#TIFF17 has come and gone, and like most years — it kicked my ass. I saw 32 films this year between Thursday September 7 and Friday September 15 (along with 4 before the festival even began), shattering my previous best of 25 films from previous years. And I tied my personal best number of films seen in 1 day at 5. I was hoping to see 6, but the combination of Revenge starting almost an hour late (at 1AM no less) and the eye-opening experience of watching mother! were a bit too much to handle. So while I am disappointed that I cut this year short, I am more than satisfied with what I did see.
I had a lot of activity going on Twitter reviewing all the films quickly, but did get to write out a few journals for the great Oscar-tracking site NextBestPicture.com. Here are the links to the journals filled with thoughts on the films I saw, as well as some of my experiences (including getting to tell Nicolas Cage he was my spirit animal!).
On the Ground at TIFF – Days 1 & 2
Film Highlights — Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!
On the Ground at TIFF – Days 3 & 4
Film Highlights — The Current War, Molly’s Game, mother!
On the Ground at TIFF – Days 5 & 6
Film Highlights — Darkest Hour, The Disaster Artist, The Shape of Water
On the Ground at TIFF – The Final Days
Film Highlights — Mudbound, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
And here are the links to the capsule reviews I wrote for my favourite film and celebrity news site, Mr. Will Wong:
The Shape of Water
Until next September!
Tomorrow marks the beginning of TIFF — the Toronto International Film Festival. It runs for 11 days every September, this year’s running September 10-20. Nearly 300 films are screened from all over the world, and the buzz and excitement is simply unrivaled. There is just so much to do, and so much to see, that it actually becomes quite stressful planning it all. Are you going to see movies? See stars? Try to sneak into the parties? There is no right answer as everyone does something different.
I took a bit more time off work this year, so I am hoping to beat my record of seeing 19 films in 11 days (though I will not try beating my record of seeing 5(!) films in a day). And unlike previous years, I will be blogging and writing capsules of all of the films I manage to see. I may even put up a few of my best celeb photos. The goal is to be on here daily, telling stories and letting you know which films to seek out during and long after the festival when some of these movies finally see the light of day.
I have seen 2 films so far (at private and embargoed critics’ screenings last week), and their reviews should go up sometime in the next few days over on Mr. Will Wong’s website. I know I said I’ll be posting celebrity photos, but none of mine will ever compare to his — so keep an eye on that site for updates, and for reviews from me and the rest of the crew who will be all over the festival.
So kick back and prepare for the madness. But just remember, we’ll get through this.
As a film fan in Toronto, I can say I am very excited to see Suicide Squad when it is finally unleashed next August. And I can say I was even more excited to finally see some legit footage from the movie yesterday.
I have been following it intently, and even went to a few of the outdoor shoots throughout May. I was there the first night when Will Smith and apparently, Ben Affleck, were on set. I saw a bit of the digital effects work going into scenes with Smith and Margot Robbie outside of Bay Station (made up to look like a subway station from Metro City).
And I even got to see the friggin’ Batmobile one night alongside well over 500 other people cramming onto a long block of Yonge Street. It was so crazy that night that filming was delayed for 4 hours, and the on-duty police told people they had to go home before shooting would commence again. This, after they escorted the Batmobile up and down the street in all its glory.
Ghostbusters II came out in the summer of 1989. I was 2-years-old, but remember seeing it in a hotel room during a family trip at some point around then. I distinctly remember the pink slime in the sewers, and the guys riding on the Statue of Liberty. I watched the original Ghostbusters religiously before and after that time (on a taped VHS no less), but did not see that movie again for many years after that. From what I can tell and surmise, it continues to not hold up very well at all. Yet I clamoured for more adventures from Venkman, Egon, Spengler and Winston beyond the Saturday morning cartoons, but the years and rumours came and went, and Ghostbusters III never arrived.
In 2009, the flawed but really enjoyable Ghostbusters: The Video Game was released with the majority of the original cast intact, along with a story taking place very shortly after the second film. It was not the sequel we all had been hoping for, but it was as close as we ever got.
I say this all because what I really want to see, and what I will bet just about every film fan alive in the 1980’s and early 1990’s wants to see, is Ghostbusters III. But with Harold Ramis passing away, and the remaining cast not getting any younger, this pipe dream seems like a virtual impossibility.
But fear not – because Sony confirmed yesterday that on top of Paul Feig’s female-lead spiritual sequel/reboot/reinvention/whatever coming next July, they also have a Channing Tatum-lead follow-up planned, another follow-up involving an Avengers-style team-up between both of the new Ghostbuster teams, and some form of a prequel. Whether this is a full-fledged remake of the first film or not remains to be seen. So more or less, Sony is creating another enchanted cinematic universe. Continue Reading
I really do not understand why, but I feel compelled to write about Robin Williams tonight. He was found dead this morning, an apparent suicide after suffering from severe depression. While there have been many of the obligatory “RIP” posts on Facebook and Twitter (including one from myself), there have been just as many, if not more, talking about mental illness and how to help/get help if you or a loved one is suffering. That’s great and all, but do we really need to wallow on the circumstances of his death, or should we be praising the resume of incredible work this gifted comedian and actor left behind?
The Bastardization of the American Dream
By David Baldwin
*Please note this article contains spoilers*
This past weekend, Michael Bay finally unleashed his long gestating Pain & Gain with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson. It made just over $20-million, nearly one-fifth of the opening of Bay’s last film – Transformers: Dark of the Moon. It had its share of problems (a lengthy and verbose first act, an almost criminal use of narration and a really odd tonal structure to name just a few), but it is easily the best work Bay has done in well over a decade. The man is known for spectacle, and this is his least spectacular film yet.
As I left the theatre, I was unsure of how I felt about the film. It certainly was not at all what I was expecting, especially from an “auteur” like Bay. But at the same time, I was very impressed with what I had just witnessed. I felt disgusted with myself, especially after how much I have hated pretty much the entirety of his directorial output (save for The Rock, which remains one of my favourite action films to this day). But there was something about the film, something I did not quite catch onto as I watched it, that acted as the narrative crux of the whole thing. It dawned on me a few days later, rather obviously, that this was the inherent quest to obtain the American Dream. I mention the phrase and immediately it evokes an aura of tall tales and myths, of true stories of glory and failure – the never-ending search for a practically unattainable euphoria. It is exactly what the characters in this sordid and bleak tale crave the most. It drives their actions, reactions, and is ultimately the cause of their downfall. Well, that and their own stupidity.

