Stop me if you’ve heard this one.
So, there I was, minding my own business, when… You’ve already heard it?
Yeah, well, once again that geezer, Ben Willoughby, asked me to name ten more Movie/TV characters.
This time I need to name and shame my worst screen characters. A harder task by far. You see, when you try thinking of a favourite, your mind gets crammed with characters all jumping up and down, waving their hands (or other appendages), crying, “Pick me! Pick me!”
When you start thinking about the very worst, well, it’s an entirely different story altogether. Immediately, you’ve got characters pulling blinds, phoning in sick, or just slinking into the background. It’s not easy. Also, I tend to forget bad characters very quickly.
I usually go into films with a reasonably open mind. I give a TV show three episodes to get going. Of course, there are those special cases where a film or TV series is just so bad that I begin clawing at my eyes to try and unsee what I have just seen.
So, here are ten screen characters that I loathe. That is not to say that I hate the character per se, just their on-screen portrayal(s). Once again, they’re not in any particular order. I hate each with equal vehemence.
Here you go…
– Willy Wonka –
“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005)
I like most of Tim Burton’s films. I also like some of Johnny Depp’s work. I hate his portrayal of Willy Wonka (or did he mistakenly think he was playing Michael Jackson?). A poor retelling of a classic. Can you honestly say you didn’t want to reach into the screen and just punch him really hard? Fortunately, this version was named differently from the classic 1971 film starring Gene Wilder.
– Anakin Skywalker –
“Star Wars” (I-III)
I like “Star Wars”. Not so fond of the prequels. Much of that is down to Hayden Christensen’s portrayal of Anakin Skywalker. The constant, nonstop, eternal… whining! A terrible frankenstein performance during the ‘birth’ of Darth Vader. I truly believe that if you can watch Star Wars 1 through 3 without once trying to ‘force choke’ this bastard then you are truly worthy of being a Jedi. Sadly, I surrendered to the dark side within minutes of hearing Anakin speak.
– Carl Grimes –
“The Walking Dead” (2010-)
I have been a fan of “The Walking Dead” from back when I started reading the B&W comic book. There are so any reasons to dislike this character. In the beginning it was just the whining (I have a theme going here), but now it’s the attitude as well. A boring character with limited scope on mainstream TV. To be fair, I don’t like the character in the comic book either (even more so with recent issues). I wasn’t overly fond of his mother, Lori Grimes, either. Ah well, one down, one to go…
– Damien Thorn –
“Omen III: The Final Conflict” (1981)
While I did enjoy “Omen” and, to a lesser extent, “Omen II”, this older version of Damien Thorn was truly awful. You can just see it: one Sunday down in Hell, all the damned sat around the “Bake and Grill” playing cards and sipping beers; having a chat about their sons and daughters while showing photos and telling stories. Then it comes to Lucifer’s turn. The room grows quiet. There’s a cough and a sympathetic shoulder pat followed by a shrug, “Whatcha gonna do, eh?”
– Edward Cullen –
Come on. You knew it had to be one or the other. Is there anything that needs to be said here? Hmm. In this case, the character was flawed even before it got off the page let alone the screen. Sure, Bella Swan is possibly worse as a character. Did anyone else hope that the film was going to end early when Bella Swan-dived off the cliff? I know I had my jacket on (the pains one has to endure when dating – thank goodness for backlit e-readers). Anyway, Edward was a whiner and I picked him because he does it a lot. What’s more, he took vampires kicking and screaming out of the dark and turned them all into hipsters. To be fair though, let’s not forget that Dracula also walked around during the day. Of course, he didn’t sparkle, possessed a much better accent, and had a better taste in women…
– John Constantine –
I followed the “Hellblazer” comics from very early on. I used to read them on the train when I was travelling to college in Liverpool back in the day. Anyway, John Constantine is the dog’s bollocks. Sure, if you’ve never read the comics then you probably have no idea who he is. Unfortunately, this was probably the case for those that thought Keanu Reeves would be a good fit for the character. No scouse accent and not a blonde hair on his head. FFS!
– Nick Fury –
“The Avengers” (2012-)
Yeah, some people love this character. Well I don’t. I don’t care that Marvel are using the ‘Ultimate’ version of Nick Fury over the original Nick Fury. It’s not the whole black/white issue. The truth of the matter is: this character is just filler. Nothing more. There is absolutely nothing of substance here. This isn’t helped by the fact that Samuel L. Jackson plays the character in much the same way as he does in nearly every role. Boring.
– Nikki & Paulo –
“Lost” (Season 3)
Quite a few of the characters from this TV series could fill this list. Anyway, the obvious choice here has to be Nikki and Paulo. Thoroughly annoying characters that should have set alarm bells ringing well before the show reached its ‘end’. Yeah, I know that’s two characters again, but like I said before, you can’t have one without the other. Besides, they were written (and I use that term loosely) into the show together… and fortunately they went out together.
– Bane –
“The Dark Knight Rises” (2012)
This might raise a few eyebrows. Well, it shouldn’t. This character was appalling. If you intended to use Bane as the final nemesis for Batman then you should have made references to him in the earlier films. Bane was a great character in the comics because he was built up over the course of many, many months. This was a bad attempt to take a character with great potential and shove him into the space of a few hours. Don’t get me started on the whole back-breaking/bruising scene either.
– Robin Hood –
“Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991)
I do like Robin Hood. The character that is. This, however, was the worst of a bad lot. Forget the irritating song for a moment and just look at the character here. The lack of research was lamentable as was Kevin Costner’s shoddy performance and lack of an English accent. The character, as portrayed here, lacked any depth and chose to ignore the myth and folklore surrounding the legend. For anyone out there that has never seen a decent Robin Hood then I urge you pick up your coat now and go buy the classic “Robin of Sherwood” Series 1 and 2 (forget Series 3). You won’t regret it.
And there you go. I find it interesting that while I was listing my 10 favourite screen characters I was not only thinking about their portrayal, but also the character themselves. In this case, I have had to pick a few characters that I do actually like, but not always on the screen.
For instance, I like John Constantine from “Hellblazer”, but I loathe the Keanu Reeves version. The new TV series is closer to what it should be, but is somewhat flawed by the apparent need to appeal to the dominant U.S. audience.
One of the characters that I really wanted to list here was Batman. The character just hasn’t been handled very well on the big or small screen. “Batman Begins” wasn’t awful by any means, but neither was it great. A few good scenes do not a character make. So little has been done with Bruce Wayne.
Without doubt, the terrible Val Kilmer and George Clooney portrayals fully deserve a few turns in the meat grinder. Personally, the tightest version of Batman on the screen has to be the animated series.
Finally, the two runner’s up worthy of a mention would have to be: Snow White (from “Snow White and the Huntsmen”) played by Kristen Stewart and the early ‘career’ of the 7th Doctor (“Doctor Who”) played by Sylvester McCoy.
Anyway, I’ll let someone else have a go. I’ll tag you via Twitter as always. Good luck.

