::: useless films ::: The film was originally titled "Dawn of the Forsaken," which was later changed to "Dusk of the Werewolf." The first draft was around 54 pages long, which was reduced to 33 pages in a second draft. In September of 2002, USELESS FILMS was known as "JSK FILMS," under the head of Ryan Johnson, Eric Stein, and Frank Kotora. The films have gradually become longer, and after directing the first volume of "Lawnmower Man GOLD!" I decided that it would be best if I study the art of acting as thoroughly as possible. www.madbbs.com /users/tjohnson/about.html   (2015 words)

Film Review -- Elizabeth Blanchett is quite good in the role of the monarch and the film is very effective at portraying both her sense of confusion within the cold and oppressive realm of court and her late appearance as one who has forsaken a personal life in favour of being a strong, decisive leader. Although she often proves herself capable of dealing with circumstances at the moment they arise, so much of the film is spent having her ignore the basic question of her and her country's future that her final transformation seems rather rushed. Kapur's sense is one of dark grandeur; it permeates the film with the feeling that the castle, and hence the role of monarch, is much bigger than this one woman. www.interlog.com /~lamedog/film/logs/1998/elizabet.html   (490 words)

Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Forced film: Rebort experiences the last showing of Gigli (Moderate spoilers) Gigli aspires to be some sort of romantic comedy meets gangster film, in the some vein as Married to the Mob (Jonathan Demme, 1988). But this was Gigli, a film chosen not by me, but by Rotten Tomatoes members, and I knew there would be none of that. Still, a promise is a promise and I finally 'dragged myself,' as they say, to the theater late last night — in what turns out to be the final showing in my area, as the film lost over 2,000 theaters this week. www.rottentomatoes.com /vine/showthread.php?t=261753   (2363 words)

City of God (2003): Reviews the city of god is a classic film set in the ghetto of brazil, showing real life events and on-goings, amazing story, has to be a all time favourite of mine, 1st discovered it in film studies at college and thought it was class from the first viewing! In God's ghetto, as in so many of the world's forsaken places, warring armies of infants brandish their weapons of self-destruction, while politicians bluster and inspectors sleep. The film is seductive, disturbing, enthralling -- a trip to hell that gives the passengers a great ride. www.metacritic.com /video/titles/cityofgod   (1102 words)

INTERVIEW: The Six Million Dollar Man Strikes Back; Brad Anderson Survives With Two New Movies No matter; as part of a two-picture deal with Miramax, Anderson went on to write and prep a U.S. remake of the French film "When the Cat's Away." Alas, that deal fell through, leaving the once touted "6 Million Dollar Man" forsaken yet again. Brad Anderson: It's not so much that I'm skeptical of Miramax; I don't think they hold some unique position in terms of how they deal with filmmakers. At Sundance '98, Miramax acquired his second film "Next Stop Wonderland" for a record-breaking $6 million, but then came the reality check: the mini-major forced the writer-director to create a new ending. www.indiewire.com /people/int_Anderson_Brad_010810.html   (1102 words)

MARIO LANZA VIDEOS Some hilarious moments as Mario must be instructed in the fine arts of civility and manners enroute to the film's unforgettable Madame Butterfly finale. More great Lanza singing including his peerless rendition of "The Lord's Prayer" and a sensational "Granada" as the film's finale. Lanza's final film at 38 casts him as a temperamental opera star (what else?) who falls in love with a beautiful deaf girl and dedicates his life to finding a way to help restore her hearing. www.rense.com /excursions/lanza/videolanza1.html   (1102 words)

The Secret Garden -- Judi's Romance in Vintage Film Forum I understand there was a successful 1993 re-make which is probably better known, and in fact spawned a sequal, "Back to the Secret Garden." I must confess I've never seen these two films, nor for that matter read the novel by Francis Hodgson Burnett on which all these movies are based. She enlists the aid of a local farm boy, Dickon (Brian Roper) and with him and Colin they tend the forsaken garden in secret and make it bloom with rich vegetation. I rented a video tape recently of a remarkable MGM production of 1949, "The Secret Garden." It was one of the most magical films I've seen in a long, long time. www.voy.com /31586/2523.html   (1452 words)

kerr.htm Kerr wanted to ensure that the film "was a step above the typical teenage horror genre film, which I think The Forsaken is. It's edgier, much more real, and not a campy movie."It's also pretty graphic, full of sex, nudity and lots of blood.. Smith recalls getting his first lead in a film, simply by having met the head of Screen Gems "who threw the script at me and told me that I'd be perfect for the film. In Dawson's Creek, Kerr Smith plays Jack McPhee, a gay teenager about to embark on another gay relationship, but fans of the 29-year old heartthrob will get to see him in a sexy, bloodsucking vampire flick called The Forsaken, which his biggest fans may never get to even see. www.darkhorizons.com /news9/kerr.htm   (1104 words)

