A Room with a View (1985) A Room with a View possesses a fabulous cast, beautiful cinematography, an awesome adapted script, and a tale of oppressed desire during the paradigm shift from the repressive Victorian age to the more liberal Edwardian time. Goofs: Errors in geography: The "rooms with south-facing views" which Miss Honeychurch and Miss Bartlett move into clearly face north over the Arno towards the cathedral, as seen when Miss Honeychurch opens the window on the first morning. The film moves at a deliberate pace of country strolls and carriage rides filling the viewer with literary awakenings and music compositions. us.imdb.com /Title?0091867   (401 words)

DVD RE-RUN: Jehane Noujaim On "Control Room": "My Loyalties Are to the Characters" If ever a film could be termed incendiary, it's "Control Room." Helmed by 29-year-old Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (co-director of "Startup.com"), it scans the inner workings of Al Jazeera and comes up with a balanced view of the Arab satellite news agency, even suggesting it might traffic more in truth than our own news media. Noujaim: I won't know until after I've finished with "Control Room." I'll continue making films because I love being able to drop into other people's worlds. iW: So much is going on in the film: news feeds coming into the control room, conflicting reportage, debates on world politics. www.indiewire.com /people/people_040524control.html   (1975 words)

Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Panic Room [2002] This film really sparked off a weird feeling for me, because I had never seen a film so claustrophobically shot before, the cameras that view inside the small air tunnels, the hose pipes and the electrical systems of the Panic Room have a better malevolant and exhilarating feel than any movie I have ever seen. Panic Room is a tightly-packed, suspense filled and disturbing film from David Fincher, the director of Alien 3 and the excellent Se7en. “Panic Room” is a really good movie due to Jodie Foster’s and Kristen Stewart’s acting and to outstanding camera work throughout the movie. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006681E   (1975 words)

Salon.com Arts & Entertainment "The Others" This old-fashioned, relentlessly unshowy film, anchored in a performance that may in its eccentric way be the finest of Kidman's career, reminds us of something crucial. Although the cinematography (by Javier Aguirresarobe) is never flamboyant, it provides a number of striking moments, including a sequence when the heavy curtains are pulled back in room after room after room, admitting an ambiguous daylight that illuminates the house but not its story. The true source of terror and mystery and delight in the movies (and everywhere else) is not digitized goblins or careening point-of-view shots or baroque set design but the shadowy realm of human emotions, the haunted house inside us all. www.salon.com /ent/movies/review/2001/08/10/others/index.html   (1081 words)

'SUM' KIND OF WONDERFUL: Film Freak Central Interviews Phil Alden Robinson, Director of The Sum of All Fears My first meeting with Ben [Affleck] I said, "I can't be looking in the rear-view at McTiernan and Noyce and you can't be looking in the rear-view at Harrison [Ford] and Alec [Baldwin]." I think that my film is less--and don't take this as a criticism of the other films--linear than the others. No matter their subject matter, however, Robinson's films are indicated by a certain heart, a kindness that most-often reveals itself in that indelible baby-boomer obsession of reconciling with the father that found what is perhaps modern cinema's defining example in the director's beloved Field of Dreams. I imagine on my deathbed looking around the room at all the posters of my films and just thinking (nodding), "Yep, that's me." www.filmfreakcentral.net /notes/parobinsoninterview.htm   (2226 words)

Download Control Room Free Torrent Al Jazeera Full Video Film Download Documentary Complete Iraq War Picture Control Room's view inside Al-Jazeera-a network branded "Osama Bin-Laden's mouthpiece" and subject of intense criticism from U.S. administration officials for showing images of Iraqi casualties and American POWs that American viewers never saw-suggests that its views on news reportage might actually be more in tune with democratic ideals than those of its Western counterparts. The Control Room along with Deadline Iraq provides a very vivid view of the war in Iraq from the perspective of reporters. Control Room is a seminal documentary that explores how Truth is gathered, presented, and ultimately created by those who deliver it. www.freedocumentaries.org /controlroom.htm   (306 words)

“Control Room” Views War on Iraq Through Al-Jazeera’s Lenses Nonetheless, one can surmise his viewpoint from a closing comment he makes in “Control Room”: “If I get out of the Marine Corps and I do anything, I want to do something with the Palestinian issue. “Control Room” gives many Americans their first view of corpses and incinerated Iraqis—images which al-Jazeera broadcast to the rest of the world.

