Review: 54 Too often, the film is more like a soundtrack with visuals than a well constructed, fully developed motion picture. His portrayal of Rubell, the overlord of Studio 54, is effective, although, like everything else in the movie, it lacks depth. Studio 54, the famed, exclusive Manhattan den of disco and decadence, is re-created gloriously, from the balconies (where patrons had sex) and the basement (where the VIPs hung out and got high) to the dance floor. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/f/54.html   (894 words)

Battle of Britain Britain later served as a base from which Operation Overlord, aka the Battle of Normandy, was launched against Nazi forces in Europe. Battle of Britain is also the title of a 1969 film with Michael Caine- see Battle of Britain (film). The Battle of Britain was not the first major battle to be fought entirely in the air, as the British mainland had already suffered a campaign of attacks by Zeppelins and long range bombers during World War I. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/b/ba/battle_of_britain.html   (5170 words)

IFILM The 1975 film begins with the feel of a go-get-'em underdog sports flick but builds to a eerie, searing finale. New School: In 2005, Chris Klein, LL Cool J and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos lead a unisex Rollerball team into competition and rebellion against their corporate overlord, a Russian sports mogul played by the very French Jean Reno. No war...only Rollerball, in which men skate around a rink, chasing a metal ball and killing each other for points. vgn.ifilm.com /db/static_text/0,1699,16982,00.html   (224 words)

VH1.com : Movies : Movie : Overlord : Plot Tom is killed on D-Day--hence the film's title, an allusion to "Operation Overlord." If the point of this film is the futility of war, that point is made early on. The film follows the protagonist through the rigors of training and the shock of his first Tom (Brian Stirner) is a typical 18-year-old Briton who goes into military service early in 1944. www.vh1.com /movies/movie/69792/plot.jhtml   (121 words)

The Battle of Algiers MetaFilter The Battle of Algiers, Gillo Pontecorvo’s masterpiece from 1966, was studied closely by the Black Panthers as a training manual for violent uprising against a colonial overlord. The film The Dancer Upstairs (loosely based on Peru's guerrilla organization The Shining Path), though not as fully grounded in truth, was also instructive and oddly moving. The Weather Underground was an excellent film about the Students for a Democratic Society (and, tangentially, Black Panther) resistance movements in the US that experimented with terrorism in the 60s and 70s. www.metafilter.com /mefi/28121   (121 words)

WWE's Hollywood Takeover - Cinematical As created by WWE overlord Vince McMahon, WWE Films have the stated purpose of creating vehicles for WWE wrestlers (oddly, they had nothing to do with Blade: Trinity, which starred a guy named Triple H), and will fully finance all projects as long as distribution is arranged before production begins. Their first effort, a horror film called See No Evil, is due out May 19 and stars a large man called Kane; it's being distributed by Lionsgate, which also just agreed to handle WWE Film's newest project, The Condemned. A WWE press release from Jan. 18, 2005 says that post-production had just begun and that "The Marine" will be the first released WWE produced film. www.cinematical.com /2006/04/20/wwes-hollywood-takeover   (2202 words)

D-Day Museum The Museum's unique and dramatic film show, which includes original, historic footage and archive film, is an equally moving experience. Its centrepiece is the magnificent Overlord Embroidery commissioned by Lord Dulverton of Batsford (1915-92) as a tribute to the sacrifice and heroism of those men and women who took part in Operation Overlord. The Museum was extended in 1994 for D-Day 50. www.ddaymuseum.co.uk   (2202 words)

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers for Xbox Review - Xbox The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Review Those familiar either with the first two films in Peter Jackson's trilogy or the literary source material know that the basic premise of The Lord of the Rings involves a small group of heroes who possess a ring that an evil overlord needs to obtain to ensure his conquest of the land. The Two Towers features the soundtrack from The Fellowship of the Ring film and some tracks that were made for the film but were later cut. The second film, The Two Towers, sees the heroes going their separate ways and braving their own dangers, and the game continues the story line through its narrative. www.gamespot.com /xbox/action/lordoftheringsthett/review.html   (1746 words)

Dateline Hollywood : LUCAS WORKING ON ‘HOWARD THE DUCK BEGINS’ The first part of the film features the hero in his egg as he learns to appreciate cigar and beers and how to charm Earth women and develop the skills to one day combat the evil Overlord. Lucas said that his new film will be inspired by the acclaimed comic book "Howard the Duck: Year One," which gave a modern take to the character's origins that thrilled readers. As with the original "Howard," Lucas will oversee the film as executive producer. datelinehollywood.com /archives/2005/06/19/lucas-working-on-howard-the-duck-begins   (350 words)

Operation Tonga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia As part of Operation Overlord the British 6th Airborne Division was to be airlanded on the eastern flank of the landing area, around the River Orne and to the east of the town of Caen.

