still , such constant attention for the singer - turned - actor never bothered the cast throughout production or the press tour . explained james d’arcy , “honestly , it’s a christopher nolan film — that trumps everything else . ”

cameras have become so sophisticated , with sharper lenses and data - processing , that companies can analyze what shoppers are looking at , and even what their mood is .

according to the hollywood reporter ' s todd mccarthy , the film is " a very rosemary’s baby - like intimate horror tale that definitely grabs your attention and eventually soars well over the top to make the bold concluding statement that , for some creators , art is more important than life . "

the american indie band ' sprites ' wrote a song entitled ' george romero ' which is obviously an homage to dawn of the dead and director george . a . romero . the track starts off with the mall announcment " attention all shoppers . . . attention all shoppers . . . " which is taken directly from dawn of the dead . then the song then goes on to describe what you would do during ' the end of the world ' zombie apocalypse . various other famous ' zombie ' movie directors are also mentioned in the song , as well as legendary fx artist ' tom savini ' , who did the fx for dawn of the dead . the song eventually finishes with ' peters ' line from the film " . . . . i ' m thinking . maybe we got a good thing going here . maybe we shouldn ' t be in such a hurry to leave . . .

romero ' s film has received a number of re - cuts and re - edits , due mostly to dario argento ' s rights to edit the film for international foreign language release .

the chinese horror film bio zombie is a parody of this film , as the plot is similar in where its characters must fight their way out of a shopping mall full of zombies . while dawn of the dead was a big shopping mall , the mall in this film is maze - like in design .

such resignation felt by ten years filmmakers like chow and au is common in hong kong film these days .

the original score for the film was recorded by long - time dario argento collaborators goblin . although the score features heavily in the european cut of the film ( argento ' s zombi cut ) , it is diluted in other cuts with stock music which often added an element of humour to the film ( see below ) .

ten years itself is typical of this phenomenon , having started with seed money originating with a christian missionary program , and the resourcefulness demonstrated by both the filmmakers and the popular response their film provoked offers a breath of hope for sustaining alternative film styles within a world film market increasingly concerned with conforming with china’s requirements for noncontroversial commercial taste .

one , retailnext , uses video footage to study how shoppers navigate , determining , say , that men spend only one minute in the coat department , which may help a store streamline its men’s outerwear layout . it also differentiates men from women , and children from adults .

mehta said he did not owe any explanation to anyone except to those who are the genuine stakeholders in his film .

director hansal mehta has finally broken silence on the kangana ranaut credit controversy with writer apurva asrani in their upcoming film simran .

with the local industry’s decline alongside china’s emergence as the world’s largest film market , the hong kong film industry has survived by splitting into a bipartite system in which some artists and filmmakers entrench themselves by fashioning big - budget spectacles destined for the chinese market , while others remain committed to the genres and film styles more commonly favoured by local hong kong and global critical audiences .

indeed , although the film briefly seemed to present a remarkable moment of resistance to chinese power , current career opportunities for the ten years filmmakers are a cautionary tale consistent with the stories of repression , censorship and blacklisting depicted within the original film itself .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .

the british comedy film shaun of the dead both parodies and homages this movie and romero ' s other films in the dead series . the homage in this film runs deep enough that the entire movie may be considered tribute . in the television series " spaced " , from the makers of " shaun of the dead " , a poster for the film can be seen above the couch .

as ng concludes , “it is very fortunate that because of ten years we can get back to ground zero in making film . ”

nordstrom’s experiment is part of a movement by retailers to gather data about in - store shoppers’ behavior and moods , using video surveillance and signals from their cellphones and apps to learn information as varied as their sex , how many minutes they spend in the candy aisle and how long they look at merchandise before buying it .

while it’s something of a departure for haynes and may divide fans hoping for more of the cool sophistication of carol , wonderstruck is unmistakably the work of an artisan whose attention to detail mirrors the role of museum curators celebrated in the story , and whose attraction to the magnetic allure of the past is a defining trait .

at a time when china is now the world’s largest film market and co - productions between hong kong and mainland chinese film companies are a key source of employment for hong kong and other sinophone filmmakers and talent , the consequences of ten years ’ notoriety has been significant .

assayas is among france ' s most respected filmmakers , but just what he was attempting to do with this film is something of a mystery .

alluding to asrani’s comment that mehta should show some spine and clear the air over the controversy , the director wrote , “my spine is whatever it is , weak or strong , it is only for my film and nothing else . if i chose not to speak it is for my film .

in its first week of release , the film grossed over $ 900 , 000 at 68 theaters , with only a minimal $ 125 , 000 being spent for advertising . the film would become an unqualified success , eventually becoming one of the most financially and commercially successful independent films of all time .

