Kung Fu Panda, Number One Super Guy
When I saw the trailer for Kung Fu Panda in the theater, I rolled my eyes. I turned to my sister next to me (She's 11) and said it looked like crap. She agreed wholeheartedly. In fact, it becamse a running gag between us over the next couple of months, ie, "Kung Fu Panda, MOVIE OF THE YEAR!" every time we saw a mention of it. And then it came out, and people started to go crazy over it. So we went and ate our words.
This is a good movie. The humor doesn't have any soon-to-be-dated pop culture references that I caught, there's some good elements to the story (A villain with a REASON for his ambitions?!), and a surprisingly authentic Asian look to the whole thing. The action sequences make the movie. The most stunning scene to me involves a prison escape, and all I'll say about the craziest shot is that it involves lots and lots of arrows. There are also some neat looking 2D sequences at the beginning and end, the former of which is super-stylized and could hold a movie on its own.
I'd actually recommend this not just to cartoon fans and kids but fans of martial arts films, because they got the Crouching Tiger-style fighting down pat. The only real bad news about the film's success is that Stephen Katzenberg is hoping to make not one, or two, but FIVE sequels. I smell some crap headed our way if they try to rush these out.

For me this movie is masterpiece fantastic
anthony hopkins is really incredible
it gave me shiver
10 on 10
A movie that annoyingly asks how you'ld scream if you were burned to death in a fire..
Well, I'ld be yelling my head off in excruciating agony running to plunge my entire body in the kitchen ice box. I certainly wouldn't be wining in a weak annoying high pitched tiny scream and flailing my hands against the window while running around the house which is what you'll be subjected to from a little girl reliving this experience through the reincarnated soul of another child occupying the same body who was years before burned to death in a fire from a automobile accident.
This little girl's reacting this way throughout the entire movie is the hole in the logic of the movie's entire premise though it is a very interesting concept for a movie plot. It just needed more emphasis either through acting performance and/or special effects to make it land right.
I finally watched this movie from start to finish a day ago after always catching this movie in the middle in reruns and kept hitting the remote because I just couldn't sit through this irritating screaming girl I at first thought was just being possessed by an evil spirit as some Exorcist movie wanna' be.
I actually misjudged this movie based on not knowing what this screaming girl's problem was. I felt all the adult actors did a very good job in making me suspend disbelief in a movie plot that effectively demonstrates how reincarnation could be shown and manifested in a human.
I mean most claims of reincarnation I've heard or read about don't provide any proof. This movie cleverly and compellingly shows it in a well written plot with convincing dialog and realistically gut wrenching emotion from the actors. Lot's of tears are called up by the actors in this one. There's not a lot of movies that approach this subject in this way with this level of seriousness and commitment by the actors and story line at the same time have it be a thoroughly entertaining experience which was the case with me.
I just couldn't get passed the little girl's thin sounding screaming from reliving being burned alive over and over.

A mildly decent film with several fatal ideas
Noticing a stranger hanging around them, a girls' parents begin to feel uneasy after he claims that his young daughter has been reincarnated into their daughter yet when a series of strange accidents begin plaguing the family they realize the deadly truth too late to stop them.
This one didn't have that many positives. One of the biggest is the sense of realism attached to the whole affair in that there's a real sense of this outlandish concept actually happening. These are played out mostly as panic attacks which become much more dangerous as they go on, letting them have a sense of being built up effectively. This makes them seem like an action to be feared as what's going to happen to top the last one remains a big aspect of the film overall. The majority of these are based on the idea of reliving the car crash that killed off her older self or throwing the furniture around the room which adds a special bit of action with the final one being long and really agonizing while even the actions to soothe her are quite thrilling and take on a sort of uneasy feeling. The film's highlight is the action carried out in the playground where there's real suspense as the rush to stop it from happening and the genuinely disturbing act itself make for a great scene. It works beautifully and really manages to get the film's sole creep-out moment. The only other fun part is the central idea of possession here is uniquely carried out, coming from a really creative viewpoint and offering up something that feels new and fresh. Otherwise, this one wasn't all that terrific since this one does have some pretty big problems. One of the biggest problems is that there's really very little in here that is actually scary. While the constant freak-outs and erratic behavior might be unsettling for some, most of the time all it seems like is just a repetition of the same thing over and over again. After a while, it just produces a feeling of what room will it start in now which doesn't inspire any frights. That's not an entirely scary activity, and to have that become the sole purpose of the creepy behavior isn't that grand a concept since it simply feels like it's been seen before. This is also compounded by the relative lack of fear generated by the event. There's nothing in here that should make the viewer afraid of the act sense all it boils down to a young girl throwing screaming fits every now and then. Had the possession brought on more frightening acts or the fear of what the possessed girl would do under the influence of the victim would've been far more frightening. That is the film's biggest flaw, as well as not providing anything resembling an explanation for the events. That would've been a really rewarding aspect, had it ever been given why this was occurring. The last big problem is that it really feels drawn-out and could've been shortened quite easily with too many scenes that go on and have no real bearing on the film. These are the film's biggest flaws and keep the film from really making its mark.
Rated PG: Language and Mild Violence.

Sleepover is a linear narrative about two sisters and the struggle of finding your happy place in the era of teenage angst. When a pipe bursts in the older sister’s bedroom, she is forced to sleep in her little sister’s room. We experience the story from the perspective of the older sister, which focuses on the escalation of her exhaustion. She is a teen who does not like her toddler sister, she is very angry about having to sleep in her sister’s room and her sister does not seem to care at all.
There is no dialogue in this animation and the story takes place over the course of three nights. Each night proves more difficult for the older sister as she becomes more weary and frustrated. The trope of “the monster under the bed” comes into play on the second night, but all we see are tiny visual cues of a monster. (Tentacles hanging over the bunk, slithering/ scraping sounds and monster slime). The morning after the third night, our poor severely sleep-deprived teenager wakes up to silence. When she peeks at the top bunk, all she finds are her sister’s skeleton, and monster slime. With that knowledge, she crawls right back into bed and has the best sleep of her life.

GOOD TIMES ON SET
We had a BLAST during the making of NEXGEN’s company overview video. NEXGEN came to us wanting to produce an “about us” video, mostly with talking heads and some screen capture to showcase their software.
We pitch them a concept slightly different thank talking heads and after reading the script they said “this is crazy… but we’re down!”
Check out the behind the scenes and catch the video here.


