don ' t even know how to drive\n( harvey , 1977 ) . the issue is presented as somehow resolved , no longer a serious threat , even though children are still playing the offending game .\nthe advertisement featured the marquee picture from the game cabinet complete with muscle - car racing ghouls , and the first line describing the game is punctuated with tiny skull - and - crossbones graphics . the statement that the player will have to\n\ua78cget involved\ua78c in whatever way he wants\nsuggests a male audience , but more importantly , it suggests the game will provide an immersive , engrossing environment .\nthe film program is organized by christopher y . lew , mia locks , and aily nash .\nwhen exidy first began manufacturing death race , the company had not considered it as one of their more important designs . according to paul jacobs , who served as executive vice president for exidy in the 1980s , the game was\noriginally viewed by the company as nothing more than an intermediary piece with a limited run\n( brainard , 1983 ) . the game had been performing well , but had not attracted much attention and did not seem slated to become a hit when an associated press reporter based in seattle wrote a story raising questions about how child - appropriate the game was . the story captured public interest and triggered coverage in a variety of other outlets . in defending the game , exidy rarely addresses the game\ua78cs intended audience ; instead , the company seeks to minimize the games\ua78c violence and stresses that the publicity has been beneficial . jacobs repeated the belief that the publicity had been good for the company ' s image , had driven sales of the game , and had raised the image of the video game industry :\nin the book , each potter decoy carries a rucksack and a cage containing a stuffed owl . the decoys do not carry either of these in the film , and harry having his owl would serve as a give - away to the death eaters .\nthe cultural context into which exidy launched death race as an arcade upright in 1976 was shaped not only by the film that inspired the game , but also by a broader debate about media and amusement regulation and youth access in the united states . coin - op amusements had long been regarded with suspicion in the u . s . , and moral reformers had successfully influenced the regulation of film and comic books among other media . the comics code , in particular , resulted from efforts to curb the spread of materials deemed inappropriate for young readers . while u . s . video game manufacturers may have early thought of their machines as bar amusements intended for adult consumers , the appeal to and popularity among younger players fueled moral guardians anxieties around video games . arcade video games had no ratings system to indicate the intended or appropriate audience for particular machines . even the mpaa film ratings system was quite young at the time , and as roger ebert notes in his review of death race 2000 , that rating system was not entirely effective at keeping younger viewers away from adult materials . in the absence of a clear definition of appropriate audience for death race , moral guardians seem to have assumed that the game\u2019s accessibility to children meant it was intended for them .\nwhen , the british company stainless games released carmageddon , in 1997 , the public response bore striking similarities to the response to death race . carmageddon is a racing game with incorporated vehicular combat in which players gain extra time by damaging other vehicles , collecting bonuses , or striking pedestrians . like death race , the game featured vehicular violence that existed well outside established and accepted narratives of violence . in the united states , the entertainment software ratings board gave the game a rating of\nm ,\nthe board ' s second - most restrictive rating , intended to indicate that the game is suitable only for players who are at least 17 years of age . the game was censored in other countries , including the united kingdom , where censors insisted pedestrian victims\ua78c blood be changed from red to green to give credence to the claim that the victims were not human ( poole , 2000 ) . as in the case of death race , the controversy did not stifle sales and instead drove them . according to lead programmer and company co - founder patrick buckland :\nwe weren ' t known , the brand wasn ' t known \u2026 the game had to stand on its own two feet , and it might not have done that without the violence \u2013 though it did get fantastic reviews\n( the making of . . . , 2008 ) .\nin the final film in a three -

roman pantheon . he was treated as the star of the legion , the most powerful demigod of the 12th legion . he became the praetor , led the romans to victory in the titan war and is considered to be very handsome . hazel refers to him as camp jupiter ' s\ngolden boy .\nfor instance , campers do not always co - exist in peace and harmony . the camp is not run with superior efficiency . prophecies do not flow forth with great regularity . sprinkled throughout are stories from heroes who have called camp half - blood home or just passed through on their way to places unknown . chiron himself introduces the book with a brief history of training based on his millennia of experience . and , of course , there are divine words of wisdom from the god apollo himself , because . . . well , because the demigod authors would prefer not to be struck down , thank you very much .\nyears ago when annabeth , thalia , and luke were attempting to make it across the border to camp half - blood ( while being pursued by monsters ) thalia made her last stand which allowed annabeth and luke to cross over . as thalia lay dying , her father zeus transformed her into a pine tree which acted as a border between the camp and monsters . in events prior to the sea of monsters , luke poisoned the tree with venom from the elder python weakening the barriers . in order to heal the tree a quest was called for to recover the golden fleece . the fleece worked so well that it healed thalia herself bringing her back into a demigod form . the tree now serves no actual purpose except as a monument to thalia it is the fleece that keeps the barrier working .\ndamien shot to fame after la la land\u2019s critical success in 2016 . the film , which incorporates elements of comedy , drama , romance and musical numbers , stars ryan gosling and emma stone as aspiring creatives who fall in love while pursuing their dreams in los angeles .\nfigure it out yourself : when searching for camp jupiter , lupa can ' t tell him where he ' s going \u2014 he has to find and get there himself .\npercy is one of two titular\nlost heroes\nfor the first book of the second series , but he ' s back in the second , amnesiac and running from monsters . he is brought by hera / juno to the roman camp , camp jupiter , and realizes that his destiny is far beyond being the half - blood mentioned in the last great prophecy . having gone through five books ' worth of character development and combat experience on his own , percy is far more mature and dangerous in the second series . he easily befriends the rest of the seven , despite a few clashes with fellow ace jason . however , his fatal flaw from the previous series \u2014 personal loyalty \u2014 is still in play , with mars mentioning that it would greatly hinder the seven ' s quest to save the world .\nit ' s indirectly fatal . when she chose to join the hunters and leave nico at camp half - blood , zoe got the idea that she would be a good choice to groom as the next leader of the hunters , and drags her along on the quest where she dies . what ends up killing her is guilt : she feels bad for resenting nico , so she steals a souvenir for him from hephaestus ' junkyard , which activates the automaton defending it . she sacrifices herself to shut it off\njason is claimed by zeus , and leads a quest to rescue the goddess hera . along the way it ' s revealed that he ' s the younger brother to thalia grace , now leader of the hunters of artemis , and is actually the son of jupiter , zeus ' s roman aspect ( which explains the latin and the imperial gold weapon ) . and most importantly , he learns that he ' s hera ' s roman representative to the greek camp \u2014 like percy is the greek representative to the roman camp , of which jason was former praetor of .\nwith gaea finished , the combined greek and roman forces dispatch and scatter the monsters , incurring heavy casualties . nico tells percy his secret and earns himself percy ' s confusion and a high -

style lunch program , rooftop garden , teaching kitchen and science lab encourage an understanding of sustainability from seed to table . \u201d we see the children yell happily , \u201cvegetables are soul food ! \u201d\nsince he first started exhibiting work when he was 19 , lawrence weiner has been regarded as one of the key figures in establishing conceptual art . weiner came to attention in the 60s and 70s for his investigation into forms of display and distribution . he ' s known for pioneering text - based installations that have uniformly challenged traditional assumptions about the nature of the art object . weiner has also authored a number of books over his career , including green as well as blue as well as red and displacement ; he ' s also produced a number of films . solo exhibitions of his work have toured around the world in museums like the tate modern and the deutsche guggenheim in berlin .\ntran : sydney and i talked extensively about how to sell the outrageous premise of the film \u2013 two high school girls who rob trains to bail their mom out of jail . we used raising arizona as one of our influences , both tonally and visually , because the coen brothers are masters at grounding characters no matter how outlandish their situation . it was a balancing act , to be sure , but by keeping the visuals realistic , we created a world where the audience could actually believe these two girls could pull off robbing trains .\ntran : my general approach is to light the environment , as opposed to lighting faces . i like to see a character walk in and out of darkness . since we shot in very tight locations , this approach became a necessity . since i wanted to shoot 360 in many scenes , i would light through the windows and sneak a light or bounce just off camera . all our actors are gorgeous , but because of the wide range of skin tones i sometimes had to boost my fill light or create negative fill , which was tricky because of the wide lenses and framing i used for this film .\nat a time when their creators regarded horror and science fiction movies as ephemeral junk to be rushed to theaters for a quick profit and then thrown away , forrest j . ackerman loved all of those movies ; and , since other science fiction fans of his time were mostly devoted to the written literature , ackerman made the celebration of those films his special mission . his activities on their behalf took many forms : he collected science fiction film props and memorabilia that might otherwise have been discarded ; he sought out and talked to the actors , directors , and technicians who made those films , obtaining invaluable information and insights ; he launched a magazine ,\nfood justice , food deserts , lack of access to healthy food and the proliferation of fast food all play a critical role in this discussion . as one food scholar puts it , \u201cin america , there is a class - based apartheid in the food system . \u201d hurt realizes that traditions , especially those that speak to times of family togetherness and comfort , are resistant to change . instead of quitting classic soul food dishes cold turkey , some cooks in the film choose to tweak traditional recipes , like making oven - baked , skinless chicken instead of deep - fried . \u201cwe have to make it a part of popular culture . we have the power to change and if we don\u2019t , we\u2019ll be sick and die . \u201d\nin this documentary film , selected by kqed\u2019s independent lens series to air in the upcoming 2012 - 13 season , hurt uses his own family\u2019s story as a through - line , centering on his father\u2019s unflagging devotion to the artery - clogging classic dishes in the soul food repertoire . hurt recalls that growing up he wanted to be just like his \u201cpops\u201d and copied his sunday breakfast ritual of grits and eggs , smothered with cheese , salt pork and bacon . after college , hurt , ( as well as his sister and mother ) altered their diets . but , his father continued to gain weight , refusing to change his eating habits , even in the face of the pancreatic cancer that ultimately took his life at an early age .\nford has relocated the whole thriller section , set in the woodlands of maine originally , into the dusty and unforgiving badlands of west texas , saying that he needed it to be somewhere where there could be no cellphone reception ( so many great plots of the past would be stumped by a single text ! ) but it is also the region where he grew up and he has strong feelings about its rough conceptions of gender ( \u201cas a boy growing up in texas i was anything but what was considered classically masculine , and i suffered for it\u201d . ) this texas section , a film in itself , is worthy of the coen brothers at their best , its night - driving scenes reminiscent of , say , blood simple , while its rough injustice rivals that of no country for old men .\ntran : the director and i discussed each character and their story arcs \u2013 how they grow and become stronger women throughout the film . working closely with the production and costume designers was integral in achieving the right palette for every character . deidra\u2019s life is always in motion , going from taking care of family to tutoring students whilst maintaining her own status as valedictorian , so i used steadicam to navigate her through very tight , practical spaces . i credit my operator , chad persons , in helping pull off moving masters in tricky locations , as there was no stage work . laney\u2019s character , on the other hand , is always overlooked , until she eventually finds her spotlight ( literally ) . so until she discovers a true sense of herself , we framed her to become part of the background , blending her wardrobe and even her hair and skin with the set design , whenever possible .\ntran : when i found out the budget and the limitations of our train locations , my jaw dropped . we had to film on a moving train at night without any lighting , which seemed impossible . we considered drones and balloon lights , but the budget couldn\u2019t support them . after shooting some day - for - night tests , we ruled out that option as well . finally , i thought we could use headlamps and flashlights held by our actors as our key light sources to overpower any ambient moonlight i could muster . and even though we couldn\u2019t light the passing landscape , we searched for distant points of light along the train route , so we could have some frame of reference that we were actually on a moving train . for the closeups , i framed the dark night sky in the background and used a fan to simulate wind . hopefully , you can\u2019t tell what we shot practically and what we shot poor man\u2019s process !\nackerman , forrest j ( 1916\u20132008 ) . american science fiction fan and actor .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nthe complex love story of a jake , a man with aspergers syndrome and his girlfriend blair and how the two navigate their not always perfect love affair .\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nbut until that point , it\u2019s a wonderfully odd and fairly original slasher . henry thomas plays a guy with obvious problems who goes out of his way to \u201cmeet cute\u201d with a girl ( kelli garner ) and then spends the next half hour berating her and generally being a huge dick . normally this would make a movie unwatchable ( not to mention entirely implausible ) , but the script establishes that the girl has a real asshole for a boyfriend , which means she likes assholes , and is thus conceivably interested in at least talking to thomas despite his behavior . and she\u2019s just as bitter toward him , so you get all of these traditional scenes ( they meet in a laundromat , go out for thai food , etc ) but they\u2019re endlessly insulting each other in wholly loathsome ways .\nthe slasher stuff comes in from a party that she was supposed to attend . it\u2019s the usual sort of\n( where a peeping tom is offed instead of the two fornicating youths ) . but the difference is that our killer has a voice box and is sort of inept ( when a victim kicks him in the balls , he mutters \u201cah , no fair ! \u201d ) , and he\u2019s into using oddball elements such as a tree saw . he also knocks two folks in a pit , and then tosses down a rope . since they think it\u2019s just one of their friends playing a gag , they begin to climb the rope , unaware that the other end is tied to an alligator . hahahaha , awesome .\nand it\u2019s obvious that the writers know their slasher movies . in addition to the\n( this might be wishful thinking on my part ) . i also dug a pov shot from the heroine\u2019s perspective -

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

who is compassionate and interested in you as a person , that all quickly just goes away \u2014 because , look , we\u2019re all people , and we have our flaws and our good parts , and you either dwell on those things that aren\u2019t perfect , or you see beyond it . \u201d\n\u201cwe have to do what we can to break down those walls , and break down sexism ; it\u2019s a slow journey , but everyone to fight for their own identity is important . and also not to turn against each other , to support other women , and not to be manipulated by the industry to pitch against each other . \u201d\nmonogamy is an approach to relationships built on one bright - line rule : no sex with anyone else . open relationships may sound like the more unfettered choice , but the first thing nonmonogamous couples often do is draw up a list of guidelines : rules about protection , about the number of days a week set aside for dates , about how much information to share . some spouses do not want to know any details about the other spouse\u2019s extramarital sex , while for others , those stories are a thrilling side benefit of the arrangement .\nbut as with any happy marriage , there were frustrations . daniel liked sex , and not long after they were married , it became clear that elizabeth\u2019s interest in it had cooled . she thought hers was the normal response : she was raised by strict catholics , she would tell daniel , as if that explained it , and she never saw her own parents hold hands , much less kiss . it was not as if she and daniel never had sex , but when they did , daniel often felt lonely in his desire for something more \u2014 not necessarily exotic sex but sex in which both partners cared about it , and cared about each other , with one of those interests fueling the other .\ni , along with all of his siblings and his entire family , wish to loudly repudiate my son\u2019s vile , hateful and racist rhetoric and actions . we do not know specifically where he

to be focussing on your husband as a tangible reason for all your problems . men are not able to express their stresses like women and he hid behind all kinds of other interesting stuff . he probably feels that as the breadwinner , supposedly , he has let you and the family down .\n\u201cwe have a lot of heavy , weighty or dark stuff in our high - end entertainment these days , \u201d fogelman told the huffington post . \u201ci think with everything going on in the world , maybe it\u2019s a good time for a show with heart and some humor that is just about people . \u201d\nwith the cancellation of series like \u201cfriday night lights\u201d or \u201cparenthood\u201d and the \u201cgilmore girls\u201d revival release date still months away , there\u2019s a blank space in the programming slate for a show that the whole family can sit down and watch together . we hate to break it to you , but your sister is not enjoying \u201cballers . \u201d if \u201cthis is us\u201d can build upon the the emotional gratification of the pilot , it has the potential to become a series that will be remembered not for its plot twists , but for how it made us feel .\nand yet daniel still felt conflicted about how the arrangement had started and all that it asked of him . in june , he sat down and made a document he called bizarro world benefits and drawbacks . under drawbacks , the list he wrote , as if addressing elizabeth , included : \u201cyou get distracted by your other relationship \u2014 emails , texts , etc . \u2014 and that can pull you from our moments . there is a third person in our relationship who is pervasively there and not there . the theory of nonmonogamy is easier than the practice . \u201d\nmany couples often start their open marriages with the idea that insomuch as an open marriage could be normal , theirs would be . for some people that meant that they would each have unattached sex but not do anything crazy , like fall in love with outside partners . for others , it meant that the spouses would never meet each other\u2019s respective boyfriends and girlfriends , and certainly not those people\u2019s partners . but some couples told me that once they opened their marriages , unexpected things happened . it was as if one major rethinking of convention subtly rewired their brains to allow for others . antoinette patterson , 34 , and her husband , kevin , 38 , who live in philadelphia , have been open practically since they met 15 years ago . once she became a mother , she gave up on the idea that no partner of her husband\u2019s could help parent their children . \u201cby now my husband jokes that his girlfriend and i could raise our kids without him . \u201d\nnow i can only look back and admonish my selfish , younger self . when i visit friends and family back in our home town , i can ' t help but hope i ' ll bump into matthew .\nwould you pay \u00a330 for a pair of ' melting ' tights ? wacky new . . .\ni know i can ' t have matthew back , and it hurts when i hear snippets of information about his life and how content he is . fifteen years after i ended our relationship , he is happily married .\nopen marriages , i started to think , are not just for people who were more interested in sex , but also for people who were more interested in people , more willing to tolerate the inevitable unpacking conversations , the gentle making of amends , the late - night breakdowns and emotional work of recommitting to and delighting each other .\nmixed in with the fear of vulnerability that all dating entails was a sense of dread . he found it hard to believe that elizabeth would not be jealous , and he worried , if she was , who would suffer more for it .\nollowing paddy ashdown up the stairs of his kennington home (

based lawyer , karen tripp , said the current case is about the dilution of trademarks .\ndaphne has a very strong trademark in rin tin tin . her registrations are incontestable ,\ntripp said .\nbased on the true story of rin tin tin , a german shepherd rescued by an american corporal , trained to aid wounded soldiers on the battlefield , and who eventually starred in a number of motion pictures from 1920 - 1931 .\nadding insult , the dvd release came just a week or so after the 90th birthday of the original german shepherd puppy rin tin tin , who was found by a world war i gi in the rubble of a kennel in france .\nrin tin tin went on the vaudeville circuit , with other big stars , and he did find some work in talkies , including the\nlone defender\nseries , which was panned by critics , although the public still loved rinty .\nthe story of rin tin tin begins in france , during world war i . lee duncan , who is never happy unless he has a pet , finds the puppy , along with its siblings and mother , in a bombed . . .\nhe locates nikolaus egger , an expert dog handler who has been captured as a pow . initially , egger is not eager to help duncan , but they soon bond through a common desire to help rin tin tin reach his full potential .\nof the two puppies duncan kept , one was a male and the other a female . he named them rin tin tin and nanette after a pair of dolls that had been popular in france as good luck charms during world war i .\nin one of the many strange components of this story , rin - tin - tin is supposed to be a half - wolf , half - dog mix . now rin - tin - tin was a great animal actor , but to paraphrase james thurber , rin - tin - tin looks no more like a wolf than calvin coolidge looks like the mgm lion . even so , friendly prospectors feel impelled to disguise him so his \u2018wolfness\u2019 won\u2019t bother the other animals . with a logic that only exists in the canine movie world , where dogs have iqs one hundred points higher than any of the humans , they glue a false beard to his muzzle and put gloves on his feet , so that no one will recognize him .\nat the time , bert [ leonard ] was suing the producers of ' rin tin tin k -

time discovery of rin tin tin . i wanted to find out more about this phenomenon i had seen a little of , but knew almost nothing . susan orleans ' book provided more information than i had expected , and fleshed out the human stories of the people who figured they knew what rin tin tin ' s legend deserved . the intricacies of legacy , cinema , television and human - canine bonds all combine to give a fascinating view of this intriguing character - the conclusion seeming to be that there really is no end to ' rin tin tin ' . enjoyable , engaging and well researched . recommended .\nas hereford attempts to collar the breeding , kleven offers up his own version of a rin tin tin family tree of rights and is suing his former business partners and lawyers for fraud , elder financial abuse , legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty .\nevery hope and dream he had seemed to be focused on rin tin , and he felt there was something about the dog that was exceptional ,\nsaid orlean .\nbut a larger tragedy came in august 1932 . rin tin tin , at 13 years old , died unexpectedly . rumors began circulating that he had died in the arms of actress jean harlow , a neighbor , but orlean discounts that story in the book .\nthoroughly enjoyable , finding rin tin tin served a small story in a big helping . big movie production qualities showed throughout the film set in world war i . perhaps best of all , this tale brings a forgotten story to the forefront . from the time rinty was found and saved by lee duncun ( played convincingly by tyler jensen ) to where he becomes the best - loved dog ever in hollywood ( sorry , lassie ) , one is captured by his daring - do in times of peril and the warmth of his personality .\naccording to the new lawsuit , hereford ' s trademarks on the rin tin tin name include its use for live puppies , educational presentations , a mail -

tin - tin jumps and lands on the cactus . at first rinty is favoring his left foot , but in the next scene he is favoring his right . which foot was injured ? could rinty be guilty of a major continuity error ? then i realized that this \u201cfaux paw\u201d was done intentionally to see if the audience was paying attention . as usual , rin - tin - tin is way ahead of all of us .\nthe number of people who declared ' yo , rinty , ' which was the sort of signature phrase of the tv show , was heartening , said susan orlean - heartening enough to inspire her to write a whole book about the legend of rin tin tin .\nhe was probably the most profitable star warner brothers had ,\norlean said .\nevery time they got into trouble , they would release a rin tin tin film and bail themselves out . so they referred to him as ' the mortgage lifter . '\nthe book ' s publication underpins the continuing appeal of rin tin tin and , presumably , the dog character would still be a big box - office draw if a new movie were to come out . but , it ' s not certain that will ever happen .\none of the most acclaimed nonfiction books of 2011 , susan orlean\u2019s new york times bestseller rin tin tin is \u201can unforgettable book about the mutual devotion between one man and one dog\u201d ( the wall street journal ) . he believed the dog was immortal . so begins susan orlean\u2019s sweeping , powerfully moving account of rin tin tin\u2019s journey from abandoned puppy to movie star and international icon . spanning almost one hundred years of history , from the dog\u2019s improbable discovery on a battlefield in 1918 to his tumultuous rise through hollywood and beyond , rin tin tin is a love story about\nthe mutual devotion between one man and one dog\n( the wall street journal ) that is also a quintessentially american story of reinvention , a captivating exploration of our spiritual bond with animals , and a stirring meditation on mortality and immortality .\nthe carltons and riggins became officers of the company , a financial dispute arose , a legal war over rin tin incorporate commenced , and now , hereford is suing her breeders for taking possession of rin tin tin descendant dogs including\ndenali ,\ncaramello ,\nsnoopy ,\ngodiva\nand\nbabe ruth ,\nusing them in commercial promotion and advertising , and allegedly breaching contracts , fiduciary duty and trademarks as well as committing unfair competition and conversion .\nthe possible remedies are varied , tripp said .\nat the very least , there has to be a notice that these are not rin tin tin dogs but actors . her dogs are beautiful and well - trained , and she wants it clear in the marketplace ,\nthe lawyer said .\nhis incredible story is told in a new biography published just as another canine star appears on our cinema screens : uggie , the jack russell , whose antics in the silent movie the artist have captivated audiences . rin tin tin\u2019s story began on a battlefield in france on september 15 , 1918 .\nno , they ' re not saving lives or solving mysteries like rin - tin - tin . but for children lacking confidence in their reading abilities , the st . john ambulance therapy dogs are the kind of good listeners and non - judgmental audience they need to become self - sufficient wordsmiths .\na woman from crockett who says she owns the rights to the name rin tin tin is suing a movie studio that recently released a film about the famous german shepherd . she is asking the court not only for money in damages , but also that every single copy of the movie be destroyed .\nbased on the true story . corporal lee duncan , stationed in france during world war 1 , rescues a mother and her three german sheppard puppies . lee gives the mother and two puppies away , but keeps his favorite puppy , which he lovingly names rin tin tin . when the general warns that keeping a young , rambunctious dog is not permitted , duncan discovers a solution is at hand ; german nikolaus egger , rin tin tin ' s mother ' s original owner , is being held as a pow on their base . with his help , the dog soon learns amazing skills , such as bringing first aid to soldiers on the battlefield . after the war , rin tin tin returns home with duncan and goes on to star in 14 feature films from 1920 - 1931 and was considered to be one of hollywood ' s top movie stars . mpaa rating : pg for brief action / peril and mild rude humor cast : tyler jensen , ben cross and gregory gudgeon\nthe show succeeded almost immediately . orlean recounts how it became the second highest - rated program on abc , trailing only the walt disney show , and broke records for how fast it climbed the ratings charts . nine million of 30 million televisions tuned in to watch\nthe adventures of rin tin tin ,\norlean notes .\ninspired by the true origin of rin tin tin , early cinema ' s most famous dog , lee duncan ( tyler jensen ) finds\nrinty\nin the wreckage of a village in france during world war i . lee pleads with his superiors and the dog is allowed to join the american and french soldiers who live together . lee enlists the dog training expertise of a german prisoner - of - war and rin tin tin becomes a heroic , funny , and super - intelligent mascot , who plays a major part in the daily drama of the base . a special bond is formed between the dog and an orphaned french boy who is badly mistreated by the compound ' s cook .\nrin tin tin was born on a battlefield in france towards the end of ww1 . he died in 1932 , supposedly in the arms of jean harlow , the original ' blonde bombshell ' , epic in death as he was in life . in his prime , he was one of hollywood ' s the biggest stars . he received two thousand fan letters a month , had jewels , furs and a private driver , had his paw - print set for posterity on hollywood boulevard and was credited with saving warner brothers from bankruptcy - twice . his owner , lee duncan , was so completely devoted to him that when his wife sued for divorce she cited rin tin tin as co - respondent .\nstunning . . . calling rin tin tin the story of a dog is like calling moby - dick the story of a whale * boston globe * a marvellous achievement , not so much the biography of a dog as a fully realised exploration of 20th century america . . . fun , engaging , informative , passionate and authoritative , and mercifully unsentimental , rin tin tin is the very best kind of narrative non - fiction . one hundred percent pure reading bliss . - - melanie mcgrath * evening standard * fascinating . . . it is not only a story of fame , money and dogs , but also an engagingly written meditation on the things that survive us through singular obsession * sunday times *\nat one point rinty was said to be getting 50 , 000 fan letters a month . he and his mate were written about as a hollywood couple :\nmr . and mrs . rin tin staying in the bridal suite .\nthe amateurish special effects , wooden acting , and the simplistic - in - your - face messages , certainly don ' t help . the best that can be said is that the dog is lovable , the relationship between rinty and his master is heart - warming , and it ' s interesting to find out how the real rin tin tin came to america .\nfrom those humble beginnings , the dark - haired german shepherd rose to become an internationally recognized hollywood star . now , following several decades of subsiding public interest in the dog , new yorker staff writer susan orlean has written a new book ,\nrin tin tin : the life and the legend ,\nin which she chronicles the history and allure of the canine celebrity .\nthere are a number of clearly stated messages . rin tin tin enables an american soldier during world war i to bond with a german prisoner of war , emphasizing the commonality of man through concern for animals . training animals should be done with love and affection , not punishment . and finally , played throughout :\nwhen you have a good heart , you ' ll have good luck .\nwith the exception of one mean - spirited captain and a treacherous cook , the soldiers are portrayed as reliable , honest , caring , and brave . they all show concern for rin tin tin , illustrating man ' s responsibility to vulnerable animals in their care . reflecting the setting ( military compound in france ) and the time ( 1917 - 18 ) , there are no females and no characters of color .\nno swearing , but the army cook showers a young boy with insults throughout :\ncockroach ,\nlazy boy ,\nworm ,\ngood - for - nothing .\nlots of potty humor : farting on several occasions ;

human flatulence and belching ; a thief steals something but is caught ; the cook promises to feed dog but lies ; a dog urinates in man & apos ; s drink and he drinks it ; gambling at cards but a man gives back the money he wins after having help in the game by rin tin tin ; the cook is selling some of the food rations ; a woman is nipped in the rear by dog .\nhe landed rin tin tin ' s first role in an unusual way : by walking around outside the studios , knocking on doors and seeing if anyone was interested in using a trained dog in a film . orlean notes in the book that this was not as implausible as it might sound , that the movie business in the early 1920s was still\nnearly homemade\nand\nbit players were often plucked from the crowds that gathered at the studio gates ."]}

movie reviews and the best in popular culture , specializing in independent horror film entertainment .\nbefore even watching this film for review , i knew it had a built in controversy . viewers may or may not know about director victor salva\u2019s past criminal history . while i do not condone salva\u2019s criminal history in any way , shape or form , i prefer to keep his personal life separate from his film work . while i may not like the man , there\u2019s no denying his talent as a filmmaker . one of my favorite films of the 2000\u2019s was his exceptional jeepers creepers . his latest offering is dark house , but unfortunately it can\u2019t hold a candle to his 2001 hit . the film\u2019s writers seemed to be grasping at straws on what type of film they want it to be . is it a haunted house thriller , a demonic possession flick , angels vs . demons , or what ?\ndark house is a thrilling and horrifying road trip , full of twists and brutal surprises ; a suspenseful thriller about a young man and a chilling old house that has survived decades , awaiting the return of its prodigal son . . . a house that can escalate nick ' s gift to see death before it happens , but holds within its walls the origins of a dark family legacy so horrible it may have already reached out to nick ' s unborn child .\nthe house at the center of the horror film \u201c dark house \u201d is not just poorly illuminated \u2014 aren\u2019t they always ? \u2014 but also ill conceived . according to the wildly improbable screenplay , the ramshackle southern plantation home around which this tale of demonic real estate revolves was swept off its foundation 23 years ago by a flood that deposited it , intact , several miles away . we\u2019re talking brick front steps and all .\nas i said earlier , victor salva is an accomplished filmmaker . dark house is shot amazingly well and looks gorgeous . the film has potential with some creepy moments here and there but whatever tension builds up is eventually diluted by asinine character actions ( lets have sex in the woods when we\u2019re fighting for our lives with evil axmen running around ) .\nreview : i\u2019ve never been much of a victor salva fan . i enjoyed the first jeepers creepers but couldn\u2019t make my way through the sequel . his film rosewood lane was horrible but i was shocked to find his latest outing dark house to be a solidly entertaining and creepy little film . he takes a cast of relative unknowns , with the exception of genre veterans tobin bell and zack ward , then delivers a tightly wound tale with several twists , colorful characters , and an axe wielding mob of angry ghosts .\nreview : zak bagans\u2019 demon house ( a scary , unbelievable documenta . . .\nan earlier version of a headline with this review misstated the surname of the film\u2019s director . as the review correctly notes , he is victor salva , not salvo .\n\u201cthe housemaid\u201d is an elegantly eerie thriller with the grand gothic style of \u201cdark shadows\u201d before barnabas collins became the star of the show .\nthe old dark house\u2019s singularity is ( or should be ) part of its appeal . a few years ago i showed it to students at the huston school of film in galway , fulling expecting them to hate it . only one had even heard of it , never mind seen the thing , but they laughed in all the right places and seemed properly unnerved by its creepier moments . enjoy the film in full here . interestingly , having fallen into copyright hell , it is not officially owned by anybody . so , this post is legal and everything .\nthey ' ve returned . . . or perhaps the house has been following then .\nseth commands the axemen to wait for his signal to go back to the house .\nthe acting is above average ; all the principals do a good job . undoubtedly , tobin bell can do no wrong , he stands out in his role and does his best with the character , but for this film it\u2019s too little too late . there isn\u2019t an inordinate amount of gore in the film but there are a few key scenes with some interesting bloodshed .\nlilith stays with eve up on ledge with car . boys go to explore look for house .\nthe house should have been pulverized . they find the house almost totally intact . . . apparently it slammed into a huge tree , which saved it , furniture , silverware , and all .\nthe front entrance ' s double doors slowly creak open as they head near the house . they all stop in their tracks . a voice booms out of house telling them to go away .\non the other side of the frontyard come a motley crew of young cute strapping men with all sorts of weapons , gingham shirts , and dark hair .\nmichael o ' sullivan has covered the arts for the washington post since 1993 , contributing reviews and features on film , fine art , theater and other forms of entertainment to style and weekend . follow\nby the time \u201cdark house\u201d reaches its midpoint , nick has collected a pregnant girlfriend , a concerned buddy , a trio of helpful land surveyors , and the deed to that mysterious old house mentioned earlier . en route to uncovering the secrets of said house , nick and company encounter a crimp - haired tobin bell , a gaggle of ax - tossing golems , and end up in a parallel reality where all roads lead back to the mansion no matter what .\nis there a better horror film than the old dark house ? yes , there probably is . ranking films in such fashion is , of course , a mug\u2019s game . also , you might reasonably argue that james whale\u2019s extraordinary 1932 entertainment isn\u2019t really a horror movie at all . there is nothing of the supernatural about it . the picture leans towards camp mania as much as it does towards the ghost story . there\u2019s really nothing much like it in the canon .\nthe film works best during the first and third acts . the characters are introduced in an interesting fashion and we don\u2019t have to wait too long to get into the weirdness . the final act gives us a satisfying conclusion and the final twist was really imaginative . the cast is believable and it\u2019s always a pleasure to see guys like ward or bell pop up . the film is light on gore but a few moments do arise and may surprise you . the axe wielding maniacs hop along , crouched low to the ground , and hurl their axes . pretty creepy design and my favorite idea in the film .\nseth slowly walks back into the house , and after a long pause , allows nicky alone in .\nthe noise of axemen running and impending doom freezes . there are no axemen inside the house yet .\nyou might argue that , in film history , the old dark house doesn\u2019t lead anywhere . it has precedents in comic horrors such as the cat and the canary , but us spookery went somewhere less challenging after the shocks of tod browning and edward g ulmer . the wolfman and dracula ended up becoming part of a franchise family that has echoes in the current marvel universe . the coupling of sexual unpleasantness with horror wasn\u2019t much welcome in hollwood once the hays code came in .\n\u201csaw\u201d icon tobin bell enters odd danny trejo territory with his too brief appearance in \u201cdark house . \u201d despite top billing and a co - producer credit to boot , bell appears in what is still an important role , albeit one that is only onscreen for three relatively short scenes .\nthe film goes on , dredging up even more cliches about biblical , shape - shifting demons , paranormal progeny and the numerological significance of the number 23 . that number also is featured prominently in salva\u2019s \u201cjeepers creepers\u201d films .\nuh oh . . . something dark and dusty is moving in the fire place . nicky , by himself , candle in hand , walks along a hallway , tapping his foot , listening . he hears different thud . he finds himself near the tree at the corner of the house .\n\u201cdark house\u201d spins a web with so many intriguingly bizarre threads that it is almost impossible not to smile while marveling at the inventiveness of its amalgamated ideas and wondering how in the world all of these things will tie together . with so much for the imagination to chew on , it feels like \u201cdark house\u201d is leading towards something cleverer than what it ultimately delivers . so when the hump between lead - in and climax drags the momentum through a tar pit , it affords more time to recognize that most of the toys in the sandbox end up buried at the bottom , unused and unnecessary .\n\u201cdark house\u201d cruises effectively for a considerable amount of time on the strength of a strange mystery that steadily increases its intoxicating weirdness by piling on elements of haunted house suspense , angel versus demon mythology , and ax - wielding maniac mayhem . then once all of the cards have been dealt , the hand plays out as a round of flat action that tastes disappointingly stale in light of how many potent ingredients were in the mix .\ntwo other diner patrons join in the conversation . one introduces the house rumor : the house was called\nwormwood\n. it was despised by residents of the town , who were seriously spooked by it . then , more 20 years ago , a massive flood washed away the town with the house , but the house landed somewhere - - intact . the other , black haired white male diner snorts and doubts the rumor ' s authenticity while furtively keeping his eyes on his companion .\nwe find nicky on a road trip with ryo and eve on a quest to find the house from his childhood art .\nmeanwhile , surveyors and other people alike stare dumbfounded straight , realizing the creepy house is in front of them , again .\nthey all walk towards the house as eve complains about having to wait for the axemen to come back and kill them .\nthere ' s a very special man trapped in house that understands what your life was like . talk to him .\na young woman , claire , who witnessed a massacre as a child goes back to the house in which it happens as part of a troupe of actors auditioning for roles within a haunted house attraction . as both new arrivals and old cast soon begin disappearing one - by - one , claire is left wondering if the house really hunted or is there a killer amongst them .\ndark house formerly known as haunted is a mishmash of horror tropes , some of which work and some don\u2019t . there\u2019s a lot going on in the film and much to sort out . the mystery surrounding nick\u2019s father is unclear . he\u2019s an evil force that seems to live in the basement of the house yet controls his evil doers by talking to them from inside walls via heating vents in other places . then we have seth\u2019s axmen with a different agenda , maybe good \u2013 maybe evil . why are they like a hunchback chorus line slinging axes all over the place ? is this a demon vs . angel standoff ? ultimately , there are more questions than answers in the finale leaving viewers scratching their heads .\nseth ( tobin bell with long , stringy dirty hair , and a rick owens outfit ) comes out of the creepy house .\nnow all axemen pop up in formation in front of the house , barricading the entrance with their bodies . they hunch down .\neve ( on the phone ) :\n. . . never going to find the house . i destroyed the deed .\na paranormal expert discovers a house that is at the intersection of so - called\nhighways\ntransporting souls in the afterlife .\nit is a mild letdown since \u201cdark house\u201d initially appears to be creating a fresh and fun original story out of tired tropes and well - worn plot devices . after it becomes clear that the mystery merely builds to an average good battling evil theme , the movie rushes to make pieces fit and whatever doesn\u2019t is left by the wayside .\nby next sunny golden morning , eve and ryo rush back to the house , and are stunned by the carnage in the yard .\nryo goes with lilith to go back to nicky ' s abandoned car to salvage some warm clothes . it is dark , and . . . romantic ( ? ) ? ? they glance at each other , and then start kissing passionately , stripping off clothes , and having sex . they don ' t notice the axemen suddenly appear around the house .\nthe movie falls just a pinch short from being great since there are several moments which drag on for far too long . salva grabs a few ideas from past genre films and mashes them together in a film which is almost always entertaining and might just give you a few goosebumps .\nthe friends are huddled near the cellar door ( coincidentally at the end of the hallway , with front door of house at other end ) .\ni really wanted to like dark house more than i did . it had an interesting look and feel to it with potential for success , but the writing doesn\u2019t make it over the hump of mediocrity . with an ending that left more questions than answers , it ultimately falls flat and doesn\u2019t work . genre die - hards may find this worth a watch but mainstreamers probably won\u2019t .\n\u201cdark house\u201d stands flapping in the wind with asides regarding numerology , foretold prophecies , and nick\u2019s \u201cdead zone\u201d ability that kicked off the whole story ending up in effect as inessential distractions . and when the script is backed into a corner with something it doesn\u2019t know how to handle , it lobs a hail mary pass that more often than not sticks out like a throbbing red thumb .\n) , lilith ( with dark short hair , pale skin , lacey anzelc ) , and lastly , sam ( red haired pudgy guy , reminiscent of jonah hill , played by ethan s . smith ) , who they almost hit .\nlucky later appears alongside a stalled car on the road , causing chris to swerve and to crash into a tree at the bottom of the embankment . everyone then discovers that they have mysteriously returned to the old house . with sundown approaching , the group decides to spend the night in the house .\nshort synopsis : a real estate agent finds himself trapped in a haunted house with a mysterious squatter and must learn to conquer his fear to escape .\nthis film proved to me that he still has a passion for the genre and he deserves to tell that final story . he has found the perfect writing partner in charles agron . this is his first foray and it seems like the two of them really worked well with one another . you couldn\u2019t ask for a better picture from the blu - ray though it lacks special features . it does include a short behind the scenes feature which is something . dark house may not be perfect but it\u2019s far better than most dtv features as of late . this is a return to form for victor salva and i hope to see this streak continue . * * * 1 \\ 2 ( out of 5 )\nwhen nick di santo

between the comic horror we can see downstairs and something more wretched lurking upstairs . in a masterstroke of unheimlich , whale casts a woman , elspeth dudgeon , as the 102 - year old sir

the title will not be made up for by the content .

piercing , sudden loud noises to ratchet up the tension , the visually cluttered dark house - - its unimaginative title representing a slight improvement over its even more unimaginative original title , haunted - - fails to weave its numerous plot strands into a coherent whole . and while bell infuses his stringy - haired character with his characteristic creepy flair , it\u2019s not hard to imagine that the actor , who also co - produced , is merely biding his time until the saw franchise is inevitably resurrected .\nhaunted is a movie starring luke kleintank , alex mckenna , and anthony rey . when nick di santo learns that his father is not only alive but can possibly reveal the origin of his son ' s dark gift , he sets out on a trip that takes him to an abandoned mansion he thought only existed in his childhood imagination .\nthrow in some ominous biblical prophecies , a discourse on the cosmic significance of the number 23 ( a theme previously explored in the 2007 jim carrey film the number 23 ) , and some nasty twists involving several supporting characters who turn out to be not quite who they seem , and it soon becomes obvious that the screenplay co - written by salva and charles agron has bitten off far more than it can comfortably chew .\nthey stop at roadside diner , and meet a middle aged , saucy diner attender lady ( she ' s in tv series bones as marjorie , and turns out nicky also played a recurring role as an intern anthropologist in bones ! ) . nicky recognizes a large dusty gray / scale photo of the house in question in the center of a densely decorated wall . he asks the attender lady how to find the house .\nthe tree ' s branches cut into house so they can grow . this , mind you , is the tree from which people were lynched . nicky reaches out to touch the tree , and bam ! another hand from within grabs his .\nthe surveyors invite themselves into nicky ' s quest for his house , and they drive up to the approximate area , a raised road , of which both sides severely slope downwards and are densely filled with fall trees . it is a beautiful golden afternoon .\nchris , the surveyor :\nshut up guys !\nwhile eve has a mini tantrum , and refuses , with good reason ,\nthere ' s no way i ' m staying here\n. nick agrees with chris to stay in the house .\nprovided that person is destined to die in horribly violent fashion , nick has the ability to touch someone and see how s / he will meet the reaper . the origin behind his blessing / curse involves a father he never knew , an insane mother who speaks to a voice in the walls , and a dark mansion in the woods that literally fell off the map when a flood wiped out a small town .\nit turns out the house is still standing in the middle of nowhere , having been washed intact several miles into the isolated woods . the trio soon discovers the house is occupied by a grizzled , long - haired lunatic named seth ( tobin bell - saw franchise ) with unknown intentions . alarmingly , seth commands an army of axmen who shuffle crouched down side to side in unison like nightmarish gorillas . in trying to find answers about his father , nick and friends find themselves in a supernatural nightmare they might not make it out of\u2026alive .\nnaturally , the house is guarded by a menacing caretaker , seth ( bell ) , who attempts to warn them away . it isn\u2019t long before violent mayhem ensues , with the young interlopers pursued by seth\u2019s gang of ax - wielding troglodytes whose awkward gait makes them resemble escaped gorillas .\nback on the road , nick , ryan , and eve come across a trio of land surveyors named chris mcculloch , lilith , and sam . the surveyors help nick search for wormwood . while lilith waits behind with eve , the four men go into the woods to find the house .\nnick , ryan , and chris return to the women and everyone escapes in the surveyors\u2019 van . they drive back into town , but find it strangely deserted . as if in a parallel reality , lucky can see nick and the others searching for help outside the diner . lucky then tells a voice in the walls that he will lead nick back to the house .\nat one point , nick and company are run off the road by one of the \u201c deliverance \u201d -

chopping blades , naturally no one\u2019s cell phone works . except when one of the characters needs a bit of background exposition about the unfolding drama . then he is suddenly able to google a few convenient references for plot - advancing purposes , even though making a phone call is still a no - go .\neight months later \u2013 nick meets with judge maxwell bing , who appears to be communicating with someone through a grate in the wall before nick arrives . bing goes over the details of molly\u2019s will and nick learns that he inherited an old mansion . nick shows a photo of the mansion to ryan and to eve , who is now pregnant with nick\u2019s unborn child . nick tells them that it is the same house he had drawn all throughout childhood , but never knew actually existed .\nthe men meet seth , the house\u2019s mysterious resident . seth tries to warn the men away from the property while referring to sam as samael , but ultimately allows nick inside . as seth gives nick more cryptic warnings , a group of long - haired axmen in trenchcoats surround the men waiting outside . ryan calls for nick and the four men then flee through the forest with the axmen in pursuit . a thrown ax hits sam and seth then puts his own ax blade into sam\u2019s skull .\nnicky opens files and recognizes a photo of a house complete with little round window above the door , that he has been drawing for his whole life , starting from when he was a child , and through his waning dreams as an architect . he decides to find it to answer his questions . from the folder given to him by bing , he has the deed to it and he wants to visit it to find out what happened to people in it , and perhaps find a link to his unknown father .\ninformed by the family lawyer ( max gail of barney miller fame ) that he\u2019s inherited an old house in the country that he\u2019s somehow managed to be able to draw since childhood without ever actually seeing it , nick sets off with his best friend , ryan ( anthony ray perez ) , and his very pregnant girlfriend , eve ( alex mckenna ) , to investigate its whereabouts . not dissuaded by some hayseed types who inform them that it was washed away in a torrential flood years earlier , the trio soon discover it , although not without nearly running down some friendly land surveyors along the way .\nlilith reveals herself as a demon to eve , but seth arrives to kill lilith before she can harm eve or the baby . nick confronts chris and learns that chris is part of the same league of demons to which nick\u2019s father belonged , as are lucky and the townspeople . as his father\u2019s half - human and half - demon offspring , nick\u2019s destiny is to release his father\u2019s trapped soul from the house using the blood of 23 beating hearts . seth and the axmen are actually the opposing force of angels in a battle of good versus evil . the townspeople arrive and engage in a bloody fight with the axmen\nlater nicky visits the attorney mayor bing who hands him the contents of his mother\u2019s will in the form of a stack of papers wrapped in a folder . oddly , there is no other present for the reading . behind his desk , the attorney , bing tells him there ' s no one else in the room as his mother indicated in the will that only nicky alone was to see the will\u2019s contents . nicky looks at stack of papers wrapped in folder . just then , bing appears behind him and shows him the way out . as he exits out , mayor waits until nicky is out of earshot and then turns to vent and tells him nicky will find the house .\nthe central character is nick ( luke kleintank ) , who on his 23rd birthday visits his mother ( lesley - anne down ) , who\u2019s been in a mental institution since he was a child . nick\u2019s ability to foresee how a person will die is signified by his vision of her dying in a fire , a prophecy that almost immediately becomes reality when the loony bin goes up in flames .\ncast : luke kleintank , anthony rey perez , alex mckenna , lesley - anne down , tobin bell , zack ward , lacey anzelc , ethan s . smith , max gail\nabout which the less said the better , so i will merely remark that the aforementioned young man ( luke kleintank ) , his heavily pregnant girlfriend ( alex mckenna ) and a few interchangeable sidekicks head into those woods and a showdown both biblical and bonkers . voices leak from heating ducts , bodies hang from a tree , and a three - legged dog makes a pointless appearance . none of which is as unintentionally amusing as the army of ax - wielding henchmen who advance in unison in a sideways crouch , like a chorus line of cave men from a mel brooks musical .\nfor mr . salva , this is a long way down from \u201cjeepers creepers , \u201d his respectable little 2001 frightener elevated by genuinely spooky moments and some semblance of logic . here , instead of terror , we have vapid leads and supporting players who pause to have sex while surrounded by homicidal demons . sadly , the only thing audiences are likely to find horrific is the acting . or the possibility that any of these people might make another movie .\nopens on friday in manhattan and los angeles . directed by victor salva 1 hour 43 minutes\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nnew york times ( 1 ( ejournal / emagazine ) [ worldcat . org ]\nyour web browser is not enabled for javascript . some features of worldcat will not be available .\nyour list has reached the maximum number of items . please create a new list with a new name ; move some items to a new or existing list ; or delete some items .\nnote : citations are based on reference standards . however , formatting rules can vary widely between applications and fields of interest or study . the specific requirements or preferences of your reviewing publisher , classroom teacher , institution or organization should be applied .\nthe e -

writer charles agron were on their way towards tapping into classic horror inspirations for a seemingly unique spin on familiar territory . and they still manage to create a fair share of tense atmosphere and entertaining set pieces . but the final direction loses its focus before buckling under the weight of characters , concepts , and side plots that do more to weigh down the core story than they do to enhance it ."]}

worthy , but that\u0092s not what bloody bloody bible camp was aspires to . the cast succeeds at providing performances on par with the films it draws its inspiration from like sleepaway camp or cheerleader camp . working in the film\u0092s favor was the casting of reggie bannister as father richard cummings . bannister\u0092s performance was just the right amount of over - the - top and his role perfectly satirized the moronic ideals of many of the gay hating , holier - than - though fundamentalist groups . it was also mildly amusing to see ron jeremy , cast against type , as jesus .\nthe camp\u2019s been closed since the previous murders , but father richard ( bannister ) is taking a new group of kids up to the camp for some good old bible - stuff . actually , it really doesn\u2019t matter why they\u2019re going up there and the film realises this and just doesn\u2019t bother mentioning it , apart from a weirdly inserted game of \u201cbible bowl trivia\u201d which doubles as a theological discussion .\nin 1977 a group of young , horny , out of control christians are spending a fun filled weekend at the happy day bible camp . their impure antics rile up a sadistic crazy nun known as ,\nsister mary chopper\n. one by one these youthful sinners pay a bloody penance for their sinful acts . 7 years later , another group of bible totin ' christian wannabes return to the happy day bible camp . all ignore the warnings from the local folk of the grizzly murders that took place 7 years prior . is sister mary chopper dead or is she just waiting for backsliding christians to commit sins of the unholy ?\nin 1977 a group of young , horny , out of control christians are spending a fun filled weekend at the happy day bible camp . their impure antics rile up a sadistic crazy nun known as ,\nsister mary chopper\n. one by one these youthful sinners pay a bloody penance for their sinful acts . 7 years later , another group of bible totin ' christian wannabes return to the happy day bible camp . all ignore the warnings from the local folk of the grizzly murders that took place 7 years prior . is sister mary chopper dead or is she just waiting for backsliding christians to commit sins of the unholy ? . . .\nwith a name like bloody bloody bible camp you know its gonna offend everyone , push the limits on breaking taboos , and ( hopefully ) be extremely blasphemous . add to this the fact that it stars exploitation director tim sullivan ( who recently directed 2001 maniacs : field of screams ; see my review here ) and you have the formula for a crazy , fun and bizarre flick ! ! sullivan recently spoke with urltoken and this is what he had to say :\nin 1977 a group of young , horny , out of control christians are spending a fun filled weekend at the happy day bible camp . their impure antics rile up a sadistic , crazy nun known as\nsister mary chopper .\none by one these youthful sinners pay a bloody penance for their sinful acts . seven years later , another group of bible -

paced and fun ride that delivers everything a good slasher needs to . and in many parts of the film , it had a real friday the 13th feel to it . the setting , the murders , and even some of the music really paid good homage to the friday the 13th series . and this thing is full of gore . there are several murders in the first ten minutes alone ! and there is also nudity . so bloody bloody bible camp might offend many people , but if you are open minded i say give it a watch . it ' s a lot of fun , in spite of itself .\nour thoughts : unlike\ngirls gone dead\n,\nbloody bloody bible camp\nis a title that i ' ve been looking forward to from when i first heard about it . a lot of which has to do with the fact that marcus koch was in charge of the special effects but also because there are a lot of good folks from the independent / low - budget circles involved in the movie . just look at the imdb page ! go on , go look . i ' ll wait\u2026\nas we start in the year 1977 a group of christians are spending a weekend at happy day bible camp . very sleazy drug addict christians i might add . all of this sin brings about a crazy nun named sister mary chopper (\ni\u2019m definitely seeing this one\u2013you just put bible camp in the title and i relive my childhood horrors\u2013some of those folks could have been in this flick ! i love exploitation . it\u2019 s the time you can offend everyone and it\u2019s expected .\na bowling night will turn into a bloody death match for a team of teenagers , as a deranged serial killer is taking them down one by one .\na block - headed comedy horror with religious overtones , bloody bloody bible camp is as silly and cheesy as it sounds . i always find that the presence of a ron jeremy cameo guarantees that a film will be really bad , and so it proves here ; to my surprise he plays jesus in this film , which may be the most imaginative that the movie gets . otherwise it ' s an inept , troma - style trash flick , complete with cheap fx , voyeurism , lots of cheese , wooden acting , and phantasm ' s reggie bannister as a priest .\nit\u2019s all about the bible bowl trivia contest anyway , at least until sister mary chopper returns for a new round of gory violence .\n\u201cthis should satisfy its intended audience . it\u2019s an 80s slasher throwback comedy - homage to friday the 13th and sleepaway camp , with a couple of extra buckets of blood and lots of extremely inappropriate catholic - bible - sex jokes . \u201d the worldwide celluloi d massacre\nas grindhouse 80s slashers goofs go , this one ' s available on amzn prm . since it ' s the weekend ( woo - hoo ! ) , i won ' t complain about the anachronisms and over use of period identifiers , so i ' ll complain about ron jeremy . he isn ' t the killer in this ( sorry spoiler ? since he did not appear until 80 minutes mark , i wrote a bitching as in bitchin ' write up all gone to waste complain ' about it ) , is top billed and portrays jesus ( as in bible camp jesus ) and he is the worse . i ' m pretty sure gen xers are to blame about jeremy ' s continual appearance in anything , and along w / adam sandler ' s film career , hey . . . digressions are the worse so let ' s get back to bloody bloody bible camp . \u2026\nron jeremy as jesus ; a transvestite nun serial killer ; and reggie ( phantasm films ) bannister producing and starring as well ? ? sign me the f * * k on to see this one ! ! this one sounds like a lot of fun . and though i felt there were a lot of problems with sullivan\u2019s field of screams it was still one helluva fun movie . if sullivan brings half the energy and fun to his role in bloody bloody bible camp that he brought to his field of screams , well this will be one for the books ! ! sullivan then goes on to describe the plot :\ntrashy , ill - mannered comedy / slasher / homage set in 1984 at a bible camp where horny chumps are chopped up by a masked psycho dressed as a nun . poo jokes , boner gags , rubber gore , nudity , reggie bannister and no sense . fun if your drunk .\na deranged masked santa - slayer comes to town for some yuletide - terror . he leaves behind a bloody trail of mutilated bodies as he hunts his way to the front steps of the town ' s most feared and notorious home .\ni was reluctant to watch this thinking it would be just another tired thrown together b horror flick but i was very surprised to find a funny well paced camp filled , old school slasher throwback with lot ' s of personality . the characters were fun and the acting well done for this type of film , it has some of everything most of us love in an old school slasher , nudity , gory kills , although very over the top still effective for this type of movie . nothing now will ever compare to a ' real retro slasher ' but this was pretty close . i say it ' s along the same lines as ( don ' t go in the woods alone ) and ( drive in massacre ) as far as the effects . it ' s a great addition to the slasher / comedy genre . it has a lot of gay references but it ' s very gay friendly , it has flatulence explosions , cross dressing nuns and a lot more , do yourself a favor get twisted and watch bloody bloody bible camp .\nbloody bloody bible camp\ncertainly isn ' a movie to watch if you ' re looking for a genuine old - skool slasher to get skeered to , but as a movie to watch with friends for a few laughs , you can ' t go wrong . entertainment is the topic of this blasphemous fueled sermon . even when sister mary chopper shows up to kill off sexed up clergy and teenagers and reminds you that you are in fact watching a horror - ish movie , it still manages to be fun . marcus koch ' s signature shockingly detailed gory effects are in full display ( how much blood and guts poor out of an axe wound to the gut is just fucking cool ) but some how are as funny as the actual jokes . probably the comical over -

freaky cast , bloody is by far the absolute best indie horror film to come out in years . it moves quick , delivers bloody ( as the title suggest ) and even has a campground to take you back to the greatest decade of horror - 1980s ! reggie bannister is back in excellent form as the leader of this goofy pack of campers , and tim sullivan continues to entertain on the other side of the camera . and , if those two weren ' t enough , ron jeremy of adult film stardom is probably the craziest jesus ever put on film . do yourself a favor -

style ) .\nled by father cummings , many years later , a new group of horny teens are heading to the camp . this bunch of dim - witted characters are just here for the slaughter , character development is unnecessary when you\u2019re getting conversations about the size of jesus\u2019s dick . or how about characters declaring that they need their \u2018rusty starfish\u2019 licked because there is no toilet paper ? they\u2019re a classy bunch !\nin 1977 , an all - out massacre transpired there . several years later , in 1984 , a church group pays a visit to the camp , with the intent of acquiring it for god\u0092s work . given the history , they expect to pick up the property for a song . unfortunately for the church group , sister mary chopper has other plans . sister mary is up to her old tricks and she intends to make the campers pay for their sins with their lives .\nwe return with another edition of the indie spotlight , highlighting the recent independent horror news sent our way . today\u2019s feature includes first details on chainsaw sally : the animated series , release information for toxin , patrick : evil awakens , and rabid love , a trailer for one please , and much more : chainsaw sally animated series : \u201chorror\u2019s anti - heroine , chainsaw sally , to be the center of a brand new animated television series . the series will be a spinoff of the chainsaw sally show starring april monique burril and created by jimmyo burril . the burrils are directly involved with the show . \u201c chainsaw sally is lovable and brutal ; the epitome of what a vigilante should be in the horror realm . bloody bombshell entertainment and fatality films are elated to make this dream a reality in the coming months . horror fans watch out \u2013 we\u2019re determined to change the way you think about horror programming .\nnext , timmy ( the camp geek ) is killed for getting in chopper ' s way , by smashing his skull with a cinder - block , an act that betty ( a camper ) and millie witness , and they flee to a cabin . chopper approaches father cumming ' s cabin and violently slashes his face and neck with the crucifix - knife . meanwhile millie reveals her true identity , but is promptly murdered by chopper for having on - and - off lesbian tendencies . betty runs from her , and encounters a camper who had been tortured by chopper and crucified across a doorway . she helps him down in an attempt to save him , but he tells her to run and tackles chopper who had snuck up behind betty . the two struggle , but he / she pushes him off and stabs him twice , killing him , before continuing chasing betty .\ni know nothing about bible camps ( or \u201ccamps\u201d generally , sorry to any american readers ) but from this film , i gather that everyone that goes to them is horny and way older than i\u2019d have expected summer - campers to be . in 1977 , we meet a group of campers , a fairly horrible group if truth be told . the discussion about the size of god\u2019s penis was one of those moments designed early on to tell you what sort of film you\u2019re going to get , and i laughed . ugly nerdy looking men drug some beautiful women with spanish fly ; one of them is killed while he\u2019s mid - penetration with what turns out to be the girl\u2019s headless corpse , and the other is slaughtered while on the toilet . this entire thing , apart from the killings i suppose , has a real improv feel to it which i rather like , and i was sort of bummed out when the killer finished their work quite quickly and we jump forward to 1984 .\nmeanwhile , father cummings , who is revealed to have survived , has a conversation with\njesus\n( comedically played by ron jeremy ) who tells him his only hope for getting into heaven , is if he stops sister mary chopper from killing more people , a deal he agrees to . meanwhile , the mentally disabled survivor from the first murder spree comes back to the camp , realizing the campers are in danger . his two hillbilly brothers come to stop him , but j . j . is stabbed in the neck , and he falls on tad . because j . j . was morbidly obese , tad ' s ribs and stomach are smashed , killing him as well . this distracts chopper and father cummings manages to get the knife from him / her while betty watches in horror . chopper lunges at him , and he holds out the knife , which impales and kills him / her .\ni had heard alot of hype before i decided to pick up this new slasher . all positive reviews , people saying how much fun it was and how much they loved it . i mean reggie banister is in it , how could they go wrong . well , to answer that question : alot can go wrong and not much gone right .\n) . the legend of mary chopper is still talked about but nothing has happened in 7 years . is she still around ? guess you will have to find out !\nthere really is not much to say in the synopsis of this film . the story is really not very elaborate . the film was given the 70 ' s and 80 ' s feel of a true slasher . slashers usually do not have much of a storyline anyway . hey , who needs good writers to make a movie ? the truth of the matter is this is one of those movies that are so so bad that they are enjoyable . i expected so much more out of this . maybe i built it up a little too much before i finally watched it .\nthe acting was so bad . even reggie was pretty horrible . his performance was really almost laughable . i don ' t think there was meant to be anything good about the acting or the deaths or the quality of the film . i am going to say it was meant to be as corny and just downright dumb as it looked . at least that ' s what i am hoping for . i do believe that if you would take the background story away from the killer it would have been a little better . as it stands it really just made it all that much more weirder . the death scenes could have used a little sprucing up as well . there are good deaths , then their are the deaths when you raise you eyebrows and say what the fuck !\ndespite my rambling on about this movie i really did enjoy myself . because , well , i seem to like really bad movies . it does hold a certain amount of charm , and let ' s face it when reggie bannister is in a horror movie you need to see it whether its good or bad . i liked much of the humor in the movie because i went to a catholic school and was around nuns alot . not the nicest people you could meet . to see a killer nun and and alot of dirty catholic humor makes me smile a little . stay twisted everyone !\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul -

depleting substance targeted by the montreal protocol ( a global treaty to control ozone depletion ) and the u . s . clean air act . however , it is still being used in some california strawberry fields under a critical - use exemption . restrictions on the use of 1 , 3 - d to 90 , 250 pounds per 36 - square - mile township ( called the township cap ) leave few other options for growers in key strawberry production areas near densely populated areas .\nthe strawberry industry is highly dependent on soil fumigation to control pests and maintain high yields . the methyl bromide alternative , 1 , 3 - d , can be used only in certain quantities , due to air quality concerns .\nat one hour , twenty - eight minutes and fifty - eight seconds , keeping rosy isn\u2019t a particularly long film , however , its meandering middle section makes it seem much longer ; i myself found that i was checking facebook and reading the news whilst watching it , far more often than i would have liked . this is a shame because if it wasn\u2019t for such a lacklustre narrative , some truly bad writing and terrible cinematography , keeping rosy ( 2014 ) had the potential to be a fine film . all the pieces are there , but the film never takes advantage of them .\nat the height of their fame , the monkees teamed up with jack nicholson to film the psychedelic classic head \u2013 and destroy their careers in the process . so how do they feel about it now\nnbcq is a soda release strategy aiming to nurture and support young british film - making talent by taking independent films from festivals and providing an alternative distribution platform to reach audiences around the u . k .\nultimately , what\u2019s stopping keeping rosy from being subjectively \u2018good\u2019 is the chronic genre uncertainty which obviously plagued its script . through most of the film , keeping rosy is a kind of modern day hitchcock movie with an incredibly bleak london atmosphere ; at times it becomes a black comedy and at others it\u2019s a charming piece about a forty - something woman finally having a baby . yet , throughout all these genre - shifts , it still retains its bleak , london atmosphere . it\u2019s not all bad , though . i think the use of sound in this film should be held up as an example in film schools , and the understated acting style used by peake and the rest of the cast is sublime , but such glimmers of excellence cannot save a film like this , any more than a silk shirt could function as a parachute .\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nthe movie , billed as a twisted tale of sibling rivalry , sexual awakening and mind games one hot english summer , is due to unspool during this year\u2019s upcoming bfi london film festival which starts wednesday , oct . 12 .\nkeeping rosy\u2019s saving grace is its actors and actresses , who , with the exception of blake harrison in the form of blackmailing security guard roger , perform their roles very well . i was particularly captured by jen , a new mother who came into work to show off her new baby and the wife of charlotte\u2019s boyfriend , tom . in a film mostly consisting of actors playing small roles , hart managed to give her character real depth and emotional complexity , managing to introduce themes in a very short amount of time . this , combined with the relationship that she has with charlotte and tom , and the relationship that they have with each other , gave the film a blissful feeling of outside context : that this is only a small part of a much wider world , which this film desperately needed . it\u2019s the simple things that can really elevate a film , especially an independent one like keeping rosy with its relatively limited budget .\nfrom there , the film meanders through a long middle section which sees charlotte bonding with the baby and naming her rosy , breaking up with her long - time partner who is also the husband of jen ( tori hart ) , one of charlotte\u2019s former work colleagues , inviting her younger sister and niece to visit her , meeting with her relatives and realising that cctv evidence exists of her disposing of mykala\u2019s body . then , the film ends . not with a bang , but a quiet kiss against charlotte\u2019s flat\u2019s railing .\narriving with a bang on 12 september , 1966 , the monkees television show was the acceptable face of the counterculture , mixing cheerful anti -

d plus chloropicrin is needed under tif than standard films .\nblake harrison ( who i must confess i did not enjoy in this film ) needn\u2019t worry about my opinion of him , though . i feel that the problem with his psychopathic , drug - taking , blackmailing security guard lies in the script and not with me . his character became villainous so quickly that i was left wondering , at times , if mr harrison\u2019s script called for him to twirl his moustache menacingly .\njittery gillian ( anna madeley ) cycles through the kent countryside and stumbles across rymans farm , where they happen to be recruiting strawberry pickers . offered work and put up in a caravan on the farm along with a bunch of other itinerant pickers , she begins a tentative relationship with hunky scottish picker kev ( emun elliott ) , but things are soon ruined for her with the arrival of her high -

diegetic sounds to intensify suspense and keep the viewer\u2019s attention on the screen , whilst managing to use it as a storytelling device . one instance of this is near the beginning . after charlotte has murdered mykala and disposed of her body , and just after charlotte has realized that mykala\u2019s car is still in the garage downstairs , she goes downstairs to get rid of the car . the garage is quiet . charlotte gets into the car and turns the key . the car\u2019s stereo plays row row row your boat . behind her , charlotte hears crying . it dawns on her . we realise it too . she turns around and sees a crying infant in the back seat : mykala\u2019s daughter \u2013 the titular rosy !\nthe first time they saw the final cut , the band weren ' t sure what they ' d just made .\nit was probably more confusing to me than it was to the average moviegoer ,\ntork says .\nit was misunderstood by a lot of people ,\ndolenz says . in retrospect , the marketing seems suicidal . posters featured the balding head of the media theorist john brockman and the slogan :\nwhat is head all about ? only john brockman ' s shrink knows for sure !\nthe so -

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

up pops kathleen turner as the mom and the ball is rolling and what harry & lloyd have to do to get that kidney is a whole nother story . dumb and dumber to caps this comedy franchise with perfectly daft maturity . it reaches for the very bottom . or as lloyd christmas says , \u201cwow , so this is what rock - bottom feels like . hm , not that bad . . \u201d\n- like high school hijinks , and the studio brass figured the youth market would be overjoyed . they were wrong . the franchise is rarely more important than the actors . people flocked to the theaters this weekend to see jim carrey and jeff daniels . period .\ndumb and dumber to is carrey ' s biggest opening since bruce almighty ' s $ 68 million in 2003 and is a needed win for the actor after a turbulent ride . his the incredible burt wonderstone flopped in 2013 ( $ 27 . 4 million worldwide ) , and mr . popper ' s penguins underwhelmed domestically with $ 68 . 2 million in 2011 .\ni reckon four out of every five jokes played to silence at the preview screening . if dumb and dumber to were a live comedian , he ' d have said ,\nis this an audience or an oil painting ?\nhe ' d have left the stage in tears .\nby the time return to planet of the apes was produced in 1975 , the franchise had already produced 5 successful feature films , a live action tv show , and a series of comic books produced most notably by marvel comics .\nthere are so many built - in jokes in the title of dumb and dumberer : when harry met lloyd that i don ' t even know where to begin .\n' dumber ' gets nastier the second time around jim carrey and jeff daniels reprise their imbecilic roles in this mean - spirited and humorless sequel that should have never been made . check out this story on urltoken urltoken\ntwo shows would turn out to be relatively successful , with ace ventura lasting 3 seasons and the mask : the animated series producing 2 seasons . dumb and dumber : the series would be the odd film out and was cancelled after just one season of 13 episodes . it would be the last show that hanna - barbera would produce for abc as it began its partnership with disney .\nno one expected the directors of the cult hit dumb and dumber to make a sequel 20 years after the original film . according to co - director bobby farrelly , \u201c dumb and dumber to was a no - brainer . after all , it ' s implied in the title . \u201d the biggest secret to the franchise is its utter fearlessness in the face of super - dumbness . co - director peter farrelly defends the decision saying , \u201cthere were a lot of people saying , \u201cthis is the dumbing of america , this is the worst\u201d but then there were some raves [ from noted critic ] pauline kael . she said it was one of the smartest comedies\u2026\u201d bobby adds , \u201c\u2026you do like harry and lloyd - particularly women , by the way , [ as ] this is our highest - scoring movie with women by a longshot . \u201d\nthe memory can cheat . as time passes , idealisation and nostalgia can mask the truth \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether that be worshipping a movie from your childhood that would induce a cringing fit if you saw it today . yet despite a soundtrack that includes apache indian and the crash test dummies , dumb and dumber has a timeless quality . its goofy brilliance transcends any notion that it ' s a relic best left in the ' 90s alongside tamagotchis and the macarena .\nfor whatever reason , and it works out for them as often as it doesn ' t , universal has been in the habit of scooping up hollywood ' s hand - me - down franchises . to wit , as of today the eventual third dumb and dumber 3 will end up back with new line / warner bros . , thanks to the studio still having rights for a third installment ( hollywood reporter ) . but the dumb and dumber situation , where new line executives inexplicably passed on distributing a $ 40 million comedy sequel that seemed , on paper , like a pretty safe investment , is just the latest in an odd trend of universal sweeping up established franchises .\n1 ) . dumb and dumber to ( uni ) , 3 , 154 theaters / $ 14 . 2m fri . / $ 13 . 86m sat .

out audience , out - gross competitors .\nit has been 20 years since dumb and dumber - twenty years ! ! before the trailer descends on us soon for the next crazy installment dumb and dumber to , a new poster has cropped up over the internet for fans to get all excited for november this year . that trailer is reported to be shown on the jimmy fallon show tonight in the us ( lucky them ! ) , so it should be all over the internet soon after for the rest of us . as you might guess , harry and lloyd have obviously not lost their 90\u2032s fashion sense with the hair and clothes \u2013 even the van is still\u2026well , still a sheep dog ! hold on ! how did they get the van back ? in the first film lloyd sold their beloved van for a tiny scooter after they broke down to get to aspen so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how this turns out\ncrash test dummies , brad roberts and ellen reid sing with stuart cameron on guitar . may 13th 2010 at the showcase live at patriot place . brad specifically gave verbal permission to go ahead and put this on youtube thank you brad ! ! i wish you and ellen the best on your tour and new albums ! ! ! i hope you like the video . yes ! thats me that screams yeah ellen like a fool ! ! brad said they were asked to do this song and video for the movie dumb and dumber , and it was only in the movie for maybe 4 sec . but since they were paid , ( i ' ll let brad tell you how much ) , it sounded like a good idea to him .\n: sucked me right in . anyway , she left this in the terminal and flew to aspen and outta my life .\nsee the box office tab ( domestic ) and international tab ( international and worldwide ) for more cumulative box office records .\nspoiler : after the end credits , harry and lloyd are riding in the zamboni , complaining that they got the wrong milkshakes ( when in fact , they are drinking each others ' milkshakes ) . they toss them backwards for the shakes to hit the truck of their old nemesis sea bass . he follows them as a text comes up for a faux fourth installment ,\ndumb and dumber for\n, coming in the summer of 2034 , followed by a camouflaged captain lippencott walking out of the text .\nhow can you not love a movie in which jeff daniels ' harry strolls up to a young lady in a pastel blue tuxedo and remarks\nnice set of hooters you ' ve got there ,\nbefore directing her startled expression in the direction of a pair of owls ? or in which carrey ' s lloyd messes up a rehearsed romantic proposal to his dream lady and ends up saying\ni desperately wanna make love to a schoolboy\n? dumb and dumber is crammed full of crude moments concocted by the farrelly brothers , but the incredible physical performances from carrey and daniels as the gormless duo ensure that it never feels nasty .\nthe directors bobby and peter farrelly cram the movie with puns and those kinds of sight gags . almost none of them work .\nthe freshness and likeability have gone , replaced by a weariness and undeniable creepiness that the default comedy style does nothing to dispel .\nwas directed by bobby and peter farrelly , just like the original . they created the characters and understand them like no others .\njim carrey and jeff daniels reprise their imbecilic roles in this mean - spirited and humorless sequel that should have never been made .\nthe original halloween was distributed in theaters by compass , a distribution studio that debuted with the carpenter classic and otherwise has barely existed since . the rights to the franchise , to the extent that it was a franchise at all back in 1978 , ended up with famed super producer dino de laurentiis who did most of his business with universal at the time . thus halloween ii and halloween iii : season of the witch ended up with the universal logo at the front . the disappointing figures for halloween iii ( which of course told a stand - alone story sans michael myers ) led to the eventual halloween iv : the return of michael myers and halloween v : the revenge of michael myers being independently distributed by galaxy international , another small - time distribution house , the next five incarnations ( halloween : the curse of michael myers , halloween : h20 , halloween : ressurection , and the two rob zombie remakes ) , between 1995 and 2009 , went through dimension and then the weinstein company .\nits inclusion of eugene levy and the novelty of jim carrey and jeff daniels impressions give this sequel an edge on its overrated predecessor .\namazon giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz , reward your audience , and attract new followers and customers .\ndaniels and carrey give it their all , as does most of the aging cast . and there ' s something oddly brave about that . and pathetic . apparently , outrageously crassness knows no age limits .\n] tell her i ' m rich , and i ' m good looking , and i have , uh , a rapist ' s wit .\nprime members enjoy free two -

out - loud , bladder - loosening funny movies in theaters in months . given something that even hinted at hilarity , people came running . yes , it\u2019s hard to pull off a great comedy \u2014 so try harder , hollywood .\nlloyd and harry go on a road trip to find a child harry never knew he had and the responsibility neither should ever , ever be given .\nit ' s the 1980s , and it ' s the moment that lloyd christmas and harry dunne meet . the two individuals are seen by many as ' special ' , and become best friends as soon as they meet . principal collins and his lover , the lunch lady ms . heller , want to make as much money out of scams , and their next idea is to create a special needs class . ms . heller is the teacher , and they have assigned harry and lloyd to round the special students up . school news reporter jessica is suspicious though , and desperately tries to find out the truth , even if it means gaining harry and lloyd ' s help .\ni had to watch this because of my unabashed love of the original movie , but i pretty much expected a letdown after this long . while it does have its funny parts , most of the movie is just too dumb to be funny . the original movie rode that line between dumb and too dumb just right , but this one goes way over the top . the actors do not shine in this like they did in the original either . they are more like caricatures of the original characters despite being the same actors . they try way to hard instead of letting it come natural like they did the first time , which is a shame . this was by far my biggest disappointment with the film . i did get a bit of nostalgia at some parts and laughed here and there , but altogether this is a forgettable sequel that isn ' t completely awful , but not really recommendable either .\nharry and lloyd assemble a\nspecial needs\nclass , a program from which the principal and his lunch -

com plot beats in existence ) , it would look like ' a gert lush christmas ' .\nwritten by howard himself , a gert lush christmas offered the completely onoriginal narrative of a young man introducing his girlfriend to his ' eccentric ' family . this has been a well worn trope of comedy in the last few years , starting with gavin and stacey and culminating in the rather lovely and cruelly cancelled hebburn . the only thing new to the pot each time seems to be regional variation - where g + s gave us wales and essex , and hebburn was set in the eponymous north eastern town , a gert lush christmas was set in the west country , howard ' s\u2026\nwhat can we expect from a gert lush christmas ? kerry : \u201cit\u2019s very like gavin & stacey , that kind of heart -

up couple dan and lisa and how introducing her to his eccentric family leads to unexpected yet hilarious consequences . what begins as an over - enthusiasm to welcome lisa into the family ends with lisa running away and making dan regret ever introducing her to them . the dysfunctional family pull together in their own unique and crazy way to put things right .\nwe got a super -

of an amiably likable guy ( played by an amiably likable comedian ) taking his beautiful girlfriend ( played by a female cast member from ' fresh meat ' ) to visit his quirky family - is so irreconcilably similar to the infinitely superior sitcom ' hebburn ' , that it only serves to make me want to watch old episodes of ' hebburn ' again , because at least they were genuinely warm and heartfelt and -

tongued barbs at the other ' s expense . indeed , they are so obsessed with belittling each other that they never stop - not even at gunpoint . the gunman is gus , a thief on the run from the police , who kidnaps the couple as an insurance policy , planning to use their home as a hideout . but their incessant bickering proves more than gus bargained for , forcing him - for the sake of his own sanity - into the unenviable role of peacemaker . to make things even worse for gus , he discovers that he has taken the couple hostage the night of their big christmas party , and the guests are already on the way . not wanting to leave lloyd and caroline unattended , gus opts to attend the party , pretending to be the couple ' s marriage counselor . this naturally leads to a series of comic confusions , as the hostage crisis and marital tensions head towards their inevitable conclusion . movie star rating : 6 . 7 read more\nthe hour -

year - old ' s ( who usually do loads of funny things spontaneously , though have no real concept of humour ) wrote it . the jokes were immature , which isn ' t always a bad thing ; though , on this occasion , they were just unfunny ; and the\nsex\njokes were overdone and were pure drivel at it ' s worst . i would recommend you do anything before watching this garbage . even the fans of russell howard ' s ( which i class myself as ) would be better not to watch this , so their opinion of russell doesn ' t diminish . please mr howard , no more like this .\nthis film marks the second time russell and kerry howard have co -

fledged hero . billa was followed by a row of hits , namely murattu kaalai ( 1980 ) , pokkiri raja ( 1982 ) , thanikattu raja ( 1982 ) , naan mahaan alla ( 1984 ) , pudukavithai ( 1982 ) and moondru mugam ( 1983 ) .\nnallavanuku nallavan is a tamil film , directed by sp . muthuraman . the film is a remake of the 1982 superhit kannada film jeevana chakra that starred vishnuvardhan and raadhika sarathkumar in main roles .\ndirector suseendran assures that ` naan mahaan alla ' contains 100 % entertainment factors with the right mix of comedy , romance , action and sentiments . karthi had said ,\nwhen director suseendran was narrating the first half of the story i was laughing . i asked him whether i would be suitable for the role of an ordinary middle income youth . he said i will fit the role . for the first time i rehearsed for this film . i rehearsed for one week .\nthe satellite rights of the film were sold to kalaignar . the film was given a\nu / a\ncerficate by the indian censor board .\nrajinikanth has received a gamut of awards for many of his films . he bagged the filmfare best actor ( tamil ) award for nallavanuku nallavan in 1984 and for muthu in 1994 .\nthe satellite rights of the film were bagged by kalaignar tv . the film was given a\nu / a\ncerficate by the indian censor board .\n, which failed to commence due to financial problems , he decided to first direct a film featuring a known lead actor , before coming back to that film .\nwow \u2026this is the only genuine appreciation for vamsam i have read till now . that too categorically in detail . and the naan mahan alla \u2013 what a let down . wish they had made a story about the birth , rise and fall of the antagonists instead . something on the lines of naan kadaval where the all powerful hero comes to demolish them . suseendran looks more comfortable handling those guys that the happy - go - lucky hero ( not the protagonist ) part .\nstarted to work on the script for his next film . initially planning to do one titled\nhe acted in his first cameo role alongside child actor meena durairaj in the movie anbulla rajinikanth ( 1984 ) . more box - office hits dominated the 1980s with padikkathavan , thee , velaikaran , dharmathin thalaivan , mr bharath and maaveeran .\nin his 100th film , sri raghavendra ( 1985 ) , rajinikanth played the hindu saint raghavendra swami .\nfor his previous film . the soundtrack album , which was released on 16 july 2010 at sathyam cinemas ,\nhe garnered accolades for the film ' s score as well . as per suseenthiran , the music was\ncrucial\nin the second half of the film , which was the reason for opting for yuvan shankar .\nthis film will be an extension of karthi ' s image in ` paiyaa ' . according to the director suseendran karthi ' s role in this film is almost the same as senior karthik ' s role in mani ratnam ' s ` mouna raagam ' . this film will showcase another romantic side of karthi ala paiyaa , sources say .\nmr . bharath is a tamil film is directed by sp . muthuraman . the film stars rajnikant , sathyaraj , ambika , goundamani , s . v . shekhar and others . the plot is about a son ' s revenge against his father . it is a remake of the 1978 hindi film trishul which starred amitabh bachchan and sanjeev kumar .\nin this article , i join him in the debate he has rekindled . i offer a more local contextualisation of the film , looking at the political influences under which the film was made . i also present an alternative intersectional analysis of the film placing class and gender conflict as intricately intertwined , rather than as independent or conflicting . i also deliberately distance myself from comparing mannan with its remakes and inspirations , which were obviously made in a different context , studying the film on its own .\naug 29 , 2010 \u2013 walking into naan mahaan alla , i knew i couldn\u2019t hope for anything as exhilarating as vennila kabaddi kuzhu . for one , the latter was a first film \u2013 one forged by years of pent - up creative fires . the second film is almost always a letdown , if only in comparison . but more importantly , this time around , susindran , the director , has a star in karthi \u2013 and star vehicles carry their own sets of rules and requirements . the question now becomes not if you can tell a good story , but whether you can hold on to your sensibilities while simultaneously acknowledging the must - haves of the star vehicle . the temptation to sell out is strong because the market , here , recognises only stars . once you get hold of a star , financing becomes easy , distribution becomes easy , attracting other top talents becomes easy \u2013 so it\u2019s entirely understandable why a young director , especially one who might have faced humongous hurdles while making his first film , would want to settle into the air - conditioned comfort of a star vehicle .\nhe starred in the 1988 american film bloodstone , which released with much fanfare in india , but went unnoticed in the united states .\nrajinikanth ' s movies in the ' 90s included thalapathy , mannan , annamalai , uzhaippali , veera , muthu , arunachalam and padayappa . rajinikanth wrote his first screenplay and made a special appearance in the film valli ( 1993 ) . his film baashha opened in 1995 .\nthe rich dividends started with rajinikanth ' s very first film which was in tamil . he was cast in a supporting role , debuting as an abusive husband in apoorva raagangal in 1975 . the film was directed by k balachander , who rajinikanth refers to as his ' guru ' or ' mentor ' .\n( suseenthiran ' s first feature film ) starred mostly newcomers , he chose karthi for the lead role in this film as he felt that karthi has an\ninnocence in his face\nthat was needed for this role and that he could\nconvey charm , innocence and being jolly at the same time\n.\nthe second film\u2019s the real test , it appears , and one filmmaker ends up with a disappointing star showcase while another , wisely , chooses to showcase himself .\nonly three songs were used in the film in their entirety , with\noru maalai neram\nbeing left out completely . the album received favorable reviews , with\nsagalakala vallavan is a 1982 released tamil - language indian feature film directed by sp . muthuraman , starring kamal haasan , ambika , raveendran , y . g . mahendran , thengai srinivasan , silk smitha and v . k . ramasamy . the film was a sensational hit and remains as kamal haasan ' s cult entertainer of all time .\nnow that the film is taken over by dhayanidhi alagiri ' s cloud nine movies , it will leave no stone unturned to reach the masses in every nook and corner .\nand as the tamil cinema universe has little use for the heroine , priya is almost entirely written out from the second half . this is how you can separate involved writing from the indifferent . in sathya , too , the character played by kamal hassan \u2013 in a far - more believable transformation to avenging angel \u2013 takes leave of his girlfriend ( amala ) before the end , before he sets out to annihilate his nemeses . and we get to see the part where he takes leave of her . she pleads with him . he has no answers if they\u2019ll end up together . all he knows is that , at that point , he cannot think of her . he can only think about the task at hand . and , though left incomplete , there is a strange sense of completeness in this love track . naan mahaan alla has no time for such niceties . priya\u2019s father instructs that jeeva return in six months to ask for his daughter\u2019s hand , but that thread remains flapping in the wind .\ninterestingly , after seeing the entire film , he was said to have remixed and completely reworked that song , altering the orchestration inter alia , to match it with the visuals .\nrecently , rajinikanth and 2 . 0 team launched the film ' s first look in mumbai and one of the attendees was salman khan . the event host was filmmaker karan johar .\nthe following year , rajinikanth acted in his first kannada film , katha sangama , directed by puttanna kanagal . though rajinikanth considers director k balachander his mentor , it was director s p muthuraman who actually revamped rajinikanth ' s image . muthuraman next cast him in the experimental bhuvana oru kelvikkuri ( 1977 ) as a villain in the first half of the film and a protagonist in the second .\nfurthermore , he praised lead actor karthi ' s\npower packed\nperformance , citing that he\nnails the character to perfection\nand\ncarries the film to its winning point\n. similarly\nrajinikanth was next seen as a gangster opposite radhika apte in kabali . in the film he played the role of a benevolent malaysian don hoping to reunite with his family , once he learns they survived a fatal mishap .\nvijay : of course expectations play a part , but this film was underwhelming in more ways than one . the love angle , the characterisations ( except for the parents and the bad guys ) \u2014 pretty much everything was meh .\nwhile it ' s true that vijayshanti had carved a successful niche for herself in south indian cinema , and was indeed called a \u2018lady superstar\u2019 , it ' s a far cry from being on par with rajnikanth by any means . in fact , the very article that maderya quotes shows vijayshanti\u2019s remuneration as rs ; 40 lakh per film , while rajnikanth\u2019s rs ; 1 crore . to draw a parallel for present day , reports have it that actress nayantara , who is being called \u2018lady superstar\u2019 today , hiked her remuneration to rs . 3 crore for her latest telugu film . rajnikanth , on the other hand , who still remains \u2018the superstar\u2019 is said to have earned 35 crores as remuneration for his latest film , kabali .\nrajinikanth was next seen in 2014 ' s kochadaiiyaan directed by his younger daughter soundarya r ashwin . the film , which also featured deepika padukone , jackie shroff and sarath kumar , turned out to be a damp squib leaving distributors in huge losses .\na combination that made ` paiyaa ' a success , music director yuvan shankar raja and cinematographer mathi are back together in this film . songwriters are na . muthukumar , yugabharathy and francis while bhaskar sakthi has penned dialogues . rajeevan is in charge of the art department .\nalso gave a very positive verdict , stating that director suseenthiran comes up with a\nrocker of a film\nthat is\nrefreshingly fresh , innovative and packaged in a breezy manner within the commercial format\n, adding that it is\nengrossing and racy\n.\nonly three songs were used in the film in their entirety , with\noru maalai neram\nbeing left out completely . the album received favorable reviews , with\niragai pole\nin particular , sung by composer yuvan shankar raja , becoming very popular . [ 21 ] before the soundtrack release , yuvan claimed on twitter that the song was one of his favorites , on which he had worked for days . [ 22 ] interestingly , after seeing the entire film , he was said to have remixed and completely reworked that song , altering the orchestration inter alia , to match it with the visuals . [ 23 ] he garnered accolades for the film ' s score as well . as per suseenthiran , the music was\ncrucial\nin the second half of the film , which was the reason for opting for yuvan shankar . [ 12 ] according to karthi , yuvan had worked for 12 days for the score of the second half , which has\nhardly any dialogues\n, adding that he was the one\nwho narrates the story in the second half through his music\n. [ 23 ]\nnext came the 2010 blockbuster enthiran opposite aishwarya rai bachchan . the film , made at a whopping cost of rs 200 crore , collected rs 117 crore in the first seven days , even surpassing the first - week collection of bollywood ' s highest grosser dabangg ( rs 82 crore ) in 2010 .\nbehindwoods gave the movie 2 . 5 out of 5 and said\nalthough there are a few slow patches , suseendiran should be appreciated for coalescing the energy and entertainment of a mainstream film with a sensitivity of a realistic one . he has the wholesome attention of the audience in most parts .\nin parallel , the ' 80s saw the rise of j jayalalithaa in tamilnadu\u2019s electoral politics . she was propaganda secretary of the aiadmk , she was nominated to the rajya sabha , and is even known to have attempted to take over as chief minister in 1984 , when mgr - - the chief minister of the time - - was hospitalised following a stroke . even as this effort failed , she contested the 1989 elections claiming to be mgr\u2019s true heir - - by this time mgr had died and the aiadmk was broken into two factions . she became the first woman to be elected the leader of opposition in tamilnadu . soon enough , the dissenting factions of the aiadmk merged and accepted her unanimously as their leader .\nwhile working as a bus conductor , his charisma and style were noted by passengers who suggested he become an actor . a friend helped him out financially and rajinikanth joined the madras film institute in 1974 . the kannada - speaking rajinikanth also learnt to speak tamil , a move that was to pay rich dividends .\nrajinikanth is currently prepping for 2 . 0 , which is the sequel to enthiran . rajinijkanth reprises the role of dr vaseegaran who has a new nemesis , dr richard , played by akshay kumar . amy jackson and sudhanshu pandey also feature in the shankar - directed film slated to release on diwali , next year .\nas regards to expectations messing up nma\u2019s reach , classic case was singaravelan from the 90s . we couldnt just pull ourselves to appreciate kamal in a typical comedy film back then . then kamal unleashed the comedy movies with vengeance in the 2000s , meeting with better success , still none as whacky and funny as singaravelan in my opinion .\nrajinikanth also received tamil nadu state film awards in the best actor category for his roles in muthu ( 1995 ) , padayappa ( 1999 ) , chandramukhi ( 2005 ) , and sivaji ( 2007 ) . he also received numerous awards from cinema express and filmfans ' association for his on - screen performances and off - screen contributions .\nrajinikanth made his bollywood debut with andha kanoon ( 1983 ) but the film didn ' t do well at the box office . despite his bollywood debacle , he was seen in several hindi films including chaalbaaz ( 1989 ) , uttar dakshin ( 1987 ) , geraftaar ( 1985 ) and the famous hum ( 1991 ) opposite amitabh bachchan .\nreviewer bhama devi ravi , gave 3 . 5 out of 5 , claiming the film to be\nentertaining almost till the end\n, whilst addressing high praise to both suseenthiran , who according to her is\nturning out to be a treasure\n, and karthi , whose performance she described as his\nbest work yet\n.\nrecently , kumudhan maderya revived the interest in mannan by offering a retrospective textual analysis , studying the \u201curtext through the lenses of contextualisation , historicisation and concatenation . \u201d (\nhardline feminism and unfettered capitalism in the action - masala , ' mannan '\n, popmatters 31 january 2017 ) . in his essay , he dismisses the feminist critique of the film - - its portrayal of the female antagonist , the underlying misogyny and restoration of the status quo - - as \u201cdecontextualizing\u201d the film based on \u201cpopular cultural memory than through thorough textual analysis\u201d . he offers a \u201csecond - order marxist reading\u201d where he places the idiom of \u201cclass struggle as the primary animator of narrative tension , and attempts a more balanced feminist interpretation\u201d .\ndualist : i\u2019m not comparing the entire film to sathya . just that one part where the hero goes on his quest , and yet the director doesn\u2019t forget to include a farewell scene for the heroine . similarly , had i felt some similiarity between vamsam and thevr magan and so forth , i\u2019d have made a comparison . i didn\u2019t . therefore i didn\u2019t .\nhermoine granger : yeah , both the mother and the heroine were beautifully written . and i was quite surprised by how good sunaina was . i remember seeing her in an earlier film and didn\u2019t care for her at all . here , even the lip - sync was perfect . i know this is a minor thing , but that issue gets my goat always \ud83d\ude42\nrajinikanth was 31 when he married latha on february 26 , 1981 , in tirupati . the couple have two daughters . elder daughter aishwaryaa rajinikanth is married to actor dhanush and made her debut as a director with 3 . rajinikanth ' s younger daughter soundarya rajinikanth works in the film industry as a director , producer and graphic designer . she also directed kochadaiiyaan which starred her father in the lead role .\nwhile vennila kabadi kuzhu ( suseenthiran ' s first feature film ) starred mostly newcomers , he chose karthi for the lead role in this film as he felt that karthi has an\ninnocence in his face\nthat was needed for this role and that he could\nconvey charm , innocence and being jolly at the same time\n. [ 9 ] for the lead female role , kajal aggarwal , who had appeared in tamil films as pazhani , saroja and modhi vilayadu , was roped in . suseenthiran chose her after seeing her performances in the telugu films chandamama and magadheera . he felt that her\ncute expressions\nwere what he needed for that character . [ 9 ] while karthi ' s character is a middle - class bank employee , aggarwal would play an employee in a mobile phone company . [ 9 ]\nin this scene , krishna clearly has more power over her - - he has the smarts , his wit stands taller and he has the last word . in fact , as she realises that she is losing the exchange , she desperately hangs onto her position as the managing director of a company to restore her power , and fails . long before production and human capital are introduced in the film , gender lays its foundation as the reason for conflict .\nby the time mannan released , rajnikanth was already a \u2018superstar\u2019 , a bankable hero and a force to reckon with in tamil film and political milieu . in fact , j ramki in his book rajni : sapthama ? sagaapthama ? writes that rajnikanth had ruffled a few feathers in the ruling aiadmk since his mullum malarum ( 1978 ) , where he sings \u2018 raman aandaalum raavanan aadaalum enakkoru kavalai illai [ i don\u2019t care if raman rules the state or raavanan ] \u2019 .\nthe heart of the film is about the bonding of a serious father and a romantic son , laced with the criminal backdrops of chennai . karthi plays the role of jeeva , a typical middle - class chennai youngster with a devil - may - care attitude , who is drawn into the world of crime and criminals after a particular incident changes his life . jayaprakash after his superb performances in ` pasanga ' and ` naadodigal ' , plays the role of karthi ' s father .\nsoori , who also played a comedic role in vennila kabadi kuzhu was again included , while jayaprakash , who played several supporting roles and rose to fame with his performance in pasanga was chosen to play karthi ' s father . [ 12 ] as in his previous film , suseenthiran introduced several new artists , [ 12 ] such as five boys who played the villains with one of them being vinod who played the younger character of surya in nandha . [ 13 ] according to the director , he found three of them\nloitering on a popular road in the city\n, whilst cinematographer vijay milton ' s assistant ramachandran and cinematographer aruldass debuted and played pivotal roles . [ 14 ]\nto susindran\u2019s credit , he does attempt to build a rickety bridge between creativity and commerce \u2013 at least for a while . he begins his story with his villains \u2013 druggies who kidnap and kill a girl \u2013 and he takes us right into the opening credits . years of star - vehicle conditioning have taught us that the time may be right for the hero to be introduced with an evil - trouncing fight sequence , but the hero is revealed , instead , in the midst of innocuous new year celebrations , in the midst of cheer \u2013 and that\u2019s who jeeva ( karthi ) is , a youngster filled with inexhaustible reserves of cheerfulness . and then the heroine priya ( kajal agarwal ) makes an entry , and there are long stretches of meet - cute banter . and we begin to wonder if susindran is indeed going to make good on this beginning , by making a film with a big hero who\u2019s not allowed to do the things a big hero usually does .\nthe real disappointment of the film , however , is how cinematic , how unreal , it is \u2013 a far cry from the naturalistic developments of vennila kabaddi kuzhu . the love story between priya and jeeva verges on the intolerable . it\u2019s a good idea , in theory , to have long scenes of their burgeoning rapport , but the director pushes the \u201ccuteness\u201d factor so far that you begin to gag . he might take a lesson \u2013 or three \u2013 on how to stage buoyant love stories from his fellow second - time filmmaker , pandiraj , who , after pasanga , has brought out vamsam . how refreshingly , how naturally , he tells his tale . yes , there are \u201ccinematic\u201d touches like the cow \u2013 once the hero\u2019s , now the heroine\u2019s , and used as a go - between \u2013 that has been renamed from azhagi devi to asin , but the pacing and the treatment removes all trace of artifice . even the senior love track , between the hero\u2019s parents , is handled beautifully .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthat doesn\u2019t quite happen . the entire first half is a monumental exercise in hero - building , the cinematic equivalent of \u201c annan banian size 42 , \u201d that line from aboorva sagotharargal that a friend of kamal hassan\u2019s used to extol the star . jeeva , we learn , is so guileless that he plays with children every chance he gets . jeeva is so honest that he tells priya\u2019s father that he intends to marry her , never mind that they are separated by the proverbial railway tracks . jeeva is so charming that a goon hired by priya\u2019s father to make jeeva stay away becomes a pal instead . jeeva is so liked that on the first day of his new job , he\u2019s inundated by calls from well - wishers , and even his parents can\u2019t bring themselves to rebuke this wastrel son who constantly cadges them for cash . jeeva is so kindhearted that when asked to collect owed - money from the impoverished , he buys biscuits for their children instead .\ncopyright \u00a92010 the new sunday express . this article may not be reproduced in its entirety without permission . a link to this url , instead , would be appreciated .\n\u201cyou roll your eyes that this is yet another installment of cinemadurai \u2013 the seemingly endless series of rural stories where local colour and flavour are flaunted like proud badges of honour . \u201d \u2013 oh come on , this has to be one of the best things that has happened to tamil cinema , not to mention the inevitable illayaraja songs running in the background . didn\u2019t rameshram label this as rettai - jadai verite ? let there be a thousand rettai - jadais . at least we will be spared the idiocy of romancing in the alps .\nthe one thing i am waiting for is this generation ; s bhagyaraj . that special sly slightly naughty sense of pure tamil humor , there ; s got to be someone out there .\nvenkatesh : oh , i do like these films very much . the rolling - eyes comment was restricted to those films like aval peyar thamizharasi , which have colour and flavour and nothing else \u2014 the films that think that they are \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cdifferent\u201d films simply because they are not set in the city . vamsam is genuinely well written , well shot , well narrated , and it doesn\u2019t fall into that category at all .\nrangan\u2019s telling point , in contrasting second films of both directors , is that one is a showcase for a star ( nma ) while other is a director\u2019s work ( vamsam ) . in conclusion , he tilts towards pandiraj . this is an understandable canon . but i\u2019m not sure . i liked portions of vkk if anything . while i wasn\u2019t impressed by pasanga at all . and with rangan ending on this note , \u201csparkling an achievement as pasanga\u201d ( not the first time i differ , recollect his liking for subramaniyapuram ! ) , i\u2019m increasingly skeptical about vamsam . but rangan lays out his views on nma ( at one point comparing to \u2018sathya\u2019 , so by way of example shouldn\u2019t he be comparing \u201cvamsam\u201d to , let\u2019s say , \u201cthevar magan\u201d or \u201cvirumandi\u201d . i don\u2019t rate bharathiraja\u2019s films highly ) and vamsam succinctly . and where his preferences lies .\ni thought that vamsam was plain silambattam ( among relatively recent movies ) in another bottle ! talk about the tale and its telling\u2026 . .\ni also must comment on the characterization of both the female roles in vamsam - esply the heroine . the drive and the nerve ! it would have been totally sufficient to have both women dab frustrated tears on their saree pallus and loiter around in desperation for the men to take the lead , casting the wont - you - do - something - for - me looks . but kudos to the director for his depiction !\nbr : so vamsam is required viewing then \u2013 though must admit i wasn\u2019t overly impressed with pasanga , there were some genuinely good moments in there , the last 30 minutes \u2013 deux ex machina anyone , overall it was ok . what impressed me more was the confidence of the director to just go for it .\ndualist : \u201cdirector who made kalavani\u201d \u2013 i . e . sargunam . , good choice . i loved kalavani .\nvenkatesh : you know by now i don\u2019t make recommendations . if you think it\u2019s required viewing , then go ahead \ud83d\ude42\nbr : any movie that has the hero washing his clothes with pears soap can ; t be that bad . . : - ) . anything that is non - generic in that way gets my vote .\nthat and the lack of closure on the kajal front made it less complete for me ( although her blip - on - the - screen role made it less devastating ) . otherwise , this was a movie that i enjoyed watching ( except for the last 20 - 30 minutes ) mainly because i like karthi\u2019s acting ( paiyya notwithstanding ) . karthi might not be a mega star or get womenfolk to swoon like his brother does , but he knows his acting well . he uses his eyes to great effect throughout this movie . he has played the \u201cregular guy\u201d ( as well the deadbeat in earlier stints ) with intensity , edginess and mischief .\nthe triumphalism of bloodlust which has become the tamil movie mantra is a weighty topic in itself , although one is led to infer that hopelessness in institutional justice is rampant ( for the little guy ) and can drive a man to become the institution or a milquetoast to become a monster and mete out justice with nary a qualm .\ntalking abt lip - sync , i recall an old interview where anu hassan said that sometimes ppl in the industry consider it auspicious if there isnt lip - sync for a particular dialogue , especially if the dialogue was in an important part of the movie . sort of like a drishti - pottu , i guess !\nterribly sorry to nitpick - but rosa centifolia should be written this way and not with a c ( caps only for genus name ) .\nspeaking of pacing , what did you think of hot fuzz ? or any of edgar wright\u2019s work for that matter , if you ve watched them .\ni liked both films\u2026\u2026 . though i think vamsam had more big hero stuff than nma ! except for that over - blown climax fight and that very filmy i - loved - my - dad - yeeee - yeeee - like - this - you - know - yeeee - yeeee song , and that irritating no - closure love interest , it could work mainly becuase of those 4 scary boys ( would stay way from them if i see them somewhere ! ! ! ) and how he built - up the momentum before their path crossed with our hero ! vamsam was a revelation becuase of sunaina ! ! ! i didnot think before this that she could really act ! ! well , i would take these two any day , without even a blink of an eye compared to non - sense - remakes like thillalangadi ! ! ! what are they thinking ? comedy padam - a athu ? kolranunga - da saamy ! ! ! mudiyala ! ! !\nbr , maybe if you hadn\u2019t viewed nma as suseendran\u2019s sophomore effort but as just a masala vehicle for karthi\u2019s transition to urban roles would your review have been different ? just a thought . expectations have a way of skewing opinions sometimes . i remember just because thiruda thiruda happened to be made by mani ratnam and came right after roja , there was some negative press all around . if you just watch the movie regardless of that fact , for what it was , it wasn\u2019t that bad at all .\ni saw vamsam and it was what a bhagyaraj version 4 . 0 might have done to an age old feudal enmity saga \u2013 sans references / pretensions to sex ( bhagyaraj version 2 . 0 in the 80s would have hapily inserted things to dwell upon botanical ingredients to make the vamsam grow literally ) . the characterisations have never been so crisp as noted by you \u2013 very minimal exercise in establishing some one as good and someone as a bad guy . however some interesting preludes in exposing the villain\u2019s character \u2013 a guy gets thrown out of job from villain\u2019s house and what that thread enfolds ending neatly with the thread of heroine , hero and completing a logical end \u2013 almost similar to some mahabharatha stories \u2013 neatly showing how smart the scriptwriter / director is . the temptation to even insert the \u201cstory \u2013 screenplay and direction \u201d credit in a crucial scene would have completely sealed the bhagyaraj stamp on the screenplay . my issues with the movie are with the overall theme of village movies which has some gaping holes in treatment of content and honesty of portrayal \u2013 which this movie too continues to err on .\nsenthil : haven\u2019t watched any of his films , though i\u2019ve heard lots of good things about them \u2014 especially scott pilgrim .\napala : yeah , thillalangadi ! \ud83d\ude42 so many crappy tamil films get released these days , it\u2019s tough to keep track . every week , there are some 4 - 5 releases , and with so few screens to play on . i wonder how they think they can make money .\njaiganesh : re \u201cthe temptation to even insert the \u201cstory \u2013 screenplay and direction \u201d credit in a crucial scene would have completely sealed the bhagyaraj stamp on the screenplay , \u201d i had a flashback just now of the exact place where bhagyaraj put his story - screenplay - direction credit for mundhanai mudichu . at the instant thavakkalai puts a feeding bottle into his mouth , there\u2019s a freeze - frame and the credit appears \ud83d\ude42\nenough already , write a book . loads of random people are writing books these days , why cant talented ones like you write one . i read through part of picture of films i have no interest in just for your writing . if not fiction , write on indian cinema . write !\nafter seeing stills of \u201cazhagar samiyin kudhirai\u201d , one can give a \u201cmaafi\u201d to susindhran . btw what is sasi , the director of poo upto these days ?\nhow did you like polladhavan ? ? did it work for you ? ? did you write anything about it . .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\nr . parthiban | director mahendran | s . p . muthuraman | editor mohan | s . balachander anniversary\navvai shanmugi | full comedy movie | kamal hassan , meena , k . s . ravikumar | full movie hd\nspb 50 grand musical tour in toronto -

meditated physical violence on a female superior at a workplace , it equates that retaliation to \u2018manhood\u2019 and brings in the angle of honour , for good measure .\nin this decade\u2019s renewed interest in feminist critique of cinematic text , especially in tamil , mannan ( 1992 ) has a special place . against the backdrop of persistent violence against women , several writers have used mannan , among other films , to theorise the role of films in shaping public psyche . mannan is especially interesting because of the socio - political climate it was released in , the clash between superstar rajnikanth and a female villain , and the way in which the narrative tension is reconciled .\nthe extratextual star economy that maderya proposes as reinforcement of his textual analysis warrants closer scrutiny . he proposes that , \u201cin the ensemble cast of mannan , vijayashanti\u2019s reputation as \u2018lady superstar\u2019 , of course , positions her on par with tamil cinema\u2019s \u2018superstar . \u2019\u201d\nmoreover , vijayshanti and rajnikanth were \u2018superstars\u2019 in different regional cinemas , overlapping sparsely . to place vijayshanti\u2019s stardom predominantly in telugu and rajnikanth\u2019s formidable position in tamil into a bucket called \u2018south indian cinema\u2019 and to compare notes would be misguided .\nmaderya positions the parity of rajnikanth and vijayshanti\u2019s superstardom as one that \u201censures that there can be no easy resolution that would too severely damage the dignity of either character , which would upset their fans . \u201d on the contrary , if anything , vijayshanti\u2019s star economy only makes her a meaner villain for rajnikanth , the violent / cunning / dramatic defeat of whom ( albeit inevitable ) makes him a bigger star than before .\nin an earlier study of the angry young man phenomenon in tamil cinema , maderya writes that , \u201cthe first indications that tamil cinema was responding to popular political scepticism began to be registered in terms of the irreverent rajini - persona\u201d . during the ' 70s and ' 80s , rajnikanth was the quintessential angry young man , even as he swayed between playing the villain and the hero in his career .\nlater that year , she was physically attacked in the assembly , which she stormed out of , avowing that she wouldn\u2019t return until as chief minister . jayalalithaa was here to stay .\nrajnikanth , as kaalai , promptly dismisses this line of thought , and they venture on to finding the right body for kaalai to inhabit . as the god of death and his bookkeeper show him the options one by one , cho standing to his left , unravels the realities of his options and giving him sound advice .\nthis trend of underlining his political maneuvers continued until the early ' 00s . \u201c katchiyellam ippo namakkedhukku , kaalathin kaiyyil adhu irukku \u201d [ why do we need a ( political ) party now ; time will tell ] he sings in muthu , while his lover sings \u201c kaadhal therdhalil kattil sinnathil vetri petru nee vaazgha [ in the election of love , with the symbol of bed , may you win and flourish ] \u201d in padaiyappa ( 1999 ) .\nhe doesn\u2019t stop there . rajnikanth escalates the conflict between a tamil man and a modern , urban tamil woman . his films feature female antagonists more often and more fervently than other successful heroes of the time . these antagonists tend to be rich ( by inheritance ) , arrogant and dismissive of people of a lower class , rude , and authoritarian to the point of getting dissenters beaten up or murdered . often , rajnikanth not only exposes the tyranny of the antagonist and defeats her , but also takes issue with its incompatibility with her gender and tames her .\nmaapillai ( 1989 ) was among the first of highly successful rajnikanth films where an evil , rich , angry , shrew ruins the lives of commonfolk . over the next decade , he acted in several films in which he defeated and subdued female antagonists . some of them are evil mistresses or second wives - - adhisaya piravi ( 1990 ) , rajathi raja ( 1989 ) ; some evil mothers - in - law preventing his marriage to the woman he loves - - puthukavidhai ( 1982 ) , maappillai ( 1989 ) ; and yet others where the woman desires him and he rejects their advances - - mannan ( 1992 ) , padaiyappa ( 1999 ) .\n. there are pointed cues which enable the viewers identify the villain neelaampari with jayalalithaa . the most obvious one is the scene of rk going to meet neelaampari in her house . before he comes , she gets all the chairs except one on which she is seated removed , thus forcing rk to stand in her presence ( while she is seated ) . this scene is clearly a cinematized replay of phenomenon frequently observable in public functions and meetings , particularly of the admk , in which jayalalithaa ( as the chief minister ) would take part .\ngiven rajnikanth\u2019s interest in electoral politics and his gender politics , picking either class or gender as the \u201cprimary animator of narrative tension\u201d does injustice to the various ways in which the two intersect ."]}

' i love you ' , ' emantave o manasa ' and ' ku ku ku ' songs are the most impressive ones . neha dhupia song ( jumbai bai bai ) attracts the masses .\ncinematography : photography by s gopal reddy is impressive . he has chosen good locations for canning the songs .\nanalysis : it ' s a neat film that is narrated in a slow pace . the film picks up its mood after ' i love you ' ( 3rd one ) song . but in the second half , the intentions of hero are not shown to the audiences till the climax of the film , which kept the audiences guessing about whom hero loves . it ' s a minimum guarantee film that has chances to become a hit with aggressive promotion .\nhome ] [ editorial ] [ movies ] [ trade ] [ audio ] [ research ] [ celebs ] [ nostalgia ] [ usa special ] [ hyd scene ] [ amchi mumbai ] [ about us ] [ site map ] [ links ] copyright \u00a91999 idlebrain . com . all rights reserved . privacy policy email\nget notified about the latest hits and trends , so that you are always on top of the latest in music when it comes to your friends .\nthis will remove all the songs from your queue . are you sure you want to continue ?\naddsocialscripts ( ) ; settimeout ( function ( ) { colombiaui . createuielement ( ' album ' , ' related -

a weird and stuck up babu at akashvani , an over - the - top average traveler , a census officer , a chiru fan etc . - that actually make up for some hilarious scenes . tarun is a winner and makes up for his lack of height and physique merely by his turning his charm full blast . his comic timing is good , and like always , he emotes rather well . his dig at naidugaru in a janmbhoomi -

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

made film , even considering the fact it\u2019s a national lampoon production that was made for tv .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nunsurprisingly the film is nowhere near as good as the vacation movies , though to its credit it has a few more laughs than class reunion ( which is however much better made ) . the film\u2019s two recurring gags , one which has a dog named yoko coming up from behind to lick judge reinhold\u2019s balls while a background singer croons \u201cyo - ko ! \u201d and the other having an old dude farting loudly , should give you an idea of the picture\u2019s sense of humor . yes , it\u2019s that bad and both happen at least five or six times throughout the movie .\nveteran comedy writer / director neal israel ' s tasteless turkey of a made -

shaven , woody is almost preternaturally hirsute . where walter white is a genius , woody is dim - witted almost to the point of being mentally challenged . where walter white is a control freak , woody is a shambling mess . most importantly , where walter white was a brilliant character and performance in a television show people adore , woody is a terrible character and performance in a movie that\u2019s an abomination even by late - period national lampoon standards .\n[ a ] s crass and disgusting as a movie can get and still be aired on basic cable . . .\nyep , that\u2019s right . before he shaved his head to play a glowering psychotic the world fell in love with , and became one of our most beloved , respected and acclaimed thespians , bryan cranston thoroughly embarrassed himself as a misbegotten cross between cousin eddie , woody harrelson in full - on hippie dippy stoner moon child mode ( cranston\u2019s character is even named woody , for christ\u2019s sake ) , and harry and lloyd from dumb & dumber . in white , cranston created one of pop culture\u2019s true originals , but cranston\u2019s spaced - out goofball is as shamelessly derivative in conception and execution as everything else in the movie .\nwhen the doctor and his family show up at woody\u2019s house they are mortified to discover that their cousin is a shaggy - haired , muttonchops - sporting space cadet hippie caricature with an unfortunate predilection for invading people\u2019s personal spaces , often while unclothed . like all good proper americans , mitch and his uptight wife understandably see sex as something gross and sick and wrong , that should be done privately , and shamefully , and only for the purpose of procreation .\nin a cynical attempt to be something more than bottom - feeding schlock , holiday reunion forces unconvincing epiphanies and redemptive emotional arcs on its lead characters . the doctor learns to be less uptight and more sexual ( leading to a film - closing bestiality gag that sadly ends the movie on an characteristically gross note ) while woody learns to stand up and be a hero and be the man his family needs and other assorted crap .\nthis made - for - tv mess seems to be cast by the\nwho ' s got a mortgage payment due\nagency .\n\u201ci want to tell the truth . that\u2019s where my storytelling comes from . my feminism comes from somewhere else : acute dissatisfaction . \u201d\ni thought it was going to be funny with the previews on tbs , but when i saw the real thing , it was pathetic . somehow the film was serious than actually funny . its about a depressed man for which his family doesn ' t give a damn about him . bryan cranston plays the long lost cousin of judge reinhold for which he is a putz on the nervous breakdown and wants a real relationship with his family . bryan was the reason i watched this movie .\nall mitch snider wants for his family is a traditional holiday feast with the relatives . the problem is that he doesn ' t have any . that is until he gets an invitation in the mail from his . . . see full summary \u00bb\non this week\u2019s good one podcast , vanessa bayer tells the full story of her most beloved character , from her own bat mitzvah to her final snl .\ni rented this movie ( thankfully , a free rental ) because i love hallie todd as an actress . she ' s the only saving grace in the movie .\nbeing poor , uneducated hillbilly - stoner - hippie - rednecks , however , woody and his equally spacey wife pauline ( penelope anne miller ) flaunt their sexuality in ways guaranteed to horrify both the squares in their family and the squares in the audience . woody and pauline think nothing of making out hardcore for a seeming eternity in front of their cousins , or ambiguously trying to rope them into a semi -

velvet pouch and taking out a heart - shaped red - foil - wrapped sweet , and her brain melted down like chocolate left out in the sun .\nour family\u2019s first mountain camping trip was an experience in turning frustration into laughter . as the chill of night filled our tent , we put on every sweater and coat we brought , then stuffed ourselves into sleeping bags and snuggled close for warmth . we could hear other families readying their tents for the cold night . finally all was quiet at the campground . from the silence of our little group came a frustrated four - year - old cry , \u201cmommy , i can\u2019t turn over . \u201d giggles from other tents echoed around and we all felt warmer .\nthis instalment picks up where we left off in behold a pale rider , with lucas hood and ana / carrie hopewell enjoying their moment of blissful happiness . this isn\u2019t just so banshee can squeeze in another sex scene between its two leads but rather to reinforce the pinnacle that it represents for the characters , and to contrast with what is coming for them , because no sooner is ana pulling her clothes back on than the descent begins .\nfinale \u2014 the chorus that concludes buttercup ' s section is cut , thus giving a segue straight from buttercup into sir joseph ' s section . the opera ends with just three chords ( which i do not believe were written by sullivan ) after the final ' englishman ' chorus .\ni knew when i bought this book that author alan dean foster would do his usual superb job of turning , in this case , a godawful script into a pretty good novel . j . j abrams recycles the wrath of khan and though he promised it would be different , it wasn ' t . way too many scenes were used and abused and one case one scenario was different but the same . lest one thing i ' m just a disgruntled trek fan , i will say i liked the first film in spite of the problems it had . i ' ve been a fan from the very beginning ( i saw the first broadcast run of episode the man trap ) . into darkness had too much khan , too much of the same from the first film , but mr . foster ' s novel turns a lot of that into something coherent .\n. cue the thunder and rain that will accompany my ocean of tears that aim to drown me in anguish . yes , it was that depressing . just as i was gushing and blushing over the most adorable liam / ruby scene ever where they are imagining a world where they ride off into the sunset together\nthe common japanese fan , elementary in form , was a moving influence in the awakening breeze of modern ' ' renaissance ,\nthat under the various guises of \u00e6 stheticism first developed the\nart craze\nduring the 1860s . by what happy circumstance the lovely fans of japan were first whirled into the artistic move we do not pretend to say ,\nbut it is certain that their advent was welcomed with as wild a show of enthusiasm as the intense disciples of the new culte ever permitted themselves to indulge in . at first they began modestly to adorn and brighten a few super - select but hitherto dingy studios . not as fans proper , or even as fire - screens\u2014 as by many they were inaptly termed\u2014 but as notes of color , harmonizing elements of tone , and points of\nsweetness and light .\nno . 16 \u2014\nnever mind the why and wherefore .\nthe introduction into the 2nd and 3rd verses is cut from bars 3 to 6 inclusive . also only the last 8 and a half bars of the play out are used because the first 8 or so bars of this play out are cut .\nas uhura stepped back , spock knelt and opened a clamshell metallic case . in addition to the brace of simple unifying electronics that turned the contents of the container from an assortment of seemingly unrelated materials and components into a device of uncommon power and unusual purpose , it was first and foremost a basic but well - made timing unit . after entering final critical information into it , he watched and waited a moment longer to ensure himself that the apparatus had been properly activated . only when he was certain of this did he stand , maintaining his balance as , despite its stabilizers , the shuttle was rocked by increasingly violent atmospheric forces .\nnot only when it comes to finding his parents , but how he took chub , zu , and ruby in like with an open mind and heart and cared for them like family . his loyalty to them is strong and pure , and that , my friends , already hooks a hook deep into the heart by itself .\nin a private paper written in his sixties , eliot confessed :\ni came to persuade myself that i was in love with vivienne simply because i wanted to burn my boats and commit myself to staying in england . and she persuaded herself ( also under the influence of [ ezra ] pound ) that she would save the poet by keeping him in england . to her , the marriage brought no happiness . to me , it brought the state of mind out of which came the waste land . \u201d\ncbs paid the full one hundred dollars for the next radio play i wrote , and thanks to bill robson , i was launched . offers came amazingly fast from weekly dramatic radio shows like lux radio theater . commercial pulp , all of it . there i was , at the outset , faced with the art vs . commerce dilemma . except it wasn & apos ; t a dilemma . i was too flattered that i was wanted , too thrilled at being paid for being happy . writing plays was happiness .\nfrench gastronome brillat - savarin once noted that\nthe discovery of a new dish confers more happiness on humanity than the discovery of a new star .\nworks for me . . . and recently , too ! after a few days spent on the enchanting caribbean island of cura\u00e7ao last week , i discovered keshi yena , cura\u00e7aoan stuffed cheese , a local main - course dish that is a star , makes me profoundly happy - - and , at the same time , functions as a guide to the turbulent history of this fascinating country .\n\u201ci believe mr . scott is correct , sir . \u201d sulu spoke without looking up from his instrumentation . \u201cif we were to be caught in a sufficiently violent eruption , i don\u2019t think i could maintain altitude . especially taking into account how close we would be to the surface . there would be essentially no room in which to attempt emergency maneuvering . \u201d\nkirk was first into the transporter room , with mccoy close behind . reflecting his excitement , the doctor was breathing hard . he had been forced to do entirely too much running this morning . halting near the entrance to the transporter room , he rested one hand on the doorway as members of one of the ship\u2019s relief and rescue teams rushed past him .\nthe earliest representation of the folding fan\u2014the fan proper\u2014is found in the hands of the japanese god of happiness . between 900 and 960 it was adopted in china , and brought from that country to portugal during the fifteenth century . during the sixteenth century it appears to have been in general use in portugal , spain , and italy , from which it found its way to france with the italian perfumers , who went there in the train of catherine de medicis . in england fans were an adornment of female dress in henry viii ' s reign . queen elizabeth\naddressing some of the common criticisms directed against \u201cthe waste land\u201d at the time , gilbert seldes stated ,\nit seems at first sight remarkably disconnected and confused . . . [ however ] a closer view of the poem does more than illuminate the difficulties ; it reveals the hidden form of the work , [ and ] indicates how each thing falls into place . \u201d\nthe branches and tendrils of the surrounding forest whipped at him ; every second they slowed him , allowing the furious nibirans to draw that much closer . a foraging mother and child gazed up at him with wide eyes as he bolted past . sitting on a red branch , a creature that resembled a yellow anemone drew tentacles back into its sack - like body as he sped by . he didn\u2019t know if it was plant , animal , or a combination of both , and at the moment he didn\u2019t care . down a slope blanketed in red foliage , across a stream , and into a small clearing he raced\u2014where , startled by his sudden emergence from the thick undergrowth , a massive fanged quadruped reared directly and unexpectedly in front of him .\nregarding his method of playwriting , eliot explained , \u201cif i set out to write a play , i start by an act of choice . i settle upon a particular emotional situation , out of which characters and a plot will emerge . and then lines of poetry may come into being : not from the original impulse but from a secondary stimulation of the unconscious mind . \u201d\nas if lucas hood didn\u2019t have enough problems , that annoying fbi agent is still hanging around and is now launching a full investigation into what\u2019s going on in banshee . that might not be the wisest of moves , we\u2019ve seen what happens to folk who get in the way in this town , but it\u2019s a storyline that looks like it\u2019s going to make hood sweat a bit .\nthe greatest threat to the survival of humankind is not co2 , ch4 , ww3 , the nwo or economic collapse - our rapidly evaporating oceans are causing record - breaking rainfall to inundate cities , towns , crop fields and millions of lives due to abnormally warm ocean waters resulting from massive heat from underwater volcanoes . ice shelves are breaking apart at record speed which means the mexico - sized chunks of ice are sliding into the sea - massive displacement of sea water will soon launch colossal tsunami waves that will decimate our world . this isn ' t speculation - it ' s history repeating . the captains ' logs going back hundreds of years tell us what we can expect - dozens of historic documents echo the same story in over a dozen languages . links are on my discussion page . those who want to survive have already re - located . for the best of all possible worlds , choose health , happiness , truth , peace , justice , beauty , helpfulness and compassionate loving kindness .\nlast , but far from least , is the gouverneur - - a restaurant institution in downtown otrabanda , with great views of the bay , and a much more historic feel than nearby restaurant la bahia . but the chef here is not having history in his keshi yena ( $ 18 ) : he has abandoned the orb , turned the chicken into big , juicy chunks . and substituted prunes for raisins .\naround the rocky pinnacle where spock had prepared to meet his demise , the lava solidified . racing down into the depths , the reaction continued to work its magic . the throat of the volcano turned to solid basalt while the vast magma chamber below ceased to boil . its energy stilled , its anger calmed , the violent eruption that had been building within the supervolcano was aborted . still farther below , the three continental plates that had been on the verge of shifting catastrophically continued to grind away slowly against one another . the danger of a major quake devastating this portion of the planet and casting its rapidly maturing indigenous intelligence back into the darkness of the primitive hunter - gatherer receded . it might be hundreds of years , thousands , before such a danger to the planet\u2019s rising intelligence raised its threatening white - hot head again .\nthe city was unhinged in wartime . i wallowed and whirled like a born - again hedonist , drinking my head off , fucking my brains out , looking for romance , hoping to find where i belonged . what kept me together was being a writer with a writer & apos ; s discipline that came automatically with the yellow legal tablets and the blackwing pencils . in the center of homemade chaos , in the eye of my hurricane , week in , week out for most weeks in more than three years , i wrote an original radio propaganda play for the army of the united states of america until i hit a bad bottom with a wallop and had to get psychiatric help .\nthe small personnel airlock through which they entered had been designed to deal with the airlessness of space , not an influx of seawater . it still served its function , however , and the minor mess caused by the damp entry of the two officers would not take long to clean up . the few flopping ocean dwellers that had been unlucky enough to be caught in the hasty entrance would profitably find their way into the ship\u2019s science labs .\nalan dean foster \u2019s work to date includes excursions into hard science fiction , fantasy , horror , detective , western , historical , and contemporary fiction . he has also written numerous nonfiction articles on film , science , and scuba diving and produced the novel versions of many films , including such well - known productions as star wars , the first three alien films , alien nation , and the chronicles of riddick . other works include scripts for talking records , radio , computer games , and the story for the first star trek movie . his novel shadowkeep was the first ever book adaptation of an original computer game . in addition to publication in english his work has been translated into more than fifty languages and has won awards in spain and russia . his novel cyber way won the southwest book award for fiction in 1990 , the first work of science fiction ever to do so .\nana\u2019s dramatic exit from hood\u2019s apartment doesn\u2019t get her very far as no sooner is she out the door than she runs into her father\u2019s associate olek , who arrived in town at the end of last episode , and who tries to stuff her in the boot of his car . thankfully lucas hood is having none of it . in case of emergency , break glass , which is precisely what hood does when he caves in olek\u2019s car window .\nuhura laid a last look on the science officer , then turned and joined sulu in the cockpit . airlock doors shut tightly behind her as she settled into the seat beside the helmsman . sulu was now sweating as heavily as if he were floating outside in the volcanic flow . uhura spared a final thought for the science officer rather than for what he was about to do , and then , taking a deep breath , she initiated the drop .\ni also loved how this romance was not insta - love ! which totally gave this book at least an automatic three stars in my mind when i realized that from the beginning . development , development , development ! i cannot stress that enough ! it\u2019s clear that bracken put a lot of deep thought into developing this novel . the world was incredibly created and strangely realistic , as far as world where kids are running around with powers can go , of course . the voices and dialogues stayed true to characters , and the pacing was perfect ! there was hardly ever a dull moment , even when there were explanations about psi powers and all that jazz , i was still sucked into the story because there was always something going on the kept my eyes glued to those pages . and let me tell you , it was not pretty when i was forced to part from this book in between breaks .\nno !\nshe said .\nno , you shouldn ' t think that , harry ! just - just - just everything !\nshe realized that her wand was still pointed at harry , and she lowered it . she was trying very hard not to burst out into tears .\neverything !\nshe repeated , and couldn ' t find any better to say than that , although she was certain that harry wanted to tell her to be specific .\nmost weeks on banshee , we\u2019re treated to an opening scene before the titles roll , often as an indication of what to expect . we shall live forever goes straight into the mixture of ever - changing snapshots and end - of - the - world guitar riffs , which seems a little odd . once this hour is up though , you realise that it would have been very difficult to choose an appropriate opening to indicate the emotional draining that was about to occur .\nwhile ana is turning his humble abode into a wrecking shop , lucas hood has been tracked down by rebecca bowman . given their numerous previous encounters , and the connection that the two seemed to establish during episode five , the kindred , it wouldn\u2019t be unreasonable for rebecca to think she\u2019d found a friend in the sheriff . lucas has other things on his mind though and his distraction pushes her away , but not before that pesky little tell tale clay burton has spied them .\nto a stunned uhura , the unprogrammed rapidity of the cable\u2019s ascent could mean only one thing . \u201cthe line . . . there\u2019s no weight on it . \u201d though equally distressed , sulu had no time to comfort her . as individual components shut down or went offline , the shuttle\u2019s performance was being swiftly degraded . frantically bypassing damaged elements and engaging emergency backups , he was fully occupied in striving to keep them from following the science officer into the volcano\u2019s blistering , molten depths .\ndorothy vocal score ( a comedy opera ) -

he took the time to fabricate 72 fake humans and stuff them into the torpedoes ? all for when khan scans the torpedoes to see there are\npeople\nin them . but this completely ignores the fact that they have to open one up to find khan ' s crew member inside , specifically because they can ' t scan the torpedoes . it ' s also obvious that the author was working from an earlier version of the script than what made it into the movie . there ' s a lot of dialogue that changes a bunch of conversations between the characters , especially concerning khan towards the end of the film . the book also has thomas harewood as a visitor to the kelvin archive in london , when he actually worked there . i ' m pretty sure they wouldn ' t let a visitor onto the bottom level . there are a few other issues with the book , but on the whole , it ' s enjoyable .\nfirst and foremost the great darrell fancourt , just a year or two into the roles he would make his own and define . interestingly sounding lighter voiced than both his later deadeyes , and taking the upper alternative notes on ' ploughs the water ' at a time when these were not published in the vs . on his next recording he takes the low g , but reverts to the higher on his last rendition . i wish i could remember which he did on the only occasion i saw him play the part .\nit would have been far easier if spock could simply beam in and out with the ship\u2019s transporter . but while they could beam him into the volcano , it would be impossible to set him down on a safe , solid location . to do that would have required a preliminary visual fix : one they had neither the time nor the precise means to obtain . sometimes , despite the availability of the most advanced tech , nothing worked better than a pair of experienced eyes . . . and being directly on site .\nduring the whole of these several periods the many beautiful examples of fans produced in holland , italy , and spain may be easily recognized by the impress they bear of the art and style of those countries . all the finest skins , known as\nchicken - skin ,\nalthough the skin was kid ' s skin subject to peculiar treatment ( art lost since the time of louis xvi , when silk mounts came into fashion ) , were brought from italy . painted sticks also were in much favor for italian fans .\nnot that i was a gung ho patriot . i didn & apos ; t want to be inducted \u2014 i was drafted before we were at war \u2014 but it was unthinkable for me to admit my sexuality to anyone except a friend in the same leaky boat and i didn & apos ; t have such a friend until after i was in the army . my first year and a half in uniform , i went protectively numb . then i was put on detached service in new york and went hurling out into orbit .\ni have finally finished this almost 500 page boring crap , thanks to my cousin . expectations , expectations , i should seriously start lowering them . i went into this book expecting some badass , kickass action scenes with a strong heroine , but what i got was a boring ass long as fuck road trip story with some dun dun dun . when i think dystopian , this is what comes to my mind : \u2022evil government \u2022some sort of plague / disease \u2022group of teens that must take down the government \u2022some action \u2022butt kicking femal\nyes , uncle !

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

key fire , with the actors selling an unlikely but mutually rewarding friendship with ease , as nettlebeck and cinematographer michael bertl bask in their picturesque surroundings . and even hans zimmer seems swooned by the material , delivering a surprisingly subtle score that\u2019s a complete turnaround from the more speaker rattling blockbuster stuff he\u2019s been cranking out lately . it\u2019s mostly unshowy stuff all around , and for a time , it seems like \u201clast love\u201d will fully embrace its euro flavour and step away from typically hollywood cinematic conventions . if only\u2026\n21 ways to ruin a marriage ( dir . johanna vuoksenmaa , finland 2013 ) there are 21 ways to ruin a marriage and that ' s enough to convince sanna that falling in love is folly . as her extensive studies show \u2018divorce is a natural and probable consequence of falling in love . \u2019 love and sex are two different things , and she prefers the latter , in an intoxicated state if possible . marriage is a business agreement .\nsold to most european territories and the u . s . , where image entertainment will release it in october , mr . morgan has also been making the festival rounds , powered by the arthouse -

loving clown into a cinematic powerhouse in japan and abroad .\nkitano is also a very good director and actor , but his directorial debut violent cop isn ' t a perfect film . some key scenes are left out of the film for the viewer to fill in the blanks for , which is kinda annoying when the scenes are pivotal to the climatic finale .\nin haskell\u2019s\ni walk alone\n, lancaster is the defying muscle in an organisation lead by douglas\u2019 brain . in boorman\u2019s\npoint blank\n, marvin is the defying muscle taking on a crime syndicate . the same in\nviolent cop\n. kitano is the defying cop , who relies on brute force to get justice done , while the police force is more concerned about its image than law and order . its this sensation of transition , that makes\nviolent cop\nsuch a strong and dark film .\nthe violent cop poster is one of the 5 best movie posters ever . visually incredibly succinct and beautifully laid out . i often try to rip it off . i am always unsuccessful .\nslow -

cop who stalks a group of a office workers who have planned an after hours party in their office complex complete with all the booze your liver can ' t handle and strippers . why a bunch of grown men need to party in their place of employment instead of at one of their homes or a hotel room or anywhere that would be more comfortable is beyond me but it makes for an interesting slasher film setting .\nthe original title\nsono otoko , kyobo ni tsuki\nmeans\nwatch out , this man is dangerous\n. the common known title\nviolent cop\nis the 1998 us rename .\nso if there were an award for truth in titling , ' ' violent cop , ' ' the sharp , shocking , cynical account of his conflict with corruption , would surely be a contender -

up to violent cop , takeshi kitano planted his stake in the ground and announced himself as a serious filmmaker worthy of paying attention to . boiling point was kitano\u2019s second film , released only one year after violent cop , but it was his first as a screenwriter rather than a hired gun , and the difference in tone and execution from one film to the next is quite startling . whereas violent cop is a relatively straight forward story told with some unusual acting and scripting choices that make it feel like a special entry in a firmly established genre , boiling point is something else altogether . this follow - up is a statement from kitano that he had his own views of what makes a film successful , and that he would not be beholden to expectation in delivering his own version of a story from the lower levels of organized crime .\ntoraro , d . , 2004 . \u2018sono otoko , kyobo ni tsuki / violent cop\u2019 . in : j . bowyer , ed . the cinema of japan and korea . london : wallflower press , pp . 129 -

' '\nviolent cop was originally conceived as a comedy , before it was re - written as a drama , with kitano reportedly unhappy with the reaction from test screenings , wanting less laughs and more gasps . i ' m not convinced it was thoroughly re - written though - kitano plays said violent cop , azuma , and accompanied by a theme tune that sounds like something out of laurel and hardy , he deadpans his way through acts of casual violence , defying you to take it seriously . from head - butting a teenager in his bedroom , to repeatedly slapping a drug dealer in the toilets of a bar ( this scene had me on the floor : \u2026\nviolent cop , or as its delirious japanese title says , sono otoko , ky\u014db\u014d ni tsuki ( that man , he is dangerous ) , is the story of a renegade cop who goes off the rails in his single - minded pursuit of a particular kind of justice . crazy cop stories had already been a staple of western genre films for decades , but japanese films seemed to have been a bit more staid in their portrayal of the men and women ( mostly men ) committed to maintaining order . when cops did go rogue , for the most part , it\u2019s because the story was focused on the villain and their redemption or revenge . violent cop turns the tables and makes the protagonist a largely unsympathetic , but strangely relatable , hot - head determined to gain vengeance for wrongs committed against himself and his family . it\u2019s a bold move , from a script largely rewritten day by day when kitano came on board , that creates an unforgettable central performance from the actor and his capable supporting cast .\nso here are all 14 of kitano\u2019s features to date , in their best graphic interpretations . from top to bottom , left to right , glory to the filmmaker ( 2007 ) , a turkish poster for takeshis\u2019 ( 2005 ) , achilles and the tortoise ( 2008 ) , getting any ?

screen persona with this performance . kitano has made an acting career of portraying stone - faced villains who bottle up their rage until it reaches a level that can no longer be contained , usually erupting in spectacularly bloody violence . in violent cop , his officer - on - the - edge portrayal of azuma is one of carefully moderated madness . he is constantly needled throughout the film by villains and his own bosses alike , leading him to explode in all directions while attempting to make things right in his own extremely vicious way . it\u2019s a role that kitano would later layer into his performances as yakuza bosses and underlings in the years after , and it\u2019s one that he\u2019s very nearly perfected .\nhowever , one thing that should be noted is that this is the only one of kitano\u2019s films that isn\u2019t actually written by him . violent cop was originally being developed by kinji fukasaku and when he couldn\u2019t finish the project , the studio asked kitano if he was interested in directing it . having done comedy all his life , he agreed but demanded rights to rewrite parts of the story . that might be the reason why this film does seem somewhat uneven at times .\nas the film ' s main theme . it sounds beautiful in the uncompressed and there are optional english subtitles . the\nezra , e . and t . rowden , 2006 . transnational cinema : the film reader . london : routledge .\nin ' ' violent cop , ' ' azuma , partnered with an eager rookie , becomes part of an investigation of a drug -

grossing list , which included back to the future ii , dead poets society and honey i shrunk the kids , 1989 also included a plethora of less commonly - appreciated films . some were big in their native countries but only received a limited release in the us and uk . others were poorly received but have since been reassessed as cult items .\nwhile kitano is reluctant to talk about his style and motifs , there are elements visible ( in hindsight ) : the duality of emotions ( the emotional pendulum ) , the duality towards pretending and the kitano fatalism . possibly the need to be taken serious made kitano write things for him important into the script : if so ,\nviolent cop\nmay well be a blueprint for kitano motifs .\nsuch depravity also eventually consumes kitano\u2019s sister , a mentally handicapped innocent whose violation is the final straw for the violent cop . as a director , kitano employs long takes to heighten his protagonist\u2019s isolation . the tension reaches a fever pitch during a final confrontation in which the eponymous antihero finds even his own extreme measures ineffectual against the spread of degenerate corruption . a forlorn saga about the futility of fighting crime and sin , violent cop oozes with despondency . and yet despite this bleakness , there\u2019s a deadpan quality to kitano\u2019s tragedy . that black comedy is felt not just in more straight - faced punchlines , but also in the action\u2019s periodic blasts of bloodshed , none better than a prolonged chase sequence that ends with kitano repeatedly running over a junkie perp with his car and then kicking him for good measure .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\ndirector takeshi kitano ' s unflinching d\u00e9but is a poignant practice in violence and nihilism . the plot ( though initially slightly slow ) follows the titular ' violent cop ' azuma as he commits elevating acts of brutality in a fashion similar to that of ' dirty harry ' in order to solve a case . where azuma distinguishes himself from harry callaghan , however , is in his ethos , and the deep existentialism running throughout ' violent cop ' allows it to become a more thought provoking character study then ' dirty harry ' ever was . in a directorial sense ' vc ' is poetically beautiful and minimalistic , with shots lingering on both small moments of beauty and extreme violence , reminding viewers that both inhabit the same existence and that ( for our protagonist ) neither one is more shocking then the other . azuma ' s acts of violence are often linked to those of the film ' s primary antagonist and assassin kiyohiro , with the two even sharing dialogue throughout . in a sense ' violent cop ' presents itself as a study of oppressed , traditional masculinity in 20th century japan , and the untameable nature of those men who haven ' t given in to the confinement of modern existence , azuma ' s regard to the rules and those around him ( his disabled sister especially ) act as testament to this , and the outstanding final confrontation is a natural amalgamation of the brooding violence that preceded it . outstanding .\nglory to the filmmaker indeed . as reported on the auteurs yesterday , takeshi kitano is currently the toast of paris , prompting movie poster of the week to take a look at kitano\u2019s career in one - sheets . starting as a stand - up comedian in 1972 , \u201cbeat\u201d takeshi soon became one of japan\u2019s most popular entertainers and television personalities . he started acting in movies in the early \u201980s , most notably in oshima\u2019s merry christmas , mr . lawrence ( 1983 ) but it was almost by accident that he started making his own films , when the original director of 1989\u2019s violent cop fell ill . since then he has written and directed 14 movies in the past 20 years , though his reception in america has veered wildly from adulation to indifference . his first film to be picked up in the states , 1993\u2019s sonatine , was held back for years by miramax until it was finally released five years later , hot on the heels of his 1997 venice golden lion winner hana - bi ( fireworks ) .\nviolent cop remains a stunning debut feature . it must have genuinely stunned , being as it is a fierce and destabilizing portrait of cold and cruel gangland warfare , as good as if not better than anything by kinji fukasaku ( who was originally meant to direct it ) , directed by an ever - present comedian and tv personality . and of course it is funny , gleefully so ( if nonetheless resolutely deadpan ) . a master arrives .\nto the best of our knowledge , the only western film based on the zatoichi series , blind fury stars rutger hauer as the swordsman of the title . the fights are outlandish ( and nicely choreographed by director philip noyce ) , but hauer plays it straight , delivering a charismatic and excitingly physical performance . interestingly , blind fury was one of two movies directed by noyce and released in 1989 ; the thriller dead calm , starring sam neill , nicole kidman and billy zane , was the slightly higher - profile of the two , though neither was exactly a huge hit .\nfox lorber - region 1 - ntsc vs . mia - region 2 - pal vs . film movement - region ' a ' - blu - ray\nthe film works either way because of the strong direction and acting from kitano , but it would be bland without him . he makes the movie .\nthe transition extends and is completed with the death of azuma . while the ending of\nviolent cop\nnotes upon a cyclic reading - kikuchi , azuma\u2019s apprentice , walks over the bridge in the exact same framing as azuma did in the beginning of the film - it is an illusion , as kikuchi walks up to the new yakuza boss , who shot azuma , and is paid off . quiet ambiguous , one has to ask : was kikuchi corrupt all along ? did he become corrupt after the death of azuma ? was azuma\u2019s death in vain ? the ending stands open , as it is ambiguous .\nsound mono is mono , but at least this 2 . 0 mix is clear and lacks annoying hiss or other distortions that can render a film miserable .\n' beat ' takeshi kitano directs and stars in this cult japanese thriller as a cop waging war on the yakuza . given that even the yakuza think him dangerously brutal , it ' s worth noting that the title of the film is well deserved . released on the new dvd only tokyo bullet label from mia , here ' s what we thought of the disc . . .\nrobert de niro was still at the top of his game when he made this relatively obscure drama about a traumatised vietnam veteran struggling to come to terms with his past . the 80s saw no shortage of films examining the psychological fallout of the vietnam war on the american psyche - brian de palma\u2019s casualties of war also came out in 1989 - and it\u2019s possible that the sheer number of them left audiences a little fatigued by their number . but jacknife is , unlike many other ' nam films of the era , a quiet , unshowy film , with de niro at his restrained best as the haunted protagonist .\npas le meilleur kitano . on aime les personnages , on aime retrouver ce personnage hirsute , qui emmerde tout , violent mais avec une droiture bien \u00e0 lui . mise en sc\u00e8ne rien de folichon et un sc\u00e9nario qui s ' emm\u00eale un peu .\nthis is a cop who keeps slapping a dope dealer he confronts in a men ' s room until he bleeds . azuma is not above the dirty trick of leaving a knife where a suspect he wants to nail can grab it - - if he is foolish enough . when a fellow cop tells the story of azuma ' s accidentally shooting a\npunk\nwith a wild shot , azuma straightens him out .\ni aimed for him .\nobviously influenced by alien and the thing , leviathan\u2019s pure schlock , seemingly rushed into production as an answer to james cameron\u2019s expensive the abyss , which also came out in 1989 . the creature effects , devised by stan winston , are variable at best , but some of them - like the bit where daniel stern gets attacked by a toothsome tentacle - are really effective . best enjoyed with a beer and some unhealthy snacks , leviathan\u2019 s perfect for an evening\u2019s trashy entertainment .\nindependent us distributor film movement , mostly known until now for their monthly dvd club that shares under - the - radar indie films with fans at home , has taken up the challenge of releasing this film , along with kitano\u2019s follow - up boiling point on blu - ray for the first time anywhere . the result is a solid presentation that represents a demonstrable step up in quality from the available dvd versions of violent cop . the presentation isn\u2019t exactly reference quality , but there is a noticeable bump in image quality both in terms of fine detail clarity and color fidelity . the audio presentation is similarly improved with an uncompressed lpcm stereo track that delivers clear , sharp dialogue , and does what it can with one of kitano\u2019s least compelling background scores . overall , it\u2019s a definite upgrade from any of the dvd versions previously available .\nthe look of the film is sharp - edged and detached . the violence is first presented slightly off - camera , but that changes as the stakes get higher .\nwe miss you , patrick swayze . next of kin was the film he made that was sandwiched between road house and ghost . it ' s also a blast .\ndescribing the plot of boiling point ( re - titled for international markets from the far more obtuse \uff13\uff0d\uff14\uff58\uff11\uff10\u6708 or 3 \u2013 4x october ) , is a bit tricky as the film is far more free flowing and less linear that violent cop . the story focuses largely on masaki ( yurei yanagi ) , an inept member of a local baseball team , whose boss is threatened and attacked by a local yakuza . masaki travels to okinawa to purchase some guns to take his revenge on the yakuza and along the way meets up with uehara ( kitano ) , a hot - tempered , ill - mannered yakuza who hops along for the ride , inciting all kinds of madness along the way . as the film progresses , masaki approaches the titular boiling point from which he cannot turn back , and a trail of bodies seems to impede his path at every step .\ngoldberg , r . 2004 . \u2018demons in the family : tracking the japanese \u201cuncanny mother film\u201d from a page of madness to ringu \u2019 . in : b . k . grant and c . sharrett , eds . planks of reason : essays on the horror film . revised edition . oxford : scarecrow press , pp . 370 -

edged cop movie , where the shift in locale means a shift in rules .\nviolent cop . so , this was originally supposed to be filmed by kinji fukasaku ( battle royale , graveyard of honor , yakuza papers ) who dropped out , thankfully . takeshi kitano , who was only starring in the film , took over and japanese films haven ' t been the same for me since . unlike other yakuza films , kitano ' s violence is quick and cold - blooded . different from american vigilante cops such as dirty harry , who care so much for their victims , kitano ' s character azuma doesn ' t seem to care about anything but personal revenge . if you ' re a fan of beat takeshi ( and you should be ) don ' t pass up this directorial debut .\nwere horrible . this may have been one of the first comparisons we did - way back in 2001 - ish and i ' m unaware of newer digital releases . the film movement\njapanese films are our primary texts . one film will be screened each week at the time and place noted above . one ( free ! ) booklet will be distributed in class .\nthe fact that genre films from distant cultures have nowadays become so accessible to popular understanding is a sign of the increased transnationalism of film culture . as elizabeth ezra and terry rowden explain :\nas if in illustration , ' ' violent cop , ' ' written by hisashi nozawa , begins with a casual , brutal nighttime assault by a group of adolescents on a homeless man . but it isn ' t long before azuma appears on the doorstep of the fine home of one of these punks , talks his way past the boy ' s mother and goes upstairs and into the youngster ' s room . there he proceeds to punch , slap , kick and head - butt before leaving the bloodied boy with four words of advice : ' ' give yourself up tomorrow . ' '\nit ' s a shame , then , that the harder - edged lean on me tends to get overlooked . notwithstanding the fact that it earned morgan freeman a lot of acclaim ( although not an oscar nod ) , john g avildsen ' s film does veer into hollywood sugar coating from time to time , but its leading man is utterly magnetic in the starring role . freeman plays joe clark , in a film based on a real story . the film then tells how clark transformed his approach to a troublesome collection of students , and in turn , began to clean up their school .\na shallow description would refer to this as a japanese version of dirty harry . and it does bear some resemblance to that film , but while dirty harry broke the rules in order to get a criminal at any cost , kitano ' s character azuma seems to seek vengeance due not only to his lust for revenge but because he ' s psychotic . there ' s a sense that azuma won ' t rest until he gets his man not out of duty but out of madness . kitano gives what might be his best performance in this film ; he is absolutely riveting . and the film itself is beautifully shot , and the score is especially good . but the best part of this is perhaps the end - the film ends on a perfectly cynical note that couldn ' t be topped . seek this out .\nstreamline is the official blog of filmstruck , a new subscription service that offers film aficionados a comprehensive library of films including an eclectic mix of contemporary and classic art house , indie , foreign and cult films .\nvojkovi\u0107 , s . , 2009 . \u2018reformulating the symbolic universe : kill bill and tarantino\u2019s transcultural imagery\u2019 . in : w . buckland , ed . film theory and contemporary hollywood movies . new york : routledge .\n\u201cbeat\u201d takeshi kitano has been making headlines recently . late last year the 70 -

ray releases from film movement and third window films , have spawned renewed interest in his work . kitano is also wrapping up production on his latest directorial effort , the third film in his lauded crime trilogy outrage : final chapter ( 2017 ) , and we can look forward to seeing him in the highly anticipated live - action adaptation of ghost in the shell ( 2017 ) soon . as a longtime admirer , it has been a joy to see the arc of his career take shape from popular television comedian to celebrated film auteur and beloved cultural figure .\nazuma has a double in the underworld , a sadistic assassin for a big - shot drug boss . the cop has a sadistic streak of his own . investigating policemen discover the killer in bed with a boy , and it ' s no accident when azuma sticks a gun barrel into the man ' s mouth .\nin conclusion , this review is long and rambling and does not do the film justice . see it . this is one of those movies that really gets to you and has you feeling shitty after watching it . while i don\u2019t like feeling shitty , i never forget when i feel shitty , and as a result , i\u2019ll never forget this film . this film stays with you long after you have seen it , and that is as good a reason as any to see it . very few films affect me in any way these days , but this one sure as hell did , and by doing so it gets my full recommendation . so there .\nas vicious as its title suggests , violent cop nonetheless boasts a wit typical of its director / star takeshi \u201cbeat\u201d kitano , a former stand - up comedian who laces his behind - the - camera debut\u2014which he took the reins of after the initial director backed out\u2014with a dry humor that enhances its bleak brutality . boasting a classical sense of composition and camera movement , the film concerns kitano\u2019s rogue police officer\u2014who almost never speaks or emotes , preferring to let his hands do the talking . slapping criminals about with uninhibited malice , kitano is a robotic dirty harry tolerated by his superiors only because they too recognize the cesspool in which they work . filth and misery are all - encompassing , and as kitano stalks the city\u2019s streets , he comes across as a granite slab of quietly righteous fury , wielding his swinging fists and kicking feet to combat a rising tide of drug - fueled vice .\nkitano is nothing if not a filmmaker willing to stretch his films to meet his own desires and challenge his audience . in kids return he does just that . while the film is a middling effort among his oeuvre , it maintains the sense of freedom that makes kitano\u2019s work stand out . the film maintains two largely independent storylines without much trouble at all , and in the instances in which the storylines intersect , it always feels quite natural .\nthe end of this film can be described in one word : brutal . this is one of those films that slowly rises in intensity until it explodes in an orgy of violence . yes , i know , that sounds like something you would read on a box cover a b - grade action pic , but hey , i lost my thesaurus . this is a hard film for me to describe . the best comparison i can make with this movie is to the radiohead song \u201cexit music ( for a film ) \u201d , off of their 1997 album ok computer . both the film and the song start slow and quietly , build up slowly in intensity , and then culminate in an outburst of all of the repressed and muted emotion that came before it . if you\u2019ve never heard the song , then that will mean nothing to you . don\u2019t let that stop you from seeing the movie , though .\nit doesn ' t take long for officer vickers to make his presence felt at the party , with a gruesome pencil to the eye murder almost as soon as the booze starts flowing . it immediately lets us know that writer dan povenmire has written a screenplay that isn ' t fucking around and that director adam rifkin under his rif coogan moniker , is going to let loose and show us the goods in this picture . psycho cop returns is a gleefully violent and gory film letting robert r . shafer really sink his teeth into the officer vickers role and run with it . shafer comes up with some great one liners and memorable quotes and his charisma sets him apart from the traditional mute stalk and slash villain . shafer is perfectly campy which fits the tone of the film to a t . the filmmakers understood the movie they were making and in the special features even admitted they weren ' t expecting it to be nearly as good as it turned out to be but the outcome was a success when you have a cast that is putting their all in to it , a solid script that flows well and a director who understands that he needs to create a fun film . in 1992 there was really no room for dreadfully serious and dead pan slasher movies , but this one proves that the formula could still work if you create something fun and light .\npsycho cop returns is precisely that . we may be dealing with grown adults in their late 30s and 40s but this is every bit the exact same movie as the teen summer camp slasher film just replacing the jerky frat boy for a jerky middle aged man and the sexy co -

generational family groups . they ' re even building new ships with interconnecting rooms so parents and children have direct access without having to change out of their jammies .\ni saw this movie once on tv and have not forgotten it . it was entertaining with the strained relationship of colbert and fred mcmurray and the back and forth snipping that the old comedies were so famous for . let ' s face it , these two just have great chemistry together and are masters at that kind of domestic comedy . the honeymoon with the kids at the grand canyon is everyone ' s nightmare and you have to laugh at their plight with the honeymoon sabotaged by those out of control kids . what i loved so much were the views of the lodge at the south rim and just the opportunity to see the grand canyon from a time lost forever . some of the shots are amazing . if this one ever came out on dvd i would buy it because it is fun light hearted entertainment done only as these two know how to do it .\nthe family did not secretly escape over the alps to freedom in switzerland , carrying their suitcases and musical instruments . as daughter maria said in a 2003 interview printed in opera news ,\nwe did tell people that we were going to america to sing . and we did not climb over mountains with all our heavy suitcases and instruments . we left by train , pretending nothing .\nthe children have been consistently sharp at delivering funny lines and none more so than seven - year - old aubrey frances anderson - emmons as lily tucker - pritchett , the adopted vietnamese daughter of mitch and cam . post - honeymoon cam has been going over the top with his shows of affection , specifically in the volume of flowers he is bringing home .\nit sure would be nice if this house wasn ' t full of bees ,\nlily drawled .\nwith 3 , 000 rooms in multiple towers , hilton hawaiian village on waikiki beach is the largest . its camp penguin for kids ages 5 to 12 immerses them in the culture of hawaii with stories , games , arts , crafts , and music . they ' ll learn to hula and make leis while you hit the spa , the beach , the shops , or your room in blissful peace . this hotel also has a dedicated wedding chapel , so you can have both your wedding and honeymoon here .\neve discovers , before their wedding , that her fiance is cheating on her - so of course , the wedding is off and she eventually decides to go on their honeymoon alone - where she meets a handsome irishman . instantly they are attracted to one another and become attached , yet , she will be going home and he is a single father , not sure of opening himself up to relationships and busy trying to protect their homeland of redevelopment projects that would ruin the local inn , other businesses , and the nature around them .\nbut as mean as the dunphy story is this week , it\u2019s just as funny . this show can be great at its most absurd , and the idea of having the family\u2019s blissful flow disrupted the very second alex enters is pretty great , and danny zuker\u2019s script executes it well . and yet again , it\u2019s a reason to marvel at the casual brilliance of ty burrell , who managed to elevate a story accurately summarized as \u201cphil enjoys plums . \u201d\nif you ' re kids at heart yourselves , you may get as much of a kick out of disneyworld , epcot and universal as youngsters do . but be aware that it won ' t be a relaxing honeymoon holiday . and even if your kids are well - behaved and patient , there will be others in the crowds who add to the noise and tumult . if you can arrange for a babysitter , reward yourselves by stealing away for a few hours in the evening and indulging in adult pleasures . you ' ve earned it !\nthe von trapps traveled to italy , not switzerland . georg was born in zadar ( now in croatia ) , which at that time was part of the austro - hungarian empire . zadar became part of italy in 1920 , and georg was thus an italian citizen , and his wife and children as well . the family had a contract with an american booking agent when they left austria . they contacted the agent from italy and requested fare to america .\nexamining the historical record is helpful in separating fact from fiction , particularly in a case like the von trapp family and the sound of music . in researching this article , i read maria von trapp ' s books , contemporary newspaper articles , and original documents , all of which clarified the difference between the von trapps ' real experiences and fictionalized accounts . my impression of maria from dinah shore ' s show was the tip of a tantalizing iceberg : the real lives of real people are always more interesting than stories .\nwhen their six months visitors ' visas expired , they went on a short scandinavian tour and returned to new york in october 1939 . they were held at ellis island for investigation by the immigration and naturalization service , apparently because when asked by an official how long they intended to stay , instead of saying\nsix months ,\nas specified on their visas , maria exclaimed ,\noh , i am so glad to be here\u2014i never want to leave again !\nthe story of the trapp family singers notes that they were released after a few days and began their next tour .\nthe von trapps never saw much of the huge profits the sound of music made . maria sold the film rights to german producers and inadvertently signed away her rights in the process . the resulting films , die trapp - familie ( 1956 ) , and a sequel , die trapp - familie in amerika ( 1958 ) , were quite successful . the american rights were bought from the german producers . the family had very little input in either the play or the movie the sound of music . as a courtesy , the producers of the play listened to some of maria ' s suggestions , but no substantive contributions were accepted .\nin the early 1940s the family settled in stowe , vermont , where they bought a farm . they ran a music camp on the property when they were not on tour . in 1944 , maria and her stepdaughters johanna , martina , maria , hedwig , and agathe applied for u . s . citizenship by filing declarations of intention at the u . s . district court in burlington , vermont . georg apparently never filed to become a citizen ; rupert and werner were naturalized while serving in the u . s . armed forces during world war ii ; rosmarie and eleonore derived citizenship from their mother ; and johannes was born in the united states and was a citizen in his own right .\nthough she was a caring and loving person , maria wasn ' t always as sweet as the fictional maria . she tended to erupt in angry outbursts consisting of yelling , throwing things , and slamming doors . her feelings would immediately be relieved and good humor restored , while other family members , particularly her husband , found it less easy to recover . in her 2003 interview , the younger maria confirmed that her stepmother\nhad a terrible temper . . . . and from one moment to the next , you didn ' t know what hit her . we were not used to this . but we took it like a thunderstorm that would pass , because the next minute she could be very nice .\nwhile disney and family fun go together like mickey and minnie , the thought of spending your special vacation on line in the parks may not be your idea of wishing upon a star . enter the disney cruise line , a collection of four spectacular ships that feature all the fun of the disney name with an equal amount of pampering for parents . champagne bars , spas and\u2014on caribbean itineraries\u2014an adults -

pick a half - dozen phenomenal episodes , the kind of episodes that make you remember why there was a time when the show was the obvious and deserving winner . no , it isn\u2019t as consistent as it once was . no , it doesn\u2019t feel as fresh as it once did . yes , nolan gould\u2019s pubescent voice is nightmare fuel . but at this point , here\u2019s the question , which will hereafter be referred to as the modfam conundrum : is it worth watching 24 episodes to get to the six or so killers ?\nif you think club med is all about swinging , single fun , think again . the first name in the all -

religious propaganda and policies , the pervasive fear that those around them could be acting as spies for the nazis , and the brainwashing of children against their parents . they weighed staying in austria and taking advantage of the enticements the nazis were offering\u2014greater fame as a singing group , a medical doctor ' s position for rupert , and a renewed naval career for georg\u2014against leaving behind everything they knew\u2014their friends , family , estate , and all their possessions . they decided that they could not compromise their principles and left .\ngeorg von trapp , born in 1880 , became a national hero as a captain in the austrian navy during world war i . he commanded submarines with valor and received the title of\nritter\n( knight ) , and later baron , as a reward for his heroic accomplishments . georg married agathe whitehead , the granddaughter of robert whitehead , the inventor of the torpedo , in 1912 . they had seven children together : rupert , 1911\u20131992 ; agathe , 1913\u2013 [ 2010 ] ; maria , 1914\u2013 [ 2014 ] ; werner , 1915\u2013 [ 2007 ] ; hedwig , 1917\u20131972 ; johanna , 1919\u20131994 ; and martina , 1921\u20131952 . after world war i , austria lost all of its seaports , and georg retired from the navy . his wife died in 1922 of scarlet fever . the family was devastated by her death and unable to bear living in a place where they had been so happy , georg sold his property in pola ( now pula , croatia ) and bought an estate in salzburg .\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 .\nsuch a cute movie . . . . please share it with us again . . . . . . very funny and the scenery is great at the canyon . . . . . . . .\nit is romantic , funny , and a joy to watch . i ' m hoping they will put this on dvd soon . i will buy a copy the first day it comes out . i like movies with fred . . .\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\nunencumbered couples get to frolic sensually at adults -

awareness that at one point a character ( the detective ) breaks the fourth wall , looks directly into the camera , and identifies the film ' s tone and wry perspective .\nwhether considered an arty trash film or a trashy art film ( i personally think it\u2019s a special kind of high - style pop masterpiece ) , daughters of darkness is a great deal of campy fun . i know next to nothing about harry k\u00fcmel , but were i to go by the way this film makes me feel and how it engages me with its visuals , its sharp screenplay ( credited to k\u00fcmel , jean ferry , pierre druot , and manfred r . k\u00f6hler ) , and seyrig\u2019s knowing evocation of the film sirens of yesteryear ; i would say he is a man who not only loves movies but understands them . it\u2019s evident in every frame .\nthis review is part of miscellaneous foreign horror week , the last of five celebrations of international horror done for our shocktober 2008 event .\ncondemn . this is the heritage of the servants of the lord , and their righteousness is of me , said the lord . \u201d\neight police motorcycles escorted three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the church ahead of the service . a procession of dozens of cars followed .\ni wish i could remember what kind of theater played\ndaughters of darkness\nwhen it was first released in sf in 1971 . it ' s just as likely it opened oat one of the grindhouses on market street as one of the arthouses which showed warhol and john waters movies . the silent screening you describe really sounds kind of marvelous . i have yet to see this beautiful film on a big screen , but would love to have seen it in such a unique way as you describe . it must have been mesmerizing ! since posting this piece , i ' ve become re - infatuated with seyrig and acquired several of her films that slipped by me in the past . spectacular is the word !\nsaw the daughters of men , that they were beautiful ; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose . and the lord said ,\nmy spirit shall not strive with man forever , for he is indeed flesh ; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years .\ni strongly disagree with the fact that men remarry to have sons . islam allowed men to marry up to 4 wives for a reason , for instance , if his wife can ' t get pregnant . but the problem is that some men want to have sons rather than daughters . what ' s that for ? a child , whether he ' s a boy or a girl , is a gift from god , why do some think of it as a tragedy ? women are really suffering in our societies because of polygamy , and because of having daughters instead of having sons to rejoice their spouses .\nhaving sisters and a daughters is a blessing . i was spoiled and pampered by my sisters . i miss that because allah has blessed me with three sons . i wish i had a daughter like my sisters .\nshe wrote : ' i was very upset when i was told about the incident that was witnessed by [ my daughters ] when the door to the room [ jessa and ben ] were in was accidentally opened .\noverall i enjoyed this book . i hope that there will be a sequel to explain more of the plot . daughter of darkness was in the spirit of most v . c . andrews books . the main character was not much of a role model until the end of the book . she was meek , weak , naive , childish , and boy crazy ( instant true love ) . but , by the end of the book she had found her strength ! pro : a great amount of mystery that kept me reading the book even through all of the things that annoyed me . an original take on vampire cu\nnear the end of the insistently weepy \u201cfathers and daughters , \u201d aunt elizabeth ( diane kruger , aged up with makeup ) tells her niece katie ( amanda seyfried ) , with a weariness that can only be cultivated by a life of disappointment , that \u201cmen , they can survive without love\u2014but not us women . \u201d\ni agree with you whole - heartily . we must look inside ourselves and practice the true islam and the message of prophet mohammed ( pbuh ) its odd to see the people who pray five time a day and fast but reject there wife and daughters and deem them to be\nuseless\n, surely prophet mohammed ' s ( pbuh ) greatest asset was his wife and daughter ( bibi khatija and bibi fatima - ul zahra ) . as a society we can be more successful with the help of our wives and daughters . your essay is a step in the right direction of dialogue .\nthere\u2019s a kind of predictable , to - be - expected adherence to form and structure that comes with the territory of genre films . filmmakers deviate from it at their own risk . as a movie fan , i can\u2019t help but give historical credit to horror films in general for their vast stylistic influence on the art form , as such . but as a non - fan of vampire films , it helped a great deal that i came to daughters of darkness with little in the way of expectations and devoid of an awareness of any vampire film\ntraditions\ni longed to see upheld . i simply hoped the film wouldn\u2019t live up to its limp u . s . ad campaign and that cheesy title , which made the film sound like a made - for - tv movie starring donna mills and kay lenz .\nto conclude therefore : when in i peter 3 : 19 we read that jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison , we should not read into it dead people living in a prison , without resurrection , and jesus going to them to preach the good news . what the word of god is speaking in i peter 3 : 19 is not about dead people but about spirits , angelic beings that are in a prison , in the tartarus , bound in everlasting chains under darkness . why ? because of what they did in the times of noah , leaving their own habitation , giving themselves over to fornication and going after \u201cstrange flesh\u201d , after the daughters of men .\none for the goths daughters of darkness just oozes an understated gothic charm which instantly captured my heart . in a movie which my co - blogger described as \u2018too arty\u2019 for his tastes , i found that the stylistic quality of this film really made it for me , and i can see why it has become a cult favourite in recent times . directed by harry kumel this is a belgium horror affair with a strong european cast . the film was originally released in france under the title les l\u00e8vres rouges , and in belgium as le rouge aux l\u00e8vres , both which translate to \u2018red lips\u2019 , titles befitting the erotic nature of this film .\nimagine living in a small town where nothing happens , and then suddenly becoming involved in something beyond your wildest dreams . welcome to mary -

friendly , [ this film ] tells the story of the endless breakups and makeups of a highly unstable yet apparently indissoluble couple . it\u2019s a sort of love story told in inverted terms , depicting the protracted end of a five -

known film , but arguably it\u2019s his greatest \u2013 the most uncompromising and consistent , and , as restrained as it is on the surface , ultimately the most personal and unforgiving in its self -

on / grudge , meaning explained the story behind these 6 movies .\nthe film\u2019s credits do give a grudging ( sorry ) nod to shimzu as the ju - on creator with a \u2018based on characters created by\u2019 tag . both the ju - on\u2019s were released simultaneously on the tenth anniversary of the original ju - on\u2019s as a sort of \u2018honour\u2019 to shimzu and his films .\nwhite ghost : cinematography , koji kanaya ; editor , yoshifumi fukazawa ; music , gary ashiya . black ghost : cinematography , shin hayasaka ; editor , yoshifumi fukazawa ; music , gary ashiya .\nthe original 2000\nju - on\nand its 2000\nju - on 2\nsequel were direct - to - video releases that became a surprise hit in japan .\nwell actually , one edition of the third ju - on film ( ju - on : the grudge ) was re - titled\nthe grudge\nfor the uk dvd release only , yet it ' s sequel was still titled ju - on : the grudge 2 in the uk and simply ju - on 2 in the us . every single one of the films was released as\nju - on :\n+ subtitle in america . and i think they retitled the third ju - on from simply\nju - on\nto\nju - on : the grudge\nafter the remake came out but i ' m not entirely certain : ) it ' s more accurate to just refer to the japanese franchise as ju - on and the american one as the grudge , to avoid confusion .\nchikako isomura played sachie in the original ju - on : the grudge ( 2002 ) .\nsuffice to say , i was most surprised to find that ju - on was , in fact , not even the first grudge film . ju - on and ju - on 2 ( released in 2000 ) , were both released in japan and ran for around 70 minutes each .\nin 2003 , director takashi shimizu along with mentor kiyoshi kurosawa released theatrical versions titled ju - on : the grudge and ju - on : the grudge 2 . that same year , 2003 , rights were sold to film a u . s . remake of ju - on : the grudge .\nju - on black and white ghost are two 60 - minute movies that were created to celebrate ju - on ' s anniversary . it is the first time takashi shimizu wasn ' t attached to a ju - on movie and also the first ones not to feature kayako and toshio . it is a fun flick in the same format of the other movies , a non - linear storyline about an evil ghost . it builds up really well , and the last 10 minutes or so are really messed up . it was a pleasant surprise .\ni watched this right after watching ' white ghost ' and this is definitely the more disappointing of the two . the main problem is that the black ghost is almost never actually in it , and compared to the old lady white ghost , the actress just doesn ' t have the screen presence to make it scary .\nju - on : white ghost / black ghost ( jwgbg for short ) jwgbg is a smart horror thriller that tells its story in almost anthology - like segments ( called anachronistic order ) . these segments are all a part of the main story working in reverse as a narrative and then separated by chapters ( slide - titled with characters names ) .\nboth films are very dour in their approach , offering little in the way of light relief ; though the cab driver from both films does offer some moments that will make the corner of your mouth twitch . neither could be classed as truly scary , though ju - on black ghost comes closest to the feel of the original ju - on film , delivering a strong and stylish story .\nadopting a far more accessible and well paced method of storytelling , where the past is played out in line with the present , ju - on black ghost is more satisfying and benefits greatly from a more substantial narrative and the use of more developed characters to tell an interesting story .\nworst of the ju - on films thus far . there ' s a nice bit of body horror near the end , and the twist is pretty good , but for the most part black ghost is just uninteresting and difficult to follow . also , much like its predecessor , the change - up in the ghost ' s form is more bland than it is shocking .\nthe grudge 3 [ videorecording ] / stage 6 films and ghost . . .\nthe cursed tape in white ghost resembles the cursed tape in ringu / the ring .\nit ' s a very interesting movie ! how each character was connected by this grudge . first in the white ghost then you go to the black ghost different characters in each one they do show a glimpse of the little boy that sounds like a cat from ju - on and from the us movie grudge . i am happy i made this purchase ! this movie is japanese audio only with english subtitles .\nju - on : white ghost ( originally titled ju - on old lady in white ) is directed by ry\u00fbta miyake . i may be a bit obtuse , but after watching this film twice , i cannot for the life of me understand several things about the film . why , for instance , is the ghost a \u2018little old lady\u2019 who carries a basketball with her everywhere ? why is that considered terrifying by those who meet her ? what connection does this little old lady ghost have with the school girl in the yellow hat ?\nthe wii game ju - on : the grudge was first screened during this films ' press release . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] .\nunlike its companion piece white ghost , mari asato ' s black ghost never manages to transcend the student film - esque aesthetic that comes with such a limited budget . the vignette - based narrative is brutally dull and thoroughly uninteresting to say the least . the technical aspects of the scares are handled better than white ghost , but when they ' re not tethered to any sort of compelling story , it doesn ' t really matter . these films were an interesting idea , but you ' re best off just watching white ghost .\ndeath of a ghost hunter ( 2007 ) : small budget , big scares ( mikesfilmtalk . com )\nit was announced a few weeks back that ghost house pictures and good universe will relaunch the grudge franchise with midnight meat train scribe jeff buhler to draft the reboot . this will be the second time they do so , if you count the japanese remake ( ju - on : the grudge is a remake of the made - for - tv horror movie , ju - on ) .\nthe . grudge . old . lady . in . white [ ju - on . shiroi . rjo ] 2009 [ 592 x 320 h264 ]\nto celebrate ten years of ju -

on ( the grudge ) franchise , made in cooperation with the original films ' creator takashi shimizu .\nan interview with buhler popped up where he talked about his starting point for the new ju - on film , and how he plans to approach it .\ndon ' t watch the grudge you ' re way better of watching the excellent and very creepy ju - on , you won ' t be dissapointed .\nwhen i first heard they were making another ju on movie to mark the 10 year anniversary , i have to admit , i thought it would be bad . then i realised they were making 2 movies , which honestly , sounded just terrible . i bought it to give it a go and i was very pleasently surprised . while obviously its not superior to the original , its still a nicely told and polished production . each movie is an hour long but there are still plenty of shocks and suspense to keep you watching . this is why i prefer asian horror to hollywood , you don ' t need tonnes of blood to make a good movie . white ghost just edges out black ghost for me as the storyline is more hard hitting but black ghost appears to be more faithful to the original ju on . if you ' re still wondering whether to buy it or not , i say just buy it . it ' s only a fiver ! !\nju - on was typical for most asian movies of it ' s type . innocent people being killed for no other reason than being associated with the cursed house .\nju - on : black ghost nurse yuko is left in charge of a young girl called fukie , and begins to experience strange things . medical examinations reveal that there is a ' cyst ' in fukie ' s body . the cyst is actually an unborn one that is full of hatred for mankind and curses everyone around her . yuko ' s neighbour is taken by a girl in black , and fukie ' s father commits a murder and goes insane . fukie ' s mother has to rely on the special psychic powers of fukie ' s younger sister to help drive out the evil spirit . however , the exorcism eventually fails , and the worst grudge yet begins .\nakane begins seeing visions of a female ghost wearing the same yellow hat and red satchel she wore as a school child .\nit is an interesting film . scary in the right places and utilizing the slow build - up and disjointed segments that shimzu used so well in his films . it is a homage and as such does not rely on blazing originality to make it\u2019s point . at 61 minutes it is better to watch this one with it\u2019s \u2018sister\u2019 film ju - on : black ghost to give you a more \u2018cinematic\u2019 feeling when you\u2019re done rather than the\u2019special of the week\u2019 feeling that a film just over an hour long leaves you with .\nas i am sitting here finishing this article , i have been playing the white ghost on the telly . i have decided that the basketball playing grandma was much scarier when she was alive .\nblack ghost ( when compared to white ghost ) seems to be viewed as the lesser of the two , and i can see why . however i didn\u2019t think it was that bad , although if i had to choose it would be white ghost . just like white ghost , this kicks off with the ending , as the narrative moves between characters , differing viewpoints and timelines . nurse yuko is left in charge of a young girl named fukie , and begins to experience strange occurrences . a medical examination reveals that she has developed a cyst in her body . the hatred of an unborn child is feeding off the girl , and cursing the people around her . this is\u2026\ni really liked this when i first saw it on netflix . same twists and turns that i love with the asian style of horror . if you like the ju - on movies , this one is quite different but not in a bad way . new characters and storyline made this stand apart from the original ju - on , but same suspense and fear as the originals . i watched it twice the day i got it . love it !\nthese films are different from the other ju - on films , as they mainly focuse on the yokota and isobe families and get away from the saeki family and their house . the only members of the saeki family who appeared in these films are toshio and mar .\nthematically , the method of the ju - on curse also seems to have shifted , from ghosts killing people , to people killing people , with some unwelcome hints of incestuous paedophilia thrown in .\ni just viewed the ju - on : white ghost . some spoilers ahead . remember miho isobe inspecting the kitchen and found a crumpled picture of a family of three . although the family did not look as saekis at the first glance ; they are pictured almost similar as they were portrayed in the other ju - on movies . this leads me to conclude that this house may belong to saekis , and the murders did happen in that house . that ' s why it is mentioned that the isobes acquired the house at a cheap price .\nthe way all the previous films intertwined their characters ' lives . . . and deaths . this is scarier , better shot and better paced , but also strays further from the ju - on mythos into\non his request , the sensitive sister of a real estate agent visits a house he intends to put on sell , only to cross paths with its resident curse .\ni love this movie the same reason why some others might hate it : it ' s different . sure , it doesn ' t have our lovely kayako ( though toshio ' s guest appearance is a different story ) , but it ' s a new slate . people have complained about how predictable ju - on has become , but with old lady in white and girl in black , there are some new twists .\nmy second ju - on movie for the night . this is the second of the films that were produced in honour of the tenth anniversary of the original ju - on movie . this one is directed by mari asato and the overall theme is the same although done in a slightly different way . the one with the grudge this time is an unborn twin that resides inside the other twin . i believe the term is fetus in fetu .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nclick on a date / time to view the file as it appeared at that time .\nlast year , to mark the tenth anniversary of the ' series ' , two more ju - on films appeared , produced the same way as the first two , by shooting cheaply on location and on video . with two different directors , the video - look distances these from shimizu ' s current movie series . he ' s still promising a third grudge movie for japan , not to be confused with the american\nthe 2004 pic starred sarah michelle gellar , cost around $ 10 million , grossed $ 187 million worldwide and hatched a sequel . it was based on the japanese horror thriller ju - on by takashi shimizu . gellar played a nurse in tokyo who was afflicted by a curse that created uncontrollable rage and was pretty much fatal .\nok i am watching white ghost as i am typing this and i have jumped about 4 times . it is seriously jumpy ! so far , the story line is actually ok , is linking quite well with the original ju - on ' s but not too much to make it part of the sequel . i like actually . i like a lot ! terrifying though , don ' t watch alone at night !\ni didn ' t like this one as much as white ghost . i thought the story was more confusing and had to look at the plot on wikipedia afterwards to clear things up . the film appeared to drag aswell , which is not a good thing when you consider\u2026\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nfollowing the events of ju -

on ) was one of the films that , for me , kicked off my interest in japanese horror films . along with the ring , it was the first time in years i ' d actually found myself creeped out by horror films and i voraciously devoured many of the stranger offerings that were available on the market .\nthe haunted stomach body horror moment was the only real thing to stay with me on this one .\nnotable moment : when the grandma ghost charges at the girl in the bathroom . this really comes out of nowhere and catches the viewer off guard . although , it is a cheap scare .\nthis series isn ' t called\nthe grudge\n, as you wrote several times in this review . it ' s called\nju - on\n. the grudge is the title of the american series , and you shouldn ' t even lump them together !\nin this seventh installment of the ju - on franchise , a school teacher visits the home of a boy who ' s been absent from school for a long period of time , unaware of the horrific tragedy which occurred in the boy ' s household many years ago .\nthough after spending time with the entire movie and its sister film \u201cblack ghost\u201d , i found that all stems from a girl named fukie who is born with a rare condition called \u201ccystoma\u201d . cystoma is what they call it when a twin is present inside the body feeding off the host ( essentially born \u201cinto\u201d the body rather than arriving in typical fashion ) . the cystoma becomes a jealous unborn spirit that sabotages the host and releases the initial ju - on of this story . when fukie becomes ill , she is put under the care of a local hospital . the mother invites a woman named mariko who as a specialist is taxed with having to kill the unwanted spirit within fukie . though this backfires and set the who mess into play .\nthe plot of this film revolves around a cyst found in a young girl ( fukie ) that is the result of her ingesting her unborn twin while in her mother\u2019s uterus . sound familiar ? if it does , it\u2019s not because it was ever used as a plot device in any of the original ju - on films .\ni\u2019ve tried finding the original japanese ju - on films here , but haven\u2019t had much luck on netflix or anything . i\u2019d imagine they\u2019re worth purchasing though . i\u2019ve mentioned before that i thought the us version of the grudge was the scariest \u2018hollywood\u2019 film i\u2019d seen in a really long time , and that noise she makes was a ongoing scare tactic in our house for many years afterwards . does the us version even hold a light to the original japanese versions ?\nin summary , i enjoyed the film more for its writing than for actual scares . it doesn\u2019t get as crazy as those \u201ctomio\u201d films but still manages to feel like a part of the whole ju - on franchise . give it whirl at least once . it\u2019s worth checking out and provides a well thought out story to experience .\nas their curse spreads on all around , the ghosts find their chance to live once again through the pregnancy of a cursed woman .\neasier to follow than white ghost but still no less of a mess . i found myself laughing like an idiot through some scenes , but this will happen when the little girls name sounds like\nfuck yeah\n( it ' s fukie ) .\nfilme fraco ao contr\u00e1rio do seu irm\u00e3o white ghost . todo o trabalho t\u00e9cnico em volta do filme \u00e9 muito ruim . a coisa mais legal do filme \u00e9 a cena final , que apesar de maneira , pode ficar esquecida por conta das grandes falhas do filme .\ngot mine today and it will not play on my dvds player . may return it but it ' s a hassle . very disappointed : (\nnew book of illustrated \u201cscary stories to tell in the light\u201d launching on kickstarter june 11th . * fully funded * as of 6 / 20 / 18\njwgbg takes advantage of its segmented approach by introducing new stories and historical events all tied together to the initial ju - on event . the chapters are named accordingly under character names such as \u201cakane\u201d , \u201cmirai\u201d , \u201cisobe\u201d , and \u201cchiho\u201d . in our journey we get a hefty helping of murder , haunting , terror , incest , revenge , betrayal , possession and of course\u2026 . . supernatural .\nhow many stories can we fit into sixty minutes ? a delivery driver delivers a christmas cake to a house , a father sees his daughter off to school and discovers something horrific on his backseat , akane , a student , uses a ouija board , a young family move into a house , the delivery driver and his girlfriend celebrate christmas , a young school girl falls victim to her predatory uncle , a policeman learns of a family massacre and a voice on a tape that won ' t be destroyed , a family contend with failure and disappointment revealing the events that lead up to the hanging at the start of the film before we discover the nature of the ju - on and its connection to akane .\ns , with the narratives shifting back and forth in time , changing with each cut - to - black chapter break . but these new stories aren ' t closely linked to the old ones . there ' s a completely new house and i was disappointed that ( almost ) none of the regular characters appear to link it all back to the original ' grudge ' .\nalthough released separately in japan , these are wisely being sold as a double - bill on dvd in the uk , as both films last barely an hour .\ni have opted to review both these \u2018films\u2019 together as their total running time apiece is 61 minutes , hardly the length of your run - of - the - mill movie . despite their title\u2019s making use of the ju - on phrase that had been developed by film auteur takashi shimzu , these films have nothing to do with the original films that shot shimzu to such heights of popularity in the horror world .\nju - on : white ghost a son brutally and methodically murders all five of his family members after failing the bar exam . he then hangs himself . at the moment of his death , he made a cassette tape recording in which he can be heard saying ' i ' ll go , i ' ll go soon . . . ' . on the same tape can be heard the eerie sound of a young girl ' s voice . it is the voice of mirai , who was a friend of akane , whilst at primary school . mirai was a victim of the mass family slaughter incident . akane , who is now a senior high school student , has had a strong esp power since childhood . suddenly one day mirai appears in front of her , wearing the yellow cap and red backpack of a primary school student . the terror is just about to begin . . .\nthe supernatural is a given as the dead and the living are intertwined as you might expect from any asian ghost movie . the twists and cleverness here is a firm storyline that answers questions as it moves forward . fx are mostly minimal but still effective enough for providing a good haunting kind of experience .\nokay , mike . so we\u2019re sorta goin backwards here ! lol i couldn\u2019t find juon : the curse 1 or 2 , apparently because they were never released in the states . at the moment , i\u2019m really not up for importing and learning japanese ; maybe i will be ten minutes from now . \ud83d\ude42 anyway , we checked out juon : white ghost & black ghost , as they were on netflix , and though there were some eerie scenes and the like , i think you\u2019re right . i remember the us grudge with gellar being a lot freakier , and the grandma was definitely scarier when she was alive . xd still , i think we\u2019ve all definitely seen worse . i\u2019m still going to try the next two juon films , the japanese grudges , but is there anything else you\u2019d recommend that\u2019s just really freaky that we should look for ? gotta tell you up front , gore - scares aren\u2019t very scary for us ; we tear \u2019em apart in most cases . well , at least if the film is only relying on them , and nothing else . but if you know of anything really creepy atmospheric films , ( bump in the night types ) even if they happen to be gory , let me know ! netfliix is loaded with horror films right now , but i\u2019d rather go to an expert than trust a cover . \ud83d\ude42\nwe ' re treated to a series of short chapters filling out the sixty minute run time . some of these short moments feel like they are part of the story , others feel like they don ' t make much sense . they all feature an evil , dead embodiment of the grudge , in the form of a granny with a basketball , accompanied by a schoolgirl and lots of black hair .\nto leave comments ( or to get in touch ) click on ' comments ' at the end of each article . all text is copyright of mark a . hodgson .\nthe stories are creepy . first and foremost i guess that what matters in a horror movie . this takes several different experiences of different people with their own ju - on ghost . it wasn ' t clear that ' s what it was at first which was a little confusing when the stories would change suddenly and in the end i think they try to intertwine at least a couple of the stories but it was a little confusing after just one watch . probably after a few viewings it would be clearer , which is something i ' ve found with some japanese horrors . it ' s sort of obvious that they used some kind of mask to make each and every ghost look like the classic grudge lady ghost with a little bit of wrinkles ? they look like . the same but different . that ruined it a little for me but not enough to not make this creepy . the classic grudge noise is back and just as foreboding as ever . the quality of the movie seems like it was a tv movie or something but , it ' s the acting that makes this good and the japanese can act horror . i would recommend getting this if you ' re willing to watch it a few times and if you can get it cheap . i don ' t think it ' s worth paying a lot of money for but it ' s certainly worth a look .\nthe story which is written by director ry\u00fbta miyake and director mari asato is laid out in pieces that require the viewer to sit thru all of them to get the entire story ( much like a tv series might ) . the segments are filled with plenty of haunts and creepy spirits keeping the whole shebang within the tradition of other ju - on releases . really , combining the 2 under 1 re - release is almost \u201cessential\u201d to a solid viewing experience for this united release .\ni realy in to asian horror films because they put you on the edge of your chair its the sounds and acting but this one is very disapointing fake and cheap looking so think twice . . .\neven tho\nwhite ghost\ndoes provide some very , but very tensioned moments , i found it hard to take it seriously . i mean , after watching it , it ' s rather difficult to say that this one is worthy of a grade over 6 , cause let ' s face it , for a cheesy asian fun , it does the job , but if you in for some real scares with a over the top plot and development ,\nwhite ghost\nlooks like a cartoon ! again , don ' t get me wrong , dunno how , but when i saw it , it scared me out of my mind , cause the execution is very good , but if they were able to put it on screen like this , why didn ' t they try harder on the script part ? get a decent idea , make use of it , and put your name up there , with the rest of asia ' s greater horrors ! they did everything better than most such films , again , the plot is what killed it for me . check it out and you ' ll see what i ' m talking about ! cheers !\nhowever , if you ' re just getting into japanese horror ( shame on you ! ) , you ' ll probably be better starting with the earlier films and renting this one at a much later date .\nat a certain house , a son brutally and methodically murders all five of his family members after failing the bar exam . he then hangs himself , leaving behind a cassette recorder at the scene on which he can be heard saying , \u201cgo\u2026 go now . \u201d in unison with a strange female voice . that voice belongs to a victim of the family massacre , the elementary school best friend of teenager akane ( akina minami ) . when the two were young they wore yellow hats and red satchels to school . akane , who has a strong sense of the supernatural , soon begins seeing visions of a female ghost wearing a yellow hat and red satchel .\nother distractions include the christmas setting which has zero bearing on the story . it doesn ' t help that the characters put candles on their christmas cake and blow them out as if making a birthday wish . why ? now i ' m used to characters in horror movies acting illogically , but several of the characters ' motivations are quite puzzling . it ' s especially hard to believe any couple would start french -

( work with your gm if you prefer this path to selecting a specific deity . )\nthe parishioner said it was also important to respect the decisions of phillip and the rules and regulations of the anglican church .\ntuesday ' s meeting was seen by analysts as an attempt by mr joko , popularly known as jokowi , to gain support from 20 muslim clerics to prevent simmering sectarianism that has gripped jakarta in recent months from spreading elsewhere .\ntheir deity does . that ' s the whole point . the deity lets them use one kind of channeling and one kind only . if neutral deities give their clerics a choice , then it ' s obvious that any deity could , merely that good and evil deities don ' t .\ni was just wondering why , throughout the history of d & d , clerics ( indeed , all divine casters ) have not been able to cast identify and analyse dweomer . at the moment , if a priest wants to identify a magic item , he ' ll have to go grovelling in front of a wizard and beg him to cast it . it seems that clerics are just as proficient in * creating * magic items as wizards are , yet they are incapable of identifying them when they find them . i don ' t like to change the rules too much , but in my game i ' ve allowed clerics access to these spells ( except at one level higher to cast than a wizard casts it ) . am i doing the right thing ? or should things be kept as is ?\nthe playtest notes are not clear in regard to clerics . it specifically states how many spells wizards can learn . so do i just assume that a cleric learns one spell per level or do they have access to every cleric spell of their acquired spell level ?\nto add to the intrigue , the new minister at the centre of the debacle , the reverend canon martin louw , has resigned , but declines to comment .\nmost clerics are associated with a deity . when a cleric has a patron deity , his alignment must be the same as the deity ' s or within one step of his deity ' s alignment on either the lawful - chaotic axis or the good - evil axis , but not both . a cleric cannot be neutral ( that is , neutral on both the law - chaos and the good - evil axis ) unless his deity also is neutral . the table below shows the possibilities :\na spell with the [ evil ] discriptor is not an evil spell . it is a mechanical tag that is used to tell you how the spell interacts with the spell lists of classes such as the cleric , where they cannot cast a spell with an alignment discriptor opposed to their alignment or that of their god . the sole point of such discriptors is to prevent clerics of pelor from casting animate dead or clerics of nerull from casting consecrate . whether a spell is actually an evil act or not depends entirely upon what yardstick you are using to measure morality . are you going for moral objectivism ? subjectivism ? general common sense ? that should be the measure of the spell , not some discriptor put in place to make the rules system work the way the designers felt it should work .\na good deity chooses to give their champions the ability to channel positive energy . an evil deity chooses to give their champions the ability to channel negative energy . but here ' s where i get my logic from : a neutral deity lets their champions pick one or the other . this means that the clerics could learn either , but are simply only taught / imbued with one and not the other .\ncure spells specifically ( description of cure light wounds in the core rule book ) state that they involve the use of positive energy . evil clerics seem barred from the use of positive energy ( is this correct ? - certainly is for channeling powers ) , so does that mean that an evil cleric cannot cast cure light wounds , for example ?\nlike i said , its good for the game that evil clerics can heal , but it is not logical that a good cleric can ' t ( and he can ' t - that much is clear ) channel negative energy to inflict wounds on his enemies using the channel energy ability , but he can channel negative energy through a spell to inflict wounds on his enemies . i don ' t see how anyone can argue that is a logical position . i suspect the problem is that in designing the cure spells , the game designers should have avoided the concept that they involved channeling positive energy and instead focused on them being some form of\ntransmutation\nof the flesh or\nconjuration\nof new repaired flesh . anyway , the important thing is that whatever the logic , evil clerics can cure - so thanks for the feedback .\ni ' m thinking clerics can ' t identify magic items because\noh god , what does this thing do ?\nis not a particularly evocative prayer . seriously , though - clerics with the magic domain do get access to identify as a 2nd - level domain spell . the domain power also allows them to use staffs and scrolls with analyze dweomer , if they need to . anyway , that same wizard has to go begging the cleric for healing spells . from a meta - game perspective , the rules are set up so that characters usually can ' t do everything by themselves . this encourages inter - dependence and co - operation .\nper the cleric\u2019s instructions , mr . abdulmutallab made sure the plane was over american soil before attempting the attack .\norisons clerics can prepare a number of orisons , or 0 -

natal diocese , the right reverend rubin phillip .\ni ' ve always interpreted that distinction in clerics as a show of their innerselves . those able to channel positive energy are generally good , while those who channel negative energies are generally evil . even neutral characters tend to lean towards one or the other scale . or if lying in the smack middle of it , they choose their channel ability based on other characteristics .\n. . . . i ' m relatively new to the game and my group has a question : cure spells specifically ( description of cure light wounds in the core rule book ) state that they involve the use of positive energy . evil clerics seem barred from the use of positive energy ( is this correct ? - certainly is for channeling powers ) , so does that mean that an evil cleric cannot cast cure light wounds , for example ?\nthe government toughened its stance following the arab spring after it averted unrest by increasing salaries and other state spending but the brotherhood gained power elsewhere in the region .\nthe bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites . read more .\nthe abdulmutallab interviews were initially sought from the f . b . i . for a 2015 book about the life and death of the cleric . the times subsequently sued to obtain the documents , which the f . b . i . said should be secret to protect terrorism investigations .\nsources . what is specially prohibited is to engage in trade for the sake of gain . the buying and selling , however , which is necessary in the administration of the lands or the goods of a\nyou beat me to it . . . . . but you make my point on logic very well - the truth is that the confusion lies in the idea ( inadvertently encouraged by the limits on the channel energy ability ) that positive energy is good and negative energy is bad . this is of course not the case , rather it is the use you put positive or negative energy to , which is good or evil . a good cleric could cast mass inflict wounds to heal damage to an army of undead - in most cases that would be unlikely to be an act of\ngood\nand presumably a gm would deal with such an act accordingly . so the reality is that good and evil clerics can use spells which channel positive and negative energy ( provided the use them for the right purpose - or the gm will impose consequences ) - its a pity ( from a logic point of view ) that the game designers didn ' t take the same approach with the channel energy ability and allow good and evil clerics access to both positive and negative energy - leaving the gm to adjudge whether they were using it in a manner fitting their alignment and imposing consequences if they misused it .\nmost of the arcane / divine distinctions are rather . . . well . . . arcane . aside from making clerics even more versatile ( though not really any more powerful ) , i see no reason not to give them the identify tree . however , wizards are more adept at creating magic items : they can get a significant number of item creation feats as bonus feats .\nthe f . b . i . \u2019s decision in 2010 to keep the interview summaries secret led some critics to question the quality of the evidence against mr . awlaki . the 200 pages of redacted documents released to the times this week , on the order of a federal judge , suggest that the obama administration had ample firsthand testimony from mr . abdulmutallab that the cleric oversaw his training and conceived the plot .\nthere have been some reports of indians going to fight for the group in iraq and syria , but the numbers are low relative to the size of the population .\n\u201cthe formula which i am trying to adopt is a peaceful negotiated settlement of this ayodhya issue . the ram mandir should be built on the site of the babri masjid , and the mosque should be constructed a few yards away from the temple but in the same premises , \u201d he added .\nwithout title to a special church . they were received into the sacred ministry by the\nsecurity around the historic building has been beefed up after the issue came to notice .\nbut the tail has a deadly sting . even though only 24 , 000 children missed the vaccine , the who officials said failure to vaccinate in small pockets of the country gave the virus a fresh toehold to spread .\nmore than 2 billion children have been immunised against the disease since 1988 . the who estimates that because of the initiative five million fewer people have been paralysed by the disease .\n, as the apostles and seventy -

quote on any forthcoming 3d blu - ray releases .\nlook , it might seem odd to focus so much on channing tatum in this review , but let\u2019s face it : not only is he the star of this movie , but one gathers that this entire film was crafted to put tatum on our radars . a few years ago , 300 came out of nowhere to put both zack snyder and gerard butler on the map , and while the eagle and 300 don\u2019t have all that much in common story - wise , one could reasonably assume that focus features ( who distributed the film here in the states ) was hoping for a similar outcome : a relatively cheap swords - and - sandals - and - mud - and - muscles movie where brawny dudes bark orders at one another whenever they\u2019re not fighting , starring a guy that\u2019s been hovering on the edge of stardom for awhile now , directed by a dude who\u2019s made a couple of reasonably successful films ( in macdonald\u2019s case , it\u2019s touching the void and the last king of scotland ) .\nout of all the reviews i ' ve read , a ton of people hated supercross so i guess i ' m 1 of the very few who actually enjoyed it . i think it was a pretty good movie . i wouldn ' t watch it again anytime soon but i could see myself watching it again in another couple years . the story has been done a million times before but this time the story is set in the world of motorcross . it has enough going for it that it should keep you entertained for 1 hour & 20 minutes & if you ' re not entertained , the little 1 ' s will most definitely be , if you have little 1 ' s . i don ' t understand why it got so much hate . it ' s not going to win any awards but in my\u2026\na jungian din of booming drums , bum - vibrating synth chords , and cawing string effects that loses much of its power by refusing to shut up , even when silence or ambient war noise might have been just as effective , or more so . the overuse of zimmer ' s music has been an issue throughout nolan ' s career , but here may become an object of debate . the situations and images are so vivid that the score often seems to be trying to rescue a film that doesn ' t need its help .\nif somebody were to ask me if i liked this film , i would tell them no . i loathed parts of it and found other parts repetitious or half - baked . but , maybe paradoxically , i admired it throughout , and have been thinking about it constantly since i saw it . even the aspects of\ndunkirk\nthat didn ' t sit right with me are all of a piece . this is a movie of vision and integrity made on an epic scale , a series of propositions dramatized with machines , bodies , seawater and fire . it deserves to be seen and argued about . they don ' t make them like this anymore . never did , really .\none could make a case that this amounts to over - intellectualization of a strong , simple tale . but that ' s been nolan ' s m . o . from\nfollowing\nand\nmemento\nonward , and i ' d be lying if i said it didn ' t fascinate me , even if a particular film isn ' t doing much for me scene - to - scene . it has often been said that trauma wreaks havoc with one ' s perceptions of time . this is one of the few works i can think of that considers that idea over the course of a whole feature , not just in self - contained sequences . ( the backbone of zimmer ' s score , appropriately , is a ticking clock . )\nlean and ambitious , unsentimental and bombastic , overwhelmingly guy - centric , christopher nolan ' s world war ii epic\ndunkirk\nshowcases the best and worst of the director ' s tendencies . the best win out and the worst recede in memory when you think back on the experience\u2014provided that you want to remember\ndunkirk ,\na movie that ' s supposed to be grueling and succeeds . less of a war film and more of a disaster ( or survival ) picture , it ' s an ensemble work that chronicles the evacuation of british soldiers who got trapped in the harbor and on the beaches of dunkirk , france , in late may and early june of 1940 , with the germans , who had driven allied forces practically out to sea , closing in for one last sweep .\ni was more on - the - fence about the movie ' s intricate narrative construction , but once the film ' s visceral impact had faded , it was there that my mind wandered . like most of nolan ' s films ,\ndunkirk\nis obsessed by the relative perception of time . this is emphasized here by the cross - cutting of lee smith . smith has edited all of nolan ' s movies since\nbatman begins\n\u2014including\ninterstellar ,\nwhich is explicitly about the idea of time passing more quickly or slowly depending on where you are .\ndunkirk\ntells us in its chapter - like opening titles that one major subplot takes place over a week , another in a day , and yet another in one hour . then the movie hops between them in ways that compress and expand time for poetic effect\u2014making , say , a plane ' s run that probably took thirty seconds seem to take exactly as long as a sea rescue that lasted hours .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant - man and the wasp ' | showtimes\n\u00a9 urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . all rights reserved . box office mojo and imdb are trademarks or registered trademarks of urltoken , inc . or its affiliates . terms of use and privacy policy under which this service is provided to you .\nrobert carradine ( clay sparks ) , sophia bush ( zoe lang ) , robert patrick ( earl cole ) , cameron richardson ( piper cole ) , mike vogel ( trip carlyle ) , channing tatum ( rowdy sparks ) , aaron carter ( owen cole ) , steve howey ( k . c . carlyle )\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nfaced with the suspicious death of their father , two brothers must motivate one another to get back on their bikes and take the las vegas motocross championships by storm .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

film review - by avi offer - score : 9 . 85 / 10\nrokab explains biomimicry , filmmaking as a spiritual practice , and directing liam neeson , who provides the narration for her film .\nvarious theorists talk about the need to get away from the idea that people are supposed to subdue the earth and toward the view that we are part of an interconnected planetary organism of sorts . the era of humans , we\u2019re reminded , represents only a tiny fraction of earth\u2019s existence , and across those eons the planet has been continually evolving in ways that support a diversity of life . we need to figure out our place in this biosphere rather than try to conquer and exploit it .\nthese ideas are presented via various talking heads and a narration read by liam neeson that represents \u201cthe voice of sapiens , \u201d while endless slow - motion footage of animals , plants and people rolls by . hard realities , though , are nowhere to be found .\nsome of these experts like to talk in the \u201cwe\u201d : \u201cwe\u2019re starting to realize that we\u2019re all kin , we\u2019re all cousins , \u201d brian swimme , a cosmologist , says in a segment that notes how much dna humans share with trees . but who is this \u201cwe\u201d ? no one in this film acknowledges that a large number of humans deny global warming and still cheer the line \u201cdrill , baby , drill\u201d when politicians hurl it .\nas that partial list indicates , the documentary , brief as it is , comes to feel like an environmental college course taken five minutes at a time . the segments are divided by relevant quotations by the likes of alan watts , rachel carson and john muir , among others . but most of all , there ' s scenery , lots of it , both of the animal and plant variety , with a special emphasis on beautiful creatures frolicking in the wild . and speaking of beautiful creatures , there is frequent footage of hunky fathers and their adorable children playing on the beach , suggesting that unattractive people just aren ' t very natural .\nfor all the information presented , the film is insufficient on details , instead stressing the fairly obvious importance of such things as eating natural foods and getting fresh air . the heavy - handed narration is delivered by liam neeson , representing mankind as the voice of\nsapiens .\ntalk about typecasting !\nand finally , it ' s all accompanied by a musical score so heavy - handed it would have been rejected as too treacly by the new age record label windham hill .\nthe film means well , it really does . and there ' s no denying that it has many valuable lessons to impart . the irony is , of course , that if you really heeded its message you ' d stop watching and go outside .\ndistributor : in the light productions director - producer - editor : sylvie rokab screenwriters : sylvie rokab , fernanda rossi directors of photography : rohan chitrakar , sylvie robab , eriberto almeida jr . composer : francois - paul aiche narrator : liam neeson\npresents a compelling case that reconnecting with the natural world is the key to improving personal health and ensuring our survival on earth .\nevery once in awhile , a film presents statistics that stop you in your tracks .\n, an uplifting and beautifully choreographed film about the interconnectedness of the world , has a few important factoids for you to noodle on .\na beautiful and inspiring depiction of our planet and all of the things that make it worth cherishing and saving . anthropology of course knows that homo sapiens has invented many stories and myths to account for its relation to or dominion over the earth . but the film argues that we have reached the limit of a perspective that the world is just here for human use .\nwe scored 57 major furniture retail companies on the existence , availability and quality of their wood sourcing policies , as well as for visibly selling products made from recycled or reclaimed wood .\nit looks like you may be having problems playing this video . if so , please try restarting your browser .\naccompanying the soft - spoken talking heads and the artfully posed groupings of slender , attractive younger people cavorting with mother earth is gently reflective but oddly muffled narration by liam neeson ( identifying himself as a character called sapiens ) , who sounds like he was recorded in a bathroom .\nalthough the film is commendable for trying to caution audiences of the usual pressing ecological concerns without scaring them into a guilt - ridden stupor , it still cries out for much greater depth and perspective .\nmovie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\ncollect bonus rewards from our many partners , including amc , stubs , cinemark connections , regal crown club when you link accounts .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nalso sign me up for fanmail to get updates on all things movies : tickets , special offers , screenings + more .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nchoose 1 of 2 free * posters with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' ant -

a teapot , a candelabra and a mantel clock , among others - and ultimately learns to see beneath the beast ' s exterior to discover the heart and soul of a prince . - - ( c ) disney\noriginally , gaston was going to stab the beast a second time before beast knocked him off . in addition , an even earlier rendition of the scene had him ready to kill beast with his blunderbuss , with belle preventing him by smashing him in the head with a slab . gaston would land onto the ground , and then be mauled by the wolves that belle and maurice encountered earlier .\nthe first animated film to ever earn a best picture oscar nomination , this is as good as anything ever produced by the studio .\nthe message of this film is about love . and it ' s about the fact that love conquers all , and love can transform . and you see the beast not only become worthy of being loved , but he also learns to love himself . and that ' s the main message of this film ,\nshe says .\nthe film is incredibly diverse \u2013 every race , colour , creed , orientation . at its heart it ' s still a family film , but it ' s about seeing into who each of us truly is on the inside and celebrating that . i just feel bad for those who are going to not see it because they think there ' s some subversive message there .\nit is a story that everyone knows \u2014 the tale as old as time . yet , somehow , the live - action digital remake of \u201cbeauty and the beast\u201d still dazzles and leaves the audience longing to be a part of its enchanting world , even after 26 years . it is a difficult task to take a disney masterpiece and make it unique and fresh , but director bill condon ( \u201cdream girls , \u201d \u201cgods and monsters\u201d ) does exactly that in his first film with walt disney pictures .\ncatherine and vincent track a mysterious beast while keeping their individual agendas from one another in a clever game of cat -

peasant - turned - princess will soon be gracing the big screen once again . harry potter star emma watson will star in disney ' s live - action take on beauty and the beast as belle , while dan stevens will play the beast and luke evans will play gaston . the official trailer is making us so excited for the movie ' s premiere on march 23 , 2017 . the fairy tale has come a long way from its 18th - century french origins . let ' s look at the evolution of the fairy tale in pop culture , from classic books to the latest film and tv interpretations !\nproduction of beauty and the beast had to be completed on a compressed timeline of two years rather than four because of the loss of production time spent developing the earlier purdam version of the film . most of the production was done at the main feature animation studio , housed in the air way facility in glendale , california . a smaller team at the disney - mgm studios theme park in lake buena vista , florida assisted the california team on several scenes , particularly the\nbe our guest\nnumber .\n\u201cbeauty and the beast\u201d tells the story of belle , whose father has been taken prisoner by a terrifying beast , a prince under a magic spell . the disney original animated version was released on november 22 , 1991 and became an instant classic . two of television\u2019s favorites and past tony winners angela lansbury voiced ms . potts and jerry orbach voiced lumiere . thanks in no small part to the original music and score , condon convinced disney that a live action version would need to be a musical because the audience would miss the songs .\nset in the 1800s , the french fairy tale epic features lea seydoux as belle and vincent cassell as the beast in a plot closer to the original story and reminiscent of cocteau\u2019s 1946 version , though it received mixed reviews .\nbeauty and the beast was the second film produced using caps ( computer animation production system ) , a digital scanning , ink , paint , and compositing system of software and hardware developed for disney by pixar . the software allowed a wider range of colors , as well as soft shading and colored line effects for the characters , techniques lost when the disney studio abandoned hand inking for xerography in the late 1950 ' s . caps also allowed the production crew to simulate multiplane effects : placing characters and / or backgrounds on separate layers and moving them towards / away from the camera on the z - axis to give the illusion of depth , as well as altering the focus of each layer .\nspeaking of , well , speaking up , mcdonald has been vocal about political and social issues , especially marriage equality ( she joined twitter in 2009 specifically to promote that cause with the handle @ audraequalitymc ) , so she ' s pleased to be in the first disney movie to feature ( however subtly ) an openly gay character . although it does sadden her that there ' s been a negative response from some groups to that aspect of the film .\ni wish i had read carefully that the book was a translation from french before ordering . still , the story behind the making of the most important film of french cinema is amazing and makes appreciating it more complex and layered . highly recommend .\none cannot help but to compare this\nbeauty and the beast\nwith the disney cartoon , given that it hews so closely to the original cartoon version . at times in the beginning , the films seemed shot - for - shot duplicates . in that light , the live - action music , characters and singing just aren ' t as\nbig\nas those in the animated film . however , making such a comparison , is not fair to this live - action version , which itself is very fine . the sets and costumes are spectacular . the cgi is ( mostly ) impressive . ( just avoid looking at the beast ' s face throughout the film and you ' ll think it was faultless . ) the music is marvelous on its own , even if most of the new numbers are lackluster . this version is a definite five - star film on its own , which would be clearly evident it it didn ' t have to measure up to its predecessor .\ndirected by french poet jean cocteau , this surrealist fantasy takes the story of true love taming a savage , lonely heart seriously and portrays it with lavish visuals and dreamlike effects . the film inspired stevie nicks\u2019 1983\nashman died of aids -

dimensional .\nbelle and the beast , kids know it , adults enjoy it also , but this new take on the story sees a scantily clad belle and a beast who looks like an elderly 4 times a week sunbed user , the acting is appalling , the direction is akin to that of a blind man trying to describe an object he has never encountered , in this movies case - talent - , bad script , poor acting and a frankly diabolical cast make this a terrifyingly dull and slow moving film , unsuitable for anyone with an iq score . please be aware that this is a great film for the mentally infirm and the members of our thc squad who no doubt will be enthralled to find this in the bargain bin at the nearest ( every ) gas station . avoid this film , i urge you , although , if you don ` t believe me , go ahead and rent it from your local rental store , just don ` t complain when the film is over and you realise you slept through it all .\nmatthias weidenh\u00f6fer matthias weidenh\u00f6fer was born in achim , germany . he studied acting at the film university in potsdam -

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

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

like state \u2013 including melanie ( played by sennia nanua ) . when melanie\u2019s school is attacked , her teacher ( gemma arterton ) and a soldier ( paddy considine ) must help her reach safety\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nit would seem that there really isn ' t a reason to read the book over seeing the novel , or vice versa , given their similarities , but the main advantage of the novel is , as is usually the case , further character development , which arises mainly from carey ' s technique of switching between the povs of the novel ' s main players . but beyond this , the novel gets more in depth with the science behind the fungal infection , and it all sounds alarmingly plausible . so if you ' d prefer a lot more scientific and psychological exploration , pick up the book , but if you ' re mainly interested in the story , watch the film\u2014though as always , i would strongly encourage you to experience both , as they are both time well spent . just like the hungry children who set out to replace humanity as we know it , it is my hope that more narratives like the girl with all the gifts emerge in the future , to wipe out the stagnation of the zombie subgenre and replace it with the smart , sociologically perceptive horror narratives we all came to love\u2014narratives that innovate rather than regurgitate , thrill rather than bore .\nin many ways , melanie ( sennia nanua ) is just another ordinary girl . she goes to school every day , where she\u2019s grown affection for her teacher ms . justineau ( gemma arterton ) . and she\u2019s at that age where she\u2019s figuring out what\u2019s important to her , and how to navigate through the world of adults around her . but melanie is not an ordinary girl . she will soon be a mindless , soulless zombie , a braindead creature who responds only to a desire to kill and eat people around her . in fact , with the right triggers\u2014like if the adults around her forget to wear their scent - disguising lotion\u2014she could become that right now . just when you thought the zombie genre was out of ideas , along comes colm mccarthy \u2019s smart and engaging \u201cthe girl with all the gifts , \u201d a film with echoes of george a . romero , danny boyle , and robert kirkman but one that also feels confidently its own creation , a unique take on responsibility , adulthood , and a new chapter in evolution .\nmonday 5 march / 5 . 30pm -

based on the novel of the same name . i say \u2018semi - based\u2019 , because although the book was released first , m . j . carey wrote both the novel and the screenplay at the same time . this gives the film a unique narrative base as instead of standing on the shoulders of its source material , it runs in tandem alongside it . carey was also heavily involved in the production of the film itself , and there is a real unified vision between the director and author of what the film should be . this unity lends itself to some fantastically crafted material , such as the claustrophobic opening that is beyond unsettling .\nthe biggest challenge creatively for colm , and logistically for me , was to find the right little girl to play melanie and we met a lot of girls . it sounds impossibly romantic but sennia is the last girl we met . i wasn\u2019t there but colm went to nottingham because of the tv workshop and he said \u201cthere is one more girl and she is amazing\u201d . he sent me her tape and said i had to watch it . on monday we got her down to london to do a chemistry read with gemma and we just knew instantly .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 penske business media , llc . all rights reserved . hollywood\u2122 & design \u00a9 2018 hollywood chamber of commerce . the hollywood sign is a trademark and intellectual property of hollywood chamber of commerce . all rights reserved .\ni looked at so many other places before i saw images of lapland . the director and i got on a plane and we knew that was it . we had 23 crew living in a log cabin together , all working like dogs all day . it was the ultimate filming experience and we were left with a film that looked amazing . it was financed through the bfi who had a short scheme through a brighton company called lighthouse .\nit ' s all fairly interesting if less than captivating , driven mostly by nanua ' s bright performance .\nexercise or upkeep costs with the exception of annually for simple individual retirement . urltoken which is much longer compared to with lots of various other brokers .\nso very disappointed with the film ! the book was amazing -

and paper . panzram writes over 40 , 000 words documenting his entire life of incarceration , torture , rape , and murder .\nthat\u2019s exactly what special collections director robert ray found recently when a hollywood producer came to campus to look at the collection of carl panzram papers , which are held in the department .\ncarl panzram is sent to leavenworth prison for burglary . while there , he is brutally beaten by a guard . neophyte guard henry lesser feels sympathy for panzram , befriends him , and gets him . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe film includes footage of panzram ' s handwritten papers , leavenworth penitentiary , the clinton correctional facility , the minnesota correctional facility \u2013 red wing , and an exclusive interview with panzram ' s jail guard , henry lesser .\n\u201cit was in the acknowledgments section of a book where i read it mentioned that san diego state university special collections holds the original handwritten panzram autobiographical papers , \u201d borowski said . \u201cit also stated that henry lesser , panzram ' s prison guard and friend , donated the panzram papers to the university . \u201d\njason schubert , curator of the j . m . davis gun museum ( which keeps several panzram related paraphernalia , including the rope he was hanged by )\nand yet , almost 100 years of daily aztec issues ( and previous incarnations the normal news and the paper lantern ) survive in special collections .\nother extras include : production stills ( accompanied by a song about panzram ) , trailers and a detailed view of joe coleman ' s panzram portrait ( which is helpful indeed , considering this artist ' s style of collage with numerous very tiny and minute details , photos , drawings and quotes otherwise hard to decipher ) .\nit is an expensive and painstaking process because of the sheer number of items in any given archive and the manpower needed to delicately scan them all . however , digitization dovetails perfectly with the mission of special collections , which is to preserve and provide access to the university\u2019s holdings in support of research and teaching .\namong the serial killers , and his words have the power to resonate like the best lines from hemingway , chandler and william burroughs : clear , cruel , vivid , witty and precisely to the point . no bullshit there . no - nonsense , straight for the jugular , that ' s panzram for you .\nas he grew into manhood he , among other things , joined the army and found that it was just another form of prison for him . he only lasted a few months before he ended up in the army prison for three years for theft . in those three years he became physically stronger and upon his release he described himself as \u201cthe spirit of meanness personified\u201d and his hatred of his fellow man grew stronger . over the years he was a guest of hundreds of jails , a few prisons and detention centers and he tells of all the abuse / punishment he underwent while he was there . none of it broke him , all of it made him harder , angrier , meaner and during the few periods of his life where he was a free man he made a point to commit as many crimes , murders , rapes that he could claiming that \u201cmany a man has paid for what those men had done to me\u201d .\nthe quality of the films i get to review for this fine website amaze me to no end . one day i\u2019ll get the cinematic equivalent of bilge water ( \u201c panman \u201c ) and then i\u2019ll get something like this little flick which , upon reading the title , i just knew was going to be awful . instead i found that this is the rather gripping story of one carl panzram , who just might have been the craziest yet most sane man alive before his execution on september 5th , 1930 .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nwhile helping borowski browse the archives , ray realized that neither he , nor anyone else in special collections , knew why lesser donated the panzram papers to sdsu . if he could locate coverage of the 1979 lecture in the daily aztec , perhaps he could find the link between a killer , his prison guard and the university .\nof them all . he was not partial in his hatred because he did not hate only women , blacks , jews , hookers . . .\ni don ' t believe in man , god nor devil ,\nhe wrote .\ni hate the whole damned human race , including myself .\nhe had no hopes , no illusions about either himself or the world which he saw it in all its depraved and brutal clarity .\ni wish you all had one neck and that i had my hands on it\nsaid the man who described himself as\nthe spirit of meanness personified\n.\npervert park follows the everyday lives of the sex offenders in the park as they struggle to reintegrate into society .\nan experimental documentary that uses archival footage , interviews , and fictionalized scenarios to tell the story of the people around jeffrey dahmer , during the summer of his arrest in 1991 .\nclocking at 80 minutes , the film could certainly use some more material without being overlong or repetitive . the extra features on the dvd actually contain many scenes which could ' ve been used in the film . for example , most of the deleted scenes ( approx 10 minutes of them ) deserve to be in the film itself , as they contain telling information and add further shades of panzram ' s character ( esp . the issue of being truthful and / not / honoring his word ) .\nthe film \u2013 instead , it offers many additional pieces of interviews and re - enactments not seen in the film proper .\nbrilliant story of how a brilliant , intelligent man ' s life can go so wrong through abuse and neglect . born and raised under different circumstances , carl panzaram could have been a great perspicacious doctor of psychology , one of the worlds greatest , most imaginative novelists , poets or philosophers . he was certainly no slouch , he was imaginative intuitive , resourceful and inspired . not surprisingly he turned to hate and violence after so much abuse and neglect .\n( best known as the voice of bender from futurama ) : he reads numerous well - chosen quotes from panzram ' s writings using a grave whisper somewhat reminiscent of kiefer sutherland ' s\npsycho\nvoice .\n\u201cdigitization fosters the discovery of previously unknown relationships and ultimately , new knowledge , \u201d ray said .\nthere are many experts here discussing what might have made panzram so evil and they discuss a lot of the available evidence which seem to point out the direction carl went in as he grew older . he wrote that he had \u201clearned more about stealing , lying , burning , hating & killing\u201d from the reform school he grew up in than anything else . upon his release he became a hobo and was sodomized by four men in a boxcar which only made his resolve to dominate others stronger . he admits to sodmizing hundreds of men over the years , not for the physical pleasure but for the feeling of dominance it gave him .\nsadly life seemed to be against carl right from the beginning . he tells the story of a mastoid operation he underwent as a child that took place on his kitchen table as his family couldn\u2019t afford a proper procedure in a hospital and it is intimated that he might have suffered some sort of brain damage because of it . from then on he began his life of crime and we\u2019re told of the constant beatings he suffered as a child at reform school . it\u2019s never too long between beatings and one of the promises carl makes to himself is that he would \u201chave his revenge just as soon and as often as i could injure someone else , anyone at all will do . if i couldn\u2019t injure those who injured me then i would injure someone else\u201d . it\u2019s theorized that it was around this time that he began to think of himself as the worst of the worst , someone who could not be rehabilitated .\nnick broomfield digs into the case of the notorious serial killer known as the grim sleeper , who terrorized south central los angeles over a span of twenty - five years .\n( 1990 )

online and , using optical character recognition technology , enable full text searching of the documents .\nray never found the daily aztec coverage of the lecture , and , after copious research that sent him 100 miles south to san diego , borowski found only part of what he was looking for .\nconsidering that the special collections vault also holds such one - of - a - kind valuables as the first

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

story besides his mother . panzram only raped other men but he never calls himself a homosexual nor describes any overwhelming desire for men over women . he raped other men to assert his dominance over them , perhaps he felt that he was already dominant over women and that they had no real power to stop him as opposed to men who are physically bigger & stronger than women and would prove more of a challenge to him . in addition , he was only abused by males both in and out of prison so perhaps he felt that he had to enact his revenge over men only .\nborowski relocated back to chicago in

shooter ,\nis the most common handgun in the game , and is used by silas greaves and various outlaws during duels . it is the most balanced of the three revolvers , having moderate range , speed , power and accuracy , and is a starting weapon in most levels . the upgraded version is referred to as the\ninlaid six - shooter\n. it is anachronistic for about half the game .\nthe colt 1851 navy , called the\nranger ,\nis the game ' s most powerful and long - ranged handgun , but also the slowest - firing . it is largely based on the revolver used in the film the good , the bad , and the ugly as ammunition is inserted via a loading gate , and has similar rear sights . the reload animation is more or less the same from the remington 1890 and it has a squareback trigger guard of the very early production colt navy revolvers . the upgraded version is known as the\nengraved ranger\n.\ncolt 1851 navy with a cartridge conversion . this is a reproduction imported by cimmaron arms .\nreloading the colt 1851 navy . what seems to be an ejector rod is attached but never used .\nclose up of the colt 1851 navy . note how it has a percussion cap style cylinder despite using cartridges .\nthe model 1851 navy can be seen in the middle of the three real -

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

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

siasm . but it also bedeviled veteran confederate prisoners , especially during the last months of the war when southern defeat looked inevitable .\nthere seems to be some confusion both in the books and the tv series between the god of death and r ' hllor , the red god . it stems from a piece of dialogue spoken by jaqen h ' ghar in both mediums , in which he refers to the god he worships ( presumably the god of death , as he is a faceless man ) as the\nred god\n\u2014 that is , r ' hllor , the lord of light . while this confusion has yet to be cleared up , a likely explanation lies in the fact that the\nmany - faced god of death\nis a syncretic religion , which holds that every god or set of gods is just another facet of the god of death . another possibility is that , just like he ' s imitating the speech style of a lorathi , he also mentions the red god as part of his cover identity . in the show , arya hands jaquen an axe in time for the three prisoners to break their way out of their cage before it is consumed by fire - - which is how the lord of light doles his death . it is possible that if arya had rescued the men from drowning , then jaquen would have declared that arya stole three deaths from the drowned god , and the three subsequent kills would have been in the drowned god ' s name instead .\nblack prisoners also sometimes endured the indignity of mistreatment at the hands of white inmates . hostility to black soldiers stemmed partly from bigotry , but it also was rooted in the knowledge that the prisoner exchange system had fallen apart as a direct result of the introduction of black soldiers into the conflict . other white yankee prisoners , however , firmly supported the lincoln administration ' s decision to refuse exchanges until richmond agreed to include black prisoners in such trades .\nanyone , whatever may be his color , who wears the blue of uncle sam is entitled to protection ,\nwrote one captain imprisoned in a georgia stockade ( mitchell 1988 , p . 49 ) .\nwith events like these , men learned that dionysos was a god , and they began to honour him .\nthe many -

bad fantasy that is subtly designed to make white people feel good about their own guilt .\nwhen the parole system fell apart , the number of prisoners of war in both armies accelerated rapidly . captured soldiers typically spent their first hours of captivity knotted together in crowded holding pens or in places that could easily be converted into temporary corrals , such as gullies . after officers recorded their names , ranks , and unit affiliation , provost marshals sent captured prisoners off to various prison facilities . some fortunate prisoners were delivered to the gates of their prisons by train or boat , but most captured soldiers had to endure long marches on foot to reach their destination . by the end of the war , virtually all prisoners\u2014especially union prisoners of the confederate military , which was squeezing every last bit of logistical support out of its unraveling transportation network\u2014had to travel by foot to prison .\nthe entrance of black soldiers into the conflict was a great boon to the union war effort , but southern reaction to this development triggered a series of events that greatly increased the number of prisoners of war held by both sides . prior to the summer of 1862 , north and south had cobbled together a prisoner exchange and parole system that , despite some flaws , kept prisoner numbers relatively low . but the confederacy flatly refused to even consider exchanging captured black soldiers . instead , the administration of jefferson davis threatened to enslave captured blacks and execute their white officers . president abraham lincoln responded by vowing to reciprocate in kind : for every white officer the south executed , the north would execute a confederate prisoner ; for every black soldier reenslaved , the north would assign one of its prisoners hard labor . federal authorities also suspended union participation in the exchange system until the confederacy agreed to exchange black soldiers . this deadlock produced a tremendous upsurge in the number of prisoners held by both sides .\ndiese ersch\u00fctternde dokumentation von unserer fpcn schwesterorganisation uwip aus tschechien beschreibt die lage der akha in thailand und laos . fanatische missionare christianisieren die akha brutal , vertreibungen , kindesraub und gehirnw\u00e4sche sind an der tagesordnung . prisoners of a white god erhielt bereits internationale preise bei : grand prixes at raff film festival , at ecofilm festival , at festival of the mountain films , at\nit ' s up to you\nfilm festival and the main prize at ekotopfilm in 2008 !\nprisons and prisoners of war .\ngale library of daily life : american civil war . . encyclopedia . com .

[ 1 ]\ndionysos ( dionysus ) was the olympian god of wine , vegetation , pleasure , festivity , madness and wild frenzy . he was depicted as either an older , bearded god or an effeminate , long - haired youth . his attributes included the thyrsos ( a pine - cone tipped staff ) , a drinking cup and a crown of ivy . he was usually accompanied by a troop of satyrs and mainades ( wild female devotees ) .\ncadmean ino , foster - mother of shining bacchus , holds the realms of the deep , encircled by bands of nereids dancing ; over the waves of the mighty deep a boy holds sway , new come , the kinsman of bacchus , no common god , palaemon .\nthere are countless characteristics of dionysos for those who wish to represent him in painting or sculpture , by depicting which even approximately the artist has captured the god . for instance , the ivy clusters forming a crown are the clear mark of dionysos , even if the workmanship is poor ; and a horn just springing from the temples reveals dionysos , and a leopard , though but just visible , is a symbol of the god .\nthis site contains a total of 14 pages describing the god , including general descriptions , mythology , and cult . the content is outlined in the index of dionysus pages ( left column or below ) .\nfor black union soldiers who were thrown into southern stockades , conditions were so bleak that some lamented not dying on the battlefield . life for all prisoners of war was marked by pain , hunger , and feelings of hopelessness , but for black prisoners conditions were particularly harsh .\nwe were kept at hard labor and inhumanely treated ,\nrecalled one black unionist .\nif we lagged or faltered or misunderstood an order we were whipped and abused\u2026 . for the slightest causes we were subjected to the lash [ and ] we were very poorly provided for with food\n( speer 1997 , p . 113 ) . medical treatment for black prisoners was virtually nonexistent as well , and the shelter they received was frequently even more negligible than that provided to white prisoners . all told , blacks held in confederate prison camps died at a rate of 35 percent , more than twice the average for white captives ( speer 1997 , p . 113 ) .\nnot only that these people were suffered by the name of other means , but these people were suffering by the name of god and its intent and their organizations ' association .\ni found myself increasingly drawn to the idea that god had put me in prison for a purpose and that i should do something for those i had left behind .\ndionysos ' most distinctive attribute was the thyrsos , a pine - cone tipped staff . his other attributes included a drinking - cup ( kantharos ) , fruiting grapevines and a panther . the god was usually clothed in a long robe ( chiton ) and cloak ( himation ) and crowned with a wreath of ivy - leaves .\nsoon after , the rest surrendered , and the battle for goose green was over . we herded hundreds of prisoners into a huge shed . they were mainly conscripts and a pathetic lot , sheepishly scuffing the dirt with their boots .\n\u201cour goal is to encourage continued dialogue between the white house and the returning citizens community and to achieve a consensus on policy changes that will benefit marginalized communities , enhance public safety and value the lives of all god\u2019s children , \u201d desmond meade , state director of florida\u2019s live free campaign , said in a statement . \u201cit is important that the voices of returning citizens be heard at the highest level of government . today we served as the emissaries of over 6 million returning citizens throughout this nation . \u201d\nmalnutrition and hunger were typical of many of the civil war prison camps . food allocations were meager to begin with , and withholding rations emerged as a common means of reining in or otherwise modifying the behavior of prisoners . tales of malnutrition or starvation in enemy prison camps also prompted some reductions in food rations .\nnow christ again appears to the view of his enemies . far above the city , upon a foundation of burnished gold , is a throne , high and lifted up . upon this throne sits the son of god , and around him are the subjects of his kingdom . the power and majesty of christ no language can describe , no pen portray . the glory of the eternal father is enshrouding his son . the brightness of his presence fills the city of god , and flows out beyond the gates , flooding the whole earth with its radiance . . . .\nclassical literature offers only a few , brief descriptions of the physical characteristics of the gods .\nchuck colson was one of the most influential evangelical leaders of the past half century . after a career in hardball politics , he devoted his life to ministering to prisoners and sharing the gospel\u2019s message of love and hope to millions . his contribution to the growing cultural influence of evangelicals was difficult to overstate .\nthe whole wicked world stand arraigned at the bar of god on the charge of high treason against the government of heaven . they have none to plead their cause ;

( romania ) aferim ! is almost a black comedy except that the reality it portrays is a bit too awful to be funny . shot in black - and - white , the film takes place in wallachia in 1835 during a period in which turks were in charge and roma ( gypsies ) were slaves .\nembrace of the serpent ( el abrazo de la serpiente ) ( colombia ) shot in beautiful black - and - white , embrace of the serpent is a fictionalized account of the colonial destruction of amazonian tribes as seen through the eyes of karamakate , a shaman who believes the rest of his people have been killed by white invaders , and two explorer - scientists , german theo and american evan , who visit the jungle roughly thirty years apart , both in search of a rare healing flower . the story is inspired by the diaries of ethnologist theodor koch - grunberg , who made two extended expeditions into the amazon basin during the first two decades of the twentieth century , and richard evans schultes , a pioneer of ethnobotany and the study of psychoactive plants , who went there during world war ii . a fourth major character , manduca , who serves as theo ' s guide , represents those native people who believe that not all whites are evil .\nat other times , however , harris ' s account turns toward the emotionally crushing realities of captivity . aside from the physical pangs of empty stomachs and exposure , boredom and depression wore on the prisoners , who dreamed of being reunited with their loved ones :\nthere is only one god , and his name is death . and there is only one thing we say to death : ' not today ' .\nicons from lesser religions and cults are also honored in the house of black and white , including the hooded wayfarer , bakkalon the pale child , the moon - pale maiden , the merling king , and many others . [ 2 ]\nthis story was connected with the orgiastic thrakian cult of sabazios . in homer , the story is set during dionysos ' childhood , elsewhere he is an adult god travelling from land to land .\ndionysos was a son of zeus and the princess semele of thebes . during the course of her pregnancy , the god ' s jealous wife hera tricked semele into asking zeus to appear before her in his full glory . bound by oath , the god was forced to comply and she was consumed by the heat of his lightning -

fighting took place at the confederate prison at andersonville , georgia . conditions there were so awful that normal rules of civilized behavior and military brotherhood fell by the wayside . survivors recalled that the daily food allotment at andersonville generally consisted of three tablespoons of beans , a teaspoon of salt , and half a pint of unsifted cornmeal . a confederate doctor who worked at andersonville , meanwhile , reported that\nfrom the crowded conditions , filthy habits , bad diet , and dejected , depressed condition of the prisoners , their systems had become so disordered that the smallest abrasion of the skin , from the rubbing of a shoe , or from the effects of the sun , the prick of a splinter or the scratching of a mosquito bite , in some cases took on a rapid and frightful ulceration and gangrene\n( davis 1991 , p . 176 ) .\nthe recognition of the divinity of dionysos is applicable to all the previous stories of his wanderings .\nin the early stages of the civil war , feeding and sheltering captured enemy soldiers did not constitute a heavy burden for either the federal or confederate government . large battles occurred infrequently compared to later years , which served to limit the number of prisoners . in addition , despite president abraham lincoln ' s initial refusal to authorize prisoner exchanges\u2014a stance that stemmed from his belief that such negotiations might give the confederacy a veneer of legitimacy as a distinct nation and erode washington ' s efforts to frame the secessionists as a collection of treasonous agitators within an already established sovereign state\u2014field commanders frequently arranged informal prisoner exchanges . canny administrators on both sides of the conflict welcomed this approach , for they recognized that both the north and south were ill -

( eurip . bacch . 420 ; strab . x . p . 468 ; diod . iv . 4 . ) as the greek drama had grown out of the dithyrambic choruses at the festivals of dionysus , he was also regarded as the god of tragic art , and as the protector of theatres . in later times , he was worshipped also as a theos chthonios , which may have arisen from his resemblance to demeter , or have been the result of an amalgamation of phrygian and lydian forms of worship with those of the ancient greeks .

serious sense that we are watching something very important blissfully doesn ' t exist in ant - man . it ' s just plain fun : light , breezy , simple and enjoyable .\nwhile many critics found the fun in this take on a spider - man that\u2019s very much a teenager grappling with his super - heroic responsibilities , there were some dissenters . the hollywood reporter \u2018s john defore called homecoming an \u201coccasionally exciting but often frustrating film . \u201d variety \u2018s owen gleiberman pointed out the \u201caggressively eager and prosaic ya flavor , \u201d though he\u2019s not necessarily calling it a distractor .\nsurprisingly good for a film about one of the least interesting superheroes .\nant - man\nhas all the polished special effects , sets and costumes you would expect in the umpteenth superhero blockbuster - - but it ' s funnier and has more heart than the typical marvel tent pole . it ' s better than many that have come down the studio chute in the last few years .\n10 . before deciding to not have any music in the film ( aside from the famous\ntubular bells\ntheme that was the first giant hit for richard branson ' s virgin records ) , friedkin rejected two famous composers . the first was hitchcock collaborator bernard herrmann ( vertigo , psycho , north by northwest ) , who wanted to record a using a giant church organ and didn ' t want friedkin to have any involvement . the second was mission : impossible ' s lalo schifrin , who actually did gather an orchestra and record a dissonant score that friedkin hated , though it was used in an early , infamous trailer for the film .\nthis film was a best - selling film so the production company . . . it ' s a very cheap film in this semi - attached area . they thought it didn ' t cost so much and it had a very poor budget . i jumped off the project for sometime because i didn ' t think the people , the production company , had the same thoughts that i had . then they came up with a little bit more money so that we could come up with his bald hair , for example . they didn ' t even want to have a cat in the film . i fought for the cat . the budget was very ordinary . it was like $ 350 , 000 and it made $ 20 million .\ntoo many villains spoil the broth in this bloated conclusion to an otherwise successful trilogy . with spider - man battling best frenemy harry osborne , mutant dirtbag the sandman and an alien\nsymbiote\nthat would become venom , the film offered an overdose of action with little wit to spare . though definitely not the charm , raimi\u2019s third effort still grossed a whopping $ 890 million , keeping marvel\u2019s coffers tingling .\npeter parker balances his life as an ordinary high school student in queens with his superhero alter - ego spider - man , and finds himself on the trail of a new menace prowling the skies of new york city .\neverybody is after the money stolen by hook ( jim brown ) . including the villainous chief guard capt . stambell played by roland bob harris . a hokey but entertaining 70 ' s film .\n\u2013 is remarkable for lots of reasons . this is a first -

poly and easily wowed ned ( jacon batalon ) , and he\u2019s got a crush on liz ( laura harrier ) , a senior who\u2019s on the decathlon team . the biracial romance is a step in the right direction , but at one point the two are poised in an upside - down kiss that never materializes , which only reminds you of how much the film is feeding off its legacy . it\u2019s fine \u2014 and true enough to marvel \u2014 to make a spider - man movie about a young adult , but spider - man : homecoming has an aggressively eager and prosaic ya flavor . \u201d\n\u2018it is one of the very , very few horror movies that does jump off of racial fears\u2019 \u2026 jordan peele on his new film get out , which stars daniel kaluuya , above . photograph : youtube\n4 . the film ' s prologue , set in iraq , was actually shot there in 1972 / 3 . the u . s . had no diplomatic relations with the country , and so friedkin had to take a british crew to work on scenes with actor max von sydow . the iraqi government agreed to the shoot under three circumstances : ( 1 ) friedkin & co . had to train local iraqis in film techniques , ( 2 ) they had to teach local iraqis how to make movie blood , and ( 3 ) friedkin had to donate a print of his oscar - winning film the french connection .\nlike any conventional film , tangerine underwent post - production .\nwith a lot of these social realist films , the first thing you do is drain the color ,\nbaker says .\nwe went the other way . we pumped the colors and put the saturation through the roof . just because the world there is so colorful , and the women are so colorful . we wanted it to match them .\n( orange emerged as the dominant color in the film , inspiring its title . ) the final step was to apply a digital grain to the movie , giving it a quality more reminiscent of actual film .\nbut while sony shares the rights to the character with marvel studios , these two new films won\u2019t be in the same continuity as the larger marvel cinematic universe that contains the avengers , and tom holland\u2019s spider - man . it\u2019s also unlikely that holland\u2019s character will actually appear in the universe , especially given that marvel is planning to follow up homecoming with two more films , which means that sony\u2019s spider - man universe is going to have to stand on its own without its signature character for now .\none night jefferson reed gets hit in the chest by a souped - up chunk of meteor . so he can fly , but he ' s scared of heights . he can master the information in any book . . . for about 30 seconds . now his friends and family want him to protect their community from the dreaded golden lords .\n21 . william peter blatty , who wrote the novel on which the original film was based and won an academy award for his screenplay on the exorcist , directed this film based on his novel legion , which picked up with the character of detective kinderman ( played by lee j . cobb in the original and here by george c . scott ) investigating a series of murders that bear the imprint of a long - dead serial killer .\nnot all critics were glowing about \u201cyou were never really here\u201d . ben croll of website the wrap called it \u201cgrimly violent and willfully oblique . . . more of a collection of accomplished filmmaking moments than a wholly satisfying film\u201d .\nthe movie made quite the splash . despite showing only on around 800 screens in the us \u2013 a typical wide release plays on three times as many screens \u2013 borat hit number one on its opening weekend . its earnings were every bit as strong around the rest of the world and it is widely considered the highest -

makers have used absurd horror to tackle race before , like in timo vuorensola\u2019s 2012 film iron sky , which placed the action on the dark side of the moon where the nazis had been hiding out , plotting to forcibly make black people white . but in get out , peele brought the action much closer to home . some have dubbed the film an \u201c african - american nightmare movie \u201d ; it isn\u2019t . this is an american horror story . ( it comes after an impressive run of low - budget two - word - title horrors that place the action in middle america , and prod at issues bubbling just beneath the surface : don\u2019t breathe , it follows and you\u2019re next . )\ncannes , france ( reuters ) -

spinning scene had an unlikely source . according to friedkin in his autobiography , the friedkin connection ,\nat one point , [ sound effects man gonzalo gavira ] borrowed an old cracked leather wallet which contained some credit cards , and he held it up to the microphone and twisted it . and that sound was used in the movie to create the sound of the little girl ' s head turning around .\nforensic investigators wearing protective suits enter the rear of john baker house , a supported housing scheme for the homeless in salisbury after it was evacuated the previous day . police are investigating the scene after a man and woman were exposed to nerve agent novichok and are in critical condition .\ntrilogy , which arguably would be there with inflation , 3d and modern overseas expansion , has ended up at least $ 110m below the milestone . when dealing with big movies in general , and especially with comic book superhero movies , we should remember that the great majority of them don ' t hit $ 1b worldwide . and if james gunn ' s well - reviewed / well - received\nfollowing glowing reactions on social media from critics , the first wave of full - fledged reviews are out with equally effusive takes on the john hughes - esque superhero movie from director jon watts . \u201cthe best spider -

weekend drop for a $ 59m second weekend and a new over / under $ 245m domestic total after ten days of release . the next few weeks will determine if it gets to $ 400m domestic or ends up just above the $ 373m domestic cume of the initial guardians of the galaxy back in 2014 . and we ' ll see over the next few weeks how well the film holds up overseas as well . it should be passing $ 500m today or tomorrow , so the big question is whether it gets to $ 1 billion or ends up merely doing noticeably better than the first film ' s $ 773m worldwide cume . for what it ' s worth , i hope it doesn ' t hit that respective milestone .\n15 . in fact , the response to the movie was so negative that boorman reedited the last part of the film ( which itself was heavily rewritten doing shooting ) in an attempt to improve reception as it rolled out in more and more theaters . he failed .\nplenty of fan - pandering action but too little brainpower went into this first wolvie spinoff , which was especially surprising given the casting of typically thoughtful liev schreiber as the x - man ' s taloned bro sabretooth . some fans will never forgive the fakeness of wolverine ' s snickety - snick claws in this installment .\nback in new york , a gangster named sollozzo wants to involve the corleone family in his narcotics smuggling operation . two other crime families , the barzinis and tattaglias , are already in on the scheme , but sollozzo wants vito\u2019s protection and financing too . vito arranges a meeting with sollozzo . sonny and tom support the idea of expanding the family business , but vito cannot overcome his initial skepticism about the scheme and his distaste for drug trafficking . vito rejects the offer and orders his bodyguard , luca brasi , to investigate sollozzo . luca is murdered , and shortly afterward a hit man attempts to assassinate vito while he shops at a fruit market . vito survives the shooting but is badly hurt , and sonny temporarily takes control of the family business .\nan outsider marvel pic that didn ' t work to make its novelty obvious , ant - man deflated overblown superhero pomposity like a pinprick to a giant balloon . the persistence of a team that saved it from development turmoil may be irrelevant to the merits of the finished product , but it ' s certainly worth celebrating .\nhorror tropes are inverted , subverted and turned on their head , none more so than the way peele takes the idea of a white woman being in peril as soon as she\u2019s in an inner - city area and turns that into a black man being at his vulnerable in an affluent white neighborhood . the unique history \u2013 plus the fascination , fetishization and fear of dark - skinned men \u2013 on this continent gives get out even more punch . after seeing it , i started to think that it might not be a coincidence the film came out almost five years to the day since trayvon martin was killed .\nhannes holm : if i knew that this film would get in here , i would have said , yes , the first time when i got the offer . but , really , when i got the offer to do it , i really didn ' t want to do it .\nexorcist director william friedkin :\ni know that it is considered by a great many people as a horror film . i ' ve never thought of it that way and i didn ' t approach it that way . it ' s a story about the mystery of faith .\n23 . despite the movie being destroyed by producers , the current cut of exorcist iii still does contain one of the great jump scares of modern horror cinema . it ' s best watched within the context of the entire film , but it ' s here if you want it .\n\u201cthere\u2019s nothing worse than being at the end of this festival and watching a two - and - a - half - hour - long film that\u2019s ( got ) self indulgent scenes in it , \u201d she said , a description that could apply to many of the films screened this year .\nposing serious questions about violence and vigilantism while reveling in both , the third captain america film is overlong but surprisingly light on its feet . it builds upon the plotlines of previous avengers outings , bringing together known marquee quantities and introducing the black panther and a new spidey in winning fashion .\nwe eventually learn that he ' s a former hitman who had an epiphany and now only kills people who hire him to commit murder . sometimes he wears a clown nose as he does this . he has an elaborate philosophy , something about how we are all islands in the stream and there ' s a great energy force flowing beneath us . he demonstrates this by throwing a knife at martha ' s head . of course , he doesn ' t accidentally kill her because if he did , something genuinely surprising would happen in a film otherwise comprised of tedious film school - student cliches .\nbrian truitt ( usa today ) \u201cthe remarkable and refreshing first solo adventure\u2026for tom holland\u2019s teenage superhero comes with an important to - do list \u2014 differentiate its new lead youngster from other spider - men , add nuance to a 55 - year - old character , plus somehow tie into the overall marvel cinematic saga without being annoying about it . director jon watts\u2019 film undoubtedly succeeds by making it about a boy rather than his wall - crawling alter ego . if nothing else , homecoming makes this very clear : peter parker is an unspectacular , not - that - amazing spider - man , but dagnabbit , the kid\u2019s going to be just fine . \u201d\nwho would think that a cgi character resembling an academy award could actually increase the charisma quotient of an ensemble superhero movie ? but even with the eponymous\nsentinel of the spaceways\non hand , the film failed to capture the planet - consuming awe kirby and lee intended their villain galactus to radiate .\nhere in california , in los angeles , you have digital cats because you have seen these problems before and that ' s why your digital industry is so big . in sweden , we can ' t afford that , but we could afford two cats . so , we had two cats in the film .\nthere really was a desmond doss , and the film sticks close to the facts of his story . yet there\u2019s still something very programmatic about \u201chacksaw ridge . \u201d it immerses you in the violent madness of war \u2014 and , at the same time , it roots its drama in the impeccable valor of a man who , by his own grace , refuses to have anything to do with war . you could argue that gibson , as a filmmaker , is having his bloody cake and eating it too , but the less cynical ( and more accurate ) way to put it might be that \u201chacksaw ridge\u201d is a ritual of renunciation . the film stands on its own ( if you\u2019d never heard of mel gibson , it would work just fine ) , yet there\u2019s no point in denying that it also works on the level of gibsonian optics \u2014 that it speaks , on some political - metaphorical level , to the troubles that have defined him and that he\u2019s now making a bid to transcend .\nten years ago , anyone without a job could get a mortgage in the us . tony blair was the uk\u2019s lame duck prime minister . al\u2013qaeda , rather than is , was public enemy number one . and the satire film borat : cultural learnings of america for make benefit glorious nation of kazakhstan was in cinemas .\nransone said that the key to shooting tangerine was having a team well -

looking film on a shoestring budget ,\nhe says .\nbut you have to know 100 years worth of filmmaking .\nproduced in the thick of the pre - mcu marvel boomtime ( by 2005 , two spideys and two x - men had already stormed through cinemas ) , this nearly forgotten outing never even made it to stateside theatrical release . giving it to lawnmower man director brett leonard probably signified producers ' lack of faith in a property easily confused with dc ' s swamp thing .\nyou should definitely watch if you are a true fan of spider - man and marvel . tom holland revived peter parker as a new . michael keaton ' s portrayal as vulture was very good . there is no doubt that tobey maguire was a better actor . but if we give holland more time than i hope that he will nail it with his performance . : )\n: the agent program was initiated in august of 1967 by a man named peter aaron litvenko . it ' s purpose was to create the perfect killing machine . human beings without emotion , or fear , or remorse . the resulting subjects were called , agents . the program was a success . but the price of creating men without humanity , was litvenko ' s conscience .\ni write my own stories . this was kind of a new thing for me , to write a screenplay of some other person ' s story . i really didn ' t want to do it , but i read the book . it ' s a good thing to do , if you want to make a film .\n13 . the movie is considered one of the worst sequels ( nay , one of the worst anythings ) of all time . but it had its partisans , including film critic pauline kael , who preferred it over the original , and martin scorsese , who once noted it as one of his guilty pleasures of that year .\ni worked with a lot of comedy in sweden before and he ' s not a comedy guy and the production company didn ' t want rolf in the main character because he wasn ' t so funny . when i started to talk with him , he said ,\ni ' m not that funny .\ni didn ' t want to have a funny guy . i wanted to have a really good actor . so , we started to watch other films , for example\nabout schmidt ,\na film about stubborn people . after we finished them and started to release the film , alexander payne called him and gave him a big role .\n22 . blatty filmed a tight psychological thriller and executives hated it , especially because it had no exorcism of any kind .\nthey had come for slashings , for blood and guts ,\nsaid blatty .\nobviously i never wanted the film to be characterized in that way , and that is one of the reasons why i personally resisted using the title the exorcist iii . i wanted the movie to be called legion but the producers disagreed .\njason miller , who played father karras in the original ( a character who died , by the way ) , was brought in and a special - effects heavy exorcism was tacked onto the film ' s end .\nit\u2019s a fair statement , but it won\u2019t be the first time that racial fears have been encoded within the genre . in george a romero\u2019s seminal night of the living dead in 1968 , the african american lead ben , played by duane jones , and his grim fate ( 40 - year - old spoiler : he gets killed at the end after a posse mistakes him for a zombie ) eerily coincided with the assassination of martin luther king . it was a landmark film even for having a black lead , but its bleak climax made a depressing statement on american sociopolitical progress . there are moments throughout the film that imply hostility towards ben\u2019s race and his power but issues surrounding his racial identity aren\u2019t overtly explored ."]}

twisting in uraniborg is heavier , however , owing in part to its ( post ) apocalyptic undercurrent , its disorienting darkness , and the illicit intersections of its maze - like architecture . wickramasinghe\u2019s thoughtful exhibition , on the other hand , reminds us that there is a lighter side to time travel and shadow play : it is the power of imagination and the ecstatic state of wonder that is so natural for children and so easily abandoned with the ascent into adulthood .\ncreate a quikstory , control your gopro , and share your shots on the spot .\nafter the release of his debut studio album james arthur , he was involved in a series of controversies which led itunes to offer refunds for the album . the single release\nrecovery\nmade to number 19 , while the sales for the fourth single\nget down\nhardly made the top 100 . arthur parted ways with simon cowell ' s record label syco in 2014 . in 2015 , he signed a new deal with columbia records to release his second studio album in 2016 , titled back from the edge . arthur was also re -

( wickramasinghe shyly admitted that she has a lot of patience ) . displayed directly across from the diptychs is the series line drawing \u2013 alchemy of light . in each of its iterations , sheets of stacked paper were put through a laser cutter and incised with triangular cuts of various scales . the resulting objects , intended ( according to the artist ) to be like extensions of the pencil patterns in crystal study , look like labyrinthine environments with an intricate system of fences or fortresses . their complicated architecture reveals innumerable inconsistencies and unexpected details the longer they are inspected and their multi - layered topography appears to go on forever . when standing as close as we were for an extended period of time , it is easy to forget that these objects are made of paper . the burnt edges where the laser struck are brown and brittle and thinner strands have been so fried and dehydrated that they have taken on the consistency of wicker or straw . with only their tops tacked to the wall , a simple sigh or deep breath causes the sheets of paper to flutter and move like the folding bellows of an accordion . as with many of the included works , there is something anthropomorphic about alchemy of light and the way that it reacts to its environment .\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 )\nin october 2016 an anonymous letter was posted to the angry asian man site by someone claiming to have read the spec script . they said it included a 30 -

mythical 19 th century character whose dreams of time travel inspired artists and symbolist poets more than scientific possibility and further research , but is indeed contemporary . serving in the u . s . air force during the vietnam war and having taught physics at the university of connecticut since 1975 , he has devoted his life\u2019s work to rendering realistic the possibility of time travel . the fact that this seemingly retro form of futurism is being actively pursued in the present arguably affirms that wonder and imagination are still powerful and transformative forces .\njames gabriel keogh , better known by his stage name vance joy , is an australian singer and songwriter . he signed a five -

con ( and followed up by an official dc press release ) , the two - part film breaks the story up into its core components , echoing the original dual events . the death of superman will be the first film , releasing in late 2018 ; it will stay truer to the comic story of doomsday ' s rampage than superman : doomsday was , and will feature a number of scenes from that storyline that were cut from the previous film . it will be followed by reign of the supermen in early 2019 , which will go into full detail of all four supermen ( as opposed to the one that was featured in doomsday ) .\nfinally , in early 2019 , look for reign of the supermen , the second part of the two - part adaptation . while we\u2019ll have to wait for an official synopsis to learn all of the details , that name should be a familiar one to superman fans and suggests we\u2019ll be seeing the rise of the superman alternates that took his place during the year after his death . ( for those unfamiliar with the story , they were steel , cyborg superman , superboy and the last son of krypton . ) this part of the death and return of superman was greatly simplified in doomsday , which instead featured a single alternate superman rather than the four we saw in the comics .\nthe game follows the events of the death of superman starting from the time that the underworlders take over the metropolis power plant to superman ' s return and defeat of the cyborg . other heroes such as green lantern , supergirl , and the justice league are omitted from the game ( though the league is mentioned in a cutscene ) and other notable enemies such as mongul are also missing from the plot . while an image of an unpowered superman is present in the game , the player never gets to battle with superman in this form .\nand actually , the lesson at the end about comic book death . i ' m not sure if superman really did break comic book death , but it does seem as though death has gotten fairly silly in comics over the last ten or so years , to the point that whenever publishers talk up a character ' s big ! shocking ! death ! everyone pretty much knows it will mean nothing .\nthe golden age superman , kal - l , fought and defeated doomsday alongside the modern superman during the battle of metropolis .\nstarter villain : the underworld warworlders in the first part of the\ndeath of superman\narc , continuing a subplot that had been going on in the previous issues of superman : the man of steel . they have no relation to doomsday and superman defeats them before they can invade the surface without much difficulty .\nthe film was screened twice at the san diego comic - con ' 07 as a special sneak preview on thursday , july 26th . both reactions and reviews were positive .\nremember when the man of steel died and came back in the 1990s ? well , this is the closest we ' re going to get to a live - action death of superman movie . and it ' s kind of amazing .\nan educational parody film by max landis , produced by bryan basham starring elden henson , elijah wood , mandy moore , morgan krantz and many more .\nsuperman : don\u0092t let the costume fool you . i\u0092m superman - and i\u0092m back .\nfaux death : many of the adaptations to this story transform superman ' s death into this . the novel would claim that all superman needed was time in the sun to fully recharge , but points out that if he had ran out of solar power , he really would have died .\na trailer released in june 2007 showed a slightly altered animation style from that of the regular dc animated universe . lois and superman have a relationship , but the man of steel hasn ' t revealed his identity to lois until the end of the film , even though she already knows . lex luthor ii and supergirl are not in the film ; present is a similar lex luthor to that of the dcau \u2014 the corrupt tycoon of lexcorp ; the fight between superman and doomsday occurs at night ( instead of during the day , as it did in the comics ) ; there are fewer supermen ; among other changes and differences .\nbatman isn\u2019t alone though . j . k . simmons revealed that he\u2019s wrapped filming as commissioner gordon , noting how they \u201cjust kind of introduce him and see a little bit of his interactions with batman and with most of the justice league\u201d in the film .\nbloodless carnage : averted . the death portion is pretty brutal , from the first squished bird to the final blow .\nthe story was eventually adapted as an animated film called superman : doomsday in 2007 , but it was highly condensed in order to fit the plot within the film ' s short runtime . it was also used as the premise for the final act of batman v superman : dawn of justice . now , dc universe original movies is creating a new two - part adaptation that promises to be much more faithful to the original story .\nroger stern adapted the death of superman storyline into a novel , entitled the death and life of superman , in the summer of 1993 . it was released in hardcover form and then in paperback a year later .

comic - book fans that had never previously read a superman title snatched up the issue en masse . when superman was subsequently revived , however , the backlash was equally strong - diehard superman fans had bought the death issue on the expectation that that the book itself would become a prized collectible , and felt ' cheated ' when he was suddenly revived ( which made the book nearly worthless as a collectible ) .\nthe confrontation between the man of tomorrow and the last son of krypton initially seems to be an example of this . it turns out that\nthe climactic event happened in superman ( vol . 2 ) # 75 . the issue only contains 22 panels , and every page was a single panel , which was a structure building on the previous issues \u2014 adventures of superman # 497 was done entirely with four - panel pages , action comics # 684 with three , and superman : the man of steel # 19 with two . the entire story was immediately collected into a trade paperback and titled the death of superman .\nsuperman -

part animated film ; the dark knight returns was similarly adapted in 2012 and 2013 , with a deluxe edition that combined the two films into a single volume being released later in that year . it ' s possible that death of superman and reign of the supermen will get a similar combined edition in late 2019 , though dc has made no announcements along these lines as yet .\nthe first half of the reign of the supermen ! story focuses on each of the supermen \u201cresuming\u201d his duty as protector of metropolis and gaining acceptance from the public . of the four , the reader very quickly learns that neither the cloned metropolis kid nor the john henry irons man of steel are the real superman . the cyborg man of tomorrow and the last son of krypton were easily bought in by the people as the possible real superman , since lois questioned both of them , and both recalled memories which clark kent had . cyborg was even tested by dr . hamilton who stated that the cyborg appeared to be the real superman .\nin terms of their justice league roster , dc / warner bros . is leaning on known quantities to populate the team . we of course have batman and superman leading the charge , along with wonder woman , aquaman , the flash , and cyborg . notably absent will be green lantern , likely an attempt to further distance the studio from the disappointing standalone film they released back in 2011 .\nhowever , a rumor reported by birth . movies . death . claims that while darkseid will be playing a large role , his uncle , steppenwolf will be the main villain . in the comics , steppenwolf is more of a minor character , giving director zack snyder plenty of creative license to tell a new story . another report from birth . movies . death . claimed that darkseid won\u2019t play as large of a role as originally thought , noting that while \u201cdarkseid is a presence in the movie , and fully appears at the end of the film , don\u2019t expect him to do much . \u201d\nhowever , the most famous instance was the\ndeath of superman\nstory arc in the superman comics during the 1990s , and the animated movie ( based on that story ) titled superman doomsday ( which started off the dc universe animated original movies line ) that came out in 2007 . additionally , the line will revisit the story with a more faithful adaptation , split into two parts , in 2018 and 2019 .\nup until the death of superman event , dc comics writers lived on a fixed set of rules when it came to how the post - crisis superman ' s powers were portrayed . this was changed upon his return . the change could be traced to when the eradicator transformed the kryptonite radiation into something that would re - empower the revived superman . in a battle with lobo , he discovered he could survive the vacuum of space indefinitely , something the post - crisis superman could not do . he also noticed his strength has increased . although this was part of a subplot involving superman ' s powers growing out of control as he absorbed too much solar energy , the depiction of his power was not as consistent as before .\neven though it sounds as if he\u2019s completely trashing the genre , you could say the younger landis has a keen interest in superheroes . he wrote the screenplay for the new film chronicle , which revolves around a group of teenage boys who find themselves with superpowers .\nrounding out the 2018 releases will be death of superman , the first part of the two - parter . adapting the legendary story of superman\u2019s fatal battle with doomsday , this will actually be the second dc universe original movie to adapt the material . the first , 2007\u2019s superman : doomsday , was the very first dc universe original movie and greatly condensed and altered the original comic book event to fit within its 75 - minute running time . the upcoming adaptation will be more faithful to the source material , much less condensed and will include many of the fan - favorite moments from the story that were left out of doomsday .\nsuperman throws doomsday into the bottom of a lake , slowing him down long enough so that the man of steel can return and save the mother and her infant daughter . after doomsday escapes from the silty lake bed , he and superman tear up a city street . maxima then re -

crisis history of the man of steel , his world and his supporting characters . stern breaks everything down into a manageable , easily digestible form . it ' s all there . sure he makes some major and minor tweaks to the overall story but they all work for this version of the tale . i really can ' t say enough good things about this book . if you have only read the comic - book version of the death and return you owe it to yourself to read this version as well .\n- - michael bailey , urltoken\nstern is a highly underrated writer . his novelization of the death of superman showed that a single writer on that storyline could have made it a more effective story .\n- - jeff nettelton\nstern doesn ' t only write action / adventure , he writes real , compelling characters .\n- - thomas piperson\nthe best attribute in roger stern ' s work is his heart . his stories tend to be rooted in the decency of heroes -

- - seventies superstar rajesh khanna and the actor destiny had singled out to be his successor , amitabh bachchan .\nmay talk a lot about the clash of opposing economic ideologies , but it works essentially because of the ever morphing human relationship between its two pivots .\nthe film begins with the promise of a prolonged flashback : vicky ( amitabh ) , sporting a dash of grey in his hair , has been just released from jail . he is received by a sympatico nisha ( simi ) who , we learn as the spools unravel , was born with a golden spoon but propagates socialism .\non reaching home , vicky meditates over somu ' s ( rajesh khanna ) garlanded photograph . it does not leave you with much guess work about his character ' s culmination , but it is the perfect cue for a flashback .\nsomu , a middle - class youth , and millionaire vicky belong to two different strata of society . they are held together by their friendship . they wear identical shirts , share a whiskey bottle , lust after the same courtesan , and even do a stint of work for the same firm .\nunfortunately , the short - tempered vicky gets embroiled in a spat with his moneybag father ' s ( om shivpuri ' s ) employee bipinlal ( a k hangal ) . bipinlal , a union leader , announces a strike . at his dad ' s insistence , a seething vicky reluctantly apologises to bipinlal .\na disturbed somu hatches a plot to avenge vicky ' s humiliation . he poses as a labourer called chander , lives in the workers '\n, and starts working in vicky ' s factory , to displace bipinlal as the leader .\nhereafter , the story takes what one could possibly call a commercial break . somu gets sentimental about a song penned by the cynical\nsomu then wins the workers ' confidence after vicky concedes to somu ' s demands for a bonus . bipinlal loses the union election to somu . an elated vicky wants to celebrate the momentous occasion with a glass of chivas regal . but somu is too busy contemplating the morality of gulping down a\nsomu ' s sympathies are now genuinely with the workers . vicky , subconsciously influenced by his father ' s views that the middle class is ambitious and unreliable , begins to see somu as a\nvicky ' s father , the master puppeteer , now delivers two blows . he blows somu ' s cover and later gets him mowed down by a truck . revolted by his father ' s ruthlessness , vicky claims he masterminded the killing and hands himself to the police .\n' s dialogue makes abundant references to the class distinctions , the greedy capitalist , the role of politicians in encouraging discord and appeals for a more orderly world and a more even distribution of wealth , albeit without offering any concrete solutions .\nit may ostensibly be a story about the class war but it is no dry economic treatise . the film is juiced up by its exploration of the mercurial yet binding relationship between the two friends .\nsomu ' s pain at his divided loyalties and the conflict of interests are well brought out by hrishikesh mukherjee . so is the blend of love and hate that defines vicky ' s relationship with his father . after destroying his father ' s dreams , vicky says with all sincerity :\ndad ,\nmukherjee does take his time to get the story off the ground . the development of the friendship and the boisterous scenes could have been more interestingly portrayed . also , the shifts from scene to scene is puzzlingly old fashioned . the women sadly remain on the fringes .\nrajesh khanna plays the conventional hero with charm and a sense for the grand gesture .\nbut amitabh has a definite edge over him in this closely fought clash of the titans .\nthe film offers an early glimpse of amitabh ' s intensity and his ability to play a role with uncanny authority . watch him thunder at om shivpuri when he first gets to know of his attack on rajesh :\njo kuch bhi hua , woh mere aure uske beech mein hai , koi teesra beech main aaya toh [ whatever happened , that is between him and me . if a third comes between us ]\nif i were to single out one amitabh scene , it would be his expression of impotent anger as he relives rajesh ' s humiliation at the hands of the union leader . there are tears when he turns around and rarely have tears seemed more real on the hindi screen .\n* most of amitabh ' s solo portions were shot before busy star rajesh khanna began shooting for the film .\n* hrishikesh mukherjee worked for the first time with the anand bakshi -

assembled mind - bender , griffith ' s\nroom 8\ncombines fantasy with prison drama and results in a statement on the traps the humans can never escape .\na cultural phenomenon , tommy wiseau ' s the room has become a cult classic since its release in 2003 . the film itself is hard to describe ; the basic synopsis barely does it justice :\n2014 . it is the first and only time a branded content film had won the highly coveted award .\ncreated as part of the bombay sapphire imagination series , room 8 is one of five handpicked films based on oscar - winning screenwriter geoffrey fletcher\u2019s ( precious ) script . run in association with the tribeca film festival , the competition invites filmmakers to take a script that is absent of direction and inject their own genre , locations , characters and imagination to bring the film to life . speaking to the director via email , i was eager to discover exactly what attracted him to this particular competition :\nbafta\u2019s destination for youngsters to come and discover the magical worlds of film , television and games . enter challenges , watch videos , and take part in our annual vote to decide the best film , tv show and game of the year .\nthe box would be free falling forever since you ' re room and every other room would have been thrown over the wall as well . so you ' d just be floating around forever like on the space station .\nfor the faithful , the room isn\u2019t just bad , it\u2019s intoxicatingly awful .\n- nicholas barber , urltoken\nroom 8 , a short film written and directed by james w . griffiths , takes place in a russian prison . british prisoner ives ( tom cullen ) is taken to a new cell , where he meets the mysterious shears ( michael gould ) . in the cell , ives finds a red box , which piques his interest . unable to fight his curiosity , he opens the box , and is shocked at what he finds .\ndon ' t listen to the haters or those that want to chip away at the overall brilliance of ' room ' . what film doesn ' t have small flaws , they pale into insignificance during the 2 hours of continuous emotional maelstrom that follows . this film wrings every last drop of emotion and drama out of the allotted playtime . make no mistake , despite short bursts of touching serenity , this films starts up full throttle and doesn ' t let - up . i can only assume reviewers here scoring this film 8 or less must be vulcan by birth , or just terminally insensitive . this is a first rate drama with stand out performances all round . especially from the child protagonist . * * warning * * if you have trouble viewing emotionally charged material of a sensitive nature about abuse . you would be well advised not to view this film .\nrecovering after a terrible accident , dana struggles to regain her life and family when she encounters a malevolent ghost in her hospital room .\nwashed - up true - crime writer ellison oswalt finds a box of super 8 home movies that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose work dates back to the 1960s .\nwhat is so fascinating about the room is how beguilingly\noff\nit feels . dialogue seems almost intentionally unnatural , moments escalate out of nowhere and can settle almost as quickly , and scenes play out in confounding fashion . but in a weird way , it kinda works . because of this , audiences approach the film with the same fervor as a rocky horror picture show crowd , complete with callouts and the occasional props . it is a film everyone should experience once , and we certainly recommend doing so before james franco ' s the disaster artist , which chronicles the making of the room & its subsequent release , hits theaters in december .\nset in a 1970\u2019s prison cell , james w . griffiths\u2019 striking room 8 mixes an intriguing narrative with impressive visual fx to create an utterly compelling 7 - minute short . with a plot that feels pulled from an episode of the twilight zone , griffiths\u2019 short is one part thriller , one part science fiction and one part horror . which in my eyes equals a whole lot of awesome .\na man who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences checks into the fabled room 1408 in the dolphin hotel . soon after settling in , he confronts genuine terror .\nthe cynical and skeptical writer mike enslin writes books evaluating supernatural phenomena in hotels , graveyards and other haunted places , usually debunking the mystery . while writing his latest book , he travels from los angeles to new york to spend one night in the dolphin hotel ' s posessed room 1408 , which is permanently unavailable for guests . the reluctant manager mr . gerald olin objects to his request and offers an upgrade , expensive booze and finally relates the death of more than fifty guests over decades in the cursed room . however mike threatens mr . olin , promising to sue the hotel , and is finally allowed to check into the room . later in the night , he finds that guests of room 1408 , once they have checked in , might never leave the room alive .\nreally excellent production values and a clever , twisty little five minute twilight zone premise combine to make a film which continues to linger in the mind well after it ' s finished .\nnice film . but why would you do that ? the best he could have hoped for was spending the rest of his life hidden among giants . lonly and in constant danger .\nbut what ' s the main idea of the film ? there are three more short movies on the topic , and all of them are about opening the box and regrets later .\nbritish academy of film and television arts ) award for best short film . it was selected in an online competition to be part of the five -

cam , but everything about this film is very derivative ( especially of doodlebug , as you mentioned ) , and i saw the whole\nsend the next prisoner\nthing coming almost immediately . it ' s also just pointless and meaningless , pretty much the only thing someone will get from watching this is\nah ha !\nroom tells the extraordinary story of jack , a spirited 5 - year - old who is looked after by his loving and devoted mother . like any good mother , ma dedicates herself to keeping jack happy and safe , nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories . their life , however , is anything but typical - - they are trapped - - confined to a 10 - by - 10 - foot space that ma has euphemistically named room . ma has created a whole universe for jack within room , and she will stop at nothing to ensure that , even in this treacherous environment , jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life . but as jack ' s curiosity about their situation grows , and ma ' s resilience reaches its breaking point , they enact a risky plan to escape , ultimately bringing them face - to - face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet : the real world .\nas jack is lying face - up , his head at the tailgate of the truck , he beholds the naked sky for the first time . the world is passing by - from top to bottom of the screen . this is exactly the opposite of how he would see it from his established perspective . this is no small error for arguably the most beautiful moment in the film .\nedit : if you tried to carry your open orig box out of your room and over the wall , then as soon as you got your box over the wall , everything will look and seem like an endless abyss of space . so imagine you climb up to your ceiling while holding your original box . you open the lid of your orig box so the bigger you opens your ceiling . you climb out and are now hanging on the outside of your wall by one arm with your other arm holding your original box . you look up and see the bigger you is holding your entire room ( his box ) that your hanging on to . and you see he himself is hanging on to the side of his room , which is being held by an even bigger you . you then look down at your box and see an infinite chain of ever smaller you ' s clinging to your box to infinity . but while the chain is infinite , it ' ll never be longer than the distance you can hang from the box , it ' ll just get infinitesimally small .\nif cox continues to play like this , there could be room for him on the bengals\u2019 53 - man roster , or at least the practice squad . having a guy like cox who is not afraid to defend the run while still being able to locate the ball could provide a lot of depth for a secondary that\u2019s faced a few injuries in training camp .\nit\u2019s no secret shonda rhimes is a hamilton fan ( honestly , who isn\u2019t ? ) , so it\u2019s clear this week\u2019s episode title is an homage to the hit broadway show . however , if you tuned in tonight thinking you\u2019d hear a hamilton reference or five , you were mistaken \u2014 in tonight\u2019s captivating , wrenching episode , the room where it happens is the or .\nthis is the perfect metaphor for why we can ' t accelerate mass to the speed of light . imagine if you opened the box , but you had a rocket , at first you would easily pass through 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 boxes . . . but as you became inversly smaller the distance to the next box would become infinity more difficult to achieve on a logarithmic scale , eventually , no matter how much force you put behind the rocket , the distance to the next box would be infinity long never allowing you to reach it .\nnow what if , while holding your orig box at chest level , you opened it and flipped it upside down to try to get the littler box fall out of your orig box ? it still wouldn ' t work . but something really weird would happen . the bigger you would of flipped his box ( your room ) upside down as well , and so on to infinity . so all the boxes ( rooms ) are now upside down and free falling within each other . but , given physics , we know everything falls at the same rate ( not accounting for friction ) , and a weird effect would take place . everything in your room would seem to be weightless because everything is technically in free fall ( although it wouldn ' t feel like your falling at all ) . you ' re orig box would just float there upside down . it ' d be like being on the space station ; the space station and everything in it is just constantly\nfalling around the earth\nbut we call that orbiting . if you think about that , it ' s pretty damn cool ; you can essentially control and\naim\nthe gravity of your room\nnow what if , while holding your orig box at chest level , you opened it and flipped it upside down to try to get the littler box fall out of your orig box ? it still wouldn ' t work . but something really weird would happen . the bigger you would of flipped his box ( your room ) upside down as well , and so on to infinity . so all the boxes ( rooms ) are now upside down and free falling within each other . but , given physics , we know everything falls at the same rate ( not accounting for friction ) , and a weird effect would take place . everything in your room would seem to be weightless because everything is technically in free fall ( although it wouldn ' t feel like your falling at all ) . you ' re orig box would just float there upside down . it ' d be like being on the space station ; the space station and everything in it is just constantly\nfalling around the earth\nbut we call that orbiting . if you think about that , it ' s pretty damn cool ; you can essentially control and\naim\nthe gravity of your room .\nshined up i decided to watch this after polanski ' s\nthe tenant\nand that was probably a bad choice , because that film is precious . this one consists of three elements , typical of the king formula . the first is the expression of terror , shaped safely so that you can watch but not be personally threatened . i think this is a king invention . here , we know we would have taken seriously the warnings so he deserves what he gets . it relieves us . the second element is trite , so far as i am concerned . also a king specialty is to weave some sort of emotional trauma into the otherwise merely decorative horror . here it is the death of our character ' s child , which happened before we meet him . this allows for the final zinger . the third element is the stuff i study and that king knows well . i call it narrative folding . situations are nested in each other . time gets shifted , at the same time that the period in the room proceeds in real time , even with a clock counting down . ghosts inhabit ghosts and all people are ghosts . cold is hot . water is land . daughter is wife . this is the stuff that makes the film work , and i think it is done pretty well . its why they picked cusak . he understands this stuff . has since\nmalkovich\nand\nfidelity\nand mastered in\nidentity .\nted ' s evaluation -

12 in paul brown stadium . at the half , the bengals were down 9 - 6 and had to rely heavily on the defense in the second half to keep the buccaneers from taking the game away from them . a large part of that effort came from rookie defensive back demetrious cox who signed with the bengals as an undrafted free agent out of michigan state following the draft in may .\ncox first saw action late in the third quarter of friday\u2019s game . the first play we\u2019ll look at is a tackle on a run play where cox limits buccaneers running back jeremy mcnichols to a one - yard gain . in the clip below , you can see cox pursue the running back well , moving toward the line and then turn mcnichols back inside toward help . cox does well to help limit mcnichols to only a yard here on first -

day ukraine was partitioned by poland and soviet russia . during world war two , ukraine was occupied by the third reich . in 1943 at the teheran conference , stalin handed over to poland the ethnic ukrainian lands west of the boh river , known as zakerzonnia , home to nearly one million ukrainians . to protect ukrainians and their land , the organization of ukrainian nationalists ( oun ) created a clandestine network of operatives and military units . one of these units was a company of the ukrainian insurgent army led by mykhailo duda -

bayda founded the zaporizhian sich \u2013 free cossacks\u2019 community . a little less than 100 years later , after fierce battles with poland , hetman bohdan khmelnytsky established a cossack state called the zaporizhian army , which , according to the pereyaslav treaty , would be incorporated into russia but maintain its autonomy . although , in the event , independence was not preserved , the memory of khmelnytsky and their own independent state has constituted a fundamental myth for the contemporary ukraine , while the valiant cossack served as a central figure in the national consciousness of the ukrainians .\nhetman ivan mazepa was the last figure to try to regain ukrainian independence . but the russia of peter the first proved to be too powerful , and mazepa was defeated , despite having formed an alliance with sweden . empress catherine ii finalized the process of dismantling an autonomous ukraine : she annulled the remnants of the cossack autonomy and , in 1775 , abolished the zaporizhian sich .\nthe second part of the four - part series \u00ab the ukraine . the birth of a nation \u00bb spans the period from the late xviii century till the beginning of the xx century ; the time between the french revolution and world war i , the so - called \u00ablong xix century\u00bb , a comparatively peaceful period in eastern europe following the napoleonic wars . at that time , intellectual nationalist movements started to form in the romanov and habsburg empires ; they proclaimed ideas of self - sufficiency and national identity . the xix century is the century of the nations of the present - day eastern europe , the century when the contemporary ukrainian nation was born .\nupon the abolition of the hetmanate and the zaporizhian sich the cossacks ceased to exist as a class , and many of their descendants became assimilated to imperial society . at the court in saint petersburg they were awarded positions of chancellors , marshals and ministers , or , like nikolai gogol , entered into history as outstanding russian writers . a new class was formed in the ukraine \u2013 the intelligentsia , who would preserve ukrainian traditions and inspire the modernization processes : the struggle for civil rights and the cultural autonomy of the ukrainians both in the russian and the austrian empires .\nthe growing consciousness of national identity and the ensuing tension between the suppressed and the dominant nations in eastern europe turned out to be one of the crucial causes for the outbreak of world war i in 1914 . on the other hand , the class conflict that had been imminent for many years , together with the horrors of the war and general misfortune , resulted in the bolshevick revolution in russia in 1917 . in 1918 the ukraine declared independence , with professor mykhaylo hrushevsky as its spokesman . independence was defended for three years by the forces of chieftain petlura , hetman skoropadsky and the ukrainian galician army . unfortunately , the strength and aggression of neighbouring states , together with internal discord , brought all those efforts to naught . the ukraine emerged from the chaos of the war and the revolution not as an independent entity but as a part of the soviet russia , poland , rumania and czechoslovakia . had the ukrainian revolution been utterly defeated ? history was to show that those enormous efforts had not been wasted .\nthe third part of the four - part series \u00ab the ukraine . the birth of a nation \u00bb spans the period from the 1921 riga peace treaty which marked the cessation of hostilities in eastern europe up to the yalta conference in 1945 , which re - drew state borders and determined the zones of influence in europe after the second world war .\nthe polish - bolshevick war of 1920 caused the greatest change in state borders in eastern europe . the bolshevick government formed the ukrainian soviet socialist republic from the lands of central , eastern and southern ukraine . in 1922 that republic incorporated into the soviet union . the remainder was annexed by poland , czechoslovakia and rumania .\nthe totalitarian regime of the soviet union subjected ukrainians to a period of intense social engineering , the results of which became engraved in the structure and mentality of the ukrainian people . the new economic policy ( nep ) provided relative freedom in the economy and trade , as well as comparative well - being in towns and villages . the policy of \u00abukrainization\u00bb brought about an unprecedented surge in national consciousness , and in many ways the ukraine became into a fully fledged , consolidated nation . but the 30s were marked by a dramatic change in politics , and all the important gains of the previous decade were crushed . \u00abthe great transformations\u00bb did create a huge industrial potential in the ukraine \u2013 but at the price of exterminating the nationally conscious elites of the country , cultural and agrarian , who were either executed or exiled to the gulags . the ukrainian village lost its traditional character in the course of collectivization , during which small hold farms were turned into collective farms , and the farmer himself became apathetic .\nother fates were to meet those ukrainians who happened to become citizens of poland , czechoslovakia and rumania . the most freedom was given to them by the government in prague , while warsaw and bucharest resorted to a policy of assimilation . nevertheeless , ukrainians in halychyna ( galicia ) managed to gain undeniable successes in cultural , social and economic spheres . unfortunately , polish - ukrainian relations in the poland of the 30s were overshadowed by the conflict between the growing tendencies towards autocracy and ethnocentricity among the polish power base , on the one hand , and the nationalistic radicalism of the ukrainian underground oun ( organization of the ukrainian nationalists ) , on the other hand . escalation of the conflict into acts of extreme violence occured took place in volyn and halychyna in 1943 \u2013 1944 .\nthe ukraine suffered unprecedented losses during the world war ii . millions of the ukrainians were killed on both the sides of the frontline \u2013 as soldiers of the allies , german units , communist guerilla detachments , or the ukrainian insurgent army . about 700 towns and over 28 , 000 villages were destroyed in the ukraine . losses among the civilian population amounted to 5 . 5 million .\nhowever , not all the results of the second world war were as disastrous . for the sake of propaganda and in order to preserve the appearance of sovereignty , stalin introduced the ukraine to the uno as a founder member . but the most significant point was the fact that the territories , that had been the parts of poland , czechoslovakia and rumania before the war , fell within the state borders of the ukrainian ssr . in that fashion , for the first time in many centuries , the ukrainian lands became reunite\nthe nuclear disaster in chernobyl in 1986 caused a shock , which turned into an important catalyst for the collapse of the soviet union . the policy of \u201c perestroika \u201d and \u201c glasnost \u201d proclaimed by mikhail gorbachev went beyond its prescribed limits . the nationally conscious democratic opposition in the union\u2019s republics , together with the party elite , promptly proclaimed independence in the ruins of the soviet union . the ukrainian parliament announced the declaration of ukraine\u2019s independence in august 1991 , and in december of the same year over 90 % of the soviet ukraine\u2019s population confirmed their support of the proclamation in a general referendum ; ukraine\u2019s independence became a fact ; a week later the soviet union ceased to exist .\nthe great euphoria of independence was soon supplanted by pessimism caused by the difficulties of transformation . although the ukraine did succeed in establishing itself on the international arena as an independent state , its political system did not avoid certain striking weaknesses . the attempt to falsify the results of presidential election in 2004 induced the outbreak of the orange revolution . millions of people all over ukraine rose against the authorities\u2019 abuse of power to express their will to live in a truly free and democratic country . will the orange revolution change the ukraine for long ? will the ideas of kyiv\u2019s maydan set a positive model for people and power ? the development of events in the near future will provide the answer .\nin spring 2004 i accidentally read a book written by the then president leonid kuczma titled \u2018ukraine is not russia\u2019 . the title surprised me .\nare you missing some information about the movie or is something on this page incorrect ? if so , we would really like to know about it . write a few lines to us editors and we ' ll take a look at it .\nchristianity in ukraine explained in 35 minutes by right rev . dr . andriy chirovsky\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nsashko danylenko also directed the well -

violent mystery from japan\u2019s tetsuya nakashima seems to tread vaguely similar ground to his 2010 hit , confessions .\ntetsuya nakashima\u2019s thriller \u201c the world of kanako \u201d might be filed under what some cineastes call extreme cinema . but screen overkill \u2014 and i mean kill \u2014 is more like it .\nthe isu world team trophy 2017 ( wtt 2017 ) closes today to both a beautiful and moving exhibition gala as figure skater kanako murakami announces her retirement from the sport .\nthe world of kanako is such a nihilistic movie that it doesn ' t appear to treat any topic as taboo . as a filmmaker , are there any subjects you shy away from ?\nin yet another iteration of the old nightclubs - as - dens - of - vice trope in local films , in \u201ckawaki\u201d the glimpses into kanako\u2019s secret world in are less judgemental than representative of nakashima\u2019s dark view of the human race . there is not a pleasant character in the entire film , though some are less reprehensible than others .\nthe first local summer blockbuster of 2018 represented over 77 % of the total box office last week .\nthough the splashy credits for \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d recall the devil - may - care genre mash - ups of seijun suzuki ( \u201cbranded to kill\u201d ) , nakashima strikes a considerably less playful tone , despite his exuberant displays of ultra - violence and mayhem . the film has more in common with paul schrader\u2019s \u201chardcore\u201d \u2014 by way of \u201cthe searchers\u201d \u2014 but in the absence of a moral center , it\u2019s less about a father discovering a lurid underworld than about him exposing the internal rot his daughter has inherited like a birthright . it\u2019s the stuff of grand guignol tragedy , but \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d doesn\u2019t pause long enough from visceral ugliness to allow any deeper emotions to sink in .\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 .\nif you can handle the excessive nihilism , the world of kanako may reveal itself to be something more than just a punishing journey , revealing a family rot that ' s been handed down from father to daughter .\n\u201cthe world of kanako\u201d contains elements of \u201c bad lieutenant , \u201d \u201coldboy\u201d and even \u201c the searchers \u201d but filtered through a lens that\u2019s so covered in grime and blood that many people will consider the nihilistic trip not worth the effort . it\u2019s a film that\u2019s tempting to dismiss because of its bleak , misanthropic viewpoint on the world , but that would be discounting the quality of the filmmaking and the riveting performance at its center . based on akio fukamachi\u2019s \u201chateshinaki kawaki , \u201d tetsuya nakashima \u2019s \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d is such an in -

wook park . yet , the film you\u2019re imagining right now is probably wildly different than the world of kanako .\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 .\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\none of the girls on the photos turns out to be the daughter of kanako ' s teacher . so as akikazu confronts her we learn that the teacher tried to stop kanako from drugging / pimping her daughter . as kanako refuses , she stabs her to death with a screwdriver . akikazu forces her to show him where she hid the body but they never find it .\nin confessions ( 2010 ) and the world of kanako ( opens november 6 ) , you show us parents who fail to realise that their children have been doing something very wrong . why are you drawn to this topic ?\nthis year\u2019s gala exhibition was particularly moving as a guest figure skater joined the performing skaters during the exhibition . japan times reports that japanese figure skater kanako murakami appeared at the world team trophy 2017 gala and performed for the last time , after announcing her retirement during the closing ceremony .\nthe gala exhibition at the world team trophy 2017 looked like one of the happiest and equally heartwarming competitions of the year so far . closing the gala was renowned figure skater yuzuru hanyu , who shouted at the top of his lungs , \u201csan , ni , ichi\u2026 arigatou gosaimashita ! \u201d this translates to \u201c3 , 2 , 1\u2026 thank you very much ! \u201d\na father\u2019s search for his missing daughter takes the \u201clittle girl lost\u201d scenario to gruesome extremes in \u201cthe world of kanako , \u201d a relentlessly unpleasant and ultimately banal journey into a broken family\u2019s heart of darkness . writer -

sucking detective asai ( satoshi tsumabuki ) , who simply giggles at all of the mutilated bodies and despair he encounters throughout the film , especially akikazu\u2019s . asai\u2019s mindless schadenfreude perfectly embodies the cartoonish violence , brain - dead misanthropy , and cheap emotional manipulation that underlies the film\u2019s vicious and ultimately pointless attack on the viewer\u2019s psyche .\nthe world of kanako is guaranteed to reach these heights of insanity , and even has an enticing plot to boot . it delves into the mysteriously maniacal underbelly of japan , and the style draws from an insane variety of films - from oldboy and i saw the devil to the wacky styles of quentin tarantino and yes , sion sono . it ' s a formula that might seem unoriginal at first , but really works perfectly well with the story and its pace . a few times , a much - needed injection of adrenaline is put into the story , picking up the more expositional parts and running away at\u2026\na mentally unstable alcoholic and former cop , akikazu fujishima ( k\u00f4ji yakusho ) , is thrown back into a the role of detective when a brutal murder brings him into collision with former coworkers . in the midst of this , fujishima is contacted by his ex - wife , distraught about the disappearance of their daughter , kanako ( nana komatsu ) . as fujishima searches for the truth of kanako\u2019s disappearance , the narrative twists and turns endlessly , revealing connections and intricate stories beneath the surface of the main narrative .\nnow to the rest of the movie : he gets caught by matsnunaga and his guys but they are also hunted by the yakuza since kanako talked matsunaga into blackmailing the old perverts who were customers in the child - prostitution ring .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthe world of kanako could very well serve as a cautionary tale for parents worldwide . in fact , i ' d go so far as to say that it ' s must - see for anyone with children , whatever their age . that ' s not a joke and it ' s not an exaggeration : i ' ve seen this kind of thing happen in the real world , and it ' s not pretty - nor should it be ; it should be just what it is here - in your face and down and dirty . too often people ( especially here in these delusional united $ tate $ ) sugar - coat life and pretend all ' s right with the world . well , it ain ' t , and the world of kanako is closer to reality than anything you ' re likely to see at your neighborhood multiplex .\n- just when i thought it was was safe to go back into the classroom again confessions director tetsuya nakashima returns with an even more soul destroying dose of cinematic brutality . the world of kanako continues on the same nihilistic downward spiral into darkness as confessions . . . just louder and faster . it really is time to think about home schooling . . .\nthe world of kanako has every chance to go off the rails , but it doesn\u2019t . it\u2019s solid and it\u2019s experimental and dark as hell . despite a wealth of ' 70s exploitation influences that are made extremely apparent in the film\u2019s campy opening and fight scenes , you never get the sense that you\u2019re watching an exploitation film . it\u2019s much more apt to approach kanako as an arthouse film , because hidden beneath a veneer of soulless violence is a film that challenges viewers with unique storytelling and a visual playfulness .\nfrom the beginning , \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d is designed in a way to be unsettling . the opening scenes with close - ups of sweaty faces spurting lines like \u201c i love you \u201d and \u201c i\u2019ll kill you , \u201d set the dual themes of the piece\u2014love and violence\u2014but they do so in a way that\u2019s discomforting . there\u2019s a sense of displacement and confusion , especially for the first act , that\u2019s not unlike a late night in a club . you barely hear snippets of conversation over the loud music , and fujishima and editor yoshiyuki koike don\u2019t hold a shot for more than a few seconds . even scenes of dialogue between two relatively normal characters\u2014like when fujishima is talking to kanako\u2019s classmates or her doctor\u2014are cut together from several angles .\nakikazu notices a picture of akiko , the teacher\u2019s daughter . he goes and confronts the teacher about this . she confesses that she has killed kanako and has buried her someplace . akikazu is crazed with rage by now . he wants kanako alive so he can kill her for the trouble she has gone around causing . he forces to get the teacher to dig kanako up but she has no memory of where she has buried her . the movie ends .\nthe hit director of confessions , memories of matsuko and kamikaze girls is currently in post -

fillers anyway .\nworld . .\nis an extremely unpleasant movie and will leave a bad taste in your mouth , kind of like what tarantino would make if he was high on crack and decided\nthe hell with you .\none thing i will say is that this movie is\nmemorable .\nkanako murakami\u2019s retirement during the world team trophy gala did not come as a surprise to many figure skating fans as she has been hinting about this retirement ever since the 2014 sochi olympics . back in 2012 , at the golden skate forums , one member posts a quote from murakami talking about her future in the sport .\nkanako is the devil . and her world makes one filthy , hard - boiled , ruthless , garbage stench of a film , reeks of depraved violence , senseless abuse all presented in frantic , drug - induced editing . intervals between hysterical shouting and bloodshed are non - existent , it ' s deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole we go . no escape , just craziness piled on top of craziness - - - in short , one fucking hell of a ride .\nfrom the very first utterances in the film \u2014 \u201ci love you\u201d and \u201ci\u2019ll kill you\u201d \u2014 \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d expresses the duality of love and hate that akikazu possesses for his daughter , but it doesn\u2019t shift tones as readily as it migrates timelines . though yakusho delivers a fine and unexpectedly physical performance , following his character through one abusive encounter after another becomes a grueling ordeal , especially when it\u2019s fattened to two full hours . as the search for kanako turns his gaze ever - inward , the audience winds up understanding him a lot faster than he understands himself .\nhe also kills the girl with the short , grey hair . iirc at the murder scene akikazu finds a key to a locker in which are the photos of the girls with their customers .\nafter saving so many lives on the day of the tsunami and being swept up by the waters herself . . . . she still lives in the small space of refugee housing they call ' kasetsu ' ( temporary shelter housing ) . for me they remind me of the internment camps that japanese canadians lived in during the war .\nnext he goes to a restaurant to meet kanako ' s old middle school classmates where he finds out kanako had contacts with a drug - provider . ( this scene is confusing because akikazu himself points to a picture of a drug - provider name matsunaga as if he already knows matsunaga has ties to kanako ) .\nsilly though the action becomes , nakashima produces quick , kaleidoscopic cuts that not only impress with their coolness ( insert music video comparisons here ) , but say something about the quicksilver nature of kanako in particular and the dionysian spirit in general , with its unsettling shifts from the angelic to the demonic , from the wildly celebratory to the unconscionably cruel .\njohn williams presents a made - in - japan take on one of kafka ' s classics written at the start of world war i and published in 1925 after its author ' s untimely death , franz kafka ' s\nthe trial\nis one of those novels everyone knows by reputation ( or , in my case , from a fe . . .\ncut to the flaps of a hummingbird\u2019s wings , \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d doubles back to at least four different timelines , but the gist of it is reasonably straightforward . yakusho stars as akikazu fujishima , a disgraced ex - detective who loses a second job as a lowly convenience - store security guard following a triple murder . his situation gets markedly worse when his ex - wife , kiriko ( asuka kurosawa ) , reports that their teenage daughter , kanako ( nana komatsu ) , has been missing for the better part of a week . largely an absentee father , akikazu gets to know his daughter through the investigation , which reveals enough wrongdoing to get her grounded for several lifetimes .\nthankfully , there\u2019s not much else that didn\u2019t work in the film . the acting , especially from yakusho , manages to be wild , emotional and somehow grounded . there\u2019s a real vulnerability and sadness to yakusho\u2019s performance , and despite the tone of the film , none of the acting ever feels broad in any way . rather , it\u2019s realistic , if a bit intense . kanako herself plays a sociopathic teen in a way that\u2019s a bit over - the - top , but for most of the film , the acting helps to ground us amongst the intensity of everything else .\nthe great yakusho ( \u201c 13 assassins \u201d ) plays akikazu fujishima , a retired cop who seems to live for nothing . not long ago , he caught his wife having an affair and plowed into their car before pulling the man from the vehicle and beating him . he hasn\u2019t seen his daughter kanako ( nana komatsu ) in a long time , pops pills and has taken to vomiting in rainy alleys . when he learns that kanako is missing , he is given new purpose , although his misanthropy makes him something of a loose cannon . as he descends to a world of drugs and prostitution to try and find kanako , nakashima flashes back and forth chronologically to tie the two timelines together and reveal what happened to kanako .\nwhether or not one will enjoy the world of kanako depends most importantly on their level of tolerance for and ability to enjoy extreme violence and nihilism in a story . still , even if one doesn\u2019t enjoy the film , its construction deserves praise . nakashima has an arthouse sensibility in the way he experiments with editing , and his postmodernist approach blends genres , narrators , and disjointed stories into a story that ends up feeling very cohesive . not only that , this approach has the dual function of reflecting its characters .\nrenowned japanese figure skater miki ando went to twitter to post a photo commemorating kanako murakami .\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nwhatever anger has landed on her heart in the jungles of trumplandia , patti smith consistently performs the miracle of putting it down , as seen in her recently published prose - poem , the new jerusalem .\ncan ' t remember the name of that movie you saw when you were a kid ? or the name of that video game you had for game gear ? this is the place to get help .\nin comes the narrator . he is a boy who is a weakling and is constantly bullied at school by a small gang of bullies . kanako meets him . he falls in love with her at first sight . she shows interest in him too . kanako spends some time with him and he takes this to be a sign of love . he understands that kanako once had a boyfriend called ogata who eventually committed suicide . he mentions to kanako that he wants to disappear with her someplace else . kanako asks if he too wants to be like ogata and get to know her more . little does the narrator know what he\u2019s getting into .\nakikazu talks to two of of kanako\u2019s classmates emi morishita and tomoko nagano . they don\u2019t give him much information . akikazu smells a rat and later assaults emi morishita to get information . emi escapes but tells akikazu that kanako is the devil and got nagano into the prostitution ring . later , nagano tries to go to the cops about the prostitution ring but there are senior cops involved in this . the department orders a detective by the name aikawa to kill nagano and she is killed .\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\nkanako did make it to the 2014 sochi olympics . however , she failed to make it to the podium . her last medal was a bronze at the grand prix cup of china season 2014 - 15 while her last gold was at the four continents season 2013 - 14 .\nshe gets the narrator to come to a party where he gets drunk and is eventually caught and handed to the prostitution ring . he gets physically abused . kanako has lived up to her word of making the narrator \u201cbecome\u201d like ogata . furthermore , he is caught and beaten up and thrown into a river . the narrator is now pissed and wants vengeance so he follows a girl from the gang that throws him into the river . he tortures her to get kanako\u2019s location and goes after her . on meeting kanako he is unable to kill her as he is still in love with her . the narrator gets killed by a person in the shadows . this was always kanako\u2019s plan . the killer is most likely matsunaga .\nakikazu opens the locker to find photo evidence that kanako has been collecting . in the photo akikazu identifies the senior cop that is involved in this . in the photos there is kanako too . akikazu assaults the senior cop into giving up more information on the prostitution ring and learns more on how his daughter has become evil and has been helping old men get to young school girls .\nthe exhibition will feature six of japan\u2019s up - and - coming photographers selected by ima magazine . three photographers , kanako azuma who applies her unique view of the world to her moving images to tell stories , fumi ishino who focuses on life within contemporary society with humor and a global perspective , and naohiro utagawa who creates still life infused with elements of improvisation , will show new works created especially for this exhibition using panasonic lumix dmc - gx8 cameras . other photographers , including hideyuki ishibashi , harumi shimizu and yutaka komase , will take your mind beyond the two dimensional representation . this is an exhibition you will surely enjoy the wealth of young artistic talent which invites us into a bold new world , with each photographer\u2019s work showing their individual approach to their subjects .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nunfortunately , where kanako falters is perhaps in its\u2019 convoluted plot . it\u2019s surprisingly not too difficult to follow , but has a definite tendency towards the tangential and lingering scene . it doesn\u2019t detract excessively from the impact of the film . but at two hours , the film has trouble sustaining its\u2019 breakneck pace near the end .\ni wouldn ' t judge my viewers by their age . by regulation , the world of kanako is only for people aged 15 or above in japan , so my audiences have sort of selected themselves . [ in hong kong , it is classified category iii , for people aged 18 or above . ] personally , i don ' t think children should be prohibited from watching my movie . i trust my audiences to make their own judgments about the story . i don ' t think we should show children only the positive side of things and conceal the negative side from them . after all , the subjects of my movies do exist in reality .\na popular high school teacher concocts an extreme plan to deal with the rise of bullying and bad behavior among the student body .\nso from my understanding akikazu was able to connect the dots by sheer memory alone . he was able to match the matsunaga ' s high school picture with the picture shown by the lollipop cop in the beginning of the film . even though matsunaga looks completely different !\nstarring aya ueto ( oshin , thermae romae ) and kengo kora ( a story of yonosuke , snakes and earrings ) , the film tells a story of a family who endures eras of turmoil together through their cooking .\nray davies seamlessly transitions to the role of director and shapes his artistry for a new format .\nbut when kanako deigns to befriend the boy , he can\u2019t help being grateful \u2014 and more . \u201ci almost feel like a human being because you are here , \u201d he says in a voice - over . perhaps kanako , appearances to the contrary , is human as well .\noccasionally the arena hosts competitions , closing the rink to the general pubic . call the rink at 052 - 614 - 6211 ( japanese only ) to confirm the opening times for the day you want to go .\nakikazu gets abducted by the yakuza who are looking for kanako as she and matsunaga have been causing a lot of grief thanks to the blackmailing . they show matsunaga who is kept in a body bag , sliced up and alive . on realizing that akikazu wants kanako dead too , the yakuza give him the name of the person who kills nagano - detective aikawa . akikazu busts into aikawa\u2019s home and physically abuses his wife and calls him for a meeting . the two of them meet . it turns into a bloodbath . it becomes a massive confusion with detective asai showing up too . akikazu leaves them wounded and escapes .\nthis frantic , fractured movie is unpleasant in a variety of ways , and is probably for fans of japanese cult movies only .\nthe three - day weekend gross ( excluding previews ) of july 6 - 8 was \u00a36 . 2m\nthen he goes to her old middle school teacher who tells him she knew kanako had ties to drugs but said nothing . at this point akikazu assumes that kanako went back to matsunaga and matsunaga knows where she is .\nhe recognises matsnuga in kanakos yearbook . the lollipop - cop showed him a photograph of matsunaga ( now with piercings and dyed hair ) at the beginning . he says something like\ndo you know one of these guys , they are involved in drugs\n. so as akikazu sees matsunagas photo he thinks he is the one getting kanako on drugs .\nkanako goes on to further get involved in the prostitution ring . she convinces other students from her school to get involved and make some money . kanako indulges with some old men too . she also collects multiple evidence against the prostitution ring . she joins hands with matsunaga in blackmailing the old perverts . the yakuza don\u2019t like this . it is bad for their business .\nsince members of the police are among the customers , the lollipop - cop ( can ' t remember his name right now ) got a professional killer to wipe out all the evidence and witnesses ( he also killed the 3 people in beginning ) .\na second thread concerns a skinny , bullied high school nerd ( hiroya shimizu ) , who makes the mistake of falling for kanako . his own search for her eventually becomes a grisly rite of passage into bloodthirsty manhood . a sharp tool , a cheek and an ear lobe are involved .\nat the berlinale , gaga also has a tale of samurai cooking - a true love story directed by yuzo asahara in the culinary cinema section .\nas former detective akikazu searches for his missing daughter , kanako , he soon learns she has a mysterious secret life .\nat the film\u2019s heart are questions of the strength of link between parent and child , but if their hearts are vaguely similar , their execution is anything but . where confessions plays out like a chilling arthouse horror , kanako seems to be a typical detective - searches - for - child film at first , before devolving into an insane mix of exploitation , high school drama , gang film , and procedural .\nthe film is a non - linear story told about an estranged father searching for his missing daughter - kanako . the more he searches , the more he discovers about her . it\u2019s quite a twisted tale and is a good watch .\ntraditionally , the competition concluded the world championships and showcases figure skaters from usa , canada , japan , france , russia , and china . selected skaters from the different figure skating disciplines ( men\u2019s singles , ladies singles , pair skating , and ice dancing ) compete to put together points , which then add up to determine the winning country .\nlest you think \u201cthe world of kanako\u201d is a playful homage or a stylish ride , be warned . this is a movie with enough gore , rape , murder , drug use and horrible behavior to make takashi miike blink . it is not an easy watch . and it does feel sometimes like excess for the sake of excess . but then star koji yakusho will do something unexpected emotionally or nakashima and cinematographer sh\u00f4ichi at\u00f4 will find a striking image and the movie will win you back . like the characters who are constantly either in love or murderous rage , nakashima pushes and pulls at his own audience .\nthe yakuza did not want this because they realized it would be a threat to their business . so akiakzu gets in the crossfire of that conflict .\nwait a minute . . . wait , you ' re telling me akikazu raped kanako ? wow . i mean , i knew the father almost strangled kanako to death but he actually raped her too ? oh my god . i need to watch this movie again , christ .\nthe start of the movie shows akikazu , retired police lieutenant , searching for his daughter . the case is also being handled by a detective detective asai - the smug guy with a lollipop . he has his own vested interest in this prostitution ring and wants to keep it under the covers . while he doesn\u2019t stop akikazu from looking for kanako , he doesn\u2019t help in any which way .\nthe rape of kanako through her father is shown very quickly ( one or two shots only , iirc ) and you might take it as a confusion or halluzination of akikazu ( he is quite beat up in that sequence ) . but in the novel it is clearly stated that it happened . there it is the main reason for kankaos downfall , where in the movie there is more room for interpretation . like kanako trying to seduce her father , showing her total loss of normality . she comes across like pure evil in the movie . although the movie is very violent and feels like a punch in the guts , i really enjoyed it . one hell of a ride and a real tour de force by the leading role . it has some very dark humour , too . like the killer living a happy family live , the one akikazu always dreamt about but never had . the corny 70s music and akikazus fights with police . the more he is trying to fix everything up , the more he destroys it . after all , he has serious psychological issues ( you see his medication at the beginning ) and finds out that he might have caused all that suffering by himself ( abusing kanako ) .\nkanako is a girl who grows up in a broken family . her father , akikazu fujishima , is an alcoholic and is a terrible father . the mother , kiriko fujishima , is no good either . she\u2019s shown to be an absent mother . a specific moment is shown to turn kanako to the evil side . akikazu is an abusive father and busts into her room drunk and assaults her . this turns to a vague sexual retort from kanako . perhaps this is not the first time , perhaps he has abused her before and kanako has just learn to live with this by reacting the way she does . obviously , kanako grows up to become a crazy young girl . she grows up to be someone who draws on weaknesses of people and uses that to ruin their lives . yeah , she\u2019s an evil bitch , like that .\n\u00a9 copyright 2018 variety media , llc , a subsidiary of penske business media , llc . variety and the flying v logos are trademarks of variety media , llc . powered by urltoken vip\ni think i would ' ve liked reading the source material for this movie . seems like a good read . the actual movie on the other hand , it was a bit of a hit and a miss for me . i liked the colors , the great acting , and the fact that kanako ' s dark secret wasn ' t something i saw coming . however , i felt like it started out great and then kind of dragged on a little bit on the second half just to end as a totally confused mess . too many characters and too many sub - plots all of a sudden . i think with a little bit of editing and focusing more on some of the characters ( like the bullied boys who were in love with kanako , or the thug girl ) the movie would ' ve been a bit more interesting . if you want to watch something violent and gory , with a decent story and a dark twist i would recommend it . it ' s pretty unique . i wouldn ' t buy it , but it was entertaining , a decent watch .\nin that pic a middle school teacher ( takako matsu ) takes slow - burning revenge against two students she believes killed her toddler daughter . the pic earned $ 38 million in japan , making it the 7th highest - earning local film for the year , and it topped the box office in other parts of asia . \u201cthe human feelings of love and hate are not always so far apart , \u201d nakashima explains . \u201c\u2019kanako\u2019 is a film i felt that i had to make . \u201d\nall the actors did their job . they were amazing , but the story was . . . bleh . it started off strong and kept you interested , but as mayhem broke loose at every corner , i started to become impatient with the story . the constant drama actually got me bored to where it felt like an eternity before we ' ll ever learn about kanako ' s whereabouts , like i looked forward to seeing the end credits more than kanako ' s reunion with her father . as for the violence , it was just too much to the point where i actually don ' t even cringe anymore when it happens . all the characters were hopeless , like there ' s not even one character that ' s likable . if anything , all the characters were plain ridiculous . some of the dialogues for these characters made me frustrated . it ' s the kind where they beat around the bush instead of saying it out and clearly . like i literally got confuse at some parts and had a hard time differentiating on what was real or imaginary . the constant switching between past and present starts to get out of control . even after this movie , i was left with more questions than answers . i think what really made me disappointed with this movie is the lack of explanation and closure for some of the issues and characters ( * coughs * the cops * coughs * ) . then again , my disappointment may be due to the high expectations i had because of tetsuya ' s other works ( confessions , memories of matsuko , and kamikaze girls ) . with the genre of this movie being tetsuya ' s style , i thought he was going to deliver , but i was wrong . 6 / 10 for the story , but the real highlight of this movie is the editing and acting .\na scene in a drug - fueled party attended by kanako plays with youth culture through a liberal use of emojis in the frame , showing that nakashima is very deliberate in his staging and style , while at the same time unafraid to take risks in order to convey characters in unusual ways . we get a sense of kanako not only through what other characters say about her , but also through the way she is shot . nakashima sees visuals as not just an opportunity to reveal emotion , but to reveal character , as well .\n- k\u00f4ji yakusho plays scumbag , alcoholic ex - cop akikazu who is tasked with searching for his missing daughter kanako . what follows is an investigation of sorts . but only if your idea of an investigation resembles a drunken bender involving murder , rape , car crashes and numerous beatings . . . both delivered and received . while akikazu embarks on his wayward odyssey into depravity , kanako ' s school yard exploits are\u2026\nalright , that i did not know at all . but why didn ' t the professional killer take the key with him ? iirc the grey - haired girls friend told akikazu about the key so i guess the professional killer just thought the key was nothing ?\nadapting akio fukamachi\u2019s novel \u201chateshinaki kawaki , \u201d nakashima gives himself the latitude to reach beyond akikazu\u2019s perspective in learning new things about kanako \u2014 a curious choice for a film that\u2019s much more about father than daughter . the film flashes back to three years earlier , when kanako\u2019s relationship with a bullied teen showed a diabolical talent for seducing and manipulating the weak . it flashes back to the incident on christmas eve that cost akikazu his detective job and his marriage simultaneously . and as akikazu questions the kids in kanako\u2019s inner circle , like the vulnerable nami ( fumi nikaido ) or drug - pushing yakuza wannabe morishita ( ai hashimoto ) , it flashes back to relationships where his daughter wasn\u2019t always playing the victim .\nsubscribe to indie & film festivals : urltoken subscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken the world of kanako official trailer 1 ( 2015 ) -

go boy through the pretext of making a documentary film about him , with the guys knowing each other only as\ndoc\nand\ngo .\nit was the best gay film i seen since noah ' s arc & queer as folk and it was so raw and real ! great job ! ! . hat off to wayne virgo for making it feel real .\nsession a : new work in deaf studies at osu . brenda brueggemann , professor , english & disability studies , faculty leader , asl program , the ohio state university ; marla berkowitz , ma , cdi , aslta provisional , senior lecturer , asl program , the ohio state university ; and trena shank , senior lecturer , the ohio state university .\na standard definition dvd presentation , watched on a 40\nwidescreen hd television , upscaled to high definition . viewed in a 1 . 78 : 1 aspect ratio . tla releasing ' s presentation of the film is good enough .\nbefore there was strictly come dancing there was a little student film tripping the light fantastic with some lovely characters . . . . . 20 years ago this year ! 1993 - 2013 - how far have we actually c . . .\nconsequently , while one side is drooling and barking insanely , worth observing only periodically to ensure that none of its members is approaching with a sharpened shank or chewing through his own tongue , all the substantive policy - crafting , such as it is , occurs between the least and most wild - eyed , reality - indifferent , and business - subservient wings of the democratic party .\nwhen watson comes to find holmes after his boxing match in the first movie , holmes ' experiment with his violin and a jar full of flies is a recreation of a similar scene in the basil rathbone film the adventures of sherlock holmes .\nmoriarty is always one step ahead of holmes , managing to pull off his schemes without a hitch while distracting and misleading the good detective at every turn . by the end of the film , with minutes left to go , it looks like\na tortured love story set in the streets of bristol , \u2018shank\u2019 follows young drug pusher cal ( wayne virgo ) . confused about his sexuality , cal belongs to a rag - tag gang , and is closest to jonno ( tom bott ) , with whom he shares a handful of homoerotic encounters ( \u201cin the film there\u2019s the blow back scene , which i kept calling \u2018blow back mountain\u2019 , \u201d jokes bott ) . but when cal attempts to extricate himself from the gang , and falls for natty - dressing french exchange student olivier ( marc laurent ) , he discovers that getting out is going to be even harder than coming out .\nin this session the presenters will screen the award - winning short film , body & soul : diana & kathy and follow - up with a panel made up of the subjects , the filmmaker , and moderated by gfem . the film captures a unique 40 year friendship while humanizing the issues of independent living , the aging of people with disabilities , and the importance of and tools used in effective advocacy . the film and follow - up discussion provide concrete examples of how leadership can come from the ground up . the importance of independent living and the need for effective advocacy from all sectors will be reinforced . the session will underscore the fact that disability rights are human rights and , as such , require a seat at every policy discussion .\nin the first film , the warner bros . shield , village roadshow w , and silver pictures square appear as metal - worked sewer covers on a cobblestone street ; the camera pulls back to reveal the street as part of the movie ' s opening chase .\nit ' s also demonstrated to have a severe limitation ; that no allies interfere in the fight . notably , in game of shadows , holmes plans out a curb - stomp battle for an assassin he finds in the rafters , only for the not - so - damsel in distress to try and shank the guy with throwing knives . his plan thus foiled , he is forced to grab the girl and run .\nterrific sequel to the equally brilliant shank . i think the former was more harrowing but this is close - cal succeeds with the heart strings too , by bringing in cal ' s mother and shining its light into corners of his life which are emotionally powerful . top notch acting from wayne virgo , tom payne and all the cast make this gritty , visceral , powerful cinema . hats off writer and director christian martin .\ndo you reserve particular contempt for the film out of its inverse popularity , or its inherent qualities ? i mean , a lot of bad films are being consistently farted out by hollywood , and that without your comment ( not that i ' m expecting it ) .\nshank is a powerfully modern drama showing the fine line between what it means to have a reputation vs . what it means to find real love and the harsh denial that comes with it . also touching on issues of discovering one ' s sexuality through shady means , but ideally leaving a message of what it means to hurt somebody while maintaining the heart , dignity and kindness when the person who hurt them is hurt themselves .\nwas and remains a very watchable , even thought - provoking science fiction film , despite - - please note this - - its sometimes middling special effects . it took a terrible actor , arnold schwarzenneger , and put him in a role where his stiffness could actually work .\na 16 -

a rough , fearless examination of today\u2019s youth culture , where issues of sexuality , masculinity and violence inform and enforce our chaotic world . \u201ci\u2019d not seen anything like it before , \u201d affirms 19 - year - old virgo , whose friendly , rapid - fire vernacular is the polar opposite of cal\u2019s muted uncertainty .\n: an interesting version , as holmes imagines at least some fights before starting , pointing out the weaknesses he ' ll exploit , and then we get to see the fight again in real time . this is applied interestingly later in the film ; in every fight where holmes gets his ass kicked , the\nartists appearing on the jazzed media label include phil woods , bud shank , terry gibbs , bill holman , bob florence , bill charlap , brian lynch , hubert laws , marvin stamm , bill mays , carl saunders , don menza , christian jacob , irene kral , jackie & roy , bob lark , jim mcneely , mel martin , benny carter , frank tiberi , jeff hamilton , john clayton , jeff clayton , lorraine feather , judy wexler , frank derrick , and matt wilson .\nin the first film , holmes observes that one of the mooks is partially deaf , a heavy drinker , and has a slight limp , and proceeds to bring him down with four attacks ; one each to the ear , liver , and knee , plus one to the vocal chords to stop him screaming .\nafter shank im a little disapointed if im honnest . cal is very slow moving maybe the budget wasnt as big as it was for the first film . last 10 mins in whole is sad and well what happened to cal . . a cliffhanger i guess . . . think it could have been a little more upbeat as it was set in bristol iv been many times and it can be party party even when the chips are down . it was nice to see wayne back on screen , he is a good actor and the team around him aregood at what they do . if i may lastly add if there is going to be a return of cal tho i feel there may not please up the stakes give cal a good time and lets see him happy . lets wait and see . . .\n, today , and when i say\ni saw avatar today ,\nthe reader should note that this entails spending upwards of $ 9 to sit in a movie theater for three to six hours - - honestly , i lost count - - to watch a story that has already been rendered in film several times . *\nthis just wasn ' t my cup of tea . all a bit stagey and preachy and i don ' t think anybody involved has been anywhere near a real prison . and the plot twists make no sense - all for effect with no real logic . the cover picture is selling a very different kind of film . . .\non the other hand , this excuse has it somewhat backwards . a corollary is that a filmmaker gets only so many opportunities to make a film , so this should constitute a reason to step back and take the time to make it as well as possible : story , casting , effects , performances , directing , all of it .\nwhether stan kenton led his innovations orchestra through some crazy but genius classical - jazz big band fusion , or gave rising musical stars like maynard ferguson , bud shank , and so many others their own big breaks , the man did it with innovative style , and a fearlessness and humanity not found in many jazz circles . producer / director carter knew it , recognized it , and has set about documenting it through countless interviews with those kenton has helped mentor and give voice to , rare performance footage of his orchestra , and really rare archived imagery .\ngetting crap past the radar : even for a pg - 13 rated movie , cocaine is never mentioned in the 2009 movie . however , at one point watson looks at some bottles , picks one up and says disgustedly ,\nyou do know what you ' re drinking is meant for eye surgery .\ncocaine was used for anaesthetic in eye surgeries in the late 1800s . in the second movie mrs . hudson says that holmes has been living on cigarettes , coffee and coca leaves . cocaine is made from coca leaves . ( meanwhile , holmes is shown drinking formaldehyde as watson repeats his earlier comment , only this time reminding holmes he ' s drinking embalming fluid . ) though the effect of consuming coca leaves and cocaine are completely different . coca leaves work like energy drinks and in this case makes more sense , considering holmes energetic behaviour .\nbareknuckle boxing matches from the time had a more open ruleset than modern day boxing , including wrestling and some striking variety as portraited in the film , but a boxer finishing off his opponent with a kick should have made the judges scratch their heads . presumably justified because they are too shocked ( and intimidated ) with holmes ' s quick victory to notice the fact .\ntla releasing us ' s library of some 200 gay , horror and international titles for dvd , tv and vod is available for acquisition . tla will continue to acquire and produce films such as redwoods , shank and chef ' s special . however , it is seeking a us distribution partner . its other entities , parent company tla entertainment group , tla releasing uk , tla video retail outlets and www . tlavideo . com [ / link ] continue to operate unchanged . this has been coming since november when rich wolff [ / link ] richard wolf and richard ross left tla to form rich releasing .\nsimplistic and crude in the final analysis . accents all over the place with a large splash of rp coming in particularly from the lead boy and , of all characters , the girl gang leader . as for her suddenly revealed motivation for such appalling behaviour - well , i groaned out loud . then there was the repressed gang member who committed the rape . in some ways the most difficult part in the film . to sustain convincingly it needed an actor of range and invention . sadly here , the actor knew only anger by compressing his brows together and no other expression . rather embarrassing . the french lad was too camp for me to believe he would work for cal but then who knows ? i did feel that the intentions of the film were of the best .\nwrithing with untamed sexuality and aggression , this blistering british indie centers on cal , a teenage thug so desperate to hide his gay cravings from his gang members that he binges on drugs , anonymous sex and acts of violence . but the bad boy ' s secret desires are uncovered when he rescues a kind - eyed french exchange student from one of the clan ' s sadistic hate crimes . though the two boys fall passionately in love , cal ' s crew is bent on revenge for his betrayal and the young lovers are placed in unspeakable danger . unapologetic and as poignant as it is shocking , shank is a must see .\na totally uneven film that seems unsure what it is , an urban hip - hop music video or a drama ? i ' m ashamed to say my mate and i turned to each other and we both decided to walk out . ten pounds i wish i ' d never spent . sometimes the main reviews of timeout are totally way off and i have to say this was one of them !\n27 - year - old johan ( vincent rottiers ) lives alone on his father ' s farm in south - central france , tending to the land and shuttling his mentally unstable sister between the countryside and a nearby institution . as winter sets in , johan becomes increasingly isolated , neglecting his girlfriend and fixating on a wolf that has never been seen but that he is certain is endangering his livestock . john shank ' s elegant drama , hailed by variety as\nstunningly shot , languidly paced . . . assembled with impressive confidence and featuring quietly powerful performances ,\nfollows the solemn alienation of a man desperately holding on to a bygone rural existence .\nhollywood silencer : holmes is trying to build one early in the film , much to the annoyance of watson and mrs . hudson . somewhat subverted , since the silencer does not work . at all . of note is that the creators have shown their work here , he ' s using a nagant , which forces the cylinder forward to seal the chamber , making it the only revolver that can actually be suppressed .\nit is wrong to look for good points in this pile of ordure just because the filmmakers are young and british . unless we have filmmakers with more to offer , there is nothing to gain from supporting a domestic industry . this film shouldn ' t have been made . having been made , it shouldn ' t have been released . i can only hope it wasn ' t subsidised by the taxpayer in any way .\nthere is probably someone or something more egregiously half - assedly named in the annals of film - - perhaps\nthe dark side\nfrom george lucas ' s typewriter - bound monkey troupe , as if the oppressors of the universe go around labeling themselves as\ndark\nrather than light , good , fair , and balanced ; or ever concede they ' re a\nside\nof anything rather than its whole .\na friendly little western film with two great leading men that doesn ' t seem to dare to scare its audience all that much . there is relatively little tension , a bit of banter and a somewhat anticlimatic ending . at least the road there is somewhat unpredictable and refuses to follow the well known paths of the genre all that closely . entertaining and satisfying enough . zellweger is a classic mis - cast , though .\nfinally , reckoning day is something different altogether and mainly gathering attention for a dvd release on 14 september \u2013 a \u2018no - budget\u2019 with a \u2018mega - budget\u2019 storyline ( action thriller about international drugs gangs ) picked up by revolver entertainment . of interest are reports of a controversial advertising campaign involving the taking of the drug \u2018salvia\u2019 which is likened to lsd and the fictional drug that is used in the film , including videos posted on youtube .\na great , sensational and old - fashioned entertainment crafted by a superb performer and fine filmmaker . a masterpiece . a skillfully and brilliantly made western laced with wit and adventure . it ' s packed with explosive action and dazzling suspense . a thunderous and breathtaking classic that will astound you . ed harris and viggo mortensen are magnificent . harris is magnetic , giving one of his best performances and an excellent approach as the director . mortenson is outstanding , giving another compelling and fantastic performance . renee zellweger is extraordinary , you truly believe this actress can truly play anybody . jeremy irons is riveting , giving a knockout performance . a powerful and unforgettable film . an exhilarating film that will move you with it ' s power , characters and story . a great amount of action , thrills , fast - humor , romance and drama . it ' s pure excellence with great character development .\nimperial stormtrooper marksmanship academy : there is an outstanding amount of\nno one was hit\nin both films , from both the good guys and bad . which is exactly the way it usually is in a real firefight , especially with the era ' s relatively inaccurate guns . while there are more deaths in the second film , most of them are red shirts , and / or are at the hands of sebastian moran , the cold sniper dragon .\nchoke holds : a thug sneaking up on holmes is put in a blood choke by watson . to prevent the guy from screaming , holmes immediately pinches off his nose and mouth . they chat for a bit even as watson chokes the guy into unconsciousness , and once the thug has passed out , move on . at the end of the film , dredger has to be slowly air choked because he ' s just too darn big for anything else .\npearce was as stunned as anybody . \u201cit was quite a bold decision for them to make , \u201d he nods . \u201ci immediately loved the story and wanted to do it , but i was worried about being able to deliver on their expectations , it\u2019s obviously a story that is very close to them . christian and darren have been happy slapped and queer bashed . a lot of the themes in the film were derived directly from experiences they have had . \u201d\n: jr .

up but none more quietly captivating than the light shines only there , a film that explores the complicated emotional networks that defines a troubled lower - class family and the aimless depressive that becomes entangled within it . the film moves quietly along pondering many questions on the nature of life , love , death , loss , sex , violence and all of the messy stuff that lies between . so what light shines at the end of suffering ?\nthe sense of emptiness of the emotionally wounded tatsuo , the sad beauty of chinatsu and the awkward kindness of the violent , yet amiable takuji are superbly portrayed by the actors in this heart - breaking film . depicting people finding a ray of light and attempting to live in a hopeless world , \u2018the light shines only there\u2019 is tinged with intense feelings and heavy sadness .\nthe light shines only there is bathed in sunshine . unlike two other recent films set in the grim world of small - town hokkaido , kumakiri kazuyoshi\u2019s sketches of kaitan city and my man , light foregoes bleak winter landscapes for a hakodate summer . this world is hot and sweaty , with blinding rays of light reflecting off the ocean , the actors\u2019 faces and through the windows of darkened homes and hotel rooms .\njapan has selected \u201cthe light shines only there\u201d as its national contender for the foreign - language academy awards race . directed by woman director oh mipo , the film is a drama about an unemployed man\u2019s slow reinvigoration through a love affair with the emotionally damaged sister of a friend . the film was previously the closing film of [ \u2026 ]\nand the earth was formless and void , and darkness was over the surface of the deep ; and the spirit of god was moving over the surface of the waters . then god said , \u201clet there be light\u201d ; and there was light . and god saw that the light was good ; and god separated the light from the darkness ( genesis 1 : 2 - 4 ) .\nmyth # 1 : lighting is complicated and should only be done by a professional .\nnowhere is this more poignant than in the relationship between chinatsu and tatsuo , two people who are clearly aching for some small piece of contentment to heal their many wounds . for all its grimness , light can\u2019t seem to let go of hope . the light may shine only briefly , and only in a place just out of reach , but it\u2019s there .\nthe light shines only there follows tatsuo , a heavily depressed and unemployed slacker coasting by through life on his savings , slowly widdling it all away at a pachinko parlour . one day while drowning his sorrows in pachinko , tatsuo meets teen delinquent takuji , befriending him and ultimately finding himself wrapped up in the struggles affecting takuji\u2019s family .\n\u201cwhere the light shines through\u201d will be released friday . it is the band\u2019s first release on vanguard records , whose roster also includes jerry lee lewis , bruce hornsby and indigo girls .\ni don\u2019t get to see a lot of contemporary japanese cinema as so little gets released these days in europe . there is an annual japanese film festival here in ireland which shows a fairly random selection of some commercial and independent films . in previous years i\u2019ve not been particularly impressed by the films i\u2019ve seen , especially the mainstream studio productions . after searching through a few reviews there was only one that seemed interesting to me \u2013 t he light shines only there , which is quite a low budget independent film , but was picked as japan\u2019s entry for the academy awards last year .\nthe light shines only there is a masterful journey into the dark depths of the depressive state of the oppressed lower - class . the under - lying rage at the core of the film spits out like the magma of a volcano about to erupt , only to conclude quietly before the breaking point , leaving a bright light of hope shining through , at least for the moment . that is what ultimately defines this caste of society , the moments of hope that one day things will be better , the fleeting smiles and fading lights , the spark that lights a flame in the heart of us all . the light that shines only there details all of this vividly never shying away from the gritty side of things . it is certainly not a film for everyone , with its relatively low quota for action and relentlessly slow yet meticulous pace , it is not going to excite the easily distracted \u2013 this is a film for the thoughtful .\nthis article originally appeared in arama ! japan titled : \u201cher light shines everywhere : a look at female filmmaker mipo o\u201d and written by hypermoot , with edits by ryan .\nmay god grant that we may not only see the light in personal salvation , but that others may see the light in us , as we live lives that are marked by goodness , righteousness , and truth , to his glory .\nthe 12th annual bro -

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

4 , etc . ) . paul understood that the gospel of our lord was a \u201clight , \u201d not only for jews , but for gentiles as well :\n1 in the beginning was the word , and the word was with god , and the word was god . 2 he was in the beginning with god . 3 all things came into being by him , and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being . 4 in him was life , and the life was the light of men . 5 and the light shines in the darkness , and the darkness did not comprehend it . 6 there came a man , sent from god , whose name was john . 7 he came for a witness , that he might bear witness of the light , that all might believe through him . 8 he was not the light , but came that he might bear witness of the light . 9 there was the true light which , coming into the world , enlightens every man . 10 he was in the world , and the world was made through him , and the world did not know him ( john 1 : 1 - 10 ) .\nwe are not left to wonder what \u201clight\u201d is like . light produces certain fruit . the fruit of the light , 111 paul tells us , is goodness , righteousness , and truth . 112 goodness is the predisposition to do that which is both wholesome and helpful , what is beneficial . righteousness encompasses all that is consistent with the holy character of god and which meets the standards set down by his word . truth not only excludes falsehood , but it includes only that which god\u2019s word defines as true , truth as god\u2019s word declares it .\nat the beginning of this creation account , the earth was dark and in disarray ( formless and void ) . at the end , it has light and is ordered . the progress is from darkness to light and for disorder to order . light was created by god to separate darkness and light . paul will later draw on this creation of light and relate it to godly living ( see 2 corinthians 4 : 3 -

oriented directors who knew their audience and how to employ melodrama as a vehicle for social critique . though this film isn\u2019t nearly as forthcoming in those terms in either tone or content , the male specimens it puts forth range from apathetic to criminal to sexually dysfunctional to mentally and physically disabled , or some combination thereof . as was the case in many of those older movies , there isn\u2019t much to pick from here for the opposite sex .\nat least the film is doing alright in japanese cinemas ( i hear it has had an 8 -

23 ; romans 13 : 11 - 14 ; 2 corinthians 4 : 3 - 6 ; 6 : 14 - 18 ; 11 : 13 - 15 ; colossians 1 : 9 - 14 ; 1 thessalonians 5 : 1 - 11 ; 1 timothy 6 : 13 - 16 ) . when he does so , i believe that he expects us to understand his references in the light ( no pun intended ) of the progressive development of the light / darkness theme in scripture . i believe that his citation in verse 14 of ephesians chapter 5 not only draws upon the \u201clight\u201d imagery of isaiah , but also of the rest of the scriptures . let us pause to consider the development of this prominent and powerful image through the scriptures .\n108 psalm 19 is particularly interesting , as god\u2019s revelation is described as \u201clight . \u201d in those verses which speak of god\u2019s revelation of himself through his creation ( verses 1 - 6 ) , the sun is prominent as the light emitting source ( verses 4 - 6 ) . the psalmist then speaks of the revelation of god through his word ( verses 7 - 14 ) . in psalm 119 , the word is referred to as \u201clight\u201d ( verses 105 , 130 ) . in psalm 19 : 12 , while the term \u201clight\u201d is not employed , the word of god is spoken of as that source of illumination that reveals the psalmist\u2019s secret and hidden sins .\n\u2022 steel gobo steel has long been the material of choice for producing professional - looking gobos . steel gobos have a design cut into a thin steel disc . the light shines through the cut out portions of the gobo . the benefits are that the steel gobo will give you a perfectly clear image with absolutely no imperfections . this is considered a professional - grade gobo . steel gobos can also be used over and over . the negatives are that the price is higher to produce a custom steel gobo , and there are some limitations in the designs available . for example , certain letters need to include a connecting piece of metal to form the letters correction , such as a , o , r , p , q , and b .\n\u201cfor thus the lord has commanded us , \u2018i have placed you as a light for the gentiles , that you should bring salvation to the end of the earth\u2019\u201d ( acts 13 : 47 ) .\nsecond , to walk as children of light is also to walk in love . all too many play down our obligation to walk as lights by emphasizing their intention to \u201cwalk in love . \u201d we dare not attempt to separate these two aspects of our christian walk . paul has just spoken of our \u201cwalk in love\u201d in ephesians 5 : 1 - 6 . now , in verses 7 - 14 , he presses on to remind us of our responsibility to \u201cwalk as light . \u201d there is no conflict . if we do no walk as light we will not be walking in love . love does not \u201csupport\u201d the sinner and the expense of righteousness . love admonishes , rebukes , and seeks to restore the sinner in the promotion and practice of righteousness . note the close connection of \u201clove\u201d and \u201clight\u201d in paul\u2019s letter to the romans :\nthe world ' s largest carmaker , volkswagen ' s diesel emissions -

a gobo projector \u2013 also referred to as monogram lighting \u2013 is one of the latest trends for weddings and special events . in general terms , a gobo is an image that is projected onto a wall or dance floor , usually displaying the names of a bridal couple , wedding date , or monogram . technically speaking , a gobo is a disc that light shines through to pr oject an image onto any surface . the word \u201cgobo\u201d stands for \u201cgoes before optics . \u201d a special gobo projector is used to project the gobo image . the gobo projector has lenses that focus and shape the light after it hits the gobo image . led gobo projectors use \u2013 as the name suggests \u2013 led lights , which produce an optimal image while using less energy than a standard light . gobos can be made of a variety of materials , including transparency ( plastic ) , steel , and glass . the quality of the projected image varies based upon the type of material used for the gobo .\n\u201cthen your light will break out like the dawn , and your recovery will speedily spring forth ; and your righteousness will go before you ; the glory of the lord will be your rear guard . \u201d \u2026 and if you give yourself to the hungry , and satisfy the desire of the afflicted , then your light will rise in darkness , and your gloom will become like midday\u201d ( 58 : 8 , 10 ) .\njapan\u2019s image overseas might have a funhouse aspect , but even many outlanders who live here only get a selective view of the place , since their japanese colleagues and friends mostly come from the educated , middle - class stratum of society and live more or less stable , law - abiding lives .\nour lord himself came as the \u201clight\u201d ( john 1 : 1 - 13 ) . those who acknowledged their sin turned to him for salvation , while those who preferred darkness to light rejected him ( see john 3 : 16 - 21 ) . we , like christ , are to live as children of light as a part of our calling to reflect and reveal christ and to proclaim the gospel . it is the contrast in our conduct with that of the world which makes the gospel clear . it is by our contrast with the world that we fulfill our obligation as \u201clights\u201d :\nq . what is a gobo ? a . a gobo ( or gobo ) derived from\ngo between\n,\ngo blackout\nor\ngoes before optics\n, originally used on film sets , is a physical template slotted inside , or placed in front of , a lighting source , used to control the shape of emitted light . just like a slide that goes into a slide projector , a gobo goes into a light fixture . the light fixture has to be equipped with a special lens system for projecting gobos . gobos have to withstand the extreme heat that strong light fixtures produce , that\u2019s why they are made from heat resistant materials such as glass or metal .\n\u201cit felt like we took our time in the studio . but , in many ways , this record took us a couple of decades to make . it pulls from things we\u2019ve learned from every other album we\u2019ve made , in a way , and that feels really healthy . so , in some ways , this album took nine albums to make . i feel like there\u2019s lyrics and ( thematic ) elements we\u2019re talking about on this record you only can talk about through experience . \u201d"]}

( the victim\u2019s real identity , if it has been determined , has not been announced . ) another mine killing late that year in inner mongolia , a region of northern china , also left clues pointing to shisun village and nearby areas .\ndetectives descended on shisun and began questioning villagers . what they found were organized gangs devoted to serial killing for cash .\nget news and analysis from asia and around the world delivered to your inbox every day in the asian morning .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nsome participants recruited and killed the victims , having won their cooperation by promising good wages , friendship , even marriage . others posed as the grieving family members who turned up at the mine to demand compensation , the police have said .\nthe gangs disguised the identities of their victims , using stolen or bought identity papers that they persuaded or tricked victims into using , ensuring that their real families would not learn of their fate . most victims were quickly cremated by their fake families , making identification even harder and erasing clues about their deaths .\nthe other side of the equation that kept the business humming is the mine owners , who paid handsome sums to the impostor families in order to keep the deaths quiet . if a fatal accident were reported , the owners feared , safety regulators would shut down the mine for months while they investigated , several mine owners told the police after the killings came to light .\nif these killings sound like the plot of a thriller , that may be no coincidence .\nstill , many people have heard of the movie , and when the cases started coming to light , they were immediately described as \u201cblind shaft killings . \u201d\nsimilar cases first entered china\u2019s national consciousness in the late 1990s , when a gang with dozens of members was convicted of killing 28 migrant workers in shanxi province . those killings inspired the movie , mr . li said .\nsince then , the blind shaft scheme has been firmly implanted in the national psyche of a country peppered with thousands of notoriously dangerous mines . most likely , the shisun gang heard of it by word of mouth .\naccording to available court records , the pace of such killings appears to have picked up in recent years , possibly because compensation payments have grown . as china\u2019s regulators have clamped down on mine safety , driving down the number of accidents , the stricter regulation has perversely encouraged some mine operators to hide fatalities and pay off victims\u2019 families , increasing the incentive to carry out the crimes .\nthe recent killings have veered from the movie version in at least one conspicuous way . in the movie , the killers extorted 30 , 000 renminbi , or about $ 4 , 475 at today\u2019s rates , in hush money for one death . the shisun village gangs extracted payments of $ 75 , 000 to $ 120 , 000 from mine bosses , according to news reports .\nthe charges against the shisun suspects include homicide , faking accidents , swindling compensation , fraud and hiding crimes , though the police have not said publicly who is being charged with what .\nlong prison terms , and death sentences for the ringleaders , are likely , if similar cases are a guide . chinese courts almost invariably convict , and the suspects have not been allowed to publicly answer the charges .\nmr . wang was arrested early last year . his daughter , ms . hu , now acknowledges that he may have innocent blood on his hands .\n\u201ci think he did do something , but i don\u2019t blame him , \u201d she said . \u201che was doing it so that we could live a better life . \u201d\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nflim noir lived , loved , and thrived in the dark\u2014unlike many of its characters . but from the first flashing neon to the last crazy camera angle it was a director ' s medium .\nfemme fatale : peggy cummins and john dall shoot it out in joseph h . lewis ' gun crazy .

breaking , heart - aching couple , romeo and juliet .\nset in verona , italy , this is the story of two star - crossed lovers . the capulets and the montagues have been engaged in an ancient feud that has been lost to time . however , when romeo of the house of montague and juliet of the house of capulet meet and fall in love , nothing can stop them from being together , not even death .\nthis movie was very well made . the cinematography , acting , music , script , costume design , and set design were all well done . however , this movie lacked heart and soul . it lacked suspense or intensity , which was what romeo and juliet supposed to be about . it cut much of the swordfighting action and the music , while good , was underwhelming . that is actually thebest word to describe this whole movie . underwhelming . every scene i felt could have been done better if they had just performed more dramatically or if the music was more intense , or if the composition was more close - up . romeo and juliet is a masterwork of irony and this movie took it out completely . it was so rushed in a way that felt distant and just trying to push through it . it never settled at moments and it pains me to watch it . the only good scene was at the end when they killed themselves because of paul giamatti ' s performance . god , and i thought the 1998 version was bad , this one is even worse . watch the 1968 version for the good romeo and juliet .\nwhen you board an airplane , you put your life in the hands of the pilot and co - pilot . what happens in the cockpit when these professionals are faced with impending disaster ? charlie victor romeo ( code for\ncockpit voice recorder\n) dramatizes actual black box recordings of six harrowing airline emergencies , using the sparest of elements to foreground the unabashedly heroic professionalism of these unsung men and women . adapted from a critically - acclaimed theatrical production , the movie - shot and projected in 3 - d - puts you in the cockpit as they do everything possible to land under near - impossible circumstances : a plane that can only make right turns ; blown engines due to bird strikes ; or failed hydraulics , resulting from maintenance negligence .\nfor 80 minutes , the movie keeps you in something like suspended animation , waiting to exhale . you ' ve never seen anything like it .\n- scott foundas , village voice ( c ) film forum\ncharlie victor romeo ' s first chapter takes it easy on viewers , and on passengers ; no one dies when this flight ' s smug aviators clip some trees and miss the runway on an approach to a connecticut airport . what ' s memorable about this misguided trip is the way a pilot informs passengers that\nit might be a little choppy ,\nwhile smirking privately that\nthey ' ll be throwing up .\njealousy . prejudice . betrayal . and the chance that true love could actually conquer all . romeo and juliet perhaps the greatest love story of all time in its first broadway staging in 36 years stars orlando bloom , who rose to fame in the pirates of the caribbean , lord of the rings and hobbit films . bloom makes his broadway debut opposite the tony nominated condola rashad ( a trip to bountiful , stick fly ) .\ni ' ve just watched the\nromeo and juliet\nplay that i found on youtube and my tears still didn ' t dry yet . it was played last year on broadway and i don ' t understand why it has a small score on the gigantic imdb ( 5 , 3 out of 10 ) . i surely deserves 20 and not less . i ' ve read the shakespearean play when i was in the second grade and reread it in the ninth . i watched the movie in which acts leonardo dicaprio as romeo and i love leo . i ' ve even seen cartoons with\nromeo and juliet\n, but i ' ve never really felt the pain that lay ed in the characters ' hearts . i ' ve never been so overwhelmed at a play ( except that one time when i ' ve seen the actress maia morgenstern playing in\njacta\nat the national jewish theatre in bucharest ) and my tears are still rolling down my chicks . i ' ve never ever seen a more natural interpretation of romeo than the one that ' s been done by orlando bloom . his fear , his anger , his passion for juliet , he expressed them all so naturally that i felt them myself . i felt his pain so deeply when he was informed that he was banned from verona for having killed tybalt , juliet ' s cousin , in the day of their wedding . i felt his pain when he had to leave juliet in the morning , but his heart wouldn ' t let him . i felt his pain when he wept over juliet ' s body in the darkness . i felt his emotions so deeply that i found myself several times hiding with my fists a wall in my humble student room . this is one more reason , a reminder that i love orly so much . this is a reminder that i must take acting lessons this summer too . i don ' t believe there are words that could possibly describe how beautiful this play is . and orlando made it to be the best .\nin the city of verona , two families have a prolonged and ancient feud . the montagues and the capulets co - exist under the stern eye of the prince , but the hatred between the families threatens all , in particular the children . the young men of both families are hot - blooded and ready to fight at any provocation , despite the prince ' s edict against such fights . but when young romeo , a montague , first sets eyes on the virginal capulet daughter juliet , no enmity between families can prevent his falling in love with her , and her with him . from this risk - laden romance comes both joy and tragedy for all .\nbut mention of zeffirelli reminds me of a great production he did at the old vic in 1960 : all seething crowds and veronese colour . john stride and joanna dunham ( replacing judi dench ) were the lovers when i saw it , but my abiding memory is of alec mccowen ' s brilliant mercutio : he died unforgettably by maintaining , until the last second , the mocking tone of the sardonic jester . easily the best version since then was rupert goold ' s sensational 2010 rsc production . by putting mariah gale ' s juliet and sam troughton ' s romeo in modern dress while everyone else wore renaissance costume , he emphasised the lovers ' isolation . add in jonjo o ' neill ' s manic mercutio and eruptions of scalding heat , and you had a production that caught the play ' s intemperate wildness and disguised its narrative defects .\njio institute picked as an ' institute of eminence ' . selection panel head explains why\nhollywood superstar arnold schwarzenegger ' s ' terminator 2 ' harley -

then\u2014that was the beginning . sammy had no choice but to tell me everything , \u201d silber recalls , \u201cbecause nobody could touch that telephone , except sammy or me . sammy had been with hundreds of white girls , some quite big names , like ava gardner\u2014although that was no romance . that was just \u2018let\u2019s go over and get laid . \u2019 this was different . frank knew this was big trouble . he had to tell frank because frank had an interest in the sands . \u201d\nthe force of the attack would be , in part , that the female characters are unsympathetically treated , for instance that lucy nelson in when she was good is hostilely presented .\nthe peril began at dusk . says terrail : \u201cshe was jekyll and hyde . it was the drinking . she\u2019d be fabulous from 9 a . m . to 7 p . m . , until the mai tais were served . then it was an entirely different personality\u2014ava from hell , with whole nights of drinking , wild times , car chases . \u201d\nit fell to marsh to put davis\u2019s house in order . first he got rid of some of the paid entourage ; then he went around to the various casino owners to whom sammy owed money . \u201cso i came into the office and saw that he owed the sands hotel , \u201d says marsh . \u201che owed donjo medlavine , [ one of the three owners ] of chez paree . so now i come in and i see i\u2019m paying donjo medlavine in chicago . . . . i go to medlavine , who\u2019s getting not a lot , say $ 500 a week , but he likes that money coming in . so i say , we just can\u2019t do that anymore . i got his uncle and his father down to a minimum . it just went on and on . \u201d\nbut it wasn\u2019t all roses for davis . when marsh signed on as his business partner , he discovered that davis was deep in debt . \u201che\u2019d never been out of debt in his life , \u201d marsh realized . \u201cevery club wanted him , so they would say , \u2018here , sammy , take $ 5 , 000 . \u2019 so he would\u2014and then he owed them [ an engagement ] . that was the problem . he was playing clubs to pay off his indebtedness . \u201d\nthe next girl to walk through cohn\u2019s door was marilyn novak , a shy , plump , large - boned 20 - year - old from chicago with no acting experience but a breathtaking face . cohn had found his blonde . since there was already a marilyn , the first thing that had to go was her name . she balked at being renamed \u201ckit marlowe , \u201d and , incredibly , she won that battle . they compromised on \u201ckim\u201d novak\u2014the name of the son of her chicago friend and business manager , norma herbert , then norma kasell . kasell was running chicago\u2019s fair teens club for a local department store when she discovered novak , and helped groom her for a modeling career and a $ 400 scholarship to the patricia stevens professional academy . this led to her going to california to demonstrate refrigerators as \u201cmiss deepfreeze . \u201d\nhe third of the three films that jean simmons grudgingly made for rko pictures in the early 1950s was conceived as a screwball comedy but , beset with an uninspired script and a director who was well past his prime , it failed spectacularly to live up to its potential . as in her first ( and best ) film for rko -\nnovak had also asked to meet davis\u2014and she wasn\u2019t alone in being attracted by his intense magnetism . men seemed to consider davis ugly , because he was short and slight , his features flattened . but women knew better . his personal charisma was so great , his stage presence so sexually charged , that women were outrageously drawn to him . when the new york daily news columnist bob sylvester wrote cruelly , \u201cgod . . . hit him in the face with a shovel , \u201d davis was devastated . \u201cthat hurt , \u201d boyar recalls . \u201cit always hurt him . but after a while he got used to it , and he\u2019d say , \u2018it\u2019s getting me where i\u2019m going . \u2019\u201d\nwhat matters most isn\u2019t there at all . i don\u2019t mean the solutions to problems , i mean the problems themselves . you\u2019re looking , as you begin , for what\u2019s going to resist you . you\u2019re looking for trouble . sometimes in the beginning uncertainty arises not because the writing is difficult , but because it isn\u2019t difficult enough . fluency can be a sign that nothing is happening ; fluency can actually be my signal to stop , while being in the dark from sentence to sentence is what convinces me to go on .\nas the youngest of seven , ava had more in common with her nieces and nephews than with her older siblings . \u201cshe was a tomboy back then , \u201d says nephew al creech , who was born to her sister elsie in 1925 . \u201cwe\u2019d play marbles , and she could hold her own . in the summer we\u2019d use mattresses as trampolines , until our mothers caught us . \u201d .\nit\u2019s more useful for my mistakes to ripen and burst in their own good time . i give myself all the opposition i need while i\u2019m writing , and praise is meaningless to me when i know something isn\u2019t even half finished . nobody sees what i\u2019m doing until i absolutely can\u2019t go any further and might even like to believe that i\u2019m done .\n\u201cif you were there that night , \u201d one member of davis\u2019s entourage explains , \u201cyou\u2019d think , no wonder he hugged nixon . \u201d sy marsh believes that davis had spent the first half of his career making himself loved by the white world , and the second half trying to make himself loved by the black world . \u201cthat\u2019s the reason he married altovise gore , \u201d in marsh\u2019s opinion . \u201cshe was a black woman . it would open up more doors to his being accepted . \u201d\nthe fact that i am interrupting serious work to answer these questions proves that i am so stupid that i should be penalized severely . i will be . don ' t worry\nby the time davis was appearing in mr . wonderful , mastin and sam davis sr . were still part of the act , but everybody knew that they had stayed on too long . davis sr . gracefully stepped aside , but mastin just couldn\u2019t give it up . \u201cit was tragic , \u201d boyar remembers . \u201ceven when he was out of the act , it was still called \u2018the will mastin trio starring sammy davis jr . \u2019\u201d mastin would travel with davis and would insist on having his own dressing room , bringing out his costumes and makeup but never going onstage .\nsweet small town comedy with a misleadingly salacious title ( probably supplied by producer / perv , howard hughes ) . if it doesn ' t rise to the heights of . . .\nsilber recalls , \u201che sat her down\u2014he was sitting in a chair and i was sitting on the bed\u2014and he made her a proposition , to marry him for a certain sum of money . she would have all the rights that mrs . sammy davis jr . would have , but at the end of the year they would dissolve the marriage . she agreed to that , and that\u2019s what took the heat off . \u201d\noh when you really think about it there is just something so odd about these films were two people bicker throughout only to decide to get married by the end ! no matter how short a time they have actually known each other . it only ever seems to be disney who gets shit about it too !\nboyar also feels that davis knew how attractive he was to women . \u201csammy liked his looks\u2014he knew his face was ugly , but he worked on his body . he kept himself in fantastic shape and he was so immaculate . he had a wonderful v - shaped body , and he loved his little behind . he would make a point of it , he would say , \u2018isn\u2019t that adorable ? \u2019\u201d boyar feels that \u201che would have preferred to look like cary grant , but he was pretty satisfied with what he had . he recognized it worked for him . \u201d\nalways . months of looking at the manuscript and saying , \u201cthis is wrong\u2014but what\u2019s wrong ? \u201d i ask myself , \u201cif this book were a dream , it would be a dream of what ? \u201d but when i\u2019m asking this i\u2019m also trying to believe in what i\u2019ve written , to forget that it\u2019s writing and to say , \u201cthis has taken place , \u201d even if it hasn\u2019t . the idea is to perceive your invention as a reality that can be understood as a dream . the idea is to turn flesh and blood into literary characters and literary characters into flesh and blood .\nthere ' s one thing we ' ve got in this country and that ' s ways of fightin ' back . gettin ' the facts to the public . testifyin ' for what you know is right against what you know is wrong . now what ' s ratting to them is telling the truth for you . now can ' t you see that ? can ' t you see that ?\nnot so much the ideas as their background . i don\u2019t care for philosophers in books . they are always bores . a novel should be an experience and convey an emotional truth rather than arguments .\nthe energy comes in surges\u2014in bunched mini - waves , so rhythmically charged that they never bore the listener , even the listener who loathes every word that comes out of his mouth , every frown and eye - rolling grimace , every gesture of his right hand , which disposes of the world\u2019s idiocy in jerking sweeps to the side . in one patch in a recent speech ( the speech in which he read his proposal to ban all muslims from entering the united states ) , trump ran from hillary clinton ( \u201cshe\u2019s got no strength . she\u2019s got no stamina\u201d ) to the united states being \u201cripped off on trade , \u201d and then to veterans \u201cnot being taken care of , \u201d and then to generals wasting time talking on television , and then to \u201cbush\u201d ( mimics a

people ( \u201ci know a lot of tough people \u2026 but they\u2019re not smart\u201d ) , then to the money we \u201cowe\u201d ( \u201cwe owe nineteen trillion \u2026 trillion , trillion , trillion dollars . who the hell ever heard of the word ten years ago ? there was no such word\u201d ) , then back to the trade imbalance with china , japan , and mexico ( \u201cwe\u2019re going to build a wall . it will be a real wall . . . . it\u2019s gonna happen\u201d ) .\ni ' ve talked a lot about what\nthe witch\nis about without mentioning how well it ' s about it . that ' s partly because the film is so consistently engrossing that i surrendered to it early on . eggers ' hyper - mannered camerawork draws you in by evoking johannes vermeer ' s portraits and the landscape paintings of andrew wyeth ( there ' s also an overt reference to one of francisco goya ' s more famous paintings , but i can ' t tell you which one for fear of ruining a surprise ) . the complex sound design and controlled editing also help establish a mood that is ( paradoxically ) both inviting and somber .\nthe witch\ndraws you in so well that you won ' t realize its creators have been broadcasting exactly where they

. do it .\nit didn\u2019t take long for the gossip industry to go into high gear about the attraction between davis and novak . someone at tony curtis\u2019s party must have put in a call to dorothy kilgallen , the columnist for the hearst newspaper chain , who slyly asked in her gossip column , \u201cwhich top female movie star ( k . n . ) is seriously dating which big - name entertainer ( s . d

review , and once again i agree when i say it ' s more of a three star picture . i liked seeing mitchum in a role like this ; it was different change of pace from him , and in my opinion a very nice one .\nwell , setting the matter of form aside for the moment , we were interested in her attempt to relate you to the tradition of the family chronicle . is it in fact your conscious intention to recreate what she calls the pseudo - saga ?\nbritt knew that davis had risked his career to marry her . but there was a more intractable problem in the making : she had to compete with his need to perform , and that need ultimately won out . the marriage ended in 1968 .\nhe is asked to lure to the rooftop of his tenement building a young dockworker joey doyle , one of the informant union workers who is planning to cooperate with crime investigators by testifying ( before the waterfront crime commission ) against gangsters who tyrannically control the docks . terry shouts to fellow

that nearly all the women in the books are there to obstruct , or to help , or to console the male characters . there\u2019s the woman who cooks and consoles and is sane and calming , or the other

know how to cook . so do some of the dangerous maniacs . let\u2019s leave out the sin of cooking . a great book on the order of oblomov could be written about a man allying himself with woman after

a novel about this relationship from the point of view of claire ovington\u2014i\u2019d be intrigued to see how she saw it\u2014so why do you take a slightly critical tone about my writing the novel

least , a much more benign movie than that title and a credit reading\nhoward hughes presents\nmight be reasonably feared to portend .\ndavis couldn\u2019t get even a private message ( actually a

year ! the film was launched some 4 or 5 years back and now it looks very outdated one . the story is very interesting , but the way the director give the final product is very poor and not even worthy to write a review !\nbefore the release , dr . kalidoss has stated that he had been in the film industry for the past 15 years and that he completed a film titled \u2018thunichal\u2019 with arun vijay in the lead in the year 2008 . he also stated that though the censor board had cleared the film , arun vijay had \u2018purposely\u2019 delayed the release of the film by not completing his portion of the \u2018dubbing\u2019 work . as he had spent rs . 2 crores till date , the producer told vijay that he couldn\u2019t continue to shoot the film . meanwhile , he was asked by the actor to release thunichal after his \u2018malai malai\u2019 released . due to his non - cooperation , instead of releasing \u2018thunichal\u2019 in 160 theatres , i could release the film only in 16 theatres on 1 january this year , said kalidoss . due to this , i incurred a loss of rs . 1 . 5 crores , he added . \u201cdue to the mental harassment i had to endure because of arun vijay , i couldn\u2019t continue my profession as a doctor for the past 4 years . vijay has to pay me rs . 1 . 5 crores and till he does so , the release of his \u2018maanja velu\u2019 should be stayed till the 19th of this month , \u201d he had stated in the petition\nmuch as a second thought . if any part of the movie impresses , it has to be the final few portions which has a couple who feign love for each other with the real intention of killing each other with neither of them having a clue about the other\u2019s ideas . arun vijay seems to be in a lost plot after his malai malai high . but , ramana impresses with his cold villainy . other performances don\u2019t count for much . director majeed , who also has the story and screenplay to his credit , must have thought long and hard about the plot . this one fails to hold the viewers\u2019 attention right from the start . the \u2018lovers out to kill each other\u2019 thread could have been better used to give a few interesting scenes which would have enhanced the quality of the film . technically , there is nothing much that stands out and music by premji amaran fails to make any sort of impact . thunichal is a pretty low way to start 2010 for kollywood . it looks a jaded and unrefined product , the type that one won\u2019t be too pleased to watch . verdict : watch it if you have the \u2018thunichal\u2019\nramana is a mimicry artist who owned a studio also . he falls in love with shiva munjal , sister of his personal assistant , but unfortunately she is engaged with arun vijay . so ramana wants to take a revenge and murder shiva munjal ' s sister and arun vijay ' s brother , who also planned to get marry soon . after the murder , ramana cooks up a different story that turns shiva munjal against arun vijay . the misled minds then go about damning each other\ns lives . does the truth ultimately come out or does the crookedly cunning mind get the pleasure of seeing his plans work ? that is what thunichal is all about .\nnew year , new hopes , new beginnings , and new movies ! we have the first set of releases of this year , not anything big . thunichal starring arun vijay , ramana and new heroine shiva manjal is a tale of the havoc that a sadistic mind plays in the lives of many people . the owner of the sadistic mind has a very unique philosophy \u2013 what he cannot get , nobody else should and the object of his desire should self destroy . and , when he fails to get the lady of his dreams , he cooks up a devious plan to destroy everything in her life and drive her to self destruction . the plan involves a couple of murders and then misleading people about who is responsible for the deaths . the misled minds then go about damning each other\u2019s lives . does the truth ultimately come out or does the crookedly cunning mind get the pleasure of seeing his plans work ? that is what thunichal is all about . first , this is not the way we wanted 2010 to begin . there are seldom movies where murdering has appeared so easy . and then , the murderer so easily convinces people that someone has actually done it . all this seems to happen in some lawless land where there is no police or anyone to look into a murder . most characters in the movie seem to believe in an \u2018eye for an eye\u2019 method of life and that is why they set off to murder each other without so\nanbae ithu nijamthaanaa . .

door neighbor charley . less successful , perhaps , is georgia lowe ' s design , which places the action in a minimalist grey box of a set , with panels of light denoting different spaces . emblazoned with the stuttering neon legend \u2018land of the free ' , the message is not so much subliminal as stark .\nthere are some strange directorial choices too , such as a host of anachronisms among the furniture and props . so a beaten -

- ger .\nthis may be a function of his heritage and his travels , it may be hinting at the 19th - century stereotype of englishmen\ngoing native ,\nbut either way , the show seems to be using racial trauma mostly as delaney ' s mood music . three episodes in , it ' s still not clear whether delaney is in sympathy with the slaves and his nootka mother or whether he considers himself one of them . that ' s a key difference , and some delaney flashbacks suggest the identification is troublingly personal : that delaney himself is somehow channeling both native american and\nafrican\nsuffering .\nlet ' s hope the show justifies these choices , because it ' s one thing to explore the real horrors people of different races endured as a result of the east india ' s activities ; it ' s quite another to use that suffering as background to make a character more exotically mysterious .\nas for the\ntaboo\nfor which the show seems to be named \u2014 delaney ' s sexual relationship with his enigmatic married sister zipha ( oona chaplin ) \u2014 it receives surprisingly little screentime . three episodes in , i ' m not quite sure what delaney hopes to accomplish , or from what , exactly , he ' s suffering .\nthis is the trouble with the show overall : it ' s just not clear , even after three episodes , what the fascinating james keziah delaney wants . does he want to avenge his father ' s death ? to redeem his mother ' s suffering ? does he want to save his family ' s shipping company ? destroy the east india ? does he want to marry his sister ? kill her husband ? join the spies ? become an american ? reconnect with his people in nootka ? avenge slavery ? get rid of societal norms ? all of the above ?\nwe don ' t know . the east india ' s aims are clear ; delaney ' s are not . a character with a back story this massive will sink under its weight unless it ' s aggressively managed . but rather than manage it , taboo adds to the confusion via suggestive underwater scenes and hints of voodoo and visions of painted women . hardy moves through filthy corrupt london with menace and purpose and drive , but why ? to what end ?\ni prescribe tv shows to people based on their life problems . here ' s one for you .\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 .\nin the course of unraveling complex murder cases , the cracker mysteries allow viewers time to dissect the personal crises of their sleuths . although the madwoman in the attic isn ' t the most chilling of these imports ( made for british tv ) , it ' s a confidently directed and sleekly scripted study of complicated crime -

year old david was sent , instead , to a scientific facility so as to further their research on david ' s skill in extrasensory perception . through this gift david earlier learned of an african prophesy of a white boy to be their \u201cson of the moon\u201d god and he believed that he may be that child . but at this scientific facility david learned that this may not be so and with a couple whom he had befriended at the facility made their escape , heading toward africa where david ' s fate awaits him . enrique saldana plays david , and considering this was his first film appearance , he did a good job . although the film was long , about two hours , it could have been shortened somewhat without losing any of its zest . but in spite of this i still enjoyed the film .\nplot : a troubled teen ( christian slater ) forms a friendship with a reclusive ex -

year - old orphan who lives in europe , learns about the prophecy and believes that he is the chosen child and that destiny must be fulfilled at any cost . before david can fulfill his prophecy he must escape the heavily guarded scientific organization that has adopted him . david ' s strange behavior and the fact that he possesses extrasensory perception , has attracted the attention of an organization researching so - called\nprodigious beings\nin the occult tradition . david soon discovers that their goal is to channel the moon ' s energy into a child yet to be born , robbing him of his rightful place as the son of the moon . two women , victoria , a member of the center , and georgina , the future mother of the supposed moonchild , will help david fulfill his destiny . after several attempts david manages to escape the center and undergoes a series . . .\nfilm , in which simian roddy mcdowall attempts to peacefully coexist with conquered humanity . but not everyone goes along with the plan , especially with an impending nuclear threat .\nas the 1989 film tongues untied \u2013 still so relevant today \u2013 points out , it is common for black gay men to internalize a fear of one another and to buy into a push that we ought to flee into the arms of a white gay man . like worshipping a brad pitt - like portrait of jesus christ in church , it is easy for black gay men to internalize society\u2019s pressure to idealize white men and believe that salvation can be had by being closer to whiteness .\nthis is a good movie this it is about this one boy . he is called the moon child and he has the power of the moon he can move things with his eyes . that may not be word for word what that call it . later this boy and girl go to africa and there is this boy one thing that puzzles me i do not know if it is an african thing or not but the two boys tap each others tongues to each others . i missed a bit i had to read the subtitles and some times i was to slow just warning you there are about 2 nudity parts in it . on his voyage he does not use his powers much .\nspain\u00eds augusti villaronga followed up his fearsome masterpiece in a glass cage with this highly ambitious mystical fantasy . the film has many shortcomings , but its nightmarish aura is quite arresting .\nplot : a television series based on the explorations of colonel ed mccauley . the show attempted to show the real qualities of space , instead of the typical characteristics of a science fiction film .\neddie murphy was considered to play the villain this low budget horror film that ended up being a surprise success . i doubt the filmmakers would have even been able to afford murphy , as his salary at the time was likely almost double the film\u2019s shoestring $ 8 million budget . playing a bad guy in a horror film would have shown off murphy\u2019s diversity as an actor , but his own efforts in the horror genre \u2014 vampire in brooklyn , the haunted mansion \u2014 rank amongst his worst - received films . it\u2019s probably for the best that murphy only made two horror movies ; a third could have killed his career .\nplot : semi - sequel to the 1956 film . this one is set in san francisco , where the\nseeds\nfrom outer space are duplicating and destroying the bay area residents at an alarming rate .\nanother gift jenkins gives not just to american cinema , but to american culture , is that he depicts black boyhood as something worthy of rooting for to succeed . it is not especially difficult to make white boyhood precious . in the 2014 movie boyhood , director richard linklater encouraged the audience to hold as precious and unique mason , a banal and totally average white american child who existed in an imaginary nearly all - white texas . mason and his friend engage in petty vandalism , and also drink and drive \u2013 and yet , mason , \u201cno angel\u201d , was excused and held dear in a way a black child never would be .\ncasting is one of the most important processes in movie making . placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true . thus , casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities before going into production . lost roles is a weekly series that examines the missed opportunities \u2014 the roles that could have been \u2014 and explores how some casting choices that almost happened could have changed the film industry and the comedy world , at large .\ncasting is one of the most important processes in movie making . placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true . thus , casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities [ . . . ]\nparamount bought the rights to this pulitzer prize - winning august wilson play in 1987 at eddie murphy\u2019s urging , with the understanding that he would produce and act in the film adaptation . murphy , then 26 , wanted to play the main character\u2019s son , a high school athlete . he ended up leaving the project , and a film version of the play has yet to come together . like malcolm x and driving miss daisy , this was another chance for murphy to establish himself as a respected dramatic actor and a potential awards contender .\nplot : considered to be the worst film ever made . hilariously bad , it attempts to deliver an antiwar message as well as thrills and chills , but does not succeed . i watched the whole thing , and i ' m still not sure what the plot is .\njenny lewis started acting at a young age , appearing in commercials and tv movies , and making her television debut in a 1985 episode of the twilight zone . she acted throughout the late \u201980s and early \u201990s , with projects including episodes of the golden girls , growing pains , and roseanne , and the 1989 movie troop beverly hills . lewis successfully pivoted to music in the late \u201990s as a part of rilo kiley and continues to lead a successful solo career , seeing critical acclaim with her 2014 album , the voyager .\neven in the film\u2019s uplifting moments , it is depressing that everyone in chiron\u2019s life is either dead or living under some form of state surveillance . jenkins deals with this deftly , without being heavy - handed or dismissive , and makes the characters no less worthy of our support .\nplot : the most highly regarded sci - fi film of the 1950s . a futuristic space mission lands on the planet altair - 4 and finds a doctor and his daughter , who are all that remain from a previous colonization attempt , and an unseen force that does not welcome them .\nplot : the third film in the alien trilogy . ripley ( sigourney weaver ) crash - lands on a planet where an old mining facility is used as a penal colony for madmen and rapists . the evil alien has once again stowed away on ripley ' s ship , and battles ensues .\nwhen this film was originally conceived in the mid - 1980s , it was set up as a project for david bowie and mick jagger , who had wanted to do a movie together . jagger and bowie dropped out and eddie murphy was briefly attached before he passed and steve martin signed on .\nin 1985 , a young sean astin made his big - screen debut as mikey walsh in the goonies . then an unknown 14 - year - old actor with just tv movie credits to his name , astin led the film that would later become a cult classic . he kept busy with film projects throughout the \u201980s and \u201990s and earned acclaim for his turn as samwise gamgee in the lord of the rings series . in recent years , astin has filled his resume with voice work , lending his vocals to tv shows such as sofia the first , teenage mutant ninja turtles , and bunnicula .\ncorey feldman started acting when he was a child , appearing in commercials and making tv cameos . he got his big break in 1979 however , when , at the age of 8 , he debuted as regi tower in the bad news bears . feldman filled his resume with tv and film roles throughout the \u201980s and \u201990s , and branched out with an attempt at a music career . in recent years , feldman released a book , coreyography : a memoir , which followed his friendship with the late corey haim , feldman\u2019s public struggle with substance abuse , and his life growing up in the spotlight . he still acts , lending his voice to teenage mutant ninja turtles as slash and appearing in indie movies .\nit\u2019s the story of a love quadrangle , a child , a theater troupe , and a long winter . nathalie is pregnant , but the baby\u2019s father , stefane , leaves her for sabine , a set designer for the theater . sabine has just left bruno , an actor in the same troupe . nathalie tries to kill herself and is saved by her friend leni , as stefane then follows sabine on her theatrical tour . . .\nwhile picking beverly hills cop over ghostbusters was a smart decision on murphy\u2019s part , if he had somehow been able to balance the shooting schedules of these two films , it would have turned him into the biggest movie star in the world . taking part in ghostbusters would have also secured him a role in 1989\u2019s ghostbusters ii . although the sequel isn\u2019t held in high esteem by fans and critics , it was still a financial success . adding these two hits to his resume would have helped eddie murphy to better withstand the career slump he went through in the early \u201890s and kept him a first choice for casting agents , directors , and studio execs .\ngaining experience through tv movies and small - screen cameo gigs , kirk cameron became a household name thanks to his turn as mike seaver on growing pains from 1985 to 1992 . the child star then got his own spin - off with the short - lived kirk and soon turned his focus to religious work . the star , who is an evangelical born - again christian , largely restricts his on - screen work to projects that align with his faith , such as 2008\u2019s fireproof and 2014\u2019s saving christmas .\ntracey gold started appearing on the small screen when she was just 7 years old . at the age of 16 , she became a star with her role of carol seaver on growing pains . she starred on the sitcom for seven years and continued her tv work throughout the \u201990s and 2000s . gold wrote about her experience as a child star , as well as her well - publicized battle with an eating disorder , in the 2003 book , room to grow : an appetite for life , and has made recent appearances in tv movies .\nwhile she picked up early roles in the dean martin show and gunsmoke , melissa gilbert is best known for her 1978 debut as laura ingalls on little house on the prairie . she appeared on the original series for nine years , also reprising the role for tv movies . gilbert is still acting decades later \u2014 recently appearing as lisa daly on secrets and lies \u2014 but has shifted her focus as of late . the former child star announced in august 2015 that she was running for u . s . congress in michigan\u2019s 8th congressional district in the 2016 election .\nwith a career lasting over three decades , eddie murphy has his fair share of film parts he came close to playing . i know what you\u2019re wondering , and yes , there are roles eddie murphy has turned down . every major actor has a roster of missed opportunities and close calls , even \u2014 how shall i put this \u2014 those who are \u201cless selective . \u201d here\u2019s a rundown of eddie\u2019 murphy\u2019s lost roles .\nthe first time i saw moonlight , i was worried that it could create a dangerous takeaway message : that if black gay men want to lead full lives , they should try to escape from the violence of other black men and into the arms of whiteness . a reading of the film to that point could be saying that chiron\u2019s precious boyhood could not be trusted to other black boys and men and might better be nurtured elsewhere .\nfollowing appearances in two episodes of the twilight zone , danica mckellar snagged her second onscreen gig as winnie cooper in the wonder years . the child star played winnie for five years , going on to spend her late childhood and teens in front of the camera . mckellar , whose recent credits include voice work on transformers : rescue bots and phineas and ferb , earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from ucla in the late \u201990s and authored four books on math in recent years , including 2009\u2019s kiss my math : showing pre - algebra who\u2019s boss , and 2012\u2019s girls get curves : geometry takes shape .\nviewers first met ricky schroder in 1979 , when the then - child star appeared alongside jon voight and faye dunaway in the champ . after a handful of other big - screen turns , schroder hit the small screen as ricky stratton on silver spoons . he grew up in front of the camera , spending five years on the sitcom from 1982 to 1987 . he filled his filmography over the next two decades , playing dr . dylan west on strong medicine and mike doyle on 24 . he made a cameo as himself in 2010\u2019s get him to the greek and stepped behind the camera with directing and production company work .\nafter picking up early gigs in tv movies , soleil moon frye became a bona fide star at the age of 7 , when she nabbed the lead role in punky brewster . frye played the title character from 1984 to 1988 and continued to spend her childhood acting with cameos in tv shows like the wonder years and saved by the bell . decades later , frye still occasionally acts , lending her voice to animated series like planet sheen and robot chicken through 2014 . now the mother to three children with a fourth on the way , frye also co - founded moonfrye , a kids crafts company .\nthe same week moonlight opened , a sign commemorating emmett till , murdered for whistling at a white woman , was riddled with bullet holes \u2013 a 14 - year - old still considered suspect , six decades after being lynched . but white boys , like boyhood\u2019s mason , are considered innocent by default . as we saw the same actor , ellar coltraine , grow up on film over 12 years , we were encouraged to see him as the future of america , worth protecting .\nlukas haas spent his childhood in front of the camera , making big - screen turns in 1983\u2019s testament and 1985\u2019s witness , in addition to other tv and film projects . he filled his filmography with dozens of roles in the \u201990s and 2000s and , in recent years , was featured as a part of critically acclaimed films . haas appeared alongside leonardo dicaprio , joseph gordon - levitt , ellen page , and tom hardy in 2010\u2019s inception , and reunited with dicaprio for the 2015 release of the revenant .\nthe film moonlight is extraordinary for many reasons , but to me it is most so for two . first , it considers black boys to be precious , at a time when news stories perpetually make it seem as if the united states considers them to be utterly expendable . second , it acknowledges the effects that the stalking ghosts of premature death and incarceration have upon gay black masculinity \u2013 and it manages to do so without ever diminishing the lives full of complex humanity that black gay men still manage to have in america while navigating that reality .\neddie murphy admitted to passing on roger rabbit , saying he had thought it would be a disaster . he now regrets the decision and says he \u201cfeels like \u2018an idiot\u2019 every time he sees it . \u201d although murphy missed out on a major hit , i don\u2019t think roger rabbit would have worked as well with him playing eddie valiant . considering murphy\u2019s r - rated persona in the \u201880s , i was surprised disney offered this to him . eddie murphy\u2019s presence couldn\u2019t have hurt the film too much , though , as he was much more famous than actual star bob hoskins at the time , and he could have given roger rabbit an extra boost at the box office .\nthe film\u2019s director , frank oz , managed to pull two great performances out of murphy a decade later in bowfinger . if oz could get murphy to do so well in the late \u201890s , there\u2019s no doubt the two would have worked together well during murphy\u2019s \u201980s heyday . although steve martin replaced murphy in the role , i think this really could have worked with martin as the stuffy character that michael caine ended up playing and murphy in the role that went to martin . it could have been a big hit and it would have certainly been more satisfying than the unnecessary beverly hills cop and 48 hrs . rehashes that populated eddie murphy\u2019s filmography in the late \u201880s and early \u201890s .\nif eddie murphy had landed the grinch part , it could have thrown jim carrey\u2019s career off track . the grinch was a huge hit for jim carrey , proving he still had it and that his movies could still attract big crowds . the grinch was jim carrey coming up for air to make a sure - fire hit in between endangering his career with risky roles in man on the moon and the majestic . neither of those films ended up being commercial successes , and without the grinch to back himself up , carrey might have seen his career take a downturn . studios likely wouldn\u2019t have felt confident enough to cast him as the lead in bruce almighty , if his most recent hit had been in the 90s , and another actor could have taken that part . bruce almighty was the gasp for commercial air that kept carrey\u2019s career breathing while he plunged back into the less - commercial depths to make eternal sunshine of the spotless mind . without that part , his career may have been dead in the water .\nmurphy , a close personal friend of richard pryor\u2019s , who cast pryor in his directorial debut harlem nights , seems like he would have been a solid choice to play the comedian . it\u2019s going to be hard to please us pryor fans with any actor playing him , but i feel like murphy was a respectable selection and he showed in his stand - up film raw that he has pryor\u2019s voice , cadence , and mannerisms down . i\u2019m dubious about the marlon wayans casting , but he reportedly gave a 13 - minute screen test that impressed the producers , with some claiming he \u201ctransforms into pryor . \u201d time will tell if this project ever sees the light of day , as bill condon recently put it on hold to direct parts one and two of breaking dawn , the final two installments in the twilight franchise .\nstudio executives considered casting bette midler and eddie murphy as the leads in this oscar - winning film . this is perhaps the most shocking entry in murphy\u2019s cache of missed opportunities , and it\u2019s a part i don\u2019t think he was ready to pull this off at the time . morgan freeman\u2019s age is a big part of his character , and one of the reasons i can\u2019t imagine murphy in this role is that he was so much younger at the time . he was still in his 20s while this one was in production . slotting bette midler in the lead role is another odd notion , although she\u2019s done better with dramatic roles than murphy has . the midler - murphy version of miss daisy would have lacked the critical appeal and effectiveness of the jessica tandy - morgan freeman one that actually came to exist , but if murphy and midler\u2019s performances ended up being good , this may have still been a success and not the disaster that it sounds like .\nmurphy\u2019s four - year stint at snl was arguably what saved the show from the jaws of cancellation during the non - lorne michaels years , and every cast member and comedy writer who has used the show as a springboard to fame since owes their career to eddie murphy . he dominated the show , appearing in nearly every sketch and introducing a bevy of hilarious characters and impressions . his comedic persona was surprisingly well - formed for someone who was only 19 when he joined snl . murphy\u2019s first few movies , too , were just as strong as his snl work . 48 hrs . , trading places , and beverly hills cop were all massive blockbusters and critically - acclaimed comedies too , each one funnier and more financially successful than the one before it . murphy\u2019s early career had some real momentum going , more so than any film comedian i can think of at the start of their career . can you name someone who starred in three great movies right off the bat , without a slip - up ? if eddie murphy\u2019s entire career had gone as well as those first five years did , then he would without a doubt be deserving of icon status .\ndriving miss daisy was well - received at the time , scoring a boatload of oscars and nominations , including a best picture win . while this wouldn\u2019t likely have happened with midler and murphy as the leads , i doubt the presence of those actors could have steered the project too far off course . driving miss daisy may have still ended up acclaimed by critics and this could have been a transitional role for eddie murphy , allowing him to take on more highbrow and dramatic fare and helping him to bypass his fart - heavy mid - \u201990s family film comeback . hell , driving miss daisy was so beloved that murphy\u2019s trading places costar dan aykroyd even received an oscar nom for best supporting actor for his work here . it was the first - ever oscar nomination for an ex - snl star , long before bill murray\u2019s turn in lost in translation or murphy\u2019s own in dreamgirls . maybe murphy could have earned himself a nomination if he had been cast in this role . tom hanks and robin williams both pulled off the tricky comedy - to - drama transition around the same time , and if murphy had given it his all in driving miss daisy , he may have been able to follow their paths .\nback in 2005 , before inglourious basterds went into production , actor michael madsen announced to a reporter that quentin tarantino\u2019s cast for the film was to include himself , tim roth , eddie murphy , and adam sandler . while this sounds completely unbelievable and like madsen was just making this up , it is confirmed that roth and madsen were at one point attached and tarantino has said he wanted sandler to play the part that went to eli roth . but eddie murphy\u2019s casting sticks out most , and he\u2019s the one actor madsen mentioned whose involvement hasn\u2019t been confirmed outside of this one interview . tarantino has made a habit of casting forgotten actors and reviving them out of career dry spells ( john travolta , pam grier , david carradine , etc . ) , but eddie murphy still seems a strange choice for this one . tarantino has proven he has a strong eye for casting , and i doubt he would consider murphy unless he had the perfect role for him . it sounds absurd on paper , but maybe tarantino had figured out a great way to use him . this is something that could have revitalized eddie murphy\u2019s career and introduced a new side of him to audiences , but chances are this was just michael madsen feeding the press some misinformation .\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 .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nafter spending a night with a sensual prostitute , the king of spain decides that he wants to see his wife naked . his decision causes a real revolution amidst his subjects .\na fencing master in pre -

( his follow - up , \u201cthe kindergarten teacher , \u201d recently screened to acclaim in the latest cannes lineup . ) despite its fragmented structure , \u201cpoliceman\u201d is loaded with coherent insight into the nuances of contemporary israeli society .\nalthough an extremely violent movie , the laughing policeman benefits from skillful pacing , a literate script , and fine performances by walter matthau and bruce dern .\nan interview with writer / director boots riley about his incendiary new film ,\nsorry to bother you .\nwhile most movies might film an exterior shot and film the corresponding interiors scenes elsewhere or on a studio set , this movie was filmed at real san francisco locations , with the corresponding interior scenes filmed in those same locations .\ni don ' t know if this is enough to ground the film . the entire second act , and most of the third , for that matter , seem intended to bring our policeman to the director ' s intended conclusion . still , not an unpromising debut feature .\ndirector nadav lapid made several short films during his studies in the sam spiegel film school , which were screened in cannes , berlin and locarno . his graduate film , emile\u2019s girlfriend ( 50 min ) was distributed in france . he participated in the festival de cannes residence , where he wrote the script for policeman . the project won the pitching price of the jerusalem film festival and of the thessaloniki film festival in 2008 . keep on dancing , a collection of novels he wrote , was published in israel and france . lapid studied philosophy and history and worked as a sports and culture journalist , a television critic and documentary cinematographer .\nnamed best film at the 2011 bafici ( buenos aires festival internacional de cine independiente ) , in the international competition section .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nhe added that he felt the weight of getting the story just right \u2014 maybe more than anyone involved with the film .\na man accused of beheading his neighbour won the role of a policeman in an australian thriller but left town before filming his scenes as a nationwide manhunt was launched .\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 .\npoliceman is a movie starring yiftach klein , yaara pelzig , and michael moshonov . a member of an israeli anti - terrorist unit clashes with a group of young radicals .\nyiftach klein as a member of a counterterrorism unit confronted by a different kind of adversary in a scene from the israeli drama \u201cpoliceman , \u201d written and directed by nadav lapid .\n\u201ci started working on the film and doing my homework and research about a month before going to boston to film , and then maybe a week before going to boston i got [ dun meng ' s ] number from production , \u201d meng told the hollywood reporter .\nthe laughing policeman is an awfully good police movie : taut , off - key , filled with laconic performances . it provides the special delight we get from gradually unraveling a complicated case .\nthe continuing love affair between movie makers and a violent and photogenic san francisco is exposed with fresh ardor by \u201cthe laughing policeman , \u201d which came to the national and beekman theaters yesterday .\ndavis told the boston globe , \u201cthey really did get an enormous amount of detail into the film . . . . it\u2019s really well done . \u201d davis played an important and active role during filming , offering up additional details to make the film\u2019s portrayal of events as accurate as possible .\nthe film is interesting for what it shows of san francisco ' s undertown but its psychology is lame [ and ] the plot an illogical mess .\nmelissa benoist plays katherine russell , the widow of tamerlan tsarnaev . russell has not been shy about expressing her dislike over the film\u2019s portrayal of her .\neveryone seems lost in nadav lapid\u2019s \u201cpoliceman\u201d ( \u201cha - shoter\u201d ) , an unsettling story of brawny israeli anti - terrorist officers and the equally clueless activists they\u2019re eventually tasked with hunting down . while blatantly topical , this is not a political film of the moment , but rather a calculated meditation on self - defined purpose in the midst of societal confusion .\n\u201ca boldly conceived and bracingly told political drama , policeman ( hashoter ) possesses a special contemporary pertinence in the wake of the recent massive protests relating to the vast class and economic disparities in israel . \u201d\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nthe kindergarten teacher sarit larry as the title character , whose encouragement threatens to turn into obsession , and avi shnaidman as her student in nadav lapid\u2019s film .\nthe film\u2019s stylistic fluency evinces a different kind of superiority . if lapid learned his skills in school , he clearly aced art film 101 . somewhat like denis villaneuve\u2019s\nincendies ,\na much better film , its combination of deliberate compositions , nuanced cinematography and sharply staged action suggests a director who\u2019s assimilated lessons from kubrick , oliver stone and other master directors . if he evolves a moral vision to match his stylistic savvy , lapid will be a force to be reckoned with .\nin the end , what separates the two parts of the film is their relation to reality . what lapid describes in his account of the policemen\u2019s lives is of the order of documentary . what he invents in the second part is of the order of fantasy , a cry of anger against the government : science fiction that is in the process of becoming fiction . in the weeks following its first screening at the jerusalem film festival ( where it won three awards ) , the film took on a troublingly prophetic dimension in light of the wave of protests and demonstrations by young israelis , who poured into the streets shouting the same slogans shira uses at the end of the film : \u201cpolice , you are not our enemies . you too are the oppressed . \u201d in israel , this outstanding political film has thus become a standard - bearer for youth who are angry with a government they loathe . elsewhere in the world , policeman may well also impress for more than the chilling perfection of its mise en sc\u00e8ne .\ni know lapid pretty well so i got to see \u201cpoliceman\u201d in an early screening , and i haven\u2019t seen it since . but the movie , which was screened in new york last week , stuck with me in more than one way . right now there aren\u2019t any future screenings listed on the film\u2019s site , but if there are in the future , i recommend checking it out .\nlapid makes a rare choice in \u2018policeman\u2019 \u2013 he leaves the palestinian conflict in the background ( mainly through yaron\u2019s attempt to end the probe against his unit ) , and instead focuses on the internal israeli dynamic : the young rebels versus the heart of the mainstream . this already means that the film will not follow the shooting - and - crying formula , which is common in works of popular culture that have attempted to deal with the conflict from an israeli perspective . in most of them , the israeli protagonist was portrayed more as a victim of the conflict rather than a perpetrator ( i touched this when in my reviews of \u201c zero dark thirty , \u201d and the same formula runs through ari shavit\u2019s my promised land as well ) . this ritual of self pity and absolution doesn\u2019t take place in \u201cpoliceman\u201d \u2013 not for the policeman and not for the viewers .\nthe political drama , which centers on the leader of a squad of highly trained officers who deal with arab terrorists , won awards at the jerusalem and locarno film festivals .\nby the end , complete with car chase and split - second shooting , the film has become indistinguishable from all those movies it ' s trying so hard to disown .\n\u201cit\u2019s been a long time since a first feature has displayed such masterly direction as nadav lapid\u2019s policeman ( hashoter ) , such a sense of connection to the films of godard , bresson , fassbinder , kubrick , and haneke , and giving those more perceptive viewers such a conviction of witnessing the arrival of an outstanding filmmaker while also discovering a major film as brilliant in formal terms as in its ideas . \u201d\nthe beach boys and several rap groups slug it out for supremacy in ' ' downtown , ' ' a film that contrasts the cushy working conditions enjoyed by policemen along philadelphia ' s main line ( computer - equipped offices , freshly ground coffee beans ) with those endured by their inner city counterparts ( shootouts in the office practically every day ) . emphasizing this clash of cultures , ' ' downtown ' ' may be the only film in which a white , preppy policeman ( anthony edwards ) has taught the kids of a black downtown cop ( forest whitaker ) how to surf .\nwritten and directed by nadav lapid ; director of photography , shai goldman ; edited by era lapid ; produced by itai tamir ; released by corinth films . at the elinor bunin munroe film center , 144 west 65th street , lincoln center . in hebrew and english , with english subtitles . running time : 1 hour 45 minutes . this film is not rated .\npoliceman ,\nby debuting israeli director nadav lapid , is a curiously bifurcated film . it starts out telling the story of one group of characters , the policemen suggested by the title . then , about halfway through , it abruptly shifts to focus on another group , a small band of left - wing radicals . naturally , the two stories converge toward the narrative\u2019s end , but that doesn\u2019t overcome the sense that the film suffers from a deeper bifurcation : a split between actually saying something about the tricky political and cultural issues it treats , and appearing to do so while shying away from that task\u2019s toughest challenges .\nthe primary cast and crew of the british comedy classic ' oh , mr . porter ! ' are teamed up again in this film that has performances that are just as delightful , and humour that is just as charming . upon comparison with ' oh , mr . porter ! ' it is easy to dismiss this film as its inferior , however it is in fact almost up to the same quality . the film is often hilarious in the first half , and in the second half there are suspense elements well worked into the plot . some of the lines are hysterically funny , and graham moffatt has hardly been better , playing the smartest , but yet also the slackest , of the bunch . no one does ineptitude as well as will hay , and this film is further proof of this . moore marriott is delightful as always and has an amusing second role here . the film ' s technical side may be no match for the technical side of ' oh , mr . porter ! ' , but no doubt a lot of care and consideration was taken to scout out all the appropriately dark settings . the gags are most of the storyline and the subject matter is too slim for a full - length film , but for what it is , the film is excellent and immensely entertaining along the way . simple comedies , and old british comedies , hardly get better than this .\nthe timing of the release of israeli filmmaker nadav lapid\u2019s debut , \u201c policeman , \u201d was very unique in israel : october 2011 , right after that summer\u2019s so - called tent protests , which saw hundreds of thousands israelis take to the streets over social and economic issues . \u201cpoliceman , \u201d which was shot and completed before the surprising demonstrations erupted , tells the story of a confrontation between a group of young revolutionaries plotting to kidnap a local tycoon , and a police officer in an anti - terror unit that will be called upon stop them .\nin israeli war films of the last decades , the heroes are usually powerless guys who are dragged into the war ; a fact that reflects something deep in the psychology of an extremely powerful and potent society . but the policeman in lapid\u2019s film is more like the israel who is idolized in the local news . yaron is chauvinistic , militaristic , childish and rude , but also charismatic and even charming . i found him to be rather lovable \u2013 yet at the same time there is something disturbing about him , and the automatic nature in which he carries himself . yiftach is like a machine , which only comes to a brief halt at the very last moment of the film .\nhowever , there is quite a bit more to the film than that . it takes place in world war ii , during the time when japan occupied manchuria . a group of japanese soldiers at sendai ( located in northeastern japan and a good distance away from tokyo ) discover the body of a dismembered woman in a well . at least a month goes by , and the investigation into the woman ' s death goes nowhere . cue the arrival of miltary policeman staff sergeant kosaka to solve this mystery !\nmuch of the film is crude , full of\nvisit san francisco\nphotography and matthau isn ' t on the same great form as he was as the transit cop in the taking of pelham one two three .\na policeman is among the victims when the passengers of a late - night bus are machine - gunned . with only one semi - conscious survivor and no other witnesses , the detectives try to learn from the identities of the dead why this happened and who the killer could be . climax includes excellent chase .\nartist in the first layer , gives a very strong story about a period of time in film history that some main actors of silent era fall from their popularity , the other good example of this kind of caters is sunset blvd .\nthe two stories inevitably converge with an act of violence that unfolds as a gripping climax . though yaron drops out the picture just when he starts to show the cracks in his robust personality , when he returns for the exceptional finale , he shows the first signs of doubt . it\u2019s here that \u201cpoliceman\u201d adopts a progressive stance .\nthe actual gun used in the film is a smith & wesson m76 9mm machine gun without the barrel shroud and not an m3 . 45 caliber\ngrease gun\nmade by gm guide lamp division for wwii use . the omission of the barrel shroud gives the appearance of an m3 . if one sticks to the story line , the m3 magazine held 30 rounds . 45 acp and cycled around 450 rpm . this is sufficient to inflict the damage and wounds shown in the film .\n\u201cthe kindergarten teacher\u201d \u2014 the film as well as the character \u2014 yearns for different values , for intensity , beauty and meaning . its sobering lesson is that the search for those things is most likely to end in madness , confusion and violence .\nthough an essentially familiar amalgam of murder , manhunt and dogged police work in that scenic city , this \u201cpoliceman\u201d stands a good deal taller than the norm because of the expert guidance of stuart rosenberg , the producer\u2010director . he is effectively aided by a fine script and a cast as convincing as a live cop or a dead gunman .\nbrilliant how lapid deconstructs his entire political setup by showing no character is politically invested in it . the policemen ( and the titular policeman especially ) are in it for the violence and the revolutionaries because they ' re in love with each other or themselves or because they love their son . there are no politics - only petty people .\nthe image of stenberg painted by the film - maker does not fit the one depicted by police who have been hunting him . the alleged killer reportedly left a hat in place of his victim ' s head before fleeing the scene of the crime .\nalthough several real - life individuals are depicted in the film , star mark wahlberg plays a fictional character named sgt . tommy saunders , who ' s a composite of three boston police officers who worked the boston marathon and aided in the manhunt that followed .\na remarkable film that consciously , sometimes self - reflexively omits all the usual elements one expects of an israeli film : arab conflict , herzl references , etc . instead , it digs into the domestic issues that can be overlooked , of social inequality and internal political tensions . but terrorist concerns manage to shape basic domestic law enforcement , and the climax throws together counterterrorist forces and some homegrown radicals together in such a way that a thriller does not even have time to form because israeli defense forces are so uncompromisingly trained .\nit\u2019s been a long time since a first feature has displayed such masterly direction as nadav lapid\u2019s policeman ( hashoter ) , such a sense of connection to the films of godard , bresson , fassbinder , kubrick , and haneke , and giving those more perceptive viewers such a conviction of witnessing the arrival of an outstanding filmmaker while also discovering a major film as brilliant in formal terms as in its ideas . at a time when all the best new directors ( serra , gomes , alonso ) are implicitly demonstrating a political dimension to their work through the very act fact of producing and filming in a different way\u2014usually steering clear of the big issues and rejecting a frontal approach to historical , ideological , and social concerns\u2014lapid dares to make explicitly political films . one might say that as an israeli , he has no choice in the matter . the impressive thing about policeman , which won the special jury prize in locarno , is that it is both the best political film in ages ( including and especially in israel ) and also one of the most stimulating cinematic propositions of recent years , resolving the form and content problem thanks to a stunning feat of dramaturgy while its powerful mise en sc\u00e8ne expresses ideas that are just as radical .\nlapid presents these two storylines as representing increasingly at - war factions of the current israeli consciousness , and as such , they\u2019re destined to come to a head during policeman \u2019s finale . lapid\u2019s stewardship in the lead - up to that confrontation is remarkably assured , capturing an ever - present atmosphere of clique - ish camaraderie and pent - up fury and fanaticism through intense close - ups and vivid compositions of dynamic tension . as with a shot in which oded and his dad travel back and forth between kitchen and dining room , the two always in separate spaces that are visually divided by a wall , the film\u2019s aesthetics convey class , gender and age schisms with subtle urgency . when the powder - keg fuse is finally lit , suspense mounts not so much with regards to the eventual outcome , as the circumstances can only lead to one real resolution , but to the way in which the various characters will reconcile their convictions and choices with the realities they face . as such , policeman \u2019s apex proves to be its final shot , a shared look between shira and yaron\u2014she perhaps seeing the humanity in him , he trying to process that this terrorist is not an arab but a jew\u2014that beautifully embodies the film\u2019s formal and thematic fissures .\nwendy , while it seems either is a policeman , or is masquerading as one , was the accountant for the investment that all the members of the group , except for ian played by jim howick , were a part of . and as the remaining member of the group \u2013 not johnners , played by stephen campbell moore \u2013 stands to claim the whole lot .\nabout halfway the movie leaves yaron and turns to the revolutionaries . lapid places a special emphasis on their internal dynamics in the group , which is centered on a love triangle . the third and final part of the film brings about the inevitable confrontations between the two groups .\npoliceman ( ha - shoter ) has been floating around in limbo since festival season in 2011 and almost counts as a 2014 release now . the film is divided into three parts , the first is set around a member of an elite task force trying to juggle a pregnant wife , the rest of his family , his job and doing right by a dying colleague . this is by far the best part , and yiftach klein is great . the second part revolves around a group of jewish socalist extremists in the final stages of a violent act of revolt . as you might have guessed , the third part blends the two in a tense climax .\na fantastic new israeli movie which received praising reviews at locarno festival 2011 . a policeman in an elite counter - terrorism unit is thrown into an identity chaos , when he needs to face a hostage situation created by a marxist revolutionary group that strives for a new social order . starring : michael aloni , yiftach klein , keren mor , michael mushonov , menashe noi , yaara pelzig\nwhen lapid wrote a script about violent internal struggle over economic issues in a country whose politics had been dominated by the conflict for a century , it must have seemed like science fiction ( in interviews , lapid referred to it as \u201ca fantasy\u201d ) . by the time the film was released lapid\u2019s fantasy seemed more like a prophesy , winning the movie a nice turnout and more attention than one could expect from a movie that is very challenging , both in style and in content . and yet don\u2019t be fooled : at the heart of \u201cpoliceman\u201d lies a delicate deconstruction of modern israeli identity , and like everything israeli , it has a lot to do with the palestinians .\nthe policemen depicted in the film\u2019s first part are not ordinary cops but a five - man team in the israeli defense ministry\u2019s elite anti - terrorism unit . in other words , they\u2019re assigned not to police regular israelis but to control palestinians ( a . k . a . terrorists ) , often by lethal means . the film doesn\u2019t start out explaining this , or showing the men in action ; rather it stresses their macho camaraderie with scenes of them bicycling across the desert and engaging in horse play , playful wrestling matches and endless back - slapping at a tel aviv barbeque .\n\u201cyou are also oppressed , \u201d the young activist announces to the cop before they eagerly dismantle a poorly executed hostage situation while mocking her accusation . yaron says nothing , but his face speaks volumes about the possibility that some aspect of that vague proclamation has burrowed into his mind and held tight . stuck in a listless world for much of its running time , \u201cpoliceman\u201d ends with the slightest hint of progress .\njohn goodman plays former boston police commissioner ed davis . prior to filming , davis was asked to be a consultant during the film\u2019s production . hesitant to jump on board , it was the efforts of wahlberg , berg and the producers to portray the tragedy in the most accurate and respectful way that captured davis\u2019 attention .\ncan a 5 - year - old boy be a literary genius ? and if so , how might his precocious gift be nurtured and protected ? these are , on the surface , among the main questions posed by \u201c the kindergarten teacher , \u201d a self - assured , remarkably powerful film from the israeli writer - director nadav lapid .\nsam peebles is a local businessman asked to give a speech to the rotary club . to do research for his speech , sam goes to the local library to rent books . when there , he realizes that he has not been to a library in many years . he meets the librarian ardelia lortz , who warns him to return his books on time or face the wrath of the library policeman . later , sam ' s assistant naomi tells him that ardelia lortz is dead and is an old legend in the town . sam learns her story through the words of her former lover and finds that ardelia lortz was a horrible creature who fed on the fear of children . this struggle with a monster throws sam back into an experience he had when he last visited a library as a child . to defeat the evil ardelia and survive , sam must face the horror of his childhood and defeat the library policeman forever .\ni think that lapid is interested in the israeli \u2013 in the psyche of the national character . he clearly loves his characters , but as the film progresses , you get the feeling that something went terribly wrong with them . that\u2019s true to the anarchists as well , whose leader turns out to be a man of words , not action .\nall of it was difficult ,\nhe said\ntalking about it , making it . it ' s not like you could detach at any point . it was on my shoulders as the face of this film . i pride myself on being from boston . i like being able to go home and being welcomed with open arms .\nfollowing hard on the heels of bullitt , the french connection and dirty harry , the laughing policeman stars walter matthau as the veteran cop investigating a mass slaughter on a public bus . the trail leads to the gay underworld and a lot of closet doors . like eastwood ' s dirty harry , matthau has to cut through miles of red tape that favours the criminal and makes the cops look like ss stormtroopers . san francisco is the slightly over - familiar backdrop to all this and it ends , predictably , with a bus journey along those up - and - down , bouncy - bouncy streets . much of the film is crude , full of\nvisit san francisco\nphotography and matthau isn ' t on the same great form as he was as the transit cop in the taking of pelham one two three .\ndowntown , directed by richard benjamin ; written by nat mauldin ; director of photography , richard h . kline ; edited by jacqueline cambas and brian chambers ; music by alan silvestri ; production designer , charles rosen ; produced by charles h . maguire ; released by 20th century - fox . running time : 97 minutes . this film is rated r .\nnot as bad as the other comments would suggest ,\nthe laughing policeman\nis a police procedural mystery that lacks the spark of great thriller genre films . what this does have is some very good acting , especially from the lead players , and a decent script with interesting characters . the plot does get a little convoluted near the end and the action is inspired by better films , but it is worth a watch . i ' d give it a mild recomendation .\nwritten and directed by nadav lapid ; director of photography , shai goldman ; edited by era lapid ; production design by miguel merkin ; costumes by doron ashkenazi ; produced by talia kleinhendler , osnat handelsman - keren and carole scotta ; released by kino lorber . in hebrew , with english subtitles . running time : 1 hour 59 minutes . this film is not rated .\ncredit much of the film ' s flavor and insights to thomas rickman ' s adaptation of the novel by the swedish husband\u2010and\u2010wife team of per wahloo and maj sjowall . this script captures the character and the earthy , germane vernacular , four\u2010letter and otherwise , of the police , street people , blacks , prostitutes and pimps of san francisco that substitutes for the book ' s stockholm .\ni think plain and simple it ' s a\nfourth - wall\nthing . he was waiting for the dialogue card to roll in when the policeman started talking to him , as was the premise of the movie . when this didn ' t happen he was confused , it felt as if he was ostracised not only from the hollywoodland world , but from this same\nthe artist\npicture altogether . thus he decided it was time to call it quits . it ' s a meta - thing . to me , the\naccent\nexplanation is contrived and the repeat of the\ndisorienting live sound\nexplanation doesn ' t make sense as a vehicle at that point , it ' s regressive . so the key to interpret the scene is the absence of dialogue - cue cards . notice how he takes his eyes away from the policeman and where the director or crew of the film is supposed to be , almost desperately waiting and ponderding as to why they are taunting him with not doing their job and not providing cards . he ' s like\noh , now you wanna make this movie a talking one , screw you then , i ' m out of here\n. the resolution of the film then comes , not only in terms of the story , but very much so from this movie remaining a silent one after the averted suicide ( notice the bang card , there weren ' t any\nsound - descriptive cards\nup to then , also the making - up scene is eeriely silent despite the windy conditions , barking , shouting , crying , laughing , etc . ) . then comes the accent thing , as a twister on that . but only as a twister . if the accent thing was all that important , the big producers would never ask of george to transition in the first place . to suggest it as a main premise of the film and not a twister , to me , it ' s\nthinking - too - hard\nand also a bit racist as well . accent wouldn ' t have been a thing if he wanted to transition . in the end , the artist compromises with another form of pure\nart\n, the dance . and then it ' s\nlet there be sound\n.\nthe film juxtaposes police practices and points of view in varied vignettes , from anthony zerbe ' s characterization of the harassed lieutenant yelling for results to lou gossett ' s black detective who realy knows his black suspects and can handle them . and a number of bit performances , including actual police squads and a team of emergency\u2010room doctors , lend vivid local color and authenticity to an engrossing and adult crime caper .\ni think the answers are complicating the scene . i have actually worked on the publicity of the film in east asia and discussed the film in depth with experts for rating purposes , so here ' s what i know from there . in this scene , george valentin realizes that the world around him has audible speech . now , when he hears the cop speaking , it hits him hard that everyone does actually have sound and it will soon hit the movies . thus , hurting his ego even further that he was wrong flaunting his pride . the scene where we cut to a lot of mouths speaking create a disturbing and disorienting noise for him driving him to attempt suicide . there is so much noise in the world , that its amplified in his head , there is no place for a proud silent star .\nbut it\u2019s also hard to shake the suspicion that she may be right about yoav , and correct in her increasingly despairing assessment of his environment . like many israeli filmmakers , mr . lapid uses cinema as a vehicle for social criticism , but both the intensity and the orientation of his critique set him apart from his peers . the israeli - palestinian conflict , an unavoidable and in some respects easy subject for liberal - minded artists and writers , is largely absent from \u201cthe kindergarten teacher , \u201d as it was from his previous feature , \u201cpoliceman . \u201d\none of the film\u2019s greatest achievements is its ability to describe the israeli crisis without the use of arab characters ( the more common method for self criticism is by idolizing the victim ) . thus , lapid also avoids all the problems in such a representation faced by other israeli cinematographers , or western ones in general . instead , he turns his gaze inward , in an internal investigation that is both caring and honest .\nher lawyer , amato deluca , told the associated press that the film suggests she had an inkling of the attack prior to the marathon and failed to cooperate with authorities in their investigation . deluca said : \u201ci have no objection to them making a movie . \u2026 what i quarrel with is the license they take in portraying katie as someone who did not cooperate and try to save lives . she did everything she could .\nthere are moments in \u201cpoliceman\u201d when it feels as if the director nadav lapid is drawing one very large noose around his characters . that\u2019s especially true early in this hypnotic , slow - building shocker from israel , before the narrative pieces have slid into place , revealing mr . lapid\u2019s intentions . certainly , nothing looks out of the ordinary in the opening images of five men bicycling up a steep country road . that is until one , yaron ( yiftach klein ) , breaks away and begins riding so hard and fast toward the camera that he looks as if he might break through the screen .\nlapid\u2019s script explores the personal dimensions of the israeli - palestinian conflict in a manner that few other recent entries in israeli cinema have even tried : while eytan fox\u2019s \u201cbubble\u201d featured pro - palestinian israeli youth activists in tel aviv , it placed them within a familiar comedic backdrop , positioning the subculture in a cheery genre ready - made for western consumption . \u201cpoliceman , \u201d with its experimental pace and atmosphere , doesn\u2019t make things easy on its audience . it forges an argument by implication and steeped in universal confusion : alienated from their cause , the activists are just as conflicted as yaron as he struggles with the nature of his duty .\ny\u00f6netmen nadav lapid ' in ilk uzun metraj \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmas\u0131 olmas\u0131ndan kaynaklan\u0131yor diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcm , yer yer amat\u00f6r bir \u00e7izgiyi takip eden film ki , bu durum filme kesinlikle eksi bir de\u011fer katmam\u0131\u015f zira oyunculuklar olduk\u00e7a iyi ; kapitalizmin pen\u00e7esinde art\u0131k nefes almakta zorlanan d\u00fcnyam\u0131zda , i\u0307srail ' den y\u00fckselen bir \u00e7\u0131\u011fl\u0131k gibi . ger\u00e7i tam bir \u00e7\u0131\u011fl\u0131k diyemeyiz , daha \u00e7ok y\u00fcksek desibelde bir serzeni\u015f misali . ama sonu\u00e7ta biliyoruz ki , insan her yerde ayn\u0131 . fazla aksiyon beklentisi i\u00e7ine girmezseniz , keyifli bir seyirlik olacakt\u0131r .\nthe couple jointly told boston magazine of their portrayals in the film and the actors who played them : \u201crachel and christopher were so sweet together . they brought so much talent to their roles , but they were also truly interested in our own experience . we feel a strong obligation to be representatives of the larger survivor community . the filmmakers somehow found us and asked us to be a part of this , but we hope our story is somewhat emblematic of each survivor\u2019s story . \u201d\nexperiencing yoav\u2019s poems is its own kind of eavesdropping . it\u2019s hard for a hebrewless reader of english subtitles to judge their literary merits , but the film\u2019s internal experts , nira included , are impressed enough with their linguistic polish and thematic sophistication to elevate them above mere verbal child\u2019s play . nira introduces her prot\u00e9g\u00e9 to the work of his precursors , including the israeli \u201cnational poet\u201d chaim nachman bialik . she is concerned with the progress of yoav\u2019s \u201ccareer , \u201d a strange notion given his age .\njonathon stenberg , 46 , was captured in the australian outback last week after six days on the run from police , but not before he turned up at a casting call in the remote town of winton , queensland , where the film mystery road \u2013 ironically , the story of a murder hunt \u2013 was being filmed . second assistant director mark ingram , whose movie stars hugo weaving , said stenberg was the first person to audition , after apparently seeing an advert in a petrol station window .\nthe leader of this group , yaron ( yiftach klein ) , is described as an\nalpha male\nin the press notes , and the film displays an almost - lipsmacking avidity in conveying his masculine hotness . in one early scene , he puts an upbeat tune on the stereo and dances seductively in his short - shorts for his wife , and us , as if to make sure we haven\u2019t failed to notice his sexy build . but yaron\u2019s also a guy facing challenges on several fronts .\nthere is something unusual about this muted drama . the film ' s title ( singular ) and the narrative structure point to the individual , rather than the societal , but the camera ' s focus on women ( the waitress whom he tells to\ntouch it\n, the odd look on his face when the blond girl ' s identity is revealed , the fact that he pulls his pager out while carrying his wife up the stairs , etc . ) suggests a deeper social theme at play .\npugliese and his wife stayed in a hotel for a few days while the crew filmed at his real home . a consultant on the film , he praised berg and simmons .\nthe director , peter berg , i ' ve gotten to know pretty well \u2014 he ' s a really nice guy ,\npugliese told wicked local , which covers eastern massachusetts .\nand j . k . simmons , the guy portraying me , he ' s a really nice guy too . down - to - earth people .\ndavis ultimately says he ' s happy with goodman\u2019s portrayal and proud of the film \u2014 and his involvement with it \u2014 as a whole . \u201cmark has an incredible commitment to the community , to the city ,\nhe said .\nand so when you combine him with peter berg\u2019s sort of human side of telling a story and then michael radutzky\u2019s , you know , hard - hitting journalist , that combination was incredible . they got real good content in this \u2013 real facts , behind - the - scenes stuff . \u201d\nprior to and during filming , beach and patrick formed a close relationship , with patrick sharing personal details of his life with beach . \u201che told me a lot of things that are not in the film about what he was going through personally and the decision that he had to make ,\nbeach told entertainment website we got this covered .\nhe\u2019s the governor , but he\u2019s just a regular human being as well , doing his normal business and how it turned everything around from what he was expecting to do . \u201d\ndun\ndanny\nmeng is another real - life person whose experience during the boston marathon bombing was dramatized in the film . a 26 - year - old chinese entrepreneur , meng was held at gunpoint by bombers dzhokhar and tamerlan tsarnaev for 90 minutes . his mercedes was carjacked by the bombers , and it wasn\u2019t until they stopped at a gas station , and one of the brothers left the car , that meng would make his escape . meng was able to quickly run into a gas station across the street and alert the authorities .\nin \u201cpoliceman , \u201d mr . lapid , making an electrifying feature directing debut , traces the line between the group and the individual in a story that can be read as a commentary on the world as much as on israel . with a steady camera and cool approach , he devotes the movie\u2019s first part to peeling away yaron\u2019s life , one layer at a time . each stratum reveals a new truth about a man who puts up a bland , macho front . his wife , nili ( meital berdah ) , is about to give birth to their first child , a milestone that , with an escalating sense of unease , keeps coming up against another benchmark : charges that , during a raid , yaron and his team killed some arab civilians , including a child .\nthis study of israeli males and manhood continues with the portrait of the revolutionary group . though i found this part of the film to be less interesting or compelling , there is a touching plot line about a one rebel who is raised by a single father , a political activist who gave it all up . the mother is absent \u2013 i don\u2019t remember why \u2013 and there is some gentle hopelessness in both father and son . if yaron runs on autopilot , these two simply lost their way . in both cases , the results are just as disastrous in both cases .\ni dunno about this one . it stars an israeli policeman in a elite counter - terrorism unit . but don ' t expect much action . the guy is an arrogant dick , clearly , but the movie can ' t quite commit to making him one , mostly since he ' s the main character , and we spend the first half of the movie wandering around , doing things that are presumably going to play into the plot , but in the end they really don ' t , like going to a barbecue with all his squad buddies , most of whom are also dicks , except one is dying of cancer , but he was probably a dick before all that got started . his wife is about to give birth , and he ' s kinda shook up about the whole\u2026\nnira is startled and intrigued , and the evolution of her interest in yoav drives the film\u2019s suspenseful , unnerving , bizarre and strangely believable plot . at first , like any conscientious teacher , she is solicitous and encouraging . it\u2019s always good to recognize and celebrate what is special in a child . the budding bard is in most respects a perfectly ordinary child , roughhousing and practicing swear words with his best pal , playing in the sandbox and demanding snacks when he\u2019s hungry . it\u2019s possible to read signs of unusual intelligence in his expressions , but his most prominent feature is a face that seems created to invite a grandmother\u2019s pinches .\nunlike the other actors , benoist did not get to meet her real - life counterpart . she said ,\neveryone on the film that had a real - life counterpart got to interact with them and have conversations or work very closely with them , and obviously that was not something i could do . but a lot of what peter berg said to me while we were on set was , ' i don\u2019t want to know what she\u2019s thinking \u2013 because we don ' t . ' so that was a lot of what i drew from , that she was just very concealed and we don\u2019t really know a lot about her . it was a challenge .\nbut does lapid really believe that the issue of israel\u2019s rich - poor divide belongs only to crazed fanatics like his leftist militants ? for that matter , does this group resemble any that is active in israel today ? one of the film\u2019s problems as a drama about cultural and political problems is that all of its people seem to inhabit a thankless zone between being actual characters and arch caricatures . that archness leaves the filmmaker in a position of presumed intellectual and moral superiority , from which he can look down not only on his fictional creations but also on the real people who are struggling with the problems he evokes . this may be a comfortable perspective , but it is not an illuminating one .\nat work , yaron\u2019s unit is troubled by the knowledge that the leanest of its members has a large growth in his head . an upcoming medical test will determine if it\u2019s cancerous . meanwhile , the entire group is under investigation for a lethal incident . the press notes describe this as\nan unforgivable accident resulting from a miscalculation during a recent rescue mission .\nbut that\u2019s an obvious attempt to soft - pedal something rather different . the incident , as the film describes it , was not a mission of rescue but to assassinate a\nterrorist ,\nand it resulted in the death or severe wounding of several other members of the targeted man\u2019s family , including a five - year - old boy .\nin that film , which tracks the parallel stories of a group of left - wing jewish militants and an elite police unit , mr . lapid explored the alienation and class conflict that fester beneath the prosperous surface of contemporary israeli society . \u201cthe kindergarten teacher\u201d is a furious indictment of the materialism and complacency of 21st - century life , in israel and implicitly beyond . yoav , innocent and barely conscious of the meaning of his poems , is the uncanny voice of a disinherited tradition . his father , a flashy restaurateur , has no use for poetry . the boy\u2019s uncle , who published a volume of verses before drifting into bitterness and penury as a journalist , is a grim specter of literary failure . such poets as exist in the world \u2014 the shouters at the reading , nira\u2019s workshop instructor \u2014 run the gamut from vulgar to pretentious .\nthis is the archive of articles selected from the print version of cinema scope magazine . you can help us to continue to provide this valuable resource and read many more articles by subscribing ."]}

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

old son benny and his teenage daughter caitlin , who blames her father for the death of her mother cynthia in a car crash . after witnessing weird events , dr . helzer and his team find the cause of the activities . . . or not ?\nfranchise , perhaps even punchier , yet carles torrens creates a jarring , infuriating environment that puts one ill at ease for the wrong reasons . emphasizing a brash shock -

than - perfect mother , who was a bad woman .\nthe film works as a creepy little ghost story up until this point . the \u201cghost\u201d is seemingly vanquished but the good doctors explanation is paper thin . the film attempts to be clever . it tries to bring something a different twist to the typical ghost story . unfortunately it doesn\u2019t work . the \u201coriginal\u201d twist makes absolutely no sense , it\u2019s a shame because up until the last 10 minutes or so of the film , it\u2019s pretty good if not predictable . the \u201ctwist\u201d though leaves nothing but a bad taste in your mouth . chalk \u2018apartment 143\u2019 up in the same category as \u2018hostel iii\u2019 or \u2018kill list\u2019 where the twist leaves you scratching your head more than enjoying the film .\ni write this assessment with disappointment , because apartment 143 features at least one truly great sequence . about mid - way through the film , the investigators are attempting to determine if there is a presence in the house that shouldn\u2019t be there . they turn off all the lights , and then an oscillating strobe \u201cflashes\u201d in a dark room , panning methodically from one side of the chamber to the other . we watch with anticipation as the pan starts on the left side of the frame , and slowly moves right , light periodically flashing in the blackness . on the soundtrack , we get a kind of clicking or popping sound to accompany the lights . the pan repeats once .\nsupernatural activity forces a family to leave their house and move to an apartment building - but soon the haunting begins again in their new home . a team of paranormal researchers is called in to document the disturbing events and discover what is causing them . horror , starring francesc garrido and fiona glascott .\napartment 143 gives us a look at a supposedly haunted apartment . the difference here is that the scientific investigators are looking for scientific explanations rather than the supernatural . it ' s a neat idea , but leads to some heavy exposition scenes that betray the found - footage set - up . perhaps if these had been explained in talking head interviews it wouldn ' t seem so clunky and forced . the film does well to have a little mystery behind it and the cast are generally rather impressive . one of the biggest problems is how quick it wants to start . i don ' t find that these films work without a decent amount of build up . here , the camera crew walk in and stuff is happening almost immediately . i also got tired at the scientists continued explanations of stuff when it was clear that some of these things were impossible to explain . some decent effects and genuine scary parts make this a fine effort , but with a bit more time and some better pacing this could have been so much better .\ni am as confused as ever by the ending and how it blows the accepted psychological explanation to pieces . i checked imdb\u2019s apartment 143 page to see if anyone else was confused as well . in the forums , many people created more plausible explanations for the supernatural / psychological aspects of the movie than what the movie itself did . the consensus is that it was a haunting after all and the demonic entity was the cause for cynthia and caitlin\u2019s changes . i like this explanation ; it proves that science doesn\u2019t solve every problem and we need to be more open to possibilities . i\u2019m no less confused by how these very obvious paranormal situations were written off as mental illness and anger issues . if anyone can explain how the psychological theory posed by dr . helzer makes sense ( in context of the movie ) , i would love to hear it .\napartment 143 begins with a team of parapsychology investigators driving to their assignment . the team banters / insults each other , which is not at all important except that viewers learn that paul is the technology expert , ellen is the \u201ctelephone girl\u201d / secretary , and dr . helzer is the parapsychologist ( more of a true psychologist , but with some knowledge of the supernatural ) . the team meets the family , a recently - widowed father of a young boy named benjamin and a thirteen - year - old girl named caitlin . the father , mr . white , thinks they are being followed by a destructive , angry ghost , possibly his dead wife cynthia . the team sets up all sorts of neat environment monitoring equipment and for the weekend the family is under video surveillance . all of that is straightforward , but then explanations of the psychological or supernatural phenomenon get confusing .\nwas wrong about everything , even though he made a decent case for his theories . it could be the mom ' s ghost from beyond causing all of the mischief , but then again , we think it ' s the daughter . however it all shakes out in the end , something creepy was going on in that apartment , and it happened for reasons . things happened for reasons !\nit ' s more concerned with forcing an agitated mood of moving furniture and phantasmagoric discoveries via technology instead of showing how the presence of deep , dark demons afflicts those in the apartment . the danger of the spectral denizen can be felt , sure , and the family ' s back story holds superficial interest , but it doesn ' t create enough suspension of disbelief to convince those watching that they ' re observant flies on the wall .\nfrom the beginning there is evidence of a supernatural entity in the apartment . there is unexplainable tapping , phone calls with nobody on the other end , items being rearranged / destroyed , changes in characters ( especially teenage caitlin ) , physical attacks , video footage being deleted without any of the team members touching the computers or equipment , actual sightings of an entity , possession of caitlin , and near the end , massive poltergeist activity and caitlin levitating at the same time .\ndr . helzer has paul install motion tracking cameras and fixed cams in the corners of every room in the house to record everything ( paranormal activity style ) while paul also wanders around with a handheld camera for mobility , closeups , and interviews with the whites . after the cameras are set up , the activity begins immediately with repeated loud resounding banging noises coming from the abandoned apartment upstairs . paul is sent up to investigate , but we assume nothing turns up , as there is no footage of this .\ni will point out that if you enjoy this movie as much as i did , stop the movie after paul and dr . helzer leave the apartment together . trust me , the last 15 seconds suffer from the same problem the first paranormal activity did . it was excellent cinema until the very , very last second when they go for the cheap scare where just leaving it alone would have been more impact - full . just turn it off and savor the movie . do yourself the favor that the movie\u2019s studio couldn\u2019t do .\na team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment . telephone calls with no caller , mysterious shadows , extraordinary light emissions , flying objects , and exploding light bulbs are some of the events they will face while recording their every step with state -

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

this review may contain spoilers . . . pretty good all in all , but kind of loses steam after the medium / sensitive scene and subsequent transposition / possession . . . started out very creepy , but as the movie progressed it began to fall back on every cliche of the\nparanormal documentary\ngenre , up to and including the final scene . . . too bad , because it was a solid effort otherwise . it almost seemed that they ran out of script so they hammered a bunch of unnecessary crap into the movie to make length . . . alas , as it showed such potential . . .\nslightly more\nactivity\nof the\nparanormal\nkind . same basic notion . . .\ngreat story , but over exaggerated camera shaking made this one lose a star .\nthis was a good horror movie , but the incredibly annoying attempt to make the thing feel like\na real event\nby exaggerating jerky camera movements constantly made it physically exhausting to watch . too many movies are using this lame technique nowadays . if it ' s done well , it ' s not that big a deal . but when done badly , as is the case with this movie , it ruins the experience . the jerky camera movements were artificial and out of context with reality .\nvery typical . very predictable . other reviewers have commented of the quality acting , but i didn ' t see it . the actors / actresses weren ' t bad , they just weren ' t good . i roll my eyes at cheesy jump - scares , but a few of these would have improved the film . i gave this film a second star because it was not a terrible film , it just failed to be a good one . the story was one that has been told many times before and i imagine many people could figure it out in the first few minutes . the handheld camera , low - budget , blair - witch - project format is dull and over - used , and was never very good to begin with . i am trying to remember a part of this movie that was actually mildly frightening , but i ' m failing . overall , this was a snoozer and should be passed over in favor of more interesting films .\nit was ok . paranormal activity with a possessive , louder , more aggressive , more pissed - off ghost . had it ' s sudden fright moments , but you could almost predict what would happen and when . some of the plot and character elements didn ' t flow logically , so that also drained from the enjoyment . overall , ok , but gave more\nthat ' s ridiculous\nchuckles than frights .\nwow . what can i say except that this movie kept me riveted . i enjoyed the story this flick presented and i liked the execution as well . at times , yes , it did seem to stall a bit , but the creepy elements more than made up for it . i ' ll have to keep my eye out for this one on dvd to add to my collection .\nhilariously and ridiculously similar to\nparanormal activities\nand quite unamusing . not scary whatsoever , without a very good plot , or introduction to characters . their dog apparently does not have a name and doesn ' t show up until halfway through the movie , and the whole movie takes place inside the house . don ' t waste your time with this film .\ni thought this movie was very interesting . i ' ve never heard of poltergeist activity told from this angle before . i love found footage and b movies and this was interesting .\nstarts out well enough , then halfway through when the people filming see a freaking ghost they call it schizophrenia .\nthis has to be the stupidest , most cliched low budget piece of garbage i have ever seen . bad acting , bad story , bad direction , bad effects . what a waste of my time .\nawesome movie , definitely scary . wish i could find more ff movies like this .\nit ' ll stick with you for a few nights , but i wish they ' d actually agreed on one solid ending .\nthis movie is a slow burn that employs the proper frights just as effectively . the problem really lies in the film ' s first\nconclusion ,\nthen the second , and , sadly , . . .\nreviews for this movie are all over the place . i love horror / sci - fi and consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur .\nprime members enjoy free two - day shipping and exclusive access to music , movies , tv shows , original audio series , and kindle books .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nbut wait , what\u2019s the final scene before the credits ? why , it\u2019s a camera the parapsychologist team chooses to leave behind that captures a ceiling - crawling demonic entity ! it\u2019s the same entity that was shown on film earlier in the movie when the team thought there may have been paranormal activity and again when it possessed caitlin , warping her body to look evil and wrong .\nsave my name , email , and website in this browser for the next time i comment .\nhey there ! thanks for dropping by spoiler alert ! ! take a look around and grab the rss feed to stay updated . see you around !\nduring one - on - one interviews with alan and his son benny ( the daughter caitlin is in \u201cthat stage\u201d of her teens and wants nothing to do with this or her father ) we learn that shortly after alan\u2019s wife died , they began to experience strange events like the typewriter going . benny is just adorable on the camera , and alan also reveals that he has no idea what to do with his daughter \u2013 she hates him and blames him for her mothers death .\nduring a routine night of take out and sardine sammiches , the phone rings and no one is there . then the doorbell rings and nobody is there . back to the phone , back to the door and then they are surrounded by the sounds of glasses breaking \u2013 but nothing is actually breaking . the phone begins to ring again , and things get nuts once more , and the phone smashed against the ground . the phone is in pieces , yet continues to ring . once things calm down , the team gets to work reviewing their data .\nin a camera still , paul and ellen see an image of a woman floating just behind caitlin . could it be the mother ? they decide to wait to tell the family tomorrow . as they sleep , the motion cam detects something and tracks all the way to the hallway where we see the motion sensors light up . then in the living room , the laptop lights up . we cut to the next morning and alan is having a fight with caitlin about her being such a bitch , and this fight carries on into breakfast . later , we find all the pictures have been hung upside down , and the lights and television short out . they also find the photo of the woman has been deleted .\npaul brings some new equipment , including head mounted cameras , and sets up an experiment with a strobe light and a slowly panning camera \u2013 and let me tell you that at this point i am hooked . like , leaning forward in my seat hooked . the story thus far has been interesting , but now the suspense is ramping up , and you all know i\u2019m a suspense junkie . anyways , this sequence was exquisitely tense with a nice payoff . i\u2019m not too sure about how i feel about the rest of the movie , but it\u2019s one that i\u2019d like to leave alone . it\u2019s worth a watch and not a half ass sarcastically explained review read . i think that you should really give it a watch as it introduced some interesting theories about poltergeists and psychokinesis . there\u2019s also a really well done monologue by alan that i found to be extremely gripping .\nas a whole , i really enjoyed this movie once i got past my original apprehension of it being found footage . the juxtaposition of curious excitement from ellen and paul against dr . helzer\u2019s aloof yet all - knowing attitude gives off the feeling that he knows something no one else does . also , the results of every experiment they do seems to come as no surprise to him . at first , i thought he was just a douche bag , but the reveal at the end makes a lot of sense .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\npress j to jump to the feed . press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts\njust some unanswered questions that i don ' t quite understand . thanks for your help !\ni honestly think the writers must ' ve fought about the ending and couldn ' t settle for it . i believe the father was supposed to have molested / raped his daughter and the ' haunting ' was the manifestation of that internal conflict the daughter felt ( on one hand love for her father but on the other hate and disgust for what he did to her ) . but then , somewhere along the way , someone ( the producers ? the studio ? ) must ' ve thought that would be too edgy so they changed it to schizophrenia . . . i think it ' s sad because that would be an interesting angle to the movie and i believe it could ' ve taken the movie to a whole other level ( having the haunting as a metaphor for how sexual abuse haunts people wherever they go ) . . . instead they chose to perpetuate the stereotype that mental illness is dangerous . . .\nthe last 5 seconds i think were suppose to translate to something like a\nthe end . . . ?\n. where you had the resolution ( there were no spirits there ) but then you actually see a spirit which means the scientist ' s assessment was wrong . . . plot twist !\ni figured it was a double twist ; was all a nightmare ? yes , it was . no , it wasn ' t . end movie .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\ncollect bonus rewards from our many partners , including amc , stubs , cinemark connections , regal crown club when you link accounts .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nalso sign me up for fanmail to get updates on all things movies : tickets , special offers , screenings + more .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets"]}

man\u2019s land , a border area between reality and dream \u2013 or rather , nightmare .\nsuperb review . but you can ' t judge uncle lars on element of crime and dancer in the dark . element of crime isn ' t much like anything else he ' s done except europa , and dancer in the dark is . . . crap . check out breaking the waves and dogville and best of all the five obstructions if you want to see a mad bastard being watchable as well as just mad and bastardly .\nmost volume crime investigations are conducted by a sole investigator , assisted in varying degrees by crime scene examiners or other specialists . in these cases the investigator has to prioritise their investigative actions , some of which will be evident from the initial attendance to the victim or at the crime scene .\nthe band started by singer and author sven regener has been on stage for over thirty years . as the open - air season gets underway , element of crime warmed up for their tour with a concert in kiel .\nlars von trier ' s first film , the element of crime , concerns police detective fisher who seeks the help of a therapist after having an amnesic episode . unable to recall why he returned to egypt , fisher begins to look for answers . he returns to europe , where he was previously engaged investigating the lotto murders , to visit his mentor , osborne . the author of the element of crime , osborne advocates identifying with criminals as a means of capturing them . after a brief meeting , fisher continues his investigation assisted by an asian prostitute . as he undergoes the archetypal descent into the underworld , he gets dangerously close to uncovering the cause of his amnesia and the murderer . replete with references to film noir and world cinema , the element of crime , depending on your view , is either a postmodern update of the crime film or a gaudy parasite on tradition .\nrecords are kept in different formats depending on the seriousness and complexity of the crime under investigation . common formats include :\nthere are a number of methods the investigator can use to secure and manage crime scenes . they include :\nlars von trier is known for his exquisitely different style of film - making . he began his journey of directing movies during his college years . but the movie that got him recognition was \u2018the element of crime\u2019 which was a psychological drama and first in the instalment of \u2018europa\u2019 trilogy .\nthe theme of the element of crime seems to be obsession . fisher\u2019s manic attempt to find grey ( in himself ? ) , to become grey , to be his mirror image , not just to solve the crimes , but to achieve a personal redemption .\ngerman rock group element of crime began in 1985 , shortly after a different berlin - based band to which sven regener ( vocals , guitar , and trumpet ) and jakob ilja ( guitar ) belonged dissolved .\n\u2018the element of crime\u2019 was released in 1984 and helped him won more than 10 awards and a prestigious nomination at the cannes film festival . later , trier directed \u2018epidemic\u2019 ( 1987 ) and \u2018europa\u2019 ( 1991 ) , thus completing the europa trilogy .\nthe way in which a crime scene is managed affects the quality , quantity and integrity of the material gathered . it is , therefore , essential that investigators identify and prioritise crime scenes , as they may contain material vital to the successful outcome of the investigation .\nthe element of crime contains a nice example of the art direction colliding with the script . throughout the film , we see copies of osborne ' s monograph , the element of crime in various editions , from a leather - bound hardcover to an arabic translation . the graphic design of each different version is well designed and appropriate ; this is the kind of detail i really appreciate when filmmakers take the time to get right ) . but osborne doesn ' t have a first name , which means that the trade paperback floating around the floor of fischer ' s car looks a little unbalanced . click the image for a full - sized version :\nthe crime scene can present itself in a number of ways and may not be immediately obvious to the investigator or initial attending officer . there may also be multiple crime scenes which relate to the offence . scenes could include :\n@ foreign film fan : glad you are a fan of the element of crime & dancer in the dark , i agree lars von trier is a unique director . his films can be tough to watch emotionally , so your reaction to dancer in the dark is understandable .\nplanning and foresight are key to effective resource management . investigators must identify the resource needs of an investigation at the earliest opportunity . these will vary depending on the crime type and whether it is a volume crime or a major investigation .\ni loved the element of crime though the plot is almost incomprehension . dancer in the dark is all a killer movie . you know whats coming and you cant stop and you get all the let downs and depression to song and dance . what a movie wow . i have seen it several times and it makes me sick every time i watch it . ps breaking the waves is technically one of his best movies but i was unmoved . i dont guess a movie has ever been made like element of crime or dancer in the dark .\nonly gets at the feel of the film ; a deeper look at some of the film\u2019s reoccurring images is necessary to provide further insight . the title seems to be the single most important key , as the plot hinges upon the titular criminology technique that osborne has developed . there are several scenes in which a glowing blue television screen plays a tape of old interviews with osborne . in these interviews , and ones that fisher has in person , osborne suggests that crime is like a chemical reaction that can only occur under precise conditions . this is the \u201celement\u201d of crime , the environment in which it propagates like a contagious disease . in trier\u2019s own words , \u201cthe element of crime is the force of nature that intrudes upon and somehow invades people\u2019s morals . \u201d\nthe functions of a csu can vary between forces . if the csu contacts the investigator following the review of a crime report or enquiry , the investigator may be required to take further action .\nreview all undetected crime enquiries and file as undetected when the minimum standards of investigation have been met and no further lines of enquiry are viable .\nit tells the story of detective fisher , expatriate in cairo , who undergoes therapeutic hypnosis in order to recall the events of his last case , which left him quite traumatised . the rest of the movie thus consists entirely of a flashback of said events : the search for an elusive child killer , using a controversial profiling method created by his former mentor and described in a book , the titular element of crime .\nwe also added an oily patina and other reflective materials to give the impression that nature was taking over . everything was damp and the walls were dripping . when i saw alien3 , it struck me that the environment it was set in was almost exactly like the one we created for the element of crime\u201d\nhome office ( n . d . ) national crime reporting standards : what you need to know\nreading the term \u201celement\u201d as literally as possible ( one can not overlook playful word games when dealing with trier ) , one would quickly conclude that the element of crime is water . water serves as the principle guiding motif of the entire film , saturating nearly every location . a canal runs by osborne\u2019s house , the police headquarters\u2019 archive is flooded , the harbor , the ferry , the dive and the tunnel of love are dominated by bodies of water . rain pours down over every set in between . the extreme wetness of germany lies in sharp contrast to the implied dryness of cairo , where fisher speaks of the city being entirely \u201csanded over . \u201d\nmichael elphick stars as fisher , a man undergoing hypnotherapy in an attempt to cure his headaches . after an hour of staring at the element of crime ' s palette , i knew exactly how he felt . as the film opens , fisher is living in cairo , where he ' s apparently seeking medical care on the set of raiders of the lost ark :\nregener - - who is known by many as the author of the book and film entitled\nherr lehmann\n- - and friedrichs met as members of the punk band\nneue liebe\n. they left to form element of crime in berlin in 1985 , a band that is known for its jazzy , melancholy rock songs .\n\u201cthe element of crime was an attempt to make a modern film noir , but a film noir in colour . i thought it would be terribly difficult , because there was a risk of it being far too coloured . i tried to counteract that in my use of colour and in the choice of locations . the film , after all , is filmed in a europe that is under the threat of nature . i haven\u2019t seen the film for a long time now\u2026what\u2019s the film about ? well , what can i say ? there\u2019s an element of intrigue with a couple of obscure ideas about switches of identity . \u201d\ngerman rock is always super exciting to watch live , from the quality and precision of their musical capabilities , to the dedication that they put into every performance , it\u2019s always a great show . element of crime are even more exciting , with their pop rock twist to the genre , and the use of eclectic instruments such as the trumpet to fill out their sound .\nsome resourcing decisions in volume crime investigations are outside the investigator\u2019s control , and the use of specialist or technological resources will primarily be driven by local force policies and budgets . tactical tasking and coordination ( tt & c ) meetings and / or local tasking meetings will often dictate the level of response and resources which are allocated to volume crime investigations , in line with local policing priorities . see acpo ( 2009 ) practice advice on the management of priority and volume crime ( the volume crime management model ) , second edition . the use of experts will need to be considered carefully , as part of the overall use of resources . investigators must prioritise the needs of the investigation against the available resources where resources are limited .\nthe earliest statute that made receiving stolen property a crime was enacted in england in 1692 . it provided that the receiver\u2014the person who accepts the property\u2014should be deemed an accessory after the fact to the theft . the crime became a separate substantive offense in 1827 , and it has been similarly treated in a majority of u . s . jurisdictions .\nthe only other von trier film i ' ve seen is dancer in the dark , which i thought stephanie zacharek summed up pretty well for salon : von trier ' s\nmovies are meat grinders he feeds his characters through .\nthe element of crime doesn ' t really fit that description , but only because it ' s impossible to give a damn about any of the film ' s characters . both films are as cruel to female characters as brazil . in the element of crime , women are either there to be loathed and then fucked and then loathed again , like me me lai , who plays fischer ' s lover :\nlars von trier ( b . 1956 ) is a danish film director and screenwriter . he received the palme d ' or for dancer in the dark , the prix du jury for europa , and the technical grand prize for the element of crime and europa at the cannes film festival . his political and humanitarian work was honored in 2004 with the cinema for peace awareness award .\nthese are generated throughout the investigation . they are evidence - specific , and some information about the crime is needed in order to identify the most appropriate action . examples of specific lines of enquiry include :\nin order to be guilty , the receiver must intend to deprive the owner of the property . the crime is committed even if the receiver intends to obtain a reward for returning the property because she has gained a benefit from depriving the owner of possession , even temporarily .\n[ image : before taking the dive . ] in trier\u2019s film , the dive is an act of suicide brought on by the insanity consuming the town . it is a ritual and a crime all rolled into one . the dive shows the emotional depths of despair to which we can sink as much as it displays the physical heights from which we can fall . it is in the dive that we begin to see the human element that is so absent in the film\u2019s tone .\nthe techniques of crime scene management are based on locard\u2019s principle of exchange . anyone who enters the scene both takes something of the scene with them and leaves something of themselves behind . this means that every contact leaves a trace , however miniscule . this could be :\nthe principle of \u2018passing the baton\u2019 applies . in the majority of volume crime cases , the handover can be recorded on the crime report or associated document . in serious cases a verbal briefing / debriefing may be necessary to fully update the new investigator . this allows information to be disseminated and / or the physical transfer of documents or exhibits . the initial investigator is also able to communicate to the new investigator any actions that need to be finalised . a full record should be made of the handover process .\nproviding a safe learning environment is the key obligation of any educational facility . however to do this properly they must find effective solutions for preventing crime from taking place .\nthis element is measured by the statement \u201cin the last six months , someone at work has talked to me about my progress . \u201d some people think a performance review will suffice . but it\u2019s not nearly enough , write the authors of 12 : the elements of great managing .\nthe lyrical construction of the film\u2019s prologue suggests something of what the philosopher gilles deleuze calls a \u201ccrystal image\u201d\u2014fusing the pastness of the recorded event with the presentness of its viewing . like the crystal globe that fills with snow as charles foster kane dies at the beginning of\none of the unexpected downsides of social media is that it has transformed the dynamics of crime , offering criminals and terrorists easier access to victims . the prevalence of social networking has allowed them to identify potential victims and collect vast amounts of sensitive personal information that can be used for a number of criminal purposes , including extortion and kidnapping .\npolice officers exercise a high level of discretion when dealing with situations on the street . this is not directly overseen by sergeants and inspectors , and this makes the supervision of frontline officers challenging . crime investigation standards are , therefore , useful to monitor and measure the performance of individual investigators and the quality of the investigation .\nthe element of crime is lars von trier ' s 1984 debut film , a genre busting movie , a science fiction film as well as a psychological thriller with plot and characters typical of film noir , but the general atmosphere of a cyberpunk with a chance of rain story , located in immediately post - world war iii europe , with surrealist undertones , and the whole thing filmed in a fashion homaging expressionist movies . the result is one of the gloomiest movies ever directed which makes even blade runner look bright and optimistic .\nanother key element to safely securing a school , college or university is carefully planned perimeter security . perimeter security needs to form part of the overall architecture of a site and should aim to restrict the movement of people and vehicles for example through gates , fences , bollards and vehicle barriers .\nfisher , an ex - cop , returns to his old beat somewhere in northern europe after a thirteen - year hiatus in cairo . his former mentor and role model , author of a treatise called\nthe element of crime\n, asks him to solve a series of murders involving lottery ticket sellers . guided by the theories put forth in the book , fischer retraces the steps of a suspect , harry grey , as recorded in a three - year - old police surveillance report .\n\u201ccreating the introduction was fun , and also the ending , but the bit in between wasn\u2019t as much fun . the plot itself is fairly theoretical . it\u2019s about one man , fisher , pursuing another man , harry grey , a criminal , and during this journey he gets so affected by the fate of his quarry that he slowly begins to assume his identity . he assumes \u2018the element of crime\u2019 which governs harry grey , and makes it his own . ( \u2026 ) and in large parts of it the locations and the atmosphere are more interesting than the story\u201d\nequally , the movement of police officers or staff between scenes may cross - contaminate the available material , and confuse or mislead the investigation . if in doubt , officers should seek advice from csis or crime scene managers .\nthe title of this article is a bit funny ; it is also grammatically incorrect . it should read \u201cwho did it\u201d or \u201cwho has done it\u201d . it is an american label of a certain genre in crime literature . the classic plot is a crime committed , an investigator , and his ways of finding out \u201cwhodunit\u201d . the genre is recognised by a fairly fixed set of ingredients , and it has a history which is closely linked with certain aspects of victorian england .\nthese traces provide valuable material that can link a suspect to the crime . the techniques for recovering this material are highly specialised and csis have the necessary training and equipment to carry them out .\nosborne ' s book details\na series of mental exercises designed to improve our understanding of the behavioural pattern of the criminal .\nalthough it is strongly implied that the investigative method outlined by osborne in the element of crime has since been discredited , fisher begins to think and act like harry grey in order to retrace grey ' s route and in so doing anticipate the scene of the next crime . fisher is befriended by a prostitute , kim ( meme lai ) , whom he takes with him on his journey , urging her to address him as harry grey . soon , fisher intuits what he believes to be the geometrical pattern that grey is using to choose his murder sites\u2014not the geometric figure of the square , as osborne had believed , but the alphabetic glyph\nh\n\u2014and hastens to halle , the city where he believes the next murder will occur .\nalthough the movie predates the long string of serial killer films of the 90s , all the tropes of the genre are there . the killer has a grand design he ' s enacting with geometric precision :\nthe continuity of all exhibits must be maintained , and every movement and transfer accurately recorded . if the material is removed from storage for any reason , or transferred , for example , for forensic examination , this should be recorded . the record should detail the reasons for the movement , the name of the person who removed it , when it was removed and to whom it has been transferred . advice on recovery , handling and storage of exhibits can be obtained from crime scene investigators , crime scene managers or supervisors .\nother investigative actions entail developing and completing lines of enquiry , and recording the decision - making process which underpins this action in the crime report or associated documents . this assists colleagues , supervisors and managers to verify the progress of the investigation and to advise on prioritisation issues to support it .\nwell , as someone who really like the german band element of crime , i always wanted to watch the movie that inspired the band ' s name . i thought it was a disappointing waste of time . you can see some film noir , fassbinder , and whatever else influences , but the movie remains pretentiously stylish while presenting a fragmented , often incoherent narrative . looks a bit like a master ' s project from a film academy ( i believe it was the director ' s first movie ) .\nto ensure that a focused and good quality investigation takes place , supervisors review each crime and allocate it appropriately , setting and agreeing a clear investigative plan . the supervisor also reviews the crime report to ensure that all positive lines of enquiry have been identified and tasked , to promptly resolve the investigation . regular supervisor checks must also be completed to check the progress of the investigation , offer support to the officer in charge ( oic ) and to ensure that all investigative opportunities are considered and completed .\nso what ' s von trier ' s mash up of film noir , cultural anxiety , and monochromatic cinematography in service of , exactly ? my theory is that it ' s in service of lars von trier . this was his first feature , and from a game theory perspective , the element of crime is kind of a brilliant opening move . the script is just a draft away from being a conventional serial killer film . if a few of the stranger lines were excised , it would have been easy to raise money to get the movie made . the sodium lighting makes the film instantly memorable ; you can ' t mistake a frame of it for anything else . and the fragments of other films von trier has shored against his ruins are critic bait if i ' ve ever seen it . if von trier had made the serial killer film the element of crime is very close to becoming , it would probably have gone straight to video . if he ' d announced upfront that his plan was to make an incoherent mess of references to other films , and color the whole thing like urine besides , i doubt he would have found a willing producer . by combining the two , he made a grand entrance , and hasn ' t slowed down since .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthe first thing to say concerns the atmosphere and the style of the film . it is bleak . it is dark . the only color is a few dots of red in a lot of black .\nosborne was a criminologist with an unconventional method that will be familiar to fans of crime movies ( and which john woo took very literally ) : in order to catch a criminal , you must become him . osborne refers to his method somewhat cryptically as\nthe element of crime .\nto anticipate where the serial killer will next surface , fisher duplicates a preparatory trip the killer took before his first crimes . fisher drives the same route , stays in the same hotels , wears a hat with the killer ' s name on it , and even sleeps with the same woman . does he end up identifying a little too well with the killer ? are the killer and the cop assigned to catch him , in the end , not so different ? well , i don ' t want to give anything away .\nthat ' s appropriate , since like the third man , the element of crime takes it as a given that europe is in its last stages of moral and physical collapse . everyone fisher meets seems to be on their last legs , and the sets are uniformly decaying . the references to apocalypse now are a tougher fit , since that film dealt with such a uniquely american catastrophe . they ' re there , though : jerold wells in the still above is meant to remind you of brando , and there ' s a great helicopter shot later in the film that ' s should have\nride of the valkyries\nplaying over it :\nin a majority of states , the person whose property was stolen may bring a conversion action against the receiver of stolen property . if the accused is found to have converted the property , the victim has a choice of remedies . the victim may demand that the accused return the stolen property or may require the accused to pay the full value of the property at the time it was converted .\nevery educational site is different and therefore both the threats to security and the level of response that is needed will vary accordingly . however , when it comes to theft , vandalism and criminal damage , some of the most common types of crime that occur within these facilities , all educational sites need to be vigilant and well prepared .\nthese are designed to support performance improvement in investigations and should underpin effective enquiries at each stage of the investigative process . each force sets their own crime investigation standards , which are disseminated to staff . they should be interdependent with the national intelligence model , to ensure that they support the deployment of appropriate resources to areas of identified priority at the correct time .\nsupervisors are required to document on the review any further enquiries that are necessary . this means that they take responsibility for directing crime investigations and supervising staff effectively and with transparency , in line with local force policy for the duration of workload reviews .\nthe visible presence of cctv can have a powerful impact , reassuring students , staff , parents and visitors and also acting as a deterrent to anyone who tries to commit a crime such as theft , assault or criminal damage .\nreading the book in question , because many of the plot details are revealed .\nread about the attitudes and behaviors of the world ' s 7 billion citizens .\nthe threat of crime is very real to schools , colleges and universities throughout the uk and the effects can sometimes be devastating . the cost of replacing stolen equipment and repairing physical damage which can occur as a result of crimes like theft , arson and criminal damage can have a significant impact on a school\u2019s budget and mean that they have less money to spend on improvements to facilities , equipment and personnel . there are also the non - financial costs to consider , such as damage to an institution\u2019s reputation , fear of safety among staff , parents and students and the significant disruption to learning that can occur as a result of a serious crime .\nwhile i find the element of crime difficult to watch ( it really is nightmarish ) , i can ' t deny that it has style . and style , like personality , goes a long way . in von trier ' s case , it took him to cannes , where he was nominated for the golden palm and left with a technical grand prize . i don ' t like this movie . but i do think von trier is a magnificent bastard for making it .\nwhen deciding on the resources required , the investigator must consider the appropriate level of investigative response , the availability and cost of the required resources and whether their use is necessary and proportionate .\nthe true horror of facing our buried fears and conflicts . and that is surely the aim of art that matters .\npolicy files should mainly be used to record strategic policy decisions , operational priorities , and strategic , critical and investigative issues . although these files are not action books , they should be used to document the progress of an investigation . the use of policy files is subject to acpo crime committee ( 1999 ) revised guidelines for the use of policy files .\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 .\nan honest , although mistaken , belief that property is not stolen is a defense to the crime of receiving stolen property . intoxication is another defense , but the intoxication must be severe enough to prevent any knowledge that the property was stolen . infancy and insanity are also good defenses .\ni have seen and enjoyed all sorts of\ndifficult\nfilms ( check some of the other titles i ' ve rated ) , but if\nthe element of crime\nhad caused me one more smidge of boredom or exasperation , i wouldn ' t have been able to sit through it . i stopped caring what was happening about halfway through , and just tried to enjoy the camerawork and set design . what a shame about the negative accidentally being dunked in maple syrup . i ' m boosting my rating from two to 2 . 5 stars as an act of faith , just because i suspect something was lost in the transition to the small screen . disclaimer : i didn ' t like\nblade runner\nmuch either .\nanother worrying form of crime that can and does occur in educational facilities is assault . this can include violent crime such as common assault , grievous bodily harm and sexual offences . assault could occur in a number of different ways and could be perpetrated by visitors , staff , students or people from outside of the site . from 2012 \u2013 2015 an estimated 5 , 500 alleged sex crimes were reported in uk schools and an average of 878 children are removed from classes for abuse or assault on fellow pupils and teachers every day .\n[ image : scenes of people shooting or screaming into the darkness form a motif of utter desperation throughout the film . ]\nthe problem with this hodgepodge of cinematic references is that they don ' t make the film any less tedious . von trier does create a pretty convincing nightmare : there are plot points that almost make sense , vague suggestions of ominous things happening off - camera , and more textbook freudian puns than bringing up baby . but unless you ' re really emotionally invested in the decline and fall of european culture\u2014in which case , you ' re probably blogging about islamofascism , not watching arthouse movies\u2014 the element of crime isn ' t going to connect as anything more than a stylistic exercise . if you want a moving depiction of a nightmare , your time would be better spent with\nin dreams begin responsibilities .\n' s ' europa ' trilogy which illuminates the traumas of europe in the future . the two other parts are\n\u2018breaking the waves\u2019

which , if pursued , is likely to establish significant facts , preserve material or lead to the resolution of the investigation . the volume of actions should be proportionate to the type of

slavery , set in the southern u . s . in the 1930s .\nsecond , what happened at road shook at the foundations of victorian morality and convention . the notion that \u201can englishman\u2019s home is his castle\u201d is an expression of nineteenth - century thinking amongst the middle and upper classes . the road murder violated this most secure and reassuring of sanctuaries . if the family home was the bedrock of a stable society , the brutal killing of a small child by someone close to him \u2013 and the illicit activities and dark emotions from which the act must have stemmed \u2013 threatened the very fabric of the community .\nthe characteristics of the road murder were therefore particularly resonant in victorian society . consequently , in the years after 1860 , writers distilled those characteristics to create a formula that was used repeatedly to capture public attention , just as the original crime had done . many of the authors concerned , particularly the later ones , probably knew little or nothing about road , but that didn\u2019t matter ; the formula was embedded in the nation\u2019s literary culture . it should not be imagined , however , that crime writing was invented by the victorians . there is no shortage of black deeds in the literature of all periods . shakespearean crime can be shocking . american essayist s . clarke hulse memorably said that titus andronicus was a play with \u201cfourteen killings , nine of them on stage , six severed members , one rape \u2026 one live burial , one case of insanity and one of cannibalism \u2013 an average of 5 . 2 atrocities per act . \u201d yet there is something very matter - of - fact about it all . hamlet stabs his prospective father - in - law and more or less says \u201cwhoops : wrong man . \u201d the focus is very much on emotions and motivations , and the crimes are merely the means by which feelings are made visible on stage . one senses that elizabethan audiences were familiar with death and didn\u2019t need or want the details spelt out .\nthe group of people gather at the house in copenhagen suburb to break all the limitations and to bring out the\ninner idiot\nin themselves .\nthe architecture in that room also contributes a lot to the sense of unreality in many of the locations . the walls are strangely angled and you can\u2019t quite get your bearings in it .\nin many jurisdictions a belief that the property is stolen satisfies the knowledge element . it has been held that a mere suspicion does not constitute knowledge . some statutes provide that a person has knowledge if he knows , or has reason to know , that goods are stolen . another test is whether a reasonable person would suspect that the property was stolen . knowledge is commonly proved by the circumstances surrounding the receipt of the property . for example , unexplained possession of goods that were recently stolen raises a presumption that the possessor received them illegally .\nthe investigator should keep an auditable record of the reasons for taking a particular investigative action . recording this information demonstrates the accountability and integrity of the investigative process , and provides an invaluable resource for the initial or subsequent investigator and for the organisation . it also provides an overview of the investigation and can be used to record :\nexpert advisers ( ea ) are independent of the police service , but can assist an investigation by using their specialist knowledge and expertise to give an opinion on a particular matter . the national crime agency ( nca ) specialist operations centre ( soc ) maintains a database containing the details of eas . in the first instance , investigators should contact soc to obtain the services of an ea . the facility is available 24 / 7 on 0845 000 5463 . soc can also provide further investigative support , for example :\ninvestigators must prioritise and determine the proportionality of the investigative process in accordance with force policies . the final decision about which investigative actions to undertake must be driven by the investigation itself and not just by completing a checklist . a standard method of developing the elements of the investigative strategy should be adopted .\nafter determining that the crime scenes are forming the letter h ( as seen from a map ) , fisher lays a trap for grey at the seventh and final point that would complete the pattern . while waiting with a young girl selected as bait , fisher accidentally drops the killer\u2019s calling card , which he had picked up at the scene of the first crime . the girl panics and screams and fisher suffocates her while attempting to keep her quiet . some time later , kramer reveals that osborne was responsible for the sixth murder and mistakenly credits the final one to him as well . kim is revealed to be harry grey\u2019s former wife , and briefly the wife of osborne as well . fisher is left free , but unable to wake from his session of hypnosis . he has , like osborne , become the elusive murderer he sought to capture and now remains trapped within his own nightmare flashback .\nthe

yellows of the sodium lights , the disembodied voices , the sounds of ever - present rain , and the oppressive imagery are artfully assembled to explore the dark halls of memory and psyche . yet the story and theme are remarkably unremarkable . 30 min is enough .\nlars von trier is a danish film - maker and screenwriter , known for his dark and intense movies . he has been known to set his own genre in the film industry by focusing on darker and bolder side of stories and characters . having being given a camera at the age of 11 , trier started his journey of film - making in early 1980s . he studied film - making at national film school of denmark and thereafter began directing movies . his movie \u2018the element of crime\u2019 won him many accolades and awards for screenplay and direction . it also earned him a nomination at cannes film festival for the very first time . with his movie \u2018breaking the waves\u2019 trier began to showcase bolder characters and stories . this was in news for its unconventional plot and bold scenes . but , trier faced trouble when he experimented with the movie \u2018nymphomaniac\u2019 . due to the explicit scenes in the movie , trier had to make several cuts in it . it is his exceptionally bolder vision that has made the danish film - maker the eminent director that he is today .\nthe lights went down and the feedback of sven

of - age films made for girls of colour , at least not in the way there are for white girls . when gurinder chadha\u2019s film bend it like beckham was released in 2002 , it was the first time i was able to see myself in pop culture : in a young south asian girl struggling to reconcile her passion and identity with that of her family\u2019s seemingly conservative ideals . thirteen years since the film\u2019s release , it still remains formative . queer - ing bend it like beckham is an attempt to both coalesce my love for the film and interrogate my experiences and growing consciousness as a queer , south asian woman of colour .\ni\u2019m convinced that there was an unrealised romantic relationship between the two female leads jesminder \u201cjess\u201d bhamra and juliette \u201cjules\u201d paxton . an interpretation that is not only based on suggestive queerness in the girls\u2019 interactions ( ok , and my fantasy ) ; but also the persistent yet unconfirmed rumours that there was a love story between jess and jules , denied out of fear of isolating mainstream audiences .\nexploring this seemingly impossible narrative between jess and jules , could unearth the radical potential of queer south asian female desire as a form of resistance . queer identities within diaspora introduce bodies and identities that disrupt gender normativity and challenge the dominant whiteness of queer stories .\njess interacts with her indian identity as if it were a burden , and negotiates this through challenging stereotypes of what a \u2018proper\u2019 indian girl is . this fragmentation of identity is a narrative many young south asian women , including myself , can relate to . jess is resistant , resilient and disruptive in more ways than one . she embodies the paradoxes of what it is to wield a hyphenated diasporic identity and be a young woman of colour in a predominantly white community . jess\u2019 potential queerness complicates this further , and dispels presumptions about south asian girlhood and being part of a diaspora .\ni\u2019m definitely not advocating for a \u2018coming out\u2019 story , but rather i\u2019m saying that queerness here , could operate on multiple levels : sexual , social and political . queer in this sense refers to non - normative sexualities , but is more than \u2018just sex . \u2019 queerness is also about disorientating and complicating dichotomous understandings of identity . queer , for me , offers the political potential of intruding and shattering dominant modes of understanding and interacting .\nno doubt , the film sets out to challenge gender roles and narrow conceptions of femininity and masculinity . the title itself , refers to girls \u2018bending\u2019 prescribed cultural and gender roles , as well as taking up space in ( literally ) a male dominated field . both jess and jules have to resist the patriarchy and its stereotypical gender roles , but i feel this is an insufficient reading ; as jess navigates britain as a racialized and sexual being as well ; orienting her in a specific direction , thereby affecting how she \u2018takes up\u2019 space .\n\u2018bending\u2019 also lends itself to a queer interpretation , but chadha opts for its feminist implications . yet , there are many scenes between jess and jules charged with coded queer desires : jules\u2019 awe and wistful staring , the \u2018almost\u2019 kisses , the mis - recognitions of a lesbian relationship ? these fuel the queer imagination , and leave lingering a dialogue about the potentials of queer diasporic representations .\ndespite this , there are many derisive references to lesbianism via comedic plot lines of multiple mis - recognitions of lesbianism \u2014 trivializing same - sex relationships with one - liners . \u201cmother , just because i wear trackies and play sport does not make me a lesbian , \u201d intones jules . the attitudes around same - sex relations ( from both the south asian and british communities ) in this film , however trivial , present these non - normative desires as unacceptable , inadvertently implying that diasporic queerness is in conflict with racial and gender subordination .\nthough the film is progressive in many senses , mobilizing a queer diasporic framework reveals how chadha utilizes a conventional trope of shutting down the possibility of queer female desire . jess is decreed as heterosexual , and queerness is displaced ( with little effort ) to her best friend tony . he confesses his homosexuality : \u201ci really like beckham . \u201d\nthe dislocation of queerness onto the body of the male supporting character , rather than the central female character , is an act of making invisible the queer female experience . denying jess\u2019 queer potential erases the ways in which queer female identities intrude , resist and reconfigure \u2018home\u2019 spaces .\nit may seem like i am affording chadha\u2019s film with more political potential than it deserves , but i think it can offer a platform and accessible starting point to interrogate \u2018broader\u2019 issues regarding gender , sexuality , race , class , caste , culture , nation , diaspora . exploring moments of deviation from presumed scripts of identity is vital for alternative communities that are inclusive and committed to sustained intersectional politics .\nthe omission of jess and jules\u2019 love story upholds the erasure and impossibility of queer female desire , which further isolates these members of diasporic communities . this contributes to nationalist , patriarchal and colonial narratives that shrouds and reinscribes norms , which queerness shatters . the relationship between jess and jules could have served as an example of respectful and considerate alliances across difference , as well as the complexities that come with interracial , queer relationships . that\u2019s a film i want to see . but this potential remains unrealised , liminal , impossible .\nfrom a quick cheer to a standing ovation , clap to show how much you enjoyed this story .\nto know when people like your submissions , answer your questions , reply to you , etc . , please create a free account and log in . premium membership is also available for just $ 12 a year , which removes all adverts , prioritises your submissions , and more .\naddresses are not passed on to any third party , and are used solely for direct communication from this site . you can unsubscribe at any time .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthe earnest mental ward coming - of - age tale is more john hughes than nurse ratched .\nnow the pair swings for the mainstream fences with a setting - - - a mental ward - - - that sounds more suited to its first film , but is actually an earnest coming - of - age story toeing the saucy - sweet juno line , including animated sequences , an indie rock score , cable - minted stars and a dance number .\nit begins on a literal precipice , as craig ( keir gilchrist from the united states of tara ) stands on a bridge , ready to jump . he relents and instead checks himself into the hospital . he relents on that decision too , but it ' s too late - - - there ' s a mandatory five - day stay . the teen ward is under construction so he ' s up with the real crazies on the adult floor . his roommate hasn ' t left his bed in months . the cute girl his age ( emma roberts ) is a self - mutilating mess . the de facto leader is zach galifinakis .\nbased on the novel by ned vizzini , it ' s kind of a funny story has an upper - middle - class hurdle to overcome : craig ' s suicidal feelings come from academic pressure - - - his workaholic dad ( jim gaffigan ) wants him to get into a prestigious summer school program . bfd . but it digs deeper , into teen depression , a problem\nsolved\nby overmedication ( craig has already stopped taking his zoloft ) . his dad isn ' t around to see the problem , and his mom ( lauren graham , sigh ) doesn ' t know what to do about it . so here we are .\nthe film allows galifinakis to grow as an actor , as opposed to sticking him in his underwear and punching him in the face . his bobby only has a few days left in the ward , and he ' s trying to get into a group home so he can be a better father . the movie builds a real character for him , and most of the patients , while sidestepping the usual mental - ward cliches of evil nurses and overdoses .\ngilchrist has done very fine work through both seasons of tara as the elegant , quietly gay son of a very ill woman , and it ' s easy to draw parallels to his role here , though not as a detriment to either performance -

studded cast of the film includes shaan , saima , irfan khoosat , mustafa qureshi , afzal ahmed and others . noor reveals that the film revolves around a big family , their two sons and then grandsons , all living together . both qureshi and ahmed will be seen playing crucial parts . ahmed , who is finally back after suffering from a stroke which left him wheelchair bound and unable to speak , has a role that\u2019s designed to accommodate his condition . shaan and saima will feature as the children of the lead characters .\n\u201cin these times , to have a film like this being made is a positive thing , \u201d states qureshi . \u201cwe are , in a way , trying to discuss those issues which matter to the people of the country . i really believe that relationships thrive on understanding and likewise a nation also thrives on understanding amongst citizens . \u201d\nlike qureshi , producer safdar malik also believes that the best thing about the film is that most people in pakistan can relate to it . recently , questions have arisen over whether a family film can generate enough revenue for the film - maker as well as cinema owners . malik states , \u201cpeople are tired of the vulgar and cheap films that are commonplace these days . that\u2019s the reason families don\u2019t even bother going to the cinemas . this will be a comeback of a genre of films that has been long neglected . \u201d\nwhile talking about the onslaught of foreign movies and how they affect the business of local ones , malik says , \u201ccurrently , the industry is not producing enough films so foreign and indian films are necessary for the survival of cinemas and theatres . however , on our part , we have made sure that at least some work is going on and that new faces are getting a chance to show their mettle . \u201d\nwritten by saleem zuberi , pervaiz kaleem , film centres around sufism and difference between temporal and eternal love .\nwith lollywood film acha gujjar under her belt , the stage and film actor plans to make waves in the industry .\nwe must revive the pakistani film industry and become a society with a pulse again .\ncensor board chairman says the step was taken only to revive cinema culture in pakistan .\nagree with above comments . . bollywood has failed to make the marks that was expected . biggest grossers are films like khuda ke liye and bol . if media give more projection , greater number of people will show interest thus improving the condition of film industry .\nanother reason this \u201cshahreeka\u201d is doomed for the flop bin is that people are exhausted to keeping seeing saima - shan the tired two some that continue the failing formula lollywood history . shan continues to promote material that defuses lollywood instead of reviving it . many adore shan but he done little to introduce new subjects or new talent . shans refusal to think outside the box he continues to play it safe causing lollywood to fall behind in creativity .\nthese pictures show that the film will be full of stereotypes\u2026 . cast looks the same , we have been watching these actors in similar roles for the past 10 -

worthy horror cliches and an annoying romantic subplot followed by plenty of over - dramatic moments and terrible soundtrack choices that doesn ' t compensate to the original source material . performances from the actors were sub - par to say the very least , nothing too special or even broadly appealing to fans and non - fans alike . wilhelm dafoe however , is excellent unsurprisingly as ryuk the shinigami ; its another one of those rare cases where you have a small element in the film worth seeing even with what little he has . other than that , the film just wasn ' t that good at all , i ' ll give credit to the cinematography looking sleek and stylish , though it this film ' s americanization it ' s losing the compelling and complex edge that made the source material amazing in the first place . it ' s all too easy to say it ' s overall ; an underwhelming adaptation as it ' s an underwhelming film , i wasn ' t too surprised given the odd approach and the questionable choices to the various changes this film made in terms to the source material , it ' s doesn ' t stack up at all except upon scratching the surface and not digging deep enough .\nimposture frequently conceals the truth \u2013 or , indeed , the absence of truth . but don\u2019t think for a minute that i have been adding my voice to the rancorous chorus of song remains the same bashers . i\u2019ve no doubt that the film is flawed in many ways , but it is those very flaws that require us to look at it in a less judgmental light . it is , in advance of the great auteur\u2019s 1998 masterpiece , the histoire ( s ) du cin\u00e9ma . the song remains the same testifies to godard\u2019s notion of cinema as becoming , or \u2018which might have been\u2019 .\na teenage filmmaker successfully raises $ 100 , 000 to shoot a pioneering horror film . 25 years later , he tells the story of a cult classic that never was .\nin it we get a glimpse of hela \u2013 the norse goddess of death \u2013 confronting thor , and it does not go well for him or his hammer . alas , poor mjolnir , we hardly knew thee .\nbobby\nblue\nbland was an american r & b singer noted for his rich baritone voice , sophisticated style and sensual delivery . his first no . 1 song was\nfarther on up the road .\nwaititi shot a facebook live at the end of shooting , which revealed that miek \u2013 an ally of hulk ' s from that same storyline \u2013 will appear in the film .\nfollowing marvel ' s trend for snagging some major a -

[ full review in spanish ]\na dark song is a beguiling terror that saves its best reveals right up until the end , the lines between good and evil , right and wrong , heaven and hell , hypnotically blurring until they practically no longer exist .\n( 2000 ) . scott and his team went to considerable lengths to sustain the life and death of oliver reed\u2019s character , the charismatic proximo , and thereby satisfy the pitiless demands of continuity . drawing on every trick in both the analogue and digital toolbox , from stand - ins and important sound bites from outtakes to cgi masking of reed\u2019s face on a body double , proximo\u2019s presence in the film was assured .\nthis quintessential piece of inadvertent criticism , in which the google search string , \u2018on the receiving end of crippling criticism\u2019 , was published in newsline pakistan in may 2008 and was called , quite fittingly , \u2018the song remains the same\u2019 .\nonce a dark song starts delving into issues like love , loss , faith , and the natural human reaction to sudden tragedy , that ' s when it blossoms from a novel concept to a truly powerful piece of genre filmmaking .\npresley & apos ; s memphis home , graceland , is open to the public , and numerous fans from around the world visit the legendary residence annually , especially around presley & apos ; s birthday and the anniversary of his death .\nsuch images of explosive derision and indifference were ciphers of a dysfunction that characterised the entire conception and production of the film . in retrospect , it is no surprise why it was subject to such vicious critical scrutiny . generically , the film sits awkwardly between a rockumentary that details the highs and lows of being on tour and a live concert experience of the biggest rock band in the world at the time , captured on stage at madison square garden in new york ( the film was promoted as a \u2019front row seat on led zeppelin\u2019 ) . uneasily woven into this mix of the more familiar attributes of the rock film genre was a series of autobiographical , highly stylised fantasy sequences , of the kind noted previously , designed to explore the personalities and imaginations of the band members themselves .\nwaititi has hinted at the tone of the film , saying\nthe new logo suits the ' 70s / ' 80s sci - fi fantasy that this film is becoming\n. anyone else thinking of the neverending story right now ? he has also said that he is basically ignoring the other two thor films and the rest of the mcu , which is a bold move and no mistake .\nthe episode also ( mostly ) resolved the complex conspiracy that led to sweets\u2019 untimely death , included a ferocious , impeccably acted booth - brennan fight scene , and brought sweets\u2019 quasi - successor ( and eerie doppelg\u00e4nger ) aubrey into the forefront .\nthe concept to make a feature film that captured the energy of a zeppelin live performance emerged during the band\u2019s historic 1973 us tour . peter whitehead\u2019s and stanley dorfman\u2019s film of led zeppelin\u2019s 1970 concert at the royal albert hall dramatically revealed how powerful , even on film , led zeppelin were in performance ; it had whet many appetites , so expectations were high when american director joe massot convinced peter grant to engage his services . apart from the usual challenges associated with any film project , particularly one that involves shooting live footage , massot\u2019s greatest problem was having to deal with peter grant and led zeppelin . \u2018problematic\u2019 hardly captures the fraught nature of his attempts to engage his employers to co - operate with a project to which , by the time filming was to start , they seemed entirely indifferent .\nadapted the screenplay from the previously unpublished novel\noff magazine street\nby ronald everett capps . capps ' son , grayson capps , appears in the film and contributed six songs to its soundtrack .\nmunro leaf\u2019s classic children\u2019s book the story of ferdinand is receiving the animated movie treatment , and a new trailer has arrived to give us all a look at the film while announcing new cast members and a new song from nick jonas . how can you dare to resist this movie about a cartoon bull now , i ask ? you can\u2019t , don\u2019t even try . the new ferdinand trailer packed full of all this new information awaits you below .\ntvline | did you anticipate such a strong fan reaction to sweets\u2019 death ? we knew it was going to be very upsetting , but the response is really intense . it\u2019s a testament to the show , but really to john . people were so connected to him and the character that the loss was personal . i don\u2019t mean to be callous , but that\u2019s the way it should be . if [ a death like this is ] easily dismissed it means the dramatic impact wasn\u2019t that great .\ndarcy paquet is the author of new korean cinema : breaking the waves , and an advisor to the udine far east film festival . a native of massachusetts , he has been living in seoul since 1997 .\nsometimes , the final destination book series also takes advantage of the\nsong of death\ncomposition . in dead reckoning , music by aerosmith is used to acompany two of the deaths ( which is apparently something one character , charlie , makes note of ) . in end of the line ,\ncrazy train\nby ozzy osbourne is played during the main accident . in dead man ' s hand ,\nwe gotta get out of this place\nby the animals is played during some of the deaths .\nan instant classic , the sort of film that will make you check under your bed at night and then amplify into terror the midnight creaks and 3am breezes that unsettle every house at times , most especially yours .\nthe general impression from such criticism dished out to the film since 1976 is that there is far too much in it that should never have made it into the public domain . perhaps this is what peter grant had in mind when he remarked that it was \u2018the most expensive home movie ever made\u2019 . ( 7 ) and if that\u2019s not condemnation enough , robert plant dismissed it as \u2018a load of old bollocks\u2019 . ( 8 ) but for me the ultimate sign of the cultural preterite that the song remains the same is destined to be on the receiving end of crippling criticism was the result of a google search on the film that yielded a story about criticism of the pakistan peoples party .\ndo you have a copy of chris welch ' s book peter grant : the man who led zeppelin ? i ' m writing a paper for the bad cinema conference on the song remains the same and am keen to get hold of that book if possible .\nin an alternate timeline created by a continuity bomb , the doctor did not seek the help of the teselecta and allowed river to prevent his death . the two then married and settled down for a domestic life as time remained frozen . ( comic : four doctors )\nthe quote from ecclesiastes that prefaces jean baudrillard\u2019s simulations may well be a fitting epitaph for the song remains the same : \u2018the simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth \u2013 it is the truth which conceals that there is none\u2019 . ( 15 ) but it is also apposite to jimmy page\u2019s remastered edition of the film in surround sound that was released in november 2007 . a variation on the director\u2019s cut genre of dvd , this version of the film was especially notable for the high quality of its sound ; the surround sound mix was designed to generate a greater sense of immersive presence for the home theatre experience . in fact this version of the film is the first time in its history that the soundtrack and the images were correctly synched . ( 16 ) it was this achievement of situating the listener in the crowd at the concert , \u2018from the ultimate vantage point\u2019 , that cameron crowe argued was the singular experience of the original vinyl lp .\ndeath note is a movie starring nat wolff , lakeith stanfield , and margaret qualley . a high school student named light turner discovers a mysterious notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written within its pages , and launches a secret crusade to rid the world of criminals .\nfor river song the majority of the events take place before tv : the time of angels / flesh and stone and after tv : closing time . her final scene takes place before tv : a good man goes to war and after tv : the time of angels / flesh and stone\nthe film is named for the norse end of the world myth ragnarok \u2013 which is supposed to kill off the gods and bring mankind to the brink of extinction ( quite literally \u2013 leaving only two survivors left to repopulate the world ) .\nwhen the film was released , the music press was particularly scathing of its amateurism and enigmatic bombast , an apparently contradictory yet suggestive characterisation of both the film\u2019s checkered production history and the band\u2019s gargantuan , if obscurely expressed , egotism . writing in circus magazine robert duncan , for instance , presumed it had been made by \u2018junior college students who had just discovered lsd\u2019 ( 4 ) and rolling stone journalist dave marsh asserted that far \u2018from being a monument to zeppelin\u2019s stardom the song remains the same is a tribute to their rapaciousness and inconsideration . . . their sense of themselves merits only contempt\u2019 . ( 5 ) with the release of the film in dvd format in 1999 and its subsequent remastered version in 2007 , the digitally versatile generation had no less patience for such self - indulgence than its original theatrical audiences of the late \u201870s , nor the sisyphean feats of endurance apparently required to watch it from start to finish . \u2018nowadays\u2019 , as one reviewer notes , \u2018you\u2019d need the patience of a saint \u2013 or an industrial vat of mind - altering substances \u2013 to go the distance\u2019 . ( 6 ) similarly , with head already aching at the prospect of corny fantasy sequences , another announces with indignant pride that he watched the film \u2018with copious use of the fast forward button\u2019 .\nthe ' planet hulk ' story is being incorporated into the film , with thor and hulk forced to fight for the entertainment of the masses on sakaar . although it looks like hulk might be happier in his role than his fellow avenger is .\nthe secret path is an animated film adaptation of gord downie ' s album and jeff lemire ' s graphic novel . working with downie ' s poetry and music , lemire has created a powerful visual representation of the life of chanie wenjack . the film is divided into ten chapters , each a song from downie ' s musical retelling of chanie ' s story \u2013 from his escape from the cecilia jeffrey indian residential school , to his subsequent and heartbreaking death from hunger and exposure to the harsh weather . the final product is a uniquely immersive emotional experience - an insight into the life of a little boy who , as gord has said , he never knew ,\nbut will always love .\nthe secret path was created , written , and directed by gord downie , composed by gord downie with kevin drew and dave hamelin , and illustrated by author jeff lemire . the film is executive produced by mike downie , patrick downie , gord downie , and sarah polley . the secret path is produced by entertainment one ( eone ) and antica productions ltd . in association with cbc , with the participation of the canada media fund and the canadian film or video production tax credit . jocelyn hamilton is executive producer for eone television and stuart coxe is executive producer for antica productions . animation is directed by justin stephenson , produced at solis animation inc . and composited by even steven inc . the secret path was broadcast by cbc in an hour - long commercial - free television special in sunday , october 23 . the secret path and road to reconciliation panel discussion can be watched at urltoken .\nthousands of fans traveled to graceland on august 16 , 2012 \u2014 the 35th anniversary of elvis presley & apos ; s death \u2014 for a special vigil in honor of the king of rock & apos ; n & apos ; roll . during the gathering , fans held lit candles and stood outside of presley & apos ; s home . though the presley family holds a tribute event each year to mark the anniversary of presley & apos ; s death , the 2012 gathering was unique : presley & apos ; s estranged wife , priscilla , and daughter lisa marie presley appeared together for the first time at the annual event .\nit is a miracle that the song remains the same was made at all . its problematic and often vitriolic realisation from initial conception in 1973 to theatrical release in 1976 is the grand narrative of the cinematic apparatus , the structural r\u00e9cit du cin\u00e9ma . and if you think that characters such as cecil b . demille , orson welles or dino de laurentiis are the archetypal big bad boys of hollywood cinema , think again . joe massot and peter clifton should go down in the history of film as martyrs to the cause , if only for having to deal with peter grant .\ndaniel hart ' s rich score , which includes a tender song written by affleck ' s character , is dominated by mournful strings , which accelerate and grow more agitated as the dead husband becomes distressed . the first instance is when a man accompanies mara ' s character home , prompting warning flickers of paranormal activity .\nwhat do we conclude from the jaundiced history of the song remains the same ? it is clear that , rather than some hideous chimera that should never have been made , the film and the story of its making is , in fact , archetypal filmmaking . the history of cinema is the history of overcoming circumstance . from a cybernetic point of view , the final film that is eventually screened is not a successful culmination of shooting , editing and post - production schedule . it is a measure of the degree to which entropy or error has been avoided or at the very least minimised during the entire production process . that is , to appropriate norbert wiener\u2019s definition of feedback , the completion of a motion picture \u2018proceeds in such a way that we may say roughly that the amount by which ( the film ) is not yet ( complete ) is decreased at each stage\u2019 . ( 18 ) the relentless re - shoots , inclement conditions on location , actors forgetting lines or failing to show up , boom mics entering the frame and countless other mishaps that thwart directors all constitute the fragile process that is filmmaking .\nbalwant singh rajoana is on death row at a patiala jail for the 1995 assassination of former punjab chief minister beant singh . bhindranwale was a militant leader who had holed up with his supporters and arms in amritsar ' s golden temple in 1984 and fought a pitched battle from there with security forces , till he was killed .\nrachna is a british director working across genres , tackling complex themes through personal stories . her diverse storytelling background spans film , theatre , animation and alternative reality games . rachna directed award - winning online programmes for channel 4 and bbc before becoming executive producer / director at google creative lab europe . there she worked on major advertising campaigns before returning to the world of fiction with our lad . made with the support of channel 4 , our lad was selected for a number of international film festivals including london , seattle and raindance . rachna is currently developing a slate of feature film and television projects . she has been selected for numerous emerging talent schemes including bfi network @ lff . she was named a screen international \u2018star of tomorrow\u2019 in 2015 and featured on the bbc new talent hotlist in 2017 .\nthe episode featured an unusually extreme alteration to the course of history resulting from a change to a fixed point in time . it also showed how the doctor survived his supposed death and it concluded a long - running story - arc when the doctor married river song . however , a new arc arose in its place with a prophetic statement about the doctor ' s future battles , which would become a pressing matter in due time . it ' s also the first time since the first half of series 6 that amy ' s pain of losing melody on demon ' s run is mentioned , and she takes her anger out on kovarian by killing her .\nsometime in the morning of august 16 , 1977 , presley died of heart failure , at the age of 42 . it was later ruled that his death was related to his prescription drug use . presley was buried on the graceland property , near the gravesites of his mother , gladys , father vernon and grandmother minnie mae hood presley .\ntvline | are you going to have the cast sing \u201c coconut \u201d every time a major character dies ? [ laughs ] hopefully we\u2019re not going to lose anyone else for a while . it had to be . it was sweets\u2019 jam . it would\u2019ve been sacrilege to not have a rag - tag group singing that song to him .\nin final destination 3 , death ' s song is\nturn around , look at me\ncorvered by the lettermen ( the credits mention the orginal writers by mistake ) , and is played thrice in the movie . it doesn ' t really relate to the premonition at all , but it is still relevant for various reasons . the first time it is used , the lyrics that should be noticed are\nturn around\nthis is because wendy and kevin had to turn around to see the truck rolling towards them and also ( as evidenced by the choose your fate version ) they needed to make frankie turn around , so that they ' d know to save him .\nimpeccably and tenderly portrayed , feldman , o\u2019connell , wheaton , and phoenix spun a nostalgic narrative for moviegoers , reminding us of that particular age in our lives when we dealt with friendship , loss , morality , and death with a less conscious vulnerability . ( the featured track by ben e . king also didn\u2019t help in the kleenex department . )\ntom\u2019s theory of filmmaking is also suggestive of the found or potential concept of theatre as theorised and practiced by british director peter brook : \u2018i can take any empty space and call it a bare stage . a man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him , and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged\u2019 . ( 22 ) the emergence of \u2018which might have been\u2019 both in experimental theatre and the nouvelle vague are analogues of the serial making of the song remains the same ; a process that began in 1973 and , given jimmy page\u2019s inability to leave the film alone , continues today .\nin tsugumi ohba and takeshi obata \u2018s original 2003 - 2006 supernatural suspense manga , a teenager named light finds a notebook with which he can put people to death by writing their names . he begins a self - anointed crusade against the criminals of the world , and a cat - and - mouse game begins with the authorities and one idiosyncratic genius detective .\nthere ' s no more childlike representation of a spectral presence than a figure draped in a white bed - sheet with cutout holes for eyes . so it initially seems a playfully low - tech choice that in david lowery ' s strange and beguiling a ghost story , such a figure returns from death to keep watch like a sentinel over the life he once lived and the home he once loved . what ' s more remarkable is the unsettling power that unsophisticated image builds as the film develops into a sorrowful contemplation of lingering connections . this melancholy mood piece won ' t be for everyone , but distributor a24 should be able to cultivate an admiring niche audience .\nfinally , this story notably killed off a close ally of the doctor who had made numerous appearances in doctor who ' s original 1963 - 1989 run : brigadier alistair gordon lethbridge - stewart . his actor , nicholas courtney , had died of cancer the previous february , and his character was written out to pay respect to his passing . the character had made numerous recurring appearances from the web of fear in 1968 to battlefield in 1989 , and regularly starred in the series from 1970 ' s spearhead from space to 1974 ' s robot . the death of lethbridge - stewart would be commonly referenced in future unit stories until death in heaven , when he returned as a benevolent cyberman in a scene paying tribute to the late courtney .\nthe film will see the return of hela ( we don ' t know where she ' s been yet ) , who promptly destroys thor ' s hammer . the thunder god is banished to the planet sakaar and forced to fight in the grandmaster ' s arena , while hela makes a bid to conquer asgard .\nsleekly shaven - headed , with a pirate bandana , a gangsta\u2019s dripped - in - death tattoos , and the liquid stare of an arabian prince , tupac shakur was the matinee idol of hip - hop superstars : not the fiercest rapper , not the most virtuosic or visionary , but a figure of \u201chard\u201d ferocity who elevated street nihilism by fusing it with a certain lovesexy bravura . [ \u2026 ]\nso , in secrecy worthy of a le carr\u00e9 novel , led zeppelin played alongside their filmic avatars as the ultimate cover band . only coming to light in recent years , this is surely the most closely guarded fraud of the twentieth century , with the possible exception of the television coverage of the landing on the moon in 1969 and the zapruder film of the assassination of john f . kennedy . in a recent interview in uncut magazine , jimmy page fessed up that \u2018i\u2019m sort of miming at shepperton to what i\u2019d played at madison square garden , but of course , although i\u2019ve got a rough approximation of what i was playing from night to night , it\u2019s not exact . so the film that came out in the \u201870s is a bit warts - and - all\u2019 . ( 13 ) however , when you watch the film there is a curious sequence in the theremin interlude in \u2018whole lotta love\u2019 that features mirror images of both page and plant as if they are copying themselves .\nwe ' ve also heard that the cotati could show up in film . the plant - like alien race have a strong connection to pom klementieff ' s new guardians of the galaxy vol 2 character mantis , which could indicate a link between the two movies . no word on whether she might make an appearance herself yet .\nsixteen years after zeppelin performed to zeppelin , milli vanilli were forced to return their best new artist grammy for lip - synching to themselves the year before . one wonders what jorge luis borges , the grand master of the hyperreal , would have made of zeppelin\u2019s charade , for surely it would have been for him the most sublime inversion of his notion of exactitude in science , whereby the territory would now completely cover the map . kathleen carroll , reviewing the film in the new york daily news , was clearly not fooled by the deception , referring to the film as \u2018a hopelessly pretentious piece of trash . . . in what is laughably called a performance\u2019 . ( 14 )\nsince his death , presley has remained one of the world & apos ; s most popular music icons . over the years , several documentaries and films have explored the enigmatic performer , including a 2005 television miniseries starring jonathan rhys - meyers as elvis . in 2018 hbo released a two - part documentary , elvis presley : the searcher , which explores his early life , rise to fame and his myriad musical influences .\n, think he\u2019d survive to see a version of his life told onscreen with such knowledge , unpredictability , and grace ? based on a story by the gay black playwright tarell alvin mccraney\u2014jenkins himself is not gay\u2014the film is virtuosic in part because of jenkins\u2019s eye and in part because of the tale it tells , which begins in nineteen - eighties miami .\ndominic l . santana , who plays knight , captures the underworld mogul\u2019s self - righteous menace , and the second half of the movie , in which shakur finds his greatest success , records his greatest song ( the momentous \u201ccalifornia love\u201d ) , and experiences his greatest existential confusion while at death row , is the ominous heart of \u201call eyez on me . \u201d it\u2019s not just that he\u2019s surrounded by back - stabbers and glad - handers , as well as musicians like dr . dre ( harold house moore , in an underwritten role ) and snoop dogg ( jarrett ellis , who gets the voice but not the snakish cunning ) . in essence , tupac is still in prison , trapped not just in a three - album contract but in a stance of outlaw brutishness that\u2019s become , in his own mind , \u201cpolitical\u201d : the only stance the white man will allow him .\nbut montage is a wonderful thing and , within the rock film genre , has an amazing ability to fool the eye . one particularly hostile reviewer writing in the new york times was beguiled by its spell into believing that when peter grant is bawling out a concert promoter behind the scenes , it is indeed happening at madison square garden , none the wiser to the fact that it was actually filmed at the baltimore civic centre . ( 20 ) and while we\u2019re on it , i\u2019m sorry to spoil the party but the lord of the rings trilogy was not filmed in middle earth . the making of the song remains the same cautions us to avoid the mistake that the digital age has continuously perpetuated in some of its rhetoric , that non - linear editing came into being with premiere and pro - tools .\nsoon , presley was everywhere \u2014 on the radio , television and the silver screen \u2014 working as a musician and actor . his first film , love me tender ( 1956 ) , was a box office hit . even a stint in the u . s . military couldn & apos ; t put a damper on presley & apos ; s thriving career . he received his draft notice in 1957 , and was inducted into the army the following march . he eventually served in germany for about a year and a half . shortly before presley left for europe , his beloved mother , gladys , died . he was granted a leave and returned to memphis for the funeral . deeply saddened by her death , presley returned to duty . while in germany , his spirits were lifted slightly when he met a young teenager named priscilla beaulieu .\npaddy\u2019s masterful imagining of kevin\u2019s richly layered story is a magic combination - and i can\u2019t wait to bring it to life . like all the best stories , it\u2019s wild , weird and beautiful - tackling the meat and messiness of life - and death - with a firm helping of irish wit . it\u2019s about the ties that connect us to our opposites and the ties to our pasts that we can\u2019t escape , making the everyday epic whilst highlighting its futility in the same moment .\nbut the truth of the matter is more compelling . negativity towards the film characterised virtually every moment of its making , an atmosphere of bad vibes generated from within the inner circle of the band and its management and the two hapless directors , joe massot and peter clifton , who attempted to exercise their craft and at the same time appease the hammer of the gods . at a closed screening of the rushes of jimmy page\u2019s crowley - esque fantasy sequence as the hermit or old man of the mountain , john bonham\u2019s hysterical laughter at page\u2019s hokey make - up and fake beard caused him to vomit up his meal of fish and chips that he had brought into the theatre , much to the hyper - sensitive page\u2019s mortification . ( 1 ) prior to its theatrical release and on the verge of the pitch to warner brothers for worldwide distribution of the film , atlantic records president ahmet ertegun fell asleep during a private screening , reducing the imposing peter grant to tears . apparently ertegun did not recognise iconic zeppelin front man plant in his arthurian - inspired fantasy sequence , asking on awakening at the end of the film , \u2019who was that guy on the horse ? \u2019 .

colored traditional half - saree with jasmine adoring their young and long tresses and the whole atmosphere was gala at its best . it was the perfect traditional wedding set - up one could ever wish for\u2026\npreethi was getting married to her distant relative prem . prem was not only a distant relative but also a childhood friend of preethi . the marriage was nevertheless an arranged - marriage . prem was working for a small company as an engineer . preethi had just finished her graduation in commerce and was full of dreams of a happy wedded life .\nwhen the muhurtham time arrived , the archakar shouted getti - melam - - - getti - melam and with the perfection of a symphony , all the musicians sitting across started trumpeting their nadaswaram and tabla with a high pitch and prem tied the \u201cthali\u201d around preethi\u2019s ever - inviting neck . while preethi was all smiles and tears , prem was all smiles whilst bundle of nerves . the rituals went on for another hour and the couple was set free to move around .\npreethi went into the bride\u2019s room in the mantap and met with all the relatives who had arrived from near and far - off places and hours flew by the minutes and days flew by the hours and months flew by the days . any progress ? any progress ? questioned near and dear ones started asking preethi . did you check - up with a doctor ? and what not \u2013 all sorts of assumptions were being made adding to the mental agony for preethi .\nit was prem and preethi who knew the reasons . prem mentioned that since he was not very well off \u2013 they could have a child when he was fit - enough meaning when he gets into a good job with a good salary . preethi agreed .\nafter a year or so , prem moved into a better job with a better salary . their happiness knew no bounds . they went for their real honeymoon to ooty for a week . preethi went to all those temples which she had visited earlier , to pray for a better break for prem , to thank all those gods now .\nas months passed by , preethi felt it was the right time to get into a new home of their own ; de - linking prem\u2019s aged parents all alone . she justified saying it was the right time to set up a family of their own \u2013 disconnecting the dependence of prem on his father . for this proposal to go nuclear , prem disagreed saying he wanted to have a fat bank balance . preethi never agreed to this \u2013 saying a small loan at this stage would not seem such a big burden .\npreethi instead of convincing prem and father - in - law , protested vehemently . neither prem nor his father could understand her motivation to go nuclear . preethi confided in me that she enjoyed very little freedom at home ; she could not understand prem the extent she liked ; she mentioned that even to go for a weekend movie , prem would invite his parents ; she had to labor at home with the daily chores ; she felt constrained when her college friends wanted to visit her for a day or two \u2013 because her in - laws protested ; never a day passed by without a stinker of a comment on her cooking ; in short she felt out - of - place . she never felt the homely feeling that she enjoyed at her parents home .\non repeated pleadings by prem , preethi mentioned that prem\u2019s brother and his wife were making nasty comments about them being dependent on his father . in actual , prem was the one who was taking care of all the household expenses . so the impression of prem and mrs . prem depending on prem\u2019s father\u2019s pension was just a false - notion . despite prem\u2019s pleadings for couple of month\u2019s time , preethi , never agreed .\non getting a loan from a bank , prem and preethi , moved into a rented apartment . as days passed by , life in the new nuclear home became monotonous . preethi lost zest in life for unknown reasons and that reflected in her cooking and other household chores . despite prem asking for reasons , she never replied straight . she started yelling at prem . prem was confused . prem adjusted to the new scenario with the greatness of a true sage and moved on . when there was food at home , he had \u2013 without protesting on poor - taste or poor - quality of preparation .\ni wondered what else prem could do . now when i asked preethi \u2013 she was my schoolmate and we have been together for more than a decade now \u2013 she never replied straight . but with me and our other common friends , she showed no change . she was as bubbly as she has ever - been . but the problems in marriage showed up in her sharp reactionary comments and attitude in life . but she did mention that the way she chatted for hours with prem before marriage , was missing now . she mentioned that she had expected that she would be chatting more with prem after marriage and the quality and content of chats would be much more deeper and more meaningful . she wondered whatever happened to that . words were not there to blurt out ; neither were they finding any topics of mutual interest to discuss .\nwhen i asked prem , if there was any problem in marriage \u2013 \u201cproblems ? no , no way . \u201d prem was as charming as he has ever been . but for some strange reasons , the charm between prem and preethi , vanished for reasons not known to the outside world .\npreethi , are you upset that you don\u2019t have a kid ? - i asked mildly but in the straightest possible manner . she kept mum and never replied . when i fired the same question to prem \u2013 \u201cno . no way . when i cannot take care of my own needs and dreams , there is no way can i have a child\u201d \u2013 was the straight reply . did you convince preethi on this aspect ? \u2013 \u201cyes\u201d was another straight reply . i wondered the reasons for the chemistry to vanish between them . all the elements of normal marriage were missing between them .\nprem was getting all the more frustrated seeing his friends and colleagues happily married and having fun in life . he felt that there was no fun in life without a good marriage and that there was an end to all problems . in this case , he thought the best was to get a divorce . preethi also , apparently , felt the same \u2013 but never opened her mind on this contentious issue called \u201cdivorce\u201d .\n\u201cpreethi , will you accept a divorce ? \u201d \u2013 i asked her . she thundered \u201cwhat the hell ? are you trying to break my marriage ? do you have any vested interest in breaking my marriage ? - and all hell broke loose . i did not pursue further in this matter and left her alone .\nprem was fed up with the marriage and he felt that there was no way he could continue like this forever . hence he approached his dad saying he wanted to divorce . to his dismay , his father replied straight \u2013 \u201ctake a vacation and come back . everything will be alright\u201d .\nwhen prem approached his mother \u2013 she passed away with a massive heart attack .\nbehind prem\u2019s charming smiles were hidden all the dejections that one could ever have in a failed marriage . but none in the outside world could ever guess this .\nprem\u2019s dad stuck to his position and said that problems in marriage are all common . divert your attention from this issue for few days and everything will become ok . prem was disgusted with this reply and vowed that he never would come back to his father seeking help or guidance .\nthough embarrassing , very reluctantly he approached his aunt to help him . but in vain . when he approached his elder brother , he just laughed away the matter , saying \u2013 \u201cbaby , c\u2019mon you are too young to talk big things like divorce . it will be a shame on our entire family if you even mention the word divorce outside these four walls \u2013 imagine the depths of shame if you divorce \u2013 go go . take a vacation and come back ; everything will be alright . \u201d\nprem , a shy and god - fearing person by nature did not have the guts to rock the boat , in a single mighty stroke .\nmonths passed by and the chemistry that existed between prem and preethi before marriage never returned \u2013 according to both prem and preethi . prem felt highly disgusted and even thought of committing suicide .\nprem was cheerful as ever and when he invited me for a dinner \u2013 i agreed reluctantly . he took me to a five star hotel . \u201cwhy did you not invite preethi ? \u201d \u201cto hell with her . don\u2019t get her name here . i just came to relax and wanted to have a peaceful dinner \u2013 sans crowd . \u201d \u201cok\u2026 cool down . i bet you will have the dinner of your lifetime tonight\u201d i cheered him . while having food\u2026he cribbed \u2013 \u201ci have cleared the personal loan ; acquired a car ; acquired all the fancy items that i had dreamt for many years now ; also acquired a small apartment of my own ; but i am getting frustrated in life despite all these positives . i did not buy all these on my own volition \u2013 it was preethi who egged me to each one of these . now still she is not content and i don\u2019t know what else she wants . apparently she herself is confused . i feel like killing her . none in the family are coming to my rescue \u2013 no one wants to help me . i am frustrated . \u201d seeing him in a very dejected and charged up mood , i thought it was better he stay away from preethi for the weekend for a change . so i invited him to my apartment .\nin the apartment , passions ran high when prem was narrating his sad stories . i was completely overwhelmed listening to his tragedy in life \u2013 when i came back to senses we were on the sofa au - naturel . i saw prem deep in sleep . i slept back . the next morning , with a sense of guilt , i had my longest bath ever . a while later\u2026\u201cprem\u2026prem get up \u2013 it\u2019s already nine . \u201d finding no response from prem , i shook his head\u2026but his head was hanging with saliva out and\u2026he was gone forever .\ni was shattered to the core ; carrying the unbearable pain in the heart and confusion in my mind ; i went back to kerala to be with my ever - loving parents ; and stayed there for few years .\nwhen i came to chennai on an occasion , i thought of calling - on preethi . there she was\u2026sitting alone in a dark room , playing with a doll . \u201cpreethi , do you recognize me ? \u201d staring at me like a wounded tiger , she whispered \u2013 \u201cwhy am i alive . kill me\u2026kill me\u2026\u201d . clutching the doll she cried , \u201cthis is my daughter . her father is prem . do you know ? \u201d\ni called out \u201csada . . sada\u2026\u201d came running my 9 year old daughter sada\u2026with tears rolling down my eyes , i was shattered beyond control and comprehension . sada is the living memory of that portentous day with prem\u2026\nsixthsenseman : thanks for stopping by . . . i agree . . . expectations growing exponentially and level of patience spiralling downwards - i feel , is the root cause of all problems / discord in current day marriages .\nit was a masterpiece . you have rightly thrown light on the problem faced by the majority of couple . one can find many preetis and prems in the modern world . the nuclear families had added fuel further to the breaking marriages . expectations are very high from each other in married couples and patience is much lesser . further the sense of insecurity is there ! one longs for more and more . important decisions like , having a child or marrying is deferred in the name of settling or in the name of career . divorce seems to be the only solution . in fact , one should give enough breathing space to other spouse so that there is no suffocation in the married life .\nthe emergence of sara is the most impressive part of your story . what a tragic end to the marriage of prem and preeti ! but we should try to peep deep into ourselves to find the answers !\nwow ! an excellent analytical comment - i suspect you beat even google - analytics software .\nchanging partners frequently as in the usa - where about 60 % of the marriages ends in divorce urltoken - is not desirable in indian context , for the simple reason that about 80 % of the girls here are dependant on husband for a living . the divorced women may fall into wrong traps like prostitution , etc .\nin todays ' indian metros divorce rate has increased tremendously [ actually doubled in 2006 in chennai as per a report in deccan chronicle couple of weeks back ] because the expectations are not only very high but skewed . every guy [ expressly wishes ] wants to see an aishwarya in his wife and every girl [ implicitly desires ] wants to see a sharuk khan or amir or some other hero in her husband . that is the reason while guys / gals go through 100s of profiles during the match - making process - and after marriage - within a couple of weeks they realise that the dreams were one thing and actuality is something very different - resulting in discord . it is said that guys imagine the\nstuff\nbeneath the saree and girls imagine\nstuff\n[ the heart ] beneath the skin - during the match making ceremony - which [ imagined calculation ] i personally feel in most cases will go awry . coming back to the report , it also mentioned that divorce rate was very very high among employed females - in this highly materialistic world relationship also has become a commodity - which is a sad thing that is happening to fast growing indian metros .\nanyway it is a complex topic to be debated , but very interesting . why don ' t you come out with a blog on this and i guess will be a sure fire hit in sulekha .\nin arranged marriages , there are many benefits . besides matching horoscopes of both , they see character , status and everything before marrying . in such marriages , relatives get together and share happier moments , elders bless young couples and life starts smoothly . some marriages end in failures which cannot be avoided .\nin this case , preeti got frustrated because of no issue of children and prem was not interested in having child till he is financially secured . he was solely responsible for the precarious situation of preeti . in india , elders start enquiring bride ( within few months ) as to whether she has become pregrant or not ? at one stage , it becomes a head ache and if she remains childless for few years , then the lift becomes horrible . in this case prem did not want to become father and the marriage went into rocks . though he had all comforts , preeti could not be satisfied mainly for this reason and he remained admant which caused his life .\ntrue , life becomes boring at one stage without children . after all , how long one can see each other ' s face . we have a proverb in tamil , ` mogam muppathu naal , aasai arubathu naal ' . couples indulge in sexual pleasures for some days . after few months , it too becomes boring . that ' s why to carry on life , children are needed . children not only make parents happy , but they make grand parents also happy and keep them engaged .\nprem ' s option of getting divorce was not approved by their parents and elders for flimsy reasons is appreciable . in india , parents do not approve divorces for flimsy reasons . for them , life would have been more pleasant , had he listened to preeti ( of having child ) .\nin metros , couples start living on mutual understanding ( without the botheration of bearing and rearing children ) . as long as mutual understanding exists between them , they live together . once misunderstanding creeps in , they opt for separation and go for another partner ( like western culture ) .\ni failed to get an apt title for this piece - finally after about 15 minutes of pondering , i thought of this title and placed it . - the title means\nwish you a long married life\nbut in this case , it turns contrary - to that extent the title is in direct contrast to the end ! ! !\nthe point i was trying to make was that the\ngroup dynamics of elders\nneed to radically shift .\ndoes the title old some significance ? . . . . did not zctully get its meaning .\nthe story on the whole begings well . . . it has a direction , the end though seems to have been made up with limited choices . . . as you said the start was a reality you could see and the end . . seems to have been made up , well . . it shows .\nthe good part is the narration , the pointers towards elders leaving things at\ngo get a vacation\n, and the materialistic endevours instead of the spritual kinds . . . nice write uips on the whole\ncultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be .\n- i like this and it is very apt .\ni was not looking for that explicit explanation that you have give : that was quiet understandable . there can be several interpretations . but no , i was not bothered by the lack of the explicit conclusion in the story . i was talking about the problem between prem and preethi .\nabout your two questions , 1 > elders do come to\nhelp\n. 2 > no they do not have to stick together .\ni have seen the two things happen so many times . so they are not some exceptions .\ncultural restrictions are only as strong as we let them to be . usually , we use them as excuses to cover our own inadequacies or lack of personal strength . one has to stop questioning\nthem\nand start questioning\noneself\n.\nthanks for stopping by . . . i agree these things never happened in the past . . .\nstorywise well written , backgorund well portrayed , the build up to the issue was fine . . . but where is the issue . issue itself missing . . . answer is found towards the end . . . childlessness . . . whose fault is that . . . why did nt they check out it out with a doctor ?\nwhat prompted preethi to distant herself from prem ? it is her urltoken is her upbringing . may be she is upset with herself ? the guilt that she can ' t give birth to a baby . . . the guilt that she cant bear his child . . . therefore she created a racket . . . rather pre -

written espionage thriller story which reminds me a lot of robert ludlum ' s bourne series . connor fitzgerald is a cia operative with years of dedicated service as an assassin for the united states government in foreign countries around the world . when his superiors set him up to be captured and executed in an effort to get rid of him , they learn how loyal some of his friends are , and instead of going away , he becomes a threat and a liability to them . i found\nbrit writer jeffrey archer is having quite a month . hot on the heels of last week\u2019s story that bourne producer frank marshall would be developing a spy movie franchise based on archer\u2019s novels a matter of honor and honor among thieves comes news that another one of archer\u2019s books \u2014 the eleventh commandment \u2014 is being developed as a thriller television series by the walking dead producer gale ann hurd . the story follows cia assassin connor fitzgerald , who finds himself facing off against his own boss , agency chief helen dexter . meanwhile , a ruthless russian power is plotting to start world war iii . read more after the jump .\nlast night i finished the eleventh commandment by jeffrey archer . in one word - wow ! have i missed this ? how can this not have been made into a movie ? is it politically incorrect ? anyway , the whole book follows connor fitzgerald , a man i liken to james bond in the loosest sense . not a womaniser , a man we all aspire to have as a friend or soul mate . yet , deadly as sin . . . since he is an american agent . the story starts with an assassination and it takes one twist after another , whilst making you b\ni love jeffrey archer books and over the time i even got used to his style when within a few pages he tends to move by a decade or two - both an action and his characters - and you find yourself dealing with a few generations , not just one person : ) therefore ,\nthe eleventh commandment\ncame as a surprise , since the author gave only one character in his book the right to entertain its readers until the last page and i truly enjoyed the fast paste action and never boring adventure across the world . i love reading political thrillers and jeffrey archer did a great job at keeping me\nglued\nto the book : ) i think the ending was a bit predictable , but still i would definitely recommend it to other readers .\n) concerns of the 50s / 60s . due to the fact that overpopulation fears gained a lot of currency after the publication of the 1968 bestselling non -

portrait mentioned in the book . that is not in fact the case .\nthis was a fabulous book . the plot was fantastic and the characters were terrific . it gives a lot of insight into the inter - workings of the cia , an the administration . there were so many twists and turns , you couldn ' t put the book down . i would recommend it to everyone who loves a true thriller .\nindeed , the very gullibility of the gung -

atomic war future defined by this doctrine in a world which has already been overpopulated \u2014 earth , 2190 a . d , population circa 22 billion . as a result , del rey can make his social commentary on religion more relevant to the current day . obviously , in a world where there are almost no one a catholic doctrine which facilitates births would not be that surprising . however , in a world where the environment is suffering , cropland is increasingly sterile , or billions could die due to a single famine or contaminated plankton harvest , del rey\u2019s warning rings loud and strong .\nconnor fitzgerald is a professional ' s professional . holder of the medal of honor . devoted family man . servant of his country . but for the past twenty -

helen dexter - the director of the cia . dexter ' s stranglehold on the agency is threatened by one decision , and her only hope of survival is to destroy fitzgerald . meanwhile , on the other side of the world , a formidable new foe is threatening the united states : a ruthless hard - line russian president , who is determined to force a new military confrontation between the two superpowers .\ni generally enjoy jeffry archer , but this one attempted to be a spy thriller , and it was never really tense . i never got the sense that the main characters were really in danger . very slow -

mexico borderlands . how , the course asks , does sound matter in and around the borderlands ? how are borderland identities sonically and musically represented ? how does sound construct , critique , remix , or otherwise complicate perceptions of the borderlands ?\nculture crypt looks at a few fantasia film festival features shaping up to be hot topics among horror fans in 2018 .\nthe borderlands provides all the requisite jump - scares , blasts of static and long shadows , yet the film\u2019s at its strongest when the three characters are talking and pondering the nature of what they\u2019re investigating - it\u2019s the stumbling around in the dark and screaming that feels more by - the - numbers . this in itself marks the film out as something slightly unusual , since most found - footage films - see , for a recent example , devil\u2019s due - feature leads so generic and unremarkable that it\u2019s almost a relief when they do stop talking .\neliot goldner \u2019s film refutes the rulebook when it comes to the modern day found footage rulebook , in that every handy - cam film must have gobby teenage characters ( in fact that stereotype is literally punched in the face here ) . the borderlands is not only good because it breaks new ground or because it is scary ( which it genuinely is ) but it is the strength of the characters and acting that enthralls . there are few horrors where you hope there will be inactivity to listen to more of the character\u2019s unashamedly british banter but this is one of them . on top of that it is an excellent horror film too . a film thats influences span as wide as tv\u2019s the league of gentleman and peep show to the annals of hammer horror and h . p . lovecraft .\nthis out - sourcing reportedly took place in 2010 around the same time as work on borderlands 2 began and a whopping four years after aliens was announced by publisher sega .\nvirginie s\u00e9lavy : the film has a great sense of the moody , ominous british countryside in the tradition of the wicker man . there has been a resurgence of the british rural - horror genre in recent years , with ben wheatley \u2019s films , and most recently in fear . did you consciously try to make the film fit this sub - genre ?\nthoroughly enjoyable found footage horror film , with a lot of decent scares . i ' ve seen it 2 times since getting it the other day . the performances were excellent and the scenery and location of the film and how it was shot really impressed me . it ' s like a remake of the blair witch with an actual script and fleshed out plot . the big problem i had with it is the high amount of unanswered questions in the film . even the dvd packaging has a picture on it that leaves me wondering whether it ' s supposed to be a comment on one of the characters in the film . the idea that these mysterious\nwhy the hell did that character do that\nmoments are up to the interpretation of the viewer are not properly earned by the filmakers in my opinion . still it ' s a fairly small criticism on an otherwise great and frightening horror film .\nit ' s important to note , also , that borderlands didn ' t always look this way . once upon a time , it looked like this :\nif you ' re a film enthusiast and enjoy writing , we need you . become a roobla writer , now - urltoken\nelliot : the title , that\u2019s interesting , we didn\u2019t really talk about it until a very erudite journalist at fangoria picked up on a book called house on the borderlands which is a victorian horror novel about a guy finding a diary that contains stories about stuff that happens . it\u2019s very different to our film but it was one of the early inspirations for it and the borderlands title saw its way through to the end . it felt kind of relevant even though it\u2019s not clear immediately why the film is titled that way ; it has a lot of resonance to a number of things . it\u2019s definitely worth checking out , it\u2019s quite an interesting piece which was written in the late 1800s\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\nbefore borderlands , the studio had developed a number of brothers in arms games , some half - life spin - offs , and a number of other titles , but it wasn ' t until borderlands caught fire that the company really staked out its place as a major game developer doing important - - - some might say groundbreaking - - - work .\ni honestly think this is the best british horror film in ten years . it ' s simple , original , thought provoking and truly scary .\nthe found footage film has become colonised and almost completely overworked by the horror genre in recent years to the point that one greets yet another attempt to mine the form here with ennui . the greatest success among these was\nit is far from perfect and there are some flaws in there , but the borderlands is a really good found footage movie as it puts more emphasis on character than scares , at least for the first two thirds . the final act could have done with a bit more refinement and there were a few unanswered questions , but the borderlands is easily one of the better found footage movies produced in recent memory and could rival frankenstein\u2019s army for the best of the year .\nthe film will be introduced by program curator ashish rajadhyaksha , senior fellow at the centre for the study of culture & society , bangalore and co - author of the encyclopedia of indian cinema . a reception with the program curator will follow the screening .\n2015 also marks the long awaited by some united states release of the uk thriller \u201cthe borderlands\u201d under its new name of \u201cfinal prayer . \u201d interestingly , the copyright notice seemingly cites the film as \u201cdevil lies beneath , \u201d which would have been a title superior to the other two in spite of being a touch of a spoiler . destined to be deigned \u201cyet another\u201d first - person horror film by the grumpy bunch alluded to above , \u201cfinal prayer\u201d nevertheless has the ability to instill eerie chills into anyone still susceptible to the unique appeal of \u201cfound footage , \u201d even if the movie grabs from a familiar bag of tricks to do so .\nfootage from the question and answer session after the screening of the borderlands , a uk found footage horror film , at the mayhem horror film festival ( nottingham , england ) . in attendance is producer jennifer handorf , writer / director elliot goldner and actors robin hill and gordon kennedy . to read my review of the movie , head here -

going chemistry that firmly anchors this slow - burning shocker , whose rural setting deliberately evokes the wicker man\n. time out london and the hollywood reporter both gave mixed reviews for the film , and the hollywood reporter wrote that it has\nplenty of chilling atmosphere but lacks bite\n.\nit is an early , self - conscious hint that t he borderlands is conjuring the spirit of robin hardy\u2018s woodward - starring the wicker man , which also features smalltown conspiracy and heathen heterodoxy . meanwhile , the opening sequence of the borderlands , in which catholic investigator deacon ( gordon kennedy ) , is shown looking into an unexplained incident abroad \u2013 in this case in belem , brazil \u2013 has pointed instead to the structure of another 1973 picture : william friedkin\u2018s the exorcist .\nthis course introduces 20th and 21st century literature and film featuring real and fictional comanches in the comancher\u00eda and u . s . - mexico borderlands . from silent films to hollywood and independent productions , from historical fiction to literary analysis , we will compare texts and their diverse portrayals of comanche identity and intercultural relations . goals of the course include placing the readings and films into historical and cultural contexts , comparing comanche , indigenous mexican , and anglo representation in literature and film , and strengthening critical reading and viewing skills .\nthe borderlands is a game changer . elliot goldner shifts through the gears as action ranges from the utterly hilarious to the devastatingly terrifying . underpinned by an important religious subtext , the borderlands has reinvigorated the found footage sub - genre . fine lead performances from robin hill ( down terrace , kill list ) and gordon kennedy ground proceedings with a gritty realism . the tonal shift is expertly built into the church investigation ; the setting is inherently creepy which lends itself to the deeply haunting and often startling moments of shock . the memorable ending is bold and will send shockwaves through the genre . a must see .\nmuch of this may sound familiar , but the borderlands ' crafty virtue is that it understands that hand - held camerawork and boo scares aren ' t an excuse to neglect plot , dialogue or characters .\ninstead of drawing so much on folklore , old ghost stories or menacing hoodies ( although all these things play a part ) , the strongest element of the borderlands \u2019 identity as a british horror film is its central relationship . deacon and grey\u2019s bickering , boredom and bonding has the easy chemistry of a flat - share comedy in the best possible way ( the head - cam shots are occasionally a little reminsicent of peep show ) , and if we didn\u2019t like the characters so much , their fear in the face of the unknown would be far less affecting . as it is , the borderlands is a tense , atmospheric chiller that will send a shiver down your spine and definitely make you jump .\nsome classics are timeless solely for their quality , but the great gatsby carries remarkable relevancy for today ' s audiences . can baz luhrmann make a film worthy of the great gatsby name ?\nyou have to watch this film to the end to truly appreciate it . the ' found footage ' genre is rightly criticised but sometimes little gems come through . this is one of them . a lot has been made of the ending , but the rest of the film is quite good as well . i don ' t want to say too much regarding the film as several others will have done so before me , but you should perservere with the irritating ' techie ' and the scottish priest . the vatican team leader is an irritation . watch it with an open mind and appreciate the ending . . . . . . . . . .\nthe sort of god would be chthonic . of the earth or underworld , took sacrifices . . . not quite lovecraftian , but the beast in the borderlands reminded of chthonians , which have been added into lovecraft ' s mythos by other authors . the tone of the rest of the movie has very much a traditional lovecraftian worship vibe .\nplano , tx based game developer gearbox has been in the game - making business for a long time . in fact , this past february marked the developer ' s 14th anniversary . but prior to the release of borderlands in 2009 , gearbox flew largely under the radar .\nthe sudden overhaul of the game was a brash gamble that ultimately paid off , with borderlands selling well over 4 million copies since its release . the combination of rpg elements and a very unique art style led to a welcome critical and consumer reaction .\n( 1988 ) you keep thinking . this quasi - lovecraftian ending leaves the film ending on a question mark where you are never sure what is happening or what the agency behind everything is .\nelliot : that\u2019s right , that\u2019s the number one ! i mean i\u2019m sure there are faults in this film but i\u2019m sure there not the usual ones . i wanted to get past that .\nthe works presented in this exhibit were all created between 2011 and 2013 . a seemingly disconnected range of\nemotional states\n, as the artist calls it , has led to the creation of each of these . nonetheless , the viewer is drawn in by recurring patterns and motives , sometimes articulated to varying degrees and translated into multiple moods . bhaduri views her rapid shifting and transitioning between varying media and color themes as exemplary of her current personal response to the complexities of modern life .\nas his comic gray plays against kennedy\u2019s straight man deacon , hill brings an earthy humour here that\u2019s reminiscent of his r\u00f4le in ben wheatley\u2018s down terrace , grounding the borderlands \u2018 weirder narrative byroads in absurdly mundane hilarity . this , combined with the shakicam and the banal ordinariness of the wiltshire village , with its \u201cbetting shop , fish bar , laundry\u201d , and of course pub , lends the film a low authenticity that soon clashes with its more unsettling elements .\na film for the ages may appear an impossible task . just look at gatsby himself : an in - his - prime robert redford coming off his first academy award nomination for\nhe\u2019s just a funny person who\u2019s wandered into a horror film as opposed to it being a comedy film . the situations aren\u2019t funny and the lines aren\u2019t . as my character becomes progressively involved in the events of the story , there aren\u2019t any more jokes . he doesn\u2019t say anything funny after a certain point in the film , i mean he\u2019s genuinely scared and you see the character go from being quite light hearted to being terrified . the progression is hopefully reflected by the audience , from when you can be more laissez fare and then gradually becoming increasingly serious and terrified . this is not pick myself up but the idea is to continuously play it seriously . you play the jokes and horror in the spirit of the character and it\u2019s all the same essentially .\nfound footage movies are nothing new and ones based around religious / paranormal events are even more clich\u00e9 . but the borderlands manages to do something that all the others have failed at doing \u2013 it\u2019s entertaining , tense and incredibly well put together .\nin 2013 america\u2014depending on who you talk to\u2014we\u2019re either living in a continued recession or recovering from the worst economic collapse since the one so close to gatsby \u2019s original release . the various causes to america\u2019s latest recession have created a furthering of the class divide . occupy wall street . a fierce hatred of corporations . anything ostentatious being scaled back to avoid reproach . the american dream has become something modest . it\u2019s closer to just getting by , with many afraid to hope for the lavish lifestyle that seems so far out of reach .\na huge thank you from hmz film to mayhem festival and jennifer , elliot , robin and gordon for taking the time out to engage in such a fascinating interview . you guys will\na film can be horrible , but there ' s a difference between that and it searching for a purpose . if a film can ' t grab my interest or attention in the first 40 minutes , i may give up on it . even if , pretend , the last 50 minutes are brilliant . that ' s not better in my eyes , quality for me means that it ' s well planned even when badly done . this film plays like a brainstorm , akin to some stories that i saw in undergrad .\nthis all came to light when moss expressed his disappointment over the artwork via twitter :\ni ' m a huge gearbox fan so i was really disappointed to see this image inside the borderlands 2 box ,\nhe said , including an image of the box art .\ncritical reception for the borderlands has been predominantly positive and the film holds a rating of 80 % on rotten tomatoes , based on 15 reviews .

