stigmata The film then switches gears and goes to the contrasting opulence of the Vatican and the poverty of the Brazil village, where the faithful flock to the miracle church. This film should be seen as an opportunity for the church to see what those who are critical of it are saying and they should not be afraid of the truth, even if it might mean that they have to change. The filmmakers have not disavowed the institution of the church or belief in a God, but just question its search for truth. www.sover.net /~ozus/stigmata.htm   (1898 words)

'Babe' With its population of talking beasts and "Animal Farm"-derived themes, the film is aimed at the whole family, but is a must-see for wee Orwellians. Babe is adopted by patrician border collie Fly (voice of Miriam Margolyes), and though his new mother advises Babe on his proper place in the farm hierarchy, the piglet yearns for more than a rut and a slop-filled trough. Babe is still crying over the loss when, through a fortuitous series of events, he winds up at the fairy-tale farm of Arthur Hoggett (James Cromwell), a lanky sheep herder who is as taciturn as Babe is gregarious. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/babegkempley_c026cc.htm   (491 words)

Movies into Film Constant suffering runs rampant in both films, yet the miseries endured by the Country Priest and his flock were rooted in character, in situations, and in a sense of what David Hume calls inexplicable mystery. The film opened March 19th for a limited run at the Varsity in Seattle. Let me conclude, though, with Miss Haskell’s statements about the martyred donkey’s brief career as a circus act, “…when Balthazar eyeballs the circus animals in their cages, and we glimpse that mutual recognition that both includes and excludes us…We are on the threshold of understanding everything, and are then confounded by mystery. www.moviesintofilm.com /balthazar.htm   (491 words)

Valiant Film Review - Time Out Film Valiant and his new flock of friends have hardly finished pre-flight training when news comes in of another failed RHPS attempt to get past the Nazis’ Channel-based falcon squad. This may be the first that the latest generation will have seen or heard of the war, so you could say there’s a modicum of educational value in it, albeit of the cute anthropomorphic sort. Can the audacious Valiant, his heroic leader Gutsy and the rest arrive safely in France, meet the Resistance (a gang of field mice) and return without losing their feathers? www.timeout.com /film/81584.html?cinema_id=290   (261 words)

Film Treatment The film is about Mark and his deepening relationship with the wild flock. In the final act of the film, a construction permit is tacked to the outside of Mark’s cottage. The film flashes back to show who Mark is, how he came to North Beach drawn by the music scene, cheap artists’ housing, and Beat poetry, and, eventually, how he became involved with the parrots. www.pelicanmedia.org /filmtreatment.html   (973 words)

Corpus: A Home Movie About Selena / Films & Videos Section - The Films & Videos of Lourdes Portillo The film opens with the images that first brought Selena to the attention of many English-speakers: Gritty shots from Spanish-language news crews of her killer, Yolanda Saldivar, in a stand-off with police after the shooting, followed by shots from the funeral. Portillo spent a year on the film, drawn to her subject by the obvious story elements, by Selena's enduring appeal to poor Latinos and by the dichotomy of her legacy. Selena herself moves through the film via video and home movie snippets. www.lourdesportillo.com /flmcorpus.html   (839 words)

Secretary movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review The film won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival for originality this year and is being released by Lions Gate Films. Secretary is a film that I don't believe all audiences will flock to or enjoy. The film opens with young Lee Holloway being released from a mental hospital after receiving treatment for self-mutilation. www.thezreview.co.uk /reviews/s/secretary.shtm   (818 words)

Film Threat - Reviews George Romero’s 1979 masterpiece “Dawn of the Dead” is one of the greatest horror films of all time - a brilliant horror-satire that combined gruesome effects and exploding body parts with a social commentary about Vietnam, racism and urban decay in America in the 1970s. I think Romero did this, in “Dawn of the Dead” especially, to illustrate the predictable and sloppy monotony of us humans particularly when it came to the zombies’ neural consumer impulse to flock to a shopping mall long after their brains had been turned to mush. This film gets the audience’s attention with its sense of mass carnage and extreme violence - most notably in a scene where a kid gets killed - and makes us believe that the most horrific things are possible which is the main reason, I think, why the film works so well. www.filmthreat.com /Reviews.asp?Id=5874   (1308 words)

MAKE A LOW BUDGET MOVIE .COM Representatives of movie studios and film distribution companies flock to these festivals in search of the next great, small film that is often hidden under the veil of a low-budget. Sure, film festival organizers love having the celebrities show up at their festivals to give them publicity, but the film distributors all know that the real deals to be had are amongst the ranks of the films made by unknown filmmakers. Although the film industry is a merging of story-telling and commerce, the story-telling part has always been the most important half of the equation for the audience. www.makealowbudgetmovie.com   (3400 words)

