	Cinema of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Toronto International Film Festival is considered one of the most important events in North American film, showcasing both Canadian talent and Hollywood films.
		Although Canadian films have often received critical praise, and the National Film Board has won more Academy Awards than almost any other institution (for both their animation and documentary work), it is almost a national joke that Canadian films fail to make back their production costs at the box office.
		This is not necessarily connected to reality, as many good films have been made in Canada and many bad ones have been made in Hollywood, but the idea nevertheless presents a significant hurdle to Canadian filmmakers seeking to build an audience for their work.

	Film Score September 2001 - The Madman and His Muse
		Together, Badalamenti and Lynch seemed to have invented their own version of the film soundtrack, a musical purgatory where every kind of style and sound floats about in a beautiful state of dread, all trying to be heard at once-a soundscape that's nothing less than hypnotic.
		While the film winds its way through L.A.'s boulevard of broken (and very bad) dreams, the music veers from nearly motionless string dread to noir jazz and audio feedback, the rhythms building to an explosion of infinite darkness.
		I always tell a director before he dubs the film, "No one can leave the theater humming a sound effect." I really believe that David feels that music is the voice of his concepts.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MEATBALLS
		MEATBALLS is framed at approximately 1.85:1 and the transfer is far better than my vague recollections of the film’s crummy theatrical presentation.
		Colors are muted throughout the presentation, which is something else that I'll attribute to the age of this low budget film.
		MEATBALLS sports a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack, which offers the film in stereo- a genuine upgrade from the film’s original theatrical monaural.

		One Thursday evening, when Mom was making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, I climbed up to the counter to assist her.
		The meatballs were placed on a sheet of paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
		As soon as the meatballs hit the floor she came running in eyes opened wide.

	Meatballs Part II
		This 1984 sequel to the original film that starred Bill Murray revolves around a border-line juvenile delinquent nick-named Flash (John Mengatti) who is given the choice of being a counselor in training at Camp Sasquatch or going to reform school.
		The film's dialogue and story line is filled with sexual innuendos, adolescent genitalia humor, and the usual co-ed camp pranks and romances.
		The film is rated PG but should be PG-13 due to the excessive sexual innuendo, crude jokes, and cross dressing implications.

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Meatballs"
		Yes, I am sure that there are some of you that are willing to defend the 70s to the death, but even die-hard fans of polyester and disco would be more than hesitant to stick up for ultra-cheesy folk songs (that unfortunately permeate the soundtrack) and men wearing afros.
		Most of Meatballs consists of small tidbits of camp life, from campers playing sports to the CITs abusing their power recklessly.
		Meatballs was followed by three sequels, none of which starred Bill Murray.

		He's not funny at all these days, but back in the 70s he was the funniest person in the entertainment industry, and in "Meatballs" he is at the top of his game.
		Murray's interactions with the boy are so good that I used excerpts from the film for a final exam on basic counseling I taught at a graduate school - the students had to identify the techniques used by Tripper and suggest alternatives.
		Beyond all that, this is a film of good-natured humor that has sympathy for its characters.

		MEATBALLS 4 is rated R for explicit language, female nudity, and adult situations.
		This film gives us all the common camp film elements that we have seen many times before, except they seemed better before; maybe because the films were interesting.
		With the MEATBALLS series, it looks like the people making them are saying, "Ya that last one was bad, but I bet I can make one that is worse that people will still waste their money to go see.

		As the film unfolds, we meet intolerant rabbis, narrow-minded family members, and abandoned gays and lesbians who are all struggling to solve an inscrutable dilemma: how it is possible to remain true to familiar, age-old traditions and values and simultaneously be true to oneself.
		Half way through the film, however, I noticed that Tom's father was the director of Camp Interlocken, and that Kaleil sprinkled his language with f-words and a couple of Yiddish words.
		The film traces the misadventures of buddies J.D. (Black) and Wayne (Zahn), who begin to suspect that their best friend, Darren Silverman (Biggs), is going to allow himself to be badgered into marrying Judith (Peet), a woman he doesn't love.

	Order Sons of Italy in America
		A division of The Walt Disney Company, Touchstone's new film is a comedy spoof that stereotypically portrays Italian-Americans as organized crime figures and buffoons and demeans women.
		The film is equally defamatory toward the handicapped, disfigured persons, and the Catholic Church.
		The poster that is used to advertise this motion picture is objectionable in that it shows spaghetti and meatballs and a gun, clearly sending forth a message that all Italian Americans are criminals," Bianchi said.