Yet another interesting gem you can find on Netflix. The Stuff is a fun sort of "invasion" movie that borrows numerous ideas from other films like Invasion of The Body Snatchers, Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and numerous others and mixes them together into a rather satisfying treat. This is a film that reminded me of the days I used to read R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books when I was in elementary school. It has a light heart for such a grim story, much like most of Stine's books, and reminds me a lot of the slime saga of books in the series. If you enjoy horror movies with an extra serving of campy goodness The Stuff is right up your alley.
While the poster may fool you into thinking this is a straight up horror movie it is much more than that. It is a goofy take on the story of Invasion of The Body Snatchers replacing invading aliens with the titular Stuff. There are numerous instances in the movie that are more camp that horror. Such as the inclusion of numerous hilarious advertisements for The Stuff as its popularity grows. However, it is Garrett Morris' "Chocolate Chip Charlie" who practically steals the show with his over-the-top performance which you can't help but love.
The premise is fairly straightforward with numerous sub-plots that come together as the movie progresses. To begin, a group of men discover a strange substance seeping from the ground that they discover is unbelievably delicious. Naturally, they start to sell the substance, which they simply call "The Stuff," and it becomes a national phenomenon. However, not everything about The Stuff is great, as our protagonists soon learn as it begins to gradually take people over.
The protagonists include David, an industrial spy sent to discover the secret behind The Stuff; Jason, a young boy who hates The Stuff for a very good reason; and the small band of people who help them reveal the truth about The Stuff to the world. However, the most memorable character in the movie, I found, was Chocolate Chip Charlie a junk food mogul who is so hilarious and over-the-top he's up there with some of the more memorable loony characters in film and television like Jack Sparrow and Cosmo Kramer.
The horror elements here, while being very 80's, are still fun to watch. The Stuff is a film where the more ridiculous the effects are the better they are. There are numerous effects shots that, while being horrendous, you can't help but enjoy for their clever implementation. There are some better effects in the movie, but not many, and I can't go into them for the sake of spoiling the movie. Needless to say, though, it's fun to see squibs explode that have been loaded with white yogurt instead of blood for a change.
However, it's not all horror and camp here. The Stuff actually manages to examine our culture's obsession with junk food and the ramifications of popularizing substances that, while tasty, aren't exactly good for you. While it doesn't take a genius to really see the subtext it still provides an interesting subject to ponder on as you munch on your bag of Doritos.
While The Stuff may not be appetizing to everyone, it is definitely a treat to watch.