No matter what kind of business you’re involved with, a video production company can do wonders for increasing your exposure among your intended audience. The largest corporations across the globe invest heavily in video production to create commercials and online videos that are seen by millions.
Even celebrities and film stars are aware of the need to hire outside videography services in order to improve their public profile. When you see a renowned filmmaker like Peter Jackson using an outside video
production company to film material, you know that this service is highly valued by many who are veterans of the industry.
Just take a quick look at the videos included with this report published by IGN.com, an online publication covering video games. For his latest movie, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” Jackson hired an outside company to produce a series of video diaries about the process of filming the second movie in the Hobbit trilogy.
The video shows off many interesting aspects behind the scenes of Jackson’s film. Fans of the Middle Earth world built by this filmmaker love to get a glimpse at combatants fighting each other in digital motion suits against a green screen. These scenes get a lot of extra computer imaging effects in order to create the orcs, elves and dwarves populating this film.
Fans also get a chance to connect with the human side of the actors portraying Tolkien’s famed characters. One scene shows Martin Freeman, the actor playing Bilbo Baggins, playing Ping-Pong behind the scenes with one of the dwarf actors, both in full costume. According to Freeman, he had won each of the 20 matches he played on set.
Far from being frivolous or excessive, these videos are crucial for solidifying the popular appeal for any product. Think about a car commercial and the sleek vehicles moving through obstacles or speeding around an open track. You can read about horsepower and gas mileage in an advertisement, but seeing the car in action goes a long in closing the sale.
Businesses in the area of St. Catherines, Ontario, and beyond can benefit from the video production services offered by Omni Video Productions. Give us a call soon to schedule our videography services for your next product launch or marketing campaign.

David Harbour confirms suspicions over the Black Widow ending
David Harbour has opened up about the – and he's confirmed a common suspicion about the final act. Harbour played in the movie, and he will be reprising his role for the upcoming Thunderbolts movie, arriving later in . "We were, I think, going to go, and then I think they did want the opportunity to change some stuff," the actor told the (before the ) of Thunderbolts. "The interesting thing about Marvel, that's so great about them, is they do rework stuff. Even big productions. Like Black Widow, the entire third act was reworked as we were shooting, which is incredible. And so, they just want that freedom." The third act of Black Widow sees a massive, CGI-heavy sequence where Natasha Romanoff must escape a base that's falling through the sky. The rest of the film was a fairly grounded thriller, so the sudden fantastical action came as a bit of a surprise. There was also the odd choice to cut to black when Natasha was about to face down General Ross, too. Harbour talked to our sister publication about Thunderbolts last year. "I really like him," , "and I love Florence [Pugh] as Yelena [also in Thunderbolts]. And then you throw in Wyatt [Russell, as ] from and Sebastian [Stan, reprising Bucky Barnes]. You have all these great, colorful characters. I'm really excited for that movie." Amid the , though, .

Brookdale Haunted Theater – Full Review
Brookdale Haunted Theater is a Haunted Attraction located in Lincroft, NJ.
765 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, NJ 07738View All Details
Free Parking, Handicap Accessible, Food/Concessions, You will NOT be touched, Original Characters, Indoor Waiting Line, All-Indoor Attraction
Team Scare Response Unit reviewed this attraction on October 15, 2017.
Final Score: 9.18
Haunted Theater is a haunted house produced by Brookdale Community College’s Performing Arts Center on the Lincroft New Jersey campus. Theater students, alumni and professionals team up to transform their entire performing arts building into a haunted house. With more then 80+ actors and volunteers this haunt was a total surprise. Celebrating their 15th year in 2017, Haunted Theater has a new theme yearly and scares around every corner. During our team’s recent visit, we were blown away with the amount of work and success this haunt has. The entire haunt (including queue line) is completely indoors and only $12 to get in for a 20 minute walk through! Our entire team was scared at least once at this haunt with their unique scares and decorated sets. If you are looking for a good time and to be scared, this is your place!
Haunted Theater is made up entirely of volunteer actors. According to creators, the cast starts training at the beginning of September to prepare their actors for their characters. With cast members around every twist and turn throughout the 20 minute maze, scares consistently come at you from every angle. The pure intensity and overwhelming nature of the characters in this haunt is outstanding!
All members of the Haunted Theater cast are in full appropriate costumes including shoes and makeup. Depending on where you are in the maze, the costumes match the different themes throughout. One of the most impressive parts of this haunt is their use of Special FX makeup. According to the creators, Haunted Theater has a team of four makeup artists that work tirelessly to get all the actors into the haunt on time in full makeup. Some of our favorite makeups include one of the queue line Actors Phillip (a nightmare hunter), NeMara (a witch that is casting nightmares on a village), and Margo (a plague victim). The makeup and costumes for these characters were extremely well done and the attention to detail was appreciated.
Customer Service: 9
After 15 years of haunted houses, Haunted Theater runs like clockwork. The Performing Arts Center of Brookdale College is a bit hard to navigate in nature, but the haunt has put up signs all over campus and even put a row of blow up Halloween decorations outside to lead to their haunt. Haunted Theater is an all indoor haunt with indoor seated waiting. They offer queue line entertaining in the form of actors (who are a great time) but also videos and trivia playing on a projection to keep the audience busy. Also, every 30-40 minutes the theater features a group of dancing zombies that perform two different songs onstage. The theater has restrooms available and also light concessions on property.
Haunted Theater has done their best to transform the Performing Arts Building into a haunted house, but the outside still looks like a theater. Besides blow up decorations, Halloween flags, and signs it is hard to tell that it is a haunted house. There is no music playing outside or any characters. Once inside the lobby, the theater does a good job setting the tone for the haunt.
Special Effects: 9.44
Without giving too much away, Haunted Theater has really pulled out some exciting effects this year! From a post-apocalyptic bunker that is about to lose power to a full swamp laser tunnel, this haunt had us guessing what came next? Throughout the haunt lights are flashing, pneumatics are going off and fog was in the air just adding to the ‘WOW.’ We will admit that the lighting and the special effects got some jumps out of our team collectively.
Haunted Theater changes its theme yearly with this year’s theme being Never-ending Nightmares. From the moment we sat in the theater to wait, we immediately knew what the theme was. With queue line characters such as a creepy tooth fairy and a nightmare hunter, Haunted Theater uses characters to help define their theme. This year’s theme takes audience members through a myriad of different definitions of what a nightmare is including clowns, spiders, end of the world, a dentist’s office and a room filled with chewed bubblegum.
Fright Effect: 9.04
This haunt got our team continuously from start to finish. With overwhelming effects and characters scaring with all sorts of different techniques, this place keeps you guessing. We seriously enjoyed ourselves at this haunt and all walked out laughing at each other. One of our favorite parts of this haunt was the continuous use of distractions and multiple scares that kept us on our toes.
The value of this haunt is outrageous! For only $12 General Admission with a special price for kids under 17 ($8), you get a 20-25 minute walk through, a dance show and some queue line entertainment. This haunt is cheaper than any haunt in the area that are almost double the price. Also the haunt is entirely indoors and is open in inclement weather. For a great time and some great scares check this Haunted Theater out at an affordable price!

