the bigger news is that michael roskam’s crime drama the drop — which marks the late actor james gandolfini’s last film in release — opened on roughly 800 screens for a strong per screen average of around $ 5 , 200 . the film , which should end the weekend with a haul of around $ 4m , is based on the novel by boston native dennis lehane whose other works include mystic river , shutter island and gone baby gone . the drop was originally optioned by chernin entertainment and set up at fox 2000 before fox searchlight came aboard and financed the film ; it was shot in only 34 days . it debuted this year at the toronto film festival ; it also stars tom hardy and noomi rapace .

the film has loose ends and doesn ' t quite catch fire but the ending is excellent and lifts it over the line .

drop impacting on a liquid film with a finite thickness is omnipresent in nature and plays a critical role in numerous industrial processes . the impact can result in either bouncing or merging , which is mainly controlled by the impact inertia of the drop and film thickness . although it is known that impact with inertia beyond a critical value on a thick film promotes merging through the breakage of the interfacial gas layer , here we demonstrate that for an impact inertia less than that critical value , increasing the film thickness leads to a nonmonotonic transition from merging to bouncing to merging and finally to bouncing again . for the first time , two different merging mechanisms are identified and the scaling laws of the nonmonotonic transitions are developed . these results provide important insights into the role of the film thickness in the impact dynamics , which is critical for optimizing operating conditions for spray or ink - jet systems among others .

thus far , both the jakarta international film festival and the jakarta foreign correspondents club have canceled planned screenings of the film in response to the censorship board ' s decision , citing concerns that failure to abide by the board ' s decision could trigger legal repercussions .

on december 1 , indonesia ' s censorship board , the lembaga sensor film , communicated its decision to censor the film balibo to the jakarta international film festival , which then canceled its plans to screen the film the following week . the film , directed by australian robert connolly , depicts a 1975 incident in which indonesian soldiers are alleged to have summarily executed five foreign journalists in the town of balibo in east timor , now known as timor - leste , and subsequently killed a sixth journalist in the timorese capital , dili . the events occurred shortly before east timor was invaded and annexed by indonesia , which occupied the former portuguese colony until 1999 when it gained independence in a united nations - sponsored referendum .

the drop ' s unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic . the movie doesn ' t pull surprises out of thin air for the sole purpose of shocking an audience - it lets them develop naturally .

three films — iron man 2 , avengers : age of ultron , and captain america : civil war — all endured a drop of more than 59 percent , and most other films in the mcu saw their box office drop by more than 50 percent . only iron man , thor , and doctor strange ' s second weekend at the box office dipped less than 50 percent in comparison to their first weeks . so while homecoming saw the largest drop , it ' s not necessarily a huge outlier in the mcu .

when a money drop is stolen , a bartender and his boss get unwanted attention from the local mob . my birthday movie this year is a slow burn . the plot takes a while to unfold and there isn ' t the usual signposting that we ' ve come to expect from most crime dramas , but as the film develops , it becomes more a character study than a crime film . and tom hardy gives a compelling and nuanced performance . while the scenes with the dog became too heavy - handed for my taste and there were times when hardy ' s character is too naive to carry the film , by the end , patience pays off . overall , the drop isn ' t the antidote to crime - lauding shit , but it ' s good enough to show other filmmakers that character - centered dramas are just as compelling as special effects .

. . . alas , the film seems more interested in set - up then any sort of thoughtful , or even logical , conclusion .

in theatres friday , " the drop " co - stars rapace as a neighbour bob befriends after he finds a pit bull left by her dangerous ex ( matthias schoenaerts ) in her trash can . as bob tries to protect her and the puppy , he also gets caught up in the underworld of ruthless chechen mobsters who now run the so - called " drop bar " once owned by marv .

the uk will get to see the film earlier than many parts of the world , hitting uk cinemas on may 24 . it will open a day later in the us on may 25 .

they use the place as a “drop” off location for laundering money . marv is a family man but one capable of ruthlessness and violence when the need arises . the main character is marv’s cousin bob ( tom hardy ) , the bartender .

that problem extends into the film adaptation , a stripped - down , unemphatic version of the story that streamlines the book’s plot and alters the ending , but nonetheless preserves many of its biggest faults . in theory , having real human faces attached to some of the circle ’s more unlikely statements and beliefs should humanize the story , making it more grounded and real , and raising the stakes . in practice , the film version feels even more disconnected from reality than the book . where the book feels deliberately arch , the film just feels vague and out of touch . the modern technological tug - of - war between privacy and security is a real and significant issue . the version of that conflict in the film version of the circle is bland , neutered , and cartoony .

