Hjemmekinoguiden DVDnett.no - Speechless (1994) - anmeldelse Speechless har uansett blitt en halvmorsom film som på ingen måte er noe must i en film-samling. På Speechless står de oppført som produsenter begge to, og den forholdsvis uerfarne Ron Underwood satt i registolen. Paret Davis og Harlin skilte seg i 1998, og Long Kiss Goodnight ble den siste filmen de samarbeidet om. www.dvdnett.no /html/review/62662554.html

Beetlejuice Description & Actress Filmography Their first film was Speechless (1994) which flopped at the box office. League of Their Own, A (1992) with Tom Hanks and directed by Penny Marshall, was the turning point as her next film Hero (1992) was only average. For the last film, she was the surprise winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. www.geocities.com /womenofhorror/beetle1.html

Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel I try to avoid movies that I feel will be poor, but I had high hopes (the title of a good British film, by the way) for "Speechless." Could it be the camera angles?) Q: I haven't seen "Speechless" but from what I read it is about two speechwriters who fall in love while working for senatorial candidates (one Republican, one Democrat) who are competing in New Mexico. A: 1) The music of "Speechless" is by Marc Shaiman, who scored "Sleepless " (in Seattle, that is). www.prairienet.org /ejahiel/speechle.htm

'Primer' surprise winner at Sundance - MORE MOVIE NEWS AND FEATURES - MSNBC.com Carruth was nearly speechless at his own upset, thanking “the cast, who was also the crew.” He remembered when the project “wasn’t a Sundance film but was a bunch of guys moving furniture” at his parents’ home, which he used as a location. The film also picked up the Alfred P. Sloan Prize, which carries a $20,000 cash award and celebrates indie films incorporating themes of science and technology, during a ceremony at Park City Racquet Club. The film was picked up during the fest by Warner Independent Pictures, the banner’s first acquisition. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/4063055   (914 words)

NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: DIVINE INTERVENTION By JONATHAN FOREMAN The film also follows a speechless, doleful lead character (Suleiman) as he visits his father in the hospital, meets his beautiful girlfriend (Manal Khader) at an Israeli checkpoint (she's forbidden to leave the West Bank) for silent assignations, and stares into space. Much of the film - a series of loosely connected vignettes - concerns the mildly comic squabbling of various Nazareth neighbors, though you never know who is whom. These deadpan realist sequences with their hints of bottled-up violence are interspersed with (and for the most part undermined by) crude surrealist fantasy ones - a flying Palestinian ninja woman kills a squad of dancing Israeli militiamen, a peach pit thrown out of a car window blows up an Israeli tank. www.nypost.com /movies/53231.htm   (235 words)

Primal Fear (1996) I was speechless.The movie has so many twists! I had just gotten done seeing the movie Fight Club when a relative of mine said " If you like that movie, you'll like Primal Fear." I didn't believe him, because I had believed that Fight Club was the best movie on the face of the planet. The fact that this was made during the starting of his acting career was unbelievable. www.imdb.com /title/tt0117381   (413 words)

The Elegant Variation And although the competition isn't as direct, if one finds one's interest in Alfred Kinsey limited, a trip to the multiplex to catch Bill Condon's film Kinsey is likely to seem a considerably more appealing prospect than wading through the overheated prose stylings of T.C. Boyle. Even as a dumb 15-year-old more interested in the Beatles and girls, I was stunned and speechless as I stood before the canvas, whose dimensions are about 11 feet x 25 feet. We were once college newspaper editors ourselves (NYU, Washington Square News, 1984-86), so it seems a bit too easy to poke fun at others, but that's not going to stop us from directing your attention to this (presumably unintentionally) hilarious attempt by the Daily Princetonian to render Alan Hollinghurst for the masses. marksarvas.blogs.com /elegvar   (413 words)

Sci Fi Wire -- The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel Adrien Brody and Lindsay Lohan will star in the romantic comedy film Speechless, based on a 1952 story by classic SF writer L. Sprague de Camp, Variety reported. Mission: Impossible III director J.J.

