Park Films are delighted to announce that their upcoming horror feature, The Canal, written and directed by Ivan Kavanagh and starring Rupert Evans (Hellboy) and Antonia Campbell-Hughes (Albert Nobbs, Kelly + Victor) will have its world premiere on the opening weekend of the pretigious Tribeca Film Festival in April.
Cinema Archivist David Williams lives with his wife, Alice, and their 5-year-old son, Billy. All seems well until David begins to suspect that Alice is cheating on him. His anxiety is then compounded by a bizarre coincidence at work: cataloguing a film-reel from 1902, he learns that his home was the site of a brutal series of murders by a man named William Jackson, who slew his wife for being unfaithful and drowned both of their children in the nearby canal. As David’s suspicions grow, a shadowy figure of a man, who resembles Jackson, starts to appear to him and David becomes convinced that this “evil supernatural presence” that inhabits his house, never ever wants him or his family to leave.
And even though I played a small part of Margaret Jackson, I made it into the trailer too —–> Tribeca 2014: Watch The Pulse Pounding Trailer For Midnighter THE CANAL

Soul is a 10 episode crime horror drama that stars Lee Seo Jin as profiler Shin Ryu and Im Joo Eun as high school student Ha Na
There will be two types of people who watched this drama, they will either love it or hate it. It is not your typical drama. There is no love triangle, no evil stepmother, no meddling ex and there really isn’t a romance story. There is a hint at the two leads developing feelings for each other but it doesn’t get explored. So it can be taken as romantic feelings or just that they care about each other.
The drama is about Ha Na who has the ability to see ghost. At the start of the drama one of her classmates commits suicide and there is a serial killer targeting young girls. This is what starts the “downfall” of Ha Na. When her twin sister Du Na falls victim to the serial killer Ha Na has a breakdown and that makes her power grow. She begins to get possessed by angry ghost who are out for revenge, including her sister’s ghost.
At the beginning Ryu helps Ha Na deal with what is going on but then uses her for his own agenda, to take revenge over his sister’s killers. As nothing last forever Ha Na finds out what he is doing and loses her trust in him. Finding out everything she has done is too much for her that she starts to lose her mind. To help her Ryu erases all her memories of him, since he was the start of all of it.
With the help of her friend, Shi Woo, who has been there for her the whole time, Ha Na starts a new life…until she meets Ryu again. In the end, Ha Na loses everyone and we don’t know exactly what happens to her.
The drama is a bit hard to follow sometimes with dream sequences, the characters don’t know what is real therefore we don’t know what is real either. As in any drama the characters at times do things that we question but it is after all just a drama. Even thought it din’t have a happy ending I really enjoyed it. I liked that it was different, it was not a cookie cutter drama. It explores corruption, the good and evil in everyone. The “good” people weren’t all good and its nice to see characters that have different dimensions. The evil characters were evil until the end and in a way in this drama evil won. If you want to watch something different I recommend this drama.

Oooh, I just finished watching North and South, based on Elizabeth Gaskell's novel, and it was SOOOOOO good! I haven't read the book, so I don't know how true it stayed, but this was a wonderful movie. The actors who portrayed the the leads, Margaret and Thornton were amazing together. It was romantic without much romance shown. If you like period movies and love to get lost in a story you might want to try this one. I recommend it highly!


Actress Ada Sharma, who has worked in both Southern and Bollywood movies, says the casting couch is everywhere, and many Bollywood characters have talked about her horrible experience in Couch in Southern Cinema before. Pouring the sofa is not just something in the south or the north. I think it is something that has been talked about all over the world. Adah Sharma said that sofa production exists worldwide
There is always a choice, said Adah Sharma, who has worked in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films. “I think you can always choose whether you want to sit on it, lie down, stand or do nothing on the couch.” You can sit on the floor, the actress scoffed: On the acting front, her tool, which was last seen on the “Bypass Road” screen, will appear in “Man to Man.”
The film revolves around actor Navin Kastoria, who falls in love with Ada Sharma and marries her, only to realize that she was a biologically male who became a woman after surgery. Keep looking to find out more about the actress and her next project.

Iconic costume designs from the silver screen are being showcased at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising Museum as the focal point of the Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition.
The exposition, which officially opened last month, runs until April 25 and features over 100 on-screen outfits, bringing memorable film characters back to life by showcasing the most iconic movie ensembles. Twenty of last year’s most noteworthy films are being honored and represented in the exhibit, including “The Great Gatsby,” “Big Eyes,” “Selma,” “Maleficent,” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
FIDM alumni shine in Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibit
Some of FIDM alumni designs are included in the exhibition as well, such as Marlene Stewart and Trish Summerville. Stewart, who designed the costumes for family comedy "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" had to create several different outfits for numerous time periods and historical figures, using rich velvet and bright leathers for the costumes for King Arthur and Guinevere and lighter fabrics for the Pharaoh's traditional Egyptian garb.
Summerville had an equally challenging task creating the costumes for "Gone Girl", whilst Mary Claire Hannan, a fellow FIDM graduate, designed the casual khakis and button-down costumes for the film “The Fault In Our Stars.” Along with the FIDM alumni was Soyon An who was in charge of costume design for hip-hop dance film “Step Up All In.”

