This new adaptation will have kids cracking up — just don’t expect any musical numbers
“Peter Pan and Wendy,” a modern retelling of the classic J.M. Barrie play, has been racking up positive reviews since it opened earlier this month at Shakespeare Theatre Company.
The Washington Post said it was a “wittily contemporary rendition of Neverland,” while DC Metro Theatre Arts described it as a “majestically magical production . . . a show for all ages.”
My 8-year-old son, Levi, said it was “funny.”
I invited Levi to be my date on opening night because I thought he’d get a kick out of watching professional actors sing “I Won’t Grow Up” and dance to “Hook’s Tarantella,” two of the musical numbers he performed last spring in his ATMTC Academy theater class.
But as the show got underway, I quickly realized that Lauren Gunderson’s adaptation was not a musical. Oops.
Sitting in the mezzanine, I worried Levi would become bored without any high-energy song and dance scenes. And he did squirm in his seat quite a bit, but he also laughed — a lot.
He thought the Darling family’s repartee in the children’s nursery was hysterical (“They were just arguing about the same thing over and over again!”) and nearly fell out of his chair laughing when the Lost Boys welcomed Wendy, John and Michael into their underground home.
Tinkerbell amused him, too, but his favorite character was Captain Hook. “He was just really funny and pushing people away in a funny way,” said Levi. “He was also a good actor.”
Tony Award-nominated actor Derek Smith plays Mr. Darling/Captain Hook and Jenni Barber, another Broadway veteran, plays Mrs. Darling/Tinkerbell. Sinclair Daniel makes her Shakespeare Theatre Company debut as Wendy, a budding scientist with dreams of becoming the next Marie Curie.
Wendy’s brothers, John and Michael, are portrayed by Christopher Flaim and Chauncey Chestnut, respectively.
And Justin Mark plays Peter Pan, who, in Gunderson’s adaptation, brims with youth and joy but struggles to connect with others.
Levi surprised me by picking up on this aspect of Peter Pan’s character. “It’s important to keep people close to you and to take care of your friends,” he explained to me at the end of the play.
When I asked him whether he thought his 5-year-old brother would enjoy “Peter Pan and Wendy,” Levi said it might be too scary for him. I don’t necessarily agree — there’s a larger-than-life crocodile puppet that’s more fantastical than frightening — but I do think my kindergartner would have an even harder time than Levi sitting through the entire production, which runs two hours and 10 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.
In addition to humor, Gunderson’s script stands out for its “girl power” messaging. The playwright updated J.M. Barrie’s story to make the female characters — Wendy, Tiger Lily and Tinkerbell — the heroines in this imaginative adventure.
“It is very important to me that this play appeals as much to adults as to young audiences,” said director Alan Paul, in a press release. “Adult audiences will respond deeply to the play’s reflection on youth, time and mortality, while audiences young and old will find delight in the play’s magic.”
“Peter Pan and Wendy” is recommended for audiences 5 years and older, and youth tickets for children ages 5-14 are specially priced at $35. The show runs at Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Sidney Harman Hall (610 F Street NW, Washington, DC 20004) through January 12, 2020, with a New Year’s Day performance scheduled for 2 p.m. on January 1.
Shakespeare Theatre Company has also added a relaxed performance on Saturday, January 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets for this performance will be general admission, allowing audience members to enter and leave the house as they wish, and the sound and lighting will be adjusted to reduce the sensory experience.

Eddie Izzard - shopping at Mac store in Soho
New York City - May 14, 2014
When I was a kid I saw his HBO special. I watched it so many times I still know most of the words. It was the first time I saw a man dressed feminine, be funny, and not have women as a punch line. He didn’t slump out in front of the stage embarrassed by his clothing, he came out perfectly happy, hoping around, and didn’t do some silly feminine voice for laughs, he just used his voice, he wore his clothes, spoke about social injustice, and he was fucking funny. It was nice to watch a comedian and not be the fucking punch line or a flattened stereotype for laughs.
Eddie Izzard has always been my favorite since I was young. I never thought about it, but his identity and way he dressed were never really part of the joke. Being feminine was not for laughs and he unabashedly was who he was and never apologized. I saw him perform live and he’s positively electric.
He would walk on stage in full makeup and a sparkly dress and I think within five minutes of speaking he had a way of making every cis/heteronormative person stop seeing him as “atypical.” He always shut that down.
In recent years I haven’t seen him expressing himself as much, and I worried he was trying to conceal his love of dressing feminine in order to be more successful in the acting field, but I’m really glad to see he’s back to the bright lipstick and fierce nails.
He really did make being feminine a powerful thing and not just a punchline and he showed me a lot about gender expression and identity at a young age when I had never seen anything like it.
"They’re aren’t women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them." - Eddie Izzard


Paul McCartney's iconic song "Yesterday", is now inspiration for a movie. The Movie ' Yesterday ' is due out in theatres on June 28th. Looks like it will be a fun movie, anything with a lot of Beatles songs has to be good. Initial reviews aren't very great but I recall Bohemian Rhapsody was in the same spot, seems it did very well at the box office and at awards shows. Though in this case 'Yesterday' is not autobiographical it is fiction, still one has to think a Beatles Soundtrack is going to do as well or better. At the very least it will remind us of how great The Beatles actually were and that songs still hold up today. The plot of the movie is based on a struggling musician being the only one who remembers 'The Beatles' existed 'yesterday' as 'today' they are absent from everyone's memory. It's a brilliant premise and poses the question, what if these songs did just come out now, how popular would they be? If n

