	Mystery film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mystery film is a sub-genre of the more general category of crime film.
		The successful mystery film often conceals the identity of the perpetrator until late in the story, then adds an element of suspense during the apprehension of the suspect.
		Among the notable mystery detective films of this period were In the Heat of the Night (1967), Bullitt (1968), Klute (1971) and Chinatown (1974).

	Detective-Mystery Films
		This film type blossomed as a full film category in the talking films of the 1930s, often borrowing from characters in popular literature.
		One of the earliest Holmes films was Albert Parker's silent 9-reeler Sherlock Holmes (1922) with John Barrymore.
		Eight films (of the nine films) in the 15-year long series were from RKO, with one entry from Republic in 1943.

	Schulers Books (The Film Mystery - 1/51)
		It was not that the tragic end of a film star whose work I had learned to love was not horrible to me, but rather because, for once, I thought Kennedy actually confronted a situation where his knowledge of a given angle of life was hardly sufficient for his usual analysis of the facts involved.
		Because the film world had fascinated me always I had made a point of being posted on its people and their activities.
		Just before the break-up of General Film he had become many times a millionaire and it was then that he had sent a wave of laughter over the entire country by an actual cable to William Shakespeare, address London, asking for all screen rights to the plays written by that gentleman.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: MYSTERY MEN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Welcome to the colorful, tongue-in-cheek world of "Mystery Men," a comic book import that is a prime example of style of substance.
		A lot of effort has gone into making the comic book page come alive (the film is a production designer and visual effects artist wet dream), yet most of the situations and dialogue are as flat as the printed page.
		The production design is convincing, and so are the film's numerous visual and special effects, even though they tend to get in the way.

	Film: Mystery, Alaska (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Basically a David-and-Goliath tale, the story pits a shinny-playing group of amateurs from the small town of Mystery against fatcat professionals from the big city.
		Hockey is such an important part of this "witch-tit cold" town that everyone in it is defined in relation to the weekly game, a four-on-four contest whose participants are chosen by three town elders.
		Mystery exists in an idyllic Frank Capra time warp.

	Mystery of the Nile
		“Mystery of the Nile is the latest Omnimax film adventure to transport its viewers to a dramatic, dangerous and compelling landscape that most will never see in person….It’s a journey that’s fascinating on various levels, from the historical and sociological aspects to breathtaking scenery and human determination and courage.
		“Mystery of the Nile is a startling record of the adventurers’ progress, setbacks and encounters with natives and antiquities…[The film] includes several dazzling sequences.
		Mystery of the Nile is as impressive as filmmaker Greg MacGillivray’s Oscar-nominated Dolphins and The Living Sea.

	Mystery, Suspense & Film Noir
		Of course, not all mystery and supsense movies are descended from the bleak worldview of the hardboiled writers, but the films that ARE descended from hardboiled constitute their own sub-genre: Film Noir.
		This is a grouping of films that collectively influence the rest of cinema more than just about any other type of movie--out of all proportion to their numbers or their box office success.
		The poet laureate of the Mystery and Suspense movie is Alfred Hitchock, a director whose films are suffused with such a darkness of heart and are mounted with such a mastery of cinematic technique that his name has become an adjective.

	Film Blather: Mystery, Alaska
		Hard to say, but while audiences seem to be tired of sports movies of late, a hockey film or two is not unwelcome, provided it doesn't have the words "Mighty Ducks" in the title.
		The players' union files a grievance demanding that the arrangement be cancelled, and Mystery sends their lawyer (Maury Chaykin) to represent the town and hopefully maintain what dignity they have left.
		Mystery, Alaska is not only full of cliches, it clings to them as if they were lifeblood.

