If you love going to the movies and near San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, then you are considered lucky because Starmall SJDM offers one of the most affordable Dolby Atmos cinema experiences in the entire Philippines.
Dolby Atmos is new and innovative audio format in movie soundtracks. The sound clarity is amazing and it outdoes the traditional 5.1 and 7.1-channel surround setups. Dolby Atmos adds another dimension to your movie experience by adding overhead speakers that blast sound and audio from above.
From time to time, I visit my mom living in Sapang Palay, Bulacan. For those who aren’t aware, Starmall SJDM is located along the highway of Palmera which is a town in SJDM, 15 minutes drive from where my mom lives. And whenever there’s a movie I’m really eager to see on a big screen and I’m at my mom’s house, I go to this mall without hesitation.
To be honest, I never expected that Starmall would adopt the Dolby Atmos technology into their cinemas let alone put it in a remote area such as San Jose Del Monte City in Bulacan which is outside Metro Manila. So kudos to Starmall for this courageous initiative in giving San Joseños affordable access to state-of-the-art movie experience.
There are only four cinemas in Starmall SJDM but only cinema 4 has Dolby Atmos. Cinema 4 is very average in size with more or less 90 seating capacity. And the theatre follows the design of stadium seating wherein the floor slopes in a certain degree giving you unobstructed view of the screen.
Similar to other cinemas that have Dolby Atmos setup like the one in Gateway Cineplex in Cubao or Bonifacio High Street in BGC, Taguig, the sound quality in Starmall SJDM cinema 4 is superb and exactly what you would expect from any Dolby Atmos theatre. But what makes Starmall SJDM cinemas special is the price of the movie ticket which costs around P250 only and sometimes less. And I can assure you that you won’t find a Dolby Atmos cinema in NCR that can match this low ticket price.
I’ve seen a lot of movies inside the Dolby Atmos cinema of Starmall SJDM like Batman V Superman, Wonder Woman, Kingsman and more and I still plan to see more. With the unbeatable ticket price and awesome Dolby Atmos setup, I will never hesitate choosing this cinema to satisfy my cravings for better movie experience.

What the movies taught us about playing poker
Poker is packed with drama, so it’s no surprise the popular casino game is the underscore of many successful films.
If you’re a poker pro or more of a movie buff, you can learn something by watching these poker films – both what and what not to do after the deal before playing in online poker tournaments:
This movie serves as a cautionary tale in more ways than one, with Matt Damon and Ed Norton in a mad dash to make some cash in illegal high-stakes games. Perhaps the biggest lesson, one learned the hard way by the duo, is when Norton’s character “Worm” is caught dealing from the bottom of the deck. Not only is he caught red handed but he’s playing in a game with a bunch of New York state troopers. Needless to say, it doesn’t go over well for the cheaters, who lose some teeth and their entire bankroll.
Lesson: Don’t cheat. Ever. Especially against a bunch of dirty cops.
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
It seems 1998 was a popular year for poker films, catching the Texas Hold’em craze. In this British heist flick from director Guy Ritchie, poker serves as the catalyst for the rest of the film with a group of friends bankrolling their poker-playing buddy, who falls victim to a fixed high-stakes game held by the infamous "Hatchet" Harry. Mayhem and hilarity ensue as they try to pay off their debt to the intimidating gangster, but they could have avoided this mess had they played in a regulated and legal casino.
Lesson: Be cautious where you play. Do your research before going all in.
This Western was headlined by Mel Gibson, before he went off the deep end, and starred James Garner and Jodie Foster. Gibson and Garner went toe-to-toe for Foster’s affections, all the while getting conned by her flirtatious character Annabelle Bransford. She plays her way to the final table of a high-takes five-card draw tournament, hosted by the scene-stealing James Coburn, and holds her own against the top players before bowing out. In a movie packed with guff gunslingers and fast talkers, Foster’s Annabelle plays the damsel in distress but is really the snake in the grass.
Lesson: Don’t underestimate your competition
Casino Royal (2006)
The James Bond reboot, starring Daniel Craig as a grittier and damaged 007, takes place at a mega high-stakes Hold’Em tournament in Montenegro, where Bond is tracking terrorist financier Le Chiffre, who has a particular tell: he cries blood. Bond actually has to buy back into the tournament after getting schooled by Le Chiffre with four Jacks over his full house but eventually figures out his opposition, scoring a $150 million pot with a 4-5-6-7-8 spades straight flush over Le Chiffre’s full house. Bond didn’t even need to invoke his license to kill, thwarting a terrorist plot and saving the world with a single poker hand.
Lesson: Study your opponents betting habits/tells.


Film Review: The Way
The Way follows Tom (Martin Sheen), an ophthalmologist from California, who goes to France to collect the body of his adult son, Daniel (Emilio Estevez). Daniel had decided to give up the life he built, mid-stream in his pursuit of a PhD, and see the world. He says to his father, "You don't choose a life, Dad. You live one."
Daniel heads to France to walk the Camino de Santiago, also known as "The Way of St. James," an approximate 769 kilometer trek. As it turns out, Daniel dies in an accident his first day while in the Pyrenees mountains. Daniel is seen in flashbacks and in the imagination of Tom, as the film unfolds into a bond that is seemingly formed after Daniel's death.
Tom walks the Camino de Santiago for his son, spreading his ashes during the journey. Along the pilgrimage, Tom meets a Dutchman, Joost (Yorick van Wageningen) who is walking to loose weight, Canadian, Sarah (Deborah Kara Unger), who healing from an abusive relationship, and Jack (James Nesbitt), an Irish writer who has lost inspiration. This unlikely group form a bond through healing of their own internal issues, while supporting Tom during his loss. At the beginning of the film, the French police chief who notified Tom of his son's death, tells Tom that when one walks the Camino, they walk for themselves. What Tom learns is that while walking The Way, you digest your sorrows, memories and challenges, always with the support of others.
The Way portrays the remarkable dynamic of interpersonal relationships, and the relationship we have with ourselves. Tom, who is a seemingly private person, gradually opens up to his companions while coming to an understanding of why his son broke from the traditional American dream. Sharing the same DNA, it is not surprising that we see Tom not only adapt, but thrive in his travels. He learns what it means to live life, rather than following the expectations of others.


