  • English Beat: in Concert at the Royal Festival Hall DVD Reviewed on Audiovideorevolution.Com
    English Beat: In Concert at the Royal Festival Hall DVD Reviewed on AudioVideoRevolution.com title: English Beat: In Concert at the Royal Festival Hall studio: Secret Films MPAA rating: Not Rated starring: English Beat DVD release 2005 year: film rating: Three Stars sound/picture: Three Stars reviewed by: Dan MacIntosh When you break it right down, there’s nothing particularly English about The English Beat. You may recall how the group was once lumped in with the whole ska movement back in the ‘80s, mainly because it was on the 2 Tone Records label, along with The Specials and The Selector. But if you listen closely, you hear very little actual ska (which is not exactly a British export in the first place) in the group’s songs. For instance, the only horn player in this outfit is the ancient Saxa, who would much rather play mellow jazz than skanking beats anyhow. Furthermore, the group’s repertoire contains a bounteous supply of reggae – both fast and slow – as well as other dance grooves. But no matter the style, all of these elements support this act’s punkish political attitude, which is possibly its lone true English attribute. This show, which was filmed at The Royal Festival Hall in London, England, features quite a few of the band’s original members. These players include the two front people, Ranking Roger and Dave Wakeling, as well as Saxa and drummer Everett Morton. And except for Saxa, of course, all of these musicians still look incredibly young. Better yet, they also sound great.

  • Visualizing Levinas:Existence and Existents Through Mulholland Drive
    VISUALIZING LEVINAS: EXISTENCE AND EXISTENTS THROUGH MULHOLLAND DRIVE, MEMENTO, AND VANILLA SKY Holly Lynn Baumgartner A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2005 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Kris Blair Don Callen Edward Danziger Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie ii © 2005 Holly Lynn Baumgartner All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This dissertation engages in an intentional analysis of philosopher Emmanuel Levinas’s book Existence and Existents through the reading of three films: Memento (2001), Vanilla Sky (2001), and Mulholland Drive, (2001). The “modes” and other events of being that Levinas associates with the process of consciousness in Existence and Existents, such as fatigue, light, hypostasis, position, sleep, and time, are examined here. Additionally, the most contested spaces in the films, described as a “Waking Dream,” is set into play with Levinas’s work/ The magnification of certain points of entry into Levinas’s philosophy opened up new pathways for thinking about method itself. Philosophically, this dissertation considers the question of how we become subjects, existents who have taken up Existence, and how that process might be revealed in film/ Additionally, the importance of Existence and Existents both on its own merit and to Levinas’s body of work as a whole, especially to his ethical project is underscored. A second set of entry points are explored in the conclusion of this dissertation, in particular how film functions in relation to philosophy, specifically that of Levinas. What kind of critical stance toward film would be an ethical one? Does the very materiality of film, its fracturing of narrative, time, and space, provide an embodied formulation of some of the basic tenets of Levinas’s thinking? Does it create its own philosophy through its format? And finally, analyzing the results of the project yielded far more complicated and unsettling questions than they answered.

There may be a few glitches or setbacks, but they are not detrimental. 4 – The album is very good. There aren’t too many glitches or setbacks but the ones that are present keep the album from being excellent. 3 – The album is mediocre. While the album is alright, there isn’t anything that makes it stand out above other albums. Some of it is good, and some of it needs work. 2 – The album is bad.