our conversations with mr . docter and his team were generally about the science related to questions at the heart of the film : how do emotions govern the stream of consciousness ? how do emotions color our memories of the past ? what is the emotional life of an 11 - year - old girl like ? ( studies find that the experience of positive emotions begins to drop precipitously in frequency and intensity at that age . )

but the real star of the film is sadness , for “inside out” is a film about loss and what people gain when guided by feelings of sadness . riley loses friends and her home in her move from minnesota . even more poignantly , she has entered the preteen years , which entails a loss of childhood .

as the climax builds to super bowl sunday–when the biggest drop of the year is expected – it becomes clear that bob , if he wants to assure the safety of rocco and nadia as well as hold off the gangsters , will have to make some difficult decisions .

gandolfini died suddenly , at age 51 , shortly after finishing the drop . that leaves us hanging on his every exquisitely timed pause , and sensing the sheer weight of his personality every time he enters a room .

it also has a director , the belgian michaël r roskam , with perfect credentials for poking around in these unexamined male psyches . his last film , bullhead , was about a wounded mutt in human form , played in a galvanising breakthrough performance by this film ' s matthias schoenaerts .

however , the festival did not reveal its opening night film on tuesday , a sign the n . american fest was still negotiating the early slots with studios , who just last week announced the new york film festival debut of three hot properties : david fincher’s “gone girl , ” paul thomas anderson’s “inherent vice” and alejandro gonzalez innaritu’s “birdman . ”

it’s as - yet unknown , but as it’s set prior to 1977’s original film , a new hope , we can surmise han and his crew will be taking on the early days of the empire in some form – and as a standalone film , it doesn’t really have to connect to the other films in the way rogue one chose to .

homecoming ' s drop between the two weekends is certainly the largest of the mcu , but it ' s not too far off from many films in the universe . both the incredible hulk and captain america : the first avenger suffered more than a 60 percent dip from their first to their second weekends at the box office .

brooklyn is a big place . lots of bad things go on there . bad things generate a lot of cash . “all that money has to go somewhere , ” as tom hardy says in a voice - over at the beginning of “the drop . ” the premise of the movie , which crime novelist dennis lehane adapted from his short story “animal rescue , ” is that there are “drop bars” — bars where various illegal enterprises will bring in large sums of cash each week for the mob to collect .

hardy’s bob saginowski is a dark horse of a brooklyn bartender who excels at keeping his head down and looking the other way whenever the chechen mobsters who own the place launder their ill - gotten money by way of a “drop” at the drinking establishment . this slice of working - class gang life is extra notable as the final film appearance by the late , great james gandolfini –perfectly fine as marv , bob’s cousin and boss , who turns out to be the sort of desperate type that tony soprano would have had disposed of with nary a blink .

back to drop bars . cousin marv’s is one . marv ( the late james gandolfini ) is the proprietor . he used to be the owner , until he ran afoul of the chechen mafia . now he works for them , something that still rankles . his chief bartender is bob , and marv really is bob’s cousin .

now here comes “the drop , ” a solid , occasionally gripping crime thriller based on a short story by dennis lehane ( “ mystic river , ” “ gone baby gone ” ) –making his screenwriting debut–and directed by belgium’s michael r . roskam ( whose unsettling “ bullhead ” was a foreign - language oscar nominee ) . there is a whole lot of hardy going on , and “the drop” is at its best when we can observe how the actor slowly peels away the layers from his character in a finely calibrated performance that builds to a satisfying full reveal in the final act .

the weekend’s other new release , freestyle releasing’s “ meet the blacks , ” a parody of the film “the purge , ” did $ 4 . 1 million after debuting on 1 , 011 screens . the indie distributor relied heavily on social media to get fans of comedian mike epps to theaters .

bleecker street expanded the drone thriller “eye in the sky” from 123 theaters to 1 , 029 , picking up $ 4 million . the film , which features one of the late actor alan rickman’s final performances , has earned $ 6 . 1 million in four weeks of release .

the r - rated low - budget film featured a very ethnically diverse cast and the turnout reflected that with two thirds of the crowd being non - white . other demos showed it to play 54 % male and 51 % under 25 . reviews were mixed , but not too important to the box office performance on this one . the b - cinemascore grade was pretty good for a fright film . the four - part purge series has now grossed over $ 362m worldwide but cost less than $ 40m combined to produce .

goldstein went on to note that unlike major blockbusters , which typically unspool in the heart of summer when school is out , “batman v superman” was released in spring , when a much smaller percentage of students were on spring vacation . that may have made the drop - off more severe , he suggested .

