During that time, he lived in an apartment at 1402 Avenue K, between East 14th and 15th Streets. He was Nicknamed “Red” because of his red hair; he impressed students with his extraordinary talent at card and magic tricks.

He is best known for light comic roles, especially as a musician on the run from gangsters in Some Like It Hot with Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe.

His paternal grandmother, Renia (later known as Renée), also moved to Brussels, where she first met Sam, with the couple marrying in 1923. Hitler’s invasion of Belgium in May 1940 as part of the Nazis’ Western Offensive split the Miliband family in half: Ralph and father Samuel fled to England, while Ralph’s mother Renée and baby sister Nan stayed behind for the duration of the war. They were not reunited until 1950. Married, wife’s religion unknown.
13.Adam Richard Sandler, (born September 9, 1966) is an American comedian, actor, musician, screenwriter and film producer.

14.Dustin Lee Hoffman, (born August 8, 1937) is an American actor who has had an active career in film, television, and theatre since 1960. He first drew critical praise for the 1966 Off-Broadway play Eh? for which he won a Theatre World Award and a Drama Desk Award. This was soon followed by his breakout movie role as Ben Braddock in the 1967 film The Graduate.

17. Daniel Day-Lewis
Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis (born 29 April 1957) is an English actor with British and Irish citizenship. He is known as one of the most selective actors in the film industry, having starred in only four films since 1997, with as many as five years between roles. He is a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles. Often, he will remain completely in character for the duration of the shooting schedule of his films. Day-Lewis was born in London, the son of actress Jill Balcon and the Irish born Poet Laureate Cecil Day-Lewis. His mother was of Baltic Jewish descent, the daughter of Sir Michael Balcon, who was the former head of Ealing Studios. Two years after his birth in London, the Day-Lewis family moved to Croom’s Hill, Greenwich, where Daniel grew up along with his older sister, Tamasin Day-Lewis, who later became a documentary filmmaker and television chef. Cecil Day-Lewis was already 53 years old at the time of his son’s birth, and seemed to take little interest in his children. Following frequent health problems, he died when Day-Lewis was 15, leaving him feeling unsettled about his lack of emotion, and regretted not having been closer to his father. Living in Greenwich, Day-Lewis found himself among tough South London kids and being Jewish and “posh”, he was often bullied. He mastered the local accent and mannerisms and credits that with being his first convincing performances. Later in life, he was known to speak of himself as very much a disorderly character in his younger years, often in trouble for shoplifting and other petty crimes.