The Director of “Red Army” Returns with a ‘Cinematic Journey into the Secrets of Genius’—as Seen through the Eyes of the Great Wayne Gretzky, Jerry Rice and Pelé
ADK Film Society Screening Series @ LPCA continues Feb. 15-16 with Gabe Polsky’s “In Search of Greatness”
LAKE PLACID, NY — The Adirondack Film Society (AFS) is thrilled to present the regional premiere of “In Search of Greatness,” the latest groundbreaking feature documentary from award-winning filmmaker Gabe Polsky (“Red Army,” “Genius”). It is a cinematic journey into the secrets of genius, told through the eyes of some of greatest athletes of all time—most prominently, hockey great Wayne Gretzky, football Hall of Famer Jerry Rice and soccer legend Pelé.
The film is based largely on original interviews with Messrs. Gretzky, Rice and Pelé and features such giants in their respective fields as Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and Serena Williams and non-athletes David Bowie and Albert Einstein. Mr. Polsky’s previous documentary, “Red Army”—about the creation and development of the Soviet Union’s national hockey team and its fate after the squad’s breathtaking loss to the vastly underrated U.S.A. team in the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics—remains one of the best-attended programs in the four-and-a-half years of the AFS Screening Series at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts (LPCA).
As he did following one of the “Red Army” screenings back in November 2014, director Polsky will appear live via Skype to participate in a Q&A session with the LPCA audience after each evening’s screening of “In Search of Greatness” (insearchofgreatness.com).
The 2018-2019 edition of the AFS Screening Series @ LPCA, Version 5.0, continues with this highly acclaimed documentary feature on Friday and Saturday, February 15-16, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased in advance by visiting lakeplacidarts.org or calling the LPCA box office at 518-523-2512; they will also be available at the door. To learn more about the Screening Series or other AFS programs, please contact AFS Operations Manager Fred Balzac at 518-523-3456 or 518-588-7275 or firstname.lastname@example.org and/or visit adirondackfilmsociety.org.
Driven to Be Exceptional
“The filmmaker Gabe Polsky always starts with sports—in this case, the great Gretzky,” hails Adirondack-based photographer Nathan Farb, a highly regarded artist in his own right (and friend to the AFS). “He then tells a lot more about his real subject—in this case, ‘Greatness’—which can then be generalized to all human endeavors…. A wonderful film for sports fans and an audience interested in what drives each of us to be exceptional.”
What the critics and other media observers are saying about “In Search of Greatness”:
• “A must-see” — Sports Illustrated
• “A worshipful big-think” — Los Angeles Times
• “Peels inside the minds of geniuses” — Time
• “Great characters... filmed beautifully” — The New Yorker
• “An insightful and entertaining film” — San Francisco Chronicle
• “A welcome tribute to vision, innovation and knowledge” — RogerEbert.com
• “Eloquent and inventive look at self-expression in sports” — The Globe and Mail
Rated PG-13 (for brief language and some partial nudity) • running time: 1 hr., 20 mins.
These screenings of “In Search of Greatness” are partially underwritten by the Law Office of Brian P. Barrett, PLLC.
Coming Attractions You Won’t Want to Miss
The AFS is also pleased to present or co-sponsor the following film screenings:
● On Friday and Saturday, March 15-16, at 7 p.m., the AFS Screening Series at LPCA continues with “Eighth Grade,” a comedy-drama written and directed by Bo Burnham in his feature-film directorial debut. It is told through the perspective—including via selfie videos posted on Facebook—of 13-year-old Kayla Day (played by Elsie Fisher, who was nominated for a 2019 Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical or Comedy) enduring the tidal wave of contemporary suburban adolescence as she makes her way through the last week of middle school—the end of her thus-far disastrous eighth-grade year.
Common Sense Media hailed Ms. Fisher as “fabulous in writer-director Burnham’s poignant, sensitive exploration of the challenges of early adolescence in the age of social media and constant phone use,” while Screen Rant raved that the film “masterfully captures the emotional horror of being a Generation Z middle-schooler, yet tells a universally relatable coming of age story.”
● In the meantime, the Film Society is pleased and honored to be partnering with several other Lake Placid-/Adirondack-based organizations on two very special programs. First up, on Thursday, February 21, at 4 and 6:30 p.m. at the Palace Theatre, Elderwood of Uihlein (elderwood.com/location/elderwood-of-uihlein-at-lake-placid), the Palace (facebook.com/lppalace) and the AFS will present FREE community screenings of “Miracle,” commemorating the 39th anniversary of one of the greatest events in sports history—the hockey game between the U.S. and the Soviet Union during the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. The film stars Kurt Russell as legendary coach Herb Brooks. The Palace is located at 2430 Main Street in the heart of Lake Placid’s downtown dining and shopping district, where the box office phone number is 518-523-9271. Last year’s free community screenings, which were also at the historic, Art-Deco movie theater, drew approximately 500 moviegoers. And just like last year, this year the free admission includes free popcorn!
● Then, on Thursday, March 7, at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, the AFS will again collaborate on a screening (film and curtain time TBA) with the Adirondack Global Arts Festival (AGAF) (facebook.com/ADKGLOBALARTSFEST), LPCA and the grassroots freedom education and human rights project, John Brown Lives! (johnbrownlives.org), as part of the festival, which runs through Saturday, March 9. Last year’s AGAF screening was the 2018 Best Animated Feature Oscar-winner, Coco. While this year’s film choice was not yet selected at press time, members of the AGAF film committee promise it will be global in nature as well as an excellent illustration of the universal appeal of movies all around the world.
The 2018-19 AFS Screening Series at LPCA (Version 5.0) is scheduled to conclude on Thursday and Saturday, May 2 and 4 (film TBA). And save the dates for 18th Annual Lake Placid Film Festival (née "Film Forum"): October 24-17, 2019!

It’s that time of year… blockbuster season. May is the official kick-off of the blockbuster summer extravaganza and this year Marvel kicks off the season with Iron Man 3. You have to love Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, not only does he bring charm & wit to the role, he plays a super hero who is so cool he doesn’t have to hide his true identity from the public. Who wouldn’t want to be him? And who doesn’t want to be associated with him? His face is adorning magazines everywhere this month, not only does he save the world from super villains he is the purveyor of fine fashion onscreen and off. In the immortal words of Justin Timberlake… he is ‘bringing sexy back’.
By the way do you know what film was considered the first blockbuster? It was Spielberg’s Jaws. The term refers to the size & cost of the production but also ties in the financial success of the film. For example Waterworld may have had a big budget, but it flopped so it didn’t earn the term blockbuster, whereas Avengers definitely did last year. I wonder if any records will be broken this year?
When it comes to sexy onscreen Robert Downey Jr is rivaled by Leonardo DiCaprio in this month’s Great Gatsby. And who better to modernize the timeless novel than Baz Luhrmann. Recently while I was in Vegas I heard Todd Phillips (director of the Hangover series) comment that he always imagines Baz Luhrmann as attending the most outrageous parties. If you’ve seen Moulin Rouge you know exactly what he is referring to. But those parties pale in comparison to what he has depicted in Great Gatsby which hits screens a week after Iron Man. I have to admit I’m partial to Luhrmann’s work, being a big fan of his since Strictly Ballroom, but the latest trailer has definitely got me stoked about this film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozkOhXmijtk). I got to have drinks one time with his music director and that guy is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to pop music. The soundtracks to his movies are often as good as the films themselves. The same week as Great Gatsby we also have Peeples, Tyler Perry’s latest. Similar to Ben Stiller’s Meet The Parents this film depicts the hilarious talents of Craig Robinson opposite the beautiful Kerry Washington. Tyler Perry films are always big at Studio Movie Grill and we expect this film to follow in that tradition.
The next blockbuster hitting the screen in May is Star Trek: Into Darkness. This film is the most highly anticipated film of the month. In the film business we use tracking data to gauge a film’s success and this film is tracking with an 80% must-see rating. Not only was the reboot of the franchise in 2009 a huge success, the studio has definitely kept us waiting a long time for the next installment… four years. And the addition of Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain has audiences in a tither. The first movie was about Kirk earning his command, this movie is about proving he deserved it. Paramount recently showed us some extended clips from the film and they were terrific. I’m definitely looking forward to this one.
Then we have the Memorial Day weekend inferno. Squaring off against each other we have the final Hangover movie and Fast & Furious 6. I got to see one of the action sequences from fast & Furious 6 in its entirety, the one with the tank you see in the trailer, and it was phenomenal. Did you know that the Fast & Furious 6 has 4 times more likes than Iron Man 3 on facebook? This film is one of the most exciting films that will be released this summer. But we can’t forget Hangover III. At Studio Movie Grill we love the Hangover movies. What could be better than a movie that should be enjoyed with an alcoholic beverage? And this time they’re returning to Vegas! Throw into the weekend mix the film Epic from Fox Animation. We love family movies at SMG, it’s a great opportunity for families to entertain and feed their children at the same time. And when it’s a great film like Epic it makes it even better.
Yep, it’s going to be a great May…


This year our friends at Three Spires Guildhall staged the world famous “Half a Sixpence” at Coventry’s Albany Theatre. This is the third production we’ve been lucky enough to have photographed for the company.
It is hard for a photographer not to take delight in shooting a production that includes a song about a photographer!
This has been a challenging production for Three Spires and particularly for actor Ian John, who plays the lead Arthur Kipps, having stepped into the roll with just two weeks before opening night. We photographed the dress rehearsal and it was clear that he, and the rest of the company, have put in a huge effort to nail this production.

