Nosferatu (1922) There's nothing like making the property sale of your life, only to find out that your dream client is a member of the blood-sucking undead.

Who is the most independent filmmaker friendly distributor in 2008? The answer might surprise you. By : Daniel Lafleche Sony Pictures Classics' recent Indie Film deals are making it look either, clueless, or like it is gearing up for a future of Video Direct niche markets that the rest of us are not aware of yet.Choosing to buy smaller films that do look like they have potential for crossover success, SPC is throwing conventional specialty shopping wisdom to the wind.

Jackson plays Coach Ken Carter in a good sports drama with an outstanding message for today's high school basketball players who see playing with the pros as their only objective in life. Carter believes that a basketball scholarship and ethics should go hand in hand. This is an incredible story of a coach who will not compromise his values by not compromising his integrity. Four Average Movies That Do Not Get Any Better the Second Time Around By : Ed Bagley Here are four average movies that do not get any better the second time around: Anger Management with Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler, The Emperor's Club with Kevin Kline and Emile Hirsch, The Fast and the Furious (a totally mindless guy flick about macho wannabe men street car racing), and Five Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson and Karen Black (both Oscar nominees in a depressing film about a guy going nowhere 1,000 miles an hour). "To Kill a Mockingbird" Exposes the Destructiveness of Bigotry By : Ed Bagley Gregory Peck won a Best Actor Oscar in this adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about white lawyer Atticus Finch defending an innocent African American man accused of raping a white woman. This is a story that illuminates everything that is wrong about hate, prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, stupidity, lack of backbone and lack of a heart. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 2 By : Ed Bagley Based on Sarah Waters' acclaimed debut novel, Tipping the Velvet was adapted by Andrew Davies, an Emmy award-winning British screenwriter who has also written "Doctor Zhivago", "Bridget Jone's Diary", "Sense and Sensibility", "Vanity Fair" and "Pride and Prejudice". Davies is a very talented heavyweight. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 1 By : Ed Bagley "Tipping the Velvet" is what some viewers would consider a terrible film about a sinful, raunchy lifestyle, and what I would consider an excellent film despite any apparent raunchiness. The BBC brought this controversial movie to a 5-millon strong mainstream television audience in England. Tipping the Velvet is an incredibly unusual firm because you rarely, if ever, see an alternative lifestyle movie with a happy ending. "The Quiet Man" Is a Love Story Set in the Emerald Isle of Ireland By : Ed Bagley No one ever said that filmmaking was easy, only that it could be very good and sometimes enduring, as in "The Quiet Man", starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara with legendary Director John Ford. The Quiet Man was the first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside. Ford earned his 4th and last Best Director Oscar for The Quiet Man in 1952. See the film and understand why this love story will touch your heart. "Nanny McPhee" - An Excellent Movie with Magic and a Message for Children By : Ed Bagley In an entertainment world full of trashy and violent video games and movies, Nanny McPhee is everything good about movies for children. You and your children can watch this film without fear of unpleasant and unwanted garbage rooted in sensationalism for ratings and greed. Nanny McPhee is an excellent film with a wonderful message for all children to recognize and understand. "A Lot Like Love" Is Light Enough to Fly Away and Never Be Missed By : Ed Bagley "A Lot Like Love" chronicles the indecision of two young adults who are misguided and muddled in both their careers and love life. They haul off and do nothing with themselves and then wonder why they are not happy. No wonder they are confused about love. They deserve each other. See this film once and move on. Movie History: If You Thought "Titanic" Was the Largest Grossing Film