CLEAN is a mind-bending exploration of four individual characters in search of personal and societal identity. Part sci-fi thriller, viagra buy no rx part social commentary, health CLEAN is a kaleidoscope of moments, ailment both past and present, woven together to form a tapestry of memories both real and unreal, beautiful and haunting, as its characters struggle to face the implications of who they are, who they’ve been, and who they may become.
CLEAN’s four interconnected stories unspool in fragments which, for us, evoke Eudora Welty‘s penetrating and insightful quote:
“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves, they find their own order… the continuous thread of revelation.”

STAN MAZIN's NEW YORK THEATRE SCENE 2015
AGATHA CHRISTIE’S UNEXPECTED GUEST at the Harold Clurman Theatre, produced by TBTB (Theatre Breaking Through Barriers). I wasn’t planning to see this show until a friend told me he was in it. The production company is made up of many handicapped actors… but their acting ability is certainly not handicapped. Although I found the first act a little slow paced, my surprise was that the quality of the production was exceptional. For anyone who adores ‘whodunits’, this show will not disappoint.
CLINTON, THE MUSICAL, book by Paul Hodge & Michael Hodge, with music & lyrics by Paul Hodge. With a cast of 9, this delightful send-up stars Kerry Butler, Tom Galantich and Duke Lafoon, playing Hillary, and 2 Bills: a ‘good’ William, and an ‘evil’ Billy. It is funny, clever, but not particularly favorable to the Clintons or the Democratic party. But hilarious it is, and it is cleverlydirected and choreographed by Dan Knechtges. It plays at the New World Stages on West 50th Street.
DOCTOR ZHIVAGO, the musical, book by Michael Weller, lyrics by Michael Korie & Amy Powers, and music by Lucy Simon. It is so difficult to mount a true classic, while adding songs, staging (more staging than choreography), and still maintaining the epic story. What I felt this lacks is a little humor. There should be a couple of humorous numbers. Remember Les Miz had the Innkeepers number which was a delight, as well as West Side Story’s ‘Officer Krupke’, both wonderfully humorous. Just because this is a serious classic, it does not mean there is no room for comedy. That being said, the sets by Michael Scott Mitchell, the costumes by Paul Tazewell, and the music direction by Ron Melrose are all ten out of ten. Des McAnuff directed a talented cast including Tam Mutu as Zhivago and Kelli Barrett as Lara. Of course the period is during the Bolshevik Revolution (in which my own grandfather fought), so there are many battle scenes. The lighting by Steve Rankin is also very good, keeping the various elements of the story alive. Overall, perhaps not the best musical, but certainly a good interpretation, all things considered. It plays in the Broadway Theatre.
IT’S ONLY A PLAY by Terrence McNally. With great direction by Jack O’Brien, this show stars F. Murray Abraham, Mathew Broderick, Stockard Channing, Katie Finneran, T.R. Knight, Nathan Lane, and introducing Micah Stock. I found this play to be absolutely wonderful… but I’m not sure if it was because of the play, or the performances. I must say the person who did the most with his role has to be T.R. Knight, playing an eccentric English director, never letting his character down, and constantly moving everywhere, and rightfully so. Of course no one has comic timing like Nathan Lane. But in all honesty I enjoyed EVERYONE in this play. Albeit slightly dated, they incorporated many of today’s famous performers as well as a bit of today’s slang. Still, with a cast this great, how can anyone not enjoy this play?!!!
SOMETHING ROTTEN! book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, with music and lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick and Karey Kirkpatrick. What an absolute surprise!!! What an absolute delite!!! What a creative piece of theatre with more humor than ever expected!!! Starring Brian d’Arcy James (Shrek, the Musical… oh, so that is what he looks like without the green paint), Christian Borle (TV’s Smash), John Cariani,Heidi Blickenstaff, Brad Oscar, with great humorous support by Brooks Ashmanskas, Peter Barlett, Gerry Vichi, and Michael James Scott, this new musical is cleverly and beautifully directed as well as choreographed by Casey Nicholaw. I cannot tell you how funny this show is. Nor will I give you any advance warnings as to how humorous the musical references are, of which there are plenty. Anyone who doesn’t enjoy this show has no sense of humor. I can’t wait to see it again, and hopefully they will have a road company soon. All I will say is that it is about the creation of the ‘first musical’ during Shakespearean times. It is so delicious, I don’t want to give anything away. The cast is brilliant! The numbers are brilliant! AND THE SHOW IS BRILLIANT!