Film and Video Umbrella, London.
Harris Museum & Arts Gallery, Preston: Lucy Beech ‘Me and Mine’, 2 May – 5 July 2015.
FVU’s new commission ‘Me and Mine’ by Lucy Beech is a 40 minute film examining how the so-called feminine ‘virtues’ of empathy and relationality have gained increasing currency within previously patriarchal industries. Set between a traditional undertaker’s and an annual award ceremony, defined by one of its visitors as the ‘nucleus of the funeral industry’s female revolution’, the film follows a female undertaker as she negotiates her way through the shifting landscape of the funeral business, as well as her experience as a woman among women.
Ostensibly a study of the cultural and economic forces that surround the business of death, ‘Me and Mine’ is concerned with ideas of transition: between social groups, private and public worlds, tradition and innovation, the individual and the group.
The exhibition will travel to the Tetley, Leeds from 17 July – 27 September 2015.
Commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella (FVU), with the support of Harris Museum & Art Gallery, The Tetley, The Fenton Trust, The Elephant Trust and University of East London, School of Arts and Digital Industries. With thanks to Open School East. FVU is supported by Arts Council England.


Osamu Tezuka is often hailed as the godfather of manga for his legendary creations during the 1940s and 50s. Even if his name doesn't ring a bell, some of his famous works might. Phoenix, Black Jack, Kimba the White Lion, and most importantly, Astro Boy. Though they might be decades old, his manga still holds up today and loved by many.
There seems to be a trend in anime recently with adapting older yet well-regarded manga but adding a modern twist. Devilman Crybaby transposed the the gruesome action of the original to a sleeker modern-day setting, while Megalobox focuses on a cyberpunk-esque boxing tournament in a dystopian future, as opposed to the 60s setting of the manga it's based on, Ashita no Joe. Tezuka's Dororo is the most recent anime to be an updated version of a classic.
Like Devilman and Joe, this isn't Dororo's first foray onto the screen. The first anime based on it was from 1969, a year after the manga came to an end, and there was a live action movie from Japan in 2007. What makes studio MAPPA's new version different from the others? The main thing is that it's much more graphic and darker in tone than the original. The original might not have had the most cheerful plot but Tezuka's famous cutesy art style signified that it was ultimately for kids. None of that in 2019, though.
The story begins in the Sengoku period, where a feudal lord makes a pact with demons, (48 in the original, 12 in the new anime) exchanging his newborn son for power. The son is born but severely cursed, and is promplty cast aside. Years later he grows up and, with the help of prosthetic blades, begins a quest to slay the demons and save himself from the curse his father put upon him, while accompanied by the plucky thief boy Dororo.
The dynamic between protagonist Hyakkimaru and young Dororo seems to have influenced a lot of manga that came after it when it comes to the trope of a wandering swordsman accompanied by and/or caring for a child, namely Lone Wolf and Cub, Blade of the Immortal and Berserk. If you're looking for an updated classic that still holds up today or just wanna see some cool demon-slaying action this anime season, you can do a lot worse than Dororo. Catch the first episode on Amazon Prime Video if you're interested.

The English "tongue-twisters," e. g. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; She sells sea-shells by the seashore; Bill had a billboard and also a board bill, but the board bill bored Bill so that he sold the billboard to pay the board bill
, belong to the more usual type of such phrases.
~from ARCHER TAYLOR, THE CONTENT OF PROVERBShttp://www.utas.edu.au/docs/flonta/DP,2,2,96/CONTENT.html
John Peck is interested in a house on Pepper Street listed with Pickle Real Estate. He calls his friend Peter Piper, a salesperson with Old Salt Realty, to show him the house. What would be required of Peter Piper if Pickle’s Pepper is picked by Peck?
a. Peter Piper must get a written agency disclosure signed before showing the house.
b. Peter Piper must get a written agency disclosure signed before writing the offer.
c. Peter Piper could be a presumed buyer’s agent with a verbal disclosure, since he is writing an offer on a house listed with another company.
d. Because they are old drinking buddies, no disclosure would be required if Peck is Pickled when he picks Pepper.
In the tongue twister "Peter Piper's Pickled Peppers" we found the key conflict to link these characters. What if a thief stole Peter's peppers? What if the play developed as a mystery with characters providing Peter with clues to help him find his missing peppers? An introductory scene could set the conflict and a concluding scene could bring everything together to reveal the thief's identity.
In [the] play this central problem was set up in the first scene as Peter enters crying with an empty basket and his friend, Owl, tries to discover what is wrong.
Owl: Peter! What's wrong? (Owl gives a hanky to Peter, who blows his nose loudly) Let me guess. Is it because.you're sick?
Owl: Is it because you're hungry?
Peter: (Crying) No!
Owl: Whatever could it be then? (To children) Do you have any ideas? (accepts idea from audience and asks) Is it because you're (fill in idea)?
Owl: (To children) It's not that either! (Peter shows Owl empty basket) (Gasps) Oh! I think I know. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers; A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked; If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? Is that right?
Peter: (nods) My peppers are gone. They've disappeared.
Owl: Someone's taken them? (Peter nods sadly) Who?