in the U. S., Think Again By : Ed Bagley A lot of moviegoers think that "Titanic" is the largest grossing domestic film of all time, topping $600+ million in revenue following its release in 1997. Titanic, while No. 1 in actual dollars generated, is only No. 6 when adjusted for inflation. Learn the real No. 1 largest grossing domestic film in moviemaking history in this article. White Christmas Movie Beloved Tradition By : MIKE SELVON Watching White Christmas movies is the one all-time favorite holiday movie. Movie Review - Sweeney Todd By : Misty Copher Having never seen the stage version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, I can't speak to the fidelity the film shares with the play. That said, let there be no doubt that Tim Burton has crafted a true piece of musical cinema from Stephen Sondheim's bloody masterpiece. To their discredit, early previews have hedged a bit regarding the singing in the film. Movie review - Cereal as a Metaphor for Capitalism By : Misty Copher A business course on cutthroat capitalism disguised as a slacker comedy: That’s the kindest way to describe Michael Lehmann’s “Flakes,” a movie that shares the smug, hipper-than-thou sensibility of its sour protagonist, Neal Downs (Aaron Stanford). Movie Review In a Dark Place By : Misty Copher Anna is working as an art teacher in the city, however she fails in the big city, and is given a job to teach a young girl by the name of Flora. In the movie though it appeared that Anna played the role of the nanny and the art teacher. I'm not really sure, it was too boring to figure it out fully, and too lame to want to rewind to get all of the answers. PS I Love You Movie Review By : Misty Copher While nobody can predict when death will pay them a visit and cut their life short, according to the movie P.S. I Love You, with some applied imagination and strategic planning in advance, you might be able to cheat the Grim Reaper just a little. Or in this case at least, from beyond the grave. MOVIE REVIEW: Southland Tales By : Misty Copher Southland Tales. As in Tales from Southern California, but a different California, where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is an action star turned prophet, Justin Timberlake is a veteran of Iraq, Sean-William Scott is actually a pair of twins, and Sarah Michelle-Gellar is a porn star named Krysta Now. “No-one rocks the cock like Krysta Now.” Or so we’re told. You never actually see her rocking the cock, and she is more than welcome. Black Christmas movie review By : Misty Copher The whole world is captivated by the movies coming out of the major American film studios, but it is one thing to see the movies and another thing to get behind the scenes, find out how they were made and go on rides that put you right into the midst of the most popular movies of our time. You can do all of this at the Universal Studios themeThis festive fright-fest was a nice surprise from what I was originally expecting. Universal Studios: Get Into The Action Of Your Favorite Movies By : Misty Copher The whole world is captivated by the movies coming out of the major American film studios, but it is one thing to see the movies and another thing to get behind the scenes, find out how they were made and go on rides that put you right into the midst of the most popular movies of our time. You can do all of this at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, Florida. DVD Review: The Simpsons Movie By : Misty Copher Those yellow, animated phenomenons have finally made their way to the big screen and it only took eighteen years. So does the animated movie live up to the hilarity of the television show? Read on and find out – doh! Movie review: Perfect Holiday not so perfect By : Misty Copher The Perfect Holiday is seasonably pablum partially redeemed by a smart (if wasted) cast and at least one unusual holiday bit. Directed by co-written by Lance (The Cookout) Rivera, the film mostly flounders through contrived meet-cute scenes and some “what were they thinking” scenes (such as one involving a 300-pound “elf” trying to put on a fat suit). Stock Index Online News: Pixtal Pushes Out New Images and CDs (and something about John Birdsall ) By : Stock Index Online The Royalty Free brand from the stock photography agency age fotostock, closes the year 2007 with a new release of images and CDs.