Comedy at Caroline ClubThu 16th September 2021
Over 18’s only
Doors at 6.30pm, show starts at 7.30pm
As part of this year’s Saltaire Festival, TLR is branching out into comedy in partnership with Leeds comedian, Paul ‘Silky’ White. We’re going to be introducing you to some fabulous and very different comedians.
The show will be compered by Silky, originally from Liverpool now resident in Leeds, who has appeared on The Stand-Up Show (BBC), The World Stands Up (Paramount) and the Comics Lounge (AUS), as well as events and festivals all over the world.
In his shows there are no songs, props or padding, just stories packed with jokes from start to finish. The Guardian Newspaper described him as ‘ A bear like man with a host of barely believable stories about life, love and brushes with the law’.
In the last few years he has won the prestigious title ‘English Comedian of the Year’, performed at comedy festivals in 3 continents and been awarded the Operational Service Medal by the British army for numerous gigs in warzones, doing everything from shows in Camp Bastion and Kandahar for 5000 troops at a time, to being helicoptered to perform for 20 soldiers in a patrol base in the desert.
He’s reached the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent despite having never watched the show.
Dave is one of the most respected and best loved comedians working on the British comedy circuit, making guest appearances on much loved TV comedy shows like: Never Mind the Buzzcocks – BBC; 8 Out of Ten Cats - Channel 4; Alan Davies As Yet Untitled - Dave Channel; The Footballs On - BT Sport
Dave is also a talented improvisor, making regular guest appearances with one of the longest running and highly acclaimed comedy improvisation teams, The Comedy Store Players. He has appeared in their twice weekly shows in London's West End on many occasions.
As an actor, Dave has appeared on the West End stage in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, alongside Christian Slater and performed in numerous plays at the Edinburgh Fringe. 2016 saw Dave play the lead role in Ken Loach's critically acclaimed and multi award winning film ‘I, Daniel Blake’, which won the much-coveted Palme D'or at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. The film was also the winner of the BAFTA for the Most Outstanding British Film.
In the role of Daniel, Dave received glowing reviews and was nominated for numerous awards, winning The British Independent Film Awards; Dublin Film Critics Award; Empire Magazine Film Awards, Best Male Newcomer; The Seattle Film Festival Best Actor.
‘Shifting from hilarity to uproar to genius in the blink of an eye’ - The Guardian
‘Highlight of the week, Geordie comic Dave Johns stealing the show on last night's Never Mind the Buzzcocks’ - The Sun
As well as regular circuit gigs at comedy clubs across the UK, Isma Almas has performed solo shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, at London’s Barbican Centre for Stonewall, at Bradford’s Literature Festival and on a raucous luxury gay cruise around the Med. As well as winning The First Laugh at Sheffield Comedy Festival, Isma was a semi-finalist in So You Think You’re Funny and made it to the final of Funny Women.
She spent six months co-presenting the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Leeds, where interviewing a number of famous names. A much-needed voice in comedy today, audiences love Isma’s friendly, Bradford-infused, preconception-shattering style.
Seeta Wrightson is a hugely promising new comedian from West Yorkshire: smart, funny, and down-to-earth.


Eng 102: Essay 1-Response to a Reading
Published Date: September 22, 2012
Edward Wasserman’s article “Killing as Troubling Cinematic Art Form” focuses on one of America’s longest standing debates: the cause of gun violence. Wasserman asserts that the cause is gun violence portrayed in movies. He begins by stating, “The media seem to move on from mass killings more quickly… there seemed little interest in learning anything” in regards to the Aurora, Colorado Cinema Massacre. He claims that no one was looking at the similarity of what happened in the cinema to what was portrayed on screen. He declares that Hollywood is the forum in which “guns are exhibited, marketed and sold”. He supports this by pointing out a lack of visual advertisements from gun companies, a graduation of detailed gun action on screen, and by stating the guns used the most in movies are the very same ones that make the gun industry the most money.
Wasserman provides a romanticized description of how the movies portray gun violence and follows that with “A 24-year-old American lad, marinated in revenge fantasies – how many cinematic montages has he seen, the quietly determined protagonist fashioning his straps and holsters, lubricating and reassembling his weapons, squeezing cartridges into clips, Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver, Jean Reno in The Professional, Keanu Reeves in The Matrix: “Guns, lot more guns.” The essence of cool.” He questions the similarity between the guns that are best-selling and those featured in movies. He concludes his argument with a strongly worded “it’s impossible to imagine Aurora without Hollywood.”
Wasserman claims mass media moved on within three days of the Aurora Cinema Massacre. The evidence he provides is The New York Times did not run the trial as the front page on the third day. I believe his exclusion of social media and television was intentional as it did not support his view. Both of these forums were filled with updates and analysis of the crime for weeks after the crime took place directly contradicting the argument Wasserman makes.
Wasserman’s view that no one wants to make a comparison from the movie to the tragedy that occurred is also poorly supported. While he generally states, “Once, slaying 12 innocents would have touched off a national wave of introspection and debate…” yet again he omits news programs that brought in experts to elaborate on this exact comparison because their final conclusion was while the movie may have inspired the killing to be done in the method it was, it did not cause it. These omissions play against the rest of his article where he does explore some concerning information.
Wasserman singles out what he believes to be the cause by stating that Hollywood is the forum in which “guns are exhibited, marketed and sold.” Though I concede his point, “that action films have become the most reliable money makers… in the movie industry” and I believe this correlation deserves to be analyzed, it directly contradicts the fact that Hollywood is a market driven business. If people did not want to see guns in movies Hollywood would not include them, regardless of supposed gun campaigns. I am left questioning its relevance to his argument and this question is not addressed instead it is solidified by the list of movies that he states romantically depict gun violence. I say this because the three movies he chose were high grossing films – leading me to the conclusion that a large number of Americans viewed all three of these movies (and likely many more action films), but the majority of Americans are not pursuing “vengeance” or toting guns into Cinemas. Therefore, I am left concluding that the action films, detailed as they are, are not to blame.
Wasserman complicates the matter further when he concludes his article with, “it’s impossible to imagine Aurora without Hollywood.” I cannot accept his overriding assumption that without Hollywood, this terrible massacre wouldn’t have happened. I think he proves it just wouldn’t have happened during this movie at this theatre. It would have happened somewhere at some time with another excuse shading the true issues of a very disturbed young man.
Violence has been all around us from the beginning of time. From cave drawings to the Bible to Shakespeare, graphic descriptions and depictions of violent acts are presented to each of us at some point in our lives even countless times during the course of our lives. I believe those who have a desire to be violent – will be. Seeing a gun in a movie might make you want to hold one someday, watching a bad guy break into a house might even make you want to buy a gun, but watching a movie cannot make you want to shoot someone. The shooter had a choice to idolize many different men from all genres of movies and all the acquaintances from all the different moments in his own life – he made his choice.
In conclusion, I felt Wasserman’s claims were poorly supported and the omitted information speaks volumes against the topic as the article is read. I believe Wasserman would have had better success discussing how violence on screen desensitizes us. He did not provide solid evidence to deter me in my opinion that it is lack of education in the home in regards to a gun’s purpose and gun safety that is more to blame for gun violence in today’s society.

