  Night Train (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Night Train is the English title for Pociąg, a film released in 1959, directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz.
This is a more amorphous and ambiguous tale than the other masterpieces of the Polish School, and Night Train seems to lack the direct references to recent history and the contemporary political situation of the Poland of the 1950s that are a halmark of the style.
Night Train is no exception, only here he has created an allegory of misfits among a society of passengers, a society that is predicable, suspicious of individuality and eager to punish.

 Boys' Night Out (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boys' Night Out is an American comedy film released in 1962.
Soon it turns out that there is no need whatsoever for Cathy to stall them as none of the men is actually prepared to have sex with her although each of them brags about having slept with her whenever talking to the others.
It should be noted though that not all comedy films made at around that time excluded pre- and extra-marital sex from their plots; see, for example, Boeing Boeing (1965, based on a 1960 farce).

 DVDFILE.COM: Fright Night review
The film debuted August 2, 1985 and was a hit with critics and audiences, still one of the few truly memorable "horror comedies" of the 80's.
Rounding out the cast is a young William Ragsdale in his major motion picture film debut, who's all conviction as Brewster, the plucky and enthusiastic Amanda Bearse as Charlie's girlfriend Amy, and big guy Jonathan Stark plays the vampire's Egor-ish/bisexual assistant with a sly, strange combination of warmth and cruelty.
Though the film print hasn't exactly aged like wine, this DVD is a dramatic improvement in Fright Night's visual presentation, and cheers to Columbia for dedication to anamorphic transfers.

 B&W Photo - Film & Processing Forum: Night photography - film, exposure, development
Night time scenes are contrasty, and I try to compensate but, at the same time, I want it to look like _night_, with dark shadows and bright highlights.
When you hit reciprocity curve on a film the result is higher relative contrast between highlight and shadow/fl areas since the highlight portion of a scene is usually not into reciprocity whereas the shadow areas are and the result is under exposure in the shadows.
Another thing to watch out for with the T-grain films is that in some developers, the response curve actually increases in slope in the highlights, meaning that highlights are rendered with higher contrast than the mids and shadows.

The film stars Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz and is the latest project from Shakespeare In Love director John Madden.
Those to whom the character and the book is dear, may be disturbed by just how romantic the film has become, particularly the ending and the presence of a sex scene.
But veteran Greek actress Irene Pappas who appears in the film said she is not bothered by the way Greece or Greeks are portrayed.

Night of the Living Dead builds a tense atmosphere before the opening credits have finished rolling and manages to keep the pressure on right through to the end of the film.
Shot in fl and white and taking place in the course of a single night, the film brings together a small group of diverse characters, allows them to barricade themselves in a farmhouse and then centres on the frayed nerves and growing tensions which develop between them as a horde of zombies amasses outside.
Night of the Living Dead is also notable for being the first film to feature a fl character in a lead role while not making an issue of race.

The fact it is that Mother Night is one of a cadre of films that is swept under the rug due to the fact that it hits some cultural hot button to the average (slightly prejudicial) person.
Lolita, closely based on the novel by Vladmir Nabaknov, was one of the few films that admits that not only are teens having sex, but that all people, no matter what their ages, are capable of understanding the power that it can hold over someone and capable of abusing it.
Although the Nazis in the film cheer at this, this is a backhanded insult towards them and a joke at their hypocrisy and stupidity.

 October 2001: FILM REVIEW: Before Night Falls
The film is a sanitized version of the life of the noted Cuban poet and novelist Reinaldo Arenas.
Ironically, the U.S., which was busy flushing out and jailing its homosexuals during the McCarthy period, welcomed Cuban gays as part of its overall campaign to destabilize the island.
Schnabel and the cast of "Before Night Falls" are treacherous obstacles on the road to freedom and lesbian-gay liberation.

 New York State Writers Institute - Basquiat & Before Night Falls Film Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
By the end of the film, which opens today, it’s 1988 and Basquiat, at 27, is dead from heroin, cocaine and a failure to reconcile fame with loneliness and enormous self-doubts….
Julian Schnabel's film "Before Night Falls" belongs to what might be called the life-is-but-a-dream school of biographical cinema in the way it hovers ethereally over its subject and conjures up fragments of his consciousness in brilliant, disconnected flashes.
The film's early scenes of Arenas's dirt-poor childhood in Oriente province, where he was brought up by a single mother and his grandparents, are dizzyingly gorgeous, surreal evocations of a sopping semi- jungle environment where he played in mud holes and carved his early poems into trees.

 village voice > film > The Watcher; The Bulls' Night Out by Mark Holcomb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The pill-popping Campbell, who let his lover fall prey to Griffin years ago, is being nurtured by a pretty psychologist (Marisa Tomei with suitably furrowed brow), but she seems less interested in uncovering the source of the agent's guilt than in getting him to ask her out.
The messy emotional confrontations missing from The Watcher are everywhere in The Bulls' Night Out.
Bulls' Night Out is awkwardly overplayed—a domestic subplot involving the lead cop's daughter is particularly punishing—and Farley helps himself to every Scorsese trick in the book.

