There are always going to be bad adaptions of books that just don’t live up to expectations. That can destroy the thing that fans of the books love. There have been some books that I’ve read and loved, but just didn’t translate well onto screen or just barely had anything in common with the source material. Here are some of my least favourite book to screen adaptions (no particular order):
Maximum Ride, 2016 film:
So, I really loved these books growing up and I was a bit surprised when the film was finally released in 2016. Especially as I remember reading the books and getting excited to hear that the first book was being made into a film. In 2007. This wasn’t the worst adaption of a book into a film I’ve seen. The problem that I had with this adaption was special effects. I thought it stayed pretty close to the story, missing a few bits out about some of the characters. From what I can remember of the book, the film stayed pretty close to the plot but it just wasn’t amazing. It was okay but it’s nothing to get your hopes up for.
Harry Potter, 2001-2011 films:
Now I have a love-hate relationship with these films. I love them because they were such an important part of my childhood, but I do have an issue with how they changed things from the books. Some of my favourite characters in the books barely had any screen time and if they did they weren’t the same or as important to the plot as they were in the books. I love these films those but I tend to see them as kind of separate from the books. (Which is why the Harry Potter films are on both my favourite and least favourite adaptions.)
A Series of Unfortunate Events, 2004 film:
Now, when this film came out I loved it. I still appreciate it, but I don’t the TV series is a much better adaption in comparison. This film actually what got me to read the book series. But after reading the whole book series and having watched the TV adaption (2017-2019) it just isn’t as good anymore. I think that the mistake that they made was that they combined the first three books into one film. They mashed them altogether and it just didn’t work. All I can say is that it’s not a surprise that there wasn’t a sequel to this film.
The Percy Jackson series, 2010 & 2013 films:
So, I absolutely loved these books. They are the first and only book series I have ever read where more than one character is explicitly labelled as dyslexic. I am sure I’m not alone when I say that the two films were a real let down. The books were brilliant and creative but the films were kind of terrible. The films feel as if someone simply talked to someone about the books and then decided to make a film without reading the books themselves. They just weren’t good adaptions of the books, they were very loose translations from book to film.
The Hobbit trilogy (2012-2014)
The thing that I didn’t like about the Hobbit trilogy was that it felt like they stretched the story out over three films simply because they felt like it. I don’t think that the Hobbit needed to be a trilogy, it’s not a long book, it doesn’t really have enough material to be three films in my opinion. I feel like they could have just made a 2-3 hour film and they would have been able to tell the whole story. I really don’t think that it needed to be a trilogy and it ruined the films for me. As I enjoyed the book but the films just dragged on and on. It felt like they made it into a trilogy purely because they could and not because they should.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant, 2009 film:
I honestly barely remember this film existed, that’s how much I cared about it.
Darren Shan’s books are always pretty dark and disturbing so trying to make one into a mass market film might not have been the best idea. This book was definitely lost in translation from the page to the screen. This is another book series that I loved and that I didn’t feel anything for when watching the film. I probably could have enjoyed this film if the actor that played Darren wasn’t so stiff. In my mind, this film seriously paled in comparison to the book.
The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, 2013 film:
This is a film that I remember really looking forward to seeing, as I at the time really loved the books. But I ended up be very disappointed. Half of the film followed the first book, City of Bones, pretty closely. And then it veered off from the plot of the book and made it’s own ending. They kept some of the details the same but they changed quite a bit of it. Robert Sheenan as Simon was a highlight of this adaption. As was Godfrey Goa as Magnus, that I remember being fancasted very often as Magnus before the film came out. I think without Robert Sheenan I wouldn’t have enjoyed this film very much.
Shadowhunters, 2016-2019 TV series:
Now the reason why this is on this list is because the TV series steered far, far away from the books. Rather than sticking to the books the show decided to take the concept and a number of the plot points and just ran with it. Honestly, this show was so bad that it was good. Unlike with the film, this adaption didn’t try to stick too closely to the book and then veering off with their own plot. It’s not amazing but it isn’t the worst either.
Compared to the film that came out a few years prior, I did enjoy this TV series more. Probably because you actually get the time to get to know the characters unlike in the film. A series gives you more time to explore different aspects of a story whereas a film does not.
True Blood, 2008-2014 TV series:
Initially, I really enjoyed this series but after a few seasons I got sick of it. I think my main issue with the show was that they changed Bill’s character. In the books I didn’t like Bill, his character develops to show just how selfish, manipulative and terrible he is. I liked that in the books we see Sookie in and out of love with Bill and then falls in love with Eric. I would have loved to have seen this in the TV show adaption, but it was changed because the actors that played Sookie and Bill got married. The show had shown how Bill only cared about his own interests and not Sookie’s, unlike Eric whose character changed to show him caring more about Sookie and being genuine towards her unlike Bill. I would have loved it if they had shown this in the show but I can also understand why they would change it. But I personally think that they could have followed the books more in that regards, as the actors are both and adults and it is their job to act. (If you can’t tell I’m still bitter about this.) I ended up not finishing this series simply because I just couldn’t stand it anymore.
I would love to know if there are any book adaptions that you’ve read and didn’t like. Or if you agree or disagree with any of the books/films/TV show that I’ve listed above.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, stay safe, and I hope you have a good day 🙂