“that ' s what filmmaking should be : pushing yourself to make the most compelling picture , ” said cillian murphy of the nearly dialogue - free film .

as much a study of solitude , intimacy and otherworldly longings as it is a contemporary ghost story , the film is both genuinely scary and psychologically serious .

stewart is great throughout the film , but this extended silent scene gives the actress prone to twitchy intensity and hard - edged vulnerability plenty of satisfying exercise .

much of the music used in the film was licensed from the dewolfe music library , a much utilized source of stock music for film and tv projects . although the goblin score has been variously available since the film ' s release , it was not until 2004 that any of the highly sought - after 60 - plus cues of library music used in the film were released on a compilation album from trunk records . the album included ' cause i ' m a man ' a song written by cliff twemlow under the pen name peter reno and recorded by the pretty things and herbert chappell ' s much loved 1965 composition " the gonk " — the humorous song that plays over the final credits and is considered by some to be the film ' s most memorable piece of music . the track is used in many references to the film including shaun of the dead and a variation ( performed in chicken clucks ) is used as the end theme to robot chicken . shaun of the dead opens with the track " figment " which also features on the compilation . the album ' s cover is taken from a belgian promotional poster for the film .

indeed , unlike the underground film scene in mainland china – which once fostered visionary world filmmakers such as jia zhangke but since 2012 has been subject to a wave of abruptly shuttered festivals – independent hong kong films like ten years signal new paths for cinematic production and reception beyond the commercial roots in which hong kong film was founded .

it is to romero ' s methodology of film - making , along with the technical limitations imposed by the production ' s location , that one can attribute the discrepancies between the production draft of the script and the final cut of the film . but romero filmed certain vital aspects of the script nearly verbatim , such as the characters ' desirous attraction to the mall and the way they ' conquered ' their new home , were central threads which remained constant , helping to solidify his ideas for the suspenseful build - up of the film . the sequence in which roger and peter block the entrances with the trucks was another aspect that remained practically unaltered from page to film .

asrani responded on twitter saying , “if only he mentioned ‘the truth’ as many times as he has mentioned ‘my film’ , he wouldn’t have found himself in this degrading situation . ”

retailnext , based in san jose , calif . , adds data from shoppers’ smartphones to deduce even more specific patterns . if a shopper’s phone is set to look for wi - fi networks , a store that offers wi - fi can pinpoint where the shopper is in the store , within a 10 - foot radius , even if the shopper does not connect to the network , said tim callan , retailnext’s chief marketing officer .

a little over one month ago , my big fat greek wedding became the highest - grossing independent film of all time , breaking the record previously set by the blair witch project .

dawn of the dead also known as zombi ( internationally ) is a zombie horror film . it was written and directed by george a . romero and produced by dario argento . it starred david emge , ken foree , scott h . reiniger , and gaylen ross . it is the second in romero ' s " dead " series , preceded by night of the living dead , and is followed by two sequels . unlike its predecessor , this film is more of a polemic , exploring the apocalyptic effects a " zombie epidemic " would have on society , than a straightforward horror film .

romero ' s original script for dawn of the dead was a 253 - paged treatment . the director gave the script almost an obsessive attention to detail — infamously detailing everything from locations to set dressings and props . romero even went so far as to draw a diagram of the fake wall leading to the group ' s hideout . the industry standard rule that one page equals one minute of screen time would have given this script a running time of over four hours .

on any given day , david newton reads two or three film scripts . each week , at least 20 land on his desk . and the toronto executive , whose warehouse office is in the heart of toronto ' s film district , goes through them all , line by line , on the lookout for those sure - fire scripts that will custom - fit his clients and make them shine .

although the film is not chronological , per se , it has a commendable pace that reveals just enough about elser ' s character — vis - a - vis flashback — at the opportune time .

with the limited audience and stigma that an x - rating attracted , very few studios would take the financial risk of releasing such a film . laurel released the film with the following warning : " there is no explicit sex in this picture . however , there are scenes of violence that may be considered shocking . no one under 17 will be admitted . " none of the potential distributors were willing to make such a compromise , and refused to release it unless the film was recut for an r rating . romero refused , and to prove the filmmaker ' s point , richard rubenstein arranged an advanced screening of a rough cut of the film in new york . the crowd for the showing was enormous , and the response wildly approving . dawn of the dead had an audience , and won over one of the three potential distributors : united film distribution company , a subsidiary of united artists theatres . it was not a major studio but could provide enough of the push that the film would need . unfortunately , an unrated picture faced certain restrictions , which included being banned from running ads in some newspapers or from advertising on tv in certain states ( such as maryland and illinois ) before 11pm .

romero cut a 139 minute version of the film ( now known as the extended , or director ' s , cut ) for premiere at the cannes film festival . eventually it would be cut down to 126 minutes for the theatrical release . argento would cut it down further for his edit . " the first version of the film was very long , so we cut it to more acceptable dimensions . " in september of 1978 , titanus films of rome , italy released the first public premiere of the film with argento ' s european cut , titled : " zombi : l’alba dei morti viventi " . followed in march of 1979 by french distributor rene chateau , titled " zombie : le crépuscule des morts vivants " , then spain with " zombi : el regreso de los muertos vivientes " , the netherlands with " zombie : in de greep van de zombies " , germany’s constantin films with " zombie " and denmark with " zombie : raedslernes morgan " . the film ' s us theatrical premiere was in new york , april 10 , 1979 . a week later , the film had a northeastern run and 400 prints were readied for pre - summer release . the mideast and southern premieres were july 13 , 1979 .

