As their last film review of the year, Uncle Earl’s movie critics, Manny and Annie, chose a holiday classic–Christmas in Connecticut (1945) starring Barbara Stanwyck.
Annie loved the movie. Manny struggled to find anything he liked about it. The result is another rousing review worthy of Ebeneezer Scrooge himself.
All of us at Uncle Earl’s Soap wish you a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year! Enjoy the review!
Manny: Happy Holidays to everyone! And you too, Annie. I love this time of year, especially because it emphasizes the good things about religion. Fundamentals, like simple pleasures and thankfulness for what we have. Whether you rejoice in miracle births, eternal oil lamps, or the fact that days are getting longer isn’t important. It’s the fundamentals that count.
Which is why my present to you, this year, is a warning. Stay away from this movie! It’s a waste of time and space. The movie studio pushed this through quickly, paying absolutely no attention to fundamentals.
Where should I start? Let’s reflect the joy of the season and be positive. The best acting comes from Casablanca veterans Greenstreet and Sakall, and housekeeper O’Connor. All of these are supporting roles, but the actors are strong enough to support the rest of the movie.
That’s it. Nothing else about this hastily produced film is even worth complaining about. Annie, if you insist, I’ll go into details, but won’t know when to stop. Watch “It’s a wonderful Life” or “Miracle on 34th Street” for the millionth time instead. It will be far more rewarding than this.
Annie: Happy holidays to all! Yes, even you, Manny! I too love this time of year for all the reasons you mentioned, but I’ll add another. I love holiday films! From animated classics to sappy love stories, you’d be hard-pressed to find a holiday movie I don’t like. And, surprise, surprise, Christmas in Connecticut is one of my favorites.
As Barbara Stanwyck’s completely non-domestic character channels a future Martha Stewart and becomes tangled in one scheme after another, I can hardly stop laughing! Yes, her character is devious and might seem to have a questionable moral compass at best, but that’s her appeal. Sometimes it’s refreshing to come across a leading lady who has an edge and isn’t “cookie cutter” (if you’ll pardon the holiday pun). My love of this movie isn’t because the script is stellar or the acting phenomenal, although I enjoy watching Barbara Stanwyck in most anything. It’s because it’s just a darn fun, snarky movie! And when I’m up to my eyeballs in holiday hustle and bustle, sometimes a light-hearted film like Christmas in Connecticut (and a glass or two of eggnog) is all I need to de-stress and recharge. C’mon Manny, don’t channel Ebeneezer Scrooge!
Manny: Bah Humbug, Annie! You cracked one too many eggs into your nog. I love a good holiday movie, and this isn’t one of them. It takes terrible acting to pierce that fourth wall, and Barb’s overacting sticks pins through my eyeballs in every scene. The worst is when she first meets our “hero.” If the movie had been made today she would be tearing his clothes off!
Oh, and what kind of “hero” do we have here? His ship is torpedoed by an American sub for one thing! He stays alive on a raft with a companion for 18 days and looks like a champ? He dreams of fancy meals but we know absolutely nothing about his background? And it turns out he sings and plays piano. He’s supposed to be a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy, a position known for highly technical skills. In what?
Annie, our minimum standards for a story have to start with a GOOD STORY! Next we need to have solid characters. In a movie the story has to be told well, and the actors have to know how to ACT!
This movie has a terrible premise, and the characters are superficial and inconsistent. Worst of all, Barb and our “hero” weren’t even acting. They walked through their parts with exaggerated emotions. Please, watch A Christmas Carol, or A Christmas Story, or even Home Alone instead of this!
Annie: Manny, Manny, Manny (shaking my head). I may have cracked an extra egg in my nog, but I think you added a few extra shots of brandy! I find Stanwyck’s acting delightful and the premise of the story hysterical! Who cares if our hero sings and plays the piano and that we don’t get his resume of technical skills? And it’s Hollywood! He can’t show up in a holiday comedy looking like a shriveled raisin.
How quickly you forget that you gave Abbott and Costello high marks for just being “funny” and producing a lighthearted movie that helps lighten anyone’s stress load. And you DEFENDED their exaggerated emotions in the name of comedy. So you of all people should understand where I’m coming from with Christmas in Connecticut! Lighten up Ebeneezer or you’ll get coal in your stocking!
Manny: Annie, you are comparing the “A” team to Stanwyck? As actors, they were consistent, and played their parts perfectly, all the time. Barb went from fondling a mink stole to oggling her sailor like a high-school actor. Watch that second scene again and I dare you to say that’s professional acting!
And you want light-hearted comedy? Then chew on these snippets. His friend teaches him the “magoo” – seduce women to extract favors and then ditch them? When the architect and writer kiss in the bedroom he makes a joke about his “double ribbed” pipes? The sailor first meets the writer, and asks “can I watch you and the baby?” Creepy! And later he asks, “Is she happy with her husband?” Double creepy. What about the “nice firm rump” comment? Finally, and as a great “Martha Stewart” tour de force, tell me you weren’t insulted when the fat man demands seeing the “charming sight of an attractive woman flipping flap jacks.”
Annie, good comedy can be well written, well acted, and wrapped around a well-crafted story that doesn’t insult our intelligence or gender. Come on, raise your standards!
Annie: So I had the good fortune to watch Christmas in Connecticut over again, and you know what? I still love it! I’m going to completely ignore that you called Abbott and Costello the “A team of comedy” and assume you’re still adding too much rum to your nog. But at the risk of being slaughtered by feminists, the man demanding to see the “charming sight of an attractive woman flipping flap jacks” didn’t phase me. In fact, I’m pretty impressed by her flap jack flipping. Have you ever tried to flip a flap jack without a spatula? Take my word for it, it isn’t easy. There’s no need for anyone to get their tinsel in a tangle over in 2015 by every compliment given in the context of 1945. And need I remind you that the primary cook in the movie is–wait for it–A MAN!
So what if the sailor wanted to watch her bathe her baby? He’d been away from his very large family for eons and was nostalgic for home. Speaking of which, that scene also kicks your sexist rant out the window. It is–wait for it–A MAN who ultimately knew how to and did bathe and feed the baby!
My bottom line? Christmas in Connecticut is a great movie to get you in the holiday spirit. Sure, some scenes are corny, but that’s part of its charm. It’s heart-warming, nostalgic (if the horse and buggy scene doesn’t make you want to grab a mug of hot cocoa then you must have ice running through your veins!), and worthy of a place on anyone’s must-watch holiday movies list.
Happy Holidays Everyone!