The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill: The Film Although he is no scientist and this is not a "nature film," Mark becomes something of an expert himself as he consults local birders, and as he feeds, names, studies, and protects the cherry-headed conures--escaped pets who have begun to breed in the wilds of the city. The film celebrates urban wildness, Bohemian and avian, and links the parrots' antics to human behavior. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is the true story of a Bohemian St. Francis and his remarkable relationship with a flock of wild green-and-red parrots. www.pelicanmedia.org /Film.html   (223 words)

Cypher Listing at Box Office Prophets He follows up that interesting film with another thriller, but this time he breaks out of the confines of the mysterious box. It sounds like this one will have a limited theatrical release in the U.S., but if past performance is any indicator audiences should flock to their local video store if they miss it on the big screen. Since its world premiere at the SITGES Film Festival on October 7, 2002, it has been winning critical acclaim from audiences and critics alike. www.boxofficeprophets.com /tickermaster/listing.cfm?TMID=1020   (308 words)

channel4.com/film - Valiant Valiant definitely has its moments, but they're few and far between - and with so many CG cartoons now filling our cinemas, that's not enough to make it stand out from the flock. Gradually, though, it becomes clear that there simply isn't enough story to sustain a cartoon even of this limited duration (it clocks in at 75 minutes).

Cool Runnings is slapstick, but inspirational The filming of bobsledders in the night is especially surreal, and the final scene, in particular, evokes a majesty all its own. Though the film indeed recycles material seen in many other similar films, it is only because the material is so appealing. I saw the film with the expectation that the producers would exploit the Jamaican bobsled racers. www-tech.mit.edu /V113/N46/runnings.46a.txt.html   (771 words)

Rick There was barely enough room in the cozy, wood-paneled cubbyhole to accommodate Rick's overflowing desk, not to mention the imposing actor, the camera crew and a dense flock of overhead lights put into place by the cinematographer, Lisa Rinzler ("Pollock"). Wall Street is quiet on the weekends but not nearly as quiet as film production has been in New York since 9/11. "Rick" will be the first feature directed by Curtiss Clayton, a film editor whose many credits in the independent film community include "Drugstore Cowboy" (1989), "To Die For" (1995) and "Buffalo '66" (1998). billpullman.org /film/rick/rick.htm   (612 words)

Microsoft goes Hollywood with 'Halo' film deal - TechSpot OpenBoards The film is slated to appear in the summer of 2007. Microsoft's popular Halo Xbox game is going from the TV screen to the big screen, after two studios agreed to produce a film featuring the game's cyborg hero Master Chief. I probably wouldn't go and see Halo in the theaters, but many fans will still probably flock to it. www.techspot.com /vb/topic32159.html   (408 words)

eThekwini Online - Beaches Home Page During holiday seasons visitors flock to the beaches, which are, all protected by shark nets and served by lifeguards. As you walk along the beach early in the morning, you may see a group of white robed worshippers practicing their traditional devotions.

The Birds (1963) On an allegorical level, the birds in the film are the physical embodiment and exteriorization of unleashed, disturbing, shattering forces that threaten all of humanity (those threatened in the film include schoolchildren, a defenseless farmer, bystanders, a schoolteacher, etc.) when relationships have become insubstantial, unsupportive, or hurtful. Numerous allusions to blindness are sprinkled throughout the film (the farmer's eyes are pecked out, the children play blindman's bluff at the birthday party, the broken glasses of the fleeing schoolchild, etc.), giving the hint that the camera's voyeuristic lens (and its screen-viewing audience) is also being subjected to assault. The attacks are mysteriously related to the mother and son relationship in the film - anger (and fears of abandonment or being left lonely) of the jealous, initially hostile mother surface when her bachelor son brings home an attractive young woman. www.filmsite.org /bird.html   (2453 words)

Rollerball 2002 DVD film movie trailer review at The Z Review Rollerball 2002 In centuries past, people would flock to violent spectator sports to watch contestants stage bloody battles to appease the bloodlust of the public. The film was edited to get a PG-13 rather than an R rating, but I doubt that the inclusion of nudity and violence would have been enough to save this dud. While one segment of the film was shot with night vision lenses, it was far to little innovation to save what could have been an entertaining film. www.moviereviewindex.com /getreview/61688   (2453 words)

Independent Filmmaking by Filmmakers.com That's why studio executives and venture capitalists with open checkbooks flock to Sundance film festivals, multimedia conventions and the Internet. Unless an independent film has won praise at one of the major independent film festivals or has been lucky enough to be recognized by a major awards ceremony, the majority of independent films never make it beyond small theater distribution. Channels such as the Sundance channel, Bravo and the Independent Film Channel are devoted to free spirited independent films and other related features. www.filmmakers.com /features/indies/independent_film.htm   (2453 words)

