		You can move across the section of the movie either by simply dragging the slider while holding down shift, or by incrementing frame by frame while holding down shift.
		When you want to make a movie of your own out of pieces of other material, you first need to open a blank movie, which you will then work with.
		These are the basics, but there are other fun details which I have left out for brevity.

	Modamag.com \| Basic (Movie Review)
		Director John McTiernan comes to “Basic” after taking a flat-out beating over his last picture, the doomed “Rollerball.” I didn’t have the venom for the roller derby remake that others did, but I recognized that it was an off day for the normally gangbusters director (“Die Hard, “The Thomas Crown Affair”).
		“Basic “ is troubling to me because it confirms now that McTiernan might be losing his grip on quality, and that without a water-tight script soon, he could become another casualty in the Hollywood war.
		“Basic” is a film shot mainly in the dark and the rain, so the confusion over character names is compounded by the fact that we can’t ever see them either.

	Basic movie review *** - CTF
		With as many plot twists as "Basic" had, it was hard for me to develop an opinion of this movie until the very end.
		With "Basic," Travolta may have risen a little bit from his slump, though we'll have to wait and see what he does next.
		"Basic" was an almost intelligent military thriller with a few too many twists and turns, but in the end, it twisted and turned in all the right directions.

	Unhollywood Guide to Movie Making: Basic Ideas
		Making a movie is extremely expensive in Hollywood, which in turn makes it extremely difficult to break into the industry.
		Later, in editing, the beginning of an actor's recorded dialog would be manually synchronized with the actor's image on film; and when the two began to drift apart (as they inevitably would), the picture was simply cut away to something else, such as a reaction shot.
		Due to the inherently expensive nature of film, micro-budget movie makers have often been drawn to the alternative of video - because in comparison to film stock, video tape is dirt cheap.

	Basic (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I like movies like these, where you see different characters telling their version of one event, but the mistake Vanderbilt makes is that he overuses the plot flashbacks in the middle of other events.
		"Basic" confused me, but after the film was over and my mind was in a knot trying to figure out all the different plot twists, I realized how much fun I had being duped by this film.
		I laughed to myself as I came to realize that this movie has a paper-thin plot, and the filmmakers all tricked us by taking so many twists and turns and throwing so many confusion bones at the audience and making us believe that the underlying plot of the film was something deep.

	Load Movie in Macromedia Flash \|Flash Tutorials @ Wildform
		Load Movie is an essential command to any serious Flash developer, as well as any user of third-party SWF software such as Wildform Wild FX, since Macromedia Flash can not import Flash 4 or 5 SWFs.
		The center point of your empty movie clip in Flash (the dot on your stage, or the cross-hair when you edit the movie clip) is where the upper left corner of your external SWF will be located.
		While it is possible to move and fade movie clips with ActionScript (by shifting the _alpha, _x, and _y properties for the movie clip), that is not the easiest method, and it is not the method I have chosen to illustrate here.

	Basic Movie Review
		Basic is a film that's anything but basic in the plot department.
		Basic was directed by John McTiernan and I'm happy to report that this is a vast improvement upon his last film, the dreadful Rollerball, but this isn't exactly praise.
		Basic is mediocre primarily due to it's silly screenplay.

	Basic Movie Review (John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson) By Brendan Cullin Empire Movies
		John McTiernan's Basic is not nearly as terrible as his previous "work" Rollerball, quite possibly the worst movie in the long and storied history of Hollywood movies.
		Basic is another one of those military movies where there has been scandal in the army and Travolta is called in to clean up the mess and find out the real truth.
		And not surprisingly, about ten seconds into his first on-screen appearance, we are "treated" to a wet and shirtless Travolta, no doubt a clause he had written into his contract to stroke that ego that is probably twice the size of his enormous head.

	Radio Free Movie Review: Basic (2003)
		In the military thriller Basic, a young U.S. Army provost marshal (Connie Nielsen) teams up with a cocky DEA agent (John Travolta) to investigate the suspicious death of a hated Marine sergeant (Samuel L. Jackson).
		For the majority of the movie, his character is one mean mutha-shut-yo-mouth who constantly demoralizes his recruits with trash talk and harsh orders.
		Basic has been touted as the first onscreen pairing of stars Travolta and Jackson since their acclaimed turns in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

		See this movie if you want two hours of your life to be sucked from your brain and flushed down the toilet.
		I would put this movie in the ranks of 2001: a space odessy, as far as mindbenders are concerned.
		Basic is a great military, ''detective-style, '' thriller, reminiscent of John Travolta's previous foray into this genre, ''The General's Daughter, '' while raising the ante.

