Knight and Day | Nouse Nouse Web Archives Knight and Day Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Film & TV › Features Film Reviews TV Reviews Festivals Knight and Day By Victoria Morris Monday 13 September 2010 Director: James Mangold Starring: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz Runtime: 110 Minutes Rating: *** So, I confess, I am a Tom Cruise addict, and despite the wealth of criticism he receives, and despite his fall from box office grace, I still eagerly anticipate his films. So for me, Knight and Day was no exception, and it was an enjoyable, light-hearted popcorn film. Cruise resumes his first action role since Mission: Impossible 3 as Roy Miller, a secret agent on the run from his former employers at the FBI, as he goes ‘rogue’. Or is he being framed? He meets or rather bumps into classic car restorer June Havens (Cameron Diaz) on a flight, which the authorities have managed to clear of everyone apart from their agents. June instantly falls for Roy’s charm and perfectly gentleman-like manner as she finds herself onboard with him. As she heads off to the bathroom to freshen up, chaos ensues on the plane, as Roy takes on all the agents. She’s so smitten with him as she heads back out, throwing herself at him, that it takes a kiss and some awkward conversation before she realises everyone else, including the pilot, are dead. From here on, June is thrust into Roy’s world of chaos and mayhem, the plans for a nice break with her family thrown away. She finds herself being taken to a ‘safe’ location by the FBI before Roy comes to her rescue. They go from one crazy adventure to another, travelling the world as Roy tries to keep a step ahead of those who are after him. There is scene after scene of car chases, motorcycle chases, guns, fighting, exotic locations and sudden romance – everything you could possibly want to see in a summer blockbuster. There’s so much, in fact, it’s as if the director was scared that we’d get bored if anything was left unexploded. This means we fail to really get to know the characters in any depth; they appear to be no more than one-dimensional, and we connect to neither of them with any great strength. However, it was a pleasure to see Cruise and Diaz back together again. They work well as a pair and have a certain onscreen chemistry that provides for http://nouse.co.uk/2010/09/13/knight-and-day Archived 11 Dec 2018 00:38:58 Nouse Web Archives Knight and Day Page 2 of 3 some very comical, yet sweet moments in the movie. If you are looking for something fast-paced, funny and action-packed that requires little thought, then this movie is a good one to see. It may have its flaws, but in all it fulfils its role as a Hollywood summer blockbuster, and I was more than happy to see Tom Cruise’s gleaming smile and quirky charm back on the big screen.

  • Tom Cruise Biography Pdf
    Tom cruise biography pdf Continue It's no secret that Tom Cruise has been struggling at the US box office for a while now. From 1992 to 2006, Cruz had a nearly unbreakable string of $100 million-plus box office hits - an unprecedented track record in modern Hollywood. (Two exceptions: R-rated erotic thriller Eyes Wide Shut and indie ensemble Magnolia.) Since 2006 Mission: Impossible III, however, Cruz seems to have come up with a terrible CJS case, i.e. Couch-Jumping Syndrome: His only film to bank more than $100 million in the U.S. was The Mission 2011: Impossible - The Ghost Protocol. The rest - Lions for Lambs, Valkyrie, Knight and Day, Rock of the Ages, and Jack Reacher - all had either disappointments or outright dips in the US. A true movie star should have a life for one franchise, but seemingly over the past seven years, The American audience has been interested only to see Cruise run, jump, and shoot like secret agent Ethan Hunt.That is, until this weekend. Cruz's sci-fi thriller Oblivion opened for $38.2 million, which is the 50-year-old's best domestic film for a film where neither Mission Impossible nor director Steven Spielberg was on the film's poster. (If you adjust for inflation, interview with vampire and firm did better.) That's doubly impressive given Friday night, much of the country stayed home to watch a live broadcast of the hunt for Boston bomber Dzokhar Tsarnaev.So does that mean Cruz finally shook off the scourge of CJS and returned to grace The American audience? It's possible.