"Lost in Translation" Makes the Meaning of Life Sound Elusive By : Ed Bagley "Lost in Translation" was written and directed by Sofia Coppola and won enough awards to fill a grocery cart. Seeing this film, I would not have guessed it would have won so many awards. I gave this film an average rating rather than a good or excellent rating. I wanted real substance in this film and I was left wanting. Learn why in my review. The Golden Compass - Navigates to Nowhere By : Rev Michael Bresciani The Golden Compass is the film based on the first novel in a trilogy written by Philip Pullman. The darkly twisted theme is based on witches that are heroes, angels that are homosexual, a church that is bad and a god (allusion to God) that dies at the end of it all. Dragon Ball Movie Is Now Busting Out The Box Office By : dror klar With a fresh release, this movie shows the promise of a true blockbuster. Is Spider Man 3 A Favorite Or A Flop By : dror klar The votes are steadily coming in, the critics are watching and the public is still in a frenzy for Spider Man 3 that was just released on DVD and Pay Per View. Nancy Meyers Comes Up With a Winner: A Romantic Comedy that Really Works By : Ed Bagley Christmas is coming soon and everybody is busy getting ready for another holiday season. A movie can be great comic relief. We want to be entertained and interested by a story that keeps us attentive and has a happy ending. Nancy Meyers delivers what we need as the writer/director of "The Holiday", a romantic comedy with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black and Eli Wallach. Noëlle - A Christmas Movie Powerhouse with a Message to Heal Millions By : Rev Michael Bresciani Movies today can end with nothing being resolved and some films even offer alternate endings in the event you didn’t like the way it did end. The movie Noëlle ends with something we can all live with and something millions can’t live without. Buildup in Movie Making Explained By : Jimmy Cox Once you have mastered the basics of the structure of the sequence, the mechanics of smoothness, coherence, and camera logic you are ready for something that relies on your "feel" for motion pictures, on that intuitive extra something that can set your work apart. "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out, Kid!" By : C A Mc Craw The Best and Worst Movie Santas through the Years Do you like blank and white movies? Then you’ll love… By : Ned Norris Do you love to curl-up in front of an old black and white movie? Do you enjoy the innocence of those wonderful old films where the good-guy always comes out the victor in the end and usually ends up with the girl as an added bonus? If the answer is a resounding “Yes!” then have I got a treat in store for you. The Art of Continuity in Movie Making By : Jimmy Cox There are ten million film makers in America today. Most of them are amateurs, but the number who migrates to professional ranks grows constantly as television enlarges its demands for motion pictures of all kinds. Buy Cheap DVDs with Price Comparison Sites By : Benicio Brown When you plan on buying anything, you want to ensure you get the best deal you possible can. There are a number of ways that can help you get to the best price for a product on the internet giving you more value for money. For example if you want to buy DVDs or films you are advised to shop around the common places that sell them, this is because some companies offer discounts on certain DVDs so be sure to check them out before you make any purchases. "Breakfast on Pluto" Is Really Not About an Alien from Outer Space By : Ed Bagley "Breakfast on Pluto" is a gender preference movie about a boy who really wants to be a girl, and settles for being a transvestite trying to find a place in a world that curses his very existence. I endured Boys Don't Cry and Transamerica and am pleased to say I did not have to endure Breakfast on Pluto. I think that Neil Jordan is the reason why. This film is worth viewing for its message: to thine ownself be true. "Transamerica" Transsexual Tale Misses Opportunity to Inform and Educate Viewers By : Ed Bagley There are easier films to review than productions involving alternative life styles, and Transamerica is an example. It is one thing to make a comedy or romantic comedy with no other purpose than to entertain viewers, it is quite another to tackle a difficult, controversial subject without assuming some responsibility for making its presentation a positive, productive impact upon viewers. To do less is entertaining but useless. You Cannot Forget Captain Jack Sparrow, But National Treasure Is One Heck of a Hunt By : Ed Bagley It took an inordinately long time for movie land to bring us a modern day treasure hunt worth watching, but Director Jon Turteltaub delivered big time in National Treasure, the story of a secret treasure that crosses the centuries. National Treasure is full of obscure clues. National Treasure stays focused on the clues with the actors not upstaging the treasure hunt story line. Boys Don't Cry Stirs Our Baser Emotions But Fails Miserably to Increase Our Understanding By : Ed Bagley How can a film produce an Oscar winning Best Actress performance and a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination and still be a terrible movie? Easy, just fail to deliver an important message involving understanding and knowledge when you have millions of moviegoers who are glued to your presentation. What Are the Best Movie Sites for Downloading Movies? It Depends on What You Are Looking For. By : kirby It all started with music. Early on, sites like Napster made it possible to download songs without purchasing an album. The problem was that these services – at the time – did not take copyright into consideration. People shared songs they liked and built their music collection. And, as time went on, this started to change. Subscription services came about; so did the opportunity to pay to download one song at a time. Fonejacker - New comedy genius By : wayne metcalfe If you have not had a chance to look at the latest Channel 4 series fonejacker, but seem to come across it where ever you go, here is a quick overview of the super hit series. Fonejacker is a television series that follows the exploits of the multi-talented actor Kayvan Novak, as he makes prank calls to people all over the UK. Each fonejacker episode begins with definition of fonejack which is defined as “seize control of a telephone conversation by farce esp. to divert it from reason and logic”. Of course, since fonejacking is all about making prank telephone calls, the telephone conversation is usually accompanied by on screen animations that look similar to a Monty Python cartoon.

