Not only has he been asked to coach a group of non-basketball players in his church, but the bishop has demanded that he lead the team to the Basketball Championship. Word from the “top” is this is the last season of church ball and Bishop Linderman isn’t about to have his team lose for the 20th year in a row in the last season of church ball history! What was supposed to strengthen the body, invigorate the mind and cultivate brotherly love seems to bring out the worst in these church-going ball players. Dennis must find a way to bring his team together and build unity along the way to win the championship or go down in church ball history as the worst team that ever played. Summary It’s the last season of church ball and Dennis Buckstead (ANDREW WILSON) has been asked by Bishop Linderman (FRED WILLARD) to lead a group of uncoordinated misfits to the Church Basketball Championships. For the last twenty years the competitive Bishop Linderman, who was suspended from coaching twenty years ago for violent behavior, has watched the Mud Lake team fail to make the Church Basketball Tournament. And now word from the “top” is that church ball will be cancelled, making this season Bishop Linderman’s last chance to see Mud Lake redeem itself. According to church headquarters, church ball has run off course; what was supposed to strengthen the body, invigorate the mind and cultivate brotherly love brings out the worst in these church-going ball players. But despite its bad reputation, Dennis is determined to magnify his calling and build a championship-winning team. To work with, he’s got the nerdy church clerk Gene (CLINT HOWARD), small-in-stature Charles Higgins (GARY COLEMAN), rebellious bad-mouth Mickey (ROSS BROCKLEY), donut eating Don Weaver (CHAD LONG), weak-hearted church janitor, Thurman (STEVE ANDERSON), and European football-loving foreigner Nader (SINA AMEDSON). This is hardly a championship-bound group. But in all hopeless situations there is a silver lining. And that silver lining is Moses Mahoney (THURL BAILEY), a seven-foot giant who teaches basketball to troubled kids downtown. Unfortunately for Dennis, this silver lining has a conscience; Moses declines any interest in playing ball with Mud Lake because he doesn’t feel Dennis’ intentions are right. So then Dennis focuses on “friend-shipping” the tall and burly Jeremiah Jones (STAN ELLSWORTH), a possible savior for the Mud Lake team who won’t play because of bad past experiences with church ball. Dennis just wants a winning team – is that too much to ask! Not even the Bishop’s supposedly “divinely-inspired” book of basketball plays seem to be working. His moves, with names like “Red-headed step child” and “Gob Stopper,” seem to promote only more violence. And though most of Dennis’s players are more interested in starting brawls than playing ball, Dennis manages to start building team unity through community service and practice. In what is nothing short of divine intervention, Dennis turns a team of oddballs into a team of players. And along the way he mends relationships, creates friends and makes it to the Church Basketball Tournament. The only thing that stands in their way is the Crystal Hills team , featuring The Bracken brothers (CURT DOUSETT and LARRY BAGBY), the always conceited, always victorious lawyers. The last game of church ball is set to be the most important and potentially biggest brawl in church basketball history – winner takes all. And in Church Ball, it isn’t how you play the game . it’s whether you win or lose.

    THESIS A REASON TO BELIEVE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF MORMON MISSIONARY FILMS Submitted by Sky L. Anderson Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2012 Master’s Committee Advisor: Carl Burgchardt Eric Aoki Kathleen Kiefer ABSTRACT A REASON TO BELIEVE: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF MORMON MISSIONARY FILMS In this analysis, I examine Mormon cinema and how it functions on a rhetorical level. I specifically focus on missionary films, or movies that are framed by LDS missionary narratives. Through an analysis of two LDS missionary films, namely Richard Dutcher’s God’s Army (2000) and Mitch Davis’ The Other Side of Heaven (2001), I uncover two rhetorical approaches to fostering spirituality. In my first analysis, I argue that God’s Army presents two pathways to spirituality: one which produces positive consequences for the characters, and the other which produces negative consequences. I call these pathways, respectively, ascending and descending spirituality, and I explore the rhetorical implications of this framing. In my second analysis, I contend that The Other Side of Heaven creates a rhetorical space wherein the audience may transform. Specifically, the film constructs a “Zion,” or a heaven on earth, with three necessary components, which coincide perfectly with established LDS teachings: God, people, and place. These three elements invite the audience to accept that they are imperfect, yet they can improve if they so desire. Ultimately, by comparing my findings from both films, I argue that the films’ rhetorical strategies are well constructed to potentially reinforce beliefs for Mormon audiences, and they also may invite non-Mormons to think more positively about LDS teachings.

In the Name of the King 3: The Last Mission Acknowledgments About the Author INTRODUCTION Video games have come a long way, baby. What started as an interactive abstract take on ping pong has morphed into a multi-billion dollar a year industry. When certain video game franchises started making oodles and oodles of money, Hollywood came a knockin' to adapt these beloved properties for the silver screen. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Resident Evil notwithstanding, audiences didn't flock to the cinema to watch their interactive favorites writ large. However, they sell pretty well on DVD and Blu-ray and tend to be made on a meager budget. Thus, video game movies continue to be released. No director has made more live-action video game feature films than Uwe Boll. Holding a PhD in Literature from The University of Siegen, Dr. Boll has shot nearly a dozen of these pictures. It should be noted his full filmography is quite varied and not just limited to video game adaptations; his other movies are often dramas with political elements and shall be covered in two more forthcoming volumes: The Films of Uwe Boll Vol.