 A Mid Summer Night's Dream Film Analysis
Michael Hoffman's film dose not stay true to the text, but he must take liberties to allow for this classic story to be entertaining to today's audience.
For the parts of the movie that would be filmed in the woods, they had the filming done indoors at a studio.
Hoffman possibly uses these film moments as a way to incorporate the faries into the real world, so the view will not just have these fairies pop out of no were in the film.

At a premiere screening for the film "Barbershop 2: Back in Business" Tuesday night, the local film community made it clear that Chicago is back in business, too.
About 750 guests attended the actual screening, and just like the first film, the producers used the setting of a neighborhood barbershop to touch on issues ranging from race to politics to religion, and make them funny.
At the end of the night, more than $25,000 was raised for the Open Door Scholarship Fund, available to Chicago public high school graduates who attend Columbia College.

 * NZine * Twelfth Night * Film Review Shakespeare
This is an honest and compelling film that cuts to the centre of the Shakespearean text and conveys it with warmth and humanity, and a commendable lack of hype.
The success of the film is largely due to the fine performances from the cast, particularly Imogen Stubbs, Ben Kingsley, and Helena Bonham Carter (who proves that she can do more than look fragile and ethereal).
When the action of the play begins on the shores of Illyria, we are fully aware of the fact that Viola and her identical twin brother (amazingly so, considering he's a boy) are oblivious of each other's survival.

 [EMLS 8.1 (May, 2002]: 1.1-38 Trevor Nunn's Twelfth Night: Contemporary Film and Classic British Theatre
Nunn's film, on the surface, steers clear of the "cutting-edge": its style is verbal, meditative and restrained - in short, "British." The performances are muted, the text relatively undisturbed, the poetry well spoken and expressive, the cinematography unobtrusive.
Nunn's Twelfth Night, with its classic theatricality and its use of cinematic invention in the service of the text, is a film that may serve as an impetus for such explorations.
In fact, as the film makes clear, he's recklessly "unstaid and skittish in all motions." He longs for Feste's music, which he hears in the distance, and "hurtles wildly down the path." Feste is hanging out in a barn, which Nunn calls his "squat," and is "a bit the worse for drink" (Nunn, 74).

The festival's closing-night film, Stephen Vittoria's One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern, traces the trajectory of the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee who attempted real change in Fortress America.
The film consciously asserts McGovern's decency, positioning him further to the left of anyone nationally prominent today, and less intentionally proves the need for mastering the nuts and bolts of effective campaigning, whether it's for president or a slot on the school board.

Kim Novak has always gotten a bad rap (I thought Maltin said she’d never delivered a natural performance, but that’s not the case according to IMDB’s reprint of his bio of her, so it was probably Ebert).
The film is mildly amusing, not particularly good or well-made.
You had two forward-moving film movements, both arguably aimed at the mass market, both building on what came before, but one a little bit less self-aware (the sex comedy).

High-powered movie studios nearly carried the film version of "Friday Night Lights" across the goal line three times during the past decade.
Production was shelved, in part, because of an overcrowded field of football films this year, said Tom Copeland, director of the Texas Film Commission.
Another problem is that the studios "picked the wrong guy right out of the gate," when they assigned the film to a New York director, he said.

 New York State Writers Institute - A Midsummer Night's Dream Film Notes
It was to be Warner Brothers’ entry into prestige filmmaking, a bid for the carriage trade by a studio whose trademarks were the staccato burp of the gangster tommy gun and the clatter of the newsman’s city room.
Jack and three of his brothers had clawed their way to the top of the fledgling motion picture industry by the late 1920s, and now, Jack was eager to cement his new status as an American aristocrat.
Korngold later wrote, “When I came to Hollywood, I knew no more about films and their making than any other mortal who buys his ticket at the box office.” He suspected that, somehow, the music was played and recorded at the same time the actors spoke their lines.
