	Cinsher Film Stills
		In the Untitled Film Stills there are no Cleopatras, no ladies on trains, no women of a certain age.
		Her film stills look and function just like the real ones—those 8-by-10-inch glossies designed to lure us into a drama we find all the more compelling because we know it is not real.
		For her the pop-culture image was not a subject (as it had been for Walker Evans) or raw material (as it had been for Andy Warhol) but a whole artistic vocabulary, ready-made.

	Arthurian Film
		The charges leveled against the film are generally that the lead roles were miscast, that the direction was ponderous, and that, at nearly three hours, the film was too long.
		Clearly, Zucker intends his film to be an Arthuriad for the 1990s, but the film fails to capture the spirit of the original legend or to make a case for its contemporary translation of the oft-told story of the Arthur-Lancelot-Guinevere love triangle.
		Donner's film, which was shelved by the studio for several years before being dumped for television release, is one of the silliest films ever made about the Arthurian legend.

	Spacesuited Women
		End scene where Sigourney slowly dons a spacesuit in the shuttle to kill the alien...

	Scared Straight! (1978): CAST - PopMatters Film Review
		These young men and women may have started down the wrong path, but they ultimately found their way back to "society." This happy ending, however, may be a little too optimistic.
		The original film's low production costs -- the participants were not mic-ed individually, and often it's difficult to hear what they're saying -- lend a decidedly filmstrip-like quality to the finished product.
		For example, neither film addresses concerns that the tactics employed by the Rahway State Prison's Lifer's Program may actually increase delinquent behavior in juveniles.

	The Big Sleep (1946)
		Although the film was released in mid-1946, it was actually filmed mostly in the fall of 1944 (about six months before Bacall and Bogart were married).
		It is a very complex, confusing, logic-defying whodunit with a quintessential private detective (Marlowe), false leads, unforgettable dialogue and wisecracks, raw-edged characters, sexy women (including the two daughters of a dying millionaire, a bookseller, and others), tough action, gunplay, a series of electrifying scenes, and screen violence.
		The commonly-seen version of this big-budgeted film included some of the toughest, most sexually-electric, innuendo-filled dialogue in film history between its two main leads, Bogart and Bacall (an off-screen romantic couple fulfilling their romance on-screen).

		Discusses the way in which women are perceived as dangerous in the films of Howard Hawks, with special reference to "Only angels have wings".
		Places film outside literary tradition and claims the music-related use of dialogue - esp. as practised by Howard Hawks - to be of greater importance than a reading of the script would imply.

	Hooray for Hollywood!
		Before addressing further the numerous differences in the Marlowe character of The Big Sleep, and the Marlowe of The Long Goodbye, it may be helpful to understand a little about the two actors assigned to the task of portraying him, as well as the star system itself.
		Cawelti, in fact, explains that these two films are “the two most remembered and perhaps the most memorable versions of a narrative formula that has been replicated in hundreds of novels, films, and television programs” (227).
		This fact is due largely to his similar performance in another classic film noir, The Maltese Falcon (1941), in which he portrays detective Sam Spade.

	St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: The Big Sleep
		Hawks' The Big Sleep (1946) is better realized than the Michael Winner version in 1978 which starred Robert Mitchum and is set not in California (where many hard-boiled novels and films are set, and from which they take their flavor), but in London of the 1970s.
		The plot of The Big Sleep is complex, leading Howard Hawks, the first and most successful of the filmmakers to adapt it for the movies, to say that he never did understand who killed one of the characters--and when he telegraphed Chandler for clarification, Chandler himself was unable to provide a definitive answer.
		Analyses of the adaptation of novels to films, however, often founder on arguments about the faithfulness of the adaptation.

	George Romero
		Romero’s films, it is implied, affirm the dignity and strength of women by representing them in “positive” cultural roles and by overturning the traditional binaries of passive and active, foolish and intelligent.
		In the opening scene of George Romero’s 1978 film Martin, a teenage sexual psychopath kills and drinks the blood of a young woman in her sleeper train compartment during a struggle that is protracted, messy and far from one-sided.
		Once inside the house and safely in the care of the film’s black hero, Ben (Duane Jones), Barbra (Judith O’Dea) is quickly reduced to helpless catatonia.

	Anatomy of a Kidnapping: Bruno Barreto's Four Days in September (Film Journal International, January 1998)
		is an unusual film for Barreto whose previous work includes the classic Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands (1978), as well as Gabriella (1983), The Story of Fausta (1988), A Show of Force (1990) and seven other feature films, most of them stories about women.
		The film is very loosely based on a memoir (O que e isso, companheiro?, not yet translated into English) by Fernando Gabeira, one of the kidnappers, who is now a liberal politician in Brazil.
		Although this film includes a memorable female character -- Maria, played by the talented Fernanda Torres -- the story is told from the perspective of many characters who represent three distinctly different points of view.

	Review: Dawn of the Dead (2004)
		As zombie films go, this one is a small step beneath Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, which was darker and creepier, but it's still a respectable effort.
		One of the things that annoyed me about the original Dawn of the Dead - and it's a seeming requirement of horror films - is the flagrant stupidity exhibited by the characters.
		The 1978 movie left open the possibility that the outbreak was confined to a geographical area.

	Speakers Platform Speakers Bureau: Shohreh Aghdashloo, Speaker On: Celebrity, Arts / Music / Drama, Women's Issues
		Eventually moving to Los Angeles with her second husband, a playwright, Aghdashloo has been socially active in raising awareness of women’s issues, especially in Iran, where the Islamic government has repressed women for decades.
		Her powerless character in the film is a struggle familiar to Aghdashloo, who made her screen debut in celebrated director Abbas Kiarostami’s 1977 film The Report — a movie that remains banned in Iran.
		The tragic film revolves around a lower-middle-class Iranian immigrant family in conflict with a down-and-out young American woman; Aghdashloo provides the delicate fulcrum on which the hostility of House of Sand and Fog is balanced.

	Martin (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Martin is a 1976 horror film from director George A. Romero in which John Amplas stars as the title character, who sedates women with a syringe full of narcotics and then slices their wrists with a razor blade so he can drink their blood.
		The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1977 and was released in US cinemas on 7 July 1978.
		The tone of the film is sad and filled with longing and unfulfilled desire--rather different for the traditional vampire movie, cliches of which are parodied in Martin's dreams and in the mock-silent-film scene where Martin terrorises Cuda in a children's playground.