“when you’re squaring off with christopher nolan’s ‘dark knight’ trilogy , good luck , ” said jeff bock , box office analyst with exhibitor relations . “the bottom line is it wasn’t a film up to the caliber of previous batman or superman films . ”

hardy’s in good company in “the drop . ” in his last feature film role , gandolfini acquits himself well ; he makes marv’s resentment and self - disgust feel as real , and sizable , as the man’s gut . noomi rapace is bob’s sort - of love interest . she’s largely wasted in the part — not that it’s much of a part — but there are flashes where you can see why rapace took over “prometheus” ( 2012 ) and made for such a memorable lisbeth salander in the swedish adaptations of stieg larsson’s millennium trilogy . but it’s hardy’s movie .

once again , the critically loathed superhero film topped the box office , picking up $ 52 . 4 million . however , that represented a steep 68 % fall from its $ 166 million debut . the results suggest that “batman v superman” will be a front - loaded blockbuster along the lines of “the twilight saga : new moon , ” “harry potter and the deathly hallows : part 2” or “x - men origins : wolverine , ” all of which earned a disproportionate share of their revenues in their initial weekends and suffered similar drop - offs . given that the picture features two of the highest - profile comic - book characters in movie history , the results , which on paper are impressive , are nevertheless being heavily scrutinized .

“it’s a stunning result for a film that we believed strongly in , ” said rory bruer , sony’s president of worldwide distribution . “it’s a combination of the star power , sam miller ‘s direction and the marketing . every spot we had on the film resonated with audiences . it was 60 % female and 41 % of the audience was under 30 , ” so the social - media - marketing aspect worked . gotta give props to screen gems ‘ clint culpepper and his marketing team on this one . also to producer will packer , whose films consistently hit at the box office .

) and stars tom hardy , noomi rapace , matthias schoenaerts , james gandolfini and john ortiz . the film follows a lonely boston bartender who rescues a puppy from a garbage can and becomes the target of the dog’s abusive and mentally unstable former owner . dennis lehane has written the screenplay based on his own short story (

different mob guys drop off money throughout the night . eventually the bar clears except for deeds and nadia . deeds shows nadia that he has a gun , then he goes outside to smoke . nadia cries and warns bob that deeds is planning on shooting him . deeds comes back in and bob offers him the money for the dog . deeds asks how much for nadia and says he’d rather have the money in the safe . bob says he can’t do that and tells him the story of the dead kid .

that’s good , because whenever he’s off - screen the film’s shortcomings become apparent . although michaël r . roskam’s direction is capable enough , it’s untextured and anonymous . the storytelling can get sluggish , which is not a good thing in a movie with an increasingly complicated plot . it includes multiple double crosses , at least two shameless coincidences , and a crucially misattributed homicide . there are aspirations to larger things and deeper emotions — or perhaps that should be larger things and deeper emotions — like marv’s kitchen - sink - drama relationship with his sister ( the gifted ann dowd ) , the bits with the puppy , and bob’s churchgoing . they’re devices at best ( the puppy ) , distractions at worst . “the drop” wants to be more than just a taut , terse thriller — not that there’s anything “just” about achieving such a thing . they’re as rare , and valuable , as first - rate drama . hardy’s presence insures that “the drop” is something more , but only intermittently . even he can do only so much .

among other specialty openings , martha shane and lana wilson ' s documentary after tiller took in $ 15 , 500 from two theaters for a location average of $ 7 , 750 . from oscilloscope , the film recounts the aftermath of the 2009 assassination of dr . george tiller , who performed third - trimester abortions in kansas .

not everything is perfect with “the drop . ” there is an on - the - ball detective ( john ortiz , a stage veteran who was bradley cooper ’s friend in “ silver linings playbook ” ) investigating the robbery who suspects there is more to bob and the situation at the bar than meets the eye , but his involvement turns out to be peripheral at best . the terrific ann dowd of tv’s “the leftovers” barely gets a chance to make an impression as marv’s fed - up sister . and as good as schoenaerts is , he isn’t consistently convincing as an unstable creep .

then on july 28 , focus features releases “atomic blonde , ” an ultra - violent action film starring charlize theron as a highly skilled assassin that has been well received so far . the nbcuniversal - owned distributor is hoping the buzz , plus the fresh concept of a female super - spy , will translate to box - office grosses .

indonesia ' s censorship board lacks the legal authority to issue an automatically enforceable ban , a step that can only be taken by a coordinating body chaired by the office of the attorney general . on december 3 , in response to the board ' s decision , the alliance of independent journalists ( aliansi jurnalis independen , or aji ) , an indonesian journalists ' association , held two screenings of balibo in jakarta , for what it said were educational purposes . the pantau foundation , a media think tank , followed suit with a screening on december 4 . thus far , the government has not officially reacted to these screenings . however , the censorship board ' s decision to censor a film is a common precursor to an official ban and reflects the government ' s position that the film should not be shown .

