'Blame Canada': They Don't Just Play Hockey Up There, Eh? Best of all among the recent films being screened this weekend is Gary Burns's dark 1997 comedy "Kitchen Party," a satiric vision of suburban sterility in which a bored teenager breaks his parents' house rules with an unauthorized beer party that skids out of control. A study of the legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the country's prime minister from the late 1960's to the mid-80's, the film credits him as Canada's great unifier who fostered a sweeping agenda that kept the country from splitting apart. One of best and most revealing films in the series is a new documentary, "Just Watch Me: Trudeau and the 70's Generation," to be shown on April 23 and 26. partners.nytimes.com /library/film/041400choice-film-review.html   (486 words)

Chopstick Cinema And because there was a plump, purple eggplant in my crisper, just begging to be invited to the party, I decided to make up a big batch of ratatouille, that marvelous vegetable stew that's oh-so-tasty over vermicelli with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a side of Italian sausages. The dinner will probably happen over the weekend when Will and Rene are both here to share it with me. After being so closely tethered to my laptop with publication layout for the past two weeks, I'm definitely looking forward to getting back in the kitchen. One day last week, my son Will marched in from school and announced that the Cafe du Monde, my favorite restaurant in all the world, had reopened in the French Quarter, replete with a newly remodeled kitchen. weblogs.thingsasian.com /tablogs/page/cheiter/20051028   (3313 words)

Movies/party at kitty and studs "Party at Kitty and Stud's/The Italian Stallion" started life as a genuine pornographic X film, though it has been brutally edited down -- probably at the time it was retitled and re-released. Sly lacks his trademark sneer, and talks normally in "Party". This movie came out in 1970, when Sly was but 24 years old, living in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, and working a variety of menial jobs (including cinema usher) while trying to break into the movies. tafkac.org /movies/party_at_kitty_and_studs.html   (718 words)

Koch On Film Karen Barwick, co-owner of Boomerang Toys along with her husband, John, realized just how limited resources in Tribeca are for children about a year ago as she scrambled to find a gift for her son’s friend, who was having a birthday party in the neighborhood. Thus, Boomerang Toys has a complete Brio Wooden Railway System table assembled for kids, and there is frequently a play kitchen or a dollhouse erected, among other toys. Boomerang also stocks the latest toy fads, such as Mighty Beanz and Magz-X, along with tried-and-true favorites like Mad Libs, which are popular with both children and their parents. www.thevillager.com /villager_31/batterpark.html   (1020 words)

bfi Sight & Sound Natural Selection Pusher II 's wedding party is a tacky club where strippers gyrate to deafening techno while the bride snorts herself into oblivion in the kitchen. What's most horrifying about Milo's day is that the film treats all his actions - brokering deals, feeding his guests, mincing up bodies - as being on the same prosaic level of business to be taken care of. Pusher II is the way we see children exposed to their parents' universe, like Duke's younger son. www.bfi.org.uk:8080 /sightandsound/feature/49268   (1477 words)

Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party He also told us that it was filmed in three days, it was not filmed on Tobolowsky's birthday, and that they filmed all of the stories at the film's locales (in a kitchen, at a BBQ pit, in a living room with guests). In "Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party," director Kevin Brinkman, best known as a Hollywood cinematographer, turns his camera on this well-known face and we get 90 minutes of nothing but talking head. He told us that these were the only lies in the film, that all of Tobolowsky's stories were true and that he had heard them many times. www.filethirteen.com /reviews/stbp/stbp.htm   (558 words)