Anne Hathaway: ‘It’s Easy Getting Naked’
ANNE Hathaway says it’s easier getting naked on screen than mastering a British accent.
The American actress plays a Yorkshire girl Emma in her new movie One Day but the 28-year-old star insists she was more comfortable stripping off for a skinny dipping scene with her costar Jim Sturgess than speaking in her character’s regional dialect.
“I was more nervous about the accent than nudity,” Anne said.
“I mean, you can do sit-ups as prep for the nudity. But there aren’t a lot of vocal sit-ups that you can do. Maybe it’s because I have more experience in my life being naked than pretending to be British.
“So I got more comfortable quickly with the nudity than I did with the accent.”

Some people are such a great pleasure to work with. Last week I got to film social entrepreneur and kindness activist Javier Morata van Eimeren. A father of two who – after his divorce – had fallen into a depression, but refound inner strength to come out of it stronger than ever.
Loneliness caused Javier to feel depressed, and at times he had thoughts of suicide. His dad had always taught him to stay strong, to never show his emotions. It was the same loneliness however that made him realize: men do cry.
While Javier courageously opened up and gave me his take on loneliness, I let the camera roll. Let me show you how magic happens when people are just honest and authentic:


Anna Hays was born into a family of artists and grew up in the Hudson Valley. After graduating from Oberlin College, Anna worked in New York City as an assistant for the experimental theater company, The Wooster Group. While immersing herself in the rich alternative culture of downtown New York, she traveled uptown to study film history at Columbia University. Her interest in filmmaking continued to develop and soon she packed her bags and headed west. There, she landed the coveted position of producing low-budget features for B-movie king, Roger Corman. Under Corman's tutelage, Anna learned virtually every aspect of filmmaking, from directing, writing, editing and casting to distributing and exhibiting films. It was the ultimate master class in moviemaking and a unique introduction to the inner workings of the Hollywood film industry. After producing over a dozen features, she was recruited by fellow Corman alum, Francis Coppola, to produce a low budget feature for his company, Commercial Pictures. Soon after, she, along with Sean Penn, presented the underground Soviet rock-n-roll documentary, Rock, at the Sundance Film Festival.
Anna was then called back into the theater world as managing director of the environmental theater festival, Padua Hills. It was around this time that Anna began her search for a way to integrate her varied experience and start expressing her own ideas. She soon discovered the world of interactive storytelling using emerging media. Intrigued by the possibility of telling stories with new narrative tools, she began writing for a variety of storytelling mediums. Anna has been creating stories for books, animation, games, toys, film, and theme park attractions ever since.


in the early 1930s' to 1990s', but these days it is rarely made for some unknown purpose.
|Gangster movies are those types of films which features gangster characters. These can include members of the Mafia, Triads, and inner city street gangs. These movies were very common back
One very notable gangster films was " The Godfather" made in 1972. Due to its success, "The Godfather Part II" was made two years later.
Other famous films where:
- State of Grace (1990)
- Pulp Fiction (1994)
- Casino (1995)

Behind-the-scenes photography offers a unique perspective; not only is one able to see the inner workings of filmmaking but, sometimes, one is able to see a more candid side to the individuals who grace the big screen.
Who doesn't love a party? After all the holiday and New Year’s Eve parties, it seems fitting to share a few favorite photographs from the Archives’ “Company History: Events” collection.
Seasonal photographs are rare and fun finds in in the Fox Archives. These holiday photographs are part of the Starhead collection (a sub-collection of the Fox Archives photography collection), which consists of portraits and candid moments of Fox employees when the star system was in place.
The Starhead collection is a small portion of the Fox Archive’s larger photograph collection. It consists of portraits and candid images of employees (i.e., actors, actresses, writers, directors, production executives, etc.) who were contracted by Fox when the star system was in place.
In honor of Halloween, below are a few photographs from the Fox Archives of famous film heads showcasing the art of film makeup and prosthetics from 20th Century Fox Film and Fox Searchlight Pictures titles.
The Fox Newman Scoring Stage, named after famed composer and Fox Music Director from 1939 to 1959 Alfred Newman, was constructed in 1928. It was designed by C.H. Muldorfer and built by George E. Miller before being converted to a scoring stage in 1936. During the past 81 years, a number of films and television series have been scored here.
Though rarely used today, slant boards (also known as leaning boards) were commonly found on movie sets. They were designed to allow reclining without wrinkling neatly pressed costumes, reclining when the costume was too snug for the actor to sit or reclining when the immense weight of the costume limited mobility.
Adam West, notably known for his role as the titular character Batman (the film was produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox Film in 1966), created a formidable connection with his fan base, nationally and internationally. In homage to Adam, who will forever be a pop culture icon and hero, we are sharing a few of our favorite photographs of him with his ever-dedicated fans.
He is and will be greatly missed.
While the film experienced a few production challenges, some of the most spectacular sets were created for “Cleopatra,” which premiered in New York City on June 12, 1963.
FX’s new show “FEUD: Bette and Joan,” premiering Sunday, March 5, will tell the story of the rivalry between Joan Crawford (Jessica Lange) and Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon). In light of the show, we thought it would be fascinating to look back at some photography from the set of “Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte,” which was distributed by 20th Century Fox Film in 1964.
Today, Oct. 28, is the 88th anniversary of the dedication ceremony for the Los Angeles Fox Studio lot. Below are aerial photographs of the lot, also known as Movietone City, showing how it has transformed over the decades.
I love behind-the-scenes photography. The Fox Archives has gorgeous portraits, scene stills and Fox lot photography, but the photographs that depict what happens off camera are my personal favorite.
In memory of Gene Wilder, known for making us laugh, I'm sharing a few of my favorite photographs of him breaking character and having a few laughs of his own on the set of “Young Frankenstein,” distributed by 20th Century Fox Film in 1974.
As part of the Fox Archives’ Notable Title project, I am currently processing (organizing, rehousing and cataloging) the film “In Old Chicago,” which was produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox Film in 1938. Here are some photos from the planning and creation of the premiere at the Four Star Theatre in Los Angeles.

Has anyone developed a patch such as 'theater max'
for PD for sound design / triggering a cue list?
Just looking into possibilities seeing that i was just
asked to do sound for a play that starts next week. I
would love to develop something but am afraid i do not
have time. Otherwise i must go the shameful commercial
route unless we as a collective body could recommend
something free/open to use?
my only experience in theater sound has been 'sfx' and
there is no chance of that....

