Film Reviews
Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a sceneforscene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a reimagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of nonEnglish language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its evergrowing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man. -
Switchblade Comb" by Mobius Vanchocstraw
00:00:00 Music Music "Switchblade Comb" by Mobius VanChocStraw. A jaunty, jazzy tune reminiscent of the opening theme of a movie. Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I'm April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on—a writer, director, actor, or producer—and we talk in-depth about one of their fave genre films, perhaps one that influenced their own work in some small way, and today I'm very excited to have writer-director Alice Waddington here with me. Hi, Alice! 00:00:28 Alice Guest Hi, April! How are you? Waddington [Music fades out.] 00:00:30 April Host Oh, I'm quite well. [Alice laughs.] Despite fires raging. 00:00:32 Alice Guest Oh my goodness. 00:00:33 April Host But I gotta say your pink jumpsuit—pink corduroy jumpsuit is really livening up the place. 00:00:39 Alice Guest [Laughs.] Thank you so much. I'm—you know, I am on my Logan's Run stuff already. So. [Laughs.] 00:00:44 April Host Absolutely. I mean, Halloween should be year-round. [Alice laughs.] Okay, so for those of you who are not as familiar with Alice's work, please let me give you an introduction. Alice Waddington was born in a rural background, but she was raised in the big city of Bilbao, Spain. -

Almost since the art form began, there's been a split between animation as a studio product and animation as a vehicle for individual expression. The enormous succe features and TV shows has kept the work of the major animation studios uppermost in the minds of American audiences recently. But beginning with the pioneer cartoonist and filmmaker Winsor McCay - - back in the early 1900's -- independent artists have treated animation as an art as personal, flexible and immediate as painting or sculpture. Their work is an entirely different vision of what an animated film can be, as the new DVD box set The Animation Show of Shows richly proves. Volume 3 just came out. The artists who create these films may teach or support themselves with other jobs or work at a government-sponsored body, like the National Film Board of Canada. Some are students, and some are professionals pursuing their visions in their spare time. They're united by a commitment to the art of animation. M any of the films in Show of Shows use techniques that are too impractical or personal for large scale production. -
Shock the Monkey a Vr Film by Nicolas Blies & Stéphane Hueber-Blies
SHOCK THE MONKEY A VR FILM BY NICOLAS BLIES & STÉPHANE HUEBER-BLIES An experiment of anticipation in virtual reality on the privatization of our imagination. Will you be able to regain your freedom? A production by “The advertising industry that is used to create consumers is a phenomenon that has developed in the freest countries. 100 years ago, it became clear that it would be more difficult to control the population by force. The freedom gained was far too great. We needed new ways to control people. With this new objective, the advertising industry exploded to make consumers. The idea is to control everyone, to transform society into a perfect system. A system based on a duo. This duo is you and television, or today, you and the Internet, that shows you what an ideal life looks like, what you should have. And you will spend your time and energy to get it. (...) We create desires, we lock the population into the role of consumers. (...) Consumers who must be spectators, not participants in our democracies. Noam Chomsky “ 2 SUMMARY 2046. SOMA is an activist against the dominant system. It is also the code name for the spirit liberation program she and her team have been running for several months. A program that seeks to stem the privatization of our minds by multinationals and consumerist ideology. SOMA kidnaps you and encourages you to free yourself from this conditioning. With your permission, she infiltrates your brain. You then begin a psychedelic journey into the depths of your imagination to allow you to regain your free will.
