At times, I have felt somewhat like Brendan Fraser’s character, David Greene, in School Ties. David grew up in a middle (maybe even lower-middle) class Jewish family in Scranton, Pennsylvania. David receives a scholarship to a prep school in Massachusetts, but tries to hide his Jewish identity from his new classmates. The movie is set in the 1950s and David faces severe anti-Semitism when one of his classmates (played by Matt Damon) finds out that David is Jewish.
I’ve never actually kept my Jewish identity a secret (and I’ve only faced anti-Semitism on a handful of occasions); but until relatively recently, I have kept my identity as a Karaite Jew somewhat private in religious Jewish circles.


Quite a number of people have managed to download the season premier of the Game of Thrones on BitTorrent, around a million already in less than a day. Just hours after the first torrent of the show went live, hundreds and thousands had already went out and grabbed a copy, breaking a few records in the process. Most notably the amount of people sharing a file at the same time — more than 160,000 simultaneous peers around the world. Previously the record went to the season premier of the TV show Heroes, with 144,663 peers.
With numerous files spawning over a million downloads, Game of Thrones will most likely be one of the most downloaded TV shows this year. One of the main reasons for this is the international delay in airing, fans outside of the U.S. will have to wait a while before they can see the latest episode on HBO. HBO tries to bridge the gap, but a few hours is just too long for some, add to that the HBO subscription needed as well.
But for HBO, this piracy isn’t actually killing the show, it actually helps the show by creating cultural buzz, as said by show director David Petrarca. HBO might prefer it if viewers paid for Game of Thrones but its programming president Michael Lombardo feels that it’s a compliment that so many enjoy the show. It isn’t hurting DVD sales either “The demand is there,” Lombardo said. “And it certainly didn’t negatively impact the DVD sales.”
The Philippines is also among the top ten who have downloaded the show according to TorrentFreak, sitting between Norway and Sweden at number nine.

As the entertainment industry continues to grow, the demand for contract actors is on the rise. However, many people are still confused about what a contract actor is and what their role really is. In this article, we’ll define what a contract actor is, what they do, and why they are important in the film industry.
What is a Contract Actor?
A contract actor is an actor who is signed to a contract with a production company or studio. This contract typically outlines the duration of the actor’s employment, the number of episodes they will appear in, and their salary. A contract actor may also receive other benefits such as travel accommodations and insurance.
What Do Contract Actors Do?
Contract actors are hired to play a specific character in a movie or television series. They work closely with the director and other actors to bring their character to life. They must memorize lines, take direction, and work well with their co-stars. Contract actors may also be asked to attend press events and promotional tours to help promote the project they are working on.
Why are Contract Actors Important?
Contract actors are an essential part of the film industry because they bring a level of consistency to a project that can be difficult to achieve otherwise. The director knows what to expect from a contract actor, and this can help keep the production on schedule and within budget. Additionally, contract actors can help create a sense of continuity for the audience. When viewers see the same actor playing the same character over several episodes or movies, they become invested in that character’s story and are more likely to continue watching.
In conclusion, contract actors play an important role in the entertainment industry. They are hired to play a specific character and work under a contract with a production company or studio. Contract actors bring a level of consistency to a project, helping the production stay on schedule and within budget, and creating a sense of continuity for the audience.


