Yay!  The Comcast Outdoor Film Festival, North Bethesda, MD is such an awesome annual event.  Not only do viewers get to enjoy 10 days in a row of great movies for adults and children alike but it's free!  That's right!  You get to sit outside under the warm night sky and watch a great movie with hundreds of your closest friends!  Let me explain a bit more of how the film festival program works.

The grounds are open to the public but nothing is available to eat or drink until 6:30.  Local restaurants and patrons provide all kinds of goodies from hot dogs, pizzas, cotton candy and ice cream!  And the local restaurants include names like Baja Fresh and Hard Times Cafe!  How awesome is that?  Great movies and quality food!  I know what you're thinking – but it's supposed to be free!  Well, you'll be happy to know that part of the proceeds are going towards a great cause.  Comcast has teamed up with a number of different charities and are donating a portion of the proceeds to the NIH Children's Charities – Children's Inn, Camp Fantastic/Special Love, and Friends of the Clinical Center.  If that won't make you buy more popcorn, I don't know what will.  

The movie itself starts at 8:30 and that time stays the same for each day the film festival is showing a movie.  There are a few things to keep in mind when planning on coming to a showing.  Try to be there early!  I would suggest being there within an hour but no later than a half hour before the movie.  Parking has become a bit of a problem.  The past few years the public was allowed to park at the metro right next to Strathmore Hall (the location of the film festival) and is right off of Rockville Pike.  However, last year, the only way you could park in there was to buy a metro pass.  Although that is an option, it might be better to park on the side street of the neighborhood within walking distance of the metro.  This way, you won't have to pay a dime and will get five extra minutes of exercise walking to the field where the movie will be shown.

Also, because the Comcast Film Festival, North Bethesda, MD is held on a grassy field, make sure to bring a blanket or better yet, a low slung chair to watch the movie in.  Make sure to get something portable so you won't feel the pains of lugging a huge chair back and forth from your car to the field.  Also, a comfortable blanket and chair would be key since you will more than likely be watching a movie that's two hours long or more.  

Anothoer note – I didn't notice a huge mosquito of fly problem but I would still suggest wearing an insect repellent just to be on the safe side.  Because of all the food and drinks available, there may be a chance of getting bit and no one wants that!

Other than that, this film festival is great because it's free and they show great movies!  Another plus is that they do show kids movies so it's great to take your whole family!  The movies usually range from kids animation to classics to movies that are a bit more on the adult side.  Make sure to check out the listing of what they are showing so you know when to take your kids before exposing them to a movie that may be a bit too adult for their taste.  This year, there are a number of great films I'm sure you'd be excited to see, such as, Maltese Falcon, Madagascar, King Kong, Walk the Line and my ultimate favorite, Batman Begins.  I can't wait to watch The Dark Knight on the big screen once again!

The complete 10-day movie listing can be found on the following website: www.filmfestnih.org.  Included on this site is a phone number if you have any further questions, however, the website should be able to answer any questions that you may have.

Make sure to take advantage of this film festival as it's only over the course of 10 days and it's only one time a year!  Don't miss it!  See you out there!

I know it can be a bit difficult to decide on a movie for Saturday night. That is why I have made this list of must-see movies. I hope it helps you in your decisions. This list is made up of horror movies from 1920 up until 1960. I left out all the bad ones and just listed the goodies. So hold on tight, grab the popcorn and don’t forget it’s just a movie.

Top Horror Movies of All Time (1920-1960)

Nosferatu, A symphony of terror (1922) – This is one of the earliest adaptations of Bram Stokers famous Count Dracula. The movie follows the odd infatuation of a mad man. Oddly, there is some debate on whether or not this movie was actually a piece of the Nazi propaganda machine and the Count Orloc character is actually a representation of Lenin. Well, I guess you’ll have to watch the movie and decide for yourself.

The Phantom of the Opera (1925) – This movie is a classic love story in which a famous opera singer is forced to relinquish her role in an upcoming opera to an unknown by a phantom that lives in the opera house. The phantom does this because he is in love with the unknown singer. There have been over a dozen versions of this tale but the 1925 version is by far the best.

Freaks (1930) – A horror movie set around circus freaks. In this movie we see a complex and deadly love triangle in which a trapeze artist schemes with her lover to cheat a midget out of his inheritance money. One of the earliest movies to focus on deformities, it was banned in many countries because of its characters disfigurements.

