Art house film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Art house films, also called art films are motion pictures that were not intended by their producers to appeal to a mass audience, but rather seek a niche amongst specialty theatres usually found in large urban areas. Art films, foreign films, and documentaries are usually art house films but from time to time they catch the appeal of the mainstream viewing audiences. Because of their limited release, art house films are usually relegated to specialist art house cinemas, and may be difficult to find for those who do not live in big metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, which tend to be more culturally diverse. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Art_house_film   (311 words)

Art film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Art house film. Art film rejects this as unrealistic, and attempts to portray real life situations and characters where things happen that do not always have a clear meaning or purpose, but instead are vague and even mysterious. Art film provides similar kinds of cinematic illusion that one finds in classical Hollywood, but by loosening the ties between its style and narrative concerns, it allows for increased subjective realism and authorial expressivity. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Art_film   (513 words)

Road House (1989 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Road House is a 1989 film directed by Rowdy Herrington and starring Patrick Swayze as a top bouncer at a seedy roadside bar (it is not related whatsoever to the 1948 movie).

Rigging his car to crash into Wesley's house as a distraction, Dalton sneaks into Wesley's compound and proceeds to take out each of his thugs one at a time. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Road_House_(1989_film)   (604 words)

ROAD HOUSE at HOLLYWOOD TEEN MOVIES "Road House" does at times remind you of the old Hollywood westerns, where a legendary gunfighter is brought in to clean up a lawless town. "Road House" was moderately successful at the U.S. box office, bringing in a cool $30 million but has nevertheless become a cult classic. "Road House" might go over-the-top at times but it is certainly tough 80's action cinema at its best. www.hollywoodteenmovies.com /RoadHouse.html   (604 words)

roadhouse.html Road House also has a lot of topless ladies in it, so I'm assuming the producers were attempting to create the ultimate cheese cake date movie that appeals to both the guys and the gals. The plot of Road House is, to quote Nelson, "a legendary bouncer finds love and battles his demons in a small bar just outside Kansas City." The legendary bouncer, Dalton, (Swayze) is brought in to turn the Double Deuce from a rough, sleazy hell hole into a tacky suburban yuppie watering hole. His reasoning: it was a bad film, but it's producers meant it to be and it fulfilled everyone's expectations. www.hep.umn.edu /~jenny/roadhouse.html   (604 words)

LACMA Film A "sister" to such father-oriented oedipal films as The Conformist and The Spider's Stratagem, Luna is one of Bertolucci's most audacious and under-appreciated films, and a film that resounds with the director's favorite motifs. An epic to beat all epics, 1900 is a film that covers seventy years of Italian social and political history through the lives of a wealthy land-owning family (the Berlinghieris) and the peasant family (the Dalcos) that farms their estate in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. The film is essentially a tribute to Verdi and as such is at once beautiful, funny, sad, and operatic. www.lacma.org /art/film/0407JulFilm/bertolucci.htm   (2156 words)

Art House Film Bravura Out of all the past few years’ films, “ Memories of Murder” is the only one that would make sense as a response to the Abu Ghraib torture, even if it’s a reaction to a much different time and place. However, his films continue to suffer from a troubling, voyeuristic fascination with children in pain and jeopardy. Ironically, the setting is both a backwater and the center of the world’s attention––the film begins with a boy’s efforts to set up a satellite dish, which delivers an English-language CNN broadcast that no one can understand. www.gaycitynews.com /gcn_359/arthousefilm.html   (1082 words)

Road House The film's current status as a film noir is borne out in Joseph LaShelle's moody interiors and some crackling dialogue: "She does more without a voice than anyone I ever heard." But Lupino as Lily signals its prewar roots. The road house itself has the generic look of the classical Hollywood set, archetypally American and occupying a dateless contemporaneity, a perennial 'now'. In 1950, Panic in the Streets (Kazan) would be filmed entirely on the streets and waterfront of New Orleans. www.sensesofcinema.com /contents/cteq/01/15/road_house.html   (1082 words)

deseretnews.com - Movie review: Road House Deseret Morning News Web edition Though it doesn't say so anywhere in the film, "Road House" must be set on another planet where the inhabitants resemble humans. "Road House" is rated R for violence, sex, nudity and profanity, all in abundance. Really, though, "Road House" is about nothing more than Patrick Swayze cracking heads and showing off his nude backside. deseretnews.com /movies/view/1,1257,1548,00.html   (1082 words)

Boxoffice Magazine [ROAD TRIP Film Review]    Road Trip--two of the most famous words in movies, a defiant cry that started a lunatic chain of events in the classic "Animal House." Now "Road Trip" has been retooled for the 21st century and is a worthy successor to the exploits of Bluto, Otter and the rest of the Delts.    There is a direct lineage between "Animal House" and "Road Trip." "House" producer Ivan Reitman saw "Road Trip" helmer/writer Todd Phillips' documentary "Frat House" at Sundance and put the "Road Trip" wheels in motion, which included him executive producing. The reason for the road trip is to retrieve a self-recorded video, showing Josh (Breckin Meyer) in a compromising position with his new pal Beth (the gorgeous Amy Smart), mailed in error to Josh's long-time girlfriend. www.boxoffice.com /scripts/fiw.dll?GetReview?&where=ID&terms=4884   (1082 words)

Independent Thought Alarm >> Reviews >> Road House ROAD HOUSE might not be the best of the worst, but it's pretty close: the touching story of a legendary bouncer who strolls into a town at the mercy of the fiendish Ben Gazzara, cleaning up the filthy corruption by tossing drunks out on their asses and not wearing his shirt. ROAD HOUSE takes itself dead serious; as far as director Rowdy Herrington is concerned, Dalton's plight is pure Shakespearian tragedy. It's clear from the get-go that Wesley is evil because he is always referred to as "Brad Wesley." It's never "Brad" or "That mean Wesley guy." No, it's always "We've got to stop Brad Wesley!" or "That damn Brad Wesley!" Not surprisingly, that's the smartest dialogue to be found in ROAD HOUSE. www.geocities.com /mattsingersite/roadhouse.html   (1082 words)

Movies - Independent, Art House, Foreign Film Reviews and Recommendations For those who don't live in an area that is served by art house cinemas and film festivals, there are the cable and satellite TV movie channels, but even then you are limited to their current fare. Because of my personal love of art house film, I have started to put together this catalog of art house and foreign movie recommendations, and also some general release movies that have cinematic merit. Those of us who enjoy Independent, Foreign, and Art House films can find it difficult to get to see our favorite movies, often having to content ourselves with annual film festivals or driving a long way to a theater that specializes in art house movies. www.arikiart.com /independent-foreign-movies-arthouse-films   (801 words)

Barnard Cinema Club - Reviews Croupier is an art house film trying to hard to be an art house film. These parts have been mashed together to create a desperately frustrating film about a writer who turns back to working as a croupier to earn some money - and get a few ideas. After 60 minutes of constant droning from the main character, it becomes very hard to watch and by the end it is hard to care about the mainly predictable twists crammed into the last five minutes, probably to appease for the dullness that precedes it. www25.brinkster.com /waymaster/bcc/reviews.asp?ReviewID=49   (211 words)