Amazon.co.uk: Control Room [2004]: DVD "Control Room" was made by Jehane Noujaim, an Arab-American documentarian who previously made "Startup.com." The director's presence in this film consists of title cards and editing instead of over narration or commentary (the film is in English and Arabic with Arabic subtitles). Equally fascinating is the way "CONTROL ROOM" allows well-meaning, Western-educated, pro-democratic Arabs an opportunity to express their views on Iraq as they see it -- in an international context, and in a way most Yanks and Brits never get to hear about it. Alas, as "CONTROL ROOM" shows, Egyptian-American filmmaker Jehane Noujaim (Startup.com) catches the frantic action at Al-Jazeera headquarters -- as an American fighter jet targets them in their Baghdad hotel room. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00061RZME   (2270 words)

Flipside Movie Emporium: Peeping Tom Movie Review Peeping Tom's themes of voyeurism and its dark relationship with cinema had been previously toyed with in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window and subsequently explored by the likes of Brian De Palma with Sisters (a film that even pays a winking homage to this film with a game show called "Peeping Toms"). Mark takes his 16mm movie camera with him everywhere and spends nights watching his footage in the projector room at the back of his apartment. The beautifully executed opening scene -- in which Mark eyes up a hooker on the street at night and follows her up to her room to kill her -- is shot almost entirely from the point-of-view of Mark's camera. www.flipsidemovies.com /peepingtom.html   (873 words)

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Disney (Deja View)   Walt Disney prepared a film to be viewed by Disney executives after his death, in which he gave them all instructions about how to run their areas of the company. I think it's once a month these fellows sit down and view the film. After Walt died in 1966, his chief executives were escorted to assigned seats in the company screening room. www.snopes.com /Disney/wdco/dejaview.htm   (877 words)

2 hotels pressured for adult film fare Two more Tristate hotels are under prosecutors' investigation for showing in-room adult movies, spurred by complaints from the Sharonville-based Citizens for Community Values. Members of the organization videotaped adult pay-per-view movies and turned them over to prosecutors this month. The hotel is owned by Winegardner & Hammons, the same Blue Ash firm that earlier removed adult pay-per-view from the Marriott Northeast in Warren County under similar circumstances. enquirer.com /editions/2002/12/14/loc_hotelporn14.html   (395 words)

The Cincinnati Post The Cincinnati Marriott Northeast has stopped offering guests pay-for-view adult movies after receiving a warning from the Warren County prosecutor that obscenity charges might be brought against the hotel's operators. The warning was issued after Citizens for Community Values, based in suburban Sharonville, videotaped in-room adult movies and forwarded the tapes to hotel personnel. He said four out of 10 U.S. hotels offer adult pay-per-view movies. www.cincypost.com /2002/aug/05/adult080502.html   (235 words)

'Control Room': A Portrait of Al Jazeera, Reporting the War Its Way The mood of "Control Room" is both frenetic and grim, especially when one of Al Jazeera's Baghdad correspondents is killed, along with two other journalists, by an American rocket. "Control Room," while it takes a more sympathetic view of the network, is also attuned to the paradoxes and predicaments, as well as the dangers, its journalists face. Most of those who appear in the film are skeptical, to say the least, of the Bush administration's policies, but they also cling to a journalistic ethic of objectivity and fairness, trying to navigate between their political allegiances and the code of their craft. www.commondreams.org /headlines04/0402-10.htm   (941 words)

DVD Reviews - Tombstone - Director's Cut & Original Versions There's an additional scene between Wyatt and Mattie (dealing with her opium addiction), an interchange between Doc and Kate (in which he leaves her to back Wyatt's effort to rout the Cowboys), a moment of Doc drunk in his hotel room and a scene in which McMasters meets with the Cowboys and is betrayed. Apparently, that outtakes included on it are basically the scenes were restored into the film for this new director's cut, with one exception. You'll barely notice film grain and there's hardly a spec of dust or dirt to be seen. www.thedigitalbits.com /reviews2/tombstone.html   (1908 words)

The Gore Gore Girls (1972) aka Blood Orgy And with the main purpose for which the film was made almost entirely removed, it is impossible to really give an objective opinion of whether it is a good or a bad splatter film. While you can debate the moral merits of a trimming a film that revels in such extreme sadism against women, cutting a Lewis film of its gore effects does remove the single reason that anyone might have to want to view it. There is still one or two scenes left in this version - the opening where a girl's face is shoved into a mirror in her dressing room and an incredibly fake-looking scene where a head is split open with a machete - but even these have clearly been trimmed. www.moria.co.nz /horror/goregoregirls.htm   (924 words)

