 Roddey seeks $375,000 in RAD funds for First Night, regatta, marathon, film office
For 2001, Roddey wants to substitute $375,000 in county sales-tax revenue, which is controlled by the RAD board, for hotel/motel tax funds that the four civic events have received in the past.
Roddey asked RAD to provide $200,000 for the film office next year, plus $100,000 for the regatta, $50,000 for the First Night event and $25,000 for the marathon.
Voros said RAD has never, in its six-year history, funded events that last just one day or a few days, which is the case with the marathon, First Night and the regatta.

Furthermore, watching Rad, or the similar BMX Bandits, is a great way to recognize that BMX was, after all, the direct precursor of today's off-road, freestyle and mountain bikes.
While Rocky stands the test of time, Rad deserves to be left in its time capsule, except for an occasional viewing to better appreciate the significant role of BMX in bicycle history.

 Malibu's Most Wanted
Any film dealing with a theme of race is, but the silly execution of the topic serves as a comfort zone to those that might find this an uncomfortable topic.
One of the main reasons the film doesn't succeed as well as it should is because it never really takes the risks that it could in order to make the most of satirizing suburbia.
Much of the humor comes from the segment of the film after B-Rad finds out that everything was a set-up, and that PJ and Sean were hired actors.

The film shows how fl punks encounter conflicting experiences of alienation and racism within the punk scene (which is predominately white and usually predominately male) while at the same time feeling an intense ownership of and empowerment within punk culture.
One interviewee in the film makes the powerful claim that "punk rock is fl music," an idea which eschews mainstream conceptions of punk, but is, of course, completely accurate if one considers punk's roots in rock 'n' roll and the influence of seminal punk bands such as the Bad Brains.
This film is a powerful testament to the idea that radical cultures such as punk can be and are stronger when they are multiracial and multicultural.

 CER | Martin Sulik: Slovakia's most exportable film director
As, sadly, previous efforts have showed, presenting a good film in a large cinema in the centre of a big capital is not enough to bring in the punters.
This contrasts with the Czech film events from autumn 2000, which had clearly defined themes and made explicit why these films were interesting to watch and relevant to a wider context, even through such simple devices as director retrospectives which bind the films together in some meaningful way.
Interestingly, although the there was a heavy emphasis on Šulík films, there was little attempt to try and bill the event as containing a mini Šulík retrospective, with the individual films largely left to stand on their own feet.

The variables that control release properties are the chemistry of the adhesive as well as proper curing and film weight.
Higher film weights tend to seal more of the substrate allowing less of the adhesive to attach itself to the substrate forming another bond.

 Hustle and Heat (2003): Duane Martin, Vivica A. Fox, Jadakiss, Sticky Fingaz - PopMatters Film Review
It's probably scandalous that Armageddon turns out to be a white college professor with expertise in fl history, but because the film reveals nothing else about this character or his relationship with Benji, it's hard to care who he is, or even how badly he rhymes.
Rad's nosing around leads to serial fight scenes (whether or not Martin was worried about including them): Rad "gets [his] ass kicked by Madame Wu Tang" (that is, a martial arts diva in the employ of B Free), and engages in a slow motion shootout with a couple of goons in ski masks.
Repeatedly, she asks Rad to "let" her go out on cases with him, but no, he believes she's a girl and should stay home, conjuring weapons for him to use on the job.