a crackling brooklyn accent makes us sit up at the start of the drop . it ' s as if ray liotta ' s character from goodfellas had gargled bourbon and tried out a promising impression of christopher walken . we soon realise it ' s emanating from tom hardy , who plays bob , the bartender at a place called marv ' s . this local institution , where a lot of the movie is set , is the designated place where ill - gotten gains in the neighbourhood get stashed in a time - locked safe until the heat has gone .

in what has become a launching pad for awards contenders and starry releases , the toronto film festival , which last year screened oscar winners “12 years a slave” and “gravity , ” will also welcome directorial efforts from “the daily show” host jon stewart , chris rock and “captain america , ” himself , chris evans .

the good lie philippe falardeau , usa world premiere academy award winner reese witherspoon and an ensemble of young sudanese actors — all of whom have direct personal ties to the war in their country — bring the inspiring and uplifting story of the lost boys of the sudan to the screen in a film about heartbreak and hope , survival and triumph . also starring corey stoll , arnold oceng , kuoth wiel , ger duany , emmauel jal and femi oguns .

audiences in search of fresh product are also coming out for dolphin tale 2 , which is very kid - friendly family film from alcon entertainment . its core audience comes out on saturday and sunday and it already has an a cinemascore which is good news for word - of - mouth . in fact , it could experience a nice boost tomorrow , but at the moment looks to take under the first installment’s $ 19m from 2011 with about $ 15m to $ 16m for the three - day weekend . warner bros . has a nice window for this film to play for the next couple of weeks before the 3 - d , animated stop - motion the boxtrolls comes out on september 26th .

in what’s perhaps the first science - fiction film — georges méliès’s 1902 marvel “a trip to the moon” — a group of astronomers lands in the man in the moon’s eye . they’re soon taken prisoner by moon men , but a quick - witted astronomer clobbers the king and they escape , with one earthling vanquishing moon men with an umbrella . humans have been zapping extraterrestrials ever since . it’s so easy to fight the unknown , at least in movies .

“inside out” is about how five emotions — personified as the characters anger , disgust , fear , sadness and joy — grapple for control of the mind of an 11 - year - old girl named riley during the tumult of a move from minnesota to san francisco . ( one of us suggested that the film include the full array of emotions now studied in science , but mr . docter rejected this idea for the simple reason that the story could handle only five or six characters . )

but if you have been itching to witness hardy at full throttle , here is your chance . the actor should be , by all rights , at the same level by now as michael fassbender and benedict cumberbatch , two other fantastically talented u . k . imports who have built up passionate cults in recent years . “the drop” is a good start . but let’s hope that when hardy takes his bow as the lead in the resurrected “mad max : fury road” next may , he will get the full notice and opportunities that he rightly deserves .

( before going any further , some slight geographical explanation is in order . “brooklyn” ? lehane is very much a boston novelist , as “mystic river , ” “gone baby gone , ” and “shutter island” famously attest . and both “animal rescue” and his novel “the drop , ” which lehane adapted from his screenplay , are set in dorchester . but the movie isn’t . well , you know how hollywood is . )

ultimately , the circle is a riff on george orwell’s 1984 where big brother is the online world at large — the internet’s endless demand for validation and response , the fear of missing out , the fear of not having a presence . but the threats are abstract , toothless , and frequently silly . the idea of people living solely to maximize their online fandom has been done before , and done better . eggers’ book pushes past satire into dark farce , where the story’s hyperbole feels more like a gag than a coherent warning about the future . the film version doesn’t even feel pointed enough to be satire .

clown horror film ' it ' breaks box office records

the movie took in $ 123 million in its opening weekend , setting records for both the biggest september weekend opening and the biggest horror movie opening weekend of all time .

) as bob , james gandolfini ( from the sopranos ) as marv , and noomi raplace ( from prometheus ) and nadia . bob and marv are cousins who run a bar . the bar is run as a mobster drop location . basically , gang members come here to make payment drops which are given to the chechens . it is indicated that marv once used to be more than someone who runs a bar for a mob leader . the bar gets robbed one night and the head of the mob gang tells bob and marv to get his money back .