Ep. 3: Thank You For Your Service
In this latest episode of After Action, Max and Paul have a special guest on the show: Jason Hall.
Jason wrote the blockbuster hit film “American Sniper” starring Bradley Cooper, and most recently, wrote and directed “Thank You For Your Service,” a new film based on the true story of a group of soldiers after their return home from the 2007-2008 Iraq War surge.
Starring Miles Teller, “Thank You For Your Service” highlights the struggles of Sgt. Adam Schumann and how he second-guesses decisions he made in Iraq, along with a number of his fellow soldiers as they transition from war to home.
We talk about a lot more than just Jason’s new film. In this episode, we chat about Max’s undying love for Jurassic Park, Paul’s reasoning as to why Empire Strikes Back is the best Star Wars film, and Jason talks about his favorite military movies that apparently we were supposed to have watched but never did.
DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:
- Thank You For Your Service film, premiering Oct. 27
- Active-duty service members can see the film at AMC Theaters for FREE the day before it opens. Check out the details here.
- The film is based on the book of the same name by journalist David Finkel. It’s a follow-up to Finkel’s previous book, The Good Soldiers
- Jason’s favorite military film: “The Battle of Algiers”
- It’s also a favorite of Gen. Stanley McChrystal
- He recommends watching “Come and See” and “The Best Years of Our Lives.“

I heard an NPR story last week about Disney cutting back. Basically, the story said that making movies is really expensive. And Disney knows they have more success with these big family films like Pirates. So, they have decided to cut back the number of films they make per year (from 18 to 8 ), betting on the ones more likely to do well at the box office. They are gong to layoff a whole bunch of folks and save a lot of money. Sounds good, unless they make a few stinkers, at which point the strategy will look pretty dumb.
This news got me thinking about the paradox between movies being so expensive and our experience with nonprofits – production costs have gone down and our clients can do a lot more for a lot less than they could before.
I think Superman Returns cost, what, $215 million? And it was shot with HD video and not film. The big expense on that one was animation and graphics – the guy needed to fly and it needs to look real. But at the same time, movies don’t have to be so expensive. Look at Spy Kids, where Robert Rodriguez made a film with a DV camera and went under budget. What’s expensive? Big stars are expensive. Johnny Depp got $20 million for Pirates plus a piece of the gross. Wow.
Not all feature films cost so much. Sure, I love the big movie with all the effects once in a while. But I just saw the Jim Sheridan movie, In America, and I will take a small film like that over a big one like Superman any day. And its this kind of movie that brings me back to what we do.
We want the nonprofits we work with to create the small films – the simple stories about what they do every day. We know the museums that have real stars on their staff. We know the social service agencies that have real heroes on theirs. Our goal is to capture those stories of the real people on the ground, in the trenches, working their butts off. These films aren’t the ones that cost so much to make, but they are the ones you don’t forget.


