Share Share Share StumbleUpon C Tweet 1 1 Like In a business that freDuentl0 has the tendenc0 to disproportionatel0 celebrate the contributions onl0 of above-the-line talent, a big part of the allure of something like EAfrican ,atsF lies in its below-the-line artisans. An engaging, gorgeousl0 photographed nature documentar0 that puts audiences on 6en0an plains in stunning fashion amidst its title subjects, this Disne0nature title onl0 stumbles in its willful insistence on imposing a famil0-friendl0 narrative on footage that is more than capable on its own, with less artificial constraints. 4 of 12 1/4/2012 9:48 AM DVD Review: African Cats, Monte Carlo, Wrong Turn 4 and Thankskilli... http://www.shockya.com/news/2011/11/24/dvd-review-african-cats-mont... /hat does that mean, straight to the pointB 9ess, or none, of Samuel 9. AacksonGs narration, dripping as it is with e8aggerated tones that needlessl0 attempt to dictate mood. Granted, heGs given a lot of awkward dialogue with which to work, but less evidence of human tinkering would have been more effective here. The movieGs stor0 focuses predominantl0 on two animal families, intercutting their separate stories of hunting and survival. One strand follows Sita, a fearless and cunning cheetah raising five newborn cubs as a single mother. The other follows a large pride of lionesses, including cub Mara, who live and travel under the protection of Fang, a broken-toothed old lion. /hen the receding river waters allow for the encroachment from the north of a would-be rival, 6ali, along with his four sons, it seems like FangGs da0s of supremac0 are numbered. The filmGs incredible visual intimac0 is its chief selling point, affording viewers a chance to get up close and personal with animals in a wa0 that even (oo e8hibits do not allow. Arriving on Blu-ra0 in a standard snap-shut case housed in turn in an embossed cardboard slipcover, EAfrican ,atsF is presented on an AV,-encoded dual-la0er disc, in 1.7C 1 widescreen. Its cr0stal-clear video transfer is utterl0 superb, with no artifacting or edge enhancement, and no minor hiccuping or dela0 in even the fastest cheetah chase seDuences. A DTS-HD master audio track spreads the bulk of its action across the front channels, but also takes advantage of its range in moments of atmospheric pause. A nice picture-in-picture feature pairs production trivia with information about the animals themselves, and there are also video annotations that spin off into much deeper topical e8plorations.

Gorgeous production design and superb costuming and girlie accoutrements help float this improbabl0 romantic adventure and lend it an air0 grace, as does a score from composer Michael Giacchino that classil0 evokes swirling romance without hitting antecedent influences right on the nose. The stor0 is fairl0 boilerplate, and could certainl0 do without a stor0 strand involving EmmaGs in-pursuit bo0friend Owen (,or0 MonteithI, who travels across the Atlantic in an improbabl0 flight0 Duest for romantic reconciliation.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Brutal is an extremely ruthless or cruel. Brutality is the quality of being brutal, cruelty, and savagery. Brutality is one of the factors that are used to increase the terror; the other terror factors are violence, sadism, and graphic blood. Brutality is the part of cruelty. Cruelty is one of the danger signals of personality sickness. A “sick” personality is one in which there is a breakdown in the personality structure which results in poor personal and social adjustment, just as in physical illness, the person does not behave as he normally does (Hurlock, 1979: 389-403). Brutality in A Nightmare on Elm Street Movie is reflected by the main characters, namely Krueger. He kills many teenagers through their dreams, it is called “A Nightmare” and this phenomenon happens on Elm Street. So, it is the reason why this film is entitled “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 2010 American slasher film directed by Samuel Bayer, and written by Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer, based on a story by Mr. Strick and characters created by Wes Craven; director of photography, Jeff Cutter; edited by Glen Scantlebury; music by Steve Jablonsky; production designer, Patrick Lumb; costumes by Mari-An Ceo; produced by Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller; released by New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers Pictures and Platinum Dunes. Running time: 1 1 2 hour 42 minutes. The film stars Jackie Earle Haley, Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker and Kellan Lutz. It is a remake of Wes Craven's 1984 film of the same name and the ninth Nightmare film in total, it is designed to reboot the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.

More recently, the superhero narrative has moved from cinema to television, which allows for the narratives to address more pressing cultural concerns in a more immediate fashion. Furthermore, millions of viewers perpetuate the televised narratives because they resonate with the values and stories in the shows. Through Fantasy Theme Analysis, this project examines the audience values within the Arrow’s superhero fantasy and the influence of posthumanism on the show’s superhero fantasy.

In 1977 they began to publish a newsletter to assist in providing out-reach to low income and working class women. In 1984 their physical space closed but the newsletter continued. Since then a large number of volunteer women have worked tirelessly to make the Women’s Center, Inc. newsletter a shining success. These lesbians did such an outstanding job that our little W CI newsletter grew and became the respected professional newspaper you now hold in your hand. Unfortunately, the workload required to accomplish all the tasks involved can no longer be maintained by Publication volunteers. Many of the current volunteer staff have worked on the paper for a half dozen years or more and now need, and want, to devote their spare time to other pursuits. Though the Women's Central News will cease to exist, the Women's Center, Inc. will go on and find other ways to serve the lesbian community. It has been a time of great reflection and soul searching for us all. We care deeply about the lesbian community and realize that the demise of the newspaper will leave women without a connection. The calendar of events and activities in each monthly issue has been a lifeline for many lesbians.

The PRISM Awards honor TV, movie, music, online, and comic book entertainment that accurately depicts substance use disorders, treatment and recovery, as well as mental health issues. The awards are presented in partnership with FX Network. Michael Botticelli, Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) was a spotlight speaker at the event. He also met with a group of entertainment personalities and executives that have had direct experience in addressing substance use concerns as related to the messages that the industry conveys to audiences, and in some instances their personal lives. Representatives from the music, television, movie, and theater businesses learned more about the prescription drug and heroin epidemic facing many communities and the latest advances in prevention and treatment. “The entertainment and media industries can play a vital role in helping the public understand that a substance use disorder is a disease, which can be prevented and treated and from which recovery is possible," said ONDCP Director Botticelli, who is himself in long-term recovery.