12 Jul 2008 - Critics TVB splitting its own people, Francis Ng exposes Myolie Wu cries claiming acting in series depends on relations
Critics TVB splitting its own people, Francis Ng exposes Myolie Wu cries claiming acting in series depends on relations
Source: Apple Daily
12th July 2008
Francis Ng exposes when filming 'Triumph in the Skies', there was an actress who claimed filming series depends on connections, it was said that the actress is Myolie Wu who played his girlfriend.
Recently TVB series "Triumph in the Skies" is broadcasting in the midnight on TVB station, Francis Ng who played Sam in it was at the studio for a program hosted by Sandra Ng as a guest. He criticized TVB's current method of newbies promotion is inappropriate. He exposed that there was an actress that time who cried to him complaining that filming series was not about acting skills but about connections, it was disclosed that the person was Myolie Wu. Francis Ng also frankly expressed that he dislikes TVB's awards ceremony, he believes such an initiation of TVB is obviously splitting their own people inside.
TVB is re-airing 'Triumph in the Skies' starring Francis Ng which was first aired in 2003 very late at night, receiving welcoming responses, the late night's ratings broke the record, the average is 7 points approximately with forty-four thousand audience watching the series. They talked about Francis Ng's fun of acting in TVB at those years, also about the acting level of the actors which has deteriorated.
The new people is lack of acting training
During the program, Sandra criticized harshly on the recent 'Speech of Silence' series acted by Kate Tsui and Kenneth Ma, claiming the acting skills of these new generations seem superficial, Francis Ng too agreed that TVB's direction of promoting their newbies is inappropriate, revealing that they totally have no acting training whatsoever. In fact, that year when filming 'Triumph', Francis has tipped a newbie, he said: "There was once where I intentionally NG that person 30 times, I asked him (or her) why he did not read and familiarized with his lines, the whole crew purposely criticized him."
Francis revealed that during the period of filming the above mentioned series, he advised an actress to put effort in acting, when she unexpectedly cried out, and raised her tone saying that filming series these days is not about acting skills but about connections. Francis said: "What is the logic turning thing this way? What sons, what daughters (pets/favorites)? What's the point having what king, what queen? (TV king/queen), a TV station that shuts its door and splits their own people from within. So what if you win it this time, next time someone elses gets it, wouldn't it be bad if I don't get it? I don't like such things." It was said that the actress meant was Myolie Wu, she accepted an interview in June 2004 claiming she doesn't cry easily, but there are times when it is exceptional, admitting such time like when being NG in 'Triumph'. It was because she couldn't act well and was NG numerous times, and cried not knowing what to be done.
Blames screenwriter for standard deterioration
Actually in the 'Triumph' series, actresses who have scenes with Francis are only Michelle Ye, Flora Chan and Myolie Wu, where Michelle has least scenes with him, while Flora has years of rich experience, not fitting into the description of a newbie. The newbie actress Francis mentioned, playing his loved one as well as having most scenes with him is none other than Myolie Wu. When reporters called Myolie to clarify Francis' claim, she denied being the actress Francis meant, she said: "That definitely is not me, how can filming series not depend on acting skills!"
What Francis is most dissastisfied about is how TVB feels that they are benefiting artists (non-TVB) that they asked to film series: "I film for you because I respect you, not to benefit myself or to promote myself, they (TVB) kept feeling that they are benefiting others, one promotion is a few hundred thousand (HKD), if you go out (for promotion events) everyday, you get a few millions, but they never think of how many millions I have helped them earn! And they don't even pay high."
Sandra also criticized the level of the TVB scriptwriters has deteriorated. 'Love Exchange' by Michael Miu and Anita Yuan was just a like a radio drama, while the confession of love scene in 'Speech of Silence' by Kenneth Ma and Kate Tsui couldn't be more fake, she said: "How do screenwriters these days write, the ones who act are fake, the series become fake, not refreshing and not romantic at all!"

Last November, I had an idea – I wanted to write and direct a character-driven drama centered around a single protagonist who would drive the film. The character would be played by best friend and roommate Nick Clifford, with whom I’d long talked about collaborating. Nick is a good-looking guy who a books a lot of all-American roles, but I had in mind something a little darker. So I started writing. The result was “The Opportunist,” my first short as a writer/director. The film tells the story of a night in the life of a social shape-shifter addicted to the visceral thrill of invading the lives of others. I’ve always been fascinated by the hyper-social, people who just seem to know how to effortlessly work a room, but I became increasing fixated on the idea of someone who had that skill, but who used it for less than pure ends… We started pre-production in December and were shooting in February.
From the outset, it was clear that we would try to shoot Scarlet – it’s small, versatile camera perfect for our all-handheld shoot. I’m a big fan of the 16mm character-driven dramas by European filmmakers like the Dardenne brothers and Jacques Audiard and I wanted the film to feel like we were hovering over our protagonists shoulder for the whole film, watching him work, hanging on his every move. Early on we talked about shooting with RED Pro Primes, but when 3GR’s Adam Bricker mentioned a project that was shooting 2K with old 16mm primes, the idea simply stuck – 2K made the world of the film feel smaller, grainer, and more intimate – just what we were looking for. We shot tests to feel out the limits of the sensor – 2K is definitely noisier, especially in the shadows, so we wanted to make sure we were shooting the cleanest possible image given the decreased resolution. Our DP Mike Fuchs flew out from New York and we shot and projected a series of tests to make sure the image would hold up on the big screen. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the image looked at 3:1 compression and 800 ISO. Also, by shooting on 16mm primes, we were able to shoot extremely low-light environments wide open without losing all of our depth of field.
2K really helped out our data-management and post work-flow as well, especially given the relatively small file sizes – a 128GB card suddenly held almost 90 minutes of footage! Working at Final Cut in Santa Monica, our editor Chris Amos turned out our first assembly edit 7 days after we wrapped. From there, we edited for another six weeks before turning the project over to our dear friend Tyler Roth at Company 3 in Chicago for final color. And then, just as the end was coming into view, we got some really unexpected news: the work-in-progress cut we’d sent overseas at the beginning of March had been accepted to Critics’ Week at the Cannes film festival, one of 10 shorts selected from over 1,700 submissions – and not only that, we were selected as the only American short in competition at Cannes…!
The last few weeks have been chaotic to say the least as we burn through the final stages of post: VFX, sound mix, conform, and DCP authoring. I’m pleased to report that after screening our DCP at Technicolor in Hollywood, the Scarlet’s 2K image holds up beautifully on the big-screen. We shot a few scenes a little brighter than we intended so that we could time them down for the final version and minimize noise, but even the lowest-light scenes showed very little sign of unwanted noise. The image just sort of “sizzles” in the way old 16mm film does. I’m obviously a little biased, but I think this is the most “16mm” feeling footage I’ve ever seen come from a RED.
A huge thanks to Adam, Brett and Charlie at 3GR and Tims Johnson at Blacklist for helping us put this package together – we were a very modest production and they made it happen for us for at a great price. Thanks also to Mike, Chris, and Tyler for shepherding the image from start to finish. This has been a remarkable six months, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. If you happen to be in Cannes next week, look us up – we have our world premiere at Espace Miramar at 2PM on May 18th!

