Inspiring a Brand: Faltrego Films' Top 20 Cornerstone Videos
Updated: Feb 10, 2019
Back when Faltrego Films launched in October 2018, a mentor at the time set me to the task of compiling a list of 20 videos that inspired me personally; videos that spoke to me as a filmmaker and that together would come to form the basis of Faltrego Film's narrative and aesthetic identity.
It was the single most useful task.
These videos have become a cornerstone, and what I personally look back on every now and again to remind me of what Faltrego Films stands for and aspires towards.
Without further ado, here is my list of my Top 20 Cornerstone Videos.
1. Supersymmetry | Film by Trent Jaklitsch
One of my favourite videos, ever! I'm a big fan of poetic voiceover married with archive material. Macro and micro: highly emotive and personal narrative juxtaposed with epic, cosmic imagery. In short, I love space and astronauts.
2. Berlei Womankind | Film by Kim Gehrig Awesome messaging. Again great integration of archive with original live action footage.
3. You’re Dead, America | Poem by Danez Smith | Film by Jovan Todorovic Amazingly important and political topic with incredible poetic storytelling. Once again, wonderful integration of archive footage. And filmed with gorgeous grain!
4. Girl Like Us Molly Perkins | Film by Sing J. Lee
Feminism and film grain. A kickass girl that inspires us all. What's not to love?
5. MENTORS: Hillary Allen | Film by The North Face
6. MENORS: Ruth Beatty | Film by The North Face
Love the use of split screen and outright reflexivity of these two documentaries for The North Face, Nick Broomfield would surely approve. And then I'm just a plain sucker for light refraction and shooting through glass (the reason I take my prism with me everywhere!)
7. Muladh an Óige | Film by Scott Carthy
A great ethnographic. Always great to have such a real sense of character and environment. Love the split screen again, of course.
8. Memaw | Film by Christian Schultz
We should all make films about our grandmas, let's be honest, Hugely personal and highly emotive; a wonderful character-driven film.
9. Project Alive Finn | Film by Caravan
Highly emotive. Love stories about families and children.
10. Subaro 'Love' | Film by Trent Jaklitsch
Another great film by Trent Jaklitsch. Clever storytelling and again highly emotive.
11. Making movement with my body | Film by Zika Liu
Incredible use of steadicam. Super smart camera techniques and gorgeous editing.
12. Born Feminist | Film by Sally Beauty
Great messaging, Great use of speed and tempo changes. Excellent lighting and colour. Sucker for light flares and glitching. Love the integrated typography.
13. Pat's Story | Film by Freedom Aged Care Ok so if you're after glossy, gorgeous actuality this is the video. Beautiful portrait shots. Shiny, shiny.
14. Human | Film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand One of my favourite films. This is the most perfect use of a studio setting.
15. The Somniloquist | Film by Adam Rosenberg
A great video with a social experiment at it's crux. Great mix of live action and kinetic typography.
16. SHELTER Human Stories from Central America | Film by Matthew K. Firpo
It's raw human stories that make a film compelling. Love Matthew K. Firpo for documenting social injustice without frills. Wonderful use of angles to protect the contributors and great sensitive storytelling in its purest form.
17. Animated Minds: Stories of Postnatal Depression | Films by Mosaic Films Some seriously important storytelling. Amazing personal narratives and beautiful animation.
18. Part Time Heroes : A Sea Shepherd Documentary | Film by Quentin van den Bossche
What a story, touching upon environmental and sustainability issues and all beautifully shot. Some great aerial and underwater shots. Gorgeous.
19. Challenger | Film by KOINRUSH
Cool vintage grain and film stock, with an awesome colour grade, One seriously good-looking film.
20. Chasing the Baja 1000 | Film by KOYO
A great example of how big brands can use reflexive documentary to create an awesome viral film. The film shows the importance of 'the journey' as part of the narrative and reflexive documentary can makes this possible. Nice and personal too. KOYO is also an amazing filmmaker.
What's your favourite?
Do you agree or disagree? Are there any techniques in these films that you would like to try our for your campaign film? Let me know your thoughts on these videos, and even your favourite out of the bunch, in the comments or on social media. Instagram: @faltregofilms


Ensemble in Blood Brothers
My final show of 2018 was the musical written by Willy Russell. We performed at the Bathhouse Cultural Center near Whiterock Lake. The cast was phenomenal and the production crew made this wonderful show possible. This production made for an excellent final show of 2018. I would like to express my gratitude to Joe Messina and Scott Eckert for their work in guiding the cast and crew towards the creation of such a magnificent show.
Sammy in the Wedding Singer
It is my pleasure to announce my return to the Stolen Shakespeare Guild as Sammy in Wedding Singer! We perform at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center.

REVIEW: “Angell in particular was so damn hilarious in this production number with his acting choices and facial expressions. Plus, his comedic timing was razor sharp with the lyrics. The entire group of men in this number were down right hysterical!” -John Garcia of the Column.
Ty in Sordid Lives
It was a pleasure working with Rachel Lindley and the rest of the cast and crew of Sordid Lives in in the late Spring of 2018. I portrayed the role of Ty dealing with mixed feelings over the loss of his grandmother, the woman who forced Ty’s uncle into a mental institute due to his homosexuality.

