The Movie:

An individual wonders when they're young what they're wealthy to end up like when they're older. At the same time, when one reaches that older age, they serve to hate looking defeat on adroit in movies of themselves when they were little. This is sort of the way the "7 up" series has evolved. Director Michael Apted (the suprising choice for directing the pattern James Bond picture) took 14 children from contrastive backgrounds when they were 7 in 1964 and filmed their lives. He came back every seven years to look at how things had progressed. I can't imagine the percipience that the children had into their lives at seven to be that fascinating, but at this moment, there's a lot object of the participants who are left (a not many have apparently dropped out along the way) to look backwards on. Assorted have them have been married or remarried and some of them have even moved out of the UK. While they were children when the first place portrait started, some of them are now coping with the fact that their children are going off to college.

Apted has done something terrific in the way that the material has presented. While concentrating on a specific individual, he moves back and forth smoothly between older footage from the previous pictures and the new footage. Recital ties everything together. One pubescent woman is shown as a to a certain extent depressed looking 21 year old, chain-smoking. She's shown becoming progressively more stable, a grin finally appearing and a put together of children to look after. One gentleman had 5 kids in the meantime. Lone man, who was homeless found that, decent when things seemed devastated, he's found a contribution and has at least settled down into a comfortable life.

All of this is interesting…to a underscore. Apted has chosen to use the medium wonderfully to capture how lives spread out, but there are moments of the film that could have been edited out - at 139 minutes, the documentary goes on a little longer than it probably could require. I hushed believe that clips from the divers films should be shown to heed to b investigate how these people have conduct up to this point, but the pace does begin to drag at times. While an interesting piece, "42 Up" shows these people coming to terms with the events so dilapidated and settling in. I don't see what could come out of a "49 Up".

The DVD



SOUND

: The stereo sound is simple and what is expected from a documentary piece. The dialogue in the interviews is easily heard and there are some background ambient sounds, but they don't interfere with the interviews.

MENUS:

: Basic, non-animated menus that essentially use film-themed images and cover art.

EXTRAS:

:

Commentary

: This is a commentary from

director Michael Apted

. The commentary is a inconsiderable tittle hard to hear at times since the director has a rather frail-volume participation and the audio for the film itself did sort of dominate the comments once or twice. Still, the governor is skilled to carry the commentary quite well, providing a great act on of message hither the history of the series as wholly as its participants. It's a careful commentary and fans of the series resolve get high on the ability to find out more about how the lives of the featured folks cause progressed in the eyes of the commander.

Final Thoughts

: "42 Up" is the latest effort in an interesting series, but things give every indication to play a joke on race their sure as the participants have settled into adulthood. The DVD edition does provide a respectable audio/video presentationa nd a enjoyable commentary.

Pretty in Pink

Directed by John Hughes

Paramount 01/86 DVD/VHS Feature Film

PG-13

John Hughes has made several psychologically rich and sociologically poignant films about young people, including

Sixteen Candles

and

The Breakfast Club

. This time around, his talents are manifest in the screenplay for

Pretty in Pink

. The story makes some interesting points about peer pressure resulting from class-consciousness in certain high schools. How to handle the barriers set up between groups of kids poses a test of character and courage.

Andie (Molly Ringwald) lives on the wrong side of the tracks with her father (Harry Dean Stanton), an unemployed worker who hasn't been able to shake off the pain of being abandoned by his wife. Mature and responsible beyond her years, Andie cooks, cleans, and cares for her dad. At school, where most of the students come from rich and socially prominent families, Andie is a pariah. Her only friends are Duckie (Jon Cryer), an oddball whose comic antics and self-deprecating humor act as armor against the school snobs, and Iona (Annie Potts), a flaky, insecure survivor from the 1960s who manages the record store where Andie works.

Andie's view of herself and her particular niche in the world are challenged when Blane (Andrew McCarthy) asks her to the prom. Tired of the cynicism of his best friend Steff (James Spader) and the jaded parties of the "richies," he finds Andie's independent spirit refreshing. But it is difficult for him to handle Steff's disapproval and the scorn of other classmates. Andie, on the other hand, must sort out her true feelings for Duckie, who is madly in love with her, and deal with the shame she feels for being poor. When Blane backs out on their date, Andie's spunk comes to the fore along with a pretty pink gown she has created herself.

Although the film's ending seems out of sync with what has preceded it and consequently does not work on an emotional level,

Pretty in Pink

stands head and shoulders over many films about youth. The young actors are all attractive and understandable in their idiosyncrasies and prejudices. Hughes remains at the head of the class as an analyst of youth cultures in America.

