A. When it comes to the essential story line, the movie is all about a bird traveling several thousand miles for the purpose of setting up a rare bird family.
B. Cracks explores the evil force developed within a closed society, the single-minded violence of the mob mentality, and the seductive charm of the heroine.
C. Eleven years after Sidney Prescott tangled with a mad killer, the Scream series has been exhumed. It was fun and breezy in 1996. In 2011, it’s about as fresh as the whiff.
D. Soul surfer portrays the comeback spirit and faith of shark attack survivor and champion surfer Bethany Hamilton.
E. Although it is a better fantasy than a comedy, this movie never fully embraces either side of the dramatic types and ends up a bastard of mixed blood.
F. This movie is a richer and more compelling thriller involving a cat-and-mouse game than the average roller coaster ride into tension and misery. And it also has a “clean” ending.
46. Having spent most of her life in the wilds of Finland and toughened herself with half her teen years’ harsh training as a killer, she decides that she is ready to enter society. Her first mission is to kill Marissa, her mother’s killer. The plan goes much as expected, except the “Marissa” is an imposter. Hanna becomes the prey in a cat-and-mouse game with the real Marissa, causing tension and misery.
47. Blu is a domesticated blue macaw from the jungles of South America. If Linda, his owner, brings him to Rio, the bird can mate the last female blue macaw and re-start the species. Blu’s encounter with his bride-to-be, Jewel, doesn’t go well, but the two aren’t given much time to get to know each other before a gang of bird-hunters spirits them away. Now it’s up to Blu and Jewel to escape the criminals.
48. Perhaps surprisingly, it works reasonably well until the jokes get in the way, testifying to how durable fantasy clichés are. Yet, considering the talent involved on both sides of the camera, audiences may be expecting more. Even though it emerges from an uncrowded genre in which the competition is sparse, Your Highness is forgettable and it likely won’t take long before it is forgotten.
49. The film begins with the heroine at age 13, already a champion surfer who has been winning trophies since she was 9. On an idyllic Hawaii day, she is practicing for her next competition when a shark strikes, biting off her left arm. She makes a quick physical recovery and is back on her surfboard after several weeks, but her spiritual recovery is more complicated as she struggle to believe she can—and should—keep surfing. She goes out there and shows the world she can be a beacon for human soul.
50. The Ghost Face Killer has chosen this year to emerge from the winter long sleep, and his targets appear to be Sidney and those few remaining family members. Scream 4 offers little more than a group of familiar characters wandering around a horror movie setting and uttering self-referential one-liners as the body count mounts. The story is thin and belabored ─ more an excuse to encounter old friends and revel in new gore than the “revision” promised by the promotional material.

Check out my blog for all the movies I've watched so far.
There’s a great Halloween movie!
Okay so I still haven’t seen this one because when it first came out, I had to work, but when my buddy came back from the theatre and immediately went under the bed and wouldn’t come out for a day and a half…I was like nah, that movie breaks minds so I’m out.

Thanks to the Corona virus, the people of San Francisco have been sheltered in. One of the things that I’ve enjoyed doing is watching the Condor Trilogy 射鵰三部曲 series. I got the idea of doing this because of nostalgia. I always enjoyed wuxia as a kid. I don’t know which I watched first – Bruce Lee or Chinese kung fu movies. For that reason, I didn’t even think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was that awesome when it first came out – thought it was just like another Chinese kung fu movie. Hero though, the film with Jet Li and Donnie Yen, was really awesome! I watched the The Return of the Condor Heroes 神鵰俠侶when I was a kid. My late aunt graciously recorded it for me and I watched while being babysat at my great-grandmother’s house. Only upon watching it for the 3rd time, this time in order without missing any episodes and with subtitles, did I really know how much of the story I missed and how poor my Cantonese is.
When I was a kid, I only cared to see the kungfu action. At least that’s what I thought I cared for. Having watched it very recently, I still enjoyed the kung fu action, but also really enjoyed the story. I also enjoyed seeing the lots of beautiful women cast in the series. It’s almost like watching the UFC actually. Which guy doesn’t like watching violence mixed with beautiful women? With the UFC or boxing, you have ring card girls. I know the movies aren’t real fighting. It’s more of a dance than a fight scene. If I want to watch real fighting, I’ll watch the UFC. That said, this is a series that has a remake every decade. Jin Yong wrote some masterpieces. There’s no other reason they would do a remake every 5-10 years.
So I spent about 30 hours watching the 1983 version of 神鵰俠侶 with Andy Lau and Idy Chan. I enjoyed the series a lot. Andy Lau plays brilliantly and Idy Chan is a goddess. Among them were many other talented and beautiful stars as well. I knew I had to watch it from from the beginning to the end to really understand the film. The moment I started watching the series, I started to notice that I needed to keep track of the characters so that I wouldn’t get lost in remember who was who. I ended up using wikipedia as Cliffs notes. I wish I had known about the fandom link at the time. I would’ve used it as well. I’m not the best at remembering Chinese names. I did my best, but also sadly couldn’t resist reading and finding out what happened prior to seeing it actually happen. It was still entertaining and exciting to see how the directors set up the scenes and how they were executed.
There’s a video below that talks about how they shouldn’t make these series because the ratings seem to be getting lower and lower. I might agree perhaps for the older series e.g. the 1990s and 2008, but would wholeheartedly disagree for the 2017/2019 versions. Also, the guy makes his argument based off of ratings. Well, ratings are based on the time and what was available at the time. If you watch the 1983 神鵰俠侶, you’ll see that the Jinlun Guoshi is wearing a wig that doesn’t match his skin color. You would also see that in a lot of scenes, the backdrops are terrible – totally obvious that it’s done on a set.
Think about it. Why would anyone in their right mind create a remake of a series, spend a shitload of money, and make a series that’s worse than the original? Nobody would. Nobody would invest. Nobody would play the parts. Unless they’re just milking the cow – if they already own something and just want to get as much money out of it as possible before it dies. I don’t think that’s the case with these series. You should expect that every series is better than the next. There are many reasons for that. If a series was successful, people usually would like to replicate that success somehow. With better technology and a bigger budget, they can often produce a better product as well. For example, back in 1984, the best they could do to simulate 小龍女 XiaoLongNu’s bees was to make little lights flash on screen. Technology has gone a long way since then.
At the end of the series, I had a decision to make. Did I want to see the prequel and sequels? Well, it was a resounding yes. Jin Yong can really tell a story! I had no doubt that I wanted to see the other 2 parts of the series. That said, there are about 3-4 different versions I could choose from. My first thought was to try the Amazon prime version. I watched 1 episode of the Legend of the Condor Heroes there and decided immediately that it wasn’t for me. My issue was that the English subtitles get superimposed over the Chinese subtitles and made it hard to read. Another issue was that I think they went overboard with the special effects and computer generated imagery. I guess you’ll never know how far you can go until you have crossed the line. I feel that the 2008 version did just that. I then watched 1 episode of the 2017 version and felt good with it. I’m glad I did.
After watching the The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I proceeded with watching Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber. I figured I would go with the 2019 version since it was the latest and it didn’t disappoint. This is available on Amazon Prime video as well, but unfortunately only in Cantonese. Since the movie was filmed in Mandarin and I always prefer to see lips in sync, I opted to watch in Mandarin.
Bambi Zhu Xudan 祝绪丹 is gorgeous, isn’t she? She plays Zhou Zhiruo, a beautiful, sweet, and innocent woman. Does she look like she could kill anyone!? Well, she played a very convincing role when switching over and also deserved the 2 awards she won for her performance.
I do have one complaint about the casting. There’s no shortage of talent in Hong Kong or China. Why do they reuse the same actors for different parts? The only reasons I can think of are budget or directors wanting to work with the same people. Here are some examples of some that look the same. There are more, but since the series are over a decade apart, the actors no longer look the same and they played the parts well. Kathy Chow Hoi-mei 周海媚 played Zhou Zhiruo in the 1994 Legend of the Condor Heroes series and played an awesome evil Abbess Miejue in the 2019 Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber. Michael Miu played Yang Kang in the 1983 series and Huang Yaoshi in the 2017 Legend of the Condor Heroes series.
Normally, when watching any drama series, after the whole thing, I feel like I’d wasted my time. After all, it is many hours of my life. After Breaking Bad, arguably one of the most successful series of all time, I felt like I had wasted many hours of my life and wish I hadn’t seen it. I felt the same after watching the IP Man tv series. The Donnie Yen movies were great. The series, not so much. I also watched many episodes of Boardwalk Empire – perhaps 1-2 seasons. At some point, I feel like it’s never going to end and I quit. This is one of the few series that I cannot seem to get enough of. Eventually, I may read the books, but now, I’m content with watching what I can on tv or YouTube and reading on wikipedia and fandom. The reason I feel that I could be critical about the different versions is because I actually went through the different ones that I’ve talked about and found my favorite scenes and watched them in the various versions. You can find almost all of them on Youtube.
If you do watch this series however, don’t watch it in the order that I watched it in, unless you want to know what happens later. It is a little fun to know how the characters already progressed, but I think it’s better to watch them in order. 🙂 Start with The Legend of the Condor Heroes 射鵰英雄傳, move on to The Return of the Condor Heroes 神鵰俠侶 and finish with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber 倚天屠龍記.
I can’t wait to see the New Return of the Condor Heroes starring 佟梦实 Thomas Tong and 毛晓慧 Mao Xiaohui.