More About The Sound Of Music
It is set in Salzburg, Austria in the 1930’s.
Georg, Captain von Trapp, is widowed leaving him to find a governess to educate his children. He seeks help from the Mother Abbess of Nonnberg Abbey, who recommends a young postulant nun called Maria.
Maria is concerned at leaving the abbey to take up this position, but after meeting the seven children, she grows to like them and teaches them to sing and play – something that has been absent in their lives since their mother died.
The Captain is engaged to a Baroness, who is more interested in parties and the social life in Vienna, than befriending the Captain’s children. A party is held and the Captain and Maria end up dancing together. Maria realizes she has feelings for him, so returns to the Abbey. The von Trapp children are very upset at losing the one governess they love. Maria is also in turmoil, and seeks advice from the Mother Abbess.
Maria returns to the von Trapp household, where the Captain tells her that the wedding between him and the baroness has been called off. He admits that he has always loved Maria. They marry and leave for their honeymoon.
Whilst away, Max, a friend of the Captain, encourages the children to sing in a concert. Georg and Maria return to find that Austria is being taken over by The Nazis. Unhappy with the prospect of living under the Nazi regime and the Captain having to serve in Hitler’s forces, the von Trapp family decide to leave Austria. The family plan to escape immediately after the concert, and are pursued by the Nazis. They hide in the Abbey, and with the help of the nuns, escape to freedom over the mountains.

What is the nature of acting? Truth. What is an actor? A vessel. Why do we act? To be in the light of truth. Where is acting found? In you. Who is acting? All of us. Did you act? I did. Why not? I said I did. Why is acting an actor’s game? They are the game hens. When is acting not acting? After death. When can you not act but still be acting? All the time. Is acting everywhere or merely not? ‘Tis. Is the actor everywhere? Yes. Where is the actor? There and there and there. Are you the actor? Yes. Are you everywhere? I believe so. Think about it. Acting.


From Renee Bucciarelli, Director/Developer of The Shakespeare Playground
My first introduction to Shakespeare was an unexpectedly random event: at the age of ten, I saw a group of teenagers performing The Merry Wives of Windsor at a playground I frequented in the summer. I didn’t know at that age who Shakespeare was, but I did know I was spell-bound by what I was seeing and hearing. How were these kids—not much older than myself—able to express such a range of ideas and emotions in such explosively imaginative language? Who could have invented such incredibly intelligent, hysterically funny, motivated, and challenging women characters? Where could I see more of this? How could I do more of this? Thus began my love and study of Shakespeare’s plays, which continued to grow despite a few less-than-scintillating (but rather typical) English class experiences that followed.
I have been teaching and learning things from many wonderful children and teens for my entire adulthood. The Shakespeare Playground’s students have consistently and generously shared certain joys a theatre professional rarely encounters, but always hopes for: the joy of creating an ensemble in a non-competitive environment, and the joy of experiencing through an artistic medium the human conditions that affect us universally and connect us inextricably to each other. I am constantly amazed at how profoundly children and teens comprehend and relate to Shakespeare’s humor and pathos. And constantly delighted by the freshness and originality of their insights.
Our work at The Shakespeare Playground aims to:
• Inspire a student’s individual creativity in an ensemble setting,
• Activate young imaginations physically and verbally,
• And to help young people develop mutually respectful working relationships with their peers and teachers—all while exploring the work of the greatest author in the English language.
In humble ‘playshop’ settings, The Shakespeare Playground’s participants attempt to model The Globe–the name of Shakespeare’s theatre as well as our common residence–that we ultimately wish to inhabit.
This work and play continues to be “such stuff as dreams are made on…”

The Seattle Medium
As part of their celebration of women in comedy, the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) played host to actress Regina Hall last Saturday, who they honored with their 2019 award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinema.
The day-long event featured a VIP Brunch, an on-stage Q&A session and the screening of a new independent film starring Hall entitled “Support The Girls.” In the film, directed by Andrew Bujalski, Hall plays the role of a sports bar manager whose incurable faith and optimism in the girls that work there, her customers and herself are tested over the course of a very long and strange day.
According to Hall, she connected with the script because it had similarities to her own story, i.e. changes in relationships, relocating from a different place and the challenges of making new friends and being accepted.
“What I loved about the story is she found a placed that needed her and all the women in that restaurant needed her,” says Hall. “What I loved about what Andrew did was he still created a place of integrity and boundaries in a place we don’t necessarily think about having and the sisterhood.”
A native of Washington D.C., Hall, who has a Bachelor’s Degree in English from Fordham University in New York and Master’s Degree in Journalism from New York University, originally considered journalism as a career but admits that she also could have very well have been a professional student.
“I loved being a student,” says Hall. “I could’ve gone to school until I was 75 as long as somebody would’ve paid my rent.”
“I would’ve been a professional student,” she chuckled.
During the Q&A session, Hall says that she came from a very close family claims that it was her mother’s sense of humor that had a major impact on her.
“My family is very close and I would say that when it comes to my sense of humor I got that from my mother,” Hall responded to a question regarding her comedic talents.
Hall, whose career spans over twenty-two years, has been part of the emergence of Black films, Black actors/actresses, and Blacks working in the film industry that has taken place over the last two decades. Starring in films like “Girls Trip”, “Little”, “Think Like a Man” and the upcoming new Shaft film featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Hall has been a trailblazer in her own right. She recently became the first African American to win the coveted New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress and she has received nominations for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy series and Motion Picture, the Gotham Award and the Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress.
In 1997, at the age of twenty-six, Hall appeared in her first television commercial. Her television career began with a role on the soap opera “Loving” as well as guest appearances on the Fox police drama “New York Undercover”.
In 1999, Hall landed her first movie appearance in “The Best Man” alongside Taye Diggs and Nia Long where she made a lasting impression on viewers as the character Candace “Candy” Sparks and where she met long-time friend and fellow actress Sanaa Lathan leading to her second film “Love and Basketball”.
“It was my very first film,” recalls Hall. “I met Sanaa Lathan on it and we did Love and Basketball together, which was my second film and it was a big deal because I’d never been on set before.”
This was a pivotal moment in the career of Regina Hall.
With increased recognition and mainstream roles for African Americans in the film industry Hall’s work in Hollywood has cemented her as an A list actress representing Black women in a White male dominated culture.
In Hollywood, according to Hall, success is based on the numbers both in viewership and financially, it’s a numbers game and ultimately it is a business. Addressing the issue of Black success in Hollywood it is such a broad topic but to the point, with Black producers and directors such F. Gary Gray and Tim Stuart and others at the helm and when Black movies do well in the box office, its success and perspectives can influence people and having people of color, women, Black people who are working behind the scenes, success is always possible and that is when Hollywood takes notice.
Hall expresses, “that [African American recognition in Hollywood] is such a broad topic to talk about to answer in a sound bite, but I will say that when movies or television are successful financially, it ends up ultimately being a numbers game, you’re training people to think differently, to think broader and when you see the success of that, Hollywood, I always feel like it responds to success.”
“I think that movies that continue to do well and having a broader perspective, having women, people color, black people behind the scenes, making decisions says, “we can try this, we can do this,” says Hall.
Overall SIFF’s festival was eventful and a success as it promoted the contributions women in motion pictures, art and entertainment and the recognition of the work by Regina Hall was well deserved.
Christiane Owens — a photographer, artist and production assistant as well as a supporter of the Seattle International Film Festival — who was a guest at the event summoned up her experience in meeting Regina Hall and the festival as a whole like this.
“The event was delightful! I enjoyed the opportunity to meet the great Regina Hall in person as well as connect with a very diverse and vibrant group of SIFF lovers dedicated to supporting international and independent film making,” says Owens. “The experience was enriching and I would recommend SIFF to anyone looking to broaden their knowledge and perspective of the art of cinema.”