Action Aid 2014
Clean Up Barclays Campaign Video, March 2014
Action Aid wanted to create a short video to highlight it’s Clean Up Barclays Campaign. We created the animation on a low budget – I created a set of images and sent them to the campaigns team who put together the video and voice over. It was a really fun and creative process as none of us had tried something like this, yet we demonstrated what could be done in-house without a film crew or lots of technology.


The first half of the game begins with a video montage of scenes from the history of black people and the experiences of slavery.
It then features scenes from The Black City Walls exhibition at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC.
The second half of this game starts with a montage that features scenes of African-Americans and their contributions to America’s civil rights movement.
The first segment features scenes taken from the film A Black Man’s Guide to American Freedom.
The third segment of the video, which starts with footage from the exhibit, features clips from the HBO documentary Black Agenda Report and the film The Black Body.
The fourth segment features clips of footage of the Harlem Shake, which was a major protest in New York City in 1991, and the protest against police brutality in Baltimore in 2014.
It also features footage of a protester who died after being pepper sprayed during protests.
During the first half, a narrator, a young black man named Paul, narrates the footage.
Paul explains that in the 1950s, black people were not only oppressed, but they were killed.
Black men were beaten and beaten by police, and police were beating up black people.
Paul then shows clips from his childhood.
Paul’s first scene shows him playing basketball in the school yard and learning about black culture, including the African American religious beliefs, which he then learns about from a local minister.
Paul talks about how his family has always had problems with police brutality.
After hearing this story, the narrator continues with the story of Paul and his family.
The narrator then shows footage of Paul as a child, where he watches an old African American mother and her two children being brutally beaten by a white police officer.
The police officer then says to Paul, “Now I want you to remember me, because I’m going to beat you again.
Paul is then shown clips from a school shooting in the 1960s, where black students were shot and killed.
He is shown being arrested for the same crime in a school cafeteria.
Paul is shown having a dream of becoming a police officer and learning how to shoot.
Paul then gets arrested and charged with murder.
He then sees footage of himself being beaten by an officer.
He learns that his family members are now dead, and that he was wronged by the police.
Paul is shown how to survive being an accused murderer, and how he learns about his family history, including being the only black person in the family to be executed for a crime they didn’t commit.
Paul’s story ends with a scene of him being arrested, charged, and ultimately convicted.
Paul was acquitted of the murder of his mother and brother.
The second segment of video concludes with a clip of a black man, identified as Paul, who has been shot in the head.
Paul walks into the police station to ask for help.
A police officer asks Paul if he has a gun.
Paul says that he has, but he says that the officer won’t let him take it because he is not black.
Paul asks to see the gun.
The narrator then tells the story about the Black Body exhibition at National Museum, and tells Paul, as the narrator tells his story, “It’s like watching the game with black people in the middle.”
Paul is then led into a room with a wall of photographs of black bodies.
The room is set up with a large poster of black faces with the words, “Black Body: The Forgotten History.”
The poster says, “There is no story like this in history, and there is no way to tell it.”
The narrator ends the video with a quote from the famous movie The Black Man, which reads, “The greatest struggle in America is the struggle of the white man against the black man.”