No real blog post from me this time, just my urging you to read Errol Morris’s interview with Ricky Jay in today’s New York Times, “Seven Lies About Lying (Part 1).” It’s quite wonderful.
Errol Morris is a filmmaker whose movie The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons From the Life of Robert S. McNamara won the Academy Award for best documentary feature in 2004. He has also directed Gates of Heaven, The Thin Blue Line, and a bunch of other movies, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Ricky Jay is one of my absolute favorites. He’s an actor (he had a small part in the superb HBO series Deadwood, playing a card sharp, and I seem to remember him doing a guest shot on CSI), bibliophile, historian of magic, arguably the greatest living sleight-of-hand artist, and a master of the art of deception.


Презентація на тему «I Am Legend»
I Am Legend
I Am Legent (2007), directed by Francis Lawrence. Is fantasy, thriller, drama film.
The main stars are Will Smith (Robert Nevyll) and his dog Sam (Samanta).
In New York an unknown virus that killed half the population of the globe and the other half turned into a vampire or zombie.
The plot is built around the only surviving person with unexplained immunity, nights holding endless siege of ghouls, and the day trying to find an antidote, and find out the causes of the epidemic.
However, most of the special effects are excellent and the acting is good as well.
I really enjoyed I Am Legend. It's really a good film.

A few weeks ago, the STEPT crew went down to Mammoth Mountain to shoot some park for their new film ‘Mutiny’, which releases this fall. Here are some photos of the guys chilling during the down time off the snow in some California sun.


The Avernus Arc is the name given to the first mini-plot arc in the Future AoM timeline. It is set on the plane of Avernus, within the halls of the Mountain King. It has only just begun, and is still in progress.
The plot will take place on Avernus, within Avernus Mountain. It opens with a great portal appearing in Arcanis, which attracted ten students through it, taking them directly onto the Golden Road. They then venture into the cave, following a powerful and magical voice which speaks of a time when he was a student at the academy. During this, the voice causes vivid memories to play within the students minds, rather like visions of a different place.

The Apostrophe Strikes Back
April 3, 2015
by: Chelsea Zimmerman
“Always use apostrophes when something is missing, you should.” – Yoda
- Correct: Luke didn’t complete his training before facing Darth Vader.
- Incorrect: The Rebel Alliance wasnt able to escape the evil forces of the Empire without the
help of Luke Skywalker. (Correct: wasn’t)
“Use an apostrophe to indicate a span of years, we do not.” – Yoda
(Translation: Apostrophes DO NOT need to be used when indicating the span of a decade.)
- Correct: The Empire Strikes Back was one of the most popular films of the 1980s.
- Incorrect: The first film of the series, Star Wars, was released in the 1970’s. (Correct: 1970s)
(Translation: Apostrophes DO become a requirement when indicating ownership, but they are used differently depending on whether the subject is singular or plural.)
- Correct: Luke Skywalker’s father, Anakin Skywalker, became Darth Vader when he joined the Emperor.
- Incorrect: Lukes mentor, Yoda, lived on the planet Dagobah. (Correct: Luke’s)
- Correct: The Skywalker siblings’ mother does not appear in the original Star Wars trilogy.
- Incorrect: The wookiees home planet is Kashyyyk. (Correct: wookiees’)
“Always the exception, ‘it’ is.” – Yoda
(Translation: “It” is the exception to the rule of using apostrophes for ownership. One uses an apostrophe followed by an “s” on the end of “it” only when the sentence should read “it is.” When indicating ownership, “its” does not need an apostrophe.)
- Correct: It’s hatred and anger that threaten to turn Luke Skywalker over to the dark side.
- Incorrect: It’s power to destroy a planet made the Death Star a huge threat to the Rebel Alliance. (Correct: Its)


Media School is a dynamic, integrated program that helps Grade 11 students grow into independent learners in a caring community setting.