It's Friday afternoon, so I know this post will probably be read by 2 people. So, I figure it's as good of time as any to mention that I watched about 10 minutes of the movie Starship Troopers last night. Now, I saw this movie on VHS back when it came out and I can only remember three things about the movie:
- It was so bad it was funny,
- NPH was in it, and,
- The red headed chick got naked.
Also happened to catch a bit of Mallrats last night. Just a solid movie there. Little known fact: Mall shots were filmed in Eden Prairie, MN. Not sure if the 3rd nipple scene was filmed there.


Richard Harrington plays Gustave, a simple Belgian village boy who hears a mysterious call from Don Henley, frontman for the world's best-selling rock band of all time, The Eagles (with whom Harrington & Kauffman have no affiliation, past or present). Gustaves narration is cleverly complemented by the subtle mime routines of his co-conspirator and occasional spoiler, Chris Kauffmans Nhar, who is unable to verbally convey his message but harbors eternal hopes of doing his own musical number. The story spans the globe and beyond, with tales of Colombia, Nepal, and the skies over Walden Pond.
Through it all, Nhar performs mime routines, sings songs, sets up the mike, runs the sound, fetches all the props, and does whatever else it takes to make things run smoothly while Gustave tells the audience the story of his life.
At the end of the show, when Gustave finally discovers his musical mentor's true intentions for him, the engagingly weird narrative emerges as a tale of welcome and redemption.
Motel California, directed by Patricia Buckley of the Montreal and Toronto Fringe hit clown group Gams on the Lam, debuted at Surf Reality in New York City and has performed at the Westbeth Theatre Center, the New York International Fringe Festival, and many other New York venues. It has toured to Theatreproject in Baltimore, to the Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado and to the Revolutions Festival at the Tricklock Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as to Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Internationally, the show has toured the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit (Montreal, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Prince George, Victoria, Vancouver) as well as performing at the Mezi Ploty ("Between the Lines") theater and music festival, a major cultural event in the Czech Republic held on the grounds of the Bohnice Psychiatric Institute outside Prague, at which thousands of festival guests mix with the patients for a weekend of theater and loud music. Harrington & Kauffman's participation in the event was made possible in part by a grant from the U.S. Information Service.
In the spring of 2001, the show performed at HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival, shortly after which it changed its name from Hotel California to The Show Formerly Known As, and then later on that year to Motel California, which it remains to this day.
Nharcolepsy once again stars Harrington's & Kauffman's alter-egos, Gustave and Nhar.
Nharcolepsy begins with Gustave and Nhar informing the audience that they themselves are not in a theater, but are, in fact, stuck in a blizzard twelve miles from the North Pole. Thus, as they succumb to hypothermia, the audience must be a figment of their imagination. The duo then begin the last show of their careers, performing numbers that tell the story of how Gustave's childhood obsession with finding the Yeti (the Himalayan ape-like creature who has eluded western explorers and biologists for decades) led to their current predicament.
In order to keep them alive until the end of the show, each audience member is issued a white practice golf ball to throw at the characters whenever they succumb to hypothermia and fall asleep. The balls look dangerous, but they don't hurt, very much.
Nharcolepsy has toured to the Toronto, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Victoria, San Francisco and New York Fringe Festivals, as well as the Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado, to the Revolutions Festival at the Tricklock Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and to Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In New York, it has performed independent runs at the Red Room and at the Gene Frankel Theatre.
A man is found inside a block of ice at the North Pole by Norwegian archeologists. They defrost him. He has no memory of his past. He has a birthmark on his belly in the shape of a frog, a matchbook in his pocket, and a microphone in his hand. And he has a Belgian accent. He doesn't know his name, but there is one thing he is sure of: that he is a singer of the cabaret.
Soon, the man learns that his name is Gustave, and he re-imagines for himself a travelling companion: his mostly mute friend and associate Nhar, whom he lost on the ice. With the help of Nhar, Gustave tracks down his family and his past, first in Belgium, then in Colombia, and then finally in the redwood forests of Northern California. The more places he visits, the more he begins to realize the awful truth about his own shadowy misdeeds.
The tale of this quest and its dramatic conclusion is told in narrative, musical numbers and re-enactment by Gustave and Nhar, who complements Gustave's deadpan storytelling with his subtle mime routines and musical accompaniment.
It's Jason Bourne meets Samuel Beckett meets Serge Gainsbourg, except Gustave and Nhar take themselves far more seriously than any of those guys, which is the key to Harrington & Kauffman's comedy.
Cabaret Terrarium has performed at the Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Vancouver Fringe Festivals in Canada, at the San Franciso Fringe Festival, The Box Performance Space in Albuquerque and Buntport Theater in Denver, and at the Antidepressant Festival, the International Clown Theater Festival, and Triskelion Arts, all in New York City. To see what the press has been saying about the show, see our review page.
Next up: the Indianapolis Fringe Festival in August! For details, see our calendar page.