with this idea planted in his head , the tour continued , with romero making note of the blank , expressionless faces of the mall ' s shoppers as they shuffled throughout the indoor shopping center . romero made the connection between the mall ' s patrons and his own zombies almost immediately , likening the droning consumers — with their insatiable and driving desire for materialistic gratification — with that of his own cannibalistic creations and their driving need for consuming human flesh , each motivated by a singular fulfilling need .

the credit row took an ugly turn with asrani saying he was arm - twisted into giving in kangana’s demand , an allegation denied by the film’s producer shailesh singh who said asrani was creating ruckus for publicity .

the production is presented by elizabeth cuthrell and david urrutia for evenstar productions — the team behind the film " jesus ' son , " adapted from johnson ' s book of short stories by the same name .

in 2004 , after numerous dvd releases , anchor bay entertainment released the long - awaited ultimate edition box set of dawn of the dead , featuring all three widely - available versions of the film , along with numerous commentaries , documentaries and extras . understandably , this is considered the " definitive " home release of the film , as it includes all of the major release versions supplemented with commentary and an extra bonus disc .

the sequence of the film is not linear , as it begins with elser ' s attempt to assassinate hitler by planting a bomb inside a column of a munich " bierkeller , " and fleeing to neutral switzerland .

" in essence , the script was notes to work from , " explained romero in paul gagne ' s the zombies that ate pittsburgh . " i wanted a lot of detail , because i knew i was never going to have time for storyboards or anything like that . it actually is more of a storyboard than a script . i was just trying to communicate the film to all different departments . i ' ve always had to adapt to whatever the working arrangements were , you know ? it ' s never been formal . " among the main differences that exist between the script and the final version of the film is in its tone . though much lighter than romero ' s initial concept , the script is a straightforward exposition of the gruesome horror and action in the film , but without the lightheartedness and humor that eventually crept into the film ' s production .

“and when i do speak it will only be in the service of my film - not driven by any blackmail or any noise on social media where dignity is perceived as weakness and conversation is replaced by allegation . ”

there have been no other home release versions since this 2004 edition , however there are foreign - produced bootleg blu ray editions available that are of considerably lower quality , without any extra features or cuts of the film .

in grand theft auto : vice city stories mission " brawn of the dead " , vic must act in the mall in a film where he has to fend off zombies , the director resembles george a . romero .

warner bros . ' dunkirk arrived stateside on tuesday night , with cillian murphy , kenneth branagh , mark rylance , harry styles , fionn whitehead and helmer christopher nolan in tow at the film’s u . s . premiere .

margolin won the best actress award at the san francisco festival , drawing hollywood ' s attention . indeed , the american reception for the film - if not equalled abroad - presaged major careers for all concerned . margolin , however , hesitated , and went to argentina to play the childhood friend of a young fascist terrorist . this was el ojo de la cerradura ( the eavesdropper , 1964 ) , made by another husband - and - wife director - writer team , leopoldo torte nilsson and beatriz guido . it too is forgotten , but in this case unjustly : torre nilsson was an uneven director who at his best could combine artifice , corruption , obsession and claustrophobia in a way that was uniquely his - when compared , even , to bunuel .

the credit row took an ugly turn with asrani saying he was arm - twisted into giving in kangana’s demand , an allegation denied by the film’s producer shailesh singh who said asrani was creating ruckus for publicity . ( youtube )

importantly , this sense of marginalisation does not have to be explicitly political , but could also just reflect the general sidelining that is occurring as china’s influence over regional and global film production dictates what kinds of movies get made .

visually , the film is too tightly wound : ryan ' s character positioning is glaringly stagey , while the film ' s overall look is drab . its production and costume palette consists of dull , earth tones , which are further dulled by cinematographer andrew dunn ' s murky lensing . on the near - plus side , john mellencamp ' s string - swept score grates and swirls , both ascendant and funereal , nicely amplifying the characters ' tribulations .

asrani has alleged that the film’s lead , kangana ranaut , who has been credited as ‘additional dialogue and story writer’ tried to discredit his work in public by saying that she developed the story with mehta from a one - line screenplay .

casting for the film would take place in new york , with the help of casting director john amplas , who had portrayed the title character in martin . romero intended to cast a group of unknown actors to bring the characters of dawn of the dead to life , just as he had in night of the living dead . interestingly , both david emge ( stephen ) and scott reiniger ( roger ) worked at the same restaurant that romero visited while casting the film .

the producers had come to newton hoping to get permission from a manufacturer to show its ouzo brand in their independent film . ( greece ' s national drink gets high billing in the romantic comedy . ) he did that and more .