Janani is an Indian actress and model who predominantly appears in Tamil and Malayalam movies. She started her modelling career during her studies and appeared in over 150 television advertisements before getting signed by director Bala to essay the lead female role in the Tamil feature film Avan Ivan.

After her studies, she ventured into modelling and appeared in over 150 regional television advertisements.
However, she said, she always dreamt of becoming an actress, considering acting to be her “passion in life”.
During her modelling career, she appeared in insignificant cameo roles in Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru (2009) and Gautham Menon’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (2010), though she had initially signed the latter film to play the second heroine.
In early 2010, following the recommendation of director A. L. Vijay, Janani went to audition for director Bala,who was looking for a Tamil-speaking newcomer for the lead female character for his film project, Avan Ivan.
Upon seeing her audition, Bala signed her for the role, saying he felt that she “fits into the role”.
The comedy-drama film featured Iyer in the role of an innocent police constable. Her next release was Paagan, in which she was paired opposite Srikanth.
A critic from Sify wrote, “Janani Iyer looks beautiful and it is a relief to watch a Tamil girl speaking in her own voice.

We watched the film Breaker Morant tonight. It was a film that neither of us had ever seen. Maryann had selected it. I am glad she did. It is a powerful film that shows the folly of vain men who are willing to sacrifice others. The sacrifice was done in the name of duty and honor for one's country. It was based upon a true story wherein the British sacrificed a couple of Australians. The courts cavalier attitude was abominable.
One of the highlights of the film was the defense attorney's summation. Here he outlined the vagaries of a different kind of warfare wherein the troops fighting it were given orders to take no prisoners by men who had never fought such a battle. And the willingness to trump up charges so that Britain would not lose the gold and diamonds to the Germans.
Another highlight was the honorable and quite unnecessary way the two primary characters faced their fate. I salute them.
While it took place during the Boer war in South Africa, it could very well be applied to all wars since then. Before trying diplomatic methods to resolve differences, go to war. Granted there are times when it might just be necessary to resort to warfare, those who do it better be damned sure they know what they are getting into. And, how they are going to get out.
It is too bad that the folks who want to send young men and women into battle haven't been there themselves. Most soldiers will tell you that they would prefer not to have to fight. They are willing to lay down their lives and limbs for their country. We should all be proud of all of them. We also need to show some pride for those who object to war based upon their conscience. It takes just as much courage for them as the warrior. They just happen to be champions for a different cause.


