	In-Laws,The London Movie Review
		The In-Laws has the credit “Based on the screenplay by Andrew Bergman”, which is a fancy way of saying it’s a remake of a little-seen 1979 film that starred Alan Arkin and Peter Falk.
		The film opens with CIA Agent Michael on a Top Secret Mission, thereby robbing the audience of the suspicion later on that his CIA claims might be a crazy fantasy, as was the point of the original movie.
		However, it’s been more or less re-tooled so that now it might has well be called The Michael Douglas Vanity Project, although if your Michael Douglas / Albert Brooks tolerance is high enough, then there are a few laughs to be had here.

		With the release of Maula Jat in 1979 which tells the story of its eponymous hero's blood feud with the local Gangster Nuri Nath the 1980s saw the rise of the video, and growing censorship, among other factors, slowly killed off the Urdu film industry.
		He became the first choice of any Punjabi film producer after the great success of film "Wehshi Jatt" in 1975, it was an action film with to much violence and a new era of Punjabi films.

	Érudit Cine v12 n3 2002 : Musser : Utopian Visions in Cold War Documentary : Joris Ivens, Paul Robeson and Song of the Rivers (1954)
		Ivens employs a variety of filming methods but one of the most persistent and effective is the hidden camera, which Vertov often advocated in his manifestos.
		Ivens was in Paris when the Dutch invalidated his passport and told the filmmaker to return to the Netherlands.
		Each section of Ivens’ film modifies Pudovkin’s trope by ending with shots of the open sea.

	Film - May 22, 2003
		The new movie The In-Laws, starring Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks, purports to be a remake of the 1979 movie with Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, but beyond the title and the credit to Andrew Bergman for the original film’s screenplay, any connection between the two is slight.
		The original The In-Laws was the ideal candidate for a remake: It had its moments, but anyone setting out to do it again would hardly be treading on hallowed ground.
		Bergman’s script was a variation on the fable of the city mouse and the country mouse, but with a difference: It was a fable of two different kinds of city mice, the kind who seem to meet up only in movie farces.

	Tales of Hoffman - Steal This Movie! turns Abbie Hoffman into the civil liberties hero he never was. By Jared Hohlt
		Although Raskin says that Hoffman dealt cocaine for about two years before his 1974 arrest, Lefcourt alleges that Hoffman's bust was the unfortunate result of a "lark": Hoffman, perhaps with an eye toward a book, wanted to explore some outlaw activity before New York state's new strict Rockefeller drug laws went into effect.
		The film doesn't gloss over Hoffman's numerous romantic liaisons, as wife Anita (Janeane Garofalo) acknowledges his extramarital adventures in the film.
		In the film, as in life, Hoffman and compatriots nominate a pig named Pigasus for president and also end up in a bloody, nationally televised fight with police over control of a city park.

	Guardian Unlimited Film Interviews Interview: Bela Tarr, Hungarian director
		Tarr made his first short film at 16, and directed his first feature, Family Nest, in 1979 - an uncomfortable miniature about a young woman forced to live with her boorish in-laws due to Hungary's extreme housing shortage.
		Tarr was particularly praised by Susan Sontag, who numbered his films among those "heroic violations of the norms" on which cinema's future may depend.
		That scene, Tarr insists, was done humanely under a vet's supervision, and the cat is healthy and living with him and Hranitzky outside Budapest.

	VH1.com : Movies : Person : Peter Falk : Biography
		After 1979's The In-Laws, he starred two years later in...All the Marbles, but was then virtually absent from the screen for the next half decade.
		Falk continued to work in both film and television for the rest of the decade, starring in various Columbo specials, appearing with Woody Allen in the made-for-TV The Sunshine Boys in 1997, and playing a bar owner caught up in mafia dealings in 1999's The Money Kings.
		A diminutive, stocky, and unkempt presence, Falk's early screen roles often portrayed him as a blue-collar type or as a thug; it was as the latter in 1960's Murder Inc. that he earned a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination, a major career boost.

		Weibel was an early and eloquent champion of a theory of media and communication, which he repeatedly applied in investigating the inherent laws and mechanisms of the various media.
		His subjects are less body-oriented, however, and deliver from a media-specific and semiological viewpoint socially critical analyses of systems and machines like film, television, and the visual arts.

	Welcome to the Jungle - www.theage.com.au
		Writers R.J. Stewart and James Vanderbilt and director Peter Berg haven't made a film in the same league as Romancing the Stone or The In-Laws (the 1979 original), but Welcome to the Jungle is doing its best to work the same adventure-comedy territory - and enjoying the ride.
		But that's exactly what's on show in Welcome to the Jungle, a lively and affable movie with deftly handled action sequences and confident comic performances.
		The Rock looks more comfortable in a suit, however, than the Governor of California ever has and he has a more wryly self-deprecating way with a line.

	MoMA.org 2003 Film and Media Exhibitions John Cassavetes
		Cassavetes took over the direction of this film a week or so into production, and turned the reunion of the stars of The In-Laws (1979), Falk and Arkin, into what the New York Times critic Vincent Canby called “an intelligent, sometimes blissfully funny comedy” about a hapless insurance salesman.
		Cassavetes made Love Streams knowing that he was dying of cancer, and while this autumnal film may refer to other films of his, it stands alone as poignant testimony to the redemptive and crushing power of love.
		In 1959, young New York television and film actor Cassavetes began shooting a series of improvised situations with friends in and around the city (including MoMA’s Sculpture Garden), and ended by making the seminal American independent feature Shadows.

		Hirsch has been the bane of Rocketdyne since 1979, when he was a lecturer at UCLA and one of his students showed him an instructional film that depicted workers at the Simi Valley facility cleaning up after the 1959 reactor meltdown, despite the company's rosy press release.
		Rocketdyne earned another dubious honor when it was fined $6.5 million for three counts of violating federal environmental laws-the largest such payout in U.S. history.
		Rocketdyne has inadvertently and deliberately leaked a plethora of radioactive and chemical poisons into the environment since it first opened SSFL in 1946.
