	Amazon.co.uk: Asoka [2001]: DVD
		Asoka, the story of the first all-India emperor who introduced Buddhism to the country, is a cinematic treat for anyone who has even a remote acquaintance with Bollywood films.
		The violence in the film is given an ultra-realism and morality that Hollywood doesn't match, while you can thrill, at the same time, to the sight of a spear point within millimetres of Shah Rukh Khan's eyeball, or the sight of Kareena wielding a sword on the battlefield in defence of her people.
		The film certainly gives the impression of both the epic sweep of history and of the sophistication and breadth of 1st millenia BC Indian civilisation, and is lavishly photographed, designed, costumed and shot in every scene.

	Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Asoka
		The opening sequence in which Asoka the child seizes the emblematic sword of conquest abandoned by his pacifist grandfather is memorable, but thereafter the picture is short of striking images.
		The three-hour movie with a cast of thousands (none of them digitally created) stars matinée idol Shah Rukh Khan as the eponymous warrior-emperor who united India with immense bloodshed in the third century BC before devoting himself to the formalisation of Buddhism as a religion and spreading it throughout Asia.
		Most disappointing is the relegation of Asoka's work as a religious leader to a few printed lines that precede the final credits.

	JS Online: This character is no teddy bear
		With his bear-size and baritone voice, actor Patrick Warburton is best known for a slew of dimwitted, lovable characters: David Puddy from "Seinfeld," the voice of the lug Kronk from "The Emperor's New Groove" movie and the title character in the short-lived sitcom "The Tick," based on the superhero comic series.
		But during the filming of "Bright," whose second half is heavily steeped in Buddhist teachings and principles, Warburton learned to appreciate other religions, and, he said, the fortunes in his own life.
		The film was an opportunity for director David Beaird to return to filmmaking - for the first time in 14 years.

	10/19/2003: "Here's that first look at Disney's Home On The* Range*!"
		The animation style is closely tied with that of The Emperor's New Groove, with its very 1950s look, which reminds us of the Studio's 1954 short Pigs Is Pigs.
		Although this trailer announces that "this film is not yet rated", the MPAA has already awarded the completed film a PG, for "brief mild rude humor".
		Follow the link for more pictures, which include looks at the new Disney logo designed to open the film, as well as the cow-stars of the movie (voices include Roseanne, Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly and Sarah Jessica Parker) and their little "Patch Of Heaven" - the farm on which they live.

	African Americans - Blacks in American Film - A historical overview of black filmmaking and the portrayal of blacks in American film.
		Dudley Murphy's film version of Eugene O'Neill's The Emperor Jones was graced with a charming prologue by the black activist and poet James Weldon Johnson that would have eluded O'Neill.
		Several short films attained equal social meaning, among them The St. Louis Blues (1929); Duke Ellington's The Black and Tan Fantasy (1930) and his allegorical Symphony in Black (1934); and Jimmy Mordecai's fable of the black migration from Southern farms to Northern cities, Yamacraw.

	village voice > film > Tony Takitani by Dennis Lim
		Not counting a few stray shorts, film versions of Murakami have been non- existent (apparently he doesn't permit them).
		For this rare attempt, director Jun Ichikawa smartly opts for a distilled minimalism, starting with his choice of source material: a mere wisp of a short story called "Tony Takitani" (which first appeared in English in The New Yorker three years ago).
		Both protagonist and story are barely there, but "Takitani" is Murakami in miniature, a brief, precise inventory of the novelist's themes: cosmic loneliness, the shadow of mortality, jazz, the coincidence of materialist abundance and spiritual barrenness.

	‘The Last Emperor’ (PG-13)
		There's a lot to chew here -- the film lasts two hours and 45 minutes -- but, in the end, it's actually too short.
		The past is a concentrated story of the young emperor, his dealings with the eunuch servants, his tutoring by Reginald Johnston (Peter O'Toole, playing Peter O'Toole) and his questionable dealings with the Japanese-- primarily to maintain his dream of remaining emperor of an independent Manchuria.
		In "The Last Emperor, a sweeping epic about Manchurian emperor Pu Yi, director Bernardo Bertolucci has an overwhelming task.

