SNAPPER - THE GIANT SNAPPING TURTLE MOVIE Disclaimers abound on the Snapper site and in the liner notes of the film that the film is not to be taken seriously, but with my turtle-nard munching phobia, I cannot help but take it as such. Snapper is a film that plays on a primal childhood fear of mine, namely that a giant snapping turtle will burst out of a pile of nearby leaves and take a big bite out of my nuts. God bless the makers of "Snapper", bringing light to a member of the turtle family that is often forgotten and misunderstood. snapperfilm.blogspot.com   (3388 words)

Matador Records Red Snapper Biography ‘Our Aim Is To Satisfy Red Snapper’ is easily their best record to date, with MC Det and Karim Kendra again joining Thair, Friend, and Ayers on a sweaty, film-noir ride that begins like a runway juggernaut and ends with an uneasy struggle for beauty and peace. With their 1996 debut Prince Blimey, Red Snapper’s savage display of traditional jazz instrumentation in a comtemporary context — and, most importantly, the band's ability to pull it off live — was largely responsible for the influx of dance artists fusing acoustic instruments with electronic sounds. Red Snapper's first vinyl came out in 1994, and is a murky gumbo of dubbed-out jazz and subterranean bass which sounds like nothing else of the time. www.matadorrecords.com /red_snapper/biography.html   (1021 words)

Amazon.com: Books: The Snapper After watching the film "The Snapper" over 100 times in my life time I figured it was time to read the book. The Snapper concerns the unplanned pregnancy of the eldest daughter, delineating nine months of sparring between Sharon, who refuses to reveal the baby's father, and Jimmy Sr., the clan's vulgar, witty patriarch. Sharon is determined to bear the child, referred to in Irish slang as a "snapper," and raise it alone. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140171673?v=glance   (1682 words)

Film Threat - Reviews Learning more about Snapper and his mannerisms outside of the clinic would have been more helpful in assisting with the catharsis at the end of the film. While the first supplement of the drug is being induced, Snapper is visited by an angelic nurse who supplies him with an orange. Snapper Carr (Stamford Lancaster) is broke, having just been fired from his job, so he is willing to risk those pesky side effects and become part of a study for Sak-600, a new anti-depressant drug that has yet to be tested on humans. www.filmthreat.com /Reviews.asp?Id=6379   (1682 words)

Michael Collins Michael Collins is a filmic voyage, and, it has to be said, an intellectual essay, about the heroic and the hero. But then, Neil Jordan's film sets so many remarkable characters before us in their relationship with Michael Collins that it is a virtual recital of a pantheon before an Irish 'Gotterdammerung'. That constituency may determine the immediate effect of the film. www.iol.ie /~galfilm/filmwest/26mmccart.htm   (656 words)

Copenhagen International Film Festival - Current Events - Arts and Culture - British Council - Denmark Together with long-time collaborator Mark Shivas, the prolific producer of films like A Private Function and The Snapper, Roeg will also be giving a Master Class during the festival. The diversity of British film will be in focus at the Copenhagen International Film Festival in August, where a sidebar will be dedicated to the latest and best from both newcomers and well established filmmakers. From sweeping historical drama to contemporary stories of young forbidden love, from bloody revenge thriller to emotional intellectual mind games, Copenhagen International Film Festival offers a unique opportunity to sample the best from the UK cinema of 2005. www.britishcouncil.org /es/denmark-arts-current-events-cph-int-film.htm   (227 words)

A Fish out of Water, Stephen Frears Comes to America with "Hi-Lo" Starring Billy Crudup and Woody Harrelson as a pair of cowboys fighting for life and love, the film is a return to the low-budget arena that Frears favors. His resume is eclectic to say the least; from the semiotic sexual farce "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid" to the Hollywood drama, "Dangerous Liaisons" to such UK comedies as "The Snapper" and "The Van," his work ranges from melodrama to comedy to character study. Then I drifted into film, so I didn't expect to be a film director. www.indiewire.com /people/int_Frears_Steven_990111.html   (227 words)