Bound to the Billionaire: Lie to Me
Wall Street intrigue forces a woman to go to a billionaire investor for help to protect her family from a scandal. The one man she swore she would never fall in love with. The one man who can save her, protect her family and find the truth.
But first she has to lie to him about her motives, so that he will help her save her family's reputation. But in the process she might lose her heart to him, and everything she's fighting to protect.
Bound to the Billionaire: Her Surrender
When her billionaire boss finds out her boyfriend was stealing from the tech firm where she works, she strikes a bargain to keep her boyfriend from prosecution.
A bargain that will require her to spend two weeks on his private island estate, and be open to all of his desires


It is safe to say that every single person has watched Harry Potter.
Whether it is just one of the movies or all of them!
The super fans will have also read all the books and probably even been to Harry Potter World!
But, there are some things that we didn’t know about Harry Potter.
Here are some super interesting facts that not many of us will be aware of! Enjoy!
1. Voldemort + Patronus = no
It is known the Voldemort doesn’t have the ability to love because he was conceived under a love potion.
But, because Voldemort doesn’t have one single happy memory this makes his ability to conjure a Patronus impossible.
2. Moaning Myrtle
We all found Moaning Myrtle secretly annoying, but this was her job as an actor. Moaning Myrtle was meant to be a 14 year old girl.
But, the shocking thing was that the actress who played Moaning Myrtle, Shirley Henderson, was actually 37 at the time of filming.
3. Why can’t Voldemort love?
There is an actual reason as to why Voldemort can’t love which explains a lot about him as an actual character.
Voldemort was actually conceived under a love potion, which then deletes any way of him expressing love throughout his life.
4. The cast and the characters were similar
It was recognised that the cast and the characters that they played were really similar to one another.
The director requested that each member of the cast wrote an essay about the character they were playing. Hermione wrote a full essay, Harry wrote a few pages and Ron didn’t even turn his in.
5. Viktor Krum
It took Hermione to be asked three whole times to the Yule Ball before she agreed to go with Viktor Krum.
This was all down to the fact that she kept hoping that Ron would ask her. However, he never got down to it.


Are you familiar with the play Shirley Valentine? At BlueRock Wealth Management, we are thrilled to be sponsoring a production of it for Theatre Collingwood at the Gayety Theatre. We’d love to see you there for the evening to enjoy this great show with us. The play will be held on October 24, 2015 and will start at 7:30 that evening.
This play follows the monologue of a middle-aged, working class housewife from Liverpool who decides to go on a holiday abroad. While she’s there, not only does she find romance, but she also rediscovers who she is and figures out what her life can be like as long as she puts in a little bit of effort.
What we love most about the play is the main character, Shirley. Shirley definitely isn’t afraid to tell you exactly what’s she’s thinking, and her funny, interesting take on life is delightful and charming. We’re confident that you’ll leave for the evening with a smile on your face.
This play was originally written by Willy Russell. When it shows at the Theatre Collingwood, it will be directed by Dave Campbell.
At BlueRock Wealth Management, we enjoy being involved with our local community and ensuring that the arts in Collingwood thrive. Make sure you buy your tickets to Shirley Valentine as soon as they become available at the theatre office or online! We can’t wait to see you there for a night at the theatre.

Learn more about Rebel Wilson: https://deadline.com/2018/11/cats-movie-rebel-wilson-cast-as-jennyanydots-andrew-lloyd-webber-1202504908/
Cats is a classic musical that is timeless and is cordial in all generations. The 1981 musical production was first directed by Trevor Nunn and had the choreography done by the amazing Gillian Lynne. Cats is loved by all audiences from anywhere around the world – it concerns and revolves around a story of a tribe of cats, the “Jellicles” a nd the dilemma of the approaching night that they make their “Jellicle choice” – which is a ceremony on which cat will be chosen to be promoted and ascended to the Heaviside Layer – and be resurrected to a new life.

With the recognition that the musical production has achieved, they have done numerous tours all around the world and has been translated and done in over twenty languages.
Cats is a powerhouse musical production which rightly deserves a movie adaptation of its own – and it deserves a rightfully powerhouse cast. The Cats movie adaptation is the perfect avenue for Rebel Wilson to showcase her singing prowess and her charming comedy. She is set to play as Jennyanydots, a “mice mentor” that teaches mice to learn music, chochet, and tatting.
The Cats adaptation will also star Idris Alba, Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson, Judi Dench, James Corden, Steven Mcrae, Frencesca Hawards and Ian Mckellen – the cast will also be accompanied by the Royal Ballet principal dancers.
The movie adaptation of Cats has been i the dreams of Steven Spielberg for almost three decades now and at this present age, it is now about to come to life.
The movie industry and Hollywood better buckle their seatbelts because Rebel Wilson, along with the whole cast of the movie adaptation of Cats, is about to blow everyone’s minds. And as of now, Rebel Wilson is just getting started – we have yet to see her in full bloom and everybody is absolutely anxious for her best season by far.


Ninja Theory launch Senua Studio to offer realtime Virtual Characters for Stage, Film, Broadcast, Games and VR
Senua Studio now open for business
Cambridge, UK – September 2nd 2016 – Ninja Theory Ltd, the UK-based videogame developer has today launched Senua Studio, a new division offering specialised services to bring realtime virtual characters to life for stage, film, broadcast, games and VR.
Ninja Theory, along with partners at Epic Games, Cubic Motion and 3lateral stunned the industry at Game Developer’s Conference in March this year by revealing that a scene for their upcoming game Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was actually being performed live on stage by an actress in front of attendees and rendered into the game world in real-time.
At Siggraph in July, the teams introduced the concept of Realtime Cinematography, whereby a complex scene was performed, captured, edited and rendered live on stage in minutes in front of over 2000 attendees from the VFX industry – a process that would normally take months. Having won the Siggraph Award for Best Real-Time Graphics and Interactivity, Ninja Theory have launched Senua Studio, a new division dedicated to offering solutions for live capturing and rendering of realistic digital characters in incredible virtual worlds.
Speaking of the announcement, Tameem Antoniades, co-founder of Ninja Theory said “We have demonstrated working solutions today, and want to push forward the future of realtime entertainment, be it live performances of digital characters for stage or broadcast, shooting fully-rendered CG scenes in realtime for previs, or interacting with believable characters in VR.”
Companies working with Senua Studio can rely on an entire technical pipeline – including the creation of realistic digital characters and virtual sets. The team makes innovative projects accessible to all, without the need for internal expertise in cutting edge animation technologies.
Nina Kristensen, co-founder of Ninja Theory and CEO added “With Senua Studio we are offering our considerable technological, artistic and production expertise to visionary partners excited about the impact realtime technology could have for their business”.
Senua Studio is open for business in the following areas:
- Live Performance: Realtime technology and expertise allows actors, music artists and performers to live drive digital characters on stage or in broadcast and interact with a live audience.
- Realtime Cinematography: Expertise in shooting, editing and rendering final or near-final quality cinematics for games, broadcast or film in realtime, rather than the weeks or months it takes with traditional methods.
- Pre-Visualization: With realtime cinematography, directors can see unprecedented levels of pre-visualization quality including full facial performances of the actors, lighting, vfx and camera shots. An added benefit is that the assets are optimised for use in VR experiences.
- VR Experiences: Combining expertise in realtime virtual human technology and 16 years of games creation to deliver truly immersive VR experiences offering full interactivity not possible with offline video.