[Video] You Da One! Daniel Craig thinks Rihanna would make a good Bond girl…because ‘she’s dirtier’
He recruited both the director Sam Mendes and villain Javier Bardem to join him in the latest 007 installment, Skyfall.
And now Daniel Craig has revealed his top pick for the next Bond girl.
While being interviewed on Globalgrind.com the British star revealed he can see singer Rihanna playing the MI6 agent’s love interest.
After a moment’s hesitation, Craig, who is playing the legendary spy for the third time replied: ‘Rihanna, I think.’
Questioning Craig’s choice as to why he would choose the Diamonds singer he said: ‘She’s dirtier.’
But when the same question was put to Skyfall’s leading ladies, Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe, shortly afterwards they went for Beyonce.
Upon being told their co-star had picked the 24-year-old Barbadian recording artist on the basis of her being ‘dirtier’, the pair looked shocked.
‘Is that what you need to be a Bond girl?’ asked Naomie, who plays Miss Moneypenny in the new film.
On hearing the news Rihanna, who made her acting debut earlier this year in the sci-fi blockbuster Battleship, tweeted: ‘Daniel Craig Says Rihanna Would Be An Ideal Bond Girl.. this makes me happy :)’
Over the years the coveted role of James’ leading lady has gone to a range of actresses including Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger, Jane Seymour as Solitaire in Live and Let Die, Halle Berry as Jinx in Die Another Die, and Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in Dr No.
Daniel, who has just signed up for another two James Bond movies, recently revealed on the Jimmy Kimmel show that he had recruited both the director, Sam Mendes, and co-star, Javier Bardem, to sign up for Skyfall, the 23rd film in the 007 franchise.

We are a small cinema team based in Illinois who came together in 2010 to tell stories in a creative and meaningful way.
When we create our films, story comes first. We put people at the forefront, keeping it authentic, down to earth, honest, and personal.
Not every great story is about some magnificent adventure, larger than life persona, or fearless men of action. Sometimes the most compelling stories emerge from the small moments in life— moments that could easily be overlooked or dismissed as ordinary. It’s here where we find the story. Through our films, we call attention to those very special ordinary moments.


Syracuse Shakespeare-in-the-Park brings you the CNY regional premiere of August: Osage County by Tracy Letts! The powerful play written by Tracy Letts in 2007 was an award winning movie subsequent to its debut at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago and a very successful Broadway and National Theatre London run. The play won five Tony Awards including Best Play and ran for 648 performances in addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize! It has been compared to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, by the late Edward Albee, in its tenacity and ferocity as it sheds many lights on one family, some comic, but mostly tragic. These insights and body blows resonate with families trying to recover from life's twists and turns. How people change us and those we love as we deal with real and imagined problems like success and failure, love and hate and devotion and addiction are powerful forces that can color our existence now and in the future. You will laugh and you will cry but you will never forget this powerful show.


Winter Has No Sun is ultimately a film about change. The story follows two lifelong friends; Jake and Ted and their choices that lead their lives to spiral out of control. Jake is a kindhearted guy that plays it safe in life; especially with the girl he’s crazy for; Tori. When things don’t go as planned for the two of them, Jake loses sight of his true character and seeks out the dangers and thrills that he thinks he’s been lacking. Ted is a man blinded by love. He falls for a woman, Chloe, who is already taken by a man who abuses her mentally and physically. Ted tries to play the role of Superman with Chloe. But what he fails to realize is that he cannot change someone else if they are not willing to change themselves. His friendship with Jake starts to diminish when he starts keeping secrets and lies and falls into a rabbit hole of trouble which could possibly lead to his demise.


Rhona Mitra The Last Ship
Rhona Mitra has been doing a series of interviews to promote the second season of “The Last Ship”. Rhona stars as the pragmatic Dr. Rachel Scott, who is attempting to find a cure for a disease spreading around the world. The show is produced by Michael Bay of Transformers fame.
It’s yet another role for Mitra that sees her playing a tough character. Her combination of beauty and toughness have played well in a number of films and TV shows including: Doomsday, Strike Back and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.
Rhona talks about her character’s obsession with finding a cure and the sometimes extreme lengths she is willing to go to!
Read the full interview here.
Rhona Mitra Expendabelles
There is a lot of gossip surrounding the casting of the upcoming film “Expendabelles”. The movie is a spin-off from the popular “The Expendables” film, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Jet Li, Jason Statham and many other action-film stars.
The twist is that the ExpendaBelles will feature female leads. There is not much information about the film on the IMDB page just yet and the cast is mostly unknown.
Some of the rumored stars of the movie include Gina Carano and “Kick Ass” and Michelle Rodriguez from “Fast & Furious”. Some of the rumors have included older female stars who have had great parts in action movies in the past. Sigourney Weaver from the Aliens movies and Linda Hamilton from the Terminator series would be great additions.
Of course, our own Rhona Mitra has been mentioned as a potential star of the movie. Given her experience in Tomb Raider and Doomsday, she would be an ideal choice for an action hero!
Other names mentioned for the movie include Geena Davis, Sandra Bullock, Sharon Stone, Milla Jovovich and even Meryl Streep!
The plot for the movie:
When America’s Navy SEALs are wiped out trying to penetrate the island lair of a deadly despot who has captured one of the world’s top nuclear scientists, it becomes clear that there is no such thing as the right man for the job and that this is a mission so impossible that only women can handle it. The only way in: some of the world’s deadliest female operatives must pose as high-class call-girls shipped in by private plane to satisfy a dictator . and instead save the scientist and the day.
A trailer has been released for a new film starring Rhona Mitra. “The Loft” is set to be released in early 2015 and features Rhona Mitra as “Allison”.
The film is an R-rate thriller about five friends who find a dead body. The find leads them to conflict with each other and a thrilling conclusion!
The film also stars Wentworth Miller from the hit TV series Prison Break, James Marsden and Karl Urban.
Rhona Mitra Red Carpet Pictures
Rhona Mitra made a recent appearance at the red carpet premiere of the new movie “Up in the Air”. The premiere was held in Los Angeles at the Mann Village Theatre.
The movie stars George Clooney, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman and Danny McBride, and will be in cinemas from December 25.
The movie synopsis:
Ryan Bingham is a corporate downsizing expert whose cherished life on the road is threatened just as he is on the cusp of reaching ten million frequent flyer miles and just after he’s met the frequent-traveler woman of his dreams.
On a recent poll conducted on The Geek Files with under 6,000 votes cast, Rhona Mitra ranks 4th as the possible bet for the next Lara Croft role in the planned revamp of Tomb Raider.
Rhona Mitra received 9% of the total votes, beaten by Erica Durance (Lois Lane, Smallville) who had 14% of the votes, Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang, Smallville, Chun-Li, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li) with 23% of the votes, and the top-ranker, Summer Glau (Terminator Cameron – Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, River Tam – Firefly, Serenity) with 28%.
Rhona Mitra has offically played as Lara Croft on promotional appearances. Chances that the Underworld star, Rhona Mitra, playing as Lara Croft is growing dimmer today after the results.
Rhona Mitra was recently seen leaving a Beverly Hills Salon with a male friend! Mitra has just filming a new comedy to be released soon.
IN January, Warner Bros and producer Dan Lin announced plans to relaunch the Tomb Raider series. Lin has now told “About.com” a bit more about the franchise reboot: “It’s a great origin story that we’re going to tell. A very character-oriented, I would say more realistic, [film] than the past Lara Croft movies.”
“It is an origin story so it is a younger Lara Croft. I would say it’s like Terminator – character-driven action. I think for me the Lara Croft games and movies have gone a little too action-oriented. I wanted to have action, but with character. You want to honor the existing mythology but at the same time bring in new fans.”
So of course our mind wanders to cast, and Rhona Mitra fans know that Rhona is THE perfect Tomb Raider star. She has the body, the accent, the talent to pull off Tomb Raider with ease. Other rumors have included Summer Glau from Firefly/The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Megan Fox from Transformers.
I would LOVE to see Mitra get the role, just like she ‘fixed’ the bad reputation of the Underworld series, she could fix Tomb Raider.
Well I am a few months late in posting this news, but all is slow on the Rhona Mitra news front at the moment. Earlier this year, Rhona Mitra did an interview for goth girl site “Suicide Girls”. Suicide girls showcases super hot goth girls (with tatts/piercings) and talks about music and films, pretty cool site.
You can read the interview in full here.
Rhona Mitra is currently at Waltham Abbey to shoot scenes for a new British comedy! Other actors appearing in the film include Bridget Jones-star James Callis, and Hugh O’Conor, who appeared in the Oscar-nominated Chocolat. The film is directed by Bafta-nominated Yoav Factor.
The film is titled “Re-Uniting The Rubins”, and will feature the story of a dysfunctional Jewish family.
Lenny Rubin, played by Spall, is about to retire and take a cruise around the world when he is roped in to fulfilling his mother’s last wish to heal the rift between her squabbling children who are made up of a megalomaniac businessman, an eco warrior, a rabbi and a Buddhist.
The Underworld 3 bluray and DVD movie release is just around the corner, so don’t forget to snap up a copy. In celebration of the event (and because there isn’t any other Rhona Mitra news). Here are a few of my favourite Rhona Mita pictures. Enjoy!