“batman v superman : dawn of justice” appears to be losing steam as it ends its second weekend in theaters . once again , the critically loathed superhero film topped the box office , picking up $ 52 . 4 million . however , that represented a steep 68 % fall from its $ 166 million debut . the results suggest that “batman v superman” will be [ … ]

noteworthy : the second weekend of the identical barely made it into the top 20 ; the last installment of atlas shrugged , based on the seminal ayn rand book , opened this weekend .

as played by tom hardy , bob is at once stolid and kind and a bit dull . or is he ? one of the things that makes hardy’s performance the best thing in “the drop” is his ability to suggest ever so slightly that there’s more going on with bob than you might at first think . the man is definitely a bit of a puzzle . he goes to 8 o’clock mass every morning — yet never takes communion . he lives alone and seems to have no friends — yet when he encounters an abandoned puppy , he takes him in . bob’s a tough guy who’s a softie — or maybe the other way around . that sounds like the worst sort of pulp cliche . hardy turns it into a flesh - and - blood character . ( speaking of blood , it’s not seen that often in “the drop . ” when it is , though , watch out — or look away . ) hardy makes bob’s contradictions — all right , his implausibilities — thoroughly believable .

over 3 , 000 actors auditioned to play han solo in disney’s upcoming star wars spin - off film focusing on the iconic character’s younger years , but it was 26 - year - old alden ehrenreich – a rising star , but not a household name yet – who bagged the massive role in july 2016 . here’s everything you need to know about the man stepping into harrison ford’s shoes .

" i had no idea . it was in the script , i just hadn ' t read it , " hardy said with a laugh during an interview at the toronto international film festival . " that ' s what happens when you send me in . i take care of business even if i don ' t know what ' s going on .

" it ' s incredible that indonesian officials believe that allowing their people to see this film would harm , rather than improve , the country ' s image abroad , " pearson said . " the government is missing a critical opportunity to show domestic and international observers that it is finally willing to open up closed chapters of history for public discussion . "

this is a film full of character and atmosphere and which pays homage to all of roskam’s favourite filmmakers . denis lehane’s screenplay , based on one of hios own stories , is just a little too contrived and mechanical . it’s as if the plot is almost an afterthought that has been put in place to give the actors a platform on which to perform .

domestically , the warner bros . release has picked up a hefty $ 261 . 4 million . the major problem facing the studio is it doesn’t just need “batman v superman” to be a hit , it needs it to be so fervently embraced that fans will show up to see sequels and spinoffs for years to come . the film is intended to kick off an interconnected cinematic universe of dc comics characters that warner bros . hopes will rival what marvel has achieved with the avengers films .

] there are places in my neighborhood no one ever thinks about . you see them every day and every day you forget about them . these are the places where all the things happen that people are * not * allowed to see . you see , in brooklyn , money changes hands all night long . it ' s just not the kind you can deposit in a bank . all that money needs to end up somewhere . they call it a drop bar . a bar the bosses choose randomly each night to be the safe for an entire city . you never . . .

five years ago , the writer and director pete docter of pixar reached out to us to talk over an idea for a film , one that would portray how emotions work inside a person’s head and at the same time shape a person’s outer life with other people . he wanted to do this all in the mind of an 11 - year - old girl as she navigated a few difficult days in her life .

literally all i want from the han solo movie is the falcon making the kessel run , and a boba fett cameo .

we see this in “inside out . ” sadness gradually takes control of riley’s thought processes about the changes she is going through . this is most evident when sadness adds blue hues to the images of riley’s memories of her life in minnesota . scientific studies find that our current emotions shape what we remember of the past . this is a vital function of sadness in the film : it guides riley to recognize the changes she is going through and what she has lost , which sets the stage for her to develop new facets of her identity .

ehrenreich studied acting at new york university but never actually finished his degree . during his time in the big apple , he founded his own acting company and they’d perform self - penned material in downtown bars and intimate theatre spaces . he made his movie debut in 2009’s tetro , a well - received but little - seen drama from legendary director francis ford coppola . reviewing the movie at the time , revered film critic roger ebert called ehrenreich “the new leonardo dicaprio” .

in the holdover department , disney’s “zootopia” took second place , with $ 20 million , pushing the animated hit’s domestic total to $ 275 . 9 million . in its second weekend , universal’s “my big fat greek wedding 2” showed some endurance , racking up $ 11 . 1 million , a slender 38 % drop from its opening weekend . the romantic comedy sequel has earned $ 36 . 5 million after two weeks of release . sony’s “miracles from heaven” rounded out the top five , grossing $ 7 . 5 million and pushing its total to $ 46 . 8 million .

next weekend , we have a mix of films coming into the marketplace with high hopes that audiences will start coming back to theaters . expectations are high for the sci - fi action thriller the maze runner which already opened internationally to strong numbers , outpacing divergent , which is great news for fox which is distributing this film based on the ya novel by james dashner . the film , which stars dylan o’brien from mtv’s teen wolf , will have the great advantage of being on all 350 imax screens next weekend and is tracking better than divergent with the young male demo . it is expected to outpace r - rated the walk among the tombstones , the next actioner from liam neeson which i hear is pretty darn good . the latest from neeson is tracking better than non - stop right now which opened to $ 28m in february and went on to gross over $ 200m worldwide . tombstones is not expected to open to that number , but with tracking in the toilet lately , anything could happen . finally , the jason bateman - tina fey , - adam driver comedy this is where i leave you from warner bros . is tracking best with older females and is not expected to set the world on fire , but there’s been nothing in the marketplace for older women since tammy .

belinda mcclory

belinda mcclory <EOT> it’ll star belinda mcclory ( hewitt won’t work with any other ) and one male actor .

belinda mcclory revisits ozploitation in turkey shoot remake | daily review : film , stage and music reviews , interviews and more .

