The success of the series that led to her award is a direct correlation to the large crowds that the film attracted when it made its debut in 2008. What is astounding, is that in 2007 only five of the fifty top grossing movies in American had a woman as a lead character , so not surprisingly critics throughout the nation were stunned at the great success the film Sex and the City had on its opening weekend. While critics were astounded, loyal fans predicted the success. The popularity of the film may perhaps be indicative of the times . This film came three years after the season finale of the HBO series also titled, Sex and the City . The series began at the peak of an ambitious female generation, empowered by third wave, and post-modern feminist movements. It may be that the emergence of a series that features the lives of four New York City women whose motto is to “do it like a man,” is the reason for the incredible following the series has had since its public debut.

  • The Representation of Gender Roles in the Media
    The representation of gender roles in the media - An analysis of gender discourse in Sex and the City movies Therese Ottosson Xin Cheng Supervisor: Fredrik Sunnemark Examiner: Ann Towns Bachelor’s thesis in Political Science 15 ECTS Department of Economics and Informatics University West Spring term 2012 Abstract Media is a big part of people‘s everyday lives. It influences both how we see ourselves and the world to some extent. There are many different types of media, for example: television shows, movies, the radio, news papers, advertisements which are placed in random places and the internet. In these different forms of media, there are images of men and women, which are represented in different ways and with different characteristics. Research has been made on a lot of movies and television shows and this thesis will be adding to this vast amount of research by analyzing gender representation in the movies Sex and the City 1 and 2. By using discourse analysis, the results show different types of gender representation and whether the characters in Sex and the City challenge the patriarchal privilege. Assuming social constructivism, we believe that these images of gender representation in movies affect our perception of what a man or a woman is. Our results suggest that the characters do still follow the patriarchal privilege but some characters do on occasion challenge them. However the outcome is rarely successful.

Adobe Premiere Pro transformed the industry and outclassed old-style systems that force you to think about A and B roll and toggle between windows. It was a different school of thought—one that supports the fluid way today’s new filmmaking breed thinks.” “Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 is so incredibly stable—and with native 64-bit support, I found myself sitting there saying ‘Wow’ at its amazing performance.” Sharlto Copley Actor and filmmaker Challenge An Adobe Premiere Pro veteran • Gain more creative control in Copley has used Adobe Premiere Pro for years, but he is more devoted and enthusiastic than ever now filmmaking that he is using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.

  • District 9 – a Little Known Fact About the Faculty of Veterinary Science and the Movie
    District 9 – A little known fact about the Faculty of Veterinary Science and the movie By CvB Posted on 28 August 2009 Image: D-9.com District 9, the new film by the renowned film producer and Oscar-winning director, Peter Jackson, who was responsible for the production and special effects of movies such as King Kong and Lord of the Rings, is released on the big screen by Ster Kinekor today. Not many people know that some of the scenes for the movie were filmed at the Faculty of Veterinary Science of the University of Pretoria in December 2008. The filming involved one of its Anatomy halls that was converted in a sci-fi biomedical laboratory with, among other things, a space-technology sliding door, and the Anatomy museum, while some equipment from the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital (OVAH) and the Biomedical Research Centre were also utilized. A pulsating atmosphere existed on the set in the week during which actors, crew-members and technical personnel spent time on the campus while life-like 7-feet aliens were ‘hanging around’. The movie not only features some South African settings but is mainly set in Johannesburg as the city that is being invaded by aliens from space. As we all know, South African born Neill Blomkamp, who was also present on the set during filming at the campus, was the Director while fellow South African, Sharlto Copley, plays the lead role. According to the preliminary reviews by critics this promises to be an excellent movie with amazing special effects that were executed to perfection.

    THERE’S A NEW MO’ IN TOWN! Wednesday November 24: First it was Mr. T, now Mr. E is standing up for men’s rights to sport a Mohawk! The newly crowned Mr England, Vaughan Bailey, has joined forces with The A-Team and celebrity groomer Jason Shankey to ensure November is the month of the Mohawk! Thanks to all-action hardman BA Baracus in The A-Team and a whole host of manly celebrities, from Jared Leto to David Beckham, more and more British men are getting Mo’d up, as ‘the Hawk’ makes its mark as one of the styles for 2011. First sported by Mr T in the original A-Team series, it has taken Mr. England to re-launch the funky cut, inspired by the new film version of The A-Team. Bailey, who was crowned Mr England in September, went from Hobo to Hunk, having been plucked from a life on the streets to be crowned Mr. England, and cites BA Baracus as one of his inspirations. Now he is fronting the campaign with celebrity groomer Jason Shankey, who is offering free Mohawks to anyone feeling manly enough to ask for a ‘BA’ on Friday 26 November. All those who take up the offer will also be rewarded with £5 off the A-Team on Blu-ray when it is released on Monday 29th November. Shankey, whose Fulham salon sees some of London’s coolest celebrities through its doors in London’s most happening district, has seen a huge rise in the demand for Mohawks this year.

Understanding Tony Scott: Authorship and Post-Classical Hollywood Robert Arnett Few directors represent post-classical Hollywood cinema better than Tony Scott. His Hollywood career arcs from the 1980s and the iconic Top Gun (1984) to 2010, with the underrated Unstoppable. Scott’s films innovated the fragmentation and excessiveness of the post-classical Hollywood films, including the ability to overwhelm to an extent that negates for many critics and academics the possibility of any substance. Of Tony Scott, David Thomson, in his massive The New Biographical Dictionary o f Film (2003), managed about 100— dismissive—words, issuing, in effect, a challenge: those that see something in Tony Scott have “the advantage over me” (794).1 What Thomson and others fail to see in Tony Scott’s all-too-short career is a Hollywood director with a distinct authorship in the post-classical context.