New Ohio Theatre Hosts Sinking Ship Productions
POWERHOUSE Created by director Jon Levin, writer Josh Luxenberg, and the Sinking Ship ensemble
Inspired by swing music, animated cartoons and futuristic machines, Powerhouse takes the audience inside the mind of Raymond Scott. He wrote fast-paced, tightly orchestrated compositions, attempting to reinvent swing in the 1940s. Wildly successful in his own time, his music would be completely forgotten were it not for its use in countless Looney Tunes cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s. Powerhouse spins a kaleidoscopic, kinetic story about creativity and the chasm between what an artist imagines and what his audience perceives.
Sinking Ship Productions is a Brooklyn-based theater company dedicated to the creation of dynamic, physical, thrillingly visual theater often built using puppetry, object manipulation, music and movement. They also run Puppet Playlist, which has played to sold-out crowds since 2009, becoming one of NYC's premiere venues for original short-form puppetry.
“[Audiences are] constantly looking for the next new thing… and with this talented young company, we may have found it.” — Jason Zinoman, New York Times

Performance Space 122 and New Ohio Theatre Present
SORRY ROBOT A new play by Mike Iveson Comissioned by PS122 2013 Ethyl Eichelberger Award Winner
Four performers and a standup piano create a haunting world where robots long to feel the same feelings that their
embarrassing, sort of pathetic, not-very-appealing human masters feel. In a hotel that doubles as a software development facility in an ever-dystopian Florida, the machines of the future set out to prove they can do almost anything but shut up.
Beloved downtown performer, Bessie-Award-winning composer, and 2013 Ethyl Eichelberger Award winner Mike Iveson has written this farcical new play, studded with nine original compositions that will convert every human in the room into a metallic automaton.
No robots were harmed in the making of this piece.
Sorry Robot was commissioned by PS122, the Jerome Foundation and the Ethyl Eichelberger Award with funding generously provided by the Gesso Foundation. Residency support provided by The Exchange/Orchard Project.

New Ohio Theatre Hosts Hard Sparks
R & J & Z Written by Melody Bates Directed by Joan Jubett
What if Romeo and Juliet got a second chance? R & J & Z starts with Act V of Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet and keeps going, as the famous lovers navigate a world in which death isn't necessarily the end. Set against the historical backdrop of Verona's plague, this new verse play, written by Melody Bates, throws old and new characters together over the course of an apocalyptic and action-packed 24 hours. Equally inspired by Shakespeare and modern zombie films, R & J & Zpushes the boundaries of theatrical humor and horror.
HARD SPARKS champions daring performances of dangerous plays and has been nominated for eight New York Innovative Theatre Awards, including Outstanding Premiere Production for Eightythree Down and Outstanding Short Script for Chicken-Fried Ciccone. In trying times, Hard Sparks tells tales of transformation and redemption, mining our darkness for light.
“Romeo and Juliet live on in more than one sense, thanks to Melody Bates’ witty and affectionate take on Shakespeare’s play. Both a wry critique of the original and a bloody feast of the undead, R & J & Z will appeal to lovers of the Bard and of popular culture alike.” — Ruth Bernard Yeazell, Chace Family Professor of English, Yale University

This movie is utter utter nonsense.
It shows what happens when a Kiwi directs a movie about animals (they don’t have them in NZ). It also shows how many people still have no concept of nature. I realise this is just good yarn, but for crying out load it is supposed to be a gorilla after all. The most ridiculious scenes were the ice-skating scene and the “its beautiful” scenes. All are meant to be serious, but I burst out laughing. This is something I never do because each of us experience movies in different ways, but this was just asking to much.
Naomi Watts had about 1 expression throughout the movie, but she does have nice legs and I now realise that really that is what this movie is entirly about.
Adrian Brody was also very phony. I can’t see how he got the part. Maybe his big nose had more to do with this than we think (nudge nudge).
The only redeeming feature of the movie was Kong’s CGI. But as with Final Fantasy, good CGI isn’t enough to carry a movie.
You can’t expect much more from Hollywood, but I still can’t workout how the press (here in the UK at least) started dishing out 5 stars for this piece of KAK! After browsing the IMDB Forums last night one of the posters compared this to “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. I think this is very apt.
Also found out that there are massive concerns that King Kong is not doing nearly as well as is expected at the Box Office. I’m glad. Hollywood needs to understand that cheap sentimentality and unoriginality don’t translate to profit, even if you use all CGI and money you can muster.
They have hyped this movie sooooo much this week. I listen to my XM radio in the morning on my way to work, and they have the MoviePhone guy giving reviews each morning. This guy MUST be paid by the industry. He was going as far as saying that this could be “THE” best movie ever…. Not having seen the movie myself, I already know that it is a piece of KAK. With all they hype and pure propaganda for it, I can’t see how it can be a serious contender for an Academy Award. Will it be entertaining? I figure it would be, probably as much as Jurasic Park or something in that line, but the BEST EVER! I don’t think so and you just gave me one vote on that!
“The Emporor’s New Clothes” I say!
ok guys- not the best movie EVER, prob a bit too sentimental for that if u focus solely on the storyline..but then it is based on the original and what a great remake; the special effects I thought was simply excellent. if you look at it from a tecnical point, fu**ing well done! in my opinion. that ‘guerilla’ is so realistic, could’ve fooled me 🙂
Well Mr Heunis, just when you thought you got away with your crack at Kiwis! I have no problem with you criticizing King Kong the movie I canÆt comment as I havenÆt even bothered to see it. As a general rule I use the amount of hype a movie receives before being released as an inverse indicator of how good it will be.
But getting back to my point! You Mr Heunis, a person I have always considered knowledgeable (especially on matters of wildlife and its conservation) as well as fair in your treatment of your fellow man, have gone too far this time. New Zealand has a wealth of wildlife, much of it indigenous to the country, with many niches in its complex ecology occupied by unexpected animals families, especially birds and reptiles. All of this I know you know but I just had to put the record straight in public.
Thanks for the comment.
Yes you’re right. I do apologise. I was pissed off at Peter Jackson after watching this movie and unfortunately he happened to be a Kiwi.
I know that NZ has a fantastic natural kingdom and I have massive respect for New Zealand’s natural vision. In fact New Zealand recently top scored in the global Environmental Performance Index.
Again this was a go at Peter Jackson rather than Kiwis in general.