Hour.ca - Film - Movie details - Ice Age There are other great scenes, such as where a flock of doomsday dodos prepare for the upcoming deep freeze by hoarding a measly 3 melons, or where the gang goes on a slippery ride through a mountain. Ice Age is the story of how a mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano), a sloth (John Leguizamo), and a sabretooth tiger (Dennis Leary) return a baby human to its herd. Ice Age is no doubt one of the funniest animated movie ever made. www.hour.ca /film/movie.aspx?iIDFilm=2841   (2473 words)

Modern Times (1936) The foreword explains the film's theme: "'Modern Times.' A story of industry, of individual enterprise - humanity crusading in the pursuit of happiness." The film opens with an overhead shot of a flock of sheep jostling in their sheep pen, and rushing through a chute. In one of the film's great opening scenes, the conveyor belt sequence, a masterpiece of choreography, the Tramp is a factory worker (Charlie Chaplin) whose job it is to tighten bolts on an endless series of machine parts - he is a small cog in the factory that exploits its workers. He orders one of his foremen, in the first synchronized speech in the film to hurry production on the line: "Section 5 - speed 'er up - 41." www.filmsite.org /mode.html   (2473 words)

ThePoop.com - Dogs On Film: Dr. Dolittle While all the film makers embraced the opportunities that these effects would afford, it would be an understatement to say that Betty Thomas found her first foray into the world of visual effects a little daunting, "Every effects shot is different, presenting its own problem," explains Thomas. But Dr. Dolittle's new four-legged patients are overjoyed with their new healer and flock to his home and office. DOLITTLE marks Farhat's second collaboration with Murphy, having supervised the memorable effects on "The Nutty Professor." 'The earlier film provided at least one valuable lesson for DR. DOLITTLE. www.thepoop.com /mediahounds/dolittle   (1475 words)

Guardian Unlimited Film Features Air craft Hence the film acts an attack on the props of Eisenhower-era femininity, one of Hitchcock's long-term preoccupations. How book and film compare: According to Hunter, Hitchcock told him: "We're throwing away everything except the title, and the notion of birds attacking human beings." The original's austerity-era English setting was changed to the Californian resort of Bodega Bay, just north of San Francisco. For Hitchcock, however, The Birds was his last unarguable success - its follow-up, Marnie (1964), also starring Hedren, was a box-office failure. film.guardian.co.uk /adaptation/story/0,12830,1277788,00.html   (550 words)

BBC NEWS World Asia-Pacific Crowds flock to film star funeral The carriage bearing his coffin took five hours to reach Manila North Cemetery, and was pulled by his favourite horse, a co-star from some of his 200 films. Thousands of mourners poured onto the streets of the Philippines capital for the funeral of film star-turned-presidential contender Fernando Poe Jr. Poe, who believed he was cheated of an election win after coming within 3% of President Gloria Arroyo, died of a stroke last week. news.bbc.co.uk /go/click/rss/0.91/public/-/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4116719.stm   (550 words)

FilmCAN:Movie Reviews: The Replacements Said word of mouth should be quite positive, as the film itself is very funny, and works well on almost every level, easily getting any sports fanatic worth his or her wool into the mood for the pigskin parade to follow. That alone should guarantee THE REPLACEMENTS a solid opening weekend (not to mention the fact that the ever put-upon sports wives will flock to see a sweaty Keanu Reeves), after which word of mouth will take over.

Swans Commentary: Ideas, opinions, thoughts... and a flock of Swans Playwright and film maker Neil LaBute has come up with a "beaut" of a play which explores the way this social stigma wrecks lives and inflicts misery -- not only among overweight social pariahs, but also among those sensitive and misguided souls who occasionally fall for them. We remain a nation of blubbery, flabby, bovine, and overfed mammals who shudder in horror at the appalling reflections thrown back in our bathroom mirrors. Charles Marowitz is an author of over two dozen books and numerous essays and articles. www.swans.com   (2377 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: Melies the Magician (1997) But in either case, lovers of Disney and fantasy films in general should flock to this, as Meleis was the grand master who strarted it all. A special-effects innovator best known for his 1902 film A Trip to the Moon, Méliès is honored by Jacques Mény's exceptional documentary, which uses faithful reenactments, archival documents, expert interviews, and Méliès's own films to examine a life as rich as Edison's in its embrace of invention and creative ingenuity. A man who maybe saved the early film industry from failure, Melies is really only appreciated by his home country of France today. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005UM26?v=glance   (2377 words)