I’ve never considered myself a romantic and especially not a helpless one, but when I consider the movies on my personal top 10 list I may have to reconsider.
1)Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961 Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard)
I love this movie for many reasons. More than anything because it somewhat forces the viewer to look at themselves. Holly Golightly had a hard life growing up and decided to run from it and hide from the world, she also ended up hiding from herself. It takes her cute neighbor to point this out to her and make her see that she cant spend her life running from her own ghosts. ***sigh*** life lesson number 1.
2)His Girl Friday (1940 Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell)
“Friday” is the perfect career woman. She is dominating in a male dominated field. The one thing she doesn’t have and wont take a proper amount of time for is love. Of course by the end of the movie she realizes that she cant continue to push love to the side. We all need someone and its not impossible to have a career and a husband, you just have to find the balance. Life lesson #2
3)To have and Have Not (1944 Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall)
The chemistry between Boggie and Bacall in this movie is just magical. She’s young, he’s not. She’s a bit forward for 1944 but it works on and off screen. The two were married at Malabar Farms, which is now an Ohio State Park in Richland County, shortly after the filming of this movie. (http://parks.ohiodnr.gov/malabarfarm)
Life lesson #3, in case its not obvious Love doesn’t always come in the package you are expecting
4) A Patch of Blue (1965 Sidney Poitier, Shelly Winters)
This is supposed to be a romance and I guess I can see it but thats not at all how I would describe this movie. Selina has an abusive home life, Gordon finds a way to get her out. I see this movie as being more about helping those around us that are in need. To make the story even more interesting and where I assume the “romance” comes in. Selina is a blind, white teenager and Gordon is a black male at least 10 years older. The movies deals with all the classic issues of interracial relationships of that day. All in all this movie feels good.
Life lesson #4, help those you can
5)Gone with the Wind (1939 Clarke Gable, Viven Leigh)
This is a super long movie so of course a lot happens, but what I remember and love the most about this movie, aside from Miss. Scarlett wanting to showcase her boobs at the BBQ, was when Scarlet declared she would never be poor again. (You’ll have to watch the movie to find out how that happened) Sometimes to conquer a situation in our life we have to declare that it can no longer be a situation in our life. Life lesson #5
6) Sabrina (1954 Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn)
Two of my favorite actors in one movie. In this movie Sabrina is the shy, awkward daughter of the help, with a major crush on the youngest son of her fathers employer. Of course he doesn’t notice her and she doesn’t notice how sound the older brother is. In the end the right people end up together. (See life lesson #3)
7) Casablanca (1942 Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman)
I know this movie is on every great movie list but this is really a great movie. Theres so much to the story if you pay attention, secret pasts, lost lovers, back room illegal activity, a war, people buying passage to America and great music. This movie is worth seeing more than once.
8) To Sir with Love (1967 Sidney Poitier, Judy Geeson)
Such a powerful movie about how sometimes people (in this case a group of teenagers) just need someone to show them how much they care. And you know what else is great about this movie, its a black teacher and a group of white kids. The other way around is way over done in American cinema. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB9npoIeH0E
(see life lesson #4)
9)Arsenic and Old Lace (1944 Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane)
Crazy old ladies poisoning and burying lonely old men in the cellar to “help them find peace.” The movie is hilarious. Life lesson #6 do not drink homemade Elderberry wine offered to you by two old maids.
10)Singing in the Rain (1952 Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor)
I don’t normally like musicals but this one made me feel good so its on the list. I don’t remember the storyline but I remember it made me happy. Life lesson # 7 be happy


Well, there’s such a thing in movies too. There are certain stereotypical things that happen in movies all the time that never happen in real life …
People are always able to grab onto something as they fall, like a ledge.
They can then hang from said ledge forever by their fingertips.
And then, they can pull themselves up. Are you kidding? 99% of all Americans, me included, couldn’t do a single pull-up if their lives depended on it.
No one in movies can hit the broad side of a barn with a gun. A huge gun fight, dozens of people firing every which way, and no one gets hit, which is good since …
People in movies hide behind car doors from bullets. That doesn’t work in real life.
People constantly knock each other out cold in movies … and then the knocked-out person gets up and is fine.
When someone gets shot or stabbed, they keel over immediately, dead, OR they have time to give a long, eloquent speech before dying gracefully. No unsightly blood, shit or cries of agony.
Wonderful sex in shower or tub, often surrounded by hundreds of candles. (Who lit those?)
People have sex in movies with the blankets over their heads.
Also, they fall out of bed – and keep going.
No talk of contraception, ever.
Normal people live in spacious apartments in Manhattan. No.
Just as he’s about to kill someone and get away, the bad guy stops to explain and gets caught.