Over the several years that we’ve been dating, Ed has slowly converted me to his cause of closet sci fi geek-dom…. Case in point: this past Friday, we went to a showing of Serenity that was being held as a fundraiser for Equality Now in honor of Joss Whedon’s birthday. (Joss W. created the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly as well as the movie Serenity.) I hate re-watching most movies, but this was my 3rd time seeing Serenity in a theater, and I still enjoyed it thoroughly.
More importantly, though, before the movie they showed a speech that Joss Whedon gave at a 2006 Equality Now event addressing the question “Why do you write such strong female characters?” It was such a fantastic speech that I simply had to share.
His speech begins at around 2:30, after an intro by Meryl Streep. Clicking the link takes you to the video on YouTube:
Sometimes I find it particularly inspiring to hear sentiments like this coming from a man…. ‘Abdu’l-Baha, one of the Central Figures of the Baha’i Faith, said “When men own the equality of women there will be no need for them to struggle for their rights!”
He said it in 1911. 96 years ago.

Frame still of ‘The Champion’ with ‘burnt-in’ opening title
When you’re going to digitally preserve a film (or a film series or an entire film collection), the important first step is to gather information on your film. Is your film 16mm, 35mm, 8mm, or 9.5mm, etc.? Is it color or black-and-white? Do you have the original negative, or only a print? Is the magnetic soundtrack available? If you only have an optical soundtrack, is it a negative or the positive? The list goes on – and the information can get pretty granular – but to keep this post simple, I’ll focus on the basics for a single film with an exciting title: The Champion.

Creating the Richly Textured Fabrics of an Apocalyptic World
Matt Reitsma is an accomplished textile artist, whose work spans from the beautifully delicate, to heavy painting, dyeing and distressing. His incredible artistry allows film and theatre costume designers to realize their vision with exquisite, custom fabrics. He has worked on such wonderful films as Memoirs of a Geisha, The Last Airbender, The Hobbit and Star Trek Into Darkness. Having recently worked with costume designer Michael Wilkinson on Man of Steel, the two have reunited to bring to the screen some of the most complex and stunning textured textiles for the film Noah.
MR on aging fabrics: I guess I come to a project with some techniques that I rely on, but definitely push the boundaries of those techniques or tweak them to suit the needs of the film. An example would be for some of the principle characters I used a technique in which I bond two fabrics together which have opposite fiber contents and textures- for example cotton/acrylic boucle and silk habutae.
By bonding these fabrics together, I’ve created a fabric that can be manipulated by its content. I can dye the silk differently from the cotton/acrylic, as well as degrade the silk with an oxidizer and not affect the cotton/acrylic. In this way I could create an aged piece of yardage that appeared to be falling apart but still had the integrity to withstand construction and use