The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts 's annual Adirondack Lakes Summer Theatre Festival kicked off this summer with Lee Blessings' A Walk in the Woods and now continues with the annual free Shakespeare in the Park. Jayson Grigsby as Sir John Falstaff in the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts' The Merry Wives of Windsor With a mixture of professional and regional actors, this year's Shakespearean pick The Merry Wives of Windsor is a hilarious romp for all ages. Set outside, the actors utilize their surrounding and a simple stage setting to create the atmosphere of various areas of Windsor, England. Director Anne Vaccaro adapted Shakespeare's play to be under an hour with no intermission. Vaccaro makes this version of The Merry Wives of Windsor a fast-paced, fun version that has the audience laughing in their seats. The language is simplified from what I remember of this play, but she kept true to the form. The ensemble cast were fast on their feet

"It was a pleasure working with John on our feature film. He was very flexible and willing to help us discover the sound for the music that we wanted. He was instrumental in bringing out the character and emotions of the story."
"John Kasiewicz' cool, ambitious original score to A Long Road was brilliantly conceptualized and a perfect match to the tone and style of the film. His ability to work steadily and fast without compromising his artful, personal touches to his score is a fantastic accomplishment."
It is true that sound and music make up 50% of the finished film, and John's evocative score is a big part of the success of our film. Ever the artist, John is able to grasp the emotional core of a scene and translate it into an accompanying score that amplifies the effect. I had a great time banging heads creatively with John and I think the results speak for themselves in the score for "Reach For The Sky".
"The team behind Driver’s Ed Mutiny did a great job with the audio throughout! The music for the film was great. John Kasiewicz did a nice job on creating a score that really fit the film..." Audio Score: 9.5/10

I had hoped to get to read the book before the movie, but went to see the movie on a whim. Not having read it, I don't know if you will be frustrated by the book=>movie transformation.
I have been thinking about the movie more. I liked it, primarily because the acting was very good, so I cared about the characters. But there is something unsettling about the gestalt of the film, the big picture, how the essential conflicts are resolved. I guess I shouldn't get so hung up on this because the conflicts were within and among the patients, and the staff and hospital play a very minor role. They are just a backdrop, in fact.
What is bugging me is this impression that the main character gets better because she "gets with the program", rather than fighting it. But we never really find out what led her to have the problems she has. We see her struggling to define herself through her relationships with those around her--in the hospital. But we never really see or hear why she is such a mixed up, depressed kid. And, although they hint at family tendencies (I think the line is, "Borderlines are five times more likely to have an immediate family member, usually a parent, who is borderline"), biology is not on the table at all. So the idea is that this mixed up kid developed her problems environmentally and will recover through psychoanalysis. Ok, assuming for the sake of the film we accept this, we don't really learn more about her problems. We don't even get to eavesdrop on the analysis sessions even though we see them (we dont hear what she says).
In the end, it really seems more like a movie about adolescence and coming of age than about mental illness. And maybe it is a true portrait of how young people make the decisions they make.
Here's the thing: Despite how well portrayed the action among the patients is, it is the message hovering in the background that bothers me: In this movie the message is that the powerless need to accept what the powerful have to offer. Fighting it means death, either sudden or drawn out. This is classic conservative hollywoodism, although subdued, thankfully, by being in the background, while the really intersting stuff is in the foreground. I should say here that I would not want a classic Disneyesque, puss-in-boots type story, either, where the powerless triumph ever so tritely over the powerful.

Laertes, Claudius, and Fortinbras as Foils of Hamlet
In Shakespeare's play, Hamlet, the young Prince Hamlet must deal with murder, corruption and incest. The foils to Prince Hamlet, give the reader a basis to summarize his character within the play. Such foils include Laertes, son of Polonius, Claudius, current king of Denmark and stepfather of Hamlet, and Fortinbras, the prince of Norway.
The first foil or character that sets off Hamlet, in the play is Laertes. After King Hamlet's death, he, along with Prince Hamlet, return to Denmark for the funeral services. That is the first sign that Laertes will become a foil to Hamlet in the play. Both Laertes and Hamlet are very fond of Laertes' sister, Ophelia, which is the second similarity of the two. Another similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is the father figure of each, Polonius to Laertes and Claudius to Hamlet, has someone to watch them to see if they are acting accordingly. [accordingly?] In act two, scene one, Polonius instructs Reynaldo to go to Paris to give Laertes money and messages, and to find other Danes that will give him gossip about Laertes. In act two, scene two, Claudius instructs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find out why Hamlet is acting so strangely. The next similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is that they both grieve over a death in the play. Laertes grieves the death of Ophelia, while Hamlet grieves over his father, King Hamlet's death. The final similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is that both seek revenge for the death of their fathers. Laertes wishes to kill Hamlet after Hamlet murders Polonius and Hamlet wants to kill Claudius for the murder of King Hamlet. Both succeed in their quest for revenge.
A major difference between Laertes and Hamlet is that Laertes didn't procrastinate in his attempt at revenge. He went right to it with the encouragement of Claudius. His hastiness is what gets him killed in the end. Because Laertes doesn't think long about getting his revenge gives the reader reason to compare Laertes to and think about Hamlets' struggle to decide weather [H-50] revenge is the right thing to do. [SS -1] He contemplates through the whole play on weather [H-50] to kill Claudius or not, leaving the reader with the sense that Hamlet is very careful when making decisions. [Doesn't this point deserve more discussion?

|Hamlet, by William Shakespeare Essay - Frequently, tragic heroes and other characters are thought of as being analogues due to their mutual goal and parallels. However, one must question the negligible differences in the characters’ traits that differentiate them as a whole.