L'Isola del Cinema - The Island of the Movie Festival
Every year since 2006, between late June and early September Rome hosts a movie festival known as La Isola del Cinema. It is hosted on Isola Tiberina, right in the middle of the Tiber River. This is an open air cinema known as Sala Visconti. There is also another cinema in Trastevere called CineLab.
The films include many Italian and foreign films including Hitchcock and Kubrick retrospectives. There are also films by Wong Kar Wai, Robert Altman, etc.
The island (along with the banks of the river) are lined with cafès, bars, and restaurants along with vendors selling knickknacks, DVD's, etc.
Here is a video from a prior year, but it gives you an idea about what the unique Italian movie festival in Rome is about.

All hail one note. Featuring Marion Cotillard and Michael Fassbender.
As a learning actor, any director worth their salt will teach you never to play the end – to allow your knowledge of the end of a line or a scene inform the way you begin it. Every thought your character has, every word they speak, every action they carry out must be given it’s due time, rather than skipping ahead to the ‘intense,’ ’emotional’ or ‘interesting’ parts. By playing the end, you deny your character their journey and so too the audiences ability to come along on it and empathise with them.
Unfortunately, this is precisely what happened when I watched Macbeth. Yes, of course we all already know the story. There’s nothing new to tell in terms of plot. So naturally, in any retelling of a classic story, the focus falls on how to share it differently from the times before. The director asks themselves, what new angle can we take?
In the case of Macbeth, I think director Justin Kurzel’s focus was an attempt at looking more deeply at the emotional ramifications that come upon the story’s central characters as a result of Macbeth’s murderous act(s). Much of Shakespeare’s text is in fact eschewed in favour of placing Macbeth & Lady M under the microscope. It’s a fair perspective, and had it been done effectively, would’ve been quite a refreshing one, looking less at the classic one-liners and more at the disintegration of a human.
But where was the direction? Perhaps it was spent more on making settings beautiful, fight scenes majestic, and slow-mo shots stunning. But all the beauty in the world won’t make a production engaging. That’s why in the theatre, Macbeth’s true home, even a production where the actors wear stage blacks and perform in a bare studio can have the same impact as a production staged with all the trimmings at the National Theatre. As long as it’s performed well, it doesn’t matter what you layer on top; likewise, if it’s not performed well, the dressings will do little to save you.
We all know Cotillard and Fassbender are strong performers, that’s a mute point. The issue here was the eyes behind the camera guiding these actors to elicit variation, dynamics and above all, change. Because quite simply, there was none. By assuming that we already knew what was going on and thus focusing not on action, but on the devastating emotional toll of the act, Kurzel seems to have his actors play nothing but devastation. From beginning to end. At times I felt like the film was merely a competition between Fassbender and Cotillard to see who could go longer in a scene without blinking. Cue intense stares.
I’ve seen actors give a one-note performance before, but I’ve never seen an entire film played on one note. Or perhaps I have, and it was clearly just as forgettable as this disappointing rendition of Macbeth.
RATING: 2/5 **

Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
Schreck’s timely and galvanizing play became a sensation off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway where it received two Tony Award nominations among countless other accolades. The New York Times hailed What the Constitution Means to Me as “not just the best play to open on Broadway so far this season, but also the most important.”

A my mythological beast hides behind the mask.
After eight years of being imprisoned in La Picota jail for murder, Omar will try to find someone that will assume legal responsibility to request provisional release in his name.
Minotauro is a documentary film, directed by Joaquín Uribe, that initially hoped to tell the story of Omar, an imprisoned artist accused for a murder crime. After eight years of paying his sentence, he manages to obtain a 72-hour exit permit, as part of a process to regain his freedom. What Joaquin did not expect was that throughout the two years of pre-production and filming, he would come across a person full of masks that would lead him to change the course of his original idea and even, that he would become another character in the daily life of Omar, who believes his life is part of an act.
All this has transformed the feature film into a constant ambivalence where the pretension of what is real is told and, on the other hand, the fantasies of this prisoner who relives time and the murder he committed; as well as other illusions that will be shown throughout the documentary.
"My film travels through a maze that reaches the true face of Omar".
With his participation in BAM, he hopes to find national and international co-producers, as well as a sales agent that helps him to reach different festivals and platforms.

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii is a 1972 film featuring Pink Floyd performing six songs in the ancient Roman amphitheatre inPompeii, Italy. It was directed by Adrian Maben and recorded in the month of October with 24 tracks studio quality without a live audience.
The performances of “Echoes,” “A Saucerful of Secrets,” and “One of These Days” were filmed from October 4, 1971 to October 7, 1971. The remaining songs were filmed in a Paris studio, along with additional front projection footage for insertion into the Pompeii performances. The sequences in Paris were filmed in late 1971/early 1972, and can be distinguished by the absence ofRichard Wright‘s beard. This version was released in theaters in September 1972 and is also included on the DVD edition as an extra feature.
In August 1974, another version was released combining the original film with supposed recording sessions of The Dark Side of the Moon at Abbey Road Studios. These sessions were actually staged for the film, as the recording of the album had been completed when these sessions were filmed in January 1973 and the band was mixing the album at the time.


Extrait du film avec un discours mémorable de Charlie Chaplin
Chaplin’s first dialogue picture, The Great Dictator (1940), was an act of defiance against German dictator Adolf Hitler and Nazism, filmed and released in the United States one year before the U.S. abandoned its policy of isolationism to enter World War II. Chaplin played the role of "Adenoid Hynkel" Dictator of Tomania. The film also showcased comedian Jack Oakie as "Benzino Napaloni", dictator of Bacteria. The Napaloni character was clearly a jab at Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and Fascism.
The film was seen as an act of courage in the political environment of the time.

