  • Dazed and Confused & Fast Times at Ridgemont High
    UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME VIDEO ANNOUNCES DAZED AND CONFUSED & FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH SPECIAL EDITION DVD Two Classic High School Comedies in One Special DVD Package Graduating September 28, 2004 Universal City, CA, June 1, 2004—For the first time ever, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused, two movies that forever changed the way Hollywood depicted teenage life, will be released in a single DVD package. These two groundbreaking comedies take an unflinching look at the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll that are as much a part of the American high school experience as final exams and senior prom. Originally released more than a decade apart, each film in its own unique way offers a slice of high school life that's neither sugar coated nor preachy—just undeniably true! Whether you loved high school or barely survived it, you're bound to recognize plenty of the characters in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused. Who didn't know an affable stoner like Sean Penn's Jeff Spicoli, an insecure bully like Ben Affleck's Fred O'Bannion or an unflappable taskmaster like Ray Walston's Mr. Hand? The Head of the Class But there's another reason viewers will recognize the protagonists of these two great films. Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused each boast a stellar ensemble cast brimming with talented young actors who have gone on to become some of Hollywood's brightest stars. In addition to Penn and Affleck, the films' combined Who's Who of future household names includes Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Milla Jovovich, Anthony Edwards, Forrest Whitaker, Parker Posey, Eric Stoltz, Phoebe Cates, Judge Reinhold, Nicky Katt and Joey Lauren Adams.

    [Type text] Media Release For Immediate Release PEARL JAM ROCKS THE BIG SCREEN AT GOLDEN VILLAGE Singapore’s leading cinema chain plays host to a one-night only theatrical release of “Pearl Jam Twenty” Singapore, 5 September 2011 – In celebration of their 20th anniversary, legendary alternative rock band Pearl Jam, will make their big screen debut on 20th September worldwide with the release of PEARL JAM TWENTY. The film will open internationally in select theatres for one night only and Golden Village is proud to be the cinema of choice to screen the title in Singapore. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker and music journalist Cameron Crowe, PEARL JAM TWENTY is a captivating documentary which centres around the iconic American grunge band, Pearl Jam. Scheduled to premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival in September, the film chronicles the years leading up to the band’s formation, the chaos that ensued soon after their rise to mega-stardom, their step back from the limelight, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them, giving way to a work culture that would sustain them until today. “We put so much into the film – moments, pieces of footage shot by band members, audio snippets, visual bursts, new and old interviews – many different formats, all meant to present an emotional scrapbook of what it felt like to be a member of the band on this twenty-year journey,” said Crowe. “The richness of the footage made our path very clear – just tell the story of the band and let the music guide us.

  • Teenage Kicks: Celebrating the Teen on Screen Featuring the London Premiere of Charlie Lyne’S Beyond Clueless with a Live Score Performed by ‘Summer Camp’
    Teenage Kicks: celebrating the teen on screen Featuring the London Premiere of Charlie Lyne’s Beyond Clueless with a live score performed by ‘Summer Camp’ Friday 27 June 2014, London School might be out for summer, but throughout August BFI Southbank will be heading back to the classroom for lessons in teen angst, love and rebellion with Teenage Kicks, a month-long season dedicated to the teen on screen. From James Dean’s rebellious leading man in Rebel Without a Cause, to John Hughes’ infamous brat pack and the Mean Girls of the noughties, the teenager is firmly ensconced in cinema history. Teenage Kicks will look beyond the veneer of the ‘brat pack’ to showcase wildly varied portrayals of the teen, encouraging audiences – whether they’re young or not so young – to reflect upon those ‘in-between’ years. The season will include screenings of cult hits such as If… (1968), Heathers (1988) and Welcome to the Dollhouse (1992) as well as films met with controversy on their original release including Blackboard Jungle (1955) and Kids (1996), and there will be talks and specially curated events as part of BFI Future Film to tie in with the season. Taking place as part of the season will be a special Sonic Cinema screening of film critic Charlie Lyne’s part essay film, part love letter to teen films, Beyond Clueless (2014), complete with a live score performed by pop duo ‘Summer Camp’ whose soundtrack for the film will be released on Monday 4 August. Beyond Clueless (2014) provides viewers with a whistle stop tour of teen films; first-time director Charlie Lyne combines an intricate collage of scenes from over 200 movies to explore and celebrate the world of the American teenager.