A few weeks ago, I talked my 8 year-old niece into seeing “Chimpanzee“, again. She’d already seen it & even though the reviews were so-so, I felt it was my duty as the everyday primate to see Disney’s take on one of our closest cousins, Pan troglodytes.
Nikko, you were really a trouper to see this movie again! Thank you, sweetie. I can totally understand that you fell asleep about 2/3 of the way through. I stayed awake though, furiously writing notes about the too-human us vs. them story line which obliterated any enjoyment of seeing real chimps in their real African environment.
Because, sadly – in spite of Oscar, the cute baby chimp whose mother dies in the movie but who (apparently really, but unlikely in fact) ends up being taken under the wing by the ‘good guy’ alpha male – sadly, the reviewers were right.
Here’s my comment on the NY Times film review: “This movie was anthropomorphizing at its worst. The good guys (including mommies & orphans) win due to “teamwork” & the bad guys (“thugs”) lose because they’re into “brute force”?Chimpanzees are interesting enough without the “rival mob” narrative: here are some more words used [in the movie] to characterize the ‘other’ group & its interactions with ‘our’ group: gang, invasion, attack, pillage, enemy, & army. Are we gearing up for another war? What a disappointment.”
It could’ve been a great film. The real chimpanzees, the real drama of their lives (yes they do fight with & occasionally kill each other), the lovely shots of where they live… jeez Disney – you could’ve done a real service to our understanding of these close relatives of ours. I know you were trying – even showing our real animal cousins on the big screen is progress. But please, for next time, for the bonobo movie you’ve got to be planning (right?! – the one about our other cousins??), please feel free to call me during the test screening phase for an honest opinion.
I love to imagine the plot of “Bonobo” (uh oh – would it still be “G” rated??) …young Oscar is with his mommy, who happens to be the alpha female (and therefore leader) of the group; he’s enjoying playing with his cousins & older brothers, who will stay in the group & retain their status via their mother (who won’t be killed off in the movie by the ‘bad guys’ because there really aren’t any in bonobo society). When little Oscar greets his playmates, they engage in a little quick sex for a few seconds, then scamper up to swing around in the soft, light-filled trees. When a neighboring group ventures into their territory, drawn by the tempting, ripe fruit, they all have a little more sex for a few moments before sharing the bountiful harvest. Sure, there are a few minutes of tension & bipedal, scary posturing, but before long, everyone settles down & enjoys the feast, & the nap of sweet satiation afterward.
No doubt it would be called a chick flick. Works for me.
Thanks for your critique of the movie, Linda. Spot on, I say.
If you’ve not had a chance to read Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan’s 1992 “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors,” I will loan you my copy. Their book explores the earth before humans, then looks at our primordial ancestors. It then takes a fascinating look at our primate evolution and delves quite at length into the behavior of our closest cousins, both the chimpanzee and the bonobo…and others. As a biologist, of course, I observe and am fascinated by all life. As a human, I suppose I get to make my own value judgement between the diversity of primates. After reading this book, my immediate thought was that I sure was glad I am Homo sapiens.
to be able to appreciate the summer sunset…no doubt our cousins do as well, but it’s our blessing & curse, this heightened awareness…

When it comes to making movies, writers are not afraid to tell you what you’re supposed to be doing.
The most obvious example is the endings of classic films.
It’s an easy thing to tell when a movie ends: there’s a big happy happy ending and a bitter, sad ending.
But there’s also a lot of ambiguity, and that’s what’s going to get you confused.
Here’s what you need to know about what to do when your movie ends.
Your movie should be called a “happy ending” 2.
You should be able to call it anything you want 3.
When the movie ends, it should be a happy ending 4.
Your ending should be accurate The easiest way to get it right is to tell the story of your ending correctly.
The way it ends depends on a lot.
If you’re not sure whether you’re ending on a happy or a sad note, it’s probably best to just call it a “mixed” ending.
That’s when your ending changes a lot from film to film.
If your ending ends with the characters walking down a street in a happy mood, you’re probably in good shape.
If it ends with a happy couple getting married, that’s a different story altogether.
In a mixed ending, your ending is ambiguous at best.
That means that you can end up ending up with a “very happy” ending, or a “sad” ending if you’re feeling sad.
But the best ending always has the best meaning.
Here are some guidelines for making a happy and sad ending: 1.
A happy ending can be called either a happy, sad, or mixed ending.
When calling a happy version, you should always be sure to be specific about which characters were happy.
When making a sad version, be sure that you don’t leave out any important details like the names of the two characters who were hurt.
When ending the movie with a sad ending, be careful to leave in a lot more than the one character who’s hurt.
For instance, if you want to end the movie on a sad, bittersweet note, don’t just leave in the final line of the credits.
Instead, make sure that at least one character’s happy and one’s sad.
You can also include a brief “thank you” at the end of the movie.
If that doesn’t sound like the right way to end your ending, then you can just skip the credits altogether.
The best ending will always have the most impact.
It will have the biggest impact if you tell the full story of the characters’ lives, their choices, and their reactions to their actions.
A bad ending is a sad end.
That meaning is lost if you omit a bit of information about the characters or leave out a lot in the ending.
You shouldn’t make your ending “happy” or “soulless.”
It’s better to make your happy ending a bit ambiguous.
When you’re making a mixed or happy ending, it makes sense to give a lot to the characters who ended up happy, and a little to the people who ended in pain.
That way, your film is more accurate.
You don’t need to include all of the action sequences in your ending.
In movies, there are a lot action scenes.
When your ending has no action, you don�t have to do anything extra.
When doing action sequences, you have to include everything else: the sound effects, the music, and the character’s reactions.
In general, the more scenes you include in your film, the better it will be for the story.
When choosing a movie to end, remember to be careful about what kind of endings you choose.
When deciding between a happy/soully ending or a mixed/happy ending, keep in mind that the best endings will have a lot less action.
When that happens, you can make a film that is more action-oriented or more suspenseful.
You could also make a movie that’s just about characters and not about the action.
If the movie has lots of action and lots of suspense, then your ending will have lots of tension.
You may have to write a scene description for every movie you make.
If so, you needn’t worry.
You’ll be able do it on the fly when you start working on your movie.
When writing a scene, always keep your plot in mind.
Your scenes should be structured like the characters and their actions in the movie, and you should keep track of what happened in each scene.
Don’t try to tell everything about the movie you’re writing.
That doesn’t work in real life, so don’t try.
Write the ending you want in your head and make sure it fits in with the plot of your film.
Writing your ending should include a few extra words that will help you to tell your ending properly.
The first line of your scene description should be something


