Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Gale Anne Hurd Yet a third type of producer still exists, one who functions as a genuine co-creator of films and actively participates in all aspects of their production, and such producers (like William ALLAND and George PAL) have, for better or worse, long stood among the true heroes of science fiction films. Today, Gale Anne Hurd is one of the few active representatives of this tradition; and if she has not quite emerged as the heroic science fiction film producer we once might have hoped for, her body of work does command respect and engender hope for the future. Their success with the film led to another rewarding assignment, Aliens, where they effectively abandoned the horror-movie framework of the original Alien (1979) and instead created a rousing science fiction war movie, with Sigourney WEAVER as its tough but caring commanding officer. www.sfsite.com /gary/hurd01.htm   (497 words)

Hamlet/Branagh Revolting cutaways of fornication scenes again, as if the audience wouldn't get the point of Ophelia's peristaltic tremors unless one also shows her actually in bed with Hamlet. Although Hamlet, (and by extension, the theater audience) see Polonius as a stupid fool who brings about his own death through meddling, he is also a father so deeply loved by his children that one of them goes insane through his death while the other throws away his life in a duel to avenge him. The cutaway of the fornication scene between Hamlet and Ophelia is disgusting, a blasphemy on the text and the intention of Shakespeare. www.fermentmagazine.org /essays/branagh.html   (3709 words)

Dawn of the Dead (2004) The shop-worn idea of man being man's own worst enemy is played with and cannily discarded as Dawn of the Dead settles into an excellent action film and a consistently entertaining B-movie that reminds a great deal of what worked about Tremors. It's driven by cinema rather than theory, fitting comfortably into the new wave of technically proficient, thematically nihilistic horror films (from The Ring to Elephant to The Passion of the Christ)--marking the discomfort, the weariness, and the great divide of America tentatively testing the murky waters of our new millennium. Dawn of the Dead is exciting and exuberant: moored in Romero's subtext, but anchored by its craft and respect for genre. filmfreakcentral.net /screenreviews/dawnofthedead2004.htm   (503 words)

Amazon.com: The Mummy Collector's Set (The Mummy (1999)/ The Mummy Returns/ The Scorpion King): DVD: Mummy Collectors Set Their battle for supremacy comprises most of the film's brisk 95-minute running time, punctuated by comic relief from Mathayus's obligatory sidekick (Grant Heslov), romance with a beautiful sorceress (Kelly Hu), and alliance with a massive Nubian (Michael Clarke Duncan) on the eve of their climactic showdown. There's no rhyme or reason to the film's depiction of ancient civilization (the costuming is particularly ludicrous), but the Rock demonstrates adequate action-star potential, and director Chuck Russell (The Mask) wraps it all in a slick, professional package. The three box sets of JURASSIC PARK, MUMMY and TREMORS are all great. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000ASATYY?v=glance   (2175 words)

CHUD - Cinematic Happenings Under Development If you're a fan of the mix of humor and cool creature effects that we've seen before in films like Tremors (among others), you're going to be very happy with this trailer. Ever since our pal Bill "Splat" Johnson of Lone Wolf FX started planting the seed that he may be working on this film called Arac Attack for Centropolis, we've been talking up a storm (all the while being kind enough to not tell ALL the cool stuff we know about the film). At a screening of 13 Ghosts last night I witnessed the trailer for the film that was once going to be called Arac Attack. www.chud.com /news/oct01/oct248legged.php3   (1930 words)

Entertainment Weekly: 'Times' movie critic jitters. (New York Times)@ HighBeam Research But what it contained--an announcement that 69-year-old Vincent Canby, chief film critic since 1969, was stepping down--sent tremors through the movie industry on both coasts. Long Live the King!" exclaimed Tom Sherak, executive vice president of Twentieth Century Fox, about the nation's most powerful film critic.