Foils Of Hamlet Laertes Fortinbras Claudius Prince Hamlet Father Figure Similarity Polonius
Perhaps Hamlet is too indecisive?]
The next foil of Hamlet in the play is the King Claudius. The first similarity of Claudius and Hamlet is that they each ask why someone grieves a death so much. In Act one, scene two, Claudius asks Hamlet why he still grieves his father's death. In act five, scene one, Hamlet demands Laertes to tell him why he is emphasizing his grievance of the death of Ophelia. The second and final similarity of Claudius and Hamlet is the fact that both men kill a king in the play. Claudius kills King Hamlet and Hamlet kills Claudius, who is the current king of Denmark.
The differences between Claudius and Hamlet provide the reader with a basis of comparison and provide insight into the essence of the character of Hamlet. The first difference is that Claudius asks about Hamlet's grieving because he is afraid Hamlet will take revenge on him. Hamlet asks the question to Laertes because he is angry about Laertes' emphasis about his grievance. The second difference is that Claudius murdered King Hamlet so he could take over the throne of Denmark, while Hamlet kills Claudius to uphold the honor of his family and the ghost's request of revenge. These differences show the reader that Hamlet is more interested with the honor of his father than the throne he held and is very straightforward when angry.
The final foil to Hamlet is Prince Fortinbras of Norway. The reason he is included, as a foil of Hamlet, is he also seeks revenge for the death of his father, the king. Fortinbras goes about his revenge is a different way than Laertes and Hamlet though. Fortinbras goes to war over a useless piece of territory simply to uphold the honor of his father. The honor of his family is as important to him as it is to Hamlet. The single difference about the revenge of both is that Fortinbras doesn't procrastinate like Hamlet did. Again, this shows the reader Hamlet's careful approach to decision making. [The inclusion of Fortinbras is very good, but could you have explained more of the implications -- Fortinbras doesn't procrastinate, and Fortinbras lives; Hamlet procrastinates, and Hamlet not only dies, but causes the deaths of many others]
The foils of Hamlet are very important to understanding the character of Hamlet in the play. Shakespeare used Laertes, Claudius, and Fortinbras to reveal plots of the play and to expose the true nature of the character of Hamlet.
Fortinbras as Foil for Shakespeare's Hamlet Essay
1033 Words5 Pages
Fortinbras as Foil for Hamlet
In the play, Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the character of Fortinbras, has been used as a foil for the main character, Hamlet. Hamlet and Fortinbras have lost their fathers to untimely deaths. Claudius killed Hamlet's father, King Hamlet, and King Hamlet killed Fortinbras' father. Both Hamlet and Fortinbras have vowed to seek revenge for the deaths of their fathers. Since the revenge tactics of Hamlet and Fortinbras are completely different, Hamlet perceives the actions of Fortinbras as better than his own and the actions of Fortinbras, then, encourage Hamlet to act without hesitating.
Hamlet, after learning that his father's death was a murder and vowing to take revenge, wants to be…show more content…
The soliloquy begins with Hamlet's thoughts on how time is running by and he still hasn't done anything. He says:
How all occasions do inform against me,
And spur my dull revenge! What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more."
(Hamlet IV.iv. 32-35)
In these lines Hamlet is thinking about all the time he has wasted by procrastinating. He sees how everything around him is taking shape, all except his own actions. He goes on to say "Sure, he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not that capability and god-like reason to fust in us unus'd "(IV.iv.38-41) Here Hamlet is saying that every man has reason, and that reason should be put to good use. He also expresses the thought that he has "cause and will and strength and means to do't" (IV.iv.47-48) but still waits and thinks of taking action instead of taking action.
Next Hamlet goes on to describe Fortinbras. He asks the audience to:
Witness this army of such mass and charge
Led by a delicate and tender prince,
Whose spirit with divine ambition puf'd
Makes mouths at the invisible event,
Exposing what is mortal and unsure
To all that fortune,


Into the Soil: An interview with Mattias Olssen about biodynamics and film making.
I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to Swedish film maker and podcaster Mattias Olssen about his documentary film ‘Into the Soil’ for the Spring issue of Harvests. He is the creator of the multimedia project called Campfire Stories, where he interviews people in his community pursuing sustainable and sometimes alternative lifestyles. In this film he documents the philosophical approach of the biodynamic farmer Brigid LeFevre, who grew up in a Camphill community and now runs a small biodynamic farm where she grows supplies to make some of the best Kimchi in Europe.

The different types of drama school
There are different types of drama schools, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. It is important to choose the right type of school for your needs, depending on your goals and aspirations.
The three main types of drama schools are conservatories, universities, and community theaters.
Conservatories are the most prestigious type of drama school. They offer a rigorous training program that focuses on developing the skills necessary to be a successful actor. However, they also tend to be very expensive.
Universities offer a more traditional academic education, with less focus on acting specifically. However, many universities have strong theater programs that can provide you with a good foundation in acting. They also tend to be less expensive than conservatories.
Community theaters are the least expensive type of drama school, but they offer the least amount of training. Many community theaters offer classes and workshops that can teach you the basics of acting, but they will not give you the same level of training as a conservatory or university.
Traditional drama school
There are some incredible acting schools in London, from the Drama Centre to RADA, that have nurtured the talents of some of the world’s biggest stars. But if you’re looking for a more traditional drama school experience, then look no further than the following top five choices.
The Central School of Speech and Drama was founded in 1906 and is part of the University of London. It’s one of the oldest and most prestigious drama schools in the UK and has an impressive alumni list that includes Dame Judi Dench, Jeremy Irons, and John Hurt.
The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) is another world-renowned institution, founded in 1861. It’s located in West London and counts Olivia Colman, David Suchet, and Helen Mirren among its former students.
If you’re looking for a more contemporary approach to training, then Audrey Morrissey’s Actor’s Temple could be the perfect choice. This Meisner Technique-based school has been going since 2004 and has helped actors such as Daniel Mays and Samantha Morton hone their craft.
If you want to focus on on-screen acting, then East 15 Acting School could be the place for you. It offers degree courses in Acting for Screen as well as Theatre Arts, and its alumni include Benedict Cumberbatch and Jamie Bamber.