The 90s kid inside of me let out a HUGE scream when I saw this. I recently came across the movie poster above for a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Movie reboot. Fortunately I spent a very large part of my childhood watching Power Rangers, but unfortunately this is not coming out until 2016. When the first full length movie first came out, I had the VHS (young kids will not know what this is) and watched it almost everyday. The movie is on Netflix so sporadically I feel nostalgic and turn the movie on.
Here is where the upsetting part comes in. After an extensive google search, I can not find anymore legitimate information on the movie. Even with it’s distant release date there should still be some information on the movie, but there is nothing.
Tell us what you think. Would you watch a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie reboot? Let us know below!

CBA Star Marbury Makes Film Debut CBA
CBA star Stephon Marbury is to star in a movie about his life in China.
The 38-year-old American is a former New York Knicks player. 38岁的美国人马布里是前纽约尼克斯队球员。
He has become a major figure in Beijing by leading the city's basketball team to three championships.
Marbury will make his cinematic debut as the lead character in "My Other Home," a Chinese film that will tell his life story.
The film follows a string of honors Marbury has received in Beijing, all of which are rare for a foreign athlete in China.
They include a statue near a major sports venue in the city, a museum named "Marbury's Home", a postage stamp issued in his honor and most recently, a Chinese green card.
Marbury has said, through his social media Weibo account, that the movie is about love, pain, passion, faith, glory, redemption and a culture that changed a man inside of him.
Retired NBA star Allen Iverson and Baron Davis will also appear in the film, playing at a game with Marbury.
退役的NBA明星阿伦·艾弗森（Allen Iverson）和拜伦·戴维斯（Baron Davis）也会出现在影片中，与马布里一起打比赛。
The production house has also invited non-athlete guest stars from other countries and parts of China including South Korean A-list celebrity Jessica Jung, who will play Marbury's agent.
The film, which has a 10-15million dollar production budget, is expected to be released in China during the CBA game season toward the end of this year.


Due to my new job and long commute, it has been very difficult to post about my “green” adventures.
However, I am staying up past my bedtime to post a review of this movie. I am absolutely appalled at the distaste of a movie that is supposed to represent the poor quality of food in America. Instead it follows plot lines of drug use, human trafficking, sex and the like. I finally had to turn it off because I felt so uncomfortable watching it. After turning if off, I read the description on the Netflix envelope.
It actually said that this movie follows the beef from the corral to the slaughterhouse to your stomach. Yeah right!!!!! If you want something with real information without all this Hollywood intervention, watch Food Inc, Future of Food, 11th Hour… do not waste your time watching this movie.
Ironically I know of a person that became a vegetarian after watching this move when it came out a few years ago. After watching it, I don’t even know why they would. There was not a shred of actual information. Instead amongst all the drugs and inappropriate situations, they just focus on the meat having fecal matter in it. OK, well how about some more information. Instead they fill it with scenes that are going to bug me because I personally don’t want to fill my mind with smut.
And that is what this movie is… SMUT!


Wednesday, April 1, 2015
Like many kids in their early teen and preteen years (at least back in the day) I spent my Saturday afternoon's watching old horror movies. In the Philadelphia area, we had Dr. Shock's Afternoon Horror Theater which featured Universal and Hammer Films and the sorts of movies MST3K would later make fun of. I was watching for something else though. It was a secret that I never told anyone.
My friends and I were big old time horror fans, and we were also making haunted houses in my dad's basement all the time. One day, we were at the book store in the mall, and I found a book on classic Hammer films (this had to be like 1976 or so) and paged through it and I saw something that both captured my imagination and awakened a deep yearning in my soul...it was a short article on the Hammer Film Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde.
After that day, I never missed a Saturday horror movie. I waited with hopeful expectation to see a cinematic telling of my deepest desire. I waited at least two years before I caught it.
I recently saw the film and memories of my secret surfaced (hey, here's a link to my review of it in my last blog entry)
I don't know why I felt like I needed to share that. But there it is.


Andrei Tarkovsky, Stalker
This is a very different Science-Fiction movie, made by the Russian film maker, Andrei Tarkovsky in 1979. The movie works on so many levels, and must be seen more than once. Tarkovsky has a great filmography, including “Solaris” (1972).
The story in “Stalker” takes place in the Zone - a restricted, hazardous area rumored to contain paranormal power from the crash of a mysterious meteorite. Three men goes on a journey to a room that holds the power to grant one wish to anyone who enters. What we love about this movie is not only the story, but the visuals and the texture in the imagery. It is wet, cold, dusty, glossy, oily, transparent, warm, old, organic, static, silent and protective. All very inspirational for our next collection.


