As a real witch, The Blair Witch Project deeply offended me. It was a shocking misrepresentation of our craft, and it did nothing but scare people about witchcraft.
If you’re thinking of watching this movie, I urge you not to. There are so many better ways to spend your time, and you’ll be much better off knowing nothing about the so-called “Blair Witch.”
The Blair Witch Project’s portrayal of witches
The Blair Witch Project is one of the most popular witch-themed movies of all time. But the thing is, it’s not really a movie about witches. It’s about three student filmmakers who get lost in the woods and start seeing things that aren’t really there.
The witches in The Blair Witch Project are portrayed as evil and dangerous, and they use their powers to hurt people. This is a really harmful stereotype that only serves to further the misconception that witches are evil and dangerous.
The truth is, witchcraft is not about hurting people. It’s about using your powers to help yourself and others, and it’s a practice that can be incredibly healing.
So please, don’t watch The Blair Witch Project if you’re looking for an accurate portrayal of witchcraft. There are plenty of other movies out there that do a better job of that.
How the film got some things right
You went to see The Blair Witch Project, expecting an accurate portrayal of witchcraft, and instead, you got a bunch of theatrics and some shaky camera work. Unfortunately, the film got a lot of things wrong about witchcraft.
For one, witches are not evil. We don’t go around cursing people or performing dark rituals. We are simply people who have chosen to embrace magic and use it for the benefit of all.
Secondly, we don’t fly on brooms or have green skin (not that this happens in the movie). We are just like everyone else, except we have access to a world that most people don’t understand.
And finally, witchcraft is not about fear. It’s about love, understanding, and connection. We use our magic to help others and make the world a better place.
It is a fictional story and is not based on real events or actual witchcraft practices. As a result, it is not accurate to say that the film got anything “right” about witches, as it is not intended to be a factual portrayal of witches or witchcraft.
Witches have a long history of being misunderstood and persecuted. In fact, up until the 18th century, witchcraft was considered a capital offense. So to see witches represented in such a negative light in The Blair Witch Project is really disheartening.
The truth is, witches are gentle and kind people who use their powers for good. They are healers and protectors of nature, and they have a lot to offer the world.
I hope that one day society will come to see witches in a more positive light and that The Blair Witch Project will be relegated to the annals of history where it belongs.
When the movie was released in 1999, many people believed it to be a true documentary, and this continues to perpetuate to this day.
The use of fearmongering
So you’re thinking of watching The Blair Witch Project? Well, I’m a real witch and I can tell you that this movie is a chilling misrepresentation of witchcraft.
For one thing, the Blair Witch is nothing like the loving and benevolent Mother Goddess that I serve. She’s dark, twisted, and absolutely terrifying. And the things she does to those poor kids? It’s absolutely sickening.
This movie is nothing but an exercise in fearmongering, and it’s doing a real disservice to the Pagan community. If you’re looking for an accurate portrayal of witchcraft, then you need to look elsewhere such as the following articles:
- What is Wicca?
- Clarifying Paganism from a Wiccan Perspective
- Wicca for Beginners
- What Real Witches Believe
- The 13 Goals of a Witch
The film’s impact on the occult community
So, you’ve probably seen The Blair Witch Project by now. And if you’re like most people, you think it’s a documentary. Well, I’m here to tell you that it’s not. The Blair Witch Project is nothing more than a poorly made film that exploits the general public’s fears.
It’s not just the inaccurate portrayal of witchcraft that bothers me—it’s the fact that this film has had a harmful effect on the occult community. Young witches are being ridiculed and persecuted because of this movie, and it needs to stop.
The Blair Witch Project is nothing more than a cheap scare tactic, and I encourage you to avoid it at all costs.
While the Blair Witch Project may have influenced some people’s perceptions of witches and the occult, it is important to remember that the film is a work of fiction and not a reliable source of information about these topics.
It is always important to be critical of the sources of information one consumes, and to seek out credible, reliable sources of information when seeking to learn about any topic, including the occult.

A better representation of witches in film
You probably expected a review of The Blair Witch Project, but this isn’t that. This is a plea for better representation of witches in film.
The Blair Witch Project was absolutely terrible when it came to portraying witches. They were depicted as evil, ugly, and bent on doing harm. This is a complete misrepresentation of witchcraft, which is a peaceful and positive practice.
There are so many talented filmmakers out there who could do a much better job of representing witches accurately and respectfully. So please, Hollywood, give us more accurate and respectful portrayals of witchcraft!
Some themes from the movie
Some of the main themes of the Blair Witch Project include:
- Isolation and the fear of being lost: The film’s central characters become lost in the woods and are unable to find their way back, leading to a sense of isolation and increasing fear and desperation.
- The unknown: The Blair Witch is a mysterious and unknown entity that is said to haunt the woods, and the characters’ encounters with the Blair Witch and other strange occurrences in the woods heighten a sense of fear and uncertainty.
- The power of belief: The Blair Witch legend is based on the idea that the Blair Witch is a real, supernatural being that can be summoned through belief and rituals. The characters’ encounters with the Blair Witch and belief’s role in their experiences serve as a commentary on the power of belief and its influence on our perceptions and actions.
- The impact of media: As the characters are making a documentary about the Blair Witch legend, the film also explores the role of media in shaping our perceptions of the world and the influence that media can have on our beliefs and actions.
These are universal themes worth exploring. If you are able to keep a skeptical mind about the factual portrayal of witchcraft, then there might be something to get from seeing the film.
The Blair Witch Project is a terrible representation of witches and witchcraft. It perpetuates the tired and harmful stereotype that witches are evil, ugly, and best avoided. This film does a great disservice to the witch community, and it’s time we speak out against it.


