Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release the Harrison Ford 5 ​ Film Collection, three of which are brand new to Blu­ray. ​ ABOUT THE FILMS 42 (2013) Written and directed by Brian Helgeland (Legend, LA Confidential) this is the inspiring true story of ​ ​ the man who broke the Major League baseball colour barrier, Jackie Robinson, with Ford starring as the man who signed him, Branch Rickey.

Frantic (1988) Directed by Roman Polanski, this superb thriller, a forerunner to the Liam Neeson Taken films, ​ ​ sees Harrison Ford as a doctor whose wife disappears from their hotel room during a trip to Paris. What follows is a nightmarish journey into the underbelly of the city as Ford attempts to find out Page 2 what has happened to her.

  • Little Big Man by Kimberly Lindbergs
    Little Big Man By Kimberly Lindbergs Few film genres have captured the imagination of movie audiences with the same kind of power and persua- siveness as the American western. For decades Hollywood mixed facts with fiction and created a kind of cel- luloid mythology that made heroes out of cowboys, would-be settlers and the U.S. Cavalry. This myth- making led to the vilifying of Native Americans but in 1970 that changed. “Little Big Man” (1970) chronicles the long and troubled history of Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman), a 121-year- Mrs. Pendrake (Faye Dunaway) bathes Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman).

    FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM COGS108 Final Project Group Members: Yanyi Wang Ziwen Zeng Lingfei Lu Yuhan Wang Yuqing Deng Introduction and Background Movie revenue is one of the most important measure of good and bad movies. Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

Marshall , the narrow-minded bigot Ed Begley , the self-made businessman and troubled parent Lee J. Jeanne Carmen and Bob Hope are separated September 22, July 7, Leave a comment. Many of our greatest genre filmmakers have done exactly the same thing—amplifying fears already embedded in the human condition for the purpose of movie horror. Time, and our interaction with time, and the way in which we are all ultimately overmatched and worn down by time, and the notion of cinema as a means of sculpting with time: these and other aspects of temporality are at the heart of ""Boyhood. Bernstein, the mogul's business wizard; Ray Collins as Gettys, the corrupt political boss, and Agnes Moorehead as the boy's forbidding mother. The storytelling is mostly visual. The score is by Hans Zimmer, one of his better ones. If I were bold enough to reedit Hitchcock's film, I would include only the doctor's first explanation of Norman's dual personality: ""Norman Bates no longer exists. This makes sense when you think about how nostalgia—which is what Riley is mostly feeling as she remembers her Minnesota past—combines these two feelings. That explains the dance: He doesn't mind getting wet, because he's besotted with romance.

An article defending the petition states: “With so few movie heroes in the US being people of color, non-white children receive a very different message from Hollywood, one that too often relegates them to sidekicks, villains, or background players.”1 Additional examples of such outcries over recent miscasting include Johnny Depp as Tonto in The Lone Ranger (2013), as well as, to a lesser extent, Benicio Del Toro as Jimmy Picard in Arnaud Desplechins’s Jimmy P.: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian (2013).2 Neither the problem nor the outcry are new. Many studies have shown why the movie industry has often employed non-Indian actors to portray Indian characters.