[ plot spoilers ] this is followed by several minutes of the two characters running / crawling through tunnels by torchlight \u0096 the point where the film starts to travel into more standard found footage territory . finally the characters become trapped in a narrow defile , finding that it is organic matter that starts to close in around them before it would seem ( the film is never very clear ) that they are inside the gullet of a creature \u0096 some giant worm a la\nelliot : i felt quite bad for aiden ( who plays mark in the film ) actually . i think it worked really well for the dynamic of the film , you two had been on set and had been acting together . aiden turns up a little bit later and he\u2019s like the antagonistic . he was doing some really funny improvisation but i had to tell him sorry ! just don\u2019t be funny ( laughs )\nnot exactly a\nlovecraftian\nfilm in the sense of being based on any of lovecraft ' s work or containing references to his creations , though some viewers may find the location and atmosphere suggestive of lovecraft ' s work ( an\neldritch location\nfilm ) ; the addition of cultists and gothic buried secrets push this a little further into lovecraft ' s genre than many such films .\ngreat found footage horror film that feels like a dogme film at times due to it ' s naturalistic setting . the alternate title\nfinal prayer\ni think was better suited to this especially since i saw this at necronomicon conference which celebrates the works of h . p . lovecraft and the incorporation of pre - christian religious rituals and it is as startling as one of his weird stories .\nand this was only possible because the film manages to build well a tense and believable atmosphere and maintain it until the final moment . the beginning is slow , but in the second act we have the first moment of impact involving an act of pure cruelty . really fucked up stuff .\nand why didn ' t gearbox follow through with hibon on directing cut - scenes or working on the borderlands project in some other faculty ? i would love to answer that question , but gearbox has declined to comment on this story .\n6 - this film was very clearly made within the very strict and troubled guidelines of modern found - footage horror , but it ' s effective and entertaining enough to be credited as a superior specimen of the former .\nsoon the characters will abandon the carefully erected structure of their , and our , modern belief systems for something more atavistic and appetitive that lies beneath , dormant yet undeniable . the borderlands might dramatise the precarious footing of catholicism \u2013 and science \u2013 or the ultimate failure of colonialism , or the return of the repressed , but mostly it takes the viewer to a deep dark place of nightmares , where reason is devoured by the primordial shadows .\ngoldner is plainly working in the shadow of ben wheatley , the young director who has revitalized the british horror scene in recent years , mixing nightmarish shocks with visceral violence and savage humor in films such as kill list and sightseers . he even borrows wheatley\u2019s regular editor and occasional actor , robin hill , to play a leading role here . but the borderlands is a much more conventional film than any of wheatley\u2019s work to date , lacking their stylistic brio , visual sorcery and creeping menace .\nthe borderlands\n, also known as\nfinal prayer\n, has one of the most surprising and horrifying endings i ' ve ever seen in a horror movie . even though it has been spoiled to me by a goddamn list on a site , the final scene is still shocking .\nthere is understandable fatigue with the found - footage genre , conjuring memories of countless films where a camera shakes in the dark whilst someone screams for sixty minutes . thankfully [ rec ] , lake mungo and the bay have shown that done well the medium can be effective and , whilst it may not be ground breaking , the borderlands is a welcome entry to the genre .\nhaving lived for many years , only a few miles from where this was filmed , i fully appreciate the atmosphere and sense of isolation this film manages to evoke . do not be put off by the \u2018found footage\u2019 nature of the film , it really works as there is still a lot of fixed footage as well . the cast is excellent and again shows how well comedy actors can take on serious roles . this will not suit anyone of a sensitive disposition but if you enjoy a solid , psychological horror film , you should give it a try . finally , as many other reviewers have said , make sure you watch it all the way through to the climactic ending .\nit ' s unclear whether gearbox wanted to credit timegate for their hard work or in order to deflect criticism over the game ' s shoddy release . that may sound uncharitable , but no similar credit was given to ben hibon for codehunters for the much more successful borderlands .\nwith last year ' s release of borderlands 2 , gearbox firmly cemented its place on top of the gaming world . the critically acclaimed sequel was better than the original in almost every way , offering up a more colorful , better written game full of diverse environments and enemies and even more guns .\njennifer : it was the brief really . the brief was bought to elliot that it should be a found footage film that involved a country church and there were a few more details beyond that . truth be told , we got to the edit and some of the notes from the executives were \u2018can you make it any less found footage ? \u2019 obviously trends change . over the course year and a half it takes to make a film , what was hot when you started isn\u2019t necessarily hot when you finish\nthe film does sadly turn into your average found footage affair as it reaches the movie\u2019s climax and they can only use their headcams , which is disappointing as all the build up to it is great and it never relied on cheap tricks to unease its audience . director elliot goldner chooses his angles wisely and he only resorts to the genres tropes every now and again to produce a couple of scares . you could never say that the borderlands is scary , but it can at times be very unnerving and you\u2019re never quite sure where the movie is heading .\nelliot goldner\u2019s debut as writer / director uses a lot of the familiar found - footage tropes , but where the borderlands succeeds is in understanding that handheld camerawork , \u201cwhat - was - that ? \u201d boo scares and panicked off - screen voices aren\u2019t an excuse to neglect the plot , dialogue or characters .\nconstructed as found footage ( or is it ? ) , this film recalls the likes of the blair witch project and , especially , the last exorcism . what makes this much better than the latter ( though not the former ) , is the relationship between the two lead characters and the strength of the performances , and an especially claustrophobic and genuinely unsettling final act that is up there with the likes of the descent for squirm inducing nastiness . really very good indeed ,\nwe didn ' t want to be considered a poor man ' s rage ,\nsaid gearbox chief creative officer brian martel at gdc 2010 in his talk borderlands & the 11th hour art style change ( don ' t try this at home . )\nmuch of its content may be common to the genre but the borderlands does boast occasional moments of originality , including a lovecraftian conclusion that will be unbearable for those troubled by the claustrophobic caves found in the descent . the movie is built on a solid story and entertaining characters so when a dark tunnel is discovered beneath the church even a found - footage cynic may be tempted to explore below .\nthe premise is a familiar one , but the borderlands\u2019 setting and tone is refreshingly different . for one thing , the gloomy , drizzly british town actually feels like a real british town ; father clerrick\u2019s congregation is dwindling out of existence , the pub\u2019s low - lit and unfriendly , and a gang of hooded youths hang around the local bus stop , drinking and muttering .\nit is also tempting to read the claustrophobic final chase sequence as a sly homage to the blair witch project , but that may be crediting the film - makers with too much knowing subtext . after all , what kind of idiot ventures into demonically possessed tunnels in the dead of night ? are they insane ? haven\u2019t they seen any horror movies ? damningly , even this chilling climax misses the target , never delivering the nerve - shredding adrenaline rush required by genre rules . neither as scary , as original or as funny as it needs to be , the borderlands is a cultish curiosity for indulgent hardcore fans only .\njennifer : i think so too , despite the fact it was in the original brief , there was a technical plus a financial reason to do it in that format . from a storytelling and creative reasoning , found footage makes sense in context of the story , in many ways is about judging the veracity of what you see and whether or not the image is truth . if you really want to get university cinematic film thesis on it , it\u2019s what the characters are doing : judging whether or not they can believe their eyes and that\u2019s a theme throughout the film\nvery slow , dull and boring . . . . . could have been a very good spooky film but instead it was just 2 men in some house that did nothing but talk talk talk . . . then a 3rd chap joined in and ( yes you guessed it ) . . . talk talk talk ! . . . . . lacked so much in excitement , i thought i ' d persevere and let the film run to the end ( even though i was nodding off ) then , low and behold . . . . it started to pick up . . . . . . . . . about 5mins . before the end of the film . definitely a no no from me and then let ' s not forget the\nshaky camera job\nand torches blinding your eyes while you try to watch the film . . . . . . very disappointing . . . . . save your money ! ! ! ! !\nthe recent glut of found - footage horror has made it easy to be snobby about the sub - genre , but there\u2019s never been anything inherently wrong with it , as independent british horror the borderlands proves . by combining the wobbly - cam technique with a strong script and excellent central performances , this is a chilling reminder of how good found footage can be .\nthe end of the world is just the beginning in geoff murphy\u2019s the quiet earth from 1985 . urltoken 1 week ago\nat ut , he serves on the advisory council of the native american and indigenous studies program . he also serves on the editorial board of cinema journal , the official journal of the society for cinema and media studies . tahmahkera consults on film projects , curates indigenous film series , and writes curriculum guides ( e . g . , ladonna harris : indian 101 ) for vision maker media and pbs . he also has delivered invited talks , such as the 2017 annual shaw lecture in american studies at dickinson college , and recently completed a three - year term on the community advisory board of klru , the austin - based affiliate of pbs .\ngordon : what\u2019s quite positive is that everyone starts by saying \u2018i know this is another found footage but\u2026\u2019 and i think the style is becoming its own separate genre . i think for people to complain about that now is redundant . it\u2019s a style of film like you might make a black and white or in a documentary format , found footage is just another style / genre or whatever you want to call it . there is a real reluctance to like that style at the moment because there have been a few poor ones since paranormal activity . so the reviewers are saying this is found footage but it\u2019s ok don\u2019t worry ! as with any film : the beginning , middle and the end of it depend on you being interested enough in the characters that you won\u2019t get bored no matter what the journey is . in this film , most people genuinely care . it wouldn\u2019t matter if you made it in swahili , it\u2019s been interesting that there\u2019s been a knock back on found footage . cloverfield has been and gone , that was the action found footage film which worked .\nthe above video isn ' t a trailer for borderlands , but no one would hold it against you if you thought it was . after all , the art style is remarkably similar - - - disconcertingly similar , one might say - - - and even the silent plot appears to share some similar elements with gearbox ' s first - person shooter .\nto be absolutely clear ,\nhibon told gather your party ,\ni have never created or designed anything for gearbox or borderlands . gearbox saw my work and decided to reproduce it \u2013 make it their own \u2013 without my help or my consent .\nwhatever happened behind the scenes during the development of aliens : colonial marines or during the transition from a\npoor man ' s rage\nin the 11th hour borderlands art - style overhaul to a rich man ' s codehunters , gearbox has set itself up both as an accomplished and obviously talented developer , and as a studio apparently willing to push the boundaries of acceptable ethical use of other peoples ' creative property .\ni thought the ending had something to do with\nthe belly of the beast\nquote / verse from the bible .\ngoldner\u2019s own faked recordings are full of half truths half - glimpsed , which will amply repay a rewatch without ever giving away the whole magic trick . much of the film\u2019s insidious impact derives from his studied refusal to connect all the dots , so that by the end we , no less than the priests , become lost in the circling labyrinth , or trapped in the holes , of this worm - that - turns story .\nso the borderlands isn ' t going to change too many people ' s minds but it is going to satisfy those of us already fans of the format . while not being a particularly revolutionary attempt , what it lacks in originality it earns back points in chills , characters , a good set - up and a hugely tense finale .\nbeyond that , jay - z has long been known to blend musical styles and also has a proven track record of using films as inspiration for compelling creativity . his album american gangster ( brought on by the 2008 film of the same name ) may have eclipsed its cinematic predecessor in relevancy , even if you agreed with jay\u2019s high regard for the film\u2019s quality ( i do ) . knowing what can happen when jay gets energized adds a whole new level of possibility to the picture , especially when you think of pairing him with a director known for producing impeccable soundtracks .\nmeanwhile deacon\u2019s attempts to debunk a video as fraudulent also serves to deconstruct the naturalistic fictions of the very found footage we\u2019re watching . deacon\u2019s arguments with grey and mark introduce a dialectic of faith and fakery that is key to our reception of the borderlands itself , as scientific rationalism must compete with both manipulative chicanery and the ineffably , monstrously divine \u2013 and superstitions , once dismissed , have a habit of biting back .\nthe borderlands succeeds in giving logical reasoning as to why there are cameras on all the time as both the house and the church are rigged big brother style and all the team members wear headcams to record first person perspectives . you could argue the case of \u2018who has edited this together\u2019 , but in a medium that has produced lazily put together farces , it\u2019s commendable that they at least tried and succeeded . the camera set - up creates a very tense atmosphere and are much more preferable to the headcams which produce the annoying shaky shots we\u2019ve become accustom to with this genre .\ntim bowman here from west texas a & m university . the following is a \u201ccall for book reviews\u201d that i write in my capacity as book review editor for the west texas historical review . our journal is published annually , so any completed reviews of the following titles will be published in next year\u2019s edition of the journal . scholars of the u . s . west , texas , native americans and the u . s . - mexico borderlands should find some of these appealing .\nthis is a creepy feature that chills your spine solid but the characters are what stick in the mind . deacon is likable but sympathetic , with an interesting back story and thankful moral fibre . gray is blunt in how he speaks occasionally but a real stand - up guy that might remind a few viewers of one of their own mates whilst the avid religious member of the group , priest mark ( aidan mcardle ) is reliably no nonsense and surprisingly cynical . the dialogue veers from hilarious to actually quite serious and goldner\u2019s grasp of the proceedings is pretty impressive . perhaps some will be left irritated by the film\u2019s lack of answers but more will be left intrigued by what goldner does next and if we might ever see a return to the world of the borderlands , which would be welcome on this evidence .\njennifer : it\u2019s worth noting too , that for a short time the film was actually called \u2018the devil lies beneath\u2019 which was a bit more of a commercial title , maybe a bit more on the nose but ultimately we went for the more artistic version which was great . we\u2019re always happy to go with something subtler and not quite so in your face .\nit really is . a lot of that is the sound design . martin pavey , who is ben wheatley\u2019s sound designer , did it all , he\u2019s an incredible artist . he added a lot of life to the church , with creaking rafters , and wind , adding things to make it a proper character in the film .\n\u201cthe housemaid\u201d is an elegantly eerie thriller with the grand gothic style of \u201cdark shadows\u201d before barnabas collins became the star of the show .\nmore importantly , those who saw the film were less than ecstatic . it\u2019s metascore ( via metacritic . com ) comes in at 43 , implying mixed reviews ( but only three points away from being \u201cgenerally unfavorable\u201d ) . the great gatsby \u2019s tomatometer is a woeful 34 percent , and none of the \u201ctop critics\u201d give it a positive review .\nthe beginning of this film is a little bit meandering , but after about twenty minutes the plot starts to move forward at a speedy pace , and it ' s not particularly unique , but it ' s executed very well . and it also has one of the scariest third acts in the found footage genre . the only people this will really appeal to are big fans of the found footage genre , but it ' s a worthwhile watch .\nfollowing the priest\u2019s death , deacon and gray find themselves ostracized by townspeople at the local pub . mark terminates the investigation with the vatican\u2019s approval .\nit ' s always satisfying when a new found footage film is a critical success considering all the shite thrown at the sub - genre ( it really is no worse than , i dunno , let ' s say the ' action ' genre ) , but it ' s still finding its feet i guess . these things take time to bed in sometimes .\nthe inhabitants of the village start to behave with hostility towards the team . the local pub landlord evicts deacon and gray from his premises after overhearing the two men discussing local folklore and the credibility of the tenets of old pagan religions versus those of christianity .\nit really is . the film wouldn\u2019t be what it is without the chemistry that exists between those two . there are a lot of scenes that are straight improv from the two of them . when they\u2019re looking at the map and picking out the different places , gordon , who is a comedian , and has written comedy , is actually being forced to play the straight man by rob , who won\u2019t let him be serious for a minute . they\u2019re a real treat ."]}

winning film , has been connecting with people just like that . at its core , connections are a cave man and a self - directed , collegiate young woman of today . the film is mesmerizing , a thoughtful beauty and the beast , sci - fi , comedy of manners , political and social satire , that sticks with viewers young and old . never totally serious , the return of the neanderthal man has a raucous and riotous cast of characters including : precocious female college students , straight forward maintenance workers , patriot chiefs , two questionable professors , crazy doctors , hired guns , anthropologists , tabloid personnel , sensational tv , and the gamut of spoofs on satire , social criticism , silent movies , experimental film , the surreal and the absurd ! in truth , viewers have a good time , they laugh , they are entertained , maybe a little bit overwhelmed by the multi level story telling and various genres and styles .\nspeaking at one of two simultaneous press conferences on the project ' s results , head scientist svante paabo said the two teams had sequenced more than three billion sections , or 60 percent , of neanderthal dna .\nthen in 1991 a well - preserved body was disgorged by a glacier in the tyrol . \u00f6tzi , as he was named , was 5 , 300 years old and p\u00e4\u00e4bo honed his technique on this serendipitous find . \u00f6tzi ' s dna was similar to that of any modern southern european , except that he lacked the mutation that allows adults to digest milk , a gene known to have spread rapidly in the past 5 , 000 years . p\u00e4\u00e4bo was working in germany at the time , and his thoughts turned to neanderthal man , a german icon . the first neanderthal dna sequences were published in 1997 , but it took another 13 years of painstaking work before the landmark , full neanderthal genome , based on three individuals , was published in a mammoth 174 - page section of science in may 2010 .\nneander - jin : the return of the neanderthal man is a desperately unfunny comedy whose premise and execution are as ungainly as its title . directed by debuting german filmmaker florian steinbiss , who really shouldn\u2019t quit his day job , this amateurish effort has garnered some awards at obscure film festivals . but much like its titular inspiration , it\u2019s bound to go extinct after its limited theatrical release .\nusing the chimpanzee and human mitochondrial dna sequences ( mtdnas ) as reference points \u2026 the divergence date between human and neanderthal mtdnas is at 660 , 000 ( plus or minus ) 140 , 000 years ,\nthe statement said .\nruth notices changes between the man she fell in love with and the current professor . and , no wonder ! the professor has run out of test subjects other than a small cat which he injects with an experimental fluid . we can now guess where the tiger has come from .\nall three books are stories of scientific triumphs , but they\u2019re presented more like memoirs . at their best , memoirs are sustained drilling expeditions , in which writers mine their experiences to gain a deeper understanding of themselves . for all sorts of reasons , scientists are often unwilling to dig so far . \u201cneanderthal man\u201d is a case in point .\nin the first bar scene when the hunter pours beer from the bottle to the glass , the beer is totally flat , no foam appears in the glass .\nthe first cinematic outing by pauly shore is a half decent comedy . though fun , and comical at times , encino man is not a great film . i see it as an a borderline effort in the genre , and one that can actually be quite forgotten . encino man gave us the taste of pauly shore , and what was to come with one good comedy and three other bad , repetitive comedy . in encino man , pauly shore plays a surfer type dude who he duplicated in the many films that followed . the plot is simple , two friends find a caveman in their backyard and use him to gain popularity . encino man is a fun film , but it ' s nothing knee slapping hilarious . whats funny to me though is how pauly shore has faded into darkness and how brendan frasier , sean astin and robin tunney managed to all have pretty good careers . encino man is a average film with a few laughs throughout , but also you have to keep your expectations low . nothing really good happens . the films plot is simple , even by comedy standards and the acting of course isn ' t great . along with son in law , encino man manages to be one of the few pauly shore films thats watchable . but the film is really a one trick poney with shore acting like the weasel . oh well , at least he made two decent films before being overly repetitive . encino man is a comic film with a few decent gags , but it ' s nothing to write home about .\nneanderthal bones have been discovered down the years at 300 places in europe and asia . the species was named after a valley , the neandertal , which lies in western germany near the city of dusseldorf , where the first officially recognized bones were found by men digging in a quarry in 1856 .\nthe conference in bonn couldn ' t answer this specific question , but was organized to help find the answers to questions such as these and provide a forum for scientists to discuss neanderthal technology , anatomy and environment .\nwhen\ncharlie\nawakens in the vivarium , he goes about life in general until he\ncatches\nthe water filter hose in the stream / pond . but as the scene continues , there is no way that he wouldn ' t notice the man - made construction of the glass enclosure or the fact that he cannot see the whole sky . only when he roams hysterically around the vivarium does it become apparent .\nthe tourville - la - rivi\u00e8re site thus allows the confirmation of the remarkable capacity of neanderthal man to adapt to different situations from which he benefitted . in this sense , this context is a good illustration of complementary subsistence activities practised by these men about 200 000 years ago . future analyses , practised on the remains , as much on fauna ( palaeontological and archaeo - zoological ) as on the flint - knapping industry ( technicological and edge wear tests ) , will tend to confirm or weaken the present vision of the site .\nhis depiction of neanderthal man and homo sapiens reflects , to an extent , the archaeological evidence . his neanderthals have no artefacts or containers , whereas the new people have necklaces , paintings , wine - skins and clay pots . inventing containers ( bags , baskets ) was an important evolutionary step as it allowed hunter - gatherers to bring back and store foodstuffs . fa , the brightest neanderthal , almost hits on the idea of containers when , watching the old woman cook broth in a deer ' s stomach and dip a stick in it to get it to mal ' s mouth , she has an image of seashells full of water .\nthe song wild child is performed by brent bourgeois . the movie version of the song cannot be found anywhere online . the only know version of this song is found on youtube . this version of the song can be found on youtube by searching : wild child -

puzzle work , on the other hand , wins his sustained attention . you can practically hear the 20 - year - old lab notebooks creak open as paabo works his way systematically through his experiments . the narrative occasionally slows down when paabo gets deep in the weeds about a scientific journal reviewing one of his papers , or the political intricacies of obtaining a chunk of a fossil from another country . for the most part , though , \u201cneanderthal man\u201d is a revealing history of a new scientific field .\ninitially , however , this theory was unpopular . von k\u00f6nigswald said amateur naturalist johann carl fuhlrott , who was the first to pronounce the neanderthal ' s bones as human , was disbelieved by many , as this notion contradicted literal interpretations of the bible .\nwith his big cat dead , the professor does what any sane man would do . he injects the serum into his own body . within minutes he has grown lots of hair and bad teeth . he runs out into the woods and attacks nola who is posing for photos with her boyfriend . the boyfriend dies in the scuffle .\nin this euro - screwball comedy , which plays with multiple genres and narrative styles , florian steinbiss tells the story of a neanderthal man who mysteriously rematerializes in modern day germany and seeks sanctuary in the garden of barbara van schmerling , a 23 - year - old student of environmental planning . to save and protect this \u2018last living evidence of former humanity and naturalness\u00b4 from exploitation by a p . t . barnum wannabe and a power - crazed media savvy anthropologist , barbara takes him under her wing . failing to protect him from the corrupting influences of western civilization , her altruistic feelings turn romantic , threatening either to compromise her ethics , or lose the only person - or primitive - she ever truly loved . meanwhile , the neanderthal man must choose between barbara , the only person who loves him for what he really is , and the siren call of fame , suitcases of money , and easy access to gummy bears .\na face divided into three parts with different skin colors . with this poster , the neanderthal museum draws the visitor into its current special exhibition on migration . the show highlights some interesting information . did you know that lighter skin types only developed around 4 , 500 years ago ?\nthe exhibition tries to build a bridge between the ice age and the contemporary era . how does the show try to realize this ? a great part of the exhibition deals with the milestones of prehistorical migratory events . early man emigrated from africa some 100 , 000 years ago . roughly 7 , 500 years ago , farmers and cattle breeders from the middle east migrated to europe . in the early metal age , horse breeders and merchants from the steppes of western asian migrated to central europe .\npast studies had concentrated only on mitochondrial dna , a type where no intermixing was found .\nit was another surprise that even the chinese carry neanderthal genes , although neanderthals never lived in china ,\nsaid schmitz .\n- style dissolve briefly turns shayne into a believably feral creature until he\u2019s fully revealed to resemble the unholy union of a bullfrog and an ape ( with a perm to boot ) . with this hilariously static apparatus applied to his face , shayne does his best to terrorize the surrounding area , and his victims do a good job not to laugh him off of the set . further diluting the horror are the expected 50s restraints : there\u2019s very little on -

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

tropez nightclub , where the film is set , to watch the transvestite shows staged by homosexual performers . the audience on camera represents by interior duplication the general public for sophisticated french comedies about homosexuality , and more specifically if less deliberately , the usual u . s . public for subtitled foreign films . in both cases , there seems to be a discrepancy of ideals and values between the performer and the spectator : between the homosexual transvestite and the heterosexual couple , between the film la cage aux folles and the public who appreciates it .\noriginally a french play by jean poiret ( who also starred ) , la cage aux folles premiered in 1973 , and would result in a french -

star chris march ! chris joins us , along with director and choreographer john de los santos , to discuss the production .\nla cage aux folles delivers an absolutely clear message : renato ' s instincts are heterosexual . each time he encounters simone , he desires her , attracts her easily and strongly , and immediately acts on his passion . if renato lives with albin as a homosexual , we must therefore believe that it is only because he has not had ready access to the\nright\nwoman . this determination to undermine renato ' s chosen erotic identity may well explain the total absence of ( homo ) sexuality that gay critics have consistently noted in la cage aux folles and its sequel ( see , for example , jack babuscio , gay news 212 ) . renato ' s son laurent , representative of the next generation , chooses heterosexuality openly . renato and albin specifically sacrifice their homosexual life style to laurent ' s happiness so that the film may end with a wedding , the celebration par excellence of the institution of heterosexuality .\nla cage aux folles\nare\nbirds of a feather ,\nwhich are precisely and hilariously what do not flock together in this wonderful comedy from france . it ' s about the gay owner of a scandalous nightclub in st . tropez , his transvestite lover , and how the owner reacts after his son returns home one day and announces he ' s going to marry . . . a girl !\napparently straight critics are no better positioned to raise questions in the name of gays . not surprisingly , the village voice ( tom allen , 14 may , 1979 , p . 50 ) pans la cage aux folles as an unfit vehicle for a gay statement , but only in passing . the nation ' s robert hatch ( 1may , l979 , p . 581 ) continues to defend the film as \u201cwholesome\neven as he recognizes that those directly implicated may not be in a position to concur :\nanother strong point of the production is how it involves the audience - when the plot shifts to the cabaret scenes the fourth wall is broken and the audience is pulled into the story , as guests of le cage aux folles . the is especially true for a scene where partridge ad libs with the crowd for an entire scene .\nthere\u2019s a telling moment of incidental cruelty early in la cage aux folles , the iconic 1983 musical adaptation of the 1973 play , which plays like a light joke . it features hannah , a widely feared , whip -

political temper of the times \u2014 seemed to go to great lengths to present its leading men as not actually a ( sexual ) couple . the first revival , for offstage reasons , seemed to feature leading men who actively hated each other . here , finally , we have a realistic and believable pair who have been devotedly living with each other for a quarter century . and that makes \u201cla cage\u201d more emotionally effective than before .\nla cage aux fouies directed by edouard molinaro ; screenplay ( french with english subtitles ) and adaptation by francis veber , mr . molinaro , marcello danon and jean poiret , based on the play by mr . poiret ; edited by robert and monique isnardon ; director of photography , armando mannuul ; music by ennlo morricone ; produced by marcello denon ; released by united artists . at the 68th street playhouse , at third avenue . running time : 91 minutes . thisfilm israted r .\ninexact title . see the list below . we don ' t have an article named film / lacageauxfolles , exactly . we do have :\nit was also nominated for a golden globe for best foreign film , although it lost out to bosnian movie no man ' s land .\nserrault , who created the role of albin on stage , is less prominent than georges in the film \u2014 but then , he doesn ' t have the song about putting on his mascara and that stirring first act anthem of self - worth . tognazzi , for me , is the one who makes\nla cage\nso droll . major assists come from serrault , claire maurier as simone , benny luke as jacob and michel galabru as the detestable father of the bride .\nthe moving , stunning score of la cage includes song on the sand , the best of times , and of course the gay anthem i am what i am . as well as being a favourite of theatre audiences , that has since been covered by the stars like shirley bassey , tony bennett and \u2013 as a disco version \u2013 gloria gaynor .\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\namelie , which is directed by jean - pierre jeunet , who made alien resurrection and delicatessen , and was france ' s top grossing film last year .\nthe reveal : the film ' s first scene plays up the handsome young man as armand ' s secret lover when he ' s actually his son .\namong the special features on this new digital restoration is archival footage of the serrault and poiret act long before\nla cage\nand an interesting interview with director molinaro . in the latter , he mentions he was so certain that the film was a surefire disaster that he ordered his friends not to see it . he also discusses how difficult a time he had with tognazzi , who apparently hated the material and refused to speak his lines in french . this did not prevent the pair from reuniting for the 1980 sequel , though .\nin poiret ' s play , everyone , including georges ( renato ) and laurent , puts on female clothes , but molinaro keeps his ideological message pure : only those who are ridiculed and ridiculous are women or , one is tempted to deduce , only women are ridiculous . thus , la cage aux folles ii contains a parallel episode . the sequel announces a potentially promising switch when the secret agents protecting albin are forced into disguise . but although the agents dress as gays and attempt to imitate the effeminate behavior that molinaro apparently equates with all homosexuality , they do not dress as women . moreover , the single scene in which they attempt their masquerade \u2013 poorly \u2014 ends in a fistfight . a scene that seems about to challenge traditional assumptions once again ends in a reinforcement of convention .\nin a time when homosexuality had yet to become the basis of a big broadway musical , la cage proved to be a huge success , winning the tony award for best musical , and racking up 1 , 761 performances . over the course of the run , other actors to play either albin or georges included larry kert , jamie ross , walter charles , and keith michell . a 1996 non - musical film version of the same story called the birdcage starred robin williams , gene hackman , dianne wiest , calista flockhart , and nathan lane .\nyet underneath all the raucous laughter stands a very serious truth . the fierce graciousness with which serrault and tognazzi go through their paces is not only funny but deeply touching . for while some spectators may have come to laugh at the likes of albin and renato , they soon find themselves laughing with and feeling for them . the reason is simple . albin is laurent\u2019s mother in every way save for his gender . consequently , the plot\u2019s climactic revelation of who he / she really is weds farce logic to strongly felt moral conviction . and that , in a nutshell , is why , after all these years and all these incarnations , la cage aux folles is more \u201cof the moment\u201d than ever . once an idle pipe dream , gay marriage is on the fast track to becoming a reality world\u00adwide . who knew a french farce would lead the way ?\nthe movie was remade into hit film the birdcage in 1996 , starring robin williams and nathan lane , taking more than $ 124m ( \u00a386 . 7m ) in the us alone .\nbought this for my sister who could not attend a showing of the film at our french cinema club , it ' s very funny , although looks dated now - a classic comedy .\nthe film is based on a long - running play in paris , and it ' s a hit all over europe , but it was thought to be a slightly hard sell in this country , because . . . well , some people might reasonably expect to be turned off by the subject matter . now that\nla cage\nhas set box office records in new york , however , we provincials are being allowed to see it , and i ' d predict that , if it catches on , it ' ll run for as long here as\ncousin cousine\ndid . it ' s funnier .\nmolinaro ' s last major film was the ambitious 1996 biopic beaumarchais , l ' insolent , adapted from an unfinished play by sacha guitry and starring fabrice luchini as the flamboyant adventurer and author .\nla cage tells the story of georges and albin ( played by daniel davis and gary beach ) , who are told by their son jean - michel ( played by gavin creel ) that he is marrying anne ( angela gaylor ) , the daughter of a morals crusader . what anne and her parents don ' t know is that the new in - laws are not only gay but run a notorious drag cabaret \u2014 with albin as the marquee star , zaza .\na classic . . . what more can i say ? . . . . . if you have never seen this film you really should . a time capsule of those times and hilarious performances . . .\n\u201cla cage\u201d is the jerry herman - harvey fierstein musical in which one of the stars memorably confesses that when the going gets tough he simply puts on a little more mascara . director terry johnson succeeds so well here by putting on both more and less mascara simultaneously . more mascara by letting douglas hodge , in the guise of the flamboyant drag - queen albin ( aka zaza ) , play the role like , well , more of a flamboyant drag - queen than in prior major productions . less mascara in that this is a stripped - down , mid - budget production ; all those sequins and all that glitz that characterized broadway\u2019s prior visits to st . tropez have been toned down , allowing the audience to concentrate more on the tender and relatively simple story at the heart of the piece . ( but not simplistic ; \u201cla cage\u201d is a masterpiece of dramaturgy compared to the similarly plotted musical they made out of \u201cthe addams family . \u201d )\ntony award - winning actor and playwright harvey fierstein re - creates his role as the unsinkable arnold beckoff in this film adaptation of the smash broadway play torch song trilogy . a very . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthis film - maker , who had a rich and varied career , directed the greatest actors of french cinema while winning over the public , and winning the admiration of his peers , at the same time .\nin 1981 he won the award for best actor at the cannes international film festival for his role in bernardo bertolucci ' s\ntragedia di un uomo ridicolo\n(\nthe tragedy of a ridiculous man\n) .\nthe theatre and film impresario \u2014 who is part of the current revival ' s producing team \u2014 told variety ' s army archerd that he plans to bring the jerry herman - harvey fierstein tuner to the big screen .\nseen the english version but i still think that this french version is the best . . . michel serrault is such a good actor . the dvd is fine even if it is a old film . very good . . .\nin 1950 he made his first film ,\ni caddetti di guascogna\n(\nthe cadets of guascogna\n) . he followed that performance with a series of films that made him a popular character actor . a success in satire\nmolinaro ' s first feature length film , le dos au mur ( back to the wall ) , a blackmail comedy drama starring jeanne moreau , was critically acclaimed in 1958 but he began making his mark the following year with the taut thriller un t\u00e9moin dans la ville ( witness in the city ) . featuring lino ventura as the killer who must track down the paris taxi driver who saw him exiting a murder scene , un t\u00e9moin dans la ville featured a jazz score by the tenor saxophonist barney wilen and drummer kenny clarke , a year after both contributed to the seminal soundtrack miles davis improvised for louis malle ' s lift to the scaffold , and is less noir and elliptical than its antecedent but just as atmospheric in its use of paris locations and its depiction of the taxi driver ' s milieu .\nthe birdcage grossed nearly $ 200 million worldwide in 1996 , and that is significant . box office mojo says it ' s the highest grossing queer film of all time , though they ' re not counting frozen and 300 , and they probably should .\ndavid ehrenstein has been writing about film and gay politics since 1965 , for a wide variety of publications . his books include the scorsese picture : the art and life of martin scorsese , open secret : gay hollywood 1928\u20132000 , and masters of cinema : roman polanski .\nwhen asked to explain what kind of show ' ' the lord of the rings ' ' is , patrons often confuse the title with that of the novel and film , ' ' the lord of the flies , ' ' said the shubert ' s executive director , judith lisi .\nafter his success in\nil federale\nand dino risi ' s\nmarcia su roma\n(\nthe march on rome\n) , mr . tognazzi met marco ferreri , the director who gave him some of his greatest roles . together they made films that included\nuna storia moderna : l ' ape regina\n(\nthe conjugal bed\n) in 1963 ,\nla donna scimmia\n(\nthe ape woman\n) in 1964 ,\nmarcia nuziale\n(\nwedding march\n) in 1966 ,\nl ' udienza\n(\nthe audience\n) in 1971 and\nla grande bouffe\nin 1973 .\nif the project comes to fruition , it would mark the first time the stage musical has been adapted for the screen \u2014 though a trilogy of french films and the 1996 american film\nthe birdcage\nstarring nathan lane and robin williams are based on the same source material , jean poiret ' s play .\nthe purveyors of the musical did exceptionally well , of course , and need have no regrets . but in my view ,\nla cage ,\nbe it on screen or stage , is georges ' story : how does he support laurent ' s engagement without demeaning his long - time partner albin , who has served as the boy ' s de facto mother ? albin is very much indispensable to the plot , as the elephant in the closet ( if you will ) ; but this story is about georges , and in the musical he gets shunted aside by all those wigs and sequins \u2014 which was precisely what the vast majority of the musical comedy audience wanted in 1983 , it turns out .\nmuch as i love both gene hackman and robin williams - the remake of this wonderful film ( the birdcage ) lost so much in comparison . this , the original , has to be one of the funniest ( if not the funniest ) films i have ever seen . for best results set it up in french with subtitles and it is a tribute to the film itself that after a while these just blend in to the whole wonderful package . from the first few minutes with zaza ' a major strop , through to the bitchiness in the final church scene , the whole film is a pure hystrical delight . the plot is well written and acted and as well as the two leads , there are wonderful supporting parts , notably from benny luke as the house boy jacob . michel serrault is simply wonderful as zaza and camps things up perfectly - there is humour throughout , but pathos as well . watch for the champagne cork popping scene - probably the funniest piece of cinema ever - and the wonderful timing with the serving of the soup when the stuffy future in - laws come for dinner . if you want a film to take you out of yourself and probably be reduced to eye - watering laughter , this is worth a look at a very reasonable price .\nwhen alan carr ( the producer of grease , not the bespectacled comedian ) watched the film , he saw the basis for a ground - breaking new musical . he assembled a creative team including director arthur laurents ( whose work includes alfred hitchcock\u2019s rope and the barbra streisand - robert redford movie the way we were ) .\n, but this original is far funnier . although perhaps a little dated and stereotypical in its depiction of gay life there is real sympathy for , and affection conveyed between , renato and albin . the scenes with the charrier family , who , it turns out , have problems of their own , cut an utterly gloomy bourgeois contrast with the screaming flamboyance of the nightclub scenes . the charrier ' s unscrupulous chauffeur is one of the film ' s many treasures , his final\ncombien ?\nprovoking the film ' s crowning guffaw . all this iced with a delicious soundtrack from ennio morricone which wafts with the nostalgic scent of late - 1970s south of france .\nmeanwhile , armand gives albert the obligatory lessons in he - manly behavior . and albert , who minces extravagantly , is even taught how to walk like john wayne . ( where the french film accepted the wayne stride as a masculine ideal , this new version finds it interestingly peculiar . ) mr . nichols puts his film through these paces with dependable comic agility , and rises to the requisite frantic pitch when the two families meet for dinner . regrettably , armand and albert ' s wildly campy houseboy ( hank azaria ) has set out the pornographic china .\nwhy , it looks like young men playing leapfrog !\nsweetly exclaims mrs . keeley .\nis it greek ?\npoiret ' s play allows jacob a number of lines in which he openly mocks his\nmasters\nfor their racism . in the transposition to the screen , molinaro abandons the exorcism effected by these explicit accusations , so that the filmed stereotype functions in silence , thus reinforcing conventional attitudes . i would not for a moment claim that molinaro ' s intentions are overtly racist or overtly sexist , but the change in jacob from stage to screen may help us to grasp the hidden assumptions of the film . molinaro ' s failure to avoid suspect signs of prejudice \u2014 a black servant in a white household , for example \u2014 indicates a low level of consciousness , an almost total lack of awareness of the existence of a social problem . such blindness or blissful ignorance can explain molinaro ' s using hostility to women as the very substructure of his film . this substructure is unexamined , unexplained , and still so\nnatural\nas to be invisible , no doubt , for molinaro himself and , unfortunately , for much of his film ' s audience .\nthe french film , based on the stage play by jean poiret , obviously didn ' t have that . but to an astonishing degree ,\nthe birdcage\namounts to a line - by - line copy , though ms . may often takes the original punch line and adds significantly more punch . for instance , when the story ' s transvestite character has a tantrum and refuses to perform at the drag nightclub of the title , he ' s told in the french film that there ' s a large crowd waiting for him to go on . new version , set in south beach in miami instead of st . tropez :\nthere ' s 150 people out there , half of them are kennedys , and they ' re all waiting for you !\na lifer in the french film industry , director edouard molinaro brings little flash to the proceedings , mostly getting out of the way and letting that material\u2014reshaped for the screen in large part by francis veber , who was about to start directing his own hit farces\u2014do the work for him . and while the film never finds much of a rhythm , it largely does work , thanks in large part to the melancholy undertones serrault brings to albin . in one scene , renato tries to instruct him on how to butter toast in a more masculine fashion . later , albin wears a conservative suit and tries to look at ease . in both , he appears like a man at war with himself , pressured to pretend to be something he isn\u2019t , at the cost of his own happiness .\nif you meant one of those , just click and go . if you want to start a film / lacageauxfolles page , just click the edit button above . be careful , though , the only things that go in the main namespace are tropes and should be created through the ykttw system . don ' t put in redirects for shows , books , etc . . use the right namespace for those .\nmaclean ' s o ' toole compares renato ' s and albin ' s disguises to those \u201cwe all attempt\nout of insecurity , self - defense or concern for reputation . certainly molinaro ' s film adopts the perspective of its two central characters , both gay . but this point of view does not imply any acceptance of their situation as representative of the human condition nor even any belief in its resemblance to that of actual homosexuals .\nin the film , though , your attention \u2014 or at least my attention \u2014 is on georges . the long - suffering georges is the center of the story , juggling his partner albin , his son laurent , the outr\u00e9 housemaid jacob , laurent ' s birth - mother simone and the morally bombastic in - laws . that , it turns out , is what i ' ve always missed in the musical : georges in the spotlight .\naccording to molinaro , on a new interview included on the disc , that\u2019s an element absent from the play , and introduced for the film\u2014and then under protest . molinaro describes the conservative serrault\u2019s difficulty in playing \u201ca real homosexual . it didn\u2019t bother him to play a screaming transvestite queen performing a number onstage . in the play , it was almost like a clown act . but we asked him for greater reality and depth , and he wasn\u2019t very comfortable with that . \u201d however deep his discomfort , that element of humanity and tenderness makes the film more than a well - oiled farce filled with stereotypical characters . tognazzi never seems particularly engaged , but serrault works overtime , creating a sense of shared history and the possibility of tragedy , should the central couple\u2019s relationship fall apart . there\u2019s more at stake here than whether two men can fool the straight world for a couple of hours .\nhatch ' s statement would be more readily applicable to the jean poiret play on which the film is based and which indeed takes homosexuality as its central subject . consequently , the play includes an internal criticism of jacob ' s and albin ' s behavior in such accusations as that of georges , the renato character in the play :\nyou ' re practicing infantile homosexuality .\n( paris : presses pocket , 1979 , p . 79 ) .\nit ' s the story of renato ( ugo tognazzi ) and zaza ( michel serrault ) , who have been lovers for 20 years and who run the cage , renato as the manager and zaza , whose real name is albin , as the star of the show . though renato is supposed to be the masculine member of the couple , his wrist is only slightly less limp than zaza ' s . the difference between them is that zaza wears more makeup , cries more easily and complains about her lover ' s indifference .\nthe leading performances are very much of the style of the film itself \u2014 energetic , broad , much too knowing and superficial . mr . tognazzi is a fine actor , but here he looks as ridiculous as his role . mr . serrault , who won the french equivalent to our oscar for his performance , is all too convincing as the hammy , temperamental transvestite . he minces more grossly than ever did billy de wolfe , and he lunges at pathos like someone playing right guard for the rams .\none of\nthe most successful foreign films ever shown in the u . s .\n( the wall street journal ) , this\nwildly hilarious\n( independent film journal ) french farce is\ngiddy , unpretentious andan entirely lovable film\n( time ) ! when young laurent returns to exotic st . tropez , he bears big news for his beloved father , renato . laurent has found the girl of his dreams and they are engaged ! what ' s more , she and her family are on their way over for dinner at renato ' s home to meet the in - laws - to - be . this traditional meeting of families seems typical , but because this ultraconservative family will be expecting to meet renato and wife , they ' ll never be prepared for the shock of meeting renato and his flamboyant , campy , outrageous loverand dragqueenalbin ! so in agreat effort to please his son , renato asks albin for the performance of a lifetime ' setting up an unforgettable evening that is charged and ready to detonate an explosion of zaniness and absurdity .\nmike nichols , the egot - holding director notable for films like who\u2019s afraid of virginia woolf , the graduate , silkwood , and postcards from the edge , seemed like a natural fit for the project . with a screenplay written by his long - time comedy partner , elaine may , and a robust cast featuring robin williams , nathan lane , gene hackman , and dianne weist , the birdcage was a box - office smash when it was released in 1996 . it was faithful to the original film , only slightly americanizing the plot .\nthe use molinaro makes of charrier himself , who within his own milieu plays a fool ' s role comparable to that of albin , proves revealing . with their initial appearances on camera , molinaro begins to establish the parallel : we see both charrier and albin sneak the chocolates they are not allowed . already molinaro associates charrier with self - indulgent and weak willed women as well as with albin . and in the film ' s finale , charrier is forced to dress in drag to escape the photographers and reporters who lie in wait outside the club ."]}

lethal vengeance on danny\u2019s most prized possession . for his troubles , nick is paid $ 50 , 000 in hush money from danny\u2019s stash . as holly rides off into an avenged sunset , nick heads for the nearest blackjack table to attempt the final big score that will hasten his exit from sin city . the movie is about 40 minutes old .\nthat\u2019s been confirmed many times over the years of course . but thanks to the fact that in the film\u2019s final cut , all their scenes are composed of interspersed close up shots , a curious urban legend has persisted holding that the two never actually met on set . tonight however , during a special screening of heat \u2018s new 4k remaster at the samuel goldwyn theatre followed by an entertaining q & a with pacino , de niro , and mann themselves , once again the record was set straight about the duo\u2019s interactions in the classic film . make a note , skeptics , that a photo of them sitting together hung for years on the wall of kate mantilini in beverly hills where the scene was shot .\nwith \u201cwild card , \u201d screenwriter william goldman takes a third crack at the story of nick the \u201cvegas chaperone . \u201d goldman wrote the source novel and a 1986 film adaptation starring burt reynolds , both of which were called \u201cheat . \u201d had the 1986 version starred bruce willis instead of reynolds , \u201cwild card\u201d would be redundant : statham\u2019s take on nick evokes willis in his prime . he\u2019s as quick to cut a villain down with a quip as he is with a sharp object , and a gloomy raincloud of vulnerability seems to perpetually hang over his head .\nmoderated by intersteller and the dark knight trilogy director christopher nolan ( who himself made several nods to heat in the opening sequence of 2008\u2019s the dark knight ) , the discussion was joined later co -

person gimmick does eventually wear thin over the course of the film\u2019s runtime . putting aside these reservations , however , the film is most certainly worth a watch if just to witness montgomery\u2019s sheer audacity and inventiveness . it\u2019s the textbook example of a film being ahead of its time . \u2014 m . r .\nand los angeles , thus necessitating some creative uses of lighting . this commitment to realism would help perfect the film noir style we all know and love . \u2014\nwas a rarity in its heyday , though if you didn\u2019t know lupino held the reins , you might not guess the film was directed with a feminine touch .\nplays with noir tropes more than he plays to them , deflating film noir\u2019s inherent machismo by revealing the chief heavies of his cast as scrabbling cowards . depending on your mood ,\nprior to reinventing filmic language with their playful genre experiments , the members of france\u2019s new wave movement got their start as film critics . in fact , it was through their writings and discussions that the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d was first christened as a means of describing a certain breed of brooding postwar films . it\u2019s not surprising then that louis malle\u2014though not an official new wave member\u2014would settle on a film noir - influenced project as his first feature film . acting both as an homage to noir as well as a subversion of its structure , elevator to the gallows stars jeanne moreau and maurice ronet as a pair of criminals whose plan to kill moreau\u2019s husband quickly falls apart when the ronet character gets stuck in an elevator . this already absurd concept becomes all the more confounding when paired with the film\u2019s unorthodox , experimental editing and somber , miles davis - performed jazz score . \u2014 m . r .\nfrequently cited as an example of when film noir , to appropriate a tv idiom , \u201cjumped the shark , \u201d kiss me deadly long ago overcame its initial bad press to become one of the most beloved and influential examples of the subgenre and its ability to tell dark , controversial stories . in that regard , director robert aldrich\u2019s kiss me deadly wears its insanity like a badge . ralph meeker stars as a hard - boiled private eye who ends up bearing witness to the brutal torture and murder of a young hitchhiker ( cloris leachman in one her first film appearances ) . he decides to pursue her case , which results in the discovery of one of film\u2019s all -

( let\u2019s call it \u201cfilm noirror . \u201d ) for another , it\u2019s a masterwork , so fie upon labels . night of the hunter lurks in shadows and revels in misogyny . whether you\u2019ve seen it or not , you probably have the image of robert mitchum\u2019s tattooed knuckles imprinted upon your brain thanks to pop culture osmosis . reverend harry powell is quite the villain , a man as quick to distort the truth with honey - coated lies as laughton is to distort reality through oblique perspective , unnerving use of shadows and light , and a dizzying array of camera compositions that make small - town west virginia feel altogether otherworldly . \u2014 a . c .\n, which centers on two treasury agents who must go undercover to infiltrate a notorious counterfeiting ring . while not boasting any big - name actors or even a particularly novel story , the film is noted for its inventive cinematography , with mann and cinematographer john alton deciding to shoot several scenes on location in\nthe goldwyn theater might not be the best equipped to demonstrate the full beauty of a 4k presentation ( no shade intended \u2013 it was great but i had no basis to compare ) , but the new print looked fantastic , with eye popping detail that shines a bright light on the work of cinematographer spinotti . a particular stand out is how the new print makes clear some of the technical achievements mann and spinotti employed to make the city of los angeles itself as much a character as the actors moving inside it . \u201cl . a . is a weigh station on the way to somewhere else , \u201d said mann tonight about the way the city looks throughout heat . one way that was achieved was to combine then - new computer effects to heighten the city\u2019s iconic cityscape .\npark chan - wook\u2019s oldboy makes the smart choice most genre homages don\u2019t : the film relegates reference to the soundtrack titles , some of which crop up elsewhere on this very list . it takes more than a few hat tips to tourneur , hawks and ray to make a noir , but oldboy boasts the lion\u2019s share of noir\u2019s best trappings in its story of long - term revenge and dirty family secrets . the film is probably best revered for a single fight scene , one of only a handful to occur throughout its two - hour running time . admittedly , that hallway scrap is pretty glorious , but park boils his protagonist hard , and spoken from beneath star choi min - sik\u2019s grizzled mane , the film\u2019s dialogue crackles with beefy , unhinged ennui . years from now when the next big international neo - noir import arrives stateside , don\u2019t be surprised if you see oldboy \u2019s moniker on its ost . \u2014 a . c .\nwe\u2019ll start with the following 100 titles . some 70 years after the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d was first uttered , take a trip through the screwed -

class men who end up stumbling upon a crashed plane filled with millions of dollars in cash . seeing this as the answer to their financial woes , the men divvy up the money only to quickly find their close - knit group torn apart by greed and paranoia . while not ostensibly film noir in its construction , the story nevertheless touches upon classic noir themes\u2014namely , the corruptive power of greed and the folly of man in attempting to control life\u2019s chaos . whatever its designation , the film presents an absorbing , if unmistakably devastating , modern - day morality tale . \u2014\ncarl franklin\u2019s excellent early \u201990s neo - noir walks a razor - thin tightrope of suspense : you get the sense from one minute to the next that any step out of place could send the entire narrative into violent anarchy . franklin\u2019s film has great aspirations , delving into the complexities of modern american race relations just a few years after\n, flopped at the box office only to be revived later as a beloved cult classic . the film casts rufus swell as an amnesiac who wakes up one night to discover that his city is ( quite literally ) being manipulated by a band of mysteriously pale men in jet - black trench coats and fedoras . along for the ride is\nto brilliantly deconstruct traditional cinematic storytelling , toggling between chronological black - and - white vignettes and full - color five - minute segments that unfold in reverse order while shelby frantically searches for his wife\u2019s killer . the film is jarring , inventive and adventurous , and the payoff is every bit worth the mind - bending descent into madness . \u2014\nplays a wide - eyed actress newly arrived in hollywood who stumbles upon a beautiful young woman who can\u2019t remember who she is . that pithy logline only touches the tip of the iceberg , as the film delights in throwing numerous other subplots and mysteries at its audience only to violently pull the rug out from under them in its latter half .\na favorite of martin scorsese , force of evil centers on a lawyer who finds himself involved with an influential gangster looking to take over all smaller rackets in town . the problem ? one of those desirable rackets is run by the lawyer\u2019s older brother . like t - men , the film makes great use of shooting on location . moreover , at times , the film\u2019s familial themes and stylized writing help elevate the conflict to near shakespearean levels ( or biblical levels , considering how frequently it alludes to the story of cain and abel ) . though relatively small in scale , force of evil finds greatness in its aim to convey grandiose , large - scale ideas . \u2014 m . r .\n. ) kubrick\u2019s work here is no - frills and elegantly straightforward : sterling hayden plans one final holdup before retiring and settling down with coleen gray . no twists and turns , just good old - fashioned theft at the racetrack . the film revels in the gray morality of hayden\u2019s good intentions . crime pays , at least until it doesn\u2019t . \u2014\ndoes any psychopath in film noir\u2019s rogues gallery strike quite as much immediate , stomach - churning terror as tommy udo ? the man\u2019s got a leering , sunken visage only a mother could love , provided she keeps her eyes closed tightly and doesn\u2019t give him reason to shove her down the stairs . richard widmark\u2019s wolf grin might be the only thing about kiss of death that matters . bereft of him , of course , henry hathaway\u2019s film remains solid , but widmark\u2019s oscar - nominated performance makes the entire enterprise feel vital . he\u2019s a villain for the ages , perhaps robbed of his due by hathaway\u2019s need to architect a happy ending . such is life working with production codes . \u2014 a . c .\n: at first confused , then maybe a little angry , but then ultimately delighted by how fooled they\u2019d just been . perfectly paced , brilliantly scored by director bryan singer and editor / composer john ottman\u2014the film never lets the marks know they\u2019re being conned by the irresistible ensemble or christopher mcquarrie\u2019s dark , mischievous script . and then like that \u2026 it\u2019s gone\u2026 \u2014\nget carter director mike hodges\u2019s last great film was budding star clive owen\u2019s first . in fact , even now more than 15 years after its release , croupier may be the best thing owen has ever done , playing a struggling novelist who takes a job at a casino , looking for inspiration but finding mostly trouble . watch this film now to be reminded where the actor first prompted speculation that he\u2019d make a great james bond : his character jack manfred isn\u2019t a super - spy , but he\u2019s got the jet - black suaveness , lady - killing panache and dry wit we associate with 007 . croupier is a movie attracted to the sleazier side of life , and owen\u2019s antihero was the perfect tour guide . \u2014 tim grierson\nnow , if you\u2019ve been on imdb , watched the home video special edition or caught the stray interview with pacino , de niro , or mann , chances are you\u2019ve already heard most of what was discussed tonight . but who cares , because for the first time in two decades , the three shared a stage to talk about the beloved film , shed some light on how it was made , and laugh together about the experience . the packed theater \u2013 beforehand , bent around a nearby parking lot , there was a long line of people hoping to get in \u2013 laughed right along with them . when , that is , they weren\u2019t breaking out into spontaneous applause and more than one standing ovation for the film and its cast and crew .\nsince its coining in 1946 by french critic nino frank , who observed from afar something dark , quite literally , going on at the american cinema , the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d has been debated and debated and debated some more . is it a genre ? a subgenre ? a movement ? a trend ? a commentary ? a style ? for the purposes of this introduction , let\u2019s call it a response .\nunlike so many of its peers on this listing , edward dmytryk\u2019s obsession doesn\u2019t lean on violence in its plotting and scheming . but the film isn\u2019t gentle by any stretch . in fact , obsession is one of the more gruesome classic noirs , a slow - burning bit of nastiness that could give breaking bad a run for its money in the body disposal department . dmytryk rides on the strength of great work by robert newton , here playing a psychiatrist who determines to kill his wife\u2019s lover , an american diplomat played by phil brown . ( obviously , because everybody knows that all psychiatrists secretly harbor homicidal urges . ) newton\u2019s a creepy hoot , and dmytryk has such a good handle on his suspense that even the tonal dissonance of unwelcome comedy doesn\u2019t break the film\u2019s insidious spell . \u2014 a . c .\nmaybe falling in love with dead people is just an occupational hazard of being an investigative detective in new york city . then again , maybe a shotgun blast to the face couldn\u2019t keep anybody from developing a crush on gene tierney , which is pretty much how the plot of otto preminger\u2019s laura goes . the film tracks the trajectory of nypd detective mark mcpherson\u2019s growing obsession with the eponymous young lady as he cobbles together the bits and pieces of her life and death . poring over her diary and her letters , he comes to moon over her , and why not ? she\u2019s every bit as delightful as preminger\u2019s movie . laura doesn\u2019t waste time and stacks contrivance on top of unlikelihood , but such is the strength of preminger\u2019s craft and the performances of his cast that the film\u2019s convolution doesn\u2019t matter . \u2014 a . c .\nputs male toughness on trial and makes it look ridiculous , but the study of manliness might be a smokescreen for kurosawa\u2019s veiled jabs at the board of censors installed by the u . s . government in post - world war ii japan . note the western clothing . observe the recurring image of the bubbling muck that serves as one of the film\u2019s central locations . the american occupation whitewashes and corrupts japanese culture in equal measure , and\nand guy pearce to american audiences by giving them their first signature roles . this tabloid version of the city of angels celebrates all the sex , corruption and other seedy circumstances the superficial city can provide . it offers a string of unforgettable sequences , from bud white\u2019s yuletide raid to exley\u2019s interrogations to the final shootout where the film\u2019s utterly ellroy perspective on police morality is ( quite literally ) executed with masterful precision . at the time of its release ,\nsome noirs get their hooks into you within their first few minutes and don\u2019t let go even after the credits roll . angel face isn\u2019t one of those . it\u2019s a deliberate , considerate film , one that has a destination in mind and makes no bones about taking its time getting there . whether you ride with it is up to you , but come on : this is otto preminger\u2014lesser otto preminger , perhaps , certainly not one of his better celebrated films . even lesser preminger is worth your time , though , particularly when he\u2019s as laser - focused as he is here . angel face builds . it\u2019s a movie that constantly sets itself up and points toward its shocker of a climax . preminger\u2019s direction renders this story of crazy love , shared between robert mitchum and jean simmons , unpredictable if slow . don\u2019t let the apparent languidness get in your way . the unhurried pace adds to the film\u2019s grimmer pleasures . \u2014 andy crump\nlike double indemnity , michael curtiz\u2019 mildred pierce succeeds on the strength of its leading lady ; in this case that\u2019s the immortal joan crawford , who plays the film\u2019s central character , not to mention all of its heart and soul . ( arguably , it\u2019s the most definitive crawford performance of all time , at least next to what ever happened to baby jane ? . ) mildred pierce is a strong woman driven by an inexhaustible love for her children , veda ( ann blyth ) and kay ( jo ann marlowe ) , but she\u2019s also stymied by the restricting grasp of a patriarchal society . even veda is contemptuous of mildred for daring to have the moxie to have it all . the film is about more than prickly mother - daughter relationships , of course , specifically the murder of mildred\u2019s second husband . but sandwiched in between curtiz\u2019 probing whodunit lies one of noir\u2019s most sympathetic and purely humanist tales . \u2014 a . c .\nsocial consciousness , a recurring theme throughout noir\u2019s history , meets with the grisly side of mob politics in cy endfield\u2019s lesser - known yarn , ripped straight from the headlines . like the wrong man , the sound of fury purports to be based on actual events . how well the film plays that out depends on your knowledge of the case that inspired it . in endfield\u2019s hands , the story becomes a discomfiting exploration of american inclinations toward taking matters into one\u2019s own hands . unlike so many legit bad guys on this list , frank lovejoy\u2019s howard tyler does bad things for good reasons . he\u2019s a family man fallen on hard times . endfield makes the case for his guilt , but through the complex worldview of noir he\u2019s able to critique the lack of cultural empathy ( alongside socially irresponsible journalism ) that ushers him toward a downfall disproportionate to his crime . what the film lacks in stylishness , it makes up for in raw emotion . \u2014 a . c .\nas for the small number of scenes shared by the film\u2019s two stars , mann explained how the two playing off one another increased the subtlety of their performances . \u201cif bob is shifting his weight , \u201d mann said , \u201cal is doing something to counter , \u201d almost , he explained , as if afraid de niro might go for a gun . the diner scene in particular was also fairly raw , done at de niro\u2019s suggestion without any rehearsal before they set about filming it .\nas it was a change of pace for lupino , who , after directing four features that each revolved around the struggles and victimization of women , decided to try her hand with decidedly more masculine fare . decades later , her film is still generally considered the first noir directed by a woman , but it should really be thought of first as a slim , unsparing , suspenseful slice of true crime . she puts her foot on the gas and doesn\u2019t let up until the very end . \u2014\none of film noir\u2019s more under - loved minor works , tension showcases great work by audrey totter while fiddling with gender roles and postwar disenchantment . there are few saps as sappy as richard basehart\u2019s cuckolded warren quimby , and even in the realm of femme fatales , few are even half as downright mean as claire quimby ( phyllis dietrichson , lily carver and brigid o\u2019shaughnessy notwithstanding ) . forget the fact she habitually cheats on poor borin\u2019 warren : check the scene where he drives her to the house he scrimped and saved for , a gesture she can only respond to with contempt . totter is such a hoot you almost forget to feel bad for basehart , but even his gentle male ego can only endure so much abuse before he decides to remake himself in the image of claire\u2019s \u201ctype , \u201d all the better to get even with her and her lover . tension might not have the iconography of john berry\u2019s peers , but the film makes a worthy study of masculine american identity . \u2014 a . c .\nlast week\u2019s trip to berlin , i had never attended a major international film festival . ( new york doesn\u2019t count\u2014it\u2019s a self - described \u201cfestival of festivals , \u201d featuring many movies that have already premi\u00e8red . ) for good reason , these festivals are not part of my regular rounds : i usually write about movies that are available to many readers , because there\u2019s a tease built into festival reviews\u2014let me tell you about some wonderful movies that i\u2019ve seen and that you can\u2019t , or , at least , not yet .\n, a movie that hits with quick percussive impact and spares no time from one bout of action to the next . the film strikes a comparison between youthful and experienced viewpoints : james edwards\u2019 boxer on the rise is brimming with self - assurance , while david clarke\u2019s battle - scarred ring veteran speaks aloud to pugilists\u2019 inevitable decline . is robert ryan\u2019s last attempt at glory worth suffering for ? is it worth the mental trauma it inflicts on his wife ( audrey totter , showing off a different side of herself ahead of 1950\u2019s\nit\u2019s kind of a shame that the film feels compelled to interrupt this feeling with violence . there\u2019s less than you might be expecting , and i\u2019d be remiss if i didn\u2019t say those scenes are fun in the most gratuitously brutal ways ( one guy gets gruesomely slashed with a credit card ) . but you\u2019ve seen statham do all that before , and it clashes with the novel - like vibe goldman successfully creates . perhaps that\u2019s why movies give statham little to say : his gift of gab overshadows his penchant for mayhem .\nafter the tautly spirited dialectic of dickinson\u2019s creative days , the scenes of her illness have a terrifying emotional splendor . nixon plays dickinson\u2019s death like a childbirth scene in which the body is wrenched apart to yield up the soul , which then doesn\u2019t ascend to heaven but remains on earth to inhabit the world more fully after death than dickinson ever managed to do in life\u2014the wicked metaphysical irony of posthumous renown . davies does more than film dickinson\u2019s life ; he creates a world that is , above all , her inner world , confined\na criminally underrated gem of \u201970s cinema , night moves stars gene hackman as a retired football player - turned - private investigator who is hired by an aging starlet to track down her wayward daughter . naturally , this seemingly simple assignment leads our hero down a convoluted path littered with illicit relationships and rampant corruption . released a year after francis ford coppola\u2019s much celebrated the conversation , night moves very much serves as that film\u2019s spiritual sibling\u2014a complex , somewhat opaque treatise on american cynicism in a post - watergate world . \u2014 m . r .\nmann also recounted his inspiration for the film , the real life experiences of his friend , chicago police detective charlie adamson , who in 1963 ended up killing criminal neal mccauley ( for whom de niro\u2019s character was named ) . mccauley and adamson actually met before their later fatal encounter , having dinner together with a conversation that was reportedly very similar to the one pacino and de niro have in the famous scene . as mann put it , \u201cthey had the kind of intimacy only strangers can have , \u201d and just as easily were torn apart .\nand so noir cast its misfits\u2014gun - toting , hard - drinking , lipstick and stiletto - wearing human chimneys of neuroses\u2014into a seductive , violent postwar labyrinth , in which the terror was internal and external . fear of the next world conflict , fear of each other , fear of never getting back to a pure time , the fear in realizing there never really was one . a study in extremes that dealt in innuendo ( thanks again , censors ! ) as it departed from accepted cultural norms and , sometimes , basic humanity\u2014film doesn\u2019t get more perverse , or more unapologetic about it , than the noir environment .\nactually marks one of the filmmaker\u2019s more accessible works . indeed , the opening set -

era espionage . though undeniably dated in certain places , the film\u2019s take on politics and sex as well as its willingness to position an unrepentant thief in its main character slot represented the kind of daring mentality that would have been celebrated years later in the new\njason statham movies aren\u2019t known for their dialogue . people attend his films for their action sequences , which is why so few filmmakers give statham much to say . that\u2019s a shame , because when given the rare chance to be chatty , statham becomes more than just a lethal weapon . \u201cwild card\u201d gives him more opportunities to converse than to clobber , and as odd as this may sound , i really enjoyed listening to statham talk . his fight scenes have their predictable , violent payoffs , but his rambling monologues are unexpectedly , gloriously entertaining . this film\u2019s tagline should be \u201ccome for the stabbing , stay for the gabbing ! \u201d\ncriss cross marks the screen debut of future movie star tony curtis ( here billed as \u201cjames curtis\u201d ) . fortunately , the film\u2014which reunites burt lancaster with killers director / noir auteur robert siodmak\u2014works as much more than merely a footnote in curtis\u2019 career . lancaster stars as an armored truck guard who hatches a plan with his ex - wife to fake a vehicle robbing so they can make off with the loot . per the title , the plotline soon transforms into a tangled web of double - ( and triple - ) crosses that concludes with an ending that , even by noir standards , is pretty damn bleak . \u2014 m . r .\nthroughout , statham expertly handles goldman\u2019s sometimes absurd dialogue . the film is at its best when nick chats with people . \u201cwild card\u201d wisely casts its supporting characters with actors who leave an impression , including davis\u2019 dealer , anne heche \u2019s diner waitress , davenia mcfadden \u2019s information -

boiled walter neff , who falls for a married temptress ( barbara stanwyck ) who talks him into killing her husband . whether in film or on television , macmurray normally played the nice guy , but for double indemnity he turned his everyman decency into a mask\u2014perfect for a character who can barely conceal what a lustful , conniving bastard he is . one of the great noirs , this early effort from billy wilder revealed the filmmaker\u2019s talent for wonderfully thorny , unapologetically rotten characters\u2014and it doubles as one of the definitive mid - century los angeles movies . \u2014 t . g .\nit\u2019s hard to think of a movie that did more short - term damage to the length of your fingernails in the \u201990s than david fincher \u2019s se7en . the film follows detectives david mills ( brad pitt ) and almost - retired william somerset ( morgan freeman ) on the trail of john doe , a murderer who plans his kills around the seven deadly sins . we see somerset teach a still - naive mills valuable life lessons around the case , which has morally charged outcomes aimed at victims that include a gluttonous man and a greedy attorney . but with all the disturbing crime scenes considered , se7en \u2019s never as unpredictable or emotionally draining as when mills and somerset make the final discovery of \u201cwhat\u2019s in the box\u201d after capturing their man . \u2014 tyler kane\na story of unintended connections and one woman\u2019s spiraling descent into paranoia and terror , sorry , wrong number gets sort of a bum rap next to double indemnity in barbara stanwyck\u2019s catalogue of awesome performances . the film alternates between flashbacks and the present , and so too does stanwyck\u2019s spoiled , shiftless heiress to a drug - store empire go from lethargy to hysteria . turns out she\u2019s the center of a murder plot , though she doesn\u2019t quite realize it at first and must piece together the architecture of her own demise as she lies bedridden and alone in her opulent manhattan digs . stanwyck gives sorry , wrong number a pulse , while anatole litvak\u2019s direction soaks her growing terror in shadows so deep , the intruder sneaking through her house can\u2019t help but bump into the furniture . \u2014 a . c .\ndon siegel\u2019s debut picture , the verdict rests between two axes : peter lorre and sydney greenstreet . siegel could have shot the film and styled his mis\u00e9 en scene any way he wanted , and none of it would have mattered so long as he kept his two leading men on the cast . the verdict is all about them , both from the perspective of narrative and in terms of the viewing experience . lorre has a habit of stealing our attention while hanging out at the edges of the frame , while greenstreet uses his imposing bulk to command from the center of the camera . they make a fun pair as antiheroes trying to redeem greenstreet\u2019s disgraced scotland yard superintendent when an innocent man is sent to the gallows thanks to his botched investigation , while siegel soaks their mission in noir\u2019s dark - washed style and black humor . \u2014 a . c .\na pioneering work in the film noir movement , detour was initially conceived as little more than yet another quickie product straight from hollywood \u2019s poverty row . the story concerns a piano player who , while hitchhiking from new york to hollywood , ends up getting a ride from a pill - popping bookie who later turns up dead . thus begins a series of bad decisions that provides the template for any good noir yarn . filmed in less than a month with a miniscule budget , the eventual theatrical cut barely clocked in over an hour . it was from these severe limitations , however , that the vocabulary of down - and - dirty noir films began to take shape . indeed , detour \u2019s ragged edges and technical hiccups helped inadvertently create the kind of grimy , hard - boiled atmosphere that served as the perfect reflection of its equally gritty content . \u2014 m . r .\nfran\u00e7ois truffaut\u2019s shoot the piano player feels like the tragicomic reverse of melville\u2019s le doulos ( no . 53 ) . instead of adapting french literature through an american lens , truffaut does the reverse , turning david goodis\u2019 crime yarn down there into an altogether unpredictable story about commercialism , artistic purity , and the ways our pasts catch up with us . shoot the piano player keeps its tongue firmly in cheek as truffaut oscillates between absurd slapstick and heartbreak . a man swears to his honesty on his mother\u2019s soul , and the camera cuts away to dear old mom as she falls down dead in her kitchen ; truffaut\u2019s protagonist , charlie ( charles aznavour ) , plays a ditty in the dive bar where he works , haunted by the death of his wife as well as his rising career as a concert pianist . the film is a romp until it\u2019s a downer . \u2014 a . c .\nat the start of jean - pierre melville\u2019s le doulos , a handy dandy intertitle card kindly lets us know that the film\u2019s name refers either to a style of hat or a police informant . once the picture commences , we get plenty of both plus the oozing - cool style of melville , whose tendency to play down everything in his frame makes even his use of shadow and light seem aloof . le doulos is the most - least french contribution to this list ; it\u2019s melville\u2019s adaptation of a novel by pierre lesou , but he blends lesou\u2019s words with twists on symbols and staples of american noir . a purist might argue that combining a french novel with american sensibilities is an implicit rejection of the filmmaking model he and his fellow rive gauche comrades established in the 1950s . in truth , that synthesis produces a celluloid slurry that\u2019s uniquely melville , minimalist and slick . \u2014 a . c ."]}

it is all about how one creates something better despite all the limitations , with available talent and technical support . \u201d still , there will be highs and lows and one must stay positive , he points out . rajeshwar has only made a handful of films in the last four decades . but , he continues to write stories regularly . he would always tell his students that a story takes wings as soon as the writer finishes . it flies on its own accord , reaches a producer , and comes back at the time when it has to be made into a film , he grins . \u201ca writer has to be optimistic and imaginative like that . \u201d\n\u201cit took me about 10 years to complete kovilpatti veeralakshmi . and when it released , there were mixed reactions . critics panned it . \u201d but rajeshwar isn\u2019t the one to take criticism seriously . \u201cfirstly , there are no critics like roger ebert here . some still write reviews using phrases like , \u201c olipadhivu kulkuluvena irundhadhu ! \u201dbut i do take some into consideration . and i was slightly low after the release . commercial fallout of the film did affect me . \u201d\nand , it paid off . for around that time , a friend introduced him to rajkumar santhoshi . over dinner at taj , the duo discussed cinema and books for hours . rajeshwar was invited by rajkumar to join him in mumbai if he had a story to spare .\nrajkumar , who had been making films with big stars , was advised by rajeshwar to make one with upcoming artistes .\n\u201ci wish you could become a brand yourself , \u201d rajeshwar had told him .\n\u201cyou give me a script . i will make one , \u201d was santhoshi\u2019s response . and that\u2019s how , ajab prem ki ghazab kahani took shape . the premise was based on a telugu movie , soggadu , but rajeshwar wrote it afresh for santhoshi .\nrajeshwar has now written the script and the songs for the tamil remake , which will be directed by one of his sons .\nbesides writing and direction , rajeshwar has also been busy translating vairamuthu\u2019s songs into english . he was introduced to vairamuthu by bharathiraja , with whom rajeshwar had worked on scripts and story discussions . \u201ci learnt the nuances of commercial cinema from the discussions i had with bharathiraja , \u201d he recalls .

thought out central conflicts from a blockbuster in a long time . they aren\u2019t battling because of opposing ideologies or deep emotional history . they\u2019re simply an inconvenience to each other . if anything , mordo\u2019s obsession with order would make him a more compelling foil for kaecilius .\nand they earned poltergiest the title of the most cursed production of all time .\nin effect , strange is proven right . who cares about rules and breaking the laws of nature when you\u2019re actually right , and in turn you save the world ? strange never grows much as a character since he proves to be right about far too much , justifying his ego and rank arrogance . cumberbatch is having considerable fun with the role ( although he brings nothing unexpected ) but he can\u2019t distract from how nothing in strange\u2019s story feels earned . you also can\u2019t ignore that \u201cdoctor strange\u201d is essentially the story of a white man who travels to an \u201cexotic\u201d land , whose culture and people he doesn\u2019t respect let alone know the language of . yet somehow he just happens to realize he\u2019s a natural at magic and gets good enough to beat practitioners who have been doing this for years .\nat the same time as she takes the philosophy course , sophie receives a strange postcard sent to hilde m\u00f8ller knag , care of sophie . the postcard is from hilde ' s father and wishes hilde happy birthday . sophie is confused , and moreso when she finds a scarf with hilde ' s name on it . she does not know what is happening but she is sure that hilde and the philosophy course must somehow be connected . she learns about socrates , who was wise enough to know that he knew nothing . then alberto sends her a video that shows him in present day athens and somehow he seems to go back in time to ancient athens . she learns about plato and his world of ideas and then about aristotle , who critiqued plato , classified much of the natural world , and founded logic and our theory of concepts .\nthe world premiere of \u201cdoctor strange\u201d was held at the famous tcl chinese theater on thursday night . fans braved the 90 -

the three men begin to converse , but a look of horror comes over jekyll\u2019s face , and he slams the window and disappears . soon afterward , jekyll\u2019s butler , mr . poole , visits utterson in a state of desperation : jekyll has secluded himself in his laboratory for several weeks , and now the voice that comes from the room sounds nothing like the doctor\u2019s . utterson and poole travel to jekyll\u2019s house through empty , windswept , sinister streets ; once there , they find the servants huddled together in fear . after arguing for a time , the two of them resolve to break into jekyll\u2019s laboratory . inside , they find the body of hyde , wearing jekyll\u2019s clothes and apparently dead by suicide\u2014and a letter from jekyll to utterson promising to explain everything .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand - picked selection of content for ebert fans . you will receive a weekly newsletter full of movie - related tidbits , articles , trailers , even the occasional streamable movie . club members also get access to our members - only section on urltoken\nmelancholy in the wake of a divorce , 40 - year - old shaul decides that visiting his estranged dad will perk him up . but shaul couldn ' t be more wrong .\nas i pondered these questions , i found myself returning to the original \u201cfrankenstein\u201d and almost immediately succumbing to its charms . in telling her story , shelley clearly enjoyed the advantages of a more primitive scientific era . when less is known , more seems possible . but what makes shelley\u2019s novel enduring is the fraught relationship between the creator and his creation , and the tremendous poignancy of the monster as he acquires a consciousness of himself , and his own social and emotional isolation .\nsteve almond is the author , most recently , of the story collection \u201cgod bless america . \u201d\nthe greatest of our literary works are , by contrast , predicated on a benign magic very much akin to the malevin procedure . readers are given access , through a thrilling accretion of language and story , to the minds and hearts of other beings . although they don\u2019t exist within the world we physically occupy , these characters \u2014 from don quixote to emma woodhouse , from mrs . dalloway to holden caulfield \u2014 come to life within us . they become not only real , but eternal .\ngiven this context , theroux\u2019s modern frankenstein story \u2014 in which the actual research of post - world war ii russian utopians meets the technological ambition of the silicon valley parvenu \u2014 registers as eerily plausible .\nthe sad decay , which buildings , bridges and church all displayed , seemed to charm them . . . . they were englishmen and , to them , the decline of other nations was the most natural thing in the world . they belonged to a race blessed with so sensitive an appreciation of its own talents ( and so doubtful an opinion of anybody else ' s ) that they would not have been at all surprised to learn that the venetians themselves had been entirely ignorant of the merits of their own city - - until englishmen had come to tell them it was delightful .\nthe relaxing soundtrack , which would be ideal for a yoga class , slows things down further .\nat least , not one profiled so sketchily . directed by rapha\u00ebl nadjari , the film follows shaul ( ori pfeffer ) , a clerical worker at a hospital in israel , as he decides , apparently on impulse , to visit his dad , shimon , in haifa . father and estranged son have not seen each other in five years , so there\u2019s a lot of catching up to do .\nc . s . lewis ' s book\nthe magician ' s nephew\n?\neach puddle became a silver mirror . . . . he felt as if he might pass through any of those mirror - doors and find himself in one of the other worlds which once bordered upon england .\nit ' s clear that clarke ' s library of books about magic rivals mr . norrell ' s .\nin the application of anything powerful - - chili peppers , kettledrums , hyperbole - - a little goes a long way , and too much sometimes delivers an effect opposite than that intended . prolixity is risky : a writer can take relish in perhaps more physical detail than is required . risky , too , is the impulse to deepen the back story ; it can threaten to overwhelm the plot . ( in 185 dense footnotes , an ungainly amount of invented and somewhat parodic scholarly material weighs upon this novel . )\nthe plot concerns a 40 something year old man who finally meets up with his father after not seeing him for several years . from there , the film takes on different directions and doesn ' t know whether it should be a drama or a comedy . it doesn ' t really succeed in either .\ndirector scott derrickson took on the whitewashing controversy , explaining how selecting swinton was a diversity choice itself .\n\u201cmy name is nicholas patrick slopen . i was born in singapore city on april 10 , 1970 . i died on sept . 28 , 2009 , crushed in the wheel arch of a lorry outside oval tube station . . . . i will have to commit myself to some details with a certain , and perhaps wearisome , degree of exactitude in order to provide evidence to support the contention contained in the first paragraph of this testimony : that i am nicholas slopen , and that my consciousness has survived my bodily death . \u201d\nto employ dry humor in the service of majesty .\nit has been remarked ( by a lady infinitely cleverer than the present author ) how kindly disposed the world in general feels to young people who either die or marry .\nand , of english visitors to venice circa 1816 , the good - natured narrator says :\nhe returns to haifa one day for a reckoning with the father he has not seen in 5 years .\n1 of 6 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nto read more about kino lorber edu ' s terms of use and ordering information , visit kino lorber edu .\nthe letter continues describing jekyll\u2019s cry for help . far from his laboratory and hunted by the police as a murderer , hyde needed lanyon\u2019s help to get his potions and become jekyll again\u2014but when he undertook the transformation in lanyon\u2019s presence , the shock of the sight instigated lanyon\u2019s deterioration and death . meanwhile , jekyll returned to his home , only to find himself ever more helpless and trapped as the transformations increased in frequency and necessitated even larger doses of potion in order to reverse themselves . it was the onset of one of these spontaneous metamorphoses that caused jekyll to slam his laboratory window shut in the middle of his conversation with enfield and utterson . eventually , the potion began to run out , and jekyll was unable to find a key ingredient to make more . his ability to change back from hyde into jekyll slowly vanished . jekyll writes that even as he composes his letter he knows that he will soon become hyde permanently , and he wonders if hyde will face execution for his crimes or choose to kill himself . jekyll notes that , in any case , the end of his letter marks the end of the life of dr . jekyll . with these words , both the document and the novel come to a close .\nsaul , fortyish , a melancholic dreamer , decides to visit his father whom he hasn ' t seen in five years , and whom he blames for all his ills . he discovers a possible new life . . .\nso as people continue to submit comments like sick , disgusting , deeply traumatized , or even wow , i believe we should first ask ourselves ,\nif this is how i feel as the viewer , how must it feel being the victim of incest ?\npersonally , i think we make a terrible mistake in vilifying filmmakers , storytellers or messengers because when we do this in some strange way we simultaneously and unwillingly empower the abusers . if films like the johnsons aren ' t openly produced and seriously discussed , we silently say to the vermin that perpetrate these atrocities -\nyour secret is safe . carry on .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute !

live the humiliation in the circus ring every night . sj\u00f6strom crafted the best chaney film of them all by taking taking all of chaney\u2019s favorite obsessions and exaggerating them even more than usual . the main character is sympathetic yet terrifying , an amplification of all our biggest fears and hangups . when the circus calls him onto the stage one last time , it\u2019s the grand exit of all grand exits . not for people with coulrophobia .\nhe took as his model leni riefenstahl\u2019s \u201ctriumph of the will , \u201d her film about the 1934 nazi party congress , which is considered both a masterpiece of propaganda and an important documentary . \u201ci thought this would satisfy the north korean regime on the one hand , \u201d he said , \u201cand give the world a view of the real north korea on the other . \u201d\na few short years after starting in film , victor sj\u00f6str\u00f6m made an essential work that shows off both his love for bold , dynamic compositions and his wide range as an actor . adapted from the henrik ibsen poem , the film follows the life and hardships of a sailor who loses his family , then later comes back in contact with the person responsible for his tragedy . the themes of revenge , forgiveness and redemption would continue throughout sj\u00f6strom\u2019s career , but they\u2019re particularly deep -

sung .\nthe final reel , shot at the studio\u2019s insistence , is quite clever in the way it skirts the command for a happy ending . a title card comes up beforehand and declares it all an unrealistic fantasy , then murnau intentionally makes it so absurd that it only serves to underline the desperation felt in the rest of the film .\nthe golden age of swedish silent cinema ended with a bang via this this epic tale of a drunken priest\u2019s redemption . mauritz stiller conjures a series of defining moments in gosta berling\u2019s life , including sex scandals , wolves , fire and romance , with a level of grandeur that recalls gone with the wind . lars hanson carries the film with his fiery eyes and bravado exchanges with costars , including gerda lundquist and greta garbo ( in her first film ) .\nthe problem with a lot of silent german ( and u . s . ) \u201cstreet films\u201d is that they\u2019re so intent on showing the dark side of society that the movies just become one long barrage of terrible things happening to some poor girl who doesn\u2019t deserve any of it . what sets harbor drift apart is that its assortment of characters start in the gutter , and see a chance , in the form of a valuable necklace , to get out . mittler makes the expected critiques of the class divide , but he also gets deeper into the dark side of human nature with keen expressionistic flare .\n\u201ci shouldn\u2019t have bothered scoring the last 15 minutes , \u201d rodney sauer of the mont alto motion picture orchestra told me after accompanying safety last at the san francisco silent film festival . he said he and his ensemble couldn\u2019t even hear themselves over the uproarious laughter in the castro theatre during harold lloyd\u2019s famous building -

message features , some reflecting rather skewed , but nevertheless deeply held worldviews , but her purest cinematic punch is suspense , a 10 - minute collaboration with her husband , phillips smalley , that provides exactly what the title promises . the film crosscuts between a woman under siege by a tramp and a husband hurrying home to save her , if he can avoid the police . the inventive camera work ratchets up the tension more effectively than even d . w . griffith did at the time . what\u2019s most satisfying , though , is how weber and smalley distill one of the most primal feelings cinema can offer .\nmotion picture | short film ( under 30 minutes ) . paul whiteman .

( original title : \u201cpoes\u00eda sin fin\u201d )\nlike many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .\noverall , nightworld is far from perfect . the script could have easily benefited from a re - write , and its ending left a lot to be desired . but the film is just as suspenseful as it is frustrating , which should easily justify an hour and a half behind the sofa . the cliffhanger ending does leave things wide open for a much more expansive sequel , but this might be best left at one .\nbloody reader mike magnano shared the image and noticed that the cast is listed in the background , which is double confirmed on the film\u2019s imdb page . starring are sophie skelton , marcus vanco , jeff gum ( exeter , the vault ) , lorina kamburova ( nightworld , leatherface death race 4 ) , nick loeb , rachel o\u2019meara , debbie sherman , luke cousins , nathan cooper , and cristina serafini . we have confirmed the cast .\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 .\ndespite the evidently minimal budget of nightworld , valladares displays some impressive visuals which excellently contribute to the disturbing atmosphere of the film . it\u2019s painfully clear that the lions share of the budget has been saved for the narratives conclusion however . in a typical ghost story fashion , viewers shouldn\u2019t expect to see much in the way of answers until the eleventh hour . but the conclusion does manage to deliver some legitimate scares , even if it does begin to resemble a cross between the exorcist and an episode of goosebumps .\na glorious feast for the senses , the latest film from chilean octogenarian and life - long maverick alejandro jodorowsky revisits his coming of age as an aspiring young poet in the bohemian santiago of the 40s and 50s .\n\u201cveteran auteur and master of the mexican bizarre , arturo ripstein \u2013 an influence on a generation of his country\u2019s directors \u2013 plunges us into a mexico city of crime , prostitution and luchador wrestling . \u201d \u2014 film forum\ngerman filmmaker christoph behl remarked to me , \u201cyou are evolving , and after the film , you are not the same person as you were before . \u201d do you perceive there to be a transformative aspect to the creative process ?\nghost stories are an incredibly mixed bag at the best of times . the infamous sub - genre has seemingly been the first port of call for every low budget horror film since the 1970\u2019s . on one hand this makes ghostly thrillers difficult to get enthusiastic about . but on the other hand , it gives them a relatively large amount of flexibility with storytelling . now , fresh - faced film maker patricio valladares has crafted his own supernatural thriller , starring none other than robert englund ( a nightmare on elm street ) .\nnightworld tells the story of a former lapd officer , named brett irlam , who starts a new job as the head of security in a mysterious apartment building in sofia . as brett continues to experience horrific nightmares of his late wife , he further investigates the bizarre history of the building to discover the terrifying truth within . while this appears to be a typically cliched plot , the film actually manages to build tension and suspense masterfully . the overall mystery surrounding the building , and what brett is guarding , raises many questions that easily maintain interest in the narrative . although that being said , the answers to these questions overall are far less interesting .\nmake no mistake : endless poetry is still very much a jodorowsky film , dotted with his trademark phantasmagorical conceits , which are like candified bursts of comic - book magic realism . yet more than any previous jodorowsky opus , it\u2019s also a work of disciplined and touching emotional resonance . \u201d \u2014 owen glieberman , variety\n\u201ci believe that all people fear what awaits us after death , \u201d says chilean filmmaker patricio valadares . \u201ci would like to live a life after death - - reincarnation in the future . \u201d the genre filmmaker who has built a reputation with 2014\u2019s hidden in the woods ( 2014 ) and last year\u2019s downhill , delves into the afterlife with nightworld ( 2017 ) , whose tagline reads : \u201cthe afterlife is darker than you think . \u201d\nhaving a bit of fun from set is johnathon schaech ( quarantine , prom night ) , who shares the below shot of himself getting a makeup test done for the film , which follows a former medical student tormented by a dark figure from her past , who happens to be a half - human , half - zombie hell - bent on destroying her .\nthe film follows brett anderson ( jason london ) , a former lapd officer and grieving widower who , haunted by encounters with death and loss , takes a job as head of security at an old apartment building . at first what seems a mundane assignment becomes more perilous as anderson discovers a malevolent force trapped in the bowels of the building that wants its freedom .\ni like to place the camera at different angles because i love todd mcfarlane\u2019s comics . he is a master of narrative and storytelling in comic book form , and he\u2019s an important reference for me , and so i will always try to shoot my movies with a lot angles . the space and location is also important in movies like nightworld , and the location to me is another character in the story -

rejon told me : \u201cthe medium and the mystery of the process is that i could wake up one day and not know where to put the camera . not that i know where to put the camera now , but you walk in with a certain sense . \u201d could we describe the filmmaking or creative process as a void of apprehension and uncertainty ?\nyeah , this is very true and i feel these same vibes . i try to work with a storyboard and talk with my cinematographer about the ideas i have of where to put the camera , but shooting there are always different problems with the aesthetics etc . because you need to work continuously to adapt the space . maybe it ' s different on big budget movies like in hollywood , but i don ' t know , and so for me it\u2019s a mystery too .\ni agree with zandvliet . a director will be involved in all areas of the production of a movie , from script to marketing . making a movie for me is like having children . they need work every day before they are ready and an audience can watch them . i started making movies in chile with no budget , then with some money from the chilean government and so i know every area of work that goes into shooting a flick - - i was the cinematographer , cameraman , editor , producer , writer and director of my movies . it ' s tiring , but fun , and this school helped me learn the process of filmmaking . after all of this i can now make real movies .\nloris curci , the producer , whose story this is first told me about his idea maybe three years ago when he asked me if i could make a teaser poster for the project . we were working together on hidden in the woods , but he was still looking for investment from a production company at that time .\nit\u2019s a difficult question for me . i think that for many years filmmakers and artists established the genre , and then a lot of filmmakers have made movies because the genre has influenced their lives . influences in my childhood were music , such as metal , thrash and death metal with all their cover and poster art and lyrics . and of course , there are a lot of genre movies that i picked up on and which inspired and influenced me to try to make genre films .\nspeaking with british genre filmmaker christopher smith , he remarked :\ni think horror has become utterly boring . that\u2019s not to say that the horror genre is tiring to me , but everybody has got to pull their socks up a bit and start to dig a bit deeper . the stuff that is being churned out and that people are turning into blockbusters is mostly utter shit and it\u2019s just about finding a way to move on from that .\nwhat are your own feelings towards the horror genre ?\nfirstly , i ' m a fan of christopher smith\u2019s work . this question about horror and if it ' s difficult to create something original today - - yes , i feel that ' s true . there are a lot of talented people working in the movies , comics , and music , in this \u2018media world\u2019 , and filmmakers need to take time with an idea . i like to shoot , edit and market my movies in a way that is different and original .\nby the way , the big problem for me is that the audience likes to see these movies with very fast and simple stories . for example , with my previous movie downhill , that screened at frightfest in 2016 , a lot of people were bothered by the fact that i left things in the plot without explaining them . but why do we have to explain everything ? i love to watch experimental movies and imagine for myself those things that are not in the story .\nof course , and i\u2019ve made movies and i can say to you that i\u2019m not the same person that i was before . you\u2019re learning about the creative process , and taking away an experience that will help you to shoot a better movie , and you could be learning about a new culture . i\u2019m a chilean director who shoots movies in the us , turkey , and bulgaria , and that informs you .\nit ' s a testament to zevin ' s understanding of multiple age groups that she ' s able to capture a variety of women at various life stages . her portrayals feel honest and true .\nvisual artist / silos frontman walter salas -

existent and training in filmmaking was acquired through assistantship , no one could have been better prepared for a brilliant career than marcel carn\u00e9 . he worked as assistant to ren\u00e9 clair on the first important french sound film , sous les toits de paris , and to jacques feyder on the latter ' s three great films of 1934\u201335 . though he had also made a successful personal documentary , nogent , eldorado du dimanche , and a number of publicity shorts , it was only thanks to the support of feyder and his wife , the actress fran\u00e7oise rosay , that carn\u00e9 was able to make his debut as a feature filmmaker with jenny in 1936 . if this was a routine melodrama , carn\u00e9 was able in the next three years to establish himself as one of europe ' s leading film directors .\nin 1976 , he made what turned out to be his last film , a documentary called la bible , which was released both theatrically and to television .\narmes , roy , french film since 1946 : the great tradition , new york , 1970 .\nthis is a classic , and i consider it one of the best family films evermade . it is moving and says a very great deal about life and about art .\n, directed by john ford and starring donald crisp . clark made the jump to director for the small screen first ; he directed a number of television episodes of\ntheir collaborative film works would dominate the french film industry for ten years . but the professional relationship did not survive long after world war ii , and the team ended their working relationship in 1947 .\nthe collaboration of pr\u00e9vert and carn\u00e9 was sustained during the very different circumstances of the german occupation , when they together made two films that rank among the most significant of the period . since films in the mode of 1930s poetic realism were now banned , it is hardly surprising that carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert should have found the need to adopt a radically new style . remaining within the concept of the studio - made film , but leaving behind the contemporary urban gloom of le jour se l\u00e8ve , they opted for a style of elaborate and theatrical period spectacle . the medieval fable of les visiteurs du soir was an enormous contemporary success but it has not worn well . working with very limited resources the filmmakers\u2014assisted clandestinely by trauner and the composer joseph kosma\u2014succeeded in making an obvious prestige film , a work in which frenchmen could take pride at a dark moment of history . but despite the presence of such players as arletty and jules berry , the overall effect is ponderous and stilted .\nthe film daily felt the film was a\npleasing human interest story nicely suited for the family\n, although they felt it might be at a disadvantage due to the lack of well - known actors in the cast . harrison ' s reports gave the film a good review , saying it was\nwholesome ,\nwith\ndeep human appeal\n. they felt the production and direction were excellent , and they enjoyed the performances of the acting crew . they rated it as an excellent children ' s film . motion picture daily gave the film a slightly less warm review , feeling that the picture was artistically satisfying due to its similarity in style to european films . despite that slow pace , they applauded edward sloman ' s direction , and stated the\n. . . film ' s beauty is simplicity abetted by touching performances and noteworthy direction done with a fine sense of feeling and understanding .\nthe motion picture herald said the picture was full of\n. . . romance , drama , comedy , tragedy , deception and triumph . . . ,\nand thought it attempted to\n. . . capture faithfully the spirit of the book and the story .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\nthe pair share a certain fantastic conception of realism , with film seen as a studio construct in which fidelity to life is balanced by attention to a certain poetic atmosphere . carn\u00e9 ' s coldly formal command of technique is matched by pr\u00e9vert ' s sense of the logic of a tightly woven narrative . if it is pr\u00e9vert ' s imagination that allows him to conceive both the amour fou that unites the lovers and the grotesque villains who threaten it , it is carn\u00e9 ' s masterly direction of actors that turns jean gabin and mich\u00e8le morgan into the 1930s ideal couple and draws such memorable performances from michel simon , jules berry and arletty .\nvirmaux , a . , and o . virmaux ,\nla malediction : le film inach\u00e8ve de carn\u00e9 et prevert ,\nin cin\u00e9matographe ( paris ) , october 1986 .\nin 1936 , with the help of feyder and his actress wife , francoise rosay , carn\u00e9 secured his first feature -

six and at the height of his fame when the war ended . younger than most of those who now came to the fore , he had already made masterly films in two quite different contexts and it seemed inevitable that he would continue to be a dominant force in french cinema despite the changed circumstances of the postwar era . but in fact the first post - war carn\u00e9 - pr\u00e9vert film , les portes de la nuit , was an expensive flop . when a subsequent film , la fleur de l ' \u00e2ge , was abandoned shortly after production had begun , one of the most fruitful partnerships in french cinema came to an end . carn\u00e9 directed a dozen more films , from la marie du port in 1950 to la merveilleuse visite in 1973 , but he was no longer a major force in french filmmaking .\nwhen world war ii ended , and les enfants du paradis was released , carn\u00e9 was still a young man\u2014he was only in his late thirties\u2014and his future seemed bright . however , his first post - war film , les portes de la nuit , which returned to the pre - war concerns of poetic realism , was an expensive failure , despite a script by pr\u00e9vert .\nthe film also marked the start of ongoing collaborations with set designer alexandre trauner and composer joseph kosma . previously , carn\u00e9 and the hungarian - born trauner worked together on feyder ' s la kermesse heroique .\ncarn\u00e9 ' s masterpiece is les enfants du paradis , shot during the war years but released only after the liberation . running for over three hours and comprising two parts , each of which is of full feature length , les enfants du paradis is one of the most ambitious films ever undertaken in france . set in the twin worlds of theatre and crime in nineteenth century paris , this all - star film is both a theatrical spectacle in its own right and a reflection on the nature of spectacle . the script is one of pr\u00e9vert ' s richest , abounding in wit and aphorism , and carn\u00e9 ' s handling of individual actors and crowd scenes is masterly . the sustained vitality and dynamism of the work as it moves seemingly effortlessly from farce to tragedy , from delicate love scenes to outrageous buffoonery , is exemplary , and its impact is undimmed by the years .\ncarn\u00e9 ' s second feature film , dr\u00f4le de drame ( bizarre , bizarre ) , a crime / comedy / fantasy released in 1937 , was a great improvement over jenny , due in large part to pr\u00e9vert ' s contribution . the film itself has been described as peculiar , and it initially confused french audiences . it reflected pr\u00e9vert ' s taste for the absurd and the surreal . the story is set in england in the early 1900s , and the filmmakers took aim at the bourgeoisie . today , its blend of\nscrewball comedy\nelements and dark humor seem ahead of its time .\nin between quai des brumes and le jour se l\u00e8ve , carn\u00e9 released hotel du nord ( 1938 ) , with a script written by jean aurenche instead of pr\u00e9vert . still , it was a fatalistic romantic melodrama , like the other two films .\nthe acting in this version of ouida ' s sentimental story of a poor young boy who wants to be an artist definitely has its issues in terms of speaking lines ; even o . p . heggie , usually a very reliable talent , is poorly modulated . this i lay solely at the feet of the director , edward sloman , who had been directing for twenty years . however , even though a dialog director might have aided some of the performances , the visuals in this are outstanding - - a hallmark of sloman ' s work and veteran cinematographer j . roy hunt . the voice direction may be poor , but the physical acting is just fine . given the story - - and the dialog - - references to rubens , it should come as no surprise that the images refer to the artist , and make the point of the story thereby : that beauty is everywhere for those who can see it , and that faith hope and charity will be rewarded . this may seem a naive sentiment in this day and age , but when was there a day and age where these virtues were not threatened ? surely a simple story is the place to begin to tell a simple tale .\nmarcel carn\u00e9 was an unfashionable figure long before his directing career came to an end . scorned by a new generation of filmmakers , carn\u00e9 grew more and more out of touch with contemporary developments , despite an eagerness to explore new subjects and use young performers . his failure is a measure of the gulf that separates 1950s and 1960s conceptions of cinema from the studio era of the war and immediate prewar years . he was , however , the epitome of this french studio style , its unquestioned master , even if\u2014unlike renoir\u2014he was unable to transcend its limitations . while future critics are unlikely to find much to salvage from the latter part of his career , films like drole de drame and quai des brumes , le jour se l\u00e8ve and les enfants du paradis , remain rich and complex monuments to a decade of filmmaking that will reward fresh and unbiased critical attention .\n) she has a romantic partner with good looks , modest charm and considerable ability .\n. interestingly marie louise de la ram\u00e9e ( otherwise known as\nouida\n) and not a dutch writer . this is arguably the most famous story about a dutch boy and it telling that it was written by an english and not a dutch writer . ( hbc has commented in the\nby this time , carn\u00e9 ' s career had fallen victim to changing film fashions . his brand of studio - anchored film had been replaced by the\nnew wave\ncinema , advanced by young directors such as francois truffaut and jean luc godard . the works of these new directors took filmmaking outside of the studio and into the streets . their films were low - budget productions made on location and featuring relatively unknown or non - professional actors . this combined to create a greater sense of reality . further , the films possessed a spontaneous and improvisational feel that made older , studio - bound films feel artificial and pass\u00e9 . the emergence of this new style provoked carn\u00e9 to comment ,\nthe new wave assassinated me . but then it assassinated the cinema , too .\nhowever , his condemnation was far too harsh , as the\nnew wave\nbrought new life into the cinema .\nthe film had a pungent atmosphere developed , in large part , from carn\u00e9 ' s characteristic careful attention to detail . carn\u00e9 and set designer trauner created an apartment set as a single unit without movable walls . in addition , carn\u00e9 , seeking realistic effect , insisted that real bullets be used for the scenes when the police fire upon francois ' apartment .\nin 1953 , he filmed th\u00e9r\u00e8se raquin , an adaptation of the emile zola novel . the film was a popular success , but critics were less enthusiastic than the public . his next four films , l ' air de paris ( 1954 ) , le pays d ' \u00f2u je viens ( 1956 ) , les tricheurs ( the cheaters , 1958 ) , and terrain vague , had nowhere near the impact of his earlier work .\ncarn\u00e9 issue\nof cahiers de la cin\u00e9math\u00e8que ( perpignan ) , winter 1972 .\nthough their previous films were banned during the occupation , carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert were allowed to continue working together . in addition , carn\u00e9 continued working with trauner and kosma , but the collaborations had to be conducted in secret , as the set designer and the composer were both jewish . however , carn\u00e9 was limited in what he could depict on film . contemporary events were off limits under the german occupation , and films reflecting the pessimistic poetic realism were forbidden , so carn\u00e9 and pr\u00e9vert turned to historical subject matter . this resulted in a new visual style . instead of working in the gray shades of urban , working - class despair , carn\u00e9 turned to the more ornate and theatrical look of the period - film spectacle . made in 1942 , les visiteurs du soir ( the devil ' s envoys ) , a costume romance - drama , was an allegory about love and death set in medieval times . though the film was successful at the time , it has aged badly .\ncarn\u00e9 was born on august 18 , 1906 , in paris , france . he was the son of paul and maria ( recouet ) carn\u00e9 . he was educated at the education ecole d ' apprentissage du meuble in france , and worked as an apprentice cabinet maker and an insurance clerk in the mid - 1920s . in the late 1920s , he broke into film . in 1928 , he worked as an assistant to cameraman georges p\u00e9rinal on les nouveaux messieurs , for director jacques feyder , who would influence both carn\u00e9 and the direction of french cinema . the following year , carn\u00e9 made his first film , a short documentary entitled nogent , eldorado du dimanche . he also made a number of publicity shorts , but his documentary so impressed rene clair that , in 1930 , the great french director hired carn\u00e9 as his assistant director on sous les toits de paris ( under the roofs of paris ) .\nthe various advocates of either pr\u00e9vert or carn\u00e9 have sought to make exclusive claims as to which brought poetry to the nebulous and ill - defined\npoetic realism\nthat these films are said to exemplify . in retrospect , however , these arguments seem over - personalized , since the pair seem remarkably well - matched . the actual differences seem less in artistic approach than in attitude to production . from the first , carn\u00e9 , heir to a particular mode of quality filmmaking , was concerned with an industry , a technique , a career . pr\u00e9vert , by contrast , though he is a perfect example of the archetypal 1930s screenwriter , able to create striking star roles and write dazzling and memorable dialogue , is not limited to this role and has a quite separate identity as surrealist , humorist and poet .\nhistorical / mythological / devotional less popular socials diversified -

rate lacking the same morale - breaking power as a horde of men charging at you to stab you ) . the earlier plug bayonet fit the trope even more starkly - troops had to place their bayonet into their musket ' s barrel , preventing them from shooting , making it especially blatant their two main weapons were the musket and bayonet .\ngreat britain lead germany heading in to the cross country phase in the fei eventing nations cup . . .\nthe prototype was first flown in september 1974 with the first production version flown on 24 may 1977 . deliveries to the beech aero centers commenced early in 1978 .\nthe model 76 incorporates engines that turn in different directions to eliminate the critical engine from single engine operation .\nthe duchess is no longer in production but large numbers remain in use in flight schools around the world .\nd ' artagnan , a young gentleman from gascony , france , heads to paris to find his fortune in life . he goes to see m . de tr\u00e9ville , who is the commander of the king ' s musketeers . d ' artagnan ' s goal in life is to become a musketeer . while in paris , he meets porthos , athos , and aramis , musketeers who quickly become his friends , and constance bonacieux , who steals his heart .\nby midnight he had rewritten the episode , which was published . when , the following day , the dumas\nrewritten\ntext was found ,\nonly 30 words from 500 lines were not absolutely the same\n.\nfor the weekend , the top 12 films grossed an estimated $ 62 . 6 million \u0097 an increase of 38 . 9 percent over the same weekend last year .\nin the last witch hunter , when fighting the witches , kaulder alternates between his cool sword and hand cannon .\nhong kong inspired action sequences take center stage in this latest three musketeers adaptation . unfortunately , the oversimplification of the story and an uncharismatic lead character leave the movie flat .\nin the halo series from halo 2 onward , the player can wield a plasma sword in addition to their ranged weapon , with halo 3 adding in the gravity hammer .\nduring the climax of the sin city tale , hell and back , the main character duel wields a pair of colts and has a machete available . incidently , he eventually throws the machete to kill a mook from a distance .\nthe marvel comics elseworld the 5 ronin transplants familiar marvel characters to japan under ieyasu tokugawa ' s rule . the series ' version of the punisher is an expert swordfighter and an ace gunman , but depending on the situation he will only use one weapon , his rifle or his katana .\nthe three musketeers do this , though they ' re better known for using swords . since swords were the standard sidearm of the day , most of the book isn ' t spent in line combat , and guns of the day were single -

handed claymores . against armies who held ranks they tended to get massacred though . in fact , the dreaded highland charge helped lead to the development of the socket bayonet , which unlike the previous plug bayonet , fit over the barrel of the musket and allowed it to shoot and stab all at once . therefore , the english units were able to enter the battle with already fixed bayonets instead of having to equip them while a horde of screaming scotsman with bfs bore down on them . the swords of this period were one - handed light swords similar to a later broadsword . it was certainly not the claymore most people envision when they hear the word . by the 17th century , gunpowder had completely dominated the battlefield and any heavy infantry with armor and a bfs was a relic waiting to be slaughtered . the charge relied on a light targe , a broadsword or dirk , momentum , and a movement which left the english infantry helpless just long enough for them to be cut down .\nan earlier chase sequence involves an attempt by febre to capture the coach containing the queen and the comely d . , where d ' artagnan single -

sister , morgan .\na number of units in the dawn of war series are like this , in fact , armed with both a long - range firearm and some form of melee weapon , with the player given the choice to make them use one or the other depending on the situation . they also automatically switch to melee if attacked at that range , which creates quite a headache when crippling overspecialization happens . interestingly , the tau commander has no melee attack , so he flies up , shoots at the ground , and lands , then starts again .\nd ' artagnan and the musketeers track her down , accuse her of her many crimes \u2014 and execute her . when the entire story is revealed later to the cardinal , he is horrified at the extent of milady ' s evil web of death , and he is extremely impressed with d ' artagnan ' s laudable actions . consequently , he writes out a commission for d ' artagnan to become a lieutenant in the king ' s musketeers . after offering the commission to athos , porthos , and aramis and being refused by all three , d ' artagnan accepts the prestigious commission at the early age of twenty -

to - video movie , with a great - looking picture and room - shaking sound mix . i applaud universal also for continuing to include both cuts of the movie together rather than on separately - released discs as they had in the past . this movie probably won ' t win any awards , but it ' s great mindless fun . while available through\ndigital\nmeans , i urge those with good home theater systems to experience it on blu - ray disc , as nothing else comes close to its quality .\ndeliberately jumping the gun : in inferno , one of the racers tries to get a head start on the others by driving off before the race officially opens . he just ends up demonstrating how effective the prison ' s guided missile system is to punish anyone who might have ideas of leaving the planned route .\nthird entry in the death race franchise expands the plot even more and now death race is a global phenomenon . building on the plot of the prequel , this one offers more action that for a straight to dvd release that is pretty good and works well as a mindless entertaining action flick . acting is decent at best , while the plot is good , but leaves room for improvement . it ' s funny the big theatrical debut of death race was a mediocre affair , but the sequels are better and are more interesting as well . i personally view the sequels as fine b movies that are done right . this is a chaotic and pleasant hour and a half that fans of this series should check out . i really liked the film , and it overcomes its flaws , by having an interesting plot and good action scenes that for a low - budget feature are pretty well done . this film is much more fun than the original death race starring jason statham and along with the second one , is a film worth checking because the filmmakers were able to create something worthwhile for action fans . i love action flicks , and i ' m usually skeptical about straight to dvd titles , and rightfully so , because most of the time , they are poorly made films with awful stories and poor directing and acting . but with death race 3 , you have a film that will certainly surprise any film lover who love mindless action , but are unsure with these films released direct to dvd . death race 3 is not a perfect film , and it has plenty of flaws , but like the second one in the trilogy has an interesting plot that compliments the mindless on - screen carnage . along with death race 2 , this is a guilty pleasure that is among the better titles released straight to dvd . death race mediocre , but with the second one , they started to really create interesting concepts , which are appealing and ultimately fun .\ntvtropes is licensed under a creative commons attribution -

releasing pressure pads to spice things up . in inferno that concept remains , only this time\u2026 it involves women .\nrepentant convict carl lucas , aka frankenstein , is a legendary driver in the brutal prison blood sport known as death race . only one victory away from winning freedom , lucas is plunged into his most vicious competition yet : the first -

actors for actors ? writers for writers ? who votes for best picture ? the academy is broken up into 16 branches . the largest group is actors , with 1 , 251 voting members . when voting to determine the nominees , each branch nominates in its own category : actors for actors , writers for writers , etc . special voting groups within the academy pick the nominees in other categories ( documentary , foreign - lingo film , makeup , short films , sound editing , visual effects ) , with all the voting members nominating best picture . for the actual winners after the nominees have been determined , all members of the academy vote for all the awards ( except for three smaller awards ) . ballots are sent jan . 31 , they must be returned by feb . 20 .\naccording to rkas chief executive jaak saarniit , the location was selected considering art university\u2019s needs , and legal and economic aspects . at the new location , the new building can become a reality at optimal construction costs , the academy\u2019s rental and administrative costs coming down by nearly 30 per cent .\nafter 2016 ' s outcry , which included several high - profile stars including will smith and jada pinkett - smith boycotting the ceremony in protest , the academy announced plans to address this , promising to double its number of women and diverse members by 2020 .\nwhen a film wins an oscar , it\u2019s the producer who accepts the golden statuette and gives the acceptance speech . rules adopted by the academy in 2000 limits credited producers to three in order to avoid handing awards to a mob of \u201cproducers , \u201d some of whom may have gained the credit for little or no effort .\nin 2018 , the golden globes were announced on 7 january , and the academy ' s nominations voting closed on january 12 , with the final voting deadline set as february 27 . so in theory , voters could be influenced one way or the other by globe winners if they ' re on the fence about their choices .\nit will no doubt be argued that mr armani , 68 , is no more worthy a subject than was versace , who was celebrated as much for his kitsch glamour as for any artistic style . this argument will hold even more weight for a gallery with the status of the royal academy .\nhow do films get nominated ? is there an initial ballot before the final one ? the academy sends out an empty ballot to all the 5 , 830 academy members at the beginning of january with a separate sheet of paper listing all the eligible films . this year , ballots were sent out on dec . 26 and had to be returned on jan . 13 . to be eligible , feature films have until midnight , dec . 31 , to open in a commercial motion picture theater in los angeles county and begin a minimum run of seven consecutive days . this year there were 307 films that were eligible .\nat eka request , rkas has analysed and compared possible options for a new location for the academy , considering current conditions on the sites . in addition to no 1 tartu highway lot , telliskivi loomelinnak ( creative hub ) , former suva stocking factory at kotzebue st , and no 17 k\u00fcti st were considered .\nalthough details of the show are not yet published , it will be the first in the museum ' s new gallery in burlington gardens , central london \u2013 formerly the museum of mankind and the british museum ' s department of ethnography . the ornate victorian building , sited between the high - fashion thoroughfares of savile row and old bond street , was bought by the academy in 2001 for \u00a35m and is being refurbished as part of a \u00a340m project designed to double the exhibition space .\nan easy question with a very complicated answer . there are different voting branches for each category at the academy awards , where members vote in their own fields . for example , the actors branch votes to nominate in all four acting awards , the directors vote for best director nominees , and so on . how many votes you need to secure a nomination depends on the size of the voting branch .\nfeeble - minded leader of the academy , and lieutenant harris ( g . w . bailey ) is his scheming assistant . naturally , the recruits engage in a variety of zany antics . it all plays like a made - for - tv film with some nudity and scatological humor thrown in , but it made a bunch of money .\nyesterday , a deal was sealed by estonian academy of arts ( eka ) and state real estate ltd ( rkas ) regarding mutual obligations in acquiring a factory building at kotzebue st 1 / p\u00f5hja av 7 , north tallinn , to create a modern university of architecture , design and arts .\na hard - headed commitment to the current design \u2014 and to the smooth progression of the capital campaign , still underway , that is going to pay for it \u2014 has so far kept that from happening . academy leaders in their statement monday produced mostly empty spin , an attempt to show that they ' re responsive to criticism and public sentiment without changing course in any productive way .\na lot of customers have joined us during the past months \u2013 we\u2019re working hard on getting all those cakes eaten . here\u2019s one of them , welcoming willem de kooning academy in rotterdam . we\u2019re thrilled that yet another great school in the netherlands decided to hop on board and are very happy to see asimut being used by so many students and staff over there .\nthey are the awards craved by all of hollywood . every november more than 6 , 000 voting members from the 17 branches of the academy of motion pictures and sciences are sent a nominations ballot for the oscars . on this , they rank their favourite five films in a particular category , from best director to best makeup and hairstyling . after the votes are tallied , the awards are handed out at a glitzy ceremony , being held this year on february 22nd . but how , exactly , are oscar winners decided ?\nhow likely is it that the voter will get to watch all the movies ? extremely unlikely . this past year , in december alone , there were dozens of movies released . members of the academy are working film professionals and have full - time jobs , meaning they don\u2019t have time to see three movies a day , maybe only a couple a week . hence , having screeners at home makes viewing a lot more convenient .\ndo the stars campaign between the time they are nominated and the show ? yes , the campaigning never stops until the ballots are in . but by this stage in the race , however , the number of interviews and campaigning decreases compared to before the nominations .\nis every member of the academy sent screeners for all the films ? there is no rule that studios must send out screeners of its films . some studios choose to send out screeners for films that have been released late in the year , giving voters an opportunity to watch those movies at home when there are so many films vying for their attention . studios begin sending out screeners in late oct . and voters have until jan . 20 when final ballots are due to watch them .\nthe oscars 2017 were most notable for the colossal mess up at the end of the night when warren beatty was handed the wrong envelope and front runner la la land was announced as the best picture winner when the award actually went to moonlight .\nfilm awards are both a lucrative and a costly business . mr ellis - unwin compares it to running for a political office , with up to $ 10m spent on wooing voters . ( the high cost of campaigning for voters\u2019 attention means smaller films are at a disadvantage . ) but the stakes are high . winning awards , particularly oscars , often increases a film\u2019s box - office performance , as well as boosting the reputations ( and egos ) of the stars involved . this year\u2019s oscar campaign is now entering its final stretch . academy members have just received their second ballots , and the winners will be determined in the next few weeks . then the campaign will be over , and the drama of the ceremony will begin .\nwho counts the votes ? for the past 73 years , the accounting firm of pricewaterhousecoopers have tabulated the votes . the company counts the final ballots from feb . 21 through 23 . it\u2019s typically 3 long days ( with 14 -

related dealings . pwc has been the official oscar ballot counter for the past 83 years .\nafter final ballots are tabulated , only two partners of pricewaterhousecoopers know the results until the famous envelopes are opened onstage during the oscars telecast .\n( gensler , by the way , has to be considered the front - runner to be named executive architect on the film museum . )\ngoing forward , a third person will be added to the team of accountants that manage the ballot counting and results . this additional person will sit in the control room during the production to rapidly respond to any errors . pwc added that accountants will have to give up their mobile devices for the entirety of the show . the accountant who managed the oscar ballot counting process from 2002 to 2013 will return to the role .\nthe director concluded his statement by saying\nto humiliate one nation with the pretext of guarding the security of another is not a new phenomenon in history and has always laid the groundwork for the creation of future divide and enmity .\nlast month , pricewaterhousecoopers took full responsibility for giving actor warren beatty the wrong envelope to announce the final and most prestigious award of the night .\nafter a board meeting tuesday night , the first in - person gathering since the blunder , the group decided to keep pwc as its accounting firm with necessary changes , according to the hollywood reporter .\nmust everyone go backstage and be interviewed by the press ? yes , after receiving their awards all winners go directly to meet the press backstage and answer questions from the global press covering the awards .\ncan the nominees get up during the show ? where do they go ? yes , anyone is allowed to get up during commercial breaks and if they are not in their seats by the time the show is back on the air , seat fillers take their place . producers hate it if the camera pans the audience and there are empty seats .\nwhat kinds of campaigning do the studios do ? parties , dinners , screenings ? all of the above . in the past few years , screenings with a question - and - answer session afterward , featuring the cast and director of the film , have become quite popular , and give voters a chance to know the principals of the movie a little better . also , casual parties at the homes of the studio heads were in vogue this year . at a house party in support of \u201cthe devil wears prada , \u201d where the press was also invited , shooting the breeze in the kitchen were meryl streep , cate blanchett , forest whitaker and tom cruise .\nwhat are the important after parties to attend ? the highest - profile party is the governor\u2019s ball , which takes place in the grand ballroom of the hollywood and highland center and is adjacent to the kodak . approximately 1 , 600 guests attend and it\u2019s often the first stop in a night of party - hopping oscargoers . other big parties are the vanity fair soiree held at morton\u2019s restaurant and the elton john aids foundation bash , sponsored by in style magazine .\nzoltan pali , the los angeles architect who ' d been collaborating with the acclaimed italian renzo piano , has left the job . another firm , soon to be named , will join the project as executive architect as it approaches the start of construction later this year .\nbut it does nothing to address problems at the heart of the design , especially flaws in its spherical theater , which piano has nicknamed\nthe spaceship .\nduring his acceptance speech the following year , the director described iran as a\nrich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics .\nthe v & a at least is dedicated to the applied arts \u2013 fashion is an integral part of its permanent collection and fashion students the world over visit its archives . even so , the show was given mixed reviews .\ni hereby express my condemnation of the unjust conditions forced upon some of my compatriots and the citizens of the other six countries trying to legally enter the united states of america and hope that the current situation will not give rise to further divide between nations ,\nhe said .\nthe director said initially he planned to\nattend this ceremony and to express my opinions about these circumstances in the press surrounding the event\nwith his cinematographer hossein jafarian .\nthe statement continues ,\nas supporters of filmmakers - - and the human rights of all people - - around the globe , we find it extremely troubling that asghar farhadi , the director of the oscar - winning film from iran , ' a separation , ' along with the cast and crew of this year ' s oscar - nominated film ' the salesman , ' could be barred from entering the country because of their religion or country of origin .\nthe consensus , though , seems to be that hfpa voters are more likely to be influenced by the oscars than the other way around , and tend to cast their votes according to where the overall race seems to be going .\n2017 carried on the trend , with the addition of a record - breaking 774 new members from 57 different countries .\nonce all 17 branches have voted , the catchily - named auditing firm pricewaterhousecoopers uses a very complex weighting system to measure the results and determine the five nominees for each category .\nwho is invited and who isn\u2019t ? all of the nominees \u2014 including those in the below - the - line categories \u2014 are invited to the governor\u2019s ball , and most of the high - profile celebs are invited to an array of other parties . they may attend the aforementioned affairs and / or the studio parties and and / or agency parties where the press aren\u2019t encouraged to scope for photos . for example , caa or icm might have a private party for their clients .\nacademies will continue to serve the parish communities in which they are based as well as the wider community . close working relationships will be an important part of the success of our catholic education provision\naccording to the wrap , the only category in which you need more than 100 votes to secure a nomination are best picture and the four acting categories , which are voted for by the largest number of people . everyone has a say on best picture .\ngrey had been instrumental in the film\u2019s development , but backed out of direct involvement after getting the top job at paramount last year .\nhow do the designers approach the nominees about wearing dresses , jewelry , etc . ? every big designer \u2014 from dior to chanel \u2014 has a west coast rep who woos leading actresses and actors throughout the year in the hopes of convincing them to wear that particular designer . the campaigning gets very fierce as awards season approaches . smaller - name celebrities have their stylists reach out to the design houses .\nno laughing matter if you ' re one of the pricewaterhousecoopers accountants who were responsible , but better than the 2016 oscars which provoked an outpouring of bile when , for the second year running , there were no non - white acting nominees at all , inspiring the # oscarssowhite hashtag .\nthe political battles that plagued plans for union station also had a silver lining ; they gave its team of architects , led by john and donald parkinson , several crucial opportunities to improve the design in the 1930s .\nyou can support the aclu right away . text power to 20222 to give $ 10 to the aclu . the aclu will call you to explain other actions you can take to help . visit urltoken for terms . # standforrights2017\nthe pga devised its rules regarding credits after years of complaints about \u201ccredit creep\u201d \u2014 the tendency of filmmakers to massage the egos of actors , directors , studio executives and even agents by giving them undeserved on -

book phenomenon became a best - seller and landed its author , a certified marriage and family therapist , on the o ' reilly factor and the rush limbaugh radio show . dr . robert glover has devoted his career as a psychotherapist to freeing men from what he was dubbed the\nnice guy syndrome\n- trying too hard to please others while neglecting their own needs , thus causing unhappiness and resentfulness . it ' s no wonder that unfulfilled nice guys lash out in frustration at their loved ones , claims dr . glover . he explains how they can stop seeking approval and start getting what they want in life , by presenting the information and tools to help them ensure their needs are met , to express their emotions , to have a satisfying sex life , to embrace their masculinity and form meaningful relationships with other men , and to live up to their creative potential .\ndepending on your personal history and psychology , this book will either be of moderate use to you or one of the most important books you ever read . this is essentially a manual on assertiveness and moving past the experiences which have prevented you being an integrated person , focusing on sexual and relationship issues - but far from exclusively . dr glover is focussing on men who for whatever reason cannot safely and openly be themselves . the consequence is that such a man cannot be assertive and open , but must present a ' nice ' persona all the while being manipulative with others - hence nice guy syndrome . this has all kinds of negative consequences for both him and those around him , and fundamentally is not actually nice at all . for example a nice guy may want sex , but will not want to do so openly for fear of rejection , fear of female sexuality or fear of being ' dirty ' - and will therefore try manipulative strategies to get it , as if they will be owed it by a women as a consequence . the book is very pragmatic and practical , although , as per the warning in the book , liberating yourself from nice guy syndrome can radically change your life and relationships . the exercises are well worth doing and spending some real time with . this is a book to return to repeatedly to digest all the lessons . this is well worth reading for all men , if only to ensure you avoid the problems it describes and learn to be a genuine person with those that are closest to you . this is probably most potent in the late teens when figuring out how adult relationships work . it is probably also useful for women to understand the psychology of men who appear nice , but are also manipulative or underhand at the same time - or , in a word , ' creepy ' . finally , this is not a ' red pill ' or pua type book ; it ' s not cynical about people nor is it about maintaining some kind of manipulative grip on another person . it ' s actually about becoming a better , healthier man .\nset in 1930s los angeles , the film follows mildred ( winslet ) , a resourceful mother - of - two who rises from waitress to successful restaurateur . when she meets wealthy playboy monty beragon ( pearce ) , they fall in love but , with the interference of mildred ' s spiteful elder daughter veda ( evan rachel wood ) , happiness soon evaporates . it ' s markedly different to the 1945 movie , which starred joan crawford . in that , monty ' s character is murdered , the filmmakers turning the story into a flashback -

hearted . it & apos ; s a vicious cycle of self loathing known as the hanks effect . however , just because hanks is almost always nice doesn\u2019t mean he never sinks down to the level of the unwashed masses . early in his career he was known as a character actor who starred in a string of lowbrow comedies , which often featured crude humor , nudity , and shockingly foul language . hey , even the best of us have our bad days , and hanks certainly isn\u2019t immune to that .\nthe lengthy shot of lawrence and tasha is among the most explicit sex scenes in a show that hasn\u2019t been bashful about frank sexuality . it\u2019s even more raw than what led up to it , namely issa\u2019s indiscretion with daniel in the studio . but the scene isn\u2019t gratuitous . lawrence had something to prove to issa , to chad , and to the enterprising stripper . if issa can transform into miss gives all the fucks and molly can emerge as new molly , lawrence can be the guy who screws the flirtatious bank teller . it\u2019s tough to watch , of course : as issa sighs uncontrollably , the audience knows she\u2019s wondering where lawrence is and imagining the worst . little does she know the reality is worse than anything she might dream up .\ntodd had always said he really wanted to honour the book ,\nsays pearce .\nthings like character subtleties , which were lost in the earlier film , are really evident in our version and in the book , where you see these changes through somebody like monty , who is obviously spending his life trying to enjoy every moment he possibly can . and he can \u2013 obviously through the wealthy upbringing he ' s had . but when responsibility is required , we really see what ' s been repressed come to the surface .\nwith his head shaven , pearce is quite menacing , proving he can elevate even the most mundane material . still , it rather pales next to his work in mildred pierce , todd haynes ' sublime hbo - produced five - part mini - series , which is released on dvd next week ( after its sky atlantic run earlier this year ) . based on the james m cain novel of the same name , which inspired a 1945 movie version , it ' s arguably one of the best dramas to come out of america this year . co - starring with kate winslet , and working with the director of far from heaven , it was , as they say , a no - brainer for pearce .\npeople say , ' what made you want to do mildred pierce ? ' simple \u2013 todd haynes , kate winslet and hbo . how do you say no ?\ncarl weber and stephanie covington didn ' t disappoint with this one . it was so nice to get the background story on niles . he ' s a true bad ass and paris ' s equal . loved his and uncle willie ' s character . can ' t wait to read the next novel that ties all of these characters together . keisha ' s character really surprised me at the end . she was quick thinking and cunning when needed . y ' all presented another amazing read .\nthere are other projects too \u2013 an improvised film with british star felicity jones and , if it ever gets off the ground , an adaptation of william burroughs ' novel queer . still , he can ' t help feeling guilty .\nall you ever hear about is that actors are just always out of work , which is something that i ' m very aware of all the time . and there are these wonderful actors out there who don ' t get as much work as i do .\nmaybe one day he ' ll realise he ' s got there on merit .\nhe comes over to greet me , carrying a glass of water . he ' s wearing jeans , a black - check shirt , wicker - style flip - flops and sunglasses . he may not quite boast the torso of old \u2013 across his neighbours time , he trained as an amateur k bodybuilder , even winning the title of mr victoria \u2013 but he still looks lean , in trim . his brown hair , swept back , is receding a little now . still , he looks better than he did in the razorlight video for\nbefore i fall to pieces\n, in which he played a dishevelled superhero , sitting on a couch , munching pizza with manky teeth .\nit ' s a hot saturday lunchtime . the terrace of the hotel excelsior in venice is buzzing with wealthy patrons , while bikini - clad residents lounge around the nearby pool . standing to one side is guy pearce . once upon a time , as ramsay street ' s buff diving champion mike , you might have caught pearce jack - knifing into the water . but neighbours was a lifetime ago . he was just 19 when he started his three - year stint , back in the aussie soap ' s heyday . now he ' s 44 , with a beard flecked with grey .\nit came at the end of a bad period for pearce , whose agents were desperate to turn him into a leading man .\ni hated the way hollywood worked for the first 10 years [ i was there ] ,\nhe admits .\ni couldn ' t stand it . i just found it so dominating and horrible .\neven outside it , the film business was brutal . he cites 1999 ' s ravenous , a thriller that saw its original director milcho manchevski kicked off the production .\ni loved milcho . i was just devastated when they took him away . i was ready to kill somebody . i was going through a very angry period in my life at that stage , so i probably could ' ve killed somebody . it was really horrible . horrible . horrible .\nmaybe this is why directors love him .\nguy has an incredibly intense presence ,\nsays hillcoat , who initially cast him in the proposition , his 2005 western scripted by nick cave . the musician concurs :\nhe ' s so tightly wound . you can see that in the good films that he ' s made . he ' s got a sort of clenched jaw and it ' s all happening in his face .\nall three have reunited for what promises to be one of the most anticipated films of 2012 \u2013 bootlegger tale the wettest county in the world , which also stars tom hardy , gary oldman and shia labeouf .\ni come in with the smallest role ,\nhe says . size really doesn ' t matter to him .\npearce was born in ely , cambridgeshire , and it comes as no surprise to learn that pearce ' s bawdy humour has british roots . not that his early memories are tinged with happiness . his father was an raf test pilot , working on the nomad aircraft programme among other projects , until a plane crash cut his life short . pearce was eight at the time . he just remembers coming home and finding all his relatives there . his mother told him what happened , then broke down in tears .\ni ' d never seen her like that before \u2013 it just added to the shock . to be honest , i can ' t remember much about how i felt at the time \u2013 maybe i ' ve blocked it out .\nwith this in mind , it ' s no surprise he ' s stepped up his work rate . aside from his nick cave / john hillcoat reunion , next year he will be seen in lockout , a luc besson - scripted sci - fi tale . then comes the big one \u2013 ridley scott ' s prometheus , a prequel of sorts to scott ' s classic sci - fi horror alien . pearce visibly stiffens when i mention it .\nyeah , i ' m not allowed to talk about it ,\nhe says , immediately . he ' s contract - bound not to breathe a word about the plot .\nit ' s incredible , as you can imagine , but if you sign on , you ' re sworn to secrecy .\nfirst off let me just say , weber and covington did a great job aligning what we know about the present , to what we didn ' t know about the past . the book tells an intriguing story about how niles monroe became a savage killer , but it also shows his more sensitive side , and how it got tainted . if you ' re a reader who can appreciate the art of writing and how authors connect the dots with subtlety , you will definitely love this book . another winner from the family business series ! oh and of course there are some sexy scenes sprinkled throughout the pages as well . i enjoyed every minute of the read .\nhe learnt to meditate , concentrating on his breathing .\nthat was about as much as i could do . it ' s not that i still really do it . occasionally i will , if i want to stabilise myself a bit .\noverall , he realised he had to change his attitude \u2013 certainly when it came to hollywood .\na lot of it was my own insecurity about my ability . so once i started to feel a bit more confident about that . . . and once it was very clear that i wasn ' t going to live in la , and that i could stay living in australia , then a few things added up .\nmeanwhile , lawrence is enjoying some quality time with his boys , who we\u2019ve only seen in passing all season . lawrence is the girlfriend guy , and he\u2019s been so wrapped in his relationship cocoon that this is his first opportunity in a while to cut a fool . he almost does just that during a trip to the strip club . his boys convince him that the single life will be rife with opportunity with gorgeous , desperate women clamoring for an opportunity to bed him . lawrence , who apparently has never seen a quality stripper before , thinks he\u2019s about to get his first glimpse of his new life in the champagne room , but has his hopes shattered when the dancer asks for cash up front . the proposition is yet another instance of lawrence finding out that people see him as a milquetoast .\nno one can accuse issa of not trying to mend her fractured relationships . after procrastinating as long as possible , issa calls molly to thank her for her donation at the fundraiser . \u201cbitch , you still mad ? \u201d she says , hoping molly will answer in kind like she did in the pilot . instead , there\u2019s only starched silence , and when molly does start talking , what she has to say is far from what issa wants to hear . issa follows that awkward moment with a visit to lawrence at his fancy new tech job , and that goes even worse than the phone call with molly . issa\u2019s rite - aid care package isn\u2019t enough to smooth things over , and lawrence demands she stop calling him with the same anger that was in his voice during their initial blow - up .\n\u201cbroken\u201d is rae\u2019s best script yet , a sharp , insightful , and cleverly structured half - hour that flies by while leaving a lasting impression . the episode begins with issa brooding in the mirror , sick over the fact that she\u2019s driven away the two most important people in her life . it\u2019s a moment so simple as to belie its significance . all season , the mirror has been issa\u2019s safe space , the place where she can be a bolder , more brazen version of herself . this time , the mirror isn\u2019t a fantasy world where issa can be the second coming of mc lyte . it\u2019s an actual reflection of issa\u2019s sadness and sense of helplessness over a situation she can only do so much to fix .\nthe season finale is a pivotal moment for any freshman series , and it\u2019s especially important for a show like insecure , which isn\u2019t inclined toward plot twists or rug pulls . as a slice - of - life sitcom and a shrewd , subtle character study , the show\u2019s easygoing nature makes it harder to put a period on the sentence . then there\u2019s the issue of the downright stingy eight - episode season , a length that would seem to preclude an ending that feels satisfying and tonally appropriate while leaving more story to explore in season two . but if flop sweat was dripping out of issa rae\u2019s invisible pores , it certainly didn\u2019t show . \u201cbroken as f * * k\u201d is a stellar finale that delivers an emotional wallop while hinting at a fascinating path forward for insecure .\nin a moment of desperation , he goes back to his comfort zone , calling issa just to hear her voice when he\u2019s clearly not prepared to confront what she did . he suggests they talk \u201cat home , \u201d and issa , presumably hoping to catch lawrence before he reverts back to righteous fury , immediately packs and asks her friends for help . after initially dismissing issa , molly caves and drives her back to los angeles . molly even helps issa rehearse her apology speech in a tender moment that shows how deep their affection for each other goes . ( however , a more pessimistic reading of the scene would note that issa and molly still haven\u2019t directly addressed why they were upset with each other , which only exacerbates the emotional bottleneck that led to the argument . )\nthe only bright spot in issa\u2019s world is a girls\u2019 trip for kelli\u2019s birthday , complete with a carefree cruise up the pacific coast highway and a swanky rental home . the weekend is all about celebration and camaraderie , but issa and molly still can\u2019t figure out how to fall back into their groove . they sit in silence in the backseat on the way up , and even after the festivities are in full swing , they can\u2019t muster up anything more than loaded side glances . a game of truth or dare \u2014 \u201cwe did say , \u201d in the girls\u2019 parlance \u2014 escalates quickly when molly aggressively comes on to a much younger man , then brings him back to the house for a quick - and - dirty tryst . it\u2019s a two - birds , one - bone situation for molly , who gets to have a weekend fling and needle issa at the same time .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nin 2034 the uk had split leaving a post apocalyptic england alone in the world . surviving is the hardest thing you ' ll do in this unsceptred isle , unless you ' re trying to die , that gets harder . after eighteen years jon maitland returns to launceston in the hope of finding that death .\nthe world at an end , a young boy ' s dying mother sends him on a quest to find the place that grants wishes . the last boy is a sci fi drama inspired by the poetry of the 13th century sufi mystic and poet rumi .\nthis is a story of a man and a woman who try to defy the odds and prove to everyone that men and women can be just friends . sounds simple enough ; yet it becomes one of the most complicated journeys of all time for the two friends .\npreoccupied with personal matters , club owner and former singing sensation of the\ndiamondettes\n, geneva branch ( loretta devine ) has allowed her nephew taylor ( christian keyes ) to co -

and them ' not working ' . however , this has mostly lead to a sense of confusion because of a lack of trust of my own judgement . some of the concepts of the book i have been realising for myself , but without any ' reference ' or connected thinking and with a large helping of naivety , it is very difficult to get a handle on them on your own . this book has really helped to identify traits that i have - blindly and persistently - believed are ' good ' , despite them rarely working . if you go through life trying to please people , worrying about what others think of you and never * truly * putting yourself first then this book might be a real eye opener -

i reckon it ' s about five minutes on screen , between those two movies .\nin truth , he can barely remember his three days in jordan on the hurt locker .\nyet pearce is the sort of actor who comes without the encumbrance of a 24 - carat ego . quite happy to drop in on screen for a cameo \u2013 as he did for john hillcoat ' s the road , playing a bedraggled hobo \u2013 when he does take a lead , he ' s almost too modest to accept the applause .\nall the best performances i ' ve done\n\u2013 he cites chris nolan ' s ingenious backwards - thriller memento , in which he memorably played a memory - addled widower \u2013\ni haven ' t had to do one iota of work . i haven ' t had to work at creating something . as much as i try to accept the credit for good work , i certainly don ' t feel like it was my doing .\nhe plays support again in his new movie justice , a vigilante potboiler starring nicolas cage and mad men ' s january jones , who play husband and wife . after she ' s assaulted , cage ' s character , a mild - mannered teacher , is approached by the mysterious simon ( pearce ) , the leader of a group that takes the law into its own hands . his proposition is simple : does he want revenge on the man who attacked his wife ?\nsimon is someone who probably started out with a grudge against a judicial system he felt was failing , but begins to manipulate the situation to suit himself ,\nsays pearce .\ni think people are generally malleable , and for some it ' s harder to find the clarity between right and wrong .\nnot long after we met , pearce was awarded an emmy for his work on mildred pierce , beating off competition from paul giamatti , james woods and tom wilkinson . the first major award of his career , his acceptance speech was gloriously un - american .\nit really was a delightful experience making mildred pierce ,\nhe said .\ni got to have sex with kate winslet many , many times . and i didn ' t realise it was going to result in this . so kate , i share this with you , because you ' re an extraordinary woman . thank you for allowing me to insert myself in your world of mildred !\npearce moved with his mother and elder sister tracy to australia shortly afterwards , heading to geelong , near melbourne .\nwe lived a really hidden existence , and i ' ve just maintained that ever since . it was never a loud household . i was never overly social . i was pretty much on my own a lot of the time . i lived in my own little fantasy world .\nthe person he was closest to at the time was tracy , who has down ' s syndrome .\nthe relationship that she and i had , because of the special person she is , was on a totally different level to what i had with anyone else .\nacting came along when he was 10 , initially on stage in productions of alice in wonderland and the wizard of oz . by the time he left high school , he had an agent and his neighbours role lined up .\ni think my last exam was on a friday and i started neighbours on a tuesday or something . i had to move to melbourne in that weekend and suddenly become a professional person .\non the soap at its height , pearce saw first - hand what it meant to be famous .\nour faces were so fresh in people ' s minds . it was all about screaming teenagers . it wasn ' t hard to deal with but it was definitely a monstrous aspect of my life .\nif anything , it taught pearce what he didn ' t want from his career . rather than ply his trade as a hunk - for - hire , he snapped his neighbours image in two , playing a drag queen in the adventures of priscilla , queen of the desert , the cult comedy that has since inspired a hit stage show . brought to the attention of hollywood , curtis hanson then cast pearce as the self - righteous sergeant in his classy 1997 adaptation of james ellroy ' s la confidential . arriving at the same time as russell crowe , with whom he co - starred , pearce was rather eclipsed by his fellow antipodean .\nhe had other things on his mind that year , such as marrying his partner , kate mestitz , who he ' d known since childhood . they ' ve remained together ever since , despite pearce ' s peripatetic lifestyle .\nwe ' ve got pretty good at dealing with being apart from each other ,\nhe admits .\nbut we ' re in constant contact \u2013 texting each other all day every day .\nwith mestitz handling her own busy career as a psychologist , she and pearce made the decision not to have children .\ni believe you need to have a level of emotional consistency when you raise a child and i don ' t know that i have that . it would be unfair to inflict that on a child .\nsensitive and soulful , pearce takes everything to heart .\nyou just do all this work , and sometimes you work on k things and they ' re terrible and they end up getting massive publicity and everyone goes on about them and you think , ' argh ! christ ! why is this the one that everyone ' s going on about ? '\nlike the time machine , maybe ? the 2002 hg wells adaptation , with peace in the lead , was critically lambasted but still took $ 123m around the world . pearce shoots me a sly smile .\ni ' ll let you decide . i ' ve learnt not to be too vocal about the things i ' m disappointed in .\nso what was he angry about ?\ni was just angry about a lot of stuff ,\nhe sighs . not wanting to live in la . not wanting a career like tom cruise . he had a\nmini - nervous breakdown\n, as he calls it .\nas i got to the end of 2001 , and i realised i hated pretty much everybody that i came across , it wasn ' t so much a moment , i knew i was getting to a point where i was going to have to do something about this . i just had so much hate in me and i just couldn ' t stand being around anybody . and so i took myself off and i went to the north - western part of australia for a month , into the desert , and really just had a good look at myself .\nit ' s hard to imagine the placid pearce bottling up all this anger . his solution was to\nread about 1 , 000 books\n, most of them buddhist studies .\nit really just enabled me to kind of see life from a new perspective that essentially then gave me a few tools in how to handle life .\nhe says it didn ' t all get resolved in the desert . rather ,\nthat was the action that just got the ball rolling as far as getting things sorted out\n. so what did bring him peace ?\na lot of therapy . a wonderful wife . and not taking so many drugs . just having a good look at myself , and sorting myself out . and that stuff still bubbles away , and you ' re still tested by it at times .\nof course , the immovable system that is hollywood has remained the same \u2013 and pearce knows it .\ni don ' t feel like anything has changed with how hollywood works . but i ' m just much better at deflecting all of that rubbish , and doing what i want to do . and actually being able to laugh about it and feel ok about it . whereas back then i was , ' argh !

the being / beingness of film ? ) .\nas with fanon , french racism and colonialism may well have been instrumental in directing derrida ' s intellectual life . some of the strongest material in dick and kofman ' s film gives an insight into how derrida ' s formative experiences in algeria - where he was expelled from school by the anti - semitic wartime french government and attacked by former schoolmates - made him especially sensitive to covert meanings in texts .\na drama - documentary inspired by the post card by jacques derrida . theo marks works in a university department that is soon to be closed . his wife sophie , enigmatic and distant is in analysis . filmmaker joanna struggles to complete a film about the post card . these people are set on a collision course prompted by a series of letters that will change their lives . the film features a never before seen interview with derrida , alongside contributions from geoff bennington , j . hillis miller , sam weber , catherine malabou and ellen burt .\nderrida is a very controversial figure because a lot of people are simply confused as to what he was about , what he championed , and the importance and legacy of his work . historically , jacques derrida was an algerian jew - french citizen who truly revolutionized the 1960\u2019s intellectual environment .\nif you have any doubts about the film , just ask yourself how many other films have you seen about a renown modern philosopher .\nnotes : [ 1 ] derrida , jacques , la carte postale : de socrate \u00e0 freud et au - del\u00e0 . paris : flammarion , 1980 ; derrida , the post card : from socrates to freud and beyond . trans . alan bass . chicago : university of chicago press , 1987 .\ncriteria the adapting of a philosophical text into a film in order to perform and re - inscribe the philosophical problems presented by that text .\nderrida , with his mane of white hair , piercing gaze and pipe clenched between his teeth , may be the most watchable thinker since rodin ' s .\n[ font = century gothic ]\nderrida\nis a documentary about the noted philosopher and deconstructionist , jacques derrida . the film follows derrida in his daily life at home in paris and at work lecturing , and also to new york city and south africa to appear on panels . during which , he is constantly commenting on the artificiality of the whole situation of the documentarians trying to capture him looking as natural as possible . ( i imagine all documentaries have footage like this but it almost always ends up on the cutting room floor . ) this gives some insight into derrida ' s thinking , along with readings from some of his works . but it would have been nice to have some talking heads testifying about his influence within his chosen field . [ / font ]\nany documentary that ' s worth watching will have a thesis and be a little self - referential , but this film took that a little too far . i thought the film makers cherry picked what they were going to talk about too much . if you want to get to know the man ' s personality , watch this . if you want to know more about derrida ' s philosophy , it ' s probably better to start with a book .\nthis website is dedicated to the movie based on the life of jacques derrida , the famous french philosopher who championed the philosophy of post - structuralism and postmodernism .\nbut the film lacks dissenting voices , which is sad given that derrida ' s work is immensely controversial ( there remains a current in british philosophy , for instance , that regards him merely as a successful fraud ) . it is also unfortunate that we hear his work in affectless readings of his texts over ryuichi sakamoto ' s dull incidental music . and it is to varying degrees of edification that the film follows its subject around from lecture hall to apartment .\nthis is not to say that ' ' derrida ' ' is short on mr . derrida ' s weighty musings on life . gleaning insights about him through his interactions with others may seem like a superficial way into his mind , although it is entirely possible that mr . dick and ms . kofman understand that all they can offer about mr . derrida is a drive - by , a blur of a view that will leave a number of things indistinct . they seem to recognize that this documentary can give only a slice of their perceptions of mr . derrida , and he reminds us that he becomes a different person when the camera is on .\nthe film itself is fascinating in its use of self - reflexive narrative structure in which the filmmaking process is externalised as part of the narrative . the director is one of the characters and we witness the breakdown of the editing process , the inner workings of the film production office , revealing the labour of the film\u2019s production . at the same time we explore the central characters\u2019 lives and intertwining relationships , centring on the plot device of the discovery of secret love letters \u2013 letters which enable the film to examine the nature of communication and reception and how texts circulate independently of authorial intention . perhaps much like this review\u2026\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 confirms what derrida wrote years ago in memories for paul de man :\ndeconstruction is not an operation that supervenes from the outside , afterwards , one fine day . it is always at work within the work .\nthis must be distressing for film - makers like dick and kofman to realise - from the very beginning , their film was being taken apart from within . but that , it seems , is almost always the case when movie - makers tangle with philosophy .\nat the very least , if you don ' t know anything about derrida when you walk into the theater , you won ' t know much more when you leave .\nscenes of mr . derrida watching himself on tape , talking about how he met his wife , marguerite ( he is bashful and thoughtful as he ruminates on this experience ) , will probably bring to mind the mirror - within - a - mirror scritti politti song ' ' jacques derrida , ' ' with its querulous sense of propriety . but mr . dick and ms . kofman carefully layer folds of reality . ( later the subject is shown viewing film of himself watching the tape in which he watches the interview . )\nthe research statement situates the research clearly , giving ample evidence of originality , rigor and significance , and outlining how this practice research project creates new knowledge in the field of film / philosophy and practice / research . the work is situated well both in relation to the filmmaker\u2019s other research ( ontological narratives ) and to the field of film / philosophy ( both from the perspective of a philosophical discussion of film ; commercial films on philosophy and practice - based research projects interrogating filmic and philosophical production ) .\nauthor : joanna callaghan format : drama documentary duration : 1\u201920\u201d published : february 2016 winner of the british association of film , television and screen studies practice research award 2016 .\nin derrida , we see the french deconstructionist making breakfast , choosing a jacket and lighting his pipe . but films about philosophers haven ' t always been so lacking in action , says stuart jeffries\nthe peer reviews that follow were part of the baftss practice research awards shortlisting process as this volume is published in association with the british association of film , television and screen studies .\nthese sequences are representative of mr . derrida ' s school of thought , investigating the mind of a philosopher as a working , living biography and font of emotional understanding . at such points , ' ' derrida ' ' adds flesh to the icon , gently highlighting a quality attributable to many intellectuals : vanity . we see glimpses of this as mr . derrida prepares for his day - - he takes as much care in his appearance as he does with his ideas . by applying definition to both sides of the man , the picture realizes a fullness that does not negate the subject .\ni admit my own acquaintance with his work begins and ends with terry eagleton ' s astringent summary in the primer literary theory , in which derrida and the post - structuralists get accused of being culpably impotent in the face of political injustice - and indeed derrida is shown being enigmatic and evasive when questioned about his attitude to\nforgiveness\nat a lecture to an all - white audience at cape town university .\nderrida is jewish and says he is very vigilant about anti - semitism ; how this colours his readings of heidegger and paul de man we aren ' t told . but the movie rediscovers derrida as a prose poet ; kofman ' s readings of his work bring out its dreamy , meditative quality . the funniest moment comes when one interviewer catastrophically misjudges derrida ' s interest in pop culture and asks him about irony in seinfeld . she is rewarded with an eloquent , baffled grimace and the reply :\ndeconstruction does not produce any ' sitcom ' . stop watching your ' sitcom ' ; do your homework and read .\na similar problem , arguably , affected derek jarman ' s occasionally moving 1993 film wittgenstein . at least , the film ' s scriptwriter terry eagleton , then an oxford don , thought so .\nmy own script ,\nhe said ,\nstrikes me as reasonably strong on ideas but short on dramatic action ; jarman ' s , minus my own interpolations , seems to me just the other way round .\nbut such creative tensions , and potential for disappointment , are likely when someone heroically tries to make a film about philosophy - especially on a laughable \u00a3200 , 000 budget .\ninteresting documentary . as i reject french post - structuralism as a model for american academia , it is worth watching to understand the late derrida ' s background and how he came to question the assumptions of western philosophy .\nthe last context is the role and use of fictional narrative within practice - based research films . while my research experiments with narrative , it is not experimental film . rather i work with cinematic codes , as opposed to against . the use of fictional narrative is distinct in the field of film practice - based research and opens the research for a different set of considerations as opposed to documentary or experimental practice .\ndocumentaries cannot really do other than supply a fragment of a momentary truth , and ' ' derrida ' ' becomes a part of its deconstructionist subject ' s purview by observing its flaws as a forum and as a form .\nnote : if you dig into derrida , remember that he evolves , just like dylan . he was no spring chicken , either , when he passed away , so like bob , he ' d been evolving for many years .\ndirected by kirby dick and amy ziering kofman ;

' ' sick ' ' and ' ' derrida ' ' might suggest that mr . dick ' s primary interest is the dank side of life . viewers might fail to note that ' ' sick ' ' is as much about questioning perceptions of life , feeling and thought as ' ' derrida ' ' is .\nthe statement is thorough , succinct , and attends well to the requirements of each section . in addition to offering a discussion of the film , its intent , processes and context , it offers useful references to the range of other published work associated with the project such as web - based \u2018sketch - books\u2019 and the more traditional monograph . theoretical and artistic context are carefully considered , with a clear statement offered about the overarching research framework being one that brings together phenomenology , epistemology and film philosophy .\nindeed , to read andr\u00e9 bazin is more than to follow his film analysis . it is to taste his aesthetic taste , to sense his profound sense of intellectual balance , to feel his personal philosophy , his love for animals , and his devotional attitude to\ndick and kofman have set themselves a difficult task . if writing a philosopher ' s biography is indecent , then making a film about a philosopher - be it biopic or documentary - is all but impossible . in film , to be is to do ; in philosophy , to be is , if anything , to think . that is one reason bruce willis will never star in a biopic about immanuel kant , the great german philosopher who led a life so predictable that neighbours set their watches to his morning constitutional .\nthere is a clear coherence and harmony between both the supporting statement and screenwork \u2013 but the film itself ( and this is distinct to so many other pieces of practice - led enquiry ) stands up as an individual and compelling piece of practice - led scholarship .\na portrait of the brilliant and controversial french thinker , jacques derrida , and the themes that haunt and inspire his work . the founder of a school of critical thinking that radically questions the nature of texts , the reader , and the multiple layers of meaning at work in language , derrida ' s work has been a profound influence on analysis of literature , linguistics , philosophy , law and architecture . and although best known for his early work , this last decade has witnessed an outpouring of derridean thought on a broad range of subjects from justice to national identity .\nif derrida and postmodern thought interests you , you ' ll love it . i did . groen ' s review nails it : the picture ' s charm lies in the continuing by - play between the filmmakers and their subject , with each side doing its best to deconstruct the other .\nalong the absorbing way to this conclusion , the film observes its subject through his less than dense and foolishly likable admission of his lack of knowledge about many things . he is a hopeless neophyte on love , but is also a delighted flirt who loves toying with people and ideas .\nnope . it\u2019s going somewhere . and the destination is worth any effort the journey may require . this is the kind of film that makes you see other movies through fresh eyes and ask questions that might not normally occur to you during films that try to hide their storytelling seams .\nin 1996 , mil\u00e9na poylo and gilles sacuto created ts productions . in december 2004 , the company was awarded the independent production prize by ifcic , and the duo revelation trophy . ts productions also received seven c\u00e9sars for the feature film \u2018s\u00e9raphine\u2019 ( 2008 ) , directed by martin provost .\na speaker in a \u201csyrian dissident film collective\u201d tells an audience that when movie focuses on misery and blood , it can excite or numb viewers rather than awaken their empathy . he says filmmakers must \u201cfind a way to represent horror , to represent death , respecting the golden rule . \u201d a man in the audience respectfully argues the opposite . the argument remains unresolved , just like every other idea teased out in this unusual film , which is about the things it shows and doesn\u2019t show us , and all the good reasons for showing and not showing , remembering and forgetting .\nwell , that kid , in the history of western philosophy was derrida . he claimed that plato , for all the certainties that he laid down , is essentially just one person\u2019s view of reality ; that there are many other ways to look at reality ; and he started deconstructing plato to prove his point .\na celebrity follow - around for , arguably , the most important philosopher of the late 20th century . the film is not , in itself , a treasure house of intellectual content . . . you will not come away with a deepened understanding of differance , dissemination , etc . . . . but some nice moments . ( see his response to an interviewer ' s description of seinfeld . ) but he comes off as charming , thoughtful , sometimes wary of being a celebrity , a nice guy . for those of us who value his work , the film is a treat .\nick and ziering kofman ' s documentary about the daily life of deconstructionist philosospher jacques derrida turns out to be very entertaining . the handsome subject himself is engaging and distinctly cinematic , looking decades younger than his 70 - plus years , with a snow - white pompadour that we see being attended to at the hairdresser .\nhow do you film a beautiful mind ? in the film about john forbes nash junior , played by russell crowe , the inner life of the delusional mathematics genius was shown chiefly through febrile blackboard scrawling . the key problem for director ron howard was that there had to be a visual index to the goings - on in nash ' s head , otherwise his mental beauty would have remained obscure . but howard ' s chosen visual index was so banal that it conveyed little of the riches of his thought . great artistic imagination is clearly required , but that has been lacking in most films about intellectuals .\ntheo marks works in a university department that is soon to be closed . his wife sophie , enigmatic and distant is in analysis . filmmaker joanna struggles to complete a film about the post card . these people are set on a collision course prompted by a series of letters that will change their lives .\nto say that derrida has had a deep - seated , almost insidious impact on my life is no joke . he ' s always lurking in the back of my mind , a kind of undercover commentator , peeping out of my subconscious from beneath a grayish colored canvas tarp , waiting to pop up and insert a comment or two in any given situation .\nthe work has the potential to be highly impactful to a diverse range of audiences ( encompassing both students and scholars of multiple disciplines \u2013 philosophy , film studies , theatre studies , literature etc ) and is undoubtedly highly successful in its aim to provide a compelling argument of how narrative can play a convincing function in developing a coherent vision of a philosophical concept .\noutcomes the project is of interest to researchers across the arts and humanities because it concerns itself with the fundamental assumptions of the very idea of \u2018practice - based research\u2019 . the central research problematic that guides this work is : how might a creative text perform or produce knowledge as a theoretical counter - signature , rather than merely illustrate pre - existing philosophical ideas . it therefore addresses in an ambituous way a crucial aspect of practice - based research and so the film and the critical commentary that contextualizes it is of benefit not only to those engaged in practice - based film - making but all such researchers whose work addresses this problematic , in fine art , design , performance , music , and so on .

intuitive , and it skips between works , time periods , directors , western criticism , and eastern philosophy with gleeful abandon .\nif anything , it\u2019s just another voice in the crowd . it\u2019s neither here nor there . it is definitely in no way , shape or form , superior . that\u2019s where we are now , thanks in a large part to derrida because he called into question a lot of the things that a lot of people historically drew a lot of pride and , most importantly , a sense of certainty from .\nin a talk at new york university , jacques derrida took up this theme .\nclassical philosophers usually avoid biography because they believe it ' s indecent . philosophers shouldn ' t speak of themselves , they shouldn ' t present themselves as empirical beings . if we want to break with this classical philosophical action according to which philosophers shouldn ' t present themselves , then we have to be indecent to some extent .\nthe collage film \u201ccameraperson\u201d is one of the most original , challenging , sometimes infuriating documentaries of recent times . it\u2019s well worth seeing and arguing about , but only if you can give it your full attention and glean the internal logic that went into its construction . once you\u2019ve done that , you will never forget what the movie showed you , or your own guesses about why it showed it to you .\nthis was big stuff . a lot of the things that you enjoy in the movies , a lot of the things that you see in marketing , and definitely a lot of the current political and social trends in the united states and elsewhere , ranging from same sex marriage , gay rights , abortion rights , the whole nine yards , stems from the tremendous amount of changes aided by , if not unleashed , by derrida and other philosophers of that same period in history .\nhaving troubled the waters of history , nygren turns to derrida and deleuze ' s seemingly radical claim that cinema is language . in order to contextualize this claim in terms of japan , he moves backwards through their arguments by beginning not with film , but with the japanese language . written japanese is a complex conglomeration of kanji ( chinese characters ) , two phonetic syllabaries ( hiragana and katakana ) , arabic numbers , and even latin letters . thinking of written japanese as a language requires a radical rethinking of what constitutes writing and language itself . the study of kanji\u2014chinese characters used in japanese\u2014is\nheavily invested with ideological modes of language and abjection , in conflict with grammatological consideration\n( 62 ) . this is further complicated by kanji ' s own doubleness in the japanese context : it can be read doubly , as onyomi ( a phonetic reading connected to the character ' s chinese pronunciation ) and as kunyomi ( a native japanese reading ) .\njacques derrida was cutting - edge influential back when i was in school , and he continues to be taught widely in college classes right now . and it ' s not just philosophy courses , either . walk into a college bookstore and stroll the aisles . you can see him being taught in english , history , political science , education classes - - and on and on . an amazing man and an interesting portrait . his comments on biography / autobiography will be with me for a while .\nwittgenstein was one of a 12 - part series that tariq ali ' s bandung company developed for channel 4 in the early 1990s . only four scripts were eventually written , but they offer tantalising hints about what might have been . david edgar wrote a script on john locke that peter wollen was going to film ; ali himself wrote spinoza , the apostle of reason ; while howard brenton wrote a script about the life of socrates . whether we should lament the fact that these scripts were never realised on screen remains uncertain .\n. serge daney delivers his thrilling insight and ethical fervor in scrupulous but vital sentences unbound to academic formulas , thereby going beyond them . no film critic could be an auteur without the unique sensibility for writing itself . roger ebert\u2019s succinct rhythm with sharp punchlines exemplifies classical lessons on how to write well ; jonathan rosenbaum\u2019s expansive free - association embodies literary modernism in exploring the multilayered core of his topic ; jim hoberman\u2019s rhetorical bravura maximally condenses vast information and pungent criticality in a postmodern style of journalism . the list can go on . . .\none thing that has never been discussed regarding cinematic auteurism is the film critic as auteur . but look back closely . just as the \u201ccamera - pen\u201d became a new medium for expressing artistic authenticity in alexander astruc\u2019s view , so the real pen played the same role for him as critic . denouncing dad\u2019s cinema as dead , fran\u00e7ois truffaut not only consecrated original directors but also signaled the birth of a fresh , trenchant , passionate criticism by the son\u2019s generation . it only became wittier , more erudite and idiosyncratic in jean - luc godard\u2019s hand .\nthe many and varied outputs are an example of the fruitful interdisciplinary approach allowing for different entry points into the project from scholars and practitioners engaged in a range of areas . these include theoretical work , particularly in philosophy , cultural studies , literary studies , francophone studies , comparative literature , fine art , film studies and media studies and more generally a wider interdisciplinary audience who are concerned with theoretical issues of performance , adaptation , representation , mediation , interpretation , visuality and textuality . for this wider audience the concerns of the project address key touchstones in contemporary academic inquiry in the arts and humanities .\nhe ' s like a general contractor overseeing the construction project of my house - life , with me up on the scaffold , counting on him to steady it while i build to higher heights . i look down suddenly , and wouldn ' t you know it : instead of supporting the scaffold , he ' s lighting his pipe . i notice nothing but the dark bowl of that pipe . vertigo sets in . the bowl expands before me , a black and bottomless pit . is this the abyss . the scaffold rumbles and begins to shake apart . derrida puffs thoughtfully at his pipe . i fall headlong into blackness . . . nah , just kidding .\nin terms of philosophical content , the films contain subject matter derived from readings of philosophers , which are transformed into fictional stories . these stories centre on or pertain to human beings and linking them is the question of what it means \u2018to be\u2019 . the subject matter is transformed through a phenomenological inquiry present both in the human agent ( s ) and also in treating film ( process and outcome ) as an entity that can be used ( in the sense of heidegger\u2019s \u2018readiness to hand\u2019 ) , which has possibilities appropriate to itself ( and only to itself ) and which makes apparent the \u2018hiddenness\u2019 involved in the \u2018ontological difference\u2019 between \u2018being\u2019 and \u2018beings\u2019 .\nfor starters , \u201ccameraperson\u201d is an autobiography of sorts\u2014a life in filmed fragments that almost never shows the face of its main character , kirsten johnson , but spends a fair amount of screen time watching her mother succumb to alzheimer\u2019s disease . these heartbreaking moments connect with footage of johnson\u2019s two children . watching them grow up , we might wonder if johnson will one day lose her memory as well , and if these images may one day serve as a substitute for actual , physical memory\u2014the stories that a parent is no longer able to tell a child . we may also notice that the seeming - randomness of this film\u2019s construction is an analogy for how it feels to try to remember a life when one\u2019s mind has been fragmented by disease , or simply by age . maybe the movie is an analogy for how almost anyone\u2019s mind works , even in mint condition : remembrance is not linear , it jumps around .\n\u201cthe death of the author\u201d could then be reviewed as the death of the critic . in fact , the cinema\u2019s hall of fame has been shining with ever more directors - as - stars , whose authorship has survived all historical backlashes against auteurism and now function as brand name in both the commercial and critical markets of film reception . but the critic as auteur has become an endangered species especially in the digital age . to be a critic means little , when virtually anyone can scoop up widely distributed knowledge about films and expose criticism directly to global viewers in new media outlets , from websites to blogs and now social networks . the \u201cdo - it - yourself\u201d spirit is much more realizable in writing than filming , diluting the elitism of institutional criticism and democratizing the monopolized right to express . the ideal of freedom of speech , then , flattens a critic\u2019s authorial voice onto the limitless plane of innumerable voices , which do not need to listen or care about it .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

actions dominated her life . while the film isn\u2019t as promiscuous as one might imagine , baker \u2013 the real woman \u2013 is very much at the heart of it .\nthe film follows the life story of a young black woman from her childhood in a circus to adult success in the musical theater .\nthis list collects every film from the starting list that became they shoot pictures don ' t they ' s 1000 greatest films . this\u2026\nthere\u2019s more to allegret\u2019s film than simple wish - fulfillment . counter to your 42nd streets and golddiggers of 1933s , the musical numbers in this film solve very little ( if anything ) , and are instead showpieces only . zouzou\u2019s ultimate number \u2013 a sultry \u201chaiti\u201d which is at once nostalgic of anything - but - paris and emblematic of the whimsy and fantasy of that city \u2013 rivals a hayworth or dietrich in its star - making moment . sitting inside a huge cage on the stage ( the cage a nod to the birds zouzou frees from their cages earlier in the film ) she sings , scantily clad , about unrequited love and a desire for a lost land . though she gets the fame here , she doesn\u2019t get the guy , and sing as she might , the film seems to indicate , she\u2019ll still be a caged bird on display in paris rather than a free bird in manila or haiti .\n' the film enchants me . . . . everything seems easy , because i feel the story so very strongly . it all seems so real , so true , that i sometimes think it ' s my own life being played out on the sets ' ( josephine baker discussing her appearance in zouzou )\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\nthroughout\nzouzou ,\nyou sense that film was not baker ' s bag , that the lack of impulsive creativity must have dampened much of the charm she brought to the more spontaneous stage environment . but those last images at least give a glimmer of what she was and what the fuss was all about .\nit\u2019s the rare jean gabin film for me where he\u2019s not the main draw . his major period , which would begin 2 years after zouzou with renoir\u2019s the lower depths in 1936 , all the way through his final films in the 1970s , is littered with major hits . but in marc allegret\u2019s zouzou , it\u2019s josephine baker that demands all the attention . her filmography is about 1 / 9 the size of gabin\u2019s , but this vehicle ( advertised as \u201cbaker talks\u201d ! ) made her more the star than she already was .\nmy first josephine baker film and a fine romance . theres even murder involved , lord knows why . pleasant and innocuous until the end , it then disturbs with a gutpunch of loneliness .\nbaker ' s popularity was so huge that her handlers began looking for a larger stage than the risque parisian theaters where she strutted . in 1934 , partly because baker was curious about movies but mostly to capitalize on her fame , filming for\nzouzou\nbegan . the picture can be seen friday night at golden west college as the\ninternational film\nseries ends .\nouzou and jean , two orphans , are raised as brother and sister by circus artiste p\u00e8re m\u00e9l\u00e9 . many years later , they live together in paris , zouzou working as a laundress , jean as an electrician for a musical theatre , the folies . as zouzou pines for jean , he only has eyes for her fellow worker , claire . when jean is mistakenly arrested for attacking a man in the street , zouzou realises she needs money urgently to pay for a defence lawyer . she gets herself employed as the star attraction at the folies , replacing a famous dancer - singer who has just absconded to join her lover in brazil . overnight , zouzou becomes a sensation , but will she be in time to save her beloved jean . . . ?\ninstead of disgracing herself , as her enemies had hoped , she brings down the house . this is one of those rare occasions when a performance within a film matches the acclaim given it by the audience on the screen .\nwhat the audience is waiting for , of course , is for baker to take center stage in some huge production number . and that ' s just what you get as\nzouzou\nstrolls toward its grand finale .\nthe plot is simple , though it doesn\u2019t follow all of the regular structure of a typical hollywood backstage musical . baker is zouzou and gabin is jean . growing up in a carnival atmosphere as part of the \u201cfreak show\u201d ( where freak implies interracial brother and sister ) , they eventually move to paris where jean gets a job as an electrician at a local theater . zouzou realizes her love for him is more than sisterly , but he , in standard gabin tough - guy fashion , is either ignorant of her affection or just doesn\u2019t return it . zouzou is accidentally discovered by the theater producers and at the same time , jean is wrongly accused of murder .\nwith its expressionist lighting \u2013 particularly a scene at a bar and laundromat \u2013 that anticipates the noir - poetic realist hybrid of carne and renoir , zouzou is a standout cinematically and narratively . director allegret uses some bold match cuts , elaborate blocking , and montage - driven cross - cuts to stage his action . one particular moment , where allegret cuts between zouzou singing in the laundromat where she works and the current star of the musical barbara ( ill meery ) singing the same song on - stage is particularly effective , demonstrating how place can negatively affect passion ( ie performance ) and anticipating zouzou\u2019s inevitable rise to stardom ( as if the title weren\u2019t enough of a hint ) .\njosephine baker shines in this film , which features a sometimes befuddling plot . this is fine , since baker is the real attraction here . she ' s a magnetic performer , and one whose career i ' m very excited to explore further .\nthe match cuts and time compressions that allegret uses here \u2013 from a toy ship to a real ship ; from jean in jail to jean in paris ; from zouzou singing to barbara singing ; from a poster of barbara to a poster of zouzou \u2013 all imply a change for each character ( wish fulfillment ) , but remains male - dominated . it is jean whose wishes are fulfilled . he gets to ride a ship , go to paris , and leave with the woman he loves . each of these moments is implied via the match cut / time compression . it\u2019s zouzou whose wishes are only partially fulfilled , where the match cuts surrounding her character are more to move to the obligatory musical number than to solve anything narratively .\nzou zou is a creole laundress , brought up in the circus along with her foster brother , jean . she yearns for a life onstage , and longs for the love of jean , who falls for her best friend . zouzou manages to save jean from a false\u2026\nonce jean is on land , the everyday events ( zouzou gets a job in a laundry but frequents the playhouse where jean works as a stage manager ) are mundane and static . zouzou ' s love is frustrated as jean falls for one of her friends , and that ' s about it as far as conflict goes in carlo rim ' s screenplay . but every now and then , baker gets moments to show off her comic flair , especially the mix of physicality ( an eccentric , akimbo dancing ) and a gamin ' s innocence .\nas children , zouzou and jean are paired in a traveling circus as twins : she ' s dark , he ' s light . after they ' ve grown , he treats her as if she were his sister , but she ' s in love with him . in paris , he ' s a music hall electrician , she ' s a laundress who delivers clean underwear to the hall . she introduces him to claire , her friend at work , and the couple fall in love . jean conspires to get the show ' s star out of town and for the theater manager to see the high - spirited zouzou perform . when jean ' s accused of murder and zouzou needs money to mount his defense , she pleads to go on stage . her talents may save the show , but can anything save her dream of life with jean ?\nof course baker is top - billed , but check out that image . it\u2019s a bit racist in a \u201csavage\u201d kind of way , and is actually more concerned with representing baker\u2019s banana dance , which makes its way into the film only indirectly , than it is with anything plot - related .\nwould be just another run - of - the - mill musical melodrama struggling to imitate its american cousin . even with baker giving it all she has , much of the film is a chore to sit through , and it only comes to life when its star begins doing what she does best , dancing and singing with the raw energy of a typhoon .\nwhen\nzouzou\ncame out in 1935 , st . louis - born josephine baker was a cultural phenomenon in france , her adopted country . she was a song - and - dance comedienne with an appeal both exotic and common . by making the most of her talents , and by generating sparks through expert image - making , baker was the madonna of her day , the queen of the demimonde .\nwe ' re first introduced to baker after seeing her character , zouzou , as a pretty little girl who lives with the carnival and is entranced by the image she sees in a hand mirror . soon , she ' s all grown up and eager for her childhood companion , jean ( the great jean gabin , looking uncomfortable and mildly confused here ) , whom she loves , to return from his life as a sailor .\nfrom tcm zou zou ( 1934 ) the french film zou zou ( 1934 ) is a rare opportunity to see one of the great african - american entertainers of the 20th century . josephine baker , known primarily as a singer / dancer on the stage , cabaret , and music halls , made only a handful of films , and zou zou was her personal favorite , the closest , she said , to whom she was in real life .\na film to exploit the popularity of the ' creole ' cabaret artist josephine baker . and she is the light driving this . sadly there is not much else making it interesting then to see the famous lady do a rare movie project . jean gabin is more or less anonymous and the plot . . . . not sure that was . baker is a cleaner and ends up in a show singing about haiti . . . . and some random situations happens without much context .\nbecause of baker ' s significance in france ,\nzouzou\nis historically intriguing , one of the few documents of a rare career . as art , though , it ' s only a curiosity , a footnote in french cinema . even as entertainment , it ' s sporadic , with little dramatic push and only the barest of a plot contrived to set up baker ' s few spotlighted scenes . but we do get to see baker perform , and that ' s something .\ndirected by : blandine lenoir produced by : local films genre : fiction -

born dancer who , in the mid - 1920 ' s , became one of france ' s greatest cabaret stars . when she died in 1975 after suffering a stroke , miss baker was just four days into the run of a new paris revue celebrating her 50 years as an entertainer . her funeral service was held in the church of the madeleine .\nmovies were only an occasional diversion for miss baker , who , as a black performer , was far more highly regarded abroad than she was at home , at least until near the end of her career . she was a stunning - looking woman who wasn ' t conventionally beautiful . her face was too round and the chin too small for her to succeed simply as an exotic femme fatale .\nnevertheless , she managed to parlay her considerable assets as a dancer , singer and comedienne into a remarkable career . her flamboyant personality was best expressed in her cabaret appearances in which , when she started out , she wore as little as the law allowed , mostly bananas or feathers .\nin ' ' princess tam tam , ' ' miss baker , as alwina , a saucy bedouin beggar , catches the eye of max , a blocked french novelist who has come to tunis to live among ' ' the savages ' ' and find inspiration for a new book . the charmed max decides to write a novel about alwina , in which he acts as pygmalion to her galatea .\nhaving taught alwina how to walk , speak and dress like a lady , max accompanies her to paris , where he introduces her as ' ' princess tam tam from india . ' ' his principal purpose is to make his wife jealous , but alwina , with her couture wardrobe and ingenuous manners , becomes the toast of paris .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\non this fairly primitive frame , written by pepito abatino ( miss baker ' s husband at the time ) , edmond t . greville , the director , constructed a lighthearted entertainment that well serves the star . the star also somehow manages to serve it and to send it up at the same time . she ' s a delight , especially in two of her musical numbers .\nin one , she takes over the floor of a low - life sailors ' bar to sing and dance with an abandon that thoroughly shocks the society snobs who have dropped in to slum . in the other , having been plied with drink during a paris ball , she can ' t deny the beat of the tom - toms . again princess tam tam makes a spectacle of herself doing what comes naturally .\nshe tears off most of her clothes and leads the orchestra and chorus in a big , hilarious production number that owes a lot to hollywood ' s busby berkeley . she jumps , slides , shakes her shoulders and swings her hips , using her bare arms and legs to describe primitive passions that supposedly set her audience free .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nzou zou tries to help her childhood friend prove his innocence after he ' s accused of murder .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\njosephine baker was born today . . . watch\njosephine baker -

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

before - seen footage\u201d from the primaries through the debates to the dawning realization that trump would win the presidency .\ntold entirely without narration ,\nyou ' ve been trumped\ncaptures the cultural chasm between the glamorous , jet setting and media savvy donald trump and a deeply rooted scottish community , whose local dialect demands a liberal use of subtitles . what begins as an often amusing clash of world - views grows increasingly bitter and disturbing .\n' you ' ve been trumped ' is remarkably well - made considering its minuscule budget , with the editing simple and effective , showing the idiocy of trump and co . without using the more dramatic and attention -

the - scenes footage \u2014 trump backstage at a rally , a one - on - one interview on his private jet , john podesta at a trendy brooklyn restaurant \u2014 fatigue gives way to curiosity , and the circus draws us in again .\n\u201cbe thrilled that there are films such as these being made . it is a near perfect expression of its artistic form . . . . . it is only now that the authorities ( in politics , the media and the police ) are sitting up and questioning their own actions . only right now , when the film has won many awards . \u201d\nhowever , my colleague , paul cheshire , professor emeritus of economic geography at london school of economics and political science , carried out his own assessment of the economic case for the development of the menie estate for you ' ve been trumped . he was surprised to find that the scottish government had not commissioned its own independent analysis of the likely benefits \u2013 instead , the government relied on an economic impact assessment carried out for tigl by strathclyde university .\nwith the same before the broadcast of my first film , back in 2012 . but what makes trump\u2019s latest threat all the more terrifying is that he could soon hold the keys to the white house . can you imagine a world where the president of the united states was throwing around lawsuits just because he objected to what was printed or broadcast about him ?\nsundance also today added the nicholas hoult and danny huston drama newness directed by fest vet drake doremus to the festival . doremus\u2019 like crazy won the grand jury prize at sundance 2011 and the director had films in the fest in previous years . newness is produced by doremus , scott free and lost city with worldwide sales being held by uta independent film group .\nthe film ' s director , anthony baxter , throws a spotlight on the contemptuous way in which trump deals with the residents , one of whom he describes , with characteristic rudeness , as living in\na slum\nand\na pigsty\n. baxter finds himself subject to shockingly hostile treatment by police as he attempts to record the concerns of the residents .\nno official word on when trumped will debut at sundance , but i hear january 23 had been penciled in as the first of several screenings . we do know for sure that the day after the inauguration , sundance vet chelsea handler is schedule to lead a women\u2019s march down park city\u2019s main street . marches are planned in los angeles , san francisco , washington dc , new york city and all over the country to protest the new commender - in - chief .\n\u201ca superb and shocking film , one that presents a well formulated and highly credible indictment of the scottish government ' s disregard for its constituents , and is an expose of trump ' s greed and his utter disregard for local folk , culture and traditions . . . the highlanders are determined to withstand trump . the situation makes for some powerful real life drama . \u201d\nperhaps a result of the film\u2019s quick turnaround time , there is an element of extended wikipedia entry in its structure . the directors cover off on the requisite beats , starting with trump\u2019s underdog status as contender for republican nominee and moving forward . americans who followed the election reasonably closely will likely feel they\u2019ve seen this stuff before , though that\u2019s not the case for all audiences .\nfinally , for me , the highlight of the film was the civilian , played by mark rylance , who took it upon himself to steer his pleasure craft to the french coastline to rescue his fellow countrymen . this old man seems to be the moral center of the film . he has his reasons for his great courage , conveyed in the final reel , but i found his one quote the most compelling \u2014 for reasons most best defenders will recognize . midway across the channel he is asked by a shell - shocked soldier , why he is risking death to press on to dunkirk . his response is one for the ages . \u201cmen my age dictate this war . why should we be allowed to send our children into it ? \u201d enough said .\nif you\u2019re in the camp that staunchly opposes donald trump for president , it\u2019s easy to watch a minor documentary like \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped too\u201d and think of it in the \u201cevery little bit helps\u201d category . that said , a nonfiction filmmaker who wants his piece of the trump phenomenon now faces a major hurdle . the candidacy of donald trump \u2014 the belligerent bluster ! the cracked policy statements ! the sexual accusations ! \u2014 has not exactly been an underexposed story over the last eight months . if you\u2019re going to ask an audience to sit through 80 more minutes of trump , you have to offer something new . anthony baxter , the director of \u201cyou\u2019ve been trumped too , \u201d does ( sort of ) : he serves up a situation , in scotland , that would work just fine as a new york times feature that took three - and - a - half minutes to read . the movie makes a good point , then makes it over and over again .\nthe so - called\ntrue\nstory of john paul jones appeared in film in 1959 as american battleships were poised to enter foreign waters during the cold war . just as president teddy roosevelt dug up jones ' body in 1905 to promote his great white fleet , the\nfather of the american navy\nwas used once again as a symbol of the highest american ideals .\nthe movie received lackluster reviews , but it does offer a surprisingly accurate summary of jones ' life . it has also become , in the last half century , the only full length feature film to depict the captain\u2019s life and exploits . stack plays jones as a revolutionary war elliot ness , nearly untouchable , unshakable in battle , and justifiably angry at a corrupt and ungrateful world .\nif hillary clinton had won the election ( sorry , i didn\u2019t mean to depress you ) , \u201c trumped : inside the greatest political upset of all time \u201d would never have played at sundance , because it wouldn\u2019t have existed . the movie , which was pieced together in record time , is a sharp , fun , disquieting , and fleetly edited chronicle of the entire campaign year , inside and outside the media bubble , with the focus held obsessively on donald trump \u2019s rise .\nnot really . claims that trumped deliver the goods vis - \u00e0 - vis genuine insider material are , however , fair dinkum . there is nothing sizzling or revelatory in store ( to be fair , trump can surely \u2013 hopefully \u2013 no longer shock us ) . but there\u2019s quite a bit of the now - president talking mano - a - mano to either heilemann or halperin , sometimes away from the rest of the media scrum , and a lot of behind the scenes footage ."]}

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

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

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

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

( click image to enlarge . )\njoe gould\u2019s secret , joe mitchell\u2019s classic portrait of an astute but deluded bohemian in postwar greenwich village , has been picked over for half a century by literary critics , fact - checkers , college professors , and ordinary readers . one abiding mystery has long been the identity of the anonymous heiress who kept the down - and - out gould housed and fed throughout the late 1940s . that mystery has now been solved .\ntake an hour or two to read about one of the more fascinating street characters that haunted the greenwich village streets in the first half of the 20 th century . this was a time when painters and poets , novelists and other artists made the village their home and workplace , and joe gould was one of those . well , sort of \u2013 that\u2019s joe gould\u2019s secret after all . for joe gould , the son and grandson of boston doctors would describe to nearly all he met his grand project \u2013 to write an oral history of his t\nthe action takes place in new york city in the 1940s , joe gould died in 1957 , and joe mitchell wrote the book \u201cjoe gould\u2019s secret\u201d in 1964 to reveal the secret . i lived in new york in the 1940s and redd the book when it first came out . i found the book better than the movie , for the following reason : the climax of the story comes when the secret is reveal . after that the book comes to an end fairly quickly with a brief summing up . but the movie continues on for about 30 minutes , diminishing the dramatic impact . thus it becomes a biography of joe gould , rather than a good dramatic story of the revealing of his secret . it could have profited from some extensive editing . there are many excellent features of the movie ( which other reviewers have mentioned ) but i only gave it 3 stars instead of 4 because of what it might have been .\nin\njoe gould ' s secret ,\ntucci opens the possibility that gould was a sham , that he was only pretending to be writing his epic , just as truman capote later did with\nanswered prayers .\ntucci , who directs with quiet affection and rare restraint , also plays joseph mitchell , the reserved journalist who befriended gould and introduced him to his readers .\naround 1940 , the new yorker staff writer joe mitchell meets joe gould , a greenwich village character , who cadges meals , drinks , and contributions to the joe gould fund , and who is writing a voluminous oral history of the world , a record of twenty thousand conversations he ' s overheard . mitchell is fascinated with this harvard grad , and writes a 1942 piece about him ,\nprofessor seagull\n, bringing gould some celebrity , and an invitation to join the greenwich village ravens , a poetry club he ' s often crashed . gould ' s touchy , querulous personality and his frequent dropping in on mitchell for hours of chat , lead to a break - up , but the two joes stay in touch until gould ' s death , and mitchell ' s unveiling of the secret .\nwe welcome your comments on the swedish film database . you can reach the editors :\ndoes anyone out there agree with me that joe was never invited to join the ravens ? i believe this non - fact bled over from the movie into the literature . at joe ' s funeral and in the death notice of the head raven , they were still taking about joe ' s failure to be admitted . only articles by people who saw the movie mention this supposed part of joe ' s life . or so i have found - comments ?\ni ' m reading mitchell ' s book , up in the old hotel , and came across the professor seagull piece in mcsorley ' s wonderful saloon . this caused me to dig deeper into the story of joe gould .\n\u201cjoe gould\u2019s secret\u201d ran in consecutive issues of the new yorker in september 1964 . published the next year as a book , it was , famously , mitchell\u2019s final published piece ( though he reported to the office most days until his death in 1996 ) . it was also his finest\u2014a \u201cmasterpiece , \u201d as new yorker editor david remnick later characterized it .\nan observant evocation of new york\u2019s literary and bohemian world of more than a half - century ago , \u201cjoe gould\u2019s secret\u201d remains sympathetically engaging even as it sporadically stumbles on its journey through the streets , saloons and salons of greenwich village . distinguished by a fine central performance by ian holm as the titular true - life \u201ccharacter , \u201d a shabby [ \u2026 ]\ntucci ' s direction dwells on 1940 ' s greenwich village with bohemian romanticism . gould lived off the kindness of admirers , snagged between a bizarre novelty and a legitimate visionary . sir ian holm plays gould to the hilt , by turns eloquent and unstable . tucci fences himself in somewhat , over - internalizing his film ' s evocative nostalgia .\nall my life i have recired these lines\u2013\u201cin the winter i\u2019m a buddhist , in the summer i\u2019m a nudist\u201d joe gould has given me alot .\nas for mitchell , he finds he can\u2019t shake the man he\u2019s put in the limelight , who turns up at his office anytime he wants , seeking full attention and generally being a nuisance . this finally provokes a sad but necessary confrontation that incidentally uncovers the secret of gould\u2019s life .\nhoward a . rodman \u2019s intelligent , well - judged screenplay is based on mitchell\u2019s two new yorker stories about gould , the first of which made the man a mini - celebrity when it appeared in 1942 ; the second , much longer piece , published in 1964 , seven years after gould\u2019s death , disclosed far more about the author\u2019s long and erratic involvement with his subject , in addition to revealing the \u201csecret\u201d that no one else knew .\nleft , gould enjoys a drink on the cover of mitchell\u2019s 1965 book based on his new yorker profiles of gould . right , the memoir of muriel gardiner , the heiress who served as gould\u2019s anonymous benefactress for years . , from harvard university archives , hud 311 . 04 .\nera a crian\u00e7a catarrosa ; era o filho que sabia que tinha desiludido o pai ; era o lingrinhas , o micr\u00f3bio , o fedelho , o meia -

wrote , as well as starred in the van gogh remake of this film .\nin conclusion , instead of getting a good - for - laughs , lighthearted date movie , audiences get a pathetic and demystified view of how screen celebrities really live . while making fun of film school flakes , hotheaded divas , and nervous film executives brings some laughs , the thin plot and the fractured fairytale ending ultimately sour the film .\nprimarily a movie about relationships entrenched in an era , joe gould ' s legendary tome\noral history of the world\nlies thick in the plot . he claimed it to be the century ' s great literary work , an erudite mix of conversation , essay , philosophy , and the city ' s unconscious . he refused to show it to anyone , including mitchell . this little film is fine , evoking an enigma with style and care .\nnow a major motion picture starring ian holm , hope davis , and stanley tucci , who also directs . joseph mitchell was a legendary new yorke r writer and the author of the national bestseller up in the old hotel , in which these two pieces appeared . what joseph mitchell wrote about , principally , was new york . in joe gould , mitchell found the perfect subject . and joe gould ' s secre\njoe gould ( 1889 \u2013 1957 ) quem \u00e9 joe gould ( joseph ferdinand gould ) ? joseph mitchell ( 1908 \u2013 1996 ) um jornalista da m\u00edtica revista norte -

directed with campbell scott , was a perfect little masterpiece about an italian restaurant run with too many ideals and not enough customers . here he ' s made a chamber piece of quiet scenes , acutely heard dialogue and subterranean emotional shifts . ian holm ' s role as joe gould is the flashy one , and some viewers will be fooled into thinking the film is about gould . but he isn ' t the one who changes . he is himself from beginning to end , repeating the same notes , sometimes touchingly , sometimes maddeningly .\nalthough the picture doesn\u2019t pursue the psychological aspects of mitchell\u2019s fascination with gould or try to explain why the author allows himself to become so consumed by his subject\u2019s life , there is an implicit sense of \u201cthere but for the grace of god\u2026\u201d in mitchell\u2019s feelings for gould . by expanding the range to include mitchell\u2019s wife , pic offers three characters who capture street - level life in new york city in their own ways , each equally valid .\nhe didn\u2019t apologize in \u201cjoe gould\u2019s secret . \u201d in vintage mitchell form , he instead identified with his betrayer . as he later said in an interview , he held gould up as an emblem of \u201cso many people who bit off more than they could chew\u201d : in gould\u2019s unrealized opus , mitchell saw a parallel to the big new york city novel that remained trapped in his own head . yet thanks to the constraints of nonfiction , he got many parts of that book out in other ways during a time of flux in journalistic standards . in his depictions of the people and places of an already disappearing new york , mitchell sought to elevate their daily routines into something universal . he saw the city itself , in kunkel\u2019s words , as a \u201cbig , messy , living novel . \u201d david remnick , the new yorker \u2019s current editor , has called mitchell\u2019s portraits \u201cas pointed , various , and haunted as the stories in dubliners . \u201d\nmitchell wrote that he realized the truth after introducing gould to several publishers that had expressed interest in publishing excerpts of the work . ( gould had claimed that he had been rejected by 14 publishers and had hidden the manuscript for safekeeping during the war . ) mitchell confronted gould with the truth , and gould only replied , \u201cit\u2019s not a question of laziness . \u201d mitchell returned to his office at the new yorker :\ndavid thomson is the author of the new biographical dictionary of film and the moment of psycho : how alfred hitchcock taught america to love murder .\nhis film salutes the spirit of gould and asks if a man of such extravagant idiosyncrasy could be appreciated today , and not dismissed . played by holm , he ' s an entertaining figure , but a tragic one : a man of enormous gifts who lacked the emotional apparatus to turn those gifts into work .\nthe \u201coral history\u201d did not exist , although mitchell didn\u2019t realize the truth until years later . the legend of the \u201coral history\u201d survived gould himself . on aug . 20 , 1957 , two days after gould\u2019s death at age 68 , the new york times published an obituary of gould , by the associated press , which reported , in part :\nthe film is too lackluster and inconsequential to pack any punch . director tucci ' s mise -

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ]\nwhile the subjects are different , what conspiracy theories about president obama\u2019s birthplace , the 9 / 11 attacks , contrails from jet planes , vaccination , and climate change have in common is that they tell us that an incredibly large number of people\u2014in government , in the media , and in cowspiracy \u2019s case , in science and the environmental community as well , have agreed to hide a key piece of information from the public .\nkuhn : the response for the film has been amazing . we\u2019ve had people from all across the globe write us who have seen the film through theatrical screenings , educational screenings , or through our website \u2014 the previous version of the film . it\u2019s just been incredible , an unbelievable outpouring of support , and we think fans of cowspiracy are really going to love this new edit of the film that\u2019s going to be exclusively on netflix .\nmany of the criticisms of \u201ccowspiracy\u201d raised in this article were addressed during the vetting of the documentary by leonardo dicaprio\u2019s team prior to its netflix release . i respectfully disagree with the specific criticism of the late dr . robert goodland and jeff anhang\u2019s environmental assessment of the impact of livestock production . there was a scientific debate about their result in the animal feed science and technology journal and here\u2019s a summary with links to the original papers :\ncowspiracy : the sustainability secret is a feature -

opening as blackfish and as inspiring as an inconvenient truth , this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large - scale factory farming has on our planet .\nmovies like cowspiracy aren\u2019t believable , not only because of how they twist the science , but also because of what they ask us to believe : that the fossil fuel industry\u2014 the exxonmobils of the world \u2014aren\u2019t the main cause of global warming ; that the transition to clean energy isn\u2019t what matters most for our future and our grandchildren\u2019s ; and that thousands of scientists have covered up the truth about the most important environmental issue of our time .\ntop off the fair with a visit to the ovec office , just up the street at 725 14 th street west . join us from 4 : 15 to 5 p . m . for a meet and greet reception . refreshments served . at 5 we\u2019ll screen fridays at the farm , a short film ( 19 minutes ) . at 5 : 30 we\u2019ll screen cowspiracy : the sustainability secret . there\u2019s limited seating , so come early .\nmovie night at my house last weekend , featuring cowspiracy . the name says it all . the 2014 / 2015 movie by that name\u2014\u201cthe film that environmental organizations don\u2019t want you to see , \u201d according to its website \u2014has uncovered an immense conspiracy between governments and the world\u2019s biggest environmental organizations , to deceive the public about the principal cause of global warming . but the film\u2019s premise is based on badly flawed\u2014and almost unanimously rejected\u2014interpretations of science . let me explain\u2026\nare environmentalists afraid of stepping in cow dung ? the documentary film cowspiracy contends that large environmental groups are turning a blind eye to the harmful effects cattle have on ecosystems and human health . environmentalists bristle at the charge and point to work promoting vegan and vegetarian diets and campaigns against factory farms and other aspects of the animal agriculture industry . the film , which was backed by leonardo dicaprio , presents \u201ca sensationalist conspiracy where none exists , \u201d according to greenpeace executive robin oakley .\nwe all share cowspiracy ' s concerns about the environmental impact of animal agriculture and it ' s great that these issues are being given more attention . however , our us office declined to take part in this project as they felt sure our position would be misrepresented ( as it has been for several other organisations featured in the film ) . but sadly our reasons for not taking part have been misrepresented as well , in an attempt to create a sensationalist conspiracy where none exists .\nit\u2019s perfectly possible to make a powerful environmental case against the meat and dairy industry without using made - up numbers . a lot of the rest of cowspiracy does just that \u2013 the film is packed with plenty of real facts about the dreadful deforestation , water use , and local environmental damage caused by animal agriculture . but there\u2019s another major problem with the documentary : it\u2019s built on the assumption that persuading western people to change their lifestyles is the best way to save the world .\ncowspiracy ignores this broad consensus , and indeed scientists are practically absent among the many talking heads in the film . it\u2019s telling that although there are lots of statements of supposedly scientific numbers , the people making those statements aren\u2019t identified as scientists , but rather by tags such as \u201cenvironmental and ethics author , \u201d \u201cenvironmental and food author , \u201d \u201cenvironmental researcher and author , \u201d \u201cgreenpeace alaska founder , \u201d \u201cformer whole foods market executive , \u201d \u201cformer cattle rancher , \u201d and \u201cveganic farmer . \u201d\nkip andersen , co - producer / director of\ncowspiracy : the sustainability secret ,\nconsidered himself to be an environmentalist . he recycled to reduce waste , took quick showers to save water , supported several environmental organizations . then\ni did some research and discovered all these incredible things - - rainforest destruction , species extinction - - can all be tied to animal agriculture . jeez , this is the cause ?\nand if so , why was no one talking about it ?\ncoming up next : as i mentioned in my last blog post , i\u2019m going to do a short series of reviews on recent books and movies related to beef and climate change . this review of cowspiracy is the first of the series , and as you can guess , it\u2019s about a movie that is fiercely anti - beef . the next two posts in the series will be about books : in defense of beef by nicolette hahn niman , and cowed by dennis and gail boyer hayes .\nafter cowspiracy co - director , kip andersen watched the documentary an inconvenient truth about the catastrophic impacts of global warming , he started following the advice of all of the major environmental organizations \u2013 composting , recycling , switching lightbulbs , shorter showers , bicycling over driving , you know the drill . but when he discovered that animal agriculture plays a larger role in environmental destruction than even the fossil fuel industry , he was shocked that the organizations that he had been supporting had not even mentioned it .\nfor many of the ngo\u2019s , the film makers didn\u2019t contact the correct people within these ngo\u2019s . here\u2019s a link to a podcast of a debate urltoken between kip from cowspiracy and nicolette hahn niman where this is mentioned by one of the people within one of those ngo\u2019s not contacted . additionally in this podcast several of these ngo\u2019s and others got to finally confront kip about the film . kip not only lied to people what the film was about , he heavily edited the interviews to fit his agenda .\ncowspiracy : the sustainability secret is a groundbreaking feature - length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker kip andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today and investigates why the world ' s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it . as eye - opening as blackfish and as inspiring as an inconvenient truth , this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large - scale factory farming has on our planet , and offers a path to global sustainability for a growing population .\ni recently had the pleasure of viewing new video of kip andersen and keegan kuhn cowspiracy : the sustainability secret . the basic question these two film makers ask is why the contribution of livestock to ecosystem degradation is missing from the world\u2019s environmental agenda . to find the answer they set out to interview environmental leaders as well as others to see if they could find the answer . the video is well researched and illustrated . but more than that , it is also entertaining . you will enjoy this video .\ni think the guy that made cowspiracy was a very passionate man who had made a life time commitment to environmental causes and made lifelong personal sacrifices to help the planet and became a david to the goliath of the animal agriculture industry in america where the king of the environmental movement greenpeace stood shaking in their boots to speak out against the giants of animal agriculture . if those who are meant to stand against the giants of corruption don ' t stand , god will send a david to defeat the giant .\njoining us from san francisco to discuss the impacts of animal agriculture on the global environment are kip anderson and keegan kuhn . kip and keegan are the coproducers of the documentary film cowspiracy , which came out this summer , is being released on dvd this month , and is currently available for streaming on their website . kip is an award - winning designer , documentary filmmaker , and entrepreneur who\u2019s built more than a dozen businesses . and keegan is an award - winning documentary filmmaker , videographer , and professional musician .\nboucher claims that the creators of cowspiracy gave the impression that various environmental groups are part of a conspiracy because they don\u2019t accept that livestock are responsible for 51 % of global emissions . however , the issues discussed in the movie with those organisations extended well beyond that one . for example , when the interviewer questioned the sustainability of industrial scale fishing with geoff shester of oceana ( 26 : 50 ) , and rainforest destruction with lindsey allen of the rainforest action network ( 31 : 30 ) , the 51 % figure was not mentioned .\nappreciate your candid admission of bias . i knew cowspiracy would set off a statistics - war - counter - stats , counter - counter - stats , on and on . . . even if they are off by a factor of 2 or 3 - so what ? but you have nothing to fear from the movie - factory farming , yes , but not the movie . we americans will not lift a finger to save ourselves . given the state of the economy , we won ' t be buying much grass - fed beef either .\nsince the 51 % figure is key to the film\u2019s conspiracy theory , let\u2019s look at the study that it comes from . ironically , in light of cowspiracy \u2019s thesis that environmental ngos are hiding the science , this study proposing this figure on which they rely so heavily was not published in a scientific journal , but in a report by an environmental organization , the worldwatch institute . the report\u2019s authors , jeff anhang and the late robert goodland , were not named in the movie but were described simply as \u201ctwo advisers from the world bank . \u201d\nthanks bevan - the response did seem rather weak . before seeing cowspiracy i thought vegan / vegetarianism was about not hurting animals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . it is so much broader an issue . the directors may have taken some liberties but the message needs to be heard and it does seem those agencies we trust to tell us these things have not been strong enough in conveying it . we need to change direction with our diet not just for personal health benefits but to protect our beautiful planet .\nby focusing on veganism to the exclusion of all else , cowspiracy implies that if any of these frontline defenders \u2013 including the murdered brazilian land rights campaigners mentioned in the film \u2013 eat meat then they\u2019re not \u2018proper\u2019 environmentalists . this is deeply offensive and exclusive , and also ignores the cultural importance of hunted meat in many indigenous societies . to build the genuinely international climate movement we desperately need , northern campaigners need to think carefully about the language they use to challenge the industrial livestock industry , and avoid sweeping statements that ignore the struggles of millions of people across the world .\nhowever a growing number of environmentalists are praising cows and claim they can be climate healers rather than the villains they are often made out to be . they contend that a cow\u2019s methane - rich burps can be offset if cattle grazing patterns are carefully managed . the result , they say , can be pretty landscapes and healthy soil that stores both carbon and water . is that just spin from cattle ranchers ? does cowspiracy use green groups as a foil to make a sensational film to generate buzz ? a conversation about the future of an american icon in the age of climate disruption .\nkip andersen\u2019s awakening as a filmmaker came as a result of an inconvenient truth . after seeing the film , he dramatically changed his lifestyle and believed he was doing everything he could to help the planet . but his life took a different direction when he found out animal agriculture is the leading cause of environmental destruction . together with keegan kuhn he co - produced his first film , cowspiracy : the sustainability secret , which became an overnight viral success and ignited the environmental movement . following this success , he was invited to speak in front of the european parliament and a new cut , executive produced by leonardo dicaprio , was exclusively released on netflix in september 2015 .\nwhy only mention fossil fuels ? why not the inefficiency of livestock for nutritional purposes ? why not discuss the nitrogen cycle disruption ( steffen et al . 2015 science ) , biodiversity loss ( & rainforest destruction ) ( erb et al . 2016 nature communications ) , the amount of global agricultural land taken up by livestock ( it\u2019s 75 % , foley et . 2011 nature ) ? why focus solely on greenhouse gases , when cowspiracy : the sustainability secret discusses far more effects of the livestock industry ? yes , the 50 % ghg is derived from a much contested study , but to discredit the documentary because it cites one study ( among many ) that isn\u2019t credible , is intellectually dishonest .\ni think cowspiracy was very unfair to alan savory , who says in his ted talk that culling the elephants was tragic mistake that he deeply regrets . that said , savory ' s methods really only work on natural grasslands that co - evolved with large ruminants ( eg elephants on the savannah or bison on the prairie ) . they ' re not suited to natural deserts , eg most of australia and large areas of central and north america , which are best left as wilderness reserves . nor are they suited to natural forestland , particularly rainforests like the amazon , tasmania , and aotearoa ( nz ) , where food forests of treecrops are a better option for producing human protein than grazing animals .\nstreaming giant netflix recently launched cowspiracy : the sustainability secret , a 90 - minute documentary financed via the crowd - funding site indiegogo and executive - produced by hollywood star leonardo di caprio . it is the latest in a short line of factual features promoted by netflix , which was prompted to make this acquisition by the huge number of people keying the title into its search box . since its internet release last august , the film has been triggering major behavioral change among young adults , an age group often labeled as apolitical and apathetic . as friends and facebook contacts recommend the film , young people watch it and by the time the end credits roll , they have resolved to become vegans or vegetarians .\nwhat the health is the groundbreaking follow - up film from the creators of the award winning documentary cowspiracy . the film follows intrepid filmmaker kip andersen as he uncovers the secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases \u2013 and investigates why the nation\u2019s leading health organizations don\u2019t want us to know about it . with heart disease and cancer the leading causes of death in america , and diabetes at an all - time high , the film reveals possibly the largest health cover - up of our time . with the help of medical doctors , researchers , and consumer advocates , what the health exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars , and keeping us sick .\nthe filmmaking duo\u2019s new cut of the documentary , cowspiracy : the sustainability secret , which is executive produced by leonardo dicaprio , is a controversial look at the animal agriculture industry\u2019s practices and collisions with environmental organizations like greenpeace . recently acquired by netflix and premiering globally on the streaming service september 15 , the film depicts the tangled web of corruption within the industry that brings food to the tables of most americans . throughout the filmmaking process , andersen and kuhn interviewed dozens of environmental activists , some of whom were routinely threatened for speaking out against pro - animal agriculture organizations with limitless legal resources and congressional protection . if you think you\u2019re going to sit through another horrific outcry like food , inc . \u2014 think again .\nif you\u2019ve posted anything online about fossil fuels and climate change lately , the chances are you\u2019ve seen a response like this . cowspiracy : the sustainability secret may have started as a crowdfunded documentary by us filmmakers kip andersen and keegan kuhn but following a year of online success a new version of the film \u2013 executive produced by hollywood star leonardo dicaprio \u2013 has now been launched on netflix . the film follows andersen\u2019s investigation into the climate impact of animal agriculture , and his attempts to get a series of large us environmental ngos to speak to him about it . it\u2019s a compellingly told story , as most of the green groups seem reluctant to answer his questions or to justify their focus on fossil fuels rather than livestock emissions .\nyou already know the subject , animal husbandry . you all know the thesis - that animal husbandry is simply ecologically unsustainable with our current population numbers . what cowspiracy does is take one person through a very personal journey to show just how there is only one course of action that will allow this species to have a reasonable chance of surviving at the current population levels . we can change and adapt and go to a more healthy diet or we can wait for a massive ecological change and have our population levels and civilization crash like so many others have before . is it perfect ? no , but it is still that good . i wish broadcast tv had the guts to run it . i wish it were played in schools . unfortunately they never will .\ncowspiracy also seems to assume that the only people worth targeting with its message are white , northern and middle - class . one of the most problematic lines in the film is when a commentator says \u201cit\u2019s not possible to be a meat - eating environmentalist . \u201d this statement is presumably meant to prick the consciences of well - off us eco - activists but it sweeps the struggles of millions of poorer southern and indigenous peoples under the carpet . most of the people fighting for a safer global environment aren\u2019t middle - class northern folks with carbon - heavy lifestyles . they are the people engaged in frontline battles against fossil fuels , local pollution , and \u2013 yes \u2013 livestock megafarm projects around the world , and they are leading the way in the defence of our shared climate .\nthe film has built a sizable and vocal following , as evidenced by the critical cowspiracy - inspired comments that frequently pop up on articles about climate change , bemoaning the lack of coverage of the climate impact of animal agriculture . in paris for the climate talks in december , there was no escape either . i spotted the headline statistic from the documentary \u2013 \u201canimal agriculture is responsible for 51 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions\u201d \u2013 emblazoned on at least one placard or banner at most of the protests i attended in paris . kip andersen himself even turned up at the anti - oil protest outside the louvre , with a film camera and the 51 per cent figure printed on his shirt , presumably to denounce such fossil - fuel - bashing antics as a waste of time compared to stopping the livestock industry .\nthe film has built a sizable and vocal following , as evidenced by the critical cowspiracy -

yawn trap through jolly animation sequences : one acre of rainforest being cut down per second is shown as football fields replacing the trees , and the 660 gallons of water it takes to produce one beef - burger spring as a flood emitted from a man\u2019s garden hose . cowspiracy \u2019s strong narrative has a thriller - like quality when anderson starts to realize the formidable adversary that is the us agricultural industry \u2013 and that of brazil too , where people who stand up to ranchers tend to end up dead . howard lyman , an erudite ex - rancher who spent 2 years fighting lawsuits after speaking against the beef industry on the oprah winfrey show , leaves the duo in no doubt about what they are taking on . the withdrawal of their financial backer seems like the last straw .\njo dirix criticizes me , and indeed calls me \u201cintellectually dishonest , \u201d for focusing on cowspiracy\u2019s climate argument and not also criticizing what it says about land use , nitrogen , water or deforestation . readers of this blog ( see previous posts at urltoken ) and of the ucs web pages on deforestation ( urltoken ) will know that i have written extensively on these issues and linked them to livestock production , particularly beef . i\u2019ll continue to do that in future posts , and some of these issues will figure prominently in my next two posts , the reviews of the books defending beef and cowed . but given the limitations of space \u2013 we aim to keep our blog posts to 500 - 1000 words , and this one had already reached nearly 2000 \u2013 i chose to focus on climate , and just make brief mentions and / or give links to my writings on the other issues .\nwhen those grasslands are torn up for man made agro - ecosystems ( cropland ) is where biodiversity is lost where these marginal grasslands are converted to agro - ecosystems , that\u2019s where you lose soil carbon , lose methane sinks and require more diverted blue water for crops that aren\u2019t anywhere as near nutrient dense . when these lands are also industrially farmed , the synthetic inputs including nitrogen also leach into waterways causing hypoxia . the common misconception is that all of this industrial farming is mainly for animal feed . cowspiracy furthers this misconception . the reality is that the feed is a co - product of the seed oil / biofuel / ethanol industries . feed started as a by - product . now there are a myriad of other by - products from industrial farming . note too that monocrops of palm oil trees also require huge inputs of nitrogen fertilizers to increase yields . the consequences of these inputs are also now just being realized .\nin reference to the comment \u201c\u2026indeed scientists are practically absent among the many talking heads in the film\u2026\u201d the film is mainly based on the book \u201ccomfortably unaware\u201d by richard oppenheimer . oppenheimer was the film\u2019s main talking head . per the credits he was also the film\u2019s statistical adviser . the film presented oppenheimer as \u201cdr . \u201d and noted he was an environmental researcher , somehow implying that oppenheimer has a phd in the topics he was discussing . however , what the film didn\u2019t clearly note was that oppenheimer is actually a dentist without any research background ( see meme ) . in addition to being an abolitionist vegan , oppenheimer also owns a wholesale vegan food company called ope\u2019s , which ironically uses palm oil in its baked goods . so needless to note , both the book and the film based on the book further oppenheimer\u2019s business interests . here\u2019s a good review of oppenheimer\u2019s book urltoken citing its many fallacies many of which are repeated in cowspiracy ,\nagree . also , all the examples laid out by greenpeace paints a pattern . . . that they haven ' t questioned , let alone challenged , the practices of the meat industry in the us . given examples were of overseas . secondly , greenpeace has denied receiving\nmoney\n. but they didn ' t deny donations / other forms of rewards . thirdly , greenpeace did not apologise to kip andersen ( cowspiracy ) for swatting his multiple interview requests down over a year . this is unacceptable , given his persistence and what the documentary has ultimately shown : educating the public on meat industry crippling our earth . i sensed earlier too that kip was a fan and a donator of greenpeace . my partner & i have given greenpeace australia over $ 9k over 5yrs ( included a $ 3k gift when my partner had a promotion ) . i ' m thinking that we have to look elsewhere , since greenpeace has clearly been compromised ."]}

- anderson is particularly moving as the emotionally devastated mother - - i\u2019ll follow you down doesn\u2019t have the cinematic heft to live up to its ambitious premise .\none could describe the film as a drama about family masquerading as a sci -

one that may bring him home .\nbut , like the movie , let me start at the beginning . we are introduced to a glamorous lady , a british dude and their son . the lady turns out to be gillian anderson , who has retired from the x - files to go be a suburban housewife and the british dude is a theoretical physicist , a profession which is apparently back in fashion in the movies , despite the fact that , following the post - cold - war funding cuts , most people doing theoretical physics can\u2019t afford to own a home , certainly not one in the posh suburbs of toronto .\nthe british dude ( gabriel ) goes for a conference and never returns . before he leaves for the conference erol , their son , pulls an old fashioned pocket watch out of his dad\u2019s waistcoat . we know this pocket watch is going to be a major plot device later because when something so inconsequential is commented on at the beginning of a movie , it usually turns out to be very important later on . plus , the pocket watch is on the dvd cover .\ngillian deals with the disappearance of her husband with medication , erol deals with it by being wooden . gillian\u2019s father , also a physicist , studies gabriel\u2019s notebooks and comes to the conclusion gabriel has built a time machine and gone into the past to speak with albert einstein .\nerol goes to grandpa and woodenly asks him if all this time machine thing is on the level . grandpa , his eyes full of tears , says yes , the time machine story is real . erol woodenly begins work on the time machine . erol is wicked smart . we know this because he comes to class late , doesn\u2019t do any home work , but still aces every test grandpa ( who\u2019s his high - school teacher too ) gives him . normally we would suspect nepotism , but here we decide that erol\u2019s just very smart . we also know he\u2019s very smart because he\u2019s gotten admission to mit but he\u2019s not decided yet if he wants to go because he\u2019s not a red sox\u2019s fan .\nwhile erol is building the time machine we learn that for all his wicked smarts he doesn\u2019t know how to use a condom , because his girlfriend is now pregnant . at this point the movie finally gets interesting . erol\u2019s girlfirend is quite good at conveying emotions and moods , and poses a very good question : if erol does build a time machine and erases the current time line , which he and grandpop consider to be a mistake , what happens to them ? does he think his relationship with his girlfriend is a mistake ? is the baby a mistake ?\nit was part of the equation to kill himself for in killing himself his death ensured his father\u2019s return . his father\u2019s returning would undo his suicide . hope this helps .\nmy favorite plot hole was that the dad then gets to bring an advanced ipad to the present 10 years before it is released , hopefully with some other information about the future securely stored inside . or does the pad go \u201cpoof\u201d because it existed in a timeline that no longer existed ?\nsal goes back in time to 1946 to confront his father , who also had gone back in time 12 years earlier . they meet in a princeton , nj bar , the father wants to meet albert einstein . sal shows him an ipad with an old newspaper clip reveals dad had been mugged and killed and never returned . the mother had killed herself in despair at the husband ' s disappearance . sal pleads with him to choose family over his mission . sal also mentions his wife grace had miscarried , all would be set right if the father returned . dad says he will be careful but wants to stay . sal suddenly pulls a gun and shoots himself in the head . dad then arrives back home , from his\nbusiness trip\n, to his wife and young sal .\ndevastated by the sudden disappearance of his father as a child , a gifted science student grows up to discover that the event may have been linked to time travel .\nby the year 2012 , erol has become a gifted college student in a romantic relationship with grace . his grandfather sal tells erol that he found gabe\u2019s research and discovered that gabe was investigating time - travel using a stabilized wormhole . sal believes that gabe traveled back to 1946 to meet with albert einstein . sal asks for erol\u2019s help in recreating the science so that they can prevent gabe\u2019s disappearance and alter their current timeline for the better . erol dismisses the idea .\nbecause the work consumes all of his time , grace eventually learns of erol\u2019s intent to go back in time . she worries that if he changes the past , they may not end up together in an altered timeline . as the argument between them escalates , grace reveals that she is pregnant . when she threatens to leave , erol agrees to abandon the wormhole research to concentrate on his relationship with grace and start a family .\ngrace loses the baby . convinced that the universe is guiding him towards realizing an idealized life instead of the crumbling one he has , erol decides to complete the time travel research with sal . from an archived newspaper clipping , erol discovers a story about an unidentified man found shot in an alley in 1946 . erol assumes it was gabe since he sees his father\u2019s pocket watch lying on the ground beside the body in the photo . sal and erol reconstruct the time machine and erol goes back to 1946 .\nerol confronts his father in 1946 and reveals his identity , along with what the consequences were of gabe having disappeared in 2000 . gabe agrees to return , but only after meeting einstein and finishing his research . to motivate his father to choose family over his work , erol suddenly shoots himself in the head . gabe returns to the year 2000 and greets his wife and son on the doorstep of their home .\nin the year 2000 , theoretical researcher gabriel whyte says goodbye to his wife marika and his nine - year - old son erol as he leaves for a three - day visit to princeton university . no one ever sees him again . by 2012 , erol has grown into a gifted young scientist himself and goes on to a relationship with his childhood sweetheart grace . meanwhile , marika still grieves for her lost love with a regular cocktail of prescription pills and persistent depression .\nwhen tragedy continues striking at what remains of the whyte family , erol\u2019s university professor grandfather sal posits a possible solution . having discovered gabe\u2019s research secreted away in a dim basement , sal comes to believe that gabe neither died nor disappeared . he went back in time to visit albert einstein in 1946 . as crazy as that sounds , sal needs erol\u2019s mathematical mind to puzzle out the physics involved in recreating the wormhole experiment and bringing gabe back to change the present .\nlike many time travel stories , the script asks viewers to close their eyes and hum during certain scenes . a key detail involves a newspaper clipping from 1946 showing a dead man from behind in possession of the whyte family pocket watch . it is dubious that a news story about an unidentified man would specifically not show the man\u2019s face and of course , if the photo did , the entire plotline would go up in a smoke . it is just one of those necessary conveniences that a story like this has to cheat in order to make things work .\nother clich\u00e9s vary in how forgivable they are . frankly , the ending is too abrupt to be fully satisfying , even though it absolutely works story - wise as a sensible resolution . victor garber\u2019s grandfather character has a go - nowhere subplot involving a possible romance with his tea - fetching secretary while erol and his girlfriend enjoy a hollywood - fabricated childhood courtship , albeit a very cute one .

' ' it was phenomenal , ' ' fox said the day shooting was finished . ' ' the only way we could do it was not to know the impossibility of doing it . ' '\nin diesem film geht es viel darum , wie emotionen einen menschen in die falsche richtung lenken kann und das bringt er auch verdammt gut r\u00fcber . emotional kann der film einen gut mitnehmen und es gibt ein paar szenen bei denen ich wirklich kurz davor war zu weinen . michael j . fox spielt fantastisch und zeigt mal das er auch andere charaktere spielen kann . ohne sein geniales schauspiel h\u00e4tte mich der film wahrscheinlich nicht so emotional abgeholt . wirklich gro\u00dfes lob ! es\u2026\nthere are two things that went wrong with this film . first and foremost is that michael j . fox is totally miscast for his role . i can understand him wanting to break away from the alex keaton character on\nfamily ties .\nbut , although he tries , he simply isn ' t right as a coke - addled , anguished writer . and it knocks the whole film off - kilter . another problem is that the story doesn ' t translate easily onto film . there are some compensations - great supporting cast , catchy theme song (\nkiss & tell\nby bryan ferry ) , and excellent use of new york city locations . but they weren ' t enough to make the film a success , and the disappointing returns at the box office bear this out .\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\na cramped apartment full of movie lights becomes unbearable on a hot summer day . a living room has been made to look like a downtown loft , and extras are crowded in to film a party scene . ' ' bright lights ' ' will wrap in two days , one day ahead of schedule , and by now everyone is worn out . tempers are controlled , but it has been a trying morning . a publicist brought the director brian de palma on the set , unannounced and uninvited - a terrible faux pas . bridges doesn ' t show his anger to the crew , but he ' s incensed . willis seems as calm as ever . ' ' do you all have ulcers ? ' ' i ask him . he smiles and says , ' ' not me , i ' m a carrier . ' '\nby the time chopra arrived , ' ' bright lights ' ' had been kicking around hollywood for two and a half years - not long for most movie properties , but this was the novel that defined hip , early 80 ' s style . when chopra began filming in april 1987 , the age of the couch potato was dawning , the club culture was on the wane and cocaine use had become less openly fashionable . the time - lag problem entered the producers ' minds - ' ' i saw a village voice cover asking , ' is downtown dead ?

fu meets kickboxing angle . actress pawana chanajit was even hired to be one of king boxer\u2019s\nfor chang cheh , duel of fists is a rather bloodless film , so it\u2019s all the more surprising when david chiang puts his hand into a dude\u2019s stomach during the finale . whoa ! didn\u2019t see that coming ! chang also utilizes small bits of editing to recall previous martial feats by chiang ( breaking wooden posts with his hands , etc . ) , cutting in shots of these feats upon impact to emphasize the hit chiang just laid down on his opponent . i really loved this technique , and it added a lot of the brutal , wince - inducing \u201coh shit ! \u201d factor that gouts of blood usually bring , without resorting to those huge gouts of blood . while i\u2019m glad he often chose to go the gory route , i enjoyed the simple and effective artistry of the editing techniques seen in the final fight of duel of fists . and besides , if chang cheh made this film overly bloody it would have robbed david chiang\u2019s final , red - tastic costume change of its visceral impact . \ud83d\ude42\nduel of fist was another hit from the\niron triangle\nof director chang cheh and stars david chiang and ti lung . and , as with all the director ' s classics , one good hit deserves another , so . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfor one thing , in real life ti lung was a diligent wing - chung exponent and even after making duel he continued training in muay thai . he may not have been a master or a champion in the way that bruce lee was but he was genuinely adept at martial arts . duel\u2019s big villain chen sing was a seasoned karate practitioner who conveyed a raw and gritty power that more than matched ti lung\u2019s own . while in duel chiang\u2019s fights were done in the conventional swingy arms way , chang cheh\u2019s desire to display both realistic kick - boxing matches and ti lung\u2019s own impressive physicality showed that he was going toward a similar goal of martial art authenticity later solely attributed to bruce lee . if anything , bruce lee\u2019s instant success must have shown chang that with duel he was going in the right direction .\nover all then , duel is therefore not overly recommended to anyone who isn\u2019t a ti lung , muay thai or kung - fu cinema dedicated appreciator . for the first the movie shows ti lung at his bare - chested fighting furious best while for the second it offers the rare and offbeat showcase of a muay thai centred k - f movie . finally for the third , beyond an appreciably gritty fighting spectacle duel gives an instructive glimpse into the formative years of h - k made kung - fu cinema at the very threshold of bruce lee\u2019s arrival .\nbruce lee\u2019s earthshaking arrival broke chiang and ti lung\u2019s blood brothers movies popular momentum . two more were made , including a sequel to duel titled the angry guest ( feb . 72 ) , but neither of them added anything new . thus duel of fists had seen the cycle reaching its creative apex . chang cheh , ti lung and chiang therefore moved on , the first to help launch kung - fu medalled champion chen kuan - tai as shaw\u2019s answer to bruce lee but that\u2019s another story . within two years bruce lee died while chiang and ti lung enjoyed lengthy film careers in martial art cinema and beyond . director chang cheh himself continued to be an innovative martial - art director for most of the decade but past the mid - seventies his movies never enjoyed the popularity they had from 1967 to 1972 .\nthe film pits the awesome talents of richard matheson . . . with spielberg , delivering one of the best genre films of the past 50 years .\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 .\nsimply a rivetingly murderous game of cat and mouse that keeps you on the edge of your seat .\ndisc # 1 -

art fighting more realistically fierce and brutal than ever , a set of qualities that are found in muay thai kick - boxing . in any case , as nearly all of chang\u2019s movies were dominated by the imagery of muscular young men cutting or gutting themselves with swords , daggers and hatchets , it can be safely assumed that the mere sight of a muay thai match with it\u2019s young boxers in tight , colourful shorts fiercely fighting one another with fists , kicks and knee jambs must have made quite a vivid impression on him .\nduel of fists isn\u2019t as good as it could\u2019ve been , but i still enjoyed the hell out of it . it felt like a good mix between chang\u2019s previous non - martial arts focused films such as stuff like dead end , the singing killer , or the anonymous heroes , and his more well - known , action pictures . it\u2019s also interesting to see how he balances the film between the civilized brutality of the sanctioned ring fighting , and the more traditional shaw brothers free - for - all brawls . and no matter if you like this film or not , david chiang\u2019s wardrobe was just killing it in this movie . if i ever go to bangkok , i should be so lucky as to walk off the plane with as much style as he had here .\nthat being said , some of the fights are a bit lame . even with tang chia and lau kar - leung choreographing everything , there\u2019s still more than this movie\u2019s share of boring group battles . it\u2019s especially sad because they managed to create such iconic , impressive group fights in the duel , so i would have thought that they\u2019d at least be close to that level here . it\u2019s not a big concern because the fights are always fun , but more than a few times they could easily be better . the in - ring fights , though , are a lot more interesting ( at least to me ) . they aren\u2019t going for flashy there either , instead trying to craft realistic , but exciting movie battles that look like real fights . coupled with the rather static filming of these fights , i think they pulled it off really well . and besides , after so many shaw films featuring variations on similar kung fu forms , the muay thai here was fascinating and a real treat . but that\u2019s me , and i imagine many modern viewers will be bored and fail to see the exotic allure that a lot of duel of fists is built upon . after tony jaa , it\u2019s a little hard to go back to this , and i totally understand that .\na post mortem examination had revealed no evidence that former movie star pawana chanachit was murdered , pol col pornchai suthirakhun , deputy chief of the institution of forensic medicine of the police general hospital , said on tuesday .\nin this tv movie , dennis weaver is driving down a deserted southern california highway when he passes a large gas trailer truck . moments later , the truck dangerously tailgates weaver before abruptly cutting him off . weaver and the never - seen truckdriver then engage in a motorized duel . . . to the death .\nyes , you could probably say action is what this film is all about , but to me it was all about style . as one of the few shaw brothers films set in the present day , duel of fists has license to be a 70\u2019s film , with all that that entails . david chiang has never looked more comfortable than in the varying succession of groovy threads he gets to wear throughout the film ( watch out for the cowboy - pimp outfit he sports at the end of the film ) . even the henchmen get to dress up , and the group brawls are given a visual boost as our heroes are surrounded by goons in a myriad of brightly coloured shirts , offset by painfully tight looking flairs . if that\u2019s not enough , david chiang also demonstrates the best way to avoid a car and pick up a date at the same time ( take note people ) . ti lung also gets some good outfits , but none to rival david\u2019s . if the fashion isn\u2019t enough , there\u2019s a great funky soundtrack and more whip pans then you can poke a stick at .\nover the years ti lung developed a following in the west among hong kong cinema fans , while david chiang on the other hand became one of the most overlooked k - f star - players . some fans it seems even developed a strong deprecating view of him , questioning his looks , acting and screen - fighting skills . they were a bit annoyed by his usually wily and perpetually smirking screen persona and strongly resented that chiang regularly upstaged ti lung in the fights or as the film\u2019s real dramatic focus . duel of fists probably helped to develop such ill appreciation . indeed , while in the film a bare - chested ti lung delivered a fierce , gruelling and authentic looking fighting performance in the ring , swingy arms chiang on the other hand was seen easily besting half a dozen opponents at a time in those stylized whirlwind fights . it was also the slender chiang who was given the film\u2019s final showdown against karate powerhouse chen seng while ti lung was on the sideline . finally , as the film was set in the early seventies , chiang was forced to wear some of period\u2019s most horrendous examples of garish fashion run amok , not the best way to make a good impression .\nmr apicha said he was later informed of pawana ' s death at about 3am .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nslavery is the daughter of darkness ; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction ; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political , economic or civil knowledge . they mistake pure illusion for reality , license for freedom , treason for patriotism , vengeance for justice .\n- sim\u00f3n bol\u00edvar\nas chinese boxer ended up the box office champion of the year , it\u2019s likely the huge success met by wang yu prompted chang to follow suit with a k - f movie of his own . instead of making a film around chinese kung - fu though he hit on the idea of making one centred on thailand\u2019s muay thai . he also decided to set the film in contemporary time as well as outside of china ; in thailand\u2019s own capital bangkok\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nunusually for a shaw brothers film , much of this was shot in thailand . having the real locations instead of cheap sets ( though there are still some in there ) really helps this film , and sets it apart from many of the run of the mill efforts that came out that the same time . it also adds an authentic touch that grounds the picture .\ntwo men , one a businessman skilled in kung fu , the other a kickboxer discover they are brothers , and together , both in and out of the ring , they must face a crime syndicate . one of the first films to use the martial art of muay thai .\nhere ' s another fine example of the iron triangle ' s early ' 70s dominance . not to be confused with the same year ' s stunningly bloody the duel , this one revolves around the brutal sport of thai boxing . david chiang is the lead , modeling an endless supply of jaunty hats and kerchiefs as he travels from hong kong to thailand in search of a half -

ring footage is finally pushed to the side for the climactic battle between ti lung and ku feng . the camera gets inside the ring ( at times ) , and actively tries to deliver both a stunning action sequence and a realistic portrayal of a heart - pounding fight . i don\u2019t think it fully succeeds at this , especially with so many of the blows clearly not hitting the other fighter , but it still works despite the flaws . the choreography here is noticeably more movie - like too , making this one of the most exciting moments in the film .\nyes , you could probably say action is what this film is all about , but to me it was all about style . as one of the few shaw brothers films set in the present day ,\ndoctors had gathered some samples from her body for a dna test to establish if anyone else was involved in her death . results of the tests would be known in two weeks , pol col pornchai said .\n\u00a9 2003 -

action scenes have never been a problem , but this one drags . at one point , i wanted it to end . there was enough action , it just wasn\u2019t hard - hitting enough . the bad editing ( or lack of ) didn\u2019t help either . a lot of the bullshit could have been toned down , for example : the two ugly wenches \u2013 one did nothing but cry and the other was like a giddy filipina mail order bride on heroin .\nthe former movie star , know as the\npearl of asia\n. her body was found around 3am on sunday in a pond near her home in nakhon chaisi district ofnakhon pathom . pawana was her stage name . she was born aranyaporn laosaengthong .\nanother thing that sets this film apart is the fight choreography . it ' s some of the best i ' ve seen , and it should come as no surprise that it was done by the legendary lau kar leung . lau has always taken care to showcase the real martial art where possible and you can see that here are some very accurate muay thai bouts . ti lung makes a credible thai boxer , showing why he was one of the shaw brothers best screen fighters . the action outside the ring is purposefully less pure : it ' s not kung fu , it ' s brawling , and there are some really well staged group battles . there ' s a lot of action in this film ; the two distinct styles ( and inventive choreography and camerawork ) keep the film from getting repetitive . you could argue that there would probably be more guns around at the time , but when we get to see chiang and lung kicking and punching their way through hordes of goons , we can ' t complain .\nthe scam takes him to diggstown , a small georgia town that seems to be as fantastic as brigadoon but far less benign . gabe has learned of the place through his cellmate . halfway between nowhere and nowhere , diggstown looks like any other sleepy , utterly corrupt speed -

pimp outfit he sports at the end of the film ) . even the henchmen get to dress up , and the group brawls are given a visual boost as our heroes are surrounded by goons in a myriad of brightly - colored shirts , offset by painfully tight looking flares . if that ' s not enough , david chiang also demonstrates the best way to avoid a car and pick up a date at the same time ( take note people ) . ti lung also gets some good outfits , but none to rival david ' s . if the fashion isn ' t enough , there ' s a great funky soundtrack and more whip pans then you can poke a stick at .\n, without any flourish to the filmmaking . it simply allows us to take in the battle as an audience member would , also capturing the fighters\u2019 ritualistic praying and dancing prior to the match . this isn\u2019t a real match , though , so some of the illusion is broken when that becomes apparent , but it doesn\u2019t hurt the film too much .\nchang cheh keeps things very simple in terms of plot , leaving as much room as possible for the action\u2014on his fathers dying wish , fan ko ( david chiang ) goes to thailand to find his brother wen leih ( ti lung ) , a thai boxer . the boxing world is rife with crime , and it\u2019s not long before the boys get caught up in the mess .\nchang cheh\u2019s films are often , for no readily apparent reason , more enjoyable than they should be . the hokiness seems only to add to the films . many elements of this film are quite strange : for example , the photo chiang has by which to identify his brother with shows his distinguishing tattoo , although he\u2019s only about 10 years old . the plot manages to be simple while still not making much sense . the sound effects guy must have been trying something new when they shot this , because all punches and kicks sound like bits of wood smashing together . yet somehow all these elements come together to make the film a really fun experience . it also provides more than enough reason for a jaded moviegoer to fall in love with the 70\u2019s again .\nchang cheh ' s films are often , for no readily apparent reason , more enjoyable than they should be . the hokeyness seems only to add to the films . many elements of this film are quite strange : for example , the photo chiang has by which to identify his brother shows his distinguishing tattoo , although he ' s only about 10 years old . the plot manages to be simple while still not making much sense . the sound effects guy must have been trying something new when they shot this , because all punches and kicks sound like bits of wood smashing together . yet somehow all these elements come together to make the film a really fun experience . it also provides more than enough reason for a jaded moviegoer to fall in love with the 70s again .\nwhile shaw leading lady ching li would play ti lung\u2019s . her own real life father , character actor cheng miu , would play david chiang\u2019s dying old man . thai boxers were also hired to serve as fight -

woogie . for willie , the boogie - woogie surpasses any beginner ' s exercise . it is something you can dance to , play without sheet music . as willie imagines it , the boogie - woogie is somehow more intimate ,\nnatural .\nmusic\u2014and specifically african american music\u2014serves as the connection to one ' s historical inheritance as well as a vehicle for its preservation and transmission . the importance of music will become clearer as the play progresses .\nboogie -

bar blues as a basis for tune , then improvisation on the chords . this can be a variety of blues patterns ranging from 8 to 12 bars or even 11 or 13 bars . there are also many recordings of standard boogie - woogie accompaniment given to pop tunes of the day .\nmong the most interesting things that don did was to compose some tunes in non - standard keys . for example he would compose some boogie - woogie tunes in the keys of a , e and d major and minor as well as the more common keys of c , f and g . i think he decided to do this for the common reason that he found it easier to sing in those keys .\noogie - woogie has a long history dating back to the 1870 ' s and the days when african americans used to entertain themselves making basic instruments , playing and singing music . derived from the standard 8 or 12 -\n, personally , found it difficult enough to play in the more common keys with some of the repetitive left - hand boogie patterns being required to be played throughout any tune , never mind playing in those other keys .\nthis review refers to the fact that by 1944 lena horne was a movie star , thanks to films like stormy weather and cabin in the sky which she had made after dream but which reached the cinemas earlier . dream could not be of importance now for her career . ammons and johnson , meanwhile , had failed in their attempt to get a foothold in the movies . when they had worked their way west in 1943 , reports had said that they were\nheading for hollywood\nin order to be\nimmortalized in celluloid ,\nand advertisements for their milwaukee engagement in february 1944 claim that they came\ndirect from making a picture in hollywood ,\nhaving\njust completed their part in ' sweet and low down ' at 20th century fox .\nthere is no such part in that film and berle adams , manager of the two pianists at that time cannot remember that he ever so much as worked on a certain picture deal for them . dream remained their only appearance on the screen .\nbig joe turner - original and greatest\nblues shouter\n- spirited / raucous vocal delivery - partnered w boogie woogie pianist pete johnson ( late 30s / made him famous ) - atlantic records 1951\nshake , rattle and roll\n- aab - get out of that bed , wash your face an hands . . . - black audiences preferred turner ' s jump band style - jazz musicians - medium tempo - shuffle rhythm - jump blues r & b\navery ' s account of his dream is the most prominent speech in this section of scene 1 . of particular importance in this dream are the three hobos who attend to him . certainly these train - hoppers double for the magi , or wise men , in the story of jesus ' birth . at the same time , the hobos also stand in for the ghosts of the yellow dog , the ghosts avery will describe them later as the\nhands of god .\nthe condensation of these two sets of figures marks a blending of christian and folk tradition . avery is heir to both , imagining himself as called by both the wise men of the bible and the spirits demanding vengeance on the railroad .\ning sheet music as an aid for playing most forms of jazz , but boogie - woogie in particular , shows up the deficiencies of the scored music , which is usually accepted to be only a ' guide ' and is open to the performer ' s interpretation . this is ( in my view ) a very serious drawback for the novice who has to rely on the recordings which nowadays can be accessed from the internet as there are very few teachers around for this genre .\n\u201ci\u2019ll fly away\u201d is a blast , starting out with maedgen\u2019s rafter - raising first verse , then sliding into a big easy whirlwind of brass boogie - woogie , then ceding to an unadorned bluegrass version as the mccourys gather around the mic to show off some four - part harmony . once the pjhb takes back over , the party busts loose in earnest for a show - stopping final minute so fun that the song feels misplaced at mid - set since it\u2019s such a hard peak to follow .\nburger knew the surviving version of dream when he wrote his memoirs ( german tv , where he was working had even synchronized it ) . the important aspect of what he says is that he does not claim that the film was altered after its completion . in that case , the particularly crude cutting must have been an original feature , as are some visible results of poor directing .\naccording to the amsterdam news article , dream should have hit the cinemas soon thereafter , but it took marvin some time to finish it and to sell it to a distributor . what he eventually made was an outright sale to the goldberg brothers who released the film in 1944 and who , quite in contrast to the truth , are called its producers in a number of reference works on film history .\njack and bert goldberg were vaudeville veterans who had staged road shows with clara smith , mamie smith and the likes in the 1920s . i found references to both of them in black newspapers of that period . when they went into the talking picture business in the 1930s and 1940s , they concentrated on producing films with all - black casts for black audiences , becoming the best - known example of this kind of white entrepreneurship in the history of\nindependent\nfilm . in 1944 , jack goldberg made a controversial documentary on the position of the\nnegro\nin american society , we ' ve come a long , long way . he released this under the banner of a company which he called\nthe negro marches on ,\nat 630 9th ave in new york city . the\nhollywood\ncompany which released boogie - woogie dream had the same office address . regarding a\ndave\ngoldberg , i cannot prove his existence . he may have entered the business in the 1940s .\nthe next two selections are taken from the 1979 recording , we pick the navy . r . reno ' s\nboogie grass band ,\nfeatures vocalist , mu1 ben winter , and charlie daniels ,\nredneck fiddlin ' man ,\nfeatures leader and lead vocalist mucs jerry gilmore .\ni have recently had a discussion about the use of sheet music as a guide to playing jazz in general and as this is a subject that might come into play when trying to learn to play boogie woogie , i propose to try and add my four pennith worth here . i understand most of the terms that are used in written music , but i own up i cannot read music and have to rely on listening to the recorded version of any tune . my reason ( some would day excuse ) for not learning to play music from sheet music is because i do not think it is accurate enough to show all the\nmichael pfau in paris owns three excerpts on 16mm film , titled lena horne sings\nunlucky woman\nteddy wilson at the piano , lena horne steps out in her\nbrand new evening gown\nwith amons [ sic ] and johnson , and ammons & johnson in\nboogie woogie\n. all three are sack amusement enterprises shorts , not soundies . the\ngown\nexcerpt is composed of the short\ngown\nvocal , followed by the untitled piano duet as in the complete film , and by the band instrumental in c , apparently like the\ngown\nsoundie . alfred sack , a texan , was as dominant a distributor of black films as the goldbergs normally were as producers of such films . he cooperated with them in many ways .\navery then enters and greets his old friends . he has an appointment with berniece at the bank to procure a loan for his church , the good shepherd church of god in christ . currently he works as an elevator operator in town . when asked how he became a preacher , avery recounts a dream . sitting in a railroad yard , he comes upon three hobos traveling from nazareth to jerusalem . they entrust a lit candle to him . avery then appears before a house . he enters , and an old woman leads him into a room filled with people with bleating sheep heads . the three hobos dress and anoint him , and jesus charges him with leading the sheep - people through a valley of wolves .\nthere is more confusion in these books regarding the goldberg brothers themselves : most authors agree that jack goldberg was the important one but they cannot make up their minds if the other one ' s name was bert or dave . regarding the goldberg company which released ( or , allegedly , produced ) the film , most authors say it was\nhollywood productions\n( i also saw\nharly wood prod .\nin one big volume ) . a completely different company of that name made bronze buckaroo in the late 1930s (\na typical goldberg production ,\nas one author promptly claims ) . in a 1944 review of dream , quoted below , the company ' s name was given as\nhollywood pictures corp .\n( cf . sampson , pp . 445 , 575 and 578 , in contrast to p . 222 ) .\nthe subject of the down beat article was nbc ' s strictly from dixie show , on which horne was featured with henry levine . according to down beat , she had started on a series of\nsouthern style blues and ballads\nthere , in order\nto add local color to the show\n, and down beat pointed out that the writer of this material had\nnever been farther south than brooklyn .\nthey could have said similar things about lena , of the brooklyn hornes , who remembers the first addition of blues songs to her repertoire as\nvery shrewd show business\non the part of barney josephson , her employer at cafe society . josephson ' s private opinion was that it was\nalmost satire\nto hear lena sing the blues . the first of her\nsouthern style\nsongs on the nbc radio show , according to down beat , were\nmound bayou\nand\nunlucky woman .\nhelen humes recorded both titles later , as did linda keene with henry levine and his strictly from dixie band (\nmound bayou\n) and with joe marsala (\nunlucky woman\n) .\nby september , official films had begun to offer 16 mm copies of the film for home screening . it is this version of the film which survives . on commercial video copies , at jazz film festivals , and when the film is shown on tv , we always see the official films logo first , before a cross - fade leads us to ( the rest of ) the original credits . for a long time i thought that official films had bought the film in the late 1940s , when they acquired the soundies backlog . the reverse of an original advertisement , which i had only seen framed before , revealed that they obtained it even before the soundies excerpts were copyrighted .\ndown beat of october 15 , 1944 , reported :\nnew york - - television motion pictures company here is holding trade previews of 20 three - minute musical shorts , produced for television use . the sound - pics feature lena horne , ammons and johnson and teddy wilson ' s band among other stars .\ntelevision motion pictures was one of jack goldberg ' s many enterprises , and the report shows that excerpts had been made by then , not only for or by the soundies distributing corporation of america .\nregarding my new gown , soundies no . 2544 - 1 - 4 - - this is a second - rate cafe setting and all of the players are colored . the picture opens with a close - up of a piano player as the camera pans to where lena horne is standing at a table wiping glasses . comedy is added by the painter who is also using the table as a work bench . miss horne sings - - then the painter sits at the other piano . albert ammons and pete johnson , the two pianists , play as miss horn [ sic ] finishes the song and stands at center stage swaying to the rhythm of the music . the scene changes to a first - class night club showing all players in formal attire . miss horn [ sic ] is favored during the montage sequences that follow . during these sequences members of the band are shown , customers in the cafe and the background of the set . the picture fades with a clear close - up of miss horne .\nselling the film to the goldbergs meant selling it primarily for use in theatres with black or mixed audiences . in new york and chicago at least two such theatres showed the film in 1945 : the metropolitan on 47th and south parkway in chicago , where the film was featured as\nrhythm - mad , scintillating extra attraction\nwith an errol flynn movie in april , and the orient on 125th and lenox in harlem , where it was shown with john wayne and russell hayden movies in december . bob seeley thinks that he saw the film at the paradise in detroit , which functioned in a similar way to the apollo in harlem .\nmany people believe that the film was shot at cafe society downtown , and that it shows the mural paintings for which that place was famous . i stopped thinking so quite a while ago , and the photographs in this booklet will settle that dispute . regarding the production studios where the film was made , i first thought it could have been the filmcraft studios in the bronx , where some ( but it is not known which ) of the television motion pictures shorts had been filmed , according to goldberg . blanche marvin , however , thinks that it was done at the astoria studios in long island city , where mark made instructional films for the army during his time in the signal corps . these studios had been used for the production of shorts , inserts and independent films before the army had taken them over .\nin his memoirs , burger gives a romantic but unconvincing description of how he met billie holiday at a party in harlem , complete with white gardenia , absent look , and\nstrange fruit ,\nand how she wanted him to tell her about the political events in prague in 1938 . by the time he had\nraised the money for the film ,\nburger goes on without further details , billie was not available , and so - - he says - - lena horne got the part . in the end , according to burger , he was\nnot too happy\nwith the film , because he found it\nsentimental\nwhen it was finished , and burger adds that\nhe\nwould not have made it that way a year later . it seems that he wants to indicate that this was a director ' s movie , but i do not think this is true .\nmany thanks to anthony barnett , blanche marvin , david meeker , helmut weihsmann and the friendly staff of british film institute , library of congress and \u00f6sterreichisches filmmuseum .\nafter hours at a nightclub , the hired help have a jam session , which proves to be just what a couple of belated customers wanted to hear .\nthis video contains content from rebeat digital gmbh , who has blocked it on copyright grounds .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nall the short films i own . . and those i ' ve seen , i ' ve rated\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\n2 of 4 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nexplore popular sci -

bluegrass group from the time they were established . these discs contain remastered cuts from previously recorded albums as well as more recent digital recordings .\nthe navy band released its first\nin house\nrecording , the united states navy band presents the commodores in 1970 . previous recordings were sponsored by other organizations and released under the auspices of that organization . some of the navy organizations represented include the navy league , navy recruiting command and the music branch of the bureau of naval personnel . commercially recorded and sold albums were released by conqueror recordings and rca victor in the early 1940s . the last such endeavor was produced by rca victor in 1964 and featured the navy band and sea chanters chorus entitled , john f . kennedy center for the performing arts presents the united states navy band and the sea chanters .\nthrough the years the navy band has collaborated with some of the best known names in the entertainment field on its recording projects . the names lionel hampton , julius la rosa , burl ives , mike wallace and academy award winner gregory peck all appear on navy band recordings . in addition , some of the world ' s greatest band composers were commissioned to write original works : john cacavas , jay chattaway , clare grundman , robert jager , claude t . smith , and robert w . smith . the navy band ' s own talented arranging staff has also contributed hundreds of outstanding arrangements and original compositions ."]}

from many of the greatest horror films ever made , best film death scenes ( illustrated ) , and three great horror film franchises .\n, while\nsvengali\nis a fictional character from george du maurier ' s anti - semitic novel\ntrilby\n( 1895 ) . are you sure that ' s what you want ? look me in the eyes :\n, but the film was a financial failure . von sternberg then had a run of false starts . pickford , who had announced her intentions of working with this latest european genius , cancelled when she disliked the film scenario about a blind girl in industrial pittsburgh that he had proposed for her . von sternberg\u2019s work at mgm also ground to a halt : unhappy with his work on\nmystified , the group sees her again in london . however , as he stands in the box overlooking his prot\u00e9g\u00e9e , svengali dies of a heart attack and his spell over her suddenly breaks - she can no longer sing in tune . little billee takes her into his chambers where she relates her story , saying that she remembers nothing of her singing career . however , by this point she is very weak , near death . as she is writing her will , she sees a portrait of svengali among her possessions . upon seeing it she goes into her trance , singing chopin ' s impromptu in a flat as she had on the stage and dying with his name on her lips . many years later svengali ' s assistant , gecko , tells taffy that there were\ntwo trilbys ,\nthe one they knew , an\nangel of paradise\n( du maurer 287 ) and a\nsinging machine\nwhen under the spell of svengali ( 288 ) .\nanother unrelated ' wolf - man ' film was she - wolf of london ( 1946 ) , with june lockart as phyllis allenby , an innocent young girl in london - and the alleged perpetrator of gruesome murders .\nsvengali ( 1914 / wiener kunstfilm ) 6 reels . bw . silent . austria . aka : der hypnotiseur . credits : dir : luise kolm & jakob fleck . from the novel\ntrilby\nby george du maurier . cast : frl . nording , ferdinand bonn .\nhouse of dracula ( 1945 ) - an immediate sequel to the house of frankenstein ( 1944 ) film , with lon chaney , jr . as the wolf man , john carradine as dracula , and glenn strange as the frankenstein monster - again\n- basically an upstairs / downstairs melodrama set at wartime , the film is a fast watch with interesting story that kept me entertained ( but what ' s with that painted on\nuni - brow\n? ) . chaney , of course , is always good ( i love the wide range of facial expressions he gets ) , barbara bedford is sort of like a beautiful stone ornament here , but i guess it works for this . there is a small spy element to this film that is quickly passed by - and that is that the countess is carrying a secret message to\nheadquarters\nsewed into the lining of an apron ( or some such item ) . music composed by james schafer works ; the film was screened on turner classic movies tcm .\nin the first of chaney ' s two other horror masterpieces , he appeared in one of the earliest versions of victor hugo ' s novel about the hunchbacked quasimodo - a tortured bellringer living in a cathedral tower in love with gypsy dancer esmeralda ( patsy ruth miller ) in director wallace worsley ' s the hunchback of notre dame ( 1923 ) - it was another silent film version of the classic tale . [ an earlier version was the darling of paris ( 1917 ) , a lost film starring vamp theda bara as esmeralda . ]\nthe classic 1931 film , directed by archie mayo , based on the novel\ntrilby\nby george du maurier . john barrymore gives a masterful performance as the maestro who discovers the beautiful model trilby o ' farrell and , with his hypnotic powers , sets out to make her a star . trilby is played by the stunning marian marsh , who commands your attention with every second of screen time ( just * try * to look away at 22 : 00 when she describes what lovely feet she has ) . the film was an oscar winner for its art direction and cinematography .\n, but producer charlie chaplin was dissatisfied and did not release it . scottish critic ( and future documentary filmmaker ) john grierson , one of the few people to have seen the now - lost film , called it \u201cthe most beautiful picture ever produced in hollywood , and the least human . \u201d\nt he novel is about a studio of three artists from england and scotland , the laird , taffy , and little billee ; the grisette and model trilby ; and a jewish hypnotist named svengali who teaches trilby to sing and uses her voice for his own purposes . the first half of the novel takes place in paris . trilby meets and falls in love with little billee , but , like fantine in les miserables , cannot stay with him because he is of a higher social class . later , billee becomes a famous artist in london , then returns to france after a failed love affair and re - meets his two companions . one evening at the theater they see the new singer that they have heard so much about ,\nla svengali .\nto their surprise , it is trilby , who has never sung in tune before - but now she sings like\na woman archangel . . . or some enchanted princess out of a fairy tale\n( 203 ) . svengali , the strange suspicious musician the group had feared years ago in paris , is the conductor .\nthe phantom of the opera ( 1990 ) , d . tony richardson , a two - part nbc - tv mini - series , with burt lancaster starring as the baron - the phantom ' s father ( in one of his final film appearances ) , teri polo as christine , and charles dance as the phantom\nwon him his first academy award for best original screen story . the film was a hit , and the paramount theater in new york had to arrange all - night screenings to accommodate the eager crowds . paramount gave von sternberg a $ 10 , 000 bonus and a gold medal in appreciation . von sternberg had done more than make a name for himself ;\ndirector rouben mamoulian ' s first sound version dr . jekyll and mr . hyde ( 1931 ) , starring fredric march in the title role as the villainous scientist ( the first oscar - winning horror performance ) and miriam hopkins as the slutty cockney barmaid ivy . the film had ground - breaking transformative special effects as march changed from jekyll into hyde , filmed in one - take\nit is indeed a sad fact that the majority of wegener ' s work is generally unavailable today which is in complete contrast to the works of conrad veidt and emil jannings , two other great german actors who followed in wegener ' s footsteps . however evidence is available of his enormous talent that wasn ' t just restricted to acting , but many other facets of film production .\nthe miser ' s conversion ( 1914 ) ( aka the miser ' s reversion ) was the first film to depict a screen transformation by using a series of dissolves with footage of the character ' s different stages of makeup , rather than a single jump - cut . this was later used to great effect in many films including dr . jekyll and mr . hyde ( 1931 ) and the wolf man ( 1941 ) . in the film , the title character miser ( sidney bracey ) , 75 year - old john grisley , obsessed with the idea of evolution , acquired a rejuvenation serum that transformed him into a 40 year - old man with just a few drops . to intensify the effect , he drank the entire bottle of serum and reverted into an ape .\none actor who helped pave the way for the change in outlook and acceptance of the horror genre was lon ( alonso ) chaney , sr . , known as\nthe man of a thousand faces\nbecause of his transformative , grotesque makeup and acting genius as a pantomime artist . he appeared in numerous silent horror films beginning in 1913 at universal studios . he was soon to become the first american horror - film star and hollywood ' s first great character actor . his first grotesque character role as a fake cripple ( a contorted figure named the frog ) , his breakthrough role , was in the miracle man ( 1919 ) ( a film that only partially survives ) . chaney ' s films , collaborating with director tod browning on ten feature films over a decade , included these examples of lurid melodrama ( and horror ) and crime :\nthe first talkie horror film was also the second ' all - talking ' motion picture from warner bros - - director roy del ruth ' s the terror ( 1928 ) , a stage - bound adaptation of edgar wallace ' s play regarding a haunted house terrorized by a homicidal asylum escapee . the film ' s many ads capitalized on the new feature of sound ( creaking doors , howling wind , organ music ) , heard with the vitaphone sound - on - disc process :\nit will thrill you ! grip you ! set you into tremors of awe . hear this creepy tale of mystery - the baffling story of a detective ' s great triumph . with voices and shadows that will rack your nerves and make you like it . come , hear them talk in this vitaphone production of the play that has gripped london for over 3 years .\nall in all , i found the book interesting but disappointing . contrary to what the cover blurb says , the book is not really about\nthe diva trilby o ' ferrall and her mesmeric mentor , svengali ,\nbut rather about bohemian life in paris , circa 1859 . as a portrait of said life , it is in fact interesting and remarkably frank for its time . but as a story ,\ntrilby\nis scattered and unfocused , more a series of character sketches than a bona fide novel .\nchaney ' s most memorable portrayal was in the ground - breaking , vividly - frightening , beauty - and - the - beast silent film , rupert julian ' s costume horror classic the phantom of the opera ( 1925 ) , as devil ' s island escapee erik - a disfigured , deranged , bitter and vengeful composer / ghost of the paris opera ( based on the character in gaston leroux ' s 1911 novel ) . this film was a technical achievement , with a two - color technicolor ' bal masque ' sequence , the falling chandelier and underground lake scenes . its dark expressionistic tones helped set the tone for horror films in the 30s . its most famous scene was ingenue christine ' s ( mary philbin ) unmasking of lon chaney ' s mask - revealing a hideous skull - face , lipless mouth , rotten teeth , snouty nose , and bulging eyes .\nin the same year , danish writer / director carl theodor dreyer ' s dreamlike , atmospheric , seminal horror film vampyr ( 1931 , ger . / fr . ) ( aka not against the flesh / castle of doom ) was released . the unsettling film , dreyer ' s first sound feature , was loosely based on the 1872 lesbian vampire short story carmilla by j . sheridan le fanu . it was alternatively titled the strange adventure of david grey - and it told the story of an occult researcher named allan / david grey ( baron nicolas de gunsburg , played by julian west ) in a remote country inn in the village of courtempierre who was given a vampire combat book . he slowly believed he was surrounded by vampires - and dreamt of his own death and glass - lidded coffin burial ( filmed with a double - exposure ) during a blood - loss induced fever dream .\nfirst published in 1894 , the story of the diva trilby o ' ferrall and her mentor , svengali , has entered the mythology of that period alongside dracula and sherlock holmes . immensely popular for years , the novel led to a hit play , a series of popular films , trilby products from hats to ice - cream , and streets in florida named after characters in the book . the setting reflects du maurier ' s bohemian years as an art student in paris before he went to london to make a career in journalism . a celebrated caricaturist for\nupon publication , the novel caused a sensation in britain and america . in its first year of publication , the book sold 200 , 000 copies in america ( showalter ix ) .\nsvengali\nbecame a usual name for any hypnotist ; the book was turned into a popular play , and one town in florida named its streets after the characters ( showalter x ) . it sparked a resurgence of interest in bohemian life , as had not been seen since murger . years after paris ceased to be the center of bohemian life , the culture of the artists still attracted attention .\nin the years to come , von sternberg cultivated his persona as an exotic , highbrow artiste more actively . journalists anointed him svengali to marlene dietrich\u2019s trilby , and the riding pants and turbans he would wear on the set added to his mystique . in 1936 , london critic charles graves wrote , \u201cjosef von sternberg walks like a cat , looks like a fallen archangel , wears mongolian moustachios and black chinese pyjamas , is never seen out of doors without a walking stick , craves cornflowers , and always expects the head waiters to bring , unasked , seven iced black grapes when he enters a restaurant . \u201d\nhorror films go back as far as the onset of films themselves , over a 100 years ago . from our earliest days , we use our vivid imaginations to see ghosts in shadowy shapes , to be emotionally connected to the unknown and to fear things that are improbable . watching a horror film gives an opening into that scary world , into an outlet for the essence of fear itself , without actually being in danger . weird as it sounds , there ' s a very real thrill and fun factor in being scared or watching disturbing , horrific images .\nhorror films , when done well and with less reliance on horrifying special effects , can be extremely potent film forms , tapping into our dream states and the horror of the irrational and unknown , and the horror within man himself . ( the best horror films only imply or suggest the horror in subtle ways , rather than blatantly displaying it , i . e . , val lewton ' s horror films . ) in horror films , the irrational forces of chaos or horror invariably need to be defeated , and often these films end with a return to normalcy and victory over the monstrous .\nin the french silent film serial ( with ten chapters ) les vampires ( 1915 , fr . ) ( aka the vampires ) by director / writer louis feuillade , subversive vampire thieves sucked the blood out of sleeping bourgeois parisian society , and stole their jewels . the villainous leader of the vamps was irma vep ( musidora ) , an anagram for vampire . the partly scripted , partly - improvised episodes ( with eye - catching titles like\nthe severed head\nand\nthe ring that kills\n) followed investigative journalist philippe gu\u00e9rande ( \u00e9douard math\u00e9 ) and his comic sidekick oscar mazamette ( marcel l\u00e9vesque ) in their continued attempts to foil the vampire gang ' s elaborate schemes and gadgets .\nthe acting of the cast , in which the names of clara kimball young and wilton lackaye come first , is on a par with the most exacting demands of screen histrionism . mr . lackaye ' s impersonation of svengali has long been recognized as a work of great merit . the triumph that he won for it in the spoken drama , he more than repeats on the screen . clara kimball young makes an ideal trilby . her beauty of face , perfection of form and power as an actress fit the part splendidly , and accurately exemplified by phyllis neilson - terry , the soul which animates her creation is the soul of trilby o ' farrell . her posing in the\nall - together\nis without offense . the gecko of paul mcallister , chester barnett ' s little billee , and the efforts of the remaining members of the cast are all in harmony with the performance , and responsive to every mood of the director ' s conception .\nas the war closed wegener was one of the first to rebuild cultural life in berlin . despite ill - health he became president of an organisation to improve standards for it ' s inhabitants . in 1947 wegener suffered a debilitating stroke that caused him to go to switzerland for medical care . on his return to berlin he again succumbed to illness , but refused to give up acting and accepted a part in der grosse mandarin ( 1948 ) , his last film role . in july 1948 he reprised his role of\nnathan the wise\nat the deutschen theatre , but in the very first scene he collapsed and the curtain was brought down . two months later , on september 13th . 1948 , paul wegener died in his sleep . his funeral was attended by mourners from all walks of life , coming to pay their respects to the artist . he was buried in a quiet corner of the berlin cemetery at heerstrasse where a chinese temple -

deep drifts that impede the drunken heroes . von sternberg shunned flat and wasted space\u2014he wanted images that were thick , teeming , layered , and emotionally significant . to create depth , he often filled his early sets with objects ; later , he would use lights and gauze .\n, his artistry was both less refined and less well known . hollywood stars like charlie chaplin , douglas fairbanks , and mary pickford had praised von sternberg\u2019s 1925 directorial debut ,\n( 1926 ) , the studio replaced him with phil rosen . unhappy with his coworkers in\n( 1925 ) , von sternberg walked off the set in a huff and sailed for europe . he did complete one picture ,\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nhorror films are unsettling films designed to frighten and panic , cause dread and alarm , and to invoke our hidden worst fears , often in a terrifying , shocking finale , while captivating and entertaining us at the same time in a cathartic experience . horror films effectively center on the dark side of life , the forbidden , and strange and alarming events . they deal with our most primal nature and its fears : our nightmares , our vulnerability , our alienation , our revulsions , our terror of the unknown , our fear of death and dismemberment , loss of identity , or fear of sexuality .\nof necessity , the earliest horror films were gothic in style - meaning that they were usually set in spooky old mansions , castles , or fog - shrouded , dark and shadowy locales . their main characters have included\nunknown ,\nhuman , supernatural or grotesque creatures , ranging from vampires , demented madmen , devils , unfriendly ghosts , monsters , mad scientists ,\nfrankensteins ,\njekyll / hyde\ndualities ( good against evil ) , demons , zombies , evil spirits , arch fiends , satanic villains , the\npossessed ,\nwerewolves and freaks to even the unseen , diabolical presence of evil .\nthe vampire character has been one of the most ubiquitous in the history of cinema , extending from the earliest days of cinema to present - day manifestations . dark , primitive , and revolting characters that simultaneously attract and repel us formed the irresistible heart of big - screen vampire tales . at first , bloodsuckers ( leeches ) and vampire bats intrigued and frightened people from cultures around the world . demonic or supernatural possession was often juxtaposed with blood - drinking , sex , and corpses . many religions , myths , folk - tales and cults espoused the idea of obtaining the life - essence from blood \u2013 in its extreme was the practice of cannibalism .\nvampires began to emerge in popular fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries , during which time anglo - irish writer bram stoker ' s 1897 vampire novel dracula was written . it has become the most popular , influential and preeminent source material for many vampire films . sheridan le fanu ' s 1872 lesbian vampire tale carmilla came a close second to stoker ' s writings . stoker ' s seminal book hatched all the elements of future vampire films - - predatory female vamps who kissed the neck of male victims for their human blood , an elderly count who vied for their prey , and a vampire hunter with garlic to ward off the\nprince of darkness\nand with a wooden stake to drive through dracula ' s heart .\nthe phantom of the opera ( 1943 ) , d . arthur lubin , universal ' s technicolored version with claude rains as the title character -

the true dracula and frankenstein eras , with films that borrowed from their german expressionism roots . the studios took morbid tales of european vampires and undead aristocrats , mad scientists , and invisible men and created some of the most archetypal creatures and monsters ever known for the screen . universal studios , with many groundbreaking silent horror films , continued its tradition by providing talkie horror films derived from literature and other mythic - legendary sources . it was best - known for its pure horror films in the 30s and 40s , horror - dom ' s characters ( frankenstein , dracula , the mummy , the invisible man , and the wolf man ) and its classic horror stars , hungarian matinee idol bela lugosi and boris karloff .\n[ an impressive - looking spanish version , with director george melford in place of browning , was shot simultaneously on the same sets at night , but with a different cast and crew ( carlos villar\u00edas replaced lugosi , and eduardo arozamena as van helsing , along with provocatively - dressed actresses lupita tovar as eva ( mina ) and carmen guerrero as lucia ( lucy ) ) . ]\n[ in director tim burton ' s horror / comedy ed wood ( 1994 ) , martin landau won a best supporting actor oscar as the aging , morphine - addicted horror star bela lugosi , a friend of one of hollywood ' s worst directors . ]\nunfortunately , the wolf man role hopelessly typecast chaney , jr . for life . in fact , he was the only actor to play all four classic movie monsters : the wolf man , the frankenstein monster ( in the ghost of frankenstein ( 1942 ) ) , kharis ( the mummy ) ( in the mummy ' s tomb ( 1942 ) , the mummy ' s ghost ( 1944 ) and the mummy ' s curse ( 1944 ) ) , and count dracula ( in son of dracula ( 1943 ) ) .\nhe was forced to star in a series of very poor sequels , teamed up with other universal horror stars in b - grade films including frankenstein meets the wolfman ( 1943 ) ( in which chaney , jr . portrayed the wolf man and lugosi was the frankenstein monster ) , and in two films adding dracula to the mix :\nhouse of frankenstein ( 1944 ) ( the first all - star get - together with glenn strange as the frankenstein monster , john carradine as baron dracula , boris karloff as mad scientist dr . gustav neimann , and lon chaney , jr . as larry talbot / the wolf man )\nthe worst ignominy suffered by chaney , jr . was in universal - international ' s hybrid horror - comedy abbott and costello meet frankenstein ( 1948 ) with the two screen comedians . here was evidence that classic horror films in the genre were beginning to go out of style after the real ' horrors ' of world war ii , and universal was attempting to crank out more and more sequels for younger audiences .\npaul wegener was the first of the great german actors to go willingly into cinema realising the artistic capabilities of the new medium . he was also a man of great stature , towering six foot six inches , and with his distinctly chiseled - face managed to give feelings and realism to the horror movie characters he portrayed .\nin some small way i hope this article will also help to keep his name regarded as a leading light in filmdom ' s illustrious history ."]}

( excerpt )\nadds williams ,\nthis is probably going to go down as one of my finest works , just because it ' s a collection of forbidden topics that we can ' t seem to get answered .\nwilliams hopes to turn the material into his eighth stand - up special , but wants to explore different regions of the country before recording it for posterity .\nin this conversation , williams tells the hollywood reporter how the culmination of racial tensions in the south \u2014 and beyond \u2014 inspired his upcoming national circuit , but he doesn ' t stop there .\nthe fight that i ' m fighting now is the fight for all women . i ' m not fighting this fight to be the number one black female stand - up for myself . i really just want to show the women that somebody can do it . i want to achieve the same status as a kevin hart or a katt williams , just to show that a female can do it .\nyour angular houses , namely , the 1st , 4th , 7th and 10th houses , are very emphasized in your chart , katt williams : 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 .\nindeed , luenell is committed to working with women , noting her partnerships with various female comics and deeming wendy williams\u2019 request to employ her as a comedy coach while williams began her own foray into standup comedy \u201can honor\u201d . the gender aperture between black comics , luenell finds , has as much to do with the unwillingness of entertainment industry machines to aid black comediennes in gaining traction as it does indifference on the part of audiences .\nkatt williams , fire is dominant in your natal chart and endows you with intuition , energy , courage , self - confidence , and enthusiasm ! you are inclined to be passionate , you assert your willpower , you move forward , and come hell or high water , you achieve your dreams and your goals . the relative weakness of this element is the difficulty to step back or a kind of boldness that may prompt you to do foolish things .\nkatt scores with his flashy street attitude in a hilarious story about returning to his roots . katt is offered the opportunity to become a major hollywood player . but there\u2019s a catch \u2013 he has to sell out by appearing in a musical penguin movie . instead he ditches hollywood , rounds up his crew of luenell ( borat ) , red grant and melanie comarcho and hits the road in a wild cross - country comedy tour that will leave you in hysterics at every stop .\ni am one of the rare urban public officials ,\nsays williams .\npart of my guarantee in my ticket price is that [ i ' m ] going to be talking about what we are talking about\na fictional film set in the seductive world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation , american hustle tells the story of brilliant con man irving rosenfeld , who along with his equally cunning british partner and lover sydney prosser is forced to work for a wild unhinged fbi agent richie dimaso . dimaso pushes them into a world of jersey powerbrokers and mafia that ' s as dangerous as it is enchanting . renner is carmen polito , the passionate , volatile , new jersey political operator caught between the con - artists and feds . irving ' s unpredictable wife rosalyn could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down .\nafter this paragraph about dominant planets , of katt williams , 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 .\n. if you ' ve never seen williams perform real stand up , keep in mind he is a foul - mouthed motherf * * ker , and as long as you ' re cool with that , you should enjoy the show .\nrefreshing , dynamic and down right hilarious . if you are a fan of black comedians / actors you more than likely have heard of kat williams , if not , slap yourself now ! katt offers his philosophy on haters , weed , sex amongst other subjects in this scarily on point and delivered with such skill , charisma and striking reality . it ' s hard to take your eyes off the screen . one of the best comedians since richard pryor . u need this in your life ! ! ! !\nlike the majority of earth signs , katt williams , 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 , katt williams , 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 . . .\nas a comedian , williams is about as dirty and profane as they get . if he says a sentence with ten words in it , at least three of those words will be swears . where williams really shines is in the way he moves around on the stage , and the physical aspect of his show . he isn ' t afraid to prowl around on the stage , and he uses a wooden stool as a prop that doubles for everything from a crocodile to one of his many sexual conquests . the majority of his routine is his talking about sex and women - - he is , after all , a pimp - - and if you are easily offended by someone talking about copulating with a woman until she defecates , this is not something you will be wanting to watch . but if you like that sort of stuff , or if you like williams , you should have a good time with the final hour of the dvd . just keep in mind - - especially if you ' re a fan - - that when williams is funny , he ' s really funny , but he is seldom funnier than he was in\nkatt williams , the nocturnal north - eastern quadrant , consisting of the 1st , 2nd and 3rd houses , prevails in your chart : this sector favours self - assertion and material security to the detriment of your perception of others . you consider self - transformation to be a hazardous adventure . you are inclined to seek stability and you tend to protect yourself with your actions . possession , acquisition but also communication , without opening up too much , are part of your deep motivations . you are rather autonomous and constant , however it is important that you pay more attention to others , so that you can improve your outcomes .\nwilliams also has issues with shaq who he calls \u201cretarded for wanting to be a sheriff\u201d and with michael jackson for leaving the u . s . for a country where he will be allowed to sleep with little boys . he even jokes about rappers with bad record deals who are both platinum and broke .\nis presented in stereo . the sound is a bit disappointing at times , and has trouble with drop - outs , varying levels , and at one point , during a particular joke , you can hear someone talking over williams . it sounds almost as if there was another voice coming through his wireless microphone .\nas a black - american comedian , it\u2019s always interesting when the league starts again so we can see what changes are going to happen . for black artists , they\u2019re doing importation now . there\u2019s going to be eight new black faces , but they\u2019re going to be from london or the u . k . that\u2019s fine i guess . it gives variety . it\u2019s an interesting time . i\u2019m just glad that the musical chairs has begun . it\u2019s when new ideas come out .\nat the start of the movie katt is in the bathroom in front of the mirror he says to the girl\ni ' ll take my vitamins now\nand she bends over and picks up a joint and lights it . however before she flicks the lighter she starts inhaling and the\ncherry\nbrightens showing inhalation , but it hasn ' t been lit .\nhoroscopes having the same aspect venus trine midheaven ( orb 0\u00b003 ' ) : arnold schwarzenegger , demi lovato , abraham lincoln , russell brand , jean - claude van damme , steven spielberg , jon bon jovi , jean dujardin , alfred hitchcock , sarah michelle gellar , michelle williams , alexander skarsgard . . . find all the celebrities having this aspect .\nbut most of the show is devoted to observational humor devoted to graphic descriptions of assorted sexual behaviors , all laced with the b - word , s - word and f - word . if you really think about it , the cadence and rhythm of katt\u2019s delivery is funnier than his outrageous content , for he has a brash and flamboyant style which is overly confident if not exactly charming .\nwithout giving away too much , williams says his new material will focus on the divide between evolution and creationism , america ' s\naggressive\nspace program , and ,\nis there a difference between [ former subway spokesperson ] jared [ fogle ] and bill cosby ?\nthere will also be conversation about police brutality in the wake of ferguson and baltimore .\nkatt williams , the way you take action is quite paradoxical : you carry out your business perfectly well when you are in a teamwork with collective goals , but you do so in your original and individualistic manner : this is your main peculiarity . your concern is to express your originality and your specificity while remaining immersed in a human community . you are curt and not very flexible . you are inventive and you easily fight authority , just because its very principle runs counter to the sacred values of freedom , independence and , above all , the absence of constraint . competition does not appeal to you . you prefer to be useful and to conquer new territories of the humanitarian or the intellectual type . on the sexual plane , you are also often original and surprising regarding your fantasies and your tastes .\nyour intellectual and nervous energy is considerable , katt williams , with good concentration abilities and a strong determination . you have plenty of planning and organization skills and enthusiasm . your helpfulness is deep and you never hesitate to solve other people ' s problems . you are thought of as a reliable person and you enjoy it very much . you believe in your own capacities and you tend to speak with a dramatic pomposity because you want to attract attention . people who do not share your opinion are in trouble ! your determination is strongest and you may show stubbornness and inflexibility because you do not easily accept it when your ideas or your actions are criticized . some people believe that you assert yourself in an authoritarian and condescending way , but you are not aware of it and therefore , you keep on thinking that you are right .\nkatt williams , inside yourself , feelings are strong and powerful . however , you never show them before weighing up and considering all the possible consequences of your words and your actions : fieriness and spontaneousness are toned down because you cannot help controlling yourself , probably due to your modesty , your discretion or your shyness ; you are frightened because you are so concerned with other people ' s opinion that you see passion , or expressing your feelings too quickly , as sources of danger . however , you are helpful , simple , and you do not fuss around . reason prevails in your love life but your heart may flare up when the context is well organized and everyday life is cautiously handled with good sense , tidiness and cleanliness . your sensitivity prompts you to avoid excesses and outbursts and this is how you think that you can achieve happiness without risk .\ndescribing this tour as a\ncollection of forbidden topics that we can ' t seem to get answered ,\nwilliams says the\nguarantee in [ his ] ticket price is that [ he ' s ] going to be talking about what we are talking about now .\nadding ,\nthis is the open discussion that we ' ve had since 2003 . this is what it ' s about .\n, the veteran comedian , actor and renowned urban public official is expected to hit nearly 100 cities on his 2015 - 2016 conspiracy theory route . eclipsing the preceding media hype and raising the bar for quality live comedy during the first leg , williams '\nside - busting ,\nepic\nreturn to the stage has been met with acclaim proving\nhe is indeed back and at the top of his game .\nin his first interview in a year , williams describes the tour as a\ncollection of forbidden topics that we can ' t seem to get answered .\npart of my guarantee in my ticket price is that [ i ' m ] going to be talking about what we are talking about now ,\nhe adds .\nthis is the open discussion that we ' ve had since 2003 . this is what it ' s about .\nwhen i was a sociology and southern studies prof at the university of mississippi , i made several classes watch craig brewer\u2019s 2005 film hustle & flow , including two very white introduction to southern studies courses and two more or less integrated urban sociology courses . i\u2019ve used brewer\u2019s film often in my research about southern cities , southern cultures , and contemporary black southern identity , despite some of its problematic epistemology , and i see it as an important teaching tool . thus , when memphis crowds began chanting \u201cwhoop that clip\u201d during the clippers\u2019 series , signifying on the al kapone song from the film , \u201cwhoop that trick , \u201d and eventually just went all out and actually chanted \u201cwhoop that trick\u201d\u2014i was immediately proud . i was also simultaneously perturbed .\na posse comprised of three other comics , red grant , melanie comarcho and luenell , take turns on stage , too , each relying on equally - salacious material . the language is plenty salty , reminiscent of red foxx\u2019s blue lps on laff records , only pushing the envelope to a degree that might make a porn star blush . with cameo appearances by da brat , ludacris , tamala jones and jeremy piven , this pimpalicious dvd is likely to resonate with katt\u2019s loyal fans , those unshockable and very open - minded \u201creal [ n - words ] \u201d in his desired demographic .\nnot one to worry about his image , williams has just released a concert film aimed at what he refers to as \u201creal [ n - words ] . \u201d on the dvd , taped in front of appreciate live audiences during a recent 15 -

and at the istanbul international film festival , he won the special jury prize . the film was successful in international markets , and in the two decades since , it has grown not only in critical stature but popularity \u2014 and that will only increase now that it ' s finally available on dvd .\nin addition to these clear reproductions , jarman draws on other caravaggio works as inspiration for the film ' s sets , costumes , and lighting . for example , many of peasants are dressed to resemble those in the milan version of\nsupper at emmaus\nand\nthe tooth puller\n. the press kit identifies two additional paintings in the film \u2014\nnarcissus\nand\ndavid with the head of goliath\n\u2014 but i didn ' t detect them .\njarman underlies the film ' s central action , of the love triangle , with a story that becomes increasingly noir - ish , as ever more shocking levels of treachery are revealed . oscar wilde ' s often - quoted line , from\nthe ballad of reading gaol ,\napplies as much to caravaggio ' s fictionalized plot as to most of film noir :\neach man kills the thing he loves .\njarman reinforces the noir connection both dramatically and visually \u2014 but as with his use of sacred motifs , it ' s subtle , and only one more of the many strands that make up this film .\nkovacs , k . s . ,\nberlanga life size ,\nin quarterly review of film studies ( new york ) , spring 1983 .\nhi my wife mentioned that she saw ' the outcasts ' back in the 80s and she really liked it , i had never heard of it before . a few years ago she asked me to look on ebay to see if anyone had a vhs tape of it , after not much look one did turn up eventually . the video was released by a company called ' prestige international ' , not sure what date it came out as there is no date on the cover .\ncuriously , the film that might be most strongly expected to touch on issues of class difference does not address them directly at all . a lebanese film , maroun baghdadi ' s ' ' little wars , ' ' deliberately avoids designating its characters ' religious preferences or any other information that might align them with specific factions .\nin jarman ' s film , here are the caravaggio paintings shown and / or recreated as tableaux , in the order they appear . titles link to online reproductions and commentary , each opening in a new window :\n. . . muir covers everything from film to television to books to retro toys with no - holds - barred affection . . .\n(\ninspirational commentary . i had never considered bladerunner and jc ' s the thing having common elements , but it is so obvious when one points it out . i too saw the thing in 1982 when i was 40 something . i had been a long time fan of the original ' 50s thing , but considered the new movie a different movie and not a remake . i still like both . both hold up to repetitive viewing for me . what i remember of that 1st viewing was that it really scared me . that night i waited in bed for my spouse to change . it was great ! thanks for the memories . . .\nexplore the existential angst of what it means to be human . protagonists in each film combat creatures that mimic or imitate the human shape , but are indistinctly inhuman . in both films , the impostor is also an infiltrator . . . virtually unrecognizable - -\nthe financial saga has as many twists and turns as the film ' s labyrinthine plot . when jarman shows the dead caravaggio with gold coins over his eyes , it ' s as much an ironic jab at economic / political realities as the folk tradition of making sure the dead have the proper fare to enter the land of the dead . but in the opening shot , before the coins appear , jarman emblematically lays out caravaggio ' s contradictions in a stunning close - up : one of the dead artist ' s eyes is wide open , but the other is shut .\n[ note : in the film ' s original ending , crazed and unstable alex committed suicide to frame former lover dan , making it look like he had murdered her . after preview audiences objected , the ending was changed . ]\ntim burton\u2019s macabre and quirky visual style is recognizable to nearly anyone . his early films beetlejuice ( 1988 ) , edward scissorhands ( 1990 ) , and the nightmare before christmas ( 1993 ) have become favorites among adults and children , leading to the branding of his films as dark , fantastical stories featuring surreal , horror , and gothic mise - en - scene ; characters as outcasts , freaks , and villains ; and themes of isolation , life , death , perseverance , and love . however , before burton became a household name or even made his first feature film , he worked for walt disney productions and made vincent .\nthe final segment of the film consisted of a 17 - minute long dramatic retelling of how a young , sexy croatian actress oja kodar ( herself , welles ' real - life girlfriend at the time of shooting ) , first seen in the film in a segment on girl - watching , enticed famed artist pablo picasso in the village of toussaint by walking by his place during one summer in provocative beach - dress , and was soon invited in to be his mistress in exchange for ownership of the 22 nude paintings he made of her .\n( mcfarland ;

( if you want to follow along , there ' s a full list of the pictures below \u2014 but you certainly don ' t need to , in order to enjoy jarman ' s picture . ) these reproductions are more than gimmicks ; they point to the essence of the film , and of jarman ' s enormous achievements .\nin ' ' moonlighting , ' ' the emphasis is on class rather than racial differences , as an educated foreman wields power over three ignorant laborers , yet is himself treated as a polish outsider in england . even in tim hunter ' s ' ' tex , ' ' the class relations among oklahoma teen - agers are explored . in karoly makk ' s ' ' another way , ' ' the two lesbian characters are treated as sexual and political outcasts . in mr . losey ' s ' ' the trout , ' ' a french country girl enters the world of international high finance and proceeds to disrupt the sexual , racial and economic lines of power .\nauthor : gina marie ezzone is a senior at denison university where she studies cinema and queer studies . she is the president of the denison film society where she works as a programmer and projectionist . this summer she is the programs assistant intern at facets . check out her work on vimeo .\nthe key line in the film comes when caravaggio , after ranuccio has stabbed him in a fight , tells his faithful mute servant jerusaleme :\nall art is against lived experience . how can you compare flesh and blood with oil , ground pigment ?\nso far , this year ' s record for most walkouts is held jointly by ' ' veronika voss , ' ' the film of mr . fassbinder that was the openingnight selection , and miklos jancso ' s ' ' the tyrant ' s heart .

on observations except to say that i think this is carpenter ' s masterpiece , even moreso than halloween which is a great film as well , but i think that carpenter really hit it out of the park with this one for all the reasons you stated in your post . i ' m glad you pointed out rob bottin ' s staggeringly incredible work on this film . it ' s a shame that most of the studio films go the cgi route and it seems like he doesn ' t work much anymore as a result . i wish some indie horror filmmakers would hook up with him . his work has a tangible texture and realism that still outclasses the cgi work out there . have you read the comic book spin - offs ? the first two - issue mini - series is quite good even though they get a few of the rules from the film wrong and carpenter has said that if he ever did a sequel he ' s use them as a basis . i also thought that the video game sequel was very well done . they really captured the claustrophobia and paranoia of the film as well the mood and atmosphere to a t . at any rate , as someone who is a huge carpenter fan i really dug your post . great stuff .\naward -

in - law . the film is punctuated with these bits of gallows humor as well as with comic reversals that take the audience by surprise . a particularly fine example occurs at the end of the movie when the young executioner is carried kicking and screaming like the victim into the prison where he will perform his first execution . el verdugo shows that the biting black humor that we have come to associate with bu\u00f1uel is , in more general terms , a spanish characteristic .\njust a convenient place to group together all the films i\u2019ve seen of the creepy persuasion .\ncult tv flashback # 77 : v : the series :\nthe rescue . . .\nthe thing serves as the first movement in john carpenter\u2019s self -

straw appear and play , but it is not their tune that stops the proceedings momentarily . sailing in on the merriment is a quick and haunting fiddle from outside , the player scarf michael ( mark lally ) , a magical figure tainted by talk of evil association . as the hearth fire tale at the beginning of the film spins it :\nhe ' s the one plays a fiddle with a bow made of dead men ' s hair .\nthat search for the modern in the historical \u2014 through anachronism \u2014 is perhaps the boldest aspect of jarman ' s visual strategy . yet as noted above , it ' s also precisely what caravaggio did with his biblical subjects : there were no 1600 - style doublets or feathered caps at the martyrdom of matthew ( if , indeed , he even died that way : the bible and history are both mute ) . he also employs anachronistic sounds \u2014 like offscreen cars honking , a train whistle , a phone ringing \u2014 to expand further the limits of the film . as in so much of jarman , there ' s more here than meets the ear or eye .\nin light of this , it is good to be able to report that at least one of the festival ' s key figures , werner herzog ( ' ' fitzcarraldo ' ' ) , is still going strong , and that he appears to be a film maker of persistent , enduring imagination .\nin caravaggio , jarman brings together life and art in a manner that ' s both comical ( who hasn ' t gotten bored trying to hold a pose ) but revealing . thematically , this reintroduces both the body and the notion of time into paintings that are otherwise , by their nature , frozen . jarman reveals not only the messiness of life behind the pictures \u2014 from folly to violence \u2014 but , through this film , how they come together . is this the achievement of what haunted his fictional caravaggio : the joining together of flesh and blood , with canvas and paint ?\nthe narrative ' s flip side \u2014 or is it ? , jarman might ask \u2014 to the religious layer is , unexpectedly , film noir . admittedly , this is an unorthodox take on caravaggio , but know that jarman discussed noir directly with cinematographer gabriel beristain ( as recounted in the latter ' s video interview on the dvd ) , suggesting that caravaggio ' s chiaroscuro helped invent noir style , with its ( melo ) dramatic , selective lighting and shadowy backgrounds . a classic example of the style can be seen in jacques tourneur ' s noir landmark , out of the past ( 1947 ) . in one shot , that bears a rough compositional similarity to\nthe martyrdom of saint matthew ,\ntwo benighted characters sit huddled in a car , surrounded by pitch blackness \u2014 an impossibly blinding shaft of light ( from the dashboard ! ) illuminates just their faces : it doesn ' t get more chiaroscuro , or film noir , than that .\nas caravaggio ' s noir plot elements become unmistakable \u2014 during the scene in which jarman recreates\ndeath of the virgin\n\u2014 he uses , for the first time , a staple of noir lighting , the slatted pattern cast by venetian blinds ( previously , jarman and his designers had gone to great pains to use only authentic period oil skin - covered windows ) . and this film ' s end credits are an homage to perhaps the greatest noir , robert aldrich ' s kiss me deadly ( 1955 ) , whose world is so horrifically out of balance that even the credits run backwards .\ngrafton books , 1988 .

( jarman later parallels this scene with one in which ranuccio and lena , lying in a hammock at a 180 degree angle to each other , cascade each other with the florins he ' s earned \u2014 but lena herself will soon be in the money ; and note that this ' head to toe ' configuration parallels jerusaleme ' s position on the floor in relation to the dying caravaggio , whom he ' s watching over : the more closely you look at this film , the more there is to see . )\n[ beware of spoilers ] to put the matter bluntly , the triangle ( 2016 ) may just be the picnic at hanging rock ( 1975 ) of found - footag . . .\nas for the most enthusiastic audience reaction thus far , it has either been the wildly enthusiastic response to ' ' say amen , somebody , ' ' george t . nierenberg ' s documentary about gospel music , or the cheers that greeted the press screening of ' ' koyaanisqatsi , ' ' godfrey reggio ' s psychedelic compilation of images , with a philip glass score . why ? well , because mr . reggio ' s film is genuinely effective , and because it ' s a good deal less pretentious than any description would make it sound .

contained sphere is often reinforced by the pervasive tendency to enclose the players within a spatiotemporal frame , the so - called\nmagic circle\n, which isolates their game from the more serious tasks of daily living . the separation often consists in a literal physical precinct : a chessboard , ring , arena , field , stadium , stage , altar , etc . there are also sharp temporal boundaries , a clear beginning and an end , which clearly mark the game off as a temporary interruption of ordinary life . the game unfolds within a temporarily closed world . moreover , the existence of the magic circle is closely related to the existence of artificial rules or conventions that hold only within this enclosure . [ 4 ]\ngame designers might argue that some of these techniques undermine the very nature of play . how can a game remain a game when its boundaries are no longer clearly defined ? once again , i would recommend a careful study of the development of modern art . performance artists like kaprow rejected the presumption that there is a distinct sphere called\nart\nbound by necessary and sufficient conditions ; he organized his performances without any certainty as to whether what he was doing really was really art or not ( kaprow , 1993 ) . this gesture embraces conceptual uncertainty as a generative source . perhaps the next step for experimental designers working with digital technologies is to suspend their absolute commitment to some distinct sphere called\nplay\n, or to some self - evidently distinct art form called\ngame design\n, and begin designing frameworks for actions that may or may not be considered playful . this project demands a struggle against deep - rooted assumptions about what constitutes a proper game genre and game design method , and to cultivate an attitude of open - minded receptivity to the ambiguities , contingencies and potential risks of human play .\nfamilies now tell their life stories through homemade digital slideshows and also by photo collages made with domestic printers .\nit was an ok film . expected more . but gerard butler played a good part .\nscotsman ed mcilvenny was edited out of the captaincy he held in the match against england , because the producers of the film decided to give the position of captain to american - born walter bahr .\nin both quality of filmmaking and cynicism of spirit . this film not only announced hanson as a filmmaker well beyond his previous work (\nbased on a true story , this film tells the tale of the 1950 u . s . soccer team , who , against all odds , beat england 1 - 0 in the city of belo horizonte , brazil . although no u . s . team has ever won a world cup title , this story is about the family traditions and passions which shaped the lives of the players who made up this team of underdogs .\nimpact : by the end of 2003 , 80 million camera phones had already been sold worldwide . the first 2 megapixel camera phone , nokia ' s n90 , arrived in 2005 , and in early 2007 the feature phone ' s progress peaked with nokia ' s 5mp n95 .\n, the english coach , didn ' t want to change the team that had won against chile . matthews was in fact present in the stadium in belo horizonte during the game .\nblackwater\nis the ninth episode of the second season of game of thrones . it is the nineteenth episode of the series overall . it premiered on may 27 , 2012 . it was written by george r . r . martin and directed by neil marshall .\nreveal shot : the film opens with a closeup of monkeys frolicking amid thick foliage . a glimpse of skull island ? nope , the central park zoo .\na thousand roads / a seven arrows / telenova production ; produced by scott garen and barry clark ; directed by chris eyre .

esque bottle - clinking , is intoxicating like the best summertime anthems . maybe the problem is that both rappers want to play ja rule and neither wants to play ashanti ; the best compromise they can agree on is trading raps off on the hook and the verses \u2014 which might actually make it a better song , but makes it a harder sell to radio programmers who preferred \u201clove it when you look at me baby\u201d to \u201ci\u2019ll be that bitch that\u2019ll hold the steel for you / gild and kill for you . \u201d \u2014 a . u .\nintrepid frontiersman chris holden foils the political and personal ambitions of renegade martin garth in the ohio valley following the french and indian war .\ndespite the solid -

curated neo - soul , \u201cused to love u\u201d wasn\u2019t the most scintillating thing kanye was involved with in the mid - \u201900s , but his drum loops and vocal samples do give the break - up anthem an energy badly missing from most of legend\u2019s crooner peers at the time . gotta love yeezy delivering the church sermon in the video , too . \u2014 a . u .\n2 . pusha t , \u201cnumbers on the boards\u201d ( my name is my name , 2013 ) \u201c how ya feelin ? ya feel all right ? \u201d the voice of philly soul grinder bunny sigler asks at the beginning of \u201cnumbers on the boards . \u201d by the end of the song , the question has become purely rhetorical . \u201cnumbers\u201d is one of the most purely satisfying hip -

fire drum and synth spits and the growling brass do keep up the track\u2019s intensity , even amidst a barrage of lousy tygaisms ( \u201cmy bitch\u2019ll fight ya / hillary swank ya\u201d ) and a chorus ( \u201ci don\u2019t want to be famous , i just want to be rich\u201d ) that seems somewhat insincere . \u2014 a . u .\n6 . travis scott feat . t . i . & 2 chainz , \u201cupper echelon\u201d ( owl pharoah , 2013 ) one of the most exciting hip -

twiddler jgramm beats , regular collaborator mike dean , anthony kilhoffer , and scott himself \u2014 but the song is simultaneously so classic and so future , it\u2019s hard to imagine his involvement not being essential . \u2014 a . u .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nsince its release , \u2018 wonder woman \u2018 has done gangbusters both in the critical stakes , and ( arguably ) more importantly in the financial ones as well .\n62 . kid cudi , \u201csky might fall\u201d ( man on the moon : the end of the day , 2009 ) one of the better tracks on the kanye protege\u2019s debut lp , with muted synths and echoing drums providing a worthy backdrop for an alternately foreboding and hopeful cudi lyric . the highlight is in the ultra - minimal bridge , where everything drops out but those rickety drums as cudi tries to self - motivate , \u201ci keep running , i gotta keep up , gotta keep up . \u201d you forget how crazy this guy\u2019s potential seemed at first . \u2014 a . u .\n61 . black star , \u201cbrown sugar ( raw ) \u201d ( brown sugar soundtrack , 2002 ) a too -

dusty soul on like water for chocolate to the messianic yeezus helming two entire albums . \u201cthe people\u201d was the standout on 2007\u2019s finding forever , with its gorgeous applications of musique concrete : open - arms organ intro , hummed male voice underpinning the verses with chime punctuation , wackadoodle synth pulling the rug out from dwele\u2019s calm - sung chorus . as complex and beautiful as anything kanye\u2019s done , perhaps because common\u2019s the rare rapper willing to be another instrument in someone else\u2019s symphony . \u2014 d . w .\ngadot received a base salary of just us $ 300 , 000 for her role in the dc comics flick . reportedly , that\u2019s the same amount she was paid for a supporting role in \u2018 batman vs superman , \u2019 and it\u2019s the same amount she\u2019ll be taking home for a role in the upcoming ensemble film \u2018 justice league . \u2019\n53 . jay z feat . luke steele , \u201cwhat we talking about\u201d ( the blueprint 3 , 2009 ) the much - maligned blueprint 3 has its head ( for business ) on straighter than most people think . once this royal fanfare of a beat kicks in , it\u2019s clear that the first four minutes of the album are about one thing : jay z taking control of the conversation . the song declares how powerful he\u2019s become in a significantly more mature way than having money or pushing weight : by being a \u201csmall part of the reason the president\u2019s black . \u201d kanye helps revive jay\u2019s sneering energy when he espouses his paternalistic view of the rap game and how you can\u2019t sit on his lap . go play somewhere , he\u2019s busy . \u2014 d . w .\nso , adjustments and all , the lights are still staying on bright in tinseltown .\n70 . nas , \u201cpoppa was a player\u201d ( the lost tapes , 2002 ) per the title of this standout from nas\u2019 2002 the lost tapes collection , the queens rapper\u2019s poppa \u2014 jazz musician olu dara \u2014 was a playa . as such , kanye and mentor the madd rapper cleverly paired this sentimental yet honest portrait of a flawed man \u2014 someone perhaps better suited to be a father than a husband \u2014 with a misty arrangement that samples \u201cthe newness is gone , \u201d a 1976 solo lament by the temptations\u2019 eddie kendricks . clear -

nostalgic over . it\u2019s also one of his more creative soul twists , as you might not recognize the shards of harold melvin and the bluenotes\u2019 eternal slow - burner \u201ci miss you\u201d as they come in , even as the feeling of the song is completely transported over . if this was kanye\u2019s audition for the blueprint , it\u2019s no wonder he nailed it . \u2014 a . u .\nas the filml . a . chart ( above ) makes clear , that nationwide number is also down 14 % from last year . perhaps even more telling , this past year marked the first time since the 2012 - 2013 cycle that the total number of pilots produced was less than 200 . in terms of total share of all pilots produced , l . a . was even with the 2015 - 2016 cycle with 39 % \u2014 down 68 % from the city\u2019s all - time peak in 2006 - 2007 , when 82 % of all pilots were made in tinseltown .\nthe point is , there\u2019s a heck of a lot of cash being flung around the flick . it\u2019s just that not a lot of it got flung gadot\u2019s way , as it turns out .\nbut then again the at - the - time unproven henry cavill is said to have pocketed a whopping us $ 14million for his first appearance as superman in 2013\u2019s \u2018 man of steel . \u2019\n82 . keyshia cole , \u201ci changed my mind\u201d ( the way it is , 2004 ) an important track in \u2018ye\u2019s career development , as it was one of the first breakout singles he produced by a new artist , and one of the first where he got to do a good deal of talking on the track without actually providing a guest verse . it\u2019s enjoyable , but ten seconds into this thing and you already have everything you really need from it \u2014 the rapid - fire handclaps , the endlessly looped solomon burke hook , even a yeezy self - id \u2014 and there\u2019s not a ton to stick around for in the three minutes to follow . \u2014 a . u .\n86 . theophilus london , \u201cdo girls\u201d ( vibes , 2014 ) a near - throwback kanye beat for the year 2014 \u2014 the knocking drums , vibrating lead - guitar hook , and lightly creeping bass is a major key away from being pure \u201904 yeezy . the song\u2019s story of theophilus seducing a lesbian starts off a boast , but by the time the girl in question calls her friend to tearfully confess her infidelity , it sounds more like a cautionary tale . \u2014 a . u .\n24 . pusha t feat . chris brown , \u201csweet serenade\u201d ( my name is the name , 2013 ) hard - hitting drums , booming bass , and ghostly choir chants in the background : about as empirical a kanye beat for pusha t as the king could ask for , as he rhymes \u201cric flair s\u2013t\u201d with \u201cblair witch . \u201d and as terrifying a three - word phrase as \u201cfeat . chris brown\u201d has become in the 2010s , \u201csweet serenade\u201d is the rare opportunity to be grateful for breezy\u2019s guested presence , the singer never overstepping his bounds on the restrained , distorted chorus : \u201ci\u2019d rather say i did than let them busters say i didn\u2019t . \u201d \u2014 a . u .\n96 . mos def , \u201csunshine\u201d ( the new danger , 2004 ) mos made a moderately controversial half - rock album a decade ago dubbed the new danger and \u201csunshine\u201d is from the other half , which not enough purists heard due to said controversy . but despite its interpolation of melba moore\u2019s version of hair \u2019s \u201cthe flesh failures / let the sunshine in , \u201d it\u2019s a purist\u2019s delight of nothing but beats , rhymes , and soul , a rare time when kanye played to others \u2019 strengths . \u2014 dan weiss\nparker esse\u2019s choreography captures an old school elegance and exuberance , a romanticism that the film la la land rode to the oscars this year . in \u201cthinking of no one but me , \u201d \u00e9lodie gillett\u2019s jacquie carstone floats across the stage , held aloft by ensemble dancers david ball , travis seetoo and jonah mcintosh .\n23 . janet jackson , \u201ci want you\u201d ( damita jo , 2004 ) kanye takes damita jo waltzing , courtesy of sumptuous strings swiped from the bt express\u2019 cover of \u201c ( they long to be ) close to you . \u201d despite the whispered \u201c have your way with me \u201d insistences on the chorus , it\u2019s not even really all that sensual by janet\u2019s standards , instead prioritizing a motown - era sweetness that makes the ballroom just as fitting a setting for janet\u2019s balladry as the bedroom . \u2014 a . u .\nin a career filled with perfect brushstrokes , it\u2019s arguably the most masterful thing s - dot ever did .\nsince then , yeezy has obviously grown more loquacious , to the point where his lyrics and quotes have become such an integral part of the pop vernacular that you can echo him regularly without even realizing it . but every now and then , he\u2019ll still offer a beat to a worthy ( or occasionally less so ) contemporary without speaking on the track , just to remind us that even if he can change the musical conversation with a single line , he hasn\u2019t forgotten which half of the rapper / producer equation he made his bones with .\n43 . jay z , \u201clucifer\u201d ( the black album , 2003 ) to help ease hov into his ( infamously short - lived ) retirement , \u2018ye generously gifted mr . carter with the heart - stopping beat for \u201clucifer , \u201d powered by a pitched - up \u2014 but downright possessed \u2014 \u201cchase the devil\u201d sample . and to his credit , jay was grateful for the production , opening the track with a hall - of - fame shout - out : \u201c kanyeezy , you did it again ! you a genius ! \u201d \u2014 k . m .\n95 . beanie sigel feat . kurupt , \u201cgangsta , gangsta\u201d ( the reason , 2001 ) a piano - leaning , horn - heavy march that ranks as one of the more imposing early - yeezy beats . why the chorus is more slick rick than n . w . a is anyone\u2019s guess , though . \u2014 a . u .\n25 . monica , \u201cknock knock\u201d ( after the storm , 2003 ) it\u2019s not a direct thievery of just blaze\u2019s beat for \u201csong cry , \u201d but kanye\u2019s gently glistening , ultra - tenderized beat for monica\u2019s break - up statement of intent certainly feels like the blueprint classic . \u201cknock knock\u201d is less melodramatic with its emotion than the jay z tearjerker , though , as monica allows the production ( and the interjections by co - producer missy elliott ) to do all the sentimentalizing for her , instructing with matter - of - fact bluntness : \u201cstop knocking / don\u2019t come knocking at my door . \u201d can\u2019t see it coming down monica\u2019s eyes , for sure . \u2014 a . u .\n1 . jay z , \u201ctakeover\u201d ( the blueprint , 2001 ) the greatest diss track of the 21st century .

( when one emissary returns with a report of yet another fruitless search , the prince impatiently shoves him backward , knocking down a row of other attendants like dominoes ! ) and the dynamics of the early scenes are sweetly reversed at film\u2019s end , when the stepsisters , arriving at the wedding , are once again surprised to receive cinderella\u2019s forgiveness .\na fairy godmother magically turns cinderella ' s rags to a beautiful dress , and a pumpkin into a coach . cinderella goes to the ball , where she meets the prince - but will she remember to leave before the magic runs out ? m\u00e9li\u00e8s based the art direction on engravings by gustave dor\u00e9 . first known example of a fairy - tale adapted to film , and the first film to use dissolves to go from one scene to another .\ncinderella was m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s first major cinematic success . it did well both in french fairground cinemas and at european and american music - halls , and inspired m\u00e9li\u00e8s to create other lavishly designed storytelling films with multiple scenes . his next film with multiple scenes , joan of arc ( 1900 ) , was his first to surpass 200 meters of film in length , and was also a marked success . according to the film historian lewis jacobs , cinderella ' s use of spectacle on screen also influenced the films of cecil b . demille .\nseen in the film , as these devices are highly unusual in m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s style .\ncinderella appears in the pilot movie sofia the first : once upon a princess , where she helps sofia make friends with amber , her stepsister .\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 .\ncendrillon ( cinderella ) by georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s is the oldest known film adaptation of the homonym charles perrault ' s 1697 fairy tale . the film was extraordinary then for having multiple scenes , using six distinct sets and five changes of scene within the film ; it is also the first movie to utilize a dissolve transition between scenes . cendrillon was shot in the\nglass house\nstudio designed by m\u00e9li\u00e8s himself and located in montreuil , seine - saint - denis , france . in 1912 m\u00e9li\u00e8s made another adaptation of the story ,\ncendrillon ou la pantoufle merveilleuse\n( cinderella or the glass slipper ) .\nthis film is not currently playing on mubi but 30 other great films are . see what\u2019s now showing\ndavid thomson , a biographical dictionary of film , london , deutsch , 1994 , p . 504 .\nanother cinderella story was a modern re - telling of the original featuring the likes of selena gomez and drew seely . this version was retold as a modern story that was deemed as more of a romantic comedy and a thematic sequel to the 2004 film , a cinderella story , which was widely hated by both fans and critics . the follow - up was met with praise , which led to a third release in the ( unconnected ) series titled , \u201ca cinderella story : once upon a song , \u201d which was also deemed a flop by critics and moviegoers .\nthe best introductions to m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 biography are david robinson , georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s : father of film fantasy , london , museum of the moving image , 1993 , and jacques meny\u2019s film la magie m\u00e9li\u00e8s ( 1997 ) .\nthe first credited ( short ) film in the history of the story was a french piece produced by georges meiles . the film met with little critical review and was deemed a complete failure at the time .\nalong with its imaginative technique , this film is notable for its storytelling . the plot of \u201ccinderella\u201d familiar to most of us today stems from the french version published by charles perrault in the late 17th century , and most of the silent films discussed above are clearly based on that model . but in the meantime the brothers grimm had published a very different \u201caschenputtel\u201d ( \u201ccinderella\u201d ) in 1812 , and reiniger\u2019s film , produced in germany , preserves some elements from their version . here we see cinderella forced to pick lentils out of the fireplace ashes ; the birds that help her with these and other tasks ; the heroine praying at her mother\u2019s grave ; the tree that magically provides cinderella with her ball gown ; and the stepsister who hacks off a large chunk of her own foot to fit it into the slipper\u2014which is then drenched with blood !\nlouise lagrange , who would later appear in many french and hollywood films , plays one of cinderella ' s sisters . in a conversation with the writers of a\nbut this is a m\u00e9li\u00e8s film , after all , and the plot takes a back seat to a spectacular display of screen - and stagecraft . the scene of the fairy godmother preparing cinderella for the ball\u2014transforming the pumpkin into a coach , continuing through the assembly of cinderella\u2019s retinue of footmen and servants , and climaxing with the appearance of her gown\u2014is the centerpiece of the film , a sumptuous banquet of stage and movie magic that occupies about a third of the total footage . true to m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 background , it\u2019s staged like a conjurer\u2019s performance : beginning with a nondescript staging area outside the house , cutting away as cinderella gathers the mice , rats , and lizards that will be transformed by the godmother\u2019s magic , then returning to the \u201cstage\u201d as more and more layers of extravagance are added , culminating in a lush theatrical tableau as cinderella prepares to leave for the ball .\none camera effect may be overlooked by the modern viewer : m\u00e9li\u00e8s incorporates several cross - dissolves in the course of the story . the picture follows cinderella\u2019s progress by dissolving from her cottage to the royal ball , and dissolves back again when she returns . after the prince finds her , we dissolve again to the church exterior to see their wedding procession . in 1899 , of course , these dissolves had to be performed in the camera , multiplying the complexities of m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 stagecraft in producing this film . one always hesitates to use the word \u201cfirst\u201d carelessly , but cross - dissolves were undeniably an innovation at this point in history , and charles musser has ventured the claim that this was perhaps the first film to use them .\nfor example , in cinderella there is a dance number by old father time and a chorus of girls who transform back and forth between human and clock [ see video above ] . i guess it could be argued that this enhances the fantastical theme of the film ; nonetheless , it is clear that these prolonged dance sequences are an opportunity for the demonstration of m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019s film techniques .\nthe cinderella castle is an attraction at walt disney world ' s magic kingdom and tokyo disneyland at the tokyo disney resort . both serve as globally recognized icons for their respective theme parks . cinderella and the other disney princesses have a meet and greet attraction called princess fairytale hall at magic kingdom .

era filmmakers couldn\u2019t resist the idea of updating the cinderella theme to their own time . georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s , in addition to his faithful adaptations , produced in 1909 a contemporary comedy about a girl who buys a pair of shoes and loses one of them . the man who finds the shoe places a classified ad , and he and the girl meet and eventually marry\u2014the attendant publicity prompting a new craze : shoes bought and deliberately lost by women seeking romance ! vitagraph\u2019s a modern cinderella actually did transpose the cinderella tale to a contemporary setting , with the heroine ( mary fuller ) and her stepsister rooming together in a boarding house . here the fairy godmother was a fellow boarder , an older lady , apparently of some means , who took an interest in cinderella , bought her a new wardrobe , and provided her own limousine to take the girl to the ball . there cinderella met the kind lady\u2019s grandson , who later discovered her misplaced shoe , traced it to her through the shoe store , and was reunited with her for a happy ending . this picture survives today , and\u2014although the stepsister\u2019s suppression of cinderella is a little harder to accept in the egalitarian context of twentieth -

[ 44 ] according to the spokesman - review , woods once said in an interview with starlog that\ni love the idea that after i\u2019m gone , children will still be hearing my voice [ as cinderella ] . \u201d [ 45 ] in 2013 , film school rejects recognized woods as one of\n7 no - name actors who had iconic roles\n, ranking the actress first and writing ,\nwoods . . . really set the bar high , as she managed to audition for the part of cinderella without even realize she had done it .\n[ 46 ]\nher fairy godmother appears to make her dreams come true and transforms her torn dress into a beautiful shimmering silver gown . before cinderella leaves , her godmother warns her that the spell will be broken at midnight . at the ball , cinderella dances with prince charming and they immediately fall in love with each other . as twelve o ' clock approaches , she hurries to leave , hoping to prevent the spell from breaking at the ball , which could cause her to get caught by her stepmother or stepsisters . in her haste , she loses one of her glass slippers on the staircase but fails to retrieve it in time . cinderella hurries into her coach as it prepares to leave . the spell breaks and cinderella is in rags once more before reminiscing her dance with the prince and thanking her godmother for all she ' s done for her . the next day , the prince announces he will marry the woman whose foot fits into the glass slipper . lady tremaine hears cinderella humming the same song that had played at the ball and figures out cinderella was the girl prince charming fell in love with . cinderella is locked in the tower by her stepmother , who refuses to let her have the opportunity to try on the slipper , but her animal friends help her escape . she hurries downstairs to try on the glass slipper . knowing the slipper will fit , lady tremaine plots revenge by causing the footman to trip and shatter the slipper , causing a fire when it hits the ground . cinderella reveals that she has kept the other slipper . she tries it on , and it fits perfectly . she and the prince are married soon after . [ 15 ]\nthough it ' s the condensed version that would be expanded in 1912 , this short film captures the overall plot of the movie quickly .\nthe tiff cinematheque series the enchanted screen : fantasy in silent film begins saturday , august 5 , with many screenings featuring live piano accompaniment .\nit is a classical story about cinderella , her evil stepmother , and the prince , but told with caustic satirical undertones by the soviet writers evgeny schwartz and nikolai erdman . many phrases from the movie became aphorisms .\nlike the reiniger film discussed above , this other german film preserves some elements from the brothers grimm , along with some of the perrault standbys and some delightful inventions apparently hatched by berger himself . the fairy godmother ( frieda richard ) plays a strong and proactive role here , not only providing the magic that enables cinderella to attend the ball , but stepping in on numerous other occasions to help her out of some difficulty . the scene of cinderella\u2019s escape from the ball , just before the stroke of midnight , demonstrates the film\u2019s charm and cinematic invention : as she nears the palace doorway , her coach , visible just outside , suddenly explodes and is replaced by a clock tower reminding her of the time . she evades the pursuing prince and crosses a lovely little bridge with an ornate covered section in the center and breakaway sections at either end . when the prince reaches the bridge , the godmother causes the outer sections to swing away from the center , stranding him there , then tosses a cloak of invisibility over cinderella , who uses it to disappear and make her escape .\nm\u00e9li\u00e8s modeled the film ' s visual style on the engravings of gustave dor\u00e9 , who had illustrated the story for an edition of perrault ' s fairy tales . ( dor\u00e9 was stylistically influential across m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s career , especially in this film and in his film adaptations of four other works dor\u00e9 had illustrated : red riding hood , blue beard , the wandering jew , and baron munchausen ' s dream . ) the direct inspiration for the film of cinderella was probably a stage adaptation premiered in 1896 by the th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la galerie - vivienne and played by the troupe raymond at m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s own theatre of illustions , the th\u00e9atre robert - houdin , at christmastime of 1897 ; m\u00e9li\u00e8s may also have been inspired by the th\u00e9\u00e2tre du ch\u00e2telet ' s lavish 1895 stage production of the story .\nthat zecca had\nmassacred\nthe film , cutting out the best scenes , including one in which pumpkins race each other across a garden .\nonce thought lost forever , this is the earliest known film of any shakespeare play . derived from the her majesty\u2019s theatre production of king john , this surviving fragment contains only one scene , although the original presented four scenes and ran at four minutes in duration . courtesy of eye film institute\nthe american biograph at the palace \u2013 an advertising film for biograph films ( which were billed in the uk as american biograph ) at the palace theatre , london , highlighting films of the dreyfus trial . from richard brown and barry anthony , a victorian film enterprise . ( 1999 ) .\nthe iconic\nbibbidi - bobbidi - boo\nmusical sequence in which cinderella ' s fairy godmother magically transforms the character ' s tattered rags into a beautiful ball gown has garnered widespread critical acclaim , receiving positive reviews , accolades and recognition from several entertainment critics . allmovie described the sequence as\nsplendidly done ,\n[ 35 ] while hitfix deemed it the film ' s best moment . [ 60 ] according to urltoken , the transformation of cinderella ' s dress into a ballgown remains a common favorite and\none of the most iconic pieces of disney animation because of what it means for the titular character .\n[ 61 ] stylecaster wrote that the scene is responsible for introducing the common\nmovie makeover ,\nwriting ,\never since cinderella ditched those rags and threw on a ball gown and a pair of glass slippers , movie audiences have fallen for the beloved transformation storyline .\n[ 62 ] featuring cinderella in its list of\n13 movie makeovers that still totally rock our socks off\n, glamour summarized the scene ' s role in the film as\nthe movie makeover that sees a merry band of rodents help cindera [ sic ] lla to make the perfect dress , eventually go to the ball and ultimately win the heart of a prince .\n[ 63 ] urltoken also included cinderella in its\nfavorite movie makeovers\nlist , accrediting the film and disney with\nfirst introducing us to the head - to - toe makeover ,\nconcluding ,\nunrealistic expectations are born .\n[ 64 ]\ngus and jaq , with help of the other mice , and , of course , the fairy godmother , set off to make a new book to narrate what happens after the ending of the previous story by stringing three segments of stories together , resulting in three individual stories :\naim to please\n,\ntall tail\n, and\nan uncommon romance\n. in the first story , cinderella and prince charming return home and a party begins shortly afterward . in the second story ,\ntall tail\n, cinderella works on planning to build up a festival . the mouse named jaq in the previous film has become a human named sir hugh . and in the third story ,\nan uncommon romance\n, cinderella helps her younger stepsister anastasia reconcile with the baker , even though her stepmother lady tremaine has forbidden it . near the end of the film , she reads the book that the mice made for her . [ 16 ]\nwould be better if it weren ' t for the weird pacing\u2014we ' re only two - thirds of the way through the film when cinderella tries the slipper on and is reunited with her prince . compared to the brisk pace with which the rest of the story has been told , the final wedding and dance scene feels like it was meant for a longer movie .\nthough it may be something of an inappropriate speculation , given dreyfus\u2019s jewish faith , there is something of the christian stations of the cross in the early dreyfus films . each illustrates the key stages in the victim\u2019s noble passage to the point where false justice is executed through a series of tableaux . in each the victim is noble , passive , and wronged . the narrative does not develop in a form that is understandable to anyone new to the story , but instead represents passages of suffering told through tableaux that the faithful will recognise as having special meaning . it is interesting that the main multi - scene film narratives made in the 1890s are the two l\u2019affaire dreyfus films , assorted lives of christ ( by lumi\u00e8re , path\u00e9 and others ) , and m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 cendrillion ( 1899 ) , or cinderella \u2013 another episodic tale of suffering and redemption .\nthe film\u2019s detailed synopsis indicates that this was a lavish and mostly faithful adaptation of the tale\u2014with another variation . here the prince ( t . j . carrigan ) , to avoid being forced into an arranged marriage , fled his father\u2019s castle in disguise , and he and cinderella met in the first reel , each unaware of the other\u2019s identity . this led to a plot complication later on , when cinderella was \u201cheartbroken\u201d to discover that her romantic ideal was the prince\u2014apparently under the impression that he had forgotten her in the meantime . needless to say , the two were reunited and all ended happily .\nhistory has shown a fond interest in the generational retelling of great stories , fables and fairy tales , and cinderella is just the next in a long - line of successful refreshes of classic tales . a quick search of previous cinderella movies leads to the conclusion that this refresh might be slightly different from most , as the imdb page alone credits over 100 previous attempts at retelling the story , or tailoring it to fit new audiences , or generations .\nin 1965 , the rodgers and hammerstein musical was again produced and released as a direct - to - television film , this time starring an 18 - year - old lesley ann warren in the leading role . this film was re - broadcast ( in color ) annually for the next 10 years .\nfor extensive background information on the dreyfus affair , the personalities and the issues involved , see the generally excellent dreyfus rehabiliated website . unfortunately its section on the films of the affair is muddled . for a concise and informative book acount , see eric cahm , the dreyfus affair in french society and politics . for an atmospheric eye - witness account of the second trial itself , read g . w . steevens\u2019 the tragedy of dreyfus ( 1899 ) , available from the internet archive .\nafter its musical adaptation , rodgers and hammerstein had their go at a remake ( their first of three ) in 1957 . this made - for - television film featured julie andrews as cinderella and was the most successful adaptation to date . the 1957 version boasted the largest audience in history ( at the time of its premiere ) with a total of 107 , 000 , 000 people having seen the film . to put that into perspective , that was a full 60 percent of the population in the united states at the time .\nlest we forget , walt disney himself produced a version of \u201ccinderella\u201d during the silent period\u2014although his version was , by definition , about as loose as an adaptation can get . this cinderella was one of the laugh - o - grams , the series of \u201cmodernized fairy tales\u201d that walt and his friends produced in kansas city at the very beginning of their animation careers . here the traditional tales were deliberately satirized and used as springboards for a series of contemporary jazz age gags , and cinderella was no exception . in fact , considering the playful satire of the young laugh - o - gram artists , it\u2019s surprising how much of the traditional romantic mood of the tale survives in this reel . as subsequent decades of cartoon production would reveal , something about the \u201ccinderella\u201d story beguiled the most mischievous cartoon - makers who set out to lampoon it . even that inveterate prankster tex avery indulged in a fleeting romantic interlude in his 1938 warner bros . short cinderella meets fella . in this laugh - o - gram version , walt and company interrupt their irreverent gags and non - sequitur puns long enough to allow cinderella and her prince a brief moonlit moment on the balcony , their silhouetted figures outlined against the night sky . it\u2019s a nice moment , achieved with the most basic of production resources\u2014modestly suggesting the charming fantasy worlds that walt would later create on the screen in the sound era ."]}

in a post - episode interview that aired in hbogo , david benioff placed great emphasis on daenerys , \u201can unarmed little woman , \u201d taking care of herself . she didn\u2019t have a dragon fly in to do her dirty work for her . but the bigger audience aside , does this really feel all that different from season 1 ?\nthis was my first gayle forman novel . i ' d been seeing her name pop up frequently , so when this became available on the library overdrive , i picked it up , not knowing much about it . hmm , talk about relating to a character - in this case , it almost felt like too much , especially since maribeth , the protagonist of this short novel , and i are of a similar vintage . there were many things i liked about this novel , besides its relatability . i appreciated forman daring to write about a mother -\nthe sain\n3 . 5 immensely readable and entirely easy to relate . how many times when all my seven children were growing up , when i was ferrying them back and forth to school , outside activities , trying to keep up with housework , cooking , laundry , did i feel like getting in my car and running away ?

if dany fails and re - focuses her attention on westeros , that means tyrion and varys failed as well . that\u2019s not the dynamic duo we came to know and love in season 2 . tyrion is a fool who can\u2019t speak the language this season and while that might be an effective way to undermine a white savior storyline , it\u2019s not the best use of peter dinklage .\ntvline | what has this past week been like in terms of the reaction from fans ?

\u201d the fan asked . \u201cprobably not , \u201d he replied . since daenerys freeing herself from the dothraki hasn\u2019t happened in the books yet , we have no way of knowing if martin plans to bend that fire - proofing rule .\nin the original planned series , daenerys killed khal drogo in order to get vengeance for her dead brother viserys . she fled from his faithful dothraki bloodriders into the wilderness , stumbled across a clutch of dragon eggs , and a \u201cyoung dragon will give daenerys the power to bend the dothraki to her will . then she begins to plan for her invasion of the seven kingdoms . \u201d she invades by the second book and is fighting ice zombies by the third . so , yes , all this slaver\u2019s bay stuff was never supposed to happen . if george had stuck to his plan , daenerys would be squaring off with the night\u2019s king instead of moping around meereen . and while that\u2019s probably still on the menu , we\u2019ll have to wait a few more seasons to get there .\ntvline | are you at all bummed that sweets and daisy reunited during the time jump ?

wire sandals , and before a crowd of thousands , an ac current of 6 , 000 volts was sent coursing through the elephant until she toppled to her side , dead .\nthe background story for this terrible footage is that topsy , an elephant who literally helped to build coney island as a working animal , had killed three men in as many years . they had in one way or another abused her ; the third fed her a burning cigarette as though it were a peanut , burning her sensitive trunk .\nthis short actuality from edison is a fairly unpleasant film , which will upset some viewers . fair warning : it does depict the actual death of an animal . it also has been frequently misinterpreted by modern viewers , and therefore is an important part of our study of the history of movies .\nbecause it shows mainly only the lights it ' s like an outline of coney island , patterns in bright white against black , & quite pretty .\ntopsy , the famous\nbaby\nelephant , was electrocuted at coney island on january 4 , 1903 . we secured an excellent picture of the execution . the scene opens with keeper leading topsy to the place of execution . after copper plates or electrodes were fastened to her feet , 6 , 600 volts of electricity were turned on . the elephant is seen to become rigid , throwing her trunk in the air , and then is completely enveloped in smoke from the burning electrodes . the current is cut off and she falls forward to the ground dead .\nas the story goes , edison found his target in topsy , a murderous circus elephant that was slated for death . but as is so often the case , that tale is not quite so simple .\nan aging doorman , after being fired from his prestigious job at a luxurious hotel is forced to face the scorn of his friends , neighbours and society .\n( 1903 ) . these two films really do portray orphans , so there ' s an underlying sadness even to the sweetness of these films of children .\nthe shortest possible answer is that he didn ' t , at least not directly . thomas edison , one of the giants of american history , is often credited ( or more accurately , maligned ) with using electricity to kill an elephant as part of a publicity stunt . edison may have been a flawed man , but he probably had nothing to do with elephant murder , although a cursory glance at his background makes it easy to see why many people attribute this act of cruelty to him . the story begins \u2014 and ends \u2014 with darkness , both literal and figurative .\nas an elegant maestro of mirage and delusion drapes his beautiful female assistant with a gauzy textile , much to our amazement , the lady vanishes into thin air .\nsoviet montage theory is an approach to understanding and creating cinema that relies heavily upon editing ( montage is french for\nassembly\nor\nediting\n) .\nas the camera looks down an open road , a horse and carriage approaches , and passes by to one side of the field of view . soon afterwards , an automobile comes up the road , straight towards the camera . as it gets nearer , the occupants start to wave frantically , but can a collision be avoided ?\nwestinghouse was horrified by the reports of kemmler\u2019s execution . \u201cit has been a brutal affair , \u201d he said . \u201cthey could have done better with an ax . \u201d\nan elephant will be self -

laced carrots and strangling her with a cable .\nthe movie is about an elderly couple struggling to survive in a decaying neighborhood , and are terrorized by gangs . during the opening credit , the thunderbolt can be seen in the background .\nbut was edison to blame ? did he have anything to do with the execution of topsy ? the answer is an emphatic \u201cno . \u201d topsy was sentenced to death by luna park officials after she had killed three men over a three - month period . that she had , under the goading of her drunken handler , menaced the local police and some workmen likely also influenced amusement park officials in their decision to rid themselves of the elephant .\nit is worth noting that none of edison\u2019s extant correspondence from the period mentions topsy or the electrocution of an elephant at coney island or in any other way links edison to the execution . and none directs gilmore or the edison manufacturing co . to make a film of the event . in fact , the correspondence between edison and gilmore during january and february 1903 ( there is none from december of the previous year ) chiefly concerns patents for phonograph speakers .\n, the 2013 film that vilified seaworld for use of captive orcas . many in the theme park community have attacked the movie as a hit piece , while others in the anti - animal captivity community used it as a call to arms . but for all the discussion and passion that the movie generated , history tells us that this issue is as old as the industry itself . if told completely , this story shines a different kind of light on the culture of the times , and also on an iconic figure in american history . once upon a time , a 110 years before blackfish and tilikum there was another movie , and an elephant named topsy .\nedison got his big chance , though , when the luna park zoo at coney island decided that topsy , a cranky female elephant who had squashed three handlers in three years ( including one idiot who tried feeding her a lighted cigarette ) , had to go .\nearly movies by edison manufacturing , american mutoscope and biograph were were five minute one -

hound thomas alva edison ( who can be seen\nfearlessly\nleading the unwary elephant ) volunteered personally to kill her horrifically , having already gotten his jollies killing dogs & cats by this method .\nedison at the time was engaged in his own free - for - all , battling nikola tesla and george westinghouse for control of america ' s electric infrastructure . edison had declared that his direct current system was safe , but that tesla and westinghouse ' s alternating current was a deadly menace . to prove it , edison had been publicly electrocuting dogs and cats for years . and it was edison who had convinced new york to use tesla and westinghouse ' s\ndeadly\nac for its electric chair .\nvitascope was an early film projector first demonstrated in 1895 by charles francis jenkins and thomas armat . they had made modifications to jenkins patented\nphantoscope\n, which cast images via film & electric light onto a wall or screen .\nelectricity will kill a man \u201cin the ten -

dating true narrative , the films simply show the progress of a vehicle moving forwards , usually shot by strapping a cameraman to the front . the term phantom ride was applied because the position of the camera meant that only the track and scenery could be seen and the movement appeared to be coming from an invisible force .\nin a letter to edison , he wrote ,\ni believe there has been a systemic attempt on the part of some people to do a great deal of mischief and create as great a difference as possible between the edison company and the westinghouse electric co . , when there ought to be an entirely different condition of affairs .\na gang of thieves lure a man out of his home so that they can rob it and threaten his wife and children . the family barricade themselves in an interior room , but the criminals are well - equipped for breaking in . when the father finds out what is happening , he must race against time to get back home .\nnow , you can find various places on the internet that blame thomas edison for the death of this elephant . these claims are inaccurate , and result from poor historical study . having heard that edison waged a war against alternating current that inflated its dangers and suggested that people would be electrocuted by it , they have concluded that this movie was part of that campaign . it is not . the \u201cwar of the currents\u201d was over for more than ten years by the time this was produced , and alternating current was already the standard at edison\u2019s remaining plants at the time . because of the early date of the war of the currents , no movies were produced to support it . the movie \u201c pan - american exposition at night \u201d depicts a display of alternating current lights one year before this movie was made . in short , this movie represents a tragic execution of an animal in no way at fault for its inability to get along with human beings after they had systematically mistreated her , and it exploits the pain of that animal for purposes of spectacle , but thomas edison did not use it to make an argument regarding alternating current .\nbooks : mark essig , edison & the electric chair , walker and company , 2003 . craig brandon , the electric chair : an unnatural american history , mcfarland & company , inc . , 1999 . gilbert king , the execution of willie francis : race , murder , and the search for justice in the american south , basic civitas books , 2008 .\nhe was so dedicated to discrediting westinghouse and tesla that he took a sheet of tin , poured water on it then attached it to an ac power source . in front of reporters he had invited to his lab , he had a dog try and drink the water , the animal falling over dead as soon at its mouth came in contact with the electrified metal .\nthroughout it retains an air of the macabre , weird dolls & mannequins , shouting barkers , eerie angles of whirling rides like the virginia wheel & the cyclone , the screaming of frightened funseekers , hairy arms tearing tickets , the promise of being half - killed , humanity swarming like insects as henry morgan narrates with venomous irony ,\nyou & i in the sun , you & i alone .\nany normal human being will be repulsed by what they see on this short and badly deteriorated film . the elephant\u2019s questionable \u2018murderous\u2019 behaviour doesn\u2019t really justify her electrocution . she\u2019s docile enough as she\u2019s led to her death , suggesting she\u2019s no rogue . despite the graininess of the picture , the viewer can easily identify the moment the poor animal is zapped by the way her huge body stiffens . a second later , smoke rises from around her feet and a few seconds after that she topples to the ground . that\u2019s entertainment , folks .\na young wife and her musician husband live in poverty in a new york city tenement . the husband ' s job requires him to go away for for a number of days . on his return , he is robbed by the neighborhood gangster . sometime later , an unrelated mob shoot -

like films contain no plots , no stories , and no characters \u2013 such things having not yet been invented \u2013 but are instead real - time glimpses of actual events , people , and places . primitive yet powerful , the films show not staged scenes but real life , the people in them not actors but ordinary new yorkers , going about their daily business , utterly unaware they are being captured forever by this new and magical medium .\nwithin a year , westinghouse electric began installing its own ac generators around the country , focusing mostly on the less populated areas that edison\u2019s system could not reach . but westinghouse was also making headway in cities like new orleans , selling electricity at a loss in order to cut into edison\u2019s business . by 1887 , after only a year in the business , westinghouse had already more than half as many generating stations as edison . the concern at edison was palpable , as sales agents around the country were demoralized by westinghouse\u2019s reach into rural and suburban areas . but thomas edison had an idea . surely westinghouse\u2019s system must be more dangerous , what with all that voltage passing through the wires . \u201cjust as certain as death , \u201d edison predicted , \u201cwestinghouse will kill a customer within 6 months after he puts in a system of any size . \u201d\nin november 1887 , edison received a letter from a dentist in buffalo , new york , who was trying to develop a more humane method of execution than hanging . having witnessed a drunk man accidentally kill himself by touching a live electric generator , alfred p . southwick became convinced that electricity could provide a quicker , less painful alternative for criminals condemned to death . perhaps the wizard of menlo park might have some thoughts about the best electric current \u201cto produce death with certainty in all cases . \u201d edison , who opposed capital punishment , at first declined to get involved with southwick\u2019s project . but when the dentist persisted , edison , recognizing the opportunity that had landed in his lap , wrote back to say that although he would \u201cjoin heartily in an effort to totally abolish capital punishment , \u201d he did have some thoughts about electric currents in which to dispose of \u201ccriminals under sentence of death . \u201d\nwestinghouse was livid . he faced millions of dollars in losses if edison\u2019s propaganda campaign convinced the public that his ac current would be lethal to homeowners . westinghouse contributed $ 100 , 000 toward legal fees for kemmler\u2019s appeal to the u . s . supreme court , where it was argued that death in the electric chair amounted to cruel and unusual punishment . both kemmler and westinghouse were unsuccessful , and on august 6 , 1890 , kemmler was strapped into harold brown\u2019s chair at auburn prison and wired to an ac dynamo . when the current hit him , kemmler\u2019s fist clenched so tight that blood began to trickle from his palm down the arm of the chair . his face contorted , and after 17 seconds , the power was shut down . arthur southwick , \u201cthe father of the electric chair , \u201d was in attendance and proclaimed to the witnesses , \u201cthis is the culmination of ten years work and study . we live in a higher civilization today . \u201d\nwhen thomas edison , the so - called wizard of menlo who was always quick to claim the credit for his underlings\u2019 toil and to fiercely crush any competitor who threatened to diminish the profits he expected to make from his staff\u2019s labours , heard about the plan to kill topsy , he promptly offered the use of his technicians to manage the public execution , for which the circus owners planned to sell tickets at 25 cents a head . you might wonder why edison would make such an offer . well , he was in the middle of a titanic tussle with george westinghouse who , with former edison assistant nicolas tesla , had devised a system of alternating current to rival edison\u2019s own direct current . edison was waging a concerted campaign to discredit alternating current , falsely claiming that it was vastly more dangerous than his own direct current , and so he ensured that the current that coursed through topsy\u2019s body was ac in order to associate the animal\u2019s unpleasant death with westinghouse\u2019s rival system .\nthe point of photog\u00e9nie is entirely visual . it can ' t be reduced to words . in other words , what you can do is point at it , point it out , but you can ' t define it . however , to define it by circling around it , the quickest thing is to say that - - when something ' s photographed - - one view would be that you just copy it . it ' s exactly as it looks in real life . the other view would be : no , that ' s not true ; it ' s transformed . and it ' s transformed in a way that is both creative and revelatory in the sense that it ' s not just distorting something but revealing elements to it , you know ? that ' s the idea . it ' s the way that a photograph or a film transforms what it films or photographs , and transforms it in a way that reveals aspects of it - - not just viewpoints of it - - but a sense of texture , a sense of form , and so on , which you might not notice if you look at it in real life . giving an object meaning through film\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

the county has formed a team for the first time in honour of hosting the games , with its 17 - strong contingent including monklands quartet joe allan , marie grant , james regan and craig ferguson .\ngotti took control of the gambino family after engineering the assassination of his predecessor , paul castellano , in 1985 . he went on to make flagrant power moves , courting the press all the while . he cut a dashing figure , draped in expensive double - breasted suits that might as well have been suits of armor , as far as prosecutors were concerned .\nbut \u201cassassination games\u201d subverts expectations because it focuses not on the conflict , but on the inner turmoil of these two men . though their characters unfortunately never rise above genre clich\u00e9 , the film loads up on quiet moments , such as brazil practicing the violin , or flint by his wife\u2019s bedside , allowing the actors to brood and emote . flint is the more broken of the two , fueled by anger , and adkins has a cruel tom buchanan - esque beauty to his physicality . van damme seems the most dead inside \u2014 a subplot where he saves a local prostitute from her abusive pimp forces him to raise his fist , but not his voice . again , he\u2019s done this thousands of times .\nnow , let\u2019s talk for a moment about ernie barbarash\u2019s direction . ernie has done films in many genres and is improving every film . assassination games is a big step up for ernie as he was able to take a small budget and make a film that , while flawed in some aspects , was genuinely enjoyable . some other reviewers mention slow , dragging parts in the middle and yes they are there . i did find myself checking the time , but i am obsessive compulsive and did that probably twenty times in transformers : dark of the moon . he was given a simplistic script , though better than most dtv movies , and a small budget and overall i think he did a respectable job .\nother research traditions have focused on such issues as the feasibility of games for military planning , training , and rehabilitation ( sabin , 2014 ; mead , 2013 ) , examined the potential of peace games or anti - war titles ( morwood , 2014 ; kwiatkowski , 2016 ) , or have directed attention to game design and development from both instrumental and critical vantage points ( sabin , 2014 ; \u0161isler et . al . , 2014 ; perla , 2016 ; flanagan , 2016 ) . the present special issue comprises contributions adopting perspectives from all the approaches highlighted above , and in this way , we hope , provides a timely update on a constantly evolving debate .\nthis book cogently demonstrates the importance of these games for octavian who used them to advance politically in his rivalry with antony . it should be noted that antony continued to challenge octavian ' s legitimacy , in particular by erecting a statue of caesar on the rostra with the inscription ,\nparenti optime merito\n( cic . fam . 12 . 3 . 1 , dated 2 october , 44 ) , and octavian continually had to reaffirm his , in particular in his contio in november , 44 , when he swore an oath on caesar ' s statue ( cic . att . 15 . 28 . 4 ) . but it was the games and the appearance of the comet that provided octavian with what could readily be interpreted as divine confirmation of caesar ' s divinity and his own right to succeed his adopted father . rl show how all this was possible while at the same time introducing new evidence to the debate and clearing up some old issues concerning the appearance of the comet at octavian ' s games .\nafter the assassination austria - hungary declared war on serbia . soon europe , and much of the world , spiraled into war as one country after another , enmeshed in a web of previously established alliances , took sides \u2014 either with the central powers ( germany , austria - hungary and their allies ) or the allies ( france , britain , russia and others , including , eventually , the united states ) .\nthe contributions to the present special issue can be roughly divided into two categories that are somewhat characteristic of major directions in game studies . a number of articles emphasize formal features of games at the level of rules , mechanics , and / or narrative , and show how potentials for meaning and ( inter ) action are created at this formal level ( chapman , sterczewski , ford ) . other articles included here present empirical research that points to actual player experiences ( j\u00f8rgensen , healey , o\u2019neill & feenstra , banks & cole ) . the piece by \u0161isler combines both perspectives , while the article by guanio - uluru views the cultural significance of war games through the lens of a different medium .\ndeterding , s .

( i am an introvert by nature , and performing in front of millions during the olympic games gave me anxiety , as does speaking at events in front of thousands now . )\nthe article by jamie banks and john g . cole presents an empirical study on the role of war games and avatars in military veteran gamers\u2019 self - coping strategies . arguing for the usability of everyday gameplay for the reduction of stress - related pathologies among military personnel , the authors show how coping practices such as escapism / diversion , managing physical / psychological maladies , receiving social support , and connecting with civilian life can be enhanced by gameplay in informal settings .\nfortunately , nobody was hurt . mckinley didn\u2019t seem to mind , she writes . but his secretary george cortelyou was worried , just like he was worried about an assassination attempt at the world ' s fair meet - and - greet , where crowds would surround the president at a public event , giving as assassin a prime opportunity . mckinley\u2019s predecessors lincoln and garfield had both been shot at somewhat similar events\u2013lincoln at the theater and garfield in a train station waiting room . cortelyou kept taking the event off mckinley\u2019s official itinerary , robertson writes\u2013but the president insisted .\nthis book , the result of a collaboration between a classicist ( ramsey ) and a physicist ( licht ) [ hereafter rl ] , examines the significance of octavian ' s games and the comet . it is divided into two sections : the first deals with the games themselves , their name , date , and significance , calling into question some old assumptions ; the second deals with the comet , its historicity , the sources , including chinese evidence for its appearance , its probable orbit , and its interpretation as a positive omen . there are also eight appendices and 12 figures . the chapters , which include intricate mathematical equations , calculations and scientific theory , are prefaced with abstracts clearly summarizing each chapter ' s thesis , argumentation , and conclusion for those ( like the reviewer ) whose last math course is but a foggy memory . for this review , i will focus on matters of historical interest and leave the scientific issues to a more qualified reviewer .\ngehrig delivered a farewell speech to a crowd of 61 , 808 at yankee stadium on july 4 , 1939 , during a sweltering break between games in a doubleheader with the washington senators . the yankees had lost the first game , 3 - 2 , and gehrig took the field with his aging teammates from the 1927 world - series - champion yankees , a fearsome lineup known as murderers\u2019 row . he was overcome with emotion but still delivered what some have called baseball\u2019s gettysburg address .\nnormally , writes robertson , anybody who was coming near the president was required to have empty hands and present themselves to whoever was guarding him for inspection before approaching . but because it was so hot , the rules were waived : people were allowed to continue carrying handkerchiefs to wipe the sweat off their faces , which made a perfect hiding place for a gun . also , while a secret service agent would normally have stood on the president\u2019s left , he had been replaced by a local guard who could tell mckinley the names of local dignitaries . these factors both contributed to the assassination .\nfilms , documentaries and books have been made about lee\u2019s life , and cultural references to him abound . he has inspired video game characters , even entire games . yellow outfits , like the jumpsuit he wore in \u201c game of death , \u201d a film that was released posthumously , were also worn by the lead character in berry gordy\u2019s \u201c the last dragon \u201d and uma thurman in the climactic scenes of the first part of quentin tarantino\u2019s martial arts epic , \u201c kill bill vol . 1 . \u201d\nsure it ' s another lone hitman movie , the generic action flicks that jason statham and his transporter / crank / the mechanic / killer elite fold of movies we all love . but this one has van damme and it has adkins and somehow it held my interest for the entire duration . sure the bad guy and his goons were just assassination fodder , the killing of innocents for motivation and the quick witted banter between the 2 stars was a bit funny . but i like to think of this as a webisode of the expendables 2 . it ' s just a taste of what two fuckin huge action stars together can get done .\nthe contributions summarized above show that the nexus between war , play , and games constitutes a complex and dynamic terrain open for a variety of inquiries combining different methods and theoretical frames . the present special issue received a huge number of submissions and only a handful of them made it through a thorough double - blind peer review process . we hope that the authors whose contributions could not be included here will also keep up their important work . too many valuable perspectives and findings could not be included this time and too many questions and problems still remain underexplored . at present we are glad to be able to present a snapshot - - a freeze - frame - - of ongoing debates and scholarly work that , we hope , helps to map the field and inspire new critical inquiries .\nyet , as schulzke ( 2013 ) among others has pointed out , many studies that present critical perspectives on the military - game - propaganda nexus suffer from a tendency to merely assume problematic consequences of military games without however adequately explaining \u201cthe mechanisms that may produce this harm\u201d ( schulzke , 2013 , p . 60 ) . responding to this criticism , p\u00f6tzsch ( 2015 ) , p\u00f6tzsch & \u0161isler ( 2016 ) , and payne ( 2016 ) , among others , have advocated the empirical investigation both of specific game structures inviting particular perceptions and actions , and of the performative activation , negotiation , or subversion of these potentials in and through practices of reception , play , marketing , and modification . only by means of such methodical empirical work at the level of game form , player , and context , can the actual structures and performances underpinning what payne ( 2016 ) terms a \u201cludic war culture\u201d ( p . 10 ) be adequately addressed and brought to light .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ncould have been a rollicking good time . it has all the elements of an awesomely cheesy action - fest at its disposal but they go largely untapped . working from a script by aaron rahsaan thomas , director ernie barbarash insists on grinding out a dour crime flick that fails to appropriately capitalize on the charisma or ass kicking potential of his leads .\nroland flint ( scott adkins ) has a comatose wife at home and revenge on his mind . he used to be an assassin in the employ of some dirty interpol agents until an infiltration assignment went horribly wrong . a gangster named polo ( ivan kaye ) didn ' t take kindly to flint ' s treachery so he and his goons gang - raped flint ' s wife and beat her into a coma while flint watched on helplessly . when an opportunity presents itself for flint to exact vengeance by striking back at polo , he jumps at the chance .\ni get the sense that if life were to hand ernie barbarash lemons , he would make toast . how else can one explain the utterly wasted potential on display here ? for starters , there is the weathered van damme who has aged quite gracefully and has really started to come into his own as an actor . then there ' s the young hotshot adkins who has been itching for a breakout role ever since the\nseries put him on many an action fan ' s radar . these are two guys who can deliver a beatdown and make it look\n. unfortunately every action sequence here is either too short , too choppy or muted thanks to an overreliance on guns .\nsince adkins and van damme don ' t really get to strut their stuff in the fisticuffs department , it ' s reassuring to see that they resist the urge to completely phone in their performances . adkins sells the part of the angry husband with a lethal set of skills while van damme goes in a slightly different direction with his role . his hitman is morally flexible until the very end . this leads to some interesting double - crosses and at least one scene late in the film that paints him in a very negative light . van damme steps over all the contradictions in his character in order to give us a unified vision of his burgeoning humanity\nit ' s a pity that our heroes don ' t have proper villains to square off against in the film . the interpol agents come across as bumbling and ineffective while polo is defined largely by his misogyny and little else . i ' m not sure when this happened but apparently threatening to kill someone just isn ' t enough anymore . you have to gang - rape them , beat them into a coma and then threaten to gang - rape them\nwhile they are comatose . this sort of lazy plotting pops up throughout the film . we even get a hooker with a heart of gold who helps van damme get in touch with his softer side . gag me , please .\nas it stands , the film is far from successful . there are flashes of kinetic energy but they just aren ' t enough to deliver on the promise of what could have been . i watched the film hoping for a healthy portion of van dammage and a decent showcase for adkins . i ' ll just have to wait a bit longer .\nthe video is presented in a 1 . 85 : 1 aspect ratio with anamorphic enhancement . the visuals have a desaturated look that screams ' gritty ' while the yellow and green color palette screams ' sickly ' . i didn ' t notice any major defects other than a few minor cases of moir\u00e9 . although the excessive bleaching of the image was distracting in parts , i found the presentation to be more than adequate .\nthe audio was presented in english and french dolby digital 5 . 1 tracks with english sdh and french subtitles . the audio mix was fairly clear although it only truly came alive during a few of the more bombastic action moments .\n( 10 : 11 ) . they were presented with unfinished effects and a temporary audio track . although none of them were essential to the film , feel free to dig in if you need any more of polo ' s violent misogyny .\ncopyright 2018 urltoken all rights reserved . legal info , privacy policy , terms of use\nthis site uses cookies . by using this site you are agreeing to our privacy and cookie policy .\nsony pictures worldwide acquisitions takes worldwide media rights to the hitman story , the latest jean -

claude van damme plays a weathered hitman named vincent brazil . he accepts a lucrative hit on a notorious russian gangster , but finds he ' s got some competition in roland flint ( scott adkins ) , a fellow assassin with a vendetta against the target ( who put flint ' s wife in coma ) . when it becomes clear the two will just get in each others way , they decide to team up instead .\nperhaps it ' s the fractured story , which focuses on both flint and brazil at the same time as opposed to just picking one character and making them the lead , that renders the film dull . there ' s a feeling of disconnect throughout the entire picture , as though the script is uncertain who ' s the more interesting character ( it ' s brazil , by the way ) .\nbut i must admit , i ' ve seen plenty of truly terrible dtv films in my day and this one is pretty solid , despite a myriad of flaws . the story seems more focused than most , and the script , while in need of one good rewrite , is better than the standard dtv action muck that sony usually puts out . it ' s not great \u2013 not by a long shot \u2013 but it ' s a decent effort . if only it were able to capitalize on its fantastic stars a little better instead of spending its time with a story we ' ve seen a dozen times over .\naudio is presented in dolby digital 5 . 1 . it ' s not a bad mix , but its shortcomings do stand out quite a bit . dialogue is tuned way too low , especially in comparison to the film ' s stock sound effects , which feel rather cumbersome and overbearing . don ' t expect this one to be your go - to reference disc , but it does do the film justice on occasion .\nextras are virtually nonexistent . there ' s a series of deleted scenes as well as some previews . most annoying is a promo for blu -

and what not to show - for maximum dramatic effect . of a flawless cast , i must single out david wenham , exceptional as the fearful brett , and toni collette giving her best screen performance to date as michelle . the boys is an almost unbearably tense depiction of the events leading up to a crime\nthat events from throughout elizabeth ' s reign are presented as occurring in the first five years is forgivable as dramatic license , but numerous made - up events and historical errors mar the film . it begins at the violent end of mary i ' s reign , as the catholic ruler has heretics burned in a violent effort to halt the protestantism unleashed by her father henry viii . though greatly at risk , elizabeth survives her sister ' s reign to become queen and establish england as a protestant nation . the film takes great liberties by compressing the political intrigues with members of her court and the conflicts with scotland , france , and spain from throughout her reign into the first five years .\na day in the life of austin , texas as the camera roams from place to place and provides a brief look at the overeducated , the social misfits , the outcasts and the oddballs .\ni was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie turned out . to be honest , i ' d never heard of it until a friend recommended it ( based on a very old trailer on imdb ) . it came out during 1998 , which saw both\nmask of zorro\nand\narmageddon\n, so maybe that ' s one reason for me never hearing about it . i think it was right before matthew mcconnaughey broke onto the scene . either way , i just plain enjoyed watching it . . . they show interviews from a couple of the real newton boys as the credits roll , which are pretty good . in particular , the interview on johnny carson is pretty funny . this makes me even more excited for\npublic enemies\n, another bank - robbery movie . . . they even have a minor character in here who supposedly goes on to work with john dillinger , the guy that movie will be focused on .\nthe newton boys were the most successful bank robbers in american history , up until the savings and loan bandits of the 1980s . operating in the roaring ' 20s , they hit as many as 200 banks and then pulled off the nation ' s biggest train robbery , a mail train heist in northern illinois . despite their remarkable record , they never became as famous as john dillinger or\nbonnie and clyde\n. on the basis of this movie , i suspect it was because they were too respectable .\nand when there is action ( as in a scene where they ' re unexpectedly chased by bank guards ) , it plays like a pale shadow of this film ' s master ,\nbonnie and clyde . ' ' the\nb & c ' ' influences are everywhere : in the period , the clothes , the cars , the banjo music on the soundtrack , the reunions between brothers , the suspicions of girlfriends and even in the character of texas ranger frank hamer ( ken farmer ) , who arrests the newtons . hamer was the ranger forced to pose for photos with bonnie and clyde ; to be fair , his inclusion is probably a deliberate in - joke by richard linklater , the director and co - writer , but the film as a whole seems drained of thrust and energy - - especially compared to his earlier films .\nthe film has two distinct time strands , which some viewers found confusing . most of the action in the house takes place over the 18 hours after brett sprague is released from prison . these scenes are intercut with short scenes from the future \u2013 from just after the crime , when brett is seen burning his clothes in the backyard , to the day when all three are about to be sentenced in court . this script strategy shifts the drama away from contemplation of the crime itself , to the question of how the three young men could become ready to commit such a crime . in a real sense , it takes the story back into the home , where the dynamics of family dysfunction allow the story to become more universal .\ntexas native , richard linklater is among the vanguard of the 1990\u2019s american independent film renaissance , having directed early cult classics such as slacker and dazed and confused . linklater has showcased his home state of texas as the rich backdrop and source of inspiration for the films he has written , directed and produced . his storytelling takes audiences all across texas , from the incredible vistas of the greater big bend region , to the celebrated landmarks and cultural institutions of central texas , all the way to the charming small towns of the east texas piney woods .\nje kiffe le casting , et bien s\u00fbr je suis membre du linklater fc , et c ' est cool qu ' il ait fait un film dans ce style parce qu ' il touche vraiment un peu \u00e0 tout , mais du coup c ' est pas dans ce genre que je pr\u00e9f\u00e8re , on ressent moins sa patte , c ' est pas ce qui le distingue quoi . un film pas d\u00e9sagr\u00e9able , mais globalement assez banal .\nthe second point of contention about the boys aligns it with other australian films from the last two decades . upon its release , right - wing agitator andrew bolt attacked the picture directly , calling the script \u2018cockroach droppings\u2019 and lambasting local filmmakers for producing \u2018black - hearted films for their black - skivvy mates\u2019 . it is a theme that has persisted in local criticism , with individuals as diverse as playwright louis nowra , former president of the screen producers association antony ginnane and the age newspaper\u2019s jim schembri publicly lamenting the cinema industry\u2019s supposed inability to turn out profitable , entertaining movies that justify the taxpayer funding they receive .\nthe film is shot and directed on a very specific plan . the scenes in the house are generally given a deep focus , to allow us to see down corridors and to establish a strong sense of close proximity . much of the drama in the house is shot with hand - held camera , the characters partly obscured by corners , to give a sense of lack of privacy and conversations overheard . the overall effect is extremely claustrophobic , and very oppressive .\nboys don ' t cry\nis a tough ride . there ' s female nudity and off - screen oral sex , but the deplorable rape and murder are harsh and unsparing . this is a thoughtful but thoroughly rattling piece of filmmaking from a director who promises to be around for a while . rated r . 114 minutes .\nat the close of the film the threats against elizabeth and the way she resolved them are not carefully explicated either except that it ends in a bloodbath . that the plot was so hard to follow might lead an unwary theatergoer to conclude for this very reason that all these various episodes were what actually happened , and the need for historical accuracy meant the sacrifice of a coherent plot line . but the muddle of events , many of them invented , have little to do with the early reign of elizabeth . perhaps shakur and writer michael hirst thought the extreme violence made up for the lack of clarity .\nwhen thomas walks into the gym , he places the boom box on the floor facing away from basketball court . in the next shot it ' s turned towards the court .\npeirce and her enormously talented star , hilary swank , both deserve academy award nominations , but it ' ll be interesting to see if the formal accolades roll in . the film hardly goes down like honey , and peirce ' s laudably restrained camera records moments of graphic hatred with unflinching honesty .\nthe comparison to the strong , sexually confident warrior queen mary of guise ( the regent of scotland ) is particularly striking . in one scene , we see mary on the battlefield in armor sending a young boy back to elizabeth ; his english blood stains her french colors . this is contrasted with elizabeth prostrate before the shrouded portrait of her father henry viii , and weeping because the english sent boys to fight in scotland had been slaughtered because there were no reinforcements . emotionally at that moment , mary is a far more attractive queen to the audience than elizabeth .\nthe # 1 new york times bestselling memoir that inspired the film october sky , rocket boys is a uniquely american memoir - - a powerful , luminous story of coming of age at the dawn of the 1960s , of a mother ' s love and a father ' s fears , of a group of young men who dreamed of launching rockets into outer space . . . and who made those dreams come true . with the grace of a natural storyteller , nasa engineer homer hickam paints a warm , vivid portrait of the harsh west virginia mining town of his youth , evoking a time of innocence and promise , when anything was possible , even in a company town that swallowed its men alive . a story of romance and loss , of growing up and getting out , homer hickam ' s lush , lyrical memoir is a chronicle of triumph - - at once exquisitely written and marvelously entertaining . one of the most beloved bestsellers in recent years , rocket boys is a uniquely american memoir . a powerful , luminous story of coming of age at the end of the 1950s , it is the story of a mother ' s love and a father ' s fears , of growing up and getting out . with the grace of a natural storyteller , homer hickam looks back after a distinguished nasa career to tell his own true story of growing up in a dying coal town and of how , against the odds , he made his dreams of launching rockets into outer space come true . a story of romance and loss and a keen portrait of life at an extraordinary point in american history , rocket boys is a chronicle of triumph ."]}

hour technicolor epic , akin to gone with the wind ( 1939 ) , filmed on location in south wales , but the war made that an impossibility . the welsh tone of the film , from director ford ' s recollections , is buoyed by welsh singers ( vocalizing as themselves ) performing much of the choral work .\nmamoulian\u2019s sole screwball comedy is a delightful confection starring a radiantly young gene tierney as a girdle salesgirl lured into the world of two con artists intent on fleecing a hapless accountant , played by henry fonda , who they mistakenly take for a millionaire . fueled by lighting quick and sexually sparked comic dialogue , rings on her fingers is a charming and little -

length gloves that were made up to look like e . t . \u2019s leathery skin , and mimicked his long , slender , four - fingered hands with her ring and pinky fingers sneakily tucked away in the fourth digit . in the final cut , she was credited as the \u201ce . t . movement coordinator . \u201d\nthe project was too dark in tone for spielberg , though , and ultimately , he had columbia just re - release close encounters in a special edition with additional scenes . but he still recognized the potential of a film like night skies , so he and screenwriter melissa mathison then combined spielberg\u2019s semi - autobiographical story with the benevolent alien visiting a boy on earth to create e . t . the idea of the terrorized family was refashioned as another eventual spielberg production : poltergeist .\nwith his newfound success following the back - to - back smash hits of jaws in 1975 and close encounters of the third kind in 1977 , director steven spielberg wanted to tell a smaller , more personal story for his next film . entitled growing up , the proposed movie was inspired by the divorce of his parents when he was 15 years old . it included the feelings of alienation spielberg felt being jewish in an all gentile neighborhood in arizona and was told from the perspective of three children .\nthe materials in the h . lee waters film collection are made available for use in research , teaching and private study . materials from this collection may not be used for any commercial purpose without prior permission from duke university . all copyrights that exist in this material have not been transferred to duke university . when use is made of these materials , it is the responsibility of the user to obtain additional permissions as necessary and to observe the stated access policy , the laws of copyright and the educational fair use guidelines .\ntyson helped track down whether the movie rights to matheson\u2019s story had been optioned , and eventually discovered that a teleplay was in development at abc and universal with producer george eckstein . spielberg took a meeting with eckstein , and brought a rough cut of his legendary 73 - minute series premiere episode of columbo , \u201cmurder by the book . \u201d eckstein was impressed , and gave spielberg the job to direct duel after a follow - up meeting where the filmmaker laid out how he envisioned the film from matheson\u2019s screenplay in full .\nboth spielberg and mathison wrote a story treatment for a potential sequel to e . t . during its initial theatrical run . dated july 17 , 1982 , the treatment is titled \u201ce . t . ii : nocturnal fears , \u201d and takes place the summer after the events in the first film . the story describes a plot in which elliott and his friends are abducted by a mutated race of e . t . s led by an evil entity named korel who is looking for zrek , another alien stranded on earth . eventually , e . t . manages to save the group of kids and helps them back to earth . ultimately , spielberg decided not to do a sequel because doing so\nwould do nothing but rob the original of its virginity . \u201d you can read the 10 - page treatment by clicking here . a novelized sequel by author william kotzwinkle\u2014who also penned the novelization of the original film\u2014was published in 1985 . e . t . : the book of the green planet was set on e . t . \u2019s home planet , which kotzwinkle dubbed brodo asogi .\nmost films go through several drafts before a final shooting script is locked into place , but melissa mathison\u2019s first draft is what spielberg used during the shoot of the film . instead of constantly revising individual drafts , spielberg gave mathison the general narrative plot for her to round out . she would write for five straight days and then collaborate with him for five successive days of feedback . this process went on for eight weeks , and spielberg later called the resulting screenplay \u201cthe best first draft i\u2019ve ever read . \u201d in order to maintain a spontaneous and streamlined shoot ( and unlike\nvisual effects supervisor dennis muren and his team at industrial light and magic were tasked with creating organic special effects to surround the potentially inorganic looking e . t . puppet . surprisingly , the iconic shot of the boy and alien flying across the full moon was mostly a\nreal\nshot . it took muren and his team weeks to find the right spot to film a low moon among trees , so they used maps and charts to coordinate the scene once they found the right spot . in the shot , elliott and e . t . are puppets that were added with special effects in post - production , but the rest is photo - real .\nhave to say this but i do : she\u2019s too old . so there will be no film . \u201d in july , 1964 , salinger wrote jan a rambling , three - page letter of explanation\u2014a tangle of regret , apology , and misdirection . \u201ca long talk on the phone with peter tewksbury , \u201d he began . \u201cwhat he mainly said to me was that at this point in your life you would have to act your way through the part of esm\u00e9 , and he felt certain in his own mind that there was something not really suitable about that . he really meant , i think , that you\u2019ve grown up into a full - fledged ing\u00e9nue . \u201d she was distraught .\nby bringing together beautiful prints and recent preservations of his complete feature film oeuvre , this retrospective is offered as a rebuke and challenge to those who have sighed and glanced past mamoulian\u2019s films and career . together , mamoulian\u2019s sixteen features , we argue , make clear his status as undoubtedly one of the most talented and versatile filmmakers working within the studio system , an artist not accidently trusted with some of the greatest performers and stars of his era . ultimately , mamoulian offers an important challenge to manicheistic ideas of auterism as a battle of director against \u201cthe system\u201d by suggesting another and subtler mode of auteur\u2014a changeling voice and identity expressed across a wider range of genres and themes and stylistic tendencies than can fit into any easy categories . - haden guest\nthe two friends and collaborators had hidden little nods to each other\u2019s films in their work before , but for e . t . , spielberg didn\u2019t need to hide anything at all . in one of the film\u2019s cheekiest jokes , e . t . sees a child dressed up as yoda for halloween , prompting the little alien to exclaim , \u201chome ! home ! \u201d spielberg didn\u2019t tell lucas about the joke until he held a personal screening for his friend at his skywalker ranch , which lucas approved of with laughter . when he went on to make the phantom menace , lucas returned the favor and made e . t . \u2019s race of aliens part of the galactic senate . you can see them acting uncharacteristically hostile in the video above .\nford was already an iconic spielberg alum , so to play with that image , the filmmaker cast his raiders of the lost ark star as the principal of elliott\u2019s school . other than elliott\u2019s mother , another adult ' s face wasn ' t shown until the third act , so ford was always filmed from behind . ford reprimands the youngster after the scene where elliott frees all of the frogs about to be dissected ( when he passionately kisses his classmate in an homage to john ford\u2019s 1952 film the quiet man ) . in another example of elliott ' s and e . t . \u2019s consciences melding , he\u2019s seen levitating just out of his principal\u2019s view until his mother barges in to take him home . these scenes were ultimately cut for time .\nthis is one of the scariest movies i ever saw . it really plays with your mind . i admit that i first saw this movie as a kid int the back seat of my parent ' s car at the drive - in , and for years , i was very afraid of the hand coming out from under sofas , beds and anywhere dark . it connects with something deep in the subconscious as the hand is the part of the body that does all things and in this movie it is a power all unto itself . the black and white film makes this movie a perfect expression of the subconscious , fearful and malevolent . definitely one that i hope would eventually make it to dvd , and one to own if you ' re into the classics of this genre .\nmeanwhile , tewksbury was waging a campaign to save \u201cit\u2019s a man\u2019s world . \u201d he called the network\u2019s decision a slap in the face of newton minow . he put together a press release , amassing evidence of the show\u2019s popularity with high -

of men and women long since dead . yet who shall say what is real and what is not ? can i believe my friends all gone when their voices are still a glory in my ears ? no . and i will stand to say no and no again , for they remain a living truth within my mind . there is no fence nor hedge round time that is gone . you can go back and have what you like of it , if you can remember . so i can close my eyes on my valley as it is today - and it is gone - and i see it as it was when i was a boy . green it was , and possessed of the plenty of the earth . in all wales , there was none so beautiful .\nthe ten year old boy characterizes his stern and firm but respected father gwillym morgan ( donald crisp ) . they slowly climb up a hill in the attire of 1890 ' s residents . he is the youngest of six sons and one beautiful seventeen year - old daughter angharad ( maureen o ' hara ) in the morgan family :\nangharad and huw sing a greeting to each other across the mountainside . the morgans are one of many hard - working coal mining families :\ncoal miners were my father and all my brothers and proud of their trade .\nthe five other morgan sons , in descending chronological order , are introduced as they collect their weekly wages ( gold coins ) - with less earned by the younger boys - from a paymaster in a booth : ianto morgan ( john loder ) , ivor morgan ( patrick knowles ) , davy morgan ( richard fraser ) , owen morgan ( james monks ) , and young gwilym morgan ( evan s . evans ) . huw remembers welsh voices singing in the valley as the blackened - faced men leave the colliery and happily march down the hill past stone cottages to their own homes :\nsomeone would strike up a song , and the valley would ring with the sound of many voices - for singing is in my people as sight is in the eye .\nmrs . beth morgan ( sara allgood ) , sitting on a stool at the gate to the morgan cottage , spreads her white apron - each morgan family member , beginning with the father , tosses his wage coins into her lap and passes into the house . huw also describes the evening washing ritual - his father and brothers stripped to the waist and scrubbing coal dust from their backs with buckets of water . a close - up of grimy hands being washed opens the sequence :\nthen came the scrubbing - out in the back yard . it was the duty of my sister angharad to bring the buckets of hot water and cold . and i performed what little tasks i could as my father and brothers scrubbed the coal dust from their backs . most would come off them , but some would stay for life . it is the honorable badge of the coal miner - and i envied it on my father and grown - up brothers . scrub and scrub , and mr . coal would lie there and laugh at you .\nin the morgan kitchen / dining room for the evening meal , huw is impatient to eat and eagerly reaches for a piece of bread . restrained with playful frowns , the patriarchal morgan offers grace at the head of the table - his lips move . at the table with bountiful food , mr . morgan carves the meat and angharad serves soup . a rule was obeyed and observed during meals :\nthere was always a baron of beef or a shoulder or leg of lamb before my father . there was never any talk while we were eating . i never met anybody whose talk was better than good food .\nhis gentle , wise and loving mother , mrs . morgan doesn ' t escape notice either :\nmy mother was always on the run - always the last to start her dinner and the first to finish . for , if my father was the head of our house , my mother was its heart .\nanother ritual occurs in the parlor following dinner . a box from the mantelpiece is set down on a table before pipe - smoking mr . morgan . with everyone gathered around , coins are distributed to each of the children as they step up in order of their age . the youngest boy huw is the last in line to receive one coin - it clinks noisily on the plate he holds out :\nafter dinner , when dishes had been washed , the box was brought to the table , for the spending money to be handed out . no one in our valley had ever seen a bank . we kept our savings on the mantelpiece . my father used to say that money was made to be spent , just as men spend their strength and brains in earning it - and as willingly - but always with a purpose .\nhuw rushes from the house , respectfully slowing down in front of the chapel (\nsoftly now , for chapel was the first thing my father taught us\n) , and then running straight to mrs . tossall ' s bakery and confectionary shop . huw pauses outside and eagerly looks in the window of\nthe shop for that toffee which you could chew for hours , it seems to me now , and even after it had gone down , you could swallow and still find the taste of it hiding behind your tongue . it is with me now , so many years later . it makes me think of so much that was good that is gone .\nhuw is awed at the appearance of bronwyn ( anna lee ) , ivor ' s fiancee , who is walking down steps with a double basket held by her hip and a pretty bonnet on her head :\nit was on this afternoon that i first saw bron - bronwyn . she had come over from the next valley for her first call on my father and mother .\nspeechless , huw falls immediately in love with her and gazes dreamily and wistfully at her :\ni think i fell in love with bronwyn then . perhaps it is foolish to think a child could fall in love . but i am the child that was , and nobody knows how i felt , except only me .\nbronwyn and ivor were to be married by the new preacher , mr . gruffydd ( walter pidgeon ) , who had come from the university at cardiff . this was my first sight of him .\nwith the preacher ' s entrance , angharad takes a sudden interest - and like huw with bronwyn - instantly falls in love with him with an adoring gaze . at the conclusion of the ceremony , celebrants line the steps singing and tossing rice at the couple , as the chapel bell rings . the interior of the morgan household is filled with the happy wedding guests - a wide - eyed huw watches from the staircase as an enormous wedding cake is brought into the throng of people . outside , beer gushes from an opened tankard . everyone joins in vigorous singing - both angharad and rev . gruffydd , isolated by the camera , burst into gales of laughter at each other . the echoes of happy voices will soon give way to the gradual collapse and disintegration of the idyllic vision and simple way of life and its tragic breakup over a fifty year period .\nthrough his eyes , huw witnesses all the transitions , tragedies , and events as he grows toward manhood - wage reductions , unionization , strikes , mine accidents , and family struggles . a notice is posted at the mine of a wage reduction by greedy mine owners :\nnotice beginning august 3 , the scale of wages will be reduced 1 shilling , 2 pence the shift for all labor in this mine . c . evans , prop .\nhuw ' s old - fashioned father reacts non - chalantly :\ncome on , boys , back to work .\nmr . morgan thinks\nthis is a matter for the older men\n- accompanied by two older miners dai griffiths and idris john , he consults with the mine manager and represents them as a spokesman . when he returns home , he is tensely confronted at the door by his sons - he tells them :\nthe cut is only a few shillings . there will still be plenty for all of us . . . it is because they are not getting the old price for coal .\nthe eldest son ianto explains the\nreal reason for this cut\n- the workers from the closed down iron works at dowlais\nhave come to the colliery , willing to work for any wage - so all our wages must come down .\nthe sons fear further cuts , but their father disputes with them :\nnonsense , a good worker is worth good wages , and he will get them .\nto gain power and\nstand together\nto deal with the owners , the morgan sons suggest\na union of all the men .\nrestoring mastery over his boys , mr . morgan rejects talk about the move toward unionization following the cut in wages , calling their ideas\nsocialist nonsense .\nunion , is it ? i never thought i ' d hear my own sons talking socialist nonsense . . . i have had enough of this talk .\non a rainy day at the colliery , mr . morgan stands in the pouring rain , checking out the trams with their loads of coal . he makes a check mark and waves one son ' s tram past . in another dinner scene , now tense and silent , davy suddenly jumps to his feet , angered that his father is being humiliated by the mine owners :\ndo you think i will let them make my father stand like a dog in the rain and not raise my hands to stop it ? . . . this matter is too important for silence . they ' re trying to punish you . . . but what are we going to do about it ? you will die of the cold when it comes to snow .\nianto pipes up for worker solidarity :\nlet us all stand together and see how they will act , then .\nthe authoritarian morgan steadfastly refuses to succumb to their political agenda and will tolerate no more discussion :\nyou will not make me a plank for your politics . i will not be the excuse for any strike .\nthe older sons owen , young gwilym , davy and ianto stand and challenge their father , leaving him isolated at the table . only huw , the youngest , remains at the table with his father and loudly indicates ( by clearing his throat ) that he hasn ' t deserted him . his father finally acknowledges the impotent yet admiring presence of his dutiful son :\nyes , my son . i know you are there .\nthe five sons move out of the house because of the disagreement , finding other lodging accommodations in the village .\nthe reverend , beth , angharad , and bronwyn emerge from their houses and look anxiously up toward the colliery as the men slowly trudge home , without singing :\nthe men have struck .\nhuw asks mr . gruffydd the meaning of what is occurring , and is told in a somber tone :\nit means that something has gone out of this valley that may never be replaced .\na miner ' s strike lasts many months , causing tremendous tension and bitterness in the valley as winter approaches and snow blankets the town . huw walks hand in hand with his father past a group of shivering men with scarfs and overcoats who stand idly in the streets :\ntwenty - two weeks the men were out , as the strike moved into winter . it was strange to go out into the street and find the men there in the daytime . it had a feeling of fright in it . and always the mood of the men grew uglier as empty bellies and desperation began to conquer reason . any man who was not their friend became their enemy . they knew that my father had opposed the strike and now it was they who opposed him .\na rock is thrown crashing through the front window of the morgan home , as mr . morgan sits quietly in the parlor smoking before the fireplace . in a secret union meeting of a menacing mob of men in the hills that night during a driving , howling snowstorm , mrs . morgan courageously confronts the men who might harm her husband :\ni have come up here to tell you what i think of you all , because you are talking against my husband . you are a lot of cowards to go against him . he has done nothing against you and he never has and you know it well . how some of you , you smug - faced hypocrites , can sit in the same chapel with him i cannot tell . to say he is with the owners is not only nonsense but downright wickedness . there ' s one thing more i ' ve got to say and it is this . if harm comes to my gwilym , i will find out the men and i will kill them with my two hands . and this i will swear by god almighty .\nreturning home , huw helps to rescue his mother from a slippery fall down a steep embankment into an icy pond . he keeps her head above the freezing water , until his brothers ( returning from the meeting ) see them and pull them out . the next day , dr . richards ( frederic worlock ) diagnoses that the sensitive boy will suffer paralysis of his frozen legs for many months - a fate that huw overhears :\nhis legs were frozen to the bone . a year , two years , quiet like that . but i can ' t promise that he ' ll ever walk again . nature must take her course .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndirected by rouben mamoulian . with helen morgan , joan peers , fuller mellish jr .\ncity streets is a relatively early example from the gangster genre , but so imbued with poetry that it more closely resembles the rough beauty of sternberg\u2019s early crime films than the more violent works that would follow in the wake of scarface \u2019s success the following year . paramount star gary cooper is the kid , a sweet , roguish na\u00eff working at a shooting gallery when he falls in love with a mobster\u2019s daughter . her ambivalence towards her father\u2019s life of crime and the kid\u2019s resistance to becoming a gangster present obstacles to the consummation of their love in this touching romance with exquisite cinematography by the great lee garmes . print courtesy universal pictures .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 president and fellows of harvard college . privacy statement | trademark notice\nsalinger was always saying no to movie deals . but a tv producer got a yes .\nthe woods , someone had built a labyrinth , a maze edged with stones . it began where a spoked handwheel , rusted red , had been pressed into the dirt as if it were a sundial , a clock , stopped . the path was overgrown with ferns . it twisted and turned and snaked around in a coil until it ended at a murky well fed from a spring where a person , quiet of heart , is meant to meditate . that person is not me . nearby , a stone buddha the size of a small girl watched from the crooked stump of a fallen birch .\nusually , i need to know who lived in an old place or else the curiosity bores through my bones . i pore over deeds . i dig up gardens . i once found , beneath the floorboards of a three -

shifting of the story lines up well with les claypool\u2019s soundtrack contributions to make this trip to the wilds of boonville feel heterodoxical to most hillbilly inclusive horror romps . in my mind this makes it worth at least one pass through your dvd player , even if i still think i could write a better tagline .\nthe special youth and disabled hunt will be open in the safety zone above the p u\u2018u lani subdivision on weekends and state holidays for the month of august 2016 . only youth ( children who are 15 years of age or younger ) and disabled hunters may hunt in this area . only one adult licensed hunter may accompany each youth hunter and one licensed , non -

what a f * * * ing crazy flick ! pighunt is one of the few films i ' ve seen lately where i honestly did not know where it was going from one scene to the next . going into the film - i thought it was a mutant pig film , but then it turned into a rural action flick like deliverance & the hills have eyes . they all of a sudden , we had a wacky lesbian hippie cult that seemed right out of soft core euro porn from the seventies , and then all of a sudden the mutant pig makes his entrance - and it becomes a horror flick .\nbut\npig hunt\nhas several things going for it that lift it , if not out of its class , into the pretty - good - for - what - it - is category . director james isaac has visual flair and imagination , and he seems either to be working with a decent budget or to be making a little go a long way . the movie looks good . moreover , the script has the wit to play off the most familiar of northern california stereotypes , namely that everyone 100 miles north of san francisco is either a redneck or a hippie in the marijuana trade .\nnow before we get too far into assuming this is \u201cjust\u201d another killer pig movie , it\u2019s not . in fact the prolonged final appearance of the \u201cripper\u201d isn\u2019t revealed till the 3rd act which is a nice use of tension buildup . i was reminded of the 80\u2019s film , \u201cprophecy\u201d which travled down a similar path using monolithic beasts .\nhilo \u2014 the department of land and natural resources ( dlnr ) division of forestry and wildlife ( dofaw ) announces the opening of the hunting season in the pu\u2019u wa\u2019awa\u2019a forest reserve ( pww ) youth and disabled hunt and makai sections pursuant to title 13 , chapter 123 , \u201crules regulating game mammal hunting . \u201d\nentries are open now and close wednesday 1st june 2016 at 6pm approx 4 . 30 -

a murderous three - thousand - pound black boar !\nmuch of the film follows suite in the same way \u201cpredator\u201d did . with most of the film being set into the wilderness , director james isaac relies on tension and drama within the team who bicker , showoff and encounter alot of false alarms in their hunt for game . as the carcases stack up\u2026 . . the evidence begins to point to larger prey .\ngenerally , you have 2 sets of dogs that work as a team . they are the bay dog , and the catch dog . a bay dog can almost be any breed , so long as their tracking ability , and scent detection are superb enough to track a wild boar . these dogs are released to pick up the scent , follow , and locate the pig . as soon as they have located the wild boar , they will let out a distinctive howl or \u201cbay\u201d that alerts the hunter that they have a boar cornered and to release the \u201ccatch\u201d dog . the catch dog is the biggest , burliest dog you can find that has massive jaws capable of holding down a full size boar . their job is to meet up with the bay dogs , and take hold of the pig by the face or ear , and to hold it until the hunter can come and dispatch the pig , or tie it up . all dogs need to be trained on how to handle a wild boar , and need to all wear a cut vest to protect their vitals and neck . it is very dangerous work for the dogs , and the hunter needs to be trained in advanced first aide for dogs , including the use of needle and thread to sew up a dog that got to close .\nhunters that are not selected for the pww mauka ungulate control program , or those that were selected but are unable to hunt on their designated day , may stand - by on a first - come - first - serve basis as space is available in the hunting area . all hunters in the pww mauka ungulate control program will be limited to one ( 1 ) trip throughout the entirety of the program .\n11 . plott hound \u2013 although the north carolina state dog since 1989 , the plott hound is a little known breed by only the deep south , and big game hunters . plott\u2019s have been raised for generations to hunt wild boar , bear , and raccoons . they are extremely loyal to their master , and one of the best hunting companions . plott hounds are considered one of the very best bay dogs .\n\u201cpig hunt\u201d begins with a panicked hunter meeting a tusky end and quickly moves us onto a protagonist roll call . the group is a feckless phalanx of four weekend sportsmen : john , quincy , military reservist ben , and wayne . they are joined , to the chagrin of the ben and wayne by john\u2019s girlfriend brooks . this suv of fools leaves the cozy squats of san francisco for a boar hunting weekend on property owned by john\u2019s uncle ( who is the hunter we saw killed at the outset ) . quickly we learn that john has some demons in and around his ancestral hunting grounds . two of these demons come calling in the form of old redneck shooting friends jake and ricky . the crass and cantankerous duo forges an uneasy alliance with john\u2019s band of huntsmen in order to bag more boars , and with their inclusion the group morphs into a sort of continuum of testosterone that bears little chance of avoiding a violent dispute .\na good chunk of the running time is spent walking around in the woods hunting the big pig . there ' s also a blatant political subtext involving the iraq war that looms heavy during the first half ( beginning with the credits sequence ) , but disappears later in the picture . it ' s only when a fight breaks out resulting in the death of one of the deranged hillbillies that things pick up considerably . the rednecks pursue the hunters leading to a nicely done action set piece for an independent feature .\ncast is at least adequate to the genre . however , tina huang is a charismatic standout as brooks . whether firing off rounds or needling john\u2019s idiot friends , she is just what the doctor ordered for a bloody horror - actioner . she completely outshines the rest of the cast , including the bland travis aaron wade as the characterless john . also noteworthy is a small but effective cameo by blues mouth - harpist charlie musselwhite as the general store owner who issues the fateful warning about the big pig in the woods .\narriving at his late uncle\u2019s cabin , they discover it has been defaced with weird , menacing graffiti . also adding to their anxiety is the sudden arrival of two of john\u2019s former hick friends , who seem to harbor a lingering resentment against him . still , they seem to have a knack for finding game , so everyone heads out into the woods together . after all , what could go wrong ? besides encountering the legendary ripper , a three - thousand pound wild pig they were warned about in town , that is .\nwhen john takes his san francisco friends to his deceased uncle ' s remote ranch to hunt wild pigs , it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns -

poppins - style to the island . the mysterious parachuting creature is mistaken for the beast , and the boys begin a massive hunt to kill it . only simon ( and , let ' s face it , the audience ) is skeptical , believing instead they ' re really just afraid of themselves . he goes off into the woods to contemplate the situation while jack and ralph ascend the mountain and find the beast\u2014but don ' t stick around long enough to see that it is in fact only a dead man .\nay much to reveal the ripper turns out to be quite real and very much worthy of his name . needless to say things go very bad , very fast . isaac builds the tension quite effectively , leaving clues that there may well be more threats out there than just the killer hog . as is usually the case in horror films , the less the audience actually sees of the ripper , the scarier he is . unfortunately , the periodic attempts to draw an analogy between the hunt for the ripper and the war in iraq are clumsy , ill - conceived distractions from the gory business at hand .\njohn ( travis aaron wade ) , his sexy girlfriend brooks ( tina huang ) , and a bunch of his san francisco buddies take a trip to his deceased uncle ' s remote cabin to hunt wild boar & deer . they end up hooking up with john ' s childhood buddies -

enter your location to see which movie theaters are playing mikey and nicky near you .\n\u201cmikey and nicky\u201d follows the friends as they wander in aimless desperation around a neon\u2010lit city , and as we learn eventually that mikey is , in fact , the finger , man .\n[ video essay ] elaine may wrote and directed\nmikey and nicky\n( 1976 ) as a feminist think piece driven by her volatile male characters .\nmikey and nicky finds two of the most inventive american actors of their generation riffing off of each other to provide a relatively thorough series of observations about the difficulties of male friendship .\nthe sense of dread that pervades mikey and nicky is almost unbearable . in this dog eat dog world , all women are portrayed as cognitively impaired bitches , violence is pervasive , and social relationships are physically and psychologically abusive .\nlater in the evening , mikey angrily accuses nicky of having nicknamed him \u201cthe echo\u201d for always saying everything twice . but so do nicky and everyone else in the film . miss may used to write that kind of dialogue to be funny . this time she means to be serious but the method isn ' t good enough .\nnick is desperate , holed up in a cheap hotel , suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mobster wants him killed . he calls mikey , his friend since childhood , but when mikey arrives . . .\nnicky ( john cassavetes ) , convinced that his bosses have put out a contract on his life , summons mikey ( peter falk ) to his hideout in a fleabag hotel . nicky needs help . he ' s scared out of his wits . he ' s coming apart at the seams . he ' s afraid of being murdered but his ulcer is killing him anyway . he isn ' t sure he can trust mikey , but if he can ' t trust mikey , he can ' t trust anybody .\nwhen mikey arrives at the hotel , nicky at first refuses to let him in , but then he relents . the two men embrace . they are in tears . they clutch each other . they laugh . they cry . they argue . they reconcile . mikey tries to be reasonable with his distraught friend .\nelaine may ' s first two films , \u201ca new leaf\u2019 and \u201cthe heartbreak kid , \u201d were comedies of sometimes inspired and often touching lunacy , mostly about , t : the uncertain progress of romantic love between men and women . her third film , \u201cmikey and nicky , \u201d which opened yesterday at the little carnegie , issomthing else entirely .\nnicky and mikey are not godfathers but godsons , family men who , like children , depend on the big boss , not merely for their livelihoods but for their lives . their fearful yet proud loyalty to the mob causes trouble at home . even when the men are alone together , their lives with women are in the foreground , and may shares the women\u2019s perspectives throughout . at heart , the movie is a portrait of two marriages : nicky\u2019s , to jan ( joyce van patten ) , from whom he\u2019s separated because of his carousing , and mikey\u2019s , to annie ( rose arrick ) , to whom he\u2019s both deeply devoted and wantonly abrasive . both men take their frustrations out on a fragile woman , nellie ( carol grace ) , nicky\u2019s occasional lover , whom they treat with contempt and brutality\u2014and who calls them on it .\nwhen he hears that the mob have a contract out on him , smalltime hood nicky ( john cassavetes ) calls his old friend mikey ( peter falk ) and asks for help . the two go on the run , but cracks begin to appear in their friendship and it becomes apparent that one of them has betrayed the other . written and directed by elaine may .\nit ' s written and directed by elaine may but this feels like an auxiliary cassavettes film . somehow his gangster sagas are engaging no matter how slow they are . the friendship that mikey and nicky have is mined from the real life friendship of cassavettes and falk . and since we ' ve already seen these two in films before it feels like yet another hangout a la husbands , albeit in a more purposeful and digestible form .\nsince they were kids , it\u2019s always been the same : nicky ( john cassavetes ) gets in trouble , and mikey ( peter falk ) bails him out . this time , however , there\u2019s a price on nicky\u2019s head , so the guys have to keep on the move over the course of one night in the lower depths of philadelphia . it\u2019s tempting to call this the best cassavetes movie that cassavetes didn\u2019t make , but director elaine may brings a mordant humor all her own to this meeting of geniuses .\ni would recommend that you by the region1 dvd of mikey & nicky . ; the us edition really has a restored print , not just says so on the cover . it ' s in widescreen 1 . 85 : 1 , has some interviews with the filmmakers , and a restoration documentary . the movie itself is one of the most original us movies from the seventies .\nneed proof the world isn ' t as great as it used to be ( in regards to movie - going options anyway ) ? at one point cassevetes as nicky gets the urge to go to the movies .\nit ' s after midnight , where are you going to go to the movies ?\npeter falk ' s mikey asks .\nthough we are told more than once that the cassavetes character is a charmer and that he has always treated his friends rottenly , including mikey , there ' s no evidence in the performance that nicky is charming in any way . nor do we believe that mikey is a jerk , as he ' s supposed to be . both \u2018actors are , in fact , as interchangeable in their characters as are their character names . it ' s significant , i think , that as i write this review i have to keep referring to my notes to remember which \u2010actor which\nnick is desperate , holed up in a cheap hotel , suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mob boss wants him killed . desperate , he calls mikey , his friend since childhood and a fellow gangster . so begins a long night\u2026\nthis movie also has a understated performance from the great william hickey . it may look like a cassavetes movie , but the dialogue is definitely elaine may . it has a great emotional arc , and has snappy dialogue . [ kinney ] is that him ? [ mikey ] no . [ kinney ] hey , you sure ? [ mikey ] yes i ' m sure . you wanna shoot him just in case ?\nelaine may began in second city where she formed a successful comedy team with mike nichols . she earned a drama desk award for her play adaptation ; wrote , directed and performed in a new leaf ; directed the heartbreak kid ( the original ) ; wrote and directed mikey & nicky and ishtar ; received an oscar nomination for writing heaven can wait ; reunited with nichols to write the birdcage and primary colors ( a bafta - winner ) ; and worked with producer julian schlossberg on six new york productions . she has done other things , but this is enough .\n\u201cmikey and nicky , \u201d which miss may wrote as well as directed , takes place in one approximately 12\u2010hour period . it involves a lot of self\u2010conscious exposition that never quite succeeds in telling us , all we have a decent right to know . it ' s about a couple of small\u2010time los angeles hoods who ' ve grown up together , joined the same mob and now , on this particular night , find their lifelong relationship passing in front of our eyes in aggressive close\u2010up .\n3 1 / 2 out of 5 stars . mikey & nicky felt like a diet version of a cassavetes film . not necessarily a bad thing but for as great of a movie about friendship as this is , i almost ( elaine may pulled this off ) feel if cassavetes directed this himself it would ' ve had more of a kick behind it . still raw at times ( namely towards the powerful ending ) cassavetes and falk are as always great together .\nshort portions of the film\u2010come to vivid life , especially toward the end . there ' s a very funny , typically urban confrontation between mr . cassavetes and an officious\u2019 lady on a bus who doesn ' t want to start up with his \u201celement , \u201d and a fine sequence in an all\u2010black bar whose patrons take mikey and nicky for white cops . not so good is a sequence in a neighborhood bar where miss may ' s camera keeps panning across the great faces of the real\u2010life ( i ' m sure ) customers as if she were showing us hinder temcarvings .\nnick is desperate , holed up in a cheap hotel , suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mobster wants him killed . he calls mikey , his friend since childhood , but when mikey arrives , nick won ' t let him in : his moods swing . so begins a long night as mike tries to take care of nick , calm him down and get him out of town . their sojourn - on foot and in a city bus - takes them to a bar , a club , toward a movie theater , to the cemetery where nick ' s mom is buried , and to nick ' s girlfriend ' s apartment . tempers fray and the friendship is tested . meanwhile , a hit man who ' s getting information from someone is indeed looking for nick .\nm1key and nicky , directed and written by elaine may ; orocuced by micnael hausman : executive producer , bud austin ; director of photography , victor j . kemper ; editor , john carter ; music , john strauss ; distributed by paramount pictures . running time : 118 minutes . at the little carnegie theater , 57th street , east of seventh avenue . this film has been rated r :\nglenn has published two books of reviews , and has been writing and researching for tcm since 2004 .\nnickey ( john cassavetes ) is a small - time jewish gangster in trouble with the mob . he calls on his lifelong friend mikey ( peter falk ) for help . during the night the two spend together , the power of their friendship is undermined by their mutual nastiness and pressing financial concerns . elaine may ' s script was allegedly taken from an episode in the life of her uncle .\nis a professor of english and creative writing at the college of william and mary . she is the author of\nthere ' s the all night place that shows double features . has the candy bar that stays open and serves ice cream sandwiches .\nlater when a hitman played by ned beatty goes looking for nicky at this theater , we see that it ' s playing a kung fu movie . so you ' re telling me that in 1973 philadelphia there was an all - night movie theater that had ice cream sandwiches and kung fu double features ?

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

( jaimie trueblood / universal pictures )\nthis feels like the new york city of right now , where brooklynites deal with gentrification as best they can , trying to stay true to their roots while admitting that artisan coffee shops and yoga spots aren\u2019t all that bad . not unlike justin simien\u2019s superb dear white people ( which premiered at sundance in 2014 ) , douchebag seems to speak to a continually - budding generation of twitter - philes that are equal parts socially - aware and self - obsessed . ray falls decidedly into the latter category , too often coming off too much like , well , a douchebag with little in the redemption department .\ndirector carmen marron says that financing her first movie \u201cwas hell . \u201d granted , she was a high school guidance counselor with no actual film background . \u201cmy own mother wouldn\u2019t even give me financing , \u201d she says .\nthe film , which includes robert de niro , edgar ramirez and ruben blades , is part of a group of limited release films . , it will not be in as many cinema complexes in north america as others like\nfor much of its 79 minutes , tahir jetter \u2018s how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag feels like the type of raw , diy and impressive indie picture that barely stands a chance of getting in to the 2016 model of the sundance film festival . if that sounds like a back - handed compliment , that\u2019s more - or - less the intention . after all , it is a talky rom - com set in new york with no recognizable faces , no real visuals to showcase or even edgy subject matter to mine through .\nat the time of writing , warcraft holds a freshness rating of 22 % on film review aggregator rotten tomatoes based on eighteen reviews , and 37 % on metacritic based on eleven . excerpts from some of these reviews read :\ni know some people are going to hate it , \u201d he says of douchebag .\nbut if you add up the amount of people who will see it at sundance , more people will have eventually seen it than any of my other films . not enough people saw spooner to hate it . \u201d\nstarts with a scene that actually takes place in the middle of the film ; it has a voiceover narration , shows men living a life of excess and as well as having a subplot involving the main character ' s troubled relationship .\nsausage party is the exception . sausage party is dumb and pointless and i hated it , although i am \u2014 to be fair \u2014 in the minority among critics who have delighted in what is the first r -

but the real david packouz has a cameo , so he probably wouldn ' t have wanted to get involved with a film that portrayed him so poorly .\nsimilar struggles abound , as many filmmakers of color are dealing with the typical headaches of being a newbie filmmaker . first -

4 minutes later i would still be looking at the same shot . really ? it was supposed to be a comedy too , which made it even worse .\nbing bar . park city , utah . friday , jan . 22 , 7 p . m . snow flurries have fallen all day on this former mining town . it\u2019s pretty to look at\u2014from inside a toasty room . thankfully for sun -

- as a result , we don ' t flinch when the brothers seem to be enjoying each other ' s company and don ' t find it impossible to believe when the script grants sam some abrupt insights . in the end , the douchebag isn ' t the star of the show , but he ' s an essential part of making it work .\nthe premise of trying to find a fifth - grade sweetheart , although outlandish , has potential . the idea of two brothers taking a road trip in search of a childhood crush could have made for some hilarious moments . but the film fails to deliver .\nto that end , a new category called next was added for 2010 , reserved for indie films \u201cstretching a low budget to create big art . \u201d doremus ( pronounced dor -

unknown precious .\nahir jetter\u2019s first feature opens with one hell of a gambit . this funny relationship film ( i hesitate to call it a rom com ) starts with some postcard shots of new york city , just like woody allen\u2019s masterpiece manhattan . but this isn\u2019t in black and white and even out - of - towners will recognize that these aren\u2019t the usual landmarks . how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag ( yes , that\u2019s the actual title , unfortunately ) is 100 % brooklyn , but it doesn\u2019t make a big showing of it , shouting \u201crepresent ! \u201d or \u201c718 ! \u201d or anything like that . brooklyn is just the borough where the filmmakers of the next generation live .\nwhilst albania was filmed with a drab , grey look [ how hollywood generally sees eastern europe ] . an action set - piece where david and efraim try to smuggle guns into iraq could have fitted in a bay film if it had more explosions . despite being marketed as a comedy\ncharles brice plays ray livingston , a freelance writer trying to attract attention with a blog , occasionally dating black women , whose self - pitying tone doesn ' t jibe with the cavalier way he treats the women he takes to bed . he ' s a douchebag , all right , no matter how much he claims to be looking for love and blames his emotional unavailability on new york city .\nit kind of does , in theory . and maybe it will be for you . i thought it was moronic . and often offensive . for instance , the villain in the movie is a douchebag \u2014 a literal douchebag \u2014 filled with vodka that tries to flex its muscles and drunkenly rape a hot - dog bun . but it\u2019s comedy , right , so it\u2019s \u2026 ok ? and there\u2019s a lot of ugly racial stereotypes , but it\u2019s only hot dogs , and cans of beans , and a gay twinkie and firewater \u2014 which is obviously a native american stereotype \u2014 so we shouldn\u2019t take offense , right ? well , why not ? because if the \u201cfirewater\u201d were played by an actual native american , or if a live - action craig robinson was playing an actual african - american stereotype banging the \u201ccrackers\u201d that wouldn\u2019t be ok .\nthe 26 - year - old filmmaker squints as he tries to make out the people filling nearly all 608 seats of the temporary cinema space . he asks douchebag cast and crew members to join him up front for audience questions . eight people who have worked on the quirky slacker dramedy off and on for two years\u2014and who also managed to make it to park city\u2014surround their director . the remaining two crew members are back home .\nthe romantic leads are both writers . language is very specific in the film , particularly when one of ray\u2019s ladies asks him \u201chow do you feel about me , \u201d which he understands as \u201cwhat do you think about me . \u201d can you talk about how you used words so precisely ? rochelle is particularly verbal .\nwhile editing spooner , doremus had told dickler he was too funny not to be in a movie . to the amazement of doremus , dickler went for it . somewhere along the way , the director got the idea of playing the strong - willed editor off his mellower friend jones . a 30 - page outline for what would become douchebag was shot with the newbie actors . jones and dickler supplied all the dialogue as it came to them .\ncontrary to their name , slow motions are often anything but slow . they are generally characterized by short , jerky movements . when done properly , they often appear erratic and involuntary . achieving this seemingly spasmodic display takes years of practice , the difficulty of which is often underappreciated . rather than coming off as slow , individuals untrained in these motions usually just look like a giant knobber . the description\ndouchebag\nhas also been used by others .\ni\u2019ll be nervous friday night , \u201d doremus says .\nit\u2019ll be the first time anyone has seen it . the la times will be there . it\u2019s so nerve - wracking . it\u2019s not like slamdance , where you\u2019re showing the film to 100 people . this is the biggest stage for movies in the world besides cannes . \u201d\nalthough director / co - writer drake doremus cues us initially to view tom as the eponymous douchebag - - he ' s an adult sponging off his parents and makes excuses so lame they hardly merit the name when first invited to the wedding - - actor ben york jones doesn ' t let us harbor that illusion for long . moist - eyed and vulnerable , jones projects an endearing willingness to reconcile with his brother even though he clearly fears some kind of mistreatment .\nif tv looks far more diverse today than film , it\u2019s due in large part to the work of nogales and his colleagues . in 2000 , they forced the networks to sign memorandums of understanding saying they are committed to diversity . since then , the networks have counted the number of minorities they hire and have created various diversity - pipeline programs .\nwhile the film isn ' t scheduled to be released in north america until june 10th , the long awaited warcraft already started to roll out internationally earlier this week . the movie adaptation of blizzard entertainment ' s hit gaming franchise of the same name was first announced a whole decade ago as a collaboration between the developer and media company legendary pictures .\nwritten and directed by jetter and based off of his blog \u2018occasionally dating black women , \u2019 douchebag tells the story of womanizing blogger ray livingston ( charles brice ) and the comeuppance he receives at the hands of quasi - famous internet writer rochelle marseilles ( dewanda wise ) . filled with self - reflective voice - over and extended musings on things like cat - calling and its virtues or the expectations following a hook - up , jetter establishes an insightful - if - familiar aesthetic .\n\u201ci dreamed that someday i\u2019d have a film playing in this room , \u201d he says , still amazed at what a short , strange trip it has been . he had no idea in january 2009 that his \u201cvery personal\u201d picture\u2014shot in 20 days with a minuscule budget , unknown lead actors and a tiny crew\u2014would fulfill his dream a mere 12 months later .\nbut , for the next two years , jones co - directed music videos in la with fellow chapman alum joseph armario under the pseudonym jurassic technology . jones did perform a small walk - on part in spooner , and while that film was being edited , doremus called to say there was a guy he had to meet : spooner \u2019s editor , dickler .\nand where young people live they fall in love , or at least try to fall in love , and how to tell you\u2019re a douchebag tells the tale of aspiring writer ray ( charles brice ) eventually realizing that maybe his womanizing ways won\u2019t lead to happiness . he discovers this when he first hollers at rochelle ( dewanda wise ) while trying to impress his buddy jake ( william jackson harper ) . little does he know that rochelle is a powerful woman in media and more than a match for his wits .\nthere was just one problem : after about half the film had been shot , jones suffered what he called a\nmini midlife crisis\u201d and retreated to albuquerque , new mexico . the official reason was to learn carpentry from his father , but the more he talks about it , the more it is obvious he needed to find himself after he discovered he hated directing music videos .\ndoremus recalls that 10 years ago , in this very same room , he and jones hosted a screening of the bum .\nwe projected it onto a big screen , and we had 70 folding chairs set up , \u201d doremus says . once the lights came up at the end , the teens solicited donations from friends and family members for the just for laughs film festival entry fees .\nthat was more of a troll question meant to suggest ray is a douchebag . he\u2019s mocking rochelle in a way that even he doesn\u2019t believe , but he\u2019s confident that he can get a rise out of her in that scene . it speaks to how black men get on black women\u2019s nerves . we can see how black women bring up causes , and black men will troll them for it . that scene is a representation of that tug - of - war that we experience . we are our privilege to a certain extent . ray is aware that he\u2019s good looking , a ladies\u2019 man , and well - spoken , but that\u2019s his charm to a fault . i wanted to see the paradigm of this man not getting what he wants , what that means and feels like , but in a larger sense , the film is about how everyone doesn\u2019t get what they want in the modern dating milieu . sometimes things don\u2019t go your way .\nwe had ridiculous expectations , \u201d jones says .\nwe thought we were going to make a 90 - minute feature film . . . . we pieced it together into an hour version , and then a 13 - minute version . we showed it to people for fun . it was our first foray into filmmaking together . it\u2019s the first time we made something together and realized people liked it . \u201d\ndespite being directed by duncan jones and having a cgi budget seemingly the size of a small country ' s gdp , warcraft the movie never quite manages to come together as enjoyable . while fans of the franchise can most likely derive some satisfaction out of seeing the faithfully recreated video game settings , the wooden acting , breakneck pacing and excessive amounts of fantasy jibber - jabber mostly renders the film nonsensical to everyone else .\nthe film was trying to start a conversation on male masculinity , feminism , our current technology , and blogging , yet while there were many points made about the subjects , i left wishing they delved more deeply on the critiques . the funny thing about their biggest critique , which was on our current state of technology ( especially blogging ) , is that the characters the filmmakers decided to focus on were at extremes . everyone sounded like\u2026\nthis movie is real . these situations are real . street harassment is real , entitlement is real , people get possessive and demanding even with new relationships and encounters . they get petty and when things don ' t go their way they cross boundaries . this happens all the time and this film isn ' t here to preach about it , it ' s just telling a satisfying story about how people can grow and learn and better themselves .\na womanizing blogger gets put in his place in how to tell you ' re a douchebag , tahir jetter ' s feature debut . not funny enough to call a rom - com , though it borrows many of that genre ' s tropes , the movie plays like a technically proficient , very expensive substitute for going into therapy after a painful breakup . heartfelt but lacking some key ingredients , the pic has limited commercial potential ; in any event , it ' s certainly much too conventional for sundance ' s next section , meant to showcase titles with an\ninnovative , forward - thinking approach to storytelling .\nwhen she came home at 2 : 30 p . m . one day after doremus had earned his diploma and found him lying on the sofa in his boxers , eating ice cream and watching movies on tv , she threatened to kick him out of the house if he did not find a job . he instead applied to the american film institute ( afi ) in los angeles and , at 19 , became the youngest member of his class .\nnot necessarily incendiary and diabolical , this relatively innocuous indie film , shown only in a few select theaters , still had the ornery temperament of a relentless curmudgeon and the razor sharp guile of a confident screenwriter . two estranged brothers apprehensively join forces to find a lost love . emotional indigestion follow . a cool , remarkably airy score by goddamn electric bill make this one of the most sentient , blue - in - the - face road films in the past decade .\nthat\u2019s a silly premise , especially for a movie that doesn\u2019t take a silly approach to the material . at times , doremus and company seem to be struggling to force a narrative arc onto douchebag , when it\u2019s clear they\u2019d rather be watching the characters just hang out . doremus has a good eye for the varied landscapes of california , and dickler creates such a distinctive type\u2014a self - centered man - child who covers his preoccupation with toys , games , and girls by feigning a detached , scholarly expertise\u2014that it\u2019s a shame they slip so easily into conventionality . these people and the world they inhabit are vivid enough to sustain something much more original .\nin the end , neither character is extremely likeable , but they are not utterly detestable either . in fact , audience members don\u2019t have strong emotions about the characters either way and remain indifferent about them throughout the film . because audience members lack interest in the two characters , it is difficult to remain invested in the story . on the surface , the characters\u2019 differences make for an interesting story and good material for dialogue , but the characters fail to capture this potential .\ni do think the likability comes from the fact that despite his looks and charm , he\u2019s a bumbling person and that makes him endearing and human . i wasn\u2019t worried about making him unlikable ; he was interesting . i gravitate to films that are about [ flawed ] characters . i know a lot of men who saw the film who said they acted just like that , and saw a lot of themselves in ray . or women who said they were one of those women .\nsuch a cute romantic comedy : ) justin long & drew barrymore were just amazing & christina applegate was great as drew barrymore ' s sister & charlie day & jason sudeikis were great as justin long ' s best friends . just a great movie about love & how by going the distance your love will survive : ) just watch this adorable film : ) you won ' t regret it ! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )\nthis time around , the nervous - laughter factor comes from the movie ' s barely printable title instead of its premise , which is hardly as outrageous as two straight men trying to make a gay porn film : brothers sam and tom , estranged for two years for reasons we don ' t know , are brought together by the former ' s fiancee , who arrives unannounced at tom ' s door and all but insists that he come back with her to be at the wedding .\nmarauders is like a sophomoric college essay : it\u2019s full of interesting ideas that get bungled in the execution . interspersed with some well - done robbery set pieces , the film as a whole strives for unearned depth , dropping an entire thesis about the nature of legality and ethics into a straightforward crime flick , thereby making the latter elements needlessly confusing while the former get watered down into lackadaisical platitudes . attempting the profound when you\u2019re out of your depth is the definition of pretentious , and marauders succumbs to this temptation .\nthe racquet club . park city , utah . friday , jan . 22 , 8 p . m . the temporary , ascending rows of theater seats quickly fill up . if it\u2019s not a full house , it\u2019s pretty darn close . after a brief welcome from doremus , the film begins . it\u2019s funny and better - paced than spooner , although that could also be because of the things coming out of the titular character\u2019s mouth . you\u2019re on the edge of your seat wondering what dickish thing dickler will say next .\nthe main character , ray livingston , has a job that seemingly only exists in film . he runs some dating blogs , and somehow makes a living from it . scenes predominantly feature young people who seemingly have nothing but free time to walk around and talk to each other , and eat with each other at fancy restaurants . this is the type of movie and characters i frequently hate , so why did i find myself loving it so much ? why did it feel fresh , original and unique , like something i had never seen before ? because these were roles and depictions always reserved for white actors .\nthe problem at this juncture is this : we have no reason to care about ray ' s wounded pride . nothing in the script has given us a reason to think there ' s more to him than we see , and brice doesn ' t project enough personality here to make up for the screenplay ' s failings . we ' d much rather spend time with jake ( william jackson harper ) , the wry best - friend character who routinely takes the air out of his puffed - up pal (\nyou ever think you might hate women , ray ?\n) and who gets most of the film ' s intermittent laughs .\nmarauders wants us to ask difficult questions about the value of staying within the confines of the law , and to its credit , it does so by explicitly rejecting the reactionary dirty harry ideology that drives so many cops - vs . - robbers stories . rather than endorsing the fast - and - loose \u201cfuck the law\u201d attitude of heroes we\u2019re meant to laud for their internal moral compass , the film suggests such ethical compromises end up doing more harm than good . even better , it ultimately leaves judgment in the hands of the viewer , refusing to grant either legitimacy or condemnation to well - intentioned criminality . if only marauders didn\u2019t have such difficulty wrangling its own contradictory intentions .\nthe social network\nexplores the moment at which facebook , the most revolutionary social phenomena of the new century , was invented - - through the warring perspectives of the super - smart young men who each claimed to be there at its inception . the result is a drama rife with both creation and destruction ; one that audaciously avoids a singular pov , but instead , by tracking dueling narratives , mirrors the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships that define our time . drawn from multiple sources , the film captures the visceral thrill of the heady early days of a culture - changing phenomenon in the making - - and the way it both pulled a group of young revolutionaries together and then split them apart .\nray\u2019s friendship with jake ( william jackson harper ) allows for the strongest scenes in the film . the two have a great chemistry , harper finding comedy in moments that would otherwise play dry , even obnoxious . wise\u2019s turn as rochelle is also a highlight . tough and beautiful with a penchant for snappy delivery , the young actress is at her most engaging when she\u2019s dressing down ray for his childish , navel - gazing thoughts on love and sex . when the movie works \u2013 and it works just enough \u2013 it\u2019s gleefully aware of ray\u2019s asshole - ness . the man\u2019s got good friends and the charms to find the right woman ( not to mention a nice brooklyn apartment ) , but an inability to get out of his own way and get over himself .\ni looked at a lot of woody allen and \u201chigh fidelity , \u201d which is precise and particular of how the main character describes his perception of the world . it\u2019s a low -

ie as a cautionary tale . i also thought they were wonderful and supportive . what a lucky little baby he is , to be surrounded by such a good family !\ncot death is another word for sids or sudden infant death syndrome . this is a phenomenon where seemingly healthy infants , most before the age of six months , die of unexplained causes while sleeping . how might the experience of losing a child to sids / cot death have influenced kizzy ' s parents feelings about caleb ?\ntic tac has been held up by the government as a model of good practice but kizzy ' s father kevin believes its work undermines a parent ' s efforts to instil abstinence in a child . his daughter accepts it was her mistake but her fears that having kaylib meant the\nend of fun\nhave not been realised .\nthe bringing up britain season kicks off tonight with is breast best ? at 9pm . bbc three presenter cherry healey found the experience of breast feeding both painful and traumatic and with the uk having such low breastfeeding rates in comparison with the rest of europe she is on a mission to find out how other mums feel . viewers can also chat with her online during the programme .\nthankyou kerry , like all 1st time mums she is nervous about the labour but knows she will be fine , thankyou for taking the time to reply . kizzy has most likely touched alot of young girls lives whether they are pregnant or not she is very brave to have taken part in the documentary series and im sure you are all very proud of her .\nfinally , a child learning from her mistakes , saying that schools promote sex . all teenagers hear about in the media and at school is sex . of course they will experiment . we need to get back to teaching morality , and abstinence until marriage and stop advertising sex everywhere . you can ' t even go to the shopping centre without seeing posters of women in underwear . of course this nation has a problem !\nin their different ways , all the programmes paint an intimate picture of both parenting and childhood - from extraordinary personal stories to practical advice and debate programming . it ' s not just aimed at mums and dads , we hope bringing up britain will also offer a unique window into the complex , varied and sometimes downright hard lives of young parents , and the many issues they are now facing in today ' s society .\nnext he was on have i got news for you , where the blokey all - male panel brought out his more epicene side and he started flicking his diva - from - a - ditch hair and rolling his huge kohl - rimmed eyes at jack dee and charlie brooker . he even stalked off halfway through to go to the loo , girlishly flaunting those bendy black pipe - cleaner legs . brand is like the hermaphrodite clownfish , male or female when it suits him . he ' s completely mesmerising at the moment , a self - perpetuating paradox : the more brand you get , the more you want . recently he has blossomed , dropping the big brother ' s big potty mouth shock - and - uurgh stuff , and relaxing instead into a more intelligent persona , bubbling with barmy eloquence , skipping nimbly between the gutter and higher things . fame becomes him .\nshe wants a university education and a career , possibly as a probation officer , and plans to use her experience to help other girls in her situation . she agreed to let her family videotape her agonising , 20 - hour labour as a way of showing girls the painful realities of having a baby , which in kizzy ' s case included an episiotomy that required three cuts and 80 stitches .\ni ' d like to have seen some searching interviews with all of the protagonists . i ' d like to have heard some statistics put to them all about kizzy ' s and her baby ' s chances in life . 90 % of young , single mothers remain on benefits for life and children born to such young mothers are statistically likely to be underachievers in everything except crime . i felt the programme was just a bit too cosy .\ni was pregnant at 17 , during the final year of my a levels . there was no way i wanted a termination - i did not see my age or situation as a reason to do this . the baby ' s dad did not want to know . i faced a lot of criticism for my decisions ;\nyou ' ve ruined your life\n,\nwhat a waste\nand\ni had high hopes for you\nare a few commonly used phrases that spring to mind ! i ' m 25 now . my son is seven . he was also diagnosed with autism aged two and is in an autistic unit at school . i ' ve brought him up on my own and , yes , it ' s hard work , but it doesn ' t mean your life is over . i went to university , got a first degree in film and media and am now managing media relations and pr for a political campaigning organisation in london . i bought my first house at 22 and have just completed a part - time masters degree . i resent being classed as another statistic . what is\nright\nfor some people may not be right for others . i ' ve lived my life the unconventional way , but don ' t regret a second . teenage , single mums have so much on their plate and have to work a lot harder to achieve their dreams . they should be given the credit they ' re due . it ' s hard doing it on your own , but in no way does it mean your life is over .\ni caught a few minutes of it while tidying up before going up the wooden hill to bedfordshire . very interesting stuff from the bits i saw . the father ' s gran was terrifying , and refusing to acknowledge that her boy could have any responsibility .\nkids having kids\nis part of life nowadays , but not a good thing . compulsory and detailed sex , moral and relationship education is needed . kizzy seemed quite sensible from what i saw of her , but she ' s in for a tough time , and her son will have a difficult start to his life .\nsadly , that is so true ! i belong to aa . many years ago , this one woman mentioned her 16 / year - old daughter was pregnant . she had been living with her father and stepmother . father and stepmom made it very clear they were not going to have a knocked - up teenager living with them . the girl refused an abortion so she moved into her mom ' s place , an apartment complex for welfare cases . i was stunned when all of the women in the room were crowing how this woman was going to be a grandmoo . many of the female aa ' ers at the meeting were not single moos or welfare cases . i did not understand how\nlights , camera , harp glissando - the royal variety performance was upon us again . which meant : dame kiri te kanawa making cow eyes up at the royal box while singing the national anthem , acrobats balancing on ikea shelves , gruesome twosome katherine jenkins and darcey bussell out - hoofing one another , joan rivers accidentally swearing and offering her neck up to the queen (\ngo on , slice it !\n) - oh , and seal singing\nlucy in the sky with diamonds\nbacked up by a whirling , gurning dog ' s dinner of dancing boys and girls , fireworks and stiltwalkers . the variety performance is so naff it has almost gone full circle and become cool again . every year it dies of overkill and comes back stronger .\nthis is not a new problem . growing up in a small town , there were many girls who became pregnant in our regional high school , some younger than kizzy . what they did do is integrate them into the high school , paying attention to their special needs , rather than sending them away as they would have in my parents ' day . they got the support they needed to finish school with a trade or prepared for college . there were various reasons they were pregnant , but seeing someone my age heavily pregnant in the cafeteria line was a sobering experience for me and spoke more for contraception than the dry lectures in sex education classes given by the gym teachers ."]}

( he indicates stan . )\nwe have been so used to viewing the boys on video , that it was a real pleasure last evening to see it on the big screen at a meeting of the l & h appreciation society . this film is a real riot with all the gags centered around ollie ' s wedding present from stan - a jigsaw puzzle . the gags work after almost 70 years because it could have just as well have been a nitendo game in one of the modern - day sitcom . if this film is available on video , and if you are a l & h fan , i strongly urge you to either rent or purchase a copy .\nstan makes himself right at home - he takes a magazine , sits down , and reaches for an ornamental wax piece of fruit . after helping himself and taking a few bites out of it with gusto - and then scratching his head in his characteristic way without noticing anything unusual , ollie informs his dumb pal :\nwhy that ' s not real fruit ! it ' s imitation . it ' s made of wax !\nmrs . hardy points out :\noh , so that ' s where it ' s been going . that ' s the third apple i ' ve missed this week .\nmostly comedies , experimental , and animation . heavy on the 1920 ' s and 1930 ' s , especially buster keaton , laurel & hardy , and the little rascals . \u2026\none of mr . kelly & apos ;

up loner for whom even this menial job represents a chance at dignity . modest but affecting , the pic will play very well with spanish - language auds stateside ; though not unusual enough to draw much attention from anglophone art house patrons , the film ' s reach is enhanced by the presence of guillermo del toro in one of the producers ' chairs .\nto\u00f1o ( dami\u00e1n alc\u00e1zar , magallanes ) lives an aimless life drifting from one job to the next , but when his gig as a junkyard night watchman quite literally goes to the dogs , he\u2019s really up against it . a chance encounter with a former boss brings a ray of hope : two weeks in charge of a road crew painting the yellow center stripe down 120 miles of harsh desert highway . his team of rookies includes an ex - con , an almost - blind truck driver , a circus stagehand and a rebellious teen , but mile by mile , line by line , the gig becomes an unexpectedly life - changing journey for each of them .\nthe scene in which the banana guards step forward and claim to be banana guard 16 is a reference to the scene from the 1960 stanley kubrick film spartacus .\nit was a waste of time , the movie sucks . bad acting , weak story , boring . for the every day movie watcher this will be a boring movie . the story about a group of guys painting a line has no point , there is nothing interesting about it . i expected to see something good but that never happened . very disappointed .\nthere is a flyer for lsp ' s play summer showers from the titular episode in the alley where the graffiti is .\nshot with the delicate precision of a nature documentary , the film plays engagingly on its title and thematic guide by picking out splashes of yellow in gorse , bulldozers and sunsets , while dan zlotnik\u2019s brass - dominated soundtrack marches at the slow pace of the hand - operated road - painting machine , keeping sentiment at arm\u2019s length . not everything works : a romantic interlude in a remote hacienda never rises above the level of clich\u00e9 , and the dramatic finale is a little too hurried to deliver the emotional closure the script is chasing . but it\u2019s easy to forgive these mis - hits in such a likeable elegy for a time when real jobs existed , and there were lines in the middle of the road against the chaos .\na shadowy silhouette appears from the corner and whispers\ni love you\nto jake , freaking him out . jake runs after it , but loses sight and asks a banana guard if he saw something . the guard just says himself and the door to the showers are the only thing there . jake enters the shower , while the guard smiles and the shadowy figure creeps out from behind the guard .\nhe is to go out with four novices and a rolling spray - paint machine to lay down a dashed yellow line for a 217 - kilometer stretch between two small towns . a tedious job ( and , with the rainy season due soon , one with a time crunch built in ) , but antonio takes it very seriously :\nyour flag is our life ,\nhe warns the men who will stand a few yards away from the paint machine to wave down cars . but whereas this seriousness doesn ' t keep him from being a good boss ( he shares the work and reward equally ) , antonio is strangely short of temper when it comes to 20 year -

burn bonding of a band of hard - up misfits who have been assigned the task of painting the centre line on a 220km - long stretch of rural mexican road makes for an old - fashioned bittersweet buddy trip in celso garcia\u2019s debut feature . moments of melancholic truth , drama and comedy are coaxed out of the contrast between ordinary people and a big landscape , and working - class male emotional reticence drives a plot that dips lightly into a series of slowly revealed backstories .\neven before we realise that to\u00f1o has his own wayward son issues , the potential for father - figure bonding is obvious , like much in a film that uses campfire stories and the metaphor of a life - saving line in the road to tell a tale of lonely men thawing into camaraderie that we\u2019ve seen so often before . but there\u2019s a real satisfaction in the reliable solidity of garcia\u2019s film , which backs up its nostalgic , mexican western glow of nostalgia for simpler times with a firm commitment to the dignity of men who have been cast aside by families , personal failures or the economic downturn .\nthe road through the harshly beautiful desert landscape becomes an equally important element of the tale . from the oversized bull sign that offers them some relief from the scorching hot sun to the rundown hacienda where they shelter from a storm and receive a welcome meal and a place to bed down , to the sweetly singing religious procession that magically emerges out of the dusk , the road provides some bounty . but it is also a source of danger ; of flash floods and drivers who don\u2019t respect the crew\u2019s flagmen .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nan honest portrait of five women who go through the night looking for other possibilities of beauty , while discovering the passing of time , lost youth , the mirage that is fame and the chance for happiness .\nhe gets a break when an engineer from a former construction job stops for gas and recognizes him . eventually the man offers him a job : to paint the yellow lines on a long country highway for 210 kilometers , about 130 miles , and to finish in 15 days , before the rainy season starts . the engineer gathers a motley crew for to\u00f1io to supervise : an out - of work truck driver , a former circus handyman , an ex - con , and a sullen teenager . they are walking through the desert of san luis potosi in east central mexico , most of the time in the full sun , performing a dull and repetitive task that wears down their minds as the heat wears down their bodies . and although two of them wave warning flags at each end of the procession , the few passing vehicles often go by at top speed , posing considerable danger .\nprincess bubblegum allowing the banana guards to express themselves rather than re - write their brains for absolute conformity is a sign that she changed greatly during the time king of ooo was the illegitimate ruler of the candy kingdom .\nfollowing several weeks of screenings and voting , this morning the mexican academy of cinematographic arts and sciences announced that the film \u201c 600 miles \u201d ( 600 millas ) will represent mexico in the best foreign language film category at the 88th academy awards . the selection was made from a list of 14 tittles that included\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nthe episode starts off with finn and jake walking in the dead of night in the candy kingdom after a get together . jake is upset over a game they played called\npilgrims of the land ,\nas well as people not eating his homemade guacamole . finn remarks that he is probably upset because peppermint butler kept beating him , and then tries to comfort him by expressing his love for jake ' s guacamole . as the two continue walking through the city , they begin to notice graffiti painted on the buildings . jake thinks the art is beautiful while finn expresses concern that the art is disrespectful . as finn touches the art he notices that it is still wet , and then the two hear noises from around the corner . they discover that the painter is a banana guard , but when they try to confront him he runs into the guard barracks and they lose track of him .\nthe director and dp emiliano villanueva are appreciative of the hard , often desolate landscape this road winds through , and paired with dan zlotnick ' s not - quite - sentimental score , the movie ' s sense of place convinces thoroughly . it ' s the perfect setting for antonio , who long ago had stopped looking for anything good in life , to achieve the kind of small satisfaction that might nudge him back into the company of the living .\nduring the scene where banana guard 16 shows finn the room where he does all of his art , it shows a certain piece of art that highly resembles uboa from the game\nyume nikki\n.\na tiffany graffiti implies he survived the battle against the queen worm during\ndentist\n. this is later confirmed in\npreboot\n.\nthe ensemble of veteran mexican thesps and newcomer hollander evince credible chemistry , while the tip -

( in contrast , mr . mishra\u2019s effort to seek help for his alcoholism is hushed up . ) talk of mrs . mishra\u2019s special powers spreads quickly . in a grotesquely self - serving way , some parents bring their children to be blessed by her before their sats . one woman drags in her son who\u2019s stopped being vegetarian \u2014 he hangs out with hispanic kids and eats chicken mcnuggets

mishra as he struggles to grow within a family shattered by loss and disoriented by a recent move from india to america . \u201cfamily life\u201d is equally the story of ajay\u2019s parents , whose response to grief renders them unable to find the space in which to cherish and raise him .\nmedicine and science do little for birju . he is blind . he will not walk or talk again . and sharma gives us a potent , unsentimental and at times darkly humorous narrative of how this horrific loss flings the mishra family out of the life they had into an unknown and frightening terrain where little coheres .\nakhilendra mishra is an indian film and television character actor best known for his role as kroor singh in the 1990s doordarshan fantasy television series chandrakanta . his other notable

kram . after marriage , they set up a theater group vijeta and both are associated with it . later too , they have appeared in many television shows . they first married in a civil court on 3 february 2009 , followed by a traditional marriage two years later .\nakhil sharma received a cheque for \u20ac100 , 000 . the prize money was presented to the winner by owen keegan , chief executive of the award\u2019s founders and sponsors , dublin city council . dublin city has a long and rich literary heritage as well as a thriving living literary scene , and was designated a unesco city of

displacement\u201d , said margaret hayes , dublin city librarian . \u201cakhil sharma , our 21st winner , joins a unique creative collective . their stories delve deep into personal and family dynamics and bring us memorable narrators , singular voices that stay in our imaginations , the mark of all great storytellers . \u201d\nthe winning novel was chosen from a total of 160 titles , nominated by libraries in 118 cities in 43 countries . it was first published in the usa by w . w . norton and in the uk by faber & faber . the shortlist of ten novels , as chosen by an international

published in english . uniquely , the award receives its nominations from public libraries in cities around the globe and recognises both writers and translators . the winner was announced at a ceremony in dublin ' s mansion house today .\nsuffering and the struggle to ameliorate suffering are not unknown in fiction but family life pulls off the extraordinary feat of showing them in their correct alignment . closing the book , having known this mix of light and dark , you are left with the sense that while reading you were actually at the core of human experience and what it is to be alive . this is the highest form of achievement in literature . few manage it . this novel does . triumphantly . luminously . movingly . all hail family life by akhil sharma .\nas a reading experience family life desolates and infuriates . it prompts questions too . why should the suffering rich get better care than the suffering rest ? isn ' t all human suffering equal ? however , alongside its subtle interrogation of inequality ( this isn ' t a febrile work of social criticism ) the novel also celebrates the mishra family ' s achievement . for all their imperfections , and they have plenty , ( there are no paragons in this novel ) , somehow they cope and somehow they meet birju\u2019s needs , which is a kind of triumph and , for a reader , it is profoundly consoling that they manage this .\nwhen we first meet the mishras , they are a young , middle - class family living in delhi in the mid - 1970s . india is under emergency rule , a time of gloom and uncertainty , but for 8 - year - old ajay and his older brother , birju , life is playful and secure . their mother lights their world , while their father seems so superfluous that ajay wonders if he\u2019s been assigned to them by the government . mr . mishra decides the family should emigrate to the united states because he craves the \u00adglamour of western science ( so much so that he regularly gets his urine tested in a lab ) .\n\u201cfamily life\u201d is devastating as it reveals how love becomes warped and jagged and even seemingly vanishes in the midst of huge grief . but it also gives us beautiful , heart - stopping scenes where love in the mishra family finds air and ease . there are moments when ajay and his mother set aside their hurt and fear to breathe life into birju ( or \u201cbrother - life , \u201d as ajay refers to him at such times ) . they joke , playfully call him names , respond cheekily on his behalf . ajay snuggles into bed with his vomit - smelling brother and complains about some teenage humiliation at school with an intimacy he doesn\u2019t share with his parents .\nthe narrative of family life is thus : the mishra ' s - mother , father and two sons , birju and his younger brother ajay ( who tells the story and is the novel\u2019s pivot ) emigrate from india to the us in 1978 . for ajay ' s older brother , birju , the new world is initially a triumph until an accident in a swimming pool causes catastrophic brain damage , after which he needs twenty - four care . initially he receives this in medical settings , but then he goes home and is cared for by his parents and his brother . the story of birju ' s care is the kernel of the novel , it ' s living heart .\nthis distinctiveness is evident from the first page , when the narrator , ajay mishra , tells us that his gloomy , ageing father recently reproached him for having been a selfish baby . his father\u2019s evidence ? \u201ci would start to cry as soon as he turned on the tv . i am forty and he is seventy - two . when he said this , i began tickling him . . . \u2018who\u2019s the sad baby ? \u2019 i said . \u2018who\u2019s the baby who cries all the time ? \u2019 \u201d there is a strange dynamic to this family , an unexpected combination of tension and release , blunt accusation and unnerving reaction . these are people living off - kilter , for reasons that soon emerge .\nthe mishras settle in a one - bedroom apartment in queens and begin to forge a new life . ajay stumbles , unable to tell his white schoolmates apart , but birju saunters with a new confidence . when mr . mishra offers his sons 50 cents for every library book they read , ajay wonders if his father has turned too american \u2014 an indian dad would have threatened to beat them for not reading , surely . when his mother dons a pair of jeans for the first time , birju teases her \u2014 fat thighs ! fat thighs ! and soon birju passes the exams for the bronx high school of science . the nervous family opens the school\u2019s acceptance letter at the temple , on their knees before an idol of the hindu god ram .\njust as sharma moved to new york with his parents and elder brother , anup , so the eight - year - old ajay mishra makes the same journey in family life . while ajay finds the transition difficult , his elder brother birju thrives in america , and even wins a place at a prestigious high school . but shortly before term starts birju hits his head on the bottom of a swimming pool and lays unconscious underwater for three minutes , resulting in catastrophic brain damage that leaves him blind and unable to communicate or move . after two years in hospital and nursing homes the family take birju home , and the rest of ajay ' s childhood is played out against a backdrop of 24 - hour care , a stream of crackpot faith healers and a family increasingly defined by alcoholism , destructive tensions and lies .\nakhil sharma\u2019s new novel family life comes out of hard autobiographical experience . sharma , along with his parents and his older brother , migrated from india to the us in the late 1970s . after a promising start for the family , sharma\u2019s older brother dived into a swimming pool and struck the bottom . the accident left him physically and mentally disabled , and radically re - routed the family\u2019s plans in america . years later sharma , already the author of a well - received novel , an obedient father ( 2000 ) , as well as a series of short stories for the new yorker and granta , decided to pursue a novel inspired by his family\u2019s situation . he spent 12 years on it and wrote no less than 7 , 000 pages along the way , consumed by the effort of getting it right . while this back story invests the book with immediate interest , its distinctive achievement in storytelling terms alone makes it one of the year\u2019s literary standouts .\nwhen he gave up his job he had no idea family life would take so long to write , and while he says his editors were supportive , he also had to insist on not publishing until he was ready .\nabout six years in my editor at faber said this wasn ' t a healthy situation and wanted to see a draft . when he read it he said : ' akhil , this is fine . what is your problem with it ? we can put this straight into copyediting . ' and i know if i had read that book as a reader i wouldn ' t have disrespected the writer , but it wasn ' t doing what i wanted it to do . that book was dense with unhappiness , whereas i wanted a book that contained all the unhappiness , but was also full of life . so i carried on . everything i ' ve ever written has won some sort of award . there is no point in doing something that is not going to move the needle .\na novel is a collection of facts that just happen to have been made up . as the reader reads they stream in to the reader ' s imagination and form a virtual equivalent of what was in the writer ' s head . the efficacy of this transaction is in direct ratio to the veracity of the author ' s facts . the better they are , the sharper the world that takes shape in the reader ' s psyche . as readers we know this . mediocre texts generate fuzzy chimeras , while more authoritative narratives so convince we can talk about the characters in the story , for example , just as we talk about our friends because they are as real as our friends . but beyond these is an even higher kind of novel that does more than engage . this kind occupies you so absolutely that while you read and for a while after you finish , the specificities of your own life don ' t exist because they have been supplanted by the specificities of the author ' s invented world . this kind of usurpation is the greatest pleasure a reader can know and family life by akhil sharma is one of those rare novels that does this .\n' it took 12 - and - a - half years and i can ' t believe how bad that time was ,\nsays akhil sharma .\ni was such a different person when i began writing it that i feel as if i ' ve shattered my youth on this book . i still find it hard to believe that it ' s over , and i have this constant fear that i need to go and sit at my computer .\nsharma is talking about his second novel , family life , which is published in the uk next week . it tells the autobiographical story of a family ' s emigration from india to the us in the late 1970s , and how an accident that left the elder son severely brain - damaged brought them close to collapse . the book has already been published to much acclaim in the us \u2013\ndeeply unnerving and gorgeously tender at its core\nsaid the new york times \u2013 matching the praise sharma received when he emerged in the late 90s with prize - winning short stories and then a 2001 debut novel , an obedient father , which won the pen / hemingway award . but the positive response to family life still feels\nalmost as unreal as the book being done ,\nhe says . the intervening period of silence \u2013 although he was named on granta ' s 2007 list of best young american writers \u2013 has not been easy .\nsa re ga ma pa li\u2019l champs season 2 : s . p . balasubrahmanyam to appear as a special guest\nurltoken exclusively reported about abp coming up with a historical fiction show based on post independence india .\nand so on to act in the series and it seems the show continuous with the trend of cashing in great actors .\nthe show which is titled as \u2018idea of india\u2019 will hit the screens sometimes in this month ( june , 2013 ) .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nakul balaji is having a blast in amsterdam ; actor shares a video . . .\nex bigg boss kannada contestant niveditha gowda is missing kiccha sudeep ; see the post . . .\nex -

year - old ajay , about to leave his known world for a very different one . writing from a young boy\u2019s perspective allows sharma to explore the sentimentality and melodrama surrounding this departure , without ever succumbing to the saccharine . and so with great ceremony and gravity and then regret , ajay awards his toys to the poor neighbourhood boys queueing for the day\u2019s milk delivery , and soon thereafter leaves for a new life .\nin turn , sharma conjures the seeming marvels of america for the new arrivals \u2013 ajay\u2019s father proudly introduces them to carpeted flooring and hot water on demand while ajay directly discovers the just - as - remarkable delights of snowfall , 1980s television and lobby doors that open automatically . meanwhile , true to indo - american form , ajay\u2019s parents pressure his bright and assured older brother birju to study and study and study . he gets into a prestigious high school , only then to suffer the catastrophic swimming pool injury .\n\u201ci was irritated , \u201d ajay tells us , right after his brother\u2019s accident . \u201cbirju had gotten into the bronx high school of science , and now he was going to get to be in a hospital . i was certain our mother would feel bad for him and give him a gift . \u201d once more , sharma reveals more than his narrator intends by working within the limited circumference of a young person\u2019s view of what is happening around him .\nas the seriousness of birju\u2019s situation becomes clearer , and then all - consuming for his wrecked parents whose marriage simultaneously begins to fracture , ajay goes through a series of reactions that attest to his own despair and confusion . with classmates , he veers between total silence and baroque exaggeration about his brother\u2019s condition . at home , he teases his inert brother relentlessly , compulsively , even aggressively , pretending all is well so he doesn\u2019t have to reckon with birju\u2019s grotesque physical state .\nafter the family moves to new jersey , where his mother welcomes all manner of self - styled indian healers to practise their arts on her infirm son ( in vain ) , ajay begins talking to a tree he passes on his way to school . he imagines that the tree is god and that the two of them can negotiate better terms for birju or for ajay , but not for both . the better ajay does in his teenage life \u2013 good grades , a girlfriend who actually wants to kiss him back , a body that works \u2013 the more guilt , and frustration about this guilt , he feels . eventually , he turns to his father for solace . \u201cafter a moment i said , \u2018daddy , i am so sad . \u2019 \u2018you\u2019re sad ? \u2019 my father said angrily , \u2018i want to hang myself every day . \u2019 \u201d\nwhile his resilient mother eventually becomes a figure of spiritual power and authority in their middle - class , indo - american world , ajay\u2019s father becomes a flailing alcoholic prone to elaborate fits of self - pity and rage \u2013 the tyrant - baby crying from the novel\u2019s first page onwards . indeed , the most moving material in this novel concerns ajay\u2019s reactions to his father\u2019s anger and sadness as it roils alongside his mother\u2019s more placid sadness and endurance . trying to help and love each of them , and to help and love his brother , and to understand his own part and position in all of it , ajay turns to reading and writing as his best possible means of doing all of this . family life is the hard - earned and impressive result .\nwe use cookies for a number of reasons , such as keeping ft sites reliable and secure , personalising content and ads , providing social media features and to analyse how our sites are used .\nmarkets data delayed by at least 15 minutes . \u00a9 the financial times ltd 2018 . ft and \u2018financial times\u2019 are trademarks of the financial times ltd . the financial times and its journalism are subject to a self -

year - old ajay first learns of the accident , unaware of its gravity , he casually speculates that if birju were dead , \u201ci would get to be the only son . \u201d\nyears pass and birju\u2019s condition remains unchanged . he lies in a bed at home , moaning and puffing spit . ajay prays for countless hours with his parents for his brother\u2019s revival , and feels guilty as he sneaks in a prayer to do well on his math test . his father becomes alcoholic . his mother is consumed by her efforts to \u201cwake\u201d birju . his parents fight , viciously . and in their grief they turn their gaze away from ajay and his need for nurture . they cannot rouse themselves to see how 13 years old he is , how 14 , how 15 . one cheerless christmas day , ajay erupts , sobbing to his parents that he too deserves something , for enduring \u2014 at least some pizza . \u201ci am so sad , \u201d ajay confides to his father one evening . \u201cyou\u2019re sad ? \u201d his father responds ; \u201ci want to hang myself every day . \u201d\n\u201cfamily life\u201d chronicles ajay\u2019s passage through this wreckage . he gets top grades at school . at home he bathes his brother , \u201ccleaning his ass with a bar of soap . \u201d he begins to understand that the difference between his life and his brother\u2019s is permanent . he talks to god ( who looks more like superman than krishna ) about his distress at being the sole recipient of his family\u2019s luck . during a fight with his mother , ajay provokingly strips off his clothes , recalling how , in india , eunuchs did this when begging , to panic onlookers into throwing them money . his mother snaps : \u201cif birju were all right , i would tell you . . . go with your stupid grades and die . \u201d\nsharma ' s second novel , family life , took more than 12 years to write . telling the story of a family wrought by tragedy , it mirrors his own harrowing story\ni remember gary shteyngart saying to me that there was a sense that i was going to be the one , but then i just vanished . i was basically forgotten and would apply for all these jobs or small fellowships and nobody knew who i was . i know careers are based on books , not on getting attention all the time , but to get some attention is also nice .\nbut while the broad facts of that story match those of sharma and his brother anup ' s own lives , finding a way to most effectively tell it proved almost insuperable . from the beginning he was aware that it was\na coming - of - age story , an illness story and the story of a child ' s love for his parents and his brother\n. it is also an immigrant story . and although sharma objects to an\noften racist category that places white people in a separate category from brown and black people , family life is definitely an immigrant novel , and one of its subjects is the indian community in america of which i am tremendously grateful to be a part ,\nhe says .\nbut while it is a very loving community , if you are perceived as being shameful then you are rejected almost immediately . that is seen with alcoholism and other addictions , but also mental illness . my mother would always say my brother was in a coma , a more acceptable phrase than brain - damaged . i think these are things we should acknowledge and deal with as a community and was an aspect i felt was worth representing .\nalthough sharma admits his novel could belong in several literary traditions ,\ni don ' t think it belongs in any one tradition . and it is also technically interesting because it is without much of a plot . something occurs , and then the weight of that causes a bunch of other things . but each thing is not pushing into the next thing , so i read a lot of really great books in trying to find a way to tell my story , a life story , in a way that would hold people ' s interest .\nhe read vs naipaul ' s a house for mr biswas (\na book that gives the ending away\n) ; and proust (\nto my mind the great work of the 20th century , more so than even ulysses\n) to find solutions for his book about remembrance . he also looked at non - fiction memoir ,\nbut none of these allowed for the experience i wanted to generate .\nhis breakthrough was a technical one when he decided to eliminate elements of what he calls\nthe sensorium\nresulting in minimal description of sound , smell , or feel in the novel , elements that sharma says act in a\nsticky\nway on the reader .\nand that ' s why other writers like those elements , that stickiness can be useful in arresting the reader , but in a story not reliant on plot i wanted to remove any sources of friction so as to provide the narrative with more velocity . in technical terms it is the thing i am most proud of .\nwhat has been his parents ' response to a book in which few of the characters come out well ?\nthey haven ' t read it , and i think i would prefer it if they didn ' t . i don ' t see the point of them revisiting these things . we all behaved badly . if i get on a plane i become uncomfortable and irritable . imagine the pressure of spending years of having no money and taking care of someone . you behave badly . you get angry for all sorts of reasons . you become self - destructive . when i asked my father if he wanted to read it he said : ' why ? i was there . ' and he was . we all were .\nof india , and delhi his birthplace , sharma says :\ni used to go back so often , sometimes for three months in the summer , it felt like i never really left . and my family never really became integrated into america because of our crisis . when you are under that sort of enormous strain you are pushed back to your roots , and my parents were pushed back into this world of faith healers and religion , so in a lot of ways i didn ' t feel like i really entered america until i went to college .\nliving in new jersey , he grew up in an openly racist environment\nwith people cursing at us in the street , and being spat at at school . when i entered college , although i didn ' t experience racism , i still didn ' t feel comfortable and wanted to view myself as separate and different . it took quite a long time for me to realise that it was ok , and i didn ' t have to always be on guard .\nafter having virtually no access to books in india , on arriving in america sharma had become a prodigious reader .\ni felt alone and frightened and reading was a little like drinking , you could vanish into it . i also watched lots of tv . it was more artificial , but it was also more manageable than real life , and unsurprisingly as a writer i have always liked , and also felt safe , in a constructed reality .\nwhen he was about 15 sharma started to write short stories \u2013\nplagiarised things from science fiction magazines that i ' d present as my own just to receive attention\n\u2013 and he later obsessively studied a biography of ernest hemingway ,\nwithout reading actual hemingway , but i thought , ' this is how it ' s done . ' i learned very quickly and quite soon was writing decently .\nby the time he won a place at princeton \u2013 he later went on to stanford and harvard law school \u2013 his academic career combined business courses with high - profile writing programmes , although he says at the time he didn ' t properly appreciate the eminence of his teachers .\nbut paul auster then was not paul auster as he is now . even toni morrison was not toni morrison in the way she is now . joyce carol oates was probably the most famous back then .\nhis early ambition was straightforwardly to make money .\ni was writing , but it struck me as foolish to do something that i knew was so unlucrative . i admired and respected writers , but in the same way as i admired and respected social workers . it was not something i wanted to do myself .\nsharma went into investment banking and managed to combine the long hours with producing his early stories and his first novel :\nfrom my childhood i learned that i could eat pain .\nan obedient father , begun when he was 19 , was about a corrupt and sexually abusive civil servant , and was set in india as at that time it was a world he knew better than america . for a while after its successful publication\nmoneymaking and writing lived together just fine , but then it just became too horrible being a banker , and i was happy to get out of there .\na 2001 interview casually mentions his\nnice mid - six - figure\nsalary , but\nas you get older you value different things ,\nhe says .\nrecently a former colleague offered me a job paying more than i used to earn , but you only get one life and we\n\u2013 he is married to a lawyer he met shortly before going to harvard \u2013\nhave enough for what we need ."]}

run education , production , exhibition and distribution centre committed to promoting the art of cinema .\nduring your early career , you were a student under shigehiko hasumi , former president of the university of tokyo , and one of japan ' s leading film scholars . he is regarded in japan as one the greatest film theorists in the world , but save from a few appearances in film comment magazine , his teachings are largely unknown to the rest of the world . can you talk about your experiences with him ?\nwhich genre my film ultimately belongs in is up to the audience to decide when the film is finished , but certainly as a starting point i always start my next project considering which genre i would like to work in . so in that sense i am a genre director .\nwhen his revisionist serial killer film cure burst onto the scene in 1998 , kiyoshi kurosawa was quickly seen as the new hope for fans of fantastic cinema worldwide . as a result of that film ' s success he is mainly known internationally as a horror film director . on his home ground , the director has above all established himself as the creator of thought - provoking films that walk the fine line between art and entertainment . the following is a composite of two interviews with the director , held in early 2000 and early 2001 , both at the international film festival rotterdam .\non july 18 , 2012 , it was announced that abc family would develop the film into a television series by i . marlene king , who wrote the film and adapted pretty little liars . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however , the project did not move past the development stage .\nthe reason i take this approach to filmmaking is , although film needs a fictional story element , it also is a medium that allows you to record the reality around you . you ' re filming real forests and real people . i think that film for me is a medium point between a fictional story and reality . you start with the genre , which is fiction , and gradually move towards reality . somewhere in between you find film .\nmoving on to barren illusion , you worked with a student crew from the film school of tokyo on the film . they also contributed to the premise of the story , it being a love story . but also what struck me was that you were working with these very young actors . the only older character in the film is the doctor , who disappears at a certain moment and after that the characters seem to only be getting younger .\nan anthology horror film following 3 stories including demons , cannibals , psychopaths and demigods all intertwined , taking place in the final 31 days of earth .\nwhile our main purpose is thinking film , practice is not alien to us . as a production company , s\u00e9ance was involved in several films ;

[ 4 ]\ni don ' t think there ' s any mystery to that . i think that was also the case in the past in the u . s . , say in the 1940s / 50s , where people churned out many more films . the other factor is that budgets in japan are so low that in order to survive as a filmmaker , you have to work on several films a year . with such a low budget , the director ' s fee is also low . there are times when i wish i had more time where i could work on and create a good film , but on the other hand , i think when you very quickly churn out a screenplay and film it over the course of a few weeks and just complete the film very quickly , it may be a little slip - shot in technique , but i think you are able to retain a primitive strength of that uninhibited creative impulsive . it ' s directly translated into the film without a lot of rewrites that may make a film more polished , but i think sometimes , in the course of polishing a film , the basic idea , a strong idea , can lose some of its power .\nwhen ring and all these horror films became such a hit in japan and the horror boom started , i took the chance of making this film . i ' m not sure of course if it ' s going to be a success . if it ' s not , it might mean the end for this type of film , because i think audiences are getting a little bit tired of them .\na bit of a lost classic that slipped between the cracks despite the oscar nomination for lead actress kim stanley , this story of kidnapping and madness in the savage household starts off with a first hour so expertly paced , nuanced and beautifully photographed that you begin to think the 8 . 4 score it has on imdb isn ' t a stretch at all . the way forbes handles the exposition , withhelding information from the audience long enough to keep them guessing , releasing them in an ambiguous fashion to maintain an aura of mystery , all the while not forgetting those little casual moments that don ' t advance the plot but allow the material to breathe and the characters to emerge thridimensional and human instead of drab caricatures drawn as plot devices , is a masterclass in storytelling that one would expect from a master of bergman ' s calibre . the second half steadily accelerates , building up tension between the kidnappers and between them and the police , with some absolutely riveting pieces of suspense such as the cat and mouse game in the subway or the mother of the kidnapped girl making a sudden appearance at the house her daughter is being held to participate in a seance where the medium foreshadows her daughter ' s fate while she remains unaware , right down to the brilliant conclusion around a seance table where stage actor patrick magee has a cameo ( mr . alexander from a clockwork orange ) , seance is a terrific piece of film - making that will particularly appeal to horror fans . kim stanley deserved that oscar and so did richard attenborough ( who would go on to sweep the oscars with gandhi ) , both of whom give electrifying performances as husband and wife .\nyes , the actors in japan understand the situation . so even if they also appear in higher budget films , if they like the script they ' ll appear in the film for very little money .\nthe end leaves even more up in the air as the second - to - last song \u201cif you die ( in sf ) \u201d moves away from some of the more fully fleshed uptempo material for a spacey country tune of sorts . lastly , the 57 - minute ( ! ) instrumental closer not only alerts the listener to the fact that seance school have ventured into prog - conceptual territory , but that their follow - up could split off into another hundred different directions at any given moment .\nhere are plot pieces that i remember : group of kids ( girls and boys ) standing in a circle holding hands . they ' re in a building , likely a church or cathedral . one boy is speaking ; they ' re performing some kind of ritual or seance . a girl stands in the middle of the circle , blindfolded . loud noise / earth shaking occurs and a giant bell , like from a cathedral , drops on top of the girl standing in the middle . she disappears .\nin my films i don ' t like to use sound to elaborate the story . the story is the story and sound operates on a slightly different plane . as i mentioned , film to me is somewhere in between reality and fiction and i think of sound as defining the world that i ' ve created in that film . sound is what defines the place that is neither story nor reality , but in between .\ndid education play a part in the style you chose for the film and how you shot ? because you use some very classic camera effects , like the dissolve of the boy who sits in the window sill .\ni think that kind of disappearing , in a non - visual medium it won ' t work . you can ' t do it in a novel , it ' s almost impossible to do on stage . so those kinds of very simple techniques that belong only to film , even though we now have a lot of computer graphics , i like to treasure and value those expressions that can only be accomplished in the film medium .\nsome part of me is pleased that my film is being remade in the u . s . , but i think , frankly , as long as it ' s being remade in the hollywood system , i have a sense of anxiety and dread that it will be very difficult for the film to be fused with the same sensibilities that i made my original film with . i think that , in general , it ' s impossible for the sensibilities that these japanese films have to be remade inside the hollywood system . i find this sad , and i don ' t care to participate in such ventures . however , i understand that there are many americans who bring to films a lot of intelligence and thoughtfulness . if there were a way , outside of hollywood , to remake my film in the english language for that kind of audience , then that would be wonderful .\ni ' m not sure what i ' d do given the same circumstances and that ' s what makes s\u00e9ance a good film . like life - to be trite - there are no easy answers ; only ' what ifs ' and ' should haves . ' the film isn ' t only about the scares , though there are some really classy ones , but about the complexity of an outcast ' s social problems . while it can be argued that the film is bleak , i feel that it is accurately portraying the outsider ' s plight in a different and smart manner . ( i have purposely avoided the fascinating doppelganger metaphor , to leave you something to ponder . )\nlate one night , jon ( corey feldman ) throws a party for his college buddies and his sexy sweetheart silvia ( mikki padilla ) . looking to liven things up , jon tells the tale of a child ghost , michael miller , who died a long time ago while desecrating a church . intriqued , jon ' s friends coerce him to hold a seance and raise the blasphemous boy from the dead . little did they know it would work , and michael miller would rise from the grave , mad as hell . . . and out for revenge !\n( smiles ) i ' ll tell mister yakusho that . certainly that dirty long coat in blade runner is a very memorable film costume . over the years i ' ve asked my costume department to recreate that kind of a look .\ni believe i made that film in 1999 , but the script i had written almost ten years prior to that , back in 1989 . it was an original story that i devised that related to a theme that i was very interested in at the time , which is the environment . so , although the narrative is important , the critical question in the film is whether a single tree will be chopped down , i . e . will we protect the forest or not .\ni think there weren ' t a lot of differences . i didn ' t have a big budget and the shooting only took two weeks , so it ' s the same as with a low budget film . i shot on film , so that ' s the same too . the only thing was that i couldn ' t use shocking scenes . it has to be more quiet . there aren ' t a lot of people dying , because that ' s not allowed .\ni haven ' t made them recently , but i used to make a lot of yakuza films . these are shot on film and they have a very limited theatrical release , but in fact they are intended to recoup their cost on video .\nfilm screenwriter jake armitage and his wife jo armitage live in london with six of jo ' s eight children , with the two eldest boys at boarding school . the children are spread over jo ' s three . . . see full summary \u00bb\nat first , laura thinks the idea is absurd\u2014she isn\u2019t the one with the powers , after all\u2014but before long , she takes to her new career in ways that propel her into stardom and its usual trappings while at the same time separating her from her beloved sister . as for kate , she goes off with andre to an institute for the paranormal that he believes will help him recreate the earlier seance and film a genuine spirit with the aid of a collection of bizarre machinery straight out of a ken russell movie . andre plunges so much money into pursuing this obsession that his entire company teeters on the edge of bankruptcy . while all of this is going of , of course , the winds of war are beginning to blow , bad news under any circumstances but especially bad for andre , who has a secret regarding his heritage that threatens everything .\nsome of your early films where made with the nikkatsu studio , japan ' s oldest film studio , and you had a much publicized falling out with them . can you discuss what they wanted with your work and why you didn ' t think you could compromise ?\ni ' m very familiar with that famous shot at the end of nosferatu . there ' s no direct relationship between barren illusion and nosferatu , but that kind of very simple , fundamental film technique i think can still have a very powerful effect if you use it intelligently .\ncait carvalho is an experimental artist based in brooklyn . she tinkers in analog forms of media making , as well as the latest digital techniques . she has created hand -

line , which i completely ignored . instead , i choose to portray a university that was best with various factions who were in - fighting amongst themselves . the studio decided that my film didn ' t qualify as romance porno and decided that they weren ' t going to release it . i said , in that case , let me buy it and release it myself . that was the end of that .\nin japan even if you make a strictly entertainment film without any exploration of theme at all , a low budget is around us $ 200 . 000 or 300 , 000 and a high is maybe 2 or 3 million . like i said , it ' s completely removed from hollywood levels .\nthe appearance of someone like yakusho -

( reviews from someone involved in the production ? ) it has a few lackluster moments , and it tries , but ultimately fails . mostly because scenes that are supposed to be set in the dark seem to have as much ambient light as your average daytime soap opera . and the slow fade effects of the ghosts are more cheesy than spooky . the actors playing the students all are very good , with a . j . lamas a notable standout . kandis erickson is also a more than capable lead . bridget shergalis is a good silent ghost . unfortunately the ghostly whistling maintenance man killer is about as scary as a carton of oatmeal . ( i . e . not at all scary . maybe partly due to the overstrong lighting and sometimes laughable fade effects . ) this film could have been so much more if only better choices had been made in respect to lighting and special effects .\nloft is completed , but it hasn ' t been released in japan yet . i think they are exploring the possibility of an early release next year , and it may be possible that it finds its way into a film festival abroad in 2006 . i can ' t tell you much about the story at this time , but what i ended up making is kind of a strange love story with many horror elements . that ' s the film i wanted to make , but that ' s a bit of a hard sell in the japanese market . apparently , i should have made a less unambiguous love story or a more ambiguous horror . we ' re struggling a bit to find the appropriate release .\nit ' s actually more like three films a year . i ' m just a very fast filmmaker . i usually take about two to four weeks to shoot a feature . also , there ' s not a lot of money for filmmaking in japan , so if you only make one film a year , it ' s very difficult to stay alive .\nyes , it certainly is a detective story , but it ' s also a sort of american - style indiana jones / two - teams - vying - for - a - treasure film . that ' s how i started it . but instead of a box of treasure i decided to make the treasure a tree that ' s in a forest . then you start to imagine\nwhat value does the tree have\nand\nwhat is the condition of the forest it ' s growing in ?\n. then you start to realise that you ' re not making an indiana jones movie at all , but you ' re making a much more complex film . that ' s the process of my filmmaking .\nto put dear johnny ' s soul to rest , the girls go to the cemetery to perform another seance . johnny ' s tombstone suddenly rises surrounded by bright light . a figure appears from behind , but it is only the groundskeeper who explains that the stone was damaged and is being replaced . the groundskeeper explains he was the one who cracked the tombstone . realizing they never resurrected dear johnny , they agree to stop the seances . while leaving , they notice crazy pete , and samantha follows him back to dear johnny ' s grave . realizing that he is dear johnny ' s father , she comforts him , while he advises her not to dwell on things . some time after , the tree house is finally bought , and samantha narrates ,\nthe tree house was supposed to bring us more independence . but what the summer actually brought was independence from each other .\nnext , s\u00e9ance organises film - related events \u2014festivals , special screenings , lectures , conferences etc . \u2014in saint petersburg and other russian cities . we have run several retrospectives , starting with the highly successful stanley kubrick festival attended by jan harlan ; the latest one was the retrospective of roy andersson who presented his latest film pigeon sat on a branch reflecting on existence in person . our most important project in 2015 so far was the first balabanov conference \u2014an academic forum on aleksei balabanov accompanied by a series of screenings , a contemporary art exhibition , and even a guided tour . the conference\u2019s events were held in saint petersburg and moscow ; they involved a large number of notable critics , theorists , artists and filmmakers from russia and abroad and received a huge feedback .\nthe film was co - written and directed by rebecca zlutowski and the opening scenes are intriguing as we are introduced to the two sisters and their bond and observe kate\u2019s otherworldly abilities and laura\u2019s tentative first steps into the french film industry at a time when it was beginning to change to catch up with what was going on in the states . before long , however , the narrative devolves into a series of subplots that , with one exception , do not work on their own , and which never pull together into a satisfying whole . laura\u2019s adventures , which include a romantic entanglement or two , are profoundly uninteresting and never address her feelings about her separation from kate . the war element doesn\u2019t really come off either and just appears to have been tossed in at random to lend the story more dramatic heft . ( we even get a moment where everyone at a garden party stops to sing an inspirational rendition of \u201cla marseillaise . \u201d ) the most interesting stuff involves kate and andre and all the strange gadgets employed to hopefully put a ghost on film but it winds up getting the short shrift to make room for the more conventionally melodramatic moments .\nhome vision has recently released two of your films in the united states , s\u00e9ance ( korei ) and charisma ( karisuma ) , and i ' d like to talk a little bit about s\u00e9ance . s\u00e9ance on a wet afternoon was originally adapted into a film in 1964 in the u . k . what was your interest in working with the subject matter ? what ' s the evolution of s\u00e9ance ?\nthe yakuza films were more or less around us $ 300 , 000 to 400 , 000 a piece . charisma had twice that , about us $ 800 , 000 . barren illusion was very low , about us $ 200 , 000 . my latest film pulse took a lot of money - well compared to hollywood movies it ' s nothing , but still it ' s twice the budget of cure .\nit was filmed largely in the country walk subdivision off coffee bluff road in savannah , georgia , although called shelby , indiana in the movie , using the gaslight addition and old town cemetery , highlighting the downtown area . additional filming was done in statesboro , georgia in locations including the bulloch county court house ( also featured in the film 1969 and the building now housing the averitt center for the arts .\none of the big differences between american filmmakers and japanese filmmakers is the quantity of work , while being able to maintain a high level of quality . why is it that so many japanese filmmakers are so prolific - you yourself make two or three films a year - while in the u . s . we ' re lucky if the good filmmakers can make a good film once every two or three years ?\nfundamentally , the use of metaphor and allegory in horror is nothing new ; an exhaustive number of critiques and analyses have been written at length about this . in kurosawa ' s case , by weaving the violent horror threads with social commentary , the audience gets a thrilling and chilling ride that leaves us pondering the larger implications of his stories . kurosawa ' s 2000 made - for - tv film s\u00e9ance is a prime example of this .\nit ' s true that whenever i make a film , i ' m interested in the thematic issues , but basically , as we know , if you ' re going to make a film that going to be commercially released , there a time limit , somewhere between 100 and 120 minutes that defines the form of expression called films . in order to tell the story within that set time frame , i really do like to rely on the strength of genre . i think if you just make movies set to convey a certain theme , they have a tendency to get a little too long . the truth is that it had a ten year gestation period from writing the script to shooting the movie , so i had a lot of time for all kinds of confusion and doubt to fester . charisma is an extreme case where genre and theme are put together in a hodge - podge fashion .\ni took some of his film classes in college and was really affected by them . what he taught me was how to watch films , how to perceive them , not how to make them . how to make them is very much self - taught . the core of what he taught me is that films aren ' t just about entertainment , but films are so vital and exciting that they are worth spending your whole life exploring and examining .\nand that ' s it . no explanation of what it is or why it has occurred . but this moment is something that is rooted in good background research on paranormal phenomena : purportedly , room temperature drops dramatically where there is a paranormal event . i didn ' t know this while watching the film , but i found the visual striking . it seemed to be an elegant touch of there literally being something mysterious ' in the air . '\ni didn ' t come to a clear conclusion myself in the film , but i ' m certainly happy to have you take that interpretation . it ' s not far from my own . i would like to say that accepting life as it is , is not a weak or a pressured or a pessimistic thing . i think it ' s quite the opposite . it ' s a strong , aggressive , positive stance that can sometimes include elements of violence .\nnow and then is a 1995 american coming - of - age film directed by lesli linka glatter and starring christina ricci , rosie o ' donnell , thora birch , melanie griffith , gaby hoffmann , demi moore , ashleigh aston moore ( no relation to demi ) , and rita wilson . the supporting cast features hank azaria , janeane garofalo , cloris leachman , and bonnie hunt , among many others . the plot follows four women who recount a pivotal summer they shared together as adolescents in 1970 .\nit ' s hard to feel detached while watching this film . on the one hand , the fact that junko represents such a helpless minority who is not only marginalized but basically is mocked by society makes us immediately sympathize with her . in an allegorical sense , it is about any people who have ever been maligned by society and denied any chance to clear their name and prove themselves . they live behind the stamp of stereotype and any efforts made to improve , merely exacerbates the situation and the existing stigma .\none of the major themes of my films is individual life in the metropolis called tokyo . i ' m not sure how this plays out in the u . s . , but what we have in tokyo is individual human beings living completely cut off from traditional , regional communities that had supported them in the past . the theme is that of a human being , isolated amidst a huge aggregation of people and information systems , but the individual remains entirely entirely alone within this metropolis . cure is the film that most clearly illustrates this theme .\nit was a very precious and special time for me . it was my first exposure to the international film community , but it was a time that i realized how completely different japanese and american movie making systems are . in a way , part of the result of being exposed to sundance was that some part of me thought ,\nwell , maybe if the americans like it , i can make charisma in the united states .\nbut actually , being at sundance made me resolve that i must make this film in japan . my understanding of american cinema is that the protagonist must be taking actions towards a clearly defined goal . in my screenplay , there are many moments where my protagonist has no goal . he is just existing . many of the americans there kept bothering me , kept saying ,\nwhat ' s going on with this character now ? what ' s his intent ? what ' s his motive ?\nand i would have to say ,\nhe doesn ' t have any intent . he ' s just being .\nthey found that very strange and odd .\ncertainly mainstream audiences want the slasher killer . that ' s what they and the people who produce these films want , because it will make them jump . when a preview audience sees a horror movie , there are people that actually count how many times an audience does physically jump , and that is an indication of how effective a film is . that moment of adrenaline is actually being quantified to show how scary a film is , but your films are much more complex than that . for example , in america , when we have a theme of evil technology , the technology itself has to be given human qualities . a computer is given the ability to learn to think and kill on its own , or some monstrosity that we ' ve created to benefit us will somehow turn on us . in your films , you use technology as a tool which human use for evil needs or the dependence of technology is a symptom of a much larger problem , like in pulse , where the internet is a piece of technology that is isolating us from one another . can you comment on this difference ?\nthat ' s a theme that ' s in a lot of your films , where your main character is like a blank slate where he has no ultimate goal , and he can become an analogy for change or whatever theme you want to comment on , and by the end of the film , how ' s he ' s changed is the ultimate comment of how an individual ' s actions affect the whole of society . because the character is a blank slate , we can see the evolution of why the character becomes who they become . it ' s a very effective technique .\nfinally , i want to draw attention to what is turning out to be a defining kiyoshi kurosawa film trait - perhaps , this is what my friend was implying with his answer to my initial ' respected director ' question ? kurosawa repeatedly focuses great attention on the unique and subtle ( understated ? ) moments in his films . he rarely forces a moment and confidently allows his situations to unfold at their own pace , using his precisely placed edits to reveal information . ( ironically , i feel that this is in direct contrast to his favorite directors ' films . ) here ' s an example :\nit makes me very happy to hear someone from the united states say that they find my film very scary , but , at the same time , it feels a little strange because the ghost in pulse does almost nothing . it ' s basically an inactive ghost . to me , i find a ghost who does nothing terrifying , but my understanding of many american scary films such as alien or films about pathological killers is that what considered scary in the states is something that attacks us . the ghost in pulse doesn ' t really do that . for me , that seems a natural object of fear .\ndavid hall produces / writes / directs films , music videos , and live visuals for bands . through his former company handshake inc . , hall worked with today is the day , wolves in the throne room , brutal truth , portal , agoraphobic nosebleed , melvins , misery index , dragged into sunlight , pig destroyer and many other underground / extreme metal bands . he is currently in post production on his first feature film \u201cthe church of the red candle , \u201d a dark , psychiatric love story featuring an original soundtrack by luc lemay , and is currently in production on \u201cgod of thunder : the billy anderson story\u201d about legendary engineer / producer billy anderson .\nthe weinstein brothers have had a remake of pulse in the works for some time now . there was even a point where there were some rumors you may direct the film , but wes craven came aboard , and you stepped aside . now , the project looks like its back on with a new director and a young , hip cast . you had mentioned earlier during your trip to sundance that you thought your storytelling was incompatible with american moviemaking , but we ' ve had some recent success , at least box - office wise , with american remakes of ringu and the grudge , and even hideo nakata directed the sequel to the american ring . do you think the situation has changed ?\ni don ' t know if i feel influence from that particular experience now , but at the time i was certainly considered kind of a dangerous character within the studio system , kind of a persona - non - grata that couldn ' t be relied upon to deliver what they wanted . at the same time there were young people and critics who supported my idiosyncratic approach to filmmaking who really appreciated my work . at this point it ' s hard to say whether it was a good experience or bad experience , but the way i like to think of my self is that i somehow bridge the distance between a creative filmmaker and a craftsperson who can deliver a commercial film . i like to think of myself as somewhere in between those two ."]}

) . and there\u2019s nothing erotic about \u201c3d sex and zen . \u201d\nsex and zen 3d : extreme ecstasy is an elaborate costume drama with loads of sex and a plot knottier than a fallen ball of yarn . most definitely , the easily offended better head for the hills , although the film is more soft - core phony than graphic x . audiences are spared penetration shots or real genitalia , although phony penises , many in startling iterations , abound , as do some flashes of female pubic hair . the 3d is merely one more of the film ' s visual extravagances , but viewers beware : some pretty weird stuff springs forward . as the asian film industry and their western partners contemplate how the west can be won , new china lion is wisely focusing for now on reaching filmgoers of chinese heritage in north america . with sex and zen , available to theatres in both 3d and traditional 2d formats , the initiative is trying for an edgier crowd that goes for things alternative .\nmore sex & zen sequels followed : another one from wong jing in 1998 , and a retrospectively - retitled \u2018early years\u2019 prequel made four years before the original . by the turn of the century , it was assumed that the series was spent . but that would be to ignore the viagra - like powers of the third dimension , as in 2011 sex & zen : extreme ecstasy was hyped up by its opportunistic producers as \u201cthe world\u2019s first 3d erotic movie\u201d . i suspect the equally opportunistic producers of the stewardesses would take issue with that , particularly as they made their film in 1969 . and other people might take issue with the word \u2018erotic\u2019 .\n( 1987 ) and numerous imitators about a battle with a sex - changing sorcerer . while such a story might have been okay on its own , as a sequel to the sublime\nthe soft - porn movie \u201c3 - d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy\u201d pulled in 13 . 1 million hong kong dollars ( us $ 1 . 7 million ) on its opening weekend in hong kong , topping the box - office chart for the four - day period ending sunday , according to the local motion picture industry association .\n3d sex and zen is a movie that has to be seen on the big screen and the alamo drafthouse \u2013 mason park is the only place you\u2019re going to be able to do that in houston . don\u2019t miss this film\u2019s limited engagement on the big screen . tickets are available to purchase now . ( due to the graphic nature of the content , no one under 18 years old will be admitted . )\nthe success of the first sex & zen more or less assured a sequel , but it would be five years before sex & zen ii hit the screens . there\u2019s no real connection to the first film : we have a new director ( chin man kei ) , an almost entirely new cast , and a worrying name suddenly appearing in the producer credits . wong jing is one of the most notorious hacks in hong kong cinema : for the last three decades or so , he\u2019s been using the hot cinematic trend of the day as the basis for a series of slapdash spoof movies with terrible jokes . which is sort of what he\u2019s done here , but in a good way .\nthe film , which reportedly heated up box office in asia , australia and new zealand but was banned in mainland china , is certainly edgy\u2014there are lots of orgies , loads of breasts bared , frequent couplings assuming a variety of positions and sex acts , girl - on - girl action , s & m , icky forms of torture , outrageous sex toys and other paraphernalia , creepy castrations and weird penis enhancement operations , etc . at the very least , no filmgoer who braves this journey will be left high and dry : if the body doesn\u2019t tingle ( in spite of so many loud moans and bumping sounds ) , at least minds boggle .\ngranted , 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy is streets ahead of the other two films in technical terms \u2013 it\u2019s glossily shot , and its subtitles are in something approaching grammatical english , even if they are a bit small .

core pornographic movie . as a drama , it has paper - thin and inconsistent characters . that the main character and his wife suddenly miss each other is totally without substance . as a result , it fails to touch some members of the audience and the delivery of the message becomes very weak . on the whole , it is a cult movie mixing pornography , foul language , jokes , romance , gore and action . however , it falls between two stools . you are advised not to take the plot seriously and expect any hard - core images , or you may be disappointed . a similar korean movie , a frozen flower , is highly recommended .\nhey , it ' s no masterpiece . it is what it is : soft - core eroticism . but on that basis , it succeeds , which is why i am giving it three stars . all criticism is subjective , all star ratings are relative , and if you have read this far you want to know if\nsex and zen\nis a superior example of its genre . it is . if there is the slightest doubt , stay around for the closing credits , which begin with gigantic block letters reading :\nrecommended by penthouse .\nthe possibilities for additional recommendations in other kinds of movies are tantalizing .\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\na collection of hilarious essays for the baby boomer generation . like humor and an in -

new generation era and had nothing to do with the novel of the same name , nor did it have much of anything to do with the original robotech ii : the sentinels property outside of a few side references .\nthe \u201csentinels\u201d animation is bittersweet , for sure . that small sample of what might\u2019ve been .\nrobotech ii : the sentinels was originally planned to be a cartoon series on television , but that production was never fully realized . harmony gold , the owners of robotech , decided to have the sentinels produced as a comic book series instead . eternity comics , a division of malibu graphics , purchased the rights where it was adapted by editor - in - chief chris ulm and creative director tom mason .\nrobotech ii : the sentinels is the black and white comic book adaptation of the failed film of the same name , and the longest - running robotech spinoff to date . artists jason and john waltrip adapted the original jack mckinney novels into comic books , though they diverged from the novels as the story progressed . the sentinels comics were originally published by eternity comics , then academy comics . the storyline abruptly ended when academy was unable to renew their license with the rights holders . the comics license passed to antarctic press in the late 90 ' s , who published the sentinels : rubicon , which draws its name from the title of the fifth sentinels novel . however , the rubicon comic , instead of completing the sentinels story , is set years after the end of the sentinels campaign , and was not illustrated by the waltrips . it was not popular with fans , due to the poor artwork and the lack of connection to the sentinels . it was cancelled after only two issues .\nit\u2019s agred that we need somthing to fill the gaps in robotech , much as i loved sentinels the problems with it ae fare too great .\nthis one is obvious , with studio nue spending much more money on animation style than sentinels . however this may have been fauted by the financial isues that plagued the production of sentinels .\nsentinels featured bizarre aliens , including big -

hanger ending .\ncore books one through five covered the three segments of robotech as aired ; robotech ii covered the sentinels pilot movie and the source material that never ended up being developed . book six and lancer ' s rockers took place after the series ended , and books seven , eight , and the rest of the adventure books took place during or shortly after the macross segment .\nend of the circle is a new story designed to tie up all the loose ends in the robotech universe post -

1 , sentinels had all of the surviving characters , a story that connects directly to the original macross series , and even has characters and story elements from macross and next generation\u2026\nas the robotech expeditionary force prepares to confront the robotech masters at their home planet , the invid are already ravaging it .\nthe sentinels rpg also diverged in some respects from the story covered in the sentinels novels and comic books , having been developed independently based on the same incomplete source material provided by harmony gold . the two primary differences are the idea that the sdf - 3 left with an entire fleet of ref ships accompanying them , and that the ref and the sentinels joined in a protracted war against the invid regent . the game also suggested that members of the sentinels ' races would openly join the ref .\nto get the story produced , harmony gold went over to japan and started planning robotech ii . this was before macross ii and macross plus was ever even planned . as a result , the series was produced in secret in japan . if word got out that robotech ii was a sequel to sdf : macross , the japanese fans of macross would be tickled . pink . however , we will never know the real reason why the project flopped after 3 episodes were made . carl blamed it on the dollar , but i wonder what the japanese would say ?\nthe rest will have to be done by the fans , as hg has no intention of bringing back the sentinels series .\nhowever , it has been stated by the staff ( steve , tommy , etc ) that robotech ii : the sentinels is no longer canon . they didnt assign it to an alternate universe status , they just removed it completely from the canon ( actually , technically , they use the words \u201csecondary continuity\u201d in the sentinels faq section . however , this was done mostly because the basic premise remained\u2026that the sdf - 3 left on the pioneer mission for the rm homeworld , but aside from that fact , nothing of the sentinels story is applicable in their view ) .\nfor the fool who said let sentinels die ( thele ) shut your trap ! ! ! ! i\u2019m sick of the idiots who hate sentinels . forget them ! ! ! ! if they truly understood robotech they would know that if the sentinels ( and possibly the oddyssey saga ) were completed ( according to carl macek\u2019s original vision ) there probably wouldn\u2019t be these continuity problems .\npalladium books , which had produced a table -

thought - out story that will make us all forget about the sentinels . that , of course , remains to be seen\u2026\nbut , then again , it wasn\u2019t really a stand alone project . about the only thing that was better about sentinels was the voice acting , and the lack of hairdressers .\nadditionally , elements from the movie were used in the plot of the robotech novel # 20 : the masters ' gambit .\nshortly after robotech 3000 was shelved , a new influx of employees attempted to restart the robotech franchise by actively reaching out to fans through an official robotech websites , seemingly the first time harmony gold had given a shit about fans since the late 1980s .\nshortly after the release of the album , fans offered a great deal of favorable comments and constructive criticism . some felt that there should have been more vocal tracks from the robotech characters lynn minmei and yellow dancer . others did not understand the significance of the sentinels medley and how it fit into the robotech universe ( the robotech sequel , the sentinels , is now available on home video [ editors note : they mean the one tape . ] ) .\ntogether\n, the wedding song of rick and lisa , was such a moving composition to some fans that they played it during their own wedding ceremonies . mark\n: much of the sentinels and robotech movie & book canon was retconned out of existence by this movie , although several of its elements were incorporated into it . to be clear , the haydonites and getting a huge fleet are evidence that\nthe sentinels ' s story is continued in numerous comics and novels that were based on unused but finished scripts made for the series . however , after the storyline was rebooted , the novels were removed from continuity \u2014 the comic being continued on into robotech : prelude to the shadow chronicles .\nthere are no actual film masters on 16mm for the sentinels ( at least not the sentinels as we know it ) . yes the footage was shot in japan by tatsunoko on 16mm , but when the reels were delivered to hg , macek and his team realised that the \u201csyntax of the film did not take full advantage of the footage\u201d ( maceks words from art 3 ) .\nhands down , macross ii . aside from the people big west employed to animate the feature , they also enlisted roughly 75 % of the people from macross dyrl ? to do the concept art work , and illustrational work ( hence the looks of the mardook tech to atlita ) .\noptera - birthplace of the flower of life and its agents of retribution , the invid - was to be the site of the final confrontation between the sentinels and edwards and his invid allies . edwards , with lynn - minmei prisoner and a handful of invid inorganics under his control , had fled tirol for the distant planet . breetai ' s zentraedi were headed there as well - and so were the renegade forces of tesla , mutated by the fruits of the flower . the sentinels themselves were not far behind . . . and it was a battle the sentinels had to win !\nlater the robotech defense force announces their plans to form the robotech expeditionary force for the pioneer expedition in order to travel to the robotech masters ' s homeworld tirol to avoid a second robotech war on earth , leaving the charge of the defense of earth to anatole leonard ' s army of the southern cross , leonard complains about the expeditionary force taking all the available robotech weaponry to the mission as col . edwards watches the press conference from the tv smiling , later leonard complains in his office with rolf emerson about the expeditionary force taking the entire robotech weaponry to a\ndiplomatic\nmission , leaving earth vulnerable to an alien invasion .\nregardless of what some say , the sentinels is a great continuation to the robotech tv series . from rem and cabel ' s robotechnology / protoculture discussion ' s , to rick and lisa ' s wedding and the final battle on tirol between the regent ' s forces and the remaining bioroids . the sentinels movie remains to me a great start to the series that should have been . ( thank god for the novels and comics ) i still continually watch this film as much as the rest of the series . i find this and the robotech masters the best parts of robotech . i hope harmony gold will at some point finish it with a bunch of ova movies like the upcoming shadow chronicles .\nsubverted with the robotech elders who are said to be the original inhabitant of the planet tirol as they looked ancient .\ngunther reinhardt was the lavender haired commander of the returning expedition . he is seen again in robotech the shadow chronicles .\nalong with ben dunn ' s ninja high school , the sentinels became one of the flagship titles of malibu comics ' eternity imprint . early on the story remained quite faithful to the original tv scripts , a fact that outsiders can tell only because eternity published two books containing the first eight scripts in 1991 & 1992 , but also included all - new ideas from mason and ulm . however , by the beginning of sentinels book ii in mid - 1990 , the comic book series had veered more towards the course of the novels - - whether this was due to a lack of access to the remainder of the original tv series material , a desire to present a unified sentinels front , or due to fan demand , nobody ' s ever said . still , as the story progressed all - new elements still slipped in , including an entire new subplot revolving around an underground movement within the ref , featuring brand - new characters , at the start of sentinels book iii in mid - 1993 .\nnorth american television debut : robotech originally aired in 1985 in first - run syndication , meaning it was sold directly to local television stations without having been run on a network first\u2014this was part of a trend in animation in the 1980s . previously , local stations would rerun theatrical cartoons like looney tunes or shows that had previously aired on network tv on saturday mornings . this changed after he - man and the masters of the universe introduced a new economic model : shows sold directly for first - run to stations , driving and funded by sales of related toys . [ 5 ] though the original robotech series did well in ratings , the attempt to cash in on toys may have doomed robotech ii : the sentinels as the original series attracted older viewers , not necessarily the children targeted by the toy line . the failure of the matchbox toy line is cited as a primary reason for the cancellation of the sentinels series .\nrobotech : the movie was an attempt by carl macek to adapt megazone 23 : part one for the american market , in cooperation with cannon films . robotech : the movie , also called robotech : the untold story , was a 1986 american - japanese science fiction animated film based on the robotech tv series and robotech franchise . the 1986 theatrical film used footage from part one of megazone 23 spliced with super dimensional cavalry southern cross and had only a tenuous link to the television series .\n\u201cif we are to avoid a second robotech war we must make peaceful contact with the robotech masters and establish a relationship of mutual cooperation . that is the mission of the sdf - 3 . \u201d\n. . . . i think some of what made robotech great was its asian style animation , and sentinels had too much american influences . it kinda atered down the imagery , especially the backgrounds . ( some of them looked actually scooby doo - ish )\none degree of separation : several of the new characters are family members of characters from the original robotech .\nthe series continues in the masters ( \u201cthe second robotech war\u201d ) , adapted from 1984\u2019s japanese series the super dimension cavalry southern cross and the new generation ( \u201cthe third robotech war\u201d ) , adapted from 1983\u2019s japanese series genesis climber mospeada , both of which ( with the rewrites and american actor\u2019s dubbing ) carry the robotech storyline forward to an exciting end .\ncomic book version of the robotech sentinels cartoon series , a sequel to the robotech macross series , that was planned but never fully made . in this issue , as rick hunter struggles with the weight of command , minmei appears and on the robotech masters ' homeworld , the lord regent invid ' s plans to obtain the secrets of the protoculture matrix are not going well in\nthe inorganics .\nscript by tom mason & chris ulm and art by jason waltrip . cover price $ 1 . 95 ."]}

or is that what gives the film so much of its charm ?\nthe world ' s greatest sinner is the story of the mysterious transformation of insurance salesman clarence hilliard into a\nrockabilly messiah .\nclarence quits his job , changes his name to god , and exhorts his followers to become\nsuperhuman beings ,\nworking the crowds at his pep rallies into a frenzy ! urged on by a sinister image - maker , god hilliard parlays his rock stardom into a career in national politics , founding the superhuman being party . his followers wear jet - black uniforms with god ' s name inscribed on their arm bands . at this point , sinner becomes a souped - up , low - budget version of all the king ' s men ( 1949 ) , a fictionalized account of the rise and fall of louisiana governor huey long .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ndirected by romeo carey , i fear that carey ' s son may be too close to the project when it comes to presenting a complete portrait of his father . instead of being behind the camera , the eloquent romeo would be better in front of the lens , relating the untold tales of his father ' s passion and wild life . as it stands , the rough cut of making sinner was a rather disjointed assembly of a handful of interviews and abrupt clips punctuated with stock photos . i ' m not sure if these pictures were meant to be funny but i couldn ' t help but laugh when something mentioned by an interviewee always came accompanied by a loosely - related image . someone would say\njesus\nand we ' d see\njesus\n. or , a rather happy latino fellow wearing a sombrero appeared whenever mexico was mentioned .\n. he wanted to combine religion and politics in a film and do something a little different about a self - made type of person who becomes a big celebrity . he had a production book . i wonder if it ' s still around . it explains the plot in quite a lot of detail .\nabove , top : carey ( left ) co - starred with sterling hayden in stanley kubrick ' s the killing ( 1956 ) . center : in one eyed jacks ( 1961 ) , carey was directed by another distinctive actor , marlon brando . bottom : one of his most memorable roles was as the doomed private maurice ferol ( with emile meyer ) in stanley kubrick ' s masterpiece paths of glory ( 1957 ) .\ni have a big crush on 1970s sissy spacek . she had the amazing ability to look strange , average , and beautiful simultaneously . if there ' s a certain wildness that ' s missing from her features now , she is still a great actress . she has enormous range and a completely unpretentious way of inhabiting her characters . she deserves as much , if not more , of the accolades showered on meryl streep .\nsteve allen : and a partridge in a pear tree . well that ' s a very interesting uh , inventory .\nyou won ' t believe his performances . he just starts shaking and his hair falls down . . . he must have watched jerry lee lewis or something . he starts rolling around on the stage , he ' s just shaking all over . it ' s a live performance and he ' s just smashing his guitar , he ' s really beating on it real loud . this is one of the greatest rockabilliy movies ever made . if you get a chance to see it , it ' ll just change your life . wow !\n( lux interior )\nthe concert performances that carey unleashes in sinner are genuinely exciting . goateed and with dangling oil - slicked hair , carey looks great and has the rock gyrations down pat ;

sation with sterling hayden on a location shoot for the killing .\ni started playing drums when i was 14 years old [ . . . ] . i also worked [ . . . ] with frank zappa on his 1963 film score for\nthe world ' s greatest sinner\nwhich starred cult actor and director timothy carey .\nwas 20 years ahead of its time . the religious aspect upset the studio heads . people who could have advanced the film were anxious , because they thought the public would condemn it as blasphemous , although i don ' t think\nof course , these scenes pale in comparison to the scene where he seduces a 70 year - old widow for her cash , and the final , climactic\nmiracle\n. trust me , you have to go see this flick .\nit ' s about a guy who decides to form a religion . he calls himself god and gathers all these followers . then one night , he wonders whether or not he really is god . so in order to check himself out , he breaks into a supposedly catholic church , steals a communion wafer , runs home and sticks a pin in it to see if it ' ll bleed . it leaves a trail of blood all the way across the lawn and he repents and . . . oh , it was stupidity .\nmaking sinner demonstrates the need for the definitive documentary of timothy carey . this needs to happen soon , while people that worked with him are still alive . in making sinner the interviews with carey ' s youngest brother and ray dennis steckler are great , yes , but a carey doc needs interviews with people like peter falk , bob rafelson , robert blake , and ben gazarra ( to name a few ) . as it stands , making sinner is an ambitious idea that isn ' t quite ambitious enough in its scope ( and not cohesive in its presentation ) .\nzappa studied music and art at chaffey college . he wrote the score for the world ' s greatest sinner , a low - budget tale about a sacrilegious imposter who repents . sinner had its premiere at vista - continental theater , hollywood , and opened wednesday [ march 20 , 1963 ] at the ken theater , san diego .\nmy personal opinion is that sinner is very unusual ,\nbarreto observes .\nnobody else but tim would have dared to make a movie like that . very controversial , especially when tim pierces the host ( to make god cry out in pain and reveal himself ) . tim ' s acting was good , but it was very strange .\nat the premi\u00e8re at the vista - continental theater in hollywood on 30 january 1963 , carey , ever the showman , appeared in his silver lam\u00e9 preacher suit with god stitched on the sleeves and got the evening off to an exciting start by firing a . 38 over the heads of the audience .\nin the summer and fall of 1961 . i was interested in film work then . i had gone to nyu graduate school in communications . timmy was doing that film and i decided to leave new york for los angeles and see how things were in the film business . so off i went to california to work on\ni remember that day . timmy was positioning all the people . they were just local people who were acting in the scene . timmy had a few professional actors working on the picture with him , like the guy who played his campaign manager ( james farley ) and gil barreto ( who played clarence ' s disciple ) . i don ' t think anybody other than timmy had any significant credits , though .\nthe plot could politely be called\nepisodic\n, unraveling like a vaguely sinister acid trip , only you ' re laughing too hard to start clawing your eyeballs out . the soundtrack is by frank zappa ( billed in the credits as\nzappa\n) and it churns along like a forgotten garage rock band recorded in an echo - ey sewer\u2014and that ' s a compliment ! the scenes of hilliard performing in\nconcert\nmake the shaggs look like rush . the band basically bangs and crashes and farts out this proto - punk spew , then stops dead silent so hilliard can yawp ,\nplease , please please take my hand !\nthen the band starts up again , with hilliard doing this creepy / hilarious shimmy dance , jangling around in his weird silk blouse / shirt .\n. well , timmy never got to the phone . he stayed out there , brushing his horse . i don ' t know what that was all about . timmy was a little erratic at times . i think if timmy hadn ' t been quite so extreme in some of his efforts to get publicity for himself , he would have been in other kubrick pictures after\nit took fz 2 months to write 15 minutes of music for the soundtrack . the recording session took 11 hours with the pomona valley symphony . frank conducted and one mic was used . it was placed above the podium . aside from al sarratt [ surratt ] and myself , i don ' t remember who else played . maybe ronnie , but i can ' t be sure .\nwhile fz was writing the soundtrack , he would dip his pen in the ink and then wipe the excess off on his pant leg . he always wore the same pants , gray with thin black stripes . it ended up looking pretty cool . he told me that he cut out the section of pant leg with the ink on it and framed it and sold it for $ 500 .\ni think i may have written this sentence last night :\ni ' m not going to tell you how highly i value this movie , mostly because anything i recommend seems to underwhelm almost everybody else ( not because i ' m some kind of supercool movie hipster , mostly because i value plot and dollar bills so much less than most , much to my continually frustrating dismay ) .\n[ . . . ] the recording location listed isn ' t where he recorded , but there were probably multiple recordings going on . [ . . . ] he said he was probably part of that eight piece group , since he knows he was [ not ] in the chamber ensemble or the orchestra . [ . . . ] oh yes , the musicians in the film were different than the musicians on the soundtrack .\ntimmy could be a very dominant personality . he always wanted his own way . he took charge , told the actor how he wanted the role to be played . i would say timmy was a very strong type of director , fitting his personality . but he seemed to have a good relationship with the people who were acting for him and they seemed to be very happy to be doing the acting . timmy was definitely very charismatic . he was unique .\npoor and broke , never had no cash . everybody calls me poor white trash . live in the swamp all of my days . dip in the swamp for my pay . well the company man . he came my way . conpany man stole my gal away . poor white trash , not a nickle in my jeans . poor white trash , don ' t know what lovin means , poor white trash , never had no fun . poor white trash , ain ' t got no one . in the swamp i live . in the swamp i ' ll die . but poor white trash , no one will cry , no one will cry .\nsign up for a fanalert ! \u2122 and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nmore tickets = more points = more movies on us ! rack up vip + points for every ticket you buy to score streaming movies and discounts on tickets and movie gear .\nget your swag on with discounted movies to stream at home , exclusive movie gear , access to advanced screenings and discounts galore .\ncollect bonus rewards from our many partners , including amc , stubs , cinemark connections , regal crown club when you link accounts .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nalso sign me up for fanmail to get updates on all things movies : tickets , special offers , screenings + more .\nreceive a free * exclusive ' jurassic world : fallen kingdom ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nreceive a free * exclusive ' ant - man and the wasp ' poster with ticket purchase ( * shipping & handling not included ) . buy tickets\nguarantee the perfect movie night with tickets from fandango . find theater showtimes , watch trailers , read reviews and buy movie tickets in advance .\noverall , i ' m glad i saw it but it may take me a while to recover from it .\nwell done , mike . i was there for the mayhem that is / was tweets and have yet to find the words to capture the experience . thankfully you did .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nproduced by : timothy carey george e . carey ( assistant ) anthony m . lanza ( assistant ) george e . nahas ( assistant ) production : frenzy films world sales absolute films , 8383 wilshire boulevard # 360 , usa - beverly hills , ca 91733 , tel . : + 1 - 818 - 4426454 , fax : + 1 - 818 - 4426454\ncinematography by : frank grande ove h . sehested robert shelfow ray dennis steckler film editing : carl mahakian assistant director : gene koziol\nzappa writes musical commercials for tv and radio . they are recorded at pal studio , cucamonga .\nsteve allen : and who might that be ?

writer on her ex - boyfriend calvin harris\u2019s song , this is what you came for , a collaboration widely assumed to have contributed to their breakup . swift\u2019s writing credit was supposed to be kept secret , but when her team revealed that she had , in fact , written the harris -

laden career in an attempt to communicate a self - awareness that\u2019s mostly eluded her . the video is good fun , if a little bit mad ; it\u2019s certainly the most brazen and ambitious pop music video since beyonc\u00e9 dropped lemonade in the spring of last year , replete with pyrotechnics and dozens of costume changes . but it doesn\u2019t amount to much more than a succession of disconnected images . and if the images could talk , they might say , \u201ci know what you think of me\u201d , or , perhaps , in the words of joanne the scammer : \u201ci\u2019m a messy bitch who lives for drama . \u201d\ni love this chapter ! ! it ' s funny , sad , and everything of the above , btw , when i said sad , i meant about the very beginning when her dad was yelling . more of an anger moment , but ah well .\nas a child , shetterly visited her father ' s office at nasa , where he was a researcher .\nthere were always so many women . there were lots of women , a diverse group of women \u2014 women of all colors , women of all ages . some of the women there were my grandmother ' s age . but it never occurred to me to question why they were there ,\nshetterly told an audience at langley in 2014 .\nit wasn ' t until many years later that i left hampton and left langley and realized that that wasn ' t the way the world worked .\nwhen she was back in town visiting her parents , her father began pointing out women who had been mathematicians at langley . that became the seed of the book and the movie .\nawful , self -

snowstorms ? yep , it caught us all off guard . no one was prepared for ( or dressed for ) a freezing snowstorm in may . but we made the best of it , adjusted the schedule , covered the bride with an umbrella and wrapped her in a blanket whenever we could , and got some beautiful , snow - filled photos .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\na venus film productions . starring : van vicker , jackie appiah , kofi adjorlolo , kalsoume sinare , rama brew , gavivina tamakloe , yvonne nelson ; editor : dapo ola daniels ; assistant producer : ali samba ; producer : abdul salam mumuni ; executive producer : abdul salam mumuni ; director : frank rajah arase . 150 mins .\nthe princely cast of gollywood\u2019s finest really do an excellent performance here , to boot , and in fact this movie got me sold to gollywood movies . as you can see , i\u2019ve been all about nollywood , but since i discovered\n. with its fairy tale nature , this movie will take you to a fairyland where stories like cinderella may seem a joke .\nin the middle of it all is a common maid , maafia ( jackie appiah ) who massages the prince\u2019s feet in a rite once and later in a queer bathroom incident , falls under the romantic radar of the prince . we did not see the two ( prince and maid ) mate , but not long after the maid\u2019s mother dies of asthma attack , maafia leaves ilugbo kingdom in search of prince kay to report her pregnancy to him but instead meets the prince\u2019s mother , the queen , and reports her pregnancy . the queen doesn\u2019t handle this news well .\nthe story gets sticky when writer employs another plot and character , ashley to merely resemble maafia and gets ashley pregnant by the prince , and both by bizzare plot twist , meet side by side in a hospital . camera and edit can pull all kinds of tricks but this maafia look alike coming into the story sure put a damper and unbelievable feeling to the story . i marvel the fact that writer created a three dimensional character for jackie appiah\u2019s role ( maid , ashley , maafia ) , only that in narrating such a wonderful fairy tale , story and character have to be linear in nature , or not even cinderella could have survived as a timeless tale with such muddled plots . prince kay would have gone on pulling all the stops to get to his one and only cinderella , rather than easily fall for a look alike and gets her pregnant too .\nali salamy baylay is a resident of charlotte , north carolina . presently , i ' m a transportation contractor to the department of social services in charlotte . i have a certificate in radio and television broadcasting and am the owner of nubia films co . with one film in production . i ' m also the publisher of africanmoviestar . com , a web magazine which profiles and reports on african actors and reviews african films . ali is married to ophelia c . baylay and they have five children : kadie , venus , rashid , emilie - massa and ali , junior .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nwe do not collect your social information or post to your social account . you ' re in control .\nswitch banana island ghost ( b . i . g ) nothing but the truth mum , dad meet sam picture perfect\n- story : [ 4 out of 5 ] say what you may against the movie , you can not deny , however , that it was an interesting story .\n- predictability : [ 0 out of 5 ] if you\u2019ve ever seen an african movie in your lifetime then i guarantee that you can predict the ending of this movie .\n- acting quality : [ 2 out of 5 ] i got a very \u2018rigid\u2019 vibe from every other actor in this movie . many extras seemed very uncomfortable in the roles . in almost every other scene , i felt like yvonne nelson was reciting her lines . van vicker didn\u2019t half piss me off in this movie , he was actually a decent act . speaking of pissing off , o dear rama brew , if i had a stone in my hand and i was sitting on a stool whilst you were performing this ?