CBS47 spoke to people at local screenings of The Dark Knight Rises, to get reaction to the deadly attack at a screening in Aurora, CO.
The shooting happened overnight, so people were getting out of the local screenings were unaware and shocked by the news.
One moviegoer dressed as Bane, the villain in the latest movie said, "Actually, you're the first person to tell me; this shocked me. I was kind of wondering if you were messing with me for a second. I don't know, it kind of unnerves me and changes my whole perspective on this whole midnight gathering sort of thing, a lot of people a lot of people in one area."

Actor Joe Alwyn is best known for his roles in critically acclaimed films like The Favourite and Mary Queen of Scots.
The Kent-born actor was raised in North London where he attended City of London School and joined the National Youth Theatre after discovering his passion for acting.
Joe’s first big flick was Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk in 2016, where he played the titular character and was seen embarking on a steamy scene with co-star Makenzie Leigh.
The sizzling scenes saw the British hunk comfortable on a bed, while Makenzie positioned herself on top of him, before two romped.
He also acted alongside A-list stars including Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone and Nicholas Hoult in dark comedy The Favourite, plus Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie in historical drama film Mary Queen of Scots.
In 2017 reports began emerging that Joe was dating pop singer Taylor Swift, with her pal Ed Sheeran confirmed the two were dating during an interview on a British radio programme.
And while its unclear exactly when they met, fans believe it was at the 2016 Met Gala – with sleuths deciphering the song Dress on her 2017 album Reputation refers to their first meeting.
In 2020, Swift confirmed that Alwyn had co-written select songs for her album Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
Fans had long suspected that the mystery writer was actually Swift’s boyfriend, whose great-grandfather William Alwyn was a successful musician and composer.
He continued to collaborate with the singer on her next album, Evermore, collaborating again under the moniker William Bowery on three tracks.

Speaking of the series in 2017, she told ES magazine: ‘Like Lena, I think I was always quite comfortable being nude. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t without my insecurities.
‘When I was younger, I would pretend to be really confident when I wasn’t necessarily, but then, I think, real confidence did follow from that.’
‘I’ve never been so nude anywhere I don’t think,’ she recalled. ‘I was naked for hours and hours and hours.’
The actress started dating Australian musician and singer-songwriter Alex Cameron in 2017 and she has two children from a previous marriage to lawyer Michael Mosberg.

Playing Bobbi will be Sasha Lane, an American actress who made her film debut after being scouted by a film director on a beach in 2016
After dropping out of university, Sasha starred in the 2016 teen road drama as an Oklahoma runaway called Star, who starts selling magazines door to door and falls in love with a man called Jake

Playing Bobbi will be Sasha Lane, an American actress who made her film debut after being scouted by a film director on a beach in 2014, aged just 19.
Sasha was born and raised in Texas, where she had an impressive High School athletics career in basketball and track and field before attending Texas State University.
While at university, Lane was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, previously telling the Independent: ‘There are voices in your head, things are really dark.
‘It’s hard to explain to people who care about you that you can’t sleep and you’re hearing voices all day and you’re sad and you’re just tired. By the time I was a teenager, I was so tired.’
However Lane didn’t finish her studies in social work and psychology after she was spotted on a Florida beach by director Andrea Arnold, who asked her to improvise a scene for her.
After dropping out of university, Sasha starred in the 2016 teen road drama as an Oklahoma runaway called Star, who starts selling magazines door to door and falls in love with a man called Jake (Shia LeBeouf).
Following her first ever acting project, which earned numerous awards and nominations, Sasha has bagged various television and film roles including a part in MCU TV series Loki.
Mother-of-one Lane, who became pregnant with daughter, Aster, aged 23, also landed roles in 2018 gay conversion drama The Miseducation of Cameron Post and Gillian Flynn’s 2020 adaptation of British TV series Utopia.
Sasha revealed in a recent interview that she and Kirke became fast friends ahead of filming together, messaging on Instagram about the realities of motherhood before they’d even met.
‘I’d never met her in my life but we spent a good couple of hours texting back and forth. It made me fall in love a little, which I do so easily. I get so intrigued by people’, she told the Telegraph.

Unlike the rest of the cast, little is known about the show’s lead role of Frances, who will be played by emerging talent Alison.
She will make her debut in the series having graduated from drama school Lir Academy in Dublin, Ireland.
Oliver, who grew up in Cork and went to the same drama school as Normal People star Paul Mescal, revealing this week that he got in touch with her after she landed the role.
‘I knew Paul a little bit from college and he was so lovely in getting in touch and I think it’s really nice to have that contact across the shows because it is quite a similar thing,’ she told BBC’s The One Show.
Miss Oliver has also chatted to Daisy Edgar-Jones about the part. ‘We are all part of the Rooneyverse, so there is a camaraderie,’ she told The Sunday Times. ‘They told me to just enjoy it.’
Conversations with Friends is Alison’s first television role and previously revealed she was a big Rooney fan prior to landing the role – often reading the author’s works while studying in Dublin.