Warner Brothers Drops First Look Joker Trailer
Warner Brothers dropped some straight fire this morning with their 1st Look Trailer for JOKER starring Joaquin Phoenix.
If the trailer is any indication, Phoenix has brought a new level of eeriness to a character that’s counted some of the Hollywood’s finest ever talent among its roster of “Jokers.”
“JOKER,” co-written by Todd Philips (Hangover 2, Old School) and Scott Silver , is set in the year 1981 with Phoenix embodying the role of Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who’s heart turns cold and criminal in Gotham City’s shadowy underworld.
What do you think about Phoenix’s version of Joker? Will you leave the house to see it?

These monsters don't hide in your closet.
“Monster Boy” is an animation project currently in the works at Bournemouth University. It is based in a world where humans carry invisible “monsters”. These creatures are always attached to their bodies in some way, and represent all that is negative about that person’s personality. Their forms are impressioned by aspects of their host, but exist in a plane entirely seperate to reality. They cannot affect the real world, nor can they be seen or heard.
The main character, however, breaks this mould when he first becomes aware of his monster, the self-titled Vex, at age 13. At first, the boy can only hear his voice, but Vex is quick to reveal himself, and the idea of monsters, to him.The boy discovers that, indeed, he is not alone. Everyone he meets has a monster of their own design, yet are completely unaware of them: his teachers, the school children, even his own parents.
As Vex will explain to the boy in due time, these monsters seem to appear to humans in times of turmoil, and represent their current situation. For example, Chris is suffering greatly from an inferiority complex and artistic frustration, of which Nexus is quick to remind him.
The story explores the lives of the three main characters, and how their monsters affected them; it addresses topics such as bullying, loneliness, social awkwardness, loss of loved ones, etc.
Monster Boy was created by Rebekka Hearl. Once she graduates, she hopes to pitch this idea and the work to an animation company, in hopes of having it produced as a computer animated feature film. Currently, she is uploading the pre-production work to her deviantART, YouTube, and Tumblr. Proper production of a 3-5 minute computer animated scene is expected to commence in the fall.


Lionsgate Finally Admits Jigsaw's Game Will Continue in Eighth 'Saw'
Even while Lionsgate was promoting the release of Saw 3D last July-October we'd been hearing internal rumblings that an eighth film would most definitely be happening - at least after the franchise took a much needed short hiatus.
Liongate Vice Chairman Michael Burns recently spoke with CNBC and openly revealed that a new film was in the cards.
"I'm sure, some day, you'll see Saw back in the picture." Burns said, speaking on the potential return of Jigsaw and his infamous games of life and death.
Other than the upcoming The Hunger Games, Lionsgate doesn't have any other major franchises (unless you count Tyler Perry's name). Unless they push hard with You're Next, doing another Saw is a very smart way to some financial gain.
Saw 3D was far from closure, which is why I personally would like to see another film. What do you say? What do you want to see?
Whether you realized it or not, this past Halloween was the first one in seven years without a new Saw movie in theaters. 2010 brought audiences the seventh film, Saw 3D, which was the most expensive of the series thus far. However, while it did receive a nice box office bump thanks to inflated 3D ticket prices, the film failed to perform up to lofty expectations. Producers decided it was time for Jigsaw and his minions to take a break and this year, Paranormal Activity 3 was the lone major horror Halloween release.


