	USATODAY.com - Smart money's on family
		Hollywood, whose concept of family entertainment has evolved from tearjerkers such as National Velvet to costly adventure films such as National Treasure, is taking notice.
		Several wholesome family films are in theaters or are in development, including the documentary Paper Clips, about schoolchildren learning about the Holocaust, and the poignant boy-adventure saga I Am David — both in limited release — and the dog-buddy film Because of Winn-Dixie, which is due in February.
		These films aren't a threat to the big-budget popcorn PG-13 rated films that have long attracted the industry's demographic sweet spot: 12- to 29-year-old males, who account for 50% of overall ticket sales.

	Au Hasard Balthazar (Criterion Collection) DVD
		Balthazar is tied inextricably to a sad young girl named Marie, and their relationship is nothing remotely like "National Velvet" or "My Friend Flicka".
		Balthazar may be the subject by default, but most of the movie deals with the people who own him, who employ and mistreat him, who are present when he is moved from one station of life to another.
		Eventually, an ailing Balthazar is turned over to Gérard's accomplice, a career criminal suspected of murder, and begins a new life as a guide animal, then as a circus attraction (in a funny, surreal scene where he solves multiplication problems), before being sold at auction to a miserly, abusive merchant, who in turn abuses Marie.

	David Lynch - Blue Velvet - Post-modernism and Authorship
		Hayward, in 'French National Cinema', says "Post-modernity implies the rejection of history or, rather, the disappearance of a sense of history." Blue Velvet is very ambiguous as to its temporal setting; the locations and characters are from the 1950's, the stylistics are from the 1940's, the themes are from the 1980's.
		Blue Velvet could be pigeon-holed with these as they all dealt with middle class escapism and the darker side of contemporary life.
		Lynch describes Blue Velvet as a story about a guy "who lives in two worlds at the same time, one of which is pleasant, the other terrifying".

	Sleepy Hollow
		Christopher Walken, who plays the Headless Horseman, admits he is not a good horseman himself, so for some of his more difficult riding scenes, a mechanical horse (the same one that was actually ridden by Elizabeth Taylor in 1944's NATIONAL VELVET) was used.
		To create the decapitation effects in the film, each victim (aka actor) was cast in plaster from the shoulders up, then their likeness was recreated in the form of a severed head.
		The first two "Sleepy Hollow" films--both silent and based on Washington Irving's classic story--were both entitled THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and were made in 1908 and 1912.

	International Velvet (Bryan Forbes)
		A sequel to National Velvet, the film stars Nanette Newman as the grown-up Velvet (played by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1944 film), and Tatum O'Neal as her niece.
		No dull shadow of its famous predecessor, International Velvet is an exciting film in its own right, with a distinct tone and personality (Hopkins has a lot to do with this), and some very nimble work by Forbes behind the camera.
		Critics largely dismissed this 1978 movie despite the fact that it was directed by a serious filmmaker, Bryan Forbes (The L-Shaped Room, King Rat).
