	Australian Horror Films List
		Not a horror film, but in its theme of small-town suspicion and its depiction of the hounding of a foriegn 'outsider', the Pole, for an axe murder he didn't commit, it is confronting and suspenseful.
		The film's episodic structure doesn't generate much tension -- the film is intended more as a character study and an exploration of the powerlessness people feel when faced with the threat of nuclear destruction.
		Based on the concept of a pair of glasses which shows the wearer things seen by their previous owner, who is dead.

	Lesbian Film List (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		One of the most important lesbian films made in the '80s, this science fiction tale of feminist activism and "women's empowerment from the underground" is set in an imagined future ten years after a socialist revolution that leaves the repressive patriarchal power structure intact.
		This film is emphatically not about a family being ripped apart, but about a self-centered philanderer's discovery of the true nature of love and his subsequent metamorphosis as he (Chabat) and his wife (Abril) struggle to construct a new, more satisfying type of family.
		The film is greatly abetted by the superb performances of the sterling cast-- Micheline Presle as the kindly mother superior, Liselotte Pulver as a lesbian nun and Anna Karina, Godard's muse and then wife, in the title role.

	News from Agape Press
		Most of the films that debuted last year are now available on DVD and contain great illustrations that can be brought into the Sunday school classroom, Bible Study session, or the sanctuary.
		The film is sure to contain elements that can lead to a discussion of friendship evangelism, and the need to seek out the lost rather than waiting for them to recognize their problems and bring themselves to church.
		These are films that generate anticipation, and therefore serve as a barometer of what interests a sizable segment of our culture.

		While there are plenty of encyclopedic lists of films, this compulsively readable book of 100 essays-most written expressly for this volume-flags the best of the best as chosen by a consensus of the National Society of Film Critics.
		The Society has made its selections based on a film's intrinsic merits, its role in the development of the motion-picture art, and its impact on culture and society.
		Each film is alloted about three pages of commentary that deals with the origins of the film, why critics love it, why it has endeared itself to the general public, what is so significant about it in the context of film history.

	TIME Best & Worst 2001 -- Cinema
		Bleakly funny, his film is a deeply unsettling portrait of dangerous, beautiful Mexico City and of the human nature that shares its traits.
		It has a painter's acute eye for beauty within horror: the gorgeous colors of the burkas that imprison Afghan women; the handsome face of a child in a Taliban school as he expertly assembles a Kalashnikov rifle; the vision of one-legged men scrambling to retrieve prostheses dropped in parachutes from a plane.
		The best of a new bunch of dark, sometimes explicit French films about sex is Catherine Breillat's fable of two sisters, 12 and 15, who are rivals and comrades.

	KING ARTHUR FOREVER--The Arthurian Comics Discusson List--The Medieval Comics Project, Part 1 (MEDIEVALISM) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Comics by their very nature are a collaborative medium with the finished product reflecting the work and input of many creative artists.
		However, for the purposes of this hand list to medieval-themed comics, I have chosen to focus on the contributions by writers (wr.), pencilers (pen.), inkers (ink.), and artists (art.), a category used when the functions of penciler and inker are combined.
		A mixture of the comics medium and illustrated narrative, this abridged and bowdlerized adaptation of A Connecticut Yankee includes all of the major episodes from Twain’s narrative but excises his satire of nineteenth-century America and most of his critiques aimed at the church and the English.

	CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The films of Sidney Lumet tend to fall on the gritty and overlooked side of the Hollywood equation.
		This film is no exception and with a cast of Hollywood’s finest character actors like Andy Garcia, Ian Holm, James Gandolfini, and Richard Dreyfus the pieces are all in place for a fine, engaging crime flick.
		Loosely based on the Ted Hughes poem, it’s the story of Hogarth, and the adventures he has with a giant space robot which falls to earth near his town in the 1950s.

		The 17 films were accepted as eligible to compete by the executive committee of the Short Films and Feature Animation branch of the Academy, which recommended to the board of governors that the Award be given for this year.
		Films submitted in the Best Animated Feature category also may qualify for Academy Awards in other areas, including Best Picture, provided they meet the rules criteria governing those categories.
		The Acamdey Awards should really be based on the artistic merits of the films, not whether they do well in the box office, not whether the film is "traditional" or not.

	Animated Films
		Animation, fairy tales, and stop-motion films often appeal to children, but it would marginalize animations to view them only as "children's entertainment." Animated films are often directed to, or appeal most to children, but easily can be enjoyed by all.
		The predecessor of early animation was the newspaper comic strips of the 1890s.
		Historically and technically, the first short, animated film (in other words, the first fully-animated film ever made) was Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906) by newspaper cartoonist J. Stuart Blackton, one of the co-founders of the Vitagraph Company.

	The 10 best films of 2004 - Academy Awards® - MSNBC.com
		Using carefully chosen clips from the earlier film, Linklater has created a brilliant, rueful dramatization of the idea that youth is wasted on the young.
		The Brooklyn-based Marston made his feature film debut by writing and directing this compelling drama about a young Colombian woman who is so frustrated with her cramped existence that she becomes a drug “mule,” swallowing pellets of heroin and hoping they won’t burst and poison her before she arrives at her New York destination.
		But the darkly comic performances by Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church are so accomplished, and their understanding of the friendship so complex, that you can’t help wanting to go along for the ride.

		Enid in the comic is a wonderful character and I've fallen in love with many Enids over the years; but to my mind, she's a sort of awkwardly adorable, cute-not-hot girl.
		The Pekar of the comics is a wise noble little-man type, while the Pekar of the movie is a character-actor type thrust into the spotlight.

		but in a modern action film, the violence is so amplified by the damned CGI and the sondtrack that it simply cannot stand for anything but itself...
		In a comic you know an artist has sat down and drawn it exactly that way, there’s a fetishistic sense to the detail that ‘naturalised’ filming just blunts which sums up their adolescent attitudes.