" take off your shirt " belinda mcclory ( born november 1 , 1968 ) is an australian actress who played switch in the matrix .

he saw her on the tv , cast her to star in his movie – and now he’s married her . belinda mcclory tells how the writer / director of redball , john hewitt , found her . andrew l . urban reports .

ginnane has decided to bring ozploitation back to oz , in a remake directed and written by jon hewitt with co - writer belinda mcclory . mcclory , who is best known as an actor for her work in film ( t he matrix ) , tv and on stage , also stars in turkey shoot as meredith baxter , a tv executive desperate for ratings .

belinda’s first professional job as an actor was at the age of 14 opposite geoffrey rush and john wood in jim sharman’s production of sunrise for the sa theatre company .

belinda mcclory was born in 1968 in adelaide , south australia , australia . she is an actress and writer , known for the matrix ( 1999 ) , x ( 2011 ) and mullet ( 2001 ) . she has been married to jon hewitt since january 30 , 1999 .

with mcclory in the limo were husband hewitt , and matrix co - star hugo weaving with his partner kirsty .

belinda has also written and script edited numerous feature films and was the recipient of the seaborn - walford - foundation award for the screen adaptation of patrick white’s “the eye of the storm” .

hewitt didn’t realise then that mcclory was the daughter of a cop and knew all about police lives being shattered by the work .

john hewitt was watching janus , the police drama series on abc , back then in 1994 , and was struck by belinda mcclory’s on screen presence and her overall acting skills . effortless , natural , vulnerable , sensitive , strong…his mind ticking off the qualities . he set about writing the screenplay for his intended ‘police revenge fantasy’ redball , with belinda playing the central role of homicide detective jj wilson . she was to portray a frustrated detective – one of several – who is hamstrung in her efforts to bring a criminal – a child killer - to justice .

now , five years later , with the film releasing ( finally ) and being launched internationally at the 1999 cannes film festival , mcclory and hewitt are married , and have spent two of their eight married weeks in america , specifically for the premiere of the matrix , in which mcclory plays switch , a revolutionary in the company of morpheus ( laurence fishburne ) .

we are sitting in one of the smallest cafes in east sydney , a new place with about eight small tables shuffled into a wedge shape space adjacent to a tiny kitchen . mcclory is still jet lagged and tired from the los angeles trip , which included a side - trip to las vegas so they could reenact their wedding in the ‘elvis’ chapel . for fun . mcclory orders chicken done in green tea and i go for the cold rare roast beef salad .

" it was a bit scary , " says mcclory of the west hollywood premiere . " i hadn’t been warned how vocal the american audiences can get…when we got out of the limo there were a couple of thousand people and they just screamed ! "

and that’s why mcclory is concerned that the film is upsetting some police ( particularly the victorian police ) with its brutal honesty about police procedures , the temptations and the ugly side of law enforcement . " i did it for other motives – and john wrote it as a revenge fantasy for cops ; he loves the police . "

the contrast between these two films in which mcclory appears could not be greater . redball is a low budget thriller shot over a few weekends in melbourne ; the actors had to turn up in their own clothes and they got paid late . the matrix is a big budget sci fi action drama with hundreds of special effects , shot over five months in sydney .

mcclory thrived on working with hewitt ( but she hastens to add that it was not an on - set affair . " i was very irish about it – i didn’t sleep with him until a year later… " ) . " it was great – john let us do what we felt ; the camera just followed us . it was very free and organic , to coin a wanky phrase . "

mcclory thinks she has been naïve about this ; " i thought people would see it on a human level , perhaps with some understanding of what these people go through . they have to shut off half of themselves to do the work . i never expected the film to be seen as an indictment . and i though the police would at least privately acknowledge the struggle involved in dealing with the job… . "

but that freedom clearly worked for mcclory ( indeed , all the cast ) because her performance is sensational . " at the time , " she says matter of factly , " i knew i was doing something but i didn’t know what that was . it wasn’t until i saw the finished film that i realised i was doing a good job . " she says this with no sign of self - aggrendisement , but clearly some pride .