Third time lucky - welcome to edition número tres of The Reel!
Estimated reading time: 5 mins 56 seconds.
And the winner is… diversity! Well, in two categories. On Sunday night Parasite took home Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars, a welcome alternative to the favourite 1917.
Few people saw this coming, except for me. I accurately predicted the top 10 major Oscar winners in a public post three weeks ago - see it here if you don’t believe me. Poor Saoirse goes begging once more, but it’s hard to argue with the results (except Best Supporting Actor - more on that later).
Happy Valentine’s Day (tomorrow)! People complain about this holiday being “fabricated by a corporation” or “not even a real holiday.” But to them I say, every holiday was made up by someone at some point. Except, of course, the Midnight Dance of Tears and Flesh, in celebration of the dark lord Bilgamesh.
In the spirit of Valentine’s/Bilgamesh, let’s take a look at some romcoms!
This week: Romance, Willem Dafoe, and our hero is faced with a difficult choice.
👫 Sex friends without strings.
No Strings Attached (2011), film, directed by Ivan Reitman.
Friends with Benefits (2011), film, directed by Will Gluck.
2011 was a blessed year in cinema. The powerful & predatory men who rule Hollywood decided that we were worthy of not one, but two inane romcoms about hot young 20-somethings with cool jobs who try to have casual sex without falling in love! Truly you spoiled us, Herr Weinstein.
No Strings Attached and Friends with Benefits are so similar that it’s genuinely a surprise one is not just an extremely soon remake of the other.
Just look at their descriptions on Netflix:
This must be doctored, you say? Surely, these can’t be two separate films? You are deceiving us, monsieur Le Reel!
Alas, friends, I shit you not:
The fonts have the same colour scheme, and the films are even the exact same length. It’s so ridiculous that I briefly suspected No Strings Attached must have been an elaborate Punk’d by Ashton Kutcher on his co-star Natalie Portman.
But the question begs, are they any good? Well, I started with No Strings Attached, and the simple answer is no. Revolving around Kutcher’s aspiring writer Adam and Portman’s highly-strung doctor Emma, this was Portman’s first role after Black Swan. She was somehow funnier in a ballet-horror freak fest than she was in this.
ABOVE: Greta Gerwig looking at Natalie Portman like the Academy looks at female film directors.
Ashton Kutcher tries his best, but they have about as much chemistry as I sat for the Leaving Cert, i.e. none. Some talented supporting actors are wasted, and so were the 109 minutes I spent watching.
Friends with Benefits (Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake this time) I’ve actually seen before, when it first came out, and I remember thinking it wasn’t bad. However, I also used to think Conor McGregor was a national treasure, so a lot can change in a few years.
ABOVE: Interstingly, Mila Kunis is now married to Ashton Kutcher, and Justin Timberlake and Natalie Portman are now father and son.
Another two impossibly good-looking singles with cool jobs (executive headhunter and art director? Come on) fall in love against their wishes, but this is somehow more palatable than No Strings. Their romance is more believable, the conversations are slightly less cringe, and the soundtrack is a few degrees better.
Look out for: The supremely talented Lake Bell steals the show in No Strings Attached. You could (and should) play a drinking game with the amount of product placement in Friends with Benefits - Sony and GQ feature more than the co-stars.
If you liked this: Crazy Stupid Love also came out in 2011, and is better than both of these combined. More com than rom, Lake Bell’s directorial debut In a World… is a brilliant stay-in watch.
Rating: No Strings Attached ⭐ Friends with Benefits ⭐⭐
🎯 You can’t be serious?
Long Shot (2019), film, directed by Johnathan Levine.
What do you get when you take Knocked Up and make it even less plausible, then add a political twist? Long Shot. I know that actors and characters are two separate things, but when I saw Seth Rogen was starring in this film about an unlikely romance between himself and Charlize Theron, I immediately thought:
“How is the bearded guy from Knocked Up still punching so far above his weight, and how are we still paying to watch him do it?”
However, that is an outdated way of thinking, and this film is somewhat enjoyable. Long Shot takes jabs at both sides of the American political system while crafting a love story between powerful presidential candidate Charlotte and her one-time babysittee, journalist Fred. It’s about as tame as a supposedly “politically-charged” romcom can be, but the theme is a welcome wrinkle in what was an otherwise samey year for romantic comedies.
ABOVE: “Netflix! Stop giving us weak content that is incredibly easy to consume!”
There was actually one moment I found bizarrely emotional, where Fred is whispering “I am worthy of love” to himself while a much better-looking suitor dances with Charlotte. I was shook for about 3 seconds, then remembered what I was watching.
There’s a lot (and I mean a lot) better out there, but it wasn’t the worst film I watched in the last two weeks. However, after No Strings Attached, that’s not particularly hard.
Look out for: The opening undercover scene is the best in the whole film, and Charlize Theron is (as always) a class act.
If you liked this: It’s the lazy recommendation, but Knocked Up really is a modern classic. For an infinitely better (non-comedic) narrative on a presidential campaign, watch George Clooney and Ryan Gosling in The Ides of March.
Short and snappy reviews for a short and snappy time:
The Lighthouse (2019, film, dir. Robert Eggers): ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here be Willem Dafoe, talkin’ like a sailor and squintin’ like one too! I’m not a horror fan, but this is a gripping and freaky watch. Dafoe was criminally overlooked for Best Supporting Actor this year (not just nomination, this is a better performance than Brad Pitt’s in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Extremely Little Happened…).
Platoon (1986, film, dir. Oliver Stone): ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Here be Willem Dafoe, talkin’ like a solider and killin’ like one too! Also note a young, relatively sane Charlie Sheen in a leading role. Immense war film that gave us every gym bro’s favourite Halloween costume:
Iconic Characters/Breaks Down Career (2017-, YouTube series, GQ & Vanity Fair): ⭐⭐⭐ - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pupils studying BTEC Performing Arts at Queensmead House School recently watched a play, ‘Teechers’ at South Hill Park in Bracknell.
The performance was incredible and revolved around three school leavers who put on a play about their own school, making it relatable and inspirational, providing the aspiring performers with lots of ideas for their own production. Witnessing the play in action helped them to visualise how they could bring their own play to life.
Attending live productions exposes pupils to professional standards of acting, stage design and production values, helping broaden their horizons and set higher standards for their own work.
A great and inspirational experience was enjoyed by all.


We all watched the Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s a great movie and now we can watch the 4th part. If you like it then it’s time to have a look at the Pirates home cinema by Elite HTS. As the Pirated theme is very popular today, they decided to create an extravagant home theater system in Palm Beach, Florida. It looks like an imaginative cross between a 17th – century drinking hole and a regular theater. Bobby Bala, President and CEO of Elite Home Theater Seating says that they wanted their clients to feel like kids again, and escape into the fantasy world of their favorite films so that the cinematic experience may be vastly deepened. So, no matter if you liked the film or not, – order this design to feel a kid again.


Edinburgh is being featured in film and television in a seemingly ever increasing amount of on screen locations. From big screen movies such as Avengers Infinity Wars to period dramas. The latter is very much the case for a new production by the makers of Downton Abbey.
We hear this interesting new development from the excellent Scotsman newspaper publication, the link to which is here.
So come to Scotland and see the wonderful New Town area of Edinburgh, dining in the award winning restaurants and think about touring Scotland from your Edinburgh hotel base.
Email firstname.lastname@example.org to ask about dates and the most appropriate hotel for your stay in beautiful, historic Edinburgh, Scotland.


I’ve read many classic film blogs. And I have been inspired by their thoughts and points of view. I am not a writer. I love classic film and I’m very passionate and knowledgeable about the subject. I also enjoy and passionately follow certain current televisions shows. So my thoughts could run the gamut. I don’t want to limit myself. I hope my thoughts and observations concerning classic film or any other subject for that matter. Will be met with thoughtfulness and open-mindedness.
I am now past the point of rambling on. So I will stop. At least for now. Until next time…..