The Australian Film Industry vs The Film Industry in Australia There are dozens of films produced in Australia each year that may not ever be released and it is mainly because of distributors and the audiences view that these films are personal, made for cultural rather than commercial reasons. The only other Australian film is Crocodile Dundee 2 (1988) at #123 with $239,600,000 (all dates accurate at 5th December 2000; http://yeah.to/movies). Films today are categorised as mainstream or art house or alerternative and films are released this way due to commercial concerns rather than the films own merits. skyscraper.fortunecity.com /solomon/210/featureindustry.htm   (1286 words)

BBC NEWS Entertainment Film Film producer Merchant dies at 68 Their films, particularly the adaptations of EM Forster's A Room With a View and Howard's End, helped revive audiences' taste for period dramas. Merchant produced almost 50 films for the company and also turned his hand to directing on a handful of occasions. Fellow film producer Lord Puttnam said he was an "extraordinary talent". news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/entertainment/film/4580689.stm   (551 words)

The Big Heat (1953) The gritty crime film opens appropriately with a much-celebrated, giant closeup of a.38 gun lying on a living room desk. It emphasized the film's uncompromising and grim story of an iron-willed, driven, dedicated, honest, incorruptible homicide detective within a crooked and perverted society and corrupt system at all levels (e.g., the mob, the commissioner, the police, and everyday citizens), and the enormous price that is paid to find justice. The nihilistic film is best known for the shocking, misogynous scene of facial disfigurement, when a pretty gangster moll has a pot of scalding coffee callously tossed into her face by her abusive, enraged and disgruntled boyfriend. www.filmsite.org /bigh.html   (3231 words)

Amenabar's ghost film lives out childhood fears The film, which opens Friday, has the markings of a kid's-eye-view horror flick: The aversion to light breeds a fear of the dark. The film, he says, is more about family secrets, and how the children in "The Others" are wiser than their mother, Grace, a woman who uses her religious faith to deny her supernatural situation. This requires Mom and her mysterious new three-person staff to keep the curtains drawn whenever the children are in the room. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2001/08/07/DD161654.DTL&type=printable   (594 words)

Blow-Up (1966) The film ends with an aerial view of Thomas standing in the middle of a grassy field in the park near the tennis court, with his camera in his hand. Another indelible image emphasizing the slim line between objective reality and illusion - in the film's finale, he participates with a group of pantomiming students in white-face, tossing an invisible tennis ball to them as they play an invisible game of tennis with non-existent rackets and balls, and an audience. Antonioni's first film in English, it quickly became one of the most important films of its decade, and a milestone in liberalized attitudes toward film nudity and expressions of sexuality. www.filmsite.org /blow.html   (640 words)

Matrix Discussion: Matrix Online, Reloaded, Trailers, Revolutions :: View topic - the room numbers 101 303 505 also 303 is around too (thats the room neo runs into at the very end of the original, where he dies and comes back again, trinity was in room 303 at the very begining of the original when the police squad are sent up to get her). I think anyone who thinks that 101 and 303 etc in the film is just as significant as 1 and 3, or just thinks they're nice numbers the W brothers put in off the top of their heads, is missing a great deal from both films. 101 is significant beacuse of the binary implications, and the historical aspects of the number 101. homenetz.com /matrixreloaded/viewtopic.php?t=52   (4052 words)

Ismail Merchant--Biography Following the commercial and critical enthusiasm for the Forster adaptations A Room with a View (1985), Maurice (1987), and Howards End (1992), the teams produced the immaculate historic reconstruction Remains of the Day (1993), which like Howards End pitted actors Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins in a high-rent battle of the sexes. Their first under a deal with Disney, Jefferson in Paris (1995), met with critical dismissals and an underwhelming box office, and other attempts, from The Wild Party (1975) to My Little Girl (1986) to Slaves of New York (1989), hardly made a dent in film history. This Bombay-born producer is one half of the prolific Merchant/Ivory team which has been responsible for scores of literate, beautifully shot, languid, and sometimes erotic films since the mid-'60s. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Hills/2850/ismail2.html   (4052 words)

* NZine * Michael Collins * Film Review, Irish history, IRA "Michael Collins" is perhaps more closely related to historical fact than "In the Name of the Father", but both films have the capability to make one stop and consider the nature of conflict and the realities of life in such a situation. Inevitably there are comparisons to be drawn between "Michael Collins" and "In the Name of the Father", the other well known film in recent years to tackle modern Irish history and its effect on the people involved. Perhaps the most telling scene shows Collins hiding in a Hotel room waiting and agonising while his men are out assassinating the complete special British team who were supposed to be there to "clean up the mess". www.nzine.co.nz /reviews/collins.html?Rcat=Reviews&Tcat=Reviews   (471 words)