Want to know what happened in The Bear and the Nightingale? Read a full summary right here! This page is full of spoilers, so beware! If you need a refresher on what happened in The Bear and the Nightingale, then you are in the right place!
***** Everything below is a SPOILER *****
What happened in The Bear and the Nightingale?
Dunya tells the Petrovna family a fairytale they’ve heard many times before. It’s about Frost and the girl sent out in the frigid woods by her stepmother to find and marry him.
Marina tells Pyotr they’re going to have another baby. Marina dies soon after Vasya is born the following November.
Six years later, Vasya is now a mischievous young girl. She gets lost in the woods one evening and doesn’t make it home in time for dinner. The forest changes on her somehow, and she can’t find her way home. She finds a big oak tree with an old man sleeping under it. She wakes him and asks him to help her find her way home. Then another man on a white horse comes in to the clearing. Vasya asks him the same thing. Then he puts the old man to sleep again, which makes her uneasy.
Vasya runs. She soon comes across another man on a horse. This time it’s her brother Sasha, who takes her safely home. Once she is warm, fed, and asleep, Sasha and Pyotr sit by the fire and talk. Even though Pyotr has not thought of another woman in the six years since his wife’s death, they know Vasya is going to need another woman’s presence when Olga is married off and Dunya passes away.
Pyotr decides to go to Moscow to visit the current leader, Ivan, his late wife’s half-brother. He will take Sasha and Kolya with him. Vasya is sad she doesn’t get to go with them. Ivan accepts them, provides a place to stay, and feeds them.
Sasha, who has always been holy-minded, wants to visit a church outside of the city. His father allows it. Sasha meets a monk who invites him to stay and live with them. Pyotr says he will allow Sasha to do so on two conditions. He may not go back and see the monk again until he is ready to stay, and he must reflect on the decision for a year before he decides for sure. Sasha reluctantly agrees.
Pyotr goes into the area of the merchants one day. There is a man on a horse who snags Pyotr‘s attention. That night at the feast, Pyotr finds this same man in the crowd. The man feels the wind of the north coming off of Pyotr and his sons and realizes the one he’s been searching for (Vasya) is still alive.
Ivan proposes two marriages to Pyotr: his daughter Anna as Pyotr’s wife and his teenage son Vladimir as Olga’s husband. Pyotr accepts both proposals. He remains in the city six more weeks and then begins his journey home with his new wife, his family, and their entourage.
As they are leaving the city, the strange man he had seen in the market and at the feast puts a knife to Kolya’s neck. He makes Pyotr promise to give a strange jewel to Vasya. That’s the only way he will let Kolya go. Pyotr must make sure Vasya always keeps the jewel on and must speak of this to no one. Pyotr agrees, and the man disappears. Pyotr is the only one who remembers the strange encounter.
When they arrive home, Pyotr gives Dunya the strange jeweled necklace from the man. He asks her to hold it for Vasya until she’s more responsible. Dunya has a dream that night in which a man tells her she must give the necklace to Vasya immediately. They reach a compromise in which Dunya will give it to Vasya when she is of age.
Anna is miserable in her new home. She sees demons everywhere just like she did in Moscow, but here the demons stare at her. She only feels safe in the church.
Kolya marries a local girl and goes to live in his own house that Pyotr built for them. Olga’s fiancé and his party arrive for the wedding. They will get married on her land and then journey back to Moscow as a couple. She is disappointed about marrying such a young man but is ready to assume the responsibility of wife, mother, and royal.
Vasya is devastated that her sister is leaving and begs her not to. Olga promises to send for Vasya as soon as she is of age.
Two monks, Aleksei and Sergei, discuss the health of their ruler. Ivan is not well. They wish for Sasha to come back to them to be a monk and watch over his young cousin Dimitrii, the heir to the throne. They need someone strong and good with the sword to defend that young boy until he is strong enough to defend himself. Pyotr is not ready to let Sasha go with them, but Sergei tries to convince Pyotr that his son’s strength is needed to protect the throne.
Pyotr tells Sasha he’ll disown him if he goes to the monastery in Moscow. But Sasha tells his father he must. He wants to live his life as a monk and wants to protect his cousin Dimitrii if need be. Vasya finds Sasha in the stable and begs him to let her go with him to Moscow. She’s desperate to leave the stepmother who hates her behind and live in the city. Sasha also tells her she must stay with her family.
Vasya continues to see the little demons in her house and in the land surrounding it. She wins back her brother Kolya‘s basket of fish from a river demon one day. Her stepmother catches her talking to a house demon one day and slaps her for it.
Vasya continues to be smarter as she grows and only visits with the house spirits whenever others aren’t around. She particularly befriends a stable spirit and learns how to work with horses from him.
One particular priest (Konstantin) rises up above the others in Moscow. Aleksei decides to send this priest away so he doesn’t become more popular than him. He commissions Konstantin to go to Pyotr’s land to work in the small church there.
Vasya has befriended three sprites and sits with them up in the trees when father Konstantin arrives on their property. Konstantin ask Pyotr for dyes to make paint so he can work on his icons. Pyotr says Vasya will show him where the plants he needs are. They go out before dawn the next morning, and Konstantin can’t help but be fascinated by the girl. She even eventually gets him to tell her how Sasha and Olga are doing. That night, Konstantin see someone sneak into the church from his window. He goes out to see who it is. It’s Anna.
Konstantin is really shaking up the church life in Vasya’s area. He’s appealing to everyone’s conscience and asking them to stop worshiping the house spirits, too. Vasya seems to be the only one who disagrees with him. She’s not happy that everyone is changing their mind. Anna tries to beat this dissidence out of her. Pyotr tries to reproach Anna for doing this, but Vasya begins to escape it by spending most of her time in the woods. And her brother tries to watch to make sure she’s never alone with Anna.
The hearth spirits begin to starve, so Vasya begins to secretly feed them (especially the one in the stable) so they can survive. The winter is a very harsh one, and Vasya thinks it’s because they’re neglecting the hearth spirits. They freeze every night, and a village boy even dies. Vasya makes offerings in the forest to the demons there to try to get them to relent with the winter weather. They do what they can, but they still can’t reduce very much. Something is awakening. For a moment, Vasya thinks she sees a familiar tree in the shadows and thinks she hears a voice asking her if she is cold in the wind.
The demon comes to Dunya in a dream again and says it’s time to take Vasya. She says she’s still childlike and has grown thin and is not ready. The demon says his brother is awakening, and Vasya needs the necklace. But he gives her one more year.
Anna comes to Konstantin to tell him that she’s seeing the demons again. She thought they were gone and is anguished to see them again. He realizes it must be from Vasya. Konstantin is proud that he’s converted so many of the villagers but knows their only hope of survival is if he converts Vasya as well. The spring comes, and it is a wet one in which nothing indoors or outdoors can stay dry.
The horses offer to help teach Vasya how to ride. She really enjoys it. One day when she’s bathing in the forest, she notices Konstantin watching something in the water a little ways down. Vasya saves him. At first, Konstantin doesn’t want to admit that she did so. But then he goes to thank her later. When he touches her hand, Vasya realizes how he gets so many of the women to follow him with his rough skin and beautiful eyes. But she shakes herself out of her reverie.