' who farted ? ' hahaha\nnice comedy . not the best de palma film , but i liked it .\nurltoken is led by a team of seasoned business pros who have many years of combined experience with funeral home and cemetery operations , as well as in - depth experience in other service industries . meet the wise guys\nthis gangster comedy was released during a cycle of hollywood movies during the 1980s that sent up gangster films . these movies included : prizzi ' s honor ( 1985 ) , wise guys ( 1986 ) , harlem nights ( 1989 ) , city heat ( 1984 ) , johnny dangerously ( 1984 ) , little miss marker ( 1980 ) , and dead men don ' t wear plaid ( 1982 ) .\ngoodfellas ( stylized as goodfellas ) is a 1990 american crime film directed by martin scorsese . it is an adaptation of the 1986 non - fiction book wiseguy by nicholas pileggi , who co - wrote the screenplay with scorsese . the film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate henry hill and his friends and family over a period from 1955 to 1980 .\nto some degree , the manic comedy of de palma\u2019s earlier works ( hi , mom ! , the wedding party ) never really manifested itself in his bigger - budget output . if one considers wise guys and the bonfire of the vanities the two closest examples of de palma doing comedy at a studio level , the results speak for themselves . that said , the sheer scope and ambition of vanities elevates that film above the middling atmosphere in which this film lives .\nwhen i decided to collect and purchase all thebrian de palma films i discovered one i had never heard of before ( well more than one but still ) . it was called wise guys and it stared the great danny de vito and the very underrated joe piscopo . i think saying i was excited to watch it was an understatement when it came to this film .\nthe film was never shown theatrically in the uk when first released , and went straight to video .\nokay , imagine if someone mixed a great film with atrocious humor , atrocious writing , atrocious camerawork , atrocious direction , and fully lazy film that clearly nobody worked on . mix all of that with billy wilder ' s film noir masterpiece double indemnity ( 1944 ) . then have the director not be able to finish the film , so let the actor choose a legendary director he ' s frequently worked with to finish it up .\nthank you ron for such an absorbing commentary which has escaped the awareness , understanding and the proper perspective for responding to the roots of the holocaust . absolutely stunning . i have to read more of the wise guys , and i also agree with dave . your thinking needs a larger audience .\nwith a budget of $ 100 million , it was and still is the most expensive project brian de palma has tackled . it\u2019s also the only straight - up piece of science fiction among his filmography , as well as a relatively wholesome , pg - rated affair \u2013 a rarity for this most salacious of mainstream american filmmakers . originally to be directed by gore verbinski ( fresh off his debut , mousehunt ) , it remains one of the true outliers in de palma\u2019s oeuvre ; you\u2019d have to go back to 1986\u2019s wise guys to single out a film that delivered less of what one had come to expect from the director .\nwhat was in the water in 1986 ! typically serious auteurs were getting down right whimsical - cassavetes with\nbig trouble\n, de palma with\nwise guys\n, polanski with\npirates\n, john carpenter with\nbig trouble in little china\nand francis ford coppola with\npeggy sue got married\n. it ' s like abrahams , zucker & zucker directing\nau hasard balthazar\n. in most cases i imagine there wasn ' t too much laughter during the counting of the box office receipts .\nit\u2019s also important to note that wise guys opened ( along with the cult hit body double ) between two of de palma\u2019s most commercially successful movies : scarface and the untouchables . both are playful and playfully violent ; wise guys is never much of either . punches are being pulled , safe decisions being made . clever mafioso subversions ( moe and harry sometimes have to turn their bosses\u2019 cars on , just in case it\u2019s wired to explode ) , an easy chemistry between the leads and an impressive supporting cast , including patti lupone and a scene - chewing harvey keitel , never elevate an aggressively straightforward narrative .\nit ' s tempting to dismiss\nwise guys\nas a pointless , ill - advised forebear to\ndumb and dumber .\nbut even if only for an act , you sense de palma striving for more artful zaniness a la the marx brothers or a grimmer side of the ealing comedy spectrum .\nmade on a budget of $ 25 million , goodfellas grossed $ 46 . 8 million . it received positive reviews from critics and was nominated for six academy awards , including best picture and best director , with pesci winning best actor in a supporting role . the film won five awards from the british academy of film and television arts , including best film and best director . additionally , goodfellas was named the year ' s best film by various critics ' groups .\nin 1999 , devito produced and co - starred in man on the moon , a film about the unusual life of his former taxi co - star , andy kaufman , who was played in the film by jim carrey . devito also produced the comedy central series reno 911 ! , as well as the film spin off reno 911 ! : miami .\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 .\nthere were other filmmakers that inspired me , who showed me how to work with the film form in the way in which they executed a scene or accomplished a shot . but it was kubrick that showed me how the film worked as a whole .\nan offbeat , episodic film about three friends , paul , a shy love - seeker , lloyd , a vibrant conspiracy nut , and jon , an aspiring filmmaker and peeping tom . the film satirizes free - love , the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nin 2012 , devito was in the animated film the lorax , as the lorax , the tree - loving guardian of the forest .\nthere may be an explanation for the lack of creativity and verve here . speaking with fandango a few years back , de palma briefly touched on the difficulties of making the film : \u201c\u2026take a movie like wise guys . it\u2019s not one of my favorites because nobody at the studio ever liked it . it was given a go by one administration and they left , and then another administration came in . it was a bastard child that no one wanted anything to do with , so that was not a pleasant experience . but i liked working with danny devito so much that we managed to soldier through it . \u201d he doubled down on the take in an interview with business insider earlier this year : \u201cnow a movie i wish i hadn\u2019t done was wise guys \u2026 i should have just taken my money and walked instead of dealing with a studio that didn\u2019t want to make the movie . \u201d\nwise guys\nis an abundant movie , filled with ideas and gags and great characters . it never runs dry . it never has the desperation of so many gangster comedies , which seem to be marching over the same tired ground . this movie was made with joy , and you can feel it in the sense of all the actors working at the top of their form .\nwise guys is not owned by me nor do i have the rights to display it . however , i am not truly breaking copyrightinfringement laws with the short segment here . this is hilarious - this is the scene that shows what the lowest men on the mafia totem pole go through and what their jobs are . the jacket scene is funny , but the car scene guarantees that you will lyao !

' ' you should be putting guys like me in jail , ' ' harry tells him . moe ' s mother laments that she ' s the only member of the new jersey hadassah who lists her son ' s profession as ' ' hoodlum . ' ' there are enough italo - judeo family - and - food gags here to keep that restaurant in business indefinitely .\nthe thing about wise guys is that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually not that bad at all . since de palma is the heir to hitchcock , it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only fair that you relate this to mr . and mrs . smith . it just shows that he can do anything . he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not just a suspense storyteller , he can also show off his literal sense of humor . danny devito is hilarious and there is also a very funny performance by harvey keitel . it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not amazing , but probably better than most people give it credit for .\nthere are certain questions in life than will never be satisfactorily answered . is there life after death ? can we square the circle ? and how the hell could a director of brian de palma ' s caliber ever produce something so preposterous as\nwise guys\n? it ' s pretty hard to find words to describe how awful this\ncomedy\nis .\nschindler ' s list\nis a veritable laugh riot compared to this travesty . our two\nheroes\nare some of the most imbecilic and annoying characters ever\u2026\nthe film producers learned that danny devito might not make his shooting dates , because he was still shooting romancing the stone ( 1984 ) in mexico , and barely made it to the set in time .\nnow , one should not discount time as a factor . in the mid - 80s , a buddy comedy about two losers assigned to kill each other almost certainly was a fresher , more bankable concept than it is today . upon release , wise guys wasn\u2019t wholly dismissed , receiving positive notices from the likes of the new york times and roger ebert , and , for whatever it\u2019s worth , screenwriter george gallo would follow this picture with midnight run , a near - perfect on - the - run buddy comedy that\u2019s only shined brighter with time .\ntwo not - so - bright guys ( an italian - american and a jew ) are doing errands for a big - shot newark mafia boss . one day they see a chance to rip off their boss but instead they lose 250 thousand dollars and find themselves on the run .\nin the scene where tommy ( griffin dunne ) is in the hospital room in a full body cast , the hospital loudspeaker pages for\ndr . michael hertzberg\n. michael hertzberg is one of the film ' s producers .\nnevertheless , in the ensuing years wiesel began speaking out on behalf of human rights causes around the world , receiving the congressional gold medal in 1985 and nobel peace prize in 1986 . the ushmm award , established in 2011 and renamed the elie wiesel award , is the museum\u2019s highest honor that is bestowed upon \u201cinternationally prominent individuals whose actions have advanced the museum\u2019s vision of a world where people confront hatred , prevent genocide , and promote human dignity . \u201d\nmany critics didn ' t seem to understand that wise guys was just supposed to be exactly the movie that they got . brian de palma ' s career had become so defined by everything this movie is not , but the movie was not a mid - career faux pas . it was not trying to be the king of comedy . he was not striving for a more artistically sophisticated brand of zaniness . it was an example of his endurance and measure as a hollywood filmmaker . it may have been a troubled production , but it was cast just right and it ' s got the pace of a meadowlands thoroughbred .\nthey dream of the day when they ' ll be assigned to really important jobs , like shaking down widows . but when the godfather holds his morning staff meetings in the back booth of his favorite restaurant , these guys get humiliated : their job is to pick up the boss ' s laundry .\nthe\nfilm yearbook volume 4\nsaid that this movie was a\nparody burlesque of warner brothers gangster films\n. this movie , ironically though , wasn ' t made at warner brothers , it was made at 20th century fox .\nkeith gordon is a creative young man who films the oddball doings of his family and peers .\nthe maestro\nappears frequently to give him pointers on his techniques . it ' s almost a film about . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe rival crime boss in this film is named maroni , a named shared by a major crime boss in the batman universe . michael keaton appeared on - screen as the caped crusader in batman ( 1989 ) and batman returns ( 1992 ) .\nbig trouble is to cassavetes what wise guys is to de palma . both are films from two of our greatest filmmakers that were met with a widely negative reception at the time of their release . it ' s understandable to a point , but there ' s something so appealing about watching these typical eighties ' screenplays put to screen by such talented filmmakers . neither film particularly has that great of a script , but each ensemble brings a level of such remarkable talent when approaching both the physical comedy , along with fully embracing the outlandish nature of the material . maneuvering around the boundaries that making a studio comedy in the 1980s entailed , it ' s remarkable how much of cassavetes ' distinct directorial style is able to work its way in here . with certain nighttime scenes in this emulating the same visual capability that the car accident that came early on in opening night displayed , it ' s hard for me not to love big trouble .\ndevito has become a major film and television producer . through jersey films , he has produced many films , including pulp fiction , get shorty , erin brockovich ( for which he received an academy award nomination for best picture ) , gattaca , and garden state .\nwith kubrick now gone , i wonder if film will ever be the same . he was a dostoevsky , a melville and a tolstoy all rolled up in one . he was an uncompromising giant unafraid to tackle controversial issues and explore the human condition through his unique vision .\ni guess a more comedic remake of double indemnity directed by john cassavetes doesn ' t sound like the worst idea but this film is pretty terrible . it ' s immediately apparent that cass wasn ' t involved with the script and that the producers heavily influenced the shooting and editing . you would never guess that this was a cassavetes film as it lacks any of the director ' s trademarks . visually it looks flat and televisual , the script is bland and terribly unfunny and the characters are wooden and entirely unremarkable . peter falk ' s performance was okay but other than that it definitely felt as if the actors were mostly phoning it in on this one . big trouble is rightly considered the director ' s weakest film and he himself regarded the movie as a failure . only watch this if you are a cassavetes completist .\nanother unique event also took place at night . in 1986 , my good friend , swing shift worker jay johnson , was in my office , arranging tv games on the satellite control panel to show out in the sportsbook . all of the sudden , the whole place erupted , howling , laughter . jay found two elephants going at it on national geographic and put them on the huge screen for the race and sportsbook to see . d\u2019wayne mauldin , his supervisor , broke the twenty - yard dash record getting back there to take them down .\nto be fair , kubrick was frequently tough on his actors . in a clockwork orange , he kept malcolm mcdowell\u2019s eyes open to that horrible metal device for nearly twelve hours straight . he shot a relentless number of takes for nearly every shot , 47 takes for a simple shot of scatman crothers crossing the street in the shining . he took years upon years to create a film just to get it right . but his talent was so enormous , so all - encompassing , so vast , so true to the film form , that somehow all the horror stories seemed justified .\nin 1977 , devito played the role of john ' john john the apple ' deappoliso in the starsky and hutch episode titled\nthe collector\n. in 1986 , devito directed and starred in an episode of steven spielberg ' s amazing stories . in the black comedy episode from season two , titled\nthe wedding ring\n, devito acquires an engagement ring for his wife ( played by his real - life wife , actress rhea perlman ) . when the ring is slipped on his wife ' s finger , she becomes possessed by the ring ' s former owner , a murderous black widow .\ni was taking a break from letterboxd for awhile . . . . then i watched american sniper . . . . and felt i needed to review it . . . . but i had 36 movies watched that needed to be reviewed first . . . . well thank goodness . . . wise guys is the 36th and final review cranked out in a 16 hour time span . this brian depalma comedy ( yes he made one ) has not aged very well . the first time i saw the movie i thought it was pretty funny . . . this time around i was trying to figure out which parts i thought were funny the first time around . danny devito and joe piscopo ( what happened to his career ? ) play best friends that are low end gangsters . after a mistake they are put in a position that requires\u2026\nindeed , the initial critical reception ( cahiers nonwithstanding ) seems perplexingly harsh for a film whose greatest offense is steadfast corniness ; to these eyes , only in jerry o\u2019connell\u2019s exasperating \u201ccomic relief\u201d is where it crosses a line . meanwhile , the references to 2001 ingeniously and cheekily reinforce the film it isn\u2019t \u2013 the centrifuge - as - hamster - wheel sequence is riffed on for a joyous diegetic dance set to van halen\u2019s \u201cdance the night away , \u201d while kubrick\u2019s monolith is evoked in the final act as a horizontal rectangle of black against a white backdrop , conversely revealed to be a welcoming entrance into a space where peaceful alien contact is made .\nit ' s here that the movie really gets rolling . the two guys hit the road , looking for safety , looking for a mob elder statesman who can bargain for their safety . and we begin to realize that the movie is filled with an inexhaustible supply of great character actors , that we are going to meet a lot of people in this story , and they are all going to be memorable .\nprofound , excellent article , ron . ( no offense to wise guys , but i think you should take it further , to something like the new yorker , atlantic , or to a scholarly journal in in history , culture , or holocaust studies for a wider readership ) . i was especially taken by your personal reflections as son of a holocaust survivor . and there is so much to be gleaned historically from reading it , especially the fact that the significant fact of jewish victimization specifically was slow to emerge post - ww2 and that the eichmann trial became something of a catalyst for the historiographical designation of the jewish holocaust . i also appreciate your indicating that very great man though he was , ellie wiesel stopped short of an embrace of the theme of palestinian suffering and rights . your article really is the full package . please seek to share it more widely .\ngoodfellas has been called one of the greatest films in the crime genre . in 2000 , it was deemed\nculturally , historically , and aesthetically significant\nand selected for preservation in the national film registry by the united states library of congress . its content and style have been emulated in numerous other films and television shows .\ni loved this film when i was younger , but haven ' t seen it in years . it ' s so nice to see it holds up . this is a great little comedy with fun performances , and though there are no huge guffaws , it ' s a very enjoyable watch . and it ' s hilarious that one of the standout roles is from captain lou albano !\non paper , it seems a blatant ill fit for his sensibility , but circumvention and misdirection have always been elements of that sensibility . it opens with one of his trademark bait - and - switches , in which an illusion is quickly revealed for what it is : a blue sky , with an off - screen voice counting down to lift - off , then a rocket shooting straight up , only moments later revealed to be a sky - rocket launched in celebration of the upcoming mission . this is immediately followed by another of his trademarks : without a cut , we switch to a roving steadicam tracking shot that drifts and whips through a backyard barbecue , introducing the film\u2019s main players in a single , fluid take and establishing the film\u2019s ultimately jovial , communal atmosphere .\nnicknamed\ntony the ant ,\nspilotro was the chicago mob ' s enforcer in las vegas for much of the 1970s and early 1980s until he and brother michael were beaten to death in an indiana cornfield in 1986 . depicted as character nicky santoro by actor joe pesci in the 1995 movie\ncasino ,\nspilotro initially ran a circus circus gift shop . he later led a burglary ring known as the\nhole in the wall gang ,\nnoteworthy because it represented the spread of mob activity beyond las vegas casinos . spilotro , who was kept out of prison by attorney and future las vegas mayor oscar goodman , also was linked to numerous murders , casino skimming and loan sharking and was banned from nevada casinos from 1978 until his death at age 48 .\nthe two friends are played by joe piscopo , as moe dickstein , and danny devito , as harry valentini . they move with easy familiarity through the world of the mob ; sometimes the little guys get the best view . they know all about the system of enforcement and discipline and punishment . they know so much , in fact , that when they screw up , when they do something that is very , very bad , they don ' t even have to be told they ' re dead . it goes without saying .\ni soon found myself renting every kubrick film i could get my hands on , and became captivated with every frame , every character , and every painstakingly crafted allegorical touch that kubrick embellished his films with . the giddy lunacy of dr . strangelove , the evolutionary epic of 2001 : a space odyssey , and the moral philosophizing of a clockwork orange . i was amazed that the man could move seamlessly from one genre to another .\nalso , as an aside , there are a few more scorsese connections in this than the average film ( it begins with a parody of a scene from ' taxi driver ' , is shot by the dp of ' the king of comedy ' , and features scorsese ' s parents in one scene ) . these are admittedly very thin connections , and i don ' t think they mean anything , but they are slightly interesting to note .\n\u201cuncompromising . meticulous . control freak . reclusive . these were all words that were attached to stanley kubrick throughout his life . but they were also words that described a man who changed the rules of filmmaking . kubrick merged the artistic film with the commercial , melding his stark independent vision with the coffers of hollywood in a way that no other filmmaking genius \u2014 not even welles \u2014 has managed to accomplish and may never succeed at doing again .\ni began to read books . i collected an arsenal of magazine articles and clippings and learned that he had moved to england to maintain control of his films after he had become disappointed with the way hollywood had attempted to wrestle control of spartacus away from him . through kubrick , i learned that directing a film was more than just an artistic challenge . it was , above all , a relentless battle with the people who gave you the money .\nrare comedy from director brian de palma ' s and his first fully directed by him since get to know your rabbit ( 1972 ) . other de palma comedies are mostly from his early work , and include greetings ( 1968 ) , hi , mom ! ( 1970 ) , the co - directed student film home movies ( 1979 ) , the wedding party ( 1969 ) , and the bonfire of the vanities ( 1990 ) . see more \u00bb\nas race results came in , a guy in the control room , located in the guts of the boardroom , announced the results to the guys on the catwalks who would open up the corresponding door and insert the results , again like fenway . to protect the customers from errors , lefty installed a movable video camera on the opposite side of the racebook , facing the boards , so the man in the control room could scan the posted results for accuracy . the racebook players had no idea what went into this process . all they saw were big , neat boards . good thing .\nnot de palma\u2019s best by a long shot , the funniest thing about it is probably the fact that it is a studio comedy film directed by brian de palma ( although there are some fun moments throughout ) . the script is not very good and i quite disliked joe piscopo , but there are a lot of instances of de palma parodying himself ( the 360 degree pan shot , and the faux - split screen , among other things ) which makes for an almost intriguing watch .\nin spats , it plays like de palma trying out slapstick . select moments \u2014 a close - up shot that pulls out to reveal harry being drowned inside of a fish tank or moe testing out a bulletproof suit jacket for his boss \u2014 highlight the fascinating hybrid of de palma\u2019s visual style with broad , studio comedy . if only it worked a bit more frequently throughout the film\u2019s bloated 100 - minute runtime . one can only ponder what additional mileage the director may have achieved from devito\u2019s deliciously terrible hairpiece , but , alas , it was not to be .\nso , now it\u2019s about 11 : 00 saturday morning and they start looking outside for sarge\u2019s cab . \u201chey , you see sarge yet ? \u201d someone would see a cab . \u201chey , i think i see him ! \u201d . . . . . \u201cthat\u2019s an ace cab , you dummy . sarge has a yellow cab . \u201d eventually , when he was good and ready , sarge would pull up with cardboard boxes full of these awesome sandwiches . they went behind the sports counter for us writers to hand out . guys would be like cattle rushing up . they sweat scores all week , but while the sandwiches were in play , scores could wait . it was pick\u2019em which sandwich was best although i made the tower\u2019s steak the favorite .\nwhile the movie sends up classic gangster movies in general , the basic plot point of johnny and tommy kelly ending up on opposite sides of the law is inspired by manhattan melodrama ( 1934 ) . in that film , william powell and clark gable portrayed orphans who are raised together as brothers . clark gable ' s character\nblackie gallagher\ngrows up to become a gangster , while william powell ' s character jim wade becomes a crusading district attorney ( just like johnny and tommy , respectively ) . also , in both films , the gangster brother roots for the district attorney brother to succeed .\n\u201cit can be said with certainty that any reviewer who pans [ mission to mars ] does not understand movies , let alone like them , \u201d declared armond white in 2000 . while perhaps an over - corrective to the critical drubbing the film had just received , there\u2019s nonetheless a grain of truth in his statement . far from being a pale imitation of 2001 : a space odyssey , as many reviewers accused , mission to mars actively deflates its predecessor\u2019s misanthropy and grandeur \u2013 on one level , it\u2019s a lavish , epic - scale lark from a director who\u2019s often been as much a satirist as a craftsman .\nscoring a sandwich was a big deal . if you got one you were one of the guys ( at least till you ate it ) , one of churchill\u2019s \u201cin crowd . \u201d this one guy , lupo ( wolf in italian ) , was another cab driver and like sarge never picked up a fare . his entire life was devoted to scamming people . if he had the choice of picking a fare up and making $ 20 or scamming somebody for $ 5 , he\u2019d choose the scam . lupo would start on monday , one writer at a time : \u201csave me a sandwich , will ya ? \u201d he would somehow always manage to get four or five then sell them . he had a route , i guess . he\u2019d put 10 times the energy into his scams than it would have taken to pick up a fare .\ndaniel michael\ndanny\ndevito , jr . ( born november 17 , 1944 ) is an american actor , comedian , director , and producer . he first gained prominence for his portrayal of taxi dispatcher louie de palma on the abc and nbc television series taxi ( 1978\u20131983 ) , for which he won a golden globe and an emmy . he went on to become a major film star , known for his roles in films such as terms of endearment , romancing the stone , twins , batman returns , get shorty , and l . a . confidential , and for his voiceover work in films such as space jam , hercules , and the lorax .\nlike bill & ted , thelma & louise and harry & sally , you have a film that completely hinges on the central relationship of duel leads . the problem here is that danny devito and joe piscopo are both positively insufferable to watch , and that ' s just on their own . put these imbeciles in a scene together and you better believe that fireworks get set off . . . . right in your face . to top it off , harvey keitel , dan hedaya and a host of character actor gangster - extraordinaires get completely shafted in straight man roles to placate the treasure trove of comedy chemistry coming from devito and po . probably the most obnoxious and inessential work in de palma ' s whole oeuvre .\ndevito co - founded jersey films with michael shamberg . soon afterwards , stacey sher became an equal partner . the production company is known for films such as pulp fiction , garden state , and freedom writers . devito also owns jersey television , which produced the comedy central series reno 911 ! . devito and wife rhea perlman starred together in his 1996 film matilda , based on roald dahl ' s children ' s novel . he currently stars as frank reynolds on the fxx sitcom it ' s always sunny in philadelphia . he also directs and produces graphic short horror films for his internet venture the blood factory . he has appeared in several of them , as have friends of his and members of his family . [ 1 ]\nat the nuremberg trials in germany following the war , jewish victimization was certainly acknowledged , but it was subsumed under the broader categories of \u201cwar crimes\u201d and \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d and soon half forgotten . the word \u201cjew\u201d was not even mentioned in alain resnais\u2019s otherwise brilliant 1955 documentary film night and fog . and william shirer\u2019s the rise and fall of the third reich , a 1960 bestseller , devoted just two to three percent of its some 1 , 200 pages to the jewish genocide . in this context , most americans came to view world war ii in terms of what alexander calls the \u201cprogressive narrative\u201d of the war , the belief that the evil of nazism had been overcome and \u201crelegated to a traumatic past whose darkness [ had been ] obliterated\u201d in favor of a forward - looking vision of a more humane and democratic age .\nthe latter sequence is where the film reaches its apex of endearingly cornball mysticism , and it\u2019s best to look beyond the even - then - antiquated cgi aliens to the implicit sight of de palma finally letting his guard down . he\u2019s never been evidently interested in the cosmic \u2013 he\u2019s most in his wheelhouse when delineating space and time , hence his obsession with the possibilities of split - screens and split - diopters ( the latter , but not the former , makes an appearance here ) . accordingly , mission to mars works best , in a conventional sense , during an earlier set piece in which the rescue mission becomes endangered by oxygen leaks in the spacecraft , triggering a race against time to identify and fix them . its depiction of extra - terrestrial contact is less convincing , yet there\u2019s something poignant about de palma surrendering to the material\u2019s demand for uncomplicated , awestruck wonder .\nbetter known as meyer lansky , the math and financial whiz became one of the nation ' s most powerful mobsters and possessed a keen grasp of the role gambling could play in organized crime . lansky provided financial backing for the flamingo , thunderbird , el cortez and stardust hotels and was rumored to be an investor in caesars palace . lansky was portrayed in 1974 as character hyman roth by actor lee strasberg in the oscar - winning best picture\nthe godfather part ii ,\na role that earned strasberg an oscar nomination for best supporting actor . lansky was credited with uttering one of the most famous lines in the history of mob lore ,\nwe ' re bigger than u . s . steel ,\nwhich was used in the film . ben kingsley also earned an oscar nomination for best supporting actor for portraying lansky in\nbugsy ,\nmaking lansky the only mobster on this list to inspire multiple oscar - nominated performances . he died at age 80 in 1983 .\nwiesel once wrote that in his worst nightmare he would wake up shivering , thinking that when he and other survivors were gone , \u201cno one will be able to persuade people that the holocaust occurred . \u201d in my view , however , the most pressing question is not whether the holocaust will be remembered , but how it will be remembered . one place to start is with the observations of sociologist jeffrey alexander , who notes that \u201cin the beginning , the holocaust was not the \u2018holocaust\u2019\u2026 . in the torrent of newspaper , radio , and magazine stories reporting the discovery\u2026of the nazi concentration camps , the\u2026remains of what had transpired were typified as \u2018atrocities , \u2019 part of the general horror of war . \u201d the particularity of jewish victimization and the suffering of jewish survivors were opaque ; and the photographic and film images that were taken by the allies presented the victims ( dead and alive ) as a \u201cpetrified , degrading , and smelly\u201d depersonalized mass of misery that generated revulsion rather than compassion .\ndevito met actress rhea perlman on january 17 , 1971 , when she went to see a friend in the single performance of the play the shrinking bride , which also featured devito . [ 13 ] they moved in together two weeks after meeting . [ 14 ] the couple married on january 28 , 1982 .

[ 16 ] throughout their relationship , perlman and devito have acted alongside each other several times , including in the tv show taxi and the feature film matilda [ 16 ] ( in which they played matilda ' s parents ) . devito and perlman separated in october 2012 after 30 years of marriage and over 40 years together . [ 16 ] however , in march 2013 , it was reported that they had reconciled and called off the separation .

indeed , i think de palma is one of the best stylists at work right now - but i wouldn ' t have suspected that he had this comedy in him . his early credits include such problematic comedies as\nhi , mom !\n( which was one of robert de niro ' s first movie jobs ) , but now here ' s this polished , confident comedy that never seems to go wrong .\na lot of the credit goes to piscopo and devito , who develop an instant , easy camaraderie . i really did feel that they care for each other . i liked the way devito waved his arms and demanded attention , and the way piscopo played his slightly slower , sweeter , dumber pal .\ndevito has been good in other recent movies ( such as\nromancing the stone\n) , but this is the first time he has been at the top of the cast and really free to show his stuff . he is inspired : this could be a new beginning for his career . piscopo , from\nsaturday night live ,\nhas worked less in the movies , and has always seemed in search of a character . here he finds one .\nand then there ' s that gallery of supporting performances . albano is so fearsome as fixer that i found myself laughing at a line i don ' t think was supposed to be funny : there ' s a reference to\nmrs . fixer .\nkeitel is suave and sinister as the casino boss , always staying within character , playing it straight , not going for laughs , and so getting more of them .\nit comes out of characters and performances , out of people who have some measure of reality , and whose dilemmas we can share .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

comedy movie directed by the director durai of mugavari fame . it stars vikram and priyanka trivedi in the lead roles , with prakash raj in the supporting role of priyanka ' s father . it flopped miserably at the box - office . the film starts off with prakash raj , and how he ' s an important man in the village . when the temple festival starts , kausalya ( priyanka ) goes to her grandpa ' s house to celebrate . there she meets suresh ( vikram ) and they fall in love .\nnice - ish . that\u2019s the word i have right now for o kadhal kanmani , a . r . rahman\u2019s latest album for mani ratnam . it didn\u2019t make me wince the way the soundtracks for lingaa and kochadaiiyaan did . it didn\u2019t activate every single one of my pleasure centres the way the soundtrack for i did . it\u2019s somewhere in the middle .\nanything special about ' dil ' ?\ni have reduced my body weight for acting in ' dil ' . i have also trimmed my hair and grown lean . you would be shocked to see me . i adhered to strict diet control , managing with fruits and juice . immediately after this , i had to put on more weight to act in ' kadhal sadugudu ' . i had to eat a lot and ended up with diarrhea . i have to give justie to the role of a police officer in this film . until i finish with that film , i will continue to turn down further offers , however big the directors may be , because i am not sure of being different in between the two films . at first i thought of increasing my weight for ' dil ' . but when i learnt that kamal sir had inflated his physique very much for ' aalavandhan ' , i have changed my opinion . definitely , i can ' t compete with him . so , i had to reduce my weight . isn ' t this different too ?\nand yet , many songs seem to exist on the basis of the music alone . the words are almost incidental \u2014 or maybe you could say the words are sounds just like the other sounds , from the instruments . in \u2018aye sinamika\u2019 , almost an entire minute is filled with variations on just three words : nee ennai neengaathe . so i did something . i counted the number of words ( approximately ) in \u2018parandhu sella vaa\u2019 , and for a five - minute song , the number of non - repeating words was just some sixty - odd . compare this with \u2018kaadhal sadugudu\u2019 , another song with a lot of repeating lines , but almost twice the number of non - repeating words . i don\u2019t know where i\u2019m heading with this exactly , but i have the feeling that most of these songs aren\u2019t going to be all that important inside the movie , with hero and heroine actually mouthing these words . maybe these are just going to be background tracks .\nas for that comparison to the alaipayuthey song , it\u2019s no accident . the trailer practically screams alaipayuthey : the sequel . and strangely \u2014 or maybe not so strangely \u2014 the songs here come off like near -

ish thing , no ?\nfor the longest time , it was perfectly acceptable for a hero in a tamil film to embark on a mission to unite his sister with her rapist . thereby saving her honour and consequently , her life .\n. the \u2018sister\u2019 here , doesn\u2019t always mean a sibling related by blood . \u2018sister\u2019 in tamil cinema is any woman who is not sufficiently glamorous to be the heroine or ' slutty ' enough to be the second heroine . the sister role goes to modest girls who are present in the first half of the film to provide a genial atmosphere and play pranks on the anna who is usually worried about their marriage expenses .\ntypically , something terrible happens to the sister right before the interval and by the time you are done with your popcorn , sister has married her rapist and exited the script for all practical purposes . we might catch a glimpse of sister bringing tea for anna when he comes home to visit her , but that\u2019s all .\nhowever , though rapists are ultimately punished for their crimes in the new movies that come out and the \u2018sisters\u2019 are not asked to marry them , a far worse situation is thrust upon the \u2018sisters\u2019 . they are required to kill themselves . for instance , both eesan ( 2010 ) and yuddham sei ( 2011 ) are thrillers in which the rapists are hunted down and punished in unimaginably violent ways . but in both the films the girls who lose their \u2018honour\u2019 are either killed by a family member ( eesan ) or kill themselves ( yuddham sei ) .\nwe see this trend in almost every movie which involves a rape \u2013 in raavanan ( 2010 ) , priya mani , who is supposed to be shurpanaka , kills herself after being gangraped . shurpanaka , in the ramayana , starts a war after her humiliation . in kollywood , she falls into a well to preserve her \u2018honour\u2019 . not satisfied with drilling down this twisted morality on human beings alone , we had chitti , the robot , in endhiran realizing what honour is after a girl he saves in a fire kills herself because everyone saw her naked .\nrapists , in real life , believe their crimes will go unpunished because they are so sure that the victim will not reveal the crime to anyone \u2013 how can a woman talk about her loss of \u2018honour\u2019 and survive in society ? films like these which pretend to speak against violence against women unwittingly bolster the social perception that a woman who has been raped does not deserve to live ; that she must forfeit her life once her \u2018honour\u2019 is lost .\nin the rape cases that have made headlines in our country in recent times , the victims / survivors have expressed their desire to fight back . live . are our directors listening ? is it possible for us to imagine a thangachi who lives despite the shame ? the shame that is ours as a society and not hers ?\nsowmya rajendran is a children ' s writer who occasionally offers her words of wisdom to adults . she lives in pune .\n' ` i work with situations from real life . once i feel strongly about something , i have to put it in a movie .\nhe made one of the most promising debuts in tamil cinema with mugavari two years ago . and then fell silent . now he ' s back with a new film which he assures will be just as good .\ndurai speaks to pradeep sebastian on his passion for movies , what went into the making of ` ` mugavari ' ' and the experience of working with ajit , jyothika , priyanka trivedi and vikram . excerpts from the interview :\nafter making a terrific debut with ` ` mugavari\n\u0097 one of the most promising tamil films in years - you are back with a new film after nearly two years . tell us about it .\nit ' s called\nadhisayam\nand it stars vikram and priyanka trivedi . i can ' t tell you too much without giving away the plot . what i ' ll say for the moment is that it is a startling fresh love story revolving round three characters . with prakash raj playing the heroine ' s father .\n` ` mugavari\nwas interesting because it imaginatively skirted the genre while still working from within it . can we expect the same from ` ` adhisayam\nor is it going to be more formulaic ?\ni ' m hoping to strike some kind of balance . . . the film is set in a town - village near the kerala - tamil nadu border . the story begins and ends there . chennai doesn ' t come into the picture at all !\nthere are terrific performances from all three . i was hell bent on working with vikram . he ' s been terrific right through the shooting - both on the sets and off the sets . very involved , very dedicated , very co - operative . i ' d very much like to work with him again .\ntell us about your discovery - priyanka trivedi . she was the only good thing about\nraja\n.\npriyanka trivedi was actually discovered by my producer , s . s . chakravarthy . but before we could get this film completed , she had already starred in two movies . she ' s originally from calcutta . she ' s going to be a big star after\nadhisayam .\noh , i ' ve never been to film school . i ' m mad about movies . during my school days i would see one movie a day and the habit has continued .\nhonestly , i never had to . if i see a movie once , it ' s all there in my head . i recall it scene by scene , dialogue by dialogue years later .\najit ' s middle class family is unusual in that it is so supportive and understanding of his un - middle class crazy ambition to be a film music composer . how did you conceive / think of such a family ?\nthey were based on my family , which actually indulged me . and the inspiration for raghuvaran ' s character is my brother - in - law , shahul hameed . i owe him a lot . my father wanted me to be a professor . i graduated in statistics , did my master ' s in sociology and completed a post - graduate diploma course in computer applications . then my brother - in - law made this deal with my father . ` ` we ' ll give durai a year to break into movies . if by the end of the year it hasn ' t happened , he has to quit .\nmy father agreed . and i ' ve been really lucky - just before the year ran out i got the break i was looking for .\n` ` adhisayam ' ' , the latest from durai ' s stable stars vikram and priyanka trivedi .\nhere i have to acknowledge my gratitude and debt to my very supportive producer , mr . chakravarthy . i had been carrying the story of ` ` mugavari\nwith me for a long time . and it was my dream to have ajit play the hero . i told him the story and he liked it enough to say he would do it . after that i went to four producers with it and they all turned it down . it clicked with the fifth producer - chakravarthy - who was willing to take a chance with me . and from that movie to the new one he has been extremely supportive and has been there with me on every aspect of the shoot - right down to post - production . ` ` adhisayam ,\nlike ` ` mugavari\nis a nic arts release .\nhow did you come up with such an unusual story ? a gifted , obsessed music composer who is forced to give up his dreams . . .\npartly my life - except i got to make my movie . but also because over the years i ' ve met so many young people whose dream it has been to do something different with their lives but have compromised or failed or given up or have been just plain unlucky . i felt that their story had to be told . that ' s how i work - with situations from real life . once i feel strongly about something , i have to put it in a movie . the best compliment paid to ` ` mugavari\nwas people talking about sridhar as though he were a real person . when they spoke of his character they didn ' t say ajit but sridhar .\n` ` mugavari\nwas one of jyotika ' s early films and probably her best performance i think . how did she come to star in it ?\nonce again , it was my producer who suggested i cast her . she had starred in\nvaali ,\nwhich he produced and he felt she would be the ideal actress to play the character i had in mind for\nmugavari .\nit was wonderful working with him . ajit is such a versatile actor . he was so pleased with the movie and his sridhar character that he presented me with a car even before the movie was released !\nthe romance between ajit and jyotika had a casual , natural , almost everyday feel to it . in particular all of us are curious about how you came up with the very interesting ` push , pull , turn ' idea . also , that telepathic telephone exchange between the two when they say ` ` i love you\nwithout actually saying it aloud .\nthe push , pull . . . idea is actually something i borrowed from my niece , irfana , who showed it to me one day .\nyou seem to have understood love and how strangely it can work sometime . i ' m referring to jyotika breaking off with ajit so that she would not be in his way of realising his dream . she says the nature of love is to sacrifice and if that means love will have to sacrifice itself , then it will do that , too . it is a marvellous moment : jyotika gives up ajit so that nothing can stand in his way of fulfilling his dream . ajit gives up jyotika because she will never be happy if he gives up his dream for her . tell us how you arrived at that scene and how you worked it out .\nthat ' s just how the story evolved in my imagination . i couldn ' t see their romance happening any other way . that ' s how my mind works . i see it happen in life , and i have to put it into a film .\nthe ending is a stunner . first , the heroine disappears from the film and then we realise ajit is not going to make it - at least not for now . however did you come up with an ending like this ? surely you must have known how risky it was ?\ni was tired of how things end in our movies . and any other ending would have been a compromise . i risked it because i thought the audience were ready for it .\ni pass by the luz bookstall regularly . and i read a lot of books . when the story was being discussed , i had this flash that i could put it in the film .\none last question : your name - you are a muslim but durai . . . ?\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\ncast : vikram , priyanka trivedi , vivek , nambiyar , prakash raj , nalini language : tamil director : durai producer : s . s . chakravarthy music : deva year : 2003\nwith a great disappointment on the movie let ' s just get into the story and wait for the vikram ' s next movie ' saamy ' . vikram is an orphan and gets along with his best friend ' s family by staying with them in a village . there he comes across priyanka thrivedi and falls for her at the very first sight . but things doesn ' t go well with priyanka ' s father prakash raj and vikram as they misunderstand each other at many times and end up in hatred . when prakash raj comes to know that priyanka has a special attraction towards vikram , he also refuses like any other heroine ' s father . finally things get a change when vikram makes up his mind to sacrifice his love and thus the entire drama comes to an end leaving no impact .\nbut it is a softer , kinder , role \u0097 a contrast to his action ventures like\ndhool\n. he is a perfect foil for the impulsive , short tempered and proud chidambaram ( prakashraj ) . what prakashraj tries to achieve with his fiery eyes and full - throated dialogue , vikram achieves with his quiet demeanour . vikram ' s eyes in particular , convey emotions with ease . but at times you wish he were a little more brisk and dynamic .\nsuresh ( vikram ) and kausalya ( priyanka ) fall in love . but unwittingly suresh keeps rubbing her father ( prakashraj ) on the wrong side . so naturally he objects to the match . but after a point his senseless , irrational anger drives you to exasperation . the climax at the railway station is clich\ufffdd , predictable , boring and so typical of our films . the hero ' s monologue only accentuates the dullness . there are many members in the huge joint family suresh stays with , but not one , including nambiar , makes an impression .\nsuper subbu ( vivek ) , his grandma ( paravai muniyamma ) and the father with his kangaroo court form a comedy track that has nothing to do with the main story .\nmaegathil ondrai . . .\n, sung by hariharan and sujatha has melodic touches . deva is the composer . the re - recording hurts the ear .\nwould you like to make this site your homepage ? it ' s fast and easy . . .\nreally some pictures bring about transformations in a great magnitude . they change the very course of the lives of the central actors in those films . they are so powerful .\nit has given a new lease of life to vikram at a time when he was about to leave for america , lock , stock and barrel , losing all hopes of making it big in the film world here . today he is acting as a hero in fifteen films .\nthis sensational and tremendous turning point in the life of the actor indicates that he has lucky moles all over his body . no doubt , vikram has come a long way in giant ' s strides .\nhe talks on and on about the film , ' dil ' . he is growing to be a stiff competitor to kamal hassan . he has planned to wear different kinds of make - up in all his successive films . we are in to witness many vikrams in the times ahead .\nwe had a rendezvous with him on an enchanting evening , stealing time when he was engaged in dubbing his voice for ' dil ' .\ni cannot forget ' sethu ' ever . it was a great hit . it brought out my capabilities to the limelight . they say that my potential had been wasted in vinnukkum manukkum . the problem is vinnukkum mannukkum was preceded by sethu . obviously the public expect more and more from me since the phenomenal success of sethu\n.\nsethu has a special merit . it has commercial values as well as an artistic touch , all at once . no doubt , it is a rarity among films . i would like to say that the many films in which i am acting now would certainly measure up to sethu both in their commercial and artistic aspects .\nvinnukkum mannukkum didn ' t offer you a big scope to prove your mettle . why did you accept to partake in that film ?\nsome people narrate a story in a particular way and picturize the same in a different manner . it so happens once in a while . one out of ten films are like that . in ' dil ' all of us work with team spirit as members of a team . but vinnukkum mannukkum was different . . . it was the brainchild of a single person .\nvinnukkum mannukkum was an apt film for the fans of b and c areas . it was a matter of abiding interest that a village youth had fallen in love with a film actress . of course , we discussed a lot before starting the film . but what happened actually turned out to be different from what i expected\n.\ni didn ' t worry much on that account . i have already bagged about ten special awards . i was aware that i may not get the national award , but when i learnt that i missed the bus just by the narrowest of margins i became a little happy . the fact that only one vote separated me from the national award contributes to the growth of my self - confidence . that day is not far off from my winning the national award .\nnobody would refuse the inflow of money . i , too , am after fortune . but i require fame too and that too , through acting in films . therefore i remain choosy in selecting the roles to be played by me . i am playing a heroic role in ' samrai ' . mine is a jester ' s role in ' vikatan ' . despite my comic gimmicks in that film , grief would linger in my mind . as a college student , i would be donning a mischievous character in the movie , ' university ' . one scene from that film stands out . when i alight from a bus , the checking inspector would demand me my ticket . i would take to my heels . the official would come running after me . when he catches hold of me , i would promptly hand over the ticket . he would enquire :\nwhy do you run so fast when you have the ticket ?\n. i would retard back calmly :\nwhy do you run after me when i have a ticket for rupees two ? after all , you are known to run after those who never take any ticket .\ni was always after acting in characters which are unique in their own way . previously there was no choice for me , practically no chance at all ! as i had acted in the films directed by big ones , i couldn ' t ask for the stories except for\nhouseful\nand\nsedhu\n. i just relied upon the confidence on the directors , delivering the goods required of me . as i was resolved to act in films with a different hue , i could act only in just eight films during the course of the last ten years . now i am in a comfortable position and i can also be choosy about the films i act . i am ardent lover of good acting . i had been a stage actor too . these days , i don ' t give much importance to the fame of the production nor to the reputation of the director . my primary consideration is whether the character would suit me or not . i give my nod if only something in me compels me to accept a role as a must . otherwise , i won ' t be carried away , however big the director may be . the role should provide ample scope for me to exhibit my histrionic talents .\nthe capacity to act well is in my power . why i should i waste my gifted talents over trivial things ?\nas an artist , i am interested in many spheres . i was asked to sing the song ,\nunakkena unakkena\nin\nvinnukkum mannukkum\nitself . lack of time prevented me from doing so . i was invited to sing in manoj ' s album , pathinaru vayadhinile also . but i didn ' t oblige as there was manoj already in the project .\ni never experienced any difficulties in singing for the album ,\nkadhalism\n. even kamal ' s voice is not that great . but it would convey the emotions as they should be . for a new picture , i have sung alongside shankar mahadevan who is one of the best singers in india . despite the fact that i am not qualified to sing a chorus song even , my voice has mingled well with his voice as it is able to convey the required emotion .\ni will never opt myself for the profession of singing . but i will never refuse to sing in the event of suitable chances . i will definitely accept songs modeled on the lines of ' strawberry kanne ' of minsara kanavu . the song should be something like a piece of conversation . the song ' strawberry kanne ' might have come out better had prabhu deva sung it in full instead of merely uttering the dialogue ' nose than konjam oversizaa irukku ' in the middle of the song . the voice of the song might not have changed if the actor himself had rendered both the lyrical lines and the dialogue . so , i will be singing when i land upon such chances .\nit is something that must be applauded that an actor appears in nine different make - ups in a single film . that ajith dons nine characters in a film is a difficult task to perform when compared to the trouble taken by me in these two months to justify my single role . i hope ' citizen ' would be an instant success . if the film turns out to be a blockbuster , another actor of a different kind would be arriving on the scene of tamil cinema . so far , we have not seen any such actor after kamal . the success of ' citizen ' would encourage many more actors and induce them to do such great feats like ajith .\nfrom the very beginning , myself and my fans contemplated about making our actual presence at the scene of the calamity rather than sending certain goods of value to be of help to the quake victims . but i never expected that my fans will actually rush to gujarat . they were brave enough to start on their committed mission . when they landed in the railway station there , they themselves experienced the impact of an earthquake . but my fans were an undeterred lot . they rushed to the devastated areas and offered their utmost help to the god - forsaken people there . the general public as the red cross society voluntary , who operated in the disastrous area have praised my fans for having journeyed a long distance all along from tamil nadu to participate in the rescue work . my fans have worked hand in hand with the red cross people . i don ' t claim credit to my fans for this . i am proud of them that they have done their bit on behalf of tamil nadu .\n( smilingly )\nof course i know . rajakumaran has filmed my birthday scene based on his own birthday celebration . all of us were aware then that rajakumaran was in love with devayani . when we learnt about the news of their wedding subsequently we were all elated .\nyou have attained success after persisting for a long time with patience . what will become to your film life hereafter ? where are you heading for ? when sedhu became a hit i thought that my dream has been realized . i am so much in love with cinema . but merely loving cinema and not getting any chance to prove your mettle will serve no purpose . but cinema too is fond of me . it gives me ample chances . i will certainly prove worthy of the confidence the cinema people have reposed on me . i shall act in good characters and give good films to the movie -

post - apocalyptic : the us is facing a crisis caused by the lack of faith in the very foundation of its financial system . the us government defaults on all its debt and orders all gold to be recalled , the dollar is essentially worthless and replaced by the ' bancor ' as the globally preferred currency , and inflation grows so rampant that a he\nthe mandibles is both a story and a backstory of an economic dystopia . the story is that of the titular family , thrown into an economic crisis . as a novel , it ' s witty and engaging , though imperfect . there are too many characters , resulting in only a few complexly drawn ones and too many nonentities . the plot moves unevenly through the time span ( more on this later ) . however , there is a good eye towards the mundane details : food , water , toilet paper . when shriver stops showing you how much effort\nthe life of audrey marie hilley , who , in order to start a new life , took drastic action .\nthis revelation that the united states is a\nnation of raped children\nis , in roiphe ' s snide synopsis , accurate only if reading about something makes it a reality . incest narratives exemplify a new national trend for critics such as james kincaid and laura miller , who argue that sexually shocking , tabloid - style revelations were the stock - in - trade of the publishing and popular culture industry of the 1990s . according to critics of this [ end page 114 ] 1990s boom , a new cultural market in incest conflates the literary scene with the social real , producing a transformation in the traditional referents of the american family romance . in place of a literature symbolizing the link between family and nation as a prohibition against incest , in the late twentieth century it is the presumed social reality of incest that drives national literary markets . these new family romances share a singular drive toward what roiphe calls\na bargain - basement epiphany\nor a kind of\npsychological lightning\n( 68 ) . such a formal repetitiveness trains readers to experience realism as contemporaneous\nreality ,\nseducing them into a shared experiential reading that uses the literal and literalizing trope of incest to translate revelatory shock into comforting predictability . as roiphe summarizes the telos of these new family romances :\nthe entire story is reduced to a riddle , and incest is the answer\n( 68 ) .\nthese behaviors are often symptoms of the family\u2019s inability to adapt to change and to solve problems .\npat tanner nelson , ed . d . extension family & human development specialist ptnelson @ urltoken urltoken\nsometimes a bit ( too ) heavy on the economics shriver wants to get across , but the story is inventive . satirical and quite funny at times . and above all , in typical shriver - fashion , an unusual view on the ethics of the economical crisis it portrays : the good guys are not so ' good ' after all . . . all in all , not the best shriver - novel , but worth a read nevertheless .\nin the mandibles : a family , 2029 -

world country ) likely enough . the response of all the characters to their narrow economic straits ( spelled ' straights ' in this book ) is passive & selfish . i kept reflecting that people in britain between 1940 & 1950 lived @ a greater level of austerity than any of these characters , & saved civilisation in its darkest hour . i had felt guilty that i ' d never read a book by lionel shriver , especially as she has won distinguished prizes . but on the basis of this book i ' d have to conclude she is a total cynic & nihilist .\ni received a free proof copy . i have read and enjoyed lionel shriver before . however i do not read dystopian novels set in the future very often so have little to compare it with . i prefer the michel faber and margaret atwood i have read though to this one . it is perhaps not fair to compare . this is set in the near future and is unsettling in that the outcomes can almost be seen on the horizon from our perspective here and now . she does not pull any punches ; at times this is quite visceral . i di\nhe hired a coyote to cross the border back into mexico . he leads adventure tours there again .\ni received a free proof copy . i have read and enjoyed lionel shriver before . however i do not read dystopian novels set in the future very often so have little to compare it with . i prefer the michel faber and margaret atwood i have read though to this one . it is perhaps not fair to compare . this is set in the near future and is unsettling in that the outcomes can almost be seen on the horizon from our perspective here and now . she does not pull any punches ; at times this is quite visceral . i did root for willing the young boy who has the cunning and initiative to save his disparate family none of which are very likeable . the downside is the didactics were too long and sometimes unfathomable especially when we got into the financial situation .\na few things can be said to have formed a cult around lionel shriver in the past few years , especially since the watershed publication of her 2003 novel we need to talk about kevin . by and large , readers have followed shriver\u2019s fictional production on account of ( 1 ) her unique repertoire of topics , i . e . her keen interest in sensitive social issues ( obesity , healthcare , gun control , marriage ) , and ( 2 ) her virtually matchless narrative voice , ever - present sarcasm , and good ear for particularly sti\nmusic : the smiths -\nback to the old house\n( my pinterest page created for this book ( spoilers ) : urltoken ) it ' s 2029 . five years after ' stonage ' , when all electricity was lost for a long time , the us national debt finally wipes out the dollar , causing chaos for years . we follow the story of the mandible family - already declining family , rich due to some ancestors ' engine designs - how it lost pretty much ( almost ) everything ( except some glasses and silver knives ) ,\nmoney and economy , how people react to the dollar crash and deal with it long after , all the forms of money , how it changes not just the role of america , but of other countries as well , how the family fortune can disappear and reappear , how the role of money changes relationships within the family even when there ' s none at all . ( this book really makes you think about money more * lol * )\nit ' s 2029 . five years after ' stonage ' , when all electricity was lost for a long time , the us national debt finally wipes out the dollar , causing chaos for years . we follow the story of the mandible family - already declining family , rich due to some ancestors ' engine designs - how it lost pretty much ( almost ) everything ( except some glasses and silver knives ) , how it survived and how it changed . the book is of two parts - 2029 ( and about three years after that ) , told from a handful of povs , and 2047 ( told from the pov of willing mandible ( born darkly ) ) .\n[ the country has shortages of power and food , jobs disappear , and people end up migrating to farming areas to survive . the dollar is worthless , so barter and gold become the only way to ' buy ' anything needed . foreign countries move in and buy up american businesses , and other nations ' currencies gain ascendency , while america loses face as the most prestigious address in the world . eventually , things settle down and a recovery begins , but new technologies and new policies change america into something not exactly a democracy anymore .

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

turner for many mainstream action - genre readers , i think . those readers whose tastes can encompass all together at once a book which can be shelved under the category alternative - future - history / hard - science - fiction / wall street finance / social - dystopia / multi - generational - saga might enjoy it . there isn ' t much thriller action , either .\nthe various mandible families and their daily concerns are very similar to how we live now , only they have the use of extrapolated technological marvels which are common household items to them while these electronics are only experimental items on the horizon to us in 2016 . for me , the smooth insertions of future technology into the story was the best part of reading the novel .\n* gasps * i\u2019ve long waited to read lionel shriver and the recent release of the mandibles presented me the perfect opportunity to start working on her oeuvre . having just finished reading it , i\u2019m still gasping for my breath . it feels as though i\u2019m back from a particularly arduous underwater expedition . but i\u2019m \u201cimmense\u201d glad i read it . if i were willing or any other character from the book , i\u2019d describe it as \u201cmalicious\u201d . the mandibles is stratospherically ingenious and a particularly heavy read . it\nlionel shriver is not for everyone . that said , i need to read more lionel shriver . she ' s just . . . my latest girl crush . and one of the most important authors out there when it comes to igniting healthy debate and challenging authority and the status quo . in the four novels i ' ve read of her 13 , she ' s tackled : the u . s . health care system ( so much for that ) , obesity ( big brother ) , the nature vs . nurture debate ( the absolutely riveting , 5 -

( characters presumed dead miraculously manage to survive . snipers suddenly discover a humanitarian side . )\nthroughout the film , sheridan gives us little insights into the callous way that native americans are still treated in the us . there are no fbi statistics on the disappearance of native american women . their abductions or deaths don\u2019t provoke much in the way of sympathy or intervention from the authorities .\nmaverick movie : in 1976 , wertm\u00fcller recorded history with her film seven beauties ( pasqualino sette bellezze ) , becoming the first woman nominated for an academy award for directing . the lives of low - income southern italians , a reoccurring theme in her work , show up in this international success .\nmaverick movie : for 1992\u2019s the piano , campion became the second woman nominated for academy award for best director at the 1994 ceremony , where the film won best original screenplay . the protagonist is a mute pianist struggling with her position in an arranged marriage in mid - 19th century new zealand .\nthe film is intended as the first of two features based by on the stephen king novel . the characters here will come back again as adults and face off against the diabolic clown all over again . whether or not the sequel can recapture the intensity of the first part remains to be seen .\nthe film , though , is uplifting and very moving . it shows its subjects coming together to help one another . prisoners form very close bonds with each other and with the civilians . it becomes apparent that the civilians have just as many demons eating away at them as the men behind bars ,\nthere are a lot of exciting chases in\nrenegades\nand some nice chemistry and comic dialogue between the stars , but the story just piles one ridiculous element upon another until audience - members are bound to be scratching their heads in disbelief . not the least of these is the mayhem in the streets and the innocent bystanders who must have been injured if not killed along the way , with seemingly no one in the city as outraged as phillips is about his brother .\n\u0093it had great humour , great action , and a strong , believable relationship between the two main characters , \u0094 claims director jack sholder of the script of this buddy - cop - chase movie . sholder\u0092s most distinguished earlier work , the hidden , was a triumph not of subtle character interplay or perceptive social comment but of crashed cars , machine - gun shoot - outs , energetic running - around and trashed public property . renegades , despite all that \u0093believable relationship\u0094 jazz , is simply more of the same .\ninstead of a wallander - like detective , the film offers us a wildlife ranger called cory lambert ( jeremy renner . ) he\u2019s an expert tracker and hunter who wears white to help him blend into the scenery . his job is to shoot wolves and mountain lions that may be threatening the livestock on the wind river reservation .\na little more context would surely have helped . we have no idea who is fighting whom or where oum\u2019s husband has gone , or why all the other neighbours have fled . this means that insyriated lacks any local identity . it risks becoming just another generalised film about the pity and squalor of war as experienced on the domestic front .\nfrom the earliest days of moving pictures , men have dominated the industry both on and off - screen , but even before women had the right to vote , a few pioneer ladies were already becoming industry leaders . because film is traditionally more closed to women , these daring ladies have had to be even more innovative to get their pictures noticed .\nthe film unfolds over one summer in derry , a small american town that is cursed . when kids do their research in the local library , they discover that people here have a nasty habit of dying and disappearing . every 27 years , a fiendish clown with teeth that the average great white shark would envy reappears to harvest some new flesh .\nit would have been so easy to have made it such . the fact that it takes itself far too seriously and the fact that it decides to not have any comedy in it at all is absolutely bizarre . this was the perfect daft setup for a buddy cop film and yet it decides on something grittier and more serious and what the fuck for ?\nthe filmmakers aren\u2019t just able to draw on stephen king\u2019s back catalogue . they have a whole history of horror to borrow from . there are nods here in the direction of nic roeg\u2019s don\u2019t look now . ( the missing kid here wears a yellow coat that is as easy to spot as the red macintosh worn by the drowning child in roeg\u2019s film . )\nalthough set in wyoming ( supposedly in the spring ) , this is a story that unfolds in a very bleak and icy environment in which the wind chill factor is always well below zero . it\u2019s very well written , albeit a little portentous and self - conscious . the film digs away at the hidden grief of its characters while every so often exploding into extreme violence .\nthere\u2019s a double dose of nostalgia in the tremendous new stephen king adaptation . the film manages the feat of being very evocative and , on occasion , quite terrifying . it harks back to the great stephen king adaptations of the 1980s , most notably stand by me . those films in turn often demonstrated a yearning for lost childhoods and times past ; the dear dead days beyond recall .\nother work : after publishing a memoir of her stripping career , cody moved into screenwriting . following juno \u2019s success , cody has sold a number of other edgy scripts , from the horror film jennifer\u2019s body ( note that horror is a stereotype - defying genre for a woman to write ) to the dark comedy young adult . not one to rest on her laurels , cody now has directing ambitions .\nkiefer sutherland is the renegade cop . lou diamond phillips is the renegade native - american fella . both , have one goal : to takedown a ruthless baddie . they have different reasons , but both want justice . they play by different rules , don ' t really get along , come from two completely different cultures , and like to crack jokes on each other . however , when it gets heated , will they put the their differences aside , to save the fuckin ' day ? it ' s renegades , the\nbuddy flick\ndirected by the same guy who brought us freddy ' s revenge . what could go wrong ?\nmaverick movie : for her direction of the war drama the hurt locker ( 2010 ) , bigelow became the first woman to win the academy award for best director . not only did she foray into a genre considered particularly masculine , there she found success . with contemporary relevance as a film about the iraq war , the hurt locker earned bigelow a spot on time\u2019s list of the 100 most influential people of the year in 2010 .\nmaverick movie : for 2003\u2019s lost in translation , which won the oscar for best original screenplay , coppola became only the third woman to be nominated for the best director award\u2014stepping far out from her father\u2019s shadow . the film was also nominated for best picture , and her best director nomination was the first for an american woman . with her screenplay win she extended her family\u2019s oscar legacy , making the coppolas the second clan to win for three generations .\ni use this blog to talk about things that i want to get off my chest and things that interest me . as well as cultural stuff , tv show & movie reviews , favourite lists and likes . since 2016 , i have been focusing a lot on film reviews . with a prime emphasis on the 1980s and 1990s , though i occasionally dip my toes in post - 2000s and 1970s films - if they are interesting or good , that is .\nthis means the tempo is on the languid side . lambert likes to sit and think . he does drive his snow bike at speeds of 80 mph or more but that doesn\u2019t mean he is ever in a hurry . like hawkeye in last of the mohicans , he relies on stealth , not speed . the elegiac music from nick cave and warren ellis adds to the film\u2019s dreamy , slow motion quality , and to the feeling of sadness and loss with which the story is imbued .\ni am not the greatest fan of 80s buddy movies but it\u2019s pretty difficult not to like a film whose future buddies are young kiefer sutherland ( in his pre - \u201ctorture is awesome\u201d phase ) and lou diamond phillips ( in his pre - \u201csheriff roles only\u201d phase ) . together , in good 80s action movies tradition , they fight slightly more crime than they commit themselves , crash cars , smash a large amount of things , and hurt or kill a lot of people in hilarious and improbable ways .\nearly in the film sutherland is chasing the bad guys through the city when they pause in a museum just long enough to steal a sacred lance and kill phillips ' brother , after about two dozen other people have bitten the dust . naturally , this prompts phillips , a low - key lakota sioux indian who thinks before he acts , to seek revenge . so he latches onto a reluctant sutherland , making for an uneasy pair of odd - couple detectives on the run from both crooks and cops as they track down the killers .\nfor once , the captain character in this sort of film ( given by cop specialist bill smitrovich ) does have an actual role to play in the plot apart from reaming out the insane , violent cop working for him , and even buster\u2019s absurd crusade against crooked cops has a reason to it . it\u2019s nothing original , mind you , but i do think including some bits and pieces that actually make a degree of sense and hint at the real world in a plot only helps to make the general outrageousness of your typical action movies that decisive bit more interesting . characters for their part are seldom\nbut after seeing an early version of the film , phillips was a bit surprised by the violence .\ni saw a rough cut and i think we dwell on the violence a little bit . i was a little surprised . you never know if they ' re shooting slow - mo ( slow - motion ) , and it ' s operatic to a certain extent . i don ' t think it ' s as violent as ` the untouchables ' or , say , ` robocop , ' or something like that . and that ' s not an excuse . i didn ' t think we needed as much of it .\non the flight , the gang and the idiot cop stumble into an exhibition where marino finds the time and inclination to grab the holy lance of the lakota , and shoot one of the lakota men watching over it . that man\u2019s brother , hank storm ( lou diamond phillips ) , promises to get back the lance and take revenge for his brother . a fine opportunity to start on this work opens up to hank when his mystical indian tracking powers ( seriously , that\u2019s how the film plays it and will continue to play it ) lead him to buster , who is in rather bad shape after moreno ended their short - lived partnership by shooting him .\none significant arena in which women acted publicly to express concern about the types of films made and screened in australia was the 1927 royal commission on the moving picture industry . of the 253 witnesses who gave evidence , 41 were women , most of whom were , using the commissioners ' phrase , ' keen observers of the effect of films upon the community ' ( report of the royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia , 2 ) . these ' keen observing ' women , most representing women ' s organisations , unanimously supported film censorship and detailed specific roles that women should play in enforcing it . mrs edith waterworth , a member of the state film censorship board in hobart , argued at the royal commission that women , as citizens and mothers , have two claims to public representation while men only have one . as mothers , she asserted , they ' necessarily have to give far more careful thought to the rearing of children than is given by a father ' ( royal commission on the moving picture industry in australia , minutes of evidence , par . 16905 , 588 ) . despite women ' s dual claim to representation , waterworth ' s focus was almost exclusively on women ' s civic maternalism ( as defined by warne , among others ) . this is replicated in the evidence of other women too .\ndirector jack sholder\u2019s just the right kind of guy at the right kind of place here , shooting the insipid , the hilarious and the exciting all in the straightforward and unpretentious manner this kind of thing demands , until nothing made of glass isn\u2019t broken . it\u2019s such a bunch of merry carnage ( not terribly brutal as these films go ) broken up by semi - embarrassing indian ( that\u2019s the word the film prefers to use , even though it has the perfectly good word \u201clakota\u201d right there in the script ; buster of course is racist dickhead enough to always call hank \u201cchief\u201d ) mysticism , and general nonsense that it\u2019s easy to miss that the script actually has some perfectly neat ideas beside the nonsense .\nthe two heroes are as suspicious of each other as they are wary of the villains , of course . their attempts to outwit each other are as blatant and obvious as the stereotypes the film relies on . the criminal boss is named marino , and though he looks like an ivy league wasp , he has meetings in an italian restaurant where the waiters pack guns . mr . sutherland ' s buster mchenry is the honest - cop kid of a bad - cop father . and mr . phillips plays the son of a medicine man whose chants are able to restore mr . sutherland ' s health after he is shot . the strong , smart indians are positive stereotypes , but they ' re stereotypes nonetheless .\nin addition to that outlined above , i also occasionally work as a forensic musicologist / expert witness on a consultancy basis . recent activity includes work for warner chappell and universal music on copyright infringement cases ( including a major west end show and a number of international recording artist recordings ) . i have also recently acted as a consultant for both edexel and the arts council of wales on ways in which the a level school music curriculum can resonate more closely with the university sector . regarding my work on frank zappa , i acted as an advisor on a recent edition of the american tv series history detectives , when the programme investigated the authenticity of one of frank zappa\u2019s paintings . i also regularly undertake peer reviews for research projects and journals , with recent activities including reviews for the journal of adaptation in film and performance , the brock review , the economic and social research council and the higher education academy .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

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

painted cave people at the end . then there was the ignorance of what a runestone was ; steinar had to ask what it was . finally , there are few female characters in the film and almost all are completely incidental to the plot . although advertised as a viking film set in 870 - 71 , this film quite clearly was not that . in reality it is a fantasy quest film and the setting need not have been england in the ninth century , because the events were quite generic with nothing that made it specifically viking in nature .\nall there in the manual : half of the characters ' names , a good half of the plot , and all of the mythology come from the ancient norse legends . subverted , in that most of it isn ' t canon in the mcu .\ncavill also signed on to star as cia operative napoleon solo in guy ritchie & apos ; s remake of the man from u . n . c . l . e . , with an august 2015 u . s . release . the spy drama , set in the 1960s , co -

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

( 1989 ) . it is a story about two friends of the opposite gender falling in love told via an episodic narrative . also , both are more of a humorous drama or \u201cdramadies\u201d rather the outright comedies .\n\u201cmoon as a woman has various attractive traits . so far , moon\u2019s characters in her past works often involved her being serious and mature . however , in \u2018love forecast , \u2019 moon will let out different charms that viewers had never seen before , \u201d he said .\ntrailer released for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nif you\u2019re like me , you\u2019ve seen more than your fair share of rom - coms . you know , those movies with a pretty girl and a handsome guy who fall in love over a set of wacky circumstances . they travel through highs and lows together , and you with them . \u201clove forecast\u201d fits into that category and snuggles right in with the best of its comrades .\nadded new stills for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\ncoal ' s forecast generation share rises from 30 percent last year to 31percent in 2017 . the projected generation shares for natural gas and coal in 2018 average 31 percent and 32 percent , respectively .\nas a result , the equal weight put on the two leads does not match with the perspective of the movie . this would have been less of a problem if love forecast ( 2015 ) took the approach taken by when harry met sally . . . ( 1989 ) and kept the characters together in scenes as much as humanly possible . and , during its first act , love forecast ( 2015 ) does this as moon chae - won and lee seung - gi just hang around doing normal - ish stuff . as a result , the first act is the best part of the movie .\ncalling all lee seung gi fans ! this week we have a special dramafever movie night just for you . his new movie love forecast , costarring moon chae won , is now playing , and this is one heartfelt romantic comedy you won ' t want to miss . let ' s take a look !\nthe film is about a man and a woman who fall in love after 18 years of friendship .\ntoday ' s love\nwas previously titled\nshe who is loved by three men .\nyeyyy . . . waiting for this movie a new year . . i love them . . .\nwhat is love for < a class = ' liennormal ' , . . . < span > more\nadded 2 new posters for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nmovie \u2018love forecast\u2019 drew 133 , 746 viewers on its opening day , slightly below ode to my father\u2019s 144 , 612 viewers for the day , and was ranked # 1 among movies that opened on the same day ( including chronicle of a blood merchant , night at the museum 3 , and american sniper ) .\ni thought she was a brat . she ' s so in love with love that she didn ' t even get her own relationship to the married guy . hello . . . he can ' t get mysterious\u2026\na common tagline for bad romantic comedies reads , can a man and a woman just be friends ? relievingly ,\nlove forecast\nnever gets that obnoxious . joon - soo ( played by lee seung - gi ) and hyeon - woo ( played by moon chae - won ) are without a doubt friends . they ' re the ones who have to help each other out emotionally when their actual romantic relationships implode . the main irony\nlove forecast\ngoes over is the question of why they ' re only just friends , when they clearly have better long - term toleration for each other than their actual so - called serious partners , . . .\nbts\u2019s \u201clove yourself : tear\u201d takes no . 9 on mid - 2018 list of top physical albums in united states\nadded new character posters and stills for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nadded new character trailer and stills for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nadded new official trailer and stills for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nadded new posters and updated cast for the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n, . . .\nadded the upcoming korean movie\ntoday ' s love\n' s page to hancinema database , . . .\ntoday among stiff competition , love forecast ( 2015 ) starring moon chae - won and lee seung - gi opened this week . and you can describe a lot of this movie using two hollywood movies of the last century as reference : when harry met sally . . .

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

award - winning screen adaptation of jeanette winterson ' s novel oranges are not the only fruit .\nafter a run in london , cranham went with the play to broadway , turning in 796 performances in total . i wonder how gruelling it is to be on stage night after night in such a part . every stage actor who plays a big role never stops working on it , says cranham . it ' s a way of keeping things fresh .\nyou create a blueprint of your best performance and you ' re happiest the night you surpass that blueprint . that won ' t happen that often but it will happen . it ' s like sculpting , you keep refining . when you have a piece that is yours , that is just you , that becomes obsessive , you think about it all the time .\ncranham has no need to rely on reflected glory , though : he has enough of his own . he was a friend to joe orton , then to harold pinter . both playwrights regarded him as a skilful interpreter of their writing . during the 1966 revival of the macabre farce loot , orton returned from his mother\u2019s funeral in leicester with an unusual addition to the prop cupboard . \u201cthere\u2019s a scene where my character has to catch his mum\u2019s false teeth and use them as castanets , \u201d cranham recalls . \u201con that occasion , i cupped my hands and saw them turning in the air above me , almost in slow motion . i could tell these weren\u2019t the usual glossy ones . these were mildewed . they were joe\u2019s mum\u2019s . \u201d\ncranham trained at the national youth theatre of great britain and rada . he starred in the title role in the popular 1980s comedy drama shine on harvey moon . he also appeared in layer cake , gangster no . 1 , rome , oliver ! and many other films . cranham was cast as the deranged dr . philip channard and his cenobitic alter -

fashioned cream cakes . the walls were covered in a collage of images \u2013 there were renaissance pictures , and one image of a baby being born out of the heart of africa . the montages look striking in photos of joe at home , but when you were actually there they were very vivid and you felt a bit attacked by it .\nborn december 12 , 1944 , in dunfermline , fife , scotland ; son of ronald and margaret m ' kay ( maiden name , ferguson ) cranham ; married diana quick ( an actress ; divorced ) ; married fiona victory ( an actress ) ; children ( with charlotte cornwell ; an actress ) : nancy . addresses : agent : markham & froggatt , julian house , 4 windmill st . , london w1p 1hf , england .\ncranham is an interesting mixture . for all his emotional intelligence , he\u2019s a toughie \u2013 a south london geezer ( he\u2019s played several thugs in his long career ) , yet also a rich - voiced thespian with a fondness for ripe theatrical anecdotes . thick - set , with a large , lived - in face and dark , watchful eyes , he has a heavyweight presence : you can see why he\u2019s so appealing to casting directors .\na couple of years later , when i had joined the royal court theatre , the ruffian on the stair was put on one sunday night and again , i played wilson . the play was a great success . all the powerful people were there \u2013 theatre producers oscar lewenstein and michael white , and agent peggy ramsay . joe\u2019s fortunes though had taken a bit of a dip . he\u2019d had a great success with his first performed stage play entertaining mr sloane , but the touring version of his next , loot , did not do well . however , now joe and kenneth sensed that success would be theirs again .\ncranham trained at the prestigious royal academy of dramatic art , and his west end credits range from entertaining mr sloane to gaslight ; he got his film breakthrough in the musical oliver ! . but , while he found his greatest fame as a demobbed corporal trying to reconstruct his life and bombed - out home in post - war england in the acclaimed 1980s tv series shine on harvey moon , his own childhood was shaped by post - war scotland .\ncranham was born on 12 december , 1944 , in dunfermline infirmary . his father , ron , a public schoolboy from london , was 19 when the second world war broke out , and joined the royal engineers . he was sent to cowdenbeath to train , where lochgelly - born margaret worked as a librarian . soon she was also in uniform . they were posted together near manchester , where margaret was arrested for smoking on a railway platform . she was something of a rebel , who had proudly flashed her army knickers to her girlfriends .\nit was the drama teachers at cranham ' s london school who persuaded him to act in shakespeare rather than play football in his free time . but in lochgelly , he says :\ni didn ' t do anything else that would feed into that . i wasn ' t seeing any theatre . the first thing i wanted to do , as a boy , was to be a skier , because i had seen film footage of somebody skiing . when you see moving images , it ( takes you into a ] dream world .\nof his two daughters , one , aged 18 , says she would like to follow him into acting . with her dad in london , at least she won ' t have to go the traditional actors ' route of living in awful digs while they learn their craft .\ni ' ll look after her ,\nsays cranham . he ' s certainly an example to follow when it comes to staying in work for nearly five decades . it ' s all a question of timing and keeping up with the changes , he says .\nthe 67 - year - old was speaking in edinburgh ahead of the film festival premiere of flying blind , a bbc films co - production and his third movie this year after maleficent and suspension of disbelief . directed by katarzyna klimkiewicz , it ' s a british drama about an aviation scientist , played by helen mccrory , who is engaged in secret state work when she finds herself the object of a foreign student ' s affections . cranham , playing her father , is among those wondering if mccrory is doing the right thing in becoming friends with the stranger .\nhe is in scotland this week to narrate stravinsky ' s the soldier ' s tale with the bbc scottish symphony orchestra .\nit ' s fantastically alarming , because as i do it , ( it ] is going straight out on radio 3 ,\nhe says . part of the bbc sso ' s russian winter series , performed at glasgow ' s city halls , it is the story of a man who makes a pact with the devil , with the 64 - year - old cranham playing the combined roles of the soldier , the devil and narrator .\n\u201cthe play is self - energising : it resonates on a universal level , \u201d he says , showing me a crumpled , affecting letter from a stranger who had been moved to write to cranham about his own father ' s battle with senility , after seeing the play . \u201ctoo many of us know the situation : what are we going to do about dad ? but also , i had been settling down into a series of character roles such as firs in the cherry orchard [ at the national in 2011 ] . now i ' m back playing a leading man again . \u201d\ncranham doesn\u2019t think that the much - discussed debate over posh actors \u2013 the hiddlestons and the redmaynes \u2013 and the lack of opportunity for those from less well - off backgrounds is much to worry about . \u201cit goes in cycles , \u201d he says , shaking his head . \u201cwhen i was young , the older character actors who were playing at the national were all posh . then people such as tom courtenay and albert finney came along and changed all that . i was in the next generation and fantastically fortunate to be born when i was born . looking back now , i took it all for granted . \u201d\nin 2016 , he won the olivier award for best actor in a play for his role as andre in florian zeller ' s ' the father ' . the play originated at the theatre royal bath ' s ustinov studio in the autumn of 2014 , before touring the country and transferring to the west end in the summer of 2015 , and returning to the duke of york ' s theatre in spring 2016 . the play received an unprecedented five star review from every leading national press publication , and cranham ' s performance was routinely described as ' the performance of his life ' ( whatsonstage . com ) ' .\nfrom school he went to the national youth theatre and rada . from shakespeare to pinter , from orton to chekhov , it would be quicker to list what cranham hasn ' t done in the theatre or who he hasn ' t met . if he has any advice to young actors it is to look out for remarkable writing .\nif you can , try not to get yourself manacled financially so that you have to do some terrible old rubbish early on . try to get yourself a cv of decent stuff , some good writing . i was very lucky in that i was around for the right period . a lot of it is timing .\nthe astonishment with which the father has been greeted has not , however , passed him by . \u201cmy agent said , \u2018it\u2019s not a play , it\u2019s an experience . \u2019\u201d everything in it is ever - so - slightly skew - whiff . strangers wander into the home of pyjama - clad andre , addressing him as an intimate . single roles are shared among various actors in a subtly changing set , so that the viewer , like the lead character , can never be certain of anything . where the traditional alzheimer\u2019s narrative encourages pity , the father never allows us to know more than andre . \u201cif i get it right , \u201d says cranham , \u201cyou should be on his side . \u201d\nwe are at the tricycle theatre in north - west london . wearing a black jacket and knotted blue silk scarf coupled with navy tracksuit bottoms , cranham resembles a mythical beast : the top half of no\u00ebl coward , the bottom half of danny dyer . his mouth is framed by bright white bristles , his hair short , spiky and silver . he is 70 but gets cast older . \u201cwhen they hire someone in their 80s , they tend to fall asleep on trains and miss the matinee . \u201d not that he is claiming spring -

hard to imagine her as the young , inexperienced director that broke onto the scene with my brilliant career . during her first screening at cannes , armstrong was so certain her film would bomb that she bolted out of the theatre . since then , she has established herself as a successful working director .\nwith my brilliant career ( 1979 ) , gillian armstrong became the first australian woman in 50 years to direct a film . let ' s just pause and hold onto that statistic .\nthere were three sisters in the 1930 ' s who used family money to do society dramas . one was a producer , one was a

grip , starstruck made a splash at the box office \u2013 but has been all too hard to get a hold of in the post - vhs years .\nfollowing the success of my brilliant career , armstrong directed the australian rock - musical starstruck ( 1982 ) which proved her ability to tackle more contemporary and experimental subject matter and styles .\ngillian\u2019s five documentaries on three adelaide women ( kerry , josie and diana ) , starting with smokes and lollies in 1976 and now with love lust and lies , symbolises the change to australia since the 70s . a thematic cousin to the british seven up ! series of documentaries that began in 1964 , gillian\u2019s is the only set of australian films that has gone back to the same people five times to capture not only a snapshot of those people at the time of filming but also the changes to them , their lives , lifestyles , attitudes , children and partners between each film .\narmstrong ' s last film was the 2007 british - australian co - production , death defying acts , which starred guy pearce as harry houdini and catherine zeta - jones as mary mcgarvie .\ngillian armstrong : well , the first thing was when damien approached me and i said , \u201cwho\u2019s orry - kelly ? \u201d he gave me this outlet and i saw the list of wardrobe he had made in films . my first reaction was , \u201coh my god , i can\u2019t believe it\u2019s the same person who did all these iconic films . yes , i\u2019ve seen them but i put them somewhere in the back of my mind\u2026 42 nd street and casablanca , auntie mame and so on .\nsince then i have seen all of armstrong\u2019s films as they were released and have run retrospectives of her australian films for my friends and family , though i was unaware of her work in documentary or that she has worked extensively in the us . this research is an opportunity to revisit films of my childhood and to explore the influence armstrong has had on australian cinema and culture .\n. \u201cone of the key things about being a visual artist is actually trying to remember , or to not lose , what you had in the beginning , \u201d armstrong told filmink in 2006 .\nis , well , pretty much brilliant . based on the epochal book by miles franklin , the film tells of sybylla melvyn ( judy davis ) , an early 20th century burgeoning female writer who chooses her career over marriage . the film remains gillian armstrong\u2019s best and most fully realised work , while its feminist themes ( coupled with the fact that it was the first australian feature film directed by a woman in nearly fifty years ) set the tone for the director\u2019s own groundbreaking career , which includes fine australian works such as\nin 1975 , armstrong began the first in a series of documentaries following the lives of three working class girls from adelaide over several decades \u2013 a concept similar to michael apted ' s seven up films .\n1910 - 1969 , an american in paris , behind the screen : how

collinson .\nit is easy to imagine that armstrong was filled with a similar feeling as she crafted her debut film . women filmmakers today still face an uphill battle having their work financed and distributed . at this point in time , gender parity for directors , at least in the u . s . , seems like an unrealistic dream . but at the time in which armstrong was filming , it wasn\u2019t even a matter of a few women directors fighting to get in the room to pitch their ideas to studios or struggling for financing . in armstrong\u2019s case , there was very little australian cinema to speak of and a gap of nearly 50 years separating her from the last feature length australian film directed by a woman . like her audacious main character , armstrong carved her work out of pure ambition , uncertain of the future but willing to try .\nin 1994 , armstrong achieved her greatest hollywood success with little women , starring winona ryder , susan sarandon , gabriel byrne , christian bale , claire danes and kirsten dunst . this adaptation of louisa may alcott ' s novel of the same name was one of the most popular films of the year , and emphasises armstrong ' s focus on portraying the intimate lives of strong female characters and their relationships with one another .\nms . armstrong was unimpressed with the accolades and unimpressed with herself :\ni know that making a film is a team effort , and it was only my second film . why would i want the stress and strain with a whole lot of strangers ?\nms . armstrong turned down every hollywood offer , staying in australia to make a deliberately small film about a teen - ager trying to become a rock star .\nof course , i was 11 or 12 then , but the novel seems to have grown up in the meantime - - or maybe director gillian armstrong finds the serious themes and refuses to simplify the story into a\nfamily\nformula .\nlittle women\nmay be marketed for children and teenagers , but my hunch is it will be best appreciated by their parents . it ' s a film about how all of life seems to stretch ahead of us when we ' re young , and how , through a series of choices , we narrow our destiny .\nas high - tech companies start offering women the chance to put their fertility on ice , christine armstrong talks to a range of high - flying mothers about whether it ' s best to have children early or late .\narmstrong : right . she was a woman who would throw off her hat and gloves and run outside , getting her dress dirty . and that was somewhat true of judy davis\u2019s character in my brilliant career as well .\noscar and lucinda is based on the book by australian writer peter carey and celebrates , yet again , the collaboration between armstrong , beauman , turnbull , arrighi and simpson . armstrong describes it as \u201can epic and odd love story that also deals with faith and fate and chance . \u201d ( 14 ) it begins with the lush production values of little women , demonstrating the breadth of experience these filmmakers bring to their collective craft . the cast support the story well , and armstrong once again shows her intuition for picking stars by casting ralph fiennes ( before he became famous for the english patient [ anthony minghella , 1996 ] ) as oscar , and cate blanchett as lucinda .\narmstrong\u2019s films demonstrate a diversity and breadth of story - telling . she has alternated between shooting in australia and the us , between period and contemporary drama , films for theatrical release and television and also between documentary and drama .\nwhen i made my first feature film , being a woman was all anyone ever asked me about . it really , really annoyed me and i found it quite sexist in the end . i thought , \u2018you know what \u2013 i\u2019m just me and this is a gillian armstrong film\u2019 . not all women are going to do the same films and the same stories , and i was really put in this box , because it was a feminist story in a lot of ways , they thought that\u2019s all i ever wanted to talk about . so yes , initially it was frustrating to talk about .\narmstrong ' s first feature length film , my brilliant career ( 1979 ) , an adaptation of miles franklin ' s novel of the same name , was the first australian feature length film to be directed by a woman for 46 years . armstrong received six awards at the 1979 australian film awards ( previously the australian film institute awards , or afi ' s ) , including best director and the film was nominated for an academy award in best costume design .\nher research interests are in the use of big data consumer analytics and have been supported by a range of research funders ( daera , invest ni ) . gillian has published in a range of academic journals , including the international small business journal , the journal of small business and enterprise development and was part of the ref 2014 business and management studies unit of assessment .\narmstrong has directed eight feature length dramas , two feature length documentaries and many short films . i will briefly describe the feature films of most importance to the australian film industry . further information is available through references listed in the bibliography .\nthe scones appear , finally . ms . armstrong scoops up some strawberry jam and a bit of whipped cream and sighs .\nthere ' s nothing like a fresh scone ,\nshe says before returning to the business at hand .\nwhat ' s happened to drama in the last 12 years , is that all the drama writers have left the feature industry and gone to tv and [ are ] writing for hbo , showtime and netflix ,\narmstrong says .\n\u201cif they\u2019d had an oscar for costume design before 1949 , he definitely would have outdone catherine , \u201d armstrong bets . \u201call those early films he did with bette , they would have been ringing it in . that was bad luck . \u201d\ngillian is currently head of the department of accounting , finance and economics within the ulster university business school . the department has a strong professional practice focus , whilst also ensuring active engagement in applied research . it has a staffing complement of 30 academic staff and works closely with the professional and financial services sectors to actively support the supply of skills and the attractiveness of northern ireland as a location to do business . the department\u2019s professional accreditations and reputation for high quality teaching and student support continues to secure long standing partnerships with overseas universities , particularly in china . long standing partnerships have been established with dongbei university of finance and economics ( dufe ) , south china agricultural university ( scau ) and more recently , with hebei geo university ( hui ) , where gillian is a visiting professor .\nit turns out that the pedigree behind the footage is rather illustrious . gillian armstrong of my brilliant career , oscar and lucinda and charlotte gray fame helmed the women he ' s undressed . while exploring her current concentration on documentaries , talk led to the many minor infringements that women directors endure that can accumulate to become unseen hurdles in their quest to direct film . at a time when only 6 % of films are directed by women and only one woman has won a best director oscar , ( kathryn bigelow ) , the conversation resonated , and may help to shine a light on entrenched mindsets and issues that have nothing to do with gender .\nwill the success of\nlittle women\nmean that she now has that power ? ms . armstrong answers carefully .\ni haven ' t spoken to my lawyer so i don ' t know . but certainly promotional success gives artistic power .\nwhilst mainly known for her feature length work , armstrong has also had considerable success as a documentary film maker . unfolding florence : the many lives of florence broadhurst ( 2006 ) , earned armstrong a nomination for the grand jury prize at the 2006 sundance film festival . additionally , her series of films that have documented the lives of three women she first met as teenagers in adelaide in 1975 for smokes and lollies has continued with four subsequent documentaries , all of which have been met with positive reviews .\ndespite the difficulty and randomness of this film , armstrong presents a warm , compassionate view of the lives of these women and their daughters . by the final film , she has started interviewing the next generation of children , who are by now teenagers , and the film is so emotionally compelling that one wonders how she can stop here . armstrong says this film is the final part of the series , but perhaps one day her own daughters will continue the story of the teenagers and their lives . ( 9 )\nborn in melbourne in 1950 , armstrong attended her local high school before going to swinburne technical college , originally intending to study theatre design ; however she soon found her passion in film . after completing her degree at swinburne , armstrong moved to sydney to pursue work in the film industry . despite some early setbacks she gained valuable experience as an assistant editor at kingcroft . her further education was completed when she was one of 12 students selected as the inaugural class at the australian film and television school in sydney .\n\u201cat the end of the ' 60s , suddenly there was easy rider and midnight cowboy , \u201d armstrong says . \u201ceverything was gritty , with ripped blue denim and handheld cameras . the golden age was gone and dead , bette davis and barbara stanwick were pass\u00e9 . \u201d\narmstrong was always modest when discussing her achievements but there can be no denying that she was a trailblazer for women in the film industry . prior to her success , many women were encouraged towards continuity or administrative roles . armstrong herself had to battle with many in the male dominated industry in the 1970s and 1980s . she has spoken of her frustration at all the males in her graduating class at swinburne receiving job offers from film australia and the abc . when she asked the abc for work they were only interested in her typing speed .\nkelly ' s personal life and career were each fascinating in their own right . armstrong would struggle to pack it all into a 99 - minute film .\nthe amount of work he ' s done was also extraordinary ,\nshe added . for her film , armstrong had the unenviable task of narrowing down kelly ' s 300 film resume - - including casablanca , some like it hot , and les girls - - to a few movies that best represent him .\nso to really choose the top , i think we chose , finally about 20 - 25 films ,\nshe said . throw in kelly ' s celebrity relationships - - bette davis and cary grant to name a few - - and his battles with drinking and you have what armstrong describes as ,\na very rich story .\nembarking on a detective - like mission to uncover every detail of orry - kelly\u2019s life , armstrong and her team poured over letters , interviews and biographies from contemporaries including davis , with whom he forged an enduring relationship . she considered him her right arm at warner bros .\nperhaps best known for her 1994 adaptation of little women , armstrong continues to work in film to this day , and has directed cinematic luminaries like cate blanchett , catherine zeta - jones , kirsten dunst , and diane keaton . by anyone\u2019s standards she has had a brilliant career .\narmstrong ' s research wasn ' t limited to dusty old books . she also watched countless hours of classic films in search of imagery that best represents kelly ' s talents . armstrong stated ,\ni had to start selecting clips that i thought , ' well this would be great to show his talent in this area or that area . ' i did a lot of movie watching and finally caught up with a lot the classics of the golden age . a lot of them i had never seen all the way through . that was very enjoyable .\nmade on a tiny budget and heavily subsidized by the australian film commission , the award - winning the singer and the dancer was a precocious study of the toll men take on women ' s lives that marked the onset of armstrong ' s mature style . on the strength of this and one hundred a day , producer margaret fink offered armstrong the direction of my brilliant career . daunted at first by the scale of the project and a lack of confidence in her own abilities , she accepted because she\nthought it could be bungled by a lot of men .\nthe movie may leave sybylla and the audience forever waiting and wondering as to whether she was able to write her way to a better life . but in terms of armstrong and her career , the answer is much clearer . my brilliant career became a seminal part of what was later termed the australian new wave ( a movement that also included george miller and his mad max series , the first film of which coincidentally was also released in 1979 ) . armstrong and the film went on to play in competition at the cannes film festival , something that to this day is exceedingly rare for women directors . the film would go on to be nominated for an oscar , a bafta , a golden globe and win several awards at the australian film institute ( afi ) awards including best director for armstrong making her the first of many female best director afi winners .\narmstrong , g .

well , actually , that hasn\u2019t changed . \u201d\n( 1973 ) , with its striking , well - composed black - and - white images and an atmosphere that compellingly drew audiences back into the sydney of the early 1930s . out of all 12 students , i think that gillian was always the most thorough when it came to preparing for a shoot . her attention to detail was highly impressive , and i remember one veteran cameraman telling me he had never before worked with a director so decisively able to express what they wanted .\narmstrong and her team were thrilled with the discovery , quickly polishing them up to shoot for the film . but the director confesses they\u2019d hoped to find a much - gossiped about memoir the costume designer was rumoured to have been writing . in it , kelly was said to spill the beans on his long - standing but secret friendship with actor cary grant . their relationship is at the heart of the film . \u201cit\u2019s a story about friendship and loyalty , \u201d says armstrong . \u201cit\u2019s a story about two young mates starting out and helping each other , it\u2019s about fame , money , power and homophobia . \u201d\nher quest not to be seen as more or less , but simply to be able to demonstrate her talent , reflects kelly\u2019s story . an openly gay man at a time when studios demanded that their heads of costumes departments be married , orry never hid his sexuality . that he was close friends with archie leach \u2013 the two arrived in new york together and shared an apartment for years \u2013 has led to much speculation . gillian doesn\u2019t back away from the implications that some may draw .\nso there was something , as we started to explore and find out about who was orry - kelly , he kept reminding me so much of my oldest best friend . we met at swinburne in the dark room when we were both learning photography , when we were both 18\u2026 . he died too young , four years ago . he was a wonderful photographer , an exhibition of his work was at the national portrait gallery .

acted wreckers deserves to be more than a footnote . the contentedly married dawn ( claire foy ) and david ( benedict cumberbatch ) move back to his childhood village in the fens , where david\u2019s brother nick ( shaun evans ) turns up unannounced . we read the body language quickly , and it\u2019s sexually tense .\nstill , this intelligently shot and edited film has a lot going for it , not least foy , whose pale , freckled beauty suggests something of the young isabelle huppert . she and cumberbatch , who is excellent as usual , create a marriage both tender and remote , a little scared of itself , its bedrock newly unstable .\ncrew : camera ( color , 16mm -

than - charming residents , all apparently indulging in wife - beating , incest and other crime behind closed doors . much , perhaps too much , is made by the cinematographer of country churches , stained glass and rippling fields . if only this had been pushed to the claustrophobic , darker side , the film would be more commercial .\nif hood gradually runs out of ways to bend this brittle character triangle \u2014 nick\u2019s arc is unsatisfyingly curtailed as the script shifts focus to lesser catalysts in dawn and david\u2019s marriage \u2014 she deserves credit for building and maintaining the film\u2019s impressively musty mood , as well as for drawing a trio of smart , splintery performances from her bright young leads . evans is particularly impressive in a tight , nervy turn that resists the role\u2019s potential for wild - eyed showboating .\nper press notes , hood claims to have grown up in an english village similar to the sleepy fens hamlet depicted here , and her film is clearly posited as a contempo take on a grand british tradition of rustic what -

dwellers\u2019 community - minded affectations in such environments .\nfrom the outset , dawn is the clear protagonist , and we follow her experiences and discoveries throughout . unusually , we are allowed no further knowledge into what is going on around her than she is . instead we are privy to the uncomfortable looks and unspoken tensions between david and nick behind dawn\u2019s back , heightening our unease . we are given no further understanding of the brother\u2019s relationship and the reasoning behind their feelings , and as the film proceeds we start to develop a real fear for dawn\u2019s safety , or perhaps even her sanity . she is continually pushed further and further into the tangled and murky past of the brothers lives , unable to be proactive in events as they unfold , and coming to the conclusion early on that she does not \u2018know\u2019 her husband at all , particularly when his brother remarks about his violent nature .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

good ending . good attempt to get back to basics with this genre\na series of crime reports by detective kelsey brannigan of the new york police department . as i didn ' t put in any author ' s notes on this one , to make it more realistic , i ' ll say it now : i do not own anything about the wolf among us . all rights go to telltale games .\nset during the 19th century , a small village is constantly under attack by werewolves , something that they have grown quite accustomed to as a community . in fact , it\u2019s so common that they even have a system for getting rid of those who become infected after a werewolf attack , which is to shoot them in the head and incinerate their corpse . the villagers seem to have everything under control , that is until a ferocious new breed of werewolf begins attacking the villagers , forcing the locals to hire a group of professional werewolf hunters to take out this vicious beast .\ntwo months after the events of ' wolf among us ' , bigby wolf is tired of being overworked and underappreciated . having had enough of the abrassive comments from friend and foe alike , he sets off on a well - needed vacation . can the inhabitants of fabletown cope without their rough sheriff ? will they finally realise the hardwork bigby does ? bigby certainly isn ' t waiting to find out .\nthe wolf man also influenced future filmmakers as well . cult films such as an american werewolf in london and the howling drew inspiration from the wolf man and made references to the film as well .\nthere is a pub in the west village of manhattan that at first glance is just another one of the many dive bars nyu students frequent . but this one is particularly tailored for the film school set with its low lighting , its faux - fire , and , of course , a giant life - sized werewolf devouring a peasant girl in the back . like its namesake from an american werewolf in london , the slaughtered lamb is a pub touched by the occult and supernatural\u2014it is also proof that over 35 years later horror fans can ' t shake the mark of beast left by john landis\u2019 lycanthrope classic .\nin 2014 , in a pop culture environment where \u201cmake it grim and gritty because we\u2019re ad ults ! \u201d is the default and least - inspired approach to everything innocent that ' s ever been made , the wolf among us feels right at home . that would be an insult if not for the fact that telltale games , by way of bill willingham ' s strong source material , is far too talented to waste the premise on violence and grim urban reality for its own sake .\nthe tropes often associated with the wolf man are also given a careful and grisly update . in that earlier universal horror , lon chaney\u2019s talbot had visions of wolves and the woman he loved , only to later see the pentagram ( the mark of the beast ) in spectrally manifest on her hand . however , american werewolf leaves the pentagram as a superstitious decoration for the locals at the slaughtered lamb . after david is bitten by proctor\u2019s furry boogeyman and ( barely ) lives to tell the tale , he is haunted by the kind of nightmares that might terrorize any hebrew child or grandchild of the world war ii generation .\njust on the outskirts of a town in middle europe , a family is attacked and killed by a werewolf with only the young daughter escaping with her life , though the monster is set alight by flames and returns to his human form before dying . 25 years later , the town is being terrorised by a similar beast . young daniel and eva are in love , but have to meet in secret because she is rich and he is poor . a team of skilled werewolf hunters arrives and makes plans to trap and kill the monster , and daniel decides to join them\u2026 . .\ntwenty - film years after a kid inadvertently kills the werewolf that ' s attacking his family by setting his house on fire , he finds himself in the rural town of dravicu on the hunt to kill more werewolves . meanwhile , a local doctor ' s apprentice seeks to join up with the group of werewolf hunters much to the reluctance of pretty much everybody else . the production values were a tad bit better than i expected and the acting , if over -

new supernatural untitled werewolf thriller begins principal photography in and around bucharest , romania . universal celebrates its storied history of creatures and horror with an exhilarating original adventure that embraces the popular cultural resurgence of the age - old werewolf myth . breathtaking action and nail - biting suspense collide as an army of bounty hunters descend on a tiny hamlet in search of the most terrifying monster they have ever fought . the latest entry in the hugely successful dvd originals line from universal 1440 entertainment , a production entity of universal studios home entertainment , untitled werewolf thriller will be released on blu - ray , dvd , digital download and on demand in time for halloween 2012 .\nthe wolf man was not universal ' s first werewolf film . it was preceded by werewolf of london from 1935 , starring noted character actor henry hull in a quite different and more subtle werewolf makeup . as noted previously , hull objected to having his face entirely covered in latex and hair , and a less - hirsute , more devilish version was used in the film . the film was not a huge box office success , probably because audiences of the day thought it too similar in many ways to dr . jekyll and mr . hyde , for which fredric march had won an oscar three years before . some latter - day critics prefer henry hull ' s earlier werewolf to chaney ' s , which was described in carlos clarens ' s book an illustrated history of the horror film as\n. . . looking like a hirsute cossack .\nso for what appears to be a modest production value and mostly no - name or not very well known faces , this turned out to be a great little flick to watch . is it one of the best horror movies ? no , this is an entertainment only popcornfest . so we have a cowboy type in europe and questionable early eastern european accents , there are a few moments when the cg is noticeable - though i ' ll admit the transformation scenes are decent . my only complaint for the\nwolf\nis its head shape appeared a bit flat headed or too wide . anyway good solid story structure , decent action ( it reminded me of van hellsing but actually good ) it has its serious moments when needed , never takes itself too seriously and doesn ' t go full into silliness either . i ' d recommend as something to watch on movie night with friends for entertainment or even by itself . the beast among us delivers on what it ' s selling\nthis clarity of vision stayed with american werewolf since the movie had basically stayed with landis for over a decade prior to shooting . in fact , his script , which was first written at the age of 19 in 1969 , might also be the best screenplay ever penned by a teenager .\nthis method of operation extends to the action sequences , where telltale ' s penchant for qtes gets more room to stretch , granting multiple options for handling hostile suspects and enemies as harshly as you see fit . when bigby gets to wolf out in later episodes , your options become downright brutal . these later episodes , especially the final one , fall back on the mechanic more than is necessary , and it ' s unusual to fail in a truly meaningful way , but the game is far more heavy rain than dragon ' s lair when compared to telltale ' s previous work . in essence , if you ' ve played one telltale game of late , you already know how you ' re going to take to the wolf among us .\nwhere the game and its source material diverge is in aim and tone . fables the comic is very much a product of its medium ; it ' s a series of one - off mysteries , random tales of fable life , and more traditional , comic book character studies , showcasing magic just behind the scenes of a real world . the wolf among us , on the other hand , is less a story of what legends and folklore figures would do with the real world than a straight , neon - colored allegory , a dennis lehane nursery rhyme that uses the loss of a fairy tale homeland as a jumping off point to address issues of neighborhood class struggles and possibly the best exploration of immigration that isn ' t papers , please . it ' s sobering , sad , and tense , and occasionally , it even has time to be magical .\nthe simplicity of this assessment is the strength of american werewolf in london , because the picture is most decidedly an earnest depiction of the foreboding superstitions from a world gone by , but with the kind of self - assured skepticism of the baby boomer generation facing it down . cinematic language had not quite become so intertextual that there was a need to be deconstructionist or \u201cmeta\u201d about these intentions , albeit david and jack repeatedly mention the wolf man .\nset after the events of the video game . the story focuses on bigby and him dealing with the consequences of the choices hes made and what affect its had on his relationships .\nanother universal werewolf movie - hurray ! ! sadly it ' s more action than horror & the cgi lets it down . it reminded me of the film van helsing , only here it ' s werewolves not vampires being hunted . having said that the acting is good , plenty of action & gore , but a far cry from the classics .\nwelcomed by a rather mixed critical reception upon its release ( roger ebert called it \u201cweird\u201d and \u201cunfinished\u201d while janet maslin asserted that it backfires because of landis\u2019 \u201ccallow\u2019 tone ) , this cinematic hellhound has nonetheless stomped forward through the decades , remaining not only the pinnacle for the werewolf subgenre , but also a generational touchstone for the countless horror - comedies that followed .\n( 1935 ) but hull argued that the disguise made no sense within the plot , since two characters had to recognize\ndr . glendon\neven in his werewolf form . pierce was ordered to design a second version which left more of hull ' s face recognizable . pierce then recycled his design for the 1941 film .\none of the best werewolf movies i ' ve seen in a long time outside of the wolfman ( 2010 ) . this is good werewolf film ! well worth watching ! i did not find this movie to be a cheap , quick - to - make - money flick like i expected it to be . the visual effects are good and it has an interesting story to follow . the acting is quite good as well . it ' s got a gothic feel to the movie which i adore - that really drew me closer into the film ! i was highly entertained by this film and will watch it again one day . rating : 9 . 5 / 10\nbut for all of its influential importance , american werewolf is still feels both exceedingly modern a throwback , causing it to stand as a benchmark in a style that studios have desperately and consistently failed to emulate in our post - r - rating world . at this very moment , universal pictures is trying for the umpteenth time to reboot its \u201cuniversal monsters\u201d label , now as modern action movies with a shared universe . but an american werewolf in london almost effortlessly showed how to marry the gothic with the modern over three decades ago , and it ' s still the best horror reimagining ever made .\nsome still find this choice to be a mean - spirited one by a filmmaker that kicks us while we\u2019re down , but it sums up why the movie works so well . it allows tonal dissonance to play in its favor , and has no issue combining a gothic effect with a modern sensibility . it\u2019s succinct , visceral , and still unforgettable 35 years later .\nlouis morneau ( joy ride ii , hitcher ii : i\u2019ve been waiting ) directs the nightmarish hunt through an idyllic countryside shattered by an unstoppable beast . the film is produced by mike elliott ( the devils rejects , smokin\u2019 aces 2 ) , from a screenplay by michael tabb and the writing team of louis morneau & catherine cyran . a top - flight production team has also been assembled , including director of photography philip robertson , production designer david hirschfield and costume designer oana paunescu . the editor is mike jackson .\nthe sequence actually was shot in the wee small hours of the morning just outside of the windsor castle estate . with the damp air chilled enough that 35mm cameras could actually pick up the steam escaping exposed limbs following the massacre , actor griffin dunne had to scream for his life into the night air again and again .\nthis is not a great werewolf movie , but the average rating on this site is too low . it ' s ok for a horror movie , and certainly miles beyond your typical sci - fi channel flick . there ' s an assortment of odd characters in the story , not really sure what the location is supposed to be however . there ' s a group of werewolf hunters , the leader of which seems to be a sort of cowboy , though the rest of the story setting seems to be eastern europe . it manages a little intrigue and a few surprises , so it ' s a little above average . having said that , it ' s not something that will stick with the viewer for very long .\nafter causing death and destruction throughout the circus , the local police force traps the beast in a corner . and when alex tries to reason with him , it lunges at her , only to be shot three times . instantly , david has returned to the screen , now a fresher corpse than jack , and alex is left to cry over his remains . it is a brutal moment of pure despair and without a hint of cynical detachment . landis forces audiences to wallow in the inevitable outcome that still somehow surprised , and leaves jenny agutter to sell the moment .\nhowever , his death comes back to haunt the badly injured david as not a pentagram but an actual decaying ghost . while the werewolf transformation is what won makeup artist rick baker his academy award , his most terrifying creation was the sight of a freshly shredded cadaver making small talk for only david\u2019s ears . it\u2019s also a testament to the power of understated comedy with jack rather calmly explaining to david that in order to free him and all others killed by a werewolf on this moor , david will have to commit suicide in london before he changes . but such weighty subject matters do not mean they can ' t be pleasant , right ?\nmuch like the original 1941 movie , an american werewolf in london remembers that most of these tales are heightened tragedies . and from the very beginning , the \u201981 variation is intended as a heartbreaker . the first time audiences meet protagonists david kessler ( david naughton ) and jack goodman ( griffin dunne ) , they\u2019re already lying in the back of a truck with a herd of sheep . much like the slaughtered lamb sign they\u2019re about to walk under , david and jack are babes in the meat house , unaware that their destination is oblivion .\nthis film begins promisingly enough with a werewolf wreaking havoc , but after that it kind of loses its way . fast forward a quarter of a century and another - or perhaps the same - creature is decimating a small town in nowheresville europe , or perhaps it is usa , whatever , this is an extremely powerful creature , not your run - of - the - mill\neras lupus\n, but happily a regular band of werewolf hunters happens to be passing through . there is a fair amount of gore in this film , and a confusing dream sequence , but much of the action occurs in the dark , there is though a surprising twist or three towards the end . if you can understand the last one , best write your own review .\nthe resurrected talbot seeks out dr . frankenstein for a cure , but finds the monster (\nthe gory dead bodies nearly made me throw up . the special effects aren ' t hat special . the storyline is a bit week .\n, although many later films change the last line of the poem to\nand the moon is full and bright\n. in episode 944 of\nin the original film , chaney did not undergo an on - screen transformation from man to wolf , as featured in all sequels . the lap - dissolve progressive make - ups were seen only in the final ten minutes , and then discreetly : talbot removes his shoes and socks , and it is his feet which are seen to grow hairy and transform into huge paws ( courtesy of uncomfortable\nboots\nmade of hard rubber , covered in yak hair ) . in the final scene , the werewolf does gradually become larry talbot through the standard technique .\nbut the work came to fruition , because not only is it still a breathtaking special effect ; it is also in service to a movie that had a perfect focus on what it was\u2026 while keeping audiences in enough tonal whiplash to not see the obvious bitter pill hovering over them with no glass of water in sight . supposedly , landis briefly contemplated putting dan ayrkoyd and john belushi in the lead roles of american werewolf , but two unknown , fresh - faced young men was the right call for the picture\u2019s verisimilitude .\nalso like lon chaney jr . \u2019s larry talbot , david is a stranger in a strange land ( now northern england instead of wales ) who should not be walking off the road at night . his is the path of the doomed and damned , and the film never forgets that basic through - line , which is evident in so many gothic horrors , particularly of the classic universal brand . there is no need for monster mashes , crossovers with tom cruise action scenes , or mysteries about your dad secretly being a werewolf ; the heightened passion play of a dumb american never getting to see his family again is enough to power the melodrama that underscores the scares .\n) . grabbing the vampire as he turns into a bat , the wolf man dives over a balcony into the sea , taking dracula with him .\nwait for the inevitable syfy screening . . . the ideal place for this particular brand of cheese .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia - version of the 12 / 4 / 2016 . the text is available under the creative commons attribution / share alike but additional terms may apply for the media files .\nthe synopsis suggests some exciting escalation , in a village where most of the inhabitants gradually succumb to lycanthropy ; a bit like predator , if there were exponentially more predators as the film went on . whether the film can actually pull that off on the limited scale that the trailer seems to demonstrate remains to be seen . so too does the film ' s relationship to the first one . oddly , universal seem to be both drawing a line under the wolfman while simultaneously invoking it in the very familiar - looking blue / grey misty forests of the artwork .\nuniversal pictures produced a remake of the wolf man with joe johnston directing the film and benicio del toro starring as lawrence talbot ( also producer of the film ) . the remake followed the same basic plot of the original but the story and characters were significantly altered , with anthony hopkins in a radically altered version of the claude rains role . the film was released on february 12 , 2010 and opened at # 2 at the box office that weekend . the film was met with mixed reviews and a low box office reception but won an academy award for best makeup in 2011 .\n1 : 50 \u2013 they filmed in bucharest , romania and transylvania near the home of vlad the impaler .\nthe way that landis tells it in the documentary beware the moon , he first had the idea to write the screenplay long before meeting harold ramis . he was in fact on location as an assistant director for kelly\u2019s heroes ( 1970 ) , which was filming in part of the then - yugoslavia ( now croatia ) .\nthe film was released on blu - ray disc in 2012 as part of the universal classic monsters collection , alongside many other classic universal horror films ( including frankenstein , the mummy , and the invisible man ) .\n) instead . the two square off at the climax , but the fight ends in a draw when a dam is exploded and frankenstein\u2019s castle is flooded . in\ni actually enjoyed this movie , quite a bit . sure , some things were lacking , but nothing is perfect . there ' s parts , like the others said , that are a little fuzzy - it ' s supposed to be set in a certain era , but there ' s parts of it that are obviously very modern - which i ' ll leave for you to find for yourself . there was also quite a bit of mutilated bodies and enough gore that it stood up to its genre - without being too over - the - top . the thing that made the movie for me was the fact that it had so many twists , and until the\nclick\ncame along ( the sudden understanding ) , i was constantly guessing - also - the ending is quite marvellous - i was thrilled . it doesn ' t leave you with the let - down feeling that 90 % of modern werewolf movies tend to do - this is much better than its rating suggests . so , yeah . for not being another let down as so many werewolf movies are - 9 .\nthe wolf man is one of three top - tier universal studios monsters without a direct literary source . the others are the mummy and the creature from the black lagoon . in the 1970s , novelizations of the original films were issued as paperback originals as part of a series written by\ncarl dreadstone ,\na house name pseudonym for a several writers , including british horror writer ramsey campbell .\nthe wolf man proved popular , and so chaney reprised his signature role in four more universal films , though unlike his contemporary\nmonsters ,\nlarry talbot never enjoyed the chance to have a sequel all to himself . frankenstein meets the wolf man ( 1943 ) had talbot\u2019s grave opened on a full moon night , causing him to rise again ( making him , in the subsequent films , technically one of the undead ) . the full moon , which had not been shown or mentioned in the first film , was used as a quasi - explanation for the monster ' s resurrection , and the poem known to the local villagers was retconned to mention the full moon , so that the last line became\nuntitled werewolf thriller stars stephen rea ( v for vendetta , the crying game ) , steven bauer ( scarface , primal fear ) , ed quinn ( \u201ctrue blood , \u201d \u201ceureka\u201d ) , nia peeples ( \u201cpretty little liars , \u201d \u201cwalker texas , ranger\u201d ) , guy wilson ( almost kings , little black book ) , adam croasdell ( \u201csupernatural , \u201d \u201ceast enders\u201d ) and rachel dipillo ( \u201claw & order , \u201d \u201cthe gates\u201d ) .\nvideo timeline : users can easily bring up the video timeline , allowing them to instantly access any point in the film .\nthe battle with bloody mary left many scars , and many ghosts . bigby and snow try to sort through the aftermath of the chaos while deciding where they stand in each other ' s lives . as they struggle to repair the damage , portals start to open all over fabletown , threatening not just the fables , but the entire mundy world . sequel to animals .\nthe film is referenced in the comic book screamland , where these films are pseudo - fictional in that the wolf man is a real person acting in a film of a similar name .\nis this film going to win any awards ? , no . will it keep you entertained for 90 minutes , yes it sure will . if your looking for a popcorn , creature feature then this will certainly fit the bill . there is a story ( just about ) , plenty of blood and guts and a werewolf ! ! ! i grant you it ' s a cgi monster so it ' s not all that but it does fit in with the film . the film kept my attention throughout and i genuinely enjoyed it . visually it reminded me of van helsing and the like but thats where the comparison ends as this is pretty good ! ! recommended .\nthe trouble starts when fabeltown ' s sheriff needs not just to help the strange mundy kid in searching for her mother , but also her place between the two worlds , mundies and fables .\nthe premise is this : the land in which all the figures of fairy tales and folklore reside has been overrun ( by a shadowy figure called the adversary , oddly not mentioned in the game ) , forcing a mass exodus into the mundane - - i . e . , human - - world . the vast majority of them settle in fabletown , conveniently located in manhattan , and you follow the efforts of fabletown ' s elite and its sheriff , bigby wolf , to keep this new home from falling apart .\nafter reading some of the reviews , i was convinced that i would enjoy this film . i wasn ' t wrong at all . the characters were fun and interesting and the story was quite good at keeping me guessing all the way until the final act when yet another surprise was sprung upon the viewers . the scenery is quite good and the music compliments the movie . the actors all pull their weight and their are some really good fight scenes . i will be adding this to my collection . if i had seen this in a theater , i would have been happy to see this in a theater . i think it was a lot better than the crap that has been regurgitated over and over again .\nfrom the tropical seas to the snarky suburbs to the zombie apocalypse , chris watters is the veteran of many telltale games adventures . he likes finding a way to fit in to new roles and new worlds , and generally plays nice with his new virtual friends .\ndue to the 2010 remake performing below expectations at the box office , universal chose not to produce a sequel . universal ' s 2012 film\n\u201cwe were in the queen\u2019s backyard , and i kept picturing the queen trying to get some sleep while hearing this kid just being savagely murdered take after take after take , \u201d dunne mused in beware the moon .\nthere are a few interesting ideas strewn throughout the somewhat boring story , most of which have to do with the mythology that comes with the werewolves . the film also features some nice looking costuming and a gorgeous setting , which is not at all a surprise as the film is primarily shot in romania . unfortunately , however , the location is never really utilized to its potential as there is no real atmosphere to speak of , which is really a shame considering the location is as atmospheric as it gets .\nin the 1975 spanish horror film la maldici\u00f3n de la bestia , written by and starring paul naschy , one of the characters is called larry talbot .\nit wasn ' t great . i ' m not even sure if it made good . but if you were looking for a cheap park your brain and have fun blood and guts violence movie with some eastern european charm and don ' t mind utterly flawed props , this will do . the cast is hardly sterling . we have nathan stark from eureka in the lead . but that was good enough . in this land of transylvania and cowboy hats , we have the mysterious vampire hunter in a cowboy hat along with the macho chick and their sidekicks , going after the super bad ones . it ' s obviously romania from things like signs being in romanian and the reward poster being in the romanian money . ( 10 , 000 lei ) what ' s more out of place are the anachronisms in the firearms . the rifle the hunter carried was a round receivered mosin nagant rifle . they started producing them in 1930 and that gun looks like a post war ii version . the revolver he carried was a post war smith and wesson . the mauser rifles the gypsies had were k98 ' s , which were from world war ii . despite the historical stupidities and the iffy cgi , it was fun .\non april 27 , 2004 , universal released the wolf man on dvd as part of the universal legacy collection . this two disc edition included four films :\nand that\u2019s it . also like the wolf man and a dozen other universal horror movies , it ends there at the height of drama , which in this case is deep anguish . but whereas those older films would almost cut short , likely due to economic reasons , landis seems unconcerned with giving the audience whiplash . in fact , it improves the film if he can turn the knife one last time and deliver a final sucker punch while we\u2019re feeling low . thus alex\u2019s wails are abruptly stopped as the film cuts to black and the marcels\u2019 upbeat doo - wop cover of \u201cblue moon\u201d begins , oblivious to the viewer\u2019s vulnerability .\nwell - done horror film with a slight twist on the genre . a good cast and pre - century setting make the film more credible . the film is interesting in the sense it plays like a ' who - done - it ' mystery instead of a straight - forward horror . the editing is great , and i loved the music , photography and eerie atmosphere , as well . there never really is a dull moment , and has a great twist ending .\nsometime in the early twentieth century , after learning of the death of his brother , larry talbot ( lon chaney , jr . ) returns to his ancestral home in llanwelly , wales to reconcile with his estranged father , sir john talbot ( claude rains ) . while there , larry becomes romantically interested in a local girl named gwen conliffe ( evelyn ankers ) , who runs an antique shop . as a pretext to converse with her , he purchases a silver - headed walking stick decorated with a wolf . gwen tells him that it represents a werewolf ( which she defines as a man who changes into a wolf\nat certain times of the year .\n)\n4 : 05 \u2013 talks about signing the long - term contract with showtime .\nif ibooks doesn ' t open , click the ibooks app in your dock .\nno spam , no fuss ; just the latest updates delivered right to you .\nlon chaney , jr . would reprise his classic role as\nthe wolf man\nin four sequels , beginning with frankenstein meets the wolf man in 1943 .\n, christopher pennock ( as jeb hawkes ) recites this version of the poem .\nultraviolet \u2122 : the revolutionary new way for consumers to collect movies and tv shows , store them in the cloud , and instantly stream and download to tvs , computers , tablets and smartphones . consumers can now truly enjoy their movies anytime , anywhere on the platform of their choice . currently available in the united states only .\nhere\u2019s the synopsis , trailer and the images . also , last year i was on set when they were filming , so look for some exclusive video interviews soon .\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 .\nstories about the make - up and transformation scenes have become legendary , and are mostly apocryphal . the transformation of chaney from man into monster was laborious . the series of makeups took five to six hours to apply , and an hour to remove .\n3 : 30 \u2013 ray donovan centers on a celebrity fixer who cleans up problems before the paparazzi catch wind . schreiber plays the title character while bauer plays his partner .\nsure , these characters had a knowledge of the hokey stuff from the old hollywood movies that their generation grew up watching on tv , but what they faced was no deconstruction of those tropes\u2014it ' s a defiant embrace of them . hence when the supernatural folklore is unironically presented with complete conviction to two characters who wouldn\u2019t have been out of place at the delta tau chi fraternity , or as caddies for chevy chase and ted knight , it is both darkly humorous and shockingly grim . the laughing stops and the stomach - churning commences .\nresemble [ s ] a second - tier badass action flick from the mid - 1980s .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

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

stars look , act , and dress depending on the occasion . so when sreelekha , lying on her hospital bed , turns away from\ni would turn to tolly lights , not merely because it was his debut feature film as director , but also because he had made a film that he was proud of , and had assumed that anyone who watched the films in which he acted would automatically want to watch a film that he has directed . he now realises that he was perhaps misguided in so thinking , and ought to have taken the conventional route \u2013 called a press conference , and done significant groundwork in explaining what his film was all about . later , when he found reviewers criticising his film without any real logic to support their criticism , he realised that they had missed his point altogether . so here\u2019s what he want to say to them\u2026\n\u201cin tolly lights , the protagonist abhimanyu is unpolluted , and uncorrupted , just like people from the hills , where he comes from . i wanted to concentrate on realistic details like the look of abhimanyu\u2019s flat ( bare and stark because it\u2019s a borrowed and hence temporary dwelling and bears no imprint of abhi\u2019s personality ) , or the difference in the look of the bedroom before and after krishnakali is forced to leave her husband and son , or the extreme oppressiveness of the hovel that geeta dey\u2019s character lives in . once the film released , i was really taken aback when not a single review mentioned these aspects , not even the flattering ones . and just by the way , if a review is flattering without giving any reason why , it is as meaningless to me as an illogically negative one . \u201d\n\u201cgulzaar saab gave tolly lights 11 . 5 out of 10 , which more than made up for the lack of comprehension i noticed in many people . and colleagues like mithun chakraborty , swapan saha and sunny deol made guest appearances free of cost . in fact , sunny\u2019s father dharmendraji asked me to shoot my scene with sunny inside his ( dharamji\u2019s ) pajero , which nobody is supposed to have access to . even sunny was surprised when he learnt about it . and as sunny and i shared a laugh over the whole thing , i kept thinking back to the time when , as a college student in udaipur , rajasthan , i was the only one in my class who didn\u2019t turn up to watch dharamji shoot at a nearby location , because i was too proud to do so . when i told dharamji this story many years later , he laughed forever . \u201d\nsreelekha mitra is on a high . she\u0092s all over tv playing wife to saif ali khan in a lays ad , four years after becoming aamir khan\u0092s bangali bou in a coke commercial .\n\u0093it was great working with aamir ; with saif it was more fun . saif is like most of his screen characters \u0097 funny and always cracking jokes . he told me \u0091 aami ektu ektu bangla bolte pari \u0092 . . . he liked my attitude to work and asked me to work more in bollywood ! \u0094 gushes sreelekha , who got a call from parineeta maker pradeep sarkar to do the ad . \u0093i had done the coke ad with him . pradeep da is very fond of me and i respect him a lot . . . . we shot for two days in bangkok . \u0094\nback home , sreelekha is looking forward to arjun chakraborty\u0092s directorial debut tollylights , where she plays screen sizzler krishnakali . and if the posters are anything to go by , sreelekha is too hot to handle .\n\u0093the picture that shows me hugging a man is a poster shot and i was wearing a backless top . it\u0092s no big deal ! nowadays , we see so many women wearing off - shoulder tops on city streets . i too wear such clothes off - screen . and i don\u0092t mind shedding clothes for meaty roles , \u0094 smiles sreelekha .\ntollylights focuses on krishnakali\u0092s trials and tribulations . \u0093she goes through a lot to be an actress . and then one day her reel and real lives merge ; they become one . i\u0092m not going to reveal more . . . . i knew the script needed me to do some bold scenes . arjun had told me before we started shooting . but the film is for everyone ; it\u0092s not an adult film with steamy scenes only . \u0094\nthe backless poster shot is not all ; sreelekha even soaks in a bathtub . \u0093though it looks daring , i was very comfortable as i was wearing a sari ! the scene was necessary to depict krishnakali\u0092s loneliness . and not just me , my family didn\u0092t have any problem either . i had done much more in kantataar ( read , foreplay and lovemaking ) . as an artiste i shouldn\u0092t have inhibitions , \u0094 says miss bold & beautiful .\nthe comedy of errors starring prosenjit , arunima and pauli has entered the second week , riding the semi -

year - old sister who is with me in india . incidentally , she has played the role of my younger version in mayilu . i am very close to my family and my family is very important to me . i have always wanted to act from my younger days and my parents have been encouraging right from the start .\nmy first film is priyadarshan sir\u2019s kanchivaram . industry talks that i have done a good job . perhaps , this could be a reason . kanchivaram and mayilu had good reviews and i was committed to these two films at the same time . this could be one of the reasons . many people had come to narrate scripts but i liked malayan . when i was completing malayan , i got maathi yosi offer from nanda periyasamy . these two offers were too interesting and i signed . beyond all that , i think i am plain lucky . that\u2019s all .\nmayilu has gained significance for it\u2019s tight or should we say well - planned schedule ? this prakash raj production , directed by jeevan , was shot entirely in usilmapatti village in a single schedule . the shooting for this film , which commenced on 2nd october , concluded within 45 days . the postproduction work is underway and the film will hit the screens soon . producer prakash raj is all smiles and praised director jeevan\u2019s planning and execution of the project as this has reduced the costs considerably . kudos to director jeevan , he now has a lesson for other directors wanting to get into the producer\u2019s good books .\nas far as i could remember , i was always interested in acting . my mom tells me that i had expressed my desire to act when i was three years old . the yearning was there but i thought it would take a while to realize my dreams as i was in us . i thought of trying my luck in filmdom after i complete graduation . i am a trained bharathnatyam dancer and used to take classes whenever we come to chennai during vacation . during one of such trips , i did a photo shoot which fetched me mayilu . it was completely unexpected . it just happened and i am very happy about it .\nseems wasted . it has very little relevance with the film itself . the title character is nothing to rave about and is downright silly . the climax sticks out like a sore thumb and does not give you the shock that it was intended to . for such a climax to work you need the audience to invest their time in the lead character . but here you are least bothered about mayilu . the love track lacks soul and is a complete letdown . this is the major drawback of the film . you even wonder whether the two leads are actually in love with each other . apart from a few scenes of physical intimacy there is nothing that would make us believe so .\ncopyright disclaimer under section 107 of the copyright act 1976 . all the songs at starmusiq . com are for listening purposes only . making duplicate audio cd ' s from mp3 files is illegal . allowance is made for\nfair use\n. therefore please kindly support us by buying original version of audio cd ' s from your local retailer . all the rights are reserved to the audio company . the owner of this website cannot held liability for any illegal usage of the contents . any disclaimer , please click here to contact us .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nsuffers from lack of a cohesive plot . it looks like some random collection of scenes heading nowhere . the title which has great recall value due to\nshammu ( of kanchivaram fame ) does a decent job . she is supposed to be the tomboyish and loud mouthed girl who is tender at heart . but her character seems half baked and suffers from lack of credibility . newcomer sri has a long way to go and he has to improve his histrionics . he seems expressionless for the most part and seems a miscast . none of the cast actually stays in your mind . the comedy track of ganja karuppu is outdated and viddharth seems wasted in a miniscule role . ( this was probably shot long before myna ! ! ! )\ncinematographer turned film maker jeevan is responsible for story , screenplay , dialogue , lyrics , cinematography and direction . apart from his core competency as the man behind the lens , he does not impress a lot in the other areas . music by illaiyaraja is the only saving grace of the film . the songs fit the rural milieu and a couple of them are hum worthy . but that\u2019s about it . they cannot save the film any further . it is never a good sign when you are waiting for the film to end even before the intermission .\nthis is jeevan\u2019s second directorial venture after gnabagangal ( with pa . vijay as the lead ) . his intention was probably to make a realistic rustic tale with a climax that tugs your heart . but mayilyu neither entertains nor engages .\nmovies this week : mr . chandramouli , pantham & my s . . .\nsteve ditko co -

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

the shift with ease . black levels and shadows are spot - on and fleshtones remain consistent throughout . even better , the film boasts a striking amount of depth and detail never succumbing to any

it , it ' [ s an action film first and foremost and it takes liberties to make this enjoyable for the viewer . the film had some good ideas as far as the story is concerned , but it kind of feels rushed a bit too . centurion should have been better and though i found it entertaining , i really felt something was missing to make this a truly memorable film . the film is worth seeing due to well constructed action , which the film has plenty of , and the performance of michael fassbender . however , the plot just seems unfocused at times , and it loses steam halfway through the film , and that ' s where the action really makes you forget that the film average . the film is no gladiator , and it should be seen as mindless popcorn action , which is what in the end this film is about .

[ 2 ]\ntravis has been a part of the st . louis pop culture scene since his days as a heavy metal singer . always a fan of horror , comics , and games travis started his own personal blog about the st . louis\nnerd\nlife back in 2000 . he soon started his own radio program\nthe gutter\nin 2006 which featured various types of metal music along with news on the horror industry . he is still active in the st . louis music and pop culture scene and is known by many .\n. it seems as if the film industry is doing everything it can to warn people that the world is a strange and dangerous place where there are black market organ dealers , psychopathic murderers or people who want to kidnap you and sell you so that you can be mutilated and killed by rich foreigners . the latest across my path is\ngoing by the opening scene , i half expected that director marcos efron was going to take the film in a hostel / saw direction but , thankfully , that proved not to be the case and it stuck much more to the mystery / thriller direction of the original . the principal cast , with amber heard and odette yustman ( herself no stranger to horror , having played the lead in\neveryone in front of and behind the camera look and feel like they ' re lifting the heaviest , least horrifying ton of bricks invented .\ni ' m not surprised by the lowish rating this film has gotten , but it ' s a hate it or love it type of film . i ' ve not only seen pattinson in the twilight movies but also in water for elephants and i think he ' s a decent actor . that being said , this movie does have a certain clich\u00e3 ( c ) feel to it , but i enjoyed it nevertheless . tyler hawkins relationship with his father and sister had a lot of depth and of course the ending for me was also heartfelt . i would say give this film a chance at least once .\nthere ' s not a single scare or fright during the film ' s first hour . but worse , the characters don ' t even feel fleshed out ( or real ) during the opening act , either . instead , we just follow around two girls as they mingle , dance , ride their bikes , sunbathe , talk about boyfriends and get into a fight . finally , the film picks up somewhat once karl urban enters the picture , but again , his character is such a throw - away , you ' ll wonder why urban even opted to do this film in the first place .\nthe film begins in 2008 , and follows the wikileaks founder ' s ascent from underground hacktivist to international terrorist , in the eyes of washington , or swashbuckling cyberhero to his admirers . it focuses on the intensely complex and ultimately soured friendship between assange and his righthand man , a german hacker called daniel domscheit - berg , as well as his wary and ultimately fractured relationship with the guardian . but it ends before the allegations of rape in sweden saw him arrested , jailed and held under house arrest for a year , and before his flight to asylum and indefinite captivity in ecuador ' s london embassy .\nwhile the first trailer credited simon pegg and doug jung , it also credited roberto orci , john d . payne , and patrick mckay . the second trailer only credited pegg and jung .\naccording to trekmovie . com , the film would be shot primarily in vancouver , british columbia , canada , which would also be used for outside filming locations .\nthe threadbare plot betrays the film\u2019s decent production values ; the photography is nice and makes good use of the film\u2019s exotic locations . the camera also loves the eye candy that\u2019s flaunted before it in the form of the two lead actresses , who also manage to do their best with what the script gives them . heard is the more reserved and shy of the two , while yustman is the drunken floozy who grows so annoying that her abduction can\u2019t come quickly enough . karl urban has carved out a niche as an action star , but here he\u2019s the requisite male star who manages to drum up just enough charisma to carry his part of the story . it\u2019s not much , but he and heard at least emerge to be capable leads to see the story through to its predictable conclusion .\nsign up for a fanalert and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nin the chaos of battle , when the ground beneath your feet is a slurry of blood , puke , piss and the entrails of friends and enemies alike , it ' s easy to turn to the gods for salvation . but it ' s soldiers who do the fighting , and soldiers who do the dying , and the gods never get their feet wet .\nin an interview published on 6 may 2013 , michael giacchino expressed he was open to return to score the film , saying ,\ni\u2019d be happy and honored to do another if that was in the future .\n[ 25 ]\nat one point during the third act , the tone turns from\nsuspense\nto a sort of action / adventure . almost like john rambo waking up kidnapped and tied up on a boat . . . then he fumbles around for the handy prop that happens to be in reach in which to club one of the bad guys and jump off the boat in which to swim speedily to shore where he paints himself with mud and hides in the darkness waiting for the rest of the vietcong to show up so that he can stab him in the ass with his shank . actually . . . except for the mud . . . that ' s probably a good description of what happens in the final act . i would ' ve put a spoiler warning if it weren ' t for the fact that you ' ll pretty much know what will happen anyway as you watch this film .\nstephanie ( amber heard ) and ellie ' s ( odette yustman ) vacation to an exotic village in argentina is a perfect ' girl ' s getaway ' to bask in the sun , shop and flirt with the handsome locals . after a long night of bar - hopping , the girls get into an argument , and stephanie heads out alone in the morning to cool off . but when she returns , ellie has disappeared . finding signs of a struggle , stephanie fears the worst , and turns to the police for help . but the local authorities have their hands full already - with a string of unsolved kidnappings targeting young female tourists . skeptical of the sheriff ' s competency , she enlists help from michael ( karl urban ) , an american ex - pat staying at their hotel . together they go on a frantic search for ellie , but stephanie soon realizes that trusting his seemingly good intentions may drag her farther from the truth . with danger mounting , and time running out , stephanie must find her friend before darkness falls . -

the - teen time - waster that could be his worst film ever . and considering 2005 ' s wretched cursed , that ' s pretty bad .\na remake of the 1970 ' s british thriller of the same name . the original is set in france and has two british females as the leads , whereas the remake is set in argentina and has two american females as the leads . see more \u00bb\nhad assange persuaded him to pull out , cumberbatch would not now be looking at a likely oscar nomination . i watched the film directly before our interview , and his portrayal is so convincing that at the end i felt a moment of genuine confusion and thought i was about to meet assange himself .\n. when you select special features , there are only two options : trailer and deleted scenes . the menu itself is nicely designed with the options easy to navigate and with some fairly bassy and ominous music playing in the background .\nan interesting point of comparison is opening night ( john cassavetes , 1977 ) , where portions of the film are set during live stage performances , with the camera positioned both off - stage as well as in the thick of the on - stage action .\nthe film has a resigned bitterness , hard to shake off , that feels right for the experience of tough guys , from whatever period of history , who find themselves at the tattered edge of what they take to be civilization .\n, a remake of the 1970 british horror film of the same name , begins in a dark cellar where a young woman in a bikini , who has clearly been beaten , is chained to the wall and is doused in water before being electrocuted by a man with a generator and a couple of wires . four months later , and american friends stephanie and ellie are about to begin their cross - country bicycle tour in argentina .\nthose who donated would receive prizes , as well as a greater chance of winning a walk - on part in the film for them and a friend , depending on the amount they give . j . j . abrams previously announced a similar campaign ,\nin terms of the picture quality , there is no heavy graining but some scenes have some slight surface grain which suits the film extremely well . detail level is very high and colours are vibrant and strong , from the lush greens of the vegetation to the bright blue skies and colours on people ' s clothing . contrast levels are also very good so that when it comes to a low light scene , such as in the bar , there is no loss of detail despite the dark interior .\nthe way the film develops won ' t come as any surprise to anyone who ' s seen the original but , for everyone else , it is an interesting and well worked exercise in tension and character development . you ' re never quite sure exactly who is on stephanie ' s side and whether they are genuinely friendly or are hiding some horrible ulterior motive , whether some people are in cahoots or just strangers and how things will resolve themselves in the final act .\nspock prime ' s date of death is listed on screen as stardate 2263 . 02 , ostensibly the same day as 2263 . 2 , when kirk records his captain ' s log early in the film .\nthe drink that mccoy dismisses when he finds kirk drinking is saurian brandy , the preferred drink of kirk and mccoy in the original series .\n( at around the 8 minute mark ) when the man is watching the two girls cycling past him on the road , the camera and camera operator can clearly be seen reflected in his sunglasses .\nin april 2014 , it was revealed roberto orci had been lobbying to direct the film , but paramount was reluctant to allow him , as he had never directed before . however , bad robot and skydance productions were supportive . [ 33 ]\nwith the enterprise crippled and helpless , several of the attacking ships latch on , and a boarding party commanded by the swarm ' s leader , krall , boards the ship . they make their way to the ship ' s vault , and on the way there krall captures and drains the life force from several enterprise crewmen , leaving them as withered husks . scott attempts to restore power to the ship ' s impulse drive by feeding it from the warp core , but krall orders the swarm to resume its attack . they destroy the neck section of the enterprise , separating the saucer and engineering hulls , and leaving the saucer powerless due to scott ' s modifications , leaving no way of switching over to the saucer ' s reserve power without a separation . spock and dr . mccoy are in a turbolift car that is ejected into space and subsequently captured by a swarm craft , but they managed to get into the craft and overpower its occupants .\nmarshall shows off the breathtaking landscape , but with interiors , he populates the ale houses and encampments with cliches .\nthe posters featuring sulu and uhura had to be re - released following a gaffe that placed their insignia on the wrong side of the uniform .\ntypical 3rd world vacation horror story fare but the scenery was pretty interesting . the bad guys are extra creepy and the girls are sorta hot .\nthe working title for this sequel was\nwashington\nand\nwashington project\n.\nas krall departs for starbase yorktown , kirk , mccoy , spock , and jaylah rescue the crew before repairing the franklin and also setting a course for the starbase . spock and mccoy beam aboard an attacking drone ship and discover a way to disrupt the drones ' cohesion , allowing the franklin and the starbase to destroy much of the drone fleet using discordant noise on a very high frequency ( vhf ) , provided courtesy of jaylah ' s collection of\nclassical\nlate 20th century music .\nit is a shame that there aren ' t more extra features on the disc than the trailer and four deleted scenes as an interview or commentary with the filmmakers would have been interesting as i would like to know why they decided to remake the original british film , when they first saw it , why argentina and various other aspects of the filmmaking process . that being said , the av quality is extremely good so this is at least worth a rental .\nkirk goes to separate the saucer from the neck but krall attacks him before kirk can initiate the separation . uhura goes on to separate the saucer and gets left behind with krall in the neck section while kirk is on the saucer side .\nin january , he flew out to iceland to begin filming . the man he was to play had by then been under police guard in the ecuadorian embassy for more than six months , and had ignored all requests by the actor to meet . the very day before shooting began , just as he was having the final tests for his wig and makeup , cumberbatch received a 10 - page email urging him not to make the film . it was from assange .\nyou won ' t be disappointed . the set - up is very slow and plodding , but the last hour is one of the most atmospheric and tense i ' ve ever seen . i really felt for jane after she loses her friend while on a biking holiday in france . i was annoyed at first , but then glad , that there are no sub - titles for the french speaking people . jane doesn ' t speak french well either , so her helplessness and frustration translated to me extremely well . i felt her situation was very real . the story keeps you guessing about who to trust and who not to trust . also , the whole movie takes place in one day during the daytime , so the title takes on extra meaning as jane tries to find the truth . as darkness approaches , she loses more and more hope her friend is alive . its really cool . i give it 8 out of 10 ."]}

minute running time for stan and ollie to get there . this is mostly due to a pair of standalone gags executed along the way .\n. \u201cshe had a real intuition about me , and not since my own mom had anybody really had my number . she really understood my tastes , and my ambition , and my fear , my anxiety about wanting to do everything by thursday morning . \u201d\ni read quite a few mysteries so the believability of the characters and the plot are important to me . that is one reason i have virtually given up on cozies . however , i have also noticed that even procedurals are starting to add more and more about the private lives of the detectives involved . i don ' t mind some information , but too often they go overboard so the mystery is lost in the problems of the detective . in fact , one plot device that seems to be current is the death of one of the team members . one other thing that bothers me is that some authors seem to feel that their detectives need to be perfect , with abilities that ' astound ' their colleagues or hunches that always prove to be right , but i prefer the detectives who can admit to being wrong occasionally . i am sure authors do this to move the story along , but as stories ( regrettably ) become longer and longer , i tend to lose interest and just want to get to the end . in fact , i sometimes just look at the end , and call it a day .\nwhen the detectives realize the slasher is in the house , stan repeatedly jumps on ollie\u2019s back in fear , preventing him from leaving the bedroom . when ollie finally manages to get the door open stan ends up missing ollie\u2019s back and jumping right through the door and on top of the judge\u2019s wife !\nsusan wrote :\ni enjoy nordic noir , but they often have some of the most angst ridden detectives , in my opinion .\ni ' ve just listened to the episode of the podcast a stab in the dark where mark billingham talks to anne cleeves and yrsa sigurdardottir where they discuss nordic noir .\nthe bowlers appear here because they were traditional headgear for detectives at that time , almost a badge of authority like a sheriff ' s stetson . i think i even remember some private eyes wearing bowlers in the stooge shorts ( i can ' t pin down any specific titles ) even though by the ' 30 ' s men ' s fashion in general had moved to the fedora . l & h ' s keeping the derbies forever after was a stroke of genius that made them iconic , motivation unknown , though by the ' 40 ' s they were wearing a lot of fedoras as well .\nwhat ' s the plot ?\nthe tipton slasher\nplans an evil plot to escape from jail and stan and oliver , detectives , are supposed to get the tipton slasher with violent , disastrious results . when the slasher pulls out a very violent knife , you know that this isn ' t a comedy .\ni think it depends what mood i am in . i like dark , depraved crime as well as the more gentle type . i enjoy european crime - not only nordic noir , but there is a lot of good crime fiction coming out of france , germany , etc . at the moment .\ni think fusco knows a little bit . but he probably assumes harold does a lot more than he actually does . the rest of the team probably figure he ' s safer the less he knows about it . especially since samaritan came online and would pick out fusco in a heartbeat if he were overheard .\nthat dress viola richard is wearing doesn ' t do much to hide her cleavage in certain shots . in one shot when she welcomes the boys into the house , she is standing on the right of the frame and leaning slightly forwards . this shot reveals a pretty good look at her backside too !\noh , and for my overall rating , i ' m going to go just a bit under metal ' s rating and rate this movie a 6 . 5 . in other words , i do not recommend watching this movie , except for the historic value , because at times this movie drags slow .\nhe knows they ' re doing good and helping people and there ' s another group of people out opposing them , if not their mission / goals , i think he ' ll be a little pissed , but will ultimately see that keeping him in the dark about the big picture let him stay under the radar .\nthough they were a few films away from becoming an official team , stan and ollie are here closer to being stan and ollie than ever before . they are a bit more well - groomed than their familiar selves ; but as this film marks the first appearance of the derbies and the traditional costumes , many fans think of\nso , as the title might suggest , in my opinion these things are all related . there ' s a very fine line between plagiarism and the rest of them , and i was wondering if anyone has some guidelines to follow . i ' ve always liked reading literature that would tastefully reference something obscure that i ' ve read or seen in the past . the question is , how do you do it tastefully . when does it become excessive ? i really like putting subtle and quirky shout - outs and homages to obscure things , but it seems like references can be closer to plagiarism . when does it become plagiarism ?\n) who sentenced him . laurel & hardy , inept employees of a private detective agency , are assigned to guard him . waylaying the judge ' s new butler , the killer gets into his house in that guise . prowling the house with huge knives and swords , young misses several opportunities to kill his intended prey , and adds the detectives to his list of victims when they continually get in his way . eager only to avoid him , and by now totally unconcerned by their mission to protect the judge , the boys do , by a fluke , capture him after all and after turning him over to the law , leave , bowing modestly and gracefully as they exit .\n\u201cwait , there is one way to find out . we set up a sting . you know like abscam . like abscam jerry . \u201d \u2014kramer \u201cwhat are you gonna do ? you gonna put on a phony beard and dress -

' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i\u2019d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that\u2019s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , \u2018if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i\u2019m not going to do it . ' george fought for me , and for himself because he agreed with me . \u201d\nhis missing - persons investigation has just turned up a body in the woods \u2013 naked , hands tied behind its back , and a bin bag duct -

- such as the golden age and like ellery queen were focused on the murder ( s ) itself . there wasn ' t much of a background on the detective . i like the leaphorn / chee mysteries because get to know the detectives and the mysteries they solve become intertwined with their lives . on the other hand , i don ' t mind a pure mystery with fair play and everything that is expected because then it is a puzzle to me . good mysteries can be literary . i just read\nred harvest\nagain by dashiell hammett , which must be blueprint for every private eye novel , and event though are several mini - mysteries in the book , the detective does undergo a change in the book which to me is closer to literary . i think ross mcdonald ' s lew archer books are both mysteries and literary because of the observations he makes and the people he encounters .\nthat\u2019s what laurel and hardy play this time : detectives . \u201cferdinand finklebery\u201d and \u201csherlock pinkham\u201d ( thankfully , the names are mentioned only once ) . they\u2019re charged with guarding the home of judge foozle ( jimmy finlayson ) and his dishy wife ( viola richard ) against a throat - slashing escaped con bent on revenge . finlayson , a regular foil for laurel and hardy , looks a little like chester conklin here . the killer ( noah young ) looks like mr . hyde . the wife looks just right .\n\u201ci think it\u2019s time that chappy got read in , the fusco got read in , \u201d plageman says . \u201cgiven the circumstance of where we ended up in the finale , where he was involved in the t - bone accident where dominic and elias were both shot , there\u2019s going to be a lot of questions for detective fusco . when the heat starts turning on him , then he\u2019s going to start to ask his own questions and want to know what\u2019s going on . \u201d\nbetsy wrote :\none other thing that bothers me is that some authors seem to feel that their detectives need to be perfect , with abilities that ' astound ' their colleagues or hunches that always prove to right ,\nperfect in their intuition and deductions , but so very imperfect in their own lives . i don ' t want every detective to be an alcoholic loner , with ptsd and a shady romantic liaison . . . who , as you say , will probably be fridged to raise the stakes .\nrather than being a star vehicle , jimmy finlayson and noah young are afforded nearly as much screen time as stan and ollie . both are excellent in their roles , and leave more of an impact than supporting players in l & h films usually do . it ' s more a good film than a good laurel and hardy film . but as it marks the first real appearance of the boys , it was the most important film they had made to date .\ni don ' t think plagiarism must necessarily be intentional , though . certainly it ' s at its worst and most obvious when it is . but if you know a novel or story very well , and it inspires you , and have read it enough that it lies in your subconscious . . . i think it ' s perfectly possible that you could accidentally write a passage that ' s almost word - for - word similar to something you ' ve read and admired before without realizing it . it ' s never happened to me before with novels , but i write songs in my spare time off from writing , and i ' ve certainly written a lyric that i later realized i ' d lifted from a song i ' d heard before ( and changed it , of course ) . or a composed a melody that i thought was good and original , only to listen to a song and realize crap ! that ' s where it came from !\nplot : when judge foozle ( james finlayson ) sentences \u201cthe tipton slasher\u201d ( noah young ) for his heinous crimes , the murderer vows revenge . when the slasher escapes prison , the judge hires two private detectives ( laurel & hardy ) to guard him . the pair must survive an encounter in a graveyard on the way to the judge\u2019s house , and then must face the judge\u2019s butler \u2013 who has been knocked out and replaced by the slasher ! can stan & ollie bring this killer to justice without being scared to death ?\nas you ' ve probably surmised from the marketing , tracy morgan and bruce willis are partners , detectives who don ' t do things by the book . cop out doesn ' t have opening credits ( a move which i give extra points for ) , we ' re just delivered instantly to an interrogation where t - morg is doing his thing . it should be said ( and so i ' ll write it ) that mr . morgan is one funny fellow . he ' s transcendent in 30 rock and of the 20 total laughs the movie contains , a good 75 percent come from morgan just riffing . the script itself seems relatively unfunny , and if they hadn ' t cast morgan my guess is they just would have given up on the project altogether . bruce willis comes off less great - - replacing him with a statue or inflatable doll might have provided more oomph - - and seann william scott is largely unused in what amounts to a cameo ( regardless of what the trailers indicate ) .\nwritten and filmed may , 1927 . released by pathe , july , 1927 . produced by hal roach . directed by fred guiol . story by hal roach . two reels . cast : stan laurel , oliver hardy , james finlayson , noah young , frank brownlee , will stanton . story : a murderer ( young ) vows revenge on a judge ( finlayson ) for sentencing him to death , so the judge hires two private detectives ( laurel and hardy ) for protection . the gumshoes bungle their way along , but manage to capture the criminal .\nthat\u2019s a great image . it\u2019s the quintessential cowboy . it also does not fit the actual story at all , for one simple reason : roland ( pictured above ) never wears a duster . but the image of the badass gunslinger is so prevalent in the minds of the audience that everyone ( including me ) thinks of him as wearing one . throughout most of the series , however , he wears either a deerskin vest or a blue chambray shirt . we think of him in the duster because of the cowboy myth .\nguardians of the galaxy vol . 2 picks up right where its predecessor left off both story - wise and in regard to its timeline . just a few months or so after the a - holes saved the galaxy and became a family , peter quill , drax , gamora , rocket , and groot embark on a new adventure that does something most sequels don\u2019t really do . rather than go bigger and double down on beloved set pieces of the first film , guardians of the galaxy vol . 2 goes smaller and more introspective .\nflagging a post will send it to the goodreads customer care team for review . we take abuse seriously in our discussion boards . only flag comments that clearly need our attention . as a general rule we do not censor any content on the site . the only content we will consider removing is spam , slanderous attacks on other members , or extremely offensive content ( eg . pornography , pro -

season run , which may not make sense to younger viewers who are only now discovering the iconic series via reruns or streaming .\ndo be consistent . one of an editor\u2019s favourite axioms is \u2018consistency is king\u2019 . minor inconsistencies are to be expected and can be fixed at copyedit stage . however , huge plot holes can be seriously disruptive and are harder to fix down the line than avoiding them in the first place . everyone approaches plotting in different ways ; some writers spend ages mapping it out , others find too much planning obstructive \u2013 it\u2019s whatever works for you . just remember , if you get in a bind , switch off , make a cup of tea , and revisit in an hour or so .\nif the goal of a series is to surprise and thrill its audience , binge - watching seems like a good end run around the self - defeating frenzy surrounding these kind of puzzle series , wherein we desperately want them to surprise us while making it all but impossible for them to do so . ( a thing i\u2019m not looking forward to in 2017 : having to watch twin peaks along with a clue - crazed internet , which theoretically has the power to spoil even bob . ) then westworld premiered , and i realized that making your audience feel smarter than and superior to your show is a perfectly viable strategy too .\nback at the judge ' s house he is sitting at the dinner table with his wife ( viola richard ) when she picks up the newspaper . the judge sees the headlines on the reverse which reveals the defendant has indeed carried out his courtroom threat and has escaped . foozle freaks , spitting out his drink and panics . outside the escaped convict heads towards the house with an accomplice and tells him his only intention is to get revenge on the judge for sending him down . the judge , having seen the newspaper is straight on the telephone to the detectives agency demanding the two bravest men they have . stan and ollie are hired by their boss ( frank brownlee ) to protect the judge .\nthat\u2019s probably vol . 2 \u2018s greatest asset . it exists solely to exist on its own terms , not as a crowd - pleaser or recapturing of previous success . despite releasing in may , it still aims to be an \u201caugust movie . \u201d it does what most sequels should aspire to accomplish in the same situation , especially when following one of marvel\u2019s best films , period . vol . 2 is technically a better film and a must - watch for marvel fans , but more importantly , it\u2019s a great example of how successful a film can be when put in the loving hands of a trusted visionary who doesn\u2019t really care what detractors may think .\noverall key laurel & hardy character traits on display in the graveyard scene : both have a na\u00efve childlike innocence , ollie has an inflated opinion of himself and is deluded that he is \u201cthe smarter of the two\u201d ( when in reality he is just as dumb if not dumber than stan ) , stan treats ollie like an older brother who will protect him ( jumping into ollie\u2019s arms ) , ollie is insistent on having stan do his dirty work ( forcing him retrieve their bowlers from the graveyard ) , stan does his famous \u201ccry\u201d that would become a trademark throughout his career , as well as various childlike facial expressions and body language that would become standard for the \u201cstanley\u201d character .\nof course , the main attraction in the film is the pair of detectives hired by the judge to protect him . they are ferdinand finkleberry ( stan laurel ) and sherlock pinkham ( oliver hardy ) . laurel and hardy are at their cowardly best trying to apprehend the villain\u2014or at the very least , stay alive . there\u2019s a lot of slapstick , and the pace is very quick , as the slasher ( having impersonated the butler ) is lurking abound the judge\u2019s home with a large dagger , which he later \u201cupgrades\u201d with a scimitar off the wall . there are several funny moments when stan and ollie try to apprehend the slasher , ending with stanley putting the handcuffs on oliver by mistake , and after a \u201cghost scene\u201d locking the slasher in the closet where oliver is hiding .\nwhat stan and ollie don\u2019t know is that the slasher and his henchman have jumped the judge\u2019s new butler ( as he walks to the judge\u2019s home for his first day on the job ) and the slasher is now masquerading as the family servant . the scenes where the slasher tries to exact his revenge on the judge are simultaneously horrifying and hysterical . the slasher gives the judge a drink from behind ( so that the judge can\u2019t see him ) and as the judge indulges , the slasher pulls out an absurdly long knife and threatens to do away with the judge , but quickly re - pockets the weapon and ducks out of the room when he hears the judge\u2019s wife coming . the slasher is truly scary in this scene , but both the ridiculousness of his knife and the fancy flourishes that the judge employs in the enjoyment of his drink acts as humorous counterbalance to the terror .\ni ' m curious what people consider most important in a mystery . of course , many things are needed to make a good mystery , but how do you rank them ?

this is up to the girl . she might be recognized among her peers for her work - in - progress at her council\u2019s girl scout gold award ceremony , be honored in a separate ceremony , or come back for the following year\u2019s ceremony . if the council has a set time for honoring girl scout gold awardees , girls should be notified when they begin their project . girls and their project advisors are encouraged to work within the council\u2019s timeline . ceremony time should not dictate whether or not a girl is able to earn her girl scout gold award .\nbecause it\u2019s 1974 , the l . a . in my girl 2 is mostly played for laughs , which is why it\u2019s my favorite l . a . first of all , the culture shock of california is ridiculously silly , but because it takes place in the early \u201970s , it\u2019s especially out of control \u2014 as if vada wandered into a halloween store and found everyone covered in macrame and wearing giant sunglasses . my girl 2 is like a stefon bit ; it has everything : surfers , moonies , psychics , conservative cops who rail against hippies . but honestly , the period setting for both of these movies seemed less like a plot device and more like a way to pull in the baby boomer audiences who would be lovingly nostalgic for a time more pure and pristine than the troubled america of the early \u201990s ( because , as we all know , the early \u201970s in california were all palm trees and sunshine and never any mass murders perpetrated by cult members ) .\nthen when i was 11 , i was doing some yard work for my dad and there were bees nearby . i started getting nervous when i heard them buzzing around , but my dad assured me if i ignored them , they\u2019d ignore me . of course , they smelled my fear and i inevitably got stung on the lip . while it was happening i was thinking about thomas j and envisioned the bees engulfing me and dying from the stings . the bee sting was pretty bad and made my already - too - big - for - my - face lips absolutely enormous and unruly but at least i survived .\ndavid leitch , director of deadpool 2 said in a statement to deadline : \u201ci\u2019m deeply saddened by the loss of one of our stunt performers today . no words can express how i and the rest of the deadpool 2 crew feel about this tragedy . our thoughts are with her family , friends and loved ones in this difficult time . \u201d a 20th century fox spokesman told deadline : \u201cwe are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred on the set of deadpool 2 this morning . our hearts and prayers are with the family , friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time . \u201d\ni rented this movie for my son who is 10 . i like that it was a family friendly movie . i did watch it with him and we both enjoyed it . a girl experiencing life , friendships , crushes , and parents !\nwhat makes the guidelines for girl scouting\u2019s highest awards different from those for the journeys ? in contrast to journey take action projects , which give girls themes on which to base their projects , girl scout gold award take action projects have no predesigned theme . a girl selects her own theme , and then designs and executes a take action project .\nthis was anna ' s first feature length film , which she quickly followed up with my girl 2 . she took a break from acting to attend the university of chicago , then returned to the bright lights of hollywood for guest roles on law & order and 30 rock . in 2008 she married husband shaun so , and in 2012 joined the cast of veep to play amy brookheimer , which she ' s earned to emmy nominations for her portrayal .\nwhat is the difference between a troop / group volunteer and a girl scout gold award project advisor ? do girls need both ? a troop / group volunteer is the adult who works with girl scouts . once a girl identifies her issue , the troop / group volunteer might help her identify a person in the community who could be a great project advisor . a girl scout gold award project advisor is a volunteer who guides a girl as she takes her project from the planning stage to implementation . the project advisor is typically not a girl\u2019s parent or a girl scout troop / group volunteer . the project advisor is typically someone from the community who is knowledgeable about the issue and who can provide guidance and expertise along the way . why can\u2019t a parent be a girl scout gold award project advisor ? girls are encouraged to connect with others in their communities when earning the girl scout gold award . that means working with a project advisor who is not her parent . at what point should a girl scout gold award project advisor be identified ? the project advisor should be identified in the planning phase , before the girl scout gold award project proposal is turned in to the council . the project advisor expands the network of adults and provides expertise for a girl\u2019s project . if a girl has an idea before she starts any work on her gold award , she might want to identify her project advisor at the very beginning . what is the role of a council\u2019s girl scout gold award committee ? some councils have developed girl scout gold award committees to support girl scout seniors and ambassadors as they go through the process of earning their gold awards . girl scout gold award committees are typically comprised of community members , educators , key volunteers , and young women who have earned their girl scout gold awards . the committee works with designated council staff . the committee\u2019s role is to ensure girls\u2019 projects meet the national guidelines . generally , the committee reviews girl scout gold award project proposals , makes recommendations for project development and resources , reads the final reports , and makes recommendations to the council on whether to approve the projects . in some councils the committee approves the projects . if a girl\u2019s project has not yet achieved its goals , the committee provides suggestions and tips to help her develop a high - quality gold award project .\nlike with fuller house , the full house sequel on netflix , girl meets world rode the nostalgia wave , with those who grew up with the original 1990s sitcom driving the initial interest in the news series , which opened with a big premiere audience of 5 . 2 million viewers on disney channel . as the curiosity factor wore off , viewership tapered off but the comedy quickly established a core fan base , with steady live + same viewership in the 1 . 7 - 1 . 8 million range per episode for seasons 2 and 3 .\nhoping that this movie won ' t affect and spoil the popularity of the first sassy girl film . i am a cha tae hyun fan and i have collected some of his famous movies . i won ' t raise my expectation on this film .\npoor victoria , so many negative comment about her upcoming role in this movie . but to be honest when we talk about my sassy girl in korea ver , what first comes in my mind is cha tae hyun and jun ji hyun as if this movie is belong for both of them . but i ' am looking forward to watch this movie as well . cheers ! : )\nwhere the first my girl suffered from being too cloyingly sweet , this one succeeds in having the engaging chlumsky deal with heavy material and romance only playing a minor role , along with amusing turns from akroyd and curtis as the supportive dad and step - mother .\ntbh if they had made this as a completely different movie with a different name and not a sequel to my sassy girl as many fans enjoyed the ending and hated how they just threw all their love and friendship into the bin and randomly the original sassy girl decides to be a nun , like wtf i was rly sad . i think as a film by itself it would receive more praise as they wrecked the whole point of the first movie with the sequel and many people would have given the film a chance before they watched it but many people had already made up their mind as it wasn ' t the original sassy girl . well that my opinion anyway\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\ufeff\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\nprettypolly1 , thank you for your post ! my main concern is that she would not get a place at a private school when it ' s time to move her . it hs to be guildford high or tormead because they are close to our house and i commute to london for my job . what i heard from other mums with bilingual children is that private schools help them develop the language faster and better . my girl is very confident and sociable but she can be shy around strangers so potential problems with classmates are a factor indeed . what do you mean when you say that tormead is completely different and the children are different ? a few of my friends have daughters there and they seem normal .\ndisappointed with this . the original sassy girl movie ended up with both the leads meeting again , right ? so why do they feel the need to change it up ? i have nothing against this pair , i just wish they used a different title and / or storyline for this . my\nnew\nsassy girl ? like gyunwoo has a way of targeting sassy girls wherever he goes or something . xd\nhow can we make sure that girl scout awards represent quality projects ? the best way to make sure a girl is working at the best of her ability is to ensure that both she and her project advisor receive orientation about the award and understand the difference between a one - time community service opportunity or event and a girl scout bronze , silver , and gold award take action project . it\u2019s the responsibility of the troop / group volunteer , council staff member , or gold award committee to work with the girl to ensure she meets the quality requirements of the award .\nthe processed coziness of\nmy girl 2\nis tolerable only because , besides chlumsky , the performers are better than average for this sort of thing . aykroyd once again plays well against jamie lee curtis , as vada ' s stepmom ; they seem like a real married couple and not the usual movie put - up job . masur is warmly expert , and ebersole matches him . o ' brien , rebounding from\nlast action hero ,\nworks well with chlumsky . they all do better by this movie than it deserves . they should call themselves goobusters .\n: i was born jaundiced . once i sat on a toilet seat at a truck stop and caught hemorrhoids . and i ' ve learned to live with this chicken bone that ' s been lodged in my throat for the past three years . so i knew dad would be devastated when he learned of my latest affliction .\n\u00a9 2016 - 2018 girl scouts of the united states of america . a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization . all rights reserved .\nas efforts to find a new home for girl meets world are going on , fans have two more original episodes on disney channel to look forward to , including the jan . 20 finale , girl meets goodbye , in which the matthews family contemplates a life - changing decision . beyond that , girl meets world repeats will continue to air on disney channel and on disney channel\u2019s digital platforms including the disney channel app and disney channel vod .\nnetflix has cancelled ( by my count ) five original scripted shows over the last year , but the most recent one \u2014 girlboss \u2014 is a somewhat different case .\na young girl , on the threshold of her teen years , finds her life turning upside down , when she is accompanied by an unlikely friend .\nthanks , iwantavuvezela . another factor is that my older son will be applying for secondary school next year so i am expecting to have to do a lot of work with him . it kind of scares me if i have to worry about exams for my girl too . tormead is not exactly what i wanted - my heart was set on ghs . but it is the next best thing . i read threads here where people gave up offers from private schools , including ghs , if they got a place at a preferred state school . while it amazes me how can anyone give a place at ghs it does make me wonder if i may be missing something .\nthis movie has all of the traits of a marvelous movie . it ' s comedic , inspiring , and there ' s even a twist of romance between chlumsky and culkin . in my opinion , they couldn ' t have chosen a more perfect cast for my girl . in a way , it even shows parents some reasons why children act in the ways that they do . i . e . vada overcoming such terrible loses in her life so quickly . if you happen to be at a video rental store , or you see it on tv , i recommend you turn it on and watch it . there isn ' t a movie out there quite like my girl . though i must warn you , if you cry during movies , have a kleenex box nearby ; you ' re certainly going to need it !\ngive it another name . . it ' s gonna ruin the name of the original sassy girl . cha taehyun , what are you doing here ! ?\nif a girl starts working on her take action project and moves , can she still earn her award ? councils and overseas committees are encouraged to be flexible to work and serve girls\u2019 best interests . if a girl moves , she should work with her council and / or overseas committees to complete her project .\ncan a troop or group work toward a gold award together ? the gold award is an individual girl\u2019s journey . the gold award process requires a girl to take control of her leadership development and grow in new ways that a group setting cannot provide . this is a commitment she makes and completes as an individual .\ni remember watching this movie with my grandmother when i was around three or four years old . i could only remember two parts of it ; when vada does the sassy type walk across the porch , and when thomas j . goes to find the mood ring , and nothing else . not even the name . i watched it again for the first time in eleven years ( i am now 14 ) . this movie is a perfect mixture of comedy , romance and drama , for me at least . i think this movie teaches great values and lessons , that everyone should learn . loyalty , friendship and love , are only a few things about this movie that i love . everyone should at least give it a chance and see for themselves . i also recommend ' my girl 2 ' .\nplaying the teacher who vada had a puppy crush on , griffin dunne moved on from my girl to have a successful career in front and behind the camera . directing practical magic and the accidental husband , griffin also appeared in stuck on you , broken city , and dallas buyers club as well as multiple guest starring roles on tv .\nthe nut job 2 : nutty by nature is a movie starring will arnett , maya rudolph , and bobby cannavale . following the events of the first film , surly and his friends must stop oakton city ' s mayor from destroying their home to make way for a dysfunctional amusement park .\ndan aykroyd , jamie lee curtis and anna chlumsky return as the offbeat sultenfuss family in this enchanting sequel to my girl . the year is 1974 . vada ( anna chlumsky - my girl , the mommy market ) is now 13 years old , and living with her father ( dan aykroyd - ghostbusters , sneakers ) and pregnant stepmother ( jamie lee curtis - true lies , forever young ) . when one of her teachers gives an assignment about the life and achievements of someone she ' s history , vada makes some surprising discoveries about her roots and also about herself as she confronts the uncertainties of adolesence - first love , first kisses and her place in a changing family .\ni recall seeing my girl eleven years ago and fully understanding what was going on in the film . the chemistry between culkin and chumskly is good considering they are both kids . the film is funny and is heartbreaking because it was one of the first films to make me cry . i love this movie , but stay away from the sequel .\nthe thing is , i don\u2019t enjoy going to the doctor at all . i just like telling people ( mostly my mom ) that things are wrong with me and that i\u2019m dying from them . i\u2019ve been convinced numerous times that i broke my little toe ( there\u2019s nothing they can do about that , really , anyway ) and i\u2019m terrified of breaking a rib because my grandmother once told me she used to break her ribs all the time bathing the kids in the tub ( scary ! ) . but mostly it would just be something like this :\na city girl teams up with a tomboy to solve the mystery of bear mountain , molly morgan , and the buried treasure as well as learn about true friendships .\ngold award girl scouts do well in life ! they rate their general success significantly higher than their peers and report greater success in reaching their goals in many areas .\n\u201cduring my second year of college i was like , \u2018i\u2019m over it ! i have to go see what this other thing called life is about ! \u2019\u201d chlumsky explained of her acting break .\ni watched my girl when i was 9 , and it had such a profound effect on me . part of it was because vada , the main character , had such a unique personality for someone of that age . her quirkiness alone could probably keep you interested . beyond that , the sweet and simple storyline , the adorable characters , and the heart - breaking moments all reached out to me , even at such a young age ( just as the land before time did ) . . . if i had kids of my own , it would definitely be a movie i ' d want them to see . i don ' t only recommend to it to children , though - adults who can appreciate movies that portray life ' s simplicities will definitely enjoy my girl . if you ' re easily driven to tears by movies , i suggest you take a box of kleenex with you when you watch this . . .\nconsider that thomas j had died in my girl ! . this takes you through the trials and tribulations of one person searching for who they really are . not in familer surroundings but those in an entirely different city and state . and all without poor old thomas j . truely this is a feel good movie that is true to form with a feel good ending .\nwhy are journeys prerequisites to earning the girl scout bronze , silver , and gold awards ?

( and here\u2019s where i make another confession : the only reason i wanted to revisit my girl 2 was because i was in l . a . last week and one of the highlights was buying a mood ring at the tar pits like vada\u2019s . )\nhow do girls know when a journey is\ncompleted ?\na journey is completed when a girl has earned the journey awards , which include creating and carrying out a take action project .\ncan girls begin working on their awards the summer after they bridge ( transition ) from one girl scout level to the next ? yes . girls can begin to earn the awards over the summer .\nthis movie was quite exaggerated but nice . cha tae hyun and victoria ' s acting were superb . if you ' re really a fan of them , you should watch this movie . it may not be at its best but the plot was still nice . i agree to one of those who commented that this shouldn ' t be a sequel .\nmy sassy girl\nfans should see the ending part . hahahahaha\ndespite my numerous male friends growing up , i was never a tomboy . i liked dresses , i was terrible at sports and aside from my love of legos , i don\u2019t think i\u2019d ever be described as being a tomboy . i think more often what ended up happening was i just copied her attitude and her general coolness that came from lines like \u201ci only surround myself with people i find intellectually stimulating\u201d more than anything else . now i understand that calling someone ( or yourself ) a tomboy is sort of ridiculous and i have a lot of interests that may be considered more \u201cguy\u201d than \u201cgirl\u201d but i wasn\u2019t that enlightened as a kid .\nthis sequel isn ' t too bad , featuring vada when she is a teenager . i can see why kids would like this film . i had a friend who stole my movie once when we w . . . continue reading\ngod knows , good family entertainment is hard to come by . in my considered opinion , my girl is an outstanding exception from this rule . i have not read the book the film is based on . i would not be surprised , if it turned out to be much more superior to the film version ; i , for one , find it unfortunately too often a case . however , judged on its own merits , the movie scores as high a rating as 8 in my book - - in terms of achieving its purpose : pleasing the whole spectrum of possible viewers . the story - line is nicely balanced , with just the right mixture of the human situation drama , realism , insight into child psychology and optimism . one might argue that in the film finale veda is shown as having too quickly recovered from her supposedly terrible and tragic loss , but children are indeed this way , and the depth of her earlier suffering is sure evidence that this chapter of her life will be forever locked into her conscience . it is exactly the balance i want my daughter exposed to . the dialog is fine : mature enough to show veda ' s precociousness without overdoing it and to give the parents some intellectual pleasure and simple enough , on the other hand , for children to follow without losing themselves in its complexities . i regard myself as a poor judge of acting , but having said that , i find the acting in my girl totally satisfying . if i may venture a guess , i ' d say that , e . g . , jack nickelson at his best would be to a large extent lost on the younger audience and would not be missed by adults who expected just to have great time with their kids together . that my wife and i have had .\nthe original cast of my girl returns to repeat the success of the 1991 box office smash . it is now 1974 and vada ' s ( anna chlumsky ) home - life is very difficult . when vada decides to write about her deceased mother for a school assignment , she embarks on a trip to california to search for the details of her mother ' s past . \u00a9 1994 columbia pictures industries , inc . all rights reserved .\nwith this kind of background , one would expect vada to be a bit more wiggy and careworn than she is in\nmy girl 2 .\nthe film , set in the spring of 1974 , is about vada ' s search for information about her deceased mother . ( she ' s writing a school paper on her . ) journeying to los angeles , where her mother grew up , she stays with her uncle ( richard masur ) and the woman he lives with ( christine ebersole ) and her son ( austin o ' brien ) and ferrets out clues . she pressures her mother ' s old high school friends to offer up personal tidbits . of course , we ' re supposed to regard her mission as an inner voyage . vada learns who she is by finding out who her mother was .\ndarker than one might expect , my girl is the story of vada sultenfuss ( anna chlumsky ) , a pre - teenage girl learning to deal with the death of her mother . vada lives with her widower father ( dan aykroyd ) , who runs a funeral parlor out of their home , and spends her days with her best friend , thomas j ( macaulay culkin ) . when her father falls for his new assistant ( jamie lee curtis ) , vada feels betrayed . in the end , a sudden tragedy brings her closer to her new stepmother , and she begins to understand how to move on after mourning the death of a loved one .\nit\u2019s crazy to think my girl is 25 years old this year ! the sort - of comedy tear jerker was a box office hit in 1991 , that put the cast front and center in hollywood . since then , the core cast has all gone on to have success both in their careers and personal lives , but just in case you haven\u2019t been keeping up with them over the years , here\u2019s a cheat sheet on where they all are now !\na sweet movie that touches on a lot of issues : death of a parent , boy / girl friendship , feeling different , communication and death of a friend . make sure your c . . . continue reading\ngirl meets world also is one of disney channel\u2019s best received series , with sharp writing , strong reviews , two consecutive best children\u2019s program emmy nominations for the first two seasons as well as wga and pga nominations .\nneither new release , of course , made much headway against quantum of solace , which reigned supreme for the fourth straight weekend . its latest takings of \u00a32 . 9million are highly comparable with the fourth - weekend gross of casino royale two years ago ; the difference being that , with a stronger start , quantum is more than \u00a33million ahead of its predecessor at this stage of its run .\nthis movie is finally out in cinema . 22 / 4 / 16 in china and 5 / 5 / 16 in korea . i ' m a big fan of victoria and i hope this movie will be publish in my country too : )\nso it wasn\u2019t until my girl ( and probably not until i was watching it at 9 or 10 ) that i started thinking , \u201coh , maybe i have male friends because they like like me . \u201d thomas j and vada are complete bffs and do everything together but they also have never kissed anyone and decide to kiss each other and thomas j even asks vada to consider him if marrying her teacher ( played handsomely by griffin dunne ) doesn\u2019t work out ."]}

the young man\u2019s pale round eyes register emptiness in turmoil , while his shaved pate , thin frame and tattooed neck proclaim him a skinhead .\na one - day drama portraying eighteen - year - old marek living near the slovak - moravian border with his dad and his racist friends . however , marek ' s best true friend is his dog . his life is shaken up when he discovers the secret of his lost mother marika .\ntract from stomach acid and normal blood clotting . when these functions are reduced , dogs can develop vomiting and diarrhea ( often bloody ) , intestinal problems , loss of appetite , bleeding disorders , kidney or liver dysfunction or failure . they may even die without appropriate treatment . it is not safe to give your dog any amount of aspirin , ibuprofen ( advil ) , naproxen , or other anti - inflammatory meant for humans .\ni decided the camera should follow the main character , focusing on the main character\u2019s bald head and observing him close up . into this strict and radical way of framing i put wide and weird compositions of my own objective point of view as the author . i call them \u201cwaiting break compositions\u201d because we wait for marek to enter the scene without following him . the sound plays a very important role in this concept and most of the time it is deliberately composed out of off - screen dialogue .\nhowever , as tempting as it may be to reach for an over - the - counter pain medications such as ibuprofen , aspirin or acetaminophen and give it to the family dog , you must avoid them at all costs . over - the - counter pain meds ( otc medications ) and human medications can be very dangerous , even fatal , when used improperly in dogs . dogs should not be given advil , aspirin , tylenol or any other pain reliever made for human consumption .\ni break the rules of classical drama on purpose . this is not a story in which the main sympathetic evil character changes through his \u2018experience\u2019 . i believe a colder , distant approach without a commentary raises more questions and makes the story more ambiguous . marek\u2019s world and the world around him influence each other , but where did this circle start ? where in the circle did marek\u2019s story really start ? what was first and what was last ? what is the cause and what is the effect ? without being judgmental , i still make it very clear what is right and what is wrong . by showing ordinary moments of reality i ask our society how deep rooted is our common participation in tragedies like the one of marek\u2018s family . in my opinion it\u2018s large by our indifference , ignorance and lack of compassion .\nshame and pride can kill . eighteen year old marek lives near the slovak - moravian border with his dad and his hooligan pals , however marek ' s best friend is his dog . alienated from everyone , he is on his own in the racist circle that surrounds him - and suddenly the cause of an incident . . . director ' s statement shame is the most powerful , painful and potentially very dangerous emotion - especially for those who don ' t understand its origins or don ' t know how to manage it . this is marek ' s case , who starts to act anxiously after he finds out about the secret of his lost mother . his feeling of shame comes from the absurd idea of racism . in marek ' s opinion , the revelation of this secret might not just damage his family dignity in the eyes of others , but mainly his own self - respect and his position in the group of skinheads .\nmira fornay ' s film about a racist youngster who learns an uncomfortable truth is being considered for the academy award shortlist .\nthe academy picked the film , which had its world premiere this year at the rotterdam film festival , from a field of 12 films .\nsince then it has picked up other awards on the festival circuit and is also in the running for the european film award .\nthe film is produced by mirafox , slovakia ;

screen but within earshot , which both heightens the protagonist\u2019s isolation while priming us of the film\u2019s own individualistic focus .\nlike marek , though , the film doesn\u2019t seem to have much to say about racism , and even less about its potential links to family , class and gender \u2013 all of which hang in the background , threatening to force the filmmakers to make a more serious and challenging film . the skinheads with whom marek spends his spare time are mostly left to clich\u00e9 , for instance , though an early scene shows right - wing fascists commemorating the first slovak state , all seen on a safely - distanced television set within the cosy confines of a house .\nlikewise , marek\u2019s relationship with lukas appears at first to be interesting , but the decision to have the former kidnap and torture his younger sibling \u2013 with unintentional consequences \u2013 is merely bewildering . is this plot twist meant to function as a warning against fascism and its destructive effect upon brotherly love ? it\u2019s a facile point to make if so , and recalls in fact that implication - cum - assertion in haneke\u2019s code unknown ( 2000 ) , in which all the vivid and superbly acted drama serves a too - easily asked question : why can\u2019t we all just get along ?\na troubled teenager with violent friends discovers a secret about his absent mother than makes him contemplate a cruel act .\nwe are very happy to reveal that our dutch title just friends has just received its first recognition : the audience award at mix milano ff 2018 .\nstreaker , directed by peter luisi , keeps being recognized by audiences worldwide ! this time , the swiss title took home the audience award for best narrative feature at the berkshire iff 2018 . strip , run , win -

documented health benefits .\nuse our handy tool to help determine whether your pet is at an ideal weight or needs a change in diet and lifestyle .\ncalled cyclooxygenase that is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation , fever and pain .\ncertain dogs are especially sensitive to human nsaid brands and can develop dangerous side effects even when a correct dose is given .\nthe concurrent use of other medications ( e . g . , corticosteroids ) and / or the presence of certain health conditions ( e . g . , gastrointestinal , liver , or kidney disease ) can make the use of nsaids for dogs more risky than normal .\n, but because more dogs are exposed to these medications , a greater number of nsaid toxicity cases are reported in dogs in comparison to cats . )\nacetaminophen ( tylenol ) presents a slightly different story . acetaminophen is not an nsaid . no one is exactly sure how it works to reduce pain and fever ( it has no effect on inflammation ) , but when\n, the oxygen - carrying molecule in blood , to methemoglobin resulting poor oxygen delivery throughout the body and tissue damage .\n( note : cats are so sensitive to the adverse effects of acetaminophen that just one , regular strength tablet can result in death . )\nfor all of the above reasons , you should not give nsaids , like aspirin and ibuprofen , or other pain relievers , such as tylenol , to dogs or other pets without the supervision of a veterinarian . drug companies have designed specific canine pain medication that are safer and more effective than those that are designed for people . with a veterinarian recommendation , you can access\nmedications that can safely and effectively relieve your pet from discomfort . with a prescription , you can choose from brands like\nbut normal amounts of protein can help dogs lose weight while maintaining muscle mass and strength . reducing body fat and promoting lean body mass decreases stress on joints and inflammation throughout the body .\nthe combination of a good diet and weight loss will often lessen if not completely eliminate the need for pain meds for dogs suffering from chronic conditions like arthritis . more severe cases can also benefit from physical therapy ,\ntreatments and other interventions . talk to your veterinarian to determine what combination of diet , exercise ,\na medical condition in which the joints become inflamed and causes a great deal of pain .\neven if you do not have pets , it is more than likely that a rat , a ferret or some kind of mammal host had also resided in your home at some point in time . wild ferrets or rodents are known to settle in attics or ceiling areas and the fleas on them could\neven after these pests or rodents have left or have been removed , the fleas will continue to feed on other hosts in the house i . e you and your family !\nessentially , any type of pets is likely to carry fleas with them if they\u2019re exposed to other pets or animals . they could\u2019ve been infested when you drop them off in a\nonce exposed , your pets could carry these fleas back into your home , where they\u2019ll start breeding and infesting your whole house .\nfirst of all , you have to understand that most flea problems aren\u2019t usually concentrated at just one particular location of your house . if you have pets at home , it is more than likely that they\u2019ve\nyou\u2019ll be glad to know that it actually only takes about 1 - 2 days of diligence to completely rid your house of fleas ( for even the worst infestations ) , as long as you do it right .\ni\u2019ve tried out a ton of methods , both individually and in different combinations . some didn\u2019t work , some worked , albeit to a very limited extent , while a couple worked so effectively that\n. i\u2019ve listed all the best ways to kill fleas and get rid of them permanently here , so you can see for yourself .\nsprinkle fine salt over carpets or affected areas . this is supposed to work by sapping out the moisture from the fleas as they walk over it . they\u2019ll chafe and bleed to death over time .\nif the salt is sprinkled over the eggs , they\u2019ll supposedly dry up and perish as well .\nthe idea here is that dish detergent mixed with water is toxic to fleas and if they hop into it , they\u2019ll die . the night light helps attracts these fleas .\nyou\u2019ll have to place this \u201ctrap\u201d near the ground too , so that it\u2019s more accessible to the fleas .\ntip : this works with a normal desk lamp too . just set it up on the ground and place the mixture in the spotlight . the fleas will jump towards the spotlight and into the mixture .\nas satisfying as this felt to me , apparently it wasn\u2019t enough because it didn\u2019t fix the problem .\nthis trap only killed adult fleas and at a very small area . the flea cycle continued as the eggs hatched and more fleas returned to pester me !\npersonally , we suggest trying out this method first since it\u2019s the least intrusive and can be done in a single day .\n\u2013 works best for extensive infestations . cost can go up to $ 100 or more if multiple sessions are required over a few days . complete eradication of fleas in your house . pest control services\n. after a pest control session is over , use some flea spray and flea tablets for your pets right away before letting them back into the house .\n\u2013 flea sprays can be used on both pets and furniture ( carpets , rugs , couch , bedding \u2013 both your pet and yours , blankets , pillows ) . these sprays will kill most types of fleas , including their eggs , upon contact .\ntip : for sensitive areas of your pets i . e near its face , spray on a comb and brush it .\nuse this in combination with flea tablets so that any new adult fleas that hop onto your pet will die off almost immediately too . if you kill off all the eggs and adult fleas simultaneously , the flea cycle will be broken .\nif you have pets , you can use this on them in addition to flea tablets for optimal results .\n. it costs a mere 9 bucks and is apparently made of natural ingredients , which is great for those averse to chemical products .\n\u2013 flea tablets are pills fed to your dogs or cats . any fleas that are biting your pets will start dropping like flies .\n, such as when your pet returns from a vet clinic , a pet grooming salon , a pet hotel or a pet park .\nuse this in combination with flea sprays to kill off eggs too , since tablets only kill off adult fleas .\n. a 6 - dose package for small dogs costs around $ 25 , while for bigger dogs , it costs around $ 30 . make sure you pick the appropriate dosage based on the size of your dogs or cats .\n. this technique is often used by pest exterminators themselves too , but only for really bad infestations because of the inconvenience it puts you in . you might have to do this more than once too .\nyou\u2019ll have to cover up exposed food , utensils and dishes , disable your smoke alarms temporarily , shut all the windows and doors , and leave your house together with your pet ( if any ) for a couple of hours . after the fogging is over ,\n. you\u2019ll tend to see many other dead bugs all around your house as they leave their nests in their attempts to escape the fog and die .\nimportant : after fogging , you must remember to also treat your pet before letting it into the house . spray your pet down with a flea spray and feed it a flea tablet to be safe .\n. it should only cost around $ 10 for a 3 - can fogger . if you live in a bigger house , you\u2019ll probably need more than that . although 1 can supposedly covers 2000 cubic feet , i used 1 can per room just to be safe . be prepared to come back to a looooooot more dead bugs than just fleas .\n5 . vacuuming \u2013 if fogging sounds like too much of a hassle , vacuuming works to a certain extent as well .\nif you have a strong enough vacuum , you can actually vacuum up even the eggs wherever it passes over . just make sure you cover as much space as is possible . vacuum the carpets , curtains , under your furniture , beds and also any cracks or crevices in the floorboards and baseboards .\nimportant : if you have a pet , make sure you feed it a flea tablet about 30 minutes before you start vacuuming your house . also , make sure you use some flea spray on your pet as well . this is so that any adult fleas that hopped onto your pet while you\u2019re vacuuming will simply die off ( from the tablets ) , and any eggs residing on it will be eliminated ( from the spray ) .\nafter the vacuum session , use flea spray on all the vacuumed areas just in case you missed some of these bugs and their eggs .\nwe ' re a group of people who have seen our fair share of pest infestation problems . from our experience , we ' ve learnt that it ' s not always necessary to call up a pest control service . oftentimes , simple diy methods and products are sufficient to completely eliminate any budding pest problems . we ' re here to help educate the public on how to tackle their pest problems before resorting to more drastic measures .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .\nperhaps if mihal were capable of displaying feelings , the movie would have engaged a little .\neric sardinas -

pointed star at the sept when the high sparrow enters and they discuss the passage she ' s been reading , which is about the mother ' s love and mercy . margaery notes that in the past she pretended to love the poor when in fact she only really pitied them . the high sparrow asks her why she hasn ' t joined king tommen in the marriage bed , and margaery explains that the desires that once drove her no longer do so . the high sparrow assures her that desire is not necessary . she has a duty to produce an heir . the high sparrow then makes a thinly veiled threat against margaery ' s grandmother , olenna tyrell , stating that while she is a remarkable woman , she is also an unrepentant sinner .\nmeanwhile , cogman stated that many days and weeks pass by as jon and sansa travel along the west coast of the north from the mormonts to the glovers -

thus ,\nrobett glover directly mentions that his brother galbart fought for robb and hailed him as king in the north : he doesn ' t quite explicitly state that galbart is in fact dead , but heavily implies it . robett does mention that his wife and children were held captive by the ironborn , which did happen in the novels ( yara kept them prisoner but made sure they were well cared for ) .\narya is left handed , but\narya\nin the episode consistently uses her right hand to handle the money bags she gives the sailors . maisie williams is actually right - handed in real life but is always careful to play arya as left - handed because she is in the novels - she wouldn ' t make such a casual mistake like this ( three separate times in the scene ) .\nwe next see arya standing on a bridge admiring a view of the titan of braavos when an old woman approaches her and reveals herself to be the waif , who repeatedly stabs her in the gut , twisting the knife as she does . arya escapes by leaping over the handrail and into the river . she is left stumbling through the streets of braavos , leaving a trail of blood droplets and visibly afraid .\ni want to move beyond ticking surface level boxes like \u201chas a great sense of humor , \u201d or \u201cloves the beach , \u201d which matter only for a short time , and long term not at all . i want the things that are core to what i believe are important for a human . as a registered human myself , this also applies to how i live my own life . and that\u2019s way beyond skin deep .\nalthough she gives me her heart and her mind , i want her body too . she understands her body , takes pleasure in it , knows what sets her afire , and wants to engage & teach me the same . she willingly gives herself to me because she knows i will simultaneously treat her body as the gift it is , but will also allow my hunger for her to take over , devouring every part of her .\nit is pointed out to lyanna that her uncle jeor mormont made jon snow his personal steward , because he was grooming him to succeed him one day and thought him trustworthy . it is unclear , however , why jon didn ' t take this opportunity to also point out that her uncle outright gave him the house mormont ancestral sword , longclaw , made of priceless valyrian steel , and assuredly jeor would only have bestowed his blade on a man he thought was trustworthy . then again , perhaps jon was worried that if the meeting didn ' t go well , they might try to take the sword back from him .\nis still alive ; in the fifth novel , it is implied by her daughter alysane that she is alive and with two of her other daughters . robb has sent her and galbart glover on a mission to the north prior to the red wedding , and ever since no one heard from them . she has older surviving sisters ( the eldest , dacey mormont , died at the red wedding ) . maege did leave young lyanna as the\nit is unclear where the tv version is drawing the exact number of only 62 fighters . in the books , it is mentioned that all of the vassal houses in the western half of the north can only muster about 1 , 200 men or so , and as lyanna mormont points out , bear island isn ' t very populous and didn ' t have a large army to begin with ( before most of its soldiers got slaughtered in the war ) .\nmargaery instead pleads for olenna to return to highgarden instead . as she emphatically tells her grandmother to return home , margaery secretly slips a piece of paper into olenna ' s hand . in doing so , she seems to have successfully communicated to olenna that she doesn ' t quite mean what she ' s been saying in front of septa unella , and olenna ' s expression changes , realizing this . she plays along and agrees to acquiesce , then walks away .\nthis is only the sixth episode of the entire tv series that tyrion lannister has not appeared in - and given that he didn ' t appear in the previous episode either , this is officially the first time in the entire run of the tv series to date that tyrion has been absent for two episodes in a row . if tyrion misses one more episode , he will slip down to tie with cersei as the most frequently recurring character in the tv series .\nin turn , this explains why unlike much of the rest of westeros or even the rest of the north , bear island has a strong tradition of producing warrior women : bear island itself is fairly poor and densely forested ( as seen in the episode ) , so its inhabitants gain most of their sustenance by fishing the surrounding waters . this means that the men are often out at sea for days at a time , unable to react to surprise sea raids made by ironborn or wildling boats that slip past them to get to their homes on the island . as a result , the mothers and older daughters of families on bear island had to learn to take up weapons themselves to defend themselves and their homes . while they apparently follow the inheritance laws of the mainland , putting daughters behind sons , so many men die in raids that families from the island fully prepare their daughters to fight and potentially have to rule some day .\nyara is persuading theon to regain his former identity and self confidence , as she will need his assistance in getting justice and retaking the iron islands from their uncle euron . when pressed , he says that if justice were served , he would be burnt for his crimes , so she responds , \u201cfuck justice then . do it for revenge . \u201d eventually she convinces him to put his guilt aside and help her because she needs him . he drinks some ale and begins to gain some composure .\nin the books , jaime didn ' t bring a full lannister army of 8 , 000 men to riverrun to assist the freys : instead , some elements of other lannister armies were already present , commanded by his cousin daven lannister ( son of stafford lannister ) , who had been struggling in vain to get the freys in line ( daven is a capable leader and jaime sympathizes with his troubles ) . thus in the book version , jaime only brought about 1 , 000 new lannister soldiers with him as reinforcements from king ' s landing . as the siege was a recent development in the tv version , tv - jaime apparently just brought them all at once ( it wasn ' t stated how many lannister soldiers were already present under daven ' s command in the books ) . the frey army surrounding riverrun numbered about 2 , 000 in the books ( most of the other half of their army accompanied the boltons to winterfell to help them hold the north , but this was cut from the tv version ) .\njon , sansa , and davos travel to bear island , where they meet with lyanna , the ten - year old head of house mormont . sansa and jon try to flatter her with small talk about her mother maege and uncle jeor mormont . however , lyanna is unimpressed and aggressively brushes them off , demanding to know their business in bear island . lyanna initially rejects their request for help and stresses that house stark is dead and that she needs her forces to garrison bear island . she also remarks that jon and sansa cannot be considered starks since the former is a bastard and the latter has been married twice into enemy houses . lyanna is initially unconcerned about the threat of ramsay . before lyanna can dismiss them , davos intervenes . after briefly discussing his background , davos manages to convince the young lady mormont by warning her about the dangers the white walkers pose to the living . she agrees to contribute 62 men , which is all she can manage , and promises that they each fight as well as ten men .\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 - plated steel - still a heavy , solid - metal prosthetic .\nin part this explains why lyanna mormont is such a confident , capable , and defiant ruler despite being a 10 year old girl . many major lords on the mainland don ' t expect their daughters to come to rule and thus don ' t train them for it , i . e . tywin lannister never tried 10 year old cersei lannister to be able to rule and fight if he died . in contrast , house mormont does raise its daughters to be able to rule as capable political leaders if the need arises .\nthe tv version is nonetheless thematically similar : he explains that he used to be a soldier , and instead of glory and honor , it led to him mindlessly obeying orders to burn villages and kill unarmed peasants , but he ' s tried to make amends with what time he has left alive . as a conscientious objector to the vietnam war , george r . r . martin was critical of how other high fantasy literature glorified war , and he wanted to deconstruct this in his own works to show how in real life it is most often horrible and pointless suffering .\ndorne does not appear in this episode , and has not appeared since the season premiere . the night ' s watch , bran stark and his subplot , the vale , samwell and gilly in the reach , ramsay bolton at winterfell , daenerys targaryen and the dothraki , and meereen also do not appear . cersei , olenna , and margaery appear in king ' s landing but tommen and the small council do not . house greyjoy appears in the form of yara and theon ' s faction as their fleet arrives in volantis , but their uncle euron and the iron islands themselves do not .\nin the novels , brienne and podrick encounter a wandering septon named meribald who used to be a soldier in his youth , became a bandit at one point and did many things he is ashamed of , and now makes penance for his past by helping the poor and needy . the tv version basically condensed septon meribald and the elder brother together into one character : they are similar characters in the books . in the\ninside the episode\nfeaturette , however , the showrunners refer to him as\nray ,\nnot\nmeribald\n- apparently they made a new name for the condensed character .\nhouse mazin\n, meanwhile , does not exist in the books at all - it is an in - joke reference to screenwriter craig mazin , who doesn ' t directly work on the tv series but gave the showrunners vital advice about the unaired pilot episode . this is the third time it has been mentioned in the tv series , the second this season . a new second - tier\nmajor house\ncan ' t easily be fit into the map of the north at this point , given that the books have already clearly defined who controls which territories . there are two in - universe possibilities : house mazin might be a prominent third - tier\nminor house\n( similar to how house forrester are prominent vassals of house glover , who are themselves vassals of the starks ) , or they might be one of the 40 or so minor noble houses from the northern mountain clans who live northwest of winterfell - they are all as weak as minor houses , but are technically second - tier major houses in the sense that they are sworn directly to the starks and don ' t have any other overlords . the books never gave a definitive list of all of the northern mountain clans .\nit isn ' t explicitly stated where the scenes involving sandor clegane take place , but given the presence of the brotherhood without banners it is apparently somewhere in the riverlands - combined with the fact that brother ray ' s book counterpart septon meribald also operated in the riverlands . when arya abandoned sandor they were actually leaving the vale and near the coast where its southern border meets the riverlands ( which is how she was in riding distance of a port at maidenpool ) . also brother ray says he picked up sandor on a wagon , so apparently he took the hound with him as he journeyed back into the riverlands .\nbrynden states that riverrun has enough food supplies to last for two years . in the books , he similarly managed to gather ample food supplies at the castle before the siege began , right after the red wedding . in the tv version , the siege wasn ' t going on off - screen this whole time but is stated to have only recently begun after brynden recaptured it in a sneak attack , thus he still has two full years worth of food supplies in this version as well . sieges can last for many years in westeros , because castles are built with larger storage space to survive the years - long winters .\nyara ' s character is named\nasha greyjoy\nin the books , she was renamed to avoid confusion with osha the wildling ( asha greyjoy is a much more prominent character , but was only introduced in season 2 , after osha was introduced in season 1 ) . asha in the books shows no particular hints of being bisexual or experimenting with women : she is very sexually active and unashamed of this , going so far as to learn from a woods witch how to make her own moon tea ( an abortion drug ) . game of thrones wiki reached out to george r . r . martin himself to inquire about this :\nmeereen appears in the title sequence even though it isn ' t in the actual episode . as the creators explained , it would be very expensive to create an animation for every location that appears on - screen , so they limit them to those that will recur frequently enough that it justifies the expense . no title animation was created for volantis when it appeared in season 5 because it only appeared in one episode - thus there wasn ' t a pre - existing one to use in this episode . the greyjoy fleet is headed to meereen , so on the balance it was probably less expensive to just re - use the animation for that location .\nthe only subplots which haven ' t caught up with their materials from the novels at this point are samwell and gilly actually arriving in oldtown itself , a few ( condensed ) parts of the greyjoy subplot , parts of the king ' s landing storyline , and a few elements from the slaver ' s bay storyline ( though tyrion has caught up ) . this isn ' t counting major subplots which were simply abandoned such as the martell storyline from the books and the griff storyline in the free cities . at the rate these few subplots are advancing , it appears that every subplot will totally catch up with the books by the end of season 6 .\nin the parallel book scene , davos attends the court of lord wyman manderly , seeking to have him support stannis . one of the attending freys , ser jared ( fourth son of lord frey ) , tells the freys ' version of the red wedding : robb and his followers have warged into wolves , and the freys acted in self defense . brazenly , jared even goes that far to claim that wendel was killed as he shielded lord frey with his body . davos is stunned at the enormity of the lie , which wyman seems to believe . then , rhaegar frey ( lord frey ' s grandson ) says similar things to robett ' s statement in the show :\nmajor credit goes to the cast of course \u2013 from the lead actors to the cameos . brilliant , understated portrayals , complemented by natural dialogues , situations , and issues . as jyotsana , one of mandar\u2019s married lovers , quips , tu toh bhaag gaya , main kahaan bhaagegi ? thus , they part with a final hug , a wistful smile on her face ; leaving you to reflect on the nature of impulse and the social implications . moreover , all the characters look real\u2014the sort of people you see around your neighbourhood or on the streets . special mention to the child actors who manage to convey the awkwardness , insecurities , and excitement associated with sex and attraction during adolescence .\njaime and bronn lead the lannister army to the gates of riverrun , where the freys attempt to coerce the blackfish into surrendering the castle by threatening to execute edmure tully . the blackfish calls their bluff and refuses to surrender . disgusted with the freys ' incompetence , jaime takes charge of the siege and attempts to parley with the blackfish , warning him that the lannisters will show no mercy to the tullys , but if he surrenders , the lives of his men will be spared . the blackfish rejects the offer and warns jaime that he has two years worth of food in his stronghold , and that while hundreds of his own men may die defending , thousands of lannister troops will perish as well .\njaime lannister never went to dorne as he did in season 5 of the tv series - the dorne subplot in season 5 was so heavily condensed or outright changed that it bore little resemblance to that subplot in the novels . instead , that was the point in time at which jaime left for the riverlands to deal with holdout pockets of robb stark ' s tully allies - and thus he wasn ' t present when the faith militant arrested cersei , nor for her impending trial by combat . when he received a letter in which cersei begged him to come back and aid her he burned it in disgust , realizing that her petty plotting against the tyrells nearly destroyed their family ' s hold on power and endangered tommen ."]}

( whenever someone leaves fernfield , they\u2019re always san diego - bound . )\nsure , that works . never mind the fact that you\u2019d normally have to be a student with good academic standing to participate in your school\u2019s athletics . but who has time for nuance ? let\u2019s see air bud do his thing .\n00 : 43 : 01 : aww ! air bud ' s making a delicious ice cream sundae for his baby ' s momma . that ' s how we do it around our house when we ' re sad and fat .\n00 : 55 : 05 : the evil coach ' s son is miffed because his pops got air bud ' s team banned from the league . god , if that douchey speech is what gets him reinstated . . . .\nwizz air has a young , single type airbus fleet from the a320 family including a320s and an a321ceo . wizz air took delivery of its first a321ceo aircraft in november 2015 and will take over 20 more through 2018 .\na ir bud was released in theaters 20 years ago tuesday . in commemoration of this momentous cinematic event , we set out to interview some of the stars who made the movie a beloved family classic \u2014 but then we realized that nobody cared about the human actors involved . we liked air bud because of the dog who played basketball . so we set out to interview air bud \u2014 real name buddy the wonder dog , an actual basket - scoring golden retriever .

( i must debunk the many viral tweets about the kid who got benched for air bud : buddy does not check into the game until injuries leave josh\u2019s team with just four players . )\nbut golden receiver isn\u2019t the least realistic air bud film . in fact , it contains a sense of gritty realism . it acknowledges the uncomfortable fact that if a teenager in full pads tackled a dog , that dog would get seriously injured :\nall we saw was air bud catch a ball in his mouth and get the final out , and apparently that was enough to earn mvp . we didn\u2019t see him at bat , although thanks to the scoreboard , we can assume he didn\u2019t help much there . all we\u2019re left with is imagining what else he did at first base to earn that honor , and maybe that\u2019s for the best . part of me believes this ending was all a dream sequence in air bud\u2019s head .\n& apos ; air bud & apos ; told the tale of buddy , a canine with mad basketball skills . the film was a hit for disney in 1997 and a theatrical sequel , in which buddy takes up football , soon followed .\nthen : cavendish played principal pepper in & apos ; air bud . & apos ; born in england but raised in canada , cavendish had starred in canadian movies such as & apos ; the grocer & apos ; s wife . & apos ;\n00 : 56 : 49 \u2013 buddy is kitted out in a jersey and miniature air max . it is adorable .\nmovies and a sixth one in the works . then they made a spin - off series called air buddies which has\n00 : 01 : 05 : holy shit . they replaced patrick - - the vet boyfriend - - with the dad from pet sematary . i like where this is going . no wonder air bud looks haggard . he ' s a fucking zombie !\n00 : 05 : 15 : air bud got drunk at the reception and now he ' s trying to get up on the little sister . josh is dancing with a fat middle aged aunt - like figure . this round goes to the sister .\n00 : 06 : 30 : every time bud and his bitch get together they get cockblocked by the goddamn dogcatcher . villain indeed .\nzegers , now 31 , made us fall in love with the little boy who desperately needed a friend . his character battled a crazy , abusive clown / dog owner as well as an abusive gym coach . come to think of it , there was a lot of low - key abuse in that movie . but anyway , zegers reprised his role of josh in several of the franchise ' s sequels , including ,\nair bud : golden receiver\nand\nair bud 3 : world pup .\n00 : 23 : 40 : the scumplumbers are heisting . i ' m wondering how they expect to train a strange dog to grab a jewel . maybe they ' ll tell him it ' s a shuttlecock and this is air bud : barkminton madness !\n01 : 09 : 07 : buddy crawling through the air vents . i wonder if he feels like a tv dinner .\nwizz air has an order with airbus for 110 new technology a321neo aircraft with advanced systems and engines that will further reduce wizz air\u2019s industry leading cost base as well as the company\u2019s carbon footprint . all new deliveries are fitted with sharklet wingtip devices .\nor maybe buddy was just juicing . honestly , that\u2019s the best explanation for how buddy went from a contributing player on a middle school basketball team in rural washington to the best player on the best baseball team in the world . air bud probably did steroids .\nthen : fletcher was 15 when he made his film debut as larry willingham in & apos ; air bud . & apos ; he already had a tv presence as a recurring character on the canadian crime drama & apos ; the adventures of shirley holmes . & apos ;\n00 : 00 : 12 \u2013 the first post 9 / 11 air bud opens with a harrowing scene in which buddy , dressed as a firedog , heroically drags injured civilians from the burning rubble of the world trade center . just kidding , it\u2019s more of the same .\nin this spin - off of the air bud franchise , five pups follow an ice cream transport truck to a plane and end up flying with the ice cream shipment to alaska . there they find a pup friend and a boy who needs five dogs for a big race .\nwhen dad buddy and mom molly are dognapped , their five adorable pups , the air buddies , must save the day . . .\nair buddies ( 2006 ) \u2013 buddy and molly ' s offspring work together to help each other while attempting to rescue their parents .\nthe air bud movies epitomize the concept that movies for children can be lazy in concept and lazier in execution , because kids don\u2019t care as long as there\u2019s something cute to look at on screen . there\u2019s nothing offensive in them in terms of swearing or innuendo , and the violence remains solidly in the realm of slapstick . ( air bud is rated pg , presumably for beer cans , but the rest are all rated g . ) but they\u2019re all so obnoxiously formulaic and syrupy that ranking them is a difficult task , because they all run together into one colorful blur of stupid pet tricks and stupider puns . and when you\u2019re that shameless , why not keep making them ? what we\u2019re trying to say is : call us , robert vince . we\u2019ve got a great idea for a sixth movie where air bud meets a streetwise pit bull in the boxing ring .\n00 : 49 : 00 : the conference has decided to disqualify your team . because you have a dog . and air bud . but why ? that doesn ' t make any sense ! how dare they use logic to thwart us ! it ' s unfair , i tells ya .\nthere ' s an air of acceptance throughout the film , but the movie never stops to stand at a pulpit and preach this message .\nin this clip , the air buddies are being chased , but find safety on the farm with billy the goat and belinda the pig .\nthe plan to launch wizz air was conceived in june 2003 when six people with a wide range of airline expertise and successful track records teamed up with j\u00f3zsef v\u00e1radi , the company\u2019s chief executive officer . in just three months , wizz air was a registered company ready to fly .\nthe air buddies films focus on buddy ' s puppies , and they were all direct - to - dvd / blu - ray releases .\nthis transformation from small - town novelty act to multisport legend is remarkable . it also begs some questions . so to celebrate one of the most accomplished pups ever to grace the big screen , we watched all five * air bud movies and ranked them in order of plausibility , from most to least .\nmost of these scenarios are minor , and they step to the side to make way for air bud , but they\u2019re some of my favorite parts of the franchise because they\u2019re sincere . they make you feel for the characters and root for them , even when you know that everything will turn out ok .\nthen : in & apos ; air bud , & apos ; makken played framm\u2019s mom jackie . she was familiar to movie audiences thanks to her role as sister mary robert in & apos ; sister act & apos ; and & apos ; sister act 2 : back in the habit . & apos ;\neven if we presuppose that buddy understands the intricacies of baseball , though , seventh inning fetch would still be the least plausible air bud film by several miles . baseball would be one of the hardest sports for a dog to play , and yet it is the sport in which buddy achieves his greatest success .\n00 : 00 : 35 : air bud ' s been replaced ! do they do doggie botox ? or do they just let them eat dented cans of spoiled peaches ? i hear that ' s how they killed the presidents of the united states of america . the band , not the obama , because we probably would have heard about that . his album didn ' t do as well as thriller , but still . bud looks like a fucking irish setter . fucking gingers .\n00 : 06 : 37 \u2013 one possible explanation for the subtle narrative variation throughout the air bud franchise is that the clown put buddy in a coma at the start of the first movie , and everything that happens subsequently is merely a projection of an elaborate dream loop . that , or it\u2019s just lazy screenwriting .\ncompared to some of their more crass kids\u2019 movie counterparts , the air bud movies are relatively digestible . they\u2019re not trying to sell anything\u2014save for their own interminable sequels and spin - offs , which have now grown to include the air buddies series , the santa paws series , the pup star series , the mvp : most valuable primate series , and a smattering of ape - and / or dog - related movies unrelated to the rest of the air bud franchise .

' buggy bongie boogie ' a music score for the film the strength and agility of insects .\na highly entertaining and revealing account of insect ability , the strength and agility of insects presented a view of arthropods quite unlike anything ever seen on film before . premiering in 1911 , the production caused a sensation , detailing our insect friends as they lift tiny dumbbells , twirl matchsticks and juggle objects much heavier than themselves . sparking a huge press debate , renowned wildlife photographer percy smith had to dispel rumours of trickery and cruelty by sharing his innovative filming techniques . examining a whole host of these tiny creatures and their relative power and dexterity , the strength and agility of insects is an intriguing insight into the skills of a variety of species .\nstill images from the film were featured in newspapers and magazines and the subject inspired poetry and political cartoons ; this obviously pleased smith greatly . he was humble in print , however , stating that his intention in making the film was of course to entertain the public , but also to demonstrate the strength and agility of those insects we might unthinkingly squash or swat when they settle on our lunch .\nthis early \ufb01lm by national history \ufb01lm pioneer f . percy smith observes real insects juggling and playing with objects in a binzarre manner . a major success at the time of its premiere , the \ufb01lm serves here as a tribute to dal\u00ed\u2019s fascination with insects in his paintings and \ufb01lms , and his profound interest in the scienti\ufb01c study of nature . l\u00f3pez figueroa\u2019s circus music serves as an overture to the whole programme , interpreting freely dance music from the period .\n* this film is included on the bfi dvd compilation ' science is fiction / the sounds of science : the films of jean painlev\u0103\u00a9 .\nregister so you can check out ratings by your friends , family members , and like - minded members of the fa community .\npercy smith ' s films of various insects seen juggling tiny objects caused an absolute furore when they were first shown to the public in 1908 . this was unlike anything cinemagoers had seen before and there was much debate as to how smith had ' taught ' the little creatures to twirl match sticks , manipulate corks and waggle tiny dumbbells . the filmmaker was forced to justify his methods in the press , guaranteeing that there was no trickery involved and certainly no cruelty .\ndescribed simply , f . percy smith ' s most - excerpted short sounds like a trick photography classic of the cameraman ' s revenge ilk , but those are real insects performing real feats of strength , flipping around objects many times their size with ease . obviously nowadays you ' d do it all with cgi but in smith ' s day they had to use real stuntmen for this sort of thing .\ntrippy indie madeline ' s madeline is the movie that lakeith stanfield and boots riley from sorry to bother you want to see the most .\nall copyrighted material ( movie posters , dvd covers , stills , trailers ) and trademarks belong to their respective producers and / or distributors .\na spider is shown standing on a piece of rock . a thread is produced until sufficient to bear the spider ' s weight . in a humorous fashion , the spider lifts all eight legs off the craggy outcrop and is pulled into the air , sailing off into the unknown . in the next sequence we see how the spider uses its legs to manipulate the web , turning on its back then gathering in the thread with its feet . the film ends with a live action shot of a spider in its lair , scrabbling around looking for tasty morsels .\npercy smith believed that he could cure people of their fear of spiders by showing them blown up images of their eight legged foes on the cinema screen . this short film uses an animated model spider to show how the spider ' throws ' its silken threads to make a web . the little fellow is quite comical and is the first of several animated creatures to appear in smith ' s films .\nthere were several different versions of this film . the version featured here includes a scorpion grasping a matchbox , an ant holding a match , and flies and fleas juggling various small objects . alas , the much - debated footage of a fly dressed as a nurse holding a small model baby is missing from this version . shame !\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 .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

first two christy bristol astrology mysteries by sunny frazier , i found myself eagerly turning the pages of\na snitch in time\nto see what would happen next . would christy discover the identity of the person who was killing off the\nundesirables\nin the sierra nevada foothills ? would she and her best friend , lennie , resolve the conflict in their relationship ? and , what about christy ' s love life ? the author kept me in suspense until the very last page . i highly recommend this book !\nwhen sheriff\u2019s department office assistant christy bristol takes a long weekend to visit her friend , lennie , in the sierra nevada foothills , it\u2019s not the vacation she anticipated . a murder has just occurred and christy is conscripted by the homicide team to handle the reports . to add to her frustration , she gets in a fight with lennie over her friend\u2019s arrogant boyfriend and has no place to stay . the detectives put her up in a forest ranger ' s cabin while he is away fighting fires . as the body count grows , it becomes apparent the killer is targeting undesirables in the town of burlap . one victim\u2019s girlfriends calls christy and accuses a deputy of the murders . christy doesn\u2019t know whether to believe the snitch or not . could a killer really be hiding behind his badge ? using astrology , she casts a reverse horoscope to profile him , but puts

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

canada tv , he shot the travel series \u201cla course autour du monde 97\u201398 . \u201d this was followed by numerous short films , commercials , music videos , documentary series and visual designs for the stage . the sound of trees is p\u00e9loquin\u2019s feature debut . he is currently working on his second film entitled the secrets , whose screenplay again involves the collaboration of sarah l\u00e9vesque .\nif you are wandering one day , lonely and lost , and happen upon the sea of trees , the latest from oscar - nominated director gus van sant , chop it to the ground .\nfounded in 1982 , the greater vancouver international film festival society is a not - for - profit cultural society and federally registered charitable organization that operates the internationally acclaimed vancouver international film festival ( viff ) , the annual viff industry conference and the year - round programming of the vancity theatre at the vancouver international film centre . its mandate is to encourage understanding of the world ' s cultures through the art of cinema , to foster the art of cinema , to facilitate the meeting in british columbia of cinema professionals from around the world , and to stimulate the motion picture industry in british columbia . in its 34th year , the vancouver international film festival welcomes the world to vancouver from september 24 - october 9 , 2015 as it showcases the top bc , canadian and international films and plays host to industry professionals from around the globe .\nstarring matthew mcconaughey and naomi watts , the film debuted in infamy at last year\u2019s cannes film festival , where it premiered to deafening boos . the sea of trees was the lowest - scoring cannes entry in over a decade , earning an abysmal 0 . 6 ( out of 4 ) from the screen jury ranking . those jeers echo loudly over its american release : the onetime awards season hopeful is hobbling into just a few theaters ahead of a planned vod debut . if there were any justice in the world , though , the film would have been chained to a radiator in a basement somewhere , trapped for eternity .\nit would have been one thing to settle for vapid sentimentality , but what makes the sea of trees so galling , as it turns the afterlife into a game of riddles , is how manipulative it is .\nproviding a strong sense of place is francois messier - rhealt \u2019s majestic widescreen cinematography , which includes impressive overhead shots and a lot of magic - hour backlighting of the rural locales in which the story unfolds . besides sketching the story of how a son becomes his own man , trees also shows how canada\u2019s already thinly populated provinces are transformed by the arrival of industrial mechanization and the departure of the land\u2019s sons to the big cities .\nthe sea of trees isn\u2019t just a bad film ; it should be an embarrassment to everyone involved in making it . the metaphysical weepie deals with sensitive subject matter \u2014 depression , suicide , and cancer \u2014 with the grace and subtlety of an atomic bomb , ending in a finale so painfully misjudged that it must be seen to be believed .\nthe filmography of an american master , from indy to the extra - terrestrial .\nthere may not be a genre with as limited a capacity to surprise a grown audience as the still - ubiquitous coming - of - age drama : while teenage kicks may switch from generation to generation , the process of self - realization they accompany remains universally constant . it\u2019s the subtler textures of environment and character , then , that distinguish entries like francois peloquin\u2019s debut feature , \u201cthe sound of trees , \u201d from the dewy - eyed dross . short and bittersweet , this portrait of a 17 - year - old trainee lumberjack seeking a life larger than his rural corner of quebec benefits from a close , compassionate view of its protagonist\u2019s community \u2014 including several adults who haven\u2019t yet found their own direction . balmily shot and dynamically anchored by proven young talent antoine l\u2019ecuyer , \u201ctrees\u201d will spread its branches amply on the festival circuit .\nthe film , which stars matt dillon as a serial killer , apparently features scenes in which women and children are mutilated . it premiered at cannes on monday and hundreds of people reportedly walked out .\nthe film is set in rural qu\u00e9bec , and tells the story of mildly rebellious 17 - year old j\u00e9r\u00e9mie ( antoine l ' equyer , a cute but emotionally vacant actor ) . j\u00e9r\u00e9mie works at this father ' s economically stressed saw mill ( the local forests are being destroyed by big industrial companies . ) honestly not much happens in the film . the boy has adventures , and subsidiary characters do strangely unexplained things . the script rambles along to its vague conclusion ; but i never got involved enough with the characters to care .\nviff gratefully acknowledges the generous support of our premier partners rogers communications and telefilm canada . viff also extends its thanks and appreciation to the city of vancouver , province of british columbia through the ministry of community , sport , and cultural development ' s community gaming grants program , as well as the government of canada through the department of canadian heritage ' s building communities through arts & heritage program .\nat 17 j\u00e9r\u00e9mie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small canadian town where he lives .\nthe film\u2019s structure is a familiar one for van sant . his 2002 effort gerry is a noble experiment in non - narrative cinema , in which casey affleck and matt damon are trapped in the desert . the men journey toward a punishingly empty horizon in search of food , water , or rescue . the sea of trees marries the director\u2019s minimalist tendencies , likewise on display in his palme d\u2019or winner elephant , to the forced whimsy of his 2011 feature restless . in that wistful teen cancer romance , a young man spends his days hanging out with the ghost of a wwii kamikaze pilot , who is helping the young man come to terms with the death of his parents . he will learn to cherish life again when he meets a free - spirited young woman at a funeral he attended uninvited , a curiously unexplained hobby of his . the catch is , of course , that she has just months left to live .\nthe sea of trees , however , makes that film look like citizen kane . in an unnecessary series of flashbacks , it\u2019s revealed that arthur was once married to joan ( watts ) , from whom he became increasingly estranged over the course of their two - decade marriage . joan and arthur don\u2019t have problems . they have a collection of clich\u00e9s . the couple was once happy \u2014 that is , before arthur cheated with a co - worker . why did he do it ? arthur tells takumi he isn\u2019t sure , but that\u2019s because the screenplay by chris sparling ( buried ) doesn\u2019t seem to have thought too much about the answer .\nthis is quickly turning into an exceptional year for canadian coming - of - age titles with a strong sense of place : at cannes , andrew cividino \u2019s sleeping giant , set on lake ontario , was part of the critics\u2019 week lineup ; in munich , the superior german -

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

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

time feature writer - director weaves a complex portrait of a constrained life , [ \u2026 ]\nrenan ozturk , the high - altitude cinematographer who worked on sherpa , is back behind the camera , with his footage making up more than 60 % of the final cut . the archive of the canadian production house sherpas cinema is also mined , with the end result providing astonishing vision of mountaineers , ice climbers , free soloists , speedflyers , heliskiers , snowboarders , wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers .\nmountain briefly revisits territory trodden by sherpa , with footage of hundreds of climbers in a cold - climate conga line to the everest summit . \u201cthis isn\u2019t climbing , it\u2019s queuing , \u201d dafoe intones as we see an oxygen - masked climber revel in his moment at the peak as those behind him wish he\u2019d hurry the hell up . breathtaking footage of the 2015 avalanche that hit everest base camp and killed 22 people , many of them sherpas , reminds us that \u201cthe most risks [ are ] taken by those who have least\u201d .\nthe peaks in mountain are both irresistible and formidable : snow cakes on sunlit heights like lashings of whipped cream ; climbers huddle in a tent swinging on a sheer rock face , waiting out a blizzard as avalanches thunder around them ; mountaineers celebrate their arrival at a peak by passing around a joint ; a rock climber plummets , his body slamming against the cliff like a flailing spider - man ; a lone hiker\u2019s fist punctures the sky upon arrival at a summit ; a stranded australian climber whimpers , \u201coh god , take me home . \u201d\n\u201cmountain\u201d constantly upends expectation , turning tzvia into an ever - more intriguing character without the pretense of getting inside her head and making her all - knowable . since she\u2019s a religious woman , it\u2019s presumed that the tome she silently reads from in the cemetery is a prayer book : instead , it\u2019s poetry written by a woman buried there . her fascination with the prostitutes and their work may seem unusual for an orthodox woman , but kayam is specifically forcing auds to question such assumptions : why is it unusual for a woman , any woman , to be interested in sex ?\na small turkish army squad are left to guard a field antenna on a border mountain . it suddenly falls to an ambush from isis . it ' s a heroic story of two soldiers trapped in the ambush , fighting for their lives . there ' s an interesting and humorous interplay between an educated , wealthy young man , the other a coarse street smart ruffian . in a series of backstory flashbacks we learn more about their lives and their digs . the protagonist is very reminiscent of the young ' taylor ' from the oscar winning epic , platoon . they put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to try and survive an unforgiving situation . the landscape is beautiful and tension is moderate as we await their pickup .\nklein has an open , kindhearted face that effortlessly conveys sympathy of character ; it\u2019s impossible not to like her , especially when itay marom\u2019s camera casts her in a naturally golden glow . subtle shifts in lighting , from warm to a cooler white , effectively capture changes in mood , and the sense of place is expertly caught in both lensing and art direction . from the view of al - aqsa mosque ( the temple mount ) through the kitchen window , to her daily awakening by the sound of the muezzin\u2019s call , the pic ensures that viewers are reminded of where they are , in a no man\u2019s land ( or rather , a dead man\u2019s land ) caught between multiple religions . equally palpable , via such images as a striking nighttime shot of tzvia holding a flashlight and walking up the tomb - filled hillside , to the cavern - like interiors of the family home , \u201cmountain\u201d conveys the sense of a living woman entombed .\na vast cemetery on the slopes of the mount of olives is the striking setting for yaelle kayam\u2019s subtle , handsome debut feature .\nher name is tzvia ( klein ) , or at least that\u2019s what she tells a drunken prostitute one night , well into the drama \u2014 otherwise , no one ever utters her name . she\u2019s mother of four , wife to yeshiva teacher reuven ( avshalom pollak ) , and she spends her days with housework in their home surrounded by the ancient cemetery spread out over the mount of olives . a devout woman with her head always covered , tzvia is starved for adult company , since reuven\u2019s job often keeps him away until past dinner time .\ntwo hasidic women ring her bell after a funeral , asking if they can use her bathroom ; their brief conversation allows the script to quickly convey background information in an organic way without coming across as didactic . clearly tzvia would like to move from this isolating locale and be a part of a community , but reuven\u2019s job is earning him ever - increasing recognition , and besides , he\u2019s not paying attention to his wife\u2019s needs on any level . pushing their beds together doesn\u2019t help , and about the only time she sees him now is when he\u2019s performing early morning prayers .\nfrustrated by the lack of company and tired of largely being cooped up inside all day , she strolls the cemetery ; one night she sees a prostitute servicing a client . another evening she takes a pair of binoculars and realizes there\u2019s quite a business going on at one end , with several pimps overseeing a few alcoholic whores . when she\u2019s discovered , the pimps rough her up , but the next night she brings them food \u2014 it\u2019s a bizarre arrangement for everyone , yet they maintain a wary silence , allowing her to sit by and observe .\noutside her family , the only regular human contact she has is with abed ( haitham ibrahem omari ) , the palestinian caretaker of the cemetery . he\u2019s consistently courteous and respectful , while she\u2019s self - conscious not only because he\u2019s a man but also ( it\u2019s implied ) because he\u2019s palestinian . he opens up to her at one moment about his own loveless marriage , yet she\u2019s unable to consider him a kindred spirit . it\u2019s easier , perhaps , to risk a hesitant association with a drunken prostitute , even though she\u2019s humiliated by her .\nproduction : ( israel -

year - old ibrahim abdel qader and 20 - year - old fares hammadi were found early friday in an apartment in the turkish town of sanliurfa . qader had been stabbed dozens of times and both men were , in the gruesome fashion that has become isis ' s trademark , beheaded .\nnbc news has now learned the answer to that question : in an exclusive interview , ibrahim ' s brother , ahmed , explained what happened .\nit all started , he said , about a month and a half ago , when an acquaintance of theirs from raqqa , tlas surur , arrived in sanliurfa . the man claimed he had defected from isis and wanted to help the movement against them .\nhe came in a smart way ,\nahmed told nbc news sunday .\nibrahim was a good guy , welcoming , so tlas knew he could get to him .\nsurur rented an apartment just across the alley from where ibrahim and ahmed ' s family lived and , in time , grew very close to them and their circle of activist friends . ahmed said surur became like family and that ibrahim often spent the night in his apartment .\na picture ahmed shared with nbc news shows surur and hammadi smiling for the camera , dressed in the fashionable clothes favored by young syrians in turkey .\nahmed also showed nbc news the windows of surur ' s rented apartment across the alley . he says surur covered them with cardboard and blankets right before the murders and invited over two suspected accomplices . a turkish police source told nbc news that other evidence linking surur to the murder has been found .\nfares hammadi , left , and the alleged perpetrator of the double murder , tlas surur , when he was spending time with the two activists as an isis defector .\nibrahim ' s brother believes that surur managed to slip back to syria and rejoined isis . but he hasn ' t remained silent . while we were preparing to interview ahmed today , he received a stream of text messages .\nlooking at the screen of his smart phone ahmed read aloud what he said was a threatening message he had received from surur :\nwe killed ibrahim to break your hearts and we will come after you with another knife ,\nthe message read .\nahmed says he is not afraid and vows to continue his brother ' s work .\nif they think this will stop me , they are wrong ,\nhe said after receiving the threat .\ni ' m more determined . we will keep going until we are finished with isis . this is a promise for ibrahim and all of the victims of raqqa .\nnbc news had met ibrahim before . about a year ago , he was interviewed in sanliurfa . he was asked about the death threats he was already receiving at the time . he didn ' t flinch .\nthey ' ve put a ransom on my head ,\nhe said of isis ,\nfor anyone who kills me .\ndespite the threats , ibrahim was proud of the small group of activists he was part of . most were young men from raqqa who went from open activism against the regime of president bashar al - assad to clandestine work after isis took over their town . since april 2014 they filmed in secret scenes of life under the rule of the so - called\nislamic state .\nthe campaign eventually developed into a website with multiple social media accounts .\nduring the interview with nbc news last year ibrahim also recounted how before escaping raqqa he had been beaten , whipped and tortured in an isis prison . still , he said , nothing was going to stop him from working for\nthe heroic people in raqqa .\nwe are the sons of our country ,\nibrahim told nbc news at the time .\nif we don ' t spread the news of our suffering and show the crimes of isis to the whole world , who will ?\non sunday , his friends and fellow activists tweeted pictures in his and hammadi ' s memory . in one of them the caption read\nthe last things ibrahim left behind :\nkeys , some business cards covered in blood and a press id .\njihadis mowed down pedestrians on london bridge before stabbing random members of the public in nearby borough market on saturday night .\nat least seven people have been killed and 48 more have been injured , with 21 in a critical condition .\nand it has been shockingly claimed that the sick killers were being monitored by police in east london .\nseven people have died after being struck by a van and attacked by knifemen on london bridge on saturday night .\naccording to the telegraph , an isis inspired terror cell in barking were recorded by terror cops discussing how to use youtube to plan their deadly attack .\none of the jihadis urged the group to \u201cuse a car as a weapon\u201d and bragged that there were more than a dozen students in barking \u201cwanting to martyr themselves\u201d .\nhe reportedly said : \u201cyoutube videos all make it properly easy to do . \u201d\nneighbours of one of the jihadis claimed to have reported him several times for trying to radicalise kids in the area .\nanother claimed to have reported him for his jihadi views after watching clips of a well known us hate preacher .\nvile khalid masood , who committed the westminster atrocity , is also said to have watched youtube clips before plotting his \u201clone wolf\u201d attack .\npolice have requested that the identities of the three terrorists are not revealed while the investigation is ongoing .\nmax george to ditch the wanted tom ' s wedding to jet to russia . . .\nant mcpartlin ' won ' t return to i ' m a celeb this year ' says pal . . .\na major discount department store is closing dozens of outlets after its last -

nominated cartel land is a triumphant one . where his previous film was a journalistic masterclass in taking access to the extreme ,\ninstead turns the camera on heroic journalists themselves . in doing so , heineman may have made the definitive contemporary documentary about the tragedy of syria , as well as an epoch - defining piece on modern media tactics .\nthe bulk of the story takes place away from raqqa , the founders having had to flee to turkey and germany . that they are not safe in the former is one of the tragedies of the film , with perhaps the greater tragedy that even in germany they\u2019re treated with disrespect by marching anti - refugee groups . worse than that , isis have called for the killing of the rbss founders wherever they flee to . at the end of the film , one of them shakes uncontrollably with trauma and guilt at being one of those who got out of raqqa when many of his sources are unlikely to leave alive .\nthe activists are clearly comfortable with heineman , who is an invisible presence \u2013 after all , they\u2019ve done a good job of telling their own stories up to this point . there are many touching moments of brotherhood and candid emotional testimonies of unimaginable pain . one sequence where two rbss members watch isis propaganda footage of their father being shot in the head is a difficult but brilliant crystallisation of the real impact of isis\u2019s day - to - day control of their territory . a moment where one of the same men sends a message to the still - active facebook account of his brother , killed only for being related to them , is horrifying .\nthis is a remarkable documentary that is likely to win heineman more awards and hopefully rbss more attention , although , stuck between assad and isis , it seems increasingly unlikely that they will have a home city to return to . city of ghosts is a timely piece that testifies to the historical truth that when a vacuum of power forms , the most cynical will rush in to fill it , but also to the power of journalists . those who oppose the presence of syrian refugees in our cities would do well to watch this film and understand a little better . it\u2019s no exaggeration to say that when the histories of 21st - century syria and citizen journalism are written , this documentary will be a key part of them .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nseparately , robb ' s mother , catelyn stark , releases tywin ' s son , ser jaime lannister , from imprisonment at riverrun , hoping tyrion lannister in king ' s landing will exchange jaime for robb ' s sisters , sansa and arya . [ 17 ] en route , however , vargo hoat ' s brave companions chop off jaime ' s sword hand and bring him to roose bolton at harrenhal . [ 18 ] disavowing the brave companions ' actions , [ 19 ] roose , whose son ramsay was responsible for the sack of winterfell , [ 20 ] does not return jaime to robb or lord edmure tully , but instead sends jaime back to his family in king ' s landing . before parting , jaime and roose agree to give the other ' s regards to robb and tywin . [ 21 ]\na ploy is developed in which walder lures robb to the twins , under the pretense of an invite to another marriage pact , to allegedly forgive robb ' s broken vow . [ 22 ] the marriage , between robb ' s uncle edmure and walder ' s daughter roslin , is an invitation which robb cannot decline after already slighting his allies once , since he needs house frey ' s assistance for his planned siege of moat cailin . [ 5 ] robb leaves jeyne at riverrun with his great uncle , ser brynden tully , while he journeys north with thirty - five hundred , mostly northmen with some rivermen in edmure ' s retinue . [ 5 ]\nafter robb and his army arrive at the western castle of the twins , he apologizes to walder for his slight and catelyn stark asks for bread and salt to secure guest right . [ 3 ] robb , catelyn , and edmure are given chambers in the water tower between the two castles . robb ' s men cross the roaring green fork to the eastern shore , where several thousand freys are encamped amidst three great feast tents . [ 3 ] freys use several wagons and carts as a perimeter wall for the eastern camp ' s three tents and numerous pavilions . [ 11 ] roose bolton brings five hundred horse and three thousand foot to the twins , mostly men from the dreadfort , as well as some karstarks whose loyalty is in question after robb ' s execution of lord rickard karstark at riverrun . [ 3 ]\nlord walder forbids robb from keeping grey wind within his castles , since the lord of the crossing considers the direwolf dangerous . [ 6 ] separately , the outlaw sandor clegane brings robb ' s missing sister , arya , toward the twins in hopes of a reward . [ 11 ]\nafter edmure weds roslin , lord walder hosts a feast for the highborn in one of his castles , while a\nbastard feast\nfor lesser ranks is held in the second castle . [ 6 ] common soldiers celebrate in tents outside the castle . the freys provide wagons and casks of ale , mead , and wine to their guests . [ 11 ] [ 6 ]\nperformed songs include\nalysanne\n,\nflowers of spring\n,\niron lances\n, and\nthe queen took off her sandal , the king took off his crown\n. a drunken greatjon umber bellows\nthe bear and the maiden fair\n. [ 6 ] robb dances with roslin , several other freys , and dacey mormont . several poor dishes are served , the most appetizing being pink lamb . roose toasts walder ' s grandsons , big walder and little walder , who are in the care of roose ' s son , ramsay snow , after the sack of winterfell . [ 20 ] as part of the bedding custom , edmure and roslin depart the hall in the company of many guests of the opposite gender .\nby using sellswords and knights at the feast disguised as musicians , and getting robb ' s men too drunk to fight , lord walder frey is able to coordinate a massacre with little loss to his own men . while the unknowing edmure beds roslin , [ 23 ] the twin castles and the outlying camp are signalled when the band in walder ' s hall begins playing\nthe rains of castamere\n. [ 6 ] few of the northmen in the hall have a chance to react , and most are butchered on the spot by the musicians ' crossbows or frey knives . ser ryman frey leads frey men - at - arms with longaxes .\nmailed northmen in shaggy fur cloaks\u2014boltons and possibly karstarks\u2014join the freys , and the betrayers kill many of robb stark ' s personal guard , including smalljon umber , dacey mormont , and ser wendel manderly . roose slays robb , who was previously shot by arrows , with a thrust to the heart while stating that\njaime lannister sends his regards .\n[ 6 ] catelyn uses a knife to saw the neck of lord walder ' s grandson , the fool jinglebell , after which ser raymund frey slits catelyn ' s throat . [ 6 ]\nin the camp outside the eastern castle , the three specially - rigged feast tents collapse and are set aflame with fire arrows during the slaughter , having been oiled earlier . [ 1 ] while drunken northmen burn inside the tents , bastard walder rivers leads armored frey men - at - arms against robb ' s men outside of the tents . sandor defends arya against three men , including ser garse goodbrook and ser tytos frey , and the hound escapes with arya after knocking the girl unconscious . [ 1 ]\nthough no definitive count is known , most of robb ' s men are killed or captured , while house frey loses approximately fifty men in the camps . [ 2 ]\nafter the battle , the freys hack and mutilate robb ' s body and cut off his head along with that of grey wind . in a mockery of robb ' s relationship with his direwolf , the freys sew grey wind ' s head onto robb ' s decapitated body and nail a crown atop the direwolf ' s head . [ 25 ] robb ' s bronze and iron crown is kept by ryman frey . [ 8 ] catelyn is thrown naked into the river in a mockery of house tully funeral customs . [ 25 ] frey soldiers ride along the green fork in search of stray stark survivors . [ 10 ]\nthe red wedding brings an end to the northern rebellion , with roose bolton being named the warden of the north for his aid in it , and several great benefits befell house frey , including the lordship of riverrun . however , it also destroys what honor is left in the house , as they violated one of the oldest and most sacred traditions of old , the guest right . this leads to antipathy and disgust towards the house by most westerosi , including their own allies . additionally , though no other house has dreamed to repeat the breaking of the right , it has left a more lasting stain on the ancient guest right , with safety and security in a strange castle no longer being considered guaranteed .\nthe iron throne gains a number of valuable prisoners which help resolve hostilities around westeros , and most river lords bend the knee . [ 26 ] [ 27 ] with edmure tully captive , ser jaime lannister is able to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the siege of riverrun . black walder frey threatens to hang patrek mallister outside his father ' s castle which results in lord jason ' s surrender at the siege of seagard . greatjon umber and ser marq piper are held as hostages to ensure their houses ' loyalty ; hother umber allies with lord bolton , and lord clement piper is forced to help besiege riverrun . lord jonos bracken besieges lord tytos blackwood at raventree .

[ 8 ] the crown ends up in the grasp of lady stoneheart [ 28 ] after ryman ' s party is ambushed . [ 12 ]\nnorthmen resent the presence of freys who traveled with lord bolton to winterfell for the wedding of his son ramsay , since many lost kin at the red wedding . [ 4 ]\nser jared frey tells lord wyman manderly that , contrary to the true story , the red wedding was actually robb stark ' s work . according to the frey fictionalization , robb changed into a wolf - man beast before the eyes of the freys and tore out the throat of jinglebell , a harmless simpleton . furthermore , he allegedly would have slain lord walder frey if ser wendel manderly had not put himself in the way . according to this version of the event , the other northmen also turned into wolves to join robb ' s attack .

[ 2 ]\njared : the red wedding was the young wolf ' s work . he changed into a beast before our eyes and tore out the throat of my cousin jinglebell , a harmless simpleton . he would have slain my lord father too , if ser wendel had not put himself in the way .\ndavos : is it your claim that robb stark killed wendel manderly ? jared : and many more . mine own son tytos was amongst them , and my daughter ' s husband . when stark changed into a wolf , his northmen did the same . the mark of the beast was on them all . wargs birth other wargs with a bite , it is well - known . it was all my brothers and i could do to put them down before they slew us all . davos : ser , may i have your name ? jared : ser jared , of house frey .\nthey speak of wargs and skinchangers and assert that it was robb stark who slew my wendel . the arrogance of it ! they do not expect the north to believe their lies , not truly , but they think we must pretend to believe or die . roose bolton lies about his part in the red wedding , and his bastard lies about the fall of winterfell . and yet so long as they held wylis i had no choice but to eat all this excrement and praise the taste . [ 34 ]\nbarbrey : the north remembers , frey . aenys : stark dishonored us . that is what you northmen had best remember . [ 4 ]\nrobb who had been more a brother to theon than any son born of balon greyjoy ' s loins . murdered at the red wedding , butchered by the freys . i should have been with him . where was i ? i should have died with him . [ 35 ]\nsome of it can be difficult to do . i mean the red wedding was the hardest thing i ever wrote . i wrote the entire book , i skipped over the red wedding and wrote all the way to the end , and then i came back and did the red wedding , because it was just emotionally difficult to do that . but you know , hopefully , if it ' s hard to write , it ' ll be hard to read , too . it\u2019ll affect the reader emotionally . i mean if the reader is just reading the book and terrible things happen , and they just put it aside and say , \u201cwhat\u2019s for dinner , \u201d you\u2019ve kind of failed . your characters haven ' t achieved any reality here . if sad things happen in the book , the readers should be sad about them . and that does involve a certain amount of emotional vulnerability on the part of the writer . [ 36 ]\nburley men are not directly mentioned at the red wedding but are earlier mentioned as being part of roose ' s host that is attacked by the mountain ' s men whilst crossing the trident , shortly before the red wedding . [ 3 ] therefore it can be assumed that the remnants of houses burley were present at the red wedding .\nhouse mollen is not directly mentioned at the red wedding . however as they were present with robb at the whispering wood it can be assumed they were present at later battles and events in the riverlands and westerlands , including the red wedding .\nhouse slate is not directly mentioned at the red wedding . however it is stated by lady barbrey dustin that the slates campaigned in the riverlands & westerlands with robb stark . [ 4 ] therefore it can be assumed that slates were present at the red wedding ."]}

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

i ' m no fool .\nthought bubble : a rare live - action one in i can hardly wait , while curly is dreaming .\nimpressions : this short reminds me of half - shot shooters , but that short was better . sometimes it isn\u2019t about having a foil , but having a good one . the ending scene is one we\u2019ll see again to close another short . for anyone who\u2019s seen dr . strangelove or : how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb it might conjure memories of a famous scene . that\u2019s a great film , this short isn\u2019t .\nin both you nazty spy ! and the follow up i\u2019ll never heil again , the stooges keep the same roles in spoofing various high ranking nazis . moe howard is moe hailstone , dictator of moronika in the role of hitler . in the follow up , he even dons a black tape moustache for the entire short . in the original , he wears one once applying it by \u201caccident . \u201d larry fine is minister of propaganda pebble and affects a limp to accurately capture his nazi counterpart joseph goebbels . curly howard , in an army uniform with medals decorating both front and back , is field marshal herring . a lampoon of hermann goring . the jewish stooges inserted yiddish words or phrases as inside jokes for jewish audience members who understood the language . even more irony as jewish actors play nazi leaders and have them speak yiddish .\nas the axis partners , the bay of rum , were fighting with dictator hailstone , chizzilini was standing there giving the hitler salute three times as he was saying ' heil ' , after each one .\nturkey , which he represents , was never a member of the axis , and remained carefully neutral throughout much of world war ii . but turkey was the center of the ottoman empire , which was a major part of the central powers in world war i , as was the german empire . it was never a signatory to the pact of steel ( the original . yet its relationships with nazi germany were . the ussr had joined germany ' s september 1 , 1 .\nin some sans serif typefaces , the uppercase letter i , ' i ' may be difficult to distinguish from the lowercase letter l , ' l ' , the vertical bar character ' . in serifed typefaces , the capital form of the .\nwhat i\u2019m writing about right now is the jokes that are perhaps recycled , because , well , they\u2019re funny so why not use it again ? or maybe they\u2019re used as less apparent nod to previous films . either way , here are my arbitrarily ranked top 5 reused gags in mel brooks\u2019 movies\u2026\nyou either love it or hate it ,\nsolomon responded .\nit ' s like the stooges .\nin unison , everyone on the room said ,\ni love the stooges ,\nor\ni hate the stooges .\ndo you have anything on tonight ?\nno , not a thing .\nyou ' ll catch cold .\n[ rowrff !

) . lillolman insists that he helps thorndyke overcome this with psychoanalysis starting the following day . then this gem happens :\nthe great dictator ,\na 1940 film by charlie chaplin that ' s a thinly veiled mockery of adolf hitler , was , not surprisingly , never permitted to be shown in nazi germany .\nthe interview\nmay not be much of a film , but then again , it doesn ' t take much to put a hollywood movie on one or more countries ' blacklists .\na sequel to you nazty spy , with the three stooges again poking fun at the axis leaders of world war two . directed by jules white , who made so many stooges ' shorts .\nstep forth , seek glory !

life incident : when moe tried to teach shemp how to drive , shemp crashed the car through the glass storefront of a barbershop . shemp was too terrified to ever try driving again .\nwe see this gag again in history of the world , part 1 , in the ancient rome vignette . as comicus and his friends escape caesar\u2019s palace after a bad stand up show , they follow miriam to safety . at 40 : 30 , she says to them , \u201cnow hurry ! walk this way . \u201d she sashays off like a girly girl , and comicus , josephus , and swiftus sashay with as much feminine attitude as the vestal virgin . again , it\u2019s silly , it\u2019s a throwaway gag , but damnit , gregory hines is amazing , and i adore this moment in the movie .\npaper - thin disguise : this trope is quite commonplace in stooges ' shorts . in one , the boys end up cooking / catering at a party for a judge who wants to send them up the river . moe :\noh , he ' ll never recognize us in these outfits !\n( apparently , just wearing a white jacket and chef ' s hat renders you totally unrecognizable . ) in another western - themed short , curly masquerades as a justice of the peace , but is not recognized by christine mcintyre until he lifts the tiny ( and i mean tiny ) little toupee off his head , points at his face , and mugs .\nimpressions : i don\u2019t think the title has anything to do with this short . if it does , i don\u2019t understand . regardless , this is an enjoyable short . first the stooges fail at one business and moe sings a catchy jingle , then they go into a business they have no business being in due to a misunderstanding .\nwe now see field marshal herring looking at dictator hailstone with a wicked look on his face as he has now stuck his tongue out at him once again and has reached over and pulled off his moustache in a state of madness .\nimpressions : a sentimental short , and i\u2019m not a fan of those . vernon dent is back in this one . this time he\u2019s aligned with the stooges instead of being on the receiving end as their foil . not that this is uninspired as much as i didn\u2019t like it . this was a hard one for me to watch .\ni study their world war ii - era shorts as propaganda films ,\nhe says .\nthat carries a lot more weight than looking at belly poking .\nhowever , this joke first appeared in to be or not to be ( 1893 ) at 9 : 20 into the movie . this movie is not as well - known as say blazing saddles and it was not written or directed by mel brooks . it does star him , alongside his beloved wife and mrs . robinson herself , anne bancroft . it\u2019s set in poland at the time of the nazi invasion , and mel and anne play actors who , among other things , satirize modern politics . mel , playing fredrick bronski , has a sketch called \u201cnaughty nazis\u201d in which he plays hitler . as he enters , everyone says , \u201cheil hitler ! \u201d and he calls back , \u201cheil myself ! \u201d and the audience in the movie laughs along with the audience at home . again , simple humor , but sharp and it plays on the bravado that is expected in a dictator .\nsurrounded by idiots : moe . possibly the trope namer , though moe usually said\ni ' m surrounded by morons\ninstead . played with because moe was an idiot too .\nand the last time that we see this joke is , once again , robin hood : men in tights . robin has just been arrested after the archery contest , and marian offers herself to the sheriff of rottingham in order to prevent robin from begin hanged . the sheriff still takes robin away at 1 : 41 : 42 and says again , \u201cwalk this way . \u201d he swishes his hair and walks away with pomp and arrogance . robin and the guards shrug to each other and follow , mocking his attitude .\nhitler , he sneaks in another yiddish sexual semi - obscene expression in\nin pupik gehabt habit ,\nwhich translates to\ni ' ve had it in the belly button .\nblack comedy : happens occasionally , such as in an ache in every stake when moe tells larry to fill a cake with gas to make it look bigger . larry misinterprets the command ,\ntake the gas pipe ,\nto mean he himself should suck on the gas pipe . moe , naturally , gets annoyed and ends his scolding with ,\ni ' ll kill you later . personally !\nlarry actually looks scared ; he believes moe might actually do it !\nwe all know that the best of the best in comedy are bound to reuse a joke or two , and mel brooks is no stranger to that . when there\u2019s a sight gag , a play on words , or just a fun bit of music that works , one can be expected to maybe use it again . now i\u2019m not talking about a deliberate , self - referential callback to an earlier film , like \u201cit\u2019s good to the king\u201d from history of the world , part 1 and mentioned in spaceballs , robin hood : men in tights , and as a lyric in \u201cking of broadway\u201d in the producers musical , or \u201ca black sheriff ? \u201d from blazing saddles , referenced again in robin hood . those are easy .\nflower pot drop : curly ends up on the receiving end of one in\nnutty but nice\n, apparently as a result of someone becoming annoyed with his yodeling . he ' s reluctant to yodel again afterwards , fearing something bigger might be in store for him .\nimpressions : \u201chey , this fish looks like moe . \u201d i think i might enjoy this short more than most people . don\u2019t confuse this with the 1945 feature film rockin\u2019 in the rockies starring the stooges , but often it is . that film is on the \u201clost treasures\u201d volume included in the ultimate collection . this is enjoyable from start to finish with the fishing scene as the highlight .\nthe \u201cheil myself\u201d line is most prominently remembered from the producers ( 2005 ) because it\u2019s a whole damn song in the hitler musical . of course , in this case it\u2019s roger debris , replacing the author / actor franz liebkind , playing hitler and being as flamboyantly gay as possible . it\u2019s a delightful , traditional broadway jam , with lyrics like\nthe\nbey of rum\ncharacter ' s presence in the comedy short may refer to the historical sultanate of r\u00fbm , which occupied much of asia minor for nearly three centuries in the middle ages . turkey , which he represents , was never a member of the axis , and remained carefully neutral throughout much of world war ii . but turkey was the center of the ottoman empire , which was a major part of the central powers in world war i , as was the german empire .\nmetaldams : -

( however , turkey was the center of the ottoman empire , which was a major part of the central powers in world war i . germany was also part of the central powers . ) the soviet union , on the other hand , although never a signatory to the pact of steel ( and , obviously , inimical to the anti - comintern pact ) could be , due to its friendly relations with germany up until june 22 , 1941 , considered a\nsilent partner\nof the axis with its previous co - invasion of poland after germany on september 1 , in mid - september 1939 .\nthis was actually a large part of what made the stooges likeable . they ' re all incredibly stupid jerks ( moe just happens to be the biggest one ) , but underneath it , they never display any malice to anyone . not even toward their antagonists , until they start actively doing something incredibly underhanded or hurting someone helpless .\nimpressions : when i said it would be difficult to choose a favorite stooge short , my mistake . this is my favorite stooge short . while several can compete and come close , this one always comes out on top . this short is a satire of nazi germany with moe in the role of adolph hitler . this short has so many historical film firsts and is important not only to the history of american film , but america in general i can\u2019t possibly list them all here . i think in fact this short warrants its own review . in a way it reminds me of another famous satire film by another famous comedy team , the marx brothers duck soup .\nwe hear dictator hailstone saying to the minister of propaganda and field marshal herring as they are in their little huddle : {\nwe ' ll fight them for it and the winner get the world ; ' heekata , heefa , heefa , feef , feef , fife , fife , hukabada , hukabada , tryketda , henka !\n} .\npoisoned chalice switcheroo : used in multiple shorts . in one notable instance , shemp and the villainess take turns distracting each other and swapping their wine glasses . the villainess , however , simply taps the glasses together when it ' s her turn , causing shemp to swap the glasses around again and give himself the poison .\nnot quite as good as you nazty spy - i guess moe ' s resemblance to adolf was too close not to milk for a couple of shorts . all ' comedy map ' scenes in stooge shorts go on way too long ; the map scene in this one is the worst yet ( the camera just stares at that map for over a minute ! ) . also , curly joking about bombing hospitals & orphanages is weirdly . . . . weird - it ' s humor from an area that the stooges usually steered clear of . ( the world the stooges inhabit may be populated with gangsters and bad - tempered cops , but it ' s innocent of genocide and civilian bombing - nobody ' s that evil . ) on the other hand , some of the slapstick is great and never heil is from their all -

joe , and finally emil . joe and curly joe were curly subs and larry was replaced by emil ( whose stage name was to have been harry . ) curly - replacing - shemp - replacing - curly was an aversion since shemp and curly were fundamentally different characters . the two joes were subversions as well , as they had their own style and never tried to parody curly , despite looking like him .\nwork off the debt : in the short\noily to bed , oily to rise\n, the stooges accidentally damage a farmer ' s saws ; he orders them to work for him until they can pay for new saws . however , in the next scene , they aren ' t shown doing said work and are back out wandering the countryside . it ' s never established if they did work off their debt or ran off when the farmer wasn ' t looking .\nminister of propaganda to dictator hailstone : ( as he is standing there with his hands on his waist and has a wicked look on his face as he is saying to him in an evil tone of voice ) :\nas minister of propaganda , i want to report that the people . . . . . .\nthen in 1993 , this joke was reused in robin hood : men in tights , on a significantly less relevant level . in fact it\u2019s not relevant to the genre or source material at all . at 23 : 12 , it starts again with an exterior shot , but this time of a castle , and we hear maid marian for the first time singing a cheesy song about searching for her love . it zooms in closer for a bit , then cuts again to an exterior shot of the closed stained glass windows on marian\u2019s balcony , coming in even closer to the window . then it cuts away to marian in the bath brushing her hair and singing some more , and then right at 23 : 58 , you hear glass shatter and marian turns to see a camera has broken through her window . probably the best part about this is that she acknowledges it , looks confused for a split second then goes back to hopefully singing .\n. . . after several previous failed attempts to find him in the 1930 california census , i hit pay dirt . by varying spellings of his name i found him listed as duncan renalds , possibly a writing error by the census official . his age is given as 25 , as it should be , and it says he was married at age 20 but by 1930 was divorced . his occupation is listed as ' actor / motion pictures ' . he was living at 1737 north whitley ave . , los angeles , as were many other unrelated people . i assume this was a hotel or large boarding house . he was paying $ 100 per month rent , pretty hefty for the depression . best of all , he told the census taker he was born in new jersey , and that one parent was also born in new jersey and the other in spain . of course , he may have fibbed but if not , his jailing on immigration charges would seem to have been a bogus conviction .\nfast - paced gag - laden satire among the stooges finest . has anyone mentioned the part where curly says to camera\nthey ' re nuts !\nin ref . to moe and larry ? cracked me up ! extra kudos to only pool game in a three stooges film . darn , i can ' t think of a signature !\nany resemblance . . . a short opens with a disclaimer that says something like\nany resemblance between the characters in this picture and any persons , living or dead , is a miracle .\nalso used in : you nazty spy ! \u00b7 back from the front \u00b7 i ' m a monkey ' s uncle \u00b7 don ' t throw that knife\nyou nazty spy is a brilliant film & i take nothing away from it when i say this one is better . the map bit goes too long but that ' s why we have fast forward buttons . favorite parts : larry & curly ' s goosestep when entering moe ' s office , the wild & hilarious turkey keep away from moe & of course the ending fight over hailstone ' s world . jules , felix , & clyde deserve a uniform for putting together such a great short . those stooges ain ' t bad either . did we take the dykes of holland ? sotainly ! and the van dykes of amsterdam , the up - dykes of rotterdam , and the hunchback of notre dame !\nwhen you think about it , the stooges goofing on hitler in the 1940 ' s the way they did was pretty ballsy to say the least . . . especially with moe being jewish . i ' m sure it went over with hitler like a lead zepplin ( no rock band pun intended ) . great piece eddie . your posts are awesome !\none episode wonder : jerks of all trades , a 1949 tv show that never went past the pilot stage . columbia had stipulated in the stooges ' contract that they were not to perform in a tv series that could compete with their short subjects , and threatened to cancel their contract and sue them if they tried to sell the show . as a compromise , columbia sold a package of 30 shorts to abc ( the network the pilot was intended for ) , making it the first time the shorts would air on television .\nfrance , spain , the united kingdom , finland and germany banned\nbattleship potemkin ,\na celebrated but\nrabble rousing\nsilent film from the fledgling soviet union , in the years between world war i and world war ii for fear it would incite marxist revolution . as it happens , their problems came from the opposite end of the ideological spectrum .\nmr . ixnay to king herman the 6 and 7 / 8 ' s : ( as mr . ixnay is saying to him in a really gleeful tone of voice as he has a mischievous and happy smile on his face as he is saying to the king in a joyful tone of voice ) :\ni ' m positive , your majesty , look !\nprincess gilda to mr . umpchay : ( as she is standing there looking at him with a really devious look on her face as she is saying to him in a really evil tone of voice ) :\ndon ' t worry umpchay , when i get through giving hailstone an astrology session , he won ' t know which end his axis is standing on !\nking herman the 6 and 7 / 8 ' s to the axis partners : ( as the king is now looking at mr . amscray , mr , ixnay , and mr . umpchay with a wicked look on his face as he is saying to them in a mad and evil tone of voice ) :\nyou betrayed me once , how can i believe you now ?"]}

[ \u2026 ]\nwith over two decades of experience , we understand the complexities involved with each stage of film and tv production \u2013 from development , production and media tours , to moving large groups of people and equipment .\nderek jarman is one of those film makers . he\u2019s a bit of an enfant terrible , especially in this , his first film . there are some deliberate nods to fellini\u2019s cinematic style , and the whole italian art house oeuvre clearly had a strong influence on the direction this film took . it\u2019s not got the same directorial voice and chaotic association - by - accident that jarman develops later in films like the last of england ( 1988 ) , and nor does he quite reach the levels of ultraviolence he plays with in jubilee ( 1977 \u2013 the film which really established jarman\u2019s cinematic identity , and one of the few films i\u2019ve actually had to stop watching half way through ) . of course , what most people reading will know sebastiane for is not the historic importance of jarman\u2019s historic role in british cinema , but the porn .\nso you take the the events of the film exactly as they happen , and assume that they quite literally translate into sono ' s worldview ? that ' s barely a step away from watching any movie and assuming that the views of some vile / evil character must represent the filmmaker ' s real life views , especially considering it ' s the men objectifying her who ' re ultimately the film ' s villains .\nthe age of consequences looks at climate change through the lens of resources scarcity , economic migration , us national security , and global stability . pf pictures asked me to build a wordpress site , a mirror site to that of the their previously released film , to deliver information about the film and featured interviews , to present the filmmakers\u2019 goals , and to outline ways their audience can get involved and support the project .\nit ' s not a mix made for the mainstream , and tag ' s release in japan on july 12 has failed to emulate the chart - topping success of sono ' s star - fueled but structurally conventional pimp - and - prostitute drama shinjuku swan in early june . just like the erstwhile enfant terrible ' s early work , the film will probably leave a more lasting mark away from home : its screenings at fantasy - genre festivals in bucheon and montreal should be the start of a run of bookings for midnight - screening sections in asia or asian - themed festivals .\ndear whoever it was that brought this movie back to this website ' s database after someone ( or something ? ? ? ) replaced its page by the one for the movie tag by sion sono , making it stay that way for months , with this movie nowhere to be found here : thank you . thank you , thank you , thank you so very much .\neven i think it is overall a lesser sono and was surprised to see it get so much love in the awards categories . that being said i think its super fruitful that the film has inspired such discussion .\nfilm ' s box office & user reviews are suffering here , unfortunately . maybe fantasia prizes will give it a boost . the older\nchasing world\nfilms offered ok small scale sci - fi action , directed by salaryman issei shibata at geneon - u ( he didn ' t work in film dept . originally ) . not sure why sono couldn ' t have grafted his worldview onto the reasonably solid gensaku . . .\nthis film is also an obvious attack on misogyny , like his previous films noriko ' s dinner table and guilty of romance . let me state the obvious , once again . because a film has a rape scene does not mean it condones rape ! if you believe that , then i guess that makes all war movies pro - war ? ! ? ! ? sometimes you have to show the villain to out them ! !\nif intended as satire , tag is hamstrung by sono ' s own well developed tendencies towards fetishizing women . this feels more along the lines of an apologetic than a criticism , with everything leading up to the revelation at the end of tag aimed at the pleasure centers of creepy dudes . it has loads of stylish violence , all of it against women . there are a ludicrous number of up - skirt shots in the first act and a church full of underwear laden beauties in the second , all of it culminating in references to gaming in the third act , which , in the past year and a half alone , is an industry that has had its image tarnished by a few meatheads , or , has been exposed for its overall poor attitude towards women .\nthe actress will team with ed helms , jeremy renner , jake johnson , hannibal buress , jon hamm , annabelle wallis and rashida jones for the film , which is set to begin shooting later this month in atlanta .\nthere are very clear , precise and explicit answers to every one of those questions within the film itself . and there is no possible way you can pitch those answers as pro - woman in any sense and i see nothing within the film itself that suggests sono is presenting this worldview with any degree of criticism at all . it ' s not satire or criticism , he ' s rolling around in it and enjoying himself while doing so .\nto return to verhoeven ( which i really hesitate doing , because i don ' t mean to imply that sono ' s satire is as at all as elegant ) , starship troopers ends with a textual endorsement of a functional fascist regime that will continue to perpetuate itself ; none of the characters in the film recognize the culture they ' ve become complicit too . and yet it would be naive to call the film simply pro - fascist .\nyou are very annoying and i feel like someone needs to tell you . if you love this film so much , get down from your high horse and defend it with a proper analysis instead of trowing all the awards that it won at people . give some real arguments or kindly leave .\nit won tons of awards\nis not an argument . and honestly i think cinema is not your thing . and you are the one that doesn ' t know jack because you are clearly incapable of analyzing a film past the\nomg it ' s so cool and it won so many awards\nare you sure you even know what the film even means ?\nalthough i\u2019ve read a lot and spoken a little bit about this film , i\u2019ve never actually sat down and watched it . so last week , i finally made the time ( across two evenings \u2013 they don\u2019t make films with that epic spread any more ) . it turned out to be a surprisingly appropriate film for lent , because of the significant role played by the early christian church in the narrative ; it also finally made the chariot race in a funny thing happened on the way to the forum make sense ! but i now have a better understanding of why quo vadis has remained one of the touchstones for classical reception in film , besides its comparatively early production date .\nnot the most well formed point on my part , but what i ' m getting at is studio ' s probable lack of interest in subtext of films , and a tendency in the case of other japanese films for marketing to be misleading . basically , i don ' t think it ' s fair to say the tag line on that poster represents sono ' s point of view at all .\nwe hope you enjoy this feature length film that highlights rachael + justin\u2019s gorgeous september wedding at the farm at eagles ridge . we wish you all a happy and healthy new year and look forward to what\u2019s to come in 2018 !\nequal parts flash - trash exploitation gorefest and punchy pro - feminist action - fantasy , \u201ctag\u201d is another feather in the highly idiosyncratic cap of japanese helmer sion sono . this cavalcade of carnage set in a bizarre parallel world where women are chased and slaughtered by all manner of human and supernatural forces hits the sweet spot where grindhouse meets arthouse . far too extreme for mainstream acceptance , the pic failed to make much of an impression on its july 11 local release , but the outlook is brighter elsewhere . recent appearances at bifan and fantasia should be just the start of a lengthy fest run that will in turn boost the film\u2019s smallscreen sales fortunes .\nlet me state the obvious , once again . because a film has a rape scene does not mean it condones rape ! if you believe that , then i guess that makes all war movies pro - war ? ! ? ! ?\nbut i do have to say i completely disagree with todd ' s point about\nthat being all there is\n. i mean , the only male during the first 60 minutes is literally a grotesque pig . the other males in the film are ' wankers in the alley ' and pervert ( s ) at the end . if the film was ( only ) trying to make a chauvinistic statement , wouldn ' t it try to make men look good rather than pathetic ?\n, so all the smooth flying shots are mine in the video . chad of cinema candy edited the video in record time and we showed it on tvs to everyone at the reception . you can download this wedding film at my blog ,\nwhile the other films tend toward conventional political allegories similar to the purge , tag ' s narrative could be interpreted as a story of gender - based social oppression as seen by a woman undergoing rituals of adolescence and adulthood . the violent interventions break up long scenes of solidarity in a world without men , the sense of optimism and freedom vividly captured by drone filming and cinematic post - rock numbers from the japanese band mono .\nwith production on the new line comedy set to begin in atlanta later this month , the hollywood reporter today brings word that isla fisher ( nocturnal animals , now you see me ) is joining the tag cast . she joins an ensemble that includes jeremy renner , ed helms , jake johnson , hannibal buress , rashida jones and annabelle wallis , as well as fisher\u2019s own recent keeping up with the joneses co - star , jon hamm .\ntag is certainly not matinee fare for the faint - hearted . even for those who have seen sono ' s previous notorious gore - fests like strange circus or the kill bill - aping why don ' t you play in hell ? , the film ' s first part will still come as a visceral shock , as a mysterious wind arrives out of nowhere to abruptly ( and literally ) strike two coach loads of schoolgirls down on a country road . the only survivor of this calamity is mitsuko ( austrian - japanese actor reina triendl ) , who dodges the murderous airstream and flees to a town where , somehow , students she doesn ' t know acknowledge her as a longtime friend and classmate .\nmy friend michael elliott likes j . j . abrams , lens flares , and his wife sarah . aptly so , when he asked me to film his wedding , i did him the honor of including j . j . abrams influenced lens flares for effect .\nstructure films tasked me with building a small landing page for their project in development . that page has since grown a bit into the bill nye film home and our work together spilled into a kickstarter campaign , complete with gifs , infographics , and rewards designs .\nhigh levels of upskirt photography and grisly dismemberment notwithstanding , it\u2019s perfectly legitimate to read \u201ctag\u201d as a girl - power \u201calice in wonderland\u201d variant in which three versions of japanese womanhood find the means to kick against a male - controlled system that would seek to assign them positions of subservience and / or victimhood . though action and excitement are clearly sono\u2019s primary concerns , viewers searching for deeper meaning to all this mayhem will certainly find plenty to think about along the way .\nhave you seen the film ? the women in it - literally every single one of them - literally exist purely as male playthings . literally . it is the only reason they exist . and their only recourse , assuming they don ' t like this , is to kill themselves . literally . that ' s not prejudice , that ' s the actual , factual basis of the film . it ' s the core premise . there ' s nothing else to discuss in it , because that ' s literally all there is .\ntaking only the bare bones of its story from the book that inspired it , this film is as much a comment on cinema - and on other forms of contemporary art - as it is an experience in its own right , but it is no less gripping for that .\na couple of things about the film surprised me . although i\u2019d been prepared for it , the way peter ustinov played nero for laughs but then moved the character into a darker and more dangerous place came as a shock . the clowning buffoonish character was sustained throughout the film , ending with a surprisingly heightened emotional scene when nero had to rely on his spurned lover acte to help him commit suicide before the mob who have broken into the palace find him . there are moments that are funny despite themselves \u2013 \u201ctigellinus ! my robe of grief , \u201d nero utters as he is about to begin his musical performance over burning rome , which he has had torched so he can sing convincingly about the fall of troy . the film clearly aims to show how the spoilt and indulged emperor is abusing his authority , and thus why his fall is justified , but the pantomime aspects sit at odd with the portentous voiceover at the start of the film which labels nero the antichrist . ( i know that label forms part of the historical record and that christian texts identify nero in this way , but i wasn\u2019t expecting to hear it in a 1950s introduction . )\ncongratulations to annette + matthew ! these two are the kind of people you want to hang out with . they\u2019re silly and playful with the perfect blend of serious and sentimental . we\u2019re honored to have been apart of their wedding day and to have captured their gorgeous philly wedding on film !\ncongratulations to kristen + brendan ! this stylish new york couple came to lancaster to tie the knot last november , and we had the pleasure of capturing their day on film ! our favorite moment of the day ? the mother of the bride\u2019s reaction when she saw her daughter for the first time .\nas for the social commentary , i was amused by it . you could probably compare much of it to the anti - violence message in death wish 3 or the anti - war message in rambo . the film certainly has its fun with schoolgirls , but then again , half of japanese film , music , adult and sex industry is built on the schoolgirl phenomena . in my opinion anything as outrageously over - the - top as this can only be seen as half - parody , and should be far less offending than the understated sexism that might be found elsewhere . but obviously not everyone agrees .\nyou ' re taking half of my sentence out of context there with the ' ' sure there ' s misogyny\nthing . i never said ' ' oh it ' s only as little , no biggie ! ' ' , i ' m saying that there are miiiillions of films that have misogynistic characters ( whom i repeat are suppose to be the bad guys ) but that hardly means a film or filmmaker ' s ideas reflect that . that ' s my main point , which no one is addressing , you guys are taking a literal plot description and touting it as the film ' s message . i ' m pretty sure that ' s not general how you interpret art , and that ' s especially true of surrealism . i see characters who are misogynists ( but for the trillionth time , they are the bad guys ! ) , but i don ' t see sono making any misogynistic film making decisions .\nentitled puppet masters , yes , and very effective ones . but morally repugnant ? to who ? i ' d say not to anyone within the world of the film at all . i ' d say that ' s baggage you ' re bringing to it because you ' re a decent human being . but i don ' t see that anywhere within the film itself . closest thing i ' d say to that is the groom being a pig , but i take that more as a power play against the woman - let ' s see what horrible thing we can force her to do - than any sort of comment on the players .\nthis film forms a group of \u2018recent films on roman britain\u2019 , the others being king arthur ( 2004 ) , the last legion ( 2007 ) and the eagle ( 2011 ) . there are some interesting resonances starting to develop between these films , but each of them uses the roman frame to do something rather different as well .\nthis week , we are proud to announce the dodge cast , the official podcast of the dodge college of film and media arts ! every month , we aim to bring you some great stories from all around the dodge community ; from current students and their projects , to alumni and their successes . for the last few months , we\none form of wedding video that is gaining popularity is the same day edit , where the wedding preparations and ceremony are filmed , and a short highlight film is immediately edited and shown at the wedding reception to the guests . this is what we accomplished and what you have just viewed ( or are about to view ) , here .\nas far as the film suggesting suicide as a way out for the young women of the film as opposed to being empowered , i think this the film may be presenting a cynical and even bleak point of view , but that ' s a way to get at and try to effect a change in people ' s conscious . suicide in my opinion shouldn ' t be encouraged or made to seem cool , but in a lot of art , it does represent a form of rebellion in extremely dire situations . to present a vision where the female protagonists here can just kick ass and fight the power seems overly simplistic and even a bit naive , considering how deeply rooted misogyny is in many aspects of japanese culture . it would probably be a lot more forgettable too . the review seems genuinely disgusted with this sort of world , and i think that ' s what sono wants you and i to feel about it . if that includes roads he ' s gone in the past , then that shows the possibility of his own maturation .\nstructure films approached me to design their visual identity and home webspace . jason and david were interested in using a model of electromagnetism as the basis of their logo to reinforce their science - in - film mission . we put together a dynamic , wordpress site that uses video , full width elements , and tall , scrolling pages to engage the visitor .\ni realize that the synopsis that i wrote is incredibly ambiguous but i sincerely do not want to provide any spoilers since the film should be best experienced without any prior knowledge . i also loved the fact that the theatrical trailer does not spoil any of the film\u2019s events . having said that , the story is simply outlandish . although it is based on a manga , sion sono apparently has never read the source material and only used the premise as a entry point to his own creation . and boy , was it a creation . the film is essentially a chase movie not much unlike mad max : fury road and it could\u2019ve easily be seen as an exercise in gory exploitation no different than a grindhouse film , but sono adds themes and elements that vilify the idea of female glorification . and this is a surprise considering that sono is very guilty of the glorifying himself . everything from the japanese schoolgirl culture ( or jk , as it is referred to in japan ) to video games to films , sono takes them down and tears them a new one in funny and thought - provoking ways . funnily enough , there is no male actor in sight until the third act , but even then , the only male actor that is seen before then , his face is covered with something , for a lack of a better word , bovine . all of the seemingly random events coalesce into an ending that borders out of this world .\nbut isn ' t the perpetuation of that culture the horror he ' s getting at with the end of the movie ? perhaps you ' re right , and its merely the baggage i am bringing , but yeah i really didn ' t see the film as an endorsement of that culture in its final minutes , rather a cynical and jaded reflection of it ."]}

changing decision .\ninspired by central italian battle designs , especially the equestrian conflict of leonardo ' s battle of anghiari , titian ' s submersion of pharaoh ' s army in the red sea , with its great sweep of figures around a central void , powerfully develops aspects of the venetian tradition . in the woodcut the sea itself , in a very real sense the major protagonist , appropriately dominates the center of the design ; for all its figural dynamics , the red sea is in effect a monumental stormy seascape - a pictorial theme of obvious interest in venice .\ni kind of like the idea of an army getting sucked into a place where they ' re drowning ,\nsaid henson .\none of the key ironies is that the captain had never killed a man , he joined the army to free the slaves , and yet the first man he kills is a slave .\ndrawing from a story passed down over the years in rural kentucky near the tennessee border , writer -

- both memoirs : this boy ' s life and now in pharoah ' s army . these two works have left me with an impression of him as a writer that strikes me as similar to my impression of writers like jack london , john steinbeck , and ernest hemingway . similar , but not the same . in ways , he has that\nman ' s man\nthing about his writing that they have . in other ways , he is much more gut - wrenchingly honest and allows himself a vulnerability that i can ' t imagine someone lik\npharoah ' s army , based on a supposedly true kentucky legend , is a war movie without the war . for those who don ' t fight the battles but still have to take sides , the inner struggles can be as heartbreaking as the war itself . director robby henson ' s stark , unsentimental telling of the story has a powerful emotional impact . looking for enemies , a group of . . . read more\nno frills or fancy camera work , but an effective and moving film none the less . pharaoh ' s army is an intimate look at the civil war and how on a small scale it was waged without being on a battlefield . yankee cavalry led by chris cooper stumble upon the kentucky farm of a confederate wife played by patricia clarkson . from the get go there is tension between the troops and clarkson and her son . an accident forces the soldiers to stay and a forced bond between cooper ' s character and the farm is forged . the film has very beautiful scenes of nature and farm life . the interaction between the main combatants is very well done , along with a strong script . the plot\u2026\nwith director and writer robby henson on national public radio ' s\nmorning edition ,\napril 5 , 1996 .\nsometimes , it ' s all in the acting . cooper and clarkson . . . well , just settle in . they crackle with confused attraction as enemies in unfortunate circumstances . cooper ' s captain just wants to do the unpleasant necessary of raiding supplies and go on his way , but now he ' s in a hostage situation with no one to offer a ransom .\nwolff continues in the self -

one of the best - and this is , in effect , volume two of the autobiography he began in this boy ' s life . even under fire , wolff was self - consciously having an experience , giving himself something to write about one day . and quite a large part of what is only a small book is taken up with memories of the author ' s father , an ex - convict whose indisciplined life fostered in wolff the desire for order . so far as combat goes , we are offered , in clean and suggestive lines , a choice sequence of pregnant incidents .\na lot of my past nonfiction work has dealt with how you never know what the facts really are ,\nhe said .\nthis is based on oral history . who knows what the actual history was ? harry caudill told me this story . the rest of the script is imagined fiction . it ' s a pretty barebones little legend that we spun into a story .\nthis was on a list of movies i made years ago after reading a book about the civil war in film . it ' s a nice overlooked movie , but does get slow in places . gives a good look at how the war affects those behind the front lines , and how hard it is to be civil and neighborly in a land where it literally was neighbor against neighbor . 3 .\nthen moses lifted up his stick over the sea and god made a path dry up through the middle of the sea . the water stood up in walls on both sides and a wind made the ground dry . that night the israelites walked through the sea on dry ground to the other side . in the early morning before sunrise when the cloud lifted , the egyptians started to follow the israelites through the sea . but god made the chariot wheels fall off . so the egyptians said ,\nlet ' s get out of here ! jehovah is fighting for the israelites .\nthen when the sun came up , god told moses ,\nlift up your stick again over the sea .\nwhen moses did so , the walls of water fell down and the sea returned to its place . all the egyptians drowned , and the israelites saw the dead egyptians on the seashore . then they feared and believed in god . and the israelites sang a song praising god . miriam , the sister of moses and aaron , led the israelite women in singing and dancing for joy . that day god had saved the israelite people from the egyptian army .\ngood book but not long enough to go as deeply as i would have liked . while chronicling a year ' s military tour in vietnam , wolff renders that hazardous and appalling situation in as clear a way as i have ever read , offering up with stark clarity the dehumanizing aspects of war , the terrible compromises that must be made , and the sacrifices of conscience that go along with being a soldier .\nway too many rewards from reading this book to even mention . his sentences , both in fiction and non fiction , are some of the best i ' ve ever read . it ' s like listening to a smarter person than you ' ve ever known , speak with a poetic frankness absolutely void of sanctimony . and there are several passages / lines in this one that ' ll keep you thinking for days .\noriginal story took place at meshack ' s creek , kentucky , in 1862 ; the town no longer exists . tompkinsville is the nearest town officially recognized by the us postal service , roughly 6 miles to the west of the creek . the general area ( cumberland gap ) , during the civil war , experienced some of the most brutal clashes of the war ; not only battles , but brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor .\nit ' s a film about people who are always reacting to events . they ' re fully realized , they have their own agendas , but pretty soon they ' re drawn towards this point . the mother reminds me a lot of people who grow up in that area . she has a stubborn scots - irish sternness , she has a chance to melt but she really doesn ' t . you see a hardening of her attitudes .\nknown for his expressive brushwork , brilliant color , and hazy , atmospheric effects , renaissance painter tiziano vecelli , called titian , along with giorgione , was the founder of arte moderna , a nuanced style characterized by dynamic asymmetry and non - hierarchical compositions that broke from the work of his master , giovanni bellini . after giorgione and bellini died , titian introduced many innovations and was the considered the master of venetian painting . titian ' s 1548 painting equestrian portrait of charles v established equestrian portraiture as a new genre that referenced both the roman tradition of equestrian sculpture and the medieval representations of christian knights . one of titian\u2019s most famous paintings is the rape of europa ( 1562 ) , which introduced a powerful diagonal structure\u2014almost baroque in its blurred lines , swirling color , and vibrant brushwork . after a very successful career with many prestigious commissions , titian died of the plague that swept venice in 1576 .\ninspired by a true story of union soldiers that are headed south during the civil war ( 1862 ) with captain john hull abston played by chris cooper they stumble upon a home while traveling up a creek in southern kentucky . that home happens to inhabit the wife and son of a confederate soldier that ' s gone to war himself . a really good cast with a solid story , some shotty camera work that is expected in some indie films . overall worth a watch .\nthis is one of those rare books ; a memoir written with unflinching honesty . in turns funny , brutal and melancholic , i found this an altogether different take on the vietnam experience . wolff ' s initial description of his entry into the military and subsequent deployment to vietnam was quite amusing to read however it is the misery of command that he endures that held my attention . he finds cruelty , misogyny and distrust everywhere he turns and struggles with his conscience as he attempts to come to\nthe vietnam war memoir has been harder than expected to find . tim o ' brien is probably the famous name of the genre , but as it turns out , he is writing fictionalizations . guns up ! is strong and full - throated in its one way . enter tobias wolff . at first echoing will manchester ' s ( ww2 vet ) seemingly distant / dissociated / even perverse confrontation with the absurdities and hollowness of war , wolff quickly gets involved in a slightly mournful but at times mordant dissection of military realities . he\nalthough always keenly aware of d\u00fcrer ' s example , titan forged for himself a new kind of graphic vocabulary . he seems to have drawn across the entire surface himself , either in a full - size cartoon or , more probably , on the block itself , this is most clearly suggested by the great pen strokes of which the cloud is constructed . his use of cross - hatching , literally fluid in in its effects in the rendering of rippling waves , achieves an extraordinarily abstract richness in the synthetic structures of the great rock .\nanders understandably is the most unwilling of hostesses , but abston is an uncommonly decent man who joined the union forces specifically to free the slaves . a farmer himself , he is soon plowing anders ' field and chopping her wood . although anders remains wary , she and abston find themselves relating to each other like human beings rather than enemies . indeed , abston , three years a widower , is clearly longing for a wife and his home , so like anders ' place . inevitably , abston ' s kindness to\nthe enemy\nis not going to sit well with all his men , and suspense develops as to just how long this brief time out from war will last and how it will play out .\nso much of the life - and - death part was just luck , though . wolff explains how swiftly the military certainties dissolved . ' despite the promise implicit in our training - if you do everything right , you ' ll make it home - you couldn ' t help but notice that the good troops were getting killed right along with the slackers and shitbirds . ' he describes his close calls - a hand grenade under his truck that by some miracle didn ' t explode , a howitzer that fell from a helicopter , a fateful hand that fell on another man ' s shoulder - and winces . there just isn ' t a way to make them mean anything , apart from that he was lucky , and the others weren ' t .\nas a child , i sometimes watched the news , at least when passing the old television with the big antenna atop the house which picked up two stations - - the nbc and cbs affiliates . almost every night , at least from the age i remembered anything i saw , we heard news stories from some strange place with jungles where a lot of americans engaged in war . the place , of course , was vietnam . tobias wolff provides a first - hand look at his experience as an officer both before and during his being stationed there . the majority deals with time spent in the my tho region . i enjoyed his sincere narrative which showed his development as an individual and as a soldier . he offers keen observations on both the vietnamese and american forces . i want to read more of wolff ' s work in the future .\nbut the chaos of war was not the first time that wolff was forced to deal with the challenge of uncertainty in his life . he did not do well in school and his home life was in shatters . he had a supportive mother but his father was a liar and a con man and was serving time in prison when wolff was in the process of deciding what to do with his life . after having dropped out of high school , wolff was working as a crew mate on a coast and geodetic survey ship . a night of too much partying caused him to miss his ship ' s departure . since he had disappointed his mother too many times in the past , he decided he had to do something to make her proud and prove his worth . those feelings and the fact that many writers he admired\u2014especially ernest hemingway\u2014had served in the military , led him to enlist .\nthis is one of those rare books ; a memoir written with unflinching honesty . in turns funny , brutal and melancholic , i found this an altogether different take on the vietnam experience . wolff ' s initial description of his entry into the military and subsequent deployment to vietnam was quite amusing to read however it is the misery of command that he endures that held my attention . he finds cruelty , misogyny and distrust everywhere he turns and struggles with his conscience as he attempts to come to terms with not having the courage to change things . a particularly nasty act in the bush forces him to stand his ground and halt the activity . just as he is coming to terms with this minor success , he is completely downcast when rather than thanks , the victim willingly returns to the perpetrators . this scene , to my eyes , was a microcosm of the whole book . very few little victories and even then , usually a price to pay . this is a short book but a riveting read and will particularly appeal to anyone interested in the realities of command during conflict .\nif you ' re looking for a civil war film with a capital\nc ,\nfeaturing the panoramic battle sequences of a nation divided , rent\ngettysburg\nor\nglory .\nthe film - - the first feature - length film by robby henson - - is set in the remote cumberland mountains of kentucky . here , loyalties vary from homestead to homestead and the war is fought by roving bands of marauders interested not in lofty ideals , but food and shelter .\nas the riders approach , sarah and her young son ( will lucas ) attempt to hide their meager belongings , particularly a musket , a milk cow , and a photograph of the absent husband and father dressed in confederate gray .\nthe yankee detail finds it all anyway , but before they can leave , the youngest soldier , newt ( huckleberry fox ) falls on a hay fork and is critically wounded . the detail decides to hole up at the farm until newt is well enough to be moved .\nthe close quarters of the farmhouse force sarah and the captain to interact as they care for the injured man . slowly they begin to speak not as enemies , but as people . the capain eventually reveals that the war has taken on of his family members as well - - his wife .\nthe conflict between the rebel - hating troopers and the relationship between sarah and the captain , played out on a backtgrop of hunger and desperation , illustrates the personal wars that were fought away from the battlefield .\nthe sullen beauty of the cumberland mountains - - brooding sky , barren trees and muddy farm yard - - provides a haunting backdrop for the personal conflicts . henson , a native kentuckian , shows an understanding not only of the civil war , but of the physical and emotional terrain upon which it was fought .\ncooper and clarkson give their characters the depth they deserve , the ensemble cast of union troopers lend authenticity to the mission , and a cameo by kris kristofferson gives this small film a little extra star power .\non march 22 it will be screened in three areas of north carolina ;

footage film . would that it were ! the amateur camera - wielding characters of films like the gallows and the possession of michael king have more of a sense of where to place their cameras than do the professional filmmakers who made the vatican tapes . those two examples , by the way , are in my opinion among the worst found - footage offerings in existence . the vatican tapes is worse .\none thing the vatican tapes has going for it is its ending . the final five or ten minutes show such potential for a better sequel ( yes , i said it ) that it just reinforces how bland everything that came before it is . what would have made the vatican tapes better is if the first 80 minutes were relegated to a prologue , and then the last ten minutes expanded into a full - length feature . what we get instead is the vatican tapes in its present form , and if you can manage to keep yourself awake throughout the whole thing then you deserve a medal .\ni\u2019m a big fan of the found - footage genre when there\u2019s anything remotely interesting happening at all on a metatextual level . the only moment where the vatican tapes has anything resembling genre commentary takes place toward the end of the film , just before the inevitable exorcism scene . fresh off a plane from vatican city , helping out with the exorcism mostly so he can make another video to add to the vatican\u2019s collection of tapes , cardinal bruun ( peter andersson ) secures a camera to one of the wooden posts in angela\u2019s bedroom .\nperfect storm \u2026 clouds over st peter\u2019s basilica in the vatican . photograph : afp / getty images\nthe weekend\u2019s biggest specialty debut was pantelion / lionsgate\u2019s thriller , the vatican tapes , starring djimon hounsou and michael pe\u00f1a . the feature grossed $ 850k in 427 theaters , giving it a somewhat slow $ 1 , 991 screen average .\nthe vatican tapes has exactly one good shot in it , and no , it\u2019s not the header image above of star olivia dudley blowing the entire costume budget on a pair of melted contacts . are you ready ? it\u2019s this one :\nfor 2 , 000 years the vatican has recorded evidence of evil . may god have mercy on their souls .\nthe world needs another exorcism movie like it needs another land war in asia , but i still had some hope for the vatican tapes . its director , mark neveldine , is one half of the team of neveldine / taylor , who gave us the amazing crank movies , and it wouldn\u2019t have been too foolish to hope that he might have infused this most tired of horror sub - genres with some gonzo flair . unfortunately , the vatican tapes is a tired , un - scary , incoherent mess .\non the surface , the vatican tapes looks like every other exorcism movie on the market . it has a girl who may or may not be possessed , catholic priests , and a bunch of jump - scare moments that sometimes play out into real horror . but in addition to these , the film also offers something that many of these other films do not : entertainment . granted , the vatican tapes does not bring anything new to the table , but it\u2019s still a fun film regardless and worthy of checking out .\na priest and two vatican exorcists must do battle with an ancient satanic force to save the soul of a young woman .\nthe story and how it plays out is what really got me with the vatican tapes . director mark neveldine keeps the audience guessing until the end , and when things really start happening , they take off with a bang . i like how the possession turns out , although i won\u2019t give away any spoilers .\nlionsgate sure does have an interesting relationship with christian audiences . they ' ve minted tons of money off tyler perry ' s movie , which appeal to the church -

evaluation of the last exorcism part ii someday . like the vatican tapes , it\u2019s currently sitting at 16 % on rottentomatoes . unlike the vatican tapes , it isn\u2019t exorcism - subgenre - endingly awful . it\u2019s not great or anything , but i think it\u2019s doing a lot more than critics \u2014 most of whom couldn\u2019t get past the fact that a movie with the last in its title had a sequel \u2014 gave it credit for . after all , it was written by damian chazelle , who recently earned raves for writing and directing the phenomenally tense whiplash ( 2014 ) .\nsound familiar ? it\u2019s not that the vatican tapes is actively bad . on the contrary , it\u2019s actually competently directed and has decently acted ( though some of the actors look bored ) . it\u2019s just so dull . there is nothing here that you haven\u2019t seen in plenty of other possession films many times before .\nthe vatican tapes is shot well and looks good onscreen . i was expecting this to be a found -

13 rating that it takes you out of the film . it just felt staged\nwright confides :\nwe actually sent a crew of people to the vatican . the vatican is a city state within the city of rome , but you can walk right in . if you walk into the vatican and happen to be hiding a camera under your coat , you can shoot some footage without anyone looking . you can get some interesting and unique shots for your movie .\nhe muses ,\nof course , i would never condone such behavior .\na little creepy , but not all that scary , the vatican tapes is a stereotypical demon possession film . when a young woman becomes possessed a priest gets permission to perform an exorcism , but it ' s soon revealed that they ' re not dealing with an ordinary demon . olivia dudley and michael pe\u00f1a lead the cast and give solid performances . and , the possession is fairly well - done , delivering all the standard fare ; body twisting , shaking objects , prayers in latin , etc . but the plot is paper thin with little character developed , and it gets batshit crazy at the end . for those who enjoy supernatural thrillers the vatican tapes will do , but there ' s nothing original or compelling about it .\nthe vatican tapes follows the ultimate battle between good and evil - god versus satan . angela holmes is ordinary 27 - year - old until she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close , causing serious injury and death . holmes is examined and possession is suspected , but when the vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon , the possession proves to be an ancient satanic force more powerful than ever imagined . it\u2019s all up to father lozano ( michael pe\u00f1a ) to wage war for more than just angela\u2019s soul , but for the world as we know it .\nthe vatican tapes follows the ultimate battle between good and evil -

( otherwise , what would be the point behind any of this ? ) but they\u2019re all smothered under neveldine\u2019s choppy direction . there are occasional visceral moments of violence and gore , but we miss the inventiveness of the films the director made with partner taylor : he\u2019s playing the story straight this time , so the frantic cutting and occasional extreme angles feel more like desperation than inspiration . maybe if he had gone completely off the rails with it , \u00e0 la the crank films \u2014 throwing the camera into weird spots and playing up the humor of the proceedings . but alas , amid the narrative and stylistic wreckage , the vatican tapes somehow also manages to take itself very seriously .\nthe next new release is the vatican tapes . it comes from lions gate entertainment and debuted on 427 screens . it is a found footage style exorcism horror film starring michael pena and djimon hounsou , and it is another one of lionsgate ' s semi - wide releases . lakeshore entertainment handled the $ 13 million budget , so i am presuming that lgf is only on the hook for distribution and advertising costs . as such , the fact that the film only made around $ 260k today and will likely fail to break $ 700k for the weekend is a little embarrassing but not too traumatic . it was all - but - buried , and i imagine lionsgate is spending its time with shaun the sheep early next month .\nin a highly secured vault deep within the walls of vatican city , the catholic church holds thousands of old films and video footage documenting exorcisms / supposed exorcisms and other unexplained religious phenomena they feel the world is not ready to see . this is the first tape - case 83 - g - stolen from these archives and exposed to the public by an anonymous source .\ninstead of an actual found - footage horror movie , what we have here is something different , but sort of related . the plot somewhat loosely revolves around cardinals at the vatican keeping a secret trove of tapes related to demonic possession , and when they catch wind of angela\u2019s case , they request to have all available security camera footage of her sent to them so they can review it . but that\u2019s not all we see ; the film is more than just an assemblage of this footage . we do watch some of the creepier moments through a security cam quad - view , but when it suits the movie to cut to a closeup not motivated by an in - world camera , it does so . however , unlike subgenre highlight chronicle or even the underrated into the storm , both of which had some intentionality behind how and when they broke from found - footage convention at key moments \u2014 actually commenting on the genre \u2014 the vatican tapes seems completely random in how , why , and when it edits in some in - world film clips . do we really need to jump between \u201cfound\u201d footage of angela facetiming her father , and a shot from the other side of the room where we can see her on her computer , half hidden behind an indistinguishable , fuzzy object in the foreground ? it\u2019s jarring , confusing , and annoying instead of being the faintest bit intellectually engaging .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken like us on facebook : urltoken follow us on twitter : urltoken the vatican tapes official trailer # 1 ( 2015 ) -

green , the jaw had sagged , and there was a definite whiff of corruption . \u201d\nit\u2019s no ordinary case of demonic possession that rouses the attention of the catholic church in \u201cthe vatican tapes\u201d \u2014 more like the sort of full - on egg - vomiting , eyeball - gouging spiritual meltdown that suggests the antichrist herself now walks among us . and director mark neveldine , who is no master of dread but a dab hand at dispensing regular shocks , brings an undeniable lunatic conviction to this cheaply derivative religio - horror freakout , while running up the sort of abnormally high body count you\u2019d expect from a \u201cdie hard\u201d sequel rather than an occult thriller . silly , screechy and eminently watchable , this thrifty horror exorcise ( er , exercise ) could yield decent theatrical profit for pantelion films , and might turn even more heads in vod play .\nlet me summarize the plot : a young woman is possessed by the devil . the end .\nso by the time\nthe vatican tapes\ngets good and freaky , it ' s way too little , and too late . where was this unholy amount of energy for the rest of the film ' s ( admittedly brisk ) 91 - minute runtime ? why couldn ' t poor supporting actors , like scott or pe\u00f1a get a decent role ? pe\u00f1a , who just knocked it out of the park as the comic relief in\nant - man ,\nis especially short - changed . his character seems to exist to re - assure roger that\nyour faith will see you through\nand then worry while cardinal bruun tries to do what he thinks must be done . . . much like jason miller did while max von sydow went to work in\nthe exorcist .\nfor all that , \u201cthe vatican tapes\u201d never becomes anything more than straight - up catholic exploitation , pure and unapologetic . neveldine\u2019s first solo helming effort may show a bit more restraint and sobriety than his cult - beloved collaborations with brian taylor ( the \u201ccrank\u201d pics , \u201cgamer , \u201d \u201cghost rider : spirit of vengeance\u201d ) , all of them veritable master classes in frenetic overkill , but the director nonetheless knows how to apply the cattle prod : with its slamming edits and its banshee howl of a soundtrack , the movie is less interested in leaving viewers deeply unsettled than in maintaining a state of high anxiety throughout . d . p . gerardo madrazo\u2019s sharp red - camera lensing finds the right shade of ugly urgency for the grim proceedings , and neveldine has fun prowling dimly lit hospital corridors in his signature tracking shots ( captured , as usual , by the director himself on rollerblades ) .\nthey represent the holy trinity ,\nthe cardinal says , before helpfully adding , presumably for the benefit of non - christian audience members ,\nthe father , the son and the holy ghost .\nthe screenplay for this film was featured in the 2009 blacklist , a list of the\nmost liked\nunmade scripts of the year .\nfollows the haunting tale of 27 year - old angela holmes , who accidentally cuts her finger and ends up in the emergency room . infection leads to erratic behavior , and she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close , causing serious injury and death . priests examine holmes and believe she is possessed , but when the vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon , the possession proves to be an ancient satanic force more powerful than they imagined .\nspeaking of the last exorcism , i couldn\u2019t stop thinking about its sequel after the vatican tapes ended , the sorta - clunkily - titled the last exorcism part ii . that movie isn\u2019t a found - footage movie either , eschewing the convention of its first film \u2014 that a priest was having a documentary made about his final exorcism . but even so , the sequel finds something interesting to do with the concept of found - footage . nell sweetzer , the now - cured \u2014 or is she \u2014 girl from the first film , winds up at a halfway house since , oops , she killed everyone last time so she has no more family members , so sad ! once there , she finds herself ostracized from the other residents , who tease her mercilessly \u2014 because the footage shot in the first movie was actually found , in - world , and tossed on youtube . so essentially , the characters in the last exorcism part ii have also seen the last exorcism , just like we have . it\u2019s an interesting move for the series , and it\u2019s ultimately a lot of fun to watch a reformed horror movie villain battle other people\u2019s perception of her , even as she\u2019s also battling the return of her demon .\nwell , there you have it folks\u2026 the director of the film , openly admitting he barely put any effort into the movie aside from making his own version of the exorcist and the last exorcism . don\u2019t bother watching the result . save yourself the 90 minutes , because literally every plot development and \u201ctwist\u201d is in the trailer . including the final shot , by the way , which is the final shot of the film .\nin conclave the hero is cardinal lomeli , dean of the college of cardinals and the man responsible for presiding over the conclave . among the papabile there is tedesco the traditionalist , tremblay the ambitious north american and adeyemi the african with strong views on the role of women and gay marriage . vaticanologists will doubtless be able to tell how far these various individuals resemble real - life cardinals \u2013 though even the most casual vatican watcher should be able to identify the shady outlines of at least half a dozen well - known figures . into this gathering there arrives a cardinal no one has heard of \u2013 vincent ben\u00edtez , a cardinal in pectore , created by the pope in secret in order to protect his identity . the stage is thus set for a showdown .\n, which is one of the biggest hits of all time . the second biggest release according to urltoken is the\nattempted to make its mark by zoning in on the aspect of the son of satan , playing more on the invincibility of the demon , and the inevitability of his victory . however ,\nin the new york and l . a . areas and will take the title to the top 25 markets around\na woman seems to be at the centre of a series of unexplainable events , resulting in death and destruction for anyone around her . the vatican concludes she is possessed by a demon , and a priest is assigned to exorcise her -

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

fulfilment fantasy for those who choose not to have children ( why shouldn\u2019t this happen to any parent ? ) . in the novel , eva refers to both alien and rosemary\u2019s baby , but these cinematic precursors are about the horrors of pregnancy ; in we need to talk about kevin , the real horror only ensues after a child\u2019s birth .\nit is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dad frank . he passed away peacefully this morning , details urltoken urltoken\nbut we need to have a heart -

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

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

and how does the inclusion of cinematic works complicate this picture ?\n\u201cphotography and video filming are not normally allowed at tate\u201d ( \u2192 ) . however , filming there is welcomed on a commercial basis , with location fees starting at \u00a3200 an hour ( \u2192 ) . policy at the centre pompidou is more confusing : \u201cyou may film or photograph works from permanent collections ( which you will find on levels 4 and 5 and in the atelier brancusi ) for your own personal use . you may not , however , photograph or film works that have a red dot , and you may not use a flash or stand . \u201d ( \u2192 ) .\nare considered to be a great american triumph . two of his plays , \u201cfences\u201d and \u201cthe piano lesson\u201d , have won pulitzer prizes . the august wilson house is also listed on the national register of historic places .\ntom gunning , d . w . griffith and the origins of american narrative film : the early years at biograph ( urbana , il : univerisity of illinois press , 1994 ) .\ndavid harvey , ' time - space compression and the rise of modernism as a cultural force ' and ' time - space compression and the postmodern condition ' , in the condition of postmodernity : an enquiry into the origins of cultural change ( oxford : blackwell , 1990 ) , pp . 260 - 307 .\nthe current discussion of cinema and the museum as public sphere is an animated one . thomas elsaesser , for example , asks whether cinema in the museum might constitute the last remaining bourgeois public sphere .\nconditions of production : la hora de los hornos was made clandestinely in bits and pieces over a period of two years ( 1966 - 67 ) and owes much to the collaboration of subversive groups in various parts of the country . solanas and getino not only had to contend with the threat of political censorship and retribution - the film has not yet been allowed public exhibition in argentina and private attempts are dangerous - they also had to deal with the high production costs of using film as the medium of their essay in the situation of a capitalist economy . they worked as cheaply as possible , using the most crude 16mm bolex available , without sinc - sound or motorized drive ( making their longest possible takes about 30 seconds ) . and to raise the money they worked in the daytime making commercials ( many of which are exploited contemptuously in the film ) , an appropriate - and inescapable - contradiction .\n' agogics ' is a musical term that designates the use of agogic accents , that is accents consisting in a lengthening of the time - value of the note . the philosopher \u00e9tienne souriau extended the use of the term to include all the arts existing in time . he defined ' agogics ' as \\ what characterizes an artwork that takes place in time , through movement , and specifically through the creation of a fast or slow pace , or the use of different rhythms . ' for musicians , the notion is related to gesture , to physical movements , to a bodily interaction with their instrument , to a sense of speed , an energy , a precise handling of a piece .

24 .\nthe formal organisation of la hora de los hornos is inextricably linked to these objectives . its total running time of four hours 15 minutes is structured into three parts , each with a different formal treatment , theme and even objective . the first section , \u2018neocolonialism and violence\u2019 , was conceived as an essay film , which discusses the neocolonial nature of argentine and latin american dependency through 13 chapters . the second part , \u2018act for liberation\u2019 , is divided in two , reflecting specific time periods : chronicle of peronism and chronicle of resistance . conceived as a film act and dedicated to the \u2018peronist proletarians\u2019 , these two chronicles respectively deal with an analysis of the ten years of peronism in power ( 1946\u201355 ) and a critical reconstruction of the ensuing struggles ( 1956\u201366 ) . the third part , \u2018violence and liberation\u2019 , dedicated to \u2018the new man who is being born out of this liberation war\u2019 , presents itself as a study on the meaning of violence .\ncinema , as jean - louis comolli notes , began as documentary and documentary as cinema . nevertheless , documentary remains a slippery , marginal filmic mode that pertains to the non - fictional world of knowledge and information while drawing on the resources of fiction , its roots identifiable in both scientific photographic inscription and modernist avant - garde filmmaking . from the vantage of point of contemporary documentary filmmaking \u2013 seen as a continuation of a cinematic renaissance in the form reaching back to the 1990s \u2013 this session will explore the ways in which documentary film\u2019s complex relation to reality may be understood , addressing in particular how today\u2019s \u201cgolden age\u201d of documentary may be thought in relation to the genealogy of the mode and its theorizations .\ntoday , cinematic politics are post - representational . they do not educate the crowd , but produce it . they articulate the crowd in space and in time . they submerge it in partial invisibility and then orchestrate their dispersion , movement , and reconfiguration . they organize the crowd without preaching to it . they replace the gaze of the bourgeois sovereign spectator of the white cube with the incomplete , obscured , fractured , and overwhelmed vision of the spectator - as - laborer .\nmariano mestman is a lecturer at the university of buenos aires . this piece is translated from the spanish by libertad borda and is an edited version of an essay from 24 frames : the cinema of latin america , edited by alberto elena and marina d\u00edaz l\u00f3pez and published by wallflower press .\ndrazin , c . in search of the third man ( london : methuen , 1999 ) .\na brilliant installation by harun farocki makes clear where the workers leaving the factory are headed . farocki collected and installed different cinematic versions of\nrivers of steel arts would like to thank the pittsburgh foundation as well as the following sponsors for helping to make this event possible .\nhe connects images to illuminate social contradictions not apparent when they are perceived in isolation . one particularly moving sequence links the upturned face of a hungry child in the back country with the exploitative neo - colonial system by intercepting it with a dazzling skyscraper in bucnos aires , the port city where foreigners siphon off the country ' s natural wealth . instead of pretending a special or temporal literalness ( like hollywood montage ) , this connection is based on a mediation of concrete images with the assessment of argentine social structure as a class structure . the ambiguous apparent nature of the images by a construct of contradiction is transformed into their essential nature based in material conditions .\nby considering a range of critical attempts to define or describe the documentary alongside the work of two contemporary filmmakers , gianfranco rosi and nicholas philibert , we will consider how cinematic documentary continues to make its historical \u201ctruth claim\u201d while employing experimental techniques that complicate the kinds of knowledge promised by the mode . in doing so , this session will attend to issues central to the study of documentary and to that of film more broadly \u2013 realism and formalism , indexicality and the digital , spectatorship and subjectivity , narrative and temporality \u2013 as well as reflecting on how the increasingly hybrid forms of contemporary documentary both reprise and reinvent earlier cinematic traditions .\nin any case , this revision was there to be discussed by the audience . in this sense , the most interesting aspect was the fact that the film\u2019s very structure incorporated an explicit call for the spectator to continue it through a collective discussion and a transforming praxis . thus , after chronicle of peronism was over , a legend announced : \u2018space open for dialogue\u2019 . that was the point when a member of the militant group hosting the exhibition had to coordinate the act , as a unique communication moment among the viewers , a tool to make the spectator ( in traditional filmic terms ) into a protagonist of the exhibition and actor ( militant ) in the political process .\nit might even be the same factory . because the former lumi\u00e8re factory , whose gates are portrayed in the original\nthe closing sequence , with a sacrificed che lying in state , is set up as the example of that invention , the new man theorised by che himself . the narrative function of this extended closing shot is to establish a visceral and tacit approval of violence against the system as the only viable act of liberation . it will be up to part 2 to develop the necessary historical and theoretical justification for this conclusion , and to part 3 to give more examples ( besides che\u2019s ) on how to proceed .\ni find difficult ( and de pressing ) solanas ' s conclu sions in favor of perenism , which he describes as the first popular expression of argentina ' s national con sciousness , and suspect that , in the style of other con temporary revolutionaries , he may well feel that the past can be rewritten , through re\u2010evaluation , according to the needs of the present . solanas ' s conclusions thus escape me ; his arguments do not .\namongst the many definitions of art , national identity is not a category used very often . and yet , when it comes to cinema , the tendency to define films by their national origin is a default position . why is that ? what makes cinematic art more readily identified by its \u201cnationality\u201d ? one of the most immediate answers to this question is the narrative nature of film as an art form that is closely connected to specific places and times that have specific identities . this session will address some of the connections between films and the societies and cultures they depict . by focusing on the small and manifestly ideological cinema of israel the session will examine some of the elements that make up so - called national cinemas .\nin \u2018ideological war\u2019 , the voice - over heard above background music stresses how \u2018ideological war in latin america is mostly waged in men\u2019s minds\u2019 , while a hand - held camera shows crowded downtown pedestrian streets by night . a long and remarkable montage of images and sounds opens up a wide range of issues to be denounced , unveiling mechanisms of \u2018cultural penetration\u2019 . the last section presents \u2018the option\u2019 . a sequence about the burial of a man from the marginal classes in the north of argentina , an \u2018ordinary man\u2019 , is followed by images of che guevara \u2019s corpse : his lifeless body laid out on a concrete table , followed by a static shot of his face , which lingers on screen for the last five minutes of this section , accompanied only by percussion sounds . the image presents a christ - like che , whose example could function as an icon of liberation .\nthis seminar will examine the symbiosis between film and space , with a particular focus on the urban , taken as part of a broader problematic concerned with representations of space and spaces of representation ( to use the terms coined by lefebvre ) . we will look at theories of urban and global / geopolitical space , from david harvey and ed soja to fredric jameson , and consider some key moments in which the mutual constitution of cinema and city is manifest , with a major film from the silent era , a 1950s film noir parody set in mexico , and a key example of cyberpunk from the 1980s .\nharun farocki , workers leaving the factory in eleven decades , 2006 . video still . courtesy of the leonard & bina ellen art gallery .\nfrantz fanon , \u2018on violence\u2019 , in the wretched of the earth , trans . richard philcox . new york : grove press , 2004 .\na literary and artistic movement that flourished between the two world wars . defined by andr\u00e9 breton , surrealism endeavored to express the\nreal\nworkings of the human mind by liberating it from the influence of conventional value systems , whether aesthetic , moral , or logical . automatic expression of the mind by exploring dreams , the subconscious , and hypnotic trances , an artistic movement that displayed vivid dream worlds and fantastic unreal images\nbraddock sits just outside the city of pittsburgh in the mon valley . while mon valley towns like braddock have not seen the kind of renaissance that has occurred in places like east liberty , there is much potential for a resurgence . businesses like the brew gentleman and studebaker metals have chosen to locate their business along the main corridor , braddock avenue . there are many champions in the braddock neighborhood , from the local block watch members up to the mayor , who are working to bring investment to braddock while improving the lives of current residents .\nwhile legitimizing his position as one of the forminable asian auteurs that penetrated the european cinephile culture , the limited turnout of filipino audience in most of his screenings in the philippines proved contradictory . diaz\u2019s high cultural capital and idiosyncratic approach to filmmaking opened debates , critical appraisal and critiques in his home country . during the onset of his popularity , diaz\u2019s long duration was dismissed as anti - people and anti - audience for its demand for long endurance and extreme durative work from its audience . diaz\u2019s duration can be seen as a totalitarian conditioning of opticity . this and other problematiques would constitute the core problems of my thesis ."]}

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

rail truck on track # 2 at north western station ( now ogilvie transportation center ) in chicago . inclusion of this scene caused amtrak to withdraw from the film , pushing much of the filming to canada .\nthis was by no stretch a great film , but it ' s a very fun film on par with death hunt and many other bronson actioners . it ' s lacking a bit of the humor and dazzle of the similar but superior emperor of the north , but as an action western with a bit of mystery , a bit of gun play , a bit of bodies plummeting from high bridges and tons of train porn , it does not disappoint . the cast is surprisingly stacked and the cinematography is more handsome than it has to be , capturing the snowy west beautifully . the title is hogwash and just silly to say aloud , but for bronson fans , 70s action fans , western completists , definitely seek it out . it ' s on netflix .\nhowever , mr . gibbs did have a bad moment recently . because his house appears in film shots , the movie company repaneled part of the exterior free of charge . the other day the local assessor dropped by to watch the filmmaking and mr . gibbs was terrified he would see the improvement and raise the farm ' s taxes . the assessor , however , ignored it .\none thing at which film score collectors of a certain age will raise a wry smile is the little suspense motif that runs through some of the score - take a listen to\nmedical supplies\nand see if you can spot a certain controversial composer ' s signature four - note\ndanger motif\n- it ' s hard to avoid . well , i smiled , anyway .\nthe destruction of the bridge as depicted in the film is entirely fictional . in reality , two bridges were built - - a temporary wooden bridge and a permanent steel bridge a few months later . both bridges were used for two years until they were destroyed by allied warplanes in june 1945 . after the war , the steel bridge was rebuilt by japan and is still in use today .\nsynopsis : the 1966 academy award winner for best foreign film ,\nclosely watched trains\nis a charming look at the life of a young train conductor ( v\u00e1clav neck\u00e1r ) during the german occupation of czechoslovakia . he is ineptly led into an erotic encounter with a beautiful girl and fails to perform . but this unlikely hero takes a stand when his village is threatened by the occupying german army .\nsynopsis : criminals have hidden a bomb on a shinkansen train barreling through the japanese countryside . the bomb is set to explode if the train\u2019s speed drops below a certain level . with the end of the line somewhere ahead and a very large number of increasingly agitated passengers on board , somehow that bomb must be found and defused . this concept later served as the basis of the american action film speed .\nok , so i like these types of films from that period . they remind me of the time when i starting visiting the theaters on my own , during the film i even wondered if i had seen this one before . it might have happened . it could also be because i one summer read all of alistair maclean ' s novels , they ' re perfect holiday literature . and , some of them has\u2026\nsynopsis : the budapest subway system , the world\u2019s oldest , is a dark labyrinthine netherworld as vast and various as the city above . hordes of people pass through on their way to better , brighter places . but there are some who spend most of their lives underground - - the ticket inspectors or\ncontrollers\nwho are assigned in teams to various sections of the system and whose thankless job is to ensure that no passengers ride without paying . deployed by those in control - unseen authority figures who monitor the trains and travelers on massive grids and screens - these inspector teams are a much - despised lot .\nsynopsis : detective tom gordon ( tom mix ) investigates a series of train robberies in this fast - paced , stunt - driven film . mix poses as a masked outlaw in order to infiltrate the outlaw gang behind the robberies , only to discover that their leader is the secretary ( carl miller ) to the railroad president ( william walling ) . along the way , the hero falls in love with the president ' s daughter ( dorothy dwan ) .\nfilming locations : the train was primarily filmed on location in france , featuring authentic train derailments , wrecks , and air attacks staged in\nfull scale\nwithout models and with limited sets . period equipment was donated by french national railways ( sncf ) during their transition from steam to diesel , and full access was provided to seldom used routes and yards . as a result , the train is widely considered to have the most authentic railroad scenes in a feature film .\nthe film of alistair maclean ' s novel did not disappoint , combining an intriguing mystery with some well - staged action . the entertainment value was enhanced by both the solid cast and - especially - jerry goldsmith ' s score , at the heart of which is the rousing main theme that also appears later in different arrangements . the other tracks convey suspense , tension , danger and romance as needed to support what ' s happening on the screen at the time . a highly recommended soundtrack .\nthis fellow , played by mr . bronson , seems already to have passed through his own time into history . the great physique is no longer young , but it is more powerful than ever , as if transfused by age with some kind of supervigor that affects brain as well as brawn . needless to say , he is the film ' s hero\u2010figure , but how he assumes the role is the point of the screenplay ' s twists that owe more to agatha christie than to zane grey .\nsynopsis : a group of four men assault a train station clerk , then rob a train where they take the money and shoot a passenger . once the clerk is discovered tied up at the station , the sheriff and his men begin a hunt for the bandits . this 1903 film uses simple editing techniques ( each scene is a single shot ) and the story is mostly linear ( with only a few\nmeanwhile\nmoments ) but it represents a significant step in movie making , being one of the first\nnarrative\nmovies .\nsherman and a colleague arrive at a warehouse ( run by morgenstern but without his partner mugenthaler who only appears in the book ) where the drugs are being distributed . there he meets van gelder and his niece . he finds out that they are part of the trafficking gang and that trudi had been faking her mental disability . a shootout leaves trudi dead and sherman wounded . van gelder tries to escape , but is killed by sherman ( again a discrepancy in that he falls to his death in the film but is skewered on a hook in the book ) .\nthe recording here is a bit muddier than that for the mancini score and seems to have more source deterioration . it works less separately from the film , but oddly those familiar with the accompanying visuals will remember this music . while the re - edits may have destroyed mancini\u2019s opening music , it is striking how well kamen\u2019s contribution matched the segments for which it was provided . the music is somewhat connected by an ostinato pattern that shows up most in the later cues . looking back now , though , the sound of his music stands alongside other genre writing of the period .\nsynopsis : set in south yorkshire , the film opens with familiar british rail sign being replaced with a shiny new one reading\neast midland infrastructure .\nfor a group of men working at a local train station , this subtle change ends up meaning that their lives have irrevocably changed . when they learn the grim details of this privatization , their chummy sense of community begins to splinter and fall apart . under the new regime , the customer comes first . while on paper this sounds great , in reality this new arrangement is implemented haphazardly , resulting in bitter fighting and political backstabbing .\nsynopsis : set during india ' s battle for independence from britain , the film begins with victoria jones ( gardner ) returning to her native land after several years in england . her loyalties are put to the test by two men in her life : col . rodney savage ( granger ) , whose job it is to prevent sabotage on the railway at bhowani junction , and patrick taylor ( travers ) , another half - caste like victoria . when she is forced to kill in self - defense , victoria is given comfort by communist insurrectionist ghanshyam ( illing ) , further dividing her fidelities .\nsynopsis : top billing is bestowed upon claudette colbert as kit , a best - selling novelist heading westward to oversee the film version of her latest novel . taking it upon herself to select the man who should portray the hero of her novel , kit chooses war hero rusty ( john wayne ) , whom she meets during her train trip to hollywood . unaware of kit ' s true identity , rusty and his pal dink ( don defore ) rail against the factual errors in her book . one thing leads to another , and before long kit , rusty , and dink have all been thrown off the train for annoying the other passengers .\ni\u2019m not big on the lament \u201cyou couldn\u2019t get a picture like that made today , \u201d which i hear just about every time i watch a featurette or listen to a commentary track on a dvd or blu -

country cameraman left in warsaw when the germans arrived , bryan\u2019s footage is a unique , horrifying record of the dreadful brutality of war . one such scene shows german planes strafing polish women as they dug potatoes for their hungry families .\nshot on location in the west london area near the actual embassy , the film follows three perspectives \u2013 that of hostage negotiatior max vernon ( mark strong ) , bbc news reporter kate adie ( abbie cornish ) , and sas assault team leader rusty firmin ( bell ) .\nnotorious ( 1946 ) arguably alfred hitchcock\u2019s best black - and - white american film , this is an excellent example of woman\u2019s gothic . in the film , a woman ( played by ingrid bergman ) marries a nazi killer ( played by claude rains ) , although she is in love with an american spy ( played by cary grant ) who recruits her for the assignment . rife with classic hitchcock brilliance , featuring the crane shot and cross - cutting during the party sequence , \u201cnotorious\u201d is also a resonant cultural document of romantic alienation . cary grant is at his most attractive , letting his dark side fuel his bitter cynicism .\nthe last command ( 1928 ) this film is josef von sternberg\u2019s powerful drama of exiled russian general emil jannings , who is reduced to the scraps of \u201cextra\u201d roles in hollywood . jannings\u2019 academy award - winning performance towers over the screen , showcasing emotions ranging from his forceful leadership as a tsarist general , to incredulous dismay at the loss of his beloved country and his lover who helped him escape . shaken out of his stupor when cast in a film about the russian revolution , jannings summons his thunderous charisma in one final bid to somehow win the war for mother russia . the ending , considered one of cinema\u2019s most memorable , remains heart - wrenching .\napplause ( 1929 ) this early sound - era masterpiece was the first film of both stage / director rouben mamoulian and cabaret / star helen morgan . many have compared mamoulian\u2019s debut to that of orson welles\u2019 \u201ccitizen kane\u201d because of his flamboyant use of cinematic innovation to test technical boundaries . the tear - jerking plot boasts top performances from morgan as the fading burlesque queen , fuller mellish jr . as her slimy paramour and joan peters as her cultured daughter . however , the film is remembered today chiefly for mamoulian\u2019s audacious style . while most films of the era were static and stage - bound , mamoulian\u2019s camera reinvigorated the melodramatic plot by prowling relentlessly through sordid backstage life .\ndespite preservation efforts by various organizations , \u201cthis key component of american cultural history is an endangered species , \u201d billington said . he pointed out that more and more films are lost each year to nitrate deterioration , color fading and the recently discovered \u201cvinegar syndrome , \u201d which threatens the acetate - based \u201csafety film\u201d stock on which the vast majority of motion pictures have been reproduced .\nrocky ( 1976 ) this stirring tale of a million - to - one - shot underdog has become part of the american psyche . according to legend , sylvester stallone , then a down - on - his - luck actor , hurriedly wrote a brilliant script after watching the muhammad ali / chuck wepner fight . stallone shopped the script to studios , who loved the plot but not stallone\u2019s take - it - or - leave - it demand that he star in the film . eventually , stallone and united artists crafted a deal , and the film became a top - grossing cultural sensation in 1976 . one of the truly iconic moments in american cinema is when stallone runs up the steps of the philadelphia museum of art to the strains of bill conti\u2019s pulsating score .\ntess of the storm country ( 1914 ) this is the feature film that made canadian - born mary pickford , hollywood\u2019s first movie superstar , a national icon and an international celebrity . the film is often credited with launching what was known as the \u201ccult of mary pickford\u201d in the early 20th century and was essential in shaping the actress\u2019 on - screen persona as a working - class heroine . the picture was so successful that it spawned a number of knockoffs and several remakes , including one by pickford herself in 1922 . the movie\u2019s director , edwin s . porter , was a former cameraman of thomas edison who worked with pickford on five of her earliest features . he is best known for two innovative silent shorts from 1903 , \u201cthe life of an american fireman\u201d and \u201cthe great train robbery . \u201d\nwhat if they were black people ? what if they were italian ?\nthese words are spoken by an unseen character in\nthe siege ,\nbut they get at the heart of the film , which is about a roundup of arab - americans after terrorist bombs strike new york city . ok , what if they were black or italian ? what if the movie was a fantasy about the army running rampant over the civil liberties of american irish , poles , koreans ? wouldn ' t that be the same thing as rounding up the arab - americans ? not really , because the same feelings are not at stake . of all our ethnic groups , only arabs come from nations that are currently in a state of indefinitely suspended war with the united states . the vast majority of arab - americans are patriotic citizens who are happy to plunge into the melting pot with the rest of us ( a point the movie does make ) , but a minority have been much in the news , especially after the world trade center bombing in new york city .\nthe curse of quon gwon ( 1916 - 17 ) \u201cthe curse of quon gwon , \u201d long thought lost , is the earliest known chinese - american feature and one of the first films directed by a woman , and was recently restored by the academy film archive . the two surviving reels were brought to the attention of filmmaker arthur dong while researching his \u201chollywood chinese\u201d documentary . its timely rediscovery shows us that the history of ethnic filmmaking in the united states goes back much further than earlier thought .\nflesh and the devil ( 1927 ) one of the last silent film classics , \u201cflesh and the devil\u201d is the first on - screen pairing of silent superstars john gilbert and greta garbo . it is a masterpiece of american romanticism from director clarence brown , who directed garbo in seven classic films , and garbo\u2019s favorite cinematographer , william daniels . in \u201cflesh and the devil , \u201d garbo plays a seductress who sacrifices love for comfort and material luxury . the blistering chemistry between garbo and gilbert reflected their torrid , real - life affair at the time .\nmany americans do not draw those distinctions and could not check off on a list those arab countries we consider hostile , neutral or friendly . there is a tendency to lump together\ntowelheads\n( a term used in the movie ) . arab - americans feel vulnerable right now to the kinds of things that happen in this movie , and that ' s why it ' s not the same thing as targeting other ethnic groups . ( by way of illustration , it is unlikely , even unimaginable , after recent history , that a fantasy like\nthe siege\nwould be made about the internment of japanese or jewish americans . ) oh , the movie tries to temper its material .\nthey love this country as much as we do ,\none american says in the film , unaware of the irony in the\nthey\nand\nwe .\nthe hero , an african - american played by denzel washington , has an arab - american partner ( tony shalhoub ) who is angered when his own son is mistreated . the heroine , an american spy played by annette bening , grew up in lebanon and has an arab - american lover ( although it ' s a little more complicated than that ) . but the bottom line is that arab terrorists blow up new york buses , a packed broadway theater and fbi headquarters .\non the 7th of may 2009 , senior constables len snee , grant diver and bruce miller arrived at 41 chaucer rd in napier to serve a search warrant on jan molenaar for the growing of cannabis . this was just a routine warrant , something they had done countless times . what was meant to be an ordinary procedure turned into three of new zealand ' s darkest days and ended with one police officer dead , two officers critically injured and a member of the public fighting for his life . in some fifty hours jan molenaar made a permanent and devastating imprint upon the national psyche of new zealand as he changed the lives of individuals , families , a police community , and a city . the siege was one of the worst and unexpected cases of violence both napier and new zealand had witnessed and it was all the more shocking because of its ordinary suburban backdrop .\nwhat starts as a routine search warrant for a small cannabis production turns into new zealand ' s most horrific domestic event in recent years . when homeowner jan molenaar returns from a morning walk to police in his house , he reacts badly . brandishing a gun , he demands the three police leave immediately which they comply with haste . once the police reach the footpath , molenaar fires upon them , killing one and beginning a 53 - hour siege . molenaar ' s six years ' experience in the new zealand army reserve and his enormous arsenal help him defend his position as napier and nz authorities try to ensure the safety of the neighbours caught in the crossfire . the tele - movie has been commended for sticking close to the real story , and retelling the facts that were warped by the live media coverage . police officers involved and the widow of slain policeman lee snee contributed to background info for the script writers ensuring the story stays true to the actual event . special praise to the brilliant final minutes , a tribute to len snee .\nby the movie ' s end , the filmmakers can truthfully say they tried to balance out the villains . but most audiences won ' t give it that much thought . they ' ll leave the theater thinking of arabs ( who are handled as an anonymous group ) , not of dangers to the constitution - - which can be dismissed as the fevers of one man ( willis ) , who is handled like a traditional megalomaniac . (\nthis is the land of opportunity ,\nhe tells arab - americans .\nthe opportunity to turn yourself in .\n) most people will not be watching a political movie , but a popcorn movie . they may even be a little restless during the speechmaking toward the end . they ' ll be comfortable with the arab villains because that ' s what they ' ve been taught on the news . true , at the present moment most of america ' s enemies in the world are arab . but at one time or another , this country has been at war with the home nations of most of the major ethnic groups in america . and it was\nwe\nwho were at war - - all of us . japanese - americans who fought in u . s . uniform in world war ii ( or were in u . s . internment camps ) will not have to have the buried message of\nthe siege\nexplained to them .\nthis was a very strange film . strange , because it had so many of its facts right for 9 / 11 . right city , right jihadists , right plot . and the military ' s answer to the terrorist threats ? go in , plunder , pillage , torture , abuse and kill the bad guys . moral ? if we stoop to their level , we are no better than the enemy . the real irony is , denzel ' s character had the character to do the right thing . oddly , and presciently , bruce willis ' general was about to do all the wrong stuff , and with a little help from denzel , decided not to resort to all the things we really have resorted to . this movie is notable for several reasons , but the uppermost is showing us the future we shouldn ' t take , but took anyway . the irony is not lost . what is confounding here is how much of this originally semi - corny movie got right . washington , benning , shaloub , and willis , all deliver in a big fashion , with some pertinent warnings . the road not taken was the moral . how scary that in the long run , when presented by a much larger threat , we one - upped this movie ' s punch line in reality . how much stranger can you get than that ? this was a fairly realistic portrait of the underworld , the intrigue , the terrorism , and gave us a scary view of our future . hopefully , next time a movie like this one comes along , we might be better served by taking it more seriously .\n20th century -

screen process used in filming . however , wayne\u2019s starring role in the movie did not lead to stardom . he languished in low - budget pictures until john ford cast him in the 1939 classic \u201cstagecoach . \u201d\nblazing saddles ( 1974 ) this riotously funny , raunchy , no - holds - barred western spoof by mel brooks is universally considered one of the 25 funniest american films of all time . the movie features a civil - rights theme ( the man in the white hat turns out to be an african - american who has to defend a bigoted town ) , and its furiously paced gags and rapid - fire dialogue were scripted by brooks , andrew bergman , richard pryor , norman steinberg and alan unger . \u201cblazing saddles\u201d was the highest grossing western of all - time until 1990\u2019s \u201cdances with wolves . \u201d\ndaughter of shanghai ( 1937 ) b - films during the studio era often resonate decades later because they explore issues and themes not found in higher - budget pictures . robert florey , widely acclaimed as the best director working in major studio b - films during this period , crafted an intriguing , taut thriller . anna may wong overcame hollywood\u2019s practice at the time of casting white actors to play asian roles and became its first , and a leading , asian - american movie star in the 1920s through the late 1930s . \u201cdaughter of shanghai\u201d was more truly wong\u2019s personal vehicle than any of her other films . in the story she uncovers the smuggling of illegal aliens through san francisco\u2019s chinatown , cooperating with costar philip ahn as the first asian g -

giving ceremonies featuring ceremonial story / dances serving as a bridge between the human and unseen spiritual worlds . at the center of the dance was the drum , serving as the cadence of the universe . the fabric of the community is woven together through giving : \u201cour spirits live by giving , things we give will return in larger amounts , because the wilderness has enough for all . \u201d\nearly abstractions # 1 - 5 , 7 , 10 ( 1939 - 56 ) harry smith made his mark in many fields . he was a painter , archivist and compiler of the landmark \u201canthology of american music\u201d ( which helped stimulate a folk and blues revival ) . smith also was a groundbreaking avant - garde filmmaker whose revolutionary animation challenged traditional concepts of cinema . his films used batik , collage and optical printing to create a tumult of shapes and images that integrates chaos with control . consisting of seven films made over a 17 - year span , \u201cearly abstractions\u201d is a lovely , ever - moving collage of abstraction , color and imagery .\ngroundhog day ( 1993 ) \u201cgroundhog day\u201d is a clever comedy with a philosophical edge to boot . bill murray plays a smug , arrogant weatherman caught in a personal time - warp , who is continuously forced to relive the punxsutawney , penn . , annual groundhog day event . at first murray revels at being able to act dishonorably without consequences , but he soon grows weary of having to wake up every morning to sonny and cher\u2019s \u201ci got you babe\u201d and facing the same day again and again . the deft , innovative script creatively keeps rearranging and building on each day\u2019s events , while at the same time moving murray\u2019s character into self -

head of documentary at australian film television & radio school and chair of the australian international documentary conference . she holds a phd in cultural studies .\nbut the premise is all there is , as we move through the second act , and the promise of a second layer to the film in the form of ralph ' s daughter ( kestie morassi ) and her partner is never really fulfilled . still , morassi is again notably excellent , and deserves a catapult in her career . but then the acting is the film ' s strong suit . paul hogan is gimmick free , empathetic and accessibly credible , while michael caton delivers a wonderfully warm character with enough complexity and self contradiction to be three dimensional .\nthe soundtrack is fantastic with is combination of natural sounds and unsettling noises and eerie music by carlo giacco . the music is never overpowering , and is not used to signal dramatic action , but complements the narrative in an ominous way adding to the illusion and suspense of the film .\nbeautifully photographed ( but not in a schmalzy way ) by roger lanser , the film has everything - except another six months in script development . to his credit , dean murphy reins in the film ' s tendency to be flimsy caricature , but it ' s a close call and ralph ' s climactic speech can take at least half the credit for that . what the screenplay lacks is another level , a major subplot , or a damn good incident around which drama and tension can evolve , so that the basic premise is not stuck like a plucked chicken in the middle of the yard .\nthat all happened back in the late sixties , but the africville issue reverberates today . the former residents have gotten together to sue governments to get real reparations for their losses instead of the pittance they were paid at the time . many , in truth , would rather have their community back than any amount of money . in 2004 , a united nations report into what happened to the community even called on the canadian government to pay reparations to the former residents of africville for what had been done to them .\nthe afc ' s industry and cultural development program helps provide opportunities for potential audiences to access australian and international programs by funding many short film festivals . such festivals are a great place for emerging filmmakers to test their films on audiences and to engage with other filmmakers . winning an award at flickerfest or sony tropfest can be an indicator to other festival directors and sales agents that you are a filmmaker to look out for . whatever type of films you are making -

disciplinary and cross - cultural arts practices . her trademark is weaving visuals and music together creating dynamic multi - media performances . along with her numerous film credits , yantra has worked on a range of projects for the bbc in london , bangladesh , afghanistan and burma .\nit is no coincidence that presidential candidates have been making it a point to add the late - night comedy circuit to the campaign trail in recent years . in 2004 , when john kerry decided it was time to do his first national television interview , he did not choose cbs\u2019s 60 minutes , abc\u2019s nightline , or nbc nightly news . kerry picked comedy central\u2019s the daily show . when george w . bush was lagging in the polls , his appearance on the david letterman show gave him a measurable boost . candidates for the 2008 presidential election began their late - night bookings almost as soon as they launched their campaigns .\nthis time , proceedings get just a little too leisurely . every plot point is planted , announced , explained and rehashed ad nauseam . although there are some welcome twists in the gender identity department , such as that involving ralph\u2019s wide - eyed daughter , carla ( kestie morassi ) , the film never approaches the standard set in this realm by victor / victoria ( 1982 ) .\nin my opinion , australian comedies are particularly different to american or british comedies as satire is always a major component of the film . stereotypical australian characters \u2013 the bogan , the working class \u2018hero , \u2019 and the \u2018ocker\u2019 are just a few examples of characters in a typical australian comedy film . thunderstruck ( darren ashton , 2003 ) is a prime example of an australian comedy with each main character revealing a different stereotype \u2013 the bogan adcd fan , the loser ( almost always played by stephen curry ! ) the druggy etc . even the most minor characters , such as john doyle \u2013 the service station owner in thunderstruck make a satirical crack at an australian stereotype , in this case , the ocker ( suitably dressed in footy shorts and blue singlet . )\nthe plot of this is basically that of a 70s sitcom episode . . it feels that out of touch . there are some funny moments but i just felt iffy about the whole thing . it really gets too saccharine towards the end which australian films tend to do at times . i felt like the film just perpetuates stereotypes as well . also , i guessed the thing with the daughter straight away .\nlpv events are made possible by allied productions , inc . , citizens for nyc , green thumb / nyc dept . of parks , materials for the arts ; nyc dept . of cultural affairs , nyc dept . of sanitation & nyc board of education film & exhibition support from the new york state council on the arts , a state agency . additional support , in part , by public funds from the nyc department of cultural affairs\nerin james is urltoken ' s editor in chief and a performer on both stage and screen . credits include my fair lady , south pacific and the king and i ( opera australia ) , love never dies and cats ( really useful group ) , blood brothers ( enda markey presents ) , a place to call home ( foxtel / channel 7 ) and the feature film the little death ( written and directed by josh lawson ) .\npaul hogan has a charm that the camera loves and it ' s nice to see him doing something different from ' crocodile dundee ' . this is a film of typical australian humour , perhaps a bit predictable at times there are enough stand out laughs to make it very watchable . the boys journey to the ' big city ' is classic , with lots of odd and unique characters . who would think that tax evasion could be so entertaining ?\nstewart faichney \u2013 co - writer and actor ( sergent jack jenkins ) stewart has been in the film and television industry for over 30 years and has written , produced or starred in many projects including writing comedy sketches for ted hamilton\u2019s musical world , and producing the upstairs neighbour which has won several awards in usa . stewart has acted in films such as till human voices wake us and muggers , and has also appeared in television series including blue heelers , cop shop and homicide .\nvisual humour is also a major component of the film , which many comedic moments being derived from vince and ralph trying to act gay \u2013 they way they walk , dress and even dance ! the visual humour element often goes slightly over the top , with scenes such as members of the fire fighting squad unable to handle the hose and being thrown about , due to the strong pressure of the hose , or ralph\u2019s new home makeover , complete with gay men\u2019s magazines and rainbow flags on the walls .\nfox should probably start worrying about empire ' s ratings erosion . fox : shots fired ( 3 . 6 million / 0 . 9 rating ) lost a tenth , while empire ( 6 . 3 million / 2 . 2 rating ) lost two , hitting a new series low . watch empire season 3 episode 12 online abc : the goldbergs ( 5 . 6 million / 1 . 5 rating ) , modern family ( 6 . 2 million / 1 . 8 rating ) and black -

s son thinks he should pull it and in revenge gets someone to remove the retaining stick which prevents the wheel coming off the axle . krishna is pulling the cart when he discovers what has happened , and he holds the wheel on , till another stick is found , thus preventing a tragedy which would have resulted if the wheel had come off , as the cart would have toppled and could have crushed many women and children .\nkrishna is on his bullock cart , on his way home , when he sees the girl and her friend . he offers them a lift home , which they gladly accept . her friend is called mani , but she won ?

likely be more attractive to boys but i challenge you as a parent to rent it and watch it . it could easily be qualified to be a disney film ( obviously disney had nothing to do with it , just that it is a great wholesome movie ) .\nif your a fan of jim varney for portraying his role as ernest p . worrell , then you ' ll probably will remember this film back when i first seen on the disney channel back in the late 90s to early 2000s . for me this is probably one of the funniest family films ever since it ' s obscured and probably forgotten , the story is kinda okay in my opinion , the characters are probably fair along with the story and the fart jokes are not that great compared to the ones in blazing saddles ; caddyshack and the nutty professor remake with eddie murphy since they ' re quite hilarious in our opinion . overall this is a family film that many of us remember catching back on the disney channel and despite it being a direct to video movie since for those who are

up . the best is kennedy ' s , especially as we discover who his angel - visitor is . and the best performances come from d ' onofrio and lewis , though their story is not as compelling as it might have been .\non the whole it is a moderately recommendable effort , produced by american playhouse , meaning it will probably wind up on pbs one day soon .\nsigns of life\nis rated r for profanity , a sex scene and some violence .\npopular : trivia , history , america , television , tv , usa , geography , cities , . . . more\nfor a new theme park , creationists ( with a little help from a geneticist , some amish men , and generous tax breaks ) are building a replica of noah\u2019s ark\u2014exactly as god instructed .\nearly in the book of genesis , god becomes revolted by his own work . deviant and immoral , man was not what he\u2019d had in mind : \u201cand jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth , and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually . \u201d\nenraged by our collective failing of character , god readied the flood waters . he chose a righteous , blameless man and tasked him with repopulating the planet . his instructions were explicit :\nmake thee an ark of gopher wood ; rooms shalt thou make in the ark , and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch . and this is how thou shalt make it : the length of the ark three hundred cubits , the breadth of it fifty cubits , and the height of it thirty cubits . a light shalt thou make to the ark , and to a cubit shalt thou finish it upward ; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof ; with lower , second , and third stories shalt thou make it .\nit turns out that erecting a massive ark based on a few lines of ancient verse raises some practical quandaries . gopher wood , for example , is not a kind of wood recognized by modern arborists . likewise , a cubit , the unit of measurement employed by god in genesis , is not a standardized metric , although many people believe it refers to the length of a man\u2019s forearm , from his elbow to the tip of his middle finger . then there are the countless mysteries ( scatological , sociological ) about the interior , where noah , his seven family members , and his herd of animals ( \u201cof every living thing of all flesh , two of every sort\u201d ) are said to have spent a year and six days .\nzovath is a senior vice president and co - founder of answers in genesis , a group of biblical literalists who believe that the earth was created 6 , 000 years ago , over the course of six consecutive days . the ministry , which is spearheading ark encounter , has some experience with this sort of undertaking , albeit on a smaller scale : in 2007 , in petersburg , kentucky , it opened the creation museum , a 70 , 000 - square - foot complex consisting of a caf\u00e9 , several movie theaters , a planetarium , and 160 exhibits elucidating events recounted in the book of genesis .\nas an apologetics ministry , answers in genesis is devoted to defending the christian faith via a literal reading of the bible , without allowances for allegory . rather than publicly disavow science , though , the group has appropriated its methodology , hiring teams of creationism - friendly researchers to weigh in on ark - related puzzles . ( speaking of science , answers in genesis plans to use energy - efficient leed technologies for the park\u2019s heating , cooling , and lighting systems , so as \u201cto be good stewards of creation\u201d\u2014though zovath , for all his preoccupation with flooding , has said he doesn\u2019t believe in global warming . )\none team of advisers , led by georgia purdom , who has a doctorate in molecular genetics from ohio state university , is attempting to compile a definitive list of which animals would have been required to re - speciate the earth in noah\u2019s time . according to the answers in genesis web site , god allowed for the \u201cpotential for tremendous variety within the original created kinds . \u201d through \u201cgenetic mutations and other mechanisms , \u201d those original kinds generated the \u201cgreat diversity of living things we see today . \u201d although by some estimates nearly 8 million species of animals are thought to inhabit the planet right now , answers in genesis believes that noah would have needed just 2 , 000 to 4 , 000 \u201coriginal kinds\u201d for his ark\u2014which helps explain how everyone managed to fit . the original created kind later yielded all other kinds : the ur - dog begat wolves , dingoes , foxes , great danes , poodles , and so on . \u201cwe\u2019re trying to define\u2014and it\u2019s never been done before , we\u2019re breaking new ground\u2014how many dogs make up a dog - kind , and what does that dog - kind look like ? , \u201d zovath said .\nmy questions about other specifics were met with a quick , relentless defense . how did eight people feed and clean up after several thousand wild animals ? conveyor belts . how did noah pack enough food for everyone ? he pelletized it . what kept all the animals from eating each other ? the hand of god .\n\u201cwe don\u2019t want anyone to think we\u2019re just making things up , \u201d said marsh , who is ark encounter\u2019s design director .\nanswers in genesis contemplated building a full - scale ark as a sister attraction to the creation museum as early as 2004 , but the idea became more plausible when a consulting firm estimated that an ark would receive 1 . 6 million visitors in its first year . zovath told me he was further heartened by a survey , conducted by 60 minutes and vanity fair in 2009 , concerning which \u201clost artifacts\u201d respondents might like to see : the ark swept it , claiming 43 percent of the vote ( atlantis was next , at 18 percent ) . \u201cpeople are fascinated with the ark\u2014with the whole account , \u201d zovath said .\nhoping for some added insight into the ark story\u2019s enduring appeal , i headed to the creation museum\u2019s sizable ark exhibit , one of its biggest draws . there , i watched an animatronic noah make hash marks on a curling piece of papyrus , then pause to answer a few preprogrammed inquiries , barking his responses like a seasoned catskills comedian . ( \u201cwhy did i build the ark ? well , i built the ark because , simply put , god told me to ! \u201d )\nthe rest of the exhibit , though , was surprisingly frank about the gruesomeness of the flood . in one diorama , the ark floats past a rock inhabited by screaming , about -

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

story of one character who rocked the world of literature , fashion , music and film . . . without ever existing . this is the unfathomable story of\njt leroy .\nthat\u2019s partly because the movie is dedicated to children orphaned by aids . ( in a 2010 annual report unicef puts the number of such south african orphans at an appalling 1 . 9 million . ) but the sense that this story doesn\u2019t end when the movie does , and that what unfolds on screen flows into the world beyond , is due to how the director oliver schmitz has approached this tricky material . mr . schmitz first attracted notice in 1987 with \u201cmapantsula , \u201d a gangster film that made the festival rounds . he went on to direct another gangster movie , a documentary and television projects , experience that seems to have served him well for \u201clife , above all , \u201d which is at the intersection of fact and fiction .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\nwow . . it ' s a quite old movie but it ' s very beautiful ^ ^ i love its romantic story and the cast was pretty good . the film is based on a superb book : eric knight - this above all . it ' s a greatly composed philosophic - romantic story . i think if you liked the movie , you should read this book ! it ' s one of my favorite books , i simply love it ^ ^ you will be much poorer in feelings , if you don ' t read this book . . . and thank you for the quotes . . . i think the book contains some more . . and more memorable ^ ^ by the way , does anyone know where i could find it in english ? i ' ve been searching for it on the internet , but i ' ve found it nowhere . . . : (\nfield notes c amera : arca swiss 8x10 f - line camera lens : 150mm aperture : f45 . 9 exposure : 1 minute film : professional fuji astia 100f\nroger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success\u2026\ni\u2019m reluctant to label t he discovery as science fiction , even though netflix\u2019s new drama has what sounds like a classic isaac asimov premise : a scientist has found irrefutable evidence that after death , the human spirit goes somewhere ; he\u2019s just not sure where . like good science fiction , the film raises a handful of questions that could span seasons of television \u2014 can science really prove something like this ? should it ? \u2014 but the 110 - minute film largely ignores those questions in favor of melodramatic twists . for a film about science finding answers to life\u2019s big questions , the discovery is surprisingly uninterested in how and why we learn the answers .\ni\u2019m left wondering what the discovery is . is it science fiction with no interest in science ? is it a spiritual romance with a perverse misunderstanding of faith and love ? or is it a movie that wanted to be all of the above , and in the end wound up being nothing ? perhaps what\u2019s most frustrating about the discovery is that its 110 minutes can be better spent with a story that is doing similar things , just with a sense of grace and skill the film is lacking .\nthis send - up of ragtime song and dance begins in 1915 san francisco when society boy roger grant decides to pursue popular rather than serious music .\nown all of the previous ' mission : impossible ' movies to watch at home for just $ 3 . 99 each with ticket purchase . buy tickets\nbased on the book by allan stratton , \u201clife , above all\u201d never falls apart , although it comes close with a finale that finds virtually the entire cast implausibly knocking on chandra\u2019s doorstep . then again , chandra looks realistically surprised by the sudden onslaught of attention , to the extent that she not only transcends the movie , but saves it .\ngerman - born director oliver schmitz takes on the subject of aids in south africa without kowtowing to western images of africa in this somewhat simplistic drama . twitter\nunfortunately , most of the good stuff is early on , when the details of this post - outbreak world are more mysterious than explained : how can kids born with this mutated fungus think , feel and appear normal , when the infected adults look typically decayed and robotic ? melanie really likes miss justineau , but a teacher visit to her cell is problematic when the hunger pangs start . ( zombies in this world are given the snack - ad - friendly sobriquet\nhungries .\n)\nhow will it play ? sony pictures classics picked up the film several months ago and clearly has strong expectations for it . reviews have been decidedly mixed , but it stands a good chance of doing solid business due to the heartwarming hook , which should help with word - of - mouth . it opens this friday in new york and l . a .\nthe reason to care about \u201clife , above all\u201d doesn\u2019t stem from its bleeding - heart plot , which constitutes a mild act of poorsploitation ( the same critique leveled at \u201cslumdog millionaire\u201d and other tales that use third - world backdrops for dramatic shorthand ) . the reason to care is newcomer khomotso manyaka , who nimbly shoulders a role that places her front and center in nearly every scene .\noliver schmitz ' s life , above all sets out as a character - driven film about one of the nearly one million children orphaned by aids in south africa but its schematic structure oversimplifies the drama , despite an interesting , mostly debut cast . it seems better suited for the small screen , which could work to give the film broader television sales . life starts with a quietly emotional blow : 12 - year - old chandra ( khomotso manyaka in a promising acting debut ) has to pick out a coffin for her infant sister . chandra lives with her mother ( lerato mvelase ) and younger half - siblings , the children of an alcoholic second husband who has abandoned them . the indomitable girl drops out of school since her mother is first too depressed then too sick to care for the family .\nand maybe all of that would be fine , if this were a film about faith . lost\u2019s finale was largely panned when it aired , but at least the episode committed to resolving the core\u2019s big debate . the man of science and the man of faith reunite in a space disconnected from time , and along with the other characters , take a step into the glow of the afterlife . a show about , in part , the need of scientists to answer the questions of time and space , ends on a note that embraces the beauty and serenity of the unknowable .\nalthough loaded with dramatic consequence , \u201c life , above all \u201d is slight . set in the outskirts of johannesburg , the movie follows a young girl faced with a broken family and communal rejection . her transition from pariah to fierce young adult energizes the story with emotional resonance , but director oliver schmitz pushes that effectiveness as far as it can go \u2014 and then keeps pushing , until it becomes shrill .\ngiven that a staggering one - third of all south african women in their 20s are hiv - positive , it seems right to cast life , above all as a maternal melodrama , or even as a parable , yet schmitz , who mainly works in television , brings an unnecessarily heavy hand to his inherently incendiary material . for every turn of the dramatic screw , he brings on thunder and torrential rains . the script groans beneath a mass of symbolic winking and declamatory exposition that has the unfortunate effect of turning the villagers into credulous simpletons , ready to blow with any wind that carries them .\nthe film , set in and around a gloomy mansion - turned - research - facility , builds to harbor , will , and the audience seeing for themselves what the afterlife actually is . obviously everybody , viewers included , wants to know the answer , but the film isn\u2019t prepared to deliver one in any satisfying fashion . the afterlife exists exclusively as a means to a narrative end , a tool to progress will\u2019s personal growth .\nas the film opens , chanda ( khomotso manyaka ) visits an undertaker to examine the inexpensive coffins on display . this is a task no 12 - year - old should ever have to endure . but her mother , lillian ( lerato mvelase ) , is immobilized by grief and illness and her father by drink . the next - door neighbor , mrs . tafa ( harriet manamela ) , helps her care for two younger siblings .\nnot included in the lineup this year were any movies from the united states of america or south korea , though countries like india , germany and france were represented . read the full new york times piece here .\nher life , she said in a ted talk this year , \u201cwas framed as an epic spiritual battle between good and evil . the good was my church , and its members and the evil was everyone else . \u201d\nset during a time when homosexuality was illegal in britain , this is a powerful and heartbreaking love story between two women of the 1940 ' s . their love is pushed to the boundaries and ultimately leads to tragedy .\nstolid soaper miscasts ty as an english deserter , he exerts zero effort to seem british , and saddles joan fontaine with a lot of flag waving speeches which stop the film dead in it ' s tracks . professionally made with a good supporting cast but uninvolving .\n\u201clife , above all , \u201d a grave and quietly moving story about a south african girl of extraordinary character , does something that few painful dramas accomplish : it tells a tale of resilience without platitudes about the triumph of the human spirit or without false promises about an unclouded future . the battle fought by its 12 - year - old heroine , who struggles to save her family and best friend from prejudiced neighbors who often look like a mob , may be over when the movie comes to its stirring close , but there\u2019s no end to the fight .\nwritten and directed by asia argento ( scarlet diva , xxx , land of the dead ) and shot by eric alan edwards ( kids , my own private idaho ) the heart is deceitful above all things boasts a stunning cast including marilyn manson , peter fonda academy award\u00ae nominee , michael pitt , ( hedwig and the angry inch , last days ) , jeremy renner ( north country ) , john robinson ( elephant , lords of dogtown ) , jimmy bennett ( poseidon , polar express , daddy day care ) , and cole and dylan sprouse as jeremiah .\nthe film plays this as if it\u2019s touching , like some unholy mishmash of t he t wilight zone and chicken soup for the soul . but it\u2019s neither as intellectually fascinating as the former or emotionally soothing as the latter . its afterlife , painted as an opportunity , is actually a sisyphean hell . it\u2019s also bizarre on the top , most obvious level . will\u2019s father made the discovery that led to millions of suicides , and we\u2019re supposed to believe will\u2019s biggest regret is not saving a woman with whom he shared a short ferry ride ?\nwell , i don\u2019t agree with that . if you have an interesting director , quite often his failures will be interesting . but i have friends that are auteurists and say : \u201cthis is an auteur . he cannot have bad films . \u201d that\u2019s ridiculous .\nrather than get bogged down in philosophical conversations , the discovery focuses on the domestic toll of its scientific progress . jason segel plays will , the estranged son of dr . harbor ( robert redford ) , the man who made the scientific breakthrough . when dr . harbor\u2019s findings were made public , a global epidemic of suicides followed . feeling an acute responsibility for the millions of deaths , will returns to his father in hopes of convincing him to recant his life\u2019s work . but dr . harbor , in pursuit of knowledge above all else , intends to go forward rather than backward .\nthe film ' s ending is improbably upbeat : magic realism , in a sense . it works as a deliverance . dennis foon ' s screenplay is based on the novel chanda ' s secrets by canadian writer allan stratton . it is a parable with biblical undertones , recalling cry , the beloved country .\nchanda does what she can to care for her siblings , attend school and keep up appearances . her own good heart is demonstrated by her friendship with a schoolmate named esther ( keaobaka makanyane ) , who is forced into prostitution to earn the funds for survival . it goes unspoken between them that this could lead to aids for esther herself . the south african tragedy was that former president thabo mbeki persisted in puzzling denial about the causes and treatment of aids , so many who suffered and died of aids need not have . this contributed to a climate of ignorance and mystery surrounding the disease , which only increased its spread .\nbut time and again , lost argued with itself , not merely about the mysteries of the universe , but the tools that guide us through it . can science prove the assumptions of faith ? can faith answer questions science cannot ? are science and faith truly so different in their existential goals ? this was network tv !\nwhen lillian exiles herself from the village , chanda sets off on a hero ' s journey to find her mother , helped and hindered by representational figures who sketch the plight of all such afflicted communities , yet barely qualify as characters . a female witch doctor brandishes spells and snakes . a drunken stepfather ( aubrey poolo ) proves of little use to anyone , least of all himself . chandra ' s loyal best friend , esther ( keaobaka makanyane ) , is drafted into child prostitution , while the village gossip mrs . tafa ( harriet manamela ) , a matriarch who is pivotal to the plot , fans the flames of hostility toward chanda ' s mother .\nschmitz uses the wide - screen frame smartly , often to isolate chanda from her adversaries , occasionally to create dynamic intimacy between chanda and those she loves and wants to save . the director and his splendid cast assure that this tale about a strong little girl fighting to keep her family alive and together has both high art and a big heart , audience appeal and gut impact .\nthe fog crept in and softly blanketed the mountain tops below me , \u201camazing ! \u201d went through my mind as i prepared to still this moment ; but the light meter had died . i was literally in the dark and there was no way for me to calculate the proper exposure ! \u201cyou have to be kidding me ! \u201d , was the thought that went through my mind .\nin large part , that ' s because a crucial player is strangely missing from this scenario . from the start , the spread of hiv - aids in south africa has been a political problem to its core . like many liberal whites who supported the black struggle to end apartheid , schmitz \u2014 who made the 1988 film mapantsula , about a petty thief who is radicalized in prison \u2014 seems unwilling to point the finger at a post - apartheid government that , under former president thabo mbeki , willfully discredited anti - retroviral drugs for years while advocating wacky dietary remedies and feeding tribal superstitions about the disease . mbeki ' s successor , jacob zuma , has promised better , but as someone who admitted at his own rape trial to having sex with an hiv - positive prostitute then showering to avoid infection , he ' s hardly a role model .\nsuspicion spreads in the neighborhood that the real cause of the family ' s problems is aids , although the word itself isn ' t said aloud until well into the film . its absence forms a fearful echo chamber \u2014 reflecting south africans ' own insistence , until recent years , of denying the reality of aids . a family linked to the disease by rumor or gossip is ostracized , which is why mrs . tafa fa\u00adcilitates lillian ' s\nvisit\nto distant relatives .\nas for harriet manamela as mrs . tafa , she has a central role . this township is far from the poorest in south africa . in the terms of that neighborhood , many households are middle class ; mrs . tafa embodies authority . she is fiercely proud of her son , a star athlete . she shares the general taboos about aids , but she is a good person , kind , with sympathy that she sometimes keeps concealed .\npersonally , i think the older i get the more i look for films that are honest about life . that doesn\u2019t mean that they have to be realist films . but i don\u2019t like to feel manipulated by the filmmaker . i like a film to be emotionally honest , to be truthful in the way that it depicts life and people . as i got older i liked genre films less . genre seems to be a limitation to me . the most interesting films are those that you can\u2019t put into a genre .\nand yet will\u2019s turn is worse . when will tests the machine , we discover that the entire movie has been set in his afterlife . in fact , will has lived countless versions of this afterlife , trying again and again to repair it . his goal has been to save isla , who in another lifetime was just a stranger he briefly met on a ferry , and went on to drown herself . will has lived life after life with just the faintest sense that he must save her . and presumably every human is doing something similar .\ni don\u2019t really search , but i always welcome the discovery . one of the pleasures of being on a jury is having to watch a lot of new films . it can be very interesting . i was on a jury in istanbul a few years ago and i was asked if i wanted to be on the jury of the official competition or on that of the turkish competition . instantly i decided for the turkish one . we gave the prize to a young woman and she went on and did three feature films . all good films .\nhbo\u2019s the leftover s , which premieres its third and final season this month , and which shares one of lost \u2019s creators in damon lindelof , tells the story of humans left on earth when a small percentage of the population seems to have been raptured . it begins as a stunning mediation on grief , and spirals into a weird , funny , cosmically bizarre exploration of the unknowable . lindelof seems to have learned from lost , as leftovers isn\u2019t so caught up in narrative contortions that it chokes itself to death , nor is it concerned with scientific justification .\nselect a category actor actor in a supporting role actress actress in a supporting role art direction ( black -

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

if i was to give notice of one week to someone i would give them one week ' s notice , not one week notice . in that one statement i have proved that the apostrophe is there because of the possessive . if you are giving more than one week of notice it is still a possesive and an apostrophe is still required . the rule about plural possessives comes into play and an apostrophe is required after the\ns\n; two weeks ' notice . end of argument . don ' t listen to anyone who says differently ; they have a twisted , illogical , and muddled mind . one more time for the record ; two weeks ' notice . thank you and good night .\nif you have decided to resign from your job , it is customary to provide your employer with two weeks notice . whatever your reason for leaving , two weeks gives an employer enough time to come up with plans to cover your absence . for example , an employer might need time to hire someone to fill the position , or they might need time to reassign your tasks to other employees .\ntwo weeks notice is basically saved by the really good actors in it , especially grant and bullock . there are some laughs here and there , but there ' s nothing remarkable about the film so this is standard rom - com entry .\ni have just been having a prolonged argument with people at work about whether it is correct to write\nthree weeks notice\nor\nthree weeks ' notice\n. my view is that , since a week cannot possess the notice and it is not an abbreviation with an absent letter , it is incorrect to use an apostrophe . the notice , is anything , is possessed by the person to whom it is given ( i . e . she gave him his notice ) . merge , purple dragon , i see that you agree with this . do you know of any printed source which would verify it ?\neverywhere one looks , there are signs of ignorance and indifference . what about that film two weeks notice ? guaranteed to give sticklers a very nasty turn , that was \u2013 its posters slung along the sides of buses in letters four feet tall , with no apostrophe in sight . i remember , at the start of the two weeks notice publicity campaign in the spring of 2003 , emerging cheerfully from victoria station ( was i whistling ? ) and stopping dead in my tracks with my fingers in my mouth . where was the apostrophe ? surely there should be an apostrophe on that bus ? if it were \u201cone month\u2019s notice\u201d there would be an apostrophe ( i reasoned ) ; yes , and if it were \u201cone week\u2019s notice\u201d there would be an apostrophe . therefore \u201ctwo weeks\u2019 notice\u201d requires an apostrophe ! buses that i should have caught ( the 73 ; two 38s ) sailed off up buckingham palace road while i communed thus at length with my inner stickler , unable to move or , indeed , regain any sense of perspective .\nor , to avoid any possible confusion in punctuation :\na sentence of two years in prison\nor\na two - year sentence of imprisonment .\nshe takes the job and is at his beck and call for over 18 months before she goes bananas and gives her two weeks notice . in that time , she must find a replacement and then she has to fight off her feelings of love for hugh .\nwhat an interesting read . . . one that took me away from my project for an hour ' s time . ; - d first , to stephanie , it would actually be a\nfive - minute warning\nfor reasons i will point out below . to end the debate , if there continues to be any , in the example ,\nin two weeks ' time , i will be resigning ,\nthe apostrophe is correct , if one could also say ,\nin the time of two weeks , i will be resigning .\n( ostensibly\nof\ndenotes possession of time and\ntime\nis ascribed to the 2 weeks , hence it acts as a plural possessive . ) if you are going to leave off the word\ntime ,\nthen the statement must revert to ,\nin two weeks i will be resigning .\nthe only other correct way to say this would be to say ,\na two - week notice\nin which case , as in\nfive - minute warning ,\nthe words ' two ' and ' week ' would be acting as an adjective modifying the word ' warning ' and would need to be hyphenated . such as in my 2 - year - old son , vs . my son is 2 years old . in the case of the original question about the title of the movie , using these criteria we have discussed here and throughout the thread ,\ntwo weeks ' notice\nwould be correct , or , if anyone in hollywood had given it any serious thought ,\ntwo - week notice .\nnow , i must go back to work as i do not want anyone giving me a two weeks ' notice of a two - week notice on this project . ; - d\nthe comedy stars sandra bullock and hugh grant , and marks the feature directorial debut of marc lawrence , who previously wrote bullock vehicles forces of nature and miss congeniality for her production company fortis films . two weeks notice scored a strong weekend average of $ 9 , 672 .\nit does seem a bit odd i know . we use the possessive apostrophe with phrases that refer to \u2018worth of time\u2019 \u2013 so two weeks\u2019 ( worth of ) notice , six months\u2019 ( worth of ) time , three days\u2019 ( worth of ) hike and so on .\nin a perfect world , you\u2019re going to politely give two weeks notice , suggest a reasonable amount of time during which you\u2019ll stay to wrap up projects , and perhaps train a replacement . and your soon - to - be - ex - employer will embrace this plan joyfully .\nyet , george is more interested in her decision - making regarding what are otherwise trivial matters in his life and eventually treats her like his personal assistant . she puts up with that for a rather long while , but eventually becomes fed up and announces her two weeks notice .\n[ . . . ] more movies out there missing their punctuation , namely two weeks notice . ( though according to this ridiculously in - depth debate , that might not necessarily be true . and here\u2019s where my brain starts to cave in and the [ . . . ]\ni\u2019ve got a question about the use of apostrophes in notice period provisions . i was rather surprised to see that section 8 . 96 of the mscd includes apostrophes after the number of days / weeks / months in your example provisions . shouldn\u2019t such provisions simply refer to \u201cdays\u201d , \u201cweeks\u201d or \u201cmonths\u201d without the apostrophe ? as i read it , including an apostrophe indicates a possessive ( i . e . , that day / week / month owns the notice period ) and i always thought the reference should simply be to the number of days / weeks / months ( i . e . , the \u201cs\u201d is there because the reference is typically to multiple days / weeks / months ) . do the days / weeks / months really own the notice period or am i thinking about this wrong ?\nwhere reference is made to lynne truss ' s book\neats shoots and leaves : the zero tolerance approach to punctuation .\nin which she cites the example of the film title\ntwo weeks notice\nas incorrectly punctuated because there should be an apostrophe after the\ns\n.\nsorry , i meant to say\ntwo years ' imprisonment\n. . . oops !\nthe arguments of two years ' imprisonment or one day ' s leave are not pertinent to this case because both refer to continuous time frames . rather ,\ntwo weeks notice\nis more like saying ,\ni will give you a five minute warning before your time is up\n- - it is an single , instantaneous event ( at least one would hope you don ' t have to notify your boss of resignation continually for two weeks ) . arguably , i suppose our colloquial language of\nfive minute warning\nshould actually be\nfive minutes warning\n. . .\nit\u2019s easy to get trunky once you\u2019ve put in your two weeks\u2019 notice at a job . but it\u2019s important to dig in and finish strong . not only is your company still paying you , but you want to leave on a high note . first impressions get a lot of emphasis , but psychologists have found that people remember best both the first part of an experience and the last part\u2013 which is to say your final two weeks will constitute much of what your former colleagues remember about you .\nas to why you use the possessive at all , i think it\u2019s because five days\u2019 notice is an alternative to notice of five days . that\u2019s analogous to david\u2019s hat being equivalent to the hat of david .\nit is not a possessive , although the rule for plural possessives is still applied here .\nnotice\nobviously does not belong to\ntwo weeks .\nthe correct term is a\ngenitive\nor more specifically to this case , it is a genitive of measure ( as achille marra indicated ) .\ntwo business rivals who despise each other in real life unwittingly fall in love over the internet .\ni ' m not a mother tongue speaker but i ' m pretty sure that the correct form is ' two weeks ' notice ' , genitive of measure . if , as i believe , in this case ' notice ' is countable a possible alternative is ' a two week notice ' like ' a three day ticket ' or ' a stone merchant ' but the form in the title of the film doesn ' t make sense because it would be a compound with the first part - grammatically an adjective - treated as a noun : consider the difference between a twenty - year - old boy and a twenty years old .\napostrophes are used in phrases such as two days ' time and 12 years ' jail , where the time period ( two days ) modifies a noun ( time ) , but not in three weeks old or nine months pregnant , where the time period ( three weeks ) modifies an adjective ( old ) . you can test this by trying the singular : one day ' s time , but one month pregnant .\nit\u2019s important to provide your employer with two weeks\u2019 notice if you can . this is a standard practice when resigning . it provides enough time for you to transition out of the office and to finish up any projects you can . it also gives your employer time to begin to hire ( and possibly train ) your replacement .\ntwo icons of romantic comedy team up for the first time , and the result is a fizzle .\nmerge was correct as , indeed , is the film title . it should read\ntwo weeks notice\n. the word ' weeks ' is a plural of the noun week , hence the terminal ' s ' . joachim : this is not the genitive case . it is not the notice of ( or belonging to ) the weeks in question ; thus no apostrophe is required . selkie : there is no necessity for the word ' of ' in this sentence . moreover , even if that was the case , an apostrophe , when used to indicate omission , signifies a missing letter ( or letters ) not a missing word . so , again , no apostrophe is required .\nanother thing just occurred to me in the case of the movie title . . . knowing how they think in hollywood , having lived in the world of movies for 25 years , this is likely rendered two week notice because they are simultaneously speaking of 2 things . . . and actually intend a pun . that is to say , that the 2 - week notice julia roberts gives hugh grant give his\n2 weeks to notice\nhe loves her , before she is out of his life for good . so . . . given the nature of titles to stand for multiple things , i think what hollywood and the writers were wanting to leave you with , ultimately was his 2 weeks to notice her and say something to her . . . . wonder if anyone else out there would agree .\nshe writes for those who winced at the posters advertising the film two weeks notice and who felt real pain when they saw in print the name of the pop group hear ' say . its absurd apostrophe ,\nhanging there in eternal meaninglessness\n, was , truss says ,\na significant milestone on the road to punctuation anarchy\n.\nhorror sequel ' final destination 2 ' debuted at number two on the chart , outperforming the original film .\nthree major new openers stormed the uk box office this week , led by warner bros ' romantic comedy two weeks notice . the strong combination of the three debutantes , a host of other new titles and continued strength of holdovers , such as catch me if you can , led the box office for the top 15 titles to a 10 % jump on last week .\nthere\u2019s a certain etiquette involved when , for whatever reason , you decide to quit your job . it ' s best to tell your boss in person , if possible , that you are resigning from your job , and then follow up with a formal resignation letter . it is also best to give your employer at least two weeks notice\u2019 when you are planning to leave .\nwithout wishing to blow my own trumpet , people say i ' m an authority on english grammar and punctuation ; i ' ve been teaching little else for 46 years ! i can confirm that the above posting is absolutely and unequivocally correct ; it ' s\ntwo weeks ' notice\n. just apply the plural - possessive rule that , surely , every schoolchild ' s been taught .\nstate the date . the most important thing you need to say in your letter is when you will be leaving the company . you can either state the specific date you will leave , or say that you are leaving two weeks from the current date .\nrather than being a matter of opinion , surely the ruling of the apostrophe in\ntwo weeks ' notice\nis officially documented somewhere ! i ' m keen to resolve this in my own mind . i ' ve always used an apostrophe in this case ( and argued the point many times ) and , if i ' m wrong , i ' d really like to know about it ! somebody , help !\nsandra bullock plays a liberal social lawyer who works for the little guy and tries to preserve older building from being torn down . she ends up taking a job for george so that she has more access to funds for charitable causes , but ends up pretty much just being his personal assistant . that eventually causes her to give her two weeks notice , although she obviously has feelings for him . she gets drunk and passes out in one scene .\ni presume\na sentence of two year ' s imprisonment\nfollows the same rule ? ? it is a frequent argument amongst lawyers .\nwhile a week is a reference to a collection of days it is itself singular in nature . so if the number is singular ( ie . one ) then so is the word week , but if it ' s more than one , then you need to use the plural ( weeks ) . here the word week could easily be substituted for a word like apple - one apple , two apples , fifty apples , two hundred apples .\nprime members enjoy free two - day shipping and exclusive access to music , movies , tv shows , original audio series , and kindle books .\nin the real world , it often doesn\u2019t play out quite so swimmingly . in particular , sometimes your boss will thank you for your work , ask you to kindly turn in your laptop , phone , and id badge , and then show you the door . before you resign , prepare ( mentally and logistically ) for the possibility that your two weeks -

in fact i don ' t even know if there is such a word as grammatician - but i found the alt - usage - english argument convincing . their example was\none day ' s leave\nwhich to me seems to be essentially the same grammatical issue as\ntwo weeks ' notice\n. actually it may be a better example because day is singular , so it becomes obvious that\none day leave\ndoesn ' t sound right .\nso logically , in the plural it should be ' two weeks ' notice ' , ' in five minutes ' time ' , ' three miles ' walk for here ' . and this is what the guardian and economist style guides ( in the uk ) stipulate . it is also what any dictionary will show you in the examples . it is also the majority use in books . however , so many people leave off the apostrophe these days that i wonder if it is not becoming acceptable in informal writing .\nbut to the business in hand , if it was one week , we ' d need an apostrophe to be grammatical - ' one week ' s notice ' , ' in a minute ' s time ' , ' a mile ' s walk from here ' - i . e . notice of one week , the time of a minute , a walk of a mile .\ntwo witch sisters , raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town , face closed -

liners that slipped in under the radar and nudged the audience in the ribs .\nthe film was originally set to film entirely in toronto due to cheaper production costs , but producer / star sandra bullock insisted that a film about new york city must be made in new york city . it ended up being shot entirely on location within a 17 - week span . it revitalized the economy of new york city after the terrorist attacks of 11 september 2001 and allowed businesses to flourish once again . in honor of the cast and crew ' s contribution to the city , december 11th , 2002 was named\ntwo weeks notice\nday by the mayor of new york city . see more \u00bb\nno , jappy , merge is only partially correct , because their solution fails to take into account the possessive . you must have the apostrophe after the word\nweeks\nfor the phrase to be properly rendered .\ntwo weeks notice is not a great romantic comedy . for many of us , romantic comedies are like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches , providing comfort food and simple consistency in a messy world ; we relax and enjoy the familiar experience , knowing that there will be no discomforting surprises or soul - searching involved . but in this movie , there are no real sparks between leads sandra bullock and hugh grant , some of the humor you can foresee ( and start wincing at ) long before it arrives , and , if you have seen the preview , you have a pretty good sense of where the movie is going .\nthe last three don ' t take apostrophes ; they are not possessives ( you can ' t say\nlate of two hours\n) . wars whose title is their length do not need apostrophes :\nstructurally , the film ' s off - kilter . the start of the relationship is rushed through , while the supposedly crucial notice period feels increasingly directionless . which leaves the comic strand - and that , by and large , delivers .\nmost , however , will appreciate you staying on for a couple of weeks to help with the transition . this can be beneficial to you as well , offering you the opportunity demonstrate your professionalism and to leave the job on a positive note .\ntwo weeks notice ( 2002 ) official trailer -

- after\ncrazy\nand after\nstupid .\nnormally we support commas in movie titles , but how did that comma after\nstupid\nslip in there ? if this is actually a list , why are two of the words adjectives while the last one is a noun , breaking the parallel structure of the list completely ? if\ncrazy , stupid\ndescribes\nlove ,\nwhy is there a comma between\nstupid\nand\nlove\n? ? this movie title is a punctuation disaster no matter which way you slice it .\nwith an opening of $ 4 . 3m ( \u00a32 . 6m ) from 414 sites -

year mission for my church , once a missionary approached the last few months of his service , he\u2019d often start to get \u201ctrunky\u201d \u2013 the term we used for figuratively having one\u2019s bags packed , and mentally starting to check out .\na deeply unscientific review of a sample of contracts filed on the sec\u2019s edgar system in the last few days showed that of those contract that included the usage x days\u2019 notice , about one third dispensed with the apostrophe . that being the case , i thought my response to this reader might be of broader interest . here it is :\nparents need to know that this movie has a brief scene of potty humor , in addition to references to casual relationships and infidelity . two of the characters participate in a non - explicit game of strip chess . a woman ' s head gets stuck on a man ' s pants in a suggestive way .\nkeep the conversation concise and positive . when going to speak with your boss , get to the point . you don\u2019t have to tiptoe around the issue and chit - chat for ten minutes first . you also don\u2019t have get into the specifics of your new gig . it\u2019s okay to just say , \u201cit\u2019s an offer i can\u2019t refuse , and i\u2019m giving my notice effective immediately . \u201d\nthis was before i found sandra bullock attractive . hugh grant is serviceably dapper . oddly enough , years after i saw it for the first time , i still remember the beginning and ending with lucy ordering enough chinese food to feed a small village to reveal it was only for one , then at the end , for two . aww .\nhow can you tell whether a word is possessive or plural ? a possessive acts like an adjective , whereas a plural is a noun ( nominal ) . that is , the possessive form of a noun will nearly always have another noun after it . thus , the following reasoning is used in punctuating the phrase\ntwo months ' vacation\n:\nlucy kelson ( bullock ) is an attorney who wants to save the world . george wade ( grant ) is a hapless billionaire who needs an assistant to help him with everything from choosing ties to choosing the proper mattress . together these two collide , banter , lock horns and make us once again ask the age old question - do opposites really attract ?\neven if you work in a small , casual office , solidify your intention to resign in writing . clarify your desired departure date , and then outline how you propose to use your final days or weeks . got a project to finish ? lay out how you\u2019ll do that here . offering to train a replacement ? spell it out . need to make a couple of final customer visits ? state your intentions in this letter .\nare you willing to stay longer if asked ? your boss may ask you to stay on a week or two longer for more help in wrapping things up . is this a possibility for you ? even if it is , is it something you\u2019re willing to do ? again , make sure you think through this question beforehand , so you don\u2019t get guilted into something in the moment .\nit\u2019s true that at a big corporation , once you put in your resignation , they may immediately and unceremoniously escort you out the door . it\u2019s also true that many companies , although they ask you to give them early notice of your resignation , would not afford you the same privilege when giving you the boot . this leads some to adopt the attitude of , \u201cf that ! i don\u2019t owe them anything ! i\u2019ll quit and walk away the same day . \u201d\nimpressed with lucy , he agrees not to destroy the center but on the condition that she works in his company as chief counsel . lucy accepts the deal but soon realizes that her boss is a selfish ungrateful irresponsible playboy . little did she know that she would have to aid her boss in daily chores that of choosing a tie to picking up stationery , and she literally becomes a personal assistant to george . george does not hesitate to call her up at odd hours of midnight for his minor needs and working like that for a year , lucy becomes indispensable for george . his need for her gets comically obsessive . but lucy is extremely distressed and a day arrives when she finally decides to give up the job . she gives a ' 2 weeks notice ' to george in a bid to quit office . but george asks her to find a replacement . lucy manages to find a replacement : a beautiful lawyer from harvard - june carter ( alicia witt ) .\nsandra bullock , who produced the film , knew just what she was doing , and how to do it . hugh grant knew just what he was getting into . some critics will claim they play their\nusual roles ,\nbut grant in particular finds a new note , a little more abrupt , a little more daffy , than usual . and they bring to the movie what it must have : two people who we want to see kissing each other , and amusing ways to frustrate us until , of course , they finally do .\nwhile truss says that\ndespair gave this book its impetus\n, she does not sound despairing either in print or in person . the title itself is a joke , about an irate panda who walks into a cafe , orders a sandwich , eats it , draws a gun and fires two shots into the air . the waiter finds the explanation for this erratic behaviour in a badly punctuated wildlife manual which the bear leaves behind :\npanda . large black - and - white bear - like mammal , native to china . eats , shoots and leaves .\ntell your boss before anyone else . no matter how much you trust your colleagues to keep a secret , don\u2019t let it slip to them by the watercooler that you\u2019re about to bounce . also be careful about announcing things on social media before you give notice \u2013 basically , don\u2019t do it . these things invariably have a way of getting back to the corner office , and no boss wants to hear about your departure through the grapevine . and you definitely don\u2019t want to hear him say , \u201ci know , \u201d when you finally tell him . once you decide to quit , inform your immediate supervisor first , your co - workers second .\nto be fair , many people who couldn\u2019t punctuate their way out of a paper bag are still interested in the way punctuation can alter the sense of a string of words . it is the basis of all \u201ci\u2019m sorry , i\u2019ll read that again\u201d jokes . instead of \u201cwhat would you with the king ? \u201d you can have someone say in marlowe\u2019s edward ii , \u201cwhat ? would you ? with the king ? \u201d the consequences of mispunctuation ( and re - punctuation ) have appealed to both great and little minds , and in the age of the fancy - that email a popular example is the comparison of two sentences :\npunctuation has been defined many ways . some grammarians use the analogy of stitching : punctuation as the basting that holds the fabric of language in shape . another writer tells us that punctuation marks are the traffic signals of language : they tell us to slow down , notice this , take a detour , and stop . i have even seen a rather fanciful reference to the full stop and comma as \u201cthe invisible servants in fairy tales \u2013 the ones who bring glasses of water and pillows , not storms of weather or love\u201d . but best of all , i think , is the simple advice given by the style book of a national newspaper : that punctuation is \u201ca courtesy designed to help readers to understand a story without stumbling\u201d .\ni am at a loss for words to adequately express how much it means to my husband and me to know that there is an organization like focus that is rooting for us . just today i was reading psalm 37 and thinking about how your ministry provides ways to ' dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture .

oriented , because he is fairly ineffectual as far as psycho killers go . colt is quite good at almost killing people , though . if you want someone nearly murdered , colt is definitely the person to call . still , what he lacks for in productivity , he makes up in effort . after more than five failed murders , not once does he give up . unfortunately for the viewer , watching colt fail again and again does not make for a very thrilling thriller . visiting hours can be a bit frustrating in this way , since the 90 + minute running time is quite obviously padded with colt ' s multiple attempted murders . perhaps this film would have worked better as a television episode than a full length movie .\nthe reading rooms encourage family literacy by providing a pleasant and comfortable setting for both child and incarcerated parent . each room is stocked with a wide variety of children\u2019s books and has an inmate narrator who reads to the visiting children twice a day . the role of the inmate narrator is to read picture books to the children in much the same manner that children\u2019s hour would be done at a public library . a variety of arts and craft supplies for the children are also available in most of the rooms . many of the supplies and books are donated by employees and service organizations .\nopportunities for visitation unless there are substantial reasons for withholding such privileges . inmates in rh for pre -

cls - 04 , extended restrictive housing ( erh ) .\na smart movie that also features a commentary on feminism and bigotry . it ' s dark and gritty , more along the lines of maniac than halloween . it ' s pretty sleazy , but it ' s still an entertaining roller coaster . i ' d love to see reactions to this in the theater . i have never jumped so much in a slasher film . the scares are about as effective as they get . they are delivered with such ferocity . typically , slashers feature a teen cast , but this is another aspect where visting hours tries to break the mold . the lead is middle aged deborah ( lee grant ) . somehow , it never works against it . i found this refreshing and interesting . michael ironside ' s portrayal of the killer is terrifying . even william shatner comes in as a thankless role . the scares are of an amazing frequency and effectiveness . for this reason alone , i ' d recommend the film ! for fans of thrillers , slashers , or anything scary .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

i am now convinced she can do no wrong . it was realistic , heartfelt , and heart - breaking . i was waiting for the continuation of marc and angelina ' s story in nobody ' s perfect , as i have read that she might do . however , that did not happen . i later read that she decided to do that in a different book since she felt that they would take away from the main story of damian and savanna . i cannot agree more . this book was an emotional roller coaster for me to get through , but boy was it worth it .\nthis way of approaching controversial situations has come to be known as \u201cwhataboutism . \u201d whataboutism is the name given by the economist\u2019s edward lucas to describe a propaganda technique birthed by the soviet union to deflect criticisms from the western world by asking \u201cwhat about \u2026 ? \u201d followed by an event in the western world . whataboutism is dangerous because it makes us so hyper -

( maybe i ' m a closet masochist ? : ) savannah ' s journey from abused child to survivor is a dark one . i found myself taking constant breaks to calm down . i can ' t remember reading anything effecting me in the same way . at the moment i ' m struggling to write this review , so i ' ll just say that reading savie and damian ' s journey was fantastic . anyone familiar with or interested in ' harder ' b\nthis author develops the characters well and the story line was good . if you are into bdsm then you will like this book . damien is a dom yet he wasn ' t as assertive as i would like in a male lead . yet the way he was fits well with savannah ' s fear of men so i could accept it . one aspect i didn ' t like was the way both damien and savannah gave their genital parts names . i just didn ' t think it fit well with this story with savannah having such aversions to sex one minute then next minute labelling her private parts - but maybe that ' s just me ? the length of the book was good and helped you get to know the characters well . however i did feel savannah ' s character went from not trusting men to trusting damien very quickly towards the end . having said that i will continue to love this series and will continue to read them . i love that you learn more about the characters from other books within each story as the series continues . the epilogue includes parts from the next story in the series , this one being luke and cassie ' s story ( which i cannot wait for ) . the taster you get really makes me want to read the next book .\nof course , it ' s only entertainment , except that you can ' t conceive of anyone ' s watching indecent proposal and feeling entertained . you stare at gage and think , how can anyone have so much money and so little fun ? how can a roomful of immigrants want to be like that ? as for demi moore , she goes from looking wistful , glazed , and poor to looking wistful , glazed , and rich - out of the fridge and into the deep freeze . the only character turned on by gage ' s offer is the murphys ' lawyer , jeremy ( oliver platt ) , who has one short , cynical scene that blows the movie apart .\nhow could you negotiate without me ?\nhe yells at david , sniffing a big commission . you suddenly realize that indecent proposal could ( and should ) have been a comedy ; it starts off with much the same plot as honeymoon in vegas and smothers it in mists and moodiness .\njoyce , 61 , has joined three other umpires in retiring from major league baseball before the 2017 season . he had been an umpire since 1987 . but his name became infamous in the state of michigan , on june 2 , 2010 , when he served as first - base umpire during galarraga ' s start against the cleveland indians .\nharriet keeps sending leonard\u2019s manuscripts back because he is a man . when he finally writes one based on his experience as a single parent and passes himself off as a woman by using the pseudonym of myrtle banbury , harriet is impressed by the writing and wants to meet myrtle to get her name on a contract and give her the money for winning the contest .\ndescription : gems tv is britain ' s fastest - growing business with a \u00a3100m annual turn - over , selling precious stones through two 24 - hour cable tv stations , broadcasting from a shed near birmingham . this self - shot observational documentary begins as they face a crisis in the supply of their top - selling gemstone , and a shortage of very special presenters to sell them . shot in redditch and the serenghetti .\ndescription : 90 minute special for bbc 2 arts to mark 200th anniversary of publication of austen ' s second novel . amanda vickery and alistair sooke forensically dissect the netherfield ball to reveal what the writer omits : the pivotal role of the ball in genteel regency life . central is huge candlelit reconstruction of the ball and supper . self - shot all preparation stages - dops colin and robin fox on alexa on ball night .\nkallypso masters is a usa today best - selling author with half - a - million copies of her books sold in paperbacks and e - books since august 2011 . all of her books feature alpha males , strong women , and happy endings because those are her favorite stories to read . after dabbling at writing since high school ( a very long time ago ! ) and hoping to become a romance writer about as long , she\u2019s living the dr\nin the style of similar plots used in movies such as \u201csome like it hot\u201d and \u201cmrs . doubtfire\u201d leonard is forced to become myrtle in order to collect the prize money . he carries on the pretense by dressing up as his own fictitious aunt and the plot thickens . leonard\u2019s teenage daughter dee dee ( played by kaytlynn mullinex ) and his father gus ( portrayed by john tasin ) go along with the deception as long as leonard promises them financial compensation to do so .\nkallypso masters tackles difficult subject matter head - on . rather than glossing over ptsd and abuse issues and making the characters have miraculous recoveries , kallypso shows the difficulties people who suffer from these problems have in dealing with everyday life . triggers can occur at anytime ( words , smells , music , situations ) and the journey to healing is long and complicated . the memories can never be erased but the survivor ' s\nperception\ncan be changed from negative to positive . damian and\nsteve is a college freshman who plays tennis for the school . but he falls desperately in love with shelly , also a tennis player . it ' s all downhill from there . steve can ' t eat , he can ' t sleep , his grades drop , and he gets kicked off the tennis team . what can he do ? well , his resourceful friend suggest turning steve into a woman in order to get him close to shelly who doesn ' t know he is alive .\n\u201ci worked with all of those umpires . they\u2019ve all been around for a long time . it\u2019s different with each catcher and each umpire , but my relationship with the vast majority of umpires is very good . i\u2019d joke with a lot of them , talk with a lot of them . i understood they had a job to do , and there was going to be mistakes . i was always going to try to be honest with them , and that goes both ways , whether the ump was giving good news or bad news . i wanted to be honest . \u201d\nthe worst scene in indecent proposal - and there are plenty of contenders - shows john gage going to school . diana has taken\na second job , teaching citizenship ,\nand just as she is telling a classroom of immigrant students about the united states , one of them looks outside and sees gage ' s rolls - royce . their interest is stirred , rising to outright adulation as the man himself strolls in and starts to woo their teacher . he ' s a messiah , smelling of fresh money , and the movie can only sit back and agree : no messing around - if you ' ve come looking for america , this is the man you need to be . in its flailing attempt to elevate the poor , a scene like this only slaps them down ; you watch it openmouthed at the loftiness of the insult . indecent proposal needs to be seen , if only to furnish proof that a whole movie , and not just individual performers , can be vain , and that real vanity doesn ' t just look in the mirror : it can turn around and damage others . there are many good films about the rich , but this one is dangerously cheap .\nafter patiently ( * snort ) awaiting the release of this book , when i finally bought it , i stayed up all night reading it . all i can say is wow . this is a bit different from the other books . it is a lot darker and so much more emotional . but what an incredible story . savi ' s struggle to deal with her incredibly traumatic childhood was almost difficult to read at times . i lost count of the times i cried during this book . she has such a difficult past , yet you are cheering for her and she comes out so st\nthis author develops the characters well and the story line was good . if you are into bdsm then you will like this book . damien is a dom yet he wasn ' t as assertive as i would like in a male lead . yet the way he was fits well with savannah ' s fear of men so i could accept it . one aspect i didn ' t like was the way both damien and savannah gave their genital parts names . i just didn ' t think it fit well with this story with savannah having such aversions to sex one minute then next minute labelling her\ntoo weird for me . she was abused / molested by her sadistic father who also used her to pay for his other business transactions . i didn ' t even finish it . she had child years ago with the only man she willingly slept with . and she escaped her father when she found out she was pregnant . now that the baby is now a little girl her father has found them again . so she runs to the man that got her pregnant and is also big into sadism . and the whole time he ' s trying to show and tell her he loves her she h\n4 . 5 stars this review was posted at under the covers i have been procrastinating in writing this review because i feel that i need to write something amazing to explain how i felt . but now i realized that is not what ' s going to happen , so i ' m just going to tell you how this book made me feel . and in my opinion , when a book can move you , make you connect , engage you to the point that it feels as if you know these characters and you care so much for their well being , not just for their happily ever\ntake the latest public relations faux pas , courtesy of united airlines . in the age of social media , it did not take long for videos to surface of dr . david dao being dragged down the aisle of a plane by united airlines security and the bloody aftermath . nor did it take long for united airlines\u2019 stock prices to tumble or for the boycott sirens to ring after united airlines president oscar munoz doubled down on the company\u2019s self - vindication . but even as most of the world criticized united airlines ' handling of the whole fiasco , a different narrative began to emerge in other enclaves of the media .\nit is a shame , then , that we have begun to view perfection more as a choice and less as a pipe dream . human error , polluted by agendas , politicking and biases , has slowly warped into a tool that perpetuates division . what\u2019s more disheartening is that , more often than not , the imperfections that we see in others or in ourselves are irrelevant in context . we are quick to judge but slow to empathize . with this line of thinking , shortcomings are not seen as human error \u2014 they are seen as inexcusable . worse is that they are used as false equivalencies in the hope of invalidating things that come to our attention .\nthe whole thing needs a leading man with snap and vim , instead of which it gets woody harrelson . admittedly , it ' s an awful part , which calls for little more than unfocussed emoting , but then woody trying to emote looks like anyone else trying to go to sleep . at one point , he has to give a lecture on the inspiring joys of architecture , rising to the contention that\neven a brick wants to be something .\nhe should know . harrelson has long been crucial to cheers , which both mocks and somehow dignifies the dumb hick in him ; this movie does the exact opposite , solemnly turning him into a total idiot , and could subtly dent your pleasure in the tv show from now on .\ntoo weird for me . she was abused / molested by her sadistic father who also used her to pay for his other business transactions . i didn ' t even finish it . she had child years ago with the only man she willingly slept with . and she escaped her father when she found out she was pregnant . now that the baby is now a little girl her father has found them again . so she runs to the man that got her pregnant and is also big into sadism . and the whole time he ' s trying to show and tell her he loves her she has flashbacks to her father . the whole time like he can ' t even touch her without her spazzing out . i don ' t know why know all of a sudden it is a problem . she had to have been comfortable enough for her to have gotten pregnant by him , right ? ! too weird for me .\ni would say this was my favorite book in the series . i was very intrigued on how this story would play out and i wasn ' t disappointed . i have only read a few stories in the bdsm world and usually have to take a break while reading them , but this one kept me moving forward . i felt for both characters especially savannah aka savi . i felt this story was very explicit in details on how she was treated from age 8 - 19 though you have to know to understand the way she is and how she reacts to certain situations . damian has his own demons to deal with , but knows he can help savi\nfeel\nagain . i was happy with the ending and i am actually looking forward to the next few books . marc was not my favorite , but the side story with him and angelina peaked my interest and luke ' s book is definitely peaking my interest .\ni will keep my review very brief . this read like an instructional manual . i wonder if the author had complaints on her lack of knowledge of the scene in previous novels . she is well informed now and she offers that knowledge to her readers . unfortunately this removes the storyline . the internal dialogue of sevi takes center stage to anything and everything else . the focus is on ptsd and coping with tragic events . my problem with this , while very informative , this isn ' t a non - fiction read . i have my own demons to contend with ; i wanted a mix of the knowledge , the therapy , and the connection . all i got was the knowledge and therapy . connection is the most important element for me . if this were the first in a different series i would give it 4 / 5 . since it is the 4th in a series and its feel is entirely different , i am giving it 3 / 5 . i haven ' t finished yet . it ' s taken me nearly a week to read . i can devour 2 book in a day . < - - - use that as a reference ."]}

manuel miranda , the creator of \u201chamilton . \u201d\n\u201csay you start your mixtape with one single video clip of bill gates getting a pie thrown in his face , but it needs some music in the background . so you start looking for a song that fits the clip . maybe you just type in \u201cpie\u201d in emule or limewire , or google for lyrics that contain the phrase \u201cin your face\u201d . maybe that song makes for an excellent link to the next clip . you\u2019ll be amazed with where your search can take you . \u201d\nthis new found ability for individuals to take control of their own distribution coupled with the availability of cheap and even free audio and video editing packages , gave mixtapes a new lease of life . but p2p wasn\u2019t just used for the distribution of completed projects , it was to became a prime source of raw material .\nmixtapes , in their original form , were also something much different . the form of mixtape we know and love today was more than likely started as a result of djs , such as new york\u2019s dj clue , breaking from the traditional norms of the mixtape industry , and creating compilation tapes of new artists looking to break into the scene . as the mixtape became bigger , djs became both gatekeepers and authorities for new music , and as the internet\u2019s rise spawned websites like datpiff , rappers now had a new outlet for their music that didn\u2019t necessarily have to involve a record deal .\nnetwork for hip - hop , an alternative to mainstream forms of radio and studio recordings . in the mixtape & apos ; s heyday , rappers could move raps and push their brand without having to make\n\u201ci think the industry realized the power of the mixtape , and they realized they had to play and be a part of it from a financial standpoint , \u201d drama says . \u201cnow you can barely tell the difference between what someone ' s mixtape is and what someone ' s album is . you still have to technically go to apple music and spend $ 9 . 99 , even if it ' s not their debut album . \u201d\nseems a little flat . it sounds like a classic mixtape , but mixtapes in 2013 don & apos ; t sound like they did in 1990 \u2014 they sound like albums . and often , they sound even better .\nthe internet age , for everything that it did to create the sensation of the freestyle mixtape , is also responsible for its demise . the concept of the freestyle mixtape is one that spawned out of necessity , whether that was a newcomer , a struggling artist stuck in the middle , or a great rapper looking to destroy his peers . however , that necessity all but dissipated with the proliferation of professional and label - sanctioned streaming platforms , the rise of social media , an overabundance of information , and therefore an overabundance of music . the anticipation of a freestyle mixtape from your favorite rapper didn\u2019t seem to matter as much when the competitive stakes weren\u2019t as high .\n\u201cthese things were called mixtapes , and were a great source for discovering music . getting new and unknown songs from all kinds of obscure sources was only part of the fun \u2014 making your own mixtape was even better . \u201d\nthis talk relates the creation of frkn wknd , a video game mixtape that ' s made up of a collection of autobiographical vignette games . without an explicit narrative , a variety of games and their relative order are used to convey a story . this approach relies upon the principles of montage . for example , the first chapter features slices of life that go from coding to testing a game to checking social media and getting harassed , to finally meditating to come back down . each of these games / levels on their own is a specific kind of experience , but in this order , you begin to see the perspective of the phone ' s owner as the player performs as them . overall , alejandro thinks using the game mixtape approach and mobile phone interface allows for some really creative possibilities for level design and flow .\nthe video features contemporary scenes of immigrants working in sweatshops , as farm laborers and other physically challenging jobs , as well as scenes of federal immigration raids and . the song , which features the refrain \u201cimmigrants \u2014 we get the job done , \u201d was inspired by a line from the song \u201cyorktown\u201d in the musical that remains a blockbuster two years after its opening on broadway .\nfor others , such as chamillionaire and his mixtape messiah series , freestyles were an outlet to maintain relevancy that had begun to dwindle after a hot start . in cham\u2019s case , mixtape messiah was an opportunity to stay connected , and without it , his career would have likely died out several years earlier than it finally did in 2009 . with freestyles over everything from \u201ci get money\u201d by 50 cent to \u201ckick , push\u201d by lupe fiasco , chamillionaire\u2019s freestyle mixtapes not only helped him stay relevant by having him try to out - rap the song\u2019s original artists , but by also letting him attach his name to the notoriety of theirs . the freestyle mixtape , for many artists , was communalistic .\nthe encyclopedia of the video mixtape genre , containing almost every notable clip that exists . complete recaps of individual entries can be found at the 5 minutes to live website and most of the clips come from videos they sell 9 . the series has very few instances of extreme footage and is very well edited though most entries lack a theme . footage includes : crispin glover weirdness , tardspasm clips , steve vai\u2019s biggest fan in near entirety , mr . t\u2019s be somebody or be somebody\u2019s fool , bollywood clips , sex -

written material , as each emcee tries to outmatch the other . despite the lack of true improvisation , the competitive aspect is there , and the end result is just as magical . even if the rappers\u2019 bars weren\u2019t completely new to them in the moment , they were to anyone watching .\nbetween then and thursday night , when the chicago artist\u2019s follow -

o - tron was the first mixtape to be widely marketed and distributed primarily on the internet via free downloads . others may have come before , but retard - o - tron quickly became the most popular and was many viewers\u2019 first introduction into the mixtape genre and culture . a large number of post - 2007 mixtapes cite retard - o - tron in their credits , proof of its influence . retard - o - tron is one of the more extreme mixtapes apart from those that are explicitly compilations of extreme footage , featuring ( un ) healthy doses of feces and vomit alongside music videos and cartoons .\nof course , porn aside , many of these mixtapes can hardly be considered legal . who knows how many instances of copyright infringement there are in each one \u2013 dozens would seem conservative \u2013 but since the mixtape scene is still fairly focused and most of the source material so obscure , the creators seem to be largely left alone .\nas the star of the hbo show ,\nthe night of ,\nor maybe from his role in\nrogue one : a star wars story .\nas it turns out , the actor is also a rapper and he lent his talents to the\nhamilton mixtape\nfor the track ,\nimmigrants ( we get the job done ) .\nour memories of the golden age of freestyles and the freestyle mixtape shouldn\u2019t lie in its originality , but in its value to the struggling rapper as a lifeline to their fans . when clipse decided to release their infamous we got it 4 cheap mixtape series , it was in the midst of an ongoing battle with their label following the release of their hit album lord willin\u2019 . the tapes not only offered fans the chance to hear pusha t rap over songs like ghostface killah\u2019s \u201cdaytona 500\u201d or common\u2019s \u201cthe corner , \u201d they provided fans the chance to hear pusha t rap . . . period . if a particular rapper couldn\u2019t push their music through the proper channel , then why not just spend time recording over music that already had ?\naav starts with an intriguing television segment detailing a failed bob crane special in the hawaiian islands . apparently , crane and crew offended the gods by taking pieces of lava and disrespecting idols , and it is posited that crane\u2019s death was the result of a curse . the clips that follow continue this focus on mysticism and incorporate footage from television psychics and haxan . other notable inclusions are a segment from the amazing wally george show , classic horror cartoons from the twenties , and a religious video detailing the sins committed by the eighties\u2019 cartoon she - ra . repeats the same budd dwyer footage found in tv sphincter .\nby the time of the raid , mixtapes had grown from homemade mix cassettes sold on street corners and barbershops to an underground , semi - legal marketplace where album - quality releases from high - profile rappers generated between 30 million and 50 million sales each year , according to the riaa , working out to a conservative estimate of $ 150 million to $ 250 million annually by the end of 2006 . the music industry generally looked the other way , exchanging lost royalties for the promotion and buzz that artists could build from the streets up with multiple \u201cunauthorized\u201d releases per year . if the raid that day just over 10 years ago wasn\u2019t quite the day the mixtape died , it was the day the mixtape , and the industry around it , changed forever .\nthere\u2019s a network of things an artist has to have to be viable , so if you got the right position on worldstar , the right position on the mixtape websites , you can gain a fan base , \u201d says one manager . but , he adds ,\nyou gotta pay to play , because the game is now is an artist - consumer type of thing . \u201d\nthe feeling that coloring book is a mixtape by a hip - hop fan , for hip - hop fans is even further cemented as chance still personally posted the release on reddit\u2019s popular hiphopheads forum late on release night with the simple message \u201cenjoy\u201d . by working outside the system , chance has managed to stay closely in touch with his city , his community and his musical and lyrical inspirations .\nin addition to clipse , chamillionaire and crooked i , whose hip - hop weekly freestyle series spanned a whopping 52 weeks in an attempt to gain notoriety after label troubles at death row kept him out of the spotlight for years , the freestyle mixtape was also an important part of lil wayne & apos ; s rise to superstardom in the mid & apos ; 00s . da drought , dedication and no ceilings were all freestyle mixtape series that allowed weezy to assert his dominance over other rappers . especially on da drought 3 , where wayne utterly eviscerated nearly every popular song at the time\u2014from beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cupgrade u\u201d to dj unk\u2019s \u201cwalk it out\u201d\u2014making it known that he was , in fact , the greatest rapper in the world , and if anyone disagreed with him he would just rap over their beat and prove it .\neventually , with a premium placed on individual songs , surprise albums , and the idea that anyone and everyone can release music to the internet , the freestyle mixtape became nothing more than white noise ; a drop in a pond that sits under a perpetual rainstorm of new releases . the competition of rap transformed itself into something else entirely , and that new dna shows almost no traces of the freestyle in it .\ncompare the traditional freestyle with that of lupe fiasco\u2019s \u201cfreestyle\u201d over a \u201cdead presidents\u201d instrumental . the lyrics are clearly written , refined and calculated to fit perfectly over the beat . although it isn\u2019t a freestyle in terms of the original definition , this type of remix would become what rap fans obsessed over for years , with every artist attempting to best their fellow artists over their own songs . with that , came the freestyle mixtape .\n\u201ca mixtape , at its core , is rapping over other artists ' beats that ' s already out and known , \u201d says styles p , a member of the lox who came up in the 1990s and has released more than a dozen mixtapes in his career , taking the purist\u2019s point of view . \u201cand it ' s a free project . you don ' t charge for it and it ' s not original music . \u201d\nat the time , mainstream hip - hop was nearing the end of the ringtone rap era , when tracks like mims \u2019 \u201cthis is why i\u2019m hot\u201d and soulja boy \u2019s \u201ccrank that ( soulja boy ) \u201d spent weeks atop the hot 100 . but as the mixtape world was changing , it was rescued , and ultimately re - shaped , by the next crop of rappers on the rise as the decade wore on and turned over .\nlos angeles & apos ; dubb has had a long journey to reach this point in his career . from cyphering in nickerson gardens alongside a young kendrick lamar to being featured on nipsey hussle & apos ; s highly buzzed about crenshaw , he has been steadily building up his relevance . yesterday , he released his latest mixtape , never content . included on the 16 - song tape are collaborations with nipsey , rickie jacobs , and iamsu ! , among others .\nat the same time , labels\u2019 stance on tapes changed once again ; having come around to their value in building an artist\u2019s independent brand , labels slowly began re - releasing mixtapes to digital distributors and streaming sites once a signing became publicly official , packaging them as retail mixtapes or eps . that had the effect of turning the promotional product back into the retail product - - and permanently blurring the line between a promotional street mixtape and an official retail album .\n\u201cit was like , \u2018wow , if drama can get locked up for this , nobody ' s safe , \u2019\u201d drama remembers . \u201cmixunit was the biggest mixtape website ; [ the raid ] shifted their whole way of doing business and they stopped selling mixtapes . various djs went on to find other avenues to structure their career and move on . a philly bootlegger who used to make cds told me , just last night , after the raid happened he left the game and did something else . \u201d\nthe new generation\u2019s rise bolstered these mixtape sites and transformed them into gatekeepers themselves . offering projects to registered and non - registered users for free , datpiff and livemixtapes independently developed a new business model for the industry , one based off advertising , exclusive partnerships and behind - the - scenes payments to and from artists in exchange for exclusive hosting rights and prime site placement . a business once based on cash transactions and back - door deals moved into the digital age with only the format truly changing .\nfor artists who already have a fan base , the pay - to - play model is flipped on its head . one artist , when asked how he decides which mixtape site to upload his projects to , responded ,\ndepends on who wants to pay more ,\nputting the amount on offer in the\nthousands .\none indie label owner said an artist on his roster with a couple mixtapes under their belt was paid $ 40 , 000 for a project by my mixtapez ; a tour sponsorship ran an additional $ 15 , 000 . multiple sources estimated the payment to a powerhouse mixtape artist like lil wayne or future to be around $ 50 , 000 for the right to be the tape ' s exclusive host , despite the fact that tapes are almost guaranteed to surface on every major site within a matter of hours ( or minutes ) after a release . reilly said in 2014 that datpiff had exclusive deals with djs like drama , cannon and holiday to host every tape they put out .\nover the next several years , artists like j . cole , drake , big sean , meek and kendrick lamar emerged from this digital mixtape circuit to become forces of that new generation and spark major label bidding wars ; wiz khalifa has said that datpiff specifically aided his rise to multi - platinum recording artist . their album - quality tapes , distributed for free online , came with mastered audio quality , allowing them to build fan bases while labels stayed behind the scenes and allowed grassroots followings to build organically .\nthe freestyle mixtape was its own tour de force . it didn\u2019t ascribe to any regulatory notions of what rap should be , and instead , artists decided for themselves how best to compete in an industry run by labels looking to gain an upper hand on their fame before they could . it was its own entity ; a culmination of both the rise of dj - hosted street albums and the increasing demand for rappers to out - rap their biggest rivals on their own songs , and it was saving careers .\nwould not have had as brilliant of a reception \u2014 and would not have pushed the man & apos ; s career as far \u2014 if it had been released for sale . the combination of that core creative freedom \u2014 which mixtapes have always afforded \u2014 and the new serious artistic effort going into mixtape production ( which is only encouraged by the broad availability of high quality studio software like pro tools ) is pushing hip - hop music as a whole to the next level . it & apos ; s keeping rap fresh .\nwhile the use of mix tapes in hip hop music can be traced back to the mid - 1970s in new york city , when local artists like kool herc and africa bambaataa began recording their live performances on audio cassette tapes , the term \u201cmixtape\u201d in its contemporary sense has been used since as early as the 1990s to describe any full - length hip hop album that is released for free or for promotion of an artist\u2019s upcoming official release , whether it be made of written verses or freestyle set to original composition and remixes of popular tracks .\nthe raid changed that . before drama and cannon were arrested on rico charges -

hop culture and they always have been . and who knows if there ' s another young budding superstar on the way ? \u201d\non the afternoon of jan . 16 , 2007 , just over 10 years ago , dj drama and dj don cannon were arrested on federal racketeering and bootlegging charges related to the alleged sale of mixtapes . authorities , backed by the riaa , confiscated more than 80 , 000 cds and thousands of dollars worth of assets and recording equipment from the duo\u2019s atlanta studio during the raid , as drama and cannon were dubbed \u201cmixtape martyrs , \u201d taking the fall for a scene that had fostered the early rap careers of 50 cent , t . i . and young jeezy , to name a few .\nthe freestyle mixtape would eventually die out , and there are ample reasons for its death . today , the industry that was once dominated by major labels has transformed into smaller , independent pockets of artists , who maintain more creative control over their music than ever before . it feels as though the industry has split itself into two parts\u2014the artists who strive for quality and the artists who strive for quantity . each has their own distinct version of creative control , and there are now fewer artists stuck in the middle waiting out some label deal , hoping to record anything even if it\u2019s over another rapper\u2019s beat .\nto cope , datpiff has been leveraging its relationships with artists and labels to be included in digital - first releases ; for dc4 , for instance , reilly was able to cut a deal with meek\u2019s label atlantic to stream the project but replace the download option with a \u201cbuy\u201d option ; reilly says datpiff sent 100 , 000 people to the purchase link , resulting in 25 , 000 sales . but , he says , it\u2019s been \u201cmore of a pain\u201d as labels take these marquee releases out of their original forums and place them in the mainstream eye . it\u2019s caused sites like his to re - assess once again their place in the mixtape ecosystem , as both platform and library .\nby january 2014 , three top mixtape sites - - datpiff , livemixtapes and audiomack - - were pulling in a combined 7 million unique visitors per month in the u . s . alone , according to comscore data , with datpiff leading the way at 3 . 1 million uniques . but soundcloud , which that month boasted 250 million monthly users and raised $ 60 million on a $ 700 million valuation , largely based on its appeal in the dance music space , was becoming attractive . rising mcs like chance the rapper and the migos , whose growing local and blog buzz meant they no longer needed a larger stage to host their projects , gravitated to soundcloud\u2019s open platform , devoid of gatekeepers .\nif you look hard enough , you can still find plenty of individual freestyles floating around the internet on a daily basis . the same radio shows will invite rappers on to spit a few bars over the latest beats , and at times , you might even come across something special , lyrically speaking . there\u2019s a component missing , though . one that almost feels indescribable . each freestyle now feels like a puzzle piece separated from its contextual box , and we , the listeners , have no way to discern how one freestyle is better than the next . hip - hop\u2019s competitive nature has always been what\u2019s made its dominance over recent pop culture so fascinating , and the small but important iteration that the freestyle mixtape was to that dominance can never be forgotten .\nthe raw , diy hustle of the mixtape has had such a profound influence on hip - hop culture that the style and the terminology have persisted even though the mixtapes of today sound and feel nothing like those of the past . mixtapes still serve their original purpose \u2014 spreading the word and freeing rappers from the constraints of making marketable music \u2014 but now it & apos ; s just being done with new layers of effort and polish . free albums now have studio - quality sound , but are governed by none of the traditional studio conventions like poppy hooks or simplistic radio - structures . the result is that many recent mixtapes are miles beyond studio hip - hop in quality , intricacy , and artistic value . the critics have eaten it up \u2014 check out any\nin 2011 , benjy grinberg of rostrum records , which fostered the careers of khalifa and mac miller , said the only difference between mixtapes and albums was \u201cyou don ' t make any direct money off\u201d tapes ; just three years later , even that line had been erased as the practice became widespread . goldlink \u2019s the god complex became available for sale in the itunes store , for example , months after its initial release . mixtape singles like rich homie quan \u2019s \u201ctype of way\u201d were remastered and began regularly making their way onto the hot 100 chart . drake\u2019s if you\u2019re reading this , it\u2019s too late , was released in february 2015 directly through the itunes store and debuted at no . 1 on the billboard 200 , disregarding a free period of any kind in its entirety . datpiff\u2019s traffic , according to comscore data , would never pass 3 million uniques in a month again .\nmixtapes are also known for the strange and unusual material they can contain . from weird b - movies to sporting accidents and dramatic news footage , through to unintelligible tv shows and rare pilots from countries far and wide , they contain all types of mind boggling clips that most people never knew existed . the heavy doses of porn and various stomach - churning activities and curiosities turn some of these tapes into controversial items , even on the underground .\n\u201cbefore the internet was available in every household , many people around the world used to trade music with each other by taping stuff from their collections onto audio cassettes , and sending them to each other by snail mail , \u201d zxql told torrentfreak .\n\u201cp2p offers you a nearly unlimited library of digital media : there\u2019s no song obscure enough for you not to find it , \u201d says zxql enthusiastically . \u201ceven better : there is so much stuff out there that still needs to be discovered , the chase is as much fun as the catch . mixtapes help you show what\u2019s out there . \u201d\nfinding the source material can be entertaining in itself , zxql explained . \u201cthere\u2019s so much about today\u2019s availability of media that makes this so much fun : hunting for that perfect clip to end your sequence , exploring new music by just typing in keywords and seeing what comes up . \u201d\nhaving laughed , cried , been bemused , shocked and sickened all within the space of a few minutes at retard -

and they are more likely than other falsehoods to be believed , since the same passions conduce to their uncritical reception . hume , perhaps following morgan , makes much the same point in nearly the same words . but he goes beyond morgan in specifying a further exacerbating factor : the religious context of a miracle claim , he urges , makes the telling of a miracle story even more likely .\nlarmer , robert , 1988 , water into wine ? an investigation of the concept of miracle , montreal & kingston : mcgill - queen ' s university press .\nas father shore and archbishop werner face each other across a table in a boardroom , they are like antagonists in any global corporation . they would like to introduce a miraculous new product , but must be sure it will not damage the stock of the company . by seeing the church as an earthly institution and its priests as men doing their best to remain logical in the face of popular ecstasy ,\nthe third miracle\nputs hollywood ' s pop spirituality to shame .\noverall , the inexorable shift from simple digitization ( the third industrial revolution ) to innovation based on combinations of technologies ( the fourth industrial revolution ) is forcing companies to reexamine the way they do business . the bottom line , however , is the same : business leaders and senior executives need to understand their changing environment , challenge the assumptions of their operating teams , and relentlessly and continuously innovate .\nsobel , jordan howard , 1991 , \u201chume ' s theorem on testimony sufficient to establish a miracle , \u201d philosophical quarterly , 41 : 229\u2013237 .\nhowever , if the structural reform plans from china\u2019s third plenum can be successfully implemented , then the recent slowdown could be a smooth transition rather than a hard landing . this gives a reason for optimism that china will avoid the middle - income trap and follow the paths of japan and south korea to achieve high - income status .\nhume also , in one of his definitions of \u201cmiracle , \u201d speaks of an event brought about \u201cby a particular volition of the deity , or by the interposition of some invisible agent . \u201d ( hume 1748 / 2000 : 87 ) since the paradigmatic cases under discussion are for the most part claims that , if true , would answer to the theological dimension of clarke ' s description , we may take a supernatural cause to be a necessary condition for an event ' s being a religiously significant miracle and use the word \u201cmiracle\u201d in this sense where there is no danger of confusion .\nit is , therefore , a debatable question whether the consideration of the passions evoked by tales of the miraculous works for or against the miracle claim in any given instance . this is not an issue that can be settled in advance of a detailed consideration of the facts .\nbeyond all of these considerations , one can make a case for the restriction of the term \u201cmiracle\u201d to events that are supernaturally caused and have some palpable religious significance . an insignificant shift in a few grains of sand in the lonesome desert might , if it exceeded the productive powers of nature , qualify as a miracle in some thin sense , but it would manifestly lack religious significance and could not be used as the fulcrum for any interesting argument . considerations such as this have led many authors to build both the type of agency and some intimation of the purpose into the definition of a miracle . thus , samuel clarke ( 1719 : 311\u201312 ) writes that\noverall ( 1985 ) argues for the more radical contention that a miracle would count as evidence against the existence of god , on three grounds : ( 1 ) if order and harmony are evidence for the existence of god , then a miracle , which entails a breach in the order and harmony of the universe , must count against the existence of god ; ( 2 ) the inevitable controversies over the identification and authentication of a miracle are an impediment to the growth of scientific knowledge and philosophical comprehension ; and ( 3 ) an omnipotent god who does intervene in his creation would be obliged , on pain of moral defect , to intervene more often and more evenhandedly than he is supposed to have done in the christian tradition .\ncontinued robust growth in china would be beneficial for the global economy as well . china\u2019s market for u . s . exports has grown steadily from 4 % in 2004 to over 7 % in 2014 . according to an imf estimate , china contributed about one - third of the world\u2019s growth in 2013 .\nthe final hurdle passed , the sperm still does not thrust its way into the egg itself . rather , the membranes of the two cells fuse , and the egg draws the entire contents of the sperm inside .\npreview the pdf version of this entry at the friends of the sep society .\na trained lawyer , this visionary leader was singapore ' s chief architect in harnessing social cohesion despite ethnic and religious diversity ;

( mackie 1982 : 19\u201320 )\nnova chronicles the race to reach one of the greatest milestones in the history of science : decoding the human genome .\nis a violation of the laws of nature ; and as a firm and unalterable experience has established these laws , the proof against a miracle , from the very nature of the fact , is as entire as any argument from experience can possibly be imagined . ( hume 1748 / 2000 : 86\u201387 )\nthe unstated moral to be drawn is that both the production and the reception of miracle stories are due to a failure to understand the secondary causes lying behind phenomena , while increasing knowledge and culture leaves no room for such stories . hume ( 2000 : 90\u201391 ) also borrowed this line of reasoning .\na miracle ( from the latin mirari , to wonder ) , at a first and very rough approximation , is an event that is not explicable by natural causes alone . a reported miracle excites wonder because it appears to require , as its cause , something beyond the reach of human action and natural causes . historically , the appeal to miracles has formed one of the primary lines of argument in favor of specific forms of theism , the argument typically being that the event in question can best ( or can only ) be explained as the act of a particular deity .\na common approach is to define a miracle as an interruption of the order or course of nature . ( sherlock 1843 : 57 ) some stable background is , in fact , presupposed by the use of the term , as william adams ( 1767 : 15 ) notes :\nall attempts to draw an evidential parallel between the miracles of the new testament and the miracle stories of later ecclesiastical history are therefore dubious . there are simply more resources for explaining how the ecclesiastical stories , which were promoted to an established and favorably disposed audience , could have arisen and been believed without there being any truth to the reports .\nall four cast members are cyclists of near - tour de france skill levels and miracle theatre stalwart hannah stephens brings some welcome discipline to the surreal action as the nameless storyteller . she\u2019s helped no end by ciaran clarke ` s cranky musical sound track .\nas it stands , however , this definition leaves us wanting a more precise conception of what is meant by the order or course of nature . we might therefore try to tighten the definition by saying that a miracle is an event that exceeds the productive power of nature ( st . thomas aquinas , scg 3 . 103 ; st 1 . 110 , art . 4 ) , where \u201cnature\u201d is construed broadly enough to include ourselves and any other creatures substantially like ourselves . variations on this include the idea that a miracle is an event that would have happened only given the intervention of an agent not wholly bound by nature ( larmer 1988 : 9 ) and that a miracle is an event that would have happened only if there were a violation of the causal closure of the physical world .\nas the debate over helen & apos ; s eventual canonization intensifies , father shore , who argues in her behalf , goes up against archbishop werner ( armin mueller - stahl ) , an imperious european cleric , and the movie becomes bogged down in fussy theological arguments and an investigation into helen & apos ; s childhood in slovakia during world war ii . even given its rich , finely shaded performances and intellectual subtleties ,\nthe third miracle\nends up feeling more like an exercise , a carefully outlined set of variations on a challenging theme , than a movie that had to be made .\nin the final analysis , the relevance of background beliefs looms large . to say this is not to endorse a lazy and unprincipled relativism ; rather , the point is that one ' s considered rational judgment regarding the existence and nature of god must take into account far more than the evidence for miracle claims . that is not to say that they could not be an important or even , under certain circumstances , a decisive piece of evidence ; it is simply that neither a positive nor a negative claim regarding the existence of god can be established on the basis of evidence for a miracle claim alone , without any consideration of other aspects of the question .\nthe views expressed in this article are those of the author alone and not the world economic forum .\nnarrator : because of the pain and danger of human labor , we regularly give birth in the presence of others . today , at 4 : 25 a . m . , melinda ' s parents , along with sergio , will have the privilege of witnessing firsthand this extraordinary event\u2014life ' s greatest miracle .\nthere are three reasons why today\u2019s transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the third industrial revolution but rather the arrival of a fourth and distinct one : velocity , scope , and systems impact . the speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent . when compared with previous industrial revolutions , the fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace . moreover , it is disrupting almost every industry in every country . and the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production , management , and governance .\ntoday , we can look closer than ever before : into the womb , into a cell , into the essence of life itself . not only can we see what ' s happening , but now we ' re beginning to see how it happens\u2014the forces that build the embryo , the molecules that drive this remarkable change . we ' re uncovering the most intimate details of how life is created , the secrets behind life ' s greatest miracle .\nand the same for the ear . the outer ear quickly takes shape , but the fetus can ' t hear yet . sound conduction relies on the tiny bones of the inner ear , and most of the bones in the fetus start out as cartilage . by the fourth month , hard bone can be seen forming in the hand and the leg . finally , after five months , the process is complete in the inner ear . and then , the fetus begins to hear sound .\nwhen anyone tells me , that he saw a dead man restored to life , i immediately consider with myself , whether it be more probable , that this person should either deceive or be deceived , or that the fact , which he relates , should really have happened . i weigh the one miracle against the other ;

( 2 ) fiscal reforms\u2014strengthening social safety nets , introducing more efficient and redistributive taxes , and improving health insurance and pension coverage ; ( 3 ) structural reforms\u2014reforming the soes and the hukou system and further opening up markets ; and ( 4 ) external sector reforms\u2014liberalizing the exchange rate and capital account controls .\nif p ( t 1 ( m ) | m ) / p ( t 1 ( m ) | ~ m ) > 1 , it follows at once that the claim , arguably attributable to hume , that the evidence of testimony can never overcome the antecedent presumption against a miracle , is false . as charles babbage puts it :\nfor the evidence for a miracle claim , being public and empirical , is never strictly demonstrative , either as to the fact of the event or as to the supernatural cause of the event . it remains possible , though the facts in the case may in principle render it wildly improbable , that the testifier is either a deceiver or himself deceived ; and so long as those possibilities exist , there will be logical space for other forms of evidence to bear on the conclusion . arguments about miracles therefore take their place as one piece\u2014a fascinating piece\u2014in a larger and more important puzzle .\nin humans , gastrulation happens deep inside the mother ' s uterine lining , so it can ' t be photographed . but we think it works something like this : the blastocyst creates two oblong bubbles , one on top of the other . sandwiched between them is a thin layer of cells . these are the cells which one day may become a baby . at the beginning of gastrulation , some cells begin moving toward the center . then they dive downwards , creating a new , lower layer . more cells plunge through , squeezing in between , forming a third . the cells in the three layers may not look different , but for each layer , a very different future lies ahead .\nthe sperm ' s 23 chromosomes stretch out in the roomy , welcoming egg . the chromosomes of sperm and egg approach each other and then the cell divides .\nthe heart is one of the few organs that actually work during the earliest weeks of development . but with other organs , function comes later . with the eye , although the retina and lens are well - formed by the ninth week , the fetus doesn ' t respond to light until the fifth or sixth month .\nthe falsehood of the testimony to a miraculous event is always at least as probable as the event attested to ( however good the testimony seems to be ) .\nadd music info heard in the movie but not listed on the soundtrack cd .\nas a fourth and final argument , hume sketches some accounts of purported miracles outside of the canonical christian scriptures\u2014two cures ascribed to vespasian , one catholic miracle reported to have been worked at saragossa , and some cures ascribed to the influence of the tomb of the jansenist abbe paris in the early 1700s\u2014and suggests that their affidavits are in various respects as good as one could wish for . hume clearly expects his protestant readers to reject these stories with disdain . he leaves unstated the obvious conclusion : by parity , his readers should also reject the miracles of the new testament .\nsince the moment the sperm entered the egg , 24 hours have passed . all this time the fertilized egg is moving down the fallopian tube toward the uterus . every few hours , the cells divide . four . . . eight . . . sixteen . . . gradually creating the building blocks needed to construct an embryo .\nhume ' s balancing principle . the testimony should be believed if , and only if , the falsehood of the testimony is less probable than the event attested to .\ndirector bill scott and his four - strong cast wisely concentrate on the zany wordplay , the physical comedy and the increasingly bizarre array of characters , while managing the shock twist at the end with considerable style .\nin the future , technological innovation will also lead to a supply - side miracle , with long - term gains in efficiency and productivity . transportation and communication costs will drop , logistics and global supply chains will become more effective , and the cost of trade will diminish , all of which will open new markets and drive economic growth .\nthe trouble with this crude argument is once again in the definition of \u201cmiracle , \u201d which here goes beyond a mere violation concept in adding immutability , which generates the contradiction . one retort that historically proved attractive is to accept the violation concept but deny that the laws of nature are immutable ; instead the truly immutable laws are higher laws\u2014laws that govern not only the behavior of physical entities but the interactions of physical and non - physical entities\u2014and what appear to us to be violations of the laws of nature are really nothing less than instances of a higher law .

[ o ] ne must ask if it is always more likely , i . e . , conformable to experience , that those claiming the event to be a miracle are mistaken rather than that the event is a genuine violation of a law of nature . counterinstances of what are taken to be natural laws are not by themselves evidence establishing that no natural law could possibly explain them : at most they provide grounds for revising our formulations of natural laws or seeking an improved understanding of the nature of the phenomena in question . at the very least they provide grounds for suspending judgments about the nature of their cause until more evidence is available . on the other hand , past experience shows that what are at one time considered violations of natural laws are frequently found at some later time not to be so . proportioning belief to evidence , therefore , it is more reasonable to believe that the claim that an event is a miracle is mistaken than it is that the event is a violation of natural law .\nthis is the power of genes , creating cascades of chemical reactions , defining the form and function of all the cells in your body .\nthe economic value of every person in singapore today is as high as that of the us .\none milestone event takes place just two weeks after conception , when the blastocyst is about the size of a poppy seed . this is the moment when the cells start to organize themselves into an embryo . the process is called\ngastrulation .\nbasically the story of a man forced to finally see the injustice around him . riley\u2019s movie is designed to do the same thing to you . \u2026\nfor every challenge the sperm face , success is , to a great extent , controlled by the woman ' s body and even the egg itself .\ncraig , william lane , 1985 , the historical argument for the resurrection of jesus during the deist controversy , lewiston , ny : edwin mellen press .\nas the days pass , changes proceed at a rapid -

existence of god would be eo ipso a demonstration that miracles do not take place ; and an argument that demonstrated that the existence of god is impossible would demonstrate that miracles are likewise impossible . but the more common arguments for this conclusion are more modest ; rather than setting out to show the existence of god to be impossible , they typically invoke theological premises to show that if there were a god , then miracles would not occur .\nthose who make it will face yet another challenge . underneath the cloud of cells , the egg itself is encased in a thick protein shell , called the\nzona .\nto fertilize the egg , the sperm must break through the zona . but even the strongest can ' t do it by brute force alone . the egg demands a proper introduction . proteins protruding from the sperm ' s cap must hook up precisely with a set of proteins on the egg ' s surface . if they match , the sperm is held fast and undergoes a dramatic transformation . it sheds its outer coating , releasing powerful enzymes that dissolve a hole in the zona , allowing the sperm to push its way through .\nin the sixth month , genes in the brain order the manufacture of a fatty substance called\nmyelin ,\nwhich wraps around the long connections between brain cells . this fatty covering allows nerve impulses to travel up to 100 times faster , greatly enhancing brainpower . the process will continue for years after the baby is born .\nspeaking of miracles as violations of the laws of nature also raises questions about the nature of violation . richard swinburne ( 1970 ) has suggested that a miracle might be defined as a non - repeatable counter - instance to a law of nature . if a putative law has broad scope , great explanatory power , and appealing simplicity , it may be more reasonable , swinburne argues , to retain the law ( defined as a regularity that virtually invariably holds ) and to accept that the event in question is a non - repeatable counter - instance of that law than to throw out the law and create a vastly more complex law that accommodates the event .\nthen it is free to get to work . searching for food and oxygen , cells from the blastocyst reach down and burrow into the surrounding tissue . eventually , they pull the entire bundle down into the uterine lining . and sooner or later , the mother will notice .\nin addition to being a key economic concern , inequality represents the greatest societal concern associated with the fourth industrial revolution . the largest beneficiaries of innovation tend to be the providers of intellectual and physical capital\u2014the innovators , shareholders , and investors\u2014which explains the rising gap in wealth between those dependent on capital versus labor . technology is therefore one of the main reasons why incomes have stagnated , or even decreased , for a majority of the population in high -

( source : ann )\narete hime comienza como cabe esperar . tenemos a la princesa arete , encerrada en la torre del castillo , esperando que sus pretendientes cumplan sus pruebas . ella , en tanto , pasa su vida leyendo , fug\u00e1ndose por un pasadizo secreto para conocer el lugar donde vive\u2026\narete : i can ' t imagine what it must be like to live in a country going through a bout of economic trouble .\nwhen a sorcerer called boax comes to the castle , he sets about persuading the king to let him marry the princess . but he secretly fears a prophecy which foretells arete ending his life \u2013 leading him to imprison her the minute she\u2019s in his castle ! based on the 1983 story\nthe clever princess\nby diana coles , this is a chance to see a story that fascinated japan on the big screen . language : japanese with english subtitles only .\narete hime initially seems like a typical modern iteration of a fairy tale , ala disney , with a captive princess who desires to see the world and empathize with its denizens . eventually , it shapes into a multi - segmented journey of self discovery more akin to\nsiddhartha\nthan\nrapunzel .\nevery young girl should watch princess arete at least once . while it will hardly rank as any child ' s favorite , it is an important film that respects their cognitive skills and that they will certainly learn to appreciate in adulthood . more than an amazing role model , arete is a relatable character with whom girls will surely identify themselves with \u2013 and maybe , like she did , they will be able to find the magic inside too .\nit ' s mentioned that royalty often have to marry for their countries over love , such as arete and sumeragi ' s first marriages .\narete is so strong . she told that i also can use that magic\u2026 and the pictures were sophisticated ! this is an underrated anime !\nanime limited has picked up a new feature to add to their library with the acquisition of the princess arete work . the film saw distribution through netflix recently , though that ended earlier this year , alongside with several other studio 4\u00b0c projects . anime limited will be detailing their release plan in the coming weeks .\nwhile not without merit , princess arete is slow - paced and feels about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be to tell the story . because of this , its themes of empathy and looking beyond outward appearances may get lost for younger kids . children who aren ' t anime fans already may feel bored .\nsynopsis : confined in the castle tower by her father , princess arete spends her days watching the world outside her window . while she looks out at the common people working , the knights of the kingdom compete for her hand in marriage by searching for powerful magical items from a race of long - dead sorcerers .\nprincess arete cares more for the goodness of a person rather than their appearances . she shows empathy and concern for everyone she observes from afar in her kingdom and wants nothing to do with the thieving and lying knights who pretend to be in love with her to win the throne and the riches that come with it .\nuptown girl : a male version , for mikoto ; he ' s the king of hoshido , and she ' s a fallen princess masquerading as a commoner and his concubine .\nprincess arete ( houko kiwoshima ) lives a lonely life , made to live in a tower at the behest of her strict father . to win arete ' s hand in marriage , suitors compete to win treasure for the king . while this is happening , arete yearns to experience the outside world , to live as an ordinary person , and to travel the world . after getting caught trying to escape the kingdom , the king matches arete with the wizard boax ( tsuyoshi koyama ) , who enchants her and takes her to his faraway castle , where his only companion is a frog - turned - lackey named grovel ( minami takayama ) . as arete now lives a lonely life locked in the wizard ' s basement , her only friend is ample , who hails from a nearby village and cooks food for boax in exchange for the water he hordes . arete must find a way to break boax ' s spell , get all the water out of the castle and toward the village , and follow through on her desires to travel the world .\nfairy - tales have been universally used as a way to educate children and pass forward values through the generations . by adopting a fairy - tale format , princess arete is making a point : there are certain traditional values that have no place in modern day society , and should be replaced at once . it wants to pass on its own values , but does it appeal to its target audience ? modern media geared towards younger viewers is often the polar opposite of what princess arete is . fast - paced , loud and brightly colored , it tends to reinforce the worrisome belief that children are not capable of introspection and should not be challenged intellectually and emotionally . arete ' s story does not need dragons and magic to be stimulating . all it needs is a relatable heroine facing a relatable conflict .\noriginally released in 2001 , the film was written and directed by sunao katabuchi with character designs from satoko morikawa . it\u2019s based on the original work the clever princess from diana coles .\nsecond princess of valla , and later queen of hoshido . she can be pretty manipulative when she wants something , but is ultimately a good person who just wants a happy ending .\noutside context hero : subdued cases in mikoto and arete , in that they can only do so much to prepare either side for the true enemy .\nby andrew osmond . the film princess arete is the tale of a little girl growing up in a castle , refusing to resign herself to being married to a hunky prince charming . then a sorcerer , frightened by a prophecy about the girl , effectively buys her from her father and imprisons her in his remote castle\u2026 but [ \u2026 ]\na pilot , despite being advised not to , bonds with a princess when he is tasked with escorting the royal subject overseas and across enemy territory to reunite her with her future husband .\nit\u2019s now the year 2016 , new challenges and obstacles awaits us in this following year and let me start the by introducing you guys the movie princess and what i think about it .\ni cant believe a guy like you would notice me : due to their differing social backgrounds , he ' s absolutely shocked when he finds out princess mikoto reciprocates his feelings towards her .\nthe japanese cast includes houko kuwashima as arete , tsuyoshi koyama as boax , minami takayama as ample , satomi koorogi as witch and y\u00fbsuke numata as grovel .\ndoomed by canon : as a prequel fic to fates , the reader knows that mikoto , arete , sumeragi , and garon are all doomed to die .\nboax has a deal worked out with a village that he will supply water if the village feeds him . the one who work for him is a lady named amble . amble tries to free arete but can\u2019t seem to break her out . this sparks arete to break out of her enchantment and reverts to being a child . boax then gives arete a impossible task to free himself of her . however arete decides to go back to boax\u2019s liar and learns that he has jewel that makes water . she steals the jewel and floods the barren land so it will be green again . boax then loses his magian crystal that makes so he can use magic thus ending his immortal life and fulling that pesky prophesy . arete then goes off on to see the world , the end .\nin a magic fantasy setting , music and animation of the setting is very important in hooking the viewers to care . but for fairytale scenery princess arete loses for it doesn\u2019t have any appealing atmosphere . the animation is just very gray and gloomy . as for the music it\u2019s doesn\u2019t have any good bgm and the other song are just plain forgettable .\nrussian -

bore charm of early 90s cg .\nis at its best when its heroine is free to do as she pleases . she truly is a clever princess , and kuwashima houko does such an earnest job of it that you really have to root for her .\narete by creating and giving her sister the barricade staff , mikoto by using it to raise the barrier around hoshido , delaying the hoshidan - nohrian war until the time of fates .\nwhen looking back at the entire journey our main character , arete undergoes , it ' s quite epic . this in no way changes the fact that some stretches are completely starved for plot development , using the time instead to flash some scenic shots and play with arete ' s diatribes on her predicaments . which brings me to one of the biggest problems with this film :\non the one hand i respect this angle but on the other it means that arete herself has no character development . she doesn\u2019t grow , she reverts and then goes back to herself .\nwhen anankos ' troops surround mikoto and arete , they both think they are about to be killed . one discussion with anankos later , the soldiers let them go , to their surprise .\narete opens with an act detailing young arete ' s rapunzel - like cloistering in preparation for marriage . establishing her necessary independent spirit , she frequently sneaks out of her castle to see how the commoners live , and is awestruck by the kind of magic we all can understand - those of artisans and skilled crafters . it ' s here that she starts to descend into a malaise that , as a noble princess , she ' ll never be able to perform that kind of everyday magic , and resolves to run away forever . enter a menacing sorcerer , boak , who essentially kidnaps arete through legal means and imprisons her in his castle . to do so , he casts a spell on her which transforms her physically into a more ' traditional ' princess ; older , more beautiful , and utterly without ambition . while imprisoned , arete ' s malaise ( assumedly exacerbated from her depression in the first act ) keeps her docile so she cannot fulfill the prophecy boak fears - that she will end his eternal life . it ' s here that the film starts to pick up , as a local villager incites arete to action - by telling her to imagine what she ' d like to be in a fairy tale of her own making . here , things get a bit metatextual , as arete imagines the life she previously lived , making the film self - aware that it is a fairy tale itself . it never becomes overtly or annoyingly so , but still : i loved the fact that it admits to using cliches because , well , that ' s what the audience wants .\narete ' s first husband , theophilus , is killed in the very first chapter after a failed attempt to talk down anankos . it ' s only made known after the murder has happened .\none would assume studio ghibli has an unspoken monopoly - at least in japan - on the plucky young heroine genre , with kiki , the girls from totoro , and san from princess mononoke being the standard bearers , but miyazaki & co . shouldn ' t rest on their laurels too placidly , as it ' s clear from princess arete that they ' re not the only ones that can do it right , and do it well . arete is by no means a perfect film , suffering from jarring act transitions and a dearth of much action in the first hour , but is animated crisply , provides a wonderful metatextual plot device to open the third act , and leaves the viewer with - if not a sense of wonder - at least a sense of satisfaction in a story of the death of supernatural magic and the quest for meaning and identity .\nin conclusion princess arete is not a bad show for it has good message that can be thought provoking and inspiring but it will take a lot of patience and tolerance for one to get the message fully which is not very rewarding if you take account the time you invested on it . there are other good deconstruction of fairytale out there worth the check like the movies of studio ghibli made i highly recommend you check it out .\nthis is somewhat of a departure for animation house , studio 4\u2103 , who are better known for their bold , inventive and frenetic movies rather than this quiet and deliberately paced fairytale . based on a diana coles novel , princess arete , is about a young princess locked away in a tower by her father to protect and preserve her innocence . suitors visit her at night but she sees through their lies and simply dreams of experiencing the world outside her window . when a sorcerer tricks her into marrying him she substitutes one prison for another . the film is interesting for subverting traditional fairytale convention , there is no white knight or dashing prince to save our heroine instead she must find the strength from\u2026\ndramatic shattering : when using a crystal ball to see the truth behind hydra , mikoto drops and breaks it when she sees the image morph from hydra - her beloved husband - into anankos , the silent dragon himself . needless to say , neither mikoto nor arete , who saw this at the same time , take this well ( arete less than mikoto , as anankos had killed king theophilus in a fit of rage ) .\n: mikoto has a moment of this at the end of chapter 2 , when she realizes that while her manipulations paid off and allowed her to marry hydra , they also hurt her sister , queen arete , deeply .\npolitically active princess : mikoto has been involved in the politics of valla ' s court since she was twelve , and is actually her sister ' s chief adviser . she keeps it up after she flees to hoshido , working her way onto sumeragi ' s council .\nachieve by determination and prior knowledge than relying on fairy god mothers and epic level wizards to turn the tables . the show became anti - escapism for arete resolve her troubles by herself which is impressive for me because most princess stories i ever read or watch are mostly saved by the prince or by their magical spell caster guardians . but the biggest weak point of the story is the characters in general ; they are presented in a overly dry manner that it\u2019s hard for me to take any care or sympathy for them . characters lack actual depth in the story . the interaction is unappealing and not interesting . the characters are not exciting or dynamic . arete should be dynamic given the role of a smart princess and the wizard boax is not very intimidating given he\u2019s presented to be the antagonist of the story . sadly to say he is one the dries fearsome wizard i ever known even the wizard in the smurf looks more interesting . nice presentation of message but very shallow on character presentation .\nnevertheless , fantasy stories about being a princess - like figure - - twilight\u2019s bella is a more contemporary ( and stupider ) version of the generic princess archetype - - are still popular . us cool kids don\u2019t like that kind of mainstream crap ; we want aversions , subversions , and different settings ( aka what made twilight oh - so popular ) . reinventions , especially the darker and edgier types , are fascinating to us . think revolutionary girl utena , a work that changed the shoujo demographic forever . grown - up people are like so mature ~\nrebellious princess : mikoto , in her early years , would sneak around outside the palace to consort with\nhydra\n, volunteered to go on adventures , and manipulated or broke the rules to suit her own ends . she matures out of it as the fic goes on .\nmikoto and arete decide to arrange for azura and kamui to get married as part of a deal to help hoshido and nohr to get along . although circumstances nix the idea , mikoto sees that it could have worked out regardless .\nevil gloating : anankos likes to brag about his superiority and how doomed the human race is when he talks with mikoto and arete . garon also partakes in it in cheve , to further drive a wedge between hoshido and nohr .\nmysterious past : since the vallite curses mean that a . ) no one remembers valla , and that b . ) arete and mikoto can ' t speak of their pasts there , they have to present themselves as having this .\nmaking a splash : valla as a whole is associated with water , with natives possessing the ability to travel through it as a gift from anankos . naturally , this ability extends to mikoto and arete , which they use to escape .\nmeaningful name :\ntheophilus\n, the chosen name for arete ' s husband and azura ' s father , means\nfriend of god\n, referring to his close friendship to anankos before his death at anankos ' s hands .\ni must admit that i have quite the soft spot for studio 4\u00b0c . they brought to life one of my favorite manga works , tekkon kinkreet , in 2006 . along with making other visually stunning and complex works such as their shorter films noiseman sound insect , sweat punch , and digital juice , they ' ve always been an anime studio i ' ve held in very high regards . on those notions alone i decided to finally check out some of their earlier theatrical works , starting with their 2001 release princess arete .\nparents need to know that princess arete is a 2001 anime about a princess kept locked up in a tower who longingly observes the goings - on of the common people below as she avoids the overtures of marriage from unscrupulous knights and a wicked wizard . while the slow pace might pose the biggest challenge to younger viewers , there is also a scene in which rats attack a wizard ' s lackey and two instances of profanity (\ns - - t\nand\ndamn\n) . while it isn ' t the best anime in terms of the quality of the animation and the story itself , tween fans of the genre - - as well as their parents - - will respond to the movie ' s themes of seeking the reality underneath the appearances , empathy for others , and yearning for travel to faraway lands .\ni ' ll leave the third act alone , but , suffice to say , the action ramps up considerably here with arete ' s escape , and studio 4\u00b0c really saves the picture with its resolution - magic abounds , lessons are learned , redemption is tasted , and happily ever after is established . as for what it saves the picture from - the second act deals with the boredom of boak and arete ' s malaise . the film does a great job evoking these feelings in the audience , as it ' s pretty boring and slow . it does a not so great job mainly because it ' s pretty boring and slow . still , that ' s not enough to hinder the picture too much , and it makes up for that in the end . princess arete is a shot fired across ghibli ' s bow - though they don ' t have too much to worry about from this film alone , a few more of this quality from studio 4\u00b0c or anyone else ought to get them a little nervous .\nis an interesting piece of work . beautiful in its simplicity , it tells a tale of a princess who doesn ' t want to be saved by a knight in shining armor , but rather to live life by her own terms . i wouldn ' t exactly call it an opus of girl power , seeing as arete never once runs into men who remotely equal her in intellect and wisdom , but on the other hand it ' s refreshing to see a film starring a girl who uses her brains instead of fan service to get herself out of tricky situations .\nforegone conclusion : the fic is in - line with the canon of fates , so the reader knows that mikoto and arete ' s attempts to stop anankos and unite hoshido and nohr are ultimately doomed to failure . the best they do is stall for time .\noverall , it ' s the titular character who manages to keep this movie interesting and somewhat engaging . her desire to see and experience the world , to live and work as those she observes while locked away in her tower , makes her a princess much different from the archetypal princesses seen in so many kids ' movies . for kids beginning to come of age and starting to see and imagine a larger world outside their usual surroundings , these qualities alone make arete a relatable character , one the viewer can ' t help but root for as she struggles against characters less interesting than she .\n- long pans of the countryside , long journeys , this film is rife with scenes that simply take too damn long . one of the worst sequences involves the sorcerer and the princess almost competing to see who is more bored . i ' d have to call that one a truly inspired moment of animation , right there .\narete hime takes off from the heart of a medieval city depicted placing special attention on the trades , the clothing and the buildings , holding a closeness to the atmosphere of arthurian tales that was to me unseen in japanese animation . with that sober though colourful tone , the protagonist goes on to introduce her adventurous charms as a princess who prefers to risk her life by jumping the voids that separate her from the outside over choosing to stay in her tower and hear , unbelieving , the concoctions that suitors recite to her about either her beauty or their heroism , traits not present in either case .\nrussian - born origa first came to japan in 1991 on a home - stay program , and made her major debut in japan in 1995 under the emi music japan label . she performed theme songs for ghost in the shell : stand alone complex , ghost in the shell : stand alone complex 2nd gig , ghost in the shell : stand alone complex : solid state society , fantastic children , and princess arete . she also performed the hymn singing voice for the character kanon in gust and koei tecmo games ' ar nosurge playstation 3 and playstation vita video game , which shipped in japan last year .\narete is a curious little girl , who also happens to be a princess . clever and resourceful , she is the epitome of cool , and a truly inspirational role model . she is empathetic to the core , and tries to understand the reasons behind other people ' s actions before judging them , though she has her own problems to worry about . deprived of freedom and objectified as a prize for men to win , she never lets her circumstances dim her bold soul . she is obstinate and refuses to accept what she doesn ' t believe in ; her love of life is what keeps her ever hopeful , and because she never feels sorry for herself , we don ' t either . the sight of such a rich spirit confined in a cage is certainly sad , and is undoubtedly what gives the first half of the film its air of melancholy . but we never pity arete \u2013 we root for her . her character development is beautiful , and seeing her grow from a timid but intelligent princess into the brave adventurer she becomes is extremely satisfying . we are often teased with the notion that she will be saved by someone else eventually , but she ultimately puts an end to her misfortune using no magical object or outside help , but with her wits alone .\nwhat amazes me is that this work is old - school allegory . arete symbolizes the feminist and existentialist aspects of the work ; she feels timid , but she wants to find her own meaning of life . stuck in the towers and objectified as a treasure , she is sick of becoming a princess - - a twist on the archetype and an attack on the disney princess culture . there is a gradual progression of her character development : from an isolated figure afraid of having a meaningless life to a braver and maturing female . she is logically the person you will add to your favorite characters if you liked the movie a lot . boax , the villain , also controls a number of themes as well : the role of magic ( or technology if using the work to compare and contrast today\u2019s society ) , male superiority , and the villain archetype . other supporting characters reflect the wickedness of fairy tales in a realistic lens . anyone interested in writing or reading inventive tales will rejoice .\nspeaking of character , they don\u2019t have much personalities . arete just wants to sees the world and is curious . boax is a meanie - pants , really half is dialogue is just yelling . boax\u2019s servants grovel and amble are there though amble has a backbone and grovel is a frog .\nthough arete is the focus of the film for the most part , that is not to say the supporting cast is devoid of value . in fact , the main antagonist boax is done quite brilliantly . a wicked wizard on the outside , he has the soul of a spoiled and simple - minded child . he insists on glorifying a past long gone , and cannot deal with the sight of his world crumbling around him . his own long and enduring existence is soon coming to a halt , and that thought terrifies him . to say he is an allegory for patriarchy would be an understatement . he represents a whole set of values which slowly but surely are losing their influence over societies around the world . and yet , he remains a relatable and charismatic character with a whole lot of individuality . while ample is not as charismatic , she is an important ally to arete . both are forced into a submissive position ; nevertheless , while she never actively helps the princess , though she tries to , it ' s their mutual empathy what makes the cook share the precious piece of knowledge arete uses to save herself . by joining forces , these two competent , empowered female figures weaken others ' influence over their lives .\nsadly , the point of the film is that she must overcome prisons , both mental and physical , in order to attain that freedom , and it is in these sequences that the screenplay just drags and drags . it is almost a shame that boax turns out to be merely selfish and petty rather anything greater . . . the\nvillain\nin this piece is never really sympathetic , but never really more than an outside threat , you realize very quickly that princess arete can and will outsmart him even with her proverbial hands tied . the outcome almost seems to be a foregone conclusion , and that ' s what the children ' s audience is going to be looking for here .\nuptown girl : for her first husband , anankos . this ended up being a plot point when she had to manipulate her sister into letting them marry , much to arete ' s anger . later , her second husband sumeragi was the uptown boy for her , since she was supposed to be just a commoner .\nset years before the game ' s present setting , it follows mikoto ' s life as a princess of valla , before eventually becoming the queen of hoshido . while most of the fic ' s story is original due to how the time frame is largely unexplored , it follows the canon laid down by the game and tries to fill in the blanks of some unanswered plot points .\ntruth serums : the throne in valla is enchanted so that anybody sitting on it cannot lie . when hydra remembers his identity as the soul of anankos , he ' s able to prove it ( along with his non - hostility ) to arete and mikoto because he sat down on the throne sometime during their conversation .\nwhen vallites lose loved ones , it is customary for family members to cut off their hair , with the amount cut off being proportional to how close they were to the deceased . arete shaves down to the scalp after her husband is killed by anankos , and mikoto does likewise after sumeragi is killed and kamui is kidnapped .\nhe decides arete and mikoto aren ' t a threat to him and lets them go when they ' re in his grasp ; the sisters go on to delay his plans long enough for corrin , azura and the royals to grow up . had he simply killed them when he had the chance , he would have won .\narete is at once adorable and inspiring , in that fairy tale heroine manner , so all is not lost with this movie . lectures on philosophy are one of my greatest peeves , and she throws a couple out there , but thankfully , most of her character development focuses on her perspective . arete is not only starved of human contact , but also just the general gratification of being able to live . her yearning for things so gosh darned basic , things as simple as friends or everyday emotions , illustrates the degree to which she is sheltered and makes her pitiful in a heart wrenching way . she ` s even more affecting because she doesn ` t just cry and accept the pity . instead of lamenting her own misfortune , she always keeps her hope and her wits about her through tough situations to get the freedom which she so desires . arete ` s mild mannerisms are a break from the utter exaggerations of most anime characters , and is a benefit to her cause for sympathy . emotional understatement is much more effective than rampant bawling . her rounded personality makes her more complete , more nuanced . her timid demeanor and slight build serve to contrast and highlight her internal fortitude . when all is said and done , arete stands side by side with the best animated heroines targeted towards children in any feature , japanese or otherwise .\njapanese animation in recent years saw the rise of younger directors such as makoto shinkai ( your name , 2016 ) or mamoru hosoda ( wolf children , 2012 ) . if you like european\nhigh - blow\nmovie , katabuchi is for you . you will soon find that his understanding of classical movies and literature is extraordinary . princess arete is his first full - length movie and has many good points . however , the slow development of the story might bore the viewers . my suggestion is to watch his more recent mai mai miracle ( 2009 ) or in this corner of the world ( 2016 ) first , since these movies are more entertaining . if you like these movies and want to know more about katabuchi , you will enjoy this one .\nmikoto ' s first husband and kamui ' s blood father , whom she finds as an amnesiac man and nurses back to health . after he regains his memories , he learns he was actually anankos ' s soul given physical form , and helps mikoto , arete and their children escape . he then vanishes as his evil half takes over as the main antagonist of the story .\nsort of ; the letter was sent by the real garon as a genuine offer of peace , after arete died trying to warn him about anankos . but he was killed and replaced by anankos ' s familiar shortly after sending it , and anankos took the opportunity to further divide hoshido and nohr . the lost king elaborates on the events surrounding garon ' s\nreplacement\n.\nhowever , the aesthetics are ultimately unimportant , as this film is about several very interesting themes that are cleverly woven together . as i\u2019ve mentioned , the first thing that struck me was the commentary on gender roles common in fantasy stories . there\u2019s a real sadness about arete\u2019s fate , the fact that she\u2019s objectified and essentially caged to preserve her preciousness . she\u2019s smarter than her potential suitors , and sees through them for the power hungry pillagers that they are . she\u2019s sensitive to the lives of the peasants that she observes but can never influence , and when she escapes her tower to experience the real world , the people of the court conclude she\u2019s become cursed . the build up is very slow ( but never monotonous ) and it\u2019s forty minutes into the film that the conflict really begins when she\u2019s pawned off by her father to be married to an evil wizard ( the \u201cevil wizard\u201d part isn\u2019t a traditional fairytale trope , but the \u201cpawning off by her father\u201d is ) . when the wizard imprisons arete again , there\u2019s an interesting parallel between the princess\u2019s trapped state and the wizard who essentially isolates and imprisons himself , and another parallel between the wizard and a witch character that appeared earlier\u2026 one of whom is prepared to foolishly wait for something which will probably never happen , the other not .\nshotgun wedding : invoked by mikoto . she knows that she cannot get married to hydra due to him being a commoner , but she also knows that arete would be forced to allow a union if they have sex out of wedlock so as to preserve the family ' s honor . mikoto then sleeps with hydra and purposefully gets caught by one of her gossipy maids , leading to a quiet and hastily thrown together wedding .\ntraditional fairy - tale model . it uses clever metaphors and sensible story - telling to address its primary underlying theme : the reaching for freedom through self - discovery . arete must face her journey alone \u2013 no one will come and save her . the only way she can be set free from her predicament is by her own hands . she must re - discover the magic inside to shake off the shackles that bind her .\nthis is just the tip of the iceberg of the ideas that the film explores , but the pacing prevents anything from feeling crammed or overcooked . arete\u2019s actions during the final arc of the movie are both ironic and admirably heroic . i\u2019m nitpicking by naming this film\u2019s flaws , but the plot occasionally relies on convenient coincidences and the pacing probably severely limits its appeal . but anime that are as insightful and meaningful as this are a rarity .\nstudio 4\u00bac is well known for its smooth animations and appealing visuals , and it does not disappoint with princess arete . the relaxed pacing allows the movie to take its time and layer each scene so that they all feel dimensional . movements all look fluid , whereas the minimalistic character designs are cute and fitting of the fairy - tale premise . while the color scheme complements the medieval setting , the faded colors do make the movie look a bit dated , though everything else looks so pretty this detail can be easily overlooked . backgrounds seem as if they came right off a storybook ; outside environments look like oil paintings , and the interiors are all very detailed . on the sound department , it is equally superb : the theme song krasno solntse by origa is breathtakingly beautiful , and it complements the melancholic feel of some scenes perfectly . the ending theme kin ' iro no tsubasa sounds nostalgic , yet heartwarming . as for the rest of the ost , it is consistently solid , with some tracks more memorable than others ."]}

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

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

, and to the commitment of some movie industry mavericks , longtime companion , lucas\u2019 first screenplay and the first major feature film about gay men and aids , opened last week to admiring reviews . although it remains to be seen how the movie will fare against the summer\u2019s blockbusters , the story of the odds it overcame to be a contender should at least sweeten its appeal .\nlongtime companion drew strongly favorable reviews . rolling stone contributor peter travers proclaimed it a\nvital\nwork , and david ansen , writing in newsweek , deemed it\nremarkable .\nkevin thomas , in a los angeles times review , described it as\nan illuminating , deeply moving experience .\nfor lucas , who had explained to jan hoffman in village voice that he longed to render homosexuals as\nlike everyone else ,\nthe film constituted a considerable success .\n\u201che said he had never seen a black journalist , and the only stories he had read ( about black people ) in the tuscaloosa news were for a white person needing a black person to clean their house or something that was negative , \u201d recalled ann ragland , curry\u2019s longtime companion . \u201che was determined that he was going to write something more positive for black people . he wanted the generation that followed him to know that there are black journalists out there . \u201d\nthe team waited months to hear some news . just before it was to screen at the sundance film festival in january 1990 , longtime companion finally got some interest from the samuel goldwyn company , which was run by future sony pictures chairman tom rothman . at the time , rothman was quoted as saying the movie would be a \u201charder sell than shakespeare , \u201d but \u201c whatever happens , i can say right now that i\u2019m glad we were willing to take that chance . \u201d\npossibly because it is the first mainstream american film about aids , ' ' longtime companion ' ' is a lot gentler and even more upbeat than it need be . it is instructional , mannerly and , with the exception of a couple of scenes and performances , insipid . it ' s as if it didn ' t want to offend people who don ' t want to think about the plague ( but who probably won ' t go to see the movie anyway ) .\ncraig lucas ( screenwriter , longtime companion ) : i was invited by a number of film producers to meet about possible projects . they all said more or less the same thing : \u201cwhat would you like to write about ? \u201d i would say , \u201csomething about the community out on fire island as it was hit by the aids epidemic . \u201d and they would always respond with something like , \u201coh wow , great . but after that , what would you like to write ? \u201d\nwhile there are parts of each work that resemble one another\u2014including , unfortunately , the lack of attention paid to minorities\u2014longtime companion never bristles with the same anger that define kramer\u2019s writing and activism . though protest and the gay men\u2019s health crisis both work their way into the film by its end , it focuses less on mobilization and more on how the crisis affected the interpersonal relationships of gay men in the era . it begins with the characters reading and reacting to the new york times\u2019 famous 1981 report\nbut the filmmakers don ' t deserve that knock ; they made the kind of story they wanted to . besides , by focusing on the impact on homosexuals , the group hardest hit by aids in the ' 80s , rene and lucas underline how much time has gone by without any substantial progress made to fight the disease . it doesn ' t take much to realize that the heartache and sense of futility described in\nlongtime companion\nare felt by all who are touched by aids .\nuntil the release of philadelphia ( see annotation ) in 1994 , longtime companion was the only feature - length film to deal explicitly with aids . and although the representation of people affected is undeniably narrow , the film is uncompromising in its honest depiction of the effects of aids and in its balanced portrayal of gay relationships , albeit white gay relationships . moreover , the insularity and privilege of the characters effectively dramatizes the very human incredulity that the horror of something like aids can happen to anyone and everyone .\nchris paynter is the author of eight novels ,

each case , has the disease ; the effect , though chastening , has been similar to that of watching any other movie about a terminal illness . in longtime companion , more characters end up succumbing than we\u2019re geared to expect . and so the film \u2014 in its very structure \u2014 mirrors the ravaging toll aids has taken on the gay community .\ni remember reading the description of survived by her longtime companion by chris paynter when it came out and thinking it sounded too sombre for the kind of story i was in the mood for , but ever since i\u2019ve kept hearing how much people have loved this novel . so when it came up as the book of the month on the facebook lesficreader group , i thought i would take a look at it , and i\u2019m extremely glad that i did . the rekindling of the relationship between the younger protagonists , although harrowing a\nfor a while , i felt myself quietly protesting the design , thinking , \u201dwait a minute \u2014 you\u2019re not going to tell me this guy gets it , too . \u201d then i realized that was the whole point . there\u2019s a raw audacity to this film\u2019s approach : it means to wake us up , and does . while undeniably a message movie , longtime companion is pleading not just for the better treatment of people with aids ( though that\u2019s implicit ) but for a more humane understanding of what gays are going through .\nlongtime companion chronicles the first decade of the aids epidemic , with the movie split into sections by year and date . in 1981 will ( campbell scott ) and his partner john ( dermot mulroney ) spend time with another gay couple , one of whom , sean , is a screenwriter for a popular soap opera . meanwhile , howard ( patrick cassidy ) is preparing to audition for a role in sean\u2019s show . that morning , the new york times publishes the first article about a \u201cgay cancer\u201d , and howard lands the role .\nthen the plague strikes . reports of the disease escalate , and before we\u2019re quite prepared , one character is struck down , and then another , and another still . set over a period of several years , longtime companion presents the onslaught of aids as a series of increasingly ominous rituals , from the anxious reading of newspaper reports to the funerals that come to seem more and more inevitable . the film gives us an intimate view of those who are stricken and those who can do little but stand by and watch them deteriorate .\nthen , on the morning of nov . 1 , 2014 , funeral home workers arrived with a hearse and , according to a lawsuit filed march 22 , removed his casket from its tomb and hauled it to louisiana . the woman who had planned to one day join him in that now - vacant mausoleum , o ' quinn ' s longtime companion and self - described common - law wife , darla lexington , is seeking unspecified damages from the funeral home and to have his body shipped back from a cemetery in pollock , louisiana .\ncreator , writer and host of minnesota public radio ' s weekly variety program , a prairie home companion ; host of the writer ' s almanac , a five - minute radio program about literature broadcast daily on stations throughout the nation ; author of several bestselling books .\none of the first films to offer a thoughtful treatment of the aids epidemic and its effects on the gay community , longtime companion was directed by norman rene , who would die of aids himself in 1996 . the ensemble drama is told through a series of vignettes that begins with the first new york times report on the mysterious\ncancer\nthat had resulted in the deaths of a growing number of homosexual men and ends eight years later , after the disease has thoroughly and devastatingly affected the movie ' s close - knit core group of characters .\nfunny , touching and vital , longtime companion is the best american movie so far this year . it is also , astonishingly , the first major feature to detail the gay community\u2019s battle against the aids epidemic . the disease has been killing homosexual men for a decade now \u2014 50 , 500 at last count . artistic responses have been varied , ranging from the decorous tv drama an early frost ( 1985 ) to larry kramer\u2019s angry off - broadway play the normal heart ( 1987 ) . but hollywood , ever fearful of risk , has kept silent .\nlongtime companion had as difficult a time finding a distributor as it did getting financing . law , for one , had expected that since the film was already getting good responses at early screenings , finding a distribution company would be relatively easy . but while there were a lot of compliments , there was no contract . \u201cthey all said , \u2018i know you\u2019ll find a distributor . it\u2019s a really good film \u2014 it just doesn\u2019t seem like a good fit here , \u2019\u201d he says . \u201ci don\u2019t think they were necessarily euphemisms , but maybe they were . \u201d\nlongtime companion had as difficult a time

production at the samuel goldwyn company . rothman had worked with law as an entertainment lawyer in new york . so when he heard about longtime companion , he \u201dpaid attention because i know lindsay has good taste . \u201d rothman screened the movie at his office . \u201dyou never get a picture where there is a unanimity of opinion , \u201d he says . \u201dbut this was an exception . every person in the company felt strongly that this was a good movie . \u201d the crucial question remained : \u201dbut could we sell it ? \u201d\nperhaps the most amazing fact about\nlongtime companion\nis how recently it was released . as early as 1981 , reports of a mysterious epidemic among gays was making headlines , but it took nearly 10 years for a major movie on the subject to hit theaters . even then , it started out as a pbs\namerican playhouse\nproduction , and , after being released to movie houses , had trouble finding venues . many theater owners balked , perhaps worried that the film had limited commercial appeal ; or , they may simply have been uneasy about the topic .\nshe is predeceased by her former husband oliver w . ( bill ) ( 1982 ) , her sister sylvia and her brothers charlie and gerald . she is survived by her three daughters , catherine e . swiger and her husband eugene , roseanne ( molly ) clancy and her longtime companion jerry lessard ( molly changed her name to \u2018clancy\u2019 in honor of her mother and her irish heritage ) , elizabeth ( bette ) j . milliken and her husband charles . also surviving her are five grandchildren , katie , jonathan , laurie , angela , matty , and many nieces and nephews .\nlongtime companion begins on july 3 , 1981 , the day that the new york times printed its first major story about a rare disease , kaposi\u2019s sarcoma , which was affecting gay men . the opening images of fire island\u2019s beaches and woods and brunches and discos convey an idyllic\nbefore aids\nworld - - a dream of beauty and immortality , a world of innocence and freedom . what follows , in a series of vignettes , is the devastating and far - reaching impact of the epidemic on the lives of seven gay men : all white , all attractive , all successful .\nlongtime companion has been justly criticized for the absence of safer sex information - - decreasing risk is equated with enacting monogamy - - and the sentimentality of its ending . however , the film deserves credit for attempting to bring an aids movie to a hopeful close . in keeping with the dominant tone of nostalgia , the film ends with an evocative return to the paradisiacal\nbefore aids\nworld in which the same fire island beach stretches before the surviving characters as not only a seascape of loss but also as a symbol of eternity in which the living and the dead will be reunited .\non the other hand , the notion that this film \u2014 much less a more honest portrayal of harvey milk \u2014 would somehow have won votes for gay marriage is laughable . the film , probably accurately , doesn\u2019t shy away from the promiscuity of the characters involved . men hop into bed together literally at first sight . indeed , one of milk\u2019s election promises noted in the film was his public announcement that he would no longer visit san francisco\u2019s famed bathhouses . hmmm . no longer seeking out anonymous sex with multiple partners even while living with a longtime companion ? what a concession to respectability .\nwelles acquired the film rights to williams ' book shortly after it was published in 1963 , and retained it for the next 22 years . three months after his death in october 1985 , his companion oja kodar sold those rights for $ 180 , 000 in a deal which nearly went sour .\nthen , on nov . 8 , in a city still rebuilding from days of violent riots ,\nangels in america : a gay fantasia on national themes\nopened at the mark taper forum . there had been successful plays and films that positively depicted gay lives \u2014\ntorch song trilogy ,\nla cage aux folles\n\u2014 and later the devastation of aids with\nthe normal heart\nand\nlongtime companion ,\nbut nothing like\nangels in america ,\nwhich put aids into such heaving , glorious context that it finally and irrevocably became part of the national narrative .\nlongtime companion\nbegins like a mystery . the story opens on the day in june 1981 when the new york times first published a report about a rare disease - - perhaps a cancer - - that had afflicted a number of gay men in the city . the movie then tells how 11 individuals , some friends , some lovers , react to the news report - - at first with disbelief and unconcern as they go about their lives in manhattan or in the perennial party atmosphere of upscale fire island . the film then revisits the same group of people one day each year , through 1989 .\nlongtime companion grossed $ 4 . 6 million and was considered a modest success for an indie movie . \u201cbruce was nominated for an oscar \u2014 nowadays little movies get nominated all the time , but back then , it really was kind of unusual , \u201d says wlodkowski . any first - time director would have been thrilled , but for norman ren\u00e9 , time was already running short . he and lucas would go on to work on the film adaptation of prelude to a kiss ( 1992 ) and a movie version of their play reckless ( 1995 ) . ren\u00e9 and his partner kevin mckenna would even live in italy for a time .\ni love this novel , am sure i ' ll read it many times . there are two love stories , separated by time , in the novel and the way chris paynter weaves the two stories together is amazing . the main story is about a hollywood star and her female lover . i grew up with hollywood stars , in films and my dreams , so it was fascinating to read about one , she felt so real ! the characters are so lovable , and the novel is beautifully written ! ! lately , i ' ve lost my faith in lesbian romance but\nsurvived by her longtime companion\nmay just have restored it !\nunless i ' ve missed a random nomination somewhere - - and you may correct me gently in the comments if i have - - it occurs to me that dallas buyers club is the seventh non - documentary motion picture with a prominent hiv / aids story to receive oscar nominations . ( there have been more films with supporting characters who were living with hiv , but these are the major films that are more focused on it * ) . oscar ' s history with this feature topic stretches back 23 years through one best picture nominee , a pre - mcconaughey best actor , two foreign films , and 1990 ' s longtime companion after the jump\nbesides her husband and her mother , survivors include a daughter , olivia ruth brophy - forst ;

' in case of ' chatrak ' , the film wasn ' t screened at any festival at nandan . here , it was screened at nandan itself . this is just not done . i am utterly disappointed . it ' s shocking to see the moral police of kolkata kill an indie film this way . kolkata is going backwards , ' he concluded .\nicelandic actor t ' mas lemarquis , who had played a soldier in ' chatrak ' , is playing a mutant called caliban in the film . in the film , caliban has the ability to track mutants . he can sense other mutants and then track them down . an excited vimukthi said , ' t ' mas is an excellent actor . we had a great time together in kolkata . he had become close friends of bappaditya ( bandopadhyay ) and paoli . i remember , paoli and\nand where does sex figure in the new cinematic milieu ? paoli for one has earned a reputation for doing \u2018daring\u2019 roles . in vimukti jayasundara\u2019s chatrak , her lovemaking scene created a huge stir . but paoli indicates that the sexual angles are overplayed and that critics should look at her role as ela in elar char adhyay . \u201cela is perhaps the boldest role i\u2019ve played . she is a true rebel who defies institution . boldness is in the mind , \u201d says paoli , whose upcoming projects include debarati gupta\u2019s hoi choi and ritabrata bhattacharya\u2019s basanta utsab .\ndirected by sri lankan filmmaker vimukthi jayasundara , chatrak has been a critical success in the international festival circuit , including at cannes in may where it was screened to packed audiences . dam plays a lower middle - class woman whose husband stays abroad . her character gets involved in a relationship with a younger man , played by anubrata basu . but the film ' s talking point at puja pandals in kolkata is not its cinematic excellence . dam ' s sex scene with her co - star has catapulted her from a soap star into an internet sensation .\nsri lankan scribe - helmer vimukthi jayasundara takes his pretty - pictures - meet - inscrutable - narrative approach to eastern india in \u201cchatrak , \u201d the director\u2019s first foray into bengali - language cinema . viewers familiar with jayasundara\u2019s m . o . will be able to piece together a coherent if extremely slow - burning story that involves an architect looking for his lost sibling , and some vague commentary on the kolkata building boom . but the uninitiated looking for depth beyond the pretty ( rather than mesmerizing ) pictures will probably want to peep behind the screen at the select few fests where this\u2019ll be playing .\nchatrak is about rahul ( sudeep mukherjee ) , a bengali architect working at construction sites in dubai . he returns to kolkata after an absence of several years . his girlfriend , paoli ( paoli dam ) , has been waiting for his return . rahul\u2019s seemingly successful life is overshadowed by the search for his brother ( sumeet thakur ) , who is said to be mad and living in the forest , where he sleeps in the trees and subsists on vegetation . a scene of the film with explicit frontal nudity and cunnilingus , featuring paoli dam and anubrata basu , was leaked on the internet in 2011 , causing uproar in india , especially in kolkata .\nadzhi ( 6 . 9 km ) ak - teri ( 11 . 6 km ) bashir ( 13 . 3 km ) bazar ( 4 . 7 km ) bol ' shevik ( 11 . 7 km ) boroshly ( 14 . 9 km ) chartma ( 0 km ) chatrak ( 0 km ) chatryak ( 10 . 2 km ) dzhuma ( 13 . 7 km ) esenmengli ( 5 . 4 km ) gaburdy ( 12 . 7 km ) gunesh ( 7 . 1 km ) halac ( 11 . 2 km ) imeni malenkova ( 17 . 6 km ) imeni voroshilova ( 19 . 5 km ) imeni zhdanova ( 5 . 7 km ) karadzha ( 16 . 5 km ) karkin ( 24 . 2 km ) kyzylkoshun ( 10 . 2 km )\ndoes the quintessential indian male in him get bothered that people are talking about paoli in a certain way after those scenes were leaked ? does it have any impact on the fact that he might harbour feelings of getting married to her someday ?\ni am not talking about marriage at all right now . in fact , that ' s not something either of us is thinking of . sure , i have feelings for paoli . but , as i said , i completely respect an actor ' s decision . when i decide to marry someone and if the person is from the film industry , i will never tell her not to do nude scenes should the film so demand . in case of\nchatrak\n, i am completely fine with paoli ' s nude act ,\nhe signs off .\nnot just his commitment to work , t ' mas had also saved his co - star sumit thakur ' s life while shooting for ' chatrak ' in bolpur . one scene from the movie had required both t ' mas and sumit to go full monty . while swimming nude , sumit had suddenly developed cold shoulder . t ' mas had spontaneously acted as sumit ' s saviour and rescued him ! ' i wish bappaditya was around today . he would have been so happy to hear this news about t ' mas ' casting in such an important film , ' the director said . the unpredictability of life is what makes it exciting and alarming in equal measure . while t ' mas ' journey from bolpur to hollywood wasn ' t anticipated then , neither did anyone have a nightmare that bappaditya too would quit the world of cinema so soon .\nbut how did he , being a sri lankan actor , end up casting t ' mas for a bengali movie that was shot in 2011 ? ' i was looking for an actor who could understand the art of cinema but also had mainstream experience in acting because he had to pay role of a foreign guard . so i was in touch with so many european and american actors . the casting process was long . bappa from kolkata gave me his opinion about the actor , ' vimukthi said . finally , t ' mas was cast in ' chatrak ' . ' at that time , he wasn ' t doing anything in holywood but had already done lot in european mainstream cinema . he was willing to do anything to come to india and make the film happen . he brought his military costume . his commitment to the film was amazing , ' the director said .\nforlorn characters living desolate lives serves as an excuse for a bleak study in nihilism . twitter\nsri lanka - born director vimukthi jayasundara ' s film is shot in dirty colors and dim enough lights that would make anyone depressed , in the movie or watching it .\na man with a \u201ccrack in his head\u201d lives in a forest , sleeping in trees and foraging for food . he encounters a french soldier \u2014 no explanation why a french soldier is guarding some supposed border near calcutta from illegal immigrants \u2014 and the two become buddies and frolic .\nmeanwhile , a calcutta architect returns home after a number of years participating in dubai\u2019s building boom to oversee the construction of a ghastly looking housing project on a former rice field . ( the forlorn buildings , in fact , look more like an old abandoned project the filmmakers used as a set . ) however , the architect is distracted by a long delayed search for a missing brother who is said to have gone crazy . so much so he scarcely has time for the beautiful girlfriend who has loyally awaited his return .\nmelancholia seemingly afflicts all these characters if not a strain of insanity . jayasundara and cinematographer channa deshapriya also shoot in dirty colors and dim enough lights that would make anyone depressed , in the movie or watching it .\nthe film\u2019s abstract naturalism does create an austere portrait of a crass and careless human society but any larger meaning gets lost amid the film\u2019s many non -

[ 7 ]\nthe year after bonanza was canceled , landon went on to star in the pilot of what would become another successful television series , little house on the prairie , again for nbc . the show was taken from a 1935 book that was published by laura ingalls wilder , whose character in the show was played by then - unknown actress , melissa gilbert . in addition to gilbert , two other unknown actresses also starred on the show : melissa sue anderson who appeared as mary ingalls , the oldest daughter in the ingalls family , and karen grassle , as charles ' s wife , caroline ingalls . landon served as executive producer , writer , and director of little house , making him a driving force in hollywood . the show , a success in its first season , emphasized family values and relationships . little house became landon ' s second - longest running series . above all , the entire cast shared a close bond with landon , especially gilbert .\ndirk blocker , the son of dan , turns up in a cameo as a tenderfoot reporter . the strapping leckner actually bears a stronger resemblance to the elder blocker , however , and emerges as the pic\u2019s best , most underused asset .\nthe show centers on the cartwright family , who live in the area of virginia city , nevada , bordering lake tahoe . the series stars lorne greene , pernell roberts , dan blocker , michael landon , and later , david canary .\nthe publisher of this book allows a portion of the content to be copied and pasted into external tools and documents .\n, he played the first master of kunta kinte , john reynolds . greene was also popular as the spokesman for alpo beef chunks dog food commercials through - out the 1970s .\na community building at malibu ' s bluffs park was named the michael landon center following the actor ' s death .\nif i\u2019m at home during the afternoon i will watch the waltons , little house on the prairie and then bonanza . i think because those times represent something we are lacking today in this world . peaceful , simple days and family togetherness . i think down deep inside that\u2019s what we all yearn for and maybe that\u2019s why we watch . i will continue to watch as long as they are on . little house just started over again with them leaving their home and heading out for new opportunities . watched \u201ccountry girls\u201d last night . lol that nellie\u2026one in every bunch .\nthe \u201creal\u201d ponderosa ranch house was a hollywood set . a theme park in incline village near lake tahoe had a house , but it was never used for the series . the theme park is closed but the buildings are still there and maintained by the owner ; they are used occasionally for special events .\noriginally , the cartwrights tended to be depicted as put - off by outsiders . lorne greene objected to this , pointing out that as the area ' s largest timber and livestock producer , the family should be less clannish . the producers agreed with this observation and changed the cartwrights to be more amiable .\ndan blocker was 6 - foot - 4 , 320 - pounds [ 11 ] when chosen to play the gentle middle son eric , better known as hoss . the nickname was used as a nod to the character ' s ample girth , [ 12 ] an endearing term for\nbig and friendly\n, used by his swedish mother ( & uncle gunnar ) , [ 13 ] or a rib to his humiliating , failed attempt to break a horse .

reactive attachment disorder . rad arises from a child ' s failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers ( their mother ) in their first few years of life and can result from severe early experiences of neglect , abuse , abrupt separation from caregivers , frequent change of caregivers , or a lack of caregiver responsiveness . children with attachment disorders have difficulty connecting to others and managing their own emotions . this results in a lack of trust and self - worth , a fear of getting close to anyone , anger , and a need to be in control . a child with an attachment disorder feels unsafe and alone . they often struggle with physical contact and can act out in manipulative and violent behavior . this movie is based on true events about an adopted child with a disturbing , but authentic , personality disorder found in severely neglected and / or abused children , ( often foster children . ) the movie has some good information , but it is delivered through poor acting and disjointed storytelling . the movie wasn ' t able to spend enough time setting up the characters and storyline , and the acting was so bad it was hard to feel any empathy for any of the characters which made the film depressing and hard to watch . i honestly don ' t know if i can recommend this movie because i ' m sure there are better films or even better books that can portray this condition in a better light . and although the subject matter is interesting , on its own as a movie , it just was not that entertaining , in my humble opinion . . . so an average rating for a below average film from me .

risk way of digitizing older works , since as long as it makes the goal , even if no one but the backers was interested in buying it , they ' ll still have broken even . if not enough backers donate for a film , it indicates that there ' s not enough interest . of course such a system would require the studios to be willing to compete against their older films , and would actually be good for the public , so the odds of anything like this actually happening is probably zero to none .\npratt , george c . \u201cforty -

decision by the 9th circuit court of appeals in 1996 . the question at issue is the copyright status of a work only published in a foreign language outside of the united states and without a copyright notice . it had long been assumed that failure to comply with us formalities placed these works in the public domain in the us and , as such , were subject to copyright restoration under uraa ( see note 10 ) . the court in twin books , however , concluded\npublication without a copyright notice in a foreign country did not put the work in the public domain in the united states .\naccording to the court , these foreign publications were in effect\nunpublished\nin the us , and hence have the same copyright term as unpublished works . the decision has been harshly criticized in nimmer on

for the year 2004 how many people will buy a copy of the top grossing movie for that year this year ( shrek 2 ) . most of the sales have already occurred so if it want into the public domain this year dreamworks would probably not miss many sales . it is unlikely that there are enough sales to justify another pressing of the dvd . another point that is overlooked , most people want to buy a reputable copy of the work . so even a work in public domain reputable copies will still sell . a reputable copy is one made from the original masters for a film or recording or accurate reprinting of a book . often the original producers or publishers are in the best position to reissue reputable copies of an older work . along these lines , if one wants a good copy of the movie casablanca one is likely to buy a copy quite possibly made by the studio .\n\u2014\u2013 . why i made the ten commandments : an address by cecil b . demille at a luncheon at the plaza hotel just prior to the opening of

spoken or other sounds , but not including the sounds accompanying a motion picture or other audiovisual work .\ncopyright in a sound recording protects the particular series of sounds fixed in the recording against unauthorized reproduction , revision , and distribution . this copyright is distinct from copyright of the musical , literary , or dramatic work that may be recorded on the phonorecord . phonorecords may be records ( such as lps and 45s ) , audio tapes , cassettes , or disks . the notice should contain the following three elements appearing together on the phonorecord :\nthere are tons of content decaying , rotting in the studio vaults . not to mention rca , which used all its old 78rpm master discs as hardcore in the foundations of a new building in the 1960s .\nthe bbc tried to make a compilation of all the shows . . missing over 1 / 2 of them to time and destruction of tapes . they searched the world for copies . . actually the bbc wasn ' t being particularly careless here . at no time did anyone knowingly wipe a tape that they believed to be the only copy . the problem was that there were two subsections of the bbc involved and each one thought that the other one was keeping the reference copy . actually this is worse because it points out that even when rightsholders are trying to keep things they are still likely to fail . and btw

they hadn ' t entered the public domain , certainly there would not be enough demand for them to drive the restoration efforts . failure to even mention the vast loss of orphan works pushes this article beyond simple\nignorance\n.\nthis is one of the last feature films produced or released by louis b . mayer\u2019s metro pictures corporation before he helped to establish mgm in 1924 .

going is part of the universe of cultural consumption among middle and upper - middle class youth , but is far from a common outing . these young people generally go to the movies two or three times a year to see a movie they are especially interested in or because their family or a group of friends has decided to go . several of the young people i interviewed noted that they go to the movies less and less , partly because of the ticket cost and other associated costs ( transport , food and beverage ) . however , the top reason for not going to the movies was that they could stay in to watch the films on high quality home entertainment systems while enjoying all the comforts associated with the home .\nrather different , then , from our own . the real sticks , the reception of this film seems to suggest , may lie a little further north than the pas de calais .\nthroughout the course of the film we see lucie suffer gruesome hallucinations and self -

d and special effects , in a phenomenon that has been dubbed \u201cnew spectacle cinema\u201d because it appeals to the senses .\nmovie - going is one of the cultural practices that has changed the most in the past decades due to technological innovations and to theater owners\u2019 strategies to preserve profit margins in a complex scenario . a brief historic overview will reveal how moviegoer practices have changed : moviegoers returned to theaters after abandoning them for a time , but they incorporated new ways of approaching film texts in the interim . on more than one occasion , movie theaters have seemed in danger of extinction , but they have flexibly adapted to come up with new appealing ways of watching film collectively . these reinventions of the film experience occurred , as we will see , in a close collaboration with hollywood\u2019s major studios .\neight years ago , the horror community was electrified \u2013 a term that implies both a shock and an excited , skin - prickling awakening \u2013 by the release of a resolutely bleak french - language film named martyrs . directed by the hitherto obscure pascal laugier and starring unknown actresses morjana alaoui and myl\u00e8ne jampano\u00ef , the film , a low - budget french - canadian production made for just under three million euros , quickly began to assert its place in horror movie history .\nwent to see this on my birthday . not really sure what it was trying to say but i think it managed to convey why the swiss film industry operates as the european powerhouse that it does . baffling , if not memorable .\nwe invite you to make a difference at dfs by becoming a member and directly supporting our efforts to cultivate community and transform lives through film . no matter what level you choose to support dfs , your contributions will be enormously appreciated !\nin keeping with a broader trend , as we mentioned earlier , young people rarely go to the movies , with a few exceptions . however , it is also true and increasingly more evident that they see plenty of films , though their viewing practices vary along with the places , screens and ways they watch . it is time for film studies to give this phenomenon the attention it deserves in order to incorporate unofficial types of film circulation and consumption to the research agenda .\nninety -

a myth of national origin that is disturbing , thrilling , heartbreaking , hilarious and touching . at its centre are two forbidden love stories : one a romance between the english lady sarah and the drover ; and the other , which carries the film and all its historical and social subtext , is the love of lady sarah for the mixed - race boy , nullah .\nin argentina , it has been a decade since regulations on film exhibition were implemented ( 2004 - 2014 ) . the aim of the screen quota and film attendance minimum was to protect argentine films , ensuring their theatrical release at local theaters and keeping them in theaters as long as certain requirements were met 1 . in keeping with these policies , a certain number of argentine films are released in theaters each month and if weekly viewership remains at a given level , the theater is required to continue showing the film the following week . with these regulations , incaa sought to increase the exhibition venues for argentine films and reduce the prevalence of foreign films showing at commercial venues . fundamentally , the aim was to place certain limits on the alliances between the hollywood majors and large multiplexes .\nthe film , which cost $ 3 million to make , became the highest - grossing motion picture of l968 . it earned $ 35 million in its first six months , after playing in only 350 theaters around the country . the new yorker devoted 26 pages of its july 27 , 1968 , issue to jacob brackman\u2019s critical dissection of the film , in which he called it \u201cthe biggest success in the history of movies . \u201d despite such high praise , though , nichols felt that a lot of the reviews missed the mark , describing it as a film about the generation gap . \u201cat that particular moment , \u2018the generation gap\u2019 was everything . it never even entered our minds ! the generation gap ? was it worse than romeo and juliet ? what\u2019re they talking about ? \u201d\n\u201cmike is ruthless when it comes to artistic decisions , \u201d buck henry says . \u201cthe play\u2019s the thing . he will shut a film down , he\u2019ll throw a film away , he\u2019ll fire someone , he\u2019ll do some really mean stuff in the editing . \u201d but it was a good move for everyone , buck henry felt , \u201cbecause gene went immediately on to bonnie and clyde and worked for mike in other films , \u201d during a 40 -

office . in the past , yesteryear actresses vijaya nirmala ( kavitha - 1973 ) and sheela ( yakshaganam - 1976 ) and recently revathy varma ( mad dad \u2013 2012 ) tried their luck with directing films , but failed to create an impact . trade sources say that menon\u2019s film has been able to attract the youth as well as family audiences , which is rare for a malayalam film .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . if you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with it .\nthe film , which released last friday ( 30 may ) in 98 screens in kerala and 105 screens across the rest of india ( mainly metro cities like mumbai , chennai , bangalore ) , has earned nearly rs 10 crore at the all india box -

discovery , wherein often the premise of the physical journey undertaken by its protagonists serves as an excuse for them to overcome their demons and rediscover themselves in the process . but given the fact that we , the indian audiences are suckers for emotional manipulation and shallow melodrama , such films often resort to same and end up being preachy too . happy journey thankfully avoids resorting to such clich\u00e9s or melodrama , though it occasionally resorts to some of it .\nmenon , born and educated in kozhikode , had moved to dubai and is now settled in mumbai . she started her career in 1997 with television and worked on various documentaries . her first film as a writer and director \u2014 manjadikuru ( 2008 ) , the story of a 10 - year - old boy who returns to his village to attend the funeral of his grandfather \u2014 won her critical acclaim and awards . later , she was part of the anthology film kerala cafe ( 2009 ) . she also directed the short film happy journey which got her recognition as a story teller . but it was with ustad hotel ( 2012 ) that she proved that she had the potential to make a commercial entertainer . she won the prestigious national award for \u2018best screenplay\u2019 in 2012 for the film .\nprasad and sreeja enter wedlock and move to a new place to continue the rest of their lives . unfortunate events begin to take place after prasad , a small -

the stories , songs , and stars - without spoilers .\nso have i lost it ? why am i getting nostalgic instead of sharing my thoughts on a film ? don\u2019t worry but if you end up watching alphonse putharen \u2019s premam , there is no way that you can escape going back to your days in school , college and even beyond , most importantly remembering the various occasions when you probably were in \u2018love\u2019 in some form or the other . with his debut film neram ( based on his own short film of the same name ) alphonse putharen had created quite a stir by making a fun entertainer which worked equally well both in malayalam and tamil . so when his second film premam was announced with nivin pauly in the lead once again automatically the expectations were bound to be reasonably high . nothing much was revealed about the film as such during the making . and later from the promos and songs that were unveiled we could only gather that it could be a fun film and that nivin was playing the part of a teenager , nothing more than that . considering that even in a film like 1983 nivin had easily pulled off a role which saw him age gradually from 15 to 40 so wonderfully , this seemed to be quite in his zone indeed .\nraindance has been delivering film training since 1992 . a wide range of open classes to a 2 year hnd level 5 btec in moving images to a postgraduate film degree are delivered to students on five continents , both in person and online .\nshe spent two years serving as the ceo of jtpac kochi , and designed shows involving many celebrities . during her tenure there , she coordinated the biggest show for kochi city police called \u201caspirations\u201d in addition to the \u201ckochi music festival\u201d . she also directed the 1 billion rising \u2013 a fight on atrocities against women and included participation from malayalam playback singers and other personalities from bollywood and cricket .\n, although she remembers him fondly and misses his presence . often putting his family first and not being able to fulfil his personal desires has also made niranjan cynical and bitter . several years later , niranjan and janaki meet under some unusual circumstances giving them a chance to rediscover their relationship . they decide to embark on a roadtrip with the intent to mend their relationship and have an adventure of their own . what happens along the journey forms the crux of the film .\non his 50th birthday , we wish the musical magician a very happy birthday and hope to hear more of his soulful music for many many years to come ! here\u2019s a lovely interview of rahman from 1992 , from the hugely popular dd series surabhi , which aired before he won his first national award for mani ratnam\u2019s roja .\nthe deeply ironic essay on the relevance of cinema in film festivals , while offering a scathing criticism of the carnivalisation of film festivals , the vested interests of selection committees and flawed state machinery , puts forward opinions in a rather uncivil and individualistic tone .\n\u2018basha\u2019 went on to become a huge blockbuster and gained cult status , making him a demigod to his fans and followers . his film \u2018muthu\u2019 was the first tamil film to be dubbed into japanese as \u2018muthu : the dancing maharajah\u2019 became very popular in japan .\non her casting coup of bringing together the hot and happening young guns of malayalam films , menon said ,\nall my actors were fabulous to work with as each of them knew their roles and there was terrific chemistry between them which showed on screen . i think i was able to package it well with the aid of a good technical team like music director gopi sundar and cameraman sameer thahir .\nthe honeymoon period continues for director omar lulu . his debut movie , happy wedding , for better or worse , is the sleeper hit of the season in mollywood . the no -

hiker was her first fast - moving film , a film noir about two fishing buddies who pick up a hitchhiker while on a trip to mexico . based on the true story of psychopathic murderer billy cook , the two men must survive a hostage situation where escape seems impossible . ( an incredible detail is that they are located in the desert , but are constantly confined to small spaces . ) arguably , hitch - hiker is lupino\u2019s best film , and the only true noir directed by a woman , with emotional sensitivity and class performances by the three protagonists .\nthere\u2019s a background story to this film that is particularly interesting : the creators gathered children from bombay and interviewed them about their lives , experiences , and the places they lived . these children weren\u2019t taught how to act , but how to behave naturally in front of a camera . the film chronicles their day - to - day life thus it needed to be as real as possible .\nthat brings us to the three ladies in the film , all of whom enter george\u2019s life at different periods in time . while anupama parmeshwaran is effective as the school going mary george who has all the boys in her neighbourhood vying for her attention , madonna sebastian ( a popular singer ) plays celina with a lot of grace and charm . and then there\u2019s sai pallavi who plays malar so effectively that you cannot but feel happy seeing george falling head over heels in love with her . an acclaimed dancer herself , alphonse putharen makes use of her talent , weaving it into the plot in a very natural manner . of the three it is malar who leaves the best impression , both on george and the audience , remarkable for her debut film . it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to see anupama , sai and madonna being in demand from hereon , kudos to alphonse putharen for providing them with a base .\nthe catholic church and the movie industry have a relationship that goes back almost 100 years , to the beginning of film itself . beginning with the legion of decency , the church has long played an impactful role in hollywood that continues to this day , with a priest serving as a member of the appeals board of the motion picture association of america . even the united states conference of catholic bishops has partnered with catholic news service to create the office for film and broadcasting , where movies are reviewed and rated according to their morality . but the church does not merely stand apart from film , casting judgment . the church is frequently the topic of film \u2013 for good and for ill . for this article , i decided to focus on films that portrayed the lives of saints .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nindian cinema has hardly depicted the character of a younger sister beyond the hackneyed and clich\u00e9d norms of our cinema , giving such characters little or no personality at all . rarely has indian cinema explored the brother sister bond as well as this film does . this is one of the foremost reasons why the film largely works . be it sharing the most intimate secrets or helping to pursue the woman you love . there is a refreshing honesty in the way the bond of the siblings has been depicted in the film . never before has the character of a sister depicted in such a way , especially in marathi movies . it is often said that your siblings are one of your best and the first friends you ever make in your life . the film also puts across this point rather subtly through its proceedings .\num , what ?