In 1983 Dennis Hopper went to Rice University in Houston, Texas ostensibly to screen his latest film Out Of The Blue. But little known to anyone, other than Hopper and a handful of his buddies, he had another agenda entirely. While he did indeed screen his movie, Hopper had actually come to Houston to blow himself up. After screening Out Of The Blue, Hopper arranged to have the audience driven by a fleet of school buses to a racetrack on the outskirts of Houston, the Big H Speedway. Hopper and the buses arrived at the speedway just as the races were ending and a voice was announcing over the public address system “stick around folks and watch a famous Hollywood film personality perform the Russian Dynamite Death Chair Act. That’s right, folks, he’ll sit in a chair with six sticks of dynamite and light the fuse.”
Was famous Hollywood personality Dennis Hopper about to go out with a bang? Hopper apparently learned this stunt when he was a kid after seeing it performed in a traveling roadshow. If you place the dynamite pointing outwards the explosion creates a vacuum in the middle and the person performing the stunt is, if all goes according to plan, unharmed. After bullshitting for awhile with the crowd and his friends, a drunk and stoned Hopper climbed into the “death chair’ and lit the dynamite.
Rice News correspondent describes the scene:
Dennis Hopper, at one with the shock wave, was thrown headlong in a halo of fire. For a single, timeless instant he looked like Wile E. Coyote, frazzled and splayed by his own petard. Then billowing smoke hid the scene. We all rushed forward, past the police, into the expanding cloud of smoke, excited, apprehensive, and no less expectant than we had been before the explosion. Were we looking for Hopper or pieces we could take home as souvenirs? Later Hopper would say blowing himself up was one of the craziest things he has ever done, and that it was weeks before he could hear again. At the moment, though, none of that mattered. He had been through the thunder, the light, and the heat, and he was still in one piece. And when Dennis Hopper staggered out of that cloud of smoke his eyes were glazed with the thrill of victory and spinout.
In this video footage shot by filmmaker Brian Huberman, we see Hopper in all his intoxicated glory before and after his death defying stunt. Huberman on the film clip:
The large guy making the sign of the cross is the writer Terry Southern and the jerk threatening to blow up my camera is the German filmmaker, Wim Wenders.
“HOLLYWOOD’S BEST FILM DIRECTORS” is a half hour show that offers a distinctive peek inside the creative minds of Hollywood’s best directors. A personal and insightful look into the lives, influences and original style of today’s top film directors. A fascinating profile that explores each directors unique process for creating some of the most memorable and enduring movies of our times.
The work print is the holy grail of film collecting. These are the vastly long, rough versions of a picture, containing much of the movie-making fat that is trimmed out by the editing process. For years, film collectors tap their keyboards until their fingers bleed in attempts to track down the bum-numbing versions of movies such as Dune and This Is Spinal Tap for the unseen gems they may or may not hold. Of all the legendary work prints out there, the most persistently tantalising prospect is seeing the rumoured 289-minute version of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. The theatrical release print runs a mere 153 minutes, and the Redux reissue 202 minutes, so the work print offers almost an hour and a half of unseen footage. To a serious film geek, the prospect is unthinkably exciting - surely it couldn’t be true?
Despite a lack of tangible proof that it even existed - including denials from the film’s producers - the most dedicated collectors spent years searching for it, until something supposed to be this grail-like object found its way into the public domain. After exhaustive negotiations with an American film collector who had tracked down a copy, I found myself signing for an airmail package, booking the day off work and settling down for some serious viewing.
The first thing to point out is that to call this five-hour work print a “rough cut” is a mistake. It’s an “everything-and-the-kitchen-sink” cut, which takes almost all the material from the 238-day shoot and tapes it together in a linear form. The work print moves at a snail’s pace, with unfeasibly long scenes. The Ride of the Valkyries helicopter episode alone accounts for well over 30 minutes of footage. Scenes that, with expert editing, would become tense and compelling simply drift along aimlessly, interesting only to anoraks for the extra line of dialogue here and there.
There are, however, gems amid the mass of footage, which leave the viewer wondering how Coppola could have taken the scissors to them. Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz has three extra scenes, which more than quadruple the size of his part. In one, Brando reads from Time magazine to an imprisoned Martin Sheen. In another he delivers a monologue to Sheen about the “master liars” in Washington who “want to win, but can’t stand to be thought of as cruel”. In a third, he reads TS Eliot’s The Hollow Men, while Dennis Hopper gets excited and says “man” a lot. One of the things removed from the film for the cinematic release, along with the extra footage, is its political conscience. Scenes in which the characters question and criticise the US involvement in Vietnam and the conduct of American government are cut. Themes of politics give way to an exploration of the human nature and psychology.
Of all the cuts, the unkindest are dealt to Scott Glenn’s character, Colby, Willard’s predecessor, who was charged with killing Kurtz, but instead falls under his spell. In the work print, Colby is revealed to be a significant character who taunts an imprisoned Willard and, more importantly, shoots Hopper’s character before being killed himself. Likewise, the character of Lance (played by Sam Bottoms) gets extra scenes designed to show his instability. In one, he inexplicably machine-guns a water buffalo, while screaming: “I control the destiny of every living thing which passes before my sights.”
It took Coppola and his editors more than 700 days to turn a million feet of celluloid into a watchable film. What the work print makes clear are the choices editors are forced to make when faced with almost unlimited footage. Scenes that drove the crew to the brink of madness and Coppola to the edge of financial ruin were dropped without sentiment - simply because they didn’t improve the story. —Gordon Coates, The Guardian, Friday 17 October 2008
My copy of the Apocalypse Now Workprint runs some 5 hours and came as a 2-DVD set. The Workprint is a distillation of the masses of footage Coppola shot for Apocalypse Now, and should be considered a rough draft of the Original Cut of the film. The Workprint features no narration, no dialogue looping, no sound FX and none of the original score. As well as extra footage the Workprint contains alternative takes, alternative dialogue, a temp soundtrack, and in some cases absent scenes that would appear only in the Original Cut. The quality of the Workprint is very poor but watchable. —Apocalypse Now The 5-hour Workprint


On the Move : Snapshots from Home
Z-Pac is on the move, bringing theatre out to the community. Z-Pac President Liane Mills explained that launching Z-Pac On The Move overcomes mobility limitations constraining access to theatre.
The premier production launched this month, Snapshots from Home, is set in the early 1940s, the location is Brisbane, & the script is real. Director Jonathon Dunn portrays snapshots from that era, collected from memoirs recorded after the end of World War 2.
On The Move performances are designed to be easily transported & performed with limitations to space, no stage & a one hour time limit on performances. The current show features 4 cast members who transport the audience to the reminiscent period in Brisbane.
Do you know a community group, aged care facility, school, RSL or any venue or group, that may be interested in hosting a show. For this current show, there is a small royalty fee of $300 per performance, but the actors are volunteers. They require a small space to perform, approximately 6m x 4m, & of course enough room for the audience. At one hour in length, there is ample time for a performance to be scheduled between meal times.
As we approach Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day 2020, consider this performance to focus on what life was like in the era of World War 2.