	Heptune Lorenz-Pulte Jazz and Blues Page
		We are virtually certain that he is the small man who appears in the beginning of the Bessie Smith short, "St. Louis Blues." And recently we found him in the movie Emperor Jones, in which he plays a treasurer.
		There are also appearances by a little man who looks suspiciously like Frankie in many other film shorts with which he was never credited.
		You don't get to see any live action of Cab in "Snow White," which is too bad, but the animation is incredible and, of course, the music is Cab and his Orchestra at their best.

	hybridmagazine.com :: indie counter-culture daily, no secret handshakes.
		In the tradition of films contrived to mythologize inspiring teachers, The Emperor’s Club falls short of making the grade.
		Sadly, the implicit nature of the storytelling present beforehand is lost in this section of the film.
		, The Emperor’s Club has memorable performances, but lacks a cohesive, fully developed narrative structure, so all recommendations must point to video.

	The Emperor's Club- Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews

	DVD Review - The Puppet Films of Jiri Trnka
		In "The Puppet Films of Jiri Trnka" Image Entertainment compiles five of Trnka’s short puppet films, along with the feature "The Emperor’s Nightingale" and an all-too-brief documentary, with rare behind-the-scenes footage of Trnka working his magic.
		Trnka wraps the fairy tale story around the live action tribulations of a boy also born of privilege, but similarly choked by too many "don’ts." Struck with fever, the real boy imagines that his toys awaken and act out the parallel story of the Emperor.
		Finally, with "The Hand," Trnka’s last film makes perhaps his greatest statement about the human condition, as an artist fights a giant hand for the freedom to express himself by sculpting a pot, rather than a tribute in the form of another hand.

	House of Flying Daggers (CHINA 2004)
		House of Flying Daggers is not a film to displace Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it's probably not worthy of the huge critical accolades that Hero got stateside—even though it possesses much more palatable politics than the "imperialism rules" dogma of Zhang Yimou's previous film.
		Towards the end of the Tang Dynasty, the rebel group known as the House of Flying Daggers occupies the attentions of the Emperor's guard.
		The opening set piece at the Peony Pavilion is as visually stunning and enticing as anything you'll see on film this year, and features some physical acting from Zhang Ziyi that's both subtle and dynamic in its graceful beauty.

	March of the Penguins
		The footage of the penguins swimming in 1700 feet of water looking for food is little short of amazing as they hold their breath for fifteen minutes and do everything to avoid the predator leopard seals who see them as a meal.
		The story of the emperor penguins of Antarctica has all the elements of classical drama: romance, tragedy, loss, and the struggle for survival against heavy odds.
		The film tells us that each year they must leave their home in the ocean and march single file to their breeding ground seventy miles away, the place where each of them was born.

	Amadeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amadeus is the title of both a stage play and an Academy Award winning film written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, both loosely based on the lives of the composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri.
		Finally, Mozart's relationship with his father as portrayed in the film seems to be accurate, judging from the subtext of their letters to each other.
		Salieri also humiliates Mozart's wife when she comes to Salieri for aid, and smears Mozart's character with the emperor and the court.

		Feuillade also directed scores of short films featuring the characters Bébé and Bout-de-Zan.
		Feuillade's most successful feature-length serials were Fantômas (1913), which chronicled the diabolical exploits of the "emperor of crime," and Vampires, Les (1915), which trailed a criminal gang led by Irma Vep (Musidora) and was noted for its imaginative use of locations and lyrical, almost surreal style."
		Mindbogglingly prolific French filmmaker of the silent era, Louis Feuillade was the author of more than seven hundred films (mostly serials) between 1906 and 1924.

		Neither film is perfect, but I think they've both given Grandpa something to smile about as he rides a Maker in whatever universe awaited him after ours.
		Undoubtedly, Lady Jessica is my favorite character (Francesca Annis in the film, Saskia Reeves in the miniseries).

		If you haven't had a chance to see the Warner Brothers film "March of the Penguins" yet, and you are at all curious about life as an emperor penguin, I highly recommend it.
		I wish there had been a short 10min feature at the end of the movies showing how the movie was made.
		Every day at noon, the penguins at the Edinburgh Zoo are led on a single-file "march" around the zoo grounds by one of their keepers.