The actor Kirk Douglas is one hundred and one years old today and reportedly doing great. This year I read his autobiography, “The Ragman’s Son”. It was another of my parent’s old books, a yellowing paperback that had been on a shelf for years and after Douglas’ 100th birthday last year I resolved to read it. I’m glad I did. It’s a great read if you like movies. Or life. Autobiographies let you to live other’s lives, learn (or be entertained) by their mistakes and they can have stories better than a contrived plot.
Kirk Douglas’ original name was Issur Danielovich, the son of a Russian immigrant, who collected junk, scrap metal and rags to sell– a ragman. How did Issur become Kirk? When he became an actor, he wanted a name that would lead him to fame and fortune. He writes: “I wanted a last name that started with “D”, that wasn’t Danielovich or Demsky. Somebody suggested ‘Douglas.’ I liked it. The first name took longer. Finally, someone suggested ‘Kirk.’ It sounded right. I liked the crisp ‘k’ sound. I didn’t realize what a Scottish name I was taking.”
My name is also Kirk. My mother got the idea for my name from Kirk Douglas. I too never thought of my name as Scottish, until I saw an old movie set in Scotland where they talked about going to the “kirk”, which means church in Scotland. Apparently there are a lot of actors with the first name Kirk, and a lot of sports men with the first or last name. I wonder how many parents got the idea from Kirk Douglas.
Kirk Douglas can act. John Kricfalusi, creator of the cartoon Ren and Stimpy, said “Kirk doesn’t have just three stock expressions; he doesn’t just act with his face– he can act with his back. Kirk’s the only actor I’ve ever seen who can act with his back. They’ll have a shot of him from behind, and you’ll see muscles twitching.”
According to the book, after seeing Kirk play Vincent Van Gogh in the 1956 movie “Lust for Life”, John Wayne told him, “How dare you play a weakling, an artist who commits suicide?” The movie had disturbed John Wayne. Kirk took it as a complement.
Kirk said it was the most painful film he ever made.
A friend told me he didn’t like director Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey”, because the characters were cold and unemotional, and that he preferred the sequel, “2010”. I think Stanley deliberately made the characters that way in 2001, he certainly has had emotional characters in his movies, a perfect example is Kirk Douglas in Kubrick’s 1957 “Paths of Glory”:
Stanley had changed the script from what Kirk had agreed to, and when Kirk found out he threw the script across the room and said they’re using the original or he’s not making the movie. They shot the original script and Kirk thought it was possibly the most important picture Stanley Kubrick has ever made.
Kirk’s book has an index so it’s easy to see what he has to say about your favorite movies, stars, and directors without reading the whole book, but if you don’t read from the beginning you won’t see the big picture.
In the foreword to “The Ragman’s Son”, Kirk Douglas writes, “I must hurry, for fear that my life will be over before all of the pieces of the mosaic are put together and I can step back and look at the finished picture.” He wrote that in 1988, when he was 72, which was 29 years ago! He then wrote 10 more books, and kept making movies.
Life is short, but maybe you have more time than you think.


Hi there, thanks for taking the time to join us here at The Book of Ultimate Truths.
If you, like us, love everything to do with the movies, from the pre-production right through to the premiere and beyond, then we have something special for you.
Now we believe that as filmmakers, not only do we have a responsibility to our audience to deliver quality films that entertain, but also to ourselves and the people who invest in our films to provide clear goals around marketing and distribution to make it as successful as possible.
But all too often we see low to mid-budget features based on poor concepts, that don’t have a defined target audience, no clear strategy for distribution and marketing, and are often poorly executed, both in the writing and the production. Who wants to see these films?! We don’t, that’s for sure.
The Book of Ultimate Truths is something a little bit different. It’s a feature film adaptation of the book of the same name by best-selling writer of far-fetched fiction, Robert Rankin. We have a great production crew and are looking to fund and produce the film over the next eighteen months, with a target shoot date of summer 2018.
The state of play...
Being experienced in the world of film production, we understand that making a movie is an incredibly hard thing to do. The number of people involved alone, even on low budget features, is usually far in advance of any tech startup or business venture.
But there is something quite unique in so many people coming together to share their passion and creativity to produce something that is usually far greater than the collective whole – and that is the magic of movie-making.
Traditionally, we feel, the UK film industry tends to play it safe and produce heist movies and period dramas, and, to be honest, this lack of diversity is hurting us. Yes, the big budget pictures come in and shoot here (Star Wars: Rogue One, Transformers: The Last Knight etc.), but to be a real success, we believe that there should be more diversity of films being produced.
And the times, they are a-changing. A new breed of home-grown directors is starting to emerge, ones who understand their audience, and know that commercial demands must be wedded to artistic vision to achieve success.
Love, and a bit with a dog...
Some of the best UK low to mid budget films that went on to be commercial successes did so in a large part because of their particular ‘Britishness’. Four Weddings and a Funeral (and anything else by Richard Curtis), The King’s Speech, Withnail and I, Shakespeare in Love, I, Daniel Blake – all very dramatic and/or comedic, and all very British, which plays well at home and with US audiences.
For this project we have gone down the comedic route. For those not so familiar with Robert Rankin’s work, Robert has published over 30 novels during his career and sold in excess of 5 million copies. So we know already that we have a very solid fan-base on which to springboard. What’s more, The Book fo Ultimate Truths is one of his most popular books, and features arguably his most famous character, Hugo Rune.
Our team is also very talented, with what we consider to be a great combination of experience that is only usually found in big budget productions.
The Book of Ultimate Truths
The Book of Ultimate Truths is a hilarious and very British movie. Think of it as Bill and Ted’s Excellent and Adventure meets Withnail & I.
The story revolves around the tall and big-haired Cornelius Murphy and his diminutive best friend, Tuppe. Cornelius and Tuppe, fresh out of school and believing themselves to be the Stuff of Epics, set off on a mission to try to reclaim the missing pages from The Book of Ultimate Truths. These pages will change the history of the world forever, should they be published. But someone else is also after the missing pages, the evil Campbell, who wants the missing pages to fulfil his own nefarious deeds.
As the adventure unfolds around the United Kingdom, our heroes meet many weird and wonderful characters, from the gun-toting Monks who live in a hideous monastery, to the laughing locals of a pub apparently lost in time. Along the way they learn many strange and wonderful things, both about themselves, and the truth behind the man who wrote The Book of Ultimate Truths, Hugo Rune.
Andy Coughlan – Screenwriter and Director
Andy’s career started in marketing communications and worked as both marketing and marketing communications manager for FTSE100 companies in his career before switching over to making films, so he understands the commercial needs that come with making any product.
He brings this knowledge, combined with his project management, writing and directing talents to The Book of Ultimate Truths. Andy understands that for the film to be a success, it must reach standards much higher than most independent films reach, but not a big-budget film costs.
Andy not only embodies what a good director should be, he also understands that to achieve success, he must balance artistic vision with commercial sensibilities.
Be a part of it!
If you think you’d like to be a part of our project, either as a funder (with it’s shiny Executive Producer credit) or a crew member, drop us a line – we’d love to hear from you. We’re also offering a finder’s incentive, so if you know someone who may be interested in investing in the film, you could earn yourself a finder’s fee – and with a projected budget of £2m, that could be quite a bit of money