On thrusdays now you will be getting some reviews of newer movies from me just to vary my content a bit, hope you enjoy this one!
Aw yeah people, Tarantino is back in business with a western, what else could you want?
I was pretty excited to see Django, the all star cast, the director, the quotes… it all seemed pretty damn good, lets find out.
This movie was based on a old movie by the same name back in 1966, but only very loosely. Basically they took inspiration from the gun fights, some of the scenes and the main character(and he actually makes a cameo).
So this movie kicks in with an introduction to our main character; a slave getting moved from one place to another, our silly intro music straight from the 1966 Django kicks in and the mood is set for the rest of the film. The stupid stuff crossed with serious stuff doesn’t really work… unless they focus on one or the other which actually worked ,up till the end .
Our friendly dentist and professional ass kicking bounty hunter, Dr. King Shultz comes to Django’s rescue because he needs his help for a bounty, he sets him loose and they take down some targets, Django shares his story to Shultz and tells him about his girlfriend that he hopes to save someday, he makes a pact with him in order to help him out and they set out to meet Leonardo Dicaprio in one of his greater roles, he is really a lot of fun to watch and is a pretty great villain.
Something I love about this movie are the well done scenes of character interaction and development, it’s all pretty cool, Django and Shultz are both really masterfully done characters and it’s really a character driven story as it would be very boring if the characters were not acted and written like they were. Everyone has a lot of weight on their shoulder to act appropriately to the time but I think they pulled it off. Did I mention this movie is Gruesome? Yeah it really is I shouldn’t be surprised with Tarantino, but since it’s much more realistic it really gets to me. Also, why is Django such a good shot? I mean I don’t think he misses a single shot in the whole movie that he didn’t want to miss. On more technical aspects this movie definitely struck gold; it looked gritty when it needed to, it looked awesome when it needed to and obviously the effects are great and exaggerated to a silly extreme (like a bullet being a cannon ball) since Django doesn’t miss it gets pretty messy and very worse at the end. Really, the ending can ruin the movie for some people. (Unless you see the ending separately)
I won’t spoil the rest of the movie for you since it’s still fairly new, it’s definitely not one of Tarantino’s best but it’s not bad by any stretch of the word either, like I said the characters and the action are all the reason you should watch this movie and it’s also funny as hell, I really add a lot of laughs with this movie and it is hard to see a movie that can bring out laughs and bitter emotions all in one sitting,oh and the soundtrack really rocks, its one of those soundtracks that you immediately go look for on youtube, all round I think you should really go see this one,it may not be a classic western and it may not be as good as true grit but it’s definitely worth your time.

Written by Mark Gee • Directed by Ed Tiley
"Halfway In" is a hilarious new comedy set in the lobby of a southern motel "somewhere between Dothan and Tallahassee." Clark, the desk clerk, is looking forward to a quiet evening until Maggie Shane, who eloped almost twenty years ago with a man who owed almost everyone in the small town money, returns with her husband's mortal remains for burial. The action follows the comings and goings of an eccentric cast of characters including the new head of the Liquor Control Board whose cocktails and marriage are on the rocks, a greenhorn security guard and his domineering fiancé, a manly truck driver named Matilda, a shady lawyer who moonlights as a photographer, a pair of older ladies on their way to meet a cruise ship, and the dead man's brother who lives at the motel because he's "crazier than a bedbug chewing on locoweed."
Through it all Clark deftly manages to keep the motel functioning at a minimum level of sanity as the various characters check in, check out, and generally threaten to erode what little decorum the motel has.
This play was written especially for community theatre groups, and has lots of great parts for adult actors of all ages. There are 11 characters and most of those parts are suitable for actors with little or no experience, small enough to be memorized easily, but big enough to make an impression on the audience.