Anna wakes Pyotr in the middle of the night and tells him Vasya is a woman now and asks him to marry her off. Pyotr refuses to believe it at first but then sees how Konstantin looks at Vasya the next day and realizes Anna’s right. He goes to Dunya and asks her how long Vasya has been a woman. She says for about six months. She pulls out the necklace with the strange jewel. He feels like she betrayed him because she didn’t give it to Vasya all those years ago. But she says the man in her dreams agreed to let her hold it for a while. Pyotr begins to express his doubt the Winter King exists, but then he remembers how easily he accepted the jewel and followed the orders of the man years ago.
Pyotr decides that Vasya must marry to keep the Winter King away because he only comes for wild maidens. He sends for the best candidate, an only child around 30 who has inherited his father’s fortune. The man comes, and everyone likes him. But Vasya has her doubts. She can tell his smile doesn’t go to his eyes, and his horses fear him. She desperately does not want to get married to him.
Vasya goes to tell Konstantin about it one night. He’s grown attracted to her and is been dreaming about her and is ashamed about it. He ends up slapping her when he wants to kiss her, and she leaves. A disembodied voice speaks to Konstantin after she leaves.
Vasya’s betrothed organizes a bear hunt on the eve of their wedding. He kisses her in the stables before and tries to kiss her in the woods during hunt. Vasya hates it. Her nephew rides by on a horse that has gotten away from him. Vasya quickly jumps on a horse and rescues him. She rides very unlike what a cultured woman should. The man breaks off his engagement to her and returns home.
Pyotr thanks Vasya for saving his grandson but also beats her for her unruly behavior. He’s so worried that she’s still a wild maiden. He’s afraid the Winter King will come for her soon. Anna suggests that she go to live in a convent. Pyotr considers this idea and decides it’s another place that can keep her safe. He plans to send Vasya there, although Vasya knows nothing about it.
A monk arrives with news from Sasha, who he now calls Brother Alexander. He’s renowned for his wisdom and charity. But the Russian leader is continually being replaced, and he thinks now is the time to put the cousin he’s protected for all these years on the throne. Pyotr feels far removed from these troubles and does not want to help. He thinks a war to put Dimitrii on the throne will only bring heartache. Kolya wants to help. Pyotr tells him he’s free to go to the war if he feels the need, but he will not send him with his blessing or any provisions.
Strange things begin happening in their area. Animals are being killed with their meat left behind. The voice speaks to Konstantin again. And Anna see something during a church service that makes her start screaming. When Vasya looks the way that Anna’s eyes are facing, she thinks she sees the one-eyed man.
Strange things continue to happen, including a young girl begins seeing visions, is really troubled, and eventually passes away. Then Dunya gets sick. She sees the Winter King’s brother in visions, and he’s telling her that it is vital that she gets the jewel to Vasya. Dunya cries out in her unconscious state for Vasya. Vasya stays by her side. When Dunya comes to for just a minute, she gives the necklace to Vasya and tells her to always wear it and always keep it hidden.
Dunya passes away. Vasya knows that the dead are awakening now. She and Alyosha figure out who it is and go to the grave to crush the skull of the one who has awakened. Soon Dunya is the one who comes back from the dead. Vasya is agonized and doesn’t want to hurt her. But animals are dying and people are being tormented.
A man comes to their property telling them his nearby village has burned to the ground. Pyotr and Kolya go to help. The voice comes to Konstantin again, this time telling him that Vasya has to leave for the village to be safe. He convinces Konstantin to send her away while Pyotr is still gone. Konstantin and Anna decide to send Vasya to a convent. She begs not to go and thinks it sounds like the worst kind of torture. Konstantin says it’s the only thing that will save her soul.
Alyosha and Vasya see Dunya’s spirit in the forest and go to her grave to do away with it. But her body is gone, as Vasya suspected it would be. While Pyotr is still gone, Anna it says it’s time for her to make the journey to the convent. Vasya threatens to run away instead. Anna says she can go search for white spring flowers for her young daughter Irina instead of going, thinking Vasya will die in the process. But anything sounds better to Vasya than going to the convent, so she goes into the forest to search for the flowers. Konstantin catches her and tries to drag her back, but she gets away.
Vasya gets lost and comes across the oak tree and the Frost King (Morozko) eventually. He lets her sleep, feeds her, and heals her wounds, even old ones. He brings the white flowers to her and tells her she has a choice: She can take them to her stepmother for the reprieve to be able to stay home. Or she can leave them behind and go to the convent. But he’s letting her leave either way! He said no time will have passed in her world once she makes it home.
Vasya gets to be good friends with one of Morozko’s horses, Solovey. She spends many days riding all day long while Morozko is gone. She grooms the horse, eats well, and sleeps hard every night.
Konstantin discovers the voice that’s been directing him is not from God; it’s the Winter King. He can hardly believe it. The Winter King says he must sacrifice someone with the sight (a witch) to save Vasya. The only other one is Anna.
Vasya asks Morozko to tell her the story of his brother. He tells her how they were born ages ago as twins and how he had to bind his brother to keep his evil at bay. But sometimes he still comes alive as the Bear, killing humans and bringing the dead back to do his bidding. And he’s doing so right now.
Vasya begs Morozko to let her help send his brother back. Morozko won’t have it. He doesn’t want to risk her safety. She shows him her talisman that will protect her. She doesn’t see exactly how much seeing the jewel affects him. He says she must go back. He’ll give her a huge dowry and a good husband to protect her. Solovey takes her back to the real world. She ends up by the fire in Konstantin’s chamber. Alyosha’s dead body is there; Dunya’s ghost killed him. Vasya awakes in Morozko’s house and realizes it was only a dream.
How did The Bear and the Nightingale end?
Morozko soon lets Solovey take Vasya back home. She returns to find the Winter King and his dead ravaging her home area. He had Dunya’s ghost kill Anna, who Konstantin lured into the woods as an offering to the Winter King.
Vasya calls on the hearth spirits for which she’s cared so long to help out, and she slits her own wrist and lets Dunya’s ghost drink her blood. Dunya seems to come back to herself, and Morozko appears and takes her away at Vasya’s request. Vasya is willing to fight the Winter King/the Bear and sacrifice her life if need be. But then Pyotr appears, finally returned home. He offers his life in place of Vasya’s. The Bear accepts this offering, and Pyotr dies.
Konstantin performs the double funeral in a blur. Vasya and a heavily cloaked Morozko appear at Konstantin’s chambers telling him he must leave. Morozko and his sunken eyes strike a scary figure. Konstantin tries to fight it but eventually relents and agrees to leave.
Back at the house, Vasya breaks it to Alyosha and Irina that she must leave. Alyosha will be taking over their father’s property. Vasya heard the whispers of the people at the funeral and doesn’t want him to lose respect or have to defend her against their claims of her witchcraft. Solovey will take her wherever she wants to go, to the ends of the earth if need be. Irina makes Vasya promise to come back home. Vasya says someday.
Vasya mounts Solovey and rides deep into the forest. Morozko opens the door and lets her into his house.
There you go! That’s what happened in The Bear and the Nightingale, the first book in The Winternight Trilogy!