What does a good Drama student do motivational poster
Last updated 22 February 2013, created 10 December 2009, viewed 4,029
This is a motivational poster for students of drama - the central title is What does a Good Drama student do? Have high levels of energy. Speak and listen to members of their group Think creativily and imaginatively Pay attention and don’t go off task Just helps to serve as a reminder of how to behave the best way in drama.


The 1995 movie adaptation of Sense and Sensibility is maybe my favorite movie adaptation ever and is certainly in my top five movies of all time. I will watch it when I’m happy, when I’m sad, when I’m wistful, when I’m tired. It makes my heart happy and is one of my go to tools in the self-care toolbox.
While I have read many Austen related books I had never poked around into books about the movie adaptations. Then in May of this year the existence of this book (and its availability in my library system) came to my notice and it went onto my request list immediately. Which, the timing was excellent because July and early August have just been brutal in my world and an evening with Emma Thompson, her diaries, the shooting script, and the movie itself seemed just a thing I deserved to give myself.
Which is exactly what I did. The book has a lovely introduction from the movie’s producer Lindsay Doran who shepherded the movie’s creation from thought to final product. I then flipped to the rear section of the book and read Thompson’s diary entries from the filming and enjoyed her wit and a peek behind the scenes. Then I pulled up the movie itself and read along with the shooting script sections (and the behind the scenes photos) while the movie played. What I noticed was the few places where obvious cuts had been made, and the places where it was much more scalpel like cutting, in some of what are now my favorite scenes. But what I was really struck with was how some of the best scenes on film come directly from the scene set-ups before dialog begins (I’m thinking specifically of Thompson’s Elinor watching Edward and Margaret out the window). A fine way to spend an evening, especially while home sick from work.


If you have not heard by now, Eminem is set to return to the big screen soon. He has been picked to play a boxer in the new film Southpaw. According to moviefone.com, the movie has an unfinished script but has already been picked up by DreamWorks. The director, Kurt Sutter, felt that Em could relate the struggles of the boxer to his own struggles in the past few years. Peep what Kurt had to say about Em's relation to the character:
"At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five years of his life, using the boxing analogy. I love that the title refers to Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to hip hop; dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It's a much harder road for a southpaw than a right handed boxer."
This will be his first major role since in '8 Mile'. Em definitely played that part well. How do you think he will do with this role?

Film screening and artist talk in OKK, Berlin, Prinzenallee 29,
Exhibition opening times: 31.1.- 20.2., Thurs.-Sun. 15 – 19 Uhr
On Saturday 15th February at 7p.m. in the OKK Gallery in Berlin, short films from Ukraine will be shown as part of the exhibition “Euromaidan – Occupied Spaces”.
Fragments of short films about the Euromaidan protests in Kiev curated by Ukrainian film-maker Dmitriy Tiazhlov will be shown for the first time in Berlin alongside films from the Babylon 13 initiative.
After the screening, a discussion with artist Yevgenia Belorusets will take place, focussing on media representations of this protest. It will also consider the many surprising and unpredictable developments and perceptions of this protest movement, which continues in Ukraine.
How can the experience of art, when it is incomplete and not self-sustaining, help us to understand current political and social reality? Are we able to perceive a thorough reality of a protest which is taking in a faraway country, when media representations of news are superficial? Is it possible for us to take a stance, and take responsibility for this reality, especially when we are not taking part in it ourselves?
About the exhibition: http://kritische-kunst.org/de/euromaidan-besetzte-raume
CONTACT: OKK, Pablo Hermann, E-Mail: email@example.com, 017625857519

IP Man 3 is a thoroughly enjoyable action the has quite a few heart warming scenes. The film tells story of Bruce Lee’s teacher as he fights against gangster wanting to take over a school while he learns his wife has a tragic illness. The film provides as its hallmark incredible action scenes coupled with innovative camera angles. The film however felt to long and the supposed antagonist feel one dimensional at best. For instance, Mike Tyson plays a mob boss but the film gives only a weak excuse of prime real estate for tbe reason why he wants to take over the school. The final confrontation between IP Man and other wing chung master feels tacked on than a natural conclusion and once again the audience is given no real motivation as to why he dislikes IP Man version of kung fu. Overall it is an enjoyable movie but the loose plot only servers to move the story enough until another action scene is needed.

