	LARVAE \| MOVIES
		If the movie was actually built on the premise that the casino-owner that the crew ripped off in the first movie was going to kill everyone, and if there had ever been a moment where I felt like someone might get shot up as a warning, maybe the movie might have carried some weight.
		Part of the fun of the movie is figuring out who gets the upper hand, or who is ahead of whom in any given situation, but the focus is always on how people deal with relationships and the consequences of their actions in a reality where they have 'do-overs'.
		With a movie like this though, it's a little more difficult to snare people in with characters they don't know, a director who has never made a film before, and a story that is essentially a slice-of-life kind of tale.

		The "butterfly" effect from much of the misconduct described in Stich's books--starting from the corruption he first reveals in Unfriendly Skies, is most vividly revealed in the hijackings of 9/11, the 3,000 deaths, and the relationship of these events to the invasion of Iraq and other catastrophic events.
		Partial list of government insiders who provided former federal air safety inspector Rodney Stich with information and documentation of corrupt, criminal, and subversive activities implicating people holding key positions in government.
		List of letters sent to other people and groups that had a moral and legal responsibility to act on the information of criminal activities and decided instead to cover-up (i.e., obstruct justice)..

		His movies are that of a simple morality tale-- good versus evil, virtue over vice-- where he woos and wins the girl's heart, defeats the bad guys, saves the community, gets rich, and lives happily ever after.
		Her filmography, for the most part, is a real stinker, so full of clunky failures that Madonna ensures herself a place in the history of bad cinema.
		The movie is visually stunning-- the picture quality is so pristine, without the grain, specks and dirt that can often mar a film.

		The movie fits into what you might call the "scientific progress goes bonk" category, agreeing with Gibbon, who said history is nothing but the record of human folly and misfortune.
		Whenever movie people are attacked for their expressions, they, like anyone else, immediately fold the First Amendment around themselves as a cloak.
		If Hollywood decides that what we really want are movies about the disembowellment of five year old girls, and we buy enough tickets to cause Hollywood to make more of the same, the fact that a financial success is occurring should not obscure the fact that something terrible is happening at the same time.

		The American Movie Classics channel (home of pan and scan features and commercial interruptions) will be airing a program well worth watching this October when they premiere a new documentary in their AMC Project series: HOLLYWOOD AND THE HOLOCAUST".
		As for the list, it, as always, is certainly extremely debatable (Superman at #26 out of 50--give me a break!), but at least it'll get movie fans talking and reminiscing about some of their favorite films.
		In the tradition of the American Film Institute's previous annual "best of film" lists, AFI is holding its sixth annual list (and television special) in honor of those movie icons who, although always at odds with one another, never cease to thrill and chill us with their daring and dastardly acts.

	The Celluloid Pirate - Hollywood's strange fascination with buccaneers. By Bryan Curtis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		The surprise is not that Pirates is a decent movie, but that it's a decent movie about pirates.
		Yet these are minor failures compared to the two films that should have sunk the genre for good: Spielberg's Hook (1991) and Cutthroat Island.
		It seems the only way to make a successful pirate movie these days is to make something that isn't really a pirate movie at all.

	Journalism Movies Page by Paul E. Schindler, Jr.
		My favorite movie is "The Paper" with Michael Keaton, which I think is the most realistic portrayal of modern journalism, except, of course, for the fantastic parts they had to add for Hollywood (the columnist with the gun, the button that stops the presses).
		This movie is one of the few journalism films in history that had a perceptible effect, both on the field of journalism and the public perception of journalists.
		In fact, this movie raises a number of ethical questions, including, but not limited to, issues surrounding keeping your word to a source, protecting a source, when corporate can overrule the news division, when you quit on principle and when you continue to work from the inside for change.

		Having gone through the list Dr. Radecki supplies with the study, the author of this report has determined there are, in fact, only 725 books on the list because some books appear on the list in two or more years.
		In yet other case listings, the fact that a person was reported to have played D&D, as seen above in the Sean Hughes case, is enough to make his death related to the game, even though the case has not be solved or closed by the police.

	rediff.com, Movies: Mohanlal's Company's hero in Kerala
		Extraordinary for a Hindi film, especially when many of the vernacular Malayalam movies starring Mohalal and other superstars like Mammootty, Suresh Gopi and Jayaram have been floundering at the box-office in recent months.
		Mayalalam directors' concern is understandable, considering that many recent releases of superstars like Mohanlal, Mammootty and Suresh Gopi have flopped at the box-office.
		In the last two years, most films of these actors have been miserable failures, which has now prompted directors and producers to scout for new talents.
