But all of this isn't enough, as her husband Clay finds out. After she persuaded him to sell medicinal cocaine to some drugdealers, she takes off with the money, almost a million dollars, and goes undercover in a mid-American smalltown. Because Clay has to pay off a loan shark who'll otherwise damage him severely, he keeps sending detectives after her, trying to retrieve the money. When Bridget meets Mike Swale, a naive local who is blinded by her beauty and directness, she devises an elaborate, almost diabolical scheme to get rid of Clay once and for all.

User Reviews Almost great modern film noir 16 August 2003 | by preppy-3 – See all my reviews An incredibly amoral and very sexy woman (Linda Fiorentino) is on the lam from her husband (Bill Pullman) after stealing thousands of dollars from him. She travels to a small town and gets involved with a sweet, innocent man (Peter Berg)...but he's just her next victim. There's a lot more to it but I won't give it away. The plot is intricate with many twists and turns. The dialogue sounds like it came from a 1940s noir (updated with swearing) but this isn't anything like those movies. This movie has graphic sex scenes and incredibly cruel acts that they could never get away with back then. It also has good acting by Berg and Pullman (who is very obviously enjoying himself). There's also good direction by John Dahl and an excellent score by Joseph Vitarelli which totally fits the tone of the film. But it's Fiorentino's show all the way--she's on screen almost all the time and her performance is superb. She's sexy and evil and actually enjoys using people--notice how she laughs after a few evil acts. Too bad this film premiered on cable--if it were a theatrical film first she would have been up for Best Actress. Only two quibbles--at 110 minutes the nonstop evil and cruelty wears you down and I didn't buy a few things that happened at the climax. They seemed really unlikely and spoiled things a little. But those are minor complaints. This is a good, evil film noir--well worth catching. 34 of 45 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Aune August 2012 Major Subject: Communication iii ABSTRACT Crossdressing Cinema: An Analysis of Transgender Representation in Film. (August 2012) Jeremy Russell Miller, B.A., University of Arkansas; M.A., University of Arkansas Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Joshua Heuman Dr. Aisha Durham Transgender representations generally distance the transgender characters from the audience as objects of ridicule, fear, and sympathy. This distancing is accomplished through the use of specific narrative conventions and visual codes. In this dissertation, I analyze representations of transgender individuals in popular film comedies, thrillers, and independent dramas. Through a textual analysis of 24 films, I argue that the narrative conventions and visual codes of the films work to prevent identification or connection between the transgender characters and the audience. The purpose of this distancing is to privilege the heteronormative identities of the characters over their transgender identities. This dissertation is grounded in a cultural studies approach to representation as constitutive and constraining and a positional approach to gender that views gender identity as a position taken in a specific social context.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007
    1 HBO: Brand Management and Subscriber Aggregation: 1972-2007 Submitted by Gareth Andrew James to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English, January 2011. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. ........................................ 2 Abstract The thesis offers a revised institutional history of US cable network Home Box Office that expands on its under-examined identity as a monthly subscriber service from 1972 to 1994. This is used to better explain extensive discussions of HBO‟s rebranding from 1995 to 2007 around high-quality original content and experimentation with new media platforms. The first half of the thesis particularly expands on HBO‟s origins and early identity as part of publisher Time Inc. from 1972 to 1988, before examining how this affected the network‟s programming strategies as part of global conglomerate Time Warner from 1989 to 1994. Within this, evidence of ongoing processes for aggregating subscribers, or packaging multiple entertainment attractions around stable production cycles, are identified as defining HBO‟s promotion of general monthly value over rivals. Arguing that these specific exhibition and production strategies are glossed over in existing HBO scholarship as a result of an over-valuing of post-1995 examples of „quality‟ television, their ongoing importance to the network‟s contemporary management of its brand across media platforms is mapped over distinctions from rivals to 2007.

