ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big!

Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

80S Movie Trivia Questions and Answers
80s Movie Trivia Questions From: conversationstartersworld.com/80s-movie-trivia 1. Which 80s movie was the highest grossing film of the decade? E.T. The Extraterrestrial The 1982 movie surpassed Star Wars to become the highest grossing film of all time. The movie held that record for 11 years until it was surpassed by Jurassic Park in 1993. 2. Which 80s movie was Alan Rickman’s first feature film role? Die Hard The 1988 film grossed over $140 million worldwide and turned Bruce Willis into an action star. Before then he had been known only as a comedy actor. Willis filmed the comedy television series Moonlighting at the same time as Die Hard. Beethoven’s Ode to Joy is the terrorist’s theme song in the movie, and Rickman can be seen humming the song during his elevator scene with Mr. Takagi. 3. Which 80s movie spawned 6 sequels and a T.V. series? Police Academy The comedy film grossed $146 million worldwide and became the sixth highest grossing film of 1984. The film was inspired by real life police cadets. During the filming of The Right Stuff Paul Maslansky witnessed a diverse group of police cadets ineffectively doing crowd control for the filming. He found the situation humorous, and that night he wrote up two pages to give to the Ladd Company. They loved the concept and agreed to develop the movie. 4. Which 80’s movie was the first to become a hit largely due to MTV? Flashdance The 1983 film had a decent opening weekend but the soundtrack was what catapulted the film to success.

Mature Masculinity and the Ageing Action Hero
Meijer Rebecca Feasey Mature masculinity and the ageing action hero The ageing male action hero is a figure many are familiar with through the character of Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series. However, physical strength, speeds and agility are usually not associated with old age. Whether age makes a difference in the action hero genre is a question Rebecca Feasey deals with in this article. Introduction Much work within the field of film and gender studies has attempted to theorise, unmask and deconstruct the representation of the male action hero, paying particular attention to the spectacular body and the herculean physical performances of characters such as John McClane/Bruce Willis, Martin Riggs/Mel Gibson and Indiana Jones/Harrison Ford. And yet, at a time when these stars are returning to the action roles that made them famous, in some cases, several decades later, scholars continue to ignore and overlook the fundamental notion of age in their discussions of the hard bodied, hegemonic hero. After all, hegemonic masculinity has associations with physical prowess, sexual virility, social dominance and aggression, which are potentially at odds with the image of the ageing male. With this in mind, I propose to examine the representation of the ageing action hero in the popular and long running Die Hard (1988, 1990, 1995, 2007) franchise, and consider the ways in which the mature masculinity on offer is seen to either be confirming to or challenging the hegemonic ideal. Hegemonic masculinity and male hierarchies Although there are a myriad of masculinities in existence at any one moment, this is not to say that each one is treated equally or granted the same level of social, sexual or economic power.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Rocky balboa) Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr. (b. July 6, 1945) is a fictional Rocky Balboa athlete, portrayed by Sylvester Stallone who has appeared in the Rocky series from 1976 to 2006. He is famous for being extremely tenacious and 'fighting with his heart', as his trainer Mickey Goldmill famously intones. His style, endurance, determination, and pleasant personality greatly resemble the real life heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano, even though the creation of the character was directly inspired by Chuck Wepner. He embodies the rugged tenacity often associated with the people of his native Philadelphia.

New UC Chief Is Ready for Action Page 1 of 3
Los Angeles Times: New UC chief is ready for action Page 1 of 3 http://www.latimes.com/news/education/la-me-yudof15-2008jun15,0,6883627.story From the Los Angeles Times New UC chief is ready for action Mark Yudof faces a budget crisis and tough legislators, but he's done that before and knows the ropes. By Larry Gordon Los Angeles Times Staff Writer June 15, 2008 AUSTIN, TEXAS -- — Mark G. Yudof, the incoming president of the University of California, says he gets a kick out of his unlikely connection to "Predator," the 1987 movie pitting action heroes against an alien creature in the jungle. Two of the film's muscled stars, Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger, later became governors, of Minnesota and California, respectively. Yudof, a former president of the University of Minnesota, famously tussled with Ventura over education funding in that state. And on Monday, the distinctly nonathletic attorney who has led the University of Texas for six years heads to Arnold-land at a time when Schwarzenegger is advocating a state budget that would lead to big spending cuts for UC. "It could be part of my karma, my kismet," Yudof said of "Predator," commemorated by a comical photo in which a friend pasted Yudof's face onto a gun-toting body next to the buff actors. "If Carl Weathers" -- another "Predator" star -- "a few years from now is elected governor of California, then we are really on to something." Kismet or coincidence, Yudof becomes the 19th leader of the 10-campus UC system in the midst of much-protested student fee increases and anticipated belt-tightening.