HTTYD3 Spoiler Policy
Ok, so after seeing/reading TONS of info that Dean or the other creators of the film have been giving us in interviews, I think I may need to start avoiding spoilers. I really do LOVE talking about the third film and speculating what will happen, but I also don't want to be able to predict it completely. I still want to be shocked and moved when I go, so here is my spoiler policy for the blog.
I intend to read no more interviews by the director or other staff unless I deem it absolutely necessary. I will soley be discussing what we get in trailers. I will also probably not watch straight clips from the film, as I feel those spoil the moment.
Please do refrain from commenting on the blog in a way that discusses what is being said in the interviews, or what leaks from the upcoming film festivals (that will be showing a full 20 min of footage). I do want to keep posting, but I don't want to ruin the film.
So, what this means is, I'm basically gonna be blogging blind. I'll be watching the few trailers we get and trying to analyze them... and I'll probably be wrong, and many of you will probably know it! Please just mercifully spare me in the comments, and don't correct me unless you are doing so using footage from a trailer, not info from Dean!
Haha... so, yeah, this is gonna be kinda lame because it will certainly inhibit the quality of my posts as the film approaches, but I think the experience of watching HTTYD3 in theaters will be worth it in the end.
So, you guys remember how Thanos demanded our silence, well... now it's Toothless doing it. And, by what we see in the trailer, I'd say we shouldn't ignore him if we wanna avoid a lightning bolt XD

Cibrián is thrilled to present Colour, like a hormone, a solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Laida Lertxundi (from Bilbao, lives and works in Paris).
In Colour, like a hormone, Lertxundi has deconstructed the 16mm films for which she is known, exploring their constituent parts — light, color, sound, texture — across a variety of media including sculpture, photo-engraving, installation and readymade objects. At the center of the show is Games, a new series of multimedia sculptures consisting of 16mm film stills printed on glass, and accompanying soundtracks activated by the push of a button. The soundtracks are collaged field recordings of landscapes and voices that Lertxundi has gathered over the course of 15 years. By channeling past work and lost temporalities, Games functions as a kind of refracted film, pried from the dark space of the cinema and granted a frank new physicality activated by the viewer’s touch.
Light is at the center of Sunrise Slips, which depicts a series of disjointed sunrises over California’s Joshua Tree desert. Lertxundi shot these scenes on a borrowed camera with a broken winding mechanism. This caused the filmstrip to gradually slow as it passed in front of the lens of the camera, resulting in a series of shots which appear to brighten rapidly before cutting to each successive image. Playfully embracing the subversive and feminist connotations of “defective equipment,” the result is a hallucinatory light event, a perpetual sunrise that flashes and recedes rapidly like fireworks. Yet Lertxundi remains, as ever, invested in placing pressure on the illusory and escapist potential of cinema. There is a tension between the work’s inconspicuous scale and presentation, and its ecstatic intensity.
Peliculas, a third film work, exemplifies Lertxundi’s collaborative, deconstructivist approach to filmmaking, as well as her ongoing interest in landscape as both an artistic tradition and inhabited environment. In the film, we see two characters gazing at an odd, half-constructed horizon somewhere in the Basque Country. Later, they pack a series of objects, including some film canisters, into a box, wander in front of a projected film image, and jot down their private thoughts (ambidextrously). Forgoing text or discernable narrative, Lertxundi lays bare the cinematic device to form new paths of connection for the viewer, proposing a subtle, absorbing awareness of the film image beyond the constructed logic of linear storytelling. Props from the film are left in plain sight within the exhibition space, as if having made their way through the screen and into our physical realm.
The show’s title is taken from the final lines of poet Lisa Robertson’s “How to Colour”1:
Colour, like a hormone, acts across,
embarrasses, seduces. It stimulates the juicy
interval in which emotion and sentiment twist.
We groom in that pharmakon. This is
architecture, an applied art.
While typically the work of editing a film involves arranging disparate scenes across time, Colour, like a hormone proposes a kind of montage across physical space, permeating, like Robertson’s hormone, the walls of the gallery and the human bodies within it.

