New Wave In Chinese Cinema / Rare screenings of hot new independent films at UC Berkeley offer peek into changing nation The Beijing Subway Authority approved the use of a single subway car but refused to upset the regular operating schedule, so the cast and crew stayed aboard a single car, filming between 9 am and 5 pm for four days straight. In fact, "Spring Subway," a romance about the complexities of urban relationships, directed by Zhang Yibai and starring Zhang Yang, was shot in Beijing's subway system. Though the centers of Chinese filmmaking used to be Shanghai and Hong Kong, over the last 15 years, Beijing has unexpectedly emerged as both the epicenter of the Chinese film industry and the setting for many of its most ground-breaking movies. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2003/11/13/chinesecinema.DTL&type=printable   (1719 words)

Amazon.com: Mimic: DVD The escalator in Delancey Street subway station is shown as dismantled for maintenance because the scene was filmed on a Toronto subway station platform that was closed in 1966, so its escalator was removed. Though the story seems derailed in the final chapter of the film, the film, as a whole, maintains its creepy atomosphere throughout, and those weird feelings that some people might get when they watch insects -- something akin to awe and fear -- are tactfully expressed in the darkly images of the underground world. Anyway, Mira Sorvino was here in Japan for the promotion of this creep film "Mimic." It was a bit surprise she took the role of entomologist Dr. Tyler, because it was soon after she got an Oscar for that Woody Allen film. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558908323?v=glance   (3111 words)

Review: Money Train Only the final fifteen minutes (with a runaway subway train) generate any momentum, but that's a little too late to save the film. Meanwhile, Charlie has piled up some serious gambling debts, and begins to consider robbing the Money Train (the train that collects all the money throughout the New York City subway system) as a way out of his situation. The best way to watch Money Train, if you must watch it, is to bring a bunch of friends to a late showing (when there's no one else in the theater), then ridicule the movie Mystery Science Theater 3000-style. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/m/money_train.html   (489 words)

Trivia for Spider-Man 2 (2004) For a scene featuring fighting on the exterior of a subway train amidst a crowd of skyscrapers, portions of this film were filmed in Chicago, Illinois, on the famous elevated Loop standing in for New York City's 9th St. El in Manhattan, torn down in 1940, with routes transferred to underground subway lines. According to DP Bill Pope, even though the film primarily uses Super 35, 16 large format cameras were brought in to shoot the exterior of the subway train scene. The lines of poetry that Peter quotes to MJ ('Day by day he gazed upon her / Day by day he sighed with passion') are from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "The Four Winds". www.imdb.com /title/tt0316654/trivia   (1710 words)

IGN: The Horror Geek Speaks: Slashermania The film itself features some great gore (including the infamous Tom Savini created 'shotgun blast to the head' scene, which, to this day, is still the best of its kind) and an incredible sequence where Spinnell stalks a young nurse through a deserted subway station. Truthfully, this is the watershed slasher film – the one that improved upon all the formulaic films that had come before it and set the tone for what was to come and if all that weren't cool enough for ya, John Saxon is in this film, too. Still, the giallo had a profound impact on early American slasher cinema – and while the two are different forms (at least slightly different), I'm considering gialli as slasher films for this list. filmforce.ign.com /articles/370/370402p1.html   (1369 words)

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Politics (Liner Notes) Subway had also been criticized for another poor choice of imagery used in a booklet that was part of a press kit available through the German web site of the film Super Size Me. Subway claimed this had not been its promotion and that the booklet was never handed out at its German franchises, but a representative of The Center for Individual Freedom claims it received its copy from an American tourist who had picked it up at a Subway in Munich. In July 2004 sandwich giant Subway came under fire for its use of anti-American imagery on tray liners in its German franchises. www.snopes.com /politics/business/subwayad.asp   (397 words)

Asian Film Foundation - Features Spring Subway is awash with symbolism and metaphors, chiefly life's similarity to being on a train. Greater than the sum of its parts, Spring Subway whirls forward with a giddy rush of feeling - it's at the same time romantic and post-romantic, which should please both paying audiences and jaded critics - flaunting a new, state of the art flair for the global urban culture all its own. Ruggedly handsome Geng Le (In the Heat of the Sun, Beijing Rocks), and currently hot mainland pop-idol Xu Jinglei (Spicy Love Soup) both do the best work yet of their young careers playing a twenty-something couple lost in the doldrums of a seven-year-old marriage that seems to be coming apart for no particular reason. www.asianfilm.org /modules.php?name=Encyclopedia&op=content&tid=53   (889 words)

filmcritic.com Movie Review: Baraka This is a film that gazes with such awe at the mystery of life on earth that it seems almost childlike and yet does it in a way so purely cinematic that it can only come from the hands of a wizened master. Films like this can be downright overwhelming so naturally I left Baraka feeling like my own life of laundry and peanut butter meant much less than that of the snow monkey. The temptation then is to see Baraka as both criticism-proof (who quibbles with sun, stars, and waterfalls?) and more political than it actually is. Sped-up footage of commuters in a Tokyo subway fit the angry environmentalist message of Koyaanisqatsi but seems tacked on here. www.filmcritic.com /misc/emporium.nsf/2a460f93626cd4678625624c007f2b46/1a20e387c8fabe4a88256c1600620071?OpenDocument   (641 words)
