Emma Stone Is Dating Spider-Man Co-Star Andrew Garfield
Emma Stone Is Dating Spider- Man Co-Star Andrew Garfield It looks like these co-workers have no problem dating!The Amazing Spider-Man movie brought together an “amazing” spark between co-stars Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, according to UsMagazine.com. “They got close during filming and have been hooking up,” said an anonymous source. However, the two seem to want to keep their relationship private. It turns out that Garfield’s recent three-year relationship with actress Shannon Woodward is still a fresh wound. Why not avoid drama if at all possible? What are the benefits of keeping your new relationship from your ex? Cupid’s Advice: Though the “oo’s” and “aww’s” can be flattering when you and your partner happily expose your relationship to the public, timing is key. Cupid has some thoughts on why keeping your relationship from your ex may be the best thing for now: 1. Army material: Your ex may be ready for a fight. That is, he or she might not be afraid to lash out at your newest love interest. Keep that from happening at all costs. 2. Secrets: We all have secrets, even though sometimes we’d like to forget some of them. Your ex-partner might be feeling bitter and vengeful after your breakup. To keep him or her from being tempted to let loose all of your secrets to your new flame, keep the news of the relationship to yourself for a while. 3. Trust: Building trust is easier for your partner if no worrying is necessary.

I’ve been working with Philippe for many years now, especially after he relocated to NYC. He introduced me to Sofia first for commercials (such as Calvin Klein, Chanel, Cartier), then the opera “La Traviata” for European broadcast, and now two features, The Beguiled and On the Rocks. I’ve always been a big admirer of both their work and careers and was thrilled to collaborate with them once they started working together. I recall La Traviata was a big challenge to shoot live, with multiple cameras, audience, complicated limited lighting conditions, and they mastered it so elegantly: Once our little back and forth was over during the day, we this was a great rehearsal before grading The Beguiled would send our stills and CDL values to the dailies colourist together.

Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies a Thesis Presented to the Facult
In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Nicholas D. Bambach August 2016 © 2016 Nicholas D. Bambach. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies by NICHOLAS D. BAMBACH has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT BAMBACH, NICHOLAS D., M.A., August 2016, Film In the Company of Modern Men: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary Hollywood Comedies Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz This thesis discusses the increasing visibility of masculine identity in contemporary Hollywood comedies. I examine how shifting developments in economic, societal, cultural, and gender relations impacted the perception of cinematic masculinity. The men, more specifically white and heterosexual, in these films position themselves as victims and, as a result, turn to alternative outlets to ease their frustrations and anxieties. In order to broadly survey the genre of the past two decades, I focus on three consistently popular character tropes in Hollywood comedies: slackers, office workers, and bromantic friendships. All the male characters discussed throughout the thesis are plagued by their innermost anxieties and desires that compromise their gendered identities. However, these films resort to a regressive understanding of masculinity and functions within the dominant heteronormative structures. This thesis demonstrates how Hollywood comedies present a contradictory and multifaceted image of modern masculinity.

Biopic - a Film Or Documentary Depicting the Life of a Real Person Or Real Events
Biopic - a film or documentary depicting the life of a real person or real events. Shine (1996) - DVD - As a child piano prodigy, David Helfgott's (Geoffrey Rush) musical ambitions generate friction with his overbearing father, Peter (Armin Mueller-Stahl). When Helfgott travels to London on a musical scholarship, his career as a pianist blossoms. However, the pressures of his newfound fame, coupled with the echoes of his tumultuous childhood, conspire to bring Helfgott's latent schizophrenia boiling to the surface, and he spends years in and out of various mental institutions. Topsy Turvy (1999) - DVD - Set in the 1880s, the story of how, during a creative dry spell, the partnership of the legendary musical/theatrical writers Gilbert and Sullivan almost dissolves, before they turn it all around and write the Mikado. Ali (2001) - DVD and Book - With wit and athletic genius, with defiant rage and inner grace, Muhammad Ali forever changed the American boxing landscape. Fighting all comers, Ali took on the law, conventions, the status quo, and the war -- as well as the fists in front of him. Ali both ignited and mirrored the conflicts of his time to become one of the most admired fighters in the world. Catch me if you can (2002) - DVD and Book - Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) worked as a doctor, a lawyer, and as a co-pilot for a major airline -- all before his 18th birthday.

Sam (Andrew Garfield) is a disenchanted 33 year old who discovers a mys- terious woman, Sarah (Riley Keough), frolicking in his apartment’s swimming pool. When she vanishes, Sam embarks on a surreal quest across Los An- geles to decode the secret behind her disappearance, leading him into the murkiest depths of mystery, scandal, and conspiracy in the City of Angels. From writer-director David Robert Mitchell comes a sprawling and unexpect- ed detective thriller about the Dream Factory and its denizens—dog killers, aspiring actors, glitter-pop groups, nightlife personalities, It girls, memorabilia hoarders, masked seductresses, homeless gurus, reclusive songwriters, sex workers, wealthy socialites, topless neighbors, and the shadowy billionaires floating above (and underneath) it all. Mining a noir tradition extending from Kiss Me Deadly and The Long Good- bye to Chinatown and Mulholland Drive, Mitchell uses the topography of Los Angeles as a backdrop for a deeper exploration into the hidden meaning and secret codes buried within the things we love.