  • Writer-Director Richard Dutcher, Unquestionably the Dominant Personality in the Past Decade of Mormon Cinema, on Location with A
    Writer-director Richard Dutcher, unquestionably the dominant personality in the past decade of Mormon cinema, on location with actors Jo-Sei Ikeda and Ignacio Serricchio for his film States of Grace (2005). Dutcher—who has worked as writer, actor, producer, director, and now editor—is credited with launching a new wave of Mormon film with his breakthrough production God’s Army in 2000, which not only set the stage for multiple theatrical releases of Mormon-themed pictures, but also sought to increase their realism and dramatic depth beyond the limited depic- tions of Mormons in Hollywood films or, conversely, institutional productions in the style of Judge Whitaker. © Main Street Movie Co. A History of Mormon Cinema: Fifth Wave V 127 The Fifth Wave: Cultural and Commercial Viability (2000–Present) The Fifth Wave of Mormon cinema is the current period, in which a culturally robust and commercially vibrant new art form is beginning to emerge. Its most obvious manifestation is in the stream of Mormon- themed theatrical feature films, produced independently of the Church, made by and for Latter-day Saints. Richard Dutcher’s much-celebrated God’s Army, released in March 2000, made him widely recognized as the father of this new movement in Mormon film, but his groundbreaking work actually marks a return to the past. The LDS filmmakers of the First Wave also sought to create 35mm films to be distributed through commer- cial theaters to a paying public. Mormon film has in many ways come full circle, with Latter-day Saints of the Fifth Wave attempting large theatrical productions at a time when anti-Mormon films are once again more vis- ible in the mainstream.

  • The Sexual Stereotyping of Mormon Men in American Film and Television
    “ACCORDING TO THEIR WILLS AND PLEASU RES”: THE SEXUAL STEREOTYPING OF MORMON MEN IN AMERICAN FILM AND TELEVISION Travis Sutton, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2009 APPROVED: Harry M. Benshoff, Major Professor Sandra Larke-Walsh, Committee Member Claire Sahlin, Committee Member Sam Sauls, Program Coordinator Melinda Levin, Chair of the Department of Radio, Television and Film Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Sutton, Travis, “According to Their Wills and Pleasures”: The Sexual Stereotyping of Mormon Men in American Film and Television. Master of Arts (Radio, Television and Film), May 2009, 187 pp., references, 107 titles. This thesis examines the representation of Mormon men in American film and television, with particular regard for sexual identity and the cultural association of Mormonism with sexuality. The history of Mormonism’s unique marital practices and doctrinal approaches to gender and sexuality have developed three common stereotypes for Mormon male characters: the purposeful heterosexual, the monstrous polygamist, and the self-destructive homosexual. Depending upon the sexual stereotype in the narrative, the Mormon Church can function as a proponent for nineteenth-century views of sexuality, a symbol for society’s repressed sexuality, or a metaphor for the oppressive effects of performing gender and sexuality according to ideological constraints. These ideas are presented in Mormon films such as Saturday’s Warrior (1989) as well as mainstream films such as A Mormon Maid (1917) and Advise and Consent (1962).

  • CALIFORNIA's RIGHT of REMOVAL: Recall Politics in the Modern
    CALIFORNIA’S RIGHT OF REMOVAL: Recall Politics in the Modern Era DAVID L. SCHECTER, PHD Department of Political Science California State University, Fresno ABSTRACT This article compares the first gubernatorial recall of 1921 with the second such recall of 2003. North Dakota Governor Lynn J. Frazier had always been a footnote in history with his removal from office over 80 years ago, but much can be learned by systematically comparing the first recall campaign with the whirlwind campaign sur- rounding the demise of California Governor Gray Davis and the rise of political neo- phyte Arnold Schwarzenegger. An initial review of the Progressive period is given, followed by an in-depth analysis of America’s first recall, which occurred in the City of Los Angeles in 1903. The article then moves through a detailed discussion of the 1921 campaign to oust Frazier. This first recall is then compared and contrasted with the 2003 California governor’s race. The article concludes with a theoretical discussion of the power of the recall provision and how it may be applied to senior executives in California and elsewhere in the future. This “right of removal” has been both a threat to gubernatorial power and a tool for citizen activism. Imagine a political race where a recently reelected governor faces a tremendous state- wide budget crisis, a well-organized and financially strong opposition, and plunging sup- port from a cynical and frustrated electorate. Adding to this incumbent’s problems, the state is one of only a handful with a rarely used recall provision in its Constitution that some opponents, still bitter from the last race the previous November, plan to exploit.
