Richard Anderson- Idealistic and Tenacious Pursuit of Life
By Nick Thomas
Richard Anderson appeared in over 200 films and TV shows throughout his career. But it’s not just his well-known role as security chief, Oscar Goldman in “The Six Million Dollar Man” that elicits fan questions on the classic film/television convention circuit.
“They always ask about “Curse of the Faceless Man” which we made in 1958 and was my first lead film role,” said Anderson from Los Angeles. “It was a low-budget remake of “The Mummy” two decades earlier, featuring a stone monster rather than one wrapped in bandages. I really just learned my lines and tried not to bump into the furniture.”
Two years earlier, Anderson appeared briefly in the venerable sci-fi classic “Forbidden Planet.” “That was the last of two dozen movies I did for MGM,” he said. “Sci-fi feature films were
rather new in 1956 and it changed the genre forever. The whole movie was shot on one stage and as filming progressed the studio gave us more money and the best production staff. We turned out a first-class movie that’s still impressive today.”
Born in New Jersey and raised in New York, young Dick and his brother Bob were weekend matinee regulars at the 96th Street Motion Picture Theater, absorbed in their favorite films: westerns. “Those stories had heroes and happy endings ~ I really wanted to live in that world,” recalled Anderson, who outlined his career in the 2015 autobiography Richard Anderson: At Last … A Memoir, From the Golden Years of M-G-M to The Six Million Dollar Man to Now co-written with Alan Doshna (see www.bionik.com). However, Richard wasn’t the only celebrity in the family.
“Katharine, my second wife, was the daughter of Norma Shearer and MGM producer Irving Thalberg.” Richard and Katharine married in 1961. He never knew Thalberg who died in 1936, but says he was close to his mother-inlaw. “Norma Shearer was very nice, she liked and respected me,” he said. “She gave us a party when we were married. Judy Garland was one of the guests. Norma had a house on the beach and when we visited her she would talk about her career and how she ‘had it all’ at one time.” While Shearer found fame in film and retired just as television was coming of age in the early 40s, it was TV that made Anderson a household name when “The Six Million Man” exploded on the small screen in 1974 for five seasons.
“It was a show that brought back the hero and happy endings, so I told my agent I wanted the part even if I had to pay the producers to let me do it!” laughed Anderson, who also narrated the show’s famous introduction. The introduction has been touted as the best TV show introduction ever written. As you may recall the words…. “Gentlemen, we can rebuild him, we have the technology,” he quoted. “You can’t imagine how many fans come up to me and repeat those words back to me.”
Anderson was cast as Oscar Goldman, the top executive from Washington, and continued the Oscar Goldman role in three seasons of “The Bionic Woman,” becoming one of the few actors to portray the same character in different television series. When asked why he took so long to write a book about his life; “My answer is simple,” says Anderson who will turn 90 in 2016. “I’m still living it.”
Currently, Anderson is a Board Member of the California Indian Manpower Consortium in Sacamento, California that is helping to educate the American Indian regarding their rightful needs. He is also involved with the Veterans Park Conservancy building a fifteen acre park for returning soldiers in recovery from bombs and bullets at the Soldiers Home in West Los Angeles. Additionally, he is a spokesperson for “Fragile X”, which looks at common causes of mental impairments ranging from learning disabilities to retardation in children.
Anderson is 6’ 3” tall and is a car enthusiast, he feels grateful these days for work, travel, family, friends, and being able to play tennis. He is sure there are a few tennis trophies somewhere around his Beverly Hills home.

Welcome to the Naked Dragon Inspirational Film Circle hosted by Movies by Mills
Each month, Naked Dragon offers a different Inspirational Film for your enjoyment.
Our choice of award winning films is based upon each film’s inspirational message and its ability to connect with our hearts – as well as our minds.
“WHAT THE #$*! DO WE KNOW?!”
This thought provoking film is a radical departure from convention. It demands a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed, not even dreamed of since Copernicus.
It’s a documentary
It’s a story
It’s mind-blowing special effects
This film plunges you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated – where neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived by its protagonist – where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought.
Amanda, a divorced photographer, finds herself in a fantastic Alice-in-Wonderland experience when her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the cellular, molecular and even quantum worlds which lie beneath.
Guided by a Greek Chorus of leading scientists and mystics, she finds that if reality itself is not questionable, her notion of it certainly is. Stunning special effects plunge you into a world where quantum uncertainty is demonstrated – where Amanda’s neurological processes, and perceptual shifts are engaged and lived – where everything is alive, and reality is changed by every thought.
This film gives voice to the modern day radical souls of science, making them the true heroes of our day as they conquer and map the greatest uncharted territory yet – man’s consciousness itself.
During these Inspirational Film Evenings, Movie Therapist Brian Mills will become our ‘Cinema Coach’ as he asks us to examine the films we watch in terms of imagery and narratives…to be aware how we react to the films we are watching…and to understand why some films can leave an indelible image on the screen of our mind.
The evening will begin with an introduction of the featured film, plus a short explanation of how films can have the power to affect us on a deep emotional level.
Brian says, “The watching of films offers us an opportunity to embark on an emotional journey. By viewing the storyline with a new awareness, we are able to recognise and release any emotional blockages that we may have been holding onto from our past”.
The evening will conclude with a question and answer session during which any general questions about film will be invited.
AND IT’S FREE at ALL OUR FILM NIGHTS!!!
Over the coming months, Naked Dragon and Movies by Mills will be screening a wealth of Inspirational Films for you to enjoy. Please sign up for our newsletter or blog up-dates to be kept informed of our latest releases!