Star Wars and Star Trek are both shows I enjoy. I don't believe you have to pick one over the other. Ahsoka is definitely one of my favorite characters after watching Clone Wars. I'm still on season 3 of Rebels and the finale of season 2 was epic. I won't spoil it here. Star Trek the original series is my favorite Star Trek show, although I'm really enjoying Strange New Worlds. Here, suave, debonair Captain Kirk is making eyes on Ahsoka. But he better behave, or else she'll have to pull out her lightsaber! Grogu is off to his side, playing around with his chair controls. I can't wait for the live Ahsoka show as well as Tales of the Jedi!

Women’s role in early American cinema is often overlooked, but English assistant professor Donna Kornhaber — recently named a 2016 Academy Film Scholar —hopes to change that with her research on female writers who shaped the American silent film industry.
Kornhaber received a $25,000 grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Educational Grants Committee for her research proposal and forthcoming book, Women’s Work: The Female Screenwriter and the Development of Early American Film, which she says “will build on the remarkable efforts of recent feminist film historians in rewriting the history of early American cinema.”
“While women contributed to nearly all aspects of the early film industry, they were a particularly powerful force in the creation of the scenarios and screenplays that fueled the development of Hollywood,” Kornhaber says. “A full half of all the films copyrighted in the United States between 1911 and 1925 were written by women.”
“A lot of content came from women of diverse backgrounds who brought their life experiences to the screen. It was more open in the early days. The levers of power hadn’t been established yet. They were simply looking for talent.”Donna Kornhaber
She says women developed screenplays for various genres including the Hollywood epic. Anita Loos cranked out the scenario for D.W. Griffith’s 1916 Intolerance, and June Mathis, who discovered and launched the career of Rudolph Valentino, wrote the screenplay for 1925’s Ben Hur. Cecil B. DeMille, whose name is synonymous with epic filmmaking, relied on Jeanie Macpherson to write many of his silent features, including 1923’s The Ten Commandments.
“A lot of content came from women of diverse backgrounds who brought their life experiences to the screen,” says Kornhaber. “It was more open in the early days. The levers of power hadn’t been established yet. They were simply looking for talent.”
She adds that filmmaking changed with the advent of sound movies, which helped transform studios into major businesses. “By the 1930s you begin to see complaints about ‘the tyranny of the woman writer,’ and many of the women screenwriters who had been so prominent in the decade before begin to lose their influence as the industry shifted around them.”
Kornhaber joins 14 Academy film scholars who are currently working on projects and 15 other scholars whose works have already been published. Established in 1999, the Academy Film Scholars program is designed to support significant new works of film scholarship.
“She has written a brilliant, prize-winning book on Charlie Chaplin, she has just finished a new book on film director Wes Anderson, and now she has won a scholarly Oscar for her next project on female screenwriters: a truly amazing achievement,” says Elizabeth Cullingford, chair of the Department of English. “She embodies the kind of all-around scholarly and pedagogical excellence we most treasure in the English Department.”