Purple Rain And, one of the reasons that this was pulled out for review is the fact that I had just had the chance to replace the original crappy snapper case with a nice new transparent Amaray case and a free replacement slick from Warners. The film won an Oscar in 1984 for Best Original Song Score, as well as picking up Grammys, and that is what the film is all about. As the bass channel gets a decent run here, the overall effect is of a bass-heavy soundtrack that does not carry any power to the music - which is after all the entire purpose of the film. www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/PurpleRain.html   (1974 words)

Freejack (1992) The only difference is that the Region 1 disc is packaged in a snapper case, making ours the version of choice, although it would have been nice to see a PAL formatted disc. Emilio Estevez's career was in a decline at the time this film was made, and Mick Jagger was and still is a walking museum, making his appearance in a science fiction film just that little more unnerving. Film artefacts consisted of some small black and white marks on the picture, and matte lines were visible at such points such as the ride in the elevator at www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/Reviews.asp?ReviewID=451   (1640 words)

Chow Yun Fat on DVD Chow Yun Fat plays what amounts to a supporting role, but what a cool supporting role it is. Throughout the film Chow does next to nothing. This is the oldest Chow Yun Fat movie I have seen, made a few years before he became a major film star with A Better Tomorrow. By the time it came out, I was already a Chow Yun Fat fan, having tracked down VHS copies of A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, and Hard Boiled, and begun to rent his other HK films on DVD. webpages.marshall.edu /~styer1/dvd/cyf-dvd.html   (1640 words)

Get Carter (2000) Richardson's biography lists Eat The Rich (a film I would love to see on Region 4 DVD) as one of her film appearances in 1987, and whomever put Rachel Leigh Cook's biography together couldn't get the spelling of her name consistent from screen to screen.     The Region 4 and Region 1 versions of this disc are fundamentally identical, although the Region 1 version is packaged in a Snapper case, making our version the version of choice. Interestingly, Stallone's biography is not afraid to mention film appearances such as Party At Kitty And Stud's, in spite of its comfortable positioning at number twenty on the IMDB's hundred worst films of all time. www.michaeldvd.com.au /Reviews/Reviews.asp?ReviewID=85   (2308 words)

Amazon.com: DVD: Agnes Browne (2000) Set in Dublin in 1967, it is about the struggles of Agnes, played by Academy Award winner Angelica Huston, who also directed the film, A Moore Street fruit and veg stand vendor, whose husband dies in an auto accident, and she is left to raise their seven children. After a surfeit of "Jaysuses" and pub sing-alongs, you yearn for the sharp comedy of Roddy Doyle's reality-based Dublin stories, such as The Snapper or The Commitments. The friendship between these two is one of the highlights of this amazing film, but the interaction between the two of them with other venders carries a lot of weight also. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00004UB6R?v=glance   (1313 words)

Silent Era : DVD : Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler (1922) Review Mabuse, the Gambler is nearly perfect, compromised only by the slightly abbreviated but acceptable survival state of the 35mm print (the best we have seen of this film). The music and the audio commentary are valuable assets in this quality edition, with the windowboxed video transfer a fine example of how silent films should be presented on home video. We also like the fact that Image DVDs are now being released in plastic keep cases rather than cardboard and plastic snapper cases. www.silentera.com /DVD/drMabuseDVD.html   (1313 words)

MTV.com - Movies - Stephen Frears Frears ' subsequent films have been of wildly mixed quality: Hero (1992) and Mary Reilly (1996) were complete duds, while two Roddy Doyle adaptations, The Snapper (1993) and The Van (1996) were modest affairs that enjoyed a fairly positive reception. Frears ' next three films proved to be some of the most successful of his career. Frears and Kureshi again collaborated on Sammy and Rosie Get Laid (1987), a film about the faltering relationship between a London couple. www.mtv.com /movies/person/79801/bio.jhtml   (1313 words)

DVD Times - The Girl Who Knew Too Much That said, Tim Lucas's excellent liner notes, which adorn the inside of the (ugh!) snapper case, are a very worthwhile addition, giving a great deal of insight into the ideas behind the film and its actual production. Bava manages to avoid letting the film become pretentious or overbearing thanks to the lighthearted sense of humour, which pervades throughout, much of it at the expense of either Nora, thanks to her inexperience, or Marcello, who is the frequent victim of slapstick gags, most of which involve him further injuring a broken finger. He was the kind of director who would try his hand at anything in order to put food on the table, and it is this very trait that separates him from Dario Argento, and in my view makes him the lesser of the two. www.dvdtimes.co.uk /content.php?contentid=13186   (1313 words)

