	Bad Boys (1983 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bad Boys is a 1983 juvenile delinquent melodrama set primarily in a tough reform school for boys.
		However, as the film makes clear, this "juvenile correction facility" is not a place where troubled kids are reformed, but rather a place where they grow tougher, angrier, and more prepared for a life of adult crime.
		Given his disposition at the beginning of the film, it is hard to imagine that Mick could be a particularly sympathetic character, but Penn's performance is generally regarded as so forceful in its naturalism that the audience sides with him.

	P.O.V. - Lost Boys of Sudan . Film Synopsis \| PBS
		Boys like Santino and Peter had no choice but to flee for their lives into the desert — without knowing who among their families had died or survived.
		"Lost Boys of Sudan" is a remarkable glimpse into the trials of two of the world's growing legions of displaced people — and in their stories we hear an elegy for a planet torn by violence.
		After surviving a harrowing trek across hundreds of miles of desert, an estimated 11,000 "Lost Boys" found the protection of the U.N. They crossed the Sudan border into Kenya and were taken to Kakuma refugee camp where they spent the next 9 years waiting for an end to their country's Civil War.

	MediaRights: Film: The Boys of Baraka
		On September 12, 2002 twenty "at risk" 12-year-old boys from the tough streets of inner-city Baltimore left home to attend the 7th and 8th grade at Baraka, an experimental boarding school located in Kenya, East Africa.
		Here, faced with a strict academic and disciplinary program as well as the freedom to be normal teenage boys, these brave kids began the daunting journey towards putting their lives on a fresh path.
		Through extensive time with the boys in Baltimore and in Africa, the film captures the kids' amazing journey and how they fare when they are forced to return the difficult realities of their city.

	Boys Alone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Boys Alone is a riveting film of an English social experiment in which 10 eleven-year old boys are invited to be "home alone" without adult supervision for a week in a suburban house.
		The boys came in a variety of shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.
		The film tests the common belief that a pack of boys left together in a house for a long period of time, will self-destruct, as they did in Lord of the Flies.

	THE BOYS AND GIRL FROM COUNTY CLARE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Appealing performers and some robustly performed traditional Irish music are the main draws of The Boys and Girl from County Clare, a modest comedy-drama situated in the west of Ireland.
		Corr, in her first leading film role, is an attractive ingénue and an actress of promise.
		For fans of Irish culture, the film's number-one asset will be the musical sequences, which include not only some rousing ceili numbers with a colorful range of instruments, but glimpses at some of the festival's sub-categories like "under-12 fiddle," "under-16 harp" and the tin-whistle playoff.

	DVD Review: Bad Boys II
		The film comes eight years after the original, which introduced us to Bay's work and also, made bigger stars out of then-TV actors Will Smith and Martin Lawrence (the film was originally going to star Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz).
		The film certainly doesn't skip on the action sequences, throwing such sequences at the audience as a band of thieves on a car truck tossing cars - which spin and flip down the highway (one going right over their heads) in pure Bay fashion - at Marcus and Mike.
		The film's sound design is as amped-up as the action sequences, which is a pleasant change from the original, whose sound work - I don't think - reached even the level of what should be expected from a picture of its age.

	Bad Boys film review In Film Australia
		Bruckheimer, one of the founding fathers of the Hollywood high-concept film, has always had a keen sense of how to gratify mainstream audiences, at the same time happily divorcing himself from the critical establishment.
		Mainly because of his grandness and a prolific series of money winners and franchise makers, he is one of few producers in the world who can be discussed with reference to himself as the auteur of his investments.
		In a nifty near-opening scene in which we are re-introduced to the main characters, Smith and Lawrence have enough time and leeway to emerge from Klu Klux Klan hoods, sing the franchise theme song, and start off a chain of jokes relating to Martin Lawrence being shot in the ass.

	Boys From County Clare at the Celtic Cafe
		The Boys from County Clare salutes the spirit of this musical tradition in a touching, gently comical tale foregrounding the family feuds that wreak havoc behind the scenes of this battle of the bands.
		The film weaves these timeless themes of discord – star-crossed lovers, feuding brothers, narrow-minded parents and rebellious children – with the passion all the characters share for the music they play.
		The film can best be described as a gentle comedy although some of the comedic moments were far from gentle, I was creasing myself laughing at one point.

	OFFOFFOFF film review LOST BOYS OF SUDAN documentary movie by Megan Mylan, Jon Shenk with Santino Majok Chuor, Peter ...
		Some observations of the boys are less benign, however; repeatedly, throughout the film, the boys (although Peter and Santino are not guilty of the more egregious examples) voice regressive and sweeping stereotypes about American fl men.
		The remainder of the film can be either understood as either an indictment of the demoralizing, corrupting effect of prosperity's promise, or understood as a narrative of triumph where a hardworking and talented emigre will find success no matter what the obstacles, thanks to benign government officials and good-hearted, Midwestern religious folk.
		This is either the strength or weakness of the film depending on what you want from a documentary; it is so consciously unobtrusive that it aspires to little more than witness, permitting the audience to draw its own conclusions according to its own preconceptions.

