    Hallmark Collection 20000 Leagues Under The Sea In 1867, Professor Aronnax (Richard Crenna), renowned marine biologist, is summoned by the Navy to identify the mysterious sea creature that disabled the steamship Scotia in die North Atlantic. He agrees to undertake an expedition. His daughter, Sophie (Julie Cox), also a brilliant marine biologist, disguised as a man, comes as her father's assistant. On ship, she becomes smitten with harpoonist Ned Land (Paul Gross). At night, the shimmering green sea beast is spotted. When Ned tries to spear it, the monster rams their ship. Aronnax, Sophie and Ned are thrown overboard. Floundering, they cling to a huge hull which rises from the deeps. The "sea beast" is a sleek futuristic submarine, commanded by Captain Nemo. He invites them aboard, but warns if they enter the Nautilus, they will not be free to leave. The submarine is a marvel of technology, with electricity harnessed for use on board. Nemo provides his guests diving suits equipped with oxygen for exploration of die dazzling undersea world. Aronnax learns Nemo was destined to be the king to lead his people into the modern scientific world, but was forced from his land by enemies. Now, he is hoping to halt shipping between the United States and Europe as a way of regaining his throne. Ned makes several escape attempts, but Sophie and her father find the opportunities for scientific study too great to leave. Sophie rejects Nemo's marriage proposal calling him selfish. He shows his generosity, revealing gold bars he will drop near his former country for pearl divers to find and use to help the unfortunate.

Accidents, chance, fate and the elusive quest to make sense out of tragedy underpin director Jennifer Baichwal’s (Manufactured Landscapes) captivating new work, an elegant cinematic meditation on the metaphysical effects of being struck by lightning. To explore these profound questions, Baichwal sought out riveting personal stories from around the world—from a former CIA assassin and a French storm chas- er, to writer Paul Auster and improvisational musician Fred Frith. The philosophical anchor of the film, Auster was caught in a terrifying and deadly storm as a teenager, and it has deeply affected both his life and art: “It opened up a whole realm of speculation that I’ve continued to live with ever since.” In his doctor brother’s laboratory, Frith experiments with his guitar to demonstrate the ubiquity of electricity in our bodies and the universe. Visually dazzling and aurally seductive, Act of God singularly captures the harsh beauty of the skies and the lives of those who have been forever touched by their fury. DIRECTOR’S NOTES I studied philosophy and theology before turning to documentary and, in some ways, the questions I was drawn to then are the ones I still grapple with now, although in a different context. Two of these, which specifically inform this film, are the relationship between meaning and randomness and the classical problem of evil.

By focusing on the labour and craft practices that coalesced in Toronto’s postproduction companies, I argue that such practices engendered a critical shift in the sonic style of Canadian film sound.

  • Analyze This
    Analyze This Dir: Harold Ramis, USA, 1999 A review by George Larke, University of Sunderland It's parody time again for the gangster genre. Just in case we were tempted into taking the films too seriously, we are reminded that the cinematic gangster and his surroundings are essentially cliché forms. Analyze This, directed by Harold Ramis and starring Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal, takes the post-classical fashion of masculine angst popular in the gangster film from The Godfather (1972) to Donnie Brasco (1995) and mercilessly laughs at it. Ramis, who previously directed another comedy success, Groundhog Day (1993), wrote the script along with Peter Tolan and Kenneth Lonergan. At first glance, the film invites comparison to another gangster parody, Mad Dog and Glory (1993) wherein De Niro played against type, as the "nobody" schmuck, while Bill Murray played the mobster. That film did not work very well. De Niro cannot play the schmuck opposite a comedy gangster it stretches imagination and parody too far. For Analyze This, switching the roles and replacing Murray with Billy Crystal has produced a more fitting character balance. Mob boss, Paul Vitti (De Niro), is suffering from a severe case of "work-related stress". The biggest meeting of New York crime bosses since the Appalachian gathering of 1957 is imminent. He's just witnessed the assassination of one of his best friends and certain associates are suggesting he was involved in ordering it. The panic attacks are getting worse and it's affecting his work in a set-piece interrogation and assassination scene he cannot pull the trigger, much to his henchman's and, more pointedly, the victim's disgust.