Mediterranean scenes from the 16th century became familiar to future teachers in drama rehearsals at the University of Tampere. The rehearsals were a part of teacher training and they were based on Othello, the play by William Shakespeare, and Otellopeli, a performance by the professional Ahaa theatre.
Othello, written by Shakespeare in 1603 (Othello: The Moor of Venice), is a tragic tale of jealousy, which takes place in Cyprus after Venetian troops have conquered the island.
Otellopeli by the Ahaa touring theatre is based on Othello and written and directed by Marika Vapaavuori. It tells the story of a group of young top-level athletes who practice eastern martial arts. But instead of in the past, the events take place in an imagined country in the future.
Thinking about the teacher’s role
The drama rehearsals and the Ahaa theatre performance offered the students a wide spectrum of interpretations whereby they were able to reflect and work on their own roles as teachers.
Teacher training students from a wide range of subjects participated in the rehearsals, including history and civics, plus the English and French languages.
“The drama rehearsals addressed the different elements of the play before the students went on to see the performance, which they found really impressive,” says University Lecturer Pirjo Vaittinen, who teaches didactic methods in the subject of the Finnish language.
According to Vaittinen, drama entails a “drama contract” that helps the participants to know that they are operating in a fictional world and in the characters’ fictional life.
“Venetians understand straight away that the masks come off when the carnival is over, and after that nobody is called what they were called when in their roles. This enables the freedom and a more permissible atmosphere.”
Drama as part of historical awareness
“Drama and teaching through drama are an essential part of historical awareness,” says university lecturer Esko Nikander, who teaches didactics in the subjects of history and civics.
Through the ages, drama has been used to teach history, although perspectives have changed from the antiquity to the present. From the point of view of civics, drama offers a means to overcome boundaries and to combine the perspectives of different school subjects.
“This is pedagogy that links the various subjects. Drama takes into account values, attitudes and principles, and the interests and intrigues of individuals and groups. It creates tension. This is what actually happens in societies regardless of time or age.”
Nikander thinks that drama is particularly well-suited for the investigation of teacher identity in this particular group of school subjects. A further aim is to give the students tools that encourage experiments.
The non-verbal signals of bullying
In one drama exercise, the students went to an imagined Venetian square and communicated with each other non-verbally. They had roles from all walks of life, from generals to servants and fools.
The only indication of the character’s social standing was given on a piece of paper pinned to the student’s back. The students were able to deduct their own position from the non-verbal signals the others were giving. After the exercise, the students realised that they were able to interpret their own social standing quite accurately on the basis of the other people’s behaviour. People bowed to the general but a servant was passed indifferently.
“The source of present-day bullying is just this. We also have non-verbal ways of communicating in our society. Bullying is not just related to how the pupils behave in school or the classroom but to how people behave in the society in general,” Nikander says.
Drama liberates language learning
“Drama pedagogy is well suited for language teaching,” says university lecturer Maaret Malhonen, who is in charge of language teaching.
“Some students may have negative experiences of language learning, but drama exercises make them feel liberated.”
Learning grammar by rote and being afraid of making mistakes are typical of the learning experiences of many generations.
“We Finns have a problem in that we require that everything is always said in the correct way. Maybe the younger generations are no longer like this, but some of us teachers still had this experience. Drama can provide a new way of learning,” Malhonen says.
Not just knowledge but experience too
Drama pedagogy offers a comprehensive tool for teaching, but according to Esko Nikander there is nothing new in the method as such.
“The question is of making the teachers realise the significance of this working method or thinking for in-depth learning. This is not about performing a great play because there is a lot of variation in drama.”
Cooperation and social interaction are important, not doing a full theatre production.
“The old school system did not take account of people’s experiences, just knowledge. Drama and the related reflection offer pupils a way of experiencing their own feelings and thoughts. This was not something that was demanded of us who went to school at an earlier time. We were just asked in which year the Peace of Westphalia took place.”
Upper secondary school and UTA produced a series of exercises
The School of Education has cooperated in drama pedagogy with pupils in the study programme for music theatre at the Hatanpää upper secondary school. This cooperation has resulted in a series of exercises that can be used at school. An English language version for use in English classes is also in the making.
“The high school pupils from Hatanpää are charming to work with. Students in subject teacher training work together with the high school pupils in doing these exercises. The work has resulted in poems that are like Shakespeare’s Willow song, which portends the tragic ending of Othello. The students wrote poems together and the results are wonderful,” enthuses Pirjo Vaittinen.
Ahaa is a touring theatre troop that often performs at schools. Now it can also offer exercise packages to schools.
“Ahaa theatre gave us this performance and we got the opportunity to admire their actors for a short while after the performance. Then we gave them these exercises,” says Vaittinen.
Cooperation with the Hatanpää upper secondary school is a new opening because the subject teacher training has traditionally cooperated with the Normal School at the University of Tampere.
The instructors of the drama pedagogy course Maaret Malhonen, Pirjo Vaittinen and Esko Nikander take off their masks. It is time to ask what is really going on in the pupils’ heads instead of just demanding that they absorb more information.

I got a chance to see "Nocturna" (http://movies.filmax.com/nocturna/) This memorial day in the Seattle International Film Festival. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a Spanish (English Language) film created by Sergio Pablos's Animagic Films as well as a number of other artists and studios. I enjoyed it a lot. It's a slightly dark fairy tale about a world that comes alive at night. SIFF described it as "Monsters Inc. crossed with the work of Hayao Miyazaki" which I found to be a pretty accurate description. The visuals were gorgeous, and the story was clever and enchanting. If I have any complaint, it's that at times the animation dropped from beautifully smooth, in-betweened shots, to only key drawings on sixes or so. This is something I noticed on Curious George as well and I assume it must have something to do with budget. To an animator's eye it was a little distracting but occurred rarely and ultimately didn't detract too much. I hope that it will eventually get a decent DVD release, and if you get the chance to see it, I would highly recommend it.
Ok, I promise I'll post some work soon. LOTS of it.