Bosnian-Macedonian actress Nada Đurevska died in Sarajevo, local media reported. She was 65. The prominent theater and film performer was a beloved figure praised by audiences, directors and critics.
Born in Skopje, Macedonia in 1952, Đurevska moved with family to Sarajevo, Bosnia when she was six. Her performances in classic and modern plays earned her numerous awards, but she was an equally talented movie actress.
“In the Balkans, women somehow always self-actualize through their men,” she said about her roles in plays and films written by local authors.
“Women in the Balkans, in Bosnia, have this Greek tragedy quality in them.”
It is hard work for me to become one with a character, and to separate from it
Đurevska’s numerous awards include the golden laurel wreath of MESS theater festival for contribution to performing arts, presented to her in 2002. In 2014, she was awarded the highest recognition of the city of Sarajevo, the April 6 Award.
“This award towers all (my) successes and failures, sadness and joys, dreams, fairness and injustices on my path that was often hard to walk, but also the path on which the most important thing to me was to hold on to my humanity,” she said on the occasion.
Perhaps the most memorable role which she took was that of Hasanaginica (the wife of Hasan-aga), the main character in the television adaptation of an epic poem about the tragic death of the wife of a local aristocrat in the Ottoman Empire era, who is ousted from her home and forced by the husband to abandon her children.
“I never (got tired of acting), but I was tired occasionally, because i work a lot,” she said about her work.
“It is hard work for me to become one with a character, and to separate from it. I need a long pause between (two characters), because otherwise it is like you put on make-up on old make-up without washing the face, and it starts looking ugly. I am very tired now. I worked a lot in the last forty years. I played in 43 movies; sometimes I wonder if that can be.”

This installment of “Conversations at the Newberry” explores the way Shakespeare’s plays are filled with fourth-wall-breaking moments in which characters share their methods for successfully performing emotions, political alliances, and gender roles. His work challenges directors and actors to reflect on the very nature of acting, and to adapt as social, technological, and scientific developments change the horizons of possibility on the stage. In this Shakespeare-themed edition of “Conversations at the Newberry,” the speakers will engage in a wide-ranging discussion about the state of Shakespeare performance today and how it has (and hasn’t) evolved over time.

The play commences with King Dushyanta on a hunt, then finding himself in the presence of three women at an ashrama sacred place. One of these women is Shakuntala, whom Dushyanta falls immediately in love with.
Their mutual attraction eventually blossoms into a romance, but one day as Dushyanta is away, a hermit puts a curse on Shakuntala. The curse caused Dushyanta forget all about Shakuntala. However, the hermit had a slight change of heart. Because Shakuntala was too busy thinking of Dushyanta, the hermit told her friends that if Dushyanta were presented with a meaningful object representing his relationship with Shakuntala, he would regain his memory of her.
Unfortunately, as Shakuntala greeted Dushyanta once more, she discovered that he did not remember her. She remembered that he had given her a ring while they were together, but as she looked down to give it to him she realized it had slipped off her finger, probably while she was in the Ganges River. Shakuntala was then taken away by an invisible nymph up into the sky. Later on, a fisherman who was taken prisoner for thievery returned to the king the ring he had found and stolen from the Ganges.
The king suddenly remembered everything about Shakuntala. He returned to the ashrama to discover that he now had a son born from Shakuntala. The climax is reached as Dushyanta and Shakuntala meet eyes once more with a powerful connection. They fall back in love with each other and are blessed with eternal happiness by Maricha the perfect.
Dushyanta and Shakuntala are the main characters of the play, but even though the play is named Shakuntala, one believes that the protagonist is in fact Dushyanta. He is represented as a genuine king, all around nice man, longing for love. When he sees Shakuntala he is not thirsty with lust, but simply a gentleman interested in pursuing a healthy relationship.
However, we see that when he is king when Shakuntala arrives at his palace he is ruling, just and powerful. Shakuntala is a young, beautiful, innocent woman, but she is also cautious and pessimistic. At first sight of Dushyanta she stands guard of her emotions. At second sight she immediately presumes that its not going to turn out right p. Throughout the play, the majority of lines are spoken in prose, not verse. On the other hand, there are several times when a poem or lyric written by Kalidasa himself is said by one of the characters, which makes the play seem more poetic and rhythmic.
On top of that, most of the voices offstage speak in verse. One believes that the author didnt want to escape the tradition of verse ie. Ancient greek tragedies , but also wanted his own twist on the form of the language. The theme is difficult for one to put his finger on.
One theme is the struggle for one man Dushyanta to achieve the love of a woman, but his struggle is in vain as another man the hermit Durvasas takes the thoughts from that same woman. Even though it is not a situation where another man steals a womans heart, one believes that perhaps the author wanted to portray the piggery of men and how the competition between men is to be everlasting. Another theme could be that of love at first sight and how it is not only true but a part of life.
Either way, the main theme is of troubled, confusing, powerful love and how it can be achieved by two people, even in the most delicate of situations i. A king who has lost his memory and the emotionally sensitive daughter of a nymph.
This play is a romantic comedy, and the tone does justice to that genre. There is the romance between the two main characters, and the comedy which is brought out in their situation, their language and the Jester character.
Like every romantic comedy today, there is the inevitable dip in the plot which arouses different emotions in its audience i. Overall, however, the ending is a happy one, making this play an absolute delight to read.
Throughout the play, the audiences response to each action takes them on an emotional rollercoaster. We are swayed to the kings side as he pursues love and romance, and soon we are abruptly changed to Shakuntalas side as she is left alone and in despair. The ups, downs, twist and turns we are taken on as the play shifts from comedy, to romance, and to tragedy, leaves the audience with a meaning-experience: although the ride may be scary, by the end youre in love and willing to do it all over again.
This plays theatricality calls for three separate sets: the forest of the ashrama, the palace, and the scenes in front of the curtain. The ashrama should look welcoming, friendly, warm-spirited and nice. In contrast, one believes the palace should be large, intimidating and cold. The scenes in front of the curtain where Anasuya and Priyamvada pick flowers need only to have a few greens that symbolize a field, one in which the two friends can explore.
This play already has some similar traits to todays movies. For example, Sleepless in Seattle, starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, brings us on the journey of two people who are on opposite sides of the country. But by the end of the film the lovers are united atop the Empire Sate Building reminiscent of An Affair to Remember in what is, inarguably, one of the most romantic scenes captured on film to date. This type of plot has been used more than often in the past few years, so bringing this play into the modern world has already been proven as a success.
If one were to make an exact remake of this play with a modern twist, one would only change around a couple things: instead of being a king, Dushyanta could be a member of parliament, possibly a mayor. Shakuntala is a tale that takes the audience on a meaning-experience journey akin to a roller coaster ride. The ups and downs and twists and turns excel even the gods. It is well deserving of its renown, as is a play that is capable of touching the hearts of any person who has experienced the challenges and rewards that come hand in hand with love.

