  Frank Vincent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent is often typecast as a gangster, the most recent example being The Sopranos where he plays Phil Leotardo.
Vincent finally got his revenge five years later in Casino, after he beats Pesci's character, Nicky Santoro, and his brother with a baseball bat in an Illinois cornfield (in real life, the cornfield was in Indiana) and buries them both alive.
Vincent bears an uncanny resemblance to the former Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, as noted by Frank himself as Phil Leotardo in a recent episode of The Sopranos.

 Film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Animation is the technique in which each frame of a film is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model unit (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result with a special animation camera.
Stock widths and the film format for images on the reel have had a rich history, though most large commercial films are still shot on (and distributed to theaters) as 35 mm prints.
Film preservation of decaying film stock is a matter of concern to both film historians and archivists, and to companies interested in preserving their existing products in order to make them available to future generations (and thereby increase revenue).

 Vincent Gillioz

Vincent firmly believes that a solid knowledge and understanding of cinema is essential for scoring a movie and communicating successfully with the director.
Vincent’s attraction to a project is not so much about the story, but how it is told.

 Vincent (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vincent is a 1982 short film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton and Rick Heinrichs of less than six minutes duration.
He is obsessed with the tales of Edgar Allan Poe, and it is his detachment from reality when reading them that leads to his delusions that he is in fact a tortured artist, deprived of the woman he loves, mirroring very much certain parts of Poe's The Raven.
The film ends with Vincent being tortured by the goings-on of his make-believe world, quoting The Raven as he falls to the floor in frailty, believing himself to be dead.

 Claude Sautet
Vincent has been separated from his wife Catherine (Stephane Audran) for two years, and one day, at the country house, she telephones him to ask for a divorce.
It is an unexpected turn of events for Vincent, who, despite his open affair with a younger woman, clearly still loves her and is deeply affected by her decision to end their marriage.
Vincent, François, Paul and the Others is an astute commentary on the spectrum of human emotion - a profound, yet deceptively lyrical portrait of failed dreams and loves, longing and regret, friendship and loneliness.

Vincent became a popular and acclaimed film star during the 1970s, especially for his co-starring role with Charles Bronson in the crime film The Mechanic.
Vincent had long been a hard drinker and user of illegal drugs, and his constant inebriation had put him out of good graces with much of the Hollywood community.

 Tim Burton Dream Site - Vincent
During the film we witness his intriguing daydreams, Vincent's world is one in which outsiders even his own parents find too bizarre and strange to comprehend, yet it is a world filled with adventure and immense humour.
To Vincent the ordinary world of bright colours, childhood playtime in the sunshine and fresh air is a source of pain and disillusionment; he is repulsed by the things most children enjoy, as they have no basis in the thrilling world that fills his mind.
The film is shot in fl and white and it does have some similarities in the rhyming of the narrative to the books by Dr Seuss, which Tim Burton loved as a child.

 Tim Burton's 'Vincent'--A Matter of Pastiche
Vincent is for Burton the same sort of indulgence, a chance to represent himself on the screen as the tortured boy/outsider/artist.
The film is also an early stylistic benchmark for Burton, whose collaboration with Heinrichs established a pattern of combining 2D and 3D animation within a single film.
The film's combination of 2D and 3D methods is foregrounded by its use of fl and white.

 Vincent Gallo: Recordings Of Music For Film - Music from the Movies
The mainstream mediocrity of film music slips away and I am left enriched by Gallo's determination to produce a caring, warm and different tension to film music.
In the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, Gallo composed music for a range of cult films, four of which are represented on this compilation.
The full story of the creation of this record and the films behind the tracks is told by Vincent in his own words in the liner notes and is a an amusing and striking piece of prose in it's own right.

 STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN/STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (THE DIRECTOR'S EDITION) - DVDs
Kirk's rebirth (the film closes as he wistfully proclaims that he feels young) parallels that of the Genesis Planet, formed after the device is detonated in a last-ditch attempt by Khan to ensnare Kirk and the Enterprise.
The film's wonderful script, however, is not content with merely providing such parallels; the Genesis Planet hints at yet a third rebirth as Spock, having sacrificed himself while enabling the ship to reach safety, is entombed and deposited on the planet's surface.
The moving sequence in which Spock and Kirk speak their farewells is the culmination of the film's exploration of its most profound theme, one that embodies all of the best philosophical tendencies of "Star Trek".

Vincent Gallo's "The Brown Bunny" arrives from Cannes with a reputation as a pathetic joke, but it's actually just a minimalist mistake that could have been something better.

Filmed with a cast of amateurs, it was most notable for the inclusion of kung fu fights and a multitude of Japanese toys, both subjects Burton was obsessed with at the time.