Não se trata (aparentemente) de uma Janela Indiscreta mas é um projecto interessante. Da nossa janela podemos ver o decorrer de outras vidas, noutros prédios, quando as pessoas que neles vivem se julgam longe de olhares indiscretos.
See what people do when they think no one is Watching
is the tagline that they have used to describe the experience that starts in the streets of New York City, behind the countless windows that we pass everyday. It comes together in a silent film that will be projected on the side of a building, and extends to the HBO channel, HBO on Demand, and online at HBOVoyeur.com. There are also “artifacts” of the characters everywhere, pieces of story which have been sprinkled around the web and in the real world to heighten the experience for those who like to get involved. However it is experienced in whichever medium, the point of the HBO Voyeur Project is to get the viewer to confront the uncomfortable question: “Do You Like To Watch?”

Becoming Jane (2007)
Events from the life of the author Jane Austen inspired this romantic historical drama, which speculates of a romance that may have had a significant impact on her life and work. Twenty-year-old Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is the daughter of Rev. Austen (James Cromwell), a minister who looks after a flock in a small rural community in Southern England with his wife (Julie Walters). While her older sister, Cassandra (Anna Maxwell Martin), is engaged to be married, Jane resists her family’s efforts to match her up with Mr. Wisley (Laurence Fox), the wealthy but dull nephew of Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith), a minor member of the British nobility. Jane has the heart of an artist, and hopes to distinguish herself as a musician or a writer, though her parents don’t think much of her prospects. When Jane meets Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy), a young man her own age, she’s intrigued; while he scoffs at her writing style, he clearly sees she has talent, and is eager for her to learn more of the larger world by exposing her to more daring literature and modern pastimes such as boxing. As Tom begins to court Jane, she finds herself increasingly attracted to this poor but keenly intelligent man, though she soon realizes her own ideas about love and marriage are sometimes at odds with the conventions of the society in which she lives.
Rated PG for brief nudity and mild language. (edited for re-rating; was PG-13)
Runtime: 120 min
Company: Ecosse Films
Film Faith Review by Katie Todd
Film Title: Becoming Jane
Director(s): Julian Jerrald
Original release form/venue: Theatrical release in August 2007
Current Availability and formats: DVD, Netflix
Genre: Biography, Drama, Romance
Story elements: This is a biographical film about Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) before she becomes a popular writer, when she is a young woman and has a romance with a poor young lawyer. Jane is looking for romance, but
her mother wants her to marry a wealthy Mr. Wisley. Mr. Wisley proposes to Jane but she turns him down in search of a romance with Tom LeFroy, a poor “wild” law student in London from Ireland. Throughout the film, Jane is writing her stories and tells her mother that she will eventually “live by my pen,” which is unheard of for a woman to work much less write. Jane and Tom make plans to elope but Jane finds out that his poor family depends on his financial assistance from his wealthy judge uncle who will no longer help him if he’s married to Jane. She returns home and apologizes to Mr. Wisley and attempts to reconcile with him, but he is hurt that she would not give him a chance at loving her. They decide to part as friends, but Mr. Wisley’s wealthy aunt is disgusted by Jane’s behavior and refuses to attend the church services at Jane’s dad’s church. Jane’s family stands by her and so does Mr. Wisley to his aunt’s shock and disapproval. The film fast forwards to Jane as an accomplished writer, flanked by her brother and his wife, cousin Eliza. Jane runs into LeFroy and is introduced to his daughter, Jane, who insists on a public reading from the recluse and private author.
Film Language elements: The film is done as a period piece to the younger years of Jane Austen’s life so; setting, dress, dance and music are all important factors in this film. The story is told through Jane’s point of view as an
omniscient narrator looking back on her life, but also through the lens of her writings. Color is important in the costumes of the characters, as those who wear lighter colors are ones who don’t have to do any work to make a living while those in darker colors have chores and work to do to make ends meet. The editing incorporates a lot of Jane Austen’s published works in the film life of the young author. Many of the camera angles are shot from Jane’s perspective, so the camera is clearly hand-held and a bit less fluid than steady shots.
Audience/Cultural Context elements: This is very much a family-friendly film, as it is a period piece and carries a rating of PG. It is appropriate for all ages, however younger children will have some difficulty understanding the language used in the film, especially the portions of Jane Austen’s writings that appear frequently throughout. The intended audience appears to be Jane Austen fans as well as historians. The film does a good job of portraying Jane Austen’s life and work without being too directed toward just female audiences. Given the period nature of the film, the social and economic context surrounding the film is that of the time – women were expected to participate in arranged, financial agreements for marriage in order to better the status of their family life. While there is not much shown about “poverty” it is discussed, and a class-based society is quite evident in the film.
Theology is found: While Mr. Austen is a preacher and some scenes take place in church, theology is mostly brought to the film by the viewer. The theology portrayed in the film is mostly societal based about women’s behaviors and cultural expectations.
Theological themes for conversation: Family & life in community; Sin, Pride & broken humanity; Romantic love v. agape love
Suggested type of conversation: This film should be used as an illustration or example of the theological theme of belonging to a family and life in community. It can be used either in part or in whole.
Recommended Ways to view and engage the film: If the film is not used in whole, I would use the final few scenes where Jane is rejected by one member of society but welcomed back openly into the arms of her own family. Other family-based scenes are the care provided Cassandra after her fiancé’s death, and also Jane’s breaking off of the elopement with Tom because his family relies so heavily on his financial support. Specific chapters/scenes for viewing include:
Scene 11 – News from Abroad
Scene 13 – Family Obligation
Scene 14 – She Has a Family
Scene 15 – Old Friend
Concluding or summary remarks: Due to the reliance of this film upon the works of author Jane Austen, some of the language used is harder to grasp for younger viewers. Some “translations” may need to be provided. Also, it would be really unique if in discussions of the film, the teacher was able to provide examples from Austen’s published works for the viewers to see and read in discussion with the film.