King Dushyant: The fleet animal has given us a long chase. Now, through fear of a descending shaft, he contracts his forehand, and extends his flexible haunches; and now, through fatigue, he pauses to nibble the grass in his path with his mouth half opened.

Forsaken Sakuntala painting Legend[ edit ] King Dushyanta first encountered Shakuntala while travelling through the forest with his army. He was pursuing a male deer wounded by his weapon. Shakuntala and Dushyanta fell in love with each other and got married as per Gandharva marriage system. Before returning to his kingdom, Dushyanta gave his personal royal ring to Shakuntala as a symbol of his promise to return and bring her to his palace. One day, a powerful rishi, Durvasa , came to the ashrama but, lost in her thoughts about Dushyanta, Shakuntala failed to greet him properly. Incensed by this slight, the rishi cursed Shakuntala, saying that the person she was dreaming of would forget about her altogether. The rishi, realizing that his extreme wrath was not warranted, modified his curse saying that the person who had forgotten Shakuntala would remember everything again if she showed him a personal token that had been given to her.

For my inaugural blog post, I would like to introduce my (probably non-existent) audience to one of the baddest, raddest, and most all around badass movies ever made: Ninja 2: Shadow Of A Tear. To give a brief one sentence summary of this movie would go as follows: Ninja’s wife gets murdered, he proceeds to kick the ass (actually he kills them) of everyone involved.
First up, ignore the fact that it is a sequel, the first instalment, Ninja, is largely forgettable and also completely unnecessary to understanding any element of the plot of Ninja 2. Scott Adkins (known for his roles in straight-to-DVD B-movies such as Undisputed II & III, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, and Expendables 2). Unlike most actors, Adkins is a skilled martial artist and this is reflected in the fluidity of his moves. He also looks the part, with a hard, muscular, fighter’s physique; he’s basically as built as a tank in this movie.
A BIG bonus point for this movie is the way the fight scenes are shot: no shaky cam, no quick cuts, no blurry closeups designed to mask the obvious presence of stunt doubles: just beautiful to look at wide angled shots clearly depicting every punch and kick thrown. These fight scenes put any and all big ticket Hollywood fight scenes to shame. The way the fight scenes are shot clearly reflects the director Isaac Florentine’s expertise in this arena, he had also directed the previous Adkins vehicles Undisputed II & III as well as the first Ninja movie.
Now let’s run through exactly what makes this movie so badass; it knows what it is, it doesn’t try to be anything else, and it does what it sets out to do perfectly. Exposition is kept to a minimum, and the plot is relatively straightforward (though surprisingly not without its twists). The plot is basically the same as John Wick, just a straightforward quest for vengeance. The acting is serviceable, and while Adkins certainly won’t be winning any Best Actor awards anytime soon, he does an adequate job for what is required of him here.
Despite the straightforward plot, the movie keeps things fresh and exciting through its main attraction, its fight scenes. Scott Adkins’ character, Casey Bowman, the titular Ninja (on another note: I have no idea how the Shadow Of A Tear part of the title fits into the movie, like, at all) fights people in his own dojo, in other dojos, in the jungle, in a bar, in his apartment, in the alley, and even in his bathroom. He uses swords, throwing stars, razor wire, ninja spikes, and corrosive ninja powder. Oh, and he also fought while drunk and high on drugs (two separate scenes). And there were not one, not two, but three ‘boss’ battles. Damn!
What about the romantic element? Great news for those who hate sappy stuff, his wife dies pretty early on and from then on it’s just straight up brutality.
To conclude: if you are in the mood for watching a movie featuring copious amounts of ass kickings, great fight choreography, and uh, ninjas, then this movie is for you!
“A man who seeks revenge should dig two graves.”
“They’re gonna need a lot more than that.”