The 1990 Night of the Living Dead is an interesting retelling of George Romero’s 1968 zombie film. What I enjoyed most of the film was that it was not a shot for shot remake of the original rather the film provides the cast of characters with new and interesting motivations. For instance, Barbara in the first film is quite timid and docile to the chaotic world around her. This version provides us with a stronger female lead as she takes much more initiative in the decisions the party makes. In reverse, Ben is a much more vulnerable man as he tried to find semblance of reasoning of his situation. The other characters tend to have the same arch. I feel that this film focused more sympathetically on the part of the zombies. It was overtly obvious that it Romero wanted the audience to feel that ultimately humanity feeds on itself. The most disappointing aspect of the film was the zombies. I felt that with Tom Savini credited in this film we would have received more rewarding effects. Overall the 1968 version feels more concise in its message and the 1990 version feels rushed and unfocused.
Dunkirk is a cinematographer’s dream. The film provides audiences with a cavalcade of visual delights while still being precise a blade. The drawback of the movie is largely its plot and overall story. The characters lack any outstanding traits that they come across as too generic that when they are asked to make some heroic gesture it feels forced at best. Dont get me wrong from start to finish Dunkirk is a visceral masterpiece but the individual parts of this machine lack originality to the point of apathy. The editing was interestingly chosen as Cameron through the later part of the film allows the audience to piece together the several snippets given in the earlier part of the film. The down side is that Cameron doesn’t allow the audience to take in the moment before cutting away to another location. I really tried to attach myself to someone I this film but we don’t spent enough time with anyone to try and begin carrying for their wellbeing. The overall visual experience is worth the price of admission however without any memorable characters this film may be lost in time.