Cinefex Weekly Update Issue 19 05.25.2004 As with earlier Tremors films, the intention was to dig large holes in which to conceal the full-scale Graboid puppets, mechanical rigs and crew. Screenwriter Valerio Massimo Manfredi is adapting the book, which is written in the form of a letter from the aging emperor to his young successor, recounting the story of Hadrian's early political career in the second century A.D. Rai Cinema, Gam Film and Movieweb will produce. Puppetry had provided the means for creating Tremors' original Graboid -- a legless, 30-foot creature with a mouthful of powerful tentacles -- and Tremors 2's flying Shrieker. www.cinefex.com /weeklyupdate/mailings/19_05252004/web.html   (2106 words)

The Weapons of Tremors 4: The Legend Begins Tremors 4: The Legend Begins director S.S. Wilson and actor Michael Gross (Hiram Gummer) holding the Punt gun used in the film. There are few working punt guns in existence so the one used in Tremors 4 was custom built for the show. The Gatling gun used in the film was a genuine antique 45-70 caliber Colt made before 1900 -- and it worked flawlessly. www.thelegendbegins.com /weapons_of_tremors4.html   (2106 words)

JAMES GUNN [ SCREENWRITER Call it "Night of the Living Dead" meets "Tremors." Scripter James Gunn infuses the pic, his debut feature as a director, with the exuberance of a movie geek given carte blanche to play fast and loose with the cliches and conventions of his favorite films. The film's aliens enter their victims through the mouth or stomach and compel people to consume endless quantities of meatthey grow so morbidly obese that they literally explode with extraterrestrial evil.

Eight Legged Freaks - John Ottman Following in the wake of minor genre classics such as Tremors and erm, Tremors 2, but also amusing creature features Lake Placid (also featuring an Ottman score) and Evolution, we have a spider based effort with giant aracs, as opposed to the tiny poisonous ones of Arachnophobia. As some bright spark once suggested - Roger Ebert I think - Hollywood never really stopped making B movies, it just gave them huge budgets and sold them as top class film making. It is with certain irony that when there seems to be an active attempt to make a B movie, usually leavened with self referential humour, the results are often more successful than the supposedly more serious efforts. www.soundtrack-express.com /osts/eightleggedfreaks.htm   (1269 words)

Director: Ron Underwood After working on educational films and children's TV for 15 years, Underwood made his break into features with a little help from his friends Brent Maddock and S.S. Wilson, the writers of Tremors, who insisted Underwood direct their script. "I seem to take on films that parallel what is going on in my life," says director Ron Underwood, who made his feature film debut on 1990's Tremors, the subterranean monster flick starring Kevin Bacon. millimeter.com /mag/video_director_ron_underwood/index.html   (1269 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Exit Wounds at Epinions.com "Exit Wounds" may not only serve as the end of all good police films, but also of Steven Seagal's primarily unmemorable career. I'll start by telling you that I've always watched movies with the idea in mind that the film's ideas, characters, and execution should entertain me. "Exit Wounds" has absolutely no redeeming values for you to consider renting, let alone buying this disastrous cop flick about police corruption. No longer are the investigations of any importance to the filmmakers, they're only goal is to create as much mind-numbing shootouts and illogical plot leaps as possible within two hours. www.epinions.com /content_74823863940   (1186 words)

Lake Placid A more modest film than Lake Placid is hard to imagine; it runs a breezy 90 minutes, has a fairly derivative plot, and the body count is shockingly low (two bit players, a bear, and a cow) for a horror film. I'm a big fan of Tremors, my ideal of a popcorn movie, and Lake Placid has the same low-key charm. But I enjoyed his writing on Lake Placid; his sense of quirk is well suited to a tongue-in-cheek monster movie, and he (for the most part) avoids his major problem as a writer -- that he can't write drama worth a damn. www.panix.com /~crodell/99film/lake-placid.html   (1186 words)

The Hindu : Sankranthi specials THE FAILURE of NTR's New Year release "Andhrawala" has created tremors in the Telugu film industry on the eve of Sankranthi. The film, set in Warangal, has music director Devisri Prasad experimenting with the sound of water. However, the trade is more optimistic about the Sankranthi dark horse, producer M.S.Raju's "Varsham", a love story starring Prabhas and Trisha, and directed by Shobhan. www.hinduonnet.com /thehindu/mp/2004/01/19/stories/2004011900240200.htm   (1186 words)