How to Watch Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-Nominated Film ‘The Fabelmans’ Online
ARTICLE AD BOX
Steven Spielberg’s new semi-autobiographical film, The Fabelmans, won best picture (drama) at the 2023 Golden Globes and is nominated for best picture at the 2023 Oscars. With numerous honors and an impressive amount of Oscar buzz, you won’t want to miss out on watching Spielberg's latest movie. Expected to hit Peacock later this year, The Fabelman's is now available to buy or rent online.
Loosely based on Spielberg’s own upbringing, The Fabelmans follows Sammy, a young boy who falls in love with the art of filmmaking after his family takes him to see The Greatest Show on Earth. Gabriel LaBelle stars alongside Michelle Williams, Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and Judd Hirsch.
"It was beautiful," Dano told ET of the filming experience. "When the captain of the ship is willing to be that open and vulnerable and naked with us, it only invites us to do the same back to him."
"Steven had opened his heart to us,” Williams, who plays Sammy’s mother, told ET. “And then we opened our hearts to him."
Ahead of the 95th Academy Awards on March 12, here’s how you can watch Spielberg’s most vulnerable movie yet from the comfort of your own home.
How to watch The Fabelmans online
Steven Spielberg’s highly personal coming-of-age story is currently available to rent for $6 on Prime Video or purchase for $20 on Apple TV and Vudu.
Is The Fabelmans streaming anywhere?
The Fabelmans is distributed by Universal Pictures, meaning when it does become available to stream, it will likely be streaming on Peacock. No streaming release date for The Fabelmans has been set yet.
In the meantime, plenty of other big movies of the year are currently streaming on Peacock, including Jordan Peele’s Nope and the Billy Eichner rom-com, Bros.

Starring: Charles King, Anita Page, Bessie Love
Director: Harry Beaumont
“Chick fights, bleach blonde jokes and a gay guy in wardrobe. Some things never change.”
That quote is from my girlfriend, who will be popping up here and there along this journey. She’s agreed to watch most of the movies with me when it’s convenient to her. While I did try to get her to watch the entire list as sort of a project we could do together, there were several that she refuses to watch. At the very top of the list is Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. She is adamant that she will never watch this movie. I tried to explain to her that, since I’m making personal sacrifices by re-watching Chicago and finally seeing Crash all the way through, she should make sacrifices herself.
This plan of attack did not work well.
But, she did agree to see what The Broadway Melody was all about.
The movie is sometimes know as The Broadway Melody of 1929 due to its success spawning three sequels, in 1936, 1938 and 1940. It is also said to be the first movie to spawn sequels, a fact that I’m sure is only technically true. The one thing for certain is that it was the second film to win the Oscar for best picture and the first sound film to do so.
If you’ve ever had the chance to read up on the history of the introduction of sound to the film industry (or, perhaps, have had the pleasure of seeing Singin’ In the Rain), you know that there were numerous problems that came with this new technology. The Broadway Melody is no exception to the rule.
The film centers around two sisters — the oddly named duo of Hank and Queenie — who come to New York City to make it big on Broadway. They’re fresh off the road, traveling around the country for the last several years with their act. Hank has convinced Queenie that coming to New York will be good for the both of them. Hank’s tired of the road and her “friend” Eddie has guaranteed a part in the show he’s working on.
The girls soon go meet Eddie, who has written a song that a Mr. Zanfield (a thinly-veiled reference to Flo Zeigfeld) has agreed to be part of his big show that plays on Broadway. Eddie is pleased as punch to have Hank in town because this means he can finally marry the reluctant Hank.
But… what’s this? Could it be…
Queenie? All growed up? Little Queenie, who he used to tease when she was in pigtails? Gee, she’s all growed up and a lady now!
And thus, the movie starts on its cliché-ridden ride.
Long story short, it turns out that Mr. Zanfield doesn’t like Hank, but takes a liking to Queenie. He thinks she’s especially talented. She shows off this talent by standing on a high platform with her arm stretched out for an entire song. An entire song! That’s like three minutes!
Another person who takes a liking to Queenie is the evil, slimy and filthy rich Jock Warriner (a thinly-veiled reference to Jack Warner). Jock decides that he wants Queenie all to himself. This is much to the chagrin of Eddie, who, you see, has decided that he loves Queenie. But, Queenie gets tempted by the glamour of fame and fortune, despite the fact that she has only been in one performance on Broadway.
Most of the rest of the movie involves Jock trying to woo Queenie while Eddie and Hank try to convince her he’s bad for her. Queenie just basically wants to be left alone and free to do what she wants. She’s gonna be a big star and no one can stand in her way!
Ultimately, Hank realizes that Eddie doesn’t love her anymore. She lies to him, tells him she never loved him and tells him that he’s “yella” (really) for not going after Queenie. Eddie confronts Jock in his penthouse apartment and confesses his true love (for the third or fourth time) to Queenie. Which comes to no surprise since Eddie also spends a good chunk of the film trying to stick his tongue down her throat. She confesses that she loves him, too. The final scene of the movie takes place after Eddie and Queenie come back from their honeymoon.
Happy ending. Hooray!
The one thing I can’t figure out is why the girls go ape over Eddie. He’s really a giant jerk who cruelly teases them throughout the movie. He’s not a likable character at all. Although, I guess he does have money now that he’s sold this one song to Mr. Zanfield. He even has gold garters to hold up his socks!
Hot dog! This guy’s a keeper!
While this movie has its fans, it’s definitely difficult to understand why it won Best Picture for the 1929/30 Academy Awards. By today’s standards, the movie is extremely heavy-handed and melodramatic. The pacing is awkward. There’s eternal pauses between each joke, as if to wait for the audience to stop guffawing. Most likely this is a technique left over from the stage.
The humor doesn’t really translate to a 2011 audience. One thing is for certain, today’s audiences still think that homosexual characters, drunks and stutterers are the high point of comedy excellence. The Broadway Melody definitely has those in spades with the presence of the wardrobe manager who raves about the fabrics; some drunk rich guy who hiccups a lot; and the sisters’ stuttering Uncle Jed who is a source of endless
confusion laughter because he talks like Porky Pig.
The technical quirks of the movie are also quite bothersome. The sound drops out when there is no dialogue, most likely due to the director incorrectly believing that a microphone was not needed for those moments. Thus, the noticeable absence of sound altogether at times. Also, the songs themselves are improperly mixed, causing the musicians to almost drown out the vocalists.
It also seems that they had yet to master the numerous filmmaking techniques that we take for granted these days. Most of the dialogue was shot using medium shots. The dance numbers were shot using full, stationary shots. The concept of the pan and tilt seems to be years away. Although, I feel that Wings had a lot more movement with the camera and took more chances with the various shooting techniques.
This is what happens when a new leap in technology obsesses the filmmaking industry: the loss of story telling. It still happens these days. For every successful 3D movie such as Up or Avatar, which uses actual story telling along with the technology, there’s heaps that just throw out story telling altogether. I’m looking at you, Drive Angry.
By the end of this movie my girlfriend had fallen asleep and I was barely keeping my eyes open.
They all can’t be winners.
Well, this one did win the Oscar for best picture. But, that’s beside the point.

