Tom Hanks: a Tribute November 8-14 the Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Screening Schedule Tom Hanks: A Tribute November 8-14 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Screening Schedule Toy Story. 1995. USA. Directed by John Lasseter. Screenplay by Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen, Alec Sokolow. Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks) is the toy that Andy plays with the most, but when he gets a Buzz Lightyear action figure for his birthday, Andy’s favorite becomes intensely jealous of the clueless spaceman. In the first completely computer-animated feature film, Lasseter and company created two utterly believable, computer-generated worlds—one real, one toy—in a timeless story of friendship and loyalty. 81 min. Tuesday, November 8, 4:30 p.m. T1 Saturday, November 12, 1:30 p.m. T2 Big. 1988. USA. Directed by Penny Marshall. With Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia. Hanks proved his range—and nabbed his first Academy Award nomination—with the role of Josh Baskin, a 12- year-old whose wish to be a grown-up is granted by a haunted carnival game. As the “adult” Josh, Hanks mixes physical humor with genuine glimpses of the vulnerability of adolescence. The biggest success of Hanks’s career to that point, the film also made Penny Marshall the first woman director to surpass $100 million at the box office. Tuesday, November 8, 8:00 p.m. T1 Sunday, November 13, 2:30 p.m. T2 The ’Burbs. 1989. USA. Directed by Joe Dante. With Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman. Unlike fellow suburban fantasist Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante added satirical bite and Looney Tunes slapstick to tales of the uncanny in the American cul-de-sac—most notably in 1984’s monsters- on-Main-Street classic Gremlins. In The ’Burbs, Dante brings his macabre sensibility to the story of Ray Peterson (Hanks), who, along with the other goofballs living on Mayfield Place, investigates the apparent murder of another resident at the hands of some mysterious new neighbors. Hanks, in rare straight-man mode, anchors an ensemble that includes Carrie Fisher as Ray’s beleaguered wife and a terrific Bruce Dern as an unhinged former military man. Wednesday, November 9, 4:30 p.m. T1 Saturday, November 12, 7:30 p.m. T2 Joe Versus the Volcano. 1990. USA. Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley. With Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Lloyd Bridges, Abe Vigoda. Every day Joe trudges to work at the oppressive American Panascope Corporation factory, where he is hounded by his abusive boss and seeks solace in fantasies about the pretty secretary who sits nearby. A committed hypochondriac, Joe is convinced the florescent lights above his desk are killing him. So when Joe’s doctor tells him he has a “brain cloud” and less than six months to live, he quits. Out of nowhere comes the eccentric Mr. Graynamore, who has designs on a tropical island rich in minerals beyond imagination. The only problem is that the island is inhabited by natives who demand a human sacrifice to their sacred volcano before mining can commence. What the heck, Joe is going to die anyway, so he signs on for one final adventure. 102 min. Thursday, November 10, 7:00 p.m. T2 Philadelphia. 1993. USA. Directed by Jonathan Demme. Screenplay by Ron Nyswaner. With Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Antonio Banderas, Roberta Maxwell. In 1993, in the US alone there were more than 40,000 deaths linked to AIDS-related illnesses, yet Philadelphia was the first big Hollywood feature to deal with the epidemic. Tom Hanks, in his second Oscar-winning role, plays attorney Andrew Beckett, who works at a powerful and traditional Philadelphia law firm. When Andrew is diagnosed with AIDS, his anxious employers latch onto a convenient “error”—a missing document for a pending deal— to fire him. When no other firm will take on the wrongful dismissal suit against Andrew’s behemoth employer, he seeks out Joe Miller, the kind of lawyer who advertises on TV and bus benches. Miller is homophobic himself, but he immerses himself in Andrew’s case out of eventual moral outrage. 125 min. Friday, November 11, 4:30 p.m. T1 Saturday, November 12, 5:00 p.m. T1 Bachelor Party. 1984. USA. Directed by Neal Israel. With Tom Hanks, Adrian Zmed, Tawny Kitaen. Thanks to the one-two punch of Splash and Bachelor Party, 1984 was the year Tom Hanks went from beloved TV comic to bona-fide movie star. Bachelor Party has at its core a rousing clarion call: “Let’s have a bachelor party, with chicks, and guns, and fire trucks, and hookers, and drugs, and booze!” Unsurprisingly, it also features all the hallmarks of raunchy 1980s comedy: rampant cocaine abuse, casual homophobia, adolescent sexuality, and animal hijinks both literal and figurative. Yet Hanks, in a breakout performance of effortless, magnetic affability, singlehandedly elevates the proceedings to “genre classic” status. 105 min. Sunday, November 13, 5:30 p.m. T1 A League of Their Own. 1992. USA. Directed by Penny Marshall. Screenplay by Lowell Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, based on a story by Kim Wilson, Kelly Candaele. With Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna. During WWII, a lack of male workers led many US industries to hire women, including sports leagues. The establishment of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in 1943 was a bid to keep pro baseball alive until the war ended and their dedicated fans and players returned. This comedy/drama follows coach Jimmy Duggan (Hanks) as he struggles to develop a team. He has the ace sisters Dottie and Kit, but neither truly believes in her innate talents; Dottie is waiting for her husband to come home and Kit is afraid of her own shadow. Duggan, a heavy drinker whose bad habits got him thrown out of the majors, morphs from a bully to a big-hearted champion of his female players. The film reunited Hanks with Big director Penny Marshall, who creates a visually authentic wartime America and captures the quietly changing role of women as they stepped out of the kitchen and into the larger world. Added to The Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2012. 128 min. Monday, November 14, 4:00 p.m. T2 .