dario argento ' s 118 minute european zombi cut differs greatly from both us versions . argento specifically recut the film to meet the expectations of the european market , removing much of the character development and dialogue in favor of playing up the action - and - violence aspects of the film . the zombi cut relied heavily on the film ' s comic - book adventure aspect , with the numerous edits removing much of romero ' s underlying subtext—a fact that romero acknowledges when he states argento never really understood the film . in addition , argento also removed most of romero ' s stock cues and music , replacing them with the goblin soundtrack , and included more classically - flavored music over the music heard in the mall . though this version has a shorter running time , it features extensions and recuts of scenes not seen anywhere else , including an ending that removes the final montage sequence for a sparse , black backdrop . in certain countries , argento ' s cut was re - edited even more , removing most of the gore in favor of a lightweight adventure film . it was issued as part of anchor bay entertainment | anchor bay entertainment ' s ultimate edition box set in 2004 and separately as zombi : dawn of the dead in 2005 .

death metal / grindcore band " mortician " sampled the famous " when there is no more room in hell , the dead will walk the earth " line in their song , " zombie apocalypse " , which rougly outlined the film ' s premise .

while all this might seem dreadfully confusing , it’s not so much once you get into the meat of the film . director jaco van dormael does a great job of turning what could be a massive mess of intertwined plots into a somewhat comprehensive story .

unfortunately personal shopper , despite some promising moments , becomes an incoherent - - albeit stylish - - mess with no clear sense of self or direction . stewart ' s understated skill would have worked in a better written , better directed film . however , personal shopper doesn ' t give her enough space or time , leaving the performance mostly underwhelming - - if not at times , misplaced . what is most frustrating is that there were certainly elements of the film , if strung together in another lifetime , that would have made for an endearing thriller .

maybe the only flaw with the movie is its title and cover . viewers may expect a snappy comedic romp rather than the personal odyssey film that it is . maybe that explains the negative reviews . i agree whole - heartedly with the two four - star reviews written below .

- " i have a son . i shall call him mini - roo . " - " now , that should be the way you end a film . with the star . " - " someone call my agent ! " - " that ' s all , blokes ! "

if that ' s true , it will be interesting to see how audiences take to the new james bond film , die another day , which hits theatres in less than three weeks . the iconic bond - - a bulletproof brand - - has signed 20 companies and their products .

ken foree as peter washington : a member of the philadelphia police department swat team involved in assaulting the apartment complex at the beginning of the film . he is resourceful and intelligent and more levelheaded than roger . peter is the main protagonist , and like ben ( the protagonist in night of the living dead ) , is african - american . he has some caribbean heritage , as he tells of a trinidadian grandfather of his who told stories that " when there is no more room in hell , the dead shall walk the earth " , hence the film ' s tagline .

despite limitations imposed by 1970s filmmaking technology , inconvenient late - night filming and budgetary constraints , the film is one of the most financially successful horror films , when one considers production cost versus profit . the film ' s success was greatly helped by the fact that it was sold on the international market , as it was edited in varied ways to suit each market . for example , italian producer dario argento edited the movie to achieve a story with considerably less character development and a much faster pace compared to romero ' s definitive cut , which was peppered with humor and cultural satire .

much of the lead - up to the two suicides was left in the film , as fran stands on the roof doing nothing as zombies approach , and peter puts a gun to his head , ready to shoot himself , before suddenly deciding to live and shooting zombies as heroic music plays .

once filming resumed , romero had assembled enough of his script on film that he would be able to edit and cut the film into a viable release form . it was in this atmosphere that romero fostered an improvisational stage in production , where new ideas were freer to develop than before — chief among these was the filming of the biker gang ' s attack on the mall . the pagans , a local biker gang , had been brought in by the production to create the hostile thugs that would attack the film ' s protagonists ; their infamous pie fight was completely improvised , a gag that was conceived and filmed on the spot ( this fact is slightly contended , as there is a story that says while writing the script for night of the living dead , romero and john a . russo contemplated how they should have the zombies destroyed , at which point co - star and make - up artist marilyn eastman joked that they could throw pies into their faces—whether or not this is true , though , is debatable ) . the opening arrival of the bikers as they raid the mall was almost completely unplanned , as well ; cameras simply filmed the action , with romero later editing the rough film into sequence .

as for my big fat greek wedding , sure , newton says s . c . johnson asked for a little more profile with the windex bottle . and they got it because the producers - - who made the film on $ 5 - million - - thought it would add to the realism of the script .

carbonell has won awards such as the alma awards 1999 alma award outstanding actor in a comedy series for suddenly susan and the star on the horizon award ( president award ) at the ft . lauderdale international film festival in 2003 . he has been nominated for numerous other awards at the alma awards and nclr awards .

filmed previously as the human comedy in 1943 , this rebirth is almost a casebook study of how not to transpose “literature” to film . a heartfelt yet sodden directorial debut by meg ryan , ithaca is wordy and static . saroyan ' s novel was a sharp smear on the fragility of life in a world of wild extremes and shifting circumstances . unfortunately , the film ' s drama is enervated by incessant voiceover , background radio , newsreels , out - loud letter readings and other noise . while it reunites meg ryan and tom hanks , which might prove alluring in ads , hanks appears only in a tiny book - end role .