Revelation Film Festival Picks: Watch The Sunset
Director: Tristan Barr & Michael Gosden (Damien Lipp as Dir. Of Photography)
Cast: Tristan Barr, Michael Gosden, Chelsea Zeller, Annabelle Williamson
Running Time: 115 mins.
Watch The Sunset should be shown to every budding filmmaker about to embark on their first feature film- as a guideline of how to make an impressive debut.
Watch The Sunset is shot entirely in one take. Remember one must appreciate how difficult this gimmick is to shoot in practice. It takes a lot of takes to get the one take that makes the final cut. The entire script must be worked within the possibility of that one shot. Ever since the success of Alexander Sokurov’s Russian Ark (2002- but the movie feels timeless) there have been an upsurge in movies utilizing this style- Victoria and Lost In London (where Woody Harrelson made his directorial debut), with mixed success.
Watch The Sunset is set in the midst of the ice epidemic that ravaged small town Victoria, and follows one dramatic day in the life of ex-bikie Danny (Tristan Barr, who doubles up as director), who at the spur of moment consciously decides to wash his off hands of the gang lifestyle and hopes to get his estranged family out of the way. However events take a dark turn when his daughter Joey (Annabelle Williamson) is kidnapped by the bikers.
Watch The Sunset lives and dies on its pacing and photography- and on this aspect it does wonderfully- with the dark, bleak lighting reflective of the mood of the film, and its location. On the narrative- the opening half is solid and gripping, but then it loses its momentum as it whimpers to its rather anti-climatic ending. The performances are kinetic, channeling a sense of authenticity as they alternate between screaming at each other and then consoling and reassuring each other. The score by Richard Labrooy is haunting and perfectly enhances the tone of the proceedings.
Damien Lipp and Tristen Barr have delivered a solid piece, if not exactly a tour de force. But it’s worth considering that it’s a perfectly fine movie by filmmakers still on their journey.


What Makes Anime So In Style?Anime has grow to be a phenomena. More and more Anime collection and movies come out annually and the inhabitants of Anime fans world wide keeps on growing as well. Additionally, the popularity of a specific Anime title that became a hit TV sequence often lasts for years. Eventhough the show has ended on the TV station where it was aired, fans will seek for their very own copies of the collection and watch it over and over. One is perhaps wondering: What is the secret behind Anime's success? What does Anime have that usually cannot be found in its Western counterparts? In this article, I am going to attempt to level out a number of the key factors behind the success of Anime.
Thrilling action and complexity draws out a wider range of viewers.
While cartoons, that were made in Western nations primarily targets children as its primary viewers, Anime, however, targets a wider range of viewers. As a matter of reality, a big part of the die-hard Anime fan inhabitants are youngsters and other people of their early to mid 20's. In most cases, while children enjoy the spectacular actions and fight scenes, adults and young adults recognize the complexity of the story and its emotional content. Most Anime series are mixes of comedy, action, and drama.
Major characters grow and develop their skills as the story progress.
In contrast to in most western cartoons, whereby once the hero has established its character there's slightly room (typically none) for improvement, Anime characters develop because the story goes along. A very good instance can be the "Dragonball Z" characters where they even use "power ranges" to show the advance in a personality's combating skill. In the sports Anime titles "Slam Dunk: Group Shohoku" and "Hajime No Ippo", the principle characters learn completely different strategies in every match. Usually, probably the most exciting second in an Super Dragon Ball Heroes episode of an Anime series, is when the villain and the other characters are shocked by the hero's new ability.
Making the viewers be careful for the episodes to come.
Most Anime sequence handle to get the viewers "hooked". By purposely keeping the story hanging at the end of each episode, viewers tend to watch out for the next and they'd never wish to miss out and episode. On most action Anime collection, the battle between the hero and the villain lasts for several episodes while keeping each episode completely different from the other.
Though there are more reasons why fans maintain going after their favorite Anime titles, we have identified three of the commonest factors. (1) It could possibly appeal to more viewers because it purposely targets a wider range of audiences. (2) The way the Anime characters develop and improve gives more pleasure to the viewers. This can also be one of many key factors behind the success of Role-Enjoying Games (RPG). And eventually, (3) viewers are connected to their favorite series because of the way Anime writers deliberately ends each episode by not giving a definite conclusion to the story.


An Ani Difranco video about fatherly hatred. (I don't hate my father, but we don't speak much. He's a middle-aged working class man who likes to buy electronical gadgets, and I like to—you know—think about things.) The Ani-like figure is in the garage when the father (who doesn't look anything like mine—he's actually portrayed by an actor whose name I don't know) gets home, so she shuts the garage door, but then he opens it. Ani is ready to throw a basketball at him, but the door opens only a little—only tall enough for this squat guy who looks like a lawn gnome to waddle through, saying a chipper, "Hello!"
Then everyone had a laugh and there were some behind the scenes clips, and apparently some behind the scenes clips transitioning into another video for the same song (the name of which I've forgotten), but which involved Ani and a young teenage man and a little boy and a girl having five o'clock shadow. The young man was playing guitar a little and singing in his high boyish voice about it, in the last outtake scene. I didn't get to see the second video.

Film Screening of Watermark
November 5, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art Presents Watermark Film Screening, cosponsored by Charleston Waterkeeper.
“An immersive experience, with stunning visual language, that will transform the way we think about water, and our relationship to it”.
– Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Watermark is a feature documentary from multiple-award-winning filmmakers Jennifer Baichwal and Nick de Pencier and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky. The film brings together diverse stories from around the globe examining our relationship with water: how we are drawn to it, what we learn from it, how we use it, and the consequences of that use.
Tickets are $5.00 and can be purchased by clicking here, calling 1-800-514-3849 or visiting the Music Hall Box Office at 37 John Street (843-853-2252).


This class will explore the role of soundtrack and score in musicals and movies, and use Garage Band to create their own short individual themes in response to a movie scene which they will watch minus the sound element. First, however, the students need to become aware of how orchestration can be used to manipulate or heighten a mood; convey cultural identity; establish setting and situation; and even to introduce characters! To introduce students to this concept, they will listen to various soundtrack and musical excerpts (including West Side Story) and guess what they are “about,” then watch the film or stage play scene with the sound and evaluate their expectations vs. the actual movie. Students will also do the reverse, watching excerpts of heavily scored movies without the sound and guessing what orchestration might be used, and why, depending on the content of the scene watched; then watch the film with the sound and compare their suggestions with the choices the composers actually made. In this way, students should be able to explain why we use soundtracks in films; why some stories are made into musicals rather than just spoken plays; and how and why instrumental timbre generates emotional response.