One More Time - Here Comes The Ghost
I'm waiting for the morning the gentle glow I know the light should have been here an hour ago But still the fog keeps drifting and something's out there My tears are freezing as I'm walking down the empty stairways He'll soon be inside, oh why won't he let go I see that ghost again I see that ghost again Who am I trying to fool, is it the white faced clown Though I cannot see the serpent I know he's in town It is that sense of chaos, that's getting closer Just as my story seems to go towards a happy ending Just as I feel I am the queen of the show I see that ghost again I see that ghost again It's getting near the end I can't believe I must face that fear again I feel so lost in the house that we shared The phone is ringing but nobody's there And just as I'm about to cry in despair I see a light outside my window the sky is cracking up, here comes the sunrise But soon I'm back in business still selling lies I'm shaking hands with a stranger avoiding his eyes And though his grip is frosty it feels familiar The words I try to speak become a chant of fright Just as I thought I could escape from the eternal night I see that ghost again... a.s.o

THE SOUL GAME SHORT FILM IS HERE!
It’s based on my short story of the same name.
Just remember, a creak means you’re falling behind, a rustle means you’ve almost lost. When the lights go down, hopefully you won’t see the dark shadow standing in the corner of the room. Hopefully you won’t hear it breathing as your eyes shut and you begin to drift off. And if you hear a bang? Well, hopefully you never hear a bang.
Soul Game was one of my favorites of Bloodworths, even though the story itself was a little blander than the others, the idea of the game was terrifying. Decent film, the acting is kinda bad in some parts but hey it looks like it was a college film or something so what can you expect.