Studio school is a new type of state secondary school in England for 14- to 19-year-olds. The first studio schools opened in September 2010.
Studio schools are smaller than average-sized secondary schools. Each school has between 150 and 450 students.
The focus of studio schools is on work-related learning. Students learn through work experience, projects, and mentoring as well as traditional academic subjects.
studio schools offer a more personalized education with good quality teaching and smaller class sizes. This allows students to get the individual attention they need to succeed.
studio schools are designed to meet the needs of businesses and the local economy by preparing young people for work. Students have the opportunity to learn about different careers, gain work experience, and develop the skills that employers are looking for.

Like any other type of post-secondary education, going to drama school is a major investment. It is important to do your research and make sure that you are choosing the right institution for your needs. The following is a list of some of the major considerations that you should keep in mind when choosing a drama school:
- The cost of Tuition: As mentioned above, the cost of tuition can range significantly from one institution to the next. It is important to get an estimate of what your total costs will be before making any decisions.
- The length of the program: Most full-time drama programs in the UK last three years. Some institutions offer two-year programs, which can be beneficial if you are trying to save money on tuition or living expenses.
- The location: The location of a drama school can have a significant impact on your experience. If you want to be based in London, for example, you will have many more choices than if you are looking for a school in another city. Keep in mind that living in a major city can be expensive, so this should be taken into consideration when making your decision.
- The curriculum: Each drama school has its own unique curriculum. Make sure to look at the courses offered by each institution to see if they align with your interests and career goals.
Choosing the right drama school is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. There are many factors to consider, but if you do your research and make an informed choice, you will set yourself up for success in your future career as an actor.
The cost of tuition varies from school to school, but the average cost for a year of tuition at an acting school in London is approximately £9,000.

Cost: $35 per person

I used to love watching horror movies in my early to late teens. I would even go so far as to say it was my favorite genre to watch! But in recent years, I’ve cut out Horror movies completely, and now even if I see a trailer to one coming out, I cringe and need to turn it off. My fiance doesn’t like them either, so it makes things much easier when it comes to choosing movies to watch together! We are all about keeping our movie choices family-friendly.
So if you are looking for movies to watch with your kiddos or if you and your SO are like us and are looking for some clean, fun movies to watch this Fall season, then keep reading!
1. Halloweentown 1 & 2
This may be one of the most popular Halloween movies of all time. 90’s kids couldn’t wait for the Fall season to hit so that they’d start playing movies like this again on TV! I remember in elementary school, checking the TV guide all month and writing down in our calendar which days Halloweentown was playing so that I could stay up to watch it!
Such a fun one with a great story, engaging characters, and a deep message about fighting against segregation and intolerance. It’s slightly creepy with a ton of comedy and adventure. If you haven’t seen this one yet, I can pretty much guarantee this will be a new tradition for you every year!
2. The Scream Team
This was another one of my all time favorites around Halloween time. This one doesn’t seem to be as talked about, but it was definitely a classic Halloween DCOM! With plenty of comedy and adventure, this movie is perfect for family movie night.
2 siblings team up with friendly ghosts after they find out that their grandfather never crossed over to the other side because his spirit was stolen by a vengeful, evil ghost (Zachariah). Now they must defeat Zachariah and help their grandfather finally cross over after 200 years!
3. Phantom of the Megaplex
This is another one that is mainly for nostalgia value or to watch with your kiddies! I’m pretty sure if I watched it now as an adult, it wouldn’t be as enjoyable as it was back in the day. But your kids will love it!
The main character Pete Riley and his other coworkers are getting their megaplex theater prepared for a premiere gala that night. However, some creepy and mysterious things start happening. They start to wonder whether it is due to a haunting of the ghost of the person who was trapped in the theater when it was demolished, or if it could be someone much more familiar to them causing the chaos?
This one will keep your kiddos glued to the screen trying to figure out what will happen next!
4. Corpse Bride
Our main character, Victor Van Dort, is set to be married to Victoria Everglot. But when things don’t go too well at their wedding rehearsal, Victor goes out into the woods to practice his vows again, to ensure everything goes smoothly. However, as he gets everything down perfectly, he soon finds himself married to a corpse bride named Emily. He then needs to find a way to get out of this situation and back to Victoria.
This is honestly a movie I’ve watched pretty much every year, because it’s just that good! As with all Tim Burton movies, there is this somewhat dark tone to the movie, but still completely appropriate for any age! If I had to choose one Tim Burton movie to watch around Halloween, call me crazy, but I would pick Corpse Bride over The Nightmare Before Christmas any day.
5. The Haunted Mansion
I know Eddie Murphy is one of those actors you either love or hate. I absolutely loved him in this movie. Hilarious and engaging. Eddie stars as a real estate agent who takes his family to the creepy (like basically every old mansion) Gracey Manor, with the intent to help the owners sell their home. Little did they know what is really going on in the Manor.
With the help of a supernatural psychic, they must work to break the mansion’s curse before it is too late!
This is another one that has comedy and a story for both children and adults, making it enjoyable for everyone!
6. Ernest Scared Stupid
If you don’t know who Ernest is, you are missing out! I would say he was like another Jim Carey. With the many faces, voices, quirks, and outlandish behaviors, it’s no wonder they’re both great at bringing originality to any comedy. This movie is set during the Halloween season, and has some eerie scenes, but also a ton of comedic relief!
I used to watch this movie every single year without fail, and even without Halloween being nearby! It’s always good for nostalgia, especially since it stars Ernest and actually this movie is the reason that I fell in love with the Ernest series!
7. Don’t Look Under The Bed
This one is a must-see. Back when this movie first came out, there were parents that thought it was too frightening for their kids to watch. And for a DCOM, they didn’t feel it was appropriate. So, they stopped airing it on TV. I have to admit, there are some pretty scary scenes, I remember being totally freaked out as a kid when I watched this.
But, at the same time, the whole movie was done so well, and kids could relate to the “Boogeyman under the bed” idea, as well as having imaginary friends.
In “Don’t Look Under the Bed”, a teen gets help from an imaginary friend to deal with a boogeyman who has been pranking the whole town and trying to frame her for it. Back when it first came out in the 90’s, it was such a different concept for what would be considered a children’s movie.
If you’ve watched it before, you totally need to again as Halloween is drawing near! If you’re worried that your kids may be scarred after watching it, I’d say watch it yourself first and then decide!

