  • Herever Possible
    Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane. Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again playsDEADLINE.com the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. “The Dark Knight Rises” also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake. Returning to the main cast, Oscar® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”) plays Alfred; Gary Oldman is Commissioner Gordon; and Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (“Million Dollar Baby”) reprises the role of Lucius Fox. The screenplay is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven, who previously teamed on “Batman Begins” and the record-breaking blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” The executive producers are 1 Benjamin Melniker, Michael E.

  • Steve's Film Festival Reviews 1993
    Steve’s Film Festival Reviews 1993 [These reviews have been reformatted for Word. Note that there was a hiatus of reviews from 1988 to 1992, and this edition marks a return to publication.] September 23, 1993 (Rev.) (again) Yes, it's that time of year again, and I am actually going to publish my reviews this year, something I had fallen out of the habit of doing. Having promised this epic to so many people, now I have to deliver. The films are reviewed in the order in which I saw them, and so there is no pride of place to a review coming first or last. I have done this to give non-Festival goers something of the feeling of the ups and downs of attending the Festival -- the days you wish you had stayed in bed as well as those where the films just get better and better. My apologies to those of you who have heard pieces of some of the reviews before. It is an inevitable fact that when people ask you about what you have seen, you develop a canned response after a while, and some of those are here. Have patience and read on. Friday, September 10th ______________________ (1) "A Foreign Field", GB, Charles Sturridge, 1993. ___________________________________________________ This film looks interesting in the program -- Alec Guinness, Leo Kern, Jeanne Moreau, Lauren Bacall; distributed by The Sales Company, a usually reliable source of English films. Premise: two old soldiers (English and American) are off to France to look up an old flame from WWII who was a ministering angel of mercy to them in hospital (and probably a bit more as well), and who are both convinced that she loved only them.

  • Produktion Av Tablåtext
    STOCKHOLMS UNIVERSITET Institutionen för nordiska språk Produktion av tablåtext av Johanna Höglander Sammanfattning: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur, när och varför tablåtexter förändras från sitt första manus till att texterna når tevepubliken i en tidning. Jag har utgått från Sveriges Televisions (SVT) kanaler SVT1 och SVT2 och följt texterna från SVT till nyhetsbyrån TT Spektra och vidare ut till tidningen Aftonbladet. Materialet omfattar totalt 52 tablåtexter från den 1 november 2002. Jag har gjort en kvantitativ textanalys där jag räknat och kategoriserat ingreppen i texterna och en kvalitativ textanalys där jag valt ut exempeltexter och kommenterat hur jag tänkt när jag kommit fram till vilka ingrepp texterna utsatts för. Undersökningen innehåller även intervjuer med skribenter representativa för de olika leden i produktionen: manusskribenter (källskribenter) på SVT, en tablåredaktör på SVT och en grundtablåskribent på TT Spektra. Aftonbladet fick jag intervjua via e-post. Det tydligaste resultatet är att SVT lämnar ifrån sig för långa texter som måste strykas ned rejält för att få plats i tidningen. Skribenterna på SVT är i olika grad medvetna om detta problem. Ändå, ett visst mått av okunskap, ibland även ovilja att skriva kortare texter och framför allt tidsbrist är orsaker till att SVT fortsätter producera texter som kräver omfattande redigering. Det är samtidigt tydligt att skribenterna har olika syn på sina bidrag till de i slutändan tidningspublicerade tablåtexterna. På SVT ser alla skribenterna texterna som ”sina”, på företagen ”efter” SVT har man en likartad syn, det vill säga att texterna tillhör dem och inte SVT. Olika syften och ett visst mått av skilt målgruppstänkande resulterar därför i en rad ingrepp i såväl språk som innehåll.