A Really Rotten Movie
This seems to be our weekend for "enjoying" really rotten movies. First, there were the Star Trek DVDs we watched at home. And today we watched Dragon Wars at the local theater. There were only two good things about this movie. The first was that we amused ourselves greatly making snide remarks through the entire viewing. And the second was that it was a matinee, which made it slightly less painful that we actually paid for the experience.


Trying to post some of these old reviews here...
This was my second visit to Singin' in the Rain and a very impromptu one for that matter. I found earlier on in the day that Charlotte Scott, the understudy for the female lead, would be playing Kathy Selden that night and of course I had to go and support Charlotte. For those of you who haven't read my blog before, Charlotte used to be one of the understudies for Glinda in Wicked and she is a phenomenal triple threat performer. This was my opportunity to see the show again as well which I had planned on doing because when I went to see it in August last year, I had a balcony seat and could see very little.
Performance: Tuesday 9th April 2013 at 19:30
Seat: Row F Stalls, bought just before the show for £25
Cast included: Matthew Malthouse (Don Lockwood, u/s), Stephane Anelli (Cosmo Brown), Charlotte Scott (Kathy Selden, u/s), Jennifer Ellison (Lina Lamont), Peter Forbes (R F Simpson)
This time round I had a brilliant seat which was just out of the catchment area of the splashes so I had great fun sitting and watching everyone in front of me getting wet (for those of you who don't know, this West End production has actual rain falling on stage and the actors enjoy kicking the water into the audience so if you sit in the first 3-4 rows, you tend to get wet). The tourists, to begin with blissfully unaware of what they had put themselves in for by sitting at the front, were the most entertaining.
Plot summary (the plot closely follows that of the 1952 film of the same name): Set in 1927, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a famous on-screen couple during the silent film era in Hollywood. According to Don, their relationship is strictly professional despite Lina's objections and the wedding rumours circulated by fan magazines. Don bumps into Kathy Selden, an aspiring actress with both singing and dance talent, and falls for her, which Lina certainly is not pleased about. At the same time, the audiences are going crazy about the newest invention in the film industry, the 'talking picture'. Will Lockwood&Lamont, who have up to now been known for their looks alone, be able to continue satisfying their fans? And what about Kathy?
|Poster for the West End production. (Source)|
Charlotte did a wonderful job as Kathy. It was great to see and hear her performing again. She really does have an exceptionally beautiful voice and I have never seen her tap before so that was new. She and Matthew, who played Don, had a lovely chemistry between them. Stephane Anelli as Cosmo did an excellent, hilarious performance of Make 'em Laugh, one of my favourite songs from the show. Frankie Jenna's dance solo also deserves a mention as I was in total awe of her. In terms of Lina Lamont, I had really enjoyed Katherine Kingsley's portrayal of the character back in August and I knew topping that would be quite impossible. That is one difficult part to play, I must say. She is one of those unintentionally funny characters, funny without realising or thinking she is funny, so if you try to play her funny or over the top (which is also very easily done), it doesn't work. Katherine Kingsley, for me, found the perfect balance.
I do recommend this show both for those people who have seen the original film and for those who haven't. Seeing a musical live is an experience on a whole new level to just seeing something on a screen. Watching it rain inside is a surreal experience for a start. Singin' in the Rain is currently on a UK tour.


By Melissa Ross
Nice Girl offers us hope and the possibility of change. It is a play with humor and profound feelings.
The play is about something most of us have asked ourselves and the Director does ask the question, "Why is my life not what I thought it would be when I was eighteen?"
The press release summary: Its 1984 and Josephine Posen finds herself stuck in her job, her spinsterhood, and her mom's house at age 37. But when a friendship and a budding romance bring her the possibility of change, she takes tentative steps towards a new life with one powerful word: Yes!
The play is set in 1984 in a suburb South of Boston. Being a "nice girl" means, says Director Lauren Shouse. "Meeting societies expectations and upholding familial obligations, being polite and pleasant, and staying in your place.
The director asks, "Why is the play relevant today?" The answer: probably that it asks a deeply human question. The course our lives have taken is a puzzle of human nature. The play is emotionally ambivalent about that.
The playwright gives us no pat answer to that puzzle. The play is open-ended, as are many things in life.
The performance of Nice Girl at Raven theatre is its Chicago premiere. It was first produced in New York City in 2015.
The picture of Melissa Ross shows a young woman. She is prolific, since she has written five plays. She is a graduate of Vermont's Bennington, and the Lila Acheson Wallace Playwriting Program at the Juliard School.
Thanks to Director, Lauren Shouse for a great production. The actors gave strong and powerful performances and the play left me with profound emotional questions.
Nice Girl will be produced now through March 11 at Raven Theatre, 6157 N. Clark St. at Granville Ave. in Chicago. Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30, Sunday at 3pm. Tix from $32 - #46. 773-338-2177 and at raventheatre.com

Some of the biggest MCs the UK has to offer have taken a starring role in the first-ever grime movie Against All Odds. Broadcast as part of a revival of the trailblazing grime TV station Channel U, the film is directed by Femi Oyeniran and Nicky “Slimting” Walker and is set against the backdrop of an early millennium London as an up-and-coming MC attempts to make a name for himself among the burgeoning grime scene – something that is now one of the most powerful British cultural forces. In its tribute to the grassroots nature of the movement, it also re-imagines some of the defining moments in the genre’s sonic and aesthetic history, such as Lord of the Mics and Young Man Standing. Look out for guest appearances from D Double E, Ghetts, Jammer, Diesel, Maxwell D, Ozzie B and Bruza.
The soundtrack itself features original music from D Double E, TRIGGZ, Maxwell D, Capo Lee, Novelist, So Large, Bruza and Tempa T and can be streamed or bought here. Check out the trailer for Against All Odds and keep an eye out for a re-broadcast on Channel U.