	Magical Mystery Tour (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Upon its initial showing, the film was poorly received by critics and audiences, but is now considered somewhat of a cult classic.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Mystery, Alaska"
		Three films which kept resonating in my mind as I watched this small but effective film, were the underdog done good flick, RUDY, the character driven small town tale, BEAUTIFUL GIRLS (9/10), and the bigger budgeted FOR LOVE OF THE GAME (7/10).
		I enjoyed all of the performances in the film, except for the Burt Reynolds character who seemed a little too narrowly drawn for my taste, but kudos to Russell Crowe and the rest of the gang for portraying these folks as real human beings, instead of stick figures from the minds of Hollywood execs.
		Shot entirely in Alberta, Canada, this film apparently led to at least one barroom brawl when actor Russell Crowe was alleged to have gotten himself into such an altercation during the filming months of this movie.

	Film & TV: Mystery Men (Austin Chronicle . 08-09-99)
		Any film that pairs comic master Stiller with his ex-paramour Garofalo is already golden in my book, regardless, but Usher's casting right on down the line is near-perfect, making this one of the most riotous ensemble comedies out there this summer.
		And never mind if you're perhaps not as schooled in the finer points of superhero comedics -- Mystery Men takes potshots at everything from highbrow consumerist gags to lowbrow fart jokes with gleeful abandon, savaging everything in its path.
		Usher's film, from a script by Neil Cuthbert, skewers the ridiculous nature of the superhero genre with savage aplomb -- from set design to score to quirky acting chops (transvestite Brit comedian Izzard plays Frankenstein's henchman).

		Not too sure of 'the film mystery' but this visit to Mrs Smith' "it's the back door for us!" (snicker) and begging her not to dry her dishes.
		We then gasp as she peels off the film of the glass, the narrator quickly chimes in and says this is how they do it in the movies.
		There's an abrupt association between soap film and adhesive tape film: a bizarre red herring with many possible meanings: other advertisers use cheap tricks to make a glass seem clean, but we use jump cuts and fades to accomplish the same thing.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Mystery, Alaska
		"Mystery, Alaska," the tale of an icy, isolated burg whose denizens are afflicted with an obsession-like ardor for hockey, has quirk written all over its high-concept plot.
		The quaintness and beauty of "Mystery" is nicely established, with shots of a small town forever blanketed with the snow that drapes over a nearby majestic mountain range (the Alberta Rockies subbing for Alaska).
		Then it is on to the perfunctory exposition, as "Mystery's" types and stereotypes parade across the screen.

		It was Millard who had written her first great Continent success, who had developed the peculiar type of story best suited for her, back in the early days of the one reel and General Film.
		It is commonly known in picture circles that an actress who screens well, even if she is only a moderately good artist, can be made a star with one or two or three good stories and that, conversely, a star may be ruined by a succession of badly written or badly produced vehicles.
		The receipts at the box office whenever her films were shown probably delighted both Manton and Stella herself.

	FILM REVIEW: Mystery, Alaska -- A Barren Wasteland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The R rating is certainly deserved by this movie (because of its gross-out aspects), and the film could have been simultaneously improved in content and cohesiveness if it was just edited with more thoughtfulness.
		Many of the characters who have bit parts in the movie -- Beth Littleford as a stuffy reporter whose fake nose freezes the second she steps into the Alaskan air and Mike Meyers as a temperamental sports correspondent -- are amusing, almost parodying the movie’s self-importance.
		Unfortunately, this is just another subplot and his intensity comes across as hollow; one actor cannot carry the entire emotional weight of a movie.

	Orlando Weekly - Film Review - Mystery Men
		The sprightly action comedy "Mystery Men", written by Neil Cuthbert and directed by Kinka Usher, is a self-aware superhero story.
		Champion City's official protector, Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), is a media hungry opportunist whose flashy costume is riddled with more advertising patches than a race-car driver and always makes sure the TV cameras are around to witness his derring-do.
		Perhaps accustomed to grabbing the attention of channel-flippers, he doesn't always trust the material or "Mystery Men's" greatest resource -- its terrific actors -- who have goofy charm to spare and really know how to put the punch in punchlines.

		Casanova is abetted by the Disco Boys, who lurk in their lair to the accompaniment of the Bee Gees and manage to mimic John Travolta's famous "Saturday Night Fever" pose when they go into the fray.
		And the look of "Mystery Men," in which businesses like wholesale fish and tire shops are well represented, is droll yet overly cluttered.
