  • Reviewers' Responses to Agnosticism in Bill Maher's Religulous
    Boise State University ScholarWorks Communication Faculty Publications and Department of Communication Presentations 4-1-2011 Bombing at the Box Office: Reviewers’ Responses to Agnosticism in Bill Maher’s Religulous Rick Clifton Moore Boise State University This is an electronic version of an article published in Journal of Media and Religion, Volume 10, Issue 2, 91-112. Journal of Media and Religion is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com. DOI: 10.1080/15348423.2011.572440 This is an electronic version of an article published in Journal of Media & Religion, Volume 10, Issue 2, 91-112. Journal of Media & Religion is available online at: http://www.informaworld.com. DOI: 10.1080/15348423.2011.572440 Bombing at the Box Office: Reviewers’ Responses to Agnosticism in Bill Maher’s Religulous Rick Clifton Moore Boise State University Abstract This paper examines reviewers’ reactions to Bill Maher’s documentary film Religulous as a way of beginning a discussion of media and religious hegemony. Hegemony theory posits that dominant ideology typically trumps contesting views, even when the latter do manage to leak through the system. Given this, one might expect that film reviewers serve as a second line of defense for entrenched worldviews. Here, however, a thematic analysis of reviews from major national newspapers reveals that critics provided only slight support to traditional religious views Maher challenges in his filmic plea for agnosticism. There is in the world of comedy a plot structure that has traditionally been referred to with the non-inclusive label, “Character gets hoisted with his own petard.” Most of us can envision this element by remembering the classic Warner Brothers Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons.

  • Ann Harding ~ 22 Films
    Ann Harding ~ 22 Films Born in Texas in 1902 and forsaking commerce for the theatre in 1921, by 1929 Ann Harding was an established Broadway lead. In that year she signed with Pathé (soon part of RKO) and through the mid-'30s starred in a series of soap operas, most typically as suffering heroines forced to make noble sacrifices for the men they love. With her ash-blonde hair usually swept back into a bun, classical makeup-free good looks and deep, beautifully modulated voice, the patrician Harding brought a gentle, serene strength to such worthy star vehicles as When Ladies Meet (1933) and The Life Of Vergie Winters (1934) but fared less well in more faltering efforts such as Devotion (1931) and Enchanted April (1935). Ideal for the philosophical sophistication of playwright Phillip Barry, Harding shone in fine adaptations of two of his most successful comedy- drama talkfests: Holiday (1930), for which she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination and The Animal Kingdom (1932). She made two of her strongest films late in her reign as a star: the haunting almost surreal love story Peter Ibbetson (1935, opposite Gary Cooper) and the taut suspense melodrama Love From A Stranger (1937, with Basil Rathbone). She continued to appear on film, stage and television until 1965 and died in 1981, aged 79. With her favourite leading man, Leslie Howard Moira Finnie talks to Ann Harding biographer Scott O'Brien "Looking at Harding," wrote film historian Mick LaSalle in his book Complicated Women "is like looking into clear, deep water. Nothing stands in the way.

  • Stu's Movie Reviews 2013 Father's Day Edition
    Stu's Movie Reviews 2013 Father’s Day Edition Note I’m definitely not a pro reviewer. It’s just that if I don’t jot down impressions of movies I watch, I tend to forget them in a week. I rarely see blockbusters, usually stick to films that gross less than 10 mil. As a joke, I started rating these movies to three significant figures sometime in 2011. That way I could say I was the most precise (if not accurate) movie reviewer in the world. I started to add rambling riffs at the end of reviews sometime in 2011 as well. Warning! The reviews have typos and weird sentences with Yiddish grammar galore. Ignore the typos but not the opinions. My Rules of Thumb If it isn't funny, it better be damn good (mediocre and funny is OK); if it has subtitles, it better be fantastic. What You’ll See Mentioned Time and Time Again The script is lousy, but the acting is excellent. A Modest Request You can disagree with me, but don’t shoot me. This Year I’ve Added Color Coding Red: Run, do not walk, to your library to get a copy. Orange: I like it. Black: If you’re sick at home with a fever and this thing shows up on TV, why not? Blue: Brain cell killer. 2 All Time Favorites This is a good way to see if it’s worthwhile to read my reviews. If you shake your head at the list below, go no further. American Splendor Drama Annie Hall Comedy Bananas Comedy Beaufort Foreign Being John Malkovich Comedy Best in Show Comedy Big Night Drama Bonnie and Clyde Drama Boys Don't Cry Drama Breaker Morant: Drama Capturing the Friedmans Documentary Chicken Run Comedy Chinatown