The monologues were created in a collaboration between leaders with DACA status and Motus Theater Artistic Director Kirsten Wilson during a seventeen-week autobiographical- monologue workshop. All three pieces were presented in a virtual performance on April 8, 2021, as an introduction to the 29th Annual Rothgerber Conference.

|Do you think that most whites get black stereotypes from black comedy movies?|
I watch alot of black movies and I noticed most of the ignorant questions asked by white trolls I have seen in black comedy movies. Like booty clapping and w/e. Do you think some black movies are influencing these stereyotypes?
|yes, they most certainly do.|
on the one hand, it can be fun to jest about our respective cultural idiosyncrasies, if that jest is in good taste and not meant to be mean spirited; on the other hand, projecting stereotypes via the media and film industry can be absolutely detrimental to the progress of black people in america. many people cannot distinguish between reality and fiction, and it is for this reason that those stereotypes that are seen by viewing audiences all over the world are difficult to combat, and they do make things much more difficult for blacks.
|Are there any other series of movies like Ghetto Booty but with white guys?|
I like the Ghetto Booty adult movie series and am looking for something like it with white guys instead of black guys any ideas?
|There are a lot of movies like that. Do you want them with black, asian, or latin women?|
I would start out with roundandbrown.com and go from there.
The big wet asses series by evil angel is a nice series too.
|Tropical Thunder movie beginning with the black guy singing a song about like booty juice or somthing?|
What is the name of the song it is driving me absolutly crazy????
|wasn't it Booty sweat?|
|Why do Black people do this at the movies?|
I went to the movies this afternoon. And as you all know, before the movie starts, there is a commercial that tells you to turn off your cells so you don't ruin the movie for others.
Anyways. I was almost at the middle of the movie and everybody was so into it when suddenly, U hear the typical Ghetto ring tone. Its was probably a boost mobile phone cause it was louder than the movie.. All the black people in the theater started booty clapping to that song. After that the Black woman answer the phone really loudly.. """Helllo!!!!!!""""" Why do they do that? They have the phone right in front of them. Why do they have to yell? and ruing the movie for everybody else?
This has happened to me many times.
|"All the black people in the theater started booty clapping to that song...." LMFAO.|
|When is "Starz" going to launch a hispanic and asian channel to match their black channel?|
seems wrong that Starz only gives black people their very own movie channel. No offense to black people, I enjoy watch Big Momma's House and Booty Call, but what about adding some other cultures too?
|Get over it sweetie, ur barking up the wrong tree, u need to contact STARZ cause you'll never get the right answer here.|
|Whats that movie with some black guys roller skating called?|
Its not Roll Bounce... its a movie where theres some black guys roller skating at the beginning at some roller rink called Cascade... and then theres a party at some girls house called big booty Judy...
|ATL with TI and Lauren London|
|Did anyone see that movie, african booty scratcher?|
What part struck out to you? That movie show me the harsh reality! The part that struck out to me was when the girl went to her job (at the african restaurant) the black american walked up and asked for american food (fries a burger whatever) he came in there looking for trouble and even insulted them, he was like "why y'all come to america acting like y'all better than us". That part was sad.. Because I remember a question on here just like that.
|I saw the *documentary (not movie).|
I thought it was decent because it showed the clashing of two cultures...
|Why do most black people act so racists toward whites?|
I see this all the time on the media and at school.Since I go to a mostly black school I always hear the black guys say racist stuff to the white teachers and students like "White people ain't got no booty" or "White people always doing (insert word or phrase)", especially when they get mad.
I especially can't hear the end of it in the media.Every time I turn to a show like House of Payne or anything with black people on it they always say stuff like "We as African Americans..." or "Too many black youths are...", which wouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't always stressed.
And why do most black people always need a black role model to look up to,for example, a lil black guy wants to be a karate master but doesn't do it because he doesn't see a black man or woman doing it even when there's hundreds upon hundreds of other successful men & women who's not black doing it.
Why do most black people play the race card, like if they get kicked out a job they always go on the news crying "racial discrimination" even though 8 times out of 10, its not.Why do some feel like all white people STILL owe them something for slavery that happened years ago, the Jews were tortured by the Nazis in Germany but they don't start rioting every time a German or someone with nazi ancestors walk by,Why, because it's old news.
Another thing that gets me is how movies about black people almost ALWAYS involve someone in the hood or someone in the gang tyring to get out. Or someone cheating or getting pregnant at 16, and its suppose to represent a lot of black people accurately.
I do realize that there is still racism but that's for every race, not just for black people.Slavery was wrong but that's dead and gone.
|I can't give you an answer but I must say that I agree with you 100%|
|I need help on this movie?|
i have a question hae you guys ever heaard of a movie called black booty sistas in the hood, if not do you know any sites that might have it or info about it, yes its a porn movie dont laugh at me
|Never heard of it but try going to |