Films That Have the Most Sequels
It's always exciting when a new sequel is released. You get to see your favorite characters once again in a new — or not so new — storyline. Sometimes, however, the sequels seem to go on forever. After a while, you're not sure where it all began anymore!
Read on for the movies with the most sequels ever. Some have five, some fifteen, and some more than twenty. Can you guess which movies they'll be?
One of the most successful movie series in the horror genre is Halloween, currently at 11 total films. When it was first released in 1978, viewers were appalled and intrigued by the suspenseful story of serial killer Michael Myers, one that seemingly never ends.
Every movie in the Batman series may not technically qualify as a sequel, but the sheer number of them is impressive in itself; there are 14 Batman films dating as far back as 1943. In fact, the first Batman movies were a form of World War II propaganda.
While Star Trek was a series first, it was also made into multiple feature-length films. 13 of them, to be exact. The movies have certainly been successful, but they're not as well-known as the classic series starring William Shatner as Captain Kirk.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Halloween isn't the only horror flick with a daunting number of sequels — A Nightmare on Elm Street boasts nine terrifying installments that are worth a scary movie marathon. The plot has some similarities with the former, as well: a serial killer hunts down kids, only he's dead.
El Hombre Lobo / Wolf Man
The Hombre Lobo series follows Count Waldemar Daninsky, a werewolf, who oftentimes gets into trouble with other scary monsters like vampires and even Frankenstein. These movies were released under different names all throughout Europe and made fair profits.
The Land Before Time
The Land Before Time inspires childhood memories for many Gen Xers and Millennials, but it’s likely familiar to even younger generations childhood as well. The most recent sequel was released in 2016, number 14 in the series.
Planet of the Apes
Like many successful movie series, Planet of the Apes inspired a loyal cult following in its heyday. The original series was made up of five films released between 1968 and 1973. It starred Charlton Heston in his discovery of a strange future where apes run the world instead of humans.
The Fast and the Furious
Sometimes, you just want to see cool cars and intense action scenes — and that's precisely what you'll get if you buy a ticket to movie in The Fast Saga. A grand total of nine films have been made in this series since 2001’s The Fast and the Furious, and they're not even close to being done.
If you're not on the Star Wars bandwagon by now, then you're in the minority. Ever since the first movie was released in 1977, fans have gone positively crazy for the space fantasy saga. Since then, it's amassed ten more films, never failing to make big bucks at the cinemas.
Friday the 13th
Any time October 31st rolls around, you'll likely see people impersonating the villain of these popular horror films. They’re often released exactly on Friday the 13th, which makes seeing them in theaters even more exciting. There have been no less than 12 Friday the 13th movies.
The Harry Potter series didn't just rock the literary world; it also made a splash in the cinematic one. Given the fierce following that already existed for Harry Potter at the release of the first movie, no one was surprised by its immediate success.
The Rocky series was a staple for older generations, with many films released during the 70's and 80's, but the films managed to make their way into the 21st century as well. They've been so popular that even the youngest viewers are likely to know the iconic Rocky theme song.
What kid doesn't like to think there's something special about them, something that makes them different from everyone else? This is essentially the premise of X-Men: certain people have powers, and they're swept into a world of heroism and crime-fighting.
Superman is one of those series that’s defined American society. After all, it's been a radio show, television show, comic book and pretty much everything else you can imagine. The man himself is one of those timeless characters in popular culture that just keeps coming back for more.
American Pie wasn't supposed to spawn many sequels, but it was such a hit in theaters that they created three more, along with another three spin-offs. It's not exactly a family-friendly film — the plot centers on a group of friends trying to lose their virginities — but its raw comedy hit home with audiences nationwide.
It's a wonder they've managed to make so many sequels of a movie that is so hard to watch. If you've ever sat through a Saw film, you know that around every corner is a gruesome, traumatic scene waiting to happen. In fact, that's exactly what viewers pay to see. Nails going through people's fingers? Great — if that’s what you’re into.
The Karate Kid
Now here's a kid-friendly movie. It only has five films in the series, one of the smallest numbers on this list, but that doesn't mean it can't catch up to others in the years to come; the latest installment came in 2010, so a new Karate Kid film might just be due soon.
Tom and Jerry
Yes, Tom and Jerry started off as a television series, but it also inspired 12 films starting in 1993 and ending in 2015. At least, until they make a new one — there are rumors of a live-action version coming in the future. It looks like there's no end to the hijinks this pair can get into!
The Police Academy movies are on the older end — they haven't made any new sequels since 1994. In their time, however, they were a hit. These comedy films were about a group of wannabe cops trying to make it on the job. They got into all kinds of trouble, oftentimes getting knocked around in the process.
A total of six movies complete the Alien series (excluding the Alien vs. Predator films), with Alien: Covenant released in 2017. Despite the multiple entries in the series, however, there's one scene that's arguably the most memorable: when an alien explodes from John Hurt's chest. That moment was among the most iconic in cinema history.
The King Kong movies are as imposing as the giant gorilla himself, with twelve hit films that haven't ceased to entertain. It's one of the longest-lasting storylines, as well, with the first-ever Kong movie debuting in 1933. The monster himself is a complicated one — sometimes he's depicted as mindless and destructive, while other times he's a misunderstood antihero.
Like many great movies, Hellraiser is based on a book. The Hellbound Heart by Clive Baker was written in 1986 and laid the foundation for this popular horror film. The author gave up his rights after the first movie, not knowing they'd go on to make nine more with the same name.
The Pink Panther
For those that like a more relaxing film experience, The Pink Panther won't let you down. Whether you go for the older films from the 60s or the more recent reboot from the 2000s, you'll find comedy and suspense rolled together into one delightful movie.
It's not the male-actor-dressed-as-female-character gag that makes Tyler Perry's Madea films such a huge success as much as Madea herself. She’s an over-the-top, tough-love, back-talking grandma with an attitude, and she resonates with many viewers.
When you think about it, what could be better than a talking bear? Apparently, nothing. Yogi Bear was the first animated TV character to unexpectedly explode in popularity in the late 1950's. In fact, Yogi was originally a supporting character to Huckleberry Hound.
Another famous superhero, Spiderman, has eight films to his name. He was originally a comic-book character but made it onto the big screen to rave reviews. People of all ages love New York’s web-spinning guardian.
Not only can you find the Muppets in a total of eight films, but you can also see them in 27 television specials, too. That's a lot of air time. But that's not all! Check out their 11 TV shows, two TV films and three direct-to-video movies. With that amount of content, you could spend months watching only Muppets.
If there's one movie series that might go on forever, it's Sherlock Holmes. The original 1939 movies had no less than 14 installments, and that's not including any movies made after 1946. The character of Sherlock himself dates back to the late 1800's with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original novels, and the most recent Sherlock film was released in in 2018 (Holmes and Watson).
Bond. James, Bond. Who could forget him? Bond has become an iconic film character played by seven different actors in a 57-year lifespan. He was made famous by Sean Connery in the early 60's and was most recently portrayed by Daniel Craig.
The first Godzilla movie premiered in 1954. This prehistoric monster has now reigned over cinema for more than 50 years, with a total of 35 films produced, more than any other movie franchise by most counts. As technology improves, Godzilla only gets bigger, scarier and more realistic — and it seems that audiences can't get enough.