On Saturday night Keryn and I along with Catherine and Paul attended a show at the Opera House in Wellington. Sir Ian McKellen was performing a one-man show with proceeds in aid of the restoration of the quake-damaged Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch. We had dinner nearby and arrived early enough to get to our seats near the front.
It wasn’t too long to wait before the lights went down and after a short burst of dramatic music from the Lord of the Rings movies we heard a voice from the darkness of the stage. Sir Ian was reciting a passage from the Fellowship of the Ring, specifically the encounter between Gandalf and the Balrog at the bridge Of Khazad Dum. And so the night began. Near the start Ian asked if anyone wanted to come on stage and have a play with the prop sword Glamdring that he had with him. He was looking for someone young, 10 or so, but when there were no appropriate volunteers he let someone somewhat older come up instead. The volunteer was invited to hold the sword and swish it around, Ian even suggested that she could attack him if she wanted though thankfully she declined. She also got to try on Ian’s copy of the One Ring that he was given while visiting Nelson recently, proof it was a copy given when she didn’t disappear once putting it on.
The first half of the show was then largely taken up with Ian answering questions posed by the audience, from reminiscing about meeting and acting with Ava Gardner while working on the movie Priest of Love to working with Ricky Gervais on his show Extras. We relived Ian’s encounter with Nelson Mandala, learned about Ian publicly coming out in response to a proposed British law change and many more things besides. The tales were funny, heart-warming and interesting and this part of the show ended in what seemed far to short a period of time.
After the interval, during which there were a few people wandering through the crowd hunting out signatures from actors and crew from the Hobbit movie still being filmed in Miramar, Ian was back on stage and the subject changed to Shakespeare. Marching about on stage Ian had an open clipboard in hand containing a complete list of Shakespeare’s plays and he invited the audience to try and name them all. As the names were shouted out Ian crossed them off, every now and again stopping to recite a favourite quote from a recently named play, reminiscing on his experiences playing parts, or letting us know his favourite characters.
As an encore Ian came on stage and explained about his efforts to help restore the Isaac Theatre Royal. With the help of ASB, Air New Zealand and the many theatres he visited on this tour all the money from ticket sales is going to the Theatre restoration project. As an extra effort Ian had a bucket to collect money and for a small sum he would have a photo taken with anyone, sign whatever people wanted or just have a short chat if that was requested. Ian then invited on stage the members of the Hobbit cast in attendance and they were all given buckets as well so they could also collect money.
As a final piece of theatre Ian then invited on-stage anyone who wanted to take part in a short bit of acting. I’m not normally someone who does this sort of thing but this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance so I headed up along with several dozen others. We mingled with the Hobbit cast, Martin Freeman expressing his general surprise at what was happening “We had no idea about this” (though with a grin on his face) and everyone then crowded in around Ian as he explained what would happen next. We were to be French soldiers on the battlefield and at the signalled time we were all to fall to the ground while Ian recited the names of the fallen. So we took our places and when indicated we all collapsed, playing dead for a few minutes while Ian lamented the fall of his colleagues such as “Moet, Chandon and Dom Perignon”. We were soon back on our feet and taking a bow to applause from the audience and then the show came to a close.
The Hobbit cast members were then arrayed around the theatre and lines quickly formed for people to give some money and collect some signatures and photos. Keryn and I (well, really I was dragging Keryn around) started by heading to Peter Jackson who happily signed our copy of the Hobbit. We then joined a line and met Martin Freeman (Bilbo), getting a signature from Stephen Hunter (Bombur, though most Kiwis will probably recognise him more for the Toyota flying fox television ad), then crossed the theatre to meet Billy Connolly (Dain Ironfoot, and he said he would be back in NZ next year for some shows) and then out into the foyer where we first bumped into Jed Brophy (Nori) before joining a line to finally meet Sir Ian (Gandalf). I grabbed a few photos along the way, such as Peter Jackson holding court on the stairs from the foyer to a line of eager fans. Everyone we met was very friendly and relaxed. There was a woman ahead of us in a few of the queues who was asking the actors for some odd requests such as getting Martin to hold up a sign she had something written on (a message for a friend) and then she very much confused Billy Connolly while getting him to recite a short message while she took a video (again for the same friend I’m guessing). While maybe a bit bemused at the turn of events the actors took it all in their stride and no doubt the sum of money taken for the Isaac Theatre Royal swelled accordingly.
So, a wonderful night of theatre that ended with lovely encounters with the cast of The Hobbit. I couldn’t really ask for more.