Filmic language can be useful in terms of understanding and expressing the relative distance between the reader/viewer and a given subject in a graphic story (see Filmic Language, Part 1). However, it can also help us understand our angle of view with regards to the subject, which in itself can have an impact on how we perceive what we are seeing.
A bird's-eye view in a comic allows us to view the contents of a panel from overhead, helping us to do one of a number of different things, including seeing the context of a scene with greater clarity or giving us a clear sense of a character's predicament. When a graphic storyteller shows us a character from a bird's-eye view, they can seem smaller, weaker, or more insignificant than when shown from a different angle. They can look physically smaller and less imposing, and therefore more vulnerable.
In this type of shot in a graphic story, the camera looks up at the subject from below. This can make the subject itself seem much larger, more imposing, or even more physically intimidating, especially as the bug's-eye shot moves closer to the actual subject and the angle gets closer to 90 degrees.
In this shot, a character is typically shown in the immediate foreground of the panel with another character further away. The action of the panel is sometimes literally framed bythe head and shoulders of the character in the foreground, thus giving the shot its name. It is a commonly used shot in the exchange of dialogue since it gives the reader an opportunity to perceive the character (or object, scene, etc.) in the distance from the general point of view of the character in the foreground.
For the POV shot, the viewer takes a small step forward from the over-the-shoulder shot to become, in effect, the character in the foreground. Comics and films from the horror genre use this shot frequently since it can develop great anxiety and anticipation in the reader/viewer. It can allow him or her to walk in the shoes of a killer or potential victim, seeing only what this character sees. Its use, however, is not limited to the horror genre, and a POV shot has wide applications in visual narrative.
Shot / Reverse Shot
This is a common technique in graphic storytelling that has been inherited from classic Hollywood films that sought to de-emphasize transitions from one scene to the next . Often, a shot / reverse shot in a panel sequence involves a medium over-the-shouldershot of two characters in conversation followed by a panel in which the characters' positions are reversed. This allows for a fairly seamless conversation.

This year the pioneering Afghan theatre company – ‘Rah-e-Sabz’ (Path of Hope) – will be staging Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors in Dari at the Globe theatre as part of the London 2012 Festival. The Globe is hosting productions of all of Shakespeare’s 37 plays, each performed in a different language.
The path to the Afghan production is by no means easy. Notwithstanding the fall of the Taliban, a woman appearing on stage in Afghanistan is still perceived by some to be little better than a prostitute. For over a generation men and women have not appeared on stage together and professional theatre barely exists.


Check out these great new episode stills from the upcoming episode from Pretty Little Liars entitled “The Blonde Leading The Blind” which will air on January 23rd on ABC Family.
In the episode Toby continues to pursue Spencer, knowing that she is keeping something from him. With another “accident” possibly popping up at any minute, Spencer is desperate to keep Toby safe and can think of only way to truly end it.
Also worried about her relationship, Hanna begs the other girls to stop using Caleb to help with their search. The more involved Caleb gets, the bigger target he becomes. But is the valuable information Caleb is finding more important to the others than Caleb’s safety?
Meanwhile, Aria is desperate to save her relationship with Ezra, who is still not returning her calls. Will one more “date” with Holden give Aria the opportunity to get the answer from Ezra she is longing for?
Make sure to watch the episode on January 23rd on ABC Family, but for now check out some episode stills below.


Good artist, bad critic
Good artist bad critic, is a scripted performance about the inner workings of succession in the relationship of the artist-critic. This scripted narrative is drawn from my own personal experience working as a curator in Paris however the tragicomic play about the dual role of artist and critic takes a strange twist when the critic becomes the subject of the artist’s work and the artist ends up playing the role of a critic-gallerist. and successional reversals that take place in these relationships.
Drawn from my own personal experience working as a curator in Paris, Good artist bad critic, a tragicomic play about the dual role of artist and critic that I scripted with myself playing the artist and my colleague Tobias Benedetto playing the role of the curator/critic.
In a strange and tragic twist of fate, the curator/critic becomes the art and the artist is redeemed in his quest for fulfilment and validation. The project allowed me to examine my role as an artist while adressing in particular, the administrative "weight" that curators have.


Saturday I took Bella and a few of her friends out for an evening of birthday fun! I don’t have much to say but I had to post a few pictures and say how much I love my quirky girl! She loves life so much!! Those silly glasses are NOT real. They don’t even have any lenses in them but she loves to wear them. Quirky Kids Rock!
I think the girls had a lot of fun. I took them out to eat, bought them gelato that was ENTIRELY too expensive and then we went to see Legend of the Guardians . I didn’t love the movie. The computer graphics were great but the movie was meh. Too creepy for little ones (imo). I didn’t like how the movie was glorifying MYTHS as REAL, if you just believe in them. According to the old wise one, you should listen to your “gizzard” and not your head. Belief and believing was a theme in the movie and I’m just not a fan.

Chief Persuader and Facilitator
Tam has over 10 years of hard earned experience in disability and community theatre. Since graduating with a second class honours English Degree, from the University of Kent at Canterbury, she has thrown herself into the world of educational theatre and is an accomplished performer, facilitator and writer.
Tam spent 9 happy years with Double Act Disability Theatre Company, where she performed in 10 shows, learned the art of facilitating workshops and managed and organised tours and other projects.
Alongside her work with Double Act, Tam trained for four years, as Assistant Director on the Remix Youth Performance Company (managed by Activate Performing Arts), where she worked alongside the Artistic Director, assisting on residencies and leading sections of rehearsals. As the final part of her traineeship, working in partnership with two others, Tam devised and directed a production of Spotlight with an integrated cast of 20 young people. Spotlight was performed in Bournemouth Pavilion's Ballroom in May 2011, as the final showcase for the three Remix Associate Artists.
Tam has also received training from Dorset's State of Play Arts, London's Diverse City, and Graeae, the UK's leading disabled theatre company, with all of whom she continues to work and maintain strong links.
Tam was recently an Emerging Artist on Breathe (Diverse City) a project which saw the coming together of professional disabled and non-disabled Artists and community performers from Dorset and Brazil, to create a piece to be performed on Weymouth beach as part of the opening ceremony of the Olympic and Paralympic Sailing events in July 2012.
As well as her work in disability theatre, Tam has worked as an actor and facilitator on projects with the Borough of Poole and Bournemouth's former Theatre in Education team. For full details of Tam's arts work, and to see Tam in action, check out her Linkedin page and watch clips from her performance work with Double Act Disability Theatre Company at the bottom of this page.
Tam is also currently the Admin & Fund-raising Assistant for Salisbury- based LinkUpArts, an organisation that supports and provides networking opportunities for disabled artists in the Southwest.
“I love the moment when I see my work making a difference: the concentrated buzz of the classroom; the excited thrill as the audience and I react to each other on stage.“
I am an actor and freelance drama facilitator, and am training to become a theatre producer.
Since leaving Jellicoe theatre with a First Diploma in Performing Arts in 2005, I joined Double Act Disability Theatre Company as an actor. During my seven years with Double Act, I performed in a total of nine productions, and with the company’s help, I was able gain the experience and confidence to train to become a drama facilitator.
I trained on the Remix Youth Performance Company as a mentor / Associate Artist. During my five years of training I facilitated workshops, learned about the technical side, and co-directed Spotlight, which was performed in the Ballroom at Bournemouth Pavilion.
I have worked with Bournemouth Gateway club as their drama facilitator and I was an Emerging Artist (with the role of assistant producer) for the Breathe project (Diverse City) whicinvolved h both Double Act and the Remix, performed on Weymouth beach on the 28th of July 2012 as part of the opening ceremony for the 2012 Olympic Games.
I am currently a Board Member at Poole Forum, an organisation that 'speaks up' and campaigns for the rights and opportunities for people with learning disabilities.
I first worked with Tam on the Wizard of Oz and our friendship and professional relationship has grown from there. Here’s hoping that Persuasion Arts will lead us down the yellow brick road of success.

