Jennifer Connelly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer (1991) similarly failed to ignite Connelly's career. Jennifer Connelly in the 1991 film The Rocketeer Another film, Career Opportunities, was more successful and is considered a teen cult classic though it, and Hot Spot threatened to typecast her in the "sexpot" stereotype with both films emphasizing her voluptuous figure, particularly Hot Spot which contained her first topless scene. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jennifer_Connelly   (856 words)

Filmtracks: X2: X-Men United (John Ottman) X2: X-Men United: (John Ottman) The first X-Men film was blockbuster of immense proportions, drawing in over $300 million for Fox worldwide and leading to a series of other comic-to-screen adaptations. For the sequel, Fox decided to set a record by globally releasing the film on the same date in 93 nations, saturating the market with nearly 9,000 prints of the film. For the X-Men franchise, unlike other well known film series, he had little to expand upon from Kamen's original. www.filmtracks.com /titles/x2.html   (2056 words)

Spider-Man (2002) Raimi's love of old cinema shines through, and despite the flashy, but essential, CGI (how else are you going to make a man move like a spider?!), it is as gloriously old-fashioned a film as I've seen since The Rocketeer, which was also a great comic-book adaptation. This film has been delayed in its release for a couple of reasons, major re-editing due to scenes involving the Twin Towers and of course the release of Attack of the Clones. cannot wait until the next film is out, hopefully it will explain the confusing ending which makes everyone want to see the next. www.cinemascreen.co.uk /filmdata/filmdata.asp?filmid=3646   (977 words)

A Mitch Davis Film: The Other Side of Heaven (2001) As a member of Disney's "creative group," Davis was involved in the development of such films as "Newsies," "Rocketeer" and "White Fang." But he also got started down a path he wanted nothing to do with -- corporate Hollywood. All that for a film made by actors and filmmakers who, although clearly talented, were relatively unknown at the time, in a genre that had not previously existed. John Groberg, the film's main character is currently a Seventy; consequently, his friends, family and peers were invited to a screening as a courtesy. www.ldsfilm.com /OSOH/OtherSideOfHeaven.html   (5441 words)

Mark Dindal's Place in the Sun The eye-catching 47-second animated sequence in the midst of Disney's 1991 live-action adventure film The Rocketeer was actually the work of Mark Dindal, a creative and ambitious young staffer at the Disney feature animation studio. The 1997 film, a funny and heartfelt valentine to the golden age of movie musicals, lived up to the promise of that one photograph. By the end of the film Danny has bested evil child star Darla Dimple, put an end to the second class status endured by animal actors and won the heart of the beautiful Sawyer, the wistful cat in the above-mentioned publicity still. www.awn.com /mag/issue5.08/5.08pages/strikedindal.php3   (181 words)

Biography for Mitch Davis (I) Following graduation, Davis was hired as a creative executive at Disney where he worked on such films as _Dead Poet's Society (1989)_, _White Fang (1991)_, Rocketeer, The (1991), and Newsies (1992). Mitch Davis graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in English and continued his studies with a Master of Arts in filmmaking at the University of Southern California. In 1995, Davis wrote and co-directed the Disney Channel film, "Windrunner." That film provided an excellent segue into his next picture, 2001's release of "The Other Side of Heaven." Davis describes the making of that film as the realization of an impossibly large dream. 207.171.166.140 /name/nm0205199/bio   (761 words)

But he also got started down a path he wanted nothing to do with -- corporate Hollywood. Davis, whose previous film was a 1995 feature for the Disney Channel, "Windrunners," initially thought about making a film about his own missionary experience when a friend suggested that he adapt the novel instead. Davis said the budget for the movie was only $7 million, but it looks like a $30 million film. www.ldsfilm.com /OSOH/OtherSideOfHeaven.html   (761 words)

Sky Captain and the Blimp Week of Tomorrow :: mike.whybark.com Unlike Indy or The Rocketeer, however, Sky Captain is also trying to recreate the cinematic experience of watching a film shot between 1925 and 1940, and goes to great lengths to emulate the visual experience of the older films. Both Sky Captain and The Rocketeer are fascinated by that long-vanished dinosaur of the sky, the dirigible, and provide contemporary audiences with the closest thing we’ll ever have to seeing the faceted, fragile leviathans slide by our wondering eyes. It seems probable, however, that the specialized visual content and production processes of Sky Captain open additional revenue possibilities for the film, and the sheer visual and referential density of the piece will lend itself well to DVD (and, one hopes, to video game). mike.whybark.com /archives/001827.html   (761 words)

RollingStone.com: Brenda Starr Review The plot's unfortunate resemblance to Disney's vastly superior "Rocketeer" is further underscored by the presence of Timothy Dalton, whose wickedly funny turn as the Nazi villain in that film only makes his walk-through as Brenda's twitty, eye-patch-wearing love foil, Basil St. John, seem twice as leaden. Rated PG Once upon a time (1986) in a galaxy far, far away (well, Florida and Puerto Rico), Brooke Shields faced the cameras as the redheaded newshound-cum-clotheshorse Brenda Starr, in the film version of Dale Messick's comic strip. The story, set in 1948, focuses on Starr's most dangerous assignment: She must trek to the jungles of South America and track down a former Nazi scientist whose secret formula for a rocket fuel could be used to destroy the world if Starr doesn't beat an army of spies to the punch. www.rollingstone.com /reviews/movie/_/id/5949173   (761 words)