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.

  • Weekend Box Office Results
    Monday, November 16, 2020 | No. 142 Jack Elam was one of the most widely recognized character actors working in film and television during his five- decade career beginning in the 1950’s. Born in Arizona 100 years ago on 11/13/1920, after graduating high school Elam moved to Los Angeles and enrolled in Santa Monica Junior College. After serving two years in the US Navy during WWII, he embarked on a career as an accountant. By chance, Samuel Goldwyn was one of his bookkeeping clients, and Elam was able to parlay the connection into his first role in acting. Elam became well-known for playing villains in dozens of Westerns and gangster stories popular during that period. He played his desperados with an air of crazy, accentuated by his physical appearance. As a youth, Elam lost the use of his left eye after being stabbed in it with a pencil during a fight with another Boy Scout from his troop. Later in his career, Elam played a wider range of roles, including comedic performances in films such as Support your Local Sheriff, Support your Local Gunfighter and The Cannonball Run. The contribution of character actors is often overlooked in Hollywood’s paparazzi culture, lost in the shadow of the bright lights trained on headliners. However, good character actors are highly regarded by their fellow actors, and often enjoy long careers that span decades.

  • There's a New Toy in the House. Uh-Oh
    November 22, 1995 FILM REVIEW: There's a New Toy in the House. Uh-Oh. TOY STORY Directed by John Lasseter; written by Joss Whedon, Andrew Stanton, Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, based on an original story by Mr. Lasseter, Mr. Stanton, Pete Docter and Joe Ranft; supervising technical director, William Reeves; supervising animator, Mr. Docter; edited by Robert Gordon and Lee Unkrich; music by Randy Newman; produced by Ralph Guggenheim and Bonnie Arnold; released by Walt Disney Pictures. Running time: 81 minutes. This film is rated G. WITH THE VOICES OF: Tom Hanks (Woody), Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear), Don Rickles (Mr. Potato Head), Jim Varney (Slinky), Wallace Shawn (Rex), John Ratzenberger (Hamm), Annie Potts (Bo Peep), John Morris (Andy), Erik Von Detten (Sid), Laurie Metcalf (Mrs. Davis), R. Lee Ermey (Sergeant), Sarah Freeman (Hannah) and Penn Jillette (Television Announcer). By JANET MASLIN Raised high above his humble station, Mr. Potato Head is now movie royalty, a star of the sweetest and savviest film of the year. The computer-animated "Toy Story," a parent-tickling delight, is a work of incredible cleverness in the best two-tiered Disney tradition. Children will enjoy a new take on the irresistible idea of toys coming to life. Adults will marvel at a witty script and utterly brilliant anthropomorphism. And maybe no one will even mind what is bound to be a mind-boggling marketing blitz. After all, the toy tie-ins are to old friends. It's a lovely joke that the film's toy characters are charmingly plain (Etch-a-Sketch, plastic soldiers, a dog made out of a Slinky) while its behind-the-scenes technology, under the inspired direction of John Lasseter, could not be more cutting edge.