adjusting to married life , mcclory and hewitt have also teamed up professionally – as writers . they are working on several projects , but one that stands out is called grim . " john is writing this one on his own . we’re hoping to shoot it later this year . it’s a one take movie , shot in two hours over one weekend . it’ll take a lot of co - ordination but i think it can be done . "

mcclory overcomes her jet lag and talks amicably , occasionally animated by the subject ; no doubt about it , she has an emotional investment in her role and in the film . " look , at 30 , i am very happy to be doing this kind of role . there aren’t many scripts with big female roles like this . here is a detective doing her job – and i want people to be clear that she’s cracking up not because she’s a chick but because of the work . "

hewitt gathered a lot of his material like many writers do – just living his life . he once worked in a melbourne pub where the major crime squad gathers to drink and unwind . " he heard their stories , and there is also stuff that comes from the papers . but what doesn’t come across in the papers , " says mcclory , " is the cops’ humanity . we both love cops – so much so , " she says , " i took a role in blue heelers as a good cop just to show the victorian police i was an actress – i could play good cop , too . "

" my father was a cop until i was 12 , " she says . " he was in plain clothes cib…he adored the job but it changed him and he brought that home . no - one but police understand it…it made him an insomniac and an alcoholic . our home was violent… . because police carry around the horror perpetually . you can’t not be effected by what you see every day . that’s why this character of jj wilson appealed to me .

set in a dystopian future where a group of people in a prison camp are forced to hunt and kill each other . produced by

we asked her a few questions about the remake , which is currently in limited theatrical release .

i first watched turkey shoot in the late ’90s . it was a great introduction to ozploitation . since meeting my husband jon hewitt , my cinema palette has become decidedly more catholic . he’s introduced me to a much more diverse range of genres , ozploitation being one of them . the original turkey shoot is a little dated now , but still a guilty pleasure !

when tony ginnane approached us to remake one of his old movies , we trawled his back - catalogue and narrowed it down to turkey shoot and thirst . we already have our own vampire project ( avampyr ) in development , so we chose turkey shoot .

simplistically , i think the lone person stepping up and making a difference / changing the world story is a direct response to a world constantly at war . people feel smaller and less connected in the world , our technology is running us ragged 24 / 7 . people are tired and want change , that’s why the hero / survivor stories are so strong at the moment . it’s cinematic political fantasy .

this is the fourth screenplay i’ve co - written that has been produced – darklovestory , x , turkey shoot and acolytes ( uncredited ) . since making redball in 1996 , jon and i have written maybe 20 screenplays together . not all of them see the light of day !

writing is always a challenge , but collaboration helps me overcome the tyranny of the blank page . writing with jon is always fun . sure we fight sometimes , but that only pushes the work into a rigorous , more detailed place – we keep each other on our toes .

having confidence in the strength of your material in the face of the constant evaluation and intervention that is script development ; whilst also being open to the good ideas that come with it .

you can’t do either on your own , film just involves a lot more people . in the theatre , a production could involve 50 people in order to tell a story . on the matrix it was over 400 ! at script level on turkey shoot we were lucky enough to work with hollywood script editor sheila hanahan taylor . her knowledge and insights into the action / adventure genre were invaluable to us . i feel very lucky to have worked with her – she loves genre and was tough but fair !

i’ve always believed that a film script is a blueprint for something else , and if you choose your fellow storytellers well , it’s exciting and exhilarating to see it transform in a way that is sometimes beyond your wildest dreams . you’re only as good as the people you work with . i think in theatre the emphasis is very much on the spoken word , it’s central with images or stage pictures assisting audience imagination , whereas there’s so much more in the toy box in film than the script to tell the story . don’t get me wrong – a film script has to be rich and detailed and completely water - tight , but it doesn’t have to be king .

your films as an actor have included the matrix and redball – action / violence films - but this is a long way from your more rarified theatre work . is that a conscious choice ?

i don’t think so . i’m attracted to strong , interesting female roles period . regardless of the medium , i enjoy playing women with dramatic story arcs ( hopefully with a dark side ) that also embrace some sort of social commentary . i have been extremely lucky in the diversity of work that has presented itself over the years . and i haven’t been afraid to say no .

i don’t . in fact i’ve never been attracted to the action / adventure genre , bond and bourne and the original mad max aside – which is why i agreed to do turkey shoot . it was a challenge to try and write in this style , to inject great female roles and a social conscience into a male - oriented genre that is usually just content to kick ass and blow shit up .

