  • The Man Who Invented Christmas Pk
    THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS Directed by Bharat Nalluri Starring Dan Stevens, Christopher Plummer and Jonathan Pryce UK release date | 1st December 2017 Running time | 104 minutes Certificate | PG Press information | Saffeya Shebli | [email protected] | 020 7377 1407 1 OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS The Man Who Invented Christmas tells of the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge (Christopher Plummer), Tiny Tim and other classic characters from A Christmas Carol. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day), the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today. LONG SYNOPSIS The bestselling writer in Victorian London sets out to revive his flagging career and reimagines Yuletide celebrations in The Man Who Invented Christmas, an entertaining and enchanting glimpse into the life and mind of master storyteller Charles Dickens as he creates the quintessential holiday tale, A Christmas Carol. After a string of successful novels, world-renowned writer Dickens (Dan Stevens) has had three flops in a row. With the needs of his burgeoning family and his own extravagance rapidly emptying his pockets, Dickens grows desperate for another bestseller. Tormented by writer’s block and at odds with his publishers, he grasps at an idea for a surefire hit, a Christmas story he hopes will capture the imagination of his fans and solve his financial problems. But with only six weeks to write and publish the book before the holiday, and without the support of his publishers – who question why anyone would ever read a book about Christmas – he will have to work feverishly to meet his deadline.

  • Mike Spadoni Wrote Over 100 Reviews and Articles for Television Heaven and Teletronic Over a Period of Many Years. This Issue Of
    Mike Spadoni wrote over 100 reviews and articles for Television Heaven and Teletronic over a period of many years. This issue of TVH pays tribute to his work by publishing fifty articles on classic (and some not-so- classic) American TV shows and personalities. ichael Spadoni made his living as a radio news producer and writer in Las M Vegas, Nevada. As a child he said he was the first on his block to have his own TV set in his bedroom (an old Packard Bell console), and his family was the first on the block to have a colour set ("a 1965 Sears Silvertone 23 inch console with contemporary styling--mom's preference"). From an early age, Mike, like many of his generation fell in love with 'the box.' Later, Mike entered the full high definition age with a 26 inch Sony Wega LCD set, an HD hard drive recorder, and a recorder for DVD and videotape--plus Dolby surround sound. "But there were times I missed my 1983 Mitsubishi 19 inch set that never failed me in the 20 years I owned it." And like any other television fan, his cabinets were filled with tapes and DVD's of old television series and classic commercials. ("Not to mention a few newer favourites." - he would say). Mike first started writing about US TV shows on Television Heaven's forum and his musings were so insightful and entertaining that I approached him and asked if he'd like to write a regular column for the main website. As a result 'Mike Spadoni's View from America' became a regular feature on Television Heaven for a number of years.

  • GSC Films: M-R Ma Saison Préférée 1993 André Téchiné 3.0 Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil. Beautifully Photographed A
    GSC Films: M-R Ma saison préférée 1993 André Téchiné 3.0 Catherine Deneuve, Daniel Auteuil. Beautifully photographed and meditative film about family relationships, loneliness, inability to communicate and establish and maintain relationships in southwest France. Focuses on Deneuve, reserved, disciplined and attractive matron, who has unspoken, reserved relationship with her husband, is standoffish with her children, and who struggles with her neurotic relationship with her brother (Auteuil). Their mother is a widow; she is strong, independent and rather blaming, always finding fault with her children; the issue is whether they will take her into their house, or send her to a retirement home; she has a massive stroke and dies in the end. Brother and sister have deep, enduring relationship that is sometimes harmonious and loving, and often antagonistic, even violently so; there are hints of incestuous feelings, but neither allows to go further. Movie often reads like a play, but the exquisite photography of nature (rivers, countryside, beginning in winter and proceeding into spring and summer) is cinematic, as are the ambiguous events – mother having stroke in orchard with camera’s focus on cherries, mother kills her chickens before she is taken off to retirement home, Deneuve having erotic encounter – almost a rape -- with young man in park (fantasy?), Auteuil jumping off balcony, but (intentionally?) only hurting his ankle and not killing self, etc. Subplot involving younger generation (adopted Lucien is obsessed with sex, Anne plays easy Bach pieces and is as stand-offish as her parents) that seems rather aimless. Mother announces the theme as her husband wanting their two children to be “moderne;” success, one becomes a notaire and the other a medical neurologist, and yet they are alienated, unhappy, and generally unable to maintain life-giving relationships.