Co-presented by the Turkish Canadian Society and SFU Woodward’s, the Vancouver Turkish Film Festival (VTFF) was founded in 2011 by film industry professionals seeking to showcase exemplary Turkish cinema to Vancouver audiences.
As Stambol team, we had the great privilege of sponsoring the festival and developing VTFF’s Augmented Reality App for the first time to bring festival posters, brochures and magazine ads to life. The app represented a leap forward in how the independent film community in Vancouver engages potential audiences in a completely novel and immersive way.
VTFF aims not only to promote Turkish Cinema by bringing highly acclaimed, award-winning Turkish films, but also to encourage dialogue and cross-cultural understanding among local communities.

Mina retains her intelligence and sensibility in this version, though now with a more acerbic and apathetic slant.Follow @MrsMinaHarker
Due to rampant Victorian sexism, the men don’t tell Mina much of what’s going on and the result is that she is unprepared for a series of nighttime attacks by Dracula. Thinking they are just bad dreams, she doesn’t become aware of the vampire’s predations until the Van Helsing and co. storm into her room one night to find Dracula force-feeding her his blood. As Van Helsing explains, this infects her with his curse, so that if she dies, she becomes a vampire too. The only cure is to kill Dracula first.
In our continuation of the story, Mina’s curse is not lifted and she remains infected with what Dr. Seward theorizes is a virus.


This is the first full monograph on the widely acclaimed South Korean director Lee Chang-dong (born 1954), whose 2018 film Burning was the first Korean production shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.
With his six features made since taking up filmmaking at the age of 43 (after working as a novelist), Lee has distinguished himself as an uncompromising auteur through his tightly wrought narratives that depict human suffering taken to its limits.
His films tend to follow conventional genre structures, including thriller and melodrama, but are consistently surprising in both their emotional subtlety and their characters’ confrontations with Korean history and politics.
The latest in a monograph series from Dis Voir, the book was designed by Lee himself, who selected and arranged all the images, and includes an interview with the director along with several scholarly essays on his work.

After finding out about the involvement of Angels in the Earth Defense Force's plan to invade the Netherworld, Flonne decides to return to Celestia to confront Seraph Lamington about this. To her surprise, Laharl, Etna, Captain Gordon, Jennifer and Thursday agree to come along as well.
When they enter Celestia, the group are surprised to find none other than Mid-Boss waiting for them. Instead of his usual hijinks, Mid-Boss acts seriously and challenges them to one more battle, and disappears upon his defeat.
Laharl and his friends continue their journey through Celestia, defeating the Angels that confront them. Before long, however, they are greeted by a number of high level demons hired by Vulcanus. Just as their fate seems bleak, Kurtis appears in the form of a Prinny, and helps them defeat the demons.
Along with Kurtis, the group enters the Seraphic Sanctuary, where Seraph Lamingtom resides. Using the combined power of their attacks, they succeed in breaking through the invincible barrier and enter the Sanctuary. Before they can meet Lamington, however, they run into Vulcanus who wishes to defeat them once and for all. The team manages to prevail and Vulcanus flees before them, hoping to decieve Seraph Lamington. Luckily, the Seraph sees through his deceptions and transforms Vulcanus into a helpless flower. He then does the same to Flonne as a punishment, when she confesses her deeds to him. Stricken by grief and anger, Laharl attacks Lamington, defeating him.

I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and started taking acting classes at a very young age. When I was six, my teacher informed me that I would never play "Cinderella", but that I would be perfect for the meaty character role of "Caterpillar". My early years were spent performing in musicals, including playing "Molly" and "Tessie" in two productions of Annie, "Brigitta" in The Sound of Music, and a "Snow Child" in Carousel. History has a way of repeating itself. My first show was South Pacific when I was seven, and I have performed in the show three times - first as one of the children, then as a nurse, and most recently as "Bloody Mary".
Over the years, I have developed a love for performing in new plays and have appeared in the new works festival, FutureFest, for fifteen years. After obtaining a BFA in Acting from Wright State University, I lived in New York for over four years, where I performed with companies including Ensemble Studio Theatre, Wings Theatre, and Urban Stages. For over two years, I lived in Chicago and performed with Chicago Dramatists, American Blues Theater, Broken Nose Theatre, and Griffin Theatre (Tour). In addition to appearing in premieres of plays in New York and Chicago, I have had the opportunity to perform in the Midwest premiere of The Kite Runner at Actors Theatre of Louisville and Cleveland Play House, the world premiere of Family Shots with The Human Race Theatre Company, and the regional premiere of The K of D with Magnolia Theatre Company.


On Thursday, Oct. 18, Charlotte Battin will be here to present her nationally acclaimed one-woman drama about the Underground Railroad entitled “Freedom Is My Home.” This is a 45-minute drama about slavery and friendship, cruelty and kindness, prejudice and courage. The event will begin at 7 p.m.
This drama is suitable both for children as well as adults. We hope Henry County teachers will encourage their students to attend. For more information, call the museum at 765-529-4028 or Darrel Radford at 765-524-0530.


The Motion Picture Industry Benevolent Society (MPIBS) is the film industry’s very own charity, helping colleagues who work or have worked in film production, cinema exhibition and distribution.
Here are a couple of stories from people the MPIBS has helped.
Freelancer, Costume/Art Department
“After working in the film industry for over 20 years in both costume and art departments, I developed breast cancer, followed by severe arthritis in my hands that required several lots of surgery and made constant sewing difficult.
I had to stop working, and consequently had difficulty making ends meet. I was unaware of MPIBS until someone passed on my name. I was contacted, reviewed and given a monthly relief payment to help with living expenses. This has enabled me to maintain a modest lifestyle, that would otherwise be very difficult. I’m immensely grateful for this generous support.”
“As a senior who doesn’t qualify yet for the old age pension, MPIBS support is allowing me to regroup. My financial difficulties arose because of serious health problems and the need to pay for expensive medications. While I’m not yet out of the woods, I am eternally grateful to the MPIBS for its assistance.”