Splódar Theatre Company in Manorhamilton presents “The Factory Girls” by Frank Mc Guinness, a story of the harsh working life of women in a shirt factory in Donegal in 1982.
Faced with a threat to their jobs, the women take matters into their own hands. They decide not to be beaten down but rather to stand against the odds.
On the 100 year anniversary of the movement towards women gaining the right to vote, this is a timely production. The author wrote that he ‘wanted to write a play that celebrated the working class culture of women in the part of Donegal I grew up in’ and his characters are lovingly and warmly crafted, based on people he knew including his family.
We witness relationships build between the women and the personal growth of individual characters. The plays witty dialogue performed by a superb cast under the directorship of Prin Duignan makes “The Factory Girls” a show not to be missed
Event cost: €16 & €12 Concession.

Movies are a broad medium allowing for a myriad of stories to be told through its lens. This includes the rise and fall stories of our favorite athletes as well as those of fictional ones, showcasing the more idealized version of the sports industry. There’s no lack of sports movies as each year a couple of new ones come out to entertain us with stories of practice, struggle, competition, and eventually victory. We’ve picked through some of these to bring you a list of the best sports movies of 2023.
To start off let’s look at a documentary on one of soccer’s greatest stars. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known by his nickname Pelé, has long since established himself as a legend. Achieving great performance in FIFA and being named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee guarantees you’ll get a few movies about yourself as well. Pelé has been showcased on the silver screen multiple times with movies such as Pelé Forever and Pelé: Birth of a Legend. The newest entry on this list is simply titled Pelé. The documentary is directed by David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas, whose past credits gave them a lot of experience to work on a project such as this. Although the movie takes a decent amount of time to elaborate on the tumultuous politics of Brazil during Pelé’s rise it still manages to cover the legend’s achievements. The political situation it covers also gives a new angle to the star’s rise, giving some new life to the threaded grounds of Pelé’s history.
The recent pandemic has heavily hobbled our ability to travel. Although the world is slowly going back to normal the lasting effects on both our daily life and budget made any relaxing trips we might’ve planned a lot more difficult. However, the new documentary short, Accomplice, allows us to vicariously experience some much-needed globetrotting. In this 52 minutes long movie directed by Jeremy Gantz, we get to traverse the globe with the world’s top mountain bikers. The sense of adventure this movie brings is unrivaled in the documentary sphere, making you feel the thrill of the ride through your screens. The impressive jumps and tricks are sure to send chills down your whole body while the terrifying possibility of injury keeps the tensions high.
3. Born a Champion
Let’s dip into the world of fighting sports for a second with Born a Champion. This movie may be entirely fictional but its raw emotion and highly intense choreography keep it feeling very real and visceral. The movie is directed by Alex Ranarivelo who already proved his mettle in the genre of sports movies with American Wrestler: The Wizard while the writer of Born a Champion is Sean Patrick Flanery of The Boondocks Saints fame. These two men manage to bring over a very impactful story with obviously experienced directing while managing to recreate the thrill of fighting sports perfectly. Born a Champion is also a very enjoyably paced movie with 112 minutes of runtime from which every minute feels meaningful. The movie may be a bit predictable to those who are well-versed in the genre but it provides an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
4. Baggio: The Divine Ponytail
Going back to soccer, we have Baggio: The Divine Ponytail. A story about an Italian soccer player, Robert Baggio. Rising into the rank of big names throughout his long career, Baggio has inspired many to follow in his footsteps. This biographical movie isn’t a complete summarization of Baggio’s influence and achievements but provides a very decent introduction into the man’s legend. Both fans and non-fans alike can indulge in some good, old-fashioned tale of struggle and success with Baggio: The Divine Ponytail.
5. Skater Girl
Now for a sport that we don’t see as often since Tony Hawk’s golden years, skateboarding. Skater Girl merges a coming-of-age story with a skating movie guaranteed to inspire younger generations or reignite older ones’ passion for sports. The movie is set in rural India, giving it a different perspective and a fresh take on skateboarding movies. The incredible nature of failing and learning that skateboarding entails is captured in this movie while showcasing the struggles of growing up in a place that doesn’t acknowledge your passion. The movie’s director, Manjari Makijany, is working on a documentary with a skateboarding theme as well so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, you can check out more new movies about sports and skateboarding on www.thevore.com.
6. Tony Parker: The Final Shot
Yet another documentary, this time revolving around a basketball star Tony Parker. The movie aims to examine the background and career of this famous basketball player. He has been on the basketball floor since 1999 and has entered the NBA draft in 2001. Since then, Tony Parker has achieved some formidable accolades in both NBA and EuroBasket. The movie itself encompasses his career, giving a more in-depth look at Parker’s achievements. One thing to keep in mind is that the movie is switching back and forth between English and French so make sure to keep subtitles on to avoid missing some dialogue that may occur during the switch.
On The Upcoming Movies
This year has brought us a lot of new sports flicks to watch regardless of their accompanying genre. We’ve had documentaries, dramas, coming-of-age stories, and the remaining releases of the year guarantee we’ll get a lot more than we bargained for in just a few months. For those who enjoy comedy and want to watch something sports-related with their kids, there’s Space Jam: A New Legacy coming in less than a month. On the other hand, if you enjoy documentaries then Magic Johnson’s new documentary will keep you sated. Few other sports movies have been announced such as Jersey, a movie about a retired cricket player wanting to get back into the game, and American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story, a movie about Kurt Warner’s journey from a supermarket worker to a two-time NFL MVP quarterback. No matter the sport you fancy this year will provide you with something to look forward to but we hope our suggestions will keep you entertained and engaged until those releases.