I've been wanting to give Twilight another chance, so I watched it again Friday night. Perhaps my first critique was a little rash. I still feel it was a condensed version of the condensed version of the book, but it was an OK movie. I actually enjoyed it a little the second time around.
I think what I enjoyed was that I knew more about the characters. You don't get to know all of Edward's family until the subsequent books. So the eccentricities of each of them don't make much sense in the movie. But for me, it was comical to see Jasper looking nervous all the time and knowing why.
So, if you have 2 1/2 hours to kill on a Saturday night, I suppose I would recommend it. But, on the same token, if you have 2 1/2 hours to kill on a Saturday night, start reading the book. I really think you'll enjoy it.

Food For Thought


Okay . . .
Let me first admit, I knew nothing about The Fault in Our Stars before going to see it. I did not watch any previews; I just knew it was based on a fairly popular novel and had something to do with cancer. I knew it was supposed to be a fairly emotional, chick-flick type movie, based on all the social media blurbs I happened to come across. What pulled me in initially was some strong acting choices, along with its link to solid source material by author John Green, and a surprisingly positive critical response.
Fault details the story of a teenage girl, Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley), who fights lung cancer. Her symptoms are generally controllable, but she wears tubes, totes an oxygen tank, and limits her physical exertion to cope with the disease. Upon the urging of her parents to fight depression and isolation, Hazel attends a support group for cancer patients. Through this group she meets a cancer survivor and amputee names Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort). The rest of the story narrates their relationship and common struggle.
Any storyteller has a choice in how they tell sad stories. It is perhaps best to apologize and simply tell the truth.
These are the first lines we here Hazel, who narrates the whole movie, say as she lies on her back staring at the sky. I will try to keep most of the details of the storyline vague, but the film does not shy away from the troubling reality of its subject matter. What was even more striking to me about the way the story is written is how the characters grasp the reality of their sickness. Hazel and Augustus joke about their condition often, which struck me initially as insensitive. But the fact is – this IS the real story. They know who they are and what reality is for them. We all know cancer is awful, but their struggle is about how they choose to live with the knowledge that life may end sooner for them than they’d like.
I’ll admit, I was ready to be worked over by this movie. I was ready to have it conveniently pull every heartstring to get a good cry out of me, and I expected the plot line to seem a bit too contrived for a convincing, non-cheesy narrative. I did struggle with the first 30 minutes or so, but by the time the story really got moving, I was bought in. The real credit for this should go to Woodley. All the other actors do a fine job, but her genuine-natured lead role keeps everyone else on track and allows us to ignore most of the fringe distractions.
What we’re given is an honest look at embracing hard facts. We get to see both Hazel and Augustus cope with the harsh and revel in the splendid. There is nothing about this movie that should blow you away; it’s simply a good story about love, bravery, and risk. It’s witty, sarcastic, and, somehow, very sensitive all at the same time.
One of my favorite scenes shows Augustus putting a cigarette to his mouth. Just as Hazel is about to write him off for being an idiot, he tells her this:
It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don't give it the power to do its killing.
And that’s just what this movie is about: you get to choose what you let hurt you.


Interviews with Barbara Loe Fisher, president of the National Vaccine Information Center, as well as over a dozen other experts on the subject will be featured. It's hoped this will open some eyes on the dangers of vaccination and encourage some rational dialogue on this multi-layered topic.
"THE GREATER GOOD is a character-driven documentary that explores the cultural intersections where parenting meets modern medicine and individual rights collide with politics. The film offers parents, doctors and policy makers a safe space to speak openly, actively listen and to learn from one another. Mixing verité footage, intimate interviews, 1950s-era government-produced movies and up-to-date TV news reporting, THE GREATER GOOD weaves together the stories of families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccination."