So for the next few weeks, I am going to focus on the REEL (as in movie reel) side of Christmas, so that we can gleam some REAL spiritual truths.
Believe it or not, from Rudolph’s red nose to the Grinch’s green puckered face to Its a Wonderful Life – there are some important and reel truths that line up with Gods Word and hold biblical significance.
I have a few ideas about which movies I want to highlight this month, but before we kick off this holiday movie series on Friday, I would love to know what some of your favorite classic movies are, and if you have any suggestions of movies for me to dig for truths in.
Will you consider these questions and share your thoughts and ideas?
(Email subscribers, please be sure to click back to my blog and leave your comment in the comment section, instead of replying to this email, so that we can all see the ideas!)
Here are the questions:
** Which holiday movies or cartoons bring back the fondest memories for you?
** Do you have a favorite holiday movie?
** Which movies have you been able to pull nuggets of truth out of?
** Were there any movies that impacted your heart over time or as a child?
** Which movies have impacted your family in years gone by, or changed your perspective about Christmas?
** Which movies help foster a family night over the holidays?


TV archaeologist Nolan Moore is in search of a mysterious cavern in the Grand Canyon, discovered in 1909 by Kincaid, a man who returned with fabulous tales of an immense cave, decorated in places with what he described as hieroglyphs which hint at a more ancient occupation of the Americas than has always been believed.
Many people have tried and failed to find Kincaid’s cavern, but Nolan thinks he’s now narrowed down the search area, and the intention is to capture the hunt on camera for a TV programme, The Anomaly Files, that has made Nolan Moore a household name.
To picture Nolan think of a younger version of Britain’s own TV archaeologist, the ever-flamboyant Mark Horton. He appears to the delight of the masses in a loose-fitting white shirt and tight jeans reminiscent of the early days of Michael Wood wandering around the ruins of Troy for the benefit of the cameras. He can effortlessly deliver sound-bites to camera and looks good on screen, with his archaeological credentials coming second to those abilities.
But Nolan has done his homework well and, much to his own surprise and that of his film crew, he is able to lead them to Kincaid’s lost cavern, high up the wall of a tributary valley running into the Grand Canyon. And naturally that’s when the dangers come thick and fast for Nolan and the crew.
The Anomaly is a classic one-damn-thing-after-another thriller, with peril heaped on misfortune to build a tense action story that bears as much resemblance to real cave exploration as the film The Descent, beloved of caving clubs everywhere who want an alcohol-fuelled film night where they can jeer loudly and throw popcorn at the screen. It’s fast, it’s fun, it’s daft.
The film crew are singularly ill-equipped to mount any sort of caving expedition – probably because they never expected to find it in the first place. But no one intends to allow that to stand in the way of telling a good story. Archaeological scruples are quickly scattered to the four winds as the team clamber around inside a series of challenging and complex passages that reveal the truth of Kincaid’s story and throw doubt on conventional history in a way that would have most historians foaming at the mouth as they fall over themselves yelling codswallop at the discoveries.
Nolan provides an entertaining first-person narrator, and the whole expedition is seen through his eyes. The secondary characters aren’t really fleshed out enough to lend much impact to what befalls them, but I did like ageing, overweight, sarcastic director Ken, with his constant grumbles and stream of barbed comments directed at Nolan. The women were somewhat generic and difficult to tell apart, but the role of obligatory hot totty is played quite well by the team’s young male cameraman.
If you’re looking for meaningful characterisation and a grounded plot, then this isn’t for you. But if you’re happy to suspend your disbelief from a well-rigged belay and some sturdy 10mm rope then The Anomaly provides an action-packed underground romp straight out of the Lara Croft school of archaeology.

HOW CAN WE SPOT OUR OWN BEHAVIOURAL PATTERNS IN EVALUATION AND DECISION-MAKING?
THAT’S WHAT WE SET OUT TO DO… AND TO DE-BIAS THE FILM COMMISSIONER SYSTEM
As part of the Danish Film Institute strategy to increase diversity in film and in production of film, we set out to de-bias the film commissioner system together with the commissioners.
This is a 6 month development process where the film commissioners (who are working alone) are making ethnographic observations of the ways their colleagues work when screening film subsidies applications and make decisions. They spot patterns and opportunities for development and risk of unconscious bias and blind spot in the process. They receive practical methods to make changes and mitigate bias. They practice. They follow up and measure impact. All while doing their work.


Good morning Year 5! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.