King Kong (1933) – A group of explorers discover a giant ape on an out of the way island. When the ape is brought to New York it escapes and begins ruining the city in search of the woman who discovered the ape. This movie has been remade and has many sequels but I promise you none come close to capturing the essence of the original.

Bride of Frankenstein (1935) – We now find out that the doctor and his beast were not killed and Frankenstein is now again on the loose. The good doctor must now create a bride for his monster. In this movie the monster becomes even more real than in the original. He is shown as more victim than monster.

Dead of Night (1945) – An architect meets with some colleagues only to discover he has dreamt the meeting all before. Slowly he realizes the point where the dream becomes nightmare so he is able to avoid it. This movie, wrote by H. G. Wells, is a classic if not for the tale then certainly for the cast.

Les Deaboliques (1955) – A plot to murder a tyrannical schoolmaster by his wife and mistress becomes a long and tangled tale. This French classic is said to have influenced Alfred Hitchcock’s movie Psycho. It is full of unpredictable twists and devastating realizations.

Dracula (1958) – A young boy is sent to catalog Dracula’s library. Dracula soon finds out that the young boy is actually meant to kill him. After the attempt fails Dracula leaves in search of the boy’s family and friends. Deemed a classic for its performances given by the leading actors.

Psycho (1960) – A young woman stops to spend the night with a shy young man who is having troubles with his mother. The shocking revelation will get you thinking. Alfred Hitchcock’s classic loses no meaning with time.

The holidays are about spending time with friends and family. It's about tradition and the spirit of giving.  But, In my family we have traditional movies that we watch every holiday season.  It's a time for us to get together, eat good food, and laugh our heads off at the classic holiday  movies.  

My friends and I often challenge each other on the dialogue, trying to see who knows what movie the best.  It's just a great inexpensive way to add a little fun to the holiday gatherings.  The holidays just wouldn't be the same without the following movies.  These are my top pics for the best holiday movies ever!! These films are family oriented and some are even a bit dysfunctional, as most families are.

5. Christmas Vacation- This movie is a Chevy Chase classic!! The plot of the movie centers around the dreaded scenario of the disfunctional family, in laws, and unexpected distant relatives.  Clark Griswold anxiously awaits the arrival of a bonus check while the entire house runs in chaos. There is even an unexpected abduction courtesy of one of the relatives. This does contain some language content, but it's definitely worth watching.

4. Home Alone- Little Kevin wishes his family would dissapear and they do.  He is left home by accident during Christmas. He has to defend the home from would-be crooks. This movie is full of antics and hilarity. Its comedic cast is outstanding. This is a great family movie.

3. A Muppet Christmas Carol- A classic story by Charles Dickens portrayed through the eyes of Jim Henson. The muppets narrate the story and interact with the other characters. The cast is well chosen and the muppets are a hilarious addition to the story. Kids will love this movie, as will adults.

2. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer- This is one of my all time favorite Holiday Movies! Burl Ives is the loveable snowman who narrates the story and sings classic Christmas Songs. This early claymation film has endured the test of time and is still a timeless orginal. Rudolph and Yukon Cornelius and the misfit elf set out on their own because they don't fit in.  They find an island of misfit toys and then return to save Christmas. In the end Rudolph realizes his unique nose has a purpose as does everyone who felt they did not fit in. 

1. The Wizard of Oz- “There's no place like home…” I have loved this movie since I was a child. I still love it today. It is whimsical and beautiful. It deals with the classic elements of doubt, fear and the ability to overcome. Judy Garland plays young Dorothy who runs away from home. She ends up in the mystical land of Oz and picks up a few friends along the way. She is searching to find her way home to Kansas. She has to face her fears and destroy the Wicked Witch of the West in order for her to return home. The movie has a lot of hidden elements that psychological and personal to everyone.

Emergence of ‘womanist’ cinema

Women in Senegal have emerged from a society of rigid religious, cultural, and social traditions. They are the pillars of the community, however they are not recognized as such in the post-colonial societies plagued by the reign of patriarchy. [In mainstream West African Cinema] “there are almost no positive heroines. Film-makers are quick to show us the examples that must not be followed, but rarely do they present women with their qualities as well as faults without judging them.”  African feminist filmmaker Ousmane Sembene challenges the notions that the women of African Cinema are misrepresented by the male gaze of directors.  He is a strong advocate for socialism, egalitarianism, Pan-Africanism, and the liberation of the psychologically enslaved Africans who cannot “see”, “hear”, nor “speak” for themselves. His films show the heroism of women once entrapped by patriarchy, family structure, religious hegemony, traditional customs, and male prejudice. The majority of Sembene’s films focus on courageous, resisting women who fight to survive at the face of patriarchal adversity or refuse to accept the traditions that oppress them. 