  • Tango As Exoticist Other in Hollywood Films
    1 Tango as Exoticist Other in Hollywood Films: The Poetics of Desire, and Violence By Hannah Balcomb, University of Riverside, CA. This paper was presented at Encuentros/Encounters 2013 Tango: Argentine Music and Dance, Argentine Identity University of California, Riverside April 26, 2013 Sponsored by the Center for Iberian and Latin American Music 2 OPENING VIGNETTTES Scene 1: The camera opens on a pair of legs descending down the stairs, followed by a buttox, a torso, and finally a head. The woman crosses the room in a haughty manner; she does not acknowledge anyone, but calmly sheds her coat to reveal bare shoulders and a short, strappy dress. A man appears; he is tall, dark, and handsome–exotic. He carries himself with poise and strength, shoulders back, chest forward. The first piano chords ring out and, without speaking, the man and the woman begin to dance a provocative, smoldering tango brimming with sexual tension. The audience, a group of high school students, stare; they are entranced by these figures and their alluring dance. Scene 2: A man in a restaurant begins to engage a woman he does not know in conversation. He invites the woman to dance. Hesitantly she explains that she does not know how to dance the tango and is afraid of making a mistake. The man assuages her fears, saying “No mistakes in tango…That’s what makes the tango so great. You make a mistake, get all tangled up; just tango on.” The woman, seduced by this tantalizing and freeing suggestion, agrees to dance. The two maneuver gracefully across the floor despite the fact that the man is blind and the woman has never danced tango before.

  • Tom Williams, C.A.S
    TOM WILLIAMS, C.A.S. Production Sound Mixer Member, IATSE 695, 481 Tom Williams started his career by attending the Berklee College of Music as a Production Engineering Major and working in studios around Boston with elements as diverse as rock bands to orchestras. From studio work, Tom moved into documentaries, which took him around the world shooting for the BBC, NOVA, American Experience and Discovery. The doc world led to narrative work and then into the feature world, where he has worked on many high profile projects. The years spent on documentaries left Tom with the ability to think creatively on the fly, which is always helpful on set. That ability, as well as state of the art equipment, a collaborative attitude and positive personality make Tom easy to work with. He loves what he does and strives to be “invisible” while working, always looking ahead and thinking around potential problems before they can arise. Based just outside of Boston, Tom is available to work anywhere and carries both a US and EU passport.

  • Alexander Mackendrick: Filmmaker, Teacher & Theorist a Centennial Celebration
    FILM AT REDCAT PRESENTS Wed Feb 6 | 8:30 pm | Jack H. Skirball Series $10 [students $8, CalArts $5] Alexander Mackendrick: Filmmaker, Teacher & Theorist A Centennial Celebration The esteemed director of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) and The Ladykillers (1955), Alexander Mackendrick (1912–1993) was a pivotal figure in the history of CalArts, and his work and writings remain a major influence on contemporary narrative directors and screenwriters. For this celebration of the artist’s multifaceted contributions, Paul Cronin (editor of Mackendrick’s seminal book On Film-Making) is joined by two CalArts alums, director James Mangold and author and filmmaker F.X. Feeney. Together they honor the man who, as Dean of the School of Film/Video at CalArts and throughout his nearly 25 years of teaching, shaped an institution and inspired generations of filmmakers. This lively discussion reveals Mackendrick through personal reminiscences, film clips and critical observations on his work as a filmmaker, teacher and theorist. In person: Paul Cronin, F.X. Feeney and James Mangold “ ‘Process, not product’ was [Mackendrick’s] mantra to his students. The creative process—not the creative method, or the creative system. The process. Which never stops.” —Martin Scorsese One of the most distinguished directors ever to emerge from the British film industry, Alexander “Sandy” Mackendrick was born in the US to Scottish parents. Raised in Scotland, Mackendrick studied at the Glasgow School of Art. Afterward, he worked as a commercial illustrator, soon gravitating to making films, the first being animated advertisements followed by numerous live action short documentaries. Mackendrick’s feature debut was the Ealing Studios comedy classic Whisky Galore (1949).