#Aliens #Moviereview #ScFi #horrormovie #actionmovie
Director: James Cameron
Writers: James Cameron, David Giler, Walter Hill, Dan O’ Bannon, and Ronald Shusett
Stars: Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Carrie Henn
Aliens is a wonderful representation of the science fiction action film. The film provides audiences with well choreographed actions scenes while giving horror films fans some memorable moments as well. The performances by each of the main cast added to the tension while the detailed scenery allows the audience to feel so to the action.
The strongest aspect of the film is its cast of characters. Ripley played by Sigourney Weaver gives a truly emotional performance as she moves from being a more passive character to being a more proactive action heroine. The supporting task plays their roles perfectly as they are a group of space marines treating their next mission as standard operation in which they are fully prepared. What I love most about the marine characters is that when their plans go array the story allow them more avenues in expressing their true selves. For examples Private Hudson played by Bill Paxton. Private Hudson initially comes across as a macho filled individual who seems enjoy his violent work. However as the move progresses we see his true self as a young man who just wants to go home.
The use of practical and special effects truly elevate this film from being a good movie to an all time classic action film. The use of miniatures the close focus on characters truly make one claustrophobic and anxious about what is behind each corner. As a horror fan what I loved about this film was that James Cameron did not show the Alien outright at the start of the film rather there was general increase an attention to the importance of not giving away the true star of the film. The films has few negatives such as run time seemed too long and there several earlier times when an ending felt more natural. I for instance did not feel Ripley needed to fight the Alien Queen with the loader as she faced her fear in the facility on the planet.
Overall I highly recommend everyone to go out and watch this film.
Dad’s Army (2016)
#DadsArmy #WWII #Moviereviews
Director: Oliver Parker
Writers: David Croft and Harnish McColl
Starts: Mark Tandy, Russell Balogh, Andrew Havill, and Michael Gambon
I know it has been several months since my last blog post but I hope you all have been well and continue to read these reviews.
Dad’s Army for those interested was previously a British sitcom that ran from 1968 to 1977 on the BBC. The main plot line of the show comprised a group of volunteer tasked with preparing for the possible of Britain by the Germans during WWII to comedic affect. The television characters ranged from an uptight captain, a rather aloof to an overzealous corporal all the characters had a down to earth charm about them that is a credit to the actors that played those roles. So when I saw the trailer for Dad’s Army some time ago I thought it would be nice to expose a new generation of possible fans to this beloved television show. Sadly I was mistaken in every expectation.
Dad’s Army (2016) was a complete disappointment in particular the characters and the plot. Every character in this film comes across as one dimensional with no charm. The aspect that made the television series great even from the first episode was the sincerity of motives for each character. The film did not allow any of the characters to truly grow as they felt dumbed down which made me feel sad when they tripped on their own plans. For a comedy like this to work, the characters have to feel genuine in their actions. The performances were unmemorable as every time a character spoke I kept thinking that I could have been watching the series instead.
The plot was the weakest point of this film due to its most out of place character of Miss Rose Winters played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. The final cut of the film ultimately made Ms. Winters seem very much like a modern day woman who was dropped in to WWII Britain. The purpose of Ms. Winters is that she is a German spy tasked to obtain information regarding the sea fortifications of coastal Britain. She is unwittingly aided by the volunteer group who can not see her beyond her physical beauty to see her true motives. I continuously rolled my eyes as each time the gang swooned over Ms. Winters when it was obvious to us she was playing them for fools.
Overall I do not recommend that you take the time to watch this film but do take the time to look in to the original series.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Director: Ridley Scott
Writers: Dan O’ Bannon, Ronald Shusett
Stars: Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Bill Crudup,
Alien: Covenant can best be described as a tensionless film that offers very little to audiences to hold their attention. The film is filled with too many visual one dimensional characters and relationships that moments of supposed drama fall within the realm of indifference. The visual aspects of the film are well done as one can expect from a Ridley Scott film. The location choices, physical sets created and the attire of the characters all felt appropriate.
For those looking to watch Alien: Covenant I would advise you to first watch Prometheus (2012) as Alien: Covenant is the direct sequel. The overall plot is one seen in most of other Alien movies. The film follows the crew of the Covenant and its two thousand plus colonists as they make their way to a new planet. The crew stumbles upon mysterious signal on a planet that appears to good to be true. The crew eventually meet David (Michael Fassbender) following an attack from a “baby” alien. The plot eventually leads to the crew becoming aware of the why the planet though picturesque is essentially empty of life and David’s role.
The only saving grace for the film is Michael Fassbender who plays two roles as David the same synthetic Prometheus and Walter an updated version tasked to serving the Covenant crew. The interactions between David and Walter is best described as an older brother younger brother relationship. David being the “older” brother has let his negative experiences with humans be the driving force for his pursuit for a twisted view of creation. Walter being the “younger” brother is more naïve as he knows very little beyond his primary duties. The plot hints of David slowly trying to entice Walter to accept his world view.
The rest of the cast was a generic collection of people that the film did not bother to appropriately develop making their struggles meaningless. For example, Daniels (Katherine Waterston) in the first part of the film looses her husband and the captain of the ship. Though this should be a heart wrenching event it happens far too early to make the audience care because we know nothing about her. This can also be said of Tennessee (Danny McBride) and Karine (Carmen Ejogo) as their relationship as husband and wife is never truly established other than a few throw away lines of banter between them.
The reason why Alien (1979) was such an effective movie was that it did not go beyond itself and try to be a grand tale. Alien (1979) was essentially a slasher film in space. The tension in the original was slowly increased over time the audience could feel the fear alongside the crew. By trying to create an epic sci-fi story out of Alien is very much trying to build a house with to few resources. Ultimately the ending of the film leads to the covenant heading back on course with a few new crew members.
I recommend those reading this review to wait until this film is available on their on demand service or when its physical release is drops in value. I do not think that this movie justifies someone taking the afternoon to pay full theater prices and food.
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Writers: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Stars: Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Scarlett Johansson
Hail, Caesar! is one of the worst films I have ever watched. The film offers no redeeming qualities in regards to an engaging plot, likable or interesting characters, or even a notable message or comment. This “film” can best be described as a series of images that offer no artistic or entertainment value.
The strongest aspect of the film (I use strongest as loosely as possible) as a poor attempt to comment on the studio system and Hollywood itself as just a machine for the elite to broadcast their version of the acceptable. This was poorly executed as the dialogue felt more fluff than substance and it was not supported by the surrounding environment or characters.
The plot of the film follows Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) who is a studio fix who is tasked to ensures the films are made in a timely manner. We follow Eddie during the course of a few days as we tries to put out fires involving a pregnant unmarried starlet (DeeAnna Moran/Scarlett Johansson a kidnapped dolt (Baird Whitlock/George Clooney), all the while the studio’s prestige picture gets done. These series of problems may seem interesting on paper but on camera the actors are one dimensional and unappealing. I do not know if this a deliberate attempt to comment on films today but the fact it is so ambiguous does not help.
The only redeeming character of the film is Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich). Hobie is very much the “regular” guy of the film as he is presented as western star embarking on a more dramatic role. Hobie throughout the film is very much a more appealing character in that we are given most insight in to his motivations as to why he is a movie star. Hobie for lack of a better phrase is person not a character.
The coen brother’s films have been known for their less than coherent plots but Hail, Caesar! provides nothing of value for the audience. There are no characters to keep one interested for the length of the film, there is no interesting scenes that one should wait to see, and the message of the film is too muddled to be effective.
I do not recommend this film to anyone as even the most die hard coen brothers fan can hardly justify this being at most an average movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Director: James Gunn
Writers: James Gunn
Stars: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a wonderfully entertaining film that includes a compelling plot, excellent character development, and a sense of joy that many recent comic book movies have failed to do.
Guardians of the Galaxy is the first film in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe that has been able to accomplish the task of making their main characters 3 dimensional. Throughout the film we seen Star Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot, Rocket, and yes Yondu transform from just characters on paper to real people. For example Yondu (Michael Rooker) in the first film is very much a basic villain and comedic foil for Star Lord. The sequel paints him as a much more broken character who has to live with his past choices and his struggle to redeem himself. Star Lord (Chris Pratt) when finally meeting his father is faced with an emotional struggle in which he has to choose between the “real family” he just met and the family that has been there all along. James Gunn handles these swings in emotional tones quite nicely as they are under cut by lines of humor to keep the move light.
Guardians Vol. 2 is also the first Marvel movie to have an interesting villain played by Ego (Kurt Russell). Ego is very much a charismatic individual which allows our hero’s and the audience to be very open to his plans. Ego also is the first Marvel movie villain that has a plan that is more complex than getting a McGuffin to take over the world. The film showcases Ego as thinking on a much larger scale than previous bad guys.
Music is once again a central component to the success of this film. A combination of late 70s early 80’s songs are sprinkled appropriately in to the film which enhances the emotional elements for the audience. For example, the film begins with us joining the Guardians fighting a creature as a job. James Gunn under cuts the seriousness of the threat by opening the film with a song by Electric Light Orchestra.
The films has no glaring weakness other than a few moments where James Gunn may have slightly over used comedic to undercut what might have been serious monologue by the characters. For instance, when Nebula (Karen Gillan) completes a very raw monologue about the harrows she faced as a daughter of Thanos the other character in the scene gives an almost t.v. sitcom response that could have been left on a serious note.
If you have not guessed by now I am recommending this film to anyone and everyone because it is more than just another comic book movie. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is the first film I have seen this year that can be described unironically as fun.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Director: Wes Anderson
Writers: Stefan Zweig and Wes Anderson
Stars: Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a fairly entertaining comedy from Wes Anderson. This film in my opinion is the best example of a “Wes Anderson” film that Wes Anderson has ever made. From his use of particular camera angles, lines of dialogue, color patterns and even his use of miniatures it is very much a true expression of his film making prowess. That said the characters sometimes feel one dimensional to a fault with the overarching plot feel more flash than substance.
The strongest part of the film is also its most trying aspect. The film is shot in two ways either characters are moving horizontally which they are tracked by the camera or characters are moving towards the camera down hallways. I am not a film expert so please forgive me if I don’t know the technical terms. However, my point is that after the first act one can stat predicting how the rest of the film will be presented. Some may like this style but I felt these continued view points did not add to the story or tension or anything more to the film.
The overall cast of characters was quite lacking aside from Ralph Fiennes (M. Gustave). M. Gustave is the concierge and in his own words is the main reason why visitors go to the hotel. As the film progresses the comedy is in the ability for Gustave to remain pretentious even in the mist of danger ultimately until the end. This is contrast to the other walking caricatures that Gustave meets and knows. I got the sense that the character Gustave was Wes Anderson’s way of looking down at almost paint by the number movies that are produced today.
I would recommend this film to those who are firstly fans of Wes Anderson. I would also recommend this film to those studying cinematography as the film’s camera style is a good teaching tool. Those expecting to have fits of laughs when watching a comedy this is not for you. The dialogue is dry and there are very few outright “jokes” to keep you entertained.
As always thank you for taking the time to read this review.
Justice League Dark (2017)
Director: Jay Oliva
Writers: J.M. DeMatteis and Ernie Altbacker
Stars: Matt Ryan, Camilla Luddington, Jason O’ Mara
Justice League Dark is a solid film that serves as an introduction for new comic book fans to the supernatural world of Detective Comics (DC). Prior to watching this film I was not fully aware of the variety of DC characters that focused on the supernatural. Upon completing this film I was quite intrigued with characters Constantine and Etrigan to the point of going to my local shop and buying a few issues. For those looking for a fully formed plotlines and characters the hour and fifteen minute run time is going to leave you feeling unsatisfied.
An interesting aspect of this film is that Batman (Jason O’ Mara) is very much the vessel that helps the audience enter the world of Justice League Dark. The general plot begins with events around the world in which individuals are performing horrific acts on each other as if they were seeing demons. Batman goes out and seeks John Constantine (Matt Ryan) in hopes of obtaining insight on to what is going on. The film proceeds to present the rest of the case with brief flashbacks to explain their motivations and powers.
The weakest point of the film was its limited run time. An extra 20 to 30 minutes would have allowed more time to give Constantine a more thorough back story. The film portrayed Constantine as a one dimensional cliché of the selfish badass who has a heart. I would have enjoyed a short presentation of how John became the foremost authorization of magic and the supernatural and why every character had some grudge against him. This goes for Zatanna (Camilla Luddington) as she is also very much veiled in mystery.
I recommend this film to established Justice League Dark fans who are looking to get their friends in to this series in DC comics. I feel that DC should have offered in the box an online subscription to this series so that audiences have the option to follow up with the characters they just watched.
As always thank you for taking the time to read this review.