rstood through the use of the ‘precious diadem’ as a symbol of Gertrude. Hamlet informed the responder prior going to Gertrude’s room that “[his] tongue and soul in this [will] be hypocrites”, i.e. inferring that his speech with Gertrude will not reflect the truth within him. Through this Hamlet intends to deceive the responder in order to conceal his inner self and true aims. However, when Hamlet uses the ‘precious diadem’ as a symbol for his mother and mentions that he believes that Claudius stole the ‘precious diadem’ and ‘put it in his pocket’ the responder to forced to question from where was Gertrude stolen. Hence, the responder realises that Gertrude was not stolen from old Hamlet, as he is now dead, but from Hamlet himself. The world ‘stole’ in this context means that Hamlet feels that Claudius took one of Hamlet’s possessions and deprived him of it. Hamlet’s real ‘motive’ is also seen when he says “Mother you have my father much offended”. Both Hamlet and the responder are aware that the Ghost is concerned about the ‘the foul and most unnatural murder’ Claudius committed and not entirely on his “incestuous, adulterate” behaviour. Hence Hamlet here is suggesting that his mother offended him and not his dead father who now lies under the ground. In addition towards the end of the play when Hamlet finally takes the action and kills Claudius his act was not done to avenge his father but to take revenge for his mother who was killed by Claudius’s “foul practice”. Therefore, it becomes clear
In Hamlet’s soliloquy in Act 2, Scene 2, Shakespeare successfully creates a dual character for Hamlet. He does this by pointing out through diction both Hamlet’s passion and fear for revenge and Hamlet’s love and doubt toward his father’s ghost.
Hamlet speaks his soliloquy after watching the player’s performance. Hamlet is amazed at the player’s ability to develop emotions for “Hecuba”. Hamlet wonders how he can do it without experiencing the story. He then imagines what the player would do
Fu ck you
In Shakespeare's Hamlet the story takes place in the country of Denmark. With the events going on in the country it's not surprising that "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark (I, iv, 90). There are many things rotten in Denmark, these include; invasion, death, and treachery.
In Hamlet, The Norwegian army, led by Fortinbras, wants to invade Denmark. This is because of the acts of the old King Hamlet towards old Fortinbras. King Hamlet had slain old Fortinbras in battle
, Hamlet sacrifices his love and closeness to Ophelia for the sake of killing Claudius. Hamlet tells Ophelia “You should not have believed me, for virtue cannot so our old stock but we shall relish of it. I loved you not.” (3.1.127) Later, while the events are not directly related, Ophelia kills herself due to the loss of her father, shattering any chance at the reconcilement of their love.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a complex and multi‐faceted play bringing together many themes.
Shakespeare uses the framework of a REVENGE TRAGEDY to convey the ideas of the human
condition and what it means to be human, appearances vs reality, social indoctrination vs our free
will and the notion of betrayal and corruption. These themes are a reflection on society and
humanity as a whole. They are explored through many characters, with some characters
representing a key idea
Hamlet Grieving His Father’s Death in Hamlet by William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet, is a tragedy that is set back in the Kingdom of Denmark. The play begins with the tragic death of the king of Denmark, King Hamlet. The King, who is Hamlets father and Claudius’ brother, is murdered. At the start of the play Hamlet, his family, and close friends are beginning each of their grieving processes at the King’s funeral. This will soon bring in a domino effect of unfortunate
One of the most debated topics of William Shakesphere's Hamlet is the question of whether or not Hamlet truly loved Ophelia. Was there any room in his sorrowful heart for love? Or was his heart shattered by those he loved and trusted the most? “Hamlet names Ophelia as ‘woman’ and ‘frailty’: is she indeed representative of woman, and does her madness stand for the oppression of woman in society as well as in tragedy?” (Miola, Representing Ophelia: pg 283). At the beginning of this play, Hamlets
husband, Old King Hamlet, she marries almost immediately to his younger brother Claudius. Her relationship and marriage to her previous husband’s murderer causes discomfort and shock to the readers of the play of her fickleness. However it is stated in the beginning of the play that their marriage was that of convenience instead of love, being said that she only remarried for the good of the monarchy, “Th’ imperial jointress to this warlike state” (Act 1.2.9).
Gertrude’s lack of attempt to either
Decay is a gradual deterioration, or the state of declining in excellence, prosperity and health. The unpleasant relationships between many of the characters in Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, are in a state of decay. Images of both disease and decay are used in the play to create the destructing atmosphere, and to further enrich the theme of the reversal of moral order The degradation of Denmark, seen throughout the play is an indication of the moral rottenness that is infecting the state
Revenge: The Demise of Nation
“Evil is always devising more corrosive misery through man's restless need to exact revenge out of his hate” (Ralph Steadman). Hamlet, who recently lost his father who was murdered by Claudius, dedicates his life to revenge after the ghost of his father has told him of the treachery in Denmark. Through the play Hamlet struggles with completing his simple task of avenging his father’s death and murdering his uncle Claudius because Hamlet has to make sure the
In my opinion , I think that Hamlet was more
On the mad side wether than being insane.
Of course he saw a ghost and was acting
completely out of hand about his fathers
death, it was all just an act ! He seemed
Insane to everyone else because once he
figured out who actually killed his father
he felt the need to get payback . He is
Keeping this idea away from everyone
so that he could see if he wants to actually
Seek revenge and how would he do that

Anyhow,this movie is a wonderful love story! It's humorous, sentimental, and touching!!!! It's in the same vein as the movie "The Notebook", the "Vow" & "Love Story". So if you loved any of these you've gotta check it out! And being that it's a love story I cried my eyes out! There's something about true love that is so moving. The love portrayed in this movie is so rare these days. Plus the lead male actor's cute too (is it me or is it not a real romance unless the lead actor is dashing)! LOL! Anyway I give this one 4.9 out of 5 stars!!! It's a NR rating but by U.S. standards it would be PG-13 rating. Plus the lead actor was cute too! It's a foreign film---Korean---so be prepared to read subtitles and not be able to sew or do anything else for that matter. Not to worry though you may just need the break anyway. I hope you enjoy!!!!!

