Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release the Harrison Ford 5 ​ Film Collection, three of which are brand new to Blu­ray. ​ ABOUT THE FILMS 42 (2013) Written and directed by Brian Helgeland (Legend, LA Confidential) this is the inspiring true story of ​ ​ the man who broke the Major League baseball colour barrier, Jackie Robinson, with Ford starring as the man who signed him, Branch Rickey. Firewall (2006) Ford proved he still had what it takes in the action man genre in this dazzling techno­thriller, starring as a security specialist forced to rob a bank after his family is taken hostage by the dastardly Paul Bettany. Frantic (1988) Directed by Roman Polanski, this superb thriller, a forerunner to the Liam Neeson Taken films, ​ ​ sees Harrison Ford as a doctor whose wife disappears from their hotel room during a trip to Paris. What follows is a nightmarish journey into the underbelly of the city as Ford attempts to find out Page 2 what has happened to her. Presumed Innocent (1990) A sensational nail­biting whodunnit right up to the final scene, this box office smash was based on the bestselling Scott Turow novel, and directed by the great Alan J Pakula (Klute). Ford is a DA ​ ​ who is put in charge of the investigation of his lover’s murder – and finds himself in the frame for the killing.

  • Alan Rickman, the British Actor Who Played The
    Alan Rickman, the British actor who played the multifaceted Professor Severus Snape in “Harry Potter” and villain Hans Gruber in “Die Hard” has passed away at the age of 69. He was pronounced dead last Thursday after battling cancer. The news came as a shock to many. I know I was shocked. This was the first thing I saw when I log onto my Facebook account that morning. Not a great way to start my day. Celebrities expressed their sadness on the news. J.K. Rowling author of the Harry Potter series expressed her sadness through Twitter. When asked how she felt, “There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am to hear of Alan Rickman’s death. Fans had lost “a great talent” and his family “have lost a part of their hearts.” Daniel Radcliffe who played the titular character Harry Potter, said Rickman was kind and generous ,“Alan was extremely kind, generous, self-deprecating and funny,” he wrote on Google+. Like many actors he has never been nominated for an Oscar despite being a critically acclaimed actor. His true love may have been stage acting but I’ll always think of him as Professor Snape, the antagonistic professor who played a major role in Harry’s life behind the scenes. He took on the role only have read three books up to that point. Because of this he did know how much of a good guy Snape was. Rickman is survived by his wife Rima Horton whom he had been together with since 1965. They met as teenager and they have been together ever since.

  • James Bond 007 Analysis Codebook
    1 James Bond 007 Analysis Codebook Kimberly A. Neuendorf, Ph.D. Patrika Janstova Sharon Snyder-Suhy Vito Flitt School of Communication, Cleveland State University & Thomas D. Gore, M.A. School of Communication Studies, Kent State University REVISED September 29, 2010 Unit of Data Collection: Each female character depicted in each Bond film who speaks in the film to any other character, or who does not speak but is introduced by another character, or who does not speak but is shown and referred to by another character, or is shown in close-up (i.e., head shot or head and shoulders shot), or engages in any codable sexual behavior, or experiences codable physical harm. When judging whether the female character speaks or is referred to, the coder must be able to both hear the female character and see that character’s mouth moving as she speaks, or must hear her name when she is introduced or referred to. In addition, only females that appear to be over the age of 18 will be coded (no teenagers or children). Other Coding Instructions: Do not code the opening or closing credits. For all coding, use only the information available to you as a viewer (i.e., do not use information you might have as a fan of Bond films, a fan of a particular actor, etc.). Code a female character’s use of weapons/target of weapons only from the point at which she becomes a codable character. That is, if early in the film, a group of undifferentiated (and uncodable) females are carrying guns, and then later one of them becomes codable because she kisses Bond, do not go back and code her earlier gun-carrying behavior.