Underground drag performer, master (or "mistress" if you prefer) of ceremonies, film maker and actor, "Peaches Christ", born Joshua Grannell, currently hails from San Francisco, California, where her Backlash Production Company and popular Midnight Mass movie series are based.
Midnight Mass, the San Francisco midnight movie event that began in the summer of 1998 with elaborate pre-show stage productions, drag spectacles and famous guest stars including Mink Stole, Tura Satana, Mary Woronov, RuPaul, Erica Gavin, Patrick Bristow, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira Mistress, of the Dark), and John Waters, continue to draw sell-out crowds to this day. Touring the world over, her Midnight Mass road-show and Short Film Retrospective have been seen in such places as Seattle, Berkeley, New York City, Brussels, Belgium, and Switzerland.
In 2005, "Peaches" released a CD single entitled Idol Worship, and in September of 2007, the San Francisco de Young Museum hosted the Decade of Peaches Christ Retrospective. Entitled "Cattychism", it featured artistic contributions inspired by "Peaches Christ", including ten years of costume design by long-time collaborator Tria Connell and ten years of graphic design by artist Chris Hatfield.
In 2008, the HDnet Movie Channel and executive producer Mark Cuban aired the 10th Annual Season of her Midnight Mass stage-show. The six-part series is titled Midnight Mass with your Hostess Peaches Christ. Hi-Def 30 minute episodes centered around "Peaches" and Midnight Mass preceding uninterrupted screenings of her favorite films. Other television productions that "Peaches" has appeared on include VH1’s Totally Gay!, AMC’s Movies That Shook the World: Pink Flamingos, and IFC’s Cult Movie pilot, and was prominently featured as a protesting drag queen in Gus Van Sant's 2008 feature film Milk, starring Sean Penn.
"Peaches" appeared in numerous other films as well, including Spin the Bottle, a "drag-umentary" chronicling life behind the scenes at Midnight Mass and is a send-up of Madonna: Truth or Dare. Spin the Bottle was written by her alter-ego Joshua Grannell and directed by San Francisco filmmaker Scott Boswell. "Peaches Christ" also a co-produces, along with artist and musician Visantos, the San Francisco Underground Short Film Festival, which was originally designed to showcase talented but overlooked Bay Area filmmakers.
Written and directed by her alter-ego Joshua Grannell, "Peaches Christ" stars in a number of short films fondly referred to as the Tran-ilogy of Terror. These three films, reverently tipping their hats to horror classics, include Season of the Troll, A Nightmare On Castro Street, and Whatever Happened to Peaches Christ?. Her fourth short film, Grindhouse, currently being developed into a feature-length film, is a gore comedy to be shot in the Bay Area in 2009 entitled All About Evil.
Performing at film festivals, in movie theatres, and on University campuses "Peaches Christ" often tours with her short film collection and presents it as part of An Evening With Peaches Christ, a multi-media show including live singing, and the screening of her short films, with "Peaches" telling stories, sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes throughout the program, and closing with an audience Q&A. Often substituting for hostess and fellow drag performer "Heklinka", "Peaches Christ" continues to appear at the Trannyshack where she got her start in 1996.