A special holiday treat this week as we have on the podcast Mr. Super Trooper himself, Jay Chandrasekhar. He joins us for his first ever golf interview. Who knew the Director & Actor of Super Troopers 1 & 2, Beerfest and Author of Mustache Shenanigans was such a diehard golf fanatic who recently played 680 out of 730 days! What a streak! The most amazing thing is he's still married, well done Jay! He's currently filming in Vancouver, which is why the streak is now over, but he's filming a new movie called Quasi. The movie is based on the character Quasimodo (aka The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and will be a modern day version of Monty Python, Knights of The Round Table, style comedy. So thank you Jay for making this movie, can't wait to see it in 2023! Jay also shares an update on the making of Super Troopers 3 as well as his thoughts on making a golf movie.

A missing scene was uncovered by a Channel
4 documentary on the film in 1998. The
scene showed the Coopers being chased
onto an ice-rink by the Police, and the
two pursuers and pursued then engage in
a surreal waltz to the "Blue Danube".
(Possibly satirizing Stanley Kubrick's
2001) before the Coopers race off again.
The scene was shot and cut together, but
was cut out of the chase because it dissipated
the tension of the chase.
escaping after waltzing with the
the filming of the chase sequence, the
crew shot a scene known as the 'Blue Danube'
in an exhibition hall in Turin, usually
used for the Turin Motor Show. The three
Coopers waltzed with three Alfa Romeo
Italian Police Cars on ice. The backdrop
and music was supplied by the Turin Symphony
Orchestra, who performed the 'Blue Danube'.
Troy Martin Kennedy was outraged when
he heard about the extra scene as he thought
it would slow down the fast pace of the
getaway chase. Producer Michael Deeley
agreed and the scene ended up on the cutting
floor, even though he and many of the
crew thought it worked out above and beyond
what they expected. 2nd Unit Director
Phillip Wrestler disagreed and thought
that it was a magical piece of filming
that slowed the pace down only to enhance
the rapid pace of the remaining of the
chase. Wrestler obviously convinced Deeley
to keep the scene in and the final cut
of The Italian Job actually included the
editor John Trumper and Michael Deeley
took this final cut to Rome to show the
Head of Production, Robert Evans. He ordered
that the controversial scene be cut stating
that it was pure directional indulgence!
There is no sound (1.1Mb)
Another scene that was never completed
was one where a Rolls Royce skids around
a gravel circle. Unfortunately on the
first take a clapper boy, David Wynn-Jones,
was hit by the Rolls when it skidded out
of control. Wynn-Jones was thought to
have simply broken legs, but it turned
out that he was in a worse state than
anyone thought. Eventually he had over
a dozen internal operations and took over
a year to recover. Many of the crew visited
him whilst he was in hospital including
Collinson and Caine. Following the accident,
which didn't involve any of Remy Julienne's
drivers, Remy was put in total charge
of all vehicle stunt work to ensure nothing
like this happened again.
Wynn-Jones made a full recovery and went
on to be a director in his own right.


The Seattle International Film Festival is getting a brand new film center, designed by the folks over at Owen Richards Architects (who are also designing the new Chihuly Exhibition at Seattle Center).
Video courtesy of Owen Richards Architects.
The project, which broke ground in early December, will provide SIFF with the space to further its mission “to create experiences that allow us to discover extraordinary films together.” The new center will include a library, a 100-seat muti-use screening room and lecture hall, and “flex spaces”—a multi-media classroom, exhibition spaces, archives, and offices for SIFF and the Film School.
As the largest international film festival in the country, the space will further solidify SIFF’s place at Seattle Center, where it will move from McCaw Hall to the 11,000-square-foot Alki Room-turned Film Center on the Center grounds. From Owen Richards Architects:
The project transforms an existing 1962 World’s Fair pavilion overlooking Seattle Center’s central fountain plaza and reflects the Center’s commitment to introducing new media arts programming at the heart of the campus. In addition to serving as a year-round media arts education space, the theater is designed to be utilized as a presentation venue for Seattle Center cultural festivals, and will serve as the focus for SIFF’s screen-writers’s salon and education outreach programs. Sustainable design features include energy efficiency upgrades, natural ventilation and daylighting, adaptive reuse of an aging facility, and reuse of historic Cinerama theater seating.

Serenity “Blue Sun” Travel Posters
Officially Licensed Poster Set
In 2006, Quantum Mechanix commissioned me to create a series of travel posters for Joss Whedon’s film, Serenity. I designed these as WPA-style travel posters for the planets and locations from the movie. They were a huge success, and remain one of Quantum Mechanix’s top sellers.
The highest praise came from Whedon himself, when he posted on the Whedonesque blog, calling the posters “extremely cool” and “masterfully designed.”