My wife is a big Star Trek fan, so she's been catching me up on the Voyager series. I honestly haven't followed Star Trek since The Next Generation, so this was kind of an experiment. I must say that I've been enjoying it so far (we just finished season 2). Capt. Janeway does a great job being strong and the rest of the crew is interesting enough. I think so far my favourite character is the Dr. He's sarcastic yet pleasant at the same time, somehow. The most annoying character is Tuvoc. I've nicked him "Tuvoc Shakur." The way he says "sensors" overturns mountains. Chakote is a cool character, but I can't help but call him "chipolte." Yes, like the sauce.


The term ‘Film Noir’ was first introduced in the 1940’s after the second world war. However the style emerged during the world war as German emigrants brought German expressionism to cinema.
The characteristics of film noir are very distinctive. Bright direct light is used to create deep and dark shadows which creates the black and white look on screen. The use of veneer blinds in the mise-en-scene creates a sliced light effect which is common in film noir films. There is use of canted angles, low angles and asymmetrical compositions. One key feature is ‘femme fatale’ which is when the female loves you as well as kills you. This female is usually seductive, promiscuous and dangerous to the man who eventually falls for her. The location is usually in an urban setting with scenes taking place in dark alleys or apartment buildings etc. The characters are always smoking cigarettes. The female costume includes low necklines, red dresses, red lipstick, mascara, high heels, floppy hats and elbow length gloves. Whilst men wear fedoras, suits with ties and long trench coats.
Some top rated films include:
Double Indemnity: a 1944 film directed by Billy Wilder
“An insurance representative lets himself be talked into a murder/insurance fraud scheme that arouses an insurance investigator’s suspicions.”
The Big Sleep: a 1946 film directed by Howard Hawkes
“Private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by a rich family. Before the complex case is over, he’s seen murder, blackmail, and what might be love.”
Out Of The Past: a 1947 film directed by Jacques Tourneur
“A private eye escapes his past to run a gas station in a small town, but his past catches up with him. Now he must return to the big city world of danger, corruption, double crosses and duplicitous dames.”
- Robert Siodmak 1930-1969
- Fritz Lang 1919-1960
- Otto Preminger 1931-1986
- Billy Wilder 1934-1981
- John Alton
- Nicholas Musuraca
- Burnett Guffy
- John F. Seitz
- Robert Krasker
- Ernest Laszlo
Modern Day Film Noir
Also know as ‘neo noir’
Is where modern films use elements of film noir films. One example is ‘Drive’ (2011) directed by Nicholas Winding Relf. Another example is Fight Club (1999) directed by David Fincher. These films use the cinematic features on previous film noir films. For example the use of shadows and light is prominent throughout as well as the similarities in location.
Is It a Genre?
Film Noir is more of a style than a genre as the genre is usually crime thriller. Also the style of lighting can be applied to any film. In terms of narrative, that would also be a style. Also the term was applied to the films after the films started to have similar visuals applied to them.


So a fan crafted a CGI animated fan film for Warhammer 40,000 called The Lord Inquisitor.
I'll just say this. After Ultramarines The Movie, I was skeptical that a movie would ever be made that had the epic grand gothic flavor of 40K. Ultramarines was OK. It wasn't as great as I'd hoped, but it didn't suck. It did well enough in all facets to be enjoyable, but didn't stand out enough to lend itself to the greatness I'm sure most 40K fans hoped for. This guy has animated a movie that looks better than Ultramarines, the scope is much larger, it features vehicles so less walking (badly animated walking at that), this LOOKS like the movie was hoping for when Ultramarines was announced. Other than being nowhere near Ultramarines in voice acting (Codex had a great cast put together) this movie looks like pure win to me.

Hunger Games the Movie – Should Families Pass?
I recently went with my family to see the movie The Hunger Games. For a movie with so much hype and success at the box office, I was disappointed to say the least.
My oldest has read all the books, and my youngest is underway. They are currently 12 and 10. I like that they are avid readers, enjoy adventure, and get into a good book. I often ask them about the books they read, query them for what they are observing, and see if there isn’t an opportunity to look at things from a different angle. I did this a bit with the Hunger Games series of books. As I imagine many would be, I was a little disturbed with the idea of children killing children… in a children’s book.
My wife and I were glad we were there with our kids at the movie (wouldn’t have done it otherwise). However, I found myself wanting to cover my eyes at various points throughout the movie. There is something about seeing a child die that is disturbing, seeing children kill other children is more disturbing still.
On the heels of a high school shooting in our Ohio home town leaving 3 dead, and a town asking why, movies like this don’t help (more here).
Review of Hunger Games Movie – Violence with Children
Due to the violence and killing of children on children I regret going to the movie, and don’t recommend it as family friendly whatsoever. In my view I found it to be all of the PG-13 for violence.
The Hunger Games is a cultural phenomenon, it may be that few will heed the advice or seriously consider position presented here. Many will disagree. Our culture thrives and rewards trends, and likely this will be no different. For my wife and I, we are sorry we went.
Hunger Games Movie – What to Expect
As for the movie itself, for someone who has read all the books, they will be able to pickup things from the very beginning, for the rest of us, not so much. It would seem appropriate that the scriptwriters would have included some context at the very beginning to clue those unfamiliar with the fictional world this exists in…12 districts, rebellion, etc. (detailed breakdown here). Fortunately, my son helped clarify some things prior to going into the movie, others may not be that fortunate.
The movie had no memoriable special effects to speak of. It did have a Hunger Games control center which served to maximize entertainment for those of the 12 districts watching the games. They also sent out some man eating attack dogs, which feasted on the final ‘loser’, a young character 16-17 years old whose last words were bitter angry ones.
Talking to the Kids After Watching the Hunger Games Movie
We ended up having a nice discussion on the way home from the theater. I was biting my tongue a bit, because they had been looking forward to this movie for some time. We asked them what they thought of the movie. If the content in the movie was in keeping with blessing or cursing of life itself. We also discussed the pulse of our culture, the trends that are negative, and the importance of understanding the long-term potential impacts of a movie like this on the hearts of men, women, and children. The value of a human life, the preciousness and innocence of a child.
Living in a Hunger Games Culture
With isolationsism, lonliness, and the suicide rate what it is among young people today, I would much rather talk with them about the value of human life including theirs. Discuss with them the opportunities before them and how they might make the lives of those around them better. That they might discover their maker, His plan for their life, and challenge them to pursue what that is. Teenagers have so much to offer!
Instead, this movie took on a fictional challenge of young people wanting to do something significant, and that significance is tied to outlasting peers by killing them.
Bottom-line on the Hunger Games Movie
In the end, it wasn’t all bad for us. It did create an opportunity for meaningful discussion afterwards. Parents, if your kids have seen the Hunger Games, ask them about it. Ask them what they thought of the story. As them if they found it odd that a movie about kids killing kids for a prize strikes them in some way? If they haven’t seen it, consider suggesting a night out, or a night in, playing board games instead.

|Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 12:41 am Post subject: Winter part eighteen
|Winter entered Vosco's phone number into the decrypter and waited for it to download his information from the wifi connection it established with the cell phone tower. Instantly it connected to his phone in repeater mode, acting as an in- between the cell tower and his phone. Winter stood on the roof of a motel building, her Verizon coveralls making her look like a maintenance worker as she knelt down, punching buttons and accessing on screen menus to verify the signal strength.
Winter looked around, seeing nobody capable of seeing her in any of the other building, and pulled out her binoculars, swinging them around to Vosco's lavish apartment. One a drug dealer could afford. He was out on his balcony, his hand bringing a cigarette down as he gripped the wrought iron railing, the smoke traveling in the wind and filling Winter's nose as she partially closed her eyes.
Vosco's phone rang as he flicked the cigarette off of the balcony, it tumbling and landing on someone's windshield as they used their wipers to swoosh it off of their car.
Vosco walked into his apartment, his tattooed arms betraying his nature, as Winter pushed the speaker a little deeper into her ear. Then she heard him pick up.
“Yeah.” Vosco's voice sounded like Dave's, but there was little room in it for any kindness.
“I got two guys. The best I got. Two machine pistols, one each.”
“Shit, they better be good for what I'm payi'n” Vosco growled back.
Tracing the call, Winter saved the other man's contact information, she might need it.
“Hey... Vosco. You better be sure Dave's the rat. You better be damn sure.”
“I'm sure, Henry! If I wasn't I wouldn't be going through all the trouble and money to do this. You know that!” Vosco said, as a chill swept through Winter's Naakaanee body.
“Yeah.” Henry growled, his voice betraying his doubts.
Even though Vosco hung his phone up, Winter kept the line open, the microphone on. A stream of obscene torrents spewed from Vosco's mouth as he shouted at some poor woman who squeaked in some corner of his house as it sounded like he threw something at her, it shattering off in the distance- or so it seemed through that phone's tinny microphone.
She screamed something back at him, and he said something to her that sounded like an insult as Winter heard his footsteps past the phone, then him pick the phone up. Winter terminated the connection as he dialed another number.
“Yeah.” Winter swallowed when she heard Dave's voice again. A myriad of emotions came flooding into her mind as she pushed them down, continuing to listen to the conversation.
“Dave! Bro!” Vosco said excitedly. Dave didn't share in his enthusiasm.
“Heh heh heh...” Vosco growled, unable to hide his disdain for Dave.
“I'll be in town tomorrow. Hey, uh, I wanna meet you somewhere. To, uh, talk. You know that little parking space behind those little businesses?”
“Can you be there tomorrow, at, say, two o clock?” Vosco asked.
“Yeah.” Dave said, as Winter giggled.
“...Okay bro! See you there.”
Winter kept Dave's end open, hoping for him to say more than just one word. She heard him stirring in his couch as she pictured him, with his hand on his head. Dave sighed. He knew what was up. “Where's my wolf girl when I need her?” Winter heard Dave say, then closed the line quickly.
Feeling energized, like she had a new life, a second wind, Winter felt all those nagging fears flea from her mind.
“She's right here.” Winter said, packing the gear up, and jumping from the room, landing on her feet, she glanced at Dave's door, which remained shut as she tripped- purposely, sticking a tracker to the underside of Dave's bike as she recovered. “Hey... You okay?” A tall, well dressed black man said, walking up to her. “Yeah, I'm fine.” Winter said, getting up, looking away, seeing his hand extended down to her. Winter looked up at him. He smiled at her and motioned for her to take his hand.
“Thank you...” Winter said, unable to contain the look of gratitude on her face. “You're welcome. Love the color.” He said. “Huh?” Winter said, brushing the fur on her head back. “Your nails... I'm sorry... I mean your claws... The pink, it's pretty. It suits you.” He said with a genuine smile.
Winter could hardly speak, but a fear pricked her as she glanced at Dave's apartment, then thanked the man, and trotted down the sidewalk, her duffel bag hanging off of her shoulder. “Have a good day!” She heard the man say to her as she held up her hand, pink claws pointing straight up.
Howard smiled, and sighed as he watched her walk away. Though he worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, he harbored no ill will towards Winter. He knew what she did. He knew her real occupation. But right now, he was on strict watch duty only. And... When he said the pink suited her... He wasn't telling a lie. It really brought out her eyes.
Winter jogged until she was well away from Dave's apartment as she began trying to hail a cab. She was a little upset over just how long it took, but the fifth cab stopped for her. She contemplated possibly buying a motorcycle as she tossed her duffel bag inside, and herself jumped in.
Winter told the Indian man where her apartment was and rested her hand on her duffel. The man nodded and sped off. Arriving at her apartment, Winter was conflicted. In all her years as an alien in an alien land, she had never heard someone complement her. And... he had meant it. There's wasn't a scent molecule of fear, or of the metallic scent of deception anywhere near the man. And his smile was so warm. Winter smiled as she put her feet up on her table and stared at her toes, the bottle of nail polish in her hand. She touched up where it needed a touch up and smiled.
She smiled for two reasons. The first was the kind man who had helped her up, restoring the dying hope she had in humanity, the second... Was the fact that she was going to have fun tomorrow, as she glanced at her floor and wagged her foot, the smile on her face more than a little disturbing.
Check out my new series Winter:


Guardians of the Galaxy unexpectedly became one of my favourite Marvel films when I finally got around to watching it last year. I loved the humour, the action, and the characters, so the sequel was something I’ve been looking forward to seeing since the release of the first trailer.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sees our heroes attract the attention of a powerful and elite alien race called “The Sovereign” when Rocket Raccoon steals the valuable batteries the team were hired to guard. Whilst the team are on-the-run, we’re introduced to Peter Quill’s father, who suddenly appears hoping to make amends after his long absence from Peter’s life.
This sequel did not disappoint. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 sticks to its guns with the familiar combination of fighting, space chases, and silliness that made the first film such a surprise success. And it does it well. The jokes are funny, the opening sequence featuring Baby Groot put a smile on my face, and the main characters are rarely safe from threats.
The plot of this film is actually several plots woven into one. Peter Quill discovers his parentage, whilst Nebula wrestles with her issues with Gamora, and Yondu faces a Reaver mutiny. Whilst all this is happening, The Sovereign are plotting their revenge against the scattered members of the intergalactic superhero team.
For me, the highlights of this film are the moments that focus on the secondary characters. Yondu features in a jaw-dropping fight sequence in which we get to see the full effects of his mind-controlled arrow, and Gamora and Nebula take part in their own private, but epic battle. These were some of the most interesting fight scenes I’ve seen in a while, and the production team did a great job in making them look flawless.
Baby Groot is consistently adorable and funny, and he made even an ice queen like me go googly-eyed. The scenes with Baby Groot are often the most creative, and so were definitely a highlight, without feeling too gimicky.
One thing I would have loved to see more of in this film is the relationship between Gamora and Nebula. This pair have such an interesting and dynamic relationship, to which I would love to see more screentime dedicated. One thing I would have liked to see less of meanwhile, is Drax. The character started to really grate on me during this film, with his constant put-downs and blunt remarks. However, that’s not to say he didn’t have his comical moments.
I can’t help but wonder if the film relies too much on its humour. Almost every action scene seems to be lightened with a joke from either Rocket, or Drax, or Quill, and there are points at which this almost feels tiring. It’s not that the jokes are bad or unwelcome, but the humour feels a little forced at times. The other flaw I found with this film is that there were parts that didn’t quite manage to hold my attention. This might be more of a reflection on my inability to watch something on a screen for over two hours, but it might be that this film was just a little too long, and not quite clever enough to keep my brain active.
Negativity aside, the biggest surprise in this film was THE FEELS. This film was so much more emotional than the previous instalment, and touched on the themes of family and loss. I went into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 expecting to laugh, and whilst I did laugh, there were also some genuinely sad moments that I was definitely not expecting.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was enjoyable, funny, and watchable. It wasn’t groundbreaking, or shocking, or revolutionary, but it was a genuinely enjoyable and fun film which benefited from many of the same elements as its predecessor. Guardians of the Galaxy continues to be a valuable asset to Marvel’s ever-growing line-up.

Step inside BAZZAR. A journey into an eclectic performance lab of infinite
creativity where a joyful troupe of acrobats, dancers, and musicians contrive
an awe-inspiring spectacle — one full of utter chaos and uplifting beauty.
BAZZAR whisks you inside the process like never before. “My biggest high is the
creative process,” says Writer and Director Susan Gaudreau. “I love creating with
people. There is nothing more fascinating for the audience than when artists share
that with you— What they go through… Their inner, creative world.” Lead by their
Maestro, the troupe bands together to invent a whimsical, one-of-a-kind universe.
With his precious Hat as his ultimate tool to proclaim order, the Maestro directs
the troupe as it builds on and on and on... Only to see their genius unravel at
the hand of a trickster, whose curiosity is a catalyst for conundrum along the
path to creation.
Just as winding and exhilarating as the creative process itself, a fun pursuit
of order and disorder ensues between the Maestro and the prankster; both attracted
by the Hat’s presence and the power it entails. In a place where the unexpected is
expected, the colourful group imagines, builds, and rebuilds vibrant scenes in an
artistic, acrobatic game. As the troupe unites in creation, inspiration radiates
from the space. At key moments, the story onstage is directly influenced by the
audience. Joining the troupe as one, an emotional journey is shared.
BAZZAR is also an homage to the beginnings of Cirque du Soleil, when an intimate
troupe of street artists over 30 years ago brought amazement to crowds, anywhere.
The high-energy excitement, collision of sounds and colours, and meeting place
of diverse characters you’d find at a traditional ‘bazaar’, inspired the name of
the show. BAZZAR perfectly captures the spirit! The spelling is slightly different,
where the double ‘zz’ represents the time loop you sense during the adventure. As
a word, BAZZAR is also read almost the same frontwords and backwords. Like the
performance, just when you think you know where the story is going — there’s a twist!

Une Belle Fille comme moi
Since buying the box set of Francois Truffaut from Japan about 3 years ago I have not managed to watch more than 1 or 2 of the films. The reason why i bought it from Japan is that it is the only place it is available from. A bit strange considering he is one of France's prized directors from the era.
But I decided to lob one in one my lunch break today and I remembered why I love his movies so much. There are only a few I haven't seen and this was one.
Une belle fille comme moi - was the title, translated as "A Gorgeous Bird Like Me".
For Truffaut it has more than the usual amount of humour, akin to "Bed and Board" (Domicile conjugal) so this must have been his comedy period.
Saying that there is always an element of humour in most FT movies, but the cartoon cinematography of parts of this particular film set it apart from his other works.
The basic plot of the story is based around the lead character Camille Bliss played by Bernadette Lafont (still very much active and starring in 'Broken English' ). She is introduced as a bit of a slutty village girl who knows how to use her charms to get what she wants after being accused of murdering her drunken abusing father by removing his ladder when he is looking for wood in a garage attic.
A socialogist, Stanislas Prévine, goes to prison to start a thesis about 'Ciminal Women' and Camille is his first study. Despite protests from the prison warders, that she is just a 'hussy' and other murderers may have more intersting stories he persists in interviewing Camille.
Camille then begins to tell her life story. The interviews with Stanislas are intercut with the reality of what happened and also with Stanislas and his secretary Helene typing up the thesis. Helene becomes very jealous of Camille as she is in love with Stanislas and repeatedly persuades him that she is just a common whore.
During these sesions we find out that Camille had various lovers who she seduces. Her first, Clovis, a simple country boy who lives with his mother. She then goes on to marry Clovis just to annoy his Mother (who she eventually murders).
Then Sam Golden, a R&B bar star who she sleeps with whilst married to Clovis to annoy her husband and also to try to succeed at singing which she is not that good at. Following this affair is Marchal the lawyar who tried to help her after Clovis is run down in a car accident. He then sleeps with her after promising a lot of compensation but only to blackmail her later with adultery to help Clovis. And finally Arthur the 'pest killer'. A succesful religious man who willingly parts with his money to help Camille in any way. The one character in her life who doesn't seem to want to get into her pants. Confused by this she forces him to. The reaction to this encounter is that Arthur wants to top himself and asks Camille to join him in jumping of a cathedral roof. She obviously refuses.
As the interviews proceed Stanislas quickly falls for Camille and brings her various gifts. She becomes more and more flirtatious with her interviewer and even though she reveals more and more about her 'femme fatale' character the socialologist falls for her more and more and decides he wants to free the woman he loves as his attraction to her has made him believe she is innocent.
Eventually he finds a way to provide the courts with the evidence thay need to quash the conviction. A small film-fanatic child who had filmed the 'murder' of "Arthur the exterminator" which put her away. It turns out to be a suicide. The child Jerome seems to be vary much based on Truffaut himself as he refuses repeatedly to show the film as it hadn't yet been edited.
Eventually Stanislas and his secreatary convince the small child to show the film and they see that Camille did not push Arthur from the Cathedral walls.
We then see Camille freed and quickly Stanislas visiting her in a theatre using her less than talented voice as more jovial than vocal entertainment. But Stan seems to miss the plot yet again and brings her flowers night after night until she brings him home to her appartment where he almost beds the lead lady.
Clovis returns, a fight ensues and Stanislas is knocked out. Camille shoots Clovis and places the weapon in the unconscious hands of the socialologist. He is then imprisoned.
Stanislas's lawyer comes to visit him in prison and they come up with a plan. He suddenly remembers a piece of evidence which could convict her for the murder of Clovis' Mother. But instead of the blackmail that they plot it backfires on him again as Camille 'charms' the Lawyer and they together have the house destroyed.
The film ends with Camille visiting the smitten Stanislas in prison and telling him how prison could help him. He always wanted a book published. Prison helped her get her singing career and maybe prison could help him in the same way. Ironic ending as the beginning of the movie we see a woman asking in a Library "Do you have a copy of Criminal Wamen - It's a Sociological thesis?" - " No it was never printed - No idea why."


