At the conclusion of his remarks about that series of off­ campus GSU classes, we asked him what he would like to see in the future in the College of Business and Public Administration. Here are several of his projections for CBPA. Milam believes that the BPA curricula, which are reviewed every year, are sound. Material is updated and well organized. The articulation agreements with the junior colleges are working well and the dean attributes this suc­ cess in part to the Office of Admis­ sions and Recruitment, for the quality and quantity of the public relations brochures that have been initiated in that department.

  • Filmography 1963 Through 2018 Greg Macgillivray (Right) with His Friend and Filmmaking Partner of Eleven Years, Jim Freeman in 1976
    MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography 1963 through 2018 Greg MacGillivray (right) with his friend and filmmaking partner of eleven years, Jim Freeman in 1976. The two made their first IMAX Theatre film together, the seminal To Fly!, which premiered at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976, one day after Jim’s untimely death in a helicopter crash. “Jim and I cared only that a film be beautiful and expressive, not that it make a lot of money. But in the end the films did make a profit because they were unique, which expanded the audience by a factor of five.” —Greg MacGillivray 2 MacGillivray Freeman Films Filmography Greg MacGillivray: Cinema’s First Billion Dollar Box Office Documentarian he billion dollar box office benchmark was never on Greg MacGillivray’s bucket list, in fact he describes being “a little embarrassed about it,” but even the entertainment industry’s trade journal TDaily Variety found the achievement worth a six-page spread late last summer. As the first documentary filmmaker to earn $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, giant-screen film producer/director Greg MacGillivray joined an elite club—approximately 100 filmmakers—who have attained this level of success. Daily Variety’s Iain Blair writes, “The film business is full of showy sprinters: filmmakers and movies that flash by as they ring up impressive box office numbers, only to leave little of substance in their wake. Then there are the dedicated long-distance specialists, like Greg MacGillivray, whose thought-provoking documentaries —including EVEREST, TO THE ARCTIC, TO FLY! and THE LIVING Sea—play for years, even decades at a time.

  • The Relationship Between Reviewer Judgments and Motion Picture Success: Re-Analysis and Extension
    J Cult Econ (2012) 36:249–283 DOI 10.1007/s10824-012-9172-8 ORIGINAL ARTICLE The relationship between reviewer judgments and motion picture success: re-analysis and extension Thorsten Hennig-Thurau • Andre´ Marchand • Barbara Hiller Received: 13 June 2011 / Accepted: 7 June 2012 / Published online: 4 July 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012 Abstract The relationship between the judgments of professional reviewers and the economic success of cultural products, such as motion pictures, has been the topic of controversial debates involving both scholars and industry experts. This study builds on previous research that distinguishes an ‘‘influencer effect’’ of reviews from a ‘‘predictor effect.’’ By empirically separating consumers’ and reviewers’ perceptions of movie quality through an auxiliary regression approach (and thus effectively controls for consumers’ quality perceptions), this study advances the discussion by investigating whether and how isolated reviewer quality perceptions are associated with box office results. The authors empirically test a non-linear effect of reviewers’ quality perceptions on box office returns, including a comprehensive investigation of the moderating forces of this relationship, using regression and simple slope analyses. Data from all 1,370 narrative films released in the United States between 1998 and 2006 reveal that though the short-term box office generally is not influenced by isolated reviewer quality perceptions, a non-linear relationship exists between reviews and long-term box office returns, such that films rated highly by reviewers are more strongly influenced than those that are not. In terms of moderators, the authors find evidence for several arthouse and mainstream characteristics to moderate the relationship between isolated reviewer quality perceptions and box office results.

  • By Noel Carroll
    THE MOVIES - .. by Noel Carroll Vampires from outer space, pirate treasure, time machines, cowboys defending homesteaders, dinosaurs, a half-naked warrior vanquishing hordes of enemies, a house that turns into the biggest popcorn machine in history. These are the images you would have seen in some of Holly- wood's major productions of the past year-in Lifeforce, The Goo- nies, Back to the Future, Silverado, My Science Project, Rambo: First Blood Part 11, and Real Genius. This list may remind some older Americans of the kinds of movie choices they faced when they were children during the 1930s, '40s, or '50s. Those films could be neatly defined-as science fiction, horror, Westerns, war pictures, and slapstick comedies. For critics and movie-makers, these labels, along with others, such as musicals, mysteries, and thrillers, sort out the major film "genres." A decade and a half ago, the genre film seemed close to becom- ing an endangered species. Hollywood had largely turned away from the old standbys, seemingly forever (although it still produced a fair number of them), in favor of more experimental films in the vein of Steelyard Blues and Five Easy Pieces. "What these films-and oth- ers-had in common," writes Arthur Knight, a film historian, "was their articulation of contemporary attitudes and emotions, in a lan- guage that had its own modem rhythms and nuances." But Hollywood attentively follows ticket sales at the box office, and by the mid-1970s, the movie-going public was telling studio exec- utives that it wanted old-fashioned genre films again.

These critics have become celebrities in their own right, yet they have never produced, directed, or acted in a movie; they make their living passing judgment on those who do.

As for the performances, they are all solid if relatively uninspired. The one exception is Catherine Tate, whose Mrs Ratcliffe, a sensible type of woman whose British grit is brought out by the absurd situations created by a world dominated by secret police and communist ideology, is quite well realized. Unfortunately the producers gave the film a big injection of arch humor that seems to have come atherine Tate’s spirited performance is one directly from the Carry On movies of the few bright spots in a film that from of the early 1970s.