It was a time that changed the world. And one man put it to music. The true story of an unassuming band leader and trombonist, Glenn Miller (played by James Stewart), who got his first break playing his own arrangement of 'Everybody Loves My Baby' at an audition.Screen legend James Stewart and America’s Sweetheart June Allyson star in this delightful tribute to one of the world’s most cherished bandleaders and composers, charting Miller’s rise from obscurity and poverty to fame and fortune as the man whose music would define the ever-quickening pulse of the 1940s. He never looked back. He married his childhood sweetheart and everything he played became an instant hit...songs like 'Moonlight Serenade', 'String of Pearls' and 'Tuxedo Junction'. Hollywood beckoned, and success piled upon success. The toe-tapping score serenades you with original Miller music, performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra and a fantastic line-up of musical guests, including Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Frances Langford, and The Modernaires. Vibrantly directed by Anthony Mann (El Cid), The Glenn Miller Story is a dynamic big-band biopic nominated for three 1954 Academy Awards Best Screenplay, Best Score, and winner for Best Sound Recording.The movie was photographed in gorgeous Technicolor, and has been restored beautifully on Blu-ray. Even though the film premiered in early 1954, and I was only one month old, this movie has a special meaning for me. I remember when my father brought home the LP soundtrack recording, and I fell in love with the music when I was only 4 years old. So I dedicate this screening to my Dad, on my birthday!

By revisiting her past, a young woman realises she can finally move on with her life.
"What happens when one decides to open a door? What happens when we let someone cross the threshold of the door which leads to our intimacy? Lud's short is developed in this context, which speaks about interiors. Interiors in solitude and also shared ones. Sometimes so briefly shared that one fails to realize the miracle. Lud speaks of the nudity of people and spaces, anxieties and desires, the waiting in front of doors that connect to worlds. It tells us about the fragility and longing for permanence, '...I write to stay alive...' And finally it proposes us the path of acceptance on which the enjoyment is possible, if we cross the door to face ourselves. Enjoy the Drama."
By Víctor Carrera,
International Relations & Sales of TV3
"We have been really impressed with 'Enjoy the drama' and we appreciate the way it captures unconscious emotional reactions, as well as its refined cinematography and sapient use of close-ups reminding us of Athina Rachel Tsangari's early work."
By CinéWomen Team,
Digital Magazine of Women's Cinema & Performing Arts
"Love stories always amaze me, even when they end in solitude. Lud Mônaco captures the everyday poetry. Beautiful."
By Tata Amaral,
"An example of intelligent cinema. Its well-crafted staging, poignant script, wise use of voice-over and superb direction of the actresses all make ‘Enjoy the Drama’, written and directed by Lud Mônaco, an instance of brilliant narrative film creation and emotional & dramatic development."
By M-F. Ruiz de Villalobos,
Catalan Film Critic
"'Enjoy the drama' is an exercise with an intense visual style, almost hypinotic, which through the camera movements and a suggestive voice-over, allows us to discover a piece that, as the title suggests, we enjoy the drama that is presented (and Lud enjoys it indeed). Pure talent."
By Jordi Comellas,
Executive Producer and Director of the Zoom Festival
"Both a young and mature film at the same time. The pace of the narrative, the love scenes, the talent of the actresses, the beauty of the editing and the soundtrack all contributed to my enjoyment of the film. It’s a beautiful composition that reveals a talented direction. Watch it, you will like it."

7. DIRECTOR & STATEMENT
Born in São Paulo in 1987, Lud Mônaco is a Brazilian screenwriter & director, whose work explores the female universe. She studied film at the Barcelona Film School (ECIB) and her graduation project 'Para, pero sigue' was awarded best short film at the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival. Names such as Peter Handke were amongst the awarding panel. The film was also acquired by the well-known platform ShortsTV.
Many of her short films have been featured in major festivals, such as the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, Mix Brasil and Sitges Film Festival. Her work has also been showcased in the prestigious Museum of Image and Sound of São Paulo. 'Enjoy the Drama', one of her short films, has been released in a collection by the Peccadillo Pictures. Lud Mônaco has been selected for the Berlinale Talents 2017 and and is currently developing her debut feature film, a tragicomedy set in Portugal.
Based in both Barcelona and London, Lud has recently moved in to commercials, with her first project shooting for Uber. She is represented by Albiñana Films in Spain and Stable TV in the UK.
"Enjoy the Drama" is the story of a girl who decides to relive her memories. She walks into the House of the Past and sets free a collage of moments, without fearing the pain nor the joy it awakens. The lack of ordered memories is in order to transmit the chaos which dwells in the human mind. "Enjoy the Drama" stirs thoughts and arouses questions which can only be examined and answered once the piece finishes. The voiceover is a powerful narrative element and allows deep insights, both through its words and its tone. The protagonist's past consists of a range of emotions shot with freedom and intensity, by a camera that assumes the position of a silent cat inside the house.
"Enjoy the Drama" is a short but intense love story set mainly in the warm interior of a Quebecois house. The "mise en scène" is alive due to both interpreters living each moment the way they feel it. I have relied on the internal movement of the shots to preserve the freshness of memories, and have decided to streamline the narrative through a variety of situations and their inherent moods. The voiceover contrasts with the images to empower the sensations and generate an ambiguous atmosphere. This, I believe, successfully illustrates the feminine universe and its way of loving.

Interview with Lud Mônaco for "The New Current" an UK Arts & Culture site:
DVD Release: 24/07/2017


“Bridge of Spies” is the latest movie to star Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks. He stars as James Donovan — a man who gets tasked by the CIA with saving a Russian spy’s life during the Cold War in 1957. Mark Rylance plays the Russian — Rudolf Abel — who understands the charges against him, but seems so unaffected one may consider him stoic.
The movie requires Donovan to travel overseas to bargain with the Russians, but understands he is to do so as a citizen and not as a representative of the United States. Although many people want “the Russian” to be hanged for what he’s done, Donovan understands the Constitution provides a guideline for how to proceed in Abel’s case.
As usual, Hanks delivers a stellar performance portraying Donovan in such a way that the viewer feels every bit of what he’s feeling, and they understand what he’s thinking — and why — with absolutely no words necessary.
Rylance’s portrayal of Rudolf Abel is excellent because he embodies a man who knows his fate and has accepted it.
Of course, this movie is made better under the direction of Steven Spielberg whose previous productions such as “Schindler’s List”, “Saving Private Ryan” and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” have all proven to be classics.
The extra care of showing detail in scenes such as being on a bus with people who may not like you or a plane being shot down — and the thinking and emotion that come from those experiences — make “Bridge of Spies” a movie that is not to be missed.
“Bridge of Spies” is rated PG-13.

It was released worldwide on Netflix on July 14, 2017.It premiered in competition at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2017, as a contender in the U. When the film was first released on Netflix there was some controversy about whether the film would be triggering for those with eating disorders..Of course, Cole handled the whole thing like a pro. The daughter of English musician Phil Collins and American Jill Tavelman, she was born in Surrey and moved to Los Angeles as a child.