Manas: Culture, Indian Cinema: Mrinal Sen By the early eighties, Sen, who had now become a national figure, was beginning to show a different comtemplative side, and his films also become reflections on film-making. In Ek Din Pratidin, Sen explores the trauma induced in a middle-class Bengali home when the working daughter fails to return home on time; in Kharij, he explores the anxieties created by the accidental death of a servant from gas poisoning while he slept in the kitchen. These films are masterful explorations of the middle-class morality, the stucture of everyday life and its oppressions, the mentalite (as the French would say) of domesticity, and the urban setting of Calcutta. www.sscnet.ucla.edu /southasia/Culture/Cinema/Mrinal.html   (482 words)

waydowntown Canadian writer/director Gary Burns' ("The Suburbanators-1995"/ "Kitchen Party-1997") Waydowntown keeps the quirky premise humming throughout, no matter that the premise is limited in scope, as it highlights how the modern workplace eats up a big chunk of our life more than ever before in history. The film's title is derived from a bad joke, which serves the film well. Tom is asked by a young, obnoxious worker at the mall coffee shop "What's the difference between the #15 bus and a box of marbles?" The answer is: "the bus takes you downtown, but the marbles take you waydowntown." That means you've gone suicidal or loony. www.sover.net /~ozus/waydowntown.htm   (399 words)

Bibliography/Filmography Then, about halfway through the film, the zombies are loosed into a huge crowd of people whom the hero’s uncle has invited to the house for a party -- and it’s all on for young and old. Moreover, this is one of the few zombie films to actually reflect the difference between a zombie and a ghoul (as discussed in the first part of this series), in that some of its creatures are demonic and do actually feed on corpses (ghouls) and some are re-animated corpses (zombies). That the zombie movie hasn’t, in fact, gone as far as it can go seems to be indicated by its continuing ability to produce such wildly inventive films as Peter Jackson’s Braindead and even the more conventionally bizarre Death Becomes Her. www.phillyburbs.com /zombies/essay/seven.shtml   (399 words)

Film Society of Lincoln Center Having experimented—not very effectively—with cuts between close-ups, long-shots and even panoramic vistas in Lonesome Cowboys, filmed in chilly Arizona exteriors, Warhol in Blue Movie returns to the confined interior landscapes (bedroom, bath and kitchen) that he knows best, most of the time alternating between tight and medium close-ups. In its crucial moments, it’s just as cold and mechanical as any conventional blue movie, principally because it’s impossible to be a third party in such circumstances and not feel slightly absurd, aware of physical details that—once seen—really aren’t very interesting in themselves. Warhol, who is a master in the art of reversals, structures his blue movie more or less backwards. www.filmlinc.com /wrt/programs/avant5.htm   (520 words)

Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority The bleak world of interconnected downtown skyscrapers, apartment complexes, and food courts is the backdrop for "Waydowntown," the latest offering from Canadian indie director Gary Burns ("The Suburbanators," "Kitchen Party"). Tom, however, is supposed to be the moral centre of the film who grows increasingly disgusted with his own desensitisation, but his perpetual distance never allows his crisis of conscience to be quite believable, making his eventual redemption ineffectual. Tom (Fabrizio Filippo), Sandra (Marya Delver), Curt (Gordon Curry), Randy (Tobias Godson) are four bored 20-something office mates who make a bet to see which one of them can remain the longest inside the hermetically sealed downtown core without ever venturing outside. www.exclaim.ca /common/display.php3?articleid=395   (9473 words)

HoustonChronicle.com Burns, whose wickedly amusing previous film, Kitchen Party, also dealt with repressed rage exploding in an ultrasanitized setting, has embellished Waydowntown with a fine technical sheen. Waydowntown is a smart, sardonic satire for that army of impeccably groomed yuppies you see each morning clacking grimly to work like troops of pod people left over from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Waydowntown is, among other things, a meditation on passive-aggression in the corporate workplace. www.chron.com /cs/CDA/movieprintstory.hts/ae/movies/reviews/1383324   (9473 words)

News&features - October 18, 2001 At the time, Wong was a graduate student at the San Francisco Art Institute and a leading player in the city’s cresting beatnik movement, so it was no surprise that he had snared an invitation to the most famous literary party of its time. When I began taking photos of him in his kitchen next to his art, he started goofing for the camera, making faces, looks that were not unlike the physiognomy of that mischievously grinning kid in the photo of the nearby Locke museum. Wong said his two favorites among the 28 he made over a 14-year span are Big Trouble in Little China, and Eat a Bowl of Tea, a film he did in 1989. www.newsreview.com /issues/sacto/2001-10-18/cover.asp   (4569 words)