Ever since World's Greatest Dad (2009), director and writer Bobcat Goldthwait had no trouble convincing me to throw all the money I have at him. A challenge came into clarity for Mr. Goldthwait. World's Greatest Dad became one of my all-time favorite black comedies. Could he top it?
God Bless America is a different kind of film. That makes it a good film. This film has no fear in getting the truth across. Definitely, it has no fear. Otherwise, a baby wouldn't have been shot leaving an explosion of blood... Within the first twenty minutes.
That said scene being completely shocking and morally wrong, I still managed to laugh uproariously. I knew I was in for a real dark treat.
In God Bless America, the story follows Frank (played by Joel Murray, known for his role as Freddy Rumsen in Mad Men), a middle-aged man met with a great deal of depression. He can't escape that depression. He tries to hide from it by watching television, but that doesn't let him break free from the state.
Now contemplating suicide, Frank realizes something. He has a gun. Why off himself when there are horrible people out there who are more deserving of that bullet? Frank's first target is a brat from the movie's hilariously depressing (depressing as in 100% accurate) spoof of My Super Sweet 16.
After the deed had been done, Frank is followed by a teenage girl, Roxane (played by Tara Lynne Barrr), who finds Frank's action to be completely fucking awesome.
Eventually, Frank and Roxy get together, teaming up to provide one hell of a killing spree.
Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr lay some excellent performances upon the table. Extremely compelling; you can feel the rage in their heart.
I'd even say that Joel Murray's performance is worthy of an Academy Award. I know it's early in the year, but given the Academy Awards' track record... This opinion is not too crazy. The sad truth is that this movie will not get any recognition from the old white men in charge of the Oscars.
Tara Lynne Barr is also particularly great. Her character is feisty and eager, Tara portrays it very well.
The acting compliments Bobcat Goldthwait's brilliant writing. More than a few laugh-out-loud moments are evident in this film. I found myself on the brink of tears with laughter. Such great pacing. The movie's not only funny because it's well-written, but also because it's so damn true. Kids whining about getting a BlackBerry for their birthday instead of an iPhone. That scene was handled so well.
It may seem like God Bless America's message is too direct. People have to realize that this movie doesn't need to be subtle. Right from the start, you know that. This is a violent film calling for kindness. That may sound ridiculous and impossible, but God Bless America proves that it is in fact possible. Definitely provoked some emotion out of me, reflecting on the state of our society.
Amongst all that substance, the visual look of the movie is downright gorgeous. The cinematography is flavorful. I had no idea who Bradley Stonesifer was, but now I have my eye on his future endeavors.
God Bless America is a dark movie. You can't really overlook that. I suggest it to every American who is mature enough to sit through an hour of bloodshed coupled with hilarity.

Medea and Other Plays (Paperback)
All sales of this book are final--it is print on demand and may take up to 3 weeks to arrive.
Euripides, along was Sophocles, and Aeschylus, is largely responsible for the rise of Greek tragedy. It was in the 5th Century BC, during the height of Greece's cultural bloom, that Euripides lived and worked. Of his roughly ninety-two plays, only seventeen tragedies survive. Both ridiculed and lauded during his life, Euripides now stands as an innovator of the Greek drama. Collected here are six of Euripides' tragedies in prose translation by Edward P. Coleridge: "Medea", "Hippolytus", "Hecuba", "Electra", "Heracles", and "Helen". The first play in this collection, "Medea", tells the horrific tale of a woman who seeks revenge on her husband by killing her children. "Hippolytus" relates the tragedy of its titular character, son of Theseus, and his tragic fall at the hands of Phaedra. "Hecuba" is the tale of a fallen Queen, the grief she feels for the death of her daughter, and the revenge she takes for the murder of her son. In "Electra" we find the daughter of a slain king plotting her revenge. In "Heracles" we find a hero racing to save his family from a death sentence. Lastly, "Helen" presents an alternate tale regarding Helen of Troy than that which sparked the Trojan War. For the lover of drama and the ancient world, this collection is not to be missed--Euripides is seen here in all of his valor and brilliance. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.


We are proud to announce that the first meeting of the 2012/2013 season will be a premier of Telemark Skier Magazine’s new movie, Let’s Go.