The *Annotated* Taming: Or, Out of the Saddle, Into the Dirt
Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" tells the story of Katherina Minola, a fiercely independent young woman held in captivity by her father until a husband can be secured. Enter Petruchio, a man who has come to town to wive it wealthily. He is enticed by Katherinas dowry and inspired by the challenge of taming a woman who is, by all accounts, a shrew.
This play has been a hotbed of controversy for its nearly 450 years of production history. There has arisen a collective desire to prove that Shakespeare must have written the play in jest, rather than as a moralistic tale intended to put women in their place.
No matter the original intention, The *Annotated* Taming takes a look at the play in the context of the contemporary political and cultural landscape, most specifically as it relates to the treatment of women. It also brings to the script a brand-new character, the radical annotator The Librarian, as well as songs written by Western Massachusetts-based duo Old Flame.
This event features live music by Old Flame, followed by a reading of the adaptation featuring the following cast:
Librarian - Kate Hare
Katherina - Ellen Morbyrne
Bianca - Julissa Rodriguez
Curtis - Lisa Abend*
Widow - Emma Ayres
Petruchio - Dan Morbyrne

STOP FILMING US: A documentary about white saviorism
The documentary film ‘Stop filming us’ was released earlier this year and is now being presented in several locations (such as the Human Rights Film Festival Berlin, the Africa museum, Congo in Harlem and several Dutch universities). In the film we see Dutch filmmaker Joris Postema in Goma (Democratic Republic of Congo), where he follows three young Congolese artists. They talk about their struggle and frustration with the western dominance and their city being portrayed as dangerous. Postema’s position as a western filmmaker is being questioned. The movie is intended to create a dialogue between the Congolese reality and the Western perspective. The question however then rises whether a western filmmaker can really give an honest and Congolese perspective. How do the Congolese feel about these white saviors? And are they actually doing something good when trying to do good? Is it even possible for a western filmmaker to leave the stereotypical and western thoughts behind?
Most of the imagery coming from Goma is negative and it is westerners that are in control of which information is being spread and how the city is being represented. Western NGO’s are also expecting a certain type of images. Most humanitarian images are intended to awaken emotions with the viewers and trigger a certain response out of guilt. These images clearly emphasize a victim-savior relationship and portray stereotypical pictures. Not many people get to see the real image. The photograph below for example portrays a young girl with a sad look in her eyes, although she is surround by lush and green fields. Even though the photo is made by Congolese photographer Ley Uwera, she does acknowledge that she works for western NGO’s and she has a contract. She needs to give them the type of images that they want to see.
The young Congolese artists in the documentary are trying to show the Congolese reality, which many foreigners never get the chance to see. It is obvious that we need to change the perspective. The main issue the film brings up is that it is extremely difficult to change this perspective. Not only white people that come to Africa are indoctrinated by the stereotypical images, also the Congolese themselves are and I quote: “a colonized African” or one “with an NGO mentality”. The young filmmaker, Bernadette Vivuya, is looking to fund the second part of her documentary film about colonialism. She is advised to contact the ‘Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles’ that has an office in Kinshasa. How contradictory is it for someone to have to ask for funding to their former colonists to create a movie about the consequences of the colonization. This only confirms the white dominance that is still present today and this way the real Congolese perspective will never be shown or will always be influenced by the former perpetrators.
Although some of the points that come up in the documentary are interesting, important and relevant; we need to step up and not deem it normal that a western filmmaker makes a movie about the Congolese perspective on white saviorism. This documentary definitely is food for thought. As a young non-professional aid worker, one needs to wonder whether or not good can actually be done by volunteering abroad and by going to Africa ‘to help’. I honestly felt a bit upset after seeing the movie. It could be that the makers intended to spark this emotion and make the audience wonder and reflect. However, it bothers me that the western filmmaker – who could have done his research before leaving – comes over as ignorant. Not being able to speak French and using a translator is only one reason. He is also completely unaware of certain other problematic behavior – such as giving food to children on the street. It shows that the process of decolonization is still a long one. What I appreciated about the documentary was the last scene where the movie is shown to some young Congolese and they get the chance to give their opinion about the film. Many of them tell the filmmaker that he can go, others believe he could stay.
Although there are some flaws, this documentary might have increased the discussion and let people – mainly westerners – think and reflect upon their actions before coming to Africa. Have you seen the documentary? Do you want to see it? Let me know what you think about the film.