Relationship Retrospective: Brad Pitt
Updated: BST, 10 March I’m a great big firework pointed at the sky. Off stage I have the same hang-ups as any woman,’ says Juliette Lewis.

Brad Pitt: a timeline of the women the actor’s dated – from Sinitta to Angelina Jolie
Hollywood legend Brad Pitt has made ladies worldwide weak at the knees for over three decades now yes, he really is that old and has amassed quite a collection of notches on his bed post. In a romantic, flowers and chocolates kind of way, of course. Long before Brangelina, one of the most well-documented marriages in Hollywood, Pitt was seen as a bit of a heartbreaker. From pop sensation Sinitta through to the one that made us all cry Jennifer Aniston , check out our list of ladies who have been lucky enough to snuggle up to the Fight Club star.
Way back in the early days of his career, Brad dated So Macho pop singer Sinitta. The couple remained close for some time before going their separate ways.

The blonde hunk has been in the industry for over three decades and he has certainly become a Hollywood staple. Now, we thought it would be fun to take a look at just how much Brad Pitt has actually changed since Not to spoil anything, but the actor did switch up his look quite a few times.

An Iranian filmmaker said authorities raided the offices and homes of several filmmakers and other industry professionals and arrested some of them.
“Security forces made some arrests and confiscated film production equipment during raids conducted in recent days,” Mohammad Rasoulof announced in a statement signed by dozens of movie industry professionals on his Instagram account late Saturday.
The statement condemned the actions and called them “illegal.” In a separate Instagram post, Rasoulof identified two of the detained filmmakers as Firouzeh Khosravani and Mina Keshavarz.
Iranian media and authorities have not commented on the raids and no additional details were immediately available.
Rasoulof won the Berlin Film Festival’s top prize in 2020 for his film “There Is No Evil.” He is now banned from making films and leaving the country.
Shortly after receiving the award he was sentenced to a year in prison for three films he made that authorities found to be “propaganda against the system.”


What is the individual consciousness and how does it arise?
This long story is about Queen Leela and King Padma, with a twist on the ending. They lead an idyllic life, but as they age Leela fears he might die first, in which case her own life would be intolerable. So she does tapas to Goddess Saraswati and obtains the boon to have her husband’s spirit always with her. She and the goddess astral travel and time travel to see the couple’s prior life as simple brahmins, and the origin of her husband’s desire to possess the wealth of an empire. That desire manifests after King Padma dies and the queen and goddess see another reality in the deceased king’s mind. He is now King Viduratha ruling a vast empire with a second Leela as his wife, then battling his enemy King Sindhu. In the end, King Sindhu wins, King Viduratha is killed, King Padma is brought back to life in front of the two Leelas, and both Padma and the first Leela attain nirvana.

Red Scarf Girl
The story begins in 1966, right before Communist China’s Cultural Revolution. 13 year old Ji-Li Jiang has all a girl could want, welfare, good grades, popularity, and a bright future. The calamity begins when a member of the Liberation Army looks in Jiang’s town for future recruits. Jiang is nominated instantly, but her father refuses to let her run due to his own reasons. This greatly disheartens Jiang, but she gets over it quick enough. Then the Cultural Revolution begins, and the brainwashed populace begins to eliminate the “fourolds” (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits). This revolution pumps up nearly exactly the opposite of what Jiang has and is doing (example: teachers accused of teaching the children rightist ideas, so she’s commanded to write a protest letter.). Slowly but surely everything she loves and holds dear becomes destroyed or mutilated, her friend’s grandma committing suicide due to her husband refusing to lend his bike to the new “Red Guards”, her father being imprisoned for something he never did, and constant persecution due to her grandpa being a landlord. After her own grandma is sentenced to sweeping the alleys, Jiang is called upon to take care of her family.


Adam and I watched the last 4 episodes of Grey's Anatomy Season 2 last night! What a great show... I am so entralled with this show I can't stand it!
Tonight is the season premiere! So very excited!
PS... You would think I would learn not to watch a show where at least one person dies in a hospital every episode (bad flashbacks) but nooooo, I am apparently a glutton for punishment. Oh well, crying heals the soul, right?