Custom (no name): You are a young actor, auditioning for a part in my theater company. When the audition begins, I explain that the part calls for improvisation and sometimes you may be asked to deal with adult & sexual situations. If you want to be a real actor, you won't break character.
Your audition consists of a couple of role play scenarios, the first of which is stepMother & stepSon situation. I want your character to be obsessed with my pantyhose & legs. I run through the scenario, acting out being your stepMother & eventually making you stroke while I show off my legs. When you're right on the edge, I stop the scene & praise you for your great acting. You were very believable.
I want to improvise another scene where I am your next door neighbor who is looking after you. I am obsessed with finding out what touching you is like. We run through the scenario, and I do get to touch you. I stroke your cock until I get you right on the edge, then I stop. I tell you that you have the part if you want it, since you're an amazing actor.
Since I'm offering you the part in my company, I reveal what this new job really means for you. You will be playing parts for different women so that they can act out their fantasies on a young man. You will play all sorts of roles: neighbor boy, nephew, stepSon, stepBrother, student... maybe even grandson. You will cater to their every request and desire so they have the sexual experience they've always craved. They'll touch your cock, maybe even suck it. What boy wouldn't want that?
Women will pay a fortune for such a unique & discrete experience. The catch is, I will keep the money. I work hard to train the new young actors & I deserve the money for my efforts. You should be grateful to receive such special attention & hands-on experience.
I begin to stroke you while I model my legs in black pantyhose, and I make you agree to my terms if you want to cum. We can rehearse all the time, so that you'll be an amazing actor. You agree to my terms, and I finally allow you to release.

She has always been an exceptional performer in the fashion, modeling and film industry but performing versatile roles as a lead female actor and model.

In this film, she has started her role with a sizzling item number song. The premiere and trailer of this show have been highly appreciated and loved.

Books - To - Movies: Romeo and Juliet
In this month's Books -To- Movie's blog post, I will delve into one of the most popular and adapted pieces of literature: William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. This particular literature is a play that is performed worldwide and read as part of the high school English curriculum. Like all of Shakespeare's work, it is in the public domain and is free to use without permission, and can be adapted.
Romeo and Juliet is popular because it has a simple plot and is one of Shakespeare's plays that is the easiest to understand, although it's written in old Elizabethan language.
The Elizabethan language is still very complex, and a couple of movies were made to guide one in the complex language:
Romeo and Juliet, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, was released in 1968. This adaptation for the screen is set in the historical time frame when it was written and used the straight Elizabethan language. The acting, some may criticize and say the film has bad acting because the actors are overacting. But Leonard Whiting's starry-eyed Romeo and the emotional Olivia Hussey's Juliet and John McEnery's Mercutio fits well with their tragic characters.
This was also the first big-screen version of Romeo and Juliet, and I believe the intense acting was done to aid the moviegoer in following the story. The only issue that I have with this film for anyone under 18 is that an adult needs to cover the underage child's eyes because of the partial nudity of both Romeo and Juliet in one scene.
The next big-screen movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that used the Elizabethan language with a modernization setting was Romeo + Juliet, directed by Baz Luhrman. This version was released in 1996 with Leonardo Di Caprio as Romeo and Claire Dane as Juliet. This version is clever in that it uses the Elizabethan language with a modern setting. If it weren't so too over-the-top and inappropriate for anyone under the age of 18 because of the adult content that is weaved in the story at the beginning of the film, it would definitely be a version for anyone who is struggling to understand the language.
The final adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that, in my opinion, got it right is the 2013 version directed by Carlo Carlei. In this version, the setting is historical times like the 1968 film, but instead of straight Elizabethan language, there was a mixture of Elizabethan and modern-day language. With this hybrid language, you could follow the story with ease.
The acting from Douglas Booth (Romeo) and Hailee Steinfeld (Juliet) was more natural and relaxed, and the film flowed better. As a moviegoer, I felt more attached to the characters because I understood what they were saying. Also, there were no inappropriate parts that I would have to cover an underage child's eyes.
So, I can not write about movies adapted from Romeo and Juliet and not mention West Side Story, directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins. West Side Story was released in 1961 (seven years before the 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet). In this adaptation, the set is modern-day New York City in the 1950s, and the rivaling families are replaced by gangs: The Sharks (Capulets) and The Jets (Montagues). This version is also a musical that premiered on Broadway in 1957.
To add more drama to the feud: The Sharks are Puerto Rican, and The Jets are white. This cultural/racial intensity fuels the flames, and the star-crossed lovers Maria (Juliet) and Tony (Romeo) find themselves in the middle.
Also, in West Side Story, characters' relationships with each other are different from Romeo and Juliet. For example, Bernardo (Tybalt) is Maria's brother and not cousin. Anita, Bernardo's girlfriend, represents both the Nurse and Lady Capulet (Maria does have a mother, but she is not seen). These relationship changes create tight bonds that are believable and relatable.
West Side Story also deters from the tragic ending. Yes, Tony (Romeo) dies at the end, but Maria (Juliet) does not. In turn, Maria morphs into the Prince character and chastises both gangs for feuding.
The popularity of Romeo and Juliet is still an ongoing fascination. During this pandemic, The Public Theater in New York City has developed a bilingual in English and Spanish audio play called Romeo Y Julieta, with Juan Castano as Romeo and Lupita Nyong'o as Julieta. You can listen to it here.
Also, a new version of West Side Story directed by Stephen Spielberg is coming out in December.
And if you ever visit Verona, Italy, you can see thousands of love letters posted to Juliet's House.