Alumnus Jeff Rosick's Name Bright in 'Friday Night Lights'
Gonzaga News Service
SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga alumnus Jeff Rosick has landed a seven-episode, co-starring role in the NBC TV series "Friday Night Lights," a big break for the actor who crossed the stage to receive his bachelor's degree in theatre arts only two years ago this month.
Rosick plays Buddy Jr., a 16-to-18-year-old who returns to Dillon, Texas to live with his father but is not happy about it. The show is all about life in a small, fictional Texas town where most everything revolves around football.
Brian Russo, associate professor of theatre at Gonzaga, is pleased yet unsurprised Rosick's career is taking off like a rocket.
"Jeff always had an incredible work ethic along with a deep talent," Russo said. "He incessantly wanted to improve by eagerly incorporating feedback. He was a powerful but flawed John Proctor in 'The Crucible,' and an achingly lonely Warren Straub in 'This is Our Youth.' "
Rosick credits Russo for helping him shape a foundation for success.
"Sure, I'm out of college, but my experiences working with him and getting to know him stick with me every day and have helped me arrive at this fantastic moment," Rosick noted.
Russo remembers the special qualities that set Rosick apart at Gonzaga and which he believes will serve him well throughout his burgeoning career.
"Best of all, Jeff is kind, modest, and without actor pretension," Russo said. "I think this amazing opportunity is going to be only the first in an outstanding career."


Music and Sound Effects in Horror Films
by John Hübinette
Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of films in general (and horror films in particular), is the soundscape. It is quite easy to forget that the fear factor of almost any horror film would decrease dramatically (if not completely vanish) if the auditory features were removed or altered to something not befitting a horror film. This might sound a huge exaggeration, but it is most definitely not. All you have to do is turn down the volume on your TV during a dramatic scene in a horror film to realize the enormously important role that well-composed music and striking sound effects play in creating a complete and truly frightening horror film experience.
I have a great interest in sound and music. Composing has been one of my hobbies for several years now and I have recorded sound effects and composed music for non-commercial computer games. In this essay I will focus on describing the structure, purpose and style of horror film music and sound effects.

|“||One day later, I, Anderous, spreaded terror to the world. Until I miss my throne. So every thousands days, I'm able to fight again. However, I soon find out that 1 kid that ruined my fight: Gumball Watterson. (Theme song plays) NO, you sicko! Dramatic music! That's better. I get revenge on his family for ruining my new era in which demons come together in the great and glorious future.||„|
|~ Anderous, after his return to Elmore.|
Anderous is the main antagonist of the Cartoon Network's 2019 film, The Amazing World of Gumball: Movie, and the minor antagonist of its 2020 sequel, The Amazing World of Gumball 2: The Ending.
He was voiced by Ron Perlman, who also played the Lich, Slade, Stabbington Brothers, Nino and Dieter Reinhardt.
He is the ruthless demon lord, which appeared out of nowhere and destroyed the village, and killing all the people. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere, a hero appeared out of nowhere, defeating the demon lord and restoring peace to the land. The hero then named the land after his name, "Elmore". However, the demon left a message saying he will return again in a thousand years, so their descendants better be ready. Everyone but, the hero, believed that it wasn't true, but the hero knew that he would return, so told his to his future son to warn the other future son's and so on that Anderous, the demon lord, would return, so the descendant would be ready.
The Amazing World of Gumball: Movie
1,000 years later, Anderous returns to the surface, in order to attack the Watterson family. He sends his demons to chase after them, searched the entire city, but they were nowhere to be found. He had figured that they had escaped, so by going to their house, he gathered up information there to find out were they might be found. But he could not do it alone, so he ressurected Jealousy and the past villains. He told them to head for Alaska, because that is where Gumball, Darwin and their family were heading. After they left, Anderous feared that Gumball and Darwin was already heading for Alaska after their last day of the school, so he and his fightes started to abusing and scaring all the students of Elmore (expecting Penny). And especially, he started to search for Penny's family for an unknown reason.
After the alavanche in Alaska, the demons then captures Gumball, Darwin and Anais and take them into the train and traveled into the desert. Anderous tricks the police into arresting Nicole and Richard.
Later, when Gumball had his "army" ready, he hollered out Anderous' name. Anderous couldn't believe what he saw. He had saw that Gumball was still alive. Ignoring him, he prepared his army to attack. Then they both meet on the battlefield, with there two armies ready, both of them ordered to attack. Then when both Gumball and Anderous eye's meet each other, the Battle of Elmore began. People, fighting people, it was just like the war 1,000 years ago. Gumball was heading for Anderous, so he could finish this once and for all. Gumball, Anais and Darwin went with him. Along the way, Rob appeared out of nowhere, telling them they had nowhere to go. Anais said that she would take care of this, so Gumball, Darwin and Anais headed on, until they encountered another enemies, Dark Gumball, Evil Darwin, Jealousy, Miss Simian and Rob. Elsa and Darwin said that they would take care of him, so Gumball went on until he encounter something else. Gumball had no choice, he had to fight him. But all of a sudden, the battle was interupted. Martha stood before Gumball and told him to go on, in which he did. Anderous tried to stop him, but Granny Jojo and Frankie stopped him, and told him that he had to fight her if he wanted to go on.
As Gumball and Darwin arrives in the Forest of Doom, Anderous sends Dark Gumball to throws them into the Void with the Universal Remote. Gumball prevent Anderous from winning the fight with his family, but Anderous' goons easily overpower them and the fight begins as Anderous grows into a big monster. Then, Nicole had finally delivered the final blow, defeating Anderous once and for all, but he regains consciouness and proclaims that he would return again in 1,000 years to claim Elmore as his own. But Gumball and Darwin, did something that the hero didn't do, used the power of the sword to seal Anderous' life into the Sword of Elmore, which later struck it to the ground, sealing the demon forever, and thus destroying the Universal Remote.
The Amazing World of Gumball 2
At the end of the film, Anderous (still inside the sword) is sucked into a hole that opens up and sucks him in and starts destroying Elmore, sending Anderous falling to his death into the Void, signifying the end of Gumball and ending the show on a very horribly bleak note.
Anderous is a ruthless, selfish, cunning, temperamental, vengeful, manipulative and egotistical demonic lord, as he's willing to led Elmore descent into post-apocalypse state by destroys all the rainbow parts through his magic powers, have no qualms of the citizens' fate, and it took a super-powered version of main casts, minus Darwin, to finally defeat him.
|“||This is the event the universe has prophecied! Armageddon is finally here, and it's here to stay! (cackling evily)||„|
|~ Anderous unleashing Armageddon (aka The Apocalypse) over Elmore.|
|“||Look at you two. Pathetic, weak, and undetermined. This is the exact reason why I kill anyone that fails me. You were almost on that list.||„|
|~ Anderous threating Nicole Watterson and Richard Watterson.|
|“||Ground Devils, assemble!||„|
|~ Anderous' famous quote.|
|“||Fine. I'll do it myself.||„|
|~ Anderous, preparing to destroy Elmore for himself after Dark Gumball and Evil Darwin's plans were foiled.|
|“||You fools! I am a god!||„|
|“||NO! NO ONE HAVE A THRONE WITHOUT ME! (cackling evily)||„|
|~ Anderous, during the fight against Gumball and Darwin, before being sucked inside the Sword of Elmore.|
|“||OH NO! It's started!||„|
|~ Anderous, discovered that the threat has begun and is now destroying Elmore shortly before falling into The Void, also his last words.|
- He is also the second character in the series to be played by a guest star.
- Even though Anderous was the main antagonist of the film, Dark Gumball served as The Heavy because it was his quest to destroy Elmore that drove the plot.
- Additionally, Anderous is arguably more evil than Rob, even outside of the film as he was not very evil in the film. This is because Anderous destroys the Rainbow Factory, blames Gumball's family for that, turned Elmore into a post-apocalyptic town and was happy to destroy it, tried to destroy Captain Elmore's legacy and is downright mad with power, even more so than Rob who, while he is an attempted murderer and does want revenge, would (probably) not go to the point of destroying an entire city (this is proven right in the episode "The Inquistion", where Rob tries to save the cast from the show's end and The Void by transforming them into humans so they can escape from the show's reality, mirroring it).
- On top of that, Anderous is arguably more evil than other major series' villains such as Jealousy and Zach Watterson, arguably making him the most evil villain in the series.
- As The Amazing World of Gumball: Movie was originally stated to be the series finale of the show, Anderous was never seen again.
- He serves as the final antagonist of the series.
- Anderous's true colors may be hinted at before the release of the film, while the deleted scene shows Anderous trying to kill the Watterson family by throwing them into the Void with Rob trying to save them.
- Anderous bares a strong resemblance to Sugilite from Steven Universe.