Saving Private Ryan: Operation Overlord The events depicted in the film do not lessen the British or Canadian contributions to D-Day, but the scope of the film simply does not cover these forces. Due to a delay in the landing of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division, the tide had risen higher than was planned and the obstacles were more difficult to locate and disable. While the D-Day landings were conducted by American, British and Canadian forces, there would not have been any significant amount of British or Canadian soldiers in or around Omaha or Utah Beaches between June 6th and June 13th. www.sproe.com /o/overlord.html   (602 words)

Warriors of Heaven and Earth Warriors of Heaven and Earth has been, first and foremost, a labor of love for writer and director He Ping, who first hatched the idea for the film more than 15 years ago and worked on the script on and off throughout this period. Lai Xi and Lt. Li, accompanied by Li’s former posse of soldiers, who have forsaken their peaceful new lives to return to his side, must face the cruelty of the desert, the region's barbaric bandits and the brutality of the overlord’s men before they can finally face one another.

Amazon.ca: Moonlight Mile: DVD Moonlight Mile may be a chick flick, but it's like someone crossed the script for a chick flick with the script for a David Lynch film, then hit the puree button on the blender. I saw this film and the more recent "Monster" on the same afternoon so I will be comparing the two films here, though they may have little in common: The first thing which struck me about "Moonlight Mile" was the soundtrack which is unusually good--so good it may make you forget about the plot. Meanwhile, he's being taken on as a partner in Ben's commercial property business, which is trying to buy a bar at which Bertie moonlights, in order to pave the way for a big development envisioned by the movie's evil overlord, Mulcahey (Dabney Coleman). www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JLOB   (1198 words)

War Museums - D-Day Museum Other interesting features of the museum are the informative film you can watch, some nice dioramas and a few specialised vehicles and watercraft that are on display, such as the Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle (see picture below). Apart from the usual displays of tanks, guns and other 'maiming & killing equipment', this museum has a unique attraction that makes it especially worthwhile to visit: The D-day Museum is home to the Overlord Embroidery. The Embroidery, which is 83 metres long (that's right, 13 metres longer than the Bayeux Tapestry!), portrays the events taking place during Operation Overlord and its aftermath. www.warmuseums.nl /gal/119gal.htm   (771 words)

Pola Negri Filmography - The Films of Pola Negri This especially holds true in the assembly line days of Hollywood pictures, when the director was often little more than a stopwatch keeper and operative supervisor over the entire film-making process rather than the omnipotent overlord of the film that some would like to make him out to be. This is without a doubt the most complete and accurate Pola Negri filmography on the web, but it is admittedly not as complete nor as accurate as we’d like it to be.

Operation COBRA and the Great Offensive U.S. Army Group (FUSAG) under the auspices of Operation FORTITUDE, the OVERLORD deception plan.   My first cognizance of this operation was in the film Patton, followed by the narrative in the book Lucky Forward, written by one of Patton’s staff officers. One of the attractions of this book is that it actually covers the events that followed what most would call the essential end of Operation COBRA. members.aol.com /TFGrantel/books/cobra.html   (1237 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: Alphaville - Criterion Collection (1965) Godard's hamfisted treatment of SF tropes is a permanent embarassment, an introverted quirkfest, a famously bad film that takes the poseur's road of cobbling together the trashy, desultory, pop-culture elements of the genre, with nary a breath of futurological fresh air to help remit our escalating future shock. In Godard's future, "logic" is the totemic overlord of a culture that has elevated science to the mutant edge of theocracy, brilliantly visualized through Godard's cinematic language (a perennial fetish for tenure-track academic code-breakers). Godard's *Alphaville* is a crude anthology of faux-Orwellian logorrhea and slushy, maudlin swill about "logic" and "the human heart." A strange and appalling artifact. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0780021541?v=glance   (1237 words)

Page Title The role of the French Resistance in the success of Operation Overlord must never be underestimated. Her story can be seen in the film "Carve Her Name With Pride" excellently portrayed by Virginia Mc Kenna. It must be remembered that a lot of French women were involved in the movement and fought bravely side by side with the men. www.6june44.freeserve.co.uk /page43.html   (434 words)