Drexel Student Fringe Piece Puts "Parts" on Display (For Immediate Release)
July 22, 2013
Drexel Student Fringe Piece Puts “Parts” on Display
Philadelphia, PA - The Drexel Players are returning to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival with Parts: A Speed-Through, an immersive theatre experience conceived, produced, written, and performed solely by Drexel students and alum. The piece is a theatrical "undressing" about the unique, beautiful, and tragic relationships young theatre artists share with each other. Performances will take place in University City in Drexel’s brand new URBN Center Annex at 3401 Filbert Street on Friday, Sept. 6 @ 8pm, Saturday, Sept 7 @ 6pm, Sunday, Sept 8 @ 2pm, Friday, Sept 13 @ 8pm, and Saturday, Sept 14 @ 6pm. This production marks the first time a Fringe show has been performed in Drexel’s brand new Black Box Theater.
Parts: A Speed-Through invites its audience into the world of a fictional college theatre ensemble at a fictional university as they tech, open, close, and strike their production of the fictional stage classic, Town, by Gene Wilder. “We envisioned this piece to be a slightly skewed self-portrait of the Drexel Players,” says producer/co-director, James Haro (’13), a recent Entertainment and Arts Management graduate. The producing team also includes Drexel Players President Mike Ambler (’14), Vice-President John VanZelst (’15), and Entertainment and Arts Management major, Julie Mercik (’14).
The Drexel Players made their Philly Fringe debut last year with MONUMENT, a devised piece conceived by Laurel Hostak (’12) and directed by Cara Blouin. Hostak returns this year to co-direct the piece alongside Haro. Parts: A Speed-Through marks the second time the Players have devised an original piece of theatre on their own. The Players also collaborated with The Riot Group in 2012 to create “The Poet Laureate of Capitalism,” directed by Whit MacLaughlin, through Drexel’s Mandell Professionals in Residence Program run by Nick Anselmo.
Tickets are $7 and will be available at the door or through fringearts.ticketleap.com.
Sponsors for Parts: A Speed-Through include Flying Bulldog Productions, The Drexel Theatre Program, the Entertainment & Arts Management program of the Westphal College of Media Art and Design at Drexel University, and the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design.
As the university's only undergraduate theatre organization, The Drexel Players apply foundations in art, science, and industry to engage students in the creation of fresh and thrilling ensemble work. Drawing from a core of artists and collaborators with interdisciplinary backgrounds, they strive to empower student theatre artists, to stimulate audiences, and to ignite a passion for theatre in all.