Being a movie extra is an opportunity to experience the magic of filmmaking while earning money. This role is essential in bringing the streets, parties, or epic battlefields to life. Start a search today to learn how to make money as a movie extra.
Extras are part of the intricate tapestry that sets the scene, making a significant impact. It’s a chance to be close to the action, witness the creative process, and potentially rub shoulders with stars, all while contributing to the storytelling.
What is a Movie Extra?
A movie extra, or a background actor, plays a crucial yet understated role in filmmaking. They are responsible for adding realism and atmosphere to the scenes being filmed. Unlike speaking roles, extras do not have lines but their presence is crucial to create a realistic setting. From bustling cityscapes to intimate café scenes, extras are pivotal in setting the right tone.
As an extra, you might find yourself in various settings, but it’s just one piece of the larger production puzzle. This means a significant part of your day could involve waiting on set, ready to step into the scene when needed. This downtime also offers a chance to browse casting sites for future opportunities or even to work on quiet side hustles like writing or virtual assisting. Being a movie extra requires a balance of patience, alertness, and adaptability, making it a unique and engaging role in the world of cinema.
Finding Opportunities as a Movie Extra
The journey to becoming a movie extra begins with knowing where to look. Many casting agencies specialize in recruiting extras for various projects. It’s essential to research and register with reputable agencies in your area. Additionally, online platforms and social media groups dedicated to casting calls can be valuable resources. Explore (and check regularly) various casting websites like Central Casting and Advanced Casting — both of these offer a plethora of opportunities for background roles in productions across the country, from Seattle to Fort Lauderdale.
The good news is that signing up with these casting services is usually free of charge. However, some may require you to take headshots and attend an orientation, ideally in a location near you. For those aiming to work regularly and save time, services like Extras Management are invaluable. They automatically search for and submit your profile to suitable jobs based on your availability and profile, although this convenience comes with a monthly fee.
On the Set: What to Expect
The experience of being on a movie set is unique and can vary greatly. Extras should be prepared for long hours, often including waiting times. It’s important to stay attentive, follow directions from the director or assistant director, and be ready to repeat actions multiple times for different takes. Despite the repetitive nature, maintaining enthusiasm and a positive attitude is crucial.
Networking and Building Relationships
Working as a movie extra also provides a fantastic opportunity to network. Engaging with fellow extras and crew members can open doors to future opportunities. It’s important to remain professional and courteous, as the connections made on set can be invaluable. Building a good reputation can lead to recommendations for other projects.
How Much Do Extras Get Paid?
The pay for movie extras can vary, but it’s an interesting way to earn some extra cash. Typically, if you’re not in a union, you can expect to make between $100 and $200 for a 10- or 12-hour day. If the shooting goes longer, you’ll get paid more for the extra time. Now, if you’re part of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), you’re looking at a higher pay rate – about $187 per day as of 2023. But it gets even better!
Extras can earn more for doing special things like getting wet on set, bringing their own props like pets or sports equipment, having body makeup applied, or showing off special skills like tennis or motorcycle driving. To get the full scoop on payments and other cool perks, it’s a good idea to check out the official SAG-AFTRA handbook for background actors.

Welcome to The Tender Bar! An old, unnamed man who will refer to himself as “Tender” is the protagonist of this film. A struggling, disabled Vietnam vet who has lost his wife and all of his friends, he is on a quest for meaning and understanding. His only companion is a beat-up stuffed monkey named Mr. Tinkles that he carries around with him at all times like a security blanket. He has the need to constantly be in someone’s face asking questions that are a little farther-out than usual.Labpatrika.com
In America in 2021, people have a very philosophical outlook on life, especially those living down in the South. The movie mainly focuses around Tender and his conversations with a character called Ms. B. about what is meant by the word “happiness”.
The Tender Bar Movie :
Tender and Ms. B. were played by two real people. Tender was played by his creator Hector (the author) and Ms B. was played by his wife Nenette Chacon. Tender could be described as a “Jack of all trades”, he begins to tell his story at a bar to a young woman we later come to know as Ms. B, who works there in 2021.
He does the various jobs at the bar during the film with the help of his newfound friend, Mr. Tinkles. Mr. Tinkles is a stuffed toy dinosaur that Tender carries around with him at all times like a security blanket. It is very clear that Hector has done research into the period and culture before writing this movie.
The bar looks like it was in the “alternative” section of a trendy store in the mall, it has very modern architecture and lighting, Tender’s house looks exactly like someone would actually live in during this time (with an old fridge and a microwave). There is realism to the film that makes it look like an actual documentary rather than a made-up movie set for a fictional story as some movies are known for doing these days.
The story is set in South Carolina, in a small town called Greer, the time is 2021. Tender is an old war veteran who lost the love of his life, Anna and lives alone with their son Wilder. He gets no support from his friends and family (the only friend he does have seems to abandon him at a bar one evening when a fight almost breaks out around him).
Tender is not very successful with women as well because of his disabilities. He does not drink or smoke but he does use recreational drugs occasionally to help him cope with the pain from after Vietnam. Tender is a voice of reason as he is constantly trying to think of ways in which to change his life and make it easier. He has an elaborate plan however he never manages to implement it due to the lack of motivation and time.
The film starts off with Tender at a bar, meeting Ms. B, the bartender whom Tender comes to befriend over the course of time while they both work at the bar.
3. Plot Twist:
As well as doing all these jobs Tender also goes around looking for various forms of information on what is defined as happiness in our society and how people define it today when compared with how it was 20 years ago. This is where the “twist” of the movie comes in.
When Tender mentions that many of his ideas on happiness come from a book called “the Tender Bar”, which was written by a New York author named J. R. Moehringer, who wrote about his own bar experiences when he was younger, Ms. B promptly makes him read the book to her at work one day when she doesn’t have any other customers. He imitates Moehringer as he reads it to her and goes through after each page explaining how the story relates to his own life.
4. Final Word
The Tender Bar Movie is actually based on the book written by the same title. The book was written by J. R Moehringer who later adapted it into a screenplay for the movie which he also directed and produced. It was a very eloquent and heartwarming movie about how the love of a father can overcome many obstacles in life and lead to happiness or success in life in spite of where you came from or what your current situation is like.
The Tender Bar Movie is a good movie in the sense that it provides very well done acting, great cinematography, a relatively interesting storyline and a team of people who were well cast. The director J.R Moehringer is also the real-life author of the book that the movie is based on and therefore he was able to put into this movie what he has witnessed since he was young in his own life.

