Superstar Jackie Chan is known for his fast kicks and fancy stunts--so it is no surprise that he is finally getting his own video game. Jackie can bounce off walls, use ordinary objects as weapons, break things, and, of course, kick and punch the daylights out of any thug who stands in his way. Like his movies, the game does have some semblance of a plot. It seems that Jackie's grandfather has been kidnapped (while Jackie was stuffing his face at a caf, no less). The action star must fight his way through a number of back alleys and abandoned factories to rescue him. To carry out his mission, Jackie must collect red and gold dragon tokens and take on some pretty mean bosses. Short movie scenes feature a computer-generated Chan with all the facial expressions fans have come to know and love as well as his own voice acting. Jackie Chan Stuntmaster might not exactly be A Rumble on the Bronx, but it is the next best thing to seeing Jackie on the silver screen.

One thing that always gets me excited is seeing a black superhero getting the spotlight. My excitement doubles when it’s a black female lead. So when I heard that the CW wa going to be creating a TV series off of Vixen, I was super excited and knew I had to watch it.
I’ll admit, the only thing that I really knew about Vixen before is that she was one of the superheroes included in the Justice League. I’d always see her lined up in the background with the other “lesser” heroes and always wondered exactly what her true powers where. so everything I’m seeing on the CW show is new information to me.
It’s a great show so far. There’s lots of action, mystery, and I just heard them name drop Anansi so I know there will be a lot of folklore and great characters ahead!
My only complaint so far is that the show is usually no more than five minutes long. I”m getting way more questions than I’m getting answers during these mini episodes, but thankfully lthe action and snippets of info we do get is filling enough to tide us over until next week. Either way, I’ll keep tuning in to the show every Tuesday on the CW Seed. Hopefully the guys in the big chairs will see the buzz around the show and extend the time so Vixen can the fuller episode she deserves. And if this goes well, who knows what other heroes could get the TV spotlight?
I’m loving this show so far and give it a 4/5 because of it’s short time.


Tamoh Pennikett - Dose.ca Interview
Tamoh Pennikett parle de "Dollhouse" lors d'une interview pour for "Battlestar Galactica".
With the end in sight, so too are new beginnings for Pennikett, including a role on Dollhouse, the highly anticipated new Fox series from Buffy, Angel and Firefly creator Joss Whedon. The show, starring Buffy alum Eliza Dushku, follows an organization that employs mind-wiped agents known as "dolls" who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. Needless to say, the whole operation is highly illegal.
"I play an FBI agent who’s on the trail of the ’dolls’," he says. "I’m honoured to be a part of this. I mean, Joss is the biggest there is, one of the brightest and most creative. I’m looking forward to working with Eliza, too. I’m really excited to start work on it."

IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THIS
I’ve been cheated my whole life.
"Every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Not necessarily in that order." - Tim Burton.
But what if Tim Burton had a dog when he was a kid and he loved it so much and then the dog died and Tim is just doing in his films what he hopes happens in his life (and afterlife)
Don’t fucking talk to me!
"He’s playing with a full deck of cards. He’s behind bars, but he’s got a new strength. With that strength comes a kind of ruthlessness, determination, and a willingness to use the sides of him that are manipulative or more powerful. That’s the game we see starting in Season 2. […] Hannibal is looking for signs of friendship from Will, and in turn that’s something that Will thinks maybe he can exploit."
- Hugh Dancy (x)

ABOUT TALLGRASS FILM ASSOCIATION
TFA was founded in 2003 by Timothy Gruver, a Wichita native who studied filmmaking at Brigham Young University (often sneaking into Sundance Film Festival parties in Park City to mingle with the stars) before moving to Los Angeles for his first job with Dreamworks Animation, followed by Outfest and the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Tim returned to Wichita in 2002 to found Tallgrass Film Association (known originally as the Wichita Association for Motion Picture Arts.) Tim believed Wichita could be the next Telluride — obvious geographical issues aside — and created the city's first annual Tallgrass Film Festival, held in October of 2003. Tim amassed a dedicated board of directors and staff, many of whom remain with the organization today, and North America's most Stubbornly Independent film festival was born.
Tragically, Tim passed away suddenly at the age of 33, just prior the third festival. The board, staff and community united, determined that the show must go on. The group produced Shortgrass, a 24-hour celebration of his vision.
Since then, the festival has expanded to a 5-day format and has become a hallmark of Wichita's fall event calendar. 12,000 people attended the 11th annual festival, which screened over 180 films from 32 countries around the world. TFA emphasizes community partnerships and in 2013 collaborated with the Wichita Art Museum, Botanica, Ulrich Museum of Art, Exploration Place, Sedgwick County Historical Museum, Orpheum Theatre, CityArts and Wichita Symphony Orchestra to name just a few, as well as tens of other non-profit organizations throughout the region.
TFA's activities have expanded to also host year-round screenings and events, as well as educational workshops, and a traveling road show.
If you're unable to attend FIST FULL OF FIVES, please consider donating any amount - every dollar helps TFA to bring the best of independent film to Wichita.

The Lionheart movie directed and produced by Nigerian actress turned director, Genevieve Nnaji which became Nigeria’s first-ever submission to the Oscar Academy for the Category of “Best International Feature Film” got disqualified yesterday, the 4th of November 2019 for the 2020 Oscar entry.
The movie was disqualified by the academy for not having a predominantly non-English dialogue as the movie had only 11minutes with dialogue in a foreign language (Igbo) as English predominated which violated its rule.
The Oscar Academy rules for the “Best International Feature Film” category states that it only awards movies made outside the United States with a predominantly non-English dialogue
Lionheart was one of the 93 movie entries competing for this prestigious award. It was also one of the 29 movie entries with female directors.
The disqualification notice was mailed to voters in the international category yesterday.
Award-winning director Ava DuVernay expressed his dismay with the Academy’s decision on disqualifying Nigeria’s first-ever submission for Best International Feature because it was predominantly in English. He went on further to say that English is the official language of Nigeria and asked if the Academy intends barring Nigeria from ever competing for an Oscar in its Official language.
In response to DuVernay, Genevieve Nnaji took to her Twitter handle in appreciation of his comment. She further went on to say that the movie depicts the way we speak as Nigerians and that English acts a bridge between the over 500 languages spoken in the country thereby uniting the people and making us OneNigeria.
Another tweet by @Comemare in response to Nnaji’s tweet said that this category was for films that were predominantly in other languages and not English and that since the film was mostly in English, that it stands the shot of competing with other English films from Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, etc. Further stating that no one excluded her field.
Another tweet by @TravRicardson wrote that he totally gets her but that the category was just changed from Best Foreign Language to the very vague “Best International Feature Film and that it seemed like the academy was referring only to the foreign language requirement which he considered dumb.
Another tweet by @Royalmusings said that the category was for non-English Language movies and noted that Canada also had French-language films nominated. He added that if Lionheart had been in Hausa or Yoruba, that it would have been accepted by the Oscar Academy.

