  • We've Been All Over out Here. Virgil Gets Hired to Settle Things Down in Towns That Need Settling, and I Go with Him.
    We’ve been all over out here. Virgil gets hired to settle things down in towns that need settling, and I go with him. -- Everett Hitch Oscar nominee Viggo Mortensen (“Eastern Promises”), four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris (“Pollock”), Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger (“Cold Mountain”) and Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons (“Reversal of Fortune”) star in the Western “Appaloosa,” adapted from the Robert B. Parker novel. Set in 1882 in the Old West territory of New Mexico, “Appaloosa” revolves around city marshal Virgil Cole (Harris) and his deputy and partner Everett Hitch (Mortensen), who have made their reputation as peacekeepers in the lawless towns springing up in the untamed land. In the small mining community of Appaloosa, a ruthless, powerful rancher named Randall Bragg (Irons) has allowed his band of outlaws to run roughshod over the town. After the cold-blooded murder of Appaloosa’s city marshal, Cole and Hitch are hired to bring the murderer to justice. While establishing new authority with equal parts grit and guns, Cole and Hitch meet provocative newcomer Allison French (Zellweger), whose unconventional ways threaten to undermine their progress and to destroy the two lawmen’s decade-old partnership. New Line Cinema presents in association with Axon Films, a Groundswell Production of an Ed Harris film, “Appaloosa,” starring Viggo Mortensen, Ed Harris, Renée Zellweger, Jeremy Irons, Timothy Spall and Lance Henriksen. The film was directed by Ed Harris from a screenplay by Robert Knott & Ed Harris, based on the novel by Robert B. Parker. Harris, Knott and Ginger Sledge produced the film, with Michael London, Cotty Chubb, Toby Emmerich and Sam Brown serving as executive producers.

    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.

    16 AUG 19 26 SEP 19 1 | 16 AUG 19 - 26 SEP 19 49 BELMONT STREET | BELMONTFILMHOUSE.COM It’s amazing to think that in the last intro I rather skited over Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood. It was released on the second last day of the July/August schedule. It’s not that it became an afterthought... there were just so many other films to write about. A common problem here! In this brochure, it begins its first full week of release. A few more weeks of hype has allowed Twitter to dissolve into reappraisals of Tarantino’s back catalogue, which can only suggest one thing - Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood might be worth the hype, especially if you are shuffling around the likes of Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction to accommodate it in QT’s Top 5. If your memory needs refreshing or you have a few you’ve not yet managed to see, we’re hosting a Tarantino mini-season in Kino Bar with four of his own, plus two he gave away, From Dusk Till Dawn and Natural Born Killers. Pain and Glory marks the return of another director with a long legacy, Pedro Almodóvar, and his semi-autobiographical film sees a terrific Antonio Banderas plays an aging film director in creative malaise, reflecting upon his life, career and memories. We’ve also got a few outrageously interesting documentaries this month. Stand-outs include Hail Satan?, in which ‘Satanists’ rally for progressive values and the separation of Church and State in the USA; Gaza, a deeply moving film documenting normal lives in a distinctly un-normal, war-torn state; and the film nerd’s dream Memory: The Origins of Alien.