( the u . s . supreme court , however , has prohibited the court - martial of any civilians accompanying the armed forces in the field during peacetime . in addition , certain punitive articles of the ucmj , by their express terms , may only be used to punish members of the armed forces . )\nin its report on the los angeles police department in the aftermath of the march 1991 beating of rodney king , the christopher commission confirmed a long held suspicion : a small number of officers were involved in an extraordinarily high percentage of use - of - force incidents . ten percent of the officers accounted for 33 . 2 percent of all use - of - force incidents . the commission was able to identify 44 such officers who were not disciplined despite the fact that they were the subjects of numerous citizen complaints .\nyour community ' s principal aim here should be to get the police department to adopt and enforce a written policy governing the use of physical force . this policy should have two parts \u2014\npolice executive research forum ( perf ) 2300 m street , n . w . washington , d . c . 20037 tel : ( 202 ) 466 - 7820 professional association of police chiefs from the big cities in the united states . conducts research and management consulting . issues position papers and policy statements on important issues in policing .\nwhen war broke out between north and south korea , the united states once again found itself thrust into an international conflict thousands of miles from home . backed by china and the soviet union , north korea was on the brink of victory when america entered the fray and turned the tide . the war ultimately ended in a stalemate , but the u . s . reconfirmed its role as a global military power .\nthe fact that an accused is subject to trial by court - martial does not eliminate the possibility of trial by another jurisdiction , either in addition to or in lieu of court - martial . under the united states constitution , a person may not be tried for the same misconduct by both a court - martial and another federal court . such an act would violate the constitution\u0092s double jeopardy clause .\nfrench soldiers , assigned to task force wagram , fire a french ceasar in support of operation roundup , in al qa ' im , iraq , may 16 , 2018 . as a non - permanent force the coalition aims to enable the iraqi security forces to be self - sufficient . ( u . s . army photo by spc . zakia gray )\nas the 20th century came to a close , the u . s . cemented its role as the most advanced air force in the world with its display of air power during the liberation of kuwait , the activation of the gps system and the launching of the first unmanned aerial vehicle , which would once again change the way battles are fought from the skies .\nbreaking the\ncode of silence\nby making it a crime for a police officer to fail to report criminal wrongdoing by another officer . this provision would also protect a reporting officer from retaliation ;\nalternatively , since it isn ' t essential that officers be identified by name , demand that they be identified simply by a code number , which can focus public attention on the problem of excessive shooters .\nr . s . \u00a7 1999 provided that : \u201cwhereas the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people , indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness ; and whereas in the recognition of this principle this government has freely received emigrants from all nations , and invested them with the rights of citizenship ; and whereas it is claimed that such american citizens , with their descendants , are subjects of foreign states , owing allegiance to the governments thereof ; and whereas it is necessary to the maintenance of public peace that this claim of foreign allegiance should be promptly and finally disavowed : therefore any declaration , instruction , opinion , order , or decision of any officer of the united states which denies , restricts , impairs , or questions the right of expatriation , is declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the republic . \u201d\nit was a time of relative peace , but not idle times . the lessons learned during the global conflict of wwii propelled the u . s . to push the envelope of what was possible both technologically and organizationally , including the separation of the air force into its own branch of the military . in the process , the u . s . became a leading superpower .\nunited states soldiers are to always oppose the enemy in every way possible and only surrender when at the point of certain death . as prisoners of war it is their duty to try to escape and if escaped return to fight ; a parole would violate duty . during the american civil war paroles were common . the soldier could go home with the promise not to fight . but all too often it was a false promise and the soldiers would continue to fight in some capacity , some as state militia to defend from invasion . eventually the union stopped offering paroles because it only helped the confederate effort , only if the paroled soldier went back to contributing to the faltering economy of the confederate states .\narticle 15 , ucmj , and regulations . njp is permitted by article 15 , ucmj ( section 815 of title 10 , united states code ) and is governed by part v of the manual for courts - martial and by service regulations . prior to imposition of njp , a servicemember must first be notified by the commander of the nature of the misconduct of which he or she is accused , of the evidence supporting the accusation , and of the commander\u0092s intent to impose njp . the member may then be allowed to consult with a defense counsel to determine whether to consent to a njp proceeding , or to refuse njp and demand instead a trial by court - martial . the major difference among the services with regard to njp is that servicemembers attached to or embarked in a vessel may not refuse imposition of njp .\nafter unification of the armed services under the department of defense in 1947 , secretary forrestal , the first secretary of defense , decided that there should not be separate criminal law rules for the different branches of service . he desired a uniform code that would apply to all services . his efforts set the stage for a new uniform system of discipline .\nthe defense is given wide latitude in cross - examining witnesses . if the commander details an attorney to represent the united states , this government representative will normally conduct a direct examination of the government witnesses . this is followed by cross - examination by the defense and examination by the investigating officer upon completion of questioning by both counsel . likewise , if a defense witness is called , the defense counsel will normally conduct a direct examination followed by a government cross - examination . after redirect examination by the defense counsel , or completion of questioning by both counsel , the investigating officer may conduct additional examination . the exact procedures to be followed in the hearing are not specified in either the uniform code of military justice or the manual for court - martial . the investigating officer , however , will generally :\nconsiderable progress has been made in the area of police misconduct in the use of deadly force . although the rate of deadly force abuse is still intolerably high , national data reveal reductions in the number of persons shot and killed by the police since the mid - 1970s \u2014 as much as 35 - to 40 percent in our 50 largest cities . this has been accompanied by a significant reduction in the racial disparities among persons shot and killed : since the 1970s , from about six people of color to one white person , down to three people of color to one white .\nunited states court of appeals for the armed forces . five civilian judges , appointed by the president and confirmed by congress , comprise the court of appeals for the armed forces ( caaf ) and serve for a term of 15 years . caaf is responsible for overseeing the military justice system . in all but death penalty cases , which it reviews automatically , and cases certified by the judge advocate general , caaf chooses upon petitions for review which cases it will consider , similar to federal courts of appeal .\nthe 4th of july celebrates the birth of our nation , which was founded on the principles of liberty and freedom . on this # independenceday , we send thanks and wishes to our troops at home and overseas as they continue to protect our nation . u . s . army central | u . s . air forces central command | u . s . naval forces central command / u . s . 5th fleet | special purpose magtf -

323 . the first and still the most important study of the impact of restrictive shooting policies on police use of deadly force .\nunquestionably , a rigorously trained , professional police force is a desirable goal that should be pursued depending on local conditions . if citizens in your community feel that this is an important issue \u2014\nin tucson , arizona , a citizens ' police advisory committee was incorporated into the city ' s municipal code in july 1990 . composed of both civilian and police representatives , it has the authority to initiate investigations of controversial incidents or questionable policies , and other oversight functions .\nin the short term , the recruitment of more women and minority officers may not result in less police abuse . several social science studies suggest that minority and white officers do not differ greatly in their use of physical or deadly force , or in their arrest practices . ( female officers , on the other hand , are involved in citizen complaints at about half the rate of male officers , according to the new york city ccrb . ) still , in the long term , an integrated police force is a very important goal for these reasons \u2014\nin addition to the enumerated punitive articles of the uniform code of military justice , article 134 , ( 10 usc \u00a7 934 ) , makes punishable acts in three categories of offenses not specifically covered in any other article of the code . these are referred to as\nclauses 1 , 2 , and 3\nof article 134 . clause 1 offenses involve disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces . clause 2 offenses involve conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces . an act in violation of a local civil law or of a foreign law may be punished if it constitutes a disorder or neglect to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces or it is of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces .\nno person subject to the uniform code of military justice may interrogate , or request any statement from a person suspected of an offense without first informing him of the nature of the accusation , that he does not have to made a statement regarding the offense , and that any statement may be used against him as evidence in a trial by court - martial .\nwhile some types of influence are unlawful and prohibited by the uniform code of military justice ( ucmj ) , other types of influence are lawful , proper , and in certain circumstances a necessary part of leadership . the prohibition against uci does not mean that a commander may abdicate responsibility for correcting disciplinary problems . rather , the commander must vigilantly insure that the command action does not encroach upon the independence of the other participants in the military justice system .\nintegration will break down the isolation of police departments , as they reflect more and more the composition of the communities they serve . a representative police force will probably be less likely to behave like an alien , occupying army . the visible presence of officers of color in high - ranking command positions engenders public confidence in the ability of police department personnel to identify , on human terms , with community residents .\nsherman , lawrence w . and ellen g . gohn . citizens killed by big city police , 1970 -

1970s , police departments began developing restrictive internal policies on the use of deadly force . they adopted the\ndefense of life\nstandard : the use of deadly force only when the life of an officer or some other person is in danger . in 1985 , the supreme court finally upheld this standard in the case of tennessee v . garner ( see table ) . however , the majority of policies adopted by police departments go beyond the court ' s garner decision , prohibiting warning shots , shots to wound and other reckless actions . most important , these policies require officers to file written reports after each firearm discharge , and require that those reports be reviewed by higher - ranking officers .\nclause 3 offenses also involve offenses made applicable to the military through the federal assimilative crimes act . these are referred to as crimes and offenses of local application . the federal assimilative crimes act is congress\u0092 adoption of state criminal laws for areas of\nexclusive or concurrent\nfederal jurisdiction , in so far as the federal criminal law ( including the ucmj ) has not already prescribed an applicable offense for the misconduct committed . for example , if a person committed an act on an exclusive jurisdiction area of a military installation in the united states , and it was not an offense specifically defined by federal law ( including the ucmj ) , the military person committing the act could be punished by a court - marital . the additional requirements would be that the misconduct was not specified as an existing ucmj offense and that the offense was not a capital offense under the law of the state where the military installation was located .\ncommanders are given significant roles in the military justice system because discipline is essential to mission readiness . at the same time , there are extensive safeguards to protect against abuse of authority . in the opinion of many legal scholars , the ucmj has not only kept pace with innovations in civilian criminal jurisprudence , but has actually led the way , establishing more safeguards to protect the rights of those accused of criminal offenses . the ucmj and mcm are primarily kept current with the basic principles of american jurisprudence through two standing committees , the code committee and the joint service committee on military justice .\n( b ) the voluntary enlistment of any person who has the capacity to understand the significance of enlisting in the armed forces shall be valid for purposes of jurisdiction under subsection ( a ) and a change of status from civilian to member of the armed forces shall be effective upon the taking of the oath of enlistment .\nthe time is august 1988 ; the place , new york city . manhattan ' s lower east side is rocked by one of the most serious outbreaks of police violence in years . declaring a curfew , the police begin to eject homeless people and their supporters from tompkins square park . fifty - two people , most of them innocent bystanders , sustain serious injuries at the hands of the police in the ensuing violence . much of the violence is recorded on video . yet the officers who are guilty of misconduct go virtually unpunished ; only one receives more than a 30 - day suspension from the force .\nthe accused member is not entitled to be represented by a military attorney , but may hire a civilian lawyer at his own expense . [ in rare cases , military exigencies may preclude the reasonable availability of civilian counsel . ] as a matter of air force policy , all accused at summary courts - martial are afforded representation by military counsel .\n6 \u2014 strive to strengthen and ensure throughout the community the application of the principle of equal protection under the law for all persons .\nwith this information , you can evaluate the use of deadly force in your department . you can also evaluate the long - term trends in shootings . are shootings increasing or decreasing ? has there been a recent upsurge ? how does the department compare with other departments \u2014 are officers shooting at a significantly higher rate in your department than elsewhere ?\nin 1981 , the u . s . civil rights commission found a similar pattern in houston and recommended , as a remedy , that police departments establish\nearly warning systems\nto identify officers with high rates of citizen complaints . patterns in the use of physical force reveal a lot about the\nculture\nof a particular police department . clearly , a department whose officers repeatedly engage in physically coercive conduct needs reform . police officials often deny that their personnel are prone to using force inappropriately , so if your community believes it has a problem in this area citizens must be able to support their claims with existing data , or data they have gathered themselves .\na parole would generally be given while hostilities are ongoing , and would almost always require a promise not to continue fighting . that ' s incompatible with the obligations the service member has to serve in the armed forces and fight alongside them . it is expected , rather , that the service member will attempt to escape or help others to escape , and will continue to resist in any way reasonably possible while a pow . that doesn ' t mean mindlessly attacking heavily armed guards who will just easily kill them , but it does mean to do what they can .\nu . s . army gen joseph l . votel , commander , u . s . central command , meets with members of the french ministry of foreign and european affairs may 17 , 2018 . votel was in france to meet with senior leaders to discuss topics of mutual interest .

we will be here for a few more days soaking up the films , the people , and this beautiful town .\nit seems odd that a mountain lion would break into a second floor motel room , but the city of pasadena does warn that the wild predators frequent the city . the imagery in the neon demon is often times not so subtle but in your face . the image of the mountain lion tearing up the motel room is surreal , and i think this is one way that refn is setting up audiences for what is to come .\nultimately , it really doesn\u2019t matter whether the comedy in the film is intentional or accidental . wiseau always planned for the room to provoke a reaction and entertain , and it has certainly done both those things . and how many other independent filmmakers can claim to have entranced \u2014 and even influenced \u2014 such a roll call of comedic luminaries ? \u201danything that i\u2019ve seen that many times seeps into my subconscious , \u201d says david wain . \u201din the same way that steve martin or woody allen movies became part of my vocabulary , that\u2019s what happened with the room . i\u2019m laughing just thinking about it ! \u201d\nthe room opened at a handful of cinemas in l . a . on june 27 , 2003 . the director , who self - distributed the movie , offered a free soundtrack cd for ticket buyers , and promoted the film with a tv and print campaign that compared the room to the work of tennessee williams . wiseau rented a billboard on highland avenue , which featured a close - up of his glowering visage , and submitted the film to the academy awards , without success . cast member robyn paris recalls the film\u2019s premiere screening as \u201da big deal . tommy rode in a limousine . there was a spotlight set up . it was pretty packed . everyone in the theater was crying with laughter . \u201d not everyone found the film so amusing , however . variety critic scott foundas noted that it \u201dmay be something of a first : a movie that prompts most of its viewers to ask for their money back \u2014 before even 30 minutes have passed . \u201d foundas also called wiseau \u201da narcissist nonpareil whose movie makes vincent gallo\u2019s the brown bunny seem the apotheosis of cinematic self - restraint . \u201d\noh , what a room ! thank you so much for this series set inside burghley house , julie . i\u2019m enjoying it immensely , and you\u2019re making it swiftly move up the list of \u201cplaces to visit next . \u201d\nearly in the film , there ' s a striking image . we see a vast empty room , with rows of what look like abandoned lunchroom tables . then we see the room when it was enron ' s main trading floor , with countless computer monitors on the tables and hundreds of traders on the phones . two vast staircases sweep up from either side of the trading floor to the aeries of lay and skilling , whose palatial offices overlook the traders . they look like the stairway to heaven in that old david niven movie , but at the end they only led down , down , down .\na man gets violently drunk and is chained to the wall in a police station . his friend comes and bails him out . while the friend is making a telephone call , the man disappears from an empty city street in the middle of the night . the man regains consciousness in what looks like a shabby hotel room . a bed , a desk , a tv , a bathroom cubicle . there is a steel door with a slot near the floor for his food tray . occasionally a little tune plays , the room fills with gas , and when he regains consciousness the room has been cleaned , his clothes have been changed , and he has received a haircut .\nhenry ' s film is beautifully shot and extraordinarily well acted by williams , whose face alone says everything about the plight of working mothers who can no longer make ends meet .\ncentury , the global staging of a wedding last spring reminds us of the popular fascination that this particular royal dynasty continues to hold . the ensemble of the film : acting ,\nif the room is the citizen kane of bad movies , that makes tommy wiseau the orson welles of crap . wiseau \u2014 who speaks with a thick , schwarzeneggerian accent \u2014 directed , wrote , and produced the film . the muscled auteur also plays the cuckolded johnny , and , when not exposing his ivory rump in the film\u2019s sex scenes , gives a performance that\u2019s both heartfelt and berserk . in one scene , a vein - poppingly distraught wiseau howls the line , \u201dyou are tearing me apart , lisa !

set love triangle involving a banker named johnny , his friend mark , and johnny\u2019s fianc\u00e9e lisa , who is sleeping with both men . the film does seem to be beset with problems . various subplots are inadequately resolved or simply disappear altogether , including the throwaway revelation that lisa\u2019s mother is suffering from cancer . the film\u2019s many rooftop shots feature an unrealistic san francisco backdrop , thanks to some less -

enhancing , the joke may be on us -\nthe fact is that wiseau has succeeded where so many big - screen hopefuls have failed . he has made his mark . true , it may not be quite the one he intended . but he has proved , without a doubt , that there is a place \u2014 that there is room \u2014 in hollywood for tommy wiseau .\nchristopher orr is a senior editor and the principal film critic at the atlantic . he has written on movies for the new republic , la weekly , salon , and the new york sun , and has worked as an editor for numerous publications .\npart 33 : ( hotel , washington , late night ) the disheveled , exhausted lobbyists are gathered in their hotel room . seward enters with lincoln in tow . the men are stunned . bilbo even curses . lincoln discusses strategy with them and begins firing off a series of critical directives , especially regarding a pennsylvania democrat named alexander coffroth .\nthank you so much for this whole series of posts re the film and tv show locations \u2013 i\u2019m enjoying all the posts and appreciate your attention to detail . many details you\u2019ve pointed out are of elements i never noticed before even after countless viewings !\nthere are many different iterations of this wells text , from orson welles ' s radio play to the esoteric 1978 rock opera featuring members of the moody blues to spielberg ' s 9 / 11 -

written by michael cimino , who would later make the deer hunter , and steven bochco , who ' d later make , among other things , hill street blues . the director , douglas trumbull , is one of the most respected special - effects wizards out there , getting his start with short films for the 1964 world ' s fair and still working on projects such as tree of life . i mention all this so you ' ll keep your mind off the dreadful joan baez song that nearly ruins the entire film .\nthe film ' s plot twist was revealed when their discussion came to a close . when he returned to the scene of the rape , an ambulance had already arrived at the scene , and he sadly kissed her corpse on a stretcher . the film ' s ending gave greater meaning to everything that came before , including the sex scene . it was revealed that daisy had in fact died as a result of the incident ( choking to death on her own vomit ) -\ni was dead\n- and was later taken away in the ambulance .\nlate -

agency assistant who has seen the film more than 15 times . \u201dthe script is not the best . the acting is certainly not the best . the music is horrible . \u201d\neveryone has an agenda . that ' s what it seems like to collin , a man used to being in charge who , after going on the run , wakes up to find himself in a stark white room with seemingly no power over his surroundings . as collin struggles to understand his current predicament he is vexed by three entirely different beings : the hulking cal , who attempts to physically intimidate him by battering him into submission ; the confusing claudia , who batters his mind by talking in circles always keeping the truth just out of reach ; and the alluring clover , who tries to charm him into her way of thinking . collin is forced to trust one of them . if he chooses wrong , he may never get out of the room .\nhis secrecy has been key to the film\u2019s success . ( as wain puts it , \u201dpart of the fun is guessing : who is this guy ? where is he from ? why did he shoot on a greenscreen instead of going up on a roof ? \u201d ) his ed wood - like innocence and enthusiasm for moviemaking has helped as well : rudd declined to talk about the room for this article because he didn\u2019t want to \u201dmock somebody else\u2019s stuff . \u201d and lo truglio later got back in touch , concerned that he had been too harsh about wiseau . \u201dit is a guilty pleasure in every sense of the word , \u201d he says of the movie .\nmy viewing has prompted a deep dive into interviews and analysis of the film , and i thought i\u2019d share some of the insights into the neon demon ending , the symbology and metaphors both obvious and more hidden . i\u2019ll also attempt to answer some of your the neon demon questions .\npast the initial premise and some cool - for - its - day opening computer graphics , escape from new york is a film that ' s actually better in your memory than in reality\u2014though nothing can take away from the chandeliers fixed to the hood of isaac hayes ' s car .\nin the end , betrayal , greed , and violent murders were the results of their misguided scheme . harry was being followed throughout the entire film by a lawyer ' s agent hired by his wife sandy - she was secretly planning to divorce harry and was also having an affair .\nin the film ' s most notorious , explicit and controversial scene of unsimulated fellatio at the finale , bud and daisy were in a starkly - white hotel room - both lonely and needy individuals who were attempting to connect and speak to each other . after kissing and fondling of her naked breasts , as he stood before her at the side of the bed , he undid his belt buckle , released his pant ' s fly , and she took his male member into her mouth to begin the infamous ' blow - job ' scene - as he held himself . as she pleasured him in her mouth , they still engaged in a conversation about their love for each other .\nsunshine isn ' t just a dynamite science - fiction film ; it is a marvelous look at a group of desperate people coming together to face an impossible challenge . the score by john murphy and underworld is absolutely what i want to be playing when my body is liquefied by solar flares .\nyes , midnight - movie maniacs love rollerball because it has james caan killing people with a spiked glove in a psychotic roller derby . but beyond the popcorn spectacle , the movie is actually a well - thought - out ( and wonderfully shot ) dystopian film with great performances and fantastic interior spaces .\nthis is not a political documentary . it is a crime story . no matter what your politics ,\nenron : the smartest guys in the room\nwill make you mad . it tells the story of how enron rose to become the seventh largest corporation in america with what was essentially a ponzi scheme , and in its last days looted the retirement funds of its employees to buy a little more time .\nthe most shocking material in the film involves the fact that enron cynically and knowingly created the phony california energy crisis . there was never a shortage of power in california . using tape recordings of enron traders on the phone with california power plants , the film chillingly overhears them asking plant managers to\nget a little creative\nin shutting down plants for\nrepairs .\nbetween 30 percent and 50 percent of california ' s energy industry was shut down by enron a great deal of the time , and up to 76 percent at one point , as the company drove the price of electricity higher by nine times .\nearly in the film , jesse meets three women : jena malone who plays make - up artist ruby , and her two model friends gigi ( bella heathcote ) and sarah ( abbey lee ) . each of the women represent a different aspect of beauty . refn explains as much in an interview with slant :\nwhedon ' s futuristic wild west of space pirates and psychic ing\u221a\u00a9nues shows how an ostensibly benevolent government can transform into an evil empire . despite the will of the entire internet , there will never , ever be a sequel , even though orson scott card has called this the best science - fiction film ever .\nin commercial travel ,\nfinal destination\nis a quasi - industry term that refers to a passenger ' s ultimate intended location . for the franchise , it ' s an obvious metaphor for death ; the ultimate fate or\ndestination\nthat everyone has . the title carries this double - meaning specifically concerning the events of the first film . however , it may vaguely apply to the next 3 films in the way that the subsequent events are all possibly byproducts of a ripple - effect created by the survivors of flight 180 . the 5th film of course is the big exception as it takes place prior to the crash .\ntommy wiseau insists that he \u201dreally doesn\u2019t know\u201d how the film fared at the box office on its initial release . however , one industry source states that the combined gross from the two - week run at two theaters \u2014 the laemmle fallbrook and fairfax \u2014 was just $ 1 , 900 . michael rousselet , a young screenwriter who seems to be patient zero of the film\u2019s cult , says he first caught the movie at an \u201dabsolutely empty\u201d theater . \u201dit was like our own private mystery science theater , \u201d he says . \u201di was calling friends during the end and saying , \u2018you have to come to this movie . \u2019 we saw it four times in three days , and on the last day i had over 100 people there . \u201d soon , screenings of the room were thick with both laughter and cutlery . \u201dthe spoon thing probably started during the fourth screening with my friends , \u201d says rousselet . \u201di was like , why is there a spoon in the picture frame ? every time it came up , i\u2019d scream \u2018spoon ! \u2019 so we brought spoons . \u201d"]}

border collaboration , pairing the creme of pakistani and indian music fraternity , bollywood music director , prasad sashte and pakistan ' s celebrated singer shafqat amanat ali .\nbachaana is the first feature film of nasir khan as director . celebrating love and friendship , the movie is a romantic comedy that is full of action . the story is based on a cross cultural relationship and theme depicts how love transcends boundaries .\nbasically my partner rizwan and i always wanted to make a film and we were developing scripts . but the india - pakistani element we ' ve showcased in bachaana is very unique . who ' s the last person who would save you ( laughs ) .\none debutant film director , two actors known more for their intense character portrayals than comic timing , a shoe string budget and a shooting time of 30 days . doesn\u2019t really sound like the most lavish set of ingredients when your\u2019e planning to make a full on romantic comedy thriller set in mauritius now does it ? well think again , for the entire team of bachaana spearheaded by director nasir khan and producer rizwan saeed have successfully manged to defy reasoning and give us a visual treat that is bachaana using these very ingredients .\n' bachaana ' is a romantic comedy and has got nail - biting crises and heart - touching romance for the audience to stay gripped . topped with the scenic landscape and beautiful beaches of mauritius , the film delivers a larger - than - life cinematic entertainment .\none of bachaana\u2019s biggest strengths is that it doesn\u2019t degenerate into bollywood - style farce aimed at the lowest common denominator . there are no ridiculous characters added for \u2018comic effect\u2019 \u2013 the humour blends seamlessly into the action with the emphasis on verbal comedy rather than slapstick .\ni suppose small , uncomplicated stories are in at the moment . while they may not work for most motion pictures , the lack of too much detail , suit bachaana , the debut of director nasir khan , starring sanam saeed and mohib mirza , just fine .\nthe lead cast of bachaana are all television actors debuting on the big screen for the first time ( or at least this genre ) . i ' m sure you ' ve heard of the ' big screen presence ' , what are your thoughts on it ?\nthe films\u2019 title track , \u2018 bachaana\u2019 , has been composed by pakistani musician ali sher and features ace bollywood vocalist benny dayal and komal ghazanfar from pakistan . produced at ali sher studios , the lyrics have been penned by shakeel sohail with mastering by shadab rayeen .\nthe plot is somewhat predictable but that ' s secondary \u2013 bachaana is all about the chase . the film tells the story of an indian girl , alia , who finds herself on the run from drug dealers and vicky , the pakistani taxi driver who helps her .\npremiering in karachi after a good showing in uae and lahore , bachaana , a rom - com film that brings television and theatre darling sanam saeed to the big screen for the first time , alongside mohib mirza and adeel hashmi , lives up to expectations , mostly .\nit ' s always good news to hear of a new pakistani film in production , especially when it ' s to star beloved actors like sanam saeed and mohib mirza , but the upcoming film bachaana is doubly special for its potential to bring pakistan and india closer together .\nbachaana releases nationwide and beyond ( the middle east ) tomorrow . come out , support , and value the sweat and blood that goes into simply entertaining people ! we wish the whole team all the best and may the film generate some big numbers at the box office !\nthe fourth and final track features pakistan\u2019s first feature film soundtrack mashup . composed and produced by leading bollywood dj , kiran kamath , the mashup remixes bachaana\u2019s title track as sung by benny dayal and komal ghazanfar and \u2018 yaari\u2019 as sung by shafqat amanat ali and usman qureshi .\nalthough , he continues to tickle our funny bone in tv commercials , the actor has been missing from serials and films for some time now . it was good to see him make a comeback with bachaana , but it was quite surprising to see him in a negative role .\nthe trailer of sanam saeed and mohib mirza\u2019s bachaana was recently been unveiled in a star - studded event . while we all adored the chemistry of the duo in the trailer , people couldn ' t help noticing the script ' s striking similarity to salman khan\u2019s blockbuster bajrangi bhaijaan .\nkarachi : premiering in karachi after a good showing in uae and lahore , bachaana , a rom - com film that brings television and theatre darling sanam saeed to the big screen for the first time , alongside mohib mirza and adeel hashmi , lives up to expectations , mostly .\nshot across the beautiful island of mauritius , bachaana chronicles the adventures of a sweet and bubbly indian girl , aalia ( saeed ) . she undergoes a series of unfortunate events and is forced to place her faith in a man she hardly knows . that man , vicky , played by mohib\nset in mauritius , bachaana narrates the story of an indian girl aalia ( sanam saeed ) who meets a pakistani cab driver vicky ( mohib mirza ) under dreadful circumstances and from that point onward the entire film revolves around the journey of these two characters and how they escape the bad guys .\nthe pakistan - india angle has intrigued and created a lot of buzz for the film and i am positive that that cine goers will not be disappointed . things have been finalised ( with distributors ) and i am excited to see ' bachaana ' release in india ,\nhe added .\nthis is no longer a review . this is a rant . i was to review the sanam saeed , mohib mirza - starrer bachaana . i wish i could do that . after watching the film , the only thing i am left reviewing is the decision to stick around and be predictably underwhelmed by it .\nthe trailer that released 2 days ago looks promising , however , the most memorable part of the trailer was the last dialogue ,\nladki pakistani ho ya indian , ladki ladki hoti hai ( a girl is a girl whether she is indian or pakistani )\n. bachaana will release on february 26 , 2015 .\nbachaana \u2013 shot competently by asrad khan with a quick , workable , camera angles ( mostly medium and medium long shots ) \u2013 is quite fun . mr . mirza exhibits a dazzling , \u201cpakistani\u201d persona , and handles the comedy and action with deft elegance . ms . saeed\u2019s aalia isn\u2019t your typical indian girl from today ; in fact , with her innocence , gullibility and mannerism , she looks more pakistani than an indian . miner nitpickings aside , this is one \u201centertaining\u201d film . it definitely doesn\u2019t need \u201cbachaana\u201d from box - office competition ; it can do fine by itself . the audience can spot a good one from a mile away .\nthe movie , about a cross - border connection akin to bollywood blockbuster ' bajrangi bhaijaan ' , will release in pakistan on the same date .\nthe distributors in india have shown interest primarily because the film ' s trailer evoked social media discussions comparing ' bachaana ' with bollywood hit ' bajrangi bhaijaan ' ,\ndirector nasir khan told pti .\nthe pakistan - india angle has intrigued and created a lot of buzz for the film and i am positive that that cine goers will not be disappointed . things have been finalised ( with distributors ) and i am excited to see ' bachaana ' release in india ,\nhe added .\naward - winning actor mohib mirza is set to hit silver - screens across pakistan and india as \u2018vicky\u2019 in nasir khan\u2019s romantic thriller , bachaana in a brand new avatar . the character of vicky is a departure from the actor\u2019s previous work , having garnered significant acclaim for his comedic and action oriented roles in the past .\nthis upcoming film has been shot in mauritius and also stars mohib mirza who will be playing a pakistani taxi driver , vicky in the film . sanam shall be seen in the role of an indian girl named alia . bachaana follows the unlikely couple\u2019s adventures and how the two end up falling in love with each other .\nbachaana defies clich\u00e9d gender roles . alia is not a damsel - in - distress dependent on vicky to save her life . she marks her presence in every scene with equal , and at times more , action . she is smart , knows how to defend herself and is everything a modern -

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

dramatic way to resolve the problem . i don ' t see the chance of this drama getting higher rating than 2015 unless they decided to change the plot into less romance and more about school problem . school 2013 really set the judgment as a predecessor .\ni guess i ' ll pass this drama or i ' ll try to watch a few episodes . i drop school 2015 at episode 3 .\nallison reynolds ( ally sheedy ) never speaks to richard vernon ( paul gleason ) despite him being the authority in the film . the closest she ever did to communicating with vernon was squeaking and chuckling at him .\nemilio estevez ' s father , martin sheen , appeared in the film the dead zone . anthony michael hall later played the lead role on the television series , while ally sheedy and john kapelos made guest appearances .\ni just want to recommend , please cast jinyoung got7 , shin se hwui or jung da bin and kim hyun jin + song kang as supporting characters for drama\nschool 2017\nlater . perhaps the story of the school looks more fresh and interesting if the cast is young . thankyou !\njack is a recovering alcoholic and divorced father of two . when the allure of spending new year\u2019s eve reliving his glory days with old friends proves too tempting to resist , he heads upstate with his kids in tow , and they all must deal with the consequences .\nschool 2017 is no better than school 2015 . honestly , i stopped watching it after 50 . 10 minutes , i thought i could find the essence of an impressive story in this drama but it did not , the story is very boring . the cast and their acting skills are actually not bad , but the story is not interesting . if the theme of the school should be like the drama of the queen ' s of classroom .\nschool day . . .\nthe youtube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third -

'\nin france , a special day won a c\u00e9sar award for best foreign film , and was nominated for the golden palm at the 1977 cannes film festival . in many ways , then , this intentionally modest but deeply moving film is a high watermark for all involved ; for mastroianni in his deft portrayal of the tortured gabriele , loren for her entirely convincing turn as the drab housewife antonietta , and for scola as both director and co - scenarist . the brilliant ettore scola is to be credited for his feminist critique of women under fascism , his modern understated treatment of homosexuality , and his successful examination of fascist politics \u2013 through the lens of a seemingly simple , human story that turns into an allegorical tale of immense significance . a special day reminds us that the human spirit can prevail even under the most totalitarian regimes . it is a timely reminder that all fascism must be resisted with vigilance , sacrifice , and bravery .\nthanks to neuroscience we now know that edited films like m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s lead to similar changes in brain activity across audiences . edited films increase activity in areas of the brain responsible for vision , sound , language , emotion , facial recognition , and conscious thought . even eye movements match up when a group of people watch an edited film . unedited scenes of daily life don ' t have this effect \u2013 everyone\u2019s brain reacts differently . so the more tightly you edit your film , the greater influence you will have on someone ' s brain . that ' s probably why film edits have become quicker and faster throughout the 20th century .\nscore : a film music documentary going behind the scenes of how film scores are composed , this portrait of the craft features some of the most familiar \u201cmusic by\u201d credits in the business , including hans zimmer , john williams , danny elfman , quincy jones , rachel portman and thomas newman .\ni ' m going to move chronologically and start with the first science fiction film ever made \u2013 georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s ' s 1902 le voyage dans la lune ( a trip to the moon ) , a film that unravels how cinema works and highlights the elements of all successful science fiction movies .\nfrom darth vader to droids , stormtroopers to rebels : the countdown to the dec . 16 launch of rogue one : a star wars story has officially begun \u2013 and people is here to help ease the wait .\nwhat does it take to save a species ? toad people is a story about hope , community , and the struggle to save the western toad . this 75 -

putting moments of the film were the scenes with the cgi version of grand moff tarkin . the actor who originally played tarkin in the original films , peter cushing , passed away in 1994 . this would have been a good reason to either a ) not include tarkin in the film ( which would have been fine and easy ) or b ) find some other way to include him that wasn ' t so glaringly digital . while the special effects are remarkably good , tarkin still looks fake compared to the real humans around him , fake enough to make his inclusion puzzling .\npeople like watching movies where the hero wins , appreciate films that make us think , and feel enriched by stories that make us ask big questions . what makes the science fiction film genre so amazing is that it\u2019s capable of achieving all of these goals in one story . a trip to the moon wasn ' t just an enjoyable experience ; it made audiences reflect on the possibilities of spaceflight and dream of what would happen if we met an alien life form . you can connect the dots between this film and the apollo 11 moon landing .\nphotographed in suitably muted tones by the gifted pasqualino de santis , the film was both a commercial and critical success , and perhaps the highlight of scola\u2019s long career , winning the golden globe award for best foreign language film , nominated for academy awards for best actor in a leading role ( marcello mastroianni ) and best foreign language film , winning three nastro d\u2019argento awards for best actress , music and script , along with two david di donatello awards for best actress and best director .\nyou as a production will get log ins for all departments when using our system that works online & offline . you can sign people in and out , add additional fee ' s etc with just the touch of a button .\ntricking your eyes into seeing motion isn ' t enough to create a good film though . m\u00e9li\u00e8s pioneered film editing for the purpose of telling visual stories rather than just documenting reality . he wasn ' t the first to do so ( see alfred clark ' s the execution of mary , queen of scots ) , but his films popularized cinema in a way no other filmmaker had ever achieved up to this point in history because m\u00e9li\u00e8s created stories that could only be told in film .\nafter that , the opening credits proceed through a list of the most important contributors to the film , starting from the least important , ending with the most important .\ncamera obscura suffering from post -

garde project rather than for the film industry , with work credited to another . then again , in tribute to surrealist drawing or in mockery of the artist ' s self - image , he also appears upside -

ups , or buster keaton ' s bursting of the screen ' s\nfourth wall .\nfor dal\u00ed , film and painting alike simply freed up the imagination for rapid - fire images . he loved screen comedy\u2014chaplin , keaton , and the marx brothers . a historian would look at animal crackers and see its stage origins . dal\u00ed saw surrealism and a wider public for art .\nwhat then does film say about dal\u00ed ? on the one hand , the exhibition argues for his creative mark on the movies , although it must settle for a string of projects that barely got off the ground . could the artist have imagined the crowds lined up at the guggenheim for matthew barney video ? the rooms include ample paintings and drawings as sketches for film , at the risk of an often lifeless retrospective . as far as the influence of dal\u00ed and surrealism , however , case closed . hitchcock ' s shot of scissors cutting through an eye preceded hiring the painter , and his most terrifying debt to dal\u00ed comes as peck remembers his brother ' s death , only there the director worked alone .\nthe l . a . film festival provides proof that talented filmmakers with new voices are out there , they just need a platform , and that ' s what we ' re providing ,\nfestival director stephanie allain said in a statement .\none of the more satisfying aspects of this job is watching new directors blossom in the spotlight .\nhaber lives in the san fernando valley with a friend who helps her pay the rent , but she says a second extension of unemployment benefits has just run out . the savings she was going to use to buy a house is practically gone now , too , she adds . \u201ci have started to sell some of ( the ) jewelry and antiques my mother had left me , \u201d she says . \u201ci also am selling my horse equipment such as saddles ( and ) bridles . \u201d since nbc\u2019s \u201c chuck , \u201d on which she worked for 2\u00bd years , ceased production two years ago , work has been sporadic . \u201ci was lucky to find anything , \u201d she says . \u201ci don\u2019t remember it ever being like that . \u201d\n: \u2018we couldn\u2019t shoot by candlelight with the lenses and film stock available at the time , and stanley discovered a lens that had been developed for nasa satellites and could shoot in very low light . we had to customise an old mitchell to take it . but at that level , we had very little depth of field , which was a real pain \u2013 but even kubrick could not alter the laws of optics . \u2019\nnow in american honey she has created a long , often intriguing and humidly atmospheric film which sometimes dwindles into listlessness . it\u2019s a road movie in the un -

themed romance preaches forgiveness , it\u2019s a cruel fact that the film community seldom offers newcomers such magnanimous second chances .\noriginally conceived as a mostly spanish - language drama featuring serious themes tinged with supernatural elements , the film , previously titled daughter of god , now mostly concentrates on the story of a dogged , burnt - out police detective ( reeves , largely conveying the latter attribute ) in his search for the murderer of his corrupt partner . his investigation , complicated by his troubled interactions with his less than helpful boss ( christopher mcdonald ) and his partner ' s ex - wife ( mira sorvino ) , is interwoven with the story of a young hispanic woman experiencing surreal visions .\na thought - provoking political drama , the runner explores the allures of power and corruption . nicolas cage stars as a louisiana congressman who champions the recovery efforts after the 2010 bp oil spill , but he ' s soon brought down by a sex scandal and must struggle to rebuild his life . while it ' s an interesting character study , the plot ' s fairly mundane and predictable . also , the pacing is rather slow and doesn ' t really build any tension . yet despite the film ' s weaknesses , the runner provides an intriguing look at the nature of politics .\nhis most shocking scenario came first\u2014in collaboration with another spaniard and in his very first year in france\u2014and its most lasting image comes right at the start . un chien andalou opens with a vulnerable young woman and a knife slitting her eyeball from right to left . louis bu\u00f1uel ' s film , his first , runs only sixteen minutes , so one can see thick fluid ooze from her eye again and again . even on a third or fourth viewing , the scene has the impact of the unexpected . a hand firmly and abruptly subjects her to an almost unspeakable act . has it blinded her or set her vision free ?\nwhat else do you expect from a kid thrown into \u201cgladiator school , \u201d as spencer\u2019s character calls the prison sentence that brought out mo\u2019s violent streak ? when it comes to actual brawling , holbrook\u2019s freshly bulked - up screen presence ( which transforms him from skinny indie waif to someone capable of landing roles once ear - marked for the likes of garrett hedlund and the hemsworth brothers ) makes him a force to be reckoned with , and the film\u2019s ridiculous final stretch follows through on the idea that he\u2019s willing to become exactly the kind of monster society believes him to be in order to protect doris from the real predators lying in wait .\ndoris\u2019 panic in turn triggers a skirmish as mo tries to explain himself , and the next thing they know , two police officers are banging on the door in response to a domestic disturbance call . with that , lew springs the film\u2019s single weirdest scene , as doris \u2014 who clearly fears cops more than she does her potential abductor \u2014 opts to clamber into his oversized dog carrier and hide out there while the police search the apartment . but there\u2019s an important difference between a movie in which characters constantly find themselves holding their breath and one gripping enough to inspire the same behavior in audiences , and \u201cthe free world\u201d repeatedly falls short in the suspense department .\nthe modern has some stretchers , too , when it comes to film ' s influence on painting . it points to tricks with perspective , as if di chirico had not punned on converging lines as painting ' s vocabulary before him . it asks one to see shadows across a jagged cliff or shroud as a parable of the projectionist , as if specters like these did not lurk everywhere in dal\u00ed ' s art . yet his love of the popular medium was real , and so was his envy of the celebrity it produced . then , too , shadow presences of the camera obscura had begun to merge with echoes of the movie camera starting at least with marcel duchamp .\njodi cottongim has been a designer for over a decade and has worked for companies such as anne klein , motown records and , most notably , coach leatherwear . her recent costume design work includes the theatrical productions of\nondine\nand the\nthree ecstasies ,\nthe\nchandelair\nsoap opera , the independent film\nnot of the flesh ,\nand the fat boy slim video\njoker .\nshe has had the opportunity to work with such celebrities as steve harvey , j . c . chasez ( insync ) , queen latifah , and new artist elsie muiz . she is a graduate of the fashion institute of technology and is originally from seattle , washington .\na year before , ren\u00e9 magritte had called a painting the treachery of images . dal\u00ed already earns that title , if only this once , and already he is surprisingly conventional . while the movie does not exactly have a plot , the woman survives injury , cowers before one handsome man , and escapes at last with another . most of the images along the way have the comforting familiarity of a campy melodrama . for all its surrealism , even the opening scene has a humble setting in a staged room , with a tone more clinical than terrifying . one can watch it over and over , although a razor flying toward the screen in film today might be too visceral to bear even once .\ndr : at the acs [ american chemical society ] presentation of the film [ on 18 august 2009 ] , one of the issues that came up is the ethical responsibility that a scientist bears . someone said , \u201cwhy is this responsibility any different than a chef who makes food used to feed soldiers ? \u201d my answer lies in the difference between what a scientist does and what a chef does . a scientist\u2019s work changes the whole nature of the game\u2014the rules we have to live by . the fascinating thing about science and scientists is that they alter the nature of reality . what is possible changes . we see that every day in how we communicate and how we get resources . how can that not have an ethical component ?\ndrawling like a character out of \u201cthe dukes of hazzard , \u201d this particular cop ( stephen l . grush ) demonstrates the film\u2019s simple - minded notion that the so - called \u201cgood guys\u201d are anything but , while murderers ( whether actual or falsely accused ) are all too often misunderstood . certainly , that could be said of both mo and the officer\u2019s wife , doris ( moss ) , who returns to the shelter a day or two later covered in blood . struggling with the decision of whether or not to get involved , mo ultimately decides to take her back to his place \u2014 a low -

driven art arise , the arts have to change , and artists , too , have to reflect the assumptions of the dominant culture . as david hickey puts this version , one can imagine jazz without jackson pollock or the artists in\nblues for smoke ,\nbut not the other way around . each of these narratives has some truth , even if classical performers improvised extensively before jazz existed\u2014and even if dal\u00ed posed more as an aristocrat than a moviegoer . the narratives elucidate the mess that goes by the name culture , even if they sometimes verge on truisms or lies . one can imagine jazz without abstract painting only because there was more of it , and one can hardly imagine a black musician of the time getting pollock ' s spread in life magazine .\na long -

feeling relationship between shahaji and his father - in - law jadhav that tore jijabai apart , having to choose her loyalty between her husband and her father . her father eventually left the kingdom to join forces with the mughals of delhi , against the nizamshahi and revenge against shahaji . jijabai remained with her husband at the fort of shivneri , devotedly standing by his side ; however , she was disappointed with the fact that both he and her father served under other rulers , while she longed for freedom under a kingdom founded by the marathas themselves . together they had eight children , of whom six were daughters and two were sons , shivaji being one of them . praying earnestly to the gods for a son who would become an independent ruler of the maratha clan , her prayer was answered and shivaji grew up to become the founder of the maratha empire .\njijabai was known to be an influential and determined woman who was an embodiment of self - respect and virtue . famed for her fore - sight , jijabai was herself an able warrior and administrator . she passed down her quality traits to the growing shivaji , and instilled within him a sense of duty , courage and fortitude to overcome any hardship arising . under her guidance and care , shivaji developed within him a human touch that saw him harbor a great respect for all women , religious tolerance , and justice , along with the love for his country , his religion and his quest for freedom of maharashtra . shivaji owes his greatness to the inspiration of his mother who dedicated her life to bringing up her son to become one of the greatest rulers of the maratha empire .\nafter jijabai became the queen regent , she moved to poona to manage her husband\u2019s jagir there , taking shivaji with her . in 1666 however , shivaji left for agra , leaving jijabai to manage the affairs of the state . since then , innumerable events in history went on by in jijabai\u2019s life , some good , some tragic and painful , yet she silently bore them . the death of her husband brought her great sorrow . her eldest son sambhaji being slain by afzal khan , whom shivaji later avenged with jijabai\u2019s blessings . however , shivaji\u2019s great conquests like his capture of the fort of thorangadh , his several gallant escapades with the mughals , along with the valiant achievements of heroes like thanaji , baji prabhu , suryaji , who were also inspired by her , brought a unique feeling to her heart as that of a proud mother . jijabai\u2019s dream was fulfilled when she witnessed the coronation of her son , shivaji , as he ascended the golden throne in 1674 , to become leader of the legendary marathas .\nshahaji bhosale . she supported shahaji in making a hindu state on the land which was formerly known as nizamshahi sultanate .\nshe died on 17 june 1674 , just after 12 days of shivaji\u2019s coronation . her samadhi has been built at village \u201cpachad\u201d near fort rajgad .\nthe flyover in bhosari is constructed by pcmc is a median constructed on dighi road besides barricading the dighi road and chandani chowk for streamlining the traffic . with rapid residential and industrial development in bhosari occurring on the outskirts of pimpri -

third of children in the developing world are underweight or stunted , and more than 30 percent of the developing world\u2019s population suffers from micronutrient deficiencies . moreover , new malnutrition problems are emerging : the epidemic of obesity and diet - related noncommunicable diseases is spreading to the developing world , and malnutrition is linked to the hiv / aids pandemic . repositioning nutrition as central to development : a strategy for large - scale action makes the case that development partners and developing countries must increase investment in nutrition programs . this case is based on evidence that the scale of the problem is very large and that nutrition interventions are essential for speeding poverty reduction , have high benefit - cost ratios , and can improve nutrition much faster than reliance on economic growth alone . moreover , improved nutrition can drive economic growth . the report proposes to the international development community and national governments a global strategy for accelerated action in nutrition .\ncounting on communication : the uganda nutrition and early childhood development project -

term consequences of impaired growth and psychological development . noting that the physiology of malnourished children is seriously abnormal , the manual gives particular attention to aspects of management - whether involving the interpretation of symptoms or the use of specific interventions - that differ considerably from standard procedures for well - nourished children . details range from the reasons why iv infusion easily causes overhydration and heart failure , through a list of treatments that have no value and should never be used , to the simple reminder that underarm temperature is not a reliable guide to body temperature in a malnourished child during rewarming . further practical guidance is provided in eight appendices , which use numerous tables , charts , sample recording forms , instructions for preparing feeds , and examples of easily constructed toys to help ensure that management is thorough , safe , and in line with the latest knowledge .\ncover [ pdf 45kb ] | english [ pdf 400kb ] | french [ pdf 1 . 42mb ] | spanish [ pdf 687kb ] | to order a hard copy\nfull course under preparation in arabic and dari . flyer available in different languages .\nenglish [ pdf 146kb ] | french [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | spanish [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | portuguese [ pdf 1 . 18mb ] | russian [ pdf 235kb ] | arabic [ pdf 186kb ]\nthis is a pocket -

sister to us - president barack obama .\nokpako had the idea for a film about her friend auma in the run - up to the 2008 election .\nokpako traveled with auma obama to many significant places in her life to trace her story . she had hoped to interview barack obama for the film , but was unable to arrange time with the president .\nit was a night auma obama remembers well .\nwe had a lot of people visiting to watch with us ,\nshe says .\nthere was a lot of excitement because it had been such a tough race . there was a sense of relief that all the hard work had paid off .\nwe meet auma in nairobi in 2008 , as she prepares to visit the village of her father , the first barack hussein obama , to watch election results with family members . the doc ' s most compelling storytelling has little to do with auma - - anecdotes about the elder barack and his stern , ambitious father paint a picture that is unhappy in terms of family dynamics but does suggest that sharp minds and driven natures run strong in the obama bloodline .\nauma obama , kezia obama , marsat osumba onyango , mama sarah obama , elke brenstein , gloria hagberg , paula schramm , lois wambui thuo , njeri karago , prof . wierlacher , jai gonzales , alfons l . ims , wanjiru kinyanjui and others\nwe were reading the newspapers and reading the statistics , but of course we didn ' t know what was going to happen . it was intense and full of anticipation .\nauma , who lives in nairobi , traveled with okpako to the family ' s homestead in the village of kogelo , where her grandmother lives and barack senior is buried .\nshe adds :\nall the family was there , the grandmother , all the cousins . once the result was known everybody in the village came into the compound to celebrate . there must have been hundreds of people there .\nwhen barack obama won the u . s . election four years ago , his kenyan half sister auma was with her family at their homestead , watching the historic occasion on television .\nnigeria - born filmmaker branwen okpako starts cold , offering viewers no hint that there ' s anything remarkable about auma obama beyond sharing a father with the leader of the free world . half the movie will elapse before we hear a single thing that makes the title character sound remarkable at all , and even then , auma ' s intellectual accomplishments are more listed than explored .\nin it , among other things , she contrasts her views about kenya with those of her brother during one of his visits to the african country several years before he became the first black american president .\nfollowing positions in england , she eventually returned to kenya , where she has been engaged with the humanitarian organization care for many years . in july 2010 she joined the jacobs foundation board of trustees , and is furthermore the initiator and chief executive of the sauti kuu foundation .\nthe bbc ' s leslie goffe spoke to the documentary ' s director , the welsh -

- despite interviewing mentors , colleagues , and auma herself - - okpako doesn ' t communicate the meat of her work . she tells us that auma studied linguistics , performed with a dance troupe , and works on social issues , but in an insubstantial way that ( along with the subject ' s tendency to move restlessly around the world ) might lead an unsympathetic viewer to decide auma is more flighty than serious .\ncookies make it easier for us to provide you with our services . with the usage of our services you permit us to use cookies .\nwe were two of four african women studying at the film school at the time and we talked a lot about how the african continent was portrayed in film and how we wanted to change it ,\nsays okpako .\nthe film is partly a fly -

clumsy at times . ending : i hope this isn\u2019t what really happened .\nthe film basically consists of two intertwined strands , the first dealing with lee su - yon\u2019s romance with an emerging japanese musician yuri , played by ex - high and mighty color lead singer , maakii , while the other is a larger analysis of japan\u2019s attitude towards koreans living in the country from a number of different viewpoints . certainly the film is at its strongest when it\u2019s dealing with the latter . from my own point of view as a westerner that doesn\u2019t know much about this very specific case of ethnic tension between koreans and japanese , the exposition is both eye - opening and commendable .\nthe romantic aspect of the story is adequate , but not brilliant . there\u2019s enough weight to the relationship that it makes sense , but there\u2019s simply not enough to the characters , particularly of su - yon , to leave an impression . the characterization of su - yon , the main character , is easily the achilles\u2019 heel of the movie . simply put , he\u2019s portrayed as bland , without interesting flaws or much personality , but with enough na\u00efve wisdom to have the perfect piece of advice for every troubled person he encounters ( which often challenges believability ) . yuri is fortunately much more interesting ; obstinate and principled ( she has one of the best scenes in the film when she throws a glass of water at an obnoxious record producer ) , she laments the breakup of her family and her strained relationship with her racist , besieged father , and the similarities she sees between the two of them .\nher father , played by takenaka naoto , is another noteworthy character , but his irrational attitude towards koreans is never fully explained outside of the ambiguous suggestion that it was borne out of a failed business deal . considering the primary contention of the film , that the racial tension is a warped consequence of a larger societal apathy ( the history between the two countries is mostly treated as secondary and not thoroughly explained , taken , i assume , as largely understood by the audience ) , they missed a great opportunity to really say something about this particular character in his unique position at the centre of both primary aspects of the movie , ie , the romance and the social commentary .\nthe korean policy of mandatory military service was briefly addressed , but nothing of consequence was said in this scene , which made me wonder why it was brought up at all . the movie also has some shocking pacing ( the entire first half could have been compressed into thirty minutes ) and gets quite heavy and clumsy with its drama . the final decisions some of the characters came to , particularly yuri and her father , struck me as rather insensitive . there\u2019s just enough worthwhile stuff in this film to make it watchable , and while i\u2019m not quite so cynical ( operative word being \u201cquite\u201d ) as to suggest that it was little more than a vehicle for maakii \u2019s career , i do think several things could have been handled far better , not least of which included its respect to the memory of the departed whose story its supposedly based on .\nin january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man jumped onto the rails in an attempt to get him out of the way before an oncoming train reached the station . sadly , they were unsuccessful and all three men were killed .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan\u2019s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nthe majority of the film revolves around su - hyun and yuri as their relationship grows from mutual curiosity to friendship and finally romance . su - hyun becomes an anchor for yuri , helping to get her music and family life in order , and providing her with the support and love she needs .\nas may be expected , the film goes out of its way to cast su - hyun in an idealized light . athletic , popular and good with the guitar , su - hyun is portrayed as an extremely well - adjusted young man with strong family values and a firm sense of morality ; there are several scenes in which he steps in to help someone in trouble .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun\u2019s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack .\nindeed , there is an implied criticism of japanese society in presenting su - hyun in such a heroic and stereotypical fashion . particularly in scenes that highlight japanese prejudice towards koreans , director junji hanado seems to accuse his country of losing touch with important moral and traditional values still upheld by fine korean men such as su - hyun .\ni definitely won\u2019t want to miss this if it\u2019s showing on our local cinemas .\nthe plot reminds me of virgin snow and taiyou no uta . i want to watch it .\nhello it is test . winrar provides the full rar and zip file support , can decompress cab , gzip , ace and other archive formats . rqnulpwigvclhpvtjntodvsqifajouthhsahello\ni already watch this i love the story he\u2019s such a hero and a role model in all of us and how he changes the impact in both korean\u2019s and japanese in their own issue\u2019s in the past .\nnice review . amazing story . good but sad movie . my review here : urltoken\nit\u2019s truly very complicated in this busy life to listen news on tv , so i simply use internet for that reason , and get the most up - to - date information .\n' bof ' jang ja yeon commits suicide . . . last phonecall ,\ni want to die\nhumilating seo taiji cf , young girl :\ni ' m a seo taiji fan . who are you uncle ?\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to control cookies , see here : cookie policy\njourney of military school graduate student soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) , who travels from korea to japan for further education . he meets yuri ( makii ) . as both share similar interests in music , they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nthe film is based on a true story , soo - hyun ( lee taesung ) travels from korea , studying in japan he meets yuri ( high and mighty color ' s lead singer , maakii ) . both share similar interests in music and sports as they become closer while dealing with language and racial barriers .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\n/ / urltoken\nby joon soh contributing writer in january 2001 , a south korean student named lee su - hyun was waiting for the subway in tokyo when a japanese man fell on the tracks . lee and another japanese man j , . . .\nnew actor lee tae - sung has seen his popularity growing in japan with the release of his movie there entitled\n, . . .\nactor lee tae - sung and singer hong kyung - min will hold a film concert in tokyo on ja , . . .\ncomment policy - stay on topic and do not spam . - post only in english , as this is an english language community . - do not request or mention illegal download / streaming services . - do not post sexist , racist , homophobic or other hateful and discriminatory content . - refrain from abusive language . - no graphic content allowed . - respect the right of other users to share their opinion . arguments are welcome , fights are not . comments which break the rules will be moderated or erased . repeated rule breaking will result in warnings followed by blacklisting upon non - compliance .\nsubscribe to hancinema pure to remove ads from the website ( not > for episode and movie videos ) for us $ 0 . 99 monthly or us $ 7 . 99 yearly ( you can cancel anytime ) . the first step is to be a member , please click here : sign up , then a subscribe button will show up .\nonce in tokyo , his love of rock music draws him to japan ' s thriving live music scene . while watching street performances , he meets and falls for yuri , an aspiring japanese singer with a powerful voice but a troubled family life . yuri ( played by j - pop singer maki onaga ) is in constant conflict with her divorced father , a bitter man who owns a small run - down rock club .\nin addition , the movie carefully establishes su - hyun ' s korean identity with scenes of korean - style family meals , ancestral rituals and traditional music performances . while perhaps providing a cultural context for japanese moviegoers , these idealized moments also serve to show su - hyun as being deeply rooted in tradition , a trait that his modernized japanese friends sorely lack ."]}

- if you were to ask me - - what my favorite shemp is , i might have a hard time picking this one or the much earlier scrambled brains . at any rate , blunder for me is easily the last stooge masterpiece & maybe the last one really worth talking about . so many great bits in this one - - the opening scene alone has a shitload of great lines , i . e . 3 fingers on the arm of the law & shemp being the hangnail . i also loved moe talking about the rear - guard action - - it ' s the only action we knew how to fight . the scenes in alma matter ' s office are definitely the best part , especially larry and shemp going gaga over angela stevens -

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

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

nevertheless shows a rare focus on idiomatically british themes and attitudes . jules dassin\u2019s night and the city ( a film that was a product of the same blacklisting ) shows a thorough disregard for the specifics of the british social scene ( and for the geography of london ) but obsession is ridden with details that blend noir tropes with the older british modes of detective fiction . when a gun is drawn in this film , it is not simply a quotidian prop as in the american thriller : here it is a statement of intent , the kind of object only a man seriously determined on murder would seek out .\nalthough obsession is not at all a political film \u2013 unless you count reactionary comments made by characters at riordan\u2019s gentlemens club ( which are surely meant as an amusing dig at old fashioned attitudes ) . nevertheless , there is something of the filmmaker\u2019s real life plight reflected in bill kronin\u2019s situation ; his freedom has been curtailed and his world turned

regarded as a failed experiment ,\nobsession ( aka : the hidden room ) is directed by edward dmytryk and adapted to screenplay by alec coppel from his own book and play . it stars robert newton , phil brown , sally gray and naunton wayne . music is by nino rota and cinematography by c . m . pennington - richards .\nobsession lacks the striking visual style of dmytryk\u2019s hollywood films of the postwar era , but i did notice that the night photography of london\u2019s dark , foggy streets was suitably atmospheric and similar to those in such hollywood film noirs as murder my sweet ( 1944 ) .

early 1940s .\nthe confluence of these public events and scholarly trends provided fertile ground for new research . the \u201chistorical turn , \u201d in the wake of poststructuralism and postmodernism , ushered researchers into dusty archives , uncovering long neglected materials , and making new connections . rather than simply being driven by an empirical ( or fetishist ) obsession

- and often is the person who uses his wit and instincts to help the men in their times of need .\nthis engaging film takes a german children ' s classic of the 1920s and updates it to today ' s multicultural berlin . the main characters appear to be between 8 and 12 years old , old enough to understand a lot about the world . . but not everything , which adds some humor to the plot about a gang of children trying to track down a thief who has stolen money from the title character , young emil . some of the children are immigrants , some are homeless , and one is the son of a woman pastor . they travel through the streets of berlin on skateboards , they rap about their adventures , and they are definitely not dutiful or respectful . i saw this movie at a film festival , and i think it would make a good family movie . unfortunately , young americans don ' t have much patience with subtitles , and it has never been released in the u . s . , nor , apparently , is it on dvd .\nafter the children ' s book\nemil und die detektive\nwas published in 1928 this first screen version was made in 1931 under the supervision of the author erich k\u00e4stner himself . the story seems simple : young emil gets to visit his granny in berlin and is given 140 marks by his mother for his grandma . on the train to berlin the 140 marks are stolen by a man with a stiff hat while emil sleeps . arriving in berlin he tries to follow the thief and receives help from a well organized and nice\ngang\nof berlin street\ndetectives\nin his age . a happy end seems possible . while the movie contains a very entertaining story itself , an even more interesting detail of this movie is in its backdrop : an authentic berlin of 1931 with open cabs , cars driving next to coaches , wide streets with lots of space for cyclists and so on . i always wondered when viewing older city maps what street life was like in the twenties of the last century when the streets were not as crowded as today , when the speed difference between pedestrians , cyclists , cars and coaches was still comparable in human measures . the camera work , special effects ( emils dream on the train ) and movie music are distinctly thirty -

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

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

( calloway ' s group had joined duke ellington and mills blue rhythm band as another of the jazz groups handled by irving mills . )\ncalloway quickly proved so popular that his band became the\nco - house\nband with ellington ' s , and his group began touring nationwide when not playing the cotton club . their popularity was greatly enhanced by the twice - weekly live national radio broadcasts on nbc from the cotton club . calloway also appeared on walter winchell ' s radio program and with bing crosby in his show at new york ' s paramount theatre . as a result of these appearances , calloway , together with ellington , broke the major broadcast network color barrier .\nlike other bands fronted by a singing bandleader , calloway initially gave ample soloist space to its lead members and , through the varied arrangements of walter\nfoots\nthomas , provided much more in the way of musical interest . many of his records were\nvocal specialties\nwith calloway ' s vocals taking up the majority of the record .\nin 1931 calloway recorded his most famous song ,\nminnie the moocher\n. that song , along with\nst . james infirmary blues\nand\nthe old man of the mountain\n, were performed for the betty boop animated shorts minnie the moocher ( 1932 ) , snow white ( 1933 ) , and the old man of the mountain ( 1933 ) , respectively . through rotoscoping , calloway performed voiceover for these cartoons , but his dance steps were the basis of the characters ' movements . he took advantage of this , timing concerts in some communities to coincide with the release of the films in order to make the most of the publicity .\ncalloway ' s was one of the most popular american jazz bands of the 1930s , recording prolifically for brunswick and the arc dime store labels ( banner , cameo , conqueror , perfect , melotone , banner , oriole , etc . ) from 1930 to 1932 , when he signed with rca victor for a year . he was back on brunswick in late 1934 through 1936 , when he signed with manager irving mills ' s short - lived variety in 1937 . he stayed with mills when the label collapsed during the great depression . their sessions were continued on vocalion through 1939 , and then okeh records through 1942 . after an afm recording ban due to the 1942 - 44 musicians ' strike ended , calloway continued to record prolifically .\ncalloway ' s vocal style is a blend of hot scat singing and improvisation , coupled with a very traditional vaudeville - like singing style . many of his ballads are devoid of tone - bending jazz styling .\nin 1941 calloway fired dizzy gillespie from his orchestra after an onstage fracas erupted when calloway was hit with spitballs . he wrongly accused gillespie , who stabbed calloway in the leg with a small knife . [ 13 ]\nin 1944 the new cab calloway ' s hepsters dictionary : language of jive was published , an update of an earlier book in which calloway set about translating jive for fans who might not know , for example , that\nkicking the gong around\nwas a reference to smoking opium .\nthe band also formed its own barnstorming baseball and basketball teams during the 1930s , starring calloway , milt hinton , chu berry , benny payne and dizzy gillespie . [ 15 ] [ 16 ]\nduring the late 1940s , calloway lived with his wife zulme\nnuffie\nand family in long beach on the south shore of long island , new york on the border with neighboring lido beach . in the 1950s , calloway moved his family to westchester county , new york , where he and nuffie raised their daughters chris , cecelia ( lael ) , and cabella calloway .\nin his later career , calloway appeared in a number of films and stage productions that used both his acting and singing talents . in 1952 , he played the prominent role of\nsportin ' life\nin a production of the gershwin opera , porgy and bess , with william warfield and leontyne price as the title characters . another notable role was\nyeller\nin the cincinnati kid ( 1965 ) , with steve mcqueen , ann - margret , and edward g . robinson .\nhis autobiography , of minnie the moocher and me ( crowell ) , was published in 1976 . it included his complete hepsters dictionary as an appendix .\ncalloway helped establish the cab calloway museum at coppin state college ( baltimore , maryland ) in the 1980s . comedian and actor bill cosby helped establish a scholarship in calloway ' s name at the new school for social research in manhattan .\nin 1985 , cab and his orchestra appeared at the ritz london hotel where he was filmed for a 60 - minute bbc tv show called the cotton club comes to the ritz ; adelaide hall , doc cheatham , max roach , and the nicholas brothers also appeared on the bill . [ 20 ] [ 21 ]\nin 1990 , he was the focus of janet jackson ' s 1930s - themed music video\nalright\n, and he made a cameo appearance playing himself . in the united kingdom , calloway appeared in several commercials for the hula hoops snack , both as himself and as a voice for a cartoon ( in one of these commercials he sang his hit\nminnie the moocher\n) . he also made an appearance at the apollo theatre .\ncab enjoyed his final years as a celebrated and well - loved member of a retirement community in northern delaware ( between , and short train rides from , his beloved baltimore and new york city ) . in 1994 , a creative and performing arts school , the cab calloway school of the arts , was dedicated in his name in wilmington , delaware .\non june 12 , 1994 , calloway suffered a severe stroke . he died five months later on november 18 , 1994 , at age 86 . his body was cremated and his ashes were given to his family . upon the death of his wife zulme\nnuffie\ncalloway on october 13 , 2008 , his ashes were interred next to her in the rosewood mausoleum at ferncliff cemetery in hartsdale , new york .\na profile of calloway , cab calloway : sketches , aired on the pbs program american masters in february 2012 .\nin 1998 , the cab calloway orchestra ( directed by calloway ' s grandson c .\ncb\ncalloway brooks ) [ 24 ] was formed to honor his legacy on the national and international levels .\ncalloway , cab and rollins , bryant -\nof minnie the moocher and me\n\u2014autobiography of cab calloway , with family recollections , family photos , photos of band members , and cab ' s\nhipster ' s dictionary .\npublished by ty crowell , new york city , 1976 .\nshipton , alyn . hi - de - ho : the life of cab calloway . oxford university press , 2010 .\nlincoln university of pennsylvania alumni directory 1995 . harris publishing co . 1995 , p . 142 .\ndilorenzo , kris ( april 1985 ) .\nthe arts . dance : michael jackson did not invent the moonwalk\n.\nshoot . . . we did that back in the 1930s ! only it was called the buzz back then .\nshipton , alyn . hi - de - ho : the life of cab calloway , oxford university press ( 2010 ) , p . 97 .\njolson and cab calloway in ' the singing kid '\n, a tribute to al jolson .\ncab calloway\narchived 2013 - 09 - 28 at the wayback machine . , jazz biographies .\n. new york : penguin group . pp . 210\u201311 . isbn 1 - 58542 - 396 - 3 .\nin her memoir she commented on other cast changes by david merrick to revive business for the show .\nthe cotton club remembered ( videotape )\n( retrieved 6 september 2014 ) .\njazz on the screen \u2014 a jazz and blues filmography by david meeker : omnibus series episode the cotton club comes to the ritz\n, library of congress ( retrieved 6 september 2014 ) .\nlifetime honors \u2014 national medal of arts archived august 26 , 2013 , at the wayback machine .\n. record research inc . pp . 72\u201373 . isbn 0 - 89820 - 083 - 0 .\nthis page was last modified 12 . 06 . 2018 05 : 14 : 39\nthis article uses material from the article cab calloway from the free encyclopedia wikipedia and it is licensed under the gnu free documentation license .\nhattie mcdaniel was born on june 10 , 1895 , in wichita , kansas , the youngest of thirteen children in a family of performers . her father , henry mcdaniel , was a baptist minister , carpenter , banjo player , and minstrel showman , eventually organizing his own family into a minstrel troupe . henry married a gospel singer named susan holbert in 1875 and moved their growing family to denver , colorado , in 1901 .\nhattie was one of only two black children in her elementary school class in denver . racial prejudice ( an unfair judgment based on race ) was less hostile in the west than elsewhere in the united states . for her talents as a singer and reciter of poetry , mcdaniel became something of a favorite at the 24th street elementary school , where mainly white students attended . mcdaniel sang at church , at school , and at home ; she sang so continuously that her mother reportedly bribed her into silence with spare change . before long she was also singing in professional minstrel shows , as well as dancing , performing humorous skits , and later writing her own songs .\nin 1910 hattie left school in her sophomore year at east denver high school and became a full - time minstrel performer , traveling the western states with her father ' s show and several other troupes . the minstrel shows were usually performed by black actors , but were also sometimes performed\nby whites in blackface . the shows presented a variety of entertainment that poked fun at black cultural life for the enjoyment of mostly white audiences .\nwhen hattie ' s father retired around 1920 , she joined professor george morrison ' s famous\nmelody hounds\non longer and more publicized tours . she also wrote dozens of show tunes such as\nsam henry blues ,\npoor wandering boy blues ,\nand\nquittin ' my man today .\na big break came for mcdaniel in 1934 , when she was cast in the fox production of judge priest . in this picture mcdaniel was given the opportunity to sing a duet with will rogers ( 1879\u20131935 ) , the well - known american humorist . her performance was well received by the press and her fellow actors alike .\nonce established in hollywood , mcdaniel found no shortage of work . in 1936 alone she appeared in twelve films . for the decade as a whole her performances numbered about forty\u2014nearly all of them in the role of maid or cook to a white household . mcdaniel won the role of\nmammy\nin gone with the wind over several rivals . her salary for gone with the wind was to be $ 450 a week , which was much more than what her real - life counterparts could hope to earn .\nthe mid - 1940s brought trying times for mcdaniel , who experienced a heart - wrenching false pregnancy in 1944 and soon after became the victim of racist - inspired legal problems . the actress found herself in a legal battle over a system in los angeles that limited the land and home ownership rights of african americans . having purchased a house in 1942 , mcdaniel faced the possibility of being thrown out of her home . she was one of several black entertainers who challenged the racist system in court , however , and won .\nstill , throughout the 1940s a growing number of activists viewed mcdaniel and all she represented as damaging to the budding fight for civil rights . naacp president walter white pressed both actors and studios to stop making films that tended to ridicule black people , and he singled out the roles of hattie mcdaniel as particularly offensive . in response mcdaniel defended her right to choose whichever roles she saw fit , adding that many of her screen roles had shown themselves to be more than equal to that of their white employers .\nby the late 1940s mcdaniel found herself in a difficult position . she found her screen opportunities disappearing even as she suffered insults from progressive blacks . after her third marriage ended in divorce in 1945 , she became increasingly depressed and confused as to her proper path .\nmcdaniel could still use her vocal talent on radio . in 1947 she won the starring role of\nbeulah\non the beulah show , a cbs radio show about a black maid and the white family for whom she worked . when hattie mcdaniel took over the role as beulah , she became the first black performer to star in a radio program intended for a general audience . the program was generally praised by the naacp and the urban league , along with the twenty million other americans who listened to it every evening at the height of its popularity in 1950 .\nmcdaniel ' s last marriage , to an interior decorator named larry williams , lasted only a few months . in 1951 she suffered a heart attack while filming the first few segments of a projected television version of the beulah show . by summer she was diagnosed with breast cancer . mcdaniel died in hollywood , california , on october 26 , 1952 . she will always be remembered as mammy of gone with the wind ."]}

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

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

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

istic red scare , and enough \u2018splosions and action to choke a walrus , this is easily one of the coolest movies of all time .\nin the scene with vulture ( aka adrian toomes ) , scorpion asks him for the true identity of the web slinger \u2013 as he wants revenge for spidey\u2019s involvement in his arrest .\nthe indian red is tiny\u2026it\u2019s no bigger than a cigarette lighter . but it possesses a potent elixir . and when it lives near people , it often takes shelter where they do .\nred scorpion is also being digitally restored by the same folks who did the indiana jones films , once upon a time in the west , the godfather trilogy , the alien films and , most recently , the all - new 4k 3d restoration on titantic . we are thrilled to be working with them on this , as well as many future releases for synapse films .\nthe story is a little different from other red scare films , because instead of america being invaded by commies or involved in some communist conflict , red scorpion focuses on the redemption of a soviet soldier when he comes face to face with the horrors of war . instead of the atypical american hero , here we have the \u201cenemy of america\u201d , in africa , and he decided to turn the tables on his controllers and snap back . it\u2019s unique and really a breath of fresh air in a fairly mundane genre . it also has a lot of shit blowing up .\neventually , nikolai begins to side with the locals , has a red scorpion tattooed on his chest by a shaman , and helps fight against the cubans and the soviets . horror fans should note tom savini ' s expert gore effects during a torture scene , while others will be pleased with a fine supporting cast including m . emmet walsh , carmen argenziano , and brion james .\nglickenhaus , who knew of crew and cast going unpaid , claimed that despite its poor box office receipts ,\nred scorpion\ndid well in video , television and foreign sales . nonetheless , at some point prior to its release in april 1989 , the abramoffs and regency found themselves in enough debt that the film went into the possession of performance guarantees , a completion bond company .\nafter jack returned to washington , robert abramoff stayed in los angeles and continued to produce films . he is now a full -

villains which has included both scorpion and vulture in the past as well as spider - man baddie favourites such as doctor octopus , electro and sandman .\nother trivia : lundgren is such a generous and kind raconteur that it ' s pretty funny listening to him reflexively trying to defend some things that any other star else would either conveniently gloss over or dismiss . he praises sylvester stallone ' s detail - oriented direction of rocky iv but also commends red scorpion director zito for his zeal :\nzito was very postitive and had full momentum all the time rather than focussing on the individual scenes .\nfurthermore , lundgren ' s not even sure why he did some of the stunts that he did for red scorpion , saying about a stunt where he jumps onto a speeding motorbike :\ni don ' t know if i was just stupid or if zito wanted it .\nhe added ,\ncrazy ! i would never do that today .\nurltoken red scorpion : dolph lundgren , m . emmet walsh , al white , t . p . mckenna , carmen argenziano , alex colon , brion james , ruben nthodi , vuzi dibukwana , james mthoba , dinky motsemme , ernest ndhlovu , thapelo mofokeng , mxolisi hulana , nicky rebello , drummond marais , charles comyn , tullio moneta , jurgen hellberg , graham clarke , joseph zito , jack abramoff : movies & tv\nwe\u2019ve been working on our release of red scorpion for almost a year now . we want ours to be the best version available in any country , on any format , and we have been taking our time putting together the ultimate version of the film for our audience . not only in compiling some amazing supplements , but also working on a restoration of the original materials to make ours the best looking version released .\nin the scene , lundgren goes into a drunken rage and breaks a man ' s nose with one punch . it ' s easy to think that is drago struggling with the loss . the problem is that it is not a scene from rocky iv but from 1998 action film red scorpion , where lundgren plays a soviet spetsnaz operative . hopefully millions of people scroll far enough into the comments section to learn that .\neven as propaganda , \u201cred scorpion\u201d is a bit confused . every single russian and cuban soldier in the film is portrayed as being pure , uncomplicated , hitler - doesn\u2019t - look - so - bad - in - comparison evil ; every one , that is except lundgren , whose heroism dilutes the intended message that the only good soviet is a dead one . then again , by the end of the film , the only russian who\u2019s\nbefore fallen lobbyist jack abramoff assumed his role as the most scrutinized man in washington , he had a brief career as a budding hollywood producer . he made just one movie , the 1989 cold war bomb\nred scorpion .\nwith its blatant propaganda , its collaboration with the apartheid south african government , and financial misdealing , it ' s notable , even for hollywood , for being one of the seamiest productions in recent memory .\nif only things were as jovial off the set . they weren ' t . actors went unpaid ; argenziano said that although he was paid his initial salary , he has never received a residuals check for\nred scorpion .\nthe manager of one of the major cast members , who did not want to be named , said that , according to her client , many of the actors and crew were never paid at all .\nin countries like india , scorpion stings are a serous public health issue , particularly among children , where the unclad foot of an unwary youngster can lead to a painful and in some cases if left untreated deadly sting .\nbut the story behind\nred scorpion\nis far more captivating . the film was to be a manifesto for abramoff ; a rambo - like morality tale and a grand indictment of communism - - his reagan doctrine parable in action - packed technicolor . and in the process of conceiving of and making it , abramoff helped groom an african despot , rose to high levels in the k street food chain , and got to play international spy .\none thing to understand about abramoff was that his hollywood career and his lobbying career weren ' t separate\u2014they were like a giant melting pot of influence and propaganda . in fact , red scorpion was effectively funded by the south african military , thanks to the fact that the country was abramoff ' s primary client at the time . if you watch the movie , in fact , you ' ll notice that the tanks being driven throughout are south african .\nwith citizens for america disbanded , and law school done , abramoff moved to los angeles . he came up with the premise for\nred scorpion\nand hired arne olsen , a young screenwriter with no credits to his name , to write it . the abramoffs told olson they wanted to base the fictional african country in the film , mombaka , directly on angola , and the rebel leader on savimbi . olsen said he churned out a baldly propagandistic script .\nlundgren is the\nred scorpion\nof the title ( like you couldn ' t figure that out ! ) . the russian government sends lundgren , their top soldier , to africa to hunt down and kill a rebel leader that is giving russian bases some flak . lundgren infiltrates the group by look like a deserter but along the way ends up becoming empathetic towards the rebels views . his government in turn tries to exterminate lundgren so lundgren gets angry and bullets begin to fly .\nhow the dvd / blu ray makes the case for the film : in his liner note , damoiseu gives a stirring and comprehensive history of red scorpion that reveals how the film ' s freaky production history helped to make it a memorable role for the charismatic - - look at him pout ! - - athletic - - thighs as big as a rob liefeld comic book character ! - - and smart - - has a master ' s degree in chemical engineering ! - - swede .\nsince recently , dolph lundgren owns the privilege to weight on a film ' s orientation and his character ' s contruction . without the ex - punisher signature , a project can stay a treatment for eventual buyer . masters of the universe , red scorpion 2 , the punisher 2 and even the sequel of cover up . . . the list of sequels projects on dolph ' s agent desk is long .\nfrom impact , # 30 , december 1990 ( translated from french )\njames glickenhaus , whose company , schapiro glickenhaus entertainment , ended up distributing\nred scorpion\nafter warner brothers jumped ship , said he was not aware of the help provided by the sadf , but he was aware of the controversy over the location .\nlook , had the film been made in nazi germany , i wouldn ' t have distributed it ,\nhe said .\nbut i personally felt upon investigating that the namibian government was more simpatico than the south african government .\nand once their victim is captured \u2013either clasped in the scorpions\u2019 pincers , or poisoned by a deadly sting , like this roach - digestive fluids turn the meal to liquid , that can be sucked into the scorpion\u2019s stomach . and what\u2019s left , is cast aside .\ni won ' t lie , i came out of red scorpion extremely disappointed . it starts off all right but quickly degrades into a nearly actionless display of lundgren living with some natives . it does have two good action sequences , especially the climax but that comes an hour and a half too late . the production values are also rather flat and the lighting for one thing looks really cheap . it ' s nice to see lovable character actors m . emmet walsh and brion james present but they are in mostly thankless roles\n\u2014 dolph lundgren , reflecting on the production of red scorpion in a 2011 interview with the now - defunct site mondo video . the swedish actor did a number of his own stunts in the film , including a scene in which he had scorpions walking on him .\njesus , i did so many crazy stunts on that film ,\nhe recalled .\nit ' s unbelievable when i think back about it . it would never happen today . nobody would ever let you do any of that stuff now .\nwhile these trends ensured red scorpion could be made and would have an audience , it also meant that it was far from unique in the market . cannon films , another independent filmmaker of the era , was making dozens of films just like this one every year , relying on a stable of well - remembered b - list action heroes like chuck norris , charles bronson , and jean claude van - damme . ( side note : this documentary about cannon is an amazing document of this era and its impact on filmmaking . )\ndirected by joe zito , who i\u2019m sure everyone remembers as the director behind the prowler , friday the 13th : the final chapter , and the chuck norris vehicles invasion u . s . a . and missing in action . another factor in red scorpion and the films mentioned , with the exception of missing in action , is legendary effects master tom savini . instead of machetes and pitchforks severing limbs this outing , its machine gun fire , so expect some gore in these firefights . this is way more than bond style action here .\npandin recalled that abramoff enlisted russell crystal , the head of the iff ' s johannesburg office and an advisor to f . w . deklerk , to be an informal producer on\nred scorpion\n( whether this meant crystal helped fund the film , pandin did not remember ) . but pandin says abramoff refused to compensate crystal afterward .\nit wasn ' t a good experience ,\npandin said of the film .\na lot of people didn ' t get paid . russell wasn ' t entirely enamored of jack after that .\nthis action - packed controversial cult classic is now available from synapse films in a brand - new 2k high - definition transfer of the uncensored version , containing footage never before seen in the u . s . featuring amazing performances from dolph lundgren , m . emmet walsh ( blood simple ) and the late brion james ( blade runner ) , red scorpion contains bloody special effects from the legendary tom savini ( dawn of the dead , friday the 13th ) . loaded with interviews and other amazing special features , this disc will blow you away !\nred in the qiu yan who , qiu yan fourth step into the fifth order to spend enough of two years , and now the mood of the year no progress . qianfeng into the sixth order has also been a year s time , he is still relatively high quality roo .\nconsidering the budget and target audience , red scorpion pretty much achieves its modest goals . draggy patches notwithstanding , this is an entertaining action movie featuring dolph lundgren at the peak of his physical form along with a healthy dosage of one - liners . in the end , however , the film offers nothing new , and the twist of making the hero a russian is hardly enough to extend the film ' s appeal beyond the audience of hardcore action fans or loyal dolph lundgren followers . if you do not fall into any of the abovementioned categories , give it a miss .\nin the mid eighties when dolph lundgren was picked out of the five thousand men who auditioned for the role of the almost super human russian boxer ivan drago in rocky 4 . it was assumed that he\u2019d been marked for stardom , but lundgren was never able to the right role . his first staring role as he - man in the highly anticipated masters of the universe ( also known as the movie that sank cannon pictures ) wasn\u2019t the blockbuster that it was expected to be . although when he was cast as the lead in red scorpion a year later it seemed like a sure thing .\ndolph lundgren ' s pectorals are the real stars of ' ' red scorpion , ' ' an action - adventure movie set in the fictional african country of mombaka . filmed from below so that one has the sense of peering up at a massive kinetic sculpture , his glistening torso , which over the course of the film is subjected to assorted tortures , is the movie ' s primary visual focus whenever the action slows down . and since mr . lundgren remains stone - faced , rarely speaking except to issue commands in a surprisingly hesitant monotone , his heaving chest actually communicates more emotion than his mumbling lips .\ndisc # 1 - - red scorpion 1 . the mission [ 8 : 12 ] 2 . getting in trouble [ 10 : 59 ] 3 . escape [ 11 : 16 ] 4 . traveling home [ 12 : 05 ] 5 . homecoming [ 8 : 04 ] 6 . left for dead [ 8 : 36 ] 7 . desert wandering [ 9 : 20 ] 8 . training [ 5 : 15 ] 9 . final test [ : 56 ] 10 . unwelcome reception [ 4 : 02 ] 11 . kicking some ass [ 8 : 33 ] 12 . end credits [ 7 : 22 ]\nthe film \u2013 ah the soviet super -

most notably cuba and vietnam , but even in south africa russian influence took root ( by force , but again shhhhhhhh ) . this brings us to red scorpion .\nnow to the smaller , more rapid explosions that produce little lead balls of instant kill . i\u2019m talking about gunfights , and there are plenty of them . of course since there\u2019s soviets , you\u2019ve got ak - 47\u2019s out the ass , but some odd choices too . like the rpk lmg ( which i only recognized from black ops , so thumbs up for violent video games on the learning scale ) , which dolph uses in an odd way , holding the bi - pod instead of the grips when firing . it\u2019s small things like that that make red scorpion stand out , just those little deviations to action stereotypes that stick with you .\npeter roff , who is listed as abramoff ' s personal assistant in the credits of\nred scorpion ,\nsaid he worked for abramoff out of the latter ' s washington office during the time of the production in 1987 and ' 88 . roff , however , recalled doing more work for the iff than for the film . indeed , he only vaguely remembered the name regency entertainment . he never went to l . a . or to the set in africa . but roff , who worked on george h . w . bush ' s ' 88 campaign , claimed he too was unaware of the source of the iff ' s funding .\ndesigned to make red - blooded americans cheer . lundgren plays a russian special forces operative brought to an unnamed african nation , ordered to assassinate an anti - communist military leader . instead , he switches sides and joins a group of freedom fighters in beating down the soviets . it\u2019s the cold war in desert heat , essentially .\nthe thing about red scorpion is that it ' s not a great movie by traditional critical standards . it ' s from an era of filmmaking when auteurs weren ' t the driving force behind independent filmmaking in hollywood . the auteurs never really went away , of course\u2014john waters and david lynch made some of their best films during this period\u2014but a lot of low - budget action movies being made in this era were trying to riff off the reagan - era republicanism of the rambo series . as abramoff was both a reagan - era republican and a guy who grew up in beverly hills , he was pretty much the perfect person to take advantage of this b - movie trend .\nthe iff , however , could not claim impartiality on the subject . it was , in fact , clandestinely funded by the sadf ' s military intelligence arm , according to former u . s . officials , anc documents , and reports published in u . s . and u . k . according to a 1995 newsday report , the iff received up to $ 1 . 5 million a year from the sadf from 1986 through 1992 , as a part of operation babushka , a smear campaign meant to discredit mandela and the anc by portraying them as allied with communist regimes . an sadf intelligence chief also told the newsday reporters that the sadf helped fund\nred scorpion .\nscreenwriter andrew lemay did an interview with the\nboxing with the truth\nblog has written a screenplay and said he ' s discussed the idea with people tied to the rocky series . a synopsis of the screenplay was shared with si . the characters in the proposed drago movie are owned by mgm . lemay adapted the drago film from his original screenplay titled red glove .\n' ' a south african defense force spokesman in pretoria has confirmed that vehicles , weaponry and other military equipment has been made available to the film makers , ' ' said an article published under the headline ' ' scorpion sting . ' ' ' ' this is equipment that could not be provided by the private sector . the film makers are paying for this assistance .

in - command ( al white ) and a wild - eyed american journalist ( m . emmet walsh ) , he crashes their stronghold but fails to kill their leader . discarded by his nasty communist bosses for failing in his mission , he is rescued in the desert by a kindly tribe of bushmen who nurse him back to health and initiate him into the tribe . once restored to fighting condition he is ready for battle , this time on the side of the oppressed rebels .\nabramoff ' s last gasp as a producer came thanks to austin st . john , a . k . a . the original red ranger from the power rangers . after st . john left the show , he created an instructional martial arts video , which you can watch here in full , because austin uploads his stuff to youtube . abramoff has just three imdb credits as a producer . somehow , this is the third .\nthe house of the scorpion is a dark , twisted , but ultimately hopeful story about a young clone named matt who grows up in a dystopian world under the control of a drug lord . oh , and this drug lord happens to be the man from whom he was cloned . as it turns out , this guy , called el patr\u00f3n , cloned our protagonist so that he might harvest matt ' s organs to keep himself alive later in life .\nbut at the same time , what makes red scorpion so fun is the fact that everyone was clearly throwing caution to the wind when they made it . the film could have been shot anywhere but instead it was shot in the desert , causing the film ' s shooting schedule to distend from its original 2 1 / 2 months to 4 1 / 2 months . the film ' s crew similarly used real guns and real dynamite for stunt - work . and while tom savini ' s make - up effects certainly wasn ' t real , lundgren did many of his own stunts . several live black scorpions were let loose on his back in one scene ( their stingers had rubber tips put on them ) while a p . o . ed hyena took a bite out of lundgren after the filmmakers shot a deleted scene that ' s not featured in synapse ' s release but is alluded to in damoiseau ' s essay .\n' the wolverine ' \u2212 hugh jackman sees more of jean grey & the silver\u2026 after the initial trailers for the wolverine depicted our favorite stogie -

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

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

in the 1970 ' s . . . . . . watch this and you ' ll know\njacqueline bisset a once and still magnificently beautiful and talented actress is regrettably the most notorious name in the cast . it is so unfortunate that she allowed herself to become a part of its ensemble since the film has little , if any , value at all . as can be expected , the film attempted to ride on the coattails of the enormously successful , titanic , but fell far short of its expectations . most importantly , it is not historically correct . the same argument could be made regarding titanic , as the characters were fictional . however , in the case of the brittanic , not only are the characters fictious , so is the plot . in addition , the rating is decidedly incorrect , as the film is full of violence and should have received an r rating for its violence alone . i surely regret having to pan a film starring ms . bisset . however this film does not deserve to have been distributed and certainly not under the guise under which it was . hopefully , having received as little publicity as it did , it will not reach a much larger audience than it has to date .\nian will attend the shanghai international film festival\u2019s opening night on 11 june and take part in a special on stage event at the festival on 12 june . plans for ian to travel to other countries as part of the tour will be announced soon .\nthe latter titanic was not the epic film about the perilous disaster that the ship beheld when it crashed into an iceberg . no , titanic was a mediocre love story written around the ship ' s disaster . and , this film made the pathetic mistake a few years ago , to try and rip off the success of that first movie with making a tv\nspecial\nabout the tragic journey of titanic ' s sister ship ( this tv special also included about a zillion commercials ) . the characters are even less interesting than they were in titanic , and the special effects and camerawork and not nearly as good . and this is not a good thing , especially since the producers obviously made sure that everyone knew this film was coming , so that they would watch it . and when it finally arrives , it is a complete and total flop . this did not keep me from buying again for my video collection when i saw it at hollywood for under five dollars . all together , the storyline is slightly more interesting , as there are several gunfights and thrilling moments in which people are chased around . the film is not the thriller that it says it is . it is just another average film based on your true story ( with the facts altered of course ) and tries to rip off of the success of its predecessor . britannic gets 2 / 5 .\nthe bfi national archive holds the world\u2019s greatest collection of moving image

play , with most high - profile stage and television productions at least being mentioned in an arts magazine programme ( for instance , bbc2 ' s review ran an item on a zulu version of the play in 1972 ) . more intriguingly , tony robinson presented the real macbeth ( channel 4 , 2001 ) , an attempt to dig out the truth behind shakespeare ' s multiple layers of legend . there have also been

pretty strange . a modern day take on macbeth . the idea for it is actually pretty smart . i love the fact that the characters in this all have the same names as the play . couldn ' t get enough christopher walken . check this out some time if you ' re bored .\nthe initial idea is a goofy one - take the\nmac\nof macbeth and apply that to the hideous moral vacuum of the perfidious golden arches . hey . . . suddenly this sounds like a good fit after all . this version is set in the real life scotland , pennsylvania of the title in the 1970s , \u2026\na modern , comedy macbeth set in a american diner , called ' duncan ' s ' sharp and funny in places , this starts off in a promising way but loses a bit of steam along the way . you don ' t necessarily have to know your shakespeare to find something to enjoy here , but it definitely helps .\nnew year ' s day 2001 saw channel 4 broadcasting the second rsc - sourced television macbeth , this time drawn from gregory doran ' s acclaimed late - 1990s production with antony sher and harriet walter as the macbeths , supported by joseph o ' conor ( duncan ) , nigel cooke ( macduff ) and ken bones ( banquo ) .\nthis film isn ' t a top movie exactly but its history is interesting . the titanic is world famous for its destiny but her sister the britannic who followed the same fate is almost forgotten . i think it was very interesting to learn about the britannic and it ' s destiny . it ' s important not to forget such incident . i really recommend you to see this movie even if it isn ' t the best made .\nthe shakespeare - told version , scripted by peter moffat , has a very promising first half and a genuinely original premise : the play is set in the high - pressure world of celebrity restaurants , with macbeth ( james mcavoy ) the fiercely ambitious prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of tv chef and restaurateur duncan docherty ( vincent regan ) , while the ' witches ' become three philosophical dustmen . despite some effective blood - drenched dream sequences , moffat ' s script ultimately fails to live up to its promise : the second prophecy , revolving around the phrase\npigs will fly\n, turns out to herald a feeble pun rather an expansion of an early scene in which macbeth demonstrates the most efficient way of carving a pig ' s head .\nabout : very bad things meets shakespeare ' s macbeth review : it ' s a very black - humored retelling of macbeth in rural pennsylvania in the 1970s . the very 1970s . it runs from kooky to evildark and back again throughout . you know the story , but adapt it to a drive - through diner and a bunch of pa rednecks . if you like insane but creepy , spiraling - out - of - control , hokey movies , this is a great choice . to make it even better , it ' s got christopher walken in it at his frankly - frank best . it ' s got crazy carnies , gay sex , burgers , and fried hedz ! and it ' s a love story .\nit ' s such a clever premise , i wish the execution had been a little better . namely the witches , which are borderline insufferable . anyway , most of it is pretty good , and i really like how the filmmakers were able to see a classic noir story in macbeth . also , the movie gets about ten times better when christopher walken shows up .\ni ' ve been looking forward to seeing this very bold adaptation of\nmacbeth\nfor about a year , ever since i first became aware of its existence . but first i saw roman polanski ' s 1971 version , and tonight i watched rupert goold ' s 2010 updated interpretation . of the three , i knew this would be the most challenging for good reason .\nian\u2019s illustrious career spans six decades and he has been performing shakespeare on stage and screen for the majority of it : from breakthrough performances

paraylmpics ( 2012 ) when he portrayed prospero from the tempest .\ncontrary to my expectations this was probably the most original and effortlessly enjoyable shakespeare adaptation i ' ve ever seen . having a strong grasp of the plot and characters of\nmacbeth\nwill definitely help your overall enjoyment as you ' re more likely to appreciate some of the ingenious things that writer / director billy morrissette does with the original play , but no knowledge at all would still make this a comically surreal experience .\nthe programme launches on 31 march with the premiere of play on !

actually sank in 51 minutes - - twice as fast as titanic . unfortunately , the movie sails for two hours and the plot begins taking on water long before the ship does . it becomes tiresome and plodding at times and , although a few scenes are compelling , the film fails to generate the excitement that one would expect from a\nbased on fact\nsea tale . the good news is that only 30 people lost their lives when the real britannic went down . far more died of boredom while watching this slow - moving flick .\nthe first feature - length british adaptation came in 1954 with joe macbeth , which is discussed later . the first ' straight ' feature - length british version was made in 1960 by george schaefer , and was originally intended for american television ' s hallmark television playhouse , though it also got a limited theatrical release . maurice evans and judith anderson played the macbeths , with michael hordern as banquo and ian bannen as macduff . the colour cinematography ( by the great freddie young , who would shoot david lean ' s lawrence of arabia two years later ) tended to prettify the material , partly shot on location in scotland , though it was well received at the time and won numerous emmy awards for both the production and the lead actors .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ncheck out highlights

filmed on location in scotland and occasionally shows flashes of genuine inspiration ( in the dagger scene , a church cross casts a misleading shadow ) , but for the most part it fails to rise above the merely competent , and the obviously tiny budget ( like the 1960 production , it was primarily intended for television ) is a major drawback .\ntelevision adaptations of the play run into double figures , and date almost from the dawn of the medium . on 25 march and 3 december 1937 , the bbc broadcast selected scenes from the play ( the second broadcast was sourced from an old vic production ) , while the first complete broadcast came on 20 february 1949 in a version staged by tv shakespeare veteran george more o ' ferrall that starred stephen murray and bernadette o ' farrell as the

and 1966 ) were all made for schools and broadcast during the day , usually in serial form . the first colour television broadcast of the full play came on 20 september 1970 , in the bbc ' s high - profile play of the month slot . a conservative but often effective production , it starred eric porter and janet suzman as the macbeths , with john thaw as banquo and john woodvine as macduff , and briskly directed by john gorrie . two months later , itv broadcast its own colour version , a five - part serial aimed at schools that starred michael jayston and barbara leigh - hunt .\nanimation shakespeare : the animated tales , bbc2 , tx . 23 / 11 / 1992 , d . nikolai serebriakov\nlol . some of the previous\nreviewers\nseem to have forgotten that this tv movie wasn ' t intended to be a history class ! if you ' re looking for a documentary on the britannic this isn ' t it . if you ' re looking for a well acted , entertaining hour and half than you might like this movie . i do agree with the person who mentioned the cheesy special effects and some of the cringe - inducing dialoge .\nwhile this is one of the better sort of ' made for tv movies ' , it did contain one mistake that made me cringe . during a conversation between the german spy and an irish accomplice , the accomplice states that many of the irish seamen aboard will be glad to take part in the seizure of the ship because ' they ' ve had family killed by the black and tans ' . this is supposed to be 1916 . the black and tans weren ' t founded until 1920 . its just a pity that that small element wasn ' t properly checked out first .\ntoo far from the facts , too close to cameron ' s titanic . . .\nthe\nspecial effects\nare nothing to write home about , and there is some corny dialogue , but it is entertaining to watch . the acting is terrific by all the actors , but the two kids got on my nerves . if you ' re a fan of ryan , than you ' ll love it ; she is wonderful in the role of vera campbell , and she is in practically every scene .\ni believe this movie was made for tv , and i think that i have seen better special effects in an older video game . but i don ' t think that those things make this a bad movie , the plot is interesting and the movie never gets boring . if you are looking for a historically accurate story of the britannic , then you might not like this movie . it is true that the britannic was the sister ship of the famous titanic , that it was suppose to be even safer and grander , and then the ship was commissioned by the british government as a hospital ship during world war one . but the story about spies on board , and that they were the ones that made the ship sink is not true . the ship was really sunk by a mine , or torpedo and i really doubt that there were any spies . the movie is not rated ; i don ' t remember any swear words , or crude language . there is some violence , but it is not bad . but i was disappointed that the movie does have a nude / sex scene , in which amanda ryan shows off her stuff . this scene really disappointed me because the movie had been so clean and family friendly until that point . but i really do think that this movie was interesting , and if cheesy special effects , and nudity ( you can always hit the skip button ) do not bug you i would suggest watching this movie .\nthis movie was defanately far from the truth . there were not german agents onboard who tried to blow up the ship and sink it and the ship didn ' t get hijacked and crew members were not shot by german spys . the britannic was torpedoed off of greece . so , this movie was extremely fictional so if you are looking for something historical acurate , this will not make your list . but , the story , i personally thought , was very neat and the effects and settings were very well done and looked very true to life . it ' s worth the time watching but this is fiction !\nhere ' s some facts . improved safety features included raising 5 bulkheads from e to b deck ( it could stay afloat with 6 compartments flooded , dia instead of the titanic ' s 4 ) , making it 904 ft . long , 94 ft . wide , compared to 883 ft . and 93 ft . of titanic , and weighed ( est . ) 48 , 000 tons , the titanic 46 , 000 tons , so britannic was the longest , widest , heaviest , and largest of the 3\nolympic\nclass ships ( olympic , titanic , and britannic ) . because of ww1 , it never hauled a revenue passenger , it was used as a hospital ship . it ' s sinking was similar to the impress of ireland in one crucial fact : many port holes were left open . had the port holes been closed , it probably wouldn ' t have sank . some say a torpedo sank it ( there was a u - boat in the area ) , but it was more likely a mine ( the u - boat had laying mines in that path ) . here ' s a mistake in the movie : the explosion was from a bottle of ether in a coal bunker .\nit would seem from the reviews to date that\nbritannic\nis either a movie you love or hate . i thought it was superb . in fact , it ' s hard to believe that such an elaborate production was designed for television . admittedly , i watched it on dvd and it ' s quite possible that if i had been forced to watch its action undercut by television commercials , i would not be nearly so enthusiastic . i hate commercials and for that reason , have not watched any movies on tv for at least twenty years . for me , all aspects of this movie were one hundred per cent entertaining . perhaps i should say\ngripping\nrather than entertaining . the acting from all concerned , but especially the stars , jacqueline bisset , edward atterton , john rhys - davies , amanda ryan and bruce payne , i would rate as absolutely perfect . the same goes for all the technical credits , especially the inspired direction , superb photography and gripping special effects .\nwhile this is an obvious made - for - tv follow up to titanic ( cameron ) it does draw attention to a signficant shipwreck that has been largely forgotten . bollards relatively recent expedition has shown that the ship was sunk by torpedo ' s as shown , but sunk because the portholes were open and the bulkhead doors were not closed . it is indeed fortunate that it happened on an inwards transit because on an outwards one the loss of life would have been enormous . yet again we have intrigue and romance fictionally built into a disaster movie but the truth of the matter is that the sinking of britannic was an act of war with minimal loss of life . with what had happened in galipoli and the western front it was hardly newsworthy . the movie for all its slights of hand might have just made its sinking more noteworthy than has otherwise been the case .\nmy review of the plot of britannic would only mirror other reviews , it ' s a good movie and does well with it ' s budget . it is a little to similar to titanic for my liking in that there is unexpected romance aboard a large ship that sinks . it ' s still very watchable until right at the end when the ship actually sinks . it switches from real footage of the characters to a computer animation of the ship sinking . the ship then topples over and sinks in all of about 10 seconds . the fact that it ' s animated couldn ' t be more obvious . it ' s such a let down , they coped well with the low budget throughout , then at the climax of it all they cheap out with some very nasty cgi .\nwith no other writer impacting so greatly on cinema , this programme explores on an epic scale how filmmakers have adapted , been inspired by and

( july 9 , 2018 ) . urltoken\nfor years this writer had heard nothing but negative things about kevin connor\u0092s 1982 japanese / american haunted house opus the house where evil dwells and that , coupled with the fact that the premise just didn\u0092t seem that interesting , caused me to steer clear .\nlike all good japanese ghost stories the house where evil dwells is deeply weird and that\u0092s likely why certain critics and fans didn\u0092t respond to it upon release . but its alien oddness brushes up against a legitimately affecting domestic melodrama , one that gives george a long leash to deliver a fearless , uninhibited performance that is as emotionally complex as it is sexual ( the actress has no qualms about showing off her gorgeous body ) . all these elements combine to make the house where evil dwells one of the great , unsung 80\u0092s horror films . there\u0092s nothing really quite like it .\nscream factory may be scraping the bottom of the barrel sometimes with these double feature releases , but , this time around , enjoyment can be found , especially in the house where evil dwells . they aren\u2019t the best films and some may find them boring , but overall , if it was found for the right price ( let\u2019s say $ 15 ) , they are worth the purchase .\noh dear , where to start . premise wise this one should have offered us some real scares and thrills . since most of it is very similar to the story from the grudge ( the remake that is ) . well , partly . but don\u2019t get your hopes up because the evil isn\u2019t strong in this one . the house where evil dwells is about an american family coming to live in a house that is haunted . of course like always in films like these they don\u2019t take this seriously and are happy to live in such a beautiful place . especially when they hear it is super cheap . who wouldn\u2019t be swayed by that ?\nthe house where evil dwells and ghost warrior are presented on blu - ray from scream factory , and they\u2019ve never looked better . the films have been cleaned up nicely , with no noticeable visual issues or audio problems . the budgets for the films are a bit low , so you have to understand what you\u2019re getting into , but looking at these transfers , scream factory did a wonderful job .\nshout ! factory brings ' the house where evil dwells / ghost warrior ' to blu - ray as a double - feature single - disc release under the distributor ' s scream factory line . the region a locked , bd50 disc containing both films is housed inside a regular blue case with reversible cover art . at startup , the disc goes to an animated screen with music where viewers can choose between the two movies , and then taken to the standard menu screen with full - motion clips .\nthe house where evil dwells gets sneered at for what many believe to be inadvertent humor and inept attempts to scare , but i don\u0092t see it that way . the ghosts themselves ( achieved via a very cool in - camera technique pioneered by german expressionists ) act like a malevolent greek chorus to the dissolution of the family and they\u0092re a deeply surreal addition that adds a kind of bizarre black comedy to the often histrionic drama .\nresearch a coffee house , a bar , a restaurant , or some other place in your neighborhood where artists and writers gather , then explain the appeal of that place in a short essay .\nan american family moves into a house in japan , haunted by samurai ghosts and giant crabs .\nchock full of 70 ' s b - television staples , house where evil dwells is the perfect movie to watch while getting drunk with a bunch of friends . it ' s hard to beat ghosts who must open and close doors to get in and out of the house they ' re haunting ( silly susan george opens the door after a monk exorcises the house and lets them all back in ! ) and giant attacking crabs muttering in japanese . and not to be missed is the last scene in which out - of - shape doug mcclure is possessed by the ghost of a samurai and awkwardly kicks and chops at mow stud edward albert ( oh , trampas ! ) high camp that is sure to please .\ni eventually forgot about the picture and was only reminded of its existence when the film showed up in my mailbox on scream factory\u2019s double feature blu - ray , coupled with charles and albert band\u0092s 1984 action flick ghost warrior ( aka swordkill ) . well , good things come to those who wait and i\u0092m happy to report that the house where evil dwells is an absolutely insane horror film ; a mad amalgam of eastern and western sensibilities , filled with sex , violence , humor , absurdity and hysteria .\n10 year anniversary : a look back at horrornews . net , the tech , and where we are !\n( for other photographs of henry ' s time at trefusis , see hw at trefusis house page . )\na middle - aged woman , traumatized from the death of her adulterous lover , moves into a room at a new orleans boarding house where the blind landlord becomes suspicious to her activities of continuing her affair with her dead lover .\nthe house where evil dwells can be a little slow at times , and the ghosts really are the worst spirits this side of the afterlife . they don ` t do much and the movie never explains why the three of them are acting out together , as clearly , they didn ` t seem like the best of friends when they were alive . however , when the ending rolls around and we get a few hilarious , albeit , gnarly scenes , i felt like it was worth the sit - down . plus , we get a good helping of boobies to sat\u00e9 your tastes .\na family moves into their new home , which proves to be evil , resulting in the demonic possession of the teenage son . only the local priest can save him .\nthe fact that the happy valley still exists after the house has been destroyed represents the triumph of good over evil , which is central to du maurier\u2019s story . although max , and the protagonist along with him , must pay the price of murder by being expelled from manderley and turned away from the paradise at the heart of it , in their love for each other , which the forces of evil could not destroy , the pair carry with them into exile the goodness that they sensed resided in the happy valley .\nphillip now moves into his uncle hugh\u2019s old \u2018garden\u2019 room ( well fumigated ! ) in his grandfather\u2019s house next door .\nafter directing the humorous and successful motel hell , kevin connor missed the mark with this straightforward haunted - house horror film . in a big house in 1840 japan a love triangle ends in two murders and a suicide , leaving an adulterous wife , mako hattori ;

to haunt the house forever . when a young american couple , edward albert and susan george , move into the house and are visited by a diplomat friend , doug mcclure , the ghosts take possession of the modern - day inhabitants , and the triangle is reenacted . a buddhist\nreview : after directing the humorous and successful motel hell , kevin connor missed the mark with this straightforward haunted - house horror film . in a big house in 1840 japan a love triangle ends in two murders and a suicide , leaving an adulterous wife , mako hatto\u2026 ( more )\nafter directing the humorous and successful motel hell , kevin connor missed the mark with this straightforward haunted - house horror film . in a big house in 1840 japan a love triangle ends in two murders and a suicide , leaving an adulterous wife , mako hattori ; her lover , toshiyuki sasaki ;\nalthough amusing in a few spots , ' the house where evil dwells ' fails at establishing any level of suspense or an elaborate mystery to engage viewers , but it comes with several unintentional laughs that might interest some . on the other hand , ' ghost warrior ' is a pleasant surprise featuring a fish - out - water premise that yields several bits of action , a likeable protagonist thanks to the excellent performance of hiroshi fujioka and a dramatic arc that genuinely satisfies . the blu - ray arrives with a very good audio and video presentation in both movies , but this is a bare - bones release , which might make some hesitant . still , the overall package is worth the price just to own the second film .\nat some point in the past , there was a boom in samurai films ( i think . how else do you explain these two films . ) first , we had the house where evil dwells , about a horny japanese ghost , and the other is ghost warrior ( i much prefer the \u201ci\u2019m not even trying\u201d name swordkill , ) a film that predates the oscar bait film encino man by about six years . both films certainly have their fair share of problems , be it a small budget , cheesy acting , or paper - thin plots , but oddly enough , the films still entertain . if anyone happens to be in the mood for a cheese fest , then what better way than with scream factory\u2019s double feature blu - ray release .\nwhile in her dream the narrator does return briefly to the library at manderley , where she and max had some companionable moments , it is the happy valley that must be seen as their paradise . at monte carlo , when he first describes his home to his future wife , max dwells not on the house , but on that particular area of the grounds . even without his comments , however , the protagonist would have recognized the importance of the happy valley . when max takes her there , she sees his joy , she finds herself freed from the oppression that grips her elsewhere on the estate , and somehow she knows that the happy valley is the heart , the central reality , of manderley .\nstarting with the fourth paragraph , however , there is a break in the way the poet\u2019s impressions of the bar are reported . instead of giving readers sound impressions , he now only uses visual imagery . and at the same time , the sense of nastiness , almost of evil , is increased .\nin the present day , an american family of three , writer ted fletcher , his wife laura , and their 12 - year - old daughter , amy , moves into this since - abandoned house and starts to experience incidents of haunting and possession . the three murdered people still haunt the house and subject each of the fletcher family to various harassment and mischief which gets more frequent and serious with each passing day\u2026\nmonk is called in to exorcise the house , but the ghosts return and take over the bodies again , leading to a violent end . the film has more nudity than chills , but it does have some quirky humor , especially in the exorcism scene .\nyet at the same time , the poet remains inside the bar , which is not just evil but snug . there is something comfortable about staying inside , risking the chance of human connection ( which may remain forever impossible ) rather than going outside into the snow , which will remain forever inaccessible to the poet .\nphillip is given three weeks\u2019 leave prior to returning to landguard . visiting the moon insurance office ( where he was a clerk before the war started ) he enquires if downham will be returning . if so , then\nan american writer , ted fletcher ( edward albert ) , his wife , laura ( susan george ) , and 12 - year - old daughter , amy ( amy barrett ) , move into a dreamy traditional japanese house in rural kyoto prefecture . arranged by ted ' s american diplomat friend , alex curtis ( doug mcclure ) , the unusually spacious house is a steal , renting for just $ 250 / month .\nhe is based at tregaskis house . ( this is trefusis house : hw was actually there in the summer of 1917 and it was while there that he began to write . this was obviously a form of therapy recommended for the nervous state that he was in . ) there is bathing , tennis and rowing , picnics and trips out to the implacable , a warship from nelson\u2019s era , moored out in the harbour where they could dive off the deck into the water . there is a great deal of larking about with surreptitious drinking and smoking . phillip makes friends with the tregaskis sixteen - year - old twins and local shop assistants , editha ( edie ) and beth sithney ( their real names ) .\na young american family moves to a house in kyoto , japan . it turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of a woman and her lover , who were killed by the woman\u2019s husband , as well as the ghost of the husband , who killed himself afterward .\nworks through this tried - and - true plot in the usual ways . at times the screenplay has little flashes of cleverness , such as customers at a sushi shop where willie takes yoshimitsu mistaking him for the famous japanese star toshiro mifune .\nit ' s the basically stupid and essentially unpleasant tale of an american family that move into a haunted house in the hills of japan ; and for an 89 - minute movie , it sure feels pretty fucking interminable , let me tell you .\na young american family moves to a house in kyoto , japan . it turns out to be haunted by the ghosts of a woman and her lover , who were killed by the woman ' s husband , as well as the ghost of the husband , who killed himself afterward .\non the journey back to england their ship hits a mine . spectre west drowns and phillip , in distraught state , is taken to the duchess of gaultshire\u2019s hospital at husborne abbey , where he slowly recovers , learning that he has been awarded the dso .\nthe following day this no . 1 composite battalion march out of the line west to bresle , where it was disbanded and the men returned to their original units . a few days later the 2nd gaultshires are ordered by slow train back up to st omer ( where phillip / hw had first been in november 1914 ) and on to poperinghe : they learn that general gough has been removed from command of the vth army ( this was an iniquitous event \u2013 rescinded in later years : but the government needed a scapegoat at the time ) .\nequally outrageous are scenes where the murderous dead samurai\u0092s face appears grimacing in the daughter\u0092s soup , to which the girl states \u0093there\u0092s a horrible face in my soup ! \u0094 before her angry , demented dad tries to pour the steaming brew down her gullet . it\u0092s a sequence of absolute madness and , rather than being silly , i found it to be an abstract re - enactment of the insanity of domestic abuse . then there\u0092s the unforgettable sequence where the daughter is menaced by the giant tree - crab monster , a deliciously crude remote controlled puppet that grumbles away in japanese , chasing her around the room .\nthe first two paragraphs of the poem immediately describe the first of these themes . the poet is sitting inside mcsorley\u2019s saloon in greenwich village , new york city . outside it is \u201cbeautifully snowing , \u201d ( line 2 ) but inside it is \u201csnug and evil\u201d ( line 3 ) . the second paragraph is a sort of verbal collage of various impressions of the interior of the bar , mostly consisting of visual images , all thrown\nthe third paragraph continues in this mode , including in its collage effect snippets of the conversations that fill the air inside mcsorley\u2019s . what is most notable in this paragraph and the one before it is the palpable sense of decay that fills the inside of the bar . the imagery is full of words that sound somehow disgusting : gobs , spittle , piddle , skulch . these and the various bits of conversation related in this paragraph help to heighten the sense that it is indeed \u201csnug and evil\u201d inside the bar .\nafter four days at home he returns to landguard , where he is detailed to attend the minden day celebration at husborne ( home of the duke ) with his colonel , lord satchville . so he returns to the abbey , no longer a patient but as soldier honoured with the dso . phillip finds the ceremony moving ,\nthis is a story of the last year of the great war , and of the year following the first silence upon the battlefield . it has a small beginning , set in a time when all combatants , except perhaps those of the united states \u2013 who had yet to share in the general sufferings of the old world \u2013 were coming to the end of their endurance upon both the home front , and the western front \u2013 that deadly area where millions of husbands and sons had fallen , in the coastal sandhills beside the channel ; in the brown , the treeless , the grave - set plain of flanders ; among the slag - heaps and derelict pithead - gear of artois ; upon the chalk uplands of picardy and champagne ; in the forests of argonne and alsace extending to the neutral country of switzerland \u2013 where below mountain peaks , under the snow , wild flowers lay resting as still within their corms and bulbs as the human dead upon the battlefield .\ntheir destination is \u2018corunna\u2019 , or \u2018white city\u2019 camp , where they find the quartermaster , colonel moggerhanger ( \u2018moggers\u2019 ) \u2013 quite a character , based on colonel cressingham , 2nd bedfordshires \u2013 who tells them the rest of the battalion is in the trenches . that night phillip sees flares denoting an attack , and the next morning the badly mauled battalion marches back in :\none morning he read in the newspaper that a new club for writers was to be formed in london , with premises in long acre , where once a week young authors and journalists might foregather to discuss literary matters and listen to lectures by famous writers .\nphillip is now the officer commanding no . 1 composite battalion , based on a real \u2018composite battalion\u2019 ( see aw , henry williamson and the first world war , p . 144 , where some background to this is given ) . when on defence guard duties a shell bursts overhead .\nthis was a real event witnessed by hw . ( see hwsj 43 , sept , 2007 , john gregory , \u2018the great war in the writings of henry williamson\u2019 , pp . 68 - 91 , where there are several photographs of this event on pp . 89 - 90 . )\nthe speaker describes the saloon and its \u201cslobbering walls\u201d as \u201csnug and evil . \u201d this seeming contradiction highlights the simultaneous attraction and repulsion the speaker holds for the place . cummings\u2019s trademark disregard for conventional grammar and syntax are effective here , as they help to depict a bustling , chaotic , and dirty atmosphere that is nonetheless comfortable . adjective and adverbs such as \u201cslobbering , \u201d filthily , \u201d \u201cpompous , \u201d and \u201cwitless\u201d all contribute to this description .\nthe fourth \u2018message\u2019 hidden here concerns phillip\u2019s ( and thus hw\u2019s ) attitude to his own experience of war . by the end of the book he has faced its horror and fear \u2013 although it is obvious he was forever deeply maimed \u2013 but he is becoming resigned and reconciled . we know from his writings in his early 1920s \u2018richard jefferies journal\u2019 that he found strength from the \u2018power\u2019 that made the natural world : a deeply philosophical concept even though not expressed in such terms , a searching for truth which underpinned his life thought and his writing . it also reflects the \u2018light and darkness\u2019 ( good and evil ) theme of later novels : that platonic concept of opposites \u2013 one cannot understand something without its opposite : to comprehend \u2018light\u2019 one has to have \u2018dark\u2019 : therefore to comprehend \u2018good\u2019 one has to have \u2018evil\u2019 .\nit has two rooms , each with its individual admonitory sign , \u201cbe good or be gone . \u201d the walls are crowded with photographs and lithographs in which a vanished city dwells , and dead , buxom ladies and derbied men . the room in front has the bar , but the room in back boasts a famous lady of smooth and beautiful nudeness . . . . here writers , artists , and laborers still meet on equal terms , without distractions , to sluice down amber quarts in the abiding gloom .\nhe is sent down to tregaskis house at falmouth , cornwall , to convalesce but his wild behaviour ( reaction from tension ) gets him into trouble . in due course returning to landguard he asks for a transfer to the indian army , and is actually about to leave when , on 11 november 1918 , the war ends . the transfer is cancelled .\nin 1840 , a samurai comes home to find his wife in bed with another man , so he kills them both and then himself . flash - forward to the present day , and an american family of three moves into this since - abandoned house and starts to experience incidents of haunting and possession .\nin the new year he is transferred to shorncliffe ( folkestone , kent ) . he meets mrs evelyn fairfax ( the heroine of his earlier book the dream of fair women , part of the flax of dream series ) , buys the latest norton road - racing motorcycle , and generally creates mayhem ! he is transferred to cannock chase where his difficult behaviour quickly earns him demobilisation .\nin the course of his duties he learns that the germans are preparing for a massive attack and he changes his name onto the a list ( active service ) and , taking the place of someone who has reported sick , goes back to france , where he meets up again with \u2018spectre\u2019 west , battalion co ( and triple dso ) , 2nd gaultshires .\njust as the man seems to be more than an ordinary bar patron ( who has perhaps had too much to drink ) , so too does asking him if he would like a drink seem to be more than just a friendly invitation . the request is described as \u201cthe eternal perpetual question\u201d and can be seen as the ultimate attempt to reach out to a world of decay and death , where one is always separated from the rest of the world , just as cummings is separated from the patrons at the bar . thus , not only is the man ( who is always described as \u201cit\u201d ) a person , he is the \u201cdarkness\u201d of line 32 and possibly also the world itself , or at least its evil and ugly parts . to truly love and embrace the world , cummings seems to be saying , it\u2019s necessary to be able to embrace its ugly side , to unite with its decay , to take that risk in exchange for connection .\nsee them ) but the movie audience can , all too clearly . this proves a frustrating contrivance : the audience understands exactly what ' s happening but the fletchers are clueless for most of the film . instead of generating suspense this device is merely irritating . later , when they do finally begin to catch on , they make that fatal decision all stupid people do in haunted house movies : stay put .\nthe poem is set in mcsorley\u2019s ale house , where cummings frequently drank . it is a new york city saloon on east seventh between second and third avenues . known as a favorite haunt of bohemians and artists , mcsorley\u2019s opened in 1854 , and both abraham lincoln and john f . kennedy are said to have visited the saloon . in the poem , the speaker , alternately meditative and descriptive , depicts his experience inside the saloon in typical cummings fashion , using nouns as verbs and vice versa , coining portmanteau words ( words whose form and meaning are derived from a blending of two or more distinct forms ) , twisting syntax , and fragmenting words . the poem visually resembles prose , with its division into twelve paragraph - like sections .\nphillip is taken to a hospital at husborne abbey , run by the duchess of gaultshire , where he gradually recovers his strength and his sight . but he is in a state of acute anxiety , blaming himself for spectre\u2019s death and certain that he is going to be reprimanded for this and court -

impressions of the man ) . \u201cdarkness it was so near to me , \u201d he notes ( line 32 ) . yet even when confronted by this apparently disgusting person , the poet does not give in to his fear but instead asks him if he would like a drink . confronted with everything that is terrible and evil in the bar , he chooses to reach out to it , to try to connect with it .\nphillip leaves his dog with mrs neville and returns to landguard where , hearing a draft is leaving for the front , puts his own name down instead of the confidence trickster wilkins , who reports sick . he sends a telegram to lt -

13 movie , i knew little girls were going to see it whether i wanted them to or not . the pressure to be aware of them as an audience at all times and make the movie i was tasked with making was very loud .\n\u201cthis was the time when some of the board members raised concerns related to honda\u2019s role on the board , \u201d said this director . \u201cit wasn\u2019t practical to have them on our board and then also compete with them in the same market with similar products . on the other hand , hero\u2019s export destinations were limited . \u201d\nthe companies had an agreement to renew the equity and technical collaboration every 10 years . the renewal of the partnership in 2004 allowed them to enter each other\u2019s product segments\u2014honda motorcycles into the bike market and hero honda into scooters . the partners also formed a model coordination committee to minimize the scope of cannibalization with competing products .\nhow did this experience change you as a filmmaker ? it\u2019s interesting to direct something so difficult but also something that you love so much . i learned a million little things about execution of this kind of movie and longevity of vision , having to hold the center because really only the director does . that\u2019s a big task to be the person who stays super clear . the most incredible thing about it is to see gal and my true intentions come back at us the way that they are . i assumed we\u2019d be sending our best effort out into a much more jaded world . to have such pure response come back from people talking about heroes , talking about the future , talking about love \u2013 that blows my mind . it\u2019s so powerful that what i wanted to talk about is also what everybody wanted to talk about . that\u2019s a beautiful , uniting experience to make a film that does that .\none day , liam saves a little girl from the burning car , and quickly becomes a local hero . despite the fact that he still carries the pain of loss with him , he feels good because he saved the little girl . days later , he sees a young woman working in a bank that reminds him of his wife .\nhow did donner\u2019s film influence the choices you made with your film ? i watched it very carefully . i was fascinated by how\u2026 it was really an adult film with actors taking it seriously and also having a good time . it hit these pockets so perfectly of comedy , action , romance . that balance was an inspiration to me . i wanted to do something that felt as good to go and see and have that adult stuff going on simultaneously .\nthe characters themselves are a mixtures of generic bad guys , a hero with dead wife issues who comes up with a selfish plan to buy himself another 15mins ( d - list celebrities should take note \u2013 it doesn\u2019t work ) and swain who turns out to be the only likeable character in the entire film and this is not reedus bias .\nthe kill switch was hardcoded into the malware in case the creator wanted to stop it spreading . this involved a very long nonsensical domain name that the malware makes a request to \u2013 just as if it was looking up any website \u2013 and if the request comes back and shows that the domain is live , the kill switch takes effect and the malware stops spreading . the domain cost $ 10 . 69 and was immediately registering thousands of connections every second .\nhero wanted tells the tale of liam case , an empty shell of a garbage man who lost the love of his life when he was unable to rescue her in a car accident . months / years later ( i ' m not sure , the film doesn ' t say how much time has passed since the accident ) he rescues a young girl from a flaming car wreck , getting injured in the process and making him the town ' s local hero . he soon falls in love with a bank teller named kayla ( christa campbell ) . and one day liam gets the nerve to talk to her while she ' s on duty . but the bank is held up and kayla gets shot in the process . liam goes to check on her and in doing so he gets shot , yet he survives his injuries . kayla , however , is in a coma . so liam decides to go after the guys , killing two of them . and now the remaining crooks seek vengeance . so liam must confront the gangsters , ultimately dealing with the choices he made that started it all . but things are more than what they seem ; as the film begins to unravel , you find out that liam is not really the hero he ought to be . how the plot plays out , well if i ' d seen this film say ten years ago , i wouldn ' t buy into it . however in our present society and the crazy shit people have done , i find the plot acceptable and believable .\nmahesh loved vinod creatively , while mukesh hated him financially . so when mahesh narrated a script to mukesh and said that he wanted a middle - aged man to play the lead , suggesting vinod\u2019s name , mukesh cringed . but he had to listen to \u2018bhattsaab\u2019 . after all , vinod and mahesh shared a great bond . mukesh however , had a tough time because the said film , jurm , took almost two years in the making and then there was the dubbing issue .\n\u201cafter they did choose hero as a partner , we asked them why they picked our company , \u201d he said . \u201cthe responses were quite interesting . they said four or five things . they said we like the way you treat your people . secondly , they said we like the way you treat your suppliers , which was in some sense a japanese thing to do . \u201d\n\u201con the other hand , hero had honda , which gave them right technology , and together they were able to bring the right products to the market . so , in a way they were lucky to have honda as a partner . had government allowed 100 % ( foreign ) ownership of companies in late 1980s , in all probability honda would have entered the market on its own . \u201d\nbut he believed that the value of the internet , along with basic privacy , is being rapidly destroyed by ubiquitous surveillance .\ni don ' t see myself as a hero ,\nhe said ,\nbecause what i ' m doing is self - interested : i don ' t want to live in a world where there ' s no privacy and therefore no room for intellectual exploration and creativity .\nhero managed to keep its entire range of bikes with itself while it convinced honda to provide it additional technology support and models even after june 2014 . the royalty payment even on new products would not exceed 5 % of net sales . it bought a lead time of three - and - a - half years for brand transition and indigenous technology , and it had the freedom to compete with honda across the globe .\nbollywood today has many good - looking men happy to be the villain , but back then , there were few \u2014 like vinod khanna . one of vinod\u2019s close friends , purushottam das kochhar , popularly known as dheeraj kumar , used to call him \u2018tiger\u2019 because of his flamboyance and often told him to try being the hero . vinod would tell dheeraj , \u201cyou guys try being the good man . leave the villain\u2019s job to me . \u201d\n6 / 17 ( saturday ) 10 : 00 -

- the event that opened the door for the creation of pakistan - - was an accident , a colossal miscalculation . what ' s more , she says that jinnah never wanted a separate muslim state ; he was only using the threat of independence as a political bargaining chip to strengthen the voice of the muslim minority in the soon -

( their getaway driver is also liam ' s work colleague , swain , played by norman reedus ) . the heist is botched when the teller gets shot in the head and winds up in a coma .\ncuba gooding , jr . stars in this suspenseful crime thriller as a small town trash collector who stages a robbery so that he can impress a girl by being the hero , until the perfect plan takes an awful turn . after he awakens in a hospital , a man tracks down and murders the criminal that left him and a bank teller for dead during a robbery , only to end up having the slain thief ' s associates come after him in retaliation . also starring ray liotta ( smokin ' aces , revolver ) and tommy flanagan ( smokin ' aces , gladiator )\nliam goes after the thieves in retaliation , also catching the attention of detective subcott ( liotta ) . however , it is finally revealed that liam was actually responsible for the robbery . he had seen the teller at the graveyard while visiting his wife ' s grave , and became obsessed with her . unable to work up the courage to actually talk to her , liam came up with a ( incredibly stupid ) scheme : he enlisted swain to hold up the bank while he was inside , as part of an act which would allow him to be a hero in the teller ' s eyes .\nwith all the heart and humor audiences expect from walt disney animation studios ,\nbig hero 6\nis an action - packed comedy - adventure about robotics prodigy hiro hamada , who learns to harness his genius - thanks to his brilliant brother tadashi and their like - minded friends : adrenaline junkie go go tamago , neatnik wasabi , chemistry whiz honey lemon and fanboy fred . when a devastating turn of events catapults them into the midst of a dangerous plot unfolding in the streets of san fransokyo , hiro turns to his closest companion - a robot named baymax - and transforms the group into a band of high - tech heroes determined to solve the mystery .

unknown sci - fi classic is hardly a horror flick .\nnow we know what happens when the earth slows below 55 mph and stands still .\nmovie review of \u201cthe quiet earth\u201d : this often startling , newly restored 1985 science -

punk post - apocalypse . it feels a bit weirder and cleaner . kidding on its got ken russells blood in it .\nthe day the earth stood still ( 1951 ) : the story was so strong and compelling that the film did not require heavy special effects or monsters or violence to be simultaneously hopeful and terrifying .\nsanity slippage : the first third of the film shows zac ' s slow descent into madness .\nthis film , also like the quiet earth , becomes a romantic triangle as the lovely and enigmatic beatriz ( in\u00e9s vernengo ) who , for some reason methodically changes her shoes when she visits , is introduced halfway through the picture . she too will have something to say about reality and identity .\nto understand the ending . you have to understand the beginning . this is critical to the entire film .\nbruno lawrence is absolutely riveting throughout these scenes , and the quiet earth may well have been a stronger film had it continued its narrow focus upon the effects of a total catastrophe upon the mind of a single human being . however , instead of this , the second half of the film introduces a number of additional plot threads which , while interesting , lack the power and intensity of zac\u0092s solitary reign .\nthe quiet earth\nis actually based on the experience of an american tourist in new zealand in the 1970s . new zealanders always take the weekends off and sleep late . the tourist arrived in the center of auckland on a sunday morning and found it completely deserted . he later said he felt like the last man on earth . see more \u00bb\nthe quiet earth may not maintain its absolute brilliance for its full 91 minute run time murphy ' s film successfully evolves without feeling like a montage of varied ideas about the end of the world . his take on drama and the psychologically surreal make for a more realistic and thrilling science fiction about the end of the world . this is a refreshing take on what could be a tired , old subgenre of sci - fi , the quiet earth might inhabit virtually all its own , much like its title character . however , the film manages to be mesmerizing from beginning to end , especially with bruno lawrence ' s acting .\ngeoff murphy ' s the quiet earth is a wonderful low - budget sci - fi film . a last man on earth movie ( a sub - genre i love with unfailing regularity ) , that starts as most of them do , with a man , waking up , alone , trekking the empty streets . the empty streets are always redolent , for anyone who lives in a city . there are abandoned cars , but no bodies . the film is quiet , with a vaguely mad energy . an apocalyptic film , through loneliness , with the air of disquiet . not a horror , the new zealand sense of place is too wry for that , but not just a thriller .\nthe circle represents the area protected by the west virginia radio astronomy zoning act , which is the quietest part of the national radio quiet zone , represented by the square .\nthe conclusion of the quiet earth ( 1985 ) has zac pushing the explosive detonator button just as the sun experiences its\neffect\nprobably from the distortion of time and space .

engaged works from the 1970s to the present . the exhibition takes its inspiration in part from the 1985 new zealand post - apocalyptic film of the same name , and serves as an abstract documentation of the ways that humans have responded to the ecological crises of climate change with scientifically informed aesthetic practices . quiet earth is about an awareness of volume : that which we create , that which we consume , and that which may , in turn , consume us .\nthen the final act of the film is still reasonably normal and idillic . zak is on a beach .\ni ' m really proud that people think that of the film ,\nhe said .\nthe ending in spades . ranks up there with that aussie film , picnic at hanging rock .\nso the film is in three parts : 1 . the before , which is portrayed is flashbacks , 2 . after the event , and 3 . after the\nsecond\nevent , presuming the first event in the film was the first ever .\nnot every apocalypse involves zombies or vampires . \u201cthe quiet earth , \u201d a newly restored 1985 new zealand science -

provoking science fiction . try to track down this gem if you can .\nthis science fiction\nlast - man - on - earth\nfilm was an adaptation of the 1981 novel by craig harrison . its inspiration and influence extended from and to many other ' doomsday ' themed sources :\nunlike remarque ' s novel that begins with the young men already at war , with flashbacks to earlier times , the film is told in a logical , chronological fashion . the content of the film can be divided into four distinct parts :\nnat , cody , and robert have delved into a few little known gems in the past , and we\u2019re pleased to add 1985\u2019s the quiet earth by geoff murphy to that list . it\u2019s a quasi - remake of the world , the flesh , and the devil , which we covered all the way back in episode 8 , but with its own unique spin and willingness to sidestep some of the traps that the earlier film fell into .\nexcellent . . . . . but condition of original master film is a cause for concern .\nlow budget film , with a big budget story . australian cinema at it ' s best .\nonce were warriors has been voted the best new zealand film of all time in the first survey of kiwi national cinema .\nrights & releases the telluride horror show reserves the right to use film stills and portions of accepted films for promotional purposes .\n. . . the telluride horror show was one of the best film festival experiences i\u2019ve had in my life . the films the team at this festival were able to pull together made for one of the most satisfying film lineups around . \u201d - horror society\nyet the quiet earth , directed by a new zealander who made a number of b movies in the 1980s , gets closer to the mystery of life than the tree of life . indeed , the famous astrophysicist neil degrasse tyson calls the quiet earth one of the greatest science - fiction films ever made . its beauty and its profundities are all accidental . one could never repeat an effort like the quiet earth ; it stands alone in a universe that seems to be itself completely an original . but you could have hundreds , if not thousands , of the tree of life . it turns out that the weirdest flowers and shrubs grow best in the soil of b movies . this weirdness comes very close to the way we sense that life is itself very weird . if there is a god , he / she will be much closer to a b - movie director than a philosopher king .\nso what happens at the end of the quiet earth \u2026 ? after zac successfully blows up the facility , we are treated one more time with those spaced - out visuals and find zac waking up on a beach . when he stands up and looks to the horizon , the conclusion unfolds . the viewer and zac simultaneously behold\u2026\na planetrise \u2014 yeah , that enormous ringed world on the cover finally makes its appearance in the film ' s closing shot .\ni love all these movies but i am happy to see mr . neil degrasse tyson mentioned\nthe quiet earth\nthis is a cool movie that has a great mood to it . fine acting and a wonderful score by john charles make it an enjoyable experience .\nand then we get around to the ambiguous ending , where we ponder what is really going on in the film , including competing theories . dante\u2019s divine comedy comes up , but also theories on parallel worlds , and how definitively we can take characters\u2019 statements on what we think is going on . april has been a particularly religious month at still watching the skies and the quiet earth fits into that theme nicely .\n70 % of this film was what i wanted the last man on earth to be . then the second half turns into a mix of awkward relationships and half -

scares amid the eerie empty streets , the quiet earth remains a model of a tight , brainy , humane , psychologically credible three - person mind - bender on a budget . murphy had previously made another three - person road movie , goodbye pork pie ( 1981 ) , and the acclaimed action / revenge\nwestern\nutu ( 1983 ) , about a maori warrior , with lawrence appearing in both films . after the quiet earth became an art -

secret energy project he has been working [ \u2026 ]\nmovies of this stripe ( like \u201cglen and randa , \u201d \u201cthe quiet earth\u201d or , more recently , \u201cthe road\u201d ) are bound to frustrate those anticipating any conventional fantasy thrills , while instead aiming to provide the abstract rewards of a speculative mood piece . that\u2019s likely to be the reaction to \u201cbokeh , \u201d which takes its name from the photographic term for blurry parts of a picture produced by variable lens focus .\nit was not my first encounter with nolan : i met him at the very beginning of his career , in 2000 , just before the us release of memento , which had just come out of sundance . sitting in a red banquette at canter\u2019s deli in los angeles , nolan was the picture of the hopeful young film - maker , genuinely pleased to have someone to talk to about his film . he seemed a little nervous about memento\u2019s reception , and most relaxed when talking about the technicalities of its backwards - running time scheme . the film was shot for a mere $ 4 . 5 million , but after three screenings for studio heads in los angeles , it was turned down by almost every distributor in town , including the weinsteins \u2013 causing steven soderbergh , an early fan of the film , to comment , \u201cwhen a film like chris nolan\u2019s memento cannot get picked up , to me independent film is over . \u201d\nafter a top - secret experiment misfires , a scientist may be the only man left alive in the world . the quiet earth centres around a scientist called zac ( bruno lawrence ) who wakes one morning to discover he is alone in the world . the global top - secret energy project ( operation flashlight ) which he has been working on for a year , has changed the world . humanity seems to have been wiped out .\nfor the most part , the post - apocalypse movie comprised an intelligence - free zone during the 1980\u2019s . most filmmakers operating in the genre in those days were content to rip off escape from new york and the road warrior over and over and over again , and to do so in a manner even less thoughtful than the unapologetically mayhem - driven movies they were copying . consequently , when a film like the quiet earth comes along , and deals with the end of the world in a sober , non - action - movie fashion , the impression it makes is even more arresting than it would be solely on its own merits . indeed , the quiet earth \u2019s refusal to take its cues from the road warrior is doubly remarkable , for not only was it made in 1985 ( the same year as mad max : beyond thunderdome ) , it was shot just over the tasman sea in new zealand . more amazing yet , there isn\u2019t an atom bomb or a global war to be seen anywhere in its script or back - story .\n' ' the quiet earth ' ' is new zealand ' s contribution to the last - man - on - earth genre , or to be precise , the last - two - men - and - one - woman genre . it has the usual huggermugger about tremors and grids and the sun acting peculiarly , plenty of computer screens and significant beeps and colorful special effects signifying commotion in the universe , some cautionary words about the dangers of man playing god and no noticeable psychological sense , but it ' s easy to watch most of the time and never positively painful . this relatively lighthearted exercise in apocalypse opens today at the new carnegie .\nnew zealand ' s geoff murphy unleashed the chilling low - key catastrophe of the quiet earth , which opens with a glorious ball of yellow fire rising from a blood - red horizon of sea and sky . at one point , as john charles ' majestic music surges , the oceanic reflection makes the ball resemble a mushroom cloud more than the sun . if this gives viewers the impression they ' re about to watch a post - apocalypse movie in the tradition of five ( 1951 ) , the world , the flesh and the devil ( 1959 ) , last woman on earth ( 1960 ) and other sparsely populated epics , they ' re not far wrong .\nsociety marches on : in the early 80 ' s , new zealanders were having a lot of issues with the united states , which is why the us is the big bad responsible for everything that happens in the film .\nconsistently engaging and entirely unwilling to give up its secrets without a fight , the quiet earth still stands up as one of the more compelling movies ever produced on the subject of personal apocalypse . plus it ' s got an ending that ' s a lot of fun to argue about , so be sure to watch this movie with a friend or two . ( preferably one of the intelligent ones . )\nthe quiet earth\nobviously is deeply felt . it ' s no accident that these tragic visions of depopulation come from a tiny country that has declared itself a nuclear - free zone . or that one of the central characters is maori , a tribe very nearly extinguished by the early white settlers , then earnestly\nsaved\nand assimilated in this century , at the cost of their tribal culture .\nit was a genuine word - of - mouth phenomenon . it was the first film in new zealand to have that sort of momentum . i remember it quite clearly . it was a new zealand film that created such a buzz that people had to go and see it .\nonce were warriors director lee tamahori plans to make his first film in new zealand for 20 years . tamahori has not made a film in his home country since once were warriors in 1994 , but he plans to shoot an adaptation of witi ihimaera story bulibasha this year .\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\nall the survivors in the film were people whose death was a sin . i would say that joanne and api were real people , but we can assume they too were in the afterlife .\nall of the balloons in a cluster lifted him up and took him on a ride over the city , reminiscent of the same occurrence in pixar ' s animated film up ( 2009 ) .\n, the problem persisted in the depiction of the chaste relationship between belafonte and inger stevens and was a chief criticism of the film by the more liberal critics .\nnot only do i agree ,\nsaid belafonte ( in the arnold shaw biography ,\nzac hobson , july 5 th . one - there has been a malfunction in project flashlight . two \u0096 it seems i am the only person left on earth .\nthe day the earth stood still is a missed opportunity for sure - you ' ll leave the cinema not enlightened or entertained , but wondering just how mankind ' s last stand could wind up being so fatally underwhelming .\nin the beachhouse in the film ' s conclusion , george fortescu maximilian ' maxim ' de winter ( laurence olivier ) recounted the traumatic event of his life to his new wife ( joan fontaine ) .\ntelluride horror show was fantastic to my film and a wonderful place to have our world premiere . great staff , full crowds , and a beautiful town . couldn ' t ask for a better experience .\n- michael peer , director ( doll ) , telluride horror show short film selection\nzac hobson , july 5th . one : there has been a malfunction in project flashlight with devastating results . two : it seems i am the only person left on earth .\nit didn\u2019t work to completely eliminate nolan\u2019s nerves in the weeks preceding the film\u2019s release . would the audience be able to follow the science ?

story by bram stoker , who has evidently allowed his imagination full play in its wild and weird incidents . the book has met with favour in england , and is now published in book form in america . it will soon appear as a newspaper serial .\nthe ruins of dracula ' s fortress , poenari . photograph : catalin petolea / alamy / alamy\ndracula ' s curse abandons the adventure game elements of its immediate predecessor and returns to the stage based action platform style of the first game . unlike castlevania , however , dracula ' s curse is not strictly linear . after completing the first level and at several other points throughout the game , the player is given a choice of paths to follow . the choices made by the player in these circumstances can have a profound impact on how the game unfolds . there are fifteen levels in total .\nherodotus of judah : a coptic priest and healer in cairo , egypt . possesses the knowledge but , due to his old age , not the ability required to release the curse dracula has put upon mina .\nthere are four different endings to dracula ' s curse . which one the player receives depends on which additional character they beat the game with , if any . each ending will start with the line\ntrevor made many sacrifices . the long fight is over . dracula is dead and all other spirits are asleep .\ncastlevania iii : dracula ' s curse is the first game in the series to lay an explicit connection with dracula and the real life vlad iii . the game draws inspiration from bram stoker ' s novel and states that dracula is an evil sorcerer which was also brought forward in the novel . the only difference being that in the novel he became a vampire after his death whereas in the game he got his powers from an evil deity . this is further implied by the setting which is the 15th century , implying to take place in 1476 , the year that the real \u0163epe\u015f died ; this is also the official date given in the series ' timeline which was published later .\nbased on bram stoker ' s classic 1897 novel , this film from francis ford coppola and screenwriter james victor hart offers a full - blooded portrait of the immortal transylvanian vampire . the major departure from stoker is one of motivation as count dracula ( gary oldman ) is motivated more by romance than by bloodlust . he punctures the necks as a means of avenging the death of his wife in the 15th century , and when he comes to london , it is specifically to meet heroine mina harker ( winona ryder ) , the living image of his late wife ( ryder plays a dual role , as do several of her costars ) . anthony hopkins is obsessed vampire hunter van helsing , while keanu reeves takes on the role of jonathan harker , and tom waits plays bug - eating renfield . bram stoker ' s dracula was the winner of three academy awards .\ndracula ' s final form in this game bares a striking similarity to statues of the sumerian demon pazuzu .\nupon learning of an antediluvian manuscript detailing a strange rite alleged to return souls from the dead , dracula seeks to revive his former lover ' s soul . johnathan harker , a disciple of van helsing , sets out to combat the terror of dracula ' s power . he sends a letter to his professor detailing dracula ' s intention regarding the manuscript and his plan to resurrect his lover ' s soul into the body of johnathan ' s fianc\u00e9e , mina murray , chosen for her remarkable resemblance to his lover . johnathan ' s letter arrives but johnathan does not return , implying that he succumbed to dracula ' s power .\nanother supposed contradiction is that the game intro states that dracula was able to revive dark gods from the underworld and borrowed their powers for his evil goals , supposedly overwriting the statement previously given in the instruction booklet . the dark gods and the evil deity were most likely never supposed to be the same character ; however , a castlevania comic that chronicled the timespan between dracula ' s curse and curse of darkness once again makes references to these dark gods ( being referred to as\nthe evil lords\n) and states that dracula merely used their power to get even stronger .\n\u2018dracula , \u2019 by bram stoker ; hutch in son and co . , london , per george robertson and co . \u2014 this book is positively unique . we confess to not having conscientiously read every page ; for , after having perused the passage which will be presently transcribed , sampling the remaining two o r three hundred proved equally paralysing .\ncastlevania iii : dracula ' s curse is the sixth installment in the castlevania series and third to be released on the nintendo entertainment system . it was published by konami in japan in 1989 , and in north america in 1990 . in europe , it was published by palcom software in 1992 .\na canadian edition of bram stoker\u2019s \u201cdracula\u201d will appear this month . the author has produced a strong and dramatic story of a human vampire , which has attracted wide attention in england and america . many competent critics have pronounced it the most daringly successful work of imagination that has seen the light for some time . it is not a story for people with weak nerves , who are afraid of the gruesome .\norlok | marja z . tepes | elizabeth b\u00e1thory | blacula | daddy dracula | dracula ( batman ) | draculaura\nduring his stay in the castle , his host ' s nature soon becomes obvious to jonathan harker . he realizes that count dracula does not reflect on the mirror and he watches dracula escape his castle through the walls , like a beast . he also feels dracula ' s great strength and finds out that dracula himself was the driver that took him there ; harker notices dracula has no servants at all .\nthe music for castlevania iii : dracula ' s curse was composed by hidenori maezawa , jun funahashi and yukie morimoto . the original japanese version contained a specialized sound chip . this chip added an extra two square waves ( each with eight pulse width settings instead of the standard four ) and a sawtooth wave .\nalong with the big screen , dracula has appeared in a multitude of books and comics as well . dracula was integrated into the comic universe with his first appearance coming in historical suspense # 7 , which was published in march of 1951 . this version of the famous vampire is directly based off the very famous novel , bram stoker ' s dracula . dracula ' s popularity had eventually earned him his own title in marvel comics titled tomb of dracula , which first appeared in april of 1972 . the famous vampire had finally reached mainstream comics , causing him to be a formidable supervillan throughout his years in the marvel universe . the reason dracula was not adapted to comics for so long was due to the comics code authority , which prevented characters from other literary works being implemented into comics . to this day dracula is still being written about in the marvel comics in the death of dracula series .\nin 2006 konami released a port of castlevania iii : dracula ' s curse for cell phones . the port is faithful to the original in terms of graphics , being almost identical . the biggest difference is that the game contains an easy mode , similar to the 1993 japanese re - release of the original castlevania .\nwhat\nbram stoker ' s dracula ' s curse\nis putting out for us is in one way very much like\nblade\n. there ' s a whole society of vampires out there in the night , and they ' re not hungry for pasta . no , they ' re going after people blood , which is pretty much what you ' d expect . and of course , as long as there ' s a dracula involved somewhere in this , there ' s naturally a van helsing that follows shortly after . this particular van helsing has founded a pocket unit of vampire - hunting mercenaries ( on what , monopoly money ? ) that tracks , pursues , and ultimately kills every vampire that so much as breathes in their direction . this unit is called the nine , and the nine and the vampires , represented by a cabal called the vampire council , are about to set up peace talks , which go off with surprising ease .\ndracula is a horror novel about the ancient count or\nboyar\ndracula from the mountain slopes of transylvania . the novel is written in first person and some scholars say that it is based on hidden knowledge by stoker himself ; he was a follower of occultism and was part of the golden dawn ' s rosicrucian secret society .\n. mina describes the doctor as of medium height , strong build , with red hair , and eyes that change along with his mood ( stoker , 259 ) . van helsing is used in this narrative as a foil character to dracula . his kind and goodly nature as described by doctor seward is the counter to dracula ' s dark and manipulative characteristics\nin the chapel where he renounced god , dracula lies dying in an ancient demonic form . he asks mina to give him peace . they share a kiss as the candles adorning the chapel light up , dracula turns back to his younger self , and mina shoves the knife through his heart . the mark on her forehead disappears as dracula ' s curse is lifted . she decapitates him , and finally gazes up at the fresco of vlad and elisabeta ascending to heaven together .\nthe son of count dracula . he changed his name to alucard as a sign that he opposed his father ' s way of life , and infiltrated the underground of wallachia when dracula dispatched his armies .

gardens , is a series of extremely interesting papers and diaries , arranged in sequence by the author . one of the most curious and striking of recent productions is a revival of a mediaeval superstition , the old legend of the \u201cwere - wolf , \u201d as illustrated and modernised by mr . bram stoker , in the book which he entitles \u201cdracula . \u201d there are two things which are remarkable in the novel \u2013 the first is the confident reliance on superstition as furnishing the groundwork of a modern story ; and the second , more significant still , is the bold adaptation of the legend to such ordinary spheres of latter - day existance as the harbour of whitby and hampstead - heath . \u201cdracula , \u201d at all events , is one of the most weird and spirit - quelling romances which have appeared for years . it begins in masterly fashion in the wids of transylvania , and introduces to us an ordinary solicitor\u2019s clerk , engaged on a mission to a count who lives in its most remote fastness .\ncoppola ' s remake throws so much fancy technique at its story that the usually foolproof drama at its core gets drowned in a tide of images . it ' s not scary , it ' s not suspenseful and its eroticism is largely theoretical .\ncastel dracula is a 1970s brick block , with a\ndracula\nsign above the door . there ' s a bust of bram stoker in the car park , and a stuffed wolf in reception .\nthis hotel ,\nsays the guide ,\nis the only hotel in romania with a reception on the first floor .\ni think he hates this hotel . the manager is terrifying , but in a very dull way . he is young and thin and his eyes bulge over my shoulder , at something i cannot see .\nthis hotel is about the dracula from the novel , not the real dracula ,\nhe says .\nwe get passing trade from businessmen who don ' t want to stay at an ibis . nobody thinks we are a normal hotel .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nbram stoker , sir henry irving\u2019s manager , is engaged in letters as well as in theatrical matters , and has written a blood - curdling romance of vampires and black magic , called \u201cdracula , \u201d which is published by the doubleday & mcclure company . it belongs to the order of \u201cflames , \u201d \u201cthe statement of stella maberley , \u201d \u201cthe carissima , \u201d etc . , not to mention such masterpieces as \u201ca strange story , \u201d \u201cthrawn janet , \u201d and \u201cthe horla . \u201d no doubt mr . stoker\u2019s fiends are very horrible and obscene , but the story lacks the touch of imagination which is indispensable for producing shudders . moreover , it is far too long and although the author has obviated this fault as far as possible by an ingenious use of the wilkie collins composite style , the interest is not maintained through so long a stretch of supernaturalism .\nbased on bram stoker ' s classic , this epic horror follows a team of elite vampire hunters led by colonel rufus king and jacob van helsing as they infiltrate the dark underworld to battle the ruthless vampire clan led by countess bathorly . starring : tom downey , eliza swenson , rhett giles , christina rosenberg produced by : david michael latt , david rimawi , sherri strain , rick walker directed by : leigh scott written by : leigh scott cinematography by : steven parker edited by : leigh scott music by : eliza swenson\nhundreds of published novels can attribute their aspirations to that of dracula . one such novel is titled the historian , in which a professor named paul and his daughter go on a search for the tomb of vlad tepes , otherwise known as dracula . the novel is unique in which it uses oral accounts and letters to form a cohesive story . the historical context also offers a different perspective in which vlad tepes was a real prince in the 15th century . due to the fact that the main character is a professor , parts of the novel delve into the myth and folklore of tepes and dracula . peter and his partner helen travel all throughout the world , uncovering mysteries such as the order of the dragon and several other relations to dracula . although this adaptation is far different from the original myth , elizabeth kotsova ' s novel is heavily influenced by bram stoker ' s vampire , with both endings resulting in a puncture of the heart .\nwilhemina \u201cmina\u201d harker : young woman who lives in london as a school teacher . she is engaged to jonathan harker and after nursing him back to health , she marries him . mina is the one who fits the pieces around dracula\u2019s mystery and helps the crew to understand and destroy him . after lucy , mina becomes dracula\u2019s object of interest and is fed on as well as feeds on dracula . a curse is put upon her to do whatever the count pleases . she is seen as an innocent and typical well - behaved victorian woman . however , it could be argued that she represents a woman of the new age as she shows manly initiative and a dark connection with drac [ 4 ] .\nand it ' s back to england , to look for the flesh -

- i can ' t be sure .\nthere are holes in this plot like no tomorrow . let ' s take a rundown of the troubles with bevilacqua ' s script . you may want to grab a snack - - this could take a while .\nwe have been reminded how easy it was in the ages of credulity to avoid overstepping the boundaries of belief . but in mr . bram stoker a writer has arisen who intrepidly assumes that mediaeval gullibility is in full survival . he appeals to his readers with the most horrid , yet in some respects the most ludicrous , romance of vampiredom to be found in literature . it is a bold attempt to concentrate the fables and superstitions which have existed in eastern europe especially for many centuries into a shape sufficiently like reality to cheat the imagination of the nineteenth century . can the modern reader be induced to bestow a passing belief upon vampires any more than upon sylphs and salamanders ? where most men would answer no , mr . stoker says yes , and confidently tries the experiment . it may be argued that he does no more than imitate the hardihood of sheridan le fanu , but that gifted author contented himself with an outline , and never ventured upon the elaboration of detail with which mr . stoker surrounds his vampire count dracula and the victims upon whom that monster preys in modern england .\nwhen victor hugo said of beaudelaire that he had added a new shudder to literature he indicated an achievement which countless novelists have since wished to make their own . most of them have failed . mr . bram stoker has succeeded . \u201cdracula\u201d is a book of horrors . in some passages the tension is equal to that of the most agonizing nightmare , but the whole work is kept well in hand ; consistent from start to finish . it leaves an impression of life and not of mere invention . the author is daring in more ways than one . choosing a human vampire for the pivot on which his extraordinary drama is to revolve , he has realized that an atmosphere of graveyard mystery must envelop the monster . those who have read \u201ca mystery of the campagna , \u201d that clever little story of a vampire by an author who has preferred to remain anonymous , will recall the startling effects which may be gained by an exploitation of the mysterious motive alone . but mr . bram stoker brings his count dracula from the bleak castle in the carpathians which shrouds his evil doings in gloom , and turns him loose in england , there to carry out his unspeakable plans amid people and scenes as modern and matter of fact as those of the vampire\u2019s home are strange and romantic . the spell of the author\u2019s grisly tale is thereby imperilled , but thanks to the skill with which he writes , it remains unbroken . we watch the conflict between dracula and the group if english people leagued against him with too intense an interest in the amazing spectacle to be at all disconcerted by the impossibilities it involves .\njoin the bloodbath at brighton ' s zombie walk or get spooked on a ghost hunt in york , europe ' s most haunted city . prepare for your spine to tingle with gemma bowes ' picks of spooky events across britain\none of the most interesting and exciting of recent novels is mr . bram stoker\u2019s \u201cdracula . \u201d it deals with the ancient mediaeval vampire legend , and in no english work of fiction has this legend been so brilliantly treated . the scene is laid partly in transylvania and partly in england . the first fifty - four pages , which give the journal of jonathan harker after leaving vienna until he makes up his mind to escape from castle dracula , are in their weird power altogether unrivalled in recent fiction . the only book which to my knowledge at all compares with them is \u201cthe waters of hercules , \u201d by e . d . gerard , which also treats of a wild and little known portion of eastern europe . without revealing the plot of the story , i may say that jonathan harker , whose diary first introduces the vampire count , is a young solicitor sent by his employer to castle dracula to arrange for the purchase of a house and estate in england .\nafter jonathan and mina return to london , jonathan and van helsing lead the others to carfax abbey , where they destroy the count ' s boxes of soil . dracula enters the asylum , where he kills renfield for warning mina of his presence . he visits mina , who is staying in seward ' s quarters while the others hunt dracula , and confesses that he murdered lucy and has been terrorizing mina ' s friends . a confused and angry mina admits that she still loves him and remembers her previous life as elisabeta . at her insistence , dracula begins transforming her into a vampire . the hunters burst into the bedroom , and dracula claims mina as his bride before escaping . as mina changes , van helsing hypnotizes her and learns via her connection with dracula that he is sailing home in his last remaining box . the hunters depart for varna to intercept him , but dracula reads mina ' s mind and evades them . the hunters split up ; van helsing and mina travel to the borgo pass and the castle , while the others try to stop the gypsies transporting the count .\nafter jonathan and mina return to london , jonathan and van helsing lead the others to carfax abbey , where they destroy the count ' s boxes of soil . dracula enters the asylum , where he kills renfield for warning mina of his presence . he visits mina , who is staying in seward ' s quarters while the others hunt dracula , and confesses that he murdered lucy and has been terrorizing mina ' s friends . a confused and angry mina admits that she still loves him and remembers her previous life as elisabeta . at her insistence , dracula begins transforming her into a vampire . the hunters burst into the bedroom , and dracula claims mina as his bride before escaping . as mina changes , van helsing hypnotizes her and learns via her connection with dracula that he is sailing home in his last remaining box . the hunters depart for varna to intercept him , but dracula reads mina ' s mind and evades them . the hunters split up ; van helsing and mina travel to the borgo pass and the castle , while the others try to stop the gypsies transporting the count .\nthe recollections of this weird and ghostly tale will doubtless haunt us for some time to come . it would be unfair to the author to divulge the plot . we therefore restrict ourselves to the statement that the eerie chapters are written and strung together with very considerable art and cunning , and also with unmistakable literary power . tribute must also be paid to the rich imagination of which mr . bram stoker here gives liberal evidence . persons of small courage and weak nerves should confine their reading of these gruesome pages strictly to the hours between dawn and sunset .\nit is said of mrs . radcliffe that when writing her now almost forgotten romances she shut herself up in absolute seclusion , and fed upon raw beef , in order to give her work the desired atmosphere of gloom , tragedy and terror . if one had no assurance to the contrary one might well suppose that a similar method and regimen had been adopted by mr . bram stoker while writing his new novel \u201cdracula . \u201d in seeking for a parallel to this weird , powerful , and horrorful story our mind reverts to such tales as \u201cthe mysteries of udolpho , \u201d \u201cfrankenstein , \u201d \u201cwuthering heights , \u201d \u201cthe fall of the house of usher , \u201d and \u201cmarjery of quether . \u201d but \u201cdracula\u201d is even more appalling in its gloomy fascination than any one of these .\nand it ' s on to castel dracula , the dracula - themed hotel . my guide isn ' t keen . he ' s not exactly crucifix - waving , garlic - tossing unkeen , but he does mutter something about\nexpectations\n. but i beg , and we drive through more mountains . eventually i see an enormous neon crucifix . romania invented the neon crucifix . they are everywhere , even at traffic lights . on the next mountain is castel dracula . the presence of the crucifix , my guide says , is a co - incidence .\nno interview during this week would be complete without a reference to the jubilee , so i asked mr . stoker , as a londoner of nearly twenty years standing , what he thought of the celebrations . \u201ceveryone , \u201d he said , \u201chas been proud that the great day went off so successfully . we have had a magnificent survey of the empire , and last week\u2019s procession brought home , as nothing else could have done , the sense of the immense variety of the queen\u2019s dominions . \u201d\nreaders of \u201cdracula\u201d will remember that the most famous character in it is dr . van helsing , the dutch physician , who , by extraordinary skill , self - devotion , and labour , finally outwits and destroys the vampire . mr . stoker told me that van helsing is founded on a real character . in a recent leader on \u201cdracula , \u201d published in a provincial newspaper , it is suggested that high moral lessons might be gathered from the book . i asked mr . stoker whether he had written with a purpose , but on this point he would give no definite answer , \u201ci suppose that every book of the kind must contain some lesson , \u201d he remarked ; \u201cbut i prefer that readers should find it out for themselves . \u201d\none source of triumph of mr . stoker\u2019s triumph is to be found in the good faith with which he advances his terrible situations . he sets forth slowly , carefully , with due attention to every little detail and thus weaves around his hideous central figure a tissue of perfectly natural things . the honest men who are fighting the vampire may do incredible deeds ; they may visit burial vaults at midnight and go through scenes which we must leave mr . stoker to describe ; but they and their performances are treated with a calm particularity that is in itself impressive and convincing . then he has considerable ability in the representation o f in the representation of objects and happenings , so that the reader really sees them . witness the account given by jonathan harker , one of the characters , of count dracula\u2019s mode of going about the castle in which the englishman is temporarily a prisoner .\nthe latest additions to messrs . hutchinson\u2019s colonial library include stories grave and gay , sensational and domestic . pre - eminently striking is bram stoker\u2019s \u201cdracula , \u201d notwithstanding that it is in great part a reversion to old - fashioned methods . its plot is unfolded by letters and diaries in regular painstaking fashion , after the manner of wilkie collins . as for the plot itself , it is ghastly beyond belief . not even sheridan lefanu in his wildest moments ever conceived anything to equal it for haunting horror . it is a story of human vampires and demoniacal possession , of midnight apparitions and life - in - death . the book must be carefully kept out of the way of anyone with weak nerves ; but for those who can stand it there is a fearful joy in the gradual making clear of the tremendous mysteries involved . the art of the author is of quality high enough celare artem . there is no attempt at fine writing , and the simple details almost bring conviction . if they quite brought it , farewell to the reader\u2019s peace of mind !\nin the final stage , after losing to dracula , instead of starting back at the level ' s second section , the player begins right outside of the castle keep . this is another factor said to make the japanese game easier .\nin reply to further questions , mr . stoker said that he was born in dublin , and that his work had laid for thirteen years in the civil service . he is an m . a . of trinity college , dublin . his brother - in - law is mr . frankfort moore , one of the most popular young writers of the day . he began his literary work early . the first thing he published was a book on \u201cthe duties of clerks of petty sessions . \u201d next came a series of children\u2019s stories , \u201cunder the sunset , \u201d published by sampson low . then followed the book by which he has hitherto been best known , \u201cthe snake\u2019s pass . \u201d messrs . constable have published in their \u201cacme\u201d library a fascinating little volume called \u201cthe watter\u2019s mou , \u201d and this with \u201cthe shoulder of shasta , \u201d completes mr . stoker\u2019s list of novels . he has been in london for some nineteen years , and believes that london is the best possible place for a literary man . \u201ca writer will find a chance here if he is good for anything ; and recognition is only a matter of time . \u201d mr . stoker speaks of the generosity shown by literary men to one another in a tone which shows that he , at least , is not disposed to quarrel with the critics ."]}

in involving golden books . the golden book spin - offs of the tv series and the feature were estimated to have generated nearly a half million sales by january 1973 .\nwhile the screenplay by t . j . cimfel and david white eventually proves unsatisfying in its plot revelations , the film certainly holds your attention thanks to schindler ' s tautly paced direction and riegraf ' s emotionally nuanced performance . the violence is more bloodily graphic than it needs to be , with the result that intruders ( screened at festivals under the more evocative title shut in ) feels more like a familiar exploitation item than the sophisticated thriller it might have been .\nall the cast members went on to appear in many film and television series , both in australia and overseas , except garry pankhurst -

known as an outspoken sydney talkback radio host , appeared as a villain and performed a rendition of \u2018the wild colonial boy\u2019 in ep . 41 , \u2018honest jack\u2019 , his first major acting role . his part in the episode led directly to him being cast in a lead role opposite googie withers in the film the nickel queen . john mccallum , who was also producer of the nickel queen , said\nthe opening titles showed a scene of sonny calling skippy by whistling through a gumleaf , and skippy responding . the cast members then received an individual credit , with the curious exception of liza goddard - for some reason she was never included in the opening titles . the final credit , naturally , was for \u2018skippy the bush kangaroo\u2019 . the opening neatly demonstrated the unique relationship between sonny and skippy , and showcased the bushland setting . the closing credits were superimposed over a scene of the helicopter on the helipad .\nthe first series commenced with a \u2018teaser\u2019 before the opening titles , but for the second and third series the \u2018teaser\u2019 was dropped and the episode started with the stock opening . after four episodes , the opening was altered , commencing with ep . 44 \u2018the raft\u2019 . the same structure was retained , the only change being different scenes for the actors , necessitated in part by the fact that garry pankhurst , and to a lesser extent ken james , were noticeably older . there was still no credit for liza goddard , however on the closing credits liza was now listed with the other cast members ( whether she appeared in the episode or not ) , whereas in the first series her credit was included with the guest actors .\na self - financed pilot episode in 1966 was aimed squarely at an overseas market . although australian television at this time was still in black - and - white , skippy was filmed in colour on 16mm film to increase its international appeal . however , john mccallum first offered the show to australian frank packer , head of a media empire that included the nine network . according to mccallum , despite the fact that the sound and then the picture packed up during the screening , packer agreed to back the series .\nfind all the best television shows from the other side of the pond in our us tv store and catch the latest shows in our 2014 ' s hottest tv page .\nunderwater photography was done by ron and valerie taylor , then the go -

style underwater gear , a mini sub used to explore a wreck for gold bullion .\nthere is some ambiguity around the creative genius behind skippy , although general agreement that actor and producer john mccallum ( 1918\u20132010 ) , film director lee robinson ( 1923\u20132003 ) and lawyer bob austin , who together formed fauna productions , all played a key role along with producer on the first series , dennis hill .\nduring filming of the second series , a major breakthrough occurred - a sale was made to the united states . breakfast cereal manufacturer kellogg\u2019s entered into a syndication deal which would see skippy eventually being shown on more than 160 american television stations , commencing in january 1969 . at that stage the series was already being seen in 51 countries , and would be screened in 85 countries by the end of the year , and ultimately would reach over 128 countries . lee robinson said skippy had proved that australia need not confine itself to the local market : \u201cobviously our artists and technicians have been producing the quality necessary for world success . \u201d\n29 . tv week , oct 4 , 1969 . 30 . tv times , april 22 , 1970 . 31 . tv week , nov 7 , 1970 . 32 . ibid . 33 . tv times , jan 6 , 1971 . 34 . \u2018gentler times\u2019 , skippy dvd ( umbrella entertainment david0202 and david0640 ) . 35 .\n3 . \u201cthe journey\u201d ( safar ) , live , 35mm , 34 min , b / w ; cinematographer , mehrd\u0101d fa\u1e35imi and firuz malekz\u0101deh ; screenwriter and director , bahr\u0101m bay\u017c\u0101\u02bei ( winner of golden statue , special prize of the international jury , 7th international film festival for children and young adults , tehran ) .\nthat crime spooked the suburbs of america . it seemed to be the evil fruit of a society in flux , rootless , godless , unpatriotic . and macdonald was the very opposite of all that . a graduate of princeton , he was the embodiment of the all -

the house used in the series was not constructed until after the pilot had been made . the end credits feature a view of the ( different ) ranger hq instead of the usual helicopter on the helipad scene , and the original opening titles were later substituted for the series two stock opening .\nthe same team as featured in the long running television series turn up in the feature film , including chief ranger of waratah national park matt hammond ( ed devereaux ) , his sons mark ( garry pankhurst ) and sonny ( ken james ) , along with a flight ranger jerry king ( tony bonner ) and clancy , a teenager girl who works at ranger headquarters ( liza goddard ) .\nthe third series ran to only 13 episodes , making a total of 91 , and production was wound up in september 1969 . it was never intended to make any more , partly because 91 episodes was considered enough , and partly because garry pankhurst was growing up . john mccallum , in his book life with googie , later said 91 was too many , and they should have stopped at the end of the second series . the reason was that most countries would only purchase selected episodes , ranging from a minimum of thirteen to a maximum of 78 .\non the day of her brother ' s funeral , a trio of intruders ( joshua mikel , martin starr , jack kesy ) break in , assuming that the house is empty , to look for the large cache of cash rumored to be there . at first rudely surprised and then amused when they discover that beth is not only present but also suffering from a psychological condition that prevents her from escaping even through an open door , they threaten to kill her if she doesn ' t tell them where the money is hidden .\nthe name given to john ' s daughter is more likely a fanboy in -

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

be meal .\none of the big winners at jiff 2013 , dear dolphin is a very attractive film that deals with the issues of love , loss , and grief . director kang jina explores such weighty topics well by constructing the fragility of each protagonist as unique according to their psychology , but the decision to employ non - linear techniques dilutes the emotional intensity of the story . yet with a great performance by lee yeong - jin , as well as some truly beautiful sequences involving potent water symbolism , dear dolphin is a thought - provoking film on the nature of life , death , and spirituality .\nthere ' s no denying kang ' s natural ability as both a storyteller and a stylist . but for all of dear dolphin ' s merits , and there are many , it is slightly undermined by a pervading sense of familiarity . the film ' s well - rendered elements have all appeared elsewhere before and there ' s a certain lack of conviction in its conclusion . kang has the makings of a great director but it may take another feature until she can harness her enormous talent behind a more gripping story . until then , dear dolphin is an impressive example of filmmaking with just the faintest twang of a hollow core .\nthe bottlenose dolphin shake the octopus in their jaws before slamming it onto the water ' s surface to wear out the creature ' s suckered arms .\nthe most anticipated film of the jeonju international film festival ' s korean competition this year , kang ji - na ' s feature dear dolphin , was also the most polished . with its themes of love , loss and loneliness , as well as its vibrant colors , strong mise - en - scene and well - judged flights of fancy , its appeal is universal .\nextraordinary images have surfaced showing a dolphin carrying an unexpected passenger on its back as it leaps from the hastings river in port macquarie , on the new south wales north coast .\nwill co -

gyu . active across the big and small screen , lee recently appeared in the indie dear dolphin ( 2013 ) , the maritime thriller haemoo . . .\n\u201cdear dolphin\u201d is a sensitive story about dark and gloomy moments of loss and grief . the movie is not a pleasant experience , but this is an engaging drama none the less , and i must point out that it is not entirely devoid of humor and laughs while quietly observing the pain and sadness inside its characters . it is difficult to let your loved one go , but , as some of you have experienced , we eventually do that regardless of whether we want it or not \u2013 and we move on as the living .\n\u201cdear dolphin\u201d , a calm south korean character drama about loss and grief , shows us in the beginning a young lively couple who is about to have a dinner together at their small but cozy apartment . hyeok - gun ( lee hee - joon ) and cha - kyeong ( han ye - ri ) are deeply in love , and we instantly sense their mutual affection as they warmly and playfully interact with each other . their life is a bit hard as both of them have to work to support their household , but they are happy in spite of that , and it looks like nothing can possibly separate them .\nhyeok - geun ( played by lee hee - joon ) is a nurse in a long - term relationship with cha - kyeong ( played by han ye - ri ) . he also spends a lot of time , by proxy , with cha - kyeong ' s best friend gi -

the problem is that the film ' s deeply personal subject matter is about failing to come to terms with grief . it ' s about as painful an emotion as i can think of , and if the film ' s goal was to impart this despondency onto my own person , i had to admit that it succeeded . as much as i would like to , i can ' t fault any individual aspect of the film as being insincere to its characters or larger story , . . .\ndear dolphin excels when dealing with the subject matter of grief , and the variety of forms which it takes . the emotion is a problematic one to portray , yet director kang succeeds in capturing the different complexity of each protagonist . hyeok - geun\u2019s internal strife is articulated through his continual self admonishment and his self - imposed alienation , while the insomnia inspired hallucinations of cha - kyeong reveal his inability to accept her death . gi - ok meanwhile cannot cope with the loneliness of her best friend\u2019s passing , heightened by her guilt over desiring hyeok - geun . both characters blame themselves for not doing something \u2013 anything \u2013 to change the past , while cha -

kyeong dies by a car accident , leaving her boy friend hyeok - geun behind in the greatest sorrow . one year since she died , hyeok - geun is still waiting for cha - kyeong to come back . denying the reality , hyeok - geun builds a fantasy in his mind where he and cha - kyeong secretly share the everyday life . to wake up hyeok - geun from cha - kyeong ' s illusion , cha - kyeong ' s best friend , gi - ok who was secretly in love with him , puts herself in the same accident with cha - kyeong , . . .\nto stop the film from sinking beneath the increasingly fraught emotional tension , director kang employs a non - linear structure that harks back to when the threesome were happy . the technique certainly brings levity to the story , as well as further conveying the sense of loss through the contrast between the past and present . indeed , the director utilises her wonderful sense of colour and composition during the flashback sequences that feature vibrant warm reds and yellows , in complete opposition to the washed - out palette following cha - kyeong\u2019s death . yet it also serves to usurp the character development in the here and now , as plot threads that took time to establish are often dumped only to later reappear , or to never return at all . the confusion that arises as a result of narrative jumping through time frames results in a distancing between the characters and the audience as it becomes difficult to fully engage and empathise with their respective situations . this is ultimately dear dolphin \u2018s downfall , as in a bid to keep the film \u2018light\u2019 with traditional melodramatic conventions , the powerful emotional resonance of each character becomes lost .\nunable to get over the loss of his dear departed , hyeok - geun imagines his bubbly young wife has returned to him . his fragile state has prompted him to delude himself , or has it ? the deceased cha - kyeong also appears in her own scenes , which exist outside of the man ' s imagination . during these segments she interacts with a middle - aged man in her very own purgatory , seeking counsel about her continued interactions with her husband , even after having shuffled off her mortal coil . can she not let him go or is she scared to leave him alone ?\nthe water motif appears early on , as the married couple move into their apartment . the fishtank , which serves as the centerpiece of their living room , is ever present , and as the articles around it move , change or disappear completely , it remains . it ' s a life giving force unaffected by the events befalling the film ' s characters . as a dolphin , cha - kyeong floats through a larger body of water , symbolically present in the film as a gateway between the here and hereafter .\nwith her short - cropped hair and lively personality , han ye - ri , as cha - keyong , is reminiscent of carey mulligan . following her death , she appears in the same blue dress throughout the rest of the film . this visual clue reminds us of her passing but the blue color of her garment is also important . it has a calming effect on her husband and also matches the bodies of water she frequently finds herself beside , be they fish tanks , aquariums or pools . she is of course the dolphin of the title .\nhyeok - geun ' s life is thrown into turmoil when his young wife cha - kyeong dies after being hit by a car . a year later her friend , who is also still devastated by her loss , not to mention guilt - ridden for having lent her the bike that the accident , visits him , asking him to accompany her on a trip to her burial site . as they both seeks to come to terms with the holes in their lives , they become close to one another . however , kyeok -

ok ( lee yeong - jin ( \uc774\uc601\uc9c4 ) , cha - kyeong\u2019s best friend , who simultaneously hates herself for her involvement in the accident and also for secretly coveting hyeok - geun . as their grief becomes ever greater , and reality and fantasy become difficult to separate , gi - ok and hyeok - geun must learn to overcome their emotional trauma lest it consumes them .\nas empathy becomes increasingly diluted , it therefore falls to the actors to keep the emotional intensity sharp in the present . in this respect it is lee yeong - jin who gives the standout performance as gi - ok , as the actress appears evermore fraught with guilt , stress and grief . the anguish on gi - ok\u2019s face as she reaches out to hyeok - geun for emotional and physical support is sincere , while the continual rejection of her advances become heartbreaking as she sinks lower and lower . lee hee - joon and han ye - ri give competent performances as hyeok - geun and cha - kyeong , but they are lacking the chemistry and passion that are sorely required when exploring the death of a loved one . as such the film quickly becomes gi - ok\u2019s story as it is her emotional distress that is the most fully developed , and is her resolution rather than hyeok - geun\u2019s fragile mental state that takes precedence .\nluckily director kang also injects the film with some stunning cinematography in relation to scenes involving cha - kyeong and hyeok - geun , particularly when employing the water symbolism that is so inherent to the narrative . the scenes are absolutely gorgeous and appear more like a painting than a film . ironically the surreal and otherworldly sequences further complicate the narrative , but when scenes are this beautiful it\u2019s hard to complain . often accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack , the conveyance of water as a source of life , death , and even purgatory are lovely to behold , and it is these scenes that resonate long after the film and provide thought -

kyeong goes to her close friend gi - ok ( lee yeong - jin ) because of her floristic work she has to deliver to gi - ok and then returns to the home by gi - ok\u2019s bicycle at night , she is killed in an unfortunate car accident , and her death is a devastating blow to both gi - ok and hyeok - geun .\na year has passed . although they try to move on with their respective daily lives , gi - ok and hyeok - geun do not seem to recover from their loss at all . hyeok - geun looks particularly troubled ; as the people around him begin to notice from his blank face , he always looks tired and deprived of sleep , and that sometimes affects his work at the physical rehabilitation center . the memories with cha - kyeong always hovers over his mind , and he is tormented by the fact that he could have prevented the accident if he had just let cha - kyeong stay at her friend\u2019s house during that night .\nand then , he begins to see cha - kyeong around him . he knows it is not real , but he willingly accepts this hallucination because he has missed her so much . is she just a hallucination or a real ghost ? we see cha - kyeong going around a local aquarium for watching dolphins at one point , and she comes across a maintenance guy who later functions as her therapist listening to her in his office . the movie does not tells us what exactly is going on , but han ye - ri and ki joo - bong , who plays a maintenance guy , make their scenes engaging , and we listen to them even while we feel baffled about what the hell they are doing .\nmeanwhile , the movie slowly reveals an odd triangle between its main characters . like hyeok - geun , gi - ok feels lots of guilt about her best friend\u2019s death because she was also indirectly responsible for the accident . she casually lent her bicycle to cha - kyeong even though she knew it needed repair due to a brake problem , and that fact has been gnawing her heart even though she had admitted her fault during the investigation . to make the matters worse , cha - kyeon\u2019s frigidly gentle elder sister ( lee eun - ah ) still cannot forgive her ; she frequently visits gi - ok to remind that to her , and that hurts gi - ok a lot \u2013 and she has no one to talk with about her pain .\nwhen gi - ok visits the cemetery for remembering her friend , she happens to meet hyeok - geun . they are pretty awkward to each other at first , but , when they later have a dinner together with several glasses of alcohol , they begin to open their mouth , and they talk a lot about cha - kyeong while sharing their feeling of loss . in the end , they find themselves having sex in a hotel room during that night .\nnow you may think you know where the story is going , but the movie defies your expectation , and it does not push its characters into predictable plot . because they have no idea about how to deal with their difficult situation , they continue to struggle with their respective problems , and the lack of communication between them brings more troubles and hurts to each of them . hyeok - geun keeps being haunted by his hallucination , and his \u2018affair\u2019 with gi - ok makes him all the more miserable . as watching hyeok - guen haunted by his wife , gi - ok feels frustrated about the lack of response from a man she has secretly loved for long years , and , with the increasing guilt of her own , she also begins to feel what hyeok - guen has been seeing .\nthe movie is based on the director kang jin - a\u2019s short film made in 2009 . i have not seen it , but i can say its feature version is a good film to be appreciated . there are dreamy moments occasionally appearing in the movie , but there is always the realistic atmosphere of mundane daily life , and lee yeong - jin , lee hee - joon , and han ye - ri all give convincing performances . their characters come to us as the real people dealing with the real problems we can identify with , and their human behaviors remind that we are sometimes not that wise in case of handling the matters of heart .\nthis entry was posted in movies and tagged car accident , friend , romance , south korean film . bookmark the permalink .\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 .\nplease enter your name and e -

minute indian short film based upon a pakistani mother - son duo is bound to leave you at a loss of words .\nwhich released in jan 2011 was a commercial success and is generally regarded as the first new generation film although i personally prefer nayakan .\ncommented , ritu is also a good contender . in fact , many people do acknowledge its position as the first new generation film . however , the reason i choose nayakan over ritu is only beacause the term of new generation malayalam cinema was coined only in late 2010 ( or early 2011 ) . also , i ' m biased towards choosing nayakan . i mean , i have never seen jagathy sreekumar do such a great role . his acting skills in drama and not just comedy can be easily seen in this movie . also , this was one of the best roles indrajith potrayed . after nayakan , he had teamed up with the same director in city of god , another great movie but sadly with little commercial success .\nritu is a tremendously sad tale that undertakes a refreshingly tender treatment of diverse themes such as the certainty of transition , the dashing of young fantasies and above all the incessant flow of life . it talks of a generation that has everything laid out on one palm and literally nothing on the other .\nkannur ( kerala ) , may 26 :\nsalt n ' pepper\nfame malayalam actor asif ali sunday married zama masreen sunday . asif and zama had a traditional muslim ceremony , but after that , the couple hit the dance floor with friends . zama , who hails from kannur , is a first year degree student at a college in kozhikode . on june 1 , a gala reception for the entire film industry will be held in kochi . since his debut in 2009 with\nritu\n, the 27 -

winning director jennifer fox , is held over in the san francisco bay area and is now booked in 30 cities .\nit was not that impressive an year for non - film music , but some of the pop artists did deliver decent stuff . kailasa again gets top billing and after 2 really good albums , delivering a winner again is truly excellent . i opened up to bangladeshi music big time this year and have made a note of them in the top 3 list for the subcontinent . on western music , i really do not have the time to explore deeper , but have listed the 3 that i loved the most in 2009 .\nhere it is , finally ! there are still some interesting soundtracks expected ( particularly in tamil \u2013 like a r rahman\u2019s vinnaithaandi varuvaaya and yuvan shankar raja\u2019s goa ) , but it\u2019d be unfair to wait for them and decide on them in such limited time given that we have just 2 weeks more in 2009 ! 2009 , in my opinion , has been a stellar year for hindi and telugu music , an average year for kannada and malayalam music and a sad year for tamil music . also , i considered posting the lists as 5 separate posts , but the point of milliblog has always been uniting music across languages \u2013 so , a single , master post ! so , without much ado , here goes !\nsweet bean is the new film from acclaimed japanese filmmaker naomi kawase ( the mourning forest , ibff showcase 2013 ) , opening in selected us cities on march 18 , 2016 .\nthe 2010 cannes film festival palme d\u2019or winner is a dreamlike drama woven around the recollections of an old man in the countryside . the film has deep roots in thai pop cultural history , and director weerasethakul ( syndromes and a century ) mixes in references to old thai tv , comic books and classic thai cinema along with moments of surreal humor . the performances by lead actors thanapat saisaymar ( as uncle boonmee ) and jenjira pongpas are riveting , and the film immerses us in the confusion , wonder and curiosity of a spiritual seeker .\nritu depicts the life of three youngsters\u2014sharad ( nishan , the hero of the movie ) , and his two childhood mates\u2014varsha ( rima kallingal ) and sunny ( asif ) . sharad , who had been abroad for three years , comes back to india to join the other two . his key motivations included winning varsha , to whom he had a deep inner romantic feeling , apart from joining hands with sunny .\nit has become a norm in the world of hindi cinema that a film that has attained success in the south indian regional languages would be remade with hindi film stars . but bahubali could bulk this trend with its vfx effect and dubbing as it is the grandeur of the spectacle that mesmerizes the audience and not the star value . a dubbed version in hindi all across the hindi belt is also doing amazing business . bahubali has underlined that one need not require a superstar to make a film a success , rather that amount can be spent on vfx to release the film simultaneously all across the country and reap dividends . one caveat however would be that the cinema halls would have to upgrade to provide the audience the real time vfx experience .\nbased in peshawar , the plot of film , the school bag , revolves around a six - year - old and his mother , starring actors sartaaj kakkar and rasika dugal , respectively .\nritu is about youngsters working in the information technology sector . it tells the story of three childhood friends who drift apart as grown ups . one of them clings on to the memories of the good old days and wishes to work on their juvenile aspirations . this leads to revelations about the hidden facades of their personalities and how it changes the equations of their relationships with others . this forms the crux of the story .\nsummer pasture is a production of the kham film project , an organization of american and tibetan filmmakers working together on documentary and participatory video projects that convey contemporary stories and experiences from inside tibet .\nsuch has been the reception of the film within a day of its release that it could open a new vertical for film making -

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

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

out presentations at international buddhist film festival events in los angeles and the san francisco bay area , and is being distributed to us theaters via matson films . the film has run in over 20 cities to date , and has bookings through the end of the year . director mickey lemle has attended a number of the opening weekends around the country , including a birthday tribute to the dalai lama , with tibetan musician tsering dorjee bawa performing along with a tibetan children\u2019s chorus before the screening .\n\u201cessential viewing for anyone who cares about the fate of the mountain region and the legacy of the dalai lama\u2026 the film is notable for its focus on an extraordinary year in tibet\u2019s history and on tibetans themselves\u2014historians , writers , activists , all eloquent , impassioned and living in exile . \u201d \u2013sheri linden , the hollywood reporter\nhowever , the industry still doesn\u2019t get the credit it deserves , and although it has amassed more attention it recent times , when it comes to indian cinema as a whole , the malayalam industry still tends to fly under the radar . many have desperately clung to bollywood as the be all and end all of indian cinema . and yet all it really takes is one film , the right film , to open up a whole new world of cinema which is refreshing as it is familiar . take , for example , anjali menon\u2019s bangalore days , which is a great foray into malayalam cinema \u2013 it\u2019s a whole new cinematic world to explore .\nask anyone who\u2019s even remotely familiar with the industry , and they will tell you there is something distinctly different and special about malayalam movies being made today . if regional cinema is the underdog of indian cinema , with bollywood hogging the limelight , then malayalam cinema is no doubt the underdog of those regional industries . the kerala - based film industry is becoming increasingly well reputed for producing some of the best movies in the country year after year , alongside marathi cinema which is similarly serving up some truly groundbreaking films . the malayalam film industry is turning more and more heads for the technical quality of their movies alongside innovative storytelling and exploration of socially relevant issues .\nthe film maintains high standard as far as the look and the feel is concerned . shamdat captures the past ( mostly outdoors , a lakeside hangout of the three chums ) in hazy form giving it a mushy music video feel . on the other hand , the present - - the cfl lit corridors of an it conglomerate - - is bright .\ntibet in song is both a celebration of traditional tibetan folk music and a harrowing journey into the past fifty years of cultural repression inside chinese - controlled tibet . director and former tibetan political prisoner , ngawang choephel , weaves a story of beauty , pain , brutality and resilience , introducing tibet to the world in a way never before seen on film .\nthe 25th season of the pbs series pov opens on june 21 , 2012 with the broadcast of jennifer fox\u2019s my reincarnation ( check local listings for the exact time in your area ) . this film about namkhai norbu rinpoche and his son yeshi has been seen in over 20 countries , with a theatrical release in the us that has reached over 60 cities to date .\nle chhakka is an upcoming calcutta bangla commercial movie directed by raj chakraborty . the star cast includes hero dev paired with heroine payel and actor / film -

on - demand platform gathr , which allows people to attract a screening to their town by signing up online , and when a threshold of signers has been reached , a screening is booked . some of these one - night events lead to regular week - long bookings at the theater . so far , the film has been shown in over 60 venues , with more scheduled in the coming months . the filmmakers , marc francis and max pugh , have attended several screenings , accompanied by monks and nuns from thich nhat hanh\u2019s organization , including a highly publicized group walking meditation from new york\u2019s union square to a screening at the rubin museum of art .\nfor me , it has been a very disappointing year . it started very promisingly with dev . d and then dilli 6 , but it later fazed out . these are the only two only film soundtracks , that are worth listening . if i was just to pick only a song from an album , then i find it very difficult to come up with top 10 , so here are my top 5 :\nbased on the novel an ( \u201csweet red bean paste\u201d ) by durian sukegawa , the film features tokue ( a quietly powerful performance by famed japanese actress kirin kiki ) , an elderly woman who offers to help sentaro ( masatoshi nagase ) , a young cook of dorayaki ( bean paste pancake , a much loved confection in japan ) , and there\u2019s just enough plot to take us through some very deep waters of japanese culture .\ngelek rimpoche was born into a privileged world in a tibet that no longer exists , and he has lived an extraordinary life spanning continents , customs , and cultures . framed by archival photos of old tibet taken by rimpoche\u2019s father in the 1930s and \u201940s , the film traverses the link between one man\u2019s job as a modern spiritual teacher and the impact of tibet\u2019s myths and practices on americans seeking direction in an increasingly complex world .\nthe film is a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of a young couple and their infant daughter during a time of great transition . locho and yama are nomadic herders who carve their existence from the land as their ancestors have for generations . but now , as traditional nomadic life confronts rapid modernization , summer pasture captures a family at a crossroads , ultimately revealing the profound sacrifice they will make to ensure their daughter\u2019s future .\nthe make - believe world of mythology can become convincing only when the costumes and weaponry on display have an element of novelty that whets the appetite of aficionados ; and fight sequences are woven into the narrative in such a manner that the ingenuity of the costumes and the weaponry becomes the usp in tackling the opponent . bahubali has an ample dose of this triangulation and it manifests in the gusto during the second half of the film .\nthe kolkata bengali movie industry seems to have a sudden craze for alternative lifestyles . the recent flick cha - e - chuti , in spite of being a film that should have stood up for its skillful making and freshness , nevertheless became popular in at least some , if not most , part because of its depiction of romantic love between two women in a way that is far from the subtle portrayal of similar feelings in nil nirjane ( get dvd ) .\nhindi film music , in my opinion , had a fantastic year . it was so good that i found really difficult to come up with a final top 10 songs list ! so , breaking usual tradition , besides the top 10 , i also have a 11 - 20 list that did not make it to my top 10 . another reason for this extension is that people tend to ask me the ones that did not make to the top 10 , in the comments section . besides , the 11 - 20 list adds justification to my choice of the composer ( s ) of the year , since that is not a mere result of being in one of the top 3 soundtracks or being a composer ( s ) of one of the top 3 songs . my choice of composer ( s ) of the year is more from the point of consistency , all through the year . after aamir in 2008 . amit trivedi continues to impress in 2009 , even if he had just one soundtrack and a solo song in another soundtrack . vishal bharadwaj was , as usual , in incredible form in kaminey , but the man who stole the year was a r rahman , with a soundtrack that elicited milliblog\u2019s first ever 300 word gushing review ! but , shankar ehsaan loy deserve the title of composer ( s ) of the year due to the sheer range of impressive songs they composed \u2013 5 out of the top 20 , to be specific .\nsharon dutta was pretty well - known for his advertising spots before he moved to directing full length feature films . his first bengali movie was the 2005 horror film raat barota panch ( 12 : 05 in the night ) starring paran bandyopadhyay , ananya chatterjee , anjana bose , aparajita ghosh das , ashok chakraborty , ipshita bakshi , kanchan mullick , sagnik chattopadhyay , shantilal mukhopadhyay and others . the music director for 12 : 05 is the famed alternative new - modern bengali songwriter - singer shilajit .\nthis is a beautifully filmed neo - realist work featuring very young monks in a rural buddhist monastery . they are suddenly left to their own devices when their abbot is called away during a time of violent conflict beyond the monastery\u2019s simple and calm environment . there are echoes here of the cup , uncle boonmee who could recall his past lives , and the silent holy stones , but the unique location in remote shan state and historic timing of golden kingdom offer a compelling case for this breakthrough film .\nif one were to view the phenomenal success of amish tripathi as the writer who re - created mythologies in a scientific way through the shiva trilogy , it would underline the fact that the present generation indeed laps it up when mythology is presented to them in an easy - to - swallow capsule . bahubali seems to have taken the leaf out of amish\u2019s success as a writer practicing mythology , to present to the indian viewers a film which may appear mythological but has kept the religious underpinnings on a tight leash .\nfilmed over three years , in thich nhat hanh\u2019s plum village monastery in rural france , and on the road in the usa , the film is a meditation on a community grappling with existential questions and the everyday routine of monastic life . with unprecedented access , walk with me goes deep inside this international zen buddhist community . as the seasons come and go , the monastics\u2019 pursuit of a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them is amplified by insights from thich nhat hanh\u2019s early journals , voiced by academy award - nominated actor benedict cumberbatch .\nthe film is a comprehensive update of the director\u2019s groundbreaking compassion in exile ( 1991 ) profile of the dalai lama , with an intimate look at the enduring good humor and gentle wisdom of his holiness , now eighty - one . addressing his own death , the dalai lama considers the challenges of the prospect of his reincarnation , with tibet still under chinese control ; his urgency and dedication come through powerfully . the last dalai lama ? was filmed on location in india and the us , and features vivid archival footage , with an original score by philip glass and tenzin choegyal ."]}

colored palette , is pleasing . the same is not true of alexander zekke\u2019s music , which sometimes resembles an orchestra warming up .\nprevious : the roster for the 73rd venice film festival is being unveiled this morning in rome . at a press conference just getting underway , artistic director alberto barbera will announce the titles that make up this year\u2019s edition of the world\u2019s oldest fest which takes place on the lido beginning august 31 . venice kicks off the early fall triumvirate which also includes toronto and telluride , and which roundly offers up awards season contenders .\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 .\nhacksaw ridge marks gibson\u2019s first time in venice and should boost the anticipated ww ii drama\u2019s launch into the kudos corridor . lionsgate has set a domestic november 4 release for the film which deadline has previously reported tested through the roof with equal parts drama , action and faith -

time actors , who seem at times to be enacting or recounting their own difficult lives , prevent this delicate , more human than divine film from going too far down this road , and falling into the trap of auterish irony and knowingness .\nthere\u2019s a mary magdalen figure \u2013 the abused mother of a soccer - mad boy who tags along with michael on his barefoot trek across the dusty landscape . \u201care you a mechanic or a priest ? \u201d she asks just before he lays expert hands on the engine of a long - defunct car in her backyard , and it springs to life . that evening , he allows himself to be seduced , just as later , he allows himself to be talked into administering the sacrament of baptism , in a tarapac\u00e1 version of the river jordan , for an indos congregation whose priest has abandoned them .\nmurray\u2019s co - directed debut \u201cmanuel de ribera\u201d was also a moral drama with a fable - like overlay , though this , his first solo effort in making a feature , is even more invested in the use of storytelling to convey a message about the space that faith inhabits when all else is gone . in many ways , it\u2019s the polar opposite of luis bu\u00f1uel\u2019s \u201csimon of the desert , \u201d whose scathing depiction of a desert hermit\u2019s temptations offers little sympathy to those who rely on religion .\nacclaimed academy award - winning filmmaker guillermo del toro curates this collection of sinister stories , each more horrifying than the next .\nthat\u2019s not to say that some people don\u2019t want to follow el profeta regardless and in this sense , the movie explores how faith means something different for different people . as showcased in inti briones\u2019s sensual cinematography \u2014 with its measured zooms , slow sideways pans and shots flooded in soft , enveloping light \u2014 the vast pampa consists of large expanses of arid land dotted with barely - there homes . it\u2019s a destitute corner of the country in which hope seems in short supply , so the desire or even the necessity to believe in something is certainly there . and seeing someone so sure of his own faith can no - doubt be inspiring , especially if the person in question is framed , as briones does , in a central composition , which literally makes silva look iconic .\nit is an area that has been exploited by mining companies . how have these mining companies affected the characters in your film ?\nover the course of the slow pilgrimage of the protagonist across a northern chile , bearing witness to the exploitation of mineral resources by big businesses that leaves the local population to rot in decline , completely incapable of taking back their land , a boy by the name of michael , played by young actor michael silva , re - embraces his faith after a family bereavement threatens to topple it . citing , on several occasions , the statement that \u201cgod is not outside , but within us\u201d , michael invites everyone around him , and everyone he meets along his journey , to look within themselves to find a valid conclusion from not only a spiritual , but a logical point of view : if we believe that god is within every one of us , that he is part of our being , and that god is capable of making miracles happen , then , due to our transitive nature , we\u2019re also capable of performing miracles .\nboth of those pictures were the subject of major deals in cannes in 2015 and 2014 , respectively . focus secured world rights to nocturnal in a $ 20m acquisition last year , while paramount set a then cannes record the previous year , spending $ 20m for u . s . , canada and china rights to arrival , which was known at the time as story of your life . amy adams stars in both pics . joining her in ford\u2019s thriller are jake gyllenhaal and isla fisher . jeremy renner also stars in the sci -

professional actors telling parts of their real lives have an authenticity generally lacking in the scripted portions of this belabored tone poem .\nwhen michael was still a boy , he asked his best friend mauricio \u2018mauri\u2019 pinto to nail one of his hands to a tree ( we wince , despite the tasteful camera angle and edit ) . later , god spoke to him from a fire . now all grown up , with the thin , haunted appearance of many false or true messiahs , michael repairs bicycles and other bits of machinery in a roadside workshop ; he\u2019s derided as \u2018the prophet\u2019 by most of the people in his town , and his depressed , widowed father wants nothing to do with his son\u2019s self -

( it\u2019s currently available on vod via directv . ) not as much , i\u2019d argue , as the idea that jackie chan loves adele and alpacas and looks like he\u2019s having a blast in a vehicle that dads like him all over the world might enjoy . at times , skiptrace feels like the most jackie chan movie jackie chan has made , certainly in recent years , and possibly ever . let\u2019s let him live his truth and keep rolling in the deep .\nthough there have been a small number of u . s . - based productions , and an even smaller number of u . s . - china co - productions that have shot there with american directors , to his knowledge skiptrace is the first real co - production . this means that producers and financing came from both countries , as did the creative collaboration in the development of the script , casting of the actors and the production itself . skiptrace was approved by the chinese government as a chinese movie , which made it possible for it to bypass the u . s . release quota system and the non -

crosby road picture , with chan and knoxville wending their way through a cartoon version of asia via increasingly preposterous modes of transportation ( train , three - wheeler truck , horse , inflated sheepskin raft , zipline ) , with stop - offs at a mongolian wrestling match and chinese mud festivals . this comic - book travelogue of asia is filled with picturesque locations , ranging from the stilt houses of tai o to vast rice terraces , but the overall tone is one of labored wackiness . where the hope - crosby pictures were premised on the easy rapport between their two stars , the bloated action - comedy machinery of skiptrace prevents any real chemistry from forming between chan and knoxville .\nshanghai new media culture has boarded as co -

hand shifts between the fast bennie and the snaky connor , the two exchanging punctuating grins . chan\u2019s charisma is a no - brainer for this type of elasticity , but knoxville is an animated match . he\u2019s always had an inclusive nature to him , whether famously welcoming us to mtv ' s \u201cjackass\u201d or boasting a big , contagious laugh in the series , and he fits neatly with \u201cskiptrace\u2019\u201ds light , slapstick tone .\nthe golden screen awards is presented by the u . s . china film and television industry ( ucfti ) association , and executive produced by spike jones , jr . and sj2 entertainment . for more information on the golden screen awards and its nominees , please visit goldenscreenawards . com .\nat 62 , chan is still doing his own stunts , and if these are necessarily scaled down from his heyday of crawling on hot coals and dangling from helicopters , he still manages to maintain his winking charisma and comic energy . he\u2019s such an engaging performer that he even manages to enliven knoxville\u2019s usual reprobate shtick merely through his presence . but there\u2019s little space between the constant gags , overblown set pieces , and manic score ( which parodies everything from spaghetti westerns to russian folk dances ) for either chan or knoxville to establish a unique comedic identity for the film . and so skiptrace ultimately feels simply perfunctory , the outlines of a reasonably entertaining action comedy waiting to be filled in .\nthe top market for the film right now is brazil with $ 16 . 6m followed by germany with $ 14 . 5m and the u . k . with $ 13 . 6m . next comes mexico with an $ 11 . 4m cume and then australia with $ 8 . 8m .\nsome high -

natured even when it\u2019s cheerfully dumb , exploiting its diverse locations for every last drop of local color . stunt and fx work aren\u2019t always completely convincing , but any action bit that falls a bit flat as a result ( like the early domino -

dwelling mongolian herders .\nthe general silliness is underlined by some broadly jokey soundtrack choices , typical of an overall package that is resourcefully and professionally splashy if not always classy . along with the usual blooper clips , the end credits sport a dedication to chan kwok - hung , a cinematographer and longtime chan collaborator who died in a drowning accident during the film\u2019s production .\nmore in the vein of chan\u2019s hollywood buddy movies like rush hour or shanghai noon than the classic ' 80s kung fu comedy genre that he helped originate , skiptrace finds the still - limber hong kong superstar settling into a more sedate format that could remain serviceable for even another decade . in their first collaboration , chan and finnish action director renny harlin scored an impressive $ 60 million china debut over the july 22 weekend , the highest - grossing opener for either of them .\nadd to that a little counter - programming in lionsgate\u2019s female - driven comedy bad moms \u2014 also opening day and date in the u . s . the r - rated comedy may just find its audience the way the hangover did abroad and that film\u2019s\u2019 writer / directors jon lucas and scott moore are also the power and creators of bad moms .\nchan\u2019s dedication to the tastes proven of mass audiences has resulted in more than a few generic , by - committee - type exercises , particularly among those aimed largely at western viewers . long - in - the - works \u201cskiptrace , \u201d which at earlier points was to be directed by sam fell ( \u201cparanorman\u201d ) , with seann william scott in the role knoxville inherited , initially has that uninspired feel of trying to check off too many boxes with too many well - worn genre tropes .\nlights out , the horror film that opened to strong numbers stateside , also ended up a smidgen higher with $ 8 . 5m . no changes for star trek beyond \u2018s international debut of $ 30m , which will be facing stiff competition this coming weekend as universal pictures international unleashes another jason bourne staring matt damon and this year\u2019s academy award winner alicia vikander .\nlos angeles , ca - - ( marketwired - october 27 , 2016 ) - the u . s . china film & television expo announced its nominees for the inaugural golden screen awards , a ceremony that honors production companies , films , directors , actors , and producers for excellence in chinese - international co - production films . the awards show , in partnership with the motion picture association ( mpa ) , the hollywood reporter and china film co - production corporation , follows the second day of the ucfti expo ' s executive panel discussions on november 3 , with a red carpet and cocktail reception starting at 6 pm and the awards show starting at 8pm pdt , at aeg live event deck in downtown los angeles .\nchan added that he still maintains real kung fu in the film , instead of seeking help from cgi special effects .\neverybody works with a green screen now , but the hardest thing to do is to create real action ,\nchan said ,\ni ' m not a fan of high - tech effects , i just like raw and simple things .\nthough american audiences haven ' t seen jackie chan since the karate kid remake , that doesn ' t mean the 59 - year - old international star has slowed down . he may be taking it easier on the kicking and punching , but after starring in and directing the chinese historical epic 1911 , chan showed he ' s as active in the film business as ever .\nice age : collision course in its fourth weekend in play , ice age : collision course grossed $ 29m in its 60 markets to bring in a total international cume to date of $ 177 . 7m . and it needs it . stateside , the franchise is waning with a lackluster debut this weekend of only $ 21m . the global cume is basically at $ 200m ( $ 199m ) . all in , this weekend , the grosses the film earned both stateside and abroad helped its studio pass shrek as the global king of animated franchises as it pushed over $ 3 billion at the box office ( see above ) . and it\u2019s far from over as the animated family film still has another 17 markets yet to bow including china on august 23rd .\nalso opening will be league of gods , which is opening in china , the u . k . , and australia , to name a few . this home -

find out more about rewards on the panel to the right .\nhowever , for troma fans , low - budget filmmakers and even the merely curious , return to nuke \u2018em high vol . 1 \u2019s dvd extras are more than worth the time to enjoy . aside from the trailer for return to nuke \u2018em high vol . 2 , the blu ray also features a number of documentaries both on the ( difficult ) making of the film and on troma\u2019s long history . there are also two commentary tracks on this film , one from kaufman himself ( and an interviewer ) and another with the cast ( which kaufman brazenly crashes at one point ) . ironically , watching the film with commentary makes the experience exponentially more interesting than actually attempting to follow the plot .\ngoing off the strength of troma ' s last bunch of in - house feature films , i had high hopes for return to nuke ' em high : part 1 , almost all of which were let down . maybe it ' ll be like the deathly hallows , where the first film is all set up and part 2 gets to have all the badassery . we ' ll just have to wait and see . but i ' m kind of not looking forward to it .\nthe first volume of return to nuke \u2018em high falls into that latter category , in spite of ( or perhaps , because of ) the direction of the triumphantly returning lloyd kaufman ( troma\u2019s co - founder ) . in true troma tradition there are moments of inspired madness and hilarity , but more often than not this proves to be the exception , not the rule in this part remake , part sequel .\nin our case it ' s one long story but like the original class of nuke ' em high , the first half is more funny , slapstick . the second half is traditional action - monster - special effects . volume 2 is not as funny but it has lots of action , non - stop .\nthe king of crazy crap cinema is back with return to nuke ' em high , a reboot of a popular troma franchise from the ' 80s that brings the blood drenched boobage of the past into the new millennium , complementing poultrygeist ' s fast food satire with a similar level of artistry , activism , and anarchy .\n\u201ctaking the \u2018ripped straight from today\u2019s headlines\u2019 approach , a troma film , with its wall - to - wall hyper - surrealism , tends to skewer whatever\u2019s happening in society at the moment . at this particular juncture in time , kaufman\u2019s latest , return to return to nuke \u2018em high , vol . 2 also manages to serve as a sort of exorcistic prism . its outrageous imagery brings to light the absurdity we\u2019re currently up against as a society dealing with all sorts of turmoil . \u201d\ndie - hard troma buffs may be amused by all of this , and by the wink - wink references to such studio icons as the toxic avenger and sgt . kabukiman . but even they may be upset when the action abruptly ends at an arbitrary point , and the words \u201cto be continued \u2026 \u201d appear onscreen . yes , it seems that for better or worse \u2014 or worst \u2014 there really will be a \u201creturn to nuke \u2018em high volume 2 . \u201d\nright off the bat , return to nuke \u2018 em high volume 1 starts off with a scene that pretty much tells you what the hell it is that you are in for . in it , a hot girl and her boyfriend are having sex , when a disembodied , mutant penis thing gets involved . this leads to a money shot involving said mutant dick spraying blood all over the girl . yeah , that about sums up this film . wow ! this all leads to what is the finest troma film since their golden era of 80s movies like the toxic avenger and , of course , the preceding movie to this , class of nuke \u2018em high . that movie is actually my favorite movie made by troma . so , this film had a lot to live up to for me , and boy did it ever deliver the goods !\nthe class of nuke ' em high is back , and this time they ' re in college !

nicholas winton - to whom we wanted to pay tribute , because he deserved it so much that he selflessly rescued these 700 children . and he did something absolutely astonishing , and for us it was such a moment of self -

without the support of official bodies and so on - can achieve very important and fundamental things and can change the history of people .\nafter munich , winton had been certain that the germans would occupy the rest of bohemia and moravia before long . he had been alarmed further by the violence against the jewish community in germany and austria during the kristallnacht riots in november 1938 . when he heard of subsequent efforts of jewish agencies in britain to rescue german and austrian jewish children on the so - called kindertransport , an effort that eventually brought about 10 , 000 unaccompanied children to safety in great britain , winton summoned a small group of people to organize a similar rescue operation for children imperiled by the impending german dismemberment of czechoslovakia in march 1939 .\non march 14 , 1939 , winton had his first success : the first transport of children left prague for britain by airplane . winton managed to organize seven more transports that departed from prague ' s wilson railway station . the groups then crossed the english channel by boat and finally ended their journey at london ' s liverpool street station . at the station , british foster parents waited to collect their charges . winton , who organized their rescue , was set on matching the right child to the right foster parents .\nthis man , nicholas winton saved lives . he saved the life of individuals he did not know . he was blessed enough to live for 103 years and died on july 1 , 2015 . nicholas rejected the description of himself as a hero , insisting that unlike schindler , his life had never been in danger . he was always modest about his achievements , and his reasons for acting . the sad part of this equation is that this man who never harmed a single soul for a single penny that he made in addition to saving lives , did not get the recognition from nobel prize but yet nobel prize has gone to individuals who have done nothing , absolutely nothing in comparison to nicholas . flags all over the world should have flown at half mast for an individual like nicholas since he was one of the rare humans who represented the value of humanity on planet earth . this is a very sad , sad day . i wish his daughter , barbara health and happiness . this man did not save the lives of only some 650 + individuals , he saved the life of their siblings as well and how many reviews this documentary about this genuine human being has received . . . only three . absolute disgrace , what majority of humans are all about .\ninspiring documentary about nicholas winton , a british stockbroker who saved 669 czech children from hitler and never told anyone -

30 , 1938 , following hitler ' s demand to annex the sudetenland , a region in czechoslovakia populated largely by ethnic germans . the resulting crisis led britain and france , who had adopted a policy of appeasement , to pressure czechoslovakia to accede to hitler ' s demands . no czech representative was present at the conference , and the agreement led to the destruction of the czech state . following the conference , winston churchill warned :\ndo not suppose that this is the end . this is only the beginning of the reckoning .\ngrete shared the story with dr . elisabeth maxwell , a holocaust historian and the wife of newspaper magnate robert maxwell . robert maxwell arranged for his newspaper to publish articles on winton ' s amazing deeds . winton ' s extraordinary story led to his appearance on esther rantzen ' s bbc television program , that ' s life . in the studio , emotions ran high as winton ' s\nchildren\nintroduced themselves and expressed their gratitude to him for saving their lives . because the program was aired nationwide , many of the rescued children also wrote to him and thanked him . letters came from all over the world , and new faces still appear at his door , introducing themselves by names that match the documents from 1939 .\nwithin hours of the announcement , the train disappeared . none of the 250 children aboard was seen again . we had 250 families waiting at liverpool street that day in vain . if the train had been a day earlier , it would have come through . not a single one of those children was heard of again , which is an awful feeling .\nsir winton was a successful 29 -

it\u2019s a \u201c heist film \u201d in the same tradition as countless other european heist films i\u2019ve seen . i love a good heist film but unfortunately the devil with seven faces is not good .\ni truly wish i had more positive things to say about the devil with seven faces , but unless you happen to be a george hilton or carroll baker completist like myself , a huge fan of stelvio cipriani and nora orlandi\u2019s scores or just curious to see some of the worst wigs imaginable , then i can\u2019t encourage you to spend 90 minutes with this movie . if you do decide to watch the devil with seven faces i recommend doing so with a good bottle of wine by your side .\nnothing like a horrible youtube gaillo to put you to sleep after a long days work . i put this on because it was only 90 minutes and i wasn ' t up to anything longer than that . this thing felt 5 hours long . the score sounded like they dropped a toddler with a xylophone into the studio and told him to\ndo work\n. i don ' t know what seven faces has to do with anything because the murderer was just a guy in a gorrila mask . two faces , the devil has two faces .\nthe soundtrack for the devil with seven faces was so good that it actually managed to elevate the film at times and made me forget how completely dull it was . stelvio cipriani composed the music and nora orlandi adds lots of lush vocalisms to just about every track . their work together on the devil with seven faces is truly fantastic and i\u2019d love to get a copy of the entire soundtrack . i\u2019m sure i have bits and pieces of the music on one or two of the library compilations i own but the score really deserves to be heard in its entirety .\ndaenerys ( emilia clarke ) receives an unexpected visitor . jon ( kit harington ) faces a revolt . tyrion ( peter dinklage ) plans the conquest of westeros .\ni should have said americans or english speaking countries . it does seem like these terms become problematic when they\u2019re used a lot by english speaking critics who don\u2019t fully grasp their meaning or intention . this is why i hesitate to use the term when writing about something like the devil with seven faces .\nwith just over a week to go , hbo has released the episode titles of the first three episodes of game of thrones season seven .\npress reviews of the seven acts of mercy by anders lustgarten , directed by erica whyman . playing in the swan theatre , stratford upon avon .\nsounds and furies collects seven singular , gorgeous tales of lingering atmospheric horror from the masterful pen of tanith lee :\nwhere all things perish ,\nmidday people ,\ncold fire ,\ncrying in the rain ,\nwe all fall down ,\nthe beautiful and damned by f . scott fitzgerald ,\nand\nthe isle is full of noises\n( novella ) . these seven faces of darkness cast a wide shadow an\neventually the seven were released by the crippled god , though initially , they could not physically leave the glade where their faces had been carved in the rock . all that had been required of the crippled god ' s dark gift was a renunciation of their vow and an oath of fealty to their new patron . [ 7 ] the seven cultivated teblor warriors to serve their agenda . the first had been pahlk , but the seven had been too confident , not realising how much of their power had been spent sundering their vow . later , they chose karsa orlong , pahlk ' s grandson .

allow me to elaborate . the enticing title , the starring of george hilton and carroll baker and the stelvio cipriani musical score have got written\ngiallo\nall over it . without even knowing what the plot is about , these elements are enough to convince all avid fans of italian cult cinema that we ' re dealing with a bona fide giallo here . the plot , however , is that of a crime - thriller / mystery movie . there are no heavily breathing perverts with black gloves massacring scantily dressed fashion models here . instead ,\nthe devil has seven faces\nis an overly\u2026\nthe devil with seven faces ( and , no , the title doesn ' t bear any resemblance to the plot ) is at least blessed with a lovely stelvio cipriani score . if you don ' t expect much in the way of traditional giallo thrills then there ' s some 70s charm , a few passages of effective suspense and madcap caper to enjoy , but overall it ' s a curiously hollow experience .\ni had high expectations for director osvaldo civirani\u2019s 1971 thriller the devil with seven faces ( aka il diavolo a sette facce ) when i stuck it into my dvd player . the film stars two of my favorite actors , the lovely american actress carroll baker along with the talented george hilton . stephen boyd also has a major role in the film along with the always entertaining luciano \u201cthe italian peter lorre\u201d pigozzi , genre favorite daniele vargas and the cute lucretia love . the script for the devil with seven faces was co - written by tito carpi who also co - wrote a lot of good spaghetti westerns such as fistful of lead ( 1970 ) , any gun can play ( 1967 ) and django shoots first ( 1968 ) . and last but not least , the film features a score by two of my favorite composers ; the amazing stelvio cipriani and nora orlandi .\nseven samurai was written over a period of six weeks as kurosawa , hashimoto , and co - writer hideo oguni holed up in a hotel room in atami , working so hard they didn\u2019t even take phone calls . even before the scripting process began , though , kurosawa filled a notebook with detailed notes on each of the seven main characters , including their heights , ages , emotional dispositions , and reactions to battle . many of his initial character instincts remain in the final film : for example , kurosawa always imagined frequent collaborator takashi shimura in the role of kambei shimada , the leader of the seven .\ntraditionally , the systems - development life cycle consisted of five stages . that has now increased to seven phases . increasing the number of steps helped systems analysts to define clearer actions to achieve specific goals .\nsix of the bill ' s most memorable faces came together to share memories , along with a vintage 1990s vauxhall vectra police car used in the series , to mark the first time the show has been broadcast in order since it came off the air .\nseven new actors have been added to the upcoming second season , variety reports . they are : anne winters , bryce cass , chelsea alden , allison miller , samantha logan , kelli o\u2019hara and ben lawson . according to the outlet , none of the newcomers are series regulars , but many of them will appear in the majority of episodes in season two . how the series will make room for these new faces while juggling so many returning characters remains to be seen .\nseven - year - old sam marin is taken from his school . much to the relief of his parents anna and joe , sam is found unharmed hours later and police arrest ex - schoolteacher , simon heywood .\none thing people need to realize when interpreting song lyrics is that the lyrics alone often don ' t entirely define a song ' s meaning . the actual tone of the music often mixes with the lyrics to paint a pretty solid image in your mind of what the song is about . seven faces has a very gloomy / depressive tone , suggesting ( at least to me ) the the song isn ' t quite so rosey and optimistic as\ndo whatever you want and you ' ll be free !\nthe ritual of binding was so powerful it had twisted the minds of the nearby teblor shamans to ingratiate the faces as gods . these\ngods\ninformed the shamans in their dreams and trances that they had slain the teblor ' s old spirits and now demanded obeisance .

and - a - half hours . when asked to describe what kind of film he made , kurosawa had the perfect response : \u201ca movie as rich as a buttered steak topped with grilled eel . \u201d\nat the time seven samurai entered production , most major japanese films cost around $ 70 , 000 . because kurosawa demanded the authenticity of things like a fully constructed outdoor village location , and because of frequent production challenges , the shoot dragged on and eventually took a year to complete . as a result , the budget ballooned to nearly $ 500 , 000 \u2014a massive sum at the time .\nas the production process of seven samurai grew longer and longer , producers grew worried that kurosawa was spending too much on the film . as a result , production was closed down \u201cat least twice . \u201d instead of arguing , kurosawa simply left to go fishing , believing that the studio had already invested so much money into the film that they wouldn\u2019t simply scrap it . he was right .\nsince the truck itself is the movie\u2019s main antagonist , spielberg chose to cast it like he would any other actor : an in -

[ 12 ] after they retrieved their weapons , he told them that they were not gods , but t ' lan imass . they insisted that they , in fact , were gods since they were worshipped . [ 13 ]\nkurosawa ultimately scrapped that story , and instead pitched the idea of a film that would cover a series of five samurai battles , based on the lives of famous japanese swordsmen . hashimoto went off to write that script , but kurosawa ultimately scrapped that idea as well , worrying that a film that was just \u201ca series of climaxes\u201d wouldn\u2019t work . then , producer s\u00f4jir\u00f4 motoki found , through historical research , that samurai in the \u201cwarring states\u201d period of japanese history would often volunteer to stand guard at peasant villages overnight in exchange for food and lodging . from that , kurosawa and hashimoto developed the idea of a group of samurai hired by peasants to protect them from bandits , and seven samurai was born .\nthis is research that goes back a couple of decades ; however no new discoveries or studies have delivered anything to discount or challenge this one . the layout of the book is helpful : to categorize each kind of philanthropist and outline each under the same rubrics in every chapter contributes to the reader ' s ability to finish reading and having memory of more of this book ' s content than others ' . indeed , i have encountered each of these ' faces ' in my sphere of work , and there is a place for each of them . now , having a better understanding of how to identify each ' face ' , what motivates them , what the objective of their gifts / donations are , and how to remain connected with them , i can organize and align requests that i or my organization make in ways that would leverage a better result .\nthroughout his career , kurosawa developed a kind of stock company of actors who he frequently turned to , and several of them have key roles in seven samurai . most famously , toshir\u00f4 mifune worked on 16 films with kurosawa , including stray dog ( 1949 ) , throne of blood ( 1957 ) , and yojimbo ( 1961 ) . yoshio tsuchiya , who played the villager rikichi , went on to work with kurosawa in yojimbo , sanjuro , red beard ( 1965 ) , and more . the most prolific collaborator , though , was takashi shimura , who acted in 21 of kurosawa\u2019s 30 films as a director , including ikiru ( 1952 ) , throne of blood , the hidden fortress ( 1958 ) , and kagemusha ( 1980 ) .\ni ' ll be the first to not completely agree with darkspot . while the song certainly isn ' t punishing the desire to commit the seven deadly sins ( and it ' s describing them in a very human manner ) , i don ' t think it ' s really supporting the desire either . it sounds to me like it ' s being sung / spoken from the point of view of a depressed , hurt and failed individual ( possibly a drug addict ) who ' s basically looking for serenity in things like lust and greed . basically , he ' s trying to escape from reality through them . the song isn ' t punishing him , but it certainly isn ' t suggesting that he be a role model either .\nseven samurai was never supposed to be in production for as long as it was . this meant that the final battle sequence , which was originally set to be filmed in the summer months , was shot in february . shortly before the filming of the sequence began , heavy snow fell , which meant the crew had to water down the set in order to melt the snow . that , plus the scripted plan to shoot the sequence in a dramatic torrential downpour , meant that the cast was working in deep , thick mud . because it was the dead of winter , the mud would often grow frozen , leaving the cast\u2014in their period -

profits . for them , giving is a religious act . as god has blessed them with wealth , they see it as only right that they share this blessing with others . along the same lines , giving is a moral obligation .\ninvestors see charitable giving as good business . for them , there is a very apparent dual purpose to giving . on the one hand , they want to help charitable causes . on the other hand , they want to be very tax wise about their giving . investors are looking to support nonprofits that understand both these sets of concerns .\nsocialites find that they can help nonprofits and have a good time doing so . they accomplish this through social functions \u2013 ones they produce and ones in which they participate as guests . socialites look to multiply their giving by leveraging their relationships with friends and family . their social network is a major determinant of the nonprofits they support .\naltruists are what people often associate with affluent donors . they give out of a sense of moral imperative . their generosity is a function of \u201cdoing the right thing . \u201d moreover , they tend to be modest and are most likely to give anonymously .\nrepayers tend to be former recipients of a nonprofit\u2019s services , or sometimes people close to them have received those services . subsequently , they give back by supporting the same or aligned nonprofits . repayers tend to concentrate their giving on medical and educational causes . they give out of a sense of gratitude .\ndynasts , in contrast to the other philanthropic personalities , have usually inherited their wealth . growing up with money , dynasts are socialized to the value and justness of supporting worthwhile causes . giving is a quality that resonates within their family , and they are expected to support nonprofits .\nby customizing messages based on this segmentation methodology , nonprofits can be more effective in soliciting donations \u2013 current and planned gifts \u2013 from the affluent .\ndonald trump\u2019s facial expressions say a lot about him . photograph : mediapunch / rex / shutterstock\n\u2019s political success can be put down to his body language and the unusual ways he uses his face . the first thing we notice about trump\u2019s facial expressions is the sheer variety . the second is their dramatic , often over - stated character . this was evident before and during the presidential election . while the other candidates \u2013 hillary clinton included \u2013 were struggling to appear likeable and restrained , trump was busy performing grimaces that would not have looked out of place in japanese noh theatre . but what are trump\u2019s signature facial expressions , and what do they tell us about him ?\nduring the campaign , trump eclipsed clinton in the macho stakes . he did this by adopting an \u201calpha face\u201d of lowered brows , narrowed eyes and a firmly set mouth . this expression is the antithesis of submissiveness . psychologists have discovered that smiling men are widely perceived as less dominant and that powerful men show reduced levels of smiling . individuals who want to demonstrate that they are not a threat are more likely to raise their eyebrows , widen their eyes and flash a smile \u2013 the precise opposite of what trump does in this effort to remind everyone that he is not the kind of guy you can push around .\nmost politicians , when they are angry , will allow themselves a modicum of indignation . that\u2019s not enough for trump . when he\u2019s incensed , he pulls out all the stops and produces a larger - than - life spectacle of fury \u2013 eyes narrowed , brows tightly knitted together , mouth open and jaw tense . it is tempting to think that trump\u2019s outbursts come from a lack of inhibition , but their true source is more likely to be his realisation that exhibitions of anger reinforce an impression of dominance . this is certainly in line with research by psychologists , which shows that people with a strong sense of entitlement , or who see themselves as powerful and unchallenged , are more ready to engage in public displays of anger than others .\none of the ways that trump tries to look like a tough politician is by jutting out his chin . the chin - jut relies on the fact that men with bigger chins have higher levels of testosterone and , partly for this reason , are more likely to reach positions of power . in a study at west point military academy in the us , for example , it was discovered that male cadets who had larger chins were more likely to reach the rank of general in later life than their small - chinned peers . by using the chin - jut , trump is taking full advantage of this fact \u2013 tilting his head back , thrusting out his lower jaw and attempting to give the impression that he deserves to be in charge .\nalthough trump instinctively recognises the demeaning potential of smiling , there are occasions when he is prepared to throw caution to the wind and give a full - blown smile , with his teeth on display and wrinkles around the corners of the eyes \u2013 the latter being the feature that defines a genuine as opposed to a fake display of happiness . trump tends to produce these beaming smiles when he is in a convivial setting and when he doesn\u2019t feel the need to look like a leader , or when he is with people whose company he enjoys \u2013 as demonstrated by his post - election photograph with nigel farage .\nthis is the smile that trump defaults to when he is in the public eye : the mouth is closed and the teeth remain hidden . that\u2019s because the risorius muscles , which pull the corners of the mouth sideways , are much more active in this case than the zygomatic major muscles , which pull the corners of the mouth upwards and are otherwise involved in a full - blown smile . the result of this is that the zipped smile appears more guarded \u2013 and because the mouth is stretched sideways , it makes the face look slightly wider .\nthere could be several reasons why trump is so attached to the zipped smile . one is that it makes him look less submissive . by avoiding a full - blown smile , he is able to appear circumspect , while keeping his options open \u2013 something he evidently likes to do .\nanother reason is that zipped smiles make the mouth look wider . there is evidence , both from animals and humans , that mouth width is linked to readiness to engage in physical combat , and it has also been found that men with wider mouths are more likely to attain leadership positions . trump might also be unconsciously attracted to the zipped smile because it increases the apparent width - to - height ratio of his face , which in turn makes him look more masculine and macho . psychologists have consistently shown that men with a high facial width - to - height ratio are not only seen as tougher and more attractive , they also have higher levels of testosterone and are actually more competitive . but there is always the possibility that the origins of trump\u2019s zipped smile are cultural rather than personal . it is known , for example , that while americans favour a full - blown smile that showcases the teeth , british people have historically preferred tight - lipped versions of the smile . there is every chance therefore that trump\u2019s zipped smile is actually a throwback to his scottish ancestors \u2013 which would of course demonstrate that his public persona is far less american than he has led us to believe .\nsome of trump\u2019s zipped smiles are straightforward , but a large proportion of them are accompanied by a puckeredchin . these are what psychologists call \u201cblended facial expressions\u201d . the presence of this additional facial expression is quite significant because people often pull their chins in when they feel threatened \u2013 it\u2019s a way of tensing the chin in anticipation of being symbolically punched in the face . the fact that a puckered chin features in so many of trump\u2019s zipped smiles suggests that he frequently feels threatened . because zipped smiles are so effective at capturing people\u2019s attention , they provide a perfect vehicle for trump to disguise his feelings of vulnerability . all this is likely to be entirely unconscious , but by unwittingly externalising his feelings in this way trump proves that he is not as tough as he would like everyone to think .\nyou can\u2019t help notice the way trump protrudes and contorts his mouth . in fact , his lips appear to have an almost prehensile quality , as if they were an extra pair of hands , reaching out from his face to manipulate the world around him . there are , however , at least two explanations we might consider . one is that trump amplifies his lip movements because he is not completely convinced that people fully understand what he\u2019s saying . studies have shown that when mothers are talking to their infants , they often protrude their lips and make exaggerated mouth movements in an attempt to make themselves better understood . is trump operating on a similar assumption ? does he feel that the capacity of his audience to understand is so limited that he needs to enlist every articulatory channel to get his message across ?\nit is also conceivable that trump\u2019s exaggerated mouth movements are simply another example of a generalised strategy that involves using \u201c supernormal stimuli \u201d to attract attention to himself . the term supernormal stimuli\u201d was coined by the eminent zoologist , nico tinbergen , who discovered that herring gulls and stickleback fish responded with greater vigour when they were presented with exaggerated stimuli than when they were exposed to the stimuli they would normally encounter . recent research on humans suggests that , like birds and fish , we too have an innate orienting reflex to supernormal stimuli , and that we respond more powerfully to things that are larger - than - life , whether in the realm of luxury goods , food or sex . maybe trump\u2019s mouth movements \u2013 together with his histrionic hand gestures and overstated opinions \u2013 are all unknowingly designed to capitalise on this human reaction .\nso which facial expressions will trump opt for during his inauguration ? will he try to present himself as a tough guy by putting on his alpha face and jutting out his chin , or will he embrace everyone with a big smile , or possibly even a zipped smile , with or without a puckered chin ? whatever happens , trump\u2019s face is sure to provide important clues about his attitude to the occasion and what is going through his mind . having chosen to be everyone\u2019s face , there\u2019s really nowhere for him to hide .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\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 ? use the html below .\nafter killing an unknown man for an unknown reason , a mysterious drifter turns himself to the law , under a false name intending to protect his own family ' s honor . but when the news of his . . . see full summary \u00bb\nan ambitious farmer becomes a pioneer in the meat packing business , finding financial success but private disappointment over the course of many decades ."]}

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

write carpenter\u2019s 1981 film escape from new york , but was also played by production designer tommy lee wallace whenever needed . when myers is unmasked at the end of the film , he is played by actor tony moran who would go on to appear in guest spots on tv shows like the waltons and chips . moran was paid $ 250 for a day\u2019s work and a single shot in halloween .\n. soon after , wagner , who is furious at gribble for apparently allowing gordon to escape without paying , inspects gordon ' s room and discovers that the producer and binelli are still there . in spite of gordon ' s promises that money is on the way , wagner orders the duo to pay their bill or be arrested . while wagner is alerting the hotel bouncers , simon jenkins , the investing agent of an unnamed wealthy man , comes to the room and tells gordon that his employer will invest $ 15 , 000 in\nthe broadway play\nroom service\nopened at the cort theater on may 19 , 1937 and ran for 500 performances ( without the marx brothers ) . cliff dunstan , donald macbride , philip wood and alexander asro originated their movie roles in the play . also in the opening night cast was eddie albert as leo davis , betty field as hilda , teddy hart as faker , sam levene as gordon miller and philip loeb ( also in the movie ) in a role cut from the screenplay . the play was revived in 1953 with jack lemmon as leo davis .\ni believe i read , maybe a year ago , about a revival , maybe not on broadway , but in some fairly prestigious venue , of the original broadway play room service , in other words , not the movie rewrite . it is apparently still a riot , quite a bit bawdier and more profane than the sanitized marx version . not that more profanity ( meaning in this case no more than the occasional\ngoddammit\n) makes anything funnier , necessarily , it ' s just that the original is just much funnier than the rewrite , which should surprise nobody .\nis the coolest melville film of them all ; odds are , it\u2019ll land upright , because that\u2019s an impossible distinction to make . melville films pulse with ineffable cool . in the case of\nfilm too many kisses is released with harpo in a supporting role . details are lacking of how he came to be in this , which even seems to pre -

in - law , who has been reluctantly providing cover for the company . this would have done a better job of sustaining the marxes ' characterizations even if it meant more changes in the original play . room service was effectively musicalized in 1944 as step lively starring frank sinatra . putting the marxes with ol ' blue -

the man\u2019s got a leering , sunken visage only a mother could love , provided she keeps her eyes closed tightly and doesn\u2019t give him reason to shove her down the stairs . richard widmark\u2019s wolf grin might be the only thing about kiss of death that matters . bereft of him , of course , henry hathaway\u2019s film remains solid , but widmark\u2019s oscar - nominated performance makes the entire enterprise feel vital . he\u2019s a villain for the ages , perhaps robbed of his due by hathaway\u2019s need to architect a happy ending . such is life working with production codes . \u2014 a . c .\n: at first confused , then maybe a little angry , but then ultimately delighted by how fooled they\u2019d just been . perfectly paced , brilliantly scored by director bryan singer and editor / composer john ottman\u2014the film never lets the marks know they\u2019re being conned by the irresistible ensemble or christopher mcquarrie\u2019s dark , mischievous script . and then like that \u2026 it\u2019s gone\u2026 \u2014\nget carter director mike hodges\u2019s last great film was budding star clive owen\u2019s first . in fact , even now more than 15 years after its release , croupier may be the best thing owen has ever done , playing a struggling novelist who takes a job at a casino , looking for inspiration but finding mostly trouble . watch this film now to be reminded where the actor first prompted speculation that he\u2019d make a great james bond : his character jack manfred isn\u2019t a super - spy , but he\u2019s got the jet - black suaveness , lady - killing panache and dry wit we associate with 007 . croupier is a movie attracted to the sleazier side of life , and owen\u2019s antihero was the perfect tour guide . \u2014 tim grierson\nmiller , the part played by groucho marx in the film version , is not groucho , nor does he need to be . without the cigar , monotone voice , and animated eyebrows , this very experienced actor did a fine job of creating his own unique version of a lively character who will do anything to produce the play , even if that involves shenanigans .\nkind of funny , but this movie is so unusual that i almost feel like i had a break for one week reviewing the marx brothers . i sometimes accidentally think of at the circus being the follow up to a day at the races , this film seems so non - marxian . it ' s just a fun 30 ' s studio system comedy to me .\nonly a master like fritz lang could take a trope as hackish as \u201cit was all just a dream\u201d and turn it into nightmare fuel . then again , only a master like lang could surreptitiously flip the board at censors by tacking a happy ending onto a tragedy . the woman in the window isn\u2019t just one of lang\u2019s best films , it\u2019s one of noir\u2019s greatest gifts to cinema , a taut psychological mindscrew about the nature of taking life . when is it okay to take a life ? when is it not ? by the film\u2019s own standards , lang\u2019s protagonist , professor wanley , kills the jealous lover of young alice reed in self - defense , which puts him in the clear from our standpoint . but wanley winds up falling further and further into hot water , and we start to question the lesson he teaches his students at the woman in the window \u2019s commencement . it\u2019s such a juicy , complex film , made impeccably and with unshakable style , that there\u2019s no need to wonder at its role in validating cinema as art and causing a sea change in film criticism as a discipline . \u2014 a . c .\nthe plot thickens as the author of the play , leo davis ( frank albertson ) , shows up from oswego to see how the production is going . while he ' s not looking , banelli , faker , and miller steal various possessions from him to hock so they can get some food . when the food finally does arrive , it makes for the funniest scene in the film .\ningrid bergman won her first oscar for playing a vulnerable young woman slowly being driven insane by her charismatic husband in gaslight . and while certainly well earned , bergman\u2019s award - winning portrayal is but one reason to catch this exceptional 1944 psychological thriller . for one , unlike other noirs , gaslight is a period story , set in the edwardian era , and reiterates the frightening notion that evil can emerge not just from the corrupt city setting inherent to the genre but from a domestic context , as well . as the film\u2019s villain , charles boyer delivers a hypnotic , chilling performance that perfectly matches bergman\u2019s volatile characterization . if all that weren\u2019t enough , murder , she wrote fans will be delighted at the feature film debut of an 18 - year - old angela lansbury . \u2014 m . r .\nsince its coining in 1946 by french critic nino frank , who observed from afar something dark , quite literally , going on at the american cinema , the term \u201cfilm noir\u201d has been debated and debated and debated some more . is it a genre ? a subgenre ? a movement ? a trend ? a commentary ? a style ? for the purposes of this introduction , let\u2019s call it a response .\nunlike so many of its peers on this listing , edward dmytryk\u2019s obsession doesn\u2019t lean on violence in its plotting and scheming . but the film isn\u2019t gentle by any stretch . in fact , obsession is one of the more gruesome classic noirs , a slow - burning bit of nastiness that could give breaking bad a run for its money in the body disposal department . dmytryk rides on the strength of great work by robert newton , here playing a psychiatrist who determines to kill his wife\u2019s lover , an american diplomat played by phil brown . ( obviously , because everybody knows that all psychiatrists secretly harbor homicidal urges . ) newton\u2019s a creepy hoot , and dmytryk has such a good handle on his suspense that even the tonal dissonance of unwelcome comedy doesn\u2019t break the film\u2019s insidious spell . \u2014 a . c ."]}

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

right corner of the information pane .\nwith the last showing i could literally hear the plot ticking and the movement through it . we were very fortunate to get finn jones because the audience needs to sort of watch him thread the mouse trap plot that i set for him in the film . he literally has whole reels of silent acting almost like a hitchcock or an early de palma film that he has to bring the audience through the plot .\nit has now been over 10 years since freddy vs jason , the last time we would see englund dawn the patented krueger claws and since then the franchise has received the remake treatment .\nit ' s interesting , actually , the last day that we finished on set was the anniversary of the day i was cast as hermione ,\nshe said .\npolice found her at her home in hednesford , staffordshire on 1 july . she was last seen alive on 27 june .\nthe last showing is a creepy and terrifying psychological thriller from commercials director phil hawkins and former studio executive turned producer alexandra baranska , starring robert englund ( aka freddie kruger ) , rising stars finn jones ( game of thrones ) and emily berrington ( bbc\u2019s the white queen ) with keith allen ( the others ) . one hour photo meets paranormal activity .\nthe only critic on earth who doesn ' t like fox ' s\nlast man on earth\n? you ' re reading her right now .\nthen again , englund doesn ' t look or sound like the character in his latest movie , either . in the last showing , a psychological horror thriller written and directed by the uk ' s phil hawkins , englund plays stuart , a once proud projectionist who , thanks to the advent of digital cinema , finds himself busted down to the lowly position of popcorn vendor and general movie theatre dogsbody .\nthe last showing is a sensational showcase for one of the living legends in the genre providing its star , robert englund , a chance to chew the scenery like a modern vincent price . the script touches on the sad reality of how the rapid changes in technology are changing the lives of those involved , placing its antagonist\u2019s back up against a wall of desperation and futility . the script also leaves the audience wanting far more of that exploration of englund\u2019s stuart and what is driving him to such lengths . writer / director phil hawkins keeps the events based in reality within the realms of the reaches of the lives the characters\u2019 inhabit . while this grounds the film in believability , it does not prove to be all that interesting as the run time screams for something original or shocking to happen . the last showing is best viewed for its star to relish in his talent and his character . it proves lite fare for a horror film in general .\nmain trailer for my feature film the last showing starring horror legend robert englund ( freddy krueger from the nightmare on elm street franchise ) . the film also stars finn jones ( game of thrones , iron fist ) , emily berrington ( 24 : live another day ) , malachi kirby ( gone to far ) , chris geere ( after earth ) and keith allen ( the others )\nthese newly released photographs are some of the last images of kerry cast alive . i hope this will jog the memory of anyone with information or knowledge of the circumstances surrounding her death .\nallie feels ill and runs to the ladies room . she collapses on the bathroom floor and stuart takes her captive . stuart then starts leading martin around the multiplex in a search for allie by showing carefully edited video scenes as part of his movie .\nwhile the supporting characters and storyline falter , \u201cthe last showing\u201d rises in places from an inspired robert englund performance and production design making the most of an intriguing cineplex location . englund fans will not be disappointed with his meaty star turn in a role that is concurrently confident and cowardly . stuart is an intriguing movie villain because he doesn\u2019t possess much physical power . his careful planning is the only thing keeping him in control .\n\u201cthe beautiful and the damned\u201d is not the f . scott fitzgerald work that amazon has chosen to adapt , but it could serve as an alternate title to the handsome and romantic drama \u201cthe last tycoon , \u201d a lovely period piece that contains several top - notch performances .\nthe frustration doesn\u2019t end there . an initially suspicious detective rivals martin for obliviousness . emily berrington is completely cute , totally charming , and delightful to watch . so \u201cthe last showing\u201d knocks her unconscious and leaves her tied up offscreen for a half hour where she is of no value at all . stuart the projectionist fares far better with his characterization , although even his motivation over being marginalized is underplayed when it could have been a more scathing commentary about the transition of physical film to digital projection .\npicked up for distribution by screen media in the u . s . and sony overseas , this mildly scary genre exercise is likely to pull in modest crowds based more on the fanboy appeal of englund and the high tv profile of jones than on its own meager merits . following its world premiere at frightfest 2014 in london today , the last showing goes on brief u . k . cinema release before making its home entertainment debut next week . a similarly low - key u . s . launch follows in the fall .\nthe last showing has a strong pulpy premise , but ultimately lacks the sly humor and jolting shock value required to make it come alive on screen . jones and berrington both give wooden performances , not helped by some risibly stilted dialogue . more seriously , hawkins never makes their predicament feel plausible nor even especially frightening . however dramatically you light it , a sterile multiscreen cinema in suburban england will never be the overlook hotel or a remote woodland cabin . the final showdown also feels contrived , illogical and anticlimactic .\nthe concept behind the last showing is intriguing as stuart moves from scene to scene he has plotted out on index cards crossing them out as he achieves each goal in the script of death . the film hits its high notes when stuart watches his plot play out on the video cameras waiting anxiously for the conflict to resolve , gasping joyfully as they conclude as planned . later he provides his own voice over for the shots caught on silent cameras throughout the theater . it reveals when the character , the actor and the film makers are all having the best time . the script also has enough conviction to stick to stuart\u2019s plan even when it teeters on being discovered by the police as they arrive during the conclusion . the only flaw in the idea is that it falls prey to its own constraints preventing it from surprising the audience with anything imaginative or shocking . sadly this makes for a predictable film .\nanother show debuted on sunday night , too , and though it had the exact same metacritic score as\nlast man ,\nyou might have not read about it just yet . it ' s the cop show\nbattle creek .\nyea that ' s exactly what i am looking for , but not the entire ui , just the\nlast completed spell cast\n. since i am not hosting any tournament , is it just from my screen and my point of view as shadow\n\u201cthe last showing\u201d is a suspense film about a couple seeing a wes craven classic who end up roped into a madman\u2019s scheme to create a bloody thriller of his own and it stars one of the most recognizable genre icons there has ever been . everything about the production and the premise is tailored for maximum appeal to horror film fans , yet the primary protagonist is someone who proclaims that horror movies are \u201call so cheesy . \u201d part of the theme may be to put someone disdainful of scary movies inside a real nightmare scenario , but it counteracts the need to make martin relatable to an audience that doesn\u2019t identify with his attitude , and doesn\u2019t find the way he woos allie to be attractive .\nthe script for the last showing skirts around the effects of the modernization of cinemas has upon its antagonist , stuart ( englund ) , only teasing and insinuating that he is no longer a valued employee and that his skill set is antiquated . even so the film continues as if this sketch of his character is enough to have the audience identify with his situation . it is enough to propel the story , but not enough to engage fully , which is a shame . the script concentrates on stuart\u2019s elaborate plan and its execution as martin ( jones ) , allie ( berrington ) and clive ( kirby ) are manipulated and toyed with . the script also takes a variety of liberties to ensure that the only persons left in the theaters are our small cast . then the film becomes a modern version of theater of blood ( 1974 ) without the imagination .\nthe truth is , for all its well - appointed period trappings , \u201cthe last tycoon\u201d excels at depicting one of the most enticing addictions of all \u2014 the helpless devotion storytellers have to their craft . movie men ( and women ) tell themselves they\u2019re not going to sacrifice their deepest beliefs , or their souls , or the people they love , to the craven gods of hollywood .\nwriter / director phil hawkins shows great promise as a young director with a bright future . he displays a great confidence in his film with solid composition and a fluid pace . but he does not appear to be ready reach beyond his grasp , at least not within the last showing . he embraces his stars and makes the most of the environment and locales giving the film a strong sense of normalcy rendered askew by his character stuart\u2019s directions . but greatness is just out of reach , his script\u2019s imagination is restrained , the boldness and audacity held back . the ideas fueling the film suggests something a bit more dangerous , more unpredictable . a little more delicate foreshadowing would go a long way .\n\u201cthe beautiful and the damned\u201d is not the f . scott fitzgerald work that amazon has chosen to adapt , but it could serve as an alternate title to the handsome and romantic drama \u201cthe last tycoon , \u201d a lovely period piece that contains several top -

suffering wife , rose ( rosemarie dewitt ) , has fallen out of love with him , but her reasons for forgiving him can be far more difficult to discern . and as the love affairs and rivalries deepen , some subplots simply don\u2019t rise to the level of the best scenes between brady and monroe or between monroe and kathleen ( a fine dominique mcelligott ) , a mysterious woman who comes into the younger executive\u2019s life .\na poem like \u201cmy last duchess\u201d calculatedly engages its readers on a psychological level . because we hear only the duke\u2019s musings , we must piece the story together ourselves . browning forces his reader to become involved in the poem in order to understand it , and this adds to the fun of reading his work . it also forces the reader to question his or her own response to the subject portrayed and the method of its portrayal . we are forced to consider , which aspect of the poem dominates : the horror of the duchess\u2019s fate , or the beauty of the language and the powerful dramatic development ? thus by posing this question the poem firstly tests the victorian reader\u2019s response to the modern world\u2014git asks , has everyday life made you numb yet ? \u2014gand secondly asks a question that must be asked of all art\u2014git queries , does art have a moral component , or is it merely an aesthetic exercise ? in these latter considerations browning prefigures writers like charles baudelaire and oscar wilde .\nstep 3 . arrive at the event and walk in without waiting in the queue .\nin real life , dolan is the surname of the archbishop of new york city .\nfresh from her television appearance looking aghast at her brother warren beatty after the already legendary best -

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

[ 15 ] when zuko was banished from the fire nation , azula officially became ozai ' s heir . for the next three years , she would continue her relentless training in firebending , strategy , and combat , until she refined herself enough to serve her father . by this time , her firebending advanced to the level where her fire was blue and she could create lightning , thus increasing her overall bending power and intensity , making her a formidable opponent .\n\u201cthe fire crew , ambulance and police couldn\u2019t do anything , they couldn\u2019t get in , and they were just telling them to stay where they are , and we\u2019ll come and get you , \u201d she said .\nazula was the princess of the fire nation , daughter of fire lord ozai and ursa , younger sister of zuko , older half - sister of kiyi , paternal aunt of izumi , and great aunt of iroh . she was a key adversary of team avatar , [ 4 ] chasing avatar aang and her banished brother far across the earth kingdom accompanied by her two best friends at the time , mai and ty lee .\nazura is a main playable character and the deuteragonist in fire emblem fates . she is a princess of valla and nohr , but was captured and held prisoner by hoshido , similar to the avatar ' s situation .\nall the vocals on \u201celectric blue\u201d are sung in a dreamy , high register in the manner of seminal disco groups like the bee gees . the video follows arcade fire \u2019s r\u00e9gine chassagne as she struts through new orleans at night . the clip was filmed in the city during mardi gras season , and chassagne dances through dark streets that are covered with trash from the celebrations . as she grooves , city workers and garbage trucks flow around her , attempting to clean up the mess .\nblue flame is about the catholics and the cathars , two religious groups who once lived in peace but are soon going to be torn apart by a religious crusade . in the midst of the battle two lifelong friends , raimon ( a cathar ) , and yolanda ( a catholic ) are falling in love . their romance is ill - fated - because they come from two completely different backgrounds , they must return to their separate families and proceed on the path destiny has given them . their only salvation is the blue flame , a myster\nfans of grant ' s degranville trilogy will enjoy this tale of knights , a fair maiden , and the blue flame . part one of the perfect fire trilogy ; the central theme revolves around religious intolerance in an area known as occitania , where cathars and catholics live together harmoniously during the 13th century . all of that changes , however , when the inquisitor comes to town . the two young protagonists , the boy cathar - the girl catholic , are thrown a frantic fight to save their friends and loved one\nwhen they arrive at riverrun , brienne wants to leave to take revenge with renly ' s sword on stannis for renly ' s death , but catelyn convinces brienne to enter her service instead .

[ 21 ]\n\u201cafterwards , i spoke to the fire officer , the same one . he had been working right through the night and he said they could only get to the 11th floor \u2014 that was as far as they got , \u201d he said .\nif the finale of the seventh season of game of thrones says anything , it is that this show has failed its fans , and has been doing so slowly for a long time . it did not want to admit it , nor did they . but alas , it ' s happened and all that hope and emotional investment has been reduced to a series of bullet points and cartoons , an empty dragon breathing blue fire with all the cgi fury of a broken promise with too much momentum behind it to do anything else .\nup north , littlefinger seemed to have duped sansa into believing that arya poses a threat to her role as lady of winterfell\u2014the operative word being seemed , of course , as sansa pulled a grand okey - doke and sentenced lord baelish to death by arya . then , of course , we got . . . well , we got # boatsex , intercut with the confirmation that jon snow isn\u2019t a bastard at all , but a full - blooded targaryen , and thus the true heir to the iron throne . and finally , we got a peek at zombidragon in action earlier than we\u2019d expected , as viserion blue - flamed eastwatch into rubble and the army of the dead marched into westeros .\nbrienne has spent most of her life as the object of scorn , rejection and\u2014at best\u2014pity . when she tried to dress and act like a proper lady , she was met with mockery and disdain for her unattractive appearance and lack of feminine social graces ; when she turned to a career more suited to her talents as a warrior , she received only contempt and resentment for her gender despite her considerable skill . [ 12 ] perhaps because of this background , brienne is as awkward in personality as she is in appearance . while lady maege and dacey mormont have found respect and acceptance as female warriors [ 13 ] , brienne yearns for respect and acceptance from others , and easily gives her love and loyalty to the few people who treat her with any degree of genuine courtesy . [ 14 ] [ 15 ]\nsometime after her exile , azula returned to the fire nation capital in secret . having finally accepted that she would never be fire lord , azula resorted to manipulate zuko into becoming a tyrant . gathering a group of female supporters , she took on the guise of the mythical kemurikage to intimidate ukano into attempting to overthrow zuko . when that failed , azula and her followers resorted to kidnapping children in the capital , setting the city into civil unrest . though zuko and his allies were able to rescue the children , azula and her followers escaped .\nazura has two different voice actresses in japanese : her normal voice actress is lynn while her singing voice is provided by renka . this has been seen in previous fire emblem games when other characters had to sing ( like ashunera and sephiran in radiant dawn and possibly micaiah ) .\nty lee , azula , and mai disguised themselves as the kyoshi warriors , successfully infiltrated the earth king ' s circle of trust , gained control of the dai li and enacted the coup of ba sing se , thus allmost granting the fire nation complete victory in the war .\nfans of grant ' s degranville trilogy will enjoy this tale of knights , a fair maiden , and the blue flame . part one of the perfect fire trilogy ; the central theme revolves around religious intolerance in an area known as occitania , where cathars and catholics live together harmoniously during the 13th century . all of that changes , however , when the inquisitor comes to town . the two young protagonists , the boy cathar - the girl catholic , are thrown a frantic fight to save their friends and loved ones . grant offers the perfect mix of action and romance to keep readers of either genre interested .\nbrienne ' s dented steel armor is a brilliant , deep blue cobalt . she wears a velvet doublet quartered rose - and - azure , breeches and boots and a fine - tooled swordbelt . her horse is barded with the quartered sun - and - moon heraldry of house tarth . [ 1 ] brienne wields a blunt morningstar during melees . [ 1 ]\nit was a fist - pump moment , awaited ever since petyr baelish revealed his sleazy skills early on in the show , and it represented a clear rite of passage for all three of the stark children involved . the sansa audiences first met would never have been able to make the call that the lady of winterfell made here . arya had to train to become the brutal killer who so casually slashed littlefinger\u2019s throat . and bran had to lose himself completely to make his appearance as expert witness three - eyed raven .\nazula demonstrated the ability to condense her flames , enabling her fire to cut clean through various objects . when formed into fireballs , the flames had a powerful concussive effect , able to firmly pulverize stone objects . she was also able to generate powerful shields of swirling flames that could withstand the full force of four simultaneous elemental attacks ( and a boomerang ) . [ 28 ] she was even able to charge up her fire before releasing it , something she used during her fight with aang . [ 29 ] azula was also capable of fighting off and defeating multiple kyoshi warriors , using both firebending and hand - to - hand techniques . [ 30 ]\nshortly after zhao ' s failed siege on the northern water tribe , azula was summoned by her father to his throne room . as she knelt before fire lord ozai , he commented that zuko was a failure and iroh was a traitor . he charged her with a mission : to find and capture her uncle and brother . [ 16 ]\n\u201cbut things quickly escalated beyond measure and they couldn\u2019t go back in and get them , \u201d she said . \u201cwithin another 15 minutes the whole thing was up in flames and there were still people at their windows shouting , \u2018help me ! \u2019 you could see the fire going into their houses and engulfing the last room that they were in . \u201d\nthere\u2019s a math - problem simplicity to the wall solution . in the behind - the - scenes look that follows the episode , showrunners david benioff and d . b . weiss acknowledge that a dragon was a great option for punching a hole through the wall , and it suddenly makes the use of the dragons earlier in the season seem even more impressive and efficient . they were used to convince jaime lannister that it was impossible to fight against dany and her forces ( just one of many decisions that led to him finally breaking ranks with his sister in \u201cthe dragon and the wolf\u201d ) ; they were used as emotional stakes for dany , leading to her decision to join jon and battle the army of the dead ; and here was a dragon again , a blue - fire sword to the wall\u2019s gordian knot .\nafter azula left ba sing se , the throne of the earth king became vacant , while joo dee was appointed the de - jure ruler of ba sing se as\nsupreme bureaucratic administrator\nand fire lord ozai became the de - facto ruler of the earth kingdom . however , earth king kuei eventually returned to his rightful position in summer 100 ag , ending the interregnum .\na romeo and juliet story of two young people on opposite sides of the religious arguments of 1242 france . they are most certainly doomed . enter sir parsifal . just parsifal , please . he holds the mysterious blue flame that may be able to save these two and the land at war . even though this book does not discuss king arthur directly , i list it as a king arthur novel as parsifal was one of arthur ' s knights .\nas azula gradually lost her sanity prior to the arrival of sozin ' s comet , her firebending became unfocused and wild , which , combined with the comet ' s empowering effects , made her all the more dangerous . however it also resulted in her becoming exhausted more easily than usual . despite her state of mind , her attacks on zuko and katara during her final duel proved ferocious and destructive , and she was still able to fire lightning accurately . [ 1 ] however , her mental instability still weakened her battlefield prowess , and this ultimately resulted in her defeat at the hands of katara . she displayed the ability to breathe fire as she struggled against her chains , but this was only brought about by her madness and rage in her defeat . [ 10 ]\nazula often displayed her natural talents , along with her tendency for malice and perfection , but these traits were especially clear when the princess played with her friends in the royal garden in 95 ag . when ty lee successfully performed a cartwheel after azula ' s failed attempt , she shoved her friend to the ground out of jealousy while laughing gleefully . when she saw ten - year - old mai attempting to hide her crush on her brother zuko , azula used her acting and cunning to convince her mother to make zuko play with them . during their game , she placed an apple on mai ' s head and set it on fire , forcing zuko to tackle mai into a fountain to put out the fire . she found great pleasure in embarrassing the two of them . [ 11 ]\nyolanda , on the verge of womanhood , is the daughter of a count in medieval occitan . with the threat of france invading occitan and the religious persecution between the catholics and cathars , her countrymen find solace in the myth of the blue flame - - and then it makes a mysterious appearance . what a well written ya book ! lately , i ' ve been reading a lot of ya ' s with good stories but mediocre language . grant is very talented .\nlater in the march , brienne proves her mettle with a morningstar in a melee at bitterbridge , defeating ser loras tyrell , the knight of flowers , as well as many of her mocking suitors . she asks to join the rainbow guard as her prize , becoming brienne the blue . she sharply reminds catelyn stark of the courtesy due a king , and is later dismayed when renly denies the need for an escort for a stroll after the night ' s feast . [ 1 ]\nthe first book of a new trilogy . . . this follows a time in england after richard the lionheart is murdered . the blue flame is a legend that exists and the man who has been hiding it is found by a young man and woman , one of cathar blood , the other of christian and royal , respectively . there is an introduction of an inquisition in this land and the boy is pursued while the young woman is sought after by a knight from france .\nduring the middle ages in the ancient area of occitania ( pyrenees and southern france ) , best friends yolanda ( almost 14 yrs ) and raimon ( 16 ) are falling in love amidst the threat of invasion by french king louis and growing religious tension between catholics and cathars . the arrival of a catholic inquisitor to yolanda\u2019s catholic father\u2019s castle puts raimon and his cathar family in danger and pits neighbor against neighbor . the blue flame , a legendary religious relic sparked at the moment of ch\nas a singer , azura ' s base stat total is lower than most other units in the game . even when not taking her sapphire lance + into account , she stands little chance green units of any sort and most blue units dispose of her easily if she is left in vulnerable range . she can only stay relatively safe in the range of red units , but for the most part , azura would rather avoid conflict as much as possible and leave combat to more capable units .\nazula eventually found zuko and iroh in a village resort and attempted to capture them both , luring zuko with the false promise of being accepted home with open arms . her initial plan of louring her two dissident family members was ultimately thwarted by her own ship ' s captain , who accidentally revealed their true intentions to zuko and iroh . a skirmish ensued , in which azula was thorwn overboard , thus allowing zuko and iroh to escape . after some time searching for the avatar , azula eventually encountered him and his friends in omashu , and attempted to capture him by enlisting her childhood friends ty lee and mai , a plot which ultimaltely failed but firmly secured the city into the hands of the fire nation . azula continued to pursue the avatar , zuko , and iroh for several weeks , utilizing specialized fire nation military equipment , such as the tank train .\na true tactician , azula desired power from a young age , suggesting that her father would make a better fire lord than the heir apparent , her uncle iroh . she torched a doll that her uncle had sent her as a gift from the earth kingdom , preferring the weapon zuko had gotten over a simple doll . not long after this , her cousin lu ten was killed in battle , prompting iroh to abandon his legendary six - hundred - day siege of ba sing se , which in turn prompted azula to call him\na quitter and a loser\n. she even showed some slight disrespect to her grandfather , as when she was told to call him\nfire lord azulon\n, she responded with ,\ncan ' t we just call him grandfather ? he ' s not exactly the powerful firebender he used to be\n.

[ 32 ] [ 33 ]\nthis film holds up well since it was made in the late 70\u2019s , all except for the bell bottom blue jeans ! there is nothing graphic in any way , just a bit of innuendo when a woman mentions a big - chested woman on television . the language is fairly mild and the story is interesting . if the viewer doesn\u2019t like horses at least a little , it might not be such a great viewing experience but most people will enjoy the story and the scenery . the acting is good and the script is solid . however , due to some mild language , we recommend the film for ages 12 and over .\nso basically , i didn ' t realize that this fell into the juvenile fiction genre until after it was sitting on my shelf to be read . * fail * needless to say , due to this fact , it didn ' t particularly thrill or engage me in anyway . which is alright , because i ' m not in the juvenile age range , so that ' s kinda to be expected . anyway . the plot of blue flame centers around two young teens - - 14ish year olds - - in medieval occitan , which is located in some part of the world i couldn ' t quite gather and i don ' t t\nthough azula was clearly favored by ozai , she felt that her mother loved zuko much more than her , creating a rift of jealousy between her and ursa and zuko . confronted daily with this mother / son bonding , azula often attempted to gain ursa ' s attention in some way . however , these attempts usually resulted in family quarrels . around 94 ag , azula walked together with her mother and brother in the royal garden . feeling neglected and bored as ursa only talked with zuko , azula ignited a flower , prompting zuko to tell on her to ursa . ursa scolded azula for disrespecting the royal garden , but the princess just said that the flower\ndeserved it\n, as it had not grown to her liking . in retaliation for telling on her , the fire nation princess burned zuko ' s bottom , calling him a tattletale . however , ursa promptly sent her to her room . scowling over this treatment , azula stormed off . [ 14 ] scenes like this became regular occurrences , and as a result , the fire princess developed an increasing hostile attitude toward zuko and ursa .\nazula found her brother sitting with aang at the edge of a cliff . frustrated , she shot fire blasts at him and a duel broke out . while aang ran back to check up on sokka and katara , azula was grabbed by zuko and held over the cliff while she accused their mother of tipping him off to the letter ' s location , before learning that he had held it all night . zuko requested that they stop their fighting , to which azula agreed , and they both returned to camp . after the rest of the team put out the fires , the entire group continued their journey to hira ' a . [ 14 ]\nblue flame is easily one of the best written books of this age that i have ever read . the story itself kept me entertained but would not have earned such a high rating purely by itself . description was crisp but not overpowering and things that could have been quite lame written by anyone else were attention capturing . i could not put this book down . there were so many stories within the story that i could barely keep up and figure out which one to follow ( this is a good feeling when i ' m reading books because it makes me feel like the book isn ' t just words on a page but alive ) . the plot was thrilling and dangerous twisted in with rich romance and sprinkled delicately with tragedy . this book is one to recommend .\nazula harbored deep mental instabilities , believing her mother loved zuko more than her . [ 8 ] raised by her father in an environment without a mother - figure , azula had to be nothing less than perfect in her father ' s eyes just to earn any affection from him . after the betrayal of her two closest friends mai and ty lee , these instabilities were brought up to the surface . [ 1 ] upon the arrival of sozin ' s comet , azula was soon to be crowned fire lord ; [ 9 ] however , her defeat at the hands of her brother zuko and katara caused her to suffer a complete mental breakdown . [ 10 ]\nafter her agni kai with zuko and subsequent mental breakdown , azula was committed to an asylum on a nearby island , where she was continuously monitored . [ 12 ] about a year later , she was visited by her brother , who told her that he had consulted with ozai on several occasions in an attempt to learn ursa ' s whereabouts , to no avail . answering his request for help , azula said that she needed nothing in return for her assistance , as the mere knowledge of being of service to the fire lord would be enough satisfaction . she also stated that she had been wondering as well what exactly happened to their mother following her disappearance six years earlier . [ 17 ]\nthere are many religions in this show , some of them revealed as \u201creal , \u201d the ones that take the form of shadows that have knives , prophecies that open like veins , ordained saviors so powerful that the fire cannot touch them . but if you think about the religion of the series , the one that has propelled fans to obsess for hundreds of thousands of hours about its internal consistencies and inconsistencies , here is its true article of faith : people thought there was a reason . they believed this was going somewhere that was known , to a prophecy or larger truth , to an ending that made a sort of sense , to something that made all that devotion worth it in the end .\nbut here at the end , where it asks that no one look beyond an individual moment of horror or glory , beyond the theatrical grandeur of a dragon breathing fire or an army marching rudderless into a great battle , its narrative scope is failing . and so viewers descend into the great nightmare of being a writer , staring down the outline of a story and having no idea how to bridge from one choice to another , when there are no answers to give . what do you do when they turn to you and ask what it all means , and why you have been doing this for so long ? you stumble and gibber and with nothing else to offer , you say : absolute goddamn nonsense .\nas for looking ahead to season 8 , i ' ll go out on limb and predict two things . 1 ) there will be a cleganebowl ; and 2 ) the night king is a stark . maybe even bran ( i ' ll drink the game of theories dornish wine ) . this would set up the heartbreaking twist we ' ve come to expect from got . if the night king is a stark\u2014specifically bran\u2014and jon / aegon loves dany , somehow , the writers will set it up so jon / aegon , a stark / targaryen\u2014and a figure deserving of a song of fire and ice\u2014will have to choose between them , i imagine in an epic battle that requires he must either kill the night king or save his queen .\nonly\u2026 the brothers didn\u2019t seem all that interested in bowling . the hound confronts the mountain by talking about ugly he\u2019s become over time , then teases him with \u201cthat\u2019s not how it ends for you , brother . you know who\u2019s coming for you . you\u2019ve always known . \u201d is this a threat of a futurebowl ? a reference to something the hound saw in the fire , thanks to the lord of light ? something else entirely ? who knows ! all i can tell you is that after another round of cleganebowl build - up , the hound said some mean things , and then simply walked away into a hole in the floor of the dragonpit . it was so anticlimactic , i couldn\u2019t help but laugh . perhaps there will be better bowling next year .\nperforming arts azura is near identical to her standard variation , having only a one point decrease to her hp and defense in exchange for a one point increase to her atk and spd . as such , azura remains a powerful dueling singing unit . however , her biggest perk is her own personal weapon ur\u00f0r which allows her refreshing ability to also be a 3 point buff to all stats , except for hp , to any ally she sings for . it does , however , mean that azura ' s supporting comes at its strongest after she sings . nevertheless , performing arts azura is a powerful ally and worth the effort to obtain , especially if she is paired with a blade tome user who appreciates the stat buffs even if it is delayed . azura comes with triangle adept 3 which solidifies herself as a blue unit counter . drive resistance is a serviceable support skill to assist allies in combat .\nthis book was refreshing for me as i have been either reading fantasy or short\ncotton candy\nnovels lately . it ' s historical fiction , and i love how gran creates a fictional story to tell the true one . daikon and yolanda have been best friends forever , but now everything is changing . before , it didn ' t matter that he was a cathar and she was a catholic . but people are choosing sides and raiman and yolanda don ' t know what to do . maybe the blue flame will come and save them - yet again , maybe not . in this book , grant decides to uniquely use the land as the narrator . i think it adds more depth and feeling to the story so that the readers care more about the plot . history , romance , uncertainty , and adventure abound in this first novel of the perfect flame trilogy . i loved it .\nmonths later , azula and her family ate together at the palace dining hall . the princess , dissatisfied with the conservative training techniques of her firebending teacher , happily told her father that she set his britches on fire after being lectured by him . ozai agreed that the teacher sounded like a fool for insisting on specified forms and declared that he would send him to the colonies as punishment . full of spiteful joy , azula said that it\nserve [ d ] him right\nand called him a\ndummy\n. when zuko attempted to defend the tutor , he was promptly silenced by his father , who reprimanded him for his poor firebending skills and compared him with azula and her natural talent for the bending art . ozai revealed that he nearly discarded zuko at birth , believing the prince to be a nonbender , causing azula to smile triumphantly at her shocked brother . [ 14 ]\nthe next day , the princess was awoken by another hallucination of ursa . she was urged by her mother to stop what she was doing , as ursa believed it was not azula ' s destiny to assume the throne . in response , azula intended to shoot her mother with lightning , but ursa only pleaded with her more urgently to find her true destiny . azula snapped out of her hallucination with katara ' s hand in her grip ; sokka prepared his boomerang to strike her , but katara managed to calm the unstable firebender down . after her outburst , azula discovered that the letter she had kept was missing and immediately assumed that zuko had taken it . her brother was not at camp , however , and azula threatened sokka and katara with fire to force them tell her where zuko had gone . after burning down a few nearby trees and bushes , she stormed off after zuko . [ 14 ]\nsome time later , azula abducted kiyi , but was discovered by zuko , aang , ty lee and suki . in the ensuing fight , azula revealed herself by shooting lightning . zuko redirected it at her , only for azula to redirect her lightning back at him . azula and her cohort managed to successfully get away with kiyi through a secret passage . after locking up her half - sister with the other children , zirin was starting to get very impatient with azula about keeping the children for long . however , azula calmly asked her and the other friends to be patient , as she had a plan . azula and ukano discussed how keeping the children is going nowhere and ukano revealed that he is upset that tom - tom is kept as prisoner . azula ordered ukano to gather his safe nation society to start rioting in the streets , although ukano did not understand how this will help ozai become fire lord , azula softly said that her father was never the plan ."]}

fest its halloween - proximate release might suggest , ' stoneheart asylum ' is a handsome psychological cat - and - mouse game featuring excellent performances by a powerhouse cast .\nat this point , anytime i see a movie about someone visiting a mysterious asylum i can pretty much guess what the twist is going to be . it makes the whole movie a chore to watch .\nhe meets the man in charge ( played by ben kingsley ) and is surprised by the unusual methods of treatment he has for some of his patients . you do get a feeling that something isn ' t quite right at stonehearst and those suspicions are soon confirmed .\nthe lack of thematic substance wouldn\u2019t be an issue if \u201cstonehearst asylum\u201d had the personality it should have with someone as talented as anderson at the helm . \u201cstonehearst\u201d should be a hammer film , rich with dark corridors and oppressive shadows . while the production design may be authentic , and one can admire anderson\u2019s desire to stay truthful with his period , it leads to a film that\u2019s surprisingly dull visually . i like that anderson doesn\u2019t resort to jump scares or other modern horror techniques , but he hasn\u2019t replaced those tricks of the trade with the dread required for this story to work . of course , it\u2019s not anderson\u2019s fault that gangemi\u2019s script is shallow and repetitive\u2014there has to be at least 12 scenes of newgate trying and failing to convince graves to leave , for example .\ncommon criticism for the film centered upon what the reviewers felt was the film ' s failure to live up to its full potential , considering its atmosphere and all - a - list cast , except for the main character , jim sturgess , a relative unknown . and the los angeles times wrote ,\non the surface , anderson seems to have all the necessary pieces for a surreal psycho pop . but the fear factor eludes him , leaving\nstonehearst asylum\nmore insipid than insane .\nthe psychology is there too . the setting is a british insane asylum whose troubled patients on a snowy christmas eve in 1899 occupy a once - mannerly estate that has slipped into very ill - mannered debauchery and decay .\nbut newgate begins to have his suspicions about stonehearst , starts poking around and\u2013this isn ' t a spoiler , since it takes place a half - hour into a movie that runs nearly two hours\u2013discovers the real staff is locked up in the maze of old - school iron cages in the basement . the inmates are now running the asylum . but rather than ride off and return with the authorities , dr . newgate stays , a prisoner of his love for the skittish mrs . graves and\u2026well , that would be telling .\nthe rest of the score doesn\u2019t lose this pace . it ends up as a very enjoyable listen . sometimes crazy fantasy , sometimes scary , sometimes adventurous , \u201cstonehearst asylum\u201d delivers in the end . i got a couple of cues that even reminded me of debney\u2019s \u201cend of days score\u201d , while others were simply fun to listen to . \u201cfinn catches fire / escape\u201d for example experiments with all sort of scary sounds and it works . the score waltzes its way to the end and i am left with a very good feeling .\nperhaps it ' s apt that a decrepit boiler room is one of stonehearst asylum ' s major settings . in his latest outing , brad anderson has basically thrown everything into the film ' s furnace so as to keep its wobbly narrative running \u2014 to no avail , sadly : as the leaps between genre tropes and divergent threads exposes ever wider plot holes , this incoherent adaptation of an edgar allan poe ( joe gangemi wrote the screenplay ) short story attempts endless twists and turns , culminating in a supposedly cathartic denouement drenched in sap .\nin this war of asylum - set attrition , the good guy is edward newgate ( jim sturgess ) , who arrives on christmas eve , 1899 , at a far - flung mental institution to take up the job as a physicist ; the bad guy , meanwhile , is silas lamb ( ben kingsley ) , the asylum ' s superintendent , whose seemingly benign approach toward his charges \u2014 among them eliza \u2014 is shattered when newgate discovers the awful truth in that basement boiler room .\nthe lunatics have seldom taken over the asylum so literally , yet to so little reward , as in \u201cstonehearst asylum . \u201d not exactly qualifying as horror , costume drama , mystery , parable or satire , this well -

looking production will face a long slog recouping its costs .\nlater , a young man , the newly - minted dr . edward newgate , ( jim sturgess ) , arrives at stonehearst asylum on christmas eve , where he desires to take up residency . a group of armed men led by mickey finn ( david thewlis ) allow him entry . finn escorts him to the office of the superintendent , dr . silas lamb ( ben kingsley ) . although lamb was not expecting him , despite newgate having sent letters preceding his arrival , he welcomes the help of an oxford -

acted , and entertainingly executed , stonehearst asylum is a nice under - the - radar psychological thriller piece . in it , we find a recent medical school grad taking up a position at a mental institution , turn of the century , only to find things are not as they seem . there are twists , turns , and horror , albeit with some raised eyebrows . that stonehearst is even remotely compelling is due mostly to its cast , a talented ensemble team . none more exciting to watch , however , than ben kingsley , whose embodiment of his character steals the attention in every scene . to be sure , the twists do start to get ahead of the film , and the third act almost falls apart . yet , the originality in the beginning , and the slow unveil make it standout , along with the strong performances . interesting . 3 . 5 / 5 stars\none patient in particular grabs newgate\u2019s attention : eliza graves ( kate beckingsale ) , a proper victorian woman whose husband had her taken away to the funny farm to quell her sinful desires . newgate\u2019s first hint that something is amiss at stonehearst comes the first night , when eliza warns him to flee before silas can spot him slipping away . he dismisses her warnings ( she is crazy after all , right ? ) and as newgate digs further into the secrets of the asylum , he uncovers a conspiracy that involves michael caine locked up in the basement \u2013 never a good sign .\nthe last scene shows an open -

hearted fashion , with results that are neither sufficiently plausible nor fantastical .\nbut the scare , that terror of being locked away and at the mercy of the barbaric\nremedies\nused at the time to treat mental ails , never takes hold . the scene is certainly macabre with stonehearst patients encouraged to indulge their delusions and mingle freely about the place . and nothing , including the hospital staff , is what it seems .\nlady graves and the impostor newgate end the film at the santa cristina asylum in tuscany , italy , where they are known as dr . and mrs . lamb , treating mental patients with the original lamb ' s methods . the two dance happily and embrace in a beautiful garden .\nthe original story on which eliza graves is based - the system of doctor tarr and professor fether - is a dark comedy about a wandering traveller who , out of curiosity , investigates an insane asylum that is reputed to employ a highly liberal method of treatment that allows patients to wander freely about the grounds , and encourages the doctors to freely indulge and even encourage their delusions . upon arriving at the asylum , however , the traveler discovers the patients locked away in cells and is told that an incident occurred a few weeks prior that forced the suspension of the ' soothing system ' .\nnewgate immediately falls for one of the patients , a beautiful , well - bred woman who plays piano for the inmates . eliza ( kate beckinsale ) is there for\nhysterics\n, having attacked her abusive and powerful , well - connected husband who had her committed . eliza , recognizing that newgate is a compassionate man , begs him to flee stonehearst but he refuses to leave without her .\nstonehearst asylum isn\u2019t devoid of merit though . it\u2019s actually a very good idea for a film . there\u2019s some lovely cinematography , some decent performances , and some nice ideas , but overall , it ends up feeling very ho - hum . and being that it\u2019s based upon a story by edgar allan poe , i couldn\u2019t help but wonder what it could have been if it had been made into a roger corman film with vincent price starring in ben kingsley\u2019s role . the story has the kind of feel of the fall of the house of usher to me , and it could have been a wonderful film indeed . as such , the film is still worth seeing , but will probably leave you feeling disgruntled .\nit\u2019s familiar territory for sir ben , who we last saw in diagnosis mode in the 2010 mind bender shutter island . and while the exclusive trailer offers only glimpses of him in the same frame with sir michael ( who plays the asylum\u2019s imprisoned former superintendent ) , you\u2019d be mad to think these titans won\u2019t eventually clash .\nlady graves , now a resident at stonehearst , is introduced to newgate , who appears immediately smitten . lamb explains that the lady graves has an abusive and painful past . she developed hysteria from enduring her husband ' s\nunnatural appetites\nand can no longer bear emotional or physical contact without seizing in hysterical fits . she stabbed her husband in the right eye with a comb and bit off his left ear trying to protect herself , which led to her father committing her into the asylum to escape her marriage to her\nmonster\nof a husband . her husband has since been trying to free her back into his care . dr . lamb is currently prescribing musical therapy for her and refuses to declare her sane , for her own safety .\nnow then , stonehearst asylum is a film that probably reads better on paper than it does on film , and considering its literary source , it\u2019s not hard to understand why . this is certainly not a straight adaptation of the original poe story , but the main plot and some of the story ideas are very much present . that being said , it\u2019s my belief that the writer of this film was trying a little bit too hard to conceal the mystery before revealing it with the film\u2019s twist ending , which is actually the most disappointing aspect of the film as a whole . never mind that some of the character motivations and the actors\u2019 performances are lackluster , or that the story itself is quite predictable , but that twist ending really damages the entire experience as a whole .\nin hope of becoming a resident and in search of experience , edward newgate , a promising young doctor who has recently graduated from oxford , arrives at the stonehearst institution for the mentally ill , in 1899 . however , right from the start , it is quite clear that the superintendent dr silas lamb ' s unorthodox methods of treatment seem to have no positive effect on the patients , furthermore , there is a strange feeling that there is more to the asylum than meets the eye . little by little , as edward becomes infatuated with the mysteriously alluring inmate , eliza graves , reconciling lamb ' s practices with his fresh ideas about therapy , will soon lead to a startling and unexpected discovery . in the end , who can be trusted in a place where nothing is as it seems ?\nthe opening scene of \u201cstonehearst asylum\u201d sets up a film that , sadly , doesn\u2019t follow . a young woman named eliza graves ( kate beckinsale ) is being paraded in front of a room of mental health experts . the doctor in charge ( brendan gleeson ) claims that she is mentally ill , however anderson films the scene in a way that makes the men in the room menacing , teasing a film that should follow about how much energy was expended in medical circles to marginalize what was perceived as a lesser gender . female sexuality was an illness to be cured . and yet even this opening scene is something of a misdirect . as gleeson\u2019s mad doctor says , quoting directly from the poe story on which this is loosely based , \u201c believe nothing you hear , and only half that you see . \u201d\ngangemi ' s script has apparently changed a few details and fleshed out the story . the main character is now a harvard medical school graduate , the eponymous eliza graves , who arrives at the asylum and begins falling for one of the doctors there only to discover - like the protagonist of poe ' s story - that all is not as it seems .\nasylum , an institution that specializes in the treatment of mentally disordered members of distinguished families\u2013there ' s even a relative of the queen among its 200 residents . and at first he ' s pleasantly surprised : though isolated , it ' s not a crumbling hellhole and superintendent dr . lamb ( ben kingsley ) makes it clear from the outset that he and the previous superintendent , dr . salt ( michael\nchristmas day , 1899 . a well - dressed young man is walking along a foggy english back - country road , suitcase in hand . two locals\u2014a girl and her father\u2014stop their cart to ask whether he needs a ride . he politely accepts and introduces himself . his name is newgate , and he\u2019s an alienist\u2014what we\u2019d call a psychiatrist nowadays\u2014on his way to start an internship at stonehearst , a secluded institution that caters to the rich and privileged , black sheep afflicted with everything from schizophrenia and pyromania to \u201cfemale hysteria\u201d and \u201cincurable homosexuality . \u201d\nnewgate sneaks into lamb ' s office and successfully retrieves salt ' s notes , but not the keys . while hiding , he overhears lamb and finn discussing him . finn is deeply suspicious of newgate , but lamb believes newgate shows promise and could be a great asylum doctor one day . both acknowledge the prisoners in the basement , and lamb promises that the loose ends will be tied up by the new year .\nlater , lady graves ' husband and the earlier oxford professor arrive at the asylum . the asylum has been restored to a gentler order under the kind hand of mrs . pike , who is now in charge and has incorporated many of lamb ' s methods of treatment . the professor demands lady graves ' release , but mrs . pike says that dr . newgate already released her weeks ago . the professor reveals that he is the true dr . newgate and the one they knew is an imposter . the dr . newgate they met was never a medical student , nor a doctor at all , but an escaped mental patient who had also been part of the exhibition . dr . lamb , playing chess with the reduced dr . salt , hears this and shows a spark of his previous self as he gleefully remarks\ncheckmate .\nwhile the patients are happy and thriving , there are some definite failings to lamb ' s method of running the asylum . they are quickly running out of provisions and having difficulties keeping up with the every - day demands of the large institution , such as heating the building in winter . some of the more violent patients , such as finn , are also difficult to control , and he eventually murders a female patient .\ni\u2019m not sure what the director of the machinist is doing directing such a run of the mill asylum movie . the plot is so paper thin and overdone that a small child could see it coming a mile away . but yet here we are with brad anderson at the helm directing this hunk of junk . it\u2019s so formulaic that it seems as though anderson is going out of his way to bore his audience to death .\nthough she brushes aside newgate ' s attempts at flirtation , she is struck by his empathy and respectful demeanor . an elaborate christmas feast follows , during which the staff and patients mingle and a small fight between newgate and finn occurs , cementing their dislike for one another . after the dinner , lady graves delivers ominous warnings to newgate , and quietly insists that he flee the asylum , but newgate refuses to leave without her .\nthe story abruptly shifts to an asylum shrouded in fog . edward newgate ( jim sturgess ) is the jonathan harker of this story , the man coming to the dangerously - lit castle in the middle of the night . echoes of \u201cbram stoker\u2019s dracula\u201d and \u201cshutter island\u201d hang heavy in the air , again promising a film with something to say and personality to spare ; setting a table on to which too slight a meal is placed .\npremiere . a new apprentice at a lunatic asylum is intrigued by the unusual methods of the doctor in charge . he realises too late that the doctor is actually a patient who has taken over with the intent of establishing his own form of society -

crossed mental patients to want to flee from an asylum just to enter into another .\nbeckinsale is a familiar face to horror fans , having played the lead in three underworld films and the escape - the - room thriller vacancy . brad anderson seems like an excellent choice for director , having launched his career with the insidiously creepy session 9 , which was also set in an old insane asylum and also explored the subject of insanity . oren peli , creator of paranormal activity , is onboard as a producer , along with bruce davey and mel gibson .\njim sturgess ( across the universe ) takes the lead as edward newgate , a med school grad who accepts an unenviable new position at the titular mental institution in mid - 19 th century france ( you know , when treatment of the mentally ill wasn\u2019t exactly an evolved practice ) . he finds romance with a patient , eliza ( played by kate beckinsale and likely named after poe\u2019s mother ) , but all sorts of less delightful surprises , too , in the asylum\u2019s dark underbelly .\nthe blu - ray presentation of stonehearst asylum features a very strong transfer , but has been aggressively graded digitally to appear very drab and dim . as far as image detail is concerned , it\u2019s quite abundant ; both foreground and background elements are very sharp and precise . colors are very muted , but aesthetically so , and as a consequence , skin tones never appear completely natural . black levels are very satisfying and deep , and contrast levels are quite satisfactory . there is a touch of edge enhancement present , but not an overburdening amount of it . as for the soundtrack options , you get an english 5 . 1 dolby truehd track and an english 2 . 0 dolby digital track . the lossless 5 . 1 track is quite immersive . dialogue is always the main focus , clean and clear , while the sound effects and score have some great speaker to speaker activity . ambient noises fill the surround speakers , as does the film\u2019s score , all with the aid of some excellent lfe . it\u2019s a strong visual and aural presentation , overall . there are also subtitles in english sdh and spanish for those who might need them .\nnewgate ' s attempt to drug the patients and gain control of the asylum is thwarted and lamb prepares newgate for electric shock therapy to turn him into a mental patient to live among them . it is revealed that newgate had come to the asylum specifically to rescue lady graves , whom he had seen at the oxford medical demonstration and become fixated with . before the treatment , lamb grants newgate a final request : to see a picture of lady graves that he keeps in his pocket . the true object in his pocket , a picture of one of the young soldiers lamb shot ( which newgate discovered in the padded cell salt kept lamb in ) , causes lamb to stagger out of the room in a fugue . finn goes to pick up the electric prods to finish the job , but newgate is rescued by lady graves who overcomes her hysterical fits to kill finn via electrocution . a fire starts and spreads as lady graves rescues the staff from their cells and leads the patients out of the building .\nas lamb shows newgate around the grounds , it becomes clear that something is very , very wrong . despite all indications that the young man should flee , his new infatuation with eliza forces him to stay . he\u2019s going to save her ; get her free of this torture palace . the male doctor as white knight for the infirm female\u2014again , this seems like material ripe for interesting commentary but writer joe gangemi wastes every opportunity to do so . \u201cstonehearst aslyum\u201d becomes something of a tease : every time you think it\u2019s going to develop into something interesting , it pulls away from you . for a film about insanity and abuse of power , it\u2019s surprisingly tame .\nhowever , this makes perfect sense if you just keep in mind the protagonist merely re - arranged the roles . he thought the\nguard\nmore fitting of a mongoloid due to his large stature and minimal words , he re - cast two older looking gentlemen ( who are literally just playing chess against each other , as opposed to the figurative chess game suggested during the movie ) as the opposing leaders of the asylum , and the horse - guy . . . well he made him remain a horse - guy .\nthe beginning of the score , for about 10 cues , sets the mood and gets us to know the asylum and the characters there . i could very well skip most of those cues , because i understood what\u2019s going on from the second one . the atmosphere is creepy , dark , but the music is pretty generic . the usual stringy gothic music you\u2019d expect to find on a score like this . \u201celiza\u2019s theme\u201d is the only thing i remember from this part , a beautiful piano theme that john debney really put his heart into .\njim sturgess ( heartless ) plays edward newgate , a recently graduated doctor who takes an assistant position at a secluded nuthouse , nestled in the foggy bosom of the english countryside . the superintendent of the asylum is silas lamb ( ben kingsley at his most stately ) , who lords over the patients with a seemingly gentle touch \u2013 allowing them to roam freely about the grounds , even dining with them . the patients themselves are a special lot . most of them come from well - to - do families and have been committed for \u201cmaladies\u201d like homosexuality and epilepsy .\nthat ' s not really a spoiler \u2014 the twist happens well before the film ' s midpoint , and the main thread here seems to be newgate ' s efforts to foil lamb ' s plans and survive in the process . therein , however , lies the problem : gangemi ' s screenplay struggles to maintain its momentum past the key revelation , and the mind boggles at newgate ' s bizarre actions ( especially given his awareness that lunatics have taken over the asylum ) and the seemingly powerful lamb ' s failure to catch on that newgate has discovered his secret .\nit ' s the acting department that sells this thriller set inside a mental institution as a young doctor slowly uncovers something amiss at the old isolated lunatic asylum for the rich and famous out in the middle of nowhere . ( if you ' re gonna be anywhere with a lunatic , is there any place better than the middle of nowhere ? and you can ' t answer if your married . ) michael caine and ben kingsley ground the piece with their usual aplomb , framing the action in believability and setting up the matinee idols of sturgess and beckinsale for romantic fumblings in a padded cell . . .\nthe real superintendent , dr . benjamin salt ( michael caine ) , explains that lamb and finn drugged their drinks and led a revolt . dr . salt and mrs . pike ( sin\u00e9ad cusack ) , the matron , warn newgate that lamb is a dangerous madman \u2013 a surgeon who murdered his patients during wartime . isolated and with limited options of regaining control over the asylum even should they be freed , the staff must remain in their cells to await outside assistance . they request that dr . newgate locate the keys in finn ' s possession to release them , or else escape to london and seek help ."]}

other times he is roused by the plunging of the cow , or knocked over by a calf which has broken through a defective panel in the pen . in the latter case the youth gets tackle on to the calf , detaches its head from the teat with the heel of his boot , and makes it fast somewhere . sometimes the cow breaks or loosens the leg - rope and gets her leg into the bucket and then the youth clings desperately to the pail and hopes she\u2019ll get her hoof out again without spilling the milk . sometimes she does , more often she doesn\u2019t \u2014 it depends on the strength of the boy and the pail and on the strategy of the former . anyway , the boy will lam the cow down with a jagged yard shovel , let her out , and bail up another .\nthe selector\u2019s wife removes the newspapers , and reveals a thick , yellow layer of rich cream , plentifully peppered with dust that has drifted in somehow . she runs a forefinger round the edges of the cream to detach it from the tin , wipes her finger in her mouth , and skims . if the milk and cream are very thick she rolls the cream over like a pancake with her fingers , and lifts it out in sections . the thick milk is poured into a slop - bucket , for the pigs and calves , the dishes are \u201ccleaned\u201d\u2014 by the aid of a dipper full of warm water and a rag \u2014 and the wife proceeds to set the morning\u2019s milk . tom holds up the doubtful - looking rag that serves as a strainer while his mother pours in the milk . sometimes the boy\u2019s hands get tired and he lets some of the milk run over , and gets into trouble ; but it doesn\u2019t matter much , for the straining - cloth has several sizable holes in the middle .\nthey stayed on for several days . after breakfast and when the men were going to work steelman and smith would go out along the line with the black bag and poke round amongst the \u201clayers and stratas\u201d in sight of the works for a while , as an evidence of good faith ; then they\u2019d drift off casually into the bush , camp in a retired and sheltered spot , and light a fire when the weather was cold , and steelman would lie on the grass and read and smoke and lay plans for the future and improve smith\u2019s mind until they reckoned it was about dinner - time . and in the evening they would come home with the black bag full of stones and bits of rock , and steelman would lecture on those minerals after tea .\npresently the form of the child appeared , motionless and covered with clay and water . mason was climbing up by the steps in the side of the shaft .\nthey can be given a transcript of the story and follow how the punctuation guides the reading .\n\u201cyes , \u201d the phrenologist continued , while malachi sat horror - stricken ;

he lit his pipe for a final puff before going to sleep , and held the light up for a moment so as to give smith the full benefit of a solemn , uncompromising wink . the wink was silently applauded and dutifully returned by smith . then steelman blew out the light , lay back , and puffed at his pipe for a while . presently he chuckled , and the chuckle was echoed by smith ; by and by steelman chuckled once more , and then smith chuckled again . there was silence in the darkness , and after a bit smith chuckled twice . then steelman said :\n\u201cyes ! travel ! take the track ! go on the wallaby ! the cockies over there used to hang the meat up on the branches of the trees , and just shake it whenever they wanted to feed the fowls . and the water was so bad that half a pound of tea in the billy wouldn\u2019t make no impression on the colour \u2014 nor the taste . the further west we went the worse our meat got , till at last we had to carry a dog - chain to chain it up at night . then it got worse and broke the chain , and then we had to train the blessed dogs to shepherd it and bring it back . but we fell in with another chap with a bad old dog \u2014 a downright knowing , thieving , old hard - case of a dog ; and this dog led our dogs astray \u2014\u2014 demoralized them \u2014 corrupted their morals \u2014 and so one morning they came home with the blooming meat inside them , instead of outside \u2014 and we had to go hungry for breakfast . \u201d"]}

income producing films have become profitable ( after initial box - office failures ) with strong international grosses , and further profits from the sales of movies to tv syndication and to home video / dvd releases ( or re - releases ) . a prominent example of a film which did very poorly in the us , ( i . e . , the golden compass ( 2007 ) ) with only $ 70 million ( domestic revenue ) , easily recouped its production budget costs of $ 180 million with $ 302 million ( foreign revenue ) -

term stability in biological environments play a decisive role for the biocompatibility of titanium implants . in this study , the passive oxide film formed on titanium and its natural growth in a phosphate buffered solution with and without an h 2 o 2 addition have been investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy ( eis ) measurements over a period of several weeks . in the absence of h 2 o 2 , the impedance response indicated a stable thin oxide film on titanium . however , the introduction of h 2 o 2 into the solution resulted in significant changes in the eis - spectra , which varied with exposure time . the interpretation of results is based upon a two - layer model of the oxide film , consisting of a thin barrier - type inner layer and a porous outer layer . the h 2 o 2 addition in the solution led to a significant decrease in corrosion resistance of titanium and also to a thickening of the porous outer layer . the observations may provide an explanation of the unexpected in vivo titanium oxide growth and ion incorporation into titanium implant oxide surfaces .\n2 . \u201c to milestone film & video for its exemplary theatrical and / or dvd presentations of michael powell\u2019s the edge of the world , rupert julian\u2019s the phantom of the opera , e . a dupont\u2019s piccadilly , andr\u00e9 antoine\u2019s la terre , and mad love , the films of evgeni bauer . \u201d\nindian film is growing in north america , thanks to a thriving indian economy , an increasing and affluent south asian diaspora , and growing popularity among afghans , arabs , russians and caribbean immigrants . but if there were few non -

office - the major causes are lack of studio promotion , heavy competition from other movies released at the same time , exorbitant production costs difficult to recoup and other production problems , negative word of mouth ( especially in the era of the internet and social media ) or critical reviews , and other external factors such as bad timing or economic problems in society at large .\nfilms have the potential to skyrocket the profits of a studio , or to send it into ruins and bankruptcy . films that cost more to make than they acquire in revenue ( both domestic and worldwide ) are considered box - office catastrophes or bombs . studios split grosses with theater owners , so even if a movie makes as much as its production budget , it ' s still losing , and that ' s before even considering marketing costs . a film often must make almost double its budget to become profitable . most big box -

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

resistance between mr . b and pamela . example : mr . b hides in pamela ' s bedroom closet at night and unsuccessfully attempts to assault her . the pattern continues until mr . b figures out that pamela is set on returning to her parents , and he has her taken away to his estate in lincolnshire .\nin a conclusion , the \u201ceditor\u201d of pamela\u2019s letters reveals that pamela\u2019s later life continues to be a happy one : she receives semiannual visits from her parents and bears several children . she remains popular among the local gentry and nobility , and even lady davers continues on good terms with the squire and his wife . pamela succeeds in establishing the moral character of miss goodwin , who does not repeat her mother\u2019s mistakes .\nmeanwhile , squire b . \u2019s sister , lady davers , strongly opposes a union of her brother and pamela on grounds that the latter is a mere servant . but the squire ignores her . all is thus going well\u2013so well , in fact , that mrs . jewkes has a change of heart and renounces her past cruelties to pamela . sometime later , pamela and the squire marry in a private ceremony in a chapel at the lincolnshire estate . mr . williams presides , mr . peters gives pamela away , and mrs . jewkes witnesses the ceremony .\nthe attempt comes , sooner rather than later , and pamela resists it vigorously . disconcerted but only temporarily deterred , mr . b . tries to bribe pamela to keep quiet about the incident ; she relates it , however , to her parents and to the motherly housekeeper , mrs . jervis . mr . b . begins to make noise about pamela\u2019s gossiping about him in her letters home , prompting pamela to suspect him of stealing her mail . further offenses ensue , including an incident in which mr . b . , hiding in a closet , spies on pamela as she undresses at night and then rushes out to have his way with her . pamela , however , displays a marked tendency to fall into a swoon whenever her master approaches her with lewd intentions , and this peculiarity has the convenient effect of diminishing the squire\u2019s libido .\nsince this poem is not concerned with any content of the novel , but rather with connected background information , this poem shows that there was a public interest in pamela and everything that was connected to pamela . the public wanted to know everything about this book and its background .\nrichardson , samuel ( 1740 ) . pamela ; or , virtue rewarded ( 1st ed . ) . london : messrs rivington & osborn .\npamela meets mr . williams and they agree to communicate by putting letters under a sunflower in the garden . mrs . jewkes beats her after pamela calls her a\njezebel .\nmr . williams asks the village gentry for help ; though they pity pamela , none will help her because of mr . b ' s social position . sir simon even argues that no one will hurt her , and no family name will be turnished since pamela belongs to the poor andrews family . mr . williams proposes marriage to her to escape mr . b ' s wickedness .\nthe novel is of course a love story , and pamela is the fulcrum on which the story turns . one day , the story centers on familial love , which pamela exchanges with her parents ; the next day , on false love , or lust , which the squire attempts to inflict on pamela ; another day , on brotherly love , which pamela exchanges with mrs . jervis and other coworkers ; and on another day , true romantic love , which pamela exchanges with the squire . love conquers the cruel heart of mrs . jewkes and the proud heart of lady davers . it softens the heart of a fearsome giant , monsieur colbrand . it causes the squire to free the rev . arthur williams from jail . it enables the squire to renounce his past wrongs . and , finally , it enables pamela to embrace the squire ' s illegitimate daughter .\nhowever , the squire delays relocating pamela . in the meantime , he gives her his deceased mother\u2019s fine silk clothes , as well as shifts , handkerchiefs , and aprons . pamela sends the clothes to her mother . a short while later , pamela tells her in another letter that the squire has given her more garments and exquisite shoes . after mrs . andrews writes back to remind her daughter to keep on her guard , pamela replies that the squire has decided to keep her at bedfordshire , for he fears that the nephew of lady davers might make advances toward her .\nwhen pamela returns to the lincolnshire house , she and mr . b get married . yay ! throw the bouquet in our direction , pam !\nthe question and answer section for pamela : or virtue rewarded is a great resource to ask questions , find answers , and discuss the novel .\nwe ' ve known it for a while , but then we ' re spoiled by over 200 years of reading and watching plots based on pamela .\nlater , in front of pamela and mrs . jervis , the squire attempts to downplay the incident , claiming that pamela exaggerated the details . when he asks mrs . jervis for her opinion , she sympathizes with pamela but is afraid to accuse her master of wrongdoing . at this point , pamela has made up her mind to leave bedfordshire and return home . however , she decides to remain at bedfordshire to complete a waistcoat she has been fashioning for the squire . mrs . jervis assures her it will be safe to stay awhile . besides , pamela has worked hard on the coat and observes in a letter to her parents ,\ni never did a prettier piece of work ; and i am up early and late to get it over ; for i\nunfortunately for pamela . mr . b takes a shine to her . he harasses and attempts to rape her , but pamela manages to escape ( though not without severe psychological trauma ) . this phase of the book is chock full of arguments and attempted violence , which means lots of conflict / complication .\nit is fielding\u2019s shamela that is without doubt the most important counter fiction of the original . shamela is also the first response published after richardson\u2019s novel . other examples of importance are eliza haywood\u00b4s anti - pamela and memoirs of the life of lady h - . these two examples are of importance because on the one hand they show that authors tried to capitalize from the hype of pamela . on the other hand , shortly after the publication , there was a hype about the topics in pamela , as a result the public asked for other books concerned with pamela . the demand in society grew as the topic was omnipresent .\neventually mr . b . takes pamela to meet miss goodwin , a little girl at a local boarding school , who pamela rightly concludes is his daughter by sally godfrey . pamela is delighted with the child and requests , though in vain , to take her in as part of the bedfordshire household . mr . b . fills out the story of sally godfrey , detailing the circumstances of their affair and her eventual flight to jamaica , where she is now happily married .\npamela is fifteen - years - old . she is described as a pretty girl , who is also outgoing , sweet , and devoted to her parents . when we first meet pamela , she is working as a servant in mr . b ' s home and regularly fighting off his inappropriate advances . . . .\nbut before she can enjoy being rich and married , pamela has to contend with her mean - girl sister - in - law , lady davers . while lady davers is disturbed to hear that her brother has been brutalizing his servant , she ' s even more upset to think that he might have married her . after extended confrontations between pamela and lady davers and then lady davers and mr . b , everyone makes up , and lady davers accepts pamela as her sister .\nin protecting herself from the clutches of her male employer , pamela is at a considerable disadvantage . the european culture of the 1700s gave every advantage to males , especially upper - class males . pamela , of course , is a lower - class female servant . a pretty servant girl was easy prey for a wealthy master who took a fancy to her , for he could use his money and power to entice her or sexually harass her . after the squire begins treating pamela as a young woman instead of a sexual object , he declares his love for her . however , his sister , lady davers , strongly opposes his relationship with pamela on grounds that she is a mere servant from a lower - class family . only after a long and painful struggle does she come to accept pamela .\nthe climax occurs when the squire declares his love for pamela in the letter he sends her after she leaves his lincolnshire estate . a minor , or secondary , climax occurs when the squire ' s sister , lady davers , overcomes her upper - class pride and prejudice and accepts pamela as her sister - in - law .\npamela and mr . b return to bedfordshire , where pamela wins over all the local gentry , dispenses some of her new - found wealth to the poor , and sets a good example for mr . b ' s illegitimate daughter . see , ladies ? just find yourself a nice abuser and you , too , can live the dream .\npamela : or virtue rewarded study guide contains a biography of samuel richardson , literature essays , quiz questions , major themes , characters , and a full summary and analysis .\nthe author of memoirs of the life of lady h - claims that richardson\u2019s pamela is lady hesilrige . lady hesilriges suitor is arthur hesilrige , seventh baronet of northamton . there were a lot of dates , such as the wedding date and the dates when they lived , in common with the dates richardson gave in pamela . since there are many other examples of women which shared parallels to the life of richardson\u2019s pamela during that time , it cannot be said for sure that arthur hesilrige and lady hesilrige are the basis for richardson\u2019s pamela . 38 also the fact that richardson himself never admitted that these two characters are his role models to his novel , indicates that there is no parallel . the fact that there are authors writing books about speculations , whether richardson\u2019s novel was based on real events , emphasises the fact that it was of high importance to the people and that there was an urge for the public to gain as much information about pamela as they could . it also indicates that writers wanted to capitalise from the public interest on pamela .\nsamuel richardson ' s pamela : or virtue rewarded gives us one of the eighteenth century ' s most famous love stories , though the novel may not sound very romantic to modern readers . in it , a rich gentleman named mr . b relentlessly pursues the virginity of a beautiful and chaste serving girl named pamela . an unscrupulous rake , mr . b , wishes for nothing more than to have his way with the young girl . he repeatedly tries to rape and assault her . unfortunately for mr . b , pamela is a paragon of virtue , and she always manages to escape his attacks . eventually , pamela ' s innate goodness reforms mr . b , and he gives up his pursuit , instead offering her his hand in marriage . in a surprising twist , pamela eventually accepts mr . b ' s proposal and becomes the wife of her would - be rapist .\non their second sunday in bedfordshire , pamela and mr . b . attend church twice , with pamela appearing in a spectacular white - and - gold dress . all the neighbors are appropriately stunned , and the local poor gather to receive alms from the new lady bountiful . a few days later , pamela and mr . b . walk together in the garden , are caught in a shower , and shelter in the summerhouse . there he explains the provisions he has recently made for her in his will . near the end of the week , the newlyweds host another dinner for the neighbors ; it is an occasion for pamela to reflect piously on the goodness of providence and to plan for future good works .\npamela : or , virtue rewarded by samuel richardson , edited by thomas keymer and alice wakely oxford , 592 pp , \u00a36 . 99 , june 2001 , isbn 0 19 282960 2\non 9 january 2007 , bbc radio 4 broadcast the long view which contrasted pamela ' s effect on 18th - century society with that of video games on 20th - century society .\nat lincolnshire , pamela is a virtual prisoner under the watchful eye of the housekeeper , mrs . jewkes . not long after pamela\u2019s arrival , she meets the rev . williams . he has an apartment at the lincolnshire estate but resides most of the time in a village three miles away , where he operates a latin school and sometimes preaches for the village minister at sunday services . he is sensible and sober , and he sympathizes with the deeply distressed pamela . however , there is little he can do to liberate her , for he depends on the squire for his livelihood . when he talks with mrs . jewkes about pamela\u2019s plight , she rebuffs him . she has the authority to ban him entirely from the lincolnshire estate if she so desires .\nthe second volume of the book is a change of pace from the sexual assaults in the first volume . mr . b gets past his issues with pamela ' s social standing and proposes ; however , having been warned by a fortune teller about a possible fake marriage , pamela does not initially accept . at this point , she is finally allowed to return to her parents .\nthere were a lot of written reactions towards pamela in a rich variety of form . many books appeared during a period of about ten years after the publication of the original book . most books expressed a kind of criticism towards richardson\u2019s pamela . to give a brief overview of the dimension of responses that were written , here is an overview of the first ten years after richardson\u2019s publication :\nthere are many more alterations in the three paragraphs of this one letter , almost all small ones calculated to rescue pamela from stylistic inelegance . between the oxford and penguin texts as a whole , there are thousands of differences . yet richardson\u2019s gradual \u2018improvement\u2019 of pamela\u2019s blunt diction and unsophisticated sentence construction almost everywhere gives the impression of a retreat . the author\u2019s last thoughts were invariably his worst . yet , as isn\u2019t the case with wordsworth\u2019s prelude , for example , readers have not been able to see this for themselves and make their own judgments . many of those who have read pamela in 20th - century editions will have wondered why the novel was ever spoken of as daring or innovative . even pamela\u2019s prose style seems prim , as well as implausibly polished for someone of her occupation .\nthe popular tv series ( 26 episodes ) elisa di rivombrosa is loosely based on pamela . the story takes place in the second half of the 18th century in turin ( italy ) . the role of pamela is that of elisa scalzi ( played by vittoria puccini ) in the series . the role of mr . b is that of count fabrizio ristori ( played by alessandro preziosi ) .\nepistolary novels - - novels written as series of letters\u2014were extremely popular during the 18th century , mainly because of richardson ' s pamela . richardson and other novelists of his time argued that the letter allowed the reader greater access to a character ' s thoughts . richardson claimed that he was writing\nto the moment\n: that is , pamela ' s thoughts were recorded nearly simultaneously with her actions .\nmr . b . leaves the lincolnshire estate for a few days , during which interval pamela receives from a gypsy fortune - teller a note warning her of mr . b . \u2019s plans for entrapping her in a sham - marriage . this note causes pamela to react strongly against mr . b . and against her own softening feelings for him . when he returns from his trip he receives from mrs . jewkes a set of pamela\u2019s recent writings ; inferring that her \u201cscribbling\u201d has proceeded unabated in lincolnshire , he demands to see the rest of her literary output , which pamela reluctantly hands over . his reading of these papers only increases his admiration of her character and virtue . he tells her how deeply the writings have moved him and expresses his regret over his rough usage of her , promising to make amends . when pamela , still fearing the sham - marriage , nevertheless repeats her request to return to her parents , mr . b . is hurt and finally , in anger , allows her to leave .\nmr . b . , suspecting mr . williams of colluding with pamela , sends him to prison for debt . pamela concludes that she has run out of options and makes a desperate escape attempt in the middle of the night . the attempt fails when a crumbling wall causes injury to her head and legs . despairing , pamela considers drowning herself in the garden pond , but a sudden renewal of her commitment to life and virtue , which she credits to a divine intervention , saves her . in the morning , the other servants find her lying wounded in an outhouse , and her captivity continues as before .\nthis book was published anonymously on december the 4 th in 1741 . it dealt with the question whether richardson\u2019s pamela had lived in real life . it is likely that the author wanted to profit from the hype of richardson\u2019s novel and therefore the author raised another point of discussion in his book which appeared of interest to many readers . 36 the question whether the character of pamela had existed in real life or not . in the first edition of pamela , richardson himself gave information in the preface that this story had happened in a thirty year period of time before publication . later , in the first publication of the continuation of pamela , richardson states that the story is based on real people and events . richardson only claims that characters\u2019 names and places have been changed , due to avoiding offending the real people . 37\npamela ; or , virtue rewarded is an epistolary novel centering on the relationship between a beautiful servant girl and her aristocratic master . an epistolary novel is one in which a character ( or characters ) tells the story through letters ( epistles ) sent to a friend , relative , etc . , and / or through journal entries . samuel richardson began writing pamela in 1739 and completed and published it in 1740 .\nthe final thing you should know is that pamela : or virtue rewarded reflects anxieties about society in eighteenth - century england , namely the country ' s changing class structure . just think about it : pamela starts off as a regular nobody , and she ends up living in a fancy house with a rich husband . this may not seem like a big deal to us , but the story was quite shocking for many eighteenth - century readers who weren ' t used to social mobility . the novel argues that regardless of her rank , pamela has innate value ; this message appealed to growing numbers of middle class readers .\nafter the wedding , pamela ' s final obstacle is mr . b ' s snooty sister , lady davers . lady davers is skeptical of the marriage because she does not wish to accept a servant into her prestigious family line . witnessing pamela ' s dignified behavior , however , lady davers eventually comes around , but not before letting slip that mr . b has seduced many women , including a woman named sally godfrey .\nin pamela , the letters are almost exclusively written by the heroine , restricting the reader ' s access to the other characters ; we see only pamela ' s perception of them . in richardson ' s other novels , clarissa ( 1748 ) and the history of sir charles grandison ( 1753 ) , the reader is privy to the letters of several characters and can more effectively evaluate the characters ' motivations and moral values .\nfifteen - year - old pamela andrews , the protagonist , tells the story in first - person point of view in ( 1 ) letters she writes to her parents and other characters and ( 2 ) in a journal in which she reports daily happenings as well as the contents of letters written to her . an omniscient narrator intrudes briefly to inform the reader of events outside the scope of pamela\u2019s purview . the author presents the chapters in the form of letters or journal entries . the rising action and development of the conflict take place at squire b . ' s bedfordshire estate . the conflict intensifies after pamela is taken against her will to the squire ' s lincolnshire estate . the conflict reaches its climax when pamela is at an inn between lincolnshire and bedfordshire and receives a letter in which the squire declares his love for her . the long denouement of the story takes place mainly at the lincolnshire estate after pamela returns to the squire . the story concludes when the newlyweds return to the bedfordshire estate . after the conclusion , the author presents observations intended to instruct the reader .\na publication , memoirs of lady h _ _ , the celebrated pamela ( 1741 ) , claims that the inspiration for richardson ' s pamela is the true life marriage of a coachman ' s daughter , hannah sturges , to the baronet , sir arthur hesilridge , in 1725 . samuel richardson claims that the story was based on a true incident related to him by a friend about 25 years before , but did not identify the principals .\nmrs . jewkes follows pamela everywhere , even when she goes for walks on the grounds alone or with williams . however , pamela and the minister communicate in secret via messages left between rocks in the flower garden . they devise an escape plan that requires the help of others . in agreeing to assist pamela , williams is taking a considerable risk , for he appears to be in line for a ministerial promotion\u2013with a generous salary paid by the squire . when he asks local citizens\u2013lady jones , sir simon darnford , and lady darnford\u2013whether they might lodge pamela for a time if she escapes from the squire ' s estate , they refuse to take part . when he asks another minister , mr . peters , the same question , peters tells williams ,\nwhat ! and embroil myself with a man of mr . b . ' s power and fortune ! no , not i , i ' ll assure you ! \u2013\nthe second thing you should know is that pamela : or virtue rewarded was written in the style of a conduct manual . richardson was heavily influenced by nonfiction texts written to improve a person ' s moral character . the result ? richardson ' s novel , especially the second volume , is didactic ; the book attempts to teach its readers . pamela is offered to readers as an example of virtue because she is chaste and obedient to her family and god .\nbesides the consumer culture , which grew up around pamela , there was the development of advertisement . due to new printing methods a much larger number of pamphlets and posters could be given to the consumers , shops and published on advertising pillars . newspapers were produced and sold in much larger numbers , as well . of course , these new ways of attracting consumers were also used not only for the advertisement of the new editions of pamela , but also for merchandise products .\nseveral encomiums on a series of familiar letters , publish\u2019d but last month , entitled pamela or virtue rewarded , came too for this magazine , and we believe there will be little occasion for inserting them in our next ; because a second edition will then come out to supply the demands in the country , it being judged in town as great a sign of want of curiosity not to have read pamela , as not to have seen the french and italian dancers . 30\npamela departs the lincolnshire estate , though not in so happy a mood as she had expected . during a stopover at a country inn , she receives another letter from mr . b . in which he avows that further reading in her papers prompts him to request her return to lincolnshire . pamela , having reconsidering , decides to trust him and complies . upon her return , they discuss the likely social fallout from a marriage between a squire and a serving - maid ; undeterred , they enter on their engagement . pamela then tells mr . b . the story of the gypsy fortune - teller , and he admits to having considered perpetrating a sham - marriage but says that he thought the better of it .\none day the squire proposes to give pamela\u2019s parents fifty guineas a year if she pledges to marry the rev . arthur williams , the squire\u2019s chaplain at lincolnshire . ( the proposal is , of course , a ploy to keep her within reach . ) when pamela refuses the offer , he decrees that she may return home the next morning and will order a carriage to await her . as she prepares to leave , mrs . jervis gives her five guineas from the master .\npamela tries to escape on her own by scaling the wall on the estate , but she falls and suffers injuries to her shins and an ankle . maids have to carry her back to the house , where she is bedridden while recuperating .\nmr . b . , who has intercepted and read all of the correspondence between pamela and her parents , writes to mr . and mrs . andrews with a consoling but phony explanation for her failing to appear in their village as planned . mr . andrews sees through the ruse and approaches the bedfordshire estate , bewailing the disappearance of his daughter , but to no avail . meanwhile , pamela has arrived in lincolnshire , where the crude and malignant housekeeper mrs . jewkes watches her every move .\nwhen a group of thieves attacks mr . williams on the road and searches his pockets for papers , pamela becomes concerned that mr . b . sent them to steal her letters , which the clergyman was carrying . the incident prompts her to make her first escape attempt , but her own nerves prevent her even from making it across the garden . soon a further impediment appears in the person of monsieur colbrand , a hideous swiss man whom mr . b . has sent to guard pamela .\neven after this period of approximately ten years there were more pieces of works published concerned with the original novel , but the first written novels reflect the fact that there was a huge response and a massive demand in public of everything concerning pamela .\npamela andrews is a pious , innocent 15 - year - old who works as lady b ' s maidservant in bedfordshire . the novel starts after lady b has died , when her son , the squire mr . b , begins to pay pamela more attention , first giving her his mother ' s clothes , then trying to seduce her in the summer house . when he wants to pay her to keep the attempt secret , she refuses and tells mrs . jervis , the housekeeper , her best friend at the house . undaunted , he hides in her closet and pops out and tries to kiss her as she undresses for bed . pamela debates returning to her impoverished parents to preserve her innocence , but still can ' t decide .\nthat same evening , mr . b . goes to attend a dying acquaintance . by the next morning , he has not returned , so pamela is alone when his sister , lady davers , arrives to browbeat the squire and his beloved , whom she does not know to be married . lady davers badgers and insults pamela at some length , detaining her against her will with the help of a nephew and a waiting - maid . finally , pamela escapes through a window and , with the help of her new allies mrs . jewkes and monsieur colbrand , makes it to the home of sir simon darnford , where mr . b . and the neighbors are expecting her . there she regales the company with the tale of her experience with lady davers .\nthe first poem published was written by aaron hill and appeared first in the second edition of pamela on the 14 th february in 1741 . afterwards , this poem was also published in the newspaper weekly miscellany on the 28 th of february in 1740 .\nthis poem shows in all clarity that firstly there are two extremes , the pamelists and the anti - pamelists , arguing with each other in public . secondly it shows that the topics raised in pamela are controversial in society and therefore of public interest .\nthe reactions to the novel included a certain desire for seeing the face of pamela and other characters of the book . the readers could not wait to see her face and so paintings and engravings turned into yet another part of the overall multi - media event which went with the publication of the adaptations and the following editions of the original book . pamela was painted in different stations of her life and many motives were repeated or modified by different artists . there appeared to be a competition between them .\nnewspapers as a medium clearly played a role of extraordinary importance for this multi - media event . by using the widely spread press , pamela , or virtue rewarded was kept in the focus of interest and controversial discussion for a long period of time .\nalso , we have seen the merchandising strategies that included different sorts of editions , merchandise products and advertisements . here it is worth mentioning that the demand for such articles clearly shows the desire of the public to identify oneself with pamela and her morality .\nin between the publications of the fifth and sixth edition there were two more events of importance . on october 23 rd 1741 an authorized french translation with a total of 1500 copies appeared . these translations were used nationwide as course books at school . 17 another interesting point concerning the different editions is the publication of the octavo edition on may eighth 1742 . an updated edition of pamela was for the first time simultaneously published with an edition of the continuation of pamela and 29 engravings by gravelot and hayman were attached . 18\nso , there is still a fair amount of conflict going on here , but this section of the book is really about pamela settling down into married life and dealing with the fallout of her class elevation\u2014and that ' s falling action if we ever saw it ."]}

in - law , anca florescu abraham and brother , alan abraham .\njohn abraham doesn\u2019t wear his heart on his sleeve as far as his parents are concerned , but it is clear to all that he enjoys a deep connect with his family . john abraham comes from multi - religious family . his father , abraham john is a keralite who belongs to the syrian christian faith . he is an architect and along with his elder son , owns the aj ( abraham john architect ) firm . it was his father , who gave john his biblical name and abraham as his surname according to the nasrani or saint thomas christian naming system . john\u2019s father is very much a presence in john\u2019s life . in an interview show , he had commented on john\u2019s romantic relationship with then girlfriend , bipasha basu saying that he liked her and that john should settle down with any girl he liked . when john married priya runchal , it was again he who came out with a statement saying that he was very happy to welcome the new addition to the family . he has revealed that priya would always drop in at their place whenever she was in town and has gone on to call her an intelligent girl who is a good match for john .\njohn abraham\u2019s mother is firoze irani who is a zoroastrian parsi and a homemaker . john even has the parsi name of farhan , which was given to him by her side of the family . since his paternal relatives were mostly abroad , it was his mother\u2019s side of the family who probably influenced him more . though he has grown up eating parsi food and loves it , he finds his mother\u2019s cooking of the keralite \u2018avial\u2019 dish to be the best he has ever tasted ! john finds his mother\u2019s cooking worth dying for and finds any chance he gets to go over to his parents\u2019 house to eat his mother\u2019s cooking ! he has commented in an interview that he has not been the greatest of sons to his mother and they often tend to fight and argue , but he goes on to call her the best mother one can have . john appreciates his mother for her charitable work with old age homes , children as well as animals and credits his mother for making him aware as well as care for the less privileged . john abraham has spoken about his mother\u2019s love for films , especially the older black and white films and her being a big shammi kapoor fan and lover of old film songs . his mother is uncomfortable in front of the media and likes to keep a low profile as far as the media is concerned . in a rare interview , she had commented that she would like a homely , understanding and caring girl for her son , during the period john was in a relationship with bipasha .\njohn abraham\u2019s elder brother is alan abraham who is an architect and photographer and is part of his father\u2019s aj architecture firm . he has received laurels for the work he has done on his brother\u2019s apartment and his warm personality has permeated into his work . he is also currently doing up actor hrithik roshan\u2019s apartment . john revealed in an interview that when alan was studying in france , he was approached for a french film , which he went on to turn down . john\u2019s father and brother recently won an award for designing john\u2019s office and john went on to proclaim his pride in his brother on twitter .\nalan abraham is married to romanian anca florescu who is an interior designer working alongside her husband and father -

five cents . he chases the girl he ' s infatuated with , and encounters colorful characters along the way .\nthis act of comedy through reversal of roles is also evident in the work of charlie chaplin . in the immigrant , chaplin\u2019s tramp character is a foreigner moving to america . his outfit illustrates his destitution : his clothes do not fit him correctly , which indicates that they are old or that he just found them somewhere and started wearing them . americans in the movie think very little of him\u2014the authorities on the boat are quick to assume that he stole someone\u2019s money , and the waiter in america constantly shoots him dirty , distrusting looks . yet in the end , the tables are turned , and his role of being a poor , unfortunate man is reversed . chaplin uses an american\u2019s tip to pay for his and his girlfriend\u2019s food . the waiter then becomes fuming mad at the american for unintentionally not leaving any tip , which puts the tramp in the position of advantage because he at least left a small gratuity . he also cures his condition of loneliness by finding a woman from his boat to america and marrying her .\nthe 30s saw roach extending the length of his laurel & hardy pieces to feature length since shorts were becoming less profitable . roach\u2019s wikipedia entry notes that roach\u2019s focus constantly shifted ; by 1940 , even laurel & hardy were cast aside in favor of \u201csophisticated farces\u201d and \u201crugged action fare . \u201d by 1955 , roach had retired from active producing . a testament to the ephemeral nature of hollywood fame , his 14 . 5 acre studio , nicknamed the \u201clot of fun , \u201d was torn down in 1963 to make space for industry .\nwhile at an amusement park , two men try to win the heart of a young lady . they compete with each other while attempting to find her runaway dog , and they race to ask her mother ' s permission to take her up in a hot air balloon .\ncast : harold lloyd [ the boy ] , bebe daniels [ the girl ] , snub pollard [ the valet ] , fred c . newmeyer [ ah nix , the chinese cook ] , helen gilmore [ the girl\u2019s mother ] , noah young [ a big pirate ] , sammy brooks [ a small pirate ] , charles e . stevenson [ the servant ] , marie mosquini\nwith simultaneously hilarious and nerve - wracking hazardous stunts were lloyd\u2019s trademark specialty . such stunts could not take place onstage in a play or vaudeville act ; it would be too difficult and expensive to set up . it is a prime example of a humorous scene that would not be possible without the medium of cinema , which lloyd knew full well how to use to its maximum potential .\nas his recurring character , the boy , harold lloyd has come to be known as a uniquely cinematic talent . unlike his peers with backgrounds in vaudeville acting\u2014most notably charlie chaplin and buster keaton\u2014lloyd was \u201ca product of the film industry\u201d ( haroldlloyd . com ) . according to his official website , \u201clloyd learned to use the camera the way other comics used a bowler hat or a funny walk . \u201d one might argue that as a promotional tool for the estate of harold lloyd , the website might just be making unfounded claims to make lloyd look better . yet there is credence to its claim . consider lloyd\u2019s famous comic image from\non easy street , chaplin\u2019s comedy of role reversal manifests in a different way . a silly weakling of a man signs up to become a police officer because he has no job and needs money , and he somehow manages to put criminals in jail by luck . we know that the tramp cannot defeat a big burly goon in honest hand - to - hand combat , which makes it all the more funny when he suddenly thinks to use the gas in the street light lamps to knock the troublemaker unconscious . essentially by accident , a goofball becomes a city hero and respected citizen , which is funny because it is unexpected .\nis one of the last opportunities to see lloyd paired against his longtime leading lady bebe daniels . daniels , who was already part of roach ' s stable of actors ( after being hired for $ 50 a week at age 14 ) , made over 140 one - and two - reelers with lloyd . but their collaboration came to an end one night when daniels , roach and lloyd were having dinner and cecil b . demille approached their table and asked if she ' d like to be in his movies instead . daniels demurred , saying she wouldn ' t move until her contract with roach was up . but as soon as it was , demille signed her for $ 1000 a week - - first appearing in\n, in particular , contains a lot of interesting social commentary . before getting to that , however , it\u2019s important to get a summary glance of the essential storyline . a well -

( the movie finds this phrase hysterical enough to repeat at least half a dozen times . ) at first , sarah is disappointed that beau is not the genealogical rosetta stone of her confused identity . but over the course of the evening she banters pleasantly with her charming almost - dad , has a great deal to drink , and winds up sleeping with him . not only does she betray fianc\u00e9 jeff , she does it with perhaps the most inappropriate non - blood - relative on the face of the earth , a man about whom she knows barely anything except that he ' s had carnal knowledge of both her mother and grandmother before her .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nmy first movie , it ' s fairly well known , was a disaster . i stupidly felt that the people financing it had more to lose then i did if it was bad ,\nfincher told bbc one in 2011 .\ni sort of allowed myself to be steered into this communal making and then when the shit hits the fan , all of a sudden everyone scatters and you ' re the guy saying ' wait ? who has a suggestion now ?

be rubber industrialist who is determined to transport a steamer ship through a south american jungle to a vast rubber territory in peru during the early 20th century . herzog wanted to give the film absolute realism , so he made his film crew transport a real 30 -

haut serge hazanavicius started acting while studying in 1986 and has played in over 20 theater plays and 70 films in france and abroad . in the early 2000\u0092s , he started writing and directing his own projects . he first wrote , directed and acted in a short film and went on to direct theater plays as well as stand - up comedy shows . the breakthrough happened in 2003 , with the highly - acclaimed theatre play adaptation of the novel 84 charing cross road , which he directed and acted in . the play was nominated for the moli\u00e8re ( french theatre awards ) and toured for over 2 years . serge hazanavicius has kept on acting , writing and directing plays . in 2012 , he started to work on his first feature film : to the top . a film about his other great passion : the mountains , and more specifically high mountain skiing , also known as\nfreeride\n.\nin this version , genie replaces the peddler famous for singing\narabian nights\n; harkening back to the original concept of having the peddler reveal to be him at the end of the first film . as such , he performs\narabian nights\nand disappears until his iconic introduction in the cave of wonders .\nfor all the cult interest in the thief and the cobbler now , schreck\u2019s film doesn\u2019t shy away from showing the problems williams encountered . like the fact that the film\u2019s protagonist bore a striking resemblance to jafar from walt disney\u2019s aladdin ( 1992 ) , a fact that could pose a liability for williams ' s studio , warner bros . \u201cit ' s hard to say how much was deliberate theft , accidental inspiration , or mere coincidence , \u201d schreck says of the likeness , allowing that it might be a combination of the three . all the same , a bad situation : \u201cwhatever it is , it wasn ' t good for williams . \u201d\nlike the walk last week , crimson peak is another mid - range - budgeted , polished studio film whose box - office swan - dive is tough to account for . the sumptuous production design and visuals came through loud and clear in captivating trailers ; the film\u2019s artistic and literary wellsprings have been professorially conveyed by director guillermo del toro on his new ( and genuinely interesting ) twitter feed ; the reviews have been appreciative , mostly . but its $ 12 . 8m us debut is truly disappointing \u2013 well beaten to the top spot by kids\u2019 spooker goosebumps ( $ 23 . 5m ) and way off the pace set for horror this year by m night shyamalan\u2019s the visit ( $ 25 . 7m ) in september . critically , crimson peak is not part of the low - budget brigade that now dominates the horror field , but an expensive $ 55m jewel - case of a film that looks to be a rare misjudgement by universal in an otherwise outstanding 2015 .\nschreck did , at one point , reach out to williams for comment , but no luck . no word yet about his thoughts on the film , either . \u201ci don ' t feel compelled to pressure him to talk , \u201d schreck said , \u201cthe ball is in his court , as far as i ' m concerned . \u201d\nwe\u2019re not sure who fought to have this character included or exactly why , as the initial article doesn\u2019t exactly say . but it doesn\u2019t really matter whether it was disney , ritchie , or some uptight studio exec who won\u2019t acknowledge their own bias . what matters is that aladdin was , before this news broke , going to be a film primarily starring people of color . it was going to be a film that would help the studio make a step in the right direction , and while the vast majority of the leading cast will still be sticking around , it\u2019s disappointing to think that for whatever reason , they just couldn\u2019t be trusted to lead a movie without a white character present .\nthe director of mountain , jennifer peedom , known for the closeness with which she portrays people in extreme situations ( solo [ 2008 ] , sherpa [ 2015 ] ) , will come to san sebastian to present her latest film , a suggestive journey packed with historical archival footage and beautiful contemporary images , with which she aims to expand upon western culture\u0092s fascination with mountains .\nthe studio also reiterated plans for a mulan live - action film as well as a movie based on their jungle cruise ride that starred dwayne \u201cthe rock\u201d johnson . an early look at the emily blunt - starring mary poppins returns was also unveiled , alongside a teaser trailer for a wrinkle in time and behind - the - scenes footage of star wars : the last jedi .\nbruno ganz ' s portrayal of the f\u00fchrer at bay in his berlin bunker in the 2004 film untergang ( downfall ) was no satire , but it was made so when footage from the film of hitler ranting against the failings of his generals was transformed by clever subtitles into the manchester united owner excoriating his team and manager ' s shortcomings . the satirical device then went viral : everyone with a grudge subtitled the footage to settle dreary scores . the downfall of arguably the most evil man in history was thus transmuted through satire into everyday yip - yap . hitler ' s crazed reaction to the realisation of his looming doom thanks to the soviet advance on the eastern front mutated into nothing more fraught than a particularly tasty five live phone - in .\nat this 3 - d film and live - action hybrid show , the magic lamp theater , at tokyo disneysea , genie plays a part in a magic act , but he and his lamp are locked away when the magician he is helping grows jealous of his power . now , the magician ' s apprentice seeks to release genie and give the audience a real magic show .\ngenie plays a large , and notable role in the broadway stage adaptation of the film , portrayed by james monroe iglehart . since the show ' s debut in 2014 , iglehart ' s portrayal of genie has received critical acclaim from audiences and critics , alike , winning a tony award for best actor and interestingly echoing the reception of robin williams ' original portrayal of him back in 1992 .\n54 . these videocassettes are most often duplicated from tapes recorded during theatrical screenings of the film ( complete with the comments and laughter of the audience , and the occasional head or body in the way of the videocamera ) , probably taped in the united states or , more likely , in singapore , since films generally open in singapore before they are screened in the rest of southeast asia .\nthe saiff is one of the four annual film festivals in the new york tri - state area showing south asian films . it gives awards in many categories . this year ' s jury includes actors ajay naidu and samrat chakraborty , and vivek j tiwary , one of the few indian producers in new york theatre and who has also been a minority producer in mel brook ' s the producers .\nwilliams has been a big influence on schreck as a filmmaker , but schreck is careful to say he did not want to make \u201ca fawning , myopic , fanboy wank of a movie . \u201d as he was making the film and learning more about what unfolded , schreck began to see it wasn\u2019t a rote story of an artist versus hollywood . \u201cit ' s not that simplistic , \u201d schreck said .\ngenie is the tritagonist in disney ' s 1992 animated feature film , aladdin . he is a comedic , larger - than - life spirit ( a\njinni\n) residing in a magical oil lamp hidden within the cave of wonders . genie harnesses phenomenal cosmic power that allows him to transcend space and time , but is burdened to remain bound to his lamp unless granted freedom by a master .\nin hindsight , it is sanjay leela bhansali who did more bad than good to actor ab by painting him black . every film , ever since , bachchan just repeats his devraj sahai act \u2014 trying to chomp every word like it\u0092s the last one he will ever spit out . ring master isn\u0092t joking when he tells him : \u0093 aur do char bhashan de aur main bore hoke mar jaoonga ! \u0094\nin the past , the song - and - dance numbers that were the studio ' s touchstone had often become small productions in their own right , not necessarily serving the story . even beauty and the beast , certainly a more ambitious and technically superior film , put the plot on hold for showstoppers like gaston and be our guest - wonderful , witty creations both , but not key to the plot .\ngenie also appeared as the main attraction of aladdin : a musical spectacular , formerly played at disney ' s california adventure and currently aboard the disney fantasy cruise ship . in the show , genie plays out the same role in the film , and each actor channels robin willams ' original performance by incorporating pop culture references and mixing the jokes nearly each show to reflect current events in the world and entertainment .\nparesh entertains and educates moviegoers , many for the very first time , on a true indian hero with the story of dhundiraj govind phalke ,\nsaid saiff president shilen amin ,\nand how the birth of indian cinema took shape nearly 95 years ago . this is a very special film for everyone to see and we are proud for him and his team for their 2010 academy award nomination .\ni think one thing the makers need to keep in mind is to make sure they don\u2019t take the viewers for granted which is what seems to be happening here . i mean just because it is a hindi film , do you really need 6 or 7 songs ? if it is a fantasy or super hero flick , why not make it more realistic and darker ( say like dark knight or batman begins ) .\ni couldnt agree wid u more mr anonymous . u took da words rite out of my mouth . da key point being dat da makers simply took da audience for granted . i watched bout 10 mins den turned it off , never do dat normally , but i will watch it . da budget da film was made on was completely ridiculous . and da supposed competion between aladdin and ld was and is laughable .\ni am not surprised at all . it was apparent ever since the first promos released . they seemed for a lack of a better word silly . indian fantasy flicks are just idiotic . they seem to take the audience for granted and are promoted on how much money the makers used on special effects . while that is important and an interesting promotional strategy , it seems like that\u2019s their main way of promoting the film .\nin the episode of the aladdin television series ,\nseems like old crimes\n, it is revealed that , long before the events of the first film , abu originally worked for a traveling circus of thieves , consisting of himself , a duo named minos and fatima , and aziz . abu served as the group ' s pickpocket and actually met aladdin after making an attempt to steal his money . after an adventure together , the two eventually became friends .\nbill heick , one of the adventurers who took to the coasts of indonesia looking for waves in the early 80s , will come to san sebastian to attend the european premiere of secrets of desert point at the festival . his father , a producer of ethnographic documentaries , made a series of recordings of indonesian regional dances , also making the most of the occasion to film that fabulous journey between friends which ended with a key discovery in the history of contemporary surf .\nin kevin macdonald ' s 2006 film adaptation of the novel , james mcavoy ' s dr nicholas garrigan attends a rally and , like the ugandans around him , is captivated by forest whitaker ' s amin . this is generally intolerable in popular - culture depictions of dictators : we cannot allow ourselves to be so compromised as to even consider the possibility that the dictator has captivating allure for fear that we might imagine that we too might be seducible by the intolerable .\nin the television series , abu is often paired with the far more antagonistic and greedy iago , whose over - the - top actions often force abu to act as a\nvoice of reason\n, a trait not seen in the original film . this indicates abu ' s ability to grow and mature . even so , abu has had occasional instances of slipping back into his thieving tendencies , which was the center of the episode\nto cure a thief\n.\nit especially wasn\u2019t good for williams\u2019s testy relationship with warner bros . , and would be one of the reasons why the studio contractually pulled the thief and the cobbler from his control . ( others included the fact he couldn\u2019t make their preordained deadline , and they didn\u2019t like an initial rough cut . ) warner bros . installed the film at miramax family films , which ultimately butchered schreck\u2019s vision\u2014making it more disneyesque , with a slick musical soundtrack\u2014under the new title arabian knight ( 1995 ) ."]}

hero jon heder ? who better to deliver an acerbic , bullying , confrontational mentor - type than the always - cranky billy bob thornton ? how fun would it be to pit those two against each other ?\npreviously a members club , it became a hotel in 1969 . formerly called the edgwarebury , it was amazing to see the location of where terry - thomas and ian carmichael filmed the famous tennis scenes at \u201cthe old chippentonian tennis club\u201d which inspired two of the art prints from the school for scoundrels pop art collection .\nprice had , of course , previously appeared in director robert hamer\u2019s peerless classic kind hearts and coronets , and school for scoundrels sadly represented the final curtain for the director , who had descended from a functioning alcoholic to a non - functioning one . he was fired and cyril frankel ( who went on to direct many itc series ) completed the picture . you wouldn\u2019t know there were any such ructions , so easily confident is the finished film and so smoothly does its effective repertory company fit in .\njust as henry fell for their nonsense in the first half of the film , the winsome welshmen are suckered in now and end up swapping the swiftmobile for an ex -

according to imdb this is his first acting credit - was flawless in his performance . the screenplay was also spot on . there were several twists and turns - right up until the end - that i never saw coming . the dialogue felt authentic and the characters were likable and memorable - not an easy feat considering they ' re all scam artists . there was also a lot of social commentary on the justice system in america , something that writer ryan priest embeds seamlessly into the story . this film won several awards at a san diego independent film festival and they were all well deserved . i would highly recommend seeing it if you have the chance .\nbut the rep urged \u201canyone who thinks they may have been targeted by fraudsters in this way , or may have been a victim of this fraud , \u201d to still issue a report , enabling the bureau to build up a profile and warn others . the scam has also been brought to the attention of bectu , the u . k . \u2019s union for film and tv crew , which has issued an alert .\nin california , film production amounts to an annual $ 16 . 3 -

( after all , why did he spend all that time hanging around with the apostles ? ) the central character of the film is actually a young gay male in contemporary america whose sexual obsession with jesus helps him to understand the \u201chidden meaning\u201d of the gospels .\nhuaxia is one of two state -

$ 250 .\ni\u2019ve been in the industry long enough to feel suspicious about it so i didn\u2019t respond , then i googled his name and lo and behold i have found this site with his name and scams everywhere . decided to post here to add to the good work people are doing here making people aware of this scam artist . the phone number he texted me from is 510 -

existence of a \u201cgay jesus film\u201d did not stem the ire of those who heard about it . blasphemy \u2014 even the mere hint of it \u2014 is enough to mobilize good christian soldiers everywhere . in 1988 , martin scorsese\u2019s the last temptation of christ reaped massive publicity \u2014 and long lines at the box office \u2014 after fundamentalist christians picketed theaters . the uproar wasn\u2019t over a gay jesus , merely one who both questioned his fate and who had a dream about a sexual relationship with mary magdalene . the film remains controversial to this day .\nas the director of photography , you will assists with production designers , art directors , set dressers and even wardrobe crew and hairstylists to help establish the look of the film and its individual scenes . . you will work closely with me and other crew throughout the production process .\nstate sen . herschel rosenthal ( d -

profile people who were attached to this film had their names on it for so long and didn\u2019t consider removing them , \u201d says jonathan weissler , a u . k . producer who has made three films in hong kong and one in china .\nwe have concluded that the \u201cjesus movie\u201d rumor originated in 1977 when a suburban chicago publication , modern people news , reported that certain interests in europe were planning such a film and requested that readers express their opinion of the purported project . the result was the chain -

( jay l . clendenin / los angeles times )\na number of reviews have nevertheless grouped\nlittle men\nwith\nkeep the lights on\nand\nlove is strange\nas a continuing examination of new york city in transition .\nhis latest film , little men , uses a story about two young boys whose friendship is threatened by their warring parents to offer a piercing examination of gentrification in america . sachs\u2019 approach is so humane , and his characters so fully rendered , that an agenda never announces itself ; instead , sachs\u2019 worldview seeps into you . he\u2019s that skilled a film - maker .\nmovie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .\nstill , the main resemblance between the seagull and little men is structural : little men feels like a play . if everyone speaks in a way that seems ever so slightly stilted \u2014 injecting exposition or philosophy into moments that don ' t necessarily provoke them \u2014 it works . the film feels rangy and stylized , but every scene sharpens to an odd and unexpected point . ( a scene in which kinnear loses his temper in the car with jennifer ehle and the two boys is especially effective . )\nit\u2019s not an autobiographical film , but it\u2019s the city and the experiences that i know .\nlittle indie film that has strong young characters . the film is a drama and doesn ' t get lost in the hollywood melodrama world . the acting is top notch , just the pacing is a little off , never giving us the character drama that it promises . seeing the 98 percent from critics is disappointing , this film while being good is not at a prestige rating . the divide between audience and critics is clearly starting to grow , why need critics anymore ? 27 / 04 / 2017 .\ndickon hinchliffe\u2019s perfectly judged score percolates throughout . the cumulative effect of the film is heart - rending .\nbig little lies was alluring , but sharp objects is intoxicating , thanks in large part to its direction and editing .\nlittle men is in dialogue with a lot of literature \u2014 it ' s named for louisa may alcott ' s book of the same name , and edgar allan poe ' s\nannabel lee\nmakes a major appearance \u2014 but its main intertext is chekhov ' s play the seagull . the male principals in little men ( like many of the main characters in that play ) all want to be artists or actors , and the film is at least as much about artistry and anxiety \u2014 about freedom and loss and the parts of existence you sacrifice to your ambition \u2014 as it is about anything else .\nira sachs ' s lean but potent film is the kind of story that works wonderfully well on its own .\nproud that a fellow jew had the \u1e25utsp\u00e2 ( \u05d7\u05bb\u05e6\u05b0\u05e4\u05b8\u05bc\u05d4 ) to make this film . fucking gentrification , man .\nyou\u2019ve never seen two young actors give such breakthrough performances like the two stars at the heart of little men , an intimate gem of a film from director ira sachs ( keep the lights on , love is strange ) . sachs and his regular co - writer mauricio zacharias , craft a film of serious pleasure , filled with real , messy characters whose inner thoughts and feelings don\u2019t always necessarily come through when they speak . it requires you to lean in close and pay attention .\na sweet and maddeningly incomplete portrait of a friendship , little men concludes as unexpectedly as the friendship it tracks ; the ending is small and oblique and punishing . if you ' re anything like me , you might leave the theater hating the film just a little for what it showed and \u2014 crucially \u2014 for what it didn ' t . but the more i thought about my resentment , the more fitting it seemed : adult drama is so often the cause of the endings kids don ' t get .\nlittle men jangles with warmth and loss , and if it tells a story about new york we ' ve heard many times before , the story it tells about childhood - about how people turn a corner and vanish - stings at least as much as it sings .\nlittle men ,\nwhich co - stars jennifer ehle , talia balsam and alfred molina , is the third film sachs has co - written with mauricio zacharias , after 2012 ' s\nkeep the lights on\nand 2014 ' s\nlove is strange .\nsachs won the grand jury prize at sundance in 2005 for his second feature ,\nforty shades of blue .\nthe film is supposed to be actual but angola is a nation since november , 11 1975 , not a portuguese colony .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\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 .\nyet jake and tony\u2019s lives are balanced with those of their parents . their final scene has something desperately sad : it is where the film achieves a strangely literary quality , like an exceptionally powerful short story . film -

of - age projects that let younger actors shine . childhood is back to being a subject directors and writers take up with some care , and the results are beautiful if \u2014 frankly \u2014 a little odd . that ' s as it should be : childhood is weird , and the peculiar tilt of the field on which kids meet is a huge part of the drama of growing up and growing apart .\ntulip talks to god , and it\u2019s not a pleasant conversation , and we learn a little more custer family history in one of season three\u2019s funniest episodes .\nit ' s not an autobiographical film , but it ' s the city and the experiences that i know ,\nsaid sachs .\neveryone is really just trying to figure out how to get by . and losing sometimes . and this film is a personal view of that .\non the surface , \u201c little men \u201d is a movie about gentrification , hinging on a brooklyn building ( set up with an apartment upstairs and a small shop down below ) passed from one generation to the next , where the tenant renting the street - level space gets pinched by the neighborhood\u2019s trendy new identity . but no one goes to the movies to watch stories of gentrification ( just ask \u201cnasty baby\u201d director sebastian silva ) . though sachs\u2019 observations do succeed in personalizing the phenomenon , the reason we go \u2014 indeed , the reason we care \u2014 is because \u201clittle men\u201d is also a story about love , and as sachs has poignantly noted before , love is strange .\nlittle men\nhas a melodramatic set - up out of 1930s agitprop theatre ( landlords vs . tenants ) . melodrama for some reason has a bad reputation , seeming to suggest soap operas or three - hanky weepers , but melodrama has always been one of the most effective genres for social and economic criticism because down on the ground things really\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\nits smallness makes it grand and moving . these are the things , these little moments , decisions and consequences that most human lives are made of , after all .\nkeep the lights on\nwas deeply rooted in a relationship from sachs ' own life , the tale of a tortured , toxic love affair , while\nlove is strange\nwas inspired by family members . though\nlittle men\nis based on bits and pieces from its writers ' own experiences , it is less rooted in real incidents .\nmichael barbieri was accepted at new york ' s fiorello h . laguardia high school of music & art and performing arts after the film premiered . see more \u00bb\nira sachs \u2019 \u201c little men \u201d is a little movie brimming with little truths about modern life . it won\u2019t change the world , but it does understand it \u2014 far more insightfully than all the formula blockbusters that will be competing for the same few screens where such a quiet and tenderly observed movie might hope to find a home . most of those screens will likely be in new york , where the story takes place , focusing on a category of person virtually invisible in that big city \u2014 not a minority ( although it has that , too ) , but children \u2014 privileging lives not yet dedicated to work with an importance the commerce - driven metropolis seldom comprehends , and doing so in a way that only adults can fully appreciate .\nin the tender final image of ira sachs ' love is strange , a teenage boy experiencing loss for the first time coasts off down a manhattan street on his skateboard . at a key point in the director ' s beautiful new film , little men , an introverted 13 - year - old glides on rollerblades around brooklyn neighborhoods that , until recently , he explored with perhaps his first real friend . a sense of poetic continuity connects these two fine - grained portraits of new york life in other ways , too , even though the narratives are unrelated .\noriginally i think the film was called ' silent treatment ' and the fact those boys are on strike against their parents , that was just a great idea ,\nhe added .\nbut when that idea is hatched in the story , it is the most missable , little , dismissive moment . and that ' s how it would happen .\nthe film is quiet but vibrant , and ira sachs does a lovely job coaxing images to life out of stillness , and tenderness out of situations that might seem barren of it .\n\u201clittle men\u201d is often at its best when it cuts through the natural optimism of its younger characters . one of the most fascinating dynamics is that between their mothers \u2014 when jake\u2019s mom ( a grounded jennifer ehle ) visits tony\u2019s and tries on a dress , it seems as though a shared feminine or maternal bond might help them to cut through the bullshit . the toxicity that eventually settles between them is damning .\nthat quibble aside , this is a lovely thing . barbieri is a fizzy , charismatic delight , and taplitz complements his verve with a precise and nerdy awkwardness that collapses spectacularly when it needs to . little men jangles with warmth and loss , and if it tells a story about new york we ' ve heard many times before , the story it tells about childhood \u2014 about how people turn a corner and vanish \u2014 stings at least as much as it sings .\n\u201clittle men\u201d is a modest movie , maybe even a touch too modest to grapple with every aspect of its central crisis , but sachs\u2019 unwavering humanism reverberates with twice the scale of \u201csuicide squad . \u201d if the film is weighted towards the white kid , and ends ( with tremendous grace ) by focusing on what he might take away from another person\u2019s trauma , there\u2019s a good reason for that : the gentrified don\u2019t need to learn the human cost of being displaced \u2014 the onus is on the gentrifiers to recognize the true price of pricing people out . \u201cyou\u2019ve gotta learn to let go , \u201d jake\u2019s dad tells him . sure , but you have to learn how to hold on , as well .\nsachs ' best films \u2014 and this ranks among them \u2014 are a careful accumulation of small , acutely observed details . they add up to reveal a much larger humanistic picture that touches with unerring restraint on social issues as well as personal themes . in this case , that includes gentrification and class inequality , but also coming of age , loneliness and , arguably , inchoate sexuality . there ' s a finite theatrical audience for miniaturist work of such subtlety and intelligence , but little men deserves to find it .\nthe two young actors playing jake and tony are so natural that it feels like they strolled in off the street and started improvising .\nlittle men\ndoes not condescend to ambitious serious children . tony takes an acting class in what appears to be the meisner technique , and seeing him in action during a repetition exercise ( a great scene ) is important because it shows tony ' s desires are not theoretical . he wants it . tony is fearless ; tony is easily intimate with other people ; tony is open .\nin manhattan , film - maker erik bonds with closeted lawyer paul after a fling . as their relationship becomes one fueled by highs , lows , and dysfunctional patterns , erik struggles to negotiate his own boundaries while being true to himself .\nmichael barbieri and theo taplitz give truly outstanding performances as tony and jake : a delicate , nuanced friendship \u2013 tony is bold , confident , charming and humorous , the extrovert to jake\u2019s introvert . in a way it is like first love , and the film suggests that this might be something more than friendship , but probably isn\u2019t , and there are in any case no cliches and no stereotypes . tony and jake might under other circumstances occupy the entire space of the film : it could have been a kind of platonic version of edmund white\u2019s a boy\u2019s own story , and there is a kind of understated , almost subliminal gay sensibility to the film that is a part of its shrewdness and emotional acuity .\na standout scene in the film involves kinnear ' s character bryan and garc\u00eda ' s character leonor , whom he tries to evict . it ' s a treat to watch kinnear at his most skillfully awkward opposite an enormous talent like garc\u00eda . ( american viewers may know garc\u00eda from narcos , the 33 , and the highly praised film gloria . chileans will know her from \u2014 among other things \u2014 the chilean mini - series los archivos del cardenal , where she played m\u00f3nica spencer . )\na small and quiet film with great performances from the cast - especially the two young leads jake ( theo taplitz ) and tony ( michael barbieri ) - who become friends when jake\u2019s grandfather dies and his family move into a brooklyn apartment above a shop leased by tony\u2019s mother .\nwhat works less well \u2014 and this is very minor , but it bears mentioning \u2014 are the accents . i wish more films and tv shows would incorporate spanish the way little men does , but i also wish they did it with the care we take with accents in english , not letting australian pass for british or british for american . garc\u00eda ' s accent is obviously chilean , but the same cannot be said for her\nchilean friend\nhern\u00e1n ( played by alfred molina ) . molina ' s a fabulous actor , but he can ' t pass for chilean when he speaks spanish and should not have been asked to try .\nat the end of stephen king ' s\nit ,\nnarrator bill denbrough muses :\nhe thinks that it is good to be a child , but it is also good to be a grown - up and able to consider the mystery of childhood . . . its beliefs and desires . . . it ' s nice . . . to think that childhood has its own sweet secrets and confirms mortality , and that mortality defines all courage and love .\nthe friendship of jake and tony in\nlittle men\ncarries that kind of bittersweet weight . jake and tony hold hands over the growing abyss between their parents . they ' re only 13 years old . do they know that relationships are fragile and need protection ? do they understand how precious their friendship is , how much they need to hold onto it , how much they will miss it if it ends ? these questions carry intense reverberation long after the film ends .\nira sachs\u2019 dramas are so understated in their ambition , they\u2019re easy to take for granted . love is strange , his 2014 film about a married gay couple\u2019s lives capsizing after they\u2019re forced to move out of their new york apartment , argued for marriage equality with near - subliminal stealth and power .\nagain , there\u2019s that sense that tony serves as the key champion for jake\u2019s artistic future . compare a scene in which they discuss his drawings with one in which jake , deeply wounded that some of his favorite sketches appear to have gotten thrown out during the move , is lectured by his father on how it can feel good to let things go \u2014 one moment helps set his career path in motion , while the other represents the sort of resentment jake will likely harbor for life . these are precisely the sort of moments in which sachs and screenwriter mauricio zacharias specialize , like painters whose every brushstroke represents a childhood memory that will ultimately come to define these two little men .\nlittle men\nis only 85 minutes long , and its brevity works in its favor . the mood is compressed and urgent . leonor ' s 13 - year - old son tony ( michael barbieri ) is a gregarious , friendly kid , and he and jake strike up an unlikely friendship . they have a lot in common , mainly their ambition for their futures . jake is serious about being an artist , and tony wants to be an actor . they roam the streets , jake wobbling on roller - blades , tony zipping along on a kick scooter , brooklyn passing in a blur , music surging up around them . ( these shots repeat . they are explosions of wordless emotion . )\nnative new yorkers watch a lot of films and television shows set in manhattan and think ,\nthe apartments are too big . the hallways are too wide . i had to cut my bedframe in half in order to get it up the stairs .\nsachs does not have a tourist ' s mentality towards the city . the apartments are cluttered and cramped , people are on top of each other in any given space . new york is ( increasingly ) just for the rich , with entire neighborhoods driven out of existence by rising costs . when a city forgets or ignores its own past , what else is lost in the process ? loss is the air that\nlittle men\nbreathes .\nmight have had an extreme reaction here , because this happened to be the first film i watched after the election and the last thing i wanted was to find myself sympathizing almost entirely with the white people . nor does this appear to be a problem that anyone else shares , which troubles me . * no doubt most folks zero in on sachs ' intention , which is perfectly clear : he means to create a thorny , irresolvable situation , with neither party in the right and the kids caught in the crosshairs . laudable , and it ' s safe to say that i ' m receptive to that idea in broad outline , given that a separation is my favorite film of the century so far . but . . . leonor is just a horrible\u2026\nsachs would obviously rather spend time with his title characters , the burgeoning artists . barbieri at first struck me as way over the top , but his exuberance connects with his character\u2019s . there\u2019s a scene in an improv class in which tony and the teacher shout back and forth ( it\u2019s an exercise ) that goes on and on until you think , \u201cacting for this kid is existential . \u201d taplitz\u2019s introspection , meanwhile , gives way to an explosion of tears that had me wiping away my own . the kids\u2019 battle might be hopeless , but little men made me think of dr . johnson\u2019s \u201cit is necessary to hope , though hope should always be deluded ; for hope itself is happiness and its frustrations , however frequent , are less dreadful than its extinction . \u201d there\u2019s no chance of hope going extinct in jake . he\u2019s too open \u2014 like his director .\nin part because of expectations from the involvement in gay culture found in\nkeep the lights on\nand\nlove is strange ,\nthere is an almost subliminal expectation that there will a gay story line in sachs ' new film as well . and while the two teenage boys \u2013 sensitive , artistic outsiders \u2013 seem in some way attracted to one another , it is never spoken of nor acted upon .\nit feels affirming ,\nhe said of the tribute .\nit was so not a given that i would have a sustainable career . between my first and my second film was nine years , between my third and fourth films was five years . it ' s like figuring out that the apparatus to make it possible was struggle . so this feels like a payoff in a way for that struggle .\nthis is a film about what gentrification means in real terms , and it reminded me of laurence fishburne\u2019s speech on this subject from john singleton\u2019s 1991 movie boyz n the hood : that gentrification is a hostile act , an exploitation of communities , and something to be resisted . yet the exploiters , the incomers , can be decent people with agonisingly good intentions , muddled by suspicions and difficult , almost feudal loyalties of their own .\nat the film ' s center is a microscopic close - up on early adolescence ; the precise moment when two young boys stand on the precipice separating childhood innocence from their first bruising understanding of the complexities of the adult world . but it ' s unlike other american screen depictions of that age , aside perhaps from some micro moments in the macro - mosaic of boyhood . sachs cites two ozu films about children in conflict with their parents as the initial spark .\nthe part of the feisty dressmaker downstairs was written expressly for chilean actress paulina garcia after sachs and zacharias had seen her in the 2013 film\ngloria .\nthe two young boys however were another matter . working with casting director avy kaufman , who sachs called a\nkid whisperer\nfor her work on filling roles in films such as\nthe sixth sense ,\nthe ice storm\nand\nlife of pi ,\nthe production found taplitz in los angeles and barbieri in new york .\nall of this potentially saccharine and suffocating material is handled with such natural delicacy that its full effect doesn\u2019t hit you until after the movie is over \u2014 there are only a small handful of scenes that aren\u2019t seen from either tony or jake\u2019s pov , and one of the great accomplishments of sachs\u2019 unobtrusive direction is how organically he returns viewers to the wide - eyed wonder of being a little man in a big city . he understands that childhood is inherently cinematic , and dickon hinchliffe\u2019s plucky score shimmers with the feeling that new york looks like a completely different place when you\u2019re four feet tall .\nthese are kids who are swamped in the process of becoming , kids who haven\u2019t yet settled into the fixed understandings that plague adults . money , for one thing , is never an immediate issue between tony and jake , even as it looms over their future in the form of some slightly muddled business about the fancy high school they both want to attend . but there are certain socioeconomic realities that can\u2019t be ignored , and as their friendship deepens and they\u2019re forced to defend themselves against their parents\u2019 legal woes , the film assumes a low -

animated classic , who framed roger rabbit , on its 30 - year anniversary .\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\nwhen brian ( greg kinnear ) inherits his dead father ' s brooklyn brownstone , it is a step up for him and his family . brian is an actor who doesn ' t make much money , and his wife kathy ( jennifer ehle ) is the breadwinner . but even she doesn ' t make enough to purchase a brownstone . their 13 - year - old son jake ( theo taplitz ) is a quiet , artistic boy who has a hard time making friends . all of that changes when they move into the brownstone . on the ground floor is a dress - making shop , there for decades , run by leonor ( paulina garcia ) . brian ' s father had liked leonor , and gave her a break on the rent , allowing her to stay even as the neighborhood gentrified around them . brian ' s sister ( talia balsam ) thinks leonor should be evicted to make way for a more profitable tenant but brian hopes for a compromise . he attempts to open up a conversation with leonor about altering the agreement she had with his father . to say this does not go well is an understatement .\nin the adult world , however , things go south fast . brian finds leonor not only intractable , but openly unfriendly . leonor goes against every unexamined assumption about\nclass\nthat brian probably didn ' t even know he had . he doesn ' t say this , but it is clear he expected her to be grateful that she got a break in rent for as long as she did . leonor is not grateful , not deferential to his supposed higher status . she sucks down smoke from her cigarettes like a fuming dragon . she ' s not afraid to go for the jugular . as the war intensifies between the parents , the boys find themselves caught in the middle .\nthat important . there is nothing melodramatic about losing one ' s home and livelihood . it ' s life and death to the people involved . sachs ' approach to melodrama is human - sized and almost casual , one of his greatest gifts as a director . his shots are careful but not over - determined or showy . he is interested in the rhythms of everyday life and how those rhythms are disrupted when events accelerate .\ngreg kinnear is superb as a man torn in many different directions , the most secret one being his disappointment at how his life has turned out , and his conflicting emotions when confronted with the artistic ambitions of his young son . his frustration at leonor ' s attitude shows the residues of entitlement that have helped form and warp his personality . brian is ashamed that his wife supports him financially , but it ' s something he can ' t allow himself to say out loud .\npaulina garc\u00eda gives one of the best performances of the year as leonor . to greg and kathy she is a maddening witch -

( english , spanish dialogue )\nmeanwhile , making friends in that way that comes so easily to children \u2014 where the perfect intersection of geography , gender and age is often all that is necessary for two otherwise completely different individuals to forge a meaningful bond \u2014 the naturally outgoing tony recognizes that jake is something of an introvert , but reaches out anyway , offering to show him around the neighborhood and later inviting him over to play video games . their bond is strong enough that once their parents start to quarrel , instead of taking sides , they stick together , giving the adults the silent treatment .\nnaturally , the adults need to sort out the real - estate mess , although it\u2019s telling that nearly every scene is seen through the children\u2019s eyes . even the exceptions , as when brian rehearses for an off off broadway revival of \u201cthe seagull\u201d ( since chekhov\u2019s \u201cthe cherry orchard\u201d probably would have been too on - the - nose ) , are significant only insofar as they interest the kids \u2014 in this case , because tony also dreams of being an actor ( in real life , barbieri has pacino\u2019s charisma , plus a new york italian accent thicker than stallone\u2019s ) , and subsequently tries to convince jake to join him in applying to the laguardia high school for the performing arts .\ncrew : directed by ira sachs . screenplay , sachs , mauricio zacharias . camera ( color ) , oscar duran ; editors , mollie goldstein , affonso goncalves ; music , dickon hinchliffe ; music supervisor , jim black ; production designer , alexandra schaller ; costume designer , eden miller ; sound designer , damian volpe ; associate producers , joe aliberti , meetu chilana , grace colby , joseph g . della monica , patrick depeters , andrew drabkin , barrie golden , vanessa haroutunian , bryan hughes , cathleen ihasz , nicole ihasz , joe kobzan , jisun jamie lee , jeffery\ndadsrights\nleving , michael messmer , tracy scott nadler , andy pargh , larry tsai , mandy ward , walter j . wiacek ; assistant director , eric berkal ; casting , avy kaufman .\nwith : greg kinnear , jennifer ehle , paulina garcia , michael barbieri , theo taplitz , talia balsam , maliq johnson , anthony angelo flamminio , maddison wright , mauricio bustamante , john proccacino , alfred molina .

year - old jake , an artistic loner who strikes up an unlikely friendship with tony ( michael barbieri , equally impressive ) , after jake\u2019s grandfather dies . the death results in jake\u2019s father , brian ( greg kinnear ) , inheriting the building in which tony\u2019s mother , leonor ( paulina garcia ) , operates a quaint clothing store . unbeknownst to the two boys , brian and his wife , kathy ( jennifer ehle ) , have intentions to raise the rent significantly for leonor ; as brian\u2019s sister ( talia balsam ) firmly relays to her brother , the property is worth $ 4 , 000 more per month than leonor pays . the resulting tensions this stirs up gradually come to affect the children\u2019s lives .\nthe bond struck by jake and tony forms the heart of the picture \u2013 and to watch that connection come under fire from circumstances that are out of their control is deeply moving .\nthe parents , unsurprisingly , lash out horribly at one another when an agreement fails to be made , with leonor at one point suggesting to brian that his late father favored her over his own son . but no matter how heated matters get , sachs and his terrific cast keep the proceedings grounded via a naturalistic approach that is endlessly absorbing and empathetic . no character\u2019s predicament is entirely unsympathetic . the humanity sachs and his actors depict is profound and leaves a mark .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nis about something that looms large in real life , but never usually gets acknowledged in the movies in any but the vaguest way \u2013 banal , undignified embarrassment over money , and the deadly serious damage this causes .\ngreg kinnear plays brian , a struggling new york actor ; the breadwinner is his wife kathy , played by jennifer ehle ; their sensitive teenage son jake ( theo taplitz ) wants to be an artist . when brian\u2019s dad dies , the family\u2019s money worries appear to be over : he has left brian a large , handsome apartment in upwardly mobile brooklyn \u2013 at present , they have a cramped place in manhattan . the apartment comes with a sitting tenant : downstairs is a dress shop , which has been there for years , run by the harassed and hardworking leonor ( paulina garc\u00eda ) . brian is now entitled to the rental income , though his soppy old dad charged leonor only a fraction of the market rate , and her lease is now up for renewal .\nbrian\u2019s only job at the moment is a part in a profit - share production of chekhov\u2019s the seagull , he realises that his career can only go downhill from here and he needs money . increasing leonora\u2019s rent is a very obvious way to secure his financial future , and he is in any case under pressure to do so from his sister audrey ( talia balsam ) , herself entitled to half this rent , and with money issues of her own . so brian \u2013 liberal , well - meaning and self - pitying \u2013 is steeling himself for this horrifically difficult conversation with his neighbour when he realises that his lonely son has become best friends with leonor\u2019s son tony ( michael barbieri ) , a wannabe actor , and so he actually owes leonor and her family a very important debt .\nit is a kind of nightmare , and another kind of movie might want to escalate this situation generically into broad satirical comedy or psychological horror . but sachs keeps it rigorously at the level of embarrassing real life , and the characterisation and narrative developments are not forced on us ; we are kept a step away , with scenes that do not appear at first to have obvious narrative relevance , like tony\u2019s drama improv class .\nsachs and his screenwriting partner mauricio zacharias show all the ways in which confrontation causes everyone to overplay their hand and put themselves in the wrong . feeling understandably cornered by brian and kathy\u2019s casual visits \u2013 they want , after all , nothing other than to increase her rent threefold \u2013 leonor becomes coldly angry , pointing out to brian that she had a real friendship with his late father , clumsily claiming that she knew him better than brian . later , brian overreacts to what he perceives as tony\u2019s ill manners , and this grown man makes a petulant outburst that is a wince - making misjudgment .\ntheo taplitz and michael barbieri co - star in this crushingly beautiful portrait of growing up in the shadow of gentrification .\nit takes 12 minutes and 23 seconds to run from jake\u2019s apartment to tony\u2019s , but there\u2019s an entire world in the space between their two brooklyn homes . thirteen - year - old jake ( a sensitive and severely empathetic theo taplitz ) is a white fourth or fifth generation american kid whose grandfather \u2014 the longtime owner of a small apartment building \u2014 has just passed away . tony ( michael barbieri , a pint - sized robert de niro ) is the son of a chilean immigrant , and his mother \u2014 a sharp seamstress played by \u201cgloria\u201d star paulina garc\u00eda \u2014 has rented the retail space on the ground floor of that same apartment building for as long as anyone can remember .\nfor years , the two families of these new friends have lived in harmony , but the times they are a - changin . \u2019 and when jake\u2019s father ( greg kinnear ) , a struggling actor , inherits the real estate and insists that his tenants actually begin paying their full rent , it\u2019s the youngest generation who become the latest casualties of their city\u2019s class warfare .\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self - induced hallucination\u201d ) led them to make archival films from youtubes .\na deceptively small movie that sneaks up and slays you with its emotional authenticity . twitter\ngreg kinnear and jennifer ehle play parents navigating an uneasy situation that affects their son ' s one real friendship in ira sach ' s intimate drama .\njake goes to a private school where he ' s viewed as an awkward outsider , while gregarious tony moves with ease through the crowded ranks of his public school . they play videogames together , and tony , who wants to be an actor , serves as jake ' s guide to the neighborhood . tony also takes an interest in jake ' s paintings , and they make plans to apply to the same high school for the arts .\nin gorgeous interludes that punctuate the movie , they zoom around brooklyn \u2014 jake on blades , tony on a scooter \u2014 accompanied by the warm , surging melodies of dickon hinchliffe ' s score . with exquisite economy , sachs suggests that many of the simple pleasures of childhood and the rewards of having a supportive friend are somewhat new to jake .\nhis parents ' awareness that tony is filling a gap in their son ' s life makes them nervous when a tense situation arises with leonor . brian is an actor , in recent years working mainly in non - profit theater for lousy money . so psychotherapist kathy has been supporting the family , and they moved for economic reasons . leonor is pleasant with the new landlords , but she keeps her distance . when pushy audrey comes over for dinner and says they need to talk , leonor does everything possible to delay that conversation .\nlike love is strange , real estate and money play a big part here . there ' s a clear picture of new york as a city in constant flux , both in the writing ( the script is by sachs and mauricio zacharias , co - writer on his last three features ) and in telling details picked up in the limpid gaze of oscar duran ' s camera .\npeople displaced from one neighborhood displace people in another ; long - standing local businesses are pushed out to make way for those that can pay higher rent . there can be few cities in the world where that voracious cycle happens faster than new york . arresting shots of manhattan from across the river seem to point up the chasm separating the citadel of wealth from the still - gentrifying neighborhood where jake and his family have moved ."]}

joo and other stars appeared for this event , . . .\nin the most anthologised henry lawson stories , the australian environment , identified as the bush , is a harsh opponent to the hardened individuals who struggle to survive against its onslaughts . in my brilliant career this idea is present , but is tempered by various portrayals of rural life : possum gully is countered by bruggabrong and caddagat , and also barney\u2019s gap . barney\u2019s gap , home of the m\u2019swats , is an important component , because without it the difference would only be an economic one \u2013 caddagat is pleasant because of wealth and possum gully becomes unbearable through poverty . but franklin\u2019s picture of australian rural life is a more subtle representation that invites more considered analysis .\npit -

expression but also as a \u2018ticket\u2019 to another life \u2013 specifically , the life of an \u2018artist\u2019 as she imagines it .\nthe film ,\ndugeun , dugeun , my life ,\nis about a couple who must watch their son suffering from progeria grow prematurely old . the film is based on the novel of the same name by kim ae - ran , the film ' s distributor cj e & m said monday .\ni felt their gazes longing to tame me , but more brilliant was the brightness of the life outside them , new colors , new bodies , new intelligence , a language to possess finally as if it were my true language , and nothing , nothing that seemed to me reconcilable with that domestic space from which they stared at me in expectation . ah , to make them invisible , to no longer hear the demands of their flesh as commands more pressing , more powerful than those which came from mine .\nthe howls near the beginning of the story do not herald the birth of sybylla melvyn , the heroine , but the birth of her consciousness \u2013 her first memory , her coming to know herself . that her first memory is one of pain and of literally getting her fingers burnt , despite the idyllic setting , is consistent with the tone of the novel . from the title onwards , my brilliant career operates through irony , and indeed the title has been repeatedly borrowed and played upon , mostly in those same ironic terms . miles franklin\u2019s original title for the novel was my brilliant ( ? ) career ( roe p . 52 ) but the question mark was removed by the publishers , william blackwood & sons . franklin protested the editorial change , seeing it as neutralising the sardonic mood of the novel . consequently , the novel was taken as autobiographical \u2013 a ( factual ) story of a girl\u2019s life \u2013 and not the ironic fiction that franklin intended . the novel is no longer thought of as experimental or radical in any way , yet the opening warnings and the screams ( the screams are perhaps another part of the warning ) introduced a number of experimental departures from traditional novelistic forms of the time . like another australian \u2018classic\u2019 , joseph furphy\u2019s such is life ( 1903 ) , that is contemporary with franklin\u2019s novel , my brilliant career declares itself hostile to \u2018romance\u2019 .\n\u201cwe talked often while working together and we kept in touch between those times . she\u2019d give me advice about my career , or we\u2019d discuss personal matters . you could call her a mentor . having her at my side gave me a lot of strength . \u201d\nthe second place audience award went to lee won -

won as a clueless father . although not yet a dad in real life , kang said that playing dae - su , a teenage taekwondo enthusiast whose dream was cut short by fatherhood , wasn\u2019t difficult to master .\nwhoop ! my review of prison playbook is done ! i ended up really loving this one , more than i had expected to . i hope you guys enjoy the read ! < 3\nthis is not a romance \u2014 i have too often faced the music of life to the tune of hardship to waste time in snivelling and gushing over fancies and dreams ; neither is it a novel , but simply a yarn \u2014 a real yarn . oh ! as real , as really real \u2014 provided life itself is anything beyond a heartless little chimera \u2014 it is as real in its weariness and bitter heartache as the tall gum - trees , among which i first saw the light , are real in their stateliness and substantiality .\n\u201cit resulted because of my ignorance and carelessness . i wasn\u2019t sure if i should appear before the public or not and if doing an interview was the right thing to do , \u201d said song .\n\u201cwhen i was in my 20s , i wanted to get married soon , but now , i don\u2019t have quite the courage to form a family on my own , \u201d she said . \u201cbut i really admire dae - soo and mi - ra\u2019s perseverance and courage not to give up on their son . they do everything they can to protect the family . i think that is really beautiful . \u201d\nhowever , in the novel , or around it , sybylla really does write her own preface ; she is writing a book ( another book ) in the novel , and she addresses someone , who seems like a reader , in her closing words . the opening accident \u2013 a burn , significantly \u2013 and the ensuing cries are matched by a closing flame of sunset and a mock - heroic valedictory prayer . yet this is not a simple novel of humanist self - realisation any more than it is just a parodic romance . if sybylla is not holding a book in her hands at the close of the novel , the turning of sybylla the avid reader into sybylla the writer does hang as a possibility at the close of her \u2018ineffective life\u2019 story in my brilliant career . the elided question mark remains .\n\u201cbut as much as i take the sole blame for my faults , i had the responsibility to minimize the damage the scandal had on the movie crew who worked so hard for this film , \u201d she said .\none of my favorite things in the show , is the way both dae soo and mi ra refuse to allow their son ah reum ( jo sung mok ) to feel ashamed of being different from other kids .\ngillian armstrong\u2019s film of my brilliant career dramatises this lust for print in the scene in which sybylla and her young pupils energetically track a serialised story across the newspapered interior walls of the house . sybylla\u2019s longing for fiction and for the romance that comes in narratives ( and music ) is expressed in the frequent mention of books . reading is quite explicitly associated with nourishment \u2013 of the soul , is perhaps implied \u2013 but literally with food . much of sybylla\u2019s reading is accompanied by eating \u2013 she takes in fiction with fruit ( \u2018i ate another fig and apricot , a mulberry or two , and was interrupted in the perusal of my book by the clatter of galloping hoofs . . . \u2018 ( p . 159 ) ) . the appetite for reading spurs the appetite for writing .\nquietly , as they lie down looking up at the night sky , ah reum says to dad , \u201ci feel so happy being here with you , watching the stars . i\u2019m especially happy that you\u2019re my father . \u201d\nas soon as you read her fiction , ferrante\u2019s restraint seems wisely self - protective . her novels are intensely , violently personal , and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of confession before the unsuspecting reader . there are four novels available in english , each translated by ann goldstein , an editor at this magazine : \u201ctroubling love , \u201d \u201cthe days of abandonment , \u201d \u201cthe lost daughter , \u201d and now \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d ( all from europa editions ) . each book is narrated by a woman : an academic in \u201cthe lost daughter , \u201d and a writer in \u201cthe days of abandonment . \u201d the woman who tells the story of her neapolitan youth in \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d is named elena , and seems to cherish the possibilities of writing and being a writer . more than these occasional and fairly trivial overlappings with life , the material that the early novels visit and revisit is intimate and often shockingly candid : child abuse , divorce , motherhood , wanting and not wanting children , the tedium of sex , the repulsions of the body , the narrator\u2019s desperate struggle to retain a cohesive identity within a traditional marriage and amid the burdens of child rearing . the novels present themselves ( with the exception of the latest ) like case histories , full of flaming rage , lapse , failure , and tenuous psychic success . but these are fictional case histories . one can understand that ferrante has no interest in adding her privacy to the novelistic pyre .\nour characters are basically just regular folks living their lives , when life serves up not one , but several , lemons . not only does our main couple get bewilderedly pregnant at age 17 , their son is born with progeria , a rare genetic defect that causes him to age at a highly accelerated rate .\nthis is where \u201cmy brilliant friend\u201d ends , with elena watching the horizon , and lila being watched by elena . one girl is facing beyond the book ; the other is caught within its pages . elena greco , like the women who narrate ferrante\u2019s earlier novels , is a survivor ; like them , she has had to wrench her survival out of the drama of attachment and detachment . she feels a kind of survivor\u2019s guilt , as if she had robbed the promise of her riches from lila\u2019s treasury . a final irony is coiled in the novel\u2019s title , the biggest reversal , a shift in perspective that has taken a whole novel to effect . before the wedding , when elena is helping lila with her wedding dress , the two girls briefly discuss elena\u2019s continued schooling . lila urges elena to keep on studying ; if necessary she\u2014soon to be a comfortably married woman\u2014will pay for it . \u201cthanks , but at a certain point school is over , \u201d elena says with a nervous , doubtless self - deprecating laugh . \u201cnot for you , \u201d lila replies ardently , \u201cyou\u2019re my brilliant friend , you have to be the best of all , boys and girls . \u201d \u2666\nanother challenging for the most beautiful woman on earth song hye -

watch , i say ! !\nwhy would anyone want to read my brilliant career now , over a hundred years later , and what seems like more than a hundred years removed from the world it creates ? the answer : closeness and distance , which is to say most readers will immediately recognise sybylla\u2019s experience while at the same time realising that it is also very much of another time . sybylla\u2019s frustration is familiar to every person who has grown up in a family . she rages at her lot in life and experiences intense disappointment in her parents , in particular her alcoholic father\u2019s irresponsibility and her mother\u2019s complete failure to comprehend her desire for a wider and different life . such feelings are immediately familiar to most of us . on the other hand , the context is now extremely unfamiliar . the world of the novel is far removed from the modern , in time and space . contemporary teenagers stuck in the country now , however remote , have more access to the world than sybylla could hope to have . if phone reception is bad , and internet slower , this does not compare to the boredom and isolation of reading through all the books the neighbourhood has to offer , or being stuck living with people who do not believe you can be paid for singing , and may not know the name of the prime minister . this must seem like another world , not just another century to many readers .\nthe reason the novel is in print , and you are reading it now , has a lot to do with its adoption in the late 1970s by the feminist movement of that period . feminist critics , scholars and writers of this period were interested in the female author using a male name , the feisty heroine , the complex exploration of gender roles and restrictions in australia at the turn of the century , and perhaps also the complicated representation of popular genres . my brilliant career was a part of the 1890s nationalist movement , but ( as with most of the writers so categorised ) its representations of environment , like its representations of gender and of nation , are not simple .\nmy brilliant career can be read as a kind of response to the story , or writing , of the \u2018grandmother\u2019 , or at least the sort of romance plot represented by the grandmother \u2013 australian ( and perhaps british ) women romance writers such as ada cambridge . when sybylla\u2019s grandmother writes to her and \u2018 [ k ] nowing [ her ] circumstances\u2019 enclosed \u2018a stamp to enable her to reply\u2019 sybylla uses these stamps not to facilitate the appropriate and expected narrative return to her grandmother , but to mail \u2018a prodigious novel in point of length and detail\u2019 to a sydney publisher , from whom it receives a polite refusal ( p . 29 ) . she is not daunted by this rejection , but tries another .\ni adore song hye - gyo in this movie , probably my favorite role of hers ! also , kang dong - won is unrecognizable in terms of character ! i\u2019m so used to seeing him all ready to kick butt , but he\u2019s so adorkable and funny in this one .\ni look forward to seeing more of jo sung - mok , who is so awesome as ah - reum . i had my mind blown when i saw him without the old man face ! it\u2019s so hard to believe that he\u2019s just a kid . so so so amazing .\npart of the secret to the popularity of the novel , at both its republication in the 1960s and its renaissance from the late 1980s , was not that it rejected romance outright , but that it offered both romance and anti - romance , or perhaps was balanced unnervingly between the two . the named reading preferences of the heroine hint that this is the case . my brilliant career explores the language , forms and thrills of both love romance and bush romance , and simultaneously parodies , rejects and critiques them . the readers it appealed to through identification as readers , in its own time and later , might seem an odd mix of partakers of romance alongside enthusiasts for australian bush adventure \u2013 trilby and an australian bush track ."]}

abaya at the asia pacific film institute . that\u2019s when my passion for watching movies turned into making them . it was a great experience because i was able to meet weird kids , just like me , that have the same interest in films .\nthe possibilities of life - both good and evil - were what huxley explored in much of his writing . in island , his utopia has\nno established church and our religion stresses immediate experience and deplores belief in unverifiable dogmas and the emotions which inspire that belief . so we ' re preserved from the plagues of popery , on the one hand , and fundamentalist revivalism on the other .\nhe was also interested in the mind -

also the sense of the world ' s fundamental all - rightness in spite of pain , death and bereavement .\nso is it island or brave new world , as the writer and teacher ram dass ( formerly richard alpert ) asked in a symposium to celebrate huxley ' s centennial in 1994 . a free -

grained drama with overtones of greek tragedy , whose subtlety contrasts with the imposing physicality of the characters and their propensity for raw violence , rage and deceit .\nthe island dwelling is also frequently a cipher for the idea of conspiracy . the protagonist is isolated and alone in an unfamiliar milieu in which the hosts are often outwardly hospitable but with a hostility in reserve \u2013 an unwillingness to open up and , almost certainly , with a terrible secret to conceal . the unsettling setting of summerisle in the wicker man ( 1973 ) is the fullest exposition of this idea .\nhoop dreams\nis , on one level , a documentary about two african - american kids named william gates and arthur agee , from chicago ' s inner city , who are gifted basketball players and dream of someday starring in the nba . on another level , it is about much larger subjects : about ambition , competition , race and class in our society . about our value structures . and about the daily lives of people like the agee and gates families , who are usually invisible in the mass media , but have a determination and resiliency that is a cause for hope .\nagain there are many echoes of the way in which children are seen as a shared responsibility in island . the pilot projects , run both in the us and the uk - in greenwich - have been successful , says laura huxley , and her claims are backed up by many who have worked on the projects ; teenage pregnancy rates for those who have been on the programmes are a tiny percentage of the average .\nthere is , of course , no single island dwelling \u2013 but there is a taxonomy of types . maybe the one that pops into the mind first is the villain\u2019s lair . the bond franchise has made an enjoyable clich\u00e9 of this . it is there in the thunderbirds tv series too , arguably done even better , but it is bond that became the archetype and the best example is in dr no ( 1962 ) .\na movie ' s finished product can often belie the insane struggle it took to make it ; even hollywood ' s worst offerings sometimes end up looking far better than they should . here are 12 stories behind famous film productions where everything went wrong and nothing felt right .\nthe film adaptation of max brooks ' best - selling novel world war z initially had a december 2012 release date , but it was later pushed to summer 2013 when production woes and delays plagued the project . with less than three weeks left in production , damon lindelof and drew goddard were brought in to re - write its third act and ending .\nthe script needed months of work , not days ,\na studio source told vulture in 2012 .\nand changes were needed throughout the film , not just at the end .\na similarly slick modernism appears in david fincher\u2019s us version of the girl with the dragon tattoo ( 2011 ) as the hedeby house of the film\u2019s villain , martin vanger . the house used is actually the villa \u00f6verby designed by john robert nilsson , an exquisite swedish summer house and location scout\u2019s dream .\nit was his last novel , published just before he died in november 1963 on the same day as president kennedy . huxley ' s death was made remarkable because of his decision to take lsd as he departed . now huxley ' s days in california are recalled in a new book and given a special echo by the 25th anniversary of an organisation founded by his widow , laura , who is still energetically putting into practice some of the utopian principles articulated in island .\nthe building here presents a departure from the usual island archetypes ; the colonial , the sci - fi subterranean and the fearsome prison . instead , here is an exquisite modern house , coolly detailed in high - end contemporary materials \u2013 japanese - style concrete , floor - to - ceiling windows and flowing spaces . it is presented in contrast to mcgregor\u2019s own untidy bachelor pad , but of course , in the movies this kind of opulence and apparent transparency can only mean surveillance and paranoia .\nyoung filmmaker gino m . santos thought he wasn\u2019t ready to make a full - length project , but having gone to kyoto , japan for his film workshops and being taken under the wings of applauded directors marilou diaz - abaya and brillante mendoza , gino has become a dark horse readily proving that age is just a number .\nwhile it ' s unclear if kevin reynolds walked off the project or if he was fired , kevin costner had to finish the film with only two weeks left in production . in the end , critics panned waterworld and it became one of the biggest box office bombs in history when it was released during the summer of 1995 .\nalthough apocalypse now was slated for a may 1978 release date , it was pushed to august 1979 because of continuing delays during post - production . since coppola had a tough time shooting the film , he was unable to adequately capture jungle and military sound effects , so a majority of its sound had to be re - recorded .\nthe people at st . joseph ' s high school are not pleased with the way they appear in the film , and have filed suit , saying among other things that they were told the film would be a non - profit project to be aired on pbs , not a commercial venture . the filmmakers respond that they , too , thought it would - that the amazing response which has found it a theatrical release is a surprise to them . the movie simply turned out to be a masterpiece , and its intended non - commercial slot was not big enough to hold it . the st . joseph suit reveals understandable sensitivity , because not all of the st .\narchera is 90 now but still trim and active . born in italy , she was a concert violinist who moved to the us as a child , performing at carnegie hall in her teens . she changed careers and became a film editor . in the 1950s she had wanted to make a film about the palio , the annual horse race run through the streets of siena in italy . the director john huston told her that if she was able to persuade aldous huxley - who had been in italy and now lived in the desert outside la - to write the screenplay , he might be able to get it financed . she wrote to solicit the british author ' s help .\nalong with our amazing locations we are working with great directors , crew technicians , sound engineers and composers . some of the most talented set and costume designers , and of course who could forget our unbelievable cast . out of sheer goodwill , some of the best local musicians and artists have volunteered to contribute their skills in both art design and the score . we will be creating not only a film that recognizes the beauty of miami , but a full creative project that will allow us to showcase the real talent that miami has to offer . we really want to make this film be a full representation of the artistic potential in miami , so we aren ' t holding any favors back !\nfive tickets for the price of four . can be used during the main riiff in august ; the annual rl lnternational horror festival in october , plus any special year -

lobos .\nthe huxleys had taken lsd together while listening to bach ' s fourth brandenburg concerto - as does the main character in island - and experiencing\naesthetic revelations\n. but laura huxley is anxious to put her late husband ' s relation ship with lsd into context , saying that between 1953 and 1963 he took it only around 10 or 12 times , the sort of dosage which some people have taken in a single week . his experiences are described in the doors of perception in 1953 . one of their friends of the period was timothy leary , forever associated with lsd .\nwhen it comes to obstacles , there are a few . our primary challenge will be working with the weather here in miami . most of our film will be shot outdoors , being a miami local i know how unpredictable it can be planning shoot days with constant changes in the weather , sometimes it rains , sometimes its cloudy , and we want to keep continuity as best as possible .\nstar jason robards left the film due to dysentery and his role had to be re - cast with klaus kinski , who didn ' t get along with herzog during filming . a famous rumor has it that one of the extras offered to kill kinski for herzog because he was so difficult to work with , but the director declined the offer because he needed him to finish the picture .\nalthough many artists have emigrated from cuba to live and work abroad , adi\u00f3s utopia focuses on the untold narrative of those artists who remained in cuba or whose careers took off after fidel castro\u2019s 1959 revolution . through a selection of pivotal artworks\u2014created in each of six decades since 1950\u2014the exhibition explores cuba\u2019s artistic production through the lens of utopia , both its construction and its deconstruction . adi\u00f3s utopia introduces u . s . audiences to key events in cuban history and explores how this history affected individual artists , shaped the character of art produced on the island , and conditioned the reception of cuban art both in cuba and abroad .\nishtar is known as one of the biggest fiascos in filmmaking history . warren beatty produced the movie for elaine may as a favor for taking an uncredited screenwriting role on his academy award - winning film reds in 1981 . beatty believed that ishtar would raise elaine may ' s reputation as a top - notch filmmaker in hollywood , but , in reality , it ended her career as a director .\ndreamlands : immersive cinema and art , 1905\u20132016 focuses on the ways in which artists have dismantled and reassembled the conventions of cinema\u2014screen , projection , darkness\u2014to create new experiences of the moving image . the exhibition will fill the museum\u2019s 18 , 000 - square - foot fifth - floor neil bluhm family galleries , and will include a film series in the third - floor susan and john hess family theater .\nthe exhibition will be the most technologically complex project mounted in the whitney\u2019s new building to date , embracing a wide range of moving image techniques , from hand - painted film to the latest digital technologies . the works on view use color , touch , music , spectacle , light , and darkness to confound expectations , flattening space through animation and abstraction , or heightening the illusion of three dimensions .\nbut the film is not only , or mostly , about such issues . it is about the ebb and flow of life over several years , as the careers of the two boys go through changes so amazing that , if this were fiction , we would say it was unbelievable . the filmmakers ( steve james , frederick marx and peter gilbert ) shot miles of film , 250 hours in all , and that means they were there for several of the dramatic turning - points in the lives of the two young men . for both , there are reversals of fortune - life seems bleak , and then is redeemed by hope and sometimes even triumph . i was caught up in their destinies as i rarely am in a fiction thriller , because real life can be a cliff -

indulgence . the abuses that flow off the vile tongues of these bizarre people , for instance , are initially believable . as time moves on though , too many ugly words feel like they have been forced into the dialogues for effect \u2013 as it happens , to jarring effect .\nsaat uchakkey ropes in music director abhishek ray of paan singh tomar and welcome back fame for its soundtrack . well , in all fairness the soundtrack is well - composed even if the chaos on screen quite takes away any interest the soundtrack may generate . the songs of the movie were released by t - series and form quite a nice medley . in keeping with the setting , expect anything between an item number and a classical melody .\nsaat uchakkey is a new upcoming movie which is based on comedy and drama story . this movie will released on 14th october 2016 in india . this movie is written and directed by sanjeev sharma . raju chadha is the producer of this movie which is one of the famous producer in bollywood . this movie will be very famous in bollywood because it is coming with very comedy and interesting story and very talented actor have playing a great a role .\nthe spoken lines ( credited to director sharma ) are a metaphor for saat uchakkey as a whole : energetic , side - splittingly comedic and convincing at first , revved up and raring to go , but failing to lift off in its entirety . i confess i spent a considerable part of this film giggling to myself and enjoying the performances of the wonderful lead cast ( each one them ) , but i also left the theatre with a feeling of incompleteness .\nsaat uchakkey revolves around the amoral pappi\u2019s keenness to get rich quick and marry his girlfriend sona ( aditi sharma ) . he is not alone in his desire to cut corners in life . his partners in crime are keysmith haggu ( nitin bhasin ) , metalsmith khappe ( aparshakti khurana ) , knick - knacks seller babbe ( jatin sarna ) , a gambler called ajji ( vipul vig ) and the multi - talented petty criminal jaggi ( vijay raaz ) . they are the seven rogues of the title .\ngod who may be mad , an anupam kher who lives in a haveli a muslim woman claims is hers , and a kalawati who exists only in dreams . there is more going on in sanjeev sharmas saat uchakkey than meets the eyes and , yes despite the censors objections the ears . sift through the abuses , those that have survived 90 cuts and a three -

known names such as manoj bajpayee , anupam kher , annu kapoor , and kay kay menon , deliver us exactly what was promised . a light comedy with more than generous use of expletives . director sanjeev sharma\u2019s directorial debut is meant to give us a fun two hours in the theatres , but the fact that the movie took over three years and over 90 snips from the censor board\u2019s scissor must warn you .\nbajpayee\u2019s defining quality as an actor \u2013 the ability to lose himself in the people he plays \u2013 is the highlight of the week\u2019s bollywood release , saat uchakkey . like pappi , director sanjeev sharma\u2019s film too is cracked , colourful , crude , intentionally loud and insanely over the top . everyone in the story is slightly if not completely nuts , the actors are so unaffected that they come across as non - actors drawn from these streets by casting director vicky sidavv , and the filmmaker seems to be having a blast as he takes us through chaotic and crowded purani dilli .\ndespite an ensemble of strong performers , saat uchakkey comes across as chaotic , crazy and crass . sanjeev sharma\u2019s endeavour to achieve a slightly offbeat comedy of errors style flick falls flat . except for the authenticity of the settings ( the tapering bylanes of old delhi ) and the fact that there exist people who lavish their language with swear words , nothing much seems realistic about the movie . sharma has allowed the movie to run beyond endurance . so much so that one starts to wonder what kept up the 3 year long battle between the producers and the central board of film certification ( cbfc ) .\nsaat uchakkey takes a while to get used to . we start off at a psychiatric ward with a cryptic character called bichhi ( annu kapoor ) who , i quickly rationalised for myself , is some kind of a fraud / hypnotist holding people in thrall with his mumbo jumbo . he calls himself god and it\u2019s all very complicated . but then let it rest . moving on from here , everyone in the institution , including the doctor , turns out to be insane and loud . after a while , as more and more characters start getting introduced , you begin chuckling at the all - pervasive lunacy and start tuning in to the raucous tone . but only for a bit . as it happens with most of our films , things fall apart rather rapidly because of the lack of a good spine called the script .\nayushmann\u2019s brother aparshakti khuranna and aditi sharma will also be seen in the movie . sharma was last seen in ladies vs riicky bahl ( 2011 ) .\nthe two - and - a - half - minute trailer is crass and chaotic but vijay raaz , manoj bajpayee , kay kay and jatin sarna keep us hooked . while some of the trailer is funny , the entire package does not quite sustain the laughs . however , given the diverse cast of the movie , we hope the film will be better than the trailer .\nthe film revolves around seven thieves and their robbery plan . manoj bajpayee will be seen in the movie in a comic avatar after his serious roles in aligarh and traffic . kay kay menon will be seen as a cop in the movie according to the reports , the filmmakers had faced some problems with censor board but problem got resolved soon . perhaps so many abuses aka \u2018gaalis\u2019 in the movie would have been the problem to censor board . well ! the movie is all set to release on october 14 this year . check out the trailer here :\nfor movies news follow us on facebook , twitter , google + and for news updates download our news app .\ntop news : team india sets record after registering 1st t20 series . . .\nabp news uses cookie on this website to ensure a better user experience , beautiful functionalities and to measure visitor behavior in order to improve the content .\nby continuing to use this website , you agree to the use of these cookies .\ntrailer of the movie was recently released online and it has now created quite a buzz on the internet . the chemistry between manoj bajpayee and kay kay menon will definitely leave you intrigued in this video .\n\u00a9 1998 -

the - top : the film even makes you lose patience with the performances of its strong cast . \u2014photo : special arrangement\nwith its raw lingo and dirty talk , the film is deliberately politically incorrect and inappropriate , obviously aiming to be disconcerting . the foul - mouthed characters , their relationships , friendships , and banter seem real to start with . where the film loses out on is the meandering , pointless , stretched - out plot and an exhausting , weird finale . the foul - mouthed repartee starts off rather matter of factly , veers a bit towards intentional irreverence , but soon becomes all for the heck of it , a bad case of exhibitionism . for instance , pappi referring to sona as kutiya ( bitch ) may seem affectionate and endearing to start with , but soon becomes too hammered in , insufferable and offensive . the film even makes you lose patience with its strong cast , as they go way too over the top .\nrenuka vyavahare , tnn , updated : oct 19 , 2016 , 12 . 49 pm ist\nstory : seven petty crooks come together to find a hidden gold treasure buried in a purani haweli in delhi . the gang even manages to locate the monies but their conscience comes calling .\nreview : it is disheartening to see talented actors like manoj bajpayee and kay kay menon succumbing to playing lousy characters in a loud and absurd film that pretends to be funny . barring the authentic setting ( narrow bylanes of old delhi ) , nothing really works in the film\u2019s favour . bajpayee\u2019s haircut is as hideous as the film\u2019s dialogues . every line is either meaningless or laced with the choicest of cuss words and it all seems uncalled for . ( read \u201cnever let his wonder steal your thunder , \u201d etc ) every character wants to shove something or the other into somebody\u2019s backside . characters are called pappi , jaggi , bichchi and haggu ! yes , you heard the last one right .\nwhat makes it further intolerable is the fact that the movie is full of incessant rambling with no concrete story or purpose per se . you wait patiently for things to move ahead at least in the second half but that never happens . the characters keep yacking and yacking and yacking , making the film seem like it lasted for seven hours instead of two . eventually , you stop stressing your mind and stop figuring out what could have possibly been the reason for this film\u2019s existence .\nvijay raaz and kay kay menon still manage to stand out with their comic timing . anupam kher plays an insignificant cameo and anu kapoor\u2019s confusing character is open to individual interpretation . bajpayee\u2019s misogynist character turns out to be one of his most terrible roles . he calls his girlfriend ( aditi sharma ) \u2018kutiya\u2019 and often gets physical with her because he truly loves her ! she enjoys his lecherous advances too .\nwe have no clue what was the director\u2019s vision behind this film but his execution has gone awfully wrong . please skip it , unless you want to subject yourself to some mental torture .\nrefrain from posting comments that are obscene , defamatory or inflammatory , and do not indulge in personal attacks , name calling or inciting hatred against any community . help us delete comments that do not follow these guidelines by marking them offensive . let ' s work together to keep the conversation civil .\netimes is an entertainment , tv & lifestyle industry ' s promotional website and carries advertorials and native advertising .\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved .\nshah rukh khan and anubhav sinha keen to make ' ra . one ' sequel ?\nthe gang manages to sneak into the mansion and even spot the gold treasure . however , bichchi appears there miraculously and poses as god . he hypnotises the thieves and makes them conscious of their wrongdoings . they all have a change of heart . tejpal surrenders the treasure to the police station . pappi marries sona .\nwe have sent you a verification email . to verify , just follow the link in the message\nhowever , it\u2019s not the old delhi of just pigeon contests , closely knit houses and kite - flying , with red fort and jama masjid alternatively peeping over the horizon . sharma\u2019s old delhi is rather about the old ghosts and new dreams which co - exist here so organically , one feeding off the other , one fuelling the other . it\u2019s about men who make a living \u201cmaking antique idols\u201d , or keys for \u201c90 - year - old iron locks\u201d ; the men who hawk wooden snakes alternatively as \u201cengineering craft\u201d or \u201csexual toy\u201d to hassled but polite foreigners ; the lawyers who fix cases through skinny , knife - wielding boys barely standing upright ; and cops who must find order amidst this all . it\u2019s also about the women who find their way through this , giving back as good as they get .\nthere are few ways out of this maze of narrow lanes , kachauris , card games , and hand - to - mouth survival . and one of the first offered to pappi ( manoj bajpayee ) and company is a blithe deal : \u201cbijli churani hai\u201d , they are told over roadside tea . the second is more esoteric , in the form of a lunatic , bichchi ( annu kapoor ) , of mythical reputation . in bichchi\u2019s mutterings , pappi sees the promise of a hidden treasure in that contested haveli of the diwan ( anupam kher ) .\nwhere gods co - exist snugly with \u201citem numbers\u201d organised for purnima , day begins with a flower - seller setting shop for kaali puja , a dacoity must take into account the neighbourhood mosque , mourners break into a dance , and havelis come with mughal lineage , nothing is impossible .\nmanoj bajpayee as pappi ; aditi sharma as pappi\u2019s resourceful love and the neighbourhood heartthrob sona ; vijay raaz as jaggi , the lawyer with a waistcoat , a ponytail , and that undulating henchman ; and kay kay menon as daroga tejpal keeping the order while nursing a secret love for sona , are all excellent . annu kapoor as the narrator / god can\u2019t help his dramatics , but anupam kher is just over - the - top .\nsadly though , director sharma ( who has worked earlier in peepli live , raghu romeo ) lets the film drag to an exhausted and stretched ending . a film with such a sure touch didn\u2019t need this heavy hand .\nthere is a moment in the short film taandav that went viral on youtube early this year , in which a policeman watches a video of himself doing a frenzied dance in full uniform on a mumbai road . his face melts into a confused mix of amusement and embarrassment . manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in that middle - class , middle - aged maharashtrian cop .\nin aligarh , which was released three weeks later , when a reporter asks professor shrinivas ramchandra siras of aligarh muslim university about his male lover , the old man looks away shyly , withdrawing further into his slouching figure . manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in that gray - haired academic in an ill - fitting suit .\nand now , on a moonlit night in the darkened corridor of an old delhi haveli , a shalwar - clad pappi stands with his foot on a balcony railing as he peers into the courtyard below . he is an intruder in a wealthy home , his thin body alert yet comically poised for flight , and in one brief shot he conveys everything that his character is : all bluff and bluster and limited guts . manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in this foul - mouthed small - time crook either .\nin the first half , sandeep saket\u2019s screenplay draws neat , well - defined sketches of each of the seven in addition to their b\u00eate noir , the local policeman tejpal ( kay kay menon ) who is smitten by sona . when this disparate group comes together , they are hilarious and hold out a promise of brilliance . when john jacob payyapalli\u2019s camera snakes its way through the bylanes of the old city , it entices us into their world .\nthe opening scenes in a mental institution , the presence in the story of the hypnotist / fraud / mad man bichchi ( annu kapoor ) , the art design and the beautifully shot scenes in a dungeon in the second half give the film an interesting mystical - mythical air .\nnothing illustrates this better than pappi\u2019s use of kutiya ( bitch ) as a term of endearment for sona and her unblinking response . yes , the street lingo of india\u2019s capital is often steeped in profanity , but it becomes easy to tell when abuse comes naturally to a character in this film and when the writing is saying , \u201chey , see how clever i am . be impressed with my use of invective . i\u2019m so smart and outrageous , no ? \u201d\ngod is as crazy as us humans and / or possibly a figment of our imagination ; s / he is what we want her / him to be and / or is playing games with us , we are told . point taken . now take it further , please . this is a film that could have been a lot more than it ends up being \u2013 it obviously wants to be more .\nwhat if ocean\u2019s eleven was set in the narrow lanes of old delhi ? what if , instead of the suave , sophisticated danny ocean and rusty ryan , you had good - for - nothing dilli laundas in charge of a heist ? the sort who while away their days doing odd jobs or not very much at all , try to hit on neighbourhood girls , crack lewd jokes , and swear twice per sentence .\n\u201c maa ki gaali mat dena b * * * * * * * d , \u201d says gang - leader apparent pappi ( manoj bajpayee ) . and just that one line could very well define the movie . it\u2019s crass , yes . but given the setting and the characters , it\u2019s not incredible . and you can\u2019t deny that it is funny .\nbut debut director sanjeev sharma wraps it in a rather disconnected , and unnecessary , tale replete with spiritual mumbo - jumbo . the two stories are so jarringly incongruent , it\u2019s like watching characters ( just one character , in this case ) from one film ran amok through another , appearing in random scenes , as if they\u2019d wandered on to the wrong studio floor .\nunfortunately , it is this peripheral story that opens the film . shot through a jazbaa - ish green filter , you meet bichchi ( annu kapoor ) in a mental asylum . he\u2019s some sort of a legend , who can make people do his bidding , and he escapes after hypnotising one of the doctors . for the rest of the film , his job is to appear unexpectedly , ham , and deliver soliloquies perhaps meant to be absurd . he does achieve absurd . just not good absurd .\nmeanwhile , our intrepid heroes are putting together a team , like any good heist film . but instead of experts , they must make do with shady friends , and shadier acquaintances : the local locksmith , a crook who hangs about courts trying to rig petty cases , a tourist guide at red fort who sells tourists cheap wares as exotic . they have fitting names too , all pet names , presumably : pappi , jaggi ( vijay raaz ) , sona ( aditi sharma ) , khappe , babbe\u2026 you get the drift . given the ambition of their plan , they aren\u2019t being chased by the police force , but just the honest local cop , tejpal ( kay kay menon ) .\nit\u2019s a solid cast . the sort that\u2019d hold fort in any damn film . they\u2019re nuanced when needed , crass and loud and swearing their mouths off for the most part because that\u2019s what has been asked for .\nin its character portrayal , in capturing old delhi , in its cheap , but real , humour , is the film\u2019s high point .\nbut it is wasted in a story that is too long , and that runs out of ideas during the actual heist . it devolves into a priyadarshan - ish comic climax , and uncalled - for divine intervention .\nin the end , it has flavour , a seed of a good idea even , something mega - budget films often lack . but like our dilli laundas eleven , it lacks planning and execution .\nthe story follows seven no - hopers who become part of a slipshod plan to pull off a robbery , a get - rich - quick scheme of pappi jaatwala ( manoj bajpayee ) . however , the film opens in a mental care facility where a newly recruited doctor is fascinated by a dangerous inmate called bichchi ( annu kapoor ) , who\u2019s rumoured to have mysterious powers . bichchi escapes and is next seen several scenes later , in the narrow lanes of old delhi , weaving his magic on these clueless robbers , and pappi in particular .\npappi and his magnificent men and one woman embark on an \u201c indiana jones and the temple of doom meets the mummy in inner delhi\u201d kind of hunt , to find a treasure hidden within a disputed haveli in the neighborhood . the team includes pappi\u2019s paramour sona ( aditi sharma ) , jaggi ( raaz ) , haggu ( nitin bhasin ) , khappe ( aparshakti khurana ) , babbe tashni ( jatin sarna ) and phodu ( vipul vig ) . always a step behind is the local cop , tejpal ( kay kay menon ) , who happens to hold a candle for sona . kher plays the slightly cuckoo owner of the controversial haveli .\ndo the far - from - magnificent seven pull off the heist ? let\u2019s save the spoilers . suffice to say , the climax does come with a twist but it\u2019s wholly unsatisfying and a tad convenient . the one highlight is the way the actors embrace these characters , banter easily and show relish for those expletive - heavy lines .\ngood actors , a homely \u2018purani dilli\u2019 feel , music that complements the movie \u2013 all good but the completely whacked out story starts to quickly go sour , while the screenplay and presentation are downright ugly .\nan indian . born a princess , now a storyteller . a conversationalist . an empath . a woman with strong opinions .\n3d movie review : hanuman vs mahiravana : good voice cast , but mediocre screen effects .\neu gdpr update : mapsofindia has updated its terms and privacy policy to give users more transparency into the data this website collects , how it is processed and the controls users have on their personal data . users are requested to review the revised privacy policy before using the website services , as any further use of the website will be considered as user ' s consent to mapsofindia privacy policy and terms .\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 .\na movie ' s shooting in old delhi gave veteran actor anupam kher the chance to gorge on local delights like mughlai food and jalebi .\nactor anupam kher is delighted about performing the play\nkuch bhi ho sakta hai\nfor the 300th time and dedicates it to his late father pushkar nath kher .\nmegastar amitabh bachchan is elated with the fact that the music of his debut hollywood project\nthe great gatsby\nhas topped the music charts .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nit looks like we don ' t have any akas for this title yet .\nbe the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the akas submission guide .\ndebutant director sanjeev sharma captures with joy and relish , the chaos of the acquisitive class in the narrow ancient gullis of old delhi where criminal aspirations fester .\nacclaimed filmmaker benegal had reccomened that there should be two categories of u / a , one plus 12 years of age and one plus 15 years of age and two categories of adult -

hectare studio , located about 30 kilometres from the centre of cape town , is majority - owned by two south african companies with close connections to the local television and film industries , including a company headed by anant singh , producer of the film version of nelson mandela\u2019s memoirs , long walk to freedom \u2013 one of the early films shot here . the western cape provincial government owns a further 10 per cent .\nwheeler was among six officials in iowa fired or forced to quit over allegations they mismanaged the film tax credit program , which was suspended in 2009 . wheeler was arraigned tuesday and pleaded not guilty to the charges .\nthe iowa debacle goes well beyond that of a bribery scandal in louisiana in which a former top film office official was given a two - year prison sentence in 2009 for steering tax credits to a local producer .\ndevelopment of the studio had been foundering for several years before the 2008 arrival of dekker , who had long experience in converting warehouses into film - production sites . \u201cnobody believed in it , \u201d he recalls . \u201cthe negative feeling was so overwhelming . the local film industry said it can\u2019t work , it\u2019s crazy , it\u2019s insane , it will go down in two years . but i believed in it . and everybody\u2019s starting to take it seriously now . \u201d\ni know i said i was taking a full week off , but i can never pass up a movie that was filmed 30 miles from where i live . i had been waiting for peacock to hit theaters , and it really just never happened . i think most of that is due to it pretty much just going straight to dvd . i think this is probably one of the best straight to dvd movies i have ever seen .\n\u2018s gender - bending premise suggests all kinds of weird possibilities , the film\u2019s execution doesn\u2019t capitalize on any of them , and the final product is a muddled , small - town drama with only the occasional hint of slight weirdness .\nfull financial estimates for this film , including domestic and international box office , video sales , video rentals , tv and ancillary revenue are available through our research services . for more information , please contact us at research @ urltoken .\nnow , because being surprised made me enjoy it more than i otherwise would have , i really don\u2019t want to give away the twist on this side of the jump . so i\u2019ll just say that peacock is about a deeply disturbed 1950s bank teller named john skillpa ( cillian murphy ) with a secret lady friend who , as the film goes on , becomes less and less satisfied with staying secret . i recommend that you go out and rent it without knowing anything more specific ; seriously , don\u2019t even read the synopsis on the back of the case\u2026it\u2019ll be a lot more fun that way . not interested ? then hit the jump for the necessarily spoiler - heavy review .\nha ( 8 years ago ) reply i love the irony in your rambling sentence , here :\nthat ' s also fine , i tend to like it when directors leave something for the audience to figure out but when you do so , you also have to provide enough information so that the audience can figure the mystery out for themselves and peacock never does that , choosing instead to ramble on uselessly until it finally cant ramble on anymore .\naddicted to movies , a nerd who enjoys sports as well , author every once in a while . if anyone would like to read something i ' ve written , just ask . i must say , i do owe most of my love for horror to joe bob briggs and tnt monster vision . man i miss that show ! i used to work for cohesion productions , and got to film a few movies and shorts , so i guess sometimes i ' m a filmmaker . i ' d like to do more , but don ' t really have the time right now . if anyone would like me to review their film ( s ) , please feel free to let me know . i feel that with my experience in film , and watching film , i can give a strong review . thanks for visiting my blog . hope you enjoy ! if you have any questions or comments , you can contact me at deadenddrive - in @ urltoken\nsouth african government support , including a program of 20 per cent rebates , has been crucial in attracting film projects from hollywood and elsewhere . south africa\u2019s weak currency , which has devalued drastically in the past two years , is another advantage .\nwalter said his idea to create urltoken as a joint venture with the film industry\u2019s cinelease in existing facilities at mare island a year ago appears to have been a fortuitous proposition \u2014 given the auspicious tax credit program climate , combined with the proximity to iconic bay area filming locations . within 48 hours of opening film mare island , paramount had committed to lease the studio for its first season of \u201c13 reasons why\u201d \u2014 a project that has become one of netflix\u2019s most popular shows , he said .\nprime minister john key announced the agreement at a news conference late wednesday in wellington , after a week in which thousands of film workers had taken to the streets in support of efforts to save the movies after a labor dispute had stalled production .\nfor many in new zealand , however , the fight to retain the latest productions by mr . jackson , who is widely credited with revamping the country\u2019s film industry , involves economic survival . roughly $ 500 million in spending hangs in the balance .\nit comes as several cash - strapped states are scaling back their film incentive programs , which have been instrumental in luring production away from california . however , it ' s too early to say whether this retrenchment will keep more filming in california .\nif you don ' t have the checks and balances , film programs can get in trouble , and that ' s what happened in iowa ,\nsaid peter dekom , an entertainment industry attorney who helped craft new mexico ' s program .\nnew zealand\u2019s feisty film workers have taken to the streets this week to try to keep peter jackson\u2019s production of \u201cthe hobbit\u201d in their country , nudging the prime minister , john key , toward a tuesday summit meeting with a visiting contingent of warner brothers executives .\nas of tuesday afternoon in wellington \u2014 the new zealand capital and the center of a growing movie industry sometimes called wellywood \u2014 the matter was unsettled . but it was clear that mr . jackson\u2019s furry little film creatures were not going anywhere without a fight .\nit ' s clear from the get go that there ' s a mystery to john and lander tries to stretch that mystery as far as he can but in the end , it ' s simply not enough to keep the story going for 90 minutes and so the film stretches to include other side characters , none of which are particularly interesting or important . the film also draws out john ' s gradual \u00e2\u20ac\u0153death\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as emma becomes the dominant personality but there doesn ' t seem to be any motivational pull to emma ' s actions and it ' s never clear why she does what she does . it doesn ' t help that the film continually hints as to why emma developed in the first place but other than a sentence about john \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meeting\u00e2\u20ac\u009d emma on the day his mother died , the film never provides an answer . that ' s also fine , i tend to like it when directors leave something for the audience to figure out but when you do so , you also have to provide enough information so that the audience can figure the mystery out for themselves and\ngreat movie although it didn ' t go where i thought it was heading - there may not have been a better actor for this role than cillian murphy - as usual ellen page is an endorsement for any film & this indie role suits her to a tee - the rest of the cast is notable - the film contains stunning photography ( not of majestic mountains ) and images that appeared perfectly constructed for a very visual movie - well crafted script with many scenes where a single word delivers the next chapter of the storyline - highly recommended for the moviegoer who likes to be emotionally drained as well as entertained - almost from the start , this is an edgy film where it feels like something is just about to happen and there is little expectation of that something becoming anyone ' s successful pursuit of happiness .\nnearby , on the same film - production lot , are replicas of a sandy caribbean beach , a blood - soaked nairobi hospital , a historic american town , nelson mandela\u2019s prison cell and the futuristic set of a tent - pole movie based on a stephen king novel .\njohn skillpa , a quiet bank clerk living in tiny peacock , nebraska , prefers to live an invisible life . then , in a moment , everything changes . a train caboose runs off its tracks and crashes into john ' s backyard and destroys more than the weathered planks of his wood fence . when neighbors descend on the scene , they discover john ' s other personality , emma , for the first time and mistakenly believe her to be john ' s wife . this launches john into the glare of the spotlight and eventually shatters the delicate balance of his sanity .\nnow the studio is expanding again , having built another workshop and sound stage this year , and it remains solidly booked . the new sound stage was immediately grabbed for the film version of stephen king\u2019s dark tower series , starring matthew mcconaughey and idris elba . shooting on the first movie began in may .\nthough set in small - town nebraska , [ 2 ] peacock was filmed in iowa : filming began on may 6 , 2008 in odebolt , in sac county , while greenfield and adair county also staged production for several days , including scenes in greenfield ' s town square and its e . e . warren opera house . [ 9 ] [ 10 ] filming was scheduled to continue on june 5 , 2008 in boone , iowa , but due to weather conditions , cornfield productions was forced to delay filming until the following day ; the filming ended on june 9 . [ 9 ]\nthe audit said the film office allowed filmmakers to rely on estimates of production costs , rather than actual expenses , and to count out - of - state salaries toward the tax credits . the investigation also said producers set up shell companies with local addresses that actually purchased goods and services from out of state .\ndeutsch said he didn\u2019t know if the big - budget \u201cuntitled paramount project\u201d that is listed in 22 film projects approved for tax credits this year on the commission\u2019s website was the one being shot in marin . that project is listed as having a record $ 100 million - plus in expenditures that qualify for tax credits .\nnevertheless , one of the greatest contributions to this film is performance . cillian murphy ( no bias bros ) completely pulled off the two different skillpas , despite the stark contrast in personalities . his performance did convince me otherwise when implausible events occurred , and i ' m honestly not sure how many actors can actually do that .\ni enjoyed this film for what it was . it had a very hitchcock vibe , and cillian murphy did a great job . the movie built some suspense very well , and certainly had a creepy vibe throughout . however , it is one of those films that you wished went a different direction with its story . granted , the toil between the two personalities ( emma & john ) in one person was intriguing , but i couldn ' t help but feel like it would have been considerably better if it had a little more\nmeat\nto it . the acting , and intriguing character study , saved what ' s other - wise a mediocre film .\nwith a brilliant ensemble cast including susan sarandon , bill pullman , ellen page and josh lucas all on fine form the film contains a tour de force performance from cillian murphy who further cements his reputation as a great acting talent , completely convincingly bringing both john and emma to life and making them very separate and very believable human beings .\n\u201cno doubt if they\u2019ve got something to say , they\u2019ll say it , \u201d mr . english said . \u201cthe rough estimates of taxpayer support for this film are around 50 million to 60 million new zealand dollars \u2014 maybe more if they spend more , so it\u2019s pretty generous . \u201d that translates to $ 38 million to $ 45 million .\nhave you ever seen a direct to dvd movie and wonder why it never made it to theaters ? i watch these kinds of films all the time , some of them don ' t deserve a theatrical release others make me wonder why it didn ' t get one , especially when they have a great group of actor starring in the film .\n\u201clander\u2019s thriller wannabe is a confusing jumble of badly developed ideas which happen to be acted out by a talented group of actors who are squandered away in a film that is so concerned with creating a mystery that it overlooks the fact that it also needs to be a good movie . a sad waste of a great cast . \u201d\u2013marina antunes , quiet earth\nthe film , for the most part , is an intriguing , low - key little drama ( with thriller - ish elements toward the end ) that\u2019s bolstered by good performances and the novelty of the central twist . lander plots a story that , though sputtering toward the end , is never what you\u2019d call predictable and thereby is very engaging up to a certain point . furthermore , he crafts an effectively morose film world that really grounds a concept that , on the surface , sounds kind of silly . and kudos to him for a seamlessly pulled - off first - act fakeout\u2026the movie begins with murphy in drag as the mother , and i had no idea it was him until lander wanted me to .\nas he is in pretty much everything , he ' s great in this movie . not many actors can pull off the dual personality . especially not when the personalities are dual gendered . there ' s so much nuance to his performance . his hand movements , his posture , eye movements , vocal inflections . . . . he definitely carries the film .\nin a statement , mr . jackson said he was grateful to the government for introducing legislation and added , \u201ci feel enormous gratitude to the film technicians , actors and fans who came out in support of making these films in new zealand . to the thousands of people who took the time to write and let us know they were with us \u2014 thank you . \u201d\njohn then visits maggie at the shelter , agreeing to give her a ride to madison , as well as just over $ 1000 , his savings at the bank . emma offers maggie a job at the bank , in an attempt to keep maggie in peacock . john asks maggie to meet him at the local motel at 11pm that night to collect the money . emma seduces a man at the bar that night , and leads him to the motel room that john had arranged . she beats the man unconscious , lays him on the bed , and sets the motel on fire as maggie comes to meet john . emma , long gone , gets to feign the\ndeath\nof her\nhusband .\nan amazing and right on target review for this straight to dvd drama . i wish i had seen this review before i had seen the trailer . lionsgate released 2 trailers for this film . one of which makes it out to be a movie that leans more towards the horror genre than the suspense / thriller genre . very misleading and gets the movie to the wrong audience .\npeacock follows the story of john skillpa , a quiet bank clerk living in nebraska , who appears to have a perfectly ordinary life . however , john has a secret which is threatening to be discovered . suffering from multiple personality disorder , john disguises one half of his personality under the character of\nemma\n, a woman who cooks and cleans for him every morning . one day , a freight train derails and crashes into his garden , unleashing a whirlwind of events as john ' s alter ego is discovered and he must invent a story involving a secret marriage in order to maintain his secret . young , single mother , maggie holds the key to john ' s past , and sparks a battle between the two personalities as emma begins to take over john ' s life completely .\nsuggested a strange , somewhat creepy tale of john skillpa , a quiet man with a secret , a secret that the trailer gives away . but even with the big reveal thrown out so quickly , the trailer does something else : it suggests a film with mystery , intrigue and perhaps a little something sinister as if the fact that john is also emma is simply a passing fact of little consequence sadly , the truth about\nboocatbutterbee ( 2 years ago ) reply melanie , why do you have to express your disagreement in such a disagreeable way ? it diminishes your underlying point . the obnoxiousness is an unneeded distraction and makes me wonder about sadism . . . further , i do not believe the film was\nbrilliant\n. it wasn ' t well - enough written to be that good . even i am smart enough to recognize that fact .\nthe old \u201csplit - personality\u201d flick finally rears its head around me once again\u2026it\u2019s been quite some time since i\u2019ve gotten the pleasure of watching one and reviewing something such as this . granted , i\u2019ve sat through many a split - personality disorder movie in my day ; the most famously well - known of these of course would probably be sybil , which if memory serves won many well - deserved awards for sally field . the most lesser - known , of course , would probably have to be the michael keaton - starring multiplicity . or were those clones ? my memory fails me on that one , as it was so gawdawfully painful to sit through that i\u2019ve tried repeatedly for years to forget as much about it as humanly possible . peacock , though , is a bird of a much different and brightly - colored * snicker * feather .\nthe legislation is expected to require workers to designate their status as an employee or a freelance worker when beginning a project , then stick with it , according to one person who was briefed on the talks but spoke anonymously because the agreement was not complete . thus , anyone who contracted individually with producers of \u201cthe hobbit\u201d as a freelance worker at the beginning of the film could not change status later and claim the rights of a permanent employee .\nthe filming of the train derailment scene occurred at a local set of train tracks ; line producer brian bell explained that this particular shot was a\nvisual effects\nshot , where the train would eventually be digitally edited to appear as if it is passing through skillpa ' s backyard , even though it is not physically there . although the shooting took four hours to complete , it only comprises about 10 to 15 seconds of the film . [ 9 ]\nthe studio has garnered high praise from producers and performers . british actor stephen fry , after completing his role in a television adaptation of the borrowers here , tweeted that the cape town studio made britain\u2019s famed pinewood studios \u201clook v shabby . \u201d andrew macdonald , a producer of dredd , told time magazine that the cape town studio is one of very few in the world that can create a film looking like a $ 100 - million production for less than half of that cost .\njohn skillpa ( cillian murphy ) , a quiet bank clerk living alone in tiny peacock , nebraska , prefers to live an invisible life in order to hide his secret : he has dissociative identity disorder , the implied result of childhood trauma inflicted by his abusive mother . his alter ego is a woman , emma , who each morning does his chores and cooks him breakfast before he starts the day . one day while he is using the outside yard clothesline as emma , a freight train caboose derails and crashes into john ' s backyard . when his neighbors come to the scene ,\nemma\nenters his house , putting john ' s other life into the spotlight , so he is forced to tell his neighbors that emma is his wife , married in secrecy . forced to fool the town into believing he and his alter ego are man and wife , john and emma must maintain their secret while in public view .\nnew zealand\u2019s film industry received an enormous boost from the production of mr . jackson\u2019s \u201clord of the rings\u201d and \u201cking kong\u201d films , and has continued to be a center for special - effects work on other movies , including james cameron\u2019s \u201cavatar . \u201d the industry had revenue of 2 . 8 billion new zealand dollars in 2009 , or $ 2 . 1 billion \u2014 roughly 2 percent of the gross domestic product , according to statistics new zealand , an agency that monitors the country\u2019s economy .\nbut behind the agreement is a hard economic reality . hollywood has the upper hand in deciding where to film its big - budget extravaganzas , and there are many places willing to pay to attract filmmakers . and so the negotiations found executives of a giant american studio sitting across the table from the chief executive of a sovereign nation , population 4 . 4 million , wrangling over the fate of a pair of films and , with it , a not insignificant part of that nation\u2019s economy and public image .\nperhaps just as important , wednesday\u2019s agreement also calls for new zealand to increase its contribution to each film by $ 7 . 5 million , in addition to a standing government incentive that reimburses up to 15 percent of the spending in new zealand by a high - budget production like \u201cthe hobbit . \u201d in a further twist , mr . key told reporters , in a commitment to time warner and its global media group , new zealand would contribute $ 10 million to a marketing campaign that would tie the films to tourism in the country .\nas the film opens , the protagonist and his lady friend are caught up in a routine that sees her existing solely to meet his needs : making him meals , getting him off to work , doing his laundry . she doesn\u2019t even leave the house . as we find out early on , john suffered immensely at the hands of his mother , who left him emotionally crippled and barely able to function in the real world . however , he was so dependent upon her that after she died , he had to find a replacement . and so he did\u2026in the form of a split personality .\ntries hard to rise above the bare bones story concept but the acting and great score ( brian reitzell ' s work is hauntingly gorgeous ) are simply not enough to do it . when the credits rolled , i was so confused that i searched the extras for some clarification only to find an alternate ending that confused me even more . lander ' s thriller wannabe is a confusing jumble of badly developed ideas which happen to be acted out by a talented group of actors who are squandered away in a film that is so concerned with creating a mystery that it overlooks the fact that it also needs to be a good movie . a sad waste of a great cast .\npolyvinyl ( 4 years ago ) reply i think it is very clear that emma is john reincarnating his controlling mother in his split personality . her control over him did not end when she died . and he fights this control over him , while she becomes the dominant persona . at last he prevents the child from becoming her / his next victim but is unable to free himself . in the end he returns into the cage of his mind . the film / script is not perfect , but cillian murphy gives a stunning performance of this torn mind , especially when at the end the two characters melt together and you can sense emmas presence just in the way\njohn\nmoves .\nmr . jackson was not present in the meetings with new zealand officials , though his manager , ken kamins , who is also an executive producer of the film , was , along with toby emmerich , new line\u2019s president , and john a . rogovin , warner\u2019s general counsel . the discussions were generally smooth , according to the person who spoke anonymously . that person said both warner executives and government officials agreed from the outset that new zealand was the preferred location , if the union question could be resolved , and if warner could recoup some of the money it had lost in the delay , partly from a strengthening of the new zealand currency . canada , germany and britain had all surfaced as viable alternative locations .\nnow , before you go raking me over the coals for dealing out spoilers when you know how much i hate them , step off\u2026everything , with the exception of my excerpt from the most excellent song by rockwell , in the quick fix above can be peeped in the trailer on the movie\u2019s official website . i strongly questioned why they would ever drop the \u201cbig reveal\u201d bomb in the trailer like that , but in watching the movie itself unfold and unravel before my eyes , it suddenly became very clear to me \u2013 the filmmakers weren\u2019t nearly as concerned with whether or not we knew the \u201chow\u201d of it all \u2013 they wanted us to watch the film closely and pay attention so that we could learn the \u201cwhy\u201d of it all\u2026 . nicely played !\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 -

animal , and cellular data concerning the function and development of the medullary serotonergic system . these emerging data suggest an important underlying mechanism in sids that may help lead to identification of infants at risk and specific interventions to prevent death .\nkopp n , chigr f , denoroy l , gilly r , jordan d . absence of adrenergic neurons in nucleus tractus solitarius in sudden infant death syndrome .\nquattrochi jj , mcbride pt , yates aj . brainstem immaturity in sudden infant death syndrome : a quantitative rapid golgi study of dendritic spines in 95 infants .\nmason p . contributions of the medullary raph\u00e9 and ventromedial reticular region to pain modulation and other homeostatic functions .\nhauck fr , herman sm , donovan m , iyasu s , merrick moore c , et al . sleep environment and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome in an urban population : the chicago infant mortality study .\niyasu s , randall ll , welty tk , hsia j , kinney hc , et al . risk factors for sudden infant death syndrome among northern plains indians .\npaterson ds , trachtenberg fl , thompson eg , belliveau ra , beggs ah , et al . multiple sero -

another funny three stooges short film featuring the three stooges at their very best . the three stooges were at their best when moe , larry , and curly were together ( i never cared much for the films featuring shemp or any of the other stooges that starred opposite moe and larry ) . curly was the real deal in these three stooges short subjects , and\ngents without cents\nis living proof of that . here , the stooges play actors who act like burlesque comedians trying to find a job . they do find a job , along with three female dancers ( and gymnasts ) , and are forced to put on a show .

throughout the running time there are a few slaps , punches and eye - pokes but there ' s really not too many scenes that even attempt for laughs . the majority of the running time is devoted to a\nshow\nthat the boys put on and there certainly aren ' t any laughs here . then you ' ve got the girl ' s act , which is the most entertaining thing here .\nwhat would a three stooges short be

when they keep getting interrupted by falling plaster . upon investigation moe , larry , and curly find there are three hoofers rehearsing their act named flo , mary , and shirley . with that kind of coincidence you know they ' ll hit it off . before long they ' re doing their act as the girls do their ' s in front of a shipyard audience . it ' s all for the war effort as long dead vaudeville acts actually did find war workers needing some entertainment on their lunch hours here and in real life . the women , lindsay bourquin , laverne thompson , and betty phares actually do a nice combination of acrobatics and dancing . and the guys get to do the famous\nnigara falls\n. . . .\nslowly i turned\nroutine adapted for three . it ' s all quite nice and a salute to the vaudeville origins of all

spent days in prep and setting up so it would be a night to remember .\nyep , after a few weeks of lesser stooge shorts , we are back to primo moe , larry and curly . i don ' t have a problem with musical numbers or singing and dancing - - provided that ' s it ' s entertaining . unlike some of the early a & c features , the singing and dancing found within gents is highly entertaining . maybe it ' s because all the singing is done by the stooges - - but the team of lindsay , laverne and betty hold my interest as well . i don ' t find myself looking at my watch whenever they are on . and i think by this point in the stooge shorts , the sound crew finally found a good sound effect for the eye poke . overall , i rate this a 8 . 5 out of 10 pokes . . . .\nfair use notice : this site

available in the 21st century . they can tell the story better than i . but when the stars began aligning and these gents found each other , dean ' s youtube videos , and then me - well the relentless pursuit of sid & jerry to give you , me our children the music that was such a huge part of who we all are , was underway . they gathered cassettes , reel tapes , acetates , etc . and converted to digital for re - mastering . what a team ! jerry converted and tweaked , sent to sid ( originally in virginia , then and now paris , france ) who re - mastered again and again until we got what you now have . all out of love for the music !\nsid hagan ' s story of his first exposure to too smooth , to his relentless search for\nwhere ' s too smooth ?\nthereafter is a picture of fate . without sid and his drive to undo the injustice dealt too smooth by the music / record business of the 70 ' s , none of this resurgence - i repeat , none of this resurgence of too smooth would have happened . dean ' s release of\ntimeless\n& sid re - mastered the music from what little was there from a condenser mike video recording . sid believes that the music is worthy and should be heard and set out on a mission to convince me that we could re - master old recordings and give 100 ' s if not 1000 ' s of people what they ' ve always wanted and deserved - a pristine recording of songs from the huge repertoire of too smooth recordings from the 70 ' s . what an unselfish endeavor of love of the music sid has . so sidward ( yea i ' ve got lots of pet names for my brother from another mother ) has not only ramrodded , and spent years re - mastering the songs for this ultimate endeavor , but also introduced recordings to internet dee jays who have embraced and played the medley cut from ' live &

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

dade county public schools eliminated out - of - school suspensions as part of an effort to redirect its discipline policies , a move that losen said is \u201chuge\u201d and has high potential . other locations he\u2019s watching include maryland , where extensive changes to the state\u2019s discipline policies are underway , and denver , whose leading role in the elimination of exclusionary discipline makes it a key guidepost for other districts striving to do away with zero - tolerance tactics .\nthe film was produced in 2011 and was originally titled angels . it was initially conceived as more of a slow burn , character - driven affair before becoming a swift - paced action drama . dustin nguyen ' s wife , bebe pham , took the role of the madam of a high - end sex club .\nthere are some hilarious early opportunities for elle to vent her foul - mouthed irascibility and zero tolerance for\nassholes ,\nnotably with an uptight barista ( john cho ) in a coffee shop that was formerly a free women ' s health center , and at a cafe where she tries to sell some first editions to the flinty owner ( the late elizabeth pena in one of her final roles ) . sage stands by dumbstruck while grandma hurls invective , and though the girl is no dummy , she does think the feminine mystique is an x - men character , amusingly underlining the canyon - wide generation gap .\nsahajak has a leading role in \u201czero tolerance\u201d , turning in an emotional performance that takes its cues from the brooding and intense nguyen , whom sahajak says he idolised on \u201c21 jump street\u201d . if he looks familiar , it\u2019s because the english - fluent sahajak is a much in - demand actor for foreign productions , usually donning a policeman\u2019s or prison guard\u2019s uniform for such movies as \u201conly god forgives\u201d or \u201cbrokedown palace\u201d . he\u2019s been featured in seemingly endless array of other entries of the past three editions of the thailand international fine destination festival , with credits that include \u201cthe lost medallion\u201d , \u201cthe mark : redemption\u201d , \u201cthe lady\u201d and \u201celephant white\u201d .\nwhere the film really kicks in and gains emotional weight , however , is in a beautiful scene with karl ( sam elliott , just perfection ) , a mellow old romantic with four ex - wives and a tribe of grandchildren , who hasn ' t seen elle in 30 years . he agrees to lend her the money , but their painful unresolved history gets in the way before the deal is done .\nwych , popularly known by his nickname \u201ckaos\u201d , had set out to make an asian - led film with his longtime friend nguyen , and they thought they had succeeded when \u201cangels\u201d screened in vietnam in 2012 . originally , it had nguyen and sahajak tangling with a sleazy bar owner played by british action star gary daniels . rapper prinya \u201cway thaitanium\u201d intachai appears as a hip - hop partner to sahajak\u2019s slick plainclothes cop .\nthe resulting feature , \u201cballistic : ecks vs sever\u201d , was taken away from him and re - edited by the studio . it was a dull and incomprehensible mess ( and still is ) . starring antonio banderas and lucy liu , the spy thriller became infamous as one of the first entries on the rotten tomatoes movie - review website to receive the rock - bottom zero - per - cent score .\nanyone still anticipating a nic cage career comeback will be forced to wait even longer following the runner , a middling southern political drama that can\u2019t manage to match , or even adequately contextualize , the real human tragedy of the deepwater horizon oil spill that forms the film\u2019s backdrop . unlikely to raise much interest in theatrical release , cage\u2019s latest excuse to pick up a paycheck can at least fall back on vod surfers in an attempt make up the difference .\nhuman trafficking , human trafficking with minor ' s consent , human trafficking with a heart condition . the hero ' s daughter is a hoe . he watches the tapes and is unable to take his eyes off the screen or that bland expression to go away . director wych kaosayanada tries to sprinkle his film with ideas explored in films like\nthe world of kanako , 2014\nand\nthe man from nowhere , 2010\n, however it does not work .\nthe key has been a focused effort to reduce salmonella in birds starting on the farm , before they enter the processing facility . the reasoning is simple : processing plants can do a lot to reduce salmonella with rinses and cleaning , but they can\u2019t always eliminate it . if the birds come into the plants with much less \u2014 or zero \u2014 salmonella , those interventions will be more effective and ultimately translate into a safer product for consumers .\nthe film makes a sweet joke about lesbians and their wind chimes by having elle ' s made out of the pieces of her cut - up credit cards . her strapped financial state means she has to call in favors to raise the cash , and her sour nature means there are few friends to whom she can turn . even when bridges haven ' t been burned , like with transgender tattooist deathy ( laverne cox ) , the latter ' s economic pinch limits how much she can help out .\nthe story is slowly evolved , which isn\u2019t necessarily bad . the film is full of garish nightclub scenes and fast - paced , vibrating dance music , which seems to underscore the core fact of the sex trade industry : it\u2019s on , and then it\u2019s on to the next john . the characters that appear also underline another theme - they\u2019re adept at using people , and in turn are used themselves . and none of them like it . but without fail , they all claim to like or love angel , and none demonstrates a motive for killing her .\nand though the termination of a pregnancy is what drives the plot , that sorrowful step is treated with the gravity it warrants in a story that ' s also about the many imperfect paths of motherhood . grandma is not as self - congratulatory and in - your - face as the recent obvious child about its evolved position on abortion as a regrettable but necessary option in many young women ' s lives . but there ' s admirable frankness , intelligence and sensitivity here . additionally , the film is a thoughtful , funny reflection on the gains and losses of growing old .\ncompetent but ultimately dull action thriller . the action bits are pretty decent when you get them but the pacing is jacked . scott adkins is in this movie . so is gary daniels . the movie presents solid reasons for why their characters would hate each other but they share zero screen time , which means no daniels / adkins throwdown . the red herrings come fast and furious only to ultimately present an anticlimactic reveal for who actually killed angel . it ' s a shame , really . i think there ' s a solid flick buried under all the incessant talking .\nthis has a promising ( if standard ) plot with good action , lots of shooting , chases etc . definitely has a 1990 ' s feel to it and the quality of the film is not the best , almost feels like it was videotaped but it could be the streaming provider ' s issue . but terrible acting on average . its cool to see some actors that will later in their careers appear in much better films and / or tv ( e . g . titus welliver ) ; also interesting to see mick fleetwood in here and a couple of other guys that i recognized , mostly general casting types . overall i would say that if it is a couple of hours of mindless action that you seek this would fit the bill .\n\u201cwe couldn\u2019t sell it , \u201d said wych during a panel talk after the movie , alongside nguyen , sahajak and cast members bebe pham and kane kosugi .\nafter making his debut at the age of 24 with the 1998 thai action drama \u201cfah\u201d , wych headed to hollywood and secured his place in history as one of the first thais to direct a feature there . but it was an achievement clouded by devastating failure .\nit was a huge setback for wych , who has spent the past decade clawing himself back from the brink of infamy .\n\u201cwhat happened with \u2018ballistic\u2019 really pretty much broke me , \u201d wych told the audience . \u201ci didn\u2019t want to make films for a while . i turned to music videos and commercials . i worked on other people\u2019s films .\nproduction in bangkok was problematic because of the 2011 floods , but an old house alongside bangkok noi canal was a prime location and the crew even used movie magic to level the place with a bomb , a rarity in budget - conscious thai films these days . the house still stands , by the way .\n\u201ci think we blew something up in every movie i\u2019ve been involved with . it\u2019s second nature by now , \u201d wych said .\nand when it came to time to direct his first movie , an \u201ceastern western\u201d called \u201conce upon a time in vietnam\u201d , nguyen recruited kaos as his cinematographer .\n\u201ci think that\u2019s the best way \u2013 make movies with your friends , \u201d nguyen said . \u201cbecause there\u2019s a lot of difficult people out there , and making a movie is a difficult job , so it\u2019s always better to do it with your friends . \u201d\nwych , meanwhile , has found that moving forward always helps . this year , he plans to make an action movie in bangkok called \u201cmaxx\u201d that will star kosugi . he says it will be a romantic comedy . \u201cprobably the closest thing to a romantic comedy i will ever do . \u201d\nkosugi isn\u2019t so sure . \u201cthere\u2019s no comedy , \u201d he retorted with a laugh .\nbut as with most of kaos\u2019 films so far , things are likely to change along the way .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njohnny and peter , former paramilitary operatives , search bangkok -

school students attend a circle session at restorative justice class at the augustus f . hawkins high school in los angeles , which recently reformed its discipline policies .\npolicymakers and educators , among others , are beginning to question the harsh discipline policies and practices that have in recent decades became popular in certain districts , too . research shows that the reliance on punitive school discipline like suspensions , expulsions , and school arrests\u2014\u201cschool pushout\u201d\u2014deprives students of learning time and takes the greatest toll on nonwhite students , students with disabilities , lgbt youth and other vulnerable student groups . suspensions can even harm the education of non - misbehaving students , according to some research .\nthe leadership team\u2019s 10 - point plan , released this july , includes reforms such as reducing racial disparities in suspensions and more transparent data collection . looking ahead , the team\u2019s recommendations leave rodriguez cautiously optimistic .\nresources are also a central theme in los angeles , where its relatively new and widely publicized discipline policy is causing consternation among some school staff . in 2013 los angeles unified school district banned all suspensions for \u201cwillful defiance\u201d \u2013 an ambiguous category , presumably similar to \u201cinsubordination , \u201d used for everything from dress - code violations to eating and talking in class . as in new york , this catch - all category of minor offenses accounted for a significant percentage of all student suspensions in california and some of the largest racial disparities in discipline .\nmorales , whose school is very small and reports few to no suspensions and expulsions , pointed to a misunderstanding of what willful defiance is , poor implementation of the new policy , inadequate training , and a shared commitment to the philosophy behind the ban as the source of most staff dissatisfaction . \u201cit was like , \u2018here\u2019s our new policy\u2019 . . . [ teachers ] still have their same biases , and now they\u2019re extra angry because their one method was to kick [ insubordinate students ] out , and there\u2019s just extra hostility\u201d because they\u2019re banned from using it . and morales said that one of the key tools she finds most effective is missing in the l . a . plan : student input . \u201cwhen teachers are resistant my fallback is to bring in student voice . how they ( students ) feel when they\u2019re having a bad day and acting a little weird and feel disrespected . \u201d she said it\u2019s really helpful for teachers to hear students\u2019 perspectives to \u201crethink it . \u201d\ndeveloping a school culture in which suspension is the last resort rather than the first is achievable , said morales , using her own school\u2014which serves a low - income , mostly latino student population\u2014as a prime example . \u201cyou can find other ways of addressing the problem with the same students everyone else teaches , \u201d she stressed . at garfield high school in east los angeles the same thinking applies , where graduation rates and academic outcomes appear to have improved as out - of - school suspensions declined . the garfield school team took suspensions \u201coff the table\u201d and transitioned to restorative conflict resolution , recognizing and rewarding positive student behaviors , and stronger ties with parents and the community .\ntrends like these make youth activists like rodriguez hopeful . \u201csuspensions are the easy way out . all you have to do is suspend a student and they\u2019ll be gone for up to a week , \u201d she said . \u201cbut that doesn\u2019t tackle the root of the problem . when a teacher takes a student out and talks to us , it shows us they care . it shows community . \u201d\nurltoken copyright ( c ) 2018 by the atlantic monthly group . all rights reserved .\ntwo former para - military operatives , johnny ( nguyen ) and his police detective friend peter ( boonthanakit ) search bangkok to find the killers of johnny ' s young daughter angel ( paosut ) and deliver retribution .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nthe films directed by wych kaosayananda are very hit and miss with people . but it seems they are mainly a miss , and so is this one . i wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that his name actually contains an alternate spelling of the word \u2018chaos\u2019 ?\ndustin nguyen stars as johnny , a semi - retired black ops operative , trained by the cia in the us . it so happens that a former cia associate of his , named peter ( sahajak boonthanakit ) , is now a police officer in bangkok , thailand , who works in the sex crimes division . when the dead body of young woman is found floating in the river , peter is called in . he immediately recognizes her to be angel , the daughter of his friend . he makes a hasty trip to china to relate what has happened , even telling his friend to give him a few days to investigate just what happened , and then johnny can do what he needs to . when johnny arrives , he , peter , and karn , peter\u2019s partner , set out to run down the leads they have in order to discover the truth behind angel\u2019s demise , and who might have murdered her .\njohnny hasn\u2019t had any contact with his daughter in years , as she was taken away when her mother left her father . what johnny soon discovers is that his daughter willingly went into the sex trade industry , and that all her clientele loved her . specifically among those are her former pimp sammy ( gary daniels ) , and newly enamored boyfriend steven ( scott adkins ) . he learns that angel was considered too smart for her own good , being quite adept at manipulating men . all of this is discovered through peter and karn taking him into the seedy sex trade districts of bangkok . some of the information is found out by talking with friends and coworkers ; some through coercion .\nnguyen plays johnny as a father whose anger and desire for vengeance is always right below the surface . he\u2019s a professional , and he keeps his emotions in check for the most part , but just barely . his friend peter only wants to help johnny get to the truth , and even allow him his revenge , as long as it\u2019s kept on the down - low . unfortunately , that doesn\u2019t happen , and peter loses his position as a police officer . it tests their relationship , but doesn\u2019t break it .\ni know what you\u2019re thinking : you mean none of these guys face off against one another ? well , there\u2019s one . in the last action sequence , johnny comes face to face with his daughter\u2019s \u2018boyfriend\u2019 , steven , and asks him if he knows what happened to angel . johnny has been methodically gunning down every male in the club , to which steven responds , \u201cwhy don\u2019t you put your gun down , and see if you can beat it out of me ? \u201d so it\u2019s on , right ? the one moment i\u2019d hope for , to justify the expense of this dvd , is actually about to take place . yes ! \u2026sort of . there are some nice exchanges that start to hopefully build up to more involved choreography . adkins lets loose with a couple of kicks , nguyen takes out his knee , and it\u2019s over . wait , what ? yep . it might have lasted 90 seconds .\nso , what\u2019s the verdict ? well , i can\u2019t encourage you to spend your hard earned money on this . however , i do think it\u2019s worth seeing or renting . this movie has a lot going for it , but fails to deliver in many regards , especially the action . the plot is good , the acting is good , and the action is good , but there\u2019s not enough of it . and i don\u2019t mean there\u2019s a lack of martial arts action , even though there is . there\u2019s just a lack of steady action . the fact that the story has a slow build is fine , but that would still work with a couple of more action pieces building to a greater intensity at the end . i\u2019ve always been a fan of dustin nguyen , and at times in this he just seethes as a man trying to keep a tight rein on himself . he has great presence , is a good actor , and i was hoping to see him showcase his martial arts skills the way he did in the rebel against johnny tri - nguyen . sadly , that didn\u2019t happen . and what a waste to have fighting talent like kosugi , daniels , adkins , and nguyen , and then not utilize them .\njeff is an fbi agent sent to pick up ray manta , a member of the white hand drug cartel , from a mexican jail . manta escapes , and gets revenge by killing jeff ' s family . kowalski , another . . . see full summary \u00bb\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\ndetective ray morgan accidentally kills the son of a mob boss . the mob boss orders to have morgan killed unknowing that the assassin killed morgan ' s wife and kids . now morgan ' s out for . . . see full summary \u00bb\ncop finds himself caught between an organzed crime gang and a ring of crooked cops .\nan undercover cop teams up with a martial - arts expert to stop a gang of drug smugglers and car thieves .\nchuck taylor is a charter pilot who unknowingly smuggles cocaine for the cartel into the u . s . unfortunately he is captured by the feds . ironically , so is tony king , boss of the cartel . the . . . see full summary \u00bb\nlaw and order\nmayorial candidate brigitte nielsen is the ruthless and racist leader of a secret neo - fascist group out to take control of the city by whatever means necessary .\non a mission to rescue some p . o . w .

level criminals vastly underestimate both the current situation in their target\u2019s home and its resident\u2019s certain set of skills . the mvp of this midsection is arguably cinematographer pedro luque , who works with alvarez to very clearly define the blueprint of the house and where our characters are within it . unlike a lot of modern horror , which uses quick cuts and shaky camerawork to induce fear , alvarez and luque understand that we\u2019ll relate to the predicament of \u201cdon\u2019t breathe\u201d the more clearly we can define what\u2019s going on . as lang and levy play a game of cat and mouse through this maze , it\u2019s best to know where the walls are . and , of course , it\u2019s more effective when alvarez and company pull those walls away in a basement that feels like a neverending series of shelves , replicating the protagonist\u2019s confusion and fear .\ntransplanted brit helmer max myers displays a go -

n - roll band as a drummer . i toured for many years and finally got sick of living out of a suitcase . i gave up playing , bought a computer , switched it on and started writing . fortunately , it has never stopped pouring out of me . so for the next several years , i just wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote . i had never achieved great commercial success as a drummer and had to take day jobs . these inevitably were either as a bouncer , which i did for several years or as a waiter or bartender . but all the while i kept honing my gig . when my friends would go out , i stayed in and wrote but it never became tedious because for me , writing is the greatest gift of expressive creation there is .\nllewellyn\u2019s wife , carla jean moss , portrayed by the amazing kelly macdonald , is initially unaware that he found and kept the money . unfortunately , in one of the last , and , for me , saddest scene of the film , she finds herself face -

copied , rarely equaled . although most of them haven\u2019t done real crime or time in prison , the reader is given a captivating , and often - cryptic observation of a particular era .\nthe girl is tended to by her strict , doctor mother ( anika noni rose , dreamgirls ) and a sympathetic nurse , carla ( ana de la reguera , narcos . ) her mother wants to protect her at all costs , which means keeping her locked away , even from temptation . carla doesn\u2019t see much harm in letting a little bit of the world in , as long as it\u2019s safe .\none of the most memorable scenes occurs between the sheriff , who has decided to retire and ellis , portrayed by the incredible veteran actor , barry corbin . once a lawman , now confined to a wheelchair , the memorable exchange captures the sherriff\u2019s sense of hopeless desperation , arguably the film\u2019s message and ellis , the voice of reality .\ni had originally wanted to direct\nirish jam\nmyself , but at that time , did not have my own company and had very limited contacts . i have now rectified that and am happy to say that my company , the american independent film company is doing quite well . anyway , i digress with this shameless promo , okay , where was i ? oh , yeah , so john eyres had been given the script by a mutual friend , took an option and three years later made the flick . film is collaborative art and if you ' re not willing to accept that , then you ' re in the wrong business . and thereby lays the rub .\nyour second novel , the sun is also a star came out last year , will that also be adapted into a film ? yes , that\u2019s been optioned by mgm and warner bros . and tracy oliver [ barbershop : the next cut ] is writing the script . i think she just started , so we\u2019re going down the road .\nit seems like you really enjoy being both writer and director . . . why is that ? when you first contacted me it was in response to my review of\nirish jam ,\na film for which you are credited as the screenwriter . . . my understanding is you actually wrote the lead role with eddie griffin in mind . . . can you explain ?\nbesides tolkien at fox searchlight / chernin ent . , gleeson recently completed writing \u2019twas the night for paramount pictures with karen rosenfelt producing . he previously wrote the end of history for original film and sony pictures and also wrote down to a sunless sea which he wrote for focus features for morgan freeman to produce and co -

budget film you get several others that are really\nsony classics ,\nfox searchlight ,\netc . likewise , while i love landmark theatres ( which we just got here ) it ' s pretty obvious that they have a tie - in to at least half ( or more ) of the films they show and it seems like most of their films are on the upper - end financially for indie films . how is hollywood for the truly independent filmmaker these days ?\nirish jam\nwas not just a fish - out - of - water romantic / comedy , it was about racism , greed , honor , integrity and how love and forgiveness are the most powerful gifts that we can bestow not only on each other , but as importantly , on ourselves . after having purchased a copy from target for $ 14 . 99 , i was confused when i watched it . my girlfriend looked over at me and pointedly asked me to explain the ending to her , which i was at a loss to do , so yeah , it ' s quite different from my script . to this day the producers have never given me a copy and in fact , i was invited to the screening the day after they screened the film and now i see why .\nan alcoholic former rockabilly star ( scott wilson ) is mad at his sons for wanting to follow in his musical footsteps .\nwith : jimmy ray stevens -

families of blue - winged kookaburras would raise a racket early and late in the day , and solitary pheasant coucals would mainly call plaintively to prospective girlfriends in the hotter humid months during the storm and wet seasons . the memorable calls of these birds are absolutely typical of rivers and creeks in the northern australian bush , and this is a great example of a splendid gem of a detail that has gone totally over the top of the average film critic ' s head .\nbryan brown \u2014 king carney ( owner of all the cattle country in the top end except for ' faraway downs ' , which he is determined to own , to complete his monopoly of the beef market . halfway through the film neil fletcher knocks him unconscious with a rifle butt and pushes him into the saltwater crocodile infested river . )\non the big screen , anderson appeared in the fifth installment of the scary movie franchise and the boxing flick grudge match , both from 2013 . the following year , he demonstrated his passion for food as the host of the food network & apos ; s eating america series .\n- the duchess and the detectives ( 1982 ) . . .

' dinner ' ( kangaroo ) is unceremoniously tied to the top of the cab , and cooked that night over the camp fire .\nthis is the best of times and the worst of times . i feel like i ' m riding a great wave at the moment ; its scary and exhilarating , and so long as i can keep my head up and keep breathing , it ' ll be worth it . the message of the film and the work we are all doing to promote it is that we have to save the forests of the world in order to keep this planet habitable , and we need people , like dorjee , with smart solutions , bold vision and the energy and passion to make this happen . the mantra of our mission is the same one that brought the wave of change to the usa last week - yes we can .\nthe burning plain opens with a trailer in the middle of the desert that is engulfed in flame . it just sits there , an inferno with a background that john ford would be proud of . we come to find out that there were two people in the blaze : gina ( kim basinger ) and nick ( joaquim de almeida ) . they were in the throws of passion when the propane tank exploded . the two were married . but not to each other . out of the ashes nick ' s son ( j . d . pardo ) and gina ' s daughter ( jennifer lawrence ) develop a romance after satisfying the curiosity of what each lover was like . as time passes we ' re introduced to sophie ( charlize theron ) , a restaurant manager whose life has turned into a series of meaningless sex acts and self mutilation . the funny thing about the burning plain is how it surprises you . you expect the main focus to be basinger ' s relationship or theron ' s loss of life , but at the central core of the film isn ' t a couple playing in the desert , put how their children help each other cope and eventually create what was destroyed in that trailer in the desert . that ' s the most interesting story . through all the odds and animosity they hold it together . even though it ' s not a perfect film , it does hold ones interest with a story that spans time and how it will catch up with you . it is more tragedy than romance , so don ' t go into this expecting nicholas sparks garbage . this is actually well written and acted with a sense for detail . a nice film .\nfor most of the film , these moments are few and far between , favoring instead the tenderness of christine\u2019a braiding pj\u2019s hair on their stoop , or a beat cop sharing a burger at a neighborhood gathering . the red hues and raw rhymes of the scenes in quest\u2019s studio give the film a rhythmic backbone , like a catchy hook . even as \u201cquest\u201d toys with expectations , ( there are no chart toppers to be found here ) , the triumphs in \u201cquest\u201d are much harder to spot , though they are mighty ; love , family , and hope in the face of adversity . nothing could be more harmonious .\ntwo months of filming took place in the north queensland town of bowen because it doubled as the darwin waterfront as it appeared more than 60 years ago . bowen had sufficient land that was vacant - and leasable - in the ideal spot . this enabled film sets - including cattle yards - to be built right on the waterfront .\nbiggest mobs - longest shadows\nfeatures the iconic barkly tableland , where the largest herds of cattle on the planet are found .\nthe dvd released in april 2009 includes two extra scenes , not included in the finished ' australia ' film . one scene is titled ' angry staff serve dinner ' . it shows lady ashley being waited on by staff at the faraway downs homestead - presumably on the first night she arrived . the finished film shows no hint or suggested cause of friction between lady ashley and sing - song , bandy legs and daisy so in the absence of additional information , it ' s hard to know where this scene would have fitted in . more omitted storyline would have fitted in around it .\n- the millionaire and the murder mansion ( 2009 ) . . .