Science fiction films and drama series are mesmerizing viewers from a very long time. the way of presenting these films and dramas has changed so much because of the advancement in the technology and entertainment world but there are still some old series which does not have any compotator and competition. People are still watching and loving these series. The biggest example of them are the drama series made by American science fiction media franchise based on the television series created by Gene Roddenberry called star trek. The most famous series of this franchise was the originals; it was played for three seasons on NBC and was based on the adventures of Captain James T. Kirk played by William Shatner. The captain and his crew was a team which aboard the starship which was launched by USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel, built by the interstellar federal republic United Federation of Planets in the twenty-third century. This series was debut in 1966.
There were also some animated series made by Roddenberry and the adventure continues with The Animated Series and six feature films. The Next Generation followed the crew of a new starship Enterprise set a century after the original series; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager set contemporaneously with The Next Generation; and Star Trek: Enterprise set before the original series in the early days of human interstellar travel. This film had all new members of the cast to portray the young members of the old crew which was the originals. This series also had other segas like Star Trek into Darkness which was launched in 2013 and after that Star Trek Beyond launched in 2016 and there is an upcoming of the series Star Trek Discovery which is ready to launch in 2017. This new sequel of the series will be played on CBS All Access.
There is millions of fans of these science fiction drama series made by star trek franchise and these people love to call themselves Trekkies. This franchise has given a new way to the making of science fiction films and still the use of technology for entertainment which is being displayed in these series is mesmerizing the viewers, they have given a new dimension to the entertainment world. Star Trek had a themed attraction in Las Vegas that opened in 1998 and closed in September 2008. At least two museum exhibits of props travel the world. The series has its own full-fledged constructed language, Klingon.
If you are a fan of new series of star trek, you should definitely watch the old series too. You will see even in that era when the technology was not so advanced how the maker has show the space world. You will find that there is a lot of difference in the use of technology but the acting skills of the cast of old series has make it impossible for viewers to look the other way. The best place to watch these series online is putlocker.


I knew almost nothing about this movie before I went to see it apart from having a look at the trailer and checking IMDB score. It was 8.1/10 when I entered the cinema and 8.2/10 when I exited. Is this movie really that good?
Well, it is good, but not that good. I was initially surprised by the score, but then I looked at the user reviews and there were many of 10/10 ratings. If anything I’ve learned 1 valuable lesson to never trust either 10/10 or 1/10 ratings, especially if you are looking for any sort of objectivity in evaluation.
The movie has a very promising start with a few flashes of brilliance along the way. At one point I sipped some water from a bottle and almost chocked on it due to suddenly bursting with uncontrollable laughter. Mel’s acting is solid and Kevin Hernandez does the supporting act very well… I’ve even heard some people saying that Mel has outdone himself with this one. I seriously doubt that. If you want to compare Mel to Mel, watch Payback (though 7.0/10 seems a bit low for it).
…But the story is predictable, the telling is sporadic. You don’t get many answers about who or why and the bad guys are rather soft and comical. I think I can compare the whole experience to jumping off a boat and swimming to a shore. You get initial depth but as you approach the shore the waters get noticeably shallower until you can stand up and walk in the end. I wish I could get into more details without spoiling it, but I can’t and I don’t think it is really necessary anyway.
And now for the final test – the replay value. Do I feel like I might be able to want to watch this movie again? This is a tough one…. I’d say maybe, though it really should have been a definite yes. So my verdict is 6.8/10 – Entertaining.
P.S. BTW the trailer is pretty misleading


David Carradine famously known as Kwai Chang Caine of the TV series Kung Fu that ran back in the 70’s died today June 4, 2009 at Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel in Bangkok. According to the news sources it was suicide.
He’s one of my favorite actors especially with his role in Kung Fu tv series. Here’s what the news reported about David Carradine – grasshopper…
BANGKOK – Actor David Carradine, a born seeker and cult idol who broke through as the willing student called “grasshopper” in the 1970s TV series “Kung Fu” and decades later as leader of an assassin squad in “Kill Bill,” was found dead Thursday in Thailand. Police said he appeared to have hanged himself.
The officer responsible for investigating the death, Lt. Teerapop Luanseng, said the 72-year-old actor had been staying in a suite at the luxury Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel.
“I can confirm that we found his body, naked, hanging in the closet,” Teerapop said. He said police suspected suicide.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, said the embassy was informed by Thai authorities that Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday. “We send our heartfelt condolences to his family and his loved ones,” he said.
Carradine came from an acting family. His father, John, made a career playing creepy, eccentric characters in film and on stage. His brothers Keith, Robert and Bruce also became actors. Actress Martha Plimpton is Keith Carradine’s daughter.
“My Uncle David was a brilliantly talented, fiercely intelligent and generous man. He was the nexus of our family in so many ways, and drew us together over the years and kept us connected,” Plimpton said Thursday.
Carradine was “in good spirits” when he left the U.S. for Thailand on May 29 to work on the movie “Stretch,” said Tiffany Smith of Binder & Associates, his managers.
“David was excited to do it and excited to be a part of it,” she said by phone from Beverly Hills, noting that Carradine was the sole featured American in the movie, whose other top cast members were French and Chinese. “When he was on a set he was in heaven.”
Filming on the thriller by French director Charles de Meaux began Tuesday, she said, adding that the crew was devastated by Carradine’s death and did not wish to speak publicly about it for the time being.
“It is shocking to me that he is no longer with us,” said Michael Madsen, who played an assassin in “Kill Bill.”
“I have so many great memories of David that I wouldn’t even know where to begin,” he said. “He has a very special place in my heart.”
The Web site of the Thai newspaper The Nation said Carradine could not be contacted after he failed to appear for a meal with the rest of the film crew on Wednesday, and that his body was found by a hotel maid Thursday morning. It said a preliminary police investigation found that he had hanged himself with a cord used with the suite’s curtains and that there was no sign that he had been assaulted.
Police said Carradine’s body was taken to a hospital for an autopsy that would be done Friday.
Carradine appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby. One of his early film roles was as folk singer Woody Guthrie in Ashby’s 1976 biopic, “Bound for Glory.”
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75.
“I wasn’t like a TV star in those days, I was like a rock ‘n’ roll star,” Carradine said in an interview with Associated Press Radio in 1996. “It was a phenomenon kind of thing. … It was very special.”
Actor Rainn Wilson, star of TV’s “The Office,” tweeted about Carradine’s death on Twitter: “R.I.P. David Carradine. You were a true hero to so many of us children of the 70s. We’ll miss you, Kwai Chang Caine.”
Carradine reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine’s grandson in the 1990s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.”
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino‘s two-part saga “Kill Bill.” Bill, the worldly father figure of a pack of crack assassins, was a shadowy presence in 2003’s “Kill Bill – Vol. 1.” In that film, one of Bill’s former assassins (Uma Thurman) begins a vengeful rampage against her old associates, including Bill.
In “Kill Bill – Vol. 2,” released in 2004, Thurman’s character catches up to Bill. The role brought Carradine a Golden Globe nomination as best supporting actor.
Bill was a complete contrast to Caine, the soft-spoken refugee from a Shaolin monastery, serenely spreading wisdom and battling bad guys in the Old West. He left after three seasons, saying the show had started to repeat itself.
“David’s always been kind of a seeker of knowledge and of wisdom in his own inimitable way,” his brother, actor Keith Carradine, said in a 1995 interview.
After “Kung Fu,” Carradine starred in the 1975 cult flick “Death Race 2000.” He starred with Liv Ullmann in Bergman’s “The Serpent’s Egg” in 1977 and with his brothers in the 1980 Western “The Long Riders.”
But after the early 1980s, he spent two decades doing mostly low-budget films. Tarantino’s films changed that.
“All I’ve ever needed since I more or less retired from studio films a couple of decades ago … is just to be in one,” Carradine told The Associated Press in 2004.
“There isn’t anything that Anthony Hopkins or Clint Eastwood or Sean Connery or any of those old guys are doing that I couldn’t do,” he said. “All that was ever required was somebody with Quentin’s courage to take and put me in the spotlight.”
One thing remained a constant after “Kung Fu”: Carradine’s interest in Asian herbs, exercise and philosophy. He wrote a personal memoir called “Spirit of Shaolin” and continued to make instructional videos on tai chi and other martial arts.
In the 2004 interview, Carradine talked candidly about his past boozing and narcotics use, but said he had put all that behind him and stuck to coffee and cigarettes.
“I didn’t like the way I looked, for one thing. You’re kind of out of control emotionally when you drink that much. I was quicker to anger.”
“You’re probably witnessing the last time I will ever answer those questions,” Carradine said. “Because this is a regeneration. It is a renaissance. It is the start of a new career for me.
“It’s time to do nothing but look forward.”