If you’re anything like me, you absolutely detest the cold. Don’t get me wrong, there is something particularly comforting about being hidden under layers of clothing (no need to suck in that gut!), piled under mountains of blankets, with a warm (spiked?) beverage in hand. But outside of those few fleeting moments of fuzzy warmth that one might find at the end of a long winter’s day, as far as I’m concerned, winter can suck it.
Having said that, there is something really cool (pun intended) about watching a movie that can make you actually feel cold. A movie that can – with its sweeping panorama of a snowy mountain or carefully orchestrated snowball fight – make your fingers go numb and your toes tingle. This ability to evoke a kind of visceral, automatic, emotional response is why we keep going to the movies in the first place. To leave us on the edge of our seat, unable to ascertain as to what – or what sensations – will happen next.
With that in mind, these are my go-to movies that have me searching for another blanket, digging out my granny shawl, and stuffing my feet into a, yet another, pair of wooly socks.
These are those that give the true definition of ‘Netflix and chill’.
Twizzlers Top 10:
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
My favorite movie ever. As far as I’m concerned, this movie belongs on every Top 10 List: Top 10 most original stories, Top 10 most innovative cinematography, Top 10 most gorgeous cast…the list goes on and on, but – for the sake of sticking to the script – I’ll just stick to the cold. This movie is chock full of beautiful scenes that evoke the sweet delirium of a winter’s chill: Joel, played by Jim Carrey, and Clementine, played by Kate Winslet, whisper sweet nothings atop the frozen Charles River. In fact, they do this several times: once before Clementine erases Joel from her memory, again after they unknowingly reunite after erasing each other from their memories, and once, only in memory form, inside Joel’s head. I know it sounds confusing, but the movie is brilliant and you, if you haven’t already, should give it a go. Aside from the frozen Charles, snowy scenes spent on the coast of Montauk, images of drizzly window panes, and the ever presence of Joel’s immutable fuzzy cap, all make this movie give its audience the urgency to bundle up tighter, or – at least – to find another to whom you can tightly bundle with.
2. The Shining
No other movie evokes cold like The Shining. A story of a family, isolated and alone, living and caring for the fictional Overlook Hotel during the winter season. No other movie, or story, illustrates more perfectly the feelings of cabin fever; feelings of suffocating and delusional madness. And, while it is true that Stephen King, the novel’s author, was wildly disappointed in Stanley Kubrick’s vision of the plight of the Torrence family, I cannot, nor should anyone else, deny the brilliance of this film. In fact, there is a huge cult following – and a truly bizarre and interesting documentary – dedicated to mining the movie’s underlying messages and themes. I don’t know what is theorized is actually true, but, what I do know, is that this movie will have you feeling a kind of creepy cold to which you’re unsure you’ll ever escape.
As we had previously mentioned in an earlier review, this movie is not without its flaws. But, with that said, what this film does get right is the cold. While it is true I have had this pretty consistent fantasy of one day getting snowed-in whilst staying in a gorgeous mountain lodge – with all the Cheez-Its and wine a girl could want – this movie had me, instead, running for (away?) from the hills. The wintry landscape serves as the unspoken ninth character in this film; a kind of tormentor and tempter unleashing its fury on characters both honest and cruel. But, aside from the grisly, Tarantino-esque action, this film is chock full of gorgeous cinematography and those subtle moments of snowflakes caught in mustaches, the weight of the winter wind outside the door, or the characters’ (temporary) relief of finally getting some warm soup in their bellies just might have you appreciating all the more that of winter’s wonders.
One of my favorite movies ever, this movie, like the blurred vision one comes to expect from a snow blizzard, blends, beautifully and strangely, quaint small-town living and seedy underground crime. A truly memorable film, its location – and the title’s namesake – serves as the perfect background for this truly disturbing movie. Not only is it – or it was, perhaps, at least, before this movie’s (and the subsequent brilliant FX show) release – take place in an arguably forgettable location, it’s association with barren, frozen landscapes serves as the perfect backdrop for the strange happenings unfolding onscreen. Plus, the white snow serves perfectly as the blank canvas to the movie’s climatic scene that involves, let’s say, a pissed off gangster, his newly deceased (and former) partner in crime, and a wood-chipper. Enough said.
5. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009)
As if I needed an excuse to talk about all the reasons I love this movie (and Daniel Craig), The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a great example of a movie that makes you desperately seek out warm refuge. Based on the brilliant novel by Stieg Larsson, David Fincher beautifully (and in true David Fincher style) brings to screen the complex, dark, twisted tale of Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist and their attempt to discover the truth behind a decades old murder. Some of my favorite scenes in both the book and the movie take place on the fictional Hedeby Island, modeled after, presumably, coastal Sweden. The tiny lodge to which Lisbeth and Mikael take shelter is both confining and protective admist the horrors that await them outside. And, while I can go on and on how great the book was and how satisfying the movie was in its adaptation, I’d recommend that you read/watch it yourself (if only to see and truly appreciate the unique gorgeousness of having both Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig together on screen).
6. Snow Day
This is one of those movies that holds a prime place in the deepest realms of my nostalgic heart. While it is true that this isn’t a good movie, it is one that captures perfectly the innocent joys of waking up to discover it is, in fact, a snow day. Even now, as a teacher, there is something truly blissful to be awaken with the awareness that you can, without guilt, hit that snooze button. And, while this doesn’t have Chevy at his best, and while Chris Elliot has an unexplained vengeance against middle-schoolers and a weird obsession with a bird, and while the ‘love’ story of the movie lacks any real emotional depth, and while…well, let’s just say, like a snow day, your enjoyment of this movie will, too, also be fleeting. But, in the mean time, just appreciate it if, for anything, to remind you of the simple joys of having a snowball fight or not having to have your homework done for the day.
Here’s is yet, another, Stephen King masterpiece. That man knows setting. Even now, the mere mention of this movie has me instantly transported back to my parents’ cold basement, wrapped in a blanket, feeling both frozen and frozen with fear. I remember when this made for television series came out. I was 11 and far too obsessed with Stephen King than your average female adolescent. It was featured on ABC in its prime time-slot and I did not miss a single episode. And, still, almost 20 years later, that feeling of a kind of cold, isolating, desperate fear lingers somewhere in the back of my mind. Although I would argue that this is a great movie to watch when you’re snowed-in, unable to escape your house, left to the mercy of the impending storm outside, I would remind you that I’m the girl who has been obsessed with Stephen King and all things macabre before I hit double digits, so, take it with what you will.
Ah! Does it really get any better this movie?! A dark, funny, fantasy-comedy starring Bill Murray, co-starring Andie McDowel (and – strangely enough – Chris Elliot; this guy loves his winter backdrops!), directed by Harold Ramis, and featuring the cherished holiday in which people annually sit around to ‘worship a rat‘. I mean, comedy gold. And, yet, no other movie touches on – so beautifully and whimsically – the subjects of existentialism, self-improvement, enlightenment, religiosity, spiritual transcendence, and selflessness, nor approach so hilariously on the topic of purgatory and suicide. But, aside from all that heavy stuff, this movie has some of the funniest and most quotable lines ever. And, because of the titular holiday spent on repeat, you essentially are never able to escape the cold, literally and metaphorically. The drafty hotel with inconsistent water tempter to which Phil Conners (Bill Murray) must suffer with day in and day out; the hidden frozen puddle in the cracked street he, unfortunately, keeps stepping in; an awareness of the never-ending bleakness and darkness of a ‘Chekov’s winter’ all remind you – and eventually, so too, Phil – that, even in the ugliest of seasons, there is still so much beauty.
It’s amazing to me that this movie, now fifteen years old, warned us – even then and in epic fashion – the dangers of global warming and, yet, somehow, Dennis Quaid and old Bilbo Baggins weren’t enough for us to get our shit together. Still, this movie, in true Roland Emmerich style, depicts the looming dangers of our continual dismissal of the ever-real presence of serious global climate change including flash-freezing, hail storms, rising sea-levels, tornado outbreaks, and massive-flooding that will all have you running for your electric blanket stashed away somewhere in your doomsday-prepper bag. Interestingly enough, the truth villain in that movie is the President, a kind of egotistical buffoon who, out of his own ignorance and refusal to listen to all the smart people heeding their warnings around him, leads to the death and destruction of millions of people. How prescient. Still, while I recognize that such dire warnings are probably better from the mouth of Al Gore and his brilliant documentary, An Inconvenient Truth (though I’m still not convinced he wasn’t behind this movie too), all that it has is Al Gore and what it doesn’t have is young Jake Gyllenhaal (he looks like a baby!). So, I guess, I’ll stick with this one.
10. Harry Potter series (Literally any of them)
I remember (as a child through young adulthood) first reading those defining wintry scenes from Harry Potter: Harry’s first real Christmas presents in Sorcerer’s Stone; our first introduction to Hogsmeade (and butterbeer!) in The Prisoner of Azkaban; the Yule Ball in The Goblet of Fire; Harry’s first kiss (under the mistletoe no less!) in The Order of the Phoenix; Kreacher’s unique Christmas gifts (though, still not the worst he ever received) in The Half-Blood Prince; and, finally (and heartbreakingly) the Christmas Eve spent in Godric’s Hollow in The Deathly Hallows. Having been a terribly imaginative child, the thought of spending Christmas in a snowy magical castle was as close to perfection imaginable. Even now, feelings of Christmas and cold almost immediately conjure up memories of the Gryffindor Common Room, the infamous Weasley sweaters, first discovering the Maurader’s Map, the taste of butterbeer, and precious, precious Dobby. I think, out of every movie I’ve listed so far, I’d happily endure the cold to be among these dear friends and cherished memories.