this 127 minute cut is the version that romero considers to be the definitive cut of the film . the action and pacing are tight , as is the narrative flow . romero ' s cut focuses primarily on character development , and differs only slightly from his original extended cut of the film played at the cannes film festival . most scenes are nearly identical , though they are trimmed and re - edited in such a way as to maximize their pacing . the audio differs slightly as well , combining parts of the argento - favored goblin soundtrack and the library stock music found in the director ' s cut , as well as switching various other audio effects . the us theatrical cut was also released in the uk and canada , but with a majority of the gore edited or cut out . it was released in its entirety on laserdisc in japan . it has been reissued via anchor bay entertainment numerous times , including their ultimate edition box set in 2004 .

the story rather interestingly hypothesizes that ghost sightings have less to do with otherworldly dimensions than the mental and emotional state of those who experience the same . and so a film delving onto the psyche of a young woman undergoing some shit . i liked it mostly , with some parts being mesmerizing , while still an uneven effort .

david levine directs a cast that includes gretchen cleevely ( juno and the paycock ) , kevin corrigan ( " walking and talking , " " trees lounge " ) , emily mcdonnell ( north atlantic - the wooster group ) , betty miller ( three sisters , coastal disturbances ) , will patton ( what did he see , fool for love ) , michael shannon ( killer joe ) , adam trese ( the waverly gallery ) , james urbaniak ( lipstick traces ) and kaili vernoff ( looping in the land of the living - here ) . shoppers ' creative team features marsha ginsberg ( sets ) , mimi o ' donnell ( costumes ) , sarah sidman ( lights ) , robert kaplowitz ( sound ) and nicki ledermann ( hair / make - up ) . douglas crosby handles fight choreography .

as au’s own contribution to ten years portrays , hong kong since reunification has increasingly shifted towards putonghua , rather than the cantonese long dominant in hong kong and hong kong film . thus au’s ten years contribution , entitled “dialect , ” depicts a taxi driver who is unable to find fares due both to legislation and to customer distaste .

by now , the marathon race to the oscars in february usually has a couple of clear - cut front - runners — even if the public hasn’t seen them in theaters . not so this time around . “there’s not a film this year that people really have a crush on , ” one awards consultant says . here ' s why .

while wordy , ithaca is nearly bereft of everyday dialogue : erik jendresen ' s script , focusing on the philosophical queries , crushes the human intrigue . amid these drones , nothing feels or sounds natural , which is particularly egregious since saroyan ' s book imparted a real sense of place ( his hometown of fresno , changed to ithaca for the narrative ) . one of the few moments the film actually entertains comes when the elderly alcoholic telegrapher imparts sage , crusty wisdom to eager - beaver homer . on this plus side , not only have the filmmakers used the historical back - road sites of virginia for their filming , they have picked up the formidable talents of local - yokel sam shepard . costumed in harold lloyd - type period glasses and swiveling around in his telegrapher ' s chair , shepard infuses the proceedings with some comic relief and perspective . his bits stand out : shepard ' s soft , creaky voice , mixed with intermittent high - pitched punctuation , give you the feeling that this guy could do a helluva w . c . fields . unfortunately , those kinds of attention drifts are unintended but necessary to endure the rest of what ' s onscreen .

his character in the film smokin ' aces , ( pasquale acosta s . a . gerald diego ) , is the only one who shares screen time with matthew fox ' s character ( bill , security super ) . in that scene , carbonell ' s character kills fox ' s character . also starring in the movie is lost actor kevin durand .

romero completed nearly half the script , which outlined a dark , primal film revolving around a pregnant woman and her companion seeking refuge from the undead in the safety of the mall , sheltering themselves in a large complex of hidden ducts , venturing into the mall only in search of supplies . much of the script had the characters naked . they then uncover that a paramilitary group is trucking in and storing fresh human flesh within its confines to " feed " the creatures . the protagonists " were really like cavepeople . i was really going out there , very heavy , " romero explained . the director would soon be contacted from overseas by dario argento , a former film critic - turned - famed italian horror director .

the current work of the ten years ’ filmmakers is particularly intriguing in this light . building upon their momentum , most of the original ten years team are now working with peers to launch similar omnibus projects in taiwan , thailand , japan and korea . ( the exception is jevons au , currently shooting a grant - funded film about hong kong teens . )

the notion that mother ! might have autobiographical meaning is raised by the daily beast ' s marlow stern , who argues that the pic is " ultimately concerned with the parasitic nature of the male artist ; how he drains the lifeblood from all those around him in the name of creativity and ego fuel . in that sense , it’s a remarkably self - absorbed film , and one that , allegorical or not , feels like an agonized mea culpa from the artist ( aronofsky ) to those in his personal orbit . " ( stern also writes , " [ t ] his is a film designed to fuck with you . and fuck with you it does . " that is , i believe , a recommendation . )

a fan of night of the living dead and an early critical proponent of the film , argento was eager to hear the news of plans to sequelize the horror classic . argento , while in new york for the premiere of his film suspiria , was introduced to romero and producer richard p . rubenstein . his interest to become involved with the project was immediate . argento contacted romero and invited the director to come to rome in order to finish the script , convinced that the change of scenery would assist in inspiring romero ' s writing . romero and his future wife , christine forrest , were situated within the heart of rome , in an apartment overlooking the city . they shared dinners with argento , discussing the script ' s progress .