The Cut is a standalone thriller from one of my favourite Scottish crime writers. At the heart of this story is the relationship between the main characters, Millicent and Jerry. Recently released from prison, having served twenty-five years for a crime she claims she did not commit, Millicent Spark is finding it hard to adjust to the modern world. She is planning her own demise when Jerry – a film studies student at Glasgow university who is also having trouble fitting in – comes to live in the house she shares with two other elderly women. This unlikely duo bond over their love of horror films. After Millicent sees an old photo in a hotel that makes her question the past, they join forces to try and find out what really happened all those years ago.
The flashbacks to when Millicent worked a special effects make-up artist on horror films reveal fascinating glimpses behind the scenes of a world most of us know nothing about. I am not a fan of horror movies, but this did not stop me enjoying this book immensely. Jerry is obsessed with a movie that was never released, and believed to be cursed, called Mancipium; co-incidentally, it was the last film Millicent worked on, and seems to be the source of the conspiracy behind what happened to her.
I loved the familiar Glasgow setting, and the road trip to Europe, as well as the cultural and cinematic references woven into the narrative which resulted in a lot of point-scoring and amusing dialogue. This fast-paced, tightly plotted novel featuring Chris Brookmyre’s trademark black humour was thoroughly engrossing. The characters were well-rounded and believable, and developed as the story progressed, so that they both realised, by the end, that their lives were worth living after all.

The new season of filmschoolshorts hits public television April 2014.
The new season of filmschoolshorts hits public television April 2014.
Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Part coming-of-age story and part road film, Mauricio Osaki’s My Father’s Truck (Xe tải của bố) made at NYU: Tisch School of the Arts Asia is tender and heartbreaking, capturing the story of a young girl who skips school one day to help her father with his passenger truck.
Tell us a little about your background and about your film My Father’s Truck.
I was born in São Paulo, Brazil and started working in films here shooting my own short films while I worked as Assistant Editor and Post-Producer in feature films. In 2010, I was accepted in the MFA filmmaking program from NYU. They had a campus in Asia by this time, Tisch Asia. Since my grandparents were Japanese I thought it would be a great opportunity to fulfill my passion for filmmaking and re-connecting to my heritage.
You have said that you had originally planned a father-son relationship story. Tell me how that changed into a father-daughter story. Did you have to adapt other parts to more closely represent a female perspective?
Yes, I wrote a father-son relationship story, and I had been for two months trying to cast in Hanoi, and I was just struggling to find I boy that I liked.Then, we thought about having a look into the girls as well to play the role. It was when I first met this little girl named Mai Vy, she had such a great personality. She would help her mother in their street food business and had a great passion for animals as well. She had the perfect combination of toughness and sensitivity that I was looking for. It was very difficult decision to cast a girl at this point since I had always thought about the story as a “male” universe.
Then I read and read the script many times, I talked to my Director of Photography Pierre de Kerchove, and we came up with the decision to keep everything the way it was in the story. The father would treat the daughter as any other employee. I believe that it created an extra tension that served perfectly to the story.
Once her source of comfort and security, Vy’s father is transformed into a man who is capable of the same terrible things she tried to escape from in school. Does Vy identify her father as a man who does terrible acts or do she believe that the classroom is no different from the real world?
I think it’s that moment when she learns something about life, that it’s not black and white, that the sense of right and wrong are vast as the roads of her country. When I am writing, I always want to create characters that are bold, complex and face moral conflicts. I think at the end, she still loves her father, but she knows that he is not a super-hero. He is a man as well.
What were the challenges working with actors who speak a different language?
Trung Anh, the father, is such a great actor. He is a very experienced theater actor and if he was working in a market like North America, he would be a star by now. He does have recognition in Vietnam as well, but as they do not produce many films, he just doesn’t have much opportunity to act for the big screen. That said, it was very easy working with him, and we talked a lot before the shooting. He understood the story and I asked him to bring it to his personal experience as well and make it very specific. He knew the girl was not an “actress” and he would need to help her on the set. We had a translator in these meetings, but when it came to the shooting I hired another actor to translate for me. I wanted someone that would be able to translate exactly my directions, no more no less, and that worked perfectly.
Mai Vy has a great personality. She could speak and understand English, so I just told her, “Look everyone here has a role, everyone is working hard and serious. You are going to assist Trung Anh. He is your boss, follow his orders and I don’t want to see you crying.” She delivered much more than I could imagine. I think at the end I learned a lot from them, and it somehow showed us how universal film language is. On our set, we would speak three languages at least, but once we were watching a take, we just knew if it was working or not.
Have you had much experience working with child actors? What were the challenges and the delights?
I had worked before on another shorts and my experience is that they are very smart and they understand everything. You need to respect them, give them their space but treat them as professionals. I also don’t like giving them the script: I tell the story and we go scene-by-scene. A big challenge is that they can get tired and you always need to go through the hard scenes when they are at the peak of their energy, but when you see them managing to improvise with an adult actor, adding more nuances to the scene, that just feels great!
Does Vy’s fascination and love for animals and the unsettling truth she discovers speak largely on our destructive force as mankind?
I believe it speaks to the idiosyncrasies of human beings, our capacity of creating the beauty and also destroying it. When we were shooting, we were very concerned how the film would be received. There was a moment we thought that maybe it would be very hard to show it anywhere, but fortunately people understand the film, and it also makes them think and put into perspective their own habits, especially when it comes to food.
What training did Tisch Asia provide you to best tell your story and how has it influenced you as an artist?
I feel I owe a lot to my professors at NYU Tisch Asia. I had such a great faculty supporting me, encouraging me and guiding me to make this film. We focused a lot on storytelling and working with the actors there.
When I wrote the first draft of My Father’s Truck, I thought that maybe they would suggest me to shoot something in English or easier, but to the contrary, they always encouraged me to take risks, try my limits, be ambitious with my projects and aim high.
I workshopped the story in class with Todd Solondz, Michael Burke, Boris Frumin, Katherine Lindberg, John Hammond, Bobby Bukowski and my classmates (Amy Hartman and Russell Clarke) that were also part of the crew.
We researched a lot and lived for a while in Vietnam before shooting, so when it came to the set, even though we had many problems, I was confident to get the essence of the story.
Nowadays I am still working on my thesis project and preparing my first feature film project. My professors are always very accessible to give advices, and that is great about NYU.
Any advice for fellow filmmakers?
For me, film is still about story. Nowadays, the “making” is very accessible, so just work a lot on your script, take your time, try to work with good actors, get advice and guidance if necessary, and put a good team together. I am very thankful for all my crew.