An unmistakable title from the unforgettable film and television franchise, Fame The Musical inspired generations to fight for fame and light up the sky like a flame! The show follows the final class of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts. All of the struggles, fears and triumphs – from prejudice to substance abuse – are depicted with razor-sharp focus as the young artists navigate the worlds of music, drama and dance.
Fame is an international sensation that continues to reach new generations of performers and audience members. The show provides great opportunities to feature a diverse talent pool and showcase artistic mediums like dancing, singing, acting, rapping and musicianship.


How can you describe the importance of the music in a film? Its something that I have been thinking about today, and I wanted to tell you why.
Last night, I rewatched 1986'a Highlander with Christopher Lambert. For all the young people out there who may not have seen it (granted I was one when it came out) Its about Immortals who live amongst us in secret who are fighting each other to become the last one and receive "The Prize." If the winner of the prize is good, they will help lead mankind into a new era, but if the immortal is evil, the world will be plunge the world into darkness for all eternity. (Side Note, The immortals dont age and live forever, the only way they can die is by having their head cut off)
Well the music for Highlander was written and performed by Queen (the main theme song is called "Princes Of The Universe. Totally badass song, check it out) The music they wrote for the film is great, and helped move along the film.
If you look back at some of the greatest films ever made. They all just have really amazing music to complement the film. Movies like Jaws that can set the ominous tone of the entire movie, Indiana Jones series which just screams that the movie is going to be a great adventure, and Star Wars which can only be described as epic. Even my personal favorite, 1978's Superman, which gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it (It should be noted that John Williams is music God), you can litteraly hear the name Superman in the song.
Even the best movies that have come out in the past decade have had fantastice soundtracks that enhanced the movie. Movies like Inception, The Batman Series (Christopher Nolan Version), The Harry Potter series, Tron: Legacy, Lord Of the Rings Trilogy, Black Swan.
The music doesnt even have to be orchestral music. Some films do great with songs done by popular musicians. A perfect example of that is the scene in Reservoir Dogs when "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel (If you haven't seen this film, shame on you) or Rocky III when they play "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor (to be honest though, the orchestral in Rocky is just as important) just sets the tone and lets the audience know that there is no stopping Rocky.
On the flip side, putting the bad music in a movie can really take away from a film's viewing experience. I can think of a lot of movies (specifically from the 80's and 90's...I'm you Vanilla Ice) that are good and/or decent and their soundtrack does nothing to enhance the movie and even makes the movie worse. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Two (I know its a guilty pleasure, but ninja rap is just bad) is a good example of a movie with bad music in it, and the Joel Schumacher Batman films were actually made worse by the music in the films.
My point is that the music of a movie is an important part of the film that can be easily overlooked. Many movie goer's overlook just how important the soundtrack/score is to helping enrich a film. They can even make a movie, dare i say it, Legen... wait...wait... dary. Legendary (Thank you Barny Stinson)
and just so you know the song that started this whole entry. Enjoy
Here are a list of some of my favorite film scores/soundtracks
Batman/Batman Returns/Batman Begins/The Dark Knight
The X-Men Series
The Spider-Man Series
Gangs Of New York
Out Cold (the soundtrack was great and fit perfectly)
Dazed And Confused
The list goes on, There are alot of great soundtracks/scores out there