the film ' s music varies with each of the various cuts . for romero ' s theatrical version , musical cues and selections were chosen from the music dewolfe library , a compilation of stock musical scores and cues . romero chose these instead of live orchestration due to their cost efficiency . incidentally , while peter and stephen attempt to close and lock the gates towards the film ' s end , the music playing is the same as that which accompanied the opening credits of monty python and the holy grail which also used selections from the dewolfe library . some of the music heard in the mall , as well , was actually unintentional . at 7am , the music would play over the loudspeaker . instead of trying to avoid this — because the crew could not figure out how to turn it off — romero used it in certain scenes . the music heard playing over the film ' s credits was actually not the mall ' s music — it was a song titled " the gonk " — a polka style song with a chorus of zombie moans added over the background by romero — from the dewolfe library .

it turned out to be a bonus for everyone . the film has raked in more than $ 185 - million ( u . s . ) so far . vardalos , a relative unknown in celebrity circles , is tonight ' s host of saturday night live . and s . c . johnson ? well , the wisconsin - based firm is still laughing all the way to the bank .

au openly acknowledges the story’s inspiration from his own work as a screenwriter , who is uncomfortable speaking putonghua and who feels unfamiliar with mainland interests and tastes . confessing that he has begun to “lose confidence” in his scriptwriting , au acknowledges that the local film industry’s shift towards to the mainland market might soon leave him limited only to the local hong kong - based stories he feels comfortable telling .

back in toronto , where premier entertainment ' s business has never been better , newton says he ' s run into very few of that kind of headaches . primarily because he tries to keep his deals simple ; placing donzi boats in charlie ' s angels , and getting smirnoff some good space in meg ryan ' s upcoming film , in the cut , which is coming out next year .

the movie – which fell subject to an aggressive censorship and negative media campaign by the chinese government – ultimately won the global public relations war when it was exhibited at dozens of city - wide free public screenings a few days before it was named the year’s best picture at the hong kong film awards . however , the young filmmakers behind the movie continue to suffer blowback from their association with the controversy .

no less seriously , the independent filmmakers express their unflagging commitment to artistic freedom , even in the face of the world’s superpowers and their correspondingly influential film industries . as noted by another one of the ten years contributors , ng kar - leung – who was one the movie’s original conceptualisers and also is one of the key figures behind the new “ ten years international” project – “unfortunately , history always repeats itself . ”

the film went on to do well at the box office despite its setbacks in the united states , eventually grossing around $ 55 million worldwide . [ 4 ] eventually , the film really found its niche as a home video release and at midnight drive - ins , spawning a countless number of edits and re - cuts for the us as well as the international community , and even an r rating in 1983 to allow it to be shown along with creepshow , a romero and stephen king venture . the outcry from fans was such that the version was never shown again , the r - rating certificate being surrendered back to the mpaa . laurel called a " radical rejection " in a press release following the recall . dawn of the dead would first be released on home video in 1983 . see below for a detailed description of these variations .

as ten years producer andrew choi wryly notes , already during the film’s reception in 2016 he had joked with american audiences and critics that “if trump wins , [ they ] could do a ten years : us . ” thus tongue - in - cheek suggesting that the us ought to be as wary of its current government as hong kong , choi reminds us how much a movie can teach audiences about issues impacting our daily lives .

nolan’s oft - collaborator murphy commended the director on creating a gripping film with so little dialogue . “i think he’s really pushing his philosophy and approach to filmmaking with this one , and it’s been wonderful to see him challenging himself , ” said the actor . “that’s what filmmaking should be : pushing yourself to make the most compelling picture . ” murphy also shared a piece of advice for audiences on opening weekend : “get some rest first ! ”

amazon studios is partnering with roadside attractions on an awards - season push , beginning oct . 20 in limited release . the usual on - camera heavy - hitters , julianne moore and in particular michelle williams , are confined to supporting roles . but their gifted young castmates , oakes fegley ( pete’s dragon ) and newcomer millicent simmonds , a deaf actress making a gorgeous debut , give the film a warmth and immediacy that should transcend age barriers .

the iconic setting yields some of the film’s most memorable sequences , giving lachman the luxury of shooting exhibits in both color and black and white . the famous dioramas in the hall of north american mammals provide particularly arresting imagery ; never have taxidermy animals looked so soulful . in another of the plot’s countless connective threads , an icy tableau of minnesota wolves ties back into ben’s recurring nightmares , while other discoveries jibe with his love for collecting curios .

his attempt , of course , fails , but not by much ( the elapsed time between hitler ' s exit and the explosion plays into the film ' s title ) . the remainder of the movie finds elser being interrogated and tortured by nazi officers , including police chief arthur nebe ( burghart klaußner ) and gestapo head heinrich müller ( johann von bülow ) , each of whom believe elser must have worked with a group to conspire against the führer .