At long last, the arrival of the 2017 spring musical at SWMHS – “Kiss Me, Kate”. “Kiss Me, Kate” was written by Bella Spewack and Sam Spewack. The musical is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. In the musical Fred and Lilli, the two divorced Broadway stars, decided to star in “The Taming of the Shrew”. While backstage during the musical the divorcees and other cast members run into many problems. From dealing with mobsters to getting a surprise visit from the general of the U.S.A., the musical left you on the edge of your seat.Throughout the course of their performance of “The Taming of the Shrew” it was hard for Lilli and Fred to stay in character, hence a hilarious performance. Also, the two mobsters who are forced to join the cast of “The Taming of the Shrew” give an entertaining performance as they adapt to being on Broadway. The musical debuted on March 24 and continued onto the 25 with a matinee and evening showing. The cast was absolutely spectacular. Everyone in the musical is extremely talented. The dance scenes were outstanding and the leads have amazing voices! Their performance made you feel like you were back in the 1950s with them. The crews beautifully pulled you into this universe with their outstanding props, set, and backdrop. When leaving the theater you were left with a smile on your face and the catchy chorus from the opening number (Another Op’nin, Another Show). Congratulations on behalf of Echo Lites to the cast and crew for a successful spring musical!

Belper's Ritzy Movie Awards
PUBLISHED: 12:46 07 December 2010 | UPDATED: 17:46 20 February 2013
Pictures from Derbyshire's film awards held at The Ritz Cinema, Belper
Following the BAFTA film awards at Londons Royal Opera House and the Oscar ceremony at the Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, all movie industry eyes were focused on 76 King Street, Belper, for Derbyshires own movie awards, the Ritzys.
Now in its third year, the Ritzys is the Belper Ritzs light-hearted antidote to the major award ceremonies that the Ritzys creator, Andy Minion, saw as self-important. At the same time, its an opportunity to raise money for charity this years beneficiary being a Multiple Sclerosis charity and with sponsorship from local solicitors and investment advisors Shacklocks, this years Ritzys were a great success, not least in that one of the winners actually turned up to receive an award. A 100 per cent improvement on last years Ritzys, quipped Andy.
Film, TV and theatre composer Paul Englishby accepted an award for his score to An Education, which also won Best British film and Best Filmmaker (Lone Scherfig). Paul raised his Ritzy high in jubilation, declared the winning feeling as fantastic and applauded the Ritz for its discerning taste in films.
Refreshingly, its the Ritz cinemagoers who decide the award winners from a list of nominations drawn up by film lecturer Andy and the cinemas co-proprietor Amanda Mundin. We have a lot of fun with the Ritzys, says Amanda, but we also value celebrating the many quality films we bring to the Ritz, many of which dont get nominated elsewhere. Before the awards, entertainment was provided by Gypsy Jazz and folk duo No Fixed Abode with John Hodson playing suitable piano fanfares during the ceremony. The bubbly flowed, some lovely frocks were on show, and all the glitz at the Ritz was captured by a horde of paparazzi (well, Ashley Franklin turned up).
Best Film went to Avatar, Michael Sheen won Best Actor for his portrayal of Brian Clough in The Damned United and, in winning Best Actress for her starring role in Coco Before Chanel, Audrey Tautou sent a message saying this is very special, to which she added: I wish my local cinema was as cool as the Ritz.