Scarecrow and Episode III
I mention it because I went with my friend Scarecrow, and suddenly realized it was probably going to be the last movie the two of us saw together. Which is kinda appropriate for several reasons. The first movie we saw together was Episode I, when we stood in line for tickets, my CD player blasting the soundtrack that he had picked up earlier that day. We went with a huge group of friends, and it was the experience of seeing the movie, rather than the movie itself, that I enjoyed.
After that, we started meeting every so often to go see movies in the city. Mark is a huge movie person, follows them with a passion. He keeps me updated on projects that I might enjoy seeing, tells me what's going on in the latest Star Trek franchise, and generally doesn't let me only see "artsy fartsy" movies when I go to the theater. He's probably responsible for almost every movie I saw in a "main stream" theater over the past few years.
It's been the main part of our friendship, and something I'm really going to miss.
It's kinda beginning to hit now. There are people that I may never see again. I have life plans that will keep me out of Canada entirely for at least five years. I have been unwilling to plan beyond that, but I don't really see a future where I come back here to live. And people move on and change and do exciting things and have babies and live their lives, and things drift apart, and it's sad.
I'm eager for that future, that five year plan, but I can't help but look back right now on the people and places I'm leaving behind.
So, yeah. Thanks, Mark, for making me see Spiderman 2 in theaters, and I'm sorry I giggled through the entire wedding scene (but that dress was fugly, dude! How could you not?). And I'm really glad I didn't listen to my own instincts, and went with you to see Finding Nemo, cuz that was the first DVD I bought in China, it was so good. It's been a lot of fun. I'm kinda glad the Star Wars franchise seems to be ending here, because it wouldn't be the same seeing the next movie without you.
(If you want to know my thoughts about some issues in the movie, please read my live journal post. I'd love to get some responses to my thoughts there. But it has spoilers in it. And it's not a review.)

Hey Guys! Been a while since I just casually wrote a review like this and since most of my posts have been book reviews I just wanted to have a little bit of a change I guess.
So on Sunday, I went and saw Finding Dory. It was opening weekend so to say that it was absolutely packed would be a very big understatement!
I went into this movie with high expectations, and let me tell you that those expectations were met above and beyond!!
I honestly feel like I like this movie better than the first, I feel as though the messages that flowed throughout the film were more informative and less known to the world, where as the first film really didn’t hold a particular message at all, other than the importance of family.
The ending to me was what held the most important meaning of all the film, without spoiling the ending, I will just say that I hope what happened inspires those in real life to follow in the footsteps of this film.
It was so cool seeing all the old characters come back into another movie and I love how it started with Dory as a baby (which was beyond adorable may I add!) and I also love how they added in the time that Dory and Marlin both met for the first time but this time from Dory’s point of view instead of Marlin’s.
This isn’t to do with the movie itself as such, but the opening short film of the baby seagull may or may not have been the cutest and best opening that a Disney film has ever had. I also really appreciate the small message that was found in that short film that would have inspired some of the smaller audience in the theatre.
Overall, I loved the film. Much more than the first one that’s for sure. Dory’s backstory was intriguing and just too cute. Would 10/10 recommend to all those Disney lovers of all ages that are wanting to go see it, if you are on the fence about it I guarantee to you that it is worth it and you wont regret it!!!


Driving Miss Daisy is a light comedy-drama genre of movie. It was released on December 13th 1989. It evoked a lot of emotion, because it focusses on Daisy’s life, she wants to be independent but will she eventually be? It was directed by the renowned director, Bruce Beresford. It was a successful movie because in 1990 on the 62nd Academy award it received many nomination about 9 nominations and it won 4 of the nomination, this included Daisy who was awarded the best actress. Jessica Tandy was onе of the nominees announced on February 14th and it was some kind of symbolic Valentine’s Day gift for her. You will be surprised that this movie began as a play in small theatres.
Driving Miss Daisy is all about the drama and memorable moments that Daisy Werthan (Jessica Tandy) faces. It is also in a traditional structured suburb (Atlanta) setting this is in 1940 and early 1950s. If you notice this is after the civil right movement. Daisy life is intertwined with Hoke Colburn (Morgan Freeman), who is just a mere driver. The movie begins with Daisy who is 60 years old almost in an accident. Many companies do not want to insure the accident. Boolie (Dan Aykroyd) who is the son and the heir of the textile firm is worried and decides to get her driver who will drive her around. This is where Daisy and Hoke meet. Hoke is also elderly and we dare say he is almost her age.
Daisy is a stubborn lady, she does not want a driver, and she wants her independence. This movie gives and illustrate Daisy and Hoke relationship.
There must be a reason it won the award on 1990, it has an in-depth research on the characters especially the two main characters. The actor and actress did not disappoint they have played their role in accordance, at some point you could not help but just laugh when watching the movie. The character actually contrast with each other, Daisy is a Jewish lady and has her beliefs and Hoke is an African American. Daisy is wealthy though she did not begin this way, she has struggled to get where she is and this shows you that this lady is a go getter, and very persistent and definitely independent. Hoke on the other side is not really wealthy but from the movie you can tell he is grateful of what he has achieved. He is this guy who is always calm and patient.
Even without mention you can tell there will be antagonism between the two. I tend to think Hoke’s character is what that allows them to form a bond, in fact this bond becomes very strong. This film was able to deliver perfectly the gradual bonding this is through depicting some small but cherish able moments.
Their bond beats all the odds, including racism. If you continue watching, you notice she does talk against discrimination and racism. Without say it had good graphics as well as an interesting storyline worth watching all the time. It gives a clear picture on personal relationship that are affected and influenced by the society. It also shows the dynamics of the society.
Driving miss daisy is emotional and it gives you a bone to chew and think of what has been experienced, and how a bond can thrive through all this odds. It is a must see, don’t forget to check it out.