The Thin Red Line and the World War II Hollywood Tradition Thin Red Line is a three-hour epic about the World War II, directed by Terrence Malick, who made his comeback to the film industry after 20 years with a subject that had been neglected for almost as long. In the Thin Red Line when an operation is successful the soldiers are unable to celebrate or relish the victory and remain frightened and speechless. The film opens with an idyllic sequence in an unspoiled island in the Pacific. www.arts.uwaterloo.ca /FINE/juhde/thanou051.htm   (5472 words)

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Bonnie and Clyde The incongruous brutality of this dark ending left audiences speechless and set off a national debate on film, violence, and individual responsibility. Bonnie's quest for adventure and Clyde's masculine overcompensation drive the film, leading the two into an initially fun-filled and adventurous life of petty larceny. The film, they point out, punishes Bonnie and Clyde--and by extension the audience--for their insouciant acceptance of lawbreaking. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_g1epc/is_tov/ai_2419100158   (954 words)

CBBC Newsround TV/Film Daniel Craig named as James Bond A number of other actors have been linked to the role since news that Pierce Brosnan wouldn't be making a fifth film as Bond. And it seems Craig is already getting ready to keep state secrets, saying "I'm speechless at the moment."

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Shop on Main Street at Epinions.com Well, I’m presently speechless, having just finished watching for the first time the 1965 Academy Award winning film in the Best Foreign Film category: The Shop on Main Street (or Obchod na korze). Ida Kaminska, in fact, received an Academy Award nomination as best actress, which is very rare for actresses in a foreign film. This is a Czech film, co-directed by Ján Kadár and Elmar Klos and based on a story by Ladislav Grosman. www.epinions.com /content_131916861060   (1285 words)

Michael Keaton: One Great Actor-Biography Michael's next film was not until Christmas 1995, where he starred along with Geena Davis in the film Speechless, where the two portrayed speech writers for competing political parties. The film was a critical and box office success and made Michael's character so memorable that he then made a cameo in the George Clooney film, Out Of Sight, which was also based on an Elmore Leonard novel. Michael dropped out of Kent State after his sophomore year in 1972 to pursue other venues; he took a job as a stagehand at a local PBS station and eventually started his career as a technical crew person on the set of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and even played the part of Black-and-White Panda. keatontribute.tripod.com /mkbiog.htm   (1285 words)

Forum The Downfall It mesmerizes you in a way no other film will ever do - I was speechless when I exited the cinema after seeing this. I was disappointed when it did not win the Academy Adward for best foreign film - and that Bruno Ganz wasn’t nominated but I guess it is still many places a sore spot... I have so much respect for the director and the cast (especially Bruno Ganz) for making this film! www.the-downfall.com /forum-untergang.php3   (8341 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: The Passion of the Christ (Widescreen Edition) (2004) This movie is the most realistic, historically accurate version of Christ's Passion on film to date and may never be surpassed. The actual passion is what Jesus had to endure, and had the film been shown any other way that passion could never be conveyed. If one accepts that Gibson's intentions are sincere, The Passion can be accepted for what it is: a grueling, straightforward (some might say unimaginative) and extremely violent depiction of the Passion, guaranteed to render devout Christians speechless while it intensifies their faith. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00028HBKM?v=glance   (8341 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Finding Neverland (OST) [Soundtrack]: Music Subtly underpinning much of the emotional weight of the film Finding Neverland, this score -- specially released for standalone consumption, rather than simply taking the music from the film as-is -- leaves me speechless, time after time. Listening to this score one truly can find Neverland; the themes are emphasised in the film so that simply listening to the Imagination Waltz or the Family Theme in their many variations immediately transports the listener back to Hyde Park or the theatre... Jan Kaczmarek creates simple themes which are then endlessly improvised upon on a number of different instruments, changing from light delicate tones tinged with minor variations and filled with sadness to heavy piano work full of heartfelt emotions. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002TQZTE   (713 words)

