Quebec films, filmmakers dominate Genies Francophones grab spotlight for movies largely unseen by English Canada - workopolis.com The bitter irony of the night is that English Canada's most ardent film buffs have likely never heard -- let alone seen -- many of the francophone winners, which are hugely popular in Quebec but virtually ignored in the rest of Canada. Quebec films, filmmakers dominate Genies Francophones grab spotlight for movies largely unseen by English Canada - workopolis.com The steady stream of victorious francophones onto the stage at Toronto's Metro Convention Centre emphasized the ever-widening gulf between Quebec's booming film industry and its struggling English-Canadian counterpart. vancouverplus.workopolis.com /servlet/Content/fasttrack/20050322/GENIES22?gateway=vancouverplus   (593 words)

Lucky Number 7 for "Titanic" - Feb 01, 1998 - E! Online News Other debuting movies making the Top 10 list were Michael Keaton's thriller Desperate Measures ($5.8 million in sixth) and the sci-fi Deep Rising ($4.6 million in eighth). This mammoth sum pushes Titanic past the movie which blew up the White House, Independence Day, in the ranks of best ever North American grosses and analysts now think it may threaten the top two movies on that list, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial ($399.8 million) and Star Wars ($461 million.). According to Blaise Noto, spokesman for Paramount Pictures (which is releasing the movie domestically), the continued interest is sparked by repeat business from women ga-ga over the film's romance between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. www.eonline.com /News/Items/0,1,2473,00.html   (381 words)

Liam Neeson Fansite The historical thriller, based on a true story, is set in the early 1960s and tells of the Russian submarine K-19, whose captain (played by Ford) led efforts to rescue the vessel from nuclear meltdown. Producers of K-19: The Widowmaker, a movie from Intermedia Films International (The Wedding Planner), want to shoot a few scenes on a frozen lake -- and naturally they thought of Winnipeg, or at least Lake Winnipeg. Most of the movie is being shot in Russia and Halifax. www.liamneeson-fansite.com /articlek19015.htm   (435 words)

Dirty Harry (1971) This brings us slightly past the midpoint of the film, and just to the point where it accelerates into a first-rate action thriller. The film is highly regarded for Eastwood's charismatic performance, for the boldness of the Dirty Harry character, and for the several spaghetti-western quotes uttered by Eastwood. Eastwood plays the same sort of character he typically plays - a likable tough guy with a powerful sense of justice and ice for blood. www.imdb.com /title/tt0066999   (873 words)

DVD Talk Forum - The Definitive list of Region 2 Italian Dvds with English subtitles Non Ho Sonno is listed as a thriller not a horror film at dvdland.it. 06-29-03 10:28 PM If it matters to you, you've got a couple of other horror movies in your main list. Of course it was shot in English, so the English language 5.1 track is preferable anyway, but the subs are a huge help in certain spots. www.dvdtalk.com /forum/printthread.php?t=301925   (695 words)

Thriller.html After Hitchcock's classic films of the 1950s, his films were wildly uneven, although he produced the shocking and engrossing thriller Psycho (1960) with the classic set piece (the 'shower scene') and the suspenseful and strangely terrifying The Birds (1963) about a invasion of birds in a N. California coastal town. AFI's list of the 100 Most Thrilling Films are presented by this site. In Hitchcock's films, the main character(s) usually committed a crime or was caught as a victim of circumstance, from which there was the inevitable life and death chase concluding with a showdown at a familiar landmark (for example, London's Albert Hall, the Statue of Liberty, or Mount Rushmore). web.ics.purdue.edu /~kayoung/kayoung/Project/Thriller.html   (1856 words)

Chinese Movies In the past decade mainland filmmakers have produced or co-produced with Hong Kong sponsors dozens of these fast-action movies from " Shaolin Temple" and" Chivalrous 13th Sister" in the early 1980s to more recent ones like" The Magic Whip"," Golden Dart King" and" Grave Robbers." Thriller films are also becoming great favorites. The list includes all the major films that have won international or national awards in the past four decades as well as classics from the 1920s to 1940s. The opera films gave way to modern drama films in the '30s and '40s, made by second generation artists as Yuan Muzhi and Tang Xiaodan, all former stage directors. www.shme.com /culture/film/movie.htm   (1856 words)

