Edit Cast Credited cast: Jeff Ayars Aided by Bob Graham's striking illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out. A remake of Ghost from the Machine this mid range horror stars Thomas Mann in a science meets supernatural effort. It's watchable stuff in fact the concept behind the movie is fairly interesting but the creators don't think outside the box and instead play it safe making a generic Hollywood style horror. They absolute love playing in the box house but also some children gets very territorial of who is in there with them. User Ratings.

    CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND a screenplay by Charlie Kaufman based on CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND an unauthorized biography by Chuck Barris third draft (revised) May 5, 1998 MUSIC IN: OMINOUS ORCHESTRAL TEXT, WHITE ON BLACK: This film is a reenactment of actual events. It is based on Mr. Barris's private journals, public records, and hundreds of hours of taped interviews. FADE IN: EXT. NYC STREET - NIGHT SUBTITLE: NEW YORK CITY, FALL 1981 It's raining. A cab speeds down a dark, bumpy side-street. INT. CAB - CONTINUOUS Looking in his rearview mirror, the cab driver checks out his passenger: a sweaty young man in a gold blazer with a "P" insignia over his breast pocket. Several paper bags on the back seat hedge him in. The young man is immersed in the scrawled list he clutches in his hand. A passing street light momentarily illuminates the list and we glimpse a few of the entries: double-coated waterproof fuse (500 feet); .38 ammo (hollowpoint configuration); potato chips (Lays). GONG SHOW An excerpt from The Gong Show (reenacted). The video image fills the screen. We watch a fat man recite Hamlet, punctuating his soliloquy with loud belching noises. The audience is booing. Eventually the man gets gonged. Chuck Barris, age 50, hat pulled over his eyes, dances out from the wings to comfort the agitated performer. PERFORMER Why'd they do that? I wasn't done. BARRIS (AGE 50) I don't understand. Juice, why'd you gong this nice man? JAYE P. MORGAN Not to be. That is the answer.

  • Nails and Pride by Angus Macfadyen Final Draft 03-08-01
    Nails and Pride by angus macfadyen final draft 03-08-01 EXT. HOLLYWOOD HILLS, NIGHT. A black cat crosses in front of a pair of feet. It stares up at the face, as yet unseen, and miaws plaintively. A leg kicks out, and the cat leaps out of frame with a hiss. The legs walk up to a vast wooden door. Those legs belong to the back of the figure as a hand reaches out and pushes a silent buzzer. CLOSE UP of the man's face. Sixties. Unshaven, unkempt, artistic; years of extravagance have etched unusuality into his features. He inhales a menacing gauloise cigarette, sans filtre. The door opens. A woman of forty stands in the doorway. Her face is tight with the discipline that fights the anxiety of a meaningless life. She is an attractive can of worms. TESS. She is startled by the appearance of the man. TESS I haven't any change, sorry. TESS is closing the door. The man, STANKO, drops his heavy canvas bag. The bag lands on the plush custom fitted carpet with a thump and stops the door from closing. STANKO pushes past TESS. TESS (CONT'D) Hey, what do you think you're...Benjamin. Benjamin. I'm calling the police. STANKO's back is formidable as he strides into the living room. And stops. Staring at a large painting on a wall. BEN, TESS' husband, has risen from his plush sofa in front of the 56 inch TV set with surroundsound and observes STANKO. STANKO stares at the painting. His focus is totally absorbed by it.BEN speaks softly, hiding his fear.

  • December 2015 Curtain Rises on ‘Twelve Angry Jurors’ by George Rausch
    THE LIGHTHOUSE Vol. XXIX, No. 2 Lyndhurst High School: 400 Weart Avenue, Lyndhurst, NJ 07071 December 2015 Curtain rises on ‘Twelve Angry Jurors’ By George Rausch As the lights came up, a set of double doors were unlocked and 12 unnamed men and wom- en spilled onto a stage, where an intense debate ensued. They were jurors, and the life of an al- leged murderer rested in their hands. On Nov. 19 and 20, the auditorium was trans- formed into a jury deliberation room for the performance of “Twelve Angry Jurors” by Reg- inald Rose. English Teacher Ms. Coppola, who has been directing the school play for the past decade, said she always looks for shows with ensemble casts and “Twelve Angry Jurors” fit the bill, ac- commodating a large number of principal char- acters with nearly equal parts. Coppola said she also chose the play because of its timelessness. Published in 1957 under the original name “Twelve Angry Men,” it is quite old, but she said audiences can still learn from it. “Even though it is from 60 years ago, it is still relevant,” Coppola said. “I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be interesting to take a look at how our justice system actually works?’ by watching a jury de- liberate a case.” In deliberation, if even one juror has reason- able doubt, the suspect cannot be labeled guilty. “If you cannot prove a person’s guilt, they must be innocent. That’s the way our justice system works,” Coppola said. Coppola said large trials are frequently im- pacted by the media.

A NOTE REGARDING MUSIC: Good music, and the importance of it in our lives – is at the core of this story. Indeed, the aBsence of it – until the final scene - is essential to the world of the play. If you elect to use music for scene changes or transitions, please refrain from using good music – it should be industrial, crappy “Muzak” at best, or even simply announcements one would hear over the public address system in a senior-living facility. ACT ONE SCENE 1 (Lights up on The Algonquin Room, a recreational and/or community room at Placid Pines, a Senior Care Center in the Adirondack region of upstate New York.

  • JOHN LEWIS 2012.3.113 Recording Opens with Unidentified Speaker
    JOHN LEWIS 2012.3.113 Recording opens with unidentified speaker introducing John Lewis. The introduction is already in progress, and the recording begins mid-sentence. MODERATOR: . .of this part of his life in his best-selling book, Walking with the Wind. I read a chapter of his book on amazon.com. Those of you who are familiar with that website know that it solicits reader reviews online. Most best-sellers get widely varying customer responses, ranging from one star to five stars. A Man in Full by Thomas [sic, means Tom] Wolfe certainly ran the full gamut. [Chuckles from the audience] But the response to Walking with the Wind is testimony to the power and the eloquence of John Lewis’s message. Nineteen reader reviews were listed, which is a very high number. Every one was five stars. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a modern man for all seasons, Congressman John Lewis. [Audience applause] Mr. Lewis approaches the podium and shakes hands with the moderator, who leaves as Mr. Lewis takes the podium. JOHN LEWIS: Let me thank the DeKalb Historic Society for inviting me to be here to talk about my book—my little book, Walking with the Wind. I’m so happy to be out of Washington. [Audience laughter] It’s difficult to walk with the wind in Washington [audience laughter] these days. I must tell you a little story that I tell in the book, Walking with the Wind. Some of you have heard this story many, many times. I didn’t grow up in a big city like Atlanta or New York or Washington or Philadelphia or Birmingham or Savannah or Columbus or Snellville [audience laughter] or East Point or Palmetto or Decatur.