Auditions Online By : lean fer read this before you go to an audition Review Of Rush Hour 3 By : article-magazine.com A review of Rush Hour 3 with Actors Jackie Chan & ChrisTucker! Sunset Boulevard By : Olivia Hunt The movie ‘Sunset Boulevard’ depicts the callous and unworthy, to an extent wicked, attitude of the Hollywood film industry. The movie brings out the unwarranted treatment meted out to its own stars of the past. 2 Weird Films That Have Stood the Test of Time: "Drag Queens in the Desert" and "Rocky Horror" By : Ed Bagley What would Hollywood be without its share of bitchy, catty, gaudy, outrageous and crazy films? Two examples are "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and "The Rocky Horror Picture "Show". Both of these films have a very limited audience because they are more negative than positive and have few redeeming qualities. "The Departed" Is Best Mob Film Since Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" in 1972 By : Ed Bagley Let me get to the most important thing first: Director Martin Scorsese won an Oscar for "The Departed". Scorsese, one of the most accomplished directors of our era, has been nominated for 7 Oscars—5 for Best Director and 2 for Best Screenplay—before winning with The Departed. The Departed is simply the best mob film since Mario Puzo's original Godfather in 1972. Movie Downloads: The Best Movies Online!

Now you can source your favorite movie from special movie databases online. Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" Brings the Past Violent Mayan Life into Our Consciousness By : Ed Bagley Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" shows the raw, violent face of the advanced Mayan civilization in its decline, with its rulers insisting that the key to continued prosperity is to build more temples and offer more human sacrifices to their Gods. The result is innocent Mayans being viciously attacked and their communal way of life being destroyed to meet an insane desire. Will they be able to survive the onslaught? Four Average Movies: Two Messy and Two Unpretentious By : Ed Bagley Here are four average movies, two of which are pretty screwed up (The Family Stone with Sarah Jessica Parker, Diane Keaton, Craig T. Nelson and Rachel McAdams, and Mona Lisa Smile with Julia Roberts) and two of which are unpretentious and easy on the eye (Indian Summer with Diane Lane and Unlikely Angel with Dolly Parton) Despite being pure fluff, I would rate the last two better than the first two.

Movies That Change Lives - 25 Quotes From Hobart Shakespeareans By : Priscilla Parham What is it like in a day in the life of a child? How about a 5th grade inner-city school student? I just found this 52-minute documentary gem.

New Couple Walk The Red Carpet At Cannes By : Richa Sinha When we talk of Cannes Film Festival how Bollywood can be left behind? This time many of our stars were to be a part of it. But for the newly wedded couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan this was their first festival which they are celebrating together. These Two Films Create Confusion or Unbelievably Overblown Drama By : Ed Bagley Ocean's Eleven is a confusing film about a $160 million heist of three Las Vegas casinos from an impenetrable safe 200 feet underground. Is Ocean's Eleven supposed to be an action flick, a comedy, a crime story or a drama? The Hours features three depressed women from three different generations trying to cope with life, some Academy Award-winning performances and a story line that is even more depressing and repugnant. Comeback Of Khan’s Movie By : Pawan Kumar Fardeen Khan and Saif Ali Khan first worked together in the film ‘Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega’. However recently, the two actors were all set to star in Feroz Khan’s remake of his film ‘Qurbani’, now to be titled ‘Kurbani’ Two Films With Tons of Recognition That Leave This Viewer Unfulfilled By : Ed Bagley A lot of moviegoers saw Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World as a great picture with great acting and pretty much a shoo-in for a handful of Oscars. I did not see it the same way, nor did the Academy. The Lion in Winter is a 2 Star movie with some 4 Star (Excellent) performances. Both movies stir no emotion in me, foment ill will and breed confusion when clarity should rule the day and resolution should be the result. Can Mistress of Spice Bring Aishwarya Into Trouble By : Richa Sinha One of the news that can shock millions of Aishwarya Rai’s fans and no doubt her husband too is that of her erotic scenes in the movie named “Mistress Of Spice” opposite to Dylan Mcdermott.