We were about 20 minutes into Love Lies Bleeding, when I realized: "Oh. This is True Romance." The latter is a Quentin Tarantino scripted and Tony Scott directed film about two lovers in the midst of darker circumstances than either really wants to engage in, who end up being forced to engage and fight their way out. In the latter film, it's Christian Slater, playing a nerdy comic book store employee, and Patricia Arquette, playing a vagabond turning tricks to try to make it somewhere. In Love Lies Bleeding, it's gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart) and bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O'Brian) who fall together, pursuing or avoiding their own dreams and then get wrapped up in a scenario that is way beyond what either expected and, of course, have to fight their way out. The one slight difference is the inclusion of some degree of phantasmagoria, which reminded Tricia of Natural Born Killers, which is another good reference to the type and style of film that this is, including the preponderance of gore and the willingness to show sex as the human thing that it is, rather than the Hollywood style that it's often glossed with. But having said all of that largely positive stuff, the obvious rejoinder is that the whole package isn't exactly original, either, other than the central couple of the story being two women, as opposed to the hetero pairings of the other two films.
That's not to say that it was a bad film, because it wasn't. It was pretty entertaining, all things considered, even if the screenplay trended toward shock value more than story depth. But it was the entertainingly familiar, rather than something that grabbed you by the brain and said: "This is new. Pay attention." It's set in the late 90s, as we hear radio announcements about the fall of the Berlin Wall, which seems like a rather arbitrary time period, at first, but later becomes more apparent when the question of readily available steroids becomes a part of the story. I wonder sometimes, as well, if films get set in the recent past to avoid the complication of cell phones and the instant communication that they now provide, which is a good way to blow holes in your story of tension and mystery that would otherwise be sapped by someone picking up their phone and using GPS. (This reminds me of one of my favorite perspectives on William Gibson's Neuromancer, the novel that invented the concept of cyberspace, and how he was able to imagine a world run entirely on an interactive cyber network 50 years from now, complete with self-aware AI, but people were still using pay phones...)
As with many films in this situation, the performances are what carry it. Both Stewart and O'Brian play characters that are human, in that they display poor judgment, rampant emotion, and a predilection for decisions made by passion, rather than reason. Similarly, Ed Harris is great as Lou's shady father, Lou Sr. But the characters themselves give the whiff of being stock-obvious. Jackie is a bodybuilder looking for fame from bog-standard Oklahoma, rather than somewhere more unusual, like a Jersey suburb. Lou Sr. has a fascination with beetles, which serves as nothing other than a detail before a shocking moment right near the end. It doesn't form any part of the character other than as a distraction. Contrast this with Ted Levine's Jame Gumb is Silence of the Lambs, who was fascinated by moths (specifically, Death's-head hawkmoths) because of their inherent transformation from larva to moth, as he was attempting in his transition from male to female. That attraction to bugs reflected the essential nature of the character, whereas in this film, it's just something for the audience to ogle at ("The bug guy?" "Yeah, the bug guy.") Similarly, Lou is the frustrated person who detests both of her parents and doesn't talk about them with anyone if she can help it, but the story eventually pries her story out of her. This is where the screenplay might have let down the talent of the actors involved and the film as as a whole.
The final scene, which involves the aforementioned phantasmagoria, is somewhere between amusing and eyebrow-arching. Yes, we weren't really sure whether our "heroines" would survive or not and that's always good in terms of a story, but when it arcs into the fantastical, we kind of lose the emotion behind their otherwise very real and expected circumstances that led them to this point. You could say that the end of the film is where we arc into romance novel territory, which is a complete departure from Jackie and Lou's relationship to that point (including the sex scenes) and which is commendable, IMO, as far as writing goes, just to throw the audience for a second and get them to sit up and pay attention. But the ending moments can also be seen as maudlin, even if hilarious, and that's when I circle back to questioning why this screenplay seems like so many that have come before it, rather than branching out into its own approach that would make this film stand alone as its own production. So, yeah, worth a watch, but not compelling.

When I read or listen to your name, I can see it inspires a mix of strenght, peace and hope. I recently watched Clint Eastwood film, "Invictus", and I couldn't help admiring you even more. Again, this sensation or inspiration of strenght, peace and hope grows inside everywhere your story has been told.
Your story, which is irrevogably and beautifully attached to Africa's history. Thank you, Mandela. Thank you for this attachement that brought hope to a place that looks so hopeless like Africa. Because of you, we know that this it's not true. Thank you, because now and then, you bring hope to the rest of the world.
Anyway, you bring hope for me. Here, in Brasil, so distant from South Africa, and yet so close. Thak you, Mandela.
Nevermind I never met you, I will never forget you.

Motion pictures are among the most prominent forms of home entertainment today. A flick, also referred to as a video, relocating image or brief movie, is an aesthetic job of visual art designed to imitate experiences which communicate stories, ideas, feelings, beauty, or the setting with the utilization of moving pictures. Movies are normally launched by the producer or distributor in cinema or other approved watching areas as well as are offered on DVD, VHS, and also other different layouts. The accessibility of flicks in digital format has increased their popularity.
Flicks are produced for a range of different factors, several of which include instruction, teaching, amusement, as well as education. Motion pictures inform stories that affect us while we are awake. While watching flicks, our brains send messages to our mind concerning what is happening in the motion picture. Due to this, films typically involve and also mesmerize our attention in a really unique method.
One major reason we enjoy flicks is for home entertainment.

Frequent reader of TNL.net will know that this is a move I have advocated for a long time (see here and here for examples). Part of the interesting issue here is how Mark Cuban is approaching the issue. In a recent Wired magazine interview, Cuban was recently saying:
“People get frightened about all kinds of things in Hollywood,” he says. “That’s not my system. I don’t have a business to protect. I have a business to build.”
This business has brought Cuban to fundamentally believe that bits are bits and is now putting serious money behind the idea. I would like to applaud the effort and hope that it will be successful. If it is, expect the rest of the movie industry to follow.
Combined with the recent calls by Blockbuster Video executives to release movies on DVD at the same time as they are released in theaters, it seems the idea has potentials for taking hold.
Since the first step has now been taken, I think they need to also ensure that DVDs of those movies are available in the movie theater (the ticket could get you a dollar off?) so that people could buy the DVD if they liked the movie they just saw.
The whole idea could revolutionize the way movies are distributed, in a fashion similar to the FairShare model I talked about in earlier entries. It will be fascinating to see how the titles fair. I know that, come hell or highwater, I will be attending the first weekend opening of the first movie to come out of this partnership, just to show the rest of hollywood that simultaneous release in the theater and DVDs can be done without hurting theater box office sales… and I hope others will join me in this.