(\nbe all you can be ,\nindeed . )\nel topo is filled with \u201choney in the lion\u201d moments ; in fact , the whole movie is a succession such moments . el topo digging up eggs in the desert . an armless man carrying a legless man . a warrior who fights with a butterfly net . a church where the services consist of games of russian roulette . jodorowsky is attracted to such images not because they are meaningful , in the sense of \u201cadding up\u201d to an overweening mystical vision , but because they feel meaningful . he\u2019s more interested in the mysterious effect these images have on the viewer than in teaching the audience a philosophical lesson . these \u201choney in the lion\u201d moments constantly poke through el topo \u2018s narrative , like fragments of ancient texts that were just too good to be left out , too powerful to not be divinely inspired . el topo is a scripture without a dogma .\ni am intrigued , so i get jodorowsky on the telephone from paris . i remind him how crazy people can get talking about el topo ( released in 1971 ) and the holy mountain ( 1973 ) . a film - buff colleague at sun media remembers walking out of el topo in the 1970s . wayne janes was , and still is , disgusted after buying a ticket because john lennon of the beatles had championed the film .\nanother person\u2019s loss ( the movie audience ) is another person\u2019s gain though ( the comic audience ) and now jodorowsky , together with superstar artist ladr\u00f6nn , has released the sons of el topo \u2013 volume 1 ka\u00efn . ka\u00efn is the eldest son of two , sired by el topo by two different women . vowing revenge for abandoning him , ka\u00efn sets upon a doomed journey to murder his now holy father . names are power though in jodorowsky\u2019s world and it soon becomes apparent why his son was named ka\u00efn . what follows is a drug - induced savage spectacle that features plenty of bizarre and violent confrontations between ka\u00efn , the world and el topo\u2019s followers .\nthe ceaseless shocking images on the screen , are what made\nel ' topo\nan underground hit in one new york theater for months in 1970 . not the story , not the performances , not the stars ( jodorowsky himself plays el topo and the child is his own son ) . the images . john lennon and yoko ono saw it , loved it , and convinced beatles manager allen klein to buy and release it . the film went on to play all over the world and engender countless interpretations . jodorowsky encourages such speculation by titling sections of the film after books of the bible (\npsalms\n) , and making el topo perhaps a christ figure .\nel topo ,\nfirst released theatrically in 1969 , made jodorowsky a household name with the counterculture crowd of the early 1970s .\nel topo\nprovided the template for\nmidnight movie madness ,\nscreening seven nights a week at midnight for seven straight months at the elgin cinema in new york . paradoxically , the film was thoroughly panned by the film critic of the new york times but it was then lauded by the paper ' s art critic who called it\na monumental work of filmic art .\nto say that el topo became a\ncult classic\nis something of an understatement in light of its surprisingly broad acceptance fueled , in part , by ringing\nthere are plans for a $ 15m sequel to el topo , in which jodorowsky ' s friend and fan , marilyn manson , is expected to star . but raising capital is difficult for jodorowsky , and he has no expectations .\nwill actually see the light of day . but with adan jodorowsky saying his father is currently experiencing a creative burst of energy and still making the film , there ' s hope we could one day see el topo ride again .\nwhat the hell , hero ? : numerous times with el topo . at least once with jodorowski , who was hailed as a creative genius : there is a scene where el topo rapes mara that jodorowksi claims was not staged and was actually him raping the actress . however , jodorowski has made a number of very outlandish claims about himself , his life and his work , and it is very advised to take what he says with a few grains of salt .\ni am sad to say we are giving up on el topo . we are going to give it some time before we go back . the last few visits have been disappointing . hopefully , they get back to what we remembered .\nan episodic picaresque that follows a man ' s quest - - for , um . . . god ? his inner child ? buddhist enlightenment ? we ' re never quite sure - - el topo is a fable packed with christian , hindu , confucian and zen buddhist symbols , not to mention references to freud and jung . but , as the film ' s trailer succinctly puts it , el topo\nis not a religious film , it contains all religions .\nbut what el topo does is to illustrate a very post - modern idea that through failure success eventually emerges . el topo may die failing to save the people from the cave , but when he dies , a beehive appears , just as upon the death of each of the master gunfighters in the desert . he does not find any final answer or enlightenment , but just as the movie goes on after all of the first four master gunfighters die , there is the implication that there is more beyond the death of el topo . his children survive to go on into the world further . his ultimate act is to destroy himself . his life , at the close of the film , is a negation .\never since the nineties , alejandro jodorowsky has been trying to gather the funds for a sequel for el topo . after finding out the hard way that studios thought the venture far too risky he turned to comics to broaden the el topo saga . it is a mystery to me how he was not able to find the necessary funds for the sequel , admirers of his cult movie are a regular who\u2019s who of directors and actors . maybe he should have turned to crowdfunding ?\n: the legitimate 2005 release of an el topo dvd was the event of the millenium for weird movie fans . the film is included as part of the 5 - disc set \u201cthe films of alejandro jodorowsky , \u201d which also includes dvds of\nthe second year , after the cannes premiere of\nsanta sangre ,\ni asked him why\nel topo\nhad been out of circulation . he blamed allen klein , the man who had put the film in circulation in the first place .\nafter finally freeing the trapped lepers from the mountain , the townspeople respond by massacring them . in a rage el topo charges at them , and despite being hit with heavy gunfire he scares the townspeople away and in a dying act , immolates himself .\nmeanwhile , lennon had persuaded klein to put up $ 1m to help jodorowsky make another film , the holy mountain . like el topo , it was a spiritual quest , this time following a christ - like figure ( jodorowsky , again ) seeking immortality .\nel topo was normal , the holy mountain was abnormal . my ambition was enormous . i wanted to make a picture like you would make a holy book , like the bhagavad gita or the tao te ching . i went very far .\naccordingly , el topo opens with a passage that could be an existential journey for one ' s soul or a spoof of a sergio leone spaghetti western : the bearded , leather - clad gunfighter el topo ( jodorowsky himself ) and his young son ( brontis jodorowsky ) ride through the desert and into a hamlet of bloodily decimated people and animals . from then on , it ' s a winding , spiraling road of evil bandits , mystical foes , and whip - cracking dykes , spiked with indelible , inexplicable imagery .\ntwice in el topo , we see bees building hives in corpses , just as the old testament bees made a home in the carcass of the lion . both uses of the image come at a crucial time in the film . the first appearance is in the climax to the first half of the movie . after he has finished his trials with the four masters , and feels that he has lost his soul , el topo comes across the body of the first master in a shallow grave , covered by a beehive . in despair , he grabs the comb and smears the honey all over his mouth and black beard . the image also appears in the final shot in the film . after el topo immolates himself at the climax , his ashes are covered by a swarm of bees .\nas someone who was born and raised in ca and craves authentic mexican food el topo is not the place . the food is mediocre at best and the service is even worse . the only redeeming value here is the margaritas are decent , but is that . . .\njodorowsky is the protagonist , as well as the director , writer and co - composer . he is everywhere ; he is , in his own words , \u201cthe maker of the topo . \u201d el topo is certainly a shrewd and canny film , expertly codifying various counterculture trends and clich\u00e9s , as well as making a stew with various religions , which lead vincent canby to call him an \u201cintellectual william randolph hearst\u201d and pauline kael to label him \u201can exploitation filmmaker . \u201d unlike most exploitation filmmaker though , he doesn\u2019t even have the courage of his bad taste and pretends that el topo , with all its cheap religious symbolism and mystical mumbo jumbo , really means something . kael again : \u201che\u2019s an exploitation filmmaker , but he glazes everything with a useful piety . it\u2019s the violence plus the unctuous prophetic tone that make el topo a heavy trip . . . jodorowsky has come up with something new , exploitation joined to sentimentality - the sentimentality of the counter - culture . \u201d\nthe lone rider is el topo . the name translates as\nthe mole .\nthe movie informs us that a mole spends his life digging tunnels to the sky , only to go blind when it sees the sun . this is not quite true , but truth is not allowed to interfere with its use as a convenient symbol . will el topo dig free and go blind ? and if he does , what will that mean ? pauline kael observed that fellini ' s\nla dolce vita\nis filled with symbols , and they ' re all obvious .\nel topo\nis filled with symbols , and they ' re not obvious . i am reminded of one of ebert ' s laws :\nif you have to ask what something symbolizes , it doesn ' t .\nor it stands for itself .\nofficial trailer for renowned director alejandro jodorowsky ' s 1970 cult classic film el topo , now available on dvd and blu - ray from abkco films . get the dvd here

friend of alejandro jodorowsky ) confirmed that el topo was one of his biggest influences for valhalla rising . both films are conceived by their directors as projections of acid trips .\nbut it was with his next film , el topo ( the mole ) , that jodorowsky , less a director and more a canny , barnum - esque mystical showman , tapped the zeitgeist . the story of its success / notoriety is almost as interesting as the film itself . championed by john lennon , who urged his manager allen klein to buy the rights , el topo , billed as \u201ca film too heavy to be shown any other way , \u201d was turned into a midnight movie sensation at ben barenholtz\u2019s elgin theater in new york city , where it ran for six months and brought underground fame to actor / director / writer / messiah / bullshit artist jodorowsky . well - known fans included dennis hopper , peter fonda , yoko ono and peter gabriel , whose concept album with genesis , the lamb lies down on broadway was supposedly inspired by the film . fando y lis was a sort of dry run for el topo with its woozy mishmash of styles , undigested surrealist clich\u00e9s and episodic quest narrative . what was missing was jodorowsky himself , who describes { el topo } as \u201ca quest for sainthood . \u201d\nthe new dvd collection of his films (\nel topo\nfando y ' lis ,\nthe holy mountain ,\nla cravate ,\nbut not\nsanta sangre ,\nwhich is separately available ) brings him back into focus as a great eccentric original .\nthe film opens with the black - clad gunfighter el topo ( jodorowsky ) riding into a small village on his horse with his naked son . the village has been ransacked , and there is blood and death everywhere . jodorowsky locates the criminals responsible \u2014 they are led by a military officer . el topo renders frontier justice and frees the surviving monks from the village and a woman . he leaves his son with the monks , and rides off with the woman . she convinces him to seek out and defeat four master gunfighters in the desert . he does so , and , finding them superior in skill , defeats them through trickery or luck . there is symbolism all over the movie . it is exaggerated symbolism , often religious . the master gunfighters each resemble a different religion . along the way a black - clad woman whose voice is overdubbed with that of a man joins the pair . the last master that el topo \u201cdefeats\u201d actually kills himself , to prove to that his life means nothing . the woman in black then shoots el topo , and his body is taken away by a band of physically handicapped or deformed people .\nthe movie is divided in three parts . during the first part , a gunslinger known as el topo ( who travels with his naked 7 year old son ) murders a group of bandits in revenge for the massacre of an entire village . the bandits are strangely dressed , degenerate and led by a fat , balding colonel . in the process , he liberates a woman he calls mara ( who the bandit leader was using as a slave ) . el topo falls in love with mara and rides off with her , abandoning his son at the monastery the bandits had occupied .\nis a continuous stream of unforgettable images ; any frame chosen at random inflames the imagination . my personal favorite is the lonsghot after el topo kills third master gunfighter , where his body lies bleeding in his own watering hole while the rest of the landscape is littered with rabbit corpses . the iconic image , however , is el topo riding off on horseback with a naked child sitting behind him , holding a black umbrella over his head . this image is particularly representative because it shows not only jodorowsky\u2019s gift for composition , but his penchant for shamelessly borrowing from other sources of inspiration :\nin the second part , mara convinces el topo that before she can love him he will need to be the best gunfighter in the world . in order to do so , he needs to find and kill four great masters who live in the desert . with the aid of a semi topless woman who speaks with a man ' s voice ( see above re : lsd ) el topo tracks down the four masters and kills them all by means of tricks . once he has killed them all , the mysterious woman shoots him , seduces mara , and leaves him to die .\ninteresting how you say our food is\nnot to your like\n, yet you feel the need to tell everyone else , with no particulars , using your sister as support . el topo gets rave reviews , mostly right here from those who have the gumption to speak up . . .\na bizarre , ultra - violent , allegorical western ,\nel topo\nis set in two halves that have widely been compared to the old and new testaments of the bible . in the first half , jodorowsky plays a violent , black - clad gunfighter who , accompanied by his naked son , sets off on a murderous mission to challenge four zen masters of gunfighting , and learns from each of them a great lesson before they die . in the second half , el topo sets out to find personal redemption , secluding himself in a subterranean community to learn the ways of peace , but unfortunately death is never far away . first released as an underground film , it was thanks to john lennon that the film was acquired by allen klein of abkco , who bought the rights to\nel topo\nand then financed alejandro jodorowsky ' s next film\nthe holy mountain .\na bizarre , ultra - violent , allegorical western ,\nel topo\nis set in two halves that have widely been compared to the . . . old and new testaments of the bible . in the first half ,

alejandro jodorowsky\u2019s next film\nthe holy mountain .\nthe holy mountain scandalized the 1973 cannes film festival . even more incomprehensible than el topo , it is a search for truth amid a torrent of religious imagery and mystical references from the occult . jodorowsky , who reads tarot cards in real life , once again stars , this time as the alchemist .\nit doesn\u2019t sound as if jodorowsky is committed to either a sensual travel or the son of el topo next , but he seemed incredibly hopeful that he would be making one of these two pictures next . i expect we will be hearing about which way he\u2019s going very soon though , as he didn\u2019t hang around following the premiere of the dance of reality , and he seems to be very keen to get working on a new feature soon . my money would probably be on the son of el topo , as it appears very much like he is shopping that film around for financing right now .\nthe third part begins with el topo awaking in an underground cavern filled with deformed people , who believe he is some kind of god . he discovers they ' re trapped in the cavern , and their deformities are the result of inbreeding . after sucking on a psychedelic beetle ( see above re : the lsd , again ) and undergoing a symbolic rebirth ( ummm . . . never mind , you probably get it by now ) el topo volunteers to dig a tunnel out of the mountain and in the process falls in love with a dwarf girl and destroys america , or at least capitalist amerika .\n: el topo , a figure dressed in black and carrying his nude son on horseback behind him , uses his supernatural shooting ability to free a town from the rule of a sadistic colonel . he then abandons his son for the colonel\u2019s woman , who convinces him to ride deep into the desert to face off against four mystical gunfighters . all of the gunfighters die , but el topo is betrayed , shot , and dragged into a cave by a society of deformed people , who ask the outlaw turned pacifist to help them build a tunnel so they can escape to a dusty western town run by degenerate religious fascists .\nalejandro jodorowsky crafts a stunning , visceral and action packed western film that can actually be compared to some of the genres finest works . el topo is a great film , a film that is unprecedented in its raw energy , and fluid direction . cult director judorowsky also acts , and he delivers a film that is remarkable in the way that it showcases its violence . no other western has taken such an approach as jodorowsky . brilliantly shot , acted and with a great story , this is a fine picture that is almost a forgotten classic of the genre . as far as westerns are concerns , i would call el topo as one of the finest along with once upon a time in the west , the good , the bad and the ugly and the wild bunch . the film should definitely be rediscovered by genre fans , but due to some of its striking images , this may not appeal to everyone . if you ' re looking for something a bit different in the genre , el topo is that film to watch . alejandro jodorowsky is a terrific filmmaker , and he doesn ' t compromise whatsoever . his vision is striking , unrelenting , and the sheer raw power of el topo will grab your attention from the moment in starts . the story is well crafted and it is a film that resonates well , as jodorowsky crafts a film that is very unique in the western genre , a film that displays certain ideas that are the director ' s trademark . el topo is a pleasant film , one that ranks among the finest in the genre , and if you ' ve enjoyed many of the spaghetti westerns , you ' ll surely enjoy this one . the film has a raw power that makes it memorable due to its visuals , and you are simply enthralled at what you are watching . if you enjoy obscured , cult cinema , then el topo is a film very well worth your time .\nas for confusing audiences , jodorowsky couldn ' t care less . in the case of el topo , he says ,\ni wanted it to be a free audience . somebody can laugh . the other can get angry . somebody can love . i don ' t want to give to the audience something clear .\nwith this event , we begin to pay tribute to alejandro jodorowsky and to present a selection of his exquisite filmography . . el topo followed by fando y lis ( 1968 ) , la monta\u00f1a sagrada ( 1973 ) , santa sangre ( 1989 ) and the national premiere of la danza de la realidad . welcome , master jodorowsky .\nnow , he has decided to convert several abandoned movies into comic form , as well , including \u201cson of el topo , \u201d an original idea called \u201cabel cain , \u201d and a metaphysical western - casino - gangster story called \u201cking shot , \u201d which at one point had a cast attached that included nick nolte and marilyn manson .\nthings get complicated when el topo takes a lover named mara ( played by mara lorenzio , a non - actor who , jodorowsky says , was tripping on lsd during the shoot ) . we soon learn that mara is a mexican version of lady macbeth , egging on her man to prove himself by killing the four sharpshooter masters of the desert ( oh , yeah . . . . ) contaminated by mara , el topo can win only by cheating . but as a true hero , he is wracked by guilt . eventually , he undergoes a version of christ ' s passion and begins atoning for his sins - - by helping out hordes of deformed dwarfs .\nmany of these have been exiled to a cave inside a mountain . el topo , threatened with death , bargains to free them from their cave and digs a tunnel into the mountain . generations of inbreeding have presumably produced the birth defects on view ; no word about how the cave people have been able to eat over the years .\nalejandro jodorowsky ' s el topo ( 1970 ) has rightly earned a place in the pantheon of cult cinema . watch any number of documentaries or interviews with the man himself and the film will often stand proud as the pioneer of the\nmidnight movie\n; a film obviously shown late due to its content but also exuding free reign \u2026\nel topo does stand up to its rep : it ' s still one of the most distinctive , if solipsistic , translations to film of one man ' s vision . it contains images and scenes of breathtaking sublimity - - some quite beautiful , others nasty and cruel - - as well as boasting a few comic gags straight out of vaudeville .\nto some , el topo remains something of a dubious endeavor , as na\u00efve in its way as it is wise . as ludicrous and egomaniacal as jodorowky often comes off , i\u2019m tempted to take him at his word , and there\u2019s undeniably something sincere about topo\u2019s quest through his inner desert and the struggle he faces when he emerges from the darkness . it\u2019s perhaps because jodorowsky balances so carelessly between creating spiritual art and succumbing to total artifice that his film seems to sprout and show off new feathers every time one revisits it .\nalejandro jodorowsky is not exactly a household name , but he was one of the most significant counterculture filmmakers of the \u201970s and his second film , el topo , remains one of the key midnight / head / trip movies . hoberman and rosenbaum gave him a whole chapter , titled \u201cthrough the wasteland of the counterculture , \u201d in their informative and entertaining 1983 book midnight movies , primarily focusing on el topo and its follow up , the holy mountain . several years ago , after a long period of unavailability , a dvd set of his films was released , which also included a 1994 documentary , la constellation jodorowsky , his early short film , once considered lost , la cravate and two soundtrack cds .\nalejandro jodorowsky , guest of honor at the 11th ficm , where he will present his new film la danza de la realidad , is here and will spend the night in morelia . the prelude to his visit began at the cin\u00e9polis centro with the screening of el topo ( 1970 ) , one of the masterpieces that make up his extraordinary filmography . his sons , brontis , actor and theater director , and ad\u00e1n , a musician who will exhibit his short film el ladr\u00f3n de voces here , were present at the screening .\nin 2006 , following the restoration and remastering of both films to hd ,\nel topo\nand\nthe holy mountain\nwere shown in the special events section at the prestigious 44th annual new york film festival . the films , originally made in the 1970s in mexico , were restored and remastered under the close supervision of jodorowsky himself . that same year both films were featured in the cannes classics section of the cannes international film festival .\nel topo\nwas screened before a black - tie audience at salle bunuel in the palais des festivals and\nthe holy mountain\nwas honored with the prized\ncenterpiece screening ,\nwhich was held for the first time ever on the beach at sundown .\nin advance of blindman ' s home video release , the film will be given theatrical screenings this friday and saturday at midnight et at the ifc center in new york city . the movie also will be shown on october 21 at the castro theater in san francisco as a double feature with director alejandro jodorowsky ' s famous cult flick ' s el topo .\noh .\nbut , i am making another movie instead ! i have signed the contract already with some russian producers . i will do son of el topo \u2013 a sequel . it ' s a conflict between two brothers who need to come to a solution . i am about to start four months of preparation . i can tell you nothing today .\nmaybe it is a human , honest thing . maybe it ' s why a young person wants to see ( el topo and the holy mountain ) now , because maybe today ' s movies are 100 percent business .\nwhen i challenge the percentage , jodorowsky chuckles and settles on 92 % instead . he is a provocateur with a sense of humour .\nif anything , el topo is a hoot to watch ( in moderate doses ) and a powerful reminder that we ' ve become a people obsessed with having experiences of the material , and spiritual , kind , regardless of their content . there ' s not much you can do with a gourd - full of memories , except recollect them - - usually alone .\ngreat film experience to revisit . as opposed to bringing out the magnifying glass on the image i was content just to enjoy the improved colors and higher detail via the superior resolution . it has its transfer imperfections but is the best way to see el topo at present in the comfort of your midnight - madness home theater display . we look forward to holy mountain via\ni still agree with that and do not think the symbols add up to a conclusion . but now having seen more of jodorowsky ' s work , i think jodorowsky ' s method is not without a purpose . what is el topo seeking in the desert ? why , he is seeking symbols , images , bizarre people and events , with which to fill the film .\ndue to an acrimonious dispute over ownership rights between jodorowsky and allen klein , the film was withdrawn from circulation for 30 years , during which time it could only be seen on bootlegged vhs copies . the scarcity of screenings vaulted el topo \u2018s already powerful reputation into a legendary one . jodorowsky and klein reconciled in 2004 and the film had a legal dvd release in 2005 .\nel topo was burned into the frontal lobes of my 20 - year - old self . not so much for the mystical overtones but for expanding the boundaries of cinema in terms of morals , philosophy , genre - bending and its reflections on not only the audience but on human relations and how power warps those affiliations . it laid the foundation of the midnight movies concept .\nthe film plays like a psychedelic vision quest courtesy of sergio leone and ruggero deodato . it opens with the eponymous el topo ( played by jodorowsky ) riding in the desert with his naked son . having turned seven years old , he must prove himself a man by burying his favorite toy and a picture of his mother . afterwards they come across the remnants of a town visited by a slaughter of biblical proportions : bodies and disemboweled animals litter the streets , literal rivers of maroon blood soak in the oppressive heat , and a chorus of unseen birds squawk into oblivion . after castrating and killing the colonel responsible for the massacre , el topo abandons his son with a group of monks and rides into the desert with a young woman he names mara .\nendorsements from john lennon and yoko ono that made it a commercial success in its own time . the film conflates classic american western and avant - garde european sensibilities with zen buddhism and the bible as master gunfighter and mystic el topo ( played by writer - director jodorowsky ) attempts to defeat four sharp - shooting rivals on a bizarre path to allegorical self - awareness and resurrection .\nby the time the second half of the film begins , where el topo is resurrected from death after 20 years and joins forces with his now grown son to free a tribe of incestuous dwarfs from their mountain prison by digging them a tunnel to freedom , the audience has come to accept that the plot of el topo is of only secondary importance . here is a film that communes with forces both sacred and blasphemous , both esoteric and exoteric . but above all , it is a film of symbols and images . a bandit uses high - heeled shoes as target practice . a lamb hangs crucified from a stone tower . water erupts from stones in the desert , eggs from beneath the sand , and still the mole digs and digs and digs and dies .\nbut that\u2019s not all , jodorowsky is also planning to make his long gestating the son of el topo film , a sequel to his 1970 cult classic . jodorowsky has recently put together a graphic novel of the first thirty minutes of the first film , with help from artist jos\u00e9 ladr\u00f6nn . i was lucky enough to see the graphic novel , and it looks very much in keeping with the original film , and is packed full of arresting imagery . the graphic novel has a table of contents at the start that lists three chapters : \u2018abel\u2019 , \u2018cain\u2019 and \u2018abelcain\u2019 , but jodorowsky said that this novel is part one of four . i also spoke to jodorowsky about the son of el topo and he discussed the graphic novel and his desire to make the film :\nroger ebert once wrote : \u201cif you have to ask what something symbolizes , it doesn\u2019t . \u201d such a latitude seemingly stymies attempts to interpret the works of alejandro jodorowsky , that great chilean - born artistic polymath who has amassed one of the most distinctive , original , and frightening bodies of work since william blake and pablo picasso . one of the crown jewels of his life\u2019s work is the ostensibly incomprehensible el topo , a western about a black - clad gunslinger who undergoes a doomed quest for enlightenment . \u201cel topo\u201d is the spanish word for \u201cmole . \u201d and in the film\u2019s opening moments a narrator explains : \u201cthe mole digs tunnels under the earth , looking for the sun . sometimes , he gets to the surface . when he sees the sun , he is blinded . \u201d\nanother easier - to - spot influence on \u201crango\u201d that appears in his list is alejandro jodorowsky \u2018s psychedelic midnight movie \u201c el topo . \u201d when discussing \u201cel topo , \u201d he just took a deep breath and said , \u201cthat thing is a trip . a mystical , spiritual allegory of western spiritualization , all of that . i think it says that you can have allegory and metaphor and things like that in a western . alejandro , in that movie , did so much more for the western . \u201d verbinski did a lot for the western too , throwing in his influences into a truly potent pop culture bouillabaisse that will probably inspire whole generations of kids without them even knowing it ( until one of them makes a highly stylized breakthrough years from now and puts \u201crango\u201d on their list ) .\n\u201ci could never do \u2018son of el topo , \u2019 for 40 years , \u201d jodorowsky , 82 , told the wrap . \u201cit cost $ 30 million and they didn\u2019t want to give me that . but in three more days , i will start to make the comic book of \u2018son of el topo . \u2019 i\u2019ll do it in comics . and also \u2018king shot , \u2019 i\u2019ll do it in comics . all the pictures i could never do , i\u2019ll do it in comics . all the comics i do are the pictures i could never do . i don\u2019t believe in failing . i have dignity . i will never fail ; if i can\u2019t do it in movies , i\u2019ll do it in comics . if i can\u2019t do it in comics , i\u2019ll do it in a written book . \u201d\na surreal cross between a sergio leone spaghetti western and ( a poor man ' s version of ) andrei tarkovsky ' s metaphysical sagas ( stalker , mirror ) , el topo made a big splash during its brief run . widely credited as the first midnight movie , it enjoyed a sold - out nightly run at the elgin theatre in manhattan for more than nine months , starting in december 1970 .\nhola ! the hotel has only one swimmpool , we would like to invite you to visit our web

freedom fighters , directed by ketan mehta and written by noted playwright vijay tendulkar .\nthe shattered photographs of sardar and dust on it , that is also a significant symbol of lost memories of

festivals and ministry of defense , commemorating 70th indian independence day . see more \u00bb\nthe film has used flashback and documentary techniques with real footages and newspaper articles , it can be consider as a biopic on the life of sardar vallbhbhai patel . all evidence related to the events is there . in the film viewer can observe the larger than life image of sardar patel , and all other characters like nehru and mahatma gandhi are downplayed .\nhe is the son of director veeru devgan , is a stunt choreographer and action film director and his mother , veena , is a film producer . devgan\u2019s brother , anil devgan , is a hindi , film director . in 1991 , devgan began his professional career in phool aur kaante against madhoo .\nabhay was the hindi adaptation of aalavandhan ( a 2001 tamil film ) which also starred kamal hassan .\nin the scene of violence towards hindus in direct action plan by jinha we can observe that there were fire all around and in the centre of it there were sardar and victims of this action plan were craving for help towards sardar , so we can say that country was burning and only hope was sardar . even after the independence most of party members have selected sardar as the prime minister but because of jawaharlal nehru sardar patel has taken his foot back and allowed nehru to be the prime minister .\nsardar patel was very much in favour nonviolence , but when muslim and jinnah has started direct action plan , he quit the idea of being non violent and sufferer . sardar can be considered more practical man in comparison of gandhi and nehru . very effective convincing power we can observe in sardar , the way he convince gandhi by saying that ,\nthis biographical epic on sardar patel concentrates largely on the last five years of sradars life from 1945 to 1950 when he strode on the national scene , a key figure in wresting indias independence and integrating the nation . the film deals with all the myriad and debilitating problems that india faced in its pre and immediate post independence period , which turned out to be sardar patels finest hour when problem after monumental problem was solved by sardar patel . this film is a tribute to the sardars inestimable contribution to the making of free india , a memory that can stead to face the problems of india today and tomorrow .\nat the end of the movie when gandhiji died , his dead body becomes a symbol of friendship or we can say reunion of sardar and nehru and at the end , after plan crash sardar is sitting in free india from kashmir to kanya kumari .\nthe symbolism of three monkeys has shown in the film as a deep psyche of sardar and nehru and its effect on gandhi . in the scenes of conversations of gandhi with sardar and nehru we could see the focus of camera is first upon white statues of three monkeys and when there are arguments between these three characters we could see the colour of statue is black . it is a deep archetypal symbolism of colour .\nby watching the film we come to know about various fact of sardar and how he was a person and as a freedom fighter . we can see two different personalities of him , as a person he was against gandhi before he met him and abusing him but after one meeting with gandhi he became follower of gandhi .\nthe starting of the movie is very significant , the very first scene is of an office of press , where the reporters are discussing about the condition of nation after independence ; where people wanted old days of britishraj back , and thinking that whatever freedom fighters have done is of no use . in another scene we can see that the photographs of sardar patel are shattered on the floor and they are collecting the photographs as if they are collecting the old memories and their lost identity among people and they decides to make film on sardar patel .\najay devgan is a noted indian bollywood actor , film director , and producer . he is widely considered as one of the most popular actors of hindi cinema who has appeared in over a hundred hindi films .\nthe film , which is about the last five years of the indian leader subhas chandra ' s life , also includes his life ' s story in flashback sequences . however , it does not cover the controversy surrounding bose ' s death .\nthe difference between the two movies may lie in the plot and the fact that vince vaughn ' s sperm donations amounted to a total of 533 kids being born as compared to ayyushman ' s 53 ( guess vince is more fertile ) . but the basic idea of the film , sperm donation , has been inspired by vicky donor .\ntill now ajay acted in 107 movies . in his acting career , ajay\u2019s hits are 13 , semi - hits are 26 , flops are 30 and disasters are 14 . his biggest blockbusters are rajneeti and golmaal 3 . also , devgan owns a production company ajay devgn films which was established in 2000 . in 2008 he debuted as a film director with \u201cu me aur hum\u201d .\nthe sardar\u2019s colleague jagjivan ram had not been so fortunate . he was seriously injured in a boac airliner\u2019s crash in iran shortly before independence in which several people were killed . so he was the only cabinet minister who was unable to attend the independence celebrations on august 15 , 1947 . a brief account of the crash is here ( though it does not mention his name ) :\nfootnote : the maharaja of patiala was one of the passengers on the sardar\u2019s aircraft . earlier , as yuvraj of patiala , he had played one test match for india in 1933 - 34 scoring a fifty . he would have played more tests for india if he was not actively involved in politics . his son captain amarinder singh , continues to be an important force in punjab\u2019s politics .\na little known fact about sardar patel : he had a little adventure when his plane force - landed near shahpura about 65 km north of jaipur on march 29 , 1949 where he was going to attend the inauguration of the new state of rajasthan . he and the other occupants of the aircraft were unhurt , but his whereabouts were not known for a few hours until he reappeared in jaipur . the other passengers included his daughter maniben and the maharaja of patiala .\nan amazing movie on an indian politician , which is probably better than gandhi by sir attenborough . paresh rawal , always a brilliant actor , was outstanding in this movie . the subtleties of politics at that time , the characterization and the attention to minute details makes it a gripping movie from the start to the end . yes , probably every aspect of sardar ' s life was not covered but then it would be unrealistic to do so in a movie . the movie tries to portray the strong political will of the great man , especially during the biggest crisis state of indian history , the partition , and succeeds in it . his quick decisiveness , his ability to convince congress , his differences with nehru on almost all major issues , are all lucidly elaborated and well executed . the movie game me goosebumps , that such a strong man indeed existed on earth . sardar patel was responsible for shaping india as we currently know if . if only he was india ' s first prime minister ( sigh ) . all in all , a must watch for all indians , current politicians included !\nit is 1993 and 21 - year - old lance armstrong ( ben foster ) is making his debut in the tour de france . the sunday times journalist , david walsh ( chris o\u2019dowd ) interviews the young lance over a game of table football . lance is determined and hugely self - confident , as well as extremely competitive . chatting with his press colleagues afterwards , david tells them how cocky lance was . when they ask if he is a contender , david says he absolutely is \u2013 in the one day classic races . on the starting line at a belgian one day race , johan bruyneel ( denis menochet ) tells the young upstart lance that he will never win as others have more red cells in their blood \u2013 they are doping . the race plays out as bruyneel predicted . meanwhile in a lecture hall , dr michele ferrari ( guillaume canet ) is learning about trials of the drug epo . during the race , lance watches hopelessly as three members of one team drop everybody else and easily finish in the top three places . at the lecture , ferrari asks about the use of epo in sport , but is told that would be unethical . ferrari shrugs . at the belgian race press conference , ferrari is on stage with the winners , a member of their team . questioned as to problems with the use of epo , he once again dismisses all concerns . lance tries to convince his hesitant teammate frankie andreu ( edward hogg ) that they have to use epo to be in with a chance . lance approaches ferrari and tells him he wants to join his \u201cprogram\u201d , but the doctor dismisses him telling him that he doesn\u2019t have the right physique to be a good climber . lance buys epo for his team at a pharmacy in switzerland . a year later , back at the belgian one day classic , it is now lance dropping the peloton and winning the race by a huge margin . however after the celebrations , lance starts to cough up blood . his doctor diagnoses testicular cancer , at the third , and final , stage . treatment begins and lance is subjected to gruelling rounds of surgery and chemotherapy . he pushes himself even when at his lowest and tries to walk down the hospital corridor , but collapses into a wheelchair .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nan account of

decides to immerse himself in the freedom struggle , and created awareness in the entire state of gujarat so much so that he was considered eligible for the position of the first prime minister of an independent india . but when the congress working committee supported jawarhal nehru , vallabhai bowed out amidst intense debate on the creation of pakistan by mohammad ali jinnah of the muslim league . while mohandas was not inclined to endorse any move to partition india , mountbatten , the british viceroy , along with jawarharlal , vallabhai , and others were in favor of partitioning india and allowing jinnah to create two pakistan , one each on the borders of rajastan and bengal respectively , in order to prevent any bloodshed . . . .\n4 of 4 people found this review helpful . was this

inspired by hollywood movies . but did you know that this happens the other way around as well ? here is a list of 10 hollywood flicks that were inspired by bollywood films :\nchandran rutnam had to cast academy award winner ben kingsley to pull off naseeruddin shah ' s character from a wednesday . yes , a common man is not just inspired but is an official remake of neeraj pandey ' s masterpiece .\napart from the name ( direct translation ) and the love triangle , the epic scene of the stalker , shahrukh khan , carving k - k - k - kiran ' s name on his chest has also been adapted by james foley in his american thriller , fear .\nwell the best friend may not be a tapori as portrayed by aamir khan , but the basic plot of the movie is a girl caught in a love triangle between her best friend and a movie star .\nthough the plot differs , this famous thriller by quentin tarentino had action sequences which he himself told anurag kashyap were inspired by the kamal hassan - starrer abhay .\npearl harbor was less about pearl harbor but more about a romantic love triangle between two best friends and a girl . plots for both movies are fairly similar and the only difference between the two movies was that sangam had only one friend as a pilot whereas its hollywood counterpart had both .\nthe makers of leap year claimed the movie was not inspired by jab we met . but why don ' t you decide for yourself ? a bubbly , highly - talkative girl on her way to propose to her boyfriend meets a stranger and shares a hotel room with him . they fall in love , get separated but eventually re - unite and get married .\njennifer aniston = sushmita sen & adam sandler = salman khan . yes , that does not really add up , but the basic plots of both movies are very similar .\nboth these movies were inspired by cactus flower ( 1969 ) but with a different storyline .\nwe are all aware that the bollywood movie partner is said to be a copy of hitch . but it looks like hitch itself was inspired by the plot of chhoti si baat where a guy who fails to woo a girl takes help of a man who makes it his profession to help people with similar problems .\nthe last gun makers of longding : an inside story | scoopwhoop presents chase ep . 3\nas he recovers , frankie and his wife betsy ( elaine cassidy ) visit lance in hospital . a doctor arrives for a consultation , and lance tells his friends to stay . lance makes a slow but determined recovery . he travels to ferrara , italy , to the home of dr ferrari . through his illness , he has lost the weight required of him and ferrari is convinced enough by his will to win to take him on . he subjects lance to a huge range of tests , analysis and training exercises so that he is no longer \u2018confined by the limits of his physiology\u2019 and lance reaches peak fitness , getting to grips with some of the substances and doping methods which would propel his career forward along the way . during this time , the so - called \u2018festina affair\u2019 has erupted after a team soigneur has been caught with performance enhancing drugs . this has led to police raids across the tour and the discovery that drug use is rife . ferrari and armstrong laugh at them for getting caught . lance brings bruyneel on board as director , explaining that following his illness the only team that would take him are the very minor us postal team . bruyneel says that they have to go out to win , and lance says that after his cancer he never wants to come so close to losing again . lance , bruyneel and ferrari head up the team\u2019s rigorous training programme , at altitude .\nlance reunites with agent bill stapleton ( lee pace ) who had spotted lance\u2019s commercial potential before he got sick . bill now sees an ever more potent story , especially when lance passionately announces that he wants to start a cancer charity . 4 it is 1999 . david in his press car banters about whether this year really is to be rebranded the tour of renewal , after last year\u2019s drugs farce . they say that armstrong has risen from the dead and as an early supporter david says that he really thinks lance can win a stage . there is jubilation when lance does win the opening stage . david writes about the ensuing mountain stage . wearing the winner\u2019s yellow jersey , lance starts to attack on the galibier climb ; he breaks away with tremendous power leaving the peloton far below . there is excitement in the press room . david alone is silent . lance reaches the finish in sestriere way ahead of the peloton . his previous best in the mountains was 39th . david reminds his colleagues about last year\u2019s doping scandal and that the speeds have gone up this year , but they don\u2019t listen . they reply that the racers wouldn\u2019t be able to hide it . david retorts that lance rode so fast up the steep mountain that he had to use his brakes . he talks to a young rider who , according to his physiology , should be faster than lance and who shares his own suspicions with david . lance then seeks out this young rider and warns him off .\nin the 2003 tour , lance achieves his fifth win . lance is still surreptitiously meeting ferrari , although ferrari has now been found guilty and banned from sports and medical practice . cyclist felippo simeoni has testified against him , so lance approaches him during the next stage and blatantly threatens to destroy him . floyd watches on with increasing discomfort , but lance is not to be deterred . the team have now become blas\u00e9 about their doping : their bus pulls over on a pyrenean roadside for them to hook up to drips in the midst of the cavalcade . only floyd is becoming increasingly uneasy . 5 the uci call a meeting with lance to discuss an epo test . the official appears anxious as he tells lance that the test was borderline but not conclusive . stapleton and lance are obviously not happy but lance seems calm , he says that he will leave it to them to do what is best for the sport . lance prepares for a press conference anticipating the inevitable question about doping . once on stage , he is steely eyed and defensive . he reiterates his mantra that he has never tested positive for performance enhancing drugs . david is in the room and probes lance about the image of cycling and his association with a doctor so heavily embroiled in doping . lance puts him down and dismisses these challenges , telling them all that they all have to fall back in love with cycling .\nfloyd watches on from the back of the room . later he confronts bruyneel about the drugs and about the untouchable lance with his \u201ccancer shield\u201d . unperturbed , bruyneel tells floyd that he can always leave . betsy has now heard about david and the two of them talk . she tells him about the conversation in the hospital room , and david in turn reports this to his editor . now david has started to attract attention . emma contacts him and passes on all the incriminating evidence that she has . cyclist stephen swart also has information to support david\u2019s case . david has now gathered enough evidence for his editor to finally agree that he can publish his story in the newspaper , under the headline \u2018la confidential\u2019 . david is invited to texas by bob hamman ( dustin hoffman ) , an insurer for the us postal team who now has doubts that lance is entitled to the $ 5 million bonuses that he is owed for his tour triumphs . if lance is cheating in races , then he is also cheating him . lance is incensed by david\u2019s story . he rages about emma , who he presumes tipped david off , calling her an \u2019alcoholic whore\u2018 , and gives stapleton a series of commands \u2013 to threaten emma , get frankie to \u2018muzzle\u2018 his wife , \u2019stonewall\u2018 walsh , find out who he travels with and freeze him out , offer david\u2019s american publisher lance\u2019s new book to create a conflict of interest . lance rants that he will not be brought down . whilst lance brings a libel case against the sunday times , an arbitration case is mounted against lance by bob hamman . stapleton threatens frankie , and lance defames him to potential employers . at arbritration , lance arrogantly and angrily deflects all the questions . bruyneel warns off david\u2019s colleagues at the tour . the sunday times loses to lance and pays out \u00a3300 , 000 in damages . hamman also loses to lance and is forced to pay out the $ 5 million bonus money , but he tells stapleton that he knows lance has lied under oath . stapleton smirks that lance will retire and then nothing can touch him .\nthe following tour is won by floyd , but he gets caught using testosterone . although he denies it ( unconvincingly ) , he is stripped of his title . floyd returns to his community . meanwhile lance\u2019s time is now spent making mindless commercials and giving corporate speeches . lance decides that after four years , he is going to make a tour comeback . bruyneel tells him that it is a bad idea - he is too old , it\u2019s vain and they have got away with it until now . but lance won\u2019t quit , he says he is coming back for the fight against cancer .\nfloyd , who is still ostracised from the sport , calls imploring lance to have him on the team , but lance dismisses him - sorry , you got caught . the tour does not go well for lance . he can\u2019t keep pace with the new star on his team , alberto contador , who goes on to win , leaving him in third place . contador then humiliates him further by telling the press that he allowed lance his third position . meanwhile feeling like he has no options , floyd decides to turn himself in to the us anti - doping agency\u2019s travis tygart . he exposes lance , who is finally recognised as the leader in a culture of doping . the tide is finally turning against lance . he receives a lifetime ban from sports . he is a broken man . lance is interviewed by oprah winfrey , david watches with his editor on tv . grim faced and broken , lance finally admits he doped in every tour that he won . we see lance cycle to the remote dead

me ' featuring ne - yo .\n50 cent wrote , directed in stars in a good little film about a young man who has to turn to crime when his mother dies and leaves him to take care of his little brother . the film is far from perfect but the film shows promise , even if 50 cent tries to be a little too flashy at times ( though points for not looking like every other film out there ) the real problem is that the films cast is wildly uneven and it runs from real performances to some were on the other side of\nyou must be joking\n. its the lack of a good acting a couple of roles that really hurts this film . the ability to get through this film will depend upon how forgiving you are . if you can forgive the actors then you ' ll probably like this , if you can the stay away .\nso , perhaps the album will actually be hitting shelves before the year\u2019s out . maybe . possibly . we\u2019ll see . who knows .\ni think this is a brilliant film , yes i agree the visuals etc . are questionable . . . but that ' s not the way i am approaching this film , it shows us a very legitimate view of what life in the ghetto can be like . the film gives you a good sense of emotion with a good attempt to try and put you in the place of clarence , with the death of his mother driving him to revenge and then to participate in his new found skill of being a hit - man he turns from rags to riches and brings his little brother along for the ride . the fact that 50 cent is the producer gives authenticity to the film for those familiar with 50 cents history and the fact he actually came from queens , new york and became involved in the criminal world . the film however is highly predictable , with a brother that is so clever its only a matter of time until we see clarence get shot and shocka take revenge . clifton powell fulfills his role quite well , but admittedly some acting is questionable .\nsubscribe : urltoken trailer about 50 cent : curtis james jackson iii , better known by his stage name 50 cent , is an american rapper , entrepreneur , investor , and actor . this is his official youtube music channel . connect with 50 cent online : visit 50 cent website : urltoken like 50 cent on facebook : urltoken follow 50 cent on twitter : urltoken follow 50 cent on instagram : urltoken buy 50 cent music online : itunes : urltoken amazon : urltoken before i self destruct by 50 cent | trailer | 50 cent music urltoken\n50\u2019s lawyer reed smith moved to dismiss the allegations based on absence of substantial similarity between the book and film . judge chesler agreed and dismissed the complaint .\ni usually like to state the positive prior to the negative . this flic had so little production value that i am at a loss for props . music tracks deserve ups . the fact that he did not make it\nautobiographical\ndeserves ups . i have seen many community college media department films that scored better production points . script , acting , cinematography , lighting , music fades and placement . . . all at\nstudent\nlevel . not just bashing mr . jackson . i have deep appreciation and respect for his part in his audio artistic efforts . the overall concept of the story was not that bad either but i must say that for such a successful / talented audio artist , this film was a disgrace .\nbisd 2 in the works ! ! ! i ' m soooo ready ! good morning ,\ntweeted sasha .\nembarking on a 10 -

' nuff said .\njackson does a good job of creating a character who realistically progresses from just below nothing to becoming a little bit of something , and while the character of clarence\u2019s actions were deplorable , they flowed within the structure of the story and as such whatever sympathy you might\u2019ve had for clarence before he became a killer you don\u2019t lose it after he becomes a killer . morally speaking this is probably not a good thing but thematically speaking is does work . now i gotta point out that i\u2019ve spent some time in the tri - state area and i\u2019ve never seen as much broad daylight , police free murder as i\u2019ve seen in this particular movie . i don\u2019t how good of a hitman clarence actually was since his technique consisted of walking up to people , gun all out in the open , and shooting them in the face in broad daylight , but we\u2019ll go ahead and roll with it .\nnot the typical 50 . i think he just put a bunch of songs together just to put out an album . not his best work .\nfull financial estimates for this film , including domestic and international box office , video sales , video rentals , tv and ancillary revenue are available through our research services . for more information , please contact us at research @ urltoken .\nrecently watched this movie on youtube . so many times i wanted to turn it off because it was so bad , but it was so bad i couldn ' t turn away if that makes any sense . the acting at times was quite comical but i ' ve seen worse . 50 cent ' s acting has improved since\nget rich or die trying\n. however that ' s not saying much as he can still seem a bit stiff and often times can come across as being\nrobotic\nin some scenes . the\nkill\nscenes are pretty authentic and brutal . the story is basic but lacks depth . i ' ve seen worse street movies than this ( belly 2 ) . i will commend 50 cent for directing / writing / acting in this movie . it ' s hard work and for a debut in directing / writing , he did pretty well . i wouldn ' t recommend this movie to anyone , but if your a fan of 50 cent and g unit , then feel free to check it out . 4 . 5 / 10\nalso released with the album and film will be the documentary\n2 turntables and a microphone ,\nwhich explores the murder of run - dmc dj and 50 mentor jam master jay . the trailer was shown at the screening on thursday night as well .\nlike fif\u2019s film and album , the novel follows the story of a rising inner city hustler who looks for redemption . however , the u . s . court of appeals for the third circuit in manhattan has upheld a decision today to dismiss winstead\u2019s claims of copyright infringement .\naside from making a name for himself in the music industry 50 is also finding success on the silver screen . he starred in his first film & apos ; get rich or die trying , & apos ; in 2005 and has since worked with big name actors such as al pacino .\nthe film \u2014 which isn\u2019t autobiographical \u2014 aims to show the complexities of what 50 refers to as \u201curban life\u201d in a new way : \u201cwhen [ movies ] portray certain lifestyles they don\u2019t show cause and effect , \u201d he says . \u201cbut i showed characters under pressure in scenarios where they felt like there were no other options , even though there were . \u201d he adds , \u201cthere are always options . people just usually start to see them while being incarcerated \u2014 for not seeing them in the first place . \u201d\nugly cinematography , piss poor dialogue , clumsy editing , shoddy audio , bad acting , poorly shot action , some very awkward yet self - indulgent sex scenes , and an atrocious plot ( or lack thereof ) with possibly one of the dumbest endings of all time . just incompetent in every way .\nit ' s not a random act of violence ,\n50 also said about jay ' s murder .\npeople just don ' t walk in your studio , shoot and kill you with several other people around , and no one knows anything . i believe the documentary sheds light on it \u2014 a little bit . it creates a clearer picture of what actually happened at that point . people just heard , ' jam master jay got shot .

[ the film ] creates some clarity .\nthe g - unit general & apos ; s first stop will be in boston on monday ( november 2 ) . the film will then travel to philadelphia , washington , d . c . , new york city , atlanta , chicago , san fransisco , los angeles , and houston . the last stop will be on november 13 in dallas .\nour film starts with the character of clarence ( jackson ) chasing poor michael wright up a flight a stairs before capping his ass . but clarence wasn\u2019t always a maniac running around the streets of some city in new jersey shooting people in the face , no sir , he used to be a supreme street balling fool , a solid big brother to his little brother shocka ( elijah williams ) and a loyal son their mother . a couple of bad things then happen to clarence which profoundly affects his life direction . first he blows out his knee which effectively ends his promising basketball career and then tragedy hits the boys as a stray bullet ends the life of their hardworking mother .\ni ' m far from a 50 cent fan but i was overall pretty impressed with this movie . it ' s a very standard hood / crime drama that doesn ' t exactly break much , if any new ground . there ' s lots of macho posturing and blood and even a gratuitous girl on girl scene . the plot kind of stagnates towards the middle of the film but still is able to stay interesting . the acting is one of the more surprised positive aspects . curtis is average - solid as usual but clifton powell really knocks it out of the park and none of the supporting cast is bad enough to ruin the movie , which is usually the case with similar movies . if you ' re a fan of the genre it ' s worth taking a look at if its on showtime or maybe even for a rental if you ' re also a 50 fan .\nsounds good , and i don\u2019t doubt it\u2019s real . but people are going to ask for it so you might as well post the source off topic , but when are the videos you had coming up on your youtube channel ? viewtopic . php ? f = 29 & t = 70212\nthe movie also had some pretty decent humor to it , the main actors , those being jackson and clifton powell , were uniformly good though some of the other performers didn\u2019t come off nearly as well . and while curtis jackson might not have learned how to direct a movie yet he made damn sure that he gave himself a rather lengthy love scene with his sexy starlet sasha delvalle , in addition to sticking in a completely gratuitous girl on girl scene in the middle of his movie . i can\u2019t direct a movie either but i would\u2019ve had the good sense to do that to .\n50 cent directed and starred in this movie because no one else would . the dialogue is terrible . the\nplot\nis disjointed . narration was used very poorly . the sex scene was a joke . the target audience seems to be inner city youth and the message is to stay away from bad influences . i guess when one ' s music career is not going so well one may be forced to find other outlets for one ' s creativity . 50 cent has a lot to learn about film acting , directing , producing . . . . . as a matter of fact , just stay out of it . to the poor souls who are considering watching this on netflix : unless you hate yourself , do not waste your time on this junk .\nit is believed that when vacuum decay eventually takes place , what will be left is a superheated , hard , and extremely dense sphere . some astrophysicists believe the universe , just before the big bang , may have looked like this . the higgs field is thought to have emerged shortly after the big bang . so it may be the driving force which deletes the universe and forces it to start over again .\ni ' m trying to be ahead of the curve because things are changing in music ,\n50 told the audience at the amc loews kips bay 15 theater in manhattan on thursday . members of the audience included red caf\u00e9 , uncle murda , radio personality miss info , dj jazzy joyce and actor / mc albe back .\nwe first heard the news about this almost two years ago but there hasn\u2019t been much development since then . but today , 50 cent\u2019s co - star in the original film , the gorgeous sasha delvalle shared the news on twitter that a part 2 is finally in the works . not much detail is available at this point but we hope story wise , it is better than the first one , which was packaged along with 50\u2019s last album of the same name .\ntheoretical physicist joseph lykken says it would probably take billions of years before we reach that point . lykken hails from the fermi national accelerator laboratory in batavia , illinois . if it did happen though , you wouldn\u2019t know it . one instant you are here , the next , you and everything else is swallowed up by an enormous vacuum bubble , traveling at light speed in every direction . humanity would never see it coming .\nit sounds like a plot from a comic book or a sci -

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

up scheme . that moment never came , and i can ' t help but feel that ' s because johnson and boles didn ' t do enough research on the type of characters who would , in the ' 60s , leap at the chance to fake the moon -

dollar car chase , mind you , requires more than the will of one man ' s creative aspirations . johnson was afforded the opportunity by lions gate entertainment , which will distribute operation avalanche in the united states this year . that ' s a rare privilege for an independent filmmaker from toronto ; few reach escape velocity and make it stateside . johnson is of course well aware of that \u2013 and made the decision himself to premiere at sundance rather than locally , at the toronto international film festival , which had invited him to screen the film this past september .\noperation avalanche is a very difficult beast to describe , but an easy one to love . set in the late 1960s during the simultaneous cold war and space race between the u . s . and russia , it\u2019s structured like a documentary within a documentary , but it plays like a vintage espionage thriller or 1970s paranoia classic like the parallax view .\nhe definitely has a point . tiff and telefilm could both be doing a lot better by emerging filmmakers ; johnson\u2019s sparked a conversation the industry very badly needs to have , and i\u2019m really glad he\u2019s done this . but now that operation avalanche is playing in town , we have to shift the focus back to the movie , not its maker .\nacross the walls of the zapruder offices sprawl pages of script notes and storyboards for projects in the works \u2013 bigger and more ambitious projects than even operation avalanche , though of the details i have for now been sworn to secrecy . but i do wonder if johnson isn ' t concerned about having his intentions so plainly on display . not a chance .\nnecessary to be a late - night talk radio / dorm room smoke session favorite : a super - secret government organization ( probably the cia ) enlists a filmmaker ( possibly stanley kubrick ) to fake footage of us astronauts on the moon . matt johnson milks this preposterous idea for drama and laughs in * operation avalanche , * which opened at sundance last week .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\njohnson : i think it had to start as something linked to a new film , but hopefully the conversation keeps going .\nwe ' re thrilled to be in good company at the guanajuato international film festival , mexico : urltoken - july 23rd .\nucla film & television archive , in conjunction with the sundance institute and others , has digitally preserved and / or has had new prints created for the following films , which premiered at the sundance film festival and will be shown again in january .\nbut here ' s the crazy part : the makers of\noperation avalanche\nsay they really did lie to nasa so they could gain access to the johnson space center in houston , texas . there , they told nasa that they were filming a real documentary about the moon landing . instead , the filmmakers created a hilarious but fake documentary about faking the moon landing .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nafter\nthe dirties\npicked up the grand jury prize at the slamdance film festival , the 31 - year - old toronto - based filmmaker and his crew thought about expanding the model they created for the first film and make a period documentary .\noperation avalanche is , in the end , a clever entertainment , but all the work that johnson , boles , and co . have put in \u2014 the savvy recreations and incorporation , the documentary - style filming , not to mention plugging into a world of conspiracies both imagined and real \u2014 gives it extra resonance . for what emerges is a portrait of a time period when our whole relationship with the filmed image was beginning to change . americans had already seen a president shot on tv . they would soon see men walking on the moon , even as they also saw images of death and destruction in vietnam . the earnest enthusiasm with which operation avalanche begins , and the paranoia and fear toward which it proceeds , chart the course of an entire nation .\nand operation avalanche is\u2026 well , it\u2019s fine . conceptually , it\u2019s pretty nifty , taking the form of a found - footage conspiracy thriller about a pair of junior cia agents ( johnson and his dirties co - star owen williams , once again using their own names for their characters ) who attempt to out a russian mole at nasa and wind up faking the apollo 11 moon landing .\nthe one thing i really like about operation avalanche that really kind of sets it apart from other indie flicks is that it feels like a lot of indie directors are trying to go for this darker , nihilistic or pessimistic tone , and there\u2019s such an air of optimism in this film . especially with your character \u2013 no matter what obstacle you put in his way , he\u2019s going to get it accomplished , which \u2013 after speaking with you a few times \u2013 seems like just an extension of who you really are .\nmm : especially [ documentaries ] from the period , especially the look of the film , all those seminal docs from the 60s .\nthe sequence is simply delightful , and it\u2019s operation avalanche at its very best : clever , funny , and so in love with movies themselves that it nearly forces you to smile . those kind of flashes come throughout the film \u2014 it may be the only found footage movie i\u2019ve ever seen where they show somebody actually cutting the footage you\u2019re watching \u2014 but that delight starts to fall away as the team begins to suspect that they\u2019re being hunted by russian agents , or even worse , double - crossed by the cia because they know too much .\nwhat they\u2019re really doing is trying to unmask a russian mole within nasa , but in the course of their sleuthing , they discover nasa has been hiding an earth - shaking fact : the space agency is nowhere near ready to land a man on the moon , not in time to meet the end - of - decade deadline set by late president john f . kennedy , whose bold challenge opens operation avalanche .\njust don ' t ask them to give you justifications for the more implausible footage ostensibly captured by the film - within - the - film ' s\ndocumentarians .\nput on the spot , johnson would probably just invent an elaborate , if entertaining , set of lies .\nthe nominations for the 2017 canadian screen awards were announced tuesday , honouring the best in canada\u2019s film and television industries over the past year .\ncopyright \u00a9 2005 -

buff character he plays in the movie ( a character named , appropriately enough , matt johnson ) . \u201cwhat piece of cinema is more famous than neil armstrong walking on the moon ? \u201d the only other possible contender is probably the one that gave johnson\u2019s production company its name : zapruder films .\nturning lack of sophistication into a virtue is a skill that the filmmaking hyphenate matt johnson has in abundance . three years ago , he directed and starred in his first feature , \u201cthe dirties , \u201d a shrewd commentary on the warped relationship between image and reality . now he and his prime collaborator , owen williams , are back to poke that beast some more with \u201coperation avalanche , \u201d a cold war comedy - thriller pulsing with paranoia .\nthe film is directed by matt johnson , who co - wrote the script with josh boles . johnson previously directed \u201cthe dirties , \u201d about two high school best friends who make a film about getting revenge on school bullies only for one of them to take it more seriously than the other .\njohnson , who recently received a master ' s degree in film at york university in toronto , chatted on the phone from his hometown this week .\nvilleneuve\u2019s next film is the hotly anticipated blade runner 2049 with ryan gosling and harrison ford . presenting the prize , mckellar joked that the director\u2019s last film , the science - fiction drama arrival , was really about bilingualism , and an alien race that comes to earth and forces us to learn their language .\nwhile i prefer matt johnson ' s more comedic work , operation avalanche ' s more dramatic approach is pretty effective . it ' s clear a lot of thought and care went into developing the world and logic . the visual aesthetic , too , is pretty remarkable , especially considering the fact it was filmed with a blackmagic pocket cinema camera - and the amount of ' illegal ' filming that they actually got away with is also pretty impressive to learn about .\ningeniously using his low budget to address his ambitions , johnson has directed , co - written ( and starred in ) a unique science - fiction film .\nfor his first film , 2013 ' s\nthe dirties ,\nwhich revolved around two high school friends making a film about the school ' s bullies that goes awry , matt johnson wanted to make it so authentic he enrolled in a high school and convinced students and teachers he was an actual student .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ni left the film thinking of shakespeare\u2019s famous line : \u201cthere are more things in heaven and earth , horatio , than are dreamt of in your philosophy . \u201d\ncongratulations to the class of 2018 ! above is a snapshot of the thesis film projects completed by the this year\u2019s graduating class . this reel features the narrative , animation / visual effects and documentary projects created by the 2018 graduates of dodge college of film and media arts at chapman university . this video was compiled and edited by\nit\u2019s very hard to convince people of that when you\u2019re dreading the result . and in many ways , operation avalanche talks about where that can lead , and the really dark , awful places that can take people like me . which it did \u2013 the story of that movie is very much the story of that movie getting made . but i think that real life is pretty optimistic and buoyant , and when movies come out that try to say it\u2019s not , i try to reject that .\nultimately , the movie falls apart for the same reason so many other found - footage films do : it wants to tell a bigger story than the premise allows . watching documentary footage of johnson and his team building a fake lunar rover on a soundstage makes complete sense within the framework of the film ; accepting that somebody\u2019s going to keep a camera rolling when people\u2019s lives are at stake , or when the characters find themselves in a high - speed car chase with bullets whizzing by , simply doesn\u2019t . if i\u2019m thinking about the feasibility of the style , i\u2019m not inside the world of the movie \u2014 and operation avalanche kicked me out time and again .\nwe did a full color grade on the digital and then our film artist did multiple prints on different film stocks to get different [ looks ] . we did physical damage . i took a piece of the movie , hung it on my bike and rode my bike around the university campus so that it would get all destroyed .\nthis apollo - era would - be suspense - thriller mockumentary is more an exercise in ' look how film - school cool and clever we are ' than anything else .\nin 1967 , four undercover cia agents were sent to nasa posing as a documentary film crew . what they discovered led to one of the biggest conspiracies in american history .\nit\u2019s not the cleanest of set - ups , and the with the actors playing roles named after themselves and the film we\u2019re watching ostensibly a documentary made by the group\u2019s own team , the movie starts eating its own tail pretty early on . but operation avalanche is nevertheless a blast in the early stages , blurring the lines between reality and fiction as the duo first set up shop at nasa , then start outlining how they\u2019d actually fake footage from the moon . johnson isn\u2019t terribly strong as an actor , particularly in the heavier dramatic scenes , but he nails the overeager , selfish buffoon aspect of his character , and is immensely entertaining even while his character alienates the members of his team .\nit seemed awfully easy to for you and your crew to get permission from nasa to film there by telling them you were college students doing a documentary on the apollo mission .\nthese kids are similar to our film\u2019s characters . they\u2019re just guys messing around with a movie camera , which is why that footage of them goofing around in the street and waving to people fit so well in our film . because filmmakers were so serious during that era , very little footage of that kind of jovial , loose camera stuff exists on 16mm .\nwhile i was on a shooting hiatus with my last film , in football we trust , i lived in israel / palestine for 7 months on a rotary ambassadorial scholarship , which i had been awarded after graduating from chapman university . while there , i taught film , mentored local filmmakers , assisted ngos launch media advocacy projects , and continued my post - graduate\nit sounds like comedy , and the film has many funny moments \u2014 but there are also many frightening ones , when other players in the scenario set out to silence any squealers .\nmuch like the characters they portray in the film , johnson and his team gained access to nasa under false pretenses \u2013 they posed as a documentary crew shooting a film about the apollo missions . when you see their onscreen counterparts inside mission control , those aren\u2019t sets \u2013 they\u2019re the actual locations , and in most cases the crew had only a single take to get the scene just right . the result is an engrossing and entertaining film about one of the oldest conspiracy theories in america , and the ambitious cia agents who managed to pull it off .\nthey just do a fantastic job of showing how the moon landing could have been convincingly faked to a pre - internet world \u2014 the film crew even built a realistic lunar landing module .\naa : there\u2019s that interesting sequence with bracket saying he\u2019s going to shoot down apollo 11 . matt [ johnson ] buried that film because it\u2019s the first thing his character buries in the movie .\njohnson : that was his big project , he did all the vfx , there are about 200 effects shots in the film , but that was his baby . we had already gone to shepperton studios and broke in and shot those scenes illegally . that was the first film we rolled , was us breaking into that studio . we shot it when we were over there for the uk release of\nmelanie duke ( bfa / da \u201917 ) started a new role with 20th century fox as a creative content coordinator . erika cohn\u2019s ( bfa / fp \u201909 ) film will receive its la theatrical release on april 20th at the laemmle monica film center . erika will be around afterwards for a q & a . jj englert ( bfa / crpr \u201915 ) has started a company , industry jump ,\nhowie mandel hosts the 2017 canadian screen awards , to be broadcast live from toronto\u2019s sony centre for the performing arts on sunday , march 12 . here is the complete list of film and television nominees :\nscreen international is the essential resource for the international film industry . subscribe now for monthly editions , awards season weeklies , access to the screen international archive and supplements including stars of tomorrow and world of locations .\nthe group also presented quebec director denis villeneuve with the tfca 20th anniversary award for excellence , recognizing his record three wins of the best canadian film prize , for 2009\u2019s polytechnique , 2010\u2019s incendies , and 2013\u2019s enemy .\ncanada\u2019s richest film prize has been won by toronto filmmaker hugh gibson for his documentary the stairs , a penetrating and sympathetic portrayal of the city\u2019s regent park neighbourhood , focusing on three staff members at its community health centre .\nwe never told them ,\nsaid matt johnson , the director and lead actor .\nwe invited them to the screening of the movie at the south by southwest film festival , but no one ever came .\neven though we were using a lot of older stocks , they would have been from the \u201980s , not the \u201960s . film technology has improved to the point where film is much better now than it was in the \u201960s , so we had to do some degrading early on in the first color pass . shift some of the blacks a little toward red . things that these \u201960s films naturally do . conor was huge for that .\nthat was our first big challenge . we started shooting the color footage on 16 and then we started realizing that we were shooting so much footage \u2014 we were going through 10 , 000 feet a day . we realized we could get a film artist to [ reprint digital footage ] on 16mm . conor fisher used a lab and did a one - to - one exchange of every single frame of the film . it took him four months .\nmj : but i don ' t think many people watching the film are going to read those things instantly . because on the surface it ' s sort of a conspiracy thriller , as opposed to a criticism of government .\nmj : yeah , that was pretty complicated . and that was the biggest challenge technically going into this movie was to make it look like we shot on 16mm . so we did everything . the opening of the movie is actually shot on black -

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

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

1 switch into the volume knob ensures the american elite tele looks and functions just like your favorite teles from the past .\nok , i am basically a fender guy , a strat here or there and a thinline tele . the mystic black is much different than the way it looks in the pics . very deep color with sparkle , beautiful . the neck is very comfortable . this is a great guitar . and as usual , brendan did a great job .\ndave ' s abduction is an act of inexplicable , almost metaphysical evil , and this story of guilt , grief and vengeance grows out of it like a mass of dark weeds . at its starkest , the film , like the novel by dennis lehane on which it is based , is a parable of incurable trauma , in which violence begets more violence and the primal violation of innocence can never be set right . ' ' mystic river ' ' is the rare american movie that aspires to - - and achieves - - the full weight and darkness of tragedy .\nfender ' s american elite telecaster solidbody electric guitar is a great instrument for pickers who love the classic platform but need a wider palette of tones . you ' ll get the familiar twang and cut teles are known for , but without the 60 - cycle hum , thanks to a pair of 4th - generation fender noiseless single - coil pickups . an s - 1 switch adds new pickup voicings to the american elite tele . and features such as a 9 . 5\n\u201314\ncompound - radius fretboard make these guitars effortless to play . the fender american elite telecaster is the future of one of history ' s most popular workhorse guitars .\nit is in many ways eastwood ' s tightest movie for some time , and certainly his darkest since unforgiven ; indeed , the ending offers as corrosive an assessment of the limits of american justice as anything in his career .\na runaway young man in beasts of burden can understand and speak animal . the only reason he gives is that his\npeople\ndo that too , and given his tattoos and explanations about them , he ' s native american .\n, played by famous native american actor ned romero . he ' s a local college professor of agriculture who at times tells of what his ancestors taught him and plays up the role , but then averts it , usually with snark .\nthe elves in elf quest are arguably modeled on native americans and are literally magical . the elves are a varied bunch , and none of them are strict fantasy counterpart cultures . the sun folk seem vaguely native american ( maybe central american ) , and the go backs clearly show some eskimo / inuit traits . the wolfriders seem a little more like european myths of forest - dwelling elves , and they ' re certainly drawn to look european . the gliders are kind of unclassifiable .\nan episode of so weird takes place on a reservation and includes a tale of the coyote spirit who helps those lost in the woods . at the end of the episode , the coyote turns into the native american who told the story .\nsee the episode where lois loses the car to corrupt native american casino owners . they realize they are being jerks , give the car back and wonder what the hell is wrong with them . the fact they are very rich is a comfort .\nwhile averted in one must fall : 2097 in that raven , the ( apparently ) native american character is a purely urban kickboxer and bodyguard to the big boss , he seems to somehow have become a magical native american by the sequel game , appearing as the boss of the first tournament with his now - well - known mystical defensive power . . . which also protects the robot he ' s remotely piloting ( omf doesn ' t do flesh - and - blood combat ) . ookay .\nthis gives several types of spiritual paths & the people who who are living them . sadly , the\nwitch\npath , the magical path is portrayed is the only one where you glimpse the\nmystical freedom\nand someone living it . the other examples were not as certain in their ultimate outcome . being a mystic is a vocation of total surrender to love . it is a calling . those shone were trying , but need a spiritual mentor for direction . i recommend those who are interested in\namerican mystics\nto watch this & see what you think of the examples presented . but it is not satisfying as it could have been .\nin 1970 , a young musician walked away from the american dream of rock ' n ' roll stardom . he sold all his possessions and moved from the suburbs of new york to the foothills of the himalayas in search of happiness and a little - known saint .\nin the 60s , dc had a short lived comic about prez rickard , the first teen president . prez ' s longstanding friend , companion and fbi head was eagle free , a native american who continually dressed the part and was surrounded by a group of animals .\naquaman archnemesis ocean master was both half - native american and an evil sorcerer in the post - crisis continuity , yet subverts the trope\u2014his magic powers come not from his native heritage , but from having sold his soul to the ( very christian ) demon lord neron .\nunsun has signed a worldwide deal with mystic production ( home label of behemoth and riverside , among others ) . the band , who released their debut album ,\nthe end of life\nin september 2008 via century media records , has entered studio this spring to record sophomore album . vocal tracks were recorded in studio x in olsztyn and soon after unsun moved to hertz studio ( behemoth , vader , decapitated ) to record all instruments .\nas with most murder mysteries , the densely woven narrative of ' ' mystic river ' ' is a skein of coincidences and somewhat implausible connections . what gives the movie its extraordinary intensity of feeling is the way mr . eastwood grounds the conventions of pulp opera in an unvarnished , thickly inhabited reality . there are scenes that swell with almost unbearable feeling , and the director ' s ambitions are enormous , but the movie almost entirely avoids melodrama or grandiosity .\nin deadlands , native americans and those who have been welcomed into their tribes are the only characters eligible for guardian spirits or leaning rituals and favors from the spirits , at least in the american west . ( oddly enough , native americans who had been raised by white people could not learn these things unless they became a tribe ' s blood brother later in life , which makes it sound like your\nmagical native american\n- ness can be revoked ; as it ' s a function of religion , not birthright , this is probably intentional . )\nthe tribes and spiritual motifs continue in the successor game , werewolf the forsaken , but the native american themes are downplayed . furthermore , the werewolves in this game aren ' t so much protectors of the spirit world as they are protectors of humanity from a rapacious spirit world .\nthis was a major disappointment . i was so excited to be following three american mystics , however , i couldn ' t get through half of the documentary because it focused on things unrelated to the purpose of this film , and i had a hard time finding these people noteworthy .\nin the california voodoo game , black elk is the army team ' s principal spell - caster , and his magic - user / cleric character is patterned on his native american heritage . outside the game , he ' s just an ordinary mid - 21st - century military man .\nin the buffy the vampire slayer thanksgiving episode\npangs\n, buffy faces a native american vengeance spirit who can shapeshift , and summon ghostly native american warriors . arguably this is an aversion / subversion / deconstruction . magic is hardly limited to native americans in the buffyverse , and this trope is sort of examined\u2014willow feels sympathetic to the spirit since it ' s avenging legitimate wrongs , while everyone else points out that , you know , it ' s still a murderous vengeance spirit that kills people and gave xander magical syphilis . they wind up destroying it at the end .\nbut mr . penn , as gifted and disciplined as any of his precursors , makes them all look like , well , actors . he has purged his work of any trace of theatricality or showmanship while retaining all the directness and force that their applications of the method brought into american movies .\nwhateley academy , who actually possesses the spirit of the first shaman . as a subversion , there ' s also a superpowered mutant native american at the school who isn ' t magical : skinwalker has the power to possess people and take over their bodies , but isn ' t a shaman .\nwerewolf wasn ' t the only game in the old world of darkness to work the native american motifs . mage the ascension had the dreamspeakers , a mystical tradition made up of shamans of all types ( aborigines , native americans , african bushmen , even modern technoshamans ) who showed a mastery over the spirit world . changeling the dreaming had the nunnehi , changelings who took after native american myths the same way the kithain took after european ( and african ) myths , and whose relationship with the kithain ranged from\nfriendly , but keep your distance\nto\nfucking white man .\nthe wolves tribe of digital devil saga wear stereotypical native - american clothes , can shape shift , use magic , are big on honor , and have unwavering loyalty to their leader . the last two can be excused by all but one person in the game world doing it as well however .\ndharma and greg has an old native american who shows up to die in their apartment building because it was built over an ancient burial mound . he returns in at least one later episode as a ghost / spirit guide - or possibly a dream . it ' s up to the viewer to decide .\na recent acquisition by the library has links to both the local area and our own collections . the document pictured below , a mediterranean passport , pertains to the ship orris of new york in 1809 . the orris was built in old mystic with christopher leeds as the master carpenter . she measured 249 tons and was 87 feet in length . the signature at the bottom right belongs to the collector of the port of new york , david gelston , whose digitized collection of papers is in our library .\naverted in mans favorite sport , john screaming eagle talks in stereotypical indian talk , hinting that he knows things only indians know , until he ' s found out , then he becomes a normal american man in speech and ' knowledge ' , and willingness to help out his fellow man - for a price .\nparodied in ntsfsdsuv . alphonse bearwalker is an alaskan african - american / inuit , which , according to him , is why he can telepathically communicate with his dog . his father alonzo is ridiculously spiritual , claiming that he can read trees like books ( and furthermore that they ' re better than real books anyway ) .\na searching and respectful inquiry into the\nother ways\nof american spirituality , far outside of the familiar mainstream : the lakota sun dance , modern - day spiritualism , and the pagan revival . this beautifully photographed documentary poetically conveys the hope and desperation of people turning away from consumer culture in an impassioned pursuit of meaning .\na few episodes of roswell feature an elderly native american called river dog , who leads a ceremony in a smoke hut that allows him to identify the alien present . he also knows how to heal said alien when the ritual makes him sick . in all fairness , he learned this from the last alien who showed up .\nthe metaplot for shadowrun has native americans as the first to use magic properly after the awakening , with the reasoning being that they never really left it behind in the first place . the circumstances around this are less pleasant than it sounds , as most of the native american population were rounded up into prison camps after protesting their land being seized by the us government on behalf of the nascent mega corps . their magical talent manifested a year later and provided them a much needed edge in escaping and in the brief war that followed , and resulted in the fracturing of the us and canada , and the emergence of the native american nations as regional powers .\nromeo in no songs for the dead is native american , and inherited his magical powers due to his father being a messenger of the primordial , an entity who is also the source of black magic . he does not wear any of the stereotypical clothing or any warpaint , though he does go around bare - chested most of the time .\nnative american man : you white boys are all the same . i ' ve got dark skin , so i must dance with the bears and listen to the spirit of the wind ! i got news for you , pal : i work for a living , i ' m a baptist and i ' m proud of it ! oh , and by the way , i have only one word for snow . . . snow !\nfender has been known for their iconic neck profiles since the beginning . the american elite telecaster continues the tradition with a comfortable contour that ' s not too thin or wide . the 9 . 5\n\u201314\ncompound fretboard radius ensures comfort while chording , and it flattens out up high for unimpeded string bending and vibrato . and the neck ' s rolled fretboard edges feel like a well - worn guitar as soon as you open the case .\nkublai is studying to be a medium and healer in the spiritualist church . chuck is a young lakota man whose family has reclaimed traditional lakota ways . morpheus is a priestess and teacher in the american - founded feri witchcraft tradition . the director does not give us an in - depth , scholarly introduction to their beliefs but instead invites us to sit with them companionably . we visit with these three people and experience their energy , their passion and their yearning .\ncharles delint has an entire collection of novels and short stories of urban fantasy based on the idea that the various native american spirits ( coyote , raven , etc ) are still around and active in people ' s lives , particularly in one town . further , once you encounter one of these individuals , their magic is\ncontagious ,\nand you will almost certainly encounter more and become more aware of the magic surrounding everyday life than you probably wanted to be .\nsubverted in the plot of the mystery science theater 3000 - mocked film puma man . an aztec gives the hero a magic belt that gives him all the powers of a puma , including flying . subverted because the actual native american is a badass normal and the\nmagic\nis alien super - technology . despite having the belt and super - powers , the hero stays only one notch above utter coward , while his aztec sidekick does all the work of actually defeating the bad guy .\nin prey 2006 , aliens start their invasion of the earth with a reservation and the main character ends up using spirit magic to fight them off . the main character ' s grandpa fits the bill better , though . before getting abducted , the hero thought all that stuff was just so much eyewash . the\n( frequently native american ) character who thinks all that stuff is hoohah but has to take on his grandfather ' s shamanic mantle\nis a trope in its own right .\nfollowing the release of the film , mar continued to study american witchcraft . she published the book witches in america , both praised by the press and criticized by the pagan community . her trips into the communities and inner lives of fringe religious practitioners pose real questions about the nature of belief , and she takes these questions seriously . her work seems to be motivated by genuine curiosity and empathy and is not contrived , too rare for recent religion docs . mar will appear at the screening .\nin the elder scrolls , as seen in morrowind ' s bloodmoon expansion and skyrim ' s dragonborn dlc , the noble savage skaal people of the frozen , inhospitable island of solstheim . they have much in common culturally with various native american and inuit tribes , including their speech patterns . their magic is of a shamanic / druidic nature as well . they live in harmony with nature , making sure to never waste by , for example , needlessly killing for sport or chopping down live trees for firewood .\nin the dcu , silver deer , an erstwhile firestorm villain from the cherokee nation , used magical shapeshifting abilities . she even\nenlisted\na former firestorm adversary , black bison , to help her scheme . she also had luck powers . as christopher bird said ,\nher powers are turning into spirit animals and super - gambling skills . if her weakness turned out to be liquor , how wrong would that be ?\nthe black bison is himself a native american with an impressive command of magic .\nin the old world of darkness game werewolf the apocalypse , the garou follow a tribal structure , with two of the tribes , the uktena ( exploratory mystics ) and the wendigo ( warriors who still weren ' t over colonization ) being native american . then again , the game also had tribes of urban primitives , amazons , irish warrior - poets , and egyptian travelers , so it was a bit of a grab bag . also , werewolves gained their particular form of magic , gifts , by making deals with spirits .\nmar ' s film is lyrical , drenched in a purely american atmosphere of rural and rustic wonders and meditations . her directorial hand is , at most , subtle ; she gives the utmost regard for her subject ' s extracted lifestyle , but nothing feels forced or generally shaped to fit an agenda . it is not uniformly informative either , opting out of any talking heads or experts chiming in or rounding out the faith ' s histories or current climates . all we know is from what we witness in these quietly unfolding tales .\nonboard the american elite telecaster is a duo of fender ' s 4th - generation noiseless single - coil pickups . these improved designs deliver the telecaster ' s familiar punch and twang , but the noiseless circuitry eliminates unwanted signal noise and hum , making the guitar ideal for live performance and touring . the s - 1 switch \u2014 embedded in the volume knob \u2014 adds new pickup combinations for additional tele tones . and the alder , maple , and rosewood construction is a tried - and - true combination that has proven itself for decades .\ntoyed with in the wonderfalls episode\ntotem mole .\nit is subverted through most of the episode , when jaye tries to force the utterly unremarkable accountant grandson of a tribe ' s recently - deceased medicine woman into his grandmother ' s former role , though every\ntest\nhe undergoes signifies that jaye herself is the rightful successor . in the end , however , the brilliant native american trial lawyer ( who serves as an antagonist through most of the episode ) experiences a heat exhaustion - fueled vision of the medicine woman and becomes her tribe ' s new spiritual leader .\nwhen the revenge western seraphim falls veers into magic realism in the third act , a native american man played by wes studi appears to each of the two main characters by a water hole in the middle of a barren desert . he trades pierce brosnan ' s character some water for the horse that brosnan had stolen from liam neeson , then gives neeson the horse for free . when neeson gives him money anyway , he discards the coins . his name is listed as charon in the credits , and the film suggests that he ' s a demon who is engineering a final confrontation between the two nemeses .\nthe simpsons had an episode where bart is shown his somewhat unpleasant future ( as a drunken , washed - up rock star living with ralph wiggum ) by the head of a native american casino after he tries to sneak into the casino in the great gabbo ' s dummy case . at first , this is a double subversion : when they meet , bart is very surprised that the casino owner knows his name and thinks he ' s this trope , before revealing he knows it because homer put bart down as collateral while taking out a second mortgage on the house . he then reveals he really is this trope .\ni have been playing guitar for well over 40 years and have been a longer owner of fender products . i owned and traded in a 2016 american standard telecaster which quite frankly i never liked playing . it just didn ' t have a good feel to it . i sold it to buy the elite and to put it simply , this is the best quality fender i have ever played . the feel is quality and comfortable . the action and intonation out of the box , exceptional . the playability and sound is outstanding . these points coupled with sweetwater ' s service has made the decision a very good one .\nin the swedish ios / android game last hope td , you control a native american tribe fighting zombies with bows , spears , axes and the occasional magical help from nature spirits . while the initial heroes of your tribe are an indian princess and a brave , you can do an iap to get a caucasian ultra - tech sniper and engineer . the more palatable part of this game ( besides having native americans as the main heroes ) is that your tribe are engineering geniuses with access to high tech and magic so while their first turrets are basically automated crossbows , you will fairly quickly be researching machine guns , cannons and golems for turrets .\nsubverted somewhat in an episode of bones . the investigative team is being introduced to a case by a small - town sheriff who mentions the remains were found by a native american who will be assisting in the investigation . when someone asks if he ' s a\nindian tracker\nthe sheriff remarks sarcastically that since the man is a park ranger and found the remains in the course of his normal duties he\ndidn ' t have to use any of his indian powers .\nlater on that same sheriff asks the ranger if an apparent indian ritual site is legitimate , to which he replies ,\nwhat am i , a shaman ?\nmainline 40k also has the native american - themed space marine chapter known as the raven guard . it can be a bit hard to tell by looking at them as a genetic mutation results in them having albinistic skin . it does give a striking look in combination with their inky tribal facepaint , though . there ' s also the space marine chapter known as the rainbow warriors . the name is inspired by what is usually claimed to be an indian myth ( usually identified as either hopi or cree ) , but was in fact invented wholesale by two evangelical christians in 1962 , and was , if anything , a bald - faced attack at indian belief systems .\nwar of the worlds featured an episode set on a native american reservation , complete with shaman , who uses magical powers ( assisted by what may be an alien artifact ) to destroy an alien ship . he also manages , depending on your interpretation of the final scene , to play into a much older and more offensive stereotype about native americans as dishonest traders , as he gives blackwood the alien crystal he had used in his\nmagic\n, but then later reveals to his son that he ' d actually substituted a different crystal for no clear reason . ( the scene is not entirely clear on this point ; it may actually be that he had several identical crystals ) .\nshe hulk ' s native american boyfriend wyatt wyngfoot turns out to have a rich magical heritage . initially just human torch ' s muggle buddy from college ( a great athlete at the school , he was an expy of famed olympic athlete jim thorpe ) , he had no magic powers . he claimed to be good with dogs but couldn ' t handle lockjaw . on the other hand , this trope was averted by scalphunter and harpoon , two members of the marauders , opponents of the x - men . neither one did anything magical , one being a technology - builder and the other being able to charge things with explosive energy , and like the rest of the marauders were evil .\nin december 2006 , as part of the very last gimmick he performed before mysteriously disappearing from wwe , tatanka , enraged at having supposedly been repeatedly cheated out of in - ring victories by biased officials , tapped deep into his native american psyche and gained access to a\nvengeful warrior\npersona that induced him to paint his face white and draw a black horizontal band over his eyes , and to talk in a dark , angry , mystical manner . he had only two matches in wwe after that , but the first match was a draw and the second resulted in a victory for him ( his first victory in many weeks ) , suggesting that he somehow drew on supernatural power to win his final match .\ntonto has elements of this in the lone ranger , especially in his manner of dress and during his plot exposition . subverted later on when john meets the rest of the comanche , who inform him that tonto is insane and the native american myths that he ' s been reciting throughout the film are just that , simply myths . ( even so , there ' s something . . . off about tonto . he seems to know when\nnature is out of balance\njust from observing animal behavior . then there ' s that spooky makeup on his face that makes him look like a paleolithic street mime , and that never comes off ( even when he ' s underwater ! ) until he decides to take it off .\nonken said of the victory , \u201ci am proud of the skill the american ethanol team displayed at the gloc shootout . we have had an excellent run of success out on the water lately , and we\u2019re looking forward to what we can do next month at the lake of the ozarks shootout . i have been involved in the agriculture and recycling business for decades , so i know how important ethanol is to the farming community , and how important it is to all americans . it\u2019s a clean - burning fuel , so it\u2019s good for the environment , and , as evidenced by how our boat has performed , it clearly has potent engine performance benefits . ethanol is a fuel that delivers power , performance , clean air , and savings\u2014it\u2019s the smart choice for people everywhere . \u201d\nin the ravenloft campaign , the nightmare lands are home to the abber nomads , primitive humans who have a culture and general appearance similar to north american tribes . ( their language is described as\nabsolutely unique\nand unlike\nany tongue spoken by any other race in any known land\n, hinting that they may have origins with actual native americans , like the inhabitants of odiarre , whose language is described the same way , as it is gothic earth ' s equivalent of italian . ) while they can ' t outright use magic ( unless they gain levels as druids , and some do ) living in the nightmare lands have made their minds tough enough to withstand a place that tends to drive visitors insane ; they don ' t dream , and can distinguish illusion from reality with ease . ( one source gives a flat 25 % chance of such magics failing against them , while other sources say it depends on several factors . )\nthe two main characters of dead man play around with this a bit . the first , nobody , is a native american but there really isn ' t that much mystical about him other than the fact that he ' s an indian who hasn ' t been westernized ( despite spending time in england ) . william blake on the other hand is a fairly normal white guy until he ' s shot . he becomes more and more mystical seeming as the bullet works its way closer and closer to his heart , or at least nobody ' s view of him does . the trope is played fairly straight in that nobody believes his companion to be that william blake , somehow returned to the world in an almost messianic capacity ( in the original meaning , at least ) :\nyou were a poet and a painter , and now you are a killer of white men !\nthen he makes it his personal mission to help blake in his journey to the spirit world\u2014\nthe place where william blake is from .\nthe story of chuck particularly impressed me . i am vaguely aware that there are first nations people who are trying to reclaim their own lost traditions , some whose traditions are as lost and murky as native european traditions . to actually hear someone speak of going back to those traditions and claim them as their birthright generations after they were outlawed and uncommon in communities long converted to abrahamic faiths is truly inspirational . his connection to his family and community gives me hope . i felt honored that he shared his story with us through this film .\nkublai is the person i felt i had the most in common with . he is the youngest person featured and his searching and hunger for spiritual depth and connection reminds me of the teenager i was , and the spark of yearning that still lives within me . while i felt disconnected from his values and some of his statements , i had a lot of compassion for his yearning . yearning for something better , higher , more authentic in young people is something to encourage and support .\nget the latest from patheos by signing up for our newsletters . try our 3 most popular , or select from our huge collection of unique and thought - provoking newsletters .\nfrom time to time you will also receive special offers from our partners that help us make this content free for you . you can opt out of these offers at any time .\n, test screenings , filming guns in washington d . c . and the trump administration\nback to one podcast : keith poulson on developing as an actor in the ny indie film scene .\nclick here to read our summer 2018 issue , featuring interviews with madeline ' s madeline director josephine decker , david leitner on the new cameras of 2018 , our overview of film schools and more . . .\nmar\u2019s feature debut avoids talking heads and exposition in favor of wide landscapes and careful compositions that were designed to observe these lives , not explain them .\nmar : from the very beginning of casting to now it took about two and half years . we were shooting in a very strategic way ; it was not a typical verite approach . two and a half years ago , i was still working in journalism and tv , and i started the process of traveling around the country , kind of surreptitiously , trying to find the cast for the film . midway through casting i left my job and started living full - time with different communities and traveling to different parts of the country . i was in tennessee , and then crazy parts of california , in rural alabama , i was all over the map .\nfilmmaker : it\u2019s interesting that you had the idea before you started casting . what did you set out to look for ? what was the initial idea ?"]}

with errol flynn presenting and narrating the events featuring castro , che , batista and himself . urltoken\nlooking bloated and ill , he starred alongside beverly in cuban rebel girls , in what turned out to be his final film appearance .\ncuban story , a truly revolutionary motion picture is certainly the only film in history to star both errol flynn and fidel castro ! back in the 1950s , errol flynn and producer victor pahlen owned a movie theater in havana . they happened to be there when castro ' s revolution broke out around them , so they took to the streets with their cameras to document history as it happened , at ground zero . the result was a unique documentary of castro\nunfortunately , the cuban story is not clearly written . only two of the seven chapters , the one on castro and the concluding analysis of american journalistic response , are free from redundancy and disorganization . in expressing his contradictory hopes and apprehensions , gratification and disappointment , matthews scrambles criticism , rationalization and suggestions in no particular order . often , following his line of argument is like watching a tennis match . his own self - defense takes on a willy lomanesque incoherence .\ni know that i will never feel completely at home in either country because they are both a part of me . that ' s the life of an immigrant , living on the spectrum of the hyphen , because i am now not just a cuban or an american , but a cuban - american .\nin 2000 , mark cuban introduced himself to the nba community when he purchased the dallas mavericks for $ 285 million from ross perot jr . for cuban , a longtime season ticket holder , the chance to be a part of the professional sports world was a dream . the mavericks , however , were far from a dream franchise .\n' s uprising , hosted by flynn , featuring unrivaled footage of the conflict and castro himself . circumstances outside their control shelved the film for nearly fifty years ;\ncuban story\nhas never been screened , never seen , never released - - until now . all day entertainment is proud to have worked with the pahlen family to restore this landmark documentary from the only surviving negative materials , stored in england for nearly a half century . includes an introduction by producer victor pahlen ' s daughter , kyra pahlen .\nafter his freshman year at pitt , cuban transferred to indiana university . his understanding of supply and demand extended outside of the classroom . needing to make money to continue his education ( he was paying his own tuition ) cuban started giving dance lessons . that endeavor soon led him to hosting lavish disco parties at the bloomington national guard armory .\nit was an accident that my interview with fidel castro in the sierra maestra on february 17 , 1957 , should have proved so important . there was a story to be got , a censorship to be broken . i got it and i did it - and it so happens that neither cuba nor the united states is going to be the same again .\nwith matthews , however , journalistic participation preceded commitment . as the new york times correspondent whose interview with fidel in february , 1957 , established the fact that the guerilla leader was still alive , and as the editorial writer who martialed the forces in opposition to batista , matthews indeed turned out to be the equivalent of an army division to castro . since the revolution has not developed in matthews ' image ; it would be simple to say that the cuban story has been written from a posture of disillusion ; but it would also be inaccurate .\nafter graduating in 1981 , cuban moved back to pittsburgh and took a job with mellon bank , just as the company was ready to switch over to computers . cuban immersed himself in the study of machines and networking . however , he had no real desire to hang out in his home city for too long , and in 1982 he left pittsburgh for dallas .\nentrepreneur and professional sports team owner mark cuban was born on july 31 , 1958 , in pittsburgh , pennsylvania . cuban had a typically middle - class childhood . his father , norton , spent nearly half a century working at a car upholstery shop . his grandfather , morris chobanisky , emigrated from russia and fed his family by selling merchandise out of the back of a truck .\ncubans are patient only because they have no choice . i\u2019ve watched my parents go from working as a town director and school system supervisor in our homeland to working in housecleaning at a miami hotel . i\u2019ve been through dental school twice . i\u2019ve learned english as an adult . i\u2019ve been ostracized by my cuban community for being chosen in the cuban lottery for a u . s . visa .\ncuban faced additional problems around that time , as a sports illustrated report of sexual harassment and other forms of misconduct within the mavericks & apos ; front office had prompted the team to open an internal investigation . in march , an nba spokesperson said the league was reviewing an alleged incident of sexual assault involving cuban from 2011 , which ended with prosecutors declining to press charges at the time .\ncuban exile and author carlos eire said :\nat that point when flynn was there , castro ' s policies were purely democratic . his goal was to remove batista and stabilise the nation politically .\nborn in pittsburgh in 1958 , entrepreneur mark cuban has ventured into many diverse businesses . he made his fortune through the sale of startups microsolutions and urltoken in the 1990s , and later became known as the zealous owner of the nba & apos ; s dallas mavericks . cuban has also invested in film production , and has appeared on such tv series as dancing with the stars and shark tank .\ndespite the hardship of merely trying to survive , the cuban people managed to laugh , hug , kiss and dance . they welcomed me back with open arms during a time when it was unheard of and even shameful for cuban - americans to come home . amid this widespread poverty and ostracism , i was enamored with my country \u2014 its heritage , diversity , beauty , culture and its undying energy .\nco - founder of the successful startup broadcast . com , mark cuban is known as the zealous owner of the nba ' s dallas mavericks and a star of the tv show ' shark tank . '\ncuban again courted controversy in may 2014 , when he made some comments that were widely perceived as racist . on the subject of bigotry , he stated ,\nif i see a black kid in a hoodie on my side of the street , i & apos ; ll move to the other side of the street .\ncuban then explained that he tried\nto always catch my prejudices .\ncuban later expressed remorse for his comments , posting ,\ni didn & apos ; t consider the trayvon martin family , and i apologize to them for that .\nhe also tweeted that\ni have my failings . . . but a racist i am not .\ncuban married his longtime girlfriend tiffany stewart in 2002 . they have three children together , daughters alexis ( born 2003 ) and alyssa ( 2006 ) , and son jake ( 2010 ) . the family resides in the dallas area .\nin 2004 , cuban caught the attention of the security and exchange commission ( sec ) , which charged him with insider trading in regards to an internet search engine website . cuban claimed he was innocent , and in july 2009 the case was dismissed . however , the case was reinstated the following year . it was also during this time that cuban joined the series shark tank as a venture capitalist , allowing for the trial to be put on hold . in march 2013 , judge sidney a . fitzwater let the case go to trial once again . the trial began on october 1 , 2013 . later that month , he was officially cleared of all charges of insider trading by a texas jury .\nwell before president obama relaxed the travel restrictions , i quietly traveled back and forth to my country more than 80 times \u2014 sometimes for business , as one of gainesville\u2019s cultural programs coordinators , and sometimes for pleasure . the architecture , music , dance , art and literature of the cuban people stand in a class all their own . i\u2019ve been honored and fortunate to have worked so closely with some of the most renowned cuban artists in the world , in both my work life and in my personal life .\ncuban showed himself to be the club & apos ; s biggest booster . choosing to sit with the fans , cuban egged on opponents and derided refs , and the mavericks responded positively to the new owner & apos ; s zeal . the team qualified for the playoffs in 2001 , set a franchise record for wins ( 57 ) the following year and made it to the 2006 nba finals before losing to the miami heat . in 2011 , the mavericks finally won the nba title by defeating the heat .\ncuban & apos ; s go - getter attitude extended to the classroom as well . he started taking psychology classes at the university of pittsburgh during his junior year of high school . he then skipped his senior year and enrolled full time at the college .\nla bodeguita del medio is a crowded bar in old havana , once a bohemian haunt , now a tourist trap with a three - piece band playing cuban standards in the corner . it still serves good rum cocktails , though . indeed , its walls are covered with graffiti\nthe story of cuba ; batista ' s regime , the rise and taking of power by castro and the administration of power by castro unfurls on film , including never seen before shots of castro and his men , the events at santa clara , his guerrilla trainer from mexico , fidel ' s entrance into havana , che guevara and the revolutionaries , batista ' s executions , fidel ' s first speech at the camp of columbia , the people ' s excavations of the student bodies killed by batista ' s men , the post revolutionary trials , and the executions that followed . . .\ncuban also brought his business acumen to the world of film and television production by purchasing the landmark theatres chain and magnolia pictures in 2003 . he & apos ; s listed as an executive producer for such acclaimed movies as goodnight and good luck ( 2005 ) and akeelah and the bee ( 2006 ) , and further augmented his own celebrity with appearances in the popular tv series entourage and the league . in 2015 , cuban also showed up in the big - screen version of entourage , and starred as u . s . president marcus robbins in the disaster flick sharknado 3 .\nmy family has had a strong connection to ernest hemingway\u2019s life in cuba for decades , and i followed that relationship , authoring a book based on my father\u2019s friendship with the famous american author :\nhemingway\u2019s cuban son .\nin addition , i\u2019ve helped in the creation of three hemingway documentaries .\ncuban also brought a touch of innovation to his ownership of the team . he was the first owner to launch his own blog , a swirling mix of his own tech insights and thoughts on nba basketball . the blog became wildly popular , receiving thousands of emails a day from his readers .\nthe cuban influx to miami enriched the area , bringing diversity and economic growth in the 1970s . my family helped many others as they acclimated to the states , but i was never to return to cuba again , until just two years ago . it had been 59 years since i\u2019d last been .\nhis fortune making , however , was far from done . sensing that a new world awaited with the development of the internet , cuban and a business partner , indiana alum todd wagner , started audionet in 1995 . its formation was rooted in a desire to be able to listen to indiana hoosier basketball games online . the company , despite its early critics , proved to be a smash success . renamed broadcast . com , the firm went public in 1998 and soon saw its stock reach $ 200 a share . a year later , wagner and cuban sold out to yahoo ! for nearly $ 6 billion .\nin february 2018 , with the mavericks owning one of the worst records in the nba , cuban admitted that he told his team that\nlosing is our best option\nto obtain a top pick in the nba draft , a comment that drew a whopping $ 600 , 000 fine from the league .\nplagued by poor personnel decisions and mediocre players and coaches , the club experienced more than a decade of non - playoff basketball games . cuban used his new role as owner to immediately change that . with his trademark enthusiasm and doggedness , he revamped the culture of the team and its roster , erecting a new stadium and pampering his players .\nevery major revolution polarizes observers into partisans , but it seems a singular power of the cuban revolution to excite in its onlookers a deep sense of participation . as the body of literature devoted to castro ' s victory grows , more and more books appear implicitly devoted to the impact of the revolutionary struggle on the author ' s thought processes and outlook .\nlike his grandfather , cuban displayed a tenacity for making a deal and carving out a better life for himself . at the age of 12 , he sold sets of garbage bags to save up for a pair of shoes he liked . in high school , he earned extra dollars any way he could , mainly by becoming a stamp and coin salesman .\nwhile cuban has every reason to go into retirement mode , he & apos ; s done anything but that . he made a big foray into the high - definition tv market with hdnet ( later axs tv ) ; launched his own reality tv series ; and on the advice of his young daughter , was a contestant on dancing with the stars in 2007 .\ncuban remained on top of technology trends by launching a social media app called cyber dust in 2014 . true to form , he also thrust himself into the national conversation when inspired , boasting he could beat both hillary clinton and donald trump as campaigning for the u . s . presidency heated up in 2015 . in july 2016 , the billionaire threw his support behind hillary clinton .\nthe state department ' s refusal to believe in the plasticity of the cuban revolution , is matthew ' s major regret . in his chapter on fidel castro , he complains :\neach year since 1957 there has been a different fidel castro to deal with , yet each year - - each day , in fact - - he is treated as if the ideas he holds then and the policies he is following will not or cannot change .\nmy own work , however , is the impetus for my second book :\nan island of oceans and skies : memoir of a cuban son . \u201d it\u2019s based on my childhood in cuba , which is never far from my mind , as my family instilled within me the importance of keeping strong ties with our family left in cuba . i\u2019ve visited my home country several times over the decades , and the new relations between our two countries is a welcome change .\nonline and off , cuban is an unfiltered force of opinion , a bombastic personality among the rather stodgy inner circle of nba ownership . he made waves when he referred to kobe bryant & apos ; s sexual assault case of 2003 as\ngreat for the nba . it & apos ; s reality television , people love train - wreck television , and you hate to admit it , but that is the truth , that & apos ; s the reality today .\nas new daily commercial air flights reconnect the u . s . with its so - close - yet - so - distant neighbor , change will be swift as thousands visit cuba for the first time . in the months and years to come , the opening of travel between the u . s . and cuba will alter perceptions forever . but for these nine cuban - americans who call gainesville home \u2014 representing thousands more like themselves \u2014 their deeply held memories of long - ago cuba are woven into the fabric of their lives . here are their stories :\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nnewspaper articles written by film star errol flynn documenting his last years spent in cuba with fidel castro ' s rebels have been unearthed in a university library .\nmention the name of errol flynn , and an image of a larger - than - life , swashbuckling screen hero comes to mind . or the sly grin of a sexual athlete who sparked the saying :\nin like flynn .\nit was a surprise to discover the famous actor moonlighted as a newspaper correspondent who wrote a number of articles about his adventures .\nhis features\nme and castro\nand\ni fought with castro\nfor the new - york journal american remained unread for 50 years , buried in the archives of the university of texas at austin ' s center for american history .\ni have always been a fan of flynn ' s films and believe he was a far better actor than he gave himself credit for .\nerrol flynn was cinema ' s biggest star from the mid - 30s until the late 1940s , thanks to his debut in captain blood and a series of swashbuckling epics such as the sea hawk , the dawn patrol and the adventures of robin hood .\nbut even i was unprepared to find the man who was a screen idol as robin hood to a generation of movie - goers in the company of revolutionary pin - ups fidel castro and che guevara . but , ever the hero , he admired those who fought on others ' behalf .\ni was surprised to find there was a serious side to flynn - he sympathised with the republicans during the spanish civil war , and set off for spain\nto follow in hemingway ' s footsteps\nin february 1937 .\nwhile in madrid , flynn condemned the fascist general franco . he was shelled , survived an aerial attack and narrowly avoided being machine - gunned by an over - enthusiastic republican .\nerrol ' s daughter rory flynn said the public image of her father did not accurately reflect the man who wrote two novels , an autobiography and newspaper reports .\nshe said :\nit is said that he was a swashbuckling hedonist , but my father was a serious man .\nhe thought about things , he wrote books , he wrote poems and he wrote documentaries , this is not just something that came about .\nhe wrote for the hearst ( news ) papers . i think underneath it all , he was a journalist .\nflynn had been a regular visitor to batista ' s cuba , where the dictator welcomed distinguished tourists , drawn to the island for its brothels and legalised gambling .\nby the time he returned to the country in late 1958 with his teenage girlfriend beverly aadland , a lifetime of hard - living had taken its toll , and roles were hard to find - although ironically , during the dog days of his career , flynn gave two of his best - received performances - the sun also rises and the roots of heaven .\ni feel that the citizens will know who you are . . . and it will cheer them to know that someone from the united states , whom they perhaps have seen on the screen , is interested enough to come and see them\nflynn claimed castro invited him to cuba at the very dawn of the revolution .\nbeverly aadland said :\nerrol had talked to hearst newspapers in new york about interviewing castro , and through some contacts in the ' havana hilton ' , went up into the sierra mistra mountains to talk to fidel .\nbeverly was installed at the capital ' s prestigious commodore hotel , while flynn went off to the mountains with the rebels , spending five days with castro and interviewing him .\nin his articles , he described how fidel castro told him that\nno american knew him or his brother raul better than i did\nand how he gave cuba ' s leader lessons in public speaking .\ncastro is quoted as saying to flynn :\ni feel that the citizens will know who you are . . . and it will cheer them to know that someone from the united states , whom they perhaps have seen on the screen , is interested enough to come and see them .\nflynn also reportedly had a brief encounter with che guevara , who did not recognise the bloated and faded film star when they met .\nin other articles he described gun battles and how he was shot in the leg . he also witnessed castro ' s swearing - in as president in february 1959 .\nbut flynn was criticised for spending time with the rebels , and had to defend his allegiances .\nhe wrote :\never since boyhood i have been drawn , perhaps romantically - to the ideas of causes , crusades .\nbeverly said she felt he did not realise castro would go on to be a communist .\ni think he was a hero - worshipper , and i think errol thought that castro was a good guy trying to free the country for everyday citizens . i guess castro fooled him too ,\nshe said .\nfidel castro and his men knew how to work the publicity machine , and there was freedom of the press .\nthis is one sign of how inefficient batista ' s repression was , basically if any foreign journalist or big star like errol flynn wanted to go and end up in the mountains , they ' d end up there .\nflynn was impressed with the vigour of the revolution , and was behind two films made in cuba at the time .\nbut the film was panned as\na truly pathetic swansong to a mighty career\nby critics .\nin the last months of his life , flynn was beset by financial woes and ill health , his third wife patrice wymore wanted to divorce him and he was being sued .\nhe died in vancouver , aged 50 , on 14 october , 1959 , where he and beverly had travelled to sell his beloved yacht zaca to try and pay off some of his debts .\nerrol flynn ' s life was one of contrasts - a star who wanted to be an actor ; a legendary hedonist who wanted to be taken seriously as a writer and a man who deliberately placed himself in the heart of two revolutions .\nmost popular now | 56 , 514 people are reading stories on the site right now .\n;\nthe bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites . read more .\nthis page is best viewed in an up -

paul sartre , c . wright mills , jules dubois and warren miller . it follows that none of the writing on cuba thus far can be classified as objective history ; what has been produced is a literary extension of the issues and conflicts raised by the revolution . sartre and mills , to whom the revolution was like an overdose of hormones , totally altered their styles in trying to influence popular attitudes . mills even admitted to a quasi - military intent when he said that mobilization of public opinion against an invasion was a goal of listen yankee .\nwhen hostility to castro mounted in this country , matthews came in for a disproportionate share of the retrospective blame . the national review carried what he himself admits is a clever cartoon , showing a happy castro saying\ni got my job through the new york times .\nthe attack on matthews was far from humorous , however . the eastland - dodd committee questioned his failure to warn of the communist potential in castro ' s movement . the author ' s primary concern , therefore , is self - defense , and he argues passionately , if not eloquently , that truth in a revolutionary situation is not absolute but relative to the shifting logic of the revolution .\nthose who harped on the communist line later said : ' i told you so ,\nmatthews says of his critics - -\nthey helped to make their guess come true .\nafter an event happens , it takes on an inevitability and one feels that - it had to happen . . . . those who live close to the events , who are a part of them , who know that the forces and pressures involved at any given time in any particular circumstance are enormously complex . . . know there is no inevitability .\ncastro ' s political - psychological make - up is one of the subjects that matthews handles with a good deal of insight . there is notion in the united states that communism is so analogous to disease that it spreads by the same mechanism . thus throughout 1959 and 1960 it was suggested in the daily press and the newsweeklies that castro could easily become a communist by proximity to che guevara ( who was identified as a congenital communist ) . it was never hinted at this time that forced economic and political reliance on the soviet bloc could have the same effect .\nsome of the blame must rest with whoever edited the book for braziller . for example , criticism of the american ambassadors , arthur gardner , earl e . t . smith , and phillip bonsal is interspersed throughout the volume , and had it been collected and discussed within one chapter , a far clearer statement of what ambassadorial responsibilities entail would have resulted .\nstylistically , sartre and mills may have altered their approaches too much , but matthews has adjusted his too little . the four - paragraph clusters of the editorial writer sever many logical threads ; and time and again there is a relapse into philosophical speculation and repetitive generalizations about the responsibility of the reporter .\nmatthews concludes by defending his integrity with such genuine and profuse emotion that his sincerity becomes almost embarrassing . it is not the sincerity of a man recanting ; the author ' s admiration for castro and sense of loyalty to the revolution ' s expressed ideals are real , while his disappointment is parenthetical . it is the insistence of a journalist who sees hope in any disruption of an impoverished , deprived society .\nwith both the iconic and the new , these eight local boston and cambridge -

equipped and terrified seemed more like a totalitarian dictatorship .\ni am proud today to be able to share my thoughts , theories and experiences with the world for the greater good of cuba and its people .\ni was born in the city of matanzas , a city on the northern coast , 60 miles east of havana . called\nthe athens of cuba\n, matanzas overlooks a wide bay into which three rivers drain . it had great neoclassic architecture and was the hub of literary , artistic and musical talent in cuba ( birthplace of two famous dances ,\nthe rumba\nand the national dance of cuba ,\nthe danzon\n) and to many gifted writers , composers , poets , and to the creator of the mambo .\nnestled in the rich - soiled yumuri valley , matanzas is rich in sugar and coffee , which is why it was mostly populated by farmers from the canary islands and former plantation slaves . it is also the home of the world - famous varadero beach .\nmy family was not politically involved , but we cherished democracy . we left cuba with my maternal grandparents in 1963 . my grandfather had uncontrolled diabetes and we were allowed to leave cuba through mexico . when we left , we had to leave all our belongings . i had to leave my lifelong favorite pet , my dog , yuti , behind , which was painful for a 13 year old .\nwe were fortunate to start a new life in new jersey where my uncles lived . i finished high school there , went onto college at cornell university , and then to medical school at nyu in new york city . i came to uf to do my residency and training in pulmonary medicine and was offered a faculty position at uf college of medicine .\nthe situation in cuba has been difficult and extremely complicated . i miss my homeland . many people there have suffered through no fault of their own . the intended result of an extended embargo did not resolve the political issues there for either side . it is my belief that\none - on - one\ncommunication with people does more for diplomacy and human rights than stern policies and dogma from political entities on either side . i have been to cuba twice in the past six years , and have relatives there so i plan to go back . i am hopeful that greater personal interchange between the two countries will allow for ease of personal liberties and further the importance of democracy and freedom as we are so fortunate to enjoy in our united states of america .\nwe knew things were bad , but i have memories full of love and happiness .\ni left cuba when i was 28 years old , with my then - husband and eight other people . huddled together on a homemade boat made of two truck tire tubes and a crib\u2019s safety handle , we headed to the united states in august 1994 . the three - day journey was harrowing , life - threatening , even , and i suffered from hallucinations , dehydration , and lack of food . our little float withstood waves of more than 15 feet until we were finally rescued by the u . s . coast guard .\nthey brought us to guantanamo bay , where i stayed as a refugee for eight months waiting to hear my fate . they let me in . in may 1995 , i arrived in the united states , and i got to gainesville a month later .\ngrowing up in cuba from the mid - ' 60s until i left was hard , but i look back on the hardships as i saw them in my childhood . we knew things were bad , but i have memories full of love and happiness . my parents worked to the bone to provide for us best they could , and to help with the burden , i dropped out of nursing school to contribute to the family . i thought coming to the united states would allow me to more greatly help my family , so i made the treacherous journey in the hopes of a better life , both here and there .\nfor a decade after i arrived , i worked any job i could until i was finally able to open estevez travel out of my home in 2003 . for seven years i provided travel and legal services related to cuba , and in 2010 i opened an office in gainesville and have since been working with several universities , colleges and organizations to make organized trips to cuba .\nmy job now allows me to promote the relationship between my two beloved countries , while helping and visiting my family in cuba at the same time .\nmy family has had a strong connection to ernest hemingway\u2019s life in cuba for decades .\ni lived in cuba for the first eight years of my life , until my family emigrated to spain in 1972 . we weren\u2019t there long , coming to the united states just two years later and settling in new jersey for the rest of my childhood .\nhere in gainesville , i\u2019m acting coordinator for cultural programs at santa fe college , but i am more truly a visual artist and , over the past 30 years , i have exhibited my art in 20 one - person exhibits and in over 400 group exhibits in the united states , canada , cuba , costa rica , france , germany , italy , spain and china .\nwe went back . . . every summer , until the threat of nuclear war became too much .\ni left cuba before castro took power . it was 1955 , and i was 4 years old . in the beginning , we went back to havana every summer , until the threat of nuclear war became too much in 1960 . the embargo against cuba began and flights were stopped . we didn\u2019t know if we would ever see our relatives again , and we moved from new york city to miami to be closer to them , just in case .\nthough we stayed close to our family in cuba and maintained our traditions and faith , we were always fearful for their safety . those of us in america could not imagine the strife they were enduring \u2014 our own aunts , cousins , parents and grandparents .\ngrowing up , our close knit family maintained our cultural traditions and our faith . we were very much connected to those in cuba , yet always anxious for the safety and well - being of our family .\nvisiting my 94 - year - old aunt and a cousin , still living in my grandmother\u2019s old house , saddened me . the condition of the house was a testament to the struggle there and their will to survive .\nmy hope , moving forward , is that we directly help the people in cuba in terms of economic and educational opportunities . cubans do not want a welfare state ; we are a proud and industrious people and want opportunities to have a life of success and respect for human rights . let us hope we can achieve these goals with wise and judicious choices .\nwe left the country . . . just as my father was about to be arrested\nbefore my parents came to the united states seeking refuge , their parents had traveled to cuba from spain seeking refuge in the late 1880s . i was born in 1954 in havana , to a school principal and an engineer . my parents had done it . they had made a better life for us , on the sacrifices their parents made for them . then , we had to do it all again .\neverything changed when fidel castro took over . people were being arrested and imprisoned for handing out leaflets ; they were shot for not much more . we left the country through friends in the united states , just as my father was about to be arrested . arriving in 1960 , we were granted political amnesty .\ndespite the trouble there , my parents yearned to go back . they wanted the life they left behind before castro . they mourned the losses they had suffered . while most of my father\u2019s family eventually made it to the states , my mother never saw hers again . we made a life here ; my siblings were born u . s . citizens . we love this country , but there is a hole , an empty place my soul longs for .\nthe embargo provided a powerful excuse for the castros to avoid responsibility for the dismal failure of their so - called revolution . they have amassed wealth while their people suffered more and more . they are dictators , not romantic revolutionaries .\ni resent the depiction of cuba in the media . there is a romantic fantasy about what the country is .\npeople\u2019s ration cards list bones as protein . people ' s homes are crumbling around them . the much - touted health care system includes hospitals with no medicines , clean sheets or working toilets .\nwhile my heart longs for my homeland , i will not make the trip until there is far more change , and we are clear - eyed about what the reality is for those who live there . they should not have to wait for people in the u . s . to see the faded , crumbling cities and\nvintage\ncars to regain their hard - fought lives .\ni worked in the treasury department . my wife was a supervisor of the school system throughout havana . on the side , i was a successful real estate salesman . i never realized how that hobby would change my entire life , would help me land safely , eventually , on the other side .\nthe people at the bank took all my money , everything i had . my account had been frozen along with countless others , and an old friend arranged for me to meet one bank in an old , broken - down building to get my safety deposit box . they opened it . they kept it . two thousand american dollars , lost . i left for the united states with $ 37 in my pocket . i told the government i was arranging to bring a light bulb company back to havana . i still can\u2019t believe they allowed me my visa for that . it was 1961 .\nmy wife and two sons followed , on the even flimsier excuse of coming to celebrate my 37th birthday with me . they never returned .\nwithin months , the house we bought in miami went underwater in a bad housing market . we were thrown out . everything we had just gained was lost .\ngainesville was a thread of hope for us . channel 5 hired my wife , rosa , to teach spanish for tv . i joined her as soon as i could , but job prospects were low . i worked cleaning toilets , then fixing air conditioners for years until i could finally take the citizenship test in 1967 . i got my real estate license , and have now owned gore - rabell for years .\ni\u2019ve been back to cuba three times , including after my wife\u2019s death in 2006 . each time , i saw the devastation that had overtaken my homeland and lonely remnants of what was once there .\ni will go again , but i am 94 years old now . after 55 years , gainesville is my home . my wife is buried here , and here i will stay until the lord calls me home .\ni\u2019ve seen cuba go from financially strapped and rationed under russian support , to devastated and forlorn after the collapse of communist russia . and now i\u2019m seeing the borders finally opening up . i am 36 years old .\ngrowing up , we didn\u2019t know we didn\u2019t have much . when russia collapsed , we went from our meager rations to literally nothing . i had no shoes , hardly any clothes , no toys or food or medicine .\nafter graduating high school , i had to serve in the army where a rifle backfired into my face , nearly blinding me . despite the hardships , after my service , i managed to attend the university of havana dental school , where i was in my fourth year when my family won the visa lotto . we faced discrimination for accepting a way out of cuba \u2014 my mother was demoted and certain friends , relatives and professionals started treating us poorly .\nwhen we left , we packed next to nothing , leaving everything we could with our extended family staying behind . they needed it more .\ni learned english and went back to school , starting all over . i found a man i love , and i\u2019m now a father to twin boys . my life is finally here .\ntraveling through cuba as an adult , the luscious mountains serve as a backdrop for the vast sugarcane fields , coffee plantations and royal palms . it\u2019s idyllic , until the armed soldiers interrogate the driver of our 1940s family cadillac at the checkpoints .\nchoose the plan that ' s right for you . digital access or digital and print delivery .\n\u00a9 copyright 2006 -

[ see this post about the terminology change favoring neurocognitive disorder over dementia . ]\nhere are summaries and links to trailers for some of the films i ' ve found with a list of the others at the end of this post .\n, but some of the behaviors and symptoms are similar , so the film depictions may help family members process their feelings nonetheless .\nmost of the films below are feature films and not documentaries . i ' m trying to emphasize the contribution that artists make to better responding to the challenges and opportunities presented by dementia . nevertheless , documentaries also require a view from the humanities more than from the sciences , so i have a few in the mix .\ni found all of these films on netflix ( except the first one , still in theaters ) .\nian mckellen plays sherlock holmes as a man who lived beyond the pages of the stories . set in 1947 , the film finds the detective retired and reviewing his last case from 30 years prior . watch him use every trick for improving his failing memory and every device for uncovering clues . can this world - famous detective revise his legacy in time to transmit it to the rising generation ?\nshows a university professor and her family adjusting to her diagnosis and clinical symptoms of early onset alzheimer ' s disease . the theme of identity through work threatening identity through relationships is strong .\nnicolas cage stars as evan lake , a cia agent who receives a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia ( ftd ) . he has an old score to settle , but the angry outburst of ftd cost him his job . he goes rogue and vows to do his best to bring a foe to justice - - despite increasing problems with his memory .\na documentary that depicts campbell ' s life with alzheimer ' s disease ( ad ) from the time of his diagnosis through his farewell tour . the docu shows his family and entourage showing him a lot of support while interspersing footage of his life and career in music , film and television . several musicians comment on his talent and explain how ad has affected their family , too .\nthis documentary shows footage of persons with dementia responding well to music . however , this work is contexualized by interviews with dan cohen , founder of music and memory as well as interviews with caregivers , health care providers , dementia advocates and scientists . trailer .\n. james cromwell stars as a man in his 80s who is focused on building an appropriate home for his wife of 63 years ( played by genevieve bujold ) . she is experiencing memory problems that grow more severe . he not only has to battle his aging body but the local building inspector , his opinionated neighbor and his well - meaning but patronizing adult children .\nretired jewel thief frank ( played by frank langella ) lives by himself and is having a few memory issues . his son brings him an electronic personal assistant - - a\n. soon frank figures out a way to have the robot help him return to his old ways - - but not without complications .\nthis animated film shows newcomer emilio ( voiced by martin sheen in the english version ) learning how to adapt to life in a multi - level care center by his more acclimated roommate miguel ( voiced by george coe ) . both find it challenging to preserve their autonomy in the situation , and both try to figure out how to respond to emilio ' s advancing alzheimer ' s disease .\na short film starring elliot gould about two adult children trying to convince their aging parents to leave their home in order to move into assisted living . based on the director ' s experience with his own parents and filmed in his parents ' home . trailer .\nwith these films . yes , the film depicts caregiving challenges . but i excluded it because the wife had a series of strokes that resulted in mobility problems and aphasia . the film doesn ' t depict or discuss memory problems . ( and , i loathed the film , so\nthis film from iran doesn ' t use alzheimer ' s as the central conflict , but it plays a significant role . a couple is separating and considering a divorce . the husband ' s father has alzheimer ' s and requires a caregiver . the adult son hires a woman caregiver , setting of a series of conflicts that grow more and more complex as the film progresses .\n) in her final years . thatcher ( played by meryl streep ) reminisces about her past through conversations with her beloved late husband denis ( played by jim broadbent ) .\na french film featuring an ensemble cast of seasoned actors ( including american actresses jane fonda and geraldine chaplin ) . when health and memory problems plague a few of the members , they decide to live together - - then complexities emerge .\nwinner of best screenplay at the cannes for its year , this film from s . korea dwells very little on the character ' s new diagnosis of alzheimer ' s . the conflict focuses more on the misdeeds of her grandson . however , she has compounding limitations when trying to marshal resources in response . i have a feeling that the diagnosis contributed to the film ' s ending , but it ' s only implied .\nonly about the last 30 minutes of this 134 minute film depicts the main character living with dementia . the bulk of the movie is a life review of a jewish canadian television producer who has many flaws but somehow remains lovable .\nor for viewing on a 3 dvd set . the episodes include footage of several family members as they address a loved one ' s trajectory through ad .\nartist robert malone ( played by martin landau ) meets a lovely woman his age named mary ( played by ellen burstyn ) for the first half of the film , you watch him stumble through asking her on some dates and meeting her family . as the film progresses , you learn that alzheimer ' s disease threatens the relationship and causes chaos for them both .\nmatthew broderick stars as cooper , a young newspaper editor who recently suffered a concussion at the hands of a co -

tale of this film shows a mature woman in an assisted - living center receiving a visitor who tells her stories from decades prior . the bulk of the film consists of flashbacks about a young couple in their teens / twenties . but the ending brings alzheimer ' s to the foreground , but only for a few minutes .\nthis pbs documentary is based on david shank ' s 1999 book of the same name . the television program contains interviews of three families about the impact of alzheimer ' s disease on the person affected as well as the family relationships . david hyde pierce leads a town hall type discussion in the last 30 minutes of this 90 minute program .\nthis dutch - language film focuses more on the thrill of the chase than on dementia . two police officers are trying to capture a hit man who is suffering from dementia . the criminal ' s memory problems only affect a couple of scenes , and it ' s not a realistic depiction of alzheimer ' s disease . but it ' s fun to see the 57 year old actor playing the lead .\n, the film spans decades , so it ' s not solely about the way alzheimer ' s disease changed their relationship . wonderful performances by kate winslet as the younger iris , judi dench as the mature iris , and jim broadbent as the mature john bayley .\na swedish film with subtitles about a composer and violinist who marry later in life . a few years into their marriage , he is diagnosed with alzheimer ' s disease . the film shows his progression from early stage through mid -

interrupted idle time , which may be advantageous if a new product is introduced to the facility or if a third party is seeking to rent and use production capacity .\n. the lead time allows for the duration of the first batch of a campaign plus the setup and cleaning time before the first batch commences . incorporation of lead time is enforced by a binary variable\nwe ' ve ranked the top 50 wimbledon players over the last 50 years .\nby the smaller rectangle for the scheduled demand ) . in order to reduce the magnitude of the penalty , the heuristic will schedule the demand as early as possible in a gap that either straddles , or is later than , the due date . an example is provided in fig .\nmehdizadeh , e . , hajipour , v . , mohammadizadeh , m . r . : a bi -

term production planning . for large biopharmaceutical companies , planning typically involves multiple products and several production facilities . production is usually done in batches with a substantial set - up cost and time for switching between products . the goal is to satisfy demand while minimising manufacturing , set - up and inventory costs . the resulting production planning problem is thus a variant of the capacitated lot - sizing and scheduling problem , and a complex combinatorial optimisation problem . inspired by genetic algorithm approaches to job shop scheduling , this paper proposes a tailored construction heuristic that schedules demands of multiple products sequentially across several facilities to build a multi - year production plan ( solution ) . the sequence in which the construction heuristic schedules the different demands is optimised by a genetic algorithm . we demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach on a biopharmaceutical lot sizing problem and compare it with a mathematical programming model from the literature . we show that the genetic algorithm can outperform the mathematical programming model for certain scenarios because the discretisation of time in mathematical programming artificially restricts the solution space .\nnyc label palto flats focuses on a carefully selected program of reissues and new material , bringing attention to the intersection of pop , electronic , experimental and world music . the label\u2019s intent is to work with artists on music that is both accessible and idiomatic , bringing these constructive contrasts to light . this show is an exploration of those forms , and will periodically feature guest selectors from diverse musical backgrounds .\nfor greater control sensitivity each laboratory should establish its own mean and acceptable range and periodically reevaluate the mean . the laboratory range may include values outside of the assay range . target values not listed on the assay sheet may be established by the user if the control is suitable for the method .\nthe quality of the solution produced by the above construction heuristic is to some extent dependent on the order in which the demands are inserted into the schedule since available production capacity is more restricted the later a demand is considered . by giving priority to certain demands mainly three situations can be created .\n) . specifically , each demand is given a unique id number ( from 1 to 225 ) , and the chromosome is a permutation of these numbers . the ordering of the numbers on the chromosome determines the order by which the construction heuristic processes the respective demands ( from first to last position ) and thus influences the resulting schedule .\noverall , from these results , we conclude that the suggested ga approach is competitive with the milp approach , but does not suffer from the introduction of artificial time periods and thus is sometimes able to find better solutions than milp . the trend seems to be that the times for both optimisation methods are going up linearly . however the increase of the ga approach is of a smaller factor than that of the milp optimisations . this suggests that the relative performance of the ga is less susceptible to the detrimental impact of increasing the scale of the problem .\ncalculate control limits from the laboratory mean and long -

long base case ) . for the longer time horizons , the demand forecasts for the years after year 15 were set equal to the forecast for each product in year 15 . to compare the two methods , the milp was first run for all three problem sizes with a stopping criterion of a 0 . 25 % optimality gap , at which point , the solution quality ( profit ) was recorded along with the time taken to achieve the solution . this profit value was then used as a target for the ga . the average time over the 50 runs that it took for the ga to match or beat those targets was recorded . the results of this experiment are shown in table\n. this is reassuring , since if such an insertion is possible , the other options are not tested , which significantly speeds up the algorithm . as we move to the scenarios with higher demand , the percentage drops from 92 . 8 to 78 . 9 % . this still constitutes the majority of cases , but clearly the other insertion alternatives of the heuristic become more important .\noriginally , we initialised individuals randomly , but then realised that better solutions are produced if demands from a single year are grouped together on the chromosome . unless stated otherwise , the results in this paper are thus based on runs where 50 % of the population is initialised randomly , whereas the other 50 % only randomise the sequence of demands from the same year , but maintain the sequence of years ( i . e . , all demands of a particular year appear in the permutation before the demands of later years ) . for fitness evaluation , the ga calls the construction heuristic described in sect .\nin this paper , we have considered the lot sizing and scheduling problem for a complex biopharmaceutical production scenario featuring multiple products , multiple facilities , and batch processing . for this challenging optimisation problem , we have proposed an ga based on an indirect permutation encoding that is decoded into a full schedule by a novel construction heuristic tailored to the problem at hand . a comparison with an milp approach from the literature showed that the ga is at least competitive , and often produces even better results than the milp approach . the reason is that the milp model artificially imposes a time granularity by dividing the time into discrete periods that is not needed in the ga approach . this shows that although gas are heuristic methods , they can sometimes outperform exact methods not only in terms of running time , but also because they are able to work with a model closer to reality .\nto avoid setup times and setup costs , it may be beneficial to schedule a demand adjacent to the same product already scheduled . the heuristic picks the latest time slot before the due date that allows to link to a previously - scheduled demand of the same product , and has sufficient available capacity to schedule the entire demand\u2013see fig .\nmr garofolo won $ 1 , 000 and the opportunity to conduct a charity auction at the next reinsw conference .\n. the results of the empirical evaluation , including a comparison with an milp approach , are reported in sect .\nruntimes strongly depend on the implementation skills of the developer , the hardware used , and software tools used , and thus have to be handled with caution . nonetheless , table\nbarbie bertisch was born in buenos aires and currently lives in brooklyn where she djs , runs love injection fanzine , plays in seedy films , and juggles music , journalism and photography . paul raffaele lives in brooklyn , where he works as an art director , dj , runs the most excellent unlimited record label and love injection monthly fanzine . he is obsessed and endlessly curious about music and the cultures that surround it . together , they make podcasts , dj , and co -

cost facilities , and lower storage costs . it also manages to satisfy all the demand ( customer service level of 100 % ) , whereas the milp model chooses to backlog some of the demand . this is because the ga tries to satisfy all the demand as first priority and only backlogs if there is no other feasible option . the milp , however , has an explicit trade - off between backlog and other costs , and backlogs if the resulting solution has a higher profit . on the other hand , the setup costs of the ga solution are higher . overall , the profit generated by the ga solution is consistently higher , and by more than the 0 . 25 % optimality gap , i . e . the difference between the best solution found and the upper bound determined by the milp solver . this is possible because milp , due to its imposed time granularity , has an artificially restricted search space . it can switch less often between products , resulting in lower setup cost and higher storage cost . also , it sometimes wastes part of a time period , which may mean the need to use occasionally more expensive facilities , resulting in higher manufacturing costs . these differences can be seen also by comparing the gantt charts of the optimal solutions found by the milp and the ga which are depicted in fig .\n( denoted as \u201csimple\u201d ) , or all alternatives ( \u201cfull\u201d ) . a profit ratio of 1 means that the two models obtain the same profit , while a greater profit ratio indicates that the full model is able to achieve higher profits than the simple model . it confirms that the more complicated cases with splitting , backlogging and moving previously scheduled demand are responsible for an increasing share of the profit as the overall demand is increased . especially once the demand is increased to three times the original values , there seems to be a step change and the more complicated alternatives seem to become indispensable .\nthe objective is to maximize the overall profit , calculated as total revenue minus the cost for production , storage , setups and backlog penalties . given a set of heterogeneous facilities with different manufacturing yields , manufacturing cost , and batch production rates for different products , this takes into account maximizing the amount of products sold , and minimizing the manufacturing cost , the storage cost , the setup cost , and any backlog penalty .\nnote : the only on -

based approach that is successful in the job shop scheduling domain .\nthe demand forecast comprises a time horizon of 15 years and 15 products ( p1\u2013p15 ) . the forecast indicates yearly market demands , assumed to be fulfilled at the end of each year ( table\nthe number of facilities . in practice , however , as we will show later , in the majority of cases , only options\n) is the best possible , or that it is not possible to design an milp formulation that circumvents or at least reduces the impact of the time period length . however , the milp model is the only one we found in the literature for this problem , and we do believe that one of the advantages of gas is their greater flexibility in modelling the real world , and that solving a problem heuristically that is close to reality can sometimes work better than a model further from reality but solved to optimality .\n) was 63 , which is not consistent with the general trend of the other years , so we changed it to 163 .\nwe updated the units for setup cost , sales price , storage cost and backlog penalty to be consistent with the other data .\nto this end , we design an genetic algorithm ( ga ) with an embedded problem - specific construction heuristic . the ga uses an indirect permutation encoding , i . e . , the specifically developed construction heuristic schedules demands sequentially in the order prescribed by the chromosome . as we demonstrate , the use of an ga allows for a more flexible and realistic model of the real - life problem and avoids some of the simplifications necessitated by available mathematical programming models .\nthe setup time includes the time of production of the first batch . in addition , it is assumed that a month is 30 days and , subsequently , a year is equal to 360 days .\nthe competition saw 11 finalists auctioning off a range of products which helped raise more that $ 11 , 000 for the mcgrath foundation .\ndo not use the sd from parallel testing to establish a range . this sd is too narrow for control limits because it is obtained over a short time compared to the shelf life of the control .\n. as can be seen , the time required for the milp and ga increases roughly linearly with problem size , however the factor by which runtime increases when moving from 15 to 30 years is 6 . 6 for milp , but only 2 . 8 for the ga .\nthis is a training film made for the british directorate of army psychiatry directed by carol reed and written by peter ustinov and eric ambler . the film features five different recruits and turns them into an efficient well motivated team . for fifty years this film was thought toe lost but this print turned up in india . the underlying plot of this training film formed the story line for the feature film the way ahead 1944\nexemplary gantt chart of a schedule generated by the ga ( top ) and milp ( bottom ) , for the standard case . the profit and customer service level ( csl ) for each schedule is also indicated\nthe first author would like to acknowledge funding through the epsrc centre for doctoral training in emergent macromolecular therapies , ep / l015218 / 1 .\nwhich builds a schedule by inserting demands iteratively in the order prescribed by the solution\u2019s chromosome . the actual fitness is then the overall profit of the resulting schedule , i . e . , revenue minus storage , production , setup cost and backlog penalty . this objective function is defined mathematically in the \u201cappendix\u201d . we did not spend much effort on tuning parameters to this problem , but experiments with different population sizes and mutation rates show that results are rather insensitive to the parameter settings ( see table\n) used mixed integer linear programming ( milp ) to solve this problem , and a full description of the mathematical programme formulation can be found in the \u201cappendix\u201d . the ga proposed in this paper is subject to the same constraints , except that we do not restrict production on a particular facility to one product per time period . this seemed to be an artificial restriction imposed only to reduce the modelling complexity of the milp .\nfor job shop scheduling , many successful gas use indirect encodings , with the ga only searching the space of permutations of jobs . for evaluation , a schedule is constructed from the permutation by a construction heuristic , often giffler - thompson , which iteratively selects the job with the highest priority ( lowest permutation index ) from the set of eligible jobs , and then schedules it at the earliest possible time . this avoids infeasible solutions and introduces a desirable heuristic bias , in the sense that it excludes obviously bad solutions ( such as schedules with big gaps ) from the search space . inspired by this work , we also propose using an indirect , permutation - based encoding combined with a construction heuristic . the construction heuristic , however , had to be carefully designed for the problem at hand .\nfor the ga , mean \u00b1 sd are listed , whereas milp is a deterministic method and was only run once . best mean is highlighted in bold\u2013where the difference is not significant both are highlighted . ga timing values are the average time elapsed for each of the 50 runs ( i . e . , the total runtime of 50 runs divided by 50 )"]}

butcher all stare at the dog wondering where the little bell sound is coming from . when they figure it out , the butcher is terrified . he mutters about how the dog has obviously eaten the cat , and

santa claus ) finds the little match girl lying in an alley surrounded by her burnt - out matches . his assistant albert explains that dying is sort of her purpose , and makes people feel better about their own poor situations . death is very cross at the fact that a child is freezing to death in the streets even at hogswatch and revives the little girl , even though it ' s against the rules , and hands her over to the city watch to keep her warm and fed . death is not allowed to bring back the dead , but the hogfather can .\ntoo good for this sinful earth : the pure - hearted and innocent

they released chicken little . and the same year as this came mickey mouse clubhouse , which totally ruined mickey ' s reputation until 2010 , as well as brother bear 2 and the fox and the hound 2 , both regarded as two of the worst disney cheapquels . this was the second of hans christian anderson ' s works to be adapted by them for theatres , with the first obviously being the little mermaid in 1989 .\ndon hahn : disney is a director driven studio that supports the vision of individual film makers . now under the creative leadership of john lasseter , we have a chance to reach out in many directions creatively and emotionally with our work and it makes disney a very exciting place to be these days .\nand lastly this is a story for children . we were so happy to recently receive the children\u2019s award from the zagreb animation festival voted on by the children in the audience . we thought they would go for something funny or wacky , but to have them respond to the art and

around until she sees the butcher come to the window of his shop . she waves . he waves back . some customers come into the bakery and distract her , as the hunter and his dog return from the woods

.\nyour daily dose of bad : from the people who brought you the sissy .\nthe room , and the short , is populated by two characters - - the first and by far the busiest being a simple mechanical clamp on an accordion - style grabber attached to the wall . we first see it mixing a drink from two bottles of liqueur on a trolley , and it pours a snifter of each in a mixer and shakes well before delivering it in a tall glass with a straw to the shorts second character . the maestro is sitting in front of the mirror , a bit jittery but otherwise passive and wooden - - literally , as hes a stout little bird carved from lumber .\non the outskirts of whoville , there lives a green , revenge - seeking grinch who plans on ruining the christmas holiday for all of the citizens of the town .\nthe maestro has two ties to choose from , red and cerulean , and he goes with the blue one . slurping up the last of as his drink as quickly as possible before the grabber takes it away , the bird is spun in his chair prior to the grabber looping the tie around his neck . then it grabs him firmly by the back of the tie , lifts him off the chair and shoots him out the door for his evenings performance .\nthe butcher grabs the hunters gun and is about to shoot the dog when the hunter intervenes , taking the dog under his arm and going out into the woods to do the deed himself . meanwhile as it gets dark the butcher is cleaning up his shop when , to his horror , he sees the cat wandering outside , very much alive . the thought of the hunter killing his faithful companion fills him with remorse - - so he finds an empty sack , gets a sausage and tries to lure the poor kitty into the darkened shop .\non a cold new year ' s eve , a little girl freezes barefoot outside . she ' s sold none of her matches and is consequently afraid to return home , expecting a beating from her father . she looks into the window of the house she sits in front of , and imagines how nice it would be to celebrate with a family . then huddling in a corner , she begins to strike her matches one by one , at first to derive a little warmth , and then to keep seeing the beautiful images of warm fires , roast goose and christmas trees their light shows . she looks up and sees a shooting star , and recalls that her grandmother once told her that whenever a star streaks across the sky like that , a person goes to heaven . with the strike of another match , she sees her beloved grandmother , and lights all of her matches at once to keep her there . the next morning , new year ' s day , passing people find her frozen body huddled against the building and surrounded by dead matches , smiling . they are filled with pity , but it doesn ' t matter because the little match girl is now happy in heaven .\nthe next day the sequence repeats ; cat wakes butcher , butcher is grouchy , baker wakes , starts morning apple pie routine . the dog is chasing the cat this morning , and he trees it . out comes the baker to shake the apple tree , which now has a cat in it . the cats collar is stuck on a branch , and all the shaking breaks the collar as cat and bell come down into the bakers apron . cat jumps out and goes on its merry way ; bell stays with the apples and eventually goes straight into the apple pie that the woman places on the ground next to the butchers door .\nthe girl is overjoyed , but again the match goes out . angry and desperate in the cold alley , she lights all the remaining matches at once . the dream image returns : she falls into the loving arms of grandma , who takes her into the room with the christmas tree aglow , presents underneath , the candles on the tree glowing warmly to match her happiness . the next morning , back in the alley , the girl is slumped in the snow . from the shadows grandma approaches and wakes her ; she glows with relief and happiness ; and grandma carries her away on her shoulder - - leaving her tiny dead body behind in the snow as both of them vanish through the stone alley wall and disappear .\nremy and emile plead the case for rats by illustrating the historical and scientific facts about the species and their interaction with humans .\nroger allers : the structure of a short film allows one to experiment with techniques and telling stories that are more suited to a short story format . the\nconstraint\nof a short format actually allows a kind of freedom that feature films cannot . what will happen with them ? they may become part of dvds of features but i hope they will find their way to the large screen . of course that ' s the most satisfying stage for a filmmaker .\nwithin the world of animation , most experimentation occurs within short format productions , whether they are high - budgeted commercials , low - budgeted independent shorts or something in between . the growing number of short film festivals around the world attest to the vitality of these works , but there are few other venues for exhibition of them or even written reviews . as a result , distribution tends to be difficult and irregular . on a regular basis , animation world magazine will highlight some of the most interesting with short , descriptive overviews .\nodessa is a beautiful girl addicted to the attention and money as an adult film star . william , a lonely mechanic , has a crush on her , and she indulges his

dominated world would be made by a woman ? mark sawers offers less pointed satire than one might expect in no men beyond this point , a mock - doc imagining that men started to go extinct in the 1950s . funny on occasion and offering an imaginative detour or two , the canadian production isn ' t provocative or amusing enough to have much import potential but is at least not another tiresome piece of\nare men irrelevant ?\ntrend journalism .\nthe men getting these opportunities , jobs and nominations are not bad men . they are talented , and have , i assume , worked hard to get to where they are . it\u2019s not these men who are at fault . it\u2019s the system .\n\u201cthe dwindling population of men are desperate to reclaim their place in the sun . \u201d\n\u201cwho would sweep the streets , maintain the sewage systems\u2026 what would happen to advancements in science , biology , engineering and technology ? women really have no idea how dependent they are on men . \u201d\ni hoped this would be about women but it was still mostly about men despite the flipped power dynamic . would have been better written & directed by a woman\nok so a society where men are almost obsolete and somehow the entire movie was about those men and im also supposed to feel sorry for them ? keep it . or at the very least remake it and get women to write and direct it this time\n\u201cporcelain on steel , so apt a title for this book , takes us into the hallowed halls of west point and shows , through a series of personal narratives , the remarkable impact women cadets have had on this \u201cman\u2019s world\u201d military institution in just three decades .\nin a world where women have become asexual and are no longer giving birth to males , a quiet , unassuming housekeeper named andrew myers finds himself at the center of a battle to keep men from going extinct .\n\u201cthat led me to a world where women ruled and men were going extinct . i had to make it as a fake documentary in order to explain how this all came to be . my takeaway : men \u2014 can\u2019t live with us , can\u2019t live without us . \u201d\nin a movie about women inheriting the earth , men still get the most screen time . . .\nthe gags , many of which come packaged with the premise , largely fall flat . for all the thought put into no men , it still feels more like the makings of some solid sketch comedy than a feature film .\nit\u2019s when no men beyond this point starts exploring sex that the mockumentary begins to falter a bit . especially giving a rather bland attempt at poking holes in the idea of how women would handle being in power . earlier on , when sawers highlights how the stubbornness of men in power ultimately led to their downfall , the idea works . but once women take charge and rule in a reactionary way towards men , essentially trying to speed up their extinction , sawers portrays their rule as a conservative , sex - shaming authority , where women are not allowed to speak about their feelings of attraction whatsoever . it gives off an implication that women are inherently repressive when it comes to sexuality , a point that some people may take offense to . and with gender and sexuality turning into prominent issues recently , there\u2019s something a little old hat about sawers\u2019 film operating within the same standards that are being constantly challenged today .\nthe tipping point comes from a fairly innocuous instagram post . it\u2019s a group of musicians in a recording studio . a candid , behind - the - scenes shot . they are having fun and smiling . they are all men .\nthis article has a component height of 44 . the sidebar size is long .\nthe trailer shows women partnering up to co - parent their kids , as men stand on the sidelines .\n\u201cgood steel comes from a hot fire . in porcelain on steel , donna mcaleer has gathered the stories of an impressive array of women who have graduated from west point and served as leaders in our nation\u2019s army . all of the women in this collection have combined west point\u2019s creed of duty , honor , country , with their personal attributes of courage , perseverance , and vision , to achieve great success in their service to our country in uniform and beyond . from the beginning , the west point experience is one of accepting and discharging responsibility \u2013 personal responsibility as well as the overarching responsibility that is woven into leading soldiers . women entered west point thirty -

vintage clumsiness that doesn ' t quite connect . curious , not always predictable , parallels arise between the plight of men in this fake history and various human rights campaigns of the actual past . but none play through in a way that shows our own world in a new light .\nthe best short audience award winner for owa 2015 is aden , written and directed by gary h . lee . in this ambitious film ,\na jazz club in the heart of multicultural paris faces danger in this musical drama series from\nla la land\ndirector damien chazelle .\na newly minted military interrogator arrives at a covert detention center to discover that some of the terrorists held there are not of this world .\ntunisia and iceland have mastered gender equality where women have risen to the top of the heap with the inference that they\u2019re superior to men in every regard . ( hello margaret thatcher ? )\nwomen cadets at west point , from those who broke gender barriers as members of that first class of \u201980 to those standing in the long gray line today , have exceptional stories . the fine sampling of these stories contained in this highly recommended book carry the reader through their experiences in various classes . while each story is unique , common threads are present which link these women together as courageous pioneers and leaders . their tolerance for adversity is profound , as is their whole - hearted dedication to the west point ethos of duty , honor and country , and service to the nation . \u201d\n\u201cthe history of women on the hallowed grounds of west point for the past 30 years has largely been overlooked . porcelain on steel by donna mcaleer begins to change that , and brings alive the quality , character and contributions of women of courage , integrity and honor . these women are the type of inspiring models that our young people deserve and require . this is a great book about some of the women who helped make our west point military academy , \u2018 best college and business school in the country \u2018 ( forbes , aug . 2009 ) . if you are a teacher , a mentor , a parent or young adult looking for stories of ordinary people that have done extraordinary things with their life\u2014then you must read this book ! \u201d\nled by kristine cofsky , the large cast is good at being deadpan . then again , there ' s not much life to this movie .\nin this thriller , a man travels to a remote island in search of his missing sister , who was kidnapped by a murderous religious cult .\ni think what i really enjoyed about this film was the great amount of ambiguity to it - - although i think some people have raised concerns about a possible underlying heterosexism , cissexism , and antifeminist bent to this movie that also makes it artistically uninteresting . and while i think in a certain light those concerns have some basis , i must admit that while i can see how aspects of the movie could be interpreted in this light , i took this movie to be more fundamentally about how radical changes to social order impact the way we interact with each other . gender politics are of course there , how can they not be ? that said , i found there to be even more , in this movie , \u2026\nso , what does the tipping point mean for me ? it means quotas . point blank . and i say this because i , too , am an artist who is talented and has worked hard . on the occasions when i get a well - paid , high - profile opportunity or accolade , i know i deserve it . i don\u2019t want to give it up or pass it on to someone else . being an artist is tough at the best of times : opportunities are rare , awards scarce , and even basic , regular income is something most artists never experience . it is a very rare human indeed who would willingly refuse an opportunity , step down from a role or opt out of an accolade and say , no , please \u2013 give that to someone else who hasn\u2019t yet had the same opportunities as me .\n- kind of annoying that everything is about men + straight feelings , even a film set in a manless utopia . - what i wouldn ' t give to live in said manless utopia .\nwith years passing , and women\u2019s population increasing , men eventually became of no use . the film starts in the present day , where the documentary crew follows 37 - year - old andrew myers ( patrick gilmore ) , now the youngest man in the world . as men are being sent off to sanctuaries across the world to live out their remaining days , myers manages to get a job as a servant for partners terra ( tara pratt ) and iris ( kristine cofsky ) . eventually , andrew and iris being showing an attraction for each other and sawers uses their flirtations to delve into the messier aspects of his universe .\n\u201cthe admission of women to west point in 1976 strengthened the army and enabled the institution to better reflect the composition of the society it defends . porcelain on steel tells the compelling and inspiring stories of several of these brave women . the record of women who graduated from west point is superb , and they have served with distinction on our nation\u2019s battlefields and across a myriad of milieus . indeed , in every conflict over the past 30 years , the women of west point have demonstrated the exceptional traits our nation expects of a west pointer \u2013 selfless service , courage under fire , and commitment to country and duty . these admirable traits come to life in the riveting pages of porcelain on steel . \u201d\ncynics would call michael moore\u2019s where to invade next ? a quixotic quest , if not an outright bogus one . but naysayers aren\u2019t welcome this time .\nthis period drama follows robert the bruce ' s battle to regain control after being made an outlaw by the king of england for taking the scottish crown .\none of the unexpected facets of the distaff - dominated world as sawers imagines it is that , rather than becoming a lesbian utopia , it is ruled by women fearful of all sexuality .\ndon ' t touch it !\npleads an anti - masturbation scare film , and while women do pair up to raise families , they ' re expected to be chaste partners . this is a lot less believable than the taboo arising around romance with the few men who are left on earth , an adaptive response that would head off conflict as the pool of men shrinks .\nthis is a personal tipping point , and a specific point of view . but it comes from more than twenty years of lived experience as a female artist in a male - dominated industry . i am also aware of my own position of privilege , in that i am allowed spaces to articulate my concerns , and that my life circumstances have already afforded me many opportunities as an artist . i put all of these things together . i balance my own development as a writer \u2013 the fierce obsessions and small joys and great frustrations and deep insecurities and desire to get better \u2013 with what i observe about how different kinds of artists are supported through their development .\nfirst - time feature director maclean manages a delicate balancing act of orchestrating gunplay and death infused with a hefty measure of heart . but what makes slow west ultimately so entertaining is how much the film goes against expectations , and for a western\u2014that\u2019s no small feat .\naccording to its tiff synopsis , sawers \u201cenvisions a world\u201d where women have stopped giving birth to boys . \u201cvirgin births have been increasing exponentially in number since the 1950s , \u201d taking men out of the \u201cprocreation equation . \u201d\nthe precursor to this tipping point was a visit to acmi to see the martin scorsese exhibition . on display was a remarkable array of art and artefacts from the life and work of a truly gifted artist . i would hazard a guess and say that marty is also a man who respects the artistic talents of women \u2013 after all , one of his longest - standing and perhaps closest collaborators is his editor , thelma schoonmaker .\naphra behn has been championed ( & directed by ) gale edwards & others . her works are strikingly modern , dealing with gender , sex , race & class . but your point is again underscored by the fact that she is mostly ignored in the 21st century .\nthis sets off a chase through various unwholesome parts of town on an incongruous christmas eve , with our two trans sex workers acting as our potty - mouthed tour guides .\nthat marty mostly makes films about men , male violence and male relationships is not particularly surprising , nor is it essentially \u2018bad\u2019 . but it got me thinking about the last few exhibitions of this kind i\u2019d seen at acmi : david bowie ; tim burton ; those one - of - the - most - influential - artists - of - their - generation retrospectives . and that in turn got me wondering about the impact of visual culture , a world that \u2013 from movies to television , music videos to advertising \u2013 has been overwhelmingly created , run and dominated by men since the era of mass communications and popular culture began .\nbuen mockumentary . aunque la premisa es mejor que el resultado de la obra . a pesar de ser una comedia , senti que muchos de los chistes no funcionaban completamente . y al cambiar el tono en la ultima media hora , se pierde un poco el ritmo del absurdo .\nthe film states that the first fatherless pregnancies began in the 1950s , and the resulting change in the gender balance lead to the first female president of the us in 1965 . however , no change in the proportions of male - to - female voters could occur before the 1970s .\nkate has known about katya , of course . it\u2019s just that geoff\u2019s response to this news is a bit startling . he is rather more obsessed with katya\u2019s memory than kate had realized . it slowly dawns on kate that she\u2019s been in line behind a ghost all this time , playing second fiddle to a memory that\u2019s more alive than anything real or present .\nthird wave feminism calls this an instruction manual for the future . then we\u2019ll exterminate all the straights , white people , anyone to the right of stalin and of course the jews .\nin this branched timeline tale , around the mid 1950\u2019s woman began to give birth asexually via parthenogenesis . the first women , of course , weren\u2019t believed , but then the small flow\u2026\nms . mcaleer\u2019s tale follows its heroes from the initial shock and harassment of \u201cbeast barracks , \u201d through four years in the corps of cadets and beyond . from maj . lissa young , who became a crack helicopter pilot and wound up commanding a company of 300 soldiers and 18 chinook choppers , to capt . dawn halfaker , who lost an arm to an insurgent rpg in baqubah , iraq but went on to found and run her own company in support of the war on terrorism , the women profiled in porcelain on steel have blazed the trail that will be followed by thousands in the years to come . men have no monopoly on courage , honor and the passion to serve . thank you , donna mcaleer , for shining a light on these women who have lived out and been true to , often in the face of bitter and small - minded opposition , their own highest selves . \u201d\nthe girls try to make the best of their imprisonment by pretending and fantasizing . at one point the youngest sister leads an escape to a football match , where the crowd is all female . the girls next plan to flee to istanbul , which elevates the film into a tense thriller .\never since the 1950s , there have been a growing number of virgin births . at first , this was denied by governments but has grown at such a rate that it could no longer be ignored . moreover , these were all becoming female births . as women came to take over society , men were increasingly regarded as irrelevant . war decreased and eventually men were banished to reservations and fed doses of oestrogen to make them more docile in the hope that they would eventually just die out . a train of thinking has emerged that regards sex as something that women will evolutionarily grown out of . andrew myers is the youngest man alive in the world at age 37 and works as a domestic servant to partners terra granger and iris balashev and their daughters . as a documentary crew films them , iris enjoys painting using andrew as a subject , trying to capture the essence of man . as the filmmakers then uncover , andrew and iris are conducting a forbidden romantic liaison .\nthe feature debuted at the toronto international film festival , and early word is that it ' s quite happy to make audiences uncomfortable in all the right ways . festival founder bears fonte explained , \u201cthis is a challenging work , full of thought , and unafraid to be a little politically incorrect . i know the owa audience is going to enjoy this alternate history lesson . \u201d\ndirector muntean challenges audience expectations in this slow - burn thriller . here\u2019s a death where the facts don\u2019t quite add up , and damned if muntean is going to make them do so .\n\u201cwomen are making absolutely essential contributions to our ongoing wars in iraq and afghanistan . porcelain on steel tells the story of how many of them made their way from west point to the battlefield , and will inspire their sisters and brothers to make the same thoughtful choice to serve our nation . \u201d\nfassbender\u2019s silas , seemingly cold and curt , reveals to have some evolving personal integrity , and a knack for a comic aside . smit - mcphee takes jay beyond pathetic and upward to determined and noble . newcomer caren pistorius as rose has little screen - time but owns it when she has it . she is one of many welcome surprises to be found in slow west .\nwhile michael jordan , scottie pippen and phil jackson were the stars of the bulls ' dynasty , there were plenty of role players that helped along the way . this is a tribute to them .\n\u201cdonna mcaleer\u2019s collection of stories of leadership and service is an important contribution to the history of west point\u2019s long gray line . what these women have accomplished\u2013what these officers and soldiers have accomplished\u2013makes for an inspiring reminder of the best that our nation has to offer . porcelain on steel is an uplifting and important book . \u201d\nrobert smith argued that the film is actually proof we\u2019re living in male - hating society . \u201cif the premise was reversed , \u201d he wrote , \u201cthis film would never be allowed to be released . \u201d\nfor my part , i liked this movie fine . it ' s competently made , and even if its treatment of its central topic is clumsy , it ' s good enough for a weekday evening .\nincredibly , the whole movie was shot on iphones with yellow filters and a frequently phenomenal wide - screen look . this seeming gimmick lends great intimacy to a highly mobile tale more about texture than drama .\nit took a few more years before bulls general manager jerry krause put together the rest of the pieces that would form the first three - peat squad . the 1987 draft was obviously key , with the bulls acquiring pippen in a draft - day trade and then selecting clemson forward horace grant with the no . 10 pick .\nthere\u2019s a subplot with an armenian cab driver ( karren karagulian ) unhappy with his traditional home life , but this pays off with pretty amusing cameos , especially by ex\u2013western star clu gulager as a drunken passenger .\n\u201craw\u201d and \u201cgritty\u201d best describes the tone of tangerine , a take - no - prisoners view of life in an l . a . replete with \u2019hos , pimps , cops , and fast food . actually , the movie is also a raucous , darkly funny comedy in the hands of director sean baker and co -

and his family diversified into other trades . \u201d\nsensing instability on the silver screen , the popular anchor - turned - actor ma ka pa anand continues as a host on a tv talk show . it looks like he does not want to give it up while continuing to sign films that come his way . apparently , his film kadalai has been in the making for a long time , and has even changed its title from deepavali thuppakki to kadalai . the makers had trouble with this title , as another production house has registered the same titled .\nthough none of the stores could volunteer much information , vaithialingam , an 85 - year - old wholesale dealer in the town , says , \u201cponnambala nadar had a grocery store in the bazaar area around 1940 . five years later , he decided to use the excess peanuts in his store to make kadalai mittai . he was quality conscious and made a name . \u201d though no more , ponnambalam\u2019s kadalai mittai , the first to be branded in the town , is remembered

for 40 years . his partner ramachandran says , \u201ckadalai mittai is made all over the state , but in kovilpatti , the best ingredients go into making it . that is how the practice of buying the candy in kilos rather than slabs became common here . \u201d the kadalai mittai usually takes the form of a slab of squares wedged together . in kovilpatti , it is found as single rectangular chunks , or rather cuboids , sealed in packets . i nibble at the candy and the flavour of peanuts and slightly intoxicating syrup make a heady combo . the best part is not only that it\u2019s cheap ( you can get a slab for rs . 9 and a kilo for rs . 64 ) , but you can gorge on the candy without reaching that tipping point that happens with most sweets .\nthe makers of the kadalai mittai here are taking a

there\u2019s a message for the younger generation . \u201d\nbut the essence of getting this south - indian equivalent of chikki right , lies in the consistency of the jaggery syrup , says gokul ram . he leads us to the recesses of m . n . s . anjaneyar vilas that has an image of an air - borne hanuman bearing a tray of kadalai mittai . while the shop front has mounds of yellow , orange and red sev

see men with decidedly drab umbrellas wading through the waterlogged road . the sky is a bulging grey , a cold wind creeps in and there is something phantasmical about a solitary car zipping through

wayside . they turn out to be the salt pans that thoothukudi district in tamil nadu is renowned for .\nas i walk up to k . s . kadalaimittai , i\u2019m stunned at the rows of sweets and savouries in

candy , bright yellow wavy sev , kathiswaran ticks off names \u2014 ellu mittai , cocoa mittai , cheeni mittai , karupatti mittai and yeni padi mittai .\nwhen i coax him to spill more secrets , ramachandran says , \u201capart from the quality of ingredients , it has to do with the jaggery \u2014 we melt two or three types of jaggery to get the syrup . \u201d\nnagajothi at mnr sakthi ganesh , which has a 60 - year - old history , shows us the special jaggery \u2014 \u201ctheni vellam\u201d , named after a town in south - west tamil nadu . this is not the brown , hardened , round lump of jaggery . theni vellam is a pale , soft triangular block of jaggery , freshly made . the groundnuts are sourced from the nearby town of aruppukottai . the groundnuts are shelled , and then roasted in a machine .\na stocky , bare - bodied kannan is bent over a massive cauldron where the special and ordinary jaggery are melted in boiling water . as the paagu or syrup thickens , a mind - numbing aroma fills the room . once kannan decides the syrup is ready , he adds glucose water . ayyakannu , his mate , empties the roasted and crushed groundnuts into the syrup , sprinkling a little vanilla essence . finding each other , the ingredients send out a giddy scent \u2014warm and overpowering .\nwhen the syrup bubbles up turning a golden brown , the preparation takes on an alchemical turn . ayyakannu may have no education to speak of , but he evidently has mastery over some strange principle of physics . with accurately timed , swift clockwise and anticlockwise moves of his ladle , he ensures the bubbles dissipate and a lump of peanuts embedded in hardened syrup emerges . folding it like a pillow , ayyakannu plunks it on a board . with a rolling pin , he proceeds to flatten it into a nutty bed . rolling over a measuring plank and knife , he makes surgical strokes till hundreds of lines crisscross the mittai . finally , with a sweep of his hand , he breaks up the chunks that fall apart like the pieces of a finished puzzle . i am a little alarmed at the rapid strokes with the knife that are just half - inch apart . \u201ci did have bleeding fingers in the first few months when i started , but i have been doing this for 50 years now , \u201d he smiles .\nroast groundnuts . in a vat , heat water . melt both types of jaggery . keep stirring till the syrup reaches a fine

and pretty much useless - inventions that together with their original smarts turn the missions into romping fun adventures never - before - seen in the world of espionage .\nmortadelo y filemon ( known to anglophones as mort & phil ) are beloved spanish comics characters . first featured in 1958 , it was a comic book that first launched the two characters into the european zeitgeist . as the spanish\nduring the franco era it was stated that both mortadelo and filemon were homosexual , asserting that\ntwo male characters , single , shared apartment , sleeping in the same room , one of which he disguised himself often women , was for his synonymous detractors of homosexuality .\naccording to javier fesser , the film ' s director ,\nmortadelo & filemon\nhas a style that is neither photo - realistic nor traditionally animated . the intention behind this unique style is to convey the imperfections of a dirty world .\nmortadelo & filemon\nis especially remarkable because of the budget constraints under which it was created .\nwe pushed the efficiency of the studio ,\nsaid fesser ,\nfinding new workflows to produce stable shaders , writing custom software to reuse lighting between shots and a whole suite of animation tools for a streamlined production .\nfilemon and mortadelo are persecuted by the super or appear hidden in the most inhospitable and remote places on the planet ( the gobi desert , the sahara , the golan heights , the columbretes islands , easter island , antarctica , etc . ) while beside him , a newspaper realizes the mess shift , while cautioning that the super is looking for partners for a completely different place .\n, this is woefully lost in translation ) \u2014 that ' s been infiltrated by jimmy el cachondo , who has obtained some of the agency ' s most embarrassing internal data . fearful they ' ll be ridiculed by other spy agencies , the t . i . a ' s commissioner enlists some assistance from back pocket agents mortadelo and filemon .\nis a modern take on the classic characters . mortadelo and filemon had always been rooted in cartoonish slapstick extremes , and this film is a high - end tribute to that . though it ' s been acclaimed by critics \u2014 it won for best adapted screenplay and best animated feature at the 2014 goya awards ( think spanish oscars ) \u2014 it feels as much like a love letter from someone that wanted to bankroll a childhood favourite .\nwhile the characters are all but unknown to american audiences , mort & phil have a big following in spain and have starred in two successful live - action features over the last decade\u2014 la gran aventura de mortadelo y filem\u00f3n in 2003 and mortadelo y filem\u00f3n . misi\u00f3n : salvar la tierra in 2008 . their appearances in animation have been irregular , and most of the animation that has been made with the characters , like the 1960s theatrical short series and 1994 tv series , look cheap .\nat the same time , a monstrous criminal , tronchamulas , who filemon put in prison and is now looking for vengeance , is pursuing filemon , the bossier , delusional one of the pair . because of a personality reversal elixir created by the t . i . a . ' s professor bacterio called\nreverscence ,\nthey end up banding together to take down jimmy el cachondo and his henchmen . then they just end up fighting each other .\nthere\u2019s a fascinating box office match - up brewing in spain this weekend between dreamworks animation\u2019s penguins of madagascar and the homegrown spanish cgi feature mortadelo y filem\u00f3n contra jimmy el cachondo , which will be released by warner bros . the latter is based on francisco ib\u00e1\u00f1ez\u2019s beloved comic book characters mortadelo y filem\u00f3n ( mort & phil ) , and as you\u2019ll see in the trailer below , they\u2019ve got the same slapstick - spy setup as the penguins :\nwhen jimmy steals a safe from the tia ( not cia ) building , the superintendent ( mariano venancio ) instructs our heroes to recover it . further bad news arrives in the form of the monstrous tronchamulas ( victor monigote ) , a violent , three - ton criminal who wishes to take revenge on filemon by doing a terrible , nameless \u201csomething\u201d to him . professor bacterio ( all characters are visually faithful recreations of the originals ) has invented a serum called reversicine , intended to transform mortadelo and filemon into intelligent beings , but tronchamulas is accidentally injected with it , whereon he becomes gentle and baby - like , also revealing that he is jimmy\u2019s cousin .\nhe is a little lower than mortadelo . in the early years of the comic ' s publication he had the most prominent and aquiline nose , carrying a large pipe in his mouth and a sherlock holmes - like outfit , jacket and hat plush ; in fact , in 1404 the number of pulgarcito he even wearing raincoat and hat boxes characteristic of most holmes illustrations .\nwhen mortadelo leans back in his chair in the super ' s office , as they return from the reality show fiasco , the tails of his coat pass through the chair .\nthe ddt , the professor bacterio ' s dangerous invention has just been stolen by the dictator of tirania . the s\u00faper wants to recover it but he knows that it should not call mortadelo and . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthis primitive aspect was purging itself over time , soon acquiring a similar current appearance : filemon gradually reduced his nose and his clothing consisted of a black bow tie , white shirt , generally red pants and sometimes a matching jacket . he has only two hairs on his head , pointing in different directions .\nthe pages of a mortadelo and filemon comic book are packed with detail , verbal wit , and visual invention , and on screen this translates into a hyperactivity and breathlessness which is at times almost exhausting : it\u2019s the kind of viewing experience designed to deliver new visual pleasures on a second viewing as the viewer refocuses on the background . many of these pleasures are satirical spanish references - - to spanish reality tv , for example , or even to the failed 1981 coup d\u2019etat - - which will fly over the heads of non - spanish viewers , as will the constant punning , which will make subtitlers sweat .\ncanadian animator richard williams worked on his film\nthe thief and the cobbler\nfor nearly three decades , its completion and screening delayed time and time again by production woes and lack of funding . though some portions of the film were combined with work from other animators and released as \u201cthe princess and the cobbler\u201d and \u201carabian knight , \u201d to this day , the original version has never been publicly screened .\nearly scenes portray an entertainingly hi - tech , glossy variation on classic m & f slapstick motifs before it\u2019s revealed that it\u2019s all been a dream by filemon ( janfri topera ) . we\u2019re returned to the ramshackle , comically violent , malfunctioning gadget - filled world they normally inhabit , something like a mash - up between looney tunes and wallace and gromit . brainless , but an expert in disguise , mortadelo ( karra elejalde ) and his temperamental boss work for a criminal investigation agency , under threat from a dastardly marty feldman lookalike called \u201cjimmy el cachondo\u201d ( gabriel chame ) , loosely translatable as \u201cjimmy the joker\u201d .\nsounds crazy , right ? it is , and it doesn ' t stop there . the appeal to mort and phil has always been slapstick , and while it ' s usually filemon that gets the worst of it , no one is safe ; every character , at one point or another , loses a limb or a whole set of teeth ( the latter are an especially big thing in this film \u2014\nspain ' s contribution to 20th -

actually a morality play , each of the characters are representative , archetypal character types , divided initially between respectable and disrespectable social outcasts . however by film ' s end , the disreputable members of society prove to be the most noble , virtuous , and selfless .\nthe film starts out rather tepidly with murky development of its characters ( not so on repeated viewings ) ; it is hard to tell where the film is headed for . once past the quarter mark , it gathers steam and the characters become well -

respected by his peers , even influencing greats like japanese legend akira kurosawa . this is , without question , a great film by a great director .\n, geronimo ( played by john war eagle ) besieges a lonely frontier fort held by union forces . the surrounded garrison\u2019s fate rests in the hands of noble confederates led by a gentlemanly commanding officer , who , off the screen , will become the 40th president of the united states\u2014ronald reagan .\n, j . t . allen\u2019s script begins with the tragic killing of goyahkla\u2019s family when he is a young man and then continues to chart the twists and turns of his life as geronimo throughout his days as a prisoner of war . the storyline , while far from completely factual , nonetheless provides better historical insights than that of any previous fictional rendering . joseph runningfox\u2019s version of gerinomo ( shown above ) reaches audiences before wes studi\u2019s portrayal ( see last slide ) , since the tv version is released in advance of the feature film .\ndirector peter bogdanovich ( 14 : 15 ) sings the praises of the film and its methods , with aptly -

and - white , even seemingly taking a life of its own .\nthe group is destined for a town called lordsburg , which is problematic because that requires going through apache country , where geronimo and company are rumored to be on the warpath . the stagecoach is escorted by soldiers only part of the way ; the rest of the trip , they ' re on their own , a fact observed with caution and concern .\n, the 1937 short story by ernest haycox on which the film is based . descriptive , brief , and only loosely adapted , it ' s obviously worth a read . the booklet closes with a technical explanation of the transfer and its unfixed defects , followed by dvd credits and acknowledgements .\nthe stagecoach tells the story of a trip which is spiced up by the fact that geronimo geronimo and his apaches are on the warpath in the area . there are well written characters in this star - studded ride . a convict john wayne , drunk doctor thomas mitchell ( in a oscar - winning role ) , scorned prostitute claire trevor , polished gambler john carradine , pregnant teenager louise platt , a banker who has stolen his client\u2019s money , whiskey salesman donald meek , lawman george bancroft and driver andy devine . shot in utah\u2019s monument valley stagecoach tells a story never told before in western cinema . it outmoded the westerns came before and it set a benchmark for all which followed . watch this western movie and see what made john wayne the \u2018duke\u2019 !\nj / w starred in 176 films over a span of 50 years . i am currently looking for 16 , but sadly a for a few of them there are no known copies . the john wayne film society is a great source for information . membership opens up to a lot more films . .\nthis colorful , staple - bound 32 - pager lists chapters and cast & key crew before giving us two solid reads . first is david cairns ' 5 - page essay\ntaking the stage\n, a lofty dissection of the film and its context . perhaps more exciting is what ' s next ,\n\u2026is the indie trailblazers award celebrated ! the festival salutes one film that epitomizes the bare bones philosophy \u2013 \u201ca budget is what you make of it ; \u201d and \u201cby any means necessary ! \u201d this honor has been awarded to director kyle roberts and his team of young actors and crew for the posthuman project .\nfor the first three - quarters , the film is a light , character - driven ensemble drama . with the distinct personalities established quickly and effectively , we ' re able to tag along and observe . with the threat of indian savagery looming , two unlikely couples seem to form between ladylike anna and her protector hatfield\nthough the spontaneity of extemporization is missed , well - spoken kitses provides something far better as he calls attention to interesting background information , character nuances , and technical aspects . sure , it ' s a little pretentious , but also quite accessible and engaging . the film ' s soundtrack rises during kitses ' highly rare pauses .\nthrough the majestic rock formations of monument valley , the stagecoach is followed by the cavalry troops riding guard , while curley and buck converse in a two - shot on the driver ' s seat ( as they often do in the film ) . dense and poor , buck comically complains about his domestic situation with his distinctively squeaky voice :\ntrue to its original design , the film is presented in a single - channel monaural soundtrack . the elements are clearly dated and the mix never shakes a slight hum and hiss . while i consider this audio acceptable , the included subtitle track is sometimes useful ( sadly , criterion has yet to extend this luxury to bonus features ) .\nis proud to contain one of the most stunning action sequences ever captured on film - the apache attack . featuring death - defying stuntwork , and superlative camerawork and editing , it is incredible in its execution and is probably the reason ford earned his second oscar nomination for best director . it has also inspired a similar sequence in steven spielberg\u2019s\n, which would be wayne ' s star - making film , was john ford ' s first sound western . ford had directed plenty of silent westerns ( few of which survive today ) , but in his first ten years of talkies , he had made war dramas , seafaring adventures , a shirley temple movie , and mistaken - identity comedies .\nprovides all of these staples , but saves most of its action for the final act , which culminates with a hotly - anticipated vengeance shootout that pits ringo against troublemaker luke plummer and his two brothers . there isn ' t a gun fired until the film ' s final 25 minutes , when an extended scene excitingly offers little more than that .\ndoes little better in its depiction of geronimo , who is played by an unlikely tom tyler ( above , at left ) , a minor b - western cowboy - turned - apache for this less - than - memorable movie . in an even more unusual twist for casting , tyler appears opposite lucille ball and james craig ( above , at right ) in this tale of an undercover government agent bent on bringing a stereotypical dishonest indian agent to justice .\nis widely considered the best western of its time and the times leading up to it , but you needn ' t have a soft spot for that pass\u00e9 genre to appreciate this . feeling like a perilous , much more confined grand hotel on wheels , this is a very good movie made in an era when the american film industry had no shortage of very good movies . while\nthis film debuted john ford ' s favorite setting - the majestic monument valley of the southwest - the first of seven films he made in the famed western valley , followed by my darling clementine ( 1946 ) , fort apache ( 1948 ) , she wore a yellow ribbon ( 1949 ) , the searchers ( 1956 ) , sergeant rutledge ( 1960 ) , and cheyenne autumn ( 1964 ) .\n\u2026is the home of the indie auteur of the year award ; where recognition is honored to filmmakers who evenhandedly wear a minimum of 5 hats ( positions ) from the inception of pre -

ending\u2026\ndisc one contains just two bonus features . first and more substantial is an audio commentary by film historian / professor and western scholar jim kitses . evidently reading from a script , kitses is more rehearsed , calculated , and scholarly than most commentators . despite this approach , he stills spends much of the time remarking about what ' s on screen ( i can only imagine the kind of preparation this required ) .\n' s more modest modern - day accolades include placement on two of the american film institute ' s lists ; ranking 63rd on 1998 ' s original\n100 years . . . 100 movies\ncountdown ( it was among the number of films that dropped off in the afi ' s 2007 tally ) and coming in ninth among ten western films in 2008 ' s genre -

( john wayne fans may wish the star was given more notice here . ) the solid audio commentary and the revealing 72 - minute interview with ford are most winning , but all of criterion ' s usual nice touches are appreciated as always .\n, is as familiar to paratroopers today as it was in wwii . it is a dramatic and lively tune that never lost its appeal over the years . it is almost impossible to attend a major ceremony in the 82nd airborne division at fort bragg without hearing this staple of war - era music fill the air . so well - loved is this song that even troopers who are not so musically inclined find themselves drawn into singing along ! in the civilian world , remnants of the confidence - inspiring yell remain . they can still be seen in the actions of that kid jumping from the death - defying height of the top bunk and yelling what he thinks might be his last word ,\ngeronimo\n.\nwhen doc explains that he is leaving town permanently , the bartender acquiesces and provides him with a free drink :\njust this one .\nthe only other person in the bar is another passenger from the coach , mr . samuel peacock ( donald meek ) , a timid , solemn whiskey drummer ( salesman ) . [ peacock is continually mistaken for a clergyman , and called by incorrect names throughout the film - hancock and haycock . ] the three characters - the bartender , doc , and peacock - form a triangle , with peacock at its apex in the background .\nthe credit titles are presented with a woodblock style typeface . following the credits but before the main story , a short prologue presents the perilous atmosphere . two couriers ( one a cheyenne indian ) gallop on horseback to a military / cavalry outpost , going past where a flag is being raised . faintly in the background ,\ni dream of jeannie with the light brown hair\nis heard on the soundtrack . they report to a captain and lieutenant ( tim holt ) that apaches\nhave burnt every ranch building in sight\nand\nare being stirred up by geronimo .\nthe captain is assured that the passive - faced indian scout ( chief big tree ) isn ' t lying :\nnaw , he ' s a cheyenne . they hate apaches worse than we do .\nthe next day he fulfilled his promise . eberhardt ' s fellow paratroopers heard the word ,\ngeronimo\nrepeatedly fill the air from the moment he jumped out until his feet touched the ground ! others in the platoon picked up on the idea in their subsequent parachute jumps and the beginnings of a tradition formed in the skies above lawson army airfield as more of the platoon mimicked private eberhardt ' s bold , mid - air yell . had an indian warrior ' s name ever before been used in such an adrenaline - filled situation ? in all probability this idea was born in the mind of none other than a us army private , with his only help being a mountain of paratrooper confidence and the inspiring chief thunder cloud on the screen of the fort benning ' s main post theatre .\nset in the wake of the civil war , this film lets us travel west from arizona territory to new mexico . the titular vehicle gathers a diverse lot of strangers from various walks of life . our initial point of entry is lucy mallory ( louise platt ) , a quiet soldier ' s wife intending to meet her husband . she is joined by two people driven out of town by the women ' s league of law and order : broke , ever - drunken doctor boone ( thomas mitchell ) and dallas ( top - billed claire trevor ) , a woman of ill repute . also present are mr . peacock (\n( 27 : 09 ) . this premiere installment of the film - adapting nbc radio series\nscreen director ' s playhouse\nhas john wayne and claire trevor aurally reprising their roles , with ward bond playing doc boone and john ford introducing the performance . it stays close to the movie , only heavily condensing it for a half - hour of airtime . while it can be heard on a standard dvd player , the program is better enjoyed via the eight transferable mp3 files criterion has included for dvd - rom use ( which have the fast - forwarding , rewinding , and pausing capabilities the dvd ' s playback lacks ) .\ni have no doubt that this is the superior dvd release of the film , but don ' t get rid of warner ' s special edition if you have it and appreciate its many exclusive bonus features . if you ' re blu - ray - equipped but selective with your premium purchases , you might like to know that the identically - priced single - disc blu - ray is actually now selling for a dollar and a half less than the dvd at amazon . whichever format you opt for , criterion ' s release garners a recommendation for anyone fond of ford , wayne , or the golden age of hollywood at large .\n( 54 : 24 ) . one of ford ' s earliest works , this comedy western tells of a love triangle , as a simple wyoming rancher ( played by harry carey , sr . ) tries to regain the girl ( molly malone ) he lost to a mustachioed horse inspector from new york city ( vester pegg ) . a copy of the film , long feared lost , was discovered in 2002 and restored . that explains why , alternating between gold and green tinting , it looks and sounds fresh with new intertitles and piano score . unfortunately , it did very little for me on any level , beyond reminding me that a lot of silent films are really boring by today ' s standards .\nso this movie doesn\u2019t stand tall only due to its mass popularity , it also has got official accolades to corroborate its significance among classic western movies . the movie opens on a funeral . the funeral of tom doniphan ( john wayne ) . a u . s . senator ( ransom stoddard - james stewart ) and his wife have come back to the small town of shinbone to attend this funeral , in an unnamed western state . the senator explains a newsman why he has come to bury an apparent nobody . he narrates the whole story and the film unfolds in flashback . fold by fold movie reveals the secret behind the man once who shot a feared outlaw liberty valance . a must watch from john wayne movies collection !\nbuck inquires about his regular\nshotgun guard\nin the sheriff ' s office , learning that he is\nout with a posse . . . trying to catch the ringo kid\nwho probably\nbusted out\nof the penitentiary and is\naimin ' to get even with them plummer boys\nwhose testimony sent him there .

culture references , topical concerns addressed almost in passing , and narrative fracturing devices . by contrast , the second half seems almost devoid of ambition , turning instead to a far more straightforward depiction of not - so - complex romantic geometry and impending violence . that the opening act is no more satisfying than its stripped down successor is largely the result of a dilettantish quality on the filmmakers\u2019 part , the idea that cataloguing items of cultural and social significance is akin to addressing them and that constant editorializing on the proceedings is the best way to forestall criticism .\nmovies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide -

language version of moana recorded ( an industry first ) , and involved her in every step of casting its voice actors . non - english lyrics are included in the film\u2019s score , thanks to the input from samoan musician opetaia foa\u2019i , who worked in concert with composer mark mancina and songwriter lin - manuel miranda .\nwe talk a lot about the evolving relationship between technology and culture . in order to help our readers keep up with the fast - paced changes of our increasingly digital world , we\u2019ve decided to analyze the valuable lessons about technology contained within the most educational material that we as a society have ever produced : hollywood films . today\u2019s lesson :\nhackers is a movie too awful to dislike . after i watched it recently i had a great laugh reading the reviews ( pro and con ) at rotten tomatoes . i bet every time brad pitt teases angelina jolie about this bomb she fires up a copy of cool world .\nthough\nkids\nis almost certain to receive an nc -

stage mayhem and , perversely , derive no actual thrills from it . vaughn loves to especially home in on whiskey ( pedro pascal ) as he wields a rope lined with a laser edge that can dice foes , but shots of the statesman in combat favor darting pans that insistently follow the point of his whip like a dog that can only look at your finger pointing and never to whatever it is you\u2019re actually pointing at .\nin the film ' s tense conclusion , the two agents engaged in a fight - to - the - death combat atop his destroyed control center - lair in cuba . bond raced to disarm the transmitter - antenna of a large satellite dish communicating with a second , deadly rogue goldeneye satellite nuclear - weapon .\nand cravalho , who grew up on stories of maui , was able to incorporate her own ideas of the demigod while also expanding on her hawaii - based knowledge : \u201ci believed that maui and all of his amazing stories was hawaiian . what i didn\u2019t know was he was actually shared all across polynesia . our maui in moana is actually just this awesome demigod that has stories from different places all around polynesia . he has the ones that i grew up with\u2014raising islands out of the sea and slowing down the sun\u2014but also others that i didn\u2019t know . he\u2019s different than i would have imagined , but so much , much more . \u201d\nharriet ( taking the name anita vanger when she fled ) was found grown up and living in australia , although every year on her birthday from a different worldwide location , she had sent henrik a framed , pressed and dried flower ( he had thought they were coming from her taunting killer ) .\nin the brilliant first two - thirds of the film , the focus was on the strange and random behavior of the mother ( a\nbait - and - switch\ndirectorial technique ) , not on what the twins were doing . they went to extremes to test and torment her - changing the film ' s mood to torture - porn . elias let a giant pet madagascar hissing cockroach squirm from his sleeping mother ' s chest into her mouth . in a ghastly and brutal torture sequence , the two twins tied their mother to her bed and demanded that she prove her identity , or tell them where their real mother was .\nrenny harlin updates the flynn classic swashbucklers by a ) casting a female , geena davis , as the lead , and b ) injecting more\nboom !\ninto the mix with a lot of pyrotechnics . it almost works . its a brash , brawling pirate film alright and sorta fun alright but it somehow fails to connect . matt modine plays the flynn part okay , flynn in the supporting position instead of as the lead , which is disconcerting , but maybe what ' s missing more in the film is the objective : the flynn pirates took the gold too , but were actually\nfighting for england !\nor\nfreedom !\nor some such and not simply the booty . . .\nreally , though , the movie is more about how the rise of technology impacts our lives , and our changing ideas and concerns about privacy . bennett was easily seduced by devlin because he spied on her describing her ideal man in a chat room , and filled in the details by going through her records . as she says , our entire lives are recorded on computers , from our work to our taste in movies . in 1995 , this was a shocking problem that people had to learn to deal with . in 2013 , it ' s basically how facebook works .\namong the blissfully unaware hooligan footsoldiers is the nervous wreck gumbo \u2013 the film\u2019s enduring and endearing cult hero , who jars gherkins for a living and who everyone \u201cfucking loves\u201d at one point or another \u2013 and , for some reason , a fire - eating extra who\u2019s wandered in from a dexy\u2019s midnight runners video .\nnot that i . d . is a relentlessly grim affair . it\u2019s joyously quotable , which is surely a huge part of its cult status , and the rapport john builds with the shadwell hooligans ( and , initially , with his undercover colleagues ) can be genuinely charming , which indirectly explains why he gets so wrapped up in it all .\ngoing out unrated takes the stigma off the film ,\nharvey weinstein said .\nit also enables us to circumvent theater chains that won ' t play nc - 17 movies because of clauses in their lease and newspapers that won ' t run their ads . because of these policies , we had to sell the martin lawrence nc - 17 - rated concert film ' you so crazy ' to [ the samuel ] goldwyn [ co . ] last year . it went out unrated and generated 400 bookings . if it was nc - 17 , they would have gotten 50 .\nalong the way , he met up with his brother who exclaimed about crs :\nthey just f - - k you , and they f - - k you , and they f - - k you . then , just when you think it ' s all over , that ' s when the real f - - king starts .\nread between the lies\nwas the intriguing tagline for roman polanski ' s taut and increasingly - claustrophobic film about paranoia and power struggles . it had similarities to real - life political figures , including british prime minister tony blair and his wife claire , us sec . of state condoleeza rice , and the halliburton corporation .\nthe film concluded with ginger transformed into a monstrous ginger - wolf engaging in a killing spree , including a threatening showdown with her sister , who up until this point had attempted to rescue ginger from her animalistic urges . brigitte felt she no longer had a bond with her sister - she had a choice to either cure her sister with a syringe of\nwerewolf antidote\nor to kill her with a knife , and chose the latter (\ni ' m not dying in this room with you\n) . she was intimately close to ginger - wolf , hugging her when she exhaled her last breath .\ninstead , todd haynes , the writer and director , has something more insidious up his sleeve . the movie starts out dealing with one problem ( environmental poisoning ) and ends up attacking another ( a blissed - out cult that charges big dollars to suffering people , who pay to hear the leader blame them for their troubles ) . and then there ' s another level . to some degree ,\nsafe\nsuggests that carol may in fact be responsible for aspects of her illness . her life and world are portrayed as so empty , so pointless , that perhaps she has grown allergic as a form of protest . in that case , the spa won ' t help either , because it is simply a new form of the same spoiled lifestyle .\nhistorical villain upgrade : the movie . being based off of richard iii ( a play that makes a point of vilifying one side of a brutal grey and grey civil war and whitewashing the other ) made it inevitable , but the film goes beyond . rather than turning richard into a medieval tyrant , he gets turned into a nazi .\ngo see the net instead of this dog . the net , starring the girl from the bus .\nit has got to be one of the cheesiest pirate movies to ever be put on screen , but by the end of the film you can appreciate it for what it was . the film feels like it is very self - aware of itself , which i love , and the action does not disappoint , even though it is very very over - the - top . the acting is not that great and the bad one liners make me cringe , but it is pretty funny to watch at times . the story is not original in any way , but it is kind of forgivable . i enjoyed some of this movie , but some scenes just bored me to death .\ncutthroat island\nis a guilty pleasure one time around , but that is about it .\none measure of how far mr . lee has come lies in this film ' s credit sequence , another of the show - stoppers for which he has long been praised . it ' s a far cry from the scrappiness of\ndo the right thing ,\nin which rosie perez danced and boxed to the angry sound of public enemy ' s\nfight the power ,\nto the\nclockers\nmontage of young black men whose fights have already been lost . replicating grisly crime - scene photographs , and softening their horrific look with gentle colors and a lulling score , mr . lee begins with a scathing sense of the futility that\nclockers\nwill describe . the film ' s occasional billboard - level denunciations of guns and drugs are superfluous after that .\nthe three main sections of the film were told from different viewpoints : first tully , then jake , and finally lena . jake was warned not to get involved by various competing interests , and clearly cautioned by american colonel muller ( beau bridges ) :\nwhen i was at west point , we put a uniform on a mule .\nit opened with the hiring of a new unnamed ghostwriter ( ewan mcgregor ) for retired , semi - disgraced british pm adam lang ( pierce brosnan ) forced into foreign exile . the body of the previous writer of lang ' s autobiography and memoirs , mike mcara , mysteriously washed up on the shore of martha ' s vineyard ( supposedly he had drowned and had been drinking ) , when his vehicle aboard the ferry was found abandoned ( it was rumored\nit was the book that killed him\n) .\nproducer osnat shurer admits that the decision to make moana next in line to govern her village may be the one cultural inconsistency the film got away with . ( well , that and the plumeria flowers , which technically came to hawaii after its first contact with europeans . but the animators couldn\u2019t resist adding a splash of color . ) \u201cwe could consider it a modern update , \u201d shurer said of moana\u2019s future as chief , which is established in the story as an anchor keeping the adventurous girl chained to her island . but she also points out that there are women chiefs in samoa , and a \u201cfluidity in the pacific islands of how gender is treated . and often a boy might want to be want to be considered a girl , a young woman might grow up in positions that were originally reserved for girls\u2014and people accept it and people make room for it . \u201d\nas he was walking along the deserted , blackened beach , he was whistling and relieved that his killing days appeared over . he was contemplating ending a life of brutality and violence ( by throwing his shotgun into the water and moving abroad ) . but then he was shockingly and depressingly assassinated by a single shot in the forehead from sniper fire - from a man named\nj\n( identified from his signet ring near the trigger , in close - up ) .\nfine attention to detail and constant feedback from the oceanic trust helped shape the film on every level . notes from the trust on the kind of curtains in moana\u2019s home , the pits used to cook food , and inaccurate lyrics about coconut husks all resulted in minuscule tweaks that would mean nothing to audiences unfamiliar with the culture , but made all the difference to the trust . a scene in which moana throws a temper tantrum and hurls coconuts down on the sand in anger was cut because , as fonoti puts it , she \u201craised a flag , \u201d calling the waste of the sacred coconut \u201cabsolutely offensive . \u201d\ninstead of using duct tape , the two superglued her mouth shut to keep her quiet . to feed her , elias used manicure scissors to split open her glue - hardened lips , causing her mouth to bleed . she started to pretend that lukas was still alive ( and set a place for him at the table ) and claimed that he didn ' t die in the\naccident .\nwhen she soiled herself and was momentarily freed , she attempted to escape , yet fell teeth - first into cement and knocked herself out - awakening again bound in the living room and surrounded by candles .\nthe mise en sc\u00e8ne is completed by some appropriately gritty location choices \u2013 a millmoor here , a valley parade there \u2013 to provide the dystopian footballing backdrops for the violence and police malpractice . an ominous score composed by will gregory of eventual goldfrapp fame ( seriously , everyone\u2019s involved in this film ) finishes off the whole menacing feel rather well . its writer vincent o\u2019connell , however , was aiming for something rather grander :\nunder the influence of that thought , jack is soon trying to revitalize his marriage . this means , really and truly , a scene in which mr . brando blows popcorn around the mickler bedroom and ms . dunaway merrily catches it with her mouth . ms . dunaway doesn ' t quite act in this film , but she does behave like a good sport .\nthe p6 , that famous risc that ' s tripple the speed of the pentium . it made the powerbook 280c great\nthe clock on the square at the beginning shows 9 : 05pm , and the same clock at the end shows 10 : 16pm . the movie takes place in real time .\nit was both a complex serial - killer procedural and a neo - noir , with themes of generational sexual abuse , sadistic violence against women , revenge , family secrets , corporate corruption , and nazi racism . it was the first adaptation of the millennium trilogy , a series of books by stieg larsson . there were a number of questions to be answered in the film as it told its story .\nclockers\nis well served by its lean visual style , well executed by the cinematographer malik sayeed and only occasionally interrupted by a lighting effect or dolly shot that ' s deliberately ostentatious . sometimes music swells into the action in the same needless way . but this film ' s most attention - getting moments are about matters of real substance . this time , that ' s the main hallmark of mr . lee ' s style .\ni loved all the stupid bits , the pool on the roof , the sprinklers , the video game showdown , the crash and burn in the automated tv studio , the weird superhip hacker underground , the tormenting of bunk , penn jilette , and shaggy just being shaggy .\nwriter / director joel edgerton ' s twisting vengeance - based thriller ( his directorial debut film ) had some elements of fatal attraction ( 1987 ) , the hand that rocks the cradle ( 1992 ) , and michael haneke ' s cache ( 2005 ) . a suburban la couple had just relocated from chicago due to a change in the husband ' s work ( and after robyn had lost a pregnancy ) :\nit\u2019s those little esoteric touches that steer the film away from too many potentially naff generalisations . one episode of terrace abuse towards one of their own hapless players \u2013 \u201cgerry edwards\u201d , who scores a free - kick shortly afterwards , and is immediately cheered to the rafters \u2013 perhaps veers the wrong side of fantasy : \u201cyou\u2019re playing on drugs , and i don\u2019t mean speed ! \u201d , our anti -

winning documentary , minamata : the victims and their world , a work follows the victims in their struggle for recognition and compensation for suffering from minamata disease , japan ' s most notorious case of environmental pollution . this is one of the monuments of japanese documentary . part of the documentaries of noriaki tsuchimoto series from zakka films .\nthe following is a report of the situation of victims and their families in 1978 , 15 years after the miike explosion .\nishimure\u2019s own sustained fight for the rights of minamata patients and their families has also inspired environmental activisim .\nthe day\u2019s program started with a remembrance to the victims of minamata disease at the minamata eco - park . this park is built on fill , some of which is confined mercury - contaminated sludge removed from minamata bay . participants laid a floral tribute at the cenotaph for minamata disease victims and the ministerial delegates took part in a tree planting ceremony .\nminamata revolt\u0097a people\u0092s quest for life ( \u0093minamata ikki\u0097isho o tou hitobito , \u0094 dir . tsuchimoto noriaki )\nin the small town of minamata in kyushu , far from the metropolitan center , the fertilizer company chisso built a factory to take advantage of cheap labor and commenced dumping mercury - filled wastewater into the nearby sea . soon residents began exhibiting symptoms of a mysterious illness , a happening that would eventually develop into the worst case of environmental pollution in postwar japan . noriaki tsuchimoto visits the patients and their families who sued chisso and listens to their voices . his camera gently lifts the veil that had obscured them and reveals their reality . minamata : the victims and their world is impressive in how it stands on the side of the patients , not only providing a collage of individual portraits , but also an understanding of the their everyday lives . one of the monuments of japanese documentary , minamata : the victims and their world played at many international festivals , winning an award at locarno .\nwith the exception of a few resistance movements that had their roots in the turbulent times before the second world war , pollution victims have only been able to organize in the last 20 years or so . however , there are still many disaster victims who have not yet been able to understand the cause of their problems nor take any corrective action , and in such instances the related destruction simply continues , claiming more and more victims .\n\u201cthe mercury treaty is particularly connected to minamata because it specifically calls on governments around the world to learn and apply the lessons from the minamata tragedy to prevent mercury poisoning in the future . unfortunately , the original tragedy is still not resolved . \u201d\nthe extent of the damage done to the victims of polluted environments will have greatly differing results for individual people , as secondary problems related to their living situation and personality bring their varying forces to bear .\nthe introduction to the german translation speaks of minamata as a household name not only in japan but \u201call over the world\u201d [ hijiya - kirschnereit , 7 ] .\nthis is a list of ideological utopias , against conservatism , that victory of the current regressive world . especially those that failed because the world is below possibilities and beyond the material . material world and of film too , ie , movies that combines the political matter with the matter that films are built of .\nminamata\u2019s people continue in the midst of this waiting . in contrast to minamata : the victim and their world \u2019s steady accumulation of revelations building towards catharsis , the shiranui sea works structurally through restoration , with the sense that humanity itself is self - healing . a visit to an institution organized for rehabilitating minamata disease youth shows teenagers practicing basic arithmetic and learning to walk with crutches , while images from minamata : the victims and their world appear of the same young people as near -

tentacled bundle of his catch dangling behind him on a rope . in such scenes , the film suggests life continuing and the possibility of renewal .\nas potential victims become victims in reality , the situation gives rise to an ever - widening circle where people are given neither relief from the problem nor monetary compensation for their suffering . these people simply give up .\nin the small town of minamata in kyushu , far from the metropolitan center , the fertilizer company chisso built a factory to take advantage of cheap labor and commenced dumping mercury - filled wastewater into the nearby sea . soon residents began exhibiting symptoms of a mysterious illness , a happening that would eventually develop into the worst case of environmental pollution in postwar japan . noriaki tsuchimoto visits the patients and their families who sued chisso and listens to their voices . his camera gently lifts the veil and reveals their reality . minamata : the victims and their world is impressive in how it stands on the side of the patients , not only providing a collage of individual portraits , but also an understanding of their everyday lives .\nthese changes were also caused by the manner in which victims were treated by the offending industry , by governmental organs , by medical doctors , and by the mass media , and they became more obvious as the negotiating process between the company and the victims progressed . the offending companies would usually use negotiations methods that aggravated the patients and increased their nervous tension . the government and the medical profession were only interested in maintaining corporate profitability and in protecting their professional status . the mass media treated the victims as objects of curiosity , showing an absolute minimum of sensitivity for their plight .\ntheir imperial highnesses the crown prince and princess , prince and princess akishino , mr . and mrs . kuroda\nminamata : the victims and their world opens with title cards contextualizing the situation . minamata disease\u2014whose symptoms include restricted vision , damaged motor skills , and frequently death\u2014was first diagnosed in 1953 , and then declared a fifty - three - victim epidemic in 1956 . medical research soon showed that minamata residents were growing sick ( sometimes even in the womb ) from wastewater and poisoned seafood . the chemical plant of the prosperous chisso corporation , minamata\u2019s economic lifeblood , had been responsible for dumping untreated mercury into the water , and in 1959 the victims and their families reached a reparations agreement with the corporation , part of which stipulated that no further legal or fiscal damages could be sought . meanwhile , human damage continued : by 1970 , 121 victims ( 46 of them dead ) had been officially diagnosed , with many more sick unofficially .\nwith the compounding of all these environmental problems , local communities become the victims . in the ashio copper - mine incident , after a long history of protest . the results were the destruction of vast areas of farmland , the debilitation of countless victims and their families , and finally the creation of villages without inhabitants . in the areas around minamata city where some of the victims have been restructuring their lives with the help of support groups , human relationships have been so badly ruptured that there is no hope of repair .\n\u201cyears since its first appearance , noriaki tsuchimoto\u2019s seminal minamata : the victims and their world has lost no measure of its power to shock , enrage , and inspire . a landmark of socially -

minute - long medical films , collectively called minamata disease : a trilogy ( 1974 , and currently unavailable for home viewing ) . in each film , doctors explained different aspects of the disease\u2019s symptoms and development ; in each case , tsuchimoto requested that the doctors explain themselves in terms that he could understand , believing that this would enable viewers to understand as well .\nduring the past year , their majesties continued to strengthen the ties with the diplomatic corps serving in tokyo . they invited to tea the newly appointed ambassadors and their spouses , representing 15 countries , and to luncheon the ambassadors and their spouses who had been in japan for three years or longer , representing 16 countries , and granted farewell audiences to ambassadors and their spouses from 13 countries upon completion of their assignments . her majesty joined his majesty in meeting japanese ambassadors and their spouses departing for overseas posts in 45 countries . they also invited to tea ambassadors and their spouses returning to japan from 51 countries , and heard accounts of their experiences in the countries to which they had been assigned .\ndamrosch , david . what is world literature ? princeton : princeton university press , 2003 . print .\nin general , texts labeled \u201cworld literature\u201d have been translated into more than just one or two languages .\nthe opportunities to see japanese documentaries outside of the archipelago are really few , and usually restricted to film festivals , especially when these works were shot in 16mm or 35mm . it is thus noteworthy that minamata : the victims and their world , together with the shiranui sea and other tsuchimoto\u2019s works , is available on dvd with english subtitles through the dedicated work of independent label zakka films .

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

recovery , external factors generated by the polluting industry , governmental administrators , medical professionals , scholars , pro - industry citizens ' groups , and the mass media more often than not had a negative impact .\n\u201call around the world there are beautiful places like minamata where serious toxic pollution problems are being ignored because their effects happen quietly , over time , to one person at a time . in the future , when people learn about minamata , my hope is that they will not only learn about the terrible tragedy here , but they will hear about how a government and a people turned a terrible tragedy into something that made them proud instead of ashamed and sad , \u201d digangi concluded .\nby quiet sequences that give the spectator a moment to pause and reflect . these quiet moments are often montages that capture the natural beauty of the landscape and the sea of the region . with each new story of pain and loss , the tension slowly builds until the film\u2019s dramatic climax in which the victims and their families go to the chisso biannual shareholders meeting to confront the company president and demand that he publicly take responsibility for his company\u2019s crimes against humanity and the environment .\npersonality changes constitute the third level of environmental pollution - related damage , and as such are inextricably bound up with the second level of damage , the destruction of health . some of the victims of environmental problems who suffered physiological disorders also suffered from changes in personality . but it is not clear whether these changes were a response to the sickness or were inherent in the pathology of the sickness . such cases are found among victims who suffered nerve damage , for example minamata disease ( mercury - poisoning ) patients , the carbon monoxide poisoning victims , and the victims of smon ( a medicine - induced iatrogenic disease ) . the symptom common to all of these patients is that they are easily angered , and this fundamental change in personality is endemic to the disease process .\neven in the case of severe damage to health , victims ' suffering will depend on the impact of the disease on their life as a whole . this differing degree of response depends on differentials in social status and economic class . the serious symptoms displayed by the victims of environmental pollution are a great shock to the families involved , but whether or not the burden to the particular family is lightened or not will depend greatly on economic level and access to sources of information .\nit was at this point that tsuchimoto and his crew entered minamata , with the goal of getting the victims to relate their struggles . the film ( originally 167 minutes long , and which zakka offers in the 120 - minute - long version that tsuchimoto made for international release ) consists largely of scenes in which the camera sits patiently facing a minamata villager , observing his or her health and sickness while listening to the person talk . an older woman tells how she repeatedly filed legal complaints after her husband\u2019s minamata disease - related death with the hope of the state placing blame for it ; an older man describes how his wife has been driven so mad by the disease that their grandchildren call her \u201canimal\u201d ; a series of parents present their children , unable to talk or walk , with even the teenagers still mentally infantile . the overriding demand that the film\u2019s minamata residents make is for recognition . the film leads up to an indelible climax in which a minamata activist group storms a public chisso shareholder\u2019s meeting , and a woman who has lost both her parents to md screams to the company president , \u201cyou can\u2019t buy lives with money ! \u201d\none would like to read more details in the literal english subtitles such as the specifics of the infection or the newspaper accounts of last july , which listed 428 victims , 69 , of whom died . an epilogue points out that the chisso company paid about \u00a31 . 5\u2010million to 138 victims last year .\nthere are many types of damage to human health . in the case of the miike coal - mine explosion , carbon monoxide victims were reduced to human vegetables , a condition that is tantamount to being dead . the health of many other victims was also compromised to various degrees .\non wednesday , the government of japan hosted a field trip for delegates to minamata as part of the ceremonial opening of the diplomatic conference .\nafter japan ' s loss in the war , the wealthy , cultured , liberal anjo family have to give up their mansion and their way of life . they hold one last ball at the house before leaving . the . . . see full summary \u00bb\neventually this all led into a study group called the ao no kai . we started this group at iwanami , and in the midst of everyone going off in their own directions , two people who stuck their heads in were ogawa shinsuke and higashi yoichi . by that time kuroki kazuo and tsuchimoto noriaki were already established directors so their status was a little different .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul -

second world war period the labour union movement , as the vanguard of the many mass movements seen in that difficult period , were very much this type of organization , and in 1955 when the morinaga arsenic milk poisoning case surfaced , or when the minamata disease appeared in 1956 , the general public did not think of these problems as violations of basic human rights . the victims and their families did not know what they could or should do when faced with the contamination of baby milk by arsenic or the poisoning of whole households by the mercury - tainted fish caught in minimata bay , after centuries of fishing in the same area with no sign of an environmental problem .\nthe film is particularly interesting for its use of sound . the lack of synch between the image and the soundtrack is initially distracting . sound was a big problem for low budget documentary filmmakers of the day as it was recorded separately from the image . the asynchronous sound provided tsuchimoto with the opportunity to play with the soundtrack in innovative ways . as his subjects tell us their stories , we are treated to montages of images of the dead , their families , and their homes . the a\nthe citation for ishimure reads in part , \u201cin electing michiko ishimure to receive the 1973 ramon magsaysay award for journalism , literature and creative communication arts , the board of trustees recognizes her as the \u2018voice of her people\u2019 in their struggle against the industrial pollution that has been distorting and destroying their lives . \u201d urltoken\nthe shiranui sea\u2014minamata series part ii , dvd , color , 150 min . , 1975 . more information at urltoken .\nwith nobuteru ishihara , minister of environment , japan , achim steiner , executive director of unep , presented the\npez - peste\nstatue to katsuaki miyamoto , mayor of minamata , for permanent display at the minamata disease municipal museum .\nin these ways the social roles of the victims and the positions held by them in the families involved also determine to a great extent the degree of damage done to the family infrastructure . it cannot be said that when the breadwinner of the family becomes the victim of pollution , the strains on the family are greater than when a baby or child is the victim . it is generally understood that the differing familial roles held by the victims of pollution or industrial disaster result in differing levels and types of stress within the family .\nyet rather than cooperate in subsequent investigations , for many years chisso did everything it could to deny its role in propagating this disease , including pumping wastewater under cover of night and prohibiting scientists from taking samples from the bay for examination . the narrator describes some chisso employees as sympathetic to the plight of minamata patients , even alerting residents of minamata to chisso\u2019s plans to divert their wastewater channel to another location ; similarly , researchers from the chisso company hospital contribute to efforts to understand the disease better . and at its august 1967 meeting the chisso first union issued a declaration condemning its own failure to fight minamata disease and affirming its commitment to do so in the future . but for the most part , sea of suffering paints chisso as an absolute villain ; one that denies any connection between factory wastewater and minamata disease yet prohibits scientists from studying the wastewater ; one that does everything it can to avoid paying indemnities and instead continues to discharge poisonous effluent , thus expanding the number of people who may demand compensation ; and one that delays dispatching employees to visit hospitalized minamata patients until 1965 , more than a decade after the outbreak of the illness . the narrator comments : \u201clooked at from today\u2019s perspective , the noble and strong personality and the superior investigative research of dr . hosokawa [ one of the premier researchers of minamata disease ] into the outbreak and spread of minamata disease provides a fantastic contrast with all the attitudes [ and behaviors ] exhibited by the chisso corporation\u201d ( 69 ) . throughout sea of suffering the narrator alternates references to chisso\u2019s heartlessness with those to the dedication of medical researchers . it often is difficult for minamata doctors to understand their patients , since minamata disease makes speech a challenge , but the novel portrays physicians as doing whatever they can to assist those suffering from this disease . the narrator calls attention to the bonds that form between doctors and their patients and the trust the latter have in their physicians , except when they believe they are being used solely to further a doctor\u2019s career .\ntributes have been pouring in around the world for kaneto shind\u014d ( \u65b0\u85e4 \u517c\u4eba , 2012 - 2012 ) , who passed away last week at the age of 100 . . . .\nsea of suffering underscores how national politicians and other government employees downplay if not disavow minamata disease . to be sure , the central government is depicted as initially being concerned about the illness . the narrator notes that in 1957 the ministry of education established the minamata disease comprehensive research group , a unit composed primarily not of chisso officials but instead of presumably impartial doctors from kumamoto university medical school . the group\u2019s report identified organic mercury as the most likely cause of the disease and pointed to chisso\u2019s practice of pouring untreated wastewater into minamata bay . despite these findings , the japanese government for many years did not prohibit chisso from continuing to discharge outflow , nor did it enact measures to clean polluted waters or to help those stricken with minamata disease . these disavowals of the significance of this illness marked the beginning of decades of frustrating struggles by minamata patients and their families , with both the central government and chisso .\non the basis of the bleak record poignantly and pointedly presented in \u201cminamata , \u201d that statistic doesn ' t seem to be the answer to the terrible , perhaps portentous , problem of pollution .\nthis year saw much to celebrate , but we also experienced many heartbreaking events , such as torrential rainstorms and volcanic eruption . i offer my prayers for the souls of the victims and give my thoughts to the deep sadness of those who have lost family members and the pain of those whose family members have not yet been found . and to those who have faced endless difficulties on the volcano while helping and searching for the victims , prefectural officials , members of the self - defense forces , firefighters , police officers , medical personnel , and the health workers who have been constantly at the side of the families awaiting news of their loved ones , i also express my gratitude and deepest respect .\nmr . smith had encouraged mr . ishikawa to take his own photographs , even while helping him with the grueling minamata project . mr . ishikawa became friends with many young people in minamata and kept in touch with several of mr . smith\u2019s subjects in the following decades as he pursued his own career . although he traveled constantly , he decided in 2008 that he should document what had become of the surviving victims .\nforces us to listen more closely to the words and to study the face of the speaker more carefully . although each family has their own individual tale of suffering and loss to tell , taken together one gets the sense of a community of simple , hardworking people who have been unjustly made into outcasts in the town where their families have lived and fished for generations . the story of their fight for justice is not only of historical import , but their determination against all odds is also inspiring for the many people who are today suffering at the hands of an unfeeling bureaucracy in the southernmost prefecture of tohoku .\non june 8 this year , his imperial highness prince yoshihito of katsura passed away . in deep sorrow , their majesties went into mourning for five days , sharing in the grief of the bereaved family . in the period immediately after his passing , their majesties visited his home and the akasaka east residence four times . after the funeral rites and the ceremony to mark the 100th day of his passing , they paid official visits to the toshimagaoka cemetery to pay their respects .\nthis entry was posted in assignments , momotaro and tagged common people , essay 2 , heroes , minamata , momotaro sea eagle . bookmark the permalink .\nmost important , these conflicts exist\u2014albeit often surreptitiously\u2014within individuals . in the epilogue to rowing the eternal sea , the english adaptation of rowing the boat of the eternal world , \u014diwa notes that for ogata the \u201csolution\u201d is \u201ca return to a spiritual world on earth , in which everyone and everything has a place . it is a world in which life is respected , worshipped , and celebrated\u201d ( 185 ) . yet despite ogata\u2019s and his colleagues\u2019 deep attachments to the nonhuman , despite ogata\u2019s claim at the conclusion of rowing the eternal sea that \u201cembraced by the mountains and sea / ego dissolves ; self and landscape are one , \u201d behaviors of local peoples do not conflict as drastically as might be supposed with the behaviors of outsiders that ogata and \u014diwa criticize so harshly ( 175 ) . to be sure , the actions of local fishers rarely have as concentrated an impact on human and nonhuman health as those of large polluters ; the fishers do not exhibit anywhere near the same desire for wealth , technology , prestige , or power as do the chisso corporation , the japanese government , and many of their neighbors ( individuals particularly concerned with their financial futures ) . but even though they pride themselves on their humility , the fishers too are not without culpability .\nif these touching scenes in a major portion of the film are subdued , \u201cminamata , \u201d nevertheless , strongly implies and occasionally illustrates what appears to be big industry and governmental apathy before it builds to a literally riotous climax as the diseased and their sympathizers descend on a meeting in osaka of the impassive president and board of directors of the chisso company , , operators of the plant , to demand reparations and justice .\nyet to date , although ishimure has been called the \u201cjapanese rachel carson , \u201d the impact of her work\u2014unlike that of the american ecologist rachel carson ( 1907 - 1964 ) \u2014has been confined primarily to japan . 7 sea of suffering generally is credited as one of the driving forces behind japan\u2019s social activism surrounding minamata and other pollution diseases . to be sure , the novel has been criticized for being \u201cfiction\u201d and for not always adhering perfectly to the \u201ctruth . \u201d but it is through this novel that the voices of those suffering from minamata disease have been most powerfully heard\u2014as the japanese literature scholar keiko kanai has discussed , many minamata activists have \u201ccited [ sea of suffering ] as seminal in motivating them to fight . \u201d and some activists have stated explicitly that \u201cthe characters in [ sea of suffering ] are more real to them than the actual victims\u201d ( making up for minamata ) . this latter statement might seem peculiar\u2014characters more real than actual victims ? but in turning actual victims into characters , writers often make painful human experiences more accessible and in so doing promote and sustain engagement , most directly at home but also across linguistic and national borders . 8\nin both rowing the boat of the eternal world and rowing the eternal sea ogata comments , \u201cfor me , [ the reclaimed land in minamata bay ] is in a word a place to apologize . it is a place to apologize not for others but for myself . it is a time to think of my own crimes\u201d ( rowing the boat 156 ) . rowing the eternal sea elaborates on questions of individual and collective guilt . ogata asserts that even though he completely opposes chisso and its practices , he bears some responsibility for what happened in minamata :"]}

to - video release about a female coma victim and her husband , played\nunforgettabl [ y ]\nby eric roberts . the film is longer than two hours and concludes with the coma victim regaining consciousness . kramer rents this movie and subsequently visits a lawyer to deal with the possibility of himself being in a coma , until he sees the end of the film , at which point he attempts to revoke his living will .\nthe ending of the film echoes the play : rick must outfox the corrupt french captain and send ilsa , who is once more in love with him , off with her husband laszlo . in the original play , strasser , the nazi , rushes in :\nthe georgia institute of technology received $ 200 , 000 from neh to design and produce a digital critical edition of casablanca in collaboration with the american film institute . the afi project team is headed by nick demartino , senior vice president for media and technology .\nthe film is first referenced in\nthe movie ,\nwhen george goes to see rochelle , rochelle instead of watching checkmate ( see below ) . jerry and elaine end up in the same theater . after watching the film for only a few minutes , the trio discover each other after hearing one another ' s audible disgust . indifferent to the audience , they yell out how bad the movie is and then all three walk out . during this scene several bits of dialogue are heard from the movie ( with larry david voicing the role of a man convincing rochelle to undress ) . it is learned that rochelle resides in milan and is visiting relatives in minsk . according to a trailer overheard in the episode , the village voice called the film\na masterpiece .\nfilm noir usually features the anti - hero , anti - villain , villain protagonist , the ambiguity often rests on questions of trust , leading to an atmosphere of paranoia where poor communication kills regularly . the conclusion may or may not tie up all the loose ends , with the major mystery being the morally ambiguous theme of the story . these factors contribute to the widely - held opinion that film noir works are among the best artistic works of all time and contributed greatly to the maturity of cinema as an artform .\nthe american film institute has been able to help reconcile the conflicting demands of scholarship and the industry because of its standing with studios , scholars , and public audiences . with a grant from neh , the digital media program of the georgia institute of technology is collaborating with the afi to lay the foundation for a series of digital critical editions that will combine copies of american films purchased from the copyright holders ( currently on dvds ) with web - based educational resources delivered within a single interface . a common information design standard and an online authoring tool will allow scholars to create and link web - based resources such as commentaries , outtakes , and scripts to one another and to specific moments within the dvd copy of the film . viewers will be able to see the copyrighted materials only if they have already purchased or licensed a copy of the film . warner home video has given permission to make a prototype of the system , using casablanca as its focus . when the prototype of casablanca is completed , it will form the basis for a new approach to film study .\nit is usual to attribute the success of the film to the four screenwriters who adapted it . julius and philip epstein are widely recognized for contributing witty dialog such as this exchange between rick and the corrupt french police captain louis renault about rick ' s mysterious past :\nhell drivers ( 1957 ) . the british film industry is constantly debatated over whether it made noirs or not ( there was a genre popular in the 1950s named\ncrime thrillers\nwhich was very similar ) , however , this movie ticks most of the trope boxes .\nwriter david mandel states that the plot of chunnel involves the president ' s daughter being trapped in the ' chunnel ' between england and france . an exchange between a fictional president of the united states and a presidential advisor can additionally be heard :\nmr . president , your daughter is in the chunnel .\nthe tagline of the film was\nchunnel : 32 miles of hell\n. the portions of the movie that are seen in\nthe pool guy\nare from the american president as seinfeld was restricted to using castle rock film footage .\nthese days , you can do the same thing with a vinyl cutter and some paint mask film . in fact , orange county choppers uses a vinyl express vinyl cutter for cutting stencils for some of their custom choppers . it makes an occasional cameo appearance in their graphics department .\nninety nine river street ( 1953 ) . a cabbie and former boxer must team up with an actress friend after his wife ' s body gets dumped in the back of his taxi to frame him . essentially a film homage to the more pulp - oriented writings of the era .\nfollowing ( 1998 ) the directorial debut of christopher nolan is the british ( somewhat subverted ) version of the film noir standard . since then , with the notable exception of interstellar , his films will as a rule have at least a noir - ish\nvibe\nto them .\ngeorge sees blimp : the hindenburg story (\nthe puerto rican day\n) and gets a laugh by shouting out\nthat ' s gotta hurt !\nas the hindenburg explodes . later , while his car is stuck in traffic , he decides to go see it again with hope of more laughter ; however , his plan is thwarted by a fellow moviegoer who uses a laser pointer to make fun of the film . after leaving the film when his line produces no laughter , he is followed by the moviegoer with the laser pointer for the rest of the episode .\ncustom auto or chopper artists combine pin striping and airbrushing to decorate vehicles . precise placement of airbrush - applied paint requires a stencil mask . back in the dark ages , when i was in college earning my bfa , we used amberlith or rubylith stencil film , cut with an xacto knife .\nthis scene is little changed in the final version , and it marks one of the few moments where rick loses his cool . the tough - romantic line\nno one has ever loved me that much\nis unchanged in the shooting script , although bogart gives it a more colloquial phrasing :\nnobody ever loved me that much .\nlooking at the play , the script , and the finished film one can trace the ways in which the core of rick ' s character and the theme of self - sacrificing love were laid down in the original play and strengthened by the film .\nbrute force ( 1947 ) . a jules dassin film starring burt lancaster as joe collins , a convicted felon who ' s trying to escape westgate penitentiary to see his dying wife . it includes one of the cruelest prison guards ever in the form of captain munsey ( played by hume cronyn ) .\nthe film is apparently supposed to be a reference to light , escapist comedies that have large commercial appeal despite critical responses that are muted at best ( as opposed to movies like the english patient , which earn much critical acclaim and oscar nominations , but find little popularity among the general populace ) .\nthe public enemy ( 1931 ) . following the exploits of a hoodlum from entry - level crimes , to his rise in the crime ranks , and to his eventual demise . a depression gangster film where the tensions are related to the hoodlum and his\ngood family\nwho complain about his lifestyle .\ntransparent , matte , orange - peel finish polypropylene film with non - yellowing acrylic adhesive system designed for clean pick up of all brands of cast or calendared vinyl , and vinyl paint mask . exceptional clarity provides ultimate see - through when applying graphics . available in 17 precisely - slit factory cut roll sizes .\ndouble indemnity ( 1944 ) . a successful but bored insurance salesman falls for a woman in an unhappy marriage , and the two conspire to commit the perfect crime by getting her husband to buy an accident insurance policy , and then making sure he meets an untimely end . a film notorious for pushing the envelope on the hays code restrictions to its limits . despite an activist campaign\nimploring the public to stay away on moral grounds\n, the film was a major critical and box office hit . it paved the way for further dark , controversial films and directly inspired imitators . often seen as the trope codifier for films noir .\nstranger on the third floor ( 1940 ) . often cited as\nthe first true film noir\ndue to including many of the relevant tropes and cinematographic techniques . a b - movie and a box office flop at the time of release , it was re - appraised decades later . it is now considered groundbreaking .\nthis gun for hire ( 1942 ) . based on a graham greene novel , though with some material reworked for wartime - propaganda reasons . professional killer philip raven completes an assignment and is then double - crossed by his latest employer . he sets out to get revenge . meanwhile , nightclub singer ellen graham is recruited by the federal authorities to spy on her current boss , who is suspected to be a fifth columnist . raven and graham are unknowingly working the same case and their paths cross . a major hit for the film noir genre , and the film which turned alan ladd and veronica lake into\nreliable box office draws\n.\nthe eighth season of archer , titled\narcher dreamland\n, is a 1940s film noir that ' s justified as taking place inside archer ' s coma dream . it ' s played straighter than one would expect from the show , leaning closer to a dramedy rather than the outright spy fiction spoof of previous seasons .\nagent zero : this film was also referred to in another nbc sitcom of the time , newsradio , where andy dick ' s character describes it to a co - worker played by phil hartman through a series of sound effects . agent zero derives its name from a screenplay seinfeld writer david mandel always wanted to write .\nmuch of the angaran chronicles is like this with a hefty , hefty dose of diesel punk . the most notable example is the novella hamar noir which embodies many of the themes and tropes of film noir . which follows the hunter anargrin as he tracks down a serial killing vampire in the slums of the underground city of valtagan .\nprognosis negative is another film mentioned in the dialogue of several episodes , and in at least one episode a movie poster for it is visible . unlike other fictional works mentioned throughout the series , prognosis negative had its roots in an actual screenplay written by seinfeld co - creator larry david in the 1980s . it was never produced .\ngilda ( 1946 ) . a film set in the decadent atmosphere of post - war buenos aires . at its heart is a love - hate relationship between the male lead ( and narrator ) johnny farrell and female lead gilda . a relationship with what critics call\ndark and disturbing sadomasochistic sexual currents\nwhich takes over the plot .\ndeveloped for use in stencil applications , especially for painting and spraying techniques , e . g . vehicle lettering , stencil painting , promotional lettering and exhibition decoration . due to its relatively high stiffness , this stencil film is especially suitable for spraying and painting onto smooth surfaces . the translucency of the films guarantees the visibility of the surface underneath .\nmildred pierce ( 1945 ) . the film opens with the murder of monte beragon . his widow mildred then narrates her story . a story which starts with the end of a previous marriage in a divorce , her winning custody over her daughters , and her efforts to financially support them . unfortunately , elder daughter veda is a fille fatale and the mother - daughter relationship is not a particularly healthy one . the prevailing mood of\npessimism and paranoia\n, the visual style , and the convoluted narrative have earned the film a place among the better known entries of the genre . though an entry where the two main female characters dominate the narrative and family relationships take center stage .\nand yet the film works : the love story and the political adventure blend together in a single satisfying plot . the audience cares about the characters and believes in their peril , their passion , and their courageous sacrifices . despite its formulaic elements and hurried production , casablanca is a masterpiece of american filmmaking , which provokes and rewards close study .\nla bete humaine ( 1937 ) . a proto - noir about a violently jealous husband , his faithless wife , and her lover whom she asks to murder her husbands . much of the film noir set - up , but different in that the lover does not murder the husband , but instead has a mental breakdown which leads to a different murder .\nin the mouth of madness ( 1995 ) a john carpenter directed film , which combines noir with a dash of stephen king and copious amounts of hp lovecraft . what starts out as a very noir - ish plot about a skilled insurance agent trying to find a missing horror author , slowly but surely turns into a full - on cosmic horror story .\nrochelle , rochelle is a film referenced many times during the series . it is most likely based on the 1974 erotic film emmanuelle . like other films referenced by the show , it is never shown , but characters are portrayed watching it . . the dialogue indicates it is an erotic romance\nabout life , love , and becoming a woman\n, evidenced by the movie ' s tagline ,\na young girl ' s strange , erotic journey from milan to minsk .\ngeorge calls rochelle , rochelle\na foreign movie . . . a film , is what it is\nin\nthe smelly car\n. susan ross notes that it contains\na lot of nudity .\nrochelle , rochelle is a movie whose only positive aspect is its nudity . according to reactions to the movie throughout the series , the plot is completely unbearable , but is still revered because of its nudity . this is affirmed in\nthe movie\nwhen elaine remarked ,\nmen will sit through the most boring pointless movie if there ' s the slightest chance a woman will take her top off .\nadvance is one of the most respected photoplotting service providers in the industry . we offer complete artwork services utilizing the latest imaging technology including laser photoplotting with film sizes up to 32\u201d x 36\u201d . advance can accept a variety of 2d data formats including gerber , postscript and dxf . our reliable , quick turn ( 24 hour ) photoplotting services provide high quality at affordable prices .\nbeyond the forest ( 1949 ) . a woman bored with life in a small town squeezes her husband to pay their bills so she can visit chicago , but that soon proves to be the beginning of a violent conflict . famous for star bette davis line\nwhat a dump !\nbeing remembered as being pronounced far more enthusiastically than it actually was said in the film .\nmonk has the season 5 episode ,\nmr . monk and the leper ,\ndone in a complete homage to film noir including an introduction from tony shaloub dropping references to femme fatale amongst other tropes . a black - and - white then a color version aired back - to - back when the episode premiered . the dvd includes the black - and - white version .\nangels with dirty faces ( 1938 ) . crime film which famously uses the had to come to prison to be a crook plot . a child criminal is caught for a petty crime and send to reform school . he stays in the system for life , going in and out of prison through his adulthood and eventually executed . a fellow child criminal who was never caught became a priest .\nthe great capacity of the digital medium and its increasing accessibility cry out for standardized information formats . because film is a collaborative medium and subject to strict copyright restrictions , american cinema has so far resisted attempts to capture in a single location the kind of analysis that this art form deserves . the digital medium has the potential to contain and organize multimedia information and to present it in a manageable form .\nthis is a classic ghost story . i won ' t spoil anything , but for a haunted mirror movie , i found it very effective . there are only really 6 people in the film . the parents , and the children at 2 different ages . the film is not really linear , and it took me a while to get the flow of the constant changing from today and yesterday . once i got it , i found it very clever . what impressed me the most , however , is that there is hardly any blood , no nudity , no profanity , no sex , no gore and it scared the crap out of me ! no , it doesn ' t reinvent the genre ( can you even really do that with the haunted mirror genre ? ) , but it is a well crafted , well acted movie that really kept my interest all the way through . the young girl was especially effective . the film starts off slow and methodical and really hits its stride about the half way mark . we need more films like this . smart , clever\nlittle\nfilms - a few characters , a few props and lots of chills and thrills . please see this ! 8 / 10\namerican hustle ( 2013 ) has quite a lot of noir - ish content , with two villain protagonists who are forced to put their skills to work for an fbi agent ( who isn ' t particularly straight - and - narrow himself ) while struggling with their own consciences . notable for the film ' s heroine ( played by amy adams ) being a femme fatale . . . but a highly sympathetic one .\nflaming globes of sigmund (\nthe heart attack\n) : jerry dreams about a scene from a sci - fi film while sleeping and wakes to scribble the line\nlike flaming globes of sigmund\ndown on a piece of paper because he thinks it is funny . he spends the rest of the episode trying to figure out what he wrote . the episode ends with jerry turning on the tv to find flaming globes of sigmund on with larry david voicing the dialogue\nit ' s just as you prophesized ! the planets of our solar system , incinerating . like flaming globes , sigmund . like flaming globes . ah , ha , ha , ha . . .\nin the series , it is unclear what the actual title of the fictional film is , as it is never stated . however , larry charles confirms it as the title in the dvd commentary .\nthese products are great for most paint mask applications . but what do you use when you need to apply a stencil to a compound curve like a \u201cfat bob\u201d gas tank on a chopper ? you may find that a 3 mil calendered film doesn\u2019t hold the surface as well as you\u2019d like . try oracal 751 , an affordable 2mil cast vinyl . 751 has a permanent solvent adhesive . the solvent based formula will work well with a variety of paints .\nthe filmmakers ' difficulty in bringing the film to a close and placing rick on the same side as the french captain parallels the evolving political situation of 1942 . the change in rick ' s attitude from isolation to renewed idealism and heroic engagement is often compared to the change in american policy and in public opinion after the attack on pearl harbor . a digital edition can trace both the production history and the historical background , linking them to specific scenes and documents .\nhumphrey bogart had mostly played hoodlums before he landed the lead role and he had never carried a movie as the sympathetic romantic lead . ingrid bergman was under contract to another studio when casting began . the original script was read at warner brothers on the day after pearl harbor and purchased within the month . the film premiered less than a year later in november 1942 . it was a rushed production , made more difficult by wartime shortages and security curfews on the west coast ."]}

- it ' s a musical , police procedural , romance , mystery and gangster drama all rolled into one . it tries to be all things to all viewers , and since the cast is so versatile , it succeeds . and to think they packed it all into a film that doesn ' t even run a full hour ! great entertainment .\n3 of 3 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\ni love this one -

' \u0099 but as far as i was concerned , if he was playing , he was big enough to take a tackle .\neven a 4 - 1 defeat away to wales just days later , england ' \u0099s heaviest since 1964 , could not dampen the enthusiasm . but with the forest contingent in madrid for the european cup final against keegan ' \u0099s hamburg , greenwood was unable to field his first 11 for the rest of the home internationals , and the wales loss was followed by a fortunate 1 - 1 draw at wembley against northern ireland , and an unconvincing 2 - 0 win over scotland .\n\u009ci was a big quo fan , but that summer some of the players would gather in my room to listen to the latest gerry rafferty album , night owl ,\nrecalls watson , whose fabled hi - fi included not only the usual tape - deck / radio , but also a television . eighteen inches long , six inches deep , it was so big that he had a flight case specially built for it .\nhorse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby .\n\u009cit was all the rage back then ,\nhe says ,\nand i still have it to this day .\nmeanwhile horse racing enthusiasts emlyn hughes , mick mills and phil thompson took their minds off things by hiring a helicopter to fly them to epsom for the derby , where a record 400 , 000 crowd saw willie carson win for the second year in a row .\nit was a superb day , one of those things you can ' \u0099t believe you can do ,\n\u009d recalls mills .\nwe ' \u0099d just had a full training session and got cleaned up , and shortly after midday the helicopter was buzzing its way into the hotel grounds .\nthe players landed in the centre of the course just before the first race was due to start .\nwe all had the derby winner and we had a couple of other little bets that allowed us to pay for the helicopter ,\nsays mills .\nas we waited for it to take us back , we met up with willie carson and had a little chat .\nas they landed back in the hotel grounds , keegan came sprinting over .\nhe ' \u0099d been entertaining a young boy with a terminal illness , giving him a special day out where he got to meet the players . kevin had a quick chat with the pilot and it was quickly arranged for the boy to go up in the helicopter for a spin .\nwatson , minus stereo , didn ' \u0099t seem to have a problem , finding himself on a private tour of downing street with the pm as guide .\n\u009cshe seemed to take a liking to me for some reason , and came over and took hold of my hand . suddenly we were off on this excursion . she showed me these paintings of the ex - prime ministers that were hanging on the walls and gave me their history . it was very enjoyable - \u0093 we didn ' \u0099t talk football at all .\nmills remembers being taken aback by the size of the place .\nthe most amazing thing is that , when you see that door on television , it looks a pretty small building , but inside it seems to take off and go on for miles .\nthe eight qualifiers were divided into two groups of four . with no semi - finals , the top team in each group would contest the final , while the second - placed countries fought over third place . the favourites were jupp derwall ' \u0099s west germany , rebuilt after a poor defence of their world cup title in argentina , and drawn in group a alongside a dutch side in sharp decline , holders czechoslovakia and surprise qualifiers greece .\ngroup b saw england up against belgium , spain and italy , whose fans expected a repeat of the 1968 success when they had last enjoyed home advantage . but the hosts were in turmoil , with 33 players - including some internationals - \u0093 due on trial in rome charged with fraud , having allegedly accepted money to fix the results of two games .\nitaly coach enzo bearzot threatened to resign unless his federation told him who would be available for selection , but on may 19 he got the news he didn ' \u0099t want . paulo rossi , so vital to italian hopes , was banned for three years , later reduced to two on appeal .\ngreenwood would also be without his first - choice striker , a ruptured achilles ruling out forest ' \u0099s \u00a31m man trevor francis , while keegan ' \u0099s knee ligament was giving cause for concern . an exhausting season with hamburg and endless commercial commitments had taken their toll on the england captain .\nsansom , however , was in heaven .\ni remember the buzz i felt when we were all handed our identity badges - \u0093 that ' \u0099s when you realised you were part of something . the fact that the finals were in italy made it even bigger for me as i felt italian football was the best in the world .\nin the evening of june 12th , the streets of turin played host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans .\nsansom was rooming with tottenham star hoddle , but while hoddle was an early bird , the palace youngster found himself seeing out his evenings in the card school .\ni was playing with the big boys ,\nhe says ,\nkevin keegan , terry mcdermott and peter shilton . when we travelled to the games , we just played seven - card brag for points , but back in the hotel we ' \u0099d go down to three - card brag where we played for a little more .\nas england relaxed , group a kicked off on june 12 with 1 - 0 wins for west germany over czechoslovakia and holland over greece . by that evening though , a new international phenomenon had taken centre stage , the streets of turin playing host to a running street battle between 200 english and italian hooligans . though 36 people were detained , the fighting , the first of what would become a familiar sight on the continent over the next decade , made only a small column on page six of the times . the following day , however , england fans made front - page news .\ngreenwood ' \u0099s men were overwhelming favourites to beat the unfancied belgians , but guy thys ' \u0099 men had defeated scotland in the qualifiers and were going into the championship on the back of seven straight victories and a 13 - match unbeaten run .\nthe game started well for england . after 26 minutes , ray wilkins chipped the ball over the belgian back four , ran through them and lobbed home over the advancing jean marie pfaff to make it 1 - 0 . but the lead lasted a matter of moments , striker jan ceulemens stabbing the ball home from a corner . almost immediately , fighting broke out behind the england goal .\nthe violence seemed to begin when the italians cheered the belgian goal ,\nwrote norman fox in the times .\nas yellow smoke clouded the terraces , police waded into the england fans and greenwood appealed to uefa officials to stop the match .\n\u009cwe just made our way towards the middle of the pitch ,\n\u009d says sansom .\ni don ' \u0099t think any of the players were hurt , though a couple of them had sore eyes .\nthe game restarted five minutes later , both sides struggling to get back into their rhythm before half - time . after the break , though , england pushed hard for the win . with 15 minutes left , tony woodcock got in ahead of his marker to score , but unknown to him , the linesman had raised his flag before lowering it again .\nthe england players were back at the halfway line before they realised that west german referee heinz aldinger had disallowed the goal . it was to prove a key decision : england were prevented from getting off to a quick start , and belgium took heed of the warning to hold out for a draw .\nceulemans feels that england didn ' \u0099t take belgium seriously , but concedes that they expected to be beaten .\nengland had a better side so we were surprised to hold them to a draw . it was then that we started to believe in our chances .\nthe result wasn ' \u0099t the main talking point , however . the hooligans were .\nwe are ashamed of people like this ,\nsaid a furious greenwood .\nwe have done everything to create the right impression here , then these bastards let you down .\nuefa hit the fa with an \u00a38 , 000 fine for the crowd disturbances .\n\u009cit could have been a lot more serious ,\nsaid fa chairman professor sir harold thompson .\nit is a lamentable disgrace that the work ron greenwood has done can be jeopardised by a few silly louts . they are not fans at all .\nin the circumstances , a crucial game between england and italy was the last thing the italian authorities needed . the mayor of turin , signor diego novelli , threatened to cancel the match in the event of any more trouble from english fans , and banned the sale of alcohol in the stadio comunale . margaret thatcher , in venice attending an eec summit , described the events as ' \u009cdisgraceful ' \u009d .\nmeanwhile the players tried to stay focused on football . many felt the hooligans were harming the team ' \u0099s chances , but mills admits they were largely unaffected by the trouble .\n\u009cwe ' \u0099d grown up with it . crowd violence was one of those unfortunate things that was around in the ' \u009970s and early - ' \u009980s .\nitaly been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' \u0099s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .\nitaly were having their own problems , outplayed by spain in a goalless draw , but england faced an enormous task . the hosts hadn ' \u0099t been beaten at home in a decade , and were unbeaten on the mainland since england ' \u0099s 3 - 2 victory in rome in 1961 .\ngreenwood made three changes for the game . up front , david johnson made way for birtles , whose ability against man - to - man markers in forest ' \u0099s european cup campaigns had impressed greenwood ( the manager had brought the young striker along mainly with this game in mind ) .\nray kennedy came in for trevor brooking in midfield , and peter shilton replaced clemence in goal , continuing greenwood ' \u0099s unusual practice of alternating his keepers every game . for many , this was the most glaring example of his weakness as a manager - niceness .\nron should have chosen one ahead of the other ,\nsays mills .\ni think he was trying to be fair because they were both capable of being the england goalkeeper .\nbut , as mills points out , when greenwood finally settled on shilton for the world cup two years later , the side only conceded one goal in five games .\nboosted by kevin keegan ' \u0099s recovery from a stomach upset , greenwood was in confident mood as kick - off approached .\nsomebody has to win ,\nhe declared , clearly believing it would be england .\nas over 60 , 000 fans squeezed themselves into the stadio communale , supervised by a massive police presence , fighting broke out on the terraces 90 minutes before kick - off , but was quickly quelled . the england team had other problems . pre - match , birtles was interviewed by bobby charlton for english tv .\nthere i was being interviewed by one of the game ' \u0099s greatest players , and i was wearing purple trousers and these really loud purple shoes . quite what bobby made of me , i don ' \u0099t know .\nnor was it the only fashion disaster .\nwe came out in our admiral tracksuits , who were among the leading kit makers at the time ,\nsays sansom .\nthen the italians , fantastically suntanned , appeared in these incredible ice - blue silk tracksuits and ray - bans - we felt like we were 1 - 0 down already .\nonce the game got underway , however , england showed no signs of an inferiority complex as wilkins and kennedy set about interrupting the italians ' \u0099 rhythm , and birtles got stuck into the bruising encounter he had expected .\n[ claudio ] gentile did everything he could to stop me scoring . if anybody was wrongly named , it was him ,\nhe laughs .\nhe was one of the greatest defenders in the world but he had his methods . he was kicking and pinching and he certainly let me know in no uncertain terms that he was going to get the better of me .\nas the game wore on , bettega and scirea missed chances for the italians and england , too , came close , kennedy ' \u0099s shot crashing off the bar . but antognoni ' \u0099s influence in the italian midfield was growing , and 11 minutes from time , the fiorentina playmaker fed graziani near the left flank .\nright - back phil neal went in clumsily , and was brushed aside by the italian wide man , whose low cross was headed into the back of the net by marco tardelli . england almost snatched a point , but dino zoff brilliantly pushed out keegan ' \u0099s last - gasp overhead kick .\n\u009cit was a very quiet dressing room after the game ,\n\u009d says birtles .\nto lose to such a late goal was very flattening , and things weren ' \u0099t quite the same afterwards .\nthat evening , goals from gerets and skipper cools were enough for belgium to beat spain 2 - 1 , making the belgians ' \u0099 forthcoming clash with the hosts a decider for the final . the best greenwood ' \u0099s men could now hope for was the third - place play - off .\ngreenwood put on a brave face\n\u009ci am only pleased we have been part of a game which has shown the best of football ,\n\u0093 but england ' \u0099s difficulties were far from over .\nthe day after the match , italian newspaper tuttosport reported that keegan had accused romanian referee rainea of taking a bribe .\nnobody can take it out of my mind that he has accepted money ,\nengland ' \u0099s skipper was alleged to have said . keegan fumed that the italian press had misunderstood him , but the row rumbled on , disrupting preparations for the spain match , until finally , the journalist who had written the piece admitted he had misquoted keegan and apologised .\ncriticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .\nif i ' \u0099ve failed , i ' \u0099ve failed ,\nfor greenwood , the knives were out . though his team managed a 2 - 1 win over spain in their final game , suddenly all of his methods were being questioned . the six changes he made for the match were seen as weakness .\ncriticised for the first time as england boss , greenwood was reeling .\nif i ' \u0099ve failed , i ' \u0099ve failed ,\n\u009d he said .\ni ' \u0099m certainly not making excuses for the team selection . we did our best , but it just wasn ' \u0099t good enough .\nnor did the players escape the accusatory fingers .\nthe media reaction upon our return was vitriolic ,\nsays steve coppell .\ni remember i was heavily criticised by former england players who ' \u0099d played in my position . it was very hurtful .\nwe were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .\ngreenwood stayed on for the final in rome , where horst hrubesch ' \u0099s late goal saw west germany beat belgium 2 - 1 . rumours that he would resign proved unfounded , but his honeymoon period was definitely over . the following season , the qualifiers for the 1982 world cup would yield three defeats and five matches without a win at wembley , the worst run in england ' \u0099s history .\nsansom agrees .\nwe were handicapped by missing out on tournaments after mexico . the germans and the italians had been there and done it over the years , and that was reflected in their performances .\ncoppell puts it rather more succinctly .\nthe italy game was always going to be the big one ,\nhe says .\nand we failed .\nbut for england , the true legacy of the 1980 european championship was far longer - lasting : hooliganism . despite the trouble , the fa optimistically made it clear they were keen to host the 1984 finals ; uefa gave the idea short shrift , awarding the tournament to france .\n' the english disease ' \u0099 overshadowed the football for more than a decade and , to this day , can cause bigger headlines than any group of players - even if they have got 19 european cup winners ' \u0099 medals .\nthis article was originally published in the june 2004 edition of fourfourtwo . subscibe !\nfourfourtwo is part of future plc , an international media group and leading digital publisher . visit our corporate site\njoe mccabe ( george reeves ) is a pharmacist who finds himself in a sticky situation when a wounded robber demands to be treated by him . rather than treating the man , joe places him under arrest and becomes a hero .\njoe\u2019s older brother , tommy ( dennis morgan ) , is a nightclub singer . in the audience for his performance one night is jerry sullivan ( gloria dickson ) , a pretty lady who finds tommy\u2019s act amusing since it parodies a police officer . jerry\u2019s family happens to be made up of cops , from her dad to her cousins . she invites him to her home for dinner , knowing they won\u2019t take too kindly to his little parody song .\ntommy begins falling for jerry , and after being humiliated in front of her family he decides to join the police academy to impress her .\ncompletely misleading promotional art makes this look like a hard -

not so sure any amount of medical attention is going to help much when your brain ' s been replaced by a glass bottle of steel city reserve . but posie crosses out nib , too , and the pay phone cord wraps around his throat , slitting it .\nas a self - contained story , infusing under the red hood with rocksteady\u2019s universe works really well . the entire game is about batman pushing away his friends when they try to help him because he deems it too dangerous . at one point he literally locks the current robin ( tim drake ) in a cell to prevent him from trying to take on scarecrow , and so his rival turning out to be the robin he let die is more than a little appropriate . honestly , i might even like this telling of the red hood tale more than the original .\nanother notable demon in the hood of horror is a legless baller - played for about 10 seconds by tayshaun prince - named footloose who absolutely has to be a reference to ( or ripoff of ) the only tales from the crypt episode i can remember that prominently featured any black actors - the one where the cheap ass funeral director hacks his baller grandkid ' s feet off so he can hide his body in a cheaper , shorter coffin . ( that is , other than the one in which james remar uses a chess game as a means to bang whoopi goldberg ) .\nand that right there is probably the best part of this entire movie . we ' re about 20 minutes in and it ' s going to be hard to top that . i mean , holy shit , the old\nfallin mouf first on a 40 after slipping on what you poured out for your homey death .\nonly the crack epidemic has claimed the lives of more inner - city youths . this film ' s existence is completely justified ( if it even had to be ) by this scene , because hood of horror is probably the only movie that could feature a death by 40oz impalement and not have it seem tacked on .\ni was going to see another movie , but i decided to tag along with troy to a more unique festival experience , a live taping of larry fessenden and glenn mcquaid\u2019s horror podcast tales from beyond the pale . i had my doubts \u2014 podcasts are made to be listened to ! \u2014 but tales is really more of a classic horror radio play than a podcast . and it\u2019s honestly a thrill to witness great voice actors do what they do best . watching someone sip water in between screaming bloody murder was worth the price of admission alone . uh , not that the event cost extra .\na longhorn - adorned caddy pulls into the ghetto accompanied by a song about how you should\nkiss my redneck ass\nto kick off our second tale . it ' s morning again in the hood of horrors as john bradshaw layfield tex jr .

make sure that people get to where they need to go . it must be hard work , because half - pint tries to quit , but snoop denies him - they ' re locked in for eternity , after all . so they make up and pound it out , and the movie comes to a pretty anticlimactic end with a music video of sorts for snoop ' s hood of horror soundtrack smash - hit\nthere goes the neighborhood\nrunning over the credits .\nbut i\u2019m glad i pulled myself together and made it to the centerpiece screening of the overlook film festival , lady macbeth , an unconventional choice for a horror festival but the film i\u2019ve loved the most so far . it takes quite a while for the horror to seep into the story of an unhappy wife ( florence pugh ) in rural 1865 england who ends up having an affair with a man ( cosmo jarvis ) who works for her husband . once the movie takes a turn , though , it\u2019s shockingly dark and brutal , the kind of terror that catches you off - guard and gets under your skin . not that i really needed that at my current state of fragility .\nthis movie is what happens when you take tales from the hood and replace spike lee with snoop dogg . this movie follows three different stories while loosely having a thread of snoop dogg tying the whole thing together . snoop plays almost a grim reaper type character that collects souls that are going to hell . there are three stories in this horror anthology ; a tagger that is given the ability to kill , a redneck couple that pushes some vietnam vets to the limit , and a rapper that has his past come back to haunt him .\nfans of the series already have ideas for how what happens to the actors ' names could connect with the events of the show \u2014 and it ' s already making them really suspicious of certain characters .\njurassic park 3 by peter buchman and is revised by alexander payne , john august , and jim taylor . undated , unspecified draft script in html format host site the daily script genre ( s ) : horror\nup off the dvd store shelves , i knew that i had to see it for its conceptual whackness value . the basic premise has been to take a horror anthology a la the amicus films that came after\ncut to a group of latino gangbangers ( the hood kind , not the porn kind ) taking their girls for a stroll down the alley when one of them -

american community and its mating rites as the substance of true love ( 1989 , mgm / ua home video , $ 89 . 95 ) , newly released on videcassette . this funny and poignant film about an altar - bound couple ( annabella sciorra and ron eldard ) won the jury prize for best dramatic film at last year ' s united states film festival and went on to significant critical acclaim .\n\u2018the most interesting and satisfying section of the film treats jamal\u2019s early childhood in the mumbai slums . one aerial shot , in particular , makes a strong impression as the camera pulls back revealing an impossible number of shacks with rusted tin roofs . one is staggered by the wretched conditions , the number of the dwellings and how close each one is to the next . in another of the film\u2019s stronger moments , the predominantly muslim community is invaded by hindu - chauvinist thugs . the horror of the moment is communicated with feeling , although the film lacks social and historical context regarding hindu extremism in the country . these images , and others showing an orphaned jamal and his brother salim living in makeshift tents on a landfill or sleeping in empty railroad boxcars to avoid a rainstorm , are significant and valuable . they have clearly made an impact on many viewers , despite the serious limitations of the film\u2019s approach . \u2019 ( hiram lee , world socialist website , urltoken )\n\u2022 neither michelle rodriguez or jordana brewster had a driving license prior to working on the film . rodriguez \u2013 who\u2019s been caught speeding and dui since \u2013 says that learning for the fast and the furious probably gave her some bad driving habits .\nbut the valley\u2019s isolation , in one of the driest and most sparsely populated corners of the southwest , helped protect it from the outside world . there is no evidence that 17th -

year - old tommy on whom he dotes , they appear to be in seclusion , hunkered down in a house outside town . when charlie\u2019s wife angela arrives she seems , at first glance , to be appalled to find them together . it will be a little time before we understand just why . by staggering his revelations , currie makes this a challenging film to describe , but the strategy is a most effective one . he keeps us utterly intent on unpacking the unstable family dynamics we witness . are we maybe even in\nat d23 expo last year we saw this beautiful concept art ! and did you watch fashion stars heidi klum , kendall jenner , and more honor the incomparable edna e . mode ? the fashion icon will be returning in the sequel , directed by brad bird , who also voices edna . we already know this movie is going to be incredible . we also know that in it , a new villain will be hatching a brilliant and dangerous plot , and the incredibles family will need to team up with frozone to deal with it . check out the latest trailer here .\ni\u2019m fascinated by good people doing bad things . at the start of the film we meet this playful , loving couple \u2014 and yet as the story unfolds they do something most parents would find unthinkable .\nafter seeing a clip of the \u201ccircle of life\u201d scene at d23 expo last year , we could not be more excited to see this film . it is directed by jon favreau , and features an amazing cast including donald glover , james earl jones , beyonc\u00e9 , and more . we are all in for an epic experience when this reimagining of the lion king comes to theaters . see the full cast list here .\nthe year ' s biggest local box office hit . the taika waititi -

directors waitit and clement\nwho never let me read a script and gave me contradictory directions\n.\nwhat makes the film brilliant is that it never gets too complicated . it sticks to what works and does a great job with it . one element which i really enjoyed was exploring the mood of \u201cmommy and daddy . \u201d even though a young \u201cson\u201d is present in their lives again , they are never completely happy ; consequently they are never really sad either . for most of the film their moods are neutral . for those who have yet to see it , just watch very carefully and try count the number of times charlie speaks in a genuinely positive tone or angela smiles sincerely ; there are plenty of attempted efforts to do so but it very rarely succeeds . also , we know both adults do not mean bad . they are benevolent people who are prepared to sacrifice everything - even at the risk of going to prison - to be reunited as a family .\nat last year\u2019s d23 expo walt disney studios live - action presentation , we saw many of the actors who bring our favorite characters to life . you guys \u2026 this movie is going to be amazing , and now it is opening sooner so that fans around the world can enjoy it at the same time ! check out the intense trailer here .\nwe literally got goosebumps watching the teaser trailer of a wrinkle in time . based on the book by madeleine l\u2019engle , the film is directed by ava duvernay and stars a phenomenal cast including oprah winfrey ( who was honored as a disney legend last year ) , chris pine , reese witherspoon , mindy kaling , and storm reid ! take a look at these images from the film , if you haven\u2019t already !\nwe meet charlie ( brett stewart ) , a reserved man who is desperate to reunite his family . once a travelling magician with his wife angela ( sia trokenheim - cettina ) , he now lives in a rundown lifestyle block . living with him is a young boy . for a brief moment we are made to believe it is his son hugo . however a quick sequence of events establishes that hugo is dead . the boy who is there is none other than tommy ( ben clarkson ) , a five year old whose face is all over the news ; he was kidnapped . things get heated when his wife angela returns to see tommy . she wants to call the police but charlie persuades her that he can make them a family again . so begins a rather lukewarm illusion , one which could continue if all three of them move overseas .\ngradually , it builds a sense of unease as the plainly loving charlie is confronted with questions such as such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is mummy ?\n. a television report about a missing child ( the newsreader is suzy clarkson , the child actor ' s real mother ) is our first clue as to what happened and when stewart ' s wife angela ( trokenheim ) joins them , we join the dots .\nproduction began last year on this film , starring paul rudd and evangeline lilly , and it\u2019s sure to be epic ! what we know so far : the film will take place in the aftermath of captain america : civil war as scott lang aka ant -

end drama convinces on an emotional level even if , visually , the film is rather traditionally put together .\ncharlie ( stewart ) and angela ( trokenheim ) used to tour the country as a magician and his sexy assistant , though the curtain unexpectedly came down both professionally and privately when their young child , hugo , suddenly died . when the film opens , charlie is at home but angela\u2019s gone , though the mourning father is not alone , as he\u2019s looking after and playing with a five - year - old boy , tommy ( ben clarkson ) . currie\u2019s screenplay initially leaves the relationships between the characters unclear and has the little boy ask rather odd questions , such as\nare you my real daddy ?\nand\nwhere is momma ?\na tv report about a missing boy provides the missing puzzle piece and when angela finally returns to the couple\u2019s home , the extent to which charlie has strayed becomes clear as it\u2019s obvious their own son died and tommy\u2019s real parents are elsewhere - - they may be negligent caregivers , as charlie keeps insisting , but they are alive and have been robbed of their offspring . the first reaction of angela , who clearly had to leave the house to go through her own grieving process , is one of disbelief and rejection ; she can\u2019t be part of charlie\u2019s insane replacement plan .\nthe justification for charlie\u2019s actions are of course located in his grief , as his pain has temporarily undermined his capability for sound moral judgment . though the film starts after hugo\u2019s death , the enormity and the power of the parents\u2019 sorrow is made abundantly clear by their decisions and actions , with angela , perhaps even to her surprise , gradually finding relief in the idea of having a \u201cnew hugo\u201d and the associated sense of comfort and even a glimpse of the good old times increasingly outweighing her objections .\ncurrie thankfully doesn ' t overdo the magic metaphors and has believably charted the emotional arcs of his adult leads . once they\u2019ve both accepted their new reality , and the soothing sensation it affords them , their need to protect their newfound family and calm makes their life increasingly complicated and , paradoxically , agitated , since they can\u2019t be seen in public with a kidnapped child that\u2019s all over the news . to complicate matters even further , they\u2019ve not been able to pay the rent for months and their landlord wants them out within a week .\nnew zealand actor stewart ( he died with a felafel in his hand ) and swedish - born trokenheim ( kiwi tv series step dave ) form a believable couple , unable to face the death of their child alone but probably more dangerous when facing it together . entirely in step with currie\u2019s direction , they ensure the story\u2019s grounded in a recognizable emotional reality rather than any kind of tabloid hysteria or sensationalism . clarkson , whose mother suzy clarkson , has a cameo as a news reporter , is a natural child actor who makes tommy\u2019s initial confusion , his natural curiosity and desire for stability and love at any cost all come alive .\ncinematographer dave garbett ( spartacus : blood and sand ) and editor dan kircher use a clever variation on a match cut early on and the film\u2019s color palate becomes bleaker as the family\u2019s situation grows increasingly dire . but otherwise it is the actors that do almost all of the heavy lifting here , conjuring up a world of pain that allows them to do things no sane person would ever think of doing .\nit ' s difficult to provide a complete assessment of this striking kiwi feature without engaging in what might seem like - but is not really ; the plot point occurs less than 20 minutes in - a major spoiler .\nso if you want to see it - and see it you should - completely cold , let your eye skip the next three paragraphs right now . ( start at\nthe newest fruit . . .\n)\nfor me , the major improbability that dogs an otherwise assured piece of work is the idea that a mother - any mother , anywhere , ever - would accept as her own someone else ' s son when ( here ' s the important bit ) she knew that the boy concerned had been abducted and that his real mother was inhabiting a panic - stricken hell .\ndirector and writer currie seeks to deal with this credibility challenge by having a character tell us that the boy ' s real mum and dad are not fit parents and , to be sure , the world his two main characters come to create is one fraught with a perfectly plausible insanity occasioned by their own bereavement . but when the film ' s mother first discovers what happens , her response is one of horror : the process by which she becomes part of the plot ' s conspiracy is far from convincing and , for me , it remained a fatal flaw .\ncurrie deftly constructs the couple ' s backstory : their past as performing magicians provides plenty of scope for faintly fellini - esque sequences . it ups the ante further when , behind with the rent , the trio have to go out in public to perform and the film exploits , without ever overdoing it , the fact that they make their living by deceiving people . yet it ' s hard not to feel that the film paints itself into something of a narrative corner . there is not enough dramatic or emotional development to set it apart from the routine , and the inevitability of the ending becomes something of a let - down .\nall that said , it is an extraordinarily impressive technical achievement that quite belies its chump - change budget . cinematographer dave garbett creates a colour palette that reflects the couple ' s progressively shrinking world - the cinema seems to become colder with each passing minute . and stewart and trokenheim are excellent as a couple sinking deeper into darkness .\nthe film , which premiered at the film festival on monday evening , went live on a video - on - demand platform at the same time . that innovative release strategy should assure it the audience it deserves .\nsia trokenheim plays julie hansen . desperate to find her daughter eva , julie travels to the indian himalayas in search for her .\nthis saturday at 8 . 30pm . tag a friend who you think should see it and make sure you tune in yourself ! kia ora maori tv .\nbrowse television , film , short film , music video , web series , documentary , drama and more categories .\nbiographies , screentalk interviews and details of cast and crew from the nz screen industry .\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 -

hungary in 1862 by miroslav tyr\u0161 and jind\u0159ich f\u00fcgner . primarily a fitness training center , the sokol , through lectures , discussions , and group outings provided what tyr\u0161 viewed as physical , moral , and intellectual training for the nation . this training extended to men of all classes , and eventually to women .\nalthough he ' s in a relationship with sara ( ia hernandez ) , max callahan ( wiley wiggins ) develops an obsession with kira ( kenya miles ) , his recent one - night stand . while he tries to figure whether he has a conscience , kira seriously questions her personal and professional choices . andrew bujalski co - stars as max ' s best friend , mason , and dia sokol directs this romantic drama that explores the heart ' s questionable emotions .\nsokol - savage : i was an independent film producer and director , and my boyfriend saw a facebook posting from morgan j . freeman [ a director , not the oscar - winning actor ] , that he was looking for a coproducer on an mtv show . i was finishing up a movie i had directed , called sorry fix , and i went in and met him , and i think i got the job the next day . two days later we were on our way to the first shoot for 16 and pregnant .\nthe movement also spread across all the regions populated by the slavic culture ( poland ( sok\u00f3\u0142 ) , slovene lands , serbia ( sk soko ) , bulgaria , the russian empire ( poland , ukraine , belarus ) , and the rest of austria - hungary ( e . g . present day slovenia and croatia ) ) . in many of these nations , the organization also served as an early precursor to the scouting movements . though officially an institution\nabove politics ,\nthe sokol played an important part in the development of czech nationalism , providing a forum for the spread of mass - based nationalist ideologies . the articles published in the sokol journal , lectures held in the sokol libraries , and theatrical performances at the massive gymnastic festivals called slets helped to craft and disseminate the czech nationalist mythology and version of history .\nsavage : there ' s not necessarily a reason for someone being selected or not , and in the case of that first group of six , it was devastating to us only to be able to continue to work with four of them because we knew that every single one of those young women faced unique struggles and had a story worth telling .\nthe 25th annual film independent spirit awards were announced on tuesday , and two austin -

free .\nsavage : oh man , so many great moments throughout the years . obviously , hearing about the impact that the show has had is enormously gratifying but also just watching the cast members grow and develop and see the direction their lives have taken is kind of a documentary filmmaker ' s dream . to be able to be immersed in a subject ' s life for eight years has been an incredible privilege and honor .\nthe new york -

[ laughs ] they would absolutely fail , because we have a different speed here . they\u2019re not totally unambitious characters , but they\u2019re mellow californians . and i think it has a lot to do with pacing . there are a lot of silences in their conversations . which is definitely not the case in new york . in new york , everyone is anxious to fill the space . like when dia and i talk : not a lot of silences . [ laughs ]\nsavage : in the early days , i think the show allowed the audience to be privy to private conversations around unplanned pregnancy that you never would have heard otherwise , which is powerful . it opened up new ways for kids to talk to their parents about sex and birth control - - for example , it is probably much easier to start a conversation with your mom about getting an iud or a depo shot by talking about a decision maci made or discussing something that cate and ty were just doing . and as the show has evolved , people have just continued to be invested in the lives of the teen moms as they have taken different directions .\nsavage : i met amber before i ever saw her casting tape - - i ' d just talked to morgan about what was going on with her . our first shoot was on 4th of july weekend , and it was filled with a lot of drama because gary had just spent all of their money on a video game console . amber and her family were really upset , and everyone was meeting for the first time for a bbq ( take a trip down memory lane with part of her episode below ) . my first impression when i showed up at her house the night before we were supposed to begin filming was that she had a lot to say and wasn ' t afraid to articulate it , which is always something you are grateful for as a producer . and that she and gary were hilarious and that i could listen to them talk all day . and that she was stubborn !\nmarvel\u2019s phase 4 gives the studio a chance to push for greater diversity when it comes to rounding out the next iteration of earth\u2019s mightiest heroes .\npaul rudd and evangeline lilly reunite in a marvel sequel that\u2019s faster , funnier , and more cunningly confident than the original .\na prequel to the \u201cpurge\u201d series , and the first set in the inner city , is a crude exploitation film that still manages to pack a timely punch .\na documentary about whitney houston offers a soaring testament to her art as well as an explanation for why she destroyed herself .\ndeliriously creative and ambitious to a fault , boots riley\u2019s gonzo debut extends the rapper\u2019s outspoken social critique .\nas a detective story , it\u2019s top -

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

temple is an english filmmaker and music video director who began his career directing the sex pistols documentary the great rock \u2018n\u2019 roll swindle ( 1979 ) .\none of the most visually distinctive filmmakers to emerge from the french national film school , julien attracted international attention with his short student film , ' the all - new adventures of chastity blade ' , which garnered him an academy award nomination in 2001 and marked him as one of france ' s rising talents . julien ' s micro - budget debut feature . . .\nborn in london , england , on november 26 , 1953 , julien temple showed little interest in film throughout much of his childhood . a troubled student who didn & apos ; t always fit in at school , temple was enrolled at king & apos ; s college , cambridge , when he discovered french filmmaker jean vigo .\nborn in london , england , in 1953 , julien temple was in his teens when he discovered his love for films and filmmaking . he cut his teeth shooting footage of the sex pistols early in the band & apos ; s run , and later directed the landmark pistols documentary the great rock \u2018n\u2019 roll swindle . in the 1980s he became a noted music video director . he & apos ; s also directed several other full - length feature films .\ni\u2019ve been putting on shows and playing characters since i was a kid . i got my first taste for the stage in 6th grade when i played huck in the stage play\nwhen i realized i could make a whole room of people laugh by \u201cplaying pretend\u201d on stage i knew that this is what i wanted to do for a living .\nand thought that the dollar baby program was an awesome idea . i immediately submitted to audition .\ni think it is the tension the audience feels as they watch the story unfold . it is very dark and controversial , but ends with the good guy getting the bad guy , which is what we all want . \ud83d\ude09\n( director ) had actors chose a scene or monologue from a stephen king screenplay and i was thrilled to have my choice in the matter . i chose the final scene in\nmax is a young director who clearly worked hard to make this production happen . i was impressed by his vision and his patience in working with everyone on set .\nthe actor who played the young boy never ran out of energy . he was running around all day , having fun , being a kid . but the moment we got the shot ready and max called \u201caction , \u201d he was a professional actor who hit all his lines every time ! honestly , he knew his lines better than i did !\nerin grote was on sound for the production and we still keep in touch . i\u2019ve also talked with max through email .\ni am currently involved in a large project with a production company i help manage called wadworth productions . it is a web series called\n. it\u2019s a comedy that follows the story lines of characters working in the service industry .\nsksm : thanks for taking the time to answer my questions . is there anything you want to say to the fans that read this interview ?\nmy name is jackie perez and i love horror . i\u2019m first and foremost a screenwriter and direct whenever i get the chance . i lived in los angeles for the past 5 years , but i just moved around the world to bahrain which has been quite the change ! i used to be a nuclear engineer in the navy before i discovered my passion for screenwriting . i love writing genre features and had my first contest win last year at\n. i also work remotely as a grants manager for stem , creative , and veteran non - profits .\nmovies had always been my escape growing up but it wasn\u2019t until i was studying at mit for undergrad that i realized filmmaking was an actual career option . of course by then i was already well underway into an environmental engineering degree . i heard eli roth speak at a preview screening of\nin late 2005 and he answered a question from an audience member about the necessity of going to film school to \u201cmake it . \u201d roth answered that it didn\u2019t make a difference if you went to film school or not , that the difference was hard work and perseverance , that he graduated with an entire class of wannabe filmmakers but he was there with a movie on the big screen because he did the crappy jobs , got experience , and kept at it . i was hooked . i was self - taught and wrote and directed three short films before graduation . when i got out of the navy , my first stop was hollywood .\ni\u2019d been developing the script for over a year but things kept getting in the way of nailing down production dates like grad school finals and wedding planning . once the honeymoon was over , the holidays hit and by the time 2018 rolled around it was now or never because i had the big overseas move looming on the horizon . my producer brian campeau ( oneninth media ) and i set a date and the train started moving .\nit turns out we were incredibly lucky with the date we chose to shoot on location at the glamis sand dunes . the day before it was extremely windy and no good for drone shots , and the day after the temperature jumped into the mid - 90s and it would have been way too hot . i was really worried because we were shooting around spring break and didn\u2019t know how tracked up the dunes would be from buggies , but we caught the perfect day in late march . it was still hot , but wind was manageable , the alexa camera didn\u2019t get damaged from any sand , and no one got sun burned or passed out . the camera kept shutting down so we lost almost an hour switching out batteries until we figured out a fix . our dp sarah phillips did an amazing job .\nwe shot one day on location on the glamis sand dunes and finished up with two days at pollution studios in los angeles . as for cost , it was the biggest budget i\u2019ve ever worked with which was awesome , but we were stuffing 20 lbs of film in a 10 lb bag so there were plenty of challenges to overcome , favors to ask , and incredibly talented people who worked for way below their normal rates .\nbecause of my proximity to the largest dunes in ca . it was a tough love decision because\nis my favorite king short story but the snowy setting was something i didn\u2019t want to compromise on and it\u2019s so much trickier working with child actors because of union rules .\nwhen i first read the story , i was drawn to the isolation theme . my longest time out to sea when i was in the navy was 84 days in between port calls on deployment . when you are crossing the pacific ocean without a ship in sight or on radar , the empty vastness is both serene and terrifying . i was wrapping up my mfa and i had never written an adaptation but i knew i wanted to put my personal stamp on the story . there are quite a few changes that were made for either creative and budgetary reasons and as a huge horror fan , i had to make it bloody .\nit took me quite some time to figure out how i wanted to approach the story , but once i made a specific character decision , a lightbulb went off and everything else clicked into place . i\u2019m really excited to hear what people think , especially those who are familiar with the source material because i wrote a very different ending ,\nand i was like \u201cwhat ? tell me everything ! \u201d i was actually angry with myself for not knowing about dollar babies being such a big fan and all , but the timing was perfect because i wouldn\u2019t have been ready as a filmmaker if i had tried to make this earlier and the final product just wouldn\u2019t have been as good . i sent in my pitch with some of the changes i wanted to make and got the ok . i think it\u2019s such an amazing way to give back to the emerging film community and i am forever thankful for the opportunity .\nreally the most special part about it was being able to come together with my friends to make something i loved and have them all supporting me and bringing my vision to life . it was extremely bittersweet knowing i\u2019d be moving but so many of my friendships deepened because of this project and i just feel so lucky to have found those friendships in the first place during my time in los angeles .\nmy goal is to get it out to as many stephen king and horror / sci - fi fans as possible within the boundaries of the option contract . we\u2019ll definitely share a trailer ( our teaser is out ) and with a strong festival showing i\u2019m hoping a lot of fans get to watch . everyone who is interested can sign up for updates on our website and we\u2019ll keep them updated on when / how / where they can watch .\nso far so good ! we\u2019re really close to locking picture and still have to finish sound design , music , and vfx so hardly anyone outside of the production has seen it but the feedback has been really positive , especially with respect to the final scene .\nwe haven\u2019t started submitting it to festivals yet since we\u2019re still in post - production , but i would love to see it screen at screamfest this year . last year i was on my honeymoon in new zealand during the festival when i found out i won an award . i mean , the honeymoon was great and all but i was so bummed to miss out on the fest ! it\u2019d be great to fly back and experience it with the cast and crew of\nsince they are all in la . another film festival i\u2019d love to have it screen at is citizen jane which is all about achieving gender parity in film and telling womens\u2019 stories . there are so many amazing female - forward and genre film festivals we want to submit to ! we\u2019ll share festival and screening updates on our facebook page and website .\n. kathy bates is magnificent and it\u2019s one of the rare books that you can read back to back with the film and still cringe even knowing what is coming next . i would have expected nothing less from william goldman adapting .\nmy all - time favorite king book is the girl who loved tom gordon . i\u2019d love to get mr . king\u2019s permission to adapt that into a screenplay , moving from the isolation of beachworld to the isolation of the maine woods . the stories i write explore the choices we make and the people we become when shit hits the fan . we either step up , shut down , or go insane . the story of survival against the odds is one of pure human instinct . resilience against fear and the unknown is universal .\ni do have to mention this : only 2 of the almost 71 feature film adaptations of king\u2019s works credit women as writers ( co - writers ) . i want to be the one that turns that dismal 3 % stat to a slightly less dismal 4 % and watch it go up and up from there . i want to also point out only 2 adapted features have been directed by women . it was inspiring seeing bridget carpenter helm 11 . 22 . 63 but i don\u2019t think i have to run through the rest of the television stats and the adaptations and remakes in development to prove that women are grossly underrepresented in the king to film and tv world . which is quite disheartening for me because he writes such amazing , complex women . i hope he\u2019ll consider my pitch to adapt trisha mcfarland\u2019s story for the big screen and i hope hollywood starts hiring more women to lead these projects .\nno , but i\u2019ll be taping a special message to go with the film when i send it to him .\nwhich is inspired by the mexican legend of the lechuza , an ancient shape - shifting woman that has sold her soul to satan in exchange for dark magical powers . the proof of concept short script was a semi - finalist in the\npeople are always surprised by the whole mit / nuclear engineer to horror screenwriter career shift . what can i say , i dream big .\nwell , my name is andrew olszewski and i am a filmmaker ! i specialize in video editing and producing . i recently graduated from\n, in chicago illinois with a bfa in film and television with a concentration in editing .\nsksm : in addition to playing a role in this film you were the producer and the editor . what was more difficult to do ?\nthe hardest part in my opinion is producing . that involves so much planning and communication that it can be overwhelming if you don\u2019t plan every single aspect of the film . editing is almost second nature to me , so i would say producing and the pre - production was the most difficult part of the film .\nmy acting role in this film was pretty minimal ( i was a thug throwing some kicks at the beginning ) but i have been acting in other films and shows for a while now . i always just thought acting was fun , and over the past year i have taken it a little more seriously .\nmy buddy max ( director ) and i had been wanting to make a larger scale film for a while now and he came across this program . we thought it was a no brainer to see what we could do with this opportunity !\ni think the weirdness of it all is what attracts people . stephen king has a way of making an audience become engaged from the very beginning . also , because it is stephen king , a viewer already knows that there is going to be a weird twist at the end !\ni sort of fell into the small part i had . instead of making it a huge deal and casting a thug , we decided i could fill the part easily enough .\nmax and i have been great friends since the beginning of college . we have a great friendship and work very well together . we have made many films together and so far and this was the biggest production to date . he is a great director and knows how to capture the moment of each and every scene .\nwell , every production has its funny moments , i think the behind the scenes video captures some of that , but overall the entire production was a great experience .\nmost everyone involved i still have at least some contact with . whether that be simply friends on facebook or friends in real life . noah sliwa was actually an old buddy from michigan that made the trip to chicago to film and help out on set , so that was pretty cool !\nmax and i are currently in post production on another film . it is called \u201c\n\u201d and explores some pretty heavy topics . we are really excited to finish the film and send it out to some film festivals , and hopefully leave an impact on viewers .\ni would say it is hard to not be a fan ! he has an amazing way to craft a story and keep a viewer on their toes . i think everyone can learn something after reading / watching a story stephen king has made .\ni love sports ! though i sit behind a computer most my days i make sure to stay active and shoot hoops when i can . also , i have a youtube channel with almost 10 million views !\nhe played in viktor hernandez \u2019s dollar baby one for the road as booth .\nmy name is robert l . edwards , i am orinally from emporia , va . i currently reside in the great charlotte , nc . i have been living in this area for 8 years . my primary occupation is a collage profesor and director of bands in addition to being an actor , i am a doctoral student pursing a doctoal degree in education and leadership . one of my strongest quilities in music is composition and arranging for bands . i am also an advocate for the performing and visual arts , especially for children and teens . i believe that the performing and visiual arts can help develop soft skills and prepare students for their profession no matter their focus .\ni wanted to become an actor since high school , but it was only a thought in the back of my head until 3 years ago . my insecurities prevented me from pursuing acting earlier in my life . music has always been my main focus until now .\nfor startes it\u2019s a story by stephen king , even people that don\u2019t like horror movies love stephen king , i\u2019m gussing because he writes for different genres . i believe that people are attacted to this story because it takes place in the same universe as his movie\n\u201d back in 1931 . since then people have always been attracted to these types of movies . i could go deeper but my statement would be longer .\ni auditioned for the role of booth . i was so excited that viktor decided to cast me for this project . when he told me that i was booked , i was so excited to be apart of a film connected to stephen king .\nviktor is a great director , i learned so much from him and his directing leadership . he knows what he want and how to communicate his vision . he is a very humble and profesional guy . once i found out about his previous works and found out that he is also a great actor i was so excited and he did not disappoint my expecations of him as a director .\nyep , trying to avoid stepping in dog poop while on set at 1 am in the moring .\ni do keep in contact with the other two actors jacqueline dorry and ligia pressley via social media from time to time . i really enjoyed working with them on this project , they are great actresses .\ni am working on two other film projects at the momento and auditioning others projects . i am also working on a film myself which i hope to start sometime by the end of this year in addition to a pilot for a reality show with an up and coming actress maritalyn frazier . my goal at this point is to conitue my acting classes , build my acting brand as well as my acting resume , and learn more about this industry .\ni\u2019m a fan , lord yes ! i have been a fan since i was a kid . i use to read stephen king\u2019s books and watched all his movies when i was younger . i\u2019ve been a fan since i first saw the move\nback in 1989 . stephen king can do no wrong in my eyes . i hope that i will be able to meet and work with him one day .\ni believe my decisi\u00f3n to pursue acting over music at this point in my life surpised a lot of family and friend . i believe that people would be more surprised that acting is a stress reliever it helps me to escape my life and live the life of someone else .\nplease support this project by watching and sharing once it has been released . i believe that the cast , myself , carmen the writer , and viktor\u2019s interptation of this story will not disappoint you .\ni am so grateful that viktor gave me the opportunity to be apart of his project and that i wish him and the other cast and crew member all the best in their future pursuits . i would like to also thank you for offering me this interview opportunity .\nin chicago . i got my degree in film producing and am looking to move to los angeles in the next few months to continue my career there . although my degree isn\u2019t focused on anything in particular , in my time at college i\u2019ve found myself more often than not at least doing the directing or cinematography for the work i\u2019m involved in , if not both .\ni\u2019ve loved movies ever since i was a little kid . i definitely grew up in a family that gave me a much greater appreciation for what film can be than i think most kids are privileged with and i\u2019ve been obsessed with the idea of creating my own movies for probably more than half my life .\nour producer and i read through all of the stories that are available for the dollar babies program and then narrowed it down between a few that we really wanted to adapt . from there it was mostly a matter of practicality ; which story did we think we could most reasonably adapt given that we are going to be working with a very small budget ?\nwas the natural cross - section of feasibility and our own personal desires . plus , i like vampires a lot .\ni began reading king\u2019s work avidly back in spring of 2017 , and while i was browsing a forum for fans of his stories , i found a thread talking about the dollar baby program . i was honestly completely dumbfounded that such an amazing program could be real . it didn\u2019t seem possible that such a great opportunity could be missed by so many other students . i still haven\u2019t met anyone in film school who knew about this program before hearing about our work on\nnot a particular moment , but i just wanted to give special thanks to one of crew members , noah sliwa . he was a friend of our producer\u2019s , and while he\u2019s not actually involved in the film industry at all , he just wanted to help out on set because he likes movies a lot . i didn\u2019t know exactly what to expect out of him but he unbelievably helpful for us , and i genuinely don\u2019t know that we would have been able to make the movie turn out as well as it did without him . if every set was full of noah\u2019s then every movie would be great . or at least better .\nas part of the stipulations for the dollar babies contract , the film is not allowed to be listed online publicly in its entirely . only 2 minutes of footage can be shown at most . as a result we\u2019ve had to keep the film hidden behind a password - protected link , which is unfortunate for all the people who may want to see it , but i do understand the importance of king protecting his properties . what he is doing already is far beyond what most writers would ever dream of doing i think . hopefully one day we can show it to everyone . i\u2019d love to see all the other dollar babies films out there as well .\neveryone at home who donated seems very happy with it from what i can tell . i\u2019m hoping it stays that way !\nwe\u2019re hoping to get into some , but no , there aren\u2019t any particular festivals we have in mind . we\u2019re still in the early stages of submitting it , we just want to keep our options open and expectations realistic .\nabsolutely ! i\u2019ve read nearly twenty of his books in 2017 alone . so far i\u2019d have to say that\nonly insofar as securing the contract . i actually just sent a dvd of the finished film to his estate a day ago , so i\u2019m hoping we\u2019ll get to hear his thoughts on it personally !\n, but it looks like amazon may have beaten me to the punch in that regard .\nthat you can find on my vimeo page pretty soon . we\u2019d like to collaborate on one or two more projects over the summer before i move out to los angeles , but really we have no concrete plans as of now .\nhe played in joseph horning \u2019s dollar baby one for the road as booth .\nwell , in a word , i\u2019m an actor . i tend to play age - appropriate roles ( read \u201cold\u201d ) for either an angry , funny , cranky , or homeless old man . most of the time i\u2019m a supporting character , rather than a lead character . i consider myself a character actor .\ni guess i really didn\u2019t\u2026 until i became one . i spent most of my life as and engineer and high school teacher . then one summer , a film company from new york was shooting a feature film in my hometown ( a film called \u201c\n\u201d ) and they needed extras . i had nothing else to do that summer , so i joined the production . literally fell in love with it the first day on set . i continued doing extra work on weekends until i retired a few years later\u2026then i started acting full - time .\n, the producer - director for a while . i answered a casting call on \u201cbackstage\u201d and went in for the audition . i loved the story , loved the character , and joseph gave me the part . it was really that simple .\noh , it\u2019s the vampires\u2026lol . i mean , we\u2019ve all read and perhaps seen the story of salem\u2019s lot . well , imagine going back to visit that \u00e1rea after 30 years . humans have long since stayed away from there\u2026 that is , until this unsuspecting family gets off the highway and ends up stuck in the middle of it all . who among us hasn\u2019t wondered how we\u2019d react to an incomprehensible , unbelievable situation that threatens us and our loved ones . how far would we go ? how much would we sacrifice ? would we survive ?\nand besides that , it\u2019s stephen king\u2026 i know i love stephen king . i assume other fans of this story do too .\nno , even though i knew the producer - director , i was still required to audition . but i really wanted this role . so , i studied hard for that audition . and i gave it my best . i guess my best was good enough , because he gave me the role .\nit was really amazing . we worked long hours in some tough conditions , but joseph kept cool and collected through it all . it really helps when the person in charge doesn\u2019t get fazed and frazzeled when things go wrong\u2026 because on a movie set , things always go wrong .\nthe story takes place in one winter\u2019s night\u2026much of it outside . so we shot in northern pennsylvania , at night , along an abandoned bridge and road , in the middle of winter . one night we shot until 3 : 30 am and it was around 9 degrees ( f , about - 12 degrees celsius ) . we were cold . we were shivering . there was snow on the ground . but we were stoked . it was that kind of set .\nmuch of our film is set in an abandoned \u201csalem\u2019s lot\u201d , 30 years after the original story . one night we were shooting along an abandoned road and we really had no facilities available . so the producer had a production assistant with a car available to run us up to a store with a restroom when we needed . that night we had several extras as vampires and while we were all warned to make the trip before we got in makeup and costume , one young lady tried to wait but had to go to the restroom after all her vampire makeup was on . well , someone noticed and called the p\u00f3lice , thinking maybe she was hurt or had been assaulted .\npretty soon we had a couple of p\u00f3lice cars on our set to check out what was going on . they actually were very nice and seemed more interested in watching us work . not many films are shot in that \u00e1rea , so they hung around for a while . but it was a little disconcerting when it\u2019s after midnight and the p\u00f3lice show up in the middle of a field . lol .\nactually , i do stay in touch with joseph , with our makeup artists , with chris wagler , one of our producers , and eric slodysko , one of the lead actors . i see others from the production from time to time , too . and we have some upcoming social events and promotional events that will get many of us back together .\n\u201d where i am the lead . i also have several other projects starting in july and august , including \u201c\n\u201d , a faith - based film from a california production company . i\u2019m very fortunate to be working several projects and will be busy for most of the summer .\ni love stephen king . i\u2019ve read most everything he has written and as i told joseph when he gave me the role , i was honored to be performing mr . king\u2019s own words . life just doesn\u2019t get much better than that .\nperhaps the most surprising thing is that i started acting later in life . most of my life i was a computer engineer and then a high school math teacher . after retiring from teaching i took up acting . my third career\u2026 and my most satisfying .\nfirst i want to thank all fans of film , especially those who take the time to watch indie film . without you , our work would all be in vain . we do this for you . yes , we enjoy what we do , but most of all we love to see the fans of our films enjoy our efforts . you make it all worth while . i hope all the fans get to see our film .\nonly that i want to thank you and the dollar baby film festival for giving me this opportunity . i hope you get to see our film and i hope you enjoy it . and , of course , a big \u201cthank you\u201d to stephen king\u2026 for the stories\u2026 for the dollar baby project\u2026 and for giving us a life time of fun and fear\u2026 he\u2019s truly an artist .\nas far back as i remember i always wanted to try acting due to being a fan of film growing up , but i was a shy child growing up . when i went to university i became involved with the\nsociety ( gust ) which give me opportunities to appear on screen , which helped me get comfortable in front of the camera .\n\u2019s meetings and i liked the idea . afterwards i talked to landon to ask if he needed any help with the project , which opened the door for my involvement .\nare relatable and there is a sense of romance involved with a loved one watching over you from the afterlife . also , it\u2019s a stephen king adaptation and the man writing is incredible , always worth seeing his adaptations .\nsomeone in the crew suggested to landon about auditioning me the part of bill , i originally came on board to help behind the scenes , however i agreed to read for the part and landon then offered me the role .\nit was a great experience , landon had a lot of great ideas and he made the cast and crew feel very welcomed during the production of the film .\n, luss which was north of glasgow and the location was beautiful . when i had arrived , landon informed me that there was a slight change in the script and that i would have to sing . as much as i enjoy singing , i\u2019m not very good at it and it took a few takes to get it right . that was a funny moment for me .\ni\u2019m still in contact with iona macritchie and i have exchanged a few messages with landon .\ni am currently starring in a new project directed and written by david campbell , which is a mockumentary about one man who wants to realise his dream of becoming a wrestler , and the hapless camera crew who follow his every move . in preparation for the role , i began my professional wrestling training at the\nwhich i am very fond of and i would argue has to be one of the best movies ever made .\ni think due to being 6ft 2\u201d people would assume i was good at sports like basketball , however i\u2019m terrible at sports . also , i think i surprise people with my cooking as i have been told i can cook a good steak .\nthank you for the interview , it has been great . i would like to say to anyone reading this who\u2019s maybe a little worried about getting into films . first of all , try and get involved with anything film related , don\u2019t worry about messing up because it\u2019s a learning experience and although the process of coming up with ideas and making them happen can be difficult , it is so rewarding seeing it all come together .\ni\u2019m viktor hernandez , i\u2019m an actor and filmmaker originally from el salvador and now residing in north carolina , usa . i have been acting professionally for over 17 years now . i have had the opportunity to be in a few big hollywood movies and just a few years back i started writing and directing .\ni think it was when i was 12 years old when i realized that i enjoyed telling stories in a unique manner . i enjoyed watching movies and wanted to be in them . the dream didn\u2019t come true until years later when i had the opportunity to become an actor and be part of a film . after acting for many years i also wanted to tell my stories and started directing my own short films just a few years back .\nwe started filming in september of 2017 and finished principal photography in march 2018 . we have had many difficulties making the film but we are hopeful that it will be finished by july 2018 . the main reason it took this long to film is due to the budget for the production . we actually had no budget to film it . everyone involved in the production donated their talent and time and expertise to make it happen , therefore we had to schedule the shoots in a way that everyone would be available without causing disruption to their other jobs or engagements . that being said , the cost to make it would be over $ 2000 plus some additional miscellaneous expenses and including some of the actors accommodations and refreshments .\ni saw a posting in one of our filmmakers groups on facebook by the writer of the adaptation ( carmen smith ) that wanted collaborators to make the short film and i submitted my name to be consider to direct it . after the producer / writer saw some of my work , she sent me the script , and i really liked the way that the suspense is built throughout the whole story without giving too much away .\ni really had no clue that something like this was available until the writer mentioned how the process worked . carmen smith had done all the paperwork and investigation before i came on board . this is a really good opportunity .\nthere were several funny moments on set , mainly having to do with the dialog and the way that it was delivered by the actors and also on occasions the way that i would try to recreate certain scenes for the actors . the special moments really happened every shoot day , with the collaboration of everyone involved in the production , but also having to get some shots using diy gear and doing some conventional make believe for several scenes .\nthat is one of the things that i wasn\u2019t aware when i signed up to direct this short . i understand that the film can be shown at film festivals and special private screenings but i think it would be nice to have a platform to show all of the work based on the short stories from this great author .\nsince we haven\u2019t finished the film , i haven\u2019t gotten any good or bad reviews so far , but its coming together and i will be open to any constructive criticism like with any of my previous work .\nwe are planning on submitting the film to several festivals in the us and other countries .\nno , since the producer carmen smith was the one who has handled all of the process regarding the dollar baby . we will send a copy to stephen king when the film is finished and we hope to get some kind of response from him .\n\u201c . it may not be easy to set up and execute , but i would like a different challenge and the surprise factor of the story is always something that gets my attention .\nright now we are still in post - production for the short film and i am doing the editing , but also i\u2019m writing another script to hopefully shoot by the end of the year . it will be another thriller .\ni imagine we are talking about stephen king fans , i would like to thank all the fans out there for having an interest to see how my version of the short story comes out . i hope that we can share it with you and all the fans that follow the dollar baby stories .\ni want to thank you for reaching out and doing this interview to allow me to talk about my project and help to get the word out . thanks a million ! ! i invite everyone that would like to find out more about my previous work or new projects to visit my website\nmy name is steven mcdonald . i am an actor living in edinburgh , scotland . i do mostly screen acting but also some stage work . i have been a songwriter for 30 years and release albums with my band\n. i am learning to direct and devise screen and stage plays just now and would also love to write novels in the future .\ni was used to performing on stage as a musician but was persuaded about 7 years ago by a friend to have a go st musical theatre . i realised quickly that i enjoyed being on stage and after having finished acting in a production of bugsy malone , i started auditioning for lead roles and found myself being cast . i decided in 2016 to turn pro and started screen acting in 2017 . i was involved in about 25 screen projects last year .\ni saw an advert by landon kestlinger and immediately contacted him . i am a huge stephen king fan and already knew the story from\n. i wanted to play the part of alden as i thought it would suit me . and it was an honour to be involved .\na lot of people think stephen king is all about horror . but that is far from the truth . this is a touching story about relationships between people who care deeply about one another . there is a supernatural element of course which adds stephen king\u2019s unique signature , however the sentimental journey of the characters for me makes it special .\ni applied online and sent a cv with links to my previous work and some headshots and stills from other film projects .\nhe was great . a pleasure working with him . he is a talented and driven director and i loved the script for\n. i felt it facilitated very well the transition from book to screen . the last lines get me every time emotionally .\nsome really special moments , mostly because i was working with great people . the cast and crew were lovely to work with . i knew carrie already so the fact we were playing family friends felt pretty natural . and it was the first time i had worked with freda but the scenes together were really enjoyable . i hope i can work with both actors and crew again .\n. the version i will be doing is in english and is based on polish folklore . i am also going to be playing live gigs over the summer with my band\nyes . huge fan . i usually download his audiobooks as he narrates a lot of them . my favourites are classics like\ni am a qualified lawyer . i practiced full time for 20 years before i turned pro as an actor .\ni really appreciate being asked and if you want to follow what i do or keep in touch i have a facebook page . see\nmy band are also on facebook . see urltoken or you can find us on apple music , spotify etc .\nthank you again for asking me to do this . and a huge thanks to landon for asking me to play alden . i really appreciate it . and a shout out too to carrie , freda and the crew . hope to see you all soon .\ni am actor local to atlanta . i have lived and travelled abroad but the film industry took a foothold here in atlanta , georgia a few years ago and so i returned to take my place in it . i am also a floral assistant , culinary and hiking enthusiast .\nhahahahaha . i want to be an actor long before i gave in to the deep desire to do so , probably 15 years ago but i tried to suppress the need and ultimately decided to pursue it professionally . you see , i tried not to be an actor because i do value stability and this is not often an industry that provides monetary or geographical consistency but my heart won . if you were born to do something it is difficult to ignore . also , film acting is a bit different because the lens strips away all facade and sees into your soul - that can be a scary thing .\ni saw a posting on actor\u2019s access and submitted an audition , i was fortunate enough to be entrusted with such a rich character as ellen .\nwe all walk around as multiple versions of ourselves and i loved seeing a duplicitous main character who is an outwardly \u201cput together\u201d woman and has a take charge / even violent alter ego . the characters all have layers and that is always attractive as it allows and audience to explore the levels of themselves too .\nstephen cast a large net and posted on actors access and luckily i was granted an audition and brought ellen to life .\nhe is a great communicator and very generous as a director . also , as the writer of the screenplay ( as adapted from stephen king ) he was not tied to his vision alone . stephen invited collaboration and watched out for our well being . he is an actors director so to speak .\nthe night we filmed not much went as planned and it was a very cold night but we huddled together and made jokes in between scenes to distract ourselves . it fostered a collegial environment in which to work and with very intense scenes like mine one needs to be able to build in a positive and safe space as well .\ni don\u2019t . atlanta is a smaller market but it is quite saturated and i can only hope to work with some of these folks in the future .\nyes i am a fan . although , i must admit that it has been at least 10 years since i have read one of his novels .\ni am an only , a middle , and and oldest child - i know that can be a bit confusing . i am quite positive that each of those rolls has helped to shape me uniquely .\nthe pleasure was mine . thank you for your support and time spent reading my thoughts . please support small film productions in your local areas and never ever convince yourself that you are too old to chase your dreams . i believe that you only live one and since you can fail at something you don\u2019t like doing , you might as well spend your life chasing what you love . be brave and live boldly .\ngo behind the scenes of the mission : impossible movies , check out

the pace is slow and the horrors are introduced just as slowly , but any faster and they would probably seem ridiculous . the film kept me watching , wanting to know what the resolution would be , but i imagine the slow pace will frustrate audiences , and they will probably feel disappointed if they watch for a resolution . the blue hour is in turns gorgeous , creepy , and frustrating\u2014more of a strange experience than a movie you\u2019d walk out of and say , \u201ci really enjoyed that ! \u201d the film is a lot of things , and it comes together well , although i have a feeling it won\u2019t be to everyone\u2019s taste . a lot of murder , not a lot of boys kissing .\nidk if most of the people who watch this film for the first time felt the same way i had which is confusion .\nnot all the narrative threads quite come together in the blue hour , and it\u2019s a huge testament to the film that it doesn\u2019t really matter . the movie is sensual , mysterious and tense . the mood draws you in deeply , and it just makes you crave for more . this is one of the few films this year i\u2019m already eager to rewatch \u2014 it\u2019s a magical world , full of hints , deceptions and paranoia .\nthis is one of the more unsettling aspects of the film : tam and phum inhabit an almost empty , haunted landscape , and seem mostly unfazed by the horrors around them , at least at first . early on , tam bashes in the head of a gun - wielding thug and seems frightened but not particularly bothered by the murder . this gives the blue hour the strange logic of a nightmare , where shadowy horrors make sense even though you can\u2019t quite grasp why .\nthe blue hour is a hard film to sort into a genre . there\u2019s a level of romance , but it\u2019s certainly not a romantic movie . maybe a very slow thriller , or a mostly pleasant horror ? actually , the closest thing to a genre that this feature from thailand falls into is a murakami novel : all vague symbolism , melancholic , alienated teenagers , and bizarre , unsettling magical realism .\nthis very welcome turn into less familiar territory means that the blue hour can abandon or at least heavily supplement its overly familiar coming - out and first - love romance angle , with several scary occurrences and twists producing both welcome and unwelcome frissons that\u2019ll keep audiences on their toes . but boonyawatana\u2019s command of the film ' s tricky , mercurial tone isn\u2019t strong enough to keep the film readable or even just engaging throughout and at almost 100 minutes , there\u2019s at least a good 15 minutes that feel like filler material .\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 .\nthough no\u00e9 didn\u2019t want to cast porn actors in love , which he insists is not a porn film .\nit\u2019s interesting that one of these meanings evokes the eye , cinema and pleasure , while the other relates to the ear , music and pain . but which of them fits \u201cthe blue hour\u201d ? take your pick . perhaps the most striking and noteworthy thing about this independent thai film is that it intertwines the two meanings so deftly and completely . in so doing , it reminds us that while films in the west usually present sexual pleasure as primarily a bodily function and a ( temporary ) flight from death , in asian cinema the same phenomenon often has a spiritual dimension that connects with , rather than flees , mortality .\non the character level , i find tam ( the sensitive one ) more relatable and believable than phum ( who ' s a victim of the film ' s dreamlike state ) . some of the dialogue seems a bit on the nose , but it ' s hard to judge these things via subtitles . also , much of the film is shot quite beautifully .\non the character level , i find tam ( the sensitive one ) more relatable and believable than phum ( who ' s a victim of the film ' s dreamlike state ) .\nsome of the dialogue seems a bit on the nose , but it ' s hard to judge these things via subtitles . also , much of the film is shot quite beautifully .\nwhen gaspar no\u00e9\u2019s love premiered in cannes last may the film\u2019s mostly unsimulated sex , all filmed in graphic 3d , had journalists reaching for their laptops .\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\na collection of queer characters , representations , and sensibilities on film . from queer masterpieces to camp classics , documentaries to romantic comedies , \u2026\nwe acknowledge the support of the canada council for the arts for our publishing program .\noverall : t ' was a great and unique movie i could say since it made me feel curious and had my urge to re - watch this film .\ns / o 2 this film for showing me that true romance is taking ur bf to a haunted abandoned public pool on the first date and a garbage dump on the second one . and they say chivalry is dead !\nalthough love , strife , and horror do eventually settle into some sort of alignment , the set of messages conveyed by their combination is hardly profound : repression generates aggression , there ' s respite in tenderness , and endless stories of troubled souls can certainly invade your sleep . but while dreams obviously don ' t always follow standard logic , invoking them to justify random plot shifts feels like an awfully convenient way of papering over the arbitrary . and if , as the blue hour ' s sugary ending implies , it was indeed all just a dream , what ' s the point in falling asleep in the first place ? there are far less convoluted ways to arrive at the same obvious goal .\ni have a particular interest in the works of hitchcock , kurasawa , nolan , lynch , malick , wong kar - wai , welles , and scorsese . i am developing an interest in southeast and east asian cinema . my research areas include film and literary theory . i am currently working on the topic of film , memory , and dreams - subjectivity in cinema . and i still love spielberg and lucas .\nthe digital cinematography , with its frequently shallow depth of field , toggles smoothly between crisp and darkly suggestive images , though chapavich temnitikul \u2019s score is much better at ratcheting up the tension than at accompanying the melodrama . besides the camerawork , production designer phairot siriwat ' s atmospheric locations are the key contribution that enhance the production values of this no - doubt very modestly budgeted independent film .\nthat ' s more or less where i ' m at . i compared the movie to mulholland dr . above , but that last half - hour is more like lost highway or inland empire , really . mulholland dr . actually resolves into a pretty straightforward narrative once you look at it , which can ' t really be said for the other two movies mentioned .\nwhen i finish watching the film , my reaction was like ;\nhuh , what happen ? !\n,\nwho did this and who did that ? !\n. i was just shocked by the ending but i really did not felt horrified nor scared .\n\u201ci was in the bathroom thinking i should run to the airport and go back to the states . \u201d\nwhat could have been a clever metaphor ( internalized homophobia literalized as a ghost ) is wasted in a boring ugly - looking movie , filmed in the darkest way possible , making details , important details , fade into blackness . aesthetically , there ' s little hang onto with this film as everything is inscrutable . the cool blues and teals are omnipresent and oppressive , choking out anything else in the film . overall , it was a chore to sit through , proving that even lgbt films can be tedious .\n917 international guests , including more than 400 film industry professionals , flocked to montreal over the course of this year\u2019s three - week festival and its fronti\u00e8res market . the festival team is delighted to have welcomed over 100 international journalists , including esteemed representatives from the hollywood reporter , variety , screen international , the wall street journal , the daily beast , indiewire , and le monde .\nnot exactly the most coherent effort but i appreciate any attempt at queer storytelling within the horror genre . overall the film is very much a question mark , and i struggled to make sense of what was happening throughout , but this was a mood piece first and foremost and it certainly exceeds in crafting an unsettling atmosphere .\n\u201cthe character is not myself but he\u2019s partly me and partly all these other guys i was hanging out with when i was in film school . you can see that murphy really likes cinema with all the posters in his room ; maybe he\u2019s working as a second assistant director on a tv show . in any case the guy\u2019s full of himself . the movie is about the failure of our success . \u201d\nahh , the french . and yes , he says the sex club is real .\nthe 19th edition of the fantasia international film festival returned to concordia university\u2019s hall and j . a de s\u00e8ve theatres , and secured record numbers at montreal\u2019s mccord museum , la grand biblioth\u00e8que , yuk yuk\u2019s comedy club , and parc de la paix in the quartier des spectacles . for the sixth consecutive year , the festival succeeded in attracting more than 100 , 000 spectators for 195 indoor screenings , three outdoor screenings , eight virtual reality films , and numerous special events .\nyes to both . the stuff with the mother honestly did very little for me ; same with the stuff with the brother . for me , the imagery outweighed all of that - - the junkyard , with its writhing masses of detritus and mysterious gunmen , for instance .\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 .\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\n\u201cit\u2019s the only job where you can stop a girl in the street and get her number in one second . david lynch says it gives you entry into worlds you cannot get into otherwise and it\u2019s true that being a director opens a lot of doors . it\u2019s weird how people care about being in movies . if you do a mafia film you call the mafia guy and he\u2019s going to tell you all his secret stories . \u201d\nso i also saw this twice , and it is weird , even after you accept the genre mashup going on . for example ( mild spoilers going forward ) , when a ghost , evil spirit , or whatever finally seems to appear , the tension immediately dissipates and the mood shifts from terror to sadness and hopelessness . ( not to say this scene isn ' t scary . ) what seems to be going on is that most of the events of the second half of the film represent tam ' s state of mind , not events that are really happening . the continuity problems alone are enough to indicate this . but i struggle to make sense of the ending whether it ' s real or not .\non a motorcycle that phum borrows , the boys leave the city and visit a garbage dump on land that phum says his family owns and that still could provide them a fortune . but now the place is a morbid nightmare realm out of charles dickens by way of david cronenberg . it seems to conjure all of the demons buried in tam\u2019s psyche , even as it turns up guns , corpses , criminal activity linked to tam\u2019s brother , and ghosts that connect back to certain unquiet spirits sensed at that ramshackle swimming pool , to which the film eventually returns .\nno\u00e9 would go on to make the less successful drug - drenched melo - drama , enter the void , all the while knowing it would be love that would again capture the audience\u2019s attention . yet it took some time to fund .\nthereafter , they strip down to their undershorts and plunge into the enveloping blueness of that derelict swimming pool . the action evokes baptism , rebirth , the safety of the womb and a range of other possible associations , but its main function is to unite the boys in their own world - away - from - the - world . boonyawatana shows them looking up from underneath the water , and gives us pov shots of the world above . in real life , of course , filthy water like this would be the ticket to a variety of eye ailments , but here we\u2019re meant to focus on the sensory wonderment and romantic connection .\nthe relationship only really takes off when phum subsequently shows up at tam\u2019s home , manages to remain unseen by tam\u2019s mother by climbing up to the roof , and the two start hanging out . during a trip to a garbage dump that\u2019s on land that used to belong to phum\u2019s family , the film starts to move into much darker territory , as things seem to move underneath the trash and corpses , gunmen and other assorted bogeymen seem to appear both here and in other places - - and it becomes clear that at least some of these elements might be manifestations of tam\u2019s subconscious . indeed , phum foreshadowed as much during their first meeting when he suggested there were ghosts present at the abandoned pool , a hint one should never take lightly in films from the country of filmmakers such as apichatpong weerasethakul .\nyup . i still don ' t know what this movie is . it ' s creepy . it ' s frustrating . time moves independently of the film . you ' ll think you watched three minutes of a really slow movie and 15 minutes will have passed . at other times , you ' ll insist that time has stopped altogether . i ' m not sure what this movie is , but it is fascinating .\na cannes regular , the argentina - born french director loves to shock , though in the past he had dealt more with violence .\nthe story here opens at a place and time that also evoke that crucial color . at a rundown , abandoned swimming pool , in the bluish light of dusk , two boys who look about high - school age find each other , apparently having arranged the rendezvous on the internet . tam ( attaphan poonsawas ) , the younger and prettier of the two , arrives bearing the scars of beatings by school bullies who presumably despise him for being gay . initially he seems a bit hesitant at the appearance of the more masculine and confidant phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) , who could be another assailant . but the two boys have come here for the same thing , and they are soon groping their way through their first ( clothed and non - explicit ) sexual encounter .\ni just really got curious of what really happened to the plot of the story so i basically watch the movie one more time and i just found out what this movie is all about though . lol : p\na young girl with a shady past travels to los angeles and finds herself getting mixed up in the seedy and dark underbelly of the city .\nset in london in 1977 , the plot takes place against the background of the silver jubilee . this is a buddy movie between two friends chris and caz who run a pirate radio station from a tower . . . see full synopsis \u00bb\nafter a while as glusman suggests , the sex becomes fairly matter of fact .\nmurphy ( the maiden name of no\u00e9\u2019s mother nora , born in argentina to an irish \u00e9migr\u00e9 father ) becomes a dad and the woman he loves is gone .\nthe story reveals a strong friendship between pid , arm , zee and gump . zee asks gump to hangout several times , but the latter says he has a prior commitment with nai every time . thus the . . . see full summary \u00bb\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\nanyway , this was very much worth seeing . never read the reviews on netflix .\ninterestingly , love had been in the works long before irreversible and no\u00e9 had wanted the then happily married couple , current bond woman monica bellucci and vincent cassel , to star .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\nan interview with terry gilliam , director of\nthe man who killed don quixote .\nin the opening scene of this , there is a really heartbreakingly intimate scene between the two leads . i loved it . that was the end of what i loved about this movie . everything else did . . . not really connect for me and was mostly boring ?\nhe is , as the late great robert palmer once put it , addicted to love .\nboth of those selections get at the thing that most grabbed me about the movie , actually : it starts off like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy and his more assertive , more experienced boyfriend , and then - - about halfway through - - it takes a turn into david lynchville , circa mulholland dr . there are junkyards full of corpses , dogs who just won ' t die , possible hauntings . and all the while the movie is shot like . . . well , like a pretty standard coming - of - age story featuring a sensitive gay boy . i watched the film twice in a week and i still can ' t figure out exactly what to do with it . for all of lynch ' s weirdness , he is at least comforting in that you know what ' s coming ; his style and his content are closely aligned . what ' s interesting - - and frustrating and intriguing - - about this movie is precisely the way in which , with a couple of exceptions , style and content don ' t align .\n\u201csometimes the addiction is more self - destructive , sometimes less . there is something in the chemicals when we\u2019re in love that really drives us crazy . the movie shows that love is not only a land of pleasure and joy , but also a land of war and fear . \u201d\ni didn ' t even look at the ratings , so now i ' m a bit nervous ( the two reviews i posted are mixed - leaning - positive ) . even if it ' s a bust , though , i ' m curious to know how the movie strikes you .\ntam ( atthaphan poonsawas ) , whose bullies think nothing of leaving him beaten up and bleeding on the sports fields of their school , meets phum ( oabnithi wiwattanawarang ) at a pool complex that\u2019s abandoned and somewhat eerie but at least offers the two total privacy . they\u2019ve clearly hooked up via the internet and young tam ' s obviously not familiar with the etiquette of random trysts , though here , and despite the not - exactly - sexy surroundings , he\u2019s not shy to go after what he wants .\nin this strange and haunting ghost story , a bullied gay teenager has a steamy tryst with a stranger he met on the internet , only to have the affair take on darker and more mysterious connotations .\ntam , a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his family and classmates , meets phum , a mysterious teenage drifter , in an abandoned pool complex for a hookup . phum explains that the place is haunted before the two fool around , but a close relationship develops . tam\u2019s fragile emotional state and illness mean reality begins to fall apart , toward a world where unseen spirits threaten\u2014or aid ? \u2014the living .\nso , there ' s tam , a cute high school boy whom we meet after he ' s had a beating . in an abandoned pool , he meets phum . they exchange handies . phum tells tam to exhale all the air and submerge himself in the pool . this is the last normal thing to happen .\nthat scene where the ghost or whatever it is appears is particularly good , i think , and for precisely the reasons you mention . it ' s actually really tense - - though that may be my own inexperience with that kind of ghost - story talking - - but the tension is a build - up to something much more devastating ( and i do find the end pretty devastating , even if i don ' t understand it ) .\nsiff ' s mission is to create experiences that bring people together to discover extraordinary films from around the world . it is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is more informed , aware , and alive .\ncheif among the festival\u2019s 22 buzzed -

2016 .\nmost of the reviews i ' ve read focus on the movie ' s interaction with lgbtq issues in thailand , and that ' s certainly a major theme . but i think it ' s only a major theme , depending on how you read the last twenty minutes or so ( which i won ' t spoil , on behalf of those who hate spoilers ) .\nglusman , who has a minor part in roland emmerich\u2019s upcoming gay drama stonewall , was thrown in at the deep end .\n\u201cgaspar had decided to start with a close up of my genitals , \u201d he recalls of the first day of shooting .\na sexy supernatural love story about a bullied loner , tam , who finds solace in the arms of phum , a boy he meets at a haunted swimming pool . phum reveals that his family ' s land has been stolen and the new found lovers imagine a perfect life together on the disputed land . haunted by a ghostly presence , tam struggles to stay connected to reality .\n\u201cthe good thing about this movie is all the people i proposed to be on - screen knew my previous movies and knew we were doing something valuable , a real movie about a real subject \u2014 love \u2014 and not something dirty , \u201d no\u00e9 says .\n\u201cit\u2019s more like a joke rather than creating a scandal . i wanted to have fun , to play with the audience . \u201d\nit does have a lot of things i like in films : gays , sad hugs , water metaphors ; but i had a hard time adjusting to the constant genre switch . surprisingly , the ending ( what an ending ) didn ' t completely lost me .\neventually the story swirls into a lynchian hellscape at half speed . you ' re bored to tears by the lethargic pace , but simultaneously there ' s nothing but entertainment . the two boys make out in a garbage dump . there ' s a body count . mold is involved . it ' s all dream logic - y and maybe not even in chronological order . somebody may have schizophrenia .\ninteresting for awhile , but it was just too enigmatic ultimately to connect with me . i did appreciate the filmmaking craft on display .\nthough he will say the ejaculation scene was 70 % as it happened and that he added one additional spray squarely aimed at audiences .\nthe ebert club is our hand -

only section on urltoken\nthing is , i don ' t think that the ending is particularly sugary . for one thing , the reality - dream stuff is so mixed up here that i ' m not convinced that the last shot isn ' t also in tam ' s head . for another - - well , on first viewing my impression was that tam was leading phum out into the water in order to commit murder - suicide ( this reading would depend on taking the death of tam ' s family as a real - world event ) . on second viewing , i was less certain . but , whatever ' s going on there , it certainly isn ' t sweetness - and - light . it isn ' t sugary .\ntam , a timid loner , is bullied regularly by his fellow pupils at school . he is met with similar rejection and suspicion within the narrow confines of his parents\u2019 dingy home , where his father beats him . one day tam arranges online to meet phum at a derelict swimming pool . they are both looking for sex , but their encounter leaves them with a feeling of comfort and security . a close bond develops between the two boys and , before long , they are roaming the rubbish heaps and dark corners of the city together , day and night . phum opens a door for tam , revealing a fantastical parallel universe full of spirits and dangerous encounters . although he feels safe and loved for the first time in his life , tam can no longer differentiate between dream and reality and finds himself increasingly drawn into a spiral of paranoia and violence . in his feature debut boonyawatana leads his protagonist into an ambiguous microcosm full of chasms , at the same time cleverly toying with the conventions of different genres .\nfor the music i gave it a 1 . 0 because honestly i don ' t really recall their being any music until the very end sadly and i was looking forward well i ' m always looking forward to music in horror movies that ' s just cause i ' m weird .\nafter a somewhat nervous and quick first sexual encounter ( nudity and sex are more often suggested than actually shown ) , the two get talking around the pool and tam reveals something of his day - to - day misery at school and at home , where his mother ( duangjai hirunsri ) whines about his father hating\nit\n( i . e . , his sexual orientation ) and wonders out loud why her son can\u2019t have any pity on her and simply ignore his desire to be with men . though it\u2019s clear why the uncomfortable scenes with tam\u2019s family are needed , boonyawatana and co - screenwriter waasuthep ketpetch don\u2019t do themselves any favors here with some extremely didactic and on - the - nose ( at least in the subtitles ) dialogue .\nit may not be\ngoo - goo eyed ,\nbut it does appear that the principals don ' t have a body hair between them . i ' ve thought before that the word\nhairless\nis often code for something else , but i haven ' t figured out quite what .\ni ' ve thought before that the word\nhairless\nis often code for something else , but i haven ' t figured out quite what .\none of the things that ' s interesting to me here - - and this is related to the genre - play alluded to above - - is the fact that these boys are very much types . if much of this movie is in tam ' s head , it makes sense to me that phum might wind up being much more typically seme ( to cross from one asian country to another ) -

depth research , he made some important modifications on this hundred stringed instrument , like a new chromatic arrangement of notes and increased the range to cover full three octaves . besides , he also created a new technique of playing with which he could sustain notes and maintain sound continuity . today santoor is at par with any classical instrument , well established not just all over india , but across the globe .\nwith his creative genius , pt . shivkumar sharma has created a new genre of instrumental music . through his performance career of over a half century , he has created millions of new listeners and ardent fans of indian classical music . his performances are such a brilliant combination of rich knowledge , perfect skill and abundant spontaneous creativity , that all the sections of listeners feel enriched . little surprise that his concerts are awaited by connoisseurs , music students , musicians and lay listeners alike .\nhe believes in the immortality of this great heritage of indian classical music and wishes to leave no stone unturned to make it so . with this aim in mind , he has been imparting his knowledge to the next generation of musicians . so deep is his conviction that despite no institutional or government support , he has been teaching in the guru shishya tradition , without charging a fee from his students , who come to him from all the corners of india as well as different parts of the world like japan , germany , australia and america .\nwhile he never compromises on the purity of music , pt . sharma\u2019s open minded approach has resulted in some of the most popular , innovative experimental albums like call of the valley , feelings , mountains , etc . in fact he is among those rare musicians who have been able to create successfully in the world of film music as well . now for over forty years santoor is an indispensable part of indian film music . his compositions for blockbusters like silsila , lamhe , chandni , darr , etc . are all time favourites across the country .\nmusic , he believes , is food for the soul . naturally , his music is meditative and soothing at the same time . his immense faith in the ancient wisdom of vedanta has resulted in creation of music for shlokas from the upanishads and a new raag called antardhwani .\nhtml public\n- / / softquad / / dtd hotmetal pro 4 . 0 : : 19971010 : : extensions to html 4 . 0 / / en\nhmpro4 . dtd\npandit shiv kumar sharma is a very famous and respected instrumentalist . he plays the santoor . read this article to know more about his life and works .\nasha bhonsle a . r . rahman dr . k . j . yesudas k . l . saigal k . s . chitra kishore kumar lata mangeshkar mohammed rafi mukesh s . janaki\nshe entered the kannada film industry through vamshavriksha directed by b . v . karanth and girish karnad . her next venture was kaadu directed by girish karnad . she made her debut in a commercial production through kesarina kamala .\nsudhir , born in palakkad ( kerala ) has spent all his life in delhi and hyderabad . he had a long stint at ndtv ( for 16 years from february 1995 -

new film suffragette . the movie also shows historical figures and fictional characters interacting as they struggle to get women the vote . here are six real - life suffragettes ( plus one man ) who either appear in suffragette or whose stories are reflected in the film .\nfor the film , what matters primarily is that the actor represents himself to the public before the camera , rather than representing someone else . one of the first to sense the actor\u2019s metamorphosis by this form of testing was pirandello . though his remarks on the subject in his novel si gira were limited to the negative aspects of the question and to the silent film only , this hardly impairs their validity . for in this respect , the sound film did not change anything essential . what matters is that the part is acted not for an audience but for a mechanical contrivance \u2013 in the case of the sound film , for two of them . \u201cthe film actor , \u201d wrote pirandello , \u201cfeels as if in exile \u2013 exiled not only from the stage but also from himself . with a vague sense of discomfort he feels inexplicable emptiness : his body loses its corporeality , it evaporates , it is deprived of reality , life , voice , and the noises caused by his moving about , in order to be changed into a mute image , flickering an instant on the screen , then vanishing into silence . . . . the projector will play with his shadow before the public , and he himself must be content to play before the camera . \u201d this situation might also be characterized as follows : for the first time \u2013 and this is the effect of the film \u2013 man has to operate with his whole living person , yet forgoing its aura . for aura is tied to his presence ; there can be no replica of it . the aura which , on the stage , emanates from macbeth , cannot be separated for the spectators from that of the actor . however , the singularity of the shot in the studio is that the camera is substituted for the public . consequently , the aura that envelops the actor vanishes , and with it the aura of the figure he portrays .\nthe real - life character of emmeline pankhurst , portrayed by meryl streep , appears in suffragette . though pankhurst is seen on screen for just a few minutes , she & apos ; s a symbol of inspiration for many of the film & apos ; s characters \u2014 just as pankhurst inspired suffragettes in real life .\nthe novel ' s 1969 film adaptation saw bond ( george lazenby ) driving off to settle down with tracy ( diana rigg ) , only to have her die in a hail of bullets from foe blofeld ( telly savalas ) , as louis armstrong ' s brutally ironic we have all the time in the world plays .\npenned by robert wade and neal purvis \u2013 the screenwriters on all of craig ' s bond films to date , from casino royale to spectre \u2013 the film is set to open with a newly retired bond in\nwedded bliss\nwith dr madeleine swann ( lea seydoux ) , his love interest at the end of spectre .\nafter a deadly flu epidemic kills most of the world\u2019s population , lucky survivors bide their time in hermetically sealed bunkers located 30 feet underground , where they can interact with select others only by sophisticated video conferencing . things start to go haywire in this stable environment after a combative denizen named orlando is banned from his linked community . residents start disappearing or harming themselves , and odd markers ( such as a rat ) hint that these pods aren\u2019t as closed - off as they seem . however , it isn\u2019t until phoenix and denver ( who , improbably , have fallen for each other ) decide to make a run for it that domain\u2019s true mysteries start to reveal themselves . the subsequent unraveling of their situation only creates more questions of what their reality is . suspense - filled and atmospheric\u2014courtesy of an eerie score and a muted color palette\u2014domain raises questions about how well we can really know other people . as the bunker designer nadine puts it at one point : \u201cnever underestimate humanity\u2019s capacity to be punitive . \u201d \u2014a . z .\nplot : thirty years after the events of the first film , a new blade runner , lapd officer k , unearths a long - buried secret that has the potential to plunge what ' s left of society into chaos . k ' s discovery leads him on a quest to find rick deckard , a former lapd blade runner who has been missing for 30 years .\nstill , the film has its sporadic pleasures , mostly provided by bella , who effectively conveys destiny\u2019s enjoyment of her over - the - top murderous and sexy antics , and michael madsen , as lisa\u2019s supportive stepdad . the veteran actor delivers a nicely low - key performance , but you can\u2019t avoid the feeling that he\u2019s merely cashing a paycheck while waiting for quentin tarantino to write him another great role .\nthe artistic performance of a stage actor is definitely presented to the public by the actor in person ; that of the screen actor , however , is presented by a camera , with a twofold consequence . the camera that presents the performance of the film actor to the public need not respect the performance as an integral whole . guided by the cameraman , the camera continually changes its position with respect to the performance . the sequence of positional views which the editor composes from the material supplied him constitutes the completed film . it comprises certain factors of movement which are in reality those of the camera , not to mention special camera angles , close - ups , etc . hence , the performance of the actor is subjected to a series of optical tests . this is the first consequence of the fact that the actor\u2019s performance is presented by means of a camera . also , the film actor lacks the opportunity of the stage actor to adjust to the audience during his performance , since he does not present his performance to the audience in person . this permits the audience to take the position of a critic , without experiencing any personal contact with the actor . the audience\u2019s identification with the actor is really an identification with the camera . consequently the audience takes the position of the camera ; its approach is that of testing . this is not the approach to which cult values may be exposed .\navid s6 - the latest in high - end control surface technology and our most recent acquisition . the studio is configured as a state - of - the - art multi - purpose setup for 5 . 1 surround sound film mixing , music production and mastering , housing some of the best hardware and software that money can buy . this facility is one of the favourites among our senior bachelor of audio students who often spend hours in the studio perfecting their craft .\naround 1900 technical reproduction had reached a standard that not only permitted it to reproduce all transmitted works of art and thus to cause the most profound change in their impact upon the public ; it also had captured a place of its own among the artistic processes . for the study of this standard nothing is more revealing than the nature of the repercussions that these two different manifestations \u2013 the reproduction of works of art and the art of the film \u2013 have had on art in its traditional form .\nas reported by jurassic outpost , nbcuniversal purchased three new web domains on dec . 15 , 2016 . all three domains offer subtle hints at the premise of jurassic world 2 with their names alone : urltoken ( and . org ) , and islanublarrescuemission . com . the former strongly alludes to the presence of some form of \u201cdinosaurs\u2019 rights\u201d group as part of the film , while the latter is a reference to isla nublar , the home of the theme parks depicted in both jurassic world and the original jurassic park .\nan outburst of some kind is missed , then , but chiha\u2019s constraint is appropriate to the metaphysical straitjacket this fiercely intelligent woman feels herself to be in , and to her somewhat mute nephew . a deliberate deceleration of pace is carried over even into the black - hole nightclub we repeatedly revisit , where the broiling sea of dancers is mesmerically slowed - down . the pain of the film\u2019s emotional revelations and disappointments is never absent , however , most clearly expressed in the muted desperation of nadia\u2019s fellow residents at an alpine sanatorium .\nit\u2019s quite forgivable , therefore , to hope for a dalle explosion \u2013 it\u2019s part of her stardom \u2013 but chiha\u2019s tone is set by the slightly melancholy , night - time riverside campfire . expression of emotion is subtle and deliberate , the film\u2019s rhythm an almost narcotized blur . episodes repeat themselves in a steady accretion of character , as pierre and nadia walk around paris a lot . for all the frequent moments of apparent inaction , however , the characters are never doing nothing . both dalle and isa\u00efe sultan amply inhabit these moments when chiha allows them ( not so ) simply to be .\nthe shooting of a film , especially of a sound film , affords a spectacle unimaginable anywhere at any time before this . it presents a process in which it is impossible to assign to a spectator a viewpoint which would exclude from the actual scene such extraneous accessories as camera equipment , lighting machinery , staff assistants , etc . \u2013 unless his eye were on a line parallel with the lens . this circumstance , more than any other , renders superficial and insignificant any possible similarity between a scene in the studio and one on the stage . in the theater one is well aware of the place from which the play cannot immediately be detected as illusionary . there is no such place for the movie scene that is being shot . its illusionary nature is that of the second degree , the result of cutting . that is to say , in the studio the mechanical equipment has penetrated so deeply into reality that its pure aspect freed from the foreign substance of equipment is the result of a special procedure , namely , the shooting by the specially adjusted camera and the mounting of the shot together with other similar ones . the equipment - free aspect of reality here has become the height of artifice ; the sight of immediate reality has become an orchid in the land of technology .\nthe question remains whether it provides a platform for the analysis of the film . a closer look is needed here . distraction and concentration form polar opposites which may be stated as follows : a man who concentrates before a work of art is absorbed by it . he enters into this work of art the way legend tells of the chinese painter when he viewed his finished painting . in contrast , the distracted mass absorbs the work of art . this is most obvious with regard to buildings . architecture has always represented the prototype of a work of art the reception of which is consummated by a collectivity in a state of distraction . the laws of its reception are most instructive .\nmagician and surgeon compare to painter and cameraman . the painter maintains in his work a natural distance from reality , the cameraman penetrates deeply into its web . there is a tremendous difference between the pictures they obtain . that of the painter is a total one , that of the cameraman consists of multiple fragments which are assembled under a new law . thus , for contemporary man the representation of reality by the film is incomparably more significant than that of the painter , since it offers , precisely because of the thoroughgoing permeation of reality with mechanical equipment , an aspect of reality which is free of all equipment . and that is what one is entitled to ask from a work of art .\none of the foremost tasks of art has always been the creation of a demand which could be fully satisfied only later . the history of every art form shows critical epochs in which a certain art form aspires to effects which could be fully obtained only with a changed technical standard , that is to say , in a new art form . the extravagances and crudities of art which thus appear , particularly in the so - called decadent epochs , actually arise from the nucleus of its richest historical energies . in recent years , such barbarisms were abundant in dadaism . it is only now that its impulse becomes discernible : dadaism attempted to create by pictorial \u2013 and literary \u2013 means the effects which the public today seeks in the film .\nnadia\u2019s relationship with pierre is therefore made obscure and complex . furthermore , she professes a fundamental mistrust of words , and her sometimes - contorted forms of communication are symptomatic of a turning in on oneself , a somewhat frightened self - isolation . pierre meanwhile becomes his own man as it were , taking center stage in his life and in the nightclub , in a sequence that drifts charmingly away from reality . other sequences are piqued by the strange wanderings of background extras , and a dark fairytale notion of being lost in the woods builds as the film\u2019s central metaphor . chiha is unafraid to sink his actors into a soft , dusky murk of underlighting , and the steady understatement builds to a climax of unexpected , sinister cruelty , and literal obscurity . quiet , careful , and rather beguiling .\nwith the different methods of technical reproduction of a work of art , its fitness for exhibition increased to such an extent that the quantitative shift between its two poles turned into a qualitative transformation of its nature . this is comparable to the situation of the work of art in prehistoric times when , by the absolute emphasis on its cult value , it was , first and foremost , an instrument of magic . only later did it come to be recognized as a work of art . in the same way today , by the absolute emphasis on its exhibition value the work of art becomes a creation with entirely new functions , among which the one we are conscious of , the artistic function , later may be recognized as incidental . this much is certain : today photography and the film are the most serviceable exemplifications of this new function .\nit is inherent in the technique of the film as well as that of sports that everybody who witnesses its accomplishments is somewhat of an expert . this is obvious to anyone listening to a group of newspaper boys leaning on their bicycles and discussing the outcome of a bicycle race . it is not for nothing that newspaper publishers arrange races for their delivery boys . these arouse great interest among the participants , for the victor has an opportunity to rise from delivery boy to professional racer . similarly , the newsreel offers everyone the opportunity to rise from passer - by to movie extra . in this way any man might even find himself part of a work of art , as witness vertov\u2019s three songs about lenin or ivens\u2019 borinage . any man today can lay claim to being filmed . this claim can best be elucidated by a comparative look at the historical situation of contemporary literature .\nas a mathematician , the beauty of order guides nadia\u2019s life , and its absence frightens her . but the rigidity she seeks in the world is belied by a personal life that is anything but stable . her persistent drinking , at first limited to evenings , turns out to be destructive alcoholism , which pierre comes to understand , then pity , then revile . her musings begin to sound like drunken rants in the light of her uncontrollable and unattractive addiction , and pierre pushes away , accepting the long ignored attention of his peers and embarking on a surprising , love affair with a man , which he neither trumpets nor conceals . however , his turn of heart from love to contempt for his beloved aunt is quick and exaggerated . it leads to a cruel and unexpected ending , which gives the film its first and last infusion of plot - driven drama , but it doesn\u2019t feel warranted against the monotonous landscape of everything that came before it .\nby close - ups of the things around us , by focusing on hidden details of familiar objects , by exploring common place milieus under the ingenious guidance of the camera , the film , on the one hand , extends our comprehension of the necessities which rule our lives ; on the other hand , it manages to assure us of an immense and unexpected field of action . our taverns and our metropolitan streets , our offices and furnished rooms , our railroad stations and our factories appeared to have us locked up hopelessly . then came the film and burst this prison - world asunder by the dynamite of the tenth of a second , so that now , in the midst of its far - flung ruins and debris , we calmly and adventurously go traveling . with the close - up , space expands ; with slow motion , movement is extended . the enlargement of a snapshot does not simply render more precise what in any case was visible , though unclear : it reveals entirely new structural formations of the subject . so , too , slow motion not only presents familiar qualities of movement but reveals in them entirely unknown ones \u201cwhich , far from looking like retarded rapid movements , give the effect of singularly gliding , floating , supernatural motions . \u201d evidently a different nature opens itself to the camera than opens to the naked eye \u2013 if only because an unconsciously penetrated space is substituted for a space consciously explored by man . even if one has a general knowledge of the way people walk , one knows nothing of a person\u2019s posture during the fractional second of a stride . the act of reaching for a lighter or a spoon is familiar routine , yet we hardly know what really goes on between hand and metal , not to mention how this fluctuates with our moods . here the camera intervenes with the resources of its lowerings and liftings , its interruptions and isolations , it extensions and accelerations , its enlargements and reductions . the camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses .\npainting simply is in no position to present an object for simultaneous collective experience , as it was possible for architecture at all times , for the epic poem in the past , and for the movie today . although this circumstance in itself should not lead one to conclusions about the social role of painting , it does constitute a serious threat as soon as painting , under special conditions and , as it were , against its nature , is confronted directly by the masses . in the churches and monasteries of the middle ages and at the princely courts up to the end of the eighteenth century , a collective reception of paintings did not occur simultaneously , but by graduated and hierarchized mediation . the change that has come about is an expression of the particular conflict in which painting was implicated by the mechanical reproducibility of paintings . although paintings began to be publicly exhibited in galleries and salons , there was no way for the masses to organize and control themselves in their reception . thus the same public which responds in a progressive manner toward a grotesque film is bound to respond in a reactionary manner to surrealism .\nmechanical reproduction of art changes the reaction of the masses toward art . the reactionary attitude toward a picasso painting changes into the progressive reaction toward a chaplin movie . the progressive reaction is characterized by the direct , intimate fusion of visual and emotional enjoyment with the orientation of the expert . such fusion is of great social significance . the greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form , the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public . the conventional is uncritically enjoyed , and the truly new is criticized with aversion . with regard to the screen , the critical and the receptive attitudes of the public coincide . the decisive reason for this is that individual reactions are predetermined by the mass audience response they are about to produce , and this is nowhere more pronounced than in the film . the moment these responses become manifest they control each other . again , the comparison with painting is fruitful . a painting has always had an excellent chance to be viewed by one person or by a few . the simultaneous contemplation of paintings by a large public , such as developed in the nineteenth century , is an early symptom of the crisis of painting , a crisis which was by no means occasioned exclusively by photography but rather in a relatively independent manner by the appeal of art works to the masses .\nwritten & directed by patric chiha produced by charlotte vincent & aurora films

a room where perhaps a quarter of the film takes place - in which the wickedest things are the barbed epigrams , and the dramas are life ' s familiar woes . . .\nwell written and thought provoking - a good one for a book group discussion .\nbut a quiet life is not what fate has in store for the lady and her maid . just when they are about to settle into their new routine and surroundings , a murder happens and somehow the lady is aware that the police does not have the right man . before long , and with the help of her maid , the lady decides to take the matters into her own hands and begins her own series of inquisitions . but nothing is as easy as it seems , for , in the process of solving the murder , she unravels something ever more sinister and gruesome . so what will lady hardcastle do ? will she be able to uncover everything that is wrong in this countryside ? or will fate take a turn against her ? well , this is for you to know when you read \u201ca quiet life in the country\u201d .\nthis is an utterly fascinating novel which gives an entirely new perspective of the wwii time period . it ' s a wholly immersive and wonderful read about a compelling character inspired by the real life of a woman named melinda maclean who was suspected ( but never proven ) to be a soviet spy .\npart of the pic\u2019s success lies in the way cupellini balances contrasting concepts : family offers both security and betrayal , and a sylvan setting can\u2019t supply the kind of shelter needed by those attempting to escape the past . until the unfortunate last quarter - hour , when character consistency is pushed to an unsatisfactory degree , \u201ca quiet life\u201d is full of subtle modulations and terrific little character details ; only rosario\u2019s relationship with renate feels underwritten .\nyou can design a life of less\u2014and more . more of what you love , less of what you don\u2019t . it\u2019s a process , and we\u2019re all in it together . we have created a 30 - day email course that will inspire + encourage you on your journey .\nfor once , put yourself first . love yourself , and make yourself a priority . even for just one day , you deserve everything . every part of the life you are after .\nbritish director terence davies shows dickinson as a person who refused to stick to the strict rules of life in the victorian era . she had a mind of her own , and was not afraid to speak out . at the same time , she seemed to have trouble finding happiness . the most tragic element of her life was that her poetry was hardly appreciated . only a few poems were published in the local paper .\nthere is a rather dismal expectation that when a polemicist \u2013 and natasha walter , thoughtful and considered author of the new feminism and living dolls , has not been afraid to nail her colours to that mast \u2013 turns to fiction , the result will not be a story but a tract . and when , early in a quiet life , laura\u2019s ambivalence as a mother is followed closely by florence\u2019s paean to a communist utopia of sexual equality , the possibility that the message is going to override the medium does present itself . but as the story gathers pace , the novel\u2019s intelligent and determined examination of sexual politics takes its proper place \u2013 subsidiary to character and in the background of a robust and well - plotted narrative .\ni did not know that the first novel by natasha walter , was seminal non - fiction the new feminism and living dolls . a quiet life is natasha walter ' s first novel that is a beautiful work of fiction . the story is about laura leverett since the disappearance of her husband in 1951 , laura has been living in limbo with her daughter in geneva . people see her as a very charming young lady , but nobody guesses that secret she is carrying . laura is a wife , mother and spy . i find it fascinating to read what\na chronicle of the 1969 bombing at a major national bank in milan and its aftermath .\nwhen we compare ourselves to others , we set ourselves up to add \u201cmore\u201d into our life . more money , more cars , more houses , and more stuff . we fall victim to the old adage of \u201ckeeping up with the joneses\u201d which prevents us from living the life we really want to live .\nyou ' d expect this kind of witty dialogue in a woody allen film about condescending new york intellectuals . but ' a quiet passion ' , about 19th century american poet emily dickinson , is also full of it . clearly , she used her talent not only to write poetry , but also to engage in spirited conversation .\nwe live in a world where busyness is king . we\u2019re so busy glorifying how busy we are , we miss out on experiencing the moments that matter . and while we\u2019re so busy making a living , we forget to make life\u2014which is quite tragic .\nif you are acquainted with emily dickinson ' s work , this film gives an interesting insight into her life and her poetry . if you ' re not , this film is a great introduction to it .\na fantastic book - a spy story from the point of view of the significant other in a relationship full of secrets and silences . compelling .\nunder surveillance by the authorities and living in exile , she is reduced to squabbling with her mother over childcare and waiting for cocktail hour , and appears to be the emblem of female submissiveness . but before walter\u2019s tense prologue draws to a close , we become uneasily aware that laura has led a life of concealment and lies , and that it is far from over . she is in geneva waiting for her old life to die \u2013 and for a sign that the new one may begin .\nand though \u201ca quiet passion\u201d is small \u2014 modest in scope , inward rather than expansive , precise in word and gesture \u2014 it contains multitudes . it opens a window into an era whose political and moral legacies are still with us , and illuminates , with a practiced portraitist\u2019s sureness of touch , the mind of someone who lived completely in her time , knowing all the while that she would eventually escape it .\nwe think there is happiness to be had , joy to be experienced , and moments to be made . yes , there might be some truth to this , but who\u2019s to say the moments of solitude or quiet time won\u2019t measure up\u2014or even exceed those altogether ?\nspies , amirite ? it ' s all poison - tipped umbrellas and silly wigs ! er , well . . . a quiet life is a more subtle portrayal of mid - 20th - century spying , focusing on the psychological toll of secrecy and the everyday social manipulations that , i imagine , were the reality for most soviet spies in the west . it was these social manipulations that i loved most within the novel : the small changes in personality that protagonist and spy laura would use to exert information from people . haven ' t we all wondered ho\ni believe we all want to incorporate some level of minimalism into our life , and experience the freedom that joshua and ryan talk about . and it\u2019s important for us to know there isn\u2019t a \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d way to do it .\nthe kind of film davies excels at . he effectively demystifies dickinson ' s life ( having a truly magnificent cast helps ) while incorporating her poetry thematically . also , despite the film ' s clear obsession with death the screenplay has a lot more wit and humor than you ' d expect .\na man struggling under the crushing weight of debt must work as a tax collector to pay off his creditors .\nin the quiet forests near wiesbaden , germany , rosario ( servillo ) runs a restaurant -

1953 . laura is an american who comes to live in london and is recruited into communism . the book is fiction but is based loosely on the life of melinda marling , the wife of donald maclean and one of the cambridge spies . the plot is very good and engrossing . however , we never really get to understand laura or what makes her commit to communism . very well written and the period details and the way of life at that time are excellently portrayed . highly recommended .\nthis is an odd book . at first i found it rather flat with a very two - dimensional main protagonist - for example we are not given any insight into why she became attracted to communism in the first place - but as it went on , it developed into a picture of what living a double life does to your soul and to every relationship you make . even though we see the characters from the outside only , we can feel the tension at particularly tricky moments , and feel the edginess of the class barriers . it is a\nlaura\u2019s muted existence of evasion and dissimulation , in which she is fatally underestimated as a frivolous flirt by her husband\u2019s friends , was inspired by that of donald maclean\u2019s wife melinda marling , \u201cthe communist in the schiaparelli coat\u201d . walter\u2019s achievement is to bring espionage brilliantly into service as a metaphor for more routine secrets a woman has historically had to conceal , from menstruation to frustration , rage to alienation from the disfiguring role models we are offered . its indelible image \u2013 a woman whose calmly conformist femininity conceals shocking subversion \u2013 leaves us wondering about our own mothers and grandmothers , and what went on beneath the surface of their quiet lives . it also confirms walter as a writer who clearly appreciates the joys and purpose of fiction as distinct from polemic , and makes good use of both .\nwhat ' s the name o . . . : solved . adult fiction , spy novel . a young american woman visits relatives in england . on ship across the ocean she becomes friends with a communist . ends up meeting and falling in love with a man she learns is a spy . spoiler ahead . [ s ]\nthe plot is good but the story sometimes struggles at a slow pace . i personally would have liked a little more action and misadventure . the pace of the book becomes steady in the later part , even slightly picking up in the end . the author\u2019s narrations and descriptions easily bring to life the times of the early 20 th century england . the book does well to start with building the characters and the setting before the murder is introduced . the mystery quotient is maintained throughout though i will refrain myself from calling it a mystery / thriller in the strict sense . the climax too is satisfying and the book leaves the reader with a feeling of content on having read a decent read .\nto unravel the journey that has brought her heroine to this crossroads walter replays her life from the moment the young laura leverett leaves new york for london on the eve of the second world war . with her father an american reprobate and her mother of genteel english stock , she is already keenly aware of inhabiting the margins . the ocean liner taking her to her new life among strangers offers her the microcosm of a world in transit in which she may find her place . in prospect are physical desire for a raffish young journalist and its concomitant shame , and her uneasy longing for the glamour of first class , and the certainty of belonging . she also experiences the first stirrings of political awareness when she encounters a young communist , florence blake , on her way to right the world\u2019s wrongs in europe .\n\u2018a writer of game - changing skill and sensitivity . few novelists can combine serious feminism with romance and adventure and make it work \u2026 a literary page - turner\u2019 the times\nwelcome back . just a moment while we sign you in to your goodreads account .\ni found this novel to be a definite page - turner . the characters were interesting , the action engrossing . there were many things i liked about it : one , the author tells the story without judgment or taking sides ;

that is , in their ability to appreciate the sentimental meaning behind gift - giving that goes deeper than a gift ' s material worth .\na successful novelist falls in love with her married publisher , to the consternation of her boyfriend , who arranges for her to meet the publisher ' s wife .\njim and della are thinking about the present moment and the material possessions that give us pleasure . what they foolishly don ' t realize , however , is that they ' ve given each other a greater gift : their sacrificial love . the lesson they ultimately learn is that their love for each other is worth more than all of the material possessions money can buy . o . henry makes a somewhat humorous though a meaningful comparison between the magi in the bible and jim and della at the end of the story :\nfilmed on location in jordan and in east jerusalem , the video beautifully captures some of the symbolic sites in jordan , including the king hussein mosque in amman , the citadel , the holy baptism site , petra , and wadi rum ;

seeking behaviour - dropping his change in a shop , say . although he seems to be a man without much of a life , we soon learn that he was once rich in art and love . he loved a woman , alma , in poland , but because he took too long to get to america she married somebody else . he also wrote a great novel in poland , the history of love , but entrusted it to a friend who later told him that it was lost . so the holocaust allowed him to survive , but without the core of himself , and it seems that all we see is the husk of the man , withered and waiting for death .\nmarie osmond plays a rich girl being raised by her uncle and aunt ( june lockhart ) . her guardians encourage a courtship and possible marriage to a nice but boring guy ( james woods ) . osmond does not want to spend the rest of her life as pampered wife who does nothing but give society parties . she meets an immigrant , played by timothy bottoms , and they fall in love . however , her guardians disapprove of the match because osmond ' s late mother allegedly threw her life away by falling in love with a poor man . bottoms has his own problems -

even though she marries somebody else and has children he stays faithful to her - gives a rather fairytale feel to the whole novel . when the old alma is dying in manhattan he goes every day to sit at her bedside in the hospital after hours .\nshe was tiny and wrinkled and deaf as a doorknob . there was so much i should have said . and yet . i told her jokes .\nthis moment should carry a massive emotional punch , but it is so charming that it slips into a purely literary convention . krauss is undoubtedly an entertaining , humane and intelligent writer , but this novel is just too neat and too sweet for her talent to fly freely .\nover the past decade , we ' ve seen a recent phenomenon in film , where producers cast many big names in a clip film , that all comes together in the end . while this may work well with superheroes , it has yet to be successful in regards to comedy . that is why the film , love the coopers can be defined with one saying , too many cooks in the kitchen . this film features a large and impressive cast , and the previews looked terrific , but i assure you , ed helm ' s little girl calling him a dick , is just about the only truly funny moment in this film . the story here has a lot of different angles , and they do come together quite nicely , but this film is not what it was intended to be , as the last thing i would refer to it as is a hilarious holiday film . a lot of people are going to see this film because of it ' s cast , and from young timothee chalamet to veteran alan arkin , this cast is remarkable , however the story is not , in fact this whole film was fairly dull . i expect a lot from the cast , but even hollywood ' s best and brightest can ' t make a film work when the writing just isn ' t there . i love the concept and i really wanted to like this film , but in the end it ' s just a big disappointment .\n\u00a9 copyright 2003 -

the - top acting that make it a riot . it\u2019s a shame that the film doesn\u2019t thrill in an emotional level . i still had a hell of a fun time watching this film and i hope the second film carries that sheer thrill and maybe , a little emotional touch .\nexpectations : an energetic family friendly spy film that thrills and stirs similar to kick - ass and x - men : first class .\nfrom a premise stand point this film should have been so much better then what ended up onscreen . first off , there is little if any regard given to character development and back - story . this film is determined to flush any substance in favor of showcasing the spectacle . this film at its core is style of substance and then some . also if you are looking for anything that remotely resembles reality , you should look elsewhere . since there is not a single moment in the film that comes close to being rooted in reality .\nas for my reviews coming up , they will be just random ones that i\u2019ve seen , with some cinema releases and a whole pack of japanese film reviews coming soon , due to personal acquaintances . my first review will be released on monday and i hope the film is good enough for a good start . i will also have other plans like special articles about film in general and other fun stuff .\nit has been revealed that actress yang mi has arrived in france to help promote the film , which is her first kung fu debut .\nanother plus to this film is the actors . in films like this , all i ask is that the actors are genuine within the film\u2019s context and in this regard , the film succeeds . all the actors give life to their stereotypical roles and although not all of them are exceptionally likable , they add to the realism of the tale , since the story involves horrific bullying that these people may or may not have done .\nat present , some of the film ' s scenes are being shot on the mountain . later , the shooting location will transfer to shanghai .\nwu dang , a place where the treasure of martial arts tai chi originated . in early republican china , rumors were going around about the treasure in wudang mountain . an american conspirator took his well -

stuff hitting the fan occurs . the professor and tian xin are often caught in the act of trying to steal the treasures ( with their actions resulting in fast - paced fighting sequences ) . several fights are carried out as part of the tournament , while tang ning falls in love with the caring and compassionate commoner shui heyi . towards the end of the film , all sorts of hell slowly begin to break loose as a traitor amongst the wu dang ranks activates the mystical powers of the ten treasures to become a being of godlike power .\nas for glitches flaws , the film does have a reliance on jump scares , although not as much as previous horror films and the characters do sometimes resort on stupid decisions ( i . e the chatroulette scene ) . the characters are still horror stereotypes ( i . e the \u201cvirgin\u201d , the promiscuous one , the jock , the stoner , the saintly boyfriend ) and , to be honest , i wished the film ended five seconds earlier . when you see the film , you\u2019ll know .\nsimultaneously , a mysterious woman named tian xin likewise seeks to compete in the competition and also has ulterior motives for being there : she wishes to recover an ancient sword made of meteoric stone that once belonged to her ancestors . the final player in this tangled tale of intrigue is shui heyi , a common man who only wants to look after his ailing mother but is chosen by the grand taoist master of wu dang to compete in the tournament .\na 2012 wushu film directed by patrick leung about a pair of thieves using a martial arts competition to steal seven treasures from the legendary taoist temple at wudan mountain .\nthe article said \u201chighest grossing film\u201d not \u201chighest paid\u201d actress . well , of course , she would be considered \u201chighest grossing film\u201d actress since she\u2019s in 9 films . but the credits of most of the films didn\u2019t go to her since she was only cast as supporting so the article is somewhat misleading . a publicity stunt from her camp .\nco - production china - hong kong ; mei ah films production co . ltd / mei ah media ( beijing ) / xiao xiang film group / china zhong dian media\nkeep your comments focused on the film . don ' t post randomness / off - topic comments . jokes are fine , but don ' t post tactless / inappropriate ones .\nas you may have guessed , this is my first post , and i am so happy to finally start my own blog of film reviews . for as long as i remember , i\u2019ve always loved film . from my first memories ( vivid , anyway ) of watching films when i was 9 years old to exploring fantastic directorial work from spielberg , miyazaki and discovering foreign films from hong kong ( stephen chow fanatic ) , japan ( my first live - action film i watched was hana and alice ) , korea and others .\nunfortunately , the filmmakers feel like they\u2019re on autopilot for what should have been a spirited journey . since the audience is kept in the dark about vincent zhao\u2019s motivations for most of the movie , his character comes across as more of a grave robber than a hero we can actually root for . the plot is built around the mystery of the wu dang temple\u2019s artifacts , but when the characters aren\u2019t fighting over them the movie\u2019s runtime is devoted to two playful romances with ridiculous age gaps .\nthe guy ' s film career is finished . he had the biggest opportunity ( working with donnie yen ) in his whole career in he blew it . oh well . . .\npromotional posters featuring two of the lead actors \u0096 kung fu star man cheuk chiu , and yang mi \u0096 were released today to build momentum for the film ' s release at cannes .\nscore : 9 / 10 ( director matthew vaughn gives the spy genre a real shot of adrenaline , creating a roller - coaster of an action film that is sure to thrill . )\nyang mi is no newcomer . she was a child star and had a role in a stephen chow film at age 4 . her fan base is huge which drives her popularity and exposure .\nupdate : some very brightly colored promotional posters over at chinese films . actress yang mi has actually arrived in france to help promote the film at cannes since this is her first martial arts role .\nthe film is set in china , early 20th century , following an american who brings his well - trained kung - fu daughter to compete at the martial arts tournament in wudang mountain . in order to find the treasure of this place . starring vincent zhao , recently seen in true legend . the film seems to really want to focus on the martial arts spirit & the ying / yang philosophy .\nthe fighting style in this film is uniquely chinese for its expression of so much more than anger or competition . like dance , the fight choreography expresses romance and love as well as respect and hierarchy .\nfortunately , the action thrills and excites , with every character having their memorable moment and that may be worth the price of admission . i also liked the fact that the avengers actually avenged ( the first film doesn\u2019t count ) . it may seem that i am coming down a bit hard on the film , but considering the films that came before it , the sequel should have been a lot better .\nvincent zhao , who recently made headlines by dropping out of donnie yen\u2019s action movie \u201cspecial identity , \u201d stars in the lead role of a studied professor and treasure hunter . his latest adventure sends him to a combat tournament in the middle of the wu dang mountains . in a display of questionable parenting skills , zhao tows his plucky daughter , portrayed by xu jiao ( who played a boy in stephen chow\u2019s \u201c cj7 \u201c ) , along for the ride while he contends with a rival hunter in the form of pop music and tv sensation yang mi .\nyang , who wore a costume by oscar - winning japanese designer emi wada , said she would play a role of a young woman from an exotic land with high - level martial arts in the film .\nfortunately , the film is foreboding in its atmosphere and with the clever storytelling , the director\u2019s realistic approach and the game actors , unfriended is a surprisingly above - average entry in the found - footage genre .\nthere\u2019s nothing particularly awful about the fighting in \u201cwu dang\u201d ; then again there\u2019s nothing particularly inspired about it either . the actors are clearly assisted by wires and stand - ins \u2013 but what\u2019s worse is that the editing is simply too fast to really appreciate the moves onscreen . the action here seems designed around what the actors could or couldn\u2019t do , rather than in the interest of choreographing some truly show - stopping fights . it\u2019s a bit of a shame when we know actors like vincent zhao and louis fan still have the moves even though they\u2019re nearing middle - age .\nthe young actress came to prominence after starring in the 2011 time - traveling drama palace < \u5bab > . she subsequently scored a leading role in the 2011 horror film , mysterious island < \u5b64\u5c9b\u60ca\u9b42 > , which raked in 90 million rmb in the mainland chinese box office despite is meager critical ratings . nonetheless , her eye - catching performance in mysterious island drew the interest of many famous chinese and hong kong film producers .\nreports are now out indicating that 2012\u2019s highest grossing film actress in china is not zhou xun ( \u5468\u8fc5 ) or zhao wei ( \u8d75\u8587 ) , but the 26 - year - old yang mi ( \u6768\u5e42 ) .\na final , and generally more impressive , trailer is now online . this trailer puts more emphasis on the film\u2019s slick production values and corey yuen\u2019s action choreography . now this looks like something we\u2019d actually want to see !\nsimple and sensitive electrochemical method for the determination of metronidazole , based on a nanostructured film coated glassy carbon electrode ( gce ) , is described . multi - walled carbon nanotubes ( mwnt ) was dispersed into water in the presence of a hydrophobic surfactant to give very stable and homogeneous mwnt suspension , and a mwnt - film coated gce was achieved via evaporating solvent . metronidazole yields a well - defined reduction peak whose potential is - 0 . 71v at the mwnt - film coated gce in ph 9 . 0 britton - robinson buffer . compared with bare gce , the mwnt - film modified gce significantly enhances the reduction peak current of metronidazole . all the experimental parameters were optimized for the determination of metronidazole . the detection limit is 6x10 ( - 9 ) mol / l at 2min accumulation . this method has been successfully used to determine metronidazole in the drugs . furthermore , results obtained by the proposed method have been compared with spectrophotometric method .\nencompassing all genres and succeeding them with aplomb , the princess bride will remain one of my favorite films and the film that got me into the world . another film that got to me was \u201cthe karate kid\u201d . a true underdog story that got me wanting to imitate larusso with his crane kicks at people , and injuring myself a lot in the process . it taught me that life really is all about balance and that we should all stand up for ourselves against adversity .\nother areas in which this film is often lacking include its cheaply realized cgi that often calls attention to itself . and its inconsistent action set pieces which range from good to average , with the bulk of them falling into the latter category .\nkung fu and fantasy can work hand in hand quite well . mixed with wire fu it can create glorious looking film with an artistic style that conveys a message and delivers some meaning . but really , i just wanna see some cool fights !\nspeaking of genuine threats , the horror tone rarely permeates to the characters , as they all act in the iconic over - the - top fashion that hearkens back to godzilla films of old . apparently that irked a lot of the viewers , but it sometimes makes perfect sense within the film , especially when the scouting regiment fights back against the titans . most of the group are not soldiers and they are clearly not capable of combat so when they do , they are scared out of their wits and behave in irrational ways . sometimes , the characters are appropriately cynical like eren , claiming , at one point , \u201cparadise seems like a prison if one sees its walls . \u201d , adding to the nightmarish film . the meshing of the tone and the characters it makes the film bizarrely entertaining , filled with unexpected surprises ( like the development of mikasa ) and unintentional laugh - out - loud moments ( eren\u2019s standoff against the titans ) but it makes the film schizophrenic , creating emotional whiplash .\nyangtze river daily ( \u957f\u6c5f\u65e5\u62a5 ) reporter wan xuming ( \u4e07\u65ed\u660e ) wrote ,\nbased on the immense response at the auditions held in hengdian world studios , the audience probably regard this film as one that showcases the grandeur of the wudang mountains .\nyang mi has appeared in a total of nine blockbuster films this year , including the highly successful painted skin : the resurrection < \u753b\u76aeii > , which earned 702 million rmb at the box office , the second highest - grossing chinese film in history .\nbut i\u2019m with you on the rating . i liked it more than some of the comments i read on kungfucinema , i could finish the film no problem , i had issues of course and i still feel overly disappointed with the majority of mainland releases .\nthe film revolves around six teenagers blair , mitch , jess , ken , val and adam who are skyping over for a group chat as they plan to go to a concert . but during the chat , a mysterious user joins in , annoying the group . assuming that it is a technical glitch , they ignore it until it supposedly reveals itself to be laura barns , a former classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago . as the group try to get rid of her , the user exposes all of their dirty secrets and lies . i admit , i was surprised at how much i enjoyed this film , especially when i watched it in the cinema . the film is surprisingly immersive despite the fact that it is set on a computer screen for 80 minutes .\nsounds pretty appealing on paper , full of adventure and high - stakes through wu dang mountain in fictionalized ' 20s china . up in the range ' s peaks , a tournament has been orchestrated to promote taoist martial arts among children , bringing together combatants from all across china for a celebratory exhibition . conveniently , a history professor ( vincent zhao ) discovers a map of sorts to several valuable relics among the mountain ' s peaks , so he brings his ailing martial - arts prot\u00e9g\u00e9 daughter to partake in the events while he searches . he ' s not without competition , though : a rival female warrior ( yang mi ) , who had to fight tooth - and - nail through unsavory means to get to\na story like this would be really dark and almost downright depressing to go through , but both director levan gabriadze and writer nelson greaves litter the film with nice dark humour like well - timed uses of songs or pop - up ads . one song in particular had me laughing mainly because of the timing it was used . the film does not fall into the trap of overusing blood and gore , with some kills that pack a punch and are cleverly foreshadowed . the scares that do work effectively come from the well - worn trope that is the power of suggestion . like the film jaws , the reasons for its effective scares is that you don\u2019t see what the fearful characters see and it is through the power of suggestion ( i . e our minds ) that make the scares work .\nwhen i first heard that matthew vaughn passed on directing x - men : days of future past for this , i was very skeptical , assuming that this would be a family friendly film . and seeing the first trailer didn\u2019t sway my expectations . but my expectations were knocked out . this film is as r - rated as it gets . even more provocative than kick - ass . yet vaughn has grown more experienced over the years and he finally gets the consistency right . unlike kick - ass , we can revel in the comical violence of kingsman but we can get swept up by the drama of the stakes without jarring us out of the movie . also unlike kick - ass , vaughn also gets the balance between parody and homage right , without becoming a film that it is legitimately spoofing .\nreview : when i first heard of this film in development , i was pumped , despite the lack of mel gibson . tom hardy was cast as max ? i was sold . charlize theron was cast , i was sold . george miller came back to continue the franchise , double sold . but what made me hesitant , even recently before i wrote this review , was that continuations of dormant franchises have been very mixed , mostly disappointing . movies like terminator genisys and jurassic world were incredibly reliant on people\u2019s nostalgia of the franchises that it comes off as lazy and derivative , and i was scared that mad max : fury road would come off as the same way . another fear i had was that i was scared that this film would be more of an advertisement to future films , instead of an actual film itself , like iron man 2 and the amazing spider - man 2 . well , guys , i was wrong . mad max : fury road is one of the loveliest action films this year . fuck it , probably the loveliest action film this decade .\nas for flaws , and there are few , is that there is some obvious green screen in the climax and the character of immortan joe could be more developed as a character . but overall , i\u2019ve never been more satisfied watching an action film this year . go see it .\nin terms of the story , i was neither blown away nor disappointed . while i felt that the sudden supernatural elements towards the end of the film felt like they somewhat came out of nowhere , and while nothing out of the storyline is particularly mind - blowing or amazing , i enjoyed following the plot of this film . the acting was solid , and the use of following the narrative from the different perspectives of the three different characters was a nice plot device that helped add some much appreciated creativity to what otherwise would have been an average - at - best storyline .\non their way to the gan residence to use the invincible sword to destroy the phoenix lute , gui wu suggests they cut through the woods , doing so they run right into an ambush by the flying tiger clan intent on robbing whomever would pass that area of the woods . the yin yang swordsmen are highly skilled but the flying tiger clan is present in great numbers . seeing the men surround his wife ,\nis not as popular as other shaw brothers films of this period and while i have read other reviews of this movie there is not a lot of information on the making of the film and the audience\u2019s reception of it . so we will just dig in and experience it for ourselves , in other words \u2013 let\u2019s get busy !\nthat man in chang - an ( 1967 ) has no fight choreographer credited . i counted eight ( 8 ) fight scenes scattered throughout the movie . for the most part they are short scenes with the exception of the four - minute finale . these fight scenes are basically by the numbers \u201cone , two , three \u2013 kill\u201d sword fights , rarely ( there are exceptions , mostly during the finale . ) more that two attackers at a time no matter how many soldiers enter the scene . there is also some last minute under cranking during the finally that just adds to the humor of the entire film , believe me , you do not watch this film for the fights .\ni see what you\u2019re saying about corey . the only thing is \u2013 i remember \u201cso close\u201d having some of his best fight choreography and action of the past 12 years . and shu qi and zhao wei aren\u2019t exactly trained martial artists . i wonder if it\u2019s just my rosy memory of that movie , though . how would you rate that film in terms of corey yuen\u2019s work ?\nunfortunately , there was one rather annoying flaw throughout this film that really detracted from the overall experience . instead of being displayed in the lower black \u201cletter - boxed\u201d portion of the screen , the subtitles used a yellow font and were displayed in front of the footage . this was a very poor choice as half of the text was unreadable as it became indistinguishable against the similar colors of the footage .\nas much as i wanted to like this film , i just couldn ' t stand the slow - mo aerial ballet they try to pass off for kung fu nowadays . i really hate this new trend of emphasizing camera tricks and special effects over good old fashioned choreography . i love older kung fu movies from hong kong but nowadays , it seems the best martial arts movies are coming out of thailand .\nthis is one of those old classic gems , like dragon gate inn . it is dubbed in english , but reasonably well - done . the film quality is is grainy and mediocre , the color washed out , the editing choppy ; but that doesn ' t matter . the fight choreography is quite good , most of the actors seem to have genuine wushu skills and athletic capabilities - there is no wirework or fancy camera tricks here to substitute for real abilities . the fights are more gritty and realistic than most of this genre . the wushu is not flowery , the fights are not exaggerated push - hands exercises ; this is a more honest rendering of martial skills . quan lin is not just a pretty face - she appears to be practiced in her martial skills and as the star of the film she sets the bar for the others to meet . for all its imperfections , this movie always leaves me inspired .\n! thankfully , the excellent choreography combined with the high levels of martial arts skills of the combatants made every fight scene a pure joy to watch . initially a put off to me , this is one of those \u201cwire - fu\u201d movies where cables are used a lot , sometimes in a very over - the - top fashion . i eventually warmed up to the slightly unbelievable gravity of the film , and was glued to the screen every time there was a punch or kick taking place .\nfootage that features interviews and scene - anatomy glimpses . director patrick leung and the producers / actors / crew offer their input , discussing the movie ' s elaborate action style and how corey yuen ' s perspective impacted it , the characters and the actors portraying them , and the complexity of film shoots . don ' t let the beginning of the piece fool you , though : the behind - the - scenes material gets pretty engaging , while emotional post - modern rock music drives it along .\nchan chi - kit ( wu jing ) is a drug - addicted undercover cop who is sent to prison due to his job working under a human trafficking ring run by hung man - kong ( louis koo ) , which he and his uncle chan kwok - wah ( simon yam ) are investigating . as wah is trying to save kit , kong is trying to kidnap his brother because he has something valuable that he wants . alongside this story is chatchai ( tony jaa ) a security guard at the prison kit goes to . he has a terminally ill daughter , who needs a bone marrow transplant and has a rare bombay phenotype , which means that only one in a million people can be her donor . coincidentally , one of those people is kit and chatchai cannot contact kit yet chatchai sees him everyday in prison .\n, 1966 , the magnificent trio ( 1966 ) reunites the cast and crew of tiger boy ( 1964 ) . tiger boy was \u201can experiment\u201d sir run run shaw permitted chang cheh to engage in to produce a new genre in films provided mr . cheh kept expenses low . to that end mr . cheh used all new actors in the starring roles , used no martial arts action directors and filmed the movie in black and white . chang cheh also wrote and directed the film that was not released until sir run run shaw was convinced that the new genre was indeed a success . tiger boy was given a limited release february 16\nlike a lot of viewers , especially children , we were the very the audience surrogate of fred savage\u2019s character in the film . pessimistic , quick - to - judge , plain cynical . but when we opened our minds , we were rewarded with riches upon riches . i was fist pumping when i saw the first sword fight between westley and montoya . i was laughing my head off whenever fezzik started to rhyme . i thought buttercup was incredibly beautiful ( and she still is ) and i thought the climax was perfect , although my friends thought otherwise . why fight people when you don\u2019t have to ? a razor sharp wit should more than suffice .\nas for the action scenes , they are well - shot and well - conceived ( the church scene mentioned above is a highlight ) , but they sometimes suffer from a digital sheen that is quite distracting , particularly in the final fight between eggsy and gazelle . but what gives the action scenes their oomph is the use of music . much like kick - ass , vaughn uses music to spectacular effect , with a great musical score by henry jackman ( who also scored kick - ass and x - men : first class ) especially with the use of \u201cfreebird\u201d by lynrd skynyrd and \u201cgive it up\u201d by kc and the sunshine band . they give the film a great sense of fun and an amusing off - kilter edge that makes the delicate balance between parody and homage stand out .\nunfortunately the first movie ever directed by chang cheh : tiger boy ( 1964 ) is out of print and unavailable so i may never see , let alone review this movie in my lifetime . this review of the second movie ever directed by chang cheh , the magnificent trio ( 1966 ) demonstrates the how skilled mr . cheh was at characterization . since it is an adaptation and not an original script i am not comfortable giving an opinion on his writing skills based on this movie but history speaks volumes about mr . cheh\u2019s writing talent so there is no need for me to add my silly two cents on the matter . i can say that i was thoroughly entertained by all aspects of the film and so i can recommend it wholeheartedly to collectors and casual viewers alike . see you next time !\nwith a sumptuous environment that ' s ideal for mythical cinematography and engaging production design , an area where the film legitimately excels . weatherworn structures wedged into the forested mountainside enhance that vast - removed essence of the taoist monastery , where rich blue - green stone and thriving vegetation create a sense of age and protected seclusion to the adventure that transpires . tattered garments for the meager monks and bold , rich costumes for the heroes and villains often engage the eyes as they weave through the monastery and navigate the mountain ' s roads ad caverns by night ( there ' s an absolutely stunning shot of mini yang ' s face covered by a silken cowl ) . these are the components for a more ample , polished legend than the one patrick leung delivers , rendering the shots as hollow images that make one yearn for more substance .\nas for the new characters in the supporting cast , katey segal ( from \u201cmarried with children\u201d\u2026damn i\u2019m old ) is underused as emily\u2019s mum , but keegan - michael key ( of key and peele ) steals all the scenes he\u2019s in as beca\u2019s boss and the supposed villains played by birgitte hjort s\u00f8rensen ( from borgen , a great show ) and flula borg ( a youtube star ) are great , particularly when anna kendrick confronts the two and loses herself . even a cameo from snoop dogg was hilarious to witness , particularly on what he\u2019s actually singing and how enthusiastically he sings it . elizabeth banks\u2019 direction isn\u2019t as smooth as jason moore\u2019s in the first film as her directions towards actors are inconsistent ( anna camp\u2019s performance , while amusing , is more over - the - top than usual ) , but some scenes are really funny , like a scene where all the bellas are in a tent ."]}

southern province is the main star attraction , with geetha kumarasinghe , anarkali akarsha and nadeesha hemamali all joining the fray in their endeavour to \u201cserve the people\u201d\nbut alas , gayesha\u2019s winged hopes may fall flat , ginger may have her gallop called to a halt and ruwanthi may have to disappoint duminda silva even before the hustings if the story that the upfa nomination\u2019s board had rejected their applications is confirmed . but since the official decision is to be announced only on 6th of february , they scoff the reports as being pure conjecture ,

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

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

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

ministry of defense , said mr . hulugalla , adding that legal action will be taken against those involved in making the film .\nthe distribution and screening of the film has been stopped in sri lanka , he told reporters .\nthe film directed by sri lankan filmmaker sanjeewa pushpakumara had its world premiere in 2011 . the film weaves together three narratives set against the backdrop of the civil war that ended in 2009 when the government forces crushed the tamil tiger rebels , who were fighting for a separate state for ethnic minority tamils . the quarter - century - long civil war killed an estimated 80 , 000 to 100 , 000 people .\nboth the tamil tigers and government forces have been accused of war crimes during the fighting . a u . n . investigation showed that the ethnic sinhalese - dominated government might have killed as many as 40 , 000 tamil civilians in the war\u2019s final months .\nthe government denied that any civilian deaths occurred , but said it would investigate instances of alleged abuses identified by its own war inquiry . a sri lankan commission report , released in december 2011 , cleared the government forces of wrongdoing .\nthe government argues that its own investigation should suffice , but international pressure has been growing for an independent investigation into possible war crimes .\nin march , the u . n . human rights council approved a u

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

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

neglected since age six - and deals with girl friend marlene . herbert is lucky with great home assistant steffen , even gets to cheer protege eddy to his title as last sportive achievement .\nresponsible for producing some of the uk\u2019s most celebrated film and television , mark\u2019s work has found success internationally and has inspired the confidence of highly creative directors working at the cutting edge of film . in 2002 mark produced chris morris\u2019 bafta - winning short film my wrongs # 8245 - 8249 & 117 for warp films . he followed this with his , and warp films , debut feature dead man\u2019s shoes , directed by shane meadows . it was nominated for a record eight british independent film awards and won the hitchcock d\u2019or at the dinard festival .\nthough not to suggest that a great film adaption is impossible , herbert\u2019s novel was and continues to be powerful because of what it shows through the imagination of the author and the relevance it bears to the reader . no amount of filmmaking technology or budgetary expenditures will ever be able to provide dune with the kind of scope and magnitude of its story , or at least not without sacrificing some crucial part . that\u2019s the thing with book , too . herbert\u2019s carefully constructed ecology of people , plants , animals , politics , cultures , and belief systems is not unlike any ecological system where even the smallest change eventually becomes a vast deviation from the norm .\ncharlatan or clown ? innocent or insidious ? terrorist or trickster ? there are indeed many ways of describing herbert sarkar - - a forty year old crank who thinks that he can talk to the dead . herbert grew up in north kolkata , feeding on the charity of relatives , and being the butt of local jokes . he declares one day that he has received a message in a dream that has told him where his long dead cousin binus diary is hidden . people are surprised and amused . but when this prediction proves to be true , herbert becomes a local sensation . he sets up a roaring business called\ndialogues with the dead\nfor three years and for the first time in his life , earns money and the respect of others . however , his luck runs out when the international rationalist society declares him a fraud and threatens to turn him over to the law unless he closes shop . this deeply affects herbert and he commits suicide that very night . however , his celebrity power increases to unprecedented levels the day after his . . .\noverstating the doomed from the outset nadir of lynch\u2019s film is like second nature to the sci - fi hive mind , with whole blogs dedicated to the cause of beating the film equivalent of a dead horse . what\u2019s rarely mentioned\u2014at least without a snort and obscure reference to the fremen doctrine of not giving a fuck about anything but water\u2014is that lynch\u2019s dune is a de facto illustration of what can go horribly awry when desperation is the driving point for making a film , even more so when that film is based on one of the most cherished books of the century .\nhis father was a drunk and his mother a seamstress . herbert maximised his talents to reinvent himself as the british stephen king . despite his achievements it still rankles with him that \u2013 unlike his american rival \u2013 only four of his books have been made into films .\nwhen his father died 16 years ago aged 86 , herbert scattered his ashes in his garden at the foot of a plum tree . \u201che loved a drink so i took a bottle of really good single malt \u2013 a present from uri geller \u2013 and two tumblers .\nit is also undeniable that the passion of the cast and the characters created by meadows is second to none . the director told film 4 :\nthis feature documentary is a portrait of herbert norman , the canadian ambassador to egypt who leapt to his death in 1957 . during his remarkable career , norman had been a trusted aide of general macarthur in post - war japan and later played a key role in the suez crisis . but for years , a us senate subcommittee probed his past while the fbi accumulated a huge file on him , refusing to accept an rcmp investigation that cleared him of being a communist spy . interviews with key players and dramatizations help reconstruct herbert norman ' s life .\nthe agnsw remains the only venue , limited as its selections were , where something resembling cinematheque activity occurs in sydney . it can only be hoped that robert herbert has left a legacy of quality presentation , interesting programming and rigourous screening conditions that will be continued in the future .\navant - garde , experimental and largely dialogue - free spanish documentary shot during the making of jess franco ' s count dracula , starring christopher lee . the unique look of the film , similar to that of early expressionist horror films , is down to the high contrast black & white film stock used .\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\nmeadows often prefers to work with undiscovered and amateur actors , and for most of the cast in the film this was their first experience of professional acting .\nbased on bram stoker ' s bestseller , the film follows count dracula as an old man who grows younger by feeding on the blood of young maidens .\neditor ' s note : veteran cinephile barrie pattison has sent in over 150 reviews for the delectation of film alert readers . he is an invet . . .\nand now for something completely different . \u201cherbert , \u201d a mad , messy and frequently amazing epic from india , features many of the qualities you expect from bollywood : garish verve , dizzy excess , punishing duration , wild leaps in narrative tone and structure . but that\u2019s the simple part . .\nfor ardent fans of herbert\u2019s book , the suggestion that paul was a supernatural being able to bless the planet and the fremen with these strange sky tears , was an intolerable and unnecessary addition by way of omission from lynch . the primary issue with the film\u2019s interpretation of paul\u2019s character is that it overstates the heroism to imply the helplessness of the fremen , a point fiercely contrasted by how completely self - sufficient and self - sustaining the arrakeen indigenous culture had been for generations .\nfor as long as i\u2019ve been in sydney robert was the face and the engine of the agnsw screening program and for that program to be done robert was required to be all things . the gallery theatre has not moved into the 21 st century and its film program was entirely reliant on 16mm and 35mm film . robert\u2019s sources at the various cultural institutions ( the nfsa , the cultural departments of the major european governments chief among many ) supplied him with film for an extensive near weekly program .\nherbert ' s book offered a meticulously detailed saga of a dark future where royal houses war for control of the desert planet arrakis and its precious resource , the spice melange . fitting all of that tale into movie length proved comically impossible for jodorowsky . lynch\u2019s film palpably suffers from numerous cuts and recuts to the final edit , which clocks in at two hours and 17 minutes . so instead of showing not telling the story , the movie relies on a flurry of voiceover and breathy exposition . like this :\nto be fair , that distorted view of paul by lynch or one of the umpteen screenwriters who had beaten the script out of the novel was far more marketable than herbert\u2019s . he rendered an entire culture who planned to reset the ecology of a desolate , waterless planet by essentially creating a terrarium environment over thousands of years with hidden , underground water reservoirs . never mind the fact that a messianic monsoon would turn their millenniums - long plan into a shitshow : the fremen looked better on film as a sort of primitive culture in need of a savior .\narriving in the middle of what was arguably the most politically and socially divisive time in american history , dune could have very easily been herbert\u2019s attempt to capitalize on that civil unrest with a ham - fisted allegory of the haves versus the have - nots or the always reliable overstated literary exercise in self - righteous grandstanding . instead , herbert\u2019s novel manages to touch on those issues with a subtlety and depth that still reads as a relevant cautionary tale for today\u2019s socio - cultural , political , and environmental issues . the problem , as it relates to translating those concepts into a visual experience , is not unlike the same kind of roadblock that filmmakers had for years in attempts to bring those lord of the rings stories to the screen .\nthe film ' s production is masterful in itself , and it syncs with the themes of the original storyverse . set 10 , 000 years in the future , everything looks appropriately streamlined . yet plenty of baroque flourishes ( the emperor\u2019s court in the opening scenes looks like a relic of imperial russia ) remain , as if to illustrate , as herbert does in his novel , that even as we evolve , certain elements of our existence will remain constant . jodorowsky ' s new - age , bright and groovy acid - trip take seemed to miss this point .\nthe anti - heroism and self - reliance of the fremen people is one of dune \u2019s most powerful components because it places less importance on the superstitious reductions of fanaticism and on the logical practicality of autonomy . yes , paul is the kwisatz haderach , and sure , the scene with his little scary - as - hell demon - voiced sister declaring him as such is a nice if not overcooked exclamation point to a cinematic run - on sentence . but the elevation of herbert\u2019s completely human paul to lynch\u2019s perfectly conceived and untouchable superman detracts from the story\u2019s overall and most compelling idea that the only perfection is found in nature and environment . for herbert , survival and enlightenment are the closest to perfection the rest of us can ever hope for .\ntherein lies the beginning of what runs the film aground when compared to the book . the book wastes no time in revealing that paul is the assumed messianic figure , otherwise known as the kwisatz haderach , for the fremen people of arrakis ( dune ) . the film does this as well , and at least in that regard , both film and book run parallel . the synchronicity takes a swan dive , though , once paul\u2019s training , self - awareness , and general sense of being \u201cthe chosen one\u201d become a platform for what\u2019s little more than magic or sorcery , \u00e0 la the force .\nthe dance of reality , so unlike tusk , is a marvellous film . the late film critic roger ebert called it a work of \u201cwild imagination , \u201d filled with \u201cawesome things . \u201d the second part in the series , endless poetry ( 2016 ) , which is slated for a general release this year , has been hailed by variety ( who panned tusk many moons ago ) as possibly jodorowsky\u2019s best .\nat the beginning of tie 88 meadows gifted every cast member a sony bloggie \u2013 a tiny camera the size of a mobile phone that shoots in hd \u2013 so that they could film behind the scenes footage .\n\u201che made it up as he went along , \u201d sathyu said of jodorowsky\u2019s style of directing , and pasha agreed , \u201cwe didn\u2019t know what was supposed to happen . \u201d compare the screenplay with the film and it quickly becomes apparent how far the final product strayed from its plan . in the screenplay , john morrison\u2019s wife does not die in childbirth but is a prominent character for the first part of the film . by the end , elise and cairns marry and have a daughter ( whom they also name elise ) . and throughout , there is only one sadhu , who appears in just a handful of scenes . of course , modifying a script on location is not unusual for any film production . but the extent to which tusk drifts from what was envisioned of it testifies to how thoroughly unprepared jodorowsky was to make a film in india .\none of the most divisive of lynch\u2019s modifications in the film is his treatment of the weirding way , a telepathic form of combat developed by the bene gesserit school of witchcraft and wizardry . in the book , herbert goes to great lengths to describe the fighting method , which is dependent upon the psychokinetic makeup of the mind and consciousness . not satisfied with such a primitive concept , lynch or who the hell knows , really , decided to replace mind - to - mind combat with\u2014wait for it\u2014laser pistols . laser pistols that use sound as their lasers . so instead of \u201czap ! zap ! \u201d it\u2019s \u201caaaaaa - cha\u201d .\nedmund goulding ' s version deserves crdit for trying to adapt maugham ' s difficult existential movel , but tyrone power is miscast and the film is too melodramatic and verbose , failing to illustrate the novel ' s essence .\nin 2006 he received the dunhill award at the london film festival and was mentioned by the observer as one of the courvoisier future 500 . mark was also nominated by variety magazine as one of 10 producers to watch .\nneagle portraying another great lady , this time odette churchill , the french wife of an englishman , who spied for the french resistance during world war ii , was captured and tortured by the nazis , but survived to be awarded the george cross . neagle acquits herself reasonably well , but the whole film is bogged down by a surfeit of respect and patriotism . the kind of film in which you know in advance exactly what will happen next .\nwith dune , focusing on a few of the most striking differences between film and book would have to begin with what\u2019s arguably the film\u2019s most significant omission . in the novel , paul atreides , the 15 - year - old son and heir to duke leto atreides , is a precocious , albeit emotionally na\u00efve character . paul\u2019s mother is lady jessica , a student of the bene gesserit sisterhood , an exclusively female school for training its students in the highest levels of physical and mental powers . she\u2019s also the concubine , but not wife , of the duke , a decision he expresses throughout both book and film ( he is portrayed outstandingly in the movie by actor j\u00fcrgen prochnow ) .\nrather than use india just as a backdrop , jodorowsky wanted to make a film about the country\u2019s culture . but in making india his muse , he succumbed to ideas of indian culture that were romanticised and also misconceived . the story of tusk \u2019s making\u2014which i put together over the last few months through interviews with many members of the film\u2019s crew\u2014traces jodorowsky\u2019s strangely desperate struggle to hold on to those ideas , in the face of india\u2019s incongruent , chaotic realities .\nentries may be submitted in the form of a short film ( 2 -

profit partner .\nkitty herbert died 10 years ago aged 93 , 18 years after divorcing her husband at last . her ashes sit on a shelf next to those of his favourite dog . \u201ci\u2019ll scatter my mother\u2019s ashes in the garden one day . not near the old man , though . as for me , i don\u2019t worry so much about death as the manner of death . i just don\u2019t want to be there when it happens . \u201d\nafter all that , it probably doesn ' t sound like there ' s anything worthwhile in lynch ' s film . that ' s far from the truth . it\u2019s certainly a different kind of sci fi than star wars , which was created to comfort and entertain . dune wanted to challenge , and though its stumbling attempts to pontificate on religion and ecology may have been its downfall , those attempts also produced some of the film ' s most resonant moments .\nthe most groan - inducing example of the gaffe comes at the film\u2019s end , when it\u2019s revealed that in addition to his skills at making modules and tamin\u2019 sand serpents , paul can also bring the rain . literally . lynch\u2019s film , which by that time was a smoldering pile of \u201cwhat the hell just happened , \u201d concludes with a robed paul looking upward just as rain begins to pour on the up until then un - rained - upon arrakis . for unwitting filmgoers who\u2019d not read the book and powered through to the bitter end , the film\u2019s denouement seems like a perfectly bizarre conclusion to what had been a two - hour backward time warp into the most incomprehensible levels of bizarre .\nwhen asked why tusk was shot in india when campbell\u2019s story is set in siam ( a perfectly suitable location ) , sathyu shrugged , as if stating the obvious . \u201cthey wanted to make a film here , \u201d he said .\ncalcutta based screenwriter amitabha roy is traveling to hashimara in north bengal partly to visit his brother -

so exciting life , starts shooting a documentary film on love . his exploration leads him to . . . see full summary \u00bb\nalthough an awkward francophone fetishisation of india , tusk bears some markings of a trademark jodorowsky film . fantasy , mysticism and anti - colonial protest were familiar territory for jodorowsky , but tusk , from its very conception , was destined to fail . while on the one hand tusk was marketed as a children\u2019s film , it was also labelled in its opening credits as \u201ca panic fable , \u201d a reference to the panic movement , of which jodorowsky was a founding member .\nherbert smith freehills engages with various indian law schools , across several fronts . as a firm , we are also keen on contributing to the social space in india . we believe that volunteering helps to develop well - rounded individuals and helps law students develop the ability to communicate and work with a diverse range of people . this benefits the students ' communities and also helps us identify the types of high calibre candidates we aim to recruit .\nthat\u2019s not to say that lynch failed at bringing to life herbert\u2019s brilliantly imagined world and its still relevant environmental cautionary tale . looking at what the director was in fact able to do with the little he had to work with , the film becomes less a travesty against the sanctity of laser pistol cinema art and more another example in what can go so horribly wrong it\u2019s almost right with movie adaptations of books . it just so happens that this book in particular happened to be densely packed with entire civilizations , religions , mathematics , philosophies , mystery worms , and the entirely imagined ecological makeup of a planet , its inhabitants , and the inhabiting collective consciousness of those inhabitants .\nundoubtedly a play off of luke skywalker and the rhetorically challenged prophetic revelations of yoda , the character of paul had to be a familiar sell to audiences . kyle maclachlan plays the part incredibly well , despite being much older than the character , but the safety of keeping him close to an already well - established character for moviegoers ended up being a large part of the film\u2019s undoing . had lynch or any one of the glut of directors attached over the years given the time and freedom necessary to do the story justice , it\u2019s safe to assume that paul\u2019s character , the central point of the book and trilogy , would have been given the necessary depth that herbert intended .\nbefore becoming a novelist herbert was art director of a london ad agency . \u201cbut by the age of 28 i thought i\u2019d done it all in advertising so i started writing the rats at weekends . it took me eight or nine months to finish . still , i carried on doing both jobs , working seven - day weeks for five years . but i was killing myself . i never saw my children . something had to give . \u201d\nanother key difference between book and film is the larger role given to the collective known as the spacing guild . though significant characters , the spacing guild\u2019s presence in the first of herbert\u2019s dune series is just this side of nien nunb ( or catfish co - pilot ) from return of the jedi . lynch\u2019s decision to not only include them but to visually construct them in the most lynchian - level disgusting of ways is an interesting if not slightly jarring digression . resembling the love child of a t - rex , sloth from the goonies , and a tube of meat , the guild navigators are absolutely hideous but also weirdly mesmerizing\u2014a dynamic that has worked in the director\u2019s favor for years .\nan okay adaptation of maugham . it isn ' t a great\nreturning home\nfilm but maugham ' s book does present some real challenges in terms of adaptation . a modern director likely would have been able to do the trick .\never determined , he organised his own film festival \u2013 hiring out a local porn cinema as a venue . there were only 15 seats in the cinema and about 80 people turned up , so they had to show the tapes in batches .\neach event provides an opportunity for indian law students to interact with , and learn from , some of the world ' s leading lawyers and academics - such as edward walker - arnott , chris parsons , justin d ' agostino , other partners at herbert smith freehills , professor timothy endicott ( dean - oxford law ) and professor james edelman ( barrister , fellow at keble college , and lecturer and professor of the law of obligations in the faculty of law ) .\nbut jodorowsky had no idea where exactly he would shoot the film . he only knew he needed a landscape teeming with elephants , for , according to the screenplay , a good - hearted rogue elephant was to be the protagonist . unsure of where to find elephants in india , let alone how to make them act , the film\u2019s french producer enlisted the help of a seasoned local , the filmmaker ms sathyu ( best - known for his partition classic garm hava , which released in 1974 ) .\nfor all that the book is in terms of its influence and acclaim , dune has the plot structure density of a supermassive black hole . yes , star wars tells a better visual story ( for the most part ) , but taking into account the kind of detailed , non - cursory perspective of every character , setting , background , and thematic narrative down to the subatomic level would make seven films work just as an introduction piece if there was any hope of giving any semblance of justice to the depth of herbert\u2019s book . the simple fact is that in its own strange way , a film\u2019s inability to capture the enormity and grandeur of a book is less a criticism of the filmmaker and more a testament to the book\u2019s incalculable brilliance .\nfive frustratingly long years after the last offering , this is england 90 is the latest in a series which has taken us on a seven year journey beginning in 1983 , with the 2006 film which introduced us to a group of disenchanted youths in the midlands .\nspace , witches , prophesies , lasers , gigantic worms , hallucinogenics , messiahs , gom jabbars , kyle maclachlan\u2014what could possibly go wrong ? if you\u2019re frank herbert , absolutely nothing . if you\u2019re david lynch , universal studios , or one of the millions of confused and horrified moviegoers in december 1984 ? a metric fuck ton . the complete and total failure of dune as a film has become the stuff of ishtar - level ridicule , despite ( or maybe because of ) the fact that both films featuring copious use of sand footage . as is the case with many films that flop with the same kind of epic grandeur as the premise of their story , lynch\u2019s dune was the director\u2019s attempt at condensing the story equivalent of the pacific ocean into a solo cup .\nplenty of celebrities would have ignored such a request , and others still might have snidely pointed to the film\u2019s wikipedia page . but kyle maclachlan is not plenty of actors , so he offered something else altogether , a gloriously concise synopsis of the plot in 41 emojis :\na story about a simpleton with a golden heart and complex troubled mind . trapped in a desolate existence , he begins to ? communicate ? with the dead and eventually commits suicide . how does a sad dark tale like this prevent itself from being too maudlin or too morbid & apos ; and instead become an exciting inspirational film & apos ; with conviction of a director . and a film ? s convincing language ( treatment ) and confident body - language ( form ) ; expressed by superb histrionics of actors and rendered with excellent filmcraft of technicians .\nthe gallery\u2019s policies regarding film presentation are absurdly limited , concentrating almost entirely on films connected to current exhibitions . there are exceptions such as the retrospectives presented by the sydney film festival , but over the years robert worked within a system that required more than a bit of adroitness to get some variety and the odd killer connection . as far as i know , robert booked the films , assembled the programs and then projected them . projections were preceded by the most ferocious demands on the audience , starting with a no admissions after the start of the film and then subjecting the crowd to some serious admonitions as to how to behave during the show . i clapped the series of slides at every screening i attended though there always remained some buffoon or other who thought their phone calls or text messages were more important than everyone else\u2019s enjoyment .\naside from replacing the old standby laser sound with the deadly hazards of a rogue sneeze , lynch\u2019s \u201ccomplete abortion of a sacred text\u201d is really not so much . if anything , the film pares down the immense complexity of its source material to avoid allowing the film to be ( even more ) convoluted . for all that it misses , lynch\u2019s dune makes its greatest error in background omission . background of the harkonnens , the atreides , the padishah emperor , his daughter who provides the unnecessary hush - whisper voiceover narration , but most unfortunately , that of the fremen .\ntitas ekti nadir naam - adaita mallabarman ' s novel to utpal dutt ' s theatre , ritwik ghatak ' s film - three autonomous , extraordinary creations . suman ' s teesta paarer brittanto will remain as an instance like that\n.

page - long document , with the landscape described in variants of \u201ctropical southern indian . \u201d\nhere , in india , no one in the unit saw tusk , though they all wondered for decades what became of their work . and no one heard from jodorowsky either\u2014they only heard stories through intercontinental grapevines . nitin sethi , one of the members of the film\u2019s crew , said he ran into jodorowsky some years later on the metro in paris . he reported that jodorowsky looked bedraggled and impoverished . but the story that lasted among those who had tried to track both tusk and its director\u2019s fate was a different one\u2014when jodorowsky returned to paris , he rode to the film\u2019s premiere , past the eiffel tower , on the back of a circus elephant .\nand that\u2019s just the back story ! no wonder , then , that some fans of kyle maclachlan , who starred in the film as paul atreides , have been left a little confused . that , at least , is presumably what led someone to tweet a query at the actor , asking him to explain it to her :\nstarting in 1971 , the film burned up millions as it passed through the hands of planet of the apes producer arthur p . jacobs , chilean director alejandro jodorowsky , and sci - fi maven ridley scott before landing in the hands of avant - noir director david lynch . jodorowsky\u2019s aborted 10 - hour , salvador dali - starring , pink floyd - scored version is the subject of a new documentary , jodorowsky\u2019s dune . with that project putting dune back on nerdkind\u2019s mind this month , it\u2019s worth looking back at lynch\u2019s film\u2014a deeply flawed work that failed as a commercial enterprise , but still managed to capture and distill essential portions of one of science fiction\u2019s densest works .\non a crisp morning sometime in late february 1978 , an elephant waited patiently outside mysore\u2019s hotel metropole to meet with a foreign visitor . alejandro jodorowsky , a chilean - french filmmaker with a cult international following , had requested the meeting . earlier that decade , jodorowsky had shot to fame with the off - kilter hit el topo ( 1970 ) , which had caught the attention of many in the alternative arts fraternity , including john lennon . lennon even helped fund jodorowsky\u2019s next film , the holy mountain , which released in 1973 to widespread acclaim . five years later , jodorowsky arrived in mysore to start work on his next film , tusk , which was to be based in india .\nvarious things have gone wrong . a whole ten days\u2019 telexes to paris never got through . the stars have arrived a whole week before it was necessary\u2026everyone is cross\u2026the arrangements are ghastly and everyone blames everyone else . shoutings continue\u2026 [ gg ( the cinematographer ) ] has worked all over the world and says this is the worst organised film he has ever been on .\nthat said , lynch\u2019s vision for turning one of the greatest and most inherently complex science fiction stories ever written into a film was about as valiant an effort as anyone could\u2019ve made in the same circumstances . long before new line cinema were saying \u201cfuck it . why not ? \u201d to peter jackson\u2019s lord of the rings films , directors like lynch were fighting an uphill battle to go past the 120 - minute mark , much less go full godfather and unleash holy celluloid running - time hell . add to that the fact that the previous seven years had been ass and elbows absorbed into a relatively well known and cherished film franchise called star wars , and dune likely felt like the beastmaster did for audiences after seeing conan the barbarian .\nas she viewed snippets of tusk on youtube , oriole remembered the sadhus did not dress in real life as they appear in the film . they usually wrapped themselves in layers of fabric but jodorowsky insisted one of them pare down his garb to bare chest and a langot , as if to make the sadhu look like one of those from the f\u00e1bulas p\u00e1nicas comic strips .\npublished in 1965 , herbert\u2019s novel received with near universal acclaim , culminating in his being awarded the 1966 hugo award . in the 50 years since , dune has become one of the best - selling science fiction novels of all time . released just a little over a decade after j . r . r . tolkien\u2019s seminal first installment of the lord of the rings series , dune worked as a kind of respite for those readers who preferred their fantastical storytelling with fewer swords and more telepathic , voice - throwing messiah figures . though not at all a slight to tolkien\u2019s masterpiece , dune didn\u2019t simply offer an imaginative world for its characters to inhabit ; it offered a world in which the characters didn\u2019t belong .\nwhen dune , the adaptation of frank herbert ' s seminal 1965 novel of the same name , was released in december of 1984 , it was met with near - unanimous derision . roger ebert hated it , hated it .\nit took dune about nine minutes to completely strip me of my anticipation ,\nhe said .\nthis movie is a real mess , an incomprehensible , ugly , unstructured , pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time .\njanet maslin opened her new york times review by stating ,\nseveral of the characters in dune are psychic , which puts them in the unique position of being able to understand what goes on in the movie .\nzing !\nhe has since said that his role in tie was pivotal , saving him from a potential life of crime . his mum died in 2005 and the original film is dedicated to her . the support of meadows and the cast after her death was overwhelming , with andrew shim ( milky ) and stephen graham ( combo ) making a \u201cgentlemen\u2019s agreement\u201d that they would always be there for him .\ndune was like the anti - star wars , undoing everything lucas ' s trilogy did to make sci - fi a friendly place . a new hope took audiences to far away galaxies , sure , but it smoothed the transition into the fantastical with a simple , recognizable tale : a gentle farmhand meets a wise old man and a cowboy , gets himself a sword ( of sorts ) , and goes adventuring . it ' s almost baffling , in retrospect , that producer dino de laurentiis , who bought the rights to the notoriously obtuse dune project in 1978 , one year after star wars became a hit , could look at herbert ' s novel and think that something as warm , friendly , and accessible could be squeezed from its pages .\nalthough he believed his film is sensitive to indian culture ( his indians are not savages ) , he unwittingly made a caricature of it . as he hammered on with anti - colonial comment , he lapsed into cliches to make his point . the indian butler bemoans , \u201cnone of us are free here , \u201d while the sadhus must make the white man one of them to prove their superiority .\nif a plot summary of tusk suggests an ungainly arrangement of events , then the film , in its entirety , is twice as convoluted . much of the film is long\u2014though impressively shot\u2014sequences of charging elephants , and groups of people shouting incoherently to either catch an elephant , celebrate an elephant or fight with each other about elephants . there are several minor storylines , half - uttered comic characters , and too many celebratory processions thrown in at periodic intervals . but more interestingly , each of these digressions seems to be a depiction of something \u201cindian , \u201d be it the singing , spell - casting sadhus , elise sneaking out in a boat at night to meditate in a half - submerged temple , or the publicly anti - indian lord spencer , who is secretly having an affair with his indian maid ."]}

vasantha obeysekera who followed up his well - received debut ves gatho with a slew of successful films culminating with palangetiyo in 1979 . another major director who stepped forward during this time is dharmasena pathiraja who examined the tensions of city youth in such works as bambaru awith and ahas gauwa . artist and poet mahagama sekera ' s sole film thun man handiya is also an important film in sri lankan cinema released in 1970 . sumitra peries , the wife of lester james peries , also struck out during the 1970s with work that looked at the conflicting roles of women in society . her work include gehenu lamai and ganga addara .\nover the next few decades , artists such as tissa abeysekara , chandran rutnam , dr . d . b . nihalsingha , udayakantha warnasooriya , h . d . premaratne , ashoka handagama , prasanna vithanage and vimukthi jayasundara have attempted to breathe new life into the industry . nihalsingha was an accomplished cinematographer as well as an editor : so his films has an input which was special and brought a viewpoint to all his films , most of which focused on the exploited women .\nvithanage ' s film purahanda kaluwara is widely considered one of the best movies made in sri lanka as is jayasundara ' s sulanga enu pinisa which won the coveted camera d ' or for best first film at the 2005 cannes film festival .\nduring sri lankan civil war several films have begun to tackle gritty subjects such as family relationships , abortion and results of the conflict between the military and brutal tamil tigers in the north . director asoka handagama especially has drawn criticism for pursuing such material in his work .\nin the recent years high budget films like aloko udapadi , aba ( film ) and maharaja gemunu based on sinhalese epic historical stories gain huge success .\n1901 marked the introduction of film to sri lanka ( then called ceylon ) when a film was shown for the first time in the country at a private screening for the british governor west ridgeway and prisoners of the second boer war . it was a short film that documented the british victory in the boer war , the burial of queen victoria and the coronation of edward vii . more english screenings followed and attracted british settlers and anglicized sinhalese .\ncinema in sri lanka became a public affair due to the efforts of warwick major , an englishman who developed\nbioscope\nshowings . these were films screened out in open areas and makeshift tents . the first permanent theaters were built by madan theaters in 1903 . the company showed indian films and achieved success , prompting the development of theaters by the rival olympia .\nin 1925 rajakeeya wickremaya ( english : royal adventure ) became the first film to be made in sri lanka . dr . n . m . perera played the lead in the film which was shown in india and singapore . however this film reels got burnt before they were shown in sri lanka . in 1933 the film paliganeema was screened in colombo .\nduring the 1920s and 1930s films with american stars like charlie chaplin , greta garbo , john barrymore , rudolph valentino , and douglas fairbanks , jr . were popular in sri lanka . the shiek and the thief of bagdad were especially popular . in 1932 , the first sound film to be screened was shown at the regal cinema , titled\nthe dream .\nby the 1930s indian films started to surpass english films in popularity . bilwa mangal set an early record for sri lankan box office earning .\nthe beginnings of cinemas spread was seen when the indian madan circuit established elphinstone cinema in colombo as a part of his extensive cinema chain in asia . empire cinema , which became the longest functioning cinema in sri lanka was established in 1915 and continued to function till 2003 when it was demolished to make way for a commercial building in colombo\nsouth indian producer s . m . nayagam played an important role in the development of the first sri lankan film . in 1945 , nayagam founded a company named chitrakala movietone and constructed a studio in madurai , india for the purpose of making a sinhala film . after considering several options , he decided to build the film around the historical love story of saliya and asokamala and held a contest to find a suitable screenplay ; the winner was budding artist shanthi kumar . due to disagreements however this project fell through and nayagam broke a deal with dramatist b . a . w . jayamanne to film his popular play kadawunu poronduwa . [ 1 ]\nkumar [ 2 ] determined to film his script left nayagam ' s company and convinced the ceylon theaters group to fund his film . faced with a more daunting task of putting together the film from scratch , the ashokamala project began filming in coimbatore about two months after the production of kadawunu poronduwa had initiated . naygam ' s film would win out screening at the mylan theater on january 21 , 1947 . [ 3 ] ashokamala was screened three months later in april 1947 at the elphinstone theater . [ 1 ]\nboth films were popular with audiences but derided by critics who found them to be derivative of south indian cinema . [ 2 ]\nof the few filmmakers interested in pursuing a truly indigenous art form in these early years , sirisena wimalaweera was the most prominent . [ 5 ] in his work , wimalaweera researched sri lankan history when depicting historical characters like king asoka , who oversaw the introduction of buddhism to the island and saradiel , a robin hood - like character . [ 1 ]\nk . gunaratnam was another major producer in this period [ 6 ] breaking into the scene with the technically skilled sujatha made at the state of the art modern theaters studio in salem , india . it was highly successful and influenced popular cinema over the following decade . it was revolutionary in its high production values and incorporation of north indian cinema into the accepted south indian model . still it failed to capture the true nature of sinhalese life or create anything uniquely sri lankan . [ 1 ]\nin 1956 documentary filmmaker lester james peries and his fellow film technicians william blake and titus thotawatte broke away from the government film unit to produce what they hoped would be a truly sinhalese film that would revolutionize sri lankan cinema . [ 7 ] in all facets of the creation of rekava , the trio strayed from tradition shooting completely outside of the studio , creating an original story with no basis in literary or historical material and utilizing a mostly inexperienced cast [ 8 ] ( with a few exceptions i . e . d . r . nanayakkara ) .\npopular film continued in the indian mould . there was great interest in the cinema . the sinhala daily ,\nlankadipa\nlaunched the first film festival where\ndeepasika\nawards were given out .\nthough rekava failed to influence popular cinema which continued to imitate indian cinema , it did draw out the efforts of some small independent filmmakers who coalesced into units . the most important group in this period , kurulu rana , was led by screenwriter p . k . d . seneviratne , producer john amaratunga and actress punya heendeniya .\namaratunga in his pursuit to follow up rekava came across seneviratne ' s radio drama kurulubedde and enlisted him to adapt it into a film . though it maintained certain formulaic elements , the film was free of overt indian influence and contained various elements of sinhalese culture . actress punya heendeniya broke ground in her role portraying a truly sinhalese character in contrast with the female roles of popular films modeled after indian actresses . it was a critical success within sri lanka and was praised for its realistic portrayal of sinhala village life . the group followed up with the thematically similar sikuru tharuwa in 1963 . [ 1 ]\nat this time , the government film unit productions were making their mark , particularly , pragnasoma hettiarchi ' s\nmakers , material and motiffs\nwhich won the gold medal at venice international film festival in 1952 . hettiarchi was to repeat this feat again in 1972 with\ncentenary of ceylon tea\n.\nthe success of gamperaliya changed the course of sri lankan cinema significantly . following its release , many films attempted to adapt the realistic style of the film and took up location shooting previously shunned .\nseneviratne again emerged in this period with a script about village life titled parasathu mal . this time he had the support of the wealthy producer chitra balasooriya [ 13 ] who would not fall prey to financial difficulties encountered by amaratunga . balasooriya was deeply interested in creating an artistic film in the vein of gamperaliya and enlisted lester ' s wife sumithra peries as technical director and gave the budding actor gamini fonseka a chance to direct . fonseka had served in a similar capacity on rekawa . also among the crew was cameraman sumitta amarsinghe who had trained with the gfu and was adapt at outdoor shooting . [ 1 ] the film would be a critical and popular success . [ 13 ]\nserendib productions responded to the artistic mood in the air in 1965 with saravita [ 14 ] starring a comedic actor , joe abeywickrema , for the first time in sri lankan cinema . it dealt with slum life and the criminal element within it and was awarded most of the national awards that year for film . titus thotawatte who had broken away from lester james peries after sandesaya directed chandiya the same year avoiding overt crudities prevalent in the action genre made within the country . [ 1 ]\nsiri gunasinghe ' s sath samudura released in 1966 was the biggest critical success in the wake of gamperaliya . the film was praised for its realistic portrayal of a fishing community and acting from a cast that included denawaka hamine , edmund wijesinghe and cyril wickremage . also drawing acclaim were gunasinghe ' s novel film techniques such as his extensive use of close - ups . working close with gunasinghe on the script and the direction was vasantha obeysekera . the editing and photography was handled by d . b . nihalsinghe . both would go on to be major filmmakers on their own . [ 1 ]\ngdl perera ' s\nsama\nwas followed by a film on contemporary city settings in dahasak sithuvili . gdl joined up with the d . b . nihalsingha ' s famously fluid hand - held camera work of the\nsath samudura\nfame , utilizing subjective camera and a sepiatone filter for the first time in sri lankan cinema . [ 15 ] perera and his group had first came to fame with saama , a stylized but faithful observance of village life . [ 1 ]\nother major films of this period include the debut directorial efforts of obeysekera ( vesgatho ) and nihalsinghe lanadmark film , ( welikathara ) .\nwelikathara\nwas tissa abeysekara ' s first screenplay - he was billed as\nadditional dialolgue writer\nup to that time . nihalsingha ' s recognition of tissa abeysekara ' s superlative writings skills launched him on a career as the foremost screenplay writer in sri lanka .\nwelikathara\nwas to become one of the 10 top films of sri lankan cinema . nihalsingha ' s refershingly fluid camera work was noted by this time . he combined the facets of direction , cinematography and editing in\nwelikathara\nto create an epic in cinemascope for the first time in sri lanka .\nwelikatara\nwas to become one of the\n10 best\nfilms of sri lanka .\nan independent student production overseen by ranjith lal ( nim wallala ) , songwriter mahagama sekera ' s autobiographical effort ( tun man handiya ) , the maiden production of piyasiri gunaratne ( mokade une ) and sugathapala senerath yapa ' s hanthane kathawa which introduced the to be matinee idol vijaya kumaratunga .\napart from that , the movie soorayangeth sooraya ( english title : - the river of love ) is a landmark film for the sri lankan ( helawood ) cinema where a trend of thriller , action and musical films emerged . these commercial movies , although foreign transliterations , discuss the problems of poverty , blind law , injustice & love . hence , critics are in a zoom lens against these movies .\nin 1971 , a socialist government which sought to overcome the dominance of screen time in sri lanka by tamil and hindi films came to power in the country . foreign film domination had resulted in domestically produced films being relegated to 20 % of the screen time while foreign films occupied 80 % ( 60 % tamil , 10 % hindi , 10 % english ) . the government which won power had promised to redress this imbalance . it established the state film corporation by act no 47 of 1971 , charged with the promotion of national film and giving and making available a wide variety of films to the public .\nthe sfc instituted a film distribution system through which all films produced in the country were ensured exhibition according to system of precedence . quality control of the cinemas was established by a system of inspection and checks on equipment .\nthe cost of imported film was reduced by 75 % because of the monopoly buying by the sfc : the same number of tamil films continued , albeit at greatly reduced prices .\nthe result of the measures was that the film admissions which were 30 million in 1972 grew to 74 . 4 million by 1979 . the domestic film screen time share grew from 20 % to 58 % . the number of cinemas grew to 365 by 1978 \u2013 the highest number . by 2010 , this number was down to 147 .\nthis was the best evidence that the system prior to the sfc was not market - oriented and that the demand was suppressed . it required the sfc to cater to the suppressed and pent - up demand , resulting in an unprecedented surge in yearly admissions within seven years .\ntitus thotawatte and lester james peries were the most prominent artists during this period making artistic films . thotawatte directed such films as hara lakshe , sihasuna , sagarika and mangala which united technical skill with themes that appealed to mainstream audiences . lester james peries was more successful in his work in this period , creating some of his most important work despite the restrictions instituted by the government . [ 16 ]\nperies ' nidhanaya , released in 1972 , is considered his masterpiece [ 17 ] and was adjusted the best sri lankan film of the first 50 years in 1997 by a government board . it was praised for its skillful direction by peries ' and the inspired acting by gamini and malini fonseka . it was another international success for peries ' winning the silver lion of st . mark award at the venice international film festival and being selected one of the outstanding films of the year , receiving a diploma , at the london film festival . [ 18 ] his subsequent works of the period were also critical successes ( desa nisa and madol duwa ) .\ndharmasena pathiraja , who had worked on yapa ' s hanthane kathawa , [ 19 ] emerged with his debut directorial effort , ahas gauwa , in 1974 . it served to capture the spirit of the dissolute urban youth and provided a major artistic venture for actors like cyril wickremage to prosper in . obeysekera pursued a similar theme in his work valmathvuvo .\nparty came to power and some of the restrictions instilled earlier were removed . but this removal only in respect of production , which resulted in a flood of shoddily made films under the unrestricted credit given by anton wicremasinghe to anyone . some 100 films were waiting for release as cinemas , in a curious contradiction , was forced to show each and every film so made .\nas a result , the peak film attendance of 74 . 4 admissions of 1979 , began to drop and has been declining uncontrollably till now .\nit is popularly held that television was the cause of this decline . but sri lanka television broadcaster rupavahini corporation commenced transmission only in 1982 , by which time island - wide cinema attendance had dropped to 51 million , from the peak of 74 . 4 million of 1979 . the presidential committee to investigate the film industry in 1985 established that there was a major drop in attendance for tamil films in 1980 . since television went islandwide only in 1983 , this drop in film admission was due not to television but to new tamil films not being screened .\nsumitra peries , lester james peries ' wife , made her directorial debut with gehenu lamai in 1978 . it examined the effects of societal constraints on a rural girl and secured some critical applause in addition to box office success being selected as an outstanding film of the year to be presented at the london film festival and receiving the jury award at the carthage international film festival . in her first film appearance , vasantha chathurani was praised for her restrained portrayal of the lead role .\nperies ' next film ganga addara ( 1980 ) captured the imagination of sri lankan audiences becoming a huge box office hit and breaking earning records in the country . critics were also impressed with the film as it went on to capture many of the national awards given to film in the country and was awarded a diploma at the south asian film festival .\nis widely held to be his pivotal work dealing with social tensions between fishing folk and city youth . pathiraja ' s film\nwas made in tamil intending to contribute to the development of cinema featuring that language in the country . though well made ,\nfollowed the dreary lives of an old soldier , a prostitute , an alcoholic and a thief intending to cast light on their plight . pathiraja went into hiatus following the making of the film .\nin 1979 . it dealt with the difficulties of urban youth . his next film\nwith the flooding of films directed by\nanyone\nunder the national film corporation chairman anton wicremesighe during which hundreds of films were produced creating a 5 - year line of films waiting for release , being no match for the increasing rise of television coupled with the beginning of a civil war , film earnings began to drop as sri lankans took to staying at home instead of frequenting the theater .\none of the most important filmmakers of sri lankan cinema , prasanna vithanage directed his first feature film sisila gini ganee in 1992 and his second anantha rathriya in 1995 . the latter was a large critical hit being shown at several international festival and securing several awards . vithanage ' s followed the work two years later with pawuru walalu a mature drama that featured a performance by former star nita fernando after a long hiatus . it was also lauded by critics . his final feature of the decade was purahanda kaluwara that examined how the sri lankan civil war affects families of soldiers . featuring a contemplative performance by joe abeywickrema in the main role , the film is considered vithanage ' s finest work ."]}

ranging , free associative view of the work\u2019s place within the culture\u2014the forces that inspired it , and the message that it hoped to convey .\nandrew johnston ' s article on jean vigo and ' ' l ' atalante ' ' [ ' ' rescuing a romantic epic from obscurity , ' ' june 11 ] is a welcome and sincere attempt to bring to the attention of film lovers an unjustly neglected master and his greatest masterpiece . but by presenting vigo as a creator of ' ' romantic fluff ' ' and his father , the radical miguel almereyda , as a merely exotic figure , mr . johnston has obscured the vital psychological connection between father and son that crucially shaped the latter ' s work .\na brooklyn -

clauses and sub - sub - clauses . in retrospect it seems not at all surprising that one of his favorite shows was deadwood , a series built around monologues that could go on for a minute or longer , and only when you looked at them on the page did you realize that the whole monologue was one long sentence .\neach chapter is lengthy , digressive , generally rewarding , and offers as much perspective on the critical reception of the texts as on the texts themselves . this is why i call it a courteous book , because andrew james johnston has read his comrades carefully and thoroughly , displaying a scholarly generosity in doing so . rarely does one find this type of close reading of critical material any more , since single - sentence generalizations have become almost normalized . johnston follows the argument of even the most thorny and unwieldy secondary scholarship closely , and , with adeptness , locates the lacunae to allow him to situate his own critical intervention . in this way , he pays great respect to the discipline , ensuring that he is not repeating former arguments but in fact is building upon them . and since he is working with some of the most canonical texts of the discipline , his task in sorting through the critical tradition is huge and his achievement in doing so impressive . any critic cited in this text might consider herself or himself fortunate to have such an interlocutor as johnston .\nandrew was a booster of great tv , closely following mad men , breaking bad , the wire , the sopranos , deadwood , buffy the vampire slayer , battlestar galactica , rescue me , the office , the shield , friday night lights and other series worth watching and arguing about . one of his proudest achievements was his championing of donnie darko , a film that got lukewarm to baffled reviews when it was released in fall of 2001 , soon after the attacks of 9 / 11 . andrew believed it was a future classic and a present - tense masterpiece , a film whose virtues would eventually be recognized . by writing a rave review for time out , then mentioning it again in print every chance he got , andrew did more than any working critic to usher that film into the modern pantheon .\nstalin might not have approved of the speed at which the tube font was produced . having decided that the underground needed its own typeface , one that would \u201cbelong unmistakably to the 20th century\u201d , pick met johnston , and gill ( who had been one of his first pupils ) , in 1913 . it would be another three years before johnston delivered the final lettering\u2014about as long as it took the moscow metro to build its first line .\nbut probably my favorite andrew post on the group , which i\u2019ll take the liberty of pasting in after the jump , was over apocalypse now redux , which andrew and i were virtually alone in thinking was an improvement on the original ( the vote was 5 better / 19 worse ) . i wrote the following then in lieu of defending the changes myself .\nthe man whose eye still guides millions of journeys every day has hardly done better in terms of recognition . but his name is there if you know where to look . on the chest in the depot the paper labels in the brass plates read \u201c12 line johnston bold caps\u201d or \u201c8 line johnston\u201d , the creamy paper blackened by years of inky fingers . open the drawers and there are lines of stammering wooden letters : ppppp , nnnnn , dddd , their backs beetle - black and glistening with printers\u2019 ink . soon , this chest will be roped into the johnston centenary celebrations . for the moment , it stands here , by the trains and the bins , forgotten .\nandrew\u2019s taste was defiantly his own . he didn\u2019t take his cues from anybody\u2014no mean feat for a guy who landed a high - profile job as a new york film critic in the 1990s , when critics of earlier generations dominated the profession and insisted , explicitly or implicitly , that younger critics acknowledge the works they enjoyed during their youth in the \u201960s and \u201970s as the be - all and end - all . andrew\u2019s taste in film and tv was eclectic ; he loved classic horror films , the signposts of mid - century european art cinema , and yes , the high watermarks of american film that made pauline kael\u2019s heart go pitter -

targeting considerations knew how good a critic he was . i unfortunately didn\u2019t read much of his work the last couple of years mostly because he began writing more about television , which i gave up a couple of years ago and so couldn\u2019t even follow . everyone i know says this was when he best found his public voice . according to this piece at the house next door , even on his deathbed , he was watching and writing about mad men , for which he was beating the drum very early ( as i say , andrew was an enthusiast first and last ) . \u201cmad men mondays\u201d was a regular feature there . i think i owe it to him to pick up and start watching mad men from the start after the election to see what was andrew\u2019s final love .\nandrew robb says american efforts to contain china ' s rise are\na futile and counterproductive approach\nbut the struggle to do so is the biggest threat to australia ' s economic prosperity .\ni ' ve been catching up with mad men , and reading mad men mondays as i get through the episodes -

( the year he was chairman , lord of the rings 3 won the new york critics top honor \u2014 which helped it build the momentum that ended with a historic oscar sweep . ) andrew was the kind of guy who loved gushing to you about what he loved , rather than ranting to you about what he didn\u2019t . that sort of personality was a welcome and sometimes needed antidote to the worldwise sang - froid that some of us are prone to , myself definitely not excluded .\nwhat a tragic loss - my sincerest condolences . to lose andrew and david foster wallace , two amazing minds and writers in such a short time , is beyond words . he will be missed . posted by audrey on 2008 - 10 - 27 14 : 41 : 00\nthis course will locate sggk within contemporary english culture , with a special focus on aristocratic and royal politics , religion and gender . but we will also consider the text\u2019s specifically literary aspects , especially its aesthetic traditionalism , and in the latter third of the semester we will attempt to see the poem through the eyes of the era\u2019s most brilliant literary critic , geoffrey chaucer , by comparing sggk to the squire\u2019s and the franklin\u2019s tales .\nhere\u2019s one brief passage from andrew writing about one of his favorite series , mad men , for the house next door \u2014reviewing an episode entitled \u201cthe benefactor\u201d , he segues from a summary of the episode and its function within the show\u2019s ongoing storyline into a discussion of narrative itself .\nseveral critics offered their condolences in the comments to mr . seitz\u2019s column , including slant magazine\u2019s keith uhlich ( who also edits the house next door ) who called this , \u201ca terrible loss . andrew was an invaluable contributor to the house and truly the kindest of men . \u201d\nandrew phillips founded a p in 2013 . he has over 20 years of experience as a studio leader , developing major projects in close collaboration with a range of complex public and private institutions , a significant number of which have gone on to be awarded national and international awards .\nit didn\u2019t matter [ \u2026 ] that the films arrived on the world market carelessly dubbed [ \u2026 ] , stylistically hampered further by repeated use of back projections and studio lots which the set - dresser barely had time to alter from film to film ;

the group was about 50 - 50 pros / nonpros ) into their circle and the super - secret group based on my postings in the late - 90s on usenet . and the thing i prized most about that was that never was i talked down to or ever treated as an inferior , an amateur interloper , etc . \u2014 not by andrew or any of the others . without their everyday - implicit approval i certainly would never have started this site and / or would have packed it in several times .\nandrew was a wholehearted geek , and while we may have had nothing else in common , we shared that , and it was enough . we became work friends , then actual friends . we saw x - men 3 together , and the descent , the latter right after his first round of chemotherapy . we went to hipster hamburger restaurants and watched the initial presidential debate ( the night after the sarah palin pick was announced , andrew was the first person to tell me that mccain had just blown the election ) . he tried to teach me to play xbox games that i was way too video - game illiterate to grasp .\nthe underground didn\u2019t commission a font to look different from commercial ones simply to sell it straight back to the commercial world . but that world wanted the font nevertheless . and so johnston\u2019s pupil eric gill obliged , creating gill sans , which would go on to be used on everything from the classic penguin books design to the bbc logo ( since 1997 ) \u2014and , later , many a word document .\ni ' ve been thinking about the similarities between the sopranos and mad men also , although mine have been mostly on a superficial level in terms of plot . duck is kind of a more civilized richie aprile or ralphie cifaretto . and so on . even the incident where don tells the man in the elevator to take off his hat is an echo of a scene in the second episode of the sopranos , where tony does the same thing to a nascar - esque guy at vesuvio ' s . anyway , always more food for thought . and though i didn ' t know andrew johnston , i thought his writeups here were fantastic . he ' ll be missed . posted by mark on 2008 - 10 - 29 18 : 43 : 00\nlogan , sandra .\ndomestic disturbance and the disordered state in shakespeare ' s othello .\ntextual practice 18 , no . 3 ( 2004 ) : 351 - 75 . analyzes othello within the social and political contexts of the emerging modern nation state . the critic argues that shakespeare ' s tragedy exposes a fundamental contraction of this system , observing that the modern state reinforces the subversive intrigues of alienated individuals such as iago while it destroys virtuous figures such as othello who\nembody the very values it claims to uphold .\ni ' d only become familiar with andrew ' s writing through this blog , but it was a weekly highlight and i ' m incredibly saddened by this news . apologies for backtracking the conversation ;

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

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

- in this case the bloody decades - long civil war in sri lanka . several story lines that don ' t necessarily intersect give the viewer plenty to ponder . but the strength of\nbetween two worlds\nis its lush cinematography . the stark contrast between the gorgeous landscape and the brutality being inflicted by man against man is disturbing .\nlandscape and memory flow one from the other in vimukthi jayasundara\u2019s inscrutable sophomore feature , \u201cbetween two worlds . \u201d more accessible than his almost perversely downbeat debut , \u201cthe forsaken land , \u201d \u201cworld\u2019s\u201d boasts stunning lensing , a painter\u2019s eye for unexpected compositions and an accomplished feel for ambient sound , but jayasundara\u2019s particular vision , reminiscent of the apichatpong weerasethakul school , remains opaque . champions will be vocal , though the film , caught between the worlds of the art gallery and the arthouse , will likely remain stuck in festival no -

( it was acquitted in 2015 . ) although there\u2019s a newsworthy hook \u2014 the film suggests that abacus was a scapegoat for larger banks after the financial crisis \u2014 the movie is primarily an affectionate look at the sung family , which runs the bank , and its resolve in the face of adversity .\nsoon , she will reprise her role as karin lane , the female lead opposite brad pitt , in the sequel to the blockbuster hit\nworld war z .\nin addition , she has completed three indie feature films including\nyou were never here ,\na thriller in which she stars opposite sam shepard ,\nbehold my heart ,\nopposite marisa tomei , charlie plummer and timothy olyphant , and\nkatie says goodbye\nopposite olivia cooke , jim belushi , christopher abbott and mary steenburgen , which premiered at the toronto film festival in september .\nit comes at night reviewing the domestic - discord drama \u201ckrisha , \u201d the debut feature of trey edward shults , last year , manohla dargis wrote that the film\u2019s opening shot made it feel like a horror movie . mr . shults makes good on that promise with his second feature \u2014 an actual horror movie , in which a patriarch ( joel edgerton ) , determined to protect his wife and son from a threat outside , must decide what to do about another family that comes a - knockin\u2019 . with riley keough , carmen ejogo and christopher abbott ( \u201cjames white\u201d ) .\nin 2013 , enos starred opposite colin firth and reese withersoon in the atom egoyan directed\ndevil ' s knot ,\nwhich premiered at the 2013 toronto international film festival . she could also be seen in the warner bros . crime drama\ngangster squad ,\nfor director ruben fleischer , starring josh brolin , ryan gosling , sean penn and emma stone . enos garnered praise for the warmth and emotion she brought to the role . the huffington post proclaimed \u201csome of the best work comes from mireille enos as brolin\u2019s wife\u2026enos has genuine chemistry with not just brolin , but with gosling in their terrific scene together . \u201d\nsuddenly they are on a large ship with a group of people , mingling in the bar . they don\u2019t recall how they got there nor does anyone else . the friendly steward helps people with drinks and conversation . the film sort of becomes a grant hotel at sea . you have the business executive mr . lingley ( george coulouris ) , the minister ( dennis king ) , the upper class couple who don\u2019t know why they have to associate with the riffraff ( isobel elson and gilbert emory ) , the journalist ( garfield ) , the actress ( faye emerson ) , the housekeeper ( sara allgood ) and the sailor ( george tobias ) .\nwith no narrative arc , vimukthi jayasundara ' s tale of life in sri lanka follows a young man who falls from the sky into the sea , clambers onto the shore and survives dangerous encounters in a city filled with rioting people and then in the countryside where unseen authorities shoot on sight .\ncinematographer channa deshapriya and production designer lal harendranath contribute to remarkably enigmatic sequences that might prove winning at festivals and could reach sympathetic international audiences as a cry for help for the young people of strife - torn sri lanka .\nthe urban scenes are realistic and terrifying : groups of men with clubs descend on anyone found alone , gunfire and explosions are constant , and streets are strewn with the wreckage from mayhem .\npeople that the young man encounters stay with him for a while but then disappear without explanation and are not heard from again . in the junglelike countryside , he sees incidents that he then learns happened a long time ago and commits acts of violence that prove never to have happened .\nhe finds a woman who apparently is his sister - in - law , and when she notices he has a damaged eye , she treats it with milk from her breast though she hasn ' t given birth . a little boy tends to a wounded bird but then climbs a tree and drops it into a large knothole in the trunk .\nwhen a village ' s well is found to be poisoned , all the young men who have been hiding from the guns of the authorities emerge from the forest to bale the water away . the young man joins in , and their movements become a dance and a chant followed by a celebration that ends when armed men on horseback swoop down on them .\nlandscape and memory flow one from the other in vimukthi jayasundara ' s inscrutable sophomore feature .\nwith : with : thusitha laknath , kaushalya fernando , huang lu .

( the gfr would like to thank park circus in glasgow , scotland for working with us to ensure this special screening . )\nwhat my eyes have yet to see was the last salvo for several years from a highly revered and commercially successful filmmaker . on opening night of the film , several ministers were troubled by how the political personalities were portrayed , and it took several years for marangos to launch another feature film . this is one of the rare films that the greek film retrospective hopes will continue its ' tradition of unearthing great little films that truly exhibited the talent of greece ' s past cinematic gems .\nthere has always been an irony in the great emigration of greece in the post - 1952 era . some say they had to go for their own personal survival . in rembetiko , it was all out sacrifice by the characters that live and die in this film for music and art . even their children were victims until success happened . it is a portrayal of an\nall - or - nothing\nthrust and most of the time there was nothing but a bitter road back home for these artists\u2026\nfulmer , jacqueline .\ncundieff ' s revision of masculinity in film , or , a ' hard ' man is not necessarily good to find .\nin :\niphigenia is a towering achievement of a film where ancient greek characters rage and love and die in their own language . this is a legendary film where high drama plays out with a sense of authenticity that has never been found in hollywood studio pictures , where usually most actors / characters speak in a british accent or are dubbed .\nthis is a 1991 italian film that won the academy award for best foreign language film in 1991 about a group of italian soldier garrisoned on the island of kastellorizo during world war two which was not a bad place to be during the war . if you want to see a film that will make you want to go to greece this may be it because the scenery is beautiful and the characters are memorable ( even though i don ' t remember them ) . one thing you may not know about this film , even if you are one of the many people who loves it , is that it was produced by silvio berlusconi . yes . that silvio berlusconi .\nwhat makes this film a landmark is the seamless storytelling of fringe greeks that are living and dying , struggling and singing for their daily and nightly bread . it is a testament to the dispossessed of asia minor , their incredible fortitude in the growing slums of a world wide depression , and how they lost and found themselves and survived in a ravaged nation . whether you are a fan of the genre of greek blues or not , rembetiko possesses one of the most naked and painful montages recorded on film of modern greek history . through stock footage and brilliant song and lyric , director ferris crafted a film about his motherland and its\u2019 inescapable reality of farming out its\u2019 children to the diaspora . ( whether this is unfair or not , the truth is that greece lost ten percent of its\u2019 children to the u . s . , canada , australia , germany , and beyond . )\nin rembetiko , the director , much akin to a painter , uses these historical events \u2014 either by showing or suggesting them \u2014 to recreate a background of a social order that always seems to be on the edge of chaos and collapse . scenery , costumes , period piece trivia etc . are all well executed and are successful in recreating a realistic and believable visual context for the period . the viewer will have little difficulty in the area that movie analysts love to call \u201cthe suspension of disbelief\u201d . the filmmaker tries to help the viewer to adopt real , genuine feelings . as a viewer you will drink , you will sing and you will dance zeibekiko ( the most appropriate dance for these songs ) . you will understand that rembetiko is not just a movie . it is a musical identity . and it is not just a musical identity when applied to a genre of songs , but the musical identity of a whole country . it is not the chronicle of a century , but a view from all centuries and in all centuries . rembetiko , put simply , is a summary of greek history .\nbrides is a poignant film brought to life with sincere performances and honest writing . it is an honour for the gfr to screen a film of this caliber , as we feel certain the audience on the danforth this summer will be moved by this heartbreaking story . we truly hope to be able to show more of voulgaris ' classics in the coming years .\nramsey , guthrie p . , jr .\nmuzing new hoods , making new identities : film , hip - hop culture , and jazz music .

the neighborhood children , sat outside while the performers ; my brother and sister and our closest friends , were in the garage which was the stage . i starred and directed in my own eight year old version of america , america . there was no script , just a vague plot and me telling everyone what to say and do . though it was a step up from lip synching beatles songs while playing tennis rackets it was the last play i ever directed and except for a small role in an elementary school play , as the march wind ( where i ran roaring across the stage dressed as a lion ) , it was the end of my acting career as well . so since my version of america , america is lost forever the next best thing may be to see the elia kazan film since after all it was nominated for best film and best director at the 38th acadamy awards .\ni was very pleased to find ' rembetiko ' on dvd after so many years ! back then , it only was on for a short time at my local cinema / art - house ( rotterdam , holland ) / right after , i was * very * impressed and checked for another view , but it was the very last one performance , alas . since then , this movie became some sort of a myth in my memory . after seeing the film after almost 25 years it feels very different . . .

as - elvis tells her the whole story , and she thinks he ' s crazy but she adores him just the same . he gives her a scarf , and she runs out . we see gary , living the life that he made for the dead elvis , getting ready to put on the white vegas jumpsuit of death . gary knows the end is near for elvis , but he ' s still determined to live elvis ' life as he remembers it , even though he ' ll die young , just like the real elvis did .\na round of hollow applause for gary pitkin , who tried to pay a blood debt in sequins and b movies , and discovered to his sorrow that sometimes you ' re called back for one encore too many .\nsound of elvis singing ,\nare you lonesome tonight\nas picture fades .\njeff yagher bears as much resemblance to elvis as you can hope for in an actor , and his performance is key to the success of the episode . he plays gary as a goofy kind of saviour , yet plays elvis as a serious , insecure kid . he does a good job with elvis ' voice , too . lisa jane persky has a sincere quality as the agent , and her level - headedness in the face of gary ' s lofty ideals is refreshing .\nthe one nice surprise of the episode is seeing red west . red worked as a bodyguard for elvis , and was one of his oldest friends . having such a close link to the legend gives the story weight . and red ' s always been an interesting actor who is fun to watch .\nthe period 50 ' s atmosphere is handled well , though it obviously looks like california in some scenes that were supposed to be in memphis . the comment that red west makes upon meeting gary and seeing a picture of chuck berry on his t - shirt ,\nis that a negro on your undershirt ?\nisn ' t very pc but i suppose in 1954 it was not uncommon , and it takes courage for a tv series in 1986 to use it .\nthis story could have benefited from being expanded to an hour , because it has a rushed feel to it during the scenes between gary and elvis . i would have liked to see more of the interplay between the two characters . still , this is a well - written teleplay and a great way to start off the second season .\nthe good news ? this year syfy is airing every single episode\u2014all 156 of them , in order . the bad news ? there\u2019s a little interruption to the marathon when they air two hours of wwe smackdown on new year\u2019s eve .\nall times are eastern / pacific , and some of the descriptions are spoilery ( not to mention ridiculous ) . but if you\u2019re going to complain about spoilers for a 50 -

aged men got around young women , \u201d writes hemingway . the actress suggests that allen attempted to act upon the crush by flying to her parents\u2019 home in idaho and inviting the teen to europe .\nwhen alice comes back into focus , it ' s clear that the central flaw of paris - manhattan is in its underwritten heroine . alice hasn ' t made the mistake of seeing her life as a woody allen movie \u2014 it ' s just that she thinks life should play by those movies ' off - kilter rules . the script doesn ' t make a judgment as to whether that ' s a bad thing or not , and it ' s unclear whether the reason alice is single is her oversaturation with woody allen or that she just hasn ' t met the right guy yet .\nfor the next five days , ms . trepelkova , who grew up in manhattan , was in russia while he stayed with cousins in london . they fired texts back and forth the whole time . just a few weeks earlier , she had messaged him on the dating site how about we , and they soon met for a sushi dinner .\nby his own high standards , woody allen may only have made one great film ( midnight in paris ) this century , but his cinematic and literary output is well worth celebrating . that said , there\u2019s something almost creepy about the slavish devotion to allen demonstrated in writer / director sophie lellouche \u2019s debut feature .\nhe arrived at the lobby of ms . trepelkova\u2019s boutique hotel in paris carrying a small brown box of miniature chocolates . they admired the eiffel tower down the seine , and the next morning took a train to belgium . speeding through the countryside , he asked her if they could live together . she put him off .\nso apparently paris fitness as we know it is no longer . they are under new and very rude management . i noticed on groupon that they were having a zumba class deal of 2 for $ 10 . i thought that was a great deal . so i tried looking up their website and it was a broken link . so i tried calling and a rude woman picked up and informed me that the website is down because paris fitness is under new management . i proceeded to ask if they have a new website , she scoffed and said no . i then asked if paris fitness was still offering the zumba class deal and she had no idea what i was referring to . so i told her about the groupon ad and she scoffed again before saying that they are\nnot offering that .\ni told her she should contact groupon and have them remove the ad before people buy the offer under false pretenses . she laughed at me and hung up . wtf ?\ni am extremely satisfied for staying at your hotel . the front desk persons like , k\u00e9vin , mohamed , akram , badou and solo are extremely friendly and helpful . the room is big , clean and quiet . very good and warm breakfast . i will definitely recommend to my travel agent , friends and will return to stay if i visit paris again .\nset in paris , this pretty but aggressively inoffensive romantic comedy astounds by how little it really has to say about love , life or woody allen . that ' s no mean accomplishment \u2014 invoking one of cinema ' s most influential icons and doing nearly nothing with him \u2014 but it ' s one that needs to be seen to be believed . or not .\nhemingway says that she woke up at night with the realization that \u201c [ n ] o one was going to get their own room . his plan , such as it was , involved being with me . \u201d she says that she went into his guest room and woke him up asking , \u201ci\u2019m not going to get my own room , am i ? i can\u2019t go to paris with you . \u201d\nin paris , the pharmacist alice has been an obsessed woody allen fan since she was fifteen and has seen all his movies and talks to him alone in her room . when she meets pierre in a night - club , she finds that he loves jazz and she believes he is her prince charming . but when pierre sees alice ' s sister h\u00e9l\u00e8ne , they immediately fall in love with each other and marry each other . years later , alice is a spinster that administrates the pharmacy that belonged to her father and believes that movies can heal many diseases . however her father insistently tries to find a husband for her . when the alarm technician victor meets alice , she does not see any future relationship with him . but one day , victor brings alice to meet woody allen in paris and the director gives an advice to alice .\naccording to an excerpt obtained by fox news , the actress cautioned her parents \u201cthat i didn\u2019t know what the [ sleeping ] arrangement was going to be [ in paris ] , that i wasn\u2019t sure if i was even going to have my own room . woody hadn\u2019t said that . he hadn\u2019t even hinted it . but i wanted them to put their foot down . they didn\u2019t . they kept lightly encouraging me . \u201d\nour hotel is ideally located a stone ' s throw from the famous saint -

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

to - face encounter with the other , which creates the revelation of alterity . the transcendental other preceding subjectivation is precisely what is described by auster in the following passage relating the revelation of\nlove at first sight\n:\nthe start of a shift and i brace myself as i walk into the waiting area . a huge number of people are already there , waiting to be called . i try to avoid eye contact . it ' s like entering an arena but i feel more like the sacrificial lamb than a gladiator . entering the main area of the emergency department , a scene of chaos . all available space to see patients is occupied . staff shout instructions to each other above the noise . i hear a patient vomiting , another is crying out in pain and an elderly woman ' s voice cuts through , confused and repeating that she wants to go home .\nso do i ,\ni whisper to myself .\nthere are several critical concepts , metaphores that come to mind facing the music of origin and death in such a paradoxical de / territorialized locality . to name but a few , the space of literature , the orphic space , the gaze ( maurice blanchot ) , tuch\u00e9 , the gaze ( jacques lacan ) , punctum ( roland barthes ) , hibridity , the third space ( homi bhabha ) , mirror stage ( as interpreted by paul de man ) and the decisive moment ( henri cartier - bresson ) has to be enlisted here . what these differing concepts embedded in their ideosyncratic contexts have in common is that they connect the idea of an aporetic surface , movement , moment to their selfsame impulse , namely , to the act of perception .\nsalah el moncef\u2019s generalized concept of the sublime is described as a constant oscillation between a symbolic totality ( 1 ) , and its synchronic coexistance with the metonymic drift of fragments ( 2 ) . this aporetic function of the moon inherent in blakelock\u2019s landscape connects the sublime to jacques lacan\u2019s concept of anamorphosis and maurice blanchot\u2019s\norphic space\n. according to lacan and blanchot , this aporetic space is the surface where author as the absent other lacking origin opens up to his counterpart , the one who percieves . lacan in the confirms that\n[ t ] here is something whose absence can always be observed in a picture ( \u2026 ) . this is the central field , where the separating power of the eye is exercised to the maximum in vision\n( the four fundamental concepts of psycho -

kush - himalaya depends on whom you ask . some will point at expected changes in climate , others will show what it may do to poor people , and some will express their concerns regarding the economies in the region .\nwhereas anamorphosis as a lacuna in the work of art emphasises how drawing the observer into the act of perception depends on a signifying point of overflowing negation in the center , blanchot\u2019s concept underlines how both author and beholder disappear into the fissure of the openness deeply implemented within the core of the work .\nwhat this means is , if you heat or cool electron - degenerate matter , then the nuclei move faster or slower just as they would in a normal gas . but unlike a normal gas , the electrons don ' t care and don ' t follow suit . they are not attached to any particular nucleus any longer and in fact , the only factor that has any effect on them is the struggle to push themselves farther apart and avoid the exclusion rule . that struggle results from the immense compression created by the immense gravity of the white dwarf , and gravity has nothing to do with temperature . thus , the electron gas responds only to changes in the mass of the white dwarf ( i . e . , to changes in its gravity ) , and not to changes in its temperature , which in turn means that a white dwarf does not change in size at all as it is heated or cooled .\nthe mise - en - abyme of the moon viewed from a room associated with fogg\u2019s total failure to intentionally deprive himself of systematic beliefs results in a nominalization of the sublime ( ideological anchoring with the ideal other :\ngod\n) . instead of effective self -

rounding off my mini - celebration of double oscar - winning hollywood legend olivia de havilland ( 102 years young today ) is a review of this classic , southern gothic horror in which she co - stars with bette davis . # cinema # film # filmstars # movies # oliviadehavilland # hushhushsweetcharlotte # horror # gothic # southerngothic # grandeguignol # bettedavis # robertaldrich # centenarian # birthday # bornonthisday\nps : while i don\u2019t think the early 1980\u2019s bill murray movie \u201cmeetballs\u201d was directly based on this show \u2014 maybe a seed of the idea was kicking around and maybe inspired the people who made that film \u2014 if only indirectly . this would have been the kind of show the writers / actors of that movie would have been watching when they were younger . a few of those folks might have even seen it .\ndevol definitely provided music for the pilot episode . hugo montenegro was then brought on to compose music for the series , although whether devol was involved in additional episodes is unknown . according to screen gems : a history of columbia pictures television from cohn to coke , 1948 - 1983 , the original \u201ctitle song\u201d for camp runamuck was written by frank devol and performed by bobby darin [ 9 ] . al diorio , in his biography of darin , states that darin wrote the theme song for camp runamuck as well as another short - lived sitcom , wendy and me , but makes no mention of him performing it [ 10 ] .\ncamp was the last warhol film that baby jane holzer appeared in . she left warhol ' s factory soon after edie sedgwick ' s arrival on the scene . in response to an interviewer ' s question about whether she felt comfortable at warhol ' s factory during that period , she responded that\nthere was a period when i wanted out of there . i mean , it got a little bit sick , it just felt that the movies got a little bit too strange . people showed up at the factory and i got a bad vibration from them .\n( uw49 ) holzer stayed away from the warhol scene until after he was shot in 1968 . she re - established contact with warhol and continued to socialise with him in the seventies and throughout the eighties .\ntelevision magazine , in its third annual survey of critics , compiled a panel of 16 critics from across the country and asked them to rate all new shows as good , bad or indifferent . camp runamuck received two goods , nine bads and five indifferents . the two goods came from del carnes of the denver post and lawrence laurent\nwhether there was cynicism at work is something the audience will have to decide for itself . admittedly , \u201ccamp runamuck\u201d is intended to be slapstick , but it is a show on such an extraordinarily low level that one feels it simply has to be intentional . it just couldn\u2019t be an accident , one muses . you look and you don\u2019t believe it .\n\u2013 another fascinating glimpse of the efforts that martyn strover and others involved with woodlarks went to in order to provide an evacuation possibility for disabled adults from london . the whole process seems to have begun in jan 1938 \u2026 and on 27th august 1939 the adventurers camp was cut short , in order to accept a group of disabled girl evacuees from london .\ni watched this camp slice of nonsense with a pal who , like me , shares an appreciation of the wild comments and wilder ways of theatrical grande dame bankead . here , at age 63 and without a hint of movie hair or make - up assistance , she showed no sign of letting up , frequently turning up on set as pissed as a lord .\n\u2013 the casting of this show always kind of fascinated me . two of the main regulars , arch johnson and leonard stone , were known mainly prior to camp runamuck for playing tough guys ( heavies , really ) on just about every crime / detective / mystery show . indeed , after runamuck ended , johnson and stone went right back to the same typecast .\nalthough here is is obvious he is unable to create even the slightest bit of tension or induce anything even approaching shocks and scares , narizzano has created with his technical team a quite beautiful looking film . the finished result has the crisp , pastel colours of a hannah barbera cartoon , or an episode of the 1960\u2019s series batman , which bankhead starred in as the black widow . as bankhead descends further into madness , ghoulish greens are used when she attacks ( for the umpteenth time ) powers in her basement / shrine .\nunfortunately , the commissioner of camps showed up unexpectedly and , in light of what he had seen , announced he\u2019d be revoking wivenhoe\u2019s license . eulalia was able to convince the commissioner that the men were bringing the bathtub to camp divine and saved wivenhoe\u2019s job . thus , the groundwork for the feud between the two camps is laid and many episodes would involve some sort of conflict between the two camps .\nterrance o\u2019flaherty of the san francisco chronicle , despite giving the series an indifferent rating , wrote \u201ci found the premiere to be the funniest show of the season in terms of laughing out loud in my own living room\u201d [ 13 ] . broadcasting put together its own survey of tv critics , giving each review a score of excellent , good , fair , poor or bad . camp runamuck was given two goods , two fairs and five poors [ 14 ] .\nwe must also thank our previous archivists \u2026 i\u2019m honoured to have known them all ; hugh \u2018gwidge\u2019 gwither , derek travis and jim cooley . gwidge in particular did a monumental job of collecting and organising almost everything here over a 35 year period . deep boots to fill ! what none of my predecessors were really able to do was share all this wonderful history with everyone . the digital age , and particularly the smart phone has changed all that . you\u2019ll be able to watch a 1936 woodlarks film wherever you are , to download and read any or all of the 85 yearbooks , to download pages of interest from the scrapbooks .\nfor example , in an episode reminiscent of the pilot , pruett is given an air conditioner and caprice uses her feminine wiles to convince him to give it camp divine . wivenhoe then wins it in a card game and places it in his tent , leading pruett , spiffy , doc and malden to hide out there for the night so they can enjoy the cool air . meanwhile , mahala may and caprice try to figure out a way to get the air conditioner back .\n\u201ci\u2019ve run this one through twice . from the opening shot the camp leader is clearly stan pain , making the salute as alex pratt pulls up the flag . other people i recognise are harvey miles ( large , in khaki ) , victor griffith in wheelchair , possibly one of the routledge brothers at the sale table , bramble ( hugh morgan ) also in that scene , steb ( michael stebbings ) as a helper in the sports scene . the three leaving the chapel are of course keemo , along with rev eric jennings who was vicar of the bourne , and what looks like harvey miles again\nit seems that a lot of nbc affiliates didn\u2019t carry this show , including those where i grew up in schenectady , ny and nashville , tn , though i was just an infant when this was first - run and never would have been able to see it then anyway . i recall that it was rerun both on nick and comedy central in the early 90s , and i remember taping 1 episode off comedy central that had a silly plot about how an exterminator hired by the counselors shrank the camp , and they tried to convince wivenhoe that some beans that the counselors & the kids ate made them all grow to superhuman size . wivenhoe believed them for awhile too .\ntosh carillo also appeared in warhol ' s horse and vinyl and worked in a floral shop . he was known for his\neducated toes\nwhich he used in horse . he could pick up pencils and write with his toes , as well as unzip the flies of trousers with them . in real life , he was heavily involved in the s & m scene and had his own\ngameroom\nfor his sexual activities .

( working - class white women had a similar experience : while their husbands , fathers and brothers fought in the army , they were left to provide for their families on their own . )\nin october 2000 , the united nations security council passed landmark resolution 1325 on women , peace , and security , which linked women\u2019s experiences of conflict to the international peace and security agenda , acknowledging their peacemaking roles as well as the disproportionate impact of violent conflict on women . ten years later , the u . s . institute of peace co - hosted a three - day women and war conference focused on the varied experiences of women during wartime and how to make sustained progress toward international peace and security . the event featured an extraordinary coalition of national and international participants , including u . n . and u . s . government officials , the international diplomatic communities , military personnel , academics , civil society leaders , and practitioners in the fields of security , development , and conflict resolution .\nthe collective experiences and accomplishments of all canadians , including those of women , during the great struggles of the second world war have provided our country with a proud and lasting legacy that will continue into the country ' s future .\nnearly 20 , 000 women worked more directly for the union war effort . working - class white women and free and enslaved african - american women worked as laundresses , cooks and \u201cmatrons , \u201d and some 3 , 000 middle - class white women worked as nurses . the activist dorothea dix , the superintendent of army nurses , put out a call for responsible , maternal volunteers who would not distract the troops or behave in unseemly or unfeminine ways : dix insisted that her nurses be \u201cpast 30 years of age , healthy , plain almost to repulsion in dress and devoid of personal attractions . \u201d ( one of the most famous of these union nurses was the writer louisa may alcott . )\nwith all that , it will be no surprise that infinity war is on track to be the longest mcu movie yet .\nthe kurdish fighters facing off against isis clearly recognize the valuable contributions women among their ranks have to make . it\u2019s time to make sure the american cultural narrative about women in direct combat roles reflects these contributions , too\u2014both current and historical . seeing depictions of women in combat action is an important step toward encouraging more women to join newly opened combat arms branches . as maj . gen . tammy smith recently reminded her followers on twitter , \u201cif i can see it i can be it . \u201d hollywood isn\u2019t the solution . but it can and should be part of it .\n\u201clysistrata\u201d is a bawdy anti -

cut . female nurses , who risked their lives to care for the troops at the front , were still described in gendered terms ( as carers , sisters or \u2018angels\u2019 ) , while munitions workers were simultaneously depicted as capable of demanding physical labour and as compromising their maternal instincts . how to reconcile the paradox that the same women who made the bullets and shells , responsible for the deaths of so many , would also be the mothers of the next generation ?\nmodern adaptations of the play are often femininist and / or pacifist in their aim , but the original play was neither particularly feminist nor unreservedly pacifist . even while apparently demonstrating empathy with the female condition , aristophanes still tended to reinforce sexual stereotyping of women as irrational creatures in need of protection from themselves and from others . certainly , it seems clear that aristophanes was not actually advocating real political power for women .\nfrom a purely cosmetic standpoint , the broadway musical \u201c war paint \u201d seems to have all the makings of an over -

world federation . after centuries of struggle against bitter odds , man had at last achieved a harmony and unity with nature . what remained was for him to achieve his complete spiritual union with god , a transcendent universal spirit , or life force . this was the soul ' s\npassage to india ,\na passage to the very cradle of civilization .\nin addition to the pervading optimism and nationalistic fervor he generated in many of the poems in the third edition , whitman was also very much concerned with the theme of death , the result of some emotional crisis ( whose source is unknown ) he had experienced in the late 1850s . several of his great poems of this period testify to this\u2014\nas i ebb ' d with the ocean of life ,\nout of the cradle endlessly rocking ,\nand\nscented herbage of my breast .\nother well -

minute action movie . if it were a movie , you would film 45 minutes of action over 3 - 4 months , so that\u2019s a major difference , \u201d he says . he admits that while it\u2019s challenging , he revels in the fast -

reno ( vanity ) to prison . when harry discovers that she is a highly sought - after criminal , he has to bring her to the big metropolis of neon city . unfortunately , this means traveling with the muscle - bound bulk ( lyle alzado ) and other misfits through dangerous and uncivilized lands , a situation made more perilous by life - threatening weather and vicious marauders .\nthe protagonist of the game , the unselfish hero . you will play the rol of this rad dude that even with his rough appearance is ready to give everything to unify his city and to bring peace once again to his people .\nneon city is a decent post - apocalyptic take on stagecoach . the world in which it takes place is nicely formed . there are these periodic instances of severe sunlight referred to as\nbrights\nthat leave those exposed to it with severe radiation poisoning . there are mutants , and social politics involved in the treatment of them , and breeding between mutants and non is harshly viewed . the society that exists is devolved back into classic western tropes - - headhunters , fascist law enforcement , theives , and so forth .\nthe secret is the third and final ( in 2016 ) installment of mapping the city . fiamma montezemolo\u2019s exhibition consists of two installations \u2014 \u2018 three ecologies \u2019 and \u2018 neon afterwords \u2019 ( the latter one

ethnographer . \u201d\nwhen i hear , or think of actor michael ironside . i\u2019m so use to him in a genre film of this ilk playing the hissable bad guy / henchman , in one shape or another , so it was a nice change of pace to see him at the opposite end of the spectrum . his gruff , tough as nails anti - hero performance , ex - ranger turned bounty hunter , makes it worthwhile , as the straight

harry stark is a bounty hunter in the year 2053 , where the world ' s environment has gone to hell after the ozone layer was destroyed in a botched scientific experiment . at the beginning of the movie , we see him capture an escaped prisoner ( played by vanity - her character ' s name according to the credits is\nreno\n, though i don ' t think it ' s actually mentioned once during the movie ) at a remote outpost . he then drags her back to civilization ( at least , what passes for civilization now ) to turn her in and collect the reward . though once he ' s there , he discovers that he now has to hand her over to the authorities in neon city . not only is it several days journey from where stalk is now , it ' s through territory plagued by gun - wielding bandits , as well as pockets of polluted air and lethal sun rays . several subsequent circumstances beyond his control soon find himself and reno aboard a large armored transport vehicle on its way to neon city , along with a variety of other passengers , among them a spoiled socialite , a comedian , a doctor , a woman who apparently knows stark from the past , and an ex - convict that stark put in jail five years earlier . in other words , what we have here is an update of the classic movie stagecoach ; it goes to show that the western isn ' t dead , just evolved into other genres .\nour members the \u201ctroopers\u201d who form neon city garrison are regular people who reach out beyond the bounds of their daily jobs and responsibilities to volunteer their time and service by participating in charitable work within the local community . the men and women who don the costumes of the various characters of the star wars universe , do so with the belief that their activity is beneficial to others as well as themselves . our success continually depends on the dedication , professionalism , and enthusiasm of our members to accomplish our goals of helping to create success in the events that we attend . we , and the 501st legion have worked closely over the years with lucasfilm ltd . , at conventions and events in a continued effort to promote our love of star wars by bringing the characters to life for the enjoyment of all .\nis neon city a terrible movie ? no , it certainly isn ' t ; i was never bored while i was watching it , because there was something of interest to look at every few minutes . but while its facade looks good , the interior , while not repugnant , is lacking life . not just with the characters and their interactions , but in other areas . ( the action sequences , for one thing , are mostly generic . ) while it ' s a movie that passes the time adequately enough , it has nothing that will compel a viewer to rush out and find it , or make them want to see it again after watching it . if a picture is worth a thousand words , then i would have cashed in some of this movie ' s good look for a screenplay with more substance .\nnot long after a technological pinnacle , the society experimented a quick economic downhill that ended in the fast accumulation of useless robotics and damaged utopian structures . even when their time on the top was little , the cyborgs learned enough data and intelligence to create their own sub - society and seize the east side of the city . now they just try to survive and encapsulate their kind into their turf .\nfor this project we got inspired by some of our favorite games like link\u2019s awakening , hyper light drifter , mother series , final fight series , fallout 3 and even the dynamics of resident evil to name some . and thanks to this influence and your feedback we will be able to build our own identity and concept which we know it will be appealing to you and get you into invest many hours enjoying this city , its inhabitants and its mechanics .\nthe first thing we defined was the contextual concept , which we decided to fuse the urban aesthetics of new york gangs during the 70 ' s and 80 ' s with science fiction concepts , specifically cyberpunk . after that we were adding more ideas like the use of supernatural abilities , the division of turfs and the identity of their gangs , the correlation of your new skills and their mechanics to unlock areas and to destroy enemies more easily , the relationship of the city and its inhabitants with you and how these connection allow you to unlock new features , and finally add a simple but deep story filled with a charismatic cast , moral drama and good sense of humor .\nin neon city , ironside plays bounty hunter hero harry stark . at least , i assume he ' s supposed to be the hero , since he ' s a really rough and gruff fellow with the hint of a snarl on his lips . since there are meaner guys encountered in this movie , i guess he is the hero , though i think the proper term would be anti - hero . what ever kind of hero he is , it ' s kind of a disappointment to see ironside the way he is here , especially since this kind of role is rare for him . frequently , his character ' s sour disposition makes him almost come across as a bad guy who is masquerading not very well as a good guy . at least , the times when his character talks , which isn ' t as often as you ' d think . and with a number of other characters getting focus in the movie , it ' s kind of odd having a hero who doesn ' t seem to have that much more focus than the supporting characters . the times when he is standing out , it ' s actually hard to get caught up by what he ' s doing ; there ' s something unnatural looking about ironside in this movie . the features on his face don ' t stand out , almost as if the makeup artist didn ' t touch up his face for the camera lens . his hair , except for the ponytail , looks as if it ' s paint on a bald hair . he looks strange .\nalthough canada has turned out its share of cinematic wobblers over the years , they ' ve been low on those post - nuke mad max ripoffs that perpetually glut the direct - to - video market . maybe bob and doug mckenzie ' s uproarious\nmutants of 2051 a . d .\nspoof from strange brew shamed the canadian film industry for years . in any case , the moratorium has ended with . . . read more\nalthough canada has turned out its share of cinematic wobblers over the years , they ' ve been low on those post - nuke mad max ripoffs that perpetually glut the direct - to - video market . maybe bob and doug mckenzie ' s uproarious\nmutants of 2051 a . d .\nspoof from strange brew shamed the canadian\ninstead of a horse - drawn wagon , this stagecoach retread features a turbocharged truck that conveys diverse misfits across the environmentally ravaged wastelands of 2053 , where nomadic bandits , toxic mist , lethal sunbursts and those ever - popular mutants pose constant peril . the characters have to\nwildman ) , now a mail - order bride for some lucky neonian ;

new british horror film demons never die has decided to find out , perhaps in more detail than anybody really required . here ' s a breakdown of the film ' s plot , according to its new trailer .\nmore interested in street cred than plot cred : never has a bunch of kids looked less likely to want to end it all .\ninteresting when the kids are debating whether or not they really want to die and boasting a very decent cast . surprisingly , the actual ' horror ' part is the let - down .\nwhen a young girl takes her own life , archie and the other suicide kids decide to follow her lead and form a pact . but as the group begin to die one by one , archie realizes that they have\nif we could kill archimonde and kil ' jaeden and destroy argus in the twisting nether we would decapitate the legion ' s leadership and the legion would cease to be a threat for thousands of years due to infighting that would occur amongst the now leaderless demons .\n& c . , & c . i have questions that will never be answered . you do . and more will come to me . but at this moment , what\u2019s more important to me is : the dog made me cry .\nblizzard originally planned to have archimonde die for good , that ' s why you fight him in the nether in mythic mode , however they moved away from that idea , that ' s why in the ending cinematic we are on draenor .\nwhen a young girl takes her own life , archie and the other suicide kids decide to follow her lead and form a pact . but as the group begin to die one by one , archie realizes that they have . . . see full summary \u00bb\ni guessed about halfway into the episode that jack would not survive it . this is no work of genius on my part . in a way , the ending was almost so perfect that it\u2019s amazing we didn\u2019t all call it . certainly people have guessed that the series that began with jack\u2019s eye opening would end with it closing . and it made perfect sense that jack , who was meant to die at the end of the original version of the lost pilot , instead die at the end of the series .\nit ' s essentially an unwise billet - doux to no - budget slasher flicks , bolted on to some\nurban\nvagary . first time director writer arjun rose was a city trader . . . and it shows . he demonstrates little in the way of ability with this debut . directing a not unserviceable cast with all the panache of a go - compare ad , there ' s every possible clich\u00e9 you could imagine , used badly , and the character arcs barely register above flat - line throughout the entire film . there ' s enough bad cinema around with the likes of\nfond of shiny things with no narrative\nmichael bay and co , we don ' t need another . but that ' s being harsh to bay , demons never die makes transformers 3 look like kubrick .\nthis film received mostly negative views , while some acknowledged the potential impact this movie made , such as the concept of young people debating on whether or not they actually want to die . however , the majority of reviews make note of its poor horror useage .\n' hi . i ' m linda o ' keefe . . . 45 years ago today , i disappeared and my killer was never found ' : police tweet as the 11 - year - old girl who was murdered in 1973 in a bid to publicize the cold case\napart from pop - culture renditions of some of the novel ' s themes , aspects of its language have been leapt upon by libertarians to describe the curtailment of freedom in the real world by politicians and officials - alarmingly , nowhere and never more often than in contemporary britain .\nexorcist director william friedkin :\ni know that it is considered by a great many people as a horror film . i ' ve never thought of it that way and i didn ' t approach it that way . it ' s a story about the mystery of faith .\ni was thinking about this situation where if you kill a demon , it doesn ' t die , only its psichical form , and it get back to the twisting nether . so basically we can ' t defeat the legion , because they can come back anytime . as we killed archimonde in the end of wod , he didn ' t die just his psichical form , then it is possible for him to come back time to time , if he finds a weakened body . not to mention sargeras . thinking about this its an endless war when the legion will win in the end .\n9 . directors who were approached before friedkin included stanley kubrick , bonnie and clyde ' s arthur penn , and the graduate ' s mike nichols , who turned down the job because he thought ,\nyou ' ll never find a 12 - year - old girl to carry the picture .\ncinema is full of funny little\nwhat ifs\n. what would back to the future have been like if michael j fox had never replaced eric stoltz ? what would have happened if tom selleck had played indiana jones ? most of the time , such questions are simply left twisting in the wind .\n[ a side note : good advice to future producers trying to keep final scenes secret\u2013make sure it contains only two actors , one of whom is a dog and cannot spill any secrets . in retrospect , matthew fox\u2019s comment in my interview with him that the finale dealt with \u201cwhat happens after we die\u201d was even more spoilery than it seemed to me at the time . ]\nin 1946 observer editor david astor lent george orwell a remote scottish farmhouse in which to write his new book , nineteen eighty - four . it became one of the most significant novels of the 20th century . here , robert mccrum tells the compelling story of orwell ' s torturous stay on the island where the author , close to death and beset by creative demons , was engaged in a feverish race to finish the book\nlong story short , the gang kinda never gets around to honoring their suicide pact , so a masked killer steps in and kills them for themselves , because they can ' t kill their own selves for themselves . by the middle of the movie , any message about suicide the movie may have been trying to get across is gone , replaced with long sequences that show off the soundtrack , which may have been\nwhen a young girl takes her own life , archie and the other suicide kids decide to follow her lead and form a pact . but as the group begin to die one by one , archie realizes that they have all become the target of a masked killer and that his commitment to death has become a terrifying fight for survival and a battle to protect the girl he loves . but who ' s the killer ?\ndespite this warning , a second teenager also kills herself shortly afterwards , while attending some sort of never explained photoshoot , after recording an equally unexplained , random video diary saying she has bulimia . ( there are frequent other random uses of video cameras throughout the script , to such an extent that i\u2019m left wondering whether this was conceived as found footage in an earlier draft . there is also a single bizarre sequence when the characters all talk to each other via webcams , shown on screen as coloured blocks that look like a bad game of tetris . ) the bulimia remark is typical of the sort of brief , half - hearted infodumps which are intended to show that these teens have \u2018demons\u2019 . another one later in the film goes like this : \u201cwhy do you live in that squat ? \u201d \u201cmy dad kicked me out because i got a girl pregnant . \u201d seriously , a whole bunch of people thought this was a filmable script .\nwhat it was , regardless , was a * story * , which showed the characters realizing the struggles we had seen them work through on the island . so the state they reached in the sideways was , in fact\u2013as we often suspected through season 6\u2013too perfect . the characters had more completely overcome their demons than they did on the island world . but this perfection itself was not enough . without the pain , and struggle of the physical world , and without the actual memory of it , their happiness was meaningless .\n\u201cthe end , \u201d and thus season six , and thus lost , was not perfect , because nothing is . i still believe that jacob and the man in black were never characterized as richly as other characters , like ben , which rendered locke in the end too much of a generic baddie . and the final images\u2013with the heavenly light shining though the doorway of the chapel , as christian walked into it a la close encounters\u2013were a bit overly touched by an angel .\nat a sixth form college , the principal announces that one of the students has killed herself , which is met with a startling lack of response from her disinterested peers . a couple of plain clothes policemen are there , one of whom warns the youngsters about the dangers of copycat suicides , something i\u2019m sure would never happen in real life because the natural response of any troubled teen would be : \u201cwell , i hadn\u2019t really thought of topping myself , but now that you come to suggest it\u2026\u201d\nyou could take that literally , as in : this is a picture of what happens when you die . or you could take it metaphorically , as in : this is a story using spiritual imagery to depict the lasting legacy of human contact . ( i personally see it that way , in the same way that i believe that religious scriptures are not literally true and yet are some of our most powerful and important stories regardless . your mileage may vary , as they say on the internet . )\n6 . the white demon face that we first see in father karras ' s dream sequence ( which friedkin says was influenced by alain resnais ' s use of subliminal editing in his holocaust documentary night & fog ) was never meant to be used in the film . it was an outtake from makeup tests performed on eileen dietz , linda blair ' s body double . friedkin had a last - minute inspiration to include just a few frames in the dream sequence and then later again during the exorcism itself .\naudience\u201d as one of the sleeve quotes has it ) . it\u2019s about a bunch of whining , self - important , self - obsessed teenagers who have nothing to worry about but like to complain anyway and feel the world owes them something just for getting out of bed . there isn\u2019t a single likeable or empathetic character in the entire film . why should anyone care what happens to these kids ? these are characters who are so shallow ( in both senses ) that for most of them we only learn their names after they die .\nbut though i saw that\u2013and knew , as jack staggered through the bamboo , that he was going out to die precisely where he first came to the island\u2013all my intellectualizing went out the window when vincent reappeared as he had in the pilot\u2019s first minutes . the show was returning to its simplest roots : life and death in the wild , and people trying to save other people . even if you saw the closing eye coming , what that eye saw before it gave up its spark\u2013a plane flying , safe in the sky , with jack\u2019s friends on board\u2013counts among the loveliest images lost has produced in six years of them .\nthe teacher , incidentally , is seen downing whiskey ( possibly that\u2019s his \u2018demon\u2019 , though once again there\u2019s neither context nor comment ) and telling someone on the phone that he wants out of whatever they\u2019re involved in . out of what ? who was on the phone ? why is he drinking ? is he the killer , or involved with the killer ? this is just one more random red herring that leads nowhere and means nothing , never either explained or justified . maybe that actually is the killer on the phone , but if so what is the teacher\u2019s involvement ? we don\u2019t know , and if arjun rose knows he\u2019s too incompetent a writer to explain .\n22 . blatty filmed a tight psychological thriller and executives hated it , especially because it had no exorcism of any kind .\nthey had come for slashings , for blood and guts ,\nsaid blatty .\nobviously i never wanted the film to be characterized in that way , and that is one of the reasons why i personally resisted using the title the exorcist iii . i wanted the movie to be called legion but the producers disagreed .\njason miller , who played father karras in the original ( a character who died , by the way ) , was brought in and a special - effects heavy exorcism was tacked onto the film ' s end .\neight very different london students have one deadly secret : they have all made a pact to end their lives together . however , a mysterious masked killer emerges from the shadows to grant their death - wish in a more terrifying fashion than they could ever have imagined . misfit archie , model samantha , wide - boy kenny , star pupil ashleigh , conflicted sachin , goth - girl jasmine , and weakling james are all battling their own private demons , from eating disorders to lost parents . but as a much deadlier assailant hunts them down one by one , their quest for death becomes a desperate fight for their lives . can these friends survive long enough to discover what they have to live for ? or will their bleeding hearts be brutally slashed wide open ?\ndid it work on a plot level ? i\u2019m not sure my head is wrapped around the mythology implications of this finale well enough to say right now . and it\u2019s not going to get better wrapped around it by , say , 3 a . m . , so i\u2019m going to largely leave that aside for today . i have questions : first , if in fact the sideways does not exist in the mortal world , then what did it mean when juliet said the h - bomb detonation \u201cworked\u201d ? all it evidently did was kicked the losties from 1977 to 2007 . with the island safe and no man in black , why , how , did hurley ever die ? why exactly did locke become mortal ? and\u2013a question with a zillion subquestions\u2013would it really have been so damn bad if the island sank after locke died ?\non jura he would be liberated from these distractions but the promise of creative freedom on an island in the hebrides came with its own price . years before , in the essay\nwhy i write\n, he had described the struggle to complete a book :\nwriting a book is a horrible , exhausting struggle , like a long bout of some painful illness . one would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist or [ sic ] understand . for all one knows that demon is the same instinct that makes a baby squall for attention . and yet it is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one ' s personality .\nthen that famous orwellian coda .\ngood prose is like a window pane .\nthe circumstances surrounding the writing of nineteen eighty - four make a haunting narrative that helps to explain the bleakness of orwell ' s dystopia . here was an english writer , desperately sick , grappling alone with the demons of his imagination in a bleak scottish outpost in the desolate aftermath of the second world war . the idea for nineteen eighty - four , alternatively ,\nthe last man in europe\n, had been incubating in orwell ' s mind since the spanish civil war . his novel , which owes something to yevgeny zamyatin ' s dystopian fiction we , probably began to acquire a definitive shape during 1943 - 44 , around the time he and his wife , eileen adopted their only son , richard . orwell himself claimed that he was partly inspired by the meeting of the allied leaders at the tehran conference of 1944 . isaac deutscher , an observer colleague , reported that orwell was\nconvinced that stalin , churchill and roosevelt consciously plotted to divide the world\nat tehran .\nity trader turned director arjun rose hedges his bets with his genre - bending debut : part bleeding heart emo love story ; part urban brit flick ; part high school slasher . it ' s a bit like being in a room with a group of stoned people at a youtube party , replaying the best bits of their favourite movies . executive produced by\n, with a last - minute name change from suicide kids , this stars a cast of hollyoaks , misfits and kidulthood alumni \u2013 a likable bunch but a smidge perky as depressed sixth formers who ' ve signed up to the world ' s most clueless suicide pact (\nwhat about hanging\u2026 from trees and that ?\n) . just as they ' re about to follow through \u2013 oh , the irony \u2013 along comes a knife - wielding psychopath picking them off one by one . the police think they ' ve got a spate of copycat suicides on their hands . how they could mistake frenzied knife wounds for self - inflicted injuries is anyone ' s guess . in real life , we ' d be talking major public inquiry .\n\u00a9 2018 guardian news and media limited or its affiliated companies . all rights reserved .\nthis website uses cookies . we use technologies , such as cookies , to customise content and advertising , to provide social media features and to analyse traffic to the site ( including the use of ad blockers ) . by continuing to use our website you consent to our privacy and cookie policy . read more\nwhen a friend kills herself , archie ( sheehan ) and his friends , the ' suicide kids ' , form a pact to follow suite . soon though a mysterious figure starts knocking them off and they find themselves facing a struggle to survive .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

lipped middle - aged protagonist does all day is just one mystery in this odd and , eventually , very satisfying film .\nthe moral tug - of - war between reporting a homicide and remaining silent lies at the core of radu muntean\u2019s lean , absorbing anti -

judgmentally homes in on a weighty theme and deserves a high place on the fest circuit .\nafter being the sole unfortunate witness of a domestic quarrel that ends up in a murder , patrascu finds himself at odds with two very close neighbors : one is the bizarre murderer , the other one his very own conscience .\nthe moral tug -

scripters alexandru baciu and razvan radulescu are never explicit about what sandu is thinking ( this wouldn\u2019t be a romanian film if they were ) : is he protecting his family ? himself ? an undercurrent of so much of new romanian cinema has been the need to strip bare how people treat each other as fellow human beings , a theme that \u201cone floor below\u201d subtly examines not via the murder , but through sandu\u2019s lack of a sense of the common good : keep your head down , don\u2019t get involved \u2014 a message hardly limited to one balkan nation .\nso many of the great recent romanian films like the death of mr lazarescu , beyond the hills , everybody in our family , child\u2019s pose work so well because of black humour , nonstop talking and an unbearable , increasing vice - grip . one floor below is a break from this formula . it really isn\u2019t up until the very end of the film that any of the characters\u2019 feelings are on the screen in a flagrant manner . as such , don\u2019t expect this to be much of a crowdpleaser . luckily patarescu and dima stick with their own inspections until the end .\none day , just as he and jerry arrive back at their building from a walk , patrascu passes an apartment one floor below his own and hears a heated argument kicking off between student laura ( voiced by maria popistasu , who also plays laura\u2019s sister later ) and her next - door neighbor , vali dama ( iulian postelnicu ) . it\u2019s obvious that the two have been having an affair , and that the married vali is possessive and possibly a bit violent . when vali suddenly bursts through the door and sees patrascu on the stairwell , no more than a curt hello is exchanged between them . however , it\u2019s clear that in that instant vali now knows that patrascu knows about the affair , and this glancing , two - second exchange will have far reaching repercussions for both of them .\na good life , an average life , is severely shaken , and sandu\u2019s quandary \u2014 to tell or not to tell \u2014 channels directly into his conscience . what works so well in \u201cone floor below\u201d is how muntean sets this dilemma off against the patrascus\u2019 daily existence : they have friends and family , olga helps matei with his math homework , sandu enters jerry in a canine contest . at the registration office the people know and like him ; he has a sense of humor \u2014 his private phone ring is a recording of ceaucescu\u2019s voice . is a sense of societal responsibility a necessary component of a decent fellow ?\nthe city to city program , spotlighting london this year , includes four world premieres in its slate : tom geens\u2019 \u201ccouple in a hole , \u201d george amponsah\u2019s \u201cthe hard stop , \u201d david farr\u2019s \u201cthe ones below\u201d and michael caton - jones\u2019 \u201curban hymns . \u201d\ndima ( iulian postelnicu ) lives downstairs with his wife . however he was having an affair with the young woman on the ground floor . soon after that overheard fight , she\u2019s taken out in a bodybag after a ( rumoured ) blow to the head .\nas i was watching the film , i admired how subtle it is in portraying a man whose sense of social belonging and responsibility has been destroyed almost totally by the authoritarian political system he grew up in . at the same time , i feared that the way of articulating the subject matter may be too offhand and subtle for it to fully register with audiences that haven\u2019t grown up ( as i have ) within the former communist block . the key to appreciating\none floor below\u201d is to keep in mind that it takes place in a country still troubled by its past\u2014just like the son of the main character proves to be troubled by chaotic , video game - fueled dreams in the film\u2019s last , strangely comforting scene that is as close as muntean gets here to articulating something akin to hope .\npaul hanganu loves two women . adriana his wife and the mother of their daughter , the woman with whom he ' s shared the thrills of the past ten years , and raluca the woman who has made him redefine himself . he has to leave one of them before christmas .\nthe camera almost never leaves sandu patrascu ( teodor corban ) , but it\u2019s not quite accurate to say audiences see the action through his eyes \u2014 rather , the character\u2019s steady presence forces us to question his motivation without condemning him . he\u2019s a perfectly \u201cnormal\u201d guy , sharing a business with his wife , olga ( oxana moravec ) , as car - registration expediters , lavishing attention on his golden lab , jerry , and being a decent dad to his son , matei ( ionut bora ) . while going home , he hears a violent argument in a first - floor apartment between laura ( maria popistasu ) and her horny , married neighbor on the second floor , vali ( iulian postelnicu ) . lingering a little longer than he should in the hall , sandu encounters vali exiting .\ncontemporary world cinema \u2014 the program with the broadest global reach \u2014 adds 56 movies , including 26 world premieres . leanne pooley\u2019s \u201c25 april , \u201d which uses animation to tell the story of the 1915 battle of gallipoli ; christopher doyle\u2019s \u201chong kong trilogy : preschooled preoccupied preposterous\u201d ; eric khoo\u2019s singapore hotel -

laden child\u2019s pose , so many of the major recent romanian films have monikers that wring heady significance from a seemingly innocuous detail . it\u2019s all about finding austere poetry in the messy stuff of everyday life , on every level .\nlike several other protagonists in muntean\u2019s films , sandu patrascu ( corban ) is a middle - aged , middle - class average joe , but more honest and grounded that the philandering heroes of christmas and boogie . a professional fixer who navigates the intricacies of romanian bureaucracy for people with vehicle - registration problems , he\u2019s well - liked by clients and colleagues , loving towards his wife olga ( oxana moravec ) and geeky pubescent son matei ( ionut bora ) , and positively doting towards his golden retriever jerry , whose poop he always bags responsibly .\nsome time passes as patrascu has dinner with his family , and goes back to work , but when he comes home that evening , the building is in a quiet uproar . laura has been found dead . maybe it was an accident , maybe not : the neighbors aren\u2019t really sure . but when vali starts hovering about the building entrance , making excessively friendly overtures towards matei and trying to read patrascu\u2019s poker face , it\u2019s clear he\u2019s worried that sandu might reveal what he knows , especially when a policeman ( muntean - regular adrian vancica ) starts making door - to - door enquiries .\nthe script plants hints about patrascu\u2019s motivations like a trail of tiny breadcrumbs , which make this something of thriller in its very low - key , hyper - realistic way , filmed with unfussy clarity by tudor lucaciu . a vast swathe of the running time is taken up with observing patrascu going about his business as the dmv - like vehicle - registration center , interludes which almost become drolly amusing in their monotony . and then suddenly there\u2019s a thunderbolt of violence , and all the masks of civility slip .\na moral quandary melds with a skilled construction of three - dimensional bourgeois life in radu muntean ' s lean , absorbing anti - thriller .\nteodor corban , iulian postelnicu , oxana moravec , ionut bora , tatiana iekel , vlad ivanov , mihaela sirbu , ioana flora , maria popistasu , liviu cheloiu . ( romanian dialogue )\nlater that day , sandu gets word that laura is dead , possibly murdered . the police come to question the building\u2019s occupants , and sandu stays mum , not even telling olga about the argument , although there\u2019s little doubt in either his mind or the viewer\u2019s that vali murdered laura . but maybe , just maybe , if sandu doesn\u2019t say a word , it will all blow over .\nbut vali lives in the same building , and he\u2019s not going away . he hangs around , a figure of quiet menace with a s\u2013t - eating grin that\u2019s designed to make sandu uneasy . then he asks sandu to help with his car registration , and ingratiates himself in the family by connecting matei\u2019s xbox and offering computer advice . vali is wondering why sandu didn\u2019t turn him in , sandu is wondering whether vali is a threat to his family , and tension is building on all sides .\nthe script\u2019s ability to keep all these ideas in play while maintaining a satisfyingly low - key approach speaks to its strengths , reinforced by the way the camera constantly privileges sandu with frequent shallow focus and lighting . corban , still best known for \u201c12 : 08 east of bucharest , \u201d warrants the camera\u2019s attention , delivering a performance in which the interior struggles exist just under the skin . he\u2019s a fully developed character , and his near - omnipresence , within a limited span of time , increases the sense of pressures doggedly wearing at his soul . postelnicu\u2019s chilling aura , steeped in menacing smugness , lingers even when he\u2019s offscreen .\nmuntean again works with his usual tech collaborators ( d . p . tudor lucaciu and editor alexandru radu ) , achieving a degree of minimalism that never feels empty or trying . his characters are the focus , and through them , a regular life becomes weighted with a moral dilemma of quasi - dostoevskian proportions .\nreviewed at cannes film festival ( un certain regard ) , may 14 , 2015 . running time : 93 min .

that it is based on a true story . but there are several real \u201ccatfishing\u201d mail order bride stories that could have inspired the writers . catfishing is the word used to describe the act of creating a fake profile for the sole purpose of duping another into believing that it is real . the mtv show catfish first popularized the word . in their show , they go behind the profiles and expose the real people to the world . in many cases , those who thought they\u2019d found love online have been left heartbroken . others have been bullied online by these fake profiles .\nanne winters and travis hammer star in \u201cthe bride he bought online\u201d ( lifetime at 8 p . m . ) , a thriller about a computer programmer who seeks revenge against a trio of teen girls who tricked him into purchasing a fake mail - order bride .\nbride he bought online is a new lifetime movie that is set to make its debut tonight . lifetime movie lovers have become accustomed to being entertained every weekend by lifetime\u2019s original movies . tonight\u2019s thriller the bride he bought online takes a shocking turn after some teens decide to play a joke on a lonely computer programmer . starring anne winters , travis hammer , and annalisa cochrane , according to the internet movie database ( imdb ) .\na lonely , socially inept computer programmer named john seeks revenge when he learns he ' s been duped unleashes a wrath that no one would have expected : by three teen girls who created a fictitious mail - order bride that he bought .\nshe said she originally wrote the bride he bought online as an indie horror movie that would be her directorial debut and she was ready to start up a crowdfunding campaign . but , there was no need , because executive producer pierre david was into the idea \u2014 but as a thriller .\nso much of our every day communication happens through the faceless internet \u2014 e - mails , tweets , instagram photos , gchat , online dating sites , and so much more . i ' d like to think i always know who i ' m talking to , but sadly , i can never be too sure . and , the new lifetime tv movie the bride he bought online , premiering on saturday night , will truly show audiences that the new love you found over the internet could be a mere prank by some teenagers . we hear of the idea of catfishing pretty often , so it ' s fair to wonder : is the bride he bought online based on a true story ?\noh , lifetime . always so good at reminding us that teenagers are the worst . also at giving characters [ adopts liam neeson voice ] a very particular set of skills that are selectively convenient to the plot . take , for example , last night ' s movie the bride he bought online , in which a computer programmer only realizes he ' s been catfished after he loses hundreds of dollars and has his heart broken . thank goodness he has all that computer knowledge to get revenge .\nafter finding a mail order bride website , three teen girls become fascinated with the dynamics behind \u201closer\u201d guys who buy brides online . in the sneak peek teaser , we see the girls making plans to dupe a lonely man who seeks a bride online . once he shows up at the designated location , the girls watch as the disheveled computer programmer holds up a sign with his bride\u2019s name on it . it becomes apparent to at least one of the teen girls that what they are doing is downright wrong . one thing is for sure , these girls have messed with the wrong man and have no idea what\u2019s in store for them after following through on this cruel joke .\nso , while the movie isn ' t based on one specific case , conradt says she was inspired to write the film by various cases of cyberbullying and juvenile crime . conradt has a masters degree in criminal justice from boston university and her studies focused on cyber crime and juvenile delinquency . the bride he bought online certainly deals with those topics . it ' s a story about three teenage girls who run a prank blog and decide their latest target will be the man who falls for a fake profile they posted on a mail - order bride website . unfortunately for them , the pranked man becomes becomes hellbent on revenge against the girls , but will he take it too far ?\na lonely and unstable man seeks revenge against three teens who created a fake mail - order bride blog .\npart of the fun of the bride he bought online is how everything keeps escalating . there isn\u2019t one kidnapping , there are three . the girls prank against john escalates to filming and getting him to spend hundreds of dollars . john turns from an awkward guy who is improving for a woman he loves into an embittered men\u2019s rights activist ranting about how american women treat men horribly . even his plan for the girls jumps the rails when it turns out the shady guys he met in the darknet are untrustworthy ! who knew ? ! what pranksters , those sex slavers ! the constant amount of plot twists is entertaining , and while the film was never in danger of slowing down , it does keep dodging your expectations . or pranking your expectations !\neven though mandy screams every five seconds that he ' s going to kill them , john says he has other plans for them . plans like selling them into prostitution . that seems like an appropriate punishment for three stupid teenage girls who played an online prank , don ' t you think ? unfortunately he only manages to sell kaley ( so convenient that it was the ringleader ) before the sex traffickers bail on him without paying . well , shit . now what is he supposed to do with these other two girls he kidnapped ?\nryan discovers his friend brent is the father of one of his girlfriends twins babies and that he date raped her at a party over the summer . with college around the corner he will stop at nothing to clear his name .\nnow that john has all three girls tied up in his warehouse , he ' s able to lecture them about hurting people and being a pariah and how american women aren ' t grateful like foreign women are , and blah blah blah . i thought he was trying to talk them to death . my favorite part is when he says his father used to tell him he has to walk in another person ' s shoes to understand them , and he used to think he meant he had to put their shoes on , \u201cbut now i realize he meant it in a figurative way . \u201d really , john the computer wiz ? you just realized that today ?\nall of the free movies found on this website are hosted on third - party servers that are freely available to watch online for all internet users . any legal issues regarding the free online movies on this website should be taken up with the actual file hosts themselves , as we ' re not affiliated with them .\nthe bride he bought online is a lot of things , or should i say , too many things . within a 90 - minute time frame , it tries to cover an impressive amount of different topics , including friendship , young love , social network , online dating , human trafficking , prostitution , and murder , even . while it shows a great deal of ambition , it also makes it comparatively difficult for a television movie like this to be able to live up to this kind of ambition . therefore , the consequence is that we get to see a little bit of everything , but we never get a chance to be truly involved in any of it .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website .\nmore dire a fate than she deserves . i was amused to read the posts about this film on the urltoken message boards , and in particular how many people were bothered by the fact that conradt created both john and kaley as multi - dimensional characters , neither all good nor all bad , and wanted this film to have more clearly defined heroes and villains than the anti - hero and anti - villain conradt gave them . i was also amused that at least two of the message board contributors wondered if conradt was setting up a sequel \u2014 which in this case might not be a bad idea : a the bride he bought online , part 2 : kaley\u2019s revenge\njohn tries to chase after them for a while , but eventually he gives up and just collapses on the ground staring at a picture of his fake girlfriend on his phone . then he has some sort of vision / memory / hallucination where he ' s playing the guitar for a mannequin wearing a wedding dress ( did that actually happen ? what ' s going on here ? ) before he shoots himself .\nthe excessiveness in its themes , the predictability of the storyline and the flat characters not only stop the movie from reaching the threshold of a good drama , but also make it nearly impossible for the audience to relate to the movie .\nshe also doesn ' t seem to know that you probably shouldn ' t try to fool an admitted computer programmer with a fake profile on a site for mail order brides . luckily for kaley , john ( travis hammer ) turns off the computer genius part of his brain when he sees pictures of diwata , the fake filipino woman kaley is pretending to be . they end up talking , and he even sends her a video of himself playing the guitar . it ' s all very pathetic , right down to the part where diwata doesn ' t show up to the airport on the flight he bought her a ticket for .\nwhen viewing the mail order bride website it can be seen that they are on a youtube video . however this\nvideo\nacts as a real website . see more \u00bb\nupon returning home , kaley turns on the tv , but john uses his computer hacking skills to scare her by turning off the security system in kaley ' s home . having succeeded in panicking her , he then enters the house and kidnaps kaley at gunpoint , taking her to the warehouse where he is holding mandy hostage . the next day , avery is being interviewed by an agent , as the parents of kaley and mandy are looking for their daughters . avery tells the agent about nick , and the cops mark him as a suspect . nick spoke to the cop , straightened everything out and told him about john and he was unaware what he was doing .\nin 2006 , a russian mail order bride named nina reiser entered into an online relationship with \u2014 and later married \u2014 computer programmer hans reiser . reiser ended up killing nina reiser after they began having problems . she was missing for a time , but hans reiser eventually led police to her body .\njohn takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse . he has to leave avery in the car while he ties mandy up , and for some reason she doesn ' t use that opportunity to make a run for it . does his car have a child lock or did he do some computer wizardry on it ? at least once they ' re all in the warehouse , avery takes advantage of the glass bottle just sitting on the ground and slices john ' s arm with it . he ' s very offended , and he runs home to bandage it . that ' s when his neighbor from across the street , a prostitute ( kesia elwin ) who ' s always showing him her bra through the window , shows up and notices his wound .\nbut , does this mean you should distrust the entire internet ? not quite .\ni think what ' s interesting is that when people go online the balance of trusting is thrown off , because either they just completely trust without being given a reason to trust that person , or they completely distrust ,\nconradt tells bustle .\na lot of our meaningful interactions with people have been replaced with what we believe are meaningful interactions online . people now believe you could get to know someone so well online and fall in love with them .\nbeyond the plot twists , the bride he bought online works because of the amazing actresses and their command performances . annalisa cochrane is awesome chewing the scenery when kaley goes full mean spoiled brat , and mandy and kaley feuding over a young man hired by john to get friended on their social media accounts is great catfighting and passive aggressiveness . anne winters plays avery so over everything and crushing on a boy instead , but is still forced to with her friends causing issues because of her sense of loyalty . lauren gaw\u2019s mandy torn between being popular and standing up for herself and remaining friends with avery , knowing in her heart that kaley will be left behind when they go off to college , but not able to push far enough away fast enough to do what is right .\nlater that day , avery is also kidnapped by john , and having now captured all three girls , he takes them to sell to a man he found online . the man are going to sell the girls for human trafficking . however , john gets scammed by the men , who only take kaley with them . afterwards , john takes mandy and avery back to the warehouse , where avery slashes him with a piece of glass and tries to escape , but is unsuccessful . upon returning home , john ' s hooker neighbor offers to find him someone else to sell the girls to , and the pair return to the warehouse . however , instead of aiding john in his trafficking attempt , the neighbor shoots him in the arm , allowing mandy and avery to escape . john then retaliates by shooting his neighbor in the chest while the girls hide in the warehouse , armed with the neighbor ' s gun and a cell phone . they call the police and are saved , though john commits suicide before he can be arrested .\njohn wants revenge , so he hires a male prostitute named nick ( randy blekitas ) to flirt with the girls and get their phone numbers . then the prank ee becomes the prank ster .

however , at the same time it is representative of a considerably different reflexive approach nonetheless . in what follows , i will map the significant ways in which crimson gold tries to bring the realist conventions and norms that are characteristic of social films to the surface in order to show their limitations in a playful way . of course , as we shall see , bringing the conventions to the surface means that the film itself is very much situated within the tradition ; but at the same time , its playfulness and reflexive approach prevents it from being simply reducible to it .\ncrimson gold is more cyclical , socially conscious cinema from the world of panahi and kiarostami . this parable begins at the end when a lonely pizza deliveryman , hussein ( hussein emadeddin ) , shoots himself in the head after a botched jewel heist . the narrative quickly rewinds and panahi observes the simple but devastating events that would slowly squash the man\u2019s human spirit . the genius of kiarostami\u2019s deceptively simple screenplay is how it quietly evokes america\u2019s post - 9 / 11 immigration policy in the repeated embarrassments of the film\u2019s lead . but because crimson gold is also about the oppression of one iranian man by his own people , it\u2019s impossible to write off the film as some knee - jerk anti - american provocation .\nafar panahi ' s new film , crimson gold , climaxes in a jewel heist gone horribly wrong . clamouring at a shop window , the witnesses watch as the jeweller is shot down in cold blood . a moment later , the robber ( and ostensibly the hero of the picture ) turns the gun on himself . the crowd screams and scatters . from up the street comes the wail of sirens .\nif the authorities disliked panahi ' s previous picture ( the circle ) , they positively detest crimson gold . the film is banned in iran and its maker is breaking the law every time he screens it elsewhere . on returning home from the moscow film festival , he was seized at the airport and interrogated for several hours . there was a moment when he wondered if he would ever be allowed to leave .\nof course , it may be argued that , despite its reluctance to appropriate its main character , crimson gold effectively reduces hossein to a mere victim ( a \u2018victim of society / injustice / class differences\u2019 ) . in fact , crimson gold exploits hossein in order to provide the conditions for portraying the dark sides of community : while delivering pizzas , hossein encounters all sorts of people , all of which are the perpetrators or victim of some kind of a social injustice . hossein himself is a victim indeed , and his victimhood is even exacerbated since his job exposes him to the difficult task of witnessing other forms of social injustice that he himself may not be a part of . so in this sense the narrative does provide some motivations for hossein\u2019s suicidal rebellion : after all , he is rebelling against the established order that is relegating him and many others to a state of victimhood .\nin crimson gold , the overall structure of the plot is familiar : the film starts with a climactic situation in which a man , whom we later understand is called hossein , is robbing a jewellery store ; and when his plan goes wrong he commits murder and then kills himself . the plot then flashes back in time , focusing on the characters involved in this initial climactic situation . in this respect , the whole plot could be initially understood as a struggle to describe what has happened prior to the final incident and what has caused the conflict . also , all of the scenes are structured in a classical manner and the montage is quite clearly following the norms of continuity editing . so , unlike close - up , the film is not preoccupied with making visible the different techniques and devices it exploits ; on the contrary , like the classical mode , the style is not obtrusive , not attracting attention to itself while only serving the plot . like many other social films , crimson gold is a realist feature film narrating the life story of an individual who lives on the margins of society . so crimson gold is aimed at achieving the benevolent objectives associated with social films , and in doing so it does intend to convey some messages to its addressees . these characteristics unanimously eventuate in a pleasurable result : the story is more or less familiar , and the way that the story unfolds seems conventional and thus easily graspable . but is crimson gold really a mere reproduction of the dominant cinematic forms that we , as spectators , are familiar with ? the experience of watching this film and a close analysis of it suggest that the film is building on the familiar forms ; more importantly , however , these familiar conventions and expectations are playfully literalized and relocated at the surface of the text .\nevery scene in crimson gold evokes oppression within iran and , much more cunningly , the nasty \u201cyou are either with us or against us\u201d mentality the united states adopted after 9 / 11 . just as hussein\u2019s constant waiting is meant to humorously parallel panahi\u2019s own detainment at jfk , a conversation at the film\u2019s crucial jewelry store more largely references our country\u2019s isolationist mentality ( the store advises hussein to buy iranian gold , not the imported italian kind ) . panahi and kiarostami understand the effects of 9 / 11 on our country\u2019s policies , but when does safeguarding one\u2019s country come at the expense of another\u2019s humiliation ? like one character in the film says : \u201cshow some mercy , please . \u201d\nin close - up , hossain sabzian ( playing himself ) is a poor jobless man who very much loves cinema to the extent that he gets in trouble with the law for impersonating director mohsen makhmalbaf ; while in crimson gold , hussein ( hossain emadeddin ) is a poor pizza delivery worker and a former fighter in the iran - iraq war who is still affected by the injuries of war . both of these characters are among the marginal individuals of iranian society , not only due to their poor conditions of living , but also due to their inability in narrating their own life story and thus in getting their invisible marginal status recognized socially . in this sense , both close - up and crimson gold can be considered as social films that are exclusively dedicated to bearing witness to the unheard life stories of those who suffer , but those whose sufferings are exacerbated due to their limited capacity to make their cry heard .\nin a similar manner , crimson gold puts at its centre a marginal character ; but , unlike the conventional instances , it does not take him for granted and it denies the spectator such transparency . by doing so , crimson gold highlights a very important consideration that is significantly neglected by the conventional features of the social films tradition : the obsessive defamiliarization in the early stages of crimson gold is indeed in accordance with the ethico - political aims of social films ; since defamiliarization inevitably necessitates the existence of such a narrative . that is , narrating and representing someone who is not always already familiar \u2013 someone whose alterity is concealed and thus ungraspable for the moment \u2013 proves its own necessity and ethico - political significance . furthermore , this necessity gains even more significance if we consider it through its intersection with the lack of narrative privilege : hossein is not only unfamiliar but he is also unable to get his unfamiliarity recognized due to his lack of access to the necessary means of self - narration . he is simply a working class man , with no academic or technical skill . he is always numbed by the pills he takes because of the war injuries and accordingly he is even unable to do his simple pizza delivery work without any error . so obviously hossein is not able to use some sort of medium in order to narrate himself and thus the \u2018social film\u2019 undertakes this narration on behalf of him .\nthe cw seems pretty pleased with their efforts , of course . \u201ci hope the fans who treasure the character are as excited as we are by what costume designer colleen atwood has achieved with this latest version of the flash\u2019s iconic suit , \u201d said executive producer david nutter said in their press release . it definitely looks a lot less like the crimson chin from the front like this , so good job there , cw . or bad job , depending on how much you love the crimson chin .\nin revealing this denouement i ' m merely taking my lead from the film itself . the heist scene ( the crowd , the shots , the sirens ) actually plays out during the opening three minutes . everything else is flashback , rewinding to show the drip - drip of humiliations that turn a listless pizza delivery man into a killer with nothing to lose . this makes crimson gold a most unusual breed of crime thriller : back - to - front and curiously weighted .\ntake any human being and you find that his situation is a direct result of his family , his education , his economic position ,\nexplains panahi , an iranian .\nso this thriller is not about the crime itself . it ' s about the background story .\nor to put it another way : the villain of crimson gold is not so much the gunman as the big , cold , uncaring city he lives in . and the fact that this city also happens to be tehran has inevitably caused problems .\nafter the early scenes , the narrative undertakes a simultaneous familiarization and defamiliarization of hossein\u2019s character . with its focus on hossein in his everyday life and interactions before his attempt to rob a jewellery store , crimson gold follows the aforementioned conventional order \u2013 depicting the events that lead to the final climatic situation ; but it is my contention that , once again , such following is accompanied by a great deal of playfulness . for instance , in many cases there is no strictly meaningful link between the scenes and each scene does not inevitably necessitate the one that follows . this unconventional approach disrupts the totality of the narrative in a significant way : each scene more or less plays a part in the whole film , but at the same time each part is not justified by \u2013 and thus is not reducible to \u2013 the totality of the narrative . the spectator , educated by the instrumentality of the realist social films , desires the complete picture in the least possible time with the most possible details ; but crimson gold systematically disrupts such desires .\njafar panahi ' s ' ' crimson gold , ' ' which will be shown at the 41st new york film festival tonight and tomorrow , begins with the armed robbery of a tehran jewelry store , an event captured in one motionless shot as if by a security camera , albeit one that has been set up for artistic effect rather than efficient surveillance . gunshots are exceedingly rare in iranian movies , and the two that are fired in the opening moments reverberate with particular force , even though the crime they aggravate looks banal and amateurish .\nlike many iranian directors , he began making films about children . the popularity of children as subjects stems in part from the existence of state funding for such films . they also serve to steer filmmakers clear of censorship problems that complicate the filming of any domestic or intimate scenes involving adult women . however , after his first two feature films , panahi decided to tackle these complications head on by making the circle , a devastating look at the strictures against women in contemporary iran . this new tone of social critique continued in the unsettling crimson gold .\nat first , i though the main character was going to be a dwarf . this was an exciting concept for me , as i had never read a book with dwarf as the main focus of a story . then he gets killed in the first chapter . tazi is introduced and i really liked her . then she becomes a slave . another dwarf is soon introduced and they sort of team up . this was not what i had expected , but i like the unexpected . the crimson gold is an interesting tale about a young female fighter that gets tangled up in another\nin this sense , crimson gold provides the condition for what we might call \u2018bestowing recognition to the unknowable other\u2019 ; a sort of recognition in which the self must abandon his / her familiar \u2013 but nevertheless \u2018unethical\u2019 \u2013 desires for knowing and grasping the other in a total manner . ( 60 ) crimson gold is denying the spectator his / her conventional expectations for identification with the character , foregrounding a different sense of identification through which he very much remains at a decisive distance : hossein\u2019s liveable life and grievable death is acknowledged through providing him with some kind of a story ; but such a story does not deprive him of his irreplaceable alterity . hossein\u2019s story is very much his , and the film is clearly reluctant in clarifying many ambiguous aspects of his life . it is in this sense that the film works as the \u2018listening eye\u2019 : hossein , as the embodiment of alterity , significantly remains exterior to the grasp of the narrative \u2013 as well as the grasp of the spectator \u2013 since the camera is obsessed with the surfaces and thus resists any determinate psychological \u2013 or even crude sociological \u2013 explanations . his story unfolds in front of our eyes , but his story is always already his and it more or less remains that way .\nat first , i though the main character was going to be a dwarf . this was an exciting concept for me , as i had never read a book with dwarf as the main focus of a story . then he gets killed in the first chapter . tazi is introduced and i really liked her . then she becomes a slave . another dwarf is soon introduced and they sort of team up . this was not what i had expected , but i like the unexpected . the crimson gold is an interesting tale about a young female fighter that gets tangled up in another person ' s war . she has no choice but to be the pawn of the evil wizard . she must not only use her wits to escape the situation , but to also save her new friend . this story moves along at a good pace , but did not have enough action to suit me . when the story focused on ythazz , i always felt a little lost and looked forward to it returning to tazi . still , it is a good story that does not require you reading the first two books in the series . overall , the the crimson gold by voronica whitney - robinson is a nice addition to the forgotten realms world of books . i rated this book a 7 out of 10 .\nafter he leaves the high - rise apartment , hussein returns to the store . we already know much of what will happen now , because\ncrimson gold\nopens with a version of the same scene it closed with . but i will not discuss the opening ( and closing ) because they proceed with a kind of implacable logic . what seems impulsive and reckless at the beginning of the film takes on a certain logic after we have spent some time in hussein ' s company . in his case , still waters run deep and cold . he has been still and implacable for the entire film , but now we understand he was not frozen , but waiting .\ni would ' ve given it 2 stars if it wasn ' t d & d . as a d & d book , it ' s bad . this isn ' t the first book the author has written for d & d so it ' s not just ignorance . and the editor must be blind as well . the crimson gold ? it ' s a sad excuse for a title . the metal in question can be replaced with whatever you wish and it wouldn ' t change a thing , given how minor and unimportant it was to the plot . thazienne the protagonist ? this series is about rogues . but our heroine is a rogue , warrior , military\n\u201cif you want to arrest a thief , you\u2019ll have to arrest the world , \u201d says an armchair philosopher in the film as hussein\u2019s friend ali ( kamyar sheissi ) goes through the contents of a woman\u2019s purse he\u2019s just stolen . tipsy from this conversation about guesswork , entitlement , and cause and effect , ali envisions a world where he can spare himself considerable embarrassment by knowing the contents of a woman\u2019s purse before pinching it . crimson gold is a film largely concerned with the surface of things , and the message of this mystical scene is abundantly clear : just as ali cannot separate the purse from the woman , the united states cannot separate terrorism from the middle eastern man .\nit may be said that crimson gold is withholding explanatory devices in order to elicit responses from the spectator such that he / she might be provoked to actively provide answers for him / herself ( a sort of democratization of spectatorship ) . but this is not the case with crimson gold . on the contrary , the answers are there , and the blanks and gaps can be filled quite easily , in case we are satisfied with general explanations that effectively translate hossein\u2019s particularity and concreteness into abstract terms . however , the interesting point is that such readymade filling , despite its accessibility , is not desirable or even satisfying here . there is something in play that goes beyond the mere act of filling the blanks : what we encounter here is a sort of questioning the very act of \u2018filling\u2019 since filling is decentred as if some kind of a story is not necessarily dependent upon such an act of filling the blanks . so , in a sense , the film is providing the answers like many other social films that are aimed at maximizing communicativeness ; but the point is that , unlike these conventional features , crimson gold is delegitimizing the centrality of answers so that the film gains its affects at a quite different level . the point is not only that such answers seem quite unsatisfying , but also that the act of providing answers \u2013 filling the blanks , as if there is a puzzle to be solved \u2013 loses its edge throughout the film such that the affections of the film are not theoretically grasped even if we strive to provide \u2018better\u2019 answers . despite the fact that , at the surface , the story unfolds in a smoothly linear order , the film effectively denies us the pleasures of such linearity since there is no easy passage from a to b through which we gain a better grasp of hossein , and by which we may imagine a future c and d that could bring us to a much more comprehensive knowledge of him and his life story . the linearity is preserved at the surface , but it is nevertheless trapped in a constant process of being interrupted and negated .\ncrimson gold and close - up are not aimed at treating their central characters in typical ways and , more interestingly , they are not exploiting the familiar narrative devices in order to get them recognized through a familiar channel . crimson gold and close - up are aimed at narrating the invisible while resisting the current ( altericidal ) frameworks of visibility . recognizing the other through the current frameworks that we are used to is indeed reinforcing the presupposed universality of these established frameworks while concealing their undeniably violent particularity and exclusions . so , there would be no ethics , since ethics is understood here as a form of self - interrogation , as a form of stepping back by which the other may find an alternative space for being recognized in his / her alterity and not in his / her reducibility to sameness . what is at stake is putting into question our frameworks for thinking about the human through our encounter with the alterity of the other . but if the other is supposed to fit into these frameworks \u2013 if he / she is brought into a light to the extent that there would be no room left for acknowledging the ambiguity of that which is unrepresentable and that which always remains ambiguously unrepresentable despite our best efforts through our \u2018best\u2019 forms \u2013 then the other is always already in our grasp \u2013always already phrased\u2013 and thus there is no possibility for any meaningful critique \u2013 and thus no meaningful alternative future \u2013 anymore .\nthe success of\ncrimson gold\ndepends to an intriguing degree on the performance of its leading actor , a large , phlegmatic man who embodies the rule that an object at rest will stay at rest until some other force sets it into motion . the character , named hussein and played by hussein emadeddin , is a pizza deliveryman in tehran , iran , heavy - set , tall , undemonstrative . he sits where he sits as if planted there , and when he rides his scooter around the city streets , he doesn ' t lean and dart like most scooter drivers , but seems at one with his machine in implacable motion . when he smokes , he is like an automaton programmed to move the cigarette toward and away from his lips .\ncrimson gold , one of the best films of the year , is absolutely stunning from start to finish . it ' s gritty and captures the essence of the social struggles in iran while consistently delivering messages on the struggles we all face in life regarding love and relationships . it ' s a humanistic film that is extremely subtle , which turned off several viewers ( as does taxi driver , one of my all - time favorites ) . jafar panahi ' s slow pacing doesn ' t allow the film to go into incoherent territory , but again , some viewers may be turned off by this . the pacing is really what allows the messages to set in and provoke the viewers thoughts . it ' s worth every second of your time , don ' t miss this gem . 9 / 10\nmr . kiarostami , the lion of contemporary iranian art cinema , and mr . panahi , who has established himself with ' ' the white balloon ' ' and ' ' the circle ' ' as one of iran ' s leading urban filmmakers , set out to explain what drove the robber , a pizza deliveryman and a veteran of the iran - iraq war , to his desperate , self - destructive act of violence . the answer is not altogether surprising , and at times ' ' crimson gold ' ' exhibits a finger - pointing didacticism as it exposes the cruelties and inequities of a society sharply polarized by class and corrupted by selfishness , snobbery and cynicism . but the occasional obviousness of the film ' s themes is more than balanced by the subtlety of its methods , and by the stolid , irreducible individuality of its protagonist , hussein .\npanahi is keen to stress that he ' s not a political person , merely a man interested in social issues . he admits , however , that the two have a tendency to blur . where the circle was interpreted as a passionate condemnation of women ' s status in iran , crimson gold spotlights what appears to be a crisis of masculinity in the country ' s underclass . full of rage and self - loathing , hossain emadeddin ' s overweight pizza man can be read as the symbol of a wider malaise . his rides across tehran carry him from penthouse to pavement , from the miserable teenage soldiers staking out a decadent party to the lonesome playboy adrift in his parents ' apartment . during his time off , he tries to buy an expensive pair of earrings for his fiancee . appraising his shabby suit , the jeweller suggests he pick up something cheaper from the local bazaar .\nat least one might assume that the shoot went smoothly . not so , however . on the contrary , the making of crimson gold sounds like a nightmare . watching the film , i was struck by emadeddin ' s charged , minimalist performance in the leading role , blithely filing him as some veteran mainstay of iranian movies . instead , it turns out that emadeddin is a real - life pizza - delivery man , and a paranoid schizophrenic to boot .\nwe knew he was a schizophrenic in advance , so we knew he would be difficult to work with ,\npanahi says .\nbut i had no idea that it was going to be that difficult . on several occasions i was tempted to stop shooting and simply abandon the entire project .\nmore than once he found himself half - wishing that emadeddin would fall off his moped and solve everyone ' s problems .\nin the final scene , hossein finds a very rare occasion for exploring the lifestyle of a very rich man when he is unusually invited by that man to join him in eating pizza : hossein explores the house ; he drinks from the expensive bottles of wine ; he dives in the private swimming pool and so on . but he is still so expressionless and we are not allowed to clearly know what he is thinking . he rebels after this scene and obviously his rebellion is motivated by this rare encounter with the luxurious living conditions of the rich people of his community . but his recurrent and memorable expressionless face prevents us from reducing him to any a priori and readymade framework . in this sense , crimson gold simultaneously exploits and moves beyond the conventional narratives , since it foregrounds certain expectations , but it does not provide answers in a determinate manner . not only is hossein not comprehensively familiarized , but his familiarization is endlessly deferred .\nwhen lucille finally sees a ghost , it\u2019s like a piece of the past she can\u2019t simply dismiss ( as she does her dead mother ) . it\u2019s the ultimate ironic punishment , and a brilliant comeuppance . but it\u2019s also a powerful moment , because it\u2019s a sudden change in the way things have worked in the movie up to now . crimson peak doesn\u2019t have a big secret or a clever reveal at its heart\u2014instead , it has something darker and maybe even more fascinating .\nthe big innovation in crimson peak , other than its insane visuals , is how it uses the supernatural . the movie is full of ghosts , but they\u2019re entirely benevolent\u2014or at least , they\u2019re entirely on edith\u2019s side . edith , from childhood , has had the power to see ghosts , including her own dead mother , and when she gets to allerdale hall , she\u2019s able to see all of the ghosts in the house , including thomas and lucille\u2019s mother , but also all of their victims .\nthe basic plot of crimson peak is , indeed , very simple . edith cushing ( mia wasikowska ) marries thomas sharpe ( tom hiddleston ) and goes to live in his decaying family mansion in bleakest blighty , a place where even the ground bleeds . but soon edith realizes she\u2019s made a mistake . thomas and his sister lucille ( jessica chastain ) have murdered all of thomas\u2019 previous wives , and she\u2019s next . the plot is basically edith surviving , along with thomas having a slight change of heart .\non the contrary , my argument is that \u2018alternative and progressive social films\u2019 are those which , unlike the conventional realist features , considerably take into account the difficulties and risks in establishing a cinema based on alterity . progressive social films , including close - up and crimson gold , are not solely concerned with what the characters and events are supposed to represent ( the so - called content ) ; but , more importantly , are focused on \u2018how the image is framed and shot , and which generic conventions it engages , distorts or challenges\u2019 . in this respect , by focusing on the \u2018mediations which intervene between representation and reality\u2019 ( 62 ) , these films make explicit \u2018how the history of meaning - making in images carries internalized norms and exclusions that can be challenged by dissident representations\u2019 . ( 63 ) progressive social films , inspired by the ethics of alterity , are not simply in favour of \u2018affirmative\u2019 struggles ; but , more importantly , they critically interrogate their own tradition through denaturalizing and thus revealing its altericidal visions .\nhe has a friend named ali ( kamyar sheissi ) . we meet ali for the first time in a tea house , where he produces a purse he has just found . its contents are disappointing - - a broken gold ring . another man overhears their conversation , assumes they stole the purse and delivers a little lecture on the morality of theft . he believes the rewards should suit the crime ; you should not put your targets through a great deal of suffering just to relieve them of pocket change .\nwhen he leaves the apartment , he goes directly to a jewelry store that he and ali had visited twice before . the first time , they wanted to get a price on the gold ring , and were treated rudely and with suspicion by the store owner and guard . returning , wearing ties and with ali ' s sister along , they said they were shopping for a wedding ring - - but were treated rudely again ; it is a high - end store and they look like low - end people .\nin this linear narrative , seen as the film\u2019s limitation by a critic , next enters omid , a seller of illegal dvds . omid was in the backseat when the first scene unfolded . he recognises panahi and his memory proves to be sharper than the filmmaker\u2019s . omid is no ordinary dvd seller . not only does he remember the dvds he gave panahi\u2019s son , a film buff , but also caught panahi\u2019s apparently clandestine act of filming taxi in public . this he does by relating a line spoken by a pickpocket from the caf\u00e9 scene in panahi\u2019s crimson gold . omid does not sound like a man who simply sells dvds for a living . it is obvious he has an insatiable passion for cinema . and like all good film buffs in the world , his cinematic memory is quick to catch a scene with the slightest reference from an earlier film . omid is a man who takes real risks to keep the culture of alternative cinema afloat in tehran . no wonder a critic likens him to \u201ca genuine hero of samizdat distribution\u201d .\nall of which spells good news for panahi . but the fact remains that the director is a pariah in his homeland . he is being celebrated at festivals around the globe - crimson gold won the un certain regard award at cannes earlier this year - and getting arrested when he flies back to tehran . he is making iranian films about iranian life that iranians themselves are forbidden to see . panahi admits that this is frustrating .\nbefore anything else i want my film to show in iran . but the good thing is that if the film is successful outside iran , it will eventually be saved . it gets smuggled in on video or satellite tv and once that happens my compatriots can see it . and anyway , history has shown that , even if a film has been stopped or forbidden or buried , it never really dies .\nwith that , he sits back , lights a cigarette and gives a smile that would shame the sphinx .\nthe system can ' t last for ever ,\nhe says .\ni can wait .\nin this respect , i will map the embodiment of the listening eye in and against the conventional tradition of social films through my case - studies , asking how these distinctive instances foreground a non - instrumental approach to cinema in which the film\u2019s encounter with the other is not reducible to an altericidal relation comprised of a manipulating subject and its manipulated object ; but in which the underrepresented other is represented in a way that the dynamics of subordination - dominance is disturbed and the realist tradition of social films is problematized . in particular , i will show how close - up foregrounds a unique cinematic hospitality towards the other by contesting the narrative and stylistic features of realist fiction films and by introducing a different conception \u2013 i will argue , a more sophisticated conception \u2013 of realism based on a reflexive approach to pro - filmic reality . furthermore , i will map how crimson gold plays with realism by bringing its conventions and characteristics to the surface in a reflexive manner and thus providing the conditions for excesses to the extent that effectively overflow the realist economy of social films . ( 47 )\nfinally , in order to articulate my argument in a concrete manner , i will undertake close analysis of close - up ( 6 ) and crimson gold ( 7 ) , two of the major self - reflexive social films that rework the realist aesthetic that is characteristic of the tradition in order to take critical positions against the oppressive aspects of this cinema , while arguing that these cinematic narratives resonate with the idea of the \u2018listening eye\u2019 . according to emmanuel levinas , the \u2018listening eye\u2019 is \u2018concerned about and listens to the other\u2019s story which always has to remain , to some extent , theirs\u2019 ( 8 ) ; a sort of bestowing recognition on the unknowable other that disrupts the reduction of him / her to something simply representable and communicable that is always already subordinated to the representational powers of the self . the listening eye listens , since it is concerned less with \u2018seeing\u2019 than \u2018listening\u2019 ( 9 ) and since it listens to some kind of a story without rendering that story intelligible through the readymade frameworks of intelligibility . the listening eye breaks with the subject - object tradition through \u2018a suspension of judgment and morality\u2019 ( 10 ) ; but as we shall see , this break is not made possible unless the \u2018eye\u2019 accepts its embedding in this tradition and thus interrogates its habitualised altericidal visions .\nthis argument against the pathological aspects of crimson gold seems cogent ; however , it effectively neglects the overall approach of the narrative to hossein\u2019s character . as mentioned before , the film is focused on hossein in his very ordinary moments of life , but these moments do not reveal much about him . many of the scenes show hossein on his motorcycle going from one place to another . due to their recurrences , these extensive shots and scenes become a major stylistic aspect of the film and eventually provide the conditions for the possibility of a unique cinematic excess ( 58 ) : not only do we see hossein in his most ordinary moments , but we also see him while he is simply there , without any justification or any significant meaning and narrative function . he is always ambiguous and his reactions are far beyond clear . he often rejects his fianc\u00e9 , but at the same time he is worried about her well - being . he is humiliated by those who treat him as a peasant , but his reactions are not determinate . he is often numbed and silent ( 59 ) , and there is no significant physical or facial expression through which his interior feelings and thoughts might be conveyed . but nevertheless he is onscreen , conducting a life that may be strangely opaque but is a life on its own terms nonetheless .\nas tasha robinson wrote in io9 last week , the theme of crimson peak , as with other guillermo del toro films , is escaping from the past . in the case of thomas and lucille , they\u2019re trapped with this terrible old house that\u2019s the literal embodiment of history and its claims on them . their schemes to keep marrying and killing young women are a desperate attempt to move forward in spite of all the dead weight they\u2019re tied to , so that thomas can build his amazing new machine . edith survives because she has a greater sensitivity to the past ( in spite of coming from america , the land of newness ) than thomas and lucille do .\nunfortunately the characters are seldom very relatable , and as a result the reading experience feels very distant and unemotional . tika , for example , is repeatedly mentioned in waman\u2019s thoughts and memories , but very little is actually revealed about her personality . despite the fact that waman sees her as one of his main motivations to return home , she remains very one - dimensional . pizarro is more developed as a character , but whether he should be sympathized with or seen as despicable is not considered in a way that invokes a deeper layer of meaning . while sometimes a lack of obvious protagonists and antagonists can make a novel thought - provoking , it makes \u201cgold eaters\u201d difficult to fully engage with .\nwright devotes a great portion of the novel to creating a colorful setting of peru during the early 1500s , but he does so at the expense of his plot . the novel tells a somewhat cliche adventure and homecoming story through the eyes of waman , a young provincial from the incan empire who runs away from home shortly after coming of age . he is soon violently captured by spaniards and is forced to become francisco pizarro\u2019s interpreter . the novel mainly follows waman\u2019s journeys with the spaniards , as they attempt to colonize the incan empire and search the land for gold . waman is exposed to a new culture and language and must choose to defend his own while trying to find his way home . the story meanwhile follows waman\u2019s family and some of the other spanish colonizers settling in the land . the plot is more or less straightforward and predictable . its concept provides many opportunities for depth and surprise , but wright\u2019s adherence to historical fact seems to handicap his fictional license .\njafar panahi ' s film about a psychotic pizza delivery man won praise worldwide - and got him arrested . he talks to xan brooks\non completing the film , panahi was obliged to have it vetted by a body with the wonderfully orwellian title of the ministry of guidance . predictably , they hated it .\nmaybe they expect me to do advertisements or pro - government films ,\nhe shrugs .\nthey think that anyone who is independent or not following their views is a spy of the west . paid by the west . spreading western propaganda .\nbut here ' s the dilemma . in a sense , panahi is paid by the west . his films are buttressed by french and italian production money . it ' s the only way he can make movies free from government interference , and it places him in a catch - 22 situation .\ni always start a film in my own country with my own money ,\nhe says .\nand halfway through i sell the production rights to foreign companies . this enables me to finish the film . it ' s the only option i have .\nthe ministry finally agreed to release it if he agreed to a number of cuts . these ranged from overhauling an entire 17 - minute scene to the removal of a derogatory reference to a brand of cigarettes . panahi refused , hence the ban .\nhalf of his problems were made by him on purpose . it was deliberate destructiveness . other times it was unconscious and came out of his own instability . hossein was very paranoid . he thought everyone was plotting against him . so he would smash up the set , get on his bike and just go home . and i would have to go to his house and reason with him . he would tell me that everyone on set was a neo - nazi . he thought that some of the crew were le pen supporters who had flown in from france on a mission to murder him .\nhow did panahi manage to coax a performance out of him ?\noh i don ' t know . i would give him the approximation of what i wanted . then he would do half of what i wanted and the rest what he wanted . he didn ' t always listen .\none might say that panahi ' s love of the movies was born out of crime , or at least of bending the rules to his advantage . he studied at the tehran college of cinema and tv in the aftermath of the 1979 revolution . wangling a post in the university ' s film archive , he gained access to the pictures that were banned under the ayatollah ' s regime . panahi would run the projector himself and sit up all night watching alfred hitchcock movies . when i ask which hitchcocks he especially liked , he struggles to provide the titles :\nthey change the names in iran . i don ' t know the exact translations .\nwhen pressed , he refers to a film called spirit , which could be spellbound , and another called the crazy man , which surely has to be psycho ( although the title rather gives the game away ) .\nwhen i made my first short i wanted nothing more than to imitate hitchcock . but the film i made was so cold and artificial that it had no soul to it at all . so i knew i had to go another way ."]}

[ ends slang ] sorry ! i can\u2019t help it !\ncm : it was pretty cool to be the main player voice in that game ( the ship ) . it was so much fun to just create characters and have fun with accents . i made a demo reel and sent it to a couple agencies and signed up for an online internet voice subscription site . i started to get some work there , and before i knew it i was doing commercials for comcast , even working with warner bros . and walden media .\nlawrence shapiro : yeah , they barely spoke english so it wasn\u2019t like they knew a word of what john was saying , but literally through a different language , they recognized john from his voice . john and i went off and were like , \u201cyou know , this is a really important subject that everyone clearly cares about across the world that no one has thought to cover , really . \u201d\nfans have so eagerly awaited the film\u2019s release that the \u201ci know that voice\u201d team launched a summer cartoon voice imitation contest to satiate their cartoon enthusiasts . the national press club in washington , dc will be hosting the east coast premiere of the film on november 8 , 2013 . dimaggio will be on hand to introduce the film . following the screening there will be a meet - and - greet with dimaggio . details on attending the event are available here : urltoken .\ndiabolique : aside from many actors who are known reputably as voice actors , you also feature many voice actors who have had prolific on - screen careers , such as mark hamill , hank azaria , stephen root and tom kenny . while preparing this documentary , was there ever a concern that you might alienate the less prolific voice actors by featuring these talents or is the voice acting community more ingratiated and understanding in that regards ?\nfrom executive producer , john di maggio in association with dundee entertainment and cinovative , comes a documentary on the mysterious world of\nvoice over & voice acting .\nwe have collected the top voice actors , voice directors , casting voice directors , video game producers , animators , creators , agents , producers , engineers , mixers , dialogue editors , voice teachers , voice school and all those involved in the booming voice - over industry . this is a must see documentary for anyone that wants to know what goes on behind the scenes in your favorite cartoons , animations , and anything to do with voice acting . this is the first trailer , as we are still in production on this obtaining more quality interviews for our fans and supporters . like us on facebook for updates and behind the scenes photos . for full cast info please check urltoken as we are adding new talent constantly .\ngreat voice cast ! hopefully it does not require further delay of its launch .\n\u201cwe are thrilled to partner with charity : water and american cinematheque for the debut of this film , \u201d said \u201ci know that voice\u201d producer tommy reid . \u201cour fans and supporters have already contributed more than $ 10 , 000 to this cause . it\u2019s incredible to see how much of an impact these amazing actors have made on people across the world . \u201d\nexplained that the original film had over 150 interviews and over 160 hours of film . looking back he wished that more people had been able to make it into the film , like well - known voice actor troy baker .\nthat ' s a very nice cast list , now i can ' t wait for people to make jonathan joestar memes with johannes . : p\nshapiro : i\u2019d say that down the line , there\u2019s a strong possibility that you may be seeing something on the web , possibly like a series of less - cut - down interviews where you can get more in depth with the people we interviewed and the stories that they told . we\u2019re not committing to that just yet , but keep your eyes open though .\ndimaggio : i don\u2019t think it\u2019s a matter of comfort . people do what they do by choice , so i don\u2019t really know it\u2019s a matter of people being comfortable in front of the camera . i think it\u2019s a matter of doing the work that\u2019s available to you and then striving in it . if you realized how hard it is to get a job in the entertainment industry , and you were working prolifically in voice over and you can work doing on camera stuff here and there , it has nothing to do with being worried about how you look on camera . it\u2019s about the work and you do the work that is available to you . these actors are that good that they\u2019re able to do the voiceover stuff . it\u2019s hard .\nyou might thing that kids would love to see who plays their favorite characters , but many of the voice actors admitted that it\u2019s hard to perform their signature voices for children . blum openly admitted \u201ci scare children\u201d and north recounted a story of scaring a child in a toy shop by using his characters voice for a child buying an action figure . baker recalled trying to read the hobbit to his daughter , who hated his use of funny voices and insisted he use his natural voice .\nand yet , for all this time , the fact that there\u2019s been so many documentaries about the entertainment industry yet virtually none about the world of voice acting is somewhat of an enigma . for a side of entertainment that largely remains in shadows , getting glimpses here and there at the occasional convention circuit or social media feed , it took one of the industry\u2019s finest to bring it to light . voiceover veteran and producer / narrator john dimaggio , producer tommy reid and co - producer / director lawrence shapiro have crafted i know that voice , the definitive documentary on the wide world of voiceover through the testimonies and perspectives of the people that know it best . dimaggio , best known to the world as the voice of bender on futurama and jake on adventure time , offers a genuine yet hilarious take on the art form from which he\u2019s become an icon , and alongside director shapiro , spoke to diabolique about the documentary , the craft of voiceover and keeping up with an ever - growing industry\u2026\ndimaggio : not at all . that did not come into play at all .\na lot of people think that it\u2019s easy to just go and talk in front of a microphone and that\u2019s not the case . you\u2019re not just talking , you\u2019re acting . you\u2019re acting in front of a microphone as opposed to a camera . it\u2019s a lot more specific of a technique than most people think . it\u2019s not , \u201coh , do a silly voice ! \u201d try doing a silly voice for four hours , then take a lunch break , and then do another silly voice for four hours . it\u2019s not easy , especially because it\u2019s about the acting . so i think that mindset is a little off .\ndimaggio : [ those actors ] are a part of the community . they\u2019re a part of us . they know how great this line of work is . clancy brown , too ! you forgot to mention clancy brown . but that didn\u2019t matter .\njohn dimaggio : well , larry and i were in amsterdam for a project called jam in the dam . i was there seeing it and larry was shooting it , and there were a bunch of jam bands , like umphrey\u2019s mcgee and the yonder mountain string band . so we were there , and i was on stage , and i started doing bender , and when i whipped out the voice , larry saw four german tourists lose their mind . they were like , \u201coh my god , that\u2019s the guy who does bender ! \u201d except it was more like , [ thick german accent ] \u201coh mein gott , that is the guy that does the bender ! \u201d so they freaked out and larry was like , \u201cdude , this is incredible , man . \u201d\ni see a lot of veterans here . you spared no expense on your voice acting from the japanese side . here ' s to hoping the english ones are just as good .\ni don\u2019t see any reason there wouldn\u2019t be a language option unless the english dialog hasn\u2019t been recorded by the time the game ships . that\u2019s a pretty standard feature these days\ndimaggio : we had 160 hours of footage that we\u2019ve edited down to 95 minutes .\nshapiro : i think [ that mystique ] has already been broken through social media and whatnot . these people were just happy to set the record straight in their own words .\ndiabolique : you feature a cavalcade of voice actors in this documentary , some of whom rarely get time in the spotlight when they\u2019re not speaking or putting on a voice . did you find that these actors approached the project nervously or were maybe intimidated by the prospect of appearing on - camera ?\nso the team managed to get okiayu - san along for the ride , i see .\ngreat , great , great casting . i assume we ' ll have the choice to use either the original japanese or an english dub ? i like the japanese dubs better , ususally .\nmami ' s voice actress is voicing dominique ? well , don ' t lose your head over the news guys , but i think this tells us dominique ' s story isn ' t ending happily .\nshapiro : yeah , we had over 150 interviews that were all at least an hour long .\ngreat choices all around i think , can ' t wait to see who you cast in english .\ndiabolique : voice acting over the years has become a very in - demand art form over the past two decades , especially with the prominent world of video gaming and digital animation . when making this documentary , did you aim to tell a more intimate story about these voice actors or were you more interested in showing the world of voice acting at large ?\nshapiro : i would say the most interesting thing was to get these points of view from all of these people who are all these artists . a narrative would have been something we constructed but i wanted to inform , and you can\u2019t inform better than getting the point - of - view from the people who actually do voice acting .\ndimaggio : yeah , we got ed asner for crying out loud ! the guy is a legend . there are people in the voiceover industry are so tight that if somebody does on - screen work , it\u2019s great ! everybody cheers them on . nobody is like , \u201cgod , i wish i had that ! waaaah ! \u201d if they are , they don\u2019t show it . i don\u2019t think having on - screen talent had any negative effect on the project . once you\u2019re a part of the community , you\u2019re a part of what we do .\nshapiro : i would also say that the outlets of changed with web series and video games and whatnot , the craft itself goes to radio and before so it\u2019s a timeless art form with more than two ways of expressing it .\ni thought david hayter was also in it ? or is there an english dub which he will be in instead .\nnot at all . everyone jumped at the chance . the only people who didn\u2019t want to do [ the documentary ] were frank welker , because he\u2019s our god and he doesn\u2019t have to do it , and tress macneille , who agreed to appear in the film but didn\u2019t want to get interviewed . she was like , \u201ci don\u2019t know , \u201d but everyone for the most part were not modest . they\u2019re all willing to talk about the art form [ of voice acting . ]\n3 . how would you describe your experience with rockstar games ? cm : i ' ve had a good relationship with rockstar games for half my life now . they invite me to nyc to play their games early on . i showed up post - transition and they didn ' t bat an eye . i mean i can ' t speak for everyone who works there , the company as a whole has been very good to me . grand theft auto is a game where everything and everyone is characterized , including themselves . so since they parody everything , not just trans or lgbt concepts specifically , i don ' t believe that they are transphobic or anti - lgbt by any means . rockstar is awesome .\nexecutive producer and voice actor john dimaggio looks forward to meeting fans at the red carpet world premiere . \u201cwe love our fans so much that we\u2019re actually going to lift the red ropes , and invite them to come schmooze , dine and celebrate with us before and after the event in support of this awesome cause and debut of a what i call \u2018a valentine to my peers , \u2019\u201d dimaggio stated .\nso , in any case , he ' s probably going to be voicing the same character that robbie belgrade will be voicing .\nthe urltoken blog is your news , arts , entertainment website . we provide you with the latest news and videos straight from the voice - over industry .\nsomeone catch me up . is iga going to be a secret boss in the game ? if he is hope he does his own voice over lol .\nwith so many characters in the room , things got out of hand quickly . the panel quickly dissolved into lots of character voices , impressions , and animal sounds , much to the delight of the audience . north explained that one of his favorite things is being recognized for his voice instead of his face . \u201cit means someone has taken that extra step , and it means so much more to me than any on camera stuff . \u201d\ndimaggio : basically , all the time that was spent doing interviews was repeated . at times , it lagged on but by the end , we felt we had what we needed . so we\u2019re just anxious to have it be out and have people see it . at least i am , for sure .\non american netflix . details include the date it was added to netflix in the usa , any known expiry dates and new episodes / seasons , the ratings and cast etc . so scroll down for more information or share the link on social media to let your friends know what you ' re watching .\nfor that matter , your between - updates options have never been better : if you haven ' t been visiting the bloodstained forums and the bloodstained discord , you ' re missing direct access to 505 games ' own angel - corlux . ( a couple of us from the kickstarter team at fangamer finally got to meet him [ and mana ] at pax west this year , and i can confirm that he is somehow even more enthusiastic about bloodstained in person . )\nthey\u2019re all willing to talk about their work , and they don\u2019t have to talk about themselves . they enjoy talking about their part of acting and they don\u2019t need as much coddling and applause as most actors these days do . there\u2019s a camaraderie amongst the voice acting community that you won\u2019t find in other parts of the business . so that was very interesting and that helped word of mouth in terms of trying to get people to appear in the film . since we started asking people , agents started calling us . \u201chey , we heard you were doing a film . would you like to talk to this person or this person ? \u201d so people just came out of the woodwork .\nthanks for the update ! interesting set of actors , can ' t wait to hear them . i got a fresh new laptop for bloodstaines , the hype is real !\ndiabolique : lawrence , this is second directorial documentary project , following jam in the dam . what do you think it is about documentary filmmaking that matches your sensibilities as a storyteller ?\nshapiro : basically the latter . we pretty much wanted to cover the world at large of voice acting and show it as a whole so you can get an idea of what this unknown universe is all about .\nfans in the midwest will have the opportunity to experience the groundbreaking voice -

tier seiyuu . now i have to play both the english and japanese version .\nshapiro : well , i really got my start doing a lot of music related documentaries and i wanted do go more towards a storytelling route . there\u2019s such a beautiful audio quality for this whole art form so it seemed like such a natural progression to go into a subgenre like voiceover . plus , knowing somebody who is as amazingly talented as john really helps motivate you to try to cover such a subject .\nwere you able to predict any of the voice actors ? one of them is for a character you haven ' t quite met yet . . . we ' ll be telling you more about him soon , so stay tuned . - iga\nshapiro : i say it was a pretty daunting task to cover what we had covered , so we wanted to keep our eyes on the prizes and focus on what we had covered before looking on to the next project .\nowner and operator of gtagaming . com , professional transgender voice actress casey mongillo oversees a fan base with hundreds of thousands of grand theft auto enthusiasts . if you play video games , you might recognize her voice best from titles like heroes of newerth , the ship , star trek online , or the red dead redemption series . her website , which offers tips for players of the controversial video game grand theft auto has been up and running since 2001 , with a facebook page holding a little over three hundred and eighty five thousand followers . mongillo has since maintained a plush relationship with rockstar games , and sings praises for the brand despite initial criticisms gta v faced upon release from several liberal media outlets . i sat down with mongillo , for a back and forth .\ndiabolique : john , you\u2019ve been a voice actor for almost 20 years now , and many of your personal friends and colleagues appear in this project . as the executive producer , was it important for you to remain objective to the subjects of the documentary , even including yourself ?\ndimaggio : it\u2019s growing every day . it\u2019s growing every single day and there\u2019s more people trying to get into it because if you can get your foot in that door , it can be lucrative . it\u2019s not multi - millions of dollars lucrative , but it\u2019s a fine living lucrative . it\u2019s a comfortable and good living , so once you get one voice acting job , you don\u2019t want to stop . so there\u2019s always people finding out about voiceover every day and how amazing it is , how much fun it can be , and how it satiates your desire for crafting a character as an actor .\nshapiro : for sure , every interview has that . every person was a master class interview , really . all we did was distill the best nuggets , but when you walk away from the film , you pretty much have an incredible view of this world and the serious depth to it .\ncomic book buffs , animation junkies and anyone who has ever loved cartoons but are unable to attend the world premiere will be offered exclusive access to view the film on vutopia from december 1 -

i could do this very impressionistic translation , i could do something very wacky , i could do something very political , gender driven\u2019 . i was thinking \u2018where else can it go ? \u2019 , and one way was where the translations are part of a narrative and enact the narrative yet remain , for the most part , what you would call translation rather than version or imitation although there are some of those in the book . i think that that is actually one of the most subversive things : translation per se .\nthe biggest challenge actually i think is : \u2018how do you make this accessible without lots of notes or head quotes ? \u2019 . that , i think , is one of the hardest things . it ' s interesting , in the last edition of modern poetry for translation they published one [ of the new sequence ] with no note at all . and also agenda , another poetry volume , has published two or three recently with no note at all , just a little head quote from a historian or something that explains what ' s going on . but i think that ' s quite difficult to do so i ' m sort of working through that . the whole concept of framing is very interesting and important , i think . with the word for sorrow some of the critics , poetry critics , as opposed to classicists , did not like the fact that there was a preface and notes . they felt that this poetry should not be explained and if you need to put a preface in then the poem isn ' t working .\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 .\nas well as that , yesterday & apos ; s announcement also confirm the return of major players like james mcavoy , michael fassbender , and jennifer lawrence , whose participation seemed in the balance for a while . if that & apos ; s not enough , jessica chastain is reportedly close to sign on as the film & apos ; s villain . for those who slept on the underrated crimson peak last year , this is great news . she & apos ; s a great , flamboyant baddie , and would be a great addition to the universe .\njb : definitely . but i wonder how , now that tristia ' s been subsumed back into the mainstream , how women will be relating to it in the future and i think that will be very interesting because the relationship of women with catullus is very much more difficult .\nprincesse passes a flirtatious drunk watching cockfights on her way to visit catherine , a foreign painter . princesse poses nude while catherine paints and talks about art . princesse feels uncomfortable at first , but as long as no one else can see her , she relaxes . sometimes catherine paints her outdoors , wearing clothes . when catherine\u2019s mentor dies , catherine goes to paris without telling princesse . when she returns , she gives princesses a nude painting of her by the ocean . princesse is inspired to create art herself and sketches the cockfight - watching drunk in the sand .\nvery intelligently written but no in a way that makes you feel stupid . i sometimes find authors try to be too clever for their own good when trying to portray scenes and stories , but this book suffers none of these issues . brilliant story telling about some rather murky subjects !\njb : yes it is . this was the point where the dictionary started to appear as a character . i mean it was already but suddenly there was another thread coming in , the idea of using a gloss in a poetic way , or a definition in a poetic way . . . because that ' s what we ' re doing all the time and you have to have a creative relationship with your dictionary as much as anything . it ' s like anne carson\u2019s nox . i hadn ' t actually read nox at that stage - , i don ' t think actually it was out - but when you read it you think :\noh , these [ definitions ] are [ from ] lewis and short or the latin dictionary or whatever and then you realise that they ' re not at all . i very much admired that .\njb : that ' s very true . i mean there ' s quite a lot written in translation studies about how women deal with translating texts that are anti - women and whether your aim is to subvert them . or is the mere act of translating them and then revoicing through a woman ' s voice , as a transvestite , almost a transgender approach , is that subverting it in itself ? or whether you do something with the text that is , perhaps in a very subtle way , subverting it . so there ' s quite a lot of discussion about that .\nfc : i was really interested as well in the last pairing where you ' ve got the passage from tristia 4 . 9 about being read from sunrise to sunset , dawn to dusk , east to west , paired with this comment from the voices of gallipoli where the memories are fading . it was a very striking way to end a book that ' s all about memories surviving and the power of memory . in fact , ovid has survived in the most surprising ways and you write really beautifully about the serendipity of survival . the fact of finding this book in a village fete - a whole project flourished from that .\njb : i think so , yes . it is , very much so . there ' s that element about it and there ' s also the element that the narrator , the poet ' s \u2018i\u2019 , seems very real , doesn ' t it ?

