Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a sceneforscene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a reimagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of nonEnglish language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its evergrowing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man. -
Switchblade Comb" by Mobius Vanchocstraw
00:00:00 Music Music "Switchblade Comb" by Mobius VanChocStraw. A jaunty, jazzy tune reminiscent of the opening theme of a movie. Music continues at a lower volume as April introduces herself and her guest, and then it fades out. 00:00:08 April Wolfe Host Welcome to Switchblade Sisters, where women get together to slice and dice our favorite action and genre films. I'm April Wolfe. Every week, I invite a new female filmmaker on—a writer, director, actor, or producer—and we talk in-depth about one of their fave genre films, perhaps one that influenced their own work in some small way, and today I'm very excited to have writer-director Alice Waddington here with me. Hi, Alice! 00:00:28 Alice Guest Hi, April! How are you? Waddington [Music fades out.] 00:00:30 April Host Oh, I'm quite well. [Alice laughs.] Despite fires raging. 00:00:32 Alice Guest Oh my goodness. 00:00:33 April Host But I gotta say your pink jumpsuit—pink corduroy jumpsuit is really livening up the place. 00:00:39 Alice Guest [Laughs.] Thank you so much. I'm—you know, I am on my Logan's Run stuff already. So. [Laughs.] 00:00:44 April Host Absolutely. I mean, Halloween should be year-round. [Alice laughs.] Okay, so for those of you who are not as familiar with Alice's work, please let me give you an introduction. Alice Waddington was born in a rural background, but she was raised in the big city of Bilbao, Spain. -
Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (Part 2) a Man, a Colt the MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews
Issue #72 Summer / Fall 2008 Lars Bloch Interview (part 2) A Man, a Colt The MGM Rolling Road Show Latest DVD Reviews WAI! #72 THE SWINGIN’ DOORS April and May were months that took a number of well known actors of the Spaghetti western genre: Jacques Berthier, Robert Hundar, John Phillip Law and Tano Cimarosa were all well known names in the genre. Of course we should expect as much since these people are now well into their 70s and even 80s. Still in our minds they are young vibrant actors who we see over and over again on video and DVD. It’s hard to realize that it’s been 40+ years since Sergio Leone kicked off the Spaghetti western craze and launched a world wide revolution in film that we still see influencing films today. Hard to believe Clint Eastwood turned 78 on May 30th. Seems like only yesterday he was the ‘Man with No Name’ and starring in the first of the Leone films that launched the genre. Remember when Clint was criticized so badly as an actor and for the films he appeared in during the 60s and 70s. Now he’s revered in Hollywood because he’s outlived his critics. I guess we recognized a real star long before the critics did. A great idea came to Tim League’s mind in the launching of the “Rolling Road Show”, where films are actually shown where they were filmed. I wasn’t able to travel to Spain to see the Dollars trilogy but we have a nice review of the films and the experience by someone who was there. -

He fanta- sized about what it would be like for a whiff of adventure to breeze through his humdrum little burg. On a sticky June afternoon in 1981 he found a vehicle for his wanderlust in the darkness of a local movie theater. He watched, jawCOPYRIGHTED agape, as Harrison Ford outran MATERIAL a rolling boulder, dodged a swarm of blow darts, and dangled over a pit of slithering snakes in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Chris Strompolos was blown away. The movie captured his imagination like nothing he had ever encountered. He thought, I want to do that. And so he did. Chris first mentioned his outlandish idea to an older kid, Eric Zala, a seventh-grader at their school in Gulfport. Chris did not suggest a quick 7 c01.qxd 2/28/05 1:39 PM Page 8 8 ❘ DARKNET and easy backyard tribute to Raiders that they could pull off on a summer weekend. Oh, no. He proposed shooting a scene-by-scene re-creation of the entire movie. He wanted to create a pull-out-all-the-stops remake of Steven Spielberg’s instant blockbuster, which was filmed on a $20 million budget and made $242 million in U.S. movie theaters. Chris and Eric agreed they would have to cut a few corners, given their somewhat more modest savings account, but, yes, of course they could do it! Eric, a budding cartoonist, began sketching out costumes for each of the characters. -

Bakalářská Práce
Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Katedra filmových studií Bakalářská práce Bc. Jiří Blažek Exploatace Víta Olmera: Bulvární zrcadlo polistopadové společnosti Vitus Olmer's exploitation: A Sensationalistic View of Post-communist Society Praha 2015 Vedoucí práce: PhDr. David Čeněk Poděkování: V prvé řadě patří poděkování vedoucímu práce PhDr. Davidu Čeňkovi, za odborné vedení mého výzkumného záměru. Rovněţ bych chtěl poděkovat Jiřímu Flíglovi, za jeho inspirativní uvedení fenoménu exploatace do českého polistopadového prostoru. Můj vděk dále patří zbytku pedagogického sboru; jedině díky jejich individuálnímu a odbornému přístupu jsem získal potřebný rozhled a oborové znalosti. Poděkovat se sluší i mým ročníkovým kolegům; naše pestré rozpravy mi dodaly nejednu inspiraci i určující impuls, jakým směrem bych chtěl vést svůj odborný zájem. Nakonec chci ale poděkovat hlavně své rodině, bez jejíţ neutuchající podpory bych nebyl tam, kde jsem nyní. Prohlášení: Prohlašuji, ţe jsem tuto diplomovou práci vypracoval samostatně a výhradně s pouţitím citovaných pramenů, literatury a dalších odborných zdrojů. V Praze, dne 15. ledna 2015 ………………………….. ABSTRAKT Bakalářská práce se soustředí na filmovou exploataci jako bulvární fenomén. Případovým modelem výzkumu je polistopadová produkce Víta Olmera vymezená roky 1990 – 1995 nejpříznačněji odráţející nové tvůrčí demokratické podmínky, jeţ Olmer účinně zuţitkoval ve svůj prospěch, a stal se jedním z nejproduktivnějších filmařů své doby. První část analýzy mapuje status exploatačního filmu v zahraniční akademické obci a s pomocí východisek Pierra Bourdieua objasňuje, jak se logika „dobrého vkusu“ podepsala na přístupu k „nevkusné kinematografii“, jejím výzkumu, a v neposlední řadě, na postojích samotných badatelů. Následně kapitola poskytuje obecný přehled obtíţných úloh přímo vzešlých z problematické pozice exploatace ve filmových studiích, k nejzásadnější z nich patří zřídkakdy teoreticky reflektovaná samotná identita exploatačního filmu, kterou vyznačuje výrazná roztroušenost. -
