	Filmtracks: Wide Awake (Edmund Choi)
		Wide Awake was produced by an orchestra of 90 players, as well as the full American Boychoir, and the resulting sound seems oddly overblown for the film.
		Wide Awake: (Edmund Choi) In one of his first and few solo scoring efforts for a feature film, Edmund Choi employs a large orchestra and choir for a comedy children's genre film.
		Then again, if you're a pure orchestral film music fan, you'll likely believe that a large orchestral and choral score could work in practically any film, and if you are such a person, Wide Awake might open your eyes.

	Review: Wide Awake
		While it's true that the script for Wide Awake isn't all that ambitious, too often relies on the exposition of an overly-verbose narrator, and includes a few necessary contrivances, what makes the film special are the numerous individual moments that shine.
		In this age of cynicism, it's unusual to find a film like Wide Awake.
		Wide Awake is a smoother, more polished movie with a less porous emotional texture, a better-realized story, and more fully-rounded characters.

	Wide Awake
		Wide Awake is a film about young Joshua Beal (Joseph Cross), a fifth grader attending an affluent Catholic school in the Philadelphia area.
		Wide Awake is different from most coming of age/spiritual quest type of films because it doesn't seek to be mainstream in too many ways.
		Wide Awake is a little misleading in its cover, which shows Joshua in his school uniform but wearing black chucks, and Rosie O'Donnell in a nun's habit wearing red low cut chucks.

	Wide Awake
		The film has an impressive cast- Denis Leary and Dana Delany portray his doctor/parents and Robert Loggia plays the boy's grandfather through a series of flashbacks, but even they can't help the film find an audience.
		There was a lot of effort wasted in this film.
		The children this movie is supposedly geared for will be bored, and adults such as myself ( ok, stop laughing), will find it difficult to accept the moralizing of a child under 10.

	The Mystical Movie Guide: Our Movie Nights
		The woman's spiritual journey is inspiringly realistic, and with its OBE-triggered enlightenment the film is comparable to that Ellen Burstyn classic of NDE awakening "Resurrection" (1980).
		The film is a bit dry and arty, depicting the difficulties of staying awake (in the Buddhist sense of being spiritually awake, and hopefully not just to put us asleep).
		This film is the story of Russian mystic George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1877-1949), based on his autobiography of the same title, and focussing on Gurdjieff's formative early years of travelling central Asia in search of spiritual answers.

	WIDE AWAKE
		An interesting project that's moderately successful, "Wide Awake" is seemingly stuck in genre limbo and may have a hard time attracting an audience who won't be sure what the movie's really about.
		The film has its occasional touching moments, such as Joshua always wanting it to snow since that's what his grandfather earlier stated was proof of God's existence, and when Joshua finally accepts an eager, overweight boy as his friend.
		While the "too old for his years" dialogue slightly undermines the film's efforts, it still comes across as a decent little production.

	Cypher (The Matrix) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the first film of the trilogy, Cypher is one of the rebels from Morpheus' hovercraft the Nebuchadnezzar.
		When Cypher realizes that he is not the only one still awake, he immediately turns off all the monitors of the Operator console, preventing Neo from seeing what he was doing.
		Cypher may have been programming the console to automatically activate the data-needle at a certain time to jack himself in, and to auto-dial a hardline to extract himself at a specified time when Neo interrupted him.

	CLASSIC FILMS AND FILM STARS
		The film's most memorable sequence (one which Preminger must have been awake for) has an old lady nurse trying to strangle a deathly ill Wilde so that she can steal his watch; this culminates in a rousing cat-fight between Darnell and the feisty old woman, who winds up strangled to death by her younger adversary.
		While most of the film isn't remotely scary and has little atmosphere, the scene when she's left alone in the house is quite eerie and well done, and her subsequent encounter with Montgomery is extremely effective and well-acted.
		Despite Hitchcock's unusual approach to filming (he shot the entire picture in ten minute takes with only one actual cut), the fluid camera work keeps this interesting on the visual level, and it is not for an instant boring.

	Amazon.co.uk: Swordfish [2001]: DVD
		The plot takes twists and turns (especially in the middle of the film, where they're really effective), and you have to be awake to follow it - it's no "Die Hard" (where you can sleep through part of it, and still know what's happening).
		The numerous explosions and set-piece exchanges of high calibre gunfire tend at times to blowholes in the narrative fabric and sense of Swordfish, a film that nonetheless engages through its extravagant silliness.
		Vinnie Jones is under-used as a fearsome minder, a close-up of Halle Berry's breasts isn't entirely integral to the plotline, while Travolta enjoys himself as the dapper ringmaster of this orgy of techno-chaos, especially in scenes in which he blasts away a brace of pursuing assassins with improbable aplomb and during his opening, Tarantino-esque monologue.