Is The Theater Genie Out Of The Bottle? New Movies Available To Stream
With last week’s release of Onward on Disney+, new movies are now available to stream. Growing up, direct-to-home video generally meant two things for sure. Low budget, and not good. My first experience with a direct-to-home video release was The Return of Jafar. If you ever get the chance to sit down and check out Aladdin’s first sequel, go ahead and take a hard pass on that.
The movie featured a vastly reduced budget, animation to match, Homer Simpson voicing the Genie, and a pretty forgettable story. It still had Gilbert Gottfried though, so at least there’s that. The movie was designed to launch the Aladdin TV series, and even as a kid, you could tell not a lot of effort went into it.
However, I’m here to talk about a different genie than the one granting wishes to Aladdin. While low budget movies frequently skipped the theaters, anything with significant money or a major name behind it went to the big screen. This is just the way things were. There was no concept of a major Hollywood blockbuster not going to the theater. Until now.
New movies available to stream – Is Onward only the beginning?
I’m not going to review Onward in this article, but I will say that I enjoyed it. I was sold on seeing it on the premise of Chris Pratt and Tom Holland alone. I believe Onward will be remembered as an important turning point in cinema not for the acting, or animation, but for the fact that it released directly on Disney+. Onward would have no doubt made Disney a fortune at the box office, so why release it on Disney+?
The answer is obvious, and we’re all living it. Coronavirus. Any movie that releases in theaters right now is basically putting its head on the chopping block. Instead, movies are choosing to push back their release dates. Already, we’ve seen Black Widow and No Time To Die push back their release dates until November. Mulan is now slated for a July release, and Jungle Cruise is being pushed back to next year.
However, not every movie is choosing to push back. Alongside Onward, Artemis Fowl is also now scheduled to release in May on Disney+. So, has the genie been let out of the bottle? We’ve always accepted movies being in theaters for 90 days because that’s how it was. I’ve never questioned it because I’ve never known anything else. Like so many of us discovering that you can in fact do your job from home, you now know that you can in fact watch a movie on streaming platforms first.
Will Disney be a trendsetter?
So will new movies being available to stream really shake up the industry? It’s worth noting that Disney won’t necessarily be an indicator of what everyone else will do. Disney not only owns Scrooge McDuck, but they own the money vault he swims in. They can take a massive loss on some films while experimenting with direct to streaming platform releases. Even then, Disney isn’t exactly testing this out with their heavy hitters. Black Widow and Mulan would have been much more risky properties to send direct to streaming services than Onward and Artemis Fowl, but it’s important nonetheless.
We can’t overlook the fact that Disney already has a widely accepted streaming platform however. Disney+ has been a massive success by just about every metric you can imagine. Warner Bros. doesn’t have a platform to match. Paramount doesn’t have a platform to match. Universal, Columbia, all the same story. So it doesn’t make sense to suggest they could just as easily pull of what Disney is doing. Their ‘streaming platform’ has been movie theaters for decades.
The future of the big screen
This won’t be like flipping a light switch, but I believe the genie may well be out of the bottle. If releasing movies direct to their streaming platform nets a big win for Disney, you’d better believe that will become their norm. Once Disney is raking in subscribers and a steady stream of money, other companies will look to replicate that success. It’s only natural when you think about it.
Traditional sports are struggling with the same issue. The home viewing experience is quickly becoming better than going out. Why buy an overpriced ticket and pay for parking to sit in a crowded tiny seat when you can watch from the comfort of your couch? Why buy obscenely expensive concessions when you can grab a beer from the fridge? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying there isn’t a place for movie theaters anymore. When the big-time blockbusters come out, there still is no replacement for seeing it on the big screen. And until that experience can be replicated, the theater will always have a place.
I think we need to acknowledge however that the role of theaters is changing. New movies being available to stream is going to force a lot of hands. The movie-going experience is going to become a very experiential thing. They can’t bank on the idea of people not being able to see the movie anywhere else anymore. Instead, they need to deliver a product that can’t be replicated at home. It’s going to be a tricky path to maneuver, but it’s a journey they absolutely must take. If not, their best hope for survival will be to find a genie of their own and make a wish.

The Betrayal by Terry Lynn Thomas
In my opinion...
A thriller set in the US that moves along at a rapid pace, with good dialogue and clearly drawn characters. I could see it as a tv series.
Unfortunately I guessed who the 'baddy' was early on and didn't find many twists to make me doubt my thinking.
Want to know more?