Thomas Hibbs on Children's Movies on National Review Online A final oddity in the BFI list is the relative absence of British films, especially when one considers how many solid British films have been based on superb British dramas and novels, from Shakespeare to Austen and beyond. A number of the films, for example, The Bicycle Thief and The 400 Blows, would likely make any list of, say, top 100 international films, but it's not clear these are the best pedagogical films for children. Last summer, the BFI put out a top-ten (and then 50) list that includes a Danish film (Show Me Love, released in some countries as F***ing Amal) featuring experimental lesbian teen sex and an American noir thriller (The Night of the Hunter) about children fleeing a murderous, psychotic preacher. www.nationalreview.com /hibbs/hibbs200512290823.asp   (1237 words)

The IFLS Top 100 Funniest Movies But if I was to make a Top 100 funniest films list by myself, it would be made up entirely of spring break movies. You can tell when a movie is a thriller because all the women have their giant boobs crammed inside tiny shirts, and when they have sex, they keep their panties on and block their lover's view of their nipples with a bed sheet or an elbow. A lot of the choices on the improved list may not officially be categorized as comedies, but that's not our fault. www.seanbaby.com /ifls   (894 words)

slant // magazine forums - No Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, TLC?! (No serious cinephille takes any list by AFI seriously, but any serious cinephille would be foolish to think that there aren't some good films on these lists.) Madge's videos and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" didn't make the list because they're popular; they made the list because they're good (there's deep meaning to their aesthetics). I feel like I've explained the absence of "Waterfalls" a million times already, but here goes: I like "Waterfalls" and it was in contention but compromises were made (I'm not the only one who created the list) and the video just simply didn't make the cut. Just because someone says they want to present a list that's an alternative doesn't mean that said alternative won't include selections that are more "populist" in nature. www.slantmagazine.com /forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=157   (1316 words)

deseretnews.com - Movie review: 187 Deseret Morning News Web edition The genre actually began and peaked with 1955's "The Blackboard Jungle," but is currently enjoying a renaissance, due to films like "Stand and Deliver" and "Dangerous Minds." But less-original creations like the thriller "The Substitute" and the unfunny parody "High School High" offer proof that it may be tapped out permanently. Add "urban school drama" to the quickly growing list of movie genres that should be temporarily retired, if not permanently put to sleep. To his credit, Jackson almost saves the movie single-handedly, and for that — if not the remainder of his work — he deserves more than just one chance in a starring role. deseretnews.com /movies/view/1,1257,3,00.html   (1316 words)

CHUD.com - Cinematic Happenings Under Development Lists like these are tricky, because there's always the desire to provide something that will please the casual film fans as well as the snooty highbrow cult, but at the end of the day it's all about striking the balance between the films that work on every level for yourself. Michael Mann is officially my favorite filmmaker now, and its his relaxed and honest approach to the high concept thriller genre that seals it for me. Shot on digital video and set almost exclusively to the confines of a taxi cab, his film is as good at quiet conversations as it is at gunplay. I expected a bit of light entertainment and what I got was a film that lives in my all-time list of great horror flicks that bend the rules. www.chud.com /news/962   (314 words)

DVD Savant Review: The Outer Limits: The Original Series, Volume 1 Horn's episode, along with a later Harlan Ellison, is often cited as the source of the concepts for the Terminator films. Looking at the long list of titles, I can't help but feel that MGM would have done better splitting the season in half, with perhaps six episodes per disc instead of eight. Thriller, The Twilight Zone and The Alfred Hitchcock Show had earlier been deemed too adult, weird or scary for Savant ever since I'd had nightmares after seeing an episode of One Step Beyond. www.dvdtalk.com /dvdsavant/s581outer.html   (314 words)

Dan Heller's Photos/Pictures of Movie Plot Twists: An Analysis While movie audiences are filling theaters and movie rentals houses to watch suspense films for the fun-filled about-face turn-around at the end, the method that the filmmakers are using to tickle the audience is based on a short-sighted formula that may not have legs if not done more carefully. He spends the movie in search of the meaning of life, and as aliens land on Earth to threaten our very existence, his true faith is put to the test. That's fun, but the movie implies, if not only by screen time, that the "main character" is one of the personalities of the film that seems to care more about solving the mystery than the other characters do. www.danheller.com /Movies/plot-twists.html   (1523 words)