2014 Oscar Nominees // Saul Bass Remixed geminianum:
2014 Oscar Nominees // Saul Bass Remixed
To make the task of creating alternative movie posters for this year’s Oscar nominees a little more interesting, I decided to limit myself to solely remixing famous work of Saul Bass instead of making something completely new. This way my options were very restricted, but at the same time it made the process of finding the solution of representing a movie visually somehow easier (confirming the known rule of ‘limitations driving creativity’).
It’s rare to see a film that is willing to and capable of looking into the mouth of cruelty and examine those ideas carefully and cleverly. Liam Goulding’s Mis Ojos Estan Sangrando (My Eyes Are Bleeding) made at San Jose State University does so unflinchingly, playing with cinematic form in a most alarming way.
Tell us a little about your background and about your film.
I’ve been making films for nearly ten years, and over the course of those ten years, I’ve done my absolute hardest to better myself (since I feel I should be my biggest competition). I’m currently a film major at San Jose State, where I have won at two screenwriting festivals—the 2013 BEA competition and the 2013 CSU competition. I’m primarily a screenwriter, but I have an equal passion for directing. Since first attending State, I have written and directed six short films, including Mis Ojos, about a cameraman who is forced to film the brutality of a Mexican drug cartel and post the horrific videos online for the world to see.
The film seems to function as a video essay, specifically the construction of reality in cinema and viral videos. What inspired you to make the film this way?
I wanted, above all, for Mis Ojos to seem real, as if it were itself a video one would find online. That sense of realism adds to the horror of the cameraman’s situation. It also brings to light the theme of fantasy vs. reality in that because a camera separates the cameraman from the cartel’s victims, in turn the computer screen separates viewers from the carnage: the recorded images themselves could be interpreted as “fake”. It’s because many have been so desensitized to violence in movies that when one watches a brutality video—the real murder of a human being—one’s brain is almost wholly incapable of comprehending the reality (it’s safer for us to think those videos are fake).
Your film raises as tough questions about the role of the filmmaker as well as the role of the audience or consumer. It almost feels like the ending of the film is an indictment of the viewer. Can you talk a bit about that?
The film itself was a way for me to come to terms with brutality videos that I had seen—a way to exorcise the horror and put it into terms I’d be able to understand. Brutality videos are real and people watch them every day, and it’s terrible. I let curiosity get the better of me, but I don’t totally regret my viewing experience. It’s soul-killing to say the least, but the point of Mis Ojos is to condemn those that simply dismiss brutality videos instead of wanting to take action against the true evil that creates them. True evil exists and the supposed good people, the innocents, NEED to be aware that it does. Responsibility is to be had all around—filmmaker/audience. In Ridley Scott’s The Counselor, Brad Pitt’s character relates to [Michael] Fassbender that when one watches a video in which someone is murdered, the viewer is then made an accessory to the murder. You can’t just watch something and then go about your day as if you haven’t been changed by it—that’s what films are meant to do, they’re meant to impact our lives, not simply entertain.
How was it to work with another language?
I’m half Irish and half Mexican, and I’ve lived in East Side San Jose my entire life. With that said, I can understand Spanish far better than I can speak it (I can speak it, just not as well as I’d like to). So when it came time to make Mis Ojos, I consulted native Spanish speakers in order to translate each line correctly. Juan (“The Cameraman”) was a huge help, and he pulled off an amazing performance having never before acted in anything. And I believe the fact that Mis Ojos has subtitles and is in Spanish, it forces audience members to pay more attention to it than they would a film in English.
Any advice for budding filmmakers?
My best advice for fellow filmmakers is: make something that means something to you. And in turn it may end up meaning something to someone else, someone you’ll never even meet.

