	The Big Lebowski (1998)
		The blue Volkswagen driven by the private eye is a reference to the Coen brothers' first film, Blood Simple.
		As with many other films by the Coen brothers The Big Lebowski is an odd array of out of the ordinary characters slapped right in the middle of an improbable situation.
		After viewing this film one can see why actors who can actually practice their craft are worth their weight in gold.

	Philosophy of Film
		Because the study of film is already institutionalized within academia in the discipline of film studies, and because that field includes a separate sub-field of film theory, it might seem that, unlike literature and music, say, film is already well-served by this institutional base.
		Male viewers of film, it was held, identify with their idealized screen counterparts and enjoy the objectification of women through both screen images that they view with pleasure and also narratives in which the male characters with whom they identify come to possess the sought after female character.
		As film and its related digital media continue to expand in their influence upon the lives of human beings, the philosophy of film can be expected to become an even more vital area for philosophic investigation.

	1998 Film Society Awards: Summary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Film societies have always aspired to be more than simply a cheap form of cinema and one important aspect to show this is by providing programme notes.
		Our Film Society of the Year is such a society but as with many long established operation, had encountered many difficulties, ranging from venue, finance, membership and the inevitable sense of inertia just to keep going.
		Whilst maintaining traditional things such as reactions, comments to films, wine and cheese events, their promotion and publicity has embraced everything through poster displays through the town, newspaper and radio to delivery of publicity by bicycle on the one hand and the creation of their own web-site on the other.

	1998 WPA FILM FESTIVAL
		Most films on mental illness focus on adults and their families; this film daringly traces the toll of mental illness on adolescents or young adults.
		This film gives an intimate view of the funny and frustrating sides of growing up the daughter of a high-achieving mother who had time for everything but her kids.
		By filming four mothers and daughters of contrasting age, class and family dynamics, the filmmaker captures certain traits that almost all mother/daughter relationships have in common, such as the mother's desire for the daughters safety versus the daughters need for independence.

	1998 Sundance Film Festival Update #3 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The film is actually a rather unabashed attempt to copy Tarantino that is unique for only two things: both the director, Jennifer Leitzes, and the lead actor, Kyra Sedgwick, are women.
		However, while Lietzes' film lacks a clear narrative direction, there are times when the effective performances and high level of energy allow us to forget the bigger picture and enjoy the instance.
		A critic friend of mine lambasted it as one of the worst films of the young year, and several other people I spoke to remarked that they had heard it was the biggest dud of the festival.

	1998 WPA FILM FESTIVAL
		The film critically examines the pressure to look young and attractive, the lack of positive older role models, and the ways in which AIDS intensifies the fear and process of aging.
		Filmed during a series of seminars on the subject of death, participants described their reactions as children to the growing knowledge of death.
		The prairie wind is not responsible for the dirt flying in this film; the culprits are neighboring gophers with an un-neighborly appetite for anger and revenge.

		What is left out is left out, be it some characters that has no major relation to what the director thought to be the main story or some solitary incidents however interesting they might be.
		The two main young characters of the film are played nicely by Claire Danes and Hans Matheson.
		Danes acted up to the standard of this film's allover acting level, which is quite good.

	1998 Sundance Film Festival Update #4 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Like all film festival handouts, they don't mean much of anything to me anyway.
		All awards are overrated, which is probably why film critics spend so much time writing about who should win them, why they should win them, and why the real winners should be sunk at sea.
		While it wasn't as unpleasant as advertised, I was nonplused at the lack of quality of films presented.

	Film Journal 1998
		Virtually plotless, the film consists of a series of vignettes set in a small Ohio town that was devastated years before by a tornado (an underdeveloped conceit), and centers on the town's aimless, frequently-unsupervised youth population.
		The film is basically a non-stop valediction of a teacher, loved by virtually everybody across the generations, who resigns his post in order to devote himself full-time to writing.
		Kurosawa's latest film, made in 1993, and only just making its way to Chicago (and not through any kind of proper distribution, mind you, but by special arrangement with some Japanese cultural entity or whatever), is the type of film which shouldn't work at all.

	Boston Film Festival 1998

	Radio Recall: Radio's Yellow Brick Road
		There were three produced in 1910 alone and all were silent films, of course.
		For example, the magic shoes were silver (as in the books) not ruby-red (as in the MGM film.) The radio series only lasted from September 1933 to March 1934.
		Oh yes, one other bit of trivia....when the 1939 MGM film was nearly completed, it was deemed too long by the studio big-wigs and their first suggestion was to cut the song, "Over the Rainbow."

	The 1998 Boston Film Festival (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Towne's film is not the first big-screen treatment of the runner's life (last year's Prefontaine was a pedestrian effort), and neither does it penetrate much beyond the television image of the athlete at the 1972 Olympics with which it opens.
		Little is learned about his background (there's a glimpse of his disapproving mother, no explanation for the absent father, and a flashback to Steve as a child being chased, Forrest Gump-style, by local bullies), and that may be for the best.
		The conflict is unresolved, though the fact that Prefontaine died in a car crash at 26 and Bowerman would go on to develop the first Nike running shoes could be used as an argument either way.

	frontline: from jesus to christ - the first christians
		The film then turns to the period that followed Jesus' death, examining the rise of Christianity and concluding with the First Revolt -- the bloody and violent siege of Jerusalem and the beginning of a rift between Christianity and Judaism.
		The film looks at another bloody Jewish war against Rome, the second Revolt, assessing its impact on the Christianity movement.
		The broadcast documents the extraordinary events of the second and third centuries in which Christianity grew from a small Jewish sect to an official religion of the Roman Empire.

	June 1998 - Film
		Robert Bierman's film version of George Orwell's novel of 1930s London, Keep the Aspidistra Flying, blandly retitled A Merry War for American moviegoers who may be stumped by the name of the houseplant that epitomizes lower-middle-class English respectability, is nevertheless a wickedly clever piece of satirical fun.
		Crisply adapted by the television writer Alan Plater, A Merry War is a handsome period piece that does full justice to Orwell's scorn for the pretensions and hypocrisies of England's hidebound class structure.
		Frail but entirely in command, Mastroianni plays Manoel, an aged film director who accompanies a half-French, half-Portuguese actor and two others to the village in Portugal where the actor's father was raised.

		Oscar and Lucinda will bet on anything but their love for each other, until finally Oscar, believing his beloved to be enamored of her exiled friend, the Reverend Hasset (Ciaran Hinds), stakes his life on an act that he hopes will prove his devotion.
		Julie Christie makes a vibrant return as Phyllis, a former B-movie actress who now languishes in her bathrobe, watching her old films and tolerating the many affairs of her contractor husband, Lucky (Nick Nolte), whom she has kept at arm's length since they quarreled years ago.
		Rudolph's spry screenplay undercuts the wistful sorrow of these four wounded souls with often hilarious dialogue, as they talk past one another, and ends on a goofy note of hope.

		The film stars a wildly expressive Alfre Woodard as Loretta, a young, jobless mother whose rock-bottom self-esteem marks her an easy target for the temptations of her poor Chicago 'hood.
		Loretta's awkward adjustment amid the willows and white clapboards is wholly predictable, yet first-time screenwriter Myron Goble plies an affecting twist or two, most notably the haunting lore behind a family heirloom, a candelabra named Nathan.
		Still, the film serves up many clunky moments, in part the result of to Angelou's green camerawork (she previously directed plays and documentaries) and the story's earnest attempt to cram in too many issues -- addiction, guns, job reform, class frictions.