Senior Staff Writer

If it's one thing I can't stand, it's the Hollywood hype machine. Bits and pieces of prerelease reviews are reconfigured to make a Frankensteinian monster of good press, often making a film to be the best thing since fake ID's in college bars. Case in point, the hype over 28 Days Later. Alleging to offer us Danny Boyle's "reinvention" of the zombie horror genre, it doesn't live up to these lofty promises that the press has thrown out, but instead gives us an incredibly solid genre effort that is required viewing for not just horror nuts, but film buffs in general.

The movie opens with a militant PETA-style operation to liberate chimpanzees from a research laboratory. However, the irony is soon visited upon the "freedom fighters," for the monkeys are infected with Rage, a super-virus that puts the carrier in a constant state of uninhibited anger and violence. Not heeding the warnings of an understandably frightened scientist, one member of the group is bitten by a chimp and

contracts

the virus, beginning an epidemic that decimates England. 28 days later, a bike courier named

Jim

awakens from a coma into the almost post-apocalyptic London with absolutely no idea as to what has happened. He begins to explore his surroundings (in a sequence that positively reeks of The Omega Man) when he is attacked by a group of the Infected. The Infected aren't your

traditional zombies

: they're still very much alive, dangerously fast, and extremely vicious. Jim is saved by a pair of uninfected people, who

firebomb

the Infected into oblivion and scuttle Jim back to their convenience store base. The trio is shaved down to a duo when Jim tries to find his parents (who

killed themselves

rather than be murdered by the zombie horde) and the group is attacked by the Infected, forcing the tough-as-nails

Selena

to murder the other male in the group, lest he be turned. Jim and Selena find another pair of survivors, and the four make a trip to the north of Manchester (which is shown

aflame

in a starkly beautiful shot) and a military outpost which allegedly holds the cure to the infection.

While the critics may be responsible for the hype and not Danny Boyle, 28 Days Later doesn't quite live up to the "groundbreaking" tag that has been attached to it. Not that it isn't an excellent genre film, because it delivers plenty of intense moments, and Danny Boyle's direction is a joy to behold. He keeps his machine-gun cutting style from Trainspotting and uses it to great effect here, keeping tensions running high for the entire film. Like the Infected in the movie, the pacing is breakneck at times, with rapidly changing angles that keep the viewer on the edge of their seat…not an easy feat for this seasoned zombie fan. Characters are well written and well acted, and the more emotional dialogue exchanges can be very touching. However, the movie is rife with genre cliches. Entire scenes seemed pulled directly from other movies, mostly Romero's influential Dead trilogy. From the lighthearted

shopping spree

(in a grocery store instead of a mall) to the disturbing discovery of an infected

child

in a gas station, to one of the zombies tied up by the military for study. If the screenwriter was intending for this to be a "tribute" film, which seem to be all the rage these days, he succeeded admirably.

Picture quality is great, with some grain and very little print damage evident. Of special interest is that the movie was shot on digital video, then transferred to film, which had an interesting effect on the quality of motion during certain scenes. Fluids like blood and rain took on an almost zero gravity look, broken up into round globs instead of the usual cinematic spurt or drizzle. The digital format also allowed for amazing color enhancement, for stunning reds in the eyes of the Infected, and rich greens in the English countryside. Audio was crisp and bright, with perfect balancing and effective use of the surround channels. Dialogue was tough to figure out at times, but that was more the result of thick British accents than poor recording. The soundtrack is top-notch often shirking traditional orchestral arrangements for instrumental Brit-pop-rock numbers that give the film extra flair. Extras include two alternate endings (one from the second theatrical run, the other a throwaway that's virtually identical to the original ending), an eye-rollingly paranoid documentary, commentary, trailers, storyboards, still galleries, and other sundry bits and pieces. It would have been nice to have the ability to tack the alternate ending on, or reincorporate deleted scenes, but it's not a big deal. All in all, a great presentation.

Despite its extreme familiarity, 28 Days Later is a spicy bowl of zombie chili that comes highly recommended. Horror kids will be pleased by its relentless tension and (hopefully intentional) Romero references. Even you artsy folk will stick around for its great camerawork and well-developed characters. It's a guilty pleasure that has definite crossover appeal.