In just a few scant minutes, the short film Hallelujah by De Anza College filmmaker Mike Libunao manages to play around with those tense, brief moments that feel like an eternity, as white noise becomes unusually perturbing. It’s an effective comedy with a deft punchline.
Hi Mike! Tell us a little about your background.
My journey with the creative field started back in 2001-2003 when I was a member of the Foothill Theatre Conservatory. Acting was my main focus at that point, but I was intrigued by this student-run theatre troupe called “Brown Bag” where the students write, direct, produce and act in all the productions. I don’t know why, but I always felt like I’d be a good writer, so I joined up and tested the waters with writing and directing, and I took to it really well. At that point, I was already wondering if it would transfer over to film, but as life would have it I ended up going overseas for several years and leaving all that behind me. It wasn’t until a year and a half ago after working a desk job for 2.5 years that I finally decided to give filmmaking a try. That question of whether or not I could write & direct for film still lingered in the back of my mind. What I wanted to capture with Hallelujah is that feeling of heightened awareness that one seems to get when they’re anxiously waiting for something, and so far based on audience reactions I guess it’s working.
The film is short, really short, but there’s a LOT of things happening, specifically with that sound design. Can you tell us about the role sound played in the making of the film and the challenges of making such a kinetically mixed soundtrack?
Sound design was definitely incredibly critical in establishing the pace and tone of the film. Like I said, what I wanted to do was try and capture that feeling of heightened awareness that comes over someone when they’re anxiously awaiting something, so I used the soundtrack to achieve this by driving up the sound as the film goes on, repeating them, and making each sound shorter and shorter to really bring things to a boil until it’s about to burst. I have to give credit to Mike Caroza and Alvin Matudio, because they took the sound that we recorded and played around with it in Pro Tools and gave it much more weight, especially for the close-ups. Believe it or not, once I decided on the order in which the shots would be, the sound editing wasn’t that difficult. The great thing about using a ticking clock as your background is that everything can be neatly timed out to 1-second increments.
You have a theatre background, which you can clearly tell by pulling a great performance out of your lead with minimal dialogue. How did you cast your film? What did you learn in theatre that you could bring to film?
Honestly, the casting was just pure happenstance and luck. The film was originally made as an assignment for a directing class I was taking at De Anza College. My two crew members/partners, Mike Caroza and Quentin Harris, and I only had two weeks to complete it. Quentin expressed to me that he had an interest in acting and that he was taking acting classes, so considering that we had such a short timetable and always being the practical guy, I just cast Quentin as my lead and it worked out great!
The biggest advantage I have coming from my theatre background is the fact that I know how to talk to actors. I was an actor myself for a few years, so I know what’s going on through their minds. Acting is really a tough job. It’s not tough in the same sense that being a firefighter is tough, but it’s tough in terms of the actual skill it requires to do it well. I find that getting a good performance from an actor is a balance between being clear with what you want as a director, and giving the actor the freedom to bring their own sensibility into the performance.
The punch line of the film is fantastic, partially because up until the joke, the film is a little bit nightmarish. Can you talk a bit about how you planned multiple shots of, essentially, a man waiting to create tension before the release?
I’m really glad to hear the build up to the punch line/release is working. Basically, I just asked myself what kind of objects around the house would drive me crazy if I were to isolate the noises they produce and just make them louder and louder, and if they kept repeating. At that point. it was just a matter of getting an establishing shot of each object whose sound would be repeated, then getting closer and closer on the subject, and throwing in some off-kilter/dutch angles to increase that feeling of tension and anxiety.
What training did De Anza College provide you to tell your story and how has it influenced you as an artist?
Honestly, everything that I am as filmmaker is a result of the Film/TV Department at De Anza College. I learned all the basic tools and principles in the beginning production class, and every other class from directing, lighting, editing, screenwriting all goes towards refining those basics and moving onto more advanced techniques. What’s great about De Anza is that it’s such a hands-on program. You’re not gonna sit in class for weeks just learning about making a film. You’re actually gonna do it, and pretty much right off the bat sometimes. I truly believe that the best way to learn is by doing, and the De Anza Film/TV program is great for that. You get lots of practical experience.

Looking closely at pictures of props and prop replicas, you can see that there is a small groove in the inside edge of the part where the mechanical components are embedded. The M1 kit is outstanding for its detailed design, but it does not have this groove, which I assume was omitted on purpose because of the difficulty in replicating this with soft vinyl (I’d like to ask the designer about this as well if I get a chance). By closely examining numerous scenes sequences from the movie, I have found out that there are some scenes sequences where they use props without this groove, but nonetheless I have added this groove to the design for the Animatronic Bust. There are a total of four grooves, and it wasn’t easy keeping the edges from looking round. I have also found a picture from the making of the original movie where it shows “holes” close to the groove in some props, but I am assuming this is just a clay prototype prop.

Feminist Mantra Monday 29: Wonder
This week's feminist mantra is all about ... you guessed it ... Wonder Woman. I saw the movie yesterday, and a) really enjoyed it and b) had a lot to think about it.
Tbh, Wonder Woman hasn't really been on my radar. I vaguely knew it was coming out this summer, but it wasn't until I started seeing interviews and reactions that I knew I wanted to see it. (If you're wondering I particularly enjoyed this interview with Gal Gadot (the lead actress), this tweet, and this illustrated look into the history of Wonder Woman [pictured below].)
Seeing the movie yesterday was empowering and exciting and just a lot of fun. I've seen a million action movies and superhero films that I loved, but I didn't anticipate how different it would feel to see one led by a woman. Wonder Woman asserted truths about female power that I've spent the past few years mustering all of my feminist energy to believe, and for that I really loved the film.
I think it's also important to note that Gal Gadot's support of the IDF is also problematic (more on that here). But the more I reflect on it, the more I realize that Wonder Woman is problematic in similar ways. Her fight for "American freedom" comes with colonial implications and complicated politics that also need to be unraveled and disavowed in some instances. We can't consume anything from an a-political or naive stance, but that doesn't mean simply rejecting it either.
So how does all of this get us back to today's mantra? Well, first of all, carve out two hours to go see the film. Then spend a moment in wonder. See what washes over you. And after that moment, get back to the work of embedding it in its context, understanding it critically, and embodying those lessons. I'm a big believer that art and awe are as powerful political tools as fear or necessity. Let's see if we can enact that.


Let There Be Rock - 30 years later
When the original movie hit the streets in the US, reviews were not uniformly favorable. The review of the movie from the New York Times (May 26, 1982) was somewhat less than appreciative.
Let There Be Rock - originally shunned by the media!
“The AC/DC that appears in ''Let There Be Rock'' is not the group as it exists today. Since the movie was made, the tattooed, oafish lead singer, Bon Scott, has died; he was succeeded by Brian Johnson. And musically, the group has grown from a mediocre parody of Led Zeppelin into one of the more craftsmanlike of heavy-metal bands - one whose satanically inclined anthems are shaped with a lean, melodic concision.”
The reviewer, Stephen Holden, goes on to describe the stage antics of Angus Young:
“But the star of AC/DC, then as now, is their lead guitarist, Angus Young, a kind of low-rent Mick Jagger, who literally hurls himself across the stage, shaking cloudbursts of sweat from his hair, duckwalking, doing a striptease in which he bares his behind and, at peak moments of frenzy, wriggling spastically on the floor, clutching his guitar.”
A parody of Led Zeppelin? Tattooed, oafish lead singer Bon Scott? Low-rent Mick Jagger? Indeed, having read thus far, those unfamilar with the band could be excused for giving not only this film a miss, but labeling the entire AC/DC band as a bunch of delinquent rejects.
Unfortunately the author’s review of the film fared almost as badly as that of the band members:
“About three-quarters of the movie is taken up with concert footage filmed in France two years ago. Crudely spliced in are scenes of the group loafing and snippets from an interview in which an off-screen voice asks questions such as ''Are you waiting for the Third World War?'' and ''What do you think of soccer?'' Their responses are almost invariably so garbled - apparently by drunkenness - as to be virtually unintelligible.”
“Technically, the movie is not all it's cracked up to be. At the Ziegfeld, the so-called Wall of Sound, which features a bank of 2,500- to 5,000-watt five-way amplifiers, is loud, to be sure. But it doesn't come close to capturing the reverberating thunder that can make arena rock so viscerally exciting. And in many of the concert scenes the soundtrack is noticeably out of synch with what's on the screen.”
What a difference 30 years can make
There are two obvious aspects to this: firstly, how AC/DC are currently perceived by the general population and by the somewhat more favorable tone of today's media; and secondly, how the technological advancement in sound and film technology can vastly improve both the audio and picture quality of the originating media.
Of course we expect and know that the soundtrack will be in-sync with what is on the screen, but we also know that the color, sharpness, detail, noise reduction and artifact removal will be the focus of nearly a year’s worth of work. The media will have been manipulated in such a manner as to make this movie appear as if it were filmed more recently (bar the obvious giveaways such as fashion / cars etc.) as opposed to something created in Charlie Chaplin times. How far the reparative restoration will go is unknown, in fact there are well over 20 hours of footage that were recorded, this could give way to the introduction of some new material, or provide scope for a more polished presentation of what already exists.
I believe the better this film can be improved the greater the overall impact the movie will have on its audience. The feeling that this could have been filmed a few months ago will invoke a sense of realism that will delight fans both young and old.
Either way….from the curiously phlegmatic to the die-hard AC/DC fan, the film’s re-release on DVD should receive a welcoming nod of approval - even from the media.