	Basic Review Movie Review Film Basic: John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Connie Nielsen, Brian Van Holt, Timothy Daly, ...
		Okay, Basic may not be the most derivatively insulting showcase to ever offend one's set of eye sockets and it certainly presents an artistic breath of fresh air over the recent combined cinematic efforts of both McTiernan and Travolta collectively.
		In obligatory fashion, the movie is abusively bombarded by a series of flashback sequences meant to inform the folks as to what this whole elaborate guessing game is all about.
		There are many sources connected with the convoluted Basic that could easily assume the guilty role concerning their involvement with this cockeyed, turgid tale.

	Basic Movie Review
		"Basic" promises the long-awaited reunion of "Pulp Fiction" costars John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson.
		Ribisi seems almost to be playing a dual role, one in the jungle and one in the hospital bed, where he goes so over the top he ends up doing an impression of "The Exorcist".
		It is in writer/co-producer James Vanderbilt's obsessive concept, which is so hell bent on tricking us at every turn that it finally staggers through the streets of New Orleans to a twist of an ending that hasn't earned its place at the table.

	Basic Instinct - DVD Movie Central
		Basic Instinct is a psycho-sexually charged piece of film noir where all characters walk in shadow, where manipulation is a game to some and destructive to others, and where judgment is often overpowered by carnal impulses and bare human emotion.
		The second is by feminist film critic Camille Paglia, who discusses the movie from a fan’s point of view, as well as dismissing the notion of misogynistic or homophobic undercurrents in it.
		Basic Instinct is loved by many, hated by others…it’s the kind of film that’s impossible to be neutral about.

	OOFnet - Cinema - Basic - Movie Reviews
		BASIC: Surprise villain is played by a bland yet affable B-list actor for whom this role is bigger in scale than anything they've done for the past decade, which isn't to say it doesn't suck
		BASIC: Because it's being told by flashback, the name of a key character who's evil is misidentified as that of a good guy until it's revealed as a stunning twist towards the end
		The minute you see him, you know he's gotta be bad, as this movie uses celebrity casting in the supporting parts (except for those 2 interchangeable cadets) as a sign post for who's gonna matter in the answer to its big mystery.

	Basic London Movie Review
		Basic is an unbelievably crap thriller that should be avoided like your life depended on it.

	Movie Review - Basic - eFilmCritic
		Of course, being that Rollerball was a thoroughly incompetent cinematic turkey, the fact that Basic is superior to it isn't exactly intended as lavish praise.
		It was the ultimate hypocritical picture: purporting to be disgusted by the very same misogynistic attitudes and actions the filmmakers expected you in turn to be enraptured by as they played out on the silver screen.
		Sadly, both of these are true of Basic, but what's truly infuriating is its total disdain for the people who've paid perfectly good money to sit through it.

	Popcorn Monsters - Review for Basic by jatremblay
		For one thing, the movie is now being shown on Cinemax, about a year after its initial release in theatres.
		While Basic proves itself viewable, despite countless plot twists and mystery that lingers until the end, it is really nothing more than a typical action film.
		In addition, this is one movie it is best not analyzed, as you will likely walk away frustrated.

	Basic Movie Review
		It's "Rashomon" meets "The General's Daughter" as John Travolta reprises a role similar to his in the latter film as helmer McTiernan drives this action vehicle that begins with two different tellings about a deadly event that smacks of sinister overtones.
		Travolta, who shed 25 pounds and trained with US Special Forces in preparation for "Basic," looks great and carries his usual assured self-confidence as his Tom Hardy peels the layers of the mystery surrounding the investigation.
		"Basic" is a good-looking film that has some earnest performances but it gets too wrapped up in all of its twists and turns that, in the end, confuse more than entertain.

	BASIC movie review by Betty Jo Tucker... John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson... at The Mystery Club www.fictionweb.com
		Because mystery surrounds what actually happened in the Basic incident -- one described in different ways by each survivor (a la Rashomon), director John McTiernan (Die Hard) knew what he was doing.
		Still, with the addition of a violent hurricane plus unrelenting lightning and thunder, viewers who have sensitive ears or are prone to migraine headaches should be forewarned.
		Until you see the movie, you’ll just have to guess which ones.

		With its twisty-turning plot and military setting, Basic could be the love child of an illicit affair between The Usual Suspects and The General's Daughter; it even borrows the star of the latter.
		In Basic John Travolta plays Tom Hardy, a former Army Ranger and interrogator extraordinaire who's now a DEA agent in Panama suspended from duty on suspicion of bribery.

		With John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in a movie together you know it has to be a good one, and Basic doesn't disappoint.
		At this point I need to stop telling story points as there are more than a few plot twists along the way, and just at the point where you think you've figured it all out it will throw another one at you.
		This isn't a great movie, but it was enjoyable and much more interesting than the dreadful Tears of the Sun, thus we're giving it 4 stars.