Ki & Ka Movie Review
Movie: Ki & Ka
Starring: Kareena Kapoor Khan and Arjun Kapoor
Director: R. Balki
Ki & Ka essentially deals with the theme of role reversal in a conventional relationship. In the movie Kareena is the bread earner while Arjun is the home-maker. Despite being an IIM-B topper, he thus arranges ‘kitty parties’ for fat aunties at home. They are happily married till it comes to Arjun being called the ‘nikamma’.
Arjun’s role remains confused throughout the movie but Kareena’s character is nicely drawn. The movie could have been executed in a better way. The songs of the movie are somewhat nice. Critics have rated this movie 3.5/5.

In the illustrious world of cinema, Indian Cinema has produced masterpieces that have captivated audiences worldwide and earned prestigious recognition on the global stage – the Oscars. The Indian film industry, known for its rich diversity and cultural vibrancy, has left an indelible mark with movies and songs that have stood out and garnered acclaim from the Academy Awards.
The Epitome of Indian Cinema
Lagaan (2001) – The Musical Saga of Resistance
One of the most iconic moments in Indian cinema came with Ashutosh Gowariker’s “Lagaan.” This epic sports drama, set against the backdrop of colonial India, not only resonated with audiences but also impressed the Oscar jury. Aamir Khan’s stellar performance and A.R. Rahman’s soul-stirring music elevated “Lagaan” to international acclaim, earning it an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film in 2002.
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) – A Rags-to-Riches Triumph
While not an Indian production, “Slumdog Millionaire” had a significant Indian influence in its storyline and music. Directed by Danny Boyle and co-directed by Loveleen Tandan, the film showcased the resilience of a Mumbai slum dweller. A.R. Rahman’s exceptional musical score, featuring the Oscar-winning song “Jai Ho,” marked a historic moment for Indian music on the global stage.
“Jai Ho” – A.R. Rahman’s Oscar-Winning Anthem
A.R. Rahman’s brilliance reached its pinnacle with “Jai Ho,” the anthem of success from “Slumdog Millionaire.” The song, featuring Sukhvinder Singh and Mahalakshmi Iyer, won the Oscar for Best Original Song and became a global sensation. Its infectious energy and uplifting melody continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, proudly representing India on the international music scene.
“Binte Dil” – padmaavat’s Soulful Ballad
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus “Padmaavat” may not have clinched an Oscar, but the hauntingly beautiful “Binte Dil” deserves recognition. Sung by Arijit Singh and composed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the song is a testament to the cinematic brilliance and musical artistry that emanates from the heart of Indian cinema.
India’s Oscar triumph celebrates cinematic achievements, reflecting diverse narratives and musical brilliance on the global stage. As the world embraces Indian cinema and music, these Oscar recognitions inspire future generations, leaving an indomitable imprint on the international stage.


It could have been a terrific historical drama sans songs. Even now its worth watching.
I loved many aspects of the film. Director Krish put it all together very well and my salutations to him. To dig into history and get information is the job of a historian. To write history dramatically is the job of a writer. To translate the writing into a worthy celluloid film is the job of a director. He plays it all and he plays all these roles really well.
All through the film, I did not find a moment of boredom except for the songs. The editing and the writing were superb ans they gelled well. I loved even the production design too. In thw days of Vfx, we may see some glitches but those are fine. Since the content was commendable, I could easily forgive many technical aspects of the film.
If not for Balakrishna, the dialogues would not have created impact. If not for Director Krish, the movie would not have been made so quickly. So kudos to the team. The dialogues are terrific.
Prior to this film, I loved "Aditya 369" and "Bhairava Dweepam" of Balakrishna and this is the 3rd film of his I loved.
Historically we had some great war films. "Palmati Yuddham" was for me the finest war film made in Telugu. Now, this film falls in that league.
Here is a confession, I did not see "Bahubali" and I have no intention to watch it either. Simply because it did not attract me enough for watching. So technically, "Gutamiputra Satakarni" is the best visual effects film I have seen in Telugu.
"Saho" Director Krish you take all the credit. Thanks to you and your team. A 4/5 for giving us a piece of history and making it a great memory.

We’re currently hosting the Jewish Theatre Company as they present Jack Rosenthal’s comedy classic “The Bar Mitzvah Boy”. We are sold out for every night and there are just one or two tickets left for Sunday’s matinee. Finally the phones have gone quieter but the building is buzzing with anticipation. Props are strewn around the general office and the main synagogue hall waits each night to be transformed into a theatre space.
The JTC have been rehearsing here at night and on Sunday afternoons for weeks. I had a quick chat with Fran the director to see how she felt about working here. Fran told me how much the cast had enjoyed working in such a beautiful environment and found it an exciting challenge. It’s great to have a ready made shul for one of the scenes. Having the audience on two side rather than just in front is an interesting situation to deal with. There have been problems with lighting and sound all of which have been sorted out.
The play is set in the 1970’s and the props particularly the furniture have been difficult to find. Most of the costumes were hired and some props were bought on Ebay. It will really be a trip down memory lane for some of the audience.
Fran has enjoyed directing a cast in which there is a wide range of ages. Younger cast members in particular are very open to suggestions and are eager to try out new ideas.
The characters in the play are so well crafted that the audience will easily identify with them and feel as if they have met them before. The mother Rita is a very comical character who is so bound up with the arrangements for the bar mitzvah celebration that she has almost lost sight of her son and his feelings. I wonder how many mothers of former bar mitzvah boys there will be in the audience and whether they will squirm a little as they watch Rita’s antics.
Finally Fran says she and the cast were nervous but excited about opening night and we now know that it went really well.