Harry Potter star yet to repeat on screen magic
DANIEL Radcliffe has yet to watch a Harry Potter movie – other than at a premiere screening.
The actor insists he has “better things to do” with his time.
He said: “I don’t look back at them. If you’re a fan, watch them all you like, but I was there.
“I just don’t like watching myself. I don’t think many actors do, but I certainly don’t, because it’s very embarrassing.”


Night of the Musical Dead takes place in the tiny hamlet of Wicksford, Connecticut.†† Jimmy and Bunni are brother and sister and are spending their Sunday visiting their parentís graves.† Jimmy teases Bunni about being frightened of cemeteries (Thereís a Place in Heaven).† A man staggers towards the two and fights with Jimmy.† Hysterical, Bunni runs from the scene until she comes upon an abandoned farmhouse.† There she meets Duane, who is hiding from the creatures outside.† Still hysterical, Bunni tries to tell Duane about what happened to her and her brother.† Duane realizes that for the first time in his life, heís going to have to take care of someone else (Responsible) because Bunni has lapsed into catatonia. Meanwhile, a sense of foreboding and panic is sweeping Wicksford (Something Bad). †
Tim comes up from the basement and is soon joined by Harvey and Ellen Rowland, whoís daughter has been bitten by one of the creatures and is resting in the basement.† They all find an old television set and watch for the latest news updates.† (Television)† Harvey wants to take the TV set down to the basement and barricade the group down there.† Duane is unconvinced, and Harvey stomps off to find another† television (Looking Out For Number One).†† Duane tells Ellen about her husbandís actions and she draws the parallel between being stuck in a loveless marriage and being trapped in the house (Thereís No Getting Out of This).
Timís girlfriend, Kitten comes up from the basement and they begin to make weapons to fight off the ever-increasing number of the undead outside the house. (Molotov Song)†† While trying to reinforce some of the windows upstairs, Tim is bitten and thatís when the group finds out that a bite from the undead is fatal to the victim (Weíre All Gonna Die Someday).
Act 2 begins with local television reporter, Don Traut, interviewing the Reverend Jeremiah Wrongfellow about the situation in town.† The Reverend is convinced that itís all from a lack of faith and religious dogma (Pray!)
Tim proposes to Kitten in a desperate attempt to hold on to her.†† Kitten is confused (Choices).† She finally relents when she discovers her secret desire to be bitten by the man she loves (Eat Me).† With both Tim and Kitten on the path to becoming zombies, they leave the house together, arm in arm.†† The undead pour into the house as Duane and Harvey fight over the sole shotgun.† Bunni faces her brother once more and realizes that heís changed (Thereís a Place in Heaven Reprise).
The Reverend returns as a member of the undead and we discover that heís on a new mission (Prey!)† Ellen confronts her husband about his shortcomings as a father and husband.† (Song of Marital Discord).† Harvey and Duane agreed to a truce (Work Together) in order to concentrate on the more important fight they have before them.† Ellen kills her husband for several reasons.
Reporter Don Traut is alone in the field and beginning to fear for his life (Hear That Sound) as things start to go badly in the battle against the undead.
Ellen is confronted by her daughter (Oh Mother) who has been stuck in the basement the entire time.† Duane enters just as Kerry is killing her mother causing Duane to kill her.† Duane, now alone in the house against a sea of the undead, runs to the basement and locks himself in there.† Several days later, he reemerges from the cellar and realizes that he could well be the only human left in town and contemplates what he should do next.† (One Bullet)