Errol Flynn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The screen-swashbuckler-as-Nazi-spy trope is present in the 1991 Disney film The Rocketeer, featuring Timothy Dalton as the mustachioed villain. He became typecast as a swashbuckler and made a host of such films, including The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) (widely regarded as his best film in this genre and an acknowledged Hollywood classic), Dodge City (1939), The Sea Hawk (1940), and The Adventures of Don Juan (1948). Errol Flynn died of a massive heart attack at the home of a friend on October 14, 1959, at the age of fifty. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Errol_Flynn   (1324 words)

12/31/97: The Great Divide: Titanic and Horner Fandom Redefined Obviously, film music can rarely approach absolute composition in terms of overall sonic construction, but most film composers do what composers do--they organize sound into a largely unique whole. Horner's main theme in the beginning of Titanic is a re-working of his Rocketeer theme. I thought (and still think) that it was musical garbage, but there was something in the content of the songs that spoke to her and her experiences, and that generated her response. www.filmscoremonthly.com /articles/1997/31_Dec---Titanic_and_Horner_DA.asp   (1283 words)

Filmtracks: Coming Soon: John Beal Trailer Project This happens when film producers approach Beal with sound samples from, for instance, The Rocketeer or JFK and say, "we want something like this." Or, to Beal's credit, he sometimes seems to work very small parts of famous scores into his original works to satisfy the mood needed in the trailer. Considering the quickly bloating prices of licencing fees --some of which in the hundreds of thousands of dollars-- it is no surprise that film producers are turning to artists like John Beal to produce quality original music for these frantic 2-minute creations. Within the space of those two minutes, Beal manages to capture the given mood of a scene, conveys the energy of the story, and captivates the interest of an audience using a remarkable variety of styles. www.filmtracks.com /titles/beal_previews.html   (1055 words)

Filmtracks: The Rocketeer (James Horner) The film is a whimsical account of a comic book hero in a pre-WWII era of adventure and innocence, with the very notion of a rocket propelled man bringing excitement to the comic and now the big screen. Horner uses a veriety of percussion for The Rocketeer --most of it light-natured-- and the very storybook personality of his music is encompassed by that percussion in the first track. The Rocketeer: (James Horner) One of Horner's truly outstanding efforts, The Rocketeer is a bridge between his early, brass heavy scores and his more recent trend of the melodic string variety. www.filmtracks.com /titles/rocketeer.html   (857 words)

Movie-Warehouse.com - DVD Herbie Goes Bananas "Herbie Goes Bananas", my friends, was apparently the beginning of a new Era of live-action Disney cinema -- the era of bad Disney live-action cinema which still continues on today, minus a few shining films such as "The Rocketeer" and "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids". Whilst Herbie Goes Bananas certainly has a few bright spots, the film as a whole is a rather nondescript affair which sees Herbie the Volkswagen Beatle car, with a mind of its own, rubbing bumpers with a gang of smugglers on their way to Brazil. Herbie went from "The Love Bug", one of the highest-grossing films of all-time (for that time), and the OUTSTANDING "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo", to be thrown into this piece of trash. www.movie-warehouse.com /Reviews/ItemId/B0000DZTMA/ReviewPage/2   (848 words)

Sky Captain Suffice it to say, this film really captures the "whiz-bang" feel of 1930s entertainment in a way that has not been achieved since movies like Indiana Jones and The Rocketeer. The entire film has been digitally created so that Conran could fully realize the stylized "retro-future" that was such a signature staple of 1930s literature, comics, and celluloid. During a shot of Sky Captain's P-40 taxiing into a massive hangar, some of the tiny glass windows in the hangar doors are broken as was common with doors of that type. www.retroradar.com /index.php?id=83   (848 words)

Jet pack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fictional device used by The Rocketeer was a rocket pack that was technically unique (at least in the film adaptation) because it was designed to remain cool. In the film's sound track the real shrill roar of the rocket pack's engine was replaced with the hiss of a fire extinguisher - "to seem more realistic". A jet pack, rocket pack or rocket belt is a device, usually worn on the back, that uses jets of escaping gases to allow the user to fly. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jet_pack   (3308 words)

Film Reviews His golden-lighted, amber-waves-of-grain patriotism (and there is much of it, usually in slow motion, always accompanied by elegiac music) begins to grate about 10 minutes into the film, but if you look at it as a bizarre comic element it's that much easier to stomach. It has the sexy, histrionic vibe of those old Republic serials updated for the Nineties, and would make a terrific double bill with Disney's vastly underrated The Rocketeer. Lured to the taping of a daytime TV talk show by the promise of a free makeover, Birdee is led blindfolded onto the set whereupon her best friend (Rosanna Arquette in an unbilled cameo) tells her of the affair with her husband. www.auschron.com /issues/vol17/issue49/screens.film.html   (18928 words)