( french , spanish dialogue )\nsuitable only for little old ladies and hallyday lovers , this baffling blend of genres begins as a romance ( the first buds of spring ) , shifts into family melodrama ( hot summer nights ) and ends quite unexpectedly with a murder mystery ( one that resolves itself in the dead of winter ) . there\u2019s even a bastille day bank heist along the way , though the details are mentioned only in passing \u2014 a shame , since it sounds considerably more engaging than the warm - and - fuzzy business in the foreground .\nthen kaminsky\u2019s best friend / personal doctor ( eddy mitchell ) shows up , instantly diagnoses the situation and decides to bend the truth , telling the four daughters that their father is dying \u2014 a ploy that successfully compels them to visit , while creating considerable anxiety all around . is papa really sick ? if not , how should he break the news that they came under false pretenses ? dramatically , fireworks should follow , but here they occur beforehand ( only literally , alas , with a big bastille day show ) .\nas the girls arrive by car , taxi and helicopter \u2014 the youngest , hiver ( jenna thiam ) , even hitchhikes , getting a ride with a black perfume salesman whom the film politely invites to stay , then promptly forgets about \u2014 kaminsky silently notes how they have grown into successful , independent women , especially the eldest , printemps ( irene jacob ) , who is nearly nathalie\u2019s age . meanwhile , instead of being assertive about their feelings or honest about how screwed up they are from having a serial womanizer for a dad , they instantly go in for the group hug \u2014 an impulse totally in keeping with the pic\u2019s easy - listening soundtrack , which seems better suited to a dreary hotel bar .\ninspired at least in part by his own life , lelouch has seven daughters , the first few of which were also spaced roughly seven years apart . perhaps that\u2019s why the film so gently sides with kaminsky , rather than whatever his offspring must be feeling , especially just after dad drops his bombshell . automne ( sarah kazemy , the weakest of the four ) throws a small fit , but it blows over quickly , and as the girls inexplicably unwind half - naked in a nearby waterfall , lelouch pulls a cruel trick , killing off one of the main characters \u2014 a misstep from which the story never recovers . the bastard !\nreviewed at ugc cine cite les halles , april 2 , 2014 .

he thought i was telling him to do the precise opposite of what i actually advised .\nwell , if the book honestly does contain elements that would render it less marketable , and those elements are not so critical to the story arc or nf argument that they did not trigger rejection all by themselves , this writer is probably right : it would be a good agent\u2019s job to advise him how to maximize the book\u2019s marketability . writers do , after all , seek out agents because of the latter\u2019s expertise in selling books to publishing houses , right ?\n; so all you need to do is look at what classes you want , and add up the numbers next to them . then use that number below .\nbut she did not have two years ; she had six months . and grace had , as acquiring editors of nonfiction so often do , asked for a few changes to the book\u2019s proposed running order . as well as some minor tweaks to the voice .\nand having written this blog post , i now feel better . not great , but better .\ni see this as a minor convenience for the gm , not something that adventures desperately need .\nwell - meaning folks sometimes say , \u201cwell , look at what others are dealing with ?

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

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

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

quickie , is certainly no colonel blimp or matter of life and death , but then again was never meant to be . if you don ' t expect a masterpiece and especially if you enjoy such vintage british films anyway ( like me ) then the phantom light is actually surprisingly good and bears up well against other similar british fare of the period .\nduring radiation therapy with an ion beam , the production of secondary particles like neutrons , protons and heavier ions contribute to the dose delivered to tumour and healthy tissues outside the treated volume . also , the secondary particles leaving the patient are of interest for radiation background around the ion -

chairman of the board of broadcast governors ( bbg ) . in 1968 , the canadian radio - television commission ( crtc ) replaced the bbg and juneau was named its first chairman . he held this position until 1975 . as crtc chairman , juneau is best remembered for promoting canadian content regulations in radio , television and cable . these regulations , often referred to as cancon , helped create a domestic market for canadian music and television programs .\njuneau\u2019s long career fighting for canadian musicians , actors and artists began when he joined the national film board in 1949 eventually moving up to become head of french content .\n. \u2019\u201d when bassett threatened to go over his head to juneau , frenken told him , \u201cgo right ahead . you won\u2019t get a different answer from him . \u201d\nn 1820 solomon juneau married josette , the metis daughter of jacques vieau , a fur trader who had built a trading post overlooking the menomonee valley years before . josette was the oldest of 12 children , and she was menominee and french by ancestry . [ 5 ] through her alliances to the tribe , and the relationships fostered through juneau ' s business in fur trading , it is reported that he was popular with the menominee . [ 6 ] after the treaty of 1848 between the united states and the menominee , juneau registered his wife and children as half - breeds of the menominee nation . in his later life , juneau and family relocated to dodge county , wisconsin , where they founded the village of therese , named after juneau ' s french - canadian mother . josette juneau died there in 1855 , solomon died one year later in keshena , wisconsin , on a visit to the menominee tribe . six menominee chiefs served as pallbearers at his funeral . he is buried at calvary cemetery , milwaukee , wisconsin . juneau ' s grandson , paul o . husting , would become a member of the united states senate .

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

to - date .\ncould you ask for a better smackdown duo ? these gentlemen are arguably the two hottest young chefs on the scene right now . both have sharp restaurants , both hosted tv cooking programs last year and both have a mastery of ingredients \u2013 especially local ingredients \u2013 shared by few . these boys can cook , they\u2019re competitive and they\u2019re even good friends , having worked together from 2002 to 2004 at the laval restaurant derri\u00e8re les fagots , where st -

up comfort food ) , while st - pierre keeps his cuisine along more traditional upscale comfort food lines . that said , despite the occasional risky flavour combinations , if there\u2019s one thing these boys don\u2019t do is make mistakes . watching them chop , fry , select and assemble their food is a real pleasure . someone give these two their own cooking show !\nin 1975 , liberal prime minister pierre trudeau appointed juneau minister of communication but he was defeated in the by - election of that year and resigned from the post . in 1978 , still under trudeau , he became under secretary of state and in 1980 deputy minister of communication . trudeau appointed juneau to a seven - year term as president of the canadian broadcasting corporation ( cbc ) in 1982 . these proved to be turbulent times , however , as the trudeau government was defeated by the conservative party of prime minister brian mulroney . although the cbc president enjoys an\narm ' s length\nrelationship with the government , relations between juneau , who was closely identified with the trudeau liberals , and the new government became strained as increasingly severe budget cuts were imposed upon the cbc . in 1988 , the mulroney government also revised the broadcasting act . it foresaw that juneau ' s position would be split between a part - time president and a full - time chairman , a move which juneau opposed . simultaneously , throughout the 1980s , new television services were launched and the cbc ' s audience share declined . juneau defended both the ideal and the practical reality of public broadcasting and stated his intention to raise to 95 % the amount of canadian content on the cbc . furthermore , in 1988 - 89 , he oversaw the launch of the cbc ' s all - news cable channel , newsworld , on which he appeared as the first speaker on the last day of his mandate ."]}

jung\u2019s street stall , it displays little urgency . thus , vive l\u2019amour is very much an art film , providing little for entertainment but much for contemplation .\n1 . editor ' s note : tsai ' s most recent film , the river ( he liu , 1997 ) , which forms a loose trilogy with rebels of the neon god and vive l ' amour , won the silver bear prize at the 47th berlin in 1997 .\ni ' ve seen a few ming - liang films , but so far vive l ' amour ( which translates to\nlong live love\n) is his best . it ' s a meditative exploration of urban malaise that is more interested in one ' s silences than one ' s communication , and what those silences mean .\ni used viva l ' amour to help me plan and achieve the most romantic evening of my life at escambr\u00f3n beach with the purpose of popping the question . my new fiancee was so surprised and excited that she thought she was dreaming . vival ' amour helped me design the perfect moment and not only did what i wanted , but also added an extra touch of romantism to the event .\ni now wish that i had seen vive l\u2019amour before watching the hole , tsai\u2019s most recent release . for whatever reason , i lacked patience for , and interest in , that film . but i now see the end of the hole \u2014 when one of the two main characters quite literally reaches out to the other \u2014 as a moving portent of optimism and human triumph . quite a step beyond may lin\u2019s endless tears .\ni\u2019ve always seen taipei as a city of togetherness . to me , it is an abode of extended family , a lively retreat from the banality of suburban california , and place for holidays and discovery . stifling humidity aside , taipei occupies a relatively positive and nostalgic place in my heart . tsai ming - liang\u2019s 1994 film vive l\u2019amour does not share my perspective . to say the least , its taipei is a horribly lonely place .\nun potentiel inexploit\u00e9 , ce sera l ' adjectif le plus r\u00e9curent pour parler de aiq ing wan sui , titre original qui sera d\u00e9clin\u00e9 en\nvive l ' amour\nlors de sa sortie internationale . le pitch avait tout pour plaire : 3 \u00e2mes solitaires se rencontrant dans un appartement mis \u00e0 la vente . or les interpr\u00e9tations ( mention sp\u00e9ciale \u00e0 yang kuei - mei lorsqu ' elle ne pleure pas ) et la photographie ( par liao pen - jung & lin ming - kuo ) ne sauvent pas le postulat de d\u00e9part . on se perd dans ce beau film qui ne pr\u00e9sente que trop peu d ' enjeux .\nbut really , this film could be set anywhere . loneliness , and the cities that cause it , are universal . there\u2019s a heavy silver lining to its silence\u2014you could watch it without knowing mandarin or having subtitles , and still come away with the same sense of utter soulless devastation . in this sense , vive l\u2019amour is ironic in more ways than just its title ; it\u2019s a piece about unanchored souls on which anyone who wants ( though few probably do ) can anchor .\na collaboration between several photography and videography houses , vive lamour is the combination of the talent and passion of some of the top singaporean , malaysian and taiwanese wedding vendors .\non that note , vive l\u2019amour has a fantastically ironic title ; it\u2019s got plenty of lust but absolutely no love . for the most part , its three characters exist in separate spheres\u2014mei never stays long with ah - jung , ah - jung ends up stealing another key and using the apartment for his own purposes , and hsiao - kang hides under the bed when the couple are going at it . furthermore , their activities in the apartment bring only temporary release at best . in the end , all three are still alone , marooned within taipei\u2019s urban desert .\nvive l\u2019amour ends with two stunning sequences . in the penultimate scene , hsiao - kang ( lee kang - sheng ) , a closeted and suicidal young man , crawls into bed with ah - jung ( chen chao - jung ) , an acquaintance who is sleeping soundly . tsai\u2019s camera lingers on the two men for several minutes , allowing us to watch \u2014 trapped in a moment of almost hitchcockian suspense \u2014 as hsiao - kang leans closer and closer , finally kissing the other man on the mouth without waking him . it\u2019s a remarkable performance . lee\u2019s face is written with conflicted emotion : curiosity , terror , longing , shame , joy .\nif and when the macrons win \u2014 he has made it clear it will be their joint win \u2014 one can expect a return to real l\u2019amour in france , even if it is deemed awfully old - fashioned , tedious and utterly bourgeois by most of the disdainful french . macron supporters chant , \u201cbrigitte ! brigitte ! \u201d at his rallies and say their amazing relationship is \u2018\u2018a conversation that is continuing 25 years after their first meeting . \u201d how lucky ! how lovely ! brigitte herself says , \u201cour love story belongs to us . that is our secret . \u201d\ni got in contact with eric from vive lamour through a friend of mine , who have recently got married & engaged eric for their wedding . i ' ve choosen vive lamour out of all because of their impressive ( morning highlights ) video that they produced for my friend ' s wedding & also the affordable price . as i was hosting a lunch banquet , it is important for me to get a professional team to rush out the video during my 2nd march - in . many other studio couldn ' t commit to that . although there were some hipcups with the video on my weddingday , but thankfully the team managed to rush it out after our 2nd march - in eventually . they were very commited during the filming ( even drones were involved which we were very impressed with ) . many of our relatives & friends comment that our video was very unique & different from the usual . me & my husband was truely satisfied with the video & the team . i ' ll definitely recommend vive lamour to all the wedding couples out there .\nthe film focuses on three city folks who unknowingly share the same apartment : mei , a real estate agent who uses it for her sexual affairs ; ah - jung , her current lover ; and hsiao - ang , who ' s stolen the key and uses the apartment as a retreat . written by l . h . wong\nthe end of the film aspires to a grand , antonioni - like gesture with an extended tracking shot of the unhappy mei - mei walking through a desolate urban park . blending allusions to\nl ' avventura ,\nla notte ,\nand\nthe passenger ,\nthe scene ends with a prolonged , highly emotional closeup of mei - mei .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nfor much of the film , the characters co - exist in the apartment without confronting one another . on one occasion , hsiao - kang , to avoid being discovered , hides under a bed on which mei - mei and ah - jung make love . a situation that would normally be played as a bedroom farce is treated instead as a portrait of erotic angst , with overtones of\nno exit .\nfor when hsiao - kang eventually meets ah - jung , he falls secretly in love with him .\nboth the director and his characters are obsessed with the glossier surfaces of modern life . in this languidly paced film , the camera lingers on the apartment ' s spare , immaculate interiors as intently as on the characters ' grooming habits . one of the apartment ' s attractions is a whirlpool bath in which the characters luxuriously immerse themselves . but as the film makes graphically clear , solitary sensual gratification is no palliative for an underlying sense of emptiness . no sooner has hsiao - kang finished his bath than he slashes his wrist in a half - hearted suicide attempt .\nin crucial ways , all three characters are not what they seem . ah - jung tells mei - mei that he works\nin imports and exports ,\nwhich seems like stretching things for an unlicensed street peddler who has to hide from the police . hsiao - kang , when alone , acts out an elaborate autoerotic fantasy of himself as a woman . mei - mei , who seems crisp and tough throughout most of the film , is ultimately revealed to be seriously depressed .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nat times , the symbolism becomes heavy - handed . hsiao - kang has a job selling cremation containers . and when the movie takes a digressive tour of an enormous mortuary , the metaphor seems pushy .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\ninterested in blogging for urltoken we will be happy to have you on board as a blogger , if you have the knack for writing . just drop in a mail at toiblogs @ urltoken with a brief bio and we will get in touch with you .\nwhat a \u2018prem kahani\u2019 ! wow ! let\u2019s be honest , one of the main reasons the world is taking such an interest in the presidential election in france is because of one woman . no . not marine le pen . but her chief rival emmanuel macron\u2019s wife brigitte . i confess i am obsessed and intrigued by their extraordinary love story . so is international media . whether le pen wins or macron makes it to the elysee palace has become secondary to the role brigitte will play as first lady , if her husband edges out his rival . macron has made it clear his wife will be by his side \u2014 officially , with a defined role , if he makes it as top dog next month . as she well deserves to , given the significant role she has played shaping the life of a man who is quarter of a century younger than her . a man she lovingly describes as \u2018\u2018a character from another planet\u201d .\nbrigitte first met her future husband as a 15 - year - old student in a conservative jesuit school , where she , a much - married teacher , took classes in latin , french and theatre . her daughter was exactly emmanuel\u2019s age and shared a classroom with the schoolmate who would one day become her stepfather . love bloomed when he was playing the lead role in a milan kundera play and the pupil - teacher spent hours together . according to brigitte , she tried to discourage her desperately young and very ardent suitor by getting him to change schools . but at 17 , he declared he would eventually marry her , no matter what !\nand that\u2019s exactly what happened in 2007 , when they exchanged vows , after brigitte obtained a divorce from andre louis auziere , her banker husband ( and father of their three children ) . during his wedding speech , macron thanked her children for \u201cloving us as we are . \u201d and he told the love of his life , \u201cwe\u2019re going to shut people up . \u201d well , they almost succeeded . today , their relationship has become an issue for political watchers , who are strenuously trying to pick holes in it . critics have suggested macron shares a gay relationship with mattieu gallet , a high - profile radio journalist . but brigitte\u2019s youngest daughter ( 31 ) staunchly declares she has yet to meet a \u201chappier couple\u201d than her mother and stepdad . c\u2019est la vie !\nthe interesting aspect of their unusual love story is the emphasis placed on the age difference , and little else . never mind that another president across the atlantic is also married to someone 24 years his junior . donald trump is 70 , melania is 46 . men who marry women young enough to be their daughters are admired for their virility and power . it doesn\u2019t quite work the other way around . brigitte is a grandmother of seven . macron visits his step - grandchildren regularly . brigitte\u2019s son sebastien is two years older than him .\namusingly enough , the trogneux ( brigitte\u2019s maternal side ) family are famed chocolatiers specialising in macrons\u2026 the jokes never end . despite the taunts , brigitte says , \u201clove carries everything with it . \u201d the french are more used to philandering presidents and don\u2019t quite know what to make of this monogamous couple . hollande of the scooter helmet fame ( he was caught visiting a movie star , hiding behind it ) broke off with valerie trierweiler , his live - in ladyfriend at the elysee after the scandal broke , and promptly reinstated his ex , segolene royal ( mother of his four children ) , in the cabinet . if that sounds complicated and exhausting , hollande\u2019s predecessors jacques chirac and francois mitterand upheld french tradition and honour by not bothering to hide their mistresses or liaisons . hollande\u2019s predilections earned him the respectful nickname \u2018mr normal\u2019 .\nit is inspiring and reassuring in our cynical and blas\u00e9 times , to celebrate the macrons and what they share as equal and loving partners . their age difference is a non - issue . macron , a political newbie , is expected to use his formidable intellect and experience as a banker to provide a fresh direction to his country with en marche ! \u2014 a new centre - left party that believes in a more inclusive france and a strong eu . angela merkel\u2019s spokesperson has already hailed his expected victory , as has european commission\u2019s chief . it is only le pen\u2019s sour supporters who have dissed him for what they dub his \u2018bling - bling biz\u2019 attitude . we\u2019ll know soon enough who the french want as president . but for me , he has already won the title of \u2018president of hearts\u2019 for his daring \u2018pyar kiya toh darna kya\u2019 beliefs .\none of india ' s most popular writers , shobhaa de has seen it all : life as a model , a copywriter , a journalist , a socialite , a scriptwriter , a bestselling novelist and a busy mother of six children .\npolitically incorrect\n, which has been appearing as a column in the times of india , carries her sharp observations on politics , society , economy and relationships .\none of india ' s most popular writers , shobhaa de has seen it all : life as a model , a copywriter , a journalist , a socialite , a scriptwriter , a bestselling nov . . .\nnow imagine , a married male teacher \\ & quot ; spending hours \\ & quot ; with a 17 year old girl . a man whose son is in the same class as this girl . h . . .\nno one cares for this foreign payroll stooge . too ugly to look at even .\nif this is the best journalism india has to offer we are all going to hell in a handcart .\nmsp hike is a big blunder . farmers are producers , not objects of charity\ncopyright \u00a9 2018 bennett , coleman & co . ltd . all rights reserved . for reprint rights : times syndication service\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\na rollicking arrangement that boys will love . the ranges suit a junior high choir , but other age groups will also enjoy this arrangement .\nbak middle school of the arts boys choir west palm beach , fl . , d . shawn berry , conductor [ \u00a9 all rights reserved ]\nall scores , recordings and materials on sbmp . com are protected by copyright -

will be the third official film in the series . even tarantino knew that he was simply riffing on something bigger , so he went ahead and put nero in his movie , just so cinephiles would know that he knew what he was doing .\nmore like djambo - it ' s entertaining enough , but i would have preferred to see django in another western as opposed to the colombian jungle .\ndespite having around 30 sequels to his name , this is the only official sequel to the original 1966 django . it ' s also the only sequel where\ndjango digs up his buried machine gun and and returns to the silver mine along with a fake ' mariposa negra ' made by his friends the monks at the monastery . with the help of a young native boy who delivers the butterfly along with a note that tells where the insect was captured while django waits in ambush .

[ . . . ]\nin the only official sequel django comes off more as a rambo than django . he guns lots of people in big battles and makes lots of remarks that make him sound concerned about the future of the wolrd and other people . in other words - pure cheese . christopher connely makes for a fitting over - the - top villain . music is too synthetically sounding for this kind of movie . i was surprised by number of pedofilic overtones in this movie . little girls are getting sold to brothel and there\u2019s some customer who seems interested in them , there\u2019s even a scene where it\u2019s implied that some old guy raped girl that certainly looks underage . still as a brainless entertainment and nice cheesefest it\u2019s not that bad . 6 / 10 for entertainment value\nthe only kosher django follow - up , this isn ' t too bad even if it does have that eighties belated sequel feel in places . nero ' s still convincing - there ' s always a jolt of excitement when he digs the old coffin up - and the plot ' s quite good , while the ever - reliable donald pleasance adds a little flavour in a decent supporting role .\nwe the see ' el diablo ' , a hungarian aristocrat who is in command of an armored riverboat . his austrian crew was in the employ of emperor maximilian but after his overthrow they work for ' el diablo ' as pirates , looting and capturing natives to work in a silver mine . django realizes it is ' el diablo ' who has attacked his daughter ' s village and now holds her prisoner .\nthat was literally three years ago and it could have easily changed by now . whether sayles will be doing his own thing from the ground up or riffing on that premise is entirely unknown . sayles is a smart guy with the western genre in his bones . he\u2019s got this . he\u2019s also a b - movie veteran , so he knows that any django movie is going to need a preposterous scene like this :\nin addition to lone star , for which he received an oscar nomination , sayles has penned everything from hugely entertaining b - movies like piranha and alligator to more serious fare like matewan and eight men out . he even wrote the spiderwick chronicles , proving that he can rub elbows with all of that modern ya stuff . few writers have showcased such a broad and succesful , so why not hand him a django movie ?\ndjango had given up the guns years ago and become a monk . a woman arrives at the monastery one day to tell him that he has a daughter and that she\u2019d been taken by count orlowsky , \u201cel diablo , \u201d on one of his village raids to gather slaves for his silver mines and women to be sold into slavery . he visits the village , finds destruction and death , and sets out to find and free his daughter .\nand it seems the filmmakers thought lapaglia would and should have bailed on \u201cunderground\u201d to keep waiting to work with tarantino . \u201cthe people at \u2018django , \u2019 their attitude more or less was , \u2018just dump the other film , \u2019 but i couldn\u2019t do it out of respect to rob connolly , out of respect to the material , out of respect to the commitment i\u2019d made , \u201d he said , noting that if he bailed on \u201cunderground\u201d it might have caused the entire film to collapse , as financing was raised and backed on his name .\nas \u201c django unchained \u201d made its way in front of cameras , quentin tarantino saw both the cast and script for his upcoming slavery / western / vengeance pic change as production moved along . joseph gordon - levitt had to bail on his small role in the film , kevin costner couldn\u2019t commit to his role either , sacha baron cohen had to bow out , and kurt russell also exited the picture ( and while jonah hill did initially turn down the movie due to scheduling , he was able to join later on , albeit in a different role ) . and it looks like yet another actor left the project over timing .\nfranco nero reprise his most famous role some twenty - one years later and the cast had a number of notable actors in roles . christopher connelly is count orlowsky , \u201cel diablo , \u201d a hungarian count still in the country after maximillion\u2019s overthrow , donald pleasence in a small role as a british prisoner working in orlowsky\u2019s silver mines , and william berger , a veteran of a number of spaghetti westerns himself , as an old timer who appeared in a mock gunfight at the beginning with another old timer , both lamenting the death years before of django just when he was needed . they were watching as orlowsky\u2019s big steamship passed their position along the river .\nas his shooting days kept getting changed , aussie actor anthony lapaglia found the schedule between \u201cdjango unchained\u201d running up against his role in robert connolly \u2018s julian assange film \u201c underground , \u201d which he signed on for this spring . and when push came to shove , he sided with connolly who he had worked with before on \u201c balibo \u201d \u2014 and he doesn\u2019t mince words about what he saw happening on tarantino\u2019s film . \u201cthe production was just out of control , over -

gavras and screenwriter joe eszterhaus are equally as guilty of objectifying white midwesterners . the film would lead you to believe that every last american farmer is a closet cross - burner . and gary simmons , a psycho in sheep ' s clothing , is yet one more superficial celluloid vietnam veteran .\nandy warhol began to make films in 1963 , the year zapruder shot kennedy on film . warhol\u2019s own five year plan for film was completed in 1968 when he himself was shot by a woman who had acted in his films . warhol survived all the shooting , but he is now permanently dead .\nwood , m . ,\nin search of the missing ,\nin american film ( washington , d . c . ) , march 1982 .\n\u201cbetrayed\u201d is a film that left me in turmoil , torn between the strong sympathies i felt for the characters and the fundamental doubts i had about the plot . here were people i believed in , involved in a story that no one could believe in . and that kind of conflict raises basic questions , such as : how could the characters themselves , who seem so intelligent , believe their own story ? that\u2019s the trickiest thing about creating movie characters who can think for themselves .\nset in iowa , betrayed stars debra winger as an fbi agent who infiltrates a klanlike white supremacist organization . allegedly a woman of intelligence and perception , winger throws caution and logic to the winds when she falls in love with local farmer tom berenger . much to her surprise berenger turns out to be the most rabid racist of all .\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\ncumbow , robert c . order in the universe : the film of john carpenter . lanham : scarecrow press , inc . ; second edition , 2000 .\nso far , this is the only pixar film released before disney purchased it that has neither received a sequel or prequel , nor has had one announced .\nfini les \u00e9migr\u00e9s ,\nan interview with freddy sartor , in film en televisie + video ( brussels ) , no . 432 , may 1993 .\nfor the same reason that a scientist who is also a believer is drawn to address apparent conflicts between science and faith . the last temptation of christ , an ambitious film from a director of significant stature , based upon a serious novel by a talented writer , met with widespread acclaim and praise among film critics , yet drew enormous negative attention in many religious circles , often from people who hadn\u2019t seen the film and were not in a position to frame their objections critically .\nmathijs , ernest , and xavier mendik , editors . the cult film reader . new york : open university press , 2008 , pp . xvii -

made , atmospheric murder mystery , while clair de femme is the dreary tale of a widower and a woman scarred by the death of her young daughter . both of these films star yves montand . but while costa - gavras ' s most characteristic works do indeed condemn governments that control other governments or suppress human rights , his concerns as a filmmaker have perhaps shifted towards the more personal . the two features made with scriptwriter joe eszterhaus , betrayed and music box , focused on the relationship between the central female character and a man ( a lover in betrayed , a father in music box ) who is subsequently revealed as a fascist .\nthe film opens with a disclaimer stating that the film is\nnot based on the gospels ,\nbut upon the novel by nikos kazantzakis ( a moot point , since the novel itself is based , however distantly , on the gospels ) . kazantzakis\u2019s novel is a speculative exploration of the concept of christ\u2019s dual nature , focusing particularly on his humanity .\ni\u2019m fascinated by your interpretation of the last temptation of christ . whilst recognising the sometimes blasphemous nature of the film , i can\u2019t help but think you are somewhat wrong about judas .\nthis is certainly a fascinating thriller . it certainly lacks the brilliance in terms of fresh and inventive storytelling of missing and the confession . however , it is as intense as both of them . joe esterzhas the writer of paul verhoeven ' s basic instinct is the writer for this film , his style of screenwriting seems to suite costa - gavras ' s direction . what is most frustrating about this film is the ending as well as the 35 minutes after the brilliant opening of the film . regardless of that the film has a portrayal of neo - nazis that is frightening and fresh to this day . to see how behind this wholesome , midwestern family image are violent murderers , as well as an organized schooling and indoctrination of young children\u2026\nthis is essentially the same dilemma that eszterhas created for glenn close in \u201cjagged edge . \u201d can she trust the man she loves , or is he , as all evidence seems to indicate , a two - faced killer ? in that film , the audience did not know the answer until the last moment , but in \u201cbetrayed\u201d the answer is obvious from fairly early on ( even the title is a giveaway ) . the thriller doesn\u2019t hinge on berenger\u2019s behavior , but on how winger will save herself from almost certain exposure . and as that level of the plot unfolded , i began to have problems .\nhad a mixed critical reaction when it initially appeared . in his movie guide , leonard maltin gives the film a low one -

wing paramilitary groups in america . i know that members of one of them were recently convicted of the murder of alan berg , the liberal denver talk show host whose murder inspired this story . i didn\u2019t question that level of the story . and even when \u201cbetrayed\u201d went out of its way to exaggerate the contradictions in the berenger character , i accepted that as part of the job of thrillermaking .\nthis was the third film in universal ' s blockbuster series of pre -

maoist recuperation of the formal devices of situationist film has been possible , first , because it coincides with the impostures of those academicians and , second , because situationist film remains virtually unknown outside of paris .\ndirector costa -

producer joe eszterhas (\nf . i . s . t . ,\nflashdance\n) . the result is a loosening of the trademark costa - gavras tension and the sogging of a relevant issue into overwrought pulp .\nit ' s a terrifying film , but i found it almost impossible to believe that berenger ' s character could be fooled by winger ' s taciturn , shifty -

show host in chicago . ( here and elsewhere , the film falls back eagerly on real headlines to strengthen its impact ; the reference to the 1984 killing of alan berg in denver is clear . ) richard libertini , who makes a memorable impression as the hatred - fanning host in this brief sequence , avows that it ' s all right to ' ' let people say what they want , as ugly as it may be , ' ' and indeed his call - in guests do exactly that . but the last look on his face , as he realizes he is caught in a deadly ambush , is far more eloquent in suggesting the terrible consequences of encouraging people to do their worst .\na film is like a match : you can make a big fire or nothing at all ,\nan interview with h . kalishman and gary crowdus , in cineaste ( new york ) , vol . 6 , no . 1 , 1973 .\nthe film opens as sam kraus , a chicago radio shock jock , challenges any anti - semite to call him on the phone . after his broadcast , kraus is shot while approaching his car in a parking garage . the killer then spray paints the letters\nthis great raymond chandler detective thriller from director edward dmytryk , was a hard - boiled tale - a superb , complex , shadowy film noir of murder , corruption , blackmail , double - cross and double identity , with witty dialogue and cynical voice - over narration .\nin\nbetrayed ,\nnone of its actors ' notable efforts can save the farm . the most diligent effort comes from debra winger , in a loose reprise of ingrid bergman ' s character in\nnotorious ,\nan fbi plant sent into dangerous territory . here she is supposed to follow fbi agent john heard ' s hunch about the assassination of a left - leaning chicago talk show host ( a fine bit by richard libertini ) . the letters z . o . g . at the scene of the killing make heard believe that a specific supremacist group may be behind it .\nthere is meant to be something daring in the film ` s romantic subplot - in the suggestion that fascism and fanaticism can be attractive . it ` s a phenomenon that is regrettably well documented , though the film is careful to protect its heroine . rather than put cathy to any real test , costa - gavras insists that it was only gary ` s norman rockwell - ish glow that drew her to him ; his dark side had nothing to do with it . honest , she didn ` t even notice that he was completely insane .\nyet , for me at least , the last temptation of christ is a complete wash . not because of a directorial failure on scorsese\u2019s part , but simply because no director in the world could possibly make this material into a film worth sitting through for its own sake .\nthe climax of this dramatic mystery film from director clint eastwood was the resolution of the central murder case - the murder of 19 year old katie markum ( emmy rossum ) . the main plot was very similar to amc ' s episodic murder mystery the killing ( 2011 - 2014 ) .\nkeith sanborn is a media artist and theorist . his work has been featured at the whitney biennial , rotterdam international film festival , and centre pompidou , among many other venues . he has translated into english the work of guy debord , ren\u00e9 vi\u00e9net , gil wolman , georges bataille and napoleon .\nfamed belgian detective hercule poirot ( albert finney ) delivered his sleuthing findings at the film ' s end to the assembled group of suspects aboard the orient express , snowbound between istanbul and paris . his conclusion about the murder of callous , millionaire american businessman mr . rachett ( richard widmark ) was :\nneither side has much use for the other\u2019s opinion . yet i have one foot in each camp \u2014 indeed , both feet in both camps , since i write film criticism informed by faith , rather than compartmentalizing or partitioning my beliefs when i review a film . in a case like this , where critical thought and religious opinion seem irreconcilable , i feel it is necessary to offer a response that is both critically responsible and spiritually sound \u2014 if only to satisfy myself ( if no one else ) that such a response is indeed possible ; that critical perspective and orthodox judgment are not somehow exclusive .\nthe film - maker sees himself in elias .\nhe ' s discovering everything ,\ngavras says .\nhe can ' t speak the language to ask questions . it ' s like a silent movie .\nhe likens the film ' s gentle irony to that of jacques tati - though with an undercurrent of fear .\nelias is used - as most illegals are . he ' s handsome , so he ' s used sexually . underneath , it ' s a serious drama .\nyet there is optimism .\neven elias resists fate - the fate of where he was born .\nlast temptation goes way over that line . poisonous morally and spiritually , it is also worthless as art or entertainment , at least on any theory of art as an object of appreciation . as an artifact of technical achievement , it may be well made ; but as a film , it is devoid of redeeming merit .\nsitney has , since the writing of this text , rewritten visionary film several times and has significantly revised the films he has included and to some degree the logic of their inclusion . the current edition includes a significantly greater number of women than the edition in print at the time this text was written . [ \u21a9 ]\nthe death of the avant - garde coincides with the death of modernism . for film , that was sometime between 1973 and 1978 , at the latest , though the five year span a decade earlier suggests itself as well . unfortunately , it was only in 1987 that the voice of the critics began to register any notice .\nin 1988 , the cinematographe is not only an invention without a future , it is an invention without history . for when the cinematographe superceded its identity as a mechanical technology , history was superceded by what frampton called \u201cmetahistory . \u201d but in deploying \u201cmetahistory , \u201d we must keep in mind our position in the labyrinth of etymology : just as \u201cmetaphysics\u201d first meant \u201cthe works which follow the physics\u201d [ in the writings of aristotle ] , so \u201cmetahistory\u201d first means \u201cthe work which follows history . \u201d in the inevitable montage of temporal successivity , metahistory will necessarily be taken as commentary on that which came before , but it should not be assumed from the outset , that its ambition is to contain its object in succeeding it . it is a question of developing a strategy for comparing the incommensurable : what comes before and what comes after .\nbut \u201cbetrayed\u201d is not a love story . it is an undercover thriller , and we quickly learn that winger is an fbi agent and that berenger is suspected of being part of a secret right - wing terrorist organization that is responsible for the murder of a left - wing chicago talk show host . how can this be true ? how can this honest , open - faced farmer from a world of sunday church services and apple pie be a neo - nazi killer ? at first winger doesn\u2019t believe it , and she tells her fbi contacts that they are after the wrong man . but then , after she falls more deeply in love with berenger , he decides to trust her with his secrets . his first wife left because she could not endure his world of secret paranoia , but he realizes he must be honest with winger because he loves her . his desire to share his hidden life creates some of the weirdest scenes in the film , because there is such an ironic tension between the ultraright paramilitary organization he belongs to and the pop psychology of his language when he explains that they must be open with each other and share the things that are important .\nmarlowe was first engaged in a film - long quest - he had been hired by love - struck ex - con moose malloy ( mike mazurki ) to look for a mysterious velma valento , his missing ex - lover . velma had sold him out 8 years earlier for unknown reasons , although he still remembered her :\nshe was cute as lace pants .\nrally , gary shows remnants of his original feelings , such as when he lashes out at a neo - nazi selling photos of adolf hitler . ironically gary is infected with the same racist ideology as the nazi leader he despises . perhaps the most shocking moment in the film , however , is when katie first overhears innocent young rachel employ the same racist language as her father .\ni know that your review of scorsese\u2019s last temptation of christ is 7 years old , nonetheless i have one piece of what i hope is perceived as constructive criticism . this review is not a review of the film ( i . e . screenplay , direction , actors portrayals , cinematography ) . it is , quite frankly , a review of kazantzakis\u2019 book . you have reviewed and critiqued the main plot points that were created by kazantzakis almost 50 years ago . reviewing a movie such as this is like walking a tight rope to insure that you don\u2019t review the book . you never set foot on the tight rope , though , and instead fell to the ground , into the trap of a book review . what i was really hoping for was a film critique .\nnor is it only the portrayal of jesus himself that is antithetical to christian thought . virtually every characterization , every aspect of the film is deliberately iconoclastic , self - consciously contrary to traditional christian understanding , calculated for shock value . first and foremost is the reinterpretation of judas iscariot ( harvey keitel ) as a principled hero , a man who ultimately\nbetrays\njesus only because jesus orders him to do so over judas\u2019 own tortured objections . when faithful judas demands to know whether if jesus himself , were he in judas\u2019 place , would be able to betray a beloved master , jesus replies ( in a moment typical of the film\u2019s sensibilities ) ,\nno , i couldn\u2019t . that\u2019s why god gave me the easier job [ i . e . , dying on the cross ] .\nduring the question and answer period of a recent panel discussion in new york on the responsibility of representing the other , a white male european in the audience questioned what he saw as the hyperintellectuality of trinh t . min -

ha with some puzzlement admitted her film could be thought of as an \u201cart film\u201d in the context of ethnography , but had little to say about the alterative praxis offered by the example of riefenstahl\u2019s book .\nbut wait ! there\u2019s more ! in the best traditions of film - making , there needs to be a \u201ctwist , \u201d a logical proposal that\u2019s unexpected . and the final \u201ctemptation\u201d scenes provide that in droves . the \u201cdual - spirit\u201d of not only jesus but all of humanity is described and employed insomuch that the temptation - experience can be seen as both \u201cin the mind\u201d and \u201cin reality\u201d at the same time .\nby the film ' s exciting ending , mirakle had already committed four murders . he had sent erik to kidnap sweet ' virginal ' ingenue , mlle . camille l ' espanaye ( sidney fox ) , and in the process of abducting camille , her mother mme . l ' espanaye ( betty ross clarke ) was strangled and stuffed up the chimney by the ape , feet - first - a quite grisly sight .\naccording to box office mojo , a bug ' s life made $ 162 . 8 million in its u . s . theatrical run , easily covering its estimated production costs of $ 120 million . this made it the fourth highest grossing movie in 1998 . even so , it had been the lowest grossing pixar feature animated film , until the good dinosaur . its worldwide box office total was $ 363 . 4 million .\nbut the jesus of last temptation does all of the above things , and more . the film gives us a human jesus , but a jesus of fallible , fallen humanity \u2014 a jesus who could not be god . this is evident , not just in the sequences containing obvious blasphemy , such as the scene where jesus the carpenter explains that he makes crosses for the romans and helps crucify his fellow jews so that god will hate him and leave him alone ; or even in the scenes depicting jesus\u2019 persistent doubts and confusion about the nature of his identity and mission , or whether he is the messiah at all ; but everywhere you turn in the film . the fact is , willem dafoe\u2019s jesus has hardly a scene \u2014 hardly two lines of dialogue put together \u2014 in which the falseness of the character is not the dominant fact about him .\nschool daze represents the opposite side of the coin from jungle fever . jungle fever skirted needless controversy thanks to its brilliant construction , school daze invited criticism with its rough edges and incomplete vision . controversy without a clear statement is viewed , rightly or wrongly , as cage rattling for the sake of cage rattling . school daze was received as a film that thought it had a lot to say but ultimately didn & apos ; t .\ni find myself reflecting on the significance of the fact that this film represents the collaboration of a writer of greek orthodox heritage and a filmmaker of italian catholic background . only artists so steeped from childhood in the rich profundity of christian tradition could possibly create something so profoundly antithetical to that tradition , so deeply heretical and blasphemous . it could never have been made by an ordinary nonreligious or atheistic filmmaker , or even by a lapsed protestant .\na woman ( debra winger ) starts working on gary\u2019s ( tom berenger ) farm . they become friends and fall in love . the problem is that gary is an anti - government white separatist . little does gary know that the woman he has fallen in love with is hiding a past also . debra winger gives another superb performance and has great chemistry with berenger . the plot is a little thing , but winger makes this film worth watching . my rating : bargain matinee\nthroughout the movie judas acts almost as jesus\u2019 conscience . as the film opens we find judas patriotically upbraiding jesus for collaborating with rome by his cross - making . when jesus begins his ministry , judas follows him conditionally , warning him that if he betrays his mission judas will kill him . finally , in the climactic scene , it is a stern , prophetic judas ( or a dream - representation of him ) that recalls jesus to the necessity of his dying on the cross .\nit\u2019s quite true that a film can be morally or spiritually objectionable and still have significant artistic or entertainment value . that\u2019s the whole point of my specialized ratings system . i had grave moral objections to the cell , american beauty , and being john malkovich , but i gave them all high marks for artistic / entertainment value . whatever other faults these movies may have , each of them is in its own way interesting to watch . parts of them i might even want to see again .\nat the same time , i have no intention of trying to stake out some sort of middle ground or happy compromise between the critics\u2019 acclaim and the religionists\u2019 censure . my own finding is that one of the two sides is right , and the other is wrong . i will try to show in this essay which side went wrong , and how , and to explain it in a way that should make sense both to believers and to critics and film lovers , as well as those who , like myself , fall into both categories .\nalongside they live \u2019s classical western influences , carpenter draws from science - fiction of the 1950s . his use of black - and - white harkens back to the era of filmmaking to which carpenter pays homage , resulting in a film that , in its colorless scenes , appears very much like a classic sci - fi yarn ( most of the film\u2019s visual effects , such as the black - and - white billboards , were achieved with old - fashioned techniques such as matte paintings and stop - motion sequences ) . classical science - fiction tropes found alien intruders promising liberation through slavery . films such as it came from outer space , invaders from mars ( 1953 ) , invasion of the body snatchers ( 1956 , 1978 ) , and village of the damned ( 1960 , which carpenter remade in 1995 ) contain aliens that take over the minds of human beings and promise a better world through their control and the human race\u2019s subservience . aliens from the fifties were symbols for communist intruders who threatened america\u2019s sense of personal freedom and free enterprise capitalism that had come to define the country\u2019s values .\ntom berenger , as the forceful , widowered vietnam war veteran she takes up with , does the best he can with an even harder role - - the decent american with two young children to raise who has completely swallowed the line of the crackpot right . he has a less showy role than winger , but he gives it care and thought . so does betsy blair , a welcome figure as his protective mother , although her role is underwritten . but for all their efforts , the film begins at the implausible and works its way quickly downhill .\nall these considerations are a bit wild , but that is because they correspond to the unrestrained film buff that i am and have always wished to remain\u2014that is in a sense uncultured and fascinated . there is a kind of primal pleasure , of anthropological joy in images , a kind of brute fascination unencumbered by aesthetic , moral , social or political judgments . it is because of this that i suggest that they are immoral , and that their fundamental power lies in this immorality . \u201d ( the evil demon of images , pp . 26 - 27 . )\nit ' s not that the idea of broad - based right - wing political conspiracies is ridiculous ; a look at any documentary on these parties will dissuade you of that . it ' s the speed and the broadness of the film makers ' approach that is jarring . take that whirlwind meeting and love affair between berenger and winger - - why would this cautious church - goer , of all people , hit on an itinerant combine driver he has met in a bar , taking her home and making her part of his family within days of their meeting ?\nhowever , when passions run high enough , inevitably some readers make a litmus - test out of the critic\u2019s conclusions , too often in the process ignoring the actual substance of the review , the reasons given for those conclusions . in particular , a critic who faults a movie like the last temptation of christ can expect to be dismissed as a fundamentalist and accused of judging the film on doctrinaire grounds rather than approaching it aesthetically and on its own terms ; while a critic who defends it can expect to be dismissed as a modernist and accused of condoning blasphemy and heresy .\nonce again , there\u2019s nothing wrong with trying to humanize judas to an extent , or give him understandable motivations . the filmmaker can even make us empathize with him to the point of feeling that we too would be capable of doing what he did . but what he did , in the end , has to be wrong ; and keitel\u2019s judas never manifests anything like corruption , self - interest , or pettiness . jesus is the main character and protagonist here , but a case could be made that judas is the film\u2019s true hero , or at least its most idealized character .\nnow 76 , he is one of french cinema ' s most internationally feted writer - directors , having made some 20 films over 45 years . a student at the sorbonne in the 50s , he still lives in paris ' s latin quarter , in a pink house off a courtyard hidden behind the boulevard saint - michel , where his grandchildren play around him . he is a naturalised citizen , has a french knighthood and in 2007 became president of the cin\u00e9math\u00e8que fran\u00e7aise , one of the world ' s largest film archives , lavishly rehoused in a frank gehry building across the seine .\nthe film ended in the grayle beach house when helen admitted to marlowe that she fabricated the jade necklace robbery ( marlowe :\nit was never stolen ? there wasn ' t any holdup ? you faked the whole thing .\n) she also confessed that she and marriott had set up marlowe to be killed in the canyon , because he was a\nnosy detective\nand would interfere with her schemes . her intention was to kill both of them , but her stepdaughter ann grayle ( anne shirley ) had arrived at an inopportune moment , and she was only able to murder marriott .\nthere is also a very significant appearance by st . paul that occurs in a difficult , extended dreamlike sequence at the end of the film often been described as a vision or dream sequence . ( what follows is spoiler intensive . ) the sequence begins with jesus on the cross seemingly being approached by a young girl , who tells him that he has suffered enough ; that he has proven himself faithful , and doesn\u2019t actually have to die after all . ( she makes an interesting case for this , citing the precedent of abraham being told at the last minute not to sacrifice isaac on mount moriah . )\na bug ' s life was a much more complex film than toy story because of the more complex character models , so pixar ' s computers tended to run sluggishly for the animation process . the crowds of ants were particularly challenging , with some 400 crowd shots scattered throughout the film , with many requiring the animation of 800 characters . the technical team worked around this by instructing the animators to work with 4 or 5 groups of 8 to 10 ants . the software team wrote an\nant generator\nprogram that would duplicate the character models and motions of the ants , and then automatically and randomly adjust the character models of each ant to change physical traits such as eye and skin color , height , and weight . the ants were then randomly scattered throughout the shot . this allowed these shots to be animated much more efficiently and for ants to look different from one another , despite the fact that the programmed motions would be nearly identical . these tools were based on existing\nparticle systems\nthat allowed autonomous dust and snow , which would eventually be perfected to allow up to 2 million dust particles on wheezy ' s shelf in toy story 2 and 3 million hairs on sulley in monsters , inc .\nwhat bothered me were two other elements . one was the heavy - handed way in which the plot sets up winger for danger . an fbi man , played by john heard , becomes adept at being in the wrong place at the wrong time and acting carelessly . and the stupidity of his character would have been irritating even if the movie didn\u2019t also create an old romance between winger and heard so that jealousy could be added to police work . over and over , i found myself asking why the winger character , who is so intelligent , makes such stupid decisions in the film , inspiring her own betrayal .\nunder 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older . the parent / guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie , even if the parent gives the child / teenager permission to see the film alone . these films may contain strong profanity , graphic sexuality , nudity , strong violence , horror , gore , and strong drug use . a movie rated r for profanity often has more severe or frequent language than the pg - 13 rating would permit . an r - rated movie may have more blood , gore , drug use , nudity , or graphic sexuality than a pg - 13 movie would admit .\ndespite this , in practice i myself was deeply disturbed and repulsed by the sheer visual - emotional impact of a close - up depiction of jesus christ passionately kissing a woman in bed . roger ebert , in his review of spike lee\u2019s bamboozled , criticized that film\u2019s use of actors in blackface makeup \u2014 even though the actors themselves were black and the device was intended as a critique of racism \u2014 arguing that the sheer racist association of the image itself overwhelms the context and dramatic purpose . watching this scene in last temptation , i had a similar reaction : i was just blown away by the wrongness of the very picture of jesus kissing a woman .\nseveral years subsequent to the writing of this text , debord\u2019s film were released on dvd along with his final effort guy debord , son art et son temps , a video made in collaboration with brigitte cornand and broadcast after his death in 1994 in a special soir\u00e9e guy debord on canal + , during which two of his earlier films were also broadcast . around the same time the dvd\u2019s were released , the films also circulated in newly struck 35mm prints , poorly subtitled . there were several problems with the initial dvd release , which i pointed out in an article published in artforum . the problems have now more or less been quietly addressed . [ \u21a9 ]\nnow , christian theology teaches that jesus christ was fully human as well as fully divine ; and certainly there is nothing objectionable about trying to evoke or express in art the humanity of christ . a work of art , a film or novel or painting , that evokes the truth of christ\u2019s humanity is a good and noble thing , even if it doesn\u2019t directly address the subject of his divinity . a recognizably human portrait of jesus \u2014 for example , one that envisions him being capable of suffering weakness , loneliness , fear , exhaustion ; of becoming exasperated with his disciples , or of having a good time at a wedding party \u2014 all of this can be quite valid and worthwhile .\nalthough this strange episode occurs in what is ostensibly a dream sequence , paul\u2019s argument seems to represent kazantzakis\u2019s ( or scorsese\u2019s ) idea of what could have or would have happened if jesus were not raised from the dead . essentially they are introducing the idea that\nfaith\nis more important than jesus\u2019 resurrection . what is the function of having paul say these things , even in a dream sequence , other than simply introducing these ideas into the film ? if they merely wanted to show paul preaching the gospel in order to suggest the necessity of jesus completing his mission , why not follow up by having jesus\u2019 denial of paul\u2019s message leave paul shattered and despairing , or at least flatly disbelieving jesus\u2019 claims ?\nthe plot , as it unfolds , is cleverly constructed by writer joe eszterhas ( who crafted the diabolical double - reverses in \u201c jagged edge \u201d ) and director costa - gavras ( who has specialized in clandestine right - wing groups in movies like \u201c z \u201d and \u201c missing \u201d ) . winger and berenger form a sympathetic couple right from the start , and even well into the story there is a residual feeling that this iowa farmer cannot be as two - faced and racist as he seems . then , as the film\u2019s center of gravity shifts , it becomes mostly winger\u2019s story , and she is wonderful at creating sympathy as costa - gavras turns up the heat , trapping her between love and danger ."]}

the dreyfusards and the anti - dreyfusards - because , for being such an important part of french history , it was largely present throughout proust\u2019s story and characters . the dreyfus affair , by piers paul read , depicts the sad but unfortunately true story of french captain alfred dreyfus ,\nthe dreyfus affair was debated across the world . it filled the newspapers , and the second trial at rennes in 1899 witnessed a media frenzy of a kind we are all too familiar with today . eager to participate in that frenzy and take advantage of one of the first news stories of worldwide interest to come into its view was the motion picture camera . films were made of the dreyfus affair because they were excellent business , but also \u2013 in one significant case \u2013 because they enabled the filmmaker to express his dedication to the dreyfus cause . the motion picture industry responded with newsfilm , dramatic reconstructions and sketches , so that the affair served as a demonstration of everything that the young medium could do to capture the semblance of reality .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : entrevue de dreyfus et de sa femme \u00e0 rennes . 1 july 1899 \u2013 dreyfus ( furthest right ) in prison at rennes meets his wife lucie for the first time in four years . georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s , playing the lawyer labori , is the figure in the centre , with another dreyfus lawyer , edgar demange , portrayed to the right .\ni\u2019m starting up a new series here at the bioscope . it is going to document the ways in which the early motion picture recorded and influenced the lives of some significant individuals . public lives from 1896 onwards started to be different to a significant degree because they began to be led in front of motion picture cameras , which could record them in reality or reconstitute them dramatically as entertainment . each post in the series will investigate an individual of significance to social , cultural or political history and try to see them particularly in the light of the cinema . each post will include a filmography including both non - fiction and fiction films . i don\u2019t know whether any of the subjects will be actors or filmmakers \u2013 maybe so . but the series starts with a french soldier , victim of one of the most notorious cases of miscarriage of justice in history , alfred dreyfus .\nin france the dreyfus affair became a focal point for anti - semitism . in 1894 alfred dreyfus , a highly placed jewish army officer , was falsely accused of treason . his final vindication ( in 1906 ) was hampered by the french military and the bitterly anti - semitic french press , and the wrenching controversy over\u2026\nthe first talking films about the affair were made outside of france , and they were not authorized to be shown in france . these include :\nthe dreyfus affair evolved around the false arrest and imprisonment of the innocent captain alfred dreyfus ( 1859 - 1935 ) , a highly decorat ed french jewish officer . traumatic soul - searching ensued and french society erupted into a fireball of anti - semitism and political partisanship that called into question the very nature of french identity .\nat the time these movies came out , the dreyfus affair was still ongoing , and any audience ( even foreign ones ) knew how to read the events as they happened . today , we have less familiarity with this story , and it makes matters worse that two of the eleven films are not included . one comes between the original arrest and the scene at devil\u2019s island , and depicts dreyfus being stripped of military honors before being taken to prison . the second missing film is the last one , in which dreyfus is led out of court to return to jail , where he would remain despite the evidence until 1906 . the colonel who kills himself in movie # 4 is one of those who created false evidence against dreyfus , and the fight in court was between reporters from opposing sides on the pro - dreyfus anti - dreyfus fault line . it\u2019s worth noting that between that original arrest and the court martial at the end , dreyfus was held in devil\u2019s island for nearly five years after an initial inquiry .\ncolin farrell is ready to return to the small screen . farrell and his \u201clobster\u201d director yorgos lanthimos are teaming up again on an amazon show about oliver north and his involvement in the iran -

writing team of claude izner in les souliers bruns du quai voltaire and barbara corrado pope in the blood of lorraine ( reviewed by charles sowerwine in the last issue ) . but while the affair constitutes the background for a murder mystery in these two novels , the dreyfus affair lies at the very heart of susan daitch\u2019s paper conspiracies . daitch , who teaches english at hunter college , is not a french historian but she has done her homework ( i found only a few small errors ) . in paper conspiracies , daitch has brilliantly reimagined the affair , weaving the stories of fictional and nonfictional characters to create a historical puzzle whose pieces only come together in the last few pages of the novel .\na decade ago i attempted a tandem read of proust ' s in search of lost time with a reading friend ; he made it through all of the books , i hit the wall in guermantes way and fell out . my issues began with the dreyfus affair -

righteous facial expressions on the part of dreyfus make of him a dignified hero who refuses to be degraded by the accusations made against him . \u201d ( in this respect , m\u00e9li\u00e8s anticipated another silent film about another unjust trial in france , carl dreyer\u2019s the passion of joan of arc . )\nthe third movie is \u201cdreyfus put in irons\u201d and it lives up to its title dreyfus is in his bed when two jailers come in and clamp leg irons to his legs .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : suicide du colonel henry . 31 august 1898 \u2013 colonel joseph henry , who discovered the \u2018bordereau\u2019 that incriminated dreyfus but who later forged documents in an attempt to compromise the dreyfus -

wing forces in french society - forces that can be traced down to our own day , and not only in france . yet the heart of this story is not the injustice itself , but the moving fact that people of character and fortitude - \u00e9mile zola , georges piquart , and the dreyfus family - risked their lives , careers , and fortunes to get to the truth . they never gave up or gave in , and this is perpetually relevant .\nalfred dreyfus , a military officer of jewish descent , was tried and convicted of treason . the movie will tell the story from the point of view of another officer , georges picquart , who worked to exonerate dreyfus .\nif i remember correctly , even though i ' ve known of the dreyfus affair since school days and have definitely went on wikipedia to educate myself about it , this is the first book i ' ve read that is wholly dedicated to the subject . and it is a good one . it tracks the pre -

october 1896 after a false report of an escape attempt .\nit is not always made clear in accounts of the dreyfus affair that many dreyfusards were quite as anti - semitic as their opponents . zola himself has anti - semitic stereotypes in his novels ; so too the dreyfusard authors marcel pr\u00e9vost and anatole france . the officer who refused to \u201cbury\u201d the evidence that dreyfus was innocent was vocally anti - semitic , whereas a number of the anti - dreyfusards abhorred anti - semitism .\nnot only did the dreyfus case introduce into the public eye a vicious anti - semitic show - trial , but it also served as a test case for censorship and media sensationalism . m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019 film , says author susan daitch in the on the media episode above , was the first docudrama , the \u201cfirst recreation based on photographs and illustrations in weekly newspapers in france at the time . \u201d and it proved so controversial that it was banned , along with all other dreyfus films , for fifty years , and only shown again in france in 1974 .\nsince i know all about the dreyfuss affair , i was able to piece together a plot line here , sort of . this film is eleven minutes long and is broken into one minute segments . the events are never explained . anti - semitism was alive and well in france and because dreyfuss was seen in a positive light , the audiences were rather naughty . the great director risked his standing in order to show a belief in the ill - treated dreyfuss .\n, found dreyfus guilty in september 1899 , the president of the republic , in order to resolve the issue , pardoned him . in july 1906 a civilian court of appeals ( the cour d\u2019appel ) set aside the judgment of the rennes court and rehabilitated dreyfus . the army , however , did not publicly declare his innocence until 1995 .\nby the time of the zola letter , the dreyfus case had attracted widespread public attention and had split france into two opposing camps . the anti - dreyfusards ( those against reopening the case ) viewed the controversy as an attempt by the nation\u2019s enemies to discredit the army and weaken france . the\nin most of these productions , the dreyfus affair is depicted as being nearly finished after the 1899 pardon ; dreyfus ' s nearly six - year struggle to obtain complete rehabilitation and the proclamation of his innocence are not dealt with . a few images show the 21 july 1906 ceremony in the courtyard of the ecole militaire . it is true that , for dreyfus , this was a\na day of elation\nthanks to the military honors that were paid to him by two squadrons of the 1st armored cavalry and two horse batteries , and also due to the\ndelicious embraces\nof all those whom he loved .\nwelcome to the bioscope , a blog on early and silent cinema , with an emphasis on research . the bioscope is no longer active , but you will find here nearly 1 , 400 posts on all aspects of silent film published from february 2007 to august 2012\n) a gun , to kill himself if he is guilty , but dreyfus refuses . the other men in the room lead him out .\nwith the next scene the news realism takes over . dreyfus is shown returning to france at the port of quiberon , at night , in the middle of a storm . lightning flashes , the performers are soaked in water , sailors on the boat bob up and down on the waters \u2013 it is as far as possible the scene as it had occured only a few weeks before m\u00e9li\u00e8s started filming . we then see dreyfus in jail , where he converses with his lawyers ( including m\u00e9li\u00e8s as labori , giving himself the heroic defender role \u2013 was this series the first set of films in which named living people were portrayed by actors ? ) before meeting with his wife lucie in a calculatedly pathetic scene .\nthe next is \u201cdreyfus meets his wife at rennes . \u201d dreyfus is in a more - comfortable - looking cell , writing at a table , and an officer directs some men to meet with him . they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of two women . dreyfus shows his pain at seeing his wife after so long , and the two embrace .\npart two will explore the dramatic records made by path\u00e9 , at the time of the trial and later , and the extraordinary actuality films of the trial made by biograph . part three will be a dreyfus filmography .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : attentat contre m . labori . 14 august 1899 \u2013 in the company of colonel picquart and m . gast , mayor of rennes , dreyfus\u2019s lawyer labori is shot in the back by a would -

day battles between the united states government and the anti - science , anti - intellectual educational agenda of the religious right . i also learned a great deal about the development of anti - semitism in modern european\nthe following section , which fully endorses the melodramatic possibilities of the affair , is entitled \u201csquirting cameras and rubber noses , \u201d and is told through a series of letters also dating from the 1930s , exchanged between claire francoeur , esterhazy\u2019s fictional mistress , and her sister lille . the fourth part of the book called \u201cthe section of statistics\u201d is set in the era of the affair and follows various characters , among them f\u00e9lix griblin , the real - life archivist of the french counterintelligence unit ( the infamous section des statistiques ) and a family of petty forgers he has engaged to fabricate evidence against dreyfus . these characters , given the title of the novel , are understandably obsessed with paper\u2014establishing false paper trails , recreating different versions of reality , in order to incriminate dreyfus . this group of characters , including claire who also forged evidence , can no longer differentiate truth from falsehood , so enmeshed are they in their own recreations . indeed , claire , whose fate is central to the plot , is a rather pathetic and disagreeable character\u2014rather like her paramour esterhazy ; not only does she deny all responsibility for her actions , she is worried about her own reputation , seeing herself as a wronged victim .\nl\u2019affaire dreyfus : bagarre entre journalistes . 14 august 1899 \u2013 rival news reporters fight one another during the court martial proceedings upon hearing the news of the attempted assassination of labori .\nin 1978 , a television show , les dossiers de l ' ecran , broadcast \u00e9mile zola ou la conscience humaine ( emile zola or the human conscience ) ; stellio lorenzi introduced a debate about human rights based on broadcasts concerning the zola trial . in 1995 , the public television station antenne 2 showed l ' affaire dreyfus , a two -

rousseau , by then prime minister , who faced the prospect of an international boycott of the universal exposition . he advised the president to pardon dreyfus , and arranged an amnesty for anyone involved in the affair . he then turned on the catholic religious orders , making them scapegoats for the villainy of the dozen or so officers who had conspired to keep dreyfus on devil\u2019s island . only one of them was a practising catholic but , on the pretext that jesuits had been behind conspiracies against the government , waldeck -

the french institute - alliance fran\u00e7aise / fiaf , new york ; the italian academy for advanced studies at columbia university ; the italian cultural institute of new york ; and the city university of new york ( cuny ) . since 2007 , erc has been a musicological affiliate in residence at the barry s . brook center for music research and documentation at the cuny graduate center , where erc has established an annual series of interdisciplinary seminars for each of the ensemble ' s concerts . the seminar series is now officially recognized as one of the academic projects of the barry s . brook center for music research and documentation . erc ' s artistic excellence has been recognized through professional performance grants from the new york state council on the arts ( nysca ) and the new york city department of cultural affairs ( dca ) . these grants are a testimony to the growing recognition of the ensemble as one of the most innovative chamber music groups in new york .\nto waldeck - rousseau , the religious orders were the \u201cmoral culprits\u201d of the affair . \u201cif dreyfus and his friends become historians and write textbooks , \u201d wrote the anti - dreyfusard author maurice barr\u00e8s , \u201cwe shall be the villains in the eyes of posterity . \u201d that prediction has turned out to be more accurate than he could ever have imagined . in most histories , the anti - dreyfusards are indeed the villains , their anti - semitism linked to the behaviour of the vichy government during the second world war , and hence to the holocaust . the injustices done to monks and nuns forced into exile , and parents who wished their children to be educated in catholic schools , were airbrushed out of the picture .\nwritten by eve wolf and directed by donald t . sanders , this multi - media production illuminates the controversial story of the 1894 treason conviction of captain alfred dreyfus that had a decades - long reverberation in the political landscape of france and the rest of the world .\nafter some ninety pages , daitch abandons frances and only returns to her in the novel\u2019s final pages . while frances is an engaging character , i found the historical parts of the novel more captivating . in the second section , the novel , after a brief excursion to 1968 , moves back to 1930s paris , where the narrator , a girl called madeleine , lives in her mother\u2019s boarding house . one of the tenants is auguste bastian and the young madeleine describes the old woman\u2019s sly intimations of dreyfus - era secrets not yet revealed . [ 3 ] those familiar with the affair will know that bastian was the cleaning lady - turned - spy who discovered the bordereau authored by commandant marie - charles - ferdinand walsin esterhazy ( wrongly attributed to alfred dreyfus ) , in the wastebasket of maximilian von schwartzkoppen , the german attach\u00e9 in paris , through what was called \u201cthe ordinary track\u201d\u2013hence the title of this section ."]}

i guess the best way to start is to describe what you are about to see . among the various scenes , one that stands out is when we see octomom lying on a leopard - print sheet , wearing short shorts , a dangerously low - cut white tank top , which she pulls down to reveal her 34dd\u2019s . further scenes see octomom in a bubble bath , pouting uncontrollably . octomom is topless with her legs spread and cupping a breast . of course we also see her domestic side , ironing and tackling household chores , dressed in a babydoll nightgown , plus octomom strutting her stuff in spike heels and a see - through shirt . some of you have probably made up your mind before watching this dvd , others will be curious but to be fair , there is plenty here to get you excited .\nporn is a last resort for damaged female celebrities ( probably just above \u201csnorting crushed up tylenol pms with mickey rourke in a pawn shop basement in exchange for a trip to ihop , \u201d ) but there are important distinctions to be made . this is not lindsay lohan agreeing to do playboy . that was a detour . octomom in home alone is a total surrender . it is desperation and latent narcissism manifested as public self - degradation . she is trolling herself . to call it a train wreck would be to diminish legitimate train wrecks . cameron manheim masturbating with a vacuum nozzle while she smeared refried beans on her nipples would be a train wreck . tom sizemore wearing ugg boots and a doo - rag and sweating like a malaria - infected prisoner in a north vietnamese dirt dungeon was a train wreck . home alone is not gross or fascinating or arousing . it\u2019s just the least ambitious , least erotic pornography you\u2019ll ever see . seeing octomom naked is like checking out a tag sale , where you pull your car up to the curb , lower your windows , and then ultimately decide that it\u2019s all garbage and that you should probably go home .\nseriously it has not sunk in yet ,\nsuleman said about her win in a statement to e ! news .\nthis is fantastic , what an honor . hopefully this will open the doors to more opportunities . i ' m proud i did this movie , it helped me grow into a woman . octomom home alone is a true reflection of my intimate side . i am excited to have the award , i am trying to figure out where i will put it .\noctomom is so desperate for money now that she is shooting the solo sex tape - further ruining her already tattered reputation .\nthe movie opens with a sensual tease with a waterfall backdrop . octomom starts off topless and gets fully nude , and proceeds to play with herself . the action is a bit awkward , as octomom publicly stated she had never masturbated previous to the filming of the movie . after a few useless minutes of fake action , the scene comes to an end . a second and third attempt of octomom trying to seduces leads to a rather dull 10 minutes of octomom gyrating and attempting to dance and seduce us . the \u201caction\u201d is just plain ridiculous at this point , with octomom in what i\u2019ll admit is some sexy lingerie . octomom is in the kitchen ironing , cooking , and dancing . although the setup doesn\u2019t work , octomom does look her best in the see through teddy . we\u2019re treated to one last solo scene which is by far the best of the five \u201cscenes\u201d . it\u2019s this last scene that octomom portrays a sense of realism and sensuality and has us believe that she is indeed getting off .\n8 facts about ' octomom ' nadya suleman los angeles ( ap ) \u2014 much has transpired since nadya suleman became\noctomom\nby giving birth to eight premature but otherwise healthy children on jan . 26 , 2009 . check out this story on urltoken urltoken\noctomom\u2019s salary over the last year has been a mixture of \u201csolo\u201d adult film work and her night time gig as a stripper .\ntmz obtained photos of a chair blocking the door several months back but octomom told the site her children were never in danger .\nsummary : octomom home alone will mostly appeal to those curious enough to want to see octomom in the flesh but she does look good enough naked that she made me pitch my tent . her olive - skin , long black curly hair and big titties is how i like my milfs , and octomom is most certainly a cougar in training . but hardcore sex fans\u2014which i am one\u2014will probably not get much stroke value here , but it\u2019s got plenty of masturbatory footage for me ( just check out scenes one , three and five ) . it still comes off as more of a showcase for octomom and her becoming aware of her sexuality but what a way to become aware of it . for a woman who was celibate for 13 years she is definitely a sexy girl oozing plenty of it . with the more comfortable octomom gets used to her body as a sexual object , perhaps we\u2019ll be seeing a follow - up . that would be interesting . it\u2019s better than i expected it to be and i gladly give this title a highly recommended .\nin the fourth scene octomom is dancing seductively in the kitchen while wearing a see - through teddy , and eating random items . that\u2019s really it since octomom basically shows very little of her body ; it\u2019s essentially a scene that focuses in on her natural beauty .\ndespite having obtained funds through stripping and starring in her porn video , it seemed that octomom was going to face homelessness once again .\noctomom reports up to $ 50 , 000 in assets in federal court filings , meaning she owes more than 20 times her net worth .\nsuleman told tmz that she plans to buy a ' dungeon ' with the money from the video and wants to get a home in a low - key gated community where she can ' hide . '\noctomom\u2019s rep did not respond to omg ! \u2019s inquiry about whether or not her client will return to porn in order to pay her bills .\noctomom was apparently nervous before she arrived at the location but soon calmed down after talking to some of the other porn stars at the house .\noctomom is also seen wearing a revealing black negligee which displayed much of her cleavage and she paired the outfit with black peep - toe shoes .\nit ' s the moment none of us have been waiting for . ' octomom ' nadya suleman ' s porn career has become a reality .\nalthough she abandoned \u201coctomom , \u201d suleman says her kids \u2014 especially her oldest \u2014 do have an awareness of her prior fame and poor choices .\noverview : nadya \u201coctomom\u201d suleman hit the radar after giving birth to octuplets in january 2009 . as if that weren\u2019t enough , it was soon discovered that suleman already had six other young children and was unemployed and on public assistance programs . the tabloids got ahold of octomom and never let loose . from there on , things continued to worsen for octomom who declared bankruptcy and could no longer afford to take care of her family . as a result , the industry offers came in and octomom decided to release a solo movie , directed by brad armstrong , and released by wicked pictures .\nnadya ' s former home , which was foreclosed in june , was a shambles and her children were free to run riot and destroy the place - however this time round nadya has set some strict boundaries .\ni still say her kids should be yanked from her home , like , yesterday . they didn\u2019t even touch on the abuse suleman\u2019s poor mother had to endure at the hands of that selfish , venomous harpy .\nnadya suleman\u2014aka octomom\u2014is about to have sex with herself on my computer screen . supposedly . i\u2019m beginning to think that it is a lie , because so far she is just twirling back and forth in front of a fountain , making a face like the time i was in traffic , three lanes from the shoulder , two miles from the exit , and accepted that i was absolutely going to have diarrhea in my pants . now , eight minutes into octomom : home alone , she is trying to balance on a wooden stool , holding both of her breasts in one hand while grabbing her vagina with the other . it is not going well . it looks like someone trying to open the front door while carrying groceries in from the car .\nscene one centers around octomom feeling herself up and stripping in front of a fountain . two minutes in octomom pops her tits out and a few minutes later she starts touching her pussy . eventually , she removes her bikini bottoms , and we get a good shot of her pussy barely covered up by her hand . she fingers it and although there\u2019s no audio of her ( just music ) , its clear octomom is moaning as her finger speeds rapidly inside her cunt hole . she pleasures herself with a toy and octomom is definitely getting off . audio of her finally makes it debut and it\u2019s just octomom doing more moaning before the scene fades into the next scene . this scene clearly sets the tone for the rest of the dvd .\n' nobody takes me seriously in job interviews because of all the negative things people say about\noctomom\n, like calling me a benefits parasite .\nit said : ' there are things going on in the home that need attention right away . the octuplets are not safe . you will be sorry for not checking out now if something bad happens later . '\nnews of the octomom\u2019s pornographic troubles arrive shortly after suleman decided to seek treatment for her addiction to xanax . as the inquisitr reported yesterday , nadya entered a rehabilitation facility for the next 30 days . in order to make sure her children are properly looked after during her time away from home , a handful of nannies and a few friends are caring for the kids .\nsuleman became famous in 2009 after giving birth to octuplets . she was quickly known as octomom and her octuplets became the longest surviving octuplets in the world .\nbut octomom , who is severely financially troubled , started filming her x - rated ' self - pleasure video ' in order to get a big pay day .\nnadya suleman appears as herself in this solo self pleasure video . nadya is seen in various different vignettes making fun of the octomom persona the media has created .\nluckily for suleman , 37 , she does not have to make a $ 2 , 500 rent payment on her family\u2019s new gorgeous 5 , 000 - square - foot two - story home in palmdale , california , until april .\na couple who lives on the same street as the famous family also contacted cps after the nannies wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to everyone in the street , begging them to help and have social services check her home .\nnadya\noctomom\nsuleman is heading to las vegas in january where her solo porn tape has been nominated for four avn awards , which she hopes to win . \u201ci\u2019m very excited to attend the avn awards , nayda tells the huffington post . \u201ci\u2019ve never been to anything like that before so i\u2019m really looking forward to it . \u201d she has been nominated for best celebrity sex tape , best solo release , best dvd extras , and best marketing campaign surrounding her controversial video ,\noctomom home alone . \u201d \u201ci\u2019m totally honored and blown away to even be nominated ,\nshe tells the huffington post .\nit was a fun and life changing experience for me to make the movie . \u201d at the moment she doesn ' t have plans to make another , but that ' s what james cameron said about\navatar\ntoo .\nnadya \u2018octomom\u2019 suleman is back on welfare . the mother of 14 stopped taking money from uncle sam five months ago after she made the leap into the adult porn business .\nnadya suleman \u2014 who now goes by natalie \u2014 stepped away from the spotlight in 2013 after cashing in on her \u201coctomom\u201d fame with a nude photo shoot and sex tape .\nwhile she doesn\u2019t blame anyone for judging her based on her media portrayals at the height of her octomom fame , it did upset her that people questioned her mothering ability .\nearlier this month , organizers announced that suleman would be signing autographs on jan . 18 and 19 , but rodriguez told huffpost that octomom won ' t be doing that either .\nlos angeles ( ap ) \u2014 much has transpired since nadya suleman became\noctomom\nby giving birth to eight premature but otherwise healthy children on jan . 26 , 2009 .\none of the octomom\u2019s kids may have watched her infamous masturbation video , according to tmz . one of nadya\u2019s suleman\u2019s nannies believes that it has happened on at least one occasion .\nyou may be wondering why the public got mad , or why a whole investigation was launched . but before we get into that , let\u2019s take a look at octomom\u2019s past .\nafter patching things up with a strip club in florida and securing a performance deal there ,\noctomom\nscored the best celebrity sex tape nod at the avn awards last night .\noctomom became a public hate figure after the birth of her octuplets as she was accused of draining the tax - payer ' s wallet for all the benefits she was already on .\nalthough her first venture into the world of pornographic entertainment has been nominated for no less than four awards , octomom nadya suleman may not attending the adult video news awards next month .\nwhile nadya suleman may not be in attendance to accept any trophies she might win , the octomom said she was excited that her motion picture had been nominated by adult video news .\nproducers got octomom in the mood by showing her porn movies on a big screen television which seemed to shock her - going by the look on her face in pictures taken on set .\noctomom\u2019s rep also noted that the mom of 14\u2019s stripping days are over , although she is now planning a singing career . her rep confirmed her decision to go off welfare , saying :\nas a mother of such a large brood , octomom ' s decision to bare all for money has seemingly come as a last resort with the brunette now willing to do anything for cash .\nallegations that octomom nadya suleman allowed one of her children to sexually abuse another have been rejected by the d . a . after they said there was insufficient evidence to back up the claims .\nduring a howard stern appearance to promote home alone , octomom agreed to ride on the sybian , stern\u2019s unofficial coronation ceremony for women with little shame and tanned thighs . ( for people who don\u2019t watch porn all day , the sybian is basically an aggro vibrator . ) it is impossible to adequately convey how ridiculous her performance on the device was , but understand that witnessing octomom on the sybian is basically the internet doing donuts on your front lawn . it was like she was doing her best sexxi babez impression , only she based it on phone sex hotline commercials and cinemax instead of real human behavior . she screamed not in ecstasy but in distress , like a recording of a 9 - 1 - 1 call , or the cockpit audio as a plane was about to crash into an ocean . try as she might , octomom has all the sex appeal of a tragedy . but not romeo and juliet , which i learned in tenth grade was a \u201ctragedy , \u201d but was still sort of hot , particularly during the scene where mercutio fingers benvolio\u2019s asshole behind a sunoco station , but mercutio can never say anything , because benvolio is afraid his homosexuality will jeopardize his football scholarship .\nwicked at that time said suleman\u2019s solo masturbation movie offers a collection of vignettes in which she appears in a variety of erotic scenarios , each taking playful aim at different aspects of her octomom persona .\nsuleman reportedly made enough from the sales of the porn flick to lease a home big enough for her and her 14 kids . she hasn ' t confirmed whether she will make another film , though she said in interviews that she found the experience to be\nempowering and liberating .\nshe added : ' if it ' s a job , and it ' s a well - paying job , and it ' s going to allow me to get out of here and move in a very safe , huge home that they deserve , i ' m going to do it . '\nthe recent decision of\noctomom\nnadya suleman to release a solo sex video has aroused heated opinions from people who say her debut in adult films is a sign that she ' s not a good mother .\nit is unknown how much money octomom will receive for her porn appearance , however a source tells the site : \u2018it ' s a lot more than the $ 10 , 000 she made for posing topless . \u2019\nscene two has octomom doing laundry and in the process , whips out her tits and begins rubbing herself through her panties . totally straight up softcore scene that only lasts a few minutes but remember it is a wicked film .\ndespite all the attention she ' s generated , suleman has kept her octuplets largely out of the public eye and shared little about them . as they turn 5 , here are eight things to know about\noctomom :\nscene three is similar to scene one\u2014only this time she\u2019s wearing short shorts and a ripped t - shirt . octomom is looking seductive in front of a pool before moving to a bed , stripping out of her clothes and getting down to business . again , the camera gets a nice view of octomom rubbing her pussy as she is lying flat on back moaning endlessly . she works her toy in just slightly but even though we don\u2019t see full penetration , her masturbation session here is still super erotic to watch . to close the scene armstrong captures octomom fingering herself deep and we see her actually orgasming as some pussy juice begins to flow out . her tight butthole makes its first appearance as well and i have to admit i\u2019d love to see it get penetrated one day . octomom makes good use of her toy to squeeze every ounce of her pussy juice out of her before the scene fades to black .\nthank you so much cheryl for the respect . my kids are my life and i quit the octomom nonsense to go back to being the real mother i was prior to having the babies ( who are 7 and thriving ) .\nfor those of you who have hated the idea that your tax dollars are helping support octomom , you can rest assured that they are no longer needed , as nadya suleman is officially off of welfare , thanks to her stripping and porn gigs .\nat first , it seemed like nadya suleman was just a mom who had an incredibly improbable event happen to her . however , this was not the case , as she gave birth to octuplets intentionally , as she and her doctor performed in vitro fertilization to transfer twelve fertilized embryos into her . this caused public outrage , and she has been pegged \u201coctomom\u201d ever since . today , octomom is more under the radar , and perhaps forgotten . that\u2019s probably best for her mental health , and her family .\nhere they are \u2014 the pictures you ' ve all been waiting for . . . or were hoping would never surface . . . octomom . . . completely naked and doing the unspeakable . . . surrounded by baby stuff ,\ntmz said .\nthe nanny added that nadya asked her to block the site from her son\u2019s phone . however , when the nanny asked the octomom for a passcode , suleman decided it was too much trouble . instead , she had her then - boyfriend discuss pornography with her son .\nshe may want to leave room on the shelf for more awards . octomom , who had to get her family of 15 back on welfare in early january , will be returning to the stripper pole on valentine\u2019s day at t\u2019s lounge in west palm beach , florida , as part of a legal deal for the club not to sue her for breach of contract last summer . octomom angered the club when she danced topless at nearby playhouse , for which she was paid $ 5 , 000 ( plus the $ 10 she charged for autographs ) .\nwhile octomom might be excited for the video ' s release , not everyone had the same reaction . last week , late night talk show host jimmy kimmel , took to the streets of los angeles with the photos in hand to get honest reactions from the unassuming public .\ncorrection : the medical board investigating octomom\u2019s doctor furthermore discovered not only that the 12 embryos used to make the octuplets were newly made for that very purpose \u2013 belying octomom\u2019s pro - life heroine claim that they were leftover from previous procedures and by implanting them all she was \u2018saving\u2019 them from a non - existent expiration date \u2013 but that octomom furthermore still had 40 - some additional frozen embryos left in storage , created for previous implantations , which she repeatedly rejected in favor of creating new ones in the hopes they\u2019d boost her shot at a high - order multiple pregnancy . nothing about the octiplets birth was accidental , much less \u2018miraculous . \u2019 she meticulously & quite deliberately engineered 12 inceptions from the very start , against medical advice . whatever lifelong deficits to which it sentenced the poor octiplets is by now a matter of speculation .\nexactly ! i don\u2019t often do the grammar thing but jeez , there\u2019s at least one redundant sentence in every paragraph . and how many times do we need to be reminded who she is and that she\u2019s otherwise know as octomom ? um apparently doesn\u2019t teach any \u2018less is more\u2019 rules .\nif you are at all intrigued by this video , it\u2019s probably by the opportunity to glimpse a vagina that , logically , should look like a muddy soccer cleat or the pizza box you keep on the floor of the garage . but only four of her kids were delivered naturally , and the reality is it\u2019s impossibly small . the problem with home alone isn\u2019t her physical appearance , the problem is it\u2019s almost uncomfortable to watch , because she couldn\u2019t conceivably enjoy what she\u2019s doing . i still watched , because i\u2019m a disgusting person . anyway , most of the video is just generic slow - motion sequences with a lot of provocative boob caressing , really her only move . there\u2019s also a bizarre scene where she irons some clothing and does laundry and makes eggs , like a good little woman should ( lol misogyny ) , but who gives a shit honestly because this is the worst thing .\noctomom , aka nadya suleman , has sparked further controversy by releasing a porn video , which has now been made available . pictures and previews surfaced last week , which caused strong backlash from those urging the mother of 14 not to be drawn into the world of adult entertainment to support her large family .\n\u201ci was alive again , \u201d she says . \u201cas \u2018octomom , \u2019 i was the walking dead . when i woke up and i went back to my roots , my helping profession , and my kids , we were struggling financially but it didn\u2019t matter . i never felt so free and so happy in my life . \u201d\nthe single mom of 14 and her brood are reportedly back on welfare after just five short months of being off of it . according to tmz , octomom is getting $ 1 , 800 a month for food and $ 1 , 000 in emergency cash , in addition to medi - cal benefits for mental health and dental issues .\ntmz reports that they were the first to announce octomom\u2019s decision to go on welfare in march , and they are also claiming an exclusive on the news that suleman was able to rake in more than enough cash to support her and her 14 kids . thanks to her xxx gigs , suleman has raked in a 6 - figure salary .\nher octuplets stayed in the hospital well after they had been born , to the point where suleman even wondered if she was on the verge of losing custody of them . she went on to buy a new house , which was a curious and an interesting move , considering that she had little money and was still unemployed . her income from the back injury settlement had also stopped during 2008 , and the purchase of the house took place in 2009 . eventually , she got to go the hospital and retrieve her kids . however , there were riots protesting this , even going as far as throwing a baby car seat at her vehicle when she was returning home with her seventh octuplets . the seat broke through the back window of her car and shattered the glass . it was a violent , rough moment in the timeline of octomom\u2019s life .\nlos angeles ( ap ) \u2014 much has transpired since nadya suleman became\noctomom\nby giving birth to eight premature but otherwise healthy children on jan . 26 , 2009 . she ' s gone from medical marvel \u2014 hers are the only known full set of octuplets to live past their first week \u2014 to national punch line for her various money - generating efforts\nthe 38 - year - old single mother of 14 children ( she had six before the octuplets ) has been a porn actress , nude model , celebrity boxer and birth - control pitchwoman as she ' s struggled to support herself and her children . she ' s lost a home to foreclosure , teetered on the brink of bankruptcy and fought with nannies and others who tried to help her , leaving in her wake a string of publicists , lawyers and good - samaritan types who no longer want to talk about her .\nwitness the octomom in the nude , only at wicked pictures , the website reads . jessica drake introduced nadya suleman to the world of erotica and she couldn ' t wait to explore the joys of female masturbation in her very own solo girl sex scene ! the site also offers exclusive behind the scenes uncensored footage from the video directed by adult film maker , brad armstrong .\nthe website states that it has been in contact with one of the nannies as well as someone from the orange county department of children and family services . the nanny explained that nadya suleman became quite upset after catching her oldest son watching a pornographic video on his phone . not surprisingly , the octomom became even more alarmed upon discovering that she was the star of the show .\nof course not long after this happened some other lady gave birth to multiples ( although not as many as \u201coctomom\u201d and was lavished with ooh and aaws and more help than a person could imagine . oh yes , she had a husband , a lovely house with an income perfectly able to meet the needs of everyone in it\u2026 there were several other children in that family as well .\nhowever , occasionally , if the woman loses most of her fertilized eggs through miscarriages often , the doctors performing this procedure will take multiple eggs out of the woman and fertilize them , to increase the chances that one of them survives . in extreme cases , all of them may survive , resulting in an unnatural amount of babies birthed . this is what happened with nadya suleman , or octomom .\nthe practical help octomom needed was never given . you have a new baby ; get a welcome home basket , a house you can\u2019t afford the upkeep on and there ya go . i do believe , at first , there was some help with nannies but when these kids were say in their terrible 2\u2019s nothing . now how could one person possibly keep up with all that without help and i\u2019m not suggesting anyone deprive themselves of much maybe some groceries ; offer to help with the care an hour or two once in awhile , some honest to god caring about this girl who\u2019d made such foolish choices and gotten herself in a mess but no only she is a welfare leech and everyone needed to kick her while she was down . how sad but as you so uppety say we shall agree to disagree and you go on in your mealy mouthed self centered world thinking the worse of someone who actually needs the help and didn\u2019t get much of it . personally i don\u2019t care to have another message from you or anyone of your nature .\nafter her appearances all over television , from the oprah winfrey show to her own reality television show , the interest and buzz in octomom started to die down a bit , and suleman was now a normal person . she felt much better out of the spotlight ; however , her plans to go back to school and then get a job to support her kids did not go as planned . it was reported in 2012 that she was back on welfare , and shortly after suleman filed for bankruptcy . she said that she had over a million dollars in debts . her house was put up for sale , and things got even murkier . she was accused of neglecting her children by spending a lot of her money on spas , salons , and other services . she was blowing all her money on temporary things when what she should have been doing was buying permanent things like security for children . the claim was later dropped by social workers when they saw that her children were in an okay setting and the children were allowed to stay at home with nadya .\nproblems while attempting to have kids . suleman brought up the idea of using in vitro fertilization , but gutierrez was against the whole idea of \u201ctest tube babies\u201d and didn\u2019t want to go that route . this is what caused the split , as suleman wanted kids but her husband didn\u2019t want to be part of the unnatural procedure . he says that he isn\u2019t the father of any of suleman\u2019s kids , but he wishes the woman known as octomom good luck with her future endeavors .\nms . suleman , i would like to congratulate you for finishing school and getting your job to support your family . i know it couldn\u2019t have been easy to accomplish with a houseful of kids let alone 8 infants . i don\u2019t understand what possessed you to decide to have more children after you already had 6 , but that\u2019s not my call . you have obviously been a decent mom , because the welfare people investigated and you still have your kids . i\u2019m sure all these haters on this thread have never made one single mistake in their whole life ( not that i consider having all 8 babies a mistake because i feel abortion is wrong too ) . i wish you continued success in your future endeavors , and there\u2019s at least one mom and grandma out here rooting for you !\nisn\u2019t this the lady that scammed worker\u2019s compensation for ten years and had multiple pregnancies during that time ? the same lady that gave her children horsey rides on her \u201cbadly injured back\u201d ? if that wasn\u2019t the octomom character then which of the dark and desperate characters was it ? was it natalie guttierez ? then who is the welfare fraud person ? who is the adult film lady ? i can\u2019t keep all these characters straight . is the same lady that says she is a counselor ? what is she licensed as ?\nsuleman became known as octomom in 2009 after she gave birth to octuplets , and they have gone on to become the longest surviving octuplets in the world . however , she controversially was implanted with 12 embryos , despite having six children already . many have criticized her for being irresponsible for having so many children with no apparent means to take care of them . her inevitable road into welfare benefits have only gone to prove her critics correct , and have angered many who feel regular hard working and responsible taxpayers are supporting her despite her irresponsibility .\n1 ) before she was octomom : suleman worked for a state mental hospital in 1999 when she said she suffered a back injury during an inmate riot . she went on to collect more than $ 165 , 000 in disability payments and used some of the money to help pay for in - vitro fertilization treatments that produced her first six children . she has a bachelor ' s degree in child and adolescent development from california state university , fullerton , and was studying for a master ' s in counseling when she became pregnant with the octuplets .\ndear bindar dunit , i agree that as octomom , years ago , i remained stuck in a state of defense . when a person feels under attack , persecuted , condemned , or highly criticized , they will not be in the frame of mind of being transparent or vulnerable with their feelings , thoughts , or anything for that matter . therefore , i utilized every defense mechanism in the book ! rationalization , denial , justification , minimization , etc . this is used to psychologically protect ourselves from the attacker ( this for me being the world ) . when one is attacked ( and today i admit to making so many dumb and desperate decisions ) , they go into \u201cfight or flight mode . \u201d by remaining fixed in that cycle of defense , exhaustingly \u201cfighting\u201d for years , i eventually switched to \u201cflight\u201d

what - sticks humor , and its charming setup of a bunch of losers trying to transform their destinies by changing the way 1986 turned out . the new film has none of that . but it tries to . it tries to repeat everything the original did , and winds up leaving you stone -

aged american male idiocy that holds true wherever ( or whenever ) one happens to be positioned along the space - time continuum . it\u2019s that internal logic that lends \u201c hot tub time machine 2 \u201d not only its rough -

( hot tub time machine is awaiting a final mpaa rating but i have no doubt this is going to be an r - rated picture . ) the hangover was such a huge success because of its strong word of mouth .\nhot tub time machine received generally positive reviews ; review aggregate rotten tomatoes reports that 64 % of critics have given the film a positive review based on 187 reviews , with an average score of 6 . 1 / 10 [ 6 ] with the consensus that\nits flagrantly silly script\u2014and immensely likable cast\u2014make up for most of its flaws\n. [ 6 ] review aggregatemetacritic awarded the film an average score of 63 out of 100 indicating ' generally favorable reviews ' . [ 7 ]\na couple years ago , i was in iceland with friends and we\u2019d stopped in at a pizza shop after a full day on the road . we were going to grab a quick slice and then check in at our inn so we could get some sleepy before another busy day . then we noticed hot tub time machine was on the tv in the pizza joint , already about 20 minutes in . we stayed for the entire movie . all of us had seen it before .\nif we were paid - up subscribers to angry - god - brand old - time religion , we\u2019d say it had to be divine retribution . how else did it come to pass that a 2010 comedy that failed to turn any sizable profit has yielded an even crummier , entirely laugh - free sequel ? let\u2019s do some sums , shall we ? hot tub time machine cost $ 36 million ( production budget ) plus somewhere between $ 50 and $ 100 million marketing spend . it took $ 64 , 572 , 262 worldwide . huh ? do those numbers say \u201cfranchise potential\u201d to you ?\nnot that a polished script mattered , given the extensive out - there ad - libbing by the actors . the group again attempts to travel back in time , but the mystical hot tub takes them to 2025 . surprisingly , it looks like 2015 . corddry jokes that the look of the future directly resulted from budget constraints . duke takes exception .\nthis timeline is where you\u2019ll spend most of your time , getting instant updates about what matters to you .\nremember \u201cred dawn , \u201d \u201cthe karate kid\u201d and \u201cback to the future\u201d ? \u201chot tub time machine\u201d sure does , the last one in particular . crispin glover , george mcfly himself , shows up as the ski lodge bellhop , and while there is no delorean on the premises , there is a brilliant send - up of the prom scene where michael j . fox\u2019s marty mcfly invented rock \u2019n\u2019 roll . ( it involves mr . robinson and the black eyed peas . i\u2019ve spoiled nothing ) .\nthe movie centered on four men , bored and unhappy with their lives , who travel back in time via a hot tub to a fateful night of their teenaged years in the 1980s . the movie , which also starred chevy chase , was a love letter to ' 80s teen comedies but seen through a modern - - somewhat coarse - - lens .\nthis site is awesome , i\u2019ve found most every song that i\u2019ve ever looked for from a movie here when i couldn\u2019t find it elsewhere . i am having trouble finding one song from hot tub time machine though , it\u2019s the song where nick ( craig robinson ) meets up with his band for the first time and he says \u201cwow this is trippy\u201d right before he gets together with the groupie . it only plays for a few seconds but long enough for me to hear the lyrics \u201ci\u2019ve said it before and i\u2019ll say it again\u201d it sounds like a classic rock song but i can\u2019t find it anywhere .\nhot tub time machine\nfollows a group of best friends who ' ve become bored with their adult lives : adam has been dumped by his girlfriend ; lou is a party guy who can ' t find the party ; nick ' s wife controls his every move ; and video game - obsessed jacob won ' t leave his basement . after , a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub , the men wake up , heads ' pounding , in the year 1986 . this is their chance to kick some past and change their futures - one will find a new love life , one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies , one will find his mojo , and one will make sure he still exists !\nget ready to kick some serious past with the wildly inappropriate unrated version of hot tub time machine . the outrageous laughs bubble up when four friends share a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub , only to wake up with nasty hangovers in 1986 - - back when girls wore leg warmers , guys watched red dawn and michael jackson was black ! now , nice - guy adam ( john cusack ) , party animal lou ( rob corddry ) , married man nick ( craig robinson ) and mega - nerd jacob ( clark duke ) must relive a wild night of sex , drugs and rock ' n ' roll . and , with the help of a one - armed bellhop ( crispin glover ) and a mysterious repairman ( chevy chase ) , these time tourists just might get lucky , survive the acid - wash ' 80s and change their future\u2014forever !\nthe guys get the chernobly and race back to the hot tub . they spill the chernobly on the controls and a massive temporal vortex appears . as the hot tub starts to activate , lou announces he is going to remain in 1986 , admitting to adam that he was trying to kill himself , and that if he goes back it will happen all over again . in a gesture of friendship , adam says he will stay with lou , and when they hug , lou pushes adam backwards into the spinning vortex .\nthe plot this time is set in motion by lou\u2019s getting shot in the dick by someone seeking vengeance ; it\u2019s up for grabs who might be out to get him , since lou is an equal - opportunity jerkwad . in order to track down the would - be assassin , the trio hop back in the tub and wind up in 2025 , suggesting that lou\u2019s assailant is from the future . or something . anyway , the plot is the second problem \u2014 in that the film even has one . the ambling , hangout quality of the first movie is now largely gone , replaced by an actual ( poorly executed ) narrative . this time , the film asks us to care \u2026 well , not care , exactly , but to pay attention to the minutiae of the story line . which is really way too much for a movie called hot tub time machine 2 to ask of us .\ncan i call you john ? you seem like the sort of fellow who wouldn\u2019t mind taking things casually right from the get - go . i\u2019ll bet you even ask assistants and bellhops who call you \u201cmr . cusack\u201d to call you \u201cjohn\u201d instead . make \u2019em feel real comfortable , like you\u2019re a swell guy who they could grab a beer with if you both had the time . anyhow , that\u2019s not why i\u2019m writing this letter . i\u2019m writing this letter because i just saw the trailer for hot tub time machine 2 , and i\u2019d be lying if i said i weren\u2019t insanely , unnecessarily excited . four years of waiting , finally almost over .\nyoutube red\u2019s comedy series rhett & link\u2019s buddy system is set to return with its second season on nov . 29 . joining stars and co - creators rhett mclaughlin and charles\nlink\nneal this season are celebrity guests tony hale ( veep ) , mayim bialik ( big bang theory ) , leslie bibb ( talladega nights : the ballad of ricky bobby ) , rob corddry ( ballers ) and more . the eight - episode season will be directed by steve pink ( hot tub time machine ) and will be executive produced by the\u2026\nbut after lou gets shot in the dick , he and the others have to go into the hot tub to save him . and for reasons too convoluted to go into , they wind up going forward in time 10 years , to witness a trippy near future full of virtual reality game shows , super - drugs , hoverboards , sentient self - driving cars , and other shit .\njoin the guys in their reckless journey as you attempt to put together the pieces from another blacked - out bender in the tub .\nrunning time : 93 minutes . rated r ( profanity , nudity , crude and sexual humor , drug abuse ) .\njohn cusack must have used his time - travel powers to wisely foresee sitting out this stale journey into the future .\nin september 2016 , william zabka \u2013 best known for portraying quintessential 1980s teen movie villain johnny lawrence in the original the karate kid \u2013 was summoned to his favorite mexican restaurant in l . a . the reason : a mysterious meeting with three young comedy writers who had found big success in recent years with the hot tub time machine and harold and kumar franchises . he had absolutely no idea what they wanted .\nwe must have finished four or five baskets of chips and salsa ,\nsays zabka .\nbut they kept pushing away the waiter from\nha ! french called hot tub time machine a\nlively comedy . . . an amusing homage to the genre . . . funny , sexy . . . among its pleasures is . . .\nyeah , great , thanks , whatever . james white in sfx magazine said it was\ndisarmingly fresh and very funny\n. tom huddleston in time out called it\npost - pub perfection\n. hey , only if you don ' t particularly like women . but hey again , maybe i ' m just being selfish and mean , just like those old , selfish , ugly , stupid , vulgar whore - bitch - neurotic slut - hags in selfish in the slutty .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nit ' s easily one of the biggest cult classic films of all time and troma entertainment ' s the toxic avenger has been in the process of being remade for a long time . producers first got the remake rights back in early 2010 , but by the end of that year , director steve pink ( hot tub time machine ) had been hired to write and direct a pg - 13 action comedy take on troma ' s very r - rated original . pink wrote the screenplay with daniel c . mitchell , their story followed an average teen who joins an environmental club in hopes to impress his crush . then while investigating a waste plant , he falls into a tub of waste and transforms into a radioactive hero . arnold schwarzenegger was even offered a role in 2013 , but it wasn ' t clear if he would play , and john travolta was even rumored to be up for a role . then last year , it was announced that pink was out as director ,\nthe movie is also a postmodern re - evaluation of the entire genre , complete with music , clothing and other artifacts of the era , but viewed through a modern - day lens . the 1980s are seen as both a simpler time , with more personal connection , but also a more superficial time . these ideas are not explored with as much clarity and depth as they could have been - - some of the characters ' problems are too easily solved via the use of the time machine - - but the result is still satisfying and entertaining .\none difference between that campaign and the campaigns that mgm is doing with hot tub time machine and what paramount did with paranormal activity is that the former is targeting the right users by engaging them on their turf and on their networks and not trying to bring the activity to their portals . sure , you still have to go to the eventful site to sign - up , but you can share trailers and other information via twitter , facebook and other services . plus , an established platform like eventful has the back - end to deal with scheduling issues that a homegrown solution might lack .\nusing a hot tub . it ' s got to be stupid . however , stupid movies can also be entertaining movies . hell , stupid movies can even be good movies , if the people making them understand the type of film they are involved with . so is that the case here ?\nanyway , as much as i enjoyed the trailer , the fact that you weren\u2019t in it never stopped being at the front of my mind . it\u2019s not that your character was one of the great all - time film characters , but he was the glue of that group \u2014 a very enjoyable group , but one that could veer towards excessively zany without a grounding force ( that\u2019s you ! ) to keep them centered . and yes , i do appreciate the irony of worrying about people being too bizarre in a movie about a time - traveling hot tub .\nthe original had an appealing , nostalgic premise : loser guys discover that the tub at their ski - vacation spa takes them back to 1986 . scott , who wasn ' t in the first tub , says he was so taken at the premiere that he all but signed on for future installments .\ni\u2019ve been quoted on the cover of dvds before , i feel duty - bound to disclose at this point , in relation to films that statistical probability seems to suggest , you might not appreciate as much as i . but this is different ; this is beyond the pale . who could say such a thing ? have they not seen many other movies ? what on earth was going through their minds ? i mean , what the hell ? i decide then and there , clutching the hot tub time machine 2 dvd , that i wouldn\u2019t be satisfied until i tracked that person down and asked for myself .\nbut it ' s not all bad \u2014 every time you just want to pour a hundred gallons of bleach into this hot tub and walk away , the movie comes out with a genuinely inventive gag . and the fact that we ' re in the future and playing with insane time - travel mechanics means that the film has license to get a lot nuttier with its concepts . like the aforementioned futuristic drugs . there ' s actually a version of back to the future 2 ' s beloved\ndrawing a timeline diagram\nsequence , as well as a lot of zany discussion of time - travel mechanics . in the context of alternate universes , fringe gets brought up a couple times . by the end of the movie , we ' re fully throwing logic out the window and embracing the full potential for lunacy in time - travel ."]}

could i refuse ? i had $ 20 , a ten pints could certainly make me feel just that little bit better . i walked in the old wooden door , it creaked loudly as i walked in . there was a long wooden bar , with a couple of old chipped stools in front of them . one of them only had three legs . that could be rather hazardous after ten pints . i walked up and took a seat , admiring the old dusty bottles of liquor lined up on the shelfs behind the bar . from a door in the far corner , a small plump man walked in . he was holding a glass and wiping it with a dirty old rag . in fact , i think the glass was probably cleaner before he wiped it . what happened next surprised me the most ; in the most cheery tone , he yelled , \u201cwell howdy strange . it\u2019s a good thing you\u2019re not lost

and leads to the spread of ideas , knowledge and cultural phenomena . this unit has in recent times gone viral on social media . what name did dawkins give this unit of information ?\n2 . harald \u2018bl\u00e5tand\u2019 gormsson was a great king who ruled denmark and norway in the 10th century and united scandinavia . he was called \u2018bl\u00e5tand\u2019 because he had a dental hygiene problem . in 1996 , when a coalition of companies from that area came up with a revolutionary information sharing technology they decided to name it after him , to honour his effort to unite people . what did they call it ?\n3 . the internet was invented at cern in switzerland . initially , different parts of the system were situated in different offices , using the physical lay - out of cern\u2019s network and buildings . for example , the central database was in the fourth room on the fourth floor . what interesting message , which we are used to nowadays , emerged from this situation ?\n4 . this gentleman from the 1800s made a lot of money through armaments , especially thorough his company \u2018bofors\u2019 ( yes , the same as in the scandal ) . one day , he read a premature obituary of himself when a french paper confused him with his brother , who had died . the obituary called him the \u2018merchant of death\u2019 and this broke his heart . he went on to bequeath his fortune to institute something that would make his name honourable . what institute was this ? who was the gentleman ?\n6 . the popular explorer who arrived at this region in the north atlantic thought he had travelled around the world and reached our country\u2019s shores ( though he was far from it ! ) and this region was , thus , given a certain name . this misinformation has survived through the centuries and is most famously used only in cricket . what is this region\u2019s name ?\n7 . the mars climate orbiter was a robotic space probe launched by nasa in 1998 . however , a year later , a navigational error pushed the spacecraft dangerously close to the planet\u2019s atmosphere where it presumably burned and broke into pieces . it was later discovered that this was due to some misinformation between the spacecraft team and the navigation team . what simple error led to this $ 125 million loss ?\n8 . in 1870 a german chemist calculated the amount of iron found in different vegetables . when publishing his findings , he accidentally left out a decimal point for one particular vegetable and instead of \u20183 . 5 mg per 100g\u2019 he wrote \u201835mg\u2019 . this started a myth about this vegetable that even gave rise to a popular cartoon character . which vegetable\u2019s history in pop culture is based on this misinformation ?\n9 . in september 1997 , two it fellows wanted to rename their new product from \u2018backrub\u2019 to something that sounded cooler . while brainstorming , one of them suggested a word which meant the number 1 to the power 100 . a student , sean , misheard it , misspelled it and searched for a domain name\u2014which was available ! the tech guys loved the misspelled name and within hours the company was registered . what was the original word and the misspelled word ?\n10 . this animal\u2019s scientific name is cavia porcellus . the common name is a perfect example of misinformation . it is neither the type of

their work for them . at christmas , they decide to give him a present - which perhaps they regret .\nthe house at rathmore was a fine building in the georgian style . it took twenty servants to keep it going . one night , about 100 years ago , the scullery boy went to sleep in front of the kitchen stove . sometime after midnight , the clanging of pots and pans awoke him . he opened his eyes and turned over to see who among the servants was keener to wash and scrub than to sleep . did they not do enough of that in the day ? he wondered . only the strangest of persons could feel such a desire .\nas it happened , what he saw was stranger than strange . a creature , half man , half donkey , was standing with his front hooves in the sink . when the long eared fellow had finished with the pots , he filled a bucket , and began to mop the floor . finally he came over to the stove , ignoring the boy , and threw water over the logs . he cleaned the grate , took out the ashes , brought in new logs , and relit the fire . at last , he clip - clopped out of the door , briefly letting in a cool gust of wind .\nfor what the boy had described was indeed a pooka , which often takes the form of a donkey or a goat or a horse .\neveryone agreed that molly had never spoken a wiser word . that night , and every night for the following weeks , the servants left piles of plates and pots for the pooka to clean , and no matter how much work they left for him , it was always done in the morning . sometimes they heard him hard at work , but nobody dared to go down and take a look at their most welcome visitor . at last , one night towards christmas , a brave young lad made up his mind to speak to the pooka to ask if there was anything he wanted in return for all he was doing . he sat up late in a big chair in the corner of the kitchen . as the clock struck one in the morning , the back door opened , and in trotted the pooka . this night he began by scrubbing the great oak table around which the servants ate their meals .\nthe next day the boy reported to the servants all that the pooka had told him . they were grateful indeed to this strange creature for freeing their lives from the burden of cleaning . each one of them was happy to put a few pennies towards a good piece of material that molly made into a coat for the pooka . on the night of st stephen , the day that followed christmas , when the used pots and pans were piled almost to the ceiling , the boy waited up late in the kitchen . when the pooka arrived for work as usual , he presented the gift to him .\n\u201ci am touched by your kindness , \u201d said the pooka with a tear in his big donkey eye . he put his four legs through the holes that molly had cut for him and said : \u201cit is a fine coat indeed for a pooka such as i . do not forget to pass on my regards and thanks to the servants of this great house . \u201d and then he started to clip - clop towards the door .\nand from that evening on the lazy servants had to do all their own work .\nand that was the story of the pooka in the kitchen . it\u2019s one of a number of traditional irish stories that i\u2019m reading for urltoken . it was freely adapted by bertie from a collection of tales edited by the poet , wb yeats . do visit urltoken for more original and traditional tales from all over the world .\nnice story , but he

this spy , known as\nthe angel ,\nstopped them .\non february 21 , 1973 , a libyan passenger plane , libyan airlines flight 114 , flying from benghazi to cairo , entered the airspace over the sinai peninsula . the sinai had been under israel\u2019s control since the six - day war in 1967 , when israel inflicted heavy losses on the egyptian military and occupied the entire peninsula . israeli jets scrambled to intercept the plane , making contact just after 2 p . m . the fighter pilots gave the universal signal ordering the libyan plane to follow them . their plan was to have the libyan plane land at the air base in rephidim , in the middle of the sinai desert .\nat first , it seemed that the libyan pilot was following . but as they closed in on the air base , the plane suddenly veered west , back toward the suez canal . the fighter pilots reported its unusual behavior and the fact that all the plane\u2019s window shades were shut , making it impossible to see into the aircraft . the airliner was now heading west for the suez canal area covered by the egyptian surface - to - air missile umbrella , which was off - limits to commercial traffic \u2015 yet despite this , the surface - to - air missiles didn\u2019t open fire . the whole sinai had been a no - fly zone for civilian aircraft since israel had captured it in 1967 .\nadd to this the fact that there had been explicit warnings about terrorists trying to blow up an airliner over tel aviv or another israeli target , including the nuclear facility in dimona , and the decision by the israeli air force commander to request permission to shoot down the aircraft is not surprising . the chief of staff of the israeli defense force , who had not slept the previous night because of an operation against palestinian terrorists in tripoli , lebanon , was now awakened , and he promptly approved the request . a few minutes later , the smoking remains of the aircraft were strewn across the desert floor . of the 113 passengers on board , less than 10 survived . one of the dead was salah bousseir , the former foreign minister of libya .\nlater on , it would emerge that the airplane\u2019s communication system had failed . the pilot , who had strayed off course , at first thought the fighter jets were egyptian and the airfield was cairo international airport . when he realized his mistake , he panicked and decided to make a break for it . worried about the terror warnings and finding themselves under intense time pressure , the israelis made a tragic mistake .\nan israeli soldier stands guard over the charred wreckage of the libyan airlines 727 here . the plane was downed by isreali jets over sinai on feb . 21 , 1973 . 92 persons were killed .\nthe libyan leader , col . muammar gaddafi , could not ignore what he and his citizens viewed as an unprovoked israeli attack on a defenseless libyan civilian aircraft . his first phone call was to anwar sadat , the president of egypt , to talk about retaliation . gaddafi\u2019s proposals included attacking the israeli port city of haifa with libyan bombers . sadat , however , was concerned about ruining his plans for a surprise attack on israel ( egypt would begin what became known as the yom kippur war less than eight months later ) and urged restraint , though he could not say why .\nbut gaddafi was not a man to whom restraint came easily . he was frustrated , and his people wanted blood . the public outcry reached its peak during the funerals of the victims , when crowds swarmed the egyptian consulate in benghazi , enraged at sadat\u2019s failure to protect the plane and his weak response to the crime .\ngaddafi decided to act without egypt\u2019s cooperation . on april 17 , he summoned the captain of an egyptian submarine stationed in libya , functioning as part of the libyan navy according to a military pact gaddafi had signed with cairo . the libyan leader ordered the captain to sail east into the mediterranean and to torpedo the famed british cruise liner queen elizabeth 2 , which was on its way to ashdod carrying dignitaries to israel for the country\u2019s 25th independence day celebrations . the captain asked for the order in writing , which gaddafi supplied . after a full day undersea , the vessel surfaced and the captain radioed his commander in the egyptian navy , reporting on his mission . the report quickly reached sadat , who responded by ordering the captain immediately to head back to port in alexandria . soon after the qe2 had left israel and was back out at sea , sadat informed gaddafi that the commander had failed to locate the british ship ."]}

minded criminals . the relaxed eccentricity of family plot shows hitchcock adapting to the new hollywood of the 1970s , and the film\u2019s bemused attitude towards the scheming of its characters makes it a fitting coda to a career spent examining human foibles .\nfar from city lights , and under strictly controlled local ordinances , the gold -

the actors are really filming the scenes themselves , working from a loose outline of the plot , but without prior knowledge of what half the scares were going to be . that ambiguous ending lets you make up whatever explanation you like for the events of the film , which means whatever the scariest thing you can think of is , that\u2019s what the film is about .\nflexible or rigid , clear or colors , we have the tubing you need . lamp guards provide safety where there is a risk of breaking a fluorescent bulb . tube packs are great for mailing posters or water resistant storage for maps . the epoxy tube is light and strong , perfect for kite building . try polycarbonate tube for virtually unbreakable applications .\nmelodrama and the exigencies of fantasy - fulfillment plotting demand that a high - stakes fight be arranged for adonis far earlier in his career than would ever be the case in real life . positioned exactly half - way into the film , his first east coast bout sees the hopeful getting banged up a bit before getting the feel of things . more interesting is the way it ' s been shot \u2014 all in one take for the first round , with the steadicam moving around the ring in a manner as agile as the boxers themselves and always catching the key action .\nin her sprawling , feature - length film ouroboros , basma alsharif pays homage to the gaza strip in an allegorical narrative that posits the end of civilization is also its beginning and that hope can emerge from destruction . evoking the symbol of the ouroboros , a serpent devouring its own tail , the film alludes to the cyclical nature of both life and history via the epic journey of the heartbroken protagonist , diego marcon .\nin ireland , quinn produced and starred in this is my father , written and directed by his brother paul and filmed by his brother declan , an award - winning cinematographer . he also starred in song for a raggy boy , for which he was nominated for best actor at the irish film awards . the film played at the sundance and tribeca film festivals . quinn was also seen in evelyn , directed by bruce beresford and co - starring pierce brosnan . other credits from ireland\u2019s film industry include his sister marian\u2019s drama 32a , vic sarin\u2019s shine of rainbows and conor mcpherson\u2019s eclipse .\nthat could be seen as simply a belated chapter head for the entire butch section , boyhood and prizefighting career . or it could mark the start of another , much longer block : the aftermath of the fight and butch\u2019s flight from marcellus wallace . either way , the sense of a film composed of large - scale parts is very strong . as the film goes along , we realize that each block tends to concentrate on certain characters and provide distinct , sometimes overlapping , stretches of time .\nalso directed by takashi miike , one missed call is a parody of the endless string of soggy dead girl movies made in japan at the time . but somehow it\u2019s still really creepy . the premise is that , as the title suggests , teenagers are receiving missed calls on their mobile phones . the mystery caller leaves a horrifying voicemail : the sound of the phone\u2019s owner screaming in agony . and since the call came from the person\u2019s own phone , and appears to come from a few days in the future , it\u2019s clearly a sign of impending doom . sure enough , the kids all die just as the missed call predicted . there\u2019s a nasty little backstory about evil little girls , and a bonkers televised exorcism , and generally , it\u2019s a great film whether you love or loathe stories about scary dead kids .\na dead rip off of the original movie , episode 4 . from the crappy looking infinity cg roll opening sequence , bar scene and light sabre fights to a janitor identifying a weakness in the battle star , this movie is chock full of inside jokes and tired ideas . the only redeeming grace for this movie is a solid performance by harrison ford as han solo and a compelling performance by daisy ridley as rey who represents the resurrection of the jedi . fun to watch and full of action , but there are numerous dead spots and far too much nod to the star wars wonks of yesteryear .\n\u201cscenes linger in the mind : the light playing on darth vader\u2019s gleaming surfaces as this metal man , who\u2019s like a giant armored insect , fills the screen ; han solo saving luke\u2019s life on the ice planet hoth by slashing open a snow camel and warming him inside ; luke\u2019s hand being lopped off , and his seemingly endless fall through space ; chewbacca , the wookiee , yowling in grief or in comic fear , his sounds so hyper - human you couldn\u2019t help laughing at them ; the big - eared green elf yoda , with shining ancient eyes , who pontifically instructs luke in how to grow up wise \u2014 yoda looks like a wonton and talks like a fortune cookie . \u201d\nso much of the effectiveness of a horror movie comes down to its sound design . a well - placed creak , groan , echo , or jangle can make the difference between something completely normal and something terrifying . new scary noises don\u2019t come along very often , but ju - on : the grudge managed to come up with something unlike any other scary noise you\u2019ve heard before . its ghost makes a weird rattling , burping groan as she approaches ; it\u2019s kind of like a death rattle , kind of like a throttled scream , and it\u2019s creepier than anything you\u2019ve ever heard before . the film is relentless , light on plot and heavy on jump scares , but it\u2019s that noise that\u2019ll stay with you .\nthe royal wedding : hurray ! she is a vision ! a curvy temptress ! a rump that launched a thousand gym visits . so much promise , so little delivery\nwe might be tempted to claim that this effort to create what jim emerson calls \u201cmovie - movie moments\u201d actually breaks the film\u2019s overall unity . but tarantino keeps nearly everything in check by the architectural clarity of his plot . the carving of the swastika on landa\u2019s brow sets you squirming , but it reveals itself as the culmination of a process we have seen piecemeal up to now . it\u2019s the last in a string of firecracker bursts that have kept the film humming along .\nadaptations to date : a 1949 bbc teleplay , 1948 and 1950 radio shows , a 1960 film and 2002 remake , a 1978 tv movie starring three\u2019s company \u2019s priscilla barnes , a 1994 audio drama starring leonard nimoy , a 2009 bbc radio broadcast , numerous science - fiction \u201csequels , \u201d and looser adaptations like 1985\u2019s back to the future .\nby now everybody knows that tarantino\u2019s forthcoming the hateful eight was shot on film in the ultra panavision 70 format . this anamorphic widescreen process yields a projected aspect ratio of 2 . 76\u2013in a word , humongous . an early version of it , mgm camera 65 , was employed on ben - hur ( 1959 ) , but panavision quickly developed a new generation of cameras and renamed the process . it wasn\u2019t heavily used ; supposedly khartoum ( 1966 ) was the last film shot in the format .\nwhere would horror films be without photographic dark rooms ? even in the digital age , the dim red light and slowly emerging pictures remain classic tools of terror . not to mention the room with rows of jars containing pickled animals , and the surprise homage to psycho . this story has it all . there are also touches of dark humour throughout ( the praying mantis is a recurring motif ) and one of the most bone - chilling scenes has a hilarious payoff .\nhitchcock\u2019s grand enigma was recently enshrined as the greatest film of all time in the british film institute\u2019s respected survey , infamously displacing citizen kane for the first time in fifty years . a tantalizing spiral into the abyss , the film follows scottie ferguson , an ex - police detective in forced retirement after his last case ended in a tragic death , as he is enlisted as a private investigator to keep an eye on an old friend\u2019s wife . following madeline , he is drawn into a sprawling riddle of love and death , from which he may never emerge . this is hitchcock\u2019s most profound and troubling exploration of his persistent themes : doppelg\u00e4ngers and duality , obsession , women trapped by deceit and the inexorable destructiveness of male desire . a cinematic landmark , vertigo retains its power as a perplexing and harrowing nightmare .\nin jordan wolfson\u2019s real violence , a virtual reality film , we witness the artist himself engaged in an act of unexplained violence . the victim makes eye contact with us intermittently , possibly implicating us in the scenario .\n\u201cdean\u2019s creative prowess is seemingly limitless , \u201d says asc awards committee chairman daryn okada . \u201chis long list of impressive credits has defined a generation of cinema . dean is consistently innovative , and is always outdoing himself from film to film . while we recognize his tremendous contribution to our art form , we will keep an eye on the future and highly anticipate what he will create next . \u201d\nin a spooky old inn , allan grey is visited in the night by an old man who leaves him a gift - wrapped book , with instructions to open it only on the occasion of the man\u2019s death . which turns out to be soon . the book explains that the town is plagued by vampires \u2013 and , helpfully , gives instructions on how to kill them . vampyr is an early sound film , so while there is some sound and a little dialogue , most of the silent film conventions are still in place . it has a fairly straightforward , dracula - esque story , but the plot\u2019s not the point . it\u2019s a deliberately strange film , full of disembodied dancing shadows and weird dream sequences ; there\u2019s something almost otherworldly about it .\na couple of londoners holidaying in cornwall stumble across a gorgeous abandoned house on the seafront and immediately decide they want to buy it . the owner , a grumpy old colonel , is happy to sell it to them on the spot , but his granddaughter is reluctant . turns out the house has got secrets , and , yeah , a ghost . the dialogue in this film is incredible in a very 1940s kind of way , and the tone can occasionally be accused of jolliness , but it\u2019s also got its moments of proper creepiness . best enjoyed with a glass of sherry .\ndirector ja bayona makes every shot count ;

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

considered it as a state of happiness that did not fit the rest of the piece . when rodin produced this piece individually in 1889 it was immediately popular with critics . as a result of this success the artist received two further commissions for marble copies of the sculpture . one was for carl jacobsen for a museum in copenhagen and the other was for the art collector edward perry warren .

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

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

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

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

accolades . nonetheless , she had seen up close and personal how cruel hollywood could be . the seeds of her eventual departure for paris were watered by the tears she shed on oscar night in 1940 .\ni don\u2019t know how much veracity there is in the idea that two mentally challenged people would glob onto each other like this . maybe it happens all the time . but it nevertheless feels like an amazingly hollywood conceit . danny and carla fall in love largely by default . they sort of get to know each other by trying to figure out the city\u2019s bussing system and watching the graduate over and over again . seriously , bussing and the graduate are prominent enough to be considered subplots . this is especially funny regarding the graduate . they are both very taken by the part where dustin hoffman interrupts katharine ross\u2019 wedding , so much so that danny at one point recreates the scene kind of like in wayne\u2019s world 2 . but when we see them watch the film , they actually turn it off before the happy onscreen couple takes that uncertain bus ride . it seems explicit that garry marshall would prefer we forget that part and its implications so he can suck up all the sweetness for his own film , ignoring the original\u2019s sour coda . diabolical !\nhowever , summer becomes much more interesting for the siblings after dipper inadvertently uncovers a cryptic

jacobite period , when the duke of cumberland carried out what would be called\nethnic cleansing\ntoday . but the nature of the clan system was also evolving - the need to defend or the opportunity to attack clan territory was reduced and the movement of people around the country was growing . the relationship between the chief and his people was also changing as favoured chiefs were granted titles and sought to increase their own land ownership and wealth . nevertheless , the notion of\nbelonging\nis strong and to this day there are clan societies who keep members in touch with one another and clan gatherings on traditional clan territory , usually with a clan chief in attendance . and in the traditional areas where a clan originated , there is still likely to be a higher than usual incidence of that surname in the population .\nabout alexander robertson of struan , the 13th and last chief of his clan who fought in all three jacobite rebellions of the 17th and 18th centuries . tracing the rise and fall of a clan that mythologised its own importance as the world around them changed .\nthe scottish community foundation has been created to give people and organisations , around the world a means of supporting scotland . the web site invites visitors to join their international network to play a part in building an even better scotland . the foundation is a non - sectarian non - political charitable trust raising funds around the world , to help the work of charities in scotland .\nthe turbulent history of the families who lived on the border with england and the raiding tradition that was part of this violent society .\nstrictly speaking , the clan system was unique to the highlands . but try telling a douglas from the scottish borders or a wallace from ayrshire / renfrewshire that he or she does not belong to a\nclan\n! and if the wider meaning of\nclan\nas a member of an extended family is taken , then it becomes even more legitimate to use the term to apply to family names in all parts of scotland just as other symbols of the highlands ( kilts , tartan , bagpipes ) have similarly been adopted across scotland .\nin 1563 , the corpse of george gordon , the fourth earl of huntley , was tried and found guilty of treason . a bizarre end for a nobleman whose power and arrogance had earned him the title of ' the cock o ' the north ' . their prestige was resurrected by the sixth earl of huntley , whose intimate relationship with king james the sixth set tongues wagging and resulted in a jealous feud with a memorably bloody finale - the brutal murder of the bonny earl of moray .\nnot a lot !\nmac\nis from the gaelic word for\nson of\n. over the centuries it has been written as mac or mc or even m ' - the last version is more common in ireland . many scots emigrated to ireland at various points in history , hence the large number of scottish sounding names there , particularly in ulster , although of course the equivalent\nson of\nin irish gaelic has come through too in irish names . there are also variations and permutations on the use , or otherwise , of a capital letter after the\nmac\nor\nmc\n. in these days of computerised sorting , it is usual to use\nmac\nin every case .\nscott the story of the scotts ' journey from reivers to royalty . the scotts were once an ordinary borders family . today , they have become one of the greatest private landowners in britain through the canny determination of one of the most remarkable women in clan history . anna scott was no more than a girl when she became the duchess of buccleuch in the mid - 17th century . her marriage to the son of charles ii propelled the scotts into the first rank of british nobility - but it very nearly ended in disaster .\nremember most of our products are made to order so check times for this .\nrecounting the major contribution made by scots to the development of this australian city .\nthe word\nclan\nis derived from the scots gaelic word\nclann\nmeaning the children , offspring or descendants . not all surnames in scotland or even in the highlands became\nclans\n( indeed surnames only started to come into use in the 12th century ) . there is no hard and fast rule but a\nclan\nis usually of a sufficient size to have established a territory and is likely to have a clan chief .

682 - 3525 or contact www . theatresuburbia . org .\nthe adventure of the speckled band is of course memorable because of the murder , but it is also praised , amongst fans of sherlock holmes , for highlighting all of the best characteristics of the detective . in the story holmes shows a real concern for his client , overlooking the lack of payment for services , as wells as concern for the wellbeing of dr watson . the case also shows the physical strength of holmes , and of course , his ability to deduce and extrapolate from the evidence presented to him .\nas with many of the sherlock holmes stories , the adventure of the speckled band was adapted for tv by granada , with jeremy brett starring as sherlock holmes ; the adaptation being the sixth episode of the first series .\nsherlock holmes has retired . but when macdonald asks him to take on another case , he says yes . there have been some mysterious murders , and there are no visible causes for the deaths . at . . . see full summary \u00bb\nholmes teams up with gregson and swain . a dead greyhound , a train journey and a night - time stakeout on the lake at bly bring the case to an end .\nthe story is written as if it was one of the earliest cases undertaken by holmes and watson as a duo , with the case being brought to the consulting detective by a scared young lady , helen stoner .\nin thomas harris\u2019 the silence of the lambs , hannibal lecter tells clarice starling \u201cnothing happened to me [ \u2026 ] i happened . you can\u2019t reduce me to a set of influences . \u201d it\u2019s an elegant , invincible line , one that waves away the tricks of their trades as psychiatrist and fbi agent , and paints lecter as pure evil .\nmiddling sherlock holmes yarn , d ' arcy gives us a sexed up holmes the likes of which i don ' t remember seeing , watson in strangely dense as fog and vincent d ' onofrio is suitably evil as professor moriarty . nothing particularly original or worth recommending it , still it ' s a perfectly watchable and serviceable mystery thriller that won ' t offend those looking for a whodunit set in sherlock ' s time .\nin sherlock season 1 episode 1 the serial killer asks sherlock to take one of two bottles . 1 bottle is ok other is bad ( poisonous ) . whatever bottle sherlock takes the serial killer takes the other one . that is same way the serial killer murdered his other victims .\n. ironically , amongst sherlockian film fans , grant has often been mentioned as a favorite for the role of sherlock holmes .\naccording to sherlock , his aunt is \u2018quite mad\u2019 . i\u2019m inclined to believe him .\nthe characters of sherlock holmes and dr . watson are now in the public domain , as the copyright has expired , so authors other than the originator , sir arthur conan doyle , can use these characters in their own works . playwright katie forgette has done so in sherlock holmes and the case of the jersey lily , creating a comedic mystery set in 1890 and involving the then leading theatrical star lille langtry , known as\nthe jersey lily\n.\nnevertheless , sherlock continues to be a class act \u2013 a testament to the almost hallucinatory talents of creators mark gatiss and steven moffat , and proof of the malleable potential of arthur conan doyle\u2019s pipe - smoking detective .\nthe case commences with the arrival of a client at 221b baker street at 7 : 15am . normally , a client would not have been admitted at this time , but mrs hudson had given entrance as the prospective client was a frightened young lady .\nsherlock holmes and watson are on the trail of a criminal and scientific mastermind who seems to control monsters and creations which defy belief .\ngood timing , too , because culverton smith summons sherlock and john for a meeting . sherlock has publically accused culverton of being a serial killer , but the philanthropist greets sherlock with a warm hug when they meet . what the\u2026 ? actually , culverton turned sherlock\u2019s accusation into a pr ploy for a breakfast cereal . he even shoots an ad , grinning , \u201ci\u2019m a cereal killer ! \u201d ( groan . )\nthen again , this is sherlock . the dead are always back before you know it .\nbut he\u2019s stopped just in time\u2026 by john ! remember that video mary left for sherlock last week ? john found it , and realized she instructed sherlock to \u201csave john watson\u201d by getting himself into danger : \u201cgo to hell , sherlock . go right into hell and make it look like you mean it . \u201d and it worked ! sherlock wryly adds that the drug culverton pumped him full of was merely saline .\nmeanwhile , culverton sits down next to sherlock\u2019s bed , surgical gloves on . he looks ready to kill , but sherlock beats him to the punch : \u201ci want you to kill me . \u201d he even tells culverton how to up the dosage on his meds to finish him off , but that\u2019s not enough for the evil culverton : \u201ckilling human beings\u2026 it just makes me incredibly happy . \u201d impatient with the drugs , culverton starts to suffocate sherlock with his bare hands , demanding that he \u201cmaintain eye contact\u2026 . i want to watch it happen . \u201d\nthe game is afoot . this made for cable movie focuses on the young 20 - something sherlock holmes . as the movie opens , sherlock is in pursuit of the evil moriarty and apparently shoots him to death , but his body cannot be found as he falls in a sewer . ah , but anyone who knows the holmes mythos knows that moriarty is not so easily killed . nonetheless , holmes gains notoriety with the press and the police for his apparent killing of the evil moriarty . this accomplishment brings him into the company of dr . watson , an early practitioner of autopsies , for the first time . together , they start an investigation into the murder of several crimelords and become convinced that moriarty is alive and behind a plot to organize drug dealing . given that moriarty is supposedly dead , holmes finds it hard to convince inspector lestrade . holmes investigation leads him to a beautiful prostitute , who posed as a rich woman to lure holmes into the plot .\nthe speed of her transformation from evil genius to vulnerable child though , was this episode\u2019s toughest sell . as soon as sherlock solved her cry - for - help riddle and bounded up those stairs her malevolence powered down so completely that she could be trusted back in the same cell she\u2019d effortlessly broken free of in the same prison - asylum she\u2019d turned into her own personal human experimentation lab . that must have been some hug . he should have tried it on moriarty and saved everyone a lot of bother .\nan unpleasant surprise appears in watson ' s bedroom . mycroft reveals more background to the case and its links to the illegal arms trade to africa . holmes and watson attend the surrey and suburban stakes at epsom to watch silver blaze run , and watson has an encounter there with moran . the case culminates aboard a cross - channel paddle - steamer , with holmes and watson attempting to prevent an attack on the heir to the french throne .\nthe cabbie is indeed shown to be terminally ill and wants to raise money for his family . however , this only explains why he resorts to killing people ( = earn money fast ) . motives of moriarty are part of the bigger overall story arc in the sherlock holmes universe as moriarty is the arch - nemesis of sherlock .\nnot the answer you ' re looking for ? browse other questions tagged plot - explanation sherlock .\na few months later they are visited by archdeacon percy , who has been sent an exploding clock . blagdon arrives shortly after and asks them to take up the savile case again . holmes believes that savile is involved in cheiromancy . blagdon tells him of a party given by the duchess of paisley at which savile had his palms read by septimus podgers . holmes and watson attend parliament where savile is due to speak on an act targeted at fortune tellers . they resolve to keep watch on savile , but another death occurs to end the case .\nwoman ( after introducing sherlock to a friend of hers at a party ) : \u201cdo victoria ! \u201d \u2013 sherlock turns to her , \u2018wtf ? \u2019 written all over his face \u2013 \u201cthe detecting , deducing thing . \u201d right . he later proceeds to do one of them , by the way .\nbut the episode doesn ' t say how exactly serial killer achieved this . before sherlock can take one of the bottles the serial killer is murdered .\nthe adventure of the speckled band was written by sir arthur conan doyle for the february 1892 edition of the strand magazine . the previous month the man with the twisted lip had been published , and so the adventure of the speckled band is the eighth published of the original 56 short sherlock holmes stories .\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 .\nholmes , in 1927 , would list his 12 favourite sherlock holmes stories , and in that list , the adventure of the speckled band was first named .\nhis confrontation with sherlock is a battle in the understanding of human behavior . it is a match to decide who can better see through the other ' s act . they have layers and layers of bluff / misdirection in all the small details of their actions .\nearly in his crime - solving career , sherlock holmes attempts to prevent moriarty from cornering the heroin market .\n( working title ) started on the fifth of november , 2001 and ended on the 16th of december . the telefilm was given an advance screening in the uk in august of 2002 under the simplified name of\nbut sherlock\u2019s texts are about to come back into play . he tells the villain he texted culverton\u2019s daughter faith with a confession . and faith does arrive at the morgue\u2026 but it\u2019s a different woman than the one sherlock spent the night with . sherlock is baffled \u2014 that\u2019s strange to see , isn\u2019t it ? \u2014 while culverton explodes with creepy laughter . sherlock grabs a scalpel and lunges at culverton , shouting \u201cstop laughing at me ! \u201d\nmore disappointing was the usually excellent toby jones who appeared to have wandered in from some kids\u2019 comedy drama circa 1989 . culverton smith was an entrepreneur \u2013 more philip green than richard branson \u2013 whose visits to children\u2019s wards and advertising of a cereal called gnash masked horrible deeds in hospital morgues . indeed the grimness of this ( and the possible shades of the savile case ) made jones\u2019s panto performance all the more uncomfortable .\nsherlock holmes and watson do battle with their nemesis , professor moriarity , over an ancient necklace attributed to cleopatra .\nsherlock series 4 bows out on an ultra - tense , heightened episode that unearths holmes family secrets . spoilers ahead\u2026\nin a show of strength , roylott bends a fireplace poker , and warns sherlock holmes to stay out of his business . the threat of violence and the show of strength do not seem to worry the detective though , and after dr roylott departs , holmes easily bends the poker back straight , so that it can be used again .\nwith james d\u2019arcy and vincent d\u2019onofrio ; in which sherlock\u2019s past is illuminated , the beginning of his career as a consulting\u2014or , as he calls himself in this film , private\u2014detective . it\u2019s made of spoilers , reader discretion is advised .\na young sherlock holmes seeks to bring down the criminal mastermind moriarty as he solves a crime involving a blackmailed prince .\nsherlock grumbles that culverton is \u201chiding in plain sight , \u201d and reveals that when he hugged the villain , he nicked his cell phone and sent a number of texts on his behalf . ( that\u2019ll come into play later . ) but first , culverton takes sherlock and john to his hospital\u2019s pediatric ward , taunting sherlock in front of the kids that a smart , rich serial killer couldn\u2019t be stopped : \u201cyou only catch the dumb ones . \u201d well , we\u2019ll see about that\u2026\nsherlock , meanwhile , receives a text \u2014 and john deduces it\u2019s from\u2026 irene adler ! what\u2019s more , that text can only mean one thing : it\u2019s sherlock\u2019s birthday . after teasing sherlock about irene ( \u201cthe posh boy loves the dominatrix ! \u201d ) , he pushes him to open his heart to her : \u201cshe likes you ! and she\u2019s alive ! \u201d sherlock finally agrees to go out with john for some birthday cake\u2026 and even puts on the \u201cdamn\u201d deerstalker cap for good measure .\nit could very well be the last time sherlock pulls any tricks . there\u2019s been a real sense of farewell about series four , not least in this episode\u2019s many fan - pleasing moments . the mention of victor trevor , sherlock remembering greg ' s name and lestrade revisiting his line from the pilot to call sherlock a good man received whoops from the audience at the public screening , as did the appearance of mycroft\u2019s john steed umbrella - sword , an object mark gatiss has publicly coveted for the character for years and at last allowed himself .\nsherlock : \u201cyou\u2019ve got me . what else could you possibly want ? \u201d \u2013 mycroft : \u201cwhat do i want ? the rest of your life to be a living hell ! \u201d\none problem that i noticed is that there is no water in the final scene where they are both about to take the pills . one way to explain this is that the cabbie ' s sponsor moriarty ( who has been described as a ' fan ' of sherlock ) did not want sherlock dead . if neither of them used poison water then neither one would die . presumably , the cabbie would fake his own death , let sherlock think he had chosen right , and then who knows ?\nall in all , this is all just jumbled and turned around and thrown back together . the writing\u2019s not bad , there are a few very funny lines , there is good bits of brilliant deduction going on , and especially sherlock and mycroft are quite sweet together . the thing is , it\u2019s not sherlock holmes . it\u2019s a re - invention of him , but it\u2019s not sherlock holmes . it seems almost pointless \u2018cause they might as well have given the baker street boys other names , too , and made this another thing entirely . then , one might have grinned at the references to sherlock , instead of spending half the time wondering about what the hell\u2019s gone wrong with this one .\njohn\u2019s right : sherlock\u2019s a mess , sporting some ragged stubble\u2026 and on the needle once again . ( we spot a syringe lying nearby . ) but he perks up when a new case comes his way in the form of faith , culverton smith\u2019s daughter . culverton is a famous entrepreneur and beloved in the community , but he has a dark side . we see him dose his closest confidants , faith included , with a memory - wiping drug and confess : \u201ci need to kill someone . \u201d her memory is hazy , so faith turns to sherlock to find out exactly who her father needs to kill .\nsherlock intends to send faith away , saying the case is \u201cway too weird for me , \u201d but stops himself when he deduces faith has a gun in her handbag and intends to take her own life . instead , he takes her out to get some chips and talk . she thinks her father\u2019s confession was followed by one word , which means the person he intends to kill is known on a first - name basis . but later , sherlock pieces it together : culverton actually said , \u201ci need to kill someone\u2026 anyone . \u201d in short , one of britain\u2019s most powerful men is a serial killer .\nthat cuts to a fishing boat in the middle of stormy weather . the two - man crew gets an alert they\u2019re passing by sherrinford prison , but when they go up on the deck they\u2019re greeted by an unscathed sherlock and watson . the famous detective ? they ask . no , sherlock responds , the pirate .\ni just finished watching the movie , gotta say , this says everything i felt ! i was looking for some scrapes of mycroft whump , but after watching the movie , i was rewarded with much more sherlock whump than i had hoped for ! ! ! !

homage opening , an action - movie prison infiltration complete with patrolling henchmen and more ticking clock scenes in close succession than is medically wise . there were laughs too , courtesy of mycroft\u2019s cornish fisherman ( the reveal of which felt very league of gentlemen ) and yet another ( brilliantly entertaining ) surprise appearance by andrew scott . that surely has to be the last time sherlock pulls that trick .\n@ minusseven : i agree 12 % is small odds , but far from being impossible . however each event is a separate ' roll of the dice ' . once he survive he might as well do it again -

production effects are there to jazz up what are essentially scenes of someone sitting down and thinking . in the final problem , a big , heightened concept episode , all the thinking was done out loud and standing up . the action negated the need for too much visual interference ; there was already enough going on .\nthe man in black ' s intelligence test . he provides two vials , one of which is poisoned .\nand that\u2019s not all , folks : as the therapist reveals she\u2019s wearing a wig and contacts , she pulls a gun on john and introduces herself as eurus . it\u2019s greek , she says , and means \u201cthe east wind . \u201d but it is a weird name , she admits , kind of like mycroft\u2026 or sherlock . yes , sherlock doesn\u2019t have another brother ; he has a sister . and holding john at gunpoint , she says he\u2019s \u201cmaking a funny face\u2026 i think i\u2019ll put a hole on it . \u201d gunshot ! and cut to black .\nhis episode , entitled the lying detective , was terrific in several other ways . martin freeman gave an unsentimental , brisk study in grieving as watson tried to reassemble some sense of normality . meanwhile , sherlock was back on the opium ( or possibly something even more harmful ) \u2013 with a whey - faced dealer ensconced at baker street and poor old mrs h ( a wonderful , tightly wound una stubbs ) driven to distraction by her nightmare tenant . cumberbatch does mental anxiety very well , and throughout the episode he made you feel as if you were living sherlock\u2019s nightmare .\nwhat we get is , in one word , shocking : not entirely bad , but , come on ! this script simply ignored nearly all of doyle\u2019s creation , apart from the names , the period clothes and sherlock\u2019s address . apparently , the writers wanted to put a new spin to it , but it\u2019s more like they invented themselves a new carousel . basically ignoring the canon at large , there are few elements of the stories and characters that actually remain . most of all , there is no mrs hudson . how could that man survive without mrs hudson ? !\n25 of 38 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\ninformation is presented ' as is ' , though believed to be accurate at time of posting . all images from\n1 of 1 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nthe poison pill trick is not random . the cabbie is skilled in reading and manipulating people . he has analyzed what drives his victims and acts accordingly . he knew sherlock would get in his cab instead of calling the police . the poison pill trick is his way of showing he has control through his skill . his victims can make the choice but as they are choosing , the cabbie manipulates them . he knows which of the bottles is poisonous and will manipulate his victims into taking the bad bottle . if they take the good one , he will convince them to change their mind . this shows of how good the cabbie is in reading people , predicting their train of thought and knowing what to say to mislead them . it takes great skill to manipulate people that know you are trying to kill them .\n( 45 ) is a veteran of both uk film and television . he made a notable splash in the cult classic\nafter qualifying as a military surgeon , watson stops briefly in cape town en route to afghanistan . in india , on the train to lahore , he hears of rawdon moran ' s subaltern ' s court martial over his treatment of emmeline putney -

qualities . this film was criticised when it first came out , but i think it is better than the latest\nalexander the great\nfilm , and shows the whole of the story with all the characters , even the leader ' s teacher , aristotle the great philosopher , as well as the tragedies .\nthis is used to provide traffic data and reports to the authors of articles on the hubpages service .

row seat to the psychology and politics that lead to wrongful convictions .\nwhen his book debuts , godsey hopes readers will better understand why an increasing number of innocent people are walking out of prison after spending most of their lives locked up for crimes they didn\u2019t do .\nricky jackson holds the 1975 mug shot police took of him when he was booked as a teenager . photo / lisa ventre\n\u201cthe discovery of hundreds if not thousands of wrongful convictions in the past 25 years should be viewed by the criminal justice system as indicative of a disaster , \u201d writes godsey . \u201ca mass disaster . \u201d\naccording to the national registry of exonerations , nearly 2 , 000 people have been set free for crimes they didn\u2019t do since 1989 . still , godsey says most of the american public remains in a \u201cfog , \u201d oblivious to how the system is stacked against defendants who don\u2019t stand a chance if police , prosecutors or judges have what he refers to in his book as \u201ctunnel vision , \u201d a premature conclusion of guilt .\nmark godsey discusses a case in the ohio innocence project space at the uc college of law . photo / lisa ventre\nin chapter after chapter , godsey calls into question a criminal justice system that he says is rife with human error , from junk science forensics to simple human bias . as a former prosecutor , godsey says he views his book as both a memoir and a confessional .\n\u201ci look back , and i see that i did things that i don\u2019t agree with now , \u201d he says . \u201ci would love it if prosecutors and police officers read this book . it is not an attack on them . we take certain roles , and we lose our humanity in the process . i did that myself . \u201d\ngodsey says police and prosecutors are under great pressure to solve heinous crimes , and the politics , he says , all too often cloud the process and lead to mistakes or overreaches .\neven when a miscarriage of justice has been brought to light by oip investigations , he says , officials in the system often remain in such denial that they purposely stand in the way of correcting mistakes .\n\u201cas an innocence lawyer and activist , i have routinely witnessed the unjust behavior of police , prosecutors and even judges and how this behavior has caused untold pain to thousands of innocent people suffering at the hands of the system , \u201d godsey writes .\ngodsey\u2019s eyes were first opened in 2001 after he joined the law faculty at northern kentucky university and filled in for a professor who oversaw the kentucky innocence project . students were reporting on an inmate in prison for rape whom they suspected was innocent .\n\u201ci sat there and listened to their description and internally rolled my eyes , \u201d he writes in his book . \u201c\u2018how naive , \u2019 i thought . what a bunch of gullible , bleeding - heart law students . \u201d\nwhen the dna test came back , however , the man was exonerated and released after 13 years in prison . \u201cthis was , needless to say , an eye - opening experience for me , the prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor , \u201d shares godsey . \u201ci was shocked . \u201d\nsoon after , he attended the national innocence network conference , and by the time he left , he saw everything in a brand new light . \u201cthere were problems in the system which i , as a prosecutor , should have seen , but i had simply been in denial . \u201d\nthe next year , godsey got a job at the uc college of law and began directing the oip , founded a year earlier by local lawyers , including john cranley , currently mayor of cincinnati .\ngodsey\u2019s group has helped free 23 men and one woman since those early days , and those cases represent only a sliver of the thousands they have examined .\nthe oip \u2014 resembling a mini law firm in the uc college \u2014 is made up of students , a few staff attorneys and an administrative assistant . they receive more than 500 inquiries a year from prisoners or family members looking for help . tall stacks of boxes indicate the volume of work .\ngodsey compares their caseload to a massive conveyor belt with holes in it . \u201cthey are all moving along in the beginning , then some start falling through the holes , \u201d he says .\nmany inquiries get kicked early for obvious reasons : the inmate is not from ohio , or they did the crime , but they disagree with the sentence . in hundreds of cases , inmates are sent a 23 - page questionnaire . some never return it , and even more cases melt away as oip staff members dig into the details and discover claims of new evidence or a new witness that never pan out .\nin other instances , oip attorneys push for dna testing only to confirm a client actually is the murderer or rapist the state said he was .\n\u201cin a lot of our cases , our investigation confirms they are guilty , \u201d says godsey . \u201ci always tell our students that is the best answer you can hope for . if you are sitting around hoping that the system made a mistake and the true perpetrator has been out on the street committing more crimes , you are sick . \u201d\noip students hard at work at the uc college of law . photos / lisa ventre\nultimately the oip ends up representing roughly 2 percent of individuals who ask for help . that\u2019s about 10 out of every 500 . yet , despite the grind of sifting through cases that often go nowhere , it\u2019s the wins that keep them motivated to press on , says oip staff attorney and uc grad jennifer bergeron , jd \u201902 .\n\u201conce you read the heartbreaking letters we receive , investigate a case and find evidence showing that someone is sitting in prison , often for life , for something they did not do , you can\u2019t walk away , \u201d she says . \u201cit\u2019s an incredible honor and burden to represent someone who the justice system has failed . \u201d\ngodsey points out that his students and staff are driven by social justice . \u201cthey are people who work for passion , \u201d he says . \u201cit is a tough job . these are true do - gooder type personalities who are willing to make less money , work longer hours and have a sometimes demoralizing and frustrating job because that is the only way they would have it . \u201d\nthe victories bring what godsey calls the \u201ckodak moments , \u201d when the media surfaces to get footage of an inmate taking his first careful steps out of prison \u2014 free for the first time in decades .\nbut godsey prizes the more intimate moments , like when he was driving with his two young children in 2005 and his cellphone rang . the call was from the ohio attorney general\u2019s office , the top law official in the state of ohio , to inform him that the state would stand alongside the oip and support the case to get a man exonerated . that man , clarence elkins , had been in prison more than seven years .\nelkins had been given a life sentence for allegedly raping and murdering his mother - in - law and raping his 6 - year - old niece , who told police the perpetrator looked like her uncle clarence . though elkins had an alibi and all the physical evidence pointed to his innocence , he was convicted . the oip proved through dna testing that elkins was not the perpetrator and even positively matched the dna to the true culprit , a convicted child rapist who had lived just two doors down from where the crime was committed . in an incredible twist , the real killer happened to be in jail for another crime and was in the same facility . elkins was able to collect the man\u2019s cigarette butt and mail it to the dna lab .\nformer ohio attorney general jim petro visited campus after the 2005 clarence elkins case . elkins is listening in the background . petro explained to uc law students why he took a stand with the oip and against state prosecutors to exonerate elkins . photo / dottie stover\nopposed by the judge and the prosecutor at every turn , godsey eventually turned to the state attorney general .\n\u201cwhen i got the call , i got emotional and had to pull over to the side of the road , \u201d says godsey . soon after , he received copies of letters from the state office declaring their intentions to join the case . \u201ci drove straight to prison to see clarence and tell him the news . i held up the two pieces of paper on the glass during the prison visit . he read it . it was just a very emotional moment . \u201d\nthe wins for uc\u2019s oip haven\u2019t only involved escorting free men and women from lockup . the oip was also behind senate bill 77 , a piece of ohio legislation passed in 2010 that set statewide standards for retaining biological evidence , taking dna in felony arrests and establishing new procedures for police lineups . godsey is also a leading figure in the international innocence scene and often travels to other countries to speak or help networks get off the ground .\n\u2014 mark godsey ( pictured in this associated press image at left with ricky jackson and oip staff attorney brian howe the moment jackson was exonerated . )\nasked where the innocence movement is headed , godsey says it should be viewed much like the civil rights movement .\n\u201c we are at the beginning of a many decades - long movement that\u2019s going to transform the criminal justice system , \u201d he says . \u201cbecause of advances in psychology and because of the innocence movement , we are realizing there are a lot of things we can do differently to make the system more accurate . this is going to win out because there is no debate on the merits . you are just fighting people whose minds are closed because it has been done this way for centuries . \u201d\nlike civil rights , he says , there won\u2019t be a eureka moment where somebody stands up and convinces everybody .\n\u201cthese battles are won by activists continuing to holler and scream , \u201d he says . \u201cthis is going to take people working and educating and talking for decades and decades . \u201d\nthe ohio innocence project has received an unprecedented honor \u2013 a feature in time magazine\u2019s special edition examining wrongful convictions . the issue , which is anticipated to sell over a half a million copies , was recently published ( feb 2017 ) and is available at newsstands across the country .\n\u201ci\u2019m thrilled that time has dedicated an entire issue to the innocence movement , which demonstrates the enormous impact it has had on our criminal justice system , \u201d says godsey . \u201cwe at oip are honored to have been highlighted as a central player in what is now becoming a global human rights movement . and we are thankful to the university of cincinnati and our many donors for making it all possible . \u201d\nthe issue , \u201cinnocent : the fight against wrongful convictions , \u201d takes a look at 25 years of the innocence movement . the ohio innocence project ( oip ) is highlighted with a multi -

the rods and cones , bipolar cells , ganglion cells , amacrine cells and horizontal cells form the retinal layers . the receptors made up of rods and cons , bipolar cells and ganglion cells transmit the signals vertically through the retina , whilst the horizontal and amacrine cells transmit signals horizontally across the retina .\nlight is changed to energy in the receptive fields as electrical signals and sent to the visual cortex neurons of the brain via the lgn ( lateral geniculate nucleus ) through the firing of the ganglion cells when light passes through the receptive field . the ganglion cells respond to the antagonistic receptive photoreceptors . the receptive field consists of on - centre , off - surround ganglion cells and off - centre , on - centre ganglion cells as in figure 5 .\nthe amacrine and horizontal cells sends signals horizontally across the receptive fields and convergence takes place in the retina . as there are approximately 120 million rods and 6 million cones in the retina , more rods have to come together to deliver their signals to one ganglion cell as opposed to one single cone having access to one ganglion cell .\nthis process of pulling together allows the rods to be more sensitive to changes in the visual field whilst the cones \u201czooms\u201d into focus .\nfigure 5a shows light passing through the on - centre and off - surround receptive field . the firing rate is moderate as light passes through the off - surround receptive field and the firing rates is faster when light reaches the on - centre receptive field .\nfigure 5b shows that when light passes through the middle off - centre , on - surround receptive filed , the firing rate is faster at the on - surround and is moderately fired at the off - centre , and again at a faster firing rate at the on - surround receptive field .\nthe eyes see objects and defines boundaries and edges through the firing of the ganglion cells in the receptive fields . in figure 6a , the on - centre , off - surround array of receptor cells is activated when bright light is shone of the on - centre , the firing rate is rapid and when the surround is lighted , the the ganglion cells fire at a moderate rate . our visual system responds to edges in objects in this say . the lgn generates a signal to the visual cortex and sees the edge at a specific angle .\nfigure 7 shows an example of lateral inhibition and simultaneous contrast . there is same amount of light is reflected on these two squares , however , the grey box in the right square looks darker than the grey box in the black square . both grey boxes are the same colour . simultaneous contrast occur when when the electrical signals received from the receptors in surrounding black box is less intense than the signals received in the surrounding white box . there is more inhibition in the surround of the white box causing less firing in the grey square , thus the grey look darker as compared to the grey square in the black box .\n2 . sugita r , sugimura e , itoh m et - al . pseudolesion of the bile duct caused by flow effect : a diagnostic pitfall of mr cholangiopancreatography . ajr am j roentgenol . 2003 ;

( didn\u2019t anyone tell him he\u2019s the hero ? ) this narrative thread promises high drama , but the film finds its footing only in the light - hearted sequences , which are entertaining in a way things are entertaining on tv when there\u2019s nothing else to watch .\nafter dressing up in jeans and a cool shirt \u2014 bought from a store where he is likened to shah rukh khan \u2014 he asks his mother : \u201cjananga yethupaangala ? \u201d ( will the masses accept me like this ? ) and to make sure they do , i guess , is why they didn\u2019t bother to compose a new song for the love duet between kutti puli and bharathi ( lakshmi menon ) . what we hear , in its entirety , is ilayaraja\u2019s glorious \u2018ponnoviyam\u2019 , from kazhugu \u2014 another rajinikanth film named for a creature of the wild .\nunfortunately , he does grow up to be like his father and even picks up the same traits that got him killed . no matter how hard the mother tries , her efforts only prove futile because puli lives by his own principles . however , she believes if she could get him married then probably he may turn responsible and take control of his life . but puli is against marriage because he believes that with so many people who wish to see him dead , his future wife may have live like his mother , who was left behind by his father .\nthis film , itself , is something of a menagerie , a hodgepodge of \u201cmass\u201d elements . there\u2019s romance , fights , thaali - centered drama , drumstick - centered comedy , and \u2014 above all \u2014 unceasing amma sentiment . when whipped mercilessly by the police , the small - time thug named kutti puli ( m . sasikumar ) stays silent . asked why , he says it\u2019s because his mother ( saranya ponvannan ) is outside the station , and if he cried out in pain , she\u2019d end up in tears . all this aching tenderness . . . in a film where a 13 - year - old schoolboy is offed in broad daylight with a knife plunged into his throat .\nsasikumar realised his strength and weakness at the early stage of his career . as as result , he always choose to make a film with rural settings . his biggest hits were subramaniapuram , naadodigal and his last film sundarapandian . and it is obvious that he prefers a rural -

( \u201coru pombala nenachathaan neeyum naanum aambala . \u201d ) he fights evil . and in line with the rationalist stance of the politics in the state , he endorses vaguely heretical \u201cgood deeds , \u201d like stealing from the temple donation box in order to save someone\u2019s life .

- the domination near you .\ni haven ' t seen ninja iii : the domination , but it has possibly the best name of any movie ever . and for that it deserves recognition .\nninja iii : the domination is a 1984 american action movie about a woman ( lucinda dickey ) who becomes possessd by the spirit of an evil ninja . the film costarred sho kisugi and jordan bennett . it was the third\n\u2026and it being horror - themed halloween month , we\u2019d be remiss in not throwing a shout out to what was the most ambitious of the 80\u2019s canon flicks , ninja iii : the domination .\npeople don\u2019t give ninja iii : the domination enough credit . it\u2019s a smart as hell release , blending two familiar genre , with ghostly possession and martial arts fights in equal amounts .\nprobably the greatest thing about ninja iii : the domination is no matter what you\u2019re in the mood for , you\u2019re going to get it . the movie covers almost every genre imaginable , and sometimes not on purpose .\nbarbarella 2 ? lady beastmaster ? no , it ' s not some michael ironside vs . the amazonian excalibur mash - up either . it ' s simply an oversexed italian poster for ninja iii : the domination !\nthankfully there are \u201cother\u201d ways to watch this . but if gymkata can get a release , why not ninja iii ?\nthere are actually two other ninja films in this series , enter the ninja and revenge of the ninja , though none of the 3 have related storylines .\nwelcome to \u201cbad movie night , \u201d a biweekly feature in which we sift through the remains of bad movies of all stripes : the obscure and hilarious , the bloated and beautiful , the popular and painful . this week we look at one of the most inexplicable movies of the 1980s ( no small feat , that ) , ninja iii : the domination .\nwell , ignoring the part about how the movie gave me nightmares , imdb lists ninja iii as horror . it does not list predators ( or predator ) as horror .\nwelcome to the 83rd episode of the cinefessions podcast ! this week , branden , ashe , and marc continue the scream factory arc with a review of ninja iii : the domination ( 1984 ) . you can help us decide which film we\u2019ll review in week five of this arc ! just answer the poll question to your right in the sidebar , \u2026\nalso like revenge of the ninja it ' s also awesome . i love sho kasugi ninja movies .\nit ' s quite a thing , ' ninja iii , ' less a movie and more a buzzfeed list of 23 things only ' 80s kids will remember .\nbut the more of the film that i watched , the more i realized that if i was going to have to unknowingly watch a film that wasn\u2019t american ninja iii , at least i was lucky enough to have this truly bizarre ninja film as its stand in . besides , how often do you get the chance to watch a movie that channels the exorcist , ghostbusters and footloose all in one beautifully wrapped ninja package . as an extra added bonus ninja iii : the domination was directed by sam firstenberg . who also directed the first two american ninja films , and as an extra added bonus of pop culture knowledge , and directed breakin\u2019 2 : electric boogaloo as well . your mind is blown , isn\u2019t it ?\nninja iii wasn\u2019t actually a sequel to enter the ninja and revenge of the ninja , but it certainly tied - up the triumvirate of movies that really cemented ninja films as the dominant martial arts exploitation sub - genre of the decade . sadly , it was never topped in budget , artistic ambition or general fimmaking effort during the craze . the films got cheaper and cheesier until the genre was all but surrendered to turtles and kicking kiddies .\ni know i am alittle late on posting this . as for this review is over a year old at this point . i was the biggest ninja fan as a kid . i grew up in the 80\u2019s so with the invention of the vcr found a world of ninja movies in the early 80\u2019s . enter the ninja was the first american ninja type movie . . it is still freaking awesome ! so flash forward to today . i am sitting at work and thinking about ninja iii the domination for some strange reason . there was something i guess that still bugging me to this day . why was it called ninja iii ? from what i can tell there was never a ninja 1 or 2 ? i just can\u2019t figure it out . was it because there were 3 um ish ninjas in the movie ? because the chick really wasn\u2019t a ninja . . she was just possessed by a ninja . . ok i am glad i have gotten that off my chest .\nthis japanese market poster for ninja iii : the domination \u201cheroes\u201d sho kosugi amidst a jumbled mess of images from the film . while not the greatest of layouts , a poster like this hangs in a theater lobby as an enticer for things to come . the audience is there , captive , milling about or waiting in line for snacks , so you have them on the hook already , you can get away with this sort of density .\nninja iii : the domination is a movie that can\u2019t be reviewed , it can only be experienced . preferably in a large group and with copious amounts of alcohol . from the opening moments of a ninja exciting his cave like cave at dawn to hunt and kill a man trying to put in a quick 9 - holes before work you know you are in for something special . sure it is never explained just why the ninja felt the need to kill the man , his wife and 30 , 000 guards , nor is it explained how the ninja has super strength , you simply have to just go along with it .\nthen , when i thought ninja iii : the domination couldn\u2019t amaze me any more , it pulls out the big guns . christie wipes out a platoon of cops , goes head to head with her nemesis yamada , and when he ( yamada ) discovers the ninja he has been chasing has inhabited the body of a woman he lets her go . he then concocts an ingenious plan to meet christie at an abandoned temple in the hills . there yamada forces the black ninja\u2019s soul out of christie\u2019s body and back into his own . but what yamada doesn\u2019t know is that the black ninja has the power to turn the monks who live in the abandoned temple into , i can\u2019t believe i am saying this , zombie ninjas !\nsure enough the wrong print had been sent to the theater , a print for a film that had been released a full five years earlier . oh i was angry at first . how could a projectionist not have known the difference between ninja iii and american ninja 3 ? it should be perfectly obvious , right ? right ? !\nhere\u2019s where that whole idea started , 1981\u2019s genre - launching enter the ninja .\ngreater than the conundrum that is ninja iii : the domination , is probably the nostalgia that surrounds it . it is a reminder of the days when you would pick a movie at a video store based on the box art and description . you may be stuck watching it at a sleepover , and there was no chance of turning it off because it cost $ 3 to rent it . it is a reminder of the days when you simply couldn\u2019t move on to the next film streaming . it is a reminder of when you just had to give in and commit yourself to something and hope for the best . if you remember ninja iii or even just want to relive those days , then grab a v8 and some special friends and give it a watch .\nthe possessed christie hunts down and kills the police officers responsible for killing the evil ninja . her boyfriend billy ( bennett ) , who is one of the officers involved , becomes suspicious and joins forces with a good ninja ( kisugi ) to defeat the evil ninja ' s spirit .\nit\u2019s also just great to finally see this film in such a pristine , even enhanced state . the mgm cable channel print of ninja iii wasn\u2019t nearly as detail - revealling as this new transfer , especially viewed on blu . i noticed for the first time lucinda dickey is wearing a really bad wig in all the mountain location scenes , which were evidently shot after she started filming breakin\u2019 with a shorter , more pat benatar - inspired haircut . and yes , she did ninja iii first , a revelation from the commentary .\nan evil ninja attacks a golf course , killing many people . the police arrive , and the ninja attacks and kills many of them . eventually the police manage to outnumber and surround the ninja , shooting him . the dying ninja escapes and runs into telephone linesman christie ( dickey ) , and puts the evil eye on her . christie takes the ninja ' s sword . later , christie is in her apartment when her arcade machine comes to life and hypnotizes her . the sword flies out of the closet and into christie ' s hands , and she becomes possessed by the evil ninja ' s spirit .\nthe delicious desert that was domination was part kosugi ninja vehicle , part exorcist , with a little flashdance thrown in and a thick , sugary frosting of 80\u2019s cop revenge cliches topping it all . sho kosugi wore the jubei eyepatch , lucinda dickey avoided another breakin \u2018 sequel and got to do some kooky effects scenes , and there were possibly the best staged ninja battle scenes we saw before getting ahold of the real stuff from japan later on .\nthey were liberated to try something different with the ninja construct and go in more of a hybridized direction . with allusions to prior ninja movies , horror tropes , and even dickey\u2019s involvement with the\nthere are 12 or so warriors in this painting for the deadly silver ninja , which is actually more than the ninja scroll poster . the artist , however , uses foreground and background to center your attention on three of those warriors \u2013 the hero , the hot chick and the exotic masked villain .\nin the cemetery scene , the evil ninja can be seen sliding down a rope from the trees . she is wearing heavy gloves to protect from rope burn , then the gloves disappear .\neven with ninja assassin making some waves and the g . i . joe films putting big - budget ninja action in theaters , no one before scream factory saw the audience potential for the now 30 year old material . kudos to them .\na ninja ( david chung ) goes on a rampage at a golf course .\nscream\u2019s release is a stunning transfer of from what i recall is a complete print . the picture is just gorgeous on bluray ( the stills here don\u2019t do it justice ) , and the accompanying dvd copy is nothing to sneeze at either . i\u2019d call it miles above any previous release , but that\u2019s not saying much as the last time ninja iii was on home video it was a full - frame vhs .\nthe body of a sexy aerobics instructor is invaded by the evil spirit of a dying ninja . at first , changes in her behavior is limited to having strange interactions with an arcade game , doing sexy things with v8 juice , and being attracted to an unusually hairy police officer . but soon enough , she ' s systematically killing , ninja - style , the officers responsible for the ninja ' s death , and can only be stopped by another ninja !\nthe american ninja films follow a simple , hard working soldier ( dudikoff ) who just so happens to be the only american ninja , like , ever . you would think this would go to his head , but no . he keeps his head down and follows orders until invariably an evil villain set on world domination kidnaps his lady friend and unleashes an army of ninjas to kill our intrepid hero . i\u2019m fairly certain american ninja 2 differs only in that his best friend is kidnapped , as well as a host of marines , instead of his girlfriend . also the evil ninjas are color coded .\nan evil ninja attempts to avenge his death from beyond the grave , by possessing an innocent woman ' s body .\ni find myself unable to trust anyone who isn\u2019t pro -

ness at the excellent fan site sho kosugi : the ninja .\nthe 80\u2019s ninja boom was represented piss - poorly in the dvd era ( which yes , i\u2019m referring to in the past tense ) , but it seems no film was relegated to limbo longer than this third chapter in the kosugi / canon partnership . there were mostly full - frame and \u201copen matte\u201d releases of revenge of the ninja , rage of honor , the american ninja flicks , dumped out with little effort and even less fanfare , but for who - knows - why the dom never made even that cut .\nbut there\u2019s more to it . golan - globus movies often fuck up the thing it never even occurs to other movies to not get right \u2013 like establishing shots , basic editing , and dialogue recording , all of which are weirdly inept . like much of their work , ninja iii is permeated by a general feeling of this is how you make a movie , right ?\ncomposition can also save a much simpler layout . take a look at the original u . s . market poster for american ninja :\nthe lengthy opening act is amazing , but the rest of the film isn ' t as engaging .\nanyway , ninja iii . we begin with two startlingly incongruent scenarios , juxtaposed nonetheless : a ninja in a cave , digging out throwing stars , arrows , and swords , intercut with some dude going golfing . their paths cross when our ninja shows up to crush a golf ball in his hand before murdering everyone on the green . it\u2019s one of funniest action scenes you\u2019ve ever seen ( unintentionally , but still ) , with hilariously overdone foley work and fight choreography so stiff it makes elaine benes look like ginger rogers . and it seems our ninja is an indestructible one , so the sequence goes on for a realllly long time , with one death blow after another making no difference , until he\u2019s finally shot dead by several cops . or is he ?\ni\u2019m betting if storm shadow and snake eyes get enough of a reaction in the gi joe movie that we\u2019ll start seeing ninja movies again . and despite his diminutive size , ray park really does seem like he would make a perfect american ninja .\nwelcome to vintage ninja - - dedicated to old ninja movies from japan ' s 60 ' s boom to the 80s american exploitation craze and beyond , with a ton of vintage toys , comics , and sharp pointy stuff thrown in for good measure .\n: a utilities worker and part - time aerobics instructor encounters a dying ninja and is entrusted with his sword . however , the weapon is a conduit through which the ninja\u2019s evil spirit takes possession of her body and mind . based on what i can only assume was a true story .\nseriously , what the hell am i looking at here ? ninja scroll is certified classic , and anime movie posters don\u2019t have to rely on photographic assets as their basis \u2013 the sky is the limit to the creativity of the illustrators involved . yet what we have here is an absolute abortion .\npainted poster ( later the vhs box art ) to the tadashi yamashita vehicle the shinobi ninja , easily the most redundant title of the 80 ' s . it ' s a japan / hong kong co - pro , but that painting is of a very american ninja suit , right out of your average karate depot . anyone know what language this is or market it ' s for ? polish ? pakistani ?\nafter a peace loving japanese immigrant and his family become victims of a crime syndicate , a master ninja emerges .\nnowhere near as effective , as the artist possibly wasn\u2019t up to the task of portraying richard harrison more face - on . red ninja on a tight - rope isn\u2019t nearly as effective as big - ass - ninja - head , but the swirling dragon just screams \u2018martial arts movie\u2019 so this ends up working in spite of its inferior execution .\n) . action and adventure films were ( and continue to be ) the genres least resistant to retreads , and low - budget franchises were no more insulated from the phenomenon than their big - budget brethren . fortunately , the \u201cninja trilogy\u201d films from the golan - globus era of cannon films handled this in the best way possible , by keeping a few recognizable elements ( e . g . the ninja archetype and sho kosugi ) and turning over the characters , stories , and settings . the results throughout this trilogy were stylistically distinct , tonally all over the map , and as\nthis is the one the fans have been waiting for . just hope the blu - ray version is somewhat decent .\nand it\u2019s a ninja movie , there\u2019s especially no excuse for this when you have sooooooo iconic a central character type .\nnot hard to do . you can see this is a ninja film from 50 yards away , and it works .\nmafia vs . ninja is hardly the classic ninja scroll is , being a heart - worn - on - its - sleeve exploitation flick . but what the marketers of exploitation films know is how to draw the eye and deilver a quick , effective image that get\u2019s someone to cue - up at a theater or grab a rental off a video store shelf .\nalthough i am , along with your father , a card carrying member of the anti - ninja / pro - alien brigade , i enjoyed this review immensely .\ntwo things going on here \u2013 cash in on the big - ass - ninja - head , and feature your expensive imported star , in this case franco nero .\none of the greatest ninja movies ever ! me and my older brother had ninja fever back in these days , pillow cases and towels tied around our heads , anything that resembled a sword , mom even found us some , what seemed to be , authentic ninja stars ! til this day we\u2019re still curious as to where they disappeared to that first time we threw them ! . . oh well , still a classic !\n) plays christie , a telephone company technician / aerobics instructor who stumbles upon the dying body of an evil ninja . he hands her the magic sword he used to hack up a bunch of golfers before being shot by police . no sooner does she have the sword than strange things begin to happen . christie abruptly displays impressive fighting skills . the sword takes itself out of the closet and floats to her . she develops an intense , unexplainable hatred for police officers . ( this is especially inconvenient after she begins dating one . ) yes , the evil ninja ' s spirit has possessed her body . a second ninja soon arrives on the scene to chase it from inside her .\ngreat use of the flag , simple fight scene with two figures . all fine . but the ninja is sort of hidden here and it\u2019s a very stiff arrangement . clearly a studio posing and not a fight scene .\nbut what really sets the film apart from your standard ninja fare is the utterly insane possession angle . curious at christie\u2019s radically shifting personality , her impossibly hairy boyfriend billy ( jordan bennett ) takes her to lo pan ( james hong ) to try and discover just what is wrong with her . luckily , christie is not a green eyed chinese girl , but a solid gold dancer so he has no interest in her . but he does discover that a ninja is lurking inside of her , and thus quickly dismisses the unlikely couple from his abode before he angers the spirit ninja .\nhe ' s the ultimate killer . she ' s the perfect weapon . see more \u00bb\npoor christie keeps having goofy flashbacks to her ninja possessor\u2019s near - death , which lead to her blacking out and avenging his murder . most of the people he sends her after are those cops who filled him with bullets , which is a real unfortunate coincidence for her fella , since this means he\u2019s constantly bringing his girlfriend around his buddies , whose faces trigger the blood lust of the spirit of the ninja who\u2019s possessed her . but hey , every couple has shit to work through . once he figures out what her deal is , he takes her to a wise asian medicine man for an exorcism , but it doesn\u2019t take : \u201conly a ninja can destroy a ninja , \u201d he\u2019s told . she does the best she can , at one point turning on the radio and trying dance the spirit away , but the sword emerges from the closet and smashes her stereo . ( you would too if you heard that song , but i digress . )\nthis might be my favorite so bad it ' s awesome film of all time . like many pre - teen children of the 80 ' s repeat viewing of revenge of ninja spawned a ninja phase of my childhood . man i thought sho k . was badass back then . jet li could wup him with both legs in a cast ! this movie has insane crossovers that include flashdance , the exorcist and the lee van cleef ninja tv show . ugh . but as a friend of mine says anyone can get a good movie made it takes true genius to make a film that starts with a ninja surviving 17 shotgun blasts long enough to take over the body of arobics instructor to get revenge . wow . while previous commentors have metioned the sword flying out of the closet on the string no one has yet metioned the powerful love scene . where the sexy leading man cop takes off his shirt to reveal a mane of backhair . the fun never ends . rent this ! ! ! ! ! !\nchristie ( lucinda dickey ) , under the influence of a dead ninja , is laser - scanned by an arcade game . i\u2019m sorry , i don\u2019t know what i just wrote either .\nthe american ninja franchise has a very special place in my heart . a place that you may not , and can not , sully no matter how hard you might try . anna hasn\u2019t even seen this place because she is crafty and i have been unable to trick her into watching any of the films . but what are american ninja films ? i\u2019m so glad you asked .\nthe aisle seat critic , mike mcgranaghan , is a member of the online film critics society .\non a remote caribbean island , army ranger joe armstrong investigates the disappearance of several marines , which leads him to the lion , a super - criminal who has kidnapped a local scientist and mass - produced an army of mutant ninja warriors .\nlet\u2019s look at some quirky foreign movie posters , testament to the global nature of the 80\u2019s craze .\nand more than that , their schlock also shares a keen lack of self - awareness \u2013 a distinct feeling that no one , at any level , had any idea how badly they were failing . so in that exorcism scene , as lucinda dickey goes full - on linda blair , growling in japanese , her shabbily - substituted dummy pulling full 360 flips , shouting \u201cyou cannot stop me , i am a ninja , \u201d what\u2019s most striking is that they really seemed to think they were terrifying us . they have no idea this is funny . but ninja iii has more laughs than the last four farrelly brothers movies combined , and maybe that\u2019s not what they were aiming for , but that\u2019s what they achieved . who am i to begrudge them their success ?\nseriously . eight to ten thousand of you read this site every month , you\u2019re all ninja freaks and you\u2019ve all been a pissed off as i am that the 80s craze films never got the deluxe send - up . now that one has , we need to mobilize , buy the hell out of it and show the other labels what they\u2019ve been missing out on .\nhere , an artist uses the limitless opportunity illustration affords to pose and arrange subjects to create a vastly superior version of essentially the same scene . average joe american shinobi still reads as an exciting yank action star , but at the same time the ninja is a lot more prevalent . you\u2019ve got movement , dynamic tension , intersecting lines . this is a fight scene !\na one - man army comes to the rescue of the united states when a spy attempts an invasion .\nmight be the most \u201ccannon\u201d of cannon films\u2019 1980s output , and this special blend is one of the big reasons its popularity persists three decades later . many will dock it points for its dated visual effects and inconsistent cohesion to the possession plot - line ( when christie pours v8 down her cleavage and has the hots for a dude with terrible back - hair , is it * the ninja spirit * doing these things ? ) but doing so misses the point . at its core ,\nthankfully i had an ace up my sleeve , for you see my elder sister worked at the very movie theater that would be showing american ninja 3 , and she didn\u2019t care what i watched . sure she thought it looked stupid ( an opinion i chalk up to her being a girl ) but she wasn\u2019t going to waste any effort in stopping me from watching the film . so there i was , at the first showing on opening day , totally excited to watch the latest , greatest american ninja film . but then something totally unexpected happened .\non the soundtrack , despite the fact that those fighting are clearly missing their punches . a more apt descriptor for\nmeanwhile in japan , the rebooted kamui hits anime . love the weird dimensions of this piece , great layout .\nwhat christie ( lucinda dickey , star of breakin\u2019 and breakin\u2019 2 : electric boogaloo ) doesn\u2019t know is that we have secretly replaced her subconscious with an evil ninja ( david chung ) . oh sure , during the day she will go about her business of teaching aerobics and dating swarthy policemen none the wiser to what lurks inside her . but at night she turns into a soulless killing machine . can anyone stop her ? and can the one eyed ninja yamada ( sh\u00f4 kosugi ) save her from herself ?\nis there anything cooler then a ninja ? fun fact , while growing up i used to wish for the day a ninja would be in the transformers cartoon , and while the transformers / gi joe crossover comic satiated this desire somewhat , it really wasn\u2019t what i was after . just like when spider - man guest starred , these shameless cross overs diluted both of these great franchises rather then amplifying them . and while storm shadow and snake eyes were great and all , they were no substitute for michael dudikoff .\nafter just completing his training at a ninja school , an army vet travels to the phillippines and finds himself battling a land grabber who wants his war - buddy ' s property . he must also . . . see full summary \u00bb\nnow imparted with the strength and evilness of a super strong evil ninja , christie begins to date hirsute men that she hates , beats up a roving rape gang and even begins to systematically kill the individual cops who were responsible for the ninjas death . whether it be in a hot tub or at a funeral , she is a one woman killing machine .\nsomehow combines a now unstoppable ( and un - stealthy ) ninja killing machine with an exorcism motif lifted straight from horror , and gratuitous aerobics sequences ( showing off the talents of lucinda dickey , flush from recent success in breakin ' ) .\nthis entry was posted in theater psychotronic and tagged 80 ' s , action , aerobics , cannon , horror , james hong , lucinda dickey , ninja , possession , sh\u00f4 kosugi .\na struggling young jazz dancer meets up with two break - dancers . together they become the sensation of the street crowds .\nby the way , the spirit of the ninja has also possessed her apartment ( these things just can\u2019t respect boundaries ) , and the household objects within it : her fridge , her phone , even a stand - up arcade game , which spews fog and shoots laser lights at her . so in the afterglow of her vegetable juice - soaked tryst with officer sleazebag , a windstorm takes over her apartment . she goes to the closet , picks up his sword , and\u2026 well , if i told you they altered her eye make - up , would it surprise you ?\nall the great elements of cannon films in one masterpiece . you get the star of breakin ' 2 electric bugaloo fighting ninjas .\nis a little light on quality action but it\u2019s an easy thing to overlook against the backdrop of a ridiculous plot , wacky effects , and several deloreans\u2019 worth of 1980s film tropes . tonally , it\u2019s a strange concluding chapter in cannon films\u2019 unofficial ninja trilogy , but i love it with the emotional warmth normally reserved for a cute dog or a boglin still in the box . recommended .\nthe big extra on the new release is a commentary track with director sam firstenberg and stunt coordinator steve lambert , which at times is just superb , but at others suffers a bit ( for our purposes ) from being hosted by a horror guy and aimed at other horror guys . a discussion of kosugi\u2019s eyepatch never touches on the traditional portrayals of jubei yagyu nor sho kosugi\u2019s connection to sonny chiba and the japan action club . we\u2019re ninja geeks , we want to hear that stuff , even if it\u2019s solely prompted by the moderator .\ni can ' t believe you reviewed this movie . i would have been about 11 - years old when this movie hit the theaters . my mom took me to see it . that opening had been the most bad - ass thing i ever saw and i told everyone i knew about it . i also believed that line used in the trailer ,\nonly a ninja can destroy a ninja .\ni thought it was fact . surely no other form of martial arts could compete with ninjutsu . didn ' t they see this movie after all ?

and this film does it well - it ' s usually more exciting to watch people trying to avoid getting slaughtered than watching an assortment of creative kills .\ni\u2019ve long campaigned for this nugget of foreign gold . you\u2019re not likely to find all that many who follow the cold prey franchise closely , but those that do follow , follow with unwavering dedication . when it comes to modern slasher films , few rival this norwegian effort . scream is right there in the mix , as is ti west\u2019s the house of the devil . outside of those two pictures , nothing recent quite holds up . and that\u2019s a massive statement given the caliber of filmmakers in the business these days . it should be a clear indicator that cold prey rests with the big dogs at the top of the heap .\nletter of 3 july from herbert read to the british council ( lilian somerville ) , included in the report on progress for the 48th meeting of the fine arts committee , tuesday , 11 july 1950 .\ncold reception ( \u6c37\u306e\u6751\u306e\u5c11\u5973 k\u014dri no mura no sh\u014djo maiden of the ice village in the japanese version ) is chapter 8 of fire emblem fates in the conquest version .\nwhen i first heard that they were making a third\ncold prey\nmovie , which pre dates the first two showing a back story on the killer , i was actually quite pleased , as we only saw glimpses in the first two . i am a big fan of the first two and wrote glowing reviews for them rating them 10 and 9 , but this one i only rate 5 , because quite frankly i was really disappointed . okay the beginning opened up quite well , when we finally get to see what happened to his parents and the way they treated him , but that was over in 10 minutes and then it cuts to a group of teens camping in the nearby woods . i was hoping the third would somehow capture both positive aspects of each film , but sadly , cold prey 3 turned out to be your pretty standard backwoods slasher that we ' ve seen several times before . another complaint is that this one is set in summer time which kinda defeats the object of being called\ncold prey\nthere ' s even a clich\u00e9d scene where some of the characters decide to go skinny dipping in a lake , which seems to be some sort of requirement in backwoods slashers for some odd reason . speaking of characters , none of them are likable , in my opinion . with the little development we ' re given for each person , it leaves us with little reason to care whether they ' ll somehow survive through the ordeal . all in all\ncold prey 3\nisn ' t a particularly bad film , as a stand alone it would have been pretty good , it just lacks the brilliance the first two , so i hope it ' s now come to an end .\nnorway doesn ' t exactly have a history that i ' m aware of horror films \u2013 let alone slasher flicks ( although , like buses , there ' s another coming in 2008 called rovdyr seemingly inspired by its good show at the norwegian box office ) \u2013 so i was keen to see cold prey after it garnered a rash of very positive reviews on the web . i expected to like it a lot , but despite being well shot this snowbound effort ultimately left me a little cold .\nyear 1 children have taken part in the introduction to the golden mile initiative . they loved jogging around a marked track to see how many laps they could complete in 3 minutes . it was thirsty work !\nisolated , snowbound locales make for great slasher movie locations , from satan ' s blade ( 1982 ) , to iced ( 1988 ) and most recently shredder ( 2003 ) . however , the main inspiration for roar uthaug ' s cold prey ( both in structure and pacing ) is clearly stanley kubrick ' s the shining ( 1980 ) . herein lies the film ' s greatest weakness : whilst i ' m all for a slow burn when it comes to establishing characters and background , cold prey meanders when it should be rushing and although well constructed never quite hits the levels of hysteria ( and sheer entertainment value ) you ' d expect from the best of the subgenre .\nmuch to my surprise , cold prey 3 turned out to be a pretty fine film . sure , it ' s still a full - blooded slasher with all that entails , but it seems as if its new creative team - neither director mikkel braenne sandemose nor the two screenwriters lards gudmestad and peder fuglerud had anything to do with what came before - spent a bit of thought on how to use the standard elements of the slasher movie ( and a few bits and pieces of the backwoods horror film ) without making a slasher movie by the numbers .\nguilbaut , serge . how new york stole the idea of modern art : abstract expressionism , freedom , and the cold war . chicago : university of chicago press , 1983 .\ncold prey follows a group of friends who decide to ski out of bounds and are forced to take shelter when a storm hits , finding themselves imprisoned in an abandoned ski lodge along with a maniacal killer . the story has been described as a cross between the grey and the revenant and really centers on a strong female character who reaches the limits of physical and mental endurance .\nwhile i appreciate the review ( i loved the first two films , and have no interest in seeing the prequel now ) , i must point out that the original title fritt vilt translates to\nopen season\n, as cold prey is just the retitling for the west . so the change of locale effecting the title is less of an outright mistake and more of an unhappy oversight .\nalthough the two first cold prey movies have been released as both dvds and blurays before , all three movies are from today available as boxed trilogy sets in both formats . the content of the discs are the same as previous individual releases . today is also the launch date for the third movie\u2019s individual release in both formats . extras include five featurettes , available on both the dvd and the bluray .\nit ' s the end of the 80s , so quite some time before the occurrences in cold prey and cold prey 2 took place . the first group of young ones ever to get slaughtered by the franchise ' s killer ( oops , spoiler ) is making a short camping trip to the woods around the empty hotel of ill repute . they had initially planned to stay inside the hotel for the night , but at least one of the girls , siri ( julie rusti ) has a finely developed sense for the creepy , and doesn ' t want to stay there . in a surprising twist never before encountered in the history of slasher cinema , her friends aren ' t total douches and listen to her ; this film not taking place in the winter like its predecessors probably makes that decision a bit easier .\ncold prey was hailed as one of the best modern norwegian horror movies and the most successful franchise of its kind . la scala recently wrote , produced and directed the remaining for sony and produced amityville : the awakening , which will be released june 30 . that film stars jennifer jason leigh and bella thorne through dimension . la scala also was an executive producer on the adam fields\u2019 produced cult favorite donnie darko .\ncold prey 3 is a prequel to the first movie . it was seen by 80 . 000 norwegians on its opening weekend , which are good numbers for norway . 152 . 000 people were drawn to the movie in theatres alltogether , while more than 500 . 000 people saw the two first movies in theatres . the two first movies sold more than 237 . 000 disc units as well , not counting rentals and on - demand viewing . not including disc sales of the third movie , which started today , the franchise has earned 90 million crowns ( about 16 million dollars ) over the years , a considerable sum in one of europe\u2019s smallest countries . it is also rare that a norwegian movie is followed by two sequels .\ni found part 3 online too . i think my subtitles may have been better as i don ' t recall having any problems understanding the movie . anyway i quite enjoyed it . personally i didn ' t find it to be much of a step down from the first two .\nand what of the brilliant location of the original ? a desolate , abandoned hotel deep in the snow covered mountains of jotunheimen . well , its in the film for all of two minutes . the group are heading there , you see , but within two minutes of arriving decide its too run down and swiftly decide to sleep in the fucking woods ! so long , awesome location , then . its like having a busload of kids head to camp crystal lake , only to settle for a motel when they find the accommodation lacking ! whoever thought this was a good idea should really rethink they ' re career choice . not to mention that the film is called cold prey 3 . the reason for this title , is that the location is supposed to be\nthe rspb\u2019s investigations department publishes an annual report on all wildlife crime . the most recent edition , for 2013 , documents 164 cases of shooting or destruction of birds of prey in which the evidence points strongly towards the actions of gamekeepers .\none does not go into the third entry into a slasher franchise that until now had even in its best moments ( that would have been the second half of the first movie and no part of the second ) distinguished itself by giving disturbingly generic ideas a pretty sheen of professionalism expecting great improvements in quality or ideas ; in fact , after the mess of regurgitated , badly connected clich\u00e9s that was cold prey 2 , i went into this prequel expecting to be annoyed by it .\nmany marine species use a technique called counterillumination to protect themselves . many predators , such as sharks , hunt from below . they look above , where sunlight creates shadows beneath prey . counterillumination is a type of camouflage against this predatory behavior .\ni can ' t really recommend cold prey to those looking for something a little more frenetic and energetic , though i wouldn ' t go so far as to bury it underneath a snow bank , either . the best i can say about the movie is that its chilling , snowy atmosphere is well - handled , though in a negative reversal of that , said atmosphere takes its toll on the film ' s already - long running time . there were moments during the film when i desperately wanted the film to speed up a hair or two ; some of the setting accentuation could ' ve been excised in favor of getting to the point , and as we all know , an effective slasher film has two very important points among a dozen : suspense and murders . cold prey ' s killer is showcased via an odd editing choice : we see a boot here , and an arm there , but never enough of him to generate any real sense of fear or suspense . and , since his identity turns out to be perfunctory , you begin wondering why they went to the trouble of keeping his visage hidden . to give the film its due after the criticisms , it is , like i said before , well - shot and atmospherical , and the victims - to - be are a sympathetic bunch , and there are a few moments of sublime , gothic dread , but after all is said and done , cold prey left this reviewer searching for a warm blanket , and a better movie !\nfirst of all , its a prequel . yep , a prequel . you know how us horror fans just love our prequels . there ' s nothing more satisfying than having our boogeymen demystified by some hack director edging for a quick buck . leatherface has a skin problem apparently , myers is a redneck , and freddy was a fucking gardener before he got kentucky fried and inexplicably decided to hang out for all eternity in a boiler room . now its the turn of cold prey ' s iconic killer to be dragged through the gutter . and it only gets worse .\nobviously , the slasher flick is both blessed and cursed by conventions \u2013 and is not exactly known for its innovations . hide and seek theatrics are always fun , and cold prey certainly does have its moments . however , the only thing that really jumps out as ingeniously gruesome is the scene where the final victim - to - be has to pretend to be just another cadaver to escape the unwanted attentions of the killer . the fact that it ' s topped off with a ho - hum , ambiguous ( read lazy ) ending doesn ' t really help matters .\nwe also studied victorian toys in our classroom with mrs sales . we had to guess what some of the toys were and how victorian children would have played with them . after lunch , we took part in a drill outside with reception class and year 2 -

genre can be made to work in the right hands . it had it all . an amazing location , that echoed the shining ' s overlook hotel , a cast of very capable actors , a\nthis project was dropped on the outbreak of war , and the planned exhibition was shown at hertford house ( the wallace collection ) instead in may\u2013june 1940 . see the minutes of the 14th meeting of the british council\u2019s fine arts committee , 3 sept . 1940 . the german artist , arno breker , won the grand prize at the 1940 venice biennale , though in the absence of russian , french , and british participation .\nyet since then , raptors have shown remarkable powers of recuperation . despite allen lambert\u2019s worst efforts on the stody estate , his two victim species \u2013 sparrowhawk and buzzard \u2013 have strongly recovered from historical lows . sparrowhawks have tripled in number , while the buzzard population has increased at least sixfold and is now britain\u2019s most abundant bird of prey .\nthe plot is simplicity itself . well , to actually say that cold prey has a plot would perhaps be a gross exaggeration ; not that it meant it would be a bad film ( after all , the original halloween ' s leanness in that department is one of its many strengths ) . five friends in their early 20s head off into the wilds for an afternoon of snow boarding : a couple who are hot for each other , ingunn ( viktoria winge ) and mikal ( endre martin midtstigen ) ; another couple , with commitment problems eirik ( tomas alf larsen ) and jannicke ( ingrid bols\u00f8 berdal ) ; as well as their goofy companion morten tobias ( rolf kristian larsen ) .\ncomedies and children\u2019s movies often produce sequels ( the olsen gang series made it to 8 in sweden and 14 in norway and denmark , and spin - offs for children as well ) but for a mainstream horror franchise to reach three movies is unheard of in the nordic region . the cold prey series was not the first homegrown horror films up here , but they were perhaps the first movies to mimick their american counterparts 100 % , which made them digestible for large crowds of ( i am guessing ) teens not used to hardcore horror , and now they were offered something almost as cool as the foreign slashers . perhaps they were joined by their parents , who were curious on this new phenomena .\nthe lancers are the units that the player should prioritize first , as they will head for the villages and start calling for more reinforcements if they get onto the village tile . even though they only have a movement of 3 rather then 5 , killing them is required to stop them from calling for reinforcements . one lancer is near the village just north of the south - eastern village , and the other one is next to kilma .\nbirds of prey are controversial precisely because it is in their nature to kill other animals . they are climax predators , sometimes competing with us at the top of the food chain for prey such as grouse or pheasant . yet they also possess beauty , drama , majesty , charisma ; and more than almost any other wild creatures they symbolise our wider relationship with place . their free - flying presence among us , circling over moor or mountain or woodland copse , expresses a kind of hope that modern britain can be something more than a functional estate , managed to suit ourselves . the killing of raptors is a crime , but it is also a failure to imagine a landscape as being about anything other than property or money .\nto underpin their claim of good behaviour , gamekeepers can point to the astonishing rise in the fortunes of some british raptors over the past half - century . birds of prey were among the last of britain\u2019s avifauna to receive legal protection , not least because they were so detested by game interests . it wasn\u2019t until 1962 that the law was amended to extend protection to the sparrowhawk .\n. not so for these plucky assclowns though . they happily wander the woods , day and night , wearing only t - shirts in what should be sub zero cold . they even go skinny dipping . i ' ve rarely come across anything this stupid , even in the slasher genre . it wouldn ' t be so bad were it not that this ungodly mess follows such excellent and respected movies .\nwithout giving too much away , there is a psychotic killer on the loose ( this is a slasher flick after all \u2013 although , if you watch the making of that comes with the british dvd you ' ll not hear it referred to which makes me wonder if there was a little bit of embarrassment from cast and crew on that point ) . the film opens with what appears to the murder of a young boy , buried in snow . this is followed by a montage of news clips about missing skiers and tourists over the years , as well as establishing that the boy in the prologue went missing from the hotel . cold prey ' s protagonists discover the luggage of missing people hidden behind the kitchen , as well as newspapers with headlines screaming ' hotel of evil ! ' ( although it ' s never explained why ) .\nthis is only a cold prey film in name . its obviously been released under this title to make easy money , don ' t be fooled into thinking that the heart and intelligence that went into the first two films has carried over . this whole thing stinks of cynical cash cow . i ' m pretty mad about this , as alongside halloween , black christmas and the burning , the original and its sequel are at the top of my all - time slasher list . so here ' s what you do , you avoid this shit like your sanity depends on it . after all , why taint the memory of all the great work that came before it ? its just a shame some things cant be unseen , but thankfully , its so damn dull that i ' m forgetting its existence already . thank the gods of horror for small favors .\nat root , the campaign to halt the killing of wild birds of prey touches on issues that are historically embedded in english society . resistance to what is viewed as wider social interference in their private liberties is a long and impassioned cause for the landed interest in britain . modern conservationists seeking a quick fix in matters of raptor politics would do well to reflect on the campaign for a general right to roam in our countryside .\nbritain had survived the war with its economy in ruins , but its reputation intact , and offered a successful model of a functioning democracy . much of the planning for postwar european reconstruction was undertaken in london , which had offered asylum to exiled governments from countries that had been overrun by the nazis . it also served as a forum in which allied ministers of education could plan new forms of european collaboration . the creation of the united nations in 1945 and its offshoot , unesco , in 1946 , was partly the outcome of those earlier wartime discussions in london . 3\n\u201cthis new measure is designed to be a further tool in the box to tackle the illegal killing of wild birds , \u201d said scotland\u2019s environment minister , aileen mcleod . \u201cit\u2019s a very light - touch form of regulation . the scottish government is committed to bringing an end to the illegal killing of birds of prey . my predecessor paul wheelhouse was clear that if the current measures do not put a stop to this form of wildlife crime , we will not hesitate to bring forward further proposals . \u201d\nit is hard now to conjure up in words a sufficiently overwhelming image of the postwar european continent , with its destroyed cities and economies and its starving , uprooted peoples . the redrawing of boundaries after the second world war led to untold hardship , but also called for international cooperation and exchange . the idea of europe came to acquire new meaning and attraction , as an antidote to the various forms of nationalism to which the continent had fallen prey in the course of the previous century and a half .\nby bringing a de facto end to the shoot at langholm , the harriers were harming the gamekeepers\u2019 livelihoods . yet langholm also demonstrated the effectiveness of an innovative practice , whereby breeding hen harriers could be supplied with alternative prey ( domesticated mice or day - old chicks ) . \u201cdiversionary feeding\u201d was proved to reduce harrier predation of grouse by more than 87 per cent , and is now practised on some progressive estates . it has done little , however , to undermine a widespread perception among shooting estates that hen harriers are just plain bad for business .\nthere is a much darker side to shooting pheasants . only a month before my visit to raveningham and just 12 miles from the estate , a gamekeeper called allen lambert was sentenced for killing ten buzzards and a sparrowhawk . the 65 - year - old had a lifetime in the profession . at his workplace on the stody estate in norfolk he was caught with a bagful of dead birds of prey , along with a \u201cclassic poisoner\u2019s kit\u201d , including syringes and the banned pesticides aldicarb and mevinphos . it was the worst incident of illegal raptor poisoning recorded in england .\np1 : tragic start -

in - the - woods - being - slashed concept is just one thing . on the same line , the characters are more generic than before , more or less one - dimensional psycho fodder waiting to be impaled or hacked . the norwegian nature is used as a backdrop , but the snowy mountains are not ( it\u2019s not even cold ) , and neither is the hotel . it could be anywhere that has a couple of old cabins . and the violence and kills\u2026 . well , there\u2019s a handful of gory scenes , but much of it is obscured , edited too fast or not used to its full potential . one expects sloppy writing in the third movie ( i have not even mentioned the plot holes and the artificial dialogue ) but maybe they could have given us some great gore as compensation ?\nit was a cold morning in rural east norfolk , two weeks before christmas . a cordon of beaters \u2013 men wearing country clothing and waving red flags \u2013 thrashed the undergrowth . a bird soared into the sky and even i felt an adrenalin surge . i have studied and written about wildlife for more than 40 years but this was the first shoot i\u2019d attended . by the close of the morning , i understood better some of the motivations \u2013 the unpredictability , the anticipation \u2013 that have made the pursuit of game birds one of the most enduring and important factors in the shaping of the british countryside . who knew what would burst from that final patch of cover ? sometimes only a scattering of hysterical blackbirds or pigeons clattering out the tops ; once a chinese water deer in an enormous headlong drive ; occasionally woodcocks , ghosting through like liquid shadows ; finally and tantalisingly high came the pheasants .\nserge guilbaut , how new york stole the idea of modern art : abstract expressionism , freedom and the cold war ( chicago : university of chicago press , 1983 ) . that new york should have \u201cstolen\u201d the idea of modern art in quite the way that guilbaut imagined may be something of an over - simplification . throughout the 1950s , there was a push - pull between european and american influences on british art , with only a gradual tilt towards the latter , as the decade progressed . many british artists and the majority of artists on the continent , and in countries with traditional links to france , still looked to paris for cultural leadership until some time after 1960 . see alan bowness , in relation to the second biennale des jeunes in paris in 1961 : \u201cbiennales notwithstanding , it begins to look ominously clear that paris is no longer the place to go to for what is new in modern art . \u201d the observer , 8 oct . 1961 .\nthe british council for relations with other countries , as it was initially called before the abbreviation of its name to \u201cthe british council\u201d , was set up in 1934 , as the uk\u2019s belated riposte to french cultural promotion and the axis powers\u2019 more blatant cultural propaganda , in a period of mounting national and international rivalries . it could present itself , like the bbc , as operating at a distance from government , but usually pursued its objectives with the discreet , but effective , support of local diplomatic missions . in wartime , its sphere of influence had been severely curtailed by the scale of nazi conquests ; however , after 1945 , with the onset of the cold war , it treated expansion into newly liberated europe as a top priority , as the entire region had been , in the words of the economic historian , r . h . tawney , \u201cthe chief source and breeding - ground of the world\u2019s afflictions\u201d . 7 by march 1947 , the british council had established \u201crepresentations\u201d in no fewer than twenty - two european countries ( east and west ) . 8\nthe stylistic debate over figuration versus abstraction was a notable feature of the 1950s , and is reflected in thwaites\u2019s comments . however , there were also arguments within the modernist movement itself , between those who were trying to reach out to a new public and those who were perceived to be more hermetic in their concerns ( often associated with varying degrees of geometric abstraction ) . many artists , like moore , who had belonged to the beleaguered avant - gardes of the 1930s , now sought to break out of their self - imposed\u2014or - induced\u2014isolation , by experimenting with more \u201caccessible\u201d styles and large - scale \u201cpublic\u201d work that courted social and social democratic engagement . sculpture parks , open - air sculpture displays , and sculpture commissions , formed a part of what became a widespread movement to build new audiences for modern art ; to provide public amenities ; to promote urban regeneration ; and , on occasion , to offer restitution for the ravages of war . the first international open - air display of sculpture on the continent took place in a wooded park at sonsbeek on the outskirts of arnhem ( the netherlands ) in summer 1949 , and was repeated at three - yearly intervals thereafter , until 1958 . it was directly inspired by the london county council\u2019s first outdoor exhibition in battersea park the previous year , and had similar aims . as was common , artists were grouped by nationality , and a recent cast of henry moore\u2019s three standing figures was sited ( like the darley dale stone originals in battersea ) in a prominent position on top of a gentle mound , with trees behind ( fig . 3 ) .\nthis essay suggests that henry moore , barbara hepworth , and a new generation of postwar british sculptors associated with the catch - phrase , \u201cthe geometry of fear\u201d , were able to profit from the new networks that were created after the war and to speak to a wider and often more receptive audience than they ever had at home\u2014first , in war - torn europe , then farther afield . they gave expression to many of the hopes and fears of the age , and their message was magnified , in part , through the activities of the british council and the personal charisma of two dominant figures : henry moore , already hailed as britain\u2019s leading sculptor by the end of the 1940s , and his supporter , the writer and critic herbert read . the background to this was provided , first by the campaigns against modernism of the previous decades , then by the ideological battles of the cold war , whose frontier was drawn through the middle of occupied germany and austria . to a certain extent , the sculptors were able to capitalize on a sense of common identity , as britain emerged from wartime isolation\u2014hence the commonly held view that a \u201cschool\u201d had appeared where none had existed before . still more significantly , perhaps , this was the period when the modernist canon was being comprehensively re - examined , redefined , and extended for a large public .\nthe mountain man was a child born with a birthmark covering one of his eyes . for four hours after his birth he was considered stillborn , with a death certificate even being made for him . when he suddenly started breathing , he didn\u2019t even cry , he just lay silently . he lived with his parents , who owned and ran a hotel high in the mountains . his father , gunnar often abused him ( most likely because of his deformity ) and didn\u2019t even consider him his son . the boy\u2019s mother , sigrid showed great affection towards her son but did not attempt stop the abuse caused by her husband . one day , gunnar descided to get rid of his son and chased him into a ditch in the snow before he started to bury him alive . sigrid just cried beside her husband as he attempted to kill their child . several days later , after they had reported their son missing , both parents were murdered by the boy in revenge , he first stabbed sigrid repeatedly in the stomach as she attempted to embrace him and then stabbed his father in the back of the neck after he leaned down next to his wife\u2019s body . after their deaths , the boy wandered around in the cold until he was taken in by a hermit named jon , whose brother einar was a police officer . jon helped the boy cover up the murders by getting rid of the bodies and hiding him from the police .\nagain , it\u2019s nothing new in the plotting department . someone is killed and no one notices because they think they\u2019re locked in their room after an argument . a guy goes for help and evidence is discovered later that he never made it very far . and ( spoiler ! ) the last one alive is the smarter of the female characters . but they get all the details and specifics about these things right , and that\u2019s what makes it memorable . for example , the girl that they think is just sulking in her room is presumed to be upset over a fight she had with her new boyfriend , who was pushing her for sex . after she\u2019s dead ( unbeknownst to them ) , the guy learns from our heroine that the girl was a virgin , and wanted things to be special ( i . e . not in a cold room on a 40 year old mattress ) , which not only makes her death sadder , but also gives the \u201cfinal girl\u201d a less prudish , typical personality . usually in these things , the final girl is the one with the sexual issues , so it\u2019s nice to see that not only are the roles reversed , but that she is able to harmoniously resolve the situation and humanize not one but two of the others . too many modern horror movies with characters in this age group are curiously obsessed with having the group constantly at odds or seemingly not even liking one another , with their various personal issues with each other ( i . e . the cheating boyfriend ) being their only bit of development , so i particularly enjoyed that these folks , while not without some heated moments , are good friends and operate without drama . even the injured guy \u2013 you\u2019d expect him to be an obnoxious ass , but he\u2019s pretty chill about the whole \u201cbroken leg\u201d thing and doesn\u2019t get all emo about being the only one without a girlfriend .\ncurse you , indiana jones ! the bullwhip - toting , fedora - wearing , hard - loving professor created unrealistic expectations for all cinematic archaeologists who have followed in his footsteps .\nthus , the gentle , mild , soft - spoken sigurd , a tall and slender family man who is still coping with the loss of his wife , hardly seems the type to chase after a viking myth about the end of the world , especially with his two children in tow on a supposed\nfamily vacation\nin the desolate , far north finnmark region on the border between norway and russia .\nthe film places sigurd in the position of being the primary archaeologist continuing work on the remains , but this is where his personal obsession gets in the way of his job . he ' s convinced that items found among the remains are actually runes spelling out\nragnarok ,\nand further exploration might shed light on the myth . financial backers dismiss sigurd ' s conjecture as foolishness right out of hand , and he loses his museum position .\nsigurd ( p\u00e5l sverre hagen ) may speak softly but he has an iron will , and he ' s determined to follow up on his leads , bringing along his early teenage daughter ragnhild ( maria annette tander\u00f8d ) , at an age where she misses her mother , resents her father , and doesn ' t hesitate to make her feelings known , and his young son brage ( julian podolski ) , who is completely on board . they meet up with allan ( nicolai cleve broch ) , a fellow archaeologist ; elisabeth ( sofia helen ) , allan ' s comely research assistant ; and leif ( bj\u00f8rn sundquist ) , a crusty local guide .\nragnarok is not trying to subvert but to celebrate ; it ' s as though the kids in 1985 ' s the goonies were accompanied by adults on a wilderness adventure . and there are other , spoiler - ish elements that distinguish ragnarok , beyond everyone speaking norwegian .\nthe film does not reinvent the wheel , but it maximizes the experience of riding it , embracing stereotypes and shining them up so they look new all over again . it adds up to a fun family adventure , with norwegian style and a welcome edge , something even indiana jones in his prime could never quite achieve without a lot more bickering .\nreview originally published during fantastic fest in september 2013 . the film opens in select u . s . theaters on friday , august 15 , and will also be available to watch via various video on demand providers . visit the official site of distributor magnet releasing for more information .\ndo you feel this content is inappropriate or infringes upon your rights ? click here to report it , or see our dmca policy .\ntodd brown , toronto , canada founder and editor peter martin , dallas , texas , usa managing editor ryland aldrich , los angeles , california festivals editor james marsh , hong kong , china asian editor ben umstead , los angeles , california u . s . editor more . . .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later ."]}

- typically dressed in short shorts and a low cut shirt - - runs screaming bloody murder from the same dangerous creature in the woods . and sure enough , soon the homecoming queen is inevitably found deader than disco in that damn swamp .\nso , she moves into his shack in the woods and she wonders where she can find him . he is living in the woods and trying to stay out of sight as the posse combs the woods looking for him with rifles . melanie and jimmy go into the local diner , shelley ' s and they meet jimmy ' s mom , shelley . she remembers melanie from years ago . melanie thinks that she is a bit strange . meanwhile , in the woods , one of the posse runs into the swamp devil which is thought to be a local legend , but who is very real , and he gets himself killed . melanie reaches her dad ' s shack and she is inside when she is confronted by a female cop jolene ( allison graham ) . then sheriff nelson ( james kidnie ) shows up and they talk to her about her dad and ask her is she knows something about where he is , but she denies it .\nhalloween is our fave holiday at old devil moon ! we ' ll be even creepier than usual all week , starting on monday , oct 23rd and lasting through halloween . come check out the odm haunted mansion ! enjoy the fun all week but come in costume on friday and saturday night for our 1st annual odm halloween party ! we ' ll be doing a special beer list that ' ll include a slate of our favorite pumpkin beers ( don ' t hate ! ) and other fall seasonals , plus some special cocktails which may , or may not , contain floating eyeballs . hot mulled wine will also be on the menu .\nif you didn ' t know , bernal is a great ' hood for beer ! a few bernal bars are teaming up for an sf beer week bernal pub crawl featuring marin brewing and monkey paw out of san diego . come have a special beer from each of these breweries at old devil moon , holy water , st mary ' s pub , and rock bar . joining us on the crawl will be : arne johnson -

winning monster movie\nhoping to intervene and catch up with the old man before the local poster children for the nra do , jimmy fuller ( nicholas wright ) makes the decision to call howard ' s estranged , beautiful daughter melanie ( cindy sampson ) . having relocated to the city and cut off all ties with her father after the mysterious death of her mother when she was just a little girl , melanie is hesitant to return to gibbington so instead of owning up to the real reason he is calling , jimmy plays the\nnext of kin\ncard by telling her that her father is close to death .\nwhile on one hand , jimmy\u2019s lie does foreshadow what would happen if the town managed to get hold of the elusive recluse but when melanie surmises the truth , she ' s all set to turn around until she ' s told that he ' s now wanted for brutal murder . although she does not remember jimmy from the youth she ' s tried to block out - - nonetheless the two bond fairly quickly and their rapport is sped up considerably when he introduces her to his mother - - a diner owner who moonlights as a medical healer of sorts , managing to rid melanie of her perpetual headaches that are introduced immediately into the script as a major character trait but are then never referenced again .\nnicely it fills out the 90 minute running time with some excellent character based suspicion and plot twists as predictably we realize that one of the major characters isn ' t perhaps the person we first assumed . in fact the strength of david winning\u2019s work is evidenced whenever it relies on mood , mystery , and evolving character back stories as opposed to when we see the initially\nare in it simply to see that man - eating monster . it\u2019s this same group who gave it the \u201caudience favorite award\u201d at the philadelphia 2008 terror film festival ( who also rewarded the legendary bruce dern who first struck my attention as a kid starring as \u201cyo rumsfield , dude\u201d in\nadmirably , though\u2014in pleasing both the die - hard terror fans and those just giving it a whirl - - david winning manages to elevate his work penned by gary l . dauberman and ethlie ann vare in a way that this decidedly non - horror buff fan could appreciate . in fact , having been sent rhi entertainment and genius products\u2019\nout of the blue , i ' m not ashamed to say that just looking at the box , it seemed like the type of film i would have immediately passed by at the video store or skipped at the multiplex .\n- - surprised by the film that also scored director david winning a 2008 worldfest houston platinum award as the best director . and following its post - film festival life on tv prior to the dvd release , it also received the gold world medal for best direction from 2009\u2019s new york festival\u2019s television programming awards .\ndespite some problems with the sound quality near the beginning , the transfer to this region 1 dvd is excellent - - retaining the same widescreen aspect ratio as it continues , growing in strength audibly as the tension ratchets up in dolby digital surround . thereby , it makes this modern day b movie release much crisper and sharper than the heyday of the b sub - genre decades ago but boy , will you be glad you don\u2019t live in gibbington by the time the final credits roll . oh yeah . . . and it also helps , if your last name isn\u2019t blaime .\ndon ' t miss a movie : extras , extras to read all about it .\njen ' s p . o . v .

crab monstrosities that pass for monsters in modern horror movies . and he ' s often around trees , so the underwhelming compositing actually works in the movie ' s favor - he ' s not supposed to be blending into the scenery all that much , so he sticks out but has the same stuff behind him , which keeps it from looking too silly ( relatively speaking i mean ; he ' s still a giant walking tree ) . plus the attacks are cool - impaling with branches and stomping are his mo , and it never got repetitive to me .\nit just goes to show how much the slightest effort in a script can make a difference in the final product . the cast , the budget , the locations . . . all of these things are in line with every other maneater movie , so why does this one work while something like\nis borderline unwatchable ? so many producers or directors are quick to blame the budget for their movie ' s lapses , but i can usually look past budgetary limitations if the script shows some effort . a decent story as the backbone for your bad fx and dull locations can still produce a decent movie ; great fx and a globe - trotting production don ' t mean shit if the script was dogshit ( see :\nhmad - ing is actually somewhat expensive ! if you can , help bc pay for his various movie - getting services ( netflix , amazon , buying used dvds , etc . ) ! thank you ! ! !\nmelanie ( cindy sampson ) is in bed at home when she is called by an old friend of hers , jimmy ( nicolas wright ) who tells her that her dad is very sick and that he is dying . he tells her that she needs to come home to see him . melanie is reluctant because she doesn ' t get along with her dad who went funny after her mother ' s death . she goes back to the town of gibbington , vermont where she grew up and lived until she was 12 . she meets her old pal jimmy who gets into her car and she drives into town with him . he tells her that he lied about her dad being sick .\nshe is horrified but he explains to her that her dad , howard , is being accused of murder and that he needs her at the moment . she decides to stay and try and help her estranged father .\nso , while i didn ' t love this movie , it was entertaining so i will be kind and give it a 6 / 10 .\nclassic old school style sci fi . interesting characters . the female lead is very pretty but dont expect her to show off . she doesnt . the plot is pretty bad . good cinemantography but not film quality special effects . dont get me wrong i couldnt do better but i would have rated the movie higher had they used less if not any special effects . a great movie to watch on a lazy afternoon or while eating some late night munchies . erick\new\nexplore popular and recently added tv series available to stream now with prime video .\nyou must only upload images which you have created yourself or that you are expressly authorised or licensed to upload . by clicking\npublish\n, you are confirming that the image fully complies with tv . com\u2019s\nand that you own all rights to the image or have authorization to upload it .\ndo not upload anything which you do not own or are fully licensed to upload . the images should not contain any sexually explicit content , race hatred material or other offensive symbols or images . remember : abuse of the urltoken image system may result in you being banned from uploading images or from the entire site \u2013 so , play nice and respect the rules !\n\u00a9 2018 cbs interactive inc . all rights reserved . tv guide digital network | privacy policy | ad choice | terms of use\ndiscover the next consumer item # millennials have killed . . . . urltoken @ mmmegan\u2026 urltoken\ncatch the first ep of our new comedy show # millennialsarekillingit . . . . new age napkins : great for munchies\u2026 urltoken\nit looks like we don ' t have any release dates for this title yet .\nbe the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the release dates submission guide .\norder now and we ' ll ship when it ' s back in stock , or enter your email below to be notified when it ' s back in stock .\nsign up for the cd baby newsletter your email address will not be sold for any reason .\nto listen to tracks you will need to update your browser to a recent version .\nyour cd baby online session is due to expire shortly . would you like to extend your session and remain logged in ?\nwe are updating our terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie and internet advertising policy effective may 25 , 2018 ! you can preview the new version and see details about the updates here .\nhello ! we have selected english as your language preference . if you would like to browse in a different language , please choose a language using the dropdown . deutsch english espa\u00f1ol fran\u00e7ais italiano \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\nall your love\n,\ndone got over\n&\nhighway 61\nrecorded live july 5 , 1991 at art bar , baton rouge , la .\nlonesome bedroom blues\nrecorded live at tipitina ' s in march 1991 in new orleans , la .\nthe arabic , croatian , danish , greek and thai names given are not official .

heedlessly - in love with england and literature , though all the audience comprehends is a rather peculiar passion for leather bindings , not what ' s in them . the film ' s helene might feel just as passionately about baseball cards and , in the blunt way miss bancroft performs , this would make somewhat more sense .\nmy first book had been published in 1981 , but since then each successive project had failed to get off the ground . now , tied down domestically and cut off from london , i felt myself sinking into oblivion . my only refuge was the wonderful local library , where i came upon 84 charing cross road . i was so moved by it i sent hanff a letter , explaining that i was a fellow writer and asking whether we might meet . before long we fixed a date .\nthe film has nothing to do with easy nostalgia ; it ' s about real , credible people , and as such finally becomes very moving .\nin charing cross road , \u201cfpd\u201d and his staff were deeply moved by this gesture from a woman they had never met , 3 , 500 miles away . at easter she delighted them again , with a parcel containing real eggs \u2013 their first in many years of making do with the powdered variety . and so began a more personal , more affectionate transatlantic relationship . soon hanff was exchanging letters not only with doel , but with his kindly irish wife , nora , as well as the rest of the team at marks & co .\nthe ballad of narayama\nis a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens\u2026\ni had remembered watching this film many years ago with my mum and absolutely loved it as a child . i had often thought about it and was delighted to find the film on amazon . i thought maybe it wouldn ' t be as good as i ' d remembered it however it was ! so clever how they made a film based on a book of letters and anne bancroft completely captures the bright energy of helene hanff and anthony hopkins plays a gentle and charming frank . such a lovely film perfect for a sunday afternoon . also the book is a wonderful read too . such a lovely tale of a correspondence that spanned over 20 years and a friendship based on the love of books even though helene and frank didn ' t get the opportunity to meet . a lovely film that captured me as a child and i ' m happy to say as an adult also .\nto a friend embarking on a trip to london that spring , she wrote : \u201cthe blessed man who sold me all my books died a few months ago . but marks & co is still there . if you happen to pass by 84 charing cross road , kiss it for me ! i owe it so much . \u201d the epistolary book chronicling her relationship with the shop was born out of her deep sense of loss . published in the us in 1970 , it was an instant success . unexpectedly , hanff was catapulted out of obscurity to be feted in the media as a new literary celebrity . fan letters poured in to her tiny apartment on east 72nd street .\na story about love and the love of books , 84 charing cross road features academy award ( r ) winners anne bancroft and anthony hopkins in stellar performances . helen hanff ( bancroft ) , a feisty new york writer , mails a letter to a small london bookshop requesting some rare english classics . frank doel ( hopkins ) , the reserved english bookseller , answers her request , beginning a touching and humorous correspondence that spans two continents and two decades . hanff ' s aloof british demeanor , but their mutual love of books forms a bond that deepens with each passing year . their intimate , richly detailed letters draw us into their lives as helen and frank share theirdreams , hopes , sorrows and joys - and , in doing so , develop a lasting and extraordinary friendship .\nwhat a great film . i saw this by accident on the television one sunday afternoon and was totally absorbed by the storyline . it also appealed to me as an avid lover of books and as someone who has always wanted to own a bookshop . the story is heartwarming and funny . would highly recommend . i haven ' t read the book that this film was based on but it ' s on my list to buy .\na nice sunday afternoon film . nice to see hopkins in something before he became a big star ( when he still tried to act ! ) . no - one does repressed englishman better than him and this character ranks with his remains of the day , shadowlands , howards end and elephant man characters . bancroft is great too . it ' s really a film of two halves . if they ever remake it they they use two directors ; one to shoot the london section and the other to shoot the ny section . would be an interesting experiment .\nlovely , amusing film - really enjoyed it . great actors . bancroft plays an america jewish woman who seeks specialist old books . she writes to the shop in london and the manager is hopkins . over the years they start up regular correspondence . the films shows how their lives - her in america and him and his staff and families in london - develop in the twenty years ; including marriages and deaths etc . she even sends food parcels as extra payment for the books as england is still under rations / coupons just after the war when the film begins . unfortunately the american cannot visit them all during the coronation as she has to pay out for dental work . but when she does come over many years later the shop is closed down and the manager ( hopkins ) is dead . what a sad ending ! ! loved this film .\nthis is such a lovely gentle film , far removed from the noisy and violent themes that seem to dominate today . the true story of writer helene hanff and her search for lovely old books that she just cannot find in america . she discovers a bookshop specialising in exactly what she wants and writes to the shop asking for certain books . this begins a wonderful relationship between the shop manager anthony hopkins and herself ( played beautifully by anne bancroft ) . over the years ( the 50s and 60s ) helene manages to add more and more books to her collection , making her desire to actually come to london and visit the shop and all the staff stronger and stronger . i won ' t say more as i do not wish to spoil the film . this is a must for anyone who just wants to be entertained by a brilliant film , well acted and directed .\nin this film , an american writer answers an advertisement from a rare - book store in london and begins a two - decade romance via correspondence with a man in the overseas department . despite several attempts , they never manage to meet . she finally makes it to london only to find the man long gone .\ni have read the book , and then listened to the audio version with juliette stevenson and kevin wheatley reading as helene hanff and frank . twice . the audio is wonderful and captures the letters and the growing fondness between the 2 so well . as does this film . wonderful ann bancroft and antony hopkins . the audio is still my favourite .\nthe film crosscuts between the letters ( hers to them and theirs to her ) in which hardly anything of importance is revealed . she sends them packages of food , which they receive with weepy gratitude , in return for which they send her gifts that bring on the kind of teary - eyed smiles a mother directs at her son - the - doctor .\nthe film is a seemingly unending series of non - epiphanies . the first comes in 1949 when , standing on madison avenue , thumbing through a copy of her beloved saturday review of literature , helene spots an advertisement for marks & co . , antiquarian booksellers . miss bancroft reacts in the manner of an all - too - sincere actress playing bernadette having her first vision .\nthis helene has very few friends . the film treats the emptiness of her life with the delicacy of an undertaker . it maintains utmost discretion . at one point the camera , in panning across her cluttered apartment , sees the photograph of a naval officer on which the camera lingers for maybe half a second . is he a dead fiance ? a brother ? admiral nimitz ? one shouldn ' t ask .\nthe film is based on a hit london and new york play , which was based on a best - selling book . given the thin and unlikely subject matter , that already is a series of miracles . and yet there are people who are pushovers for this material . i should know . i read the book and i saw the play and now i am reviewing the movie , and i still don ' t think the basic idea is sound .\nadapted from helene hanff ' s bestselling account of her dealings with the staff of a london bookshop , this is an absolute delight . building his film around the letters exchanged between hanff and manager frank doel , director david jones manages to create utterly credible characters , convey something of the beauty of books and make some telling comparisons between the gloomy reserve of postwar britain and the effervescence of cold war america . however , what makes this gentle drama so compelling are the performances of anthony hopkins and anne bancroft , who ingeniously fashion a romance between two people who never met .\nthis is a very entertaining film the pairing of anne bancroft and anthony hopkins is excellent , bancroft is really in top form as the sassy new york writer . hopkins is equally convincing as the reserved british book shop manager and buyer . such an entertaining story , the memory of this , will stay with you for a long time . i have always found anne bancroft to be such a captivating actress , i once sat next to her and her husband mel brooks , on a flight from new york to l . a . they were both very amusing company , and she told me she like working in the theatre to be the most rewarding . a superb actress and such a nice lady as well .\ni will not summarize the plot -

running correspondence with \u201cher bookshop\u201d , and especially with frank doel , gave her a treasured bond with the city she seemed destined never to see . when , in january 1969 , she received a letter from marks & co informing her that doel had died of peritonitis following a ruptured appendix , she was devastated . the bond was lost .\nin britain the book was acquired by andr\u00e9 deutsch and published the following june and that month hanff at long last stepped off a plane at heathrow to enjoy five weeks in the city of her dreams . her only sadness was that marks & co had recently closed down . she made a pilgrimage to the empty , dusty shop and visited the now -

deprecating humour .\nshe said she received countless letters from people claiming to be writers and wanting to meet her , who turned out to be amateurs and shams . she now refused to see such people . but she could tell i was a genuine writer , because mine had been a \u201cwriter\u2019s letter\u201d . even this small compliment acted on me like a tonic .\ni was in my mid - thirties , she was nearing 70 , i had a family , she was alone and fiercely independent . i was at a low ebb in my career , she was at the height of hers . yet , opposites though we were , we shared some common threads in our lives .\nwhen i told her about my stagnating career and fear that time was passing me by , she empathised because she had been through the same thing , at exactly the same age . she described how , when she was 34 , she woke up in a sweat one night at the terrifying thought that she still hadn\u2019t had a play on broadway .\nwhen i complained about how remote and unhelpful literary agents were , she snorted in agreement . her own agent , she said , wouldn\u2019t take her calls for years as she wasn\u2019t considered \u201cbig enough\u201d . even after 84 became a bestseller the agent remained elusive .\n\u201cit wasn\u2019t until i got a hollywood deal that she\u2019d finally speak to me . \u201d later , i explained my personal dilemma . like her , i was a passionate urbanite , but i couldn\u2019t come to manhattan much during the week because of my husband\u2019s and sons\u2019 schedules .\n\u201cthere\u2019s no dilemma , \u201d she declared . \u201cjust leave a note for your husband on friday evening , saying \u2018see you monday morning ! \u2019\u201d when her book q\u2019s legacy \u2013 about the influence on her of the literary critic sir arthur quiller -

if the existence of a complex thing is evidence of a creator , who created god ? surely god is more complex than his creations .\nfor the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing , but to us who are being saved it is the power of god . for it is written ,\nthe existence of evil seems inconsistent with the existence of a god who is wholly good , and can do anything .\njust because hunger is generated in the brain by physical processes doesn\u2019t mean that food doesn\u2019t exist .\nwilliam of occam would not have agreed ;

( and what caused the cause of god , and so on . ) the argument might proceed that if god didn ' t need a cause , then maybe the universe didn ' t need a cause either . if god was already perfect before he created the universe , why did he create it ?

more freedom ! \u201d rebellion in her father\u2019s classroom . it ' s funny , but not to us . because we ' re not 12 years old anymore . but the disney channel ' s audience is .\nhere\u2019s the peculiar issue with girl meets world : it\u2019s a show that\u2019s been created for a certain demographic , but it\u2019s also a show that\u2019s been created because of a certain , different demographic .\nmovie news , screening invitations and reviews from the world of independent film and beyond .\nthis is all to say that , aside from the initial flutters of glee you\u2019ll get from seeing ben savage\u2019s and danielle fishel\u2019s first entrances , there\u2019s little for boy meets world fans to get excited about in girl meets world . in all likelihood , the millennials who couldn\u2019t wait for it to begin are the ones who aren\u2019t going to bother to watch a second episode . but we shouldn\u2019t really be surprised .\nfor boy meets girl is a movie of much greater , and more subtle , appeal than its plot summary would indicate . plot is hardly what\u2019s important here . like a lot of first features , the film is meandering but filled with incident , colorful details , bits of business obviously drawn from real life . carax has a ready supply of little jokes to keep the wayward narrative lively .\nboy meets girl scooped the trans media award at the annual stonewall award ceremony on 5th november at the v & a . sir ian mckellen presented the trophy to the show ' s creator elliott kerrigan , the writing team of simon carlyle and andrew mettam , producer margot gavan duffy , and rebecca root .\non 25th march 2015 as part of their lgbt movies series . she introduced the film that\nthe alex of boy meets girl rises above his cruddy boho milieu through the force of his imagination . as the primeval bowie number \u201cwhen i live my dream\u201d plays on the soundtrack , alex walks along the seine at night framing shots with his hands just like a director would , and a viewer seeing the film today can only wonder if this \u201calex\u201d isn\u2019t already mentally composing shots for les amants du pont - neuf .\nthe cool thing about boy meets world is that it grew up with us . what started as a kids show about first crushes and dog - ate - my - homework schoolyard hijinx eventually developed into a thoughtful series that ( lightheartedly and humorously ) explored what happens after the boy meets the world and becomes familiar with its more mature , sometimes darker realities : heartbreak , loss , sex , alcohol , and , in one infamous episode , cults .\nit\u2019s a feel - good film that gives a voice to characters who most heartily deserve one .\nrebecca attended the los angeles premiere of the danish girl at the regency westwood theater on november 21st . also in attendance were the film ' s director , tom hooper , stars eddie redmayne , alicia vikander\ngirl , citing declining viewing figures and a\nnatural conclusion\nto judy and leo ' s storyline .\nrebecca root and eddie redmayne at the la premiere of the danish girl . photo ( c ) jaimie stevens\nthe topside test is , obviously , inspired by the bechdel test , and boy meets girl fails here too . the bechdel test requires a ) two named women characters b ) who talk to each other c ) about something other than a man . even though much of the film focuses on ricky\u2019s relationship with her new friend francesca ( alexandra turshen ) , they never make it through a whole conversation without talking about the men in their lives .\ngirl meets world is a perfectly pleasant disney channel show . newcomer rowan blanchard plays riley , cory and topanga\u2019s oldest daughter . it was mentioned before , but the point needs to be made again : riley is the star of girl meets world . the series is told through her eyes , which is frustrating for people who wanted to exclusively see what married life\u2019s like for cory and topanga , but completely understandable for a network that has young kids to entertain .\nwe want to be careful not to present any one opinion as \u201cthe voice of the trans community . \u201d so rather than either of us reviewing the film , we\u2019re doing it together . below are some questions we have asked ourselves and each other , and each of our responses , which together provide a critical trans and queer perspective on boy meets girl .

neuf , \u201991 ; pola x , \u201999 , and of course holy motors , 2012 ) , and yet his films make up a formidable body of work . taken together , his five movies chart his progression from charming enfant terrible to maestro of deranged spectacles .\nnow in its eighth year , new frontier is the sundance film festival\u2019s series highlighting innovation and experimentation in modern storytelling . read more here .\nstuffed with earnest speeches and \u201cdid that feel good ? \u201d post - mortems \u2014 and a cloying montage at the end \u2014 \u201cboy meets girl\u201d can feel like a too - pointed , simplistic lesson in acceptance . even so , mr . schaeffer doesn\u2019t shy from the darkness at the edge of difference , using the social - media confessions of ricky\u2019s younger self to deepen the narrative and deliver his most critical message : that no matter what our equipment says , we don\u2019t have to agree .\ncraving more trans actors playing trans roles ? meet michelle hendley , whose debut as charming small - town trans girl ricky has viewers and critics wanting more .\ngage : i don\u2019t really have grand ideas about the role of art or its responsibility to society or anything . i will say however that the current situation in this moment means that putting trans characters , and especially trans women , into movies is a way to make the film \u201cedgy\u201d and get much more attention than it otherwise would receive . we\u2019ve seen this with dallas buyer\u2019s club , transparent , and now also with boy meets girl . keeping this in mind i think that films which are using trans women and benefiting merely from including a trans women as a character have an obligation to at least do a good job with their representations .\ngage : the topside test was created to highlight a problem in mainstream media , where trans characters are always portrayed in isolation , even though in reality , most trans people are part of trans community or have relationships with other trans people . the test requires a ) two trans characters b ) who know each other and c ) talk about something other than a transition - related medical procedure . boy meets girl has only one trans character , so it fails the topside test on the first criterion .\nthe title \u201c boy meets girl \u201d suggests a run - of - the - mill romantic comedy , and at first the movie appears to be just that . a 20 - something man and woman , longtime best friends , hang out at a coffee shop and give each other a hard time . he\u2019s an avowed lothario and she\u2019s lamenting the dearth of relationship - focused guys . both are beautiful , so of course you set your stopwatch for how long it\u2019ll take these two to just fall for each other already .\nrebecca appeared at the uk premiere of the danish girl at london ' s odeon leicester square cinema on 8th december 2015 . the event was attended by the film ' s stars eddie redmayne , alicia vikander , sebastian koch and matthias schoenaerts as well as director tom hooper , screenwriter lucinda coxon , and producer gail mutrux .\ndavey : with regard to feminism , my biggest critique of boy meets girl is that , like most romantic films , it uncritically buys into the romance myth \u2013 the idea that falling in love solves all of life\u2019s problems . there are many well - documented feminist critiques pointing out the problems with the romance myth ( see e . g . all about love : new visions by bell hooks , and this by dean spade ) . the fact that in this case one of the characters is trans does not fix any of those problems .\nspecial thanks to hb lozito and green mountain crossroads for hosting our local screening and for making space for trans people to share their perspectives on the film .\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\nrebecca will attend the london premiere on december 8th at the odeon leicester square ; the film ' s general uk release follows on january 1st , 2016 .\nunion high school student over 40 years ago , and his family still resides in the area . viewers will recognize many of the film\u2019s vermont locations and actors ,\nwith a couple of big twists on the romantic -

cute - in - a - foreign - city stories . but very quickly , other things start to come to the surface , things that don ' t quite fit . the tension between the expectations that arise due to the familiar genre and what is actually happening onscreen makes\ncopenhagen\nspecial , and a bit strange . there ' s also the undeniable fact that the girl in the film is , in actuality , a girl . she ' s half the age of william , the lead character . so any possibility of romance is distinctly illegal in nature .\ncopenhagen\ndoesn ' t shy away from that , and is unafraid to allow that queasy reality to come to the surface . the film doesn ' t entirely work , but sometimes things that don ' t entirely work are interesting , bringing tension and unresolved issues that start to take over the film , almost by stealth . it ' s nice to watch something that isn ' t neat , that doesn ' t play it safe .\nduring the beginning of his search ( conducted like the film blow -

1447 .\ngage : trans women are telling our own stories and have been for decades . but these stories are rarely heard by cis folks ( and especially straight cis folks ) . beyond funding , i think we need to examine the cis audience\u2019s attitudes . we need cisgender audiences who are excited to see movies ( including in straight / mainstream theaters ) in which they\u2019re not centered or the intended viewer . trans women who have interesting stories to tell are writing them with other trans women in mind as the audience . plenty of other people can also get a lot out of these stories , but the stories won\u2019t pander to a simplistic straight cisgender understanding of gender and sexuality like boy meets girl does .\nwe\u2019re all primed for the joy of the idea a pop - culture revival . but we\u2019re never prepared for the sorrows of its disappointing reality . maybe , then , there\u2019s something to be learned from the message of this girl meets world pilot . the crux of the episode follows maya and riley\u2019s discovery of who they truly are and learning to embrace it . maybe we should do the same with this show , instead of wishing that it was something else .\nben affleck ' s directorial debut film was an adaptation of dennis lehane ' s novel gone , baby , gone . in the film ' s opening voice - over narration during the credits , private investigator patrick kenzie ( casey affleck ) spoke about how his job was to find missing people because of his connections in the tough neighborhood where he grew up ( in the working class area of dorchester near boston ) :\nuntil then , ricky is stuck in her home town , somewhere in kentucky , working as a barista and perpetually shooting the breeze with her best buddy since first grade , robby ( michael welch ) , an easygoing , good - old - boy mechanic .\nbut something wild happened in those 14 years . cory and topanga had a daughter . she\u2019s in middle school . now , she\u2019s also the star of girl meets world . and those of use who were clamoring for more of the cory - and - topanga story we fell in love with over a decade ago ? well , we don\u2019t want her to be . in fact , we\u2014if i could be a bit of pop - culture lorax for the moment and speak for all of us\u2014are kind of annoyed that she is .\nwhat are your thoughts on the differences between the ideal and the reality of language around trans folks . many of us might cringe when ricky uses terms \u201cbiological girl\u201d or \u201cthe full surgery , \u201d and there are also trans folks who would use that language .\na ground - breaking coming - of - age romantic comedy , the film explores how falling in love transcends gender and how important it is to live a courageous life without fear standing in the way of your dreams . ( c )\ngreat movie , really liked it . the girl is so pretty as well , would really not pick her as transgendered aside from her voice . really a sweet story about how you can fall in love with a person and not a gender and to follow your dreams .\na childhood acquaintance from simon ' s past , gordon moseley , was actually the victim of simon ' s bullying and torment - and simon was revealed as the real villain of the film . in high school , simon had spread the lie that gordon was gay and had been seen being molested by an older boy in a car . afterwards , the accusation ruined gordon ' s life . gordon set up an elaborate scheme to get payback revenge over 20 years later , including possibly impregnating simon ' s drugged - up wife robyn during an alleged rape\ncarax was born alex dupont in 1960 . the boy wonder wasn\u2019t one to shy away from pretension : his assumed name is an anagram of \u201calex oscar , \u201d alluding to his childhood dream of winning an academy award . he dropped out of school while still a teenager , which isn\u2019t surprising given his early work . to judge by his first two features , engaging affairs bursting with precocious talent , carax had already assimilated 70 years of filmmaking technique at an age when most would - be directors are struggling to get approval for their final film - school projects .\nthe ' ghostwriter ' wrote the sentence on a piece of paper , passed through a number of hands to ruth , and shortly after , as he stepped outside with the original manuscript , he was run - down ( off - screen ) in the street ( the same thoroughfare in the film ' s opening ) . he was murdered like mcara , in order to silence him - or were both deaths just an accident ? his manuscript papers blew down the street in the wind as the film faded to white before the credits .\nwhat one may expect to happen does not exactly go down as planned .\ncopenhagen\nremains true to its own original and somewhat prickly course . there are moments when it is not clear at all why effy is even choosing to hang out with william , who is rude and combative ( in moments big and small ) . but she wants to know what happened to william ' s grandfather . over the course of the film an interesting thing starts happening . william starts to take responsibility for the words he uses . he starts to actually listen to himself and do his best to change course . a lifetime of being a rude rage - boy will not vanish overnight , and a lesser film would have made it effy ' s job to show him the better way . but\ncopenhagen\nisn ' t really about that . nobody can save you . you have to save yourself .\nalong the rocky path of his career , carax has been celebrated as a boy genius and jeered and derided as a fraud . the director has won awards , bankrupted producers , conducted affairs with his leading actresses , and in general shown a stubborn willingness to suffer for his art . what more romantic trajectory could there be for a virtuoso auteur ?\nricky ' s life takes a dramatic turn when she meets francesca ( alexandra turshen ) , the sort of refined debutante who uses the expression\ncharmed , i ' m sure\nupon being introduced to someone . despite being engaged to a marine serving in afghanistan , francesca finds herself attracted to ricky , and the two begin a relationship .\nthe general was court -

crazed teens , an overabundance of nudity ( sometimes pretty , sometimes not ) , a dream - like story wrapped snugly in a nightmare and a killer soundtrack . however , it would be lazy for someone to call it trash cinema\u2014there\u2019s a lot of feeling in his films ( please watch \u201cmysterious skin\u201d now ) . araki is a brilliant director who finds a great deal of meaning in stories of teenage angst and sexual desire , and is perhaps the finest example of coming -

rated film . it is her favorite movie and she wanted to show it in class . i went to your web site to research the film\u2019s content . although i had not seen the movie myself , i was able to make an educated argument against it based on the concerns you outlined . the prof said that she was impressed by my stand and decided to poll the whole class and give us a choice . we overwhelmingly voted to watch a g - rated movie instead ! i\u2019ve learned that i can trust your site and i will be using it a lot in the future . \u201d\nbut it ' s hendley ' s ricky who commands attention , thanks to the performer ' s utter naturalism in front of the camera and her willingness to bare herself both emotionally and , in one of the film ' s most affecting scenes , physically . the filmmaker , who sought out hendley after seeing her confessional videos on youtube , has done a superb job of shepherding her acting debut .\nit was both a complex serial - killer procedural and a neo - noir , with themes of generational sexual abuse , sadistic violence against women , revenge , family secrets , corporate corruption , and nazi racism . it was the first adaptation of the millennium trilogy , a series of books by stieg larsson . there were a number of questions to be answered in the film as it told its story .\nbut the film largely concentrates on the relationships between ricky and the people in her life , including her supportive father and loving kid brother . the characterizations are drawn with an uncommon complexity : francesca proves far more open - minded than her upbringing would suggest ; robby ultimately realizes that his feelings for ricky extend far beyond friendship ; and even the bigoted michael turns out to have a reason for his explosive anger .\nwriter / director joel edgerton ' s twisting vengeance - based thriller ( his directorial debut film ) had some elements of fatal attraction ( 1987 ) , the hand that rocks the cradle ( 1992 ) , and michael haneke ' s cache ( 2005 ) . a suburban la couple had just relocated from chicago due to a change in the husband ' s work ( and after robyn had lost a pregnancy ) :\ndavey : i\u2019m a genderqueer trans person . i\u2019ve been \u201cout\u201d as genderqueer and trans since 1999 . i\u2019m also a consultant who provides professional development training around trans inclusion to educators , service providers and community members . i\u2019m approaching this film from my own perspective as a trans community member , and also from the perspective of someone who spends a lot of time with would -

of - kin , to identify his mother at the phoenix morgue - he concealed that he noticed lilly ' s right hand did not have its tell - tale cigar burn mark .\ndavey : for one thing , it would take funding . trans women are economically marginalized , and mostly lack the resources needed to launch artistic endeavors on the scale of a feature - length film with paid cast and crew . even before that point , discrimination in education and employment means that many trans women are excluded from opportunities to get the training and experience needed to create something on this scale . fund trans -

length reprise of chazelle\u2019s award - winning short of the same name , the film also stars miles teller ( \u201cthe spectacular now\u201d ) as andrew , a budding young drummer at the country\u2019s top music school who thinks he\u2019s the next buddy rich . this high - energy tale of blood , toil , tears and sweat feels especially apt given this year\u2019s inclusion of the \u201cfree fail\u201d panel at the festival , which , like the film itself , explores the notion of failure as integral to the creative process . read more here .\nfilmed and set in a rural kentucky town , the story follows ricky ( played by michelle hendley ) and robby ( played by michael welch , twilight series ) who have been friends since they were 6 -

trademark role . he never fits into the purely romantic mode needed for the hero in such a movie but the movie doesn ' t offer him much oppurtunity for comedy or action either . jyothi lacks both glamour and acting skills and naturally , was lost after this movie . sukumari makes a mark as the hard -

in - all - azhaguraja ( aiaa ) workshop .\nrajini arrives in one wearing what looks like a swimming cap . or was it his helmet . then the race begins . the announcer narrates the entire proceeding as if he was telling the mahabaratha story over the radio .\nit would hardly be justifying calling it a race . it was more like a stroll in the park . the racers looks more like rallying for some cause , maybe for better quality bikes .\nrajini himself has to go through some turbulence like the bike not starting ( where\u2019s aiaa when you need him ) . but the filmmaker , sensing that we would dismiss the race as non - race , had the racing bikers to overtake bullock carts . those speed demons !\nanyway , rajini wins of course , and receives the price from the films heroine , jyothi an actress who\u2019s achne spots are more than the number of films she did .\nokay , here\u2019s the thing i disliked about this film . the bike racing and the bike riding was what between a good film that this is and a great film which it could have been . i mean , it could have been okay if the bike was harley davidson or the chopper thingy raghuvaran was bumming about with in siva . the aiaa bike already looked too old and clumsy when the film first came out .\nthere\u2019s a bit of formula that you know . girl dislikes boy , boy teachers her lesson , girl likes boy , boy likes girl , and the girl\u2019s mother gets henchmen to beat the living daylights out of the boy\u2019s uncle .\nyeah , played by tenggai sreenivasan , he\u2019s the girl\u2019s family driver , and he overhears the part where the girl and her friends discuss how disgustingly black rajini was ( at the beginning , later she embraces black , literally ) . angered , he stopped the car he was ferrying them with , gets out , scolds them , and throws in the key , the cap , uniform and\u2026\n\u2026thank god he doesn\u2019t remove his pants . if there are still many guys out there in their thirties or forties , still scarred by something that happened in their childhood / youth , to the point that they became homophobic , i got two words : topless tenggai ( tt ) .\nanyway , thanks to tt , a sight that also would horrify any decent acne - scarred girls , tt was punished with whipping to the point that he still got almost topless again due to torn shirt . hah ! you know what happens next , rajini , after finding out , tears into the rich lady\u2019s bungalow in the aiaa bike , and gives the henchmen who whipped tt , his share of lashing ( rajini usually don\u2019t lash whip , he goes apeshit insane with it ) .\nso , the girl\u2019s mother , played by veteran \u201cplease hate me\u201d mother / mother -

lah\u201d . and voluntarily , with some domestic violence included , my wife yelled , \u201clet them - lah . what\u2019s your bloody problem ? \u201d to those who are new to this blog , my wife is a hardcore fanatic terrorist fan of rajini and refers to him as \u201cappa\u201d ( dad ) .\nand the romance goes on and on and on and on\u2026and i bet the bad guys and henchmen were frustrated and retreated to the nearest tea stall .\nof course the mother being evil , this time she stands next to a full taxidermy tiger , gets to know about this relationship . to summarise the plot at this point , she opposes , then she relents and of course you know she\u2019ll be up to something . you know this not because we have a bit of thinking capability . no , it\u2019s because she was looking fierce besides a stuffed tiger . thanks director .\nblah , blah , blah , rajini gets tied up literally in a chair , and elsewhere jyothi was getting married . and this henchman , who was supposed to guard the tied up rajini , wanted something to read . i mean , what else can there be in that room ? bagavad geetha ? wall street journal . no , rajini\u2019s diary of course . he reads it , becomes saddened by rajini\u2019s plight , and actually releases him .\nimagine if all the heroes carry diaries with them . in fact , vijayakanth\u2019s films would be quarter its length .\nvijayakanth : before we indulge in overlong fights , and do unrealistic stunts . would you like to read my diary ?\npakistani terrorist : sure dude . wait let me hang this ak47 . ( reads the diary and tears flows free from his eyes ) oh my god , what have i done . can i be an indian citizen ? pretty please ?\nanyway , rajini\u2019s too late ( it\u2019s that bloody aaia bike , i tell you . he would have reached faster with a mountain bike ) and some junior artist ties thali around jyothi\u2019s neck . too late , dude . as per the norm since the nageswararao days , he hits the bottle which immediately provides enough testosterone to give him beard overnight .\ncut to present day . he is sulking , and he apparently has a kid , a girl , and wife . and some dude played by delhi ganesh fixing things in the house . by chance , jyothi would be in the same town as he is , working as a teacher . he\u2019s married , she\u2019s married . but he still yearns for her , and what happens ?\nwell , readers , this is the part where this review will get boring . not that the scenes are terrible , i have quoted the terrible ones . this is the part where the movie gets awesome . this is the part where you rajini fans can thump your chest and be proud to call yourselves his fan .\nhe is simply fantastic . there are long , quiet scenes later in the movie that would have made a hack actor awkward . but rajini pulls it off professionally ; the subtle change of expressions has to be seen to be believed . especially when both rajini and jyothi meet again after the aaia bike denied rajini of last minute ass kicking and eloping .\nand the ones that catch me off - guard each time i revisit the film is the romance . you would never have seen or would probably never see rajini this romantic . wife suggested that he probably did homework by hanging out long hours with kamal . and the strength of this performance that convinces us on how he could not let her go even after she was married . the last half an hour will really tug your heart , thanks to his and her performance . yes , all my insults apart , she\u2019s a pretty good actress . too bad she didn\u2019t have the look to last longer in the industry .\nadd that to some nice songs , the sad version of the duet mentioned , ada vare vaa , where rajini and the girl demonstrates various yoga moves in fast forward , and the beautiful , vaa vaa vasanthame , this is a highly revisitable movie . and close your kids eyes when tt scenes occur .\nwith apologies to john cleese , graham chapman and micahel palin .

fun consequences . it inadvertently dates 2010 as well before silicon valley\u2019s very recent anti - bro backlash , the delayed side effect of a hyper - masculine culture of \u201cbreak stuff , change the status quo , who cares what happens next as long as it\u2019s different . \u201d\nlike early haneke without the intellectual rigour but enlivened with beautiful moments of realisation , it ' s a film that becomes harder to take the more it sides with its\nsensitive\nstar .\nfilm critics made the understandable mistake of identifying zuckerberg as powerful in only an antiquated sense of the term , but sorkin made the worse one of letting him off the hook as a kid who\u2019d been hurt . ( all this supports the argument that , as zuckerberg wished , we shouldn\u2019t have made a film about him while he was still alive . ) the social network is still a useful , enjoyable memento , but it\u2019s clearly written with very little appreciation of its own stakes , and a lot of reverence for the brilliance of its central figure . in 2010 , it may have read as a searing portrait of the moment when , as dargis said in her review , zuckerberg turned \u201chis life \u2014 and ours \u2014 into a series of zeroes and ones\u201d but it only took that idea as far as a lonely dinner or a dark room .\na few lines from the film feel particularly hilarious seven years later . for one : \u201cwe don\u2019t know what it is yet , we just know that it\u2019s cool . \u201d facebook . . . cool ?\nby the end of the film , the director desires the audience to have sympathy at arm\u2019s length , but whether that is achieved is arguable . though not completely sentimentalising murder , we\u2019re invited to consider the subtleties and complexities of evil conduct - spontaneity and premeditation , malice and regret . as a taxi driver innocuously remarks after the film\u2019s climax , people who commit such awful deeds as murder must only be inhuman .\nben affleck ' s directorial debut film was an adaptation of dennis lehane ' s novel gone , baby , gone . in the film ' s opening voice - over narration during the credits , private investigator patrick kenzie ( casey affleck ) spoke about how his job was to find missing people because of his connections in the tough neighborhood where he grew up ( in the working class area of dorchester near boston ) :\na childhood acquaintance from simon ' s past , gordon moseley , was actually the victim of simon ' s bullying and torment - and simon was revealed as the real villain of the film . in high school , simon had spread the lie that gordon was gay and had been seen being molested by an older boy in a car . afterwards , the accusation ruined gordon ' s life . gordon set up an elaborate scheme to get payback revenge over 20 years later , including possibly impregnating simon ' s drugged - up wife robyn during an alleged rape\nfinal confirmation that movie will be released in 3d . no word on if it will be shot in 3d or converted in post . knowing bay\u2019s obsession with film , i\u2019m assuming he agreed on a post process .\nreversing the situation , bond held his enemy over the massive parabolic dish by his ankles , and they exchanged a final brief conversation before bond dropped him : (\nfor england , james ?\nno . for me\n) . after the villain fell to the ground , the massive satellite transmitter - antenna crashed down on him to end his life .\nnot the best work by the director sang - il lee , but overall , i was able to appreciate the film quite a bit , thanks to superb performances . wish it went a bit further . perhaps more oomph .\neach performance is pitch - perfect , distracting the audience from the fact that this is ultimately lifetime tv movie fodder , and seducing them into believing that it really is a triumphant film about the enduring power of family loyalty .\ngreat performance from mrs fukatsu , fantastic direction , but the movie seems to exist mostly for the final sequence . i liked a lot the sub - story of the father of the victim . flawed film , but with interesting touches .\ni ' m surprised this movie didn ' t get more international attention though . or at least an oscar nomination for best foreign film and best actress for eri fukatsu who was painfully good . ok , i ' m done . lol\noman polanski ' s first hollywood feature was an adaptation of ira levin ' s bestseller , and its success launched a trend for devil - baby , evil - kiddy and satanic pregnancy movies that extended well into the 70s . the novel was first recognised as potential film material at proof stage by low - budget horror entrepreneur william castle , who ended up as the producer and had a fleeting cameo in the film as a man smoking a cigar outside a phone booth .\nin 1999 , burton directed a freely adapted film version , sleepy hollow , of washington irving & apos ; s haunting tale the legend of sleepy hollow , in which johhny depp offered a notable performance as the heroic ichabod crane . in 2001 , burton took on an ambitious remake of the 1968 cult classic planet of the apes starring mark wahlberg and helena bonham carter . 2003 saw the release of the fantasy drama big fish , which stars ewan mcgregor and albert finney . the film earned four golden globe nominations . in 2005 , he released a remake of charlie and the chocolate factory starring johnny depp and a stop - motion animated feature called the corpse bride , which received an oscar nod for best animated feature film .\nafter super - villain megamind ( ferrell ) kills his good - guy nemesis , metro man ( pitt ) , he becomes bored since there is no one left to fight . he creates a new foe , tighten ( hill ) , who , instead of using his powers for good , sets out to destroy the world , positioning megamind to save the day for the first time in his life .\ni want to watch this movie so bad ! i just finished reading the book and i really liked it . can ' t wait to see how it plays out on film . why must the dvd be released in march ? : - (\nbay claims \u201cone thing we\u2019re getting rid of is what i call the dorky comedy\u201d adding the the twins are \u201cbasically gone\u201d but comic relief john turturro returns . bay\u2019s \u201cbasically gone\u201d comment seems to confirm that they have a short appearance in the film .\naccording to a ( probably spurious ) film - making legend , polanski , having never before adapted a novel , didn ' t realise he was allowed to make changes , with the result that his screenplay is remarkably faithful to levin ' s book .\nthe film\u2019s visual design is a sometimes winning mix of styles , most clearly inspired by those of picasso and the illustrator pierre le - tan .

( which also initially confused me until i realised what his motivation was ) . basically it ' s a doomed romance between him and a quiet girl who works in a menswear store .\nmegamind is a highly entertaining and inventive animated comedy that deserves far more praise than what it has received . i really thought that the film was one of those films that really exceeded expectations , and was quite good with the story , voice cast and 9of course animation . the film has plenty of good comedic bits , and to viewers who enjoy a fun , entertaining comedy that is engaging from start to finish , megamind is definitely worth your time . i thought that the idea here was very good , and of course simple , and while using that , the filmmakers were able to pull off something quite memorable in the process . for what it is , it ' s an impressive will ferrell vehicle , and here he does some very good work as the lead character , megamind . if you love animated features , megamind is a film for you . with some great on - screen gags , well crafted story , and good performances from the talent voicing the characters , megamind succeeds at being a wonderful animated comedy , one that uses the bare minimum to really grab your attention . i felt that this movie definitely deserved more praise than what it initially got , and it should belong among the most memorable genre films . megamind has great characters , a good idea that just grabs your attention . what megamind does so well is that it uses its cast to really elevate the film ' s material , and since the cast is comprised of some of today ' s funniest actors , it ' s what gives the film its edge to make it stand out among other animated features , that and it ' s visuals , effective direction and well thought out comedy . megamind is well worth seeing if you enjoy animated features and it ' s a movie that is well worth your time .\nthe as -

warming story , but the way tony goldwyn and the cast of conviction tell it , it ' s not so gripping ( boring even at parts ) and compelling , but it tries to manipulate the audience to care , to cry , to cheer . but to tell the truth , it got about half - way . there is almost no history to these characters , and there are a lot of people to remember the names of , and we are supposed to hate , or love these people , but we don ' t know much about them , nor have we seen much of them either . the performances by hilary swank , sam rockwell , melissa leo , minnie driver , juliette lewis , baliee madison , and tobias campbell are what keep this film above water . see this film for the extraordinary performances , if for nothing else .\nin the pre -

) .\nvery multilayered tragedy features some beautiful performances from senior cast members , punctuated by a melancholy score by jo hisaishi . the central love story between lonely woman fukatsu and lonely youth turned murderer tsumabuki is good but runs a bit too long . however , what i really liked about this film is that it takes the time to fully explore all of it ' s subplots . the one of the father seeking solace , then revenge , over his daughters murder being particularly poignant . then , the young murderer ' s grandmother ' s stoicism in the face of adversity - just beautiful , but sad of course . no one does melodrama as well as the japanese , and i ' m a sucker for it . be warned . some moments will require kleenex .\ndozens of interviews \u2014 along with news clips and arresting aerial shots of new york , iceland and other disaster areas \u2014 are folded into a clear and absorbing history , narrated by matt damon . the music ( an opening song , \u201cbig time , \u201d by peter gabriel , and a score by alex heffes ) and the clean wide - screen cinematography provide an aesthetic polish that is welcome for its own sake and also important to the movie\u2019s themes . the handsomely lighted and appointed interiors convey a sense of the rarefied , privileged worlds in which the wall street operators and their political enablers flourished , and the elegance of the presentation also subliminally bolsters the film\u2019s authority . this is not a piece of ragged muckraking or breathless advocacy . it rests its outrage on reason , research and careful argument .\njust when we think we ' re dealing with a straight forward thriller , the story takes a sharp left turn and plunges us into a much more ambiguous space where good and evil seem to slowly merge , reflect each other , and then swap as the film gradually upends all our preconceptions . yet shimizu is given a temporary oasis from the implacable march of fate in the form of mitsuyo , a young naive woman who , unaware of his notoriety , falls in love with him . convinced that despite his dysfunctional behaviour , where everything , including their own sex , is commodified and stripped of emotion , mitsuyo believes they can find a way to be together . at lunch with her in a twee tourist trap shimizu blurts out his terrible secret . as her illusions about shimizu ' s character are shattered , she chooses to replace these with a delusional conviction that somehow their love can transcend the situation and remove them from the normal constraints of society .\n, \u201d which has been the heavy favorite among critics this past year , picked up yet another victory by topping the magazine\u2019s ranking of domestic films .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\na young woman ' s murder provokes reflection on the ugliness and villainy of modern society .\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 .\na grisly unsolved murder links three seemingly unrelated stories in three different japanese cities .\non the anniversary of the death of the mother of a hip and happening tokyo - based photographer , the son returns to his hometown for the funeral . what follows is a return to the past that is . . . see full summary \u00bb"]}

( although some early reviews of independence day : resurgence do appear to be relatively kind . ) it can also be read as a signal that with a presold , megabudget sequel like this , the studio\u2019s marketing team thinks critics simply don\u2019t matter : it\u2019s an independence day sequel . your decision to buy a ticket won\u2019t have anything to do with whether a critic liked it or not .\npart of the problem was that the thing opened two weeks after e . t . and while e . t . featured a benevolent alien and a happy ending , the thing starred a violent , evil alien and had an ending that left audiences scratching their heads a bit .\nthat sentiment is precisely what critics of to the bone have warned about : that the film glamorizes eating disorders and calorie counting and might serve as an instructional video on how best to have an eating disorder .\nnow , keene says , she\u2019s glad about depp\u2019s casting because it means a native person isn\u2019t \u201cembroiled in that mess . \u201d\nthough it\u2019s often cited as a remake of the 1951 film the thing from another world , it\u2019s really not . though the two films do share the same source material\u2014john w . campbell jr . \u2019s 1938 story , \u201cwho goes there ?

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

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

minute preview of my score !\nlynch has yet to comment specifically on the situation , however he has been tweeting with the hashtag # notmycut from his twitter account . fingers crossed that knights of badaasdom gets the premiere it deserves .\nas it stands , knights of badassdom is an entertaining way to spend just under 90 minutes . a more restrained approach might yield a tighter movie , one that could be funnier by percentage ( the trailer remains popular , and you don\u2019t get more condensed than that ) , but i think it\u2019s still well enough constructed to keep genre - minded viewers entertained .\nin the publishing industry , you\u2019re warned to be careful about how many genres you mash together . just the right amount of the right genres mixed together , such as action , humor , and science fiction , can give you a great movie like men in black . but if you add in too much or , worse , add in everything , you get a mess . and knights of badassdom is just such a mess .\nas the premise suggests , knights of badassdom takes a very meta - horror approach to its outlandish story , not unlike a jennifer ' s body or piranha 3d . for the most part , the movie embraces the lighter side of larping , which works to its advantage most of the time . naturally , it pokes some fun at the medieval - themed activity - - in - game conversations , for example , are frequently played for laughs . but as the story unfolds , it becomes clear that knights ' ribbing is done out of love . in that way , it feels a bit like role models - - which also had a larping element - - though not quite as funny .\nlynch tweeted \u201c # notmycut\u201d in march . that has been interpreted by the \u201cbadassdom\u201d fans to mean he lost control of the film and is unhappy with the finished product . attempts made to reach lynch were unsuccessful .\nkwanten said having the film get a huge saturday afternoon panel in comic -

the - scenes wrangles , which saw it taken out of director joe lynch\u2019s hands and re - edited in a way he wasn\u2019t happy with . having been shot in 2010 , and gaining some anticipation in certain circles online thanks to funny clips / trailers and general hype , by the time the edited version was released stateside in early 2014 , reception was poor . a lot of this was put down to it still not being lynch\u2019s cut , but i disagree for two reasons : one , i thought this version was good fun ; and two , based on what i\u2019ve read , i\u2019m not convinced lynch\u2019s preferred cut would help any of the elements that might need helping .\nthere are a number of releases on this week ' s list that are worth checking out . this includes gloria , the official oscar selection from chile ; stranger by the lake , an erotic thriller with a gay protagonist ; and our man in tehran , a canadian documentary that tells the story of what happened in argo . there are also some less serious films that i think i will like more than the average critic : 3 night stand and knights of badassdom . on the other hand , the widest release is gimme shelter , which might do well if it can tap into the churchgoing demographic ; however , it could also miss the mendoza line . more . . .\nrich cowan , an executive producer of the film , is one of the few locals who have seen a full version of the film , though he hasn\u2019t seen the final cut .\nit\u2019s hard to imagine a movie getting closer to the platonic ideal of nerdity than knights of badassdom . it\u2019s about live action role - playing ( larping ) . it\u2019s got game of thrones\u2019 peter dinklage , community\u2019 s dany pudi , firefly\u2019 s summer glau , and a succubus . it ruled hall h at comic - con international ( which is like being the halftime show at the super bowl , if people watching the super bowl not only cared , but regularly freaked out about the halftime show ) . it almost sounds too good to be true ; in fact , after waiting more than two years for its release , some of us were starting to think it had all been a dream . but now it\u2019s finally here\u2014it\u2019s on vod starting this week , with a theatrical run ongoing .\nproducer wade bradley , who is behind the new cut , is supposedly the man who removed lynch from the film and also fired several other producers . bradley is the man holding the screening tonight which those calling themselves the real knights of badassdom tried to prevent . now they have to sit and wait , hoping their plea to investors and potential buyers is enough to keep it from getting bought or have those buyers demand that lynch be brought back to finish the film . there ' s also hopes that they can raise enough money to finish the visual effects and other post - production elements needed .\nthe first feature film from writer matias caruso , mayhem was directed by joe lynch ( everly , knights of badassdom ) and stars steven yeun ( \u201c the walking dead , \u201d okja ) , samara weaving ( three billboards outside ebbing , missouri , showtime\u2019s \u201c smilf \u201d ) , and steven brand ( \u201c teen wolf , \u201d \u201c secrets and lies \u201d ) . synopsis : derek cho ( steven yeun ) is having a really bad day . after being unjustly fired from his job , \u2026 the post mayhem first official key art ! first appeared on hnn | urltoken 2017 - official horror news site\ngorehounds are , naturally , excited for this ; but as i see it , knights of badassdom is a comedy horror , a genre in which the emphasis falls firmly on the comedy side . there\u2019s room for blood and guts in there , especially when used to humorous effect , but it\u2019s not about the visceral thrills of seeing someone eviscerated \u2014 if that\u2019s your bag , there are plenty of films to cater for it ; is a comedy about role - players really the occasion ? there are elements of the film that could do with tightening up \u2014 the beginning is a little slow , as well as the issues with the middle , and towards the climax it\u2019s sporadically jumpy in a way that makes it clear something has been excised \u2014 but just adding gore is not what this film needs to improve it .\nbut it wasn\u2019t enough to elevate that movie above something mediocre , and that\u2019s if i\u2019m being generous . so there was that critical and commercial failure , which almost definitely fed into the producers losing faith in knights of badassdom . there\u2019s a somewhat similar feel and theme , with weed and monsters and irreverant humor , so perhaps they simply thought that audiences wouldn\u2019t be interested and got scared . they then apparently took it from the director , joe lynch , in order to re - edit it , delaying it significantly . hence , why it was missed by myself and also why mr . lynch has disowned the resulting film . of course , being released on only 13 screens didn\u2019t help , either .\nour fairies are different : one of the in -

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

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

wan\nfor every obvious inclusion , the nominations inspire more than a few fist - pumping moments , and a few head - scratching ones as well . here are this year\u2019s biggest surprises , snubs and here -

sik , the man now with a page in film history thanks to his portrayal of oh dae su in the epic oldboy , plays a boxer who once tasted the glory of the sport , only to drop down thanks to his laziness and carelessness . in the other hand is ryu seung - beom , who plays a young trouble - maker that needs something to focus his raw energy before combusting himself . the guy has his acting skills in place and manages to not let choi min sik over - shadow him . the film follows familiar territory within the genre , but then again , because of the strong cast , and tight and controlled direction , the film never gets preachy or self - indulgent . these guys are not going to become world champions or anything like that , they are just looking for a chance to really start living their lives to the fullest . and that ' s what makes crying fist a fine drama and , unlike most of films dealing with boxing , it never becomes a cheap sentimental - cheering contest with the audience .\nafter the success of the modern - day comic martial arts epic arahan , writer / director ryu seung - wan changed gears and again teamed up with his brother , actor ryu seung - beom , to produce crying fist , a much more serious boxing drama . actor ryu plays yu sang - hwan , a street thug who rejects the life of his hard - working , struggling father for a life of petty crime and run - ins with the law . he winds up in a juvenile detention center , where he responds to some bullying by flying at the bully , roc ( kim su - hyeon ) , and biting his ear off . yu is then taken under the wing of the prison ' s boxing trainer , and he learns a bit of self - discipline through boxing , gradually recognizing his own strengths , and eventually acknowledging the support of his caring family . meanwhile , 40 - year - old kang tae - shik ( choi min - sik of oldboy ) , is a washed up former champion whose home and professional life have completely fallen apart . his wife leaves him , taking their young son . besieged by creditors , kang earns a meager living by charging people on the street for the privilege of punching him out . in danger of losing his son forever , his own health deteriorating rapidly , kang decides to enter one last boxing competition , the same one which the equally desperate yu has chosen to show his mettle . crying fist won a fipresci award at the 2005 cannes film festival , and had its north american premiere at subway cinema ' s 2005 new york asian film festival , with director ryu in attendance . ~ josh ralske , rovi\neach year , the cma awards nominations manage to please the fans of some artists , while confounding others . miranda lambert \u2019s followers , for instance , have a lot to be thankful for , with another record - setting nine nods for the platinum superstar , including a mention \u2014 as the only woman \u2014 in the top category , entertainer of the year . fans of jason aldean and brad paisley , on the other hand , are crying into their moonshine today .\ncrying fist is ryu ' s graduation project , a stepping stone to perhaps greater things to come in the future . all these years spent getting a general idea of how film criticism works in korea , how filmgoers are influenced by it . the needs of both parties , his needs , the expectations of his peers . and , last but not least , his international status , still in a dangerous limbo between arthouse acceptance and ' fanboy ' land . the maturity ryu shows in this project , the newfound stability that makes the film flow perfectly , the fact he ' s been able to strip himself of his influences and create something that even defies the world ' genre ' shows all those hard times were worth something . they were like hard training for an important match , perhaps the most important of his career : finding his voice . now it ' s no more wonderkid , enfant prodige , the korean tarantino or scorsese . . . it ' s just ryu seung - wan . and i think we can all be happy for that .\na korean boxing movie that sticks to the rules of the genre but applies them in a modern narrative way . after a rather hectic beginning , crying fist focuses on the parallel stories of its two protagonists . forty - year - old gang tae - shik was a medallist at the 1990 asian games , but after his family life falls apart he makes a living on the streets allowing frustrated people to punch him as therapy . a young man named yu sang - hwan is a fairly capable and remorseless gangster . he eventually ends up in prison where he is more or less forced into learning how to box . both men have gone quickly downhill , and both seek a way out of their predicaments through boxing and the approaching amateur championship . . . . this rough and tumble movie , featuring a number of bust - ups and brawls and long sequences of training and boxing matches , is rounded out by a melodramatic storyline : the two seemingly incompatible fighters are attached to their families : tae - shik to his son and sang - hwan to his seriously ill grandmother .\n00 . \uc790\uc874\uc744 \uac74 \ub450\ub0a8\uc790\uc758 \ub300\uacb0 ( the existence of two men ' s confrontation ) [ 08 : 53 ] basically a review of the film by the great korean critic kim young - jin . he talks about this film being different from other boxing films , sharing some similarities with clint eastwood ' s million dollar baby . not so much showing the professionalism of boxing , but the fences a lot of normal people find when making decisions that could change their lives . he talks about the misunderstanding about ryu ' s body of work . that he started making the films he wanted to make , the films he wanted to see . that die bad wasn ' t really an action film as a lot of people saw it , that it was more about life on the street , showing the feelings of those people . even watching no blood no tears , he thought that sentiment was even stronger . that his films always have two elements converging together : the action , and the reason why it happens , the mental state of the characters . he feels these two things have been brought to the highest level in crying fist , showing a kind of motivation and energy that is hard to find in korean films . he thinks ryu will continue to do well in the future .\nwhen you think about it , boxing is like life . you work hard for a long time , preparing for the biggest match of your career . there are people helping you get there , teaching you what to do based on their experience . but , ultimately , when you put on the gloves and enter that ring , you ' re by yourself . all you ' ve learned is put to the test , how your body and mind react to the obstacles put in front of you depends on how prepared you are . how many hits you can take before falling down and giving up . boxing , like life , is not about winning , but surviving , until the end ; it doesn ' t matter how you get there , what you do to reach that goal . . . all it matters is being there . being able to say i ' ve done it , i ' m a survivor . and it ' s only then that you can really understand the meaning of winning . ryu seung - wan ' s \uc8fc\uba39\uc774 \uc6b4\ub2e4 ( crying fist ) is a film about the huge boxing ring that is life , where surviving is the only thing that matters . where people who experience the bottom of the barrel are able to survive through fundamental emotions : rage and hope .\nwork is the efficient way in which director kim characterizes his large cast ( all identified by their internet id ' s ) . with eight main characters , and much of the film ' s 86 - minute running time devoted to fight scenes , kim needs to quickly flesh out his heroes to make them distinct and memorable . his success at doing so in the space of a short road trip makes it all the more interesting later when the characters start to pair off against each other . will iron fist , a soft - spoken woman who practices kung fu , get a chance to sink her feet into the obnoxious , trash - talking gangster killer smile ? our disappointment that some potential matchups never materialize only underlines the director ' s skill and passion in assembling this low - budget film .

operative , scottish film companies benefitted from a huge injection of public support from creative scotland and scottish enterprise . though controversial at the time , looking back it was just the boost that the industry needed .\nwe start our film immediately with a battle scene . we don\u2019t want men to not come to this film or feel turned off by this film . the first scene of the movie is barreling down a convoy of military soldiers being taken at gun point , big explosions and all that kind of stuff . when men come to watch the movie , they look at the first couple of scenes , they realize it\u2019s pretty cool .\nand we can . if we bear in mind what has been shared here , play to our strengths by bringing in like - minded collaborators to support our vision , and push ourselves throughout the entire project to the last hurdle , there\u2019s no reason why we can\u2019t create our own virtuous circles of fulfilling project work which leads to paid work of the same nature .\nof course the timing was perfect . the erdf fund for scottish film from 2015 provided a huge extra resource for production funding . following scotland\u2019s decision for extra tax breaks for production in scotland , combined with the attraction of new eis funds , scotland could draw on unprecedented production capital . this was a virtuous circle with the new studio providing the production space and an appetite for a throughput of new projects . joining eurimages in 2016 provided a shot in the arm for co - productions , as producers forged links all over europe .\nbut i remember in the last moments of sound mixing , watching the film with dallas taylor at defacto sound . up until that point , i had not heard the film mixed yet . i remember listening and turning around to dallas ( who was sitting behind me ) every 5 minutes saying \u201cdamn - i ' m really feeling it\u201d . . . in those moments i emotionally connected to the film and its characters in way i hadn ' t yet before .\nthis post was adapted from the new book by cecilia de mille presley and mark a . vieira , cecil b . demille : the art of the hollywood epic ( running press , 416pp , december 16 , 2014 ) . reprinted with the kind permission of the authors and publisher . the photos were taken from the book . for those lucky enough to live in los angeles , ucla is featuring a demille series ( jan . 9 -

they abandon projects at 98 percent .\nanother important element to consider in today is the reference to time . the title of the film is a direct time reference which symbolically implies that today is a depiction of contemporary iran . however , once observed within the context of the film , it addresses a longer duration of time and directly implies the continuation of this condition into the future . it is not surprising that the title credit of today only appears thirty minutes into the film , which in itself reinforces different interpretations of time . the abrupt and delayed appearance of the film title credit also wittily emphasizes the realism of today in its portrayal of everyday chance encounters such as that of younes and sedighe .\na version of this review ran during the tribeca film festival . \u201cvirunga\u201d will be released on netflix this friday along with theatrical bookings in new york and los angeles .\nthe sign of the cross concludes in tragedy , a downbeat ending for a film released in the worst months of the depression , yet it was a huge hit .\ndemille had taken a chance in making the film . would the censor boards slash it to ribbons ? after a few anxious weeks , reports came in to the src . not one board had cut the so -

faith , integrity , wisdom and honor .\nin this film mirkarimi properly reminds us of both the lack of social infrastructure and civil rights to support women ( especially single mothers ) in a patriarchal society , coupled with the unwritten religious law that , paradoxically enough , obligates the very men of the same patriarchal society to become chivalrous in order to support defenseless women . one may argue that today is a film attempting to point out the vulnerability of women and defend those affected in iran .\ni attempt to evoke the sentiment of an entire town . it is a town in which people have grown with resentment to one another . family members abandon each other , soldiers wish to intimidate people , stories of mysterious deaths haunt the town , and an overall feeling of abandonment lures over all the characters . it is a film that seeks to evoke feelings and desires by emphasizing moments of the everyday . my concern in constructing such a film is to understand and ultimately to evoke the experience of the everyday within this environment , and to convey through film \u2013albeit a visual medium - a physical sense of feelings , place , and culture\n. n . p .\nfriday , october 10 8 : 00pm : invasion of the body snatchers ( 1956 ) film synopsis : a small - town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates . 9 : 25pm : it came from outer space ( 1953 ) film synopsis : a spaceship from another world crashes in the arizona desert , and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strange .\n\u201cdemille visualized nero as the menace in the film , \u201d said elsa lanchester , laughton\u2019s wife . \u201ccharles thought him merely funny . demille was shocked by the idea . he had old -

defined plan , which does not prevent the occurrence of a misfortune which becomes the central event of the film , its moment of splendour . the final shots of the rain are beautiful and quite literally to be admired ; black and white seem to combine mysteriously into a colour whose name escapes us , lying outside the scheme we use to label the colours and which links them to objects and phenomena .\nbutts county fire chief mike wilson and assistant chief randy prince both have roles as emts in the film , and during friday\u2019s filming , both sheriff gary long and chief deputy arthur white had non - speaking roles during the military briefing scene .\nin order to situate the invisible discourse of power in the role of interviewer . he creates his own system of film and , in order to change the focus of his argument , pereda takes on a new theme to portray : politics .\nthe film never tells us anything about what sedighe has been through but her helpless condition and frightened , trembling voice ( in a gripping performance by soheila golestani ) tells a lot about the tyranny that she has endured . younes , a middle - aged taxi driver and man of few words ( vaguely reminiscent of martin scorsese\u2019s 1976 film taxi driver ) , decides in an apparently chivalric move to play the role of the child\u2019s father when the hospital authorities need to know who that is .\nall of that makes the film almost critically unassailable . to cast any doubts over its quality , and therefore potentially put off viewers from seeing it for themselves , would almost be tantamount to kicking the prosthetic leg out from under a wounded veteran .\nthe advertising campaign for the sign of the cross gave the impression that paramount pictures was having a gay old time . this film was the first in hollywood history to feature homosexual characters in its ads ; they were painted by dan sayre groesbeck .\nwe should guess from younes\u2019 lack of interest in engaging in any sort of dialogue ( except for brief exchanges with sedighe ) that , for whatever reason , he is secretly frustrated . in today , silence seems to also be a critical means of allowing the film to revive the spiritualism that is associated with it . in a film where either people speak when they want to judge others or like sedighe who speaks out of helplessness , the taxi driver\u2019s denial of speech seems to function at deeper levels .\ntoday is not an entertaining film in any conventional sense but it poses a range of crucial questions to more politically conscious viewers . why does the taxi driver , in spite of being negatively judged by the hospital staff , never stop supporting the pregnant woman ? did he make a plan to adopt ( or steal ) the child after the death of the mother ? or did he act virtuously because of his religious beliefs ? the film never directly answers these questions and leaves them open to the audience\u2019s judgement .\nfriday , october 3 8 : 00pm : dr . jekyll & mr . hyde ( 1932 ) film synopsis : dr . jekyll faces horrible consequences when he lets his dark side run wild with a potion that changes him into the animalistic mr . hyde . 9 : 40pm : the creature from the black lagoon ( 1954 ) film synopsis : a strange prehistoric beast lurks in the depths of the amazonian jungle . a group of scientists try to capture the animal and bring it back to civilization for study .\nthat takes the edge off a lot more when you ' re with a group of people that are all like -

concept movie boyhood , in which ellar coltrane is made to age convincingly from child to man by the drastic decision to film him over 12 years . linklater\u2019s film seems to have outwitted the enemy , containing and controlling the poignancy of the passage of time , but that is just how it looks now . there is no inoculation against mortality on film , except , strangely , tragic early death . if coltrane is spared that , then one day soon he will be snapped unshaven and with bags under his eyes , and then he will be all over the media world , the shaming image appearing alongside the dewiest frame of him from boyhood .\nafter making several films with the same actors playing similar roles i decided to make a film about the process of representation . this opened a world of new possibilities including rehearsals , repetitions and interactions between fictional characters and the actors playing those characters . i continued this search by replacing one of the actors with my uncle half way into the shooting . my uncle enters the film as a documentary subject who has to relate to fictional characters that act as if he was one of them .\nn . p .\nthere were angry comments from other protestant writers , but most of the condemnation was catholic . \u201cthis film , with its sadistic cruelty , its playing up of roman lust and debauchery and crime , is intolerable , \u201d wrote demille\u2019s adviser , father lord . cleveland bishop joseph schrembs called the film a \u201cdamnable hypocrisy . \u201d jesuit america magazine called joyzelle\u2019s dance \u201cthe most un\u00adpleasant bit of footage ever passed by the hollywood censors . \u201d catholic publisher martin quigley wrote : \u201cthis scene be\u00adcomes an incident liable to an evil audience effect . \u201d\n, seems to be something very different . the director himself stated that this film aimed to offer an alternative take to the traditional \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d view . in this way , he sought to justify the significant number of long shots , which he thought were more appropriate for a \u201cbehind the scenes view\u201d , although his own film , truth be told , actually consists of some scenes in which the well - know actress , activist , performer and writer , jesusa rodr\u00edguez , appears as sister juana in\u00e9s de la cruz in the play\nafter watching mirkarimi\u2019s film , viewers are left with one critical and unsettling question : will this child live in the same nightmare in which his or her mother lived or will he or she live in a better world ? mirkarimi never gives a specific answer to this question but the vivid image of the child at the end of today might easily be seen as a symbol of hope resting at the heart of the film \u2013a solitary image of a figure that , with the forces of its universal implications , could continue to haunt any viewer\u2019s mind .\nthis film follows the lives of 11 women , beginning in the battlefields of afghanistan and going to small town georgia . it looks at women who are at different stages of their lives , whether a college student , a soldier , a single mother or a professional woman nearing retirement .\nstarts with the slow movement of an old woman . singing as she inches forward , she goes from the living room to her bed . pereda then decides to radically exclude her from the screen until virtually the very end of the film , when her presence will cause a disturbance for the two main characters , living on the outskirts of mexico city . between the beginning and the ritual and ceremonial journey with which the film closes , pereda focuses on a young man named gabino ( gabino rodr\u00edguez , his regular muse who appears in all his films ) and his mother .\npereda\u2019s stories have focused on family issues , but now a new theme can be glimpsed : the asymmetry of social ties and the discontent they cause . the interview , the film - maker\u2019s preferred format with which to examine what is not shown in the shot , is the format chosen in\ncelebrity has become an incurable condition , without remission . i can almost find it in my heart to sympathise with film stars who ban eye contact on set , or from their staff . fame is a treadmill , and having your own gym does not seem to make the legwork any easier .\nin the conversation between younes and sedighe in the labour room , younes acknowledges that \u201cfor years , he wished to wait behind a labour door , \u201d which implies that he had not been able to have a child with his wife . therefore , his apparently virtuous act of stealing or adopting the child is more of a sketch in nature . the irony of the situation lies in the fact that in an oppressive patriarchal society such as iran , it is still a man ( the father ) who will finally resolve the crisis and twist the plot at the price of the denial and death of the mother . in light of all this , one cannot decide whether _ today _ \u2019s ending is optimistic or dark . in fact , no one knows the future of the child .\nbuilding on film\u2019s position as being both cultural and industrial , ips developed a collaborative and co - operative plan that was known variously as film\u2019s common weal , and by the tag ipso facto \u2013 the very fact of it existing meant that it did good for all . the pooling of resources meant that any company of scale was able to draw upon legal , business and creative development support while freeing producers to do what they should be doing \u2013 produce . and the companies involved \u2013 ranging from low budget to high , fiction to documentary and animation \u2013 benefitted from their joint knowledge , drawing on each others experience and expertise .\nrepetition is a characteristic pattern of the film ( as it is in all pereda\u2019s cinema ) ; also , how to represent the events ( both dramatically and politically ) as an intellectual exercise is a dilemma to resolve ; the discontinuity and the continuity between the different points in history is a source of pragmatic curiosity .\nfilm stars , offering themselves as screens on to which audiences can project their fantasies , cannot expect to control the process , except in the most indirect way . a shrewd film star is both a work of art and its curator . the supreme practitioner in this line must be marlene dietrich \u2013 when you hired her , you got her lighting man , too , so that she retained full control over the product . alongside the erotic mystique , she had a strong hausfrau side , which did not show up on film , but she certainly kept her glamour swept and dusted . that professionalism extended to her home , where she received visitors in a chair placed under a spotlight , with a silver stripe painted down her nose to correct the proportions that did not meet her standards . without any such crude mechanisms , cary grant maintained an astonishingly consistent persona over the decades , defending his narrow range ( stylised ease , controlling suavity ) against any possible challenge .\nbut rather than taking its value for granted , von einsiedel gives us something to root for in the form of andre bauman , the serene gorilla caretaker whose father was killed in the civil war , along with the genial animals\u2014most of whom lost their parents in poaching incidents\u2014that thrive under his care . bauman\u2019s virtuous efforts form a striking contrast with ongoing attempts to soco representatives to blackmail members of the park\u2019s authorities , several of which are caught on camera . ( in one incident , a soco employee outright tells the clandestine videographer that \u201cwe\u2019re buying you , \u201d offering him the paltry sum of $ 3 , 000 to do their bidding . ) to scrutinize these shady dealings , von einsiedel finds freelance french journalist melanie goubie forcing her way into this ongoing battle as she charms the corporate schemers while using their information against them .\nin what was surely a first in the annals of motion - picture marketing , an early ad for \u201c left behind \u201d featured a quote taken not from a film critic , but rather from satan himself , who allegedly quipped , \u201cplease do not bring unbelievers to this movie . \u201d this presents a rare scenario in which christian moviegoers ought to feel perfectly secure heeding the advice of the devil , as this faith - based thriller is likely to inspire far more dorm - room drinking games than religious conversions . with a \u201csharknado\u201d - inspired visual style and a deeply weary lead performance from nicolas cage , \u201c left behind \u201d is cheap - looking , overwrought kitsch of the most unintentionally hilarious order , its eschatological bent representing its only real shot at box office redemption . the film hits theaters this weekend , but as for when believers can expect to see the tenets of their faith reflected with any sort of sophistication or intelligence in a mainstream genre film , we still know neither the day nor the hour .\ni feel that feeling of inadequacy all the time . i feel it when i share the script with close friends , i feel it when i talk to the actors the first time , i feel it the first day on set , and during the first assembly ( cut ) of the film . i keep feeling that up until the last cut of the film just after sound design and grade . up until that point , i think the project could be the worst thing i have ever done - literally - no lies . i even said to dan just before thanksgiving ,\nmaybe we shouldn ' t release this . . . i don ' t know if its any good .\ntoday lacks the \u201ccool effect\u201d that one might usually find in contemporary hollywood films . instead , as a work of world cinema with subtle use of the realistic mise - en - sc\u00e8ne at which iranian neorealist cineastes excel , the elements found in this film can be seen as producing psychological effects of melancholy while having the spiritual impulses of undecided hope .\ni was so stoked to see this post this morning . i ' ve been following his work for over a year now and this film speaks so much to the heart of his talent . he is behind much of the film and production for hillsong church , and i think for him this is just the beginning . salomon is inspiring many folks working in the faith - based media world to challenge ourselves to think broader and bigger on how the gospel of jesus can be told . take the time to peruse his vimeo account . the most recent promo trailer shot for hillsong conference 2015 ( speak we ' re listening ) is breathtaking . so proud of him and his team . anamoly is incredible .\nin what was surely a first in the annals of motion - picture marketing , an early ad for \u201cleft behind\u201d featured a quote taken not from a film critic , but rather from satan himself , who allegedly quipped , \u201cplease do not bring unbelievers to this movie . \u201d this presents a rare scenario in which christian moviegoers ought to feel [ \u2026 ]\ni aimed to create a poetic film that merged fiction and documentary . my intention was to make a film where the person on the screen could be at once the actor and the character . it is never clear what occurs in the world of fiction and what in the world of documentary . perhaps , a better explanation could be that at every moment , in every frame , there are elements of fiction and of documentary . i believe this to be a very interesting approach because it creates a sort of awareness that neither forms of filmmaking are closer to reality , they simply are a point of view on reality , and at the same time , a particular reality of their own .\nn . p .\nwhat nicol\u00e1s pereda\u2019s next films be like ? will they be westerns ? will he film discontent from a more political point of view ? will he shoot science fiction ? after a first exceptional stage in his career , he seems to be heading towards other areas . repetition and differentiation . a logical step for him to take was to collaborate on his last film with ' another ' . the other is the one who points out and calls our attention to differences . what is to come will be straightforward and yet also a crossroads . it will concern some kind of invention , or rather something which another pereda has found within pereda himself , something which will then be repeated with all the new issues contained in nicol\u00e1s pereda\u2019s films .\nhe has had the advantage of a late start , though it can hardly have seemed like an advantage at the time . there were plenty of male stars from hollywood\u2019s classic period who could not easily be imagined young , among them the ones who most seem to symbolise integrity : humphrey bogart and spencer tracy . a young actor can embody idealism easily enough ( james spader , say , in sex , lies and videotape , stephen soderbergh\u2019s 1989 drama of fetishism and repression ) but integrity is something that needs to have been tested over time , if not actually by time . for actors such as bogart and tracy ( plus james cagney and edward g robinson , though less reliably virtuous ) , their heyday was middle age . wrinkles formed part of their appeal , rather than undermining it . maturity was their present tense , and they had no visual history , lacking facebook pages to plunder their own lives and archive the mistakes of adolescence .\ndemille was very lucky to have leisen . if leisen had been only a superb art director , or a skilled costume designer , or a gifted assistant director , he would have been a precious asset . to have all three in one person was nothing short of miraculous , and a miracle was what demille needed . while demille was checking the construction of the arena , leisen blocked the scene in which marcus follows mercia to a well of pure water and flirts with her as she tries to go up a stone stairway . leisen designed the scene so that when marcus gains an advantage over mercia , he is above her on the stairs , but when she regains control , she is above him . leisen thus isolated the plot point : the christian girl realizes that a roman can be sexy ; the dissolute roman realizes that a virtuous girl can be powerful . when demille returned to the set , he shot the scene as leisen had choreographed it .\nthe pool of writers available to producers had expanded greatly not only through the increased training courses dedicated to script production , but also thanks to the swinney charter , which meant that any creative writer living and working in scotland lived tax free provided that at least 50 % of their work was on qualifying scottish productions \u2013 whether books , poetry , television or , crucially , film .\nchristian reisner , a methodist episcopal minister and the author of god\u2019s power for me , attacked the film . \u201cit is repellant and nauseating to every thinking christian , \u201d he wrote . \u201cit endeavors to get a lot of lewd scenes and sex - appeal exhibitions on the screen and then dresses the whole with a cheap and unhistorical hodge - podge of incidents from sacred christian martyrdom . \u201d"]}

a music - driven film \u2013 it even claims to be the first shazam and soundhound compatible film \u2013 and the mixtape award - nominated soundtrack features rappers squingy , ex , lefty and k koke amongst many others .\nfeaturing a stellar line - up of british stars including ashley walters , wil johnson and joseph marcell , fedz tells the story of renegade london cop \u2018mike jones\u2019 . suspecting corruption in the police force , jones resigns and becomes a ticking time bomb as his old teammates hunt him down . in an attempt to redeem himself , he works hard to try and solve the case of a virus that has been released by a terrorist group .\nthat the named talent of ashley walters ( top boy ) , dexter fletcher ( lock , stock and two smoking barrels ) and wil johnson ( waking the dead ) weren\u2019t present is a shame , but they really only play bit parts in the film and their presence would have stolen some of the thunder from those who deserve it most . this is a night for the as - yet unknown actors of fedz to take centre stage .\n\u201cthe opportunities are there , so there is no point complaining . i refuse to be left behind , so i set up my own channel to stream fedz , and i made it as cheap as possible , at just 66p . i decided to stream my film because i believe this is where the audiences will be going in the next year or two . and i would rather be there waiting for them , than trying to play catch up . \u201d\nvery much the embodiment of dexy\u2019s famed \u201cteams who meet in caffs\u201d , the gestation of the fedz has developed at its own pace . no teasing , no tweeting , no mention of the name\u2026 . until the music is ready . the fact that they had a london hub to call their own , a warren of small rooms on an industrial estate in acton , a place where members could make music day and night without the pressure of deadlines or commercial constraints , has led to some remarkable music being created , often during sessions lasting all day and night .\nfedz , is a british film with a host of familiar faces including that of dexter fletcher , best known for his role in lock , stock and two smoking barrels and even joseph marcell , who , for anyone a fan of the fresh prince of bell air , will recognise him as geoffrey the butler . set in london , the story follows a renegade cop , who , after having his doubts about the force and suspected corruption , resigns and spends his time trying to right the wrongs by investigating a terrorist group who have released a virus on the city .\nwithout even trying to , this is music which carries many of the ideals of punk and post punk , a time when people made music because they needed to , and when exploration , inventiveness and egalitarianism were qualities which soon became the norm . that the march of time , economics and technology have spun the world on a faster axis need not mean that true collaboration , conjoining the roots of our soulful past with the present and the future , needs to be bought in by the biggest record company or the highest bidder . at the heart of the fedz is a purity of spirit and intent which means that anything they do will be done because it intrinsically feels right . because it needs to be done .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nbritish film director q says that black people in britain are

. \u201d\n\u201cmy white contemporaries\u2019 audiences come out and support their films . but black uk audiences seem to be comatose . they are sitting in front of the tv not seeing themselves , but

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

came along and the tv corporations quickly realised they\u2019d lose audiences if they didn\u2019t keep up , so the bbc , itv and channel 4 developed their own players to stream their content . \u201d\nhe continues : \u201cstreaming has become so natural now , with people watching and streaming music videos , films and other media on their smart phones and tablets , often without even knowing they are doing it . have you seen how big some of the [ smart phone ] screens are getting ? have you noticed all the mobile companies are talking about 4g connections when you upgrade your phone ? it allows videos and films to be streamed faster to your phone or tablet . \u201d\nin addition , q says that having the ability to set up internet channels means that black brits with content to share can side - step the often heard issue of the mainstream showing little support to black - interest productions .\n\u201cso many people have mobile phones , so now , there are many ways we can all join in and make money in this growing industry . jamie oliver has his own food tube channel on youtube \u2013 why has no black chef done the same ?\n\u201cyou can\u2019t say technology is racist when you look at media entrepreneurs like [ sb . tv founder ] jamal edwards and [ youtube stars ] mandem on the wall ; companies like grm daily and link up tv ; and shows like meet the adebanjos \u2013 all of which enjoy success online . \u201d\nwith this thinking , it\u2019s perhaps not surprising that q doesn\u2019t see himself as being at a disadvantage as a black british filmmaker , compared to his non - black counterparts . in fact , he feels that the issue to focus on is not the lack of support from the film industry , but the lack of support from black audiences .\n\u201ci am a realist , \u201d he says . \u201ci don\u2019t expect anything from this society , not even from my own black people . this is not america . black people in the uk did not go through the civil rights movement or apartheid . the pain that black people in america and africa went through got them to where they are now . black brits haven\u2019t faced anything like that .\n\u201cit is normal for the industry to fund their own people ; people that look like them , because they want to see themselves on the screen . the biggest challenge we face is the black audience \u2013 they don\u2019t support their own filmmakers and that is more of a challenge . my white contemporaries have their audiences come out and support their films , but black british audiences seem to be comatose . they are sitting in front of the tv not seeing themselves , but they keep watching . why ? \u201d\nhe adds : \u201cif we support our industry like african people support nollywood , then we will get there . black brits have a lot to learn from nollywood and the way they market and promote their films in the uk . \u201d\n\u201ci\u2019m currently working on creating a distribution portal , \u201d he reveals . \u201cwith the advent of social media , the demise of hmv , and blockbuster being bought out of administration , it means cinema and the film business as a whole is changing . we can jump into that space and that is what i am doing .\n\u201ci also have a business called top dog agency , which does all the things i want to do , like discovering and developing new acting talent , and shooting and producing music promos , shorts and commercials . there is always something to do \u2013 i\u2019m never bored . \u201d\nthe collaboration has seen this wealth of talent release a string

imaginings of what the word \u201czombie\u201d might be taken to mean , and it\u2019s a film that i respect immensely for taking the hard road . zombie fans ( and horror fans in general ) are a fickle bunch\u2014we want things we haven\u2019t seen before , but we also want our films to reflect everything in the history of the genre , which is a near - impossible task . pontypool doesn\u2019t bother at all with zombie convention . rather , its antagonists , which are never called \u201czombies\u201d and are occasionally referred to as \u201cconversationalists\u201d by director bruce mcdonald , are a criticism of 21st century humanity\u2019s inability to truly connect and discuss pertinent , truly significant issues . there is indeed a \u201czombie virus\u201d here , but it\u2019s not transmitted through bites or blood , but by ideas , by the very english language , which has become so watered down with pleasantries and insincerity that it\u2019s taken on a destructive life of its own . the film ultimately contains all of the gore and violence you would expect from a great indie zombie film , simply delivered in a unique way , with a distinctly new message . it\u2019s a truly postmodern zombie film and deeply dissatisfied jab at society itself .\n\u201crange 15\u201d gets its name from two veteran - owned apparel companies . palmisciano is ceo of ranger up . the film\u2019s co - producer mat best is ceo of article 15 .\n, but if puck wants to call them that , then fine . notable is that , unlike many works featuring a zombie apocalypse , the characters here are successful in pulling off their long - term plan for survival , thus avoiding a\nblockbuster . the film\u2019s main point of interest is its sheer budget and scale , which one rarely sees in modern zombie films , and that does provide a certain amount of novelty and value . if you were able to simply change the title to something other than\nbadassity ensues . about their only real weakness is that they possess the zombie gait .\nthe spider cliff mysteries : spider cliff has the occasional zombie attack , which are all quickly contained offscreen . except for annabelle , the intelligent , intact , friendly zombie .\nkohala coast , hawai\u2018i island\u2014now in its eleventh year , big island film festival ( biff ) has announced its 58 official selections , to be screened may 26 -

infected people , they never attack other zombies . whether they ' ll attack animals other than humans varies , but it ' s rare for the virus to affect other species , probably because it ' s cheaper and easier to film humans in make - up than to work with animals , whether trained , animatronic , or cgi .\ntakes the zombie apocalypse and turns it on its head : people are rising again as the undead , yes , but the undead are intelligent , mostly want to be left alone , and are generally in more danger from the living than vice versa .\naccording to creators , while playing with the ai for counter - strike : condition zero , they discovered that playing an outnumbered team of bots with knives only served as a makeshift zombie apocalypse scenario . this led to the creation of left 4 dead .\nan episode of my babysitters a vampire has everyone being turned into zombie by mutated coffee .\nthe scourge forces also expand on the standard reanimation of dead corpses due to there being a number of necromancers deliberately creating more dangerous undead , leading to zombie giants , giant zombie dogs , zombie dragons , and huge constructs made from combining the flesh of women and children .\nloud , repellent , badly written , indifferently directed and almost completely devoid of any genuine laughs ,\nscouts guide to the zombie apocalypse\nis essentially a film for 12 - year - old boys who can still derive some kind of basic entertainment from the mere sight of spurting blood or a bare breast , all the better if they can appear at the same time . for everyone else , it is little more than disposable junk that will only make you appreciate the achievements of the likes of\nshaun of the dead\nand\nzombieland\neven more . by the way , if you have been locked on the notion of zombie strippers since i mentioned it earlier and have wondered why they didn ' t make a movie about that , you should know that there is indeed a film along those lines by the name of , no surprise ,\nzombie strippers\n( 2008 ) . put it this way\u2014it may not be better than\nscouts guide to the zombie apocalypse\nbut when all is said and done , it is not demonstrably worse either .\nthe author of the article , dan drezner of the fletcher school for diplomacy ( aka the best foreign affairs school in america ) , has published a monograph called theories of international relations and zombies . it covers the major paradigms of ir theory and the\ncorpus\nof zombie literature and film . it ' s an excellent introductory text to ir theory for beginners , and the results show that while a zombie apocalypse would suck , it ' s unlikely to be the end of humanity . it ' s also really damned funny .\nto deal with the decline in independent film the makers turned to urltoken \u2013 an online platform which ensures there is an audience for films by allowing fans to request screenings at their nearest cinema .\nmythica : szorlok unleashes this on the world in the last film , raising all of the dead and then sending them out to kill the living , who become more undead soldiers for him .\nin expedition z the zombie apocalypse ( aka the fall ) happened 20 years ago that at this point the main character ' s father points out there shouldn ' t be any zombies out in the wild after having starved to death about 7 years ago .\nthe party also featured smoke machines , a zombie photo booth and a special zombie -

like the film was dreamed up by a bunch of tired , wired 13 - year - olds ; it has their insistence but little of their invention .\nthe militaries are useless trope is a must in such a movie to avoid the film ending in five minutes . if they are actually competent , they ' ll just also happen to be evil .\nhere\u2019s a film truism that everyone can agree upon : george romero\u2019s 1968 night of the living dead is probably the most influential and important \u201czombie film\u201d of all time . it codified an entirely new meaning for the term , which is ironic , given that the word \u201czombie\u201d never actually appears in the movie , where the creatures are typically referred to as \u201cghouls . \u201d but regardless , notld catapulted the americanized idea of \u201czombies\u201d past their haitian voodoo origins and into the cultural consciousness as dead bodies come back to life or otherwise reanimated , who fed upon the living . few films in any genre can claim to be so influential . but is it the best zombie movie of all time ?\na team of soldiers who are assembled to help end a zombie outbreak in a romanian town .\nrated r for zombie violence and gore , sexual material , graphic nudity , and language throughout .\nsimilarly , cell , another king zombie novel , has people turned into zombies by cell phones .\nthe\ninfectious zombie\ntemplate was provided in the 4th -

fulfillment fantasy . apocalypse stories let us revel in the idea of replacing all the burdens of modern society with simpler , more visceral problems , like avoiding zombie bites or fighting off road - warrior gangs . but most apocalypses keep the survivors pretty busy . for every quiet apocalypse film like on the beach , there are dozens of manic ones like 28 days later or 2012 , where the world comes apart abruptly and explosively , and the protagonists are constantly on the run for their lives . it\u2019s rare to see an apocalypse movie like the gentle indie science fiction drama bokeh , where the threats are minimal and abstract , and the characters mostly have to worry about how to spend their time after the world ends . the lack of physical crisis leaves room for emotional crisis , though , and a lot of time for bokeh \u2019s characters to ask the big philosophical and religious questions about what an apocalypse really means .\nnot always right ' s sister site not always romantic features several stories involving people asking their significant other what they ' d do if they were turned into a zombie . they ' re all titled\ntill undeath do us part , part x .\nthe other not always sites posted stories taking place during a zombie apocalypse for april fool ' s day 2015 .\nsubverted in that is all ; the zombie apocalypse is one of the few things that doesn ' t occur during the ragnarok of 2012 . the only creatures that rise from the dead are taxidermied animals , and they are harmless because they are all mounted on wooden planks .\nthe x -

level programming courses , i use project based learning approach to teach . in other words , i work on a series of real - world scenario based problems . after discussing each problem in high level , i expect the students to code along with me in the class . i strongly encourage all my students to bring a laptop to get the max out of my classes . my exams will contain a series of problems as well . few of those problems will be similar to the problems covered in the class or in assignments . i do not use multiple choice questions in the exam & i do not ask for any definitions either . since i focus on the big picture and problem solving skills , i encourage the students to review the book closely to get the complete details . be ready to keep up with the course by doing weekly homework ! if you are curious about how things work , not afraid to try , sincere in attending classes & willing to interact with me , you will do very well in my class ! !\nthis center is responsible for planning and conducting all outreach events for the department of computer science . we have conducted events for everyone : kindergarten kids to high school students , college students , school teachers , adults & working professionals . you can keep up with the latest updates by liking us on\n\u0094 . we will send periodic updates ( approximately one message every 2 weeks or so ) to this email list .\nterrible teaching skills . i ' ve never had a more horrible experience at utd than with him . very thick accent , no actual lectures , and tests are ridiculously hard . good guy though , i won ' t lie . he is very accessible outside of class but that won ' t help you if you haven ' t already spent 10 + years learning java .\nhe ' s a great professor , i took him for my intro class as i didn ' t know c + + but knew had to code because of my experience with java . his style of teaching is unique but that doesn ' t mean that it ' s bad but you need to be on top of the material if you ' re not familiar with coding . overall it may be a painful experience but will definitely prepare you .\nis always willing to help and really easy to talk to . i took him my first semester and he made me understand coding ! i really enjoy how we program in class to learn , that way we know how to do it when we have homework . also enjoy that his tests are actual coding like the homework . i prefer doing code then answering questions about it .\na great teacher ! i had never taken cs before , but his cs 1336 class prepared me really well . he goes through examples somewhat fast , but if you ask a question he will make sure you understand it completely before moving on . his 1st exam might be a bit confusing because of the format , but it is not very difficult ! would take him again !\nnot impossible to pass , but you have to put the work in . if he were teaching a language , he ' d teach you words , but not the alphabet ( if that makes sense ) . he ' s a good person though , and will respond to your emails should you send him any . he expects you to know more than you do , but will make up for it by helping you if you reach out to him first .\nlectures are him rambling on about the topic . if you learn by example instead of actual lecture this might be the class for you . goes at a very fast pace and he knows this . if you ' ve done cs before you should be fine however if you haven ' t i don ' t recommend .\ndifficult but not impossible . crams a lot into each lecture and goes on tangents on topics that don ' t necessarily relate to what the problem is but helpful for general cs knowledge . homework is hard , tests less so but still requires lots of work .\nvery friendly and is willing to work with you outside of class . class itself is hard because he crams a lot into each lesson , also he has a thick accent . homework assignments are really confusing at times . tests are less confusing , but are less related to what he teaches in class and more related to the review questions he gives , so do those .\nhe teaches by guiding the class through a different cs problem every class . he will randomly introduce new topics that are sometimes irrelevant but overall you get a good understanding of intro cs topics . he moves very fast but he is accessible outside of class and a very friendly person . tests are very tough and thorough , so study everything .\nslowly throughout the year , people will be dropping out until it goes from a full room to a handful of classmates . i knew someone who switched majors because of this professor ' s hard - to - follow teaching . he expects you to know more than you ' ve been taught .\nreally cool guy , but had a heavy accent and moved very fast , if you don ' t already know what you ' re doing you ' ll get behind and fall in a deep hole .\nthe worst class of my entire undergraduate career . not only are his teaching skills weak to horrible , but he acts as if everyone already knows this stuff . on top of the fact that his homework assignments are plain confusing and the tests are so hard , his accent makes it near impossible to understand a single word he says . do not choose this prof\nhe always , always , always responds to emails immediately , and will answer any questions you have about teh assignment . he ' s a good teacher in that he knows what he ' s doing , and his class is something you can participate in because you work through lessons as a class with him . the tests , though ? they aren ' t over the material in class .\nthis professor clearly enjoys teaching , but he does not do it well . his lectures are confusing and he tries to cram 28 chapters of material from 2 books in 1 semester . there are 2 tests with 5 free response questions on each test . it ' s a gamble of whether you thoroughly study the material you ' ll be tested over . i do not recommend this professor .\nit was an easy a + for me and i made a 100 on all of his exams , but that ' s only because i knew i was doing . if you don ' t , good luck with him - - - you ' ll definitely need it .\ntwo in one class that is you are learning unix and c + + at the same time so expect a lot of work . weekly discussions and activity are easy points . 2 projects are hard , 3 of them are okay . tests has bonuses which makes up for the no curving policy . professor also helpful in office hours . all internship getter material so pay attention !\nif jey took his own course , he would probably fail . many of us are straight a students , yet struggle in his class . he needs to curve grades in order to make up for his faults . thick accent , bad videos , regular tangents , projects due on exam dates . the average a student cannot overcome these without a curve . plz curve or quit . this class is horrible !\neveryone knows you are going to have good & bad ; professors . jey is a bad one . his videos are not efficient , i . e a video will be labeled exceptions but he somehow ends up talking about pointers and linux commands . he has a phd in c . s . , but almost no teaching skills whatsoever . while he is competent in the material , jey failed to pass on the material .\nrude professor . doesn ' t post exam solutions . i have emailed him 3 times to do so . little does he know i have been copying these to our associate dean . when 90 % of the class thinks the professor is worthless , action needs to be taken . his videos are poorly done . he goes on tangents , it defeats the purpose of online course . plz quit or get fired soon\nhe is the worst . i hate his voice , god his lectures are the worst . i also hate when he is writing on his stupid pad thing and you can hear it in his lectures , its like nails on a chalk board for me . please quit teaching professor .\nby clicking the ' submit ' button , i acknowledge that i have read and agreed to the rate my professors site guidelines , terms of use and privacy policy . submitted data becomes the property of ratemyprofessors . com . ip addresses are logged .\ntough grader gives good feedback respected get ready to read participation matters skip class ? you won ' t pass . lots of homework inspirational beware of pop quizzes accessible outside class so many papers clear grading criteria hilarious test heavy graded by few things amazing lectures caring extra credit group projects lecture heavy\n\u00a92018 urltoken llc . all rights reserved . powered by mtvu . mtvu is a trademark of viacom international inc .\nthank you for submitting your note . it may take up to a minute to be displayed on the site .\nads can be annoying , but they allow us to provide you this resource for free . if you use an ad blocker , we ' re not getting that revenue that helps keep urltoken up and running .\nhelp guide your fellow classmates by giving them the inside scoop ! they ' ll do the same for you . hope you had a good semester . we ' re all counting on you .\nyour note has been deleted . it may take up to a minute to process .\nare you sure you want to delete this note ? once deleted , we can ' t bring it back .\nyou may be trying to access this site from a secured browser on the server . please enable scripts and reload this page .\nit looks like your browser does not have javascript enabled . please turn on javascript and try again .\npatient comments are gathered from our press ganey satisfaction survey and are displayed in their entirety . patients are de -

bitingly exciting as late night poker , because it demonstrates decision - making , with stakes .\ncady\u2019s been homeschooled her whole life , which makes her a perfect \u201cblank slate\u201d character to explore social reality with . what is\nnormal\nto us is strange and foreign to her .\nshe has no preconceived notions of how people behave or ought to behave in cliques and groups . she\u2019s \u201cfresh\u201d , almost alien .\nwe relate to her immediately . we all know what it ' s like to be thrust into an environment where we don ' t know the rules .\nthe first thing that happens when she shows up at school is\u2026 overwhelming chaos . she\u2019s unable to make sense of the elaborate , cascading complexity that are high - school social relations .\nfish out of water , alien visits earth , you name the trope . we all sympathize with a character like this , and more importantly , she allows us to reveal and acknowledge the unique characteristics of our habitat .\nshe\u2019s unaware of all the unspoken rules , and takes appearances to be reality .\n\u201c seeing is believing \u201d is a natural human tendency , and we all know what it\u2019s like to play by one set of rules before discovering that there\u2019s a second , unspoken set of rules that actually govern the game .\nthis is standard operating protocol . it happens to the new girl in prison in orange is the new black , it happens to each new employee that shows up in the office .\ngroups need to sniff new individuals out to see where they ought to stand in the heirarchy . a social group typically has a clearly defined alpha and omega , and everything in between is largely illegible .\nthe alpha group in mean girls are the plastics , while the omega are janis and damien - the suspected lesbian and the fat gay boy . both relatively unattractive , relatively unremarkable . the asians , etc are the in - between groups . insignificant in the grand scheme of things .\nthe omegas ( janis and damien ) are the likeliest group to take cady in from the start .\nthey have nothing to fear from her presence , because they have nothing to lose . the movie could actually have ended here - cady becomes friends with janis and damien and they live happily ever after , hanging out together , mocking the hallowed plastics from a distance .\nif cady were unattractive , she would happily join the math club , stay friends with janis and damien , and everything would go happily - ever - after . it would be a sitcom , and probably quite an amusing one .\nthis is absolutely central to the plot . attractiveness is the social currency in the darwinian environment of north shore high . it isn\u2019t a coincidence that the plastics invited cady to sit at the table with them . they effectively ' talent - scouted ' her .\nthis is a classic shit test from regina . she\u2019s basically trying to suss out exactly how socially intelligent cady is . is she cunning like regina , naive like gretchen , or plain stupid like karen ?\nregina noticed cady for the potential threat that she was . if the plastics subsume her into the group ( keep your enemies close ! ) , they can control her .\nif she were left as a free agent , she would earn the attention of the attractive boys ( aaron , for instance ) , and she would threaten the alpha status of regina and the plastics . she would delegitimize them .\ncady alludes to this when describing how she found herself desiring alpha regina\u2019s approval despite hating her . ( this is a very common trope . i ' m reminded of the toxic relationship between cathy and heathcliff in wuthering heights , and well , abusive relationships everywhere . people get drawn to power even if it burns them . )\ngretchen too chooses to be miserable within the plastics rather than leave it , because the plastics as a collective are the alpha group . better to be the bottom - feeder in the best group than to be outside of it .\nthe plastics maintain their alpha status through attention , by being sexually desired by everybody else . they ' re effectively the\ntip of the spear\n, desired and envied and loathed by everyone .\nregina george\u2019s character was partly inspired by alec baldwin ' s character in glengarry glen ross , a super - alpha , manipulative wall - street hotshot .\nshe ' s attractive , and more importantly , she ' s the most socially intelligent . that ' s what gives her the power to manipulate others so well . she understands people ' s fears and insecurities . she\u2019s also rich , and she drives\u2013 all of which are assets that she can leverage .\n\u201cwalk home , bitches , \u201d she goes , when her clueless followers side with cady instead of her , and attempt to use her arbitrary rules against her - rules that she invented to control them and keep them in line .\nshe demonstrates her sociopathic intelligence several times , and it\u2019s clear that she derives pleasure from this .\nthe moment that spoke to me the most was when she phoned cady with \u201ci know your secret , \u201d and then went on to say \u201cdon\u2019t you hate gretchen for ratting on you ? \u201d while gretchen was on the phone .\ngretchen was in on this conversation - regina ' s way of keeping all her peons in check by playing them off of each other .\nshe deliberately plays people off against each other , manipulating them and their insecurities . she lies to aaron about cady . i\u2019d go so far as to say that she built the burn book all along as blackmail capital - it\u2019s a dead man\u2019s switch , which she can use as leverage against anybody who contemplates backstabbing her .\nit\u2019s like batman keeping kryptonite in case he ever has to kill superman . they know a lot about everybody , they have superior information - people like gretchen ( clueless ) seek regina\u2019s approval , and freely divulge information to earn that ( supeficial ) approval .\nnotice how insidious regina is - she got cady to insult ms . sharon in the burn book ! all of this is leverage that regina puts together to shore up her own social capital .\nthe conflict is resolved by a random act of god - the antagonist gets hit by a bus . and decides not to antagonize anymore .\nthis is the \u201cnear death\u201d trope - when a player experiences significant trauma and decides they don\u2019t want to play anymore . this is a bit of a copout , and probably an artistic choice for the sake of the limitations of the movie .\nthink about this - what would\u2019ve happened if regina didn\u2019t get hit by the bus ? even if cady decided to \u201cquit the plastic scene\u201d , cady\u2019s continued existence would threaten regina\u2019s dominance ( as long as regina cares about her social status ) . so regina would have no choice but to decimate cady altogether . it took a bus to take her out and make her decide that she didn\u2019t want to play .\nthere\u2019s no defeating people like regina in a simple face - to - face confrontation .\nshe has too many assets ( her own looks , the attention she gets from boys , and above all , her shrewd understanding of interpersonal relations , people\u2019s insecurities , fears , wants and needs , and all the blackmail content she has ) .\ni suppose maybe cady could\u2019ve gone the \u201cexile\u201d route and kept to herself and the math kids . that would have been a less satisfactory movie , of course .\nwhile she had nothing to lose by cady joining her and damien , she lost cady to the plastics . i think this happens a lot with \u201cgenuine\u201d people ( clueless ) who play their cards straight . we assume that our honesty and straightforwardness will be appreciated .\nunfortunately , social reality can be like poker - there are real stakes involved , and you don\u2019t win by \u201cplaying nice\u201d . well , different people have different interpretations of how the game ought to be played . janis and regina have completely opposite interpretations . janis believes in being a straight - talker , regina believes in manipulation for pleasure and profit .\ncady\u2019s interpretation of how to play the social game changes throughout the movie - that\u2019s her personal development as a character , and that\u2019s what makes the movie so goddamn compelling - she experiences multiple different social realities depending on how she wants to play her hand .\nas i revisit quotes of the movie , i realize that both of regina\u2019s followers are \u201cclueless\u201d ( in the gervais principle sense ) . they are eager for recognition , but they have no real idea how social dynamics actually work .\nshe has no idea how social reality actually works . she ' s insulated and used to having regina to take care of everything for her .\ngretchen isn\u2019t being a showoff when she says \u201ci can\u2019t help it if people like me cause i\u2019m popular\u201d - she\u2019s genuinely ignorant of how she comes across when she says that . that\u2019s posturetalk , not powertalk . she gets punished for it - her illusions are shattered .\nthis ignorance of actual social dynamics explains why they immediately started following cady around once regina was out of the picture . neither of them knows how to actually think for themselves . they ' re programmed to follow the leader .\ncady was always too inquisitive , analytical and questioning to be an obedient follower .\nconsider how cady wanted revenge when regina kissed aaron . gretchen and karen wouldn ' t dream of doing that . they would have conceded defeat and yielded to regina , and perhaps convinced themselves that it was for the best . \u201cyou might think you\u2019re attracted to him , but you\u2019re not . \u201d\nregina recognizes cady as a threat , and wants to crush her as quickly and thoroughly as possible . she didn ' t anticipate that the homeschooled girl would have the guts to fight back .\ni think that\u2019s the simplest and most rational explanation . all regina really cares about is the pleasure of manipulating others and maintaining her top dog status . she\u2019s used to having followers , and didn\u2019t quite expect cady to retaliate . ( cady retaliates partially because she has nothing to lose , and perhaps more importantly , she hasn\u2019t been socialized to back down . )\njanis is an example of a gervais \u201closer\u201d - a person who\u2019s typically smarter than the clueless ( gretchen , karen ) , but voluntarily chooses not to play the game . she demonstrates her wit and intelligence when she outs cady to regina in the gymnasium .\nthey are the most commonly studied character in sitcoms and films . most movies are made for losers like us , which is why they tend to end with the triumph of the loser . we ' re supposed to like janis , and choose to be like her . the straight - talking , mediocre - and - happy , better - than - average average people of the world . some movies are made celebrating sociopaths like regina - see the wolf of wall street , for example .\nif you want to understand clueless - gretchen , karen - watch michael scott in the office . if you want to understand sociopaths\u2026 regina\u2019s a great example .\nfollow me on twitter . if you\u2019re running a small business , check out the candybar blog .\nfrom a quick cheer to a standing ovation , clap to show how much you enjoyed this story .\nurltoken is the most trusted portal in india for auction of bank foreclosed properties including movable and immovable properties . almost all the leading public sector as well as private banks have used our portal for auctioning their npas . for buyers , our portal provides opportunity to own a property at a price substantially lower than market price .\nalready engage an agent ?

powered flying toaster .\nfriends is both in reruns and making new shite , but it remains a whiney , less - than - funny waste of my half an hour .\nwhat is a friend ? according to merriam webster ' s collegiate dictionary ( tenth edition ) , a friend is\none attached to another by affection or esteem\nor\na favored companion .\nso the friends gang , as they truly are friends , hold esteem and affection for each other . they would not let the others down . they will fight for the favored couch and for each other . otherwise , they wouldn ' t be friends . if they weren ' t friends , they would have to change the name of the program . probably to something like\n3 guys , 3 girls , and a coffee shop\nthen , later , to just\n3 guys and 3 girls .\nthat would be silly . therefore , the friends gang must win .\ndear white people follows the stories of four black students at winchester university , where a riot breaks out over a popular ' african american ' themed party thrown by a white fraternity . with tongue planted firmly in cheek , the film explores racial identity in ' post - racial ' america while weaving a universal story of forging one ' s unique path in the world .\nwe lay with you , and some of your friends called to send you love and peace . you had a lot of friends , and you loved them all . you went easily \u2013 i\u2019d been so worried that you\u2019d fight it like you\u2019ve fought so hard for so long , but you rested , and then you left .\nyou were there when our friends vic and louanne asked us to marry them \u2013 me to officiate , you as best beagle . these were two of the first friends you\u2019d met when you first moved in , and vic had told me you belonged here . i reminded him you were a beagle , so no way in hell would you be staying\u2026\nwatching 10 seasons of friends makes you realize some things : ross was a jerk , a minor character had the saddest fate , and no one seemed to own a bra .\narticles like these remind me why i\u2019ve always preferred seinfeld instead of friends . all the characters on seinfeld were dicks too , but at least that show was willing to admit it .\nalso , the show was popular because a lot of people could relate to the characters , ross included . you have to remember that the show has to exaggerate the characters to make it enjoyable . monica wouldn\u2019t be as relateable if she wasn\u2019t super crazy ocd and uptight . i have several friends that have some of the same characteristics as all of the other friends .\nchandler bing had the worst friends in the world . sure , he was a smart - ass and liked to make jokes but good lord everyone was just mean to him non - stop , phoebe being the worst . i\u2019m probably wrong but it sure seems like there were always more instances of chandler comforting / helping out his friends than any of them doing anything for him .\nwell , friends obviously has the babe factor ( tm ) . they have , perhaps , the uberbabe factor ( tm ) , with kudrow , cox , and aniston combined . seinfeld has . . . um . . . elaine . this is a woman who got one of her coworkers sick by just touching her office doorknob and phone . clearly friends is ahead so far .\nsoon enough , the seinfeld posse are triumphantly sipping their exquisitely flavored cups of soup , while the friends smolder , collectively banned for 10 years for their smart - ass remarks and special requests . finally , something snaps and the friends charge , meaning to get some of that soup my any means necessary . just when a new brawl seems inevitable , who should show up but gotham ' s finest ( tm ) . these guys are bored stiff from going after jaywalkers and litterers , and are all too happy to cart the friends off to the jail cells they richly deserve .\ni bet if i got my friends to come with me , it would be like the suite life of zach and cody episode , minus the ghost coming out of the wall but you never know .\njoey ' s final remark -\nwe friends have a saying . god created naked thursdays to train new roommates , or was it god created couches so they didn ' t have to stand ?\n( the soldiers gang up on the friends and jam active pepper spray bottles into their eyes . after several minutes of torture , the lead soldier ' s beeper buzzes , and it is answered . )\nfriends gang : monica is in shape and extremely competitive . phoebe is a pacifist unless you get her dander up . then she is dangerous . rachel is a whiney wimp . luckily , the friends gang won ' t need her . ross is also whiney , but competitive - - especially when george hits on rachel . chandler has a sharp wit . joey is strong ; at least compared to the seinfeld gang .\nnecchi ( a bar owner ) , perozzi ( a journalist ) , melandri ( an architect ) and mascetti ( a broken nobleman ) live in florence . they have been friends since their youngest years and spend every . . . see full summary \u00bb\ni voted for friends because i ' m in it , and i like me . . . smelly cat , smelly cat , what are they . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .\nthe four old friends meet on the grave of the fifth of them , perozzi , who died at the end of the first episode . time has passed but they are still up for adventures and cruel jokes , and . . . see full summary \u00bb\nfriends is just a clone of seinfeld , and as we all know a clone is only half as powerful as the original . don ' t believe me ? look at bizzaro , mini - me , the godfather part ii , and euro disney world .\ni owe a great deal to television , but this is where i draw the line , dammit ! no matter what television has thrown my way , i consumed it . willingly . but friends and seinfeld proved to be the one serving i couldn ' t suppress the gag reflex on . hell , i ' ve watched , and for the most part , been a fan of everything from\nadam adamant lives !\nto\nzoom\n. but seinfeld and friends cross the line of bad taste and stupidity that\nross couldn\u2019t stop fixating on the fact that his wife was a lesbian to his friends , but when he was in public , he had a hard time admitting his wife\u2019s sexuality to strangers , even though she had no problem with it . in \u201cthe one with two parts\u201d ( s1 : e16 ) , all three attended lamaze class together and ross tried to explain susan as \u201ccarol\u2019s friend . \u201d carol clarified , saying that they were \u201clife partners , \u201d but ross interrupted to claim that they were just very good friends .\na quick tip for next time : you should really let someone know when you stop caring about them . if only i had known , i would\u2019ve moved on before your disregard for me sent me into a self - despising spiral . the hardest thing i ever did was detach myself from you , but it has set me free more than you\u2019ll ever know . i\u2019m still struggling , but at least i\u2019m not forcing a friendship that isn ' t there . just like john green said , \u201cit is so hard to leave\u2014until you leave . and then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world . \u201d\ni got you all the good bs : burger and bananas and butter , your favorite thing in the world . remember when we were training in obedience , goddamned dog , when you thought go - outs were pointless , so i put a little butter on the target and you got it in one try ? you ate your whipped cream out of the canister this morning just like at thanksgiving , a little slow to catch it as it foamed out , but you caught it just the same . you tried to get up when you heard me cooking and the dishwasher open , your duties as sous chef and pre - washer not forgotten .\nok , i shall revise . idiots can occasionally win something but only if they are in a place that voted for walter mondale . but putting aside the unique wisdom of the minnesota voting population for the moment , the fact still remain that the friends group is totally out gunned .\neven though i was too young to remember friends in its initial 1994 - 2004 run , i grew up watching the reruns , so i knew the episodes pretty well . at least i thought i did , until i binge watched all ten seasons when the show became available on netflix .\nplus , how do you think jerry , george and kramer will be after doing some hard time ? mad as hell . after fighting off convicts in the shower and bench - pressing some prison yard weight , they ' ll mop up manhattan with the three mary - boys on friends .\nhas it started snowing already in minnesota ? are the cold , harsh october winds freezing mark ' s brain to a fare - thee - well ? as cute , lovable , and downright maladjusted as the friends are , that and a buck ' ll get you a ride on the subway compared to uber - mental powers possessed by the seinfeldians ( again , at least as compared to the mental dwarves in the friends universe ) . ross may have a doctorate , but only in the t . v . world could he last more than five minutes on the mean streets of gotham . phoebe , rachel , and joey don ' t have two brain cells to rub together between them , and chandler couldn ' t fight his way out of a douche bag . i ' d say paper bag , but the friends ' resident pseudo - gayman just doesn ' t rate it .\njerry - well , actually jerry is kind of a wimp , if you ask me . he whines a lot , is too picky about everything , and caves in to his friends wishes a lot . he almost sounds like . . monica . so the two will balance each other out .\ni remember watching friends the first time around and thinking that ross needed to chill out about rachel dating this italian stallion . but then rewatching the show , i found myself agreeing with ross : what exactly did rachel see in paolo ? because , uh , there really wasn\u2019t much to look at .\nsuperman quickly disposes of monica with a blast of super - breath , but not in time to save seinfeld . the surviving friends are left as the winners , being the only team with players still on the field , and emerge , wide - eyed and blinking , into the new york night .\nyou joined in your things\u2019 events with all their friends , equally your things in your mind , equally careless with cheetos and chips and always your favorite place to be , surrounded by the boys you\u2019d loved from grade school to university , accepting all new comers and girlfriends and additional members of the crowd as your own .\nmonicelli ended up directing a project by his friend pietro germi when the latter fell seriously ill . five middle - aged florentine friends , some of whom are wealthy , others totally broke , spend most of their time playing outlandish jokes on anyone they come across to try and stay young and stave off the shadow of death .\n2 . elaine - she is not afraid of anything , except maybe breaking up with puddy . she took on george ' s father and even a soup nazi and won , so she has proven she can go toe to toe with the best . none of the friends gang has the fierceness that an angry elaine can create .\nthe second world war is nearly over . several friends get together in the streets of florence and plan to revive interest in boxing in their shattered country , which has been completely forgotten about because of the war and the impending defeat . to do this they go round various towns and villages and put on what on occasions are absurd fights .\nthe gang on friends are nice to each other . ross is a big , whiny baby , incapable of harboring a mean thought toward anyone . phoebe is too flaky to be malicious . joey would just act mean , and even then it ' s not a very good imitation . chandler comes close , but he ' s still a big walking doormat .\nc ' mon ! ! this one is a no - brainer . friends are a bunch of mamby - pamby , wishy - washy group huggers . the seinfeld gang has killed and maimed before and done so with no remorse . george killed his fiance using stationery . jerry flattened bette midler on the softball field . kramer beats up kids in his karate class .\nall right ! now this is a match that us evilphiles can really sink our teeth into ! we have seinfeld , the icon of modern self - absorbed pettiness . we have friends , the paragon of servitude to the coolness codes . thank you , thank you , thank you ! ! ! ( er , i mean , i hate you . . . ahem . )\nyes . . . the soup nazi . with his thief friends , they will steal the couch . this time the soup nazi will not give it to kramer , and the consequences happen thus . . . it gets a place in the kitchen , then it gets dirty with soup stains . . . then used as rags . . . both couchless and uphoulstry mangled .\nsecond episode of the adventures of the group of fifty - somethings in amici miei . the action begins where the previous film left off : at the funeral of one of the friends who reappears through the memories and recollections of his companions . despite the time gone by and the fact that death is never far away , all they know how to do is to carry on playing their tedious jokes .\ni agree that the seinfeld gang might be wimpy and run away during the first confrontation . that would leave the younger , hipper friends ownership of the couch . but , what few realize is that the simply purchasing of the couch is not the end . the naive friends will move the couch into one of their outrageously cheap , yet lavous apartments , assuming they don ' t end up destroying it along the way . regardless , the seinfeld group will not just give up . after several nerve - racking days of plotting and scheming , they will find a way to take back the couch that is rightfully theirs , whether through subterfuge , breaking and entering , or just grabbing it and running away , though that is difficult with a couch . in the end , seinfeld will have his couch .\nelsa matinelli , who a few years later was to be howard hawks ' african heroine in hatari ! , is donatella , a bookbinder ' s daughter . one day she finds a bag that a wealthy american woman has lost . they become good friends and when the woman has to go back to the usa , she asks donatella to move into her house so that it doesn ' t look like nobody is living there .\nall right mark , i understand really i do . i know it is a scary time up there in minnesota , what with knowing you aren ' t going to see the sun again for six months , so i ' ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it was fear induced insanity that made you pick the friends gang , because lets face it there is no way the seinfelders are losing this one .\n3 . kramer - what can i say about kramer . he is both smart and dumb at the same time , which , going up against friends , can actually help . he has invented things ( the bro , or manzierre , as well as perfume that smells like the beach ) , and has proven that he can go crazy on the drop of a dime . against joey or pheobe , the edge goes to kramer .\n1 . george - although unlucky with anything female , he has one of the most devious , evil minds on tv . he manages to move from job to job without actually ever working , fakes being handicapped to et his own office and bathroom , and can find a way out of almost everything except giving his atm password . ross is probably the smartest of all the friends , but he will prove no match for evil george .\nso , my friends and i are at this furniture store the other day , trying to buy a couch and this other group comes along and also tries to buy it . now , to me , haggling over furniture seems kind of petty . i mean , if this couch is going to become a part of my apartment or some strangers apartment , i really feel as if the couch should get a say in the matter .\nunfortunately for those craving a conflict like myself , this one will be ended quickly due to outside interference . to wit , the series finale of seinfeld ended with them in prison ; therefore , to be participating in this contest they must have escaped ( or our legal system released them early , but i imagine battling over a couch counts as a parole violation anyway ) . as they are the only people probably more likely than mork and mindy to attract attention in new york city , i figure within seconds of the start of this match the cops are gonna burst in and play baton baseball with jerry and his comrades . unfortunately this does mean the cast of friends win by default ; we can hope the friends catch a few blows by mistake in the confusion but i fear the\ni ' ll be there for you\ngang won ' t hang around long enough this time .\nare you kidding me ? was it not clearly established in the last episode that the sienfeld gang consists of the worst people on the face of the earth ? a normal day for these guys consists of stealing rye from an old lady , posioning future spouses , getting rid of hardworking soup salesmen and getting poor pakistanis deported . what does the friends gang do all day ? sit around and whine their love lives ? give me a break . . .\nit was a back yard barbecue ; vic\u2019s motorcycle club of fellow veterans , along with wives , brother , nieces and nephews , grand - nieces and friends . you schmoozed like a pro , saying hello to everyone , weaving in and out of the motorcycles , dancing a little , greeting the kids and , thanks to one little friend , sharing chips and dip . a lot of chips , a lot of salsa , a lot of spinach and cheese dip .\nfriends . . . they ' re driven mainly by codes of gen - x cool . they ' re that high school super - popular clique that didn ' t have to dirty their hands fighting because anyone stupid enough to oppose them was beaten up by the football team , the wrestling team . . . hell , even the chess club would throw a few pawns at the transgressor . they are ferris bueller to the sixth power . we just saw what ferris did to ex - con joe\nred\nclark . when the seinfelders approach , scheme in hand , the friends will be oblivious . . . ross & rachel ; , chandler & monica ; , joey & phoebe ; will be too busy making out to even care about the bitter baby boomers . . . their hordes of fans , however , will not . the second george * touches * rachel ' s ' do ( tm ) . . . game over .\nrlly ross is a dick ? mark admits he wanted rachel , proving ross s fears justified . his reactions were awful sure . then rachel goes on a date with the guy out of spite . but ross is the bad guy ? in order of worst to best friend i would say its phoebe \u2013 rachel \u2013 ross \u2013 monica \u2013 chandler \u2013 joey . and before you say anything im thinking of in the context of the 6 friends . joey is obviously terrible to other women .\nin short , the friends gang are nice people , far too nice to be real new yorkers ( tm ) . whereas the entire cast of seinfeld is chock - full of the rage ( tm ) . jerry ' s mad for a million minor reasons , kramer is angry for a reason no one can really comprehend , elaine is upset because all the guys she meets are jerks , and george is pissed off because he ' s short , fat , bald , and still lives with his parents .\nyou stayed quiet for the whole ceremony \u2013 handled it like a pro . sat politely all the way to the kiss before bolting toward the food being readied in the back . a few plaintive howls sent in just the right direction got you , i noticed , some pulled pork and ribs , bone off , from a few of your new friends . who am i to argue , after all , with a twenty - pound beagle wending her way through the families of large biker men clad in leather and honorable colors ?\ni deserve better than you . i deserve friends who will always be with me , not just when it\u2019s convenient for them . you were constantly making me feel small because you needed to feel big . i\u2019m not mad at you , i\u2019m just sad . disappointed , really . i let you in , and i made you bigger in my life than you made me in yours . after everything that has happened , i just want to know , did you ever consider me a friend ? or was i always just a topic of conversation to you ?\nrachel was a cow the whole time . she\u2019d dump ross and then when he had a new girlfriend she\u2019d suddenly realise she still loved him , or guilt trip him . she even turned up in england at his wedding and broke that up and then broke up with him again when she got him back . high maintenance too using all of her friends for money and as shoulders to whine on . i think ross must have been mentally insane to still love her even though he was supposedly in love with other people too . how could anyone love that user ?\nas events turn against the friends , rachel pulls out her ultimate weapon . yes , not only is jennifer aniston a superstar of film and screen , she is also the secret captain of twiggy ' s waifs instant terror society . as she releases the twits symbol from her the empty space in her head , calista flockhart and kate moss arrive on the scene . quickly , they climb the nearby refrigerators and unleash the devastating triple vomit splash ( tm ) . it looks like the seinfeld gang will be crushed worst than a chair at an chris farley look - a - like convention .\nso david watched the woman he had been in love with for seven years accept another man\u2019s proposal , and to top it off , phoebe admitted that if he had asked first , she probably would have said yes . david left barbados , lonely and filled with regret . i just get so sad thinking about how terrible david\u2019s fate turned out and i want justice for this sweet , awkward , lovable guy . if that friends movie ever happens , i want just at least one throwaway line that mentions that david is now successful and happily married and maybe doing voiceover work on the simpsons .\nsorry to be the one to have to tell you , but in the world we live in good looks are all that matters . the friends gang will win because they are all more or less attractive . although i don ' t personally think rachel is all that hot , she has squinty little eyes , and monica is kind of a bitch . even with those two draggin ' them down , the friend - ly crew will mop the floor with the seinfeldians because , and let ' s be honest here , they are ugly . elaine ' s okay , but the others are just plain ugly . i wrote a little song about it :\nhow can you claim that the friends are stupid ? they were clever and resourceful enough to fashion a very long poking device out of chopsticks to check on ugly naked guy . i might add that it was joey that came up with this idea , and if he ' s the dumbest , imagine what the rest of the friends could do . what does seinfeld have ? kramer ? his best idea was a rubber bladder for the inside of oil tankers , and it was a flop . george ? he ' s only smart when he ' s not thinking about sex , and i doubt he ' ll have anything else on his mind after he sees phoebe , monica , and rachel . elaine ? this is a woman who singlehandedly ran the j . peterman corporation into the ground , you ' ve heard the drivel that ' s in that catalog it clearly isn ' t written by intelligent people . the fact that elaine was unable to do this suggests her idiocy . jerry ? it ' s true that he ' s always there with the witty remarks , but look at what he has to work with . george and kramer are walking punchlines , anyone could make fun of them . besides , he regularly got outsmarted by newman , anyone that has that happen to them must be an idiot .\nfirst aired ) , but still . . . has the human brain devolved to the point where nothingness is considered funny ? i ' m beginning to think that i might just have to take over the airwaves ( and cable ) to remind everyone what quality tv is all about . funny is carol burnett , as scarlett o ' hara , wearing a curtain rod . funny is bugs bunny doing just about anything . quality television requires good writing and likeable characters , not whiny losers who pull a muscle when trying to affect a cute pose after a joke goes horribly awry . seinfeld and friends ain ' t quality tv in this or any other lifetime .\nobviously , the poor thing was trying to get some rest by camouflaging itself as a couch in a pier 1 . after all , who really does buy furniture from them ? well , unfortunately for the haggunenon , the friends and seinfeld gangs do . the tug - o - war they start with it is the last straw . before you can say ,\neat your heart out , galapagos islands !\n, it evolves into a ravenous bugblatter beast of traal and scarfs down both sets of self - absorbed poseurs , pausing only to dunk them in their own coffee . and , thankfully for us ( well , me , anyway ) , it does not make the mistake of reevolving into an escape pod .\ni finished \u201cthe last one\u201d at 3 am , and when i shut down my laptop and finally went to sleep , i realized that there are a lot of things off about friends i didn\u2019t notice the first time around . and i\u2019m not talking about obvious stuff like how it\u2019s impossible that monica was able to afford that spacious two bedroom apartment in the village even with her supposed rent control or how it\u2019s ironic that ross and rachel were billed as the series\u2019 top couple when they were only together for two out of the ten seasons . i\u2019m talking about stuff you don\u2019t notice until you sit down and watch all 236 episodes all in a row . buckle up , kids . i\u2019m going to point out some stuff that will blow your mind .\nin any other town , the friends would eke out a win after a brawl producing many lethal , organ - exposing injuries . this is new york , however , a city that credits its low murder rate to aggressive prosecution of people who jump subway turnstiles or urinate in public . these guys probably have a couple of squad cars following poppy around all day ; how do you think they ' ll respond to a full - blown furniture riot ? wading in with their nightsticks set on whomp , rudy ' s boys in blue will haul our hapless combatants off to the pokey . when the two groups arrive at the store the next day , the couch is gone , and the man who purchased it has left behind identical notes for each group :\nwhile the match commentary brings out many good points , it ignores one major fact . based on the premise , this is an intelligent sofa . if you were a sofa , who would you rather have sit on you : george or rachel ? in the effort to get the more desirable derriere , the sofa will fight all attempts to go with the seinfeld gang . after jerry and co . catch a few well - thrown springs and find that the cushions are suddenly all lumpy , they ' ll forget about the sofa and go off somewhere to have a wacky adventure about nothing at all , leaving the prize in the hands of the friends mob . now if the sofa can just figure out how to get put in rachel ' s apartment . . .\namongst my group of friends , none of us never really bought into the rachel / joey ship . i could believe that joey and rachel had an unrequited crushes on each other , but when it came down to watching them kiss on screen and go on dates , it fell flat . it\u2019s strange because on paper , joey and rachel do seem like an ideal couple . someone even went through the trouble of listing all the reasons why : they\u2019re compatible in terms of intelligence and temperament , they don\u2019t have a complicated history like rachel does with ross , and they got along well as roommates . however , it was still just so weird to see them together , especially since at this point rachel and ross had a child together . even if joey and rachel stayed together , how were they going to fit ross in their relationship ?\n1 . matthew perry was clearly in a bad place and only getting worse throughout the show\u2019s run , going from svelte and healthy - looking in season 1 to slightly bloated and permanently crimson - hued around season 8 . 2 . the cast will not stop shouting their lines in the later episodes , making them quite tiresome to watch . 3 . yes , ross is a dick . the show keeps trying to present him as being lovably apprehensive , but his behaviour is so petty and so hysterical that he ends up looking faintly sociopathic , and i wonder why the rest of the gang don\u2019t just tell him to fuck off . 4 . friends overall is watchable , but not particularly memorable , to the point at which even after having watched several dozen episodes i can barely recall any lines , plots , gags , supporting characters , etc . except for \u201cwe were on a break ! \u201d , obviously .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\ntuscany , august 1944 : the allies have just entered florence , italy is devasted by the war , and the people are hungry .\ndieci\n, who claims to have been a boxer and a manager , gathers a group . . . see full summary \u00bb\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

( the film lineup , with short blurbs , is after the jump . )\nthe psychic trauma of impending childbirth has proven fertile territory for horror films past , from the early david cronenberg chiller \u201cthe brood\u201d to the extreme french horror film \u201cinside , \u201d but bruce mcdonald\u2019s \u201chellions\u201d is an unpleasant muddle of the visceral and the abstract . though it carries the conceptual boldness of his ingenious 2008 zombie riff , \u201cpontypool , \u201d [ \u2026 ]\nit\u0092s enchanting . the look of mcdonald\u0092s film , unlike much anything else , takes the wheel from its comparatively simple setup and pushes hellions into a dreamy ultra - style . just as dora is delivered the news of her pregnancy , she\u0092s told there\u0092s still time for options , and so the film externalizes her dilemma in bold , nightmarish form . the middle ground of halloween , in which the living and dead and supernatural co - exist , parallels her own between adulthood and adolescence , between keeping a baby or not .\ndon\u2019t get me wrong , the film is not overtly bad at all . it has some very nasty moments which will leave audiences squirming in their seats and the camera work here is great . even the direction from mcdonald is reasonably sound , but my problem lies with how the film changes between the first and second act . once the demonic kids arrive the film is over - saturated with bleached tones . yes , this may promote an eerie atmosphere but the artful approach removes everything scary about it .\nhellions is a movie starring chloe rose , rachel wilson , and rossif sutherland . a teenager must survive a halloween night from hell when malevolent trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door .\n\u2014 in winter 1921 , d . h . lawrence and his wife journeyed to sardinia , and he chronicled their experiences in \u201csea and sardinia . \u201d now , mark cousins retraces lawrence\u2019s footsteps . the film is conceived partly as a letter to lawrence \u2014 or \u201cbert\u201d \u2014 a detail typical of the film\u2019s inviting sense of conversational intimacy . ( international premiere )\nit isn\u2019t just the who and the why of the diminutive demons that is unknown . everything about the film\u2019s fiction is up in the air . this increasingly bizarre mystery marks an initially fascinating way for the film to foster suspense while the audience takes the same arc as dora in frantically finding out exactly what is happening to the tormented teen and her weird surrounding world .\ncandler gets strong performances from both her young cast and adult players . unfortunately , this gets overshadowed by the predictable plot and the distractingly shaky camera angles meant to give the film added grit .\ndora escapes the house and hides in a shed outside . a disembodied voice compels dora to sleep and repeats \u201cblood for baby , \u201d explaining that the hellions tormenting her have plans to kill dora and take her unwanted child .\n\u201chellions\u201d has a terrific style , though it uses that style to explore territory too abstract to qualify the halloween - set film as essential october 31st viewing alongside \u201ctrick ' r treat , \u201d \u201challoween , \u201d or \u201challoween iii : season of the witch . \u201d yet when separated from the fluff of its disappointing denouement , there remains a disturbingly dark fairy tale in the movie ' s core capable of leaving a lasting impression .\n\u201chellions\u201d keeps its hooks firmly embedded with atypical visuals hypnotizing in parallel to the tone . \u201chellions\u201d may be the only horror movie choosing to filter its hue through a chromatic pink color instead of the usual giallo green , red , or deep blue most films use . there is probably some metaphoric meaning relating to the pregnancy plotline or the october sky\u2019s blood moon overhead , but the look is so unique that it commands engagement simply for being a seldom seen style .\n, in which a few people have probably their worst - ever halloween night when demonic little trick - or - treaters show up on their doorstep . the hellions trailer has some very odd halloween sights ; have a look below .\nit\u2019s not a well kept secret that we are huge midnight madness fans . in fact , the late - night screenings at ryerson theatre are where most of the fondest memories we have of the last decade of tiff movie going . if general tiff audiences are regarded as some of the best among all international film festivals , then the midnight madness crowd are the pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance of film festival audiences .\n\u201chellions takes place on halloween night in the town of waterford , the so - called pumpkin capital of the world . hidden among the trick - or - treaters , a group of masked demonic beings roam the town and come upon dora , a teenager home alone for the night . cut off from the outside world and under siege in her isolated home , dora will need to defend both her body and soul from the relentless evil beings known as hellions . \u201d\nhellions gradually transitions into nightmare logic , where the rules of time and space don\u2019t apply . the color shifts to sepia , we see kaleidoscope imagery , and dora ends up in a completely strange world for the climax . editing even changes the logic of continuity . the lack of logic is always the scariest part of nightmares anyway , that you can\u2019t even count on basic physics to apply , so it\u2019s a good approach to the film\u2019s horror .\nthere\u2019s no accurate way to predict on which side of the line any given person will stand once the cloud clears . the only prudent advice is to tell potential viewers of \u201chellions\u201d to be ready for either possible outcome : admiration or aversion .\nup next were sydney\u2019s hellions , who put on a show , unlike anything i\u2019ve seen before . confidently defiant of restrictive genre boundaries , hellions combined their signature sound with the excitement of a band so comfortable and so proud of the music they\u2019ve worked to create . at times i wasn\u2019t sure whether i was at a hardcore gig or a funk gig , which made their performance all the more entertaining , and it was clear that the crowd and band were feeding off the other\u2019s energy .\nin its best moments , hellions is interesting and perplexing and worth soaking in , in the sense that one would admire a hieronymus bosch - inspired painting . but without at least one foot on the ground , it doesn ' t inspire fear .\ni generally keep an eye on the film festival scene because it\u2019s always where the best horror films premiere . as has long been the case for over a decade at this point , the indie scene is where it\u2019s at when it comes to horror . anyway , last year i started hearing some buzz about \u201chellions . \u201d despite being the spookiest holiday by far , there aren\u2019t nearly as many halloween - set horror films as there should be . so here comes a film about malevolent trick - or - treaters ? and it\u2019s directed by the guy who made \u201cpontypool , \u201d an odd but fascinating canadian variation on the zombie concept from a few years back ? sign me up ! as sometimes happened , the review started to roll in and they were\u2026\nprepare for polarization . at one end of \u201cpontypool\u201d director bruce mcdonald\u2019s \u201chellions\u201d is a mound of moody madness and stylish scares . at the other sits a heap of baffling background and ambiguous artistry . whichever side sways most is what tips the scale determining who leaves frightened and who leaves frustrated .\n\u201cstation to station\u201d ( director : doug aitken ) \u2014 \u201cstation to station\u201d is composed of 60 individual one - minute films featuring different artists , musicians , places , and perspectives . this revolutionary feature - length film reveals a larger narrative about modern creativity .\nthe plot of hellions is very similar to that of an earlier short story\nbuckets\nby f . paul wilson . in the story , an abortion doctor is visited and tormented by trick - or - treaters who are revealed to be the spirits of fetuses he has aborted throughout his career .\noriginally , walt disney boldly conceived of fantasia not as a single static film , but as a\nnew form of entertainment\nwith a repertoire that would be regularly updated and rereleased , new sequences replacing old ones and perhaps old favorites returning from time to time .\n\u201chellions\u201d ( canada ) ( director : bruce mcdonald , screenwriter : pascal trottier ) \u2014 teenage dora vogel must survive a halloween night from hell when malevolent trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door . cast : chloe rose , robert patrick , rossif sutherland , rachel wilson , peter dacunha , luke bilyk .\nkevin bacon , keanu reeves and eli roth are among the bigger names aiming to generate buzz and raise gooseflesh in the park city at midnight sidebar at the 2015 sundance film festival , the lineup of which was announced today alongside those of the festival\u2019s spotlight and new frontier sections .\ndora makes it outside and shoots hellions on the lawn until she is overcome by a swarm of them . dora wakes restrained and surrounded in an open field , but mike comes to her rescue . in a dream state , mike and dora enter mike\u2019s former house . mike presents his wife\u2019s newborn child to dora and it mutates in the girl\u2019s arms .\nhellions starts off well enough thanks to rose . anyone could guess the reason she\u2019s going to the clinic well before doctor henry ( rossif sutherland ) delivers the news , but rose has more than enough natural charisma to sell dora as a very likable lead with a mind of her own , sparking curiosity regarding how she\u2019s going to deal with the scenario .\nnorayr kasper ' s cinematography is interesting throughout as he sifts through one artfully framed shot after another then seguing into more aesthetically - pleasing territory with filters and lighting . the imagery , alone , smoothed out a lot of the more negative aspects of this film ( but , not the exploding pumpkin patch - \u2026\nin the shadowy world of 2010 ' s unauthorized low - budget quasi - sequels to halloween iii that lean way heavy on the purples and pinks , hellions is totally like what bootleg halloween iv could have been if halloween iii had made so much money right out the gate that unaffiliated producers everywhere were like , ok ! so what happens next ? and came up with some crazy ideas whilst freebasing melted - down vhs copies of labyrinth all night until the fumes drove them from the office bathroom and / or caused them to pass out having the weirdest dreams and that dream would have been hellions and instead of sleeping they drove out to the nearest pumpkin farm in ontario the very next day and made this movie . nominally\u2026\nhellions is incredibly scary . mcdonald does a terrific job building the tension and suspense early on . i was on the edge of my seat just waiting for something terrible to happen to dora . i literally had to get up and turn some lights on because it freaked me out that bad . major kudos to mcdonald and crew for being able to accomplish that .\nmore so at these screenings than others , the directors , cast and crew of these films compliment and cheer on the rowdy and raucous film viewing mob , while we watch these action - packed , shocking and sometime horrific films . it\u2019s an obscene celebration of art \u2013 but we wouldn\u2019t have it any other way .\nno one wants a horror movie ridden with cliche scares and plot points , but there is something to be said for one that can tap into familiar territory but deliver a fresh take on it . director bruce mcdonald certainly tries to do something along those lines with hellions , but the traditional halloween shenanigans are far more entertaining than the muddled surreal spin he puts on them .\nthe film also has a really cool style . about halfway through the film , when shit really begins to get real and pick up , the color filter shifts . i\u2019m not sure it goes to full on sepia or something similar , but it sorts of takes the movie into this dream - like world . it\u2019s a really nice touch and helps the movie start to mess with your mind . there is also one superb shot of dora running with the moon in the background with an orange sky . it\u2019s beautiful and reminded me of the scene halloween iii : season of the witch with trick - or - treaters from around the world out and about .\nbefore a blood moon turns the autumnal splendor of a small town to a fetal pink , \u201chellions\u201d has the eerie quality of halloween night in an \u201980s horror film , where suburban normalcy ends at dusk . dora ( chloe rose ) wiles away the afternoon in a pumpkin patch , smoking a joint with her boyfriend ( luke bilyk ) , but the day takes a dramatic turn when her doctor ( rossif sutherland ) informs her that she\u2019s four weeks pregnant . the news of this seemingly immaculate conception shocks dora enough to keep her inside the house while her mother ( rachel wilson ) and little brother ( peter dacunha ) go out trick - or - treating , but she doesn\u2019t have much time to process it in peace .\nthe plot of this halloween - based canadian horror film makes little sense and plays out like a teenager ' s disjointed pregnancy nightmare , but what it lacks in coherence it makes up for in production design and includes a few really eerie scenes and lots of genuinely creepy costumed kids . far from a classic , but well worth watching .\nas a whole , hellions fails to match pontypool as it is clearly not of the same caliber . the plot is relatively simple and not too different from your average home invasion thriller . it tries to strive for originality by introducing a supernatural twist to the subgenre . regrettably the execution of the plot devices and the treacherous pacing of the story combined with bleached out visuals marred the experience .\n\u201cthe nightmare\u201d ( director : rodney ascher ) \u2014 a documentary - horror film exploring the phenomenon of sleep paralysis through the eyes of eight people . they ( and a surprisingly large number of others ) often find themselves trapped between the sleeping and awake realms , unable to move but aware of their surroundings while subject to disturbing sights and sounds .\neven the abstract imagery of bach\u2019s toccata and fugue in d minor , and the serene world of the candle - bearing pilgrims who accompany schubert\u2019s ave maria , are not without power . the film comes to a halt only for an unnecessary intermission with a dancing animated\nsoundtrack ,\nand perhaps musicologist deems taylor\u2019s introductions with their studied casualness .\nkevin bacon , keanu reeves and eli roth are among the bigger names aiming to generate buzz and raise gooseflesh in the park city at midnight sidebar at the 2015 sundance film festival , the lineup of which was announced today alongside those of the festival\u2019s spotlight and new frontier sections . fresh off his turn in \u201cjohn wick , \u201d reeves stars [ \u2026 ]\nbruce mcdonald is best known for his previous film pontypool , a tale of a zombie apocalypse spread by the spoken word set within the confinement of a radio station . very creative and incredibly suspenseful , pontypool really knocked me for six and i loved every minute of it so imagine how excited i was to be sitting down to watch his follow up .\nofficer mike corman rescues dora . thinking they hear dr . henry\u2019s screams , dora returns to the house with mike , but it turns out to be another hellion illusion . mike finds runes drawn on the wall that translate to harvest , birth , and sacrifice . upon confirming that dora is pregnant , mike explains that he confronted the hellions during a previous halloween blood moon when they came for his pregnant wife sherri .\nmy one complaint is the story isn\u2019t completely coherent . i can\u2019t tell you what was real or what was fake . ultimately i\u2019m not even sure why these kiddie creatures want dora\u2019s baby . there are some references to some history these creatures have with this small town , but nothing is really that clear . i think this actually makes me appreciate hellions even more . the story isn\u2019t that tight or clear and yet i still loved this movie .\nmixing elements of \u201cils\u201d and \u201cthe strangers\u201d with \u201cinside\u201d ( review here ) and \u201ca nightmare on elm street , \u201d the strong start to \u201chellions\u201d comes from an early uncertainty as to what type of thriller it even is . the setup teases touches of paranormal pregnancy , home invasion horror , and supernatural slasher in ways where the distinct lack of rules for how perception is played with creates a \u201cstay on guard\u201d sense of heightened alert and constant questions .\nthe surreal setting bears down hard and a nyah - nyah - nyah soundtrack of children\u2019s voices grows gratingly cacophonous . by this point , plenty of people will mentally , and perhaps literally , head for the exit with understandable justification on their side . for anyone more overwhelmed by the force and feel of the film\u2019s first half , imagery still burns strong , even with possibly illegitimate purpose .\nopera oblivia , the band\u2019s latest and most experimental release proved itself in a live setting : lotus eater and nightliner rhapsody transcended pop punk - esque vocal hooks and instrumentation to become colossal live tracks while closing song thresher rounded out hellions \u2019 performance with a bold assertion of their performative creativity and energy . special mention to drummer anthony caruso , who struck every single part of his kit with guts from start to finish and didn\u2019t once miss a beat .\npint - sized boogeymen spoil halloween in a big way in hellions , a hard - sell horror flick about the unthinkability of teen pregnancy . bruce mcdonald ' s latest is a genre - freak - only affair that even at 81 minutes feels like a joke that takes much too long reaching its punch line ; though horror fests may bite , commercial prospects are slim despite the fanboy - friendly presence of robert patrick as a grizzled small - town cop .\n\u201cthe tribe\u201d ( ukraine ) ( director and screenwriter : myroslav slaboshpytskiy ) \u2014 set at a ukrainian boarding school for the deaf , the film\u2019s narrative unfolds purely through sign language without the need for subtitles or voiceover , resulting in a unique , never - before - seen cinematic experience that engages the audience on a new level . cast : grigoriy fesenko , yana novikova , rosa babiy , alexander dsiadevich .\nhellions stars chloe rose , robert patrick and rachel wilson and follows dora ( rose ) , a rebellious teenager who finds out that she is pregnant . wanting to avoid all sense of responsibility she decides to celebrate halloween by going out to a party . so , after dressing up in her angel costume , she eagerly awaits the arrival of her boyfriend until a malevolent group of monstrous trick - or - treaters come knocking at her door with the intention of taking her unborn child .\nthat what they ' re watching isn ' t strictly objective reality . dora ' s body is no longer her own , making the home - invasion analogy a blunt but potent metaphor for her feelings of powerlessness . other horrors - of - new - mom - dom analogies are effectively used throughout the film , particularly womb - like jack - o ' - lanterns , and raw chicken eggs splattering on translucent window panes .\nthe world\u2019s scariest publication , scream \u2013 blood , guts , gore & more ! we are the world\u2019s number one print & digital horror magazine . we cover films , celebrity interviews , dvds / blu - rays , festivals , books , games , comics , graphic novels , fiction / non - fiction , photography , clothing / fashion , news , reviews , previews , competitions , on - location film reports & much , much more !\nthankfully redemption can be found in the performances delivered by chloe rose and robert patrick . chloe did a wonderful job in leading the film and went the mile to make her performance wholly believable . patrick , known to most as the relentless t - 1000 , plays the town sheriff who comes to her aid . bringing a sense of mystery to his character , patrick is very likable in the role and offers adequate support to rose without overshadowing her .\nsoon , the trick - or - treater announcing doorbells turn sinister . the film is like one of those inherently creepy images of halloween in the 1920s come - to - life . small , childlike forms , draped in dresses and overalls , and adorned with unsettling masks locked in benevolent expression , terrorize dora . they whisper in her head . they want her baby . these demonic little things invade her home and force this angel out into the red night .\nthe vanguard programme is often filled with unusual , challenging , and experimental films that push the boundaries of what you typically see on the big screen . it can be a hit - or - miss section to choose from . this year\u2019s crop of films continues that mandate . one that seems to be grabbing attention early on is the south korean film collective invention . in what promises to be a humorous satire , a mutant fish - man becomes a national celebrity .\ni love love love movies that take place on or around halloween . most horror fans probably feel the same way , but it\u2019s my favorite holiday and because of that there\u2019s a special joy i get when a movie uses halloween as a setting . seeing the costumes and the decorations and others celebrating a day i love is a real treat . no matter how many movies i\u2019ve seen that take place on halloween , i\u2019m constantly looking for new ones to add to the october rotation . i am very happy to say that hellions absolutely belongs on everyone\u2019s mandatory october watch list .\n( newly available on blu - ray / dvd ) rather than a static motion picture , fantasia was originally conceived as a repertoire , a selection of presentations that over time could be augmented by new pieces while old ones were retired , like an orchestra rotating its concert lineup \u2026 ten years ago , amid the wreckage at the end of the 1990s disney renaissance , the disney studio marked fantasia \u2019s 60th anniversary with fantasia 2000 , a film intended to honor in a way the original repertory conception of fantasia .\n\u201cthings of the aimless wanderer\u201d ( rwanda - u . k . ) ( director and screenwriter : kivu ruhorahoza ) \u2014 a white man meets a black girl , but then she disappears . the white man tries to understand what happened to her while also trying to finish a travelogue . the film concerns the sensitive topic of relations between \u201clocals\u201d and westerners , as well as paranoia , mistrust and misunderstandings . cast : justin mullikin , grace nikuze , ramadhan bizimana , eliane umuhire , wesley ruzibiza , matt ray brown .\nanyway , what an ugly - looking movie ! the majority of it was filmed ( that is , filtered to death later ) in a candy - ish lavender tint , for no reason other than that the action takes place at night and we wouldn ' t be able to otherwise see anything . the onscreen violence is filmed like billions of other action scenes you ' ve seen on television since the arrival of hd digital film ( that annoying staccato frame rate thing where it looks like it ' s being shown through a hand - cranked projector ) .\nthe set - up for\nhellions\nis blessedly simple : dora ( chloe rose ) , a typically moody high school senior , discovers she ' s four weeks pregnant on halloween . dora is unsure of how to broach the subject with chops - busting boyfriend jace ( luke bilyk ) and approachable - but - overbearing mom kate ( rachel wilson ) . in fact , dora can barely find the words to talk to sensitive gynecologist dr . henry ( rossif sutherland ) . but dora doesn ' t have to wonder what she ' s going to do for long because she ' s soon confronted with bigger problems : pint - sized , costumer - wearing kids who start by egging dora ' s house , then destroy property and anyone who gets in their way .\nilium , new york\nby patrick stephenson from albany , n . y . - a post - industrial love story ,\nilium , new york\nis a day in the life of a fictional rust - belt town inspired by kurt vonnegut ' s\nplayer piano\n. the work also functions as an origin story of\nthe rags\n- invented in 1970 ' s chicago by dan giesler , uncle of the filmmaker . with pocket lint for a budget and a maximum crew of two , the film was shot over three winters in upstate new york . the next project ,\nsacred miracle cave\n, will serve as the second installment of a planned trilogy .\nstriking images abound in almost every sequence . take the brilliantly rendered dancing flowers and fairies of tchaikovsky\u2019s nutcracker suite ( the\nchinese dance\nmovement especially , with its solemn , broad - hatted coolie mushrooms bowing gravely to one another , made an indelible impact on me the first time i saw the film as an adult ; and the joyously whirling tall - hatted cossack thistles and swirling - skirted orchids in the\nrussian dance\nare almost as memorable ) . or the majestic winged horses and flirting centaurs and centaurettes in beethoven\u2019s pastoral symphony . or the great stegosaurus - vs - tyrannosaur battle of stravinsky\u2019s the rite of spring ( quaint - looking when compared with dinosaur \u2019s computer animation , but far stronger emotionally ) .\nthis was another film from frightfest that i had missed and know i know i made the right decision to skip it . there ' s some potential here for a halloween set horror with demon ' s disguised as trick or treating children but on the whole it ' s a bit of a mess . chloe rose is a 17 year old who learns from a doctor , on halloween that she ' s pregnant . she returns home to an empty house and is soon being harassed by some young masked trick or treater ' s . to start with it could be just a prank but things take a turn for the violent when it appears they are after her unborn child . there ' s plenty of style and some nice imagery on\u2026\nthe lack of rules regarding the trick - or - treaters , their goals and their realm is also extremely problematic . based on the look of the film , you\u2019d think that dora is the one who\u2019s trapped there , but apparently other townsfolk can traipse in as well . at one point , doctor henry gets caught up in the madness and then so does a painfully underdeveloped town cop played by robert patrick . neither add much to the narrative or the mythology . they\u2019re primarily there so that dora can get her hands on a shotgun and so that we can get some additional carnage . they\u2019re fleeting thrills that add nothing to the big picture . their screen time would have been much better spent focusing on dora\u2019s efforts to figure out what\u2019s happening and how to beat it .\nwhat mcdonald and trottier don ' t do is establish dora ' s baby - phobia as a symptom of her character and not her age . that ' s admittedly a challenge given the brief time we get to know dora . but rose , clad in a basic halo - and - wings angel costume for halloween , seems to represent a type , not an individual . we arguably don ' t need to know much about dora , but there isn ' t much in the film about her dreams that don ' t make her seem like a personality - less cypher . she ' s supposed to be average , and mcdonald refreshingly doesn ' t stigmatize her teenage pregnancy . in fact , he goes out of his way to show that doctor henry is caring , and that both kate and jace are friendly enough .\nreleased in 1940 , fantasia was a critical and popular failure in its own day ( roger ebert blames a war - related shortage of whimsical spirit ) ; but with the passage of time it has gradually been completely vindicated . endorsed in the 1950s by high - minded educators and culture critics for its popularization of classical music ( as well as the\nscience\nand\nculture\nconceits of the rite of spring sequence\u2019s primeval history and the pastoral \u2019s use of greco - roman mythology ) ; then embraced by the 1960s counterculture for its dreamlike , nonlinear imagery ; and ultimately hailed by virtually all film critics for its undeniably glorious , groundbreaking , visionary animation , fantasia has taken its place as one of the unquestioned all - time great animated films , indeed , one of the all - time great films , period .\na bunch of little hellions show up at a pregnant teenager ' s house on halloween and then expect me to sift through subtext for about 70 - fucking - minutes and maybe i wouldn ' t have been so annoyed if the movie didn ' t look like absolute shit , i ' m sure the lousy performances didn ' t help either . for a majority of the running time i was mostly bored & annoyed because i didn ' t give a shit about what was happening on the screen and once the ending rolled around , instead of a redeeming twist or payoff , i was just sorta like\nhuh ? that ' s it ?\ni had my notebook in front of me and when i wasn ' t scribbling\nthis is kinda stupid ,\nor at the bottom of the page in all - capital lettering\nso , so stupid ,\ni was doodling little ghosts and pumpkins and skeletons , because i was that disengaged .\nwith a powerful performance by aaron paul and very believable teenagers played by the whole cast ,\nhellion\nis a deep and meaningful story that often fails to connect when it needs to , but other times when it does , it does so with vigorous pride . after the death of his wife , hollis ( aaron paul ) must deal with his teenage son getting in trouble with the law and dragging his younger son into that trouble , all while dealing with a depressing drinking problem . there are many themes explored throughout this film , but it never seems lie enough , and i normally enjoy open endings to great films , so that it keeps me guessing , but this felt a little too unfinished for my liking .\nhellion\nis a great story , told very well , but it is not without it ' s faults . aaron paul has a bright career ahead of him , and i cannot wait to see what he does next .\nafter starting the holiday relaxing with her boyfriend and a joint in a pumpkin patch , things are about to go very badly for dora ( chloe rose ) . first a routine visit to her doctor reveals that she ' s pregnant . then , after her mom and brother have left the house for trick - or - treating , the gates of hell open up . or something .\nthe bad vibes start off promisingly , as a couple of kids with exceptionally creepy costumes come to the door for candy , then keep returning for reasons dora doesn ' t understand . but rather than engage in slow - build horror , pascal trottier ' s screenplay flips the switch into poultergeist y chaos : everything turns pale pink , the house fills with savage winds , and voices from nowhere whisper menacing things . sadly , the pink tint remains even after the winds cease \u2014 inspiring visual fatigue that overwhelms some strong costume design and visual fx work .\ncutaways to spinning clocks and the like inspire us to wonder how much of this is in chloe ' s head . those signals continue even after her phone calls for help lead to visits from her doctor and patrick ' s character , who seems to have some experience with baby - obsessed halloween gremlins . unconvinced that any of this is actually happening , we might be excused for having a hard time caring about the violent action , but most viewers will at least stick around in hopes of an intelligible explanation in the end . they ' ll be disappointed .\n) . chloe rose stars as dora , your fairly typical 17 - year - old . she dresses in a lot of black , in a fashion i suppose kids today would say is goth . i wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s goth , but she has that hot topic look . there\u2019s actually a great scene with her early on in the waiting room of a doctor\u2019s office . its halloween day and a little girl in a halloween costume is waiting next to her . dora compliments the girl\u2019s costume and then the little girl says , \u201ci like your costume as well . \u201d puzzled , dora informs the girl that she\u2019s not wearing a costume . this was cute , funny scene , in a movie that is otherwise quite dark .\nonce dora sees the doctor ( rossif sutherland ) she learns that she\u2019s pregnant . she\u2019s completely stunned by the news . she can\u2019t believe it . there\u2019s no way she could possibly be pregnant . she\u2019s only had sex with her boyfriend jace ( luke bilyk ) once . but hey , once is all it takes !\nback at home her little brother remi ( peter dacunha ) is getting ready to head out for an exciting night of trick - or - treating with their mother ( rachel wilson ) . dora is supposed to go to a halloween party but given her recent pregnancy development she doesn\u2019t much feel like partying . she decides to stay home but changes her mind after he mother convinces her to enjoy her youth .\ndora gets dressed , calls up her boyfriend and waits for him to arrive . as she\u2019s waiting a couple of trick - or - treaters knock on the door . these kids have incredibly creepy , old timey costumes . these are like the type of costumes you see in old halloween pictures from the 1930\u2019s . one kid is wearing a metal bucket on his head and the other has a canvas , scarecrow - like sack . these little creeps have no manners as they refuse to say trick - or - treat , but dora still gives them candy .\nsome more times passes . dora\u2019s boyfriend never shows up , so she calls repeatedly but gets nothing . the trick - or - treaters come back and things begin to get really weird . these little freaks want dora , and more specifically want the baby in her tummy and they\u2019ll do anything to get it . the movie then becomes a battle between dora and these freaky kids .\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self - induced hallucination\u201d ) led them to make archival films from youtubes .\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 -

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

fatal fall on his ninth birthday . a psychologist probing into the accident is drawn into a mystery that tests the boundaries of fantasy and reality . gadon has emerged in recent years with striking back - to - back roles in brandon cronenberg\u2019s antiviral and david cronenberg\u2019s cosmopolis , and won the role of louis\u2019 mother natalie in a competitive casting search . she\u2019ll star opposite fifty shades of grey \u2018s jamie dornan as dr . allan pascal and breaking bad \u2018s aaron paul , who is set to play the boy\u2019s father .\nthe story in jensen\u2019s novel is told by two separate voices . one voice belongs to a nine - year - old french lad named louis drax , who seems prone to strange but non - lethal accidents . drax is a precociously bright , insightful , and puzzling boy who narrates his inner and outer lives with lively language . drax\u2019s parents are caught in an unraveling marriage , and like many a child , drax fears that he is the cause of that distress . when the family motors out to the french countryside for a picnic meant to celebrate louis\u2019s ninth birthday , the central mystery of the novel ensues : both louis and his father tumble over a cliff\u2019s edge . the father disappears in the river below , while louis survives but lapses into a coma .\nthe boy louis drax is a survivor along his life , escaping from death for eight times . on his ninth birthday , he goes to a picnic with his beautiful mother natalie and his father peter nearby a cliff . out of the blue , louis falls off the cliff and is declared dead by the doctors . however he awakes immediately before the autopsy and stays in coma under the care of dr . allan pascal . natalie discloses to the police detective dalton that peter , who is missing , pushed louis off the cliff and he becomes the prime suspect of the case . meanwhile dr . pascal , who is married , becomes close to natalie . when weird things happen in the hospital with louis , dr . pascal invites his psychiatrist dr . perez to share his knowledge about the behavior of the boy and they disclose secrets about the drax family .\nan intriguingly confusing aspect of aja\u2019s approach is that all of this seems to take place out of time . ted talk notwithstanding , when a cellphone appears , it\u2019s a jolt amid the retro vibe of gadon\u2019s throwback glamour and rachel o\u2019toole\u2019s production design . in the art - directed busyness of many of its interiors , the drax house and the psychiatrist\u2019s office in particular , louis drax achieves what it struggles elsewhere to do : it conveys a sense of churning drama that won\u2019t be contained , and the idea of an unconscious boy\u2019s still - active imagination .\ninstead , it falls among the seaweed monster , parker ' s hateful cop , and some clumsily foreshadowed psychic powers as one of louis drax ' s mismatched grab - bag of barely examined elements . so much is lost in this film ' s clutter , from any sense of the protagonist ' s humanity to a vision of the story that justifies all the random pieces , or brings them together . louis drax ' s forward motion relies on all its characters being angry and irrational , and rushing to judgment in the least productive ways possible . if that ever seemed like a deliberate , thoughtful choice , it ' d make a strong central theme , exploring how people are blinded by their own assumptions , and how calm and a change of perspective can change the world . but there ' s nothing so consistent or coherent to the 9th life of louis drax . it ' s even more of a mess than its poor mangled , hamster - murdering protagonist .\nas the 9th life of louis drax begins , 9 - year - old louis drax ( aiden longworth ) has a near - fatal fall from a cliff that puts him in a coma . louis ' father , peter ( aaron paul ) , who has disappeared , may have been responsible . louis ' distraught mother , natalie ( sarah gadon ) , waits by his bed and consults with the handsome , married dr . pascal ( jamie dornan ) . before long , natalie and the doctor begin to develop feelings for each other . in flashback , a psychologist , dr . perez ( oliver platt ) , speaks to the unusual , accident - prone louis , trying to figure out what makes him tick . meanwhile , the unconscious louis is living in his own dream world , speaking to a strange , seaweed - covered creature . everything points to one thing : what really happened up there on the cliff ?\nthe 9th life of louis drax is a powerful movie that brought me flashes of room because we have such a strong child main character and reminiscent of patrick ness ' a monster calls at times . it is so beautiful in a subtle dark way that you don ' t really fully grasp until the end . i struggled a bit with the pace because even louis ' voice got tiresome every now and then , but the dreamy atmosphere saturated with a constant sense of suspense and mystery where you just had to know more about this kid and what happened to him kept me hooked . louis is such a smart , perceptive , special kid , with his own voice and sense of self . you can ' t help but let him grow on you . there were some things i did not appreciate , such as the insta - love , but in the end even that made sense , and the twist caught me off guard , although i chided myself for not having thought of it , but the movie is that well done . looking back you see it makes perfect sense but while watching it just doesn ' t come to mind . the 9th life of louis drax is most definitely a unique movie that i highly recommend .\nthe story begins on louis drax ' s 9th birthday , when a lifetime of curious mishaps culminates in the boy ' s near - fatal fall . dr . allan pascal searches for the strange circumstances behind the young boy ' s accident and dark coincidences that have plagued his life . production [ edit ] in august 2 . jamie dornan joined the cast of the film , with alexandre aja directing from a screenplay by max minghella adapted from the book , who will produce alongside tim bricknell under their antcolony films banner .

focused alexandre aja , the 9th life of louis drax moves confidently , as if it seems to know where it ' s going . but as pieces come into place , the picture becomes less and less satisfying .\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 .\ndisc # 1 -

prone kid\u201d as we witness his litany of near - death experiences . a chandelier fell on him in his crib when he was an infant . there was an unfortunate incident involving a fork and an electrical socket . but the worst of all\u2014the one that may finally do him in\u2014occurred on his ninth birthday as he was enjoying a picnic with his mother , natalie ( sarah gadon ) , and father , peter ( aaron paul ) .\nyes , there is a sea monster , which might just be the imaginary friend to whom the comatose louis confesses all his secrets and fears . or he might represent something deeper\u2014the revelation of which provides the film with an unexpected amount of poignancy .\nwe know life happens , so if something comes up , you can return or exchange your tickets up until the posted showtime .\nbased on liz jensen\u2019s bestselling novel , the film picks up on louis drax\u2019s 9th birthday , when he miraculously survives a near fatal fall . his doctor allan pascal ( dornan ) finds himself tangled between his professional responsibility and his growing affections for the boy\u2019s mother ( gadon ) . when louis\u2019 father ( paul ) comes under suspicion , pascal realizes other mysterious forces may be at work . tim bricknell and minghella of antcolony films , shawn williamson of brightlight pictures and aja are producing . rosanne korenberg is executive producer .\ninstead , the thing that sets louis drax\u2019s story apart is louis drax himself : it\u2019s as if the kid is ready to die . he\u2019s already been through the experience often enough , and now , where anyone else his age might be fighting for his life , the only reason he\u2019s sticking around is for our entertainment . ( if he weren\u2019t in a coma , of course , he could tell us easily enough what happened to him . ) still , his unsettling acceptance of his fate suggests a completely different attitude from countless other terminal - kid stories \u2014 tearjerkers like \u201cmy sister\u2019s keeper\u201d and \u201cthe fault in our stars\u201d about young people cursed to die before their time .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\n\u201cenjoying\u201d isn\u2019t exactly the right word , though , because as we learn from increasingly informative flashbacks , natalie and peter are in the midst of a tense separation . \u201cthe 9th life of louis drax\u201d tries to keep us on our toes through multiple perspectives and unreliable narrators , constantly challenging us to determine what\u2019s real and what\u2019s imagined . one thing that is for sure : louis went over a steep cliff that day and is now lying in a coma . the setting\u2014the craggy hills of marin county , overlooking an eerily cloud - enshrouded san francisco\u2014is one of many elements that call to mind hitchcock\u2019s oeuvre . another is the intriguingly icy presence of gadon , a blonde femme fatale clad in classic party dresses and capri pants . while natalie manages to convince everyone around her that she\u2019s a damsel in distress , there\u2019s clearly much more going on beneath her pristine surface .\nadapted by max minghella from a novel by liz jensen , the film tells the story of louis drax , a disaster - prone little boy whose latest accident \u2013 the plunging fall from a clifftop during his birthday picnic \u2013 leaves him comatose and clinging on to life . his mother natalie ( sarah gadon ) , ethereal in her grief , must also deal with the fact that it was her estranged husband , louis\u2019s stepfather peter ( aaron paul ) , who pushed him . when dishy paediatric coma specialist dr allan pascal ( jamie dornan ) takes a special interest in the case , it\u2019s as much to do with natalie\u2019s exquisite melancholy as it is with louis\u2019s injuries .\nthis film tells the story of a young boy who falls off a cliff into the sea , and subsequently fall into a coma . his father is missing , and the mother is understandably distraught . a handsome doctor tries to help them all , but things may not appear as they seem .\nthe 9th life of louis drax\nis full of surprises . it starts off like a children ' s film , then becomes romance , then fantasy , then mystery . these elements seamlessly mix into a captivating and engaging story that makes me glued to the screen . it makes me feel differently towards each character at different points of the film , which i think of indicative of how cleverly the story is constructed . the ending is a big surprise , and i would not have guessed it at all . i will be telling my friends about this great film . i really enjoyed it .\nlouis falls into a coma . when his doctor and his mother kiss , louis sits up , but quickly settles down again . following this incident , strange , threatening notes begin to appear .\nis ever -

saving action in an emergency room .\nenjoyable mystery thriller that won ' t keep you on the edge of your seat but that is still interesting to watch . i do like mysteries , it ' s one of my favorite genre of movies , and in the 9th life of louis drax i figured it all out at half of the movie . and other people will probably do as well . that could be a sign that it ' s not interesting to watch because the story is too obvious . but it isn ' t at all . even though i was practically certain what the outcome would be it remains a movie with a high likability to watch . the narrating voice of aiden longworth is pleasant to hear , even though i read that other reviewers didn ' t like it . the kid ' s character would probably not be the cutest boy to live with but in the movie it works perfectly . the rest of the cast are all a great addition to the movie . no bad words about anybody in this movie . it ' s beautifully shot , mesmerizing with the narrating voice , the twist is like i said a bit too obvious but it ' s still working . you have good movies that you will watch once , but this one is just above that and is one i would watch again in the future .\nwhat might be engrossing in liz jensen\u2019s source novel is oddly opaque in this screen mishmash , and much of what\u2019s meant to be tense or suspenseful is merely awkward . the lack of cohesion begins with the jarring shifts in max minghella\u2019s adaptation of the book , one of the optioned projects on the slate of his father , anthony minghella , when the filmmaker died in 2008 . relocating the story from provincial france , the actor - turned - screenwriter interweaves the doctor\u2019s increasingly obsessive behavior with the comatose boy\u2019s thoughts and memories , delivered via voiceover and in fantasy sequences .\n\u201cmiramax \u00ae \u201d and the \u201cmiramax\u201d logo are the registered trademarks , trademarks and service marks of miramax , llc .\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\nmiramax \u00ae\nand the\nmiramax\nlogo are the registered trademarks , trademarks and service marks of miramax , llc .\noscar \u00ae\nand\nacademy award \u00ae\nare the registered trademarks , trademarks and service marks of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences .\nafter that opening plunge off the cliff , louis ( aiden longworth ) revives in the morgue after being dead for two hours . his resurrection , and the seaweed monster occasionally lurking around his coma ward , both suggest a supernatural angle to the story . when louis ' mother natalie ( sarah gadon ) says he ' s an angel , she certainly seems to mean it literally . but a lurking , leering detective ( house of cards ' molly parker ) thinks louis is just a garden - variety child - abuse victim , especially after natalie ' s estranged husband peter ( aaron paul ) goes missing right after the cliff incident . and dr . allan pascal ( fifty shades of grey co - star jamie dornan ) writes louis ' survival off as an unusual but plausible case of pediatric hypothermia closely resembling death . that still leaves louis in a coma , though , with strange things happening around him .\nas the all - business police detective dalton ( molly parker ) leads the investigation into the cause of louis\u2019 fall , she and her team also are searching for peter , the volatile , hard - drinking dad who disappeared that day . but they must delve into the past to get a complete picture\u2014and that\u2019s where famed neurologist dr . allan pascal comes in . a ( mostly ) fully clothed jamie dornan plays pascal with understated intelligence and concern , which eventually give way to some questionable personal choices that cloud his judgment . as he uses unorthodox measures to reach louis , he gets help from the boy\u2019s therapist ( a warmly funny oliver platt ) , whom we see sparring with the impudent louis in flashback . louis is the kind of precocious , hyper - verbal kid you only see in movies ; his darkly amusing observations contrasted with longworth\u2019s sweet demeanor keep the character from being completely insufferable .\ndr . allan pascal , a psychologist , becomes determined to discover what is so special about this boy that he ' s had such bad luck . the more deeply he delves into louis ' s psyche , the more startled he becomes as what he finds seems to contradict everything he knows about reality . in cracking the mystery of louis , will he lose his mind ? trailer and release dates .\ni made the mistake of reading some reviews and almost didn ' t watch it because of the negativity shown towards the movie . certainly , the key themes are adult in nature and lend a darkness that seems at odds with the perspective of a child ' s narrative , but that helped keep some of the mystery , even though it appeared to give some reviewers a reason to dislike the movie . early in the movie i ' d a pretty good idea how the story would play out and yet the way in which it did was not predictable and kept my interest . i even liked how the\npirates of the caribbean / a monster calls\nstyle was utilised in manifesting some of the plot . to summarise this was certainly worth a watch and not as bad as some of its haters would lead you to believe .\nmoving away from his extreme - horror roots , aja ( horns , the hills have eyes ) suggests rather than depicts the story\u2019s violence . louis\u2019 disturbing confession about his pet hamsters is a notable example , and is probably the point when any viewers who still care whether he comes out of his coma are likely to stop caring . the film\u2019s fantasy elements aren\u2019t much more helpful . louis engages with a gloppy , shapeless , gruff - voiced monster , a sort of seaweed - covered cousin of groot . it\u2019s a practical effect , involving a latex suit , obtrusive rather than captivating . in a scene that couldn\u2019t be more belabored , louis and the creature tell each other a fable that connects a number of the story\u2019s dots . by contrast , a straightforward father -

( the real latif yahia is the author of the book on which \u201cthe devil\u2019s double\u201d is based , classified as a novel but incorporating his actual experiences . ) his disapproval of uday\u2019s behavior reminds us that we are also appalled \u2014 and not only titillated \u2014 by all the violence and debauchery .\nwere you looking for a retail copy of devil\u2019s third ? did you manage to get a copy , or did you decide to go digital ? share your thoughts with us in the comments .\nthe film\u2019s evocations of the traditions of \u201cscarface\u201d and \u201cthe sopranos\u201d are neither accidental nor inappropriate . the husseins did resemble a classic hollywood crime family \u2014 or at least that is how they appear in the 1980s and \u201990s , when the movie takes place . saddam ( philip quast ) is a grumpy , remote patriarch preoccupied with the daily business of tyranny . his ruthlessness at least appears to have some purpose . but the demon in \u201cthe devil\u2019s double\u201d is his son uday ( dominic cooper ) , whose waywardness is both the result of his father\u2019s absolute power and a source of irritation to the old man .\nthis $ 20m film is based on latif yahia ' s claim to have been a body double for uday hussein . but his story doesn ' t add up\nba : i think the whole album is soaked in tjinder\u2019s sensibilities , especially in the production on the drums and bass and how the instrumentation is worked out . that\u2019s a massive element to the record .\nhis virtuosity is not quite enough to lift \u201cthe devil\u2019s double\u201d above its self - imposed limitations . the movie is provocative but rarely thought - provoking , and it stops short of any startling psychological or political insight . but it has its hands on an astonishing story , a tale of horrifying excess that it tells with invigorating and perhaps unseemly enthusiasm .\nevil exists . there are people on this planet who live without moral compass or boundaries , men who feed on hate and terror . for years uday hussein , son of dictator saddamn hussein , wreaked his own personal brand of horror on the people of iraq and now director lee tamahori has brought that malevolence to a personal level with the devil\u2019s double .\nthe double o groove is instantly recongisable as a cornershop album as are all of your albums , but this one\u2019s a bit different as it doesn\u2019t have the immediacy of tjinder\u2019s voice on it . can you break down for me , who does what on this ?\nmany of the problems with \u201cthe devil\u2019s double\u201d stem from the nature of its narrative . clearly produced for an english - speaking audience , the movie adopts an illogical method in which characters speak english with vaguely defined \u201cforeign\u201d accents . that unfortunate decision only enhances a synthetic quality that dominates each scene . cooper\u2019s dual role is an equally transparent gimmick : the men look , unsurprisingly , like twins . the contrast provides a constant reminder that cooper works better with soft - spoken characters and not poorly scripted \u201csnl\u201d characterizations .\nhis acts sickened even his murderous father saddam and , for five years , latif yahia was his \u201cfiday\u201d \u2013 his double , catching bullets meant for iraq\u2019s most despised man .\na once -

but i would say that that experience of evangelism training and being responsible for the film , and for a person\u2019s soul , was dramatic , \u201d he says today .\nthe restless ones marked a number of turning points in the history of world wide pictures . at a time when hollywood films were becoming increasingly risqu\u00e9 \u2014 the industry\u2019s morality code was abandoned and replaced with the current ratings system just a few years later , in 1968 \u2014 it became the first billy graham movie to be shown in regular theatres .\nwayman , now a pastor and a film critic for the cinema in focus website , admits that one of the reasons he wanted to work on this particular evangelistic team was because it would allow him to step inside a movie theatre . \u201cfree methodists , at that point in our denomination , were not allowed to go to movies , \u201d he says . \u201cit wasn\u2019t a written rule , but it was kind of a social thing . for me , it was kind of like tasting the turkish delight . \u201d\nthe film also marked a passing of the torch , so to speak , between two generations of christian filmmakers \u2014 the creative forces who had guided world wide pictures in its early days , and those who would lead the ministry to some of its greatest successes .\nthe first dramatic film ross directed for world wide pictures was mr . texas , produced during the fort worth crusade in 1951 . it was followed by oiltown , u . s . a . ( 1954 ) , in which the climactic billy graham sermon is delivered not at a crusade but through a television broadcast ; souls in conflict ( 1955 ) , set during the london crusade in 1954 ; the heart is a rebel ( 1958 ) , set during the new york crusade in 1957 ; and shadow of the boomerang ( 1960 ) , set during the australia crusades in 1959 .\nall of these films concern characters who at first are skeptical of the claims of christianity , openly living sinful lives , or sincerely looking for answers to their questions about the deeper meaning of life ; and in the end , most of these characters come to christ \u2014 assisted perhaps by the witness of friends or family , and usually after hearing graham preach .\nbarry werner , director of operations at world wide from 1992 to 2004 , says their approach to these films was inspired by graham\u2019s technique of beginning his own sermons with quotes from local newspapers and celebrities . \u201che would become one of the community , which would give people a starting place to hear the gospel , \u201d says werner . \u201cwith the movies , he could do that dramatically . they were with him when the gospel was shared . \u201d\nthese early films were made to be shown at churches and similar venues . but by the mid - 1960s , world wide was making a serious effort to produce films that would be shown in regular theatres and be taken just as seriously as regular hollywood films .\nwhile distribution was still handled from the billy graham evangelistic association\u2019s headquarters in minneapolis , world wide had its own sound stages and post - production facilities in burbank , california \u2014 just one block away from the walt disney studio .\nmuch of their artistic direction over the next two decades came from james f . collier , who wrote the screenplay for the restless ones and directed many of the films that followed . in his films , he often looked for ways to push beyond the billy graham \u201cformula . \u201d\ntwo a penny ( 1967 ) stars british pop legend \u2014 and committed christian \u2014 cliff richard as a would - be drug dealer who is hostile toward his girlfriend\u2019s newfound faith , and whose salvation , at the end , is still an open question . for pete\u2019s sake ( 1968 ) puts the crusade at the beginning of the story , and then explores , with self - deprecating humor , the hurdles that a newly saved family must overcome as it puts its faith into practice .\nthe studio\u2019s greatest success , on many levels , was the hiding place ( 1975 ) , based on the autobiographical best seller by corrie ten boom , whose dutch family was split up and sent to concentration camps for hiding jews in their home during world war ii . the film has the look and feel of an epic , and it has a gritty realism that few other christian films have matched . jeannette clift , who played ten boom , was nominated for golden globe and bafta awards , and there were rumors that the academy considered her , too .\nthis was followed by joni ( 1979 ) , in which joni eareckson \u2014 the quadriplegic victim of a diving accident \u2014 re - enacted her own life story . bob buck , an electronics engineer who was involved with his church\u2019s audio - visual program in trumbull , connecticut , served the bgea as a \u201ctheatre manager\u201d during this era , and he estimates he saw joni 29 times .\n\u201cthey were packed houses always , \u201d he recalls . the bgea booked theatres in advance , and gave buck \u201cgreat big boxes of tickets\u201d to distribute to churches and other groups ; admission was free , but the tickets were needed to ensure that the theatres were not over - crowded .\nbuck says the bgea also avoided showing its films in the multiplexes that were springing up around that time , \u201cbecause they didn\u2019t want to have competing crowds in the lobbies . \u201d\nevangelism techniques had changed by then , too , buck notes . \u201cin those early movies , after the movie was over , there was a guy at the front of the theatre who gave an invitation \u2014 but by the time they got to the hiding place they had stopped doing that , so a clip was added to the end of the movie with billy graham addressing the audience , \u201d he says .\nsometimes , materials explaining christianity were handed out to audience members ; these included response cards that were mailed directly to bgea headquarters in minneapolis .\ncollier , who passed away in 1991 , directed three more films for world wide pictures : the prodigal ( 1983 ) , which marked the first time that graham himself took part in the dramatic action , even if it was only in one scene ; cry from the mountain ( 1985 ) , set in alaska ; and caught ( 1987 ) , the last of which was world wide\u2019s first \u2014 and so far only \u2014 film to be rated pg - 13 , because it dealt with drug addiction and male prostitution in amsterdam .\nby then , changes in the broader culture and in the distribution of films had caught up with world wide pictures . churches were planning their own big events , and many stopped having sunday night services , where some of these films had been shown . there was less demand for 16mm films , and most churches did not yet have video projectors . world wide sold off its burbank studio , and focused on making films for the tv and direct - to - video market , which people could watch with their friends in their own living rooms .\nwerner recalls some of the challenges world wide faced as it looked for independent contractors who could produce good , watchable , evangelistic films . some producers objected to the studio\u2019s basic formula . \u201cthey\u2019d say , \u2018cinematically , that doesn\u2019t work . billy graham preaching on screen doesn\u2019t work . \u2019 well , hello , who\u2019s paying for this ? so we had a challenge to come up with independent producers and still have an evangelistic event . \u201d\nthe other challenge world wide faced was how to adhere to its formula without making its films too similar . all of their films had to show a person\u2019s \u201clost condition\u201d or \u201cfatal flaw , \u201d the sufficiency of god , the person\u2019s decision to follow christ , and evidence of a change in the person\u2019s life after he or she makes that decision .\n\u201cnow if you have that criteria for every movie you produce , oh my goodness that would be boring , \u201d says werner . \u201cthey\u2019d all be clones and that would be boring . \u201d\nthe solution world wide found ? to make each film in a different genre . \u201cif you make a western and you make a love story and you make a comedy and you make an action film , they look different just by the nature of how they\u2019re produced , \u201d says werner .\n\u201cwe also tried to find different writers for every single movie , and in most cases we tried to find a different director for each film \u2014 and by doing that , you change the way the movie is lit , you change the camera angles , and the films look totally different . \u201d\nin addition , as graham got older , there were less opportunities to base entire films around crusades ; so instead , graham\u2019s preaching was often heard on the radio or seen on television . occasionally , his son franklin even stepped in to do the preaching .\nsome of these films had limited theatrical releases ; most were shown on national television in the quarterly time slot that normally went to one of graham\u2019s crusade broadcasts .\nthe ride ( 1997 ) , a cowboy movie starring michael biehn , was one of the first to be shown this way , and \u201cit actually drew a bigger crowd than if dr . graham had been speaking on tv , \u201d says werner . \u201cit had slightly higher decision results . it was good enough that it was determined that we would produce one movie every year that would do a limited theatrical release , and then it would go on television as part of the billy graham television series . \u201d\nthis was followed by : a vow to cherish ( 1999 ) , a love story about middle - aged empty nesters coping with mental illness ; something to sing about ( 2000 ) , an \u201curban\u201d film about an african - american ex - con who joins a church choir ; road to redemption ( 2001 ) , a comedy about a woman who gets in trouble with the mob ; the climb ( 2002 ) , an adventure film about a clash of personalities in the andes mountains ; and last flight out ( 2004 ) , about a pilot who rescues a latin american mission from a villainous drug lord .\nin 2003 , world wide moved with the rest of the bgea to charlotte , north carolina . world wide manager larry bower says there are no films \u201cin the hopper\u201d right now , but they are looking at releasing more of their older films on dvd and selling them to churches in packages that would include promotional materials and response cards . \u201cfor us , \u201d he says , \u201cthe really important thing with the dvd is the broad reach that we can have with it . \u201d\nbilly graham movies have had a mixed reception over the years . some christians have appreciated them for expressing the gospel in new ways , and for avoiding the sensationalistic tactics associated with , say , end - times movies . others have criticized the films for cheating dramatically and sticking too closely to their evangelistic formula .\ncheryl forbes , reviewing time to run ( 1973 ) for christianity today , said the film failed in its attempts to be \u201cwith it , \u201d and she had a mixed response to the scene in which the unsaved main characters turn off their tv set or drive away from the stadium parking lot when they hear billy graham\u2019s altar call . \u201cthis realistic touch does not entirely compensate for the contrived effect of introducing the crusade scenes in the first place , \u201d she wrote .\nsimilarly , in a review of the prodigal for the same magazine , harry cheney praised the \u201clush photography\u201d and \u201csuperlative cast\u201d but took issue with the film\u2019s reluctance to flesh out the title character : \u201cit is a sanctified view of sin that doesn\u2019t always ring true . he remains an object lesson viewed from the outside . \u201d he also took issue with the conclusion at the crusade . \u201can encounter with christ should propel the action , not end it , \u201d he wrote .\nothers say the films have proved their worth , through the number of people who have come to christ after seeing them . guy dowd , author of molder of dreams and winner of the national teacher of the year award in 1986 , has traced his conversion to a screening of the restless ones that he attended when he was a student ; so has kathie lee gifford .\nover 120 , 000 conversions were reported in connection with that film within a year of its release , and world wide pictures claims on its website that over two million decisions have been recorded altogether , as a result of people watching their films .\nas collier said in 1983 , \u201ca friend who saw time to run said , \u2018there are holes in the story , jim . \u2019 but as a result of that production , over 400 , 000 people indicated some sort of first - time commitment to christ and have been contacted by the billy graham follow - up offices . that\u2019s what makes it all meaningful and gives purpose to what we attempt to do . \u201d\nwerner credits graham with having the vision to recognize the power of film to spread the gospel at a time when many would have preferred to avoid the medium altogether .\n\u201cthis whole thing is based on his vision , \u201d he says . \u201cnone of this was created by some manager with some idea ; dr . graham put wheels on that . i would attribute every decision , whether dr . graham preached in person or commissioned a film , to dr . graham . he was trusted by the church . when we made calls , doors would open for us . \u201d\naugust 23 , 2005 billy graham ' s top five / a handful of world wide pictures films worth watching .\ninterestingly , the director of this film , andrew hyatt , previously directed a movie called full of . . .\njoey , ya like movies about gladiators ? personally , i ' d like to see a biblical movie that casts . . .\nand not to mention that a lot of these movies are not originally 1 . 33 display . . .\ni ' m still hoping that it ' s released in the us this year . hoping the same for . . .\nreview : are we there yet ?

late variety celeb lifestyle monthly , v life .\nin one conversation , he ruined our afternoon : six months after leaving reed business information , he\u2019s launching \u2013 gasp ! \u2013 a competitor to fishbowlla \u2013 the cunningly - christened \u201chollywood wiretap\u201d \u2013 designed to simultaneously exploit both the anthony pellicano scandal and the people searching the web for it . get it ? tom tapp ? wire tap ?\nof course , tom , tells us , it\u2019s much more than a pelican news site , and its not a blog . it\u2019s meant to be \u201cmatt drudge , but for hollywood . \u201d tom has experience with that sort of pace , too : he was a wire - hanger for e ! online for years before joining variety .\nnaturally , we wish him the best of luck \u2013 even as we plot a denial - of - service attack against him .\n\u201ctry to look inconspicuous\u201d was the cryptic advice given to us in an email from the creators of monument . the group of people milling around at 8 : 45 pm wired into their headphones , in a nearly deserted station , and tried to look nonchalant but appeared anything but . once the audio started , it was clear that everyone there was in for something out of the ordinary . part play , part interactive experience , monument takes even the most hardened londoners on a trip that will open their eyes to a familiar city and leave them considering the faces they pass by every day in a new light .\nafter meeting at a secret location revealed only on the morning of the performance , viewers race across the city , pausing by some of its most famous landmarks as the audio draws them in to the secret lives of those around them . after about ten minutes , you are drawn into a world in which you can\u2019t quite decide who is part of the play and who is not . whilst at times this element is a little overstated at the expense of developing a real plot , it does give you something to think about , questioning the \u2018big brother\u2019 style surveillance of the city .\nthese moments of contemplation about a surveillance state , individuals within the masses that flood london\u2019s streets , and our country\u2019s sometimes less - than - welcoming attitude to newcomers flowed somewhat strangely into a walk across the city in search of a cowboy\u2026 but , as the spaghetti western style music starts up suddenly london isn\u2019t your city , it\u2019s your setting . plugged into your headphones you feel as though you too are a player in the monument game - however , what the point of the game is never quite becomes clear .\nthis clever and immersive idea certainly allows you to see london in a new light , and the whisky passed around at the end creates a convivial atmosphere as though you are all fugitives , fighting against the surveillance state and reclaiming the overpopulated streets of the capital . public space becomes a private playground through the intimacy of listening to stories unfold through your headphones , and the bustle of surrounding street noise alongside the puzzled faces of passersby , which only adds to the atmosphere of discovery . engaging as the medium is , monument could perhaps benefit from a more clear thread of storyline ; although the sporadic snippets of life are key to its charm , you are left questioning a little what it was all for .\nat just \u00a310 a ticket , monument is a unique experience , definitely worth a go this summer \u2013 you\u2019ll never see the anonymous faces of london in quite the same way again .\nfran scott on twitter :\nwould highly recommend this . the plot is weak , but the idea behind it and the quality of the sound is pure genius : urltoken\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\nyou can add location information to your tweets , such as your city or precise location , from the web and via third -

281 - 4114 .\nthe goethe - institut chicago and the facets cin\u00e9math\u00e8que are very proud to present a selected retrospective of films by werner schroeter , the renown german filmmaker and theater director who passed away in 2010 at the age of 65 . he directed 41 films and numerous stage plays and is undoubtedly one of german cinema ' s most important artists . however , schroeter was never fully appreciated as a part of the seminal movement which became known as the new german cinema , mostly due to the experimental nature of his filmmaking . in contrast to his contemporaries r . w . fassbinder , wim wenders , and volker schl\u00f6ndorff , schroeter spent the first phase of his career making 8mm shorts and television films . by the time he made his first feature ,\n( 1972 ) , the new german cinema had already firmly established its reputation at home and abroad .\nwhile the star directors of the new german cinema used their visibility to make realist films about recent german history , schroeter ' s filmmaking , for much of the 1970s , oscillated between avant - garde essay films and documentaries . although his contribution to german cinema during this period was crucial , his avant - garde sensibility unfairly placed him on the outskirts of the new german cinema . his marginal status led to the inconsistent distribution of schroeter ' s films , a state of affairs which sadly remains true today . it was not until his international 1980 art house success ,\n\u0097 the grippingly realist story of an italian immigrant worker ' s fate in germany \u0097 that schroeter gained the international acclaim he has long deserved . no less admiring was the french philosopher michel foucault , who wrote that\nwhat schroeter does with a face , a cheekbone , the lips , the expression of the eyes . . . is a multiplying and burgeoning of the body , an exultation .\nthis program was made possible by the goethe -

in the way money and beautiful women and fast cars look more exciting than good police work . the screenplay , by dick wolf , is subtle in the way it develops its temptations for sweeney . he is seduced by sheen ' s style and flash . and sheen creates his character as a very complicated young man . true , he ' s rich , and doesn ' t need to steal and kill . but like the members of that billionaire boy ' s club out in los angeles , he is attracted to risk . and eventually he gets way in over his head .\nyou ' re not going native , are you ?\nhe asks . he ' s right ; the kid hasn ' t been on the force long enough to develop good police instincts , and he falls under the influence of the charismatic sheen . that leads him into a no man ' s land , halfway between the criminals and the law , and as he tries to do the right thing and juggle his conflicting loyalties , a tragic situation begins to develop .\nno man ' s land [ import ] : urltoken charlie sheen , d . b . sweeney , lara harris , randy quaid , bill duke , r . d . call , arlen dean snyder , m . emmet walsh , al shannon , bernie pock , kenny endoso , james f . kelly , peter werner , dick wolf , jack behr , joseph stern , ron howard , sandy kroopf , tony ganz : dvd\nant -

[ note 3 ] [ 2 ]\nletty is introduced as dom ' s girlfriend and they have been friends since childhood . although , letty expresses some concern about dominic ' s carjacking scheme she participates in every robbery . she is seen at race wars where she races and beats a fellow racer . in the end , during a botched highway robbery , she rolls her car and is injured but is saved by leon and survives .\nwe ' ll let off brian for knowing how to handle himself in a gunfight or actual fight , as he was a cop and later an fbi agent . but what about dom and letty ?\nit was very cool to bring [ motherhood ] to the series once i was a mom myself . i actually played a mom before becoming a mom and i kind of got it , but not really . then , the minute i had julian i really understood . when i shot the scene with jack and he\u2019s in the car and there\u2019s this massive explosion , everything became so much more visceral , the stakes became so much higher , so it\u2019s really fun to bring that element to the series . now , she\u2019s a mom of two because in furious 7 mia told brian she\u2019s pregnant with a little girl .\nhowever , letty is not killed by the explosion . gisele yashar , an employee of braga , brings the wounded and amnesiac letty to the hospital . she was found two days later in the hospital , by owen shaw who had went there to kill her . however when he determined that she had no memory of her previous life , he decided she would be a good member on his team .\nso , before heading back for seconds , hit the brakes as we hunt down the answers to some of the fate of the furious\u2019 most nagging queries , direct from the horse ( power ) \u2019s mouth .\nafter the first film , undercover cop brian ( paul walker ) betrayed his fellow boys in blue by allowing dom ( vin diesel ) to escape . in doing so , he became something of a fugitive himself .\npilot ian hollingworth told the bbc that the cars were travelling at an average speed of 120mph , making that two miles per minute . even if some of the action sequences were happening at the same time , the runway would be around 18 - 20 miles long . that ' s nearly a whole marathon right there .\nso , yeah , was dom a little guilty for doing that ? he let deckard shaw into his family for doing a lot worse . ok , fenix almost killed brian too , but still . justice for fenix !\n\u201cto me , it\u2019s the equivalent of run dmc doing their first track with aerosmith , \u201d rodriguez exclaimed while reclining inside a luxury trailer parked at dodger stadium . \u201cthat\u2019s how i feel we did in hollywood ! didn\u2019t expect to make a splash , didn\u2019t think we\u2019d be around for long\u2014 booyakasha ! we ain\u2019t going nowhere . \u201d\nthe crazy stunts . the ripe dialogue . the huge box office . the comraderie . as fast & furious 8 comes roaring down the road , here ' s our film - by - film guide to the franchise so far\n\u2022 this was the most expensive film in the series so far . the train heist sequence alone cost $ 25 million to make , and involved buying a stretch of railway in mexico and an actual train to blow up .\nthe fate of the furious is the first film in a new trilogy . it is known . franchise star vin diesel and long - time writer chris morgan have been trotting out that exact verbiage in interviews over the last few weeks , making it clear that the events of fate will pay off in the ninth and tenth films . so now that we\u2019ve all had a chance to see the movie ( at least judging by those box office returns ) , let\u2019s take a look at the end of fate and what it sets up for the furious films to come .\nbest action sequence ( s ) : there are so many to choose from here , but the heist chase which sees dom and brian drag a huge bank vault along the streets of rio is as joyful as it is nonsensical .\ndom actually bests hobbs ( johnson ) in a fight in fast five , letty beats ufc champion ronda rousey in 7 , and they both know how to handle all the guns in the world by 8 . dom is so hard , that cipher decides he ' s the only man in the world that can handle stealing a nuclear football from the russians in broad daylight , jack bauer - style . there must be something in the los angeles water .\nletty tells him she needs some air and goes out . she is found by dom and a race . the two race , and letty , intrigued by dominic , tells him to follow her . they meet up , and dom tells her that he knows\neverything\nabout her . he begins explaining the scars she has on her and how she got them . he also gives her the famous cross necklace . she grows emotional and leaves .\nmirren : one of the strong themes in the fast and the furious [ movies ] has always been family , that family is important . i think that\u2019s one of the reasons they\u2019re popular films , because that is the one element that everybody all over the world can identify with simply , easily , and directly , so it\u2019s great to see this other level being brought in with the different generations of the family , the fact that family actually goes on through many generations over long periods of time . i thought that that was a nice thing to introduce into the storyline .\nso where in that timeline did they get married ? based on some of those flashbacks\u2014and the timing of it all\u2014it would have to have been during los bandoleros . in other words , they got married between the first and fourth films .\nuncle claude comes to the ardmore beach hotel to see tommy and his wife . at the hotel , with his two granddaughters ruth and sally , uncle claude meets a wise talking employee named letty . . . see full summary \u00bb\nanother quip , uttered by letty , speaking of tommy : \u201che\u2019s not very much to look at , judge , but he does lend atmosphere in the home ! he lends more sphere than atmos , but i like him . \u201d\n\u201ci just don\u2019t do that ; i\u2019m not that girl , you know what i mean ? they\u2019ll probably have to kill letty . again , \u201d she laughed . \u201cthey\u2019d have to kill her again cos she\u2019s no nanny . sorry \u2026\nfun fact : the setting of fast five is foreshadowed in the beginning of fast & furious when letty tells dom , \u201ci hear rio is good this time of year , \u201d while the pair ponder where to escape to next .\nloftin rigged the truck with a dead clutch so the 18 - wheeler could drive without anyone behind the wheel . spielberg filmed the crash with seven cameras from multiple angles to be able to use some editing tricks to stretch out the scene .\nletty was also a capable fighter . she easily punched a security guard to the floor when they tried to stop dominic from attacking tran and also overwlemed several security guards at a party . she also held her own against trained fighter kara ; they were so evenly matched that their fight ended in a draw when they crashed over a balcony and smashed through a table , both too dazed to keep fighting . she did struggle against riley during their fight in the subway , letty being overwelmed , barely preventing the women from handcuffing her to a pole and narrowly escaped an arm lock imposed on her . she did manage to tackle her down a flight of steps though , recovering fast enough to escape as riley was disorientated .\nbut as each movie has gone on they , along with the likes of roman ( tyrese gibson ) , tej ( ludacris ) and han , have become so adept at fist fights and weapons training that they might as well be james bond .\nnathalie emmanuel : the thing i like about ramsey is that she\u2019s an extremely talented hacker and she\u2019s very intelligent and a problem solver . there\u2019s a stigma about women in [ technological ] types of industries or in those types of jobs and i think that it\u2019s really cool that ramsey is so good at what she does . in a way , that character breaks certain stereotypes and also how you might perceive somebody who is into that kind of thing might look or how they might dress or how they might be as a person . i think that she is a normal girl who just so happens to be quite skilled at computers , hacking , coding , and all of that fun stuff . i think that\u2019s a really cool thing that she represents within the franchise , and i also like that she\u2019s sort of independent of this family that\u2019s been established for so long . she\u2019s come in purely on her own merit and her own specific skillset and it\u2019s useful to this group and what they do . as much as she\u2019s become a part of the group , she\u2019s come in independently and i quite enjoy that .\nelsa pataky : it\u2019s beautiful and really sad because i\u2019m a mom too and it\u2019s so difficult to see that story , how it started and how it ends . i think any mom in the world would sacrifice her life for the life of her son . it\u2019s such a big love , and it\u2019s so intense , all the scenes that she has with dom . she\u2019s a police officer , so knows the power of this woman that charlize plays , how dangerous the situation is . she\u2019s suffering and thinking about that helped me a lot with the scene because it breaks my heart . she knew something would happen to [ their son ] if [ dom ] wouldn\u2019t do whatever [ cipher ] wanted . that\u2019s what she focused on \u2014 just save our son .\nletty , dominic and his new crew hijack a truck in the dominican republic narrowly escaping . after dom leaves her she goes to fbi agent brian o - connor to clear dom ' s name in order for him to return home . brian consequently puts letty undercover with arturo braga as a driver running drugs over the us - mexico border . however , after the job is complete she realizes that the leader of the team , fenix calderon , intends to murder the drivers : she escapes in her car .\nin furious 7 , when letty regains her memory , we get a flash of the couple\u2019s wedding day , and we see how they wrapped the necklace around their hands when they said their vows . suddenly , it all makes sense . well , most of it .\ndirector f . gary gray has said the movie\u2019s opening sequence \u2014 in which dom and letty\u2019s cuban honeymoon is interrupted by a drag race through the streets of havana \u2014 wouldn\u2019t have happened without former president barack obama \u201csoftening the relations\u201d between the us and its southern neighbour .\nafter the reveal , some fans are probably left wondering when dom and letty tied the knot . considering the twisted timeline of the fast and furious series , any confusion is certainly understandable . so here\u2019s how the movies break down chronologically , in terms of story : the fast and the furious , 2 fast 2 furious , los bandoleros ( vin diesel\u2019s short film ) , fast & furious , fast five , fast & furious 6 , the fast and the furious : tokyo drift , and then furious 7 ( or rather , furious seven ) .\nwith filmmaker edgar wright , spielberg explained , \u201c [ producer ] george eckstein told me after the network saw it , \u2018well , we\u2019re going back to the desert , they want to push the truck off the cliff again and blow it up again . ' i told george why that was such a terrible idea . i\u2019d worked so hard to give the truck a long and painful death and i thought that\u2019s what the audience wanted out of the resolution . i said , \u2018if the network does force you to blow the truck up again , you get another director to do it because i\u2019m not going to do it . ' george fought for me , and for himself because he agreed with me . \u201d\n\u201che was a real fucking dude with a big - ass heart . like , fuck talking about doing shit for people , i\u2019m going to go out there and start a charity . hands first . i love that boy so much . we weren\u2019t thinking about anything else , man . \u201d\nthe movie debuted on november 13 , 1971 as abc\u2019s movie of the week , and proved to be so successful that spielberg was given the opportunity to shoot additional footage ( the school bus scene and the railroad crossing scene ) to be able to release it in theaters at feature length .\ndirector rob cohen modeled the film\u2019s third act chases through the los angeles hills on similar san francisco - set scenes in the 1968 car - chase classic bullitt , starring steve mcqueen . cohen loved the movie so much that he cast actor paul walker because he thought he resembled bullitt \u2019s lead actor .\nleticia\nletty\nortiz is the wife of dominic toretto , sister in - law to mia toretto , and the stepmother of brian marcos . a protagonist in the fast and the furious franchise , letty ortiz is the childhood sweetheart of dominic toretto , turned street racer , mechanic and thief . when she volunteered to go undercover to expose arturo braga for the fbi , she was nearly killed and suffered from temporary amnesia as a result . she was later reunited with her family when luke hobbs of the diplomatic security service recruited the likes of dominic toretto and his crew to stop owen shaw .\n\u2022 after the opening sequence , han says he\u2019s planning to go to tokyo \u2013 a reference to his fiery destiny as revealed in tokyo drift . he doesn\u2019t go yet , and keeps promising to go to tokyo for the next two instalments . he finally does so at the end of fast & furious 6 .\nafter all , nothing is sadder than a film franchise that should have ended several installments ago . just ask \u201cdie hard , \u201d \u201clethal weapon , \u201d \u201cthe expendables , \u201d or even \u201cindiana jones . \u201d it would be so sad to see an arthritic dom slide behind the wheel of the latest muscle car .\nletty became involved in street racing in her teens . when she was fifteen years old , she participated in a street race against dominic which resulted in both of their cars crashing . she managed to pull dominic from the wreck of his car , almost losing her arm in the process . [ 3 ]\nah , the classic\ndamn , we shouldn ' t have killed that character off\nproblem . after vin and the guys realised they wanted michelle rodriguez back in the team after letty died in fast & furious , they had to come up with a way of bringing her back from the dead .\nagainst the odds and studio convention , 2001\u2019s the fast and the furious went on to spawn six more supercharged sequels , making stars of its actors . and long before paul walker\u2019s tragic death in 2013 , that cast had become a family both onscreen and off , attracting a loyal and emotionally invested fan following around a hollywood anomaly : the multicultural blockbuster film franchise . now more than ever , rodriguez feels the responsibility of repping the streets from inside the party .\nmia : letty grew up just down the street . she was into cars since she was like ten years old . dom always had her attention . then she turned sixteen . . . brian : and she had dom ' s attention . mia : yeah , it ' s funny how that works out .\nnaturally a success like this needed a sequel . so what if vin diesel wasn\u2019t available ? 2 fast 2 furious arrived in 2003 and introduced roman pearce ( played by tyrese gibson ) . tej ( aka ludacris ) is also in the film along with eva mendes . really , those are the most important plot points right there .\nfor years now , fans have watched dom risk his life to hold onto letty\u2019s cross necklace . but why ? just because it reminds him of her ? well , now we know : it\u2019s because they\u2019re married , and have been for some time ! as for the necklace , we learned that it\u2019s their version of wedding rings .\nend credit sequence : han\u2019s death from tokyo drift is caused by jason statham\u2019s character , deckard shaw , the brother of luke evans ' furious 6 villain , owen shaw ( who previously mentioned his brother in the scene where he confronts dom after his street race with letty ) , which leads directly into the plot of furious 7 .\nthe performances from the entire cast are great , particularly the central foursome of letty , grace , tom , and harry . at times very exaggerated , the performances work because they suit the film\u2019s outrageous mood . and though exaggerated , the performances are still very natural in the sense that the characters seem real and the dialogue isn\u2019t stiffly delivered .\nnow , if you still haven\u2019t watched los bandoleros , it\u2019s the short film that vin diesel wrote and directed in order to explain what dom had been up to after leaving brian\u2014and the country\u2014in the first film . in it , dom and letty reunite in the dominican republic , which is where we find them at the start of fast & furious .\nso ahead of the debut of furious 7 , take a look back at all the fun facts surrounding the making of the movie , including who originally wanted out of the first film , the actor who asked for a role in the franchise after it became a big hit , and the easter egg that connects the worlds of fast & furious and herbie .\nthe harrowing sequence was originally supposed to be the ending of fast five , and got so far into the production process of that movie that is was storyboarded and pre - visualized before being scrapped for budgetary reasons . the leftover storyboards and pre - viz were simply grafted on to furious 6 and updated to account for new characters and the new movie\u2019s plot .\nthe premise has high potential for hilarity and it fully lives up to that potential , which has been pretty rare in my viewing of comedies from any era . so often films in this genre seem promising , only to fall flat due to bad casting or a poor script . ( still , when done right , it is one of my favorite genres . )\nthe logistics of the vault heist were so difficult that , like the train sequence , the scene was almost scrapped entirely . to portray a large vault being dragged by diesel and walker\u2019s characters on - screen , six separate vaults were built to accommodate certain shots that were needed , including a full - size vault and a lightweight vault that could be easily towed .\ndear universal , vin diesel , & family , a plea . after eight films and $ 4 . 4 billion and counting , it\u2019s time for the \u201cfast and the furious\u201d series to eye the exit ramp . i\u2019m not saying you have to send dom toretto into the great garage in the sky without giving him and letty and hobbs and the [ \u2026 ]\nit was also the first time in eight years that diesel , walker , and jordana brewster had appeared on - screen together as their characters since the first film . though michelle rodriguez returned as letty ortiz , diesel is the only original cast member she shares screen time with , because her character ( allegedly ) dies off - screen after the opening sequence .\nluke hobbs is sitting at his desk at the dss offices when u . s . customs agent , monica fuentes , presents him with a file on a heist committed in berlin . attached to the file is a photograph of letty [ note 5 ] suggesting that not only is she alive but she is involved in large - scale criminal activity . [ 4 ]\nwhen dominic discovers vince has associated himself with hernan reyes after attempting to steal the device in the gt40 . dominic accuses vince of betrayal , but vince defends his character , and makes a point to say that dominic ' s failure to listen to him about brian o ' conner resulted in the loss of their home , family and the death of letty . [ 4 ]\nwho could have ever thought that the fast and the furious , a 2001 film about illegal street racing and michelle rodriguez\u2019s lack of facial expressions , would grow into such a mega success ? this is a series that has gone from being need for speed : underground the movie to kill bill but with cars and now involves charlize theron with a submarine in wintery landscapes . how in the world did we get this far ? more importantly , what various plot twists should you be aware before watching the fate of the furious , the eighth film in the long - running saga ?\nhowever , she is chased by calderon who manages to flip her car leaving her injured in the wreckage . as calderon approaches intending to shoot her , he instead shoots and blows up the car after letty crawled out of it . the explosion throws her into the underbrush , and calderon leaves her for dead . brian was left to assume that she had died as did dominic and mia .\nin order to have the real actors behind the wheel of cars going upwards of 80 to 100 miles per hour , a special rig was built by second unit director and stunt coordinator mic rodgers that the filmmakers dubbed the \u201cmic rig . \u201d it consisted of a high - powered truck with a long chassis in the back on which the bodies of the custom cars in the movie could be interchanged . a stunt driver drove the high - speed truck while the actors were behind the wheel of the dummy car in back , which made it look like they were really driving at dangerous speeds .\nthe film also has some visual interest . some of letty\u2019s costumes have really odd details to them \u2014 an asymmetrical hat , a jacket adorned by an enormous bow that\u2019s half her size . ( see the video below for a look at that outfit . ) in the beauty parlor scenes , though they are few , the old hair / makeup / spa contraptions are fun to see as well .\n\u201cthey\u2019re not going to bring your mum in unless there\u2019s something down the line . there\u2019s so much opportunity for what we can understand about where the shaw family is really from , what they\u2019re really capable of . . . i don\u2019t want to spoil what they\u2019ve got coming , but they\u2019ve got some really good stuff coming . that would include helen and , obviously . . . i\u2019m not gonna say anything ! \u201d\nso , how come everyone in tokyo drift is using flip phones and other gadgets that are nearly 10 years old ? the last time we checked , tokyo is pretty ahead of the curve with this kind of stuff . plus , how come sean ( lucas black ) has aged about 9 years in between scenes after dom shows up ? there ' s some weird timey - wimey voodoo at work here , clearly .\nrodriguez sat out the second and third films , she says , after diesel opted out . but when the studio and filmmakers floated the idea of bringing the gang back together as the franchise was rebirthed under director justin lin , letty ortiz gave fans two of their biggest surprises\u2014a shocking offscreen demise in 2009\u2019s fast & furious , and a cathartic return from the dead in the closing moments of 2011\u2019s fast five .\nchronologically , the film segues into the fast and the furious from 2009 . letty is dead ( like , totes , for real ) , having worked with a drug dealer named braga and paid with her life . dom is determined to find her killer and brian is somehow working for the fbi ( and falling for dom\u2019s sister mia ) again . in the midst of all this , a convoluted plan is cooked up to have dom and brian serve as braga\u2019s drivers . lo and behold , however , letty was working undercover with brian . following some unnecessary twists and turns , braga is finally apprehended . though brian tries to gain clemency for dom , the latter is sentenced to jail for 25 years . psych ! brian and mia in fact free dom because this franchise just has to keep going . next stop : rio !\nso , a little retconning was needed by the time fast & furious 6 rolled around . it turns out she was alive all this time ! not only is this a silly plot twist ( if this happened in real life it would have at least made the news ) , but she just magically got back her memories for no apparent reason at the end of furious 7 . why ? don ' t worry about it .\nafter the lobotomy rage hit american shores , dr . walter freeman took to traveling the country in his\nlobotomobile\n\u009d ( no , really ) , performing the technique on everyone from catatonic schizophrenics to disaffected housewives . his road - ready procedure involved inserting a small ice pick into the brain through the eye socket and wiggling it around a bit . while some doctors thought he ' d found a way to save hopeless cases from the horrors of life - long institutionalization , others noted that freeman didn ' t bother with sterile techniques , had no surgical training whatsoever , and tended to be a bit imprecise when describing his patients ' recovery .\noriginally the tank sequence was supposed to take place in the streets of london , and the production planned to re - create 12 city blocks on a soundstage to shoot what they needed ( london city officials wouldn\u2019t grant the production access to city roads because the olympics were happening at the same time they shot the movie , so most of the street scenes were shot in glasgow , scotland as a stand - in for the uk capital ) .\ntommy\u2019s uncle claude ( claude gillingwater ) , a millionaire , comes to town for a visit . he and his granddaughters , flapper girls ruth ( marion byron ) and sally ( helen foster ) , are staying at the posh beach hotel where letty\u2019s salon is . not knowing who claude or the girls are , she tries to sell them salon services . claude takes an instant dislike to her , not realizing she\u2019s married to tommy .\nwhen she arrives back to shaw ' s lair , he questions her to see if she remembers dom at all , to which she says she doesn ' t . later , she meets up with dom ' s team again , when going to investigate a phone call made by the man who made special vehicles for them . a shoot out ensues , in which her team mate , ivory , is killed by gisele . letty tries to escape through the subways , but is followed by riley . the two fight each other , and letty tackles riley down the stairs , and finally escapes on a subway train . she heads back to shaw , and tells him that ivory was killed , but his lack of caring frustrates her . shaw then comes to her and tells her that he has a soft spot for her because she is a blank page who remembers nothing .\nshaw is captured , and they all go back to the military base . when the guy in charge attempts to arrest letty too for working with shaw , dom steps forward and says ,\nshe ' s always been one of us\n. brian then goes up to her to apologize , feeling that everything is his fault , to which she tells him that no one makes her do something she doesn ' t want to do .\n\u201cthe reason dom went to jail in the original film is he did some violence against someone who hurt his family . deckard\u2019s story is not too far away from that . the reason he comes after our guys ( in f7 ) is because he has a similar code \u2014 he looks after family . so . . . that felt like you might be able to turn him , in a way that you could start understanding what his motivations were . \u201d\n\u201ci was really worried that it would be a cover - up , that it wouldn\u2019t be a legacy , that it would be a machine thing\u2014\u2018what\u2019s next , what\u2019s next ? \u2019\u201d said rodriguez . \u201cman , [ universal ] surprised me with their respect . they were human . they had heart . and they really gave a shit . everybody involved , down to catering . they all put so much heart into it and i\u2019m proud . i think he would be . \u201d\nthe coma - therapy trend began in 1927 . viennese physician manfred sakel accidentally gave one of his diabetic patients an insulin overdose , and it sent her into a coma . but what could have been a major medical faux pas turned into a triumph . the woman , a drug addict , woke up and declared her morphine craving gone . later , sakel ( who really isn ' t earning our trust here ) made the same mistake with another patient\u2014who also woke up claiming to be cured . before long , sakel was intentionally testing the therapy with other patients and reporting a 90 percent recovery rate , particularly among schizophrenics . strangely , however , sakel ' s treatment successes remain a mystery .\nlike her husband dominic , letty is an extremely skilled race car driver . she was able to outrace a contestant at a race with relative ease and was recruited to be a part of braga ' s drug cartel , which required driving prowess to cross the border at high speed . she was even a match for dominic , narrowly losing to him in their one on one race in london , despite having held the lead for the majority of the race .\nnow the fast and the furious : tokyo drift , released in 2006 , comes into play . it\u2019s mostly about some brat who can\u2019t drift learning to do so thanks to han\u2019s teachings . han is assassinated in the film , a race is had and the brat rules tokyo or something . in the end of fast and furious 6 however , we learn that it was deckard shaw , owen shaw\u2019s brother played by \u201care they seriously trying to make this cast manlier\u201d jason statham .\nthose women include michelle rodriguez ( letty ) , jordana brewster ( mia ) , nathalie emmanuel ( ramsey ) , elsa pataky ( elena ) , nathalie kelley ( neela ) , and helen mirren ( magdalene ) , who spoke with ew about their characters , how those roles evolved over the years , the state of women in action films today , why representation in the genre matters , and how the fast films ( and hollywood ) can improve on that representation .\nsomehow , dom was able to make contact with magdalene ( who presumably just happened to be in new york at the time ) , despite being under the watchful eye of cipher and her goons . he was then able to somehow give her the god ' s eye device so that she and deckard could find where owen was being locked up . and they were able to come up with the whole plan in the five - minute window dom had before cipher knew something was up .\n\u201cit\u2019s been 14 years since i\u2019ve been the lead in a movie , since i\u2019ve carried a movie on my own , \u201d she said . \u201ci\u2019ve just been so shocked by life in the last two years . i\u2019m going to open up . i\u2019ve kind of made myself a carcass of safety and i\u2019ve protected myself against playing the \u2018girlfriend\u2019 or \u2018the girl who gets raped and then gets empowered , \u2019 \u2018the girl who gets empowered and then dies\u2019\u2026 they\u2019re always taking the power away from the women . \u201d\nafter the shocking reveal that dom\u2019s a dad , the even - more - shocking disposal of dom\u2019s baby mamma elena by that heartless villain cipher ( boo , hiss , charlize theron ! ) , and the more - ridiculous - than - shocking rescue of the baby by that ex - villain deckard shaw ( hoorah , the stath ! ) , the fate of the furious ends up all happy families with dom introducing the new kid to his girl letty and the rest of the fast family .\nthe verdict : with a title that falls firmly under so - bad - it ' s - good , it ' s disappointing that the rest of the film doesn ' t follow suit . 2 fast is paper - thin and full of highly questionable racial and gender stereotypes , and the while the original film is hardly shakespeare , we could forgive the film its flaws if the race sequences were any good . they\u2019re not , though \u2013 they\u2019re overly cartoony , and it\u2019s almost impossible to tell what\u2019s going on .\nthe movie was shot primarily on location in tokyo , which doesn\u2019t grant filming permits . so for many shots , including the ones of lead actor lucas black wandering around highly populated areas like shibuya crossing , the director and a minimal crew just shot black amongst real pedestrians until the police shut the production down . to make sure lin wouldn\u2019t get into trouble or thrown in jail and have the production halted , he had the production manager trick the police by telling them that he was the director and not lin ."]}

i ' m not keen on novels that proselytize . this one strayed just a bit too much into that territory for my taste .\nstephen king referenced this author in one of his books so after much searching i located it at a used bookstore in clifton ( ohio , uc campus ) . i lived by myself at the time in a very dark neighborhood - raccoons and dogs regularly plundered around at night . i started in on this book and could not stop - had to make frequent trips around the house to check on things as i was sort of freaked out . it did not help that i kept hearing sounds and getting startled . scary crap from beginning to end . it reads like it is real , messed up from page 1 to the end . highly recommended .\nstevens tells an enjoyable tale about thomas bishop who escapes ( quite masterfully ) from a mental health facility and begans to cross the us killing women in vicious ways . this book was written in the 1970 ' s right when mass murders were becoming the rage with the likes of charles manson and such . stevens gives you a look into bishop ' s backround . he was raised by a mother who beat him with a leather strap a lot till he couldn ' t take it anymore and he killed her resulting in his residencey at will\nuh - oh , it looks like your internet explorer is out of date . for a better shopping experience , please upgrade now .\ntwenty - six years later , he remained at the hospital , stalled at level 2 . he was confined to the corridors and units , with the possibility of never being released - his story a constant reminder to the hospital of how badly wrong a release can go .\nthis was one of the best books i have ever read . i love the fact that this book was based on non fiction relating to the story of caryl chessman and then transitioning to fiction about this psychopathic mass murderer . i learned a part of history that i did not know about and i became spell bound in the methodical and insane mind of a killer . it was great . i wish shane stevens still wrote . the other books that i have found for him have great reviews but are impossible to find . no longer in print .\nthis is a difficult book to review . it reads like a non - fiction pursuit of a serial killer with all the people involved listed and used throughout . however , it is fiction and is well - thought out . the plot is complicated and the crimes gruesome . many people act as fouls for one another . as the reader , you see into the mind of the killer . that is particularly interesting \u2014 the psychology of his actions . you also are introduced into the minds of the other characters in the story . this book is recomm\nin the follow - up to her # 1 bestselling memoir , a stolen life , jaycee dugard tells the story of her first experiences after years in captivity : the joys that accompanied her newfound freedom and the challenges of adjusting to life on her own . when . . .\nof serial - killer novels - - the first and still the best . what sets this apart from all the books that would come after is the quality of the prose and the almost old testament flavor of the writing . there are long sequences in which the killer studies other killers - - most notably caryl chessman - - and reaches a moment of insight into evil that transcends all other crime fiction i ' ve read . a brilliant and lacerating novel unlike any you ' ve ever read - - and one you ' ll never forget . i promise .\nthere is a ton of louis theroux documentaries on netflix , from his quirky weird weekends in pro wrestling to more serious looks at crimes and drugs . acting the simpleton , he is a master at establishing a rapport with interviewees , lulling them into a false sense of security and very often giving them enough rope to hang themselves . ' the city addicted to crystal meth ' is one of the best on the service .\ni really liked this book . would probably give it 8 . 5 on a 10 star scale . i am very stingy with the last stars , since they mean that i want to re - and re - read the book . what was great about this book ? ? ? its a courtroom drama / thriller with psychological undertones , which i expected by the title . the style is similar to the patterson , grisham , etc novels , but the thing that lets me recommend it unreservedly to my friends is the absolute lack of objectionable language . there are some pg13 situation\none word : wow . two words : fucking wow . this book is not your typical noir novel . it is much more . dark and funny . grisly and beautiful . dense and , yet , in some ways bleak and sparse . it tells the story of an escaped mental patient and the detective who chases him across america . but this isn ' t a harrison ford - like fugitive ; this fugitive kills . and he kills to simply kill . the narrative is straight forwad : an act of violence is followed by the law ' s interpretation of the violence . ( but does anyone really know why someone is compelled to enact heinous crimes on strangers ? ) besides a schmaltzy sub - plot of the killer trying to understand where he came from ( via a search for his real father ) , and some heavy - laden mommy issues , this book is one that will never be forgotten . few books leave me this flustered , yet gratified with my reading experience . very highly recommended .\nthis list features prisoners , drug addicts and mobsters , and yet the plight of mark and jez seems somehow sadder than all of these combined . the pair live in a sh * t flat , pursue sh * t jobs and sh * t relationships , only getting through the day with the thought of the muller corner yogurt waiting for them in the fridge . peep show is flawless in its depiction of mid - twenties 5 - hours - sleep and office - kitchen - catch - ups boredom and is unrelenting in the dark and depressing situations it places its characters in .\njonathan had been the elder of two boys . his upbringing had been unremarkable , though he told me his family had been a little emotionally reserved .\nshane stevens is the bestselling author of go down dead , way uptown in another world , dead city , rat pack , and the anvil chorus .\nstart by watching louis c . k ' s stand - up live at the beacon theater ( also on netflix ) then plough on into this series . it sees the comedian play a semi - autobiographical version of himself gigging , raising his two kids and trying to cope with the world of dating far later in life than he expected to . it doesn ' t pack a high laughs - per - minute ratio , but that ' s not really what he ' s going for in this series . it ' s more woody allen territory really ( indeed he went on to star in blue jasmine last year ) , and has a surprising emotional depth . season 2 is shaky , but worth sticking through for season 3 which is brilliant and incredibly thoughtful .\nin jonathan ' s case , his father had been a much - loved history professor in a small college town in the south - eastern corner of ohio .\nin the years since , jonathan had been making steady progress through the hospital ' s five\nmovement levels\nthat dictate the patients ' level of treatment .\nthe zingers come at lightning speed in this much - loved comedy about the backstage workings of a saturday night live - type sketch show . tina fey and alec baldwin are equally brilliant in the lead roles of showrunner liz lemon and nbc president jack donaghy and the satire on pop culture is always absolutely pin point accurate .\nat a mental hospital in columbus i met eric . he was pushing a trolley of\ncomfort items\nfor delivery to other patients : cuddly toys and toiletries .\nshane stevens is the author of numerous books , including the anvil chorus , dead city , go down dead , rat pack , and way uptown in another world .\nprobably one of the best crime thrillers ever written . yes , i do mean\never\n. a must read novel , not for the faint hearted though .\na crasser documentary might have lost its composure in the face of such pronouncements . but the endlessly stoic theroux ' s first impulse was to treat the interviewees with respect .\nread this many , many years ago ;

the lead character was very interesting , it has a well developed plot , and a few great supporting characters / actors . the director ' s insight afterwards was illuminating - he revealed that the lead character was loosely based on michael moore . he also talked about his other films - he expressed pride in prozac nation , despite the lack of a widespread release , and he even said that he was reasonably happy with the hollywood remake of insomnia . definitely a thought provoking film that is worth seeing for its examination of those who don ' t go along with mainstream opinions , and flawed hero characters . . . without a nicely tied up ending !\n21 . when the smaller ship containing the alien queen is destroyed , its passenger \u2014 the one roughly the size of the eiffel tower \u2014 survives and we discover the alien queen has the exact same alien design as the normal aliens , just now it\u2019s really , really big ! why would an alien need to be this big , you ask ? my best guess is someone who was both involved with the creation of this film , yes doesn\u2019t know how movies work on a metaphysical level , thought the alien queen might leap from the screen , make its way into an adjoining theater , find the bfg and rip off its head .\nchris calls it an intimate epic . everything has to happen for real in front of the camera when you\u2019re in a chris nolan film , because he doesn\u2019t like to add anything with [ too much ] computer -

whore complex , in which men see women as either saintly mothers or worthless sex objects . the spiders are implicated early on in the film in some sort of sexual rite , and when helen , a pregnant woman , turns into the spider after having sex with adam \u2014 shortly after anthony cheats on his pregnant wife with mary \u2014 it could be seen as a literalization of adam\u2019s disturbed psyche , which can\u2019t handle intimate relationships . enemy appears to say that even though adam has done away with anthony \u2014 and mary , an innocent bystander who represents some sort of purely sexual relationship , in the process \u2014 he still has a ways to go before he can reconcile these two facets of womanhood . and note the names : mary , the mother of christ ; and helen , the catalyst for the trojan war . there\u2019s also a motif around high heels , an obvious feminine symbol : adam and anthony each notice helen and mary\u2019s heels at separate points in the film , and the platform heels used to crush the spider at the beginning are , uh , hard to miss .\nour cameraman was also not enthusiastic about taking a drone to an area controlled by al -

free zone of the review\u2014is offer a theory that tries to make sense of it all . this is a movie that begins with the epigraph , \u201cchaos is order yet undeciphered\u201d ( a line from jos\u00e9 saramago\u2019s the double , the novel on which the movie is based ) . though the movie may appear inexplicable at first , this epigraph suggests that we can make some sense of it , some order , if we just know how it can be deciphered . and villeneuve has backed this up . in an interview with the huffington post , he said , \u201c if you look at enemy again , you can see that everything has an answer and a meaning . \u201d major spoilers ahead , obviously . i\u2019ll offer a theory . while enemy has been billed as an erotic thriller and a doppelganger movie\u2014and it is both those things\u2014i think ultimately it\u2019s a parable about what it\u2019s like to live under a totalitarian state without knowing it . it\u2019s an invasion of the body snatchers movie in which you don\u2019t even realize it\u2019s an invasion of the body snatchers movie until the end\u2014until it\u2019s too late for our hero . in this case , the body snatchers just happen to be giant spiders .\ndavos talks as a snowstorm crashes on , implying this shot is taken north of the wall . men / wildlings defend themselves from an unseen threat / white walkers .\nthe ending of denis villeneuve\u2019s new movie enemy has been called perhaps \u201c the scariest ending of any film ever made . \u201d and much of its scariness derives from its initial inexplicability . the movie has described as \u201c head - scratching , \u201d \u201c mysterious , \u201d and \u201c gloriously enigmatic . \u201d as one critic put it , \u201ci kinda dug it but i have no idea if it\u2019s any good or what happened or where i am anymore and what aiiiiiiiieeeeeeee that last sound / shot . \u201d\nmost movies about war are mission oriented , about taking a hill , or a village , or capturing enemy troops . roessner ' s movie is also mission oriented , but it\u2019s a different kind of mission .\nsuch remarks illustrate the initial strategy for dealing with the film on the part of the kazakh government \u2013 attempting to brush it off as no big deal . but later baron cohen was mentioned in a session of kazakhstan\u2019s parliament by the foreign affairs minister of the time , yerzhan kazykhanov : \u201cwith the picture\u2019s release , kazakhstan increased the number of visas it issues by 10 times . this is a great victory , and i am grateful to borat for attracting tourists to kazakhstan . \u201d\nwhatever happens in this film , hemsworth , thompson and ruffalo have been spotted on location for infinity war , so will probably be back together soon .\nand where did the spiders come from ? why do fascist regimes arise again and again throughout history , in \u201ca pattern , \u201d as adam reminds us ? enemy suggests that this tendency to create totalitarian regimes is part of human nature , that it comes from within us . after all , even adam , the ostensible good twin , is an extremely flawed character\u2014he sells out his girlfriend , cheats on her with another woman , and earlier he tries to rape her . as the movie goes on , he becomes more and more like anthony . villeneuve , who has otherwise been tight - lipped about his film , has said this about enemy : \u201csometimes you have compulsions that you can\u2019t control coming from the subconscious \u2026 they are the dictator inside ourselves . \u201d\nin the marvel cinematic universe canon , the thor movies tend to get overlooked in favour of iron man , captain america and guardians of the galaxy .\nkombo yannick is one of the many african asylum seekers braving the longer latin america route to the us .\nthe beam hit o\u2019grady\u2019s plane , then bounced down to the oncoming missile which honed in for the kill . with a top speed of over 1 , 864 miles an hour , it hit the f -

screen sequences that most hong kong cinematographers are so confident in catching is almost worthwhile . the charisma of the stars derives from seeing them roll through the stunts in bigger venues than living rooms . the action thriller of recent hong kong vintage is a more spare and minimalist affair than ' ' so close , ' ' whose title seems to refer to the movie ' s proximity to the past .\nthe protagonist in so close is amanda luker who grew up in a trailer park in small town florida . she always knew she wanted more , and especially wished she had a father . she also hoped for more than she had growing up , but she especially wished her mom would take care of her younger brother so she get out of the trailer park without feeling guilty . amanda ' s busy working at a local hotel until she lands a job for politician and local candidate , tom davis . tom ' s wife , lindsey , is a great character\nthere are so many unusual forms of death and maiming in this film . asphixation from poison gas being one of them . and then there are the fashionable combat stiletto boots .\nwenders ' ideas , emotions -

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

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

bay we spotted the casa felisa hotel ( which looks a bit like a motel ) located right next to the beach , and has plenty of car parking . booking in was no problem ( one days rent in advance ) and got a twin bedded room with shower , tv and aircon for about 1060 pisos . the room was clean but too close to the reception area so avoid room number one ! ! two reasonable breakfasts were included in the price and the staff were quite helpful and friendly . the location is fantastic if you like the beach ( which was very clean ) and a 7 piso tricycle ride takes you into roxas city about 3 kilometers away . i would recommend the hotel which is currently being extended with better beach huts and additional accomadation , which looks very nice .\namanda luker never had much growing up at the trailer park in small town florida , but she always knew she wanted more . she wished for a father . she wished she had a better , more stable job . she wished her mom would take care of her younger brother so she could move far away without feeling guilty . when a ratty boyfriend finally leads amanda to a swanky south beach hotel job -

day rags - to - riches story of a small - town girl just trying to get out of the trailer park and make something of herself . while amanda is the main character , poor little rich boy pax westerbrook is certainly the catalyst for the entire story . having met during a night of clubbing , pax is the reason amanda loses her job and through trying to make it up to her , he also gives her another chance at meeting senator davis and his wife lindsay . while pax is intertwined and constantly comes in and out of amanda\u2019s life , this isn\u2019t an ordinary cinderella story . amanda works hard for everything she has . she demonstrates an incredible work ethic throughout the book , and it was especially impressive to see how hard she worked day in and day out on the senator\u2019s campaign with no hope or guarantee of a paycheck . that kind of work ethic really revealed her character and entrepreneurial spirit . it was interesting to get the behind the scenes glimpse of the path to the presidency . international best - selling authors , emma mclaughlin and nicole kraus did a great job of making me feel like i was jet - lagged on the campaign trail alongside amanda . told through amanda\u2019s eyes , her character with all of her flaws and na\u00efvet\u00e9 were well - developed and easily relatable . as intriguing as the political indiscretions made this book , for me it was really about amanda\u2019s entrepreneurial drive and her determination to become someone outside of the trailer park . while life offers opportunities randomly and sporadically , it\u2019s really about what you make of those opportunities and how you create your own windows when no others open for you . for this and other book reviews , please visit : urltoken\ndear luismac , on behalf of the management and staff of carton house i would like to thank you for taking the time to review our hotel and share your experience with others . i am delighted to see that you had an enjoyable stay with us and i have passed your kind comments onto the team . the ambience of the old house really does make the stay that bit extra special and we always receive such positive feedback on how unique it is . i would welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspect of your meal experience which you feel we could improve on so please feel free to contact me about this . i look forward to welcoming you back to carton house in the future when you are sure of a warm welcome . kind regards , brian bowler deputy general manager\ntoronto , canada we stayed at this hotel from june 28 to july 1 , 2007 . we are a family of four , with teenage children . i booked it based on the reviews on tripadvisor . i was not disappointed . we had a quad room which was cozy and clean . bathroom was new and clean . we had breakfast in our room every morning at whatever time we requested it . breakfast was cappuccino , toast and croissants , truly italian style , which is all to be expected when in italy . it was away from the crowds of venice , but within walking distance to all the main attractions . it is close to the train and bus station and if you follow the hotels directions , finding it is not a problem . we found this hotel to be charming and in venetian style . the price was great in comparison to the other hotels closer to the main attractions . we truly enjoyed our stay and the staff was very friendly and pleasant . i would recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone that is wanting to experience venice\na story with promise that succumbs to the temptations of too many dramatic twists in the final act . the trite\nhandsome leading man with unbelievable wealth , snobby mother\nwas bothersome - he never felt like an actual character , more a vehicle for our heroine ' s wishes and aspirations . the bombshell revelation in the final act , followed by a painful and confusing side trip to kiwah island , and another bizarre revelation after that - totally took the wind out of the story ' s sails . the cheyenne / coco character did not make sense . i could go on and on , but will simply say - skip this one so as to not be frustrated by a story that includes unnecessary drama , but likely had great potential before all the bells and whistles ( and ornaments and accessories ) were added .\ndear anthonymcnamee , thank you for taking the time to review our hotel on tripadvisor . i am delighted to see that you had an enjoyable experience during your stay with us and i have passed your kind comments on to the team here in the hotel . my apologies for the absence of the starter at your tee time on sunday morning and i hope it did not cause too much of a delay for you . i am glad that you enjoyed the standards of the golf courses so much , they really are in great condition at the moment as always which really makes for an enjoyable game . i do hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to carton house in the near future and if i can ever be of any assistance please feel free to contact me . kind regards , brian bowler deputy general manager\nsaugatuck and douglas are tourist destinations , so it ' s not surprising that there are many nice b & b ' s around the area . but for those who don ' t want to spend $ 150 - $ 250 a night on a room , there are alternatives like the best western . it ' s really not bad - the desk staff was pleasant enough , the continental breakfast was varied and perfectly okay . the pool ( although small ) is open until 11 : 00pm which is nice . still , there was something that always made it seem a bit stale - the smell in the carpets , the lack of amenities , the rough towels , the bare bones quality of many items in the room . if you can get a good price and are looking for a hotel with a pool i would recommend it - otherwise look for something else .\nwe just got back from a great week in sands beach resort . the staff were very friendly and when needed they help you immediately . our apartment was very basic . the second bed was in a cupboard and our daughter thought is was cool to have a bed hidden away . . the sofa was broken and very uncomfortable so we didn ' t use it . the nice thing is , is that every appartment block has it ' s own pool and that is really ideal . the resort also provides toys for te pool which was very convenient . we seemed to have the less nicest pool , as we settled for a smaller appartment . pools are not heated , so the water was quite cold . with the sun there it ' s very cooling , but without the sun it ' s defenitely too cold . the playground is very nice . there ' s also a playground rght outside the resort and that one was even better . kids don ' t have to get bored ! apparently there ' s a possibilty to rent a buggy . we only found out our last day , but if we knew this before we would defenitely have done that . sands beach is not in the centre of things and with small children the walk to the spanish square is too far . we didn ' t book any meals , but we did go once for a breakfast buffet and dinner buffet . the breakfast was great , but i was a bit disappointed with the dinner . choice was ok , but not very tasty . we went out in the town and there are plenty of good restaurants . the mini disco in the evening was fantastic for the kids , just a little bit late for a 4 year old . most of the time she was too tired to participate . i would defenitely go here again , but i would book a different apartement .\ni ' ve loved emma and nicola since i was a teen reading the nanny diaries . what i love about them is their characters . women that mean so well and strive for it only to get lost along the way paired with a guy that ' s just as lost in his own way but fights until the end for them . he fights for the hea . amanda and pax made a great pair . but the relationship between amanda and lindsey is what made this story for me . as amanda tried to be more than her trailer park childhood lindsey became her savior . as their relationship grew then changed it was a journey amanda needed . not always pleasant and way too overwhelming but needed . pax was a great balance for amanda . when reading emma and nicola i always feel bad for the leading man . he always gets the short end of the stick in the relationship . like he deserves more than the hot mess he fell for but in the end they get their hea and they ' re trials are what makes them better . some of the transitions were choppy and timeline cloudy but it was classic emma and nicola and i loved it .\nmclaughlin & kraus finally give us something worthy of a follow - up to the nanny diaries . unlike citizen girl or dedication , the protagonist here - - amanda - - is a reasonably believable , sympathetic , mostly three - dimensional character , rather than a caricature . unfortunately , the same can ' t necessarily be said of her love interest , the trust - fund kid with a heart of gold , willing to risk disinheritance and his mother ' s wrath for the sake of an unlikely romance with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks . but that ' s okay , because the real story here isn ' t the romance , it ' s amanda ' s climb up the ladder behind the curtain of a charismatic politician . the demands and the perks of the job are equally incredible , which makes this a fun read , and keeps amanda ' s character -

based and offshore giants that went into decline in the last decade showed annual production declines on average above 10 percent .\nlike i said before , when i first started growing my hair out after my major tomboy phase , my widow ' s peak became something i grew to resent . it only gave me trouble when i tried to style my hair like the other girls in the sixth grade , and i would wish that one day all those little hairs would just fall out on their own so i could live happily ever after without them . but of course , that didn ' t work . and even though i plucked them , they grew back .\nsara , i need to get the hang of posting so bear with me . i was thinking back to when you first interviewed me in 1995 before i became a sod widow , just on audio . then it was 2000 - 2001 when we sat down again for video and audio taping in my old house on elm street and downtown at saints rest coffee shop . quite intense for me but it was therapeutic as well . then there was another hiatus of 7 years and you asked me again to be interviewed , this time with my sister and first cousin karen in 2008 . another 2 days of intensive questions and hot lights ! i ' d also gone into menopause so hot flashes were an issue ! then finally this past march for a return visit of the trio of sod widows - but only for a day and fewer lights . we even had a sneak preview ! i am so looking forward to the final version in the fall . kim\ndennis , i just don\u2019t pull this stuff out of my ass . i have been studying this for almost 15 years . i have analyzed the output of every major oil producer in the world and i see an imminent peak . if you think production will keep climbing , or plateau for ten to twenty years , then you need to explain where you think all this oil will come from . the coming decline is set in stone , it will definitely happen . but what you are saying is all these vast reserves will be tapped to keep production up or perhaps even increasing .\ndon , please tell me why the shape of the curve would change what i wrote ? i am firmly convinced that ugo\u2019s seneca cliff is exactly what we will see , or more correctly what we are seeing right now . i believe we are well past 50 % of total urr right now . and i do mean well past 50 % . but peak oil will be the point in time when more oil is produced than has ever been produced in the history of the world , or ever will be in the future of the world . why would the shape of the curve change that ?\nthat would apply to the 1990\u2019s when the price of oil collapsed . the peak of oil production with the lowest cost was 1999 . since then prices have rise as demand out paced production . despite the recent collapse of oil , its still far more expensive than it was in 1999 and we\u2019ll never see the price / supply ratio as we did in the 1990\u2019s . we certainly are not in a oil glut . consumption as fallen because of price , because customers have purchased more efficient vehicles , decrease in high consumption activities ( ie vacation some place distant ) , or purchase less goods and services .\nif\nwidow ' s peak\nexisted only on the levels i have described , and ended simply by resolving this plot , that would be enough . like such other recent irish films as\nthe snapper ,\nhear my song\nand\nthe crying game ,\nit uses understated humor and fluent , witty speech ; it ' s a delight to listen to , as it gradually reveals how eccentric these apparently respectable people really are . but there is more to it , a good deal more , which i will not reveal , even to hint at , because that would be spoiling the fun .\nno one likes the frizzy hair part of a widow ' s peak , but one serious benefit is being able to switch your part however you like . when i get out of the shower , it ' s always like a game of roulette deciding where to part my hair that day . i have my basics , like to the right , to the left ( is this the cupid shuffle ? ) , or in the center . but it ' s nice that i don ' t have to limit my hair parting to just one side , especially since i like switching it up and trying out new styles .\nepistasis is the term applied when one gene interferes with the expression of another ( as in the baldness / widow ' s peak mentioned earlier ) . bateson reported a different phenotypic ratio in sweet pea than could be explained by simple mendelian inheritance . this ratio is 9 : 7 instead of the 9 : 3 : 3 : 1 one would expect of a dihybrid cross between heterozygotes . of the two genes ( c and p ) , when either is homozygous recessive ( cc or pp ) that gene is epistatic to ( or hides ) the other . to get purple flowers one must have both c and p alleles present .\nthe documentary \u201cblind spot\u201d ( youtube link ) deals with the psychology of our predicament quite a bit , with many of the persons interviewed trying to explain either why we should be doing stuff or why as a civilisation we seem to have his blind spot that is sort of keeping us in a trance . imo jason bradford puts it best ( link to jason\u2019s explanation ) basically that the idea of growth as a norm has become entrenched over the past couple of centuries . excluding those of us who are \u201cpeak oil aware\u201d , my new aquantance along with the rest of the world doesn\u2019t have a problem with adding more \u201cconsumers\u201d to the world\u2019s population .\nas you ' ll find out throughout this article , there are many redeeming qualities to having a widow ' s peak . the frizzy cowlick element of it , however , is not one of them . you don ' t know how many hours and how many bottles of hairspray i have been through trying to tame the most stubborn , frustrating patch of hair in the world . i ' m not bitter about it . i ' m not bitter at all . but it ' s not easy trying to patch it down and make it blend in to the rest of your mane . and the hot , humid , summer weather is hardly helping .\nwhile one gene may make only one protein , the effects of those proteins usually interact ( for example widow ' s peak may be masked by expression of the baldness gene ) . novel phenotypes often result from the interactions of two genes , as in the case of the comb in chickens . the single comb is produced only by the rrpp genotype . rose comb ( b ) results from r _ pp . ( _ can be either r or r ) . pea comb ( c ) results from rrp _ . walnut comb , a novel phenotype , is produced when the genotype has at least one dominant of each gene ( r _ p _ ) .\nthere are others with intelligence who disagree with your assessment . often engineers have very limited understanding of biology and ecology and think they know more than everyone else . the climate scientists that i refer to have hard science backgrounds in geophysics or geochemistry or biology . i don\u2019t put a lot of faith in the analyses by political scientists and economists . usually engineers use a generous factor of safety in the face of uncertainty , it is not clear why this would not be the case where policy affecting the entire planet is concerned . i agree that peak oil is a problem , the solution to both problems is similar , move away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible .\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\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\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 .\na tribute to the late tab hunter , a gay matinee idol and hollywood trailblazer .\ndoyle counihan ( joan plowright ) , who is the arbiter of manners and the social queen bee . she has taken under her special protection the one spinster in the area , miss o ' hare ( mia farrow ) , who seems perfectly harmless until she is aroused - which , one day , she most certainly is .\nwhen a new widow named edwina broome ( natasha richardson ) moves into the area , miss o ' hare is immediately hostile . ( at a tea party to welcome the newcomer , when mrs . broome is unwise enough to say that her late british husband had once liked to shoot in ireland , miss o ' hare snaps ,\nwhat did he shoot ? irishmen ?\n) mrs . doyle counihan cannot understand why her protege is so unfriendly to the newcomer . mrs . counihan sees mrs . broome in an entirely different light , as a possible bride for her 40 - ish , hapless son godfrey ( adrian dunbar ) . and godfrey is intrigued , too , although on a picnic he is shocked by mrs . broome ' s language and her startlingly open - minded ideas about courtship .\nwe get to meet the others in the village , especially a likable local dentist named clancy ( jim broadbent ) . and as days add up into weeks , the battle lines are drawn between the sophisticated mrs .\nthe screenplay for the movie was originally written by the playwright hugh leonard after a conversation with the actress maureen o ' sullivan , who said she regretted never having appeared in a movie with her daughter , farrow . that was some 15 years ago ; this production casts farrow in the part originally intended for her mother , and richardson in what was once the farrow part .\nthe casting works ; sparks fly the moment the two women first see each other on the screen , and one of the most entertaining elements in the film is the way farrow ' s miss o ' hare is fearlessly willing to cause scenes - to insult this newcomer in public . there is always something funny about rudeness ( it breaks laws and tension at the same time ) , and here leonard ' s dialogue brings it to a fine pitch ."]}

receive communion devoutly and frequently . in order to be properly disposed to receive communion , participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour . a person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the body and blood of the lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession . in this case , the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition , including the intention of confessing as soon as possible ( canon 916 ) . a frequent reception of the

dr . michael horton of westminster seminary california offers a historical / theological answer ( 1 ) . when generations of christians in the west have assumed a dichotomy , if not a contradiction , between\ngetting saved\nand joining the church , then it is no surprise that the christianity they carry with them is individualistic to the core . the concept of believers remaining in the mosque becomes nothing more or less than a benign cultural alternative . the\ngospel\npreached by such individualistic christians is simply reworked to suit relativism . insider movements are the mission strategy of the postmodern\nemergent church .\nsomewhat more sinister is the fact that such a missionary strategy is unwittingly supported by some of the most ardently confessional churches .\nthus the young and pure would be taught to look at her , with the scarlet letter flaming on her breast - - at her , the child of honourable parents - - at her , the mother of a babe that would hereafter be a woman - - at her , who had once been . . .\n21 . the extension of the faculty for the distribution of holy communion under both kinds does not represent a change in the church ' s immemorial beliefs concerning the holy eucharist . rather , today the church finds it salutary to restore a practice , when appropriate , that for various reasons was not opportune when the council of trent was convened in 1545 . 32 but with the passing of time , and under the guidance of the holy spirit , the reform of the second vatican council has resulted in the restoration of a practice by which the faithful are again able to experience\na fuller sign of the eucharistic banquet .\n33\n45 . after each communicant has received the blood of christ , the minister carefully wipes both sides of the rim of the chalice with a purificator . this action is a matter of both reverence and hygiene . for the same reason , the minister turns the chalice slightly after each communicant has received the precious blood .\nafter the conversation , lily goes back into the teacherage and realizes that helen doesn\u2019t go for a walk , so she\u2019s able to hear everything superintendent macintosh says .\non the way to his room , gene meets mr . ludsbury , a strict devon master who warns him that the wild antics of the summer will not be tolerated any longer . saddened by this stern lecture , gene is only mildly curious when mr . ludsbury tells him he has a long - distance phone call .\n35 . before being used , vessels for the celebration must be blessed by the bishop or priest according to the rite of blessing a chalice and paten . 49\nnearly every actor strikes the right tone , and the strength of their performances allow us to forgive the occasional grandstanding theatrics . only toward the end does the film draw dangerously close to shooting itself in the foot when the judge ( a miscast yoshioka ) has a crucial monologue that is intended to enlighten but comes across as a dithered whine . the melodrama teeters over into the flagrantly melodramatic and never fully recovers , receiving little help from an incessant musical score that panders too much to our heartstrings .\nit is radically clear to me that the show ( 2 1 / 2 men ) is cursed ,\nsheen said in a statement released by his publicist .\nthe best newcomer prize wasgiven to six actors , including anna tsuchiya , who has swept similar prizes forher work as a punk biker in tetsuya nakashima ' s kamikaze girls .\nat the time , parsy\u2019s mother , simha parsy , told cops her daughter may have been killed after stepping out of the shower and stumbling onto a burglary in progress .\ndespite positive rhetoric from the trump administration , intelligence reports and image analysis indicating an increase in weapons production provide a reminder of the difficult path ahead in disarming north korea .\nat 7 : 00 p . m . the book of the dead ( shisha no sho ) like other nobles , princess iratsume is wrapped up in the new trend of buddhism . yet , she has taken it to a level of obsession and spends most of her time copying sutras . after finishing her thousandth copy she sees a radiant floating image that she believes is the buddha between mountains . she reaches the foot of the mountain and finds herself in a temple . that night while she sleeps in the temple , the figure appears to her .