Merlin: A Servant of Two Masters
Morgana captures Merlin and bends his mind to her will.
While travelling in the woods, Merlin, Arthur and the knights are attacked by a group of bandits. Merlin gets injured and he and Arthur become separated from the other knights. Arthur tries to get the injured Merlin back to Camelot but Merlin uses magic to create a rock fall stopping most of the bandits and cutting Arthur off from him. Arthur sends out the knights to look for Merlin but they have no luck. When Morgana realizes she’s captured Merlin she decides to manipulate his mind so that he’ll be forced to kill Arthur. Arthur and Gwaine head out to search for Merlin themselves eventually finding him covered in mud and bringing him back to Camelot. Merlin starts exhibiting strange behaviour causing Gaius and Gwen to become suspicious of him after he poisons Arthur’s food. They remove the snake’s head causing Merlin to do Morgana’s bidding and believe the problem is solved until the head grows back. Gwen and Gaius incapacitate Merlin again and temporarily immobilize the snake. Merlin goes undercover as the older version of himself to Morgana’s hovel to destroy the multi headed snake creature eventually defeating her and regaining the ability to think for himself permanently.
With these last two episodes this season of “Merlin” has improved greatly. Last week’s episode showcased the more serious side of the series while this episode managed to incorporate the humour as well making it a significant improvement on the attempts at humour in “Aithusa” two weeks ago. In “A Servant of Two Masters” writer Lucy Watkins (who has yet to write a bad episode of “Merlin”) proves that you can give all the characters a strong role in a story and incorporate all of their respective relationships.
It’s been too long since we saw Merlin and Morgana face off directly and this episode showcased them very well. Katie McGrath’s acting has improved considerably (maybe because they aren’t forcing her to do that smirk every five minutes anymore) and watching her torture of Merlin gives the audience a great look at her rivalry with him. I can’t wait for the time when Morgana eventually finds out about Merlin’s magical abilities because I’m sure that will make their interactions even more interesting as they’ll be on more even footing. At this time she still believes herself to be superior to Merlin because of her powers despite the fact that he always seems to thwart her somehow.
I also enjoyed the scenes between Morgana and Emerys. Her dreams of him have clearly been haunting her as she darts back out of the hovel the minute she sees him inside going through her things. And even after she eventually enters Morgana is unwilling to believe that Emerys’ appearance is not a trick of her imagination.
Continuing from my comments on last week’s episode, the relationship between Merlin and Arthur is again well presented in this episode. It’s good to see Arthur’s worry over Merlin and his comments to Merlin at the beginning about being a hero are well done as well. It’s clear their friendship is growing and Arthur is beginning to realize the people in his life who he can really trust (ie. not Agravaine).
Arthur is often presented as not the smartest of the characters. He is entirely oblivious to Merlin’s attempts to kill him (to be fair Merlin is a terrible assassin) but he does show off his smarts in another area. Arthur’s mind is largely occupied with trying to find the traitor who gave away his and the knight’s route to the bandits. It’s interesting to hear who Arthur is less sure about as he debates with himself whether Percival or Elyan would have reason to betray him. In the end he comes to the right person though, eventually realizing that his uncle could easily be the one behind the leak. Agravaine is quick to turn the blame to Gaius instead (something which looks like it will be spilling over into next week’s episode) insisting that he has nothing to gain from helping Morgana.
This of course brings up the question; why is Agravaine helping Morgana then? It seems the show isn’t quite ready to tell us the answer to that yet. When Agravaine finds an injured Morgana it’s clear that he cares for her quite a bit as he’s practically in tears. With so many failures on Agravaine’s part, Morgana seems to be unsure whether he is really a use to her and it will be interesting to see how he responds to that if she decides she no longer needs him.
With Arthur oblivious to Merlin’s assassin tendencies it falls to Gwen and Gaius to solve the problem of the week. Most of the humour comes in through these two and their attempts to get at Merlin without making Arthur suspicious. It’s not often the writers give Gwen the opportunity to do comedy and Angel Coulby proves this week she can do it just as well as the boys can.
It looks as though next week’s episode will continue the search for the traitor and with the blame pointed at Gaius, things certainly won’t go well.


Quentin Tarantino was writing a book about Sergio Corbucci’s bleak portrayal of fascism in the Wild West in his ultraviolent Spaghetti Westerns when he came up with the idea to tell a story about American slavery through the lens of a Spaghetti Western. The result was Django Unchained, the tale of a freed slave who uses his newfound skills as a bounty hunter to save his wife.
Like many of Tarantino’s movies, it borrowed heavily from existing movies to tell a completely new story that daringly took an otherwise forgotten genre to unexplored territories. The one it borrowed the most from, unsurprisingly, is Corbucci’s 1966 spaghetti western Django, but there’s plenty of original material that sets it apart.
10 BORROWED: The Name Django
The most obvious way that Tarantino borrowed from Corbucci’s Django is taking the name Django for his protagonist. Jamie Foxx played Tarantino’s Django, while Franco Nero played Corbucci’s.
Aside from being a sharpshooter and an outright badass, Foxx’s Django is very different from Nero’s. Still, it’s a pretty distinctive name.
9 DIFFERENCE: The Antebellum Era Setting
While the original Django acknowledges the Civil War as some ex-Confederates threaten Django for having fought for the Union and some of the villains are Red Shirts (paramilitary white supremacists who wreaked havoc during the Reconstruction), it isn’t overtly about slavery. Then again, scraping the surface of the Civil War without exploring its ramifications was par for the course for Westerns of the time.
Django Unchained, on the other hand, deals with America’s darkest historical chapter head-on. Tarantino even declared it to belong to a new genre: "The Southern.”
8 BORROWED: The Brutal Violence
Although it’s relatively tame by today’s standards, Corbucci’s Django was wildly controversial for its violent content when it hit theaters in 1966. In fact, it was banned in the UK for being too violent, a ban that wasn’t lifted until a more liberal chairman took over the BBFC.
Tarantino continued that tradition in Django Unchained. To be fair, all of the director’s movies have been rife with graphic violence but with all its shootouts full of cartoonish blood spurts, Django Unchained just might be his most violent work.
7 DIFFERENCE: The Epic Scope
While the original Django is more or less confined to a single town, taking cues from Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars (which in turn took cues from Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo), Django Unchained is a large-scale epic that takes viewers all over the antebellum south.
The long section in the middle that takes place across snowy plains was inspired by a snowy section in a different Corbucci western, The Great Silence. This larger scale would also inform Tarantino's next Western, The Hateful Eight.
6 BORROWED: The Bounty Hunter Profession
Both Djangos – the one created by Corbucci and the one created by Tarantino – are bounty hunters. The larger scale and longer timeline of Django Unchained means that we get to see Jamie Foxx’s Django collect more bounties, but Django’s reputation as a feared bounty hunter in the 1966 original is made very clear.
They’re both formidably quick on the draw and have perfect aim, allowing them to take out multiple assailants at once when they’re outnumbered and faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. Sadly, the new Django doesn't carry a cool machine gun like his predecessor did.
5 DIFFERENCE: Django's Love Interest
In 1966’s Django, the title character mourns the loss of Mercedes Zaro, the love of his life who was killed by Major Jackson, and seeks vengeance against Jackson for her death. Django finds a new love interest in the prostitute María, but he’s apprehensive about getting together with her because his heart still belongs to Zaro.
In Django Unchained, Django’s love interest is his wife, Broomhilda, who’s alive but technically belongs to Calvin Candie as a slave. The movie takes a sort of fairy tale structure as Django and Dr. Schultz infiltrate Candie’s plantation to rescue Broomhilda from an evil opulent residence.
4 BORROWED: Some Of Luis Bacalov’s Score
As with most of Tarantino’s movies, the soundtrack of Django Unchained is drawn from the scores of a bunch of existing movies. One that he heavily drew from is Luis Bacalov’s gorgeous, operatic score from the original Django.
This includes the theme song, which Bacalov composed with Rocky Roberts, and the triumphant “La Corsa (2nd Version).” Plus, RZA’s end credits song, “Ode to Django (The D is Silent),” samples some of the dialogue from the English dub of Django.
3 DIFFERENCE: The Anachronistic Music
While Luis Bacalov’s score for the original Django was a pretty traditional western score – and one of the best from the Spaghetti Western subcategory – with a distinctly period-specific sound, Quentin Tarantino filled Django Unchained’s soundtrack with anachronistic music.
For example, “Unchained” is a mashup of James Brown’s “The Payback” and Tupac Shakur’s “Untouchable,” while the original track that Rick Ross recorded for the movie, “100 Black Coffins,” has a modern hip-hop sound.
2 BORROWED: Franco Nero
Tarantino tapped Franco Nero, who played Django in Corbucci’s original movie, to make a cameo appearance in Django Unchained. He plays Amerigo Vessepi, the owner of the slave fighting Calvin Candie’s slave in the Mandingo scene.
Foxx’s Django joins him at the bar, where Vessepi asks him to spell his name. Django says, “D-J-A-N-G-O. The D is silent.” In a wink to the audience, Vessepi slyly replies, “I know.”
1 DIFFERENCE: Django Is The Sidekick
Nero’s Django in the Corbucci original was a lone wolf, wandering through the Wild West, dragging a coffin and collecting bounties. Meanwhile, Foxx’s Django in Tarantino’s homage has a sidekick in the form of Dr. King Schultz, the dentist-turned-bounty hunter who trains him up.
Django does emerge as his own hero when the film ends, but some felt that this was a bit too late for their liking. In fact, Will Smith turned down the role of Django because he felt that Dr. Schultz was the true main character and he’d be playing second fiddle to Christoph Waltz.