The Conjuring “A Rhode Island Family’s Nightmare”
“The story was inspired by paranormal events which centers on the true-life Perron family, who claimed that they lived with both friendly and sinister spirits in their Rhode Island farmhouse.
The events were investigated by Ed & Loraine Warren who helped the home’s owners, the Perron family
The movie “The Conjuring” has begun filming in Wilmington. The production is building an exact replica of the Perron family home on sound stages for filming and has allocated an estimated $13,000,000.00 budget.

Cast of ‘The Conjuring’ enjoys time in area
By Cassie Foss Cassie.Foss@StarNewsOnline.com
In “The conjuring,” actors and actresses play such characters as demonologists and psychic investigators who encounter the most horrific case of their career – the haunting of a family in their Rhode Island home.
In real life, cast members’ experiences shooting the film in Wilmington was way less terrifying.
For Patrick Wilson, who plays a leading role in the production, returning to North Carolina was a homecoming of sorts.
“It’s been great. I love it. I really do,” Wilson said in March. “I’ve never been to Wilmington, but I lived in Charlotte as a kid, and I’ve got family outside of Rock Hill, so North Carolina’s always been pretty special to me. I used to camp every summer in Asheville out by Black Mountain for years.”
The actor (“The Switch,” “Watchmen”) and dad enlisted his family and participated in local events, such as Wrightsville Beach’s Quintiles marathon, to make the area feel more like home.
“It’s been nice down here,” he said. “I’ve got a place out at the beach. My family’s down here.”
Wilson wasn’t the only one to hunker down in the area.
Feature film “The Conjuring,” New Line’s supernatural thriller formerly known as “The Conjuring,” kicked off production at EUE/Screen Gems Studios in early January and is not expected to wrap until April 26. The film is set for a 2013 release, according to IMDB.com.
The movie, directed by James Wan and written by Chad and Carey Hayes (“House of Wax”), is based on the real-life experiences of couple Ed and Lorraine Warren, who worked as psychic investigators during the 1970s.
Wilson, who played Ed Warren, was joined by Vera Farmiga (“Up in the Air”) who played Lorraine.
The couple claimed to have investigated more than 10,000 hauntings during their careers. They also founded the New England Society for Psychic Research and the Occult Museum, both in Connecticut.
In the film, the investigators come to the aid of the Perron couple, played by Ron Livingston (“Office Space”) and Lili Taylor (“High Fidelity”), and their children.
The movie, which had an estimated budget of $13 million, shot at various locations in the area including the Carolina Apartments, the Carolinian Inn and the University of North Carolina Wilmington, according to City of Wilmington filming permits.
At the campus shoot, about 300 extras in ’70s garb gathered around muscle cars in a parking lot while the production filmed exterior scenes.
Lorraine Warren also was on set, and sat with a crowd as the crew shot scenes inside Cameron Hall not far from where Taylor filmed scenes of a lecture with extras.
But it hasn’t been all work.
Cast members Shannon Kook-Chun (“Degrassi”), who plays the Warrens’ assistant, Shanley Caswell (“Detention”), Hayley McFarland, Joey King and Mackenzie Foy arrived in the area in February and visited such sites as Fort Caswell, the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher and the Battleship North Carolina Memorial, according to cast members’ Twitter pages.
As filming began to wind down, Caswell and others flocked to the web to share their thoughts on the production.
“That’s a wrap for Andrea on the Conjuring!” Caswell posted on Twitter. “Great cast and crew. Felt more like a vacation then work! Can’t wait until next movie here.”

Hey Brandon,Stage Fright Stephanie
Every year, our school puts on a huge spring production with acting, singing, and dancing. All of my friends told me that I’m super talented, so I tried out and got the lead part.
I’ve never performed in front of an audience before but I figured, how hard could it be, right? WRONG!!!
During dress rehearsals I got super scared, totally forgot my lines, screwed up the dance, and now everyone is saying I’m going to choke and ruin the show. I’m really afraid and don’t know what to do. HELP!
Dear Stage Fright Stephanie,
I’m sorry to hear about your dress rehearsal. I can see why that would kind of freak you out.
It’s hard enough to feel like you messed up without everyone predicting total failure.
But that’s the thing – they’re making predictions. Unless they’re carrying crystal balls in their backpacks, they don’t actually know the future. Nobody does!
Just because you forgot your lines and choreography during dress rehearsal, that doesn’t mean the same thing will happen on opening night.
Remember what your friends told you before: you’re super talented! It’s just that this is new to you.
And that’s what dress rehearsals are for. They give you a chance to practice so you can get used to doing the show in costume.
What you really need now is to get your confidence back – then you’ll feel pumped instead of scared.
Maybe you could run lines and practice the dances in front of your family and a few of your friends. That way, you’ll get used to performing in front of an audience. And because they’re your friends and family, they’ll remind you that you’re awesome –and that you got this.
Then, before the show, you should do something to help yourself relax.
Before I went onstage to drum with my band, “Actually, I’m Not Really Sure Yet,” I did some jumping jacks to get rid of my nervous energy. Then, I took a few deep breaths while stretching so my heart wouldn’t feel like a jackhammer trying to break through my chest.
I probably looked like a total weirdo, but so what? After that, I nailed it!
If you don’t let the mean kids get inside your head, I’m sure you’ll nail it too. And if you don’t, try not to sweat it. I’ve bombed a couple times, but I always have fun with my friends, and that’s the most important thing.
I hope this helps!