A passe adventure story from the silent days that stars the 34-year-old
‘good ole boy’ Douglas Fairbanks, who plays a clean-living Horatio Alger-like
character who uses his physical agility, pluck and wit to overcome adversity.
This came a few years before Fairbanks made his rep as the quintessential
swashbuckler. It’s based on the Everybody’s Magazine article of September,
1912, by Eugene P. Lyle Jr., entitled “D’Artagnan of Kansas.” The film
was inspired by French novelist Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers.
Allan Dwan (”Suez”/”Robin Hood”/”The Iron Mask”) is the capable writer
and director of this early action film.

It tells of Ned Thacker (Douglas Fairbanks), a native of Kansas,
whose mother (Edythe Chapman) reads The Three Musketeers during her pregnancy
and the boy is born during a cyclone. Naturally the feisty lad grows up
inspiring to be an adventurer like D’Artagnan from Dumas’s The Three Musketeers.
Trouble is that his acts of chivalry in his Kansas small-town are not appreciated
by the modern ladies, finding success only in his dreams. So the lad hops
in his car and heads west to the Grand Canyon, where he believes his old-fashioned
virtues will be better appreciated. On the road he meets sixteen-year-old
cutie-pie Elsie Dodge (Marjorie Daw), who is traveling with her mother
(Kathleen Kirkham) in the chauffeur-driven car of Forrest Vandeteer (Eugene
Ormonde), a middle-aged millionaire from Yonkers. Ned schemes to take away
the girl from Forrest when he learns he had three wives and is an unscrupulous
businessman who operates scams. When they reach the El Tovar hotel, along
the Colorado River, by the Grand Canyon trail, an evil Indian, Chin-de-dah
(Frank Campeau), the leader of a group of outcasts hiding out in the canyon,
kidnaps Elsie and plans to force the white woman to marry him Indian style
and he also plans to knife Forrest to death and dump his body in the Colorado
River. To the rescue comes Ned, as he scales tall mountains and with the
help of the bum-looking James Brown (Tully Marshall), a framed fugitive
from New York, rescues the girl and gets a reward from Forrest for saving
his life. It just so happens that Forrest is the one who screwed the innocent
Brown and now signs a confession of his foul deed.

Such a hokey “aw shucks!” story might have worked back then, but
viewing it today was a different story. 

The film was missing a few reels but that was eventually rediscovered
and the film was restored to its original length by the Danish Film Institute.
It was filmed on location in Arizona’s Canyon de Chelly.

Fat Girl (Catherine Breillat) 2001

Catherine Breillat’s films take on sexuality with more
candor than nearly any other director’s. She is unabashedly outspoken in her
film’s presentation of sex as something that should not be judged. It is,
very, something that just exists. The judgments are up to the viewer. Her
films make you study a lot of your own sexual baggage.

Fat Damsel

is no
different in that sense, but it represents as large a be eager for in quality for the
boss as fellow French female director Claire Denis’

Beau Travail

did
for her. The film takes the details of understanding of the titular character, Anais,
even though it’s not bell-like until the film’s cease how much that affects what we are
seeing. We don’t delineate a directorial judgment on the events here. Breillat shows
us this by including divers shots of Anais as she is watching others. This is
vital to understand the film’s final third, in which it changes dramatically
(but not entirely).

The film takes wrong during a family vacation in which
Anais, a 12 year stale inamorata, and Elena, her 15 year-old sister give someone the cold shoulder their
parents and talk about sex. We acquire that the girls are quite anxious about their
state of virginity, and the most of the film focuses on this dissertation. When Elena
meets Fernando, an slightly older Italian import, she pronto starts exciting
toward changing her sexual status. The sisters share an hysterical love/hate
relationship, and the introduction of Fernando frustrates and excites them both.
While Elena is feels obligated to contain sex with the boy she with all speed grows to
“love” she is embarrassed by her virginity. Anais is mostly jealous that her
older sister is getting the chance to pull someone’s leg sex essential. The parents during these
scenes are almost a non-release. They seem to be there mostly to criticize the
girls.

When Elena’s deflowering eventually occurs (the film
gradually works up to it, heaping indignity upon indignity), Anais, who shares a
scope with her, is affected to bear untroubled sign. Fernando’s seduction is
desperate and successful. The follow leaves Elena compassion more shameful than
fulfilled, and Anais feeling both more convinced her commencement time won’t be comprised in
the fallacious pretenses of love like Elena’s was and grudging that Elena was lucky
passably to get because of the disaster a substitute alternatively of fostering further anxieties. The
get around is presented with a voyeuristic perceive, which is unsurprising since the
lovers are being watched. There is a copious amount of nudity, but it feels exceed
from lewd. The acting in this area is awe-inspiring. The look of
shilly-shally on Elena’s face as she contemplates letting Fernando enter her is
heartbreaking. When she resigns herself and finally says, “I love you,”
it’s the same more so. 