The Mediadrome - Reviews - Dirty Pretty Things With an accomplished career that includes films like Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters, The Snapper and High Fidelity, Stephen Frears adds yet another richly textured and extremely human story to his impressive resume. In Dirty Pretty Things, the latest film from prolific director Stephen Frears, illegal immigrants are forced to work menial service jobs in order to stay in the country, and it isn’t a pretty sight. What is pretty is the film itself, which rises above its dark subject matter to emerge as a strangely beautiful love story with haunting suspense, unexpected humor and a payoff that will blow you away. www.themediadrome.com /content/reviews/dirty_pretty_things.shtml   (671 words)

WHEN BRENDAN MET TRUDY Trudy was directed by Kieron J. Walsh and written by Roddy Doyle, who is probably best known as the author of the novel that became "The Barrytown Trilogy" (The Commitments, The Snapper, and The Van). Even though most of Trudy is based on a handful of old films, and it offers the basic "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back" story, it remains surprisingly fresh thanks to the great chemistry between the two extremely likeable leads. The soundtrack includes a great, eclectic bunch of songs (one from Sebadoh, no less), and I can't convey how wonderful it is to see a film set in Dublin where people are clean, have nice jobs and live in nice homes. www.sick-boy.com /whenbrendan.htm   (446 words)

NYPOST.COM Movie Reviews: WILCO, WARTS & ALL By MEGAN TURNER Jones' film, shot on grainy 16mm black-and-white with a snapper's eye for composition, assumes a certain amount of knowledge about the band as it begins and ends with the recording and release of a single album. Even during moments of tension, the film itself unspools at a leisurely pace, reflecting the laid-back approach of the band's (remaining) members. But the concert footage is stirring, the recording sessions are intriguing, and - on the way to striking a blow for artistic integrity - this quality band may pick up new admirers. www.nypost.com /movies/45753.htm   (446 words)

YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE Not only is he doing more and more production, including a debut album for a new band called Arturo and Red Snapper's most recent album, but he is also working on a Hollywood film score with David Holmes for the remake of a film called Ocean 11. Not only do programmers often get to do a variety of tasks previously the preserve of engineers, but they are also always in the control room, learning all the time from what's going on around them, even though they often won't be allowed to have any sort of artistic input to the session. However, on Screamadelica the timing of the live takes had to be tweaked to match the sequenced stuff — one notable example was 'Come Together', though Andy and I were fortunate enough to receive the tapes from someone else who'd done it for us. www.soundonsound.com /sos/nov00/articles/hugo.htm   (4106 words)

dOc DVD Review: Bloody Pit of Horror (Il Boia Scarlatto) (1965) - Printable The gallery of exploitation film art promised on the snapper case is not thesame as that we've seen on other SWV releases. The case has printed production notes written byexploitation director Frank Hennenlotter, which give a decent amount of backgroundinformation on the film and Hargitay's career, such as it was. The first is Primitive Love, featuringJayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, but the clip includes neither star. www.digitallyobsessed.com /showrevpdf.php3?ID=642   (1104 words)

DVD Review of Looney Tunes: Back In Action (WS) - DVDtoons! A usual snapper case from Warners, but one thing I noticed were the words “The Movie!” plastered under the main title, on the front and sides of the box, and on the disc artwork, in true “blurb” style. Where he and the Studio failed was in the constant switching between audiences and tone, with the film never settling as one or the other. Dialogue never sounds too replaced (a usual given on an animated/live-action film) and the cartoon characters voices blend well with the human cast. www.dvdtoons.com /reviews/276   (1104 words)

Amazon.ca: DVD: JFK (Director's Cut Two-Disc Special Edition) Oliver Stone's "JFK" is a remarkable film that is too often overshadowed by the very real events upon which it is based and by the perceived political agenda of its director. The central character in the film is Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner), the district attorney from New Orleans who actually brought the case of the Kennedy assassination to court -- some three years after the fact. "JFK" is presented in Warner's preferred snapper case, which should come as no surprise. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000CDL93   (1104 words)