    THE INFLUENCE OF NEOCONSERVATISM IN THE DEPICTION OF VIOLENT NON-NORMATIVE WOMEN IN EROTIC THRILLERS FROM 1980 TO 2000 by ILANA SLAVIT A THESIS Presented to the Department of Cinema Studies and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2020 An Abstract of the Thesis of Ilana Slavit for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Cinema Studies to be taken June 2020 Title: The Influence of Neoconservatism in the Depiction of Non-normative Women in Erotic Thrillers from 1980 to 2000 Approved: Peter Alilunas Primary Thesis Advisor U.S. erotic thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s are intrinsically intertwined with the socio-political history of the culture wars. Both the counter-culture movements and a laxation of cinematic censorship during the 1960s resulted in an increase in sex and violence on-screen, in addition to non-normative behavior. Thus, the culture wars began, with neoconservatives and antifeminists in the late 1970s to the 1990s pushing for traditional family values against a backdrop of loosening social mores. Violent non- normative women in erotic thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s highlighted antifeminist sentiments of the era through literalization of non-normative lifestyles as dangerous to traditional family values and U.S. culture. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Professor Alilunas for his guidance with film history and analysis, in addition to textual and formatting suggestions from a media studies lens. I would also like to thank Professor Millán for helping me to fully examine the film history from an intersectional feminist theory perspective.

Zynisch und gelassen sieht er das Töten als eine Art des Geldverdienens. Wären seine ausgeprägten Alkoholprobleme nicht, hätte er mit dem auf Disziplin gegründeten mafiösen Familiengeist keine Probleme. Doch leider verschläft er einen wichtigen Auftragsmord im Alkoholrausch, und das bisher in festem Familienbesitz stehende Geschäft mit Schneepflügen ist ernsthaft in Gefahr. Der Buffaloer Schnee- und Stadtlandschaft steht ein Machtwechsel ins Haus. Nachdem sein Onkel ein Machtwort gesprochen hat, wird Frank ohne viel Federlesen nach San Francisco verfrachtet, wo der zwielichtige Dave ihm Wohnung, Job und eine 12-Punkte-Therapie bei den anonymen Alkoholikern verschafft. Als frisch gebackener Leichen- kosmetiker in einem Bestattungsunternehmen darf er sich nun nicht mehr mit dem Töten, sondern nur noch mit den Toten beschäftigen. Inmitten einer kuriosen Schar von Freunden, Feinden, Auf- passern, lebensbejahenden Alkoholikern und untröstlichen Angehörigen wird Franks Leben völlig auf den Kopf gestellt.

  • This Show Periodically Replaces Their Ad Breaks with New Promotional Clips
    Note: This show periodically replaces their ad breaks with new promotional clips. Because of this, both the transcription for the clips and the timestamps after them may be inaccurate at the time of viewing this transcript. 00:00:00 Music Music “The Rescue” by Trevor Rabin from The Great Raid (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) plays in background throughout introduction. Slow, lilting, woodwind-and-strings-heavy movie music. 00:00:01 John Host When we started recording Friendly Fire back in the spring of 2017, Roderick we didn’t really have a plan for it or a home for it or any kind of timeline for its debut. We just liked the idea of doing a war movie podcast together and maybe didn’t have a Plan B on that! I don’t think we expected to record for months before we premiered, but by the time Friendly Fire appeared in your podcatchers in January of 2018, we already had several months of back catalog in the can. As anyone in media can attest, having a trove of unreleased material is like having a cupboard full of canned soup. Or for you sports fans, it’s like having three flasks of brown liquor taped to your calves. We used up that buffer over the next couple of years—taking vacations and getting into tumultuous and ultimately gratifying but, alas, somewhat ill-fated affairs with carpentry bloggers who lived in Palm Desert—such that earlier this year, we had almost no buffer at all! Nerve-racking, to say the least! So we kicked it into gear and recorded ten shows a week until we built our cushion back.

This established a binary paradigm between Americans and Muslims, where Americans represented “us” whereas Muslims represented “them.” Through a qualitative analysis of the main characters in the post-9/11 terrorism-show, Homeland, season one (2011), as well as an analysis of the opening sequence and the overall narrative in the show, this thesis argues that this binary system of “us” and “them” is no longer black and white, but blurred, and hard to define. My analysis indicates that several of the enemies in the show break with the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as crude, violent fanatics.