In two weeks, Katy Grannan’s first feature film, The Nine will be screening at the Mill Valley Film Festival.
Katy Grannan’s intimate documentary explores the lives of those who struggle with their past tragedies and current addictions. The filmmaker’s delicate but deepening focus on the mystery of Kiki—whose clinging, childlike world-view belongs to someone a fraction of her actual age—looks for answers in those around her, who still dream of reuniting with their children, working a garden, running a mud wrestling club. Despite their ravaged lives, their songs burst out with a terrible and unflinching beauty.

When games become Movies
Written By: v0rt3x
We see this a couple times a year. A new blockbuster gets released, and at the same time, a game with the same title is released. Most of the time, said movie game ends up being horrible. There a few notable exceptions but we easily forget them over the slew of rushed or barely finished Ďgamesí.
Over the years, a few studios decided to make the leap to the other side. Create a film based on a video game. In itself, this is a great idea: continuation of a story, expansion of a game world.
Is it possible, though, to capture the essence of a game through film? Can we recapture on the giant screen what made the game so exciting to so many people? Can we also bring the love of a franchise to the nonĖgamers out there?
Over the years there have been quite a few attempts at this. Letís take a look:
Now before you say anything about movies missing from the list, I only included movies that got an international theatrical release. Itís interesting to note that all the movies directed by Uwe Boll in that list got a score below 10% even though the gaming franchises were not unsuccessful (House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, Postal and In the Name of the King). Also of note is that the film that has the best Rotten Tomato score is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, not a live action flick. That does pose the question: should movie adaptations of video game stick to the CG medium? Now correct me if Iím wrong, but I also think that of all those movies, Final Fantasy was the only one that was directed by a by a video game director, not a movie director.
Most of the movies on that list were quite entertaining and some grossed quite a lot, so the answer to the above question is by no means clear. I think that stories in video games, if properly exploited, could lead to great movies. The problem is that, as gamers, we always make decisions in our gameplay. This ability is taken from us in movies and we tend to argue on the decisions characters take in these stories. On the other hand, a franchise like Resident Evil, has garnered quite a dedicated following for their movies, where people want to see other stories unfold in the universe. These numbers show that at least some of these movies have attracted some people that havenít played the games.
I for one am looking forward to more video game movies, I think there are a great many exciting stories out there, which would bring new and exciting imagery to a rather bland Hollywood scene.