Many members of the GrayMist staff are volunteering to help The Japan Research Exchange (JREX) in organizing and running the 4th Annual Boston Japan Film Festival! This year, the Japan Society will be holding the "Post-Disaster Civil Society"; a screening of three films that examine the effects and the lessons that can be learned from the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake. The three screenings will all be followed by a open discussions with the directors. Since the disaster, many members of the GrayMist staff have been dedicated volunteers at Tewassa, an organization created to raise awareness and send support to victims of the earthquake.


When was the last time you watched a movie or a television program and were disappointed that the content opposed your morals? Yesterday? Today? If you lament the decline of values-oriented entertainment options for your family, you are not alone. But there is hope.
I recently had the opportunity to hear a presentation by former U.S. Senator and 2012 presidential candidate Rick Santorum, a faithful Catholic. At present, he is serving as CEO of EchoLight Studios, a fast-growing faith-and-family film production company. For those who see his position as an odd fit, he explains: “If liberal actors and producers can get involved in politics, then conservative politicians can get involved in Hollywood.”
He outlines briefly how the state of the entertainment industry has evolved over the last century:
- For the first 1900 years since the birth of Christ, almost all great art—entertainment, sculptures, music, and the like—was made by or for the Church. Culture reflected the truth and beauty of the faith.
- With the advent of technology, there arose a cultural shift. “Smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions, and movie screens are changing the moral fabric of our country,” Santorum says. The producers of the entertainment content we access via those means “don’t share the values” of people of faith, he continues, and “yet they are the ones shaping the moral imagination of your children.”
Offense, Not Defense
What’s the solution to changing the culture? For decades, those of us who yearn for good, wholesome, virtue-centered entertainment content have found ourselves playing defense. But Santorum advocates getting on the offense. “We have to engage,” he says.
Admittedly, Hollywood is quite skilled at producing content with high production values:
- the writing is sharp
- the actors are accomplished
- the cinematography is gorgeous
- the storylines are gripping
However, there are subtle, if not blatant attempts to desensitize viewers by slipping in scenes that chip away at our moral sensibilities. But what if there were movies made that could sensitize the secular world to the beauty of faith, goodness, and truth? And what if these movies featured stellar production values? People would view these films, and perhaps culture could begin changing from the inside out.
EchoLight Studios is laboring to meet the demand (and, yes, there is a demand) for high-quality and uplifting films that celebrate family and champion faith. Opening in theaters across the country on November 22 is the movie The Christmas Candle. A period piece set in the late Victorian era in a small English country village, the miraculous and human collide in the most astonishing Christmas the village has ever experienced.
A cast of veteran actors, a script based on Max Lucado’s book of the same name, and photography by a Harry Potter cinematographer combine to yield a visually captivating and thoroughly entertaining movie. I invite you to watch the trailer.
Santorum urges those of us who crave entertainment options of this type to see the movie its opening weekend. A strong early turnout of viewers will encourage additional theaters to carry the film, giving more people the opportunity to experience the picture. The snowball effect can be massive.
Light a Candle
I invite you to join me the weekend before Thanksgiving in going to see this movie. And please share the links I’ve provided here with family, friends, and your church leadership. “It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness” is an adage that we can adopt as our own and enact in our lives by going to watch The Christmas Candle, and other movies that oppose the darkness of modern culture by encouraging and inspiring the light of faith.
How can I promote good, wholesome, virtue-centered entertainment in my family?


Trailer Park Boys
I'm so addicted to this show. Jeff and Kate introduced me to this, then I borrowed the Season 1 and 2 DVD, and it is so damn funny. I just found out it's been around since 2001 and there's at least 5 seasons and a movie. woo hoo! It's a Canadian show about the daily happenings of a trailer park community, focusing on 2 guys that keep coming in and out of jail and are always plotting how they are going to turn their lives around. I would highly recommend checking this out.