Also, your thesis should be strong and clear. The body paragraphs should be well-organized and have some supporting evidence. Besides that, the conclusion for Romeo and Juliet essay should restate your thesis.
Romeo and Juliet compare and contrast essay may be more complicated than a simple essay on Romeo and Juliet, actually. Romeo and Juliet persuasive essay is also the hard thing to deal with. But, your essay should be about three or two pages long. This task requires some solid research and organizing skills. You should be very focused and careful.
And here you have some good Romeo and Juliet essay topics to explore and think about.
Also, you will find some helpful Romeo and Juliet essay prompts and Romeo and Juliet essay questions below.
Suggested Romeo and Juliet essay topics
- 1. You should talk about the relation between the suicidal impulse of both Romeo and Juliet and the common theme of young love. Does the author connect the self-destructive tendency and love of young people? Or maybe it is just a separate issue? Tell about your thoughts about this point.
- 2. One of the most interesting topics about this masterpiece is the relationships between parents and children in Romeo and Juliet. You should talk about the interaction of Romeo and Juliet with their parents. Can you name them the rebellious youth of those days? Tell about the feelings of their parents.
- 3. You should talk about the role of Mercutio in the whole store besides his clashing scene with Tybalt. Can you say that he is just a simple supporting character with comic impact? Or maybe his role is more serious?
- 4. What is the treat for death in Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare? You should complete your full answer in the form of familial, legal, moral, and personal issues. There are lots of young deaths in this book. You should compare two deaths of young people Romeo and Juliet. Besides that, you should talk about the murders and clashing between Mercutio and Tybalt, Romeo and Mercutio.
- 1. You should talk about the effect of accelerated time on the whole play’s production. What was the effect? Are there any doubts that the life and love story of magnitude like this could happen so quickly?
Actually, the whole story can certainly seem to take place over a time span much longer. It is because of the rushing of the love relationships between main characters. The complex development of the main events just for the few days also plays a role here. The author tried to add some more weight for the whole story and every little moment by compressing his story for just a few days. Also, Shakespeare tells us that the events were happening very quickly and main characters had no time to think about the whole situation around them. This rush gives us the sense of pressure.
- 2. You should tell about the contrast between two main characters of the play. Just try to compare two personalities of Romeo and Juliet. You should show their developments through the whole play. What caused the love between them?
Romeo is very complicated character because of his passions, intelligence, and extremely excitable nature. He is much admired in Verona. He is a good friend and very loyal. At the same time, his is very unpredictable due to his age and nature. The love to Juliet takes the whole control of him.
At the same time, Juliet is just an innocent girl. She is still a child, actually. Her love of Romeo is very unexpected and strong. She grows mentally through the whole play due to her feelings to Romeo.

Thanks to everyone who has watched @GhostMachineMov now playing exclusively on @Terrortube
The Premiere on Halloween night went really well and we really appreciate all your support.
A cast and crew screening was held at the Close Up cinema in London to coincide with the exclusive world premiere on TERRORtUBE.
Even though the film was finished back in 2020 we obviously couldn't have a screening during the pandemic, or as our director Craig Griffith put it "we had a reasonable excuse for not having a screening sooner." We did manage an on-line screening last year but it wasn't quite the same so we were determined to get everyone together as soon as we could and what better night for it than Halloween?
The screening went very well and indeed everyone wanted to watch it again so we played it straight away thanks to Will the friendly projectionist. This was followed by a Q&A with writer/producer Gladys San Juan and myself.
Finally we decamped to the bar and celebrated for several hours afterwards.
It was good to finally get to show the film to an audience and experience it on the big screen. It looked gorgeous thanks to DOP Damian Daniel's expert lighting and the vintage anamorphic lenses we shot on. Overall, the film played really well and the audience's reaction as it watched was reassuring that the film does what it should at the right times.
If you have watched the film and enjoyed it please be sure to tell others, the more the merrier and subscribe to TERRORtUBE for the further horrors to come.