The women of Sembene’s films are not victims of their reality, instead they take proactive roles in altering their destinies for emancipation even if the action proves tragic.  The heroines in Sembene’s films evolve as he transforms and matures as a skilled director. From Diouana to Rama to Faat Kine, the women gain stronger voices and more control of their destinies in post-colonial Senegal as Sembene’s career ripens.  How do the female characters in comparison to the greater society and their male counterparts articulate what he perceives about the emancipation of a post-colonial Senegal at large?  As Sembene constructs new representations of women he also provides uncompromising critiques of patriarchal male characters, who do not alter their chauvinistic and sexist prerogatives.  His works appear to prioritize the female point of view thus, taking a feminist or “womanist” stance on what it means for Africa to be a liberated nation. Sembene’s works reflect his observations that  “Africa can’t develop without the participation of her women…we are still searching for our destiny as Africans. Yet in the society we are going to build, women will play an important role.”

Sixteen Years of Alcohol is a British Film depicting an alcoholic's struggle to come to terms with the two conflicting sides of himself:  the violent addict and the passionate idealist.  It’s shot in Edinburgh, Scottland with absolutely beautiful cinematography and begins with the middle Aged Frankie Mac (Kevin McKidd) being beaten and kicked in an alley.  The rest of the movie takes places in a dream like state with Frankie looking back on his life.  The Director/Writer Richard Jobson based this movie off him and his brother’s real lives.  This gives the poetry and story a really personal realism that I think is it’s richest attraction.

Kevin McKidd ,who plays Frankie Mac, does an outstanding job and the movie as a whole is not very predictable, which is very refreshing.  The non-chronological unfolding of the story in the retrospective (looking back) point of view helps increase this effect.  The beginning is a little slow, but will keep you interested as you will instantly be able to empathize with the young childhood Frankie. There are three main stages of the film which consist of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. 

I don’t want to spoil the plot line for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, but in short an idealistic boy is exposed to the hard reality of his father’s true character.  This disillusionment continues into adolescent where Frankie becomes a violent gang leading alcoholic.  He finds love and tries to come out of his past, but his self destructive tendencies keep pulling him back. 

Frankie’s narration is bit simply and repetitive, but the shear charisma and dualism of the main character as he struggles with the two different sides of himself make him an extremely interesting multi-dimensional character.  The main attraction to this piece is the strong character driven development of the relationships Frankie Mac has and how they change throughout the different parts of his life. 

It’s extremely microscopic, or concerning the inner struggles of the main character.  Although, he is physically beaten up a few times, the real conflict is within himself and the POV never leaves Frankie.  I love movies in this perspective.  Most Hollywood films involve a third person point of view and mainly macroscopic or outward plots.

A few critics have said that it plays into the standard self destruction drug addict loathing formula, but I would highly disagree.  The concepts have been played out before and it’s true that some of the violence seems invented and lacks realism, but the movie pulls it off beautiful in a more poetic and thought provoking way then other films of this nature.  The alcoholism is a little too much on the tame side.  In the portrayal of a self destructive violent alcoholic, I expected to see him wake up and take a drink, or black out and wake up in his own vomit or some other signs of extreme drinking.  Instead you are simply given a few stumbling home scenes, but nothing very shocking

A couple of scenes are purposefully remnant of A Clockwork Orange, which is externalized referenced in the movie itself by Frankie’s bedroom poster of A Clockwork Orange.  Unfortunately some of the violent A Clockwork Orange flash backs lack direction, so they come off a bit confusing.  The transitions and the overload of symbols and metaphors were a little too much at times and made you ask yourself is this a dream sequence or really happening or what?  This created some confusion and took away a little from the films effect. 

This movie has been released on DVD and you can currently find it at any major video store or rental chain.  I definitely recommended this film to anyone who enjoys a serious non-predictable movie with beautiful cinematography, strong acting, and a rich poetic unfolding of a personal story.

It was nominated for in the 2003 British Independent Film Awards for Best Independent Film and Susan Lynch won the Best Supporting Actress category.  In the USA the reviews have been mixed, but on the positive side.  This is definitively a must see and may possibly become a cult classic.

Posted by berpen | Uncategorized | Monday 1 March 2010 3:20 pm

It should, like its identity-puzzled characters, flirt with being one thing as adverse to what it actually is, but at heart The Princess and the Frog adheres carefully to the Disney formula.

