SYNOPSIS The Central Park Effect reveals the extraordinary array of wild birds who grace Manhattan’s celebrated patch of green and the equally colorful, full-of-attitude New Yorkers who schedule their lives around the rhythms of migration. The film focuses on seven main characters who regularly visit the Park and have found a profound connection with this hidden natural world. Movie-star handsome Chris Cooper dodges the morning rush hour traffic on bustling Central Park West, his binoculars knocking against his leather bomber jacket as he ducks into the Park. “My friends mock me for what I do in the spring because – they know from experience. From April 15 until Memorial Day, they won’t see me. Because I’m birding!” Anya Auerbach, a radiant fashion-averse teenager, admits that “I take my binoculars pretty much everywhere – except school.” Acclaimed author Jonathan Franzen recalls that he walked through Central Park almost daily for seven years, noticing only the pigeons and sparrows. Then one day, friends invited him to come along with them on a tour of the Park’s famous Ramble section and handed him a pair of binoculars.

  • Hoffman Shines in Powerful Capote W Seth Motel W Editor in Chief You Know a Movie Is Good When the Only Major Complaint About It Is Its Misleading Title
    February 10, 2006 Hoffman shines in powerful Capote w Seth Motel w Editor in Chief You know a movie is good when the only major complaint about it is its misleading title. Capote is not a biography of legendary author Truman Capote, but rather a mixture of character study and the process of writing a book. And that’s where the criticism ends. Unlike 2004’s Ray, Capote only follows the author for a few years in his life in which he’s gathering research for his groundbreaking “nonfiction novel,”In Cold Blood. The six years he spends researching and writing it wipes him out, as his investigation of the murder leads to an emotional conflict. Capote is portrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffman (Almost Famous) in what may be the best performance of the year. The only un-Capote-like thing about Hoffman is his six-and-a-half inch height advantage over the real one. Outside of that facet, Hoffman is hauntingly spectacular. He goes on a trek to Kansas to interview the suspected murderers in a particularly brutal slaying. He takes along lifelong friend and To Kill a Mockingbird scribe Harper Lee (Catherine Keener) to help him get inside the head of the supposed cold-blood killers. What Truman expects to be a piece for The New Yorker becomes a project he works on for six years. The prisoners keep getting stays of execution, eliminating any possibility of him completing the book. More of a dilemma for Truman is his friendship (some real-life critics argue that it was a love affair) with one of the prisoners (Clifton Collins, Jr.

    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.

  • The Company Men Written & Directed by John Wells Principal Actors: Ben Affleck with Chris Cooper & Tommy Lee Jones
    The Company Men Written & Directed by John Wells Principal Actors: Ben Affleck with Chris Cooper & Tommy Lee Jones By Guest Critic Patrick McDonald SPECIAL FOR FILMS FOR TWO© Synopsis: Ripped from recent headlines, The Company Men portrays the effect of “the Great Recession” of 2008 on three men (played by Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper and Tommy Lee Jones) and their families. John Wells, known primarily as the executive producer of groundbreaking television series like ER and The West Wing, makes his feature film debut. Pat’s Review: In dealing with the overall economic downturn of 2008 (the one the world is still experiencing), The Company Men presents three individuals facing long droughts of joblessness. The frustration and insecurity that develops through this is poignantly rendered in writer/director John Wells’ The Company Men. Wells frames his narrative through these characters, all at different levels of one company, plagued with the backlash of a falling stock price, lost business and too many “human units” for the company to “support.” It’s time to downsize. Ben Affleck is “Bobby Walker,” a happy-go-lucky director of sales for a Boston shipping company. On a day when the news is ominous (the chirpy morning shows having to mournfully report on the potential economic collapse in America 2007), Bobby is simply going to work. But when he arrives, he is called on the carpet; his position has been eliminated. Behind Bobby’s firing is the power base of the company: founders “Gene McClary” (Tommy Lee Jones) and “Jim Salinger” (Craig T. Nelson). Gene, a plain speaker who tells it like it is, tries to be pragmatic regarding the circumstances.