( angel did drop by sunnydale for buffy \u2019s final season as well , although she notably stayed away from l . a . during his last year . ) and while she was initially missed , not having the specter of buffy looming over everything allowed angel to fully come into its own in subsequent seasons .\nnew tvb medical drama , angel in the making < \u5be6\u7fd2\u5929\u4f7f > , premieres on monday , november 30 at 9 : 30p . m . produced by yip chun fai ( \u8449\u93ae\u8f1d ) , the 25 -

gregarious immediate ancestors . mastery over nature began with the development of the hand , with labour , and widened man\u2019s horizon at every new advance . he was continually discovering new , hitherto unknown properties in natural objects . on the other hand , the development of labour necessarily helped to bring the members of society closer together by increasing cases of mutual support and joint activity , and by making clear the advantage of this joint activity to each individual . in short , men in the making arrived at the point where they had something to say to each other . necessity created the organ ; the undeveloped larynx of the ape was slowly but surely transformed by modulation to produce constantly more developed modulation , and the organs of the mouth gradually learned to pronounce one articulate sound after another .\nstill , it ' s hard to drum interest in the show when the episodes premiere against things that draw more interest . i think the summer was a better fit for the show because discussions didn ' t get lost in the whirlwind of fall tv programming and in the midst of 3 sports seasons .\nthe app was pretty enough , and the idea interesting enough , that cold brew labs found institutional funding in early 2009 from first mark capital in new york .\nfirst off i ' m gonna start with the songs . we ' ve noticed a lot of people wondering about the rap song that ' s in the drama . we tried finding it but we couldn ' t and instead we found this . when i initially saw it , it had 280000 views but now its got over 300000 . i wonder where the views are coming from lol . this guy is actually going the korean route and he actually wrote all the lyrics too which i really admire . there ' s a lot of heated discussion about this cover right now but too bad we can ' t find a version of the angel in the making sub -

like apes and the human hand that has been highly perfected by hundreds of thousands of years of labour . the number and general arrangement of the bones and muscles are the same in both hands , but the hand of the lowest savage can perform hundreds of operations that no simian hand can imitate \u2013 no simian hand has ever fashioned even the crudest stone knife .\njavascript is not enabled in your browser . enabling javascript in your browser will allow you to experience all the features of our site . learn how to enable javascript on your browser\nto use this website , cookies must be enabled in your browser . to enable cookies , follow the instructions for your browser below . facebook app : open links in external browser\nwent up the cable car to the snow and made a snowman , it was blizzard like and was the best fun . we had a meal in the restuarant and that was delicious .\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 .\nearly in 2010 , pinterest investors pushed a certain new york -

( 2008 ) . where metabolisms were unknown ( such as for the unclassified groups , candidate phyla , or otus with only coarse phylogenetic affiliation ) , the family was placed into the physiotype marked \u201c ? \u201d . at some sites this bin constitutes > 50 % of the otus sampled ( borehole 2 ) , whereas in others it is < 10 % ( pool 6 biofilm ) . when the family level proved too metabolically diverse to categorize , the family was put into the physiotype labeled \u201cmixed . \u201d the group labeled \u201cp / s ? \u201d consists of organisms related closely to oxygenic or anoxygenic photosynthesizers that are unlikely to be mediating these metabolisms in the dark mine environment .\ni visited places in america that shared the same names as places on the london tube map . e . g . white city in kansas , which served as my route around the country . i got to california on thursday august 27th , where i rested for a few days before driving back to charleston , getting home on sunday 11th september - having spent almost three months on the road .\nthe hydrological and geological variability present in the continental subsurface can be much greater than in marine environments . for instance , the continental crust is composed of a combination of felsic and mafic , intrusive and extrusive , igneous rocks and sedimentary deposits of numerous compositions and metamorphic grades . consequently , a multifaceted approach is necessary to characterize the environmental complexities of deep terrestrial ecosystems , including understanding the feeding aquifer and the host lithologies encountered by the corresponding subsurface fluids . such information is often available in mines because it is critical to the structural safety and economics of mining . the chemistry of subsurface fluids reflects interaction with different rock lithologies , and thus differs depending on sample location and depth . the variable salinities , phs , temperatures , and oxidation states will , in turn , support different microbial communities that can be probed with biomolecular techniques , including pyrosequencing . although these techniques have limited utility in connecting sequence identity to function , they can be used to rapidly assess the microbial diversity of an environment and to infer putative catabolic strategies . thermodynamic modeling can then be used in concert with geochemical and genomic data to ascertain likely ongoing chemolithotrophic strategies . here , we combined these techniques and present a characterization of the geochemical habitat , microbiome , and energetic framework for chemolithotrophic processes of the subsurface biosphere at surf .\n) . here , vectors for each physiotype are plotted in black and geochemical species in gray , in a principle coordinate system derived from both systems at each site . species and physiotypes that co - vary in abundance should point in similar directions , whereas physiotypes that are dependent on two chemical species will appear between the two chemical vectors . surf sample sites are plotted in symbols and their positions reflect proximity to their constituent physiotypes and chemical species .\nthe samples for this study were acquired over the course of three expeditions to surf in lead , south dakota ( usa ) in sept . 2013 , oct . 2013 , and feb . 2014 ( yates shaft , latitude 44 . 352157 \u00b0 , longitude - 103 . 750503 \u00b0 ) . detailed geochemical data were acquired only on the last two trips . oxidation - reduction potential ( orp ) , conductivity , ph , temperature , and total dissolved solids ( tds ) were measured in situ with an ultrameter ii 6pfc e ( myron l company ) . redox sensitive species ( do , \u2211s 2\u2212 , fe + + , mn 2 + , no \u2212 3 , no \u2212 2 , nh + 4 , sio 2 , \u2211po \u22123 4 ) were measured using hach dr / 2400 portable field spectrophotometers and associated reaction kits ( hack company , loveland , co ) .\nsequences were analyzed using the programs qiime ( caporaso , 2010 ) and mothur ( schloss et al . , 2009 ) , and compared against the silva 111 database ( quast et al . , 2012 ) . sequences were quality filtered by removing from the dataset any sequence that did not have an exact match to the proximal primer , contained fewer than 200 or greater than 350 bases , had more than one ambiguous nucleic acid base ( ns ) , or had a quality score less than 25 . sequences were clustered using the usearch algorithm ( edgar , 2010 ) at a 97 % identity cutoff , and taxonomy was assigned to the lowest possible level using the silva 111 database ( urltoken ) . it is important to note that these data are not strictly quantitative , and thus all percentages reported below should be taken as relative abundance only . all statistical analyses ( pca etc . ) were performed using the matlab\u00ae statistics toolbox .\nreduction ( rxns . # 8 , 74 , 133 ; figure s3 ) . exergonicity is controlled by the concentration of ammonium with high ammonium sites ( e . g . , borehole 8 and pool 6 ) yielding energy densities consistently one to two orders of magnitude higher than those with low ammonium concentrations ( e . g . , pool 9 and manifold d ) . in this case , a negative correlation between energy yield and temperature is seen with higher energy density present at lower temperatures . finally , manganese oxidation is exergonic at all sites ( rxn . # 7 , figure s4 ) , with gibbs energy yields on par with that of ammonium oxidation and little relationship with temperature .\na large number of people have contributed to the success of this project . we are particularly indebted to the science and support staff at surf , including jaret heiss , tom reagan , and kathy hart for making mine access and sample collection possible . pratixaben savalia , mark torres , josh west , will berelson , and nick rollins aided greatly in geochemical analyses at usc . we would additionally like to acknowledge other members of the nai team including duane moser , rohit bhartia , victoria orphan , moh el - naggar , ken nealson , brandi reese , greg wanger , and yamini jangir for both physical and intellectual contributions to sample collection , data analysis , and compilation of this work . this is c - debi contribution 235 and nai - lu contribution 006 .\nor figure s4a ) ; however , hydrogen concentrations are simply too low in this system to produce significant energy density ( figure s4b ) . it is possible that hydrogen oxidizers are consuming hydrogen rapidly as it is generated , creating a cryptic cycle . while it is difficult to evaluate cryptic cycling for this or really any metabolisms using the methodologies described above , molecular data can shed some light on these potential cycles , ( discussed below ) . in addition to hydrogen oxidation , methanogenesis , sulfate reduction , and iron reduction were also considered as potential sources of energy in surf sites ( rxn . # 92 , 42 , 117 ; figure s4 ) , but were found to yield little to no energy and only at the lowest temperatures . these results contrast with observations of sulfate reducing phyla and probable biogenic methane , but it should be noted that these calculations were performed for only chemolithotrophic reactions .\nthis is not the first study to quantify environmental energy availability ; previous studies have targeted diverse environments including terrestrial hot springs , submarine hydrothermal systems , igneous marine basement , and marine sediments ( mccollom , 2000 ; amend et al . , 2003 , 2011 ; shock et al . , 2005 , 2010 ; spear et al . , 2005 ; larowe et al . , 2008 ; vick et al . , 2010 ; larowe and amend , 2014 ; teske et al . , 2014 ) . while the sites are unrelated , there appears to be an upper limit on \u03b4 g r of approximately \u2212120 kj ( mole e \u2212 ) \u22121 . this value reoccurs in a diversity of environments , including terrestrial hydrothermal systems , marine sediments , marine basement , and shallow marine hydrothermal systems . in different environments , different reactions are the most exergonic : for example , aerobic iron oxidation to magnetite in yellowstone hot springs evaluated in shock et al . ( 2010 ) , the knallgas reaction in juan de fuca ridge basement fluids described in boettger et al . ( 2013 ) , and nitrite reduction with h 2 in an acidic thermal fluid on vulcano island ( italy ) noted in amend et al . ( 2003 ) ; several other reactions , however , yield similarly high energy . in the surf environments described here , the most exergonic reaction is aerobic carbon monoxide oxidation , with a \u03b4 g r of \u2212118 kj / mole e \u2212 . these most exergonic reactions use o 2 , no \u2212 3 , or no \u2212 2 as the terminal electron acceptor , which is consistent with the canonical electron tower model of microbial metabolism . if this were the whole story , it would have significant and grave implications for subsurface life that is truly isolated from surface processes , not to mention life in the archean oceans .\nthe surf laboratory is a portal into the dsb that reveals an array of geochemically , taxonomically , and metabolically diverse microbial communities . this variability and the interrelatedness of geochemical and biological processes have been documented here . this study confirms and contributes to the growing body of knowledge that energetics should be viewed in reference to the limiting reactants in environmental systems . these data often correspond well to the metabolic capability of microbial populations and may be generally more representative of the in situ biogeochemical processes . this is substantiated in the current study by presenting both energetic calculations and molecular characterization of microbial populations together . by assigning presumed physiology to taxonomic groups , the predictive power of the energetic calculations can be refined , and in some cases , be used to see what energetic calculations alone cannot . statistical analysis of these data can be harnessed to generate hypotheses for the function of unknown microbial taxa and cryptic biogeochemical cycles . replication of this approach at other terrestrial deep subsurface sites will contribute to our understanding of the metabolic activity of these isolated ecosystems and their importance to global biogeochemical cycling .\nplan - view map of sample sites and photographs of sample sites [ 2 ( d ) , 5 ( c ) , 8 ( e ) , 6 ( f ) , and b ( g ) ] . sample locations within surf .

production was his and he was also involved in the film editing , which integrates original documentary footage into the film . the closing credits point out that the project was denied film subsidies .\nfeldman , who is president of the ukrainian jewish committee , notes that babi yar was a precursor of the holocaust .\nyet babi yar was not unique . the nazis and their ukrainian collaborators massacred jews in more than 600 killing sites throughout ukraine , ultimately murdering 1 , 500 , 000 jews \u2013 a quarter of those annihilated in the holocaust .\nduring the two years of the nazi occupation of kiev , it is estimated that between 100 , 000 to 150 , 000 jews , soviet pows , communists , gypsies , ukrainian nationalists , civilian hostages , partisans , and others were murdered at babi yar .\none of the delegates , rufat guliyev , a member of the azerbaijan parliament , learned for the first time of the enormity of the horrors perpetrated at babi yar during the ceremony at the site \u2013 despite the fact that he had been a student at the state university in kiev in the late 1980s .\nfollowing deliberations in one of the large parliamentary committee rooms , the conference issued a joint declaration stating : \u201ceducational efforts must be reinforced all over the globe to establish the babi yar massacre as not simply another event within the horrific scope of the holocaust , but as a telling indicator of the breadth of nazi evil . \u201d\n\u201cif the world had reacted forcefully to the massacre at babi yar , perhaps the holocaust could have been slowed down , \u201d he argues . instead , the world was silent and the nazi leadership went on to plan the \u201cfinal solution\u201d for the annihilation of the jews at the wannsee conference in january 1942 , in berlin .\ndespite the dimensions of the holocaust on its soil , ukraine has not dealt with it in any meaningful way . the soviets had suppressed holocaust commemoration , describing the holocaust as atrocities against soviet citizens , and avoided mentioning that the jews had been specifically targeted . the russian poet yevgeny yevtushenko penned his underground poem \u201cbabi yar\u201d in 1961 and it opened with the words \u201cno monument stands over babi yar . \u201d the soviet authorities finally relented and , in 1976 , a heroic soviet - style monument was erected , without mentioning that jews were killed there . only when ukraine achieved independence in 1991 was the holocaust allowed to be a topic of open discussion .\nthe film tells of neighborliness , envy , and greed just before the biggest massacre committed by the german einsatzgruppen , or death squads . following the occupation of the city of kiev by the german wehrmacht , a ukrainian woman seizes an opportunity for herself and her daughter and denounces their jewish neighbors . the long - standing friendship between the families gives rise to a surprising twist , which nevertheless cannot stop the killing .\nthe prayer for the dead , in front of a memorial menora at the site of the babi yar massacre . it was hard , on that bright late - summer afternoon , to comprehend the barbarism that had transformed what is now a tranquil park into a scene of inconceivable horror ( during which people numbering more than the present population of gibraltar were put to death in 48 hours ) .\nthe german wehrmacht captured the ukrainian capital , kiev , on september 19 , 1941 . ten days later , the nazis turned their attention to the jews , who were rounded up and taken to babi yar , a ravine on the northeast of the city . it took einsatzgruppe c two days to shoot to death 33 , 771 men , women and children and dump their bodies into the ravine .\nnote produced for ukrainian studio of tv films producers : vitaly korotych , vladimir georgiyenko , alexander shlaen , anatoly vashchenko , khein solganik presented by vitaly korotych , poet credits on film indicate that the historic films come from the : central state archives of cinephotodocuments of the ussr ; ussr gosfilmfond ; central state archives of cinephotodocuments of the ukrainian ssr ; central state archives of the october revolution of the ussr ; central state archives of the october revolution of the ukrainian ssr ; central scientific library of the ukrainian ssr academy of sciences .\ninternational parliamentarians issue a declaration calling for the establishment of a jewish heritage museum in ukraine .\ndear reader , as you can imagine , more people are reading the jerusalem post than ever before . nevertheless , traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high -

day international consultation of parliamentarians ( icp ) , held in the ukrainian capital september 18 - 19 . dozens of delegates from europe and the caucasus discussed how to counter continuing anti - semitic manifestations , especially in the countries of the former soviet union .\nyet ukraine , second only to poland in the number of jews killed , still lacks any national jewish heritage museum . oleksandr feldman , the driving force behind the icp meeting in ukraine , has set the establishment of such a museum as his top priority . \u201ci will get this jewish heritage museum built . i will use my own money to build it and will welcome any partners willing to join the enterprise , \u201d feldman , a member of the ukrainian parliament and a successful businessman , whose wealth has been estimated at some $ 300 million , tells\nukrainian officials demonstrated the importance they attached to the icp by holding the main discussions in parliament , a huge , impressive structure in the neoclassical style . ukrainians are apparently less concerned about terrorism than israelis and the inspection of visitors\u2019 bags was somewhat perfunctory .\n. \u201cthat was a black day for humanity , not only for ukrainians and jews , and the world needs to be reminded of it . \u201d\nthat if the world had acted forcefully against the genocide of the armenians , carried out by the turks in 1915 , the germans might have been more cautious about perpetrating the holocaust .\nhovannisian , suave and elegant , speaks excellent english , which is not surprising since he grew up in the us and made \u201caliya\u201d to armenia 25 years ago . he slams the \u201chypocrisy of the turkish deniers of genocide , who pitch concepts of freedom , human rights and international law\u201d and condemn israeli actions against palestinians , while carrying out heavyhanded military actions against the kurdish minority in turkey . the turkish air force has bombed bases in northern iraq of the kurdish workers\u2019 party , known as the pkk , killing around 200 people in scores of recent raids .\nwould not happen again . \u201d along with the ukrainian representatives , lawmakers from armenia , azerbaijan , georgia , germany , gibraltar , israel , hungary , romania , serbia , turkey and the united kingdom were represented at the conference .\nthe dynamic feldman hammers the point that a heritage museum is essential to pay homage to the 1 , 000 - year history of ukrainian jewry and the horrible destruction wreaked upon it by the nazis . at the end of the gathering , participants issued a second declaration calling for the establishment of a jewish museum in kiev . feldman\u2019s wishes gained a significant boost a few hours later when the ukrainian minister of culture , mykhailo kulyniak , announced , at the icp\u2019s closing reception , that his country would support such an enterprise and the authorities would allocate land for the site .\nthe need for a museum to focus on the jews of ukraine and their destruction was brought home during a visit to a powerful exhibit entitled \u201cshoah by bullets : mass shootings of jews in ukraine 1941 - 1944 . \u201d after the icp deliberations ended , i visited the exhibit , which opened at the ukrainian house in the center of kiev on september 8 .\nthe exhibition is housed with little fanfare in one of the side rooms of ukrainian house , formerly the lenin center , a huge cavernous structure . the somber exhibit features photographs of the murders being carried out and a display of nazi weapons and bullets . visitors can listen to the harrowing filmed testimony of the last remaining ukrainians , who witnessed their jewish neighbors being executed by nazi gangs .\nthe exhibit is based on material collected by french catholic priest patrick desbois , whose grandfather was a french pow who witnessed the murder of jews when he was sent by the germans to rawa - ruska on the polish - ukrainian border . after studying the history of the holocaust , desbois became determined to track down the lost mass graves of murdered victims of the nazis\n( see \u201cfather patrick and his elder brothers , \u201d the jerusalem report ; october 15 , 2007 ) .\nexecution by shooting of jews in soviet ukraine , belarus , moldova and russia was the opening phase of hitler\u2019s final solution . but the nazi bureaucrats of death came to the conclusion that shooting was too inefficient and they consequently developed exterminations camps in auschwitz and other sites in nazi -

so are people . everyone is hysterical and exhausted , and no one more so than darcy baylor ( holly hunter ) . crackling with the actress\u2019 firecracker energy , early introductions to darcy\u2019s life make it clear that there are still plenty of secrets left to be told .\nwhile darcy\u2019s rage is pure and understandable ( and boy does hunter sell the hell out of it ) , \u201cstrange weather\u201d struggles to move past the sense that everything is happening too fast and too close . coincidences fly at every turn , slingshotting both darcy and byrd into a situation neither is prepared for , forcing both actresses to shoulder some heavy scenes ( including a revealing argument that belongs in both ladies\u2019 highlight reel , it\u2019s that potent ) . hunter particularly excels in a confrontation that forces her to run through a gamut of emotions in the minimum of time , but by now that\u2019s old hat for her .\nholly hunter is one of those erstwhile hollywood leading women \u2014 like jill clayburgh or debra winger \u2014 whose name provokes a certain wistfulness , because there\u2019s no good reason why she stayed at the top such a short while . that is , none beyond the industry\u2019s infamously short attention span toward most female stars , who generally get shunted to the b list at an age where almost any other career would just be getting established . those who miss the spunky , rueful , heart - of - gold hunter from her early signature films will find something of a return to that form in \u201c strange weather , \u201d though in a vehicle that doesn\u2019t always serve her to best effect .\nunsurprisingly , i ' ve fallen in love with this film about a grown woman rediscovering herself whilst journeying to take down the man who stole her dead son ' s hot dog company idea . i ' ve nothing further to say besides carrie coon matches holly hunter ' s intensity perfectly , and i love women . cheers !\namidst all the la la land swooning and moonlight cheering , there were , of course , other films at the toronto film festival this year , ones that maybe got lost in the din of louder movies . to give them a little attention , here\u2019s a brief rundown of five movies i saw at tiff that were smaller , but still of note .\nanother is glenne headly ' s brief turn as darcy ' s childhood friend mary lou , who hosts darcy and byrd when they stop for a night in meridian , georgia . mary lou ' s straight - shooting advice , and the giddy reminiscences she and darcy share , are an example of what strange weather does best : showing women simply talking . too bad there ' s so much else crowding it . though she wrings a bit of mild suspense from the haziness surrounding the death of darcy ' s son , dieckmann overestimates our interest in the how and why of the tragedy . what we truly want to know more about is who these women are \u2014 darcy and byrd , but also mary lou and geri \u2014 and what they mean to one another .\nwe first see darcy , a hippie - ish fifty - something georgia university administrative assistant , watering her garden in the middle of the night while smoking a cigarette . ( it ' s something she ' ll do several times over the course of the film , one of those movie - ishly quirky touches that often pass for character nuance . ) byrd ( coon ) , her closest confidante , lives next door with her african -

mannered film buff realize , however , that the next reel to pass through his hands will plunge him into a ghost story of his own , an unnerving but not terribly original nor especially commercial irish chiller that blends edwardian -

black , serious - minded tone , starting with its opening monologue all the way through to the bleak ending . a lot of horror filmmakers feel the need to insert moments of levity into otherwise bleak movies , whether it & apos ; s the introduction of goofy paranormal investigators or a bumbling cop . how important was it for you to maintain the film & apos ; s straight - faced bleakness throughout ? yeah , and that & apos ; s what i loved about certain films in the genre . if you & apos ; re going to make a horror film , then make a horror film . just really go for broke and make a waking nightmare , like that experience i had with the texas chainsaw massacre . but there & apos ; s maybe one or two moments of humor in the canal , maybe with the detective .\nclaire brings over the processed film and david insists that she watch it with him . while david prepares the projector , claire mentions how david called her in hysterics the night before , although he claims that it was not he on the phone . together , they view the footage david shot at the canal and they watch as the shadowy woman rises from the grass and approaches the camera . simultaneously , the woman emerges from the hole in david\u2019s bedroom wall and pulls claire into the crawlspace .\nmcnamara informs david that the police found a hammer in the canal with david\u2019s fingerprints on it . david tells mcnamara about the 1902 murders and the ghost he believes is haunting the home . mcnamara reports david\u2019s mental state to the authorities and children\u2019s services threatens to take away billy .\nin conjunction with the world premiere of the documentary film finding vivian maier the maloof collection is happy to announce an exhibition of vivian maier ' s work at the isa spalding . . .\nthings get worse for david after that\u2014much , much worse . as he begins losing his mind , kavanagh goes all out with the canal & apos ; s horrific imagery . david sees the 1902 murder take place in his bedroom , and it & apos ; s an ferociously brutal stabbing incident partly seen as an old - school film reel ; he later sees a grime - covered , possibly inhuman female figure standing in the tall grass alongside the canal ; figures in the film reels break the fourth wall , the - ending - of -

front assault on david by giving him a more earthly police investigation to contend with , too . the problem is , the angle of david\u2019s possible involvement in his wife\u2019s disappearance doesn\u2019t have the same teeth as a crime drama that it does as a hallucinogenic haunting .\nthe canal has plenty of jump scares , often born out of the loud , discordant clangs of the soundtrack ( particularly when david is changing the reels on a projector to torment himself with more unsettling footage of the sins that were once committed in his house ) , and it has plenty of gore . but the terror of the canal stems from something much deeper than blood or loud bangs . it is the terror of abject certainty - certainty that everything will get worse , much worse , before all of this is over .\nsat down to discuss the rigorous training required of them for the film . given the cast\u2019s reflections , ayer\u2019s directorial style and pre - production process clearly took a toll on the actors physically and emotionally .\nand yet , the canal doesn\u2019t feel like anything special . it doesn\u2019t hook the same way movies like the babadook or sinister do and that\u2019s its biggest downfall . rupert evans gives a fantastic performance , but the character of david is bland and uninteresting . the movie also goes through a lull period where very little happens and the stock - scares that you\u2019ve seen a dozen times this year alone fail to cut the mustard . if the movie didn\u2019t have a terrific close and a few other great scenes , the canal really wouldn\u2019t be worth your time .\nin the wake of his wife\u2019s unexplained disappearance , a film archivist uncovers a supernatural link between his house and a 100 -

to where you were like ,\nwow , i came up with that ? i & apos ; m sick .\n[ laughs . ] at the premiere , one thing that occurred to me is that there & apos ; s actually very little violence in the film , but the violence that is in there , particularly the stabbing scene , i wanted to be very forceful . by making that stabbing scene so hardcore and visceral and happening so early into the film , it leaves a heavy shadow over the rest of the film , so that you don & apos ; t really have to out anymore violence in after that . i think that works and unsettles people . also , the birth scene at the end of the film\u2014to me , that felt like the perfect nightmare image . he was literally being confronted by the awful thing he & apos ; s done . this should be a joyous thing\u2014she should be giving birth to this child but he & apos ; s denied her that , and this is now the true horror of what he & apos ; s done .\ndavid reports alice\u2019s disappearance to the police when she doesn\u2019t come home . detective mcnamara immediately suspects that david killed her . alice\u2019s body is eventually found in the canal , but the coroner finds no signs of foul play and rules her death an accidental drowning . the coroner also reveals that alice was pregnant at the time of her death .\ndavid ( rupert evans ) is a film archivist who appears to have a wonderful home life . but as we learned in eden lake ( 2008 ) , the appearance of normalcy at the start of the film will soon give way to murder and mayhem . david and his very obviously expectant wife alice ( hannah hoekstra ) visit a prospective house to settle in as a family .\ni was going to go into a rant about how the word\ncanal\nis the most disgusting sounding word to ever come out of my mouth thanks to my western new york - learned pronunciation , but i ' ll spare you the navel - gazing ( no i won ' t , i still mentioned it , you still know that if you heard me say the word\ncanal\nyou ' d probably have to ask me to repeat it a few times while stifling laughter , the disgusting sounding word is only rivaled by my pronunciation of\nbagel\n) .\nsound design plays a major role in building the tension , especially during the surreal montages and newsreel footage utilized throughout the film . the crackle and hiss of audio noise highlights every synaptic misfire of david ' s deteriorating mindstate . props are also due the atmospheric score from\nan authentic universal movie camera from 1915\nto film some scenes , which was\nthought to have filmed some action in the trenches during world war 1 .\npretty cool .\nbut instead of looking for heat from the first match strike and a fiery flame , those who let the wick wither and light the room with subtle atmosphere will find their patience rewarded . combining elements of \u201cthe shining\u201d and \u201cthe ring\u201d for a ghost story built on supernatural suspense , \u201cthe canal\u201d is the very definition of a slow - burn psychological thriller , and an excellent one at that .\ngoing back to the film & apos ; s visuals , do those come into your head first and then you backtrack from there and develop the story , or do the story and characters come first and dictate the imagery ? the way i work is , i start with an initial idea . i wanted to make a film with an archivist who suspects his wife is cheating on him . it & apos ; s almost like a stream - of - consciousness style of writing . i begin at the beginning of the script and work my way through it . for this film , i wanted to create a nightmare - like atmosphere throughout it , to have it remain in the main character & apos ; s point - of - view as if he & apos ; s stuck in a nightmare ; the further the film goes on , the more and more nightmarish it becomes .\nchalkroom a . k . a . la camera insabbiata by laurie anderson + hsin - chien huang received the award for best vr experience at the 74th venice international film festival . it was the first time that the festival has held a vr competition .\nit\u2019s bizarre because kavanagh produces some genuinly creepy moments and good scares . his shot choices can be very chilling and his use of sound will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck . he never uses his scares in quick succession either so you\u2019re constantly on the edge of your seat waiting for the next one to come . the final moments of the film are superb and easily the best parts of the film as kavanagh pushes the boundaries of socially acceptable images with frightening visuals that will linger with you long after the credits roll .\nbefore joining treasure she worked for the darklight film festival and with sister production company still films , working on shorts , animation , documentaries and feature films , including tommy palotta\u2019s emmy - winning the last hijack .\nthe canal isn & apos ; t your first horror film , correct ? i made a really low - budget horror film called tin can man ( 2008 ) which is actually being released at the end of this month here in america . i made that for under 1 , 000 euro . i loved working on that because horror films allow you to do absolutely anything . you can push the visuals and sound design as far as you want . i just love the freedom of the genre , so i was really , really eager to get back to it . and any chance to make something about early cinema is exciting for me because i love early cinema and silent cinema .\ndavid williams lives an average , yet idyllic life . a film archivist by trade , david has a gorgeous wife in alice , and a happy young son named billy . five years after moving into a curious little house situated near a canal , david\u2019s mind begins a trip down a jack torrance - like rabbit hole inspired by suspicions of his wife\u2019s infidelity and the discovery of a horrific slaughter that once took place in his home .\ni say this because it increasingly seems as if slant is swinging towards criticism over reviewing by posting articles that appear to assume that the viewer has seen the film . reading this article , i don ' t have the foggiest idea what the premise is .\nwith shades of sinister and the shining , the canal follows david williams ( an impressive rupert evans ) , a film archivist who & apos ; s married to a much more financially successful wife , alice ( hannah hoekstra ) and the father of a dinosaur - loving , five - year - old son , billy ( calum heath ) . one day , david & apos ; s colleague claire ( antonia campbell - hughes ) tells him that a mysterious reel of film has shown up , addressed to him\u2014it & apos ; s titled\ncrime scene ,\nmade in 1902 and shows the aftermath of a triple murder that took place in the house where david and his family currently live .\nupon secretly spying his wife alice engaged in sexual intercourse with her lover alex , david grasps a hammer and briefly contemplates brutal vengeance . a cooler head prevails however , and david makes his unnoticed exit without taking action . into the canal he tosses the hammer before shuffling towards home in frustration .\nmost of the real people who were involved are alive to tell their tales , although aids casts its shadow in the events of the film and has taken several lgsm members ( this is not pride ' s primary subject but readers who would prefer not to know anything about its impact on the film should stop reading here ) . beresford ' s problem was how to make contact with the survivors from the mining community and lgsm with no obvious internet trail to help him .\nbut thankfully it does have these moments which certainly means the canal gets a recommendation . it will scare the easily squeamish and kavanagh\u2019s direction is first class , but you won\u2019t find anything truly groundbreaking . it\u2019s a lot better than some of the ghost story movies that have come out in recent years , but it also isn\u2019t among the best .\nthe precise arrangements are being kept under wraps due to strict confidentiality agreements , but according to italian reports the main reception is to take place on saturday at the \u201c7 - star\u201d aman canal grande resort and is to be attended by a select group of startlingly stellar guests including angelina jolie , brad pitt and matt damon .\na film that at first seemed worthy of an heir to lynch , fincher or polanski ' s cinema but ends up bordering on ridicule .

director michael morrissey has made a smart film on a difficult subject , vigilantism . morrissey claims to be a life - long fan of comics and graphic novels , both of which frequently celebrate the vigilante as a super hero . but morrissey\u2019s point of view is much more nuanced and ambivalent about his avenging protagonist . the film is also an incisive psychological portrait of a young man reaching his breaking point with no one to turn to and , seemingly , no other recourse than to move outside the law .\na traumatized boy grows into a shy , determined teenager who patrols the mean streets of new york city , helping those in need and dishing out severe punishment to remorseless thugs .\nascent experience mount fuji \u2014 through a selection of 4 , 000 photographs snapped over 150 years . the dutch artist fiona tan has built this experimental film out of those stills . screenings at film forum in new york will be free .\ni must admit : i ' m a huge fan of thrillers the only problem is i ' m often disappointed by the weak story plots and clich\u00e9 endings that plague most of the new suspense films that are being dished out by hollywood fools lately . that being said , i didn ' t expect much when i went to see boy wonder at the thrill spy fest in d . c . michael morrissey ' s boy wonder sets itself apart from the senseless crap out there today . it keeps you guessing the whole way through , and just when you think you figured out the ending , you ' re proved wrong . the film is a classic man vs . man revenge plot , with enough twists and turns to keep you interested . for an indie film , i was pretty surprised by the writing and acting . this director is definitely going places . the lead guy who played caleb was awesome too . he definitely has that troubled method actor type quality to him . expect to see him around in the future . not sure whether or not this is going straight to dvd or if it will stay in the festival circuit for awhile , but if you have the opportunity to see boy wonder , you won ' t be disappointed .\nwonder woman after an appearance in \u201cbatman v superman : dawn of justice , \u201d in 2016 , that was effectively a trailer within a film , wonder woman ( gal gadot ) gets a long -

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

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

and - coming boxer who was slated to fight the champ on their station . the entire episode is spent hyping up the underdog , even making a short film about him . at the end , when the fight begins , the underdog is knocked out by a single punch , leaving sctv with nothing but dead air for the remainder of the program as they desperately looked for something , anything they could fill it with .\nwhen a small colorado town is overrun by the flesh hungry dead a small group of survivors try to escape in a last ditch effort to stay alive .\na lot of people probably don\u2019t know what snow buddies is . they probably don\u2019t know that it\u2019s a straight - to - dvd disney movie about a group of talking puppies who set out to win an alaskan dog sled race , let alone that it\u2019s the seventh film in the air bud universe . those who are acquainted with the movie , who know that the titular buddies are the offspring of the golden retriever who broke the animal barrier and set state records for high school basketball and football in air bud and air bud : golden receiver , probably think fondly of snow buddies . it\u2019s a valid entry in the air bud saga , a cute sequel to the first air buddies , and a reminder of the franchise\u2019s better times , before things truly went off the rails with 2011\u2019s spooky buddies . but the behind the scenes story of the making of snow buddies is much darker than that , a tale of negligence and malfeasance in the thirst to expand profit margins and corner the dog movie market .\nthe living dead have taken over the world , and the last humans live in a walled city to protect themselves as they come to grips with the situation .\nwhen the mtv studio caught fire back in the 80s , the old -

year - old reuters photographer , namir noor - eldeen , and his driver , saeed chmagh , 40 . the pentagon blocked an attempt by reuters to obtain the video through a freedom of information request . wikileaks director julian assange said his organisation had to break through encryption by the military to view it .\ndead air can be caused by the failure of equipment , either through mechanical breakdowns or loss of power , which will send studio technicians scrambling to find a solution as quickly as possible . in other cases it can come about due to a radio equivalent of stage fright , or a heroic bsod on the part of the dj . if the dj in question has been under pressure from their higher ups to become lighter and softer as part of studio policy , a brief period of dead air can herald the moment where the dj throws caution to the wind , and decides to tell his bosses ( and everyone else listening , of course ) exactly how he feels about it .\na group of friends enjoying a weekend in the woods play a game of\ndead mary\nand summon an evil witch who begins possessing them one by one .\ngreek chorus : the dead princes , barred from the afterlife , have nothing better to do than follow their brothers around and comment on the action to each other .\nthis trope can also be used to show the lengths radio crews will go to avoid dead air . a trusty sidekick may ramble on in place of their suddenly mute comrades , or a dedicated dj may risk his or her own life to keep broadcasting while disaster strikes the studio . in worst cases it can lead to nothing is scarier .\nfull house : used for a brief joke when some of the family is visiting jesse and joey at their job at the radio station . at one point , they all realize that nothing is being broadcast , and rather than allow the dead air , they all begin chattering , singing , etc . into the mic at the same time .\ndueling movies : with pontypool , another 2009 film about a dumbass dj trapped in his broadcast booth with his colleagues in the middle of a ( not ) zombie apocalypse .\nthe moon is always full : the film takes place over the course of a week , and yet the moon is full in every nighttime scene from beginning to end .\nboth literally and metaphorically the subject of iain banks ' novel dead air . the protagonist is a radio presenter who purposefully avoids moments of silence of radio , but his lifestyle is shown to be a sequence of meaningless , empty events , of no consequence to humanity despite his celebrity status . a british response to bret easton ellis , if you will .\noefelein and shipman are married and live together in alaska with their four - year - old son , william , jr . shipman has taken up writing since retiring from the air force\n: director corbin bernson appears briefly as dj\ndoc f\nin the beginning of the film to deliver a single line while logan is walking in late to the studio .\nthe footage of the july 2007 attack was made public in a move that will further anger the pentagon , which has drawn up a report identifying the whistleblower website as a threat to national security . the us defence department was embarrassed when that confidential report appeared on the wikileaks site last month alongside a slew of military documents .\nsightings : look for mention of this urban legend early in the 1999 film magnolia . also , the 1998 mordecai richler novel barney\u2019s version and the 1989 peter mayle novel a year in provence make use of the legend . an episode of cbs\u2019s csi : crime scene investigation ( \u201cscuba doobie - doo , \u201d original air date 25 october 2001 ) was based on this legend .\nthe biopic man on the moon has a scene depicting the filming of this sketch . the snl producers face - palm over kaufman ' s apparent stage fright and the resulting dead air , because kaufman never told them that the awkward silence ( and the awkward doing - nothing - while - waiting - for - his - cue ) was the entire joke of the sketch .\nin gremlins , the unseen dj rockin ' rickie gets attacked by gremlins during a broadcast , but is back in the studio and boasting that he ' s still on the air soon afterward .\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\ninitially the us military said that all the dead were insurgents . then it claimed the helicopters reacted to an active firefight . assange said that the video demonstrated that neither claim was true .\nin barrow hill , the radio dj you ' ve just phoned gets chased from her beat - up winnebago by the stalking menace . if you hang up the phone , go back inside , and check the radio , all you hear is dead air . this can be fixed if you visit the now - abandoned winnebago and reset the equipment to broadcast a station - identification message .\nan instance of truth in television , much to the chagrin of radio broadcasters everywhere . some stations will even pre - record interviews and re - edit them just to avoid it , or have songs on standby to use at a moment ' s notice if needed . additionally , many stations around the world ( particularly public broadcasters ) are programmed to switch to an emergency broadcast system , often if there is dead air for any more than 30 seconds , making this something of a justified trope . there is also a practice where broadcasters pre - record dialogue and play them in lieu of live conversations to fill time , known as relief tapes . since dead air can occur for almost any reason in real life , only notable instances should be listed in the examples section .\nthe star model p is lying next to the dead mexican . note the trigger guard is rounded and 1911 style trigger . the bottom of the front strap appears raised like the star series pistols .\nto be fair , the announcer ' s inner monologue shows that said guest did this every time ; he ' d come in and rant himself into a frenzy over something , mainly as an overreaction to some perceived danger , before reaching a point where ' d he just sit there seething until someone else spoke . the announcer recognized the signs and reacted quickly to prevent the dead air from lasting any longer .\nhaving recently witnessed the horrific results of a top secret project to bring the dead back to life , a distraught youth performs the operation on his girlfriend after she ' s killed in a motorcycle accident .\nconnoisseurs of sarah kennedy knew something interesting was going on when dead air announced she had been pulled from her morning show on bbc radio as too , err , ill to continue . this happened more than once , and by the third time , her producers knew to withdraw her from service during music , so that the stand - in replacement could seamlessly take over without too much of an upheaval or necessary silence .\nin this classic film by woody allen , featuring both allen and diane keaton , a health food store owner is frozen and brought into the future in order to help a group of radicals overthrow the government .\nwhen sandy , a call girl at\nthe naked eye\n, ends up dead , her friend and only ally in the world , jake , goes on a manhunt to find out who killed her .\nthis coming of age story is about two teenage girls who travel across america in 1962 with the hope of meeting eleanor roosevelt during the cuban missile crisis . the film was produced by leonardo dicaprio\u2019s appian way productions .\na united states navy destroyer escort in 1943 disappears from the philadelphia harbor only to find himself launched into the future in 1984 . this film is based off of an event that took place during world war ii .\njohn carpenter directs this film about jenny hayden , a young widow whose life takes an interesting turn when she encounters an alien , named starman , who takes the form of her deceased husband and then kidnaps her .\nindeed , the bbc has automatic systems ensuring that if dead air goes on too long , it is usually replaced by automatic music or a recording of birdsong . this is because if the gap goes on for too long - some authorities say five minutes , some six - the silence will be replaced by the national emergency tapes to be broadcast to the british nation in the event of nuclear war , natural disaster or the armageddon .\ni watched this film mistakenly thinking that it was that other radio station zombie flick . the shonky production values and low - rent cast soon gave away that this was another one of the those cheap sci - fi channel style knock offs . the central performance from bill moseley is initially quite engaging as the dubious radio shock jock but as the film goes on becomes less and less convincing as he is actually required to act . the rest of the cast have little to do other than look concerned and have no depth whatsoever . the cinematography is dull , flat and completely uninspired , like so many of these kind of films . it doesn ' t even manage a decent bit of convincing gore , the zombie make up is literally pathetic apart from one notable exception towards the end of the film . the film tries to inject originality and a message into it ' s concoction of half baked and ripped off ideas by somehow equating this outbreak with intolerance towards islam and the war on terror . this is woefully handled with all the intellectual clout of a 6 year old . as the characters and seemingly the writers are unable to distinguish the difference between race and religion - describing all people of a certain skin colour as\nmuslims .\nmost notably one character is revealed to be muslim by skin colour alone . at the same time the\nmuslim\nterrorists who cause the outbreak are the usual psychopathic stereotype . presumably the far far superior pontypool had a similar budget as dead air yet shines everywhere where this film fails miserably .\nand takes them both . the hapless goatherd gets dragged along by the villains for most of the rest of the film . it does turn out well for him in the end , though , as he ' s seen\nstephen king wrote both the novel and the teleplay for this creepy film where a writer / professor who is also a recovering alcoholic agrees to become the caretaker of a colorado hotel in the dead of winter . though he is joined by his wife and son , the family soon finds itself becoming more and more isolated , and the professor seems to be dealing with some evil forces that he is helpless to protect himself or his family against .\nnot only is he actually tristan ' s uncle , but the only time he actually meets the two main characters is in the film ' s climax , just in time to help fight the big bads and get killed .\nthis film marks the final appearance of actor paul walker as he stars together with vin diesel , dwayne johnson , and jason statham in the sequel to the fast and furious 6 . though filming was delayed midway through , walker\u2019s brothers were used as stand = ins and the film was successfully completed . after defeating competitors abroad in tokyo drift , walker and diesel return to the united states to face more challenges , dangers , and high voltage chase scenes .\na highly dramatic example came during hurricane harvey , when khou , the houston cbs affiliate , needed to evacuate their flooding studios . after the evacuation a single reporter was left on air and continued to broadcast for around 20 minutes ( and helped save the life of a man trapped in a truck during the broadcast ) until the signal cut out . then khou ' s sister station in dallas provided coverage on social media until khou could return to the air using a temporary studio .\na remote broadcast ran into trouble and went dead . station manager andy wanted to run some psas since that ' d at least be something , but les decided to go live with one of his irrelevant anti - communist speeches instead .\nthe virus took hold of the set rather quickly . it was february in british columbia , the perfect time and place to film exterior winter shots , but an environment that only helped the illness spread faster . production tried to prevent impending disaster , quarantining those infected , giving them iv drips in between scenes . but it was too late . the virus had already sunk its teeth into so many . and that\u2019s how five puppies ended up dead during the filming of snow buddies .\nafter ground forces arrive and the children are discovered , the american air crew blame the iraqis .\nwell it ' s their fault for bringing kids in to a battle ,\nsays one .\nthat ' s right ,\nsays another .\nthe lead helicopter , using the moniker crazyhorse , opens fire .\nhahaha . i hit ' em ,\nshouts one of the american crew . another responds a little later :\noh yeah , look at those dead bastards .\nin the motel a drug dealer is seen using a cobray m11 / 9 . as with numerous other guns depicted , the m11 / 9 is an anachronism for the film ' s date of 1980 , as it was first manufactured in 1983 .\nseveral norinco type 56 copies of the ak - 47 assault rifle ( both the fixed stock type 56 and folding stock type 56 - 1 ) can be seen on the ground next to dead drug dealers at the site of the failed exchange .\nthe film is a typical zombie film , virus infects town , people start biting each other , virus spreads by the bites , and a handful of survivors try to make it out of town alive . in this one the military is brought in to enforce a quarantine on the small town of leadville , co because of the mysterious virus . once they realize the virus eventually makes people start ravenously attacking each other , it ' s too late . . . except for a few . [ 1 ]\nthis film follows the ups and downs of the prescott family , followed through four generations from the erie canal to their settled home in the west . along the way they encounter several challenges , including pirates , drowning , and losing a fortune in california .\nbefore snow buddies began filming in early 2007 , keystone productions purchased 25 golden retriever puppies from alex and suzana schock , who ran a commercial breeder out of white lake , n . y . , a hudson valley town about two hours outside of new york city . the dogs were put on a plane at jfk airport and shipped across the country to sea -

up ( between tristan and septimus ) to take down a more dangerous villain ( lamia ) , but the two characters weren ' t enemies beforehand\u2014in fact , they ' d never met ( though septimus did beat up tristan ' s mentor , captain shakespeare ) . septimus lampshades it nonetheless \u2014 he points out while neither of them can trust the other , neither do they have much choice but to work together .\nno country for old men\nis as good a film as the coen brothers , joel and ethan , have ever made , and they made\nfargo .\nit involves elements of the thriller and the chase but is essentially a character study , an examination of how its people meet and deal with a man so bad , cruel and unfeeling that there is simply no comprehending him . chigurh is so evil , he is almost funny sometimes .\nhe has his principles ,\nsays the bounty hunter , who has knowledge of him .\nwhen a representative for the american humane association \u2014the group that asserts that \u201cno animals were harmed in the making of this film\u201d\u2014arrived on set on feb . 19 , the first day of filming , trouble was already brewing . of the 30 dogs acquired by production ( five more had been bought from a canadian breeder ) , 15 were on set . the other 15 had been showing signs of illness for about two weeks , and were being treated by local veterinarians . they were eventually diagnosed with giardia and coccidia , a parasitic disease common among young dogs .\nthe man is named anton chigurh . no , i don ' t know how his last name is pronounced . like many of the words mccarthy uses , particularly in his masterpiece suttree , i think it is employed like an architectural detail : the point is not how it sounds or what it means , but the brushstroke it adds to the sentence . chigurh ( javier bardem ) is a tall , slouching man with lank , black hair and a terrifying smile , who travels through texas carrying a tank of compressed air and killing people with a cattle stungun . it propels a cylinder into their heads and whips it back again .\nchigurh seems to prefer to use a captive bolt pistol on his victims when he can . he also uses it to blow out door locks . the captive bolt pistol is a pneumatic gun that fires a bolt into the brains of cattle to stun them before slaughter . like the name suggests the bolt never entirely leaves the gun , it is shot out by air ( or a blank ) and then retracts back into the gun by return springs . though not a\nfirearm\nit is a gun and does play a big role in several scenes . anton most likely chose this weapon because it requires no ammunition , is almost completely silent , and leaves no physical evidence ( bullets and / or empty casings ) .\nchigurh is one strand in the twisted plot . ed tom bell , the sheriff played by jones , is another . the third major player is llewelyn moss ( josh brolin ) , a poor man who lives with his wife in a house trailer , and one day , while hunting , comes across a drug deal gone wrong in the desert . vehicles range in a circle like an old wagon train . almost everyone on the scene is dead . they even shot the dog . in the back of one pickup are neatly stacked bags of drugs . llewelyn realizes one thing is missing : the money . he finds it in a briefcase next to a man who made it as far as a shade tree before dying ."]}

he ' s just waiting to unleash his cinematic brilliance upon the world and this film is his precursor .\na quiet contemplative film that explores the tensions of a husband and wife splitting up over the course of a summer holiday and how that dynamic affects the children , who don ' t understand what is happening . lots of lovely scenery , young , nubile bodies , and and some solid acting mark this film . laura neiva , as philipa , the oldest girl , is quite lovely and gave a strong performance . vincent cassel and debora bloch played her parents and camille belle was the love interest for the father . all is not as it seems however and when the true reason for the breakup comes out it does manage to surprise , at least a little . one has to wonder how many bathing suits a young girl like that might own , as it seems that philipa never wears the same one twice .\nthe film tells about filipa ( laura neiva ) , a 14 year old girl who spends her holidays with her family in the town of buzios , in rio de janeiro . while she discovers herself , facing passions and common challenges of adolescence , filipa also has to deal with the extramarital relationship that her father , matias ( vincent cassel ) , has with angela ( camilla belle ) , a neighbor of his beach house .\nthis is an excellent movie to watch and you cannot help but fall in love with the beach over and over again . cassel is charismatic and delivers an impressive performance of a father and lover . some of the shots are beautiful and the pace of the film ticks along nicely whereby at the end your feelings towards the characters have changed . a great story of family and a young girls exploration of adult behaviour . highly recommend .\none of the more enjoyable discoveries in covering a film festival is the uncovering of new talent : whether it be behind or in front of the camera . at this year ' s cannes , i was introduced to a foursome of directors , several actresses and a genius performance from a french speaking newcomer you ' ll leave an imprint on world audiences . one honorable mention i have before we commence this top ten list , are the child actors from michael haneke michael haneke\nprobably one of my favorite foreign films ! gorgeous , empathetic and balanced portrayal , as seen through the eyes of a young girl , of a family struggling to stay together amid fears and passions that threaten to tear it apart . the actors are well cast and believable . the story has adequate depth and , as with the conflicting emotions of its characters , surprising twists and turns . not only that , this film offers the best scenery of the coast of brazil ! beautifully done .\nsome hours after midnight , the typhoon abated so much , that through the strenuous exertions of starbuck and stubb - - one engaged forward and the other aft - - the shivered remnants of the jib and fore and main - top - sails were cut adrift from the spars , and went eddying away to leeward , like the feathers of an albatross , which sometimes are cast to the winds when that storm - tossed bird is on the wing .\nbeautifully filmed and excellently acted , the bond between father and daughter , combined with their parallel experiences , run through the film and hold the story together . while it is fragmented in places , as some critics have commented , i think it demonstrates perfectly the complexity of family life , while the heat of brazil provides a perfect backdrop , reflecting the passions and emotional perils of the main characters . and vincent cassell proves once more his acting skills as well as his dexterity and language abilities , while ably demonstrating that emotional angst can strike at any age .\nadrift\nis the eleventh episode of the second series of british science fiction television series torchwood , which was first broadcast by bbc three on 19 march 2008 , and repeated on bbc two one week later . the episode was written by series one and two head writer chris chibnall , directed by mark everest and produced by sophie fante and richard stokes . the episode featured the five initial series regulars john barrowman , eve myles , burn gorman , naoko mori and gareth david lloyd plus recurring actors kai owen and tom price .\nadrift\nis the 61st episode and the fourth season premiere of the science fiction television series stargate atlantis . the episode first aired in the united states on september 28 , 2007 on the sci fi channel , and subsequently aired october 9 on sky one in the united kingdom . it was written by executive producer martin gero , and directed by martin wood . the episode continues from the third season finale\nfirst strike\n, where atlantis drops out of hyperspace in the middle of deep space with 24 hours of power left after an asuran attack .\ni can ' t suggest enough that true cinephiles should seek out adrift . you will fall in love it just as i did , i ' m almost certain of that . and although the story may not be the most impressive part , there will be so much more you ' ll adore , that it ' ll be hard not to see past some of its minor flaws . it ' s not exactly a sleeper hit yet , but with some more time and more critical attention ( which it ' s likely to receive ) , it ' ll be on its way .\nadrift ( stylized as adr1ft ) is a first - person adventure video game developed by three one zero and published by 505 games . it was released on march 28 , 2016 for microsoft windows , and scheduled to release on july 15 , 2016 for playstation 4 and later in 2016 for xbox one . the story follows an astronaut , who floats through the wreckage of a destroyed space station with no memory of the incident . over the course of the game , players find clues that piece together the events of the incident , and attempt to repair the escape vehicle to return home .\nadrift\nis the second episode of the second season of lost and the 27th episode overall . the episode was directed by stephen williams and written by steven maeda and leonard dick . it first aired on september 28 , 2005 , on the american broadcasting company . in the episode , flashbacks depict michael dawson ' s struggles for the custody of his son walt lloyd . the realtime events show michael and sawyer , who have just had their raft destroyed , becoming hostile towards each other as they drift back to shore , while kate austen and john locke enter the mysterious hatch and encounter desmond hume .\nthe storyline picks up the raft storyline which was left hanging after season one ' s finale ,\nexodus\n, and also revisits the events seen in the previous episode ,\nman of science , man of faith\n. originally envisioned as a sawyer episode , the episode was rewritten to focus on michael . the sea scenes were shot on the hawaiian shoreline .\nadrift\nhad 23 . 17 million american viewers and stands as the second largest audience on the series ' run , but received negative reviews , which focused criticism on the flashbacks , the raft scenes , and the lack of plot advancement .\nricardo della rosa ' s cinematography , with its etherial crane shots and sunset glow , may be the primary element of adrift to compliment , but that does not mean the narrative and pathos are any less deserving . filipa ' s coming - of - age sexual journey equates to a cinematic version of jacques lacan ' s mirror stage , as she attempts to discover meaning outside her own sexuality through its mirroring in her parents adulterous relationships . as heartbreaking a depiction of divorce as i ' ve ever seen , but equally tempered with a loving , honest portrayal of a caring family . a personal tale of familial maturation that i could float in again and again .\nwhere adrift struggles the most is that it ' s not anything new , it ' s not a story we haven ' t already seen before . and unfortunately it never hits on the emotional level that i was hoping it eventually would . thanks to all the aforementioned technical aspects , it ' s still wonderful and occasionally heartwrenching to watch it play out , but it never reaches the kind of brilliance that would make it one of my absolute cannes favorites . that said , vincent cassel again impresses me with an extraordinary performance , as does newcomer laura neiva , who could very well be the most talented actor of this entire cast , even if it is only her first major role .\nspending summer vacation with her family in buzios , filipa , a fourteen -

coated pellets . this could have resulted in the higher rate of drug release that was observed for the eudragit\u00ae rs coated pellets cured for longer times at higher curing temperatures . the formation of molecular -

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

from entertainment value , filipino mothers often tell their children aswang stories to keep them off the streets and keep them home at night .\nlike ufo stories , aswang stories are one of the favorites of sensationalist tabloids , especially when there are grave robberies , kidnapped children , strange noises , people with eccentric or peculiar habits , and other bizarre incidents that can somehow be attributed to them .\nstories of the aswang are popular in the visayan region of the philippines , especially in the western provinces of capiz ( a province on panay island ) , iloilo and antique . capiz , in particular , is singled out by tabloids as an area of high supernatural activity : a home to aswangs , manananggals , giant half - horse men ( tikbalang ) and other mythological creatures . many of those who live in capiz are superstitiously inclined , and adorn their homes with garlic bulbs , holy water and other objects believed to repel aswang . since the stories recount aswang eating unborn children , pregnancy is a time of great fear for superstitious filipinos .\nin southern luzon , the city of antipolo is rumoured by locals to be a popular place for aswang sightings , especially during the holy week , where legend says that paranormal activities are at their peak during the three days that christ was dead .\nsome have contended that the aswang is the progenitor of many classified cryptozoological species .\nan aswang ( or asuwang ) is a mythical creature in filipino folklore . the aswang is an inherently evil vampire - like creature and is the subject of a wide variety of myths and stories . spanish colonists noted that the aswang was the most feared among the mythical creatures of the philippines , even in the 16th century .\nthe myth of the aswang is well known throughout the philippines , except in the ilocos region , which is the only region that does not have an equivalent myth . it is especially popular in the western visayan regions such as capiz , iloilo , negros , bohol , masbate , aklan , antique . other regional names for the aswang include\ntik - tik\n,\nwak - wak\nand\nsoc - soc\n.\nthe wide variety of descriptions in the aswang stories make it difficult to settle upon a fixed definition of aswang appearances or activities . however , several common themes that differentiate aswangs from other mythological creatures do emerge : aswangs are shapeshifters . stories recount aswangs living as regular townspeople . as regular townspeople , they are quiet , shy and elusive . at night , they transform into creatures such as a cat , pig , bird , or most often , a dog . they enjoy eating unborn fetuses and small children , favoring livers and hearts . some have long proboscises , which they use to suck the children out of their mothers ' wombs or their homes .\nsome are so thin that they can hide themselves behind a bamboo post . they are fast and silent . some also make noises , like the tik - tik , ( the name was derived from the sound it produces ) which are louder the further away the aswang is , to confuse its potential victim ; and the bubuu , an aggressive kind of aswang that makes a sound of a laying hen at midnight . they may also replace their live victims or stolen cadavers with doppelgangers made from tree trunks or other plant materials . this facsimile will return to the victim ' s home , only to become sick and die . an aswang will also have bloodshot eyes , the result of staying up all night searching for houses where wakes are held to steal the bodies .\nby :

like hair and blacked - out teeth , for example ) that tends to distract some viewers . this ungainly style , however , nicely complements the story , serving as the visual equivalent of tom ' s own boyish awkwardness and enhancing the\naw shucks\nessence of the missouri boys ' barefoot adventures .\nreview of the film ends with the reviewer stating :\n. . . get busy [ mr . selznick ] on\n. new york : wid ' s films and film folk , inc . february 14 , 1938 . p . 2 .\nthe film was released on dvd in 2000 by the library of moving images , and again in 2006 by unknown video .\nthis is without doubt one of the best music videos i have shot , it is truly iconic . the film was all shot electronically as opposed to film . this was before my days as a director and was directed by alex and martin from partisan\n, took over the direction of the film , he discarded the footage that had already been shot ( in black and white ) , and began production on the film in technicolor . john weaver was assigned to refurbish the script to\nmeet color demands .\nfootloose and fancy free tom roams the neighborhood and spots clara horton as becky thatcher picking daisies in the front yard of her home . clara was in sore need of one of those cinematographers who specialized in glamor photography . she is filmed in harsh sunlight in a baby jane wig with braids and decked out in a wedding cake dress and full length pantalettes which make it hard to look demure . the whole effect is quite unflattering and you are left to wonder what charm this becky holds for tom . tom throws a few cartwheels and retrieves with his toes a daisy becky coquettishly dropped for him .\nlooking for a film director / dop for an upcoming project ? i ' d love to talk . email me : nick @ urltoken\nit is , alas , a lost film . there seems to even be very few stills from it surviving \u2013 such a shame .\nnext day tom is assigned his whitewashing punishment . aunt polly ' s young slave jim , who is as big as tom , walks up with an empty bucket on his way to the pump and is waylaid and tempted by tom as a candidate to do the whitewashing . jim demurs until the unveiling of tom ' s sore toe proves to be more than he can resist and he bends over to survey this wonder . in a nice bit of staging we see polly come out of the house , size up the situation and put quite a bit of effort into removing one of her slippers . thus she telegraphs jim ' s fate - - polly has his rear end in her sites and follows through with style . after jim runs off , polly elaborately replaces the slipper on her foot and goes back inside .\nthat night tom makes his stealthy visit home but decides not to leave a message for his aunt when he learns of the memorial service planned for him and his companions . tom returns to the island and plots their auspicious return to the village . on the day of the funeral the congregation is properly broken up and the minister appropriately dumbfounded when the three drowned boys brazenly and unhesitatingly march down the aisle of the church to be reunited with their families . widow douglas hugs and kisses huck and he grimaces with distaste at this unwelcome attention . the choir sings ; becky reconciles with tom ; and huck , wiping the widow ' s kisses off his face , beats a skulks out of the church grinning like a feral animal . tom and becky hold the same hymnal and sing as we iris out . the end .\nafter tom ' s whitewashing triumph he walks back into polly ' s house , hides his treasure and finds his aunt just as twain described her sleeping in a chair with her cat in her lap . tom takes polly outside and she responds with a hands up\ntake\nof shock and disbelief . she escorts him back into the kitchen and rewards him with an apple while tom clandestinely\nhooks\ntwo doughnuts . here ivers took twain ' s mention of polly ' s\nhappy scriptural flourish\nand gives her the line ,\nwhat you earn by honest effort and without sin has the best flavor .\nduring the encounter with alfred temple we are introduced to huckleberry finn ( robert gordon ) who sits nearby and witnesses the massacre . huck is the most overblown character in an otherwise fairly understated cast . dressed in an exaggerated ragged costume reminiscent of burlesque theater and grinning a gap - toothed daft smile , huck sits watching the fight , holding a watermelon under one arm . huck ' s hat has the remnants of a brim left ; mostly just a shabby crown . after alfred has been vanquished , the retreating boy hurls a rock at tom ' s back and tom chases him home where alfred torments him from inside the house while his mother remonstrates tom with ,\nyou ' re a bad , vicious child !\n( or young hoodlum judging by his size and temperament . ) to celebrate tom ' s victory huck breaks his watermelon in half and splits it with the champion .\nthe first sound adaptation of mt ' s novel was made in 1930 by paramount , and featured jackie coogan ( whom chaplin had made a star at age 7 in the kid [ 1921 ] ) as tom . huck was played by junior durkin , becky by mitzi green , and sid by jackie searl . clara blandick , who would be better known for an auntie named em in the wizard of oz ( 1939 ) played aunt polly . in the second still photo below , charlie stevens is playing joe and tully marshall is muff potter ( the actor who played dr . robinson was uncredited ) : polly , tom & sid | in the graveyard | tom sees joe\nfor my recommendation of best mark twain film , i ' d have to go with 1985 ' s\nthe adventures of mark twain\n. it ' s a wonderfully sensitive claymation film that offsets the problem of translating twain ' s clever turns of a phrase by just having him say them !\nthe film was released on dvd in 2000 by the library of moving images , [ 3 ] and again in 2006 by unknown video . [ 4 ]\nthis 1973 musical adaption was reader ' s digest ' s first venture into movie - making . it starred johnny whitaker as tom , jeff east as huck and jodie foster as becky . the score ( by richard sherman , robert sherman and john williams ) received both oscar and golden globe nominations . reader ' s digest used jeff east again when it brought out a musical version of huckleberry finn in 1974 , though tom ' s character doesn ' t appear in this sequel .\n, will you , before we begin throwing tomatoes .\nlyle wheeler was nominated for an academy award for best art decoration for his work on the film .\nsunday finds tom being forced to wash up and don the same ridiculous apparel that his fellow sunday school students wear - - a tight waist length roundabout - - and crowned with a precious beribboned little straw hat . the fact that the actors are too old to be dressed this way underscores the absurdity . tom parlays his whitewashing booty to buy out the prize tickets that will earn him the coveted bible and squirms with embarrassment when he misidentifies david and goliath as the first two apostles in front of becky and her father judge thatcher . in a departure from the original text the widow douglas is introduced as tom ' s sunday school teacher in this sequence although she won ' t have anything else to do until she appears in the two sequels .\nfilm director / dop for various brands including kfc , garnier , tesco , pizza hut , mcdonalds , philadelphia , tgi fridays , innocent , bertolli and pizza hut .\nmonday morning tom tries to avoid going to school by claiming a toothache . straight from the book - - polly ties one end of a string to tom ' s tooth and the other end to the bed post . she ' s about to shove the flaming end of some firewood in his face to complete the procedure when there is an inexplicable cut to huck finn outside shooting at something off screen with his sling shot . in the following shot tom surveys his tooth dangling from the string . the set dressing in polly ' s home is unusual - - an elaborate cooking stove which probably post dates the civil war is a prominent fixture and polly ' s four poster ( in which cousin mary also sleeps ) is in the same room with the stove .\nwe hope you will enjoy the following film . please consider making a donation so that we can continue preserving films and presenting them on our web site . thank you !\nthe united artists release includes most of the sequences familiar to readers of the book , including the fence - whitewashing episode ;

[ 9 ] film daily called it\na triumph for all concerned .\n[ 10 ] john mosher of the new yorker praised kelly and gillis as\naltogether very much the twain children\nand called weaver ' s screenplay\nexcellent\n. [ 11 ]\n, wrote in 1929 that in seeing the film , he realized that taylor\ntook a copy of the original edition and made his characters fit my drawings . i had not seen the book in years , and as my characters appeared on the screen , resembling my types so faithfully , even as to pose , my mind ran back to the lanky boy who posed for me and the pride i had felt in doing my first book .\na 1923 edition of the book published by harper & co . used stills from the film as illustrations .\nthanks so much for joining in with your review of this interesting ( if flawed ) film . you ' re quite right about the clever phrases not translating well to the screen . i know that silent cyrano de bergerac ' s ( gorgeous though they are ) all have the same problem .\nnews item , selznick international made a separate print of the film for release in great britain . william hamilton burnside , an english sales consultant , helped the studio eliminate\namerican colloquialisms , dialogue and situations in the missouri boy story that might not be understood by a british audience .\nthe\ni have also published articles on the reception of boris karloff and bela lugosi ( with mark jancovich ) , the silent film star jack pickford , the first african - american director oscar micheaux , the teen tv series kyle xy , and representations of bipolar disorder in the tv series rookie blue .\nsome exterior scenes were filmed at big bear lake , lake malibu , paramount ranch in agoura , california , and rko ' s encino movie ranch . other scenes were filmed on recycled sets left over from a star is born ( 1937 ) , such as the boldgett family home interior ( kitchen , living room , & bedroom ) , and a silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon . mississippi river long shots from tom saywer would later be reused in mgm s 1951 musical showboat .\ncontemporary sources note that an exhibit called\nthe making of a contemporary film ,\nsponsored by the museum of modern art in new york , featured material that attested to the exhaustive research efforts that went into making the picture . for example , the studio ' s research department was said to have consulted over one hundred sources in order to insure the authenticity of the setting and the characters in the film . among the many experts who were consulted were bernard de voto , h . l . mencken and albert bigelow paine . late 19th century american school books and missouri newspapers were also used for research purposes , as was mark twain ' s book ,\ntime out london called the film\nextraordinarily handsome to look at , with exquisite technicolor camerawork by wong howe and some imaginative designs . . . [ it ] has its longueurs , but it does capture the sense of a lazy mississippi summer and much of the spirit of the book , with jory making a superbly villainous injun joe .\n[ 12 ]\n. william d . taylor , the director of both films , conceived of the second story at the same time as the first , but decided there was too much material for one production . where the characters overlapped , the same actors were used in both films . among the many other film adaptations of twain ' s novel are : paramount - publix ' s 1930 production\nopens and closes with an actor portraying mark twain , and famous players - lasky used an illustration of twain in its advertisements for the film to give it an air of legitimacy . twain , who had died in 1910 , is shown lying in bed with a portable writing desk ( as he was known to do ) , surrounded by the characters from the book . the ad reads ,\njesse l . lasky presents : a new mark twain - paramount artcraft picture\ntommy kelly , a bronx fireman ' s son , was selected for the title role through a national campaign waged by producer david o . selznick , who later would conduct a similar search for an actress to portray scarlett o ' hara in gone with the wind . according to a 1937 memo he sent to story editor katharine brown , he originally hoped to cast an orphan as tom , feeling such a stunt would receive\ntremendous attention and arouse such a warm public feeling that it would add enormously to the gross of the picture .\n[ 4 ] kelly failed to achieve the star status of fellow child actor freddie bartholomew , and after an inconsequential career he retired and later became a school teacher .

2016 .\nnews items , producer david o . selznick made two unsuccessful attempts to film this picture before production commenced for the third and final time on july 18 , 1937 . the first round of filming , which began on march 27 , 1937 , was suspended and then begun again on 24 jun , only to be halted for a second time shortly thereafter . h . c . potter directed the first two production attempts , and although it is not clear why the first two rounds of filming did not succeed , a modern source claims that potter walked off the picture because of\nselznickian interference .\nafter reading the comment cards completed by an audience at a sneak preview of the film , selznick sent director taurog a memo expressing concern about the climactic scene in the cave , which many viewers had described as\ntoo horrible for children .\nhe advised taurog\nthis worried me , because we certainly want the picture to be for a family audience ,\nand as a result he was cutting a close - up of becky , in which her hysteria was\nperhaps a shade too much that of a very ill woman , rather than that of a little girl ,\nwith regrets .\n[ 6 ]\ndirector william desmond taylor was shot to death on february 1 , 1922 in his los angeles bungalow . no person was ever convicted of the crime . in 1967 film director king vidor conducted a personal investigation of the crime . vidor concluded that a woman named charlotte shelby was probably the guilty party . shelby was opposed to the relationship taylor had with her daughter , actress mary miles minter . charlotte shelby died in 1957 and the crime is still officially unsolved . an extensive account of the taylor mystery and vidor ' s investigation is given in sidney d . fitzpatrick ' s a cast of killers , e . p . dutton , ny 1986 .\ndirector taylor ' s life also ended prematurely , in one of the most intriguing mysteries ever to occur within the walls of hollywood babylon . found dead of a gunshot wound in his home on february 2 , 1922 , taylor was believed to be romantically linked to actresses mabel normand and mary miles minter , though neither was charged with the murder . theories of the taylor murder abound and to this day it continues to be a source of debate among film history and true crime aficionados . because it occurred shortly after the roscoe\nfatty\narbuckle scandal ( in which he was charged in the death of actress virginia rappe ) , the taylor murder was held up by moral reformers as further evidence of hollywood debauchery and one more reason why the industry should be subjected to tighter censorship . the hays office was established that very year .\ncopyright \u00a9 2000 mark twain forum this review may not be published or redistributed in any medium without permission .\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 .\n0 of 1 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\nthe return of draw egan ( 1916 ) -

sony didn\u2019t conduct a press day for the movie ( translation : no stars did interviews ) and hid the film from everyone , including journalists , until three days before it opened . if they had , they might be even more perplexed . because aloha actually features one of the more prominent asian / mixed heritage female leads in any studio movie in recent memory .\ndiesel , in a recent chat with screen junkies , said that\nif it ' s up to [ guardians director ] james gunn , you ' re going to see a groot / rocket movie . after [ avengers : infinity war ] , it ' s highly possible .\nwhile that may just be wishful thinking on behalf of the fast & furious star , it ' s not entirely outside the realm of possibility \u2014 marvel launched a rocket raccoon & groot comic book series a year ago as part of its all - new all - different linewide relaunch , suggesting that there are definitely some at marvel who see the potential of such a cute pairing as a headline act .\nmost of the script was improvised by the actors on the spot . scenes were roughly planned beforehand and often there was only a single take . sometimes the director would film the actors without them knowing , producing truly spontaneous footage .\nof course , if the social and political satire flies over the heads of modern viewers , we can at least take comfort in the fact that contemporary audiences also took the film at face value and simply enjoyed the fantastic adventures .\nmany of the issues flagged as errors in the film are instances where information was omitted or edited from the novel for time or pacing . for example , in the novel , watney accurately calculates how much soil he will need for his crops , which is substantially more than what is seen in the film ; repairing the airlock is a more involved process ;\nhab canvas\nis actually a high - tech radiation - resistant material and not a simple tarp ; the explosion during the water experiment happens for more complex reasons than depicted in the film ;

out cabin . the lighthearted comedy sees them battle love and life to win the most important thing : each other .\n' he posted the picture , which also included rakeysh , and put up a note , which read - ' teen thay bhai aur ek mein ' . he also mentioned the release date . it is really nice of him to do this , ' said the publicist of the film .\n\u201conce they became familiar with each other , chemistry started building in . this was very important because otherwise actors sometimes just land on sets and start reporting for the shoot without any preparations . none of that happened in case of \u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 , \u201d says mehra who had last worked with a ensemble cast in \u2018delhi 6\u2032 .\npvr pictures ltd . and rakeysh omprakash mehra pictures ' 3 thay bhai ( ua ) is the story of three brothers whose grandfather dies , leaving behind property worth crores of rupees , which they can inherit subject to some conditions .\nteen thay bhai is a story of three brothers who are forced to spend their time together because of their grandfather ' s will . later they fight over their ancestral property as they must fulfil their late grandfather ' s wishes , to get it . the movie was directed by rakeysh omprakash mehra under the banner of pvr and rakeysh om prakash mehra pictures .\nteen thay bhai is , in fact , more in the league of the recent gross - out hollywood comedies . it transposes them to a rustic punjabi setting , even throwing in scenes of a punjabi ramlila gone wrong . the tone is loud , the character and performance of both puri and talpade are deliberately over - the - top , jokes are bawdy and the humour scatological .\n\u201c\u2018teen thay bhai\u2019 is \u2018desi\u2019 not just for the sake of it . it was the requirement of the subject that we bring in \u2018desi\u2019 elements in the film\u2019s screenplay . if there was an urban set of brothers then the story wouldn\u2019t have worked and the film would have fallen apart , \u201d says mehra , who handed over the reins of direction to first timer mrigdeep singh lamba .\nchaar din ki chandni . fatoor singh . 20 . chakravyuh . govind suryavanshi . omg : oh my god ! hanif bhai .\nthe story of teen thay bhai is not set in gulmarg , but rakesyh omprakash mehra chose the hill station nestled between the snow - clad himalayas because he had never seen a more beautiful location .\njust before the crew left for the location , a lot of people scared me , saying kahaan jaa rahe ho . but i had gone there for an earlier recce and i found the place stunningly beautiful and there was no way i was going to change my mind ,\nsaid the director , who shot 85 percent of the film over 45 days there .\nit ' s an immensely standard setup , but there is so much that can be done with it . the filmmakers , perplexingly and exasperatingly , however , seem to believe that merely getting three fine actors is enough . had they locked these three men away in a house with just this setup as an acting exercise brief , i can wager they would have improvised something significantly stronger than this . chameleonic artists all , they ' d have dug their teeth into the challenge and provided definite fireworks . teen thay bhai cruelly handcuffs them with a peculiar script and never really gives them any elbow room .\nom puri , who occasionally gets the chance to be shockingly cruel in this film , revels in his ruthlessness . each , as said earlier , shines every now and then , but on the whole , they seem as bored with the film as the people watching it . there is some fun texture , it must be said . the actor playing the young om has quite a resemblance with the puri of benegal / nihalani vintage ; the use of those mosquito - killer tennis rackets as instruments of torture ; and , okay , well , that ' s pretty much it , really . and producer rakeysh omprakash mehra ' s obsession with the ramayana - - the ram / ravan dichotomy prominent in both aks and delhi 6 before this - - continues here , to unnecessary effect . loud and inert at the same time , teen thay bhai is a film to be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure . rediff rating :\nars\u00e8ne lupin iii , the grandson of the fictional gentleman thief , ars\u00e8ne lupin , is considered the world ' s greatest thief , known for announcing his intentions to . welcome to imdb ' s most powerful title search . using the options below you can combine a variety of the types of information we catalog to create extremely specific . it was later serialized into an anime television series . list of pg -

. ltd . all rights reserved .\nbrothers battling over ancestral property \u2013 has been a familiar fodder for masala movies since ages . but when rakeysh mehra produces a comedy on the same formula , you expect it to be a smart satire . sadly what you get is a slapstick !\nso you have three brothers who can\u2019t stand the sight of each other but still have to coexist for a couple of days , every year to subsequently acquire their ancestral assets , as per their grandpa\u2019s will . the eldest brother is the choleric chiksi gill ( om puri ) who frequently fumes and farts . the second brother happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist whose ultimate fantasy is ironing clothes because his long - lost girlfriend ( ragini khanna ) was a pro at it . third is a wannabe actor fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) who\u2019s so obsessed with his pup that you feel the film is going to the dogs .\nthey slap , bite , kick , tie and roast each other in their himalayan heritage house to the extent that you wish they were better - off \u2018home alone\u2019 . outside its snowing and inside the house , the chemistry between the characters seems cold and the flow of the story seems frozen . the proceedings get monotonous within the confines of the single - setting plot , until when the narrative cuts into a random and redundant flashback to explain how each brother broke ties with dadaji dear ( yograj singh ) and abandoned house .\nall of sudden the stagnant story goes into a trance with the trio dancing alongside doped girls amidst snowy landscapes . further they are imprisoned where they bicker so badly about each other that it feels you are watching a daily soap where the brothers have replaced the\n. if that is not enough , a cop tortures them using vacuum cleaners , electric flyswatters and waxing strips . but as they are physically tormented , you go through a mental trauma .\nis one of the most incoherent screenplays to have come out in a long long time . the storytelling lacks direction and there is hardly any density to the vague plot . also director mrigdeep singh lamba seems terribly confused about the tone he wants to impart to certain scenes . for instance , at first glimpse you never realize whether the confrontation between dadaji and the eldest brother was supposed to be serious or spoofy . at times , jokes are stretched beyond their expiry date . and after the horrible horseplay , it\u2019s silly of the director to end the film with a moral message on brotherhood . the sundry sensibilities just don\u2019t gel .\nwith almost the entire narrative opening in and around the house , the snowcapped setting of himachal pradesh makes no sense since cinematographer ashok mehta doesn\u2019t get to explore much of the exquisite exteriors . daler mehendi keeps crooning\n\u2019 . the broken english that shreyas speaks through the film appears forced after a point of time . and the romance track between deepak dobriyal and ragini khanna is too half - baked to register .\neven the immensely talented cast cannot make the film bearable . om puri\u2019s character seems so frustrated that it gets on your nerves subsequently . deepak dobriyal underplays his character but fails to impress this time . shreyas talpade seems to be in\nmode . it\u2019s shocking to see ragini khanna not being explored beyond her electrifying smile . yograj singh is more melodramatic than prithviraj kapoor was in\nthey say \u2018where there is a will , there is a way\u2019 . . . there is a will here but the way here is certainly out .\nget latest news & live

couple of genuinely strong laughs apiece , the director doesn ' t really know the art of telling a joke .\ndebutant mrigdeep singh lamba sets up several gags but never quite sees them through , leaving us bored and waiting for the pay - off . in a rather reckless attempt at reaching all audiences , he tries hard to pack his film with something for everybody : scatological humour ; overdone bursts of melodrama ; marijuana - laced parathas ; threestooges - giri . as a result , nobody quite goes back happy . three brothers who loathe each other have to , in accordance with their late grandfather ' s will , spend a couple of nights together each year in a snowed out ramshackle old cottage . if they manage to spend six days there , spread over three years , then they get the cottage

brothers who hate each other and are bound by their grandfather ' s will to guard his ashes till three years after his death , the three actors are a riot . there are fart jokes , lots of humour involving ladies ' underwear , and canine torture . the film was to have been called mad , madder , maddest and as the adventure shot for 44 days in snow bound kashmir valley unfolds , it seems quite justified .\nfor those who love marijuana paranthas , a police officer who inflicts torture with household objects and slapstick action soaked in desi whisky , this is pungent , often puerile fun . the one - eyed grandfather is played by yograj singh , father of yuvraj , with great gusto . ragini khanna who plays dobriyal ' s love interest is fresh , with a smile that stretches from jalandhar to

well . but they lose their way in their noble intentions .\nseems like a terrific idea for a comedy . three brothers separated more at mirth than by birth , trying hard to keep the spirit alive . they fail miserably , not for the want of trying .\nthe script here depends too much on extraneous trappings , too little on integral assets . there ' s no scarcity of acting talent here . shreyas talpade , deepak dobriyal and om puri shine in that order . . . alas , they have no meat to sink their sharp teeth in . often we see the actor groping and grappling with material that doesn ' t give them a chance to move beyond the immediate laughter of a situational comedy . beyond the sound of current laughter there ' s no hereafter in the humour .\nthe static snowcapped location doesn ' t help either . the three principal actors seem as frozen in their efforts to rise above the stagnant humour as the snowy landscape in jammu where veteran cinematographer ashok mehta tries desperately to find a centre in the meandering mirth .\nthe script has the seeds of an engaging satire . but the story never takes off . minimalist props and background music don ' t help drive away the feeling of growing boredom that clutches at the throat of this vapid tale of three brothers who could kill each other with sibling friction and kill us with sheer boredom .\ntowards the end , the plot shifts out a snow - strapped cottage into the outdoors where the brothers are assailed by hippy women who feed them with parathas filled with marijuana . by this time the script has completely run out of tricks to hold our attention . a climax with a giant steamroller as the villain is just about all that we are left looking at .\nis like one of those books whose backflap synopsis offers us tempting insights into human nature . but by the time we settle down to the experience the plot has betrayed its own interests .\nin the league of the recent gross out hollywood comedies . the tone is loud , jokes are bawdy and scatological humour is in full flow\nt he jokey title track of the film , written by gulzar , pretty much sums up its spirit . it\u2019s about three brothers who can\u2019t see eye to eye but are forced to spend two days a year together , for three years in a row , to honour a clause in their grandfather\u2019s will . how does that bring about a change in their relationship ? that\u2019s for us to discover .\nwe meet them in the third year , in a snowed out , isolated cottage in manali . chixy gill ( om puri ) is a petty businessman trying to get his daughters married , happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist who dreams of becoming a dry - cleaner and fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) is a struggling actor of punjabi movies with dreams of making it big in hollywood . chixy , happy and fancy might sound like chico , harpo , groucho , gummo , zeppo , ie , the marx brothers , but are no match for classic marx bros zaniness .\nthe film , an adaptation of a play , has long scenes played out inside the cottage , which give a proscenium feel . it depends on the characters and their chemistry with each other . sometimes that works , like the sequences where happy tries to take a swig from chixy\u2019s bottle . but the script doesn\u2019t offer interesting situations , nor sparkling dialogue to add zing to the characters and their stupidities . it feels laboured , like fancy\u2019s bad english ( infection for affection ) and the film gets gradually unsustainable as the plot meanders to include stoned german tourists and a buffoon of a cop .\nthe film is watchable for dobriyal , who manages a nuanced performance even in a broad slapstick . the other star is the awesome landscape and those beautiful snowflakes in gulmarg . besides , you can also discover here

ray , will it find a more receptive audience ?\nit ' s actually a rather busy week for dvd / blu - ray releases , at least for the summertime , with four first run releases coming out . granted , those four films averaged just 21 % positive reviews , so it is certainly a matter of quantity over quality . unfortunately , the quantity of first run releases appears to have scared away quality alternatives and there are not a lot of top notch releases . there are a few that are with picking up , some of which are for limited audiences , but as far as pick of the week contenders go , there are none . however ,\n, which makes it the obviously choice for the target film in this week ' s box office prediction contest . in order to win , one must simply predict the opening weekend box office number for\n. entries must be received by 10 a . m . , pacific time on friday to be eligible , so don ' t delay !\nagain , there was only one film that reached the $ 10 , 000 mark on the per theater chart .\nopened with an average of $ 10 , 318 in two theaters . however ,\n, topped the per theater chart over the weekend with an impressive average of $ 36 , 720 in six theaters . it expands wide on friday , so this fast start was important . the overall box office leader ,\n, was well back in second place with an average of $ 16 , 343 , but that ' s amazing for this type of movie and this time of year .\nopened with an average of $ 10 , 003 in two theaters , which is literally one ticket away from missing the $ 10 , 000 mark .\nis set to record the biggest october weekend ever , according to paramount ' s sunday estimate . with $ 50 million over the weekend , the movie will also set a new mark for a factually - based movie , beating the record held by its predecessor in the series ,\n. although the debate on 3d ' s long - term future continues , this is a movie that seems to be perfectly suited to the medium . expect to see talk of jackass 4d very soon . we don ' t even dare to speculate what the 4th d will entail .\nit looks like we are getting closer and closer to awards season with two oscar potential films coming out this week . at least there are two films that look like they were made to win oscars . i ' m not sure either has what it takes . other limited releases include two films opening in several hundred theaters , both of which could struggle . there should be at least a couple to find some measure of mainstream success , but i ' m unwilling to bet which films those will be . more . . .\nfull financial estimates for this film , including domestic and international box office , video sales , video rentals , tv and ancillary revenue are available through our research services . for more information , please contact us at research @ urltoken .\n\u00a9 1997 -

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

[ full review in spanish ]\nmichel gondry merges the worlds of art and science by cleverly animating the innerworkings of noam chomsky\u2019s world - renowned mind . pushing beyond chomsky\u2019s acclaimed theories and opinions , he gives insight into the man behind the legacy . done in hand - drawn animation .\nmost of the film is framed in 4 : 3 . however , some sequences extend beyond this .\ncharlie hebdo is a satirical news magazine published weekly in france ; the magazine has a . . .\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant - man and the wasp ' | showtimes\nwe are watching two very fascinating , very different minds interact , and the result is a bit inspiring .\non some topics , the pairing works beautifully . unsurprisingly , this is especially true when chomsky makes points by talking of fairy tales and magic transformations . when a child is told a story about a donkey that is turned into a stone by a spell , how does the child instinctively know that the stone is still in essence the donkey , not some unrelated object ? that ' s a question made for gondry ' s surrealism - friendly brain .\nwalk this way is taking you for a ride around europe . jump in !\ngondry chalks it up in other ways as well . discourse may be driving the narrative , but what we see on screen is a kaleidoscope of images . gondry uses a colorful neon - bright , hand - drawn , pulsating animation style to show us how he is processing the countless words he is hearing . it ' s as if the ideas , rather than gondry , are holding the chalk .\nwhat emerges from the chats and the drawings and the animation is an often - fascinating glimpse at both genius and the creative process ( itself a kind of genius , after all ) . if it sounds boring , it isn ' t . if it sounds weird , it is - but weird in a good way .\nnear the end , chomsky and gondry get into the specific way in which the structure of language impacts thought \u2014 it is what the mit professor has spent a lifetime exploring . it is mesmerizing to see those seven words structured , then restructured , chomsky explaining why we choose to place words where , how meaning shifts accordingly .\nfilmmakers discuss the tremendous impact of fran\u00e7ois truffaut ' s 1966 book hitchcock / truffaut , in which alfred hitchcock painstakingly detailed his directorial process . wes anderson , david fincher , richard linklater , and martin scorsese are among the a - list directors who pay homage to the legendary . . .\none of the pleasures of the movie , though , is that mr . gondry remains acutely tuned into these passages , which he addresses with a startling openness and a lack of directorial ego . this is a movie that celebrates the life of a great mind and makes a case for the mind that knows less but keeps on asking .\nthe caveat is both unconvincing and unnecessary . if anything , flooding the viewer ' s senses with so much stimulation - - drawings that not only illustrate the topic being discussed , but flash and spiral and decorate this imagery without pause - - presents challenges to digesting dense ideas that aren ' t present in the standard talking - head nonfiction film . ( one wonders what chomsky , who has studied the way brains make sense of the world for so long , would say about this pedagogic strategy . )\nimagine that you\u2019re at a dinner party . imagine you start conversing with the man sitting next to you and within minutes realize that he\u2019s far smarter than you\u2019ll ever be \u2014 pleasant enough , but talking with him is like falling off the back of a truck and watching it speed into the distance . what do you do ? if you\u2019re michel gondry , you sprint like crazy to keep up while doodling on the tablecloth .\namong their topics is the sentence that gives the movie its title and that mr . chomsky has used , by moving one word , to argue that the linguistic information children receive is insufficient to explain how they acquire the grammar of language . \u201cit seems plain , \u201d mr . chomsky has written , \u201cthat language acquisition is based on the child\u2019s discovery of what , from a formal point of view , is a deep and abstract theory \u2014 a generative grammar of his language \u2014 many of the concepts and principles of which are only remotely related to experience by long and intricate chains of unconscious quasi - inferential steps . \u201d\na . the director ' s accent is very heavy , while noam mutters more unintelligibly that usual , making it rather hard to understand them .\nit is fitting that tension in the film comes from an issue of\nunderstanding ,\ngondry sometimes chalking it up to his thick french accent .\nthroughout , gondry fancifully embroiders on chomsky\u2019s running commentary . intellectual curiosity is personified as a homunculus toting a potted plant with question marks on its leaves , and galileo\u2019s questioning of accepted truths is represented as a stairway of \u201cwhy\u2019s . \u201d gondry might present ideas as rebuses , as descartes\u2019 philosophical \u201ctools\u201d are lifted from his treatise , or else embark on his own sentimental flights ;

aug 8th 1873\n- ribbon weaving . - with the decline of the woollen - cloth trade coventry textile workers naturally turned to the nascent silk - ribbon industry . the city silkweavers of the 18th century were ready to receive new ideas from france and to provide the ribbons which fashion dictated , and for a century , between about 1765 and 1857 , silk was the dominant industry in the city .\ntheir complacent belief in the rightness of their methods had , moreover , been fostered for some 60 years by the protection of their main industry against the import of french ribbons . whenever there was a possibility that the prohibition might be lifted or the tariff on imported ribbons reduced there was a protest from coventry , but as long as the prohibition remained there was no incentive to developments in design or the improvement of machinery . by this time coventry was the centre of a weaving area of 13 , 000 looms supporting 30 , 000 people . in 1826 the import prohibition had been lifted and a tariff substituted , and in 1830 the latter stood at 25 per cent .\nthe introduction of the dutch engine loom , which was not power - driven but on which several plain ribbons could be woven at one time , and its supercession by the jacquard loom , on which several fancy ribbons could be woven , had opened the way for the factory system in coventry . such a change would have increased efficiency and reduced costs , for supervision would have done much to prevent the embezzlement of silk and the leisurely attitude to work which was inherent in the cottage system . but the unwavering opposition of the weavers protracted the struggle between factory and home industry for 30 years and culminated in the near extinction of ribbon weaving in the city .\nthe crux of the matter was the determination of the small master or the journeyman weaver to work his own loom in his own top - shop , with the help of his family , receiving payment according to an agreed list of prices . it was unpractical for him to buy or lease an engine loom or a jacquard loom , for by a weavers ' agreement neither his wife nor his daughters could work anything but a single - hand loom , and in any case only single - hand looms could be used for certain types of work . the factory , on the other hand , could speed up production by using engine looms or jacquard looms as required , by the division of labour , by the introduction of definite hours of work , and by the supervision of employees . under such conditions a weekly wage could be paid to all weavers .\na vital development was that of the power - run loom , which was to add greater strength to the factory and was to turn the cottage industry in a new direction . by 1836 there were 53 power looms at work in the city , all run by two of the largest manufacturers . it was only in the city that such innovations could be made , and country weavers , like the city top - shop weavers , stuck to the single - hand loom . smaller manufacturers had , however , been increasing in number for the previous 20 years . in 1838 , although there were still twelve manufacturers running over 100 looms each , one with as many as 400 , there were 70 manufacturers running fewer than 10 looms each and 35 with between 10 and 100 each .\nif there had been a steady development of factories there is every reason to suppose that the ribbon trade in coventry would have progressed in spite of , or perhaps because of , foreign competition , but the tradition of home working died hard and new enterprises were begun to support the cottage industry . in the new weaving area of hillfields , built up from 1828 onwards , most of the houses had top - shops or workrooms on their upper floors , some with space enough for three looms .\nthe new suburbs were thus calculated to uphold opposition to the factory system , whose workers were the slum dwellers of the courts recently abandoned by families moving out to the new estates . this attitude was further encouraged by the individuality of the watchmakers , who of necessity had their own workshops , were more highly skilled , and commanded larger incomes . indeed , there is evidence of migration by young weavers and by weavers ' sons to the trade with the better prospects .\nwhile the growth of steam power was speeding up the development of factories , a way was being found to perpetuate the small workshop by means of power - run looms . at first it was a make - do arrangement by which a shafting system was run through a row of existing top - shops , with one engine supplying power to them all . after 1847 this system was extensively used , and by 1859 there were 300 cottage factories running from two to six power looms each , compared with fifteen large factories with 1 , 250 power looms .\nworkers in cottage factories , however , even with power laid on , could not compete with the larger factories , and they consequently resorted to demands for the reimposition of the list of prices instead of the payment of weekly wages ; so heavy was the pressure brought to bear that five of the six outstanding factory owners gave in after extensive strikes had nearly crippled them , and the building of large factories ceased . instead an attempt was made to give the coventry weaver what he wanted - a properly - developed cottage factory system . two schemes were initiated : cash ' s model cottage factory , built at kingfield in 1857 ; and eli green ' s 67 houses with top - shops , served by power shafting , built to form a triangle in brook street , vernon street , and berry street in 1858 - 9 .\nthe out - door worker had some justification for supporting the list , but the factory employee , by joining in the strike , was sacrificing his own wage - earning organization for an out - moded system which was impeding efficient development . it was of course the home workers who were worst hit when work was short , because the large manufacturers handed out work to them only when their own employees could not handle it ; moreover , the shafting system for topshops had proved uneconomic when only some of the looms were working . but it was a case of the weavers standing together , however unjustified their cause , against the employers . and because their cause was wrong - headed , because they were striking for the list of prices which some of them had previously struck to destroy , they forfeited local sympathy and little help was forthcoming even from outside the city ; the position became desperate and early in 1861 the strikers had to give in . the list of prices was abandoned , but the damage was done and there was no work to return to .\nduring the franco - prussian war there was some revival , and it was later alleged that ' every loom in coventry and district was well employed . more business was done then than at any time before or since ' . nevertheless ribbon weaving in coventry had suffered a heavy blow from the attempts of its workers to maintain an outdated system , and the revival did not last .\nthe industry did not , however , die out . cash ' s survived at the price of converting the model cottage factory into a conventional factory . moreover a bid to bring about a revival in the industry was made by\n, the pictorial bookmark , and the illuminated ribbon . he worked quickly , for in january 1862 he patented his invention for ' manufacturing book markers by machinery for weaving ribbons , and . . . producing figures , designs , and mottoes thereon of various descriptions and colours , according to the nature of books for which the markers are intended ' .\nthe pictures became very popular and they , as well as the looms on which they were made , were exhibited at the crystal palace in 1868 , at the london international exhibition in 1870 , at york in 1879 , and on the continent and in the united states . from 1862 to 1867 stevens ' s catalogues contained from 500 to 900 varieties of bookmarks , pictures , fans , badges , embroidered neckties , and sashes .\npartly as a result of the general development in the city of high - class fancy and figured ribbons and scarves , and partly following the introduction of new methods of manufacturing chenille the trade survived . indeed in 1884 london was said to be largely supplied with chenille and other trimmings by coventry which was successfully rivalling continental producers . the number of power looms in 1884 was , however , only about a third of that in 1860 , while the number of operatives employed was even smaller in proportion , though somewhat larger than in 1883 .\nin 1890 it was reported that the silk ribbon trade in the town ' fluctuates as fashion dictates , and has been in a depressed condition all the year ' . in the mid 20th century , however , there still existed in the city a flourishing trade in the more specialized aspects of ribbon production . in 1927 there were still some 30 manufacturers with about 7 , 000 employees engaged in the textile industry in coventry , not including the production of artificial fabrics . by 1935 the number of firms had fallen to thirteen and of employees to 5 , 000 .\nin 1950 the number of firms had risen slightly . five firms were making woven labels , the best known of these being j . and j . cash , and seven were making regalia and medal ribbons , hat bands , embroidered badges , trimmings , braids and elastic braids , pompoms , tassels , and fringes . they were without exception long - established firms , dating from as far back as 1835 , when william franklin started business in the ribbon trade , or as late as 1919 when oakey and cox began weaving ribbons and hatbands of a specialized kind . in 1964 cash ' s was employing 900 people .\nfrom : ' the city of coventry : crafts and industries : modern industry and trade ' , a history of the county of warwick : volume 8 : the city of coventry and borough of warwick ( 1969 ) , pp . 162 -

19 , 1775 . revere\u2019s life , however , was a long and productive one , involving industry , politics , and community service .\nat 10 pm on the night of april 18 , 1775 , paul revere received instructions from dr . joseph warren to ride to lexington to warn hancock and adams that british troops were marching to arrest them . after being rowed across the charles river to charlestown by two associates , paul revere borrowed a horse from his friend deacon john larkin .\nthis is the story gilbert reads in her diary , and unsurprisingly , it transforms his view of helen and also , more importantly , his view of himself . he has seen , as we have , the many points at which his own impetuous actions approximate huntingdon\u2019s\u2014rifling through helen\u2019s paintings , for instance , forcing his attentions on her , claiming kisses against her express desires . now he can understand and respect her determination to stand by her own principles , and to keep him at bay\u2014not only because , as a married woman , she cannot become romantically involved with him , but because all her experience to this point has taught her to suspect him as a threat to her autonomy and happiness . that she has risked so much only to find herself once more besieged by an importunate man helps us to see that the problem is not one bad man or one bad marriage , but the entire balance of power between men and women . whatever her feelings for gilbert ( and all the evidence is that she loves him passionately ) , only a significant restructuring could clear the way for them to live happily ever after . that\u2014and the convenient removal , somehow\u2014anyhow\u2014of her existing husband .\nthere was a particular reason why this interruption of the feast took place on the sabbath . vashti was in the habit of forcing jewish maidens to spin and weave on the sabbath day , and to add to her cruelty , she would deprive them of all their clothes . it was on the sabbath , therefore , that her punishment overtook her , and for the same reason it was put into the king ' s heart to have her appear in public stripped of all clothing .\nanother historical event pointed forward to esther ' s achievement . when the jews , after the destruction of jerusalem , broke out into the wail ,\nwe are orphans and fatherless ,\ngod said :\nin very sooth , the redeemer whom i shall send unto you in media shall also be an orphan fatherless and motherless .\nwhen a man decides to marry the woman he ' s been living with , she stops being the silent patient person she was and claims to be the boss in the house . her behaviour changes so much after the marriage that the husband gets so irritated as to ask for a divorce even a few hours later . .\nwhen a man decides to marry the woman he ' s been living with , she stops being the silent patient person she was and claims to be the boss in the house . her behaviour changes so much after the marriage that the husband gets so irritated as to ask for a divorce even a few hours later . . .\na few letters that have been preserved show the deep affection that the couple had for each other , samuel always addressing his wife lovingly as \u201cbetsy . \u201d\nwhen this procession passed the house of haman , his daughter was looking out of the window . she took the man on the horse to be her father , and the leader of it , mordecai . raising a vessel filled with offal , she emptied it out over the leader her own father . scarce had the vessel left her hand , when she realized the truth , and she threw herself from the window , and lay crushed to death on the street below .\n\u201cif you meet your enemy ' s ox or his donkey going astray , you shall bring it back to him .\nwith the man who now holds her in dishonour . she , poor lady , hath by sad\nshe turned away her glistening eye and crimson cheek , and threw up the window and looked out , whether to calm her own excited feelings or to relieve her embarrassment , \u2014or only to pluck that beautiful half -

( imdb )\nmeanwhile , far from the prairies of north dakota , ryan lenz , an investigator from montgomery , alabama\u2019s southern poverty law center , discovers cobb\u2019s posts and informs leith\u2019s mayor , ryan schock . schock , a young rancher and family man who has lived in leith all his life , is stunned by the news \u2014 and the ensuing media firestorm as tensions in leith threaten to boil over into violence .\nthe two film - makers responsible for the remarkable documentary , welcome to leith , explain that they made an important breakthrough when they recognized the type of story they were dealing with : it was a western . michael beach nichols and christopher k . walker made this observation following a screening of the film at the fargo film festival , where [ \u2026 ]\nthursday , december 18 \u2013 last june , we heard about \u201cwelcome to leith\u201d a feature film about the north dakota town\u2019s experience with white supremacist craig cobb . at the time , the film was being funded in part by crowd - sourcing . now we learn it\u2019s been accepted by the sundance film festival . joining us with an update are [ \u2026 ]\nwhile there\u2019s a certain morally transgressive element in the movie\u2019s use of traditional documentary technique to allow dutton and cobb to discuss their motives , it also deepens the movie\u2019s illustrative power . as the men continue to threaten locals , who respond by constantly monitoring their assailants behavior , \u201cwelcome to leith\u201d develops into a stunning portrait of first amendment rights pushed to their extremes . ultimately , both dutton and cobb were arrested for patrolling their neighborhood with guns , but that\u2019s only the beginning of a story in which seemingly every response to their provocations feed into their horrifying intentions .\nit was soon discovered that the purchaser , craig cobb , was not , as most assumed , an outsider seeking to profit from the state\u2019s oil boom . his real estate speculation was a stealth operation to take over the village and make leith a haven for white supremacists . shortly after his plans were revealed by the southern poverty law center , a white supremacist family moved to leith to fix up the properties .\nthe filmmakers deliver an up - close look at recurring showdowns between infuriated locals and the disturbing figure of cobb , along with the various likeminded forces who sprang up to support him . filled with gripping showdowns and sinister agendas , the movie builds its unsettling power by depicting the struggle from both perspectives . while the delineation between good and evil holds strong , \u201cwelcome to leith\u201d is also creepily even - handed .\nthis chronicle of a rural community\u2019s struggle for sovereignty amidst extremism quite cleverly maneuvers us into an uncomfortable confrontation with our own values . like the residents , we feel our anger escalate , but as disturbing and hateful as his racist attitudes are , cobb is afforded certain protections under the law . the unsettling underpinning of welcome to leith is how we wrestle with our democratic principles when they\u2019re pushed to the limit .\nleith mount surgery is a modern , gp medical practice in north east edinburgh , with full disabled access and double buggy access .\n\u201cwelcome to leith\u201d wisely resists the kind of gimmickry that might have resulted in a stylistic hybrid of \u201cthe blair witch project\u201d or \u201cinvasion of the body snatchers . \u201d this film gives mr . cobb ample time to explain himself in language casually peppered with racist epithets that are all the more offensive for being delivered matter -

white enclave , cobb implored other white supremacists to move to leith and help take over the town\u2019s government .\nthis documentary movie poster promotes the story of leith and white supremacist craig cobb , who is depicted under the town sign with his walking stick .\nin the general election of november of 1916 , morton county was divided , and two new counties were created \u2013 sioux and grant . on this date of that year , a group of civic leaders from the village of leith were in bismarck , attempting to gain support for leith as the new county seat . boosters for [ \u2026 ]\nsince leith is so small , cobb\u2019s plan was to buy up a few of the houses in town and then take over the local government with a bunch of fellow racist separatists so that they\u2019d have the whole town to themselves . to accomplish this goal , he even sold one of his houses for $ 1 to the national socialist movement , a neo - nazi group . plenty of people flocked to leith\u2019s defence when cobb and the cronies who moved on to his property made town meetings and daily life hell for the townsfolk by harassing them , parading around with guns , and publishing their personal information on websites to provoke retribution .\nif you ' d like to join our volunteer team please contact us to find out more .\nthe leith city council in north dakota approved a moratorium on any new construction in their town in order to prevent a group of white supremacists from creating an aryan community , the houston chronicle reported .\nthe filmmakers drive that point home in a haunting finale as they sit with cobb in a hotel room away from the public eye . it\u2019s here that he strikes a noticeable contrast with the rambling lunatic seen before . was it all an act ? examining his angry protocol with a measured gaze , \u201cwelcome to leith\u201d questions the notion of progress in a country where hatred has the power to percolate on its own terms . as menacing as cobb sounds during his outbursts , he\u2019s far more intimidating when he comes down to earth .\nthe city of leith , north dakota , breathed a small sigh of relief on this date in 2013 when two white supremacists with designs on the town were taken into custody . craig cobb and kynan dutton , two neo -

- referring to bateman as\nmr . smith .\npresumably not to leave witnesses , the protagonist shoots and kills the guard , and does the same to a janitor on his way out through a revolving door . he then finds his way to pierce & pierce -

jewish friendship . but even so , real friendships are also possible , and alliances to protect religious freedom can cross unexpected lines .\nour interpretation of american psycho ' s finale is far from the only opinion floating around out there , and from our stance you can probably piece together what the principal alternate theory is : patrick bateman actually killed everybody , including paul allen . in order to believe this , you kind of just have to go with the flow when it comes to the aforementioned fantasy and delusion featured in the movie ' s third act - but there is an argument to be made . how ? the key is in the film ' s deep , deep satire .\none thing i think is a failure on my part is people keep coming out of the film thinking that it ' s all a dream , and i never intended that . all i wanted was to be ambiguous in the way that the book was . i think it ' s a failure of mine in the final scene because i just got the emphasis wrong . i should have left it more open ended . it makes it look like it was all in his head , and as far as i ' m concerned , it ' s not .\npaul schoenberger is a long - time collaborator of director kevin mclaughlin , with a lengthy history of successes in producing , directing , and shooting film and tv projects . he ' s created branding campaigns and corporate profiles for numerous fortune 500 companies , and recently served as producer and director of photography on the weather channel ' s hit series coast guard alaska . he is a graduate of montana state university and winner of the gold award at the international film & tv awards , and the greshier award for best documentary in the northwest .\nhowever , at the point at which any of us seek consolation as banal as nicholls\u2019s then , frankly , we deserve to be put out of our misery . the 7 . 39 is the most unerotic train in history . even london looks rubbish . also , i want olivia colman as a wife .\nfantasia is also immensely proud to have hosted\nclaymation horror\n, a special live presentation from celebrated british stop -

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

( not that exact scene , because the timing doesn\u2019t work out , but lukas totally drowned in that lake . )\nfeatures numerous witnesses with 50 - year - old memories never before recorded , there were many gaps in the visuals needed to tell this story . to the rescue : gary giacomarra , the illustrator who created the re - enactment drawings featured throughout the film . gary attended rutgers university and queens college , majoring in criminal justice and art . his plans to become an artist were sidetracked by a 20 - year stint in the new york police department . upon retirement , he returned to his love of art , and resumed his studies at the art students league of new york . the week that changed the world is his first major art assignment .\nreally , this conclusion can be drawn just by taking all of the evidence the film presents at face value . there ' s not only harold ' s claim about having just seen paul allen in london , and the murder - free apartment , but there is also the investigation headed up by detective donald kimball ( willem dafoe ) . for a good portion of the movie it looks like bateman is just on the verge of getting caught for allen ' s murder , but then kimball drops the case after finding that the protagonist has an alibi . how did this happen ? because bateman never killed allen , and instead just imagined the whole thing .\nthe movie acknowledges the uphill battle women face in male - dominated workplaces\u2014in this case , law enforcement\u2014but it handles the matter in throwaway lines , an admirable choice . neither mullins nor ashburn are complainers , and they know by heart the compromises they face , and they know that it will be doubly hard for them to move ahead because of their sex . but they don ' t dwell on it . they ' re too busy . when they do finally bond , it doesn ' t come in the usual package of relationship advice , personal revelations , or a makeover scene , although all of these tropes are acknowledged and then tweaked , turned inside out .\nthe heat\nturns female - buddy picture conventions on their ear . good .\nwhat starts to happen as the movie progresses is that what you ' re seeing is what ' s going on in his head . so when he shoots a car and it explodes , even he for a second is like\nhuh ?\nbecause even he is starting to believe that his perception of reality cannot be right . as he goes more crazy , what you actually see becomes more distorted and harder to figure out , but it ' s meant to be that he is really killing all these people , it ' s just that he ' s probably not as nicely dressed , it probably didn ' t go as smoothly as he is perceiving it to go , the hookers probably weren ' t as hot etc etc etc it ' s just bateman ' s fantasy world .\nonly altman\u2019s eclectic catalog of films traces the changing contours of the industry itself . after a long stint directing television , industrial films , and a low - budget juvenile delinquency picture in the \u201850s and \u201860s , altman finished the surreal psychodrama that cold day in the park , the same year easy rider came out . cold day concerns frances ( sandy dennis ) , an isolated single woman living in vancouver who takes a mute young boy ( michael burns ) in off the streets and over time becomes sexually obsessed with him . trapped in a social circle of doters and dowagers , frances is shaped by their stodgy customs ; she can hardly connect with the boy other than to pepper him with questions he can\u2019t or won\u2019t answer , and engage in lengthy , despairing monologues about the dead end her life has become .\nthere ' s a scene in\nthe heat\nin which two people , fbi agent sarah ashburn ( sandra bullock ) and boston police detective shannon mullins ( melissa mccarthy ) , struggle with one another to be the first to open a door . it has already been established that mullins resents the snooty interference of an fbi outsider into her case . we also know that ashburn has problems getting along with , well , anyone . ashburn and mullins are forced to work together to bring down a boston drug kingpin , or something like that \u2014 it doesn ' t matter \u2014 and for the majority of the film they bicker over whose case it is , whose interrogation style to follow , who knows more about the background intel .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ?

\u2019\u201d she does this by first mimicking millie , then actively stealing her identity , but in the process , she loses sight of herself , which altman indicates variously . at one point , pinky gazes longingly at millie through a pane of glass and millie\u2019s reflection eclipses her face . millie is also eclipsed by images ; altman describes her as \u201ca victim of magazines and movies\u201d as she rummages through her mailbox , defining herself based on fashion photos , poo - pooing an underwear ad and gleefully receiving a new catalog from neiman marcus .\nit ' s probably no coincidence that the cornerstones of the american fantasy industry - - roswell , new mexico as much as hollywood and las vegas - - tend to appear in the desert . such is the nature of the landscape , flat , featureless , and hot , that it lends itself to abstraction , if not feverish imaginings . at the same time , it can be a strange , lonely place . \u201cthe people who live in the desert live further apart , \u201d altman ruminates while discussing his decision to set 3 women in the california mojave . \u201cthe desert is like an elephant\u2019s burial ground . people go there to die . \u201d\nblack salvation is a band that works the psychedelia into the hard rock with skill , and it makes for a very listenable album in uncertainty is bliss .\nin a new interview , liz phair looks back on her first four albums , the legacy of exile in guyville , and being an inspiration to today ' s female songwriters .\nback on the road and determined to take the country by ' storm ' , zz ward belts the blues and prepares to hit the high notes at her top tour stop .

putting to many , but the film effectively puts across the themes of the play and is often very funny in a way that is rarely seen in cinema . the film is well presented on dvd , with good picture and sound quality and the usual fine selection of supporting extra features .\nproduced by the american film theater and based upon an absurdist play by eugene ionesco , this film tells the farcical tale of a group of people who must reassess their pasts and futures after they begin turning into rhinoceroses . only one of their peers , a mild -

named as stanley for the aft film . he is however upstaged by zero mostel as his neighbour john . mostel , reprising his broadway stage role is simply magnificent , relishing every little gesture and intonation . his transformation into a rhinoceros , done without the aid of make - up or special effects , is one of the great moments of the aft programme of films .\n( you will notice in the last part of the 14 minute clip above , it shows how the movie \u201cbelle de jour\u201d ends . even though her husband has been shot three times which was the result of the horrible friends she had associated with , he is pictured in her dreams as recovering from his wheel chair and blindness and he gladly kisses her . francis schaeffer in his film series shows how this film was appealing to \u201cnonreason\u201d to answer our problems . )\na type of film that rejects traditional narrative in favor of using poetic form ( color , motion , sound , irrational images , etc . ) to convey its meaning or feeling ; aka non -

a cartoon rhino , that is . but no , we don\u2019t have a real rhino on the team . they prefer to run wild and free , and we do too .\nthere were some parts of this that i loved , others that i just kinda enjoyed . the film is definitely based on a play , and most of the scenes are long drawn out conversations . it uses the film medium at most wisely in the beginning 20 or so minutes , as it adds odd musical queues and does interesting things with parallel action , while still keeping an absurdist bend . some of the scenes , especially later on , just feel like fairly point - and - shoot recreations of the play , but are still very funny . the movie stays weird throughout and the performances are all great .\nseen in new york so far have been o ' neill ' s \u201cthe iceman cometh , \u201d directed by john frankenheimer , pinter ' s \u201cthe homecoming , \u201d directed by peter hall , albee ' s \u201ca delicate balance , \u201d directed by tony richardson and , most recently , \u201crhinoceros . \u201d upcoming are \u201cluther , \u201d \u201cbutley , \u201d \u201clost in the stars\u201d and \u201cthe three sisters . \u201d\nwe are always in the process of becoming . life is a process . to stop is to die . the search for self is at the core of every lenica film . his protagonists ( think jan lenica as performed by buster keaton through beckett and ionesco and gilliam ) travel through a world of violence , paranoia , anxiety , and absurdity . they do not know how to , nor sure they want to , fit into an increasingly dehumanized society . lenica\u2019s characters encounter various forms of oppression in the face of paranoia ( rhinoceros ) , language ( a ) , exile ( labyrinth ) , humans , and even themselves . each character is simply trying to define and establish a unique blip on life\u2019s map .\n\u2026 . when his first film ( un chien andalou ) was released , bu\u00f1uel became the first filmmaker to be officially welcomed into the ranks of the surrealists by the movement\u2019s leader andr\u00e9 breton , an event recalled by film historian georges sadoul : \u201cbreton had convoked the creators to our usual venue [ the caf\u00e9 radio ] \u2026 one summer\u2019s evening . dal\u00ed had the large eyes , grace , and timidity of a gazelle . to us , bu\u00f1uel , big and athletic , his black eyes protruding a little , seemed exactly like he always is in un chien andalou , meticulously honing the razor that will slice the open eye in two . \u201d\nthe shooting ( or re - shooting ) of a film ' s ending for its theatrical release , usually enforced by the studio for any number of reasons ( because of test audience preview results , controversial or unpopular subject matter , to provide a ' happy ' ending , etc . ) . see also director ' s cut\nthat isn ' t exactly the way the aft is described by henry t . weinstein , the organization ' s vice president in charge of creative affairs . he says its aim is to bring \u201cto audiences everywhere great works \u2018 of the theater , performed by consummate artists , under the guidance of major directors , on film . \u201d\nthe name given to the prestigious film awards presented each year by ampas ( the academy of motion picture arts and sciences , or simply ' the academy ' ) , a professional honorary organization within the industry , since 1927 . the annual awards show , in slang , is sometimes referred to as a kudo - cast , see also oscars\nrelated to different optical imaging effects ;

a film based upon , derived from ( or adapted from ) a stage play ( or from another medium such as a short story , book , article , history , novel , video game , comic strip / book , etc . ) which basically preserves both the setting and dialogue of the original ; can be in the form of a script ( screenplay ) or a proposal treatment\nrhinoceros this was a hard film for me to figure out . i rented this movie because gene wilder was in it and i always knew him to be funny , also i am a collector of kino international films and this is one out of there catalog . usually i have given all there films a 4 plus stars , but this not be the case for this movie . i just couldn ? t wait for it to be over , and came within seconds of shutting it off completely , but i had the day off from work , it was raining outside and i figured what the heck . in this movie people are turning into rhinoceroses , now i am not sure but many have said it represents american people turning in to cattle in real life and just flowing with the crowd rather then standing up for there rights and what is right from wrong , and i can see that , similar story line to 1984 . i just couldn ? t get into this one , maybe you can . 1 star .\ngrant has serious misgivings about bringing beatriz to the table since one of the guests is power client douglas strutt ( john lithgow ) , a famously opinionated , unabashedly capitalist hotel and golf - course magnate whose resemblance to donald trump is surely not accidental . that said , lithgow\u2019s bragging , boorish captain of industry , who asks beatriz if she entered the country legally , boasts about having shot a rhinoceros on safari in africa and couldn\u2019t give a damn if his ventures poison the environment and ruin lives , still comes across as more savvy and likable than the newly sworn - in potus .\nthe script was written in six days at dal\u00ed\u2019s home in cadaqu\u00e9s . in a letter to a friend written in february 1929 , bu\u00f1uel described the writing process : \u201cwe had to look for the plot line . dal\u00ed said to me , \u2018i dreamed last night of ants swarming around in my hands\u2019 , and i said , \u2018good lord , and i dreamed that i had sliced somebody or other\u2019s eye . there\u2019s the film , let\u2019s go and make it . ' \u201d [ 46 ]\nthe o ' horgan rhinoceros is often wondrously dark . stanley , a listless accountant with a listless accountant ' s name , swills booze to forget his dead - end life . he ' s an organization man who hates his organization , a buttondown rebel without a cause . his friend john ( mostel ) dishes up advice for john , but john continues to mope , disengaged from the thudding repetitiveness of his interchangeable days . there ' s daisy , a lovely co - worker , who he admires , but stanley is so mired in self - contempt that his love for her is lost in a forest of ledgers and memos .\nthe following film notes were prepared for the new york state writers institute by kevin jack hagopian , senior lecturer in media studies at pennsylvania state university : impresario ely landau ' s idea seemed inspired : what if a discriminating national movie audience could be persuaded to invest its ticket money upfront , in a program of superior adaptations of significant dramatic works ? the money could be used to finance production down the line , and the lucky viewers wouldn ' t pay much more than they would for ordinary films .\n\u201cthe iceman cometh\u201d is a tremendous , primal theatrical experience , but was it really necessary to film it again just so we could have the dubious pleasure of witnessing lee marvin fail in the key role as hickey ? it was nice seeing robert ryan and fredric march in this version , but nothing can convince me that it was worth doing if , in the archives somewhere , there exists a print of that extraordinary tv tape version directed by sidney lumet , produced by worthington miner and starring jason robards .\nbased on a play by eugene lonesco , this film is pretty odd if you know nothing of the material its based on . i don ' t know the play a tall so i did find the plot strange indeed and i can see why it was a failure upon release . this is a shame of course as all the sequences with wilder and mostel are pure epic comic genius ! . their facial expressions and body language is fantastic and show two men of comedy , one at his peak and one reaching his peak .\nmr . o ' horgan attempts to jazz up the film with music by galt macdermot ( \u201chair\u201d ) , which is nice but superfluous , and with low comedy routines that he photographs in ways guaranteed to make them unfunny . the grace and continuity of a series of pratfalls are broken up into a lot of different , isolated shots . his feel for slapstick is as solemn as that of an archeologist photographing the individual bones of a dinosaur . for reasons best kept to himself the director also introduces into lonesco a comparatively lyric dream sequence .\nthus , the american film theater . from 1973 to 1975 , fourteen plays were filmed . looking back , many seem far too good to be true . edward albee ' s a delicate balance , with katherine hepburn , paul scofield , and lee remick ? o ' neill ' s the iceman cometh , with lee marvin and robert ryan , and directed by live television veteran john frankenheimer ? but it happened . this spring , the writers institute pays tribute to landau ' s labor of love with a selection of the aft films , including homecoming and the seldom seen philadelphia , here i come .\nfor years i ' ve wished that there were some organization that would have as its function the presevation on film of great theatrical occasions . i think of laurette taylor in \u201cthe glass menagerie , \u201d tallulah bankhead and fredric march and florence eldridge in \u201cthe skin of our teeth , \u201d tallulah again in \u201cthe little foxes , \u201d laurence olivier and vivien leigh doing their backto\u2010back \u201ccleopatras , \u201d ethel merman shooting that stuffed seagull in \u201cannie get your gun . \u201d i mean the simplest kind of preservation : the performance photographed , preferably from a fixed position , with no close\u2010ups , no alternating two\u2010shots , no cinematic junk .\ni didn ' t know this existed , or i likely would have watched it in high school and told everybody that it was my favorite movie . it addresses an issue that i was fond of back then ( conformity , the same issue my movie are you asleep ?

boat captain , did his whole part as a send - up and wrecked a lot of the tension of the film because , in our version of the script , the german was more - or - less the central character . we didn\u2019t want the usual burroughs 1916 ranting hun , so we made him the philosophical core of the film . we gave him speeches and everything , we made him a \u2018sensitive kraut\u2019 but mcenery played the whole thing for laughs . they had to re - dub all his dialogue with anton diffring . most of the action in the film came from our script up until two - thirds through . they improved on the beginning by making cuts \u2013 we made as many as we could because most of the book is all in that bloody submarine with them taking turns in taking it over . \u201d\nunrealized projects have been a source of some discussion lately , particularly through hans ulrich obrist\u2019s book / exhibition unbuilt roads . given the spatial and economic limitations faced by many artists , the relevance of the proposal as an artistic medium could continue to expand , and the examples present in \u201cends of the earth\u201d feel especially compelling . for me , it was great to see the original works and documentation in this exhibition , but inclusions like the superstudio collages , which envision a massive , gridded superstructure covering the earth\u2019s surface , communicated more about the expectations and desires of that era . the diagrams and texts for the unrealized projects in \u201cends of the earth\u201d best demonstrate the possibility and excitement present at the birth of land art , revealing the utopian spirit and boundlessness of this era . the brashness of these projects , unswayed by their own impossibility , provides a model for the exhibition itself , which succeeds in presenting a definitive survey of land art , despite spatial and proximate limitation .\nas world war two comes to an end , a group of german pows , boys rather than men , are captured by the danish army and forced to engage in a deadly task - to defuse and clear land mines from the danish coastline . with little or no training , the boys soon discover that the war is far from over . inspired by real events ,\non february 28 , 2006 , members of the iroquois confederacy blockaded a highway near caledonia , ontario to prevent a housing development on land that falls within their traditional territories . the ensuing confrontation made national headlines for months . less well - known is the crucial role of the clan mothers of the community who set the rules for conduct . when the community ' s chiefs ask people to abandon the barricades , it is the clan mothers who overrule them , leading a cultural reawakening in their traditionally matriarchal community .\nwriter robert towne ' s screenplay was partially based on a true los angeles scandal in the early part of the 20th century ( the story of the nefarious 1908 owens valley ' rape ' and scandalous san fernando valley land - grab by speculators ) . the film ' s character , hollis mulwray , was loosely derived from la ' s real - life water engineer william mulholland ( the general manager of la ' s bureau of water works and supply ) , who orchestrated the purchase of water rights and the piping of water from the high sierras into los angeles by an aqueduct that flowed through the now - valuable san fernando valley north of la . the name of the character hollis mulwray was a clever anagram for\nmulholland\n. the evil character of noah cross was a reference to the biblical noah ( and the torrential flood that devastated mankind ) .\nbefore gittes can speak to hollis mulwray , he is sarcastically told that he is\nwelcome to try .\nthe commissioner has unexpectedly and mysteriously drowned in the middle of la ' s summer drought . his body is dragged up , in their view , from the remote , empty , fresh - water reservoir outside los angeles . the victim of an apparent accidental drowning according to escobar , the fall knocked him unconscious and his body was washed down the entire length of the run - off channel . mulwray is missing his glasses and one shoe , and his bow - tie is crooked . [ or was he the victim of profit - seeking , land - hungry opportunists whom he opposed , who are buying up thousands of acres of artificially - created drought land ? ]\nin 1976 , a young woman in krakow is making her diploma film , looking behind the scenes at the life of a 1950s bricklayer , birkut , who was briefly a proletariat hero , at how that heroism was . . . see full summary \u00bb\na private detective , jake gittes , hired to investigate an adultery case , stumbles on the plot of a murder involving incest and the privatization of water through state and municipal corruption , land use and real estate . if he doesn ' t drop the case at once he faces threats of legal action , but he pursues it anyway , slowly uncovering a vast conspiracy .\nan extremely complex film noir full of mystery and intelligent twists that keep us always guessing and trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle , while its brilliant script is only matched by polanski ' s excellent direction and jack nicholson ' s nuanced performance .\nthe investigation of a routine story by a detective uncovers secrets under many layers , facades , red herrings , and networks of corruption , conspiracy and deception . the film contains numerous plot reversals and twists ( many of which regard the private eye ' s client and her family ) , fistfights and some violence , and many changes of scene . as the hero unravels the complicated , elusive facts , he flippantly and self - confidently offers pat explanations for the deeply - flowing corruption he unearths , and then finds he must continually revise his inaccurate pronouncements after uncovering further evidence . his efforts to separate good from evil - to save the good and punish the evil - ultimately fail in the metaphoric ( and then real ) world of chinatown by the film ' s climax . [ the film ' s title , according to towne , referred to a ' state of mind ' rather than an actual geographic place . ]\nmr jonny first arrives to the wild west to present the art of the cinematograph .\nthe original valley grab was the owne river valley scandal of 1908 , mirrored in the 1930s by towne . in the preface to his oscar - winning screenplay , he recalls : \u201cmy wife , julie , returned to the hotel one afternoon with two quilts and a public library copy of carey mcwilliams\u2019 southern california country , an island on the land - - and with it the crime that formed the basis of chinatown . \u201d mcwilliams , for decades the editor of the nation , presented towne not only with information about the original land and water grab , but also evoked the old los angeles , a city born in a desert where no city logically should be found . the screenplay explains , \u201ceither you bring the water to l . a . or you bring l . a . to the water . \u201d john a . alonzo \u2019s cinematography , which got one of the movie\u2019s 11 oscar nominations , evokes the l . a . you can glimpse in the backgrounds of old movies , where the sun beats down on streets that are too wide , and buildings seem more defiant than proud . ( notice the shot where the bright sun falls on the fedoras of gittes and two cops , casting their eyes into shadows like black masks . )\nafter the capitulation of nazi germany , the british liberation forces offered the danish government the opportunity to enlist german pows to defuse mines along the length of the danish western coastline .\n\u201cchinatown\u201d was seen as a neo - noir when it was released - - an update on an old genre . now years have passed and film history blurs a little , and it seems to settle easily beside the original noirs . that is a compliment .\nthe film marked french - born polish director roman polanski ' s return to hollywood five years after the gruesome 1969 manson murders that took the life of his actress wife sharon tate . polanski opted to use a bleak ending rather than the more hopeful finale in the original screenplay , presumably because of his life ' s tragedies . only a few years later , in 1978 , he would be indicted and convicted with the 1977 statutory rape ( and drugging ) of a 13 year - old girl ( later identified as samantha geimer ) while at the home of star / actor jack nicholson ( absent at the time ) , and had to flee to europe as a fugitive . this was polanski ' s last film made on location in the us .\n` ` daughters of pharmacist kim ' ' also inspired film and tv adaptations . this family drama is about a pharmacist and his four very different daughters , slightly reminiscent of louisa may alcott ' s ` ` little women . ' '\nyet the bogart character is never merely cold . his detachment masks romanticism , which is why he\u2019s able to idealize bad women . his characters have more education and sensitivity than they need for their line of work . he wrote the rules ; later actors were able to slip into the role of noir detective like pulling on a comfortable sweater . but great actors don\u2019t follow rules , they illustrate them . jack nicholson \u2019s character j . j . gittes , who is in every scene of \u201cchinatown\u201d ( 1974 ) , takes the bogart line and gentles it down . he plays a nice , sad man .\nmalte grunert was born in 1967 in berlin . after attending law school at the fu in berlin , he started out in the film industry producing documentaries , before moving into tv drama working for various companies including bavaria film and clt ufa . from 2006 until 2009 , grunert was head of the feature division at studio hamburg and went on to found amusement park film in 2009 . he has produced and co - produced 11 feature films to date , among them perfect sense , directed by david mackenzie and starring ewan mcgregor and eva green . he also executive produced mackenzie ' s\nrock ' n roll romantic comedy\ntonight you ' re mine , filmed entirely on site at the t in the park festival . most recently grunert produced a most wanted man , based on john le carr\u00e9 ' s novel and directed by anton corbijn , starring the late philip seymour hoffman , willem dafoe and rachel mcadams . he also co - produced mike leigh ' s mr . turner , which premiered in competition at the 2014 cannes film festival . his next project is the british / german co - production remainder , video artist omer fast ' s debut based on a novel by tom mccarthy , starring tom sturridge .\nlike most noir stories , \u201cchinatown\u201d ends in a flurry of revelation . all is explained , relationships are redefined , and justice is done - - or not . towne writes of \u201cmy eventual conflict with roman and enduring disappointment over the literal and ghoulishly bleak climax\u201d of the movie . certainly the wrong people are alive ( and dead ) at the end of the film , but i am not sure polanski was wrong . he made the movie just five years after his wife , sharon tate , was one of the victims of the manson gang , and can be excused for tilting toward despair . if the film had been made 10 years later , the studio might have insisted on an upbeat ending , but it was produced during that brief window when robert evans oversaw a series of paramount\u2019s best films , including \u201c the godfather . \u201d\nsimone b\u00e4r founded the\ncastingstudio\nin 1990 . her extensive database and great talent for spotting ingenues has made her a much sought after casting agent for german and international productions . b\u00e4r was in charge of the german casting of the monuments men , the book thief , the grand budapest hotel , the reader and a most wanted man among others as well as michael haneke ' s the white ribbon and christian petzold ' s phoenix . in 2002 simone b\u00e4r received the german film award for casting .\njake arranges a final showdown with cross at the mulwray mansion , showing him evidence of both the land grab and the murder . mulvihill , who accompanied cross , holds a gun to jake\u2019s head and forces him to lead them to chinatown and the girl . cross finds the pair on the verge of escaping and pleads with evelyn to hand katherine over to him . instead , evelyn pulls a gun on cross , shooting him in the arm before attempting to flee with katherine in their car . the police , ignoring jake\u2019s claims that cross is the true criminal , fire on the car and end up killing evelyn . cross then takes katherine away , and lieutenant escobar orders the stunned jake to go home .\njake tells evelyn mulwray what he has learned about this scheme , and the two discover that cross and his associates at the albacore club , a private association of the wealthy and powerful , are hiding the scheme by purchasing the land in the name of the residents of a local rest home of which they are benefactors . returning to the mulwray home , jake and evelyn wind up in bed together . while lying there , , evelyn receives a phone call and leaves the house suddenly . jake secretly trails her to an unfamiliar house , where the young blond woman he saw earlier with hollis is lying on a bed , apparently restrained . jake confronts evelyn about the woman , and evelyn says that she is her sister .\n\u201ci try to be as professional as possible in whatever i do , but i knew it would be silly to get too serious about a film like this . anyway , before jim and i started , as i wanted to do the best i could for the film , i asked amicus , \u2018what\u2019s the budget ? what can you afford to do ? \u2019 because if we knew what they could afford we could write the script accordingly . and they said , \u2018oh , don\u2019t worry about that\u2019 . and they kept saying that , so in the end we just had to write the script in the dark as far as the budget was concerned and , as a result , about five hundred bleeding dinosaurs came down to one glove puppet . but working on that film was in no way as traumatic as the final programme experience had been because i had no personal involvement with it , none at all . i insisted at the beginning that we do one script , one version , and that would be it , and that was the way we did it . we delivered the script and we got the money\u2026after some time . i think they finally paid us in monthly installments . \u201d\nless impressive was the pterodactyl used in the sequence in which a caveman is snatched up and carried away . \u201cthat we weren\u2019t very pleased with . it worked all right in the film though . we built a full - sized model which was suspended from a crane , for the shot where it swoops down and picks him up , and for the shot showing it flying off with the man in its mouth , we used a smaller model . the man was a model in that shot too , and he contained a mechanism that moved his arms and legs . \u201d possibly the best effects in the film involve the german submarine , which was a model over twenty feet in length . \u201cthere were four of us working on that . we built the sub and filmed it in the largest tank at the studio . it moved on an underwater track and we were underwater ourselves a lot of the time shooting it . we lived like fish for about six weeks filming that thing ! \u201d\nas the title gives away , the dominant inspiration was lewis carroll ' s ' alice ' s adventures in wonderland ' ( 1865 ) , and its sequel ' through the looking - glass ' ( 1872 ) . these were inspired choices , thanks not only to the audience ' s likely familiarity with the text ( even if they hadn ' t read either book , a high - profile feature film adaptation was released over 1972 ' s christmas season ) , but also the number of relevant metaphors that could be extracted from the material .\nafter an inventively surreal first half , the film turns into an animated slideshow illustrating the regulations ' practical impact , from the basic requirement that all labels need to have a description , a list of ingredients and a contact address , to more detailed explanations and exemptions ( some staples like butter and cheese are regulated separately ) . other highlighted issues include a ban on depicting ingredients not included in the product and the importance of verifiability in making claims about a specific food .\nthis crime is eventually revealed as an attempt to buy up the san fernando valley cheaply by diverting water so that its orange growers go broke . then that water and more water , obtained through bribery and corruption , will turn the valley green and create wealth . the valley has long been seen as a key to california fortunes : i remember joel mccrea telling me that on his first day as a movie actor , will rogers offered two words of advice : \u201cbuy land . \u201d mccrea bought in the valley and died a rich man , but he was in the second wave of speculation .\nsmaller columns are headed :\nj . j . gittes hired by suspicious spouse ,\nand\nchief ' s use of funds for el macondo love nest being investigated .\nthe newspaper is being read by gittes seated in a barber ' s chair during a beautifying haircut . the barber barney ( george justin ) makes an off - hand reference to jake ' s near - star status in the center of the film industry :\nthis animated film was sponsored by the ministry of agriculture , fisheries and food , and was intended to explain to housewives , consumer groups and older schoolchildren the impact of the labelling of food regulations 1970 , which came into force on 1 january 1973 . this extended the provisions of the food and drugs act 1955 , which required food to be wholesome , fit to eat , and\nof the nature , quality and substance demanded\n, and the food hygiene ( general ) regulations act 1968 , which made more specific requirements about hygiene standards in food manufacture .\ni wasn ' t sure what to expect from this film . fellow fans of steven spielberg advised me to see\nsugarland express ,\nso i bought the dvd . i ' m glad i did it as it is one of spielberg ' s best . he should have made films more along the lines of\nduel ,\njaws\nand the above film . being based upon a true story is a feather in the films cap . the two main characters - played by goldie hawn and william atherton - are very sympathetic in spite of their circumstances . she is planning to find their baby boy so they can be re - united . he is a convict serving a light sentence . they both help his breaking out of jail and after taking a police officer hostage , they lead the police of texas on a state wide chase . the wife and her convict husband race against time so they can find their son . this has thoughtful moments and it isn ' t a hard - hitting film . there is some violence but it ' s fairly mild and minimal . the pace is good and the tension is sustained throughout . ben johnson does well as one of the senior police officers who leads the dragnet . he is a tough man but he isn ' t totally lacking in compassion . the direction is some of the best from steven spielberg .\naccording to historian thomas tram pedersen , the exact number of the losses will never be known due to the chaos of the first months of peace . there are discrepancies between the danish and german records .\nalthough the film audience and jake ' s operatives are aware of the woman ( by the camera ' s angle ) , jake is the last to learn of her presence . he turns and meets the client behind him - the real mrs . evelyn mulwray ( faye dunaway ) , a beautiful , cool socialite in a blue outfit [ looking remarkably like joan crawford from an earlier era ] who is not amused by his joke or by his smearing of her husband ' s reputation in the newspaper . ( she is not the same woman who had hired him a few days earlier to spy on mr . mulwray . )\nin 1839 , the revolt of mende captives aboard a spanish owned ship causes a major controversy in the united states when the ship is captured off the coast of long island . the courts must decide whether the mende are slaves or legally free .\nthrough the barber ' s window , a car overheats ( water in its pressurized radiator blows out as steam from under the hood ) during la ' s hot summer . [ the image symbolizes what happens when water , the major focus of attention in the film , is subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures . ] jake also becomes hot - headed when he must defend his sleazy profession ( of nosing into other people ' s personal affairs ) to another shop customer ( doc erickson ) who is employed by the first national bank mortgage department :\nthe marshalls - widowed ranger father rick , and his two children will and holly - are on an outdoor expedition like they have many times before . while rafting on this trip , an earthquake opens up a chasm resulting in them tumbling across some raging rapids and over an unknown waterfall . they end up alive but in a world unfamiliar to them , a world they will ultimately coin the land of the lost . it is inhabited by creatures some they have never seen or heard of , and some which no longer exist in the world they knew back home , creatures such as dinosaurs . they will find that some of these creatures are friendly , and some of them which they need to stay away from for their lives . as they eke out a life in this strange land , they try to understand what got them here so that they can make their way back home , that process which is fraught with its own dangers based on the unknowns of what is on the path to home . what they are also initially unaware of is that rick ' s brother , fellow ranger . . .\nthe 11th annual event will run march 7 through 17 across british capital venues including the barbican , tate modern , the national gallery and the institute of contemporary arts .\nnot only american films are classics , remember that . a ( russian ) all - star cast and interesting plot makes this movie both likable and irresistible . it ' s sort of an\natlantis\nstory here , with a group of people setting out to find a lost ( previously assumed ) fantasy land and upon reaching it , not knowing how to deal with the customs of the place , have to deal with all too real consequences . the plot itself is enticing enough , but the acting is incredible and the theme song is most memorable . i haven ' t read the the book , so i can ' t honestly compare it to the movie , but speaking for myself , i know this will be one movie i can and will never forget .\nto force german pows to defuse mines was a violation of the 1929 convention relating to the treatment of prisoners of war prior to the amendment to the geneva conventions of 1949 . by calling the german pows ' voluntarily surrendered enemy personnel ' british and danish commands bypassed the rules of the convention .\njoel basman started his career in 2004 as a cocky teenager in the weekly swiss soap opera l\u00fcthi und blanc . in 2007 he played an autistic boy in tobias ineichen ' s jimmie , and won the 2008 shooting star award for his performance as a russian teenager in luftibus by dominique de rivaz . basman went on to play the part of bertel in the controversial german mini - series generation war . earlier this year he won the german film award for best supporting actor for his performance in when we were dreaming .\nafter interviewing 50 people who were detained , director michel brault used their experiences to construct composite characters to convey what happened to them during the crisis . shot in the signature direct - cinema documentary style that brault played a central role in developing , the film has the look and feel of a documentary but directly announces that it is not ; the actors introduce themselves by name before going into character to recount the experiences of people who were arrested . scenes based on actuality are shot in black and white , while those that are fictionalized are filmed in colour .\nthe hard - boiled private eye coolly strolls a few steps ahead of the audience .\nthe marshalls meet enik , an intelligent , time - traveling relative of the sleestak .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthe film ' s credits play under a sepia - colored art deco background in the old 1 : 33 screen format , suggesting the bygone era from the past - one of yellowed photographs , the early days of hollywood ' s sound pictures , amber - preserved fossils , or images drained of their color . a haunting , melancholy trumpet solo provides the musical backdrop for the title sequence . set in 1937 , the first scene opens in the upscale office of a los angeles private detective - hero , an overdressed character named j . j .

ended plot - boiler of a film , joshua is a startlingly disturbing tale of domestic implosion . the introduction of a new baby starts unraveling the family at the center of the film , exacerbating the mother with its incessant cries and putting the father in the midst of an increasingly hard to control home environment , with\u2026\n. for example , the film earned first place in russia with $ 11 . 42 million over the weekend , while\nat first , joshua invites you almost to imagine the boy ' s sense of rejection and growing frustration .\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 .\njoshua is one of those horror films where after you are done viewing it , you just sit there and think about what you have experienced , about what you have just gone through . it ' s a film that made me think , wondor , and just kept me at an uneasy , unsettling feeling after the film had ended . director , george ratliff has crafted a very dark and very disturbing film about a disturbed , yet highly intelligent young 9 - year old boy named joshua , as his erratic behavior slowly starts to tare apart the family . i don ' t want to say too much , but this is a very creepy and sophistacated horror film that will truly keep you on your feet ! sam rockwell and vera farmiga portray\u2026\nratliff never acknowledges that his audience has likely seen this setup dozens of times before , making the film feel laborious and unsurprising .\ntheir vile abusive parents , would be vastly more credible , though it ' s just not been done that way in film .\nthis movie moved waaay too slow for its own good . i know the director was going for that show - burn dread that i like so much in artful contemporary horror , but they payoff in this film was infinitsimal . there are so many interesting avenues this film could have explored , but it introduced then abandoned every one of them . joshua and his grandmother ' s rabid religiosity , abby ' s sever recurrent post - partum depression , the inherent tensions between brad ' s homelife and career and joshua ' s own emotional turmoil are all completely wasted here . i think that the shifting focus between the characters in this film was a mistake . first it ' s abby , and she ' s quickly disposed of , then it would appear to be joshua for a little while , and the plot finally settles on the unravelling brad . just when it looks like they ' re going to grant joshua some depth , they flatten him out again . which is the biggest shame in the film , because he could have proven to be a new breed of bad seed . oh well .\nthere ' s a subtle little fillip at the end which showed joshua capable of something approximating love , for his faggy attentive uncle , which puts joshua ' s effete good grooming , love of museums , & hatred of sports , in a slightly homophobic context .\nlike we were thinking ,\nthen went back to see if the film could be edited to include a reference or two to the title .\nbut ratliff has made a genre film , and if you make a genre film , you either fulfill the genre , transform it , transcend it or apotheosize it . you can ' t do it halfway , and you can ' t offer up something that ' s not quite as satisfying .\nthe video tape joshua pulls from the drawer to watch is dated 2 / 29 / 1997 . 1997 was not a leap year .\nhistory , in its lumbering way , can still outpace hollywood . the original trailer for the kingdom ( peter berg , 2007 ) played late last year , promising the purest propaganda film of the era . an american base in saudi arabia has been suicide - bombed by a terrorist mastermind . voice of liberal reason : \u201cyou have to let the tools of diplomacy work . \u201d cue jennifer garner , no - nonsense forensics expert : \u201cif we can\u2019t get there now , we will not find the man responsible for this crime . \u201d\njoshua is the main attraction , but it is his parents whose eyes we as the audience see through . vera farmiga ( 2006 ' s\nthe cairn family welcome a newborn baby into their family , and slowly sanity begins to unravel for everyone . at the heart of the insanity is joshua , a 9 - year old prodigy with an obsession for egyptian death rites . we all know where this story is headed , of course , having been privy to a number of bad seed knockoffs . thankfully , writer / director george ratliff knows this , too . what sets joshua apart is its attention to character and personal drama . to be honest , this film could easily be classified as a drama rather than a horror film , and that\u2019s its greatest strength .\nthe video tape joshua pulls from the drawer to watch is dated 2 / 29 / 1997 . 1997 was not a leap year . see more \u00bb\nthe leader of the dave matthews band is part of the company , ato pictures , that produced\njoshua ,\nstarring sam rockwell . matthews says he was involved in finding the film project , but was not very involved in the production ( one exception _ urging that rockwell be one of the actors ) .\nso stop reading right here & return to this article after seeing the film , then see if you agree with me about the basis for its capacity to disturb .\ni had a different take on the film . firstly , i belive that joshua was abused . the drawings , trail of dead pets etc point to this - and there is no doubt there is something wrong with the child . also let ' s not forget the bruising on joshua ' s back to which the dad exclaimed\nwho did this to you ?\n. the end scene in which josh and ned are playing the piano together indicate to me the possibility of ned abusing joshua . . . i believe that someone was , but ned seems the only one to have had the proximity of doing so .\npoised self - consciously between art and entertainment , \u201cjoshua\u201d offers imaginative staging and some superb performances . celia weston is all clenched teeth and frozen hair as joshua\u2019s aggressively christian grandmother , while dallas roberts brings so much charisma to the minor role of an empathetic uncle , you wish he were around more often .\njoshua ,\nwhich opens in limited release friday and expands to wider release later this month , is about a musical child whose family life dramatically alters once his baby sister is born . quickly , the family starts to fall apart , and joshua seems to be at the center of its downfall .\ndespite several such creepy moments , the film ' s fundamental narrative is more wearying than horrifying . certainly , the monster child plot is familiar , but the easy fit of the\nbad mothers\ninto joshua ' s apparent worldview - - they ' re weak , needy , angry - - is downright disappointing . while brad is by no means a conventional guy hero , he ' s no match for the scheming , ingenious boy . joshua ' s story overwhelms all .\nmore precise than the monster film genre , the zombie flick ( a perennial cultstud fave ) is cinematic silly putty : cheap , gross fun , with a knack for picking up the day\u2019s newsprint and stretching it across the warp of what looks a lot like dead flesh . for a brief passage of time , it seems like 28 weeks later ( juan carlos fresnadillo , 2007 ) will be the best war movie ever . this despite the fact that it\u2019s barely distinct from predecessor 28 days later ( danny boyle , 2002 ) , origin of the fast zombie trend .\nit ' s a small thing , really , but it sets up the tension that will drive george ratliff ' s urban horror movie . the trouble begins for nine - year - old joshua ( jacob kogan ) when his father brad ( sam rockwell ) pulls him away from the soccer game to attend the birth of his sister lily . the first glimpse joshua has of the intruder is from a hospital room door : he looks in on mom abby ( vera farmiga ) and dad cooing over their precious bundle . grim and pale , joshua here adopts the demon - child demeanor he will maintain for the rest of george ratliff ' s film .\ni hate to be the rube to say it , but\nthe bad seed ,\nthe 1956 camp classic , did this sort of thing better . yes ,\njoshua\nhas it all over\nthe bad seed\nin terms of composition , and it does incite dread in a way that the earlier film never did . but\nthe bad seed\nhad one thing that\njoshua\nlacks and desperately needs : it had a pint - size sociopath who was fun to hate .\nvera farmiga who plays joshua ' s mother . would also play a mother to another evil child . ' esther ' in the 2009 horror thriller ' orphan ' .\nbut something curious happened . after an advance screening or two , the film vanished ; trailers too . life went on . the test numbers for the real war surged downward to darkness .\nthe movie is okay but it has a lot of loopholes . joshua is a sick child who is both brilliant and insane . his actions were all well calculated and planned . this is a case of extreme sibling rivalry . . joshua has been very insecure with his parents ' love for him which was brought about by lily his baby sister . i think joshua idolizes his uncle too much that he did everything just to ruin his own parents so that he could be with his uncle who was also a disturbed man .\n\u201cjoshua\u201d is rated r ( under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian ) . it has breast - feeding , child - slapping , granny - pushing and rodent - stuffing .\n< i > joshua < / i > is the tale of brad ( sam rockwell ) and abby ( vera farmiga ) cairn , perfect manhattan parents in a perfect manhattan apartment whose perfect life begins to crack after the birth of their second child lily . shortly after lily arrives home , a dark side of prodigy son joshua slowly begins to reveal itself .\nfor the lowly protagonist , david mann , spielberg hand - picked character actor dennis weaver because he loved his performance as the jittery and feeble hotel night manager in orson welles\u2019s 1958 film touch of evil .\nthe screenwriters adopt a strategy of having all of joshua ' s crimes take place offscreen . they have their reasons . by keeping the crimes offstage , joshua ' s evil is never grounded in practicalities . he can float through the film as a frightening spirit of menace , as almost an abstraction . moreover , if we were to see him actually poisoning the hamsters in school , the spectacle might look unconvincing or unintentionally funny , and the whole picture could come crashing down . but as it stands , the picture doesn ' t crash - - it just never takes off .\nbut ultimately all this restraint leaves the impression that\njoshua\nwas a thriller made by a director who just wasn ' t interested in thrilling . ratliff , who made the documentary\nhell house ,\nis more at home depicting the scenes of family life - - an uncompromising portrait of stress , fatigue and unhappiness . the film ' s dialogue has an expansive , naturalistic quality that makes the viewer feel like an eavesdropper . it ' s in these details that the movie ' s strengths lie , and people who like\njoshua\nwill like it for these reasons .\nwhat a strangle little film . i think this is one of those films that needs to be watched a second time before you can fully appreciate it . maybe . i ' ve yet to find out .\nhaving taken an interest in ancient egypt & the mummification process , we about half expect joshua will be using a long skinny spoon to scoop out his baby sister ' s brains through her nose . but there is no goriness to the film , & though he does eventually get round to mummifying something , in the main this interest merely adds to the suspense of a story that remains strictly psychological .\npart of the fun of joshua is the skill with which ratliff juggles horror and realism , feeding one into the other until we become part of the unraveling of the cairns ' perfect life .\nthe closing themesong , david matthews '\nthe fly ,\nis a sweet tune of horror that explains it all , in case any of us missed the point . it ' s sung first by joshua as one of the creepiest serenades of love ever seen on film , then by matthews behind the end credits . it made me watch all the credits just to hear the song while my stomach continued sinking with a kind of awe for what it reveals . too bad the whole film wasn ' t as awe - inspiring as this close , but it ' s frankly in great part david matthews ' doing .\nthe whispering routine , however , seems to have been an afterthought & not well developed . it ' s as though the film were mostly in the can when someone said ,\nhey , we could call it\ni don ' t like soccer ,\njoshua says later that night . tucked into bed , he looks up at brad , who does his inept best to reassure him : it ' s okay not to play soccer , it ' s okay not to like baseball . joshua persists .\ndo you ever feel weird about me , your weird son ?\nbrad blanches , caught out with no ready answer except the usual platitudes . so now you know : joshua - - brilliant student , musical prodigy - - is feeling unloved , jealous , and afraid . and he ' s weird .\njoshua falls a bit flat at the end , but overall it delivers some genuine old - school chills - something that was missing when macaulay culkin played a similar role in\nthe good son .\njoshua\nis a masterful study in subtlety that proves horror films don ' t necessarily require gouged eyes and decapitations to earn their place in the higher echelons of the genre . take the recent\nthe cairn ' s life seems to be a harmonic family : the father brad works as a stockbroker , his wife abby takes care of their common new -

grader traversed a big - city crosswalk will have their nerves seriously jangled by joshua .\ni ' m not so sure that the writers left this movie without an ending . i think the message is in joshua ' s composition at the end of the son , as well as hidden in the nature of his relationship with his parents throughout the movie . joshua is a constant figure in the film , however , when his parents are present , he becomes scenery . he repeatedly questions his parents love for him , however discusses in his song that he never doubted his uncle ' s love for him . perhaps the point was not for joshua to continue to kill until there was no one left , but rather to set it up such that custody of him and his sister should go to his uncle\nas it always should have been\n. with his mother , grandmother and father out of the way , the only relative who could take custody of he and his sister was his uncle .\nare simply awful at just 16 % positive . furthermore , early reports suggest the audience reaction won\u2019t be much better . it\u2019s too soon to tell if this film is going to underperform already low expectations , but this is not a good sign .\nthe arrival of a newborn girl causes the gradual disintegration of the cairn family ; particularly for 9 -

year - old joshua ( kogan ) , an eccentric boy whose proper upbringing and refined tastes . . . see more \u00bb\njoshua is definitely a disturbed child , but it must be questioned why he is the way he is . parental influence must have played some role in this . although i don ' t think joshua has been abused , as is claimed in this movie , i think his mother and father are both unstable to different degrees . being as bright as he is , joshua is probably very aware of this . and like the person who posted the last comment , i believe he does everything he does not purely because he is evil . i think he just wants to live a life with his uncle that would be drastically better for him than the current situation with his parents .\nthe contrived script expects us to believe that joshua ' s fainting spells , his nocturnal home videos of his sleeping family and his acts of violence on crowded new york city streets fail to raise suspicion until it is too late .\ndo you know what joshua said to his sister on the video which is watched by brad ? you know , the video recorded by joshua during the night with the infrared video - camera . i did ' nt hear what he said . . . the theory in which joshua has been abused by ned is possible . but i think he feels forsaken by his mother who is always with lily , and by his father who is always working ( and maybe is cheating on abby ) . . . so , he has just wanted to change his parents by ned without killing . . . and i think it because of the video that he started to look for separate from his parents .\nwhen his dad at last comes to the realization of how deeply narcisistic & evil his son is , he sets out to protect the infant & himself in the worst conceivable ways , proclaiming open warfare on joshua . alas for brad , joshua ' s way , way ahead of him . and before it ' s over , daddy won ' t be able to argue very convincingly that he ' s not himself a vicious child abuser whose kid is innocence personified .\nthe 1996 yugoslavian film pretty village , pretty flame proves that hit films don\u2019t necessarily translate from continent to continent . while it received plenty of favorable reviews from american film critics , pretty village , pretty flame only managed to attract $ 211 worth of business when it received a one - theater / one - week release on january 16 , 1998 . a far cry from the nearly 800 , 000 moviegoers who caught it in serbia ( which was close to 10 percent of the country\u2019s total population at the time ) .\nwill one of the nation ' s greatest violinists be noticed in a d . c . metro stop during rush hour ? joshua bell experimented for gene weingarten ' s story in the washington post : urltoken ( video by john w . poole )\nand $ 171 . 2 worldwide . its biggest opening came from the u . k . , where it earned $ 14 . 50 million in 608 theaters , while mexico wasn\u2019t far behind with $ 12 . 34 million . however , arguably its most impressive opening came in brazil where it earned $ 7 . 5 million , which is the best opening for an animated film in that market . the film has already made enough to pay for its $ 75 million production budget , so it is a monster hit . however , its decline from\nso , indeed , my biggest qualms with the film is that the writers did not commit to either explaining joshua nor to him really becoming the monster . he is a monster . it ' s pretty clear that he killed his grandmother , though she honestly could have fallen . we know that he drove his mother crazy or , at least , pushed her over the edge . so , why not have him go all the way ? it might have been the more artistically enthralling way to end the film without explanation , but the device can also be used when the writers don ' t know where to go next . they ' ve built all this up , but cannot figure out how to end it or where to go with it . there is no good triumphs over evil in this film , and we are left without knowing what will happen to joshua , why he ' s this way , nor whether he will eventually take the lives of those remaining in his life . artistically , it is up to us to decide . we don\u2019t get the perfect resolution like in the good son where susan evans must choose to drop one of two children off a cliff , her own son henry who has been wreaking havoc on their lives for months , or her nephew mark . guess which one she chooses ?\njoshua : suspense thriller . starring sam rockwell , vera farmiga , dallas roberts and jacob kogan .

( witness the storm of outrage when the writer ayelet waldman confessed , in a 2005 essay and later on \u201cthe oprah winfrey show , \u201d to loving her husband more than her children . )\n, and 2014 could not compete with that , so it lost ground to 2013 . june hopes to turn things around and there are some reasons to be optimistic . all four weeks there is at least one film opening that at least has a shot at $ 100 million . there are even two films that at least have a shot at $ 300 million .\nthe first scene in joshua is both banal and ominous . young boys are playing soccer , the camera focused on their thin , be - socksed legs as they kick the ball and dash across the grass . the idyll is instantly adjusted when the coach yells out ,\nyou ' re playing like a bunch of little girls !\nbut it\u2019s sam rockwell\u2019s spectacular turn as the harried paterfamilias that simultaneously binds the film and pushes its boundaries . whether coddling his character\u2019s doped - up wife or reaching out to his wacky son , mr . rockwell is never less than convincing as a stressed - out dad whose life is slowly disintegrating . the story might get away from him , but his grip on that character never falters .\nwe are introduced to a well - cast young actor , jacob koban as eight year old joshua . this young actor seems to understand the concept of\nless is more\n& presents a blank gaze & dandified veneer that permits to viewer to project onto him every expectation already in them about how bad even a well - behaved child might really be .\nis by far their biggest property . even including the film\u2019s grosses from wednesday and thursday , its $ 69 million debut is barely in the top ten for the year so far , and poor reviews and a b + cinemascore mean that it won\u2019t have significant legs , even with a bit of help from the upcoming july 4 weekend . so all eyes are going to be on its overseas performance .\neasily won the race for the top of the box office chart and became the first film released in 2014 to earn more than $ 100 million during its opening weekend . granted , it barely made it , but we will take it . this helped the overall box office climb by 20 % to $ 190 million over the weekend . unfortunately , this was still 8 % lower than the same weekend\nthe staging of the doom of vince ( joel edgerton ) involving sneaky evil david , one of his hellhounds , & an ice - covered lake , is one of the better horror sequences in a film with fewer good bits than it needed . the doom of roxane ( sarah wayne callies ) & the doom of the detective ( dule hill ) both fail miserably , for lack of imagination or emotional content .\nspielberg got his start directing for tv at the age of 21 , helming episodes of such shows as night gallery and marcus welby , m . d . but the aspiring filmmaker was desperately searching for a property he could turn into a feature film . it was spielberg ' s secretary , nona tyson , who found matheson\u2019s story in playboy and first sent it to her boss to potentially adapt into a movie .\nit ' d be a stressful situation even if joshua ' s plan wasn ' t , in essence , to insure that neither his mother nor his father is ever loved by anyone ever , to the end of their lives . yep . that ' s the plan . and honest to shit , it ' s a much spookier plan than just killing ' em outright .\n\u201cghastly\u201d kind of says it all . this 1950s - inspired sci - fi musical\u2014which stars creed bratton ( a . k . a . creed from the office ) \u2014may have nabbed five awards on the american film festival circuit , but it only managed to scare up $ 117 during the week it spent in a single theater in kansas city , kansas in october 2012 . maybe that\u2019s because it had screened at the kansas international film festival less than three weeks earlier ? in the spring of 2013 , johnny tried again , placing the movie in six theaters over the course of four weeks . while it managed to break the $ 1000 mark in revenues when it showed in two theaters in l . a . ( $ 1356 to be exact ) , its total run earned back just $ 2436 of its estimated $ 2 million budget .\nwith : sam rockwell ( brad cairn ) , vera farmiga ( abby cairn ) , celia weston ( hazel cairn ) , dallas roberts ( ned davidoff ) , michael mckean ( chester jerkins ) , alex draper ( stewart slocum ) , nancy giles ( betsy polsheck ) , linda larkin ( ms . danforth ) , stephanie roth haberle ( pediatrician ) and jacob kogan ( joshua cairn ) .\nand i would be surprised if it tops $ 150 million by any serious margin . june looks a lot more profitable . there are five weeks and every week there is at least one film with a great shot at $ 100 million or more . in fact , there are four films with at least a decent shot at $ 200 million and we could double the number of $ 300 million hits released so far this year .\n) is an emotional wreck for the bulk of the running time as mother abby . it initially seems as if she is the crazy one in the family , prone to unpleasant mood swings and at her wit ' s end over dealing with her fussy new daughter . as she fights to keep it together for the love of her son , the question becomes : is abby losing her mind , or is it all being meticulously orchestrated by joshua ? the answer is left somewhat ambiguous\u0097my inclination is that her problems stem from both\u0097and that is as it should be . a scene in which abby and joshua play hide - and - seek is dripping with the kind of suspense rarely seen and captured , and it ' s a testament to director george ratliff that he achieves this despite little in the way of action occurring .\nbut more than anything ,\njoshua\nis a showcase for the immensely gifted rockwell , who pushes himself through an astonishing range of emotions . and every aspect of his character - the cool dad , the terrified husband , the placating son - is completely convincing . well , almost completely : by the end , we know better than to believe him when he insists that everything is going to be just fine .\nin june , universal floated an autumn release date\u2014and a new trailer . it recuts much of the same material with some new stuff , newly dark and ominous , now scored to u2\u2019s \u201cbullet the blue sky . \u201d \u201callow us to help your men catch this criminal , \u201d pleads team leader jamie foxx . \u201cwe shouldn\u2019t be here . we shouldn\u2019t be here ! \u201d professes their host . cut to patrician politico : \u201cthe end comes no matter what . the only thing that matters is , how do you wanna go out ? \u201d a movie about why we had to go in becomes a movie about how we should comport ourselves while there , with hints of exit strategy and a militant - pacifist soundtrack\u2014the film seemingly edited from pro - to antiwar , without ever being released . the circuit of culture grows shorter than ever ; the intermediate phase , where cultural studies labors to suture the film to the history around it , has been rendered obsolete .\nit\u2019s no accident that mr . rockwell cited three particularly creepy films to make his point . \u201cjoshua\u201d is the latest in a long line of \u201cbad seed\u201d movies that portray children as avatars of evil . mr . ratliff knows that his movie can be construed as a nightmare view of parenthood . \u201ci always blame david gilbert , my co - writer , \u201d he said in a telephone interview . \u201cit was 100 percent his idea . \u201d\nit ' s gonna get better\nis brad ' s mantra , but it doesn ' t . in fact , it gets much , much worse . and joshua , it ' s becoming clear , is at the center of the storm . it ' s always been obvious that he ' s an unusual boy , but brad , much to his own horror , is starting to wonder if he ' s an evil one .\nit\u2019s certainly a far cry from the sleek , rambling upper east side apartment of the family in \u201cjoshua . \u201d the boy , played with eerie calm by jacob kogan , goes to an elite private school . mr . rockwell\u2019s character is a hedge - fund manager who plays squash at a fancy club . at home mr . rockwell has no central park views , and he exercises at crunch . his passion is boxing , not squash .\nless than one month after he accepted a best actor oscar for his portrayal of idi amin in the last king of scotland , forest whitaker was making news of a different sort when the supernatural thriller he starred in alongside gabrielle anwar was released in one theater for three days and recouped less than . 005 percent of its $ 7 million budget . as the film\u2019s tagline stated :\nyou can bury the past , but sometimes the past won ' t stay buried . . .\n) is an unsung dramatic actor who finds the truth in each moment and holds on it . the way in which his character metamorphosizes is disconcerting and yet absolutely electrifying , going from a happy - go - lucky dad with undying love for joshua to a beaten - down soul on the verge of losing everything and questioning who his son really is . in a nicely nuanced and understated supporting turn , dallas roberts ( 2006 ' s\nin this coldly elegant setting , evil manifests without the aid of the usual retro - gothic signifiers like the inverted crucifix or the malevolent nanny . instead the sinister is an elusive presence , as much a part of the mise - en - sc\u00e8ne as the baby\u2019s crib , to which joshua is developing an eerie attraction . but for abby , trapped in her gleaming prison with not one but two disagreeable children , the more immediate horror is motherhood itself .\n,\nfor example , seen by myself less than an hour before\njoshua .\nthe former spared no expense on the red stuff , but that apparently didn ' t leave enough money for acquiring a good script . the end result was a movie that was unscary and dramatically cold . by comparison , this modern - day\nbad seed\ntale expertly weaves a spell of genuine frights and jittery tension even in the most innocuous of scenes .\nhence this version of film criticism seems of late like child\u2019s play . the geopolitics decoder ring always works , and with a minimum of twiddles : 1\u20132\u20133 baghdad ! ( alternately , the count can go 9\u201311 - new york ! ) cinematic administrations are always dummies for the current regimes ; villains , once mere criminals , now tend toward self - serving ideologues , worshipping at the altar of blow - stuff - up - ism . when we go out at night , terror is the order of the day ."]}

( seeing the wind as a mustang , imagining other characters staring at her . ) in the famous climax , where she shoots roddy and then imagines him rising from his grave , i wonder how much of it is real . no one but letty sees roddy double back to the house . when she confesses her crime to lige , he seems less than disturbed . is it possible that roddy never came back at all ? that the whole sequence was a symbolic manifestation of her delusional terror of the wind ?\nword is out : stories of some of our lives ( dir . mariposa film group : peter adair , nancy adair , veronica selver ,

boddy\u2019s murder . the two forged a false will in order to try to kill the suspects and inherit mr . boddy\u2019s wealth and sir hugh black\u2019s wealth . after these events , the suspects , including those at the hearing of the will , all of the suspects tried to escape the united states after being placed on the federal bureau of investigation\u2019s most wanted list ; the investigation for finding these criminals was directed by inspector peter pry . eventually these suspects came together and traveled to paris , tangiers , and then to rangoon ; they all collaborated to find and kill inspector pry , who was tracking them . ms . vivienne scarlet and her boyfriend col . michael mustard were arrested by inspector pry for espionage and murder [ 5 ] .\nduring this time , her mother , mrs . peacock , invited her to stay in boston where she met sir hugh black and his nephew , mr . john boddy , who was studying for a doctorate in anthropology at the time . john boddy and vivienne scarlet eventually fell in love , even though she was already dating mike mustard . in 1954 , john boddy proposed to her , angering her boyfriend . however , boddy called off the engagement when he heard his best friend , mike mustard , was already in a relationship with her [ 7 ] .\nin the land of the head hunters ( dir . edward s . curtis , 1914 )\ndisney and iwerks developed an assembly - line system that met disney\u2019s desire for top - quality animation , story , and character development as well as allowing them to churn out one film every two weeks , as mandated by their contract with mintz and universal . through oswald , disney also realized the potential for character merchandising . from the outset , universal had promoted oswald \u201ctie - in\u201d products , the first being an oswald the lucky rabbit chocolate bar that hit the shelves in 1927 .\nan enemy of men fighting the flames fighting youth a fool and his money the great sensation justice

a brilliant bit of virtuoso acting . gish excelled in controlled hysteria . her terror is heart - rending because it is completely believable .\nat the town dance , letty is the belle of the ball .

important events , leaving the overall scene to the viewer\u2019s imagination .\nveidt\u2019s acting brings gwynplaine to life , much more than the make - up designed by jack pierce . the overall image provided batman - cartoonist bob kane with the model for his best - known villain , the joker .\nmost of the first reel of a two - reel comedy starring the king of the cowboys , tom mix , who also directed . the highest - paid western star of the 1920s , tom mix was a genuine rodeo champion who got his start in movies as a cattle wrangler .\nhanson\u2019s performance as lige is equal in every way to lillian gish\u2019s as letty . lige is an unrefined western guy with a heart as big as a house . a real diamond in the rough . his acting is excellent throughout the start of the film but his character really comes into his own with the wedding night scene . when the scene opens , he is a slaphappy bridegroom just dying to please his new wife . her scornful rejection is like a splash of ice water . he matures before our eyes , realizing that he has been used , that his lovely bride can\u2019t stand him . hanson plays this part of the scene almost entirely with his eyes . his subtlety is very effective .\nthe following is taken from a review by stephen d . smith that appeared in the first issue of monsterzine ( fall 2000 ) , an online magazine of the horror movie genre :\nthe rest of the supporting cast is uniformally good . montagu love is , as usual , an excellent bad guy . william orlamond is folksy and charming as the lovable lout sourdough .\nthe man who laughs is a melodrama focusing on one young man , the tragic gwynplaine , a boy forced to watch the execution of his father , a 17th century scottish nobleman ( also portrayed by veidt ) who has rebelled against the tyrannical king james ii . to avoid more unrest , the king spares the life of the tortured boy , but not before ordering that his face be carved into a permanent smile . in this wounded state , young gwynplaine is placed in the charge of a band of gypsies who are to take him to exile in france . the motley group abandon him during a severe snowstorm in the french countryside\u2026 .\nroddy tells letty that she has to leave with him . he loves her . the cyclone passes and the unflappable lige announces that the party is back on . roddy asks letty to think it over . he will be in town until the next day .\nso , while the happier ending is not ideal , to me it is much more satisfying than the original , tragic ending .\n, the story is based on the legend of a girl who sacrifices her life to save her father\u2019s reputation as an artisan .\n, talmadge\u2019s popularity was on the wane and her marriage was in trouble . she had begun an affair with mexican heartthrob gilbert roland on the set of camille ( 1927 ) . schenck knew about the romance\u2014talmadge had asked for a divorce\u2014but realized that the two were a great box office team and paired them as costars three more times . in spite of excellent production values and the heat between the stars , the variety critic wrote that camille \u201clacks punch . \u201d\noften imitated yet never equaled , charles spencer chaplin remains the most recognized of all the silent movie stars , thanks to the iconic character he created \u2014 \u201cthe tramp . \u201d a key factor in his films is their poignant blend of laughter and sorrow ; reflections , perhaps , of the joys and hardships of this unique filmmaker\u2019s own life .\n( 1930 ) . although mayer and thalberg respected gish , they were not sorry to see her go . their experience with her was one of the catalysts that propelled them to cultivate their own stars from the studio\u2019s ranks , ensuring total control over their careers . it was the beginning of the star system , which lasted into the 1950s .\n( 1921 ) , turned out to be her last . she had planned to make a film or two each year , but after marrying louisiana plantation owner and aviation entrepreneur harry palmerston williams , she never performed again . \u201cthere comes a point when you can go no further and even if you have gone a long way life is empty without love . but there are no limits to happiness when you are married to the man you love . \u201d\ndisney was an expert storyteller and instinctively knew the shorts would be more successful if oswald was more than a bystander . instead , the humor arose from situations created for oswald\u2019s world and his reactions to them . the quality of the animation was also superior to the work of other studios , mostly because of iwerks\u2019s technical expertise and his skill at drawing perspective .\nlige sits outside and broods . letty cries but soon her fear of the wind overwhelms her despair . it continues to blow through the night .\nhe leaves her alone in the bedroom . letty\u2019s nerves begin to crumble . she tries to block the keyhole . she panics , pacing the room . her pacing is mirrored by lige , who is confused and frustrated .\nillian gish plays an innocent girl thrust into the harsh elements of the american west . the unceasing wind batters the landscape and begins to unravel her sanity . beautiful direction from victor seastrom and intense acting from both gish and lars hanson . silent cinema at its finest . for goodness sake , see it !\nat the time , new york city was still the capital of animation , home to the studios that produced popular animation like the felix the cat and krazy kat series . undeterred , disney opted for california , as his brother roy was already there convalescing from a bout of tuberculosis . in mid - 1923 , with a reported $ 40 in his pocket , disney left for hollywood .\nmerchandise tie - ins , of course , were lucrative only to copyright holders . by early 1928 , with oswald on a roll , disney felt confident enough to travel to new york to request an increase from $ 2 , 250 to $ 2 , 500 per short . before he left , iwerks alerted him that mintz was signing disney\u2019s animators to new contracts , replacing disney as their boss . disney didn\u2019t believe it until he arrived in new york , where mintz offered $ 500 less per short , plus 50 percent of any profits . mintz offered disney , who thought of himself as oswald\u2019s owner , a contract to join mintz\u2019s firm as an employee . disney learned that universal controlled the copyright to oswald and all profits from the character , regardless of who made the films . feeling betrayed , disney turned down mintz\u2019s offer and vowed never again to relinquish control of any of his studio\u2019s creations . before leaving new york , disney wired his brother roy to sign iwerks , his best animator\u2014and one of the few who refused to sign with mintz\u2014to an exclusive contract .\nif the style be overcharged and overshining with bright sharp strokes and points , these are no fireworks of any mechanic ' s fashion : these are the phosphoric flashes of the sea - fire running on the depth of the limitless and living sea . enough , that the book is great and heroic , tender and strong ; full from end to end of divine and passionate love , of holy and ardent pity for men that suffer wrong at the hands of men ; full , not less , of lyric loveliness and lyric force ; and i for one am content to be simply glad and grateful : content in that simplicity of spirit to accept it as one more benefit at the hands of the supreme singer now living among us the beautiful and lofty life of one loving the race of men he serves , and of them in all time to be beloved .\nletty is growing steadily more unnerved by the wind . lige doesn\u2019t help matters by telling her that the wind storm they are experiencing is nothing compared to a \u201cnorther\u201d , which panics the mustangs and can tear a man limb from limb .\nif disney hadn\u2019t lost oswald to mintz and universal , there might not have been a mickey mouse . from then on , disney fiercely protected his copyrights , affecting copyright laws of the u . s . and the world to this day . mickey and other disney characters would have long since passed into the public domain if not for the intense lobbying for copyright extensions by the walt disney company .\ntwenty years later , gwynplaine is known as\nthe man who laughs ,\na popular clown . though the jeers of the crowd pierce his heart , his popularity brings prosperity . he is in love with dea , the blind sideshow performer , and she with him . while touring in england , gwynplaine is discovered by the nobility and restored to his proper position , but this is no typical cinderella story . as in most of hugo\u2019s work , the hero seldom wins .\ncharlie\u2019s first impromptu bits of business in a sketch called \u201cthe football match\u201d earned him a year\u2019s contract . two years later , still with karno , he came to america , starring in \u201ca night in an english music hall . \u201d the tour went west , opening in san francisco on june 4 , 1911 , at the empress theater on market street . the company returned to the bay area four times over the next two years , and each time chaplin\u2019s billing in newspaper ads became more prominent , until it was on a par with the company name .\naressted for killing a police officer beating him over the head with a

spoke of being a practical woman , glad for the high paying work in the movies , but preferring the theater . \u201ci am working simply and solely to earn my bread and butter , and my ambition is to find a good play\u2026 i shall remain in the pictures until i find one . you see how matter of fact i am . i confess that i really much prefer the stage to the pictures \u2026 after all , one loves to be able to talk . \u201d\nbut there were many ups and downs to follow . douglas fairbanks , whom chaplin called \u201cmy only real friend\u201d in hollywood , died in 1939 . a third marriage , to actress paulette goddard , failed in 1942 . in 1943 , chaplin married oona o\u2019neill , daughter of playwright eugene o\u2019neill , and geraldine , the first of their eight children , was born in 1944 . while he was on a vacation to europe in 1952 , chaplin\u2019s re - entry permit was revoked by the united states attorney general , who believed chaplin\u2019s liberal politics made him \u201can unsavory character . \u201d after his last american - made film ,\nafter boddy\u2019s murder , the suspects returned to their homes in arlington , massachusetts . eventually , her mother ran for election as the massachusetts senate and won . during this time , many guests have come to arlington to visit the senator and other citizens of the town , but have met their fates as a result [ 2 ] .\nbut perhaps no death in these years was as a great a loss for the aesthetics of the cinema as that of german - born director paul leni . leni died in 1929 . his vision was one of the most terrifying and influential in the cinema in his day , and yet now , it is almost a forgotten one .\n\u201cthe thing that makes talmadge a star is the look in her eyes , \u201d mgm studio head and star - maker louis b . mayer once said of actress norma talmadge . one of the most popular stars of the silents , her career ended after two poorly received talkies , and she is nearly forgotten today . if talmadge is remembered at all , it is because of two iconic films of the 1950s . both feature characters based on erroneous impressions of talmadge : lina lamont , the silent screen star in\nthe bells

something even of a horrible charm\u2014a shocking splendor of effect . the rhythmic horror of the thing penetrates us not with loathing , but with a tragic awe and terror as at\u2026 an actual caprice of the night\u2019s , a portion of the tempest of things . so it is always ; handle what he may , the touch of a great poet will leave upon it a spell to consume and transmute whatever a weaker touch would leave in it of repulsion .\nletty accepts an apple from the oily roddy . no symbolism here , no sir !\nonce , recalling the death of his mother during its making , although she actually died eight months after its release . her death , in fact , brought closure to the previous two years\u2019 traumatic events , perhaps the worst time of his life since childhood .\nin contrast to the urbane roddy , lige and sourdough are positively primitive . they tussel like kids over who gets to sit by letty in the wagon and finally decide it with a shooting contest . a smirking roddy watches letty begin the last leg of her journey .\nbut chaplin\u2019s stage success paled in comparison to his movie career . he began in films at the keystone company in january 1914 for $ 150 a week , ten times his karno salary . a year later he signed with the essanay film company for $ 1 , 250 a week , plus a $ 10 , 000 signing bonus . in 1916 , he went to mutual for $ 10 , 000 per week and a $ 150 , 000 bonus . and in 1917 , he agreed to produce eight two - reelers at first national for $ 1 , 000 , 000 with a $ 75 , 000 bonus , the next logical step came in 1919 when he formed united artists with mary pickford , douglas fairbanks , and d . w . griffith , a move that gave them complete control over the production , releasing , and distribution of their films .\nuncertainty , poverty , and madness were the perils of chaplin\u2019s childhood . born in london on april 16 , 1889 , chaplin was the second of three sons by three different fathers born to music hall singer hannah hill chaplin . his father , charles chaplin sr . , also a music hall performer , left the family for a tour of america the following year . the separation ended the marriage . hannah\u2019s youngest son , wheeler dryden ( whose father leo was also a singer ) , was born in 1892 . six months later the infant was whisked away by his father , a separation that would last until charlie was an adult

by mickey\u2019s fame , he faded from films in 1938 , appearing one last time in 1943 . he lasted longer in print , gracing the comic pages through the 1960s in the u . s . , and later in mexico and italy . in 2004 and 2005 , the original oswald became a pop culture hit in japan , spawning a craze . finally , in 2006 , the walt disney company reacquired oswald as part of an assets exchange with universal . after almost 70 years , oswald was finally home at disney , taking his place alongside mickey and the rest of the iconic disney characters .\nmagazine : \u201ci suppose every girl who

time , to kill him\n: this remains to be proved three days hence .\nthe falseness of the malicious rumours of his lack of credit with the burghers here , through his unwise carriage of himself towards them , will be sufficiently revealed by their own attestation , which he has reluctantly sent to lady stafford to show to his lordship in his own justification . he understood that some blushed not to assure burghley at the council table that divers burghers had left the town because of drury ' s being in command there . actually , for every one who has left , ten have returned , several houses have been re - edified this summer which have not been dwelt in these three or four years , and the town has not been so prosperous for several years . \u2014 bargan - up - zom , 17 september , 1588 .\nanticipating that his numerous conservative and nazi critics would object to his endorsement of emancipist movements , hirschfeld asserted that politics and the love life of nations are intimately connected because they are both rooted in the sentiment of freedom .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\nclaude noel hulbert was born on christmas day 1900 , the son of a doctor . he followed his older brother jack to cambridge where he became a prominent member of the cambridge footlight but didn ' t take a degree . he made his professional debut in 1920 and joined his sister - in - law cicely courtneidge on the halls .\n\u2014hirschfeld made no effort to conceal his utter revulsion . indicatively , when hirschfeld focuses on these kinds of issues in\n17 september . his lordship got all the burghers to work and spent the day on the walls superintending them . the enemy\nlodged their quarters somewhat nearer together\nand brought faggots , presumably to make a bridge between their camps . count solmes and marshal villiers came this evening to see the fortifications ,\nwhich they liked very well ;\nthey left next day . a ' drum ' of sir william stanley ' s surrendered .\nas the film career began to fade , hulbert resumed his stage work , scoring notable hits in the hulbert follies and panama hattie . he died in sydney in the middle of a world cruise taken for the sake of his health .\nclearly conveys , hirschfeld ' s critical view of europe ' s colonialist politics and its attendant christian - inspired ideology was underpinned by his jewish sense of belonging to an exiled and homeless people whose traces never failed to captivate his attention . thus , he mentions , for instance , his meeting in shanghai with arthur sopher , the author of a monograph titled\nhirschfeld was well aware of the limited validity of his perceptions of asia as a result not only of the time and geographic constrictions of his journey , but also\u2014and more importantly\u2014of the specific cultural outlook that sustained his research and emancipatory endeavors . as a reserved foreigner prepared to relativise his cultural standards , hirschfeld observed with interest , for instance , that a picture of the imperial couple could be found in almost every japanese brothel room , and that the prostitute and her client would reverentially bow in front of the picture ' before proceeding , she to her business and he to his pleasure . '\ndespite his general distaste for organised religion , however , hirschfeld does not regard asceticism as a necessary component of religious worldviews .\nalthough the relative popularity of the term ' third sex ' in the twentieth century was mainly due to hirschfeld , he repeatedly stressed that he never used the concept in his scientific publications , but only in the context of his political and educational writings .\nhe had a hit with the gershwin musical primrose in 1924 and spent the rest of the decade in musical comedy . 1924 was also the year in which he married his wife enid trevor . hulbert scored one of his greatest successes in r . k . o . loudspeakers in 1931 though he largely abandoned the stage in the 30s to concentrate on his film and broadcasting career .\nits merely tactical - rhetorical postulation does not entail a revocation of his fundamental insight that ' all human beings are intersexual variants . '\nhaving coped for decades with the christian prejudice against sexual minorities , hirschfeld was well prepared to present his sexological contentions in cultural settings dominated by the mighty ideologies of far - eastern religions . his general assessment of the situation in asia is pointedly reflected in a passage of\nhirschfeld ' s claim that his own sexological teachings resumed and prolonged classical asian traditions was certainly instrumental in eliciting from his audiences an overwhelming response to the educational and emancipatory ideals he advocated . thus , after reminding his audience in patna , india , during an english - held address that ' sex and love are as old as mankind , but [ that ] sexology is the youngest of all sciences , '\nhis lordship advised the governor to issue a new proclamation commanding soldiers never to walk without their arms or leave their quarters : the former proclamation much disobeyed . this night the enemy\nentrenched himself within caliver - shot of wau port .\nthis morning the lord general and the governor decided to make a sally there , but put it off because captain bannester brought a false report that the enemy was\ndrawing down round about .\nmight have undone the night ' s work in a couple of hours . the evening after very foul .\nhirschfeld ' s interest in the role religion plays in the sexual cultures of asia is hardly surprising if one recalls that , since childhood , the jewish sexologist had to deal with the religious and racial bias of his christian surroundings . his frank identification with the ideals of german enlightenment and\nhirschfeld also refers to his conversations in calcutta with baghdad - jews , and in bombay with a coloured jewess who came originally from south india .\nford ' s in his flivver ,\nmurmured the d . h . c .\nall ' s right with the world .\nford !\nwhispered the driver . and his twins were of the same opinion .\nfordey\nthey said .

'\n[ sexual science ] , the monumental compendium of hirschfeld ' s life work , reiterates and explicates the challenge his doctrine of sexual intermediaries poses to the immemorial ideology of binary sexuality .\nthe decade was a productive one . his brand of silly - ass comedy was much in demand and , though not an original cast member , he fitted right into the aldwych farces a night like this and thark . his best - remembered work however came in the 40s when he teamed up with will hay for the ghost of st michael ' s and my learned friend .\non these conditions they released him and restored him to his former government , except that they were to be privy to all that he wrote to her majesty , the council , or willoughby .\ninstead of reuniting nina ' s son john with bernard , his father , huxley made john the d . h . c .

'\ntaking account of the entanglements of power in asia , hirschfeld castigated not only the repressive politics of the colonial regimes of the time , but also the curtailment of personal freedom resulting from the millenarian traditions of the colonised nations themselves . hence , his critique of european imperialistic policies did not prevent him from scorning the idealisation of cultural differences commonly associated with asia ' s exoticism . although hirschfeld hinted at the cultural relativity of his views on issues such as necrophilia among the tamils in the malabar coast\nas the butler of a grand manor house like downton abbey , mr . carson is the senior male domestic servant and shares the management of the house with the housekeeper . he is in charge of the pantry , wine cellar , dining room , silver , kitchen and the male staff who report to him . butlering is a time honored position in the hierarchy of service to a great family estate like downton , and carson wears his mantle with pride and dignity . like other household servants , butlers were required to remain single and focused entirely on the family that they were serving . carson has worked at downton since he was a boy and compares events and actions against the high standards that he has known in the past . because of his longstanding relationship with the family his allegiance is to violet , the dowager countess and not with his current mistress cora . ironically , he supports their desire to break the entail for lady mary even though it is against the norm and not in line with tradition .\ncopy of a memorandum by sir thomas sherley that 1448 l . 15 s . 10 d . is due to sir john burgh , for his horse band and foot band , until 12 october , 1587 , all deductions , etc . , made .\nat the shutting up of his letters , was informed that andrea doria has burnt biserta . if this is true , hopes it\nwill make these drowsy secure sleepers to look up and . . . revenge themselves .\n\u2014rapamet , 13 september , 1588 .\nrecalling lawrence in new mexico - - on the fringe , that is , of an expanding industrial state indifferent to his appeals to its\naboriginal\npast - - huxley predicted his former mentor ' s increasingly marginal significance as a social prophet . whether john is in malpais or fordian london , he never fits in , much less sparks a general renewal . on the reservation , the savage is resented as an anomaly ; transported to london , he becomes a novelty , not the world state ' s redeemer but its latest curiosity .\ndespite the wealth of evidence he reports , however , hirschfeld avoided making elaborate emancipatory claims concerning the sexual minorities he encountered throughout his journey . given the pervasiveness of the oppression of women in asia , hirschfeld considered their emancipation the most urgent task of any libertarian sexual politics .\non november 15 , 1930 magnus hirschfeld set out for the united states , where he had planned a lecturing tour . acknowledged at the time as one of the most eminent theorists in the history of sexology , he was saluted upon his arrival as ' dr . einstein of sex . '\nnearly three months after the missive to mrs . roberts , huxley completed an enormous redoing . in a letter to his father late in august , he sighed with relief at having\ngot rid of\na\nsatirical novel about the future\n( letters 351 ) . ( 23 ) between 27 may and 24 august 1931 , huxley transformed brave new world from a burlesque of\nthe wellsian utopia\ninto a modern\nsatirical novel\nof ideas about\nthe future\nin general . his quarrel was with the oncoming situation and all who were bringing it about .\nmuch of the americanization of the world state depends on huxley ' s clever uses of henry ford ' s name . prominent places and famous landmarks , such as charing cross tower (\ncharing - t tower\n[ bnw 68 ] ) and big ben (\nbig henry\n[ 99 ] ) , have been renamed for ford ; the highest religious and temporal authority , mustapha mond , is addressed respectfully by fordian titles , namely ,\nour ford\nor\nhis lordship\n( 35 , 37 ) . in 306 pages , one counts at least 110 references to ford and things fordian . in chapter 3 , with a total of 19 allusions to ford , they come in clusters - - on pages 60 , 62 , and 63 , for example . in chapter 5 , which has no fewer than 21 references to ford , eight occur on pages 91 - 92 . chapter 4 , which makes only one reference to ford , may have been written earlier , before chapters 3 and 5 . when bernard discusses with lenina their trip to new mexico , she asks if it will start from\nthe charing - t tower\n( 68 ) .\nas they were quietly going in through the ' port , ' one turned back , and refused to go in without money , which conway promised him . but he thereupon refused to go in unless all were given money , and despite conway ' s promise that all should be satisfied , called to the soldiers to stay . conway seized him and ordered the sergeant - major to take him into ward , whereupon he drew his sword upon conway and shouted to the soldiers\nto help him if they were men .\nat least a hundred drew their swords and the guard bent their pikes against conway to keep him out . conway drew his rapier ,\nran in\nthe chief of them , exchanged the rapier for a pike , and aided by the sergeant - major and his own men won the ' port , ' whereupon they all ran away , crying\narm , arm .\nhis unambiguous rejection of christianity , however , never led hirschfeld to accept jewish religious orthodoxy or political zionism as possible solutions of the heatedly debated question of jewish identity . instead , he opted for a secular understanding of judaism focused on the realisation of universal humanness as the true and final aim of history .\nin view of the unsettling consequences hirschfeld ' s doctrine entails , it is not surprising that post - world war ii german scholarship has consistently avoided dealing with the deeper aspects of hirschfeld ' s sexological thought , and thereby contributed to the on - going misrepresentation and underrating of his work as a whole .\nwhen bernard telephones helmholtz watson from new mexico , he learns that the d . h . c . is planning to follow through on his threat to send him to iceland . huxley worked into chapter 6 two preparations for bernard ' s discovery of the d . h . c . ' s son instead of his own : the director ' s earlier threat to exile bernard - - it occurs in section 2 , right after the d . h . c . ' s revelation of his own trip to the reservation ( bnw 114 ) - - and the phone call to watson . of the seven references to ford in chapter 6 , two appear during bernard ' s interview with the d . h . c . and another two are part of the telephone call . a fifth - -\nour ford loved infants\n( bnw 109 ) - - is one of the four holograph emendations discussed earlier .\noriginally , as bernard ' s contemporary , watson too would have been old enough to be john ' s father . in the revised typescript , where he is the 25 - year - old bernard ' s closest friend , watson still gives the impression of being an older , maturer person ; as his enlightenment begins , he experiences a secondary adolescence , a supplementary growth or rebirth . although huxley conceived watson ' s expanded role late , he managed to make his importance clear by chapters 15 - 17 , the confrontation with mond . in contrast , huxley compromised bernard marx by inserting two handwritten paragraphs in which he invites miss keate to one of his parties to meet the savage . huxley also typed in the advances bernard makes to eton ' s headmistress during the showing of the penitentes film ( ts 152 - 54 ) . before bernard became popular as the savage ' s guide , he frowned on casual sex .\nhirschfeld dismisses the possibility of resolving them by means of the asceticism preached by most world religions . thus not surprisingly , hirschfeld underscores the affinity between his own thought on sexuality and the eroticism permeated with the ethical , but a - religious principles of confucius , whom hirschfeld apostrophised as ' the chinese nietzsche . '\nhirschfeld proceeded to pay tribute to such outstanding indian forerunners of sexual science as barburavya , king of penchal , gonikaputra , dattaka and vatsayana . at the same time , hirschfeld reminded his listeners , ' a short time after this classical period\u2026 , a long period came of nearly 2000 years , in which only theologists [\nfew explicit references to our ford or america can be found in the first 27 pages of the brave new world typescript . this suggests that the first chapter of the novel was completed before huxley fused henry ford ' s america with h . g . wells ' s worldwide utopia as his novel ' s target . once he did so , brave new world became increasingly anti - fordian : one definite and two possible references in chapter 1 increase to five in chapter 2 ; the count rises to 19 by the third chapter , where the d . h . c . ' s allusion to ford in his flivver is the ninth reference .\nby the time huxley penned the savage ' s suicide , however , lawrence ' s influence , waning steadily since his death , had faded almost completely . lawrence ' s excessive admiration for america may have been the last straw . doubtless , lawrence was sincere in declaring that new mexico had\nliberated [ him ] from the present era of civilization , the great era of material and mechanical development\n( phoenix 42 ) . but huxley foresaw no such liberation . the more he reconsidered , the more ineffectual new mexico seemed , an eminently ignorable appendage to the real america that ford and his ilk not only epitomized but were exporting worldwide .\nin his search for prehistoric traces in current cultural configurations , hirschfeld ascertained the unabated magical and ritual relevancy of lingams in widely dispersed locations between japan and western india . he mentions for instance that remains of a phallus cult associated with hopes for fertility and male progeniture have survived in japanese rural areas independently of buddhism and shinto .\ndone with purple ribbon and essentially free of emendations , ts 119 stops three quarters of the way down the page once it has overlapped the lines crossed out on the much older ts 120 . bernard asks john to tell him all about his life\nas far back as you can remember ,\nand the savage recalls that\ntheir sorrow at the earl of leicester ' s death . praise his zeal for the true religion and the preservation of these low countries . they hope her majesty will make good their loss by some more signal favour . they thank god for her glorious victory over the spaniards . \u2014utrecht , 18 september , 1588 , stylo veteri .\nlike in the case of his sexual doctrine , hirschfeld ' s elaborations on race are guided by jean - baptiste lamarck ' s philosophical contention that , with regard to the infinite fullness of inherited characteristics and forms , ' all classifications of living beings are ultimately only\nartificial instrumentalities\n: nature itself \u2026 acknowledges neither classes nor species . '\nnext morning ( sunday ) the victualler ' s man arrived with some provision of corn , and many soldiers were at the waterside\nto see the goings forth of the boats and the comings in .\na few evil disposed soldiers threw the victualler ' s man off the bridge into the haven , and when he regained the shore pelted him with ' clotts ' and stones . captain hody and the sergeant - major tried to restore order , but the soldiers disregarded them\nby reason their officers laughed at their doings and gave no admonition of redress .\ncaptain hody was himself hit once or twice , and threatened to draw his rapier upon them , but they rudely answered that it belonged not to his charge .\nhuxley demoted bernard from virile protagonist to farcical antihero , a process that coincided with the savage ' s decline from lawrencian standard - bearer to futile alternative . huxley transformed marx into a smallish man with a large inferiority complex ; he transferred bernard ' s original physique and potential for rebellion to helmholtz watson . no longer intent on making bernard and john father and son , huxley chose watson , not bernard , for john ' s closest friend . in chapter 13 , john has\nmade up his mind to talk to helmholtz about lenina\n( bnw 222 ) ; his confidant in the typescript was\nbernard\n( ts 179 ) . when the savage instigates a riot , helmholtz plunges in while marx hesitates on the sidelines .\nthe d . h . c . says he took his new mexico trip\ntwenty - five\nyears ago , when he was bernard ' s age ( bnw 111 ) . because brave new worlders do not age visibly , the unnamed narrator finds it\nhard\nto pinpoint the d . h . c .

) , but \u201cnever\u201d serves up a great cast , including kim basinger as the most beautiful bond girl of all time , domino ; klaus maria brandauer as largo , whose villainy is matched only by his insecure jealousy ; and max von sydow making a brief appearance as blofeld , complete with trademark white cat .\ngiacomo campiotti , who recently helmed the english - lingo miniseries \u201cdoctor zhivago\u201d with keira knightley , shows he knows how to climb emotional heights in \u201cnever again like before . \u201d a gripping coming - of - ager about four boys and two girls who\u2019ve just graduated from high school , this italian - language mountain drama , with a cast of unknowns , sports a wholesomeness and uplifting message geared more to family auds than the jaded young . though overlooked on local release in mid - november , it has an unusual depth that could work better offshore , certainly for fests and tv .\nthat said , connery is , as always , endlessly charming ; the villainous one two - punch of max von sydow and klaus maria brandauer ( as spectre agents blofeld and maximillian largo , respectively ) is fabulously sinister with just the right touch of camp ; and kim basinger\u2019s character is compelling and gorgeous , if a bit underdeveloped .\nthe entire scenario may have been preposterous , but screenwriter lorenzo semple jr . ( credited alongside dick clement and ian la frenais ) chose to ground the character in reality . long before christopher nolan made the decision to treat batman \u201crealistically\u201d on the \u201cdark knight\u201d pictures , semple wrote bond as a scarred and aging action hero coping with the physical wear and tear that a career of saving the world entails .\nit also provides a fascinating alternative to the eon bond films , which at the time were in the heart of the roger moore era . perhaps it\u2019s connery\u2019s swagger , but never say never again is very much a 60s film that happens to take place in 1983 . at times , the cinematography produces a lush , classic connery - era aesthetic . at other times , the combination of underwhelming 80s vehicles , dated hairstyles , and stilted dialogue is more reminiscent of contemporary tv shows the a - team and magnum , p . i . than 007 classics like goldfinger or , yes , thunderball .\nneither of these words fully capture how great eddie robinson is . . . as a coach , father , or american . he is such a great role model for everyone .\nbut , like nearly everything in both hollywood and the fictional world of 007 , it\u2019s really about money . eon turned james bond into the most successful franchise of all time , and mcclory wanted a piece of it . after \u201cdiamonds are forever , \u201d sean connery publicly swore he would \u201cnever again\u201d play bond , but behind the scenes , he was evidently saying , \u201d if you pay me enough . \u201d\nfoliage\nis a duet comprised of multiple improvised scores . each score was derived from physical responses to anxiety ; uneven breath , shaking , and muscle tension . the dancers navigate these scores with deep attention to each other as well as the space they are dancing in .\nfoliage\nis an evolution of nicole\u2019s previous work ,\nbadgrass\n.\nof course , mcclory had it easy , effectively copying the eon formula in nearly all significant respects . minor details , like maurice binder\u2019s trademark gun - barrel / sexy - silhouette opening sequences or the fact that q is referred to as \u201calgernon\u201d during gadget - outfitting sessions , \u201cnever\u201d did without , but the format otherwise stuck relatively close to the model established over 13 previous eon outings .\na true story of a young girl who was sold as a sex slave . the book is a rare look inside the world of sex trafficking and into the soul of the abused .\n\u201cif you wanted someone to look up to , to be inspired by , you never had to look past that team . if you were someone like me , a weed who couldn\u2019t run out of sight without getting a wheeze and who was never going to achieve anything on a football field , supporting saints was the stuff that dreams were made of . we had it all over kids from other districts , because we had the saints .\nsomething not altogether different had happened once before with the rights to \u201ccasino royale , \u201d but when the producers of that film failed to convince connery , they spun the project off into the precarious realm of satire \u2013 tricky , considering how closely the 007 character treads the line of self - spoofery already . but mcclory got connery , and audiences in turn got a very rare treat indeed : a chance to see what a non - eon 007 movie might look like , as directed by \u201cthe empire strikes back\u2019s\u201d irwin kershner .\nnever again is a romantic comedy about falling in love despite your better judgment . an exterminator and jazz pianist in the noble model of gary cooper and other ' 40 ' s screen legends , christopher is having a sexual identity crisis . he hasn ' t been able to perform with the young women he ' s been dating , and is looking for sexual inspiration . grace , an administrator for mentors of new york , sends her final child off to college and then realizes that she hasn ' t tended to her own needs in a very long time . when christopher meets grace at a gay bar , her best friends admonish her that it ' s not a good idea to start a heterosexual relationship with a man you meet in a gay bar . through human insecurities and foibles , and the refreshing reminder that the boomer generation is still very much sexually viable , christopher and grace defy the odds of it never happening again . in a real , meaningful and adult fashion , they fall in love .\ni finished this book nine years ago , but i can still recall how well put together this book was . reading this book made you want to go to a grambling football game as well as meet eddie robinson and his wife . i finished this book sixth months after robinson passed away . so it was a forgone conclusion that no matter how much i wanted to meet him after reading this book , it was not going to happen . there will never be another eddie robinson at grambling in my lifetime or many other lifetimes . he was super old school but he was able to adapt and put with every generation he coached at grambling . rest in peace mr . eddie robinson ( 1919 - 2007 ) .\ntech work is unobtrusive and always in service of the story . duccio cimatti\u2019s camera lets the scenery take center stage in crisp bright colors , which turn dark and menacing as the drama develops . editing concisely packs in a great deal .\nwe build a world . we have a place to start and no other requirements . the performance will express our continued improvisational experimentation . it will explore the relationships that can be instinctively created between light , movement , set , and sound . the work invites viewer and performer to engage in a unique , performance - specific experience that will never happen in quite the same way again . it invites us to eliminate the tight grip of expectation and replace it with freedom , risk , and communication . see you on the other side . . . ( photo by sam polcer )\nbut the most important bit of casting , of course , was connery , and \u201cnever\u201d drives home what a superior bond he was . though 52 at the time of filming , he was almost three years younger than roger moore and appeared tougher than he had in any of the previous adventures .\nconnery had already come back once before for \u201cdiamonds , \u201d and his salary on that film \u2013 \u00a31 . 25 million plus a share of the profits that brought his total to an estimated $ 6 million \u2013 made him the highest paid actor of his time\u2026 until mcclory and his team came calling to make an off - canon bond movie based on the idea fleming had borrowed to make \u201cthunderball\u201d ( reportedly offering $ 5 million and points ) .\n\u201cas it happened , the bloke who got chook had also been taunting pop all game , calling him an old man because of his baldness . so pop shook the cobwebs out of chook\u2019s head and they came up with a plan to get square . \u2018listen to me , \u2019 clay said . \u2018what i want you to do is run up too fast on this bastard , leave a nice big gap that he won\u2019t be able to resist running into , and when he does , i\u2019ll be waiting for him . \u2019 chook left the gap , the bloke fell for the trick and poppa cleaned him up something shocking , as only poppa could do . as the fellow was carried off on a stretcher , pop grinned at him and said , \u2018not bad for an old man , eh ? \u2019 chook said he would have killed for brian clay after that . quite literally , killed for him . those men had a phenomenal ability to stick together . \u201d\nin\ntruss\n, performer emily climer exposes the extremes of acting as both the director and the one being directed in an improvised dance . by heightening attention to these two states , she attempts to offer a glimpse into the simultaneous agency and vulnerability of the improvising body .

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

timed sharp shocks , a good amount of gore , some nudity and even a pretty decent car chase . yes , the film has it ' s flaws and plotholes and the final scene is actually quite awful and extremely rushed , but for the most part this film is a good way to spend 90 minutes on a quiet evening and is definately worth a look .\nin a continuation of its bid to touch on , be relevant to , and experiment with all areas of the entertainment industry , youtube will have a massive presence at the 2014 sundance film festival .\ncir panel and happy hour ( jan . 20 ; 6 -

minute gore - a - thon , and while it ' s not as over - the - top as its hollywood counterparts , the film does provide that tension - through - torture fix . the pov handheld camera effectively builds towards the bloody payoffs , and the attempts at social commentary are entertaining if not incisive . there are also some gross laughs and a gratuitous maria ozawa sex scene to charm the masses \u2013 that is , if her dozens of av films have yet to provide fans with their bump -

[ 15 ]\nnicole kidman doesn ' t usually sell herself short the way bullock does , but her more adventurous projects , excluding the terrific birth ( 2004 ) , have a habit of remaining good ideas only on the page . fur : an imaginary portrait of diane arbus is a curio , and at least an interesting failure - it ' s possible to applaud the film ' s intentions while regretting its technique .\nthese settings are also enticing because they\u2019re ravishing but never distracting . that\u2019s down to the practiced eyes of production designers neil spisak and j . michael riva ( who died in 2012 ) , who achieved a remarkable sense of visual balance by channeling the cartoonish look of countless spider - man comics , yet never allowed the film\u2019s interiors and exteriors allowed to outshine the thoughts and feelings of the men and women who inhabit them .\nbest of all , the film features one of the most iconic set pieces of the trilogy : the gothic spire peter kneels upon after striking mj . grimy , and framed against a stormy sky like an outstretched arm , it looks like something that belongs in batman\u2019s morally murky world , and that intertextual friction reminds us how much peter has changed\u2014and how far he has to go to be worthy of the mantle of spider - man once more .\nsoared into sixth place with $ 4 . 72 million on 1521 screens in 21 markets for a total of $ 14 . 61 million internationally . the film finally hit big in a non - english speaking market earning first place with $ 1 . 27 million on 364 screens in russia , but was soft in its debuts in south korea and italy . in italy it managed $ 683 , 000 on 198 screens , but that was a tiny fraction of the\nblind faith that all will be revealed can keep you glued to a movie long after the arrival of that sinking feeling that none of what you\u2019re seeing can possibly add up . as you watch \u201cpremonition , \u201d a psychological thriller that scrambles time in the life of a desperate housewife , you imagine that the director , mennan yapo , and the screenwriter , bill kelly , must have some notion of where they\u2019re heading , so you suspend your doubts , invest your emotions and go along for the ride . after all , aren\u2019t these hollywood professionals who know something about storytelling ? and didn\u2019t a major star ( sandra bullock ) sign on to the project ?\nanother mistake on the part of the screenplay is to offer a metaphysical explanation of sorts for linda ' s unusual journey . premonition provides a scene between the lead character and a priest in which we are granted insight into the possible supernatural device that has disrupted linda ' s chronology . it sounds a little silly and reminds us why movies like groundhog day prefer to leave the method of time travel to the imagination . typically , the more we learn about such mechanics , the harder they are to digest . ( there are exceptions - such as in the novel the time traveler ' s wife - but this isn ' t one of them . )\nit all begins with the landing of a meteorite , out of which oozes some inky - looking goo . what is it ? where did it come from ? at the end of the day , it doesn\u2019t matter because it\u2019s a metaphorical mcguffin ( described in the film as an \u201calien symbiote\u201d ) that ignites the core story of \u201cspider - man 3\u201d : the intensely virtuous peter\u2019s transformation into a vengeful and abusive bully who is just as repellent and cruel as the very villains he fights .\nit turns out , stacy explains , that uncle ben was not murdered by dennis carradine ( michael papajohn ) , the crook peter hunted down in the first film\u2014the killer was actually carradine\u2019s partner , flint marko ( thomas haden church ) . and , just peter\u2019s luck , marko has gained the ability to morph into sand , which turns out to be a lot scarier than it sounds ( when he absorbs enough sand , he turns into a monster bigger than an eighteen - wheeler ) .\npremonition is as silly and inept a cut - price china shop as sandra bullock has ever been in , an occult thriller in which the events of a traumatic week for a middle - class housewife occur in random order . news comes of her errant husband ' s death in a road accident . the next day , he ' s alive . then comes his funeral and the revelation he was having an affair . then he ' s back home . unwisely , she confides in her mother , her best friend , a cop and a psychiatrist . fortunately , a priest takes her seriously and she tempts fate to save hubby ' s life . my disbelief refused to be suspended .\nfinal destination 3 grossed $ 19 , 173 , 094 on its opening weekend . at the end of its run , march 30 , it made $ 54 , 098 , 051 in north america while grossing $ 63 , 621 , 107 overseas , for a worldwide gross of $ 117 , 719 , 158 . for a time , it was the highest grossing film in the final destination franchise until the arrival of 2009 ' s the final destination , which grossed $ 186 , 167 , 139 worldwide .\nthere is a moment early in \u201cspider - man 3\u201d that offers a neat summation of the film\u2019s fiery critical reception . it begins as sunshine is pouring into the apartment of peter parker ( tobey maguire ) , the \u201canonymous urban crime fighter\u201d ( as a . o . scott brilliantly described him ) known as spider - man , followed by a cloud of gloom bursting in : peter\u2019s girlfriend , mj ( kirsten dunst ) , who announces that her performance in the musical \u201cmanhattan memories\u201d has received a withering review .\nand while the movie remains barely certified fresh on rotten tomatoes , a quick scan of its reviews reveals high - profile detractors like james berardinelli ( who drew blood with a blunt declaration : \u201c\u2019spider - man 3\u2032 is a chore\u201d ) , roger ebert ( who accused the film of having \u201ctoo many villains , too many pale plot strands , too many romantic misunderstandings\u201d ) , and even the movie\u2019s director , sam raimi ( who entered the fray by summing up his own work in one word : \u201cawful\u201d ) .\nwas knocked out of the top five this week but still added $ 3 . 82 million on 3 , 537 screens in 52 markets for a total of $ 223 . 77 million . the film has yet to open in japan , but that ' s about it at this point and there ' s little hope that the movie will hit any more milestones from now until then . however , it is already a massive hit and a huge financial boon for the studio , so everything it does earn will be pure gravy .\nas the plot winds down , it becomes increasingly unimportant that she salvage the relationship with jim . the movie looks most desperate when it sends linda to see a priest ( jude ciccolella ) who happens to have a book tabbed with post - its , detailing\nunexplained phenomena\nthat may or may not be premonitions , usually occurring when people have lost\nfaith .\nwhether or not his banal reminder that\nnature abhors a vacuum\nmeans linda needs to get religion or abandon it completely remains unclear . what is plain , from that initial\ni deliver you into the suburbs\nscene , is that the marriage is dreary , whether you measure this by her grim , repeatedly close - upped face or his resolute noncommunication . linda hates surprises , but premonition might have benefited from one or two .\njim is dead ( and boy is he ! ) once and for all , and linda looks strangely happy . this is supposed to make the audience question the outcome . did jim somehow survive that incredible fireball and limp his burned , adulterous little feet back to his loving wife and two darling children ? nope . he\u2019s dead , baby . linda\u2019s content because she finally accepted her love for her husband and even though she basically killed him , she killed him with love . this may seem like a weak sentiment , but the film actually took great pains to explain it \u2013 remember how the priest explains to linda that it was never too late for faithless whores her to realize what was important and to fight for it ?\nmckinley high school student wendy christensen ( mary elizabeth winstead ) visits an amusement park with her boyfriend jason wise ( jesse moss ) , best friend carrie dreyer ( gina holden ) and carrie ' s boyfriend kevin fischer ( ryan merriman ) on their senior class field trip . as they board the devil ' s flight roller coaster , wendy has a premonition that it will crash , killing everybody on board . when events from her vision begin to repeat themselves in reality , she panics and attempts to stop the coaster from being launched . wendy and several others leave or are forced off the ride - kevin , best friends ashley freund ( chelan simmons ) and ashlyn halperin ( crystal lowe ) , athlete lewis romero ( texas battle ) , goths ian mckinley ( kris lemche ) and erin ulmer ( alexz johnson ) , and alumnus frankie cheeks ( sam easton ) . moments later , the roller coaster sets off and soon crashes , killing all the remaining riders , including carrie and jason , devastating wendy .\nparents need to know that if they ' re looking for the usual bright - faced , charming sandra bullock , this dark thriller will be disappointing and potentially confusing . as a new widow reliving the week of her husband ' s death out of sequence , it ' s unclear whether bullock ' s character is insane , in a drug - induced hallucination , or living in a parallel universe . several disturbing scenes include seeing a car that has just been crushed , a bloody electrocuted bird , a severed head tumbling out of a casket , a woman being committed to a psychiatric hospital , and a child ' s wounded face after an accident . the film never reaches a\nhorror\nlevel of graphic images , but it ' s certainly too creepy for tweens .\nwhen originally editing donnie darko in 2001 , kelly was required to keep the final film shorter than two hours , with its final runtime coming to 113 minutes . [ 2 ] with more freedom in 2004 , his director ' s cut is twenty minutes longer than the original release . [ 16 ] most of the deleted scenes that had been included as extras on the donnie darko dvd were added to narrative , bringing the runtime to a total of 133 minutes .

well , so are we . takashi ishii ( freeze me ) is currently wrapping up the third entry to his violent gonin series . but before we talk about that , let\u2019s take a look at the first two films :\ni think i know why a lot of people didn ' t have a good impression from this movie . here is the most important thing , this gonin saga is an action movie that packaged in a classic action format , an old - fashioned editing . so if you\u2019re not a fan of classic action movie , or can\u2019t get the fun of watching it , then you\u2019re not gonna enjoy this . i guess it\u2019s because they want to keep the tone from the previous gonin . even thought i don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea to keep the old style editing for 20s movie , well it\u2019s been said that this movie was directed by the same director . i can easily notice classic speedy zoom in , awkward dissolve interscene transition , stiff credit title plus city view as a background and intense classic instrumental as a backsound . so it does have a dark environment and some typical old action movies scene such as fighting under the rain , dramatic gun shooting and so on .\ngonin 2 , which came out in 1996 , followed masamichi toyama ( ken ogata ) , a married man who gets into a bad gambling debt he cant pay back . as a result , yakuza gangsters track him down , beat him to a pulp and rape his wife . now , the only thing toyama will pay back is bloody revenge !\n1995\u2019s gonin revolved around a disco owner who convinces 4 other guys to go along with him in a planned heist of the local yakuza thugs for over 100 million yen . the heist is successful , however , the yakuza , obviously perturbed at the theft , send out 2 hit men ( one of which is played by beat takeshi ) to kill the five .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ?

however , bystander perforin / granzyme - mediated killing of hematopoietic cells could also be speculated . both of these patients were cytopenic prior to car - bcma t - cell infusion , which probably contributed to the severity of the cytopenias after car - bcma t - cell infusion ( supplemental table 7 ) . the chemotherapy that patients received as part of this protocol is expected to cause cytopenias , and the extensive therapy that the patients had received prior to protocol enrollment probably contributed to chronic bone marrow impairment in some patients . we never observed bcma expression on any bone marrow cells except plasma cells after performing ihc staining on bone marrows from 85 patients ."]}

currie 1995 ) . this rapidly developing approach emphasizes viewers ' conscious processing of films , as opposed to the emphasis within traditional film theory on unconscious processes . in general , these theorists lean towards seeing the study of film as a scientific undertaking .\nthe oscars present hollywood as it wishes to be \u2014 refined , glamorous and high - minded \u2014 but on saturday night at the greek theatre , the spike tv scream 2008 awards showed the movie industry as it truly is in 2008 : obsessed with superheroes , overflowing with fake blood and relentless in its pursuit to sell popcorn to teenagers . and despite a name that sounds like a b - movie convention , the scream awards turned out to be so of - the - moment in their target audience that top studio executives , major stars and a - list directors not only attended , they talked backstage about the show as a sign of the times .\nthe philosophy of film has become a significant area for philosophical and aesthetic research . philosophers have concentrated both on aesthetic issues about film as an artistic medium \u2014 the philosophy of film \u2014 and questions about the philosophical content of films \u2014 films as philosophy . the sophistication and quantity of contributions in both of these areas continue to increase , as more philosophers have taken film seriously as a subject for philosophical investigation .\ncarroll , n\u00f6el , 1988 . philosophical problems of classical film theory , princeton : princeton university press .\njarvie , ian , 1987 . philosophy of the film , new york : routledge & kegan paul .\nthe acrimonious feud between two of hollywood ' s best - known film directors reached a new level of name - calling and accusation at the weekend as spike lee invoked america ' s bitter legacy of slavery in response to clint eastwood ' s comments to the guardian on friday .\nhannity : i agree . and spike lee or clint , maybe one day , should do a movie on it . but that ' s not what this movie was about .\nd . b . sweeney at the world premiere of spike lee ' s\nchi - raq\nat the chicago theatre on nov . 22 , 2015 , in chicago .\nfestive children ' s animation following the adventures of a young elf who graduates to santa ' s workshop . unfortunately , as hard as spike tries , he struggles to adapt to life in the workshop and cause no end of trouble . from the award winning producer of jungle bunch , spike is the amazing story of how a little elf save christmas .\n\u00a9 2018 spike cable networks inc . all rights reserved . paramount network and all related titles and logos are trademarks of paramount pictures . viacom is a trademark of viacom international inc .\nthe topic of film narration thus continues to be a subject of intense philosophical discussion and investigation . various attempts to explain its nature remain hotly debated . as new and more complex styles of film narration become popular , it is likely that the subject of film narration will continue to receive attention from philosophers and aestheticians .\nphilosophers working in the continental tradition have advocated a more sweeping account of film ' s contribution to philosophy . indeed , the term\nfilm - philosophy\nhas been introduced to refer to the allegedly new form of philosophizing that takes place on film .

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

movie clich\u00e9s you\u2019d assume lee would be too smart to repeat .\na related issue concerning narrative that has been a focus of debate is whether all films have narrators , including those without explicit ones . initially , it was argued that the idea of a narratorless narrative did not make sense , that narration required an agent doing the narrating , who was the film ' s narrator . in cases where there were no explicit narrators , an implicit narrator needed to be posited to make sense of how viewers gained access to the fictional world of the film . opponents responded that the narrator in the sense of the agent who gave film audiences access to a film ' s fictional world could be the filmmaker ( s ) , so there was no need to posit such a dubious entity as an implicit narrator of a film .\n\u201cspike\u201d may not be for everyone . there isn\u2019t much for the gore fiends and it is a story about finding and holding on to the one you love , in a very different and bizarre way , but love none the less . it is an interesting take on the \u201cbeauty and the beast\u201d formula with a darker twist and much more of a tragic story . and that is why it worked for me . i hate romance films but love tragic ones . maybe that makes me a bit twisted , but if i wasn\u2019t i probably wouldn\u2019t be writing these reviews . robert beaucage is gonna be a talent to watch and \u201cspike\u201d is definitely a film deserving of a cult following .\non january 22 , 2008 , ledger was found unconscious in his bed by his housekeeper , teresa solomon , and his masseuse , diana wolozin , at his apartment in the soho neighborhood of manhattan . according to police reports , wolozin used ledger & apos ; s cell phone to call ledger & apos ; s friend , mary - kate olsen , for help .\nas part of their argument , these film theorists have gone beyond examining individual films themselves and have argued that the very structure of the narrative film functions to assist in the maintenance of social domination . from this point of view , an overcoming of narrativity itself is required for films to be genuinely progressive .\nassociate professor of cinema studies and africana studies at new york university , ed guerrero ' s popular books do the right thing ( british film institute , part of the bfi ' s modern classics series ) and framing blackness ( temple university press ) explore black cinema ' s cultural , political and aesthetic history , as well as its critical discourse . here he discusses the rich legacy of spike lee ' s work .\nthe idea that the philosophy of film should model itself upon a scientific model has been contested from a variety of points of view . some philosophers , relying on the writings of pragmatists like william james , have questioned the idea that natural science provides a useful way to think about what philosophers are doing in their reflections on film . here , there is an emphasis on the particularity of films as works of art in contrast the to the urge to move to a general theory of film . others , making use of later wittgenstein as well as the tradition of hermeneutics , also question such a natural scientific orientation for philosophic reflections on film . this camp sees the study of film as a humanistic discipline that is misunderstood when it is assimilated to a natural science .\nby prolific filmmaking ; creating a celebrity / actor persona ; applying a new business model ; and perhaps most importantly , focusing on survivability and success as a\nfinal cut\ndirector in mainstream commercial cinema , spike lee made a huge contribution to jump starting a whole new outlook on black filmmaking . by persisting in his vision , as he says to\nmake one film after another\nfor the mainstream industry and theatres , lee is one of a handful of directors to survive the ' new black film wave ' on his own commercial and creative terms . by industry standards , lee has kept busy making at least one commercial feature film a year , and this interspaced with a steady flow of other media and commercial projects .\n, because if you took out every line of dialogue in the film and replaced it with something that sounded human , it might be an ok movie .\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\nfaison reached new career heights after the film ' s release , with memorable turns in blockbusters like 1991 ' s\nthe silence of the lambs .\na film about a group of conquistadors who come across a group of aztec villagers that worship two tyrannosaurus rexes . starring ian ziering . 2007 on oahu .\nfamily including ledger\u2019s sister kate also speak in the film , but a press release today stated the family would not be conducting any interviews around its release .\nross douthat joined the new york times as an op -

the first tamil film mixed with this sound ) , today they have the latest laser projection for their screens .\n) of the hero or his family is questioned or challenged . crucially for our argument , the cinematic offerings most closely adhering to the 3m formula have not only provided a discourse through which to discuss caste , but also offered a template according to which dominant castes have sought to reimagine and reinforce their dominance . in metonymically linking film stars to political figures , such films suggest that thevars have a right and a duty to uphold their honor . for example , the title song in the film\nregeneration is a 2010 american documentary film written and directed by phillip montgomery that looks at the issues facing today ' s youth and young adults , and the influences that contribute to america ' s current culture of apathy toward to political and social causes .\nlikewise , whilst volumes have been devoted to discussing the significance of caste in tamil politics , there has been less attention paid to the ways in which caste is played out in the cultural sphere of film ( but see srinivas and kaali 1998 ) .\ninterestingly , anna nagar despite being a big residential area , does not have a single movie hall . this is because the highly affluent residents never visited a cinema in the 1990s , preferring to watch films on their vcrs at home . and while there were no proper theatres in the \u201890s , from the early 2000s , it became impossible to invest in a plot and construct a theatre in anna nagar . the screens in aminjikarai served as a small alternate for the residents ! for example , vijay\u2019s 2007 blockbuster pokkiri had a 100 - day re - run at aminjikarai lakshmi , where the film released post its 100 - day run in release centres . this was a new record that was previously owned by rajinikanth\u2019s annamalai in 1992 !\n( master , our thevar master ) excised from the film . more recently , followers of militant pallar founder -

caste violence ( ravindran 2008 ) .\nto understand this genre , however , we need to start with the archetypal celebration of thevar dominance . according to krishnan ( 2008 ) , \u201cit is a kamal hassan [ one of the two most famous tamil actors , and not himself a thevar ] film of high authenticity markers called\nwhere signs , weapons and dialogue all speak to the caste\u2019s dominance . the advertising for the film reinforced the association between caste and violence . in madurai , which has a stronger visual culture than other cities in tamil nadu , a 40 - foot cut - out was installed showing the\n\u2018abirami\u2019 ramanathan\u2019s pet child - the four - screen multiplex abirami mega mall\u2013 has seen the industry evolve . the abirami complex entered business during the early 1970s , at a time when the multiplex boom started in chennai . starting 2007 , abirami took up each screen for renovation and brought up different theme - based theatres . they even introduced a new jargon in cinema trade - the \u20187 star theatre\u2019 . there is a waiter on call to deliver you dinner and there are recliner seats , which can be turned into a bed while you watch your favourite flick .\n( the hunter , babu sivan , 2009 ) , for instance , the fact that the hero is a college student is an irrelevance next to his ability to fight . \u201cif i hit you\u201d one of the film songs puts it , \u201cyou won\u2019t be able to bear it\u201d\u2014thus asserting his superiority over the villains .\n( god\u2019s chosen son , 2011 ) , there was an outcry from thevar groups who have trademarked that phrase for pasumpon muthuramalinga thevar and were particularly infuriated by the fact that the main actor in question was a dalit who is celebrated by pallar youth as one of their own . eventually the film was released as\n( son of thevar , bharathan 1992 ) \u2014meaning \u2018son of thevar\u2019\u2014that can be said to have inaugurated the era of the south being represented as primarily a sickle bearing space . \u201d stalin rajangam , a dalit cultural critic who has written extensively on the caste component and narrative structures of tamil film concurs ; he says that\nwas if anything the reverse . films , once they are released , have a life of their own that is beyond the intentions and direction of the film makers . in this sense , we find krishnan\u2019s reading of the films somewhat limited . at several points , for instance , he makes arguments to the effect that :\ndhoni\u2019s ability to absorb pressure comes to the fore even as a captain and a keeper when his team defends scores . who can forget his gamble to give joginder sharma the last over in the 2007 t20 world cup final ? or his lightning wicket - keeping skills which made him find the split second when the batsman\u2019s foot was off the ground to dismiss ian bell in the 2013 champions trophy final and sabbir rahman in the 2016 t20 world cup match ? or his street - smart thinking evident in removing his gloves and running to get mustafizur rahman run - out in the last ball of the same t20 match ?\nwell , director suresh seems to have good rapport with sarath kumar for he has successfully directed 3 films for him . going for the remake , the film remains drier at few points and that\u2019s quite boring for the audience to sit and watch it with patience . the only convincing thing over here is the dialogues penned by ramesh khanna and he has carefully handled the lines pertaining to situations . but few dialogues in the film tend to reflect some of the real life incidents in present day politics of tamil nadu . also mentioning of names like \u2018amma\u2019 and pricking indirectly some of the political personalities is more punching and that\u2019s reveals sarath\u2019s notion of passing the ideologies .\npandian argues that film has \u201ccome to provide a language for the social life of kinship and attachment\u201d ( 2008 : 131 ) . certainly , many of these films have been adopted by thevars in southern tamil nadu through posters , symbols , banners and the playing of film songs and dialogue at cultural events . as kaali ( 2000 : 186 ) argues , \u201cidentification with ego - ideals on the screen need not inevitably entail \u2018misrecognitions of self , \u2019 but , in many cases , could involve elements of empowerment\u201d and identity change . the portrayal of thevar violence and valor on screen and their positive reception , serve to embolden thevars and legitimize their use of violence .\nindeed , film historian theodore baskaran ( 1996 : ii ) goes as far as to argue that : \u201ctamil cinema has grown to become the most domineering influence in the cultural and political life in tamil nadu . \u201d film stars have a larger - than - life presence in the real world and female stars have been deified during their active period in the industry . the emergence of cinema in tamil nadu and its subsequent role in nurturing and promoting a dravidian identity and politics have been the focus of several monographs ( see forrester 1976 ; hardgrave 1973 ; pandian 1992 ) . that history , whilst relevant , is not our focus here and so we refer readers to the aforementioned texts .\npurasawalkam is often considered as the signal provider for the entire cinema industry . if there is uncertainty over the release of a film , the opening of advance bookings at abirami mega mall is considered a green signal for the movie\u2019s release . the highly reputed and influential veteran \u2018abirami\u2019 ramanathan is the trade\u2019s powerhouse and all roads lead to him for crucial decisions .\n( love , 2004 ) \u2014a low budget film about a romance between a couple of unspecified castes who are , nevertheless identifiable as a thevar girl and a dalit boy . when the couple is discovered , the girls\u2019 family beat the boy to a pulp . crucially , for our argument , the representations on screen are transposed into the caste politics of everyday tamil nadu :\nwhile the modern state is compromised by electoral politics allowing such hooligans to exercise control over politicians or elected representatives , it is nevertheless capable of producing neutral individuals like saami [ an honest and heroic policeman from the 2003 film of the same name ] in its administration who can annihilate the anti - state bodies and their caste - criminal networks ( 2008 : 142 ) .\nthe power of this common - sense argument is such that it is not just thevar actors , producers and cinematographers who adopt this formula . the commercial success of such films has made them immensely popular , which has a ripple effect that influences the way other films focused on southern tamil nadu are shot . even non - thevar directors like gangai amaran are not immune . his film\nthus , even in the overt condemnation of caste violence , dalits are stripped of their agency and rendered passive recipients . other popular film tropes similarly conspire to relegate dalits to the margins . the emphasis on bull - taming is a case in point , since dalits were historically barred from taking part in such contests and have only begun to enter them since the dalit struggles of the 1990s .\nfollowing caste - based challenges to dravidian politics from intermediate caste groups like the thevars and vanniyars\u2014and their demands for a greater allocation of resources and increased political recognition\u2014the 1990s saw the flourishing of nativist ( a form of social realism ) cinema that openly celebrated and portrayed caste identities and characters . it is only in the 2010s that we see the film industry starting to acknowledge and represent dalit struggles in films such as\nthat the close association between caste and valor is to the fore . when kamal hasan\u2019s character , who has been in singapore for many years , returns to tame a bull as though he has never been away the film suggests that caste is an innate and immutable essence rather than a code of conduct . this maps onto changes in caste composition and practice in which an emphasis on conduct gave way in the early 20\nkamal hassan\u2019s character returns from london with hippie - style long hair but , after the death of his father , he gives up colored clothes , rids himself of his locks and sports a big moustache that marks him out as capable of filling his father\u2019s shoes . critically , in the film , this responsibility should have gone to the elder brother , but his masculinity is at stake due to his alcoholism and lack of valor .\nthe soundtrack composed by a . r . rahman and all lyrics by vaali except\nspiderman\nsong which was written by vairamuthu , was critically well received . in an interview in 2001 , surya earlier stated that deva had composed ten songs for the film , but he was later replaced by rahman . rahman remixed the 1964 hit tamil song\nthottal poo malarum\nfrom the movie\npadagotti\nwith completely modified orchestration , tune and singers .\n, spearheaded by periyar e . v . ramasami naicker and his \u201cself - respect movement , \u201d in many ways had a direct influence in changing the structures of film making and inevitably led to the creation of a distinct tamil cinema that disrupted attempts to construct a sense of a nation through cinema ( leonard 2015 ) . these films departed from the earlier focus on religious and nationalist sentiments and articulated a rationalist critique of social ills . the founder of the\nfurther undermining the anti - caste violence subtext of the film , the movie featured a provocative snippet in which the lead character virumandi is called \u201csandiyar\u201d in one exchange and , when he corrects the character they reply : \u201cyou will always be sandiyar to us . \u201d there was also a song of the same name flying in the face of the compromise agreed to . the launch party was held in madurai as if to reinforce its 3m leanings , and prominently featured\n6 sivappu malli ( red jasmine , rama narayanan , 1981 ) and kann sivanthaal mann sivakkum ( when eyes turn red , the soil too will , sreedhar rajan , 1983 ) are classics of this genre\u2014dealing with labour unrest , feudal landlords and class disputes . the occasional film since that point has addressed similar themes , including aravindhan ( a name , t . nagarajan , 1997 ) and anbe sivam ( love is god , c . sundar , 2003 ) but these are few and far between .\n( love , 2004 ) , for example , he sees a classic expression of the tamil psyche as constituted in tamil cinema ; one which is \u201ctorn between the threatening pre - modern assertion of caste and an allegedly \u2018egalitarian , \u2019 free market space of modern individuals . \u201d in the film a dalit boy who \u201cpresumes\u201d to court a thevar girl is grievously assaulted . taking our cue from krishnan\u2019s work , it is possible to discern how such tropes are reproduced in a range of different films . thus , in\nwhen the film begins , we see muthazhagu , an idealistic youth leader , who doesn ' t hesitate to take on aalavandan , a powerful minister in the state ( nasser ) . the father - son duo whose politics are at polar ends , however , live together . muthazhagu ' s mother and younger sister are his only solace . his older sisters are married to civil servants - - one is an ias officer and the other an ips officer . both civil servants are the real brain behind aalavandan ' s political designs .\nsreenivasan\u2019s \u201cmelodrama story period\u201d was , of course , the period in which the dmk successfully mediated their socio - political message to the public through the medium of film . songs , story - lines , robin - hood style heroes and almost subliminal references to party symbols like the flag and the rising sun , were deployed to present the party as the champion of the downtrodden . some of the \u201cexcess dialogue\u201d took the form of lengthy monologues in which the hero addressed the camera in lectures about socio - political values . as rajadurai and geetha ( 1996 : 572 ) note :\nthe moustache here becomes synonymous with tradition and social power and this knowledge is simultaneously deployed and reinforced in films . the close association between caste standing and facial hair is emphasized in one song where even background photographs of sivaji ganesan ( acclaimed tamil actor ) \u2014who portrays the character of periya thevar\u2014have been altered to sport an upturned moustache to be more in keeping with the thrust of the film . few men , as oldstone - moore ( 2011 ) argues , have groomed themselves in complete ignorance of the social implications and , we would add , still fewer directors shoot films in ignorance of the connotations that their character\u2019s facial hair may have .\nthe film is all about a gripping relational emotions between a father and son who belong to same political party but with different ideas . alavandhar ( nasser ) is a double dealing education minister who wants to become chief minister and with the help of his son - in - laws sathya and ilamaran ( saran raj and ponvannan ) , he starts creating problems within the party to overthrow the rule of present chief minister ( vijay kumar ) . finally the government gets dissolved and alavandhan sets ready contesting for polls and it is at this point of time , his son mutthazhagan ( sarath kumar ) opposes his father and gets to become the home minister .\n) , that archetypal symbol of traditional masculinity , caste pride , and feudalism which is most popular in madurai district . the backward and caste - bound nature of madurai in these films , is reinforced in accounts of the city\u2019s frenetic fans who treat film stars as demigods ( dickey 1993 ) . it was in madurai that fans cut off fingers and limbs and offered them to god when mgr suffered a stroke , praying for his recovery . in his analysis of recent films , krishnan ( 2008 ) shows how madurai is now constructed in the narrative space of tamil cinema as the antithesis of the modern , and a place where people are still ruled by caste , clans , and kinship networks .\n, however , the scene could be read as asserting that only a thevar can uphold the law . in any case , the symbolic submission to the state occurs at a time when thevars were being assiduously courted by both dravidian parties and gaining socio - political influence ( cf . human rights watch 1999 ) . we have dealt with this issue at some length because it has a critical bearing on the third facet of krishnan\u2019s argument about self - fulfilling prophesies . here we would not just agree with his note of caution but argue that this has already happened to a great extent , as he himself notes by referencing the use of thevar film -

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

darbar . neel stays with the darbar family , and chandni is asked to vacate her room to give the guest the nicest room in the mansion . chandni takes a dislike to akash , and the two keep playing pranks on each other , but soon realise they are in love . their love blossoms in the darbar household around weddings , festivals and family get - togethers .\none day the pair are caught rehearsing their wedding vows and dreaming of their future together by pandit darbar , who becomes furious with them as he has already planned chandni ' s wedding with neel ( jisshu sengupta ) . akash is banished from the household as darbar has quit singing because of chandni being impure . as contribution to a teacher , akash is asked never to meet chandni again . akash does not leave india immediately . he stays in town and writes letters to chandni asking her to join him , but his letters do not reach her in time . chandni reluctantly goes through the marriage with neel , who had fallen in love with chandni during her cousin ' s wedding .\non the wedding night , neel realises that chandni is not behaving sane and tries to ask her why she is not responding to his love . he asks her for the truth , promising he will help her no matter what . chandni doesn ' t reply to him which angers him .\nneel soon catches her reading love letters by akash . neel is rudely shattered and drags her back home . at first he is extremely furious because chandni hasn ' t said the truth . since his wife is in love with another man , he shows ultimate love and wisdom by taking chandni to italy , in search of akash , to the initial dislike , but eventual approval of his own parents .\nchandni and neel arrive in italy , but always come up against dead ends , searching for akash . during their search , they face many problems and dilemmas and slowly chandni gets to see what neel really is like . she sees neel selflessly devoting himself to caring for her during her stay in hospital after a gunshot . eventually they get news about akash through his mother , and neel dutifully arranges for their encounter on the night of akash ' s debut concert . his job done , neel bids goodbye to chandni and walks away , a heartbroken man .\nrahul ( jeet ) , the son of a wealthy but traditional industrialist , returned home to his father after completing his academic career in foreign lands . when the father tries to persuade him in his marriage he puts up a fantastic condition - that he will marry the girl of his father\u2019s choice and will live as married couple for one year only , after which , if either of the two seems to feel distant from the other , the marriage will be called off . surprisingly , the traditional father agrees and chooses pallavi ( koel mallick ) , his pa as the most appropriate bride .\nnow pallavi\u2019s family consisted of her widowed mother , an elder sister deprived of her husband , a younger brother not at all competent for any job , and the youngest sister getting pregnant with the boyfriend trying to avoid responsibilities . so pallavi , just to save her family , accepted the contract much against her wishes and thus began a curious way of life with both of the wedlocked couple leading an unreal lifestyle .\nthough both shared the same bed , but rahul seemed to be oddly insensitive to pallavi\u2019s emotions . thus it was not strange that he never cared to celebrate pallavi\u2019s birthday and his scathing remarks while appreciating pallavi\u2019s cooking hurt her feelings and duty seemed the only virtue that kept rahul any closer to his wife . but the artificiality of the story is vividly brought to fore when rahul , after quickly recovering from a comatose condition , chiefly due to pallavi\u2019s sincerest nursing , doesn\u2019t hesitate to declare that the next day is the end of their contract term when he will be willingly divorcing pallavi . well at this point if the audience thought that the story is nearing a tragic completion , it is only the intermission that is declared .\nin the second half we see that the table turns as rahul suddenly feels sympathetic to pallavi and all his passions overwhelms him so much that he rushes to his in - laws\u2019 house and requests pallavi\u2019s return . but no says the director , and the story goes on with pallavi now rejecting all the ardent proposals of rahul , be it him buying all the shares of pallavi\u2019s new struggling organization just to secure for himself the position of pallavi\u2019s boss . surprises seem to be on store for the audience with pallavi conceiving a child ( just imagine that rahul was in comatose for a pretty long time and the day he recovered , the couple separated ) and now rahul , in sympathy arranges for an ac bus for her and shifts her office to the ground floor . now the only thing that remains is revelation and pallavi invites and insults rahul in one of the most improbable of settings with rahul sophisticatedly defending his views .\nfinally after all these , the two again reunites in hospital bed after the severely injured rahul takes pallavi to the maternity ward ( it is clearly indicated in the picture that pallavi was less than seven months pregnant though she suffers serious labour pains and again when the baby was delivered no sign of immaturity is ever observed ) and they celebrate the simultaneous delivery of the child and rahul\u2019s recovery from his critical condition . thus family ties are again restored and the happy ending is guaranteed .\nthe film covers a span of a few days \u2014 beginning before independence day and reaching its climax on d - day itself . anikit ( jeet ) , a talented singer and a simpleton , lands himself in trouble when a stranger takes shelter in his house along with her child . what follows , is a series of lies by anikit and room - mate kobi ( biswanath ) , only to cover up the incident . the actors , who stand out are biswanath , who tries to do an ustad zakir hussain act , in search of his muse , papiya adhikari as the neighbourhood boudi , biswajit chakraborty as mama sen and mimi dutta as hiya ' s ( varsha ) intelligent sister

old role as a villager crushed by a marauding monster . this may also be a sly joke by mr . meily , since ms . koronel , like ms . cuneta , is a major philippine movie star . with a refreshing lack of vanity or pretension , these actresses play their ordinary , hard - luck characters with generosity and grace .\nby the time the day of the burial finally arrives , after a four - day wake , the characters and their complicated relationships have been fully disclosed , setting the scene for a poignant climax . and when guido arrives to take bong away from stella , the moment defies any mother to hold back her tears . nonetheless , crying ladies is a comedy , and true to form , all ' s well that ends well when the outcome of the characters ' lives are revealed in its uplifting epilogue .\nthis being a reality show , there are tears , laughs and plenty of roll - your - eyes moments from some flat - out crazy people . the women move into a house together , which sets things up nicely for jealousy , crying and confrontations .\nthe story revolves around 3 matured women , stella ( sharon cuneta ) , rhoda ( hilda koronel ) and choleng ( angel aquino ) who are in badly need of cash for their family . they would do everything , from crying to funerals to dirty work just to make both ends meet .\n\u201cladies room\u201d is a little too neat and orderly , and a little too fond of explicitly underlining its thematic points , all in that very mad men way the show can sometimes get when it seems to be so eager of making sure we understand every point it\u2019s trying to make . but that\u2019s fine . it doesn\u2019t need to be an all - time great episode of television\u2014or even as good as the pilot . it just needs to be a pretty good second episode , an episode that assures us there\u2019s a television show here , and we\u2019re in good hands all around . on that level , \u201cladies room\u201d more than succeeds , and the technique it uses to do so is one that would serve the show well going forward : mirroring .\ncharged with organizing his father ' s funeral , wilson chua ( eric quizon ) hires three professional mourners with plenty of problems and enough tears to flood manila in this heartwarming comedy . desperate for cash , stella ( sharon cuneta ) is happy to take the weeklong gig crying at the traditional chinese funeral , but the stage is set for disaster when she brings b - movie actress chua ( hilda koronel ) and the adulterous choleng ( angel aquino ) along .\nreally , that\u2019s the story of this episode : the ladies room is the one place that the show\u2019s female cast members can be recognizably themselves , but even when they step inside its comforting confines , they\u2019re not going to find someone to stop their hands from shaking , nor is someone going to undertake the very basic and human action of asking them why they\u2019re crying or if they\u2019re all right . but when they leave the confines of that space to talk to the men in their lives , those men can\u2019t help but see them as \u201cthe dessert , \u201d as peggy puts it . don goes out to dinner with betty , and he simply tells her stupid jokes , like a 12 - year - old boy , and she giggles dutifully , before he goes home and horribly betrays her trust . but when he\u2019s over at midge\u2019s , the woman he sleeps with because he seems to want something more authentic and \u201creal\u201d than whatever he\u2019s built with betty , he also treats her like his property , obviously growing upset and jealous when he wonders how she possibly got herself a tv ( on which she primarily watches people are funny , one of my favorite period details in the episode ) .\nhere\u2019s the thing about narcos season 3 : it can be a tense and exciting cat - and - mouse game that quite literally makes your heart pound . it\u2019s also a near - reboot of the pedro pascal - starring netflix series . gone is drug kingpin pablo escobar ( wagner moura ) , and in his place are escobar\u2019s former competition , the godfathers of the real - life cali cartel , led by the rodriguez brothers . if you\u2019ve noticed anything about the previous three sentences , it\u2019s filled with genius , ambitious , and powerful men \u2014 and they\u2019re all absolutely devoid of women . in narcos season 3 , when women aren\u2019t the objects of pure lust , they\u2019re either crying or screaming in a corner .\nthe third woman to appear in \u201ckingpin\u201d is the one to truly fill narcos \u2019 crying woman trope : maria salazar ( andrea londo ) . maria makes her debut as arm candy to her husband claudio salazar ( carlos camacho ) . maria is made to follow her spouse like his trusty canine companion as opposed to his actual human wife . the beautiful young woman immediately catches the eye of druglord miguel rodriguez ( francisco denis ) . when drug drama ends with the murder of claudio , miguel decides to break the news to maria , since his associates did all the killing . immediately , the newly - minted widow crumples into a basket of tears in an empty restaurant . of course , this emotional display follows an episode of a wide - eyed maria running around cali , near tears , asking if anyone has seen her husband .\nand it\u2019s here that \u201cladies room\u201d subtly tips its hand toward what the whole series is up to , because the character we\u2019re meant to mirror peggy with isn\u2019t joan or even the other young woman in the bathroom . it\u2019s don himself , her boss but also her weird shadow twin for the episode . we saw in the pilot and again here how people are able to project what they want to see on don , even though he resists that sort of thing , and now we see how the same thing happens with peggy . ostensibly , it\u2019s because she\u2019s the \u201cnew girl , \u201d and all of the guys in the office\u2014even sal , who does his very best checking a girl out impersonation\u2014want to look over the fresh meat . but there\u2019s also an element of her keeping herself at arm\u2019s length . she blushes at sex jokes , and she doesn\u2019t let all that much slip about who she actually is to paul when he regales her with stories of the office . she\u2019s staying mysterious , and that more or less sounds like the man she works for .\nbecause let me tell you , that kind of storyline is murder to dramatize in a visual medium . that \u201cladies room\u201d does as good of a job at this as it does is to be commended , even if it over - relies on visual tricks like betty\u2019s shaking hands . ( though to that end , i really like the moment when betty is driving and sees helen bishop the divorcee moving into her new home , and that triggers her hands shaking . ) whenever fans of the show complain about betty in the later seasons\u2014something i\u2019ve done many a time\u2014i want to remind them to go back and watch these episodes , to remember the way that the show introduced her and all of the things that don was doing to damage her , sometimes intentionally and sometimes just because he wouldn\u2019t have had a second thought that what he was doing could hurt her . yes , betty\u2019s storyline doesn\u2019t always intersect with the action at sterling cooper , but that\u2019s by design . this is a series about how the main character has segmented his life , and in betty , we\u2019re already seeing the most potent consequences of keeping someone who should be the love of your life out on an island , then turning to other people\u2014like midge\u2014for the things you actually want . don draper is a man obsessed with images , and this might be his norman rockwell .\nmy favorite shot of the episode involves young secretary peggy , walking into the bathroom to freshen up , another young woman crying off in the corner . the mirrors in the bathroom are situated so that we can see the woman in the mirror on the wall perpendicular to peggy , but we can\u2019t actually see her , nor can we see peggy reflected in the same mirror . instead , we see peggy looking directly into the mirror over the sink . though she casts a glance toward the other woman when she enters the room , for all intents and purposes , the two might as well be in entirely different worlds , an effect director alan taylor accomplishes through that careful segmentation using the mirrors . but he\u2019s also setting an agenda for the series\u2019 most important female character going forward : the place to look when we\u2019re looking for peggy\u2019s motivations isn\u2019t in the sorts of places we might expect , in romance plots and in stories where she comforts sad girlfriends . the other woman\u2019s problem goes unresolved . indeed , we never find out what it is . peggy is in her own little box , reflecting back at herself . when we want to know what\u2019s driving peggy , it\u2019s best not to look at the story around her but at the woman herself , who\u2019s almost as opaque at times as the main character .\nbrendan connell , jr . appointed chief operating officer of the academy museum of motion pictures\nthe academy\u2019s board of governors awards an oscar\u00ae to alejandro g . i\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s \u201ccarne y arena\u201d virtual reality installation\nthe academy continues residency at the metrograph theater in new york with \u201cthe ballad of gregorio cortez\u201d and tribute to george a . romero\nacademy rescinds sound mixing nomination for greg p . russell on \u201c13 hours : the secret soldiers of benghazi\u201d\njennifer aniston , jason bateman , warren beatty , sofia boutella , matt damon , faye dunaway , michael j . fox , ryan gosling , salma hayek , taraji p . henson , dev patel , seth rogen , octavia spencer , meryl streep and vince vaughn announced as presenters\nhalle berry , jamie dornan , chris evans , gael garc\u00eda bernal , samuel l . jackson , scarlett johansson , dakota johnson , kate mckinnon , shirley maclaine , hailee steinfeld will be presenters on oscars\u00ae stage\njackie chan , anne v . coates , lynn stalmaster and frederick wiseman to receive academy\u2019s 2016 governors awards\noscar winners morgan freeman and john legend added as presenters along with j . j . abrams , sacha baron cohen and henry cavill dave grohl will give a special performance\nkathy baker , o\u2019shea jackson jr . , freida pinto and jimmy smits to perform at academy nicholl fellowships live read\nkristen bell and michael b . jordan to host academy ' s sci - tech awards\nlacma and the academy co - present a major u . s . exhibition highlighting the prolific career of mexican cinematographer gabriel figueroa\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nare you ready for skyscraper ?

yes no | report this\nwashington chua is dead , of cardiac arrest in his sleep , and his son wilson ( eric quizon ) suddenly finds himself in charge of planning a traditional chinese funeral for his father , complete with professional wailers to help ease his passage into the afterlife . according to traditional beliefs , if the deceased has many mourners openly expressing their grief at the funeral , then it is assumed that the deceased must have been a worthy person and will be welcomed into a heavenly afterlife . unfortunately in the city of manila , the number of chinese families in need of professional funeral criers is dwindling , and there are few if any left . nonetheless , wilson chua is determined to provide his father with a top - notch send off , and he seeks until he finds stella mate ( sharon cuneta ) , the last of her kind .\nstella is a woman of questionable morals and integrity , and has just been released from a year - long prison sentence , during which she lost custody of her son bong to her ex - husband guido and his new wife cecille . but at a\nrecognition day\nceremony , in which bong received a medal for academic achievement , guido agrees to allow stella to have bong for three weeks , until time for the family to transfer to the remote city of cagayan de oro for cecille ' s job .\nearly on , it is revealed that stella had been sent to prison for\nestafa\n, which is spanish for fraud or swindling , and it isn ' t long before she ' s up to her old tricks again . not a day goes by that she doesn ' t swindle the bus driver for her fare , and in one scene , also on the city bus , she poses as a labor union protester collecting donations , which go right into her own pocket . she does , however , work for an honest wage at a shop that sells chinese funeral accessories , which is where wilson chua first meets her . and although stella isn ' t technically a professional crier , her mother once was , so stella knows the trade , and wilson engages her services at 500 pesos a day for a five - day service . wilson also asks stella to recruit the services of two more criers . so stella goes in search of her two best friends , choleng , and ailing .\ncholeng is a beautiful young single woman who is having an affair with her friend myra ' s husband ipe . and each week , she goes to church to confess the same sins . as her penance , the priest who hears her confessions has assigned her to perform an act of charity . ailing doray ( hilda koronel ) , aka rhoda rivera , is a has - been film star whose only claim to fame was her appearance in a horror film called darna and the giants , in which she played a bit part as a fleeing villager who is trampled by a menacing giant . yet , so memorable was her performance that total strangers still recognize her years later .\nin the hours that stella isn ' t wailing for money , she spends every precious moment with her son bong , and even drags him along as she goes to an audition for a singing gig , to line up for a game show called cash or stash , and to the radio station to collect her 1 , 000 peso prize for correctly singing a jingle in a phone - in contest . stella spoils bong as best she can on her meager salary , and they spend their evenings at stella ' s squalid apartment , singing along with her karaoke machine .\nthingsasian is an asia travel website with stories contributed by a worldwide community . although we cover a wide range of topics , our emphasis is on art , culture , history and travel . our writers , photographers and contributors are real people who tell you the stories of their personal travels and experiences . some of the countries we currently cover are burma , cambodia , china , hong kong , indonesia , japan , laos , macau , malaysia , singapore , thailand and vietnam .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\naccording to the movie , the chinese practice of employing women to wail for the dead , once common , is on the wane , but the chua family nonetheless insists on a traditional send - off for its patriarch , a philanderer and possible gangster named washington . his son , wilson ( eric quizon ) , hires stella ( sharon cuneta ) , a sometime petty thief who has lost custody of her young son after serving a year in prison , as a crier .\nstella , a second - generation crier , recruits two of her friends : choleng ( angel aquino ) , a pious roman catholic who is nonetheless having a guilty affair with another woman ' s husband , and aling ( hilda koronel ) , a shopkeeper who clings to the fading memory of her movie career , whose high point was a bit part in a picture called ' ' darna and the giants .

we never even see a \u201cchange of heart\u201d from maria . all she does is rub miguel\u2019s gray - haired chest and assure him , \u201cit\u2019s good to be here . \u201d\nthe other woman forced to go along with the whims of whatever man is closest in proximity to her is paola salcedo ( taliana vargas ) , the long suffering wife of cali cartel security chief jorge ( matias varela ) . when we first meet paola she has tears in her eyes over the fact her husband won\u2019t leave the drug business , as they had planned , for at least six more months . the next few times we see her , paola\u2019s sad eyes stare at jorge , assuring him either she doesn\u2019t need a mansion or understands why he protects bloodthirsty criminals . at least after all the stress jorge puts paola through , ( spoiler alert ) he\u2019s the one who\u2019s sobbing at her feet by the time the season is up .\nthe only woman who isn\u2019t a teary , sad mess throughout narcos season 3 is carolina alvarez ( margarita rosa de francisco ) a journalist who is hot on the trail of the cali cartel . we never see carolina even come close to shedding a tear over the men around her . in fact , she\u2019s usually the one manipulating them into doing what she wants . when carolina is introduced , she\u2019s smart enough to try to get a police officer to spill a story over an alleged gas leak \u2014 which was actually a rodriguez scheme gone awry \u2014 by questioning whether she should smoke in the area . if the incident truly was natural , lighting up would be the most dangerous option possible . soon enough , we also see carolina working with pe\u00f1a , and she\u2019s the one asking the tough questions .\nyes , the real life story of narcos was filled to the brim with men , not women . such was life in both the drug and federal agency business during the early 1990s . if the series wants to tell a true ( ish ) - to - life story , they need to at least attempt to stay close to the actual facts of the dea\u2019s investigation of the cali cartel . but , the scenes with pe\u00f1a and carolina have a level of tension and spark to them that the interactions featuring the other , usually very sad , women are sorely lacking . i\u2019m not saying narcos needs to invent women simply for the sake of having women on camera , but would it be so hard to give the women the series does need a character trait other than \u201cneeds a tissue and a better man ?

\u201d the episode makes much of his unwillingness to talk about his past , drawing a sharp line between roger , who talks easily of his nanny as a child , and the main character . he\u2019s saving up those experiences for the novel he\u2019s planning to write someday , after all . it wouldn\u2019t be good to go around giving them away for free . don is still the teflon man , his dazzling exterior allowing nothing to get stuck , and he takes both betty\u2019s unhappiness and midge throwing a television out a window in stride . the episode might as well come equipped with a brass band marching down the street , carrying a banner reading , \u201cthis man keeps secrets from everyone he meets . \u201d\nthe other important mirror for don is betty , who\u2019s suffering through a bout of unhappiness that seems much more like depression , given how unmotivated it seems to be . ( don\u2019s idea of psychotherapy is to tell her about all of the great stuff she has , then smile winningly . it\u2019s a credit to jon hamm that this seems like a vaguely possible remedy for what ails her . ) betty explicitly asks herself\u2014and by extension us\u2014who her husband is , and when she tries to ask him questions about his childhood , he rebuffs her not a little coldly . he says that talking about childhood is like talking about politics and religion , which sounds just as bizarre as you\u2019d think it does . yet when betty goes in to see a psychiatrist and start trying to talk out just what\u2019s on her mind in the wake of the minor car accident she\u2019s in , she doesn\u2019t know that don is calling said psychiatrist to find out what his wife told the doctor . don is the man betty can never know ; at the same time , he\u2019s learning all of her most intimate secrets .\nagain , it\u2019s all a little neat , in a way that mad men will get from time to time . but it\u2019s also kind of mesmerizing . even those who\u2019ve never seen mad men will be aware that fans get frustrated with betty from time to time , because her storylines often seem to intersect with the main storyline only haphazardly . and to be sure , in this episode , it\u2019s frustrating to watch the beginning of this story and feel as if every beat of it is mapped out right in front of you . this is going to be a rough story of second wave feminism , it would seem , and it\u2019s going to feature betty\u2019s life intersecting with another betty , the author of the feminine mystique , betty friedan .\nthis is one of those places where it will be complicated for someone like me who\u2019s seen the whole show to discuss something like this , because so much of what\u2019s disappointing about this storyline in this episode hinges on the imagined storyline to come , the one we think we already know and the one that seems the most blatantly like something stolen from that terrible nbc miniseries the \u201860s . of course , mad men is still teaching us how to watch it at this point in its run , and it\u2019s much more interested in making sure we\u2019re following what it\u2019s doing with don and peggy at this point than betty . to that end , playing off well - worn tropes and types in this particular storyline isn\u2019t such a bad idea , because it keeps us more or less in tune with a story that amounts to \u201ca woman realizes she isn\u2019t as happy as she thinks she should be . \u201d\nbut what i also like\u2014even trying to view this as someone who\u2019s never seen the show before\u2014is how formless betty\u2019s depression seems , even to her . watch that scene with her in the psychiatrist\u2019s office , and the primary emotion one reads coming off of betty is disappointment . nobody wants to be depressed , but betty seems at once upset by having this settling over her and upset by how prosaic and ordinary it is . if she\u2019s going to come apart at the seams , everybody expects her to have both better symptoms and better reasons for doing so , and the number of people expecting that includes betty . january jones was the great unknown about this show heading into the second episode , since she mostly had to look pretty in the first one , but she more than manages the feat of making betty at once sympathetic and oddly unknowable . mad men \u2019s favorite trick is to reveal a character\u2019s surface , then immediately see what happens once it starts to unravel , and jones keys into that straight off .\nanother thing we\u2019re getting a glimpse at here is the way that the show uses don to ask big questions that are supposed to prompt big answers\u2014here , it\u2019s \u201cwhat do women want ? \u201d\u2014and then uses those questions both to interrogate the time period and ultimately deflect them with the sorts of easy bullshit an adman might come up with on the fly . the characters at sterling cooper don\u2019t particularly care about what a woman might want . it\u2019s more a chance to toss out some easy jokes , but when don talks about it with the rest of his creative team , he seems the most open and honest he is all episode . he\u2019s obviously talking about how he can\u2019t understand how to make betty feel happier , and it\u2019s the one place where he doesn\u2019t try to solve this problem through placating her . but when he finally comes up with what women want at midge\u2019s apartment , it\u2019s more easy ad slogans . what they want is to pull closer to their man , not anything more emotional or elaborate than that . it\u2019s manipulative bullshit , plain and simple , and it\u2019s not clear to what extent he knows that .\ni said last week that the hidden story of mad men is one of privilege , of the main characters realizing that the unassailable world of plenty they live in isn\u2019t going to last forever because other people might start to demand their own opportunities , their own pursuits of happiness . the show is already using this knowledge against us , because we live in the 21st century and understand what \u201cthe \u201860s\u201d are going to bring ( mostly opportunities for terrible nbc miniseries ) . that\u2019s part of why the betty storyline in this episode can feel a little weak ; we know what\u2019s coming for this character and don\u2019t know how closely the show is going to follow that particular story beat for beat . but watch peggy or don in this episode , or watch paul make his awkward pass at peggy , and you see another story bubbling under the surface , a story about how before women could demand equal pay or equal rights , they had to demand to be seen as people , too .\nthis episode shows us the first appearance of bertram cooper , played by robert morse , in a great bit of stunt casting ( he was the kid in how to succeed in business without really trying , which is an obvious influence on this show ) . right now , though , he mostly seems irritated by the way that roger sterling has instilled a bit of a navy attitude amongst the men , when he walks in on them forcibly spraying right guard in ken cosgrove\u2019s armpits .\nanother first appearance : the sally draper we know and love , played by kiernan shipka . the bit where she\u2019s running around in the plastic dry - cleaning bag is one of the show\u2019s biggest \u201chey , people sure were different in 1960 ! \u201d moments , but i don\u2019t mind it as much as some of the others , because the visual is so great . still , the moment when jones holds the pause between calling sally over to her and making sure she didn\u2019t mess up the dry cleaning ( instead of making her take off the bag ) leans a little too heavily on making the audience feel superior to the characters in the past .

second installment of his hit film chandrakala . titled kalavathi , this film has trisha , hansika and siddharth as the main leads and has hit the screens today . let\u2019s see how it turns out to be .\n' kalavathi ' is a case of the genre overtaking the story . in his attempt to make a horror - comedy , sundar c is too faithful to a fault ! that said , the film has its moments , especially the heart - wrenching flashback .\nsundar ` s horror comedy aranmanai was a huge hit in tamil nadu and did fairly well in telugu as chandrakala . now he comes up with a sequel to it . in tamil it was titled aranmanai 2 but in telugu makers have gone for a new name , kalavathi . sundar tries to sell this off as a new film with new premise , but nothing has changed except for few actors and the packaging .\nthe makers of kalavathi have stayed true to the genre and did not experiment much . they have played it safe and added enough elements which will entertain everyone . the film lacks novelty and also does not have any spine chilling moments . however , a decent second half filled with enough mas elements makes things work . finally , if you manage to sit through the very ordinary first half , you can easily enjoy this decent suspense thriller .\nkalavathi is a folk tale about a dispute between two goddesses , lakshmi and saraswathi . who is superior \u2014 the goddess of wealth or learning ? to find out , the two pick an illiterate and stupid farmer ( durairaj ) and begin trying their powers on him . while tilling the land , the farmer finds blocks of gold about which he knows nothing and throws them back into the field ! now , saraswathi bestows on him the knowledge to recognise gold and he begins to collect gold every day . an evil minister ( sahadevan ) who watches him throwing the gold blocks takes him to his kingdom to exploit his powers . the princess ( jayalakshmi ) falls in love with him , but the minister lusts after her . knowing his rare powers , the king makes him sit on the throne and the evil genius tries his best to exploit him . kalavathi is shocked by her lover being stupid and clever by turns ! however , the problems are solved and the couple is blessed with both riches and intelligence !\nbefore the madurai bench of madras high court dated : 19 . 10 . 2016 coram the honourable mr . justice v . bharathidasan writ petition ( md ) no

siddharth looks jaded and trapped in an arena demanding him to be more pro - active . hansika\u2019s screen presence strikes the right chord while khushboo\u2019s song appearance ( she\u2019s also produced the tamil version ) is indulgence over necessity . it\u2019s high time sundar c realises that his strength lies behind the camera . kalavathi is strictly for horror - film lovers , and

there\u2019s hardly any life in the frames . the styling is neat though it\u2019s a wasted backdrop . sai karthik\u2019s background score is one of the better aspects of nayaki despite him playing to the book . widely marketed as a trisha starrer , it\u2019s sushma raj and sathyam rajesh who get meatier parts . trisha\u2019s role is similar to what hansika had to offer in kalavathi and chandrakala . the actress , beyond wearing costumes that depict old - world charm , has no bite to her role . the song \u2018bhayam\u2019 sung by her , during the credits portions comes as a minor relief . brahmanandam makes a small appearance too , but is too late to undo damage . poonam and nara rohith make interesting blink - and - a - miss appearances . it\u2019s the lack of a clear mind and a haywire screenplay that hurts nayaki more than anything else .\nt . s . durairaj , t . a . jayalakshmi , e . r . sahadevan , c . t . rajakantham , sriram , k . s . rajam , k . s . chandra and m . k . madhavan\nt . s . durairaj was a talented comedian of tamil cinema , who , however , did not receive the recognition he richly deserved . the main reason was he was a contemporary of master comedian n . s . krishnan with whom he was often teamed , the most famous film being ellis . r . dungan ' s sakunthalai . it was only after the temporary absence of nsk from the industry following the lakshmikantham murder case that durairaj came into his own in films such as meera . at first , nsk and his wife mathuram along with durairaj were cast in meera . but after the sensational case , nsk was in prison for 30 long months . with the couple dropped from the film , durairaj got to play the main comedy role in meera .\nwritten by sundara vathiyar and chidambaram natarajan , this film was

expect , retains the core of chandrakala . you\u2019re introduced to a haunted house in a village where a scary series of occurrences unveil the dark - past of a ghost and its need to avenge the culprits . the first hour has a reasonably haunting introductory sketch for a genre such as this , which later makes way for a yawn - inducing comedy triangle between soori , kovai sarala and poonam . the horror element is relatively controlled here , in comparison to what greets you later . despite the dollop of clich\u00e9s , you expect a better second hour . you\u2019re partially right .\napart from a nerveless flashback featuring keshav and hansika , the characters and their quirks start growing on you . the director sundar c is in better form over the actor sundar c , who also enacts the role of a detective - at - heart photographer , making the most of his comedy roots . the sequences of the family outing in a van , kovai sarala\u2019s reactions , unaware of the ghost\u2019s true identity , soori complementing it ably , work like a dream .\nhowever , this only ensures a melodramatic culmination , a loud background score making matters worse , with a thread surrounding a temple , durga idol and long - bearded swamijis giving advice in malayalam . the inherent tamil flavour\u2019s a deterrent , cinematography\u2019s a disaster at most instances - a tv soap would fare better in comparison - , there are logical loopholes all around , the music\u2019s a real farce and yet the bigger folly seems the juiceless script . if you\u2019d be forced to label anything marginally innovative here , it\u2019s the insertion of spy - cameras to catch hold of the ghost .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\ni

anita\u2019s bother ( sundar c ) enters the scene and takes things in control . he installs cameras all over the bungalow and records every thing whats going on . after a terrible incident involving murali\u2019s brother , everyone decides to look at the recorded footage .\none of the biggest plus points of the film is that director sundar has cleverly played it to the galleries . he has added enough comedy , thrill and intense moments which elevate the film well .\ntrisha looks gorgeous and is superb in her role . the way she has performed in the horror episodes is pretty good . while she impressed with her beauty in the first half , she gets scary during the second .\nhansika is the heart and soul of the franchise and has done her job well . even though she has limited screen space , she causes good effect to the proceedings with her emotional avatar .\nkovai sarala\u2019s comedy elevates the second half to a decent level . all her scenes with comedian suri evoke good laughs . siddharth plays his supporting role well and goes with the flow of the film . second half is a major plus as the tempo of the film raises big time .\nfirst half of the film is a huge drawback . the film has traces of chandrakala as the look , thrills and performances instantly remind you of that film . the makers could have removed at least two songs to make the film a bit breezy . there is nothing much new or interesting that is happening during the first half .\nwhat\u2019s more frustrating is that sundar c had a lot of scope to scare the audience but he did not make proper use of it . all the thrills , comedy and family emotions that are shown during the first half are routine . there are certain logics which have been overlooked and they are clearly visible .\nvisual effects of the film are pretty good and create a good impact on the audience . music by hip hop thamiza is below par as none of the songs register . background score is good during the climax but is below average for rest of the film . editing is ok and so were the dialogues . camera work is impressive as all the thrills were captured effectively .\ncoming to the director sundar c , he has done a pretty decent job . he has made sure that there is enough glamour , thrill and comedy and does not go overboard with the proceedings . had he narrated the first half with enough emotions and some interesting horror elements , the effect would have been far better .\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nsiddarth , hansika motwani , trisha , poonam

, the horror element makes its entry , scaring the daylights out of the zamindar ( played by radha ravi ) . he is hospitalized and in come his son siddharth and his fiance trisha . the mysterious happenings in the palatial house confound sid and he eventually is taken into custody for a crime he did not do . enter sundar c , trisha ' s brother , at the behest of sid to crack the mystery . apparently , the family is haunted . the rest of the film is about why kala is seething with rage and how she is tamed .\na done - to - death story line yes , but it could have been evolved into an entirely different film . the flashback presents an interesting plot , a strong emotional core . it should have been siddharth getting a lion ' s share in averting the existential threat and the character of sundar could have been totally avoided . the element of brother - sister sentiment should have been leveraged fully rather than resorting to the same old formula of ' mantriks ' deployed for the sake of the climax ! that sid ' s fiance becomes an instrument could have made this an even more interesting proposition .\nnevertheless , the second half is fairly interesting . hansika motwani walks away with honours . she is very realistic in her performance for the time that she is there . the next big stars have to be kovai sarala , soori , and manobala . except for soori , the other two hold good appeal for the telugu audience . the comedy track gets meaty in the second half because it is here that the spirit is engaged with the quirky characters !\none feels greater amount of attention could have been given to the sid - trisha pairing . the chemistry is sketchy and one has to do with a half - hearted number that comes immediately after a scare show .\npoonam bajwa ' s presence is a plus and her characterization reminds one of nayanatara ' s from ' chandramukhi ' . subbu panchu ' s character is another surprise .\nsundar c ' s audience look up to him as a director who gets quirky characters on board in telling a serious - minded story . the series of spine chilling murders and scary images that torment the inmates were more imaginative in ' chandrakala ' and such elements do not go the whole hog here . with the visuals not being first - rate , one waits for a good dose of emotional coaster , only to be left in the lurch .\na huge palace , a couple of glamorous ladies , an unusual family - they are all there . as for the palace , the art work and the cinematography could have been better ; sometimes , some scenes seem to have been shot at the same place within the building ! a not - so - evil spirited mindset of chandrakala has been transformed into an unforgiving one here .\nas for the performances , most of them pass the muster , barring hansika and kovai sarala who are on a higher pedeastal . siddharth is a capable actor who is too understated to the point of coming across as deadpan . after a heart - searing flashback , all that he does is emote like a boy friend who just had a tiff with his girl friend ! trisha has some moments with the comedienne . poonam is to be watched out for . soori is no santhanam , but he is okay .\nthe technical departments could have been better . hiphop tamizha ' s music could have been less loud to suit the telugu nativity better . senthil kumar ' s cinematography passes muster , but the lighting is not flawless . the run - time is alright !\nverdict : a horror - comedy with its share of light - veined moments , a good flashback , and a fairly engaging second half .\nsome parts of this page

execution .\nnayaki is another horror comedy hitting screens this weekend but the only thing original about it is its title . it\u2019s a film by a one - film old director govi who\u2019s at a loss of ideas in executing the plot that sounds interesting on paper . despite capable actors at the helm , from trisha to ganesh venkatraman to sathyam rajesh and jayaprakash , all he gives them are poorly etched characters that can\u2019t lift an indifferent execution .\nthe film\u2019s set largely in a haunted house in a deserted area of dundigal . a series of circumstances brings a young unmarried couple , played by satyam rajesh and sushma raj , to a palatial house . here they discover unheard truths about the place , including the presence of a female ghost and her father who uncompromisingly rip apart men who cheat on women . there\u2019s a painful drag of a backstory on display , followed by a predictable climactic stretch where the ghost\u2019s quest is fulfilled , but not the viewer\u2019s .\nit isn\u2019t a hard bargain to expect more comedy than horror in such a backdrop . and , here there are opportunities aplenty to create an interesting mix . the ideas of the ghost being visible only on a camera , her mood changing every friday just because she\u2019s an aspirant heroine all sound nice . what you get though are a bunch of scenes full of over - stretched ideas .

charmer of a husband and liam neeson as a noble doctor supervising a food - aid distribution project . mr . neeson , who deserves better roles than this one , figures in a final scene that is a true howler , for viewers who can last that long .\nyou could say luis bu\u00f1uel cast deneuve as some kind of\npotiche\nas s\u00e9verine in belle de jour in 1967 and it has been impossible ever since for the male viewer to look at this prolific actress as anything other than a symbol of female potency , even as a sort of erotic threat . ozon is surely trading on this iconography for a film that is a blend of boulevard farce , 1970s sex comedy and political satire . deneuve responds to the challenge magnificently and with a glint of mischief .\nget your company logo as our sponsor in the opening titles of the movie in all editions : international festival release , dvd , vod streamed and digital download . plus our company sponsor vip package , including : company name included in our press kit , featured on our poster , as a click through logo on our website , featured in social media and all general marketing materials . invite to our exclusive private screening in melbourne . plus your own copy of the deluxe dvd with bonus kickstarter extras and a digital download of the film .\nms . macdowell is the only participant who is actually shown off to good advantage . in the midst of this nutty story , she manages to seem eminently gentle and sensible , offering some kind of reassurance that the film will not get too far off its tracks . even when it does , moving beyond the point where she or anyone else could make it palatable , ms . macdowell manages to remain a soothing presence . she looks great when going native for her sojourn in cairo , and she has the good sense never to ask how or why she got there .\nthere were glimpses of something interesting and different in this . the beginning sequence sets up a lot of intrigue , and when it is repeated and slightly modified later in the film it was exciting . the main character ' s confusion of reality versus dream was a good setup . unfortunately , terrible acting and dialogue , combined with no new substance in the cult / supernatural thriller genre knocked it into boring territory . even when everything hits the fan in the final act , i found myself yawning and wondering when this would end , probably because i was not invested in any of the characters and didn ' t care if they made it out or not .\ndeneuve ' s suzanne takes over the running of the umbrella factory while robert recovers from the trauma of kidnap , bringing to mind the umbrellas of cherbourg , the 1964 jacques demy musical in which a young deneuve worked in her mother ' s umbrella boutique . however , i think this parallel is , if not entirely accidental , then at least incidental . as it opens up , ozon ' s film allows deneuve ' s suzanne to grow into a heroine . we take her seriously even as the comedy revs into farce , and her eventual progress from factory into politics gives the third act a resonance one would have thought far beyond its reach from those kitsch beginnings .\nurltoken no longer supports internet explorer 9 or earlier . please upgrade your browser .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\naccessibility concerns ? email us at accessibility @ urltoken . we would love to hear from you .\nwe are raising funds for post -

directors isabel peppard and josie hess first met in 2013 at a punk gig in inner city melbourne . isabel had just directed a successful short animation \u2018butterflies\u2019 and josie was working at monster pictures and just beginning her career in erotica . over beers and rants about pop culture , a friendship was born and the two began collaborating on a series of projects almost immediately .\ninitially , it was only going to be a short documentary , but as the story and character progressed in unexpected ways , it grew into an intense feature - length character study , which led the team from the suburbs of rural victoria to the bdsm clubs of berlin and beyond .\nwe are a mixture of filmmakers , documentarians and artists ( and one pornographer ) each with extensive experience in our fields .\nwe want to remain independent and retain control over this story so that we don ' t have to hold back any aspects , or be told to tone it down . we want to show morgana in all her glory . funds will be used for post -

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

remade as scheming schemers in 1956 .\ni get that the title is a play on the title of an old rudy vallee song / movie , both of which might have been familiar then but now are almost completely forgotten , but i also daresay that this title didn ' t make any sense even when the short was new , seeing as how the stooges here are neither vagabonds nor loafers . idiots , yes , vagabond loafers , no . that being the case , might i suggest a renaming contest , like we had with an ache in every stake , a title which also made no sense , and which got delightfully renamed the iceman dumbeth . maybe we can strike comedy gold again . have at it , you intelligent imbeciles . me , i got nothing .\nvagabond dark khaki and black slip - on shoes size 5 uk / 38 eu . new , unworn , no original box . elasticated substantial textile uppers ; textile lining ; wide black elasticated strap across instep . 1\nat heel .\na plumbing we will go was filmed on december 13 - 18 , 1939 . it was the last stooge short filmed in the 1930s . it was a remake of sidney & murray ' s 1934 , short plumbing for gold and would be remade again with el brendel and shemp howard as pick a peck of plumbers in 1944 . the stooges remade a plumbing we will go as vagabond loafers and scheming schemers using stock footage . interestingly , the original story in plumbing for gold involved searching for a lost ring which the stooges did not use until scheming schemers .\ni take a very bizarre approach to this dilemma . . . i love a plumbing we will go . there is no doubt in my mind that plumbing is better than vagabond loafers . but i try to analyze each short for what it is as an individual , not in comparison to shorts with a similar plot or to the original in the case of the later shemp shorts . it ' s the fair way , and too many people say shorts like for criming out loud are bad because they are comparing to the original who done it ? ' s of the world . think of this when we get to that point .\nthis video is definitly worth the money because it contains three of the best shorts from the shemp howard era . the first short , ' vagabond loafers ' , is about the stooges work as\nthe day and night plumbers\nat a fancy party and try to stop a painting theft . the second short on this video , ' pest man wins ' , is about the stooges work as exterminators who get a job by planting mice , moths , etc . at a fancy custard party . the third short , ' three dark horses ' , is about the stooges who work for a campain manager . a must have for stooge fans !\nthese particular shorts may not be as well known as other stooge comedies , even though two of these titles have familiar plots that were often used by the team . vagabond loafers has the stooges as plumbers who run afoul of art thieves in a mansion . in pest man wins they invade another mansion , this time as exterminators who bring their own pests . this one ends in a pie fight that will be recognized instantly by stooge fans ( this is shemp ' s only pie battle ) . three dark horses has a topical twist , with the stooges as delegates at a political convention . between the novelty of these seldom - seen titles and the cast ' s familiar antics , there ' s a good hour of fun here for stooge fans .\nthe three stooges has always been some of the many actors that i have loved . i love just about every one of the shorts that they have made . i love all six of the stooges ( curly , shemp , moe , larry , joe , and curly joe ) ! all of the shorts are hilarious and also star many other great actors and actresses which a lot of them was in many of the shorts ! in my opinion the three stooges is some of the greatest actors ever and is the all time funniest comedy team ! vagabond loafers is a funny three stooges short with shemp ! there is another short with alternate scenes called scheming schemers . christine mcintyre and kenneth macdonald are really neat a couple . they were also a couple in the two shorts with alternates scenes called crime on their hands and hot ice ! symona boniface , emil sitka , dudley dickerson , and herbert evans also appear in this short ! this is great short with shemp !\nbrand new in box , never been worn or tried on , in perfect condition . selling as an unwanted gift . white leather ballet shoes by ' vagabond ' shoemakers . size eu40 , uk7 . * new group dolores offers a fierce and futuristic take on the ballerina flat . the square shaped toe , the v - cut , the soft heel counter ( meaning it can double as a mule ) and the white leather upper . *\nanother prime shemp short , at least equal to a - plumbing we will go . one improvement was in starting the plumbing gags much sooner than in the curly original . the ending was also an improvement and i liked the addition to the plot of art thieves mcintyre and macdonald . however , it does have one of the worst titles . the boys are neither vagabonds ( they ' re small businessmen , not bums ) nor loafers ( they work very hard for the most part in this short - incompetence and stupidity are their vices , not laziness ) .\nvagabond edie ballerina black / white dots wedge pumps shoes uk5 ( eur38 ) used and shows signs of wear , but overall still in good condition \u2013 please refer to photos attached . pre - loved and well cared for from smoke and pet free home . please pay within 5 days from winning the auction , i am sending all my parcels using 2nd class ' signed for ' service ( this is due to previous parcels being lost ) . ask me if you have any questions . thanks for looking ! happy buying ! please check my other items .\nvagabond edie ballerina black / white dots wedge pumps shoes uk5 ( eur38 ) used and shows slight signs of wear , but overall in very good condition \u2013 please refer to photos attached . pre - loved and well cared for from smoke and pet free home . please pay within 5 days from winning the auction , i am sending all my parcels using 2nd class ' signed for ' service ( this is due to previous parcels being lost ) . ask me if you have any questions . thanks for looking ! happy buying ! please check my other items .\ni ' ll tell you what they were thinking . . . shemp is excellent and it ' s a funny story . i can ' t give any real detailed review because those chiselers at amc aren ' t playing it . ( haven ' t seen it since i was a kid ) but i do remember liking it . yes ,\na - plumbing . .\nis the best , but i like seeing christine mcintyre and the rest of the shemp - era supporting cast . they were great too and christine was one of the greatest comedic actresses of all time . plus , it has the stolen painting bit which was , in my memory , enough of a differance from the original to make it seem new within a re - make . but again , i haven ' t seen it in a long time , so maybe it ' s not as good as i remember . i love amc for playing these shorts unedited , but they ' ve got to play the majority of the rest . at least the good ones like\nscrambled brains\n,\nthey stooge to conga\n,\nhula - la - la\netc . . . and i ' d like to see\nvagabond loafers\ntoo . so i can determine , after all these years wheather this is just a lame remake or if it ' s the enjoyable short i remember . hey , it ' s got shemp in it . so in my book , it ' s got a good chance !

- look and clang ! on the head .\nalthough this is a remake of the excellent a plumbing we will go and it ' s usually a bad idea to do a remake of a classic short , this remake is still great in its own right . some of the reused gags work fine in this , although i didn ' t like seeing shemp re - do the maze of pipes routine . it just wasn ' t as funny without curly . but that ' s my only complaint about this . the painting stealers was also a nice and creative addition to the plot . this also has an excellent all - star supporting cast ( which is so big , that in the opening credits , they had to list all the supporting actors on a seperate title card as opposed under the title of the short like they usually do ! ) .\ni got this short on the merry mavericks dvd . i love this short , this is an absolute classic . i know it is a remake , but shemp does a great job in this one . it may not be as good as the original , but in my opinion it is close . this is an episode i ' ve been looking for for a while , so i am glad i got it ! recomend it to everyone , 4 pokes !\na great remake , but moe ' s temper seems to be in check , he should ' ve twisted shemp ' s nose with a wrench for making that hole ! still a great remake with an excellent plot alteration . i agree with metaldams that this had the opportunity to be a bomb , but ed bernds did a great job . . . again !

) shemp traps himself in a cage built from the water pipes , exactly like curly did in the original . never would have expected that . nor would i have expected to see the footage of the cook from the original , and larry digging in the yard , lifted whole from the earlier short film . everything moves along too quickly here , everything seems rushed to its predictable conclusion . the theft of a valuable painting has been added as a subplot to pad out the run time . mistaken identities ensue , but it all just ends up distracting and over - complicating what was originally a quite funny , simple story . emil sitka has the funniest line ,\nshort circuit , no doubt !\nmoe , to larry :\nwhat do you charge to haunt a house ?\nlarry :\nhow many rooms ?\nthe original\na plumbing we will go\nfrom 1940 is far better .\nthis short , as with a lot of the shorts made with shemp , is merely a remake or better yet retread of something that was done far better the first time . in the late forties and early fifties , columbia was trying to\nkill off\ntheir shorts department but were still contractually obligated to produce shorts with the stooges . that didn ' t mean that they were going to write new stories or gags or at least keep the production levels as high as they were previously with curly . hence why they resorted to just redoing a lot of the earlier\ncurly\nshorts now with shemp and some of these bits are funnier with curly because they were written specifically for his character and not shemp . all of this does a disservice to shemp ' s own abilities and unique comedy style . columbia was so cheap at this time that they even would just edit clips from the earlier stooge ' s shorts into these later ones with shemp . for example , the scene with the cook dealing with the crazy faucet at the sink and the stove turned into a sprinkling system is a direct edit from the original 1940\na plumbing we will go .\nthis is not a bad short but just not as good as the original .\nwhen i was watching this short one afternoon i thought that it was a very good short but it falls a bit short of being a classic cause i noticed that larry takes more of moe ' s wrath than shemp , although i ' ve only seen the edited version on the family channel , it is my understanding that shemp does get hit but only once , and there is one scene when shemp destroys the pipes and moe doesn ' t even hit him , i found that surprising and the subplot of kenneth macdonald and christine mcintyre wanting to steal an expensive painting keeps the short more exciting . although there aren ' t alot of classic moments in this short but this short overall is well done and fast paced and who cares that it ' s a remake of the classic curly short a plumbing we will go , this is a good shemp short although i prefer scheming schemers ( remake ) more than this short . 8 / 10\nurltoken check out my youtube page above , or i ' ll gouge your eyes out .\ni ' ve always felt this was one of the more overrated shemp shorts - - of course , i ' m one who believes that the curly original was not the\nmasterpiece\nthat many fans have made it out to be over the years . as far as shemp doing the\nmaze of pipes\n- - like i ' ve said elsewhere , the bit stands out as far as visuals go , but it ' s something that has never made me laugh til i cried , be it shemp or curly . i would say overall , that this is just a good short - - no big belly laughs , but a competent story and there are chuckles sprinkled throughout ; perhaps my favorite is when shemp shows a rare display of ingenuity and tells kenneth mcdonald ,\ncome and get it .\n7 out of 10 . . . .\nnow you ask me if i believe a man can become a wolf . well , if you mean can he take on the physical characteristics of an animal , no , it ' s fantastic . however , i do believe that most anything can happen to a man in his own mind .\nstill , i just can ' t see one thing shemp does here that can possibly be construed as better than curly ' s interpretation . shemp handles the gag like a comedian should handle it . curly transforms the gag . with shemp , i remember the gag , with curly , i remember the gag . . . . and curly .\nmaybe it is first impressions , but my gut is telling me that ' s only part of it .\nthere is an argument to the comparisons , however , as both shorts were written by elwood ullman . he also later brings us listen , judge , shemp remakes , and guns a poppin ! see what i am getting at here ? he just took a plumbing we will go and changed some of the scenes .\nnow as for this short : there is a bit of strangeness in shemp doing a routine designed for curly . but if one looks at shemp ' s performance as an individual , it is actually quite good . is he curly ? no way , but his performance is nevertheless still top - notch . he just applies his own facial expressions to this .\nlarry i think is a little better in this one . his expressions just seem . . . stronger . moe is , of course , always giving us his best . emil sitka is fantastic in his scenes as is symona , especially their ad - libbing . dudley dickerson also gives us a great show in what is also his final appearance in a stooge short , giving us one of his best lines :\nsorry , folks , dinner is cancelled on account o ' rain !\nunfortunately , most of dudley ' s parts are through stock footage ( that evil elwood ullman / felix adler beast ) .\nit ' s kenneth macdonald and christine mcintyre that cause me to\nonly\ngive this 9 / 10 . their performances are flat . yes , they are villains , but they are the most lifeless villains villainy could produce . no dynamics whatsoever from them . they ' re robots , to be blunt .\nnext week shall bring an interesting flavor to the party as we get dunked in the deep .\ni can understand trying to look at each short as an individual piece , but in this short , and to a much greater extent later on , it ' s not an individual piece at times , it ' s the exact same footage .\nyou ' re right , shemp ' s performance is good , and i can understand others judging it on its own . for me , i just have trouble doing it myself .\nwell , there are ways to evaluate stock footage as well , but this is to examine how it fits in to the new scenes . here , dudley dickerson ' s stock footage scenes fit into the grand scheme of things because he doesn ' t appear different in this . this is in contrast to some later shorts where things won ' t even make sense anymore because you ' ll have wrinkled 55 year olds intermingled with stock footage of them at 38 years old .\nwatching them age in general is fascinating since they were around so long , and it sometimes is noticeable in the stock footage . you ' re right though , those nine years were kind to dudley .\nand thus begin the stock footage clip - fests . my interest in them is minimal , if not nonexistent . i fade out as they fade in .\nstock footage does not become all that prevalent until 1953 . but i guess\nfade in\nis the proper term , because hints start to show earlier , but still , plenty of original material left .\ni was amazed to realize there were only 77 shemp shorts . but then i realized that it means this weekend next year we will be on creeps . there ' s a lot of shemp to go ! we have half a year until the stock footage farces !\n1 . symona boniface ' s role was much better than that of bess flowers . symona seemed to be the type whose nostrils would get full of water in a rainstorm . her getting splashed via the tv was probably the funniest moment of new footage .\nb . the stooges were victorious in this short , beating the robotic villainous\nmac\ncouple , whereas curly and company were running away from the cops at the end .\nand in both shorts , dudley dickerson ' s scenes were very humorous , regardless of sameness .\nbut i am glad someone agrees with my views on the personalities of the\nvillains .\nwhen ' s ruben amaro , jr . going to show up in these ?\ni honestly see no problem with the two mac ' s as villains here . especially mr . mac , who is underplaying the way boris karloff would at times . i admit there ' s nothing remotely comic or ironic about them , which may turn some people off in this setting , but they seem perfectly believable to me .\none point of comparison between this and a plumbing we will go is that in the earlier short , as in many of that period , the stooges are vagabonds and petty thieves , running from the police , while in this one , they have their own business , and it is a couple of members of the snoot - suit set who provide the criminality .\nthat for me is the problem . they ' re so lifeless it ' s almost like they ' re bored and don ' t really want to be there .\nactually , i always preferred garlic matzohs , but they don ' t come in the 5 - pound boxes that my wife and i get for free each year with a $ 50 purchase ( never a problem ) at the local supermarkets .\no k , i got one , and it ' s not good , but i ' ll throw it out here just to get the ball rolling : plumb crazy . i told you it was no good . i also apologize for not remembering who came up with the iceman dumbeth , and i can ' t find it . i do think i remember it was one of the big boys .\n( or so i am informed ) . i sometimes think that the studio gave no more than five minutes of thought to coming up with titles for these things . some of them make a worthwhile joke , like\nidle roomers\nand\nboobs in arms ,\nwhile others are just lame half - jokes , like this one .\nwe ' re off !

skirts and beatles - era psychedelia , saturday night fever disco and purple rain - era prince . it\u2019s the chief reason to see bollywood beats . unfettered by plot or character or earnest social issues , it\u2019s just fun .\nthis bollywood looks more like a town in which entry of a newcomer from a non - bollywood background is so hard ! i am always thinking how people could be this much stupid that even after watching the trailer they go to theatres and waste their money . oh ! come on tell me when was the last time did you watch any bollywood movie that seriously striked your mind ?\nyes the day will come . if filmmakers will give a chance to talented people by forgetting their looks . bollywood needs some risk ability to make different kind of movies . but bollywood had made some kind of different movies which are awesome than hollywood movies : -\nturns out i had to shift my expectations somewhat . bollywood beats was indeed shot in plano ( standing in for la ) , and writer - director mehul shah is an smu grad . but post - production was all done in delhi , and the principal actors are out - of - town pros ( actress - co - producer mansi patel , lilette dubey of monsoon wedding , former miss india usa pooja kumar ) .\nyes bollywood can beat hollywood , but the strategy and time to do that is with the bollywood filmmakers . if you have played a strategy based video game called \u201ccivilization\u201d you will understand that victory is not only through one way . for example the game could be won by either waging war or diplomacy same way bollywood cannot beat hollywood when it comes to budget at any time unless most of the production companies go bankrupt and in terms of vfx , pre - production , marketing and global market , bollywood loses by a big margin .\nto conclude i would like to emphasize that the only way bollywood could beat hollywood is through making content driven and technically superior movies .\ni don\u2019t understand why the comparison is always made with bollywood . in this article , i am gonna compare the indian movies . as a matter of fact , i watch hollywood , kollywood , tollywood , mollywood , sandalwood , . . along with bollywood movies too .\nbollywood dance is a special form of dance and it plays a significant role in indian movies . bollywood movies are well known for their traditional and colorful costumes and beautiful dance sequences . bollywood songs are designed to take the movies forward ; it is all about storytelling through meaningful lyrics , facial expressions and body movements . bollywood dance moves and routines have mesmerized millions all over the world . bollywood dance is taking australia by storm and with recent international success of a famous song jai ho it is becoming evident that the world is embracing this form of dance . bollywood dance is a fusion of various dance forms , like indian classical , folk dance , disco , bhangra , and sometimes even western dance movements . it\u2019s a beautiful and vibrant cocktail of dances . it allows you to escape in the fantasy land .\nthe term \u2018bollywood\u2019 comes from the combination of the names of bombay ( now known as mumbai ) and hollywood . the bollywood film industry , based in mumbai , is the largest film industry in the world in terms of ticket sales and the amount of films made per year .\nthe audience : the audience for the both the genres are completely different , hollywood movies have an international appeal because their audience are international . bollywood barely has a national appeal . majority of the south india is divided into kollywood , tollywood etc and do not watch bollywood movies .\nalso , the budget of hollywood movies is enormous as compared to bollywood movies which allows them to build bigger sets and have better locations .\nbollywood beats is the new film written and directed by mehul shah . raj ( sachin bhatt ) is a down on his luck dancer fighting to hold his life together , but a chance encounter with jyoti ( lilette dubey ) changes his life forever . through his students laxmi ( pooja kumar ) , vina ( sarita joshi ) , puja ( mansi patel ) & vincent ( mehul shah ) , raj finds acceptance and family where he never thought to look .\nbollywood fusion by our crew at the royal alberta museum theater . performed by - sushant kulkarni , alisha shivji , anusha lalani and sheena parabtani .\nbollywood dance and cardio fitness for adults and kids . group classes , private lessons , troupe performances , bachelorette , birthday party , weddings etc .\nthirdly , it is not that bollywood does not have good directors . but the problem is that they don ' t get funds , they get there asses kicked by censor board , they don ' t get the superstars ( heroes ) of bollywood to act in their movies but they only have some natural actors , they don ' t get broadcasting rights , and after all this if the movie gets released , they don ' t get the viewers to watch their work . it is the irony of bollywood and that is why i am doubtful of bollywood\u2019s success in recent future .\ntumka \u2013 don\u2019t be confused if you hear this word thrown around a bollywood dance fitness class . it\u2019s a fun , classic bollywood dance move which involves moving your hips from side to side . take a few of our bombay jam classes and you\u2019ll quickly master this iconic dance step in no time !\nno . it won ' t . in fact , there is no competition between hollywood and bollywood at all . hollywood is way better and bigger .\nwe ' re so excited that we have 4 festivals coming up where bollywood beats has been accepted . our first festival is the mumbai film festival that runs from october 29 - november 5 ( http : / / www . mumbaifilmfest . com ) . then we go to fayetville arkansas for the 504 film festival from november 5 - 8 , then nyc for the miaac film fest from november 11 - 15 , and the st . louis international film festival from oct 12 - 22 .\ninteresting question . the answer is unfortunately , no . bollywood lets ( forces ) talent to take a back seat while the face value does the work .\nalso , the main focus in bollywood movies is on the actors as compared to the storyline of the movie which is not the case in hollywood movies .\nin terms of technology hollywood is miles ahead of bollywood . the picturization , graphics , vfx , special effects are fantastically done and they have received huge accolades for using such technologies in their movies . the kind of dedication they put in a project is hard to find in bollywood ( barring a few ) .\ni am not writing this to offend anybody . but the truth is if the good talent wants to enter in bollywood they will not have any chances .\nbollywood beats is the place to be if you want to spice up your night by immersing in the luxe bollywood music lounge with mesmerising live dance performances ! mon -

award winning fox show , so you think you can dance ; ar rahman\u2019s soundtrack for the hit movie slumdog millionaire was incredibly well received in the united states ; and now , infamous bollywood actress priyanka chopra is the lead of a new abc drama called quantico .\nbollywood stars came out in support of director sanjay leela bhansali after a group of up to 30 assailants on wednesday torched props at the film set near mumbai .\ni sincerely hope , however unlikely it is , that i live to see that day when bollywood comes equal to or ahead of hollywood in terms of quality .\nconsidering the movies being made in bollywood in this decade ( 2011 onwards ) , i don ' t think that is going to happen , forget anytime soon .\nwhat can you expect from this bollywood movies in which they can ' t come up even with new songs ! i can understand their concept of making biographies .\nfive years ago , bollywood hardly considered overseas films a threat and hollywood studios were struggling to get a foot in the door of a fiercely loyal movie market .\nhollywood is the highest grossing film industry in the world . while bollywood is the third highest grossing film industry . and the difference in revenue is huge ! pretty huge ! for comparison , business of bollywood films in 2016 was $ 1 . 9 billions , while for hollywood it was $ 11 . 4 billions . : o\nwhere i talk about all things bollywood from news and information in addition to listening to some of the best music the industry has to offer as well as talking about the latest release . this week i ' ll be talking about the latest bollywood release is mirzya , staring harshvardhan kapoor , siyami kher , om puri , kk raina\nmumbai / bombay \u2013 mumbai and bombay are two names for the same city . mumbai is the center of the bollywood industry much like la is the home of hollywood .\nthe only thing where bollywood can beat hollywood is making more films than them annually and number of admissions or footfalls . everything else ? \u2026well there is absolutely no comparison .\ni prefered to watch bollywood films but nowadays there are no films there is no acting there is only regret after watching any of bollywood films . what are they making ? they are only making money by fooling us . a one item song and people get mad . please take some steps towards it otherwise after few years there will only regret .\nindian protesters burned costumes and vandalised the set of bollywood movie\npadmavati\nthis week over tabloid rumours the film will romantically link a legendary hindu queen with a muslim ruler .\nthe threebee motto is \u2018innovative bollywood\u2019 and they work hard to tailor each event to precisely match the needs of the clients . the company has performed across a diverse client base such as\nbollywood star deepika padukone , who plays padmavati , took to twitter to defend the period drama following the first attack , saying\nthere is absolutely no distortion of history\nin the movie .\nbefore even aiming to compete with hollywood at a global level , bollywood will have to compete with the south indian film industry and energetic victorious when it comes to originality and quality of films .\nfor example in india eventhough there are many industries making good movies , bollywood may be the money churning machine , but contnet driven movie lovers will rate malayalam cinema and marathi cinema above bollywood . a new wave of cinema has already started in tamil cinemas and change is already effected . good movies have become rare in bollywood . some directors who make good movies are pushed to the brink ending up in frustration . bollywood has some great talent but often doesn\u2019t get the right recognition because of this cancer called \u201cnepotism\u201d and major production companies only producing only guaranteed money returns . even the comedies that are being made are getting low on content . this is the same industry that produced movies like \u201cjaane bhi do yaaro\u201d , \u201cgolmaal ( 1979 ) \u201d , \u201cpadosan\u201d , \u201cchupke chupke\u201d etc .\nin admist of these shitty movies some good movies also gets affected . no fantasy , no sci - fi , no war nothing is bigger than our bollywood ' s biggest issue ' love ' !\nlastly ( but not the least ) , bollywood is compromising a lot due to nepotism . in bollywood it has become a trend that the blood relatives of producers , actors get higher priority than those who actually struggles to get a chance in the industry . many a times we have seen kins of big stars are cast in movies and they often get a massive opening due the enormous effort put into the promotion . this puts a big question mark on the quality of the movies and upcoming actors . i guess this is something where bollywood must work on if they want to overshadow their western counterpart .\nthe black eyed peas are no strangers to sampling ( we currently list 91 tracks that they ' ve sampled ) and they sure like to sample bollywood . they ' ve done it several times , including in the opening to quirky single ' my humps ' , but the most memorable example is on grammy award winning single ' don ' t phunk with my heart ' . the song is based around a sample of iconic bollywood singer asha bhosle ( yes , she of brimful of asha fame ) from 1972 film apradh . the bep went a step further and sampled the intro for this track from another bollywood soundtrack , don . interestingly , both soundtracks sampled here were composed by the kalyanji anandji brothers - seems like urltoken & co really wanted to get that vintage 70 ' s bollywood action flick sound .\nworst thing ever is to cast sunny leone in bollywood films in horny characters and still she is saying that she came here to prove something and don\u2019t take her as pornstar ( think about that ) .\nit dates back to the time since the first films were made in india . bollywood films must have song and dance and a large number of dance styles have been enfolded into it . these dances might include\u2026\n\u201cfrench kiss\u201d was never a big hit in the west . perhaps that\u2019s why the makers of its successful bollywood version named \u201cpyaar to hona hi tha\u201d never admitted that the film was based on the hollywood film .\nbollywood director karan johar , whose own film was the subject of violent protests last year by hindu nationalist groups for featuring a pakistani actor , told reporters the attacks on\npadmavati\nwere\ndeeply saddening\n.\ntollywood actors show emotions far better than majority of the actors in bollywood . if a certain role requires anger , anger is clearly reflected in the eyes of the hero . emotions of sadness are also shown perfectly !\nthe biggest drawback of bollywood is the fact that people are more obsessed with the actors rather than the content . here one has to make a movie with big names involved with it , if the makers want to make a good deal of money out of it . bollywood feeds on stardom , hero worship . a big star does not necessarily make a great actor , but his presence on the screen definitely churns a huge amount of money .\nthere are lots of problems with bollywood ( not just with bollywood , but also with some of the other regional movie industries as well ) . actors and actresses ( particularly main characters ) are chosen based on the achievement of their parents in the film industry . star kids enter into the industry too easily . for people , who have no connections find it very difficult to land a decent role . in short , talent is not given importance .\nvisited their on friday night ! aroma of tat place is like m in mumbai . have to tell tat dancers are very talented their . specially a one ? oops ddnt ask the name my bad \ufffd . cheers to bollywood nights\ufffd\ufffd\nbollyrobics is fusion of bollywood style dance and aerobics . whether you are a serious dancer or someone looking for fun , a child or a child at heart , we ' ve got it all . this will be the last time\u2026\nalso , the animations and the vfx effects that we see in the bollywood movies are okay but when you watch movies like avatar or life of pi or jungle book or any marvel or dc movies it just blows your mind .\nthe biggest bollywood release of this week was not in india , but in china . aamir khan\u2019s mega - hit dangal opened across 10 , 000 screens in china , which is also the biggest market for hollywood films outside america .\nhollywood movies cater to the entire world as the number of people understanding english is higher than their hindi counterparts . this undoubtedly works as an upperhand for hollywood . however bollywood movies are also doing great globally these days ( bahubali 2 has become highest grosser in the us bo recently and few more are there ) . this might be due to the fact that bollywood movies are targeted primarily for the indian audiences , whereas in the west the target audience is the entire globe . they make movies on different personalities , on different incidents which involves countries other than the us , books or novels that are read and followed everywhere in the world . hence the popularity of english movies is always greater than bollywood .\nurdu \u2013 urdu is hindi\u2019s close cousin . it is very similar to hindi and widely spoken in india\u2019s neighboring country , pakistan . urdu has a large presence in indian poetry , and therefore makes a recurring appearance in bollywood films and music .\nwhen bollywood would become a pool of people with talent rather than a colony where few families control the entire industry i . e . nepotism would be at a minimum . so that everyone gets equal opportunities . few examples to prove my point -\nbollywood repeats their genre number of times . like they love to make movies related to romantic or rom - com or comedy . here in this tiral they go on making same kind of movies whereas in hollywood you will see majority of topics and they make movies with detail study . they do not stop themselves from experiments . they love to make something from nothing . so if bollywood have to do something to go ahead than they have to put their step in the field of experiments .\nthe term \u2018bollywood\u2019 in dance covers almost any style of dance featured in these extravagant musical movies . some of the numerous styles of dance featured in films , either in fusion form or in pure forms , include kathak , bharatnatyam , odissi , garba & bhangra as well as belly - dance , latin , hip hop , contemporary and jazz just to name a few ! bollywood dance itself is a style which encompasses all of these styles and more , as well as having its own unique flavour and merit .\nkhan is the star of such hits as \u201cdilwale dulhaniya le jayenge , \u201d \u201cdevdas , \u201d \u201cchennai express\u201d and \u201ckabhi khushi kabhie gham . \u201d his latest film , \u201c raees , \u201d gave the bollywood industry a good start to 2017 after a lackluster year .\nbollywood is missing a simple point , i . e if the movies are good , there are good chances that it will be a box office hit too . focus is heavily on making the movie a commercial success , but not on having a decent story .\nbut aside from that , the release of dangal has highlighted how \u2018made in india\u2019 or rather \u2018made in bollywood\u2019 has caught on in china . salman khan\u2019s eid release tubelight may get a china release as well , as might tiger shroff\u2019s baaghi 2 , as per reports .\nddjl \u2013 ddlj is the acronym for the quintessential bollywood rom - com , dilwale dulhania le jayenge ( \u201cthe brave - hearted will take the bride\u201d ) . yes it\u2019s a mouthful , but it\u2019s a bollywood must see . starring heartthrob shahrukh khan , the movie follows the tale of a young couple who meet and fall in love during a vacation in europe and all the complications which ensue thereafter . till this date , ddlj holds the world record for the longest - running film in theaters\u2014a whopping 1009 weeks ( almost 20 years ) \u2014due to its widespread popularity .\ni dream of the times when bollywood will produce a sci - fi film or a superhero film with hollywood like vfx . horror movies will mostly revolve around some sexy actress making out and lame jump scares . there ' s no suspense . i firmly believe that the bollywood producers will keep releasing such movies , unless the audience stops seeing such movies and demands movies of a good , logical plot . my most favorite comedy movie is ' hera pheri ' and there have been not many movies that match or even exceed the level of comedy portrayed in the movie .\namong other bollywood films released in china was dhoom 3 ( which also starred aamir khan , in a double role ) . and while bahubali 2 : the conclusion is breaking box - office records in india , bahubali : the beginning had done roaring business in china after its july 2016 release .\nbollywood has larger audiences in india , yet they just try and make only few genres . most of them would be always rom - com or just romantic movies ( again most of those in that list are crap too ) . they are very much focusing on skin shows and grand attires where they miss all the other things . even the editing , sound engineering feels like crap to me . but there are really good movies which comes time from time in bollywood ( only few like pk , taare zameen paar , dhoom 1 , 2 , bajrangi bhaijan , . . ) . the kind of money the big celebrity movies from bollywood earn is a daydream for most of the other regional movies ( except rajinikanth movies ) . yet they wont produce a movie like robot or baahubali ( where they produce movies like bang bang , ra one , kick , dishoom , + add so much worst remade movies in those list ) .\nbollywood star shah rukh khan will be honored at the 60th san francisco intl . film festival on april 14 at the castro theater . \u201cking\u201d khan as he is known to his millions of fans will participate in a conversation onstage with brett ratner following a screening of his 2010 hit \u201cmy name is khan . \u201d\nthough bollywood may be the best - known indian dance style in the united states , adler worked with choreographer shampa gopikrishna to also incorporate indian folk , classical , and regional styles . she and emmy award - winning\ndancing with the stars\nchoreographer tessandra chavez worked on several routines in the film together .\nbhangra \u2013 bhangra is a folk dance originating from the indian state of punjab . it\u2019s a high - impact , high - energy , aerobic style of dance which involves a lot of jumps and high knees . bhangra music and dance is often incorporated into bollywood . bhangra also has a sizable presence in western music .\nitem numbers \u2013 a signature feature of bollywood movies , item numbers refer to dance numbers within a film that don\u2019t necessarily lend themselves to the plot . these songs often end up becoming chart toppers in india as they are catchy and fun to dance to . the music videos will include vibrant choreography and colorful costumes .\np . s - i have put a bet of 5000 thousand rupees with my brother in 2012 that no bollywood movie could match the level of animation like it was shown in men in black 3 till the year 2020 and all i can say till now is that i have never been so right . ; )\nin la , it ' s not that often that i get to learn a new style of dance ,\nellsworth told nbc news .\nso when i got to learn some real authentic bollywood styles from shampa gopikrishna , i was so excited to explore a side of dance i hadn ' t learned before .\nmasala film : masala is the hindi word for \u201cspice . \u201d masala films have everything\u2014romance , comedy , action , drama , songs , dances , thrills , and of course , melodrama . they are commercially successful and aim to please as wide an audience as possible . they are often considered mainstream in relation to other bollywood films .\nbollywood star shah rukh khan will be honored at the 60th san francisco intl . film festival on april 14 at the castro theater . \u201cking\u201d khan as he is known to his millions of fans will participate in a conversation onstage with brett ratner following a screening of his 2010 hit \u201cmy name is khan . \u201d \u201cit [ \u2026 ]\nfact : ram gopal varma\u2019s \u201cthe attacks of 26 / 11\u201d is shot in a para - documentary format and one of the only 2 films of bollywood to be shot in that format . it also received many awards in the independent film category . the only other film to be shot in para - documentary format is irfan khan\u2019s \u201ctalvar\u201d .\nwe awe to films with budget of 100 crores in bollywood , whereas the budget of most big movies like transformers , pirates of caribbean , avengers stand to $ 200 - $ 250 million . that ' s whooping 16 , 05 , 00 , 00 , 000 indian rupees . yes , count the figure and imagine surpassing this budget .\nthat an assamese song has been used in a bollywood movie is good news for the state ' s cultural milieu . i am very happy ,\nrajdweep , who has written songs for at least seven assamese films and is working on two , said . his song pokhi pokhi mor mon sung by papon was a huge hit .\n\u201cafter pk\u2019s phenomenal success in china , and now that the fast and the furious 8 ( aka the fate of the furious ) has done better in china than in america , china seems to be the next destination for bollywood films . goes without saying that china has a huge market to be explored , \u201d says trade analyst taran adarsh .\nit is good to be ambitious . but the recent questions on bollywood vs hollywood is showing the dissatisfaction in us . the moment we encourage good movies and stop going to movies just because a huge star is present in that film will take our films a long way in the world of international cinema . and only then , we can beat hollywood .\non the other hand , bollywood is still selling actors instead of movies . horror and sci - fi genres are non - existent . romance movies are cheesy , and oft sexist . action movies are ( unintentionally ) funnier than the purported comedy flicks like kya kool hain hum , housefull etc . the industry\u2019s lacking in both the depth and breadth of movies .\nin 2016 , marvel superhero film deadpool trumped the hindi film fitoor , nearly doubling the $ 2 . 9 million box office takings of the bollywood remake of charles dickens\u2019 great expectations . disney\u2019s the jungle book , released a week before indian superstar shah rukh khan\u2019s new film , raked in $ 28 million in ticket sales while fan mopped up $ 13 million .\nfirstly , it is the desire of directors and producers to make good movies . presently , top bollywood directors ( except a few like anurag kashyap ) are devoid of any such desire . contemporary big movies are kick , chennai express , bajrangi bhaijan , happy new year , singham , rowdy rathore and many more . these are movies which get highlighted and earn a lot . so the producers and directors go on making more shit ( i use that word because yesterday i watched the trailer of \u2018flying jatt\u2019 ) . on the contrary , there are great hollywood directors who make a movie because they just want to make it . i don ' t see a \u2018schindler\u2019s list\u2019 kind of work coming in bollywood any time soon .\nright . so how are the dance productions ? those are pretty much the entire purpose of a bollywood musical . it\u2019s revealing that although keith clark is credited with the choreography , four other names are listed below his , without official title \u2014 suggesting the varying styles on display . bhatt is attractive and charming , though his hip - hop moves are more mainstream breaks and glides than hard - core aggressive krump . as the put - upon housewife who ( surprise ! ) suddenly flowers on the floor , kumar is a commanding presence . bollywood musicals are all about directing ( possibly dangerous ) sexual energies into safe , smiling , lightly smoldering dance numbers , and kumar excels at conveying the smolder , especially in the final sequence .\nall said , the hollywood will churn out better movies than bollywood ever will . i admit there are some masterpieces that the bollywood has delivered , like ' a wednesday ' , ' sarfarosh ' , ' padosan ' , swades ( worth of mentioning it again ) , ' bhaag milkha bhaag ' , ' rang de basanti ' . but the number of zero - depth , illogical movies released every year highly overshadows the number of really good movies . i saw the trailer of baar baar dekho , and i saw a scene straight out of ' a beautiful mind ' where russel crowe is calculating on the windows , and the same scene is shown in the movie . siddharth malhotra also does the same , although a bit differently .\n, has had a profound effect on cinema across the world since the early 20th century . the united states cinema ( hollywood ) is the oldest film industry in the world . hollywood has become popular world - wide , with many of its films being released in almost all countries . while bollywood is popular in the eastern countries and has been gaining popularity in many western countries including the us .\nperiod drama begum jaan was the only bollywood film that dared to challenge the fast and the furious car - racing franchise , unlike other indian films that steered clear of a possible clash despite the dearth of slots in a crowded 2017 release calendar . \u201cit has come to a stage when producers are actually staying away from april 14 , \u201d film - maker vikramaditya motwane told reuters in an interview in march .\ncolin burrows , a marketing consultant who works on hollywood releases in india , said he sat in on meetings with bollywood producers and studio executives pushing release dates in order to avoid clashing with hollywood franchises such as transformers , x - men , avengers and spider - man . \u201ci can tell you one thing - i would not care to be a release scheduler in india right now , \u201d said burrows .\nlastly , cinema in a layman\u2019s terms is something made for the entertainment of the masses . of course that is not the boundary of cinema , it is a lot more than that . but unfortunately , majority of indians prescribe to the previous viewpoint . i agree to one phrase in that view \u201cfor the masses\u201d . and the most unfortunate thing to happen to bollywood is that taste of viewers . it is not that we don ' t have good directors or good stories , neither do we lack in good actors but all is in vain unless people start appreciating good cinema . and that is the biggest barrier in bollywood\u2019s journey to greatness . and this generation has its tastes decided , we have to wait for the next . hollywood decided it a long time back when they ranked citizen kane as the best movie .\nthe beats on tricky ' s debut album maxinquaye almost sounded like they were from another planet when the album came out in 1994 , and while that wasn ' t entirely true , they did come from some unexpected sources that were forward - thinking for the time . this beat from the soundtrack to 1993 ' s khal nayak forms the perfect background to tricky ' s trademark rasping voice and martina topley - bird ' s stoned singing . tricky tapped into indian cinema once more on this album by sampling the beat for public enemy cover ' black steel ' from a . r . rahman ' s soundtrack to roja . interestingly , roja was rahman ' s first soundtrack , launching an illustrious career that took him from his tamil roots to the top of international cinema , scoring films such as slumdog millionaire and 127 hours while winning two academy awards , two grammy awards and a golden globe along the way .\nin fact today it seems as if bollywood is going through a dark age . most of the debutant actors come with six and eight pack abs , good looks and dancing skills but they know nothing about acting . we can ' t progress till we create actors , not just heroes who romance with a girl , take off their shirts and fight a few gundas . and the awards are an icing on the cake .\nsadly bollywood is an industry who believes in looks and muscle than talent . if an actor does not have a fair skin means his career is a flop . if an actor is bald means his career is flop . whereas in hollywood even will smith is black and we know how great he is . they give opportunity to talent first than the looks . we need to be very serious by the quote that \u201c the look does not matter\u201d\ndeepti is a dance instructor located in edmonton , alberta . she has learnt formal bharatnatyam ( classical dance from the state of tamil nadu , india ) from the young age of three under the mentorship of srimati girija rajendran from kalashetra bani , tamil nadu . she is also well versed in mohiniyattam ( classical dance art form of the state of kerala , india ) which she has been practicing from the age of eight under the mentorship of srimati sarojini iyer from thiruvanathapuram . she has earned accolades of credits attending various dance workshops around the word through her career and specializes in bollywood dancing . she was the head choreographer in \u201cthe hail foundation\u201d of cms college alumina 1999 in dubai , u . a . e . deepti instructs bollywood dance lessons and conducts dance workshops for all ages and choreographs dances for various events . she has also a lot of experience in instructing children ' s dance classes in edmonton ."]}

shots ( including playing ethel rosenberg in abc\u2019s the trial of julius and ethel rosenberg ) but considers a series anathema .\nmichael himself is leary about the weekly regimen\u2014both professionally and personally . what he really seeks is to direct and produce movies\u2014a sensible solution for someone who does not want to be remembered as son of spartacus . most of michael\u2019s moonlight hours the past few years have been spent in co - producing a film version of kesey\u2019s one flew over the cuckoo\u2019s nest , starring jack nicholson . \u201cthe exciting thing about making films today is that everything is up lor grabs , \u201d he explains . \u201cand you had better grab . \u201d\nthe other problem about tv series for douglas is the crimp in his relationship with vaccaro . during the eight - month shooting season , michael is on san francisco location up to 18 hours a day , six days a week , and brenda is on an air - shuttle yo - yo from los angeles every weekend between her commitments ( the latest of which was the adaptation of jacqueline susann\u2019s once is not enough , also featuring , ironically , kirk douglas ) . this summer , with his crescendoing clout on streets , michael finagled an extra week together with brenda by casting her in the series as a guest star . she played a gun - toting mob hit - woman , in an episode which will air september 19th .\nthe permanent ( though still rented , not owned ) douglas - vaccaro home is a glittering los angeles aerie atop benedict canyon , which they share with a belgian sheepdog , a persian cat and now and then with even her ex - boyfriend . what will drive them to marriage is the children michael\u2019s mother is speculatively knitting for . kids out of wedlock are unthinkable to both . \u201ci\u2019m not condemning those people who do it , \u201d says michael . \u201cbut it seems simpler ail the way around to get married . \u201d brenda concurs but would never give up her profession completely . \u201cas simone de beauvoir said , \u201d says vaccaro , with uncommon seriousness , \u201d \u2018a woman\u2019s freedom always begins with her own money . \u2019 \u201d\nall products featured were editorially selected . urltoken may receive a percentage of sales for items purchased from these links . \u00a9 2018 meredith corporation all rights reserved . use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms of use and privacy policy ( your california privacy rights ) . | eu data subject requests\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njerry , not a member of the ' protest generation ' but is instead , an ' all american boy , ' is drafted into the army , just as things begin to go well for him . his decision to flee to canada . . . see full summary \u00bb\nbuzzing comedies such as the spy who dumped me await you in our summer movie guide . check in for all the info you need .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\na disillusioned man can ' t decide whether to join the army or to become a hippie .\nafter the death of a relative , a professor goes to the funeral and gets himself a job there working with power lines . he soon finds his entire life changing before his eyes .\ntwo young children , who , rather than part with an old pet lion who was once a circus performer , go on a perilous mountain trek to stay with a recluse friend .\namerican marathon runner michael andropolis sets his heart on representing his country at the olympic games . meanwhile his marriage has fallen apart and his children have no respect for him . . . see full summary \u00bb\na successful but stressed mathematics professor ( clayburgh ) goes to her father ' s wedding and falls in love with her father ' s bride ' s son ( douglas ) , a prematurely retired pro baseball player . . . see full summary \u00bb\na woman begins receiving ominous phone calls from a relative who died 15 years prior . with each phone call , a family member dies . will she be the next in line ?\ndisgusted with criminals escaping the judicial system via technicalities , an idealistic young judge investigates an alternative method for punishing the guilty .\njerry , not a member of the ' protest generation ' but is instead , an ' all american boy , ' is drafted into the army , just as things begin to go well for him . his decision to flee to canada sparks off conflict with his parents , ending in the film ' s conclusion -

personas who neither performed exstraordinarily nor efforlessly . muisc nominees are always horrible . jury panel is always careless . they don\u2019t recognise or they dont have caliber to select nominees on merit base . where is sadhana sargam who earlier won 2 awards in tamil and telugu in 2007 . she didnt win again in spite of her supremly sweet renditions . her song from \u201cbana kathadi\u201d is so sweet . . \u201den nenjil\u201d\u2026again in telugu in \u201csambo siva sambo\u201d for the melliflous rendition \u201ckannupapellao prema\u201d\u2026 . .\ni completely agreed

vijay antony in the list . b\u2019cuz d . imman gave his extraordinary music in mynaa & kacheri aarambam . vijay antony gave uthamaputhiran , angadi theru . who is this funny juries making wrong decisions !\ni\u2019m really happy . in kannada really tuft competitions in all cotagories . all the best to all candidates\nwhat is this ? this selection is very bad in female singar deportment . i think andrea is best in goa ( ithuvarai ) and yuvan is the best in 2011 and always .\neven i am really shocked in the female singer category of tamil\u2026\u2026where is mannipayya which got recently almost all the awards\u2026 . . such a sweet rendition by shreya ghoshal which no one else can do\u2026\u2026 . she really deserves the award\u2026her other nomination also deserves\u2026also what about thulli thulli from paiyya\u2026haricharan deserves\u2026\u2026\u2026 . one thing is to be noted\u2026 . shreya is the only singer to get most nominations here\u2026hope she wins also\u2026 : ) and definitely wrong decisions for tamil singing category\u2026 . where is mannipaya ? ? ? ? its really bizarre\u2026\u2026\u2026 . . : ? (\ni am happy with malayalam female singer nominations . shreya ghoshal has won 5 awards in kerala this year . i think she will get it . also in tamil songs mannippaya should be included . she has won 3 awards so far in tamil . i have only doubt with her song in kannada\n@ jijo dont worry kannada also hopefully she will win since she has 2 nominations both of which are hit urltoken is really peppy and the other one is highly melodious \u2026 . hopefully she should win\u2026 . . if there is no politics\u2026 . hope u get that\u2026and really sad that there is no mannippaya\u2026\u2026\u2026 . : (\nim also shocked 2 c d nomines of telugu best actor award . where is prabhas\u2019 name ? sad\nreally shocked by these nominations in telugu all male actor nominees are top heroes which is unfair . but another good thing is that in best music nominees sekhar chandra is included . but watching tamil nominees really shocked thuli thuli song not included guys what has happened to the selection jury\nshreya ghoshal got 2 awards ( un prerai sollum podhe ( tamil ) , kizhakku pookkum ( malayalm ) ) . . . . . .\n100 % politics in south filmfare . not even single award for simha movie ( telugu blockbluster movie of the year 2010 ) not fair\ndear urltoken viewers , if you have anything like shooting spot pictures , your own celebrity wallpapers or movie posters , and any interesting tamil cinema news and gossips etc . , kindly send us to\nwith subject ' entertainment -

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

kill . why is it called that ? the film\u2019s title sequence features a computer screen and electronic sound effects , but no such technology is featured in the movie . it\u2019s as if they were trying to pull in the mad max crowd with punks in silly costumes and a title that kind - of - sort - of implies a post - apocalyptic setting , but its lies . all lies . future - kill takes place firmly within the present of 1985 .\nsometimes , when someone gives you advice , you really ought to take it . i was advised never to watch future - kill by multiple sources , under the impression that it was so absolutely appalling that it could injure me spiritually . i love bad movies , so i figured \u201cwhat the hell ? \u201d\nleveraging our installed base , product knowledge and engineering capabilities to provide customers with outstanding service through which we can capture aftermarket value long into the future .\nfuture naval ships are being constructed with\nsuitable facilities\nto include women sailors and sooner or later , women officers will also be onboard them .\nthe mileage one gets out of a movie like future - kill is going to almost solely depend on their willingness to indulge the movie\u2019s ruddy , lo - fi aesthetic . none of the characters are particularly likable , to the point that you\u2019re actively rooting for splatter to massacre the meatheads \u2013 until the mutant sexually assaults a woman , reminding us that he is , in fact , the bad guy . yet future - kill remains undeniably diverting for its brief runtime ( which had to be padded with extra hijinks in order to reach feature length ) . it\u2019s no lost gem , but moore\u2019s lone feature will do the job if you\u2019re in a pinch for an era - specific horror freak out .\nnow there are bad movies and there are bad movies . future - kill ranks among the type of bad that has no redeeming value , not even from a humor standpoint . i think i\u2019d sooner subject myself to rock \u2018n\u2019 roll nightmare or r . o . t . o . r . than a repeat viewing of this sorry excuse for entertainment .\nindia and the uk are jointly making one of the most powerful engines for fighter jets of the future and the first such engine will be unveiled within a year .\nas far as gore goes , future - kill can\u2019t even manage to deliver on that . most of the violence involves the frat boys tackling mutant punks and punching each other a lot . the lighting is so incredibly dim that even if there was any blood you\u2019d have a hard time seeing it . splatter , for all his promotion of that clawed - gauntlet , doesn\u2019t kill all that many people . i\u2019d say he\u2019s a victim of hype\u2026 but what hype ? the goriest scene in the film is splatter\u2019s ultimate demise . it actually is pretty cool , though woefully short and hardly worth the eighty - five minute wait .\nin future - kill , it\u2019s hard to tell whether or not the apocalypse has already occurred , or if we\u2019re anticipating earth\u2019s eventual fiery demise . frat boys still walk the planet , popping collars before tarring and feathering their rivals , so evidence seems to suggest the latter . nevertheless , downtown austin is overrun by purple - haired , chrome - masked mutants , all of who protest impending nuclear doom . reality \u2013 at least as we know it \u2013 is on the brink of utter annihilation .\na long , dark urban nightmare ensues , complete with a punk pixie guide ( alice villarreal ) to the mosh pit clubs these sewer cretins call home ( with a show - stopping performance from local rockers , max and the makeups , along the way ) . this climaxes in a funhouse - style showdown inside of a run down industrial high - rise ; each room bathed in a different shade of neon . where the rest of this concrete jungle trek is drab and dimly lit , future - kill comes alive during this final day - glo stalk and slash sequence . it\u2019s far from stunning , but again glimpses moore\u2019s modestly ambitious filmic vision . it\u2019s a movie that makes the most of its meager means , playing like a demo reel for future ragers that never arrived .\ndebuting writer -

notch transfer from subversive , who have cleaned up the imagery considerably . while grain and speckling are obvious , the picture is considerably better than any other available prints , and a grungy look simply instils more of a mood into the dirty action . this new 16x9 widescreen transfer lends the movie somewhat of an improved scope , lending something to the viewing experience , while audio is satisfying , doing its job professionally ( albeit the track isn ' t as exceptional as many of subversive ' s other releases ) .\nnot as inventive , or as frightening as the cover suggests , future kill is far from the atrocious experience that many critics have claimed . this freak show is exciting in a goofy , slip - shod manner . a bumbling ode to the ' old dark house ' genre ( albeit on the streets ) with the structural trappings of an exploitation slice - and - dice movie ( and the look of a cheap italian futuristic terror opus ) , this urban potboiler is admirable for its enthusiasm if nothing else , and is worth a look as a favorite of the bygone days of 80s video stores .\nr / horror , colloquially known as dreadit by our subscribers is the premier horror entertainment community on reddit . for more than 8 years / r / horror has been urltoken ' s gateway to the darker side of entertainment . so if you have a little time to kill , come on over . we ' ll get the chainsaw warmed up for you .\na slab -

sky is all id . a visceral trip that hits you in the mouth from its opening frames , and grips onto you , unrelentingly until the cathartic close .\nthe film sincerely strives for emotional maturity , but without a discernible narrative , comprehensible character motivations , or a thematic thread to latch onto , \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d merely whimpers with unfocused gloom .\nand , as another aside , speaking of precious , one noteworthy factoid ; correcting what we all believed when it was made public that she had a role in the film , gabourey sidibe actually got the part in yelling to the sky before most of us even knew about lee daniels\u2019 adaptation of sapphire\u2019s novel . we long believed that gabourey\u2019s participation in yelling to the sky was due in some part to her performance in precious . not quite the case .\nsubscribe to trailers : urltoken subscribe to coming soon : urltoken yelling to the sky official trailer # 1 ( 2012 ) - gabourey sidibe , zoe kravitz movie hd as her family falls apart , seventeen year old sweetness o ' hara is left to fend for herself in a neighborhood where her survival is uncertain .\nthis is what i related to and why \u2013 despite its flaws \u2013 i\u2019m so thankful for yelling to the sky . i may be a white woman and i may not have made the same choices sweetness made , but it showed me i wasn\u2019t alone . it felt cathartic watching .\nyelling\nis a prosaic look at a hard life . like sweetness , the movie finds its way by instinct .\nwhat i came to realize , hours after i first screened the film , was that , the initial unexplainable reaction i felt in watching it , was more akin to numbness \u2013 a numbness that was brought on by the assault on the senses and emotions that yelling to the sky is ; but that\u2019s actually a good thing , so stay with me here for a little bit .\nwriter - director victoria mahoney\u2019s film aims for rawness , shining a harsh spotlight on an underprivileged teen\u2019s desperate search for parental acceptance and personal dignity . but \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d is a mess . it\u2019s a structural shambles , as if the bleakest footage from the o\u2019hara family home videos were cut - up , shuffled , and blindly spliced back together without rhyme or reason . it\u2019ll have you yelling in exasperation .\nmovie reviews - ' yelling to the sky ' - a queens chronicle that ' s a little too lifelike writer - director victoria mahoney marries her experiences as a biracial woman to the drama of an unstable family in y elling to the sk y . critic mark jenkins says the film , which stars zoe kravtiz as a troubled teen , struggles to build convincing relationships among its disadvantaged characters .\naustin \u2014 an elliptical portrait of at - risk youth where little if anything is unambiguous , victoria mahoney \u2019s yelling to the sky drips with a strange but sometimes moving nostalgia for environs its characters clearly want to escape . its artful indirectness leaves enough gaps to present commercial difficulties , but the right kind of attention on the fest circuit could support an art - house run .\nnew yorkers ! you should feel privileged to have all of the cool events and showcases right at your fingertips . victoria mahoney\u2019s yelling to the sky is screening tomorrow , august 25th at lincoln center\u2019s walter reade theatre . the director and gabourey sidibe will be in the house and you\u2019ll be treated to some yummy bites from whole foods to keep you going . you may remember seeing the trailer that we posted here back in april , and now is your chance to see the story unfold in person .\nsure , some people may find yelling to the sky bleak or hopeless . it\u2019s heartbreaking to watch sweetness spiral out of control . sweetness clamors to escape , to break free . yet there\u2019s nowhere to go . echoing real - life , the film ends with ambiguity and uncertainty . you don\u2019t know how her life will turn out . sweetness\u2019 story \u2013 her struggle to survive amidst the chaos swirling around her , desperate to cling to any semblance of community \u2013 is one worth telling . and it\u2019s one we don\u2019t see often enough .\nyelling to the sky struck a visceral chord with me . i related to it in a way i often don\u2019t with films . i\u2019m not a biracial woman growing up impoverished , who turns to selling drugs as a means of survival . but i grew up with an absent father and a single mother struggling with mental illness , feeling trapped by my surroundings , desperate to break free .\nall this leaves little for the actors to play\u2014they are only directed to scowl , glare intensely at the ground , and occasionally cry . meanwhile , the camera lingers on a pot of gravy , or hands at the dinner table , or just the sky , in a misguided attempt to impart importance to the mundane . as sweetness casually dishes drugs to neighborhood kids , the schizo music shifts from indie guitar strumming to hardcore hip - hop . are we in \u201cdawson\u2019s creek\u201d or \u201cgirlz n the hood\u201d ?\nthe ambitions of indie coming - of - age drama \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d must be admired . set within a violent , lower - class suburb , it explores how a fractured home life nearly destroys teenager sweetness o\u2019hara ( zo\u00eb kravitz ) . with a verbally and physically abusive dad ( jason clarke ) , a mom ( yolonda ross ) made comatose by depression , and peers ( including gabourey sidibe ) who routinely beat her to a pulp , sweetness decides the only way to survive is to deal drugs .\nthe movie includes several fistfights , a shooting and a drug bust , plus a shoplifting montage that crackles with teenage recklessness . like the hip - hop tunes that punctuate the alt - pop and faux - classical soundtrack , these moments provide lively counterpoint . they also foreshadow showdowns and comeuppances that never quite arrive . perhaps the clearest evidence that yelling to the sky is based on mahoney ' s own life is that the movie lets its most troubled characters off pretty easy .\nyelling to the sky is a searing portrayal of one girl\u2019s pain . of her frustration at being confined and trapped in a world not her choosing . sweetness doesn\u2019t focus on her education or her future . she deals with the immediacy of her pain . she starts selling drugs as a way to make money . she numbs herself with drugs , alcohol and surrounding herself with a cadre of bullies and drug dealers . sweetness desperately yearns to escape . but where to ? where can she go ?\nwith zoe kravitz playing a character named sweetness and gabourey sidibe in a supporting role , street - chastened , queens - set coming - of - ager \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d will be hard - pressed to avoid comparisons to \u201cprecious . \u201d truth be told , writer - director - producer victoria mahoney\u2019s semi - autobiographical debut feels like a cup - half - full response to that bleak inner - city fable , with a stunningly beautiful fair - skinned black teen [ \u2026 ]\nhere\u2019s the info below , and click here to see the official event site .\nand given the roller - coaster of emotions the 90 - minute yelling to the sky is , from one extreme to another , the numbness i felt immediately after seeing the film made total sense ! but that\u2019s obviously a personal response than a universal one . i tend to \u201cshut down\u201d after experiencing something so intense \u2013 or as i already deemed it , an assault on the senses . call it a defense mechanism . it\u2019s like you\u2019ve been emotionally \u201cexposed\u201d by a piece of art , as it\u2019s able to force itself inside of you , and reach places that you\u2019d normally keep shielded . and thus , the immediate reaction there is to create this wall that\u2019s meant to keep the \u201cintruder\u201d ( the film ) out . hence , the numbness / shutting down .\nwhile light - skinned biracial and black women possess privilege , they may also face a backlash and be deemed not \u201c black enough . \u201d while the jarring opening scene of yelling to the sky certainly alludes to this , it is never explored further . instead , the film resorts to racial stereotypes : \u201c dark ( er ) - skinned black people are mean and like to victimize light ( er ) - skinned black people , \u201d \u201cgirls / teenagers / women who are \u201cauthentically\u201d black are bad\u201d and \u201cinterracial relationships are dysfunctional . \u201d\nin time , despite the violence and its threat , sweetness flounders into a sense of self in a movie that can feel as if it\u2019s undergoing a similar painful metamorphosis . \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d can be frustrating , especially when sweetness takes up with some mean girls from school . as an outsider wanting in , her motivations feel true , but ms . mahoney\u2019s ideas about her and this movie are fuzzier .\nthe vision of a pregnant woman beating a man until he\u2019s bloody is hard to shake , and it\u2019s the kind of startling , punctuating image that speaks to ms . mahoney\u2019s strengths in this film . \u201cyelling to the sky\u201d is at once a coming - of - age story and a kitchen - sink drama , mostly though , it\u2019s a mood piece and suggests the influence of filmmakers like terence davies and charles burnett . not much happens in story terms , but the film swirls with emotions that make it by turns grim and amusing , heavy and light , obvious and vague .\nthe former flotus also explained to ellen degeneres how barack stepped in and saved the day .\nbut the moment snaps into focus when another woman , ola , raging and yelling , begins beating the man attacking sweetness , climbing on his body to punch him again and again as the crowd surges excitedly around them . when this fury is finally pulled off the attacker , her pregnant belly juts out , defiant as a fist .\nhe said it didn ' t appear to be a tomahawk missile and said it would be safest to wait for definitive answers to come from the military .\nsweetness o\u2019hara , the quiet teenager at the center of the american independent movie \u201cyelling to the sky , \u201d lives in a small house that seems even smaller when her father is raging through it . as played by the young actress zo\u00eb kravitz , sweetness moves through life like a leaf in the wind . she drifts and scatters and at times gets caught underfoot , including by a gang of local bullies . every so often , though , she faces down a more frightening , confusing antagonist , her father , gordon ( jason clarke ) , a violent drunk whose menace overruns his erratic charm .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nenter your

while in the recording studio , they were typically given very few instructions \u2013 mostly suggestions as to mood and tone , with his intent being to essentially force the musicians to pay very

it may at first feel chaotic , but you\u2019ll soon come to realize , as i did some time after the screening , it\u2019s a controlled , contained chaos , if that makes sense . although another way to think about it , is taking into consideration that the unpredictability and uncertainty you feel in watching the film is exactly how you should feel , because victoria does a wonderful job creating the universe zoe kravitz\u2019s sweetness o\u2019hara lives in , both the physical and the psychological . hers is indeed a volatile , chaotic world , so , the fact that i was able to genuinely

resorting to stereotypes .\n\u201cstemming from my teenage obsession with chekov\u2019s three sisters and a connection to the theme of \u201cmanufacturing illusions in order to sustain day to day life . \u201d i related on a gut level to the notion of joy and opportunity , existing elsewhere while in the same breadth knowing it was a lie . the illusion of \u201cone day it\u2019ll be different\u201d is what kept me alive and smashing that illusion might\u2019ve been my death . putting this film out is important because ( yet another generation of ) young people are facing the exact same isolation

navigate . my mother was preoccupied by her own problems . i never knew what i was walking into when i went home . so i focused on the future . i clung to the hope that one day things would be different . that was the sole reason i survived . it\u2019s the one thing that kept me going . while my mind was fixated on the future , my actions were grounded in the present . like sweetness , i skipped classes and almost didn\u2019t graduate high school for i wanted to numb my pain . it\u2019s this delicate dance of present angst and future hopes that mahoney captures so well .\ntheir goal

after he falls for a young woman from philadelphia .\nsara colangelo\u2019s little accidents is one of the more arresting shorts on the festival circuit at the moment , both immediate and restrained in its tale of a woman working in a massachusetts soda drink factory who fears that she\u2019s become pregnant . she recruits her mentally disabled ex - boyfriend to shoplift a pregnancy test for her and bonds again with him as she struggles with what to do . \u201ci was interested in the juxtaposition of two people , one of whom is recently disabled and trying to reintegrate himself into society and who is the stable one , and the other a woman who may be pregnant and who is spinning out of control , \u201d colangelo says . \u201cand i was interested in the factory setting , which is almost a metaphor for motherhood . through the course of the short , you slowly realize that these people have a past , and that they dated once . i\u2019m always interested in withholding information from the audience . it becomes more interesting for them that way ; it gets their wheels turning . \u201d\nthe result is inevitably didactic , but also poetic in its choice of seemingly nonessential details , as in a scene that finds sweetness helping her father stitch up a bleeding head wound . these moments , like the colorful , cluttered house sweetness inhabits , feel lived - in enough to be lifted directly from mahoney\u2019s own experience and promise to linger in our memories long after the occasional awkwardness involved in conveying them onscreen is forgotten .\nit could be a test firing of

woman and the invisible woman have all appeared in recent blockbusters , they\u2019ve always played a supporting role ( dressed head to toe in leather bodysuits , might i add . ) so , now that we\u2019ve seen the success and importance of films like wonder woman , here is my list of female superheroes that truly deserve the big screen treatment . be warned , this list is long \u2013 but fantastic !\nfirst appearing in the 1940s when marvel was still timely comics , miss america was revamped in 2011 by joe casey and nick dragotta . this new miss america is a latina lgbtq + teenager named america chavez . so with miss america you don\u2019t only have a female superhero but you also have a woman of color who just happens to be part of the lgbtq + society . miss america was given her first solo comic book in march of 2017 so it may be a while before we see her on the big screen but i personally can\u2019t wait for that day to come .\npossible cast : diane guerrero ( orange is the new black ) ; seychelle gabriel ( falling skies ) ; christian serratos ( the walking dead ) . stephanie beatriz ( brooklyn nine - nine ) and gina rodriguez ( jane the virgin ) have already expressed interest in the role .\npossible cast : alexandra daddario ( true detective ) ; emilia clarke ( game of thrones ) ; maiara walsh ( the vampire diaries ) .\nmy personal favourite member of the teen titans , raven encompasses the perfect moody teenager . an empath and total badass , this teenage superhero deserves a shot at the big screen . half - demon and half - human , raven is the epitome of dark superheroines and would be a lovely foil to the overtly positive and bubbly superheroines that are more likely to grace screens . the titan is set to appear in an upcoming live action warner brothers television show but the series is still in its initial phases .\npossible cast : bex taylor - klaus ( mtv\u2019s scream ) ; hailee steinfeld ( pitch perfect 2 ) ; odeya rush ( the giver ) .\nwe have the cw series but i\u2019ve always felt that supergirl deserves to be on the big screen . supergirl / kara danvers was first introduced to readers in 1959 and physically embodies the classic girl next door . in reality , she is much more than that . strong , passionate and smart , it\u2019s only fair that supergirl get to grace the big screen \u2013 in the end her cousin superman has been doing it for decades !\npossible cast : nicola peltz ( bates motel ) ; evan rachel wood ( across the universe ) ; teresa palmer ( warm bodies ) .\nthis african superhero with the power to mimic the abilities of any animal who has ever lived on earth is currently portrayed by two actresses on two different television series . the classic vixen , also known as mari mccabe , is the star of the cw\u2019s web - series vixen while dc\u2019s legends of tomorrow features another iteration of vixen that is made to be mari\u2019s grandmother . nonetheless , vixen deserves a shot on the big screen and thanks to her powers , i can only imagine how awesome the visual effects would be !\npossible cast : freema agyeman ( sense8 ) ; rutina wesley ( true blood ) ; samira wiley ( orange is the new black ) .\nsilk\u2019s origin story may sound familiar : she was bitten by a radioactive spider during a demonstration of functional radioactive rays . yes , cindy moon , or silk as she comes to be known , was present when peter parker was bitten by the spider . in fact , she was bitten as well . the newest character on this list , silk was introduced to the world in 2014 and is set to appear in spider - man : homecoming .\npossible cast : anna kendrick ( pitch perfect ) ; shannon purser ( stranger things ) ; saoirse ronan ( the grand budapest hotel ) .\npossible cast : sophia taylor ali ( faking it ) ; summer bishil ( the magicians ) .\nso this isn\u2019t an independent superhero but rather a team of badass superheroines . debuted in 2015 , the a - force was cancelled due to bad sales despite positive critical reception . the story line and characters are \u2018decidedly feminist\u2019 . the team takes place in the \u2018secret wars\u2019 timeline , a marvel crossover in which all superhero teams have been disbanded . cue the a - force . all women , all badass , all the time . is it really too much to ask for ?\nmiddle - aged mama , i\u2019m aware both of the 84 supergirl and marvel have done a feature of elektra ( starring jennifer garner ) before they launched the mcu . i think i was just unclear that i intended for these to be superheroes introduced in the new mcu and dceu . should have been clearer about why i only included dc and marvel characters . hope you enjoyed the article nonetheless : )\nmy point still stands \u2013 at a budget of $ 35m in 1984 that\u2019s big bikkies for way back then , plus it had a big name cast . the author has not done her research . us middle - aged ducks know what\u2019s what . i agree helen is fabulous .\nhi middle aged mama the opening paragraph says \u2018the same scale\u2019 . helen slater\u2019s 1984 movie was hardly in the current superhero marvel / dm universe league . tho point taken helen is a fabulous person and still around fyi . love from another \u2018muddle - aged\u2019 mama ( not mad about the middle )\nyou do know that there already has been a supergirl movie , right ? admittedly a bit hokey but a feature nevertheless \u2013 in 1984 with helen slater , faye dunaway , peter o\u2019toole , mia farrow .\ndaily review is australia ' s go to source for engaging arts and entertainment news , reviews and commentary .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken"]}

wrong macarthur ? in april 1951 , with the war still underway - - an armistice wouldn\u2019t finally come until july 1953 - - he received a record - breaking 19 - mile - long ticker - tape parade through new york city in which 3 , 249 tons of paper rained down on him .\nup ( 98 % ) : \u201call this deflated cinema and pixarism mischaracterizes what good animation can be ( as in coraline , monster house , chicken little , teacher\u2019s pet , the iron giant ) . up\u2019s aesthetic failure stems from its emotional letdown . \u201d\nlincoln in washington , circa february 1865 . the photograph is by lewis emory walker . these and other images of this time show how much the president had aged during the civil war . he was only 56 when he was assassinated two months later by john wilkes booth .\nfor five seasons the crawley family has weathered scandal , war , and the impending threat of financial ruin . as their world continues to change all around them , they and their household staff are faced with two options -

brained\nproletarian\nwriter from the communist party , in 1930 . gold , in this book , had already lit on the idea of writing about himself as a fictional little boy . the idea may have come to him from reading isaac babel or other writers , probably in yiddish , who had been dabbling in autobiographical childhood fictions , back in the old world . gold ' s inspiration was to chronicle the adventures of little\nmikey gold\nfrom ages 5 to 12 , as viewed in sorrowful retrospect by his adult self . the plot , to the degree that\njews without money\nhas a plot , shows little mikey roaming around the lower east side , circa 1900 , growing an inch at a time and slowly discovering that his beloved father , coincidentally named herman , is merely a humble man of puny strength - - a stout - hearted father overwhelmed by powerful anti - semitic social forces , and berated by his superior , the jewish doctor , for failing to bow before his christian oppressors . and what was michael gold ' s purpose in sending little mikey around the jewish streets to make this childhood discovery ?\nsouth park \u2018s major problem with family guy is the insert gag . in \u201ccartoon wars , \u201d the fictional episode of family guy seems to be a string of ( uncharitably flat ) cutaway jokes that do not relate to the narrative action . for south park , these gags are not funny because they are \u201crandom , \u201d not because the joke isn\u2019t funny . the \u201crandomness\u201d interrupts the diegetic reality of the central emotional narrative of the episode by diverting the plot ( momentarily ) into a parallel universe without a causal or physical relationship with the narrative universe . since the jokes can never change the circumstances of the central narrative , they are without emotional weight . the audience is not permitted to relate to these gags as anything other than cleverness . it is the narrative equivalent of a stand - up monologue , rather than improv theatre .\nconsider , for instance , afghanistan in 2009 . things had been going poorly indeed in what was already an eight - year - old war . and so our nation turned its lonely eyes to him - - general stanley mcchrystal , a special operator fresh off a tour tracking down and killing al - qaeda in iraq\u2019s leadership , including abu musab al - zarqawi .\nthe anti - semitism roth describes in the 1940 ' s springs mostly from an antiwar resentment - - from the belief that the jews , and not the nazis , bear responsibility for the war , and are trying to advance their own narrow interests at everyone else ' s expense . and perhaps a bit of this has likewise turned up in our own time . during the last two or three years , large publics in western europe and even in the united states have taken up the view that , if extremist political movements have swept across large swaths of the muslim world , and if baathists and radical islamists have slaughtered literally millions of people during these last years , and then have ended up at war with the united states , israel and its crimes must ultimately be to blame . and if america has been drawn into war in iraq , it is because president bush ' s second - level foreign policy advisers include a few jews ( though all of his top - level advisers are protestants ) , and these second - level figures have manipulated everyone else to the bidding of ariel sharon .\nthe military in latin america , they\u2019re the ones who make me work harder . if they get out , if there were a change , then i could rest a little and work on poems and stories that are exclusively literary . but it\u2019s they who give me work to do . the more they are there , the more i must be against them .\nsure , we only go there once a year ( folkie ! ) and we refuse to drink the water , but port fairy is like our cool little cousin who ' s fun to hang around with but we only see at christmas time . and secretly we all want to retire there ( but none of us will be able to afford it ) .\nlincoln in washington , months after he decided to grow a beard and soon after the civil war began in 1861 . frederick h . meserve\nunderstood the value in keeping his images away from any type of light ,\nsaid his great -

more like not - so - fantastic bore . burn ! \u201d ) , but there\u2019s nothing enjoyable about da hip hop witch . it\u2019s a chore to watch , like an improv act performed by people from the audience . it\u2019s one of the many spoofs to emerge in the wake of the blair witch project ( see also the black witch project , the bogus witch project and bigfoot caught on tape ) that interpreted that film\u2019s success to mean that anyone can create a hit movie with no budget , a bare - bones script , a camcorder and no conclusive ending . da hip hop witch might be the bottom of the barrel , though , and worst of all , it\u2019s not really even a horror movie .\nixak : you\u2019re originally from the palestinian town of lydda , but after slingshot hip - hop came out you moved to baltimore . what brought you here ?\nresteghini hopes that the audience will get wrapped up in the mystery . he tries to create intrigue by making us question whether or not da hip hop witch is fact or fiction . at times it seems as if the producers did indeed make her up . other times we get a pov shot of the supposed witch hunting down rappers and huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf . a rap version of \u201clittle red riding hood\u201d may have been more enjoyable .\ni have seen some bottom - of - the - barrel hip hop / gangsta movies ( for example\nthe wrecking crew\nand\nhood angels\n) but this one is more like a hole in the barrel . if i someday make a list of worst hip hop films , this will rank in the top positions .\ns : i stay connected with the hip - hop scene , activists and artists in palestine mostly by following online news and speaking to friends . i try to keep up with everything but the hip - hop scene in the middle east is growing so fast , i doubt that i have the whole progress updated in my knowledge system .\njust the opportunity to talk to one of the original hip hop legends from its earliest days in the bronx is enough to get me amped for a gre . . .\nand eminem saying things like\noh yeah , i saw the witch . she was scary !\nthere\u2019s also a subplot about five white people ( and their pug ) from salem , massachusetts who travel down to new york city to find da hip hop witch and receive a cash reward . they\u2019re constantly forgotten about , only to reappear when it suit\u2019s the plot . for instance , they\u2019re brought back near the end to redo the famous tent scene , but the humor involved is so lame you wish they remained forgotten about .\nin december of 1989 , in the newark projects , there were a series of unsolved attacks and one murder . residents claimed that it was an angry spirit , who became known as the\nblack witch of the projects .\nten years later the attacks began again . this time occuring in every inner city project and on the east coast . and targeting every rap star in the hip hop scene . an aspiring resporter was determined to find out the truth . and five white kids and a pug from the suburbs embark on a quest to find the infamous hip hop witch .\nthis and other work brought her and her associates to the attention of filmmaker jackie reem salloum who was shooting a documentary about palestinian hip hop in israel and the occupied territories . the film ,\nclick this link to read my short & sweet guide to getting yourself a record player . . . and join the real hip - hop nation already . it ' s good times over here .\nspoof inside the world of hip - hop / rap . filmmaker dale resteghini has directed a number of music videos for rap artists , as well as several independently produced low - budget films such as the racial drama\nda ' hip - hop wizzard of oz is a modernized version of\nthe wizard of oz .\nthis is an original play written by laquette milner and is a fun family event which incorporates the hip - hop culture with the appreciation of the other performing arts disciplines . dorothy is your average teenager who enjoys school and dreams of making it big as a\nstar .\nher dreams , however , are not supported by everyone around her . will she give up on her dreams ? before she can answer that question , dorothy is mysteriously taken to a hip - hop influenced land of oz . there , dorothy accidentally kills the wicked witch of the eastside and is granted the dead witch ' s enchanted ruby converse . dorothy then meets some new friends ( the scarecrow , the tinman , and the lion ) and together they travel down the yellow brick road , through the land of oz to the emerald city of dance in hopes of gaining the things they lack from the great wizzard of oz . but he will only grant their wishes if dorothy kills the wicked witch of the westside . what will dorothy decide to do ? come take this journey with dorothy !\nat some point , the filmmakers redesigned the dvd cover art to feature eminem ( he tried unsuccessfully to have himself removed from the film altogether ) , which is deceptive to say the least , but i say anyone who\u2019d rent an eminem movie deserves what they get . unfortunately , da hip hop witch represents a growing portion of the direct - to - video horror market : interloping non - horror opportunists looking to get over by tricking people into renting ( or god forbid , buying ) movies with snazzy or misleading box covers .\npnl - da . titre exclu du nouvel album dans la l\u00e9gende , maintenant disponible sur toutes les plateformes : itunes : playstore . bizi takip etmek ve toplulu\u011fumuza kat\u0131lmak i\u00e7in ; abone olun ! \u25bb subscribe ! \u25bb * * * * scorp uygulamas\u0131n\u0131 \u00fccretsiz . pink und carey hart sind eltern eines keinen jungen geworden . das baby tr\u00e4gt den sch\u00f6nen namen jameson moon .

! ! . \u0094 to expect that there might be any consistency between their descriptions of the witch would probably be too much to ask in such a film . it would probably be even less to ask for any kind of rationale or explanation as to why the witch is attacking rappers as opposed to any other segment of the population .\n. meanwhile , there ' s scene after scene of a group of music producers ( actors , this time ) brainstorming a gimmick they can get rich off of . and then , there ' s a long , terrible segment about a fake hip - hop news show , which seems to have been filmed in the offices of\nleans out of his car window to tell us he ' s on the hunt for the witch , somehow , some way , which never connects to anything else in the film .\n) , the first lady of palestinian hip hop . sabreena , grew up in the israeli town of lydda ( lod ) , the site of one of the largest mass expulsions of palestinian civilians in the israeli 1948 israeli war of independence . as a palestinian woman with israeli citizenship growing up in an ethnically mixed town she grew up with a unique perspective on a familiar conflict .\nso yeah , just to reiterate , none of the rappers really interact with the plot or the central film . we just cut to them over and over for some completely unrelated commentary . they do make some attempt to connect them , which only makes things even dumber , by saying that the hip - hop reporter is being locked out of the rappers ' offices ( for fear that she might be the witch ! ) , so only her cameraman is allowed inside . so that ' s why nobody from one set of footage ever interacts with the people in the other set - it ' s all part of the story !\nknock - off / parody . secondly , it ' s one of those hip - hop pseudo - documentaries that ' s really just comprised off rappers caught off guard giving quick drops to a dude with a camcorder . both , taken on their own , would make for pretty detestable films . but combined , they ' re cinematic gibberish . we get random footage where it ' s not even clear how it ' s supposed to connect or relate to the other footage we ' ve seen .\nthe stars reveal their personal accounts with a supernatural terror , and true to the form of the original , some of the cast members eventually wind up disappearing . eminem manages to duck the witch by locking himself in slim shady studios with flip mode squad ' s spliff star until the coast is clear .\nthey all appear as themselves in the film , giving ad - libbed testimonies of their encounters with \u201cthe black witch of the projects , \u201d who\u2019s supposedly terrorizing rappers all along the east coast ( she must be from compton . west side ! ) . weeded - up rappers ad libbing ? what could possibly go wrong ? as you\u2019d expect , the monologues are stammering messes that test the limits of how many \u201cknowwhatimean\u201ds and \u201cy\u2019knowwhati\u2019msayin\u201ds one human can ingest , and more than once , they end with the witch sticking a finger up the rapper\u2019s ass . these segments , incidentally , account for half of the movie .\nrecords players are cheap , plentiful and easy to come by . i understand if you ' re living in a shelter or your car ; but if you can get yourself an ipod , an x - box , a dvd player and a laptop , there is no reason why a such a self - respecting hip - hop head shouldn ' t have a record player . trust me , there ' s no reason to be intimidated by the various models , features , etc . unless you ' re a hardcore dj , you really don ' t need to know about types of drives , needles , etc .\n, of course em ) . we even get to the out house studio and all ; but it ' s basically worthless , because they don ' t get to say anything except these stupid , meaningless and inconsistent anecdotes about a fictitious black witch . it being such a frustrating , wasted opportunity is the insult on top of the injury .\nso , somehow the gang from salem hear that the music producers who need a gimmick are offering ten million dollars for the witch because it ' s regularly attacking their artist , so they go to new york . oh , and this film also keeps cutting to some girl looking out her window . i can ' t figure out who she was supposed to be . there ' s a montage of the reporter reading different articles from an issue of\nthe movie is shot with handheld cameras in faux documentary style ( = it looks like crap ) . it looks as if the cameramen were just as stoned as the rappers . frankly , most home movies look better than this . plotwise ( when it finally gets going in the last twenty minutes ) it is a rough parody of ' blair witch project ' and one of the terrible ripoffs that tried to piggyback on the popularity of the original .\nthe premise , such as it is , is that there ' s a blair woods - like witch that used to haunt newark . it ' s come back now ten years later ( later then what ? who knows ) and only kills rappers . oh , and it now appears in every inner city across the world , a line only explained by a title to card , presumably to justify the cameos from rappers from other cities . so we get random footage of rappers like\nwas promptly released worldwide featuring his face on the cover and promoting him as the star , even though his appearance maybe constitutes only around 10 minutes of footage . ( for some peculiar reason , the scenes where he appears drinking and smoking have all had the labels on the alcohol and the cigarettes digitised out ) . eminem is the only one of the artists who gets into the deadpan spirit of the exercise and rambles on in a peculiar way where he keeps repeating everything he says twice and tells an amusing anecdote about the witch sticking her finger up his ass . ( his peculiar fascination with and continuing to return to this act does kind of make one wonder exactly what this guy\u0092s personal sexual peccadilloes are ) . on the other hand , the other most famous rapper present , vanilla ice , tries to get into the same spirit of telling a deadpan tall tale but fails badly .\n\u00a9 2018 viacom international inc . all rights reserved . mtv and all related titles and logos are trademarks of viacom international inc .\nslim shady offered more than $ 4 million to co - star in reworked ' lazarus , ' according to variety .\nit could happen , as eminem has reportedly been offered more than $ 4 million to join dmx in the cast of\nlazarus ,\na project originally intended as the fourth film in\nthe crow\nfranchise .\nvariety reports that eminem has been eyed to portray dmx ' s evil nemesis in\nlazarus ,\nthe premise for which incorporates some of the supernatural , life - after - death themes from the three\ncrow\nflicks .\nwhen dmx agreed to take over a role in\nlazarus\nlast july , he was to star as a rapper slain in a drive - by shooting who returns from the grave to exact revenge on the gang who gunned him down ( see\ndmx signs on to resurrect ' the crow ' film series\n) .\ndespite the plot shakeup , veteran video director joseph kahn is still on board to direct\nlazarus ,\nwith edward r . pressman producing the flick for his pressman film corp .\na spokesperson for pressman films had no comment on whether eminem has been approached about\nlazarus ,\nwhile representatives for eminem have yet to respond to inquiries about the movie offer .\nas for dmx , he ' s currently serving a 15 - day sentence at the erie county correctional facility in alden , new york , for a traffic violation he pleaded guilty to last march , although the rapper could be released as early as tuesday ( see dmx finally turns himself in for jail term\n) .\nbecause he waited more than two weeks before surrendering to authorities , dmx is also facing a contempt of court charge that could land him back in jail for up to a year \u0097 but the rapper plans to keep busy immediately following his release from prison , despite the new potential legal woes .\non march 9 , dmx plans to attend the new york premiere of his new film ,\nexit wounds ,\nafter which he ' s expected to perform an hour - long set at a post - screening party at the rainbow room .\ndmx has contributed a new song , titled\nno sunshine ,\nto the\nexit wounds\nsoundtrack , and even managed to complete a video for the track prior to turning himself in .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nhotel transylvania 3 : summer vacation stars plan their dream summer getaways to some memorable movie settings .\nwant to share imdb ' s rating on your own site ? use the html below .\n10 of 15 people found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? yes no | report this\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 .\ndeeper understanding is proud to present what might be the worst movie we ' ve ever seen . . . and we have seen things . thanks to megan for sending us this gem !\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / / en\nurltoken\nhey all , the rap genius forum is temporarily closed . this means no new threads or posts can be created\nso um\u2026 i noticed the other thread had 2k + posts so i thought now would be a suitable time to um . . create\nyo , this was a really rough time , homiez . been contribuiting a lot to this website in the last months\nwhat\u2019s your favorite song from the black panther soundtrack so far ? i\u2019d go with king\u2019s dead .\nsweaecation was garbage bruh . it was so hard to make it to the end fr . swae literally wasnt even trying\nactually i think it was yesterday or something but idgf . kool keith\u2019s solo debut , underground classic . it\nconvinced my friends to rent this at a movie night when it was relatively new , they still rip on me for it .\n@ bygdreams \u201cshe tried to stick her finger up my ass . \u2026her fingers were like 6 feet long\u201d\ni remember when it came out but i could never bring myself to watch this bullshit .\nwhat the fuck is this even about ? lol , at least jackass made sense .\n[ check out my fave website ] ( http : / / genius . com )\nkinja is in read - only mode . we are working to restore service .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute !

shortly after the film finished shooting she moved to the us , settling in baltimore maryland .\nsabreena : there were many reasons that led to my immigration in 2007 . the final decision was made when i met my partner ben in jerusalem . ben is from baltimore and we chose baltimore - his hometown - as our first base city . i have been living here since then and there is no other city in the states i would rather live in . baltimore is perfect for me , i love it .\ns : no , unfortunately i did not get the chance to visit home yet .\nmany rappers and r & b artists in palestine get in touch with me through e mail . i trade cds with many of them . sometimes we collaborate on projects or debate life . there are many talented people out there .\ni : as a female performer in a male - dominated scene , coming from a culture that is strongly patriarchal , that is itself subordinate to a government that has little regard for your culture and ethnicity puts you under something of a triple - whammy of disadvantage . you\u2019re in a rather unenviable position . where do you look for inspiration ?\ns : i am constantly inspired by people , official artists and not . at times i am inspired by some of the men from my society , inspired by some israeli people and whomever might be considered \u201con the other side\u201d of my point of view . i draw inspiration from the joy and struggle of the oppressed and the ignorance and humanity of the oppressor .\ni : the last six months have seen unprecedented upheaval across the arabic speaking world , from morocco all the way to oman , and it\u2019s happened differently in every country , but with the exception of the two border - crossings / shootings in the golan , there really hasn\u2019t been clear manifestation of the arab spring in the palestinian sphere , either in israel or in the occupied territories ( except maybe the hamas / fateh unification talks , which seem to be more of an effort to protect their own weakening power structures ) .\ns : i think it\u2019s all the things you said , all together . combined .\ni believe that palestinians have been uprising since 1948 and they never really stopped . furthermore i believe that the palestinian issue and the activism around the crises has in part empowered and inspired many of the protesters in the arab world and beyond . one of the many reasons egyptians , tunisians syrians , libyans and other protesters are out , is their disapproval of their countries relationship with israel , the united states and other colonizing forces in the region .\nas for why the palestinian spring is not as strong as the others , it\u2019s very hard to point at one reason , mostly because i haven\u2019t been there in a long time . i can tell you however the different opinions i have been hearing from friends and colleagues .\nsome friends of mine think that what\u2019s happening in libya and syria is a result of lack of organization . people saw egypt and tunis and reacted without planning well for the coming . that could be the reason why some palestinian activists are not ready . maybe they are planning for a more organized and powerful resistance that will not cost them many casualties .\nother friends of mine say that some of the palestinian people are starting to accept slowly that palestine might never be free and the israelis have too much support in the world to behave as it wishes . and that a third \u201cintifada\u201d is not the right solution .\nas far as i\u2019m concerned we haven\u2019t seen the end of the battle , the arab spring might last for a while before fair and just reforms are made . i don\u2019t see the palestinian people giving up anytime soon , but they might consider not to engage in a third intifada for now . that might change . we will see .\ni : something that often comes up when palestinian protests in israel and the occupied territories are being discussed is the issue of nonviolence . people are quick to say things like \u201cthe palestinians need to give up their support of terrorism and take up nonviolence\u201d \u2013 completely ignoring the fact that there has been an active nonviolence movement there for decades ( ignored by the media as well ) . lately , however , it seems that the nonviolent protests are getting a bit more traction and a bit more visibility . do you think this is the case ?\ns : well yes and no . yes , because it\u2019s true there have been more attention toward palestinian nonviolent movements , and that i think is mainly a result of the modern technology . every event now is on live broadcast , people can see for themselves if it\u2019s violent or not . you don\u2019t need reporters for everything these day . social networks now provide first hand testimony which helps to develop faster changes in the point of view of the public opinion .\nno , because i believe that the public opinion is always somewhere in the middle about palestine and the movement associated with it . it might take a decade before more people will tell you palestinians are not terrorists . and that\u2019s not because of ignorance or apathy , it\u2019s simply a matter of convenience . to fit in .\ni : looking at the various revolutionary movements that are becoming active through the arab - speaking world , particularly during these past six months , the youth - dominated nature of the protests is one of the most immediately evident characteristics . certainly there are people of all ages , but the heavy lifting is being done by people in their twenties , ( and teens and thirties ) . people are continually talking about this from a political perspective \u2013this obsession with politics ignores the fact that the \u201cyouth bubble\u201d is going to shape the middle east for the next several decades \u2013 what do you see in the future ? what does the next generation look like in the middle east ?\ns : i am not good at predicting the future . but i\u2019m generally a believer of balance . where there will be good results there will be bad and vice versa .\ndc -

president , served on the eight member literary panel . of the 161 , 000 entries , the jury selected the following ideal cast : leslie howard as david copperfield ; cedric hardwicke as micawber ; donald calthrop as uriah heep ; may robson as aunt betsy ; gordon harker as barkis ; elizabeth allan as dora ; diana wynyard as agnes ; victoria hopper as little em ' ly ; mrs . patrick campbell as mrs . micawber ; fredric march as steerforth ; and edmund gwenn as mr . peggotty .\nmost critics have tended to prefer the first half of the movie , focusing on the young david , and felt the film\u2019s power fizzles out somewhat later on . i would have to agree with that , although there is still plenty to enjoy in the second half . in many films which begin with childhood , i find myself waiting eagerly for the moment where the child star disappears and the adult takes over . in david copperfield it is the other way round , and i feel a pang when freddie bartholomew disappears , because he is so perfect as the young david , reacting with such sensitivity to each larger - than - life character who whirls into the story . we not only see them , but see him watching them . as david thomson comments in his book have you seen\u2026 ? , bartholomew \u201cis the eyepiece for the movie\u201d .\nwe are friends for life .\nthe man speaking : micawber , played by w . c . fields with great comedic charm and human warmth . the child addressed : david , played by freddie bartholomew in his hollywood debut . the movie : david copperfield , still one of the best -

to - screen adaptations ever .\nat once an incredibly funny and depressing adaptation of the great novel , david copperfield shows us a goodhearted man who is put on the earth to suffer and watch everyone around him suffer , as though he is the carrier of some emotional and dramatic infection . for anyone skeptical of watching a 2 hour dickens adaptation from cukor , w . c . fields alone makes the film worth watching and should be the prime example of how to cast and wield the talents of comedic actors in dramatic roles .\nfreddie bartholomew is perfect as young copperfield and would work for selznick in additional literary adaptations , anna karenina ( 1935 ) and little lord fauntleroy ( 1936 ) . frank lawton , even if you don ' t like him as an adult copperfield , is wonderful as an adult freddie bartholomew . not as good as tyrone power turns the trick in lloyds of london ( 1936 ) , but frank lawton isn ' t ty power , there ' s a bit of a charisma gap there . he ' s excellent with o ' sullivan whom he moons over until he eventually blows up at her and he does a fine job of putting heep in his place on more than one occasion .\nmr . micawber : [ to young copperfield ] boy , as i have frequently had occasion to observe ,\nwhen the stomach is empty , the spirits are low .\nsee more \u00bb\na 19th century version of a road trip , david copperfield feels rushed at times with a cavalcade of characters , each with their own baggage of melodrama quickly appearing , playing their part , and then disappearing . it ' s good that so many people died in the 19th century because it certainly made for convenient plot twists . the speed of the film takes away any emotional satisfaction of the ending , which really communicates how much better dickens is on the page , or at least as a multi -

cukor classic dinner at eight ( 1933 ) than i did in her quiet role of agnes in copperfield .\ncompressing a long dickens novel into a single film is a tall order . with many such productions , the most immediately striking thing to a keen reader of the book is how much has been missed out \u2013 and , at every turn , you find yourself regretting a character or a plot twist that has been lost . by contrast , in george cukor\u2019s celebrated adaptation , starring freddie bartholomew as the young david and frank lawton as the adult , i\u2019m struck by just how much he has managed to include . i\u2019ve read that originally producer david o selznick , who was a passionate fan of the novel , had thought about making two movies , dealing with david\u2019s childhood and adulthood separately . this might have worked even better \u2013 but the single film we have crams an awful lot into its 131 - minute running time .\nthank you , r . d . , much appreciated . i\u2019m interested to hear you say this is the best hollywood dickens and agree it compares with lean . i do like some of the other american films too , though \u2013 1935 was such a great year for adaptations of his work , with this film , \u2018a tale of two cities\u2019 and \u2018edwin drood\u2019 in hollywood , and the british film \u2018scrooge\u2019 with seymour hicks all released in the space of that one year . i agree that the whole cast is wonderful in this , and the choice of fields for micawber was inspired \u2013 hard to imagine laughton in the role though i\u2019m sure he would have been great too .\njudy , what a wonderful post on a wonderful movie . for me this is the only hollywood version of dickens that is in the same league as the best british versions , like david lean\u2019s two dickens films . i\u2019ve heard of many people , including the film\u2019s director george cukor , who feel the second half of the film is weaker than the first half . i\u2019ve never had that reaction myself . i do think that perhaps the experiences of the victimized child are simply more emotionally engaging than those of the adult writer .\nthe best film version of d . copperfield . . . dickens ' allows us a glimpse into england during the industrial revolution . . . his themes of redemption and the loss of innocence play out masterfully . . . outstanding cast . . . once upon a time d . c . was compulsory reading in high school . . . sadly , this is no longer the case . . .\nenough years pass for freddie bartholomew to grow into frank lawton , another british born actor who ' d previously appeared in the cast of 1934 academy award winning best picture cavalcade ( 1933 ) . lawton is very believable as an adult version of bartholomew , especially considering most audiences had little to no previous knowledge of either actor at the time of david copperfield ' s release .\ni agree with your point that the film\u2019s 2nd half is weaker . partly i think that has to do with a lackluster frank lawton as the adult david ; he has nowhere near the appeal or presence of freddie bartholomew , who beautifully conveys both the adventure and pathos of david\u2019s childhood ( the scene of him screaming in terror during a thunderstorm when his mother dies remains in the mind ) . i also think that it may have to do with the novel itself ; the adult david is pretty much a passive onlooker in much of the 2nd half\u2019s plot , particularly with the dramatic steerforth / peggotty / em\u2019ly / ham episodes . i\u2019m a great dickens\u2019 fan , but that flaw in the novel\u2019s 2nd half has always bothered me .\njames l . neibaur of urltoken calls it :\none of the most interesting and important film books of the young year ,\nadding ,\nthe documentation is original and significant .\nfull review .\nselznick wrote mgm vice -

production news articles spoke of the enormous effort m - g - m undertook to find four children to play david copperfield and little em ' ly at various ages . studio ads led to the recruitment of over three hundred children , of whom m - g - m found only six who could speak with the required cultured accent . though the second prerequisite , that the child be of british birth , was met by none of the applicants , the studio announced that it would assign the six finalists to bit parts . among the many boys who were considered for the title role were david holt , who was to be borrowed from paramount , and an english boy named peter trent . two days prior to the start of production ,\nthanks very much , sam \u2013 the review was a bit of a rush as i wanted to take part in the blogathon , but i\u2019m trying to make my reviews a bit more concise anyway ! i do love the whole film even though i think the first half is the strongest . agreed on dickens\u2019 naming for murdstone being perfect for the character , and it also fits in nicely with david\u2019s birthplace of blunderstone ( the usual spelling is blundeston ) in suffolk . i can\u2019t claim much credit for the pictures as they are studio publicity shots which i found around on the net \u2013 i especially like the one of david and dora in their wedding clothes with jip . thanks again , sam , much appreciated as ever .\nfields biographer james curtis writes that it was felt fields would strengthen the domestic gate while laughton would do likewise in the united kingdom ( 311 ) . for its investment just over a million dollars the film wound up being a huge hit , grossing $ 2 . 8 million during its 86 - week run with a quarter of that number coming directly from british commonwealth countries ( schatz 169 ) . fields would reap some of the best reviews of all the copperfield cast with cast mate roland young telling him he\nwalked away with the picture\n( curtis 320 ) .\napparently pawle ' s performance as the bizarre mr . dick has thus far escaped modern audiences as he manages to be the only member of the large david copperfield cast listed on wikipedia without a link to his own biographical page ( okay , each little em ' ly performer only has a link to a stub , but pawle lacks even that ! ) . his imdb bio is empty except for the curious bit of information that he was married to dorothy parker which made me start digging ! real quick , it ' s not that dorothy parker .\ni quite like lawton and agree his scenes with maureen o\u2019sullivan ( and the wonderful little dog cast as jip ) are great , but i do find him a little colourless after bartholomew in the first half of the film . agreed on young and oliver , and indeed the whole cast .\n) and a long version ( 133 minutes ) . a biography of selznick notes that studio head louis b . mayer requested that the film be cut following a negative audience response to the first preview , which was held in bakersfield , ca . selznick cut two reels from the picture by eliminating lionel barrymore ' s role . at a santa ana , ca , preview of the cut version , selznick reportedly interviewed four women , all schoolteachers who had seen the film , and based his decision to retain the longer version on their objections to the omission of the peggotty character .\nthe stories of bartholomew ' s coming to america and mgm are a bit murky with what seems to be the likely case being the shadiest story of the bunch . selznick and cukor had spent a good deal of time in britain in advance of david copperfield , for while it was largely being filmed at mgm studios they wanted to get as much of a feel for dickens ' homeland as possible . during one of these trips they learned of freddie bartholomew and either led him to believe he had the part or actually offered it to him then and there .\njudy \u2013 you continue to expose my shortcomings . i have yet to see this film though tcm has recently had it on twice in the past couple of months . i only recently watched lean\u2019s great expectations recently and loved it . will have to catch up with this . a delightful review .\nthis immaculately cast and designed david o selznick production for mgm remains the definitive version of charles dickens ' s vaguely autobiographical classic novel . while basil rathbone is mr murdstone to a t , and there couldn ' t possibly be any other aunt betsey trotwood than edna may oliver , the real casting coups are lennox pawle ' s perfect mr dick ( avoiding any sentimentality ) and roland young ' s ubiquitous uriah heep . if the great wc fields makes micawber a star turn , it ' s no bad thing , and both freddie bartholomew and frank lawton as the young and the grown - up david , respectively , could not be bettered . this film is a richly entertaining reminder of what hollywood , and especially mgm , did best . but then , its source was pretty good , too .\nwho had the fun role of dora , a girl david falls for hard while at the ballet with his school chum steerforth ( hugh williams ) . dora is no doubt beautiful but also dumb as a stump . in fact my extremely abbreviated notes for\nwhile pawle seems anonymous today his times obituary remarked on how his\nsnow - white hair , rosy , cherubic countenance and monocle\nwas then\nfamiliar to the theatrical worlds of london , new york and hollywood . in all three groups he had an unusually large number of friends .\nafter some sporadic appearances on the british screen , pawle was in a handful of productions of fox films in america in 1929 and then had small parts in mgm ' s the sin of madelon claudet and mata hari ( both 1931 ) . after what should have been his breakout role as mr . dick for mgm he played small parts in the gay deception for fox and then in an uncredited role for copperfield director george cukor in sylvia scarlett ( 1935 ) . he died february 23 , 1936 of a cerebral hemorrhage . lennox pawle was 63 .\navailable on amazon for just 99\u00a2 -

unit shot of david walking to canterbury , was filmed in england , and that the dover scenes were filmed in california , near malibu .\nhis most famous part on the stage was in pomander walk which brought him to the united states for the first time in 1910 with the first u . s . production opening in april 1911 . pomander walk was written by louis n . parker , pawle ' s father - in - law . pawle ' s wife , dorothy parker , also acted , and played the part of little em ' ly in her father ' s 1914 production of the highway of life , a work based on david copperfield . pawle would get rave notices for playing micawber in the highway of life ( o . p . heggie played uriah heep ) .\n. according to the correspondence of producer david o . selznick between march and april 1934 , selznick originally wanted to film the entire picture in england , and later wanted to make two complete pictures out of the story . releasing two pictures instead of one was estimated to cost an additional $ 100 , 000 . according to production information furnished by the studio ' s publicity department , over the course of a year , seven scenarios were written and discarded before one was finally considered ideal for the story . three unacceptable scenarios were written before cukor and scenarist howard estabrook decided to travel to england to become better acquainted with the dickensian scene .\nthat should absolve frank lawton from much of the blame , which is good , because i find myself gaining more of an appreciation for lawton ' s performance as copperfield as young adult with each viewing . it ' s tough to trump freddie bartholomew though , even here in his american debut , and lawton can ' t . no adult actor could and i believe the reason stretches beyond even dickens ' original text simply to the idea that the nostalgia of childhood is going to effect the viewer more than one ' s remembrances of their early twenties . cap that idea with bartholomew ' s mastery of the heartstrings and conveyance of expressions well beyond his twelve years and no one could touch his david of youth .\njacqueline t . lynch , author of ann blyth : actress . singer . star . , says :\na prime example of a classic film fan taking the reins to produce a scholarly study of a neglected figure from the golden age of classic films in a way that i feel is refreshing , infinitely helpful to fans and students of old movies .\nfull review .\nyou make an interesting point about the novel \u2013 i hadn\u2019t thought of david as a passive onlooker , since he is the one who brings steerforth to see the peggottys , having failed to spot the flaws in his character during their schooldays , but it is something to think about on my next re - reading . : )\nthis is a light treatment of a great novel by charles dickens . it is enjoyable , but i bought it to see the performance of that great comic w . c . fields . like most good comedians who turn to dramatic acting he did his turn excellently well . if you don ' t like the comic style of fields you may still enjoy his acting in this film .\nthanks for your terrific post . i love both fields and young in this film ; they\u2019re so dickensian ! i\u2019m surprised that mgm would consider cutting lionel barrymore\u2019s scenes . not only is his character important to the plot , but barrymore was a popular star ( he was also associated with dickens , performing an annual reading of \u2018a christmas carol\u2019 on the radio ) and would have been an audience draw .\ni find myself \u201cspoiled\u201d for these shorter films since the long mini - series on tv . it\u2019s hard for them to compete in terms of time as well as filming on location . but individual movies can transcend their limitations . i\u2019m wondering if the second half of this film not somehow \u201cdoing it\u201d is the result of modern minds interacting with dickens\u2019s own way of presenting adult love , child - like versus sensible women ( all of course virtuous and sexually innocent ) . what andrew davies and sandy welch do is really update the characters subtly and modern frank psychological acting does the rest . since they omitted the darkest aspects of david\u2019s childhood & had basil rathbone as an archetype , would you say there was an attempt to make a more upbeat story than in dickens\u2019s first half ?\njudy , i would add the hollywood a tale of two cities to the dickens mix of films that stood alongside the best british dickens adaptations , but there is no question at all that this wonderful film of the novel that dickens always called the favorite of his works , works on all the levels you attest to , especially the casting . bartholomew is as engaging here as he is in captains courageoous , and fields does make one forget about laughton , which is inconceivable . rathbone is perfect as murdstone ( one of dickens\u2019 best named characters ! ) as is lionel barrymore as peggotty . ( nice choice there for favorite oerformace , judy ) it\u2019s lovingly mounted ( great , ravishing screen caps ! and though it is admittedly stronger in the first half , one comes away fullfilled . it remains a movie landmark for all sorts of reasons , and you have done the film glorious justice with a magnificent review .\nreported that the studio was unable to confirm that freddie bartholomew would play the young david because bartholomew ' s father refused to sign the boy ' s permit to leave england . in case the bartholomew deal fell through , m - g - m kept david holt available for the part and continued to teach him how to speak with an english accent . some contemporary sources claimed that between nine and ten thousand young boys from america , canada , england and every english - speaking colony were interviewed for the title role . according to a modern biography of selznick , after failing to dissuade selznick from making the picture , louis mayer asked that american child actor and m - g - m contract star jackie cooper be cast in the title role . an advertisement placed in the september 1 , 1934 issue of\nthe problem was that british child labor laws forbade mgm ' s exporting bartholomew to america and putting him to work . bartholomew and his guardian , his aunt millicent , sailed to new york , presumably on a vacation . according to later press reports , no doubt fed directly from the studio , when they saw that mgm was auditioning for david copperfield they headed west on a lark to land the part . selznick seems to give away the matter when he writes a letter complaining that bartholomew ' s father had told the english press that the part was already freddie ' s when he and millicent set sail . selznick then goes into a long explanation of how they\nobviously could not afford to even appear in position of violating law\nbut how\nwe have spent fortune trying to find another child without any success , and it seems to us british government would give us this permission if matter properly presented to them .\naunt betsey will eventually have a showdown with the villainous murdstone over the boy ' s welfare and decides to keep him on in her household to raise him properly . there , david spends much of his time with the fantastic mr . dick ( lennox pawle ) , a defective fellow who lives under the belief that long deceased king charles i inhabits his head . nonetheless aunt betsey trusts dick as a shrewd decision maker .\ni must confess i find dickens tough to get into , for personal reasons , but i do like this film . i do agree with the consensus about the first half being better than the second half , though i do think young\u2019s performance as heep , and the comeuppance fields\u2019 micawber delivers him , carries the second half . and fields\u2019 performance , for me , is one of the best examples of putting a comedian in an acting role that harnesses their comic gifts somewhat yet still allows them to shine through .\n) settles on the first man to pay her any attention , the ultra - strict murdstone ( basil rathbone ) . after returning from a stay at dan peggotty ' s ( lionel barrymore ) , his caretaker ' s ( jessie ralph ) brother , david returns to find murdstone officially his stepfather and mr . m ' s even stricter sister ( violet kemble cooper ) making it known that she ' s now lady of the house .\ni\u2019m not going to recap the story of the novel here , but will just say that i think the film does rely on a knowledge of the book , and might be confusing at times for anyone who doesn\u2019t already know the characters . with such a widely - read novel , it was possible to get away with this in the 1930s . the film has been described as feeling almost like phiz\u2019s drawings brought to life , and i can certainly see this for some of the characters , in particular roland young as uriah heep \u2013 almost unrecognisable from other roles i\u2019ve seen him play , such as topper , and looking uncannily like the illustrations . the script , mainly written by novelist hugh walpole ( who also has a small role as the vicar ) , keeps much of dickens\u2019s own language \u2013 something more recent adaptations have tended to jettison \u2013 and many snatches of dialogue are taken straight from the page . best of all , a lot of the humour is kept in , rather than being cut out in the interests of the plot , which is always a risk when adapting dickens .\ndan peggotty character . again the afi catalog , pointing to an unnamed selznick biography as their source , claims that selznick put barrymore back after discussing the matter with four schoolteachers after the showing , each of whom apparently felt the character was too important to be cut . worried about the length of the film , selznick was finally tipped towards what we have as the finished project when he brought his problem up to mgm head nicholas schenck and schenck replied\nwhat do you mean , how long can you make it . . . how long is it good ?\nso what is lost in the mix ? david\u2019s time in the blacking factory as a child is passed over very briefly , and his schooldays are completely missed out \u2013 a sad loss , since without them we don\u2019t really know how his friendship with steerforth grew , but cutting out this section bridges the gap between the ages of freddie bartholomew and frank lawton . david\u2019s romance with dora is well portrayed , with maureen o\u2019sullivan making her just as enchanting as she should be beneath the silliness - i especially loved the scene with jip the dog disrupting the dinner party \u2013 but madge evans as agnes doesn\u2019t really get much screen time and is left waiting quietly in the background . in general , the whole adult section doesn\u2019t work quite as well as the childhood part , as i\u2019ve already said , but it does still have some great moments all the same . all in all , this is one of my favourite hollywood adaptations of dickens , and a movie which repays re - watching .\nwhile i was aware of the dickens novel , i had no idea of what the story entailed until watching this film , which doesn ' t really seem to do it justice . it ' s very inert and linear , with a whole series of very overripe characters and no real drive or punch to the storytelling . i can see that there ' s an interesting story in there , but this just makes it feel like a second - rate great expectations , more concerned with the trappings of a dickens novel than the wealth of substance and satire he always had simmering below the surface .\nsean , i didn\u2019t recognise young on a first viewing either \u2013 as you say , he is very different in this from the other roles i\u2019ve seen him in so far , proving his great versatility as a character actor . he makes a surprisingly effective villain in this with his smarmy little smile . dickens is a lifelong favourite of mine , so i\u2019m sorry to hear you find him hard to get into , but glad you like this film . i definitely agree that casting fields as micawber worked very well and he does get a chance to use his comic gifts in the part . thanks very much for the kind comment !\nfilms include a 1911 thanhouser three -

directed dope , which has bids at $ 7 million and a $ 15 million p & a commitment i hear to dwarf all other films , with five players in the mix \u2014 but these talks dragged out and a deal finally closed this morning . there\u2019s some p & a in the deal also so it will play theatrically .\nit may well be a sign of the rarity of such depictions that a simple make - out scene can generate as much i - can\u2019t - believe - what - i\u2019m - seeing laughter as it does ; then again , for body - type reasons alone , marsden and black would probably make a pretty hilarious pairing under even the most liberated circumstances . yet while \u201cthe d train\u201d scores points for taking risks , it\u2019s not nearly as brave in terms of follow - through \u2014 and not just because the actual sex , shot in a few brief and blurry seconds , is treated as a cheap punchline .\n\u201cthe d - train\u201d also makes its points about the hypnotic light cast by even a small amount of glamor , and about how avidly we want to catch even its reflection . it\u2019s there when dan is enthralled by oliver\u2019s stupid sunscreen ad ; it\u2019s there when oliver tries to convince dan he knows dermot mulroney ( playing himself with deft charm ) at a hollywood club . it also makes it clear that everyone who reaches for that , to catch even a small part of it , is grasping for , at best , a poisoned chalice .\nto decrease the current required to stimulate a nerve , the positive electrode is placed proximally and the negative toward the muscle terminus . the wires are connected to the nerve stimulator . the negative ( black ) and positive ( red ) leads are attached to the corresponding connection colors .\n\u201cthe d train\u201d isn\u2019t the first comedy to coax laughs out of two ostensibly straight guys having sex , a situation more typically found in seriously unfunny prison movies . the 2009 indie movie \u201chumpday , \u201d a sendup of the genre , circled the issue with two straight male friends who decide to make a pornographic movie with each other only to keep their penises in lockdown . that\u2019s invariably the case in the typical bromances , of course , which feature delineated straight guys who engage in stereotypically , even hyperbolically coded male behavior : they play air guitar , drink to excess , become involved in street altercations and so forth . one of the best , \u201ci love you , man , \u201d even mimics the classic heterosexual romantic coupling : boy meets boy ; boy loses boy ; boy gets boy , kind of .\nthe thing that threw me for a loop : d train\u2019s abrupt conclusion . it takes about 90 minutes for black to melt down every relationship in his life\u2014with his wife , his son , his work , what friends he might have had , and himself . then in the last 5 minutes he manages to repair the relationship with his wife , his son , his work , james marsden , and himself ( and potentially his classmates ) . on top of this sudden reconciliation with everyone : we have shots of black in a park doing tai chi . tai chi ! and doing it well !\nmost education initially will be with the family members present at the bedside because the patient is heavily sedated .\na search of the address is ongoing and the cordons will remain in place until the operation is complete .\nthe negative ( black ) lead wire is attached to the distal electrode and the positive ( red ) lead wire is attached to the proximal .\nto reduce any anxiety , describe the equipment and the experience of the stimuli as a slight prickly sensation that the patient may or may not experience .\nthe peripheral nerve stimulation can be performed either in the ulnar , facial , or posterior tibial nerve . the ulnar nerve in the wrist is the preferred site , but if gross anasarca is present , the facial nerve is then usually the site of second choice .\nthe arrest place to close to the busiest ferry hub in europe , which serves as a commercial gateway to the french coast , including calais and dunkirk - raising the prospect the suspect could have been attempting to leave the country .\nthe dark and sometimes funny the d train is a feel - bad comedy , in that one feels bad for what happens to every character in the film and bad for sometimes being taken to places that feel more implausible than just transgressive . after not getting the career bump he should have for his great performance in richard linklater \u2019s bernie four years ago , it\u2019s good to see jack black front - and - center again playing a very strange man in a feature film . but his character is so harmful to so many people for no reason other than his own unfinished business from high school that it\u2019s a legitimate impulse just to want to get away from the guy much sooner than the film permits . the talented cast and pervasive waywardness will appeal to some , but commercial prospects look limited .\non paper , it sounds like the stuff of a nervy , probing look at the straight male ego under the most unwelcome sort of siege , one that provocatively blurs the lines between friendship and attraction . in execution , however , the second half of \u201cthe d train\u201d can be as frustrating as it is funny , flailing about in search of the right tone of dark absurdity ( established in part by andrew dost\u2019s synth score ) , but more often falling back on easy laughs and implausible , sitcomish formulations \u2014 including the matter of 14 - year - old zach\u2019s own burgeoning sexual curiosity \u2014 that keep the material from going deeper . unsurprisingly in this maelstrom of male anxiety , hahn is good enough to make you wish she had more to play than just another wife and mother , called on to exhibit superhuman levels of patience and understanding by a far less emotionally competent spouse .\nthe lesson :\nmake sure the person who ' s paying for the movie has money ,\nmogel says .\nfor long stretches , \u201cthe d train\u201d serves as a commodious vehicle for mr . black , who , like the best comic performers , never seems remotely concerned about going too big or risking the audience\u2019s love . he\u2019s a showboat if every so often , more of a steamroller , capable of flattening everyone and everything in his way . yet he is also adept at conveying emotional and psychological fragility , and there are some nice moments here when you see dan as confused by his feelings for oliver as a crushed - out 12 - year - old , which the filmmakers smartly don\u2019t try to explain . instead , they show you what dan sees and in the process upend the old formulation ( often attributed to raymond chandler about james bond ) that while men want to be the handsome hero , it\u2019s only the women who want to be with him .\na genial movie about how we live now or like to think that we do , \u201cthe d train\u201d stars jack black as dan landsman , an outwardly ordinary joe who\u2019s helping to plan his 20th high school reunion . his testy dealings with the other reunion committee members suggest that he was as unpopular in high school as he is now . he\u2019s not a bad guy , but more of a fussbudgety blowhard who\u2019s always trying too hard to be the big man , often through trivial means like scatting slang and being keeper of a reunion password . when he sees one of the school\u2019s former golden boys , oliver lawless ( a nimble , perfect james marsden ) , in a television commercial , dan decides to try to persuade him to come to the reunion .\net assistant commissioner , mark rowley , said the police were making\nexcellent progress\nin the hunt for the terrorist .\nall his life , dan landsman ( jack black ) has never been the cool guy . that ' s about to change if he can convince oliver lawless ( marsden ) , the most popular guy from his high school who ' s now the face of a national banana boat ad campaign , to show up with him to their class reunion . a man on a mission , dan travels from pittsburgh to la and spins a web of lies to recruit lawless . but he gets more than he bargains for as the unpredictable lawless proceeds to take over his home , career , and entire life . showcasing jack black and james marden ' s most outrageous performances to date , the d train serves up the question : how far would you go to be popular ? co -

entry process . a thorough review of the events surrounding the traumatic situation can be advantageous for the healing and recovery process to begin .\nmoreover , the d train uses its male - on - male boundary - leaping to give the shopworn man - boy narrative a refresh . still living in his hometown of pittsburgh with wife stacy ( kathryn hahn ) and son zach ( russell posner ) , dan is the self - appointed chairman of his high school\u2019s alumni committee , which serves as both a perpetuation and a micro snapshot of his high school experience . dan\u2019s peers still don\u2019t like him , and they still forget the nicknames he strains to assign himself , which only stokes his fiery , undying need to be accepted . with the high school\u2019s 20 - year reunion fast approaching , dan and company are manning the phones to get former classmates to attend , and when dan sees oliver , a fellow alum , in a banana boat commercial , he sees his hot , chiseled ticket to being the hero who draws the crowd . he keeps his family up watching the video on repeat , and relays his rabid enthusiasm to the committee members , who are skeptical , yet sold .\na peripheral nerve stimulator , also known as a train -

eyed dan on a whirlwind nocturnal tour of l . a . , even if it projects a rather antiquated notion of what\u2019s hot in town \u2014 the strip , the roxy , the whiskey ?\nthe movie pivots on that l . a . visit and what transpires between dan and oliver . to spoil that surprise would deservedly earn me the wrath of filmgoers . let\u2019s just say that dan and oliver share a moment of honesty and intimacy that dan has never known . and when oliver returns to pittsburgh for the reunion , dan\u2019s emotional neediness comes crashing down on everyone in his life , especially on himself . marsden is stellar playing a star who never was , finding the weakness in this bisexual prettyboy who\u2019s just beginning to wonder what will happen when his looks start to go . dan and oliver rep two different kinds of losers , and the filmmakers nail every nuance , comic and calamitous . black and marsden are both extraordinary . to say you\u2019ve never seen either of them like this would be a gross understatement . ignore the haters , and give the hilarious and heartfelt d train a chance to work its magic ."]}

minute scene where a guy runs and runs and runs . it\u2019s never made explicitly clear why anything is happening , ever .\ni wonder if there would be a similar reaction today if it was announced that adam sandler , say , was going to do a holocaust movie\u2014that this is just not appropriate material for this particular performer .\ni\u2019m a real stream -

[ frodon did not know how giannoli got his print , and giannoli himself did not respond to multiple requests for an interview . ]\nrotten tomatoes has previously released a press release listing their own analysis of the top eight films audiences loved but critics hated with documentary hating breitbart at the top . this wasn ' t in the list i used , probably because the list only considered movies with a wide release of 500 cinemas or over . apart from that , differences between their top 10 and my top 10 are the inclusion of older films in mine \u2013 i ' m not sure what dates they considered \u2013 and broken bridges not being in my list \u2013 i can ' t account for this one , i suppose it was just left off the list i used . also they ' ve got an extra decimal point available , which wasn ' t available via their api for my data .\ni don\u2019t know why it would be impossible to watch . there are many things that are difficult to watch . this film finds what i consider a cinematic answer to some real , serious issues , using a kind of stylized setting , both in the costumes and the sets . it\u2019s not pretending to be realistic at all . instead , it has a very obvious fairy - tale feeling\u2014not fairy tale , but tale . there are no fairies here , but there details like in the grimm brothers , like this kind of stylized background with a train rolling along the countryside where the children are being kept , and afterwards , when helmut leads them [ to the gas chambers ] like the pied piper . so the film uses an unrealistic way to relay events we know about , events that have been shown so many times in very realistic ways .\nthe next morning , however , clouds obscure the sunshine of first love \u2014 notably sasha\u2019s internal \u201cam i a lesbian ? ! \u201d and \u201cwhat will people think ? ? \u201d freakout , exacerbated by anne\u2019s need for affirmation and a suddenly - chilled - out clifton\u2019s assumption that they\u2019re already an item . when there\u2019s rancor all around , anne makes an impulsive decision that necessitates a leap forward some weeks , and triggers an emergency parent / teacher / counselor summit .\na great and fair point , given the mass of licensing deals that surrounded and in part funded the making and promotion of the film . but maslin continues , focusing on the strengths of the film .\njerry lewis died on sunday at the age of 91 , leaving behind at least one big mystery : the fate of the day the clown cried , an unreleased 1972 holocaust film that lewis directed and starred in . it tells the story of a fictional german clown , helmut doork , who is sent to a nazi concentration camp as a political prisoner and ends up entertaining jewish children at an adjoining death camp . in the film\u2019s climax , helmut distracts the children with jokes and pratfalls as he leads them to the gas chambers , ultimately joining them inside . you will be only partially relieved to know that this was intended to be lewis\u2019s first dramatic role .\nto all the boys i\u2019ve loved before didn\u2019t stop at casting condor . janel parrish of \u201cpretty little liars\u201d and anna cathcart of \u201cdescendants 2\u201d and \u201codd squad\u201d are set to play margot and kitty , lara jean\u2019s sisters . noah centineo of \u201cthe fosters\u201d is signed on to play peter kavinsky . john corbett is set to play the song girls\u2019 dad .\npart of the reason i love this movie is because i relate to it so much . but if i am trying to look at it in a more unbiased state of mind i still feel that as far as lesbian moves go this one is one of the good ones . the acting is great , the writing is real , and the directing is moving . there are few lines that are somewhat cringy but as far as the writing goes , these lines fit into the general awkwardness and inexperience that comes along with teenage - hood . these actors are great in their roles . i really believe that they have a connection and really care about them . the screenplay , i believe , is very well done . and the directing helps create this emotional energy that i cannot explain . i , in my own experience as a lesbian , relate to this movie so much . there are some scenes in the movie that i can just feel the emotion that the actors are trying to get across . it is so eloquently portrayed that i cannot help but feel a connection to it . in short , this movie is good , maybe great . i liked it quite a bit and encourage you to watch it .\nin his mind ,\ni said ,\nhe ' s getting you for a cheap price .\ninitially a somewhat bland , under - detailed tale of burgeoning attraction between two female high schoolers , \u201cfirst girl i loved\u201d gets more interesting as their tentative relationship crashes against the usual private uncertainties and social anxieties of that age . those conflicts aren\u2019t particularly well developed either , however , compromised by uneven character writing and an awkward flashback structure . [ \u2026 ]\nat the risk of offending devotees of the force , i will say that the stories of the star wars movies have always been space operas , and that the importance of the movies comes from their energy , their sense of fun , their colorful inventions and their state - of - the - art special effects . i do not attend with the hope of gaining insights into human behavior . unlike many movies , these are made to be looked at more than listened to , and george lucas and his collaborators have filled the phantom menace with wonderful visuals .\nit\u2019s certainly not unusual for a film to be ravaged by critics but voraciously consumed by moviegoers . the success of the transformers franchise certainly speaks to that . ( the sound of music , the film industry\u2019s original transformers ? ) but bad films that still manage to eke out decent box office returns don\u2019t stand the test of time the way the sound of music has . there\u2019s a disconnect , it seems , between the film\u2019s initial critical response and its longevity .\nwhen the davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway , the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back .\nwriting in the new york times on may 19 , 1999 , janet maslin gave the film its due , while calming the waters and reminding her readers that this was a film , nothing more , nothing less .\nthis kind of split is of course not unprecedented . you may remember the boondock saints , that bizarre catholic twins revenge rampage that spawned a million dorm - room posters . fans loved it\u201491 percent on rt\u2014and critics hated it\u201420 percent . but the size of suicide \u2019s haul is what sets it apart . with more than $ 100 million already in the bank , i wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it beat batman v superman \u2019s u . s . domestic take of $ 330 million . cult classics are one thing\u2014bad movies that tank at the box office but live on forever in well - worn dvds . suicide squad looks to be an actual smash .\ni loved robert altman . i ' m so passionate about that man , and with james and robert , their egos don ' t get in the way of the art . there are so many directors in hollywood who want to think it was all their idea . they don ' t invite their artists to bring their art to the table . but robert and james want you to argue with them and suggest the new concepts and ideas . altman creates worlds , you know . robert to me is more of choreographer than a film director . he told me , ' i ' d rather direct 80 people than three , ' because 80 people gives him more room to breathe .\nit\u2019s an endearing vision , no doubt . we\u2019d like to imagine a nasa free of bureaucratic oversight , where everyone\u2019s a jodie foster and no one\u2019s a tom skerritt . perhaps you think we need comfort right now , more than ever . perhaps the possibility of the dark mystery of the universe is too much to take , when earth itself feels dark and mysterious . arrival , like 2010 before it , wants to make you believe that humanity can be saved . these movies speak to us the way their space - gods speak to the characters onscreen : they advise us , in blunt terms , to be nice . and we should be nicer to each other . i didn\u2019t need a movie to tell me that ; and i don\u2019t think sincerity equals profundity . if you think good intentions make a movie great , go watch crash .\nyes . i\u2019m convinced it\u2019s a very good job . it\u2019s a very interesting and important film , very daring about both the issue , which of course is the holocaust , but even beyond that as a story of a man who has dedicated his life to making people laugh and is questioning what it is to make people laugh . i think it is a very bitter film , and a disturbing film , and this is why it was so brutally dismissed by those people who saw it , or elements of it , including the writers of the script .\nhowever , anytime you mention the film to people who ' ve seen it , odds are they will instantly exclaim ,\nugh , that ending !\nif you haven ' t seen the movie , stop what you ' re doing and watch it right now , because major spoilers are about to happen .\ni talked to toback right after talking to campbell . i ' d been offered the chance to talk to them together , but no , i ' ve interviewed toback many times over the years , and if there ' s one thing i ' ve noticed , it ' s that nobody else gets to talk . since he is brilliant , funny and a little mad , this is not a problem , unless you want to hear what the other person has to say ."]}

received some international awards , thus transforming asi film production into an established and successful company in the public eyes . resources and facilities have been built up which are now

and sharing information that can help us all navigate this sometimes difficult but often wonderful world . we know that in order to live well we need to look at life holistically , at all aspects of what it means to be human . that means looking at and connecting mental health , physical health , soul , and society - the bigger picture .\nin 1941 , drew spearheaded another blood bank effort , this time for the american red cross . he worked on developing a blood bank to be used for u . s . military personnel . but not long into his tenure there , drew became frustrated with the military & apos ; s request for segregating the blood donated by african americans . at first , the military did not want to use blood from african americans , but they later said it could only be used for african - american soldiers . drew was outraged by this racist policy , and resigned his post after only a few months .\nit has to be a way of life , ongoing , in as much as a healthy lifestyle is

available to us , never before more so than now , we can practice a physically , and mentally , healthy lifestyle .\nin that moment i am negating everything that has happened in my life , shoving it under the mental carpet i carry within me . what i am doing there is looking after the other person\u2019s sensibilities , while disregarding my own . that is not how to deal with experiences , to let them go , to move on .\na couple of points : ( 1 ) if your hero is going to sing in the movie , give him better songs . ( 2 ) although the cinematography is handsome , a couple of shots fall to the temptation of being about themselves and not the story \u2014 the foreground chess game in the coffee shop , for example , which has nothing to do with anything .\nthey are friendly . they exchange some personal information , not much . they ' re both taciturn , although she conceals that with cheerfulness . we know he is sad \u2014 more than she realizes . they have a small encounter with a bachelorette party , split , and later find themselves at the same club . the opening of the club scene is intriguing , showing dancers seemingly dancing to the sounds of their own shoes , until we figure it out .\nis this realistic ? there are a few hopeful straws in the wind . the popularity of bernie sanders with younger voters hints at a generational change in attitudes . some enlightened business leaders \u2014 bill gates , howard schultz , marc benioff \u2014 are emerging as a different sort of role models , on issues like inequality , the treatment of veterans and gay rights . perhaps the unexpected strength of donald trump will provide a wake - up call \u2014 if it isn\u2019t already too late \u2014 to the republican establishment , reminding it that if all you ever do is bash government , you risk creating a vacuum that may be filled by something you will really want to forget .\nstill , the authors are suffering their own amnesia about the troubled state of the economy and american business during the 1970s , which is when the public fell out of love with government . this gets only a few pages , with observations like \u201cthe decade was not the economic wasteland it is often remembered as today . \u201d yet experiencing stagflation and other economic troubles for the first time in the era of mass prosperity provided ample reason for americans to question the prevailing mixed - economy orthodoxy and ask whether government was overreaching .\n> > judging a book by it ' s cover < < mediocre design . two people , standing apart . no romantic elements . fall palette coloration . title placement and size is good , but color does not stand out . the synopsis sounds like a particular sparks novel that was made into a movie . > > looking deeper < < pov ~ > alternating first - person povs : clearly defined and easy to follow . melissa shirley delivers a wonderfully smooth and emotional story in a unique format . sam and kenzie are a\na second chance at love comes in different forms . amnesia , temporary or permanent , is a rarely used medium for it , which is a shame . when written right , the love story that was becomes brand new for the characters and reader . it ' s an exploration of memories , a struggle of remembering , and the discovery of a new beginning . sam and makenzie ' s story probably mirrors a real life couple somewhere . not the amnesia and accident part but the\nwhat\nthat drove makenzie to pull away . i loved that the dual\nhow america came to forget about the merits of good government , and the price now being paid , is the meat of \u201camerican amnesia , \u201d the third book by jacob s . hacker ( yale ) and paul pierson ( berkeley ) , whom bill moyers calls the \u201csherlock holmes and dr . watson of political science . \u201d according to these academic detectives , america\u2019s amnesia is no accident . the country has been brainwashed by a powerful alliance of forces hostile to government : big business , especially wall street , spending unparalleled lobbying dollars to advance its narrow self - \u00adinterest ; a new wealthy elite propagating wrongheaded ayn randian notions that free markets are always good and government always bad ; and a republican party using a strategy of attacking and weakening government as a way to win more power for itself .\nthen there is the excessive nostalgia for the heyday of trade unionism . while hacker and pierson acknowledge the negative role played by teachers unions in blocking education reforms that might have kept america higher in those international performance rankings , that fact gets barely one sentence . and as for wall street , they are too one - sided the other way . though wall street deserves much blame for the crash of 2008 and the subsequent great recession , the financial sector is not all a giant rip - off . many of its innovations over the past 50 years have been adopted around the world because they can yield significant economic benefits .\nso why did america turn against government ? with their previous book , \u00ad\u201cwinner - take - all politics , \u201d hacker and pierson won rave reviews for explaining why inequality has risen faster in america than in any other rich country and how a strategy started by conservative foundations and rich libertarians to limit and weaken government paid off spectacularly . this new book rehashes enough of that analysis to give readers not amnesia but d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu . it also contains grim new evidence , especially about the growing lobbying and legal influence of the business roundtable and united states chamber of commerce . hacker and pierson argue that \u201cno private organization in the history of american politics has assembled anything comparable in scope or capacity to today\u2019s chamber of commerce . \u201d\nnever having read this author before she does have a storyline that will call you to it . as i opened it up i was in for the duration right away because it will catch you , then throw you a whopper having you reading making faces as you see what direction it will go . sam and makenzie are the kidnappers in this story meaning they kidnap you . as things progress you will want to less and less leave it to do something else because it will have you trapped . you also become like a spectator at times rooting for love to win in this one . this is a bit different so you will not have to worry on predictable anything . you will also be glad you ventured in by the end .\na second chance at love comes in different forms . amnesia , temporary or permanent , is a rarely used medium for it , which is a shame . when written right , the love story that was becomes brand new for the characters and reader . it ' s an exploration of memories , a struggle of remembering , and the discovery of a new beginning . sam and makenzie ' s story probably mirrors a real life couple somewhere . not the amnesia and accident part but the\nwhat\nthat drove makenzie to pull away . i loved that the dual pov put me in each of their shoes . i loved being in their heads , loved that pull of whatever emotion they were feeling at the moment . this novella took me by surprise . not just because of how much story is packed into so few pages but because of the pace . yup , the pace . most short stories move quickly , a wham - bam - thank - you - ma ' am kind of a thing . this story was surprisingly slow but was so full . the mystery of what happened between sam and makenzie was given just as much page space as the heaviness of fear and uncertainty that dogged their post - accident footsteps . a beautiful gem of a story that is worth more than the words of this review , i hope you consider reading it . the reality and gravity of it is only eclipsed by the love and forgiveness at the end . complimentary copy received from publisher\nplease melissa shirley tell me there will be more ! i need to know what happens now . i loved this short but sweet love story , second chance with a twist . it had me teary eyed the entire book , and finally tears . it alternates between the two characters , which i liked so i was getting both of their perspectives of the moment . i could feel the tension and hurt as well as the love the entire time . after a car accident kenzie can\u2019t remember who she was , her husband or other aspects of her past . she knows she loves him she\u2019s drawn to him , loves everything about him . so as far as she knows their life was perfect before . sam knows differently . he\u2019s so sweet , caring , and the connection between them is so strong , the author made sure i felt it . it\u2019s sad at times reading his thoughts and fears , the uncertainty of \u201cthem\u201d when or if her memory returns . even though it\u2019s short , there\u2019s a lot of story in here . it\u2019s a difficult position for both of them to be in knowing vs . not knowing the truth and living with the fear of the truth coming out . i know for me i went back and forth on whether i wanted to know . what do you do with that information once you learn it ? can you even have a future without knowing ? can you fix the past , heal your heart and build a new future ? for me it was a relatable story . sometimes it\u2019s easier to just run from the pain than be honest with yourself and face your imperfections , especially with this topic . thank you for a great emotional and hopeful story . i am looking forward to reading more by this author , fingers crossed it\u2019ll be more of sam and kenzie\u2019s story .\n4 . 5 please melissa shirley tell me there will be more ! i need to know what happens now . i loved this short but sweet love story , second chance with a twist . it had me teary eyed the entire book , and finally tears . it alternates between the two characters , which i liked so i was getting both of their perspectives of the moment . i could feel the tension and hurt as well as the love the entire time . after a car accident kenzie can\u2019t remember who she was , her husband or other aspects of her past . she knows she loves him she\u2019s drawn to him , loves everything about him . so as far as she knows their life was perfect before . sam knows differently . he\u2019s so sweet , caring , and the connection between them is so strong , the author made sure i felt it . it\u2019s sad at times reading his thoughts and fears , the uncertainty of \u201cthem\u201d when or if her memory returns . even though it\u2019s short , there\u2019s a lot of story in here . it\u2019s a difficult position for both of them to be in knowing vs . not knowing the truth and living with the fear of the truth coming out . i know for me i went back and forth on whether i wanted to know . what do you do with that information once you learn it ? can you even have a future without knowing ? can you fix the past , heal your heart and build a new future ? for me it was a relatable story . sometimes it\u2019s easier to just run from the pain than be honest with yourself and face your imperfections , especially with this topic . thank you for a great emotional and hopeful story . i am looking forward to reading more by this author , fingers crossed it\u2019ll be more of sam and kenzie\u2019s story . a book lover\u2019s emporium\nceija stojka , a roma ( gypsy ) holocaust survivor , writer and self -

[ 31 ] the sadhu was not technically a theologian but his writings and sayings were full of indian theology . [ 32 ] sundar singh was deeply convinced that christianity will make its entrance into indian hearts only when it is presented in indian form . he serves as an indigenous ideal to the indian church through his life as a sadhu . [ 33 ] the methods adopted by sundar singh provide the framework for an indian to express his christian commitment within his culture . [ 34 ] his teaching method was through parables drawing examples from every day life . [ 35 ] sundar singh never attempted for syncretism but was emphatic on the uniqueness of christ . thus , sundar singh challenges the indian church today to take indegenisation seriously .\nsundar singh may have influenced c . s . lewis in several ways . for example , the name singh comes from the sanskrit word for lion . because sundar singh was popularly perceived as the most christ - like man in lewis ' s day , it is possible that sundar singh was in the back of lewis ' s mind when aslan the lion came bounding into lewis ' s first story of narnia . ( aslan is the turkish word for lion . )\nheiler , friedrich . the gospel of sadhu sundar singh . first published in german in 1924 , then published in english in 1927 . first indian edition published by the lucknow publishing house in lucknow , india , 1970 . abridged english translation by olive wyon .\nsundar singh ' s correspondence with the swedish lutheran bishop nathan soderblom in november 1928 further confirms that he claimed visionary contact with swedenborg .\nin march 1929 , sundar singh was visited in subathu by a . j . appasamy . he reported on their meeting as follows :\nsome in europe , who had seen sundar singh while they were very young , spoke to the present writer of the unforgettable experience .\nto check my conviction that c . s . lewis ' s sura was really meant to represent sadhu sundar singh , in 1987 i contacted lewis ' s oxford pupil and lifetime friend dom bede griffiths , since 1955 a benedictine monk in india . i explained my theory and asked him what he thought . ( griffiths , like sundar singh , wore the traditional robe of an indian holy man . )\nthe life of sundar singh 1889 \u2013 born at rampur , punjab 1903 \u2013 conversion 1904 \u2013 cast out from home 1905 \u2013 baptised in simla ; begins life as a sadhu 1907 \u2013 works in leprosy hospital at sabathu 1908 \u2013 first visit to tibet 1909 \u2013 enters divinity college , lahore , to train for the ministry 1911 \u2013 hands back his preacher\u2019s license ; returns to the sadhu\u2019s life 1912 \u2013 tours through north india and the buddhist states of the himalayas 1918 to 1922 \u2013 travels worldwide 1923 \u2013 turned back from tibet 1925 to 1927 \u2013 quietly spends time writing 1927 \u2013 sets out for tibet but returns due to illness 1929 \u2013 attempts to reach tibet and disappears soon after sundar \u201cmet\u201d jesus christ in 1904 , he was baptized in 1905 , and four years later in 1909 - 10 , he spent a whole year at st . john\u2019s divinity college in lahore . soon thereafter he opted to lead the life of a sadhu ( a wandering ascetic ) rather than a licensed preacher ; thus becoming sadhu sundar singh . in the eyes of the church leaders , sadhu\u2019s name and example is an avenue to promote christianity especially among the sikhs with a calculated hope that the sikhs will follow through . lately , it has come to my attention that rampur village in punjab where sundar was born now \u201chosts several christian cells planted by india - based missions . \u201d also recently opened is the \u201csadhu sundar singh memorial church\u201d in doraha , a town near rampur . the church of north india has also constructed a \u201csadhu sundar singh memorial church\u201d in faridkot , about 24 miles from the pakistan border .\nwhat did lewis mean by the term sura ? in sanscrit the word means god . in the hindu pantheon , a sura is a good angel or genie . in arabic a sura is one of the 114 chapters of the koran . lewis must have known all this when he chose the word . i believe that lewis used the word sura because he was hinting at the word sadhu , which means a holy man in india . ( as an adjective in sanscrit , sadhu means straight . ) if lewis had actually called his christian mystic the sadhu , some readers might have believed that his tale was a true account about the famous sadhu sundar singh .\nsingh , sundar . with and without christ . introduction by the lord bishop of winchester . harper & brothers , new york , 1929 .\nsundar singh had been a christian universalist ; he believed that all people would , eventually , attain salvation . writing in 1925 he argued :\nhowever , sundar singh received a vision of christ that ultimately changed the course of his life . after surrendering his life to christ , he devoted himself to the sharing of the gospel . upon discovering sundar singh\u2019s conversion , his father denounced and expelled his son from the family .\nnow this was the question which haunted my dad in his early teen - age years . in sundar singh god provided a meaningful answer .\nmeeting sundar singh or hearing him speak of jesus , made the whole gospel narrative come alive in a striking and incontrovertible manner to many in several parts of the globe . my dad and others known to me were amongst those who were deeply influenced by sundar singh ' s life .\nin 1922 a young indian research student , a . j . appasamy and the noted theologian and new testament scholar b . h . streeter published the sadhu , a study in mysticism and practical religion , in which the visionary aspect of sundar singh ' s life was first brought out into the open . it was also in this book that the name of emanuel swedenborg was first mentioned in connection with sundar singh .\nin 1905 , sundar singh was baptised into the church of india and shortly afterwards took the vow of a sadhu , giving away his possessions and , owning only a saffron robe , a shawl and a copy of the new testament , adopted the life of a wandering preacher .\nappasamy , a . j . sundar singh : a biography . published by lutterworth press in london , 1958 . first indian edition , 1966 .\non seeing the fabulous wealth which was offered to him , young sundar singh exclaimed ,\nall this gold cannot give me the peace which the lord jesus christ has given me .\nthe unshakable determination of sundar singh to follow jesus , only made his father more desperate and angry .\nwas sadhu a sikh ? not once sadhu called himself a former sikh . not once sadhu mentioned sikh doctrines let alone forsaking them . in his writings only at one place he referred that he was \u201cborn in a family that was commonly considered sikh . \u201d but then qualified it : that for his family \u201cthe teaching of hinduism was considered most essential . \u201d this was written in his book , \u201cwith and without christ\u201d published in 1928 , merely a year before sadhu\u2019s own death . frankly i am puzzled at all of this . how could his family be sikh but practices diehard hinduism ? why would he wait for so long to reveal his family links as sikh ? have sadhu and his church cohorts being putting up a smoke screen here\u2014 - killing two birds with one stone so to speak ? why ? was sadhu as a christian with an attached sikh name , leading an ascetic hindu way of life , a ticket too attractive for the evangelical church ? history texts tell us that sadhu\u2019s mother was really the genius behind to plant ideas in his mind of leading a life of a wandering hermit . for someone to be that important in sundar\u2019s upbringing without being named anywhere in the literature is mind - boggling ! his mother had hired the services of a hindu pundit and an old \u201csikh sadhu\u201d to teach sundar . sadhu sundar singh in his book , \u201cwith and without christ\u201d has devoted more than one page under the heading \u201cthe sadhu and i\u201d explaining his quandary over the questions with this supposedly \u201csikh sadhu . \u201d reading this questionable page , i realized that there is not a single word mentioned giving me any hint that sundar was talking of the sikh religion . moreover how could \u201csikh sadhu\u201d be a sikh ? something doesn\u2019t make sense . keep in mind , sadhu had three elder siblings born from the same un - named mother . it is apparent from the literature that this mother didn\u2019t impart hinduism to any of her first three children . if so why would she pick sunder , her youngest child , for this special exotic religious training ? again these detail questionings with no apparent answers doesn\u2019t make sense . i cannot help but reach a conclusion : sadhu was not a sikh and had no links with the sikh religion in any fashion whatsoever . this only further deepens the mystery on sundar . who was he then ?\nwe are just finishing our book group using the\nwisdom of the sadhu , teachings of sundar singh\n. the discussions have been amazing ! this is a must read book for all of those folks who are exploring their faith . we keep adding weeks to the . . .\nthere might as well be more of these jesus and other testimonies given out by sundar just like this one : \u201ci am christ whom you are persecuting . there is salvation only through me . if you believe me now , you will be saved . if you don\u2019t believe me you will be damned forever . \u201d what transpired on this faithful day cannot be verified . sundar is the sole witness . one is never sure what jesus actually spoke . sundar is the only person who is narrating his own supernatural incident . and unfortunately , with so many inconsistencies and profound contradictions inherent in the above - mentioned witness accounts , one has to ask : is sadhu reliable ? my answer is no . what is sadhu up to ? is he lying and why ? sadhu\u2019s psychological make up is prone to seeing visions which is fraught with many pitfalls . in one of the above accounts sadhu has mentioned the date december 18th without giving the year . c . f . andrews , who had known sadhu personally , mentioned the time \u201cdecember 1903\u201d for this incident . cyril j . davey , a christian biographer for sadhu has given the date \u201cdecember 3 , 1903 . \u201d which one is correct ? it\u2019s high time to ask : would the real sadhu sundar singh please stand up and tell the truth about him for jesus\u2019s sake ?\nin october 1906 , he set out on his voyage as another christian , wearing a turban and the yellow robe of a hindu sadhu , a plain gave to profound practice . singh saw himself as a sadhu , yet one inside of christianity instead of hinduism , on the grounds that he understood christianity couldn\u2019t infiltrate india unless it was in an indian way .\nkunick and marx received sundar singh and taught him some elements of the tibetan language and even gave him an interpreter to help him in his work .\non october 6 , exactly after 33 days of his baptism , sundar singh began his life as a christian sadhu . [ 6 ] he always had that aspiration in life which was instilled in him by his spiritual mother . he was distressed to see the indian church inculcating western culture and imitating their customs and failing to present the gospel in indian terms . sundar singh knew that a life of a sadhu was the best way to present the gospel message of christ to indians . his yellow robe won him admission into many villages and people listened to his messages earnestly . unlike the old hindu sadhus who were dirty and smeared themselves with ashes , sundar singh was clean , tall and well built and just sixteen years old . [ 7 ]\nthank you so much for publishing this wonderful book of the life and teachings of the sadhu , sundar singh , devout and faithful follower of the lord jesus christ . years ago a pastor gave me an old book about the sadhu but it was written in italian so i was so glad to find something in english . after reading this book i went ahead and orderd more copies to share with my friends in canada and united states !\nknown in his lifetime as india\u2019s most famous convert to christianity , sadhu sundar singh ( 1889\u20131929 ) would not approve of that characterization . he loved jesus and devoted his life to knowing him and following him , but he never accepted christianity\u2019s cultural conventions , even as he embraced its stark original teachings .\nin the mid 1940s bishop dr . augustine peters , a local evangelist of south india , searched out sundar\u2019s sibling rajender singh , drove him to the christian confidence and sanctified through water him in punjab . rajender alluded to numerous supernatural occurrences performed by sundar singh and individuals changed over to christ under his service .\npossessed of a burning heart , he was aflame to tell all whom he could reach , of the love of god in christ jesus . the image of an ill - kept figure , robed in filthy garments , trudging along the dusty indian road is the kind of picture that the thought of a ' sadhu ' conjures before one ' s mind . sundar singh was distinctly different . his person and attire at all times were clean . my father , during his sojourn with him , was not a little surprised at how clean sundar singh managed to keep himself and his sadhu ' s yellow robe .\nsadhu sundar singh was born on 3 rd september , 1889 in a rich sikh family in punjab . [ 1 ] his mother was a very pious woman who had a strong influence in his life . her prayer was that her youngest son sundar should renounce the world and become a sadhu or saint . she nurtured sundar singh in the sikh and hindu scriptures . her death when sundar was only fourteen years dealt a severe blow on him . [ 2 ] he started desperately longing for peace because of a deep unrest in his heart and began reading all religious books and even practised yoga . his father put him in a christian mission school in his village where sundar developed a profound hatred for christians . he went to the extent of tearing the bible and burning it into pieces and was admonished by his father .\nin october 1906 , he set out walking a road , wearing a yellow robe and turban . the yellow robe designated the\nuniform\nof a hindu sadhu , traditionally an ascetic devoted to the gods , who either begged his way along the roads or sat , silent , remote , and often filthy , meditating in the jungle or some lonely place . the young sundar singh had also chosen the sadhu ' s way , as a christian .\ngod granted sundar singh also to see a great personal victory in the conversion of his dear dad who had initially suffered much pain and embarrassment at sundar ' s conversion to christ . his dad approached him saying ,\ni want to be baptized by you .\nbut sundar singh said ,\nno , you must be ready to be baptized in the name of jesus christ by any true christian preacher .\nwhat a joy it was to sundar singh to see the triumph of the gospel in his own father ' s life !\nthe life of a sadhu was a chosen life of self denial , suffering and cross bearing . brought up in luxury in a rich family , sundar singh as a sadhu wandered barefooted , without any possessions except his thin linen garment , a blanket and a new testament in urdu . sundar singh preached the gospel in his native and surrounding villages and he wandered through punjab to afghanistan and kashmir , lands where christian mission work had hardly begun . [ 8 ] at this time , sundar singh met with mr . stokes , a wealthy american who came to india for missionary work and joined with him for some time in ministry . he learnt from him the ideals of st . francis of assisi and his life as a preaching friar inspired him . [ 9 ]\nfrom here on the life of sundar singh became most christ - like . being unwilling to denounce his master , it was not long before his family had rejected him . sundar took the saffron robes of the sadhu and began a life of spreading the simple message of love and peace and rebirth through jesus . he carried no money or other possessions , only a new testament .\nbecause many of them discuss the sons of light and the sons of darkness . this is the exact same term used in sadhu ' s book .\nindia , the country that gave birth to great religions \u2013 hinduism , buddhism , jainism and sikhism \u2013 continues to be a fertile ground for those seeking spiritual sustenance , a meaning to life , in general . the image of the sadhu in his orange robes is a common sight . and it was this very image that i encountered the other day that brought to mind the life and times of the indian christian ascetic \u2013 sadhu sundar singh 1889 - 1929 .\nat the young age of fifteen , sundar singh received a vision of christ and converted from his native hinduism to christianity . after his conversion , he became a sadhu - - an ascetic or holy man - - and for the next twenty - five years , until his death , he preached the gospel . at the master ' s feet is a remarkable collection of sundar singh ' s visions from god , organized in a dialogue between the\ndisciple\n( sundar singh ) and the\nmaster\n( god ) . he includes in this uncomplicated dialogue profound teachings revealed to him from god . these teachings focus on the important practical aspects of christianity - - sin , salvation , prayer , service , etc . - - rather than obscure or arcane theological discussions . truly inspirational , at the master ' s feet reflects the depth of sadhu sundar singh ' s dedication , and can encourage such dedication in all of its readers .\nsundar singh had been born into an important landowning sikh family in patiala state in northern india . sikhs , rejecting hindu polytheism and muslim intolerance in the sixteenth century , had become a vigorous nation with a religion of their own . sundar singh ' s mother took him weekly to sit at the feet of a sadhu , an ascetic holy man , who lived in the jungle some miles away . she also sent him to a christian mission school where he could learn english .\nwisdom of the sadhu , a collection of anecdotes , sayings , parables , and meditations , brings together the best of sundar singh\u2019s teachings . couched as they are in a distinctly indian idiom , they probe the essence of the gospels with unusual freshness and offer insights of great depth and value to every serious seeker .\ngeorge macdonald died on september 18 , 1905 . just then the young sundar singh decided to become a wandering sadhu , and less than three weeks after macdonald ' s death he set out on his twenty - fouryear ministry . when sundar singh died in the spring of 1929 , c . s . lewis dedicated his life to god and gradually began his own remarkable ministry . all three of these men ministered by public speaking , by writing , and by deep and constant prayer .\n> from here on the life of sundar singh became most christ - like . being unwilling to denounce his master , it was not long before he had been rejected by his family . sundar took the saffron robes of the sadhu and began a life of spreading the simple message of love and peace and rebirth through jesus . he carried no money or other possessions , only a new testament .\nwhen in the spring of 1920 an oxford don and his young indian tutee conceived the idea of writing a book about sadhu sundar singh , it was in their minds to interpret him to the west in terms that the west could grasp and according to a scale of values that the west could affirm . [ 10 ]\nsundar singh fell down before jesus and worshipped him . peace and joy finally flooded his soul . at breakfast he told his bewildered father ,\nthe old sundar singh is dead ; i am a new being .\n7 his conversion was obviously much like that of the apostle paul , and he told everyone who would listen .\n15 a . j . appasamy , sundar singh : a biography , ( madras , india : c . l . s . , 1966 ) , 7 . back\n18 b . h . streeter and a . j . appasamy , the message of sundar singh , ( new york : macmillan , 1921 ) , 68 . back\nsundar singh ' s serene and glowing countenance with its beautifully chiselled features made many people think that he closely resembled the lord jesus , even in his external appearance .\ni don ' t suppose that anyone has made the link between lewis and sundar singh before ,\nbede griffiths continued in another letter on july 27 , 1987 .\non reflection i feel that it is very likely that lewis heard of him through the cowley fathers with whom he was very close . in any case , sundar singh needs to be more widely known .\n17 ( the cowley fathers were the devout anglicans who had hosted sundar singh during his 1920 visit to oxford . )\nwhen parting with young daniel , sundar singh gifted to him his shawl , saying that he was giving it to him as a token of his love . the biblical parallel of the prophet elijah ' s mantle falling on young elisha being unmistakable , many said in fun ,\nthe mantle of sundar singh has fallen on daniel .\nas he trudged along a lonely road in an area particularly notorious for bandits , sundar singh was suddenly accosted one day by a bandit accustomed to summarily killing travellers and seizing and plundering their valuables . when sundar singh met this cruel man who blocked his path with an upraised sword , he meekly put down his head and expected the sword to fall at any moment . but , to his surprise , the man lowered his sword and his manner changed completely ! he could not believe that a man who was strong and tall like sundar singh would so meekly submit . wondering at the words of sundar singh he led him to a cave . the bandit took him into the interior of the cave . there in the nether part , sundar singh saw the skeletons of men who had been killed by him . the bandit exclaimed ,\nall these men have i killed ! will god forgive me ?\nthere sundar singh proclaimed to this desperate and wicked man the forgiveness which the lord jesus offers to sinners .\nsadhu sundar singh is one of the most fascinating and enigmatic spiritual guides of the twentieth century . rooted as it is in a distinctively indian style , his christian wisdom challenges western readers to step beyond theological ideas and taste the gospel itself . plough has done a great service by publishing the work of this wise and holy teacher .\n{ { cite news urltoken | title = sadhu sundar singh . | newspaper = [ [ the sydney morning herald ] ] | issue = 25 , 777 | location = new south wales , australia | date = 17 august 1920 | accessdate = 10 july 2018 | page = 6 | via = national library of australia } }\nwas sadhu a hindu ? on a number of occasions sadhu had described himself as a former hindu , and more than once mentioned of his hindu heritage by pointing out doctrines that are without question of hindu origin . sadhu made it clear , \u201cchristianity was fulfillment of hinduism . hinduism has been digging channels . christ is the water to flow through these channels \u2026 there are many beautiful things in hinduism ; but the fullest light is from christ . \u201d in 1922 while sadhu was journeying overseas , his expressed reservations about mahatma gandhi\u2019s satyagraha tactics was published : \u201c [ sadhu ] made quite plain his profound disapproval of mr . gandhi\u2019s method telling him in so many words that they can lead india to nothing but ruin and useless suffering . \u201d i learnt from gandhi\u2019s reply that sadhu and gandhi had met more than once . according to gandhi , talking of sadhu , \u201cwe had the closet communion\u2026 . we had long discussions over all these and other matters and he certainly left on me the impression that for a religious man no course left open . \u201d was sadhu involved in politics with gandhi ? evidence suggests he was . being a genuine hindu that he was and rightly so with so much of the efforts invested by his mother why sundar failed to mention her name ? something is fishy here and i have developed suspicions that sadhu\u2019s real history might be altogether different . could it be that sundar was a hindu boy raised by the missionaries and trained to carry out a double deception with respect to his allegedly hybrid \u201chindu - sikh model\u201d as conduit to proselyte the masses who had grown resistant to the christ\u2019s message ?\nto meet christ was only the beginning for sundar singh . he was a sikh . sikhs had endured terrible persecutions in their early history . as a consequence they were fiercely loyal to their faith and to each other . conversion to christianity was considered treachery . now every effort was made to woo or coerce sundar singh back to his ancestral faith .\nyet in the indian context that shaped sundar singh ' s christianity , all these aspects of exemplary christian religious life had strong parallels in indian traditions . the sadhu or\nholy man\nrenounces worldly life in seeking ultimate\nsalvation .\nin this way , sundar singh sought to demonstrate that christian faith and indian religious culture had much more in common than the christianity brought by foreign missionaries seemed to allow . indian christians understood and appreciated this , and by the 1920s , many european christians began to agree .\nif true , sundar in 1896 c . e . knew by heart the bhagavad\nfrom gujranwala in punjab . theoretically it is possible for sundar to have read and\nsundar singh ' s zeal for the lord jesus and his practice of christian discipleship comes as a rebuke to the soft , over - cuddled , comfortable christian believer of today .\nthere were too many who were drawn by mere enthusiasm or curiosity and by the renown of sundar singh , to peer closely at him or to seek interviews with him . sundar singh needed privacy and guarded it very carefully . he preferred not to speak more than twice a day , and used his time for long periods of prayer and communion with god .\nsadhu sundar singh came down to madras in 1918 intending to visit a few places . [ 15 ] by this time , his fame had spread far and wide and he was flooded with offers to preach all over south india . thousands of people flocked for his meetings with a keen desire to hear sundar singh . conventions were conducted in travancore where he was invited as a speaker . sundar singh went on to ceylon and conducted spiritual meetings of great power for six weeks . [ 16 ] he was greatly disturbed by the caste system prevailing in these regions and condemned them severely . his ministry to the eastern nations extended to burma , malaya , penang , singapore , china and japan . [ 17 ]\nsadhu sundar singh was an indian christian missionary . he once said : \u201cthose who determine not to put self to death will never see the will of god fulfilled in their lives . those who ought to become the light of the world must necessarily burn and become less and less . by denying self , we are able to win others . \u201d\nseveral biographies have been written about sundar singh which emphasize his piety , humility and christian witness . eric sharpe surveyed the biographical studies of sundar singh and discerned a number of significant discrepancies in chronological details , in the accounts of his christian conversion , and the accounts of his travels to tibet . sharpe indicates that writers in continental europe , england and the united states of america constructed different portraits of sundar singh . he argues that the different portraits disclose much about the way westerners thought about india in the 1920s and 1930s . sharpe remarks :\nsadhu\u2019s mental health : thanks to c . f . andrews for bringing to my notice that early on , sundar\u2019s father and his uncle regarded sundar as mad . this was based upon the facts they possessed in their hands . his siblings kept themselves away and it seems because of sundar\u2019s eccentric behaviors , he was rendered aloof . after sundar had adopted christianity he was let go and his family connections were cut off . sadhu , being a famous evangelist , was on a ride which he would have never imagined had he not left rampur village . if sadhu indeed had suffered from some psychiatric disorder , i suppose it might have been pointed out in his missionary journeys worldwide at least somewhere within the christian circles . come to think of\u2013it did . here are some of their views : 1 . father hosten , a jesuit at darjeeling , writing in the catholic herald of india ( 1923 - 1925 ) elaborated his impressions that the sadhu was a \u201cshameless imposter , who has invented the greater part of his life - story in order to win the reputation of sanctity . \u201d 2 . german jesuits published a series of accusations in a paper entitled stimmen der zeit ( 1924 - 1926 ) calling sadhu an \u201coriental deceiver , a childish visionary , who confounds the creations of his fantasy with reality . \u201d 3 . father hosten and dr . o . pfister wrote a book titled , the legend of sundar singh ( berne , 1926 ) . pfister regarded sadhu as a \u201cneurotic person whose sense of reality has been impaired , and who therefore tends , although unconscious that he is doing so , to misrepresent historical facts . \u201d pfister also believed to have discovered other morbid traits , such as sadism , in the sadhu\u2019s psycho - physical life . from the point of view of a psychoanalyst , pfister believed that sadhu\u2019s love to christ was \u201crooted in repressed infantile sex - complexes . \u201d\nsadhu sundar singh ( 1889 - 1929 ) was known in his lifetime as india ' s most famous convert to christianity . in the hindu tradition , a sadhu ( literally ,\none who is on the right path\n) is a holy man , saint or seer , one who has renounced the world for the sake of the path which leads to enlightenment . however , it could be said he rejected the western forms of christianity and instead adapted christ ' s words to india ' s unique culture and environment .\nreally an inspiring disciple of christ of the 21st centuary . the way jesus might have revealed to him and showed his love love might have pulled sadhu that he was called as christ where ever he goes . . . glory to jesus that he ( jesus ) has raised such people trained like him , to live for him . . . i praise god for rasing sadhu . . . . ! and spreading the gospel . . . sadhu proved jesus is in him and glorified jesus too . . . !\nstreeter , burnett hillman , and a . j . appasamy . 1923 . the sadhu : a study in mysticism and practical religion . london : macmillan . oclc 154224895 .\nnow that his short stint of eight months at theological school was finished , sundar singh plunged again into the glorious mission of making christ known to all who would hear . it was in july 1910 that sundar singh secured his release from the seminary . his stay there however left some changes in lives , which would last long after he himself ceased from his labours .\nsuch praise and adulation , however , were only faint echoes of the devotion sundar singh had inspired in india , where he had wandered robed in the style of a sadhu ( ascetic\nholy man\n) preaching christ for 15 years . his indian admirers proclaimed\nhow like christ he is !\nwherever he went . this likeness , they asserted , reflected a deep , mystical union :\nit is no sin to call sundar singh ' swami ' [ i . e . , lord ] for christ himself dwells in him .\nborn on september 3 , 1889 in the house of sher singh at rampur village in patiala state .\nbenge , janet , and geoff benge . 2005 . sundar singh : footprints over the mountains . christian heroes , then & now . seattle , wa : ywam pub . isbn 9781576583180 .\non one occasion , when sundar singh was suffering greatly amidst the cold , stricken by malaria , stokes , being greatly concerned , drew the shawl from sundar ' s face to see how he was . shivering and burning with fever as he was , sundar with a radiant face was heard saying ,\nhow sweet it is to suffer for jesus !\nrelated material : the school of oriental and african studies also holds records of the conference of british missionary societies , international missionary council , including papers relating to sadhu sundar singh , 1929 - 1930s ( ref : cbms / h / pb6 / 71 / 46 , cbms / h / pb28 / 93 / 94 , cbms / h / pb52 / 117 ) .\nhis successor , sadhu sundar selvaraj , prophesied last april 2013 that earthquakes will occur in the philippines and that strong typhoon will hit leyte and samar . he also stated that people might kill each other for food , it will be talked to all . . .\nnow , this was the backdrop against which sundar singh began his missionary labours . the tradition of a young man clad in yellow robes who had renounced marriage and was therefore given the honorific ' sadhu ' , gave a person freedom of travel , as a prerequisite of his calling . moreover , a sadhu would be accepted in circles where a white - robed or black - robed christian priest or pastor would be turned away . the people had been taught by long tradition to reverence a person who had made the requisite sacrifices to become a sadhu . sundar singh , in donning a yellow robe , immediately made himself accessible to many common people . they felt they could communicate with a man in a yellow robe . there was much which they shared with him in common . there were occasions too when people were moved to the nth degree of rage and violent vituperation and disgust when they discovered that this sadhu was preaching christ , and not the gods or the ancient epics and vedas , whom alone they venerated . thus he was thrust out of villages when it was discovered that he was a christian . but without question , after all has been said , the sadhu ' s robe was a great help just to communicate and enter communities where no ordinary christian preacher could commonly go ."]}

compensated . the gregorian calendar was then devised by aloysius lilius , an italian astronomer and philosopher , ( and named after pope gregory xiii ) to replace the julian calendar , with stricter criteria for leap years .\nthe ancient roman calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes , similar to the chinese leap month .\na leap year occurs every 4 years in the ethiopian calendar when one extra day is added at the end of the year . more\nhis game is leap years above anyone ,\nthe scout said .\ncontinues to shine and impress .\none year has the length of 365 days , 5 hours , 48 minutes and 45 seconds . this is hard to calculate with , so a normal year has been given 365 days and a leap year 366 days . in leap years , february 29th is added as leap day , which doesn ' t exist in a normal year . a leap year is every 4 years , but not every 100 years , then again every 400 years . this year 2018 isn ' t a leap year . the last leap year was 2016 , the next will be 2020 .\n. however , around 10 bc , it was found that the priests in charge of computing the calendar had been adding leap years every three years instead of the four decreed by caesar ( vardi 1991 , p . 239 ) . as a result of this error , no more leap years were added until 8\nyes . the chinese calendar has leap years featuring leap months -

- then the iers might have called for a negative leap second . there has never been a negative leap second , so no time keeping system has been tested with one . indeed , many precision time keeping systems are known not to be prepared to implement a negative leap second .\nwhile the current actors karthika nair and rajneesh duggal though will remain as the story will be show from their point of view . though their roles will be reduced and focus will be on leap track . the show started off with decent ratings but is not taking off as expected . hopefully , the leap will help the show\u2019s popularity .\nfor around five million \u2018leapers\u2019 february 29 is a special day , their birthday . it only happens once every four years and signifies an important reorganisation of time . but what is a leap year and are there any other \u2018leaps\u2019 that keep our clocks accurate to the microsecond ?\nand why on earth would anyone promise to wait 4 years to have a date with someone ? that\u2019s crazy . i meet cartcart every six months and it\u2019s already immensely hard . if we had to meet every 4 years , i think i\u2019d probably die from heartbreak .\nin about 600 years ti will be ahead of ut1 by half an hour , and in about 1000 years the difference will be a full hour . this means that when a ti clock says 12 : 00 it will still be an hour before noon in greenwich . the situation in 1000 years is , of course , much the same as what happens all summer long as a result of civil summer / daylight time . however the difference does not stop growing at one hour .\nso not only are leap years the result of millennia of mathematical work , they are also the consequence of rulers imposing their will on people\u2019s day to day lives , and the gradual understanding of our place in the universe . controlling calendars means controlling the rhythms of a culture \u2013 which is something for all of us to think about on february 29 .\nmost of the time , a year is made up of 365 days . but this year , just like 2012 , and the year four years before that , has 366 . and that vital extra day , a leap day , is ( partly ) what keeps our calendars in working order .\nso every 100 years we don ' t have a leap year , and that gets us 365 . 24 days per year ( 1 day less in 100 year = - 0 . 01 days per year ) . closer , but still not accurate enough !\nin 1969 a number of scientific unions called for an international and interdisciplinary study group to find a new scheme . disregarding that call , the ccir study group met in late 1969 and proposed the leap second scheme to the ccir . at the plenary meeting in early 1970 the ccir unilaterally decided to institute leap seconds - - beginning in 1972 - - with less than two years of advance notice . furthermore , the ccir failed to send a letter to the iau notifying them of the impending change . without official notification the iau general assembly in august 1970 had no basis for objecting to the impending change . astronomers responded to the ccir with a resolution stating that utc with leap seconds represented the\noptimum solution\nin the face of\nconflicting requirements\nof users of time , but they could not take final action until the general assembly held in 1973 , which was after leap seconds had begun .\nat torino the proponents of omitting leap seconds supposed that the governments of the world might handle this situation using leap hours introduced into civil time by occasionally omitting the annual\nspring forward\nchange to jump to summer / daylight time . however there are serious questions raised by the notion of a leap hour . given that the first leap hour would not happen for centuries , it is not clear that any systems ( legal or technological ) would build in the necessary complexity for handling it . this seems to be likely even if the notion of the leap hour were built into the new radio broadcasts from their inception . this might mean that posterity would have to face a severe choice : either undertake an expensive and expansive y2k - like systems review or face an eventual disagreement over what day of the week it would be .\natomic clocks , however , tick away at pretty much the same speed over millions of years . compared to the earth ' s rotation , atomic clocks are simply too consistent .\nbut the julian calendar was not perfect either , since the year was in fact just a little bit shorter than 365 . 25 days . pope gregory corrected this mistake in his gregorian calendar of 1582 . as well as adding a leap day every four years , he also opted to lose three days every 400 years . this was a catholic decision , which protestant and orthodox calendars resisted for some time . greece was the last country to accept the gregorian reform in 1923 .\nthis table shows that although leap seconds in utc will become more and more frequent , the current scheme for utc will almost certainly work for the next 1200 years . this gives plenty of time to develop a solution which satisfies the systems that need atomic time as well as civilizations that are accustomed to mean solar time .\nthe year 2000 , for example , was a leap year , since it was divisible by four . but since it was also divisible by 400 , the dropping of the extra day every 100 years was not carried out . this long - term solution creates an average year length of 365 . 2425 days , still slightly off the required target of 365 . 2421897 days , making even this complicated modern arrangement incorrect by one day over a period of just under 4 , 000 years .\nthe evolving relationships among five new york city friends are chronicled in an unusual drama that jumps back and forth in time , taking place in the years 1993 , 2001 and 2008 .\nas seen in the table above , the long term effect of omitting leap seconds is inevitable even though the calendar year of any particular difference is impossible to predict . the most significant alteration of the above table would be determined by the date at which the itu might decide to make a change in broadcast time signals . the year 2022 was offered at the colloquium in torino as a reasonable compromise , but it is much farther into the future than many proponents for omitting leap seconds would like ( indeed , some seem to promote omitting any further leap seconds in utc starting immediately ) .\nthe current rules for leap seconds in utc are specified by itu - r tf . 460 . they state that a leap second may be added ( or subtracted ) at the end of any month , but that first preference is given to june and december , and second preference is given to march and september . after the si second was defined it became evident that the length of the si second happens to match the length of the mean solar second at around the year 1820 . if we start with the length of day in the year 1820 and calculate the tidal deceleration using the rates listed above , then the following predicted rates for the insertion of leap seconds applies .\nfield is 29 because 2004 is a leap year , and if the date of this instance is february 1 , 2005 , it ' s 28 .\nli - ann , a dreamer , is a strong believer of the soul mate theory and rejects all men , especially her best friend ks , till she falls in love with jeremy , at first sight . they tour chinatown , singapore , together on february 29 1980 . unfortunately , she is heartbroken when he tells her he is engaged . he decides to make up to her by meeting her same time , same place , every leap year . their love spans twenty years , as they realize the pain of love until they take the leap of faith . . . and the leap of love . . .\nunless civilization decides that counting days and nights is irrelevant , civil time will want to remain synchronized with solar time , not atomic time . if civil time were to become atomic time with leap hours there would foreseeably come a time when that scheme would become quite annoying . it seems likely that human perceptions will always find a one second leap to be inconsequential , even if that happens once a day . my wristwatch is good to a little better than a second a day , so by this reckoning leap seconds in 40000 years will be no more annoying to a human than resetting my watch is today . it is difficult to say whether posterity would prefer one leap second a day or one leap hour every 10 years , and it is presumptuous for the current generation to declare that future generations will not wish to operate on solar time . changing to atomic time now would place a burden on posterity in exchange for laziness on the part of contemporary designers of systems .\nhowever , this does not mean that the days are 27 seconds longer nowadays . the only difference is that the days a leap second was added had 86 , 401 seconds instead of the usual 86 , 400 seconds .\nwe have to skip some leap years to account for the fact that those extra , or decimal hours ( the 5 hours , 48 minutes , and 46 seconds ) in the tropical year are just short of a quarter day . so in a sense we ' re re - adjusting the re - adjustment , but we ' re still left with an imperfect sum .\nleap seconds were instituted in 1972 when radio broadcast time signals changed from counting\nelastic seconds\n( which by their definition evenly divided the day ) to si seconds ( which have no relation to the day ) . the purpose of leap seconds is specifically to permit the broadcast of fixed length si seconds while providing a value of time that stays in step with the day .\nthe leap years , aka leap of love , was a long process in the making . having tracked this movie for a number of years now , it is going to make its debut this year premiering exactly on feb 29 no less . while there were the usual production woes , i thought that this was one of those projects that remain in development hell , and given the overlong trailers being played in the cinemas -

year - old film .\noscar wilde\u2019s comic jewel sparkles in anthony asquith\u2019s film adaptation of the importance of being earnest . featuring brilliantly polished performances by michael redgrave , joan greenwood , and dame edith evans , the enduringly hilarious story of two young women who think themselves engaged to the same nonexistent man is given the grand technicolor treatment . seldom has a classic stage comedy been so engagingly transferred to the screen .\nthe original 1895 production of the importance of being earnest had it ' s run cut short due to oscar wilde ' s growing notoriety in the public courts - firstly with his unsuccesful libel case against the marquess of queensberry and then the start his trial for ' gross indecency ' - for homosexuality , something that would not be decriminalised in britain until the introduction of the sexual offences act 1967 . oscar wilde was ultimately found guilty and was sentenced to prison with hard labour . george alexander , the manager of the st james ' s theatre , did though successfully revive his original production of the importance of being earnest four times over the following 18 years .\nthe one way in which the newer film surpasses the earlier film is in making the whole thing feel more like a film rather than a filmed play . the redgrave - greenwood version was virtually a straight filming of the play , with a bare minimum of deviation or departure . the new film makes considerable efforts to be more dynamic visually and to break up the scenes so that it isn\u2019t obviously divided into acts .\nkr\u00e4mer , lucia . \u201csubversion in disguise : oliver parker\u2019s adaptations of oscar wilde\u2019s an ideal husband and the importance of being earnest . \u201d janespotting and beyond : british heritage retrovisions since the mid -

recumbent posture !\n.\nthe roundabout theatre company produced a the 2011 broadway revival of the importance of being earnest , based on brian bedford\u2019s 2009 production at the stratford shakespeare festival . it was performed at the company\u2019s permanent home , the american airlines theater in new york , an italian renaissance theatre on 42nd street . the auditorium was beautifully renovated when it changed its name from the selwyn theatre in 2000 and has since hosted numerous broadway revivals .\nthe importance of being earnest\nis above all an exercise in wit . there is nothing to be learned from it , no moral , no message . it adopts what one suspects was wilde ' s approach to sex - - more fun to talk about than to do . as algernon observes , romance dies when a proposal is accepted :\nthe very essence of romance is uncertainty .\nwilde takes this as his guide . when the play ' s uncertainties have all been exhausted , the play ends . the last line (\ni ' ve now realized for the first time in my life the vital importance of being earnest\n) takes on an interesting spin if we know that\nearnest\nwas a vernacular term for\ngay\nin 1895 . thus the closing line may subvert the entire play , although not to the surprise of anyone who has been paying attention .\ni always liked this film and was glad when it came out on dvd . based on a popular book , the film version was thoroughly enjoyable and reflected the general view of the shades of innocence of the time in which it is set . no swearing , no violence , just good family viewing - although the children might not be as enthusiastic as some of the adults .\noscar wilde ' s story retold in delightful fashion , this is a classic film from childhood television .\nunlike the bulk of the film career of the person known as anna faris . . this story is sincere . you will also feel like you are stretching out your mind in an . . .\nthere are numerous small film artefacts ( far too numerous to list ) , but there is nothing that stands out - once you accept that there will be film artefacts simply because of the age of the film , you won ' t be troubled by them - they are all small . there is some mosquito noise on backgrounds , but you ' d be very fussy to complain about it .\nof all the performances i have seen , this film is the best . every role is filled by an actor easily up to the task ( even dorothy tutin is superb in her film debut as the somewhat naive young cecily ) . i fear that part of the problem is that this film predates most of the other performances , and so the actors feel they will be judged against this film and therefore try too hard . wilde ' s lines must be delivered naturally for greatest impact . the wit requires no accentuation , no ornamentation ( except , of course , the multi - note delivery by edith evans of\na handbag ? ! ? !\n. . . ) .\nthe girls have a war of words making offensive remarks while the other shoots straight back with an even more offensive comeback . one example of this is when cecily is talking about being able to see five counties from the top of the hill .\nthe importance of being earnest is a brilliant parody of english upper - class life , a life endearingly snobbish , defiantly idle and only remotely connected with reality . peter gill ' s production glitters like a many - faceted diamond . . . penelope keith is lady bracknell , holding the great trumpet voice in lofty restraint : a star giving a star performance , she knows that charisma is quite enough .\nthe sunday times\nthe opening and closing scenes framing this film as a stage production don ' t quite work , and can be safely ignored , but that aside , anthony asquith ' s film is a lesson in how to bring a theatrical comedy hit to the screen .\ncolour is surprisingly good for a 50 year old film , even if the colours aren ' t completely accurate , and even if they vary a little ( even within the one scene ) . there are some good strong colours , but nothing is ever fully - saturated - it ' s not a problem , though - this film looks much better than the faded films we see from the 1970s . there are no colour - related artefacts . by the way , don ' t judge the colour of the film by the cover of the dvd - the cover looks like a\ncolorized\nblack - and - white photo - the film does not look like that .\nthis is a great movie but looking at other reviews it seems impossible to find a decent quality dvd version of it . i found both the picture quality and sound below par of the dvd i received . please can someone put out a version with a high quality transfer from film ? an english classic of this type should be of the highest possible quality to match the writing , acting and film production .\nthis film was released in 1952 . it was made in technicolor . what i cannot discover is what the original aspect ratio was . given that it was made in england , in the early 1950s , i ' d expect either 1 . 37 : 1 ( academy ratio ) or possibly 1 . 66 : 1 .\nthe art directors guild established a hall of fame to honor contributions of legendary production designers and art directors of the past .\nrather than directly use oscar wilde ' s name , this production was promoted instead as being by ' the author of lady windermere ' s fan ' .\ngood film version of a brilliantly witty play , albeit a film which does not , wisely i think attempt to disguise its theatrical origins . striking costumes , good sets , sumptuous camera work . edith evans recreating her famous lady bracknell , and everyone else giving very polished performances .\n2 . william keach contends that lady bracknell\u2019s \u201ccross - examination of jack lays the groundwork for much of the rest of the plot\u201d ( p . 184 ) , and that the underlying tension of the play depends upon \u201cthe contrast of city and country so important to the double lives being led\u201d ( p . 183 ) . explain these two points , then develop one of them into a suitable essay topic .\nthe source code for the wiki 2 extension is being checked by specialists of the mozilla foundation , google , and apple . you could also do it yourself at any point in time .\ngielgud was equally loyal to the text and famously brought out wilde\u2019s lines in the best way , filling his cast with famous british actors of the time . this included edith evans as lady bracknell , joyce carey as gwendolen , angela baddeley as cecily and margaret rutherford as miss prism . edith evans\u2019 famous delivery of lady bracknell\u2019s line \u2018a handbag\u2019 is remembered today , and she went on to star in the 1952 film adaptation which cemented the character\u2019s infamy .\none of the themes of wilde\u2019s play is the unreliability of language . how do parker\u2019s choices emphasize or elaborate on that theme ?\nthe important of being earnest is oscar wilde ' s most famous play . oscar wilde was and is an important writer . his wit and humour is unmatched . if it wasn ' t for the\nscandal\n, his work would be taught in schools today along with william shakespeare ' s .\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 .\nthe film opens with members of a victorian theatre audience taking to their seats . when they open their programmes , the film ' s credits are revealed , printed inside . once the curtain rises , one of the viewers uses her eyeglasses to take us into the action , shortly after which we are shown a mixture of location and studio shots . the curtain falls again at the end of the last act . although this might have made the film seem too stage - bound , it actually helps in giving the eccentric characters and outrageous plot the grounding in theatrical tradition that any faithful adaptation needs to succeed , though inevitably even asquith ' s best efforts result in a charming cross - breed .\nbecause this film , this play , is endlessly , one might even say infinitely quotable and delivered impeccably by an almost flawless cast .\ncheck out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy , the predator , zoe , and the king of thieves .\nthis production was promoted as being the return of the two original lead actors to the roles they created , namely george alexander as ' john worthing ' and allan aynesworth as ' algernon moncrieff ' . allan aynesworth stayed with the production for it ' s full run of nine months - the longest continuous west end run of this comedy .\nthe importance of being earnest is , for me , the funniest play ever written . it is extraordinary that it was the last play oscar wilde wrote . i ' ve seen two or three live performances ( not as many as i ' ve seen hamlet s , but more than any other comedy ) , i watched the australian performance broadcast on the abc ( with , if i remember correctly , gordon chater as all of the servants , and ruth cracknell as lady bracknell ) ; i ' m also quite familiar with this film version . amusingly , i haven ' t seen the recent remake - it ' s not on dvd yet , and i tend not to visit the cinema these days - i hear tell that it isn ' t a patch on this performance , anyway .\nafter her part in the disastrous attempt to revive to the manor born over christmas , one hoped against hope that penelope keith would be able to redeem herself as lady bracknell in the importance of being earnest . there are precious few great roles available on the english stage for actresses of miss keith ' s age , but this formidable old dragon is undoubtedly one of them . alas , so far from making the most of this gift , miss keith leaves it all but unwrapped . . . peter gill ' s production of wilde ' s masterpiece is otherwise a great joy to behold , with some beautiful sets by william dudley , immaculate costumes by joan hughes . . . made this one of the most staggeringly good -

- giving , not receiving .\nafter seeing how much revenue the return of jafar , aladdin and the king of thieves , and the tv series was bringing , the studio decided to milk off of beauty and the beast next . this film was made in vancouver , only for the studio to be closed down 5 years after this film\u2019s release .\nbeast enters his room , and sees that there is a present on his table , but lumiere tells him that he cannot open it , since it is not christmas yet . lumiere convinces beast to do christmas , because he tells the beast that belle is giving him a present because she cares for him . it is annoying that beast only says she is beautiful . he demands forte to make a song for belle , which pisses him off , since it is making beast happy , which forte hates .\nbelle is one of disney ' s most beloved princesses because she ' s not just beautiful , she ' s also kind , thoughtful , intelligent , and generous . except for the selfish forte and the confused fife , all of the enchanted items in the castle are caring and want to help release beast from the curse .\nso an organ named forte ( tim curry ) gets news from his assistant fife ( paul reubens ) that beast and belle are getting close , and because beast likes forte\u2019s gloomy music ( now that he is a beast ) he wants fife to break up belle and beast , so they do not become human .\nafter the wolf attack , belle somehow gets beast onto the back of a horse and brings him back to the castle .\nso all of the tools enter her cell , and angelique sings a rehash of the christmas song to cheer belle up . forte is trying to keep beast in a crappy mood , but the beast suddenly changes his mood when he sees the present that belle got him . he opens it , and reads the book that she created for him , which gives him hope , and he leaves . beast enters her cell , apologizes , and asks for her forgiveness , which she gives him , and they all want to give belle the christmas she wants . * eye roll *\nshoot the dog : the beast kills forte when he goes completely , irreversibly nuts .\nthe beast storms into the wood room , and lashes out at belle for planning christmas behind his back , and that her stupid wishing logs won\u2019t work , since he is sure last year , she did not wish to be here . he tells her that there will be no christmas , and she runs off , saying that she will never give up .\nfamilies can talk about the movie ' s message about friendship . was forte a true friend to beast ? what motivated him to deceive both beast and belle ?\nbelle ( voiced by paige o ' hara ) tries to prepare the castle for the christmas season despite beast ' s ( robby benson ) disinterest in holiday cheer . but while most of the enchanted figures are excited to help belle , a mean - spirited pipe organ named forte ( tim curry ) enlists his small pal , fife ( paul reubens ) , to foil the possibility that belle could break the curse . forte convinces belle to trek into the dangerous black forest to get a christmas tree , which belle believes will make beast happy . forte , however , pretends that belle has abandoned beast .\nin the scene where cogsworth is making it clear that the beast will not let christmas into the castle , the chip in chip ' s head is on the right side of his head but in the next shot it is on the left side .\nit\u2019s always seemed kind of lame that beast makes a giant snowball and totally wastes it .\nthe beast in the animated movie freaks out when belle gets close to the enchanted rose , smashing things and screaming at her to get out , terrifying her . in this movie , he just shouts at her a bit and belle runs away while declaring she can ' t stay a minute longer , making her reaction look out of proportion , not beast ' s .\nat the beginning of the song\nas long as there ' s christmas\nthe first bit of music and the way the snowflakes swirl through the room is similar to pochantas '\ncolors of the wind\nwhen the leaves twirl through her hair and the music is the same .\nmy opinion right after the film is that while the music is nice , i do not like that it almost completely distorts the continuity of beauty and the beast , and it makes both of the main characters worse without even intending to do it . there is a great concept somewhere , but the poor execution held it back .\ndisc # 1 -

and truly , the film attempts to paint the subject of the dead mothers as something important and an element that belle and beast could bond over and their characters develop with , but aside from one or two scenes they ' re never integrated fully into the plot .\ndisc # 1 - - beauty and the beast : the enchanted christmas play scene selection bonus features sing along with all your favorite songs / the words pop up on - screen ! sing along with all your favorite songs / the words pop up on - screen ! : on sing along with all your favorite songs / the words pop up on - screen ! : off set up audio options english 5 . 1 dolby digital fran\u00e7ais 5 . 1 espa\u00f1ol 5 . 1 portugu\u00ease 5 . 1 subtitles subtitles : none english for the hearing impaired fran\u00e7ais espa\u00f1ol portugu\u00eas sneak peeks disney ' s fast play\nbelle ( paige o\u2019hara ) goes outside to skate , and the beast ( robby benson ) falls when he sees her . belle is overly nice and is trying to get the beast to skate with her . wait ; wasn\u2019t she still a bit annoyed with the beast , and it was him reaching out to her at around this time ?\nthe original animated \u201cbeauty and the beast\u201d is a masterpiece \u2015 aka the type of stuff they keep in the disney vault . it\u2019s hard for any remake to live up to that , even with emma watson \u2019s hermione granger magic . but what enchantment the new movie lacks from the original , it makes up for in fan service .\nbelle and chip are talking about beast\u2019s grumpy attitude , and then she speaks to chip about christmas , and the concept that everyone gets presents . she soon comes up with the idea of creating a book for the beast for christmas , and sings a song called \u201cstories\u201dm which is actually a nice song , and connects the belle in the movie from its predecessor . so she wants to kill his demons , and so he can get away from the troubles of his life . the animation in this song is really nice too . it is really bothersome that belle left the castle in her first day in the castle , and like\u2026 . . a day or two later , she wants to get to know him .\nin the early stages of production , the film was planned to be a direct - to - video sequel to the original film , taking place after the events of the first film and featuring gaston ' s vengeful younger brother , avenant , as the villain . as the film would no longer be\nbeauty and the beast\n, however , the filmmakers felt it would lack the magic of the original , and decided to change the story entirely , making it into a midquel .\ngetting crap past the radar : the real christmas miracle in the movie is how they got away with an organ telling the beast ,\nif you ' re turned on , then just turn off !\nas part of his villain song .\nbelle and the beast are ice skating , but when belle falls onto the snow , her ice skates have turned to brown boots .\nbelle stubbornly persists in her preparations , so forte tricks her into defying the beast ' s orders , going to the black forest for a christmas tree . there she is trapped on an ice floe . when the beast finds out where she is , he rescues her and then locks her up in his dungeon for defying him . but\nthere was a lovely moment , before the bath mats and key chains came to seem more important than the movies , when the disney imprimatur promised and delivered magic . that moment was in 1991 , with the release of beauty and the beast . two years before , the little mermaid had shown what the new regime of michael eisner and jeffrey katzenberg was capable of , mixing a bit of old walt ( young heroes with single parents ; goofy anthropomorphic sidekicks ) with new flash ( faster pacing , showstopper musical numbers ) . with beauty , the company perfected that approach , adding throwaway wit , visual splendor , and characterizations that went beyond craft into the arena of art .\nlefou :\nblood , and explosions . . . and the widows .\nbelle and the beast are this as usual , but with their backstories , it ' s taken up a bit more .\nthe sequel , oddly , takes place during the original . it seems that while belle ( voiced again by paige o\u2019hara ) is imprisoned in the castle \u2014 but before she and the beast ( robby benson ) fall in love \u2014 she decides to warm the place up with a christmas celebration . the enchanted household retainers \u2014 lumiere the candlestick , cogsworth the clock , mrs . potts the teapot \u2014 are all for the idea , but the grinchy beast hates the holiday and is backed up by forte , the court composer who has been transformed into a swaggering , computer - animated organ ( tim curry , pulling out all the stops with lubricious vocal hauteur ) . and \u2014 how\u2019s this for motivation ? \u2014 since forte now has his boss\u2019 ear , he wants to stay an organ .\nthe film takes place at a time where females are expected to stay in the kitchen , and those who show signs of intelligence are shunned . while the worst that happens to belle is the townsfolk destroying her washing machine , pirates of the caribbean dead men tell no tales , which was released only two months after beauty and the beast , shows that she could ' ve had a worse fate in being tried for witchcraft and hanged .\nthe movie fixes this , too . belle just asks beast to get up . problem solved .\nthe clip of the beast demanding belle to join him for dinner has him looking less angry and more annoyed . in the context of the film , however , it makes sense , as the beast never intended to let belle live comfortably in the castle - it was the servants ' idea , and he ' s just going with it and isn ' t pleased , hence the irritated tone .\nthe movie is very dark and scary throughout . beast growls in anger a couple of times and trashes the room he ' s in when he hears bad news . belle , chip , and fife nearly drown in icy waters in a frightening sequence . when beast saves the day , he stomps around angrily . beast places belle in the dungeon and tells her she can rot in there for the rest of her life . there is a creepy , evil organ that appears throughout and could cause nightmares .\nin one of the standout moments from the movie , we finally get to see what happens when beast throws a snowball , and it is glorious .\nmany critics find the beast ' s cg makeup unconvincing and wonder why the filmmakers didn ' t use actual makeup like in previous live action adaptations .\nbelle gets everyone to sing as long as there\u2019s christmas , which will get their spirits about capitalism and corporate america up , and even i have to admit that this is another good song . the entire castle is decorated now , and soon enough , beast finds out . i am assuming that fife told forte , who told him .\nstraight to video sequel that , unlike most recent attempts , actually has somewhere to go . the animation is so - so and the songs aren ' t too bad . some nice new characters and funny moments make this perfect for family viwings and who could hate christmas ?\nvisual effects of awesome : the visual effects used to bring the beast , the servants and more to life are simply fantastic . the effects also really , really shine in the be our guest sequence .\nbeast : [ recovering from slipping on the ice ] i fell , and landed on my . . . [ looks at his bottom , then hides it with his cape ] beast : on , on the ice . see more \u00bb\nbeast singing\nevermore\nafter belle leaves . many find the song a great tearjerker and a decent addition to the scene , while others feel that , while the song itself is okay , its placement really takes away from the mood and the scene would have been way sadder had the beast simply roared in agony like he did in the animated version .\nthe only two actors who did not reprise their roles from beauty and the beast ( 1991 ) were hal smith ( phillipe ) and bradley pierce ( chip ) . smith , who passed away in 1994 , was replaced by frank welker while pierce ' s role was taken over by haley joel osment because pierce ' s voice had changed due to growing older .\nbought this for my daughter for xmas . she loves the original and watches it often . after reading the other reviews it sounds as though this tells the story inbetween belles arrival at the beasts castle and when he turns back into the prince and set at christmas time so a perfect stocking filler . im sure we will all be watching it come boxing day and singing along to the songs .\nremember the new guy : the movie introduces several characters that never appeared before and after the events of winter . forte being the most jarring one because he ' s established as being very close to the beast .\nwriters cannot do math : this wreaks havoc on the original film ' s already debated timeline , especially with the re - insertion of the\nhuman again\nsong , which establishes that the beast has trouble remembering how to read in early spring but has no trouble reading the book belle gave him for christmas .\neasily forgiven : fife . though since we saw very little of him after christmas he probably wasn ' t so easily forgiven after all .\nthis villain is creative . he is receiving attention now because the beast is nothing but gloomy , and being human would take that power his music has over the beast . creative , but he cannot do much when he is stuck in one place .\nbelle prepares the castle for christmas against beast ' s wishes , trying to bring him happiness for the season . forte , a pipe organ , fears that belle ' s plans may eventually bring about an end to the curse . . . the curse that brought him more importance in the . . . ( more )\nreal talk : belle is supposed to be the nerdy disney princess . she likes science and inventing and reading like it ' s her job \u2014 yet she is completely blindsided by the fact that the beast is not only human , but royalty . bitch , you even sung a foreshadowing song about meeting prince charming in disguise . and it never once occurred to you that the only man living in a giant , enchanted castle in the woods is at least a count ? get it together , belle .\nwhen the beast enters belle ' s cell , he leaves the door open . however , when forte plays his tunes to bring the castle down , the door is closed and locked . see more \u00bb\nbeast tells belle to stay out of the west wing , and , yeah , we get it . that place has the rose . ( plus , it\u2019s gross there . ) but is there an even more sinister reason beast wants to keep it private ?\nso we have the rehash of the wolf scene in the last movie , where belle is falling in the water , cracking under the ice , and needs to be saved by the beast . looks like she did not get her tree .\nthe enchantress ' s curse affects the household servants differently than the beast . when the last petal falls , they permanently become non - sentient household objects , effectively dead\nharsh . but it gets more confusing when you see the beast destroy a portrait in the beginning of the movie . this picture looks like the prince as he appears at the end of the film .\nof course , forte is much worse , hoping to prevent beast ' s prohibition from being lifted , as he does not want the curse broken . ( he knows that the happier beast is , the more likely that will happen . )\na more minor case , but some of the conversations belle had with beast in the animated film , such as him giving her a new room and telling her to stay out of the west wing , were instead given to belle , lumiere and cogsworth in this film , leaving some to question why they would remove important scenes between belle and beast to give to belle and two side characters instead .\nsave on classic and contemporary films online and in store through 8 / 6 .\nthe animation is not pleasing to the eye . the character designs are horrid , the continuity is a bit off , and it just looks\u2026\u2026weird . the coloring is not as sharp as it needs to do , and the blend between the foreground and the background is not that good .\nmy biggest issue with the film is how it flanderizes belle and beast , and literally makes belle a mary sue . i think there is some inconsistencies with the timeline , and a lot of the characters ( specifically the new ones ) added nothing to the film . the story was not bad , and there was effort put into it , but the execution makes it suffer . belle and beasts relationship does not look good in this film .\nthe beast ' s design . many think it looks fine and like that it isn ' t exactly the same as in the original movie . others claim he doesn ' t look scary enough and looks more like chewbacca with ram horns .\nsome of the stuff like lumiere ' s accent and beast ' s more annoyed - than - truly - angry things actually find some people to enjoy them .\none of the best scenes from the animated version is when beast saves belle from a hungry pack of wolves . that stuff is sick . but the scene also leaves us with a frustrating question : how the hell did belle get a limp , injured beast onto that horse ?\njerk with a heart of gold : probably the best example in the beast ' s history . he ' s squarely in the middle of his character development , still angry , still depressed , and still struggling with his temper and beastly instincts , but undeniably good and kind deep down .\nvillainous breakdown : forte goes absolutely berserk at the climax of the film because he thinks that he ' s no longer important . he proceeds to play his ear - splitting music recklessly in an attempt to bring the whole castle down and crush belle and the beast .\nthe special features are pretty enjoyable , too . embarrassingly , my favorite is the \u201cenchanted environment\u201d crackling fireplace . i had that on for a couple hours one night while i screwed around on the internet . it makes for great , relaxing ambiance . admittedly , it\u2019s something i would\u2019ve never even checked out but for this review , and i found it incredibly enjoyable . likewise , the behind the scenes featurettes and the music video are also fun .\nmusical assassin : forte is able to partially destroy the castle as well as send beast flying with his magical music powers .\nso forte loses his shit , and plays so the entire castle can break , and everyone can die . fife tries to stop him , but when his solo ( which forte used on fife to get him to do his dirty work ) , fife cries , and beast enters the room to lose his shit . we have this over the top climax , and the beast does something to the keyboards to have forte self - destruct . i am going to make a list of murderers of the disney princes .\nwell i must say i am not very fond of the sequels ( or prequels in this matter ) but of the the classic animated ones this is absolutely my favorite . i do agree that the quality of the animations or not as good as in the original . but because of the original story and the really wonderful song as long as it\u2019s christmas , i was pretty hooked on this one , great voice acting and all in all it made me feel very much into the christmas spirit . since i am clearly an adult guy 37 years old , that makes me the exception perhaps , but i see it once a year at the least !\nit\u2019s theorized that the broken furniture pieces in the west wing are actually unfortunate servants that beast unknowingly destroyed after being cursed . it turns out that\u2019s probably not the case .\ni have this video from when i was about 6 years old and i really enjoyed it back then . i haven\u2019t really watched it since but i might get the old vhs out and watch it . i don\u2019t remember much about it but i definitely remember the \u2018as long as there\u2019s christmas\u2019 song = d\n: the beast ! he does look kinda cute for somebody who ' s referred to as creepy - looking in - universe .\nparents need to know that this unexpectedly dark holiday tale includes several potentially frightening scenes and a character who ' s especially mean and manipulative . younger kids may be disturbed when beast rages and starts destroying everything in his path or when belle , chip , and fife almost drown in icy waters . the mean - spirited forte , who is extremely creepy and could cause nightmares , is a negative example of how a friend should act , but all of the other characters are quite sweet and giving , particularly belle , who - - as always - - is kind - hearted and just wants to show beast the joy of the christmas season . if you are looking for a sweet holiday tale , this is not it ; it is far scarier than you might expect for a disney holiday title .\nduring the song ' as long as there ' s christmas ' , in one shot we see cogsworth with a tray with six wine glasses on it . moments later there are now only four on the tray .\n: as questionable as the enchantress was in the original film , due to how she cursed the innocent servants as well as the prince , her actions in this film are even worse . she twists the knife on the beast by giving him\nlyrics : there is more to this time of year than sleighbells and holly mistletoe and snow those things will come and go don ' t look inside a stocking don ' t look under the tree the one thing we ' re looking for is something we can ' t see far more precious than silver and more splendid than gold this is something to treasure but it ' s something we can ' t hold as long as there ' s christmas i truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we ' ll receive ( we ' ll receive ) as we all pray together ( ohhh ) it ' s a time to rejoice and though we may look different we ' ll all sing with one voice ! as long as there ' s christmas i truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we ' ll receive ! as long as there ' s christmas , we ' ll all be just fine ! a star shines above us , lighting your way and mine ! as long as there ' s christmas , i truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we ' ll receive ! as long as our guiding star shines above , there ' ll always be christmas ! so there always will be a time , when the world is filled with peace and love . i do not own the music , it ' s here for all to enjoy . all rights go to rightful owners .\nbelle prepares the castle for christmas against beast ' s wishes , trying to bring him happiness for the season . forte , a pipe organ , fears that belle ' s plans may eventually bring about an end to the curse . . . the curse that brought him more importance in the master ' s life . forte uses fife , a flute who desperately wants a solo , to destroy belle ' s plans and get rid of her .\none could argue that the beast ' s reaction was also out of proportion as , unlike the animated film belle does not try to touch the rose , in fact she doesn ' t even remove the glass casing yet the beast still screams in her face to get out just for merely looking at something that would garner attention .\nforte : so , beast gets girl and it ' s a happy ending for everyone . enchantment lifted and forte fades into the background , no longer important , no longer needed . . . . i ! think ! not !\nas belle and chip are out cutting trees , forte plays a solemn song , and fife plays a whistle , which gets the dog to enter their room . she meets them , introduces herself to forte , and they talk about her plans . he convinces her to go to the dark forest , which she has doubts about , since she is not supposed to leave the castle , but forte tells her that the beast loves big trees , and tells her that he will not tell beast that she left .\nwhile i had some concerns about her in the first film , she is legit a mary sue in this film . she is executed like the perfect person , she does no wrong , and it is about what she wants . and the way she ponders to beast was completely pathetic and so not like belle in the first film . not pleased .\nbeyond the substance of the film , this is actually a fairly solid blu - ray release . the audio is master audio dts hd 5 . 1 , and on my system , it sounded excellent , especially the awkward organ scenes and the musical numbers throughout the film . the bass is deep and the audio is very balanced overall .\nthe new movie eliminates the old timeline , making the prince older when the curse happens and being vague on specifics of exactly how long the curse has been going . it also says the curse made the townsfolk forget about the castle and everyone inside it , fixing that problem , too .\nbelle bothered me the most in the film , and probably for the same reason that you are . they should have never made the film ."]}

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

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

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

( a r18 is the japanese equivalent of an nc - 17 . )\nthe brilliance of \u201cr100 , \u201d if that word can be used to describe the film , is that it ramps up the bizarre meter so slowly that the audience never consciously realizes how subtly they were sucked into an uncertain absurdist unreality . one of the few things i know for sure is that i used the word \u201cif\u201d in four of the previous five sentences . that many qualifiers are unavoidable in order to accurately assess something so firmly entrenched in \u201cfor acquired tastes only\u201d territory .\n, a documentary that follows matsumoto over six months in 2010 . it has some fascinating behind the scenes look at matsumoto ' s process working with writers and other comedians and as he begins work on his third film ,\nthe r100 title is a play on the movie ratings r - 15 and r - 18 and represents the main character , played by omori , breaking through boundaries . filming wrapped last month , but further plot details and the production budget have not yet been announced .\nno one under 100 will be admitted !\ndang this looks crazy . drafthouse films has debuted their official us trailer for hitoshi matsumoto ' s r100 , a funky , wacky japanese thriller about a man ( nao ohmori of ichi the killer ) who joins an s & m club and gets into some crazy shit when dominatrices appear and kick his ass anytime of the day . the title r100 is a riff on the japanese movie rating system , whose equivalent to nc - 17 is r18 , and this is playing on the idea that it ' s not okay for anyone under 100 . ha . the new poster is a bit too much , aiming to sell it purely on the sex / s & m angle , but the trailer hints at the absurdity of the film in so many other ways . this definitely isn ' t for everyone , but it ' s not just for s & m fans either , i think . have fun . here ' s the official us trailer for hitoshi matsumoto ' s r100 ,\ni think the film veers off too far into such strangeness ( could there be a japanese tv game show spun off from all this ? ) , but connoisseurs of this kind of thing will find the ripeness hard to resist .\nthere is a point where characters sit in a waiting room and discuss the same r100 we ' re currently watching . after exhibiting exasperation at the absurdity they ' ve witnessed one says\ntoo much .\ndisappointingly , the real statement should be ' not enough . '\nalong the same meta - lines spoofing the film business are several interruptions in the story when characters think they feel an earthquake coming on . this is explained as being a nod to contemporary issues , apparently a requisite in japanese films .\nfun fact : asked about his film\u2019s divided critical reception at toronto , including a drubbing in the local paper , matsumoto noted the wild response from fans at its screening . \u201cit pleased a lot of people , anyway , \u201d he said .\nthen , about 40 minutes into the film , matsumoto introduces a new meta twist . ( see the reveal . ) in keeping with the s & m theme , matsumoto keeps changing r100 \u2019s direction , defying the audience in hopes of providing a more perverse kick . often , the results are astonishing . at its best , r100 resembles some of the more outr\u00e9 takashi miike films , crossed with the punch - drunk love - like story of a nebbish who gets in over his head when he tries to pursue a few moments of joy . the plot takes some less - rewarding turns down the stretch , but after a certain point\u2014when takafumi gets caught in the crossfire between an army of sadists and the covert government agency trying to bring them down\u2014viewers have to let go of expectations and trust that matsumoto is going somewhere .\nin the end , r100 does arrive at someplace oddly beautiful , concluding with a wondrous abstract homage to all those special souls who take pleasure from pain , both physical and aesthetic . when the film works , it isn\u2019t because matsumoto is playing to the cult - movie crowd\u2014he really isn\u2019t\u2014but because he\u2019s sympathetic to all the takafumis out there who fade into the background of the service economy . when takafumi is being pursued through the streets and then kicked in the face , his giddiness in understandable . finally , somebody\u2019s paying attention to him .\nit\u2019s easier to define what r100 isn\u2019t than what it is . first of all , despite the presence of ninja dominatrices , it\u2019s not a steamy thriller , and the raincoat crowd should apply elsewhere . ( might we suggest 1992\u2019s tokyo decadence ? ) \u201ccomedy\u201d is probably the most accurate word\u2014 r100 has a devilishly warped sense of humor , even if much of it is more \u201cwhat the fuck ? \u201d than laugh - out - loud funny . and if you can\u2019t call a movie with a character named the gobble queen , who literally swallows men whole , or the spit queen ( naomi watanabe , in a standout performance ) , who specializes in drenching her victims in flavored loogies , a comedy , then what do you call it ? director hitoshi matsumoto says he wanted to make a film that transcended the idea of genre , and in that respect , he has succeeded admirably .\nr100 is a movie starring nao ohmori , mao daichi , and shinobu terajima . an ordinary man with an ordinary life joins a mysterious club . the membership lasts for one year only and there is one rule : no cancellation under any circumstance . the man enters into a . . . see full summary \u00bb\nbut in the ensuing action , which encompasses spitting , whipping and sushi pounding ( use your imagination ) , other influences are also at work . as those who follow matsumoto\u2019s tv antics know , he is a devotee of the batsu game ( punishment game ) school of humor \u2014 and \u201cr100\u201d is an extreme example of it . it is as though , free to do as liked in his own film , he dreamed up \u201cpunishments\u201d far in excess of what even japan\u2019s lenient tv censors would allow . in excess , in fact , of anything resembling comedy , black or otherwise .\njapanese cinema is well known for the weird and bizarre and r100 certainly continues this tradition . directed by hitoshi matsumoto ( big man japan ) this dark and self -

aware side plot involving a focus group screening the same film verbally echoes identical sentiments of strangely delighted confusion running through the viewer\u2019s mind . matsumoto is in effect granting permission to stop questioning the madness and to start basking in the gloriousness of the insanity .\nthe first 40 minutes ( or so ) of r100 plays out in a quite\nordinary\nmanner . we get to know takafumi . his wife is in a coma since 3 years back . he has a son . he has a job as a salesman of furniture . he ' s looking for some excitement and that leads him to becoming a member of a club that offers surprise dominatrixes . they kick him around ( literally ) . they smash his sushi to mush . they hold him under water . he likes it .\ntrue , the section is devoted to quirk and kink , which fits matsumoto\u2019s fourth feature , about a man trapped in an ever - escalating s & m game , to a t . but if it did not feature the name of matsumoto , who has reigned for decades as a top tv comic , this mess of a film would probably not get the prestige boost of the toronto label , as well as its distribution in japan by hollywood major warner .\nbased on the novel by nobel laureate mo yan , red sorghum is a wonderful story of a young woman who inherits a distillery making sorghum liquour also known as kaoliang ( similar to japanese sake ) . made into an award winning film by zhang yi mou , this dance theatre adaptation presented by the song and dance theatre of qingdao performing arts group is a delight to the senses and is perhaps a closer rendition to mo yan\u2019s story as per his own admission\nmatsumoto\u2019s gigantically funny \u201cbig man japan\u201d ( 2007 ) hardly prepares one for his stylistic sadism here . so bleached of color that it\u2019s nearly black - and - white , \u201cr100\u201d begins in full - on noir mode , with takafumi katayama ( nao ohmori ) taking a beating from a cig - smoking , trenchcoat - clad bondage queen , his bruised body tumbling down a flight of stairs in a scene that playfully recalls the s & m - inflected classic \u201ckiss me deadly . \u201d the gag\u2019s visual punchline is a series of cheesy cgi ripples emanating from the head of the victim , signifying his dumbfounded ecstasy .\nrivers of spit and acres of shiny fetish wear glisten in the japanese fantasy \u201cr100 , \u201d a gleeful gross - out in which a meek salaryman hires an army of dominatrixes to do their cruel worst . the s - & - m gear has been selected with conspicuous care , from the pointy heels ( the better to kick bad boys down the stairs ) to the suitcase of instruments that look modeled on those in david cronenberg\u2019s gynecological horror show , \u201cdead ringers . \u201d in that 1988 movie , the sinister tool kit was for \u201coperating on mutant women\u201d ; here , it\u2019s hauled out to dig deeper under the viewer\u2019s skin .\nbut then the viewer has to accommodate these laugh - out - loud moments with the sobering fact that takafumi\u2019s beloved wife is in a coma and he has to look after his little boy arashi with only occasional help from grandpa . as the mix of straight drama with kinky madness gets wilder and wilder , the audience feels more and more uncomfortable about their guilty visual pleasures . it soon becomes apparent why matsumoto felt the need to preface the film with a warning that it\u2019s fictional and none of god\u2019s creatures were hurt in the making .\nthe film opens with an irresistible take - off on the dark lady thrillers of yore . in a well - heeled restaurant , takafumi is meekly talking to a sultry vamp about beethoven\u2019s ode to joy , when she kicks him in the face bruce lee style . he follows her out on the street , where she drops her trenchcoat , revealing a costume that would make victoria\u2019s secret blush , and kicks him down a flight of marble stairs . strange comic - strip ripples radiate out from his puffed - up face as he gets off on the mistreatment .\nin hitoshi matsumoto\u2019s r100 , nao omori plays takafumi katayama , a mild - mannered , deeply depressed department - store clerk who\u2019s been raising his grade - school - aged son almost on his own , while his wife lies in a coma at a nearby hospital . seeking a little escape , takafumi contracts with an unusual dominatrix service , which sends out leather - clad women to beat and humiliate him in public . but the thrills begin to cut a little close to home when the mistresses start interfering with his work , messing up his parenting , and showing up in his wife\u2019s room during visiting hours . and then takafumi discovers , to his dismay\u2014or perhaps delight\u2014that he can\u2019t cancel his subscription .\ntakafumi is pathetic because he achieves sublime transcendence every time leather - clad dominatrices beat him up . takafumi ' s masochism is , in that sense , not treated seriously\u2014sorry ,\nfifty shades of grey\nfans ! \u2014because it ' s just the catalyst for a series of abidingly strange episodes that are all about one thing : escaping the hell that is yourself . matsumoto ' s style of comedy is , in that sense , a far - flung descendant of jerry lewis ' slapstick - y , self - loathing schtick .\nr100\nis , consequently , a comedy that tries to alienate you by suggesting that escapism is futile , all things inevitably devolve , and nothing inherently means anything .\nthe climactic showdown , a crazed action set piece involving ninjas , grenades and an unexpectedly upbeat musical finish , gets at the essence of matsumoto\u2019s ingenuity : by pitting inexplicable weirdness against a somber quality , he makes bold grasps for the meaning of life and concludes his search with a shrug that serves the agenda at play : how does a ratings board apply logic to something in such gleeful defiance of it ? flaunting its extremes , \u201cr100\u201d gets away with the naughty sensibility . \u201cyou must always be submissive , \u201d takafumi is told by his captor , though the statement extends to the experience of the movie . there\u2019s no way to handle matsumoto\u2019s nutty storytelling unless you\u2019re willing to just sit back and take it .\nwhere was i ? oh , right , the plot . so , takafumi gets kicked in the face , and thrown down a flight of stairs by a very sexy , terribly bored woman , which makes takafumi realize how much he likes being dominated\u2014not necessarily in a sexual way , mind you , though yes , there is a lot of that in\nr100 .\ntakafumi desperately wants to escape his dreary home - life , which consists of taking care of son arashi ( haruki nishimoto ) while wife setsuko lies comatose in a nearby hospital . so takafumi joins a mysterious gentlemen ' s club whose services eventually escalate in perversity , from being dominated in a sushi restaurant to being flogged and spat on at home , right next door to arashi ' s bedroom .\naside from a cheeky running gag about earthquakes , matsumoto says that he isn\u2019t trying to make a larger social point here . but he does approach the subject of masochism from an interesting viewpoint . not only does r100 refrain from lampooning katayama\u2019s desire to get the crap beat out of him , it\u2019s sympathetic to it . take the scene where we see the character leaving the hospital where his wife is lying in a coma . the sky is gray , the music is melancholy , and it\u2019s all very sad . katayama walks with his shoulders slumped and his head down . then , out of nowhere , a woman clad in leather and high heels comes running towards him , knocks him to the ground , and starts kicking him violently . his face begins to contort in blissful ripples\u2014an effect rather like the lusty nosebleeds common in anime\u2014and one can feel katayama\u2019s release , the relief of feeling any sensation , even a painful one , after the numbness of grief .\nyou might not like this movie and as the movie itself states several times , that might be because you ' re too young for it . . . obviously that is meant to be a joke . and if you don ' t like the nature of the joke wait til you see the rest of it . it only gets weirder and is difficult to explain in a nutshell . a man is responsible for things going crazy for him , because he hires someone for that exact purpose . you have to really get into the mood of the film to like it and to enjoy it . something that cannot be said about the main character . on the other hand . . . who knows what is really going on with him ? you also get\nbreaks\nfrom the movie , with some weird analysis that kind of stops the flow . . . but on the other hand is a perfect fit , if you think about it . if you like weird and not really predictable , you will love this . otherwise stay clear\ncurrently in post -

go - round , he signs up with an exclusive club . membership is one year only and cannot be cancelled under any circumstances . happily he endures dominatrix intrusions in his daily life , until they get a little too close to his unsuspecting family . with a courage not displayed in his professional life as a bed salesman , he tries to cancel his membership , evoking the wrath of the american ceo , who descends upon tokyo to teach him a lesson\u2026\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nthe actress and director both love the genre , but as they told indiewire , they also knew it needed to be retrofitted to tell the true story of catherine weldon and sitting bull .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self -

cast tom cruise and his wife nicole kidman , well before anyone realized what a horrific idea that was . of course , the couple weren ' t so much\nvanilla\nas they were way more uncomfortable around one another than any married couple should be . according to the actor r lee ermey , kubrick regarded the film as a\npiece of shit\nand claimed that cruise and kidman\nhad their way with me .\nwe can ' t say who cameron would have cast had he set t2 four more years into the future , but some pretty intriguing actors were the right age in 1991 . christian bale was 16 at the time , clearing him to play a post -

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

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

inspired fictional character played by anushka shetty . she\u2019s a treat to watch . she wants rama to convey the essence of sri venkateswara mahatyam to devotees . this part of the film feels like reading amar chitra katha , with nuggets explaining the reason behind certain practices diligently followed in tirumala . through brief anecdotes explained through a song , you get the history of varaha swamy , venkateswara swamy kalyanam , what the lord\u2019s debt to kubera signifies and much more .\nthe story unfolds in an aesthetic setting with gopal reddy\u2019s cinematography , kiran kumar manne\u2019s art direction and visual effects coming together beautifully . m . m . keeravani\u2019s background score and songs like akhilanda koti are the perfect foil for this devotional .\nhowever , a few niggles crop up now and then . the romantic songs seem so out of place that you want to wish them away . so is the case with the comic interlude involving brahmanandam and prudhvi . vennela kishore\u2019s part thankfully blends with the narrative .\npragya jaiswal makes a brief appearance as rama\u2019s fianc\u00e9e . she has prayed for years for rama\u2019s return and tells him about all the rituals she\u2019s been following . soon after , in the scene where she lets rama follow his heart , it all happens in a few seconds . pragya plays it well , but somehow , this scene seems rushed through .\nwatch the film for nagarjuna who comes up with another memorable performance . as you watch the story of a devotee who puts his love for the lord above everything , it might make you go a little deeper and understand faith beyond rituals .\nsrividya palaparthi , tnn , updated : feb 11 , 2017 , 08 . 36 am ist\nsign up for a fanalert ! \u2122 and be the first to know when tickets and other exclusives are available in your area .\nthis show hasn ' t started yet . check back soon for rotten tomatoes scores .\nshould not compare with annamayya or sriramadasu . go to theater without keeping those movies in mind and then you will realize how good it is . watched twice .\nthe film is a biography based on the life and times of baba hathiram , the 18th century devotee of lord venkateshwara .\nright from his childhood days , ram ( nagarjuna ) takes upon a journey to make contact with the eternal powers of the god . he joins the ashram of padmananda swamy ( sai kumar ) in tirumala and gets enlightened about lord venkateswara and his spiritual powers . to seek more divinity , he reaches the main temple in tirumala and starts praying for the lord .\ngod answers his prayers as lord venkateswara himself appears before him and acknowledges his sincerity . during the same time , there are many other criminal factors that ram needs to face in the temple town . what are those problems ? what kind of relation does ram share with lord venkateswara ? how did he become hathi ram baba ? and where do krishnamma ( anuska ) and pragya jaiswal feature in this entire set up ? to know answers to these questions , you need to watch the film on the big screen .\nso much was said when saurabh raj jain was roped in to play the lord venkateswara . but let us tell you that no one could have played the role better than him . the way the young actor brings divinity to his character is superb and his chemistry with nag throughout the film is just amazing . anushka gets a good role and does decently well in her character .\njagapathi babu\u2019s character looks out of place and is the only disturbance in the film . his role and a song with anushka should have been chopped off to make things better . the first part of the second half has some slow pace as thing get bogged down a bit .\nthe film is super rich on the visual side . a special mention should go to the special effects team for showcasing tirumala and the surrounding areas in top notch mode . camera work is astonishing and brings a divine light to the film . keeravani\u2019s music and background score are supremely impressive and elevate the film completely . editing is decent except for the jagapathi babu episode .\ncoming to the director k raghavendra rao , he once proves that no one can beat him when it comes to making devotional films . his greatness lies in the way he narrates the story of less known hathi ram baba in a way that would not be loud and bore today\u2019s audience . the nag - raghavendra rao combo once again clicks big time and proves that old is always gold .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nwe use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website . this includes cookies from third party social media websites and ad networks . such third party cookies may track your use on filmibeat sites for better rendering . our partners use cookies to ensure we show you advertising that is relevant to you . if you continue without changing your settings , we ' ll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on filmibeat website . however , you can change your cookie settings at any time . learn more\nyou can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .\nthe film traces the story of ram , who comes down to tirumala all the way from north india , in search of god . at the abode of lord venkateswara , he contemplates for years on end on the advice of a gnani ( sai kumar impresses ) . the ' tapas ' is interrupted by the god himself who impersonates as a kid , whom ram shoos away out of ignorance .\nram once again receives god ' s call in his dream and this time , he has the guidance of both his guru and krishnamma ( played by anushka ) .\nhe soon becomes famous among the holy place ' s residents and pilgrims as he enlightens them with his puranic talks . under his aegis , the tirumala rituals attain their true glory even as his childhood mission of having a ' darshan ' of lord balaji ( saurabh jain ) and playing the game of dice with him remains unfulfilled .\nwhat happens when the lord sits down to play ' pachikalu ' with ram ? what is his idea behind choosing him to convey a message to the seekers ? what travails and tribulations does ram baba face in the process ? answers to these questions are found in the second half .\nteaming up with writer jk bharavi once again after ' annamayya ' and ' sri ramadasu ' , k raghavendra rao delivers a pack full of expected elements . the writer supposedly had no much material to draw from , not only because hathi ram baba ( whose tryst with lord balaji the film is about ) has not left a body of literary work , but also because his claim to ( whatever little ) fame owes to him playing a game of dice with his favourite god and about which nothing much is said to be known .\nat one level , thus , a script developed from such an anecdote can only be as good ( or as bland ) , as imaginative ( or as predictable ) , as novel ( or as hackneyed ) as the writer / director . to a large extent , this film ( ' onv ' ) doesn ' t throw up unheard - of philosophizing or never - seen - before godly behaviour . you get a list of do ' s and dont ' s when you are to tirumala , delivered sans much cinematic drama .\nthe lord ' s wives ( sridevi and bhoodevi , ably played by vimala raman and asmitha , respectively ) are depicted in the same way as they were in old - time movies : they argue with their husband , they smile like kids when he changes over into something else , they question his indifference and more . then there is a jagapathi babu - anushka duet , completely out of place , when they don ' t share the kind of relationship that mohan babu and roja did in ' annamayya ' .\nnagarjuna as ram baba exudes ' bhakthi rasa ' as if it was his second nature . a stunning performance generally , it reaches a crescendo in the scenes involving the lord ( saurabh jain is tall , handsome , emotes well with his sinless face , is confident , child - like ) .\nthere was a lot of hyping up about the dice - playing scenes involving the two characters , but the conversations are just about ok . even after the ' pachikalu ' is said to be analogous to our ' karmas ' , the philosophy is left untouched later . instead , we get a passing reference in the form of a proverb to what god intends to teach through his perennial debt servicing .\nif there is one actress in this generation who can get into the skin of any character she plays , it has to be anushka ( as krishnamma , she is remarkable ) . when she is saying ' muddu ga ' about god , she turns into girl - like . when she is singing hymns of god , she turns into a detached ' bhaktin ' . but it ' s a disappointment that , in a throwback to yesteryear cinema , she is made to dance with angst in the climax , much like those jaded heroines of the past .\nthe rao ramesh - sampath raj sub - plot is too folkish . it might have been unavoidable , but it ' s nevertheless insipid . pragya jaiswal as his ' maradalu ' bhawani is beautiful and expressive . sai kumar , ajay , ' kalakeya ' prabhakar , vennela kishore , brahmanandam and others fit the bill .\nmm keeravani ' s music is top - notch , especially ' kamaneeyam ' and ' akhilanda koti brahmanda nayaka ' . the rr is a - rated . s gopal reddy ' s cinematography is beautiful .\na proper tirumala devotional . artistically , it ' s much better than ' shirdi sai ' . nagarjuna is a super - mature actor who emotes with his eyes . saurabh and anushka complement him . fairly engaging writing from bharavi , although some stock elements could have been given a miss for good .\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the\nedit page\nbutton at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\nthe\nmost anticipated indian movies and shows\nwidget tracks the real -

[ do read : suriya singam 3 movie review & rating . ]\nstory : hathiram baba ( raama in the film ) was a devotee of lord rama . he will be so excited and determined to meet the god . raama\u2019s parents will set a marriage with his in - laws daughter . raama cancels the marriage and visits tirumala to see lord venkateswara swamy . there he meets anushka who will be supporting to eliminate the bad things which will happen at tirupathi . with the help of anushka , nagarjuna will be making more devotees for lord venkateswara . when he visited tirumala , he decided to stay there and set up an ashram outside the temple .\nreview : overall , it is a nice portrayal of hathiram baba , which begins with a devotee and ends with his devotional approach towards lord balaji at tirumala in 1500 b . c . a great watch for all the fans who wants to see nagarjuna and anushka in this traditional roles . the movie has good songs and the background music mesmerizes you and takes you to the feel . after leaving the theater you will think about nagarjuna for his outstanding performance in the role of hathiram baba .\nnagaprashanth \u200f @ chnp01yyy an amazing devotional journey that for sure would amaze one and all . loved it to its core . govinda govinda # omnamovenkatesaya # updatefromusa\nurltoken \u200f @ singavarapu1971 its an amazing experience by watching # omnamovenkatesaya @ iamnagarjuna and hats off to u krr . this generation required to know about god\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml + rdfa 1 . 0 / / en\nurltoken\nstory : the movie depicts the story of hathi ram baba who built his own ashram on tirumala hills . the ashram is still there on the hills . legend has it that lord venkateshwara had played dice with hathi rama baba . so this movie is based on that legend , and tells the story of it . as per the movie , it was rama ( nagarjuna ) , a devotee of lord venkateshwara , who put everything in place on the hills when all sevas were being done without following the agama rules . so impressed by rama ' s pooja and the right way of administration on the hills he brought , lord venkateshwara comes down to play with him . but only rama can see the lord , but not the people around him . when everything was going good for rama , lord loses his jewellery in the game to rama and next day people come to know the diety in temple was robbed of jewel . blame is put on rama . how would rama come out of these charges ? how he turns from rama to hathi rama baba is the rest of the story .\nanalysis to talk about the merits and demerits of devotional films is tough . those who have devotional bent would easily move with any scene involving lord and his mahatyam ' s in such films , but for others they don ' t add much excitement if they are not told effectively . so , devotional films are more subjective than any other genre movies . though we all know / read / seen movies about lord venkateshwara and his mahatyam , the story of hathi ram baba is less known . although director k raghavendra rao presents this movie like his old devotional movies , but he picks up momentum in the second half and tells the story of hathi rama there .\nat tirumala temple various poojas , sevas are conducted today . many of these seva ' s ( for example navaneeta harati , nijapada darshanam ) wre said to be introduced by this hathi rama baba . we come know to know through this movie . much of the movie focuses on documenting these aspects of hathi rama how he brought orderliness on temple premises , introduced sevas , how he brought the amenities like free food for devotees , etc .\none way it is a documentation guide of sevas and poojas . but the movie also has some good devotional moments between nagarjuna and sourabh jain . the scene of nag and sourabh jain playing dice in the lush hills of tirumala with various teerthas ( waterfalls ) forming the backdrop is stunning to watch . these scenes are sporadic .\nwhile entire first half lacks effectiveness , the second half of the movie redeems it with these scenes . more than the story and narration , what works effectively in the film are the cinematography and casting of lord venkateshwara . it won ' t be exaggration if we say sourabh jain as lord balaji is perfect . his apperance and his performance both are pitch perfect . and the cinematography is colorful . senior cameraman s gopal reddy and the visual effects have brought out best results .\nof the performances , sourabh scores with full marks . nagarjuna as hathi rama baba is good too . anushka gets lengthier role as krishnamma . pragya is there for only one song as maradalu of nagarjuna to provide some glamour to the eye . jagapathi babu ' s role comes off as silly . rao ramesh as govindrajulu is good . vennela kishore is okay .\nmusic by keeravani is mixed bag . couple of songs are lilting but the entire musical score is not that effective as his work was major strength in ' annamayya ' or ' sri ramadasu ' . director raghavendra rao has dissappointed with movies like ' pandurangadu ' and ' shiridi sai ' but his narration is better here .\nshe talks about tej i love u , her choice of movies and roles . . .\nrama ( nagarjuna ) and lord venkateswara or balaji ( saurabh jain ) as his devotee rama calls him , are seated overlooking a precipice , playing a game of dice ( pachikalu ) . the lord has lost to his devotee a few times earlier and this time , has arrived with his own dice and with garuda ( a brief role by ajay ) who monitors the game . the result is no different . the lord loses all his jewellery which he stakes . eventually , the temple priests notice the lords idol bereft of jewellery .\nby using www . bookmyshow . com ( our website ) , you are fully accepting the

based cocktail whose special appeal comes from the addition of maraschino liqueur . previously headed for the endangered species list , the aviation cocktail seems to be having a revival thanks to the internet . the aviation was once regarded as the prince of cocktails , but the scarcity of maraschino liqueur nearly sent the drink into tippler\u2019s oblivion . the name of this feisty depression -

very floral rothman and winter cr\u00e8me de violette reappeared in the us market , and the renewed possibility of making the aviation along the lines of the original ensslin recipe caught the fancy of the growing body of history - minded cocktailians . in short order , the blogosphere elevated the aviation to fashionable prominence .\nthis is the best aviation recipe ! the balances are perfect

1916 recipes for mixed drinks .\nfew cocktails beyond the aviation have called for creme de violette , and by the 1960 ' s it had disappeared from the u . s . market . this sent the aviation even further into obscurity until a recent cocktail renaissance and the re - release of the floral liqueur .\nthough bartenders loved the simple gin drink , they could never figure out why it was called

be careful about the cocktail ' s balance . without this seemingly insignificant ingredient , the aviation can quickly become too sour .\nthe aviation was the last american cocktail to be created and published before prohibition . sure there were speakeasies , but when prohibition arrived in 1920 , the production of cr\u00e8me de violette went right out the window .\nevery cocktail needs to be

trying it at a local speakeasy cocktail bar . it\u2019s a prohibition - era martini , consisting of gin , maraschino liqueur ( cherry ) , cr\u00e8me de violette , and fresh lemon juice . it\u2019s got a slight violet hue and it\u2019s nothing short of amazing . half of the ingredients are ordinary , the other half are\u2026say that again ?\nnoted for its beautiful color , this old - school gin aviation cocktail is as blue as the sky . created before prohibition , this staple was lost to the united states after the noble experiment . luckily , the return of lots of classic liqueurs and quality spirits put this cocktail back on the market .\nthe aviation cocktail uses a touch of one of the lesser known and harder to find liqueurs in the world : creme de violette . it\u2019s just what it sounds like \u2013 a liqueur that tastes like violets .\ni started getting serious about cocktails in may of 2002 . at that time the aviation ( gin , maraschino , lemon ) was \u201cthe secret handshake\u201d of the cocktail set \u2013 if you knew what the aviation was , you were \u2018in the know\u2019 . i believe dale degroff brought it back from obscurity , but it might be paul

straight - up . it is basically a gin sour but with lemon juice sourness balanced by sweet maraschino liqueur . . .\nyou may also want to check out the eagle cocktail , which also features creme de

cocktail book\n, which has been an influence on bartending guides since its first publication in 1930 .\nshake with ice , strain into a well - chilled cocktail glass . garnish with brandied cherry .\nthis liqueur may make the aviation what it really was meant to be , though even during the four decades of its absence the cocktail was still being made without it . interestingly , some connoisseurs have reverted to the maraschino - only recipe because they believe the modern creme de violette is not what it should be .\ncredit mad men for rekindling nostalgia for the 1950s and 60s if you must , but the aviation cocktail , a dramatic thriller that ' s cast , crewed , and filmed in colorado and nebraska during that era looks to be a different creature entirely .\nthe aviation is a great favorite of mine . so i\u2019d like to present a different point of view on its last decades .\neasily the best selling point is the aviation cocktail \u2019s soundtrack , by wilson helmericks and featuring snake rattle rattle snake . the film\u2019s lana del ray - meets - daughter compositions and arrangements set the varying moods perfectly and it \u2013 whilst not unfalteringly cathartic \u2013 is definitely worth checking out whether you manage to see the film or not .\nanother hot monday night at the flintridge proper . the happy hour had come and gone . now was the time for a real cocktail . on the table before me there was a small stemmed glass .\nshake the aviation hard enough that tiny flecks of ice float in the drink as soon as it is poured . stay clear of the gooey syrup in maraschino cherry jars . it\u2019s no substitute for the liqueur .\nunfortunately , aside from the introduction of some great ideas as well as some excellent cinematography and musical stylings , the aviation cocktail didn\u2019t soar as well as it should have \u2013 but definitely keep your eyes open for whatever any of those involved are up to next .\nshot in nebraska and touted as colorado\u2019s finest , the aviation cocktail is a \u201cdramatic thriller\u201d nonetheless most reminiscent of the south ; its story official description notes that \u201cadultery leads to jealousy which leads back to murder\u201d , but its sense of morality crushes some of the thrills it could have given .\nlike the world ' s finest gins , aviation is distilled using a proprietary maceration process that produces a pure medley of botanical flavor .\nthe aviation cocktail is chelsea flower show in a glass , combining gin , maraschino liqueur , lemon juice and cr\u00e8me de violette . and until a few years ago , it was impossible to make properly , because cr\u00e8me de violette had disappeared from the shelves .\nvalentine , ne was chosen as the primary location for ' the aviation cocktail ' , not only because it was the ideal setting for the story , but also because the film friendly community supported the production through the economic development board . consequently , nebraska senator colby coash pushed film incentive bill lb863 into law and alexander payne took advantage of the new state tax credits , shooting his film ' nebraska ' around norfolk , ne .\nthus , the arrival of cr\u00e8me de violette has made the aviation the centerpiece of a robust , larger conversation about whether cocktail recipes , especially the first publication recipes , should be considered law , or merely guidelines ; and to what extent it\u2019s reasonable to change proportions , to add , subtract , or substitute ingredients , or even change the size of the pour , before the drink takes on such a different character that it becomes a different product altogether . can a cocktail properly evolve beyond its original definition ? or , as it loses its fidelity to the \u201coriginal , \u201d must it be considered an entirely different cocktail , signified at the very least by a different name ?\nthe nick and nora cocktail glass is smaller than most , and as the waldorf bar book notes ,\nthe cocktail , taken according to general practice , is not sipped as is wine . if it is not gulped , it is usually finished in three swallows , or at most four .\na warm baked apple aroma and flavor treat the palate when taking a sip of the treacle . with wonderful notes of cinnamon the treacle is the perfect cocktail to show off a delicious spiced rum like sailor jerry spiced rum .\nthe aviation is one of those unheard of treasures . it\u2019s a cocktail you\u2019ve probably never heard of , but need to get to know right now . up until a year ago , i had never heard of the aviation . i started to see it in tv shows , online , in restaurants , everywhere . it\u2019s one of those things you don\u2019t notice until you actually notice it\u2014and then you see it all over the place .\nwe really do not know who first created the aviation cocktail . according to david wondrich ' s\nimbibe !\n, it was first printed in a 1916 book by hugo ensslin called\nrecipes for mixed drinks\n. it has always been difficult to gauge how popular the cocktail was at the time and because the two key liqueurs were likely just as rare as they are today , it is assumed that this was a specialty drink served at only the most elite of bars .\nno c . d . v is no aviation i don\u2019t like the raste of maraschino very much but in the aviation it has a perfect counterpart : c . d . v i would like to sample your c . d . v , seems to bring more colour in the drink then my giffard c . d . v\nbut here at aviation , we have our own way of doing things . aviation old tom is aged for one year in used whiskey barrels made from american white oak . the aging process brings out the democratic blend of botanicals so this old tom mixes like a gin and drinks neat like a whiskey .\nhi , don\u2014i agree that the cr\u00e8me de violette seems to be a natural for the aviation . on the other hand , absent cr\u00e8me de v . , respected bartenders made the drink without for decades . we work with what we have , i guess . it\u2019s fascinating to me how drinks get redefined over time , based on available ingredients , and the aviation is a good example of that .\ni ' ve tried every gin on the planet and aviation is , hands down , the best . also , i don ' t recommend trying every gin on the planet . stick with this one .\nnew year ' s eve is the last day of

\u201cthe aviation cocktail\u201d features excellent production values , spectacular photography and a poignant music score ( it\u2019s also great to see so many great old american cars all in one movie ) . higgins direction is surprisingly solid , especially for a first timer . he knows where he wants to take his characters and what he wants the film to say . though there are some logical problems with the film\u2019s major plot twist , \u201cthe aviation cocktail\u201d is a potent and brooding indie film that features richly developed characters and some excellent performances ( kiger , eaton and lockhart stand out ) . this is a quality film that needs to be embraced by the indie community .\nthe aviation has been around at least since 1911 , according to david wondrich\u2019s imbibe ! it has been flying well under the radar ever since . or at least ever since there was radar .\nshake the gin , maraschino liqueur , and lemon juice well with ice ; then strain into a cocktail glass . garnish with a maraschino cherry , if desired .\nbut when the film opens with a magnificent aeronautical sequence that exudes tension , yet also calmness , you forget about wanting to delve into plot . the imagery , along with the tone of the opening track , evokes the sombre and awe - inspiring feeling that still warms the stomachs of anyone who has seen the wind rises . all the aviation cocktail needs is to set the film\u2019s entire plot inside that small , private aircraft and director david r . higgins would have a hit on his hands . alas , the plane touches down and pilot , jack fisher ( michael haskins ) exits in search of the plot .\nit\u2019s hard to tell what to expect going into the aviation cocktail . the film\u2019s trailer touts a tantalising 1950\u2019s small - town familial set - up ( \u201cone part passion , two parts betrayal and a splash of blood\u201d ) , laying out a dramatic tale of broken friendships and icy love lives ; but it\u2019s not exactly telling exactly what the film\u2019s plot is .\ni love your take on the use of the cdv , and the conventions of naming . i would note that your recipe called for london dry gin but listed plymouth ( the only remaining producer of the \u201cplymouth\u201d style of gin , sweeter and decidedly more floral than a classic london dry ) , so the flavor and sweetness of the cocktail would be different than if one used the bombay dry\nin a meticulously monitored process , the first fluid leaving the still , the\nheads ,\nis removed . collecting the\nheart of the spirit\nthroughout the run

that as great as the aviation was , he had had a \u2018blue moon\u2019 ( an aviation plus cr\u00e8me de violette ) which was better . we all waited until 2008 when rothman and winter re - introduced cr\u00e8me de violette to the us , and by then there were lots of reprints of cocktail books and we all had ensslin\u2019s recipe in our hands . here is gary regan\u2019s take on that moment \u2013 urltoken\nhi , rhett , thanks for the comment , it really goes to the heart of the article .\nthe recipe concludes ,\nadjust the proportions to your liking . garnish with the violet blossoms .\nregulars come in to your bar for various reasons : their friends and colleagues go there . they enjoy the ambience . maybe they really like you and the other bartenders behind the bar . more than likely , they have a cocktail they really enjoy every time they sit at the bar . serving that cocktail and the others on the menu consistently is key to keeping your best patrons coming back again and again and is really quite simple . proper measuring using a jigger is paramount to creating consistency behind the bar .\nthe cast and crew endured freezing temperatures during the 17 day shoot , particularly during the graveyard showdown scene between beau kiger and connor boyle near the end of the film .\ntoday you will find the aviation on lists of classic cocktails that should be experienced , though it still should not be expected that it can be ordered at any bar . despite being available again , creme de violette is not part of the average bar ' s inventory , though there are some that are trying to revive the aviation and will create a fantastic version for you to taste .\nevery bottle of aviation gin is handcrafted in small 100 - case batches by a small , dedicated team of master distillers in portland , oregon .\nthe \u201cyellow\u201d aviation ( 1 . 5 gin , . 75 lemon , . 5 maraschino ) was a smash hit \u2013 in my life making instant believers out of cocktail skeptics . luxardo maraschino is great stuff , but easily overpowering and must be strictly measured or you will wind up with what harrington termed \u2018a glass of pixie stix\u2019\ngive the aviation a shot and see if you sink or soar . it\u2019s one of those cocktails , patty and i can both agree on . i\u2019m whiskey , she\u2019s fruity , this one is right down the middle .\nyour comment about the \u201cyellow\u201d aviation being a good sour is an excellent reminder that we should evaluate cocktails on their intrinsic qualities , as you did with this one . anyone who has spent time with old bar manuals knows that just because a drink is a century old doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s worth drinking ; and as you point out , just because a cocktail isn\u2019t the same as the \u201coriginal\u201d doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t good . thanks for the reminder .\nsome of the citrusy gins make a fun variant in this cocktail , especially if you want to try upping the lemon nose and flavor without pushing up the sourness . i\u2019ve used new amsterdam and bombay sapphire with good results , but there are many to play with .\none more paragraph , on behalf of the insane amount of people thanked in the credits ( that usually means volunteers and donators ) . if you\u2019re sensitive to details you may notice that one of the film\u2019s hangar shots might be a reference to the big combo , but you\u2019ll also know this isn\u2019t its equal . still , if you\u2019re having a lazy evening or something , it\u2019s enjoyable enough ; in that case i\u2019d recommend a film noir double feature : the aviation cocktail , and something a little stronger .\nthe aviation cocktail has picked up accolades across the globe and for the most part it\u2019s easy to see why : there are great visuals every now and then , alongside some interesting thematic exploration of post - wwii life \u2013 but for every great production choice and character moment there are about four others that are doa . the actors\u2019 ranges are evidently there as , during select moments in the film , they all own the screen , but at other times it\u2019s hard to believe we\u2019re not watching a student film thanks to some weak camera angling and sound production .\nso i\u2019ll stick to the very narrow position that there seems little point in making an aviation without cr\u00e8me de violette . without it , the drink is ( a ) not charmingly blue ; and ( b ) not deliciously , memorably tasty .\nthe violette adds to the nose , and brings additional sweetness and a depth of flavor to the drink . i do believe that a healthy proportion of lemon helps the drink , and experimentation has brought me around to the idea that it should be small , very cold , and emphatically sour . not 2 : 1 sour , but noticably and bracingly sour . so here is the cold glass aviation :\nthe dynasty began with you ,\nreads the plaque above his remains .\nanyway , i\u2019m trying to step up my cocktail game and this site has been very beneficial . i have been voraciously reading everything you , david wondrich , et al . have to write on the subject . i\u2019m also enjoying amy stewart\u2019s \u201cthe drunken botanist\u201d . but , as subjective as cocktails are , you recipes always seem \u201cjust right\u201d and in - line with my tastes . even a wondrich version of the aviation i found online omits the cr\u00e8me de violette , but after seeking out all the ingredients recently and following the recipe above , i can\u2019t imagine omitting anything .\nthe aviation cocktail is smooth , flowery , assertive , yet sweet . like nothing you\u2019ve ever tasted\u2014so i honestly don\u2019t know what to compare it to . the key ingredient is luxardo , maraschino liqueur . it adds a very subtle boozy , cherry finish . it\u2019s worth picking up because it appears in so many other classic cocktails . if you don\u2019t believe me , you can read a whole host of cocktails here .\none of these german - born bartenders was hugo ensslin , who authored recipes for mixed drinks in 1917 , the last major cocktail book published before prohibition in

experimentation with 7 botanicals , ryan and christian finally landed on a democratic blend with juniper in the background . like all successful partnerships , none is overpowering or masking , but each plays a part in bringing out the best in all . aviation , a gin created to be so balanced and smooth , it can complement any cocktail or even fly solo .\nthe 1935 edition of the waldorf - astoria bar book says ,\namericans , as a rule , drink partly for the taste , mostly for the effect .\nlast week i was in berlin for a bar show and attended a seminar on the german influence on american

the cold water , and the distillate forms .\npersonally , i was not impressed with either the rothman & winter or the \u201coriginal\u201d aviation and after buying two more different bottlings of cr\u00e8me de violette i can\u2019t even remember what it tasted like . but i should dust off some bottles and investigate again \u2013 and try your recipe !\nit looks like we don ' t have a synopsis

is a way of saying that the ingredients of the aviation cocktail \u2014 plot threads , period details , character types \u2014 are all present , but could use some more mixing . the latter is a particular snag : we have three potentially strong characters in the fisher brothers and bob halloran , but the actors don\u2019t seem to have been introduced to them properly ; they play the surface details of tough cop , good guy , etc . without doing much beyond what we might expect from their first appearances . connor boyle as dale riley is a clear exception : given the news that his sister was killed by the opening - sequence murderer , he comes to regard the world with a sour look reminiscent of michael shannon \u2014 not quite angry because there\u2019s no object for fury , but a touch more revengeful than simple moodiness . that\u2019s multi - layered , interesting acting .\njoanne young covers state government , including the legislature and state agencies , and the people

favorite cocktails we drink today have stood the rigorous test of time .\neven bigger failed substitutions department : a bartender with no cr\u00e8me de violette served me an aviation that

proof . it then goes into a bottling tank with a 6 - sprout gravity filler and pumped into bottles . labels , caps , and cap strips are all applied by hand . a craft production from beginning to end , aviation is then ready to pack and ship .\nis another altogether . the editing of the production is very well done but the content takes itself way too seriously . i completely understand that the intention wasn ' t to pen a comedy , but at least a feeling of fun or freedom at times would have fit the bill rather nicely . not the case here though . there is absolutely none of that . from the opening scene to the very end we have a slow burning dramatic entity with no\niowa economic development director tom wheeler and five others in the department lost their jobs in the scandal , which

investigation by the state auditor and attorney general .\nthis film starts off with the exciting hostage scene and then turns slow and melancholy as higgins dissects what his \u201cheroes\u201d are really like . along the way , the film finds a way to really get under your skin . it\u2019s got a great noirish flavor , even though it\u2019s set in the wide open spaces of nebraska . there are some great scenes of the characters standing in the emptiness of the countryside , with this vastness echoing the enormity of their own personal hell . the death of geoff hadley acts as a catalyst and starts henry and bob on the path to self destruction .\njack arrives on scene to find a posse led by his old friend bob halloran . upon learning that the girl is dead , a shootout takes place injuring the killer who is airlifted back to town . in the airplane the men decide to enact vigilante justice . they kill the murderer . this decision propels the men into a guilt fed downward spiral .\nthe question i pondered as i wrote this article was the likelihood that a home bar in the first decades of the 20th century would include maraschino , or just the more commonly requested basic additives like vermouth , curacao or triple sec , bitters , perhaps grenadine . it\u2019s pure speculation\u2014i have no idea where one would even start looking for stats on the subject\u2014but speculation based on the marginalization of both maraschino and violette , and finally the complete disappearance altogether of the violette . at least maraschino had enough going for it that it stayed on the shelves ; poor violette , with even fewer recipes to prop it up , the marketplace just didn\u2019t support it .\ndec . 31 is the last day of the gregorian calendar . it precedes jan . 1 , the first

punches - pulled films about steve jobs , eliot spitzer and the architects of the enron fiasco . it was likely another of gibney\u2019s films , \u201cwe steal secrets : the story of wikileaks\u201d \u2014 in which the helmer found inventive visual solutions to present a relatively technical subject \u2014 that inspired producer marc shmuger to approach gibney with the idea of investigating stuxnet .\ninstead of treating that message like a superpower to acquire , the film delivers it as a subtle worldview . hidden under arrival \u2019s more palatable themes about overcoming cultural differences and uniting as one species is chiang\u2019s more direct message about learning how to appreciate life\u2019s moments , to live outside the bounds of time .\nsome films don ' t need music , and that ' s part of their aesthetic . but just imagine the\nblue danube waltz\ndocking sequence from 2001 without sound and you ' ll see what i mean . music can take a film and make it more than the sum of its parts .\ndafoe will play a musicologist grieving over the demise of his father who settles in the town of real de catorce , san luis potosi . while there , he tries to reconstruct an early 20th century symphony by a norwegian composer , and gets drawn into investigating the disappearance of a woman from the village . dafoe leads a cast that includes mexican thesps irene azuela , cassandra ciangherotti and brontis jodorowsky . graham wrote \u201copus zero . \u201d chavezmontes produces ; ingmar trost , j\u00f6rg schulze , and andreas zielke co - produce .\nthe film\u2019s second great subject is the secrecy that surrounds the first and prevents citizens and their governments from discussing it , much less doing anything about it . gibney doesn\u2019t explore how much this is a result of post - 9 / 11 paranoia and security measures , and how much simply a product of a decades - long growth in government secrecy , which climaxed with the obama administration\u2019s unprecedented war on whistle - blowers . but the film shows that even some of the nation\u2019s highest - ranking secret keepers now think the policies have been taken too far , and indeed increase rather than reduce the dangers posed by cyber warfare .\ni can ' t believe that people are suggesting that filmmakers should write their own score with garageband find a school of music that has a post grad . composition for screen course and contact them . the student composers i teach at the rcm in london are more than happy to score a half decent film .\nhi justin , soundation is a web based app that is also easy to put together a basic soundtrack with . also not sure if you are familiar with creative commons sites like incompetech ? that was the site that inspired me to make my own library of music available for film . best , dan - o\nthe most prominent among those who now insist torture played no part in the bin laden hunt are senators dianne feinstein , carl levin , and john mccain . all three serve on congressional committees with access to classified material and are in a position to know what they are talking about . indeed , in a letter protesting zero dark thirty to sony chairman michael lynton last month , they claim to have reviewed\nsix million pages\nof intelligence records , which may help explain why congress has such a hard time getting anything done .\nas significant as these ground - breaking attacks and counter - attacks were , they only indicated a tiny portion of what was possible even then . as \u201czero days\u201d reveals , the u . s . has a program called nitro zeus that makes olympic games look like a sandbox game . aimed to \u201cdisrupt , degrade and destroy\u201d iran\u2019s infrastructure , the program would mean \u201ca full scale cyber war , \u201d in the words of one expert , a war in which the u . s . would be subject to the same sort of attacks .\ngansa said the zero dark thirty controversy illustrates the dangers of working with agency consultants who may have their own agendas . \u201ci was so upset about that movie , \u201d gansa said . \u201cclearly mark and kathryn did research but they listened to a consultant who felt that torture clearly worked and led to the capture of osama bin laden . many people would dispute that , so to represent that as the truth and put that out there to millions of people ? you don\u2019t take one person\u2019s word as gospel and present it as factual . \u201d\na foia request about the film filed by judicial watch , a conservative watchdog group , turned up a series of emails between the filmmakers and langley that further demonstrated how eager the cia was to support the project . on june 7 , 2011 , cia spokesperson marie e . harf argued that both the agency and pentagon should back the boal / bigelow film over competing projects . \u201ci know we don\u2019t pick favorites but it makes sense to get behind a winning horse , \u201d she wrote . \u201cmark and kathryn\u2019s movie is going to be the first and the biggest . it\u2019s got the most money behind it , and two oscar winners on board . \u201d\na screenplay is more like a sonnet than a novel . action on screen unfolds with visceral immediacy , but any story with sweep\u2014this one takes place over nearly a decade\u2014can only be told with broad impressionistic strokes . the challenge is greater when trying to tell a true story . the interrogation scenes in the beginning color the entire tale , but they are necessary . they are part of the story . without them , i suspect some of the same critics now accusing it of being pro - torture would instead be calling zero dark thirty a whitewash .\nin a way , gibney has given us a \u201c dr . strangelove \u201d for the generation of warfare beyond the nuclear era . my suggestion is that , after the upcoming political conventions are finished , the film be shown on national tv and the candidates devote their first debate to its implications . that would be a start .\nwriter - director ted braun \u2019s critically acclaimed first feature film , darfur now , was nominated for best documentary of 2007 by the national board of review and the broadcast critics association , and went on to win the naacp image award for best documentary of the year . warner brothers distributed darfur now worldwide and financed along with participant media , which spearheaded a global social action campaign . for his work writing and directing the film , the international documentary association awarded braun their 2007 emerging filmmaker of the year . braun is an associate professor in screenwriting at usc\u2019s school of cinematic arts where he has just been appointed the joseph campbell endowed chair in cinematic ethics .\nthey have a lot in common with the martian , starring damon as a man who becomes his best self when he\u2019s left alone in the cosmos . the bizarro - world inversion of dr . mann . i\u2019m hesitant to even mention the martian in an essay about science fiction ; the film is famously accurate about everything besides the dust storm at the beginning . actually , the most fantastical part of the martian is the stuff back on earth , where nasa has bottomless funding and china shares technology with any government that needs it . ( apparently , the martian is set a couple decades in the future , making the film\u2019s disco obsession even less convincing . )\none doesn\u2019t need a mushroom cloud \u2014 though gibney offers a few \u2014 to imagine the potential havoc malware can unleash , though it\u2019s not stuxnet the world has to fear . that worm had a built - in cut - off date , but if gibney and sanger\u2019s sources are to be believed , operation nitro zeus represents a far greater threat , one that could be just as easily redirected against us . the film illustrates how iran already struck saudi aramco and several u . s . banks , and then there\u2019s the question ( reported in the news , but not so explicitly raised here ) of how u . s . ally israel might use the technology . while most people weren\u2019t looking , america went and changed the rules of engagement , and with \u201czero days , \u201d gibney urgently suggests how little time the world has to clarify its stand before the wrong party goes too far ."]}

flight , while maintaining interactive performance . there are four properties on\nafter creating the set , i needed to create the bins . however , looking forward , i also will need to be able to use these bins in a calculation , so i had to not use tableau ' s built - in binning capability . to manually create the bins , i used the following formula : int ( [ sales - dimension ] / [ bin size ] ) * [ bin size ] . in this case , bin size is another parameter , again , created to provide flexibility with the final view . the calculation works by using the int function to truncate the decimal point off of the returned value ( int ( 4 . 1 ) = 4 ; int ( 4 . 6 ) = 4 ) . then , multiplying by the bin size again will create the relative bins by returning values that will all match due to the truncation . i called this field bins .\n. . . i also found this the other day , which really extends the histogram scatter plot idea . . . i think this is amazing !\nit is an acceptable practice to base the control limits upon a multiple of the standard deviation . usually this multiple is 3 and thus the limits are called 3 - sigma limits . this term is used whether the standard deviation is the universe or population parameter , or some estimate thereof , or simply a\nstandard value\nfor control chart purposes . it should be inferred from the context what standard deviation is involved . ( note that in the u . k . , statisticians generally prefer to adhere to probability limits . )\nonce you have your bins created and the set made , the last step is to create a calculated field that will act as your bins , showing both the individual bins below your group , as well as the group itself . i built this in a field called custom histogram that looks like so :\ndouble tap an existing vertex to select it , the tool will draw the next point , to add it tap in a new location . to finish editing and add a point double tap otherwise press the esc key to cancel .\nhold shift then click and drag anywhere on the plot or double tap once to start drawing , move the mouse and double tap again to finish drawing .\nthe crystal cavern was our centerpiece until 2012 , and we still miss the 18 foot long crystals . all of those who participated in the lectures by day , theme dinners by evening , and the spectacular musical nights will never forget . in 2013 , after eight years of awesome adventures and contributions to the participants of burning man , we chose to take a break from the crazy life of theme camps and vanish into the dust -

and what will the audience expect from a film in this genre ? this is not about crushing experimentation or creativity but more as a reminder to self as you proceed , that your original goal was to write a short screenplay that scared / moved / amused / shocked the audience . when you get stuck , you can go back to this intention to remind yourself of your original goal .\njulian adds that he would not consider making another series of the itv drama , even if the plans for its film fall through , as he admits it will be difficult to juggle the schedules of the show\u2019s hollywood bound actors .\nthe cast and creative team of netflix\u2019s \u201cdear white people\u201d turned out thursday evening for the series\u2019 premiere at the downtown independent in los angeles . creator / executive producer justin simien , director barry jenkins , and star logan browning were just a fraction of the stars who graced the red carpet . set within the posh , white - washed winchester university , \u201cdear white [ \u2026 ]\nromero passed away in his sleep at his toronto home on sunday , listening to his favorite film score from 1952 ' s the quiet man , surrounded by his wife suzanne and daughter tina , his family confirmed to the los angeles times .\nthe new film ' s producers may have reason to fear anger among buffy fans . the power of the community was demonstrated after whedon ' s 2002 sci - fi series firefly was dropped after only 11 episodes by its parent network , fox .\nwell , thanks to entertainment weekly we have our answer . ew recently brought together co - creator susie lewis and character designer karen disher to imagine what life is like for daria and her lawndale friends two decades on , and let\u2019s just say that the 2017 iteration of the cast does not disappoint . many have moved on from their suburban beginnings to evolve into \u2026 well , adult versions of their teenage selves .\nthe series , which airs every thursday , will follow the rapper learning how to do new things . in this debut episode , below , he creates a 58 - second film . you can fast - forward to the 20 : 25 mark to watch it .\nhe suggests the film could follow the characters\u2019 stories 30 years prior to where the series started , as a prequel - which allows for a different cast , depicting cook mrs patmore - currently played by lesley nicol - starting out in the kitchen of the abbey .\nhere , we ultimately find tyler delving into the world of stop - motion video . the inaugural 22 - minute episode then sees the 26 - year - old creative gaining insight from the director of legendary stop - motion and live - action animation film , james and the giant peach .\nwarner bros had approached rowling about using the book for a film , from which she pitched\nan idea that [ she ] couldn ' t dislodge\n.