We all know the motives, features, and characters of horror movies, they are out there to scare us and make us feel creepy. Though, horror movies plots are quite simple and predictable, yet, they impress the audience with their special effects and tense atmosphere. People want to experience their inside fear and take horror movies as a challenge. Horror is a kind of an art, which plays with people’s emotions and this same art gets so disturbing, that they get banned from viewing.
These banned horror movies consisted of some very gory, bizarre, terrifying and controversial scenes. Most of them have never been released and some appeared after many years, with a lot of those disturbing scenes edited.
1. Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
One of the most infamous films, that got banned in over 50 countries, as it revolved around arson, rape, murder, violence, and cannibalism. Barely 10 days after the movies release the director Ruggero Deodorato was charged with several counts of murder, forcing him to admit the film was staged and not snuffed. During the filming, many animals were killed, including a monkey and a big turtle.
2. The Last House on the Left (1972)
This was the master of horror movies, Wes Craven’s directorial debut, which was violent and disturbing, resulting in getting banned all over the world for years. There was a huge argument over this highly controversial film, that stormed for years, especially in the UK, as to what scenes should be deleted.
3. The Evil Dead (1981)
A very low budget film which went on to make a lot of bucks, though, it was a nightmare for the cast and crew. This movie was critically acclaimed but got banned in Germany, Iceland, Finland, Ukraine, Singapore, and many other countries and was one of the first films regarded as a video nasty in the UK.
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
This movie was instantly banned in UK, Brazil, Australia, West Germany, Chile, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Singapore, and Sweden, due to its extremely violent content. But this movie is credited for being influential in giving birth to a number of genre tropes.
5. I Spit on Your Grave (1978)
This was not one of those horror movies, with zombies feeding on humans, but a rape and revenge drama, which contained a 30-minute gang rape scene. Considered as one of the worst movies ever made, that got banned in Ireland, 7 years in Australia and was available only in a few Canadian territories.
A cult film among horror movies shot in West Berlin and was based on a true story of a little girl possessed by a demon. This film received plenty of critical acclaims and Isabelle Adjani won the best actress at the Cannes Film Festival. This movie was heavily edited for US distribution and banned in the UK for years, until 1999.
7. Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975)
This film consisted scenes of sexual torture, unfathomable cruelty, and sadism manifest in the darkest chapters of human history, with a woman shown eating human feces. The director Pier Paolo Pasolini’s was murdered before its release. This film was twice banned in Australia until 2010 and was never released in theatres.It was also banned in the UK, New Zealand, and several other countries. A shopkeeper was arrested for renting the movie in Ohio.


Runtime: 135 mins
Release Date: December 14 (Netflix)
Directed by: Alfonso Cuarón
Starring: Yalitza Aparicio
Marina de Tavira
Diego Cortina Autrey
“Roma” is a film with two surface qualities, which immediately rule it out as something most Americans would want to watch. It is in black and white and in Spanish, requiring those of us who only speak English to use subtitles.
As if it was not already unappealing enough to many people, the story the film tells is a very slow burn. That small flame still manages to build up into a raging inferno as the film reaches its end. This pace works for me, though I understand that it will not for most people because of the intensely personal nature of the film.
Academy Award-winning director Alfonso Cuarón (“Gravity,” “Children of Men,” “Y Tu Mamá También”) chose to shoot the film in black and white because he based the film on certain childhood memories (nearly 50 years old at this point), which he claims to remember in black and white. He wanted the film to be as close to the vision he had in his head as humanly possible. This is a perfectly good reason to shoot his film without color, and though Cuarón has made only films in his non-native language of English for the past 18 years (to massive critical acclaim), he obviously spoke Spanish when growing up in Mexico. Thus, he wrote the script in Spanish.
The story cannot be easily summarized, but it focuses on a maid working for an upper-middle-class Mexican family, that family’s mother and their struggles to raise and care for the family’s children while also navigating some staggering personal and emotional traumas. For those willing to invest their time in “Roma,” they will find it a deeply affecting human drama that will stick with them for decades. One scene in particular, which I will not spoil here, was among the biggest emotional punches to the gut I have ever experienced.
Though I do not speak the same language as these characters, I still feel like I know them intimately. This is thanks to Cuarón’s mastery of his craft, the utter brilliance with which he directs his actors and his gift of packing so much information into an image. Cuarón might just be my favorite director, and “Roma” is unquestionably the best film of 2018.
To those who are intimidated by a black and white, foreign-language film but would still like a taste of Cuarón’s brilliance, I cannot recommend his 2006 masterpiece, “Children of Men,” enough. It is shot in color and in English. There is a scene in that film which is so perfect, it almost overshadows the rest of the film. It must be seen to be believed.
Both films are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
Drew Eckhart is a sophomore history and pre-law major from Edmond, OK. He has loved movies for as long as he can remember but thinks his passion really began when he watched “The Dark Knight” for the first time in theaters. His favorite type of movie blends comedy and drama seamlessly, and he loves great action films. In Drew’s free time, he enjoys reading and playing video games, as well as watching TV and movies. His favorite TV show is “BoJack Horseman” and his favorite movie is “Whiplash.”

London’s theatrical scene can seem a bit moribund if judged by the touristy offerings served up in the innumerable West End theaters, with their wall-to- wall musicals and other populist shows.
Despite appearances, there is a thriving fringe scene in many of the capital’s pub theaters – London’s equivalent to New York’s off-off-Broadway. These “theaters” usually consist of a small room above a pub. They often have only basic equipment, forcing producers into prodigious feats of improvization and putting actors and audience more or less in one another’s laps – all making for some intimate drama.
There’s an eclectic repertoire on offer, too, taking in everything from new plays and adaptations to revues, cabaret, and the occasional classic. Tickets are a snip compared to those at mainstream theaters.
London’s oldest, and still the best-known, pub theater is the King’s Head Theatre, which has graced Islington’s fashionable Upper Street since 1970. It has helped to launch the careers of some of Britain’s most celebrated actors, notching up 30 West End and six Broadway transfers in the process.
The nearby Old Red Lion Theatre, founded in 1979, also has an illustrious pedigree. Other notable venues include the Finborough Theatre in Earl’s Court, which has developed a remarkably big reputation for such a tiny venue, and the Landor Theatre in Clapham, which is known for its offbeat musical productions.