id1878_m.htm The power of this film is not in the strength of its story, rather in the considerable force derived from its absolutely imposing physicality, whether it be the ominous, terrifyingly beautiful natural landscapes or the close-up, forsaken faces of its two leads. As the film progresses, what seemed to be a buddy film becomes a fight for survival, and most of the usual clichés are sidestepped. Instead, the film focuses on their unending attempts to find their way out of the landscape itself, which emerges as a major character, with its foreboding, enveloping canyons and sped-up skies. www.reelmoviecritic.com /Movies20031Q/id1878_m.htm   (700 words)

The Ninth Day: Interview with Director Volker Schlondorff The Ninth Day is full of biblical resonances and imagery: washing of feet; a boy giving bread; a convergence of lines reminiscent (though not the same as) of Christ’s last words from the cross ("God has forsaken us… It is finished… Father, forgive me"); life-saving water that tastes of iron and thus of blood. For German filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff, the appeal of making The Ninth Day, a fact-inspired film about a priest in a Nazi concentration camp who is briefly released, goes back over five decades to Schlöndorff’s film-club days at a Jesuit boarding school, where he first encountered Carl Dreyer’s silent masterpiece, The Passion of Joan of Arc. The Ninth Day comes right on the heels of another German Nazi-themed film, Downfall, in which Schlöndorff’s star, Ulrich Matthes, plays the diametrically opposite role of Nazi propagandist Joseph Göebbels. www.decentfilms.com /commentary/ninthday.html   (2374 words)

phoenixnewtimes.com News God Forsaken City of God native Paulo Lins chronicled his neighborhood's descent into bloodshed and chaos in a massive, 700-page novel, which became the basis for the film. The story is told through the eyes of Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues), who, in the film version, yearns to be a photographer (rather than the writer Lins became, partially because it offered more cinematic possibilities). After a short but snazzy prelude, set in the 1980s, the film jumps back to the 1960s, when Rocket is a sweet, shy child of 8. www.phoenixnewtimes.com /issues/2003-03-06/film.html   (932 words)

A World Apart A World Apart is a stirring, frustrating film that tells both a personal and broad story, which leaves the film slightly unfocused. Caught between childhood and burgeoning adulthood, Molly slowly learns some of the truth, but is still needs the love and attention of her mother, while her mother has forsaken her own children in the fight for a larger cause. Although this keeps the film from achieving true greatness, it is still a moving and powerful story, with an eye-opening performance by May as Molly, whose final confrontation with her mother is absolutely gut-wrenching. www.classicsondvd.com /worldapart.htm   (321 words)

The Mystery of "Gosford Park" Indeed, you may be hard-pressed to find any and may even want to rename the film "God-forsaken Park" but take a stab at it and in a week I will divulge to you my observations. Of course, in a film like "Gosford Park" you may have to ask who is the real detective.

The Popkorn Junkie :: The Forsaken Movie review for the film The Forsaken starring Kerr Smith and Brendan Fehr. Here's the basic plot summary for "The Forsaken" -- Sean (Kerr Smith) is driving through the desert to deliver a car, picks up a hitch-hiker/vampire hunter, meets some vampires, and ends up in danger of becoming a vampire himself. There are some really kitchy moments which would have worked if I could've decided if the film-makers intended them to be kitchy. popkornjunkie.com /reviews/forsaken.html   (533 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Formula 51 at Epinions.com Formula 51 is the kind of film Hollywood churned during the early part of the 90’s, a simple action film that believes itself to be a lot cleverer than it actually is. Originality, smooth storyline and subtlety are all forsaken in the name of big explosions (both machine and human), macho dialogue and implausible twists. If anything, Formula 51 is proof that British movies aren‘t restricted to the romcom genre, with a succession of comic shoot-outs aplenty, punch-ups, explosions, an absolute screamer of a car chase, and drug-fuelled raves all making an appearance, setting about its material with less restraint than any movie recently born on UK shores. So as well as our heroes attempting to sell their formula to big-time Merseyside dealer Iki (Rhys Ifans), they also find themselves harassed by local skinheads (the result of which result in the biggest shit orgy ever witnessed on the big screen), as well as a clunky sub-plot involving Felix and Dakota as ex-lovers. www.epinions.com /content_74600058500   (533 words)