There's the standard fairytale up to date and inverted – here, while industrious but impoverished Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) kisses the frog prince Naveen (Bruno Campos), she is herself remodeled into a lady frog, and will have to join forces with the work-shy libertine to raise the voodoo curse from either one of them, to chase her dream of beginning a New Orleans eating place, and most likely additionally to find precise love.

In line with the masked ball that paperwork its centerpiece, the film spends so much of its plot masquerading as a extra interesting and subversive anti-Disney piece during which goals don't come true, wishing upon a celebrity is a vain exercise, and being a warts-and-all frog may in fact be higher than turning into a rich princess – however then, disappointingly, an pointless coda restores every typical Disney value that the remainder of the movie has sought to dismantle.

Or as Io puts it, “can have been higher in the event that they stayed married as frogs.”

There's the standard set of sidekicks to supply comic aid and contrapuntal subplots. Io says that trumpet-enjoying alligator Louis “was very nice and he preferred numerous people. He used to be very kind. I think he could be a truly excellent jazz music individual because he can do really excellent songs.” Of huge-hearted Cajun firefly Ray, Io says, “The primary factor Ray likes is only a star, and he thinks it’s a girl – and likewise he does farts, and that’s how his tail lights.” Io was, on the opposite hand, less fond of secondary characters Massive Daddy and his spoilt Southern belle of a daughter Charlotte – despite the truth that she beloved ‘voodoo queen of the bayou’ Mama Odie as a outcome of “she’s truly humorous”.

In fact, a Disney film may now not be a Disney movie with out making a song, dancing and a quantity of wonderfully lively colour, and it is right here that The Princess and the Frog in reality delivers. “The singing used to be like jazz – more or less rocking and lovely – and the color used to be like brilliant colours,” comments Io enthusiastically, ahead of adding “however there used to be one color in it that wasn’t a color – black.” Right here she is alluding to her favorite facet of the movie, the disembodied, self reliant shadows who function villain Dr Felicier’s demonic henchmen. “It’s actually cool how they can snatch one thing despite the fact that they’re a shadow, and the way they move differently.”

Io indubitably left happy, but adults would possibly smartly find themselves irked via the decidedly blended message of a movie that preaches the unimportance to happiness of cash, however still shoehorns in a cheerful finishing predicated on financial exchange.

It is inconceivable to totally believe James Cameron's long-in-the-making eco-opus “Avatar” with out examining the film's technological wonders and storytelling error separately. The image Mr. Cameron items to us is also an actual success, visually, but the tale is a complete rehash.

Pandora, where the film is about, is a deadly position: The air is unbreathable, and the forests that quilt the planet are full of foul-having a look beasts purpose on killing anything they come across. With a function to navigate the jungle — and better learn how to engage with the indigenous Na'vi, a race of nine-foot-tall catlike humanoids — humans must add their consciousness into take a look at-tube-born-and-bred Na'vi our bodies known as avatars.

Quadriplegic marine Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) ships out to Pandora to fill in for his recently deceased twin brother. If he capably fulfills his tasks — which include spying at the science team for which he's to supply safety and on the Na'vi who come to accept him as one of their very own — “the Company” will restore his spine free of charge.

The Company is a malevolent drive on Pandora: It's strip-mining the planet on the lookout for “unobtanium,” a unprecedented mineral that is going for thousands and thousands of greenbacks a pound at the open market. Sadly for the Na'vi, there's a rich vein of the stuff under the enormous tree wherein they live, and the Company will prevent at nothing to get it.

Jake is labored up to betray the Na'vi to start with, but he turns into conflicted after falling in love with Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a princess who saves his existence all through his first undertaking into the forest. Growing ever more concerned within the mystic ways of these noble savages, Jake is forced to select: Must he lend a hand the Na'vi or aid the military in waging a genocidal marketing campaign in an effort to pursue his own materialistic objectives?

Any person who has noticed “Dances With Wolves” or “Quigley Down Underneath” or “The Last Samurai” will understand the solution to that question.

Some can be angered by way of the facile anti-trade, professional-eco-terrorism plot Mr. Cameron has constructed, however that's the least of the target market's worries. Far worse is the definitely predictable — and, at 161 mins, reputedly interminable — manner by which the movie unfolds.