They Call Me Trinity was the brainchild of Italian director Enzo Barboni, often known by his psudyenom E.B. Clucher. After a serious Western, Chuck Moll, which failed to be a success at the box office, Barboni began work on what he hoped would be a parody of the Spaghetti genre. Barboni for his part knew a thing or too about the Spaghetti, he had been the director of photography on Sergio Cobucci’s famous Western, Django.
As writer and director of the film Barboni certainly created the wonder that we see on screen, but the film could not have been a success were it not for the blue-eyed matinee idol who brought the character of Trinity to life.
By the time of Trinity Terence Hill (b. Mario Girotti) was a veteran of forty six films at the tender age of 31, including Luchino Visconti’s famous The Leopard, a successful Spaghetti trilogy including the films, God Forgives…I don’t, Ace High and Boot Hill and a remake/sequel of Django, known as, Django prepare a Coffin.
The other star of the film was Bud Spencer (b. Carlo Pedorlisi) a hulking former Olympic swimmer who at the time of filming resembled more of a wrestler. He and Hill had first teamed up in God Forgives…I don’t but it was Trinity that cemented their legendary status.
Hill and Spencer play brothers, Trinity and Bambino, who find themselves siding with a group of Mormon farmers who are attempting to start a community. Trinity acts out of a combination of goodness and his attraction for two Mormon girls, Sarah and Judith. Bambino, always the reluctant counterpart, wants to steal the Majors horses.
The way in which Trinity eliminated the violence of traditional Westerns was in some ways surprisingly simple, yet rather clever and original. The employment of a group of Mormons, who refuse to have guns at ‘their table’, cause Trinity (good naturally) and Bambino (reluctantly) to lay down their firearms, out of respect for their wishes, and employ their next best weapons-their fists. This saves the film from an overly violent tone, despite the fact that within the first 15 minutes five people are killed by the brothers (Trinity’s killings are albeit humorously impressive). As the brothers attempt to teach the Mormon’s to fight the results create one of the most memorable scenes in the film. The Mormon’s are of course being victimised by a pushy Major and his henchmen, and a somewhat psychotic Mexican bandit named Mescal. Mescal turns out to be no match for Bambino in the strength stakes however.
Trinity and Bambino are very much the ‘odd couple’ two brothers whose personalities are as different as their appearance. Bambino, the oldest, despite his name, is surly, brutally strong, impatient, and with more criminal intent than his younger brother. In appearance he is huge, with a thick dark beard, and squinty eyes, grunting and hitting people on the head are his main forms of communication. In comparison Trinity is handsome, thin, and fair. Whilst he is lazy and filthy, he posses a heart of gold, and a sense of justice that is often at odds with his older brother. Trinity also has almost magical abilities with his skills at drawing his gun, generally employed whilst slapping people across the face. Trinity is constantly befriending the underdog, first the helpless Mexican accused of killing a man who tried to seduce his wife, then the Mormons (particularly the beautiful Sarah and Judith). This is a trend, which continues into the films sequel, Trinity is Still my Name, in which he befriends a helpless family of settlers and then a group of Catholic priests. Bambino is less than impressed with his brother’s kindness towards these hapless victims.
They Call Me Trinity was a huge success at the European box office, it outgrossed Sergio Leone's 'Dollars Trilogy' and cemented Hill and Spencer as international stars. An even more successful sequel, Trinity is Still My Name was released a year later.
(They Call Me Trinity is my favourite film of all time, and consequently, I could go on and on about it!)


This week we are learning about the history of entertainment
When I was in primary school, my dad told me I had to watch the Charlie Chaplin film 'The Kid'. The film was in black and white and didn't have any talking - I absolutely did not want to watch it! I reluctantly sat there, just to stop him moaning at me, and ended up watching the most incredible film! Since that day, back in 1990 something , 'The Kid' has become one of my all time favourite films...ever!
This week, I'd like you to watch 'The Kid' and to let me know what you think of it. Why not have a go at filming your own silent movie or create a storyboard of your own ideas.
For our entertainment themed week have a go at the following:

One of the best moments of my childhood.
ZERO HAD ZERO FUCKS
I can’t even tell you how excited I was that they turned this book into a movie and it was good
I literally have absolutely no complaints with the movie at all. Once, my friend and I did comparisons from the book and the movie, and we found the only major difference was the fact that Stanley wasn’t heavy set when he arrived at the camp in the movie. The majority of the script is raw quotations from the book.
This is my favorite book to movie adaptation and it did everything Percy Jackson, Inkheart, and The Golden Compass didn’t.
yesss this was such a good book and film
And the only reason Stanely wasn’t heavy set was because in the book he loses tons of weight and eventually ends up being almost thin. The director said he didn’t want to force an adolescent boy to lose weight on such a quick filming schedule, and L’bouf’s audition was so spot on, that they decided to go with a thinner Stanely from the beginning