The Phil is proud to continuing working with Mervyn Peters as Choir Director for our current and upcoming 2020 season.
While Mervyn’s ties to The Phil runs deep, he returned to conduct the Choir in Songs for the Season 2018 which ran from 1-2 December 2018 at the DPAC. Songs For The Season marked Mervyn's return to The Phil as Guest Conductor after twenty-eight years.
Mervyn’s interest in music goes back to his teenage days in a band in Alor Setar. Moving to Petaling Jaya, he joined the St. Francis Xavier’s church choir in 1970 and eventually became Choirmaster the next few years.
In theatre, he started as a chorus member in Die Fledermaus (1975) and The Barrets of Wimpole Street (1976), both directed by the late Bosco D’Cruz , followed by his first musical as Musical Director for Camelot (1977), all the above with the Malayan Drama Council.
His involvement with The Philharmonic Society of Selangor (1976 – 1990) began with principal roles in Cinderella, The Boyfriend, Hello, Dolly!, Play It Again, Sam, and subsequently as Musical Director/Producer/Actor for Hammerstein’s Broadway, Serenade, Amahl and the Night Visitors (1979 and 1989), Trial by Jury, Oklahoma!, A Child Is Born, An Inspector Calls, Rhapsody in Rhythm, Once Upon A Showtime, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hello Jerry, Guys & Dolls, The Mikado, and Stand and Deliver (1990).
During the above period, he attended an Orchestral Conductors’ workshop in Nice, France, sponsored by the French Embassy in 1981 whilst also being Resident Conductor with the Kuala Lumpur Symphony Orchestra (1986 –1991) – an orchestra performing suitably arranged classical music for young musicians. After returning from a Director’s course with the British Theatre Association in London in 1986, he began to focus on the technical aspects of theatre, which led him to be engaged by other theatre companies and corporations like The STAR, Sime Darby and major hotels mainly as a Lighting Designer, Technical Director and Stage Manager.
His first production for The Actors Studio (TAS) was as Lighting Assistant in A Man For All Seasons (1991). Thereafter, he was Lighting Designer for their production of Antigone, As Is, A Streetcar Named Desire, Philadelphia, Here I Come!, The Trees, and Savages. In 1997, he joined TAS as their General Manager/Technical Director for two years before joining the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra as Orchestra Manager in June 1999 - for the next twelve years.
He returned to music as Chorusmaster in TAS musical Broken Bridges (2006), then as Musical Director for Tunku – The Musical (2007), and Ismail – The Last Days (2008), which won him the Boh Cameronian Arts Award for Best Musical Direction.
He will never forget his mentor, the late Signe Syme (a co-founder of The Phil) nor will he forget that his years with The Phil helped him hone his skills.

Awkwafina in The Farewell: Riding The Wave of Life and Loss
A few days ago, I kicked off my little quarantine movie club. I wanted to do it just for fun and selfishly, to motivate me to write more content about film. I wrote a list of films I considered “drifty”, or relating to travel or another culture. I immediately wrote down favorites like The Ramen Girl, Midsommar, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. As an afterthought, I added The Farewell. I hadn’t seen it and I’ve been meaning to. I decided that would be the first film.
I vowed that Thursdays would be viewing days, but this week, I didn’t make enough time for it. I waited until Friday to watch it. Unfortunately, Friday was also the day that Molly, our family dog, died of cancer. Cut to me curled up in my bed, sobbing through the film and wiping my tears away with the sleeves of my sweater.
In the film, Nai Nai (Shuzhen Zhao), the matriarch of a Chinese family, senses that she’s sick and goes to the doctor. The visit reveals that she has Stage Four lung cancer and has months to live. The catch? She never sees the real test results. Her family decides not to tell her that she’s dying. Her granddaughter, played by the ever so delightful Awkwafina, is plagued by the lie.
The idea of deceit, even for the sake of culture and family, made me uneasy. Since I watched the movie immediately after my own loss, I could see the real takeaway of the film. It wasn’t about lying. It was about the inevitability of loss.
Everyone you meet, you will eventually say goodbye to.
Of course, you won’t always know when that is. My entire family knew that Molly was dying, but since she’s a dog, of course, Molly didn’t. There was no way to tell her that. Instead of focusing on grief, my parents spent the last few months caring for her. They alternated the use of a cone to keep her from scratching at her tumor. They cleaned up the mess when she did. They brought her on weekend trips to the family cabin, where she loved to ride on my dad’s pontoon boat. Molly didn’t know she was dying, but she knew that my family loved her.
That’s why The Farewell is such a wonderful portrayal of life. Over the course of the film, we see how each member of the family pays tribute to Nai Nai in their own way. The grief is palpable, thanks to the performances of the cast (notably, an intense scene with Han Chen, who plays Hao Hao.) Additionally, we see how the looming shadow of loss grows and shapes the characters.
At first, Billie (Awkwafina) insists that what they’re doing is cruel. She considers telling Nai Nai, who she’s very close to, what’s actually going on. We see her struggle mostly through emotional outbursts, going head-to-head with her father, mother, and uncle who all remind her that despite what she wants, this isn’t about her feelings. Not telling Nai Nai is the choice the family has made.
“In the East,” her Uncle Haibin says, “A person’s life is a part of a whole.”
She’s chastised for her emotions which, while understandable, pose a threat to the family secret. Eventually, it seems that Billie comes to understand that, too. She comes out on the other side as a little wiser, albeit, a little emotionally roughed up.
I thought the plot and dialogue were strong, but by far, my favorite aspect of The Farewell was the cinematography. Cool tones and tight shots bring you into each character’s sadness. During moments of laughter and bliss, bright, warm tones are used to show the family’s adoration for Nai Nai. The back and forth between the saturation of the scenes is a tug-of-war of emotion, with sweeping spells of grief and overwhelming, joyful moments.
My brother was the one to tell me Molly had died. It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that Ricky, who is nearly ten years my junior, was collecting Pokemon cards. Now, he was on the other side of the phone, calmly telling me that Molly was gone, that Mom was okay but sad, and that he was sorry.
“I wanted to tell you first because I knew you loved her so much,” he said.
It was the first time Ricky had ever given me bad news and at the same time, the first time I recognized that he wasn’t my teenage little brother anymore.
“Okay,” I said. “Thanks for calling me. Goodbye.”
After the call, I went on a long walk next to a creek near my house. The late afternoon sun left everything looking over-saturated, over-dramatized. The sun bounced off the water, the wind tickled my neck, and for a moment, I felt everything.

