	Xrays and Luggage - CTX5000 Warning!
		Because your checked luggage may be subjected to these new units, we suggest that you hand-carry your film and request visual inspection.
		I suspect that scanners for hand luggage give much lower doses than medical x-rays; if so, the exposure from flying is comparable to or larger than that from the scanner.
		Your options are >> limited: >> >> Don't carry unprocessed film in checked baggage >> If you must carry large amounts of unprocessed film, contact the >> airline prior to your filight to make inspection arrangements which >> would not involve using the CTX-5000 > >All very well.

	United States Patent: 5,550,397
		The gate electrode of a polysilicon gate MOS transistor--the transistor having either a thin film polysilicon substrate or a bulk monocrystalline substrate--has a pair of contiguous regions: a heavily doped gate electrode region near the source, and a lightly doped gate electrode region near the drain.
		The left-hand edge of the gate electrode region 32.1 is aligned with the fight-hand edge of the source region 11, and the right-hand edge of the gate electrode region 32.3 is aligned with the left-hand edge of the drain region 13.
		In order to fabricate the transistor structure 100, in an illustrative case, an amorphous silicon film of uniform thickness is deposited everywhere on the top surface of the insulating substrate 10--typically at a temperature in the approximate range of 500.degree.

	Film Great British hope
		In one sense, Young is in a fortunate position as far as Cannes is concerned: her short film, Second Hand, won the Cinéfondation film school prize back in 1999, and such an award practically assures a favourable response to a debut feature.
		Second Hand, a quiet, introspective story of a schoolgirl who has stolen a school uniform from a second-hand sale, was actually made as part of Young's coursework at Lodz film school - the renowned Polish training academy - where she spent five years after leaving university in Scotland.
		She's looking forward to the official screening of her film later in the afternoon ("It's not an evening do, thank God, so we don't have to dress up"), but seems strangely unperturbed by the fuss that is surrounding her film.

	Canyon Cinema, Inc.
		This film is a hand-painted combination of shapes which suggest, as appropriately colored, jungle, open veldt, horizontals of grasses, shag-shape yellow of lion's mane, the black & white stripes of the zebra, the eyes, the teeth, the tearing open into raw blood-red meat and curve of bone.
		This hand-painted step-printed film begins with streaks of glare light and vibrantly colored forms apparently in the sky forinasmuch as there appears, frame center, the tapered shape of a tower, a silhouette as it were against the backdrop of the flaring sky.
		This is a hand-painted, step-printed (with a variety of effects) film which begins with rock-like earth-toned shapes in darkness, followed by increasingly lighter pastel-colored mini-boulder forms to the right and left of the frame mimicking a whitish vertical tunneling (giving the illusion the viewer is moving upward, finally).

	The Fly (1958)
		I won't reveal the shocking surprise (the guy has a fly head and and a fly arm) but suffice it to say the doctor spends a good portion of the rest of the movie with a towel over his head and his hand in his pocket.
		His fly hand tries to stop his human hand from writing to his wife, but in a touching scene he is able to spell out in chalk that he loves her and she needs to drop an industrial press on his prickly head.
		She don't speak Fly and his head that speaks English is in a spider's web in the garden screaming for help.

	OpinionJournal - Leisure & Arts
		Canemaker is professor, director of the animation program at New York University Tisch School of the Arts and the author of "Walt Disney's Nine Old Men and the Art of Animation." His new hand-drawn animated film "The Moon and the Son" premiered at MoMA this year and will air on Cinemax in 2006.
		In those animated features from Japan and other countries, the computer has been a boon to the hand-made drawing, enabling animators to scan their drawings for digital coloring and tweaking, or to draw directly on an electronic tablet, and integrate drawings with CGI characters and effects.
		From the minds and hands of many artists sprang marvels of imagination: In addition to Mickey Mouse, there were three resourceful little pigs who inspired a Depression-era nation; balletic hippos, crocodiles and mushrooms; a prince slaying a fire-breathing dragon; a puppet wishing to become a real boy; and a rambunctious duck with a short fuse.

	02/08/2005: "New Film Shows Demise Of Disney's Hand-Drawn Animation"
		The film will be screened this Thursday in Minneapolis, a day before the annual Disney shareholder meeting.
		The Associated Press, via Twin Cities local news station WCCO, has written an article on Dan Lund's 40-minute documentary, Dream On Silly Dreamer, which covers the closing of Disney's 75-year-old hand-drawn animation department.
		"Lund said he hopes Disney shareholders see his nostalgic look at the end of Disney's in-house hand-drawn animation and then go to the meeting 'with a sense of loss' and tell management 'maybe that division means more than just a financial thing.'"

	felafel.htm
		He Died With A Felafel In His Hand is not, however, a carbon copy of other Australian films, the content of the film is original and the style of it is thoroughly distinctive.
		As it stands, “He Died With A Felafel In His Hand” is a complex film written by Richard Lowenstein and based on the book by John Birmingham.
		From there, we are treated to more bizarre events of the share-house kind and throughout the film, Danny is trying to be a writer whilst also struggling to figure out life, love and the meaning of existence.

	DVD Verdict Review - I Wanna Hold Your Hand
		I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Zemeckis's first film, has wackiness and exuberance to spare—it shows clear signs of the director finding his way over the next decade and a half.
		The similarities to Zemeckis's later output, however, are pretty much nonexistent—aside from some clever manipulation combining historical reality with cinematic fantasy (which he would put to greater use in Forrest Gump, the film that most solidifies the turning point in his career), there is little evidence to indicate the direction Zemeckis's career would eventually take.
		Postman" and "Money (That's What I Want)." Still, in a film that revolves around the Fab Four, it's good to hear so many of their songs on the soundtrack.

