  • See It Big! Action Features More Than 30 Action Movie Favorites on the Big
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

  • Independence Day: Resurgence
    INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE (2016) ● Rated PG ­ 13 for sequences of sci ­ fi action and destruction, and for some language ● $165,000,000 budget ● 2 hrs ● Directed by Roland Emmerich ​ ​ ● Produced by Lynn Harris, Matti Leshem, Douglas C. Merrifield ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● The film was produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures QUICK THOUGHTS ● Phil Svitek ● Marisa Serafini ● Demetri Panos ● Sara Stretton DEVELOPMENT ● The possibility of a sequel to Independence Day had long been discussed, and the film's ​ ​ producer and writer, Dean Devlin, once stated that the world's reaction to the September ​ ​ ​ 11 attacks influenced him to strongly consider making a sequel to the film ​ ● Soon after the success of the first film, 20th Century Fox paid Dean Devlin a large sum ​ ​ of money to write a script for a sequel. However, after completing the script, Devlin didn't turn in the script and instead gave the money back to the studio, as he felt the story didn't live up to the first film. It was only approximately 15 years later, that Devlin met up with Roland Emmerich to try again, having felt that they had "cracked" a story for a ​ ​ sequel ● Devlin began writing an outline for a script with Emmerich, but in May 2004, Emmerich said he and Devlin had attempted to "figure out a way how to continue the story", but that this ultimately did not work, and the pair abandoned the idea ● In October 2009, Emmerich said he once again had plans for a sequel, and had since considered the idea of making two sequels to form a trilogy ● On June 24, 2011, Devlin confirmed that he and Emmerich had found an idea for the sequels and had written a treatment for it ● In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's ​ ​ refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels ● Emmerich, however, made assurances that the films would be shot back­to­back, ​ ​ regardless of Smith's involvement ○ Resurgence filmmakers were reported to be preparing versions of the film both ​ with and without Will Smith.

  • Accion Mutante
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Salford Institutional Repository “Esto no es un juego, es Acción mutante”: The Provocations of Álex de la Iglesia Peter Buse Núria Triana-Toribio Andrew Willis University of Salford University of Manchester University of Salford Speaking at the Manchester Spanish Film Festival in 2000, Álex de la Iglesia professed that he was not really a film director. “I’m more of a barman”, he claimed, “I just make cocktails”. His films, he implied, were simply an elaborate montage of quotations from other directors, genres, and film-styles, a self-assessment well borne out by Acción mutante (1993), the de la Iglesias team’s1 first feature film, which promiscuously mixes science fiction and comedy, film noir and western, Almodóvar and Ridley Scott. Were such a claim, and its associated renunciation of auteur status, to issue from an American independent director, or even a relatively self-conscious Hollywood director, would it even raise an eyebrow, so eloquently does it express postmodern orthodoxy? And does it make any difference when it comes from a modern Spanish director? As a bravura cut- and-paste job, a frenetic exercise in filmic intertextuality, Acción mutante is highly accomplished, but it would be a mistake to praise or criticize it on the grounds of its postmodern sensibilities alone without taking into account the intervention it made into a specifically Spanish filmic context where, in the words of the title song “Esto no es un juego, es acción mutante”. AFTER THE LEY MIRÓ Álex de la Iglesia has defined his cinema in terms of what it is not.

Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I’m April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on. A writer, director, actor, or producer, and we talk—in depth—about one of their fave genre films. Perhaps one that’s influenced their own work in some small way. Today, you know, you may know that we are social distancing, so remote recording of course. Um, Chicken’s in the other room, so you might not hear her screaming. Um, the wild parrots are out, though. You may hear that flock passing by. Um, so sound is a little bit different in the studio than uh, it usually is. Everything else is pretty much the same, except for today, our guest is different. Our guest is writer-director Karen Maine. Hi, Karen! 00:00:49 Karen Guest Hi! Thanks for having me.

Symbolic Power and Religious Impotence in Paul Verhoeven's Spetters Abstract This article explores the religious symbolism in the Dutch film Spetters (1980), by controversial director Paul Verhoeven. An examination of the symbolic referents in the film, in particular the use of stereotypical male power symbols, shows how expectations of power dynamics are reversed in the lives of the main characters. The film's embedded message, played out in Verhoeven's later films, concerns the impotence of Christianity in the modern world. Questions concerning theodicy are not satisfactorily answered through traditional religious ideas. God, it seems, has abandoned the human race.

  • Hollywood's Dirtiest Secret
    Review: Hunter Vaughan, Hollywood’s Dirtiest Secret: The Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies Cassice Last https://doi.org/10.15664/fcj.v0i17.2056 Frames Cinema Journal ISSN 2053–8812 Issue 17 (Jun 2020) http://www.framescinemajournal.com Last, Cassice. “Review: Hunter Vaughan, Hollywood’s Dirtiest Secret: The Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies”, Frames Cinema Journal, Issue 17 (2020). Hollywood’s Dirtiest Secret: The Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies By Hunter Vaughan Columbia University Press, 2019 Reviewed by Cassice Last, University of St Andrews In Hollywood’s Dirtiest Secret: The Hidden Environmental Costs of the Movies (2019), Hunter Vaughan takes a vibrant and interdisciplinary look into the environmental impact of producing, advertising, watching, distributing, and buying films. Focusing predominantly on Hollywood, his investigation encompasses films such as Twister (Jan de Bont, 1996), Singin’ in the Rain (Gene Kelly and Stanley Donan, 1952), The Life of an American Fireman (Edwin S. Porter, 1903), and Avatar (James Cameron, 2009). Despite spending some time on textual analysis, and indeed he defends the validity of this method for examining Hollywood’s relation to the environment, his investigation goes beyond this through archival research, historical analyses, genre studies, and a foray into a relational-values approach. To justify his approach, he argues that the environmental discussion would benefit from a stronger communication between media studies, social sciences, and the humanities. Vaughan’s overall goal is to “attempt an accessible environmentalist study of popular films across Hollywood history”, considering “how films have both shaped and reflected – and continue to shape and reflect – our relationship with the nonhuman world” (5).