Dramatic function in the play Essay Example for Free
Dramatic function in the play Essay In the play, A View From The Bridge, we are faced with emotions that we have probably all felt or will feel during our lifetime. However, when these emotions are taken to extremes, it could lead to unimaginable consequences. Covered here are some of the more complex and intriguing relationships that shape the whole play, from beginning to end, from the innocent love of a young woman to the dark sinister workings of a mind driven beyond logic and reason. One of the most interesting and complicated relationships in the play is that of Eddie and Catherine. Catherine is Eddies niece through marriage and has been cared and provided for by him ever since her mother died whilst she was still a baby; with a sense of her childhood, her babyhood, and the years and during that time, they have grown very close, Eddie treats her like his own daughter. He likes it when she greets him when he gets home, when she treats him like a father; Eddie is pleased and therefore shy about it However, as revealed later the play, Catherine thinks of Eddie as more than an uncle or a father, she thinks of him almost as her husband; If I was a wife I would now Im supposed to turn around a make a stranger out of him? She was originally talking about Beatrice but towards the end of the sentence, she was talking about herself, putting herself in Beatrices place as though she was the wife that was making s stranger out of the husband. Catherine matches Eddies love for her perfectly, seeking his approval in everything she does, she is eager to please him and is happy when he is happy; You like it? she asks about her skirt, you like it? she asks about her hair. In fact, when Eddie says beautiful she says You like it, huh?; this is a rhetorical question, shes seeking more than approval, shes seeking confirmation, because Eddies opinions matter to her and it pleases her tremendously to see that he likes what shes doing. However, when Eddie says that shes walking wavy and aint all the girls Catherine is very upset; almost in tears because he disapproves. There is a point where Catherine cares too much about Eddies views, from the play, we can tell that she has put off a few of her lifetime ambitions to keep him happy; as Beatrice says: I dont understand when this ends. First it was gonna be when she graduated high school, so she graduated high school. Then it was when she learned stenographer, so she learn stenographer. So what are we gonna wait for now? Eddie has obviously been thinking up all kinds of reasons to keep her at home. He says that he just doesnt want her working with the wrong people and that she should get a good education and go and meet a nice, well-educated (preferably rich) young man and settle down and get out of the working class world.Ã Most of this we can believe, not only does Eddie love Catherine, he is also very protective of her; I know that neighbourhood, B., I dont like it.Ã Maybe Catherine doesnt realize it but all her fondness is what makes him so overprotective of her, she acts like a little child around him; Catherine: He thinks Im a baby. Beatrice: Thats because you think youre a baby. I told you fifty times already and Eddie is so used to that he just cant accept the fact that she is growing up. He likes to come home to her childish antics, he likes to have her waiting on him hand and feet. There may be a slight ego problem when he realizes that Catherines pay is going to be so high, even higher than his if the estimate he gave Marco is a direct correspondence of his salary; But I think you could probablythirty, forty a week, over the whole twelve months of the year.Ã Eddie is obviously not ready to give up the job as the man of the house, metaphorically speaking, hes used to having everyone look up to him. He doesnt take Beatrice seriously and Catherine has always been so childlike and adoring, she sits on her heels beside him. Suddenly, Eddie feels that someone is threatening his position and that concept scares him, its the same fear as when Rodolpho steps into Catherines life, hes becoming the object of Catherines affections, not Eddie. Quite a lot has been mentioned on the boyfriend front; Eddie is unwilling for Catherine to show interest in the male populous; Eddie: Listen, I could tell you things about Louis which you wouldnt wave to him no more. Catherine: Eddie, I wish there was one guy you couldnt tell me things about. Not only does this show that he discourages any interest Catherine develops, he also does it very often, sometimes when Catherine isnt even interested in them, just to be on the safe side. Could there be more to this relationship than just parental concern, care and love? Could it be that Eddie is harbouring some secret desire for Catherine that he is too ashamed to act upon but is enough to make him feel better when she only has him and no one else? A father would be glad if his daughter found love, but a boyfriend would be jealous, and Eddie was certainly not glad when Rodolpho wins over Catherines heart. In the beginning of Act Two, Eddie was drunk and when he came home, he kissed Catherine on the lips. As the Romans said, in vino veritas, which means there is truth in wine, what is normally hidden is exposed as the person loses sense of inhibition and sometimes even logical thought; in this case, Eddies desire for Catherine. Of course, Catherine has already been pretty upset with him already and this was just putting salt to the wound. She didnt admit straight away to Rodolpho that Eddies views were once again affecting her judgement, she asks him the questions that Eddie has been harbouring ever since he arrived and especially after talks about marriage and says that they are her own questions, she even suggests that they go live in Italy because she imagined it would be beautiful but really its just covering up her fear of Eddie, even though she did admit to it; Im afraid of Eddie here. Rodolpho saw right through her, he could see that she was frightened and wanted to get away from Eddie. Rodolpho: My heart dies to look at you. Why are you so afraid of him?Ã At this point, Catherine still feels that Eddies change of mood was partially her fault; I would just feel ashamed if I made him sad. Ever since the beginning of the play, Catherine always seemed to be in constant uncertainty and fear of Eddie, but never of his actions, more of his opinions because it mattered so much to her but since after the kiss, she has developed a physical fear of him, of what he could and would do to her and the people she loved and that includes Eddie himself. Wait outside, dont argue with him Catherine says, wanting to keep Rodolpho safe from Eddie.

This class introduces improvisational physical theatre methods: rasaboxes, and The Expressive Actor to explore character building from the ground up. The Creative Performer is an active investigation into the process of creating believable characters for stage and screen. Because of its versatility it is useful for actors, directors, dancers, musicians, artists and theatre practitioners alike.
The Expressive Actor technique prepares and integrates the actors voice, movement and breath so that each expression is a full-bodied experience. An integrated character is compelling to watch and can respond dynamically and believably to the given theatrical situation.
Rasaboxes trains participants to express eight key emotions first identified in classic Indian theatre:
wonder – pride – fear – sorrow – rage – disgust – love – and joy. “Rasa”is Sanskrit for “essence/flavor” – like a great meal, all great performance has a distinct flavor you can digest. We’ll use breathing, moving, vocalizing, drawing, and psycho-physical movement to create character that is visceral and alive.
Week 1: Actor Awareness for Character Study
Introduction to vocal and physical warm ups through The Expressive Actor, and Rasaboxes techniques.
Week 2: Character Sensation
Working with shape and form – focusing on developing impulse, spontaneity and kinesthetic awareness.
In class 3 each student selects a character & text to work on for next 3 weeks.
Week 3: Character Expression
Working with gesture and character behavior – exploring dynamics and playing actions (Actions: the psycho-physical choices actors make moment by moment to convey the nuances of their character and the story itself).
Week 4: Characters Relating
Improvised scene work for characters relating directly and indirectly with other characters and situations.
Week 5: Character Composition
Solo and Scene creations – Final showings.