The Importance of Being Earnest- A Dramanon Production
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
The scene opens with Jack and Algernon, two young, and well-to-do men of dignity. Jack is referred to initially by Algernon as Ernest. He lives a respectful life in the countryside, being a good example to his young ward Cecily. He arrives here to inform Algernon of his desire to ask for Algernon’s cousin, Gwendolyn’s, hand in marriage. It is at this point that a few lies of Jack are exposed. His true name is Ernest, not Jack as he is referred to by Algernon. He is known as Jack in the country and Ernest in the city. In reality, Ernest is an imaginary younger brother of Jack, who was conjured by the elder brother himself to the people of his household at the countryside.
In order to be married to Gwendolyn, Jack must receive the approval of her mother and Algernon’s aunt, Augusta. Reluctant to do so, he is left with no choice as the Lady and her daughter arrive at the house. Augusta and Algernon leave the room to discuss other matters, leaving Gwendolyn and Jack to themselves. Gwen declares her desire to be married to a man of the name ‘Ernest’ which is the name he goes by in the town. He wishes to be officially Christened by this name, and gets down on one knee to propose, only for a disgusted Augusta to reappear. She is disapproving of his proposal, believing him to be too immature and not having been raised well. Moving on, Algergon and Jack talk about how Jack plans to end the story of his younger brother Ernest in the country, where the scene closes.
The nest scene begins at the country home of Cecily, Jack’s ward, having her lessons from Miss Prism. The latter soon departs with Canon Chasuble, who seems to be interested in her. Algergon soon arrives, pretending to be Ernest. While she initially doesn’t like his behavior, she seems to slowly grow fond of it. Once they depart the room, Miss Prism and Canon Chasuble reappear. Soon later, Jack arrives, to inform them of the death of his ‘brother’ Ernest. Jack informs Chasuble of his desire to be christened, to which the latter obliges. Suddenly, Algergon appears , much to Jack’s chagrin, which causes an awkward conversation between the two. As the scene moves on, Algergon(pretending to be Ernest) and Cecily are left alone. Ernest, in the midst of the conversation, aso declares her intentions to be married to a man of the name ‘Ernest’. Algergon attempts to propose to Cecily, who tells him they have already been engaged for three months, which happened by postage and letters. Algergon is caught off guard, as he merely pretends to be Ernest, but manages to hold his own. Gwendolyn arrives at the scene, asking for Ernest(Jack), which causes great confusion between her and Cecily of the identity of the real Ernest, and this results in an unfriendly exchange between the two. At this point, both Jack and Algergon reappear, admitting that Ernest is an imaginary character which was created by both of them to seek love from those they admired.
Following the interval, both the girls question they boys’ fake identities. Though upset, their love for the boys overwhelms them and they both seek to get married to their respective lovers. This causes the two boys to argue over who is to get Christened that evening. Once again, Augusta arrives at an awkward moment, demanding that the two couples keep their distances. Seeing Algergon with Cecily causes Augusta to boil over, as Cecily states that they are engaged. Attempting to defend her honour, Jack defends his ward and makes a big claim about her wealth, which suddenly leads to a complete turn of interests from Augusta. She now begins to approve their marriage, to which Jack himself denies consent, which he is obliged to do being Cecily’s ward. He will only change his mind on the condition that Augusta approves his own marriage to her daughter Gwendolyn. This leads to an argument, with both Jack and Augusta making great claims of how the situation may be twisted and turned.
Chasuble returns to the scene to perform the Christening, which Jack believes cannot happen under the current circumstances. Chasuble happily prepares to depart, informing them that he is to leave to see Miss Prism. The name ‘Prism’ seems to ring a bell to Augusta, who appears to have a history with her. Prism herself arrives, leaving Augusta in shock. The two haven’t seen each other in 28 years. Augusta accuses Prism of having left a baby of their family to die at a railway station. This is cleared up by prism, who says she accidentally put the baby in a bag and a manual in a basinet when she was supposed to do the opposite.
Jack appears with the bag, which Prism onfirms is the same bag she was referring to. It is now revealed that Jack was the baby in the bag and was the child of Augusta’s sister and brother by marriage. This makes Algergon and Jack brothers. It is also found out, by looking into the man’s journal, that Jack was actually named after his true father, Ernest. Inadvertently, all of Jack’s lies had actually been the truth all along. The three couples look at each other with love. The play aptly ends with Jack saying the words ‘on this day I have truly realized The Importance of Being E(a)rnest.
The drama was filled with some brilliant puns and wonderfully executed comedic lines. The comical statements and expressions left the audience highly entertained at the spectacle, and left them wanting more. The background of the story taking place in England was also very well executed by all the actors. Furthermore, the lights and sound effects added to the great theatre. Overall, the drama was wonderfully performed and carried out, yet another successful story play carried out by Dramanon.