	Christian Century: Fogged in. . - Film - Insomnia - movie review
		The only wide-awake acting in Insomnia comes from Hilary Swank, who plays the novice small-town cop who idolizes Dormer but is clever enough to work out the truth.
		GRIMLY PURPOSEFUL, with barely a shadow of humor, Insomnia is one of those post-Seven thrillers that's so puffed up with its own importance that it doesn't feel it has to bother to be entertaining.
		The role is a cliche that Swank sidesteps neatly by playing it moment by moment, with the unconventional combination of wonder and quick reflexes that she brings to both large roles (Boys Don't Cry) and small (The Gift).

	Edmund CHOI Wide Awake : Film Music on the Web CD Reviews Nov 1999
		This promotional disc features Edmund Choi's debut studio score to the 1998 family film "Wide Awake," about a Catholic schoolboy in search of life's meaning.
		Everything good about "Wide Awake" sets the right groundwork for it to happen, and if (or when) that happens, what an achievement it will be.
		Choy’s score for Wide Awake is so tuneful, so brightly and imaginatively orchestrated and heart-warming in its soaring melodies that criticism is disarmed.

	Film Quips STUART LITTLE 2
		This film is adventurous, fun, and exciting, unlike Stuart Little, during which I found it difficult to stay awake.
		Stuart Little 2, Rob Minkoff's unimaginatively named sequel to his 1999 film Stuart Little, is about as far from its predecessor as it could be in terms of quality.
		Little (played again by Hugh Laurie and Geena Davis) are still just as syrupy sweet to each other and their two sons, George (Jonathan Lipnicki) and Stuart (voice of Fox), as ever before, but now they also have a baby daughter named Martha (played droolingly by 3-year-old twins Anna and Ashley Hoelck).

		I have no interest in seeing either film; the latter sounds like a gore fest, the former like a snore fest.
		The controversy over Brokeback Mountain seems to be less bout two men kissing than it is about whether or not you can stay awake.
		I thought it to be amusing that a theatre in Salt Lake City has banned “Brokeback Mountain” but not “Hostel”.

	Ziegfeld 101: Ziegfeld on Film
		London and Ziegfeld revival star Paul Robeson is on hand as Joe to deliver a memorable "Old Man River." Irene Dunne is Magnolia, a role Ziegfeld cast her in for the national tour, so the great showman's tastes in casting and performance style are very much a part of this classic film.
		Filmed mostly in 1944, it took two years to pound this collection of songs and skits into a workable format.
		This was the first "all talking, all singing, all dancing" film, and the first sound film – let alone musical – to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Michael Collins
		A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 1996 filmcritic.com
		Jordan, best known for his masterpiece The Crying Game, really seems to be falling apart these days (did you stay awake during Interview With the Vampire?).
		Yes, the movie's full of good acting (exception noted above), gory violence, and lavish sets (all of which are blown up by the end of the film), but it ends up being just another over-indulgent sermon by a misguided preacher.

	Vanishing Point Review (1971)
		Yet another film from a big studio designed to appeal to any counterculture leanings in young people after Easy Rider was a hit, Vanishing Point was scripted by Guillermo Cain (a pseudonym for a Cuban film critic).
		The film stakes out its territory early on, with a sequence showing Kowalski in his supercharged Dodge Challenger being forced to flee from a police roadblock and mysteriously disappearing - it's all vaguely meaningful and exciting to watch at the same time.
		American director and actor who worked as a TV director until the late 60s, when he turned his hand to atmospheric films like the haunting British drama Run Wild, Run Free, the existential road movie Vanishing Point and the Burt Reynolds western The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing.

	Film History of the 1920s
		This meant that the film had to be shot with three synchronized cameras, and then projected on a gigantic, 3-part screens.
		In the early 1920s, three nightmarish, German expressionistic films were to have a strong and significant influence on the coming development of U.S. films in the 30s-40s - notably the horror film cycle of Universal Studios in the 30s, and the advent of film noir in the 1940s:
		The dark films of Josef von Sternberg in the late 1920s ushered in the gangster film: Underworld (1927), The Drag Net (1929), and The Docks of New York (1929).

	Pearl Harbor (2001)
		This is not a film about Pearl Harbor, it is not even a film about the war.

		It is a film about that Xerox-copy of Nicole Kidman zigzagging between two All-American farmers cum fly jocks.

		The philosophy behind the SOPHIA story understanding system has been to improve and extend previous theories of conceptual analysis of story understanding by using a new model of semantic memory that I have developed.In my future research I would like to investigate some of human's cognitive activities during literary aesthetic text and film appreciation.
		Haven't done much with computational pragmatics for a while now, but it certainly kept me awake thinking for a few years in the late eighties/early ninetees.
		Important themes for me are reference to and by parts of a multimodal document and the disambiguating effect of combining different modalities.