While previous events at the Hollywood have featured live organ accompaniment, the organ sound itself was digital, powered by large speakers backstage. Now, the sound will once again come from the theater's pipes. The Columbia River Theatre Organ Society has spent thousands of volunteer hours meticulously refurbishing the theater organ, tracking down vintage organ parts and pipes, restoring the original Hollywood organ chamber, and installing electrical lines, wind lines, and a mammoth 15hp organ blower in the basement.

The Film Minor offers students an interdisciplinary program suitable for both business and liberal arts and sciences students who have an interest in developing an understanding of film as a medium as well as its relationship to social movements, national cultures, and related artistic forms. Students minoring in film acquire skills for analyzing mainstream film texts as well as those arising from alternative models of production and distribution. The program surveys the evolution of international film from its origins at the end of the nineteenth century to its current status as a vital and economically powerful contemporary art form. In order to complete a minor in Film Studies, students must take three courses, one of which must be
(History of Film I),
(History of Film II), or
(The Art of Film); one 3000 or 4000-level course from the list of approved electives; and
(Critical Approaches to Film). Please note, FLM/AAS/CMP 4907 may be used as an elective within the minor, not as the capstone course.
Critical Approaches to Film


Poplar Union welcomes SHEWOLVES, a new play about teenage activism, climate change, and female empowerment.
Ever thought you should run the world, even though you’re “only fourteen and a girl”?
SHEWOLVES, a brand new play all about teenage climate activism arrives at Poplar Union this May. It tells the story of Priya and Lou, two girls who head into the wilderness on a mission to tackle climate change.
Starring Gurjot Dhaliwal as Priya and Harriet Waters as Lou, SHEWOLVES explores the power of hope, the complexities of friendship, and the smartness of teens, as the two friends set out to make their voices heard.
Aimed at audiences of 12 and above, the play arrives in Poplar as part of a tour of UK theatres before a run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer.
‘I hope it leaves audiences laughing, punching the air and feeling empowered to speak up’ said playwright Sarah Middleton. ‘This is a play for anyone who’s ever gatecrashed a sleepover or forgotten to pack the loo roll. It’s about sisterhood, protest and Pop-Tarts.’
Emma Dunstan, director of programming at Poplar Union, was thrilled to welcome the production. “The play is an incredible piece of new writing, exploring activism through the eyes of two young women. It’s a powerful piece about female empowerment, the complexities of friendship and how to get your voice heard about things you care about.”
The play was created by WE ARE SHEWOLVES, a creative project supported by the Arts Council England that aims to amplify the voices of young women. Through poetry, theatre and zine workshops, they help young women use their creativity to speak out about issues that matter to them.
SHEWOLVES runs at Poplar Union on Sunday 1st May, with tickets on sale now.

If a fraction of the local 40,000 residents donated two pounds a month to Poplar LDN it would be enough for our editorial team to serve the area full time and be beholden only to the community. A pound at a time, we believe we can get there.

Banky W and Adesua Etomi step out to an event as a couple for the first time Source: Instagram
Just few weeks ago, singer, Banky W and his gorgeous actress wife, Adesua Etomi had the entire internet glued to their devices just to catch a glimpse of their fairy tale wedding and how good they both looked together as they tied the knot in Cape town.
After spending time in the fancy city and taking vows to be together forever, the couple were seen officially as husband and wife at the exclusive premier of the Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai event in Lagos. They both looked super delectable in their suits and as Adesua glowed in gold, Banky looked dapper in a fancy blazer.
They also posed with some characters from the movie which they both star in as a married couple. Talk about making a movie your reality.
Don’t they just look adorable?


Music by Byron Au Yong
Libretto by Aaron Jafferis
Stuck Elevator tells the story of Guang, a Chinese food deliveryman struggling for freedom from debt, human smugglers, loud-mouthed coworkers, and the temptations of General Tso. Based on the true story of an undocumented immigrant who survived 81 hours in a Bronx elevator, this comic-rap-scrap-metal-music-theatre work follows Guang’s increasingly fantastic attempts to escape a 4′ by 6′ by 8′ metal box.
“High point of the theatrical year...
Creative riches explode from one small,
claustrophobic space in the extraordinary musical
that opened Tuesday at American Conservatory Theater... An epic's worth of inspired music and inspirational content, performances and design... A vibrant opera-musical theater hybrid with a story both personally compelling and eye-opening... The musical and dramatic impact of "Elevator" is immediate. The potency of its metaphor is guaranteed to linger."
– San Francisco Chronicle
“A fascinating and compelling work that proves strong ideas can’t be contained in simple boxes... claustrophobic and expansive, intimate and existential, personal and political all at once.” – Variety
“Audacious, compelling and hugely imaginative.” – Huffington Post
“Together Au Yong and Jafferis create one of the more ambitious, listenable modern scores in contemporary musical theater.” – Examiner.com
5 actors, 4 musicians
Stuck Elevator is scored for five voices, violin, cello, percussion, and piano. These live performance recordings are for demo purposes only.