A "Sewing Break" Movie!
Far be it from me to EVER suggest you take a sewing break of any kind (wink)! But sometimes after a hard week you need one. Such was the case for me on today. I've been ripping and running for the last few days and I decided to take a break and just relax my mind. I went looking through Netflix for a good Instant movie to stream and ran across A Moment to Remember. The premise is great and the movie is about "A romance that blossoms between a clothing designer and a cautious young man, but because the two have both been hurt in the past, it develops slowly. One is recovering from an affair with a married man. The other has lived his life alienated and alone". It's funny that the main character is a clothing designer. That was one of the things that caught my eye & interested me.

Are we kidding? Nope. Kids actually get a chance to make their own stop-motion short film. First there’s the script, then storyboarding, and later the design of the set and characters. When the ‘crews’ are finished the pre-production of the film, they will then SHOOT their films and add audio to the final product. Finished films will be screened at a final ‘film festival” and uploaded to YouTube.


The Witches of Gambaga is the extraordinary story of a community of women condemned to live as witches in Northern Ghana. Made over the course of 5 years, this disturbing expose is the product of a collaboration between members of the 100 strong community of ‘witches’ and women’s movement activists determined to end abusive practises and improve women’s lives in Africa. Painful experience and insight come together to create an intimate portrait of the lives of women ostracised by their communities.

Skins | Channel 4 / Company Pictures
Skins - E4's hit show with a huge social following and fan-base - has the perfect viewer profile for a live ShowCaster show. But Channel 4 wanted to do something different...
As a UK first, the idea emerged to invite the cast to the screening of the final episode of Skins - and broadcast the cast watching the screening live to viewers at home. This meant viewers were able to watch Skins on TV - and at the same time see the cast's reaction to the show live on their tablets, smartphones and PCs (with the audio muted). The show was produced with ShowCaster's live production partners, the Social Media Factory.
This represented the ultimate companion screen experience - and was hugely popular with fans at home, generating great feedback and a lot of Twitter activity. There was also a public announcement at the end of the TV show encouraging users to visit e4.com for a further 60 minute web live TV show - where viewers could interact and ask the cast questions, extending viewer engagement beyond the broadcast TV slot.
Online viewers were also treated to a live performance of Rae's latest single - with the opportunity to purchase the track from iTunes.

Work Across Canada Is On Its Way To Economic Recovery
The pandemic caused significant damage to almost every industry, but Work Across Canada is on its way to economic recovery. The Canadian film industry is finally active again after many months of shutdown. The multi-billion-dollar television and film industry of Canada is making progress and moving forward in spite of the challenges presented by the coronavirus.
British Columbia is the hottest spot work across Canada for television and film shoots. The City of Surrey in the province was actually going to set a record for the number of film permits issued in 2020 before the pandemic hit and put a brake on the momentum.
Productions restarted in the province in June once the lockdown was lifted, and professionals were able to get permits. The situation is no longer stagnant and is improving soon. Currently, Surrey has around 40–50 productions ongoing. Film and television projects are taking appropriate and strict precautionary measures when filming.
Moreover, TV and film productions from the United States are also coming back to Canada. They want to avoid the high risks posed by coronavirus to film professionals in the United States. The lack of testing facilities in California has forced film and TV professionals to relocate their shoots to Canada.

Manitoba and Quebec have also let TV and film productions restart. Ontario has also been permitted to start production. Federal and provincial governments in Canada are readily helping to revive film production activities. Canada announced on September 25 that a temporary fund called “The Short-Term Compensation Fund” would support the development of the audiovisual production sector in Canada. The $50 million offered by the fund will make up for the absence of insurance coverage for the interruptions in filming and production.

Technology and the film industry
It is fascinating to see how much technology is affecting the film industry in general.

As two college students majoring in computer and technological fields, we feel that it is imperative to understand how cameras and technology and evolved and their effects on the film industry. The film industry was slow to move away from a reliance on physical formats, due in part to the huge income DVD had generated in the previous decade and the industry’s aversion to anything new or seemingly risky.
The film industry or motion picture industry, comprises the technological and commercial institutions of filmmaking, i.e., film production companies, film studios, cinematography, animation, film production, screenwriting, pre-production, post production, film festivals, distribution and actors, film directors and other film crew personnel.