[ 11 ]\ntom hardy as rick flag : \u201ci think that ' s a very interesting choice . again , tom hardy is a very versatile actor . what i am really impressed by with all of the casting is that they are getting some very good actors to play these parts . that means warner bros . is very serious about this movie . they are serious about the concept \u2026 i think hardy is an excellent actor . jared leto as the joker ? oh , my . this is his first film since winning an academy award ! that ' s pretty high profile for a film called\nsuicide squad .\nthey are taking this very seriously . [ laughs ] \u201d\nthe following is a list of the relevant characters who appeared in the film , most of whom ( as of now , the only known exceptions are newt scamander and porpentina goldstein , who are mentioned on the fantastic beasts and where to find them book ) are completely original to this work and never mentioned anywhere else in canon before .\nmoving on to the story , it sounds like the studio is going with some major concepts used in ostrander\u2019s comic run , putting a dirty dozen spin on the story of villains forced to do good in hopes of earning their freedom . it\u2019s the same concept we\u2019ve previously seen on arrow , and ostrander think it\u2019s the perfect setup for a tentpole film :\na london critic once described a stage performance by peter o ' toole as his\ndouglas bader imitation ,\na reference to the battle of britain hero who walked on two artificial legs . o ' toole gives another bader performance in\ncreator ,\nlurching perilously through a chemistry laboratory and bludgeoning everyone around him with his lethal charm . it is the same sort of performance he gave in\nmy favorite year\nand\nthe stunt man\n- indeed , it is the basic performance he seems to be giving this decade - and , as usual , it works .\n\u201ci hope there will be a film . it will be sad if we don\u2019t do one . most films are a punt and we have a solid audience waiting for it . the difficulty is rounding up the actors who have now gone off to the four corners of the earth , in hollywood , on broadway , doing plays , doing series and so on . \u201d\nthe series has added many new faces to the \u201cdear white people\u201d roster , but to those involved with the original film , getting a chance to revisit winchester university and tell more stories is a \u201cdream come true , \u201d especially for simien . he noted : \u201ci don\u2019t know that i expect my dreams to come true , but it\u2019s a trip when they do . \u201d\nafter visiting with animation experts ( including the team behind adult swim ' s robot chicken series ) , tyler creates a short stop motion film of his own . and he brought along his buddy jasper to help voice one of the characters . the short clip , which took four weeks to make , can be seen at the end of the episode ( at the 20 : 26 mark ) .\nset within the posh , white -

century activism was just beginning to reach a viral peak \u2014 and we needed to talk about that . \u201d\nyou may also like to clarify for yourself what tone and style you have in mind , as this will influence the way you write your action and your dialogue . in the end the tone will be dictated by the director and the performances he / she elicits from actors , but the screenplay still establishes the foundations of the film\u2019s ultimate tone by choices made by the writer in their characters , plot , direction ( or big print ) , symbolism and dialogue .\nmike goodridge , the editor of the trade paper screen international , feels it is too soon to write the film off .\ncharles roven is pretty cool . he ' s the man that made the batman movies with chris nolan , so he knows what he ' s doing \u2013 and lots of people were against that at the time . remember , buffy was nothing as a movie , and the audiences are very different from tv \u2013 warner know that people have an appetite for revamps . i think it ' s a great idea .\nthis is a movie which manages to capture the feeling of love . it is a movie that shows decent and loving people being extremely human with each other . there is a kindness that permeates throughout the movie which makes it a pleasure to watch . the movie creates a warm feeling inside like very few other movies can . cousine , cousine ( french version ) is another movie that also reaffirms the joy of being human , even though the characters and story may not be totally believable . the main characters in the creator are people you want to be friends with . the movie uses humor and some great and thoughtful lines to remind the viewer that life really is about love . even the music by giovanni adds to the feeling of warmth that is constant in this movie . as other people have said i can tell you from experience that this is the type of movie you show a potential mate and see how they react . one of my very favorite movies .\n\u201cit sounds like they are going with my original concept , which is that these are bad guys , and in order to earn their freedom , they have to go on missions , in which they could be killed . i ' ve even read that they are talking about that as the film , as well . which i think is a good one . my original pitch to dc was the secret society of super - villains meets \u2018the dirty dozen . \u2019 this sounds like they are fully behind the whole \u2018dirty dozen\u2019 concept . these are people that will get pardoned if they survive a very risky mission . \u201d\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\ndaily box office ( sun . ) | weekend box office ( jul . 6\u20138 ) | # 1 movie : ' ant -

[ 4 ]\naurora very easily forgives maleficent for cursing her to die on her 16th birthday after maleficent has a heel face turn and undoes the curse .\nperspective flip : the premise of the movie is that it ' s sleeping beauty retold and expanded upon , though it eventually establishes itself as being its own continuity in the second half of the film . it ' s maleficent ' s perspective , as told by aurora . the other versions are outright dismissed as propaganda by the opening and closing narration .\nthe rances , who own run and shoot filmworks in new york city , are the organizers of the film festival which begins today and runs through saturday . films will be shown in oak bluffs and vineyard haven .\n\u201cwe at iifa take pride in announcing the nominees for iifa awards 2012 which celebrate the best work done by the indian film industry over the last year , \u201d sabbas joseph , director , wizcraft international entertainment said . \u201cwe are thoroughly pleased with the nominees a result of the film industry\u2019s secret ballot ; and we hope the audience will make a worthy choice in deciding the winners of this year\u2019s iifa accolades , \u201d he added .\neven when she decides to revoke it , it overpowers her good magic , and pulls out all the stops to ensure aurora ' s doom .\nhe ' s right \u2014 his kiss doesn ' t wake aurora up . oh , well . can ' t fault the guy for trying .\nto be intentional . it should also be noted that some interpreted this same scene as an allegory for jolie ' s preventative double mastectomy , but the film ' s cast was confirmed well before her surgery took place . see"]}

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

thriller \u201c kills on wheels \u201d follows 20 - year - old wheelchair user zoli ( fenyvesi zolt\u00e1n ) and his physically disabled friend barba papa ( fekete \u00e1d\u00e1m ) as they team up with wheelchair - bound hit man rupaszov ( thur\u00f3czy szabolcs ) to offer their assassin services to the mafia . soon , they enter a surreal world of gangsters and guns , all the while coming to terms with their respective disabilities and how best to cope with them . watch the trailer for the film above .\nshooting a hole straight through the gut of the traditional narrative of empowerment , atilla till \u2019s \u201c kills on wheels \u201d effectively does for hyper - violent gangster thrillers what \u201cmurderball\u201d did for inspirational sports documentaries . it starts with a brilliantly cockeyed premise : if the world doesn\u2019t believe that disabled people are capable of living among us , then the police might never imagine that disabled people are capable of killing among us , either . from that idea , till spins a sloppy but uproariously clever urban fable , one that doesn\u2019t sanctify or belittle the handicapped , but rather shines new light on that invisible population by inviting them to play the most visible of movie archetypes : assassins .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\nit\u2019s unlikely that either of these amateur performers ever imagined starring in a mainstream movie ( mainstream for the hungarian box office , anyway ) , let alone one involving suspenseful action sequences that have no special regard for their condition . till\u2019s script never treats the performers with kid gloves , nor does the camera ever condescend to them \u2014 unlike \u201cthe tribe , \u201d which repurposed the insularity of ukraine\u2019s deaf community as the silent lining of a dark underworld , \u201ckills on wheels\u201d even allows for a few laughs , and till insists that his jokes only further empower his characters .\nif anything , till is so committed to delivering an ordinary story of criminals and lowlifes that his unique characters fade into archetypes , and the impact of their separate arcs is muted and muddled as the strangely familiar plot shifts into neutral . it\u2019s as though till is so worried about the film being defined by its \u201cgimmick\u201d that he overcompensates by steering it towards clich\u00e9 . still , by taking things to such a giddy extreme , \u201ckills on wheels\u201d manages to punctuate its point with a bullet : if the able - bodied world refuses to see the handicapped as people , what right do we have to brand them as criminals ?\nzoli ( zolt\u00e1n fenyvesi ) and barba ( ad\u00e1m fekete ) are roommates at a care facility . the former relies on a wheelchair because of spinal problems , while the latter has a mild case of cerebral palsy and the peculiar habit of spraying deodorant on the outside of his clothes when he becomes excited and nervous . when they work together on a high - concept graphic novel about a paraplegic former fireman , life and art start to blur in intriguing ways as they interact with their protagonist .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\n\u201ckills on wheels\u201d is directed by attila till , who was inspired to make the film after volunteering with the disabled , saying that it was crucial for him \u201cto make a movie about disabled people where they finally aren\u2019t played by actors but get the opportunity to act themselves and be the real heroes . \u201d he previously directed the feature film \u201cpanic , \u201d about an ensemble cast of characters who all suffer from panic attacks . he also shot a short film \u201cbeast , \u201d about modern - day slavery , that premiered during the 2011 cannes\u2019 directors\u2019 fornight and toured over 100 festivals . the film is produced by krisztina pint\u00e9r , g\u00e1bor rajna , g\u00e1bor sipos , judit stalter , all of whom produced l\u00e1szl\u00f3 nemes \u201c son of saul , \u201d which won the oscar for best foreign language film last year .\nthe world isn ' t overburdened with hungarian wheelchair comedy - thrillers but on the strength of this darkly delightful effort from attila till . . . it could do with a few more .\nat the reunion , he told former castmates that he had been working as a forklift operator , a furniture salesman and a customer service representative for a pizza chain . in the reunion episode , wheels has recently been released from prison and appears as a drifter looking in at the festivities through a window .\nin some ways it did , though the fictional world he entered as derek wheeler , beginning with \u201cdegrassi junior high\u201d in 1987 , was a harrowing one . all its characters portrayed teenagers confronting crises over issues like sexual abuse , racism , unwanted pregnancy and aids , but the troubles dealt wheels made him the job of the cast .\nas the hits that rados requests become increasingly difficult , rupaszov relies more and more on the ingenuity and level - headedness of zoli and barba ; barba\u2019s driving skill as a getaway man also plays a crucial role . meanwhile , the hitman and comic - book storylines eventually neatly merge with a subplot centering on zoli\u2019s need for a life - saving operation \u2014 one his single mother ( m\u00f3nika balsai ) hopes will be paid for by the father that abandoned the family when zoli was just an infant .\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 .\nmr . hope , who was born in toronto on sept . 24 , 1972 , was an actor who essentially played one part . like most of the \u201cdegrassi\u201d cast members , he was recruited from toronto schools . he was 10 when he was cast in a guest role on a precursor show , \u201cthe kids of degrassi street . \u201d the job was a godsend , he told interviewers . watching television had been his fantasy escape , he said , and acting in it would make the escape literal .\nin till ' s second feature , the plot is structured around a bizarre story of two young disabled hungarians who strike up an unlikely friendship with a cantankerous killer who is paralyzed from the waist down before embarking on a series of hits for a balkans crime boss .\n\u201cit\u2019s hard to describe the emotion this has generated , \u201d said sam tweedle , a canadian television critic who wrote about mr . hope\u2019s death on his blog , confessions of a pop culture addict , and who spoke in an interview . \u201che was a good guy , who had all the worst possible things happen to him and made some bad decisions . \u201d\nby the end of the show , mr . hope himself had a drinking problem , and though he had wanted to attend film school , he all but dropped out of sight , only to emerge years later to make a guest appearance in a 10th - anniversary \u201cdegrassi\u201d reunion special . ( a new version of the show began in 2001 and appears on teennick , an offshoot of nickelodeon . )\nwhen the series ended in 1991 , he spoke openly about the wages of alcoholism in a kind of public - service documentary , revealing that he was the child of alcoholics who had virtually abandoned him and had fed their drinking on his tv earnings . he said he wanted to convey a message to other teenagers whose parents were substance abusers : \u201cit\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of . because it\u2019s not your fault . \u201d\nthe inventive cinematography by imre juh\u00e1sz ( who also works as a camera operator and second unit on big - budget hollywood titles ) is frequently framed to match the perspective of someone in a wheelchair . editor m\u00e1rton goth\u00e1r does a fine job of blending the various storylines , as well as the segues from hand - drawn art and animation to live action . the score by csaba kalot\u00e1s and choice soundtrack add to the dynamism .\njanos rupaszov ( able - bodied hungarian star szabolcs thur\u00f3czy , recently seen in last year\u2019s \u201cwhite god\u201d ) is a salty middle - aged badass unlike any the cinema has known before . on one hand , he\u2019s a classic archetype : the beefy , aging gangster who\u2019s fresh out of jail and already eager to get back into trouble . on the other hand , the authorities consider the wheelchair - bound rupaszov to be more of a nuisance than he is a legitimate harm to society . he\u2019s a joke , a pet of the prison system whose insistence that he\u2019ll walk again ( \u201ci\u2019ll get robot legs , a robot dick , whatever\u201d ) makes him even more of a laughingstock . if only the cops knew what he was capable of getting away with \u2014 if only they knew what rados ( dusan vitanovics ) , a broadly evil yugoslavian crime boss , was paying rupaszov to do .\nthere is no map through the territory mr . hope navigated from that moment of heartfelt communication to the final moment of his life , when he had become so isolated that it would take four years before his own family learned that he had died . he was found dead on nov . 25 , 2007 , in a room in a hamilton , ontario , boarding house . neither the police , who concluded that no foul play had been involved , nor the coroner\u2019s officials who removed the body recognized the name or the face of the deceased . he was 35 .\ntheir creation is badass ex - firefighter rupaszov ( szabolcs thur\u00f3czy , whose hangdog charisma also made an impression in \u201cthe wednesday child\u201d and \u201cwhite god\u201d ) , who sustained an injury on the job that has left him paralyzed below the waist . after a stint in prison , rupaszov finds new employment as a hitman for sinister serbian crime lord rados ( dusan vitanovic ) while trying to win back his ex - girlfriend ( lidia danis ) , a nurse who is about to marry another man . flush with cash from his new profession , he provides the lads with an , er , sentimental education as well as life lessons . he also offers them an opportunity to demonstrate their resourcefulness as his accomplices .\ntwenty - year - old wheelchair user zoli , his physically disabled friend , and an ex - fireman , who is also confined to a wheelchair , decide to offer their services to the mafia as a gang of hired assassins . but , as is the way with life , the reality is a little more prosaic\u2026 in his highly original , action - packed comedy , hungarian director attila till skilfully blends reality with fantasy as he offers a gentle probe into the lives of protagonists living on the edge of society and desirous of things which able - bodied people take for granted . with its in - your - face black humour , the film is a competent match for the 2006 audience smash the art of negative thinking and is set to be a sure - fire hit with viewers as well . the director was inspired to make his film from his own experiences as a volunteer for the disabled . he explains his motivation : \u201cit was crucial to me to make a movie about disabled people where they finally aren\u2019t played by actors but get the opportunity to act themselves and be the real heroes . \u201d\nfollowing gabriele mainetti ' s they call me jeeg robot ( 2015 ) in blurring the line between comic - book bravura and real life , attila till ' s second feature is not only notable for its attitude to disability , but also for its casting of differently able actors . wheelchair - user zoltan fenyvesi and cerebral palsy sufferer adam fekete play zolika and barba , care - home roommates who devote their time to producing a graphic novel . the twentysomethings get fresh inspiration after becoming the accomplices of a new resident ( szabolcs thuroczy ) who is paralysed from the waist down but hoping to win back his girlfriend with the money he makes as an assassin for a serbian crime lord ( dusan vitanovic ) . the hits are ingeniously staged , shot and edited , and challenge preconceptions about various debilitating conditions . but till tempers the edgy wit with a whiff of sentimentality in a sub - plot about zolika ' s mother fretting about raising the money for a life - saving operation her son requires on his spine . thuroczy makes a convincing paraplegic , but first - timer fenyvesi and relative newcomer fekete deserve to become the poster boys of cine -

fetched as the concept might seem , till just about makes it work by stressing the intense physicality of the performances , especially that of veteran character actor thur\u00f3czy who displays the upper body strength of a circus acrobat . fenyvesi , meanwhile , has an especially soulful face and one can\u2019t help but hope that film -

bring the family together and is usually for families that live far enough apart that seeing eachother is a rare occurence . my family never had a family reunion because we all saw each other so often it would have been redundant , we were never separated so we never needed to reunite . the people i know who have family reunions typically have people travelling from several states ( several hundred miles , i\u2019m on the east coast ) away and often that is the only time that year they will see either most of their family or in some cases their entire family .\na nice family gathering is a story

bedminster , nj \u2014 with the notable exception of his embattled eldest son .\nsilence - the stuff of assumptions and confusion - is a legacy inherited by many grandchildren of japanese americans interned during wwii . shortly after japan attacked pearl harbor , masuo yasui , a respected figure of hood river valley , oregon was arrested by the fbi as a\npotentially dangerous enemy alien .\nin a family gathering , lise yasui , a granddaughter that masuo never knew , shows that courageous journeys into the past can bring greater understanding of family and personal history to the present

it means flying there .\ni testify that god the father wants his children home again , in families and in glory . the savior lives . he directs and blesses this work , and he watches over and guides us . he thanks you for your faithful service in gathering his father\u2019s family , and i promise you the inspired help that you seek and need . in the name of jesus christ , amen .\nin practice , maybe not , but in intent , probably so . both involve the family getting together , sometimes just for a meal , sometimes for an occasion , such as a birthday . a reunion is the same , only the main purpose of it is to get the entire family together to celebrate being a family . sometimes people from far away will come , while they might not come for someone\u2019s birthday . a family reunion is a big deal mostly because of that ; that people will come from everywhere for the occasion , and you get to see relatives you haven\u2019t seen for years , or perhaps never .\na family reunion is more of a gathering of the diaspora . this is when you make a point of inviting every collateral relative no matter how distant the connection , or how far away they live , for a chance to reconnect with people they haven\u2019t seen in years , and meet the new additions . this is when the second and third cousins get invited , as well as the first cousins . we\u2019re talking about the fifth and sixth generations of descendants . weddings and funerals are a kind of family reunion , but some families like to organize them for their own sake .\nwe do not know what marvels god will inspire

admirably ; now their parents need to catch up . there are now many people who have accepted baptism in the spirit world because of the work done by the youth , and they are waiting for other

the game room , with full - size pool table , is off to the right . you pass through the roomy dining hall with 4 tables into the living area where another dining table , spacious kitchen , and living room are located . the huge wood burning stone fireplace is the centerpiece of this space made for entertainment .\nto describe this gathering , it may be best to begin before we were born , before what the bible calls \u201cthe beginning\u201d ( genesis 1 : 1 ) . at that time , we lived with heavenly father as his spirit children . this is true of every person who has ever lived on earth .\nfrom that day to this , interest in exploring one\u2019s family history has grown exponentially . at ever - increasing rates , people seem drawn to their ancestry with more than just casual curiosity . genealogical libraries , associations , and technologies have emerged around the world to support this interest . the internet\u2019s power to enhance communications has enabled families to work together to do family history research with a speed and thoroughness never before possible .\ngeneral conference has always been a time of gathering for the latter - day saints . we have long since outgrown the ability to gather physically in one place , but the lord has provided ways for the blessings of general conference to reach out to you no matter where you are . while it is impressive to see the gathering of saints in this large conference center , we who stand at this pulpit always have in our mind\u2019s eye the millions of people who are gathered with us around the world to watch and listen to the conference . many of you are gathered with your families ; some may be gathered with friends or fellow church members .\na family reunion is much more inclusive of a wider range of relatives , say , all descendants of a specific couple , usually 3 or more generations back . there can be hundreds of people at such a reunion .\nfor example , as you follow the promptings to learn about your family history , you may discover that a distant relative shares some of your facial features or your interest in books or your talent for singing . this could be very interesting and even insightful . but if your work stops there , you will sense that something is missing . this is because to gather and unite god\u2019s family requires more than just warm feelings . it requires sacred covenants made in connection with priesthood ordinances .\nthere are 7 bedrooms with their own televisions and comfortable accommodations , providing enough space to sleep a small

just than that . our heavenly father is anxious to gather and bless all of his family . while he knows that not all of them will choose to be gathered , his plan gives each of his children the opportunity to accept or reject his invitation . and families are at the heart of this plan .\nin addition , many youth have discovered that giving of their time to do family history research and temple work has deepened their testimony of the plan of salvation . it has increased the influence of the spirit in their lives and decreased the influence of the adversary . it has helped them feel closer to their families and closer to the lord jesus christ . they have learned that this work saves not just the dead ; it saves all of us ( see d & c 128 : 18 ) .\njust a few weeks ago , i was working on my family history with a consultant by my side and another helper on the phone . on the computer screen before me was a problem beyond my mortal power to solve . i saw two names , sent to me by the wonders of technology , of people who might be waiting for a temple ordinance . but the trouble was that the names were different , but there was a reason to believe they might be the same person . my task was to determine what was true .\nyou see , the names \u201cbrother\u201d and \u201csister\u201d are not just friendly greetings or terms of endearment for us . they are an expression of an eternal truth : god is the literal father of all mankind ; we are each part of his eternal family . because he loves us with the love of a perfect father , he wants us to progress and advance and become like him . he ordained a plan by which we would come to earth , in families , and have experiences that would prepare us to return to him and live as he lives .\nwell , he was partially right . computers would be an important part of the future of family history work\u2014just not the computers he was selling . an inspired leader of the church chose not to buy his computers . the church was to wait for technology that at that time had not yet even been imagined . but i have learned in the many years since that even the best technology can never be a substitute for revelation from heaven , like the kind that church leader received . this is a spiritual work , and the lord directs it through his holy spirit .\nof course , all of us have many pressing and important responsibilities that need our attention and time . all of us find parts of what the lord expects us to do beyond our abilities . fortunately , the lord provides a way for each of us to gain confidence and satisfaction in all our service , including family history service . we gain strength to do what he asks through our faith that the savior gives no commandment \u201csave he shall prepare a way for [ us ] that [ we ] may accomplish the thing which he commandeth\u201d ( 1 nephi 3 : 7 ) .\nleif hetland is founder and president of global mission awareness . he ministers globally

conflict immediately erupts , exacerbated by the usual\nbusiness is struggling\nsubplot . however , the antagonism here is taken to laughable levels after henstridge ' s character adopts an allegedly useless herding - dog to help with the sheep . you don ' t need to have been watching to guess what follows , as the appropriately named lucky proves the solution to the clan ' s problems - both financial and emotional - and even gets to show off some ridiculous , lassie - style heroism . the problem is that everything ' s all so convenient , with superficial sentimentality replacing genuine emotion .\nthis is the work of our generation , what the apostle paul called \u201cthe dispensation of the fulness of times , \u201d when he said god would \u201cgather together in one all things in christ , both which are in heaven , and which are on earth ; even in him\u201d ( ephesians 1 : 10 ) . this is made possible through the atoning work of god\u2019s beloved son , jesus christ . because of him , our family members , \u201cwho sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of christ . for he is our peace , who hath made both one , and hath broken down the middle wall of partition

wants his children home again , in families and in glory .\nmy dear brothers and sisters , i rejoice at the opportunity to be with you at the beginning of this session of general conference . i welcome you most warmly .\nwherever you are and however you are hearing my voice , please know that even though you are not with us in person , we feel that you are with us in spirit . we hope all of you will feel one with us\u2014that you will feel the spiritual power that comes whenever a body of believers gathers in the name of jesus christ .\nthe central element of this plan was the promise that jesus christ would offer himself as a sacrifice , to rescue us from sin and death . our task in that plan is to accept the savior\u2019s sacrifice by obeying the laws and ordinances of the gospel . you and i accepted this plan . in fact , we rejoiced in it , even though it would mean that we would leave the presence of our father and forget what we had experienced there with him .\nbut we were not sent here completely in the dark . each of us was given a portion of god\u2019s light , called the \u201clight of christ , \u201d to help us distinguish between good and evil , right and wrong . this is why even those who live with little or no knowledge of the father\u2019s plan can still sense , in their hearts , that certain actions are just and moral while others are not .\nour sense of right and wrong seems especially keen when we are raising our children . innate in almost every parent is the desire to teach his or her children moral virtues . this is part of the miracle of heavenly father\u2019s plan . he wants his children to come to earth , following the eternal pattern of families that exists in heaven . families are the basic organizational unit of the eternal realms , and so he intends for them also to be the basic unit on earth . though earthly families are far from perfect , they give god\u2019s children the best chance to be welcomed to the world with the only love on earth that comes close to what we felt in heaven\u2014parental love . families are also the best way to preserve and pass on moral virtues and true principles that are most likely to lead us back to god\u2019s presence .\nonly a very small minority of god\u2019s children obtain during this life a complete understanding of god\u2019s plan , along with access to the priesthood ordinances and covenants that make the savior\u2019s atoning power fully operative in our lives . even those with the best of parents may live faithfully according to the light they have but never hear about jesus christ and his atonement or be invited to be baptized in his name . this has been true for countless millions of our brothers and sisters throughout the world\u2019s history .\nsome may consider this unfair . they may even take it as evidence that there is no plan , no specific requirements for salvation\u2014feeling that a just , loving god would not create a plan that is available to such a small proportion of his children . others might conclude that god must have determined in advance which of his children he would save and made the gospel available to them , while those who never heard the gospel simply were not \u201cchosen . \u201d\ncenturies ago , the prophet malachi said that in a coming day , god would send elijah to \u201cturn the heart of the fathers to the children , and the heart of the children to their fathers\u201d ( malachi 4 : 6 ) .\nthis prophecy was so important the savior quoted it when he visited the americas after his resurrection ( see 3 nephi 25 : 5\u20136 ) . and when the angel moroni visited the prophet joseph smith , he too quoted the prophecy about elijah and hearts , fathers , and children ( see joseph smith\u2014history 1 : 36\u201339 ) .\ntoday is april 1 . two days from now , april 3 , marks 181 years from the day when malachi\u2019s prophecy was fulfilled . on that day , elijah did come , and he gave to joseph smith the priesthood power to seal families eternally ( see d & c 110 : 13\u201316 ) .\nwhy is all of this happening ? for lack of a better term , we call it the \u201cspirit of elijah . \u201d we could also equally call it \u201cfulfillment of prophecy . \u201d i bear testimony that elijah did come . the hearts of the children\u2014of you and me\u2014have turned to our fathers , our ancestors . the affection you feel for your ancestors is part of the fulfillment of that prophecy . it is deeply seated in your sense of who you are . but it has to do with more than just inherited dna .\nmany of your ancestors did not receive those ordinances . but in the providence of god , you did . and god knew that you would feel drawn to your ancestors in love and that you would have the technology necessary to identify them . he also knew that you would live in a time when access to holy temples , where the ordinances can be performed , would be greater than ever in history . and he knew that he could trust you to accomplish this work in behalf of your ancestors .\ni know this is true from experience . many years ago , as a university student , i met a man who worked for one of the largest computer companies in the world . this was in the early days of computing , and it just so happened that his company had sent him to sell computers to the church of jesus christ of latter - day saints .\nas far as i could tell , this salesman had no religious faith . yet he said with wonder and exasperation , \u201cin this church they were doing what they called \u2018genealogy , \u2019 searching for names of people who are dead , trying to identify their ancestors . people , mostly women , were running around between filing cabinets , searching through little cards for information . \u201d if i remember right , he said the ladies were wearing tennis shoes so they could run a little faster . the man went on , \u201cas i saw the magnitude of what they were trying to do , i realized that i had discovered the reason for the invention of computers . \u201d\ni asked my consultants to tell me . they said , \u201cno , you must choose . \u201d and they were completely sure i would discover the truth . the computer , with all its power and information , had left me the blessing of staring at those names on a screen , evaluating the available information , seeking other research , praying silently , and discovering what was true . as i prayed , i knew with surety what to do\u2014just as i have in other situations when i needed to rely on heaven\u2019s help to solve a problem .\nin recent years , the youth of the church have responded to the spirit of elijah in an inspiring way . many now hold their own limited - use temple recommend and use it often . temple baptistries are busier than ever ; some temples have even had to adjust their schedules to accommodate the increase in the number of young people attending the temple .\nit used to be a rare but welcome exception for youth to bring the names of their own ancestors to the temple . now this is the norm , and very often it is the young people themselves who found those ancestors .\ntrump watched the final round of

! and i have watched some of them , for sure , all of them are fantastic , and also , in my opinion , each one have their own style of the time , but they all have a pure love , witch can touch our heart most . sometimes , love isn ' t complex , but only little people can reach that state . if you love someone , you will love all of him / her . maybe it ' s a little irony that nowadays , people always yearn that pure love , however , our practical action is on the opposite : most of us are astricted by vanity , money , position and so on . although when we calm down and realized that we maybe are wrong , but we have to cause we are in a cruel world . those warm picture in the movie become a kind of drug that heal our broken soul .\nby the end of the nineteenth century , then , film could actualize the vividly metamorphic nightmare that comes to victor right after he animates the creature .\n, a film scripted by gene wilder , who also plays friedrich frankenstein , the eponymous hero . at the end of the film , madeline kahn ' s elizabeth not only survives but also falls in love with the monster when he abducts her . lulled by her own mood music ( she sings\nah !

i love an affair to remember and when harry met sally . i think you ' ve got mail would be a good addition to the list .\ncurrently in pre - production , the film will be son young - ho\u2019s feature debut . the deal is a story of two men driven by rage and vengeance after a serial killer takes away the woman they both love \u2013 the younger sister to one , a veteran cop , and the wife to the other , a previously ordinary guy .\nmoulin rouge is my all time favorite movie ! never gets old . i strongly disagree with twilight being on this list though . i dont believe that it comes close to classics like casa blanca and dirty dancing .\nin film theory , as in mary shelley ' s novel , the idea of artificial reproduction has sometimes excited alarm . in 1933 , arnheim wrote that films were already approaching the\ndangerous goal\nof manufacturing\nan image . . . which is astoundingly like some natural object\n( arnheim ,\nthe complete film ,\n[ selection from\nthe 1997 film is based on the true story of the sinking of the\nunsinkable\ntitanic in 1912 . a beautiful young upperclass woman , rose , falls in love with a lower - class man , jack , who clearly has more time to think about , sketch , and woo her than her self - absorbed fianc\u00e9 . after he rescues rose from a near suicide attempt , the two fall quickly and madly in love . when jack is framed for burglary , he is locked in the basement of the ship .\nwe ' re talking about the movie , not the more recent television series . 10 things i hate about you is a teen film set in seattle , washington , and starring the late heath ledger and julia stiles . loosely based on shakespeare ' s the taming of the shrew , romantics will love the tension between stiles as kat , ledger as patrick , the frustration of their personalities , and overbearing parents who just don ' t understand . the plot twists and turns as jilted love interests and double date arrangements complicate matters .\ngreat list !

formula has not really worked . barring a couple of exceptions , most of the shows that tried to renew their bond with the viewers after a break , a season break to be precise , failed miserably in terms of ratings .\nthe show used to air on colors channel a few years ago , and starred kunal karan kapoor and aakanksha singh in the lead . it wasn ' t much favoured by the audience to begin with , and why on earth did the makers went ahead with a second season will always be a mystery to us .\nlet us call a spade a spade ; hum paanch season 2 was a bummer . it lacked the charm of the first season , and its jokes were tired , and old .\ngul khan ' s romantic drama starring barun sobti and sanaya irani in the lead was quite loved by tv buffs , but one can ' t claim the same thing about the show ' s second season , iss pyaar ko kya naam doon - - - ek baar phir , starring shrenu parikh and avinash sachdev .\njd majethia ' s sarabhai vs sarabhai had a small , but strong group of

great episodes based on the vastly popular character in bengali literature of titular name , byomkesh bakshi is in many ways an indian take on sherlock holmes . compared to the older sherlock holmes tv series , i liked byomkesh bakshi a lot better .\ndespite the overacting and shoddy visual effects , it still remains the best made series about the epic saga of mahabharata . for its time and age , the show was very good , and as kids , we loved to watch the show and then follow it up with a q & a session with grandma about mahabharata . now that i think about it , she should be on quora . : )\nr . k . narayan had a knack of connecting with the common man with his simple tales that conveyed a message . swamii was loved by all of us , and those were the wonder years when our family could

soap operas , reality shows put me off tv big time . but here are some great shows , that i rarely missed without fail , on tv .\nthis was the show that actually got me interested in quizzing . i always had this fascination for trivia and learning new things , but it was quiztime that made me a quizzard . and one of my ambitions was to do a quiz show on tv . i loved the format , the questions , and above all siddartha basu ' s style , cool , polished , dignified . i started going to quizzes regularly after this , represented my college , university in quizzing too . there were many others after this - alpha plus , university challenge , bournvita quiz , but nothing ever appealed to me the way quiz time did . and yes one of the best moments in life , was meeting siddartha basu on the sets of mastermind , and actually being quizzed by him .\nthat wonderful opening tune by vaidyanathan , with that tana , na , na , naa humming , was more than enough for me to be present in front of the tv set . and week after week , the antics of swami and his friends in the town of malgudi , was so delightful . having come from a south indian small town myself , and spending the holidays at my grandma ' s place , i could easily identify with the serial and the characters . kudos to shankar nag , for so wonderfully adapting , r . k . narayan ' s work to the small screen .\none of my all time favorites , and one of the best comedy serials ever on tv . shafi inamdar and swarup sampat as the urban , middle class couple , ranjeet and renu , and rakesh bedi as her brother in law , were brilliant , the jokes were superb , and more often than not , this was a chuckle fest always . adding to it , farida jalal as the chachi , satish shah in myriad roles , and the bengali couple next door , made it one laugh fest all the time .\na satire that just about spared none , from govt clerks to telephone operators to traders , jaspal bhatti ' s show , ripped apart the indian political class and society , using humor . sad that jaspal bhatti is no more with us , but would surely love to see a re run of this show , with the present , political , economic and social scenario in mind .\nthere have been umpteen mythological tv serials on indian tv , but for me none really has had the impact that b . r . chopra ' s mahabharat had . critics may call it tacky , over the top , whatever , i don ' t care . the fact is every sunday , it would be a must for me , to park myself in front of tv , to watch the latest episode of mahabharat . it also helped that it was one of my favorite stories , and watching them come alive on tv was something . and yes the opening song by mahendra kapoor , preceeded by that\nkarmanye vaadikarastheshu\nhymn and the samay narration , all added to it ' s epic status .\nthis partition era drama of a family that is torn apart by the event , and their struggles at making a living in post partition india , was another favorite of mine . the characters of master haveli ram ( alok nath ) , lajoji ( anita kanwar ) , raliya ram ( girija shankar ) , their sons kulbhushan ( dalip tahil ) , roshan ( mazhar khan ) and satbir ( kanwaljeet ) , and how the partition caused a trauma in their lives , was always gripping and worth a watch .\nguru , the street smart , toughie , kaderbhai the tea stall owner , hari the bicycle shop guy , khopdi the drunkard , ghanshu the beggar , the delightful characters of the street corner , their lives , their joys , their sorrows , their loves , a superb mix of humor , satire and drama , though it got overtly preachy at times . of course having kundan shah and saeed mirza as directors helped . mirza later made intezaar set in a village railway station with same actors , but it was not as good as nukkad .\nlearn how your dna influences your facial features , taste , smell and other traits .\nthis is the first show that comes to mind when you talk of indian television . made of epic proportions ( see

children to be honest , caring , and loving . shaktimaan attained his powers through intense meditation and yoga . soon after the initial success of the show , reports began to surface that kids all over the country set themselves on fire or jumped from buildings in the hopes that shaktimaan would save them . this prompted mukesh khanna to spend time every episode to spread awareness to children

though definitely not a great film . both fairbanks and carroll do well here , though no one watching ever buys that linda isn\u2019t falling for logan . tullio carminati is a rather flat one trick pony as the baron but that\u2019s exactly how delmer daves wrote it .\nit\u2019s a safari of love ! burning sands . . . burning lips ! it\u2019s night - time on the glamorous nile !\nwe don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on safari . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .\nwhile hatari ! came after a slew of other safari films , among them , king solomon\u2019s mines ( 1950 , mgm ) , the african queen ( 1951 , united artists ) , the snows of kilimanjaro ( 1952 , fox ) , and john ford\u2019s mogambo ( 1953 , mgm ) , hawks\u2019 safari film is unlike any that came before . while early safari pictures utilized the spectacle of the african landscape to break from the film\u2019s narrative , hatari ! does the exact opposite by using the narrative to break up the spectacle , a result of that loosely scripted production . the spectacle was made possible both technologically , by the ability to film action scenes with mobile , car - mounted cameras , and stylistically , by filming on location in another continent , away from the influences of studio financiers .\na hedonist girl goes on safari with a count , hoping to impress him into marrying her , but ends up with the chief hunter instead .\nit ' s a safari of love ! burning sands . . . burning lips ! it ' s night - time on the glamorous nile !\njohn wayne said , \u201cthe most fun i ever had on any picture was on hatari ! \u201d after watching the film , a viewer will have no doubt in their mind that this is truly the case . hatari ! , howard hawks\u2019 1962 safari film , is an adventure ride like none other . the film features wayne and red buttons , leading a team of animal capturers for zoos around the world , when they find themselves making room for the arrival of a beautiful wildlife photographer , \u201cdalles , \u201d played by elsa martinelli .\nas the film\u2019s publicity told us , \u201chatari\u201d means \u201cdanger , \u201d and danger is definitely the selling point . when wayne\u2019s character wrangles a rhino in the film\u2019s final scenes and the rhino escapes , requiring recapture , that is actually the actors performing the entire scene , not stunt doubles , even when the rhino takes a swipe at wayne . when hawk\u2019s mounts an over - the - shoulder shot from inside one of the jeeps , over wayne\u2019s shoulder in a seat mounted on the front of the car , while he ropes a giraffe , again , that\u2019s actually john wayne . what is achieved in hawks\u2019 film may have technologically been impossible only half a decade earlier in the 50\u2019s safari films , since hatari ! required mobile camera equipment to achieve many of the most adventurous and mesmerizing shots in the film .\nwith douglas fairbanks jr . and madeleine carroll . it\u2019s again a good exercise to compare some of the marketing pitches against the actual film they are tied to .\nsafari is a pretty good if formulaic jungle film , but there is nothing torrid about it at all . if memory serves , there isn\u2019t a single kiss in the entire film until the final , making the \u2018burning lips\u2019 tag a bit irrelevant . we are set on a river on a game hunt for most of the picture , far away from the vast seas of sand implied above . and there\u2019s no need for a discussion on the glamorous life on the nile , as little could be further from the truth .\nthe film\u2019s narrative can be found lacking by even the most casual of critical viewers , due in large part to a loosely scripted production . originally developed under jack warner with gary cooper starring , the film\u2019s script had yet to be written when hawks announced cooper would be starring in his upcoming \u201cafrica\u201d feature . shortly thereafter the film fell apart when cooper , who had signed on to the project conditionally with script approval , opted to drop out . jack warner subsequently dropped out as well , which resulted in the production going to paramount and the inclusion of star , john wayne . the lack of a script , however , was intentional on hawks part . the open - ended nature of the story allowed for the film to be built around the heart - thumping animal capture scenes that occupy the film , but adrenaline inducing scenes and settings were no strangers to hawks\u2019 style .\nindeed , spectacle is key to the experience of watching hatari ! , filmed on location in taganyika ( modern tanzania ) to take full advantage of the african landscape , including live animals . while the typical safari movie that had dominated the early 50\u2019s was marked largely by actors filmed against rear - projection scenes , intercut with documentary footage to lend credibility to the african setting , hatari ! achieves an almost incomprehensible level of authenticity . hawks notably encouraged his actors to perform all the animal captures live , with wild , untrained animals . watching the film it is clear that the movie was made before the limitations of : \u201cno animals were harmed in the making of this film , \u201d as none of what was filmed would be possible under contemporary rules and regulations . in fact , a contemporary film in the vein of hatari ! would need to be nearly all cgi , which is what makes it so impressive in its own right .\n' bad films ' : one - and - a - half - star ( out of five ) film ratings by ' the motion picture guide ' ( jay robert nash and stanley ralph ross , cinebooks , inc . ; 1927 - 1983 )\nhatari ! is an adventure film unlike any other . at the time it was filmed it defied conventions and broke ground for action filming . however , none of that would have been possible without hawks , a man who could challenge the studios that produced his films , and brought his own personal desires into the stories he was creating . as an action / adventure film , as a technological marvel , and as one of the last few films hawks directed , hatari ! is a unique and wild ride .\nhatari ! both fits into hawks\u2019 traditional style and departs from them in a few significant ways , namely the avoidance of complex camera work . while the shots in the film are not necessarily complex in their composition or framing , the technological achievement and the resulting spectacle of the animal capture scenes is the marvel .\nlogan\u2019s friend ( think of something resembling an agent , perhaps ) and local bartender ( billy gilbert as mondehare ) finds a wealthy couple willing to pay top dollar for a safari . logan\u2019s reluctant at first but after a first flirtatious meeting with the couple he agrees . he\u2019ll be the guide for the arrogant and self - important baron de courtland ( tullio carminati ) and his potential fianc\u00e9 linda stewart ( madeleine carroll ) .\nthe spectacle of live animal interaction is the film\u2019s highlight , which features scenes of giraffes and rhinos being chased and captured by the films actors , in jeeps , throughout the rough african landscape . hawks\u2019 car - mounted cameras follow the cast in both wide and medium shots of action that clearly puts both the actors and wild animals in the same space , bringing authenticity and danger to levels previous films never achieved . but hawks\u2019 style for hatari ! set the bar for animal / human interaction in action / adventure films , many of the scenes obviously served as the template which could be seen again decades later in steven spielberg\u2019s the lost world : jurassic park , though with the comfort of cgi , which didn\u2019t put the actors in harm\u2019s way .\ni found this movie to be wonderful and not what i totally expected . i was looking for a movie about animals and was blessed with a film that fed all my senses . the scenery was breathtaking and clear . you even got an unexpected education from watching it . the actors were talented and did not take away from the scenery . it was a great blending of talent and location . this is not a documentary about animals but it could be used as a wonderful teaching tool on types of animals and how people relate to them . the movie had suspense and laughter throughout . even though was based on a time when women had a place to be and it was not in the bush country . i recommend this movie as a family movie .\nfinally downriver , they setup base camp . as logan preps his plane for a flight to locate big game in the area , linda decides to come along . though promising the baron that they\u2019ll be back by dark , a combination of bad weather and poor time management cause logan and linda to stay the night by the plane . during their trip linda takes picture after picture of nearby game until logan catches on that she long ago ran out of film . assuming that her white lie is a ploy to spend more time with him , he\u2019s flattered and moves a bit closer to her . only then does it become clear that she\u2019s only interested in making the baron jealous . crestfallen , logan settles in for the night and they return to camp the next morning .\nhoward hawks developed over the course of his career a unique , yet commercially appealing and studio - friendly , style that can be traced through his illustrious and diverse set of films , featuring forty - seven official credits as director . hawks\u2019 style has been widely influential and can be seen in films from directors including clint eastwood , martin scorsese , peter bogdonavich , robert altman , and robert zemeckis . common stylistic tropes and signatures of hawks\u2019 work include overlapping dialogue and eye - level medium shots , and an avoidance of more complex camera - work , which hawks believed distracted from the film . beyond that , many of his films spoke to his personal lifestyle ; as a man fond of risk he came to make films such as the air circus ( 1928 ) , the dawn patrol ( 1930 ) , air force ( 1943 ) , crowd roars ( 1932 ) and red line 7000 ( 1965 ) , that expressed his interests in aviation and auto -

though retirement doesn\u2019t seem too far out of the question .\nthe baron is hoping to finally convince linda to marry him and hopes that in sharing the thrills of the hunt and his prowess in the jungle with her she will finally succumb to his desires . linda\u2019s a bit of an odd duck at first glance . she flirts outrageously with logan and we can feel the tension build between them , but it doesn\u2019t seem to lead to anything .\nonce on the river on the way to the jungle , the baron becomes more forceful and condescending in his demands of logan , which logan accepts as best he can . linda continues her flirtations with logan , who reciprocates to a certain extent . what we start to see is that linda is playing with logan only to make the baron jealous . with each flirtation comes a further agitated order from him to their guide .\nwhile they\u2019ve been away the baron\u2019s gone off on his own in a bit of a jealous rage and shot a leopard . only injuring the animal , he leaves it to one of the manservants ( named \u201chappy\u201d ) to finish off the beast . only happy never returns and logan finds his body coiled with the now dead leopard . we can see that logan\u2019s dander is now up but he continues the hunt .\nalong with linda and the baron , logan comes across a lion . logan cautions the baron to shoot him behind the ear , which a hunter of the baron\u2019s skill should be able to do rather easily . the baron sneers at logan then proceeds to shoot the lion in the shoulder . now it\u2019s logan\u2019s turn to finish off the baron\u2019s work and he disappears into the bush .\nonce out of sight we hear the lion roar and struggle . with each roar we cut to a shot of linda\u2019s face , and it is now that we see that in spite of what she\u2019s said in the past that she\u2019s fallen in love with logan . with a gunshot we hear the struggle cease and logan finally emerges , badly bleeding from his arm . linda wants to run to him but restrains herself .\nafter lecturing the baron on intentionally botching the shot , logan cancels the hunt as he needs medical attention that\u2019s only available back in town . one the way back linda calls things off with the baron for good , knowing that it is logan she desires . after a brief disappearance to convalesce linda finally finds him and all ends well .\nthis site uses akismet to reduce spam . learn how your comment data is processed .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour social account may not have provided your email to us . please confirm or enter it below to complete your profile .\nwe found your email in our system . please provide your site password to link to your existing account .\nforgot your password ? enter your email address and we ' ll send you instructions on how to access your account .\nwe have not verified that the email belongs to you . please check your inbox for the verification email .\nto resend the verification email , please enter your email address and click submit .\nleonard maltin classic movie guide , copyright 2005 , 2010 . used by arrangement with penguin group ( usa ) inc .\ntm & \u00a9 2018 turner classic movies , inc . a time warner company . all rights reserved . code of conduct for this site | press room | privacy policy | | terms of use\n1927 indiana truck with 12459 unrestored miles . hauling & dumping dirt . 8 / 13 / 2011 . . .\ncan ' t find a movie or tv show ? login to create it .\nby signing up for an account on tmdb , you can post directly to twitter and facebook .\nyou need to be logged in to continue . click here to login or here to sign up .\nthe poster is in very good folded condition . there is a piece cut diagonally off the top right\nthis item will be sent through the global shipping programme and includes international tracking . learn more -

well , dick tracy goes sci fi , why not ! maybe a bit too simple , but i enjoyed it . the actor who played dick tracy was not on the level of his predecessor .\ngruesome ( played by boris karloff ) and melody , the robbers enter at the bank .\ndick tracy ( ralph byrd ) is at headquarters speaking with college professor dr . a . tomic ( milton parsons ) , a scientist who suspects someone has been following him . at the morgue , tracy ' s sidekick pat ( lyle latell ) has his back turned when gruesome wakes up and knocks him out . pat describes him to tracy as looking a lot like the actor boris karloff ( a gag cribbed from arsenic and old lace ) .\na trap devised by dick tracy doesn ' t work out because of an alert young ambulance driver who disturbes the whole thing by questioning the gangsters in the most inopportune moment . . .\ngruesome ( real name unrevealed ) is a criminal who has committed crimes in dick tracy ' s city . after escaping from prison , he received a back - alley operation from dr . einstein to alter his features , though he found himself left with an especially unpleasant - looking face .\namerican band poet named revolver , from nashville , tn , released an album called\nmeets gruesome\n. recorded in 2007 , first released in 2008 , and reissued in 2014 by no kings record cadre , with visual references to the film . [ 6 ]\ndick tracy investigates the theft of a fortune of fur coats , a possible insurance swindle and several murders , all linked to a huge thug who wears a hook in place of his right hand .\nlove the dick tracy movies , wish the entire collection wasn ' t into the serial format only are a feature film format . still great entertainment no foul language . . . . . great .\non october 16 , 2014 , writer mike curtis and artist joe staton introduced a version of the gruesome character into the dick tracy comic strip . [ 4 ] they introduced a character inspired by melody ( mel o . dee ) on october 27th of that year . [ 5 ] the cartoonists carry the joke further . gruesome had had plastic surgery done to change his appearance , by a dr . einstein and gruesome gets drafted to portray jonathon brewster in a production of arsenic and old lace .\nin the film , gruesome was an escaped convict who discovered a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that induced a temporary paralysis that simulated death . gruesome used this gas to rob a bank .\nthis story is less gruesome than the idea of ashton kutcher playing a big screen version of ben matlock .\ngruesome ' s fate in the film is ambiguous . after the lumber yard shootout , the bank robbery gang was described as having been\ncaptured\n, though it is unclear if gruesome himself survived tracy ' s gunshot . a later rogues ' gallery entry on the character indicated that he had survived and was serving a life sentence .\na master criminal called the spider puts the famous detective ' s brother under a hypnotic spell and turns him against dick .\na gang of criminals , which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as ' gruesome ' , has found out about a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it . when gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out , the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue , where he later revives and escapes . this puzzling incident attracts the interest of dick tracy , and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank , tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them .\ngruesome received unwanted attention , due to his resemblance to monster movie icon boris karloff . however , gruesome was soon approached by sara karloff ( the actor ' s adult daughter , who was attending the convention ) , and she stated that she did not see a resemblance . gruesome was charmed by sara , and asked for permission to write to her from prison .\na gang of criminals , which includes a piano player and an imposing former convict known as ' gruesome ' , has found out about a scientist ' s secret formula for a gas that temporarily paralyzes anyone who breathes it . when gruesome accidentally inhales some of the gas and passes out , the police think he is dead and take him to the morgue , where he later revives and escapes . this puzzling incident attracts the interest of dick tracy , and when the criminals later use the gas to rob a bank , tracy realizes that he must devote his entire attention to stopping them . written by snow leopard\nthe reason this lively b - film reaches greatness is the thoroughly delicious performance by boris karloff as the vicious thug gruesome .\nboris karloff as gruesome adds a genuine feeling of menace to this addition of dick tracy potboilers . i liked the way his character refers to a henchman killing a cop as a ' useless killing ' . unlike the ' worthwhile killings ' he employs when he decides to get rid of the people who stand in his way . a superb example of twisted criminal logic ! once again , the character of dick tracy is dull and goes through the motions but gets his man in the end anyway . a disappointment is that gruesome doesn ' t meet his fate in a more exciting and . . . well . . . gruesome fashion in keeping with the style of this series of films . especially as gruesome cold bloodliy shoots and kills a woman to stop her squealing to the cops ! for just over a hour , these short films deliver some fast entertainment , there ' s flaws in the plots , the budgets are low but they are fun . and that ' s fair enough for me .\nat a bank where tess trueheart ( anne gwynne ) happens to be , gruesome and melody use nerve gas to incapacitate the customers and the security guard . they rob the place of more than $ 100 , 000 and shoot a cop on the sidewalk before tracy and his men arrive . gruesome demands half of the loot from x - ray . . . . or else .\nthe play resumed . during the second act , otis ' body was discovered by the other actors ( including dee , flintheart , and agate aggie ) . tracy realized that the actors had broken character and made his way backstage . entering from the wings , tracy was joined by sam catchem , who had escaped from the trunk . as they prepared to take gruesome into custody , gruesome detonated a cache of plastic explosives that he had hidden backstage . the set was destroyed , but the audience was largely uninjured .\nfilmed april 1 - late april 1947 , the last of rko ' s four classic dick tracy features , and the only one in which ralph byrd takes second billing . he would continue playing the character on television , until his untimely death in 1952 . see more \u00bb\n2017 marks the eisner centennial , as will eisner would have turned 100 years old this month . to help celebrate , mike curtis , joe staton and the team behind \u201cdick tracy\u201d brought the spirit to the comic strip for the first ever crossover between the two iconic characters .\nusing this gas the mobsters rob a bank by stunning all employees and clients . only tess who was in a phone booth where the gas can ' t penetrate is able to call police inspector dick tracy . but when the police arrives at the bank the robbers are gone .\nthe connection to arsenic and old lace was further expanded when it was revealed that gruesome ' s associate dr . einstein ( the name of the doctor in the play ) had given him his current face in a rushed plastic surgery operation , and when gruesome was cast in a production of the play .\nearly in the gruesome storyline , dr . einstein addresses him as\njohnny\n. this may indicate his real name , or it may be an alias .\nignoring a warning not to touch anything , gruesome sniffs a mysterious test tube that paralyzes him . he appears to be dead and is taken to the city morgue .\nstaton : i did a little explaining of my approach to the spirit before we got into it . i was taking on the spirit from a specific earlier part of will\u2019s strips . because tracy and denny colt have pretty similar hats most of the time , i wanted to make them a little more distinct . earlier in the run the spirit had a hat with a wider brim and a taller crown , and sometimes he had a topcoat . i was trying to make denny colt distinct from dick tracy .\ngruesome went to a theater in the city seeking an old associate named mel o . dee who owed him money . he was greeted by vitamin flintheart and a director who was seeking an actor for a production of the play\narsenic and old lace\n. the director thought that gruesome had the right appearance and gave him the role of jonathan .\ngruesome gave his name as\nchristopher cushing\n. this is a reference to the actors christopher lee and peter cushing , who co - starred in many british horror films ( including works based on dracula and frankenstein ) produced by hammer studios . it is unclear if this has any connection to gruesome ' s real name or if it is an entirely manufactured alias .\njust out of jail , gruesome ( boris karloff ) goes to the hangman ' s knot saloon , where his old crime crony , melody ( tony barrett ) , is now playing piano . gruesome takes him to a plastics manufacturer , where x - ray ( skelton knaggs ) and a mysterious mastermind are in possession of a secret formula and hatching a sinister plot .\nbeing an oldie myself , i enjoy some of the late 30 ' s to late 40 ' s black & whites . i like light mysteries with a twinge of humor . . . nothing too serious or dramatic . i was happy to find these old dick tracy movies on amazon prime . wouldn ' t pay for them but as a prime member , they are fun .\nun gruppo di criminali , che tracy sta tenendo sotto controllo perch\u00e9 implicati in una serie di furti di gioielli , ha qualche problema . i banditi , infatti , vengono decimati da un misterioso killer . tracy indaga e scopre che l ' implacabile assassino \u00e8 nientemeno che l ' ex boss della banda . costui si vuole infatti vendicare del tradimento sub\u00ecto dai suoi uomini .\nboris karloff is gruesome in this tale of a gang that uses paralyzing gas to rob banks . i uploaded this because the only other version available here was 3 . 1 gb in size .\nkarloff gives a fine performance here , everyone does really except ralph byrd . there are some genuinely chilling moments and all - in - all this is the best of the b - movie dick tracys .\nit ' s a fun little movie and karloff has fun with the role of gruesome . the puns in the scripts are fun and i\nm surprised karloff didn ' t get more gangster roles after this .\ngruesome and einstein were able to sneak away from the convention with the help of rikki mortis and abner kadaver . kadaver took the men to an abandoned theme park / miniature golf course where the fugitives could hide out .\ncurtis : they\u2019re both reactive characters . in the classic spirit story \u201cten minutes , \u201d the spirit shows up for three panels , i think , in the whole story . there\u2019s a lot of tracy stories where he\u2019s not the lead .\nstaton : when i signed up years ago to do \u201ctracy , \u201d i had some other things i was planning . between keeping up with \u201ctracy\u201d and there being a boon in doing cons , i haven\u2019t been able to concentrate on any other projects , so i\u2019m taking off for one continuity and shelley is going to be doing the whole strip \u2013 pencils , inks and letters \u2013 and then i\u2019ll be back on . we have no doubt that she\u2019ll do a brilliant job .\nif you liked the dick tracy comics , you ' ll love these 4 films . the first 2 on disc 1 star morgan conway , a little known actor , who does look the part . the other 2 on disc 2 bring back ralph byrd who played the role in 4 cliff hanger serials in the 30s . plus there are some nice little extras after each movie on each side of each disc . so put on your yellow trenchcoats it ' s time for some grade b mysteries of grade a caliber .\ngruesome ' s appearance evolved throughout his storyline in the strip , going from a more photo - realistic look to a highly - stylized , slightly cartoonish one . some readers have commented that he eventually looked as much like abe vigoda as he did like boris karloff .\nin the confusion , gruesome fled in a car driven by dr . einstein . they nearly ran down lizz , damaging their own vehicle in the process . abandoning the car , they entered a monster movie convention being held at locher auditorium , planning to lose themselves in the crowd .\ncurtis : the hard part was finding something that would be of interest and enough of a challenge for both dick tracy and the spirit . it\u2019s like those \u201cworld\u2019s finest comics\u201d where you have to have somebody who\u2019s tough enough to take on superman , batman and robin . i won\u2019t give away anything in the story , but perenelle flammel , who\u2019s the wife of nicolas flammel , is auctioning off her immortality formula . the people who are bidding to buy it are daddy warbucks , the dragon lady , the octopus , who sent mr carrion over to bid for him , and diet smith .\ngruesome was played by actor boris karloff , who is well - known for appearing in various monster movies , most notably as frankenstein ' s monster in the original universal feature film and its sequel . karloff ' s daughter sara ( who has become a character in the strip ) has a friendly relationship with writer mike curtis .\nstaton : will\u2019s approach to stories , and to life , was more humanistic than the gould approach . tracy keeps order , and the spirit just wanders into life and sees who\u2019s hanging in there . they\u2019re both crime fighters they both can take a lot of abuse , but they are from different takes on the world . there\u2019s a little bit of that in the crossover too .\nin his first in - strip appearance , gruesome mentions that a woman ( whom he claimed he was trying to help ) said that he looked like boris karloff . this is a reference to the play arsenic and old lace in which a killer ( played by karloff in the original broadway production ) explains his reason for murdering someone as\nhe said i looked like boris karloff\n( the line was changed for touring company productions in which the role was played by bela lugosi ) .\nstaton : it\u2019s no secret ; nic cuti i have the character e -

shaped flowers with a golden ray down the center of petals and crimson spots . the flowers are fragrant and make a great cut flower .\nthe oil extracted from lilies has healing and softening properties . especially , when the lily fragrance oil is mixed with that of calendula , it works wonderfully for very sensitive skin .\nthe name \u201clily\u201d can be misleading because lots of other plants use it besides true lilies . daylilies and water lilies aren\u2019t lilies at all , and neither are lilies - of - the - valley or lilyturf . with so many other plants using the name \u201clily , \u201d it seems that identity theft has been around since long before the use of computers and credit cards !\nlilies are propagated mainly by means of bulbs . they are also grown from seeds , scales , bulbils and bulblets . one can buy lily bulbs online or from a local bulb vendor .\nasiatic lilies are the earliest to bloom and the easiest to grow . with their upward facing flowers , they bloom early to midsummer . hardy in zones 4 to 9 , asiatic lilies come in pure white , pink , vivid yellow , orange , and red . intense breeding has erased much of the asiatics\u2019 fragrance , but in spite of their lack of perfume , they are a favorite with floral arrangers .\nlily oils can be used for massage , in a bath , after a bath , for babies , dry cuticles and elbows , as a facial moisturizer , under -

year - old actor is surrounded by an incredible cast which includes jamie foxx , kevin spacey , jon hamm , flea from the red hot chili peppers and lily james .\nasiatic and oriental lilies are the most popular garden lily varieties . asiatic lilies bloom first in early summer ( in june ) , right after peonies . they are not fussy as long as they are grown in well - draining soil . they are the shortest type of lily ( about 2 to 3 feet tall ) and come in many colors , from pastel to tropical . they don\u2019t have much of a fragrance , but they do add bright color to the garden . it\u2019s the oriental lilies that have that famously strong fragrance . they are tall and stately ( 4 feet ) , and tend to grow more slowly , often blooming about the time when asiatic lily flowers are fading ( mid - to late - summer ) .\nloosen the soil to a depth of 12 to 15 inches . the deep planting encourages the developing stem to send out roots to help stabilize the plant and perhaps eliminate the need for staking . also , deep planting keeps lily bulbs cool when temperatures soar .\n, which is known as the group of \u201ctrue lilies\u201d . though many other flowers use the word lily in their common name , they are not part of this genus ( and therefore are not true lilies ) . examples include water lilies , calla lilies , daylilies .\nselect a site with soil that drains well . how can you tell ? after a good rain , find a spot that is the first to dry out . water trapped beneath the overlapping scales on the lily bulb may cause rot , so a well - drained site is essential .\nalthough the lilies grown from seeds are more disease resistant , the only disadvantage with growing lilies from seeds is that the lily plants take a longer time to bloom , and maybe , in some cases , even take five to six years . hence , bulbs are very much preferred in growing lilies .\nlily bulbs should look similar in shape to a large bulb of garlic , except lilies do not have the papery covering or \u201cskin\u201d that garlic and onions do . typically , you want to leave lily bulbs in the ground until the foliage ( stem and leaves ) dies back naturally . if you have already pulled them up , then you can just cut off the stem and foliage , leaving about an inch on the bulb . little bulbs growing at the base of the stem are called bulblets ; if they are growing farther up the stem , they are bulbils . both eventually grow into new bulbs , but take a long time to do so .\ni bought an asiatic and an oriental lily . the flowers had been removed on both plants ( i assume because they already bloomed ) . will they overwinter in the ground or should i cut off the foliage and overwinter them indoors ? i ' d prefer to keep them in the ground , if possible . we ' re in zone 5 . thank you !\nhi i bought an indoor lily plant last year , it flowered and it died back . . i followed the instructions online , but this year it has grown ( 6 bulbs in pot ) and is 10 inches in height but it hasnt produced flowers , only what looks like little bulbs with roots , on the top of each plant ! please advice what these are and what if anything i can do ? thanks eirwen\ni had 3 lily bulbs that did not get put into the ground until this past april / may ( can ' t remember for sure when i got them in ) . i wasn ' t sure what would happen , and sure enough , 2 did not come up . i figured they died . while planting other plants , i came across the bulbs . there are no shoots on them at all but they look alive still . what should i do . . . plant them now or store them until a bit later in the fall ? if i should store them , can you tell me how they should be stored ? the kinds i bought are asiatic and oriental . thank you for any help you can give me .\na growing source of silent era film information . this listing is from the progressive silent film list by carl bennett . copyright \u00a9 1999 -

drained soil is essential for the good growth of lilies .\nadding large amounts of organic matter will improve clay or sandy soils . the bulbs will stay in place for several years , so good bed preparation is an investment for the future .\nthe ideal location for lilies will provides direct sun all morning during the summer , with partial shade during hot afternoon hours .\nwhen selecting bulbs , be sure that they do not look dry or shriveled , and plant them immediately .\nproper spacing is usually 12 to 18 inches apart but varies according to the variety selected .\nas soon as the soil has become consistently warm during late spring , apply a 3 - inch layer of organic mulch around the plants . the mulch will conserve soil moisture and keep the soil ( and bulbs ) from becoming too hot during the summer .\nlilies do not require daily watering , but when watering , be sure to water deep enough to reach the bulb .\nfeed the plants with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season . avoid high -

shaped , sitting atop a tall , erect stem with narrow , long , lance - shaped leaves . they come in many beautiful colors , including pink , gold , red , orange , and white .\ntrue lilies grow from bulbs and are of the genus lilium . daylilies ( hemerocallis ) , despite having \u201clilies\u201d in their name , are not true lilies . daylilies have many leaves that grow from a crown , whereas true lilies generally have only one stem or shoot that grows from the bulb . similarly , peace lilies , canna lilies , and calla lilies are not true lilies . learn more about \u201ctrue\u201d lilies .\nlilies tend to bloom from early summer to fall , depending on the type . by carefully blending early , mid - season , and late varieties into your garden , you will enjoy their magnificent blooms from spring through first frost . at home in both formal and naturalistic settings , most lilies also take readily to containers . plus , they make great cut flowers !\nbuy the bulbs close to planting time . you don\u2019t want to buy the bulbs in the fall and wait until spring to plant them .\nlilies need lots of sun . for dependable blooms , lilies need 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day . if it\u2019s too shady , the stems will attempt to lean towards the sun or get spindly and fall over .\nlilies are best suited for zones 3 to 8 . they do not thrive in zones 9 and 10 without a period of refrigeration ; they need a cold , dormant period .\nmost of the popular varieties prefer acidic to neutral soil , but some are lime - tolerant or prefer alkaline soils ( e . g . , madonna lilies ) .\nenrich the soil with leaf mold or well - rotted organic matter to encourage good drainage . learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting .\nplant the bulbs 3 times as deep as the height of the bulb and set the bulb in the hole pointy side up . fill the hole with soil and tamp gently .\nspace bulbs at a distance equal to three times the bulb\u2019s diameter ( usually about 8 to 18 inches apart , depending on the variety ) .\nfor a good effect , plant lilies in groups of 3 to 5 bulbs .\nduring active growth , water freely\u2014especially if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week .\nkeep lilies mulched so that their roots are cool . the mulch should feel moist , but not wet . read more about mulching .\napply a high - potassium liquid fertilizer every 2 weeks from planting until 6 weeks after flowering .\napply a thin layer of compost each spring , followed by a 2 - inch layer of mulch .\nlilies do not bloom more than once per season , but you can remove the faded flowers so that the plants don\u2019t waste energy making seeds .\nremove leaves until they have died down and turned brown in fall . it\u2019s very important not to cut back the leaves until the end of their season because hey help provide nourishment to the bulb for next season\u2019s blooms .\nbefore winter , add 4 to 6 inches of mulch , simply to delay the ground freeze and allow the roots to keep growing . leave the mulch until spring once the last hard frost has passed . see your local frost dates . see your local frost dates .\ndivide plants every 3 to 4 years as new growth begins in the spring . just lift the plants and divide the clumps . replant the new bulbs adding some compost .\ngray mold is sometimes a problem , especially in a wet , cool spring or summer . make sure lilies are not crowded and have plenty of air circulation .\nviruses , spread by aphids , may be troublesome , although some cultivars are virus - tolerant .\ndeer , rabbits , voles , and groundhogs may eat entire plants . if these critters are a problem , plant the bulbs in buried wire cages to protect them from getting eaten .\nlilies make wonderful cut flowers . however , avoid cutting off more than a third of the stem , which can reduce the plant\u2019s vigor and longevity .\nif you are growing lilies strictly for cut flowers , consider planting them in a designated cutting garden , where you can plant fresh bulbs each year .\nwhen cutting lilies , choose those with buds that are just about to open , with a bit of the flower color showing . the higher up buds will open as the bottom ones fade .\nas soon as you get lilies inside , trim the stem ends an inch or so , making a diagonal cut with a sharp knife .\nif you worry that the orange pollen of lilies might cause stains , simply snip off the stamens in the flower\u2019s center .\nbefore arranging in a vase , remove the lower leaves on the stems so that no foliage will be underwater .\nto help prolong the flowers\u2019 life , add cut -

footers to towering 8 - foot - tall giants , orientals are always a striking choice ( the shorter ones are great for patio beds or container gardens ) . adored for their intoxicating fragrance that intensifies after dark , oriental lilies produce masses of huge white , pink , red , or bi - color blooms . they make wonderful cut flowers that will fill even the largest of rooms with their spicy scents .\neaster lilies can be planted in the ground in the spring . they may survive several years if you mulch them heavily in the fall , especially in northern regions . if they survive , they\u2019ll bloom in late summer .\nin a flower bed , lilies prosper in the presence of low - growing plants that protect the lilies\u2019 roots from drying out .\nthe content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly .\nmy daylillies have & are blooming quite a bit . i\u2019m new st this & was wondering if the spent blooms should be removed and if so where is the best place on the stalk to remove them ?\nfor mother ' s day i bought my mom a pot of four lillies . my mom loves having flowers in the house so she has no intention of planting them outside . but , she still has no idea what the right amount of water and sunlight lillies actually need is . would putting them in a room that gets partial sunlight be enough ? as for water , i read that a little bit of water , enough to keep the soil moist not soaked , is enough . is that true ? how would we be sure the soil towards the bottom of the pot is moist as well ? is there any other things we should do to keep the lillies alive for as long as possible ? thanks in advance .\ni bought 3 asian lilies in mid april . they already had buds and fully bloomed within 10 days . the same seems to be happening again . the 3 indiv plants are full of what looks like buds . they are in a long container and i was going to plant them in organic soil . after reading your info and advice i\u2019m asking what you think i should do . i live in sarasota , in sw florida which is zone 9 . thanks .\nrecently bought lillie ' s in a container . 3 per container . do i need to space out the 3 stalks for better results ?\nif you\u2019re planting lilies in a group of three , we would plant them 8 inches apart , depending on the size of the lilies .\ni was recently given cut lilies in a floral arrangement from work . is there a way i can get seeds from them so i can plant my own lilies ? thank you for the guidance .\nthe flowers will likely not have enough strength to produce seeds , unfortunately . once they\u2019re cut , they really only have enough energy to finish blooming before dying .\ni recieved potted oriental lillys for valentine ' s day . i want to save the bulbs for my garden . when will they re - bloom ? what steps should i take as they have already bloomed ?\nas we are moving home & we wish to lift & store for approx 8 weeks what is the preferred method of doing this please \u2014 i\u2019m talking about 40 bulbs . thank you\nto store for travel , dig up your bulbs and gently wash them , removing all dirt . discard any rotten or disease - ridden bulbs . fill a cardboard box ( or several if you have a lot of bulbs ) with alternating layers of dry peat moss and bulbs . top the last layer of bulbs with a final layer of peat moss . when possible , store in a cool and dry place to insure that no moisture gets into the box . we hope this helps !\ni received three pots of lilies , as gifts last spring . my question is what does the bulbs look like ? i have taken these , what i think are bulbs , from the dirt and there is one big glob of things that i think are bulbs , but they are all attached . several little things attached to the stems . do i break the large glob from the stem ? another question these things have roots do i need to plant now it ' s october or do i wait for early spring ?\nif you\u2019re located in a climate where a true winter freeze doesn\u2019t occur , then you can plant the bulbs in the fall . however , if you typically see freezing winter temperatures , then you\u2019ll want to store the bulbs until spring . the easiest option would be to replant them in the pots they came in and store the entire pots in a cool , dark place for the winter . the key to storing lilies is to keep them cool and to not let them dry out , which is why storing them in soil is a good idea . just make sure they do not get too moist , as they could rot .\ni dug up some day lilies to transplant . it rained while they were piled up and some now have mold on them . can they be saved ? thank you for your help .\ntry to carefully remove as much mold as you can from the plants . cut the leaves back to approximately one third to one half their length , then replant . good luck !\nyour idea is a good one\u2013store them and then replant in the fall . good luck !\ni live in rhode island and have an almost accidental garden of asiatic and oriental lilies that have all done incredibly well ( west facing garden against the house in sandy soil with my own compost added each year ) . there are all different kinds that begin to bloom in mid - june and the last assortment finally finishes blooming in sept . i ' ve been reading about harvesting the seed pods and planting them so i ' ll give that a try this year ( i ' ve watched some videos on line about cultivating them ) . my question is ( and this may sound dumb ) will the lilies that grow from the seeds be annuals ? all my other ones have grown from bulbs that come back each year .\nthe lilies you\u2019ll get from this year\u2019s seeds will act just as their parents , so they will also grow into bulbs and come back year after year . you should be aware that lilies grown from seed may take at least two growing seasons to mature , and may not produce flowers until then . the flowers of the new plants may also be different from those of the parent plants , as some of the seeds you harvest this year will likely be hybrids .\ni planted some oriental lilies in pots this spring . after they bloom , i plan on leaving them in their containers after removing their stalks . my zone is 10b ( northern california - bay area ) . my question is whether i need to water my lilies ( and how often ) during\noverwintering\nof my oriental lilies if i plan to leave them in their pot / container outside all winter . thanks !\nas far as possible you want to replicate the conditions the lilies would experience in the ground . as noted above , before winter , add 4 to 6 inches of mulch , simply to delay the ground freeze and allow the roots to keep growing . leave the mulch until spring once the last hard frost has passed . see your local\n. if your ot is not deep enough to allow that much mulch , you could put the pot into something else that would facilitate that ( from a box to the ground ) . also above it says keep moist in winter . how much depends on local conditions . adequate mulch should keep the \u201cmoisture\u201d from freezing . speaking of freezing , a too shallow container ( or bulb depth in ground ) can result in\nthe soil that can lift the bulbs and expose them more than is desirable . rain , followed by dryness , then rain again can also contribute .\nalternatively , we often recommend lifting the bulb , storing it in a cool , dry place in peat moss that you occasionally dampen , then replanting it in spring .\nhi - i ' ve always had success with my lilies . this year , however , all the lilies that were either already planted or newly planted in the fall produced very small flowers - even the casa blancas and they only lasted a few days . we had a hard winter - 56 feet of snow in the mountains . but i prepared the beds as i always do before winter with lots of mulch and cover with pine needles . we are at 6000 feet so we get a fair share of snow . i had some bulbs left that weren ' t planted in the fall . i planted them in the spring and although they never got tall , they got nice flowers . so not sure what to think - wondering if the bulbs are permanently damaged - i lifted a few and the bulbs look okay although the roots are seemed to be shallow . maybe plant them deeper - add a lot of soil and / or sphaghum on top , then mulch . any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . thanks !\nwe might suggest dividing the lilies , but if you lifted and looked at some and they don\u2019t appear to need that\u2026 then , we were beginning to think that maybe your altitude put you on the extreme end of the hardiness zone . but you\u2019ve had success in the past . how about the soil ph ? if you have lilies that prefer neutral to alkaline soil , the pine needles\u2014esp if you have mulched with them over a period of years\u2014may have altered the soil ph . check it and amend , as needed . fall is the best time to lime . here in info on ph : urltoken and more on soil amendments : urltoken\nwe suggest high - potassium fertilizer above ; ever done that ? it would be lacking .\nas for planting deeper ; per above ( you should review all the tips above ) , the holes should be 2 to 3 times the bulb\u2019s diameter . if you think that\u2019s it , we suggest checking the ph , amending as / if necessary , and then planting in fall .\ni think i ' ll try the high potassium fertilizer . i have all varieties of lilies - my casa blancas were always huge and gorgeous . i ' m going to test for ph as well . nothing i can do about the very hard winter but i might increase the mulch topping this fall . thanks for the suggestions !\nvrindawan hsg . soc , new d . p . road , kothrud ( 8 , 447 . 98 mi ) pune , maharashtra 411038\nbest day care , every child enjoys a lot here . . . . all staff members are co -

it\u2019s commendable effort . not trying , and presenting women as a male artist and sticking to old formulas that everyone accepts but that are total crap , is misogyny . the film can be looked at as a film for men , who are encouraged to learn this lesson : if you go into women\u2019s world , you implicitly give up all the pragmatism you cherish , because your skills are from the other half . his experiences in the film are beautiful renderings of absorption into women\u2019s world , which we men cannot understand , and the couple\u2019s ridiculousness as explained by the authors of this article demonstrates men\u2019s world failing as soon as it hits women\u2019s , all our psychological edifice be damned . so , are psychology , reality and morality still misogynistic\u2026 ?\njust finished watching the movie and resorted ahead to some sites where i could find explanations and seen this . i have never encountered a movie that had so many interpretations like this one . i must say , i\u2019m still not convinced and i\u2019m still baffled with the whole construction of the film . i can\u2019t see the purpose of implicating so many symbolisms that most of the audience would leave them resorting to their own understanding . like most of you have said , antichrist is a movie about religion ( of any sort ) and as a catholic , i beg to differ . as biased as it would seem , i don\u2019t like incorporating this movie with the bible and its contents . tier must have just tried to animate everything what\u2019s on his head and produced antichrist as the outcome . i didn\u2019t see any rulings in the film that might have established some sort of a religious backbone that probably led the characters\u2019 developing behaviours . there were elements in the film though that would support the most likable theory of this very mind - boggling film but as i said , they were just elements in the story ( like the xray photo that was just left right there ) and nothing more . i think the film was just trying to show the imbalances between couples , and how negligence and disregarded detainments could lead to greater destruction and insanity . it\u2019s obvious that the two just lost it .\n9 has received mixed to positive reviews from critics , with its visuals being the most highly praised aspect . based on 112 reviews collected by rotten tomatoes , the film has an overall\nrotten\napproval rating of 56 % from critics , with the top critics ranking it slightly lower , giving it a\nrotten\nrating of 50 % and the film having an average score of 6 / 10 . the rating from the rt community has been slightly higher , with a rating of 73 % . on metacritic , it currently holds a score of 60 out of 100 mixed or average reviews . the general sentiment by critics is that the film is\nlong on imaginative design but less substantial in narrative .\nvariety s todd mccarthy says\nin the end , the picture ' s impact derives mostly from its design and assured execution .\nin the commentary for 9 , a comment was made about a prequel leading up to the events of 9 . it was also stated in the commentary that the rain drops had microscopic organisms that would eventually evolve and be shown in a sequel . it is unknown if these were serious comments . currently no plans for a sequel have been made , but possibilities have been mentioned via the film ' s dvd commentary . shane acker has also mentioned the possibility of a sequel being made because of the lack of darker animated films , claiming that everything is g and pg rated anymore with little to no dark elements . he has said that he will continue to make darker animated films , either doing so with a sequel to 9 plus original ideas for future films . before the theatrical release of the film , director shane acker , producer tim burton and music composed by danny elfman stated he was open for a sequel . he also stated that there may be more sequels than just a second film , and also video games based on the film . in an interview released on moviesonline , he brought up the possibility of the sequel being titled 10 .\nat one point , chief bogo references\nlet it go\nfrom frozen . this was not only an obvious reference to the aforementioned film , but also a nod to frozen ' s co - director jennifer lee , who served as a co - writer for zootopia .

minutes pretty much has the teens messing around and then the final three - minutes has the court coming to life . i didn ' t find there to be any suspense but then again i think a lot of this has to do with the actual setting . the film was clearly influenced by the japanese ghost movies and this is easy to spot with the fast cutting pace as well as the ending when we actually see what ' s doing all the damage . i thought the two actors ( mark winter , shelly lauman ) were also quite good in their roles . the 2 . 35 : 1 aspect ratio is also put to good use as the director really uses it to his advantage including a very good shot early on as the drunk couple are walking away from their car and the image of the house behind them was quite good . this certainly isn ' t a classic ghost tale but it ' s a nice way to kill ten -

born thesp ) it doesn\u2019t detract too much . a major plus is gayle hunnicutt , who is one of the more fleshed - out female leads in the series ( helped in part by the length of the story ) .\nin 2012 , gayle was featured in an episode of the hgtv reality show selling london . it followed her during the sale of her primrose hill victorian house and her subsequent purchase of an english country property to be close to her grandchildren .\nsome early gayle from the first year of her big / small screen career . as with some other us network family shows of the time , the bikini bottoms had to cover the bellybutton , which was seen as a threat to public decency .\namerican actress gayle hunnicutt , then aged 30 , was the first choice for the role of solitaire in\nlive and let die\nafter the part had been re - written for a white actress . screenwriter tom mankiewicz originally ( very loosely ) adapted ian fleming ' s novel with solitaire being african - american - specifically , diana ross . but pressure from united artists for a ' safe script ' , despite the blaxploitation trend at the time , forced the racial flip with the rosie carver role .\n\u2018texans have a thing about light , \u2019 says gayle , who grew up in a \u2018typical american suburban house\u2019 in fort worth , the only child of her father sam , who served in the south pacific during the second world war , and mother virginia .\nsues for divorce from hemmings in london . her divorce petition is filed among a list of undefended suits in the london divorce court . gayle names as\nthe other woman\nbaroness prudence de casembroot , who for the last year has been hemming ' s secretary .\nrepeated requests to take film parts lured him back to acting , and after blow up they multiplied . he appeared in barbarella , camelot and the charge of the light brigade and married the american actress gayle hunnicutt . but in the early 1970s he turned to directing , making the well - regarded running scared and just a gigolo which starred david bowie . when the great cry of astonishment went up over his return as cassius in gladiator , he quipped :\npeople thought i was dead but i was just directing the a team .\ngayle met hemmings ( of blow -

wanted child , gayle , was born while he was away and was 18 months old when he returned . the letters are full of longing , humour , boredom and , as time drags on , unfocused jealousy and fear that she is going to be ensnared by\nsome city slicker\nbefore he gets home .\nwriting hunnicutt has written two books ; the first , health and beauty in motherhood , was published in 1984 . in 2004 , she published dearest virginia : love letters from a cavalry officer in the south pacific , which contains the letters exchanged by her parents during world war ii .\ncompare the still of gayle hunnicutt as charlotte stant presenting a quietly ( subtle this adaptation ) vulnerable face to the prince upon her reintroduction to him to that of uma thurman as charlotte ( above ) . the difference is not just in subtlety but hunnicutt ' s assumption of self - possession which thurman lacks from the outset . i can ' t compare the stills of maggie and her father from the two adaptions because both resolutely make maggie innocent and erase the incestuousness driving the purchase of the prince and charlotte - - the most disquieting and central part of the book . nick nolte ' s coldness and tyranny come from his actions and are not seen in his steely face ( except that it is steel ) ; barry morse is enigmatic . jill townsend does present strength when she ejects charlotte , but we get no sense of her egoism and perhaps more violating transgression . e . m . e . m . ellen\nthe star factor means gayle\u2019s family home is now on the market for \u00a36 million although the 68 - year - old former star of dallas and movies including marlowe ( with james garner ) and target ( with gene hackman and matt dillon ) is more enamoured of the village atmosphere than the area\u2019s celebrity kudos .\ngayle admits it\u2019s a \u2018race against time to sell\u2019 as she\u2019s made an offer on a large country house with land and a swimming pool . \u2018i hope a family with children buy it and enjoy living here as much as we have . it\u2019s a great house for sunday lunches and dinner parties , \u2019 she says .\nthat charlotte is left shattered , just shattered and without a will ( here gayle hunnicutt comes into her own at the close ) . maggie is presented as frantic and jealous of the prince and angry about this sexual liasion , but here is what i find the presentation not adequate to the case : there is no sense really of adam verver as himself having evil or sinister tendencies he is presented as loving his daughter and while incest is in the air as something emotional , we are not made to feel really that the father and daughter tried to buy their way to a private life of their own , using this desperately poor pair .\nin addition , ' ' the golden bowl , ' ' produced by martin lisemore and directed by james cellan jones , has an exceptionally fine cast : jill townsend as maggie verver , the wealthy american innocent abroad ; barry morse as her devoted father ; daniel massey as the italian prince she marries , and gayle hunnicutt as charlotte stant , her childhood friend who , unknown to maggie , has long been in love with the prince . these four constitute a central rectangle , which , if observed from a distance , might prompt the casual observer to conclude that maggie and her father were one married couple , her husband and friend the other .\nhunnicutt , 67 , was previously married to david hemmings , the late star of the cult sixties film blow - up . she added of evans :\nthe person who introduced us in 1975 reintroduced us last summer . we both became separated and neither of us knew . it is one of those extraordinary things .\nspectacularly forgetting her well - bred background , hunnicutt warned eggar that\nif she thought she was going to see me off , she had another think coming . i then said something very rude . i told her : ' if he fucks his leading ladies , i ' m starring in the next film with him . '\nalthough she wanted to be an actress from the age of five , gayle\u2019s parents also set great store by academic achievement and she won a scholarship to the university of california in los angeles to study english literature and theatre . it was here that she was spotted by a warner bros talent scout while performing in a student production .\nover the years gayle has made her mark on the property , which has the well - worn , traditional decor of a much - loved family home . she and simon brought up nolan , 40 ( her son by her first husband , the late british actor david hemmings ) , and their son together , edward , 29 , here .\nat 61 , hunnicutt is still recognisably the cool creature who entered dallas as jr ' s english mistress and became the epitome of enigmatic reserve in the television adaptation of henry james ' s the golden bowl . she starred with james garner in marlowe . fragment of fear was her first film with hemmings and in running scared , he directed her .\nhemmings says in london that he and gayle were never legally married but went through\na form of marriage ceremony\nin sorrento , italy , last september . she ' s reported to have left london to stay with friends in paris . british newspapers quote her :\nthe ceremony was emotional and impetuous and , we realized later , quite invalid .\nas to the meaning , there was even less about maggie and her father . no sense of them as somehow emotionally incestuous at all . at least the 1972 movie showed that over time if it was never explicitly acknowledged and the pair remained unblamed . interesting to me here is no more sex in this one than the 1972 . in the 1972 we see daniel massey a couple of times just about to take gayle hunnicutt ' s clothes off and we get the sense of a long lived affair while maggie and her father stay together . in this movie they do nearly strip and jump into bed , but the sex is done discreetly and over quick and hardly seen among bedclothes and seems only to happen once .\nthere still are , and hunnicutt talks sharply about the questionable morals of a small group of\nspoilt , rich privileged people\namong the chattering classes who make up her present social circle .\nit ' s all about behaving well in public and doing what you like in private ,\nshe says .\ni find it disgusting . nothing could be more different from my father .\nhunnicutt ' s parents were seduced by hemmings ' s charm but his treatment of their daughter must have tested to the limit their christian ethic of forgiveness .\ni think they were utterly bewildered . nothing like this had ever come into their lives . i don ' t think they knew people behaved like this . they adored david and they never said whether it changed their view of him .\nhis own cast -

style plots had dominated indian television soaps . instead of following this trend , balaji conducted research and tv shows and viewers . balaji ' s research showed that the reach of fiction - based shows was about 60 % and that they appealed to women across regions and languages . . .\nthe idea was to create a small but radical brand for the banner she launched lsd with : alt entertainment . \u201cjust as with tv , we broke the clutter by introducing something that nobody had seen before . i wanted to introduce alt with a small film with a large concept . the production should scream , i thought . \u201d dibakar banerjee , the director of the film , had her convinced the first time he narrated the story to her . \u201cthe dog -

- of all things - - the town mayor . however , with an outlaw as sexy and fine as neil , i can ' t blame olivia for falling . . . i also loved that neil and his brother , two shafts , got a chance to show us some more of their\nspecial justice\nand\nplay .\ncatching up with chase and cara jefferson ( night song ) , dix wildhorse ( topaz ) , jackson blake ( topaz and always and forever ) , griffin blake , and the preacher ( taming of jessi rose ) was like being at a family reunion . the only thing i hate about a beverly jenkins ' book is that it ends ! ms jenkins thank you , thank you , for your gift !\nthis book was a joy to read ! it read like an action packed western romance movie . not only were neil and olivia a wonderful couple to read about , but the secondary characters added so much humor and fun to the story . i highly recommend this book .\nonce again mrs . jenkins does not disappoint ! ! ! ! ! ! i truly enjoyed this novel . mrs . jenkins makes me want to time travel ! ! ! ! two words : black love ! ! ! ! !\nthis one had the most lol moments . it left me very happy as her books usually do and i am in love with two more characters . she also brought back chase and cara my most favorite of all her characters .\ni fell so in love with neil july . his and two shafts ' antics are hilarious . as always , i am fascinated by ms . jenkins ' history lessons . this time i had the opportunity to learn about the seminoles .\nthis was a pleasant read that was hard to put down . i especially like how the author weaved historical facts , and touches of lives during the time period into the story . for example , how they cooked or cleaned . i am eager to read more by this author .\nsomething like awesome ! i knew this was going to be another of ms . jenkins ' brilliant creations when i saw the names neil july , bro two shafts , the preacher and others , brought to the forefront from another masterpiece , the taming of jessi rose . this read was funny , warm , heartfelt , and as always , educational . over the past 18 months or so i ' ve read many of ms . jenkins ' books . each one is very hard to put down . lately she is all i want to read . a few days vacation coming up ; 4 more of my rock st\ni truly feel for the reviewers who gave this book such poor ratings . although this wasn ' t one of bj ' s steamier novels , it was still well written like all of her other novels . i am a die hard fan of mrs . jenkins and i appreciate her ability to intertwine romance with african - american history . i enjoyed the lady mayor and outlaw storyline and i love how mrs . jenkins re - introduces characters from her other novels . i have been reading historical romance novels since i was a teenager and i have never found another author who interests me in the same way that beverly jenkins has in my 35 years on this earth . keep up the awesome work mrs . jenkins , your real fans will keep reading ! ! ! we love you ! ! ! !\nolivia and\non the run\nneil july sparkle off the pages with their chemistry ! love the history told through this novel . i am so interested in all black towns during the exodus times . it even sparked me to do some research .\nsomething like awesome ! i knew this was going to be another of ms . jenkins ' brilliant creations when i saw the names neil july , bro two shafts , the preacher and others , brought to the forefront from another masterpiece , the taming of jessi rose . this read was funny , warm , heartfelt , and as always , educational . over the past 18 months or so i ' ve read many of ms . jenkins ' books . each one is very hard to put down . lately she is all i want to read . a few days vacation coming up ; 4 more of my rock star author loaded on my kindle -

unless he marries the girl first . but not to worry , if a story is done for preacher , ms . bev would definitely work it out . beverly jenkins , you are the absolute best ! keep up the good work !\nif only i could conjure men up like the ones in this book ! oh well , i will continue to fantasize . as i have said before , i have not read romance novels since i was 16 . i became bored with them . they were to unrealistic and did not speak to me as a black woman . and i am not the type to feel my mind with trash books . i have always been of the mind that only empty headed people read romance novels , not serious readers . however , i love ms . beverly . the romance and erotica is just a small part of the story . it is not the story . she engages me intellectually too . so for folks who need some mental stimulation , with just a tad of erotica , she is the perfect author . it is not vulgar and in your face crap you would read in street or urban literature . she is superior to those folks . they are not in the same league . a passage that caught my attention :\nsince the war , many of the full - bloods have conveniently forgotten the sacrifices my people made to the nation . contributions of men like john horse and gopher john are being conveniently forgotten , as are all the african - descended seminoles who negotiated on behalf of the full bloods with the spanish and americans because we spoke all three languages . they definitely don ' t want to discuss all the battles we fought together so that everyone could be free . the full - bloods have bought into the redemptionist ideal that we of african seminole descent have no rights .\nthe characters were well - written and i enjoyed the story line . i didn ' t know this was part of a series when i started reading it , but it became clear , especially in the second half of the book when new characters were introduced and most of them hinted at their own epic love stories . this story also piqued my interested in the plight of black american indians during the post -

[ 2 ]\nthe series is loosely based on the serialized two - volume novel by koichi iiboshi that chronicles the hiroshima gang war that lasted nearly twenty five years . the series revolves around shozo hirono an ex - soldier living in hiroshima after world war ii .\nin the wake of the bomb , ex - soldier shozo hirono [ bunta sugawara ] joins a hiroshima yakuza gang , the japanese equivalent of the mafia\u2013and then the shootings , slashings , betrayals , and scheming begin . premiering a year after the godfather , the yakuza papers [ aka battles without honor and humanity ] also broke box office records and spawned sequels , but , in contrast , took a ruthlessly de - romanticized view of the underworld . based on an actual gang boss ' s memoirs , the yakuza papers plunges the audience into a gritty , brutal , violent newsreel of a three - decade struggle for power of shakespearean complexity , a nihilistic epic unlike any other .\nthe series still resonates in japan , where\nbattles without honor & humanity\nhas become a common t - shirt slogan ( as well the title of a tomoyasu hotei instrumental used in quentin tarantino ' s kill bill , and now the cue music for seemingly every sports - related talk - radio show in america ) . the yakuza papers ' endurance has primarily to do with the filmmaker ' s critical analysis of japan ' s national character . fukasaku openly questions whether the legendary japanese sense of duty was wiped out by the atomic bomb , or whether it was always just an ideal for tourists and old movies , never meant to be taken seriously .\nalmost all of the yamamori underbossses in fact , during the war with the doi only hirono and wakasugi are willing to take the fight to the enemy .\nthe advice i was given before seeing battles without honor and humanity was ,\nprepare to roll with the punches .\nthat wasn ' t enough preparation for kinji fukasaku ' s five - film yakuza epic , known collectively as the yakuza papers . i was already a bit wary of fukasaku , having been less than thrilled by his later graveyard of honor ; it was supposed to be a culmination of the director ' s nihilistic style . i might have appreciated graveyard more had the yakuza papers come along first . it ' s fukasaku ' s idea of a japanese national epic seen through the tawdry vision of the yakuza genre . thirty years of gang warfare for control of the streets of japan becomes a perverse history of that nation ' s rise from ignominious defeat to a modern democracy .\nthis review isn ' t for the actual battles films as they are all stellar examples of the yakuza genre , if not the most quintessential yakuza films ever shot .\nset in post - war japan , fukasaku drew on his experiences as a child during world war ii for battles without honor and humanity . at fifteen he worked with other children in a munitions factory that was regularly bombed . the director recalled\neven though we were friends working together , the only thing we would be thinking of was self - preservation . we would try to get behind each other or beneath dead bodies to avoid the bombs . . . . i also had to clean up all the dead bodies . . . . i ' m sure those experiences have influenced the way i look at violence .\nthe film , noted for its\nextreme violence ,\nopens with japanese soldiers , during america ' s occupation of their country , stealing food and murdering for a bowl of rice .

[ 9 ] the shaky camera technique has since become a trademark of the director .\nwe ' re told that fukasaku ' s the yakuza papers changed all that . based on reportedly true stories of decades of gang feuding , the title\nwithout honor and humanity\nis entirely accurate . the previous romantic notion of loyalty is a sham from the start . vicious gangs build rackets out of the immediate post - war climate of black marketeering and national humiliation . the rituals are all there even though fukasaku doesn ' t dwell on them : thugs attach themselves to clans almost in marriage , supposedly waiving all other ties of loyalty . but most of the soldiers and almost all of the bosses ignore the yakuza code while working whatever machiavellian schemes are available to them . gang personnel are treated as expendable assets . bosses wheedle and talk about honor while their wives whine on about nobility and make promises nobody intends to keep . if that ' s not the story of the modern business world , nothing is .\n\u201cthe hunter is stronger than the prey\u201d . the secret history of japan\u2019s post - war capitalism . it starts with a mushroom cloud and just goes more savage from there .\n, a five - film analysis of hiroshima gangster wars spanning twenty - five years . covering a twelve - year period immediately following world war ii ,\nhome vision ' s impressively - mounted boxed set of the yakuza papers : battles without honor and humanity comes in a metal sleeve ( so i am assured ) with a card and plastic insert that folds out like an accordion . an insert booklet has essays by patrick macias and tom mes and reproductions of original posters . a sixth disc contains a number of interview docus , detailed below . william friedkin talks about the influence these pictures had on american action films , but i ' m not sure they were ever really screened here until the 1990s , in bad - boy action retrospectives at film festivals and the american cinematheque . in any case the series seems more influenced by the free - form aesthetic of american action movies , especially blaxploitation movies . the cool soundtrack score frequently resembles the catchy jazz riffs from american actioners of the time .\nwhen shundo selected fukasaku to direct he received backlash from his toei colleagues , who felt the director could not make the film\ninteresting\nor\ncommercial\nenough . shundo himself did not like fukasaku ' s earlier films , stating that he made them for his own enjoyment only , but changed his mind after seeing 1972 ' s street mobster . [ 6 ] kasahara was against the selection of fukasaku . [ 2 ] fukasaku biographer sadao yamane explained the two had worked together previously and fought over a story fukasaku disliked , although the two eventually worked over it , the director left the project due to ill health . however , when fukasaku read the battles without honor and humanity script he said he would not change a thing and the film was green lit . [ 7 ]\nthe film is credited as one of the first modern yakuza films ; prior , movies about yakuza were known as ninky\u014d eiga ,\nchivalry films\n, and set in pre - war japan . [ 4 ] the a . v . club ' s noel murray states that fukasaku ' s yakuza instead only\nadhere to codes of honor when it ' s in their best interest , but otherwise bully and kill indiscriminately .\n[ 23 ] dennis lim of the village voice writes\nfukasaku ' s yakuza flicks drain criminal netherworlds of romance , crush codes of honor underfoot , and nullify distinctions between good and evil .\n[ 24 ] film scholar richard torrance suggests that the film acts as a\nmicrocosm of the broader society and international order of the post - war period , in which violence lacks moral significance and exists without heroes .\n[ 25 ] this new yakuza film genre became known as jitsuroku eiga (\nactual record film\n) , often depicting events based on true stories .\nfukasaku begins battles with a still picture of an atomic blast , establishing the series as a critique of the\nin - the - ruins generation\nthat was born in the rubble of world war ii . throughout the yakuza papers , characters refer back to the war , as in deadly fight in hiroshima , where the hero wishes he had been a kamikaze pilot , so he ' d be spared the fate of a lovesick , suicidal button - man . the series starts in the hiroshima refugee camps of 1946 , where a group of young men get involved with the black market and ally themselves with the region ' s crime\nfamilies .\nbunta sugawara stars as the toughest of the lot , who watches his friends ' idealism get swamped by the job ' s necessities . over the next four films\u2014 deadly fight , proxy war , police tactics , and final episode \u2014the story hardly changes . for 25 years , the yakuza families swap loyalties and butcher each other , while sugawara does his best to stay out of the fray and make a living .\nduring the violent chaos of post - war japanese black market , a young gangster called shozo hirono has to keep up with the rapid shifts of power between unscrupulous bosses .\nthis story of the power struggle between and within yakuza clans in post - war hiroshima begins in 1946 and runs through into the 50s . and opening as it does with footage of the bomb which had so recently destroyed the city , the film signals that it is going to be bloody and violent and have little respect for life .\ntrope maker : for jitsuroku - eiga , a deconstructive sub - genre of yakuza films that were far more cynical than 1960s ninkyo films which were filled with far more idealistic tales about honor , brotherhood , tradition , and loyalty .\nand humanity , a new audio commentary by critic and author stuart galbraith iv filling in many details of kinji fukasaku ' s efforts to grind these out ats a steady pace as well as the massive impact on japanese culture at the time , the violence and much more . it ' s a good listen ! also on the first\nthe fourth film began in september 1973 . set after the hiroshima incidents , hirono and the lead characters are now high - ranking bosses that do not appear in the battles themselves . therefore , kasahara and director kinji fukasaku decided to show the violent story from multiple angles in an objective way .

- the japanese mafia . shozo hirono ( bunta sugawara ) is a former japanese soldier who , following his nation ' s defeat in world war ii , finds . . .\nthat ' s where shozo comes unto his own . distinguishing himself by refusing to blindly follow orders , shozo sees that he ' s being set up as an expendable proxy and instead pulls his own careful counter move that he hopes will result in the expulsion of his dishonorable boss . naturally nothing is that easy but it ' s fascinating to see how shozo , a good player but no genius , works his way through impossible situations .\nwith the korean war in 1950s , the yamamori family thrives and expands in the immediate years , but internal strife begins when members start dealing philopon due to the high price the boss takes off their earnings . sakai , who follows the boss ' orders not to sell , feuds with shinkai when he discovers shinkai ' s underling toshio arita is dealing the drug , but agrees yamamori ' s take is too high . the family adopts sakai ' s plan to each become self - sustaining , which results in a large drop in the boss ' funds , with only shinkai and yano objecting . shinkai is contacted by kanamaru to reform the doi family and get rid of sakai , and yamagata is killed for tailing them and finding this out . when it is revealed that yamamori is selling the drugs he confiscates from the other members for himself , sakai and ueda threaten the boss that without them he would be nothing . yamamori has ueda killed by arita and a war breaks out . it proves to be very one sided with shinkai and doi men being killed in the streets before arita is arrested and shinkai killed attempting to escape .\n. they are set in post - war japan , just following the end of the war . in particular , it centers on a certain former soldier , named shozo hirono ( played by bunta sugawara ) , as he navigates the yakuza underworld and claws his way to the top , surrounded by liars and schemers . the series is adapted from a series of newspaper articles , by journalist k\u014dichi iiboshi , that were rewrites of a manuscript originally written by real - life yakuza , k\u014dz\u014d min\u014d , while he was in prison , giving the movies a documentary or biographical feel .\nin the early episodes shozo forms strong ties with doomed yakuza buddies who try to live up to the code . these relationships give us something to care about in what would otherwise be a completely nihilistic series of rotten deals and betrayals . by the third episode fukasaku and his writers are veering into political territory , already implied through the constant visual return to that civic building retained as a memorial to the atomic bombing of hiroshima . the third chapter is called proxy wars in an attempt to show that the yakuza strife is a microcosm for the cold war struggle happening in the late 60s - instead of battling in the open , the yakuza clans allow captains and sub - chiefs to settle conflicts at a lower level in much the way that america and the soviet union ( in some interpretations ) nutured client states to be come substitute combatants . proxies do the fighting and suffer the consequences , and the masters are free to disassociate themselves when necessary .\nin honor of the just released criterion collection ' s magnificent 4k blu -

brother association with someone in another gang . the resolution is usually a bloodbath followed by a sacrifice , usually a long prison term . the noble yakuza retains his honor but remains a loser in life .\nblack and gray morality : really , no one is good in this series . for one thing , they ' re all yakuza , which makes them evil by default . but there is really not a single decent person in the cast . while some , like hirono , do actually cherish the yakuza honor code , they find it nearly impossible to keep it in the immoral surroundings they find themselves in , and even they turn to assassinations , and murder just to stay alive .\nthe writer flew to hiroshima on april 2 , 1973 to ask min\u014d and takeshi hattori , second president of the kyosei -

autumn rose . whilst waiting for my copy to arrive in the post , i browsed through some of the reviews on goodreads out of curiosity . they were mixed . some loved it , others were disappointed ; primarily because of the lack of kasper varn and violet lee - the two characters who had us enthralled in dinner with a vampire - some\ni have a dream that one day even the state of mississippi , a desert state , a state sweltering with the heat of injustice , a state sweltering with the heat of oppression , will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice .\nthis was a difficult book for me to review , let me say first that i loved dinner with a vampire the first time i read it , i actually started reading it on wattpad then on kindle when it came out . as soon as i discovered that autumn rose was due out i pre - ordered it and re - read dinner since it had been awhile but i must admit i didn ' t enjoy it as much on the second reading . the night before autumn was released reviews started appearing on goodreads a couple of people loved it but most were surpri\nautumn rose is the second book in abigail gibbs\u2019 the dark heroine series . i read the first book \u2013 the dark heroine : dinner with a vampire \u2013 last year , and enjoyed it for the most part , so i was interested to see how the series progressed . initially , it defied my expectations . i was expecting it to pick up more or less where the previous book left off , given that we met autumn rose at the end , but it doesn\u2019t . instead , it moves back in time to the moment of violet lee\u2019s kidnapping , and relates aut\nes gibt b\u00fccher , die h\u00e4tte man schon viel fr\u00fcher lesen sollen . . . . .\nautumn rose\nist eines davon . in\ndark heroine\nkonnte mich abigal gibbs mit ihrem vampirroman mit biss \u00fcberzeugen . endlich waren vampire wieder einmal das , was sie sein sollten : keine weichgesp\u00fclten loverboys sondern hartgesottene monster . am ende erf\u00e4hrt man , worum es in band 2 geht , n\u00e4mlich um autumn rose , der ersten dunklen heldin . geschickt webt die autorin die informationen zu ihrer komplexen welt in eine unterrichtsstunde v\nif izhavto can seize a fraction of the anticipated growth , enticing first -

tingle . the wwii backdrop definitely came to life and i found myself very much enjoying most aspects of this story . our intrepid heroine , betty ( code name : adele ) , isn\u2019t satisfied sitting on the sidelines . she lies about her age so she can train to become a spy . along the way she makes an unlikely best friend , falls in love with an american pilot and manages to pull off more than her share of bravery . this all makes for a very engrossing read , y\u2019all ! the one weak spot of violins of autumn is definitely the romance . it isn\u2019t the focus of the story , and while i\u2019m glad\u2026i was disappointed with robbie , the american love interest . bless his heart , he just didn\u2019t do anything for me . i wasn\u2019t feeling the swoons . i did feel a little more with pierre , the french bad -

occupied france until its liberation by allied forces \u2013 we follow adele and see the part she plays in the war . from undercover tours of enemy munitions factories to dodging check - in points on bicycle \u2013 there certainly aren\u2019t a lot of dull moments ! then , when things start to go wrong , adele has to ferret out the existence and identity of an unlikely double agent . seriously , i loved seeing adele\u2019s growth throughout violins of autumn . she has to deal with a lot of confusion and growing pains along with the constant pulse of danger . seeing how the war was changing her while at the same time seeing her struggle not to let it ? definitely made the pages keep turning . i found so many passages very elegantly written : \u201cregular life . it still goes on around me . while a kind man was working up the nerve to ask me on a date , i was working up the nerve to kill him with my bare hands . \u201d if you\u2019re a fan of historical fiction , violins of autumn by amy mcauley is definitely a book you\u2019ll want to pick up !\nall logos , trademarks and content in this site are property of their respective owner , the comments and reviews of their posters .\n3 , 5 sterne . band 2 bleibt leider ein wenig hinter dem auftakt zur\u00fcck . . . ich hatte eigentlich erwartet , dass es direkt mit violet weitergeht . wie geht es ihr nach dem ende ? mich bei autumn einzufinden hat aber nicht lange gedauert , sie ist sympathisch und die geschichte ist spannend . auch fallon wurde mir nach und nach sympathischer ( ebenso wie es bei kaspar der fall war ) . aber ich hatte das gef\u00fchl , dass die geschichte sich sehr ver\u00e4ndert , auch in ihrer erz\u00e4hlweise , als autumn und violett aufeinand\nit would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment . this sweltering summer of the negro ' s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality . nineteen sixty -

year old autumn , is a sage , a magic user and a noble woman , a sagean duchess of england , who goes to a normal school and struggles with her rising power as a seer and her depression due to the loss of her grandmother . no one in her school knows who she really is until prince fallon enrolls in the same school to keep and eye on her , and they start falling in love . straight away i struggled to like autumn . she did not feel like a well developed character , she was disjointed , jumpy , scattered , neurotic . it seemed that i was supposed to admire her but she confused the hell out of me . her relationship with fallon was even worse . they were meant to feel for each other but i wasn ' t seeing it . no spark , zilch , nada . at last there was the whole threat of extermino suspiciously similar to harry potter ' s death eaters and a pretty messy concept of heroines saving the world . from what ? extermino with their conflicting goals ? people like violet ' s father ? i wasn ' t seeing the picture . i perked up a little when kaspar and violet showed up , but the joy didn ' t last . they were described through autumn ' s eyes , her perception , and looked pathetic . she was very judgemental , our girl . so , perhaps , abigail gibbs rushed this book through publication , perhaps she felt like she needed a back story and lacked enthusiasm to write it , but whatever the reason , autumn rose failed to keep me as enthralled as the previous book . i reserve my judgement until book three , hoping it will rekindle my enthusiasm for the series .\n2 . 5 stars this was all over the place , i don ' t know what happened but i don ' t think she must have been very enthusiastic about it or was just rushing to finish it . the ' romance ' ( if you can call it that ) between her and fallon was basically non - existent , it was stilted and awkward and there was no character building . i didn ' t like autumn , i felt that her ' depression ' was not realistic , it seemed like it was just thrown in there just for the sake of it . also , violet and kaspar ? autumn was very judge\nrinse with a tincture of myrrh . the astringent effects can help with inflammation and myrrh offers the added benefit of killing bacteria . simmer 1 teaspoon of powdered myrrh in 200ml of water for 30 minutes . strain and let cool . rinse with a teaspoon of the solution in a small glass of water 5 to 6 times a day . alternatively try 10 drops of tea -

blog * * * by your side by kasie west publisher : harperteen publication date : january 31 , 2017 rating : 4 stars source : arc sent by the publisher summary ( from goodreads ) : in this irresistible story , kasie west explores the timeless question of what to do when you fall for the person you least expect . witty and romantic , this paperback original from a fan favorite is perfect for fans of stephanie perkins and morgan matson . when autumn collins finds herself accidentall\nrelease date : january 31 , 2017 ehh i feel like 2 . 5 stars is pretty generous . i love kasie west ' s other books , but this one was pretty . . . empty ? like the characters were all shallow and the plot was pretty basic . autumn and dax are locked in a library over a long weekend ( but could have been literally anywhere because they didn ' t care about the books . they watched tv and ate candy bars ) . the first 40 % of the book is them establishing that autumn is rich & has lots of friends , while dax is a cliche loner bad boy with a rep he doesn ' t deserve because he ' s in foster care and went to juvie for good reasons etc . autumn has an anxiety disorder , but it seems like it ' s mostly thrown in as a prop . . . and it ' s pretty much her entire personality . autumn ' s friends are the worst . but that ' s never really addressed , so that ' s just how they all are . none of them get much of a character . they ' re just the people who forgot about her in the library and left for a bonfire , where the guy autumn has a crush on got in a car accident . so the remaining portion of the story is how autumn is torn between the guy she likes who ' s in a coma and the unsociable dax ( because they apparently bonded with in the library ) . she tells dax that they can ' t kiss and he just has to be a happy distraction for her anxiety . idk where the plot even is but there ' s very little emotion anywhere . the story is super short and everything seems to be more of a plot device than anything that actually matters . it still has the light , fluffy tone of kasie west ' s other books and i liked the potential i saw in it for a bit , but by 70 % i was done trying to care much . in the end this feels more like a character study than a full story . but even that doesn ' t exactly work because the characters were all flat . so the main thing this book has going for it is the solid writing and lighthearted tone . i ' d still recommend checking it out if you like this author ! ! thank you to the publisher for sending me an arc\ni really really like kasie west ' s writing . it ' s easy and quick to read , but doesn ' t feel just like fluff / brain candy . there ' s a depth and theme / lesson to her stories , which i appreciate . dax and autumn have a strong chemistry , and i enjoyed how dax helped autumn accept herself . i wish the ending wasn ' t as rushed . the whole book is building up to the romance , which is good , i liked the tension that resulted . it kept me reading . however , i felt everything just wrapped up in a few pages and i just\nthis is one the best stories on the second world war that is more light hearted than others . some of the world war books are very depression and graphic but this was only slightly so . this is an amzing book to read , especially in autumn and i feel it really captures the emotions of the world war and of france . this is set in france , both in the country side and paris . the characters mostly speak french which is translated , but there are french phrases scattered in there which i love . the whole am\nto clarify something : this is not a bookish romance . i know a lot of people got excited by the\ntrapped in the library\nteaser , but that setting is pretty irrelevant to the rest of the story . there ' s no indication the main character , autumn , even reads . dax , the cute , mysterious boy stuck in the library with her , does read . . . his own books . he brought his own books to the library . this book is about what you ' d expect from a kasie west book . it ' s a super clean ya contemporary romance with a happy ending . i have to say the\nbad boy who is only bad for righteous reasons\nis one of my least favorite tropes ever . but i wound up liking righteously - bad - boy dax quite a bit , and he was a much better character than the collective mess that were autumn ' s friends . you see , autumn ' s friends are the reason she spends an entire weekend locked in an under - heated library with barely enough food to eat and no tampons ( no , that didn ' t come up in the book , but , i mean , i ' m just sayin ' ) , because they drive off and leave her there . but don ' t worry ; they don ' t spend a nanosecond feeling guilty about it . the only one of her friends who seemed like a decent human being was jeff , her almost - boyfriend who spends most of the book in a coma . when autumn rejects him , he handles the situation with absolute class . i don ' t think this is west ' s best work , but it ' s an enjoyable , clean cut ya contemporary . i received a copy of this book to review courtesy of the publisher and edelweiss .\n* received in exchange for an honest review * * thank you , harper collins * i was so excited to start this book - i absolutely loved dinner with a vampire so was really looking forward to seeing how this story would develop . what i didn ' t expect was for the book to showcase the same events of book one but from autumn rose ' s point of view . i was a little hesitant at first but there is no repetition in the book ; it ' s all new and fresh and i loved this book even more than the first one ! autumn is a much more likeable character and i truly cared about what happened to her and and the royal family . even though this book doesn ' t lead to much progression with regards to the story , it is definitely a great read - truly captivating . i loved learning about the sagean community in this book . it was even more fascinating than the world of vampires in the last . i got so immersed in this community and was eager to learn how the events developed from autumn ' s point of view . it was a very emotional read and filled with so many * feels * moments . it was difficult to see autumn attempting to recover from her grandmother ' s death and coming to terms with her role as guardian at her school . she is responsible for ensuring that the students are safe from the extermino . autumn harbours a few secrets which are slowly revealed as the novel progresses . i really loved reading from her point of view ; everything seemed so much fresher and made for a much nicer read compared to that of violet ' s . it was definitely interesting to see the events unfolding which led to the revelation of violet lee in dinner with a vampire . i love that it has been written like this , but i hope that next bit progresses the story a little more . gibbs ' writing has developed immensely in this book with the world building being much cleaner and the language is more mature . the world that she creates is so captivating , i really couldn ' t put this book down . one of my most anticipated reads of 2014 and it definitely didn ' t disappoint . abigail gibbs is definitely a very talented lady and i ' m looking forward to reading more from her - bring on book three !\n3 , 5 sterne . band 2 bleibt leider ein wenig hinter dem auftakt zur\u00fcck . . . ich hatte eigentlich erwartet , dass es direkt mit violet weitergeht . wie geht es ihr nach dem ende ? mich bei autumn einzufinden hat aber nicht lange gedauert , sie ist sympathisch und die geschichte ist spannend . auch fallon wurde mir nach und nach sympathischer ( ebenso wie es bei kaspar der fall war ) . aber ich hatte das gef\u00fchl , dass die geschichte sich sehr ver\u00e4ndert , auch in ihrer erz\u00e4hlweise , als autumn und violett aufeinandertreffen und das hat mir nicht so sonderlich gefallen . alles in allem ein toller band zwei , der lust auf mehr macht .\ndo you suffer from any of the following conditions . please tick box for any conditions . if none , please tick ' none of the above ' box .\nfivescore years ago , a great american , in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the emancipation proclamation . this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice . it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity .\non the financial side world rugby has a conservative goal to make a financial surplus of around \u00a390m from the 2019 tournament , down from the record breaking \u00a3150m of 2015 , but a figure which takes into account the novel nature of the venture .\ni am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations . some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells . some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality . you have been the veterans of creative suffering . continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive . go back to mississippi , go back to alabama , go back to south carolina , go back to georgia , go back to louisiana , go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities , knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed . let us not wallow in the valley of despair .\n4 . 5 star review on the blog when i finished the dark heroine : dinner with a vampire about a year ago , it was left me speechless at the beginning and at the end ! since twilight i usually refrained from any books dealing with vampires . it was the cover and the fact that this author began this story at such a young age that captured my attention . violet lee and kaspar varn left me wondering so much . the story continues , however with a twist . violet and kaspar are no longer the center of the story , autumn and fallon are . i assumed the story would pick up right where it left off . i was wrong . i stayed away from early author interviews and blog posts , because i like the element of surprise . surprised i was , to find that autumn rose was the beginning of a new saga that would soon cross paths with violet lee . to my disappointment violet and kaspar are no where in sight until the very end . it\u2019s all about autumn rose . autumn is a sage . bound to guard the humans of the present day from the extermino . she tries very hard to appear to be your average student , in an everyday high school . deep down however , she isn\u2019t . she\u2019s royalty , she\u2019s a protector , a guardian with a mission . she is determined to save and protect those that she is destined to save . along the way she speaks to her grandmother who has died . she looks to her spirit and voice for direction in stressful times . wishing for answers to bring two worlds together . when i was 75 % finished with autumn rose i knew it would be a 4 tree review . however , the ending was a review changer for me . ms . gibbs truly hooked her readers in book 1 with violet\u2019s distressed story and final revelation . she did the same with autumn rose . she provided the reader with so much back story that it gave us a closer look of the settings and missions being presented . i hope my wait for book 3 will not be as long . it is truly exciting to see female protagonists grow and grow within a series . there are several minor characters that know have a story waiting to flow from the pen to paper . this series will continue to go far in so many ways . lastly , there are many questions left unanswered . for me , that is what makes amazing writing !"]}

johnson as an uncouth psychopath . when brad pitt played a similar part in\nthe 1967 detroit lions are as much the star of paper lion as alan alda , and do the best they can playing pranks on the actor , awkwardly singing their schools ' fight songs , and making sure the future hawkeye pierce doesn ' t get maimed . the filmmakers must have thought a feminine presence was needed , so lauren hutton is brought along to take a few snapshots , indulge in a second - unit montage catching a plane at jfk , and try to prove that alda is more masculine than at first glance . david doyle , the future bosley from charlie ' s angels , drops in to give alda a few suggestions on his next project . an uncredited but definitely recognizable roy scheider shows up to play a little touch football in the beginning .\nryan gilbey is the new statesman ' s film critic . he is also the author of it don ' t worry me ( faber ) , about 1970s us cinema , and a study of groundhog day in the\nmodern classics\nseries ( bfi publishing ) . he was named reviewer of the year in the 2007 press gazette awards and is film critic in residence at falmouth university .\nmost stories of adopted children searching for their biological parents spring from an \u201cemptiness\u201d , a feeling of \u201cnot belonging\u201d . lion , based on a true story , explores the void as not an absence of love but a presence that hollows out everything else . love fills every corner , every frame , every memory , as lion looks at the world , from the swamp of kolkata to the pristine seas of an australian island , through the eyes of a five -

office misfires , had neither the money nor the manpower needed to sustain an awards campaign , hollywood conventional wisdom held . and mr . weinstein\u2019s primary contender this time around , \u201c lion , \u201d an adoption drama set in india and based on an astonishing true story , was generating virtually no tastemaker buzz .\nthe lion king\nis the first disney animated feature not based on an existing story . in another sense , it is based on half the stories in classical mythology . it tells the tale of the birth , childhood and eventual manhood of simba , a lion cub . the cub ' s birth is announced in the opening sequence of the movie , called\nthe circle of life ,\nwhich is an evocative collaboration of music and animation to show all of the animals of the african veld gathering to hail their future king . the cute little cub is held aloft from a dramatic spur of rock , and all his future minions below hail him , in a staging that looks like the jungle equivalent of a political rally .\nthe famed slugger is played by bendix , who resembles ruth slightly in looks and not at all in baseball ability . the film traces the\nlife and times\nof ruth , including his famous\ncalled . . . see full summary \u00bb\n9 . danny\u2019s imaginary friend tony is only seen by him and gets closer and closer as the story unfolds in the book but in the film tony isn\u2019t seen at all and danny uses his little finger to identify his pal . super weird .\nin the book , lucy wants to stay with edmund to see him recover , but aslan tells her to go help the others before it is too late for them . in the film , edmund recovers quickly and lucy goes to help the others .\nin the film , doctor cornelius is arrested and thrown into prison by miraz after caspian ' s flight and is rescued by caspian during the attack on the castle . in the book , doctor cornelius escaped the castle shortly after helping caspian to flee .\n35 . there\u2019s also a black and white painting that john sees in the book that makes him think he\u2019s going to be damned but that doesn\u2019t appear in the film , just a black and white photo of party guests with jack in the middle .\nthat dichotomy comes to bear on the second half of the film , when saroo is older : a man in his 20s whose life has been largely comfortable , but who has a deepening yearning at his center . when at a party in melbourne , a sense memory triggers a recollection of his life in india , and saroo becomes determined to track down the family he lost . the remarkable thing about the real - life saroo is that he eventually found his hometown largely by using google maps , tracing train routes and distances until stumbling upon some topography he recognized . the trouble for lion as a movie is that none of this is terribly dynamic to watch . so davis , and the screenwriter luke davies , focus more on saroo\u2019s moodiness and internal struggle . his emotions are certainly warranted , but in the film , all this ( for lack of a better word ) moping , becomes repetitive .\nin the film , caspian forms an attraction to susan , which results in susan kissing caspian goodbye before the pevensies leave . in the book , however , caspian was never attracted to susan , nor did she ever kiss him for they only met briefly .\nin the film , all four pevensies leave their shoes on the beach and explore the cair paravel ruins barefoot after paddling . in the book , lucy and edmund are the only ones to go barefoot , and susan berates them into bringing their shoes with them .\nin the film , caspian meets all four of the pevensies before arriving at aslan ' s how . in the book , he only met peter and edmund at aslan ' s how and didn ' t meet susan and lucy until after the battle was over .\nin the book , eustace was unable to follow the dawn treader at sea until aslan changed him back from a dragon . in the film , eustace remains transformed until the end , and is curiously able to pull the ship when there ' s no wind .\nlike the 3 other movie adaptions of the lion , the witch , and the wardrobe , when edmund asks for more turkish delight . the white witch angrily snaps\nnoooooooooooooooo ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !\nat him , before she says\nno\ngently to him . in the books , she was content with edmund when he asked for more turkish delight and laughed .\ncoalitions of male lions usually fight as a group against territorial rivals , so a tiger may have an advantage in a one - on - one encounter , since this is the typical mode of combat for a tiger . however , a lion coalition of 2\u20133 males would have a clear advantage over a lone tiger . a group of 2\u20134 female lions would have a similar advantage over a lone tigress .\nbeverly hills , calif . \u2014 dev patel wanted the lead role in the forthcoming film \u201c lion \u201d so badly that he showed up at the los angeles home of the screenwriter luke davies in 2013 to plead for the part . from the moment the young actor heard of the project , he had been intrigued by its improbable story and conflicted hero . the director garth davis was there , too , and the three settled in over fresh ginger tea . but then mr . patel noticed a whiteboard covered in a blizzard of post - its . he looked at the notes . \u201ci was like , wait , you haven\u2019t done the script yet ? \u201d he said .\n6 . danny has a vision and sees basically everything that will happen in the book from \u2018redrum\u2019 to his dad and a mallet , but not the grady twins . in the film he only sees the twins and that famous flood of blood coming out the elevator .\ninsistent movie executives and his own love for martial arts \u2014 \u201ci\u2019m the biggest bruce lee fan , \u201d he said \u2014 led him to take a role in \u201cthe last airbender , \u201d an action fantasy film whose budget dwarfed that of \u201cslumdog . \u201d the movie was a\nunfortunate as it is to say about a movie largely about indian people , one of the most striking performances in the film belongs to nicole kidman , who plays saroo\u2019s adoptive mother . she has one scene in particular , in which she explains to saroo why she and her husband chose adoption , that is , beyond the teary reunion , the emotional centerpiece of the film . kidman just plays it so well , and it\u2019s so thoughtfully written . i\u2019ve no doubt the weinsteins have her performance primed and ready for a supporting - actress run .\nstill , the story of lion is pretty incredible , and it features a final reunion that , i think , would soften even the hardest of hearts . the film is shot beautifully by greig fraser , working in a kind of poetic realism . and it\u2019s got a host of strong performances . young sunny pawar , who plays saroo as a boy , is adorable , which , yes , may be a strange thing to say about a performance in a movie with such heavy subject matter , but what can you do . he\u2019s a cute little kid , and he instantly wins our sympathy and concern . adult saroo is played by dev patel , who works in a more somber tone than we\u2019re used to seeing from him . saroo is torn between homes , between lives , and patel effectively communicates that tension . but , again , the same beats get played over and over again . eventually you just want the film to hurry up and get saroo back to india .\nin the book , the children are waiting for the trains to take them to school at a country railway station , which is almost empty . in the film , they are on the crowded london underground , making it unclear how the four children could disappear without anyone noticing .\n19 . midway through the book danny goes in 217 , sees his odd double in the mirror and the old lady , and when john enters he sees a dry bath . midway through the film jack goes in 237 snogs the wet woman who then turns into a decomposing old body .\npatel , so often encouraged to be cutely na\u00efve , exudes all the right kinds of pain here , but also gives saroo a bitter , self - flagellating core which feels like an especially brave choice , in a role ( and film ) which infinitely improve on his breakthrough in slumdog millionaire .\nin the book , the ship is caught up in a violent storm for two weeks after departing narrowhaven and arrives at dragon ' s island badly damaged . in the film , the storm comes after departing magician ' s island and before arriving at goldwater island and no serious damage is caused .\nin the book , aslan appears to eustace at dragon ' s island , once at deathwater island and to lucy at coriakin ' s island . in the film , he only appears at the world ' s end outside a dream , implying that the green mist somehow prevented his communicating with them .\nin the book , caspian learns from lord bern that the slave traders have been allowed to operate without interference from the governor , gumpas , who sees the practice as unavoidable and necessary for the economy . in the film , caspian learns from bern that the slave traders have been making sacrifices to a green mist .\nbut few used the festival to better advantage than mr . weinstein , who is credited with inventing and perfecting the modern awards game , even if his oscar entrant last season , \u201ccarol , \u201d came up short . \u201clion , \u201d which stars dev patel , nicole kidman and rooney mara , had its premiere here on saturday \u2014 most major films , including \u201cjackie , \u201d had already been seen elsewhere \u2014 and generated a stream of euphoric responses from entertainment reporters and some critics .\nin the film , a page from the book of incantations tempts lucy by showing her as the exact image of susan ; in the book she imagined her beauty surpassing susan ' s . she also harmfully used a spell to spy on her friends , but in the movie she uses a harmless spell to make it snow indoors .\nthrough the course of the 1960s , alan alda made significant strides in pursuing the stage profession of his father robert , carving himself a niche as one of broadway ' s most engaging and in - demand performers . with one film appearance under his belt , he landed the lead in the feature adaptation of george plimpton ' s popular memoir\nstill , it isn\u2019t quite satisfying . the transition from the young to the grown - up saroo demands a shift in tone and genre that \u201clion\u201d doesn\u2019t quite achieve . what felt in the first part like wonderful , spielbergian simplicity feels , in the latter sections , like simplification . there isn\u2019t enough of the rough texture of family life or the complications of young love to give the older saroo a full identity . the movie hovers on the edge of going deeper into his psychological predicament but holds itself back .\nwhile rooney mara has a fairly limited function as saroo\u2019s girlfriend , kidman enriches the film enormously . it\u2019s a sterling , supportive performance . the script never lunges for cheap drama by forcing saroo into a binary choice between mothers , and the most complex beats are about tip - toeing around , often counter - productively , to avoid hurt or betrayal .\nthe geography has been drastically changed for the film , resulting in some of the islands being visited in a different order than they were in the book . in the book , dark island came before ramandu ' s island ; dragon island and goldwater island were two separate islands , neither were volcanic and both were visited before coriakin ' s island ."]}

mash of scenes , with characters doing lines , snorting , shooting up , shooting at and so on . and on .\ncharlie kay chakkar mein tries hard to come across as a dark tale from the by lanes of mumbai but unfortunately it sticks to something which is already seen . there are multiple story lines and after a point it is ridiculous to expect the audience to maintain its attention . in an attempt to come across as a dark drama , the film turns out only smoke and no fire . the makers introduce a multiple characters like an anurag kashyap film but fail to do justice to them . not all stories are ended properly and the incomplete thread leaves you a little confused .\nthe uncensored version of the title song of charlie kay chakkar mein could land the makers in trouble , for it\u2019s too hot to handle ! the song , nicknamed let\u2019s play boy , features hottie elena roxana maria fernandes who makes the temperatures soar with her act . the song\u2019s visuals are hot and play on your senses , and for those interested , it has some double meaning lyrics as well ( in the uncensored version ) , including \u2018who the f * * k is charlier ? \u2019 and \u2018it\u2019s a catch 69 situation\u2019 . in fact , # whothefischarlie is trending on twitter .\ndirector manish srivastav manages to create a decent amount of mystery around the plot but fails because of the knack to handle multiple sub - plots . there is a cliched representation of the gangsters and i could\u2019ve really loved to see something new . the concept of homicides and it\u2019s footage was quite a killer one but sadly it does not develop further into a nail - biting affair . the lighting is kept quite predictably dark in the film . surprisingly , the director does not at all play with the background score and i find it amusing . crime thrillers need a certain amount of music to keep them steady and charlie kay chakkar mein misses that .\nin the title track , anand is seen in the charlie chaplin avatar but unlike the character\u2019s usual funny side , anand explores a funny but mean side .\nthe story of charlie kay chakkar mein starts inversely with each new twist unfolding at the most unexpected time . it is a story of three different characters and mainly deals with the nature of truth . what happens when addl . commissioner of police , sanket pujari ( naseeruddin shah ) is assigned an unusual case of multiple homicides . an interesting twist is the fact that they have been caught on camera . what lies as the biggest task on the shoulders of pujari is identifying the nature of truth in this tale . the difference between what the eyes can see and what the actual truth is . considering that suspense forms a key in the story , it would be best not to give any spoilers about this tale !\nfilm ' charlie kay chakkar mein ' , an investigative thriller produced by karan arora under banner ' picture thoughts production ' , directed by manish srivastav starring naseeruddin shah , amit sial , anand tiwari , subrat dutta , auroshikha dey and manasi rachh is slated to release on 6th november this year . producer \u2013 karan arora director \u2013 manish srivastav writers \u2013 manish srivastav and amit sial co producers \u2013 manish srivastav and amit sial executive producers \u2013 mayur srivastva , amitabh aurora associate producer \u2013 chintan kapadia cinematographer -

- the first gives us an idea about the crime and the other half is the investigation . a bunch of youngsters ( amit sial , anand tiwari , manasi rachh , disha arora , aanchal nandrajog and nishant lal ) , who are high on some \u2018charlie\u2019 ( cocaine ) get into a brawl with a young man ( sanam singh ) at a club and kill him accidentally .\na big delivery of \u2018charlie\u2019 is hijacked , and the \u2018bhai -

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

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

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

hollywood co - production starring worldwide star matt damon , the great wall has been a bit of a lightening rod for controversy . the main point of contention \u2014 a white star playing the hero of china \u2014 has been front and center leading up to the movie ' s american release , and in interview after interview , damon has defended the movie against accusations of whitewashing and of perpetuating a white savior narrative . there ' s very little credible defense there \u2014 the idea of a white man protecting the chinese is an extremely frustrating and offensive storyline . yet while the great wall ' s white savior narrative is undoubtedly problematic , the film actually succeeds in providing unprecedented visibility to an asian cast in hollywood .\nnone of this is to suggest that the film is exactly racist . sebastian romanticizes parker simply because he lived and died before jazz started to change for the first time . but it\u2019s impossible to separate jazz from black history , and it\u2019s downright foolish to do so in a film by , for and largely about white people . it\u2019s especially dangerous right now . geoff nelson at paste magazine links the film\u2019s traditionalism and the satisfaction derived from its nostalgia to the trump campaign\u2019s backwards -

making to introduce chinese culture . \u201d\nlooking at the film through a hollywood lens , dismissing the great wall because it stars damon as a savior of china is not entirely beneficial , nor is it fair . the great wall ' s white savior tendencies are troubling , yes , but there ' s no denying the fact that the film is the most asian - filled potential hollywood blockbuster made in years . damon , pascal , and supporting star william dafoe , are the only non - chinese people seen onscreen . and in a movie that features hundreds of extras in any given shot , that means something .\nthat began to change when a deadly rampage by a rogue great white shark on swimmers along the new jersey shoreline and in a nearby creek during the summer of 1916 \u2014 attacks that helped inspire\njaws ,\nburgess noted .\nstupid yet somehow enjoyable mess that rips off not only jaws but it ' s sequel too ! universal pictures banned the film from being released in us theaters for being such a blatent pilferage but if they were smart or at least had a sense of humor they should have let it go since all it really does is make the spielberg film look even better . shark enthusiasts will find alot to laugh at also as the great white ' s stand - ins are stock footage of everything froma a mako to a white tip shark to even a shot of a bottle - nosed dolphin .\nthe great wall is also not the first chinese production fronted by a white star : christian bale led the 2011 war drama the flowers of war ; adrien brody and john cusack faced off alongside jackie chan in 2015\u2019s dragon blade ; while joseph fiennes recently stopped by the cannes film festival to tout his performance in china\u2019s unofficial sequel to chariots of fire .\nyet while great white undoubtedly steals heavily from jaws , universal\u2019s actions , however understandable , seem a bit extreme . bad artists copy , great artists steal , goes a line widely ( though inaccurately ) attributed to pablo picasso . there\u2019s no mistaking great white for great art , nor does it pretend to be . at one point a tv producer tells a crew member , who\u2019s despairing that his footage of an attack isn\u2019t good enough , \u201cuse a little stock footage . nobody\u2019ll know the difference . \u201d within a minute , the film itself cuts to not - so - convincing shark footage that doesn\u2019t match the rest of the film . then there\u2019s the shark itself , brought to life , sort of , via a combination of underwater shots of real sharks , barely mobile miniatures , and a life - sized model that seems capable of doing little but popping up alongside boats and making roaring noises as if trying to frighten his victims to death .\nin reality , some large shark species certainly do attack humans - about 10 people a year are killed , usually by great white , bull and tiger sharks . rarely though are the victims actually eaten - often they die from trauma .\ni was there to film . i got the opportunity . the chances of that actually happening are one in a million , so i took that opportunity and did my best to keep my hand steady , and capture it on film .\nwhen\njaws\nburst onto movie screens on june 20 , 1975 , the film shocked audiences with a terrifying monster .\na chorus of outrage followed the release on thursday of the first trailer for the great wall , a fantasy adventure set in china more than 1 , 000 years ago , which stars the white hollywood star matt damon in the lead role .\nand research by biologist dr julia baum suggests that between 1986 and 2000 , in the northwest atlantic ocean , there was a population decline of 89 % in hammerhead sharks , 79 % in great white sharks and 65 % in tiger sharks .\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\nthe fire at the station club in west warwick , rhode island broke out when the band\u2019s pyrotechnics display ignited flammable soundproofing foam installed in the venue . over 200 people were injured , with great white guitarist ty longley being among the 100 fatalities .\njaws was a turning point for great white sharks ,\nsays oliver crimmen , who ' s been the fish curator at the natural history museum in london for more than 40 years .\ni actually saw a big change happen in the public and scientific perception of sharks when peter benchley ' s book jaws was published and then subsequently made into a film .\nsince the beginning of the film roper is clearly not in the physical shape an experienced professional heavyweight boxer has to be in .\n( a . k . a . the last shark ; italian : l ' ultimo squalo ) is a 1981 italian horror film directed by enzo g . castellari and starring james franciscus and vic morrow . the film is extremely similar to steven spielberg ' s\nthe years have done little to make great white look less like a jaws rip - off . if anything , its inspiration\u2019s longevity and iconic status has only underscored the similarities . great white opens with teens on a beach , one of whom becomes a great white shark\u2019s first human meal , and it ends with an exploding shark . in between , we get : a self - serving politician ( joshua sinclair ) who insists a beach event must go on despite the dangers of shark attacks ; underwater footage from the shark\u2019s point of view ; and\u2014to add a dash of jaws 2 to the mix\u2014some dumb teens recklessly putting their lives in danger . universal\u2019s suit offers even more details , with point - by - point examples of similarities that include :\nbut the poster alone has sparked an outcry that the film\u2019s creators should have seen coming from 5 , 500 miles away\u2014especially given all the recent attention paid to the industry\u2019s lack of diversity in front of and behind the camera . the great wall is now the most dramatic example of whitewashing : though it\u2019s rooted in chinese history and culture , and is made by a chinese director and studio , the film is already relying solely on the face of a well - known white american actor to sell its story .\non march 5 , 1982 , film ventures international released a killer - shark movie called great white to 300 north american theaters in southern california , texas , louisiana , and michigan , with a plan to expand to hundreds more across north american . though audiences showed up to the tune of $ 3 million , that plan didn\u2019t work out . one month prior to the film\u2019s north american debut , universal studios filed a civil - action suit complaining of copyright infringement against the films jaws and jaws 2 . on april 22 , u . s . district judge david kenyon issued a preliminary injunction against the film , putting a halt to any expansion plans and prompting universal to demand it be pulled from theaters . universal\u2019s efforts expanded around the globe , bringing similar suits in france , belgium , great britain , and australia , effectively making the film disappear from all but memory in most of the world .\nvideo captures the moment that they slowly approach the shark in the shallow waters ( pictured , pearson in front of the great white shark ) . the two assumed it had been caught in a gill net before noticing two huge propeller wounds on its back\nmany scientists now believe that great white sharks are intelligent , highly inquisitive creatures . when great whites gather , they seem to show different behaviors , from open - mouthed gaping at one another to assertive body - slams . these sharks are top predators throughout the world ' s ocean , predominantly in temperate and subtropical waters . great whites migrate long distances . some make journeys from the hawaiian islands to california , and one shark that swam from south africa to australia made the longest recorded migration of any fish .\n\u201cremember , it\u2019s not about blaming individuals . . . rather , it\u2019s about pointing out the repeatedly implied racist notion that white people are superior to poc [ people of color ] and that poc need salvation from our own color via white strength . \u201d\nanother item from the suit could define understatement : \u201cthe salty skippers , both of whom have heavy english - type accents and are experienced shark hunters , are substantially similar . \u201d in great white , vic morrow essentially does a movie - length impression of robert shaw\u2019s performance as quint in jaws . from the unkempt mustache and white turtleneck down , it\u2019s an uncanny piece of imitation .\nat first i was quite excited . i thought , great , this is what i came for ,\nhe said .\ndisney won an honorary academy award for his pioneering achievement , while the music for the film , featuring snow white\u2019s famous ballad , \u201csome day my prince will come\u201d and other songs by frank churchill , larry morey , paul j . smith and leigh harline , was also nominated for an oscar . the studio re - released snow white for the first time in 1944 , during world war ii ; thereafter , it was released repeatedly every decade or so , a pattern that became a tradition for disney\u2019s animated films . for its 50th anniversary in 1987 , snow white was restored , but cropped into a wide - screen format , a choice that irked some critics . disney released a more complete digital restoration of the film in 1993 . its power continues to endure : in june 2008 , more than 60 years after its u . s . release , the american film institute chose snow white and the seven dwarfs as the no . 1 animated film of all time in its listing of \u201camerica\u2019s 10 greatest films in 10 classic genres . \u201d\nwalt disney\u2019s decision to make snow white , which was the first animated feature to be produced in english and in technicolor , flew in the face of the popular wisdom at the time . naysayers , including his wife lillian , warned him that audiences , especially adults , wouldn\u2019t sit through a feature - length cartoon fantasy about dwarfs . but disney put his future on the line , borrowing most of the $ 1 . 5 million that he used to make the film . snow white premiered in hollywood on december 21 , 1937 , earning a standing ovation from the star - studded crowd . when it was released to the public the following february , the film quickly grossed $ 8 million , a staggering sum during the great depression and the most made by any film up to that time .\nbut brazen might not be a strong enough word to describe great white , which has stuck around despite universal\u2019s attempts to turn it into an un - movie . great white played to some success in italy\u2014home to its prolific director , enzo g . castellari\u2014and elsewhere , under titles like the last shark and , most flagrantly , the last jaws . it soon became available via bootlegs in the u . s . , though the injunction stood as late as 2008 , when los angeles\u2019 new beverly theater attempted to screen it on a double bill with another of castellari\u2019s films , the inglorious bastards , the italian world war ii movie that inspired the quentin tarantino film of the same name , though not quite the same spelling . more recently , great white has quietly surfaced legally via amazon , where viewers can stream it and buy it digitally , and less officially on youtube , where a user has uploaded the entire feature .\nthere\u2019s something deeply perverse about seeing beyonc\u00e9\u2019s groundbreaking work of black female historical reclamation appropriated by two white actresses in 1860s southern dress . but it\u2019s perfectly in keeping with the attitude of the film , in which black people barely merit mention . while the film\u2019s production design and costumes evince a commitment to authenticity , the movie itself has no interest in the people on whose backs that lavish lifestyle was built .\nbut many more were surprised and disappointed that the film , set about 1 , 000 years ago , starred white american actor matt damon . in a lengthy tweet posted one day after the trailer debut , fresh off the boat star constance wu criticized the project for \u201cperpetuating the racist myth that only a white man can save the world\u201d and wrote , \u201cour heroes don\u2019t look like matt damon . \u201d\nalthough it ' s probably terrifying to imagine a mammoth great white shark swimming in shallow waters in the dark of night with its mouth wide open ( it ' s enough to make you think twice about that midnight skinny dip ! ) , this might actually be the safest time to swim with one of these apex predators . though the shark continued to swim , it seemed to be in a catatonic state , as if hypnotized . researchers believe that this is what a great white looks like when it ' s sleeping .\nand the great wall director , zhang yimou ( house of flying daggers ) appears to share my attitude . in an interview with entertainment weekly , he described the film ' s american - china co - production style as\nusing hollywood filmmaking to introduce chinese culture\n. on this point , it ' s fair to say that the great wall succeeds , and one can only hope that the film encourages hollywood to keep exploring asian stories . it may not be much , but it ' s something , and that counts with me .\nthe great wall - in theaters this february official trailer - urltoken starring global superstar matt damon and directed by one of the most breathtaking visual stylists of our time , zhang yimou ( hero , house of flying daggers ) , legendary\u2019s the great wall tells the story of an elite force making a valiant stand for humanity on the world\u2019s most iconic structure . the first english - language production for yimou is the largest film ever shot entirely in china . the great wall also stars jing tian , pedro pascal , willem dafoe and andy lau .\nthe screenplay for this film was featured in the 2014 blacklist , a list of the\nmost liked\nunmade scripts of the year .\nmany earlier attempts to film the mahatma\u2019s life had come to nought , from dw griffiths to david lean and emeric pressburger . attenborough\u2019s gandhi epic took 20 years in the planning , as attenborough recounts in his book about the making of the film , which also appeared in 1982 .\nthe film follows a classic hollywood biopic structure and contributed to the british \u201craj revival\u201d that was part of thatcherite britain\u2019s reassessment of history in the 1980s , although attenborough film\u2019s is critical of the imperial venture . as one would expect , the film was aimed squarely at a global audience rather than a specifically indian one , with much prominence given to several non - indian figures , including mountbatten , mirabehn ( madeleine slade ) and the photojournalist , margaret bourke - white . key protagonists such as annie besant , rabindranath tagore , aurobindo and ambedkar are absent .\nafter a profitable international run , montoro bought the u . s . distribution rights to l\u2019ultimo squalo , rechristened it great white and sunk $ 4 million into advertising its march 1982 theatrical release . the film was an immediate hit , and was set to expand nationwide when universal pictures filed a lawsuit claiming castellari\u2019s picture plagiarized jaws . though montoro had been through this before with beyond the door , and knew how difficult it was to prove copyright infringement , this time the similarities were too numerous to avoid an injunction . on april 22 , 1982 , a california district court decided in favor of universal , and all prints of great white were removed from u . s . theaters .\nalthough pretending that you could be devoured by a great white shark at any moment was a hard task to accomplish \u2015 especially when said shark was just a prop rock on set \u2015 holt said she knew she wanted to be in the thriller immediately after reading the script .\nkingsley\u2019s portrayal of gandhi was extraordinary as he came across as human , warm and funny , even though his saintliness overcomes strange features of personality . kingsley\u2019s superb performance made him the embodiment of the freedom movement , the indian nation , and in this western film , the idea of indianness , who dominates the entire film which despite its clear inaccuracies is a great biopic with magnificent set - pieces such as the salt march .\n\u201cthe slaves left . \u201d in three words , sofia coppola\u2019s new film the beguiled casually dispenses with one of the great shames of the american republic . coppola\u2019s film is an elegant southern gothic tale of masculine charms and feminine vengeance , completely stripped of its historical and racial context . while not every period genre picture need grapple with the \u201c peculiar institution , \u201d this is a film set during the civil war , unfolding between southern women and a northern soldier , and it goes so far as to cut both black characters from the novel upon which it was based .\n\u201cwhy do you think it was so nice to see a nerdy white kid have a girl fall in love with him ? because you were that nerdy white kid who felt unloved . and seeing pictures of it in hollywood\u2019s stories made it feel possible , \u201d she wrote .\nthe great wall may well represent the next step in hollywood economics : a film made by one of the country\u2019s greatest directors ( zhang yimou ) , shot on location in china and telling a story about the northern song dynasty , while starring one of hollywood\u2019s biggest names . the great wall , with a budget of $ 135 million , is the most expensive chinese film ever made . as china becomes a bigger and bigger part of the overall box - office market , it makes sense that hollywood would produce more films designed to appeal directly to the country\u2019s audiences .\ndespite montoro\u2019s highly questionable business practices , fvi was fast turning into one of the most successful film distribution companies in america . their brand was exploitation ( particularly horror and martial arts flicks ) , but if the company had a signature type of film , it was the animals - run - amok subgenre ; grizzly was the company\u2019s biggest hit , and the goofy eco - horror throwdown day of the animals wasn\u2019t far behind . but montoro was hunting bigger game . he wanted to hook the most feared / profitable cinematic beast of them all : the great white shark .\nan enormous and angry 35 foot great white shark takes revenge on humans when they build a beach just for swimmers by a coastal town . after several shark attacks , and the mayor does nothing to stop it , james franisscus and vic morrow sail in pursuit to stop it .\nmost of these criticisms come with an admission that la la land is , on its surface , great entertainment . the snappy songs , brightly colored clothes and the virtuosic film - making are diverting enough that the film\u2019s persistence in entertaining you is emotionally moving . for the millions of americans who are depressed and anxious about the state of the nation , la la land is a trifle that seems more substantial because of our desperate need for distraction .\nvery little was known about the predators . after the film ' s release , interest in sharks skyrocketed , resulting in increased funding for shark research .\nin many ways the great wall is the opposite of what is being suggested . for the first time , a film deeply rooted in chinese culture , with one of the largest chinese casts ever assembled , is being made at tent pole scale for a world audience . i believe that is a trend that should be embraced by our industry . our film is not about the construction of the great wall . matt damon is not playing a role that was originally conceived for a chinese actor . the arrival of his character in our story is an important plot point . there are five major heroes in our story and he is one of them \u2014 the other four are all chinese . the collective struggle and sacrifice of these heroes are the emotional heart of our film . as the director of over 20 chinese language films and the beijing olympics , i have not and will not cast a film in a way that was untrue to my artistic vision . i hope when everyone sees the film and is armed with the facts they will agree .\nthe 2016 novel tells the story of a black nurse who is prosecuted after a white supremacist couple ' s infant dies from a heart attack .\nit seems likely that the film is entitled\nthe great wall\nbecause they couldn ' t have called the film\ngreat\nin reference to the acting . damon ' s occasionally - heard irish brogue leaves one with the occasional impression that his character is meant to be irish - - although that would be entirely unnecessary to the plot . then again , it is equally plausible that the character is meant to be an impostor of limited impersonation skills infiltrating the chinese army . whatever the reason may be ,\nthe great wall\nis little more than a silly , two - dimensional diversion for teenage boys . the good cgi and frequent battle carnage should be enough to satisfy that target audience , even if it satisfies few others .\n( the great wall ) doesn ' t prove how much china can spend on a movie , it proves how much china can waste on one .\nfor those of you who are interested in actually seeing this\ngreat white\nflick , it was released on dvd not too long ago and i ' ve heard there ' s a blu -

rating gives way to some surprisingly grisly bursts of gore , as she tries to suture her wounds with makeshift surgical tools , and a couple of brutal attack scenes . the film makes the most of a small cast , and blake lively carries the film almost entirely herself , spending at least two thirds of the film completely isolated . well , she ' s not completely alone , she also has steven\nsully\nseagull , as himself .\nitalian rip -

so effects . considering that the film is low budget , they ' re not that bad , but in many shot you can clearly see that the shark is fake , but it adds to the cheesy , good entertainment value that this film offers . i really liked the film , but it was just a decent picture overall and it was fun . if you take this film too seriously , you ' re surely not going to enjoy this , however keep an open mind about it and you may appreciate its sheer lack of originality . don ' t expect anything great with this film , except for a mindless good time . i enjoyed the sheer stupidity of this flick and some genre fans will probably enjoy that as well . enzo g castellari ' s direction is good and he ' s able to create an effectively fun and entertaining rip - off that actually does provide some dumb fun . the lost shark is exactly what makes a cheesy horror film worth seeing . despite its flaws , and it boasts more than its air share , it is a film to enjoy with friends . the special effects are so over the top bad , and pretty that you ' re just going to walk away from this one entertained and enjoying yourself . this is as good as b movies get , and as an italian flick as well it succeeds on many levels despite its imperfections . a decent killer creature flick that you cannot take seriously .\nchris hemsworth kicks off filming for the star -

the goal of nerv and etc . was the human instrumentality project . why go through the effort of killing fifteen angels ? and even if you could say they had to establish peace for the moment to go ahead with the project , that just makes the entire plot of the angels a waste . so what was the point ?\nshape - shifting : angels are capable of altering their true angelic appearance , making themselves look like humans ( hiding their large wings ) .\nmagnificent coding mom : ginny martin is still in lincoln after graduating from a san francisco code school boot camp last spring . she is loving up her kids and exploring job opportunities ( here and out west ) and continuing to mentor other would - be coders . java !\nand even though satan has the effrontery to enter god ' s presence with the other angels ( sons ) he does so to\naccuse\ngod ' s people . however , you will notice that satan can do no more than god allows him to do .\nand the lord said to satan ,\nbehold , all that he has is in your power , only do not lay a hand upon his person\nit is also noted by whis that there used to be 18 universes , which means there should at least be 6 more angels in the series . this could either mean that the angels could have been erased along with their universe or that without a position to fill , they fell dormant .\nthere was clearly some need to delay enacting third impact and instrumentality until after the final angel was dispatched , probably at the order of the dead sea scrolls ( which is never explained ) , otherwise nerv / seele would have simply commenced it as soon as they had the lance ( adam , lilith and rei were already in their possession ) . for some reason , instrumentality was only likely to work if there were no other angels alive to prevent it .\nangels : the truth about gabriel , michael & raphael . lucifer , angelic beings : archangels . cherubim . powers . seraphim . thrones , dominions . beasts .\n\u0097that ancient serpent called the devil , or satan , who leads the whole world astray . he was hurled to the earth , and his angels with him .\nangels do not have corporal bodies but they can manifest themselves in human form . an example of this is seen in the account of lot regarding sodom and gomorrah\non december 8 , 2017 , toyotaro posted a concept art of two angels , but he stated they aren ' t official to the series .

( this from monday\u2019s paper : \u201cthe woman was walking south in the crosswalk on 11th street when she was hit by a dodge durango turning east onto k street . \u201d )\nthe angels act as mirrors or reflectors reminding us of our true heritage as perfect light beings . these reflections are messages that , when adhere to , can raise human consciousness .\nthe angels nerv fought were the children of adam , who sort to instigate the third impact to reclaim earth back from the children of lilith , the lilin ( humans ) .\ngabriel is sometimes depicted as a male , and at other times as a female archangel . for simplicity , however , i will just use the masculine pronoun when describing him here . gabriel is the communication angel , and we can call upon him whenever we need help with writing or speaking . clairvoyants often see him as a copper colored light .\ni can ' t believe i ' m saying this , but i just cannot get into this book . i ' ve been plugging away for days and days , i ' m only like 1 / 3 of the way through , and i am just not interested . this doesn ' t seem as fun as the other walsh family books .\nits adherents often use christian terminology such as\nguardian angels\nto describe consultation with the dead or evil spirits . the angels they are referring to , were until recent years , called\nspirit guides\nor\nfamiliar spirits\nand are clearly demonic , pagan and occult in origin . in an attempt to clear up this confusion for christians is the reason for this article . i hope that it will spread some light on the reality and truth of god ' s holy angels whose role is to minister to god and his people .\nit is comforting to know whom and what you have working on your side . angels and christians are partners and allies in the spiritual warfare in which we find ourselves . they assist us to dislodge satan from his stronghold in the world . when intercessors come together and prayer prevails it brings powerful angels to aid and assist us to hinder the workings of satan (\nin dragon ball z : resurrection \u2018f\u2019 and dragon ball super anime , the angels of hell are a group of angels that watch over frieza in hell . presumably they serve under king yemma or at least he has some authority over them as he is able to give permission to goku to travel to hell in order the recruit frieza for the tournament of power .\nwe\u2019ve had a lot of questions over the past few weeks about what the new codex means for some of the galaxy\u2019s less \u201cby the book\u201d chapters \u2013 specifically , forces like the noble blood angels , the stoic dark angels and the ferocious space wolves . here\u2019s what you need to know , if your space marines force is made of warriors from one of these chapters :\ndemon / hell - forged weapons : these weapons are able to injure and kill angels . in\ntake me back to hell\n, amenadiel is fatally injured by a demon knife .\nthe angels also achieve one of anno ' s goals of telling us that , well , humans are even worse . the fact that the angels are actually just acting on instinct\u2014the instinct to return to lilith\u2014and not actually destructive ( with a couple exceptions ) shows us that humans are really the strongest villains in the series . ( a nice bit of grey area there . )\ni consider angels the best book marian keyes has ever written ( although i havent yet read all her books ) . maggie is clearly the most sympathetic of the walsh - sisters . i also think that angels deals with wider themes . maggie ' s problem isnt really low self - esteem , like claire ' s and rachel ' s . she\u2019s somehow a deeper character . i also liked the plot . in angels marian keyes is more entertaining than ever . i really laughed , especially when maggie\u2019s family came to la to visit her . the walsh family seems\n\u201cwe want to thank everyone who has helped us with everything . we couldn\u2019t have done this without all of you , \u201d christine wrote . \u201cyou are all angels somewhere out there . \u201d\nflaming sword : the flaming sword ( and its component azrael ' s blade ) can eradicate angels . the angel would be permanently gone , no heaven nor hell , and cannot be resurrected .\nso , to answer your question : no , the angels weren ' t strictly necessary . but the plot points they drove and the scenarios they created were critically important parts of the series .\ntheir white hair , occasionally puffed sleeves and pastel skin gives them a striking resemblance to the supreme kais as well , giving angels a strong visual link to all factions of the godly establishment .\nwhen we read revelations chapters 2 and 3 , we can see this clearly :\nto the presiding spirit of the church in ephesus\n. the\npresiding spirit\n= literally ; angels .\ndespite their subservient nature to the gods of destruction and supreme kais , they hold a designation above that of the gods , as zeno spared the angels from being erased in the tournament of power .\nthe sword of gilead .\nis an avenging angel revealed to eddie russell in 1990 . read more about him in the new book : the sword of gilead & the book of angels below .\nalong with the word of god , the power , and the gifts of the holy spirit working on our behalf , we also have countless millions of angels at our disposal in the same way that jesus did when he was arrested in gethsemane . . . .\ndo you not suppose that i can call on my father to provide at a moment ' s notice more than twelve legions of angels\nand it is this encounter that dominates our christmas celebration . however , appearances of the angels are usually brief and formal . they are aimed at improving our relationship with the lord rather than attracting attention to themselves\nit becomes clear ; satan is not an equal and opposite of god as claimed by many ! just like all the other angels he was created by god and therefore by definition , he is not god . satan is a creature and therefore he is subject to god like all else in heaven and earth and he has no more rights or power than god allows . popular ( new age ) thought adopts the concept of yin and yang and believe this to be perfect balance and harmony . however , it is self evident that this is erroneous thinking ; even the law of physics testifies to this in that darkness is merely and absence of light , and therefore , unlike light dispelling darkness , darkness cannot enter light nor extinguish it . the only outcome of the war between good and evil in this thinking is perpetual war due to the neutralizing of this equality . hence there will never be peace with a yin and yang concept or any other new age or occult philosophy , but , it does keep us entertained and hollywood in business .\nit ' s a shame marian keyes is marketed as an author of fluff because most of her books explore women ' s lives and traumas with warmth and humour . the only reason this gets 3 instead of 5 stars is my brain automatically rejects any book set in hollywood where the majority of characters are not sociopaths trying to out - sociopath each other in a kafkaesque dystopia . ( only with more money and narcissism )\nunfortunately , just like all the good angels , the evil ones and the devil himself have also been relegated to the area of myth by many christians whilst the non - believers are very much aware of his reality .\ni would recommend reading any of marian keyes books . angels is no exception . it ' s fun , irreverent , witty and tells a few home truths in marian keye ' s typical dry , irish and magnificent way .\nangels are a reference to heavenly beings or messengers . call them\nagents\nif you will . they serve on inner planes of reality to create protective force - fields around human beings who request such protection . they also reflect the quality of true perfection ( our real inheritance ) of soul to the consciousness to inspire them to align themselves with that perfection of the source of all life . note : the angels are not to be confused with\nguides\n.\nseele couldn ' t let adam ' s children instigate the third impact because then they couldn ' t control it themselves so destroying the angels as they appeared was needed to ensure that seele ' s could execute their plans without interference .\nif we ever think of the angels at all it would probably be around christmas time when hymns and carols seem full of their presence . in many homes , shopping centres and city malls around the world you will find a christmas tree topped by a star or by a plastic angel . but how often do we consider these magnificent creatures at other times of the year ? at this special time of year even non - believers get caught up with the warmth of love and friendship and somehow we know that there is something more going on than plastic angels and booze . none - the - less , it ' s a pity that the angelic is a subject that is rarely talked about , thought of or taught in catholic circles in recent times and yet there is a wealth of spiritual assistance available to every christian in the body of christ who are surrounded at all times by a great cloud of witnesses ( heb . 12 : 1 ) .\nbrookner gives another twist to the question of what it means to enjoy freedom when zo\u00eb & apos ; s mother collapses into a grave but mysterious illness , leaving her daughter to ponder the possibility of returning to a life confined to the bell jar of her parent & apos ; s helplessness and passivity . & apos ; & apos ; we should keep each other company , as if this had always been intended , & apos ; & apos ; she imagines . & apos ; & apos ; no word of love , other than our own , would be there to lend support . . . . our fate seemed ineluctable . & apos ; & apos ; this possibility is removed by another twist in the plot , but while zo\u00eb is freed from a life fettered to her mother & apos ; s needs , she is left profoundly alone in the world . freedom from attachment , the novel suggests , is no freedom at all .\nnevertheless , the angels do seem to have limits as to how far they are willing to push the nerves of the deities they work alongside and serve , as whis has been seen sweating nervously some times when beerus looked at him seriously and noted that no one should annoy and / or anger a god of destruction , zeno , future zeno , or the grand minister , not even an angel like him . although angels are never afraid to take action , especially when subduing their gods of destruction .\nin the manga , whenever the angels are in zeno ' s presence ( except the grand minister ) , they would give their respects to the deity by bowing their heads , putting their right fist to the ground and kneeling with their right knee .\nthese are the highest order or choir of angels . they are the angels who are attendants or guardians before god ' s throne . they praise god , calling ,\nholy holy holy is the lord of hosts\n. the only bible reference is isaiah 6 : 1 - 7 . one of them touched isaiah ' s lips with a live coal from the altar , cleansing him from sin . seraphim have six wings , two cover their faces , two cover their feet , and two are for flying .\narchangels are generally taken to mean\nchief or leading angel\n( jude 9 ; 1 thes 4 : 16 ) , they are the most frequently mentioned throughout the bible . they may be of this or other hierarchies as st . michael archangel , who is a princely seraph . the archangels have a unique role as god ' s messenger to the people at critical times in history and salvation ( tb 12 : 6 , 15 ; jn 5 : 4 ; rv 12 : 7 - 9 ) as in the annunciation and apocalypse . a feast day celebrating the archangels michael , gabriel and raphael is celebrated throughout the church sep 29 . a special part of the byzantine liturgy invokes the\ncherubic hymn\nwhich celebrates these archangels and the guardian angels particularly .\nit stands to reason that if god is for us everything that is of god is for us too . we are never alone as much as we may think that we are . god ' s angels are ever present to help us in all that we do .\ninvulnerability : angels have been shown to be immune to to earthly damage and cannot be killed by anything that could kill a mortal . however , for an unknown reason , lucifer becomes mortal when around detective chloe decker . when away from her , his invulnerability returns .\n( although non catholics do not accept this book as canon of scripture , the book of tobit is a magnificent insight into the role of angels that was richly expressed in hebrew angelology and belief . the catholic church accepts tobit as part of the canon of scripture ) .\nthe angels possess unfathomable might , having power beyond the gods of destruction and creation skills similar to the supreme kais . so far , they have shown an assortment of mystical abilities , such as warping , magic materialization , divination , healing , resurrection and space - time manipulation .\n\u201coutlaws & angels\u201d puts any disappointment felt about quentin tarantino \u2019s recent , bloated western \u201c the hateful eight \u201d into perspective . this western too focuses on a group of morally grotesque folk spending most of their time under one roof , while encountering pain as means for revenge , as distinctly shot on film . but the difference between tarantino and his endless imitators has always proved vast , especially when a budding filmmaker cribs his style to shallow results . a movie hopped up on the period piece sadism within tarantino\u2019s regurgitation cinema , \u201coutlaws & angels\u201d gravely mistakes tarantino\u2019s audaciousness for its own originality .\nbut in a sea of grimy indie westerns , especially ones that started with the same genre canvas ( last year\u2019s \u201c bone tomahawk \u201d comes to mind , and is far more innovative ) , \u201coutlaws & angels\u201d is a thoroughly ugly example of when \u201ctarantino - esque\u201d is the most generous compliment .\nin addition to the above two answers , ner / seele had to wait until they discovered the lost lance of longinus in the antartic ocean before they could begin instrumentality . this did not occur until after the angels began appearing , so they were obliged to battle at least some of them !\nmuch like zeno and future zeno , whom they serve , the angels are remorseless and indifferent , not caring at all about the lives of others . that includes not only mortals , but also the gods themselves . however , as amoral as they may be , angels can lend their assistance to others , such as whis re - winding time for goku for a second chance to finish off frieza ; another is when whis tells future trunks and future mai that he is going to go and alter the future timeline by warning future beerus of goku black and zamasu ' s zero mortal plan .\nst . thomas aguinas tells us that because angels are referred to as a company and not a race they cannot procreate ; they are pure spirit beings with no need of a body or its attributes . in wahtever body they might have appeared are only apparant bodies for our comfort when encountering them .\ni hated this book so much words can barely describe it . i have always rated marian keyes books very highly in the past , and have loved other books in the walsh family companion series , but i don ' t know if this book was an exception or if i read the others too long ago to really remember them . my main problem with this book was the plot , or lack thereof . it took me so long to finish this book and the main reason for this was that almost nothing happened plot - wise . in terms of story , it really didn\nthe role of the angels and the role of the holy spirit are very different even though they are companion roles in our lives by assisting us to build the church and in establishing the kingdom of god where we live . the difference lies in that the role of the angels is to administer material affairs . the role of the holy spirit is to reveal the mind of god and to make jesus known . matthew 4 : 11 shows this distinction clearly ; jesus was\nled\nby the spirit ,\ntaught\nby the spirit , and\nfilled\nwith the spirit , but he was\ni hated it . i hated the way she wrote as it wasn ' t challenging in anyway . i hated the storyline as it was predictable and made me fall asleep . i hated her characters they were so boring bland and the same as any other basic characters . the main reason i hated it was for the meaning behind it ( that i got at least ) it implied that for women to succeed and be successful in life they must get married . oh wait no now women should have children or else they ' ve failed at life and at being a women . forge\nroy learns that his political opponents plan to disbar him for an ethical lapse , but he vows to remain a lawyer until he dies . in a friendly rapprochement , he gives joe his blessing , until joe reveals that he has left harper for a man\u2014he has been living for a blissful month with louis . stunned and angry , he demands that joe end his gay relationship at once . ethel comes to observe him in his misery . joe ' s wife , on the other hand , spends her days at the mormon visitor ' s center watching a diorama of the mormon migration featuring a father dummy who looks suspiciously like joe . when prior drops in to conduct research on angels , a fantasy sequence ensues in which louis and joe appear in the diorama . the formerly silent mormon mother comes to life and leaves with harper , giving her painful but valuable advice on loss and change .\ndisappointing . i have loved other keyes novels , but this one is slow . nothing happens , nothing happens , nothing happens for far too long , mostly because the main character doesn ' t want anything , so she ' s not trying to do anything , so you get endless descriptions of her pointless days of hanging out . it ' s quite a long slog through the middle part . and keyes seems to think los angeles\nwackiness\nmakes up for all that , but it does not . at the end it gets pretty good , but i ' m frankly surprised i ma\ndeceased people who still possess their bodies are referred to as\nangels\n, the only difference from their living selves being that they possess a halo over their head and can grow white wings . examples of this include goku and vegeta during the majin buu saga , and frieza during the universe survival saga .\ncherubim rank after the seraphim and are the second highest in the nine hierarchies or choirs of angels . the old testament does not reveal any evidence that the jews considered them as intercessors or helpers of god . they were closely linked in god ' s glory . they are manlike in appearance and double - winged and were guardians of god ' s glory . they symbolized then , god ' s power and mobility . in the new testament , they are alluded to as celestial attendants in the apocalypse ( rv 4 - 6 ) . catholic tradition describes them as angels who have an intimate knowledge of god and continually praise him .\nthis book drove me insane and maybe that ' s why it took me two weeks to read such an easy novel . i wanted to slap maggie , the supposed\nheroine\nand i didn ' t relate to her at all . i couldn ' t stand how she bounced from one extreme to the other with reactions and emotions . i wanted to slap maggie for her stupid behavior ( what was the scene when she freaked out in front of troy ? ) and when she was too insecure to speak up for herself . . . even so much as to not eat . i thought the epilogue was ridiculous\nif the heroine of & apos ; & apos ; the bay of angels & apos ; & apos ; has found a fulfillment of sorts , it is because she has come to recognize that happiness is possible only when its limitations are fully recognized and accepted . with this caveat , free will finds its proper exercise .\nthe beginning of & apos ; & apos ; the bay of angels & apos ; & apos ; ( as well as other themes and details in the novel that will be very familiar to brookner & apos ; s regular readers ) certainly suggests that she is recycling the same material . but brookner is in fact shifting , in subtle and highly interesting ways , the terms of the dilemmas she habitually sets forth and dramatizes . & apos ; & apos ; the debut & apos ; & apos ; begins with the proposition that virtue will ultimately be rewarded in life , as it so often is in the novels of dickens , and looks at the consequences that unfold as this proposition is challenged by experience . but & apos ; & apos ; the bay of angels & apos ; & apos ; is up to something different : the lesson its heroine , zo\u00eb cunningham , draws from her reading is & apos ; & apos ; that i need make no decisions on my own behalf , for destiny or fate would always have had the matter in hand . . . . there were no stratagems to be undertaken . one had simply to exist , in a state of dreamy indirection , for the plot to work itself out . & apos ; & apos ;\nangels have incredibly impressive intelligence , and have a considerable amount of knowledge regarding the world of deities , godly ki , and the intense training needed to ascend to their level , though far from being omniscient . as a result , whis , being beerus ' mentor , has since taken the role of a martial arts instructor for goku and vegeta . angels are also among the most powerful warriors in existence , as every single angel holds power much greater than the gods of destruction that they mentor . the grand minister , who is apparently the strongest angel , was said by whis in the manga to be virtually the strongest warrior in the multiverse .\ndisappointing . i have loved other keyes novels , but this one is slow . nothing happens , nothing happens , nothing happens for far too long , mostly because the main character doesn ' t want anything , so she ' s not trying to do anything , so you get endless descriptions of her pointless days of hanging out . it ' s quite a long slog through the middle part . and keyes seems to think los angeles\nwackiness\nmakes up for all that , but it does not . at the end it gets pretty good , but i ' m frankly surprised i made it all the way to the end .\nresurrection : angels are able to bring back souls from hell to insert them into recently deceased bodies . in\nwingman\n, amenadiel brought malcolm back from hell moments after he dies . in\ninfernal guinea pig\n, lucifer brought abel into the body of bree garland . however , they require their wings for this power .\nnerv ' s goal all along was the preservation of humanity so stopping the angels falls along their goals , the human instrumentality project was seele ' s secret goal to force the evolution of man though creating their own third impact that they could control , because the human instrumentality committee oversaw nerv it was also nerv ' s secret goal .\nangels appear as humanoid creatures with pale blue skin , white hair , violet eyes , and various heights . each have a blue halo around their necks , with the exception of grand minister , whose halo floats vertically behind his head . their clothing bares similarities to zeno , while the patterns on their clothes resemble the gods of destruction they serve .\nsaint michael the archangel isn ' t a saint , but rather he is an angel , and the leader of all angels and of the army of god . this is what the title\narchangel\nmeans , that he is above all the others in rank . st . michael has four main responsibilities or offices , as we . . . continue reading\nlucifer , then known as samael , was thought to be god ' s favorite until he rebelled . god cast him out of heaven , condemning him to rule hell for all eternity . the rest of the angels continued to reside in heaven and try to act in god ' s will . in 2011 , lucifer voluntarily abdicated , leaving hell with no leader .\nalso , the angels tend to be well - mannered and well - humored , respecting mortals and gods alike , and treating them as equals during a conversation . despite serving the gods of destruction , they are also lorded over by the equally high - ranking supreme kais , and tend to refer to them by title as well , in addition to their names .\nno job is too big or too small for any of the angels . they are very real beings of god\u2019s light who are here to shine for us . they bring us protection , comfort , relief , and understanding far beyond what mere words can express here . remember , all you need to do is to ask for their assistance , and they will be there for you .\nafter prior suffers an episode at the visitor ' s center , hannah takes him to the hospital . there , the angel descends , and prior wrestles her . he succeeds , and is granted entry into heaven to refuse his prophecy . in heaven , which resembles san francisco after the great earthquake , prior tells the angels that despite all his suffering he wants them to bless him and give him more life . the angels sympathize but say they cannot halt the plague . he tells them should god return , they should sue him for abandonment . back on earth , his fever broken , prior tells louis he loves him but that he cannot ever come back . harper leaves joe for the last time and sets off on an optimistic voyage to san francisco to begin her own life .\nthe bible only mentions the names of four angels from the countless millions that have been created . they are , gabrielle , whose name means ,\ngod is mighty\n, michael , whose name means ,\nlike god\n, raphael , whose name means ,\ngod heals\n, and lucifer , whose name means ,\nlight bearer\n. all of them were created good !\nthis is exemplified several times , as the grand minister announces universal destruction with a smile , vados prompting champa and beerus to fight on their birthday , mojito chuckling after the destruction of his universe and his fellow gods , and perhaps most notably of all , whis ' s open and nonchalant mockery to the gods of his universe , as , when his father declares the angels of the universes are the only beings to be spared by the two zenos , he simply states his position is different than theirs , and laughs at them , establishing that despite having spent hundreds of millions of years at beerus ' side , angels do not tend to involve themselves emotionally with anything or anyone , except perhaps , with each other . however , there are some exceptions to this . for example , it has been shown that universe 10\u2019s cus is shown having fun with her fellows rumsshi and gowasu . she was also shown deeply grief - stricken when her universe was erased from existence following team universe 10 \u2019s elimination from the tournament of power . additionally , during universe 6\u2019s erasure , vados bows to champa as a sign of respect . campari was worried about his god of destruction and supreme kai and he seemed to be involucrated in his team as he was , at some point , shocked , by some eliminations of universe 3 . in the manga , he also lied to zeno about what mule said , to potentially spare his gods from being erased . sour also looked solemn after his universe was erased and did show some respect for the efforts of some of his universe ' s team members .\nhave many varying different roles and functions to assist the christian here on the earth . not only do they minister to god before the throne day and night but they also convey god ' s messages to his people . some have specific roles and are created to perform specific tasks such as the guardian angels of countries , territories and individuals . although this subject is too vast to enter into here , perhaps this short article will allow you to study the subject further .\nif the word lucifer is taken as a reference to satan , then satan was not an angel . according to the qur ' an satan belonged to a group that was created from fire . he did move around in the company of angels , and at one time was a pretty good being . unlike angels who do not have the ability to disobey god , satan and others like him do - just like human beings . his name at the time was iblees . it is only after the creation of adam and eve , when god ordered those present to bow before adam , iblees who was present in the gathering , refused to bow . when god asked him why he did not bow , his answer was that he ( iblees ) , having been created from fire , was better than adam who was created from the dust . it was in that moment of disobedience that he came to be known as satan . as one can see , he was no angel .\nsuperhuman strength : angels possess great strength and are far stronger than humans . lucifer has displayed this on multiple occasions , notably by lifting humans off the ground with one hand or by sending them flying across rooms . presumably they are more powerful than demons , as mazikeen was unable to defeat amenadiel when she battled him in the lux bar , with him essentially toying with her throughout the fight . however , lucifer , who had previously matched amenadiel in a fight , was nearly beaten by mazikeen .\nplain yoghurt at room temperature . . that ' s how the sisters describe maggie the protagonist , and it describes how i felt about the book and the characters . the book is quit slow in my opinion . i found the characters a bit bland , which is a surprise because i used to like the walsh family . and i guess i still do . maybe that ' s why i like the second half of the book better , where the family gets more involved in the story . the characters from la were just a little stereotypical and in many ways predictable , and i didn ' t really care for any of them . i like keyes ' books because they ' re normally easy to read and fun but also has some depth . this one . . . well , it just wasn ' t as fun as other books by keyes . and the serious part of the story drowned in a slow and not as interesting story about working and partying in la .\nthis book drove me insane and maybe that ' s why it took me two weeks to read such an easy novel . i wanted to slap maggie , the supposed\nheroine\nand i didn ' t relate to her at all . i couldn ' t stand how she bounced from one extreme to the other with reactions and emotions . i wanted to slap maggie for her stupid behavior ( what was the scene when she freaked out in front of troy ? ) and when she was too insecure to speak up for herself . . . even so much as to not eat . i thought the epilogue was ridiculous . . . she might as well have written\nand everyone lived happily ever after .\ni do not recommend this book . it should have been light and funny and an easy read . . . instead it was exasperating and i had to drag myself through each page . i skimmed more than i prefer and couldn ' t wait to finish it . i ' m happy to move on . . .\n3 . 5\u2605s angels is a light , humorous chick lit novel , which entertained me a lot . following the break - up of her nine year marriage to garv , dublin resident maggie walsh jets off to los angeles to spend some time with her friend emily o ' keeffe . emily , a talented script writer , has been struggling for a couple of years , trying to break into the la movie industry . in short time maggie is drawn into the crazy lifestyles of los angeles wannabes , which become great sources of amusing anecdotes . underneath\ngarage sale angels : brad vifquain is eternally grateful to community members who packed the four - day garage sale he hosted this summer . it was overwhelming , said the 53 - year - old in need of a new heart . he felt the love of old friends and strangers and the money raised went to pay for dental work he needed to complete before a transplant . he\u2019s already planning his next fundraiser because he\u2019s still strapped for cash . but he says this : \u201ci know i have hundreds of people praying for me and this is priceless . \u201d\nnita brookner & apos ; s famously depressed oeuvre , now in its 20th iteration with & apos ; & apos ; the bay of angels , & apos ; & apos ; harks back to a time before prozac and its pharmaceutical cousinry were common household expedients . imagine , just for a moment , what would happen if brookner & apos ; s anomie - bedeviled heroines could only get the therapy they are clearly in need of : the whole oeuvre itself might lift and disappear like the fog that hung over so much of their native london in the 19th century .\ni have been given a big pile of books from my step mum , many of which are marian keyes . a few years ago i read a few marian keyes books and i couldn\u2019t remember which ones i had read from the blurb on the back\u2026 probably not a good sign . i am also not a huge fan of \u201cchick lit\u201d . about three chapters into this book i realised i had read it before . i couldn\u2019t remember what had happened , but i was able to guess / remember most of the plot before it happened . the story follows maggie , who has a big loud irish family and a husband . who to be honest , we never really found out much about . from what we do learn , he seems like a really decent bloke . they are on the verge of breaking up as they have barely spoken to each other for months and seem to have some underlying problems that we don\u2019t know about until later on in the book . maggie realises he\u2019s been seeing someone else and leaves him , which pleases her family , who don\u2019t like him ( i still don\u2019t really know why\u2026 ) . she then travels out to la to see a friend of hers and stay there for a month to get her head together . her friend emily is out there writing scripts which keep getting rejected\u2026 we then follow them , emily trying to get a script accepted , and maggie trying to get her head together by sleeping around with a male friend of emily\u2019s \u2013 a self confessed tart that she falls for then gets annoyed when he doesn\u2019t ring , and emily\u2019s gay friend lara . eventually she sorts out her issues , we find out what caused the split between her and her husband , and she ends up going home back to her husband . despite the lesbian sub plot which was mildly interesting , this book was a bit slow . it seemed to take ages to get going , and i didn\u2019t really like many of the characters , they were either stereotypical or predictable , ( and not because i had read this years before\u2026 ) this type of book is not usually my thing , too much shopping and not enough real people talking to each other about their problems . a nice bit of entertainment , easy to read , but not really my cup of tea ."]}

tv channel . the major obstacle to this goal is janey ' s father , stiff - necked colonel glenn ( ed lauter ) . the girls ' most hated rival is rich - witch natalie sands ( holly gagnier ) , who buys her way into the dance show . the plot , what there is of it , falls apart long before the final scene , but girls just want to have fun gets by thanks to the winning performances of stars parker and hunt .\nsuicide squad has pushed its fun , whimsical strengths ( like its grungy hot topic aesthetic , guardians of the galaxy vibe , and margot robbie & apos ; s harley quinn ) from the very start . but this new trailer , and virtually everything about its marketing campaign\u2014plus rumored reshoots to add more\nhumor ,\nwhich director david ayer claims are actually to beef up the movie & apos ; s action \u2014point to just how unusually important this movie has become for its studio .\ni recognize that many will reject plot as irrelevant in a mad max film . \u201cit\u2019s just a fun movie , \u201d they\u2019ll say , or \u201cmad max , is just a living comic book . \u201d but giving up the ghost at the outset is inexcusable . movies are art ; they must be done well . the best escapism is good escapism and there is no reason why entertainment should not be as well - made as all the other things we need to have a truly valuable human experience . the first two mad max films were both well written and interesting . the third was dumb but campy . there is no reason why this one had to be so bad .\ni knew the contents of this film from a vhs tape that i ' d owned for many years . i am in my 60s and many of the artistes in the film are of interest to me . the quality of the visual aspect of the film is as good as , i feel , we can expect - 50 years on - and the sound provided by the performers is pretty good , as well . no prospective purchaser should expect a serious storyline !\nor a while , it became understandably easy to ridicule hollywood studios for buying up the rights for essentially anything they could find . transformers ! a ouija board ! angry birds ! that bit of chicken you just spat out ! the madness was contagious and so was the desire to write thinkpieces about how it was all signaling the official end of originality and quite possibly the apocalypse .\nwarcraft isn ' t a perfect movie , but it ' s lots of high -

makers have used absurd horror to tackle race before , like in timo vuorensola\u2019s 2012 film iron sky , which placed the action on the dark side of the moon where the nazis had been hiding out , plotting to forcibly make black people white . but in get out , peele brought the action much closer to home . some have dubbed the film an \u201c african -

the - house workout gear , for sure .\nmy final complaint is about the women in the film . there are many who celebrate the film because of the supposedly strong female characters and , in fact , charlize theron is the most compelling member of the cast . this defense is made all the more vehement in response to the manufactured pre - movie outrage depicting the movie as anti - male ( my wife wonders whether this was a paid guerrilla advertising campaign orchestrated by the movie\u2019s producers ) . further , the film , despite its problems , passes the\ndid it much better , with more depth and more realism . while it may not seem possible , the women in this film are even more cartoonish than the men .\nthe latest example of this is the warcraft movie , based on the games and characters created by blizzard entertainment . this is a movie widely panned by critics , and laughed at and written off as just another terrible video game movie by many .\ndon\u2019t get me wrong : i do believe there are times when separating the art from the artist \u2014 but acknowledging that the artist has done horrible things \u2014 is important . there are an awful lot of people who have done awful , awful things , and sometimes , you just want to enjoy a favorite movie without having to think about that . the line for everybody will be different .\nif you are a fan of the 1960s you will love this film . very much of the period . brought back many happy memories . a bit slapstick but i loved it\nlet\u2019s end with the legendary roger ebert , writing on may 19 , who had plenty of positives to highlight from the film , as he always had throughout the two trilogies .\na must for all jeffrey hunter fans . excellent picture quality and sound . susan harrison is sexy and evil . dennis ho . . . read more\nwe all like what we like and i begrudge nobody for having a good time . if you enjoyed this film , more power to you . but don\u2019t confuse liking something with it being good . this is not a \u201cmasterpiece\u201d as the paid reviewers are claiming , and it won\u2019t be a game changer . it will be forgotten quickly . the movie is stupid . it\u2019s a product of lazy writing and a video game mindset . it\u2019s too violent and shockingly unsophisticated , even for a summer action flick . it\u2019s also kind of offensive , and for the life of me , i can\u2019t figure out why so many people like it .\nhard decisions have to be made . the crew turns against itself , kind of , and people turn against themselves , for reasons that are maybe justified . then the movie takes an infamous left turn : an astronaut ( played by mark strong looking like a fleshpile from hellraiser ) from a previous mission somehow gets onboard , and starts killing people . what had been a capital -

yet - still - somehow - disappointing box office performance kind of presents a bit of a problem .\nand while the caffeinated freneticism of everyone else\u2019s moves are startling enough on their own , sarah jessica parker ( or her stunt double , more accurately ) has janey dance in a way that is inexplicable . although janey blows everyone away at the audition , but the move that earns her the pass to the finals isn\u2019t inventive . in fact , it\u2019s not even dancing . she wins a dance competition by doing gymnastics , which even in 1985 i\u2019d wager were understood to be two separate things . not in the world of girls just want to have fun , though . here , it\u2019s like janey is the first person to realize backflips could exist outside a gym , and no one else has ever seen a backflip in their entire life .\n, and while i can\u2019t argue that this film won\u2019t make lots of money , i can explore its lack of quality . ultimately then , what i offer here is a meditation on what makes a defensible movie plot . i\u2019m going to focus on four criteria : the plot must serve its purpose in the genre , be consistent in the world in sets up , be well - crafted , and respect its characters . these are not the only requirements for a good movie , of course\u2014acting and cinematography are tremendously important , too\u2014but plot is complicated enough of a subject for one blog post .\n\u201c revenge of the sith has some almost decent things . yoda is good value as ever , though his character is never allowed to breathe in the airless galaxy lucas creates , and there is a good sequence at the end showing the \u201cbirth\u201d of darth vader while princess amidala is delivered of her twins . it has what the rest of the film so conspicuously lacks : a spark of real dramatic life . but it comes far too late and it is over immediately . how depressing to compare any of this with the fun and gusto of harrison ford , carrie fisher and mark hamill in the first movie . as for the elephantine trilogy as a whole , it was all too clearly a product of george lucas\u2019s overweening production giant industrial light and magic . no magic , little light , but an awful lot of heavy industry . \u201d\nlike o ' hehir , i ' ve come to this conclusion after two weeks of preparation for the 50th new york film festival\u2014a time in which i ' ve seen a great many films , from antonio mendez esparza ' s quietly powerful here and there to cristian mungiu ' s riveting yet low - key beyond the hills to christian petzold ' s modest character drama barbara . but i have to confess that i ' ve seen nothing at the nyff that resonated as deeply or engaged me as thoroughly as looper \u2014yes , a bruce willis action movie , but one with an ingeniously worked - out plot , surprisingly deep emotions , and a thing or two to say about the uncertainty of inevitability . moreover , it ' s a lot of fun , which is a quality that doesn ' t have to exist separately from cinematic brilliance . it would be easy to presume otherwise ; too many film writers turn up a collective nose at films aimed at reaching and cheering a mass audience , as though truly great cinema must be met ( at least ) halfway .\nthe film was directed by neill blomkamp , who has since admitted that the story wasn\u2019t quite all there . blomkamp had a reputation as a sci - fi thinker after district 9 , but he\u2019s never been as pretentious as his partisans . he likes action scenes , and he likes space guns . elysium is , in that sense , a fairly standard contemporary blockbuster action film . it suffers from our modern story gravity : the world is at stake .\nsome films in this genre get around the \u201cbudget\u201d thing with a lo - fi aesthetic . the brilliant time travel potboiler primer was shot for lunch money in houses and public spaces . the clever ex machina won an oscar for its digital effects , but it\u2019s cheaper to build a robot woman when she spends the movie talking in one room . but spaceships are a problem you can\u2019t fake with clever lighting . arrival cost a reported $ 47 million and seems to have 17 production companies , and the film still has to deal with people saying things like \u201cthe aliens don\u2019t look all that convincing . \u201d\nthe\nbirth of the beatles\n( us version ) movie is especially good image quality , i would rate it ( 9 . 5 ) for image qualit . . . read more\nand that\u2019s all in the first 10 minutes of the movie . we\u2019re just getting warmed up\u2014much like the dancers in this film , i would say , but these people don\u2019t need to warm up so much as make sure they\u2019re not going into debt on what is undoubtedly a massive budget for cocaine . \u201cdance like no one\u2019s watching\u201d takes on new meaning in this movie , which features people dancing not only as though no one was watching , but also as if they\u2019ve never seen dancing in their lives , and were instructed to make it up from scratch . and make it up they do , from the initial audition scene starring a cast of hundreds and an outdoor stage perfect for doing every type of dance imaginable , especially once the competition begins . ( apparently dance tv needs ballet , in the eyes of some . ) it\u2019s difficult to say how this tryout was organized , but it\u2019s executed with the smooth precision of a mass lemming suicide .\ni ' d love it if you followed me on twitter and facebook and subscribed to my channel on youtube . also feel free to subscribe to my posts by email . thanks for reading .\nproduced on an estimated budget of $ 113 million , the film arrived on may 19 , 2005 with an opening day haul of $ 50 , 013 , 859 from an estimated 9 , 400 screens at 3 , 661 locations , for what was then the biggest single days take in movie history . a colossal north american first weekend gross of $ 108 , 435 , 841 on 3 , 663 screens followed , with a final domestic tally of $ 380 , 270 , 577 and a mammoth $ 848 , 754 , 768 worldwide . wowing fans of the saga , it brought the prequel trilogy home in bombastic fashion , showing the tragic events which led to the creation of darth vader , the fall of the jedi , and the formation of the galactic empire . the circle was now complete , but how did the film fare when it came to the critical opinions of the wider film press ?\nas soon as her daughter gets kidnapped , however , the film loses that sense of playfulness and goes into serious action - thriller mode , which would have been fine if it did not also keep trying to be more than that .\nbut separating the art from the artist is a lot easier when the artist in question seems to be pushing themselves and trying new things . whatever you think of casey affleck\u2019s oscar win for manchester by the sea , he gave a stunning performance in that film . by contrast , even depp seems bored by jack sparrow in this movie ( except , amusingly , when he shares the screen with paul mccartney for a couple of minutes ) , which only led me to wonder why his career seems to have surged in the wake of heard\u2019s accusations . ( this movie was already in production at the time heard made her accusations . )\nin a lot of ways , this rushed first entry felt like a really great setup for a better , more in - depth movie to follow . i hope they make a sequel or two .\nrevenge of the sith isn\u2019t just a great star wars movie , it\u2019s a flat out great film . yes it\u2019s technically proficient and yes it\u2019s visually beautiful . those things are a given . what hasn\u2019t been is how solidly the film is constructed . revenge of the sith is a powerful , big budget experience . yet it is the way that it fits so wonderfully into the existing star wars mythos that best sells it , the way it nestles so nicely into 1977\u2019s episode iv : a new hope that makes it special . the real beauty is that you could easily toss out the previous two awkward attempts , watch only this in sequence with the original films , and come out completely satisfied . attack of the clones and the phantom menace are best forgotten . lucas\u2019s real miscalculation was in not making this movie right from the start . he tried to stretch the story when all we needed was vader\u2019s rise in its purest form . star wars fans have finally been rewarded for their patience . george has made another masterpiece . \u201d\nif that sounds like fun : congratulations , you\u2019re the moviegoer hollywood can\u2019t afford to believe in . making science fiction without rayguns generally demands a big budget and generally promises no easy thrills . people barely want to see science fiction movies as it is . fantasy has always been more popular at the box office \u2014 especially depending on which bucket you toss star wars into .

known films of the soviet - era director larisa shepitko . they have now been released in a boxed set from eclipse , the no - frills label of the criterion collection . these are extraordinary works , rich in moral complexities and spiritual underpinnings , filmed with a blend of brutal realism and a lyricism that at crucial moments passes into pure abstraction . they belong to a period in soviet filmmaking that would come to be forgotten as the empire collapsed : a moment when creative expression was tolerated , and even subsidized , by a totalitarian government .\ndvd verdict wrote that the\nmost astonishing thing about wings is how young shepitko was when she directed it . it feels like the work of an older director , one who would understand what it ' s like to live in the shadow of your younger self\nand that much of the film ' s\nsuccess leans on the performance of bulgakova , and she does deliver a phenomenal performance . on a whole , the film doesn ' t stand out in terms of its storytelling or cinematography , but as a sensitive human portrait , it truly is remarkable ,\nand critic dennis schwartz called it a\nbrilliantly conceived work of art .\nin sight & sound ' s 2012 surveys of the greatest films ever made , two critics ( sergio grmek germani and erica gregor ) and two directors ( carol morley and vlado \u0161kafar ) voted for wings .\nhamish ford is a lecturer in film , media and cultural studies at the university of newcastle , and a regular contributor to senses of cinema .\nlinda williams , figures of desire : a theory and analysis of surrealist film ( urbana : university of illinois press , 1981 ) , 11\u201312 .\nin this portrait of a world askew , filmmaker mccabe composes an apocalyptic lullaby , a landscape film meditating on the end of the world and subtly the end of film as a medium . incorporating timelapse cinematography shot at the salton sea , big sur and joshua tree , the film provides a canvas of empty and beautiful spaces with narration about the benefits of radiation with a plea to the viewer to preserve the message for the future .\nandrei roublev \u2019s treatment of art , as first staged in the prologue and gradually , variously moulded throughout the ensuing film , is certainly more heroic than that found in the other more recognisably \u201cmodern\u201d films of 1966 , and their treatment of art and authorship ( particularly a film like blowup ) . in many ways , such a comparison is unfair , and makes tarkovsky look like a decidedly religious and conservative proselytiser of pre - modern ideas about artistic worth and cultural purpose . but any simple comparison overlooks important historical , political and cultural contexts . such a view also reinforces a rather self - satisfied , sceptical western attitude that insists that we know how one should think about such matters . but tarkovsky\u2019s mysterious , quintessentially romantic address is at its heart a meditation on what the artist , or \u201cauthor\u201d , is , and how ( s / ) he reacts and seeks to turn reality into art . idiosyncratically heroic it might be , but the film keeps asking questions familiar to more sceptical ( and post - ) modern minds and films as well ( for example , via much darker treatment in ingmar bergman\u2019s persona , 1966 ) : is art relevant to contemporary life , or is it merely a self - indulgent and ideological deification of the individual subject ?\ni quote skvorecky\u2019s views on the film at some length because his illuminating commentary recognizes that daisies\u2019s \u201cmischievous\u201d tone is both constrained and produced by the real - ities of the nationalized czech film industry of the 1960s . he is the only commentator on daisies to engage with two key issues that most others miss : the ironic quality of the film and the overdetermined and possibly strategic nature of chytilova\u0301\u2019s pro - fessed intentions regarding daisies . he writes :\nagainst this are juxtaposed nadezhda\u2019s remembrances of things past . shepitko reinforces a sense of fracture by introducing successive acts of the drama through aerial shots soaring through clouds . these majestic flights of remembered freedom contrast markedly with the tight compositions of the myriad drab interiors that nadezhda often finds herself within . ultimately , away from the immediate setting of war , this tension within the protagonist of wings can more aptly be taken as a potent symbol of her nation ( as a figure caught between looking back and moving forward , and who is placed , in 1966 , at the forefront of exaggerated displays of visibility on the world stage that edged the soviet union ever closer to another war ) . this is understated and implicit in shepitko\u2019s deceptively straightforward drama , but it goes some way to conveying the film\u2019s rich layers of meaning , a sense of its own interior life .\nthe artist in a nationalized film industry wages a constant struggle with his first viewer and producer in one person , the political establishment . . . .\ndvd verdict wrote that the\nmost astonishing thing about wings is how young shepitko was when she directed it . it feels like the work of an older director , one who would understand what it ' s like to live in the shadow of your younger self\nand that much of the film ' s\nsuccess leans on the performance of bulgakova , and she does deliver a phenomenal performance . on a whole , the film doesn ' t stand out in terms of its storytelling or cinematography , but as a sensitive human portrait , it truly is remarkable ,\n[ 9 ] and critic dennis schwartz called it a\nbrilliantly conceived work of art .\n[ 10 ] in sight & sound ' s 2012 surveys of the greatest films ever made , two critics ( sergio grmek germani and erica gregor ) and two directors ( carol morley and vlado \u0161kafar ) voted for wings .

language cinema of the day . leading us film magazine premiere\u2019s 1980s wrap - up poll voted it second only to raging bull ( 1980 ) as film of the decade .\nwhile consumption and destruction are the elements of the film most often remarked by film reviewers , in the final por - tion of my discussion i focus instead on daisies\u2019s thematic and for - mal preoccupation with collage and fragmentation in relation to an ironizing of gender performances . chytilova\u0301 has stated that the film\u2019s theme \u2014 an ethical critique of its destructive protago - nists \u2014 was inextricable from its form : \u201cthe form of the film was really derived from the conceptual basis of the film . because the concept of the film was destruction , the form became destructive as well . \u201d5 the \u201cdestructive form\u201d that daisies employs , with breath - taking results , is collage , a result of cinematographer jaroslav kucera\u2019s experiments with this technique . daisies\u2019s surrealist motifs of montage and collage are epitomized in striking images of the heroines\u2019 bodies splintered and recomposed . these formal strategies suggest an appropriation of surrealist tenets \u2014 incon - gruity and surprise , the denial of mimetic representation , and the revelatory power of fragmentation\u2014by a czech feminist film - maker . though collage as a formal strategy was meant to support the film\u2019s cautionary warning against vacuity , it also serves to unmask gender attributes as naturalized masquerade . the for - mal devices of fragmentation ( in sound , image , and spatio - tem - porality ) , as well as the narrative depiction of cutting and dis - memberment , underscore the film\u2019s allegorical presentation of the heroines as transgressive assemblages of gender attributes .\nthe movie\u2019s back story is itself fascinating : it\u2019s the latest of several remakes of a 1966 film that has long been lost . set in seattle , it stars ms . tang as a prison inmate on a furlough who falls in love with a korean gigolo , played by hyun bin . it was the highest - grossing korean film in china on release in 2012 , and it\u2019s a surprisingly low - key work , with an excellent albeit very quiet performance by ms . tang . i also checked out \u201cso i married an anti - fan\u201d ( 2016 ) , whose boy - meets - girl , hate - love - hate - love plotline will be familiar to hallmark movie fans , but it builds up interest through its peppy depiction of asian fan culture .\nwings is the debut feature of director , larisa shepitko , a contemporary of tarkvosky and parajanov but who only produced four films before her untimely death at the age of 42 . the film tells the story of a former fighter pilot , nadezhda petrovna , who now works as a headmistress at a provincial school . yet her life is incomplete , her daughter is leaving to be married , nadezhda herself is in a passionless relationship and she longs for the past she once had .\nartists contending with political repression have frequently made use of the artfulness of allegory . the strictures of nationalized filmmaking were also paradoxically productive , inspiring \u201can oblique , coded film culture\u201d that \u201ccould tell quiet , often painful truths , \u201d qualities that a film industry subjected to the vicissitudes of the marketplace could never have sustained . 25\n\u201cwings\u201d begins with a seemingly prosaic sequence in which nadezhda is measured for a conservative new suit that reflects her status as a member of the soviet bureaucracy . by breaking the action into isolated close - ups \u2014 an arm , a shoulder \u2014 as the tailor dryly recites his measurements , shepitko makes it clear that nadezhda is being fitted with a straitjacket , a garment that will leave her no room to spread the wings that war had given her . repeatedly , nadezhda looks up from her desk to examine a sky covered in milky clouds , a beckoning whiteness that finds its abstract counterpart in the snow - covered fields of \u201cthe ascent . \u201d\nhoward hawks was born on may 30 , 1896 , in goshen , indiana . his first script , tiger love , was produced in 1924 . he made his directorial debut in 1926 , with the road to glory . hawks directed only angels have wings in 1939 and sergeant york in 1941 . the last film he directed was rio lobo , released in 1970 . four years later , hawks won an honorary academy award . he died on december 26 , 1977 , in palm springs , california .\nas director vera chytilova\u0301 put it , \u201ceach of my films has met a cer - tain resistance on the part of authority . \u201d1 daisies [ sedmikra\u0301sky ] ( czechoslovakia , 1966 ) was no exception . denounced by state deputies in czechoslovakia for \u201chav [ ing ] nothing in common with our republic , socialism , and the ideals of communism , \u201d2 daisies was initially banned and only eventually allowed public screening , and chytilova\u0301 herself was barred from filmmaking from 1969 to 1975 .\nthere has been a lot of conjecture about what it was that the soviet authorities found so objectionable in the film . vita t . johnson and graham petrie suggest that the first official complaints in 1966 singled - out the film\u2019s \u201cexcessive violence\u201d , \u201cnaturalism\u201d , and \u201canti - historical and anti - russian , cruel and harmful\u201d qualities ( 8 ) . but once the film was finally released , five years later , any negative reaction was just as likely to concern rather more prosaic issues , equivalent versions of which are familiar in many other national contexts . there were huge expectations upon its eventual release for this historical epic about the country\u2019s most famous icon painter , but in failing to \u201clive up to genre expectation for an audience nurtured on patriotic epics glorifying russia , it questioned such films\u2019 underlying cultural myths of russia\u2019s historical greatness\u201d ( 9 ) but , more broadly , what proved problematic for the film in the brezhnev - era soviet union was also a key factor in tarkovsky\u2019s ultimate ascension \u2013 after his death and in post - communist russia \u2013 to the status of the greatest post - war soviet film artist . he has been subsequently seen as the filmmaker who mined the deepest , most mystical veins of russian cultural identity , moving beyond the vicissitudes of modern history and politics . in the post - communist period , tarkovsky\u2019s reputation has only expanded and globalised .\nrequests for even more cuts followed . tarkovsky refused . subsequently , the film was discussed extensively at the highest levels of the soviet film bureaucracy ( at mosfilm and goskino ) and of the communist party itself . the resulting stalemate meant that the film was effectively shelved until it was requested for the screening at the 1969 cannes film festival ( 5 ) . after more stonewalling by the soviet authorities , andrei roublev was eventually screened at cannes out - of - competition ( at 4 am . ) , and was subsequently awarded the international critics\u2019 prize ( 6 ) . the film was not released in the ussr until 1971 , when it became a huge success ( despite tarkovsky\u2019s complaints about the lack of publicity and press coverage ) , partially as a result of being recognised as the most famous shelved film of its era . finally , following tarkovsky\u2019s death , in 1988 the original 205 - minute version was released in the ussr as , once again , the passion according to andrei , receiving a rapturous critical and audience response ( 7 ) .\na masterwork and a great debut . a moving film about nostalgia , changing times / eras , middle age , womanhood , generational and class disputes , and moving from the past . i need to see more of larisa shepitko ' s work . i ' ve only seen one film by her and i can already tell she is a master .\n1966 was indeed something of a high - water mark for world cinema : persona ( ingmar bergman , sweden ) , 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d\u2019elle ( two or three things i know about her , jean - luc godard , france ) , blowup ( michelangelo antonioni , britain / italy / usa ) , szeg\u00e9nyleg\u00e9nyek ( the round - up , mikl\u00f3s jancs\u00f3 , hungary ) , sedmikr\u00e1sky ( daisies , vera chytilov\u00e1 , czechoslovakia ) , and even erogotoshi - tachi yori : jinruigaku ny\u00fbmon ( the pornographers , shohei imamura , japan ) , all emerged in that year . such films are frequently \u201cself -

tion due to official outcry over the \u201cwastage of food . \u201d deputy pruzinec , a member of the national assembly , attacked daisies\u2019s depiction of food orgies \u201cat a time when our farmers with great difficulties are trying to overcome the problems of our agricul - tural production . \u201d18 many czechs at the time considered this to be an \u201cunbelievable\u201d interpretation of the film . public support for the film finally convinced the government to allow its screening , but the entire debacle gives the point to the postdedication of daisies : \u201cthis film is dedicated to all those soured by the sight of trampled down lettuce \u2014 only ! \u201d19\na beautiful prescient film . in a world where the most basic animal material needs are fulfilled the human questions and needs are left wanting in a rigid hierarchical society based on capital accumulation .\nthis study has pursued several lines of inquiry in relation to daisies . given the strictures of the nationalized czech film indus - try of the 1960s , chytilova\u0301 claimed that the film worked as a dis - guised denunciation of its heroines , two nonpositive , unethical , and self - absorbed young women who meet with a just , if terrible , end . yet this declared didacticism is not all that meets the eye : daisies affords an alternative view , one that upholds , with great rel - ish , the defiant unruliness of the heroines the film purports to disparage . this ironic undercurrent in the film , whose potential for radical critique so alarmed socialist censors , is precisely the reading i have attempted to elaborate and redeem . i have argued that the doubleness of daisies is owing to its allegorical structure ; crucially , the use of dolls as allegorical ciphers for superficial and rapacious materialism opens the path to another reading of the film in terms of satirical feminist humor . at the heart of the film\u2019s joke on blinkered masculinity are those stratagems whereby the perceived resemblance between women and dolls is exploited to ruthless effect by the two maries .\ncontemporary western screenings of the film are often accompanied by exclusively feminine laughter . equally , male viewers frequently feel an antipathy toward the film\u2019s \u201cheroines . \u201d this division no doubt relates partly to the fact that the film is on target and partly to a sense of humor that is sometimes only \u201cseen\u201d by one - half of the audience . also , the girls fail to conform to the stereotypes expected by a male audience . . . . socialism in czechoslovakia tended to institutionalize existing inequalities between the sexes , and daisies certainly constitutes an attack on some identifiable targets . 34\na lovely and nuanced character study of a once famous world war ii fighter pilot named nadezhda petrovna ( maya bulgakova ) who becomes a provincial schoolmistress , raising her adopted daughter as a single mother . larissa shepitko ' s 1966 black - and - white feature is stately and reflective in a way that reminds me of some of the late films of john ford ; its commentary on the pervasive effect of stalinism on postwar russia is multilayered and provocative . written by natalia ryazantseva and valentin yezhov . in russian with subtitles . 90 min .\nwenders brought legendary cinematographer henri alekan \u2013 responsible for the haunting gothic chiaroscuro in jean cocteau\u2019s 1946 la belle et la b\u00eate \u2013 out of retirement to shoot wings of desire ( and named the film\u2019s circus in his honour ) . alekan famously used a silk stocking as a filter for his textured , sepia - tinged black - and - white imagery , depicting the angels\u2019 muted vision of the world . ironically , his rich , creamy monochrome might appear too gorgeously tactile for the angels\u2019 non - sensory world , but its silent - cinema feel helps instantly convey their timeless existence .\na eerie parallel between film and reality with its director larisa shepitko is how at age 41 , the protagonist nadezhda comes to terms with the disenchantment of a monotonous life she lives in post - war russia with loss of spirit and being virtually dead on the inside . shepitko died prematurely at age 41 ending a short but superb film career before it had the chance to blossom into supreme greatness .\ndaisies\u2019s distant and disparaging view of its mannequinlike hero - ines is reminiscent of the narrative of the \u201creformed fashion model\u201d chytilova\u0301 pursued in ceiling ( 1961 ) , her graduation film from famu ( filmova\u0301 a televizni\u0301 fakulta amu ) , the state film school located in prague . like that earlier film , daisies is a parable about the ills of bourgeois acquisitiveness and materialism ( symbolized by the two maries\u2019 obsessive and ultimately destruc - tive consumption ) . this properly \u201crevolutionary\u201d narrative was present at the level of the screenplay in ceiling , though czech film critic joseph skvorecky notes that even in that early film chytilova\u0301\u2019s avant - garde innovations undermined the script\u2019s moralistic core : \u201calthough the schematic morality remained , the director blunted it by completely shifting the emphasis to form . \u201d13 skvorecky found ceiling\u2019s emphasis on \u201crosseauvian communion\u201d deplorably didactic , exemplifying the \u201cthen fash - ionable \u2018return to the people for cathartic purposes , \u2019 \u201d14 and con - sidered chytilova\u0301\u2019s clear allusion to ceiling in daisies to be unmis - takably ironic in tone .\n\u201ci\u2019m going to eat in restaurants every day . \u201d get it , girl . a stitching of numerous poetic moments and phrases on faded significance and identity . that sounds depressing , except this one has fun moments like a russian doll play , a confused meeting of a daughter\u2019s husband to be , and two women twirling each other in an empty bar . in wings , there\u2019s such warmness added to such sadness .\ncontested intentions , or \u201ca philosophical documentary in the form of a farce\u201d antonin j . liehm describes the predicament of the filmmaker in czechoslovakia\u2019s state - controlled film industry during the period of the czech new wave :\nthis is a film directed by larisa shepitko - - a woman whose life was cut very short at age 41 . because russian movies are generally pretty tough to come by here in the us and because her career was short , there aren ' t a lot of opportunities to see her films .\nwings\nis a very slow - moving film . this isn ' t necessarily a criticism - - just a comment on the style . instead of telling the viewer a lot about the lady who is the subject of the film , you slowly begin to learn more about her as she appears to be in the throes of an existential crisis . nadezhda petrovna is a woman in her early 40s , though she appears much older . she is the principal of a high school but seems vaguely dissatisfied with her job and personal life . watching her , she seems rather sexless and emotionally stunted - - and a bit lost . as the film unfolds , you learn through brief flashback scenes that she was a pilot during wwii and apparently since then , she has been in a bit of a fog . and , the only time she smiles or seems at ease is when in an airplane . throughout nearly all of the film , petrovna walks about in a rather tentative and slow - motion manner - - and it may take some getting used to in order to enjoy the film . perhaps ' enjoy ' is not the right word , as this isn ' t meant to be enjoyed but more appreciated for the character study that it is . visually and especially musically , this is a very , very good film - - very evocative but slow and with a rather vague ending that might disappoint many . i give it a 7 , as it is a quality production - - but not one that i ' d heartily endorse . by the way , while this is not a funny film and won ' t elicit a lot of laughs , i did love seeing the school play where a few of the kids were dressed like nesting dolls ( matryoshka dolls ) . this was pretty cute .\nhames\u2019s account resembles my personal experience of viewing this film . at the screening where i first encountered daisies , a con - cerned male viewer expressed his objections to the film\u2019s protago - nists , whom he characterized as \u201cannoyingly babyish , infantile girls . \u201d even then i felt that his understandable reading of the film\u2014as confirming misogynist stereotypes about women as vain , frivolous creatures\u2014merely skimmed the surface of a nuanced text whose objectionable heroines are paradoxically a source of glee for many women . in later screenings and conversa - tions with others about this film , i began to recognize the con - tours of a particular feminist reception of daisies . this reception , only one of many possible feminist readings , is characterized by delight in the diabolical heroines\u2019 capacity to controvert gender expectations even when they appear to uphold them and by a double - tiered , allegorical reading of the film that allows the monstrosity of these unruly girls to come across as powerfully women - positive . it was this first glimpse of daisies\u2019s radical disin - genuousness regarding gender performance that prompted my examination of allegory\u2019s entanglement with feminist reception .\nandrei tarkovsky\u2019s epic film about andrei roublev , russia\u2019s most famous icon painter , is a remarkable , deeply reflexive examination of the artist\u2019s role in his particular social - historical reality . it is also concerned with the split that occurs between an artist\u2019s elevated desire to create an art of clear , transcendent beauty and one that is responsive to the immediate world as it is : characterised by violence and suffering . although tarkovsky\u2019s film is suffused with an idiosyncratically heroic vision of the artist , its insistence on an art informed by the world as it is rather than as we might like it to be , informs and problematises its content , immediate context and reception . its titular character , the young monk roublev , renounces his art in the face of its apparent irrelevance to reality , and then wanders through the film / world in often - silent observation . the film itself presented a very different vision of heroism and history than the one desired by soviet film and state authorities of the time . it also confounded the expectations of audiences awaiting an exotic widescreen epic about a famous russian artist from the middle ages .\nof all the dazzlingly talented filmmakers to emerge from the soviet union , larisa shepitko has remained one of the least widely known . while many of her film school contemporaries , including andrei tarkovsky , sergei parajanov , and her eventual h\u2026\nana lily amirpour is an iranian - american director , writer , producer , and actor best known for her award - winning debut film , the persian - language vampire western a girl walks home alone at night ( 2014 ) .\na loving film tribute to russian filmmaker larisa shepitko , who died tragically in a car accident in 1979 at the age of 40 . this documentary by her husband , elem klimov , includes excerpts . . . see full summary \u00bb\nthe first time is an abrupt cut as she swings on her trapeze ( wearing , naturally , angel wings ) ; the second , more tender and deliberate shift comes just after she confesses her innermost feelings in damiel\u2019s presence . as damiel departs , the image slowly shifts into colour : foreshadowing the union to come in the real world . for a film so intent on conjuring and then conquering a state of timelessness , this disruption of the image is the ultimate signifier that life and love within time are the only true reality . seeing blood as red . tasting coffee . feeling the cold . for wenders and his characters , the realm of the senses is the one that truly makes sense .\nandrei roublev couldn\u2019t have been made anywhere else or at any other time . by the time it was completed its moment had passed . the liberalisation of the cultural sphere in the ussr during the period of nikita khrushchev\u2019s leadership , commonly known as \u201cthe thaw\u201d , and which enabled the making and release of tarkovsky\u2019s celebrated first feature , ivanovo detstvo ( ivan\u2019s childhood ) , in 1962 , was the context in which andrei roublev was first approved and budgeted . by 1966 much had changed ( khrushchev himself had been deposed in 1964 ) . and yet following a moscow screening of the film for various critics and \u201cofficials\u201d , it was declared a \u201csignificant work of art\u201d and provisionally garnered the necessary approval for release . however , tarkovsky\u2019s film was also denied the all - important certificate necessary for a proper release ( 3 ) . soon substantial cuts were requested . desperate to get his film seen by the public , tarkovsky acquiesced , ultimately shortening it to a length of 186 minutes . this version then screened at the prestigious dom kino , garnering both ecstatic responses and further criticism . that this version is the one most commonly seen today is partly a result of tarkovsky\u2019s later claims that it was his preferred cut . although many critics have subsequently treated the second official cut as definitive , tarkovsky\u2019s declaration needs to be seen in its personal and historical context ( 4 ) .\ndon\u2019t forget that the film\u2019s original title is der himmel \u00fcber berlin \u2013 the sky or heavens over berlin \u2013 and that the project began as an investigation into germany\u2019s then - divided city . indeed , its angels were only brought in as an inspired afterthought . perhaps acknowledging the tradition of early \u2018city symphony\u2019 silent films like dziga vertov\u2019s man with a movie camera ( 1929 ) or even walter ruttmann\u2019s berlin , symphony of a city ( 1927 ) , wings of desire is also in part a wonderful time capsule of wintry , pre - unification berlin . its roving aerial camerawork and ground - level tracking wide shots highlight the city\u2019s desolate no - man\u2019s - land expanses bound by the ever - present wall .\nfor her first feature after graduating from the all - russian state institute for cinematography ( vgik ) , larisa shepitko trained her lens on the fascinating russian character actress maya bulgakova , who gives a marvelous performance as a once heroic russian fighter pilot now living a quiet , disappointingly ordinary life as a school principal . subtly portraying one woman\u2019s desperation with elegant , spare camera work and casual , fluid storytelling , shepitko , with wings , announced herself as an important new voice in soviet cinema .\nthe career of larisa shepitko , an icon of sixties and seventies soviet cinema , was tragically cut short when she was killed in a car crash at age forty , just as she was emerging on the international scene . the body of work she left behind , though small , is masterful , and her genius for visually evoking characters\u2019 interior worlds is never more striking than in her two greatest works : wings , an intimate yet exhilarating portrait of a female fighter pilot turned provincial headmistress , and the ascent , a gripping , tragic wartime parable of betrayal and martyrdom . a true artist who had deftly used the soviet film industry to make statements both personal and universal , shepitko remains one of the greatest unsung filmmakers of all time .\nget ready to take notes : the centerpiece of sight & sound\u2019s october issue is an annotated list of 100 overlooked films by women . in an article titled \u201cthe female gaze , \u201d the magazine\u2019s editors write , \u201cwe aim to challenge official film hi\u2026\nlarisa shepitko directed only four features in her short career ( the other two are \u201cheat , \u201d her 1963 diploma film , and the 1971 \u201cyou and i , \u201d her only color film ) . in 1979 , while searching for locations for a new feature she and four members of her crew were killed in a car accident . the film , based on valentin rasputin\u2019s 1976 novel \u201cfarewell to matyora , \u201d was finished by klimov in 1981 and promptly shelved . its story of a siberian village , drowned by a new dam in the name of progress , its peasant population shipped off to a soulless housing project , ends with a group of figures fading into a white mist . ( eclipse , $ 29 . 95 , not rated )\nthe film does offer , nevertheless , a kind of thematic heroism , but of a kind unfamiliar to both hollywood and soviet models of the time . this is especially clear in light of brezhnev - era repression and the ussr\u2019s overall attitude ( at least from stalin onwards ) towards artistic freedom . but this heroism is also troubling , at least in retrospect , accounting for a key part of the film\u2019s role and reputation as a misty talisman for the reactionary russian orthodox resurgence of the last two decades .\nthe final half , though , is all the more effective for its simplicity . maya becomes a fully - realised and very sympathetic character . the film ' s climax is marvellously done , and evokes some unexpected emotions as its themes finally culminate at once .\non the czech new wave and the nationalized film industry in czechoslovakia , see peter hames , the czechoslovak new wave ( berkeley : university of california press , 1985 ) and bjorn ingvoldstad , after the velvet revolution : an industrial survey of the czech and slovak film industries in the cold war era , urltoken , which summarizes the effects of the 1945 nationalization of the czech film industry . the czech new wave refers to \u201cthe emergence of a group of talented young filmmakers\u201d during \u201cthe political thaw of de - stalinization\u201d in the 1960s . this era came to an end in august 1968 when the \u201cliberal vision of \u2018socialism with a human face\u2019 \u201d espoused by president alexander dubcek was \u201cshattered by direct soviet military intervention . \u201d some of the directors associated with the czech new wave left for the west ( milos forman and jan nemec ) , but others , like chytilova\u0301 , remained in czechoslovakia \u201cdespite being barred from working in film for several years\u201d ; moreover , \u201cmany new wave films were \u2018banned forever\u2019 by subsequent government decree\u201d ( ingvoldstad ) .\ni am entirely in agreement with skvorecky that daisies must be seen in an ambivalent and tacitly adversarial relation to the dic - tates of state - supervised film production . seen in this light , it becomes possible for him to suggest that daisies\u2019s credit sequence , whose footage of explosions and air strikes links the heroines\u2019 consumption to social destruction , 16 might be a knowing attempt to avert criticism . given the atmosphere of intense censorship surrounding the productions of the czech new wave , skvorecky\u2019s remarks suggest that the film , as well as the discourse of authorial intent surrounding it , are not straight communicative perform - ances . this might help explain why chytilova\u0301 , on whose vehe - ment feminism film reviewers and scholars constantly remark , repeatedly articulates the philosophical critiques at work in daisies but remains surprisingly silent about the feminist content so often detected in the work . 17 in stressing the overdetermined nature of daisies\u2019s regard for its heroines , it is not even necessary to impute conscious calculation or canniness to the filmmakers , as skvorecky does . the nationalized , state - controlled film indus - try simultaneously provided conditions of possibility and exerted productive constraints upon daisies and its director ; given that the film was censured for seeming to endorse its unruly heroines , maintaining the converse is an understandable and expected line of defense .\nthe dia ' s historic auditorium , the detroit film theatre , is unlike anywhere else in metro detroit , with state - of - the - art projection , luxurious seats , and original d\u00e9cor from 1927 . the dft is perfect for large meetings and conferences .\noriginally from philadelphia , kate mccabe now makes her home near joshua tree , california where she founded the art collective kidnap yourself . she is a graduate of the university of the arts and she obtained her mfa in experimental animation from the california institute of the arts under the innovative jules engel . she is an award winning independent filmmaker who has shown films globally since 1995 in both film festivals and galleries . sabbia , her first feature film , a visual album for brant bjork , is distributed internationally . her current work includes paintings , photography , short fiction , and art books , her most recent being a sketch comic book called \u201cmojave weather diaries . \u201d kate has taught film as a visiting artist at calarts and uc san diego and works as the archivist for filmmaker pat o\u2019neill .\nlongtime friends , hawks and faulkner worked on a number of films together over the years . their next project was the film noir thriller the big sleep ( 1946 ) with bogart and bacall . based on the raymond chandler novel , the film is considered to be one of the great classics of its genre . two years later , hawks made one of his most famous westerns with john wayne . red river ( 1948 ) starred wayne as a cattleman who must grapple with his difficult relationship with his adopted son played by montgomery clift .\n\u201cwhen i work with film i play with light and time , rhythm and shadow . i started to shoot milk and honey and i knew i had begun to capture moments that could transport the viewer between worlds of light and shadow to a place of tangible nostalgia .\nmaking the leap to sound , hawks directed his first talking picture , the dawn patrol , in 1930 . the wwi drama starred douglas fairbanks jr . and featured many exciting aerial fight scenes . switching genres , he tackled the gangster saga scarface with paul muni , george raft , and boris karloff . the violent tale was caught up in a censorship battle waged by the producer howard hughes against the film industry & apos ; s production code administration . finally released in 1932 , the film was a big hit and paved the way for more such crime dramas .\nin the 205 - minute version of the film we see the complete arcs of these sublime shots . in the \u201cshort\u201d version we sometimes only see the first and last minute , the unique continuity of these quintessential \u201ctime - images\u201d ( to use gilles deleuze\u2019s famous phrase ) is curtailed .\nthe crux of my argument is this : daisies can be read multi - valently as enabling both a critique of the heroines\u2019 excesses ( cor - responding to the state - approved screenplay and chytilova\u0301\u2019s declared intentions ) and a latent feminist delight in the hero - ines\u2019 ability to effect reversals in the patriarchal order . this study espouses a counterreading of daisies that corresponds neither to the director\u2019s account nor to the censors\u2019 ill - considered objec - tions to the film . while my allegorical reading of the film might be at variance with declared authorial intent , it remains apprecia - tive of that strong chord of defiance in daisies that government officials were quick to impugn and chytilova\u0301 eager to gainsay . my counterreading of the film discerns , beneath daisies\u2019s apparent condemnation of its heroines , a feminist allegory in which the doll metaphor is retooled as a celebration of female recalcitrance ."]}

year - old michal ( noa koler ) desperately wants . on the verge of tying the knot , she asks her fianc\u00e9 why he\u2019s seemed distant . he admits that he doesn\u2019t love her , a confession he had been avoiding .\ni ' m certain that only a very small percentage of the kids in the film departments throughout the country have any real talent , and they have their talent regardless of anything they ' re learning in school . i ' m not saying that a film department has nothing to provide , but academics should be under no illusion that the best students are in their class because of some ridiculous sat test , or because they were able to afford the tuition . conversely , talented students that happen to be there studying film should be under no illusion that they are going to be great filmmakers because of some course of study . colleges are businesses and there will never come a day when all great art is produced within the walls of a university . innovation by its very nature is not the product of an institution . it ' s essence is a little more eternal .\ndirector rama burshtein is a practicer of heredi judaism , which carries strict rules regarding what film subjects are considered appropriate . she consulted with her rabbi throughout the filming of the movie to ensure its propriety . for example , none of the male actors ever touch the main character in any way .\n\u201ci might suggest a proactive step would be to work on films ( not as a composer ) . any film , student or low budget\u2014that isn\u2019t the point . composing is a solo sport like skateboarding , while filmmaking is a team sport like basketball . spending time on a film set would really open a composer\u2019s eyes to what the real needs , energy and environment that exists in actual filmmaking collaboration . when a composer switches from a \u2018me vs . them\u2019 mentality to seeing themselves as part of an overall team , he is that much closer to being someone other filmmakers can connect with . \u201d\nteens love the movies , but few think of film as the art form that it is . examining a movie scene can improve a teen\u0092s ability to analyze what\u0092s going on and consider all the artistic choices that the director and others made along the way . removing music from a scene will show teens how powerful music can be in film . finally , by writing their own movie scene and filming it , teens put into practice what they learned about the art of movie making . this exercise also may spark an interest in seeing some famously well done films \u0096 from lawrence of arabia to rocky .\na : there is no single place called \u201chollywood . \u201d there is , alas , no one place you can send music for it to be considered for a film\u2014it is not like writing a letter to santa claus and addressing it to the north pole , although that might bring you better luck .\njohn\u2019s scholarly specialty is ficto - critical anthropology . early on , he and georgette participate in a symposium on occupy wall street ( or something ) moderated by wallace shawn that might as well be documentary . later , they plan to attend a conference in quebec , lured partly by the promise that \u201czizek will be there , too . \u201d\nin reality , that categorization is a bit simplistic for a movie as unique , idiosyncratic and spiritual as this second feature from american israeli writer - director rama burshtein , an ultra - orthodox jew whose acclaimed 2012 debut film ,\nfill the void ,\noffered a much darker vision of faith and marriage .\ndrew said :\nit ' s a dream come true for me to be in a film with ray winstone , who is one of my favourite british actors of all time , and i ' m really excited about working with nick love in what i feel will be a challenging role for me to play .\nso i would say to that 16 year old young man who has always wanted to be a great filmmaker , that you will be a great filmmaker whether you go to film school or not . it ' s in you and that ' s a rare commodity and don ' t let anyone any institution rob you of your passion .\n4 ) if i was sure i wanted to become a film composer , i would move to los angeles ( possibly a smaller film or media market like new york or toronto , but it really should be l . a . ) and plan on not making money for at least three years . if you cannot scrape together enough savings or family goodwill to do that , the choices are to get some unrelated job ( i . e . waiter ) to pay the rent , or to get work in a related field of movie music\u2014anything from answering phones at an agency to ( preferably ) working at the \u201csupport staff\u201d level of orchestration , production for an established composer or studio . for this you can try cold - calling the companies ( hello , mr . google ) and human resource departments of the studios . over this period of time i would try to piece together my own relationships with other up - and - coming people so as to take whatever job i could , and build whatever relationship i could\u2014to gain experience and build a resume and demo reel .\nplan z undoubtedly draws comparisons to other zombie films that have had the great pleasure of gracing our screens . first and foremost we have the title , which will be likened to marc forster \u2018s epic picture world war z . next having to be armed and dangerous , one of the weapons of choice is a cricket bat , which as we know is an iconic tool from edgar wrights fantastical zombie flick shaun of the dead . finally , we are presented with derivatives from danny boyles 28 days later . although eerie and beautiful , the musical score from alexis french is not all too dissimilar from john murphy\u2019s masterpiece . in addition , near to the beginning of the film , we are presented with the title \u201828 days after infection\u2019 .\nit ' s a seemingly kooky , far - fetched premise with an initial air of inevitability . but once this measured film kicks in , predictability falls away , sending michal on a twisty , awkward , darkly humorous and emotionally raw march toward the chuppah . did i mention the atypical michal runs a mobile petting zoo and knows her way around snakes ?\nwhile not necessarily as pop punk as other bands on this list , sugar ray still had one of the greatest and most baffling movie cameos in an offensively underrated film that turns 15 this year . the live action scooby - doo movie had not only the best early 2000s cast in sarah michelle gellar , freddie prinze jr , linda cardellini and matthew fucking lillard , but a stunning soundtrack of pop punk , reggae and hip - hop . sugar ray feature as a band performing on the island whose members are possessed , because that is the plot . mark mcgrath ' s appearance as a possessed creep making eyes at daphne , along with scooby - doo ' s cast and long term relationship with simple plan , mark it as the peak of early 2000s high art .\nbaumbach\u2019s muse and frequent collaborator , greta gerwig , also gives the film a feeling of familiarity as the title character . we\u2019ve seen her play a version of maggie many times before ; it is her bread and butter . maggie is guileless and enthusiastic\u2014one sharp - tongued character aptly describes her as \u201ca little bit stupid\u201d\u2014which gives a purity to her fumbling attempts toward maturity and stability .\nmeet myles and brody , best friends and total opposites . myles is a hopeless romantic looking for mr . right . brody is a sexy player on the hunt for mr . right now . these two friends make a plan that they ' ll be together if both of them are still single in a decade . nearly ten years later and still alone , both friends will do whatever it takes to avoid becoming a couple .\nduring michal\u2019s month - long search for a spouse , she enlists the help of two different matchmakers , goes on a series of disastrous blind dates and finds an unexpected connection with a charming but utterly unsuitable pop star \u2014 all while dismissing pleas by concerned friends and family members that she reconsider her risky plan . as the day of the ceremony grows closer and no suitor appears , michal puts everything on the line to find happiness .\nand wave your arms in front of the london symphony orchestra\u2014i would venture that not even john williams experiences at the moment he is doing it , so preoccupied as he must be with the work that needs to get done at any given moment and problems ranging from ( i am making this up ) a scene he needs to score the next day to the fact he doesn\u2019t want to take a long plane ride home . we tend to experience romance as a sense of abstract anticipation , briefly upon the moment it happens , and then in retrospect\u2014by which time we are interested in the next thing . if you want to become a film composer , plan on putting more of an emphasis on networking than you might think , but keep a positive attitude and take the long view of the career you are trying to build .\nduring michal\u2019s month -

( i wonder if maggie has seen \u201c crossing delancey . \u201d i suspect ms . miller has . )\nbetween her first and second features burshtein , an advocate for opportunities for orthodox women filmmakers , has acquired a nimble mastery of rom - com structure and pacing . the wedding plan fizzes with zany energy as michal tumbles her way through a parade of unsuitable suitors , among them a guy with an outlandish rationale for refusing to look at prospective brides , and an israeli pop idol ( oz zehavi ) whom she bumps into on a quick trip to ukraine to pray at the grave of a famous rabbi .\nblink and you ' ll miss it ( lol ) but tom , mark , and travis all appear in the first american pie film for a good few seconds , initially playing the tail end of a song before enjoying a non - consensual , webcam sex broadcast and hanging out with a monkey . not very cool behaviour , even in 1999 , but literally nothing has ever made more sense than blink - 182 being the dick in a pie band .\nmany of the props used in the film were local items : for example the feed store calendar ( used in the scene\nare you mean to tell me that there were five weeks last month ?\n) is the state bank of delano anniversary calendar ( current at the time of filming ) which featured photos of historic buildings ( some torn down ) in the town ( and town ' s past ) , hence its rustic addition of the prop to the feed store .\nthis short documentary features a portrait of ottawa in the mid - 20th century , as the nascent canadian capital grew with force but without direction . street congestion , air pollution , and rail traffic were all the negative results of a city that had grown without being properly planned . french architect and urban designer jacques gr\u00e9ber stepped in to create a far - sighted plan for the future development of ottawa . with tracks moved , factories relocated , and neighbourhoods redesigned as separate communities , ottawa became the capital city of true beauty and dignity we know today .\nhas ms . miller \u2014 the astringently feminist writer and director of \u201c personal velocity \u201d and \u201c the private lives of pippa lee \u201d \u2014 made a late - period woody allen movie ? well , no . what she has done is slyly subvert a ubiquitous paradigm . she turns a standard male fantasy inside out . the movie , after all , is not about john\u2019s self - esteem . it\u2019s about maggie\u2019s plan , which is to say about the comedy of her efforts to manage and anticipate the unruly logic of her own desires and everybody else\u2019s .\n\u2019s protagonist is a deeply religious woman , the film is not about religion , says burshtein . \u201cit is a journey of faith , \u201d she explains . \u201canyone can relate to michal\u2019s dilemma . the fact that she is religious is only set dressing . faith has nothing to do with religion . it\u2019s about being either a believer or a nonbeliever . do you believe in good ? do you believe that everything is possible ? these are not questions of religion . it\u2019s a journey we all take and i think this is why people all over the world have enjoyed\nin the no man ' s land between good charlotte ' s only ok first album and reaching mainstream success with the young and the hopeless was not another teen movie . one of chris evans ' earliest and best works , the cloud of joel gallen froth parodied teen films from american pie to sixteen candles to cruel intentions . it also had , as you might expect , a lengthy prom scene . keen for money and literally any level of exposure , up - and - coming pop punk sweeties good charlotte appeared onstage for all the teens , covering\nif you leave\n,\nfootloose\nand\nput your head ( s ) on my shoulder\n. despite good charlotte literally saying on their first record that they wanted to be ,\non the movie screen\n, they have still been questioned throughout their career about\nselling out\n, to which benji madden has said ,\nwe didn ' t have money and we wanted it\n. and that ' s it - when a film , any film , wants to offer you a load of money to do pop punk covers of teen movie classics for five minutes , why the fuck wouldn ' t you ?\ni will close with this advice : everything i have ever observed in my life , whether it was trying to publish a film music magazine or have a romantic relationship , the aspirational notions of what the experience would be like were quickly thrown out the window in favor of the realities of what it is like . the sooner you embrace the realities , face them head on and actively strategize for the day - to - day life that is front of you , the sooner you can start to achieve your goals . the romantic notion of what it would be like to be john williams\u2014to write music for\nbut \u201cthe wedding plan\u201d doesn\u2019t settle , as the hollywood version of this story might have , for offering a cavalcade of comically wrong men . it holds out a few different prospects for michal and keeps her ( and us ) guessing until the end . it\u2019s a comedy in the shakespearean sense \u2014 we know it will end with a wedding , groom or not \u2014 but ms . burshtein leaves open the possibility that it might be a broken one . the hoped - for marriage isn\u2019t just a test of michal\u2019s happiness but also of her religiosity : a rabbi warns michal against \u201ccounting on miracles , \u201d and wonders what will happen to her faith if she doesn\u2019t find a husband in time .\n\u2014are you thoughtful , interesting , considerate , funny without telling dumb jokes ? very few people have the skills to evaluate the quality of music ( although they can generally tell when it is so amateurish as to be useless ) . they will extrapolate your ability to write good film music from your ability to understand a social situation and say the right thing without being false or patronizing . they honestly won\u2019t know the difference if your music is great or just average , but if they like having you around , they will probably like your music . welcome to hollywood . if i was trying to become a film composer , i would try to get out of the problems i was having as a composer and into the problems of the people who were making the movies\u2014i would try to anticipate their needs and make them feel assured . sometimes it is as simple as providing something before it is asked , and making sure someone knew that your feelings would not be hurt by anything that might happen . this has to be done delicately because it can be passive - aggressive to say , \u201cdon\u2019t worry , my feelings aren\u2019t hurt . \u201d the best way to show that your feelings are not hurt is to get yourself to the emotional point where your feelings honestly are\nin jc calciano ' s novelization of the screenplay , he reveals several significant plot elements that are not covered in the film , including the origins of brody ' s resistance to commitment . myles and brody initially met in their college years , thrown together as friends when they found their respective boyfriends were having an affair . burned by the experience , brody swore off dating from that point on . in addition , the iconic photograph of myles and brody , captured the day they met , is revealed to have been taken by myles ' boyfriend at the time , after introducing him to brody , who was the boyfriend ' s best friend .\na tight - knit group of bank robbers made up of former army mates from eastern europe plan to break into the swiss credit bank . a closed off group , who , in following the death of one of their own are forced to recruit a new member . the new recruit , professional thief victor ( alain hern\u00e1ndez , spanish affair 2 sff16 ) , is tasked with the most dangerous and vital job of all : breaking through the vault\u2019s walls . as the pressure escalates , the group begins to fracture from within . on the other side of the law , a single - minded detective ( tosar ) is hot on their trail and now has a small window to catch them before their most dangerous heist yet .\nthe wedding plan\nis not your mother ' s rom - com , even if it may start out that way . michal ( noa koler ) is a 32 - year - old orthodox jewish woman in jerusalem whose fianc\u00e9 , gidi ( erez drigues ) , announces that he doesn ' t love her . crushed , yet bound and determined to get married anyway , the lonely michal decides to keep her planned wedding date ( 22 days away , on the eighth night of hanukkah ) ; pay up with shimi ( amos tamam ) , the bemused and dashing owner of the banquet hall she ' s already reserved ; send out invitations , and put her faith in god that a suitable groom will appear in time .\nand composed the music for a host of other pictures ; his work is critically acclaimed , commercially successful and widely enjoyed by soundtrack collectors . he is represented by richard kraft . of this writing , i saw him last weekend and he is essentially the same nice , smart and considerate fellow who called me in 1994 . the moral of the story ? people do become successful ; it doesn\u2019t hurt to know the next big director in film school ; and having a positive , thoughtful personality\u2014and being nice whether you are talking a fanzine - publishing college kid or the head of a studio\u2014will do wonders for your career . and for that matter , your life .\nthe twist here is that , like the movie ' s writer - director rama burshtein , michal is an orthodox jew by choice . in burshtein ' s beautiful and beguiling 2013 first feature , fill the void \u2014 about a young ultra - orthodox woman in tel aviv who must decide whether or not to marry her dead sister ' s husband \u2014 the director is more interested in conveying the feel of her milieu from within than in making a case for it to the non - religious world . in the wedding plan , too , it ' s taken casually for granted that michal ' s dates come brokered by a matchmaker . which may make her marriage prospects look like a cakewalk to most secular women who are on their own when it comes to finding mr . right .\nmessage received ; i am 51 and i am only now planning a career change into music scoring , which could be total mandess but at 51 you can be 16 again , i reckon ! i think the article was realistic if a tad old - gashioned ; social networking is important , so also is a youtube channel ; of course , ideally you should not upload your fim score effort over a copyrighted film clip , i know a very good composer who created her own spacey trippy videos to accompany her music , built a large following on youtube by airing her excellent sci - fi soundscapes for free , and she is now working . . . you never know who might be watching your channel !"]}

won was simply amazing in the movie . couldn ' t believe she expressed the range of emotions she displayed in the film . park shin - hye was also really impressive , in particular loved her acting job in the court room scenes . i was a lot more neutral on the performance of ryoo seung - ryong . ever since dustin hoffman in\nrain man ,\ni have had a personal dislike of regular actors portraying people with mental disabilities - kind of too hammy for me to watch . but , he was ok and i didn ' t really think too much about his performance by the second half . my big gripe with the film is the later portions of the film . it ' s too sappy for me personally , but for others it might be a lot more touching . i didn ' t really know where the story would go and this part i enjoyed the most . definitely , not many people will hate this movie and a lot of people will love it . i thought it was a wee bit better than average .\nthe story of the film revolves around a mentally challenged man wrongfully imprisoned for murder , who builds friendships with hardened criminals in his cell . in return , they reunite him with his daughter by smuggling her into the prison .\nnote : there will be some spoilers . there\u2019s no big twist in the end to preserve , but i\u2019ll try to avoid the story\u2019s biggest ( only ? ) secret .\nryu seung - ryong comes back as a fool for his daughter . outsiders not allowed , in room number 7 of the prison where all kinds of criminals are gathered , comes yong - goo , a father with the sense of a 6 - year - old , and ye - seung , his 7 - year - old daughter . the mission of these criminals in room number 7 is to protect these two who can never stay apart for a single moment . will they succeed ? written by anonymous\nthe story of the film revolves around a mentally - challenged man wrongfully imprisoned for murder , who builds friendships with hardened criminals in his cell . in return , they reunite him with his daughter by smuggling her into the prison .\nin miracle in cell no . 7 , our intellectually impaired hero yong - goo is found standing over a dead girl\u2019s body and caught trying to unbutton her pants while the blood still runs out the back of her skull . the viewer is not presented with the facts as to what actually transpired . instead , like the legal system that judges yong - goo , we can only assess things on the surface of what is seen . seemingly driven by quick results , the court hastily imprisons yong - goo after manipulating him into signing a confession . his mental handicap is , in the legal sense , dismissed and used against him behind closed doors to ensure case closure of the young girls death . later on in film his appeal process takes centre stage .\na single father with the mental capacity of a young child is accused of the abduction , assault and murder of a young girl . innocent , but unable to defend himself , he is quickly sentenced to death and hauled off to prison , separated from the treasure in his life , his young daughter yeseung . within the confines of cell no . 7 , his childlike demeanor and pure spirit soon inspire his hardened cellmates to grant him a very special wish . yeseung is snuck into the cell but now they must all be careful not to alert the suspicions of the warden .\nyea - seong as she was hiding at the foot of the door held bong - sik\u2019s hand pleading him not to say anything . and bong - sik might have been emotionally affected or perhaps just another miracle worked its way into bong - sik and he did not say anything to the guard regarding the girl in their cell .\nmiracle in cell no . 7 boasts a stellar ensemble cast that features some of korea\u2019s most prolific working actors . ryu seung - ryong , who is red hot after the successes of last year\u2019s all about my wife and masquerade , heads the proceedings as the wrongly convicted father . showing off his versatile ability as a performer , ryoo strikes just the right balance in the kind of role that has in the past spelt disaster for even some of the most talented thespians . bouncing off him and adding an array of colorful characters to the proceedings are veteran supporting players such as oh dal - soo , who has appeared in a great number of the best korean films of the past decade , who is on great form as the cell boss , while others such as kim jung - tae , park won - sang , jung man - sik , kim ki - chun and jung jin - young fill out the terrific cast .\nsociety may not always have our best interests at heart . laws and regulations are tangled with bureaucracy and riddled with a rigidity that often leaves the individual alone and unrepresented . modern korean cinema has embraced the depiction of such societal frustrations , often choosing to downplay authority figures while indulging melodramatics . favorable genres such as the seasonal horror and persistent gangster flicks , consistently contain themes of an inauthentic authorial agency that subverts social authority . the results of such threads can easily be seen in this year\u2019s highest grossing korean film miracle in cell no . 7 , an entertaining and emotionally charge film that scores big on presentation , but failed to attend to the enriching details that makes a story memorable .\nthis movie is the most amazing drama movie i have ever watched . when my friends told me that this one made them cry a lot , i tried my best to find a copy . at first , i was sad because the copy that i have downloaded doesn ' t have a subtitle . but even if there ' s no subtitle , and that i watched it with pure korean language , i still watched it and bravo ! it ' s true that action speaks louder than words , ' cause it was still able to make me cry a lot . i have never cried that much . i never thought i would find a movie as touching as this ! awesome ! i want drama movies to be as touching as miracle in cell no . 7 ! 100 thumbs up !\nthen a box is delivered to cell number 7 , it was from the chief . and inside the box was yea - seong . all of them were surprised . yong - gu was brought to the chief\u2019s office and the chief was still cold but yong - gu thanked him for what he did .\nthis is a good example that being good has no exemptions . . . you don ' t have to be perfect to show that . .\nthe premises is simple - an intellectually disabled father is found guilty for a murder that he didn ' t commit and throughout it all his daughter , ye seung stuck by him . he is sentence to prison and placed in cell no . 7 with inmates . he is treated badly at first because of the fact that he was charged with the murder and rape of a child . though as the story progresses people begin to realise that a guy like this couldn ' t have possibly done something atrocious as that !\nwhoa . finally , the questions in my mind was answered by your comments specially in this synopsis . thank you all guys .\nit is this odd mix of broad comedy and issue - based drama that makes miracle so perplexing and logic - defying . it\u2019s hard to tell if lee has made a social drama ( legal shortcomings and cronyism make headlines in korea ) disguised as a goofy comedy or a comedy with an undercurrent of righteous anger . either way , the film wouldn ' t work at all if it wasn\u2019t packed with engaging performances by some of korea\u2019s most reliable second - stringers . ryu ( war of the arrows ) waffles between caricature and affecting as the handicapped yong - gu , and gal occasionally suffers an overabundance of cute ( though she\u2019s far more interesting than park ) , but the rest of the cast more than compensate for their shortcomings , particularly oh ( the thieves ) and jeong ( the king and the clown ) . miracle in cell no . 7 is one of those films you don\u2019t want to , one you know you shouldn\u2019t , but you just can\u2019t help liking .\nhave never cried this much before while watching a movie . seriously recommended to those who have second thoughts to watch it . no regrets ! ( ' :\nrecently , i was browsing my news feed at facebook , then some of the statuses i am reading are talking about this certain korean movie . it ' s entitled as miracle in cell no . 7 . well at first , i was not really interested about it . i thought , it may be like the usual movie about a prisoner or something . but , my cousin once told me that she already watched the movie and surprisingly , she said that it really made her cry that much . then i thought , maybe i should try watching it . so , i do . and gosh , it almost felt like i cried a million tears . the movie is really heartbreaking . it is very touching . it was totally amazing .\nwhat follows is a story that takes place in two time periods . there\u2019s the modern storyline , where the father\u2019s grown - up daughter works as a lawyer to clear his name\u2014though that takes up far less screen time than the flashback to 1997 , the year that her father was accused and imprisoned in cell no . 7 . it was there that he met the cellmates who would become not only his friends but also family to him and his daughter after they devise an ( admittedly improbable ) plan to sneak her into the prison . soon the entire prison population joins in the effort to try and save the innocent man from being executed , culminating in a heart - rending and revelatory masterpiece which manages to shine a spotlight on humanity at its best and at its unbelievable , infuriating worst .\nin the cell , yea - seong asked the cell boss to read him a book . we learned that cell boss is an illiterate . he does not know how to read and write and unknowingly his cellmates totally insulted him . bong - sik also has a baby on the way and he also wants to bring his baby inside the prison but was told off by the boss . the boss even said whispering to bong - sik to avoid being overheard by yea - seong that is he is envious then get a death sentence too ( this is yong - gu\u2019s verdict ) .\ntwo monster sized local hits powered the box office in late january and early february . leading the pack was the comic drama miracle in cell no . 7 , which took 4 . 6 million admissions in two weeks on the back of strong word - of - mouth . this is the equivalent of more than us $ 30 million , and the film is continuing to do well as it heads into its third week . distributed by n . e . w . , the work tells the story of a man with the mental capabilities of a six - year - old who is put into a prison cell together with a group of notoriously tough criminals . eventually , they work together to try to reunite the man and his young daughter . ryu seung - ryong , who enjoyed success in the 2012 comedy all about my wife , plays the lead character of yong - gu , together with an ensemble cast of experienced actors . it is directed by lee hwan - kyung , whose three previous films he was cool ( 2004 ) , lump of sugar ( 2006 ) , and champ ( 2011 ) enjoyed variable success , but nothing on the level of this new film .\nprincess shin hye will be playing the daughter role of seung ryong ? ? no leading man for our princess shin hye ? can ' t wait to see this movies .\ni watched this movie today and i was really sad at the ending . i was hoping somehow miracle might happen and yong gu might be alive but no its tragedy that he was dead already . am okay with that yong gu is dead but what i couldn\u2019t take it was that though hisinnocence was proven but still no punishment was given to detectives who are all responsible for an innocent man\u2019s death . also that piece of garbage head of police was not punished . all they do in the end is just forgive his crimes but what about the innocent life they have taken . thanks for the detailed review and summary\nthe chief noticed the missing child in the picture and had the suspicion that she is kept in the prison . the guard is checking the cell for the child . and it was funny how they tried to hide but they were caught in the end , and yong - gu beaten again under the rain was sent to solitary confinement . and yea - seong was sent back to the orphanage .\nunfortunately the bus left without yea - seong , and they were left with no choice but to keep her in their cell . at night , yea - seong is saying sorry to her father because she asked for the sailor moon bag which became the cause of all the misfortune . but the father only said that he will buy the bag once he gets out of there . the child told her father to be sure to speak to the judge carefully and clearly one word at a time . the design of the fluorescent lamp cover is a beautiful illusion of the moon and stars for the prisoners inside their cell .\nwhere is the conflict then in this tale ? again , like so many other korean films \u201cmiracle\u201d locates its friction in public authority and the system it serves . both the lives of yong - goo and ye - seung are without much cause for concern ( outside of them not physically being together ) , and it is only later that their future is really threatened . simply put , \u201cmiracle in cell no . 7\u201d is actually less about a father - daughter relationship than it is about victims of authority . it\u2019s the handicapped man versus the system here , the individual who has nothing but love in his heart and the forces at large that prevent him from enacting that passion . corrupt and unprofessional policeman abuse his disposition , beating him to his knees to confess to a crime he didn\u2019t commit . evidence , due course , justice is dispensed and openly disregarded and manipulated with the facade of democracy there for all to see . it matters not whether he did or didn\u2019t murder the girl , only that yong - goo\u2019s soft mind was malleable enough to pressure him into submitting to the regulations and expectations of the legal process . this , unfortunately , reduces ye - seung to nothing more than a plot hinge , an empty narrative device whose only function is to embody this simple man\u2019s desire .\nshe has more than 5 years of professional experience , having worked with reliance entertainment and radio 1 in legal advisory roles . she holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in law from pravin gandhi college of law with a diploma in cyber law from asian school of cyber laws . ruchi engages in various extra - curricular activities . she loves dancing and has won many accolades in numerous dance competitions .\nwaoh . . . great storyline , directing and acting . . . so much passion . . . i ' ve never seen such gem in bollywood and hollywood cinemas . . . . zers is no one who can challenge ze south korean cinema . . .\nlater there was fire in the prison and in the midst of it the chief was trapped in a room with the perpetrator of the fire . yong - gu saved the chief , he carried him on his back and despite inhaling so much smoke he was still more concerned with the chief saying \u201chelp him , our chief help him please\u201d . and then another miracle happened . this was the start of the chief to see yong - gu in a different light and began to question if he was really a kidnapper and murderer .\none of the best movie . . . sad story and makes audience in tears\nwhile he was in prison , yea - seong was brought to an orphanage .\nryu seung ryong is nothing short of amazing in this one . highly recommended !\namen . i watched my fair share of tearjerkers but miracle no7 was too manipulative . it was too obvious even for me . i cried ofc but i was also angry at the writers . i cried angry tears ^ ^\nten million moviegoers would represent about one - fifth of the asian country\u2019s population . the family comedy needed to sell 1 . 7 million tickets to break even ; it reached the 10 million plateau on saturday night .\ni watch this movie the last two days in theater , its the premiere one ( don ' t know why its played too late in jakarta ) i went to cinema with my boyfren n my brother , and its just the three of us in the theater . . no one else ! ! i mean really the 3 of us only . . its empty . the movie also not convincing in the beginning , but after i watch it i find myself crying so bad . . such a great movie . .\nwhat i see and feel in this movies is just love in the purest kind . their father and daughter bond was for me the driving force of the story .\ni saw this on exo show time and when i watched i was literally crying my eyes out . but best movie i have ever seen , no american movies can even compare to this one !\nthe hearing is for the re - investigation of a case of the accused lee yong - gu . the prosecutor said that there is no more need for re - investigation because it has been proven in the past that the accused is guilty . yea - seung , the lawyer , defended the accused with the argument that the so - called evidences and confirmed testimonies are the mistake of this trial and must be looked back . the prosecutor is not the one in charge of the case in the past and his defense are based on fraudulent data made up by detectives long ago . the prosecutor asked the same question if the lawyer is the lawyer assigned in the past . she said no , but that she was definitely there .\nutpal holds a postgraduate degree in linguistics from jawaharlal nehru university , delhi and a master\u2019s in business administration from nmims ( narsee monjee institute of management studies . he is a connoisseur of world cinema , and loves interacting with people in his leisure time .\nenjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with prime video .\nlittle ye -

seong grew to love her father\u2019s cellmates and to be loved by them . she colored one of the playboy models stuck on the wall and dressed her up in sailor moon outfit . then she performed sailor moon song and famous line of \u201cin the name of justice\u201d . they all laughed at her cuteness and said that it is what judges say so it must be judge moon . together with her father they danced and sang happily .\ndirector ryoo seung - wan has hit number one at the box office with his latest film . the berlin file brought in 1 . 53 million admissions in its first weekend , marking a new chapter for the korean spy action genre . the film surpassed the two million mark in the shortest time among films that were released in january and february this year .\n@ salma @ lalala -

general sense the reception of a non - christian cultural element or historical fact with a view to adapting it to christianity by means of appropriate interpretation . since such a method implies a philosophical and philological basis of the kind that would not be expected in the new religion before the end of the 2nd cent . , the idea of the ic is embedded in a complex intellectual history , the premises and components of which have to be taken into consideration [ 1 ] . eb\u2026\nthis year , i\u2019ve been returning to my roots and thinking more seriously about the archaeology of the early christian world . i\u2019ve been reading a bunch of the recent work focusing on the intersection of early christian studies and archaeology , and surfing through some of my favorite journals to catch up on recent articles on issues like christianization and the construction of christian landscapes . i was fairly intrigued by troels myrup kristensen\u2019s article in the journal of early christian studies , \u201c landscape , space , and presence in the cult of thekla at miriamlik \u201d and jacqueline sturm\u2019s , \u201c the afterlife of the hephaisteon : the interpretatio

matters of legal import . the topos of simple truth requiring no mediator ( petron . sat . 107 , 15 ) does not apply to the specialist knowledge of astrologers ( cf . divination ) , philologists ( on both : cic . div . 1 , 34 ; 2 , 92 ) and jurists ( cic . leg . 2 , 59 ) . at the end of the republic , the words interpres ( \u2018interpreter\u2019 ) and interpretari ( \u2018to interpret\u2019 ) become conflated into the abstract interpretatio [ 3 . 80ff . , 91ff . ] ; this is already true of legal interpre\u2026\njacqueline sturm\u2019s article on the christianization of the hephaisteion is remarkable for several reasons . first , like the site of miriamlik , the hephaisteion has not seen significant new archaeological investigation for two generations . in fact , there has been little significant archaeological work on the christianization of athens in the last 50 years and most of the more recent scholarship has been a reconsideration of longstanding archaeological evidence with all of its limitations and ambiguities . sturm\u2019s article argues that the centauromachy on the temple\u2019s frieze was susceptible to an interpretatio christiana which saw the battle as the conflict of good versus evil . this led to the temple undergoing a \u201cgentle\u201d conversion to a church in the fifth - century rather than showing evidence for more destructive forms of spoliation and conversion .\nherv\u00e9 ingelbert ' s interpretatio christiana is an extraordinary work . not only is it well crafted and thoroughly researched , but it also takes up the study of the christian transformation of ancient savoirs with unparalleled intellectual energy and scrupulous attention to detail . in this book inglebert succeeds admirably well in living up to his intention of providing a more comprehensive study of the evolution of the cultural encounter between pagan and christian intellectuals than marrou does in his work on ancient christianity . while recognizing the importance of marrou ' s work , inglebert nevertheless sets out to map a significant portion of the intellectual terrain of the ancient world . the six hundred - plus pages that he devotes to this endeavor span a period of roughly nine centuries and draw upon sources from greek , latin , syrian , armenian , and jewish traditions .\n( ic ) is meant in the most general sense the reception of a

2001 pp . 632 . 49 , 42 bf .\neschewing more frequently studied areas such as philosophy , theology , and biblical studies , he concentrates his attention on four areas of ancient learning : cosmography , geography , ethnography , and historiography . though the latter half of the book focuses solely on historiography , inglebert judiciously prepares the ground for this discussion in the first part of the book . his treatment of what the ancients meant by the first three disciplines displays a sensitivity to the different cultural contexts in which these bodies of knowledge arose : linguistic , regional , and social . on the basis of this nuanced discussion , he adopts the model of a filter and assesses the nature of the christian reaction to these disciplines using the fourfold schema of refusal , indifference , synthesis , and original contribution . what emerges in the end is a clear sense of the complementary nature of the four disciplines and the extent to which christians based their appraisal of these disciplines on the foundation of their own familiarity with greek paideia .\ninglebert ' s balanced and illuminating assessment of the christian transformation of ancient learning rests on a complex analysis of the dynamics of this change . on the basis of a preliminary analysis of the christianization of the ancient savoirs of cosmography , geography , and ethnography , the author constructs an intricate argument that requires multiple levels of interpretation . initially , he elaborates the chronological development of the christian transformation of greek paideia as it passed from the greeks to the latins , syrians , and armenians while emphasizing the extent to which the influence of jewish thought and social milieu modified or obstructed the transfer of this knowledge to christians .\nnext , he demonstrates how christian belief provided the means by which christians were able to transform the ancient notion of scientia . in this context , he disputes the claim that parallels can be found between the ancient notion of knowledge and the rationalistic conception of modern science as well as the belief that if no parallels exist , the christian transformation of greek scientia [ end page 433 ] ends in obscurantism . instead , he argues that faith provided epistemological insight into the unifying knowledge of christian wisdom that enabled christians to overcome the conflicting logoi proposed by pagans in their effort to resolve the dilemma of divergent mythological interpretations of the world . and yet , inglebert acknowledges that while the true philosophy of christianity allowed for the possibility of understanding the contents of faith , at times christians depended upon the same unscientific knowledge of the world as the ancients did . reflection on christian exegesis reveals the use christians made of literal and figurative interpretations of scripture to reconcile conflicts between christian belief and classical paideia .\nfinally , inglebert examines in considerable depth what he regards as the most astounding achievement of the christian transformation of ancient thought , namely , the invention of a universal history of humankind that had its roots in the messianic trajectory of christianity and its ongoing dialogue with the pagan world . this . . .\nif you would like to

churches . by the 6th century bishops were often buried inside their cathedral , and other christians followed .\ngiven the plethora of worship locations for various cults , many had fallen into disuse well before the rise of christianity . the establishment of a third century roman military camp in the temple complex at luxor demonstrates an ongoing process of adaptive re - use . obsolete temples often had their stone elements\nfor use in new construciton . many ancient accounts of the manner of conversion of non - christian places of worship into churches are not borne out by subsequent on - site archaeology .\nat the end of the 4th century . initially they were shunned by christians , perhaps because of their pagan associations , but also because their shape did not suit christian requirements :\nto the early church , only one sort of building seemed suitable for christianization : the basilica\n, which had previously always been a secular type of building .\nin rome itself , numerous buildings including pagan temples and other sites were converted into churches , and several major archeological sites owe their preservation to this . on the roman forum alone , the curia iulia or roman senate building ( sant ' adriano in foro ) , the temple of antoninus and faustina ( san lorenzo in miranda ) , and the temple of romulus ( santi cosma e damiano ) were transformed into churches , and the churches of san giuseppe dei falegnami and san pietro in carcere were built above the mamertine prison nearby , where sts . peter and paul were reputed to have been held .\nin rome was once a temple dedicated to the roman gods and it was converted to a roman catholic church dedicated to st . mary and the martyrs . eventually the prime sites of the pagan temples were very often occupied for churches , the church of\n, christianized about 750 , being simply the most obvious example . the basilica of junius bassus was made a church in the late fifth century . however this process did not really begin in rome itself until the 6th and 7th centuries , and was still under way during the\none of the most richly adorned churches , the basilica di san clemente , was , according to christian tradition , built on top of titus flavius clemens ' s private home , as he had allowed early christians to worship in his home , due to having pro - jewish sympathies . the conversion of pre - christian places of worship , rather than their destruction , was particularly true of temples of mithras , a religion that had been the main rival to christianity during the 2nd and 3rd centuries , especially among the roman legions . an early 2nd century mithraeum stands across the roman street from the house and can be visited by visitors . other mithraea have been excavated under churches , such as santa prisca , and santo stefano rotondo .\nseveral churches , especially in rome , are said to have been built on the sites of the earlier burial places of martyrs in the catacombs of rome or elsewhere . the sanctification of burial places , and placing tombs inside churches , was a novelty of christianity , and a break with pagan tradition , where burials were regarded as unclean , and usually only allowed beyond a set distance from a city ' s walls .\nst . peter ' s basilica , the church of the vatican , is traditionally located at the burial place of simon peter , and most scholars parties agree that the basilica was built on top of a large necropolis on the vatican hill . in 1939 , an excavation underneath the grottoes which lie directly under the current basilica , uncovered several surviving roman mausoleums from the necropolis , and in the area directly under the high altar , below the grottoes , the excavators found a structure resembling a temple that they named the aedicula ( meaning little temple ) .\nin greece , the occupation of pagan sites by christian monasteries and churches was ubiquitous .\nallison franz argues that it was only after temples ceased to be regarded as serious cult sites that they were later converted to churches .\nso it was by virtue of necessity rather than in token of a victorious faith that the temples of the old dispensation became the province of the new .\n, during the seventh century , reflecting possible conflict between christians and non - christians .\n) . it was the fourth most important pilgrimage in the eastern roman empire after constantinople , ephessos and thessalonica .\ncassiodorus , the court secretary to the ostrogoth theodoric the great , described in a letter written in a . d . 527 , a fair held at a former pagan shrine of leucothea , in the still culturally greek region of south italy , which had been christianized by converting it to a baptistery ( variae 8 . 33 ) .\n, he began by smashing the sculpture of apollo and the altar that crowned the height .\n. jonas described it further :\nthere stone images crowded the nearby woods , which were honoured in the miserable cult and profane former rites in the time of the pagans\n.\n' s court , an abbey church was built within the heathen site and its\nspectral haunts\n.\nthe notre - dame du taur ( our lady of the bull ) , cathedral church of toulouse , which is famous for the encierro festival of running bulls , is thought by archaeologists to possibly be a converted temple of mithras , whose myth focused on the tauroctony , the killing of a sacred bull .\ncults ; here the problem became one of still further humanizing the divinities of springs , trees and mountains , in order to rob them of their prestige\n.\nin britain , the legendary king lucius , was reported by geoffrey of monmouth , the often unreliable christian chronicler , to have deliberately converted all the old temples to churches . the historical actuality is nowhere more forthrightly discussed than in the famous letter from pope gregory i to mellitus , about to join augustine of kent among the anglo - saxons :\nso when almighty god has led you to the most reverend man our brother bishop augustine , tell him what i have long gone over in my mind concerning the matter of the english : that is , that the shrines of idols amongst that people should be destroyed as little as possible , but that the idols themselves that are inside them should be destroyed . let blessed water be made and sprinkled in these shrines , let altars be constructed and relics placed there : since if the shrines are well built it is necessary that they should be converted from the worship of demons to the service of the true god , so that as long as that people do not see their very shrines being destroyed they may put out error from their hearts and in knowledge and adoration of the true god they may gather at their accustomed places more readily .\nthe british isles and other areas of northern europe that were formerly druidic are still densely punctuated by holy wells and holy springs that are now attributed to some local saint . an example of the pre - christian water spirit is the melusina .\nin britain and many other parts of europe trees were also sometimes seen as sacred or the home of tree spirits . when britain was christianized this resulted in a change of the landscape . in some instances sacred groves were destroyed to discourage belief in tree spirits . one of the most famous of these was the irminsul , whose ancient location is no longer known ( though it may have been located at externsteine ) , was obliterated by charlemagne . another major ancient holy tree was thor ' s oak , which was deliberately desecrated and destroyed by a christian missionary named winfrid ( later canonised as saint boniface ) .\nin britain and the celtic northwest of europe , the divinities of springs were transformed into local saints who were often venerated only at the location of their\nholy well\n.\nsometime toward the end of the fifth century , an abandoned\nmithraeum\nnear present - day motaro , was rebuilt as a church .\nsantiago de compostela is a major site of christian pilgrimage , and said in christian tradition to originate as the burial place of saint james the great ; pilgrims traditionally follow the way of st . james until they reach the cathedral , but then , having visited the church , continue to cape finisterre . the continuation to cape finisterre is regarded by historians as unjustifiable for christian reasons , but finisterre has a prominent pre - christian significance , it was considered to literally be the edge of the world ( hence the name finisterre , meaning end of the world ) , due to it seeming to be the westernmost point of europe ( in reality , even though it juts out to the west , the more subtle cabo da roca holds the honour ) . in pre - christian times , the souls of the dead were believed to trace their way across all europe to finisterre and follow the sun across the sea , and their route , the santa compa\u00f1a , became a significant pilgrimage throughout south western europe . santiago de compostela itself was held to be the place where the dead gathered together , and where their paths finally all joined together for the final stretch of the journey ; one possible etymology of compostela is burial ground , suggesting that even the name derives from the pre - christian belief .\n, the cross served the symbolic function of physical possession that a flag would occupy today . at the\nin 1147 , when a mixed group of christians took the city ,\nwhat great joy and what a great abundance there was of pious tears

play . analysis of the gamers\u2019 posts reveals that there were two aspects to this . however , one aspect of this was formulated from a discourse of frustrated ergodic pleasure articulating an experiential divide between game and film , while the other aspect was not .\nfor barker and brooks , triangulating their findings across three distinct areas allowed them to make observations on what electing to watch a film like judge dredd means in a social and cultural context . this paper now seeks to triangulate its findings on the gamers\u2019 posts , with the research in part two on the status of the franchise and the film makers .\ngamer 113 altered their view of the film after a second viewing . this gamer paid some considerable attention to the question of game to film adaptation :\nthe critical positions identified did orient the reviews in different ways . the research found that each dominant critical position had separate sets of critical concerns . for example , for resident evil fans , being like the game , the quality of game to film adaptations , and the choice of director for the film were the key critical discourses . the film critics were especially concerned with generic identification , the choice of director , the quality of game to film adaptation , and undertaking what i have termed holistic film criticism . the horror film fans main critical discourse centred on the \u2018scariness\u2019 of the film . these findings are now presented in more detail .\n( the 32 buffalo were shot near my great grandmother ' s former homestead , a place the columnist called\nthe middle of a lot of central colorado nothingness ,\nwhich must make denver the center of everythingness . )\ndespite a brief moment of unity across party lines this week , after the mass shooting in which a republican congressman was critically wounded , the media wars surrounding coverage of president donald trump have been getting louder by the day .\ndirector marc levin highlights the recent effects of hyper -

play and film spectatorship were articulated in a number of ways across the sample . these differences centred on several issues : the frustration of ergodic pleasures , the lack of involvement and empathy with the characters in the film compared to those in the games , spatial - temporal features found in the game but not present \u2013 or indeed possible \u2013 in the film adaptation , and the breaking and bending of game rules . the discourses surrounding the frustration of ergodic pleasures are now discussed in more detail .\nbut how were these ergodic expressions articulated ? what were they saying about watching the film and playing the game and the divide that might exist between the two experiences ? their responses indicated four areas in which their talk was concentrated : 1 . investigation of the landscape and narrative progress , 2 . character apathy , 3 . game rules , 4 . physical pleasures .\nlike the gamers who posted from the dominant resident evil fan position , the film critics also had a concern with game to film adaptations . gamer 4 was sceptical about the quality of the film prior to seeing it because \u2018i expected another videogame adapted to the big screen to score what money it could and the end result would be crap\u2019 ( gamer 4 25 november 2002 ) . gamer 31 was concerned about the game to film genre and had been monitoring the development of the production prior to the film\u2019s release :\nbut how did the games\u2019 players respond to this prequel and its game - like features ? were the game - like features enough to overcome any sense of loss or lack of interactivity , or did they , as heiland suggests , respond to the film as an interactive game rather than a non - interactive film ? and if the latter is the case , what would such a response look like ? this paper seeks to explore if there was a palpable sense of a divide between game and film . the following section outlines the methodology utilised in the research .\nthe thematic analysis of the gamers\u2019 posts also revealed that they were also expressing their views about things beyond the text . i think one of the most important points that barker and brooks seek to make is that watching a film is about much more than the film itself . it is about expectation , preparation , and what comes after the viewing experience , how the film viewer makes sense of what they have seen within wider social and cultural contexts . the gamers in my research demonstrated this , too . two of the most consistent discourses across the sample were a concern with the \u2018nascent genre\u2019 of game - to - film adaptation , and the \u2018debate\u2019 about the choice of directors for the project . both discourses required the gamers to go beyond the film , in their critical assessments .\nthematically these gamers were most concerned with \u2018scares\u2019 and the techniques for achieving them . they showed little interest in the game to film discourse so prevalent in the posts of the resident evil fans and the film critics .\nthe biggest issue for those taking up a dominant horror fan position was whether the film provided enough scares . here the horror film fans drew on dual expectations : the scares they had experienced through playing the games and the scares they anticipated from a product they perceived to be a horror film . interestingly , these gamers did not express the same degree of generic confusion expressed by the film critics . these gamers fully anticipated resident evil to be a scary horror film , just as the games were scary survival horror games .\nin the games , zombies , you learn , are best killed with a couple of shots to the head . however , gamer 54 took great exception to the bending of the rules in the film : \u2018the action was boring and stupid there was on real battle with the zombies and in it they just kept shooting them in the chest magazine after magazine in the chest\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 54 3 january 2004 ) .\ngamer 43\u2019s review was interesting . this gamer was surprised by the film because as a game to film adaptation , it was an average film rather than the bad film they were expecting . the film was deemed to be above average for a game to film adaptation . but this gamer and film critic was most interested in replay value : \u2018overall , resident evil is way above average as far as video game to silver screen goes , however the movie itself only provides enough entertainment to cover you watching it maybe 2 or 3 times , after that the movie becomes kinda boring\u2019 . this replay value was observed time and again in the sample and we shall return to this at the end of this study .\nthe post screening q & a included director marc levin , as well as some of the kids featured in the film .\nas observed by rehak , videogames remediate cinema in that they draw on the tendencies and characteristics of their predecessors . in this regard resident evil the game is no different . but it seems that the film did not remediate the videogame effectively for the gamers . many misidentified the film\u2019s genre as action rather than horror . furthermore for the horror film fans , the film failed as horror because of the lack of scares expected in a horror film . but it did not only fail as horror in this respect because the film also failed as a remediation of the survival horror videogame . this failure , as we have seen , can be found in the lack of empathy for the film\u2019s characters , the lack of the pleasures of ergodic activity associated with game - play , and with the lack of the videogame\u2019s distinctive feel .\ngamer 96 also blames the lack of romero\u2019s input on the film . they state : \u2018god , there is no way to convey the terribleness of paul anderson\u2019s crimes\u2026rent a romero film instead . to think romero could have directed this film brings a tear to my eye\u2019 ( gamer 96 19 january 2003 ) .\nin their application of baxandall\u2019s approach , barker and brooks focus their inquiries on judge dredd across three sites : audiences , production and publicity , the film . this research acknowledges the value in this multi - site approach and as a consequence , i also seek to understand the film adaptation of resident evil within the context of the game\u2019s universe , but also within the context of resident evil as a franchise . the aim here then is to contextualise the gamers\u2019 responses to the adaptation in terms of the film - makers aims and within the ongoing metamorphosis and extension of the resident evil universe ( for fans ) , or franchise ( for capcom ) .\npinedo , isabelle , \u2018recreational terror : postmodern elements of the contemporary horror film\u2019 , in the journal of film and video , vol . 44 , no 1 -

site message board ( imdb ) . in this context , the second most prevalent critical position taken up by the gamers analysed in the sample is the film critic position . of the 118 posts sampled , twenty one gamers expressed their dominant critical views from the film critic position . when combined with those taking up this position in a secondary capacity , some sixty gamers occupy a film critic position . given that the subject of their reviews is a film adaptation of a game and the platform for their views the imdb , it is no surprise that the most prevalent type of critical position is the combination of resident evil fans and film critics ( thirty one posts ) .\nthe findings demonstrated that almost a quarter ( 27 gamers ) of the sample expressed either ergodic pleasures or ergodic frustrations in viewing the film . of these , 18 gamers had occupied the dominant critical position of the resident evil fans , whereas five were primarily film critics , two were videogame fans , and the horror and zombie film fans each had one gamer , respectively .\npat buchanan will tell you it ' s been building for almost 50 years :\nthat sort of really began in earnest in november of 1969 when nixon , after he gave his famous great ' silent majority ' speech , was attacked by the networks immediately .\ngamer 15 took a gamble on the film in spite of being disappointed by game to film adaptations in the past : \u2018only got it because of the videogame series . i knew i was taking a chance because usually video games made into movies really suck\u2019 ( gamer 15 25 february 2003 ) . gamer 49 also decided to give the film a try because they had played the games but had low expectations because of previous game to film adaptations . they write :\ntable 1 demonstrates how the majority of gamers adopted more than one critical position in their critical reviews of the film . by far the most prevalent dominant position is the resident evil fan position \u2013 seventy one of the 118 gamers . across the whole sample , being a resident evil fan is clearly an important critical position for fans to emphasise . if the 118 posts , eighty five gamers expressed the resident evil fan critical position when dominant and secondary positions are combined .\ngiven the pre - existence of this universe , anderson\u2019s approach was to make this first resident evil film a prequel . the action takes place a month before the first game and seeks to provide a history for the franchise . the problem for anderson was to satisfy fans by incorporating enough from the game world but providing something fresh for fans and non - gamer film audiences . in this respect , the film has come under intense criticism for its deviation from the parameters of the orginary game . however , anderson defended his decision by explaining that the film seeks to also bridge a gap between the film and the first and second games . as anderson argues :\nthe bicycle film festival hits minneapolis july 8 - 12 , with cycling related films and events at different locations during the week .\nsometimes , [ anderson ] uses a long shot , usually from above , that shows protagonist and audience surrogate milla jovovich walking across the screen , and the impression it leaves deliberately recalls the exploration sequences of a videogame . the audience will probably be reaching for their control pad during these scenes since the camera angles and shot durations , as well as the placement of scare scenes , have been ripped directly from the resident evil game . this feeling that the film more closely resembles an interactive game than a non - interactive film ( heilman 09 . 04 . 02 urltoken ) .\ngamer 50 sought to place the film within the canon of game to film adaptations by claiming it to be \u2018one of the better\u2019 video game to film adaptations . but it is clear this gamer does not expect much . they write : this movie is no great movie but it is a worthy video game movie\u2019 ( gamer 50 1 november 2003 ) . gamer 72 articulates the same opinion : \u2018ok , video games to films ? not very good admitted . super mario bros attests to that\u2019 ( gamer 72 27 january 2004 ) . for gamer 76 , the problem with game to film adaptations is the ratings system which they suggest is responsible for turning r rated games into pg13 films for children . in a lengthy discussion of this topic , gamer 76 argues :\nsome gamers viewed it as a science fiction film , like gamer 68 who opens their review by labelling the film for the potential reader : anyone who likes sci - fi thrillers that at the end make you want to stop crime the kick ass way , this is a movie for you\u2019 ( gamer 68 5 november 2004 ) . another gamer claims the film is \u2018billed as action / thriller / science fiction / horror film and proceeds to detail the portions of the film where the perceived different genres dominate ( gamer 101 21 august 2004 ) . this generic confusion can also be seen in gamer 115\u2019s post . they argue :\nthe tomatometer score \u2014 based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics \u2014 is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .\ngames\u2019 visual devices used in the film were noted by one gamer . gamer 93 likened the camera work to shots from the game . they state :\nsimon isaacs is leading the charge to the playground . with his website fatherly , he wants to change how fathers across the country approach parenting . and he ' s not alone : the largest group of new dads in this country are now millennials . tony dokoupil reports on the changing role of fatherhood and how modern dads differ from fathers of previous generations .\nthe final discourse of frustrated ergodic pleasure identified in this research was the discourse of physical pleasures . barker and brooks noted that physical pleasures \u2013 being done to by a film - formed a prominent vocabulary of involvement and pleasure for their interviewees . these physical aspects were observed in my sample . the horror film fans , for example , were primarily concerned with the generation and quality of \u2018scares\u2019 in the film .\ndecades later , brother and sister elihu and soween are growing up learning the ways of their new , tightly controlled society . as they begin to glimpse the cracks in the system , elihu falls for the daughter of two radical mothers , risking fatal disease and threatening to ignite a bloody revolution . the divide is a searing vision of a future defined by brutal repression , forbidden love and seething insurrection .\ngamer 20 articulated clearly and concisely the activity required of the resident evil game - player and found that the film attempted to work for the spectator in the same way . they state :\naside of this visual continuity , another ergodic aspect involves the differences between the way the film and the games established the rules of combat . for example , the viewer only has to see the bullet - time and slow motion kung fu of the matrix ( 1999 ) once to establish that these seemingly fantastical manoeuvres are within the rules of the film that the audience are tutored to accept .\ni cannot believe powderfinger never got huge in the us . i am a middle age ( 47 ) classic rock fan . . . and powderfinger is , in my estimation , on par or better than u2 , pearl jam . . . any of the all time great bands . . . . silverchair is pretty good too .\nthe discourse concerning anderson\u2019s game fan / player credentials can be encapsulated in this statement : the film is so unlike the game that anderson could not have played the game and is masquerading as a fan in order to convince resident evil\u2019s fan community to accept his prequel and to watch his film .\nthose reading the film from a dominant position of the resident evil fan were more unified , if not wholly so , in their disappointment in the lack of characters from the games . gamer 23 is fairly balanced in their review of the film but notes that the film does have its \u2018downfall\u2019 in the lack of characters from the game . gamer 60 expressed disappointment at the lack of characters from the games and a sense of bafflement as to why such fundamental game features were missing from the adaptation . they state :\nfor this gamer , then , only by playing the games previously can you re - experience this play through the film . feel in this respect adds a new dimension to the sensation of \u2018losing oneself in a film\u2019 . feel is a more tactile proposition in games than in films .\nin january 2005 i finally watched the first film adaptation of the popular game franchise , resident evil . i was not sure what to expect , or what i should be expecting . the divide between watching a film and playing the game seemed like a void and i had no idea how to cross it . after viewing i still had no idea and turned to the imdb resident evil message board to see what others had made of it . and i found similar confusion , but also significant disagreement . i also found , however , that the respondents seemed to have agreed on what they should be disagreeing about . i found this fascinating and so this research project was born .\ngamer 105 cut right to the chase : \u2018the problem with resident evil is that it is basically an action movie masquerading as a horror movie\u2019 ( gamer 105 7 july 2003 ) . a belief that horror has been sacrificed for action was observed several times in the sampled posts and was a constant discourse \u2013 mostly for film critics , but it was observed across all dominant positions . i suggest that expectations drawn from playing resident evil \u2013 a survival horror game \u2013 fuelled these criticisms .\nthe film itself isn\u2019t particularly faithful to the game , but i don\u2019t think it could be really . the game involved you exploring a mansion alone , fighting off beasties and solving puzzles . good idea for a game . bad idea for a film\u2019 ( gamer 28 14 april 2003 ) .\nfor producer bernd eichinger , some scenes in the film are \u2018very close to shots in the game\u2019 ( eichinger 2002 ) , although capcom executive and head of production , yoshiki okamoto sees the relationship between the game and the film in a different way . for okamoto the cinematic elements of the game make it an exciting possibility for adaptation into film . he states : \u2018we\u2019ve been told that the game contains movie elements and we hoped that the game would become a movie as soon as possible\u2019 ( okamoto 2002 ) . the camerawork has been interpreted by critics as resembling some of the angles in the game . heilman ( 2002 ) for example , states in his review of the film :\nthis paper is concerned with how those who had played resident evil \u2013 from here described as gamers \u2013 and who had written about the film had responded to it . however , to provide a fuller analysis , it seemed necessary to contextualise what they were saying with the film maker\u2019s intentions and within the context of the resident evil franchise . as a consequence , this paper asks : how did gamers respond to the adaptation of resident evil in film ? in addressing this question , the paper raises further questions : how far did the film\u2019s makers seek to adapt elements of the game and did the film maker\u2019s adaptations meet the expectations of the gamers ? what does it mean to post on the imdb resident evil message board ? what discourses can be identified in the gamers\u2019 writing and how do they connect with the wider social world ?\na century from now england is hit by a deadly contagion . society is decimated as contact between men and women becomes fatal . under the dictates of an elusive preacher , an unthinkable solution is enforced . separated by the divide , the adult survivors are segregated by gender with men wearing white as a mark of their purity and women \u2013 still infected \u2013 clothed in black as a sign of their sin .\nthe range of responses to the choice of director for the project stem not from anderson\u2019s skills in the direction of the film . rather , the discourses articulated demonstrate the knowledge fans brought with them to their viewing of resident evil .\nfor some gamers , paul anderson and game to film adaptation go hand in hand . for gamer 88 the fact that paul anderson , director of the mortal kombat game to film adaptation , had been given the go - ahead as the director of resident evil almost reduced them to tears . this gamer states :\nthree issues around the choice of director emerged from the analysis of the posts by dominant resident evil fans . the first discourse around direction centres on anderson as a director of previously poor films and his work on mortal kombat was especially panned by this group of gamers . anderson is seen as a game to film specialist and as we have seen in the previous section , that is not something that would impress most resident evil fans . gamer 81 is something of a rarity in that anderson\u2019s game to film work is appreciated : \u2018paul w s anderson has made another great video game movie\u2026the best videogame based movie since the original mortal kombat \u2019 ( gamer 81 4 september 2003 ) .\nmany of those gamers who adopted the dominant resident evil fan position in their posts admitted that they had low expectation of the film because of previous game to film adaptations . this critical position was the most often taken up dominant position . however , the resident evil fans were perhaps the most divided on the success of the film and this can be seen in analysis of their expectations . to clarify this point , i have compiled a table of expectations ( see table 2 below ) .\nfor gamer 116 a sense of generic confusion did undermine the film\u2019s success : \u2018to think of this film as being a horror movie is a gross miscarriage of justice . this is more an action - adventure movie than anything and has nothing to do with horror at all\u2019 ( gamer 116 ) . this gamer made every effort to feel scared by the film , but failed : i tried to feel scared throughout the movie , but there was nothing to make me feel scared\u2019 ( ibid ) . gamer 25 expressed the same frustrations in relation to genre expectations and scares : \u2018you call this a horror film more like action film there was little gore not even scary\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 25 3 march 2003 ) .\nthese gamers\u2019 discussions focussed most closely on the game / film comparison but they were weighted heavily in favour of the originary text and tended to end with an overall verdict on the worthiness of the adaptation . a number of key discourses emerged . these were a concern with how far the film was like or not like the game , how far an adaptation of the game in film should reflect the game , the perceived poor quality of previous films adapted from games and in relation to this last point , the instatement of anderson as the director rather than romero .\nthe fans did not express a consistent view of the adaptation\u2019s storyline . responses on this issue tended to be divided between two positions : resident evil purists who rejected the film\u2019s attempt to historicise and contextualise the resident evil story and who resisted , ignored or misread the film\u2019s prequel intentions , and those resident evil fans who believed that a game replica in film would not work . in terms of the former , gamers 60 , 6 and 41 comments are typical . the language used to describe the story included words like \u2018warped\u2019 , \u2018twisted\u2019 , and \u2018distorted\u2019 . gamer 60 disliked the film\u2019s story and suggested that the reason for their negative view of the story relates to their expectations drawn from the game . gamer 60 states :\nas we have seen , game - to - film adaptations do not offer instant pleasures for these gamers because of the connection the films have to their favourite games . they have to negotiate and overcome expectations of yet another poor game - to - film adaptation . so , it is perhaps unsurprising that some of the gamers responded to anderson as the director of choice in this way . anderson directed mortal kombat , one of the first game - to - film adaptations and in a sense he represents a kind of poster - child for the nascent genre . this status carries with it all the associations and ( low ) expectations of game - to - film adaptation . in this way , this discourse places anderson on the most hated lists of many a gamer as a representative of all that is bad with game - to - film adaptations . this means that this discourse is actually an extension of the game - to - film discourse discussed above .\nfor starters , there is no - one in the film who is actually from the game\u2026milla jovovich ruins it too . the entire film focussed around her and what involvement she has with umbrella . i can tell you that \u2013 none ! she is the main character and yet is not in any of the games\u2019 ( gamer 67 22 november 2004 ) .\ntwo of the horror film fans linked the choice of director to the scares they anticipated . gamer 42 argued : \u2018i feel this movie would have been more horrific if mr romero had written the screenplay and directed the film\u2019 ( gamer 42 8 may 2003 ) . gamer 69 on the other hand liked the scares anderson achieved in the adaptation of mortal kombat and was satisfied with the scares in resident evil : \u2018just like with mortal kombat from the computer game , paul anderson has once again succeeded in creating an amazingly horrifying yet interesting film\u2019 ( gamer 69 31 october 2004 ) .\nin the first part of this paper , i established a set of similarities and differences between games and films . this was done for two reasons . firstly , i wanted to understand more fully the differences between games and films . and secondly , i wanted to begin to map any potential experiential divide i might encounter in the gamers\u2019 posts . it was revealed in the findings that almost a quarter of gamers commented on the game - play experience and the differences between game - play and spectatorship .\nthe\u2019 manson score\u2019 is then commended and then gamer 2 ponders the relation between the ending and the resident evil games , pointing out that they could probably do with \u2018a trivia site\u2019 to help them fill in the gaps in their knowledge of the resident evil universe . gamer 2 ends in characteristic film critic style , by pondering also whether they would recommend this film to others :\nas suggested , this physical dimension also alludes to what the game is doing to them . mostly , the game brings shocks , scares , and jumps , and the film was measured by gamer 7 in this respect : \u2018both the game and the movie are edge of the seat fright fests that will definitely get your heart racing\u2019 ( gamer 7 9 december 2002 ) . similarly gamer 27 measures the film\u2019s success through \u2018jumps\u2019 but found it wanting : \u2018i was expecting a spooky mansion with plenty of jumps and chilling special effects . whilst playing the videogame i jumped hundreds of times and i jumped no times during this film\u2019 ( gamer 27 23 april 2003 ) . for gamer 58 the film and the game physically captured them in different ways . for them the film \u2018\u2026doesn\u2019t make you jump from your chair , instead it glues you to it\u2019 ( gamer 58 13 november 2003 ) .\nthe discourse surrounding the romero / anderson story is also interesting in the context of barker and brooks\u2019 findings . the authors argue that conflicts and stresses surround films and these can have an impact on audience expectations and indeed , on their decisions as to whether to view the film or not ( ibid : 232 ) . i think this argument is borne out very well in the case of my research and the gamers\u2019 views on the sacking of romero from the film and his replacement with anderson . this decision was rarely viewed as anything other than a mistake by the gamers sampled . for them , the promise of realising the intertextual relations between the game , the film and romero\u2019s status as author of the living dead films was hard to resist and the disappointment expressed by these gamers when they learned that he had been fired was palpable . the discourse articulated here , then , is best described in this statement : the film partly failed as film and as adaptation because romero was the natural choice of director and he was fired .\nit was clear from the analysis that the gamers took up a number of different positions in their critical appraisals of the film . by critical position , i mean the specific critical angle the posts were coming from . were they more concerned with how the film compared to the game , or did their critical reviews centre on reviewing the film itself ? furthermore , the gamers typically adopted more than one critical position . however , in the vast majority of these had a preferred or dominant position that could be determined from the analysis of their critical views . the critical positions identified in the research were : resident evil fans , film critics , horror film fans , zombie film fans and videogames fans . it is important to note that a distinction has been drawn between resident evil fans and videogame fans because not all of the videogames fans were also fans of the game . they were , primarily , fans of the form ( videogames ) rather than the content ( the game ) or in some cases , other types of content ( other videogames ) and those articulating from this critical position made this clear in their posts . table 1 below shows the different types of critical positions observed in the analysis .\nthe often overlooked fact that as a re gamer , you usually have at least in part a lot of information in the world around you . you know things you couldn\u2019t otherwise know . for example , how things work , maps , where things are , etc . this movie does a great job of keeping the viewer informed in this manner , without going so far as to ruin the surprises\u2019 ( gamer 20 10 february 2003 ) .\nin addition to these game - like features , the film also sought to emulate the investigative mode of the game . this is done through the use of labyrinths . as set designer , richard bridgland explained : \u2018when you play the game you never know what is going to be around that corridor\u2019 ( bridgland 2002 ) . one of the stars , michelle rodriguez reiterates this . her take on the narrative flow of the film mirrors that of the game . she says : \u2018you have to solve things at every turn you take\u2019 ( rodriguez 2002 ) . bridgland makes clear the intentions of the film makers in tackling the adaptation . he states :\nthis study has attempted to understand gamers\u2019 responses to the film adaptation of resident evil in great detail , getting close to their reviews . critical positions were identified as were key discourses in their posts . but this is not enough to ensure the utility and validity of this pursuit . the findings must now be connected to social and cultural spheres . here i reiterate that my intentions are similar to barker and brooks , who state that they \u2018want to be able to understand\u2026how people\u2019s responses to films like dredd can be studied as social phenomena\u2019 ( barker and brooks 1998 : 115 ) .\nthis film had two possible directions . it could have been a gore fest zombie film , or a psychological deep thriller\u2026unfortunately , paul w s anderson seemingly has trouble with this concept and opted to follow both . he ends up with one of the messiest films i\u2019ve ever witnessed ( gamer 115 4 january 2005 ) .\npoint - of - view is used in largely the same way in survival horror games as are used in film . as king and krzywinska state : \u2018predetermined framing of this kind acts like that of a film , to some extent , directing the attention of the player and creating visual diversity through shifts of perspective , although at the expense of player freedom\u2019 ( 2002 : 13 ) .\nin a sense , this discourse teaches gamers to expect to be disappointed when they view a videogame adaptation in film , but keeps them interested \u2013 and viewing \u2013 with a promise that the adaptations will eventually improve . for gamers , this offers a kind of promise of deferred pleasure . for the film and games industries , this means a steady supply of hopeful punters . the veracity of this statement can be seen perhaps in my sample . a quick count reveals that 26 of the 118 gamers sampled were looking out for the sequel \u2013 11 of whom disliked the first adaptation . only two gamers said that the film was so bad they would avoid the sequel at all costs . around a quarter of the gamers had also seen the film more than twice \u2013 some of these to their \u201cdisgust\u201d and \u201csurprise\u201d .\nto sum up here then , i have argued that several discourses have been identified through the course of this research that in my view provide interesting insights into the ways gamers responded to the film adaptation of resident evil . some of these discourses relate to the filmic plain ( game to film adaptations , choice of director ) , some to industrial and cultural practices ( game to film adaptations , low brow games , and some to the specific pleasures of the game ( being like the game ) and game - play ( frustrated ergodic pleasures ) . in my conclusion , i attempt to draw the research together \u2013 audience , film and franchise \u2013 in order to assess how far an understanding of all three facilitates a better understanding of the social and cultural significance of media adaptations and their audiences .\nnot all thought that the feel had been successfully recreated in the film . gamer 46 attempted to speak for disappointed resident evil fans and lamented the elements missing in the film that made the game so unique and special . they state : \u2018we wanted to endless scares , suspense , a creepy environment . we deeply wished to see the dark atmosphere present in the game , but we get nothing of this\u2019 ( gamer 46 27 july 2003 ) .\nfew of these gamers had anything positive to say about game to film adaptations . it was noted , however , that some of the gamers thought that anderson\u2019s resident evil was the best attempt yet .\nlittlerock is actually about families , born into and stumbled across in the middle of nowhere . it begins with the quintessential american disconnect \u2014 an automotive breakdown in the midst of a road trip . japanese tourists \u2014 brother and sister \u2014 on a genealogical pilgrimage to the manzanar world war ii japanese - american internment camp find themselves stranded in a motel full of hopped - up trailer trash . shit ensues : bike rides , shotgun beers , drug deals and one of the most exquisitely etched love triangles ever not written .\nas krzywinska noted , investigation and exploration are rewarded in game - play . some spoke of this in their reviews . for example , gamer 12 attempted to explain why the film disappointed them . for this gamer , the film did not reflect the game\u2019s premise of \u2018\u2026a lone character in a genuinely spooky mansion never knowing what unspeakable horror was round the next corner\u2026\u2019 ( gamer 12 21 december 2002 ) .\nfor the gamers who articulated this discourse , clearly , anderson had failed . game avatars do not require in - depth characterisation as players bring themselves to the avatar . film characters do require more depth of characterisation , their motivations need to be established and they need to be situated in relation to other characters . the archetypes in the film adaptation were neither fish nor fowl and for some this rendered them useless .\nthis part of the paper has sought to underline some of the key similarities and differences between games and films identified in literature drawn from games studies and films studies . as noted earlier , the film - makers also sought to play with the differences and similarities between the game and film versions of resident evil and the game - like aspects were picked up on by a number of critics . but how did gamers respond to the adaptation ? can issues relating to the differences between game - play and film viewing be found in the gamers\u2019 responses ? in broader terms , this paper seeks to contribute to an understanding of how contemporary users of media products negotiate their inter - medial experiences .\nmy own exposure to the small form collective came through artist and filmmaker lee lynch , whose work i have followed ( disclosure : and occasionally collaborated on , in a celebrity cameo capacity ) for a few years . while he was still a student at calarts , lynch gave me a copy of his student feature transposition of the great vessels ( a fictionalized account of the auteur ' s literal conception \u2014 greeeat ! ) , which i shelved alongside other student videos i ' d accumulated over the years ; pretty low in the rotation .\na large number of barker and brooks\u2019 respondents were fans of judge dredd and readers of 2000ad . in their vip entitled \u201cdredd\u2019s deserts\u201d , the viewers\u2019 patterns of talk revolved around the discussion of \u2018what judge dredd was really like , and what he deserves\u2019 ( ibid ) . this vip articulated \u2018a language of insiders\u2019 knowing appreciation\u2019 ( ibid ) . i anticipate patterns similar to this will emerge from my research . resident evil fans , like dredd fans are in a sense stake holders , and curators of knowledge . how would they respond to the film makers\u2019 attempts to assign the film as a prequel ? will they accept this new history of the resident evil universe ? and if they are concerned with the film being \u2018like the game\u2019 , what does that actually mean , since games and film offer similar but also different pleasures ?\nthe discourses surrounding the choice of director are complex and also reveal how work is done by viewers prior to the viewing of a film . as we saw in the findings , criticisms relating to the choice of director were found with some regularity and consistency in the posts of the those expressing the dominant critical position of the resident evil fans , but they were also evidenced in other critical positions with less frequency . the three specific discourses relating to the choice of director revolved around anderson as specialist in the already denigrated game to film \u2018genre\u2019 , anderson\u2019s credentials as a fan / player of the games , and the romero sacking .\nthe videogame fans were not the only ones for whom the differences between game - play and film spectatorship mattered . in this section , the sample is taken as a whole i . e . irrespective of critical position in order to examine the ergodic aspects they felt did or not deliver a game - like experience . did gamers articulate a sense of loss or lack from game to film ? were viewers / gamers of resident evil frustrated spectators ?\ncoyotes lope across our land all the time . two days ago three does trotted single file along a ridge about 60 yards from the house , as i turned to watch them , i saw a single coyote in pursuit , followed by a straggling pup . the survival parade dipped down into the wash , then back up the other side of a trail that connects to one of our regular mountain bike and hiking trails . a minute later , the deer had switched back my way and were headed around my sister ' s house , the coyote still about 20 yards back , the pup nowhere to be seen .\nit is clear from the posts that measuring the likeness to the game was a consistent preoccupation for those assessing the film from the dominant position of the resident evil fan . in the main , anderson seems to have correctly identified the monsters that the fans would like to see brought to life . but the main areas of contention for these gamers centred on the non - adherence to the resident evil story , the lack of characters from the game , and interestingly , the concept of feel .\nanderson also sought to bring the sets from the game to life by building replicas : \u2018 . . . you\u2019ll recognize pieces of hardware and sets from the game . we rebuilt some of the sets from the game . like in resident evil 2 , there\u2019s a big train . we built that train\u2019 ( ibid ) . in addition , anderson ensured that plot elements from the games were included in the film and various characters from the games were referenced . as anderson states : \u2018there are story points and references to characters . it really operates within the world of the video game\u2019 ( ibid ) . the film departed from the game world in a bid to bring what anderson described as \u2018added value\u2019 for fans . for example , while having favourite monsters from the game world in the film , the director added a new monster . he states :\nthe gamers posting on imdb\u2019s resident evil message board had a point in posting : to varying degrees they are all recording and publishing their views on the film for themselves and others they anticipate are like - minded . there is no reply facility so gamers do not talk to each other about the film . are they as solitary and \u2018sad\u2019 as the fanboy tag suggests ? do they show awareness of talking to others , as gamers , as fans of resident evil and / or film reviewers or are they locked in their own private , obsessive worlds ? what , ultimately , does their participation on this site mean ?"]}

worthy and wooden . the main female character who is supposed to be ( i think ) passionate and exciting is instead annoying and fake . its obviously an american portrayal of what they see as culture on this side of the ocean ( european countries ) but it does nothing but expose the ignorance of the american film industry . the only slightly redeeming fact about this movie is jackson ' s character ' s best friend who is pretty funny ( but is not even on the screen very much ) . i have never written a review on anything before but feel like it would be selfish in this case not to warn the rest of the world not to waste 2 hours watching this film as i have done .

1914 ) scrisse alcuni articoli dai contenuti piuttosto originali - innanzi tutto quello sulla realt\u00e0 di dio - e lasci\u00f2 migliaia di pagine di manoscritti sui temi pi\u00f9 vari . l ' attento esame di tutti questi scritti fa emergere una nuova concezione di semiotica ( che per peirce coincide con la logica ) all ' interno della quale la massima pragmatica , secondo cui la comprensione di un significato coincide con la totalit\u00e0 dei suoi effetti concepibili , perde il suo ruolo centrale limitandosi a essere considerata una formula sintetica della metodologia della ricerca .\ncharles sanders peirce ( 1839 - 1914 ) , the founder of pragmatism , was an american philosopher , logician , physicist , and mathematician . since the publication of his collected papers in 1931 , interest in peirce has grown dramatically . his work has found audiences in such disciplines as philosophy , computer science , logic , film studies , semiotics , and literary criticism . while peirce scholarship has advanced considerably since its earliest days , many controversies of interpretation persist , and several of the more obscure aspects of his work remain poorly understood .\na passible movie on traveling to pamplona for the running of the bulls . clearly filmed during the festival on a budget , but not bad . dvd picture doesn\u2019t look as good as when i watched it so many years ago . also , i don\u2019t know if it has to do with the anti - theft device sticker with the metal strips on the back , but i did experience bricking in parts of the movie . i would probably like the film more in hd on blu - ray , but this is what is available for now .\nunfortunately , once \u2018under the same moon\u2019 gets past the central mother - son relationship , it relies too heavily on coincidence and obvious plot devices . obstacles suddenly appear and then magically disappear , crises come and go , and nothing feels as real as we\u2019d like it to . this problem is especially acute when it comes to the film\u2019s few but pivotal english - speaking characters , who come across as evil or feeble or both . not only do the anglos tend toward caricature , none of them have the slightest idea of how to have fun . the mexicans , hard - working as well as fun - loving , come off much better .\nunder 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian 21 or older . the parent / guardian is required to stay with the child under 17 through the entire movie , even if the parent gives the child / teenager permission to see the film alone . these films may contain strong profanity , graphic sexuality , nudity , strong violence , horror , gore , and strong drug use . a movie rated r for profanity often has more severe or frequent language than the pg - 13 rating would permit . an r - rated movie may have more blood , gore , drug use , nudity , or graphic sexuality than a pg - 13 movie would admit .\nthis concluding text clearly situates the film in the discourse surrounding \u201clas desaparecidas , \u201d the disappeared women of ciudad ju\u00e1rez , and interrupts the spectator\u2019s potential voyeuristic positioning by confronting us with the reality of the violence ( often sexual ) enacted on the bodies of women [ 29 ] \u2014many of them migrants from other parts of mexico and central america who travel to the us / mexico border with hopes of crossing into the u . s . ( like sandra ) or with the promise of economic opportunities represented by the global companies , often referred to as \u201cmaquiladoras\u201d or \u201cmaquilas , \u201d that operate ( or operated ) on the border and exploit the cheap labor that comes from economic necessity . [ 30 ]\nunlike la misma luna that seems to want to humanize the smugglers as well through martha and her brother , victoria para chino is an indictment of the cruelty of the smuggling system . the migrants are transported like goods\u2014human merchandise\u2014in the back of a tractor trailer with no ventilation and no consideration for their basic needs ( such as water ) . for the coyotes , these are not human beings , but a product , something emphasized by their mode of transport . the film visually represents the commodification of migrant bodies that has been occurring along the border , at least in part , according to raymod michalowski , due to government policies that have increased border militarization , which in turn has fed the human smuggling business :\nspain itself probably doesn ' t feature directly in many us films because lots of us films are for english speaking audiences in the us first . it ' s got sort of a default cultural assumption point of view . setting a film in spain or having characters go to spain requires a plot that does that . it can and does happen in action , adventure , spy drama movies where characters hop across the globe . it ' s just easy to lose sight of where everyone goes and what they do . in general though , there is just little reason to feature things from a us studio perspective outside the usa as the major plot , so spain and other countries just do not get mentioned or featured using actual locations from those countries .\nnonostante le difficolt\u00e0 con le quali si scontra il tentativo di offrire una lettura organica del pensiero di charles sanders peirce vale la pena \u2014 e il presente volume ne \u00e8 una prova \u2014 di continuare a impegnarsi in questa direzione . in particolare , come qui viene mostrato , le indagini di peirce sull ' ontologia e sulla metodologia delle scienze matematiche sembrano perdere gran parte del loro interesse , e perfino della loro comprensibilit\u00e0 , se non vengono inserite nel contesto di quel sistema fenomenologico che scaturisce in peirce dal superamento del trascendentalismo kantiano . l ' abbandono del dualismo fenomeno - noumeno a favore di una tavola categoriale di natura semiotica si ritrova a fondamento dell ' approccio peirceano alla matematica , del carattere osservativo e sperimentale \u2013 e da qui informativo \u2013 attribuito dal filosofo americano a questa scienza . a partire da un ' indagine dei concetti di astrazione ipostatica e di ragionamento teorematico , centrali nella trattazione peirceana delle scienze deduttive , questo lavoro si propone di interpretare le riflessioni di peirce sulla conoscenza a priori nel complesso della fondazione gnoseologica della filosofia pragmatista dell ' autore . nozione centrale della ricerca \u00e8 quella di diagramma , segno grafico peculiare del procedimento deduttivo , oggetto singolo e materiale , come tale passibile di osservazione . il segno diagrammatico , pur partecipando di aspetti indessicali e simbolici , si rivela nel proprio carattere essenziale di icona , quale unica modalit\u00e0 semiotica in grado di farsi portatrice di nuova conoscenza .\nernest hemingway has been dead for 44 years , and yet the nobel prize -

( okay , it was the boiling of the water as part of that process which was the key , but the medieval brewers didn\u2019t know that and , well , any excuse for a few pints , right ? )\nthis documentary was really a blast . it presents a seemingly reasonable case for how important beer was in human history . it is also filled with really great dry wit . i also really liked the funny cartoons used to present a lot of the material . i would , however , really like to hear some serious academic criticisms of the theories presented in this film , although i ' m pretty sure that the film intended to be a bit over the top about how beer made the modern world . still , this is one of the best documentaries i have ever seen -

scale breweries of the sort that were eventually used to supply workers building the great pyramids at giza . beer was such a necessity in egypt that royals were buried with miniature breweries to slake their thirst in the afterlife . in ancient babylon beer was so important that sources from 500 b . c . record dozens of types , including red beer , pale beer , and dark beer .\ndid you know that beer was critical to the birth of civilization ? or that it played a crucial role in the building of the pyramids , the founding of america , the industrial revolution and advancements in medicine ? that\u2019s right \u2013 beer . scientists and historians line up to tell the amazing , untold story that puts beer at the centre of the human civilization . until almost modern times , it wasn\u2019t just a drink\u2014beer was vital to life . where water contained deadly bacteria , beer was safe , as the fermentation killed the germs . it was drunk by men , women and children for a large period of time , and inspired great moments in human history . beer was vital to the birth of america from the moment the mayflower stopped in plymouth \u2013 find out why !\nit is very common and completely normal for friends to hang out and enjoy nice cold beer on a warm russian summer evening . or to talk a walk and enjoy a nice cold beer .\nmy favourite non -

faced ) . on a more artistic note , the world\u2019s oldest poem is the sumerian hymn to ninkasi . ninkasi being their goddess of beer and the poem , predictably , being a recipe for the drink .\naccording to traw , beer is traditionally made with four main ingredients : water , barley , malt and hops . he said mother\u2019s has been very interested in beer research and the development of new and interesting brews .\nprime minister benjamin netanyahu and his team are trying to persuade world leaders from a number of countries to switch their allotted slots to give speeches at the un general assembly .\nsumerian women brewed low - alcohol beer for religious ceremonies and as part of the daily food ration . sumerian brewers enjoyed tremendous respect , in part because they probably also served as priestesses of the revered beer goddess , ninkasi . sumerians believed ninkasi oversaw the brewing process and \u201cworked\u201d as head brewer to the gods , who\u2019d gifted beer to humans to preserve peace and promote well -

based drink in ancient mesopotamia , located in modern - day iran and iraq . historians now qualify the mesopotamian concoction as the world\u2019s first barley beer and remain committed to their original belief that civilization began in this so - called \u201cfertile crescent\u201d between the tigris and euphrates rivers .\n\u201cit serves as a good overview because a lot of people forget that water was unsafe to drink whenever we were forming civilizations and coming together , \u201d traw said . \u201cwhat\u2019s interesting is that the documentary talks about how beer sprang up on every continent way before the wheel , or any real grasp of civilization . \u201d\nin brief remarks to a un panel yesterday , trump chastised the world body for its bloated bureaucracy and budget , saying , \u201cwe are not seeing the results in line with this investment . \u201d\nbarley , water , hops and yeast might not sound like a recipe for success , but to the beer connoisseur , the fine balance of those four ingredients is the stuff of legend . if you ' ve ever been to a specialty beer store , the variety can seem infinite , but there are really just two main varieties - - lager and ale . with everyone from home enthusiasts to industry giants continuing to push the limits of flavour development and production technology , beer is more than just a refreshing beverage . it ' s the world ' s greatest science project .\n\u201ci want to again note the high level of preparedness by the idf , which knows how to handle every surprise , every problem and every threat , \u201d liberman says , during a visit to the elbit defense contractor in the southern town of arad .\nbeer was the basis of modern medicine . it all started in 1850s with scientist louis pasteur . he invented pasteurization . tragically , people always link him to this , milk . but he was actually studying this : beer . some people think he was looking at milk , but in fact , he was actually looking at beer and beer was the first beverage , actually , to be pasteurized . pasteur started by trying to answer a vexing question :\nso i feel like we can blame all the bad guys , but the truth is , all of us who believe it\u2019s real still aren\u2019t doing enough . maybe the only person in the world who is , is al gore .\nthe transition shows how tricky it is for a company to form such a strong attachment with a single representative , said allen adamson , a brand strategy consultant whose clients have included samuel adams and the spirits company diageo .\ngeraldine gittens ireland\u2019s jellyfish research experts have issued advice on how best to treat a jelly fish sting , in light of the recent increase in lion\u2019s mane jellyfish sightings and stings experienced by swimmers . . .\na great dvd giving interesting theories into beer production . some of the info was slightly out dated but overall very informative .\nbut they were adamant : maths and writing were needed to record the \u201cproduction and distribution of commodities like beer\u201d . ah , \u201ccommodities like beer . \u201d this was the programme\u2019s one weakness : at times listening to these guys you could be forgiven for thinking that mankind neither eat nor drank anything other than beer \u2013 that we thrived and survived on the amber nectar alone .\ni drink less alcohol nowadays due to the fact that i\u2019m older and calmer and i actually enjoy less intake of food and drink . i don\u2019t like wine . if i feel like a beer , i enjoy having a beer .\nsure compare bread which a man can live on to beer which has absolutely no nutritional value at all .\ndiscovering residue of the plant on ancient pottery , as well as the symbol for beer appearing over 160 times in the \u201cword lists\u201d\u2014the oldest known recovered ancient texts of cuneiform\u2014the academic consensus is that beer has been around for a long time , and it was the curiosity and ingenuity to better the brewing tradition that spawned massive changes for society .\nraft is used to travel beer from one island to the other , to make it simple transporting barley in other land evading enemies and other bandits that would try to steal their own barley that can be use to make beer . red\n\u201cif the un could accomplish its stated goals , this investment would easily be worth it , \u201d he adds . but according to the us president , the international body is failing at its stated goal of providing peace and prosperity to the world\nmaybe you\u2019ve heard the story about the pilgrims landing at plymouth rock because they\u2019d run out of beer and needed to build a brewhouse immediately . well , it\u2019s bogus . it\u2019s true that the trans - atlantic voyagers did bring beer rations across the sea and that they didn\u2019t trust the water supply in their adopted homeland because they knew the water back home to be unsafe . but beer rations aboard the ship held up just fine during the journey , and the first thing the settlers built were huts to shelter against the cold .\nin the last few years researchers found the presence of the antibiotic tetracycline ( which was only \u2018discovered\u2019 in 1948 ) in the bones of egyptian mummies . after some more research they found the only place this could have come from was the beer drunk at the time . in fact fast forward a few thousand years and beer was the basis of modern medicine too .\nas much as i would like to go back to a flip phone , the disconnection sounds great at times , i am part of the connected world and find lots of value in smartphones and wearable products .\nthis was a fun documentary and i fully support the change in calendar to be bb ( before beer ) and ab ( after beer ) . i think this change has been long over due since our calendar should mark the being of civilization and not the birth of the religion called christianity .\ni just took a look over at my two beer cases , black label and canadian . my two favorites .\nthe irony was the reinheitsgebot was to ensure cheap wheat for bread instead of beer as the bavarians had developed hefe weizen in 1520 . they forgot to mention yeast and it was a scientist and a change to the reinheitsgebot to the provisional german beer law which allowed wheat malt , cane sugar and removed unmalted grain .\nthis documentary is misinforming the public . i think , it is funded by beer companies . i just thought these ; 1 . beer is not the only alcoholic drink and overvalued here . 2 . they do not clearly say that , at ancient times , it was not the same beer we drink today . there are lots of fermented drinks , soups made from barley and wheat which has a lot more nutrition . ancient beer was more like boza ( we drink in turkey ) 3 . if it is that important for boston why is the legal drinking age 21 there ? 4 . for medicine it is alcohol not beer 5 . i am not a drinker but i grabbed a beer while watching this , because of the advertisement . 6 . thank you : )\nfunny . . . because i even mentioned a few benefits . . . maybe if you do the research and find out what beer or any other alchoholic drink actually is made up of and how it has changed from its original state you wouldn ' t call me a m * ron for trying to educate you on the harms it can do .\nmr . katz said mr . legrand would be more active and adventurous than his predecessor , though the campaign will maintain its \u201clegend lines , \u201d which is how the brand refers to remarks like : \u201chis fortune cookies simply read \u2018congratulations . \u2019\u201d\na regulation concerning the production of beer in germany ,\ngerman beer purity law\nor reinheitsgebot in 1516 , by william iv duke of bavaria , restricted the use to water , barley , and hops . it was meant to ensure the availability of sufficient amounts of affordable bread , as the more valuable wheat and rye were reserved for use by bakers , and led to the domination of the german beer market by pilsener , the pale to golden -

inspiring production such as the one that closes this film .\ni ordered this movie because it was the first one my boyfriend and i saw together when we first went dating , so it has sentimental value for me . i remembered the movie to be special , with dry humor yet entertaining and so romantic , that i wanted it to be part of my treasured dvd collection . apart from that glenn close is amazing in her role ! i recommend it especially for the opera fans .\nhaving seen this movie and raving about it years ago ( rented from blockbuster ) . i was surprised when attempting to purchase , it was unavailable . but i kept checking up on amazon and was thrilled when weeks later it was for sale . everyone expects drama from opera but an adult comedy , with the supreme glenn close the most glorious music of wagner ( in bits and pieces so even the most operaphobic could tolerate ) and dame kiri te kanawa , surprisingly handling the music with flair ( she is not known as a wagnerian ) combine into a delightful human comedy for music - lovers , film - lovers and glenn close - lovers .\nfor classical music fans this film is an absolute delight , but even if you are not into opera you will love it . it is a great and complicated love story between a diva and a conductor . the film is also a wonderfully drawn vignette of the cultural clashes and ego - battles that accompany the birth of a great opera production . when i first read about the movie i had trouble seeing glenn close in the role of an opera diva , but she does a marvelous job , and her lip - synching to the absolutely divine soundtrack of kiri te kanawa is really pretty good . her counterpart nils arestrup does a wonderful job as well , playing the introvert , yet passionate conductor , for whom the whole paris opera experience is alien and strange in more than one way . the soundbites from wagner ' s tannhaeuser are well - picked and enchanting . some people may find the overall storyline predictable , but that does not take away from the overall very high quality of this movie\none of my favorite movies of all time ! ok , so i ' m an opera singer and know each and every one of the types portrayed here , including the long - suffering conductor who is a dead ringer in every way to the first conductor i worked with professionally . but even if you aren ' t you ' ll love it too . and it ' s topical , too ! a may 2013 production of tannh\u00e4user in d\u00fcsseldorf was just almost cancelled for its nazi themes , though there ' s just the one such ballet scene in the film .\ni wanted to see a film with classical music and the world of musicians as a main theme and got what i wanted . well - acted , a bit quirky , solid drama .\nglenn close should have received an oscar for this performance . the rest of the cast is also terrific . very involving story .\nthe music is sublime , as are the real voices . the acting , first class . the story : hilarious -

famous swedish diva , makes a perfect centerpiece for the film ' s romantic intrigues , which constantly threaten to upstage the production of wagner ' s\ntannhauser\nthat is in the works . as karin anderson , she makes a spectacularly nonchalant grand entrance by arriving late at the paris opera house where rehearsals have begun and by offering genteelly effusive greetings to everyone except the conductor , zoltan szanto ( niels arestrup ) , who gets a dirty look .\nevery bit the prima donna , karin is feeling spiteful over remarks she thinks zoltan made regarding her age , sexual preference and general operatic talent . zoltan , for his part , is almost too busy to notice , because he is being slyly pursued by most of the young women in the company and because he has a wife and daughter back home in budapest .\ndear edith , everything moves so slowly here , apparently due to democracy ,\nhe writes in one of his many letters home , letters that grow less and less candid as events in paris begin to set off sparks .\ni cannot mix up my work with my private life ,\nzoltan eventually declares during an afternoon tryst in karin ' s hotel room . and both of them burst into giggles at that .\nis it my face that irritates them or just the stale smell of eastern europe ?\nzoltan wonders , as his passport is too closely examined by french officials in the film ' s plain , almost pedestrian opening scenes . in this way , mr . szabo ' s characters constantly combine personal and political attributes , even when - - especially when - - they are reduced to the level of calling one another names . resorting to crude national stereotypes takes on the quality of caricature , as do various arguments about the fate of european communism , arguments that inevitably go nowhere . from the company director with a socialist past to the short , stocky tannhauser , who is accused of\ngerman aggressiveness\nby a colleague , those in the film wear their national or political identity on their sleeves .\nfrom the new york times . you may opt - out at any time .\nyou agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times ' s products and services .\nthere are also more than enough eccentricities to go around , from the huge , amorous , spaghetti - loving diva who is karin ' s co - star to the debonair , balding office assistant whose exact sex is a mystery . mr . szabo allows the film ' s many individual characters to emerge sharply , and he has assembled a remarkably well - rounded international cast . among the more conspicuous players are erland josephson as the gentlemanly company director ; maria de madeiros , who starred in\nhenry and june\nand flashes zoltan her most cryptic and inviting smile , and the arresting dutch actress johanna ter steege , who starred in\nthe vanishing ,\nas a singer who fights zoltan ' s favoritism toward the utterly magnetic karin .\nms . close ' s serene , ladylike bearing is not an asset in every role , but this time it works wonderfully well , especially when combined with the avid seductiveness she brings to the character . mr . arestrup , at first stern and a little drab , proves to be an equally fine choice , since he moves so easily into a conductor ' s courtly , dedicated manner , one that easily explains his popularity with women in the company . dorottya udvaros , a hungarian actress , has some powerful moments with mr . arestrup as zoltan ' s proud , angry wife , who discovers her husband ' s affair and reacts with exceptional fury .\nwe are continually improving the quality of our text archives . please send feedback , error reports , and suggestions to archive _ feedback @ nytimes . com .\nwith the headline : review / film ; real -

over serving as a commentary on unfolding events back at the orchestra pit .\nas opening night looms closer , moreover , szanto finds himself increasingly besieged by mutinous musicians , predatory leading ladies and more bureaucratic red - tape than he can possibly hope to unravel . to cap it all , he embarks on an ill - judged liaison with anderson \u0097 although close , her haircut straight out of coronation street and a wardrobe apparently tailored from potato sacks , makes an unlikely object of desire \u0097 and the scene is set for a showdown of truly wagnerian proportions .\nindeed , peppering his script with political in - jokes ( \u0093everything moves so slowly here , something to do with democracy\u0094 ) and references ( \u0093just because the american thinks he can bomb libya or invade panama he thinks he can push us around . \u0094 ) , szabo uses the petty in - fighting of his cast not only to poke a well - meaning finger at creative folk in general but also as a metaphor for what was actually happening in europe . in many ways , it illustrates the contradictions inherent in the term united europe and explains to some extent why \u0097 with this very honourable exception , rescued from columbia pictures by the ten - exiting david puttnam \u0097 the european film co - production has never really taken off .\nszabo , reknowned for his ability to merge the personal with the political and for his excellent handling of actors , pulls it off again here with characteristic wit and sensitivity .\nauto suggestions are available once you type at least 3 letters . use up arrow ( for mozilla firefox browser alt + up arrow ) and down arrow ( for mozilla firefox browser alt + down arrow ) to review and enter to select .\npack your beach blanket for a bittersweet tale of love and summer ' s magic .\nlimited -

have afflicted mankind \u2013 from the dawn of the man , to the present day . chronicles of war , earthquakes plagues and floods .\njust as his early performances in comedy were tempered by the serious , the dramatic , his later performances in drama were tempered by the unserious , the flippant . you can discern this in welikathara , his second dramatic outing after thun man handiya : in one scene he is a dangerous , cape fear - esque antagonist - from - the - past , and in the very next he bottles up all his rage , his motives , with calculated , witty asides ( his first encounter with swineetha weerasinghe\u2019s character geetha , on the beach and around her car , plays around with this dualism ) . even in pathiraja\u2019s bambaru avith , as the villain anton aiya , those asides temper his evilness rather incongruously ( \u201cdore ? dore nemeyi , janele ! \u201d he shouts at an errant lorry driver ) . joe had wanted to be more than a humorist ; in becoming a dramatic , unlikeable antagonist , though , he was finding it difficult to escape being that humorist . it just kept coming back .\nthe most difficult person to be is the funny man . by that i don\u2019t mean the solitary satirist , the one - man - act savant whom the american cinema took out of the vaudeville houses and popularised : chaplin , keaton , lloyd , the marx brothers . i am talking instead about the comedian as we understand him today , the sort who can work with a horde of co - stars and still retain his identity . part of the reason why chaplin appears so refreshingly - funny , even today , is his individuality , his belief in standing apart on his own . not everyone can be a chaplin , of course , but everyone can easily be or emulate the one - man - savant that he was . retaining what forms you up as a distinct personality , while keeping your audiences laughing and coming for more , is considerably difficult , not least because we have short attention spans .\nlike some of his colleagues who took to the cinema in the 1970s , somasiri dehipitiya came from a largely working class background , as a civil servant . as an actor he had quite a number of attributes he could be justifiably proud of \u2013 he was gruff , he was almost always frowning , he rarely smiled , and perhaps more than anything else , he could appear sturdy and gentle at the same time . no doubt he used all these and more , so much so that it\u2019s truly astonishing that a man of his range of talent and experience never , for one solid moment , became a leading man . he was more or less like richard widmark , the american actor who never got beyond half a dozen or so leading roles despite his gruff mould .\nbecause it\u2019s tough being the funny man , it\u2019s tough getting people to laugh convincingly . if we are extrapolate lionel abel\u2019s thesis , we can say that what is true for his conception of western tragedy ( as thriving on self - consciousness ) is true of the general conception of comedy , in both theatre and cinema . the funny man can\u2019t betray his ability to make us laugh without betraying himself , which is why comedy in general betrays the falsity of its own medium : through counterfeit , deception , moral ambiguity . it\u2019s no cause for wonderment , then , that comedy in sri lanka is , if i may be politically - incorrect here , terribly self - defeating : the men and women who try to make us grin immediately yield to their own awareness of how absurd they are .\nthese were the ultimate tragic figures of our cinema , more tragic than tony\u2019s , whose characters were all thwarted not because of outside forces , but because of personal inadequacies . in becoming the supreme comedian of his time , to be equalled somewhat by vijaya nandasiri , joe had become a supreme tragic figure . by playing around with these two opposites , rather subtly , he gradually became the funny man that we\u2019d always wanted , who could keep us transfixed to his face throughout a film .\njoe was never solitary , never alone , but at the same time he never made us interested in his own back story . towards the end of hal ashby\u2019s being there we see the protagonist ( peter sellers ) literally walking on a lake ( is he god ? jesus ? ) . throughout the story our attitude towards him is tempered by our consideration of him as an everyday , ordinary man who might have stepped out from anywhere . he keeps his benefactor happy , his daughter consoled but unfulfilled , and their family doctor suspicious . this curious blend of happiness , consolation , and mystery is what makes up joe\u2019s most recognisable performances : we don\u2019t know where he\u2019s from , only that he\u2019s there to placate the main character , and with the main character , us .\nthe reason for this , obviously , was that these men and women were all from the theatre . so was joe ( his was initiated into the cinema through the studios of sirisena wimalaweera , who was no cineaste ) , but the difference with him was that he didn\u2019t enter the movies , he downright conquered them . and the timing couldn\u2019t have been more right . gamini fonseka had materialised at a time when our heroes and villains were borrowed from bollywood ; he became the first real onscreen hero we could claim . tony ranasinghe had materialised at a time when we were getting fed up of those heroes flaunting their masculinity and making escapades from even the most inescapable dilemma ; he became our first everyman . joe , going by that , materialised when we were getting tired of heroes and villains , and ordinary people being stumped by their sense of inadequacy . we wanted to laugh , but in a different way : we wanted someone who could be both a hero and an ordinary man to tickle us into laughter .\nkadawunu poronduwa was the first film to be made in the sinhala language ; it is generally considered to have heralded the coming of sinhala cinema . it was first shown on january 21 , 1947 at the kingsley cinema in colombo , sri lanka . plot : ralahamy , a member of high status , dies leaving his family in debt after having squandered his fortune through extensive drinking and other vices . to get back into wealth , ralahamy ' s wife tackla pushes her daughter ranjani to get married to a wealthy older man victor with a child through an earlier marriage . in this process , samson , ranjani ' s boyfriend , who had tried extensively to get the family back into good graces going so far as to pay off their debts , is spurned . he then goes abroad to win a fortune . when samson returns he learns of ranjani ' s engagement to victor and tries to reach her through letter . his letters are hidden from her however , and rumours spread that samson is now a cripple . ultimately the truth is . . . more\nmahagama sekara was a legendary poet of the 20 th century in sri lanka . he was born on 7th april 1929 , in radawana , colombo , sri lanka . he was the only child of maha gamage jhon appuhami ( father ) and ranawaka arachchige rosalin ( mother ) . mahagama sekara was also known as a great sri lankan novelist , translator , artist , playwright , lyricist , filmmaker , philosopher and teacher . he is considered as one of the most significant figures in the sinhalese poetry .\ninitially , he entered the government school in radawana in 1934 . in 1948 he then entered the government college of fine arts . finally , in 1950 he entered the teacher training school in nittabuwa and left it in 1952 as a sinhalese trained teacher . in 1981 , the university of sri jayawardenapura awarded him the degree , doctor of philosophy ( phd ) .\nmahagama sekara was well known as a poet of the modern sinhala literary tradition . his writing occasionally shows a buddhist influence , and blends the themes like humanity and the reality of life . he was also influenced by french free verses , english , and japanese haiku .\nmahagama sekara passed away on the 14 th of january 1976 , and it is still considered as a tragic loss to the sri lankan poetry and literary . he was 46 years old when he died

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

.\nhe tops the list of great actors sri lanka has ever produced . his performances on silver screen have kept the audiences spellbound . then after briefly disappearing from the reel , he is back , adding depth to modern day productions like tikiri suwanda and selvam .\njoe abeywickrama needs no introduction as an actor , as his name is assimilated in the minds of all the local movie buffs . proving his mettle in the international arena joe had been honoured with the best asian actor title for his performance in prasanna vithanage\u2019s pura handa kaluwara at the 1999 singapore international film festival . here are excerpts of an interview with daily news \u2018projector\u2019 in which the versatile thespain shares his personal experiences in the sets and behind the screen over many decades .\njoe mahaththaya , as he is commonly addressed by the people in the celluloid world , quietly walked to the gate to greet and receive us . the trademark smile and the unique voice which had added credibility to this great actor\u2019s performances do not seem to let go of its grip . yet , a hint of weariness seems to reflect on his face .\nafter all , it is years since he dished an exceptional performance as the cunning gorin mudalali , his breakthrough role , in d b nihalsinghe\u2019s welikathara ( desert ) .\nat the age 12 joe got the opportunity to watch the latest english films released at the colombo regal . they were released simultaneously at imperial theatre in ratnapura , for the benefit of white men who worked in the estates as planters . thus hollywood giants like john wayn , david niven , lee marvin and marlon brando who starred in these films , became joe\u2019s heroes .\n\u201cwe used to crawl to the gallery of the cinema to watch their films\u201d , joe recalled with an impish smile .\nthere was a twinkle of the old mischief in the comic actor still running in his blood .\nthese characters influenced the young lad to brush up his innate acting skills and adapt a natural rhythm . this he portrayed to the hilt in productions like welikathara , bambaru awith , baduth ekka horu and ran muthu doowa .\n\u201cit was hard to convince the indian directors . a few actors like me and gamini tried our best to bring a natural acting style to sinhala cinema .\nat the time , an actor was required to possess girlish looks to be chosen for a main role . my profile pushed me to portray the next best role , which was comedy .\ni was determined to be an actor at any cost . therefore i tried to adapt to whatever role that came my way . it was a blessing in disguise which helped me to gain versatility\u201d , he says .\n\u201cif one can bring credibility to a comic role , he can perform any character with ease\u201d , he stressed , talking through experience .\n\u201cthere should be a perfect blend of brains , skill , flexibility and rhythm to bring a comic character to the fore . \u201d he believes that acting has to evolve with time .\n\u201can actor has to be mindful of transformations in society and the world as a whole and adjust to situations or he will perish like the dinosaurs , \u201d he said .\ni was in the danger of being confined to the comic actor category . when tissa abeysekara showed me the scrip , i knew , portraying gorin mudalali\u2019s character in the film would bring me to the next level as a versatile actor . the undying cowboy within me provided much inspiration to take up the role . \u201d\ndirector nihalsinghe had been taken by surprise when tissa suggested joe for the role . he had sought joe out and said , \u201ci was under the impression that you are grooming yourself to follow eddie jayamanna . you have taken a bold decision . the role is yours . \u201d\nwickrama randeniya , the police officer\u2019s role , was originally suppose to be played by ananda jayarathne . joe had suggested gamini fonseka\u2019s name .\n\u201ci told them that if gamini performed as my counterpart , my projection of gorin mudalali will be strengthened . they accepted my words without any hesitation . \u201d\nwork progressed smoothly . gamini and joe enjoyed the plot . tissa\u2019s script itself provided room for them to add immense value to their characters . \u201cat one point it seemed like we two did turn into inspector wickrama randeniya and gorin mudalali . when it came to shooting the final scenes which were the climax of storyline , the unexpected happened\u201d . joe\u2019s facial expressions highlighted the grim reality he was going to unveil .\ni was informed that gorin mudalali should run in the final gun battle with the police inspector merely to keep the police department and the public sensor board officials at bay . i knew it was a dubious act and resisted at first before compromising\u201d .\nin the original script , gorin mudalali dies in a face - to - face gun battle with the police battalion . it was supposed to be an \u2018eye for an eye\u2019 or a \u2018no retreat - no surrender\u2019 situation , which would have led to a very emotional ending .\n\u201ci have never taken a rigid stance in a crisis situation in my acting career . flexibility brought me this far\u201d , the exceptional artiste concluded with a note of content .\nproduced by lake house copyright \u00a9 2006 - 2013 the associated newspapers of ceylon ltd .\nhtml public\n- /

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

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

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

( wikipedia )\ntaxi zum klo is a truthful film , revolutionary in its time , about love , the pleasures of promiscuity and the fears of the fading of desire . shot just before the great aids scare of the early 1980s , it now has a peculiar place in social and cultural history .\na ground breaking film to challenge the taboo of the german culture . made with a shoestring budget , taxi zum klo is a marvelous film looking at the struggles ripploh himself faces as a public school teacher in the day , but an active hustler at night . the explicit content was sure to shock many , i thought the use of jumpcuts with vintage pornography was quite a clever twist in terms of editing . taxi zum klo was also hilarious to watch with its use of awkward comedy . perhaps not for everyone but certainly an interesting piece of art house gem .\nfrank ripploh emerges from ' ' taxi zum klo ' ' ( ' ' taxi to the john ' ' ) as a funny , cheerful , sympathetic fellow . in view of the fact that mr . ripploh , who directed the film while also starring in it , has graphically filmed himself doing such things as undergoing a rectal examination at a vd clinic , this is no small accomplishment .\ntaxi zum klo\ndoes not contain much explicit sex , but the sex it does portray is graphic and will probably shock some viewers . ripploh believes he could not make an honest film of his life without showing us all of it , and his frankness redeems even his most scatological scene .\nripploh wrote , directed , and starred as himself in taxi zum klo , a movie documenting the life of mr . ripploh in west berlin . a schoolteacher by day , and sexually free and obsessed homosexual by night and sometimes day . the film opens with frank waking up naked and sneaking across the\u2026\n' ' taxi zum klo , ' ' which is very sexually explicit even by pornomovie standards , is also a believable and sometimes touching portrait of a german homosexual schoolteacher and his circle of friends and lovers . it ought to be believable , because mr . ripploh acknowledges it to be almost entirely autobiographical .\non its first release , taxi zum klo ( 1980 ) was seized by us customs . the film ( its title translates as taxi to the toilet ) was written and directed by frank ripploh who also takes the lead role of a schoolteacher who likes sex . he marks student essays while sitting on cottage toilets , picks up garage attendants , tells his homebody boyfriend that he\u2019s going to clubs to pick up strangers .\naside from making this a film not recommended to the puritanical or fainthearted , the nudity and explicit sexual activity in ' ' taxi zum klo , ' ' although not gratuitous , do constitute a failure of imagination . like any kind of explicitness , the kind on which mr . ripploh relies is the most obvious representation of attitudes and behavior that might have also been represented in other ways . the sex and nudity will undoubtedly account for part of the film ' s popularity with some audiences , but they will also put off others . and ' ' taxi zum klo ' ' is of sufficient quality and interest for that to be a shame .\ngerman native frank ripploh directs and stars in his 1980 feature taxi zum klo , which follows the public and domestic life of a gay schoolteacher residing in west berlin in the eighties . frank ripploh stars as the eponymous protagonist , along with bernd broaderup as bernd , orpha termin , and hans -

selecting membership of such cinema clubs it was recognised that films shown in such clubs might legitimately be more explicit than those permitted in a public cinema , although what was shown would still have to remain within the law . in accordance with this , the bbfc introduced a new classification of r18 ( restricted 18 ) in 1982 which would allow more explicit material than what was permitted in the x category ( simultaneously renamed the 18 category ) , provided that the film was shown only in licensed clubs .\ninitially the bbfc had felt that it would be possible to pass the more graphic sexual material in the film at r18 . however , discussions with the relevant enforcement agencies quickly showed that any sight of unsimulated sex was likely to be considered obscene under the\n. accordingly , when the film was resubmitted to the bbfc in 1983 in order to obtain an r18 classification , the bbfc had little alternative but to offer a long list of cuts similar to that originally demanded for an x classification .\nalthough some of the more borderline material ( such as the whipping ) was allowed to remain at r18 , all sight of erections and sexual penetration would have to be removed . however , given that the film had already been showing in club cinemas for over a year without legal intervention , neither the film ' s distributor nor its director could understand the need for additional cuts . therefore the film was withdrawn altogether from the classification process and from club cinemas . in the meantime , the film had been released on vhs in its marginally cut club version and remained available on video , nearly uncut , until after the introduction of the\nvanished from the shelves of video shops and from the repertoire of licensed cinema clubs . contrary to the original intention of club licensing , it was found that only sex films ( as opposed to ' arthouse ' films ) were commercially viable in a club environment and that the prohibition on more explicit material at the r18 category ( under the terms of the\n) ultimately led to the death of cinema clubs in favour of illegal distribution on the more convenient medium of vhs .\nrules , film four were not allowed to show uncut versions of films that had been cut by the bbfc . however , if the bbfc would pass the film uncut according to contemporary standards - and this could be demonstrated by resubmitting the film to the bbfc - it would be possible to screen the film .\n. given that explicit sight of real sex had been passed at 18 in those films it would be indefensible to require cuts in the case of a similarly serious and worthwhile film . the explicit images were justified by the wider content of the film , which comprised a serious and compassionate examination of one man ' s sexual life and the tensions this created . in terms of the other material previously censored ( even for club screenings ) the bbfc similarly felt that legitimate arguments could be made for their retention .\nwas unlikely to be found obscene . whereas a sex work with similar material might be found to be in breach of the law , the fact that\nhad a different purpose to a ' sex work ' ( ie its purpose was not merely to sexually arouse ) meant that , as an illustration of a particular lifestyle ( rather than an attempt to ' sell ' or eroticise that lifestyle ) , it was unlikely to render the work as a whole obscene .\nand managed to obtain assurances from the relevant german educational authorities that no child had been mistreated in the making of that film . in fact , an adult woman had been used in the close shots showing hands on thighs and a hand entering a man ' s trousers . so there was no breach of the\nwas passed ' 18 ' uncut in 2005 , albeit only for television screening .\nif you would like to receive regular mailings about bbfc resources , workshops , advance information about events and recent classifications or decisions which we think you may be interested in please complete the form below .\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 -

budget initiatives gone when we need them most ? the best things about irish film have , in recent years , been found in tiny packages such as once and his & hers . would it kill somebody to cook up a decent indigenous found - footage flick ?\nas if further proof were needed , 2011 demonstrated that if you want irish audiences to say \u201cho hum\u201d , give them a black comedy or social commentary . like adam and paul and a film with me in it before , sensation was the latest ill - deserving victim of the curse of the irish black comedy . if you want even fewer friends at the box office , then by all means , start banging on about the state of the nation . it\u2019s the golden rule of irish movie products : shut up and don\u2019t mention the housekeeping .\nseriously . for more than five years the irish movie punter has carefully steered clear of films pontificating about , well , ireland . so it doesn\u2019t matter that parked should have spoken to the masses . darragh byrne\u2019s fine debut feature was greeted with the same chilly reception once afforded the tiger\u2019s tail , alarm and 8 . 5 hours . global economic meltdown and empty political promises are all very well on the wireless but , in this country , folks have decided they\u2019re not putting up with this sort of thing at the multiplex . the people have spoken . again . cinemas are for going to see bridesmaids , not for speechifying .\nour biggest cold -

recession rent agreements in april . but it\u2019s worse that tumbleweed continues to blow across smithfield square . as long ago as last august , curzon artificial eye cinemas submitted the highest bid to reopen ireland\u2019s most kubrickian picture house . so why are we still waiting for the doors to open again ?\nreview : the film\u2019s freaky visuals are peak psychedelia . the songs aren\u2019t bad either\nnote : many of our articles have direct quotes from sources you can cite , within the wikipedia article ! this article doesn ' t yet , but we ' re working on it ! see more info or our list of citable articles .\nin the period in which it was made . ripploh has stated that much of the film was autobiographical .\nhailed it as ' the first masterpiece about the mainstream of male gay life ' .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nall things considered , our predictions for march were pretty much bang on the money \u2013 we were perhaps too optimistic about the tempest and the adjustment bureau , and a turtle\u2019s tale definitely had us fooled , but we didn\u2019t do too bad a job . therefore , you should definitely continue to tentatively put your faith in us and see approximately 75 % of the films we approve in this blog . cool ? cool .\napril gets off to a fine start with a weekend of releases including harrowing drama oranges and sunshine . based on the true story of the social worker who discovered that hundreds of thousands of british children had been uprooted from \u2018unfit\u2019 families and fostered abroad , it boasts not only a stellar cast ( emily watson , hugo weaving ) and ken loach\u2019s son jim in the director\u2019s chair ; it\u2019s also packing a coveted 5 * rating from bff . we\u2019re not messing around , this is one to watch even if you have to , for example , kill bono to do it ."]}

winner all the president ' s men .\nwithin its admittedly small universe , absence of malic e does make the point that , if investigative journalism is done incompetently , anyone whose name appears in print can be unjustly injured . it speaks in a cautionary way to the power of investigative journalism . given the focus of its plot on public institutions , absence of malice makes a second point that in the public sector in the united states power is often diffused , in this case among the us attorney , the fbi , and the organized crime strike force . as i\u2019ve discussed in my research on public sector innovation , cooperation is necessary for effective action ; internal conflict begets inaction and failure .\nthere are at least two ways to approach\nabsence of malice ,\nand i propose to take the second . the first approach , no doubt , would be to criticize this film ' s portrait of an investigative newspaper reporter - - to say that no respectable journalist would ever do the things that sally field does about , to , and with paul newman in this movie . she is a disgrace to her profession .\nin his review , time magazine ' s richard schickel wrote ,\nabsence of malice does not invalidate all the president ' s men . but with entertainment values \u2013 and a moral sense \u2014 every bit as high as that film ' s , it observes that there is an underside to journalistic gallantry .\nsimilarly , variety called it\na splendidly disturbing look at the power of sloppy reporting to inflict harm on the innocent .\nthere ' s a story about a legendary chicago editor who was presented with a major scoop obtained by dubious means . first he convinced himself the story was factually sound . then he issued the classic instruction :\nprint it tonight , and call the lawyers in the morning .\nnow there ' s an editor who might have enjoyed\nabsence of malice .\nhe would not have approved of what sally field does in this movie . but he would have understood it .\ni\u2019m very glad you\u2019ve asked this as it\u2019s much on my mind too , due to the seeming absence of written evidence . when i\u2019ve time in the next few days i\u2019ll put up the available online evidence for and against that i\u2019ve come across .\nmichael colin gallagher is the son of a long dead mafia boss who is a simple liquor warehouse owner . frustrated in his attempt to solve a murder of a union head , a prosecutor leaks a false story that gallagher is a target of the investigation , hoping that he will tell them something for protection . as his life begins to unravel , others are hurt by the story . megan carter , the reporter , is in the clear under the absence of malice rule in slander and libel cases . knowing nothing to trade to the prosecutors , gallagher must regain control of his life on different ground .\nand that leads us out of the first , or socially responsible , approach to\nabsence of malice ,\nand into the second , or romantic , approach . i not only liked this movie despite its factual and ethical problems -

( the unbelievable laxity of the editors in\nabsence of malice\ncreates the movie ' s greatest credibility gap . ) but let ' s face it : sometimes reporters do commit acts such as sally field allows herself in this movie . sometimes news of an investigation is printed without official attribution . and so on .\n3 ) another unethical situation in the movie is the position the newspaper takes on the absence of malice idea . it says that it doesn\u2019t not care if the story is true or not , only that the newspaper believe it is true at the time and that the newspaper cannot be blamed if the story is later found not to be true . journalism should be reporting facts , which are true , not possible facts . this is unethical , for stories could be written that falsely accuse innocent people . the newspaper should take the stance to try and report the truth as much as possible .\ntcm celebrates the 100th anniversary of a musical legend with three nights of programming devoted to some of leonard bernstein ' s . . . more\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\u201cthis is congo\u201d aims to deliver a portrait of the democratic republic of congo from the ground up .\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\na stubborn man past his prime reflects on his life of strict independence and seeks more out of himself .\nof course , we see how rigpa students make sense of it : all of his behavior ( including the abuse , etc . ) as an \u201cenlightened being\u201d is a display of upaya or skillful means ( crazy wisdom ) .\nindiewire goes behind -

an omnivorous conglomeration of newspaper clippings and historical documents about hemp and marijuana , held together by herer ' s cannabis evangelism and fiery screeds against prohibition - - has been a bible for many pot activists . unearthing a 1916 department of agriculture bulletin about hemp paper and a world war ii short film that exhorted american farmers to grow\nhemp for victory ,\nherer more than anyone else revived the idea that the cannabis plant was useful for purposes besides getting high . unfortunately , he ' s completely wrong on this particular issue . the evidence for a\nhemp conspiracy\njust doesn ' t stand up . it is far more likely that marijuana was outlawed because of racism and cultural warfare .\nbut let\u2019s say we are not dealing with the heavy metal crowd . let\u2019s say that we are hiring a jazz , electronica or cabaret act . what then ? often , the problem with hiring bands for silent film scores is that they have no experience in movie music of any kind , aside from contributing a song to a compilation soundtrack . stating the obvious but writing a film score is very different from writing a 2 - 5 minute song . air had written and performed the acclaimed score for the virgin suicides ( 1999 ) so they were in a much better position to understand the needs of a silent film than many of their brethren .\nthe provinces of ontario , saskatchewan , alberta and bc took fpcc and the american distribution cartel represented by the cmpda to court in ontario . after a lengthy trial , fpcc and other defendants were found not guilty on three counts of \u201cconspiracy and combination . \u201d the cooper organization re -

-\nin this film , a traditional ojibwa legend about a hungry hunter , a huge snake and a wily fox is told to a group of children . played by puppets , the characters assume increasingly human characteristics , ultimately delivering this moral : do not make promises you cannot keep .\nat film ' s end , it was noted that in the year 2002 , a new digital clock in the train station replaced the older one . and benjamin died the next year in 2003 . daisy held benjamin ( as an infant ) in her arms as he passed away .\nthis short documentary depicts an aboriginal winnipeg teen\u2019s struggle to stay in school and away from local gangs . filmed over 2 years , the film is a moving portrait of one family trying to break the cycle of addiction , violence and poverty in an environment filled with anger and despair .\nthe extraordinary voyage , the 2011 documentary that accompanies that home media release of a trip to the moon , shows how the restoration was achieved and how a combination of old - fashioned film work and the latest technology joined forces to save a movie that would otherwise have been lost .\noh , this film is a classic . the effects might seem crude by today\u2019s standards but this was revolutionary when it came out , and in that sense it\u2019s still impressive especially when you consider what other filmmakers were doing at the time ( the lumi\u00e8re bros . , for example ) .\nin summary , everyone except surprise fbi plant mr . green ( michael mckean ) , actually posing as a homosexual state department employee , had murdered someone that night . but then he exclaimed when the film was concluding that he had also killed master blackmailer mr . boddy , in the hall with a revolver :\na trip to the moon is an iconic silent film and probably the single most famous motion picture of the decade of the 1900s . it is also a window into a simpler age when it seemed that anything was possible in the movies . all i can say is that you really should see it for yourself .\nthe main avenue for the domestic distribution of nfb films was its non - theatrical \u201ccircuits\u201d system , which the bureau had also used . the circuits system distributed films via rural , industrial and union contacts , and eventually resulted in the creation of film libraries , which would become the centre of the nfb\u2019s postwar distribution system .\nthat was a good survey of the movie and its importance , fritzi . i think one of the first things that got me excited about searching on the web was finding a page on the trip to the moon operetta and the attraction at coney island\u2019s luna park . i didn\u2019t remember encountering them in film history books .\nthis was hollywood\u2019s first big film about the catholic abuse crisis , yet it gave us no more than a glimpse of the perpetrators . given that the latter have cost the us church $ 3 billion and unpicked some of the oldest fabric of american society , you\u2019d hope for at least one convincing portrayal of an abuser priest .\nin recent years , hollywood majors have flouted the 1988 policy , increasingly distributing small , independent films . trade organizations , such as the non - profit canadian association of film distributors and exporters ( cafde , established in 1991 ) , have called for renewed government attention to the distribution sector to combat the increasing encroachment of us outfits , urging more forceful application of the 1988 policy . part of this push includes lobbying governments to expand the definition of distribution to include new digital platforms , and working to see better funding strategies for prints and advertising ( key expenses in film distribution ) that would encourage reinvestment in the marketing \u2014 and production \u2014 of canadian feature films .\nin september 1918 , the federal government created the first national film production unit in the world , the exhibits and publicity bureau , to produce films promoting canadian trade and industry . the canadian government motion picture bureau ( the organization\u2019s name after 1 april 1923 ) produced short informational films , such as the series seeing canada , and distributed them across canada and abroad . in the 1920s , the bureau had the largest film production studio in canada . bureau productions were distributed across the commonwealth , to european nations like france and belgium , the united states , japan and china . its success in distribution was found in non - theatrical screenings , though some of its films were shown in theatres .\nthis triple - ended murder - mystery spoof set in the mid - 1950s in a remote new england mansion was a comic adaptation of the popular parker bros . board game . it was revealed in the third ending (\nthis is what really happened\n) , the most complex and believable of the multiple endings to the film , that :\nin the 1980s , several legislative initiatives emerged in an attempt to combat us monopolies in the hopes of keeping canadian - generated distribution and exhibition profits in the country . in 1983 , the province of quebec \u2014 which has its own effectively self - contained film industry , with a built - in , receptive audience \u2014 moved to challenge american control with the passage of the qu\u00e9bec cinema act . the act stipulated that distributors not already operating in qu\u00e9bec before december 1982 must have their primary location in the province in order to receive a distributor\u2019s licence . moreover , all distributors doing business in qu\u00e9bec were required to reinvest a minimum of 10 per cent of revenues back into qu\u00e9bec - made film productions .\nthe household disintegrates in the first minutes of the film . a fifth priest called father garcia ( marcelo alonso ) arrives , pursued by a drifter called sandokan ( roberto far\u00edas ) who stands outside the house and shouts details \u2014 more explicit than you can imagine , unless you have a truly filthy mind \u2014 of the sex acts this priest performed on him .\ndespite encouragement from such prominent hollywood figures as director d . w . griffith , who told a toronto audience that canada \u201cshould have [ its ] own films and exchange them with those of other countries , \u201d the federal government did little to boost , or even safeguard , the nation\u2019s nascent feature film industry . in fact , canadian companies structured themselves after the highly successful , vertically integrated american industrial model , whereby production studios also owned distributors and exhibitors . for example , in the early 1900s , the allen amusement corporation used their film exchange to obtain exclusive rights to films from path\u00e9 , independent motion pictures and later paramount pictures . as a result , by 1920 , the allen theatres chain was the largest in canada .\nstudying the voluminous files stored at the united states army document center , radmann finds his worst fears substantiated . he is encouraged in his investigations by fritz bauer , a real - life prosecutor wonderfully played by gert voss , who died in 2014 and to whom the film is dedicated . bauer wears an expression of wide - eyed , infinitely sad knowledge of evil .\nthe proposals encountered stiff opposition from the mpaa , and generated intense lobbying in both ottawa and washington . when the film products importation bill ( bill 109 ) was tabled in june 1988 , the original proposals had been weakened considerably and , during the free trade negotiations that followed , the federal government apparently agreed to abandon those as well . the bill was subsequently shelved .\nthe film opened with a significant prologue . it began with the story about a blind clockmaker named mr . gateau ( meaning cake ) who , after he lost his son in the great war ( in 1918 ) , created a train station clock that went backward in time . it was a symbolic gesture - an attempt to turn back time . the clockmaker explained , apologetically :\nthis film follows the aftermath of the oka crisis , which brought indigenous rights into sharp focus . after the barricades came down , the royal commission on aboriginal peoples was created , and travelled to more than 100 communities and heard from more than 1 , 000 representatives . for two - and - a - half years , teams of indigenous filmmakers followed the commission on its journey .\nnote : unless otherwise stated , the cited essays can be found in the anthology fantastic voyages of the cinematic imagination : georges m\u00e9li\u00e8s\u2019s trip to the moon . the book comes very highly recommended as a serious and scholarly dissection of this famous film , though it does occasionally become bogged down in its own jargon and does that kill - the - magic thing i have been talking about .\nwhen\nmonty\narrived at the right address for best buddy floyd , the scene of floyd ' s murder , he revealed his obvious guilt .\nmonty\nfled from police onto the street and was shot dead by finlay from a second story window , as the film concluded . finlay concluded :\nhe was dead for a long time . he just didn ' t know it .\nthis short documentary by celebrated filmmaker alanis obomsawin is a portrait of eugene\ngene boy\n( pronounced genie boy ) benedict , from odanak indian reserve ( near montreal , quebec ) . at 17 , he enlisted in the us marines and was sent to the frontlines of the vietnam war . this film is the account of his 2 years of service and his long journey back to odanak afterwards .\nthere were some classic set - pieces - the electrocution murder of a maintenance man - informant who was about to tell dr . wheeler about the conspiracy , her climb up a hospital ' s ladder ( shedding her shoes and pantyhose ) to follow the path of a tube that carried carbon monoxide from the hospital ' s basement to operating room # 8 , her tour visit to the jefferson institute where long - term comatose vegetative patients were taken from the hospital and suspended in a naked state by wires from the ceiling - and the pursuit - chase after her by security guards ending with her escape atop a emr vehicle , her stalking in the hospital ' s amphitheatre and an anatomy classroom by a hired assailant - and their confrontation in a morgue freezer filled with cadavers , and the concluding scene of dr . wheeler being unnecessarily operated on for appendicitis by dr . harris himself , who wished to silence her forever .\nin short order , canadian box office revenues were incorporated as part of the \u201cdomestic\u201d profits of the american film distributors . foreign companies overwhelmed the canadian distribution and exhibition sector as the major hollywood studios acquired direct or indirect control of the country\u2019s two largest theatrical chains : famous players and odeon theatres ( now merged under the name cineplex entertainment ) . this ensured a steady flow of hollywood films into canadian theatres .\nalso , further examination of the tale shows us that the story may not be as simple as we think . film historian matthew solomon points out that m\u00e9li\u00e8s 1890s political cartoons mocked militant nationalism and bullying colonialism . the whimsical path of destruction wrought by barbenfouillis and his associates suddenly takes on disturbing real - world implications . it\u2019s reasonable to conclude that m\u00e9li\u00e8s was not celebrating the violent expedition to the moon ; he was satirizing it .\ni enjoyed hearing the thoughts of the band members , which were included as an extra on the dvd / blu - ray release . air respected the film enormously but they did not want to be stuck in another time . they stated that they had no wish to be forgers , that is , replicating the sounds of 1902 exactly . rather , they wanted to include nods to the old days but make the score modern .\nthe film told about a moonlighting , kinky la street - walking , pill - popping prostitute named china blue ( kathleen turner ) who wore a platinum wig but by day worked as a prim but workaholic fashion designer named joanna crane . in a grungy downtown area filled with xxx adult stores , bars , live nude and peep shows , she wore a platinum wig and light blue silky dress and frequented the paradise isle hotel for tricks .\nit was weber who won him a contract at paramount and advised him to change his name to gardner , on the ground that goldberg was \u201ctoo jewish\u201d . gardner appeared opposite ruby keeler in shipmates forever ( 1935 ) , while in assassin of youth ( 1937 ) he played a reporter writing a story on the influence of marijuana on the youth of the day ; the film flopped at the time but has since become a cult classic .\ndirector david fincher ' s romantic fantasy was based upon f . scott fitzgerald ' s 1922 short story ( adapted for the screen by eric roth , with some modifications ) . its basic plot was about the title character , benjamin button ( portrayed by brad pitt ) , who was born old and grew younger as he aged in reverse ( both physically and mentally ) . its unusual premise was reflected in the film ' s many taglines :\nthen , about halfway through the film , he switched sides and thursby was recruited to work as a counter - intelligence double - agent for sunways . he was briefed by its head of security frank callaway ( timothy webber ) . sunways ' goal was to have thursby feed digicorp false and corrupted data to sabotage their operations . he wasn ' t aware that both companies were ruthless corporations that planned to eliminate him after he had completed his espionage operation .\nthe sleeper film opened inside an immense , b / w cube - shaped room , with vault - like doors situated in the center of its six square surfaces . each door led to another similar interlocking cubed room , although in different colors ( blue , red , amber , green , etc . ) . some of the maze - connected rooms were booby - trapped and triggered with motion - detectors , heat and sound sensors , and many destructive devices :\na film , also called a movie , motion picture or photoplay , is a series of still images which , when shown on a screen , creates the illusion of moving images due to the phi phenomenon . this optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession . a film is created by photographing actual scenes with a motion picture camera ; by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques ; by means of cgi and computer animation ; or by a combination of some or all of these techniques and other visual effects . the word\ncinema\n, short for cinematography , is often used to refer to the industry of films and filmmaking or to the art of filmmaking itself . the contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating experiences to communicate ideas , stories , perceptions , feelings , beauty or atmosphere by the means of recorded or programmed moving images along with other sensory stimulations .\nmovies had been in color since almost the beginning . in the case of m\u00e9li\u00e8s , certain films were meticulously colored by hand . a trip to the moon was one of these films . ( m\u00e9li\u00e8s painted his sets in black and white , assuring that they would film well on the primitive nitrate . ) when interest in this magician of early cinema was rekindled , the copies of a trip to the moon were battered , damaged , incomplete and in black and white .\ndaisy uttered her own last words :\ngood night , benjamin\n- with a symbolic hummingbird at her window . as she died , hurricane katrina struck the hospital and flooded the city of new orleans , including a warehouse where a reverse - running clock built for the train station ( at the time of benjamin ' s birth ) had been stored and was still functioning . benjamin ' s voice - over concluded the film , commenting on the diversity of human life :\nin 1946 , the motion picture export association of america ( mpeaa , now mpaa ) was established to promote hollywood productions in foreign markets . although the original vertical combines of the majors were broken up in 1948 under us antitrust legislation , the basic operating principle continued . most of hollywood\u2019s production is still controlled , and generally financed , by the major studios . the consecutive patterns of vertical integration and distributor - controlled production have continued to seriously impact the sustainability of the canadian film industry .\ni subscribe to the belief that music is as important as the images on the screen . so when a score is said to \u201cdraw attention to itself , \u201d that is not a bad thing in my book . a great many iconic sound film scores ( lawrence of arabia ; star wars ; alexander nevsky ; the good , the bad and the ugly ; yojimbo ; the elephant man ) do draw attention to themselves but they also support and harmonize with the images on the screen .\nstaff photo by charles boothe : many descendants of the late jack and howard bondurant attended the premiere showing of \u201clawless\u201d at the eagle cinema in rocky mount wednesday night . they gathered for a party at the cinema before seeing the film . sitting at the table in the foreground are , from left , carol bondurant ( wife of g . t . bondurant ) , jack bondurant\u2019s daughters , emmie lee gagni and betty lou mitchell , mitchell\u2019s husband howard , and jack bondurant\u2019s son , g . t . bondurant .\nyou can take any piece of wwii footage showing someone holding something to the side of their head talking , and claim it is a time traveling cell phone user ,\nmikkelson said .\nfilm clips aren ' t of sufficient resolution to see what the people are carrying . it could be anything from a handkerchief to a hearing aid , or who knows what . and this video is silent , so you can ' t even tell if the person is engaged in a two - way conversation .\nthe talkie revolution hit in the late 1920s and silent films were seen as relics . some were scavenged for footage to be glued into sound films . some were destroyed . some simply rotted away . around the time that al jolsen was declaring that we ain\u2019t seen nothing yet , interested parties in france were trying to track down and preserve the early history of film . in the case of m\u00e9li\u00e8s , after the collapse of his studio , he destroyed his own body of work , burning hundreds of his own films .\nthe earnest post - holocaust drama \u201c labyrinth of lies \u201d can be viewed as a sequel of sorts to \u201c judgment at nuremberg , \u201d the much - decorated 1961 stanley kramer film about the nuremberg trials of the 1940s , in which top - ranking nazis were tried for crimes against humanity . the trials are still imprinted in many people\u2019s minds as the ultimate moment of reckoning , after which a horrific chapter of history was more or less closed and the world moved on . of course , it wasn\u2019t as simple as that .\nin 1924 , the motion picture exhibitors and distributors of canada ( mpedc ) was created as an instrument to protect american film industry interests . known as the cooper organization , after its president , john alexander cooper , the organization took its direction ( and funding ) from the motion picture producers and distributors of america ( mppda ) . the cooper organization ensured that us industry practices were introduced , and cemented , in canada , particularly discriminatory methods ( such as requiring cash in advance ) aimed at curbing the success of independent exhibitors ."]}

apparently girly boy has deserted . when h and some friends are playing , h discovers girly boy in an old shack . horrified , h realizes that girly boy hanged himself to avoid serving in the war .\ntold from the viewpoint of the father morio ( yutaka mizutani ) ,\na boy called h\nfollows a young boy named hajime senoh , nicknamed\nh\n. his father , morio runs a tailor shop . with the onset of world war ii , their family must endure difficult times . nevertheless , h is filled with curiosity and a sense of justice . based on the autobiographical novel\nshonen h\nby kappa senoh ( published by kodansha , july 9 , 1999 ) .\nsenoh kappa ' s a boy called h , the english translation of sh\u00f4nen h , is the story of a bright , curious boy growing up in an unconventional family in kobe during japan ' s\n15 - year war .\nit is a tale of loss of innocence , as the boy ' s penchant for questioning everything is subject to the tightening constraints of the social , educational and political systems of a country increasingly entrenched in war and insistent that its entire population devote itself to ultimate victory .\nrising sun : the decline and fall of the japanese empire , 1936 - 1945 ( 1970 ) , by john toland , is a history of japan and its wars during the years covered by a boy called h . toland views the events largely from the japanese perspective .\nsiegenthaler , peter , review of a boy called h , in persimmon : asian literature , arts , and culture , vol . 1 , no . 2 , summer 2000 . available on the internet at urltoken ( last accessed december 23 , 2002 ) .\nthis is the fascinating true story of a japanese boy ' s growing disillusionment with the conduct of a patriotic war .\never since first grade at primary school , the boy had been dressed in a sweater with the name\nh . senoh\nknitted on the chest .\nin the winter of the previous year , when an actress called okada and a stage director called sugimoto had fled across the border into the soviet union , the papers had reported it and there ' d been a great fuss , but not a word appeared about the deliver boy from the noodle shop . it must be because he wasn ' t famous , h concluded . even so , it puzzled him how the police had got to know about him .\nthis work of oral history captures in the words of ordinary people exactly what it was like to live in japan during the time of japan ' s war with china and the united states . as in a boy called h , many japanese express a view of the war that is very different from the official versions .\nalthough a boy called h is an autobiographical novel , the story is told in the third rather than the first person . in this case , the point of view\u2014the consciousness through which the story is told\u2014is limited to h . other characters , and all situations and events , are seen through his eyes . and since h is a young boy , the style employed to convey his point of view is for the most part quite simple . the sentence structure is simple , and the vocabulary is appropriate for a boy of h ' s age . also , the story is told in a straightforward , chronological manner . there are no flashbacks ( except in chapter 2 , when h tells of his parents ' backgrounds ) or other more sophisticated literary devices .\nsenoh apparently recognized the validity of a number of yamanaka ' s claims about historical inaccuracies and revised later editions of sh\u00f4nen h , although the latter two concerns were not addressed by the author . a boy called h , based on the 18th printing published in september 1997 , reflects only some of the changes . as of february this year , the 29th printing was issued .\na look at day to day life of a school boy during war , told through short - story - like chapters . very good !\nmr . nakata is h ' s physics and chemistry teacher . he and h dislike each other .\nthis is the fascinating true story of a japanese boy ' s growing disillusionment with the conduct of a patriotic war . boy h ' s father was a tailor , his mother a tambourine - banging christian in a country of very few christians . his childhood unfolded in the 1930s , when militarism was steadily strengthening its grip on japan ; it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apa\nitchan is a close friend of h at primary ( or national ) school . h confides in him that he owns a postcard from new york and talks to itchan about the united states . itchan passes this information on to another boy , who writes\nspy\non h ' s desk in chalk . however , h and itchan are soon reconciled .\nif taken as an artistic attempt to explain why japan continued along the path to what in retrospect can only be seen as its inevitable self - destruction , then a boy called h serves as a valuable aid for those who did not live through that process to be more compassionate with those who did . as such , it is well worth reading .\nokubo is a friend of h in second middle school . like h , okubo does not believe the official versions of the war .\nafter a number of visits to his room , h found himself liking the delivery boy more and more and decided that as a mark of respect he ' d give him the nickname\nred label .\nyet any astute reader should see a boy called h as a literary work . each chapter is neatly constructed to make a single point and could stand alone as a short story , complete with beginning , middle and end . senoh said on a tv talk show that the chapters were written so that they would not have to be read in any particular order . indeed , the author often explains characters and h ' s current situation in a way that appears redundant to someone who is reading the book straight through .\na boy called h begins in 1937 . h ( short for hajime ) lives in kobe with his father , mother , and younger sister . h is about seven years old . japan is at war with china , and this conflict forms the background for the early part of the novel . it can be seen when h befriends a young man who works at the noodle shop and is shocked when his friend is arrested by the police as a communist and made to join the army . another of h ' s friends , the projectionist at the movie theater , hangs himself rather than be drafted into the army .\nin 1997 , senoh published his autobiographical novel a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan . this work was his first venture into full - length book form . the novel was a best - seller in japan and other countries in asia , selling over two million copies . it was adapted for the stage , and a television dramatization was made in 1999 . the novel was translated into english in 1999 .\na boy called h is carefully constructed to recreate the boy ' s development . the first chapters artfully illustrate his early innocence , curiosity and exuberance with a series of anecdotes reminiscent of the adventures of tom sawyer and huckleberry finn . like mark twain , senoh kappa narrates the story from the perspective of the youth , so that we see all his questions and confusion about the complex social issues in the world around him , but in a way that allows the more informed adult reader to laugh gently at his foibles .\ni was also intrigued by yasuo fuhata ' s a boy called h ( 2013 ) a japanese film about a protestant christian tailor ' s family ' s experiences throughout the imperialistic surge and subsequent american occupation as seen through the eyes of the young son ,\nh\n( hajime ) . the child actors were quite compelling and it is an interesting story of survival and preservation among what many saw as mass hysteria . the there was the compelling coming of age story ,\nwhen first published in japan in 1997 , a boy called h quickly became a best - seller . over two million copies were sold , and critics hailed the book as an outstanding example of literature about world war ii , although there was also a feeling that the book was not absolutely reliable in its historical details . most of these details were minor . for example , in an incident that takes place in the book in the summer of 1942 , h ' s sister sings a patriotic song that was not published until 1945 .\nat his new school , h joins the riding club and learns how to ride a difficult horse called kamikeru . but he runs foul of inspector tamori , who is in charge of military training . tamori is furious when he discovers in h ' s notebook a drawing of a nude woman , copied from a painting by manet . to escape tamori , h joins the rifle club , where he learns military drills and target practice . this training culminates in an arduous night march .\nsumiyama , a friend of h in second middle school , is kind to h when h ' s house is burned down . sumiyama also enthusiastically practices how to fight and kill enemy soldiers if they should land in japan .\nafter the war began with china , the government expected the press to be loyal to the japanese cause , and restrictions were placed on it . any news regarding the economy or foreign events was considered to be a state secret and could not be published without permission . ( in a boy called h , h frequently expresses annoyance and frustration at the number of things that are declared state secrets . ) further regulations made it a punishable offense to deviate from official guidelines or to reveal any information considered helpful to the enemy .\nhe did his rounds on a bicycle , singing loudly as he pedaled along . that was what attracted h : whenever he heard the delivery boy singing he ' d jump on his own bike and pedal off after him .\niwao hayashi is a friend of h . they are in the same grade at primary school . hayashi is a champion wrestler ; he is also intelligent and like h is good at drawing .\nthroughout a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan , h continues to have troubling thoughts that explore the ethics of war . his musings are mature for a person his age , probably in part because his parents are thoughtful and deviate from the norm . keeping his thoughts to himself , or occasionally confiding to a few like - minded adults ( including his father ) , h questions the official party line and finds discrepancies in news coverage of the war . in some cases , h realizes that his views differ from those of his friends or his teachers . in riskier instances , he is silent , as when he is interviewing for a slot in school and is asked about his opinion on the war . a reviewer in publishers weekly suggests that this discrepancy\nholm is a freelance writer with speculative fiction and nonfiction publications . in this essay , holm looks at how senoh captures the insidious effects of war in a young boy ' s daily life .\nmuneo ogura is a close friend of h toward the end of his time at second middle school .\nhe remembered various things now : how his friend had looked almost angry when he ' d called him\nred label ,\nand forbidden him to use the nickname ; the large number of records and books that he ' d had ; and the awkward look on his face when h had said\nsomething private to talk about .\nno , he hadn ' t been an ordinary delivery boy .\nfor those of us in a country that has never seen traditional warfare on its soil , it can be difficult to imagine the day - to - day realities of living in a nation under attack . even news coverage cannot come close to capturing the insidious ways that war can affect individual lives . kappa senoh ' s fictionalized autobiography , a boy called h : a childhood in wartime japan , does a fantastic job of capturing the process of war and its increasing presence in the life of h and others . the book ' s precocious protagonist does not flinch from making his views about war known to the reader , even though h feels he must keep his opinions to himself in many public situations .\nboy h ' s father was a tailor , his mother a tambourine - banging christian in a country of very few christians . his childhood unfolded in the 1930s , when militarism was steadily strengthening its grip on japan ; it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apart from other kids , despite the shared preoccupation with schoolmates , movies , and sex , was an unusually sharp eye and a precociously skeptical attitude that made him a bit of a loner in a conformist society .\nset in 1950s tuscany , voice from the stone is the haunting and suspenseful story of verena , a solemn nurse drawn to aid a young boy who has fallen silent since the sudden passing of his mother .\nbut h ' s life has its troubles .\nmaps and eggs\ndescribes the futile efforts h and his parents make to curb his bed - wetting . and in\nlove ,\nh learns to his embarrassment that the word love can have many different connotations . in\na boy and a sea ,\nhe and his friends row a dinghy too far from the shore and endanger themselves . then torrential rains drench kobe for days and lead to a serious flood . in his borrowed book the three treasures , h secretly reads children ' s stories in a book he borrows from a friend , even though his mother disapproves of his reading fiction .\nwhat !\nh exclaimed in surprise .\nis yoshie a man ?\nyoshie was more common as a woman ' s name .\ndone in white on a dark brown background , the name stood out even at a distance . but the boy , far from sharing his mother ' s pride andpleasure , found the idea of wearing something so different from other boys ' clothes a major embarrassment .\nthis is the fascinating true story of a japanese boy ' s growing disillusionment with the conduct of a patriotic war . boy h ' s father was a tailor , his mother a tambourine - banging christian in a country of very few christians . his childhood unfolded in the 1930s , when militarism was steadily strengthening its grip on japan ; it ended when the nation lay in ruins . what set h apart from other kids , despite the shared preoccupation with schoolmates , movies , and sex , was an unusually sharp eye and a precociously skeptical attitude that made him a bit of a loner in a conformist society . though at times dark , his anecdotes are arranged with the lightest of touches and a sharp sense of humor . the total effect is of a rich , varied , and intensely readable novel , but one that involves real lives , actual events .\nh didn ' t know what an intellectual type of criminal was . but took it as a compliment .\nnot\nryohei koiso , a well - known artist , helps h in his studies after he graduates from second middle school .\nhazel rochman , in booklist , commenting on how world war ii becomes increasingly real for h , noted that\nthe writing is quiet , almost detached at times , until you come to realize that the young boy is fighting emotional breakdown .\nalmost every evening after that , h went to the young man ' s room .\nalso called h , hajime senoh is the son of morio and toshika senoh . as a young boy in primary school he is intelligent and mischievous . according to his father , hajime has a habit of saying the first thing that comes into his head . hajime learns ways of getting what he wants even if he has to be devious . when he has no money but wants to see a\npuppet peepshow\nat a fairground , he tries to scare off the adults who are watching it by telling them they can contract an eye disease by touching the lens . significantly , his favorite god in japanese myth is susanowo , who has a reputation for behaving badly .\nwith a smile , the other took a box down from a shelf , put some dark - colored beans in it , and ground them with a loud rasping sound . there was a smell rather like tobacco , which h found a bit disturbing , but he did his best not to show it .\nuncle hadano is a civil engineer . he is a close friend of the senoh family , and that is why h calls him uncle , although he is not a blood relative . h is fond of him and regards him as another father . the affection is mutual . h stays with uncle hadano for a while towards the end of the war . uncle hadano gets sick with cancer and dies shortly afterwards .\na recurring theme in a boy called h is the extent to which the japanese newspapers during wartime did not report the truth . h gets frustrated with what he reads about the war because he senses , as does his father , that they are not getting the whole story . when the first air raids are made on kobe , the newspaper headlines read ,\nthe neighborhood association spirit beats the raiders .\nthis puzzles h because he knows that , in fact , the air raid had taken the neighborhood association by surprise and that , in practice , the hazards of putting out fires were nothing like the smooth drills they had been regularly practicing . also , someone is killed in that first raid , but the newspapers fail to report it . h decides that the newspapers\nare just a pack of lies !\nand he does not change his opinion from then on .\nh ' s father takes him to a restaurant , and h is allowed into the adjoining movie theater for his first taste of a film . not long after this experience , h gets a chance to make money of his own through an ingenious arrangement . he resells the paste that his father uses in his tailoring business to his school friends for use in their handicraft classes .\nso from third grade on it was agreed that it should be just the letter h .\nsince pencils often had\nh\nengraved on them , it was one letter of the alphabet that everyone could read , and in no time\nh\nbecame his nickname .\nh was startled ; he ' d never been shouted at like that by him before .\none of the best books i have ever read . it provides a highly descriptive and personal account of growing up in kobe during ww2 . the author covers day to day details of his life as a student in a world that was becoming more difficult to live in by the day . food shortages , brutal treatment by teachers , work in the factories and h ' s growing sense of disillusionment with those who were promoting the wartime propaganda are vividly portrayed . h also shows his own transformation from a young boy to hi\nwith a true nonconformist ' s mentality , h makes it clear early on that he respects people who stand for their principles . though his mother has forbidden him to read anything but the bible and textbooks , she finds that he is secretly reading the three treasures ( h loves books and movies ) . when she confronts an unsuspecting teacher about this , the teacher covers for h , saying that reading such books was good for h , and reading only the bible\nwasn ' t likely to do [ children ] much good .\nh admires the pragmatism and forthright nature of the teacher . given such glimpses at h ' s parents , it is easy to see how such a young protagonist developed such a questioning and intelligent nature . although his mother is an evangelist , she is at least willing to change her stance regarding h ' s reading material after meeting with the teacher . h ' s father also has a number of interesting discussions with h on the subjects of war , tolerance for other religions and cultures , and ethics . at one point , h ' s father tells the boy ,\nif you ' re going to call religions that other people believe in ' heathen , ' you can ' t complain if other people refer to christianity as heathen .\nh , who knew what\ninforming\nmeant , felt his heart begin to thump suffocatingly .\nh is indeed horrified , even if the tone of the narrative is relatively subdued . in fact , throughout the book , h seems to process many horrifying experiences in a subdued , almost clinical way . it is difficult to tell whether this is part of the author ' s style or whether the protagonist , as reviewer hazel rochman suggests in booklist , sounds detached because\nthe young boy is fighting emotional breakdown .\nh notes that the paper never reports on the incident . throughout the book , he ' ll continually notice discrepancies between reality and what the news reports , especially as the war accelerates . and possibly , for the first time in his life , the concept of being an informant is really understood by the boy . he begins to fear that noodles will think h informed on him .\nin an interesting scene toward the end of the book , h expresses sudden joy that the war is over . his friend is upset with h ' s reaction and joy , since the friend ' s family members are potentially dead or injured because of the war . the friend smacks h in anger , and h experiences a sudden catharsis .\nsuddenly , the tear spilled from h ' s eyes too\u2014not from regret at the defeat , but out of sheer , frustrated puzzlement as to what the war had been all about .\nh fights with his conscience through much of the book . in showing this , senoh has made the book completely readable , since h is confronting aspects of the human condition others can relate to .\nh ' s own favorite was the young man at the noodle shop farther along from them on the other side of the main street . the grownups living thereabouts couldn ' t quite place him .\nseems he ' s from tokyo ,\nthey ' d say .\nhe looks too smart for a delivery boy .\nyokota is a friend of h , and h considers him to be worldly - wise . yokota is one of the students who participates with h on the arduous night march and other military drills . he and h go on a secret riding excursion together and are consequently expelled from the riding club . yokota ' s family home is burned down following the big air raid on kobe in 1945 . not long after this event , his father is killed in action in the south pacific .\nlurking behind the day - to - day experiences of the growing boy is the specter of the imperialism and militarism that characterized japanese society in the 1930s and continued until the japanese defeat in 1945 . imperialism and militarism are apparent almost from the beginning , in the passing reference to the neighborhood celebrations that followed the fall of nanking , china , to invading japanese forces in 1937 . h is affected by the war when he is only seven years old , when two of his friends are called up to the army . one of them commits suicide rather than enlist .\nlieutenant tamori is the teacher in charge of military training at h ' s second middle school . all the students fear him . he is known as\nhis lechery\nbecause not only does he cultivate an imperious manner , he also makes inappropriate inquiries about the boys ' sisters . tamori takes a dislike to h when he finds h ' s sketch of a female nude in his notebook . in another incident , tamori hits h for what he regards as an insolent remark . h joins the rifle club to escape him . later he hears a rumor that some years earlier , tamori ' s wife ran off with another man . this information makes h believe that tamori must be lonely , and he feels compassion for him .\nit is immediately after the girly boy incident that h ' s true feelings about war begin to become clear . h begins to have the courage to process such thoughts internally , even though they run counter to what the government would have the public believe about the war . with surprising clarity for a young child , and an unusual lack of fear at the circumstances , h reflects on the situation .\nhis friend hadn ' t wanted to be a soldier , he thought to himself : suicide was the only alternative . he wondered if hanging himself had seemed better than being killed by a bullet on the battlefield .\nmorio is unfailingly kind and attentive to h , always ready to give him sound advice . even when h throws a rice pot lid at him and walks out of the house , morio does not blame him and welcomes him back with warmth .\nyou thought he was a woman , did you ? he ' s a famous tenor . of course he ' s a man . ' like a feather in the wind ' is a famous aria .\nyoshiko senoh , h ' s sister , is two years younger than h . she likes to cling to her older brother , and h finds this attachment a nuisance . but in one incident yoshiko shows him kindness and he thinks better of her . this event occurs when she insists on eating with the fork that has one prong missing , even though it was h who broke the fork . yoshiko is evacuated to the countryside when the air raids start .\nverena is a young nurse hired to help a mute young heir within an isolated castle in tuscany . the more she observes the boy , the more verena becomes convinced he has fallen under the spell of a powerful and otherworldly persona trapped in the castle ' s stone walls , one that seems to be quickly approaching on her .\nthe defeat on guadalcanal was also initially reported as a success , until , as h found out , it was conceded that japanese forces had made a\nsideward advance\n( which as shillony shows is a translation of the japanese word tenshin and is the equivalent of the phrase\nadvancing in another direction\nthat h reads about ) .\ni think i ' ll like it when i ' ve had it a few times and get used to the bitterness ,\nsaid h .\nbased on kappa senoh ' s 3 . 4 million selling autobiographical novel , this film set during the first half of the 1940s is a coming of age story with a twist , featuring a young boy named hajime ( nicknamed\nh\n) . their family is quite worldly compared to their community , his mother is a devout christian and his father is a tailor working with many expatriates in kobe . as patriotic world war ii unfolds , hajime ' s understanding of the world is challenged but his survival spirit shines through .\nh didn ' t want to go home yet , so he pressed him to play something else instead .\nthe hero is dubbed\nh\nby his friends because his mother , inspired by a photograph she received from a foreign missionary friend , has knit the first letter of the boy ' s name , hajime , into a sweater that he often wears . both of his parents are devout christians with many contacts in the foreign community of kobe , and both strive to live according to their principles , especially by showing brotherly love to all people .\nwhile this reviewer might find that these\nbig questions\nwould have been dealt with more directly had h voiced them aloud , h does , on many occasions , struggle with the questions internally , giving the reader a good argument regarding the ethics of war .\nset in kobe in the early showa period . hajime ( yoshioka tatsuki ) , known as\nh\n, is an intensely curious boy with a strong sense of justice . he grows up loved by his liberal father morio ( mizutani yutaka ) and christian mother toshiko ( ito ran ) , but the war soon casts its shadow on hajime ' s life .\neven though japan is not at war in the beginning of this book , the stage is being set as the author skillfully accents aspects of h ' s life that will later prove to have a direct relationship , in some way , to war . early on , h ' s mother is described as an ardent christian . the practice of christianity is not the norm during this period in japan . h ' s mother came from a family of buddhists , and\nno one had dreamed for a moment that she might become christian , and it caused quite a stir in the village .\nlater , h ' s family is suspect in a general way , as wartime propaganda paints a picture of christianity as the religion of the\nbritish and american fiends .\nh ' s family is considered unusual in the community of kobe , since h ' s father is a tailor and has customers of all nationalities ( kobe has an international population ) . as the wartime situation becomes more tense , h ' s family needs to consider how openly they can practice their religion . h ' s father wonders if he ' ll still have international customers and how his business will fare .\nhudson loverro , left , as a younger version of the character mr . thornton plays , with richard h . blake in the role of his father .\nh ' s transition from childhood to early adulthood is apparent in several major episodes . firing live ammunition with the school rifle club for the first time is a significant moment , for example . so are the many times when he questions the validity of reports he reads in the newspapers about the progress of war . but the most important episode is when the family home is set on fire following an american air raid with incendiary bombs . fifteen - year - old h immediately takes charge , giving his mother instructions about what to do and dousing a quilt in water so that they can put it over their heads as they flee . when his mother stops to pray , he tells her they must keep moving . in fact , she has fainted , and h ' s slaps get her conscious again . then they come upon a woman whose son is badly injured . h almost faints at the sight of the blood , but he regains control of himself and offers the woman his flask of water , which she gives to the boy . but this is not enough to save him . for the first time h witnesses death , and h feels compassion for the dead boy\u2014at least he is no longer in pain .\nh is a nonconformist and a pragmatist . he is also a survivor . it ' s no surprise , therefore , when h begins to pursue a career as an artist toward the end of the book . many artists , through their work , pursue an ideal of telling the truth , of speaking the truth and letting it be known . although the character h may hesitate , out of necessity , to voice his opinions , the author has used effective honesty in giving us a look at the difficult ethics and the surrealistic everyday life in wartime japan .\nthe military exercises continue . h fires live ammunition for the first time and discovers that he is a good shot . another military exercise involves students simulating leaping up from a hiding place in the ground and throwing a grenade at an enemy tank .\nfuruta is one of the members of the second middle school rifle club , and he encourages h to join .\ni know it !\nh burst out .\nit ' s a nice aria , isn ' t it ,\nhe added self - consciously .\nthree men in black who ' d got onto the roof from the drying platform leapt on him from in front and behind and pinned him down . there was a short struggle with loud cries of\nhey ! stop !\nbefore someone called out\ngot him !\nand the young man disappeared with them over the roof to the other side .\nthis movie portrays the life of a tailor and his family from their boy ' s viewpoint . the locale is kobe , japan before , under and after the ww2 . the husband and wife are protestant christians , minority in japanese society even today . the father looks confident as a tailor , always having positive view of life . the mother has strong sense of mission as a christian , sometimes excessively strong faith . for the boy , having such mother sometimes makes his daily life difficult , but thanks to his father who even takes him to his foreign clients , the boy learns a lot in life . as the nation goes towards militarism and fascism , tribulations come to the christian home . as people see christians close to foreigners and thus suspect them of spying . the father ' s attitude for each issue is reassuring . from his attitude after the war , we can see it is not only his faith but also his pride as a professional tailor that support him . as a movie that portrays japan around the war , and as a movie that portrays a family , i think shonen h will be seen for long . since the plot is written from the child ' s viewpoint , it has simple plot structure , without any side stories . therefore everyone may have own sentiment . as for acting performance , the boy and the girl act very well . when the girl is sent for evacuation , getting on the train , she is nearly crying . the boy quirks his face to make her laugh , and the girl ' s face becomes half smiling and half crying . her face is unforgettable .\nlimited -

spoken young man at a local shop bellowed out a speech welcoming his draft notice , morio points out that\nhe probably has this basic idea that it ' s a man ' s duty to give up his life for his country ,\nand even though his\nmother and the others in his family don ' t want to lose him ,\nhe\nmay well have wanted to declare to himself and everyone else that [ he ] \u2026 was a real man now .\nh also sees morio himself slowly becoming more circumspect , even in his conversations with his son , since the child ' s bragging that his father has a picture postcard of a tall building in america is enough to get morio dragged into the police station for questioning .\nh was particularly fond of the sea . rushing out of the house wearing nothing but a loincloth , he would race down the street and plunge straight into the water .\nno , i won ' t tell anybody ,\nsaid h .\nhere\u0097let ' s swear on it .\nhe crooked a finger and held it out .\nhe lowered the needle gently onto the record . there was a scratchy noise for a moment , then suddenly the sound of a male voice singing .\nbased on the autobiographical novel\nshonen h\nby kappa senoh ( published by kodansha , july 9 , 1999 ) .\nso during the summer holiday h ' s mornings were spent climbing in the hills and his afternoons swimming in the sea .\nnoodles slapped playfully at h ' s head .\ni can see you ' re the intellectual type of criminal .\nthere are certain books a person must read about wwii , and i think this is one of them . it is about a boy growing up in kobe and the war going on around him . the boy , hajime , is unusually perceptive and his father is also very wise . his parents ( especially his mother ) are christians . hajime is good at art and ended up becoming an artist and writer . i looked at kappa senoh ' s biography on google and his real name is indeed hajime senoh . i don ' t personally believe that this book is strictly autobiog\nh does not want to be a tailor like his father . instead , his greatest talent is drawing , and at the age of sixteen he resolves to become an artist .\nthe fellow looked taken aback for a moment , then said ,\nit ' s a friend i haven ' t seen for a long time .\nh , sensing that he was being treated as an adult , felt pleased and said ,\nthat doesn ' t bother me . yes , please .\nthey always drank black tea at h ' s home . he ' d never once had coffee .\nbut while calogero\u2019s father , lorenzo ( richard h . blake ) , assures him that he was right to clam up \u2014 \u201cyou did a good thing for a bad man , \u201d he tells him \u2014 lorenzo ( mr . de niro in the movie ) grows increasingly alarmed when sonny begins taking calogero under his wing , giving him the nickname c and having him run errands , quite profitable ones . as boy grows to teenager , his hero worship only increases , and lorenzo and sonny engage in a tense tug of war for calogero\u2019s soul .\nthe way h rode his bike , unfortunately , was not exactly graceful . they ' d bought him , secondhand , an adult ' s bike , and his feet wouldn ' t reach the pedals if he sat on the saddle , so he had to put his foot through from the side . even so , he got up quite a good speed and would tail the delivery boy closely , singing along with him as he went .\nsometimes plain old pasta with red sauce is just what the doctor ordered . \u201ca bronx tale , \u201d which opened at the longacre theater on broadway on thursday , might be called the musical - theater equivalent of that classic comfort food . it doesn\u2019t break ground or dazzle with an unusual recipe \u2014 like , say , mixing rap and american history \u2014 but it delivers reliable pleasures with polished professionalism and infectious energy .\nliving in a temporary dwelling with his family , h gets angry about everything he does not like . under emotional strain , he quarrels with his parents and leaves home . he intends to commit suicide by lying under a train but pulls back at the last minute . for a while he lives in secret in a building at the school . unsure of whether he will be allowed to graduate , he decides to study art . he seeks out a well - known artist , who allows him to work at his studio . the novel ends with h working as a sign painter during the day and studying at night with fellow artists at a studio .\nlater it turns out that noodles is captured right in h ' s neighborhood ; and that noodles is thought to be a communist informant . but when h hears the neighbors talking about the incident and tries to decipher their meaning , he is brushed aside .\n' what ' re dangerous thoughts ? who ' re the secret police ? ' h asked them anxiously , but the grown - ups suddenly clammed up . ' keep your voice down , ' he was told with a look of fierce disapproval .\nthis is an intensely real , human reaction\u2014one that any reader who has taken a risk ( or considered taking a risk ) in voicing a dissenting opinion will recognize .\nhe sounded so firm about it that h said in a knowing voice ,\nall right , i won ' t . i expect you ' ve got something private to talk about .\na few days after the bombing , h observes the area around hyogo station , which is completely leveled . dead bodies yet to be cremated are visible in the area . it is a sobering moment for h , who as a result of the air raid has been forced to lose any childhood innocence he may have had left :\n' so this is war , ' he thought as he gazed over the seemingly endless sea of destruction .\nothers tend to see h as an odd boy , although he has plenty of friends at school . but he is always questioning authority and asking awkward questions about why things are as they are . he is puzzled by the adults who say that everything that happens in the war is the will of the emperor , since h cannot see how the emperor can possibly be aware of all the things being done in his name . h ' s instincts are pacifistic , and he does not want to join the rifle club because he feels it is too warlike . he makes up his own version of a patriotic jingle , neatly reversing its meaning . he becomes exasperated when he realizes that the newspapers are not telling the truth about the war ."]}

( he lived with the composer peter jones for several years , but they broke up . ) after all , sondheim characterized himself as\nthe boy in the bubble ,\nand he has remained that enclosed child for 70 - plus years . more than once , he has stated that he\nnever grew up ,\nand that self - appraisal seems to contain more candor than caricature .\nhave theatergoers stayed away because sondheim ' s melodies can be as elusive as anything leonard bernstein ever wrote ? yet he can also compose tunes that a stone could hum :\nsend in the clowns ,\nfor example , a melody heard in elevators and restaurants around the world .\nlapine draws on a treasure trove of sondheim interviews so deftly woven together ( credit miky wolf\u2019s editing ) that the composer of such shows as \u201ccompany , \u201d \u201csweeney todd\u201d and \u201csunday in the park with george\u201d is occasionally found beginning a story in one broadway venue and finishing it in another .\nsondheim licked his wounds and pressed on . the recent assassins sought to send up the american\ncan - do\nspirit . staged like a carnival , it put such presidential killers as john wilkes booth and lee harvey oswald up against wannabes like lynette\nsqueaky\nfromme and sarah jane moore , the two women who tried to slay gerald ford . the nineteenth - century assassins exchanged thoughts with their twentieth - century counterparts , with everyone egging everyone else on between songs . the numbers represented sondheim at his most perverse : vinegary music and a series of cynical internal rhymes :\nthe baltimore office of promotion & the arts is excited to announce the 12th annual janet & walter sondheim artscape prize . applications are now being accepted for the prestigious competition which awards a $ 25 , 000 fellowship to a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living and working in the baltimore region .\nthe song , letting the audience know that they were about to see a knockdown farce set to music , turned fortunes around . forum opened at the alvin theater in may 1968 and ran for 964 performances\u2014a longer broadway run than west side story , than gypsy , than any subsequent sondheim show .\nreviewers and feature writers tended to be respectful rather than ecstatic , but their enthusiasm picked up considerably when sunday won the pulitzer prize\u2014only the sixth musical to win the award . the pulitzer committee may well have had in mind frank rich ' s shrewd comment in the times :\nthis protagonist is possibly a double for mr . sondheim at his most self - doubting . . . . in keeping with his setting , mr . sondheim has written a lovely , wildly inventive score that sometimes remakes the modern french composers whose revolution in music paralleled the post - impressionists ' in art .\ngypsy was another smash , annihilating any fears of a sophomore jinx and propelling sondheim to his primary goal : writing words and music for a major musical comedy . a funny thing happened on the way to the forum was the writer ' s true proving ground . for even with the explosively comic zero mostel , the roman farce bombed out of town ; no one in the audience seemed to know what the show was about . over a weekend in washington , d . c . , sondheim crafted a new opener , the chorale\ncomedy tonight .\nit provided a billboard for all that was to follow :\nthis morning , tuesday june 21st , the baltimore museum of art , in partnership with the baltimore office of promotion & the arts , closed the museum for a press preview of the janet & walter sondheim artscape prize finalists exhibition , before it opens to the public on wednesday , june 22 \u2013 sunday july 31st .\nsondheim ' s rendition\nseemed so autobiographical ,\nwalton observed .\nit made me think of noel coward on his seventieth birthday , singing , ' all i ' ve had is a talent to amuse . '\narthur laurents agreed :\ni always thought that song would be steve ' s epitaph .\nover the last ten years , almost all of sondheim ' s musicals have enjoyed revivals , either on broadway or the west end ( even a 40 - minute sketch , the frogs , wound up as a lively two - hour off - broadway farce . ) yet the composer refused to satisfy himself with sights in his rearview mirror . for the 1994 musical passion , an adaptation of an obscure italian film , he again tried something completely new . weary of operatic , showstopping moments that brought the action to a halt , he crafted his songs to begin and end in dialogue , with no opportunities for applause . to his dismay , it turned out that audiences wanted the show to stop after big arias by the lead , donna murphy . denied the opportunity , they grew restive . word of mouth was extremely negative , and the show closed before the season was out .\nthe artscape prize is named in honor of janet and walter sondheim who have been instrumental in creating the baltimore city that exists today . walter sondheim , jr . had been one of baltimore\u2019s most important civic leaders for over 50 years . his accomplishments included oversight of the desegregation of the baltimore city public schools in 1954 when he was president of the board of school commissioners of baltimore city . later , he was deeply involved in the development of charles center and the inner harbor . he continued to be active in civic and educational activities in the city and state and served as the senior advisor to the greater baltimore committee until his death in february 2007 .\nstill hard at work at a craft that he says requires only more courage with age , sondheim hasn ' t always received the appreciation he deserves . those who radically advance their art forms rarely do . so it ' s gratifying to see him recognized as one of the immortals while he ' s still around to enjoy it .\neric kruszewski , a photographer and filmmaker based in washington , d . c . , has undertaken an in - depth exploration of the pioneering lead ministry initiated by saint matthew catholic church in baltimore . lead ( lgbt educating and affirming diversity ) supports the lesbian , gay , bisexual , and transgender members of its parish and the broader community . in addition to documenting the work of lead\u2019s director , father joseph muth jr . , kruszewski conducted interviews with a variety of members of the saint matthew community to reveal the varied backgrounds that have led to their participation in lead .\nshooting down canards is one of sondheim ' s great hobbies , and a great number of clips are devoted to him dismantling false assumptions about his work . of course his music doesn ' t need to be defended against charges that it lacks a heart or isn ' t sufficiently hummable . all it needs is to be listened to .\ntantalizing archival footage of ethel merman in\ngypsy\nand bernadette peters in\nsunday in the park with george\nreminds us of just how many superstar careers have fatefully intersected with sondheim ' s . he refers to himself as a broadway baby and his theatrical legacy is inseparable from all those performers whose legends were sealed in his shows .\nover the next few years , hammerstein encouraged and instructed as sondheim worked on various experiments , from a musical adaptation of the old george s . kaufman - marc connelly comedy beggar on horseback to an adaptation of a serious play , maxwell anderson ' s high tor . none reached the public , but all were stepping - stones to broadway .\nin 1973 , a group of singers offered a one - night tribute to the composer , featuring songs going back to saturday night . that event , coupled with the release of the original - cast album of follies , prompted new york times critic john s . wilson to assess sondheim ' s achievement .\nhe is , in effect , a summation and an elevation of all the lyric writing that has gone before him . to have this made clear in an evening ' s program of 40 songs covering 20 years is impressive . but to find this point being made with equal clarity in a single score is an indication of the creative level at which sondheim has arrived .\nartscape america\u2019s largest free arts festival , attracting more than 350 , 000 attendees , offers concerts on multiple outdoor stages , art exhibitions , an artists\u2019 market , a full schedule of dance , theater and opera , jazz , classical , folk and experimental music , children\u2019s activities , exhibitors , and an extensive variety of local food and beverage vendors on mount royal avenue and north charles street . artscape runs from july 21 through july 23 . the festival\u2019s total economic impact on baltimore city is $ 25 . 97 million , according to a 2012 study by the baltimore office of promotion & the arts .\nthe baltimore office of promotion & the arts announces the semifinalists for the 11 th annual janet & walter sondheim artscape prize . the competition awards a $ 25 , 000 fellowship to assist in furthering the career of a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living and working in the greater baltimore region . for 2016 , 39 individual artists have been selected as semifinalists .\na sprightly new filmed version of\nopening doors\nwith darren criss , america ferrera and jeremy jordan entrusts to the next generation this singing portrait of young artists in their salad days . sondheim refers to this as his most explicitly autobiographical number , explaining that his usual songwriting practice is to inhabit the situation of his characters the way an actor inhabits a role .\nrrived\u201d was the operative word . sondheim had now achieved the status of cult figure , and from here on , whatever he wrote enjoyed a respectful , if not down - right awed , reception from a growing group of enthusiasts that included reviewers , cabaret singers , and non - showbiz\ncivilians\nwho made bestsellers of the original - cast recordings of his productions .\nyet though sondheim has won greater academic honors than rodgers , berlin , hart , the gershwins , and other front - rank showmen , he has paid a price for his critical renown . save for a handful of numbers , it is unlikely that 50 years from now popular entertainers will sing his songs and that the general public\u2014those uncelebrated people who finally determine which broadway and tin pan alley figures enter the pantheon\u2014will cherish them . such eminence was well within sondheim ' s reach , but he didn ' t take that road . he had better things to do . for better or worse , he still does . at 74 , the boy in the bubble can ' t be bothered with popularity . he ' s too busy making a hat .\nthe baltimore office of promotions & the arts ( bopa ) has announced seven finalists for the 2014 janet & walter sondheim artscape prize , including two mica connections . sixteen members of the mica community are among the semi - finalists . the prize awards a $ 25 , 000 fellowship to assist the career of a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living in the greater baltimore region .\nas a young man caught in the crossfire of his parents ' nasty divorce , sondheim found sanctuary in the hammerstein household . looking back as an older man , he speculates that he might not be alive were it not for hammerstein ' s benevolent interest in him . no one taught him more about the life - changing impact of teaching , which he calls\nthe sacred profession .\nthis number , deriding the fakery of the street - smart wise guys and exposing the emerging social - work and psychiatric no - fault orthodoxy , was remarkably prescient . bernstein , who later personified radical chic in his support of the black panthers , would never return to the attitude of\nkrupke .\nand sondheim edged away from it , too , until he seemed to embrace what he once ridiculed .\net he owed a great deal to one member of his mother ' s bunch\u2014oscar hammerstein ii . her bucks county neighbor provided the most important creative influence in stephen ' s career . in early adolescence , sondheim befriended oscar ' s son , jimmy , and began hanging around the hammerstein house . when the broadway pro learned that his young visitor wanted to write musicals , he offered avuncular encouragement and advice .\nelements of the show clung to the memories of everyone who worked on it . sondheim , then in the middle of intensive psychoanalysis , was coming to grips not only with his long - suppressed homosexuality but also with his hatred of emotional intimacy . tony walton , who designed the sets and costumes , recalled the composer singing the title number , the lament of a woman yearning to express her deepest emotions :\n, his broadway debut as a wordsmith ( bernstein wrote the music ) , sondheim displayed a gift for seizing an idea and giving it wings . take the number\ngee , officer krupke .\nbefore anyone had coined the term\npolitical correctness ,\nat a time when the idea of\nroot causes\nonly applied to diseased agriculture , a group of young malefactors mocked the juvenile courts that they blatantly abused :\nrecalled sondheim ,\nas quickly as my hand could cross the paper i wrote her a three -

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

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

' '\nso you have unexplained developments like a character entering sachin tendulkar ' s building and driving off with his ferrari in broad daylight ; the one - of - its - kind ferrari roaming the streets of mumbai without the media or police taking note . and you have a man , whose son has gone missing , talking to the media instead of trying to find him .\nsumming up , the music album of ferrari ki sawaari is indeed a joyous ride ( like a visit to the theme park ferrari world ! ) that provides music patrons with a such wide variety of songs that is indeed quite rare these days . pritam proves why he is the numero uno as he has composed music that is very much in keeping with the script of the movie , yet the commercial constraints have been taken care of . in fact throughout the album it is difficult to imagine that it is the same composer who gave us race , dhoom series or innumerable sufi chartbusters ( especially for emraan hashmi ) . just shows his versatility and range . in fact one can even mistake it for a shatanu moitra album , and for that vidhu needs to be commended as well . all the songs are good and our picks are ,\nand had an advertising - related assignment for which i had to get super cars like lamborghini , rolls - royce and ferrari for a client who made hubcaps for expensive cars . i managed to get all the cars for the shoot except a ferrari . a friend told me about a ferrari parked at pali hill . i went to see the car , and stood outside the building looking at the car because the security guard would not let me in . i remember the thought that came to me then : \u201cwhat if i steal this car for a day ? what will happen ? \u201d\nplot : in this heart - warming tale of unconditional love between father and son , the pursuit of an indian cricketing legend\u2019s ferrari makes a young boy\u2019s dreams of playing cricket at lords a reality .\nindeed , the most fun portions of the film are when these characters are onscreen . babbu didi entering the men ' s loo to seal a business proposition or the watchman describes ferrari ' s engine as\nsharman joshi bears the underdog mantle in this film that tries mixing cricket , ferrari and the middle class dream as a saleable combo . he plays rustom , head clerk at the rto office and a widower .\nthis ferrari ride leads through a chaotic world of street -

fledged screenplay .\nthe .\na little boy thinks of nothing but cricket . rusy , his father , thinks of nothing but his little boy . to fulfill his son ' s dream of playing at lord ' s cricket ground , the honest and upright rusy performs the first small act of dishonesty in his life . he borrows a gleaming red ferrari for one hour . the trouble is , he doesn ' t inform its legendary owner . a wild , breathless , bumpy ride begins . a ride that leads to a menagerie of amazing characters : a wedding planner who ' ll stop at nothing , a laurel -

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

of - age novel centr\ni couldn ' t finish this book . i checked it out because the novel had been hyped , and generally i like foodie stories , but the writing in this was too on - the - nose and i was groaning by page 5 . for example , in the beginning she writes about driving to new york to\nescape\nfrom her hometown and its\ntwin pillars of football and church .\nargh . i skimmed ahead and didn ' t see much to improve my opinion . maybe you will like it more .\na germ that could destroy life on earth is stolen from a biological warfare lab and the thief threatens to release it into the open , prompting a security officer to act .\nyoung henry goes to an all -

and then maybe you go and it turns out it really does taste like food that was made in a gas station , and not in an edgy way but in a gas station way ? this is like that with books . to be clear : that famous tapas restaurant really is amazing and you should stop hating on that famous chef . that other food really does taste like it ' s from a gas station ( a clean gas station , but a gas station nonetheless ) . this book is the gas station kind , not the famous tapas kind .\ni started this book without knowing exactly what i would find . some reviewers considered it their best book of the year , others found it just ho - hum , some hated it , and more than a few abandoned it after a few pages . i decided to jump in because i love reading about food and wine and behind the scenes action at restaurants . i figured i could dnf it if it proved no good . i was enthralled from the beginning . a 22 year old lands a job at a high priced union square restaurant in nyc . from a rube who\nwhen i do find my one of all , i ' ll dance my joy and sing my call ; my mountain and tree will see us roll to break these locks that chain my soul .\ni am your battles still to fight ; i ' ll be your roughest day and night ; i ' ll take from you your hardest sweat and pay you in words not sung nor said .\ndallas wants a date with a reluctant alli and makes it his mission to win her over . dallas asks alli out on a date by making a deal : red team wins , date and if purple team wins , no date . after alli finds out that dallas yelled at cam , alli scolds dallas for the yelling and calls him an arrogant bully , before calling off their earlier deal .\nthis site uses cookies . by using this site you are agreeing to our privacy and cookie policy .\nif my eyes tell you that you ' re this one , my lifetime long and hungry one , i ' ll kiss our key that brings you in and i ' ll forget your greatest sin .\nhenry goes to visit sheldon at the nursing home where he ' s dying , and sheldon tells him he has to fix things with keiko\u2014a dying wish that henry takes to heart . in the end , marty finds keiko through some serious sleuthing and buys his father a plane ticket to new york city to visit her . henry goes and shows up at keiko ' s apartment , where she lets him in so they can pick up their friendship where they left it off so many years ago .\nthis book just wasn ' t for me . stephanie danler shows promise as a writer ( this is her debut novel ) , but she ' s not a natural storyteller .\nsweetbitter\nhas zero plot , and the characters were as thin as paper . the protagonist , tess , lands a job in an upscale restaurant in new york city , and that ' s pretty much the whole plot .\nsweetbitter\nwas pretentious as hell . ugh . tess basically speaks in a bunch of random , confusing thoughts about herself , her job , and her bland co - workers . big whoop ! i didn '\nthe three - day weekend gross ( excluding previews ) of july 6 - 8 was \u00a36 . 2m\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 .\nthis is one of those\ni really wanted to like it\nbooks . the sentence - level writing is gorgeous , and the subject matter - - working in a high end nyc restaurant - - is ( for some of us ) nearly irresistible . and at first i liked sweetbitter very much . young girl moves to new york , gets an amazing job , is immersed in the life of the city . . . what ' s not to like ?

american actor cast as the lead in a romantic comedy , or an asian - american actor cast as the protagonist of a big - budget superhero film . these roles almost always go to white actors and actresses .\nso , to raise the \u00a350 , 000 necessary to pay for the crew , camera equipment and special effects for michael ' s resignation , cameron is selling\nunits\nin the film at \u00a31 a pop through website urltoken . there are no guarantees what investors will get back \u2013 cameron hopes the return could be as much as 500 % \u2013 but \u00a332 , 000 has been raised .\nthe film , called michael ' s resignation , is a psychological thriller \u2013 think trainspotting for bankers \u2013 inspired by the near - collapse of hbos last september . cameron , who runs tv production company devils lane , wrote the story in only three days , but the script has been written collaboratively online \u2013\ncrowdsourced\n\u2013 by more than 100 writers in britain , europe and the united states .\ni wanted to make films that were challenging and risqu\u00e9 , but the recession has made the industry frightened , celebrity - centric and unwelcoming to new ideas and new talent ,\nsays cameron , who has just stepped out of a\nhotseating\nsession for the film , held at the embassy nightclub in london ' s mayfair ( hotseating is where you put an actor into character , then quiz them as if they were that person ) .\nit is imperative that film and tv networks put more asian - american actors and actresses on screen , but merely increasing their quantity is not enough . asian - americans should be not be cast in distasteful caricatures of their ethnic identities . roles should instead showcase the full spectrum of diversity and complexity in asian - american populations . if the public does not see asians in mainstream roles that are not defined by cultural stereotypes , the stereotypes will go unchallenged .\nthe theme of the recession \u2013 and getting through it \u2013 is a strong theme in the film itself , in which a traumatised former soldier , who has begun a new life in the city as a bank clerk , is made redundant \u2026 and discovers his fiance is having an affair with his boss . determined to exact revenge , he suffers a nervous breakdown and films himself killing his co - workers , before being shot down by armed police officers in a final blaze of glory .\nthere are some allowances to be made here for the flawed perceptions of the era . it is not the making of a lady \u2019s fault that it is built on two very different books that are ostensibly about the same character . but it is the film\u2019s fault for not attempting to knit together these stories better\u2014and itv\u2019s fault in choosing to adapt the novels so faithfully . everything else aside , it\u2019s perplexing that any television producer would read these two novels and think , \u201cyes ! perfect for modern television ! \u201d\non one hand , itv\u2019s dedication its flawed source material is admirable\u2014no one watching the first 10 minutes of the film , which consist mostly of emily taking notes for a rich lady , would guess that the story would end with a trio of either magical or malaria - crazed interlopers trying to force her to abort her child . the making of a lady is based on the making of a marchioness and its sequel , the methods of lady walderhurst , both the works of frances hodgson burnett , celebrated author of a little princess and the secret garden .\ncameron says that because everyone involved in the film is entitled to a percentage of any profits , he has had very little need to pay cash upfront for anything .\nso far , only one or two people have raised the question of money ,\nhe says .\nyou don ' t need money to do great things \u2013 you need resources and great faith .\nthrough favours and goodwill , cameron and his team have managed to obtain locations for filming as well as sound , lighting and other equipment without having to pay a bean .\nto give credit where credit is due , the first half of the making of a lady actually shapes up to be a very nice , if subtle , film . lydia wilson as emily makes for a nuanced heroine , whose expressive eyes make up for the lack of intelligent lines she\u2019s given . and the production includes the requisite sweeping shots of the english countryside and fantastic costuming , which help to break up the sentimental monotony . emily and her husband learn to love each other ( and to have chaste victorian sex ) , and the house begins to feel a little more like a home .\ncameron isn ' t the only example of an enterprising mind who views the recession as a springboard , rather than an obstacle . when the company paul logan worked for , national screen services , shut up shop , he used his redundancy payment to buy the assets from his former employer and with a couple of old colleagues started logan ' s run , printing and distributing posters , publicity and point of sale merchandise in the uk to cinemas and film studios .\ni used half my redundancy package to strike a deal for two digital printers , an apple mac and some other office equipment ,\nhe recounts .\nthe film tells the story of emily fox - seton , a young , educated woman who has no money and few prospects . she\u2019s smart and kind , but that does not seem destined to take her out of her rented flat in london , where she is three weeks behind on rent . then a middle - aged marquis sweeps ( politely walks ) into her life and offers her a marriage of convenience\u2014he needs a wife to satisfy his family , and she needs security . the lady - making happens very quickly\u2014one day , emily is a mild - mannered personal assistant , and the next day , she is a member of the landed gentry .\njadoo is a surprisingly funny , feel good british asian comedy . endearing , mouth - watering and with a terrific reveal at the end . the story line is simple - two brothers with competing restaurants involved in a long running family feud over their mothers ' recipe book and the daughter who endeavours to bring them back together . jadoo is what independent film making is all about and does not take itself too seriously . a heartfelt story teaching us about the value of family as so often is shared through a meal . we get a unique glimpse into the largest indian community in the uk ( leicester ) . the south asian actors steal the show . a must see for all ages . a few genuinely funny scenes and countless on screen mouth -

for - tv adaptation is a bizarrely disjointed costume drama that starts out as a slow - burning love affair and ends up vilifying hindus as practitioners of black magic .\na mere 40 minutes later , an elderly indian woman in a sari attempts to abort emily\u2019s pregnancy with several glasses of cinnamon milk .\nbut the second half , which bubbles up out of nowhere , jerks the sweet love story towards gothic melodrama . the story is suddenly weighed down by what is intended to be creeping oriental horror : emily\u2019s husband is sent to india to put down an uprising , and while he\u2019s gone , his charismatic cousin osbourn ( james d\u2019arcy ) and osbourn\u2019s indian wife show up and try to wrest the estate from emily\u2019s hands .\nin and of itself , that\u2019s nothing new : bad guys will be bad guys . but the flavor of the suspense gradually takes on a quality that treats india and everything from it like a toxic infection . osbourn can\u2019t be trusted because he spent time in india , found an indian wife , and contacted malaria , which makes him suffer fits of insanity . and after emily gets pregnant , the osbourns turn their attention to aborting that pregnancy\u2014which feels like nothing less than a heavy - handed allegory for cultural purity .\nbut osbourn\u2019s wife isn\u2019t the only indian in the house . partway into her stay , she sends for her ayah , and a broader caricature of \u201cmagical exotic woman\u201d could not be possible . ameerah is a pastiche of \u201cwitch\u201d stereotypes\u2014elderly , dressed in exotic clothes , muttering in strange languages , and endowed with arcane knowledge . as osbourn frightens away servants with his fits of madness , ameerah gradually takes over the house\u2014serving indian food at supper , providing emily tonics for her pregnancy that make her more and more ill , and spying on lady walderhurst whenever convenient . it culminates in the pillow - suffocating moment , which is all the more hilarious because surely a strong english young woman could knock over an old lady , even while pregnant ? but the melodramatic terror of the other here is too strong for logic to penetrate .\nif it were current , the making of a lady would fall into that a / f range that ryan murphy\u2019s american horror story is always flirting with : the archetypes in use are powerful , but the thematic outcome is rarely better than muddled . but the making of a lady is an artifact of the ( very flawed ) past . it\u2019s intriguing to see england\u2019s colonial power addressed in one of these costume dramas , but at the same time , there is no effort spared to make it clear that the true malady here is the toxicity of the foreign\u2014whether that\u2019s with the ayah\u2019s brooding stares , osbourn\u2019s illness , or lord walderhurst\u2019s absence .\nwritten by : kate brooke , frances hodgson burnett debuts : sunday at 10 p . m . eastern on pbs format : made -

- an ever - loving man who doesn ' t suspect his wife of anything , even though she orders her admirer around .\nchandrachud singh as the admirer ( somu ) is wasted in a role which could have been played by any average actor . all he has to do is being ordered around by mahima - - as if he has nothing better to do - - apart from reciting poems and giving hints to mahima about his love for her . he fancies himself to be a casanova whom the girls drool over , and sports long kurtas and shawls .\nmahima choudhary , as the hip and hyper woman is alright . she looks nice , but speaks with an accent which becomes pronounced when she has to scream out her dialogues . though most of the time she does that in the film , and cries a lot too , she is still bearable .\najay devgan seriously needs a change of image once again . his role of the sacrificial and harried hero is getting stereotyped . there is nothing new to say about him in this film . if anything , he looks quite lost .\nthe less said about the child the better . jha has tried to make her cute by giving her dialogues , which an adult would otherwise say , and then he has made her act in a theatrical manner . but she ends up irritating you with her constant demands and her brattish behaviour in the film .\nthe only person who gives her role a semblance of sanity is kajol . she is expressive and despite a film , which won\u00edt do much for her , gives it her best shot .\nin fact the only scenes from the film which stand out are the ones that have kajol in them . she lends substance to her character and balances her role of the ' other woman ' quite well .\nis good . there are about five or six songs , of which three are certainly going to do well .\nit ' s true that a commercial film doesn ' t make sense most of the times . but considering this is a prakash jha film , one hoped it would make sense . but then , we suppose , good directors also have to cater to commercial demands .\nthroughout the film , one gets the feeling that jha\u00eds heart wasn\u00edt in this film . it could have been a good film , if it had been treated properly . but all we can say is that it remains a disappointment .\nanand kishore ( ajay devgan ) , his wife , kavita ( mahima chaudhary ) , and only child , a daughter , neha ( akshita garud ) , live a happy and serene life in delhi , india . their lives are turned upside down when kavita finds out that neha is being stalked by a woman named nandita rai ( kajol ) . when she confronts nandita , she is told that nandita is the biological mother of neha .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nanand kishore ( ajay devgan ) is a rich architect who lives with his wife kavita ( mahima ) . they have an adopted daughter neha ( akshita garud ) . they live happily until one fine day a lady by the name of nandita rai ( kajol ) comes into their lives . nandita happens to be the real mother of neha . but the real twist comes when it is known that anand is actually the father of neha and she is the result of an intimate relationship that anand shared with nandita one night . there is tension in the family and kavita decides to walk out of the relationship . kavita is supported by her friend som dutt ( chandrachud singh ) who also has a soft corner for kavita . will the broken family come together or will anand stay with nandita forms the remaining part of the movie .\ncopyright 2010 -

whatever you will ask them they will act like you said or did something bad to them . they are very very strict with the wifi passwords . and btw wifi it ' s very very bad . . . for sure they need better one . breakfast team is amazing , especially waitress samija ( if i am not making mistake ) breakfast buffet is very good , but not really satisfied with the food in the restaurant , but drinks was good ( it ' s takes too long to prepare them ) last night of our staying we was surprised when they send us champagne to apologize for few problems that we had . that was nice from their side . not 5 * for sure , they need to improve their team , everything expect that was good .\ni loved this dark comedy . it ' s full of very bad stuff , but it ' s all so horribly funny at the same time . plus , the cast is great . if you have a sick sense of humour , see this movie .\nlate twenties , a chef in a very upscale , very busy kitchen . his name ,\nmoore ,\nis embroidered on his white chef ' s jacket . food orders fly all around as moore works with a mesmerizing focus , a poetic sense of purpose , fifteen things going on at once ; he chops , sautes , braises , etc . . . , in a perfect mute silence .\nwe ' re told by senior leadership that what we ' re doing is both the morally and economically correct thing to do , but without evidence this is just veiled left ideology ,\nhe wrote before piling into all the bad things those\non the left\ndo .\ndelving into the world of young adult writing is not for the faint -

up\nwriters and it ' s great to see her also succeeding at that ya market as well . anything that susan writes is well worth your time reading !\ni say to myself , look at the map . look what ' s all around you . people who wish bad bad things for you and your people . for thousands of years the jews are fighting everybody . it used to be they ' d throw rocks , then the iron revolution and they would attack with spears . then the gunpowder revolution . now they ' re shooting fire power back and forth , all day bullets flying , babies getting shot .\nwhat an unbelievably beautiful hotel . rooms were very comfortable and spacious , food was absolutely fantastic and the setting is well , paradise . a few very minor improvements to be made to a relatively new hotel but all in all it was an overall spectacular few days and i will be back !\nat least nora got her shit together halfway through . although , again , the self - loathing and the guilt was too heavy for me . i do understand why because of all the horrible things she went through . but i have to admit , at the very beginning , i failed to understand the logic behind her actions and decisions . she doesn ' t know who she is anymore , so she decided to become a\nbad girl .\nhuh ?\nfinally nora finds all the things she ' s desperately been craving and faces her fears and demons of her past and tells off that biach of a mother .\nsuspense , mystery , murder and a little romance . this book was very well written and a page turner . quick read . 4 . 5 stars .\ni just felt that there were so many things that took too long to be resolved and when they did get resolved , it felt rushed . case in point ,\nthat ' s what nora struggles with everyday . doing things to please her superrr biach of her mother , nora does everything that isn ' t the real her .\ni stayed at this hotel as the event i attended was hosted by the same facility . the organisation was spotless and the room i was given was a very comfortable executive suite overlooking the quieter side of the hotel . all in all , it was a very good experience and i happily recommend it to other travellers .\nyou guessed it - this is another book i picked up when i was in need of a pretty little liars fix ! i keep finding myself drawn to ya high school murder mysteries to cleanse my palate in between contemporary ya and fantasy reading sprees , and this did the trick . very bad things is the story of katie , a scholarship student at a prestigious boarding school who becomes embroiled in a deadly scandal . katie\u2019s boyfriend is photographed supposedly cheating on her with a girl who later winds up dead , tho\ni had no idea this story took place in dallas - - my hometown ! so it was fun to read about some of the places and things i was familiar with .\ni loved writing this book so much ! it was hard work but i ' m so happy with how the story turned out . the characters surprised me at every turn ( i know that sounds weird to say , but it ' s true ) . and every time i read it now , even though i know what happens , i feel my heart start to pound faster and i ' m on the edge of my seat . i hope everyone who reads very bad things feels the same way . enjoy !\nthat changes a little once the covenant ship gets to this mysterious planet . the film opens up with a little more action , unsettling imagery , and it feels like things may be about to take a turn for the better . unfortunately , that\u2019s not the case . with one or two small exceptions , the characters don\u2019t change very drastically when faced with these obstacles , the tone stays very even , and there are almost no scares to be had . there\u2019s plenty of gore , yes , but nothing that scary .\nthough his demeanour was very protective , he was unreasonably jealous , hot headed and not afraid to rub his relationship with his fuck - buddy in nora ' s face .\nnora blakely was everything i avoided when it came to girls . her kind expected love and commitments , two things i ' d run away from a long time ago .\nfive + + + + + + + + + fantastic fucking stars ! ! ! let me start this one by saying i have a huge girl crush on the main character , nora ! i loved her so much ! what a beautiful , intelligent young woman that my heart broke for because underneath it all she was hurting and just wanted to be loved . might i also mention she is rich too , but money can ' t buy happiness and that cannot be more true when you read a book like very bad things .\nvery bad things is a crazy movie . i thought it was going to be a little like the movie hangover , but i was really wrong . this film is a twisted in a good way . it goes to places i didn ' t see the movie going . there is chaos throughout . it ' s not a film meant to be taken seriously . it gross , funny , and disturbing . i enjoyed it . the cast was good and the ending was pretty funny . i ' m not sure if i would see again though .\nit took me a while to feel engaged with very bad things , but once i did , i couldn ' t read this book fast enough . this is a short book in both pages and content , and the plot goes lightning fast , which makes for a compelling read . the story is engaging and entertaining , but the thrills end early on in the story because the plot and the characters offhandedly give away the entire mystery and all the plot twists and that , in turn , inadvertently kind of ruined the climax and the big surprise . the suc\nvery bad things is essentially the phantom of the opera set in a modern - day high school , with the gross - out factor raised by degrees . besides the glaring characterization issues and plot holes - - spoilers : ex . 1 . for two weeks , this little campus is crawling with police and k9 units , and peter , he of the distinct , overpowering smell of dank earth and mustiness , he of the midnight forays into the land of the living , is never discovered ? ex . 2 . peter is badly enough burned that he cannot leave finger\nfor fans of pretty little liars and gretchen mcneil ' s ten , this ya thriller will thrill , delight , and leave you wanting more . what i loved the most about this novel was the twisted web of lies and secrets that were the root of all problems - - that intricately bound web was fun to dissect and figure out . as i read , i sat there trying to figure out which narrator i could trust , which narrator was unreliable , and who was lying about what . i loved the multiple povs in very bad things . it gave the novel\nhi fisher . boyd dims the lights , cranks up the music as the guys stumble for position on and around the couch . tina starts to move , very sexy . michael tokes a joint .\nfive + + + + + + + + + fantastic fucking stars ! ! ! let me start this one by saying i have a huge girl crush on the main character , nora ! i loved her so much ! what a beautiful , intelligent young woman that my heart broke for because underneath it all she was hurting and just wanted to be loved . might i also mention she is rich too , but money can ' t buy happiness and that cannot be more true when you read a book like very bad things . happiness . i believed few people ever achieved it . nora is in her last year of\nabsolutely predictable and not really surprising but it was not really that bad . easy read . i just wish there were few more chapters at the end when it finally became more interesting than the rest of the book .\na group of friends head to las vegas for a bachelor party . . only things go wrong and a woman is killed . soon , the bodies are piling up and the friends find themselves turning against one another as the coverup builds .\nmommy just needs a little time out . everything ' s gonna be okay . okay ?

)\nas indicated by the film\u2019s japanese title , their holiday is typically brief . even so , much transpires in the course of their four - day break , which is marked with the daily 5 p . m . blaring of the folk song \u201caka tombo\u201d ( \u201cred dragonfly\u201d ) from a loudspeaker . but as the film\u2019s romantic roundelay unfolded , accompanied by comic bits and catchy old - time jazz , i began to think \u201cchigasaki story\u201d was channeling not only rohmer , but also woody allen in his lighter moods .\nthe film was directed by takuya misawa , who is a rookie film director that hopes to spread the words about chigasaki city in which he chose chigasakikan as his filming location . his love for the city is apparent throughout his work .\nchigasaki is one of honolulu\u2019s sister cities , where its stunning nature , hula and surf culture have a lot in common with honolulu . we would like to foster our friendship with honolulu , and engage in cultural exchange for future generations .\n\u201cchigasaki story\u201d also benefits greatly from its excellent cast , beginning with sugino , who wonderfully conveys how maki\u2019s initially stiff , uptight - seeming demeanor masks a deep passion and yearning awakened by an unexpected visitor from her past . koshino , as maki\u2019s coworker karin , also impresses as the sassy , flirtatious counterpart \u2013 and often antagonist \u2013 to maki . nakazaki and fukushima also beautifully play their quiet and shy characters , whose fraught yet largely unspoken relationship is but one of the wonderfully rendered narrative strands of this lovely film .\na japanese seaside resort at the end of august . a class of archaeology students lands in a youth hostel . the tall and shy tomoharu , a devoted seasonal worker , is put in charge of taking care of the group and guiding them to the local sites . if his classmate , the sweet ayako , has fallen for him and his diligent heart , his own heart seems to favour karin , a trendy and brazen woman who has come to the hostel with her colleague , the elegant maki , to celebrate a bachelorette party . filmed in the house where yasujiro ozu wrote tokyo story and late spring , chigasaki story weaves a delicate and colourful narrative filled with love games , the complex combinations of which allow the characters to be progressively revealed to themselves and to each other . ( mathieu macheret )\ndirector misawa , who also penned the excellent screenplay that subtly maps out the intricate web of relations between the characters , and which beautifully conveys the lives they lead beyond the span of the brief time period the film covers , has created far more than a slavish homage to ozu . \u201cchigasaki story\u201d possesses unique charms all its own , taking full advantage of the visual beauty of its resort setting \u2013 kudos to the evocative work by cinematographer shogo ueno \u2013 that forms a vibrant backdrop to the compelling comedy and drama on display .\nthat it does , though in contrast to the many local movies that regard women as passive objects of male desire , the sexual initiative in \u201cchigasaki story\u201d belongs almost solely to its female principals . and though its romantic conflicts initially unfold through significant glances and silent gestures , when emotions erupt , it\u2019s always a woman doing the dishing out . this , i think , is less a feminist statement than the simple truth of how the sexual game is often played here , especially when the quarry is a shy , inexperienced boy or a guy seemingly oblivious to everything but work .\nthe mayor hattori took a picture with the city\u2019s mascot called \u201ceboshimaro\u201d . the hat of the mascot representing the chinaman\u2019s hat in hawaii . also , there is a rock that is similar to the chinaman\u2019s hat called \u201ceboshi - iwa\u201d in chigasaki city which is another interesting coincidence .\nthe closest station to mokichi foods garden is jr chigasaki that is located on the tokaido line and also the sagami line , though that is a local country line through the countryside with one or two trains an hour . it\u2019s about a ten minute walk from the north exit .\nworkmates karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( kiki sugino ) have come to the beach resort of chigasaki , kanagawa prefecture , to attend the wedding party of risa ( natsuko hori ) , a former colleague who is now helping run her family\u2019s 115 - year - old inn .\ntomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) works at a traditional japanese inn ( chigasaki ) . he works with karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( kiki sugino ) . risa ( natsuko hori ) , the daughter of the inn ' s owner , is set to have a wedding in 3 days .\nset in the 115 - year - old chigasaki inn near shonan beach \u2014 the actual retreat where ozu wrote some of his greatest works , including \u201clate spring\u201d ( 1949 ) , \u201cearly summer\u201d ( 1951 ) and the masterpiece \u201ctokyo story\u201d ( 1953 ) \u2014 the story begins with the innkeeper , risa ( natsuko hori ) , who is hosting a group of archaeology students led by prof . kondo ( satoshi nikaido ) , and awaiting the arrival of her former airline colleagues karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( a deliciously unpleasant sugino ) . they\u2019re coming to attend risa\u2019s wedding party , which is being held several weeks after the actual ceremony in hawaii ( another ozu touch : an offscreen wedding ) . risa\u2019s staff includes the shy student tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , who immediately attracts the attentions of the flirty , long - legged karin . tomoharu is also the object of fellow student ayako\u2019s ( juri fukushima ) secret affections , and he ping - pongs between the two women without noticing their increasing jealousy .\nthe next day , maki finally released her anger on karin , because of her continuous selfishness . however , running in to kondo ( satoshi nikaido ) , the professor leading the seminar lodging trip to chigasaki kan , blew off the irritation instantly . kondo was the teacher who maki liked during her school days .\nthis power of the past emerges as a major theme of \u201cchigasaki story . \u201d past events that have occurred offscreen very much inform the action that unfolds within the film\u2019s three - day time span , bracketed by the wedding of risa ( natsuko hori ) \u2013 the chigasaki inn owner\u2019s daughter \u2013 and the wedding party that awaits the arrival of risa\u2019s newlywed husband\u2019s return from hawaii , where the wedding took place . the past also figures prominently in the profession of archaeology , the practice of which we witness during the film . the other guests at the inn include a group of archaeology students on a field trip to chigasaki , where they are on an expedition to gather shards of earthenware , which they will attempt to mend together to reconstruct the pottery which constituted their original forms . three of the film\u2019s major characters are connected to archaeology : tomoharu , who is part of the archaeology class in addition to his duties as inn caretaker , as well as his classmate ayako ( juri fukushima ) , who silently admires him but can\u2019t quite bring herself to be fully open about her feelings for him . maki also studied archaeology in college , a fact that will figure in a major plot strand that emerges later in the film , during which she will attempt to reconstruct her past emotionally , just as the archaeology students try to reconstruct the physical objects that they\u2019ve excavated .\ntraditionally , the sister cities of honolulu were been selected upon historical ties to hawaii . despite of it , chigasaki city was chosen because it shares mutual cultural values , which we hope for the audience to see on the screen . the present mayor of honolulu also agreed and said that the shared cultures and values are the reason behind the signed agreement .\nseeing\ntoy story ,\ni felt some of the same exhilaration i felt during\nwho framed roger rabbit .\nboth movies take apart the universe of cinematic visuals , and put it back together again , allowing us to see in a new way .\ntoy story\nis not as inventive in its plotting or as clever in its wit as\nrabbit\nor such disney animated films as\nbeauty and the beast\n; it ' s pretty much a buddy movie transplanted to new terrain . its best pleasures are for the eyes . but what pleasures they are ! watching the film , i felt i was in at the dawn of a new era of movie animation , which draws on the best of cartoons and reality , creating a world somewhere in between , where space not only bends but snaps , crackles and pops .\nmokichi foods garden ( not to be confused with mokichi trattoria in kagawa , or mokichi craft beer in fujisawa - though if you did it wouldn\u2019t be the end of the world ) can be found in chigasaki , kanagawa - just one stop on the train if you\u2019re me , or 30 minutes from yokohama on the tokaido line if you\u2019re not me ( and most of you aren\u2019t ) .\nthe film\u2019s considerable debt to ozu in both its cinematic style and setting is made explicit in an early scene in which tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , a caretaker at an inn in the seaside town of chigasaki , where the film takes place , tells two of the inn\u2019s guests \u2013 co - workers maki ( kiki sugino ) and karin ( ena koshino ) \u2013 about the history of the inn . tomoharu tells them that they are staying in the same room where ozu wrote some of his classic films such as \u201ctokyo story\u201d ( which this film directly evokes with its english title ) . in fact , there are still marks on the ceiling left by the oil burner ozu used in the room . this detail symbolizes the fact that this inn and its surroundings exist in an environment where the past is very much tied to , and exerts great influence on , the present .\nmankai company haven ' t been paying the money they owe to the yakuza ( criminal organization - similar to a mafia ) which have payed for them when they didn ' t get any income . due to the company not being able to pay off the yakuza , they are being threaten to bulldoze the whole building . izumi tachibana the heroine of the whole story was received a letter and thought it had something to do with her father . she makes her way to the theater to help it out hoping to receive answers when becoming it ' s director .\nmisawa takuya is a young filmmaker ( 1987 ) who hasn\u2019t even yet graduated from the japan institute of the moving image , but his film breathes nostalgia for the history of cinema . in chigasaki story , so much colour has been bled from the image that the film could be remembered as black - and - white , even though it wasn\u2019t shot in black - and - white . the film has an extremely light touch and doesn\u2019t stick to a single predominant narrative line . during a weekend , students and lecturers come together for a wedding . this takes place in chigasakikan hotel , where the film master ozu yasujiro retired to write his screenplays . it\u2019s not that the director simply follows on from ozu ; he also seems to have taken a good look at playful french classics . repressed and occasionally open irritations and infatuations , old and new , flare up between the various characters in the hotel . kiki sugino , who was in the tiger awards jury at the festival last year , produced the film and plays a minor role as a teacher .\ntoy story\ncreates a universe out of a couple of kid ' s bedrooms , a gas station , and a stretch of suburban highway . its heroes are toys , which come to life when nobody is watching . its conflict is between an old - fashioned cowboy who has always been a little boy ' s favorite toy , and the new space ranger who may replace him . the villain is the mean kid next door who takes toys apart and puts them back together again in macabre combinations . and the result is a visionary roller - coaster ride of a movie .\nforma directed by the kumamoto born ayumi sakamoto , forma took 6 years to complete . screened at the national museum of singapore , the film tells the story of ayako who coincidentally bumps into her former classmate yukari and offers her a job . accepting ayako\u2019s offer , yukari finds herself reporting to her former classmate who soon makes her life utterly miserable . the film\u2019s skilfully constructed plotline is expertly weaved through the characters and their dialogue . packed with tension , ayumi sakamoto rewards the audience with an unforgettable movie and keeps us hanging on with her plot and unexpected surprise in the middle of the film .\nmokichi foods garden is a great , noisy , family - friendly ( and smoke - free ) place to go and have a load of lovely shonan beer and pizzas . it\u2019s not for the softly - spoken or people who want to be able to hear the yeast farting in the back room , but it is a fun dining and boozing experience in a unique building that is a curious mix of old showa style and postmodern hipstery portland aesthetic ( but without the irony or pretension ) . this place is a definite recommendation from beertengoku , and can be formed up voltron - style with gold\u2019n bub and beer cafe hopman for a chigasaki beer crawl .\nafter an audience member praised him for the film\u2019s dialogue , misawa admitted that he\u2019s always eavesdropping on conversations in family restaurants , since they\u2019re a good source of chit - chat , and he paid tribute to the improvisatory skills of his actors , hinting that several of the scenes were heavily ad libbed . as for the catchy score , he explained : \u201cthe music came about during post - production . i did try matching the visuals with classical music , but i ultimately chose to use jazz , which woody allen does . he uses ragtime , which arrived early in jazz history . it came on the scene around the time that the chigasaki inn started business , and i thought that was relevant , as well . \u201d\nyes , this almost turned into another joe gets lost story . almost , but not quite . why does this massive building have such poor access ? i\u2019ll tell you . mokichi foods garden is located in a former barley mill , which started operation before the second world war . as most buildings in japan either aren\u2019t built to last , or end up getting destroyed by natural disaster or the war , there are very few buildings standing that are more than fifty or sixty years old in this area . most of the area around the restaurant building has been alternatively concreted , car parked or apartmented . as a result , what once was probably a direct road from station to mill has been jigsawed into a jumble of backroads and houses . i also think the barley mill might be the oldest building in the area ( mokichi trattoria is similarly located in a 450 - year old former residence - i love that kumazawa brewing has an aesthetic that they\u2019re adhering to ) .\nrisa ( natsuko hori ) has taken up temporary residence in the casual inn in order to prep for her wedding celebration ( the groom is en route ) . her work pals karin ( ena koshino ) and maki ( kiki sugino ) arrive in short order , the two complete opposites ( karin is ditzy and sexy , while maki is tightly wound ) . also at the hotel are a group of students on a research trip , and hapless , nerdy worker tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , whose head is set spinning by the attentions of the various ladies .\nof course , relationships quickly crack under the tension of being under one roof , with the trio of friends competing for various attentions and becoming annoyed with one another , and tomoharu torn between an admiring student and the flirtations of karin . to add to the complications , the teacher leading the research trip has a history with maki , and possibly something going on with the newlywed .\nunfortunately , due to the tone and performance style , and because most of the characters aren\u2019t very likable , there\u2019s no investment in any one journey , and therefore the film falls flat . perhaps it\u2019s lost in translation , but the jokes miss too , and it never executes the quirky rom - com vibe it goes for . though it ends up sweet , the lead up is sour .\nsign up : stay on top of the latest breaking film and tv news ! sign up for our email newsletters here .\neric kohn and anne thompson discuss their favorite films of the year so far . they also debate several new releases and share some streaming recommendations .\nin an episode dedicated to the show within the show , \u201cglow\u201d illustrates its grand capacity for storytelling , and the very good tv podcast breaks down how .\nrules weren\u2019t meant to be broken when it comes to tv episode lengths , but these 10 examples \u2014 introduced on the very good tv podcast \u2014 are clear exceptions .\nafter studying under cinematographer ed lachman , shevaun mizrahi forged her own unique filmmaking path with its own set of rules .\nlane and schoenbrun discuss how her interest in morgellons disease patients ( \u201cthe pain of others\u201d ) and his exploration of the slenderman myth ( \u201ca self -

style vacations bestowed on fukada\u2019s japanese protagonists .\nsoon after she arrives , the free - spirited karin casually sets out to seduce tomoharu ( haya nakazaki ) , a college boy working at the inn . the older , more conservative maki sternly disapproves of this flirting , and flies into a rage when karin impulsively goes for a walk with an unwitting tomoharu instead of meeting for a planned visit to a local aquarium . but after maki runs into her former archaeology teacher ( satoshi nikaido ) , she signals an interest in this ruggedly handsome guy that goes beyond reliving her now distant college days .\nanother complication arrives in the form of ayako ( juri fukushima ) , a sweet - tempered student who has a crush on classmate tomoharu and is quietly upset by karin\u2019s transparent ( at least to her eyes ) designs .\nthen there is kota ( shuntaro yanagi ) , risa\u2019s gangly surfer brother , who can look beyond social niceties to inner realities , and risa herself , who seems happy as a new wife and innkeeper but shows signs of envying karin and maki\u2019s freedom . and her foreign husband is nowhere in sight . as the old johnny mercer song says , something\u2019s gotta give .\nproactive does not always mean attractive in the film\u2019s beachside bubble : voices are loudly raised and feelings brutally hurt . for all its ozu associations , the film has melodramatic moments that ozu himself would have scripted out .\nthe moral : if a working woman here wants to spend her 30s with something other than her inbox , she had better take the lead \u2014 even if she can only take four days off .\njohn williams presents a made -

waldau\u2019s jaime lannister and jerome flynn\u2019s bronn , the experience was utterly horrifying .\nshakman says the team works well . some pick up the slack when others are heavily occupied with other career projects . says shakman ,\nfor each show , we usually depend on the talents of one or two of us who oversee the production , more or less turning over their life for the period . then they might take the next play off , but everyone is always willing to help paint sets and do things like that .\nit\u2019s not uncommon for actors to want to stretch their creative muscles and be taken more seriously on the business side of things as their careers grow to new heights . many actors , from those who started in the business as children , including fred savage , jason bateman and matt shakman , to the likes of zach braff and tony goldwyn , took the initiative to establish themselves as directors in order to increase their chances at career longevity . this television season , jesse williams , alex o\u2019loughlin , justin baldoni , jussie smollett and ben feldman are among the actors that took advantage of the\nthe directors guild of america awards has announced the nominees for outstanding achievements in television in 2017 , and unsurprisingly game of thrones rules the roost . the hbo series nabbed three of the five spots available for dramatic series , with stranger things \u2019 the duffer brothers and the handmaid\u2019s tale\u2019s reed morano scoring the other two slots . the game of thrones episodes singled out were the \u201cloot train battle\u201d episode \u201cthe spoils of war\u201d , directed by matt shakman , the \u201c jon snow and his pals go on a suicide mission\u201d episode \u201cbeyond the wall\u201d , directed by alan taylor , and the finale \u201c\u2026\ni was speaking in general , not for shakman specifically . i don\u2019t know if it was the first or the second thread about the directors when i basically stopped following wotw for months because i was so disappointed by this negative attitude .\nif the writers intend sansa to be jealous , then the writers should write it in the script . that\u2019s what they do . and then shakman would have known that sansa\u2019s reaction was one of jealousy and not merely surprise at the transformation .\nbut the triumph of shakman\u2019s direction in \u201cthe spoils of war\u201d extends beyond the climactic moment . his choices were uniformly strong throughout the entire episode . even a shot - reverse - shot conversation between littlefinger and bran was heightened by shakman\u2019s escalating close - ups , each cut making the tension tighter . when bran uttered one of littlefinger\u2019s most famous lines , \u201cchaos is a ladder , \u201d shakman pulled a jonathan demme by cutting into a tight close - up of each character staring directly at the camera . it\u2019s a simple but startling choice , one that rattles the viewer as much as it does littlefinger , who must surely be worried that whatever bran can dig up as the three eyed raven could ruin his mission for power .\nshakman founded los angeles\u2019 black dahlia theatre and served as its artistic director from its inception in 2001 . it was named one of \u201ca dozen young american companies you need to know\u201d by american theatre magazine and \u201cbest small theatre\u201d by los angeles magazine .\nshakman also referenced the epic dystopian science fiction film children of men , concluding that he \u201clooked at a lot of different references\u201d to find inspiration . check out the full interview here ; it\u2019s a fascinating look behind the scenes of hbo\u2019s biggest show .\ni referred to matt shakman above via his 44 episodes of it\u2019s always sunny , which are his most prominent credit . but i left out that he\u2019s directed episodes of everything from fargo to mad men to you\u2019re the worst to the good wife , and his episodes have often added a necessary cinematic flair to even the scuzzy interiors of sunny . he\u2019s one of those tv directors who\u2019s been around for ages ( since 2002 ) , but mostly working out of the limelight , bouncing between comedy and drama . ( also , he starred as \u201cthe son\u201d in the late \u201980s family sitcom just the ten of us , which i just learned . )\nmatt shakman is set to direct tristar ' s live action / hybrid adaptation of the norton juster classic children\u2019s book the phantom tollbooth , the hollywood reporter has confirmed . phil johnston wrote the latest draft of the script , originally by michael vukadinovich . donald de line and ed mcdonnell are producing , with tristar head hannah minghella and nicole brown overseeing . first published in 1961 with illustrations by jules pfeiffer , the phantom tollbooth centers on milo , an apathetic child who is bored by everything . when a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room , he drives through it and discovers the magical lands beyond \u2014 which is full of intriguing places . . .\naccording to a release , that means helping\nstage new work and revivals of classic plays with a focus on exceptional storytelling and audience experience .\nshakman will join the geffen on sept . 20 to begin work on the 2018 / 2019 season .\nsince 2002 , shakman has mostly been directing for television . among his credits include mad men , six feet under , new girl , brothers & sisters , house m . d . and it ' s always sunny in philadelphia ( also producer ) .\nlike an army of hapless humans facing down a fire - breathing dragon , the rest of tv was no match for game of thrones in this year\u2019s directors guild nominations . the hit hbo fantasy scorched the competition when the 2017 dga award nominations were announced on wednesday , landing three of the possible five nominations in the drama - series category . jeremy podeswa ( \u201cthe dragon and the wolf\u201d ) , matt shakman ( \u201cthe spoils of war\u201d ) and alan taylor ( \u201cbeyond the wall\u201d ) scored nods for their episodes \u2014 meaning that nearly half of season 7\u2019s seven installments were honored by the dga . rounding out the dga drama nominees were the duffer brothers ,\nbut direct it he did , and it\u2019s been a huge success . shakman spoke to inverse about how the battle at the end of the episode \u2014 daenerys\u2019 attack on the lannister supply train \u2014 was different than other times we\u2019d seen the dragons in action .\n\u201cafter a comprehensive nationwide search , matt clearly emerged as our first choice , \u201d board co - chairs co - chairs martha henderson and pamela robinson said in a statement . \u201chis unique artistic vision , coupled with his directorial and entertainment business experience , makes him an outstanding cultural fit for our theater . he and gil cates jr . make an incredibly powerful team to lead the geffen into the future . \u201d\nfinally , let\u2019s talk about that cliffhanger . obviously , shakman didn\u2019t reveal whether jaime will survive his dip in the lake , but he did say that the episode ended as writings david benioff and dan weiss envisioned , and revealed tidbits about how they filmed it :\nmatt shakman : when the guys wrote it , they were influenced by true detective . there was a one - shot in that , which i think influenced them to include a large part of \u201ccharlie work\u201d as a one - shot . \u2026 so rob called me up when i was working on fargo and said , \u201chey , we\u2019re doing this episode , and it\u2019s all going to be in one shot . so get ready . \u201d i was excited . \u2026 since then , and since the score was created , which has this sort of jazz sound , birdman came out . so it has this sort of strange , unintentional birdman homage to it even more than true detective .\n\u201ci don\u2019t think there is any point in leading with a big concept , \u201d\u009d says shakman . \u201c\u02dci\u2019m not interested in making people aware of my direction . if it moves them and they understand it and it resonates with them , then my work is accomplished . \u201d\u009d\non monday , mr . shakman , who also oversaw next week\u2019s episode , discussed the meaning of sunday\u2019s sword fight , the movies that inspired the closing battle sequence , and the challenges of directing a character who isn\u2019t there . following are edited excerpts from the interview .\ndescribing the leading character , shakman explains , \u201call she wants is a job . she has hit bottom economically . it\u2019s about a world that is offering her nothing . she goes about trying to provide for herself and her child in the simplest , most direct way possible . \u201d\u009d\nby juxtaposing the high - flying spectacle of drogon burning the lannister army alive with the gruesome reality of actually being on the receiving end , shakman toyed with the audience\u2019s allegiances to daenerys and jaime lannister and crafted a battle sequence of unrelenting suspense . daenerys was equal parts hero and villain , and drogon was equal parts savior and destroyer . as \u201cthrones\u201d gets closer to its end game , the more we\u2019re going to be seeing characters we know and love in direct conflict . we can only hope these encounters are as well staged as what shakman achieved here .\nabout an hour before his noon rehearsal , a bearded and smiling shakman \u2014 donned in jeans , black kicks , a black t - shirt , checkered shirt and black jacket \u2014 looks younger than his 36 years as he stands in the geffen , just outside the gil cates theater .\nthe smartest decision shakman made in crafting this battle was in making sure the aesthetics of the scene changed depending on which side you were experiencing the events through . the shots of daenerys atop drogon were some of the most grandiose and epic the series has ever done . a wide shot of the dragon flying across the frame from left to right and laying waste to the army below him was a particular jaw dropper . in these moments , daenerys was glorified as the franchise\u2019s most badass hero . but that\u2019s not how shakman viewed her while directing from the lannister perspective .\noutside of the films shakman and mclachlan cited specifically , the influences of movies like 300 , troy , the hobbit films , the lord of the rings : return of the king , the revenant , and gladiator can clearly be seen throughout , the nerdwriter noted in a video breakdown .\nhmm , the only negative comment on shakman i could find was hot pink lipstick saying that his name sounded like a frat boy\u2019s name , which is not at all a criticism of his actual directorial abilities . most of the complaints were mylod , although some loved him , too .\nshakman founded los angeles ' black dahlia theatre and served as its artistic director from its inception in 2001 . under his leadership , the theater was named one of\na dozen young american companies you need to know\nby american theatre magazine and\nbest small theatre\nby los angeles magazine . productions such as hey , morgan , theatre district , nocturne and orson ' s shadow garnered numerous los angeles drama critics circle and la stage alliance nominations and awards . in 2011 , the los angeles drama critics circle awarded shakman the milton katselas award for career achievement in direction .\n\u201cin charting that simple story , lindsay - abaire showed us south boston and other suburban boston communities and used it as a way to talk about our nation as a whole , \u201d\u009d surmises shakman . \u201che also tells a human story about what we\u2019re forced to do to make ends meet . \u201d\u009d\nhe wasn\u2019t , and mr . shakman , who has also directed episodes of \u201c mad men , \u201d \u201c the good wife \u201d and \u201c fargo , \u201d among many others , eventually found himself in c\u00e1ceres , spain , surrounded by hundreds of extras , stuntmen , horses and plenty of fire .\nshakman has staged several shows at the geffen , including the west coast premiere of david lindsay - abaire\u2019s good people , in 2012 , and the world premiere of jeffrey hatcher\u2019s adaptation of frederick knott\u2019s wait until dark in 2013 . most recently , he directed the geffen\u2019s production of joshua harmon\u2019s bad jews .\nas for shakman himself , he says that he wanted \u201cto tell the story of what it would be like to be on the ground in the middle of a dragon attack , to see what it\u2019s like ; to be in a napalm attack , to see the birth of a new weapon . \u201d\nshakman is perhaps most widely known for his television and film directing credits , having helmed two episodes of the current seventh season of game of thrones (\nthe spoils of war\nand\neastwatch\n) as well as being a director and producer of it ' s always sunny in philadelphia .\nshakman has directed several productions at the geffen , beginning with the 2012 west coast premiere of david lindsay - abaire\u2019s tony award - nominated \u201cgood people . \u201d he also helmed jeffrey hatcher\u2019s world premiere adaptation of frederick knott\u2019s \u201cwait until dark\u201d in 2013 and joshua harmon\u2019s comedy \u201cbad jews\u201d in 2014 - 15 .\nshakman says there aren\u2019t a lot of playwrights doing that kind of writing . \u201cwhen i read good people and his other plays , i\u2019ve been impressed that he figured out what shakespeare figured out at the end of his career , \u201d\u009d explains shakman . \u201che spent the beginning doing comedy and then drama and tragedies . by the time he got to the end of his life , he realized , \u2018um , maybe i should write plays about all those things , \u2019 you know , the tempest , a winter\u2019s tale , plays that are as funny as they are moving and as suspenseful as they are dramatic . \u201d\u009d\ndahlia isn ' t a membership company .\ni didn ' t want to have that kind of a structure ,\nexplains the gracious and articulate shakman .\ni wanted a company that was free to make all decisions that we felt were best for our key artistic mission \u2014 developing new works \u2014 rather than trying to satisfy the needs of each member in a large group . i wanted to find the best plays to produce and then find people to be a part of them .\nyet simpatico artists return to work with the theatre .\nthat ' s especially true with designers ,\nsays shakman .\nalongside his theatre career , shakman has continued to direct for film and television . he recently helmed two episodes of hbo\u2019s game of thrones and is a director and producer for fx\u2019s long - running it\u2019s always sunny in philadelphia . his directing credits also include episodes of the good wife , fargo , and mad men .\ncates noted that he ' s\ndelighted\nto welcome shakman into the geffen fold , adding , \u201chis passion for extraordinary storytelling , his strong relationships with artists in theater , film and television , and his commitment to fostering community will be immensely valuable as we continue to advance the mission of the theater . \u201d\nborn and raised in ventura , calif . , shakman began acting on camera at age 4 and attended boarding school in nearby ojai for high school . he then received his theatre training at yale university while performing during summers at the new jersey shakespeare festival . he subsequently launched his career by\npounding the pavement\nin new york , which he continued for two and a half years , landing gigs as assistant director and acting off - broadway . after running a new shakespeare company in vail , colo . , with a colleague for a year or so , shakman returned to california in the late 1990s to pursue new career avenues .\nhowever , it sounds like he really gave it his all . before starting production , shakman had lunch with game of thrones veteran , david nutter who told him \u201cyou\u2019re about to be given the keys to the best ferrari in the world ; all they want you to do is put the pedal to the metal . \u201d\nshakman is no stranger to the geffen playhouse . in 2012 , he directed the west coast premiere of david lindsay - abaire\u2019s tony award - nominated good people , followed by jeffrey hatcher\u2019s world - premiere adaptation of frederick knott\u2019s wait until dark in 2013 . most recently , he directed the geffen\u2019s production of joshua harmon\u2019s bad jews .\njaime lannister\u2019s portrayal in the sequence resembled tom hanks\u2019s character in saving private ryan . amid the carnage on omaha beach , the sound faded away to focus on captain miller\u2019s shock . \u201cthat\u2019s very much what jaime was like in the middle of the battle as he sees these people carbonized and turned to ash , \u201d shakman said .\ntoo bad shakman won\u2019t be back for season 8 . but at least he directed one of my top episodes in the series ( easily in the top 5 , but the exact placement i can only do after got is over and i start a rewatch from the beginning ) . looking forward this sunday to his second venture .\n\u201ci looked at saving private ryan , the opening battle on the beach , where the sound drops out and tom hanks is watching men being burned alive and shot to death , \u201d shakman said . \u201cthat to me was very much what it should feel like for jaime , watching men die left and right around him . \u201d\nwith that much danger on the battlefield , shakman wanted the audience to fear that any one could die at any minute . \u201ci hoped the people watching it would fear for jaime , that they would fear for daenerys when she was on the ground , that they would fear for drogon , that they would fear for bronn , \u201d he said .\nin addition , shakman founded los angeles ' s black dahlia theatre , serving as its artistic director from its beginning in 2001 . the los angeles drama critics circle awarded him the milton katselas award for career achievement in direction in 2011 . even in his new role at the geffen playhouse , however , he will continue to direct for television and film .\n\u201c [ the final scene ] was the first time we saw a battle with the dragons between people that we actually like , \u201d shakman said . \u201cwe\u2019ve seen them in heroic situations\u2014daenerys taking on the slavers in meereen and watching from above as she deals death from the sky . but this was a chance to frame it in a different way . \u201d\nshakman did a terrific job of putting us in the middle of the battle , particularly with that long take where bronn was scrambling to get to the scorpion . and then there was that breathless moment at the end , where jaime charged daenerys in an attempt to take out the dragon queen and end the war for good . \u201cthere\u2019s a point where we think someone is going to die \u2014 either jaime or dany , \u201d shakman said . \u201cand when he charges it\u2019s meant to be the most beautiful death you\u2019ve ever seen . he\u2019s charging through the ash and , in a way , tilting at windmills like don quixote . then he\u2019s obviously saved at the last second \u2014 from the dragon fire at least . \u201d"]}