if you have ever had to staff a booth at an expo or community fair , and are not the particularly outgoing type , you will appreciate this movie . nestor carbonell ( script writer and star ) does a great job of conveying the anguish and dread of waiting for someone to stop by the table and dreading it when they do . the bulk of the film takes place in k - mart , and trust me , it ' s spot on .

members of the missouri house have a different perspective than missouri senators on ethics .

i ' m extremely skeptical so you ' ll have to prove it . for example , you won the lottery ? come on , i ' m from missouri . the full expression , i ' m from missouri and you ' ll have to show me , dates from about 1880 . some authorities believe it alludes to the missouri compromise of 1820 , whereby missouri was admitted to the union as a slave state and slavery was forbidden in certain other areas , but the connection , if any , is not clear .

: : : : my zwei groschen . bob ' s right about the " show me " state , but i think most people who have heard of the show me state , as such , need only hear " i ' m from missouri , " in the appropriate context , to know that the speaker is expressing skepticism . on the other hand , " i am from missouri " simply would not be heard ; the contraction " i ' m " is virtually mandatory here . of course , if someone expressed doubt that you were really from missouri , you might say " i am from missouri , " assuming that to be true . : : the ss pedantic .

prove it ! missouri ' s unofficial nickname is the show - me state , based on the inhabitants ' reputed skepticism . one legend attributes the phrase ' s popularity to congressman willard duncan vandiver . while a member of the house committee on naval affairs , he said at an 1899 naval banquet , “i come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and democrats , and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me . i am from missouri . you have got to show me . ” even people who didn ' t hail from that state could be heard to question something with “i ' m from missouri . . . you ' ll have to show me . ”

over the past few years , as i’ve been making the migration from the junior’s section to women’s , i’ve found myself in some predicaments over how to dress in the summertime . it is becoming harder and harder to find something to wear that i feel cute , comfortable , and conservative in ( when i want to dress conservatively ) . i honestly think that new lines of shorts , dresses , and skirts get slightly shorter every year . there is little compromise between feeling comfortable wearing the same pair of shorts out in public and comfortable wearing them in 90 degree weather . case in point : right now , as i type this out , sitting in an air - conditioned coffee shop to gain a little reprieve from the 92 - degree day outside , i keep catching myself subconsciously tugging at my cut - off , mom - approved , high - waisted levi shorts , trying to pull them down a little bit closer to my knee cap . i’m not wearing these shorts to be sexy . i’m not wearing these shorts for people to look at me . i’m not wearing these shorts to show off the tattoos on my legs . i’m wearing these shorts because it is fucking 92 degrees . that’s it .

: : : : that must seem mysterious in that abbreviated form . the more complete phrase is " i ' m from missouri . show me . " missouri , a state in middle of the us , is known as the " show me " state . as legend would have it , they take a stubborn pride in being skeptical , not accepting an assertion without visible proof . so the phrase in question literally means " i don ' t quite believe you . show me proof .

the most widely known legend attributes the phrase to missouri ' s u . s . congressman willard duncan vandiver , who served in the united states house of representatives from 1897 to 1903 . while a member of the u . s . house committee on naval affairs , vandiver attended an 1899 naval banquet in philadelphia . in a speech there , he declared , " i come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and democrats , and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me . i am from missouri . you have got to show me . " regardless of whether vandiver coined the phrase , it is certain that his speech helped to popularize the saying .

i love clothes . i’ve always loved dressing up and having my own style . when i was a little girl , my dad let me dress myself as soon as i could pick out an entire outfit , and i have pictures of myself in these carefully curated outfits ; one that comes to mind is 7 - year - old me , wearing a pink and white dress , with one pink and one white shoe , and matching alternating color socks . i am still proud that i made all of my high school formal dresses ( the best was junior semi when my dress was made out of a twister mat ) and wish i still had the duct tape skirt i made in 7th grade . i have always preferred thrift stores and the majority of my outfits are from where i like to call “salvation armani . ” the tradition that signifies the beginning of spring and that i look forward to all winter long is rescuing my summer clothes from the dark , cold , lonely attic and welcoming them back into my wardrobe . summer clothes are my favorite , and i’ll take floral flock over flannels any day .

under the intense scrutiny , the missouri administration , in late august , pulled back from its new model and announced that the university press would continue to operate with its current staff in its current location in columbia . administrators also announced that the columbia campus would take over responsibility for the press from the system , and they created an advisory committee to examine ways to grow and innovate the press .