Hany Abu-Assad’s ‘Salon de Huda’ continues the director’s tradition of questioning himself
LONDON: If a story makes Hany Abu-Assad wake up in the middle of the night, it’s fair to say it’s probably worth telling. The Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe-winning director recalls waking up at 4 a.m. and spending the next four hours drafting the idea for what would become “Huda’s Room,” a drama by tense espionage that will open the Red Sea International Film Festival on December 6 – after a conversation with his wife and longtime production partner, Amira Diab.
“I got this story about a salon that recruited Palestinian girls to work for the occupation secret service by putting them in a shameful situation and blackmailing them,” Abu-Assad told Arab News .
“It was in the papers, and I was struck by it. It stuck in my head. Two years ago my wife wanted to explore something about women in Palestine, and I told her about this idea, ”he recalls. “She asked me what the story was, and I didn’t know. So we slept on it. Then I woke up at 4 a.m. and started writing. During the night my head had to work on it.
“Huda’s Salon” is the tense, character-driven story of Reem, a young mother who visits a Bethlehem business for a haircut and finds herself trapped by salon owner Huda, unless she is. agrees to spy for the occupation. At the same time, Abu-Assad’s film focuses on Hasan’s interrogation of Huda, who begins to understand the gravity of the impossible situation facing a woman also trapped in the shame of her past actions.
Abu-Assad is such a comfortable director with making documentary, biographical and fictional films, but “Huda’s living room,” he explained, could only have been done as a story.
“A documentary would have been impossible. I don’t think victims would want to talk to me because of the issues they would still face if they did. And, of course, the secret services are not going to talk about it, ”he explained. “In fact, one of the only victims who came forward 15 or 20 years ago wrote a letter and then committed suicide. So a fictional story was the only way.
“But the way I shot the film was like a documentary,” he continued. “Most of the scenes are in one shot, where the audience feels like they’re trapped at the same time and place as the characters. We walk with the characters, we sit with them. When there are no mounts, you live alongside them, second by second. You are almost a mirror to them. And it’s also shot with a handheld, which adds to that feeling.
In order to pull off such a feat, Abu-Assad needed actors he could trust to control the scenes, who were able to drive the story for the audience to follow. To this end, the director wrote the roles of actors with whom he had previously worked: Maisa Abd Elhadi (Reem), Manal Awad (Huda) and Ali Suliman (Hasan).
“I called them all after I got the story but before I started the script,” he explained. “I told them the idea and that I wouldn’t write it down unless they were involved – especially Maisa, as she needed to be vulnerable, not only physically but emotionally. It takes courageous actors to do that.
The close-up and often claustrophobic nature of the film is a far cry from the previous Abu-Assad film, “The Mountain Between Us” of 2017, starring Idris Elba and Kate Winslet. But that’s in line with his commitment to pick projects that challenge – and scare – him.
“That’s why I love him. Without challenge, I cannot do this job. It’s tough, but I’ve always challenged myself to go to extremes and discover new things. I don’t want to do another version of the previous “Paradise Now” or “Omar” movies. I have to find something new, and I might fail, but at least I’ll learn.
“Huda’s salon” was quite new, stimulating and frightening for Abu-Assad.
“Making an entire movie in two locations, with three characters, almost always in one shot, with a handheld – which I had never done before – was definitely a learning process. You have no idea if it’s going to work, if a plan is going to work in favor of the story or the characters, ”he said. “But otherwise, you’re working on autopilot. You know what’s going to happen because you’ve done it before, and you know what mistakes you’ve made, so you don’t do them again. It gets boring.
The next step for Abu-Assad – and one of the reasons for his involvement in the Red Sea International Film Festival – is the desire to continue to challenge and learn.
“For the past eight years, I have worked with my wife, and we are excited to explore the Arab world, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, to expand our borders beyond Palestine. We have several ideas, and we want to explore them with producers from the Arab world. I can not wait.


Drama (Theater)/Film: Based on the experiences gathered in the partnership of OSZ TIEM/Volksbühne Berlin in a TUSCH-project (theatre and school) in an online teaching situation, we have already learned, that films and audio plays can replace the drama on stage in COVID-19 times. The nucleus of the drama activities will be a short- or a feature film created by students (screenplay, takes, cut, subtitles, music, ). In addition the whole Musiandra project will be documented in filmed/recorded material.