Four years ago, I compiled a list that ranked the then-ten Pixar movies in order of my personal love for each – not necessarily which ones were objectively the best, but the ones that were my favorites (a small but critical distinction). Then last year I updated the list, and now I’m doing it again in what I strongly suspect is becoming an annual tradition.
A disturbing (to me) trend I need to note here in the 2013 edition: none of the last three Pixar releases comes in at higher than eighth on this list of fourteen, meaning the last three have all been among my least favorites. (Again, though: “least favorite Pixar” is still better than most other animated flicks. Cars 2 excepted, of course.) And distant early warning on the next one doesn’t have me feeling confident: the Pixar brain trust recently removed Bob Peterson as director of The Good Dinosaur and replaced him with a team of their veteran directors. That doesn’t have to mean terrible tidings; Ratatouille and Brave both had their directors yanked midstream and were solid films, but the same thing happened to Cars 2, and we know how that turned out.
Speaking of that bottom-feeder…
14. Cars 2 (2011)
I remain convinced that the only reason this movie even got made was because Disney insisted as part of their purchase of Pixar in ‘06: “If we’re gonna buy you, you’re gonna give us franchises and more movies we can use to sell more toys.” Hence, this one and Toy Story 3 and likely the upcoming Monsters University. But (not to spoil anything for later in the list) they must have used up all the heart they had at the Pixarplex on Toy Story 3, because there wasn’t anything left for Cars 2. If they had to make a sequel to what had already been one of their worst movies, why did they have to focus it on Mater – a character who was only “annoying” when he was minor comedic relief, but completely intolerable as the focus? There was no authenticity to this movie, no sense that the filmmakers believed in what they were creating, and featured by far the worst script of any of the Pixar canon. It felt like a cynically easy cash grab and a vehicle (heh heh) for toy sales.
But it also broke Pixar’s track record of never making a crappy film. Technically as marvelous as any of their others, but a total failure in every other meaningful way.
13. A Bug’s Life (1997)
While A Bug’s Life was my least favorite Pixar movie up until the release of Cars 2, I want to note that I don’t at all think it’s bad. It’s still perfectly entertaining, and the leap in technology from Toy Story, their first film, to this, their second one, was immense – just look at that model bird in the big climax compared to anything from Toy Story. But A Bug’s Life also featured what would stand as their most annoying lead character until Mater, and most of the secondary cast, while funny, didn’t have any of the emotional resonance that even the minor characters from the great Pixar movies boast. This one gets a solid B from me, which is still damn good, if not truly Pixar-like.
12. Cars (2006)
I know John Lasseter’s “The Man” at Pixar and all (y’know, being the guy who founded the company), but this labor of love from him was… underwhelming. Again, certainly not bad, and it’s held up surprisingly well to the several thousand viewings of it I’ve endured thanks to my kids. The Boy especially is enamored of Lightning McQueen; the number of toys and articles of clothing I have with Lightning’s mug on them is positively staggering. But I think the fundamental problem with Cars was much the same as with A Bug’s Life: its lead character simply wasn’t compelling enough (Owen Wilson’s voice just didn’t connect with me) and the supporting cast was colorful but not especially engaging (Paul Newman’s Doc Hudson aside).
(Oh, ha ha ha – when I wrote this originally in 2009, this is where I said “Maybe that’s a problem which will get rectified in the sequel.” Ah, the naïveté of youth.)
11. Monsters University (2013) new for 2013!
I’d said in the 2012 version of this article that I wasn’t looking forward to this prequel to the number ten movie on this list – not because I was expecting it to be bad, but because I didn’t feel like it was a story that needed telling. And the movie we got was almost exactly the movie I expected to get: a safe, predictable, easily-digestible comedy that slid easily through the eyeballs, into the brain and right out the earholes. Or something like that. It was mostly forgettable is what I’m saying.
Except for the turn MU took at the three-quarter mark, when the recent Pixar tendency toward maturity and complexity kicked in, and we got an absolutely lovely moment (both visually and emotionally) between James P. Sullivan and Mike Wazowski. It wasn’t enough to much raise my estimation of the movie as a whole, but it was a good sign that Pixar’s still willing to bring the emotional hammer. It’s part of what makes even their lower-end fare stick out above the flood of mediocre animated movies that come out every year.
10. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
And now we enter the solid A-minus-and-up range with the movie that has been bumped down the list not because of any real flaws on its part, but simply because all the films ahead of it are better. And that “emotional connection” thing I mentioned was missing from the non-_Monsters_ movies above? Yeah, totally present here. There’s more pure emotion in the closing shot of Sully than in those last bottom three flicks on this list put together. (Pixar Show-Off Shot: Sully’s fur, especially when blowing in the wind and covered in snow.)
9. Toy Story 2 (1999)
In many ways, probably a superior film to the original Toy Story, but this list is rating my favorite Pixar movies, not necessarily the best. Story goes that Toy Story 2 was supposed to be a straight-to-video release (banging out straight-to-video sequels was pretty much standard practice with Disney’s animated features back then), but when Disney realized just how good it was, they had Pixar polish it up for theatrical release instead. And good thing, too: it went on to gross $245 million, making it the third-highest-grossing film of ‘99.
8. Brave (2012)
Honestly, I’m not yet sure if this slot is where Brave will end up after I’ve seen it a few more times. As of now it feels correct, but we’ll see; I suspect the mother-daughter relationship will only grow on me and become more meaningful to me over time. Certainly a gorgeous film, and with a fantastic lead character (I’ll admit I might have been happy to see a feisty redhead as the lead, having one of those myself), I think Brave suffers most solely by our expectations of what a Pixar movie should be; had it not so closely followed Up and Toy Story 3 and WALL-E, it might have seemed brighter in our collective eyes. But I also think time will be kind to it as we see it more times and realize exactly how much it’s not Just Another Disney Princess Movie (an entirely unfair accusation thrown its way by far too many lazy critics).
(Also: bears. I love bears.)
7. Up (2009)
Ah, Up – part of a string of Pixar movies which all made me cry. Jerks.
This brightly-colored meditation on death and the passing of love was occasionally difficult to watch – but joyous at the same time. It’s a fairly well-passed-around Internet meme at this point, but it’s true: Up told a deeper, more meaningful love story in ten minutes, without dialogue, than the Twilight films have managed over eight+ hours of screen time.1
6. Ratatouille (2007)
I realize this is higher than most people would put this movie, but I’ve always really liked Ratatouille, quite possibly because it was helmed by Brad Bird, my favorite animation director (and one of my favorite directors, period). One of the things I absolutely adore about this movie – even aside from the gorgeous renderings of Paris and the celebrations of both cooking and eating – is the fact that lead characters are so flawed. Remy is petty, obstinate, defensive and rash; Linguini is weak (to begin with, anyway), cowardly, willing to take credit not due him, and equally rash. Yet together, they manage to lift themselves above their “humblest beginnings” (so says the critic Anton Ego) to incredible successes – and they lift Ratatouille up, too.
5. Toy Story (1995)
I first discovered Pixar in 1992 when I saw their short film “Knick Knack” as part of an animation festival in Tampa. I immediately fell in love with the company – while they certainly weren’t the first company to produce computer-generated animation, they were far and away the best I’d seen yet – and I desperately looked forward to seeing more work from them. Then two years later, I heard they were producing a feature-length animated film to be released by Disney. I saw Toy Story the weekend it opened in theaters – a tradition I’ve continued to follow with all twelve of their subsequent releases – and loved it even more than I’d been expecting to. The technology obviously doesn’t hold up as well as one might hope, but hey, it’s almost twenty years old; that’s lifetimes in terms of software development. The story craft was already there, though, and (here’s a little secret for you) that’s just as important to me as the actual animation. (Toy Story also sparked some of my earliest love for Joss Whedon, before I even knew who the hell he was!)
4. WALL-E (2008)
WALL-E has to be one of the most engaging, sympathetic leads in any movie in recent history; the fact that director Andrew Stanton and his crew managed to convey those qualities with such limited dialogue really is a testament to Pixar’s animation genius. Yes, OK, fine – the environmental message can come across a little preachy. Or a lot preachy. But it’s a good message, so it doesn’t much bother me, especially in the service of such an excellent movie.
The Incredibles (heh heh)
3. Finding Nemo (2003)
One of the most finely-tuned scripts of any movie I’ve seen, animated or otherwise. Not a scene or line feels wasted to me: the Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay director Stanton received for this movie was very well justified. Nemo features one of the strongest supporting casts of any of the Pixar flicks, and the interplay between Ellen DeGeneres’ Dory and Albert Brooks’ Marlin still makes me laugh (and care) every time I watch it. Unsurprisingly, the bit about the overprotective father learning to let go gets to me, too. (Also, Nemo was the first of six Pixar movies to date to take home the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.)
2. Toy Story 3 (2010)
The antithesis in almost every way of Cars 2. This was a story that deserved to be told and characters who warranted re-visiting. Easily the darkest of Pixar’s movies, Toy Story 3 (which was rightfully nominated for Academy Awards for, among others, Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay) packed a hell of an emotional wallop, especially during an ending sequence in which I truly thought the animators might actually off their beloved cast. Thankfully, that’s not the ending they got; instead, not only did they get a happy ending but the right ending… as well as a new beginning. While the setup for a Toy Story 4 is most certainly there, I hope the temptation to make it remains merely that. (They’ve started making short films with these characters, and I’m fine with those, especially since all the ones I’ve seen so far have been hilarious.)
1. The Incredibles (2004)
Honestly? The Incredibles is my favorite movie, period. Here’s the thing: when I first saw the teaser trailer for this one before Finding Nemo and found out what it was about and who was behind it, my mind was already blown. It’s Pixar? And superheroes? And it’s written and directed by Bird, the genius behind The Iron Giant, my favorite non-Pixar animated movie? My expectations were so high that I was convinced there was no way this movie could possibly live up to them.
But it did. To make a bad Pixar joke: if my expectations were infinite, then The Incredibles went to infinity and beyond. The characters are richly nuanced and believable, the animation and design are stunning, the script respected its audience’s intelligence, the heroic action scenes had a “the way superheroes really would move” quality to them that I didn’t see matched until The Avengers… honestly, The Incredibles is in many was my platonic ideal of a movie, a film that feels like it was crafted solely with me in mind. I sincerely hope they never make a sequel, because I don’t think it could do the original justice.
Of course, Pixar’s blown away my expectations before…
Oh, like I even know if that’s true. I haven’t seen any of the Twilight movies. This is me engaging in the “lazy criticism” I accused other people of in regards to _Brave. Very well, I contradict myself._ ↩