Pamela Britton (March 19, 1923 – June 17, 1974) was an American actress best known for appearing as Lorelei Brown in the television series “My Favorite Martian” (1963–1966). She also starred in the film noir classic “D.O.A.” (1950).
She was born Armilda Jane Owen in Milwaukee. Her mother was Ethel Waite Owen (1893–1997), a prominent stage, radio, and early television actress. Her father, Raymond G. Owen, was a doctor who died when the actress was 20 years old. She had two sisters: Virginia, an actress under contract to RKO Radio Pictures, and Mary, a social worker.
Pamela attended State Teacher's Normal School and Holy Angels Academy in her home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, taking leads in her school plays. By the age of nine she was doing summer stock, and Hollywood came calling at age ten, though her mother rejected the advances, saying she wanted her to be an actress, not a child star. Pamela started making the rounds at 15, using the name Gloria Jane Owen, but found that as soon as people knew who her mother was they expected her to be as accomplished as the respected dramatic actress. She chose the name Pamela from a British book and Britton to emphasise the source.
After a stint touring with bandleader Don McGuire, her big break came when she was cast as both Celeste Holm's understudy and Gertie in the Broadway production of “Oklahoma!”. When the show went on tour, she took over Holm's role as "Ado Annie". After her New York agent pushed her credentials to MGM executive Marvin Schneck, he came to see her performance in Chicago. Disappointed on the first night, he returned after cajoling from her agent on the second night and signed her immediately.
She played the comic role of Meg Brockie in the original 1947 Broadway production of “Brigadoon”.
Her first role in a major production was as Frank Sinatra's girlfriend in “Anchors Aweigh”. Afterwards, however, a forgettable part in a forgettable film, “A Letter for Evie”, in 1946 was disappointing, and she went on suspension to play "Meg Brockie" in “Brigadoon” on Broadway.
She returned to the big screen in “Key to the City” (which starred Clark Gable) in 1950 and then went on to make by far her most significant film appearance in the classic “D.O.A”., also in 1950. She made her third film of the year in the Red Skelton-starring “Watch the Birdie” (1951), but it was 19 years before she again returned to the big screen. During that period, she portrayed the title role of the TV version of the Chic Young newspaper comic strip “Blondie” for the one season it ran, opposite Arthur Lake as her husband, "Dagwood Bumstead." (Lake had played the role earlier in numerous movie comedies opposite Penny Singleton as Blondie.)
Britton was married on April 8, 1943, to Capt. Arthur Steel after they met on a blind date in Texas arranged by Pamela's sister. After the wedding, he was posted to Italy on active service and Britton continued working. They had a daughter, Katherine Lee, born on September 8, 1946. After the war, Steel worked as an advertising executive and went on to manage the Gene Autry hotels. While their daughter grew up, Britton worked mainly in West Coast theater. She reprised her role in “Brigadoon” in 1954, appeared in “Annie Get Your Gun” at the Santa Barbara Bowl, and then returned to Broadway to replace an ailing Janis Paige in “Guys and Dolls”.
What is perhaps her signature role began in 1963 and lasted until 1966 when she appeared as nosy landlady Mrs. Lorelei Brown in “My Favorite Martian”. After the series ended, Britton appeared in “If It's Tuesday”, “This Must Be Belgium” and “Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came”.
In May 1974, while performing on tour with Don Knotts in “The Mind with the Dirty Man”, Britton began to have headaches. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor and succumbed within two weeks. She was only 51.
Britton is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Hollywood Hills).

Such forms of entertainment like books, theater, and sports games were known even in antiquity. Circuses, funfairs, carnivals, roller – coasters and carrousels were made up many years ago as well, whereas cinema came into being only in the end of nineteenth century. Lumiere brothers demonstrated the very first motion picture in 1895. The earliest films were very short and soundless. Usually the performances of silent films were accompanied by live piano music. First movies with synchronized sound came in sight thirty years later. These films are called ‘talkies’. Sometimes they are sub – titled or dubbed so that people who don’t understand the language could understand the film. Nowadays cinema grew into a great industry. Producers, directors and the cast earn a lot of money. Actors are nearly gods for teenagers. Almost every family has a TV set. Cinema turned up recently, developed rapidly and insensibly became an important part of our lives. Going to the cinema is one of the best ways of spending our leisure time. It’s a wonderful way to meet your friends and the main thing – sophistication!


The Wrestler (Contains Spoilers)
February 7, 2009
Well I finally got around to seeing the movie The Wrestler and as promised I’m going to share with you my thoughts. I’m not sure if it was the amount of hype or the constant pressure to see the film but to be honest I was disappointed. I went in both wanting and expecting to like the film but for the most part I didn’t. It wasn’t that I found it to be a bad movie as much as I just didn’t find it a very enjoyable one.
The performances by Mickie Rourke and Marisa Tomei were both fantastic, and I thought both characters were really strong and very believable. I liked Pam/Cassidy a lot, but Randy “The Ram” I didn’t care for much at all, which is why I was let down by the film.
I often look at films the same way I look at wrestling matches (from a psychology stand point) and I think with this film it is even more appropriate. For me a good match or film needs to have a strong baby face/hero. A baby face needs to be a likable character. If we don’t like the main character why would we care what happens to him?
When you break it down into basic match psychology you have to Shine your Baby Face in the beginning of a match. You have to get the crowd to like that Baby Face. You have to make sure they like the guy before you get Heat on him. Once we like the Baby Face we can root for him to survive and over come, and hopefully win in the end. At some point the Face makes his comeback, fans generally cheer, and then you wrap the match up with a happy or sad ending.
The same can be said for virtually every film, book, play, you name it. That is the basic story telling formula. The Wrestler failed greatly in these respects. For starters there was almost no shine. The scrapbook like open, which recapped Randy’s glory days, was not enough Shine to make me like the character. We didn’t get to see any of his successes and the first time we get to see our Baby Face he’s getting stiffed on his pay at a low rent Indy show.
The whole film just felt like Heat to me, and getting that much Heat on a guy, I haven’t really found a reason to like yet, made this an interesting but not overly enjoyable film. I had no sympathy for “The Ram” and while I would have liked for him to have a happy ending at the end of the film, I wasn’t sympathetic when he didn’t.
I have a very unsympathetic view when it comes to people in this business that fall on hard times, especially those like Randy “The Ram” whose hard times come as a result of their own actions. Randy had a big career, assumingly made big money, but is now old, broken down, using drugs, poor, and alone. I’m not sure why we are supposed to feel bad for him. There was never a reason given for why he was broke now, so I assume like many of his real life counterparts he simply pissed it away and never saved for the future.
There are but three hope spots in the film and Randy pisses all three of them away. He gets a second chance with his daughter and screws that up because he would rather do blow and bang a rat his daughter’s age. He finds a job, which may not have been a great one, but he was actually enjoying it and good at it, and he screws that up because someone recognized him and he couldn’t swallow his superstar pride and deal with it. Then he blows the last chance he has at not being alone, when he picks wrestling a match over a life with Pam. I’m sorry but this guy is a loser, and the film ends with a very unhappy, if perhaps realistic finish.
I had one person even suggest to me that the ending was supposed to be a happy one, because in the end he went out to do what he loved most. The real world had not been good to Randy “The Ram” so he was going back to the only World he knew or was good at. I just can’t buy that, which may be because I have too much of a person perspective on this and I’ve never been one to put wrestling ahead of my real life.
Regardless of my perspective, if that was the intent I think the film makers came up short because at no point did they convince me that Randy loved wrestling. At no point during the film did Randy appear to be enjoying himself while wrestling. It seemed more like it was just the only thing he knew how to make money at. He may have loved being a big star once upon a time but I never believed he loved wrestling. He had more fun that one day at the deli counter than he did at any of the Indy events we saw him at.
I think his daughter summed it up best, he was a fuck up, and the story of a fuck up that commits suicide in the end might be an interesting one, but it’s not a very enjoyable one. I know there is a bit of debate over the end of the film, but as far as I’m concerned Randy dies at the end. When he looks up at the curtain and realizes that he screwed up his last chance at a real life and happiness (Pam) he jumps off that top rope to his death. There is no other possible ending, its Thelma and Louise; you don’t have to see them die to know that’s what happened.
I guess in the end I’d give it a thumbs in the middle. It was an interesting story, superbly acted, but in the end it was a story of a wrestler who couldn’t let go of the business and ended up committing suicide. I get enough of those stories in real life reading the Observer, I have no need or desire to see more of them.