Michael Gross jumps at chasing 'Tremors' monsters - PittsburghLIVE.com Gross, who starred for seven years as the compassionate, free-thinking dad on NBC's Emmy-winning sitcom "Family Ties," has played Gummer in all three "Tremors" movies as well as the fourth film that's being made -- a prequel set in the early West in which he portrays Gummer's great-grandfather, Hiram. Gross wears fatigues and boots to portray rough and tumble survivalist Burt Gummer, the central character in "Tremors: The Series," premiering Friday on the Sci Fi Channel. "Michael was perfection by accident," says Nancy Roberts, one of the series' executive producers and a producer of the movies. beta.pittsburghlive.com /x/tribune-review/entertainment/s_125356.html   (553 words)

Among the many credits in the long career of actor and filmmaker L.Q.

Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: Gale Anne Hurd Today, Gale Anne Hurd is one of the few active representatives of this tradition; and if she has not quite emerged as the heroic science fiction film producer we once might have hoped for, her body of work does command respect and engender hope for the future. Perhaps, as she becomes more prominent as a mover and shaker in Hollywood, Hurd is evolving into the more distant sort of producer, who limits her involvement in films to making deals and writing checks. More noteworthy is Tremors — the Citizen Kane of giant earthworm movies — a movie that immediately decides exactly how serious it wants to be and maintains that tone throughout its horrific setpieces and obligatory character development scenes, also making good use of a limited special effects budget and an uneven cast. www.sfsite.com /gary/hurd01.htm   (257 words)

Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon once starred in the first post-feminist environmental film ever made -- Tremors. In 1994, Bacon and his brother Michael formed a band called the Bacon Brothers, and started playing their folk-rock and soul-influenced music at small clubs in the Northeast. Bacon has been married to Sedgwick since 1988 and they have two children together. www.tribute.ca /bio.asp?id=1723   (528 words)

Kevin Bacon , Celebrity profile, bio, biography Though Kevin Bacon would appear in a few other failed-but-interesting, audience-pleasing thrillers such as Tremors (1989) and Flatliners (1990) in the following years, it was with his role in conspiracy theorist Oliver Stone's JFK (1991) that Kevin Bacon found his career revived and began to shed his heartthrob image. Though Kevin Bacon wasn't visible for the majority of the film, Bacon fell into psychotic territory as the malicious genius consumed by his discovery of the key to invisibility in Paul Verhoeven's sadistic Hollow Man (2000). His performance as the disillusioned and broken prisoner, accentuated by his famished and frail skeletal figure, was followed by an equally challenging reality-based role as a member of the troubled Apollo 13 (1995) lunar mission team in director Ron Howard's widely praised film. www.starglimpse.com /celebs/pages/kevin_bacon/kevin_bacon.shtml   (528 words)

The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation The tragedy has sent tremors down the entire neighbourhood, which is adjacent to Hiranandani Gardens, one of the most prosperous residential areas and a popular film shooting spot in the city. The attacks have killed seven to eight persons a year from the slum areas on the slopes of the National Park hills. “The presence of the encroachers are a pressure on the wild life in the national park,” he adds. www.telegraphindia.com /1031011/asp/nation/story_2449908.asp   (830 words)

Rise of the New Plagues Continues Encephalitis lethargica is a mysterious disease that was the subject of the film Awakenings, starring Robin Williams and Robert De Niro. Double vision, disturbance of eye movements, weakness of the upper body, tremors and strange movements, neck stiffness, intense muscle pains, a slowing of physical and mental response, drowsiness and lethargy soon follow. Although the epidemic of encephalitis lethargica hasn't recurred, occasional cases had been reported for centuries beforehand and are still sometimes seen. chem11.proboards2.com /index.cgi?board=gaiasphere&action=print&thread=1091101721   (20560 words)

Idle Days » Singapore Sling Singapore’s very own Mr Brown has made a short film titled, Singapore Rabble, in a move that will be sure to spark interest in local political spheres of our society. Apparently, it had been some slight tremors from the quake (a first for me and one which I will not want to experience again), which had rocked some parts of Singapore. As you all know, due to the overt publicity of the IOC Conference held in Singapore very recently, London won the right to host the 2012 Summer Games, much to the chagrin of Paris, who I think were just plain unlucky at not getting the rights for the third time. www.idledays.net /index.php?cat=5   (3635 words)