Priyanka Chopra in “Gandhi” By : Pawan Kumar Priyanka Chopra, former “Miss World 2000” started her career as a model, soon after gaining the crown of Miss India World and Miss World 2000, she became the charm of the nation. Some Facts About Shahrukh By : Shravan kumar Bollywood actor, producer, and current host of the popular game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, Shahrukh Khan is the super star and don of the film industry. “Just Married” With Fardeen By : Pawan Kumar Two strangers become companions for life after an arranged marriage and go on a honeymoon in Ooty where they discover the obvious awkwardness that any relatively-not-known-to-each-other couple feels when it comes to consummating their marriage. Whatever Happened to Helen Hunt After Making What Women Want? By : Ed Bagley What Women Want is a romantic comedy light enough to float away. Helen Hunt is a real talent with real hardware and seemed so on top of her game after the release of What Women Want in 2000. Heck, I figured, move over Julia Roberts and hello Helen Hunt as America's newest sweetheart, but Hunt did Cast Away with Tom Hanks and then returned to Broadway. The two rising stars today are Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Swank. Today Anyone Can Become An Actor By : David Fishman It's vital that you put your thoughts to the side for a moment and simply listen and be present with what the casting agent. A Romantic Comedy That Works With a Couple of 60+ Senior Citizens By : Ed Bagley Something's Gotta Give is a romantic comedy without substance that works because of Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. Keaton is one the few actresses at age 60 who has been able to partner with bankable leading men. She seems to have found the secret to staying young, alive and attractive while Nicholson at 69 and counting appears his age and has not benefited from the passage of time. Keaton is one fine looking 60-year-old woman. Five Movies That Try Hard Yet Still End Up As Terrible By : Ed Bagley Here are five movies that try hard but are rated terrible for the effort. They include Napoleon Dynamite (with Jon Heder), Once Upon a Time in Mexico (with Antonio Banderas, Johnny Depp and Salma Hayek), The Notebook (with James Garner, Gena Rowlands and Rachel McAdams), Of Human Bondage (W. Somerset Maugham's novel with Leslie Howard and Bette Davis), and The Prince and the Showgirl (with Marilyn Monroe and Laurence Olivier). Put These 5 Films Together and Spell Terrible 5 Times By : Ed Bagley Here are five more movies you think would be really better than they are, unfortunately for the films, the scripts, the direction, and the actors, they are not. All five get my terrible rating; they include Love Letters, Monster-in-Law (with Jennifer Lopez, Michael Vartan and Jane Fonda), The Fast Runner (about Eskimo life and culture on the tundra in Alaska), Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu, and Myra Breckenridge (with Raquel Welch). Another 5 Movies You Think Would Be Better Than They Are By : Ed Bagley Here are another five movies you think would be really better than they are, unfortunately they are not. All five get my terrible rating; they include Gods and Generals (with Robert Duvall, Jeff Daniels and Stephen Lang), Mr. and Mrs. Smith (with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), Just Like Heaven (with Reese Witherspoon), Miracle (the U. S. Hockey Team victory at the 1980 Olympic Games), and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (with Kate Hudson). MySpace & Filmmakers By : Steven Cancel A look at how the MySpace community is helping the independent film community. Aamir’s New Avenue By : Shravan kumar Remember the nimble little boy who played Arjun Rampal’s son in SRK-starrer Don? Rampal’s onscreen son Tanay is now set to do another Bollywood act with none other than Aamir Khan in the latter’s home production Taare Zameen Par. Title: Priyanka Chopra In the Judging Panel Of Miss India 2007 By : Pawan Kumar Bollywood's glamour icon Priyanka Chopra was into the judge panel of Miss India 2007.

