Presto in January Media Release: Thursday, December 17, 2015 Presto in January True Detective season 1 starts its investigation on Presto along with new seasons of Ray Donovan, Penny Dreadful and The Americans Presto today announced key programming set to kick off the New Year starting with the critically acclaimed True Detective (season 1). The edge-of-your-seat anthology crime drama is a Presto SVOD exclusive and centres on the lives of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives Rustin "Rust" Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Martin "Marty" Hart (Woody Harrelson) and follows a seventeen- year journey of flashbacks where the two detectives recount a murder. With the perpetrator still at large, it’s a race against time for these two men to piece things together and stop the cycle. Also streaming in January, is the third season of tough guy drama, Ray Donovan starring Liev Schreiber, as the title character. Ray is a "fixer" for L.A.’s elite celebrities, athletes and business moguls when they need to make their problems disappear. But no amount of money can mask Ray's past, which continues to haunt him and threatens to destroy everything he has built for himself. Many people are familiar with the classic tales of Dr. Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. Penny Dreadful brings those and other characters into a new light by exploring their origin stories in this psychological thriller that takes place in the dark corners of Victorian London. Presto adds season 2 from January. Finally, The Americans introduces viewers to Philip and Elizabeth Jennings, two KGB spies in an arranged marriage who are posing as Americans during the 1980s. The complex marriage becomes more complicated each day as the Cold War escalates, especially with the arrival of the Jennings' new neighbor, an FBI agent who is part of a new division tasked with fighting foreign agents.

  • The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960S
    The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s By Zachary Saltz University of Kansas, Copyright 2011 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts ________________________________ Dr. Michael Baskett ________________________________ Dr. Chuck Berg Date Defended: 19 April 2011 ii The Thesis Committee for Zachary Saltz certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: The Green Sheet and Opposition to American Motion Picture Classification in the 1960s ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. John Tibbetts Date approved: 19 April 2011 iii ABSTRACT The Green Sheet was a bulletin created by the Film Estimate Board of National Organizations, and featured the composite movie ratings of its ten member organizations, largely Protestant and represented by women. Between 1933 and 1969, the Green Sheet was offered as a service to civic, educational, and religious centers informing patrons which motion pictures contained potentially offensive and prurient content for younger viewers and families. When the Motion Picture Association of America began underwriting its costs of publication, the Green Sheet was used as a bartering device by the film industry to root out municipal censorship boards and legislative bills mandating state classification measures. The Green Sheet underscored tensions between film industry executives such as Eric Johnston and Jack Valenti, movie theater owners, politicians, and patrons demanding more integrity in monitoring changing film content in the rapidly progressive era of the 1960s. Using a system of symbolic advisory ratings, the Green Sheet set an early precedent for the age-based types of ratings the motion picture industry would adopt in its own rating system of 1968.

  • Showgirls Comes of Age
    SHOWGIRLS COMES OF AGE PHIL HOBBINS-WHITE POPMEC RESEARCH BLOG Showgirls, Paul Verhoeven’s much-maligned erotic film celebrates its twenty-fifth an- niversary later this year. This essay seeks to re-assess the film—which was almost uni- versally derided upon its release in 1995—now that it is a quarter of a century old. Telling the story of a drifter who hitches a ride to Las Vegas, Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) works hard to climb the ladder from stripper to casino showgirl, making a series of acquaintances along the way, many of whom are only looking to exploit her. On the surface, the film seems to be simple, made to satiate the desires of the audi- ence—primarily heterosexual males—however there are arguments to be made that Showgirls is so much more than that. This essay is in two sections: firstly, this part will contextualise the film, acknowledge some of the film’s criticisms, and will then go on to consider the film as a postmodern self-critique. The second instalment will go on to analyse Showgirls as an indictment of America in terms of its hegemonic structures, artificiality, its exploitative nature, and stardom. There is just so much interesting context to Showgirls, including the choices of direc- tor and writer, casting, budget, marketing, Hollywood studios, and the certification of the film. Showgirls is directed by Paul Verhoeven, whose reputation had grown with multiple successes in his native Netherlands before making the successful Hollywood films Robocop (1987) and Total Recall (1990). It was with his 1992 erotic thriller, Basic Instinct, that Verhoeven really became a household name director.