Last night, after watching Good Morning, Vietnam for the very first time, I took to Facebook and wrote this post:
Just finished watching Good Morning Vietnam!
What a great movie. A classic movie. And, the very first time I’ve ever watched it. Yes, I know. I’m slow. (Unpopular opinion?) Not the best movie I’ve ever watched, not even the best Robin Williams movie (Dead Poets Society still holds that award for me), but a fantastic movie nonetheless. Moving, and definitely classic Robin Williams. And anything Robin Williams is gold.
I now want to expand on that post with several thoughts. I must stress, though, that this isn’t a movie review, as such. Just my thoughts on a movie that I enjoyed, seen through the lens of my thoughts and fuelled by discussion with my husband after watching.
If you haven’t watched this movie (who hasn’t though?) please be warned there may be spoilers from here on out. Continue reading “Good Morning, Vietnam – Not a movie review”

Fr. Jeremy’s Topic – January 2016
It’s that time of year when those of us interested in films look out for the Oscar nominations. A film that might not win an Oscar but raises important issues is Disney’s ‘Inside Out’. We recently used this film with our young people at All Saints. The film takes an imaginative journey into the mind of an 11 year girl called Riley. Five emotions are at work Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness.
The story shows Riley moving away from the town of her childhood to a large city and losing her friends, her interests and even her parents who are caught up in their own worries. Riley finds her memories of happiness being replaced by feelings of loneliness leaving her empty and unwanted.
The Office for National Statistics recently found Britain to be the loneliness capital of Europe. We are less likely to have strong friendships or know our neighbours than residents elsewhere. The outcome for all age groups, not just the elderly can be increased stress, depression, paranoia, anxiety and addiction.
Social media can help but we still need to go out and meet people.
Psychologists find that human beings have a fundamental need for close relationships. We function best when we find our social need met. Alternatively we feel emptiness and sadness much like Riley in the film which can impact upon us mentally and physically.
Last year we had young people from our church cooking a meal for an older group of people bringing all ages together as a sign of Christian community.
I’m not sure ‘Inside Out’ will win an Oscar but it’s reminded me to plan another dinner party and think of ways to build relationships within our communities.

The original Wall Street movie is one of the best-known movies to have brought the dilemmas and challenges of business ethics to mainstream Hollywood cinema. Released in 1987, it has become a classicâ€”mostly due to its powerful storyline, great writing and directing by Oliver Stone, and an Oscar-winning performance by Michael Douglas. It is considered by many to be the ultimate 1980s business portrait, reflecting the rise of liberalized financial markets and the stock-market boom during that decade. The core story is about a young stockbroker Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) who in his quest for the success and glamour of a rich Wall Street bankerâ€™s life falls under the spell of corporate raider Gordon Gekko (Douglas). The moral maze that Bud finds himself in focuses on a deal regarding the takeover of an airline company, which he can recommend to Gekko based on insider information gathered through his father. The latter, played by Sheenâ€™s own father Martin, is an airline mechanic and union memberâ€”and as such, highly suspicious of the dealings of his son. Ultimately, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gets wind of the deal and after being arrested, Bud ends up saving his own neck by providing evidence about Gekkoâ€™s role as the true villain in the game. Besides being a highly entertaining, funny, and intelligently scripted piece of cinematography, the film has become a classic for a number of reasons. Certainly, it is full of witty and thought-provoking dialogue. Michael Douglas delivers killer lines such as â€˜lunch is for wimpsâ€™, â€˜I create nothing. I ownâ€™ and â€˜richâ€™ is not â€˜$450,000 a year, but rich enough to have your own jetâ€™. Unforgettable too is his notorious â€˜greed is goodâ€™ speech in the film, which he makes to the shareholders of a company he wants to buy out. These scenes remind us of how closely the film is modelled on some of the real-world insider scandals on Wall Street at that time. One of those Wall Street icons, Ivan Boesky, later sentenced for insider trading, gave a nearly identical speech to a business school audience months before. Twenty-three years later, as part of the spate of post-financial crisis movies (see also Ethics on Screen 1 and 2), Stone released the sequel Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The movie returns our attention to Gordon Gekko (played again by Michael Douglas), who after eight years in jail for the crimes he committed in the first movie, is back in the game, which now is the world of hedge funds and private equity. Set in the late 2000s, this time his younger, to-be-corrupted counterpart is his future son-in-law, Jacob Moore (played by Shia LaBeouf).
Gekko begins the movie as an apparently changed man, promoting his book Is Greed Good and warning of imminent financial collapse on the talk-show circuit. However, it soon becomes evident that he is just as sly an operator as ever, playing fast and loose with rules of corporate governance to suit his own ends, which in this case also involves reconciling with his estranged daughter. The plot involves many twists and turns as Gekko finds a way to engineer millions of dollars into his hedge fund while helping Moore to avenge the collapse of his former mentorâ€™s investment bank during the financial crisis. While the critical acclaim of the sequel clearly falls short of the iconic status of the original Wall Street movie, both movies are worth viewing, not least for the different perspectives they provide on governance scandals. The first movie centres on insider trading, its very personal costs, and the emerging culture of greed in Wall Street. The sequel, in contrast, focuses less on specific acts of wrongdoing and more on the institutional problems of governance in the financial sector. Companies are wrecked and fortunes are lost at the whim of the market and the swirling of rumours rather than hard facts, while global capital flows make effective oversight next to impossible. So, taken together the two movies provide a real-life example of why cultural change on Wall Street is so difficult to achieve and how a liberalized economic system predicated on ruthless maximization of self-interest easily incentivizes actions of questionable moral status.