We're so used to these characters we need them in our lives supposedly, but after this movie, my love for this show is drastically decreased.
The plot is all four women are struggling with their marriages. Season 6, Episode 2June 29, 2003Carrie has a beef about sex with Berger (Ron Livingston); Samantha demands extra attention from a waiter; Charlotte's conversion gets off to a rocky start; Miranda looks forward to an evening with her new boyfriend. Season 6, Episode 1June 22, 2003Carrie and Jack go on their first date; Miranda faces up to her feelings for Steve; Charlotte dreams of marriage with Harry (Evan Handler); Samantha rolls out the red carpet for a new neighbor. The first film had the almost the same run time, though it was entertaining and it was fun to see the characters do what they did in the second film like struggle with wedding plans and try on dresses.This is jam packed with racist, stereotypical jokes about homosexuals, Jewish people, and Middle Eastern people as well.

Every so often theatre patrons deserve to be indulged with an all-out pageantry of musical splendor that leaves nothing behind, bedazzling its audience members with comedic charm and heart, colorfully robust staging, and performers who exude pure charisma. The national touring production of “Hello, Dolly!” — which is currently playing at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre through February 17th – is the quintessence of that and more. Over the years, in fact, “Hello, Dolly!” has established quite the track record for itself, winning ten Tony Awards during its “heyday” in 1964, and another four, including Best Broadway Revival, just two years ago.
Inspired by Thornton Wilder’s “The Matchmaker” in 1955 (which itself was based on John Oxenford’s 1835 play, “A Day Well Spent”), playwright Michael Stewart sets “Hello, Dolly!” in late-1800’s New York, centering it around its distinguished protagonist, Dolly Gallagher Levi (Betty Buckley). She is an elegant renaissance woman of innumerable skills and an arranger of love who is tasked with setting up the cantankerous “half-a-millionaire” widower, Horace Vandergelder (Lewis J. Stadlen), owner of Vandergelder’s Hay & Feed in Yonkers. Caught in the crossfire of cupid’s arrows and Levi’s amore-motivated cunning — which she, for once, decides to apply for her own benefit — are essential characters associated with Vandergelder, either in the familial sense, work-wise, or with romantic implications.
Jerry Herman’s music and lyrics are as irresistibly endearing as they were when they first entered public consciousness. The songs are a throwback to the golden-age-musical epoch that sought to first and foremost entertain and then ask piercing questions later. There is both a bubbliness and yet, paradoxically, a maturity to Herman’s lasting work that effortlessly breathes unrelenting energy into the performers of this “Hello, Dolly!” national tour.
Unquestionably, director Jerry Zaks, music director Robert Billig and choreographer Warren Carlyle have done their due diligence to channel a bygone time as seamlessly as they have. And, being that this is a production that is as much a visual treat as it is an auditory one, scenic/costume designer Santo Loquasto and lighting designer Natasha Katz also deserve ample recognition for the lavish and well-lit palette that so beautifully shores up and frames the narrative. From a lifelike horse that is puppeteered, to a train car that magically appears, to the jaw-dropping bouquet of period costumes and ornate hats — particularly during “Put on Your Sunday Clothes” — attendees will find themselves joyously smiling from ear to ear.
As the lead, Betty Buckley has taken the baton from Bette Midler and re-affirmed her legendary status as one who has a seemingly uncanny ability to completely transform herself into the character she is portraying. More than just an excellent singer whose vibrato-gilded voice conveys a delightful warmth, she is an elite actor who is committed to capturing a believability that resonates genuinely and without any contrivances. Her rendition of Dolly Levi is invigorating, fun, and draws in the audience who can’t help but be entranced by the character portrait that she has lovingly cultivated on stage.
At certain moments in the show, we passionately root for Buckley’s Dolly to pursue love again, especially when she poignantly beseeches the spirit of her late husband Ephraim to let her go “Before the Parade Passes By,” and during others, we’re in complete stitches watching her put on a masterclass of comedy. Overall, there is an awestriking presence about Buckley that happens to resonate most when she makes her grand entrance down the staircase of the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant. She glows ever so sublimely, to begin the rousingly classic title number, supported by a male ensemble waitstaff who impressively juggle and synchronously deliver platters of food, shish-kebab skewers, and wine with obsequiously beguiling flair (“The Waiters’ Gallop”).
Veteran performer Lewis J. Stadlen makes a perfect Vandergelder and flawless counterpart to Buckley’s Dolly. As cynical, stubborn, and demanding as his persona is, Stadlen still makes him come across so likably which is not an easy feat. We certainly can’t fault Vandergelder for wanting love or using Levi’s services to discover a suitable match. Along with Levi’s desire to solve her own loneliness, Vandergelder drives the plot, making for hilariously awkward scenes, snappy dialogue, and memorable slapstick situations. Stadlen commits to his role with such passion (e.g., “Penny in My Pocket”) and picture-perfect comic timing (e.g., inside Irene Malloy’s hat shop) that we don’t mind that Vandergelder is so full of himself; we ironically appreciate him more for it.
Nic Rouleau and Jess LeProtto play Cornelius Hackl and Barnaby Tucker, respectively, who are employees of Vandergelder’s Hay & Feed store. Cornelius is a cloistered 33-year-old chief clerk who has practically never had a day off and dreams of excitement, and Barnaby is a 17-year-old hire and young man of few words who is easily surprised (“Holy Cabooses!”). Nevertheless, despite their minimal finances, they skip work and take on New York City to adventure and meet their soulmates. Rouleau and LeProtto share infectiously hysterical chemistry as two fish out of water rapscallions, reminiscent of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Needless to say, as oblivious as Cornelius and Barnaby are, the portrayals are sincere. Rouleau imparts this innocence with his soaringly tender voice in “It Only Takes a Moment,” and LeProtto does so with his body language and exceptionally graceful dancing.
Analisa Leaming is Irene Molloy, a frazzled milliner and young widow who is originally set up with Vandergelder. Driven by an empowered impetuousness, Molloy yearns to escape her staid life and live with unrestrained and liberated abandon. Leaming actualizes Molloy with a sweet liveliness, which unfolds with a refreshing unpredictability, and puts her straitlaced subordinate, Kristen Hahn’s Minnie Fay, on edge. In an ode to Stanislavski’s stage aphorism, “there are no small parts, only small actors,” Hahn nearly steals the show with her idiosyncratic and uproariously shy (and startled) depiction.
Rounding out the incredible cast are Morgan Kirner as Ermengarde, Vandergelder’s spoiled niece and a perpetual crier; Garett Hawe as the starving artist, Ambrose Kemper, who wants to marry Ermengarde (watch out for Kirner and Hawe’s searing partner dance in “The Contest”); the sprightly and funny Jessica Sheridan as Ernestina; and Wally Dunn as Rudolph, the very-much-in-charge German headwaiter (and conductor) of the Harmonia Gardens Restaurant. These individuals are joined by many more who are spectacularly disarming and energetic as the Yonkers townsfolk and restaurant waiters.
Billed as “Broadway’s Greatest Musical,” “Hello, Dolly!” more than lives up to expectations, delivering a deliriously feel-good production that radiates amid beautiful sets, staging, and costumes. Led by the sheer appeal and enchantment offered by Buckley, Stadlen, and their castmates, audiences are apt to fall in love with this show all over again. For musical theatre aficionados, it’s clearly a match made in heaven.