Award winning film on Guantanamo can make the case to America. Let’s show it there for the prison’s 20th anniversary in January 2022
“Guantanamo? Is that still open?”
Americans ask this all the time. And the answer is yes. It will be 20 years old in January 2022. And there are still 38 men imprisoned without trial.
How do we finally close this “patient zero” of the human rights abuses that began after 9/11? How can ordinary Americans be persuaded to talk civil liberties when it comes to the prisoners left? How do we discuss the legal complexities, the international self-defeat, and the humanity of “Bad Dudes”? It’s too big for a slogan. You need a Hollywood blockbuster.
This year, an award-winning film was produced specifically to do these things. The Mauritanian, directed by Kevin Macdonald and staring Tahar Rahim, Jodie Foster and Benedict Cumberbatch tells the true courtroom drama of Mahamedou Salahi, who spent 14 years in Guantanamo and how he was freed. It exposes the lies that were told to keep him there.
Unfortunately, COVID frustrated the release of The Mauritanian in America, and the film was has yet to find its audience in the country that needs to see it most. That is why we are now starting a campaign to get The Mauritanian shown and seen across the United States leading up to the anniversary.
This October, Lewes Amensty Group booked a special screening of The Mauritatian at our local independent cinema, the Depot. It was a great night, including a live Q&A session with the director, Mohamedou Salahi himself, the lawyer who got him out, Nancy Hollander, and Guantanamo expert, journalist Andy Worthington.
And all we had to do was ask.
We made some calls to a cinema and wrote some emails to a distributor. The warm support we have had makes us think that other groups could do this. There are local groups of Amnesty International and other civil liberties organisations across America. There are law schools and student film societies. With a few phone calls and emails, each one could stage their own event.
It’s not long until January, but there is enough time to get screenings booked and press releases sent. Guantanamo will close when the embarrassment of keeping it open is greater than the embarrassment of the world hearing what was done to these men, and where they were taken on the way. If we find it an audience, this film could shift that balance.
Get in touch! We can put you in touch with Director Kevin Macdonald, Nancy Hollander and other people who are willing to speak at your screenings.

We have helped arrange screenings of the film with Q&A sessions in Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, Islington and Delaware in the United States. We are working with universities, law schools and organisations like the ACLU to set up more.

And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bore you, as a man does bear his son…
Lord Lytton, in his essay on the efficacy of praise, tells a story of Mr. Keen, who, when performing in some city of the United States, came to the manager when the play was half over, and said, "I can't go on again, sir, if the pit keeps its hands in its pockets. Such an audience would extinguish AEtna." Upon this the manager told the audience that Mr. Keen, not being accustomed to the severe intelligence of American citizens, mistook their silent attention for courteous disappointment, and that if they did not applaud Mr. Keen as he was accustomed to be applauded, they could not see Mr. Keen act as he was accustomed to act. Of course, the audience took the hint, and as their fervour rose, so rose the genius of the actor, and their applause contributed to the triumphs it rewarded.

Madhur Jaffrey was born in Delhi and came to London aged 19 to study drama at RADA and pursue her passion for acting. It was here that she learnt to cook, effectively by correspondence: while in London, she desperately missed home-cooked food, so her mother would send her recipes.
Madhur acted in TV, film and radio productions in England, then headed to New York, where she wrote food articles to supplement her income and fund her children’s education. This foray into food writing led to hugely successful books and accompanying TV programmes, made popular due to Madhur’s straight-talking approach.