EYE Presents; Michelangelo Antonioni – Il maestro del cinema moderno
One of the most innovative filmmakers of the 20th century
From September 2015 to January 17th 2016, EYE presents an exhibition and film programme about Michelangelo Antonioni (1912-2007), one of the foremost innovators in film from the last century.
The exhibition contains film fragments. Selection of private documents, film clips, stage photos including from Bruce Davidson (Magnum), press articles, original screenplays and letters (among others Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes, Marcello Mastroianni, Jeanne Moreau, Alain Delon, Luchino Visconti and Italo Calvino). And there are several, paintings by Antonioni.
Michelangelo Antonioni, a pioneer of modern cinema, won international fame with films such as Blow-up (1966), Zabriskie Point (1970), and his famous trilogy L’avventura (1960), La notte (1961), and L’eclisse (1962), featuring his favourite actress, the splendid Monica Vitti. Antonioni renewed by the structure of the film to think in terms of the image and less in terms of narrative. He was one of the first film authors who tried to capture the state of mind of characters searching for meaning by framing them in a particular way in a striking mise-en-scène. “Each square centimetre of the image is essential,” asserted Antonioni.
Antonioni was nominated for an Oscar for best director for his public success Blow-Up (1966), a ‘Swinging London’ film about a paranoid fashion photographer and the inability to know the truth. After this success Antonioni was given the opportunity to make the United States Zabriskie Point (1970), a socially critical film that was shot in the desert of Death Valley with a soundtrack include Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Both films are powerful images in which time the emerging pop culture and social discontent strong step forward. In many of his films Antonioni tried to capture the state of their characters searching for meaning in a striking mise en scène and beautifully framed images.
The Adventure (1960) ranks as a turning point in film history, marking the start of modern cinema. A stylistic perfectionist, he renewed the grammar of film by thinking less in terms of narrative and more in terms of image. Film excerpts projected onto thirteen big exhibition screens show the overpowering visual force of his images. The exhibition also features unique documents, photographs and letters from the Antonioni archive in Ferrara, birthplace of the director.
The exhibition is curated by Dominique Païni in collaboration with Jaap Guldemond, Director of Exhibitions/Curator EYE, with the assistance of Maria Luisa Pacelli (Director, Gallerie d’arte moderna e contemporanea di Ferrara) and Barbara Guidi (Chief curator, Gallerie d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Ferrara).
Exhibition concept by Fondazione Ferrara Arte and Gallerie d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea-Museo Michelangelo Antonioni di Ferrara, in collaboration with Fondazione Cinetecca di Bologna.

I have mostly been helping with making the script more modernized. I don't have any speaking lines until Act 4. Dani will be sharing with me the google doc with the lines for Act 4 and I will put my suggestions to the wording in a different color beside it or something. From what I have seen and heard, this production is looking great!
Wednesday, April 6, 2011
So the project has finally begun filming. The fb person has a total of 11 friends. The tumblr is coming along, and Ashlyn's wix is looking good.
In act 3, Romeo gets in a fight with Tybalt and kills him. Juliet and Romeo are married, but it is a secret. Romeo has been banished.
In act 4, Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a vile that contains a medicine that will make it look like she is dead, this is so she won;t have to many Paris. Paris has arranged for them to be married on Thursday. Everyone is shocked and sad to find Juliet dead.
Lady Capulet: she freaks out about Juliet being dead.
Thursday, March 24, 2011
In Act 1 the main thing that happens is the Capulet's party. Romeo and a couple of his friends sneak in, and Romeo goes just to see Juliet again. Capulet knows that Romeo is a Montague, but he says to his friends to just tolerate him for tonight. Romeo and Juliet fall in love, but both now know that they are in Rival families.
Lady Capulet- She basically just talks to Juliet a little and explains that Paris wants to marry Juliet, and she says that when she was Juliet's age she already was her mother.
Thursday, March 10, 2011
The Montagues and Capulets are fighting and using swords and stuff. They were talking about giving the finger to people. You can tell these two families are rivals. Romeo was talking about how he loves someone that never will lie him back.
Lady Capulet is basically just by her husbands side the whole time. She doesn't seem too involved with the fight.

In theaters everywhere today, Universal and Working Title Studios releases Matt Damon’s most anticipated action movie since the “Bourne” triology–“Identity”, “Ultimatum”, and “Supremacy”. There has been much hype in the movie world about whether or not the “Green Zone” will be as exciting to watch as Damon’s previous action-packed movies.
Personally, after watching the trailer I have to admit I like what I see and cannot wait to enter the Green Zone tonight. I will of course, report back on what I thought about the movie. Until then enter the zone!


“The 300” blockbuster movie and the recently released “Lysistrata” are not just different – they’re opposites. In watching both films, I’m struck by how similar the mise-en-scene and how opposite the message.
The joy of The 300 is in reveling in the gore, the revenge and the balletic slaughter that is male testosterone. It’s the nihilistic primordial myth that celebrates male violence as the indispensable defender against the bestial Persian horde. The joy of Lysistrata is in imaging a world beyond all this male violence – a world where woman are on top and war is no longer necessary – a world where male hormones are harnessed and female sexuality triumphant.Continue reading