	Dogtown & Z-Boys
		The film is so intent on harnessing the off-the-cuff spirit that informed the Zephyr Team ("Z-Boys") that we hear narrator Sean Penn cough and clear his throat.
		In the film's best sequence, Peralta edits and superimposes images of legendary surfer Larry Bertleman cutting a wave over images of the Z-Boys mimicking the man's style in those pools and on the asphalt crests of Dogtown's schools, where giant canals had been created in an attempt to even the rolling landscape.
		The graffiti is a revelation because Peralta's film suggests that the skateboarders themselves were creating a kind of inner city revolt, utilizing the sterile architecture of man in the twentieth century as every bit the canvas for dissidence as the graffitists who came before them.

	Film Fest Journal: The Boys of Baraka, 2005
		Far from the distraction of their desperate surroundings and impersonal institution of the public school system, the boys begin to academically (and emotionally) thrive in the challenges of their new environment, returning home for summer vacation with a newfound sense of maturity, deliberativeness, and character.
		However, when heightened terrorist concerns and global politics intervene and threaten the future of The Baraka School program at a critical stage in the boys' development, their learned life lessons are soon put to the test.
		In presenting an equally bittersweet, tragic, and affirming portrait of the boys' bifurcated trajectories since their Baraka School experience, the film presents a haunting and complex portrait of poverty, marginalization, and disenfranchisement that defies socially expedient trivializations of human worth, ability, perseverance, and destiny.

	Wonder Boys (2000): Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire, Frances McDormand, Robert Downey, Jr. - PopMatters Film Review
		The film is clearly nostalgic for the stereotypical freedoms and possibilities of youth, and begins to suggest that "youth" might very well be a manner of attitude, behavior, and the refusal of "adult" responsibility, rather than a matter of lived years.
		And so, similar to the queer boys, the women in Grady's life, for all their passion or desire for him, are strangely desexualized (or evacuated altogether: we never see his wife at all, though we catch a glimpse of her parents).
		The film's send up of the writing/academic life is certainly entertaining, even though anyone inside academia could tell you it's not really accurate (were it as crazy and sexy and the film suggests, my life would definitely be a bit more interesting).

	PopMatters \| Film \| Interviews \| Kimberly Peirce - Boys Don't Cry
		Based on the short life and violent death of Brandon Teena, the Nebraska girl who, in 1993, was murdered for passing as a boy, the movie exposes the instability of identity and the ways we all perform every day.
		That's bad enough, but the boy is a girl, so that's a double blow to their masculinity.
		Boys take their rage out on girl bodies and girls take it out on their own.

	Planet-Bollywood - Film Review - Bombay Boys
		While most would argue that the film is way too explicit for the Indian audience, the film concentrates on the trauma of life in one of India's own cities.

	WONDER BOYS - DVD
		Wonder Boys understands writers and readers, and though it's more appropriate for one of those two breeds of human animal, it's still a bit of an understatement to say that it comes highly recommended.
		Paramount's DVD release of Wonder Boys is somewhat lacking in special features, at least to the extent that I missed a director commentary from Hanson and perhaps a cinematographer commentary from the under-valued Spinotti.
		This is an aurally subdued film and the exceptionally meticulous sound transfer is a good match for its quietness.

		Whereas a fiction film can write lines for what they want their actors to say, documentary filmmakers must be there to film the events or find archival footage, photographs or journals in order to have the tools to tell their story.
		Of course, there are many documentary films that incorporate elements of fiction filmmaking, just as many fiction filmmakers work to bring a "documentary style" or feeling of reality to their work.
		The film is by Frances Reid and Deborah Hoffmann.

	The Jolly Boys' Last Stand DVD Review - FilmFocus.Co.UK
		A British film given neither the time of day nor the distribution it deserved in a country that's working tirelessly to promote itself as one of cinema's key regions, it's a testament to independent DVD distribution that it's getting a release at all.
		The film follows Spider (Serkis) who, as we open, has announced an engagement to his best friends who, in their carefree early twenties formed the Jolly Boys.
		But the film is skilfully scripted and the guerrilla fashion does little but ensure the actors are at ease (or, contrastingly, hugely self-aware) with their environments and deliver some outstanding comic and dramatic performances.

	Montreal Film Journal
		The film takes place during the college's annual Word Fest, which will turn out to be a decisive week-end in Tripp's life.
		Mentor and protégé are in for one hell of a ride involving a dead dog, lots of pot smoking, the theft of the jacket Marilyn Monroe wore when she wed Joe Dimaggio, an unsafe mix of bourbon and codeine, a drag queen...
		Yes, the film is often hilarious and surprisingly exciting, but it's really an expertly crafted, intelligent character piece, a mature film about inspiration and choices.

		Almost all of the films chosen by British film critics as the best of the past 25 years are made for, by and about chin-stroking males, writes Sean Clarke
		There are the Playboy models, whose presence in the film has no more enlightened a motivation than their presence in the theatre of war, and there's the French widow, significantly cut from the original release, in part perhaps because she reeks of token love interest.
		It seems that to qualify as a good film, our critics demand either that it be American, violent and include some seriously masculine leads, or that it be foreign (to film critics, this includes British) and a family drama.

	Filmtracks: Wonder Boys (Christopher Young)
		Despite some critical success it received at the start of the year, the film was an enormous flop at the box office and, to stir up some possible awards consideration for the film, Paramount decided to release the film to theatres a second time at the end of the year.
		The score for Wonder Boys is a low budget affair, with an ensemble of about dozen men having at it with their small studio specialties.
		Just as the film flopped in the theatres, this score and album will be simply unlistenable to many pairs of ears.