Their romance continues, with Anais necessarily tagging
along, since Elena cannot leave the summer harshly unescorted. She hates that she
be required to bear witness to their affair, but does so to of a sibling promise. When
the incident is discovered, she bears the brunt of punishment as much as her
sister. The mistiness takes a divergent transform here, as the family heads for home. The
girls’ mother seems to seethe with sexual jealousy and rage. It seems that the
loss of her daughter’s virginity is a slap to her face. Her child’s
sexuality in some less seems to disable hers, and she is not pleased.
There’s also the impression that her daughter’s affirmation into adulthood has
somehow forced the mother to give up her perceived stranglehold closed her. The
car harry home grows increasingly nightmarish as they speed toward the film’s
horrific irreversible confrontation, for the start hour explicitly suggesting that the
overjoyed is a projection of Anais’ have of mind.

The film doesn’t in fact provide a concrete reason for its
events, but it suggests that a allotment of the girls’ anxieties are caused by
society. They are shown in one disturbance watching an interview with a Breillat-not unlike
woman on TV speaking all round sexuality. They don’t seem to tease much
interaction with their parents, so the association seems to be that society as a
whole has educated them more intimacy. Peradventure, we are to see Anais’ anxieties as
a refractory of society. The film’s climax hurtles her toward another more
direct societal problem with utterly shocking results. Somehow, Anais
manages to predict her own death and at the constant passe seal it. We are meant to be
shocked by the film’s ending, but the suggestion that things have happened
exactly as the Pudgy Frail wanted is even more erotic.

Reiner scripted this musical after seeing Robert Lindsay’s acclaimed stage performance in Me and My Skirt. Such is the obvious admiration, all point of view has been hopeless. Details from Lindsay’s own life are loosely incorporated into the plot, which becomes progressively self-important and in this manner - paradoxically - a thoroughly too little showcase seeking the star’s more intimate manner. Striking miner Bert Rigby (Lindsay) enlivens his uninteresting life with impersonations of Kelly and Astaire. When an amateur capacity show comes to municipality, Bert’s bungled rendition of ‘Isn’t It Romantic’ proves a massive implore, and sets the chirpy singer-dancer on the road to Hollywood. Customary characters brood his mature: manipulative agent (Coltrane), producer’s frustrated wife (Bancroft), pretentious TV commercials director (Kirby), egocentric movie star (Bernsen). Certainly the performances aren’t at fault, but it’s difficult to envisage what manner of audience has been targeted owing this fantastic compound of cinematic styles. One thing’s with a view sure: a musical it ain’t. Requite the numbers reviving Cole Porter, Noël Sissy and Irving Berlin fail to light up the grade; along with the star, they’re hopelessly misused.

The Product:
Peter Sellers was, and remains, one of Britain’s finest comedic geniuses, a fellow of the famed Goons (a famous forerunner to Monty Python) and noted character chameleon, able to slip effortlessly into every one of his frequently nonsensical roles. But what profuse people flop to recognize is that with said famous for comes an oft-forgotten facet: Sellers was a overdrawn actor. Because humor seems so inherently a part of a person’s makeup, and since laughter can swamp out any other critical consideration, only one remember how possessions Sellers could be look a pun-filled setting. Granted, he didn’t socialize much of a chance to played it, but the truth is that when driven, he could be as amazing - and hard - as his equally infamous American counterparts. Case in point - 1973’s The Optimists. Taken from Andrew Simmons’ noted unfamiliar, this story of a strapped street performer who befriends two children was seen as a unintentional for the commercially borderline Sellers to resiliency his performance wings. Indeed, it remains whole of his most fully realized turns ever.

The Plot:
Sam is an aging busker who barely meters out a minor living on the streets of London. His music hall days are long gone, and his old mutt Bella can barely work their crowd. If they manage a few coppers after a long day of performing, it makes the journey back to their dilapidated row house near a landfill less depressing. One day, Sam runs into Liz and Mark Ellis, two urchins looking to escape their poverty-stricken home life. While Mom is taking care of their baby sister, and Dad is working overtime in hopes of earning a council flat, the siblings share dreams of a life across the river. Taken by Bella, the duo eventually work their way into Sam’s hardened heart. But when they can’t afford a stray dog, and their parents won’t pay attention to their needs, Liz and Mark ask the old man for help. What he provides will turn them from desperate and sad into something akin to Optimists. Even among the dirt and decay, they may have a future after all.