I just watched an episode of the show "Parenthood" on NBC.
To be honest, I have been watching it since season one and every single episode brings tears to my eyes.
It's very rare to come across a good show, especially now days. But that's a total different subject :)
Parenthood is a show about the Braverman family. 4 Siblings that have kids of their own and how they handle life with family, kids, and their parents.
I would say my favorite family is Christina and Adam.
They have a 16 year old daughter Haddie, and a 8 year old? son Max. Hattie wants to date an older guy and Max has asperger syndrome. (often considered a high functioning form of autism)
Every time I watch the show, it really hits me what it's like to be a parent of an older child.
At 16, I was no angel. I wasn't a rebel, but definitely not an angel. Looking back, how I used to be, makes me feel so bad for my parents. Now watching this show, what the parents are going through make me think. I really need to gear up with patience, and wisdom for when they become teens.
I enjoy this show, but a lot of times, the script doesn't come in alignment with my beliefs.
I think it's very important to filter EVERYTHING we see. Take in the good, and cast away the bad.
For example, the character Christina inspires me. She is so supportive of her husband!
I could definitely learn from that.
I don't have a child with learning disabilities, but I have a brother who does. I can relate to the family somewhat.
Overall, I enjoy watching the show. The happy and sad moments families go through are very realistic. I think that Ron Howard and his team did an amazing job with the script.
I especially like the intro song :) You tube doesn't have it. ;O I cannot believe it. So you have to start watching an episode to hear it :) The words are sooo beautiful!
Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with my love for this show. lol
Do you have a favorite show?


The Case of the No Good Low-Down Creep (a LoFi Film Noir Classic)
2021This entire 10 music video album including 10 video episodes is now available exclusively on Bandcamp at https://starburstrecords.bandcamp.com/
Penny Towers & Frank Farbehind from Vermont & Jay Carney of Starburst Records had a dream to create a modern, updated homage to classic Film Noir movies from back in the the 1940-1950's like The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, Sunset Blvd, etc. Stimulated by a LoFi track called "Cruisin" by Gregofi, a LoFi artist subsidiary of Greg Johnson of California that we felt epitomized the LoFi genre, we set out to write a script and begin to produce a series of songs. This led us to simultaneously create a series of videos. The supremely talented actress/singer Penny Towers plays all three main characters in this drama: Tony, Sr. the Gumshoe PI, Ingrid, the damsel in distress and Bates, the no good low-down creep! we also recruited Jean Paul Zoghbi of Lebanon for use of his magnificent track "Hitchcockian Thriller" for use in The Chase Episode as well as Vinni Hamilton Productions of Miami, Florida who granted permission to use his track "Triumphant" for Episode 9 Crushing Nasty Crook, the successful climactic crescendo of the whole series! When you purchase this album, you also receive a private link to view all 10 video episodes of this homage to Film Noir! We hope you have as much fun watching the series as we had putting it together!

The Verdikt’s Top Five – Christian Bale
Here at TR, we decided to create a hit list of our top five movies for our favorite actors/directors – if you’re a fan too, tell us your opinions in the comments!
Today, we’ll talk about five of our favourite movies from Christian Bale, who I believe is one of the most interesting and versatile actors today.[divider]
A magnificient and complex story from the renowned director Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale proves his worth in showing how magic and illusion can ultimately be misused and can cause harm rather than any good. Along with Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale tries to use his obsession of magic to bring down his partner, and so begins the cat-and-mouse game until one succeeds and one fails.
Playing one of the most maniacal yet absurdly funny characters, Bale really does know how to bring the killer effect out of his character. His quirky selfnarration proves his character’s state-of-mind and pretty much justifies all the gore and the bloodbath he creates throughout the entire movie. As much as he proves himself to be a perfect embodiment of Hercules, his inner state of mind crumbles, but he tries to ensure that he never exposes that to the people he encounters. With such a scary yet straight-face, Bale proves to be one of the most amazing actors in our lifetime.[divider]
An inspirational story about two brothers; one who is a retired legend and the other an up-and-coming boxer, Bale proves his worth in this rare boxing movie which focuses more on the emotional aspects and conflicts between the two characters. Bale shows his true aggressive raw boxing nature not just by the way he acts, but by his physique, which just shows the 110% Bale puts in his characters.
Many people have argued that the original Batman (played by Michael Keaton) was much better. However, with a new concept, Christopher Nolan couldn’t have picked a more convincing actor than Christian Bale. With a dark and gloomy atmosphere, Bale has effectively proven that he is the true ultimate Dark Knight as well as being the elusive, yet charmingly mysterious Bruce Wayne with a horrifying past. Again, Bale shows his commitment to his characters as he built a lot of muscle mass after one of his most shocking roles in the Machinist (see below.) Bale has also played Batman in The Dark Knight (2008) and will play the character one last time in The Dark Knight Rises (2012).[divider]
If you’ve not seen this movie, you’ll be up for a surprise. Christian Bale reported that he dropped to a mere 110 pounds for his role, losing all his muscle gains just to portray the depressing, anorexic Trevor. Bale has been known to go to various extremes to show that he really is one of the most versatile actors. This movie is definitely not for the faint-hearted; in fact, it has a lot of plot twists that will surprise you and keep you watching until the end. With such a mesmerizing performance, Bale keeps a disturbing yet impactful image into the viewer’s mind on his character’s state of mind. If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers, you must see this![divider]
If you feel like you need top five reviews of your favourite actors/directors, post down in the comments below and I’ll see what I can come up with!