Welcome to what is almost certainly the final Video Wednesday of 2018. By this time next week, I’ll be knee deep in Year End Countdown mode, so at least you have that to look forward to.
One track that will almost certainly be on the list is “Cry” by Mitchell Ferguson. The song earned Mr. Ferguson The Ghost’s Ghosty for Best Digital Single. The song now has a video go with it, directed by Jake Ryan Hull of Cinderblock local music fame. It’s a video that made a strong enough impact that I felt compelled to take to the blog to share and discuss it.
The opening shots of the video reveal an older gentleman sitting at a funeral for his wife. The man proceeds to place a rose on her casket, then walks out of the church, undoing his tie and taking off his jacket. What follows is a series of adventures that seem rather out of character for a man who just lost his wife. Those scenes are engaging and entertaining, but feel out of place with both the opening scene and the lyrics of the song.
It’s not until the final scene where everything comes together. Pay close attention to the words in the man’s journal. When you read it, that ending will hit you in the gut. And at risk of being cliche, it just might make you “cry.”

The second day on the set was no better than the first. In fact…it was worse. I was sorting costumes when I heard a fight erupt from the stage.
“Don’t you DARE come any closer Dillon.” Maggie shouted at him before slapping him across the face. “You’re a vile human being and I’d rather die than have you put your lips on mine. We can read lines together but you’re never going to touch me again!”
“Really now? I’m the vile one?” Dillon asks Maggie with a sneer. “Let’s ask your husband what he thinks about your nightly escapades at my penthouse.” He suggests in a hushed tone. Maggie’s eyes grow as big as saucers. “You wouldn’t dare…Dillon please. Don’t be a jerk” She pleads with him. “Oh, I’m the jerk? You’re the one making ridiculous accusations.” He exclaims angrily.
I sit back down and put my hand over my face. I try to shrink as far down into my chair as I could. “Why isn’t anyone stopping them?” I think to myself. “Because they’re all idiots.” I mutter. “I’m surrounded by them.”
At that moment Shane walks into the middle of the argument and begins barking orders. “Come on guys. Pull it together. We have a movie to make…or did the two of you happen to forget that? Let’s go!” He looks over at Maggie and says, “Are you okay sweetheart?” She gives him a small nod and blows him a kiss. “Yes dear.” She replies. Oh. Now I see why Maggie got one of the leading roles. She’s married to the director…


Capulet A Franciscan monk and a friend to both Romeo and Juliet.
As a monk of the Franciscan order, he is devoted to preaching, caring for the sick, and doing missionary work.
As the high priest of the parish, he serves as the father confessor of all in the play, both Montagues and Capulets. A peace loving man, Friar Lawrence is greatly concerned about the rivalry between the two families and seeks a way to bring peace between them.
Because of this desire, he consents to secretly marry Romeo and Juliet, hoping that their union will be able to reconcile the warring factions. Perhaps Friar Lawrence is too kind and willing to assist all that come to him for advice or help.
When Romeo comes to him about a marriage ceremony, he agrees to perform it quickly and in secret, even though he reproves Romeo for fickleness and impetuousness.
He also promises to send news of Verona to Romeo during his exile in Mantua; in fact, he tells Romeo he will try to devise a plan to reunite the two lovers.
After Juliet is forced by her father into a betrothal to Paris, she goes to Friar Lawrence to seek his advice. The good Friar is now in too deep to turn back. Knowing plants and poisons, he suggests that Juliet take a potion to make her appear dead and actually gives it to her to take back to her bedchamber to drink.
By drinking the potion, fair Juliet can prevent her marriage to Paris. Friar Lawrence arrives at the tomb after Paris, Romeo, and Juliet are dead.
Since he is present when the authorities arrive, they suspect him of murder and arrest him. Because he has written a letter that proves his innocence, he is soon exonerated. As a man of religion, he is extremely sympathetic to the problems of others, especially of Romeo and Juliet.
He tries to do his utmost for them. The preposterous nature of the means he adopts to help the lovers only points out his humane approach to their problems. If Friar Lawrence has a flaw, it is caring too deeply and too much. Tybalt Tybalt is the nephew of Lady Capulet.
As a young man, he seems to represent what Capulet must have been in his young days; but he has none of the redeeming features of his uncle and is more like his aunt.
With his quarrelsome nature, Tybalt is like a fireball, ready to explode at any moment. He discourteously leaves only when he is threatened with disinheritance, and even as he does so, he vows vengeance on Romeo in the future. He later sends a letter to Romeo challenging him to fight, merely because he has dared to enter the dance hall.
He walks about the street seeking his enemy. When he finally meets Romeo, he insults him by calling him a villain. Romeo, because of his new found love, refuses to fight with him.
When Mercutio interferes, Tybalt fights with Mercutio and kills him. He flees for the moment, but after some time returns to face Romeo again. Romeo fights and slays him.
The death of Tybalt snowballs the crisis for Romeo and Juliet. Tybalt does not possess any pleasing qualities, any superior mental ability, or any gentlemanliness.
He is hot tempered, discourteous, defiant, and quarrelsome. His only claim to fame is as a duelist, and his only good points are his loyalty to the Capulets and his normally proper manners. Lord Capulet Lord Capulet, the head of his family and father to Juliet, is about sixty years of age but calls himself young.
His evident wealth ranks him with the many merchant princes of his time, but his social status is lower than that of the Prince, Paris, and Mercutio. By personality, he is fiery, pugnacious, interfering, forgetful, and domineering; but at the same time, he can be courteous, hospitable, and generous, as he appears at his party.
He delights in entertaining lavishly and personally welcomes and jests with his guests. When Tybalt tries to insult Romeo, one of the guests, while at the party, Capulet tries to pacify him and then threatens to disinherit if he does not behave under his roof.
Lord Capulet is much guiltier than Montague about continuing the rivalry between the two houses, and it is his faction that usually provokes the fighting.Summary: The gamble that Friar Lawrence is playing on Romeo and Juliet's lives is unfair, since Friar Lawrence is the confessor to the couple and the more fatherly figure to Romeo, the Friar should have discussed the complications that would arise from their marriage.
"Virtue itself turns vice. Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence occupies a strange position in Romeo and Juliet. He is a kindhearted cleric who helps Romeo and Juliet throughout the play. He performs their marriage and gives generally good advice, especially in regard to the need for moderation. He is the sole figure of religion in the play.
Friar Lawrence - A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and grupobittia.com, civic-minded, a proponent of moderation, and always ready with a plan, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that the union might eventually bring peace to Verona.