	The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Movie Review
		THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE is a suspense film, not a horror film.
		On a zero to five scale I give THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE a five.
		So, see this film, in the theater, for it will not be as spooky on a television screen.

	DVDAnswers.com - DVD Reviews - He Died With A Felafel In His Hand (Region 4)
		Coupled with a decent audio and video mix and despite a practically bare-bones disc, He Died With A Felafel In His Hand is a must see film and a worthy addition to any collection.
		There’s nothing going on but at the same time everything is happening, all ending up in Sydney where things come loosely together when he dies with a felafel in his hand.
		Based loosely on the novel by John Birmingham, He Died With A Felafel In His Hand has earned its fair share of criticism for not staying true to the novel.

	CultureDose.net - Richard Lowenstein - 2001 - He Died with a Felafel in His Hand Movies Review
		As Danny goes through a progression of physical chaos, to emotional chaos, to possible redemption, He Died with a Felafel in His Hand goes beyond many failed similar projects, succeeding largely due to the collaborative efforts of its ensemble cast, screenwriting, and camera work.
		From the opening tracking shot of a late night music video channel with The Stranglers playing “Golden Brown” as a dead man blankly stares at the screen, it's evident that He Died with a Felafel in His Hand will not prove to be an ordinary comedy.
		Based loosely on John Birmingham's 1994 novel about the under 30's generation seeking its identity, the quirky independent Australian film has appeared at a few film festivals since its 2001 release, but is finally available in the U.S. on DVD through Film Movement.

	Shoah (film review)
		In the main camp at Auschwitz, Lanzmann filmed the crematory where the tourists are shown, on the one hand, the crematory room and, on the other hand, an adjacent room called a gas chamber (in reality, a room for bodies awaiting cremation).
		In the film, Müller describes how victims sang the Czech national hymn and the Jewish hymn, the "Hatikva." He is inspired here by an "eyewitness account" according to which the victims sang the Polish national hymn and the "Hatikva" until the two songs blended into...
		Their refusal to become interested in the film Shoah would be, if confirmed, a first sign of the younger generation's rejection of the official mythology, at least about the Second World War and its results.

	God of Filmmaking Oliver Stone Director of Scarface, The Doors, Platoon
		The Hand (1981) This film is about a comic book artist who looses his hand in a car accident.
		The film is based from the stage musical by the same name and is about Peron's life; from her difficult childhood to her political triumph.
		The film is a remake of the 1932 movie of the same name, but in the original it's bootlegged liquor, not drugs.

	JFK
		The film invcludes a paradox: On the one hand, in the manner of a teacher, Stone wants the audience to follow his linear story-line and argument, on the other hand, he simultaneously counters this by the ‘content of the form’, the nonlinear montage of the film.
		JFK echoes this shift with its narrative as well as its form: "From the moment Garrison and his Assistant D.A. go to Napoleon's Bar to watch the televised reports on the assassination until the end of the film the media, in particular television, are ever-present.
		When JFK was released it caused a controversial debate whether Stone's film distorted history and was a piece of paranoid propaganda or whether it should be given the same historical status as the report of the Warren Commission.

	Everything you always wanted to know about Film
		Originally moving picture film was shot at various speeds using hand-cranked cameras; then the speed for mechanized cameras and projectors was standardized at 16 frames per second, which was faster than much existing hand-cranked footage.
		Improvements since the late 1800s include the mechanization of cameras, allowing them to record at a consistent speed, the invention of more sophisticated filmstocks and lenses, allowing directors to film in increasingly dim conditions, and the development of synch sound, allowing sound to be recorded at exactly the same speed as its corresponding video.
		Most films shown in the United States are rated under a voluntary rating system instituted by the Motion Picture Association of America:

	John Woo Biography
		Woo said "it was a great honor to be able to do the movie...most directors were in their forties and I was still in my twenties." Hand of Death was also important for introducing Woo's ideals about dictators and revolutionaries (as shown by Woo's character) and brotherhood and loyalty (shown by Chan's character).
		Woo was forced to shoot another ending (which, ironically, still had the same result but in a more "action-packed" way), but even so the studio took the movie from Woo's hand and did their own edit.
		Woo's innovative editing techniques, such as the use of "wipes" and freeze-frames (which were considered by many American editors to be "hokey" and "too TV") have also become mainstays of American action cinema, as has Woo's use of slow-motion to add dramatics to his action sequences.

		The first “Species” film was a fun boys-own-monster movie with a great high-calibre cast and some tricky effects, “Species 3”, on the other hand (not unlike “Species 2”), offers a template that’s as paper-thin as a school newspaper.
		Having ‘Robin Dunne’ crawled on artwork is soon gone to be a tip-off that the film on hand is a junky straight to video sequel.
		“Species 3” kicks off where the last film left off - The female creature (Natasha Henstridge in her cameo) is supposedly dead and being returned to an army base for an autopsy and analysis.

	Sneakers (1992)
		It has been many years since I saw this film last but I was quite pleased to find that all the things that made it enjoyable back in 1992 were still in effect and, despite the jumps in technology, it has not really dated at all.
		With the film focusing on the slick motion of the story Kingsley can't do much with the tragic and he ends up being a average "bad guy" despite the occasional interesting touch.
		Kingsley's Cosmo is a strange mix – on one hand he is a poorly developed twist in the story with a strange Goodfellas-lite accent but on the other hand he is a tragic character, cut adrift by a mix of noble aspiration and bitterness.
