  • FILM REVIEW Moonlight, Directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF JUNGIAN STUDIES, 2018 VOL. 10, NO. 1, 83–89 FILM REVIEW Moonlight, directed by Barry Jenkins, USA, Altitude Films, 2016, 1 hour 55 minutes Spring is often synonymous with Oscar season, but it is some considered reflection on the 2017 Best Picture that is necessary one year on. If it is news to you that Moonlight won the Oscar last year, then you are not alone. It is certainly among the least-marketed Oscar winners in recent decades. If you do know about the film, it is likely that it is in the context of its two-way fight for the prize with another more popular film, or perhaps from news coverage of a dramatic mishap on Oscars’ night. The film was the modern musical La La Land and the mix-up was the result of the wrong envelope being given and that the film’s name being read out instead of the winner Moonlight. A male employee from PricewaterhouseCooper’s – who administer the envelopes – is thought to have mistakenly given a duplicate Best Actress envelope (already won by Emma Stone for La La Land) to Warren Beatty. In a familiar commentary on the expectations social media places on creative industries personnel, it is possible the employee, Brian Cullinan, could have been distracted by his Tweeted picture of Stone moments before handing over the envelope. The event overshadowed much mainstream serious discussion of the film and did little to tempt staunch supporters of La La Land to see it. There are films that are designed to win Oscars and appeal to the middle-range, but it is difficult to suggest Moonlight is one of them, even with some of its missed opportunities to push the envelope of homosexual encoun- ters than those previously seen on mainstream US silver screens.

  • The Forgiving Blue
    THE FORGIVING BLUE Lynn Fong nterspersed in the gentle lapping of ocean waves, a few tense notes of a violin crescendo as Chiron, the protagonist of Barry Jenkins’s film Moonlight , learns to swim. The water is a soft turquoise. The camera bobs along with it, pulled up and down Iand sometimes partially obscured by the waves. We, the audience, are right there with little Chiron as he experiences the waters of Miami for the first time. Juan, Chiron’s newfound, unlikely mentor, is hold - ing up Chiron’s small head while he teaches him to float. “You’re in the middle of the world,” Juan tells Chiron. The two are framed only by the turquoise water and a light blue sky. Juan demonstrates arm movements: “Go like this,” he instructs, “more athletic.” Chiron mimics him as he learns to paddle. Finally, Juan releases Chiron so he can swim on his own. “Go,” Juan says, and Chiron begins paddling by himself. Then, Chiron is alone. The music slows and fades away. He is indeed in the middle of the world as he swims, unaccompanied, unafraid, and free. Moonlight , which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2017, is a coming-of-age story. More specifically, it documents three stages in the life of Chiron, a young, gay black man growing up in an impoverished area of Miami. Even more specifically, the film offers an empathetic lens into the most intimate, defining moments of Chiron’s life: learning how to swim, putting a blanket on his drugged- out mother, reuniting with someone he’s loved after years of estrange - ment.

  • Film Reviews
    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.

  • Emma Stone Is Dating Spider-Man Co-Star Andrew Garfield
    Emma Stone Is Dating Spider- Man Co-Star Andrew Garfield It looks like these co-workers have no problem dating!The Amazing Spider-Man movie brought together an “amazing” spark between co-stars Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, according to UsMagazine.com. “They got close during filming and have been hooking up,” said an anonymous source. However, the two seem to want to keep their relationship private. It turns out that Garfield’s recent three-year relationship with actress Shannon Woodward is still a fresh wound. Why not avoid drama if at all possible? What are the benefits of keeping your new relationship from your ex? Cupid’s Advice: Though the “oo’s” and “aww’s” can be flattering when you and your partner happily expose your relationship to the public, timing is key. Cupid has some thoughts on why keeping your relationship from your ex may be the best thing for now: 1. Army material: Your ex may be ready for a fight. That is, he or she might not be afraid to lash out at your newest love interest. Keep that from happening at all costs. 2. Secrets: We all have secrets, even though sometimes we’d like to forget some of them. Your ex-partner might be feeling bitter and vengeful after your breakup. To keep him or her from being tempted to let loose all of your secrets to your new flame, keep the news of the relationship to yourself for a while. 3. Trust: Building trust is easier for your partner if no worrying is necessary.

    A Dollop of Clint Eastwood: Subjective Scores for 10 Random Movies By Gary Heartsill May 1, 2021 1 The Mule (2018) Clint Eastwood acted, directed, and produced. (1:56:23) With Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Pena, Dianne Wiest, Andy Garcia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc5AWImplfE Score 9.2 Don't let the old man in, I wanna leave this alone1 Can't leave it up to him, he's knocking on my door And I knew all of my life, that someday it would end Get up and go outside, don't let the old man in Saw in the credits the name Jan Hartsell, who was the ‘Beauty School Admin’ and Iris was played by Alison Eastwood – for what that is worth. The Dykes on Bikes comment was great. This movie is done well, meaning it is enjoyable to watch especially with the apprehension of what is going to happen next. Course, the whole theme is in Toby’s song and I have heard Clint remark to someone when he was asked what the movie was about he said “Don’t let the old man in.” He finally figured out he would have to pay the price for doing all his driving. Am kinda glad we didn’t see too much of the bad guys doing what they do to folks who don’t deliver. And deliver he did. Everyone will have gone down the road with him singing his songs and celebrating when he opened the glove to get his keys and manilla envelope. For some it will be easy to see what this ole Mule really was doing.