  • Prodigal Son ​By John Patrick Shanley
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Gus Schulenburg [email protected]​ g | 212­609­5941 May 9, 2016 ​ New from TCG Books: ​ Prodigal Son by John Patrick Shanley ​ NEW YORK, NY – Theatre Communications Group (TCG) is pleased to announce the publication of Prodigal Son by John Patrick Shanley. The play ​ ​ ​ ​ premiered in January of 2016 and is currently in production Off Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club in New York. "A keen, passionate portrait of the author as a poetry­spouting romantic punk torn between literary dreams and his roots in the Bronx... Prodigal Son ​ is pure, splendid Shanley: shaggily idealistic and always scratching a philosophical itch underneath jokes and banter." —David Cote, Time Out New York ​ When a troubled but gifted boy from the South Bronx arrives at a private school in New Hampshire, two faculty members wrestle with how to help him adjust to his new environment. The boy is violent, brilliant, alienated, and on fire with a ferocious loneliness. As with his Pulitzer Prize­winning play, Doubt, John Patrick ​ ​ Shanley has drawn on his personal experiences to create an explosive portrait of a young man on the verge of either salvation or destruction. “Closely modeled on Mr. Shanley’s experiences as a student, Prodigal Son is a hymn to the impossible, ​ ​ combustible and brilliant young thing he once was.” —Ben Brantley, New York Times ​ John Patrick Shanley is the author of Doubt: A Parable (Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Tony Award for Best ​ ​ ​ Play), Outside Mullingar (Tony nomination for Best Play), Defiance, Storefront Church, Danny and the Deep ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Blue Sea, Dirty Story, and many other plays.

    Monday, November 23, 2020 | No. 143 On March 5, 2021, Warner Bros. will release their animated comedy Tom & Jerry, featuring the cartoon characters introduced in 1940 by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and made famous through hundreds of theatrical shorts that MGM distributed to theatres in the 40’s and 50’s to play before their features. During those years, the on-screen feuding between Tom the Cat and Jerry the Mouse matched the popularity of Warner Bros’ famous Looney Toons characters created by Tex Avery, Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng. Since that time, animated characters (Click to Play) featured in cartoon shorts have grown up to become headliners in their own Hollywood blockbusters. As one more example, this week MGM announced plans to produce a modern reimagining of the Pink Panther using live-action/CGI animation, directed by James Fowler, whose prior successes include Sonic the Hedgehog. “Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our star and built the first (Click to Play) phase of our partnership in the movies.” - Joseph Barbera Weekend Box Office Results… 11/20 – 11/22 With Comments by Paul Dergarabedian, Comscore Per Theatre Rank Title Week Theatres Wknd $ Total $ Average $ 1 Freaky (Universal) 2 2,057 1,220,000 593 5,592,295 2 The War With Grandpa (101 Studios) 7 1,688 733,067 434 16,182,660 3 Let Him Go (Focus Features) 3 1,907 710,000 372 7,929,300 4 Come Play (Focus Features) 4 1,364 550,000 403 8,054,665 5 The Santa Clause - 2020 Re-release (Disney) 1 1,581 461,000 292 461,000 6 Honest Thief (Open