GOTW - Geek O' the Week: Danica Mckellar Among the most notable of her post-UCLA endeavors include "Speechless", a 20-minute short film that McKellar wrote/directed herself. She also started her own production company to handle the making of the film and won the "Best First Time Director" Award at the Hollywood Underground Film Festival. We all know that Danica McKellar's claim to fame was her role as Winnie Cooper on the popular coming-of-age show set in the sixties, The Wonder Years. www.ernac.com /blogs/index.php?p=65&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1   (516 words)

DVD Talk > Reviews > Lila Says From the moment Lila asks the speechless Chimo if he would like to "see her pussy" to the almost documentary-like depiction of a group of Muslims being interrogated in a most uncompromising manner by the French police this is certainly a film that feeds off visual contrasts. I am torn between granting Lila Says a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED mark (the film is certainly one of a kind) and soothing the angry man in me with a SKIP IT mark (for presentation purposes). I managed to obtain an early Dutch copy of this beautiful film and I suppose it is fair to say that ever since the DVD arrived in Chicago I have seen it a dozen times. www.dvdtalk.com /reviews/read.php?ID=18734   (1230 words)

Michael Keaton Keaton's next film was not until Christmas 1995, where he starred along with Geena Davis in Speechless, in which the two portrayed speech writers for competing political parties. When Keaton was cast as the caped crusader in Tim Burton¹s remake of Batman in 1989, no one thought he could play the part seriously, but critics were proved wrong when the film became the number one film of the year. After turning down the role Tom Hanks made famous in Splash, Keaton went on to star as a funny gangster in Johnny Dangerously, a car maker in Gung Ho, a hockey player in Touch and Go and a con artist in The Squeeze. www.tribute.ca /bio.asp?id=2779   (697 words)

anythingbut.com: James Bond Archives The casting of one of cinema's most iconic characters closes the successful four-film run of Irishman Brosnan, who was shaken and stirred not to be retained to make "Casino Royale," the 21st Bond film, that starts shooting in January. The first blond Bond, wearing a blue suit and red tie, posed for photos in the shadow of Tower Bridge and told reporters: "I'm kind of speechless at the moment." Craig's agent in London declined to comment, and a spokesman for Sony Pictures Entertainment, which will release the film, said the company did not comment on rumors. www.anythingbut.com /archive/cat_james_bond.html   (7955 words)

filmcritic.com Movie Review: Before Night Falls Alas, the subject of Before Night Falls is likely not a name you'll be familiar with anyway, but there he is, a speechless little boy playing in a pit dug in the ground. In his second film, Schnabel attempts to improve on his truly lame Basquiat, another down-and-out artist tragedy, and at least Before Night Falls is better than that. We are invited to let the film wash over us, but its disjointed amateurism prevents that from happening with much success. www.filmcritic.com /misc/emporium.nsf/0/13ace314ef09c5a0882569b40026103a?opendocument   (609 words)

Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] The twist that makes Nakajima's film more interesting than it might have been is that whatever killed everyone else on the planet has left the five survivors speechless; like preverbal primitive humans, they must communicate without spoken language. Nakajima shot on 16 mm black-and-white film — a refreshing alternative to video — and his use of actual locations rather than constructed sets reveals an interesting, if disturbing, irony: Our present world stands in quite convincingly for a postapocalyptic landscape. Despite the title, Queens-based filmmaker Yasuaki Nakajima's nano-budget sci-fi feature is less a thriller than a social drama in the tradition of FIVE (1951) and THE WORLD, THE FLESH, AND THE DEVIL (1959), in which a small group of men and women must rebuild their lives after some catastrophe. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/showmovie.asp?MI=46002   (411 words)

Sunrise - movie review Whereas TOKYO STORY left me a little cold (I can’t say that I wasn’t moved) SUNRISE left me speechless, just like the actors within this truly great film. It was placed highly in the Sight and Sound critics all time classics pole in the 80’s (before these things got out of hand) along with another film I saw this week TOKYO STORY. Although this movie is silent, it was the loudest silent movie I have ever sat through. www.phase9.tv /moviereviews/sunrise.shtml   (497 words)