As of late, there have been several anime films that have been announced that all sound fantastic! In the summer season and the fall season alone, there are a good deal of seemingly great films that are making it to Japan’s theatres.
Sadly, as most know, unless some of them have an early release to dvd or get licensed, it won’t be a while till we see any of them. Either way, I’m already hyping myself up for several of the releases from the past and upcoming months, so I decided to make a list of the top ten that I’m most excited to see!
Mahou Shojou Madoka Magica Movies (trailer Movie 1)
The only reason this upcoming series of three films didn’t make the list is because two of them are just going to be recaps. Seems extremely unnecessary, but it’s still going to make a ton of money and I guess that’s what matter at the end of the day.
Luckily, the third movie has a lot of potential, but it doesn’t even have a release date, so I’m hoping we won’t have to wait too long for it. Hopefully the recaps will at least offer an interesting way at presenting the story we all already know, or give us even better animation (it already is top notch in the series, but I guess you can always improve somehow!).
10. Steins;Gate Movie
Besides the fact that this is apparently happening, there isn’t much info about this one at all. Even the info about it being released this fall was wrong, and instead the assumptions are that it will only start production in 2012, so seeing it this year is probably not going to happen.
Anyway, the series ended off the series well, then the OVA did a good job to add even extra to the series, so what will this film be able to accomplish? I’m pretty positive it won’t be a recap in the least, but I can’t see what this film could add. Wither way, I’m sure it can pull through with something great, and that’s why I’m excited to see it.
9. Nerawareta Gakuen (trailer)
This is a film produced by Sunrise and directed by Nakamura Ryousuke. I’m not too well aquainted with the director’s work and as of late, Sunrise has just been very half and half in their productions, but watch the trailer!! The animation looks beyond gorgeous and it also looks to be something really worthwhile in story too. Supposedly it’s a sci-fi flick with brainwashing and psychics involved. Sounds pretty interesting to me!
The story is an adaptation from the author behind Gosick, so even though that anime wasn’t all that great, it does leave room for some potential with this one. The director also made Xamd, and that style clearly comes across in the trailers.
The one behind the script (Ichiro Okouchi) also has some talent, having wrote for Code Geass (he’s the creator), Shigofumi, and the most recent Berserk film. The story on paper doesn’t seem all that interesting, but when you pair with what’s going on in the trailer, it looks to be an entertaining watch.
7. Tiger & Bunny Movie 1: The Beginning (trailer)
The tv series was just a joy to watch, and to know there are two more films on the way is simply a fantastic thing to hear! The series left off the story with an intriguing enough plot device to carry into the next two films, so the material is definitely there. Sadly, they changed the director from the series for the movie, and that’s a bit of a shame. As long as the new director manages to still capture the amusing and playful atmosphere the series had, I’ll be satisfied.
The director for this film (Mamoru Hosoda) is the man behind The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars, so clearly the probability that this one is great too, is pretty high. The animation looks to be top notch and it definitely looks like it’ll be both cute and heart-warming.
The only reason why I didn’t place this higher on the list is because personallty, the story doesn’t actually jump up at me as something that is a must see. Nonetheless, I still have more than enough faith in the director that once I do see it, I’ll be blown away once again!
5. Asura (trailer)
They were playing this in my city at a festival about a month ago, and I missed my chance to see it because I’m ultra poor. Such a shame because I would have loved to see this on the big screen. Anyway, it won for the best animated film in the festival, and I’d say that’s a good sign. It looks to be pretty messed up and disturbing.
It takes place in medieval Japan and if I’m not mistaken the mother at one point tries to eat her own child because she’s so hungry. The animation looks to be mostly CG-esque in the trailer, and not all that great to be honest, but it’s hard to tell just through that preview. The director is the creator of Tiger and Bunny, so I think it’s safe to expect some well done action scenes from this film.
4. Sakasama no Patema
All you need to know about this film is that it’s directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura. From Pale Cocoon to Time of Eve and now this, he has just gotten better and better. The promotional pictures look gorgeous, and I won’t expect anything less from the movie itself.
His creations always have such a delicate tone to them, but this one seems like they’re may some more adventure aspects to it than we usually see with him. Point is, my expectations are really high seeing as its his next work, so I hope he doesn’t disappoint!
3. Hanasaku Iroha: Home Sweet Home
A good deal of people had their problems with the series, but if you didn’t already know, I loved Hanasaku Iroha. It created a beautiful setting and characters I really grew to love. So it’s no surprise I’m extremely happy to see more from this series that’s supposedly being released this year. And from what I can tell, they’re keeping the same staff from the series for the movie, which is fantastic to hear because it’ll allow to me get lost in the world they created one last time.
2. Kizumonogatari (trailer)
The trailer alone is enough to prove this is going to be amazing! If my knowledge serves me right (it usually doesn’t), this is the prequel to the Bakemonogatari series where Araragi meets Shinobu and then craziness ensues. It’s going to be fabulous! Shinobu is one of my favourite characters from the show and so I’m definitely excited to see her side of the story. Also, Bakemonogtari and Nisemonogatari have both been nothing short from a joy to watch with all the playful characters, creative use of animation, and pure genius script. I can’t wait to see more!
I love Neon Genesis Evangelion. It’s pretty much my favourite tv series, and then Evangelion 2.0 was one of the best animated films I’ve ever seen. I’m a bit blinded by love for this franchise, but I don’t care, I have expectations that this film will be beyond amazing.
Ya, my expectations are pretty high. Then ending of 2.0 has proved that the films are taken a slightly different route from the series. It was around this time last year that the first preview was introduced with Eyepatch Asuka…In space! I’m still not too sure how I feel about the Eva Units in space, but I have faith it’ll be great.
Kaworu will most likely have a big focus in the upcoming film (yay!). For a character that pretty much only made a thirty minute appearance in the original series, he’s managed to leave one of the biggest impacts on me. Since 1.0, it’s been clear he’s going to have more of a role in the films.
At this point, along with doing their own thing, the films have managed to cover episodes 1-19. My guess is that Evangelion 3.0 will cover what’s left of the tv series along with a few other plot points, like the space stuff, and then Evangelion 4.0 will tie them all off with a new interpretation of the events in End of Evangelion. I couldn’t be more excited!!! Okay, rant done. I seriously cannot wait to see this!

Just a Spoonful of Sugar...
The time is drawing nearer for our return to school and all the exciting things that 2013-2014 will bring. If you haven't already gone, Winnipeg's own outdoor theatre, Rainbow Stage, is playing Disney's Broadway Musical, "Mary Poppins," until the end of Thursday, Aug. 29th.
Some of you may know several of the actors who attend(ed) school in SJSD. Paula Potosky is playing the lead role of Mary Poppins. Cory Wojcik is also a SJSD grad who acted in numerous plays and musicals in the school division. Also, Jenessa Lee, who plays the role of Jane Banks, is a current participant in the Divisional Musical Theatre program. Below is the link to the Free Press review of "Mary Poppins," followed by an article about Paula.
This is a wonderful production that's sure to bring back childhood memories and be one for your children to remember for a long time!
I remember my first trip to Rainbow Stage when I was about 10 years old. I saw Disney's production of Peter Pan and I was immediately caught up in the magic of the theatre. I distinctly remember the colors, smells and sound as the magical story came alive through the singing, dancing, costumes and staging.
Wpg Free Press - Something Magical About Mary
Wpg Free Press - Paula Potosky Interview


You really shouldn’t watch dramas at two in the morning. You’re in this hyper awake state and your emotions are more volatile. In the quiet darkness, bathed in the glow of your ipad, everything seems a little surreal and unbalanced. And the bittersweet ending of a drama affects you more than it should. And you end up writing a review fueled by the leftover highs of those emotions.
The KBS drama special, When Roses Last Bloomed, is vastly different from what I expected, which was something more maudlin and melodramatic. Instead, it has the feel of an introspective indie film. Despite its melodramatic material, the drama’s modus operandi is slice-of-life. It quietly highlights the mundane and is wonderfully slow paced. The music is minimal, the editing seamless, and the camera distanced, but not detached. And, for the most part, it keeps its grace until the end, though the quality of the writing drops.

full Orchestra conducted by Gerard Salonga
CC:Concepts will present the Star Wars: A New Hope In Concert featuring screenings of the complete film with Oscar®-winning composer John Williams’ musical score performed live to the film. The concert will be led by acclaimed conductor Gerard Salonga.