One Punch Man
So much hype… but it didn’t live up to it. Sigh. For shame. I was really excited for one punch man because it was recommended to me and also cause of all the amazing gifs and stuff that’s available online.
I watched it and it has the type of character I enjoy. Mr. One Punch Man is essentially an unbeatable god tier guy / deus ex machina. So why didn’t I really enjoy the anime?
I think the show tries to be funny… with a lot of talking and I just didn’t like it. I mean… if you’re the villain… would you let your victim say their last monologue for 30 minutes before you finished them off? That’s what happens in this show. Either Saitama will let the bad guys ramble on before zapping them. Or the bad guys will let a random fail guy talk one forever so that Saitama can come rescue them. =_=.
tl;dr - One punch man had so much potential but didn’t live up to the hype


Film buffs gathered at the Project Contemporary Art Space to watch the first annual Wollongong Film Festival in October.
Local film maker and Festival Director, Gia Frino is excited about what the festival can bring for other local film makers.
“I’m a feminist and I feel that women film makers need an outlet and a platform to showcase their talent, while raising money for a very worthy cause for the One Girl Foundation.
The One Girl Foundation has a fundraising event each year called ‘Do it in a Dress Campaign’. Ms Frino said that this was the reason she chooses to get involved with the foundation.
“They enable the girls to make steps towards independence and self-efficiency, and that starts with the education of girls,” she said.
“They pay for girls to go to school, from when they first start to when they graduate.
“They pay for all the books, bags and pens, as well as sanitary items and other things that they may need to be able to go to school.”
With all proceeds going to The One Girl Foundation, Wollongong Film Festival is about celebrating women both on and off the screen.
Since 2011, One Girl has supported the education of over 12,000 women and girls. Less than 2 per cent of girls finish primary school in Uganda and up to 50 per cent of girls in Uganda and Sierra Leone are married before they turn 18.
But with education, a girl’s income will increase between 10 to 25 per cent for every year she stays in school. Ninety percent of that income will be invested in her family.
Petrice Graham, an entrant in the contest, said that one of the reasons she entered was because of The One Girl Foundation.
“It’s brilliant, without question, it educates girls in third world countries,” she said.
“Education is the key, it means jobs, it means less poverty, it is linked to wonderfully positive things.
Ms Frino hopes that this festival will become an annual event.
The Wollongong Film Festival was held at the Project Contemporary Art Space, located on Keria Street on Saturday 29th of October.
Local film maker and Festival Director, Gia Frino is excited for the Festival. “I’m a feminist and I feel that women film makers need an outlet and a platform to showcase their talent, while raising money for a very worthy cause in the One Girl Foundation.”
There has been a lull in film festivals over the past 10 or so years, and with the introduction of the Wollongong Film Festival, local talent now have a platform to showcase their talent to family and friends.


I know that most of you don't watch the show, or don't like him but give OchoCinco a chance. I watched the premiere last night because my wife likes the show. I've even been to a taping of an episode. But for their first performance, Chad and Cheryl didn't look half bad.
I think if he puts his mind to it, he can go far on the show. Look at most of the football players that have done well so far: Emmitt Smith, Jerry Rice, and Warren Sapp. Lawrence Taylor didn't far so well. And Cheryl Burke is easy on the eyes. Erin Andrews from ESPN is also on the show, so there is more to look at.