"Camelot" Is a Magical Movie, and a Primer in Civilized Human Relationships and Growth By : Ed Bagley Camelot, released in 1967, celebrates its 40th anniversary this October, and was based on the 1960 musical play Camelot written by Alan Jay Lerner with music by Frederic Loewe. Camelot became a modern day legend when it was immortalized after President John F. Kennedy's assassination. Camelot the play and Camelot the film were both truly inspirational musical productions. "Prada" Boss Drives Away Everyone and Everything But Blind Ambition By : Ed Bagley Meryl Streep, one of Hollywood's best actresses, carries The Devil Wears Prada like the namesake handbag we see early in this movie, which is about Miranda Priestly, a powerful New York fashion magazine editor who hires Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), a recent journalism grad, to be her new gofer. In the end, she ditches the job when she realizes that life without her boyfriend, her friends and family are not worth the price of being exclusive. Hollywood's Most Perfect Actress Had Beauty, Fashion, Grace and Humility By : Ed Bagley Was there ever an actress who combined these four timeless qualities—beauty, fashion, grace and humility—better than Audrey Hepburn? I think not, especially when I see her again in Breakfast at Tiffany's. We shall not see another like her in our lifetime and by then the film industry may be on the way out when some newer, better technology unknown to us today arrives. Audrey Hepburn was a model of grace and humility. An Iranian Foreign Film Fails To Promote Real Understanding By : Ed Bagley Children of Heaven is an Iranian movie with subtitles about a boy who accidentally loses his sister’s worn out shoes after being sent to get them repaired, and must share his own worn out sneakers with her in a sort of relay while each attends school at different times during the day. Unfortunately, Children of Heaven has an unsettling ending. If it were not for this terrible ending, I would rate this film higher. Pricey Priyanka Chopra! By : Pawan Kumar Article about the hottest Bollywood actress and model Priyanka Chopra. Priyanka Chopra, the former Miss India and Miss World, is now becoming famous by the name of “ Pricey Priyanka”. Aamir Khan’s Forty- Second Birthday and His Fourth- Comings By : Shravan kumar All about the hottest Bollywood actor and super star Aamir Khan. Aamir Khan, Bollywood’s endowed actor turns a year older on March 14 by reaching forty second ladder. Two Excellent Films That Could Not Win an Oscar By : Ed Bagley Secondhand Lions is a masterpiece of storytelling written and directed by Tim McCanlies (remember the name). Near as I can tell, this film had absolutely no nominations for Oscars. First time French Director Christophe Barratier has given us an incredibly good movie in The Chorus, which was nominated for two Oscars but came up empty handed at the presentations. No matter. It did not affect the effort and excellence of The Chorus. Two Excellent Films With Oscar Nominations By : Ed Bagley A Man for All Seasons poses the question: What would a man sacrifice for his principles? When Henry VIII seeks approval to divorce his wife and marry Anne Boleyn, his new Chancellor and Cardinal - Sir Thomas More - stands in his way. In the end, Sir Thomas becomes the only person in England who will die for his principles. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl becomes the best pirate picture every made, thanks to Johnny Depp. An Independent Film Production That Became an Excellent, Big Fat Paycheck By : Ed Bagley My Big Fat Greek Wedding is simply one of the best movies ever made about close families and their traditions. The estimated $5 million budget for the film generated worldwide revenue of $368 million, making it the highest-grossing independent film of all time, and the the highest grossing movie never to have hit number one at the box office. Five Average Movies That Are Worth a Look, But Only Once By : Ed Bagley Here are five movies that are worth a look, but only once. All five get my average rating; they include The Bourne Supremacy (with Matt Damon), Catch Me If You Can (with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks), The Breakfast Club (with Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy), The Christmas Child, and Arsenic and Old Lace (with a very young Cary Grant).