When it’s Patrick Swayze saying that line, you know he means it. Dirty Dancing has been that one movie I can watch repeatedly and never tire of.
There are so many beautiful moments in the movie from Jennifer Grey holding a watermelon while watching the others dance, to learning how to dance herself, her relationship with her parents, trying a lift in the lake with Patrick Swayze and falling over each time, the slow sexual dance on Cry to Me, to the culmination dance with Patrick leading the way on (I’ve had) the Time of my Life with the final lift, Jennifer Grey looking like a complete doll and Patrick Swayze the ultimate heartthrob.
I must have been seven years old when it was released and I remember it like yesterday. The cast of characters portrayed their roles so naturally in a very 80s kind of flavour. The music was epic my favorites were well all of them but I could not get enough of She’s like the Wind because it was sung by Patrick himself, Stay and Hungry Eyes. The dance choreography by Kenny Ortega was brilliant.
One bit of movie trivia many Dirty Dancing fans may not be aware of: That the lake was frigid. In fact, Ortega says Grey ended up going to the hospital for hypothermia. “You’d never know it from the glee and the smile on her face, but in fact it was not an easy scene to shoot,” says Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote and co-produced Dirty Dancing. But the cold water did not deter Ortega; Bergstein remembers the choreographer got in the lake with Swayze and Grey.
Over the years we would watch the movie endless times on television and it would be like reliving the moments for the first time.
Dirty Dancing even though the name suggests something sexual is for me a movie filled with innocence, grace, timeless music and beautiful sweet energy. It is a story of summer.
Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic drama dance film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino. Starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, it tells the story of Frances “Baby” Houseman, a young woman who falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle (Swayze) at a vacation resort.
The sink and the dishes spent the weekend there
Should clean up the place, but I just don’t care
Tonight, I’ll be talking to the moon and that star
Maybe they’ll tell me where on Earth you are
Oh no, where are you tonight? (Tonight)
I’ve got to know, where are you tonight?

Let me just say this right now: I’m not a fly by the seat of my pants kind of girl. I like plans. Concrete “Let’s meet here at this time and that’s that” kind of plans. So to be met last night with not-so-firm plans, was kind of stressful for me. But I didn’t freak out (at least not to him…my sister got an earful though) and I didn’t even mention it to him. There may be time in the future for my crazy neurosis to shine through, but not on the third date. And it all worked out in the end, so it’s fine.
We ended up just hanging out at my place with pizza and a movie, chatting and getting to know each other better (not THAT better, dirty minds!!!). I was sooooo tired, so it ended up being a nice way to spend an evening, rather than being out and about. We didn’t set any concrete plans for our next date (sigh), but I texted him this morning to see if he wants to get together this weekend. And the clock begins: how long will it take to respond?
The movie was Dark City, with Rufus Sewell, Kieffer Sutherland and Jennifer Connolly. The plot is complicated, but basically Rufus wakes up with no memory, and proceeds to encounter these strange creatures (oddly enough, called the Strangers) who can do weird things with peoples lives. I had trouble following it at times (perhaps I was distracted 🙂 ), but it was ok. A lot of parallels with other movies, like The Matrix and Coneheads (the appearance of the Strangers).


Here goes nothing!!!
So this week was our first major challenge of making Vengeance. We filmed our first action set piece of the film, it involved 3 stunt performers and our lead, Sukie. I've filmed a few fight sequences of over the years but most were insanely quick and onlu made up of a few moves. With Vengeance one of the areas we really wanted to work on was the level of action we are able to do. Wasteland was not an action back film, it was never meant to be, but we have fun doing the action that there was, now we wanted to go bigger and more complicated. That said it had to be right for the story of the film.
First things first
We met up with our fight co-ordinator and had a walk through the location we were gonig to do the fight in. This was a really insightful process as there were lots of great ideas flying area, some of them had to be rightfully dismissed as it would change the lead character into something he's not. It just wouldn't fit to have him go from an everyday man to someone who was an expert in Parkour or suddenly change the fighting style that we wanted to establish. We blocked through each of our action set pieces and everything was starting to look good. Now all we needed was to rehearse.
Day of the fight
The first mistake I made was thinking that I could shoot anything other than the fight sequence in the time I had available. So we spent some time filming a few set up shots to establish where the lead character was. This put us behind. Not a great start for my first major action sequence, but we got thse shots out of the way and we were ready to get stuck in. The first shot of the fight. We set the lights. Set the camera on a dolly track to push in as the fight begins. We rehearse both camera move and the fight. It's looking good, but the timing is a little off. We rehearse again, and again, and again. Suddenly fear sets to creep in as I look at my watch and see that time is slipping away. "Let's start rolling I say" I think I was thinking that if we are filming something then its better than not filming anything. An hour races by and we still haven't got past the first part of the fight. It was all coming down to the lining up of each of the hits and if they didn't look right then they won't sell in the finally film. Sukie was doing incredibly well but this was the first time he's done anything like this as well. I was starting to worry that tiredness could play a factor. I discuss the scene with the fight co-ordinator and we agree to reduce some of the choregraphy and focus on getting what we can looking great as aposed to a long and poorly excuted fight sequence. We finally get past the first sequence and move onto the next. By this time Sukie is starting to come to grips with what he's doing and looking more and more the part. Thing's speed up a bit and we start to get back on track. The relentless speed in which we are film is making my head spin at this point. I also feel I should point out that up to this point the crew who are makeing this film are me and me director of photography AJ, and that it. We have been contacted many times by people who are interesed in being a part of what we are doing only to disappear and never turn up when it come to shooting. AJ did an outstanding job, again, filming fight sequences is something he hadn't done before either. At the end of the night we are exchusted but we feel like we've got some good stuff ready to be edited into the film.