However as vintage-hat or even, for stretches, uninteresting as the storytelling in “Avatar” could additionally be, the visuals that convey this brand new surprise to life are stunning, if no longer quite the groundbreaking success we have now been promised for the past few years. Shot with a digital camera rig invented by manner of Mr. Cameron to take full good factor about the 3-D effect, “Avatar” almost all the time succeeds at seamlessly integrating reside-motion actors and laptop-generated imagery.

The Na'vi are as practical as will also be anticipated of blue, nine-foot bipedal cats coated in bioluminescent spots. When interacting with every other, they look nearly photorealistic.

As for the 3-D work, the steadicam, panoramic type shots are beautiful. Whilst, then again, the p.c. selections up and the digicam moves in a jerkier, pretend-verite taste, the appearance sometimes breaks. Nonetheless, quibbles apart, the motion sequences are, for essentially the most section, smartly-choreographed and fully convincing endeavors that hardly ever glance fake.

“Avatar” represents simply the best use a reside-action image has made of three-D; it is too dangerous Mr. Cameron could not get a hold of a story and script worth of his spectacle.

The overall year’s such a lot formidable plus visually arresting flick serves as James Cameron’s “Avatar.” You’ve not at all identified something quite like the present, that works in.its value a lot of highly since the general show’s sheer good looks is enough to detract you up of the fact which Cameron, a knowledgeable writer, serves as now not a nice writer. Several up of his characters will be caricatures. Too much from the general discussion serves as stock.

The smart facts and figures? No longer a lick from it the situation here.

Budgeted at nearly $270 million, “Avatar” spends every cent to create a world thus made and lush, thus textured, genuine and surreal, you give yourself over to it plus after that lose yourself inchit. Computers long suffer from driven films, but now not at this high a amount plus not with Cameron’s legions from proficient artists working behind the screens.

At nearly three hours, the picture is long, less than the trick serves as that the storytelling is brisk, allowing for Cameron focusing the bulk of his film on Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former marine paralyzed of the overall waist behind and this point confined to a wheelchair.

The way a team of scientists request her out of which chair and on his feet serves as wacky, to say the overall slightest, but the overall year is 2154, after all of them, plus seemingly something serves as possible. As well as, buying Jake mobile is critical to the overall movie. Doing therefore comes to the employment of a scientifically made, ten-foot-tall avatar modeled after the Na’half-dozen, an alien race which is living this week the globe Pandora, which is having the general misfortune from possessing a mineral called Unobtainium that might save Earth of its dwindling energy stockpile if enough of it is mined.

Plus thus it will be mined–by force, if necessary, though the theory at the overall back these designed Na’vi is to permit for the explanation that assimilation incha shot to move the current race to a different section up of Pandora, where the general Unobtainium isn’t present.

Through take a nap and science, Jake becomes his avatar–long plus blue and lithe up of limb, it’s a thrill to observe him or her run again–plus in a while he’s off to Pandora with Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver, nicely channeling Ripley from Cameron’s “Alien” franchise) and a few from others. The same time on hand, the beauty from Pandora shields a cash of dangers. Something can and will happen, with Jake finally being separated from his crew plus stumbling upon the general cat-like Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), who mocks him or her, just about kills her, and whose folks lead the Na’vi. Naturally, in.spite up of them all him or her hissing, Jakes falls because her.

Since the general flick’s pleasures go beyond the brilliance up of its visuals–Cameron’s healthiness continually has been his skill to mount one mother from a climax, which he will here–it'd be a slip to reveal more. Secure to say which the supporting solid (Stephen Lang, Giovani Ribisi, Michelle Rodriguez) is cast; our own sorry, bloody earlier period is evoked via the Na’6, who take note of the overall Yankee Indian; plus the like which grows between Jake plus Neytiri is heartfelt plus real.

Less than the overall picture isn’t perfect. The problem? Cameron’s take benefit of from three-D technology.

For the explanation that the overall such a lot section, the result works seamlessly, particularly along Pandora’s stellar landscapes, that are breathtaking no longer merely in.their advanced, colorful realization (the general determined design can be successful the overall Academy Award), but in the general depth from department Cameron achieves. When Jake and Neytiri prefer flight in the overall week their winged beasts plus soar behind plus almost a hive from floating mountains, you’ll feel each plummet inchyour gut. But by the general point Cameron sandwiches his camera back to tight home, focal point problems occur and photographs warp to the point of distraction. This serves as often a quibble, less than it continue to was once an annoyance and it should be noted.

Therefore, think of it noted. Now, if you haven’t in the overall past attained so, go plus figure out at least one of the general year’s such a lot exhilarating films.