The Cincinnati Kid – Film Analysis
24 Tuesday Jan 2012
You need to remember two things if you ever decide to watch The Cincinnati Kid. First, it is a movie set in an era where Stud Poker was king and as such will look very alien to those that picked up the game of poker in the last few years. Next, the purpose of this movie was drama, and not realism when it comes to the game play. However, when it comes to the actual main gamblers, the characters are timeless.
Steve McQueen plays “The Kid”, a fantastic young gambler who is renown for being one of the best players in the world. To go with it, he has the devil may care attitude that often accompanies youth and as such, he thinks he can take on the world. In the poker world of that era, the best in the world is named Robinson, also known as “The Man.” The Man is the best in the world, but he is aging, and as many of us know that age can cause the mental faculties to deteriorate. The Kid thinks he can take him and tries to do so.
While The Kid may come off as brash and a showboat, he is not without honor. This is put to the test when Tom, a player that is seeking revenge on The Man, tries to help the kid by cheating. The Kid does the honorable thing and gets an honest dealer into the game so he can find out if he is good enough to beat the man.
As the big game progresses, The Kid looks to be in control. The final hand goes down between the two and in the final hand, The Kid has aces and tens showing against a the queen, ten, nine, eight of diamonds. The Kid puts all of his money at risk and The Man raises. Nobody believes The Man has it, and neither does The Kid, who calls the raise even though it will put him $5,000 in debt.
The Man shows the jack of diamonds for the straight flush and after being asked about continuing on a three flush when the kid had a pair showing, the line given is one that is very applicable to poker in, “That’s what it is all about. You make a bad play at the right time.” The Kid shows an ace in the hole for aces-full, and shows that The Man is both lucky and good. The Kid then leaves realizing that he is second best, a cruel fate dealt to him by lady luck. The Man goes on to celebrate his new found winnings, once again proving his dominance.
While the odds of someone having a straight flush against aces full in the same hand are astronomical, the final hand is a bit like life. Sometimes, no matter how good you are, someone is out there that is better. At the same time, it is not always about how good you are, sometimes it is about how fortunate one can become.
The Cincinnati Kid can be viewed as a story about many things. It could be a story of youth vs. experience, a story of the school of hard knocks, or even a lesson on humility. However, in the end the movie could be best summarized by saying that “sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.”
“From films classics like “Patton” to modern flicks like “The Dark Knight”, you can be sure that Andrew has watched them. Though he works for PokerJunkie.com during the day, Andrew is a TV fanatic by night who spends most of his time enjoying TV shows like Psych and Mythbusters.”

‘Ghostbusters’ Star And Comic Legend Harold Ramis Dies At 69
When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, there’s now one less person to call, as comedy legend Harold Ramis, best known for his role in the hit “Ghostbusters” films, has died. He was 69.
A Comic Personality
Ramis, whose impressible comic personality shone through in the variety of his works, passed away Monday, February 24, from complications of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, a rare disease that involves swelling of the blood vessels, according to his wife Erica Mann.
“His creativity, compassion, intelligence, humor and spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him,” Ramis’s agent said in a written statement.
Beloved Actor and Director
Ramis’s big break in Hollywood came in 1978 when he co-wrote the blockbuster comedy “National Lampoon’s Animal House.” He went on to co-write “Stripes” (1981), “Ghostbusters” (1984) and “Ghostbusters II” (1989), films in which he also co-starred.
He co-wrote and made his directorial debut with “Caddyshack” (1980), followed by “National Lampoon’s Vacation” (1983). His most recent works include directing episodes of “The Office.”
“Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my brilliant, gifted, funny friend, co-writer/performer and teacher Harold Ramis,” his “Ghostbusters” co-star Dan Aykroyd wrote on Facebook. “May he now get the answers he was always seeking.”
“He earned his keep on this planet. God bless him,” said Bill Murray in a statement.