“we did them with overwhelming bipartisan majorities for most of them , ” richardson said . “and so , i hope the senators that have those concerns will find a way to get over them . because we’re going to pass and we are going to put on the governor’s desk substantive , meaningful ethics reform . and if that means i have to attach ethics reform to every single senate bill that comes over here , i’m willing to do it . ”

so , i guess one solution would be to buy up a few sizes so that the short will extend a whopping half inch further down my leg , but i don’t really want to do that . all i want is to wear clothes i feel good in and that fit so that i am physically comfortable . unfortunately , i don’t see affordable women’s clothing lines helping create a trend of extending the length of shorts and skirts anytime soon . the other solution is to exclusively wear longer skirts and dresses to try and stay cooler on hot days . listen , i’d rather wear a dress than shorts or pants in almost every situation , however a mid - length dress or skirt isn’t going to keep you as cool as shorts will . plus , it’s way more comfortable to wear a pair of shorts than a dress when i want to go for a bike ride or walk at nay aug park with my dog .

“every opportunity i’ve had as a coach , i felt like that was an opportunity to do my job . i feel like the most important part , is that you’re hired to do your job and to do it to the best of your ability . it wasn’t like i was seeking opportunities , but when this came about again , and when it presented itself , when i prayed through things , it seemed this was probably it for me if it works out . if mizzou keeps me for 20 years , then it’s my plan to be here for 20 years , this is it for me . ”

“i try to stay away from clichés and soundbites to make it sound good . i try to be as sincere as possible . mizzou is not just a national brand , it is a world brand . when we recruit , we are not just recruiting in the united states but we are recruiting across the world . i think we have to understand that we need to get the right student athletes to fit what we are trying to do . recruiting is about relationships and working extremely hard . we have to build relationships and help them see what we have to offer . one of the things i want everyone to leave with as fans is that when recruits see our basketball brand on television and when they come to campus and this arena is filled up , it helps me do my job . ”

“it is a great league . you have three teams in the sweet sixteen right now . the one thing that i thought when i was in the sec before is that i don’t think the league got the credit it deserved as a basketball piece . often times , they would say it was because football was so big that they didn’t value basketball but you have great coaching and a lot of guys that played professional basketball . it was a physical league . i think it is a great league and i think the fans are supportive and there are great locations . for any league , you want to be the league with multiple teams in the ncaa tournament because you want everyone to have success and you have three teams in the sweet sixteen . ”

killing is also distractingly obsessed with kubrick . dogtooth and alps used largely static framing , disrupted by characters and objects coming into the frame from the sides or , at especially disconcerting moments , from above and below . the lobster added some slow zooms to the equation , but killing goes full shining : seemingly a third of the shots are either steadicam walk - and - talks down hospital corridors doubling for danny’s bike rides and performed at the same speed , or shots with a fisheye lens that makes even a suburban bedroom look like the overlook hotel’s ballroom . that’s before you factor in the use of ligeti and kidman , the latter knowingly echoing her eyes wide shut role , especially whenever she’s staring into the bedroom mirror . lanthimos remains very talented , but this seems like a little bit of a self - misdirection away from an original visual language into the working through of influences that were seemingly already worked through .

i studied early childhood education and dance while earning my bachelor ' s degree and currently work as a ballet instructor . i love dance as a form of personal expression and joy . fairytale movies have been an important part of my life , teaching me grace , kindness , and the power of staying true to yourself ! portraying charcters is such a rewarding and magical experience !

“i look at this from a standpoint of individual liberty and economic freedom , ” said sen . ed emery , r - lamar . “and in that context , it’s very difficult for me to say just kind of presumptuously all the voters are idiots and we have to regulate their choices . to me , that’s the concern here that we’re basically saying , ‘well voters obviously can’t pick the right people that they can trust . ’ so we as the legislature and the government are going to have to regulate that . ”

“as you know on the floor , i did advocate for the one - year cooling off period – which was the house position , ” said sen . bob onder , a lake saint louis republican who handled the house bill . “in fact , i filed a bill that had a two - year cooling off period . but i think the biggest problem that we see and the problem that this still addresses is the problem of people leaving in the middle of their term and becoming lobbyists . and under this bill that we passed today by a vote of 31 - 1 , we end that practice . ”

martin mcdonagh and his brother john michael started making movies about the same time ; for the guard , the most uncomplicatedly funny and successful of the films they’ve both made , i’m inclined to give the latter the edge . they’re very much brothers with a shared sensibility grown more matched over years spent living together as adults , while they wrote their separate work and watched the same movies : a gift for idiomatically spry humor , often in the insult - directed vein , balancing out an attendant tendency to go heavy on catholic guilt and a fairly simplistic form of moral “complication . ” three billboards outside of ebbing , missouri sets up its premise fast : it’s been many months since her daughter angela ( kathryn newton ) was raped and murdered , no arrests have been made and grieving mother mildred ( frances mcdormand ) is livid . spying those three long - unused billboards on a rarely - used road , she rents them out and puts up a series of provocative messages demanding to know why more hasn’t been done . this doesn’t sit well with the townfolk , most particularly racist cop jason dixon ( sam rockwell ) ; tensions build , etc .

“it’s important that they have trust in the process , ” said haahr , r - springfield . “particularly like issues like the revolving door , we don’t want there to be the appearance of impropriety . so i think these are good substantive moves forward . i understand the concern that the issues that happened last year , these are not directly tied to those . we’ve attempted to take internal steps with the appointment of the ombudsman and to focus on those problems specifically .
