Students petition Baucus to keep professor at UM By Shaun Tatarka Staff Writer A UM student has sent a petition signed by 35 UM Russian department students to U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., in an attempt to keep a visiting professor from having to return to the former Soviet Union. Judith Dotson, a senior in Russian and history, said she sent the petition in hopes that Baucus could help find money to keep visiting professor Dr. Ludmila Pavlina at UM. Pavlina has spent the last three years at UM teaching first-year Russian language students. “She is an excellent teacher and the only native-speaking Russian professor we have,” Dotson said. “It would be a tragedy to lose her.” Dotson said she chose Baucus because of the national government's recent concerns over Soviet-U.S.

  • The Book of Eli
    THE BOOK OF ELI US, 2009, The Hughes Brothers Welcome, once again, to the end of civilisation as we know it and introducing the wasteland of post-apocalyptic America. Recently, this has been done with tongue in cheek humour in Zombieland and with earnest seriousness in the fine adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel, The Road, by John Hillcoat. Eli has been wandering the devastated United States for thirty years. He is a survivor who is quick, very quick, with arrows, guns and a blade that would make some Samurai envious. Speaking of Samurai, he is the latest in the tradition of Mad Max heroes, a sign of contradiction, violent weapons master but straightforward sage who can be courteous and wise. Since he is played by Denzel Washington the latter almost goes without saying, so it is a surprise to see Denzel wielding the weapons. The itinerary is familiar enough though the look of it, all desaturated colour and painter-like framing of scenes and of iconic buildings and roads, is quite distinctive and arresting. As is the soundtrack. Eli shoots a wildcat for meat, is ambushed by a flesh-eating bikie gang which is literally dismembered, and rapidly. A gang rapes a wandering woman and Eli refuses to be involved. He chances on a town, ruled over by power-hungry Carnegie (Gary Oldman reminiscent of his Dracula in look and manner) who has search parties out looking for a book which will enhance his power and offer him a way to control people and their minds. We soon realise that it is the Bible – copies of which seem to have been destroyed because of the role of religion in the destructive wars.

    Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies Volume 2 | Issue 1 Article 3 2011 Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990’s Hood Film Cycle Timothy J. Edwards University of Western Ontario Abstract No abstract provided. Keywords African-American cinema, Hughes Brothers, Allen Hughes, Albert Hughes, hood film Recommended Citation Edwards, Timothy J. (2011) "Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990’s Hood Film Cycle," Kino: The Western Undergraduate Journal of Film Studies: Vol. 2 : Iss. 1 , Article 3. Edwards: Realer than Real Realer than Reel: Menace II Society and the 1990s Hood Film Cycle by Timothy J. Edwards The convergence of numerous industrial and social factors in the late 1960s saw Hollywood studios for the first time invest in films produced with African-Americans as the target audience. This wave of Black-focused product eventually became known as ‘Blaxploitation’ Cinema. Blaxploitation films use cinematic devices like: location shooting, hand held camera, and sync-sound along with a showcasing of distinctly Black cultural imagery, featuring urban fashion, slang, Black nationalist politics, and of course Black popular music to create a Black ghetto chronotope which is common to all Blaxploitation films (Massood 117). While the Black ghetto chronotope has its roots in Blaxploitation, it has since become an important tool which New Black Cinema directors like the Hughes brothers further develop to depict the streets of Watts with a sharp and uncompromising sense of realism. Allen and Albert Hughes spoke of being “outraged by the Hollywood sentimentality” of the hugely successful Boyz n the Hood (1991), which was released two years before Menace II Society (1993) (Massood 162).