		The meatballs are stupendous: creamy, beefy, almost as finely textured as pâté.
		I tend to prefer meatballs that use more than one meat, but these (all-beef, enriched with egg) are very good.
		The veal ($14) was nowhere near the glorious train wreck I remembered from Rocky Lee, but a lighter, elegant variation: a lightly breaded cutlet with a smear of tomato and a nice lid of chewy cheese.

		Place the meatballs on baking sheets or plates that you have lined with clingfilm, and put in the fridge as you finish them.
		Use about a third of the meatballs in their sauce to toss the cooked, drained pasta in and then pour the rest of them over the scantly sauced ribbons in the bowl.

		The film is corny, predictable, and manipulative to the point that you feel like there’s electrodes attached from the screen to your brain, but, by the end of this film, I’ll be damned if I didn’t feel genuine affection for it and Lizzie in particular.
		Having seen the film, I can only assume that the TV show is just like the film: corny, light, predictable and gimmicky.
		Practically all of the film’s charm comes from Duff who’s really quite fetching in the film with her dreamy eyes and winning smile.

		Curiously, the charges of "silencing" and "intimidation" first made waves when it was learned that the accusing students made their case on camera.
		None of the targeted professors were even allowed a chance to rebut the charges on the film.
		More damning than the poverty and hollowness of the film, however, is the fact that it was even produced.

	1981: Hitting the Road
		When the Film Commission agreed to assist with the funding of Goodbye Pork Pie, the film was described as New Zealand’s Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
		Films playing in local cinemas that year included Friday the 13th (1980), Doctor Zhivago (1965) and Life of Brian (1979) and ticket prices to see them in a city like Auckland would have cost an average of $2.40.
		Always present in some form, the country’s film industry was now becoming more structured and formalised, primarily due to the establishment of the New Zealand Film Commission in 1978.

		If each film has the ability, as Magder states, "to explore the manifold and contradictory ways in which we exist as social beings in our every day lives", there is still much to be learned from an analysis of a film as a social document in and of itself.
		Shebib asserted that the young Canadian feature film industry was premature in expecting the film community to immediately adhere to, or expect any "marketable" Canadian style which had not yet had the chance to first, develop, and second, to obtain a viewership and viewing practices.
		When individual films are not recognized as producers of meaning in and of themselves, and instead are seen as predetermined representations of a "movement" in national cinema, their ability to produce meaning and their ability to "mean" in the future are limited.

	BBC NEWS \| Entertainment \| Film \| Bill Murray finds peculiar niche
		He has starred in plenty of zany films, but his humour is arguably funnier - and more touching - when it is understated.
		His first film roles were the wacky teen-style movies that were fun but never taken seriously - such as Meatballs, Caddyshack and Stripes.
		Slowly returning to the screen in films like Little Shop of Horrors, Scrooged and Ghostbusters II, he finally found a project that utilised the range of both his comic talent and acting depth.

		Meatballs is crass and adolescent — oh, Spaz; oh, girl wrestling — but it’s not actually that dumb.
		Watching an unbreakable man slowly break in an unforgiving prison (“What we have here is a failure to communicate…”), sucked of life by the southern heat, is as painful as a gradual, reddening sunburn.
		Made in the John Hughes era of too-clever teens sassing and sexing, writer-director Sandy Wilson’s soft, autobiographical love letter treats the arrival of a hunky American in a small Okanagan Valley town with nothing less than girlish rapture.

		Some films are dumb, some really scrape the bottom of the barrel, but this not only scrapes through, but also starts tunnelling down into the ground on the other side.
		This film is so torpid one can’t even reach for the anger reserved for genuinely mind-insulting films.
		The film was directed by Ken Wiederhorn, a minor director who once made the decent Nazi zombie effort Shock Waves (1975) (which in can be seen screening as the camp’s film).

	The DVD Journal: The Godfather DVD Collection
		What is romanticized in the first film, and dismantled in the second, is not the crime nor the violence, but how challenging it is, on the busy and burgeoning and impersonal frontier of growing America, for a man to protect and provide for his family.
		It's remarkable to notice that, for all their excitement and violence, these two films are stunningly quiet and thoughtful, as are leading men Brando and Pacino — both for whom silence itself is a threatening force of nature.
		This lack of dynamic inner-conflict in the film's focal character is a nail in its heart from which it cannot and does not recover.

		Cannibal girls and his second film, Shivers directed by David Cronenberg,, were so internationally well received that Ivan found himself producing Animal House in 1978 and as director of the now classic teenage film, Meatballs in 1979.

		The film is a throw-back movie, reminiscent of the romantic comedies from Hollywood in the late 1940's and early 1950's and it worked, particularly the role played by Heche.