Last Saturday I saw the movie Transcendence (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCTen3-B8GU). It's gotten mixed reviews on how good or not good it was as a movie, but two elements of the plot really intrigued me, and I think that alone makes it worth seeing (I'm not enough of an artist to say if it's a good movie from a filmography standpoint, or enough of a writer to say if the plot is predictable or not).
Some minor spoilers will appear below.
1. The RIFT Terrorists
One of the things I really loved about this movie was that there was no "one good guy" or "one bad guy". Everyone was just human, with understandable fears and motives. The RIFT group had a really great point - a really strong AI, while it would mean a lot of very exciting things for technology, would also be somewhat terrifying. Preventing that AI from getting online and from taking over the world is an understandable motive. Doing it by killing tons of people (note in the trailer he says, "they hit AI labs all over the world") is not so good, but terrorists use death and bombs to make points. For the first time EVER, I sort of understood the point they were trying to make. People weren't listening to them about the dangers of the AI, so they made their voices louder. In a terrible, violent way, but they were louder.
2. The Fear of Death
The main premise of the movie is that Will, a famous AI professor (played by Johnny Depp) is dying from radiation poisoning (from RIFT). His wife, Evelyn, comes up with the idea to combine two kinds of AI research to protect his consciousness. She scans his brain and loads it into PINN (Physically Independent Neural Network). You can see all this in the trailer - and my especially favorite part is when the AI imitates his face and she tears up touching him. She's so afraid of her husband dying, and wants to be together with him forever - so she does questionable things with technology to save him. I thought this was interesting. In our last Bible Study, we read about how, when King David's child died (in 2 Samuel 12:23) he said "I will go to him, but he will not return to me". For believers, this is the hope and comfort after death - that you will see that person again and they are rejoicing with Christ. But for this movie, it was the exact opposite - Evelyn needed Will to come back to her, instead of hoping that she could go to be with him. There was no hope of life after death for them, so she had to find a creepy way to resurrect her husband.
In the trailer, they show a small part of the nano-tech: a computer arm goes into a dead plant and it is revived. The solar panels are able to re-build themselves (also in the trailer), and ultimately, we're led to believe that Will and Evelyn are somehow together at the end through the power of nano-technology (although that's more like the Inception spinning top - it's up for debate). I thought the nano-tech was amazing, but then I thought about the implications of never dying, and (this part confused me) the nano tech was some how connected to the AI. This was the one part of the movie that I didn't understand, but would love to learn more about and think more about!
So, I would say I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually enjoyed Transcendence.


Oliver Stone’s Alexander is a historical drama starring Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Jared Leto and Val Kilmer. Areas around Essaouira provided a picturesque backdrop for the Macedonian mountains, small basins, agricultural lands and rivers. The scene in the Macedonian horse market where young Alexander (Connor Paolo) surprises everyone by taming and subduing Bucephalus, was shot near Essaouira.
The Kingdom of Heaven, directed by Ridley Scott.
The Kasbah of Essaouira was transformed to Jerusalem. Balian of Ibelin travels to Jerusalem during the crusades of the 12th century, and there he finds himself as the defender of the city and its people.
In 2012, the dutch film Land , about wind surf was shot in Moulay Bouzerktoun.
Whether or not you are a fan of HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, anyone visiting Marrakesh simply must spend some time exploring the Phoenician settlement of Mogador at Essaouira. It’s just like stepping into an episode of Game of Thrones because the travels of the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, and all scenes of the city of Astapor were filmed there. Some of the scenes set in King’s Landing, with imposing walls overlooking an ocean vista, were also filmed at Essaouira.
Medina of Essaouira is a fortified seaport from the late 18th century and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its picturesque little streets and alleys combine North African and European architectural styles giving it a unique character and atmosphere. It’s no surprise that the city was chosen as a shooting location for Game of Thrones. It feels like something from a fairy tale when you walk around the Medina. It has also featured in a number of blockbuster films including Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, Terry Gilliam’s cult classic Time Bandits and the epic Lawrence of Arabia.
Close to Mogador, out in the desert, you can find more cinematic history. Atlas Studios is one of the largest film studios in the world and they now offer guided tours for film fanatics. Most of these tours are in French, so if your French is rusty then you need to either specify that you want an English language tour or try and find a French or Arabic guide.. French is spoken quite a lot in tourist areas, but Arabic and Berber are more common. English is rarer but hotels can usually point you toward English language history tours if you need them.
Essaouira provides the perfect backdrop for Daenerys’s journey through a sun bleached land with her young dragons. It is in the historic fortified sea port towns of this region that she attempts to amass an army and acquires the loyalty of a host of castrato soldiers called the Unsullied. You can follow in her footsteps and look out across the warm African Atlantic Ocean or explore the varied and rich history, from the iconic walls of the 18th-century fortified town to fascinating ancient Phoenician artefacts in Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum. The museum, a refurbished riad, also boasts an interesting collection of jewellery, clothing, weapons, musical instruments and intricately woven carpets of the region.
If you want to go on a Game of Thrones holiday but Iceland is too cold for you, then it’s best to stay South of the wall and take a trip to Essaouira in Morocco!