Dubai's Cinemas 1970-80s
Going to the movies was an event for Expatriates in Dubai as it used to be. Movies shown usually originated in the Indian Sub Continent, Egypt or Lebanon. That is not to say Western Movies were never shown - they were - but not as frequently and not always the latest movies. These Cinemas provided entertainment which was in short supply in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Memories of Dubai's old Cinemas were prompted by an Email from an Emirati writing a PhD Thesis about Film in the UAE, asking for information on old Dubai Cinemas. Here are recollections of Dubai's Cinemas as they used to be.
Ahmad Golchin of Gulf Film remembers Dubai's Cinemas
Being in Dubai at a time when street names were non-existent, landmarks were used to guide visitors and cinemas seemed almost strategically placed on the city plan. I have found one in almost all directions forwarded by friends. "Take right from Strand", "Besides Deira cinema", "opposite Al Nasr" were common phrases not just in the 1970s and '80s but in the '90s too. On the eve of UAE's 40th National Day we revisit a lost era of film viewing in the UAE with Ahmad Golchin of Gulf Film, the first distributor of films in the UAE. "When I came here in 1963, there was only the National cinema in Nasr Square. Unlike today, Nasr Square was the end of the city then. The open air cinema was next to a cemetery and there were no bridges or tunnels that connected Deira and Dubai," Golchin says. The only transportation was the abra, but this did not stop people from attending the movies for it was the sole entertainment for people. Apart from this, there was a cinema at a military camp in Sharjah, which they kindly opened to the public, and a gold merchant opened a cinema on the Dubai side in Jumeirah, where now stands a petrol pump and shopping centre." The public's expectations from a cinema were few. All that was needed was a large wall painted white and a projector and it would run full house. "Where now we have proper parking spaces filled with the latest car models, there were donkeys and camels patiently waiting for their owners to return," says Golchin, laughing. "A bell announced the start of the show, and five minutes before the film ended, the bell was rung again so that taxis could arrive to take home those living far away". One of my earliest movie experiences in Dubai was at the Rex cinema on Al Khawaneej Road which was popular with families who would arrive with picnic baskets and let the little ones run around while enjoying the film on mats or in cars with piped-in air conditioning.
In the 1970s things started changing. While the National and Jumeirah cinemas were demolished in the wake of development, names such as Deira, Strand, Plaza, Al Nasr and Dubai cinemas became popular. Deira cinema was the first air-conditioned cinema, opened in the late 1960s. "Those days [in the '70s and '80s] we didn't watch so many movies but visiting the cinemas was a low-budget fun family outing. I remember going to the Strand, Plaza and Al Nasr, the latter for English movies," says Gauri Suri, an Indian who has grown up in the UAE. "Also, we did not have so many movies showing at the same time. Show times were fixed and everything was planned around it." In the 1960s, to accommodate families, "boxes" were created. "At the end of the saloon, enclosed areas were created out of cardboard cartons to provide privacy to families," says Golchin. Due to the lack of television and with rare transistors, newspapers and telephones, movies were the only entertainment. Films were shown through the week, often alternating. "There was one set shown on the weekends, while the others ran through the week. Some repeated several times. There was no way of advertising them. We would either put up a placard on the abras announcing them or hire a town crier to wear written posters if the film was important".
Arabic and Hollywood films were rare, with Bollywood most popular. "Getting Hollywood films was very difficult in the 1960s and '70s. Indian films were brought by gold merchants who traded with the country. And even when the prints were really bad, nobody minded it," said Golchin. In 1998, Golchin took over Al Nasr cinema and converted it into the first cinema in the UAE offering Dolby sound. But the building itself was faulty and Golchin recalled an incident that took place at the time Titanic was released. "Titanic was released in the UAE at select cinemas in the UAE. Unfortunately, it rained very heavily in Dubai that year and the building's roof, which was not built to withstand such weather, started leaking. Water was filling in the hall and viewers were getting angry. Just as the Titanic, it seemed we were sinking too." Though the Galleria at the Hyatt Regency was the first "twin" screen cinema in Dubai, the multiplex culture became strong only in the '90s with the opening of Grand Cineplex and Cinestar (Deira City Centre) cinemas. "Though Firdous and Al Maria were the first cinemas in Abu Dhabi, El Dorado was the first ‘twin cinema' to be built there. The first cinema in Al Ain was built by a Pakistani who fell on hard times. But I remember there was no electricity there then and the projector ran on a generator," adds Golchin. "We were not allowed to go to the cinemas alone when younger," recalled Suri. "Mainly for security reasons but today I feel it's safer with the multiplexes and I see a lot of younger viewers going to the movies without adult supervision". "A multiplex is like buffet offering a variety of cinema to the viewer — action, comedy, classic, drama — while earlier people had no option but to watch what was running," said Golchin. "Countering piracy is another reason why multiplexes happened. But the younger generation cannot imagine what we've seen, except in photos and what we tell them."
This Open Air Cinema was located on Jumeirah Beach Road where Magrudy's Mall is today. Built in 1960s, Jumeirah Cinema was apparently operated by Dubai Petroleum Company. It initially showed a mix of western and Indian film. Later this cinema catered solely for Sub Continent Workers arriving in Dubai for Port Rashid's construction. This small complex included a Cafe and a Supermarket. Jumeirah Cinema complex was demolished in the early 1970s making way for modern Shopping Malls.
We watched movies at an open air cinema run by Dubai Petroleum Company on Jumeirah Beach Road. I saw "The Sound of Music", "Fantasia", the "Blue Max" and "Fraulein Doktor".
Tim Nichols recalls his visits to Jumeirah Cinema
Strand Cinema, Dubaiside near Karama
Showed both Hindi Films and Western Movies. Became as a landmark both as a Cinema and for directions e.g. behind the Strand Cinema, next to the Strand Cinema, opposite the Strand Cinema etc. Strand Cinema has closed but still seems to be used as a traffic marker!
Al Ghurair Cinema
Al Ghurair's Shopping Centre, Dubai's first Shopping Mall, opened in 1982 complete with a cinema which showed both Western and Hindi films. The Shopping Centre and its Cinema soon became popular with Dubai Residents.
Deira Cinema, Al Rigga
Deira Cinema was the first Dubai Cinema I visited in 1971. Located on Al Jazira Road, Deira Cinema was a popular venue. There were two seating choices - sit upstairs, pay more but have reasonably comfortable seats and buy ice cream or a drink from the Attendant in the Interval (there was always an Interval) OR pay less, sit downstairs on uncomfortable seats amongst an all male audience and buy a Seven Up in the Interval. 7Up Sellers each carried a crate of cold 7Up bottles on their shoulders. They ran their metal bottle openers backwards and forwards over the bottles creating an incredibly and unforgettably loud noise to attract customers. That "7Up" sound is indelibly etched on my memory - I can hear it now!
Al Wattan Cinema
Dubai's first Cinema. This Open Air Cinema was located next to Jashanmal's first Dubai Store and Al Nasr Trading Company's store in the middle of a traffic roundabout. Al Wattan Cinema was demolished in the 1970s to make way for new developments.
Rex Air Cinema Airport Road
Gary Crossman recalls visiting the Rex Drive-In Cinema opposite Mirdiff Interchange on the Khawanij Road. It had flexible piped air-conditioning you had to hang on your window to keep cool together with the Speaker. Later the cinema was abandoned and was still there as a derelict site just past Dubai Airport into the 1970s. There were similar open air drive in Cinemas opening in Kuwait and Bahrain. Maybe the Rex Drive In was just ahead of its time!
Plaza Cinema, Dubaiside
Opened in 1972 and was Dubai's first "modern" cinema. Cinema was large and furnished in an "opulent" style for its time. I can recall seeing Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" in a special showing at the Plaza Cinema around 1972. All the seats were sold, perhaps oversold as there were people sitting on the stairways! The film started late and, with two long intervals, finished in the early hours of the next morning. An unforgettable evening! Later Plaza Cinema also presented stage shows and underwent a revamp but in 2011 the cinema finally closed to make way for new developments.
Hyatt Regency Cinema
Hyatt's Galleria Cinema was Dubai's first dual screen cinema. It became popular during the 1980s and still operates today. Regrettably no images are available.
Al Nasr Cinema Karama
Al Nasr Cinema located near Al Nasr Roundabout and Pyramids Shopping Mall was a popular cinema showing a mix of Western and Hindi movies. It opened in the early 1980s (I think!) but closed in 2007 pending redevelopment of the area. Al Nasr Cinema burned to the ground in December 2008.