She starred as the title character in their film Cotton Mary (1999) and co-directed it with Merchant.
She was the recipient of the Best Actress Award from the Berlin Film Festival in 1965 for her performance in Shakespeare Wallah.
Madhur received the Taraknath Das Foundation Award presented by the Taraknath Das Foundation of the Southern Asian Institute of Columbia University in 1993.
She has appeared in Six Degrees of Separation (1993), Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) and Prime (2005). She starred in and produced ABCD (1999) and guest-starred in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode “Name” as a psychiatrist, and the Law & Order: Criminal Intent episode “The Healer” as a lecturer.
In 1999, she appeared with daughter Sakina Jaffrey in the film Chutney Popcorn.

Can I Just Say - I Love DAWN FRENCH
I love HER THIS MUCH!!!!!
I got my first glimpse of Dawn French back in the mid 90’s when I fell in love with "Absolutely Fabulous". I then fell for her a little more with her duo comedy show with Jennifer Saunders from the late 80’s, "French & Saunders". She’s Saucy, Sexy and Fucking Hilarious! Over the years I’ve followed her career and almost everything she touches turns to hilarious piece of work! Over the past 30+ years she and Jennifer Saunders have put together an amazing body of work. She first joined the cast of the "Young Ones" and met Saunders on the show "Girls on Top".
French wrote for AbFab for many years and create one of my all time favorite shows from the UK. "The Vicar of Dibley" is a show about French playing a female vicar who is assigned to small village and the show is a host to some really kooky characters. I love this show because it’s just one laugh after another and the characters mesh flawlessly together. The show ran for several years in a row and has come back from time to time with mini runs. Most recently the cast came back for 2013 UK Comic Relief series which charity that helps fight poverty around the world.
French and Saunders came back together again in 1999 with "Let Them Eat Cake". F&S in period costume at the Palace of Versailles. Saunders the grande dame with the Queen Marie’s ear in court and French as her loud and smart mouthed lady servant. The show was only 6 episodes long but it left you wanting to see more. Sadly the series came to end with the axing of you know who.
French was on fire in the early 2000’s with appearances and staring on several TV shows and Movies. In 2006 she hit gold again with "Jam and Jerusalem" (Clatterford in US) which ran for 3 seasons. French played Rosie the fun loving and heart of the town who lived with multiple personalities. While she was filming Jam, she starred in the early episodes of "Lark Rise of Candleford" and the "Psychoville". I haven’t had the time to start watching Psychoville or her most recent hit "Roger and Val Have Just Got In". Soon I hope.
Dawn has a new series out in the UK which starting airing episodes last month. "The Wrong Mans" is a new series staring actings Matthew Brayton & James Corden. Brayton was regular on one of Clem’s favorite UK shows, Spy! The show is exclusively on HULU. Check it out! So back to the lady at hand. I LOVE DAWN FRENCH......She truly is one of the most precious actors that the UK has offered the world. Funny as all hell and she can’t inhabit any role with grace and truth.


To Miguel Ferrer, the best part about playing forensic examiner Dr. Garret Macy in the NBC hit drama “Crossing Jordan” is that Macy is a complex man who still manages to maintain a reasonable degree of normalcy.
In contrast, Ferrer’s distinctive on-screen presence has often led him to be cast in somewhat offbeat character roles. He first attracted audience attention with a breakout performance in “Robocop.” He won critical acclaim for his portrayal of an FBI forensic expert – very different from Garret Macy – in David Lynch’s cult hit TV series “Twin Peaks.” In 2000, he delivered a standout big-screen performance as a drug dealer-turned-reluctant-informer in Steven Soderbergh’s Oscar-winning film “Traffic.”
Despite an impeccable Hollywood pedigree – he is the son of movie star Jose Ferrer and singer Rosemary Clooney – Ferrer initially began carving his career path as a studio musician (his credits include playing drums on Keith Moon’s “Two Sides of the Moon”). Band mate Billy Mumy (Will Robinson on the classic “Lost in Space”) cast him in his first role in the television series “Sunshine.” It wasn’t much of a stretch – Ferrer played a drummer – but Mumy had to talk him into doing it.
Since then, Ferrer has starred on the big screen in the hardball detective
comedy “Where’s Marlowe?” and lent his voice to Disney’s “Mulan.” Other film
credits include John Badham’s “Another Stakeout,” Tony Scott’s “Revenge,”
“Stephen King’s The Night Flier,” “The Harvest” and “Blank Check.” On
television, he has appeared in the Emmy Award-winning miniseries “Stephen
King’s The Stand,” and “Drug Wars: The Camarena Story,” and starred in the NBC
comedy series “Lateline.”
Last summer, Ferrer made his New York stage debut in the Off-Broadway production of “The Exonerated,” directed by Bob Balaban. He also recently completed production on the independent feature “Silver City,” written and directed by John Sayles. In the film, Ferrer portrays right-wing talk show maniac, co-starring with Darryl Hannah, Richard Dreyfuss, Chris Cooper, and Maria Bellow. His next project is Jonathan Demme’s remake of “The Manchurian Candidate,” in which Ferrer will play an army major who challenges the lead character, portrayed by Denzel Washington.
In his spare time, Ferrer loves to play golf and ski and every year helps organize a golf tournament fundraiser for the UCLA Children’s Hospital. He also still finds time to play club dates with Mumy. Their band, the Jenerators, has released two CDs. Ferrer has three sons and currently resides in Los Angeles. His birthday is February 7.