When I was growing up I watched a lot of stuff I wasn’t supposed to. I remember watching MTV in the early 90’s when there was a series of animated shows that were grouped under a portion of the channel called “Liquid Television.” It was the Adult Swim of the day. These shows were geared towards an older audience so I had to be sure to change the channel when someone walked into the room. The one that stood out to me the most and still ranks high on my list of great animated series’ is Aeon Flux.
It’s a very twisted and beautifully animated body of work created by Peter Chung. The storyline is centered around the love hate relationship between two characters, a rebel spy and an authoritarian dictator in a futuristic setting. Besides the amazing animation and countless creative takes on technology, one of the best parts of this show was the complexity of the themes expressed. Symbolism was heavily placed throughout so it’s one of those shows where you don’t catch some of the undertones upon first watching.
There was no chronology to the episodes so anyone could watch their first episode and be just as “WTFed” as a person who’s seen the whole series. The nice part about this is that it adds a great amount of versatility to the storyline. It’s also great because the audience gets to explore these characters through a variety of scenarios as opposed to one storyline. The depth and relevance of this series amazes me. The fact that two decades later a movie/game adaptation was made starring an A lister like Charlize Theron is a testament to the value of this animated short from 1990’s late night MTV.


From hating to dating to mating and everything in between,"Boys and Girls, " is a new romantic comedy that explores the games the opposite sexes play.
Ryan (Freddie Prinze Jr. ) and Jennifer (Claire Forlani) are opposites who definitely do not attract. At least thats what they always believed. When they met as twelve-year-olds, they disliked one another. When they met again as teenagers, they loathed each other. But when they meet in college, the uptight Ryan and the free-spirited Jennifer find that their differences bind them together and a rare friendship develops.
Now with the help of their roommates- the wild and ever hopeful Hunter (Jason Biggs) and the flirtatious Amy (Amanda Detmer)-theyre about to find out what men really want, what women definitely need and what happens to friends when going for it....goes too far.
Freddie Prinze Jr. (Shes All That), Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black), Jason Biggs (American Pie) and Amanda Detmer (Drop Dead Gorgeous) star in the Dimension Films comedy "Boys and Girls," directed by Robert Iscove (Shes All That) from an original screenplay from "The Drews," Andrew Lowery and Andrew Miller. Jay Cohen, Lee Gottsegen and Murray Schisgal are the producers.
Heather Donahue (The Blair Witch Project), Alyson Hannigan (TVs Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and pop singing sensation Monica, head a strong supporting cast.

Sun-hee and Tae-yul become Keoko and Nobuo. Korea is torn apart by their Japanese invaders during World War II.

In A Video Letter to Barbara Hammer, Carducci comes out as transgender to Hammer, his mentor and friend, placing transmasculinity in the context of feminist and queer politics.

PROGRAM 7: HOMAGE TO BARBARA HAMMER
Barbara Hammer and Joey Carducci in person.
This program pays homage to queer cinema pioneer Barbara Hammer in the context of the theme of feminist film genealogies by placing two of Hammer’s films beside a work by her mentee, Joey Carducci, and a film they made together. Hammer’s DYKETACTICS articulates lesbian desire and sexuality through the physicality of the female body and the materiality of the film medium. NITRATE KISSES weaves striking images of four gay and lesbian couples with footage of an unearthed forbidden and invisible history. In A VIDEO LETTER TO BARBARA HAMMER, Carducci comes out as transgender to Hammer, his mentor and friend, placing transmasculinity in the context of feminist and queer politics. Their collaborative film, GENERATIONS, is about mentoring and passing on the tradition of personal experimental filmmaking. Hammer, 70 years old, hands the camera to Carducci, a young queer filmmaker. As they shoot during the last days of Astroland at Coney Island, the filmmakers find that the amusement park architecture and the emulsion of the film medium itself echo the inevitable fact of aging.

Jake Sully aka Toruk Makto (Sam Worthington) and his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) live happily on Pandora with their four children – Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Loak (Britain Dalton), Tuk (Trinity Bliss) and Kiri (Sigourney Weaver). They also have Spider (Jack Champion), an orphan human. During this time, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) comes back as a special Avatar to take revenge on Jake Sully and his people. He kidnaps Spider and takes him away. In order to protect his family, Jake decides to shift his home to a new place, where the Metkayina clan lives. But, Colonel and his Sky people are inbound to this new home too. How the forest and water people together save their families from the humans forms the rest of the story.
James Cameron, the mastermind behind the epic story of Avatar and its sequel, already revealed the story in the trailers itself. Still, he makes the movie a great experience to watch with his outstanding characterizations and screenplay.
The way James connects both parts (movies) is quite good. He gives a neat explanation and makes things easier for people to understand the connections between the first and second parts. The way he connected some of the key characters from the first part made the film an emotional experience.
The beauty of Avatar 2 is not only the Navi people but also the creatures they love. James Cameron shows the emotional bond between the giant creatures called Tulkun and Navi clan in a beautiful manner.
Coming to performances, it’s the children who performed well. Their innocence, fighting spirit and zeal to learn new things have been showcased in a good manner. Kiri and Neteyam will leave a solid impression on us once we leave the theater. They give their best. Tonowari (the leader of the Metkayina clan) played by Cliff Curtis and his wife Ronal (Kate Winslet) justified their roles. Stephen Lang nails it again with his villainy behavior.
As mentioned above, it’s the story. The plot is so simple and one can guess it by watching the trailers. However, James Cameron narrates it well. Moreover, the film has a runtime of over three hours which can make it hard to sit for a few. The slow narration gives you boredom and makes you think about why so much lag has been created.
Compared to the first part, James Cameron focused much on emotions, especially with the kids. Jake Sully and Neytiri don’t have much screen presence in the first half. Also, the character of the Colonel could have been written better. To be frank, he is less impressive than in the first part.


It looks like good ol’ Kailyn Lowry is having beef with one of her baby daddies again (what else is new?!?).
This time it’s with Chris Lopez. Chris has been pretty vocal on how he’s more or less trying to distance himself from the show. Chris made it very clear that he was over the cameras when he threw a fit at his son’s birthday party. His main motto is to have his privacy when it comes to himself as well as his kids, which isn’t a bad thing at all.
But it looks like Kailyn is trying to rope him in on something regardless. Now Kailyn is stirring the drama pot by going on a rant after Chris threatened her with legal action because MTV caught him on their cameras when he stated his stance on being filmed on numerous occasions. Kailyn would call him “ridiculous” for being mad about being on the show.
Chris continued to state that Kailyn was purposely creating fake drama with him just for the sake of the MTV cameras and storylines.
The Sun revealed that in numerous Instagram stories, the couple we back and forth trying to place the blame on one another, which led to some crazy posts. I say give the man his privacy!