Moviehole.net - Stephen King's The Shining (DVD) Jack [Steven Weber], his wife [Rebecca De Mornay] and young son [the impressive Courtland Mead] have all moved into the forsaken overlook hotel for the winter, with Dad playing the new caretaker. The main difference here is that Kubrick’s film was simply about a man who got crazier and crazier [as the author explains in the DVD Commentary], whilst the book and this mini-series remake centers on a man who is simply driven to insanity by the hotel. This site is in no way connected to an official film studio. www.moviehole.net /reviews/20031108_917.html   (754 words)

Warriors of Heaven and Earth Warriors of Heaven and Earth has been, first and foremost, a labor of love for writer and director He Ping, who first hatched the idea for the film more than 15 years ago and worked on the script on and off throughout this period. Lai Xi and Lt. Li, accompanied by Li’s former posse of soldiers, who have forsaken their peaceful new lives to return to his side, must face the cruelty of the desert, the region's barbaric bandits and the brutality of the overlord’s men before they can finally face one another. The historical background of Warriors of Heaven & Earth is as important and powerful for Chinese viewers as the history of the 20th century is for western viewers of say, David Lean epics such as Lawrence of Arabia or The Bridge on the River Kwai. www.rottentomatoes.com /m/warriors_of_heaven_and_earth/about.php   (1821 words)

The Jazz Singer (1927) The film was remade twice: Warners' and director Michael Curtiz' The Jazz Singer (1952) with Danny Thomas (as Jerry Golding) and Peggy Lee (as Judy Lane), and director Richard Fleischer's The Jazz Singer (1980) with singer-songwriter Neil Diamond in the lead role as the cantor's son with legendary co-star Laurence Olivier as his father. Audiences were wildly enthusiastic when America's favorite jazz singer and superstar Al Jolson (born Asa Yoelson in 1886, not the first choice for the role, and played onstage by George Jessel) broke into song, ad-libbed extemporaneously with his mother at the piano, and proclaimed the famous line to introduce a musical number: Warner Bros.' and director Alan Crosland's The Jazz Singer (1927) is an historic milestone film and cinematic landmark. www.filmsite.org /jazz.html   (1236 words)

deseretnews.com - Movie review: Far and Away Deseret Morning News Web edition You would think this would make the film more personal, that it would give us characters to care about and a story with heart. And the out-of-body experience that passes for the film's ending is so ridiculous you have to see it to believe it. But instead, "Far and Away" is one huge cinematic moment after another and always too aloof and distant to make us care. www.deseretnews.com /movies/view/1,1257,561,00.html   (439 words)

Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] Early one morning, while hunting squirrels in the misty green hills of rural North Carolina, Raymond Toker, the youngest member of the God-forsaken Toker clan and the only one both alive and out of jail, stumbles across a newborn baby, swaddled in a bloody shirt and left to die under a laurel bush. The spirit of Flannery O'Connor hangs heavy over this grim tale of good and evil in the backwoods of North Carolina, but the film is actually an adaptation of a novel by Canadian writer Leon Rooke. Her sensitive direction of a fine cast and Jim Denault's evocative cinematography help compensate for the film's otherwise heavy hand. online.tvguide.com /movies/database/showmovie.asp?MI=42649   (309 words)

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND HER FRIENDS Red is eventually kidnapped by the gypsies in the middle of the night; as the Wolf has forsaken his "pact" with civilization, so has this group of morally ambiguous nomads. Red reprises her theme song from the first film (although the dubbing voice is distinctly different from that of the first film). Red is forced to dance erotically for money in public by the mercenary gypsies, in a telling scene which could also be seen as an apt illustration of the exploitation of children by opportunist entrepreneurs like Murray himself. www.kgordonmurray.com /f06.html   (309 words)

Face (2002) Writer-director Bertha Pan presented with a very keen and sensitive eye on the possible woes and relationships between mother and daughter, grandmother and (teen) granddaughter, and a 'forgotten' mother and her 'forsaken' daughter. "Face" - corresponding to the traditional Chinese family value of 'saving face' - is a poignant film and very much a women's story. The performances of all three women made the film "Face," along with the production effort that brought this 'indie' to fruition. www.imdb.com /title/tt0293146   (553 words)

Three the Hard Way Film Review - Time Out Film Dully predictable, thoroughly gratuitous after the first few minutes as the possibilities for genuine suspense are forsaken in favour of a three-figure body count and several automobile demolition clichés.

Thomas Hibbs on Corpse Bride on National Review Online The film is a Gothic romance which plays marriage off death rather than life. The attractions here are the astonishing look of the film and the surprising seriousness with which it takes marital vows and sacrificial love. Corpse Bride features an arranged betrothal interrupted by the sudden intervention of a forsaken, murdered bride from the other side of the grave. www.nationalreview.com /hibbs/hibbs200509300820.asp   (708 words)