The essay did not fit your needs? There are some significant differences between both of these functions, if only due to when they were written.
Korean 65, Imported Total admissions: They are listed in the order of their release. Double Agent The recent and ongoing wave of s nostalgia has produced cheeky and heartfelt comedies such as Conduct Zero and Bet on My Disco, as well as sincere dramas such as Champion, looking back into the troubled decade with a mixture of longing, fondness and melancholy.
Although some of these movies are excellent, it is about time that quality films like Memories of Murder blow away the pearly haze surrounding the s, and expose its dark underbelly. Double Agent is another admirable attempt in this direction. An espionage thriller almost classical in its schemata A movie that it immediately reminded me of was Martin Ritt's adaptation of John Le Carre's The Spy Who Came in From the Coldthe movie was somewhat overshadowed by the publicity surrounding the casting of Han Suk-kyu and Ko So-youngboth of whom chose this project for a comeback film after long hiatuses.
However, the Southern authorities suspect Rim of false defection and subject him to rounds of unspeakable torture.
Asked why he escaped to the South, Rim mutters through torn and blood-encrusted lips, "To There is no liberty in South Korea either, dumbass. The film explores this theme through its focus on one tough operative caught between two "fatherlands," which merely see him as a pawn in the grand game of chess, expendable and readily replaceable.
Rim, in truth, is a North Korean spy.
He withstands the torture and gains trust of the South Korean spooks. He hides his true loyalties, resists assimilation into the capitalist and pleasure-seeking South Korean culture. And yet when Rim meets his courier cum contact Yun-mi Ko So-youngraised in South Korea as a spy almost from the day of her birth, his absolute faith in the Worker's Party begins to crumble.
A pawn who learned to question his role as a pawn is no longer useful as a pawn, and must be eliminated.
Double Agent is relentlessly somber in tone. Those who expect the charming tragi-comedy of The Spy Lee Chul-jin and the slick entertainment of Shiri will be particularly disappointed: Those not familiar with recent Korean history may be completely sideswiped by a major subplot involving the framing of South Korean students in Berlin as Northern spies by the KCIA.
The movie's biggest problem, however, is that Han Suk-kyu and Ko So-young have little chemistry together. Even though Han is as usual very believable in a difficult role, Ko is frankly miscast, unable to convey the combination of romantic fatalism and sharp awareness that her character is supposed to possess.
On the other hand, the movie's technical accomplishments are top-notch. From the title sequence that stunningly and seamlessly integrates Han Suk-kyu into the documentary footage of a North Korean military parade, to the impeccable production design of the drab KCIA offices and the dreadful torture chamber in Namsan, to Michael Staudacher's majestic music score, there is very little from the production end that can be called sloppy or indifferent.
Greatly aided by these overachieving staff members, newcomer director Kim Hyeon-jeong does a fine job of orchestrating the potentially unwieldy plot mechanisms and diverse elements of the globe-spanning production into a coherent whole.
The supporting cast provides an able support as well. Song Jae-ho, who starred in the two top hit films of s, Young-ja's Heyday , Winter Woman : Cheon Ho-jin as the elite, dandy KCIA honcho is full of venom under the surface of a mellow, reasonable father figure.
More like a major Hollywood production starring Harrison Ford than a generic Korean film, Double Agent is too polished to be an art film, too serious-minded to be a fun picture.
Whatever it may lose in entertainment value, however, it gains back in respect. I hope to see more political thrillers like Double Agent in the future, not necessarily about North-South relations, but about all aspects of the recent history of the Korean peninsula.
There are so many compelling stories yet to be told on the silver screen. Apart from its local success, it was the best-performing Korean film ever to open in Southeast Asia, and DreamWorks even bought up rights to produce a remake in the U.
It would be unfair to expect director Kwak Jae-yong to catch lightning in a bottle yet again with his next feature The Classic, and fans of My Sassy Girl should keep their expectations in check when they watch it. Despite being sprinkled with bits of humor, The Classic adopts a far more traditional melodramatic mode than its predecessor.
It tells the story of Ji-hye, a university student who discovers a secret box filled with old letters while her mother is traveling overseas.
As she explores its contents, she comes to learn of her mother's first love affair, a story which closely parallels her own situation at the university. Told mostly in flashback, with actress Son Yeh-jin taking the roles of both Ji-hye and her mother Ju-hee, the film opens with a gorgeous-looking sequence shot in the country which strongly recalls the Korean novel and movie Rain Shower "Sonagi", parodied in the film My Sassy Girl.
Ju-hee, on a visit from Suwon, becomes acquainted with a boy her age named Jun-ha Cho Seung-woo who takes her downriver to a crumbling 'haunted' house. On their way back they lose their boat and are caught up in a rain shower, so that they return very late and Ju-hee is sent back to Suwon by her angry parents.
Later, however, they become re-acquainted at high school, and a love triangle emerges between them and Jun-ha's best friend. The film is quite long, and takes many more twists and turns as it jumps between past and present.
Unfortunately the segment staged in the present day does not develop much emotional force, with Jo In-sung giving a particularly wooden performance as Ji-hye's love interest.Wiki.

While Andy Muschietti's The Flash didn't serve as the reboot of the DCU many thought it would, Zack Snyder's original vision would have.
Storyboard artist Jay Oliva was originally involved with The Flash film for the DCU (then DCEU). “I worked with Seth Grahame-Smith, the first director who was attached to The Flash,” Oliva told Inverse. “I did a storyboard for him. I did that test. I don't think I ever saw it, but it got the green light for the movie.”
He remained attached to the project with Rick Famuyiwa as they awaited a new director.
“I worked with Rick for like six or seven months on that Flash movie, right up until Rick left [in October 2017],” he said. “The cast was in London. They were building sets. When Rick left, I switched gears and did the reshoots for the ending of Wonder Woman.”
However, unlike the Flash film that we got, Smith's wasn't going to adapt the Flashpoint storyline. “Rick's movie wasn't the Flashpoint movie,” Oliva revealed. “Originally, there was supposed to be just Zack's five films and one side movie, which ended up being Suicide Squad (2016).”
He continued, “Rick's movie was going to be a series of films, just like Aquaman. I think all of those films, they were planning to be trilogies.”
The Flash films would have introduced a major big bad from the comics: Eobard Thawne (Reverse-Flash).
“Rick's movie was laying the groundwork for Zoom as the big baddy of the DC Universe,” he revealed. “It was Professor Zoom pulling the strings because he had come from the future to basically f**k with Barry. In the Flash movies, Zoom would be the villain in the background. But also in the ancillary other films, you would see some of the influences of Zoom on the rest of the Justice League.”
Zack Snyder's Flashpoint would have then resulted in a reboot point for the DCU. “At the ending of Zack's Darkseid quadrilogy, or whatever, we would end up with a Justice League Unlimited version of the Snyder-verse,” Oliva said. “And then you flip it. You do Flashpoint Paradox. Everybody who's friends are now enemies, and it's a world that you don't want to live in. You can reboot the universe and introduce a new cast that way. Because after 10 years, the actors need to go onto something else.”
But we never got that, and Oliva talked about why he was excited by a Flashpoint film. “I wanted to really capture the grimness of the comic, but also lay the groundwork for adapting this as if it was a Marvel live-action film,” he said of the 2013 animated Flashpoint film. “I just thought that would've been fantastic. Can you imagine Jason Momoa fighting Gal Gadot and then having that love story?”
Reflecting on being along for the ride of the DCU collapse, Oliva said, “All of the missed opportunities — being a part of it was so exciting, and then having to shift gears and pivot. It's kind of sad. I would've loved to have seen it get to this point.”
The Flash film that we got teamed Ezra Miller's Barry Allen with an elder Batman (Michael Keaton) and Supergirl (Sasha Calle).


‘I didn’t get the money. I didn’t get the woman.’
I've loved film noir ever since I chose the wonderful 'Cowboys and Detectives' module as part of my Masters. I mean, who doesn't want to read about the Wild West and watch Chinatown?
Double Indemnity is a film I watch at least once a year. It's great film noir but it’s also just a straight-up incredible film, regardless of genre. When I watch it I get lost in the words and shadows. I go away and I can’t stop thinking about it. Lines and images get stuck in my head and I have to hold the thoughts in and not bring it up randomly in conversation. I make endless connections and relate it to unrelated things because I want it to be part of everything. C’mon, it’s Wilder x Chandler… It’s a masterpiece.
And Barbara Stanwyck, what a badass.
This little (sort of cheesy) documentary covers most of why it’s one of the greatest films you’ll ever be lucky enough to see.