Hollywood's Rule of Pairs
Anyone watching the recent glut of sequels and remakes pouring out of Hollywood lately doesn’t need to be reminded that the movie-making capital of the country is sometimes a little starved of original movie ideas. It’s so bad that the rare idea gets immediately snapped up — snapped up, I’ve observed, by more than one studio.
It’s what I call the “Rule of Pairs.” Inevitably, Hollywood will take two bites at the same apple if it looks good enough.
I think I first noticed the Rule in 1998, when “Deep Impact” and “Armaggedon” hit theaters within months of each other, both about giant space rocks on collision courses with Earth. That same year, Pixar’s “A Bug’s Life” and Dreamworks’ “Antz” were each released, both computer-animated films about insects.
In 2001 Hollywood made the move into epic fantasy with two simultaneous franchises: “The Lord of the Rings” and “Harry Potter.” In 2004 the ancient Greeks were on the menu, with “Alexander” and “Troy.” Flash forward a few years and there were two movies about, of all things, author Truman Capote (“Capote” and “Infamous”).
(I just briefly skimmed over the past two decades here, and I know there’s movie pairs I’m missing. Chime in in the comments!)
EDIT: Additions to the list, courtesy of my own memory and other people’s suggestions:
“Finding Nemo” (2003) and “Shark Tale” (2004), animated films about fish
“The Prestige” (2006) and “The Illusionist” (2006), about early-20th-Century magicians
“Tombstone” (1993) and “Wyatt Earp” (1994), about Wyatt Earp
“Chasing Liberty” (2004) and “First Daughter” (2004), about president’s daughters’ romantic hijinks with undercover Secret Service agents
Now, just this past week, we’ve seen trailers for two movies based on the story of Snow White. Like some but not all of the above movie pairs, the two take different approaches — very different approaches — to the identical subject.
First out was Snow White and the Huntsman, starring Kristen Stewart (“Twilight”) and Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”) alongside Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen:
This, you can see, is a fantasy epic, with stylized action but a grim tone.
That’s not the case with the second Snow White film, “Mirror Mirror,” starring Lily Collins (“Priest”), Armie Hammer (“The Social Network”) and Julie Roberts as the Evil Queen:
Other than the fact that the two movies include the characters of Snow White and a dashing leading man and include a famous Hollywood actress as the Evil Queen, not a lot in common. “Mirror Mirror” is comic, almost farcical. Whereas the violence and magic in “Snow White and the Huntsman” had dark edges to them, in “Mirror Mirror” they’re played for laughs.
My biased opinion is that “Snow White and the Huntsman” looks like a much better movie. That’s not to say it’ll be a good movie — we don’t see that much of it, and don’t even get to see Kristen Stewart’s Snow White speak a single line of dialogue, moreso that “Mirror Mirror” looks awful. It has its moments — Julia Roberts enjoying herself as a villain, lavish costumes, a few good one-liners — but counters them with moments of plain low-brow comedy. There’s all sorts of potential humor in the idea of a love-potion-gone-wrong, but “Mirror Mirror” goes with a “puppy love potion” that makes the prince imitate a puppy? And the worst sin of all: winking anachronistic humor, as one of the dwarfs quotes “Scarface” with “Say hello to my little friend” and cartoonishly pummels the prince in the face. The movie certainly has its audience and should do well, but the two trailers so far would seem to put “Snow White and the Huntsman” in the front of this movie pair.

Overall, Jeremy Piven’s evolution as an actor and public figure has been fascinating to watch and it will be interesting to see where his career goes in the future.


Thanks to the last of the air-miles earned during my previous life as a jet-setting astronomer I was recently able to take a wee hiatus from mummy-duty and head solo to NYC for two days. The main motivator for the trip was to see the off-off-Broadway premier of Ed Falco’s play Possum Dreams (which I wrote about here) but I also got to hang with friends that I get to see way too infrequently these days. After a few travel hijinks I arrived in the city mid-morning on the Saturday and headed straight for the main library. Although I am super lucky in how frequently I get to visit NYC I’m not often in mid-town so I wanted to take the opportunity, while untethered by a two-year-old, to play tourist. It is such a beautiful building but it was slightly disappointing that the Rose Reading Room was shut to visitors that morning otherwise I would have loitered quite a bit longer.
My friend’s apartment, and my home for the night, is in the Upper West Side so I strolled from the library through the mayhem of Times Square. It has been years since I set foot in Times Square and I swear there were far more life sized (and frankly disturbing) cartoon characters this time around! But it was nice to get into the theatre-mood for the upcoming evening’s entertainment. The rest of the day was filled with a trip to the MET and great food before we found our way to the twelfth floor of a building on West 54th and a teeny-tiny blackbox theatre for Possum Dreams. The three friends who came with me had no exposure to the play prior to the show so I was really interested to see how their experience would differ to mine.
If you are interested in a professional’s review of the play you can read a, deservedly, glowing one here but let me start with – I enjoyed it immensely. The actors, to my mind, did the text proud and indeed Leighann Niles DeLorenzo brought a version of ‘Jan’ to life that was completely different (and far superior) to the one I saw in my head when I studied the play. The stage area was compact to say the least but they made effective use of the space and the actors navigated it well. They only aspected of the play that felt constricted by the stage area was the physicality and the destruction of the living-room set that the play calls for – I would love to see what these actors could do if they had the space to really throw the dinning chairs around! The ninety minutes of the play flew by and the actors held my attention throughout – even though I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the possum (you’ll have to go see the play to find out what I mean)! As a newbie playwright what mostly stuck with me was the success of the ‘reactions’ that the actors brought to the play – by that I mean the reaction of the person who wasn’t speaking to what is being said. When you are studying, or indeed writing, a play you are intently focusing on the dialogue but when the play is translated into the visual medium up on a stage there is so much subtext and ‘story’ being told by the actor who isn’t speaking. I assume as a playwright you just have to cross your fingers and toes and hope that if you are lucky enough for a play to make it to production the actors are good enough to bring that level of performance to the piece.
I’m now gladly back to mummy-duty, spring weather, the last few weeks of semester and my playwriting class. For the end-of-class portfolio I have a one-act play (around 30 mins in length) to complete and I’m slowly, though frustratingly, forcing my concepts and ideas into something resembling a play – with the help and patience of the hubby, my professor and kick-ass classmates! I did have some very pleasing news this week though. A 10-minute play I wrote at the beginning of the semester has just won top prize in the prose category in the Shapiro Writing Contest – an annual competition run by the University of Toledo. Does this mean I can now claim to be an award winning playwright?! Nah – but it is very nice to know that I don’t completely stink at this writing malarky! If you want to take a gander at the play you can read it here: Thwarted.


Friday-Sunday, June 2-4
WJSL East Dennis
WJSL East Dennis is a unique staging of three short plays. Two are thrillers by Lucille Fletcher, originally presented as radio plays in the 1940s: Sorry, Wrong Number and The Hitchhiker. The third play is the touching and humorous Save Me a Place at Forest Lawn by Lorees Yerby. Performances: Friday, June 2 and Sunday, June 4 at 7:30 pm; Saturday, June 3 matinee at 3 pm. Tickets: $15. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the library (508.385.8151) or emailing email@example.com.
Fletcher’s plays were originally heard by families gathered together in the comfort of their own living rooms to hear disembodied voices emanating from a radio console. Director Elsa Bastone’s innovative production gives audiences a view into the old-time radio studio itself, where actors, organist, announcer, and sound effects people wove their magic for a listening audience. For this paean to the Golden Age of radio drama, Bastone (picture above) has selected gems from the radio play repertoire, notably, Sorry, Wrong Number, which the legendary actor Orson Welles called "the greatest single radio script ever written!”
WJSL East Dennis stars Bob Redding, Jane Taylor, Kay De Ford, and June Douglas-White. Supporting actors: Louis Maloof and Judy L'Heureux. Sound effects: Bob Redding. Music: Ruth McKendree Treen.