A political thriller is a thriller that is set against the backdrop of a political power struggle. They usually involve various extra-legal plots, designed to give political power to someone, while his opponents try to stop him. They can involve national or international political scenarios. Political corruption, terrorism, and warfare are common themes. Normally the political party in power has ulterior motives and often will wish for total Fascist control and will work alone or with a shadow cabinet. Political thrillers can be based on true facts such as the assassination of John F Kennedy or the Watergate Scandal. There is a strong overlap with the conspiracy thriller.
When reviewing the film The Interpreter, Erik Lundegaard attempted a definition:
The basic plot is an ordinary man pulling an innocent thread which leads to a mess of corruption. The corruption should be political or governmental in nature.
Before 1950 there were spy novels with political elements. The actual political thriller came to life in the early days of the Cold War.Graham Greene‘s The Quiet American (1955) tells about the American involvement in Vietnam during the First Indochina War. Richard Condon‘s The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is set in the aftermath of the Korean War and the days of McCarthyism. In Frederick Forsyth‘s The Day of the Jackal an assault on Charles de Gaulle has to be prevented.
Several Alfred Hitchcock films already contain elements of the political thriller. In The Man Who Knew Too Much a political assault has to be prevented. In 1962 John Frankenheimer made a film adaptation of The Manchurian Candidate. All the President’s Men is based on theWatergate Scandal. other examples of political thrillers are Z, Three Days of the Condor, JFK and City Hall. Several post-9/11 political thriller films refer to the September 11 attacks or terrorism in general. Producer Kevin Feige described the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier as a political thriller, and V For Vendetta.
A playwright who has embraced the genre is Gary Mitchell, who in the 2000s became “one of the most talked about voices in European theatre … whose political thrillers have arguably made him Northern Ireland’s greatest playwright”.

DVD I- The Original Classic Restored—177 minutes
Vito Corleone [Marlon Brando], the Godfather, is one of the five top Mafia Dons America and he’s out for all the power he can garner by gaining control of senators, gambling, the union, police, and anyone unfortunate enough to ask a favor. When Vito Corleone grants a favor, the one seeking it belongs to Vito forever. Despite the fact that favors usually include murder, Vito Corleone doesn’t look at himself as a murderer. Instead he wields justice and that’s not a crime. To stay in control, Vito Corleone sets spies in all the Families. The Godfather has three sons and a daughter: Sonny [James Caan], Fredo [John Cazale], Michael [Al Pacino], Connie [Talia Shire] and Tom Hagen [Robert Duvall], who is like a son.
Michael [Al Pacino] refuses any part in the Mafia, but when his father Vito is shot, Michael comes forth to wreak revenge. He kills the shooter and flees the country to Don Tommasino, the Big Cheese in Sicily.
War breaks out in the Mafia Families and Sonny gets killed. The families meet for a truce but will each of them pay the cost of peace? All the families want power, they have it, but it never seems to be enough.
DVD II—202 minutes—
Flashbacks describing Vito Corleone’s childhood, his beginning in the Mafia after being smuggled into America, the early life of Vito as the Godfather, the birth of his children and his death are alternated with the present time.
In the present…
Michael [Al Pacino] is now Don Corleone and the first scene shows his station as some of his men kiss his ring. The kissing is a sign of the loyalty and respect suited to the Don of a Mafia Family.
Since his return, Michael marries his first love Kay [Diane Keaton] and has a son. At the son’s first communion, Michael lives through his first assassination attempt by two men hired by Hyman Roth [Lee Strasberg]. Hyman Roth is in control of the Rosato Brothers in New York.
Michael goes to see Hyman in Miami, leaving all the power to Tom Hagen. While in Miami, Michael learns his brother Fredo and Hyman set him up for the assassination attempt and he calls for Fredo to meet him in Miami. There Michael grabs his brother’s face and kisses him on the lips [a kiss of death].
Don Michael Corleone is squeezed by a senator in Nevada for money for gambling and hotels in Nevada. Hyman Roth ratted him out. Michael wins clearance against the government committee and goes after Hyman Roth again and gets him.
DVD III—170 minutes—
New York City 1979
Don Michael Corleone, the Godfather, is writing a letter to his children asking them to attend an award ceremony for him. They are with their mother Kay.
Michael started a Vito Corleone foundation for the impoverished, restoring Sicily; grants to artists, funds for medical research– very good and legitimate things to do. He desired to get straight, to get out of the business.
The church goes to Michael for help to cover a 695 million dollar deficit in a foundation that the Catholic Church started. Michael gives 600 million to take it over. Michael’s lawyer [George Hamilton] takes care of the matter for him, but when Pope IV becomes ill Michael learns that if the Pope dies, he will not own.
In Atlantic City, New Jersey, the mob bosses meet and Michael tells them that he is going straight. One of them gets mad, leaves the room and tries to kill all of the mob bosses, but Michael and a few get out.
Michael says “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” That saying turned out to be the best catch phrase of the 90’s. Michael has a diabetic stroke, and goes into a coma. While Michael is in the coma, Connie and Vincent put a hit on the man that did the massacre and kills him.
Michael tells his sister Connie how he wants to go straight, but the higher he goes the more crooked things are. He makes Vincent the new don of the family. Everyone goes to the opera to hear Anthony. The Corleone family settles all accounts by killing the ones that betrayed them. In the last scene we see Michael at a very old age in Sicily where he dies of natural causes.
DVD 4—The 2001 Archival Supplements
These supplements are offered to the hearing impaired in English, French, Spanish or none, if you can hear. They are Godfather World, The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t, …when the shooting stopped, Emulsional Rescue: Revealing the Godfather, The Godfather on the Red Carpet, Four Short Films on The Godfather, and 2008 Credits.
DVD 5—All New 2008 Supplements
These are Behind the Scenes [I love to watch how the moviemakers set up the stunts or do other special effects.] Filmmakers, Galleries, The Family Tree and Additional Scenes. All supplements should be experienced at least once. They are fascinating and informative.
What works for me:
The music fits the show beautifully. Great actors brought the story to life. There are few who could act the Godfather like Marlon Brando in the first movie and Al Pacino in the other movies. No other actors could have made such great supporting characters as those chosen to fill the roles of Corleone’s family. Crime and the Mafia are brought to life before our very eyes.
It is simply amazing how the Godfather movie has influenced so many other movies, even Bart Simpson. What is good, also, is that the Godfather has brought so much humor to so many people despite the seriousness of the content. Truly a worthy set for anyone’s personal library.