we didn’t want to do an homage to campy schlock which a straight remake would have been , but the central story trope of humans hunting humans for entertainment has a long history in the action / adventure genre – most dangerous game , running man , battle royale , etc . a major influence for me was a reality tv show i saw on us television whose subject was child cage fighting . it was like the voice , but instead of singing , these children were literally fighting each other to get into the next round . it was so disturbing and macabre . i thought , how far can this go ? where are we going as a society when this is entertainment ? the premise in turkey shoot is simply an extension of that – live death on tv for ratings supremacy .

i think audiences are as adventurous now as they were 30 years ago , it’s just mainstream filmmaking that has become more conservative . could last tango in paris be made today ? also , the way audiences consume movies is completely different now – challenging and adventurous films ( including most non - english language films ) are mostly experienced outside of a traditional cinema release these days .

you’ve got to remember what your target audience wants and deliver it in a fast moving and entertaining way . but that doesn’t stop you from sneaking - in a rich and challenging sub - text . we wanted to make a serpentine thriller that had some meat on it’s bones .

the fabulous thing about my work is that one thing sort of leads into another . acting is my first love , i’ve been working professionally since i was 14 and hopefully i will always find some sort of work , especially in the theatre . but jon and i continue to work on our own film projects and i do enjoy script editing too . i have just been approached to write and direct a short film that will be part of an all - female horror anthology . if i throw enough mud , hopefully some of it will stick ! i want to do it all .

in 2002 , subbu acted in a film directed by agathiyan , " kadhal samrajyam " , as one of its lead actors , however , after the release of the soundtrack , the film was shelved and was never released .

it seems to be a season of " boys "  both young and not so young ( don ' t forget " panchathanthiram " ) . p . a . art productions is all set for its " kadhal samrajyam " .

kadhal samrajyam is a 2002 tamil action - romance film , directed by agathiyan and produced by subbu . this film stars aravind akash , anjana , spb charan , yugendran , santhoshi , venkat prabhu , goutham in the lead role . the films soundtrack and background score were composed by yuvan shankar raja with lyrics by agathiyan .

development regarding the film ' s script commenced in the polladhavan " ( 1980 ) and from mammootty ' s looks in the malayalam film " samrajyam " ( 1990 ) .

it was garments everywhere . one could see a group of girls stitching clothes in a section , while another was engaged in needlework . one is referring to the scene of p . a . art production ' s ` ` kadal samrajyam . ' ' it was a garment unit in velachery . the film is full of youth . but it is not the usual storyline one comes across , says director agathiyan , who also has taken care of the screenplay and dialogue . he has woven the story with a dance school as the backdrop . that explains the presence of gautham . ` ` for the first time i am writing all the seven songs . prasanthi , a malaysian girl , has sung a song . gangai amaran ' s son venkat prabhu , malaysia vasudevan ' s son yugendran and s . p . balasubramanian ' s son charan have jointly sung a song and have also acted for it . i feel that people will sit up and take notice at yuvan shanker raja after this film , " says the director . ` ` after three and a half years i am coming back to the tamil scene and it is a re - entry for me . ' '

after " red " it will be " raja " . this time round the female leads for the ajit starrer are jotika and priyanka trivedi . after " poovellam un vaasam " , " raja " brings jo and ajit together . and it is ezhil who is at the helm again . ezhil ' s directorial debut began very successfully with " thulladha manamum thullum " , that starred vijay and simran . though ezhil also did " pennin manadhai thottu " and " poovellam . . . " he has opted for the same technical team that worked with him in his maiden venture , for " raja " . it means " raja " s composer will be s . a . rajkumar once again . probably the box office bonanza that " thulladha . . . " offered made ezhil opt for the same crew all over again . and " raja " promises to be an action and emotion packed fare from the ajit - ezhil duo .

parthiban knows the art of doing different things . . . differently . so when music critic subbudu gave the nod to play the role of a critic in parthiban ' s " ivan " , the film made news . " ivan " is now much talked about for another unique feature  the film has nearly 20 villains ! name a " villain " and he is there in " ivan " . yet surprisingly " ivan " , that stars parthiban , soundarya and meena , is neither a complete action film nor does it have more than a couple of fights ! then strange should be the ways of villainy in " ivan " . the proposition could prove interesting . the hero is a do - gooder and a motivating force , they say  of course , that ' s nothing different .

it looks as if we ' ll never see the last of our cinematic " goddesses " . the next " amman " to enter the fray is actress meena as " padai veetu amman " . but the making of the film lends some interesting insights . vinu chakravarthy is a sorcerer who tries to quell the power of the deity , in the film . the actor refused the role straightway  devi being his family deity .

the makers refused to relent and vinu chakravarthy sought the permission of his spiritual guru before accepting the role . and again not without condition  the actor in the face and form of vinu chakravarthy should not be shown decrying the goddess , even if it is only in acting .

the director did not have to worry at all . the graphics obsession has paved the way for many a fantasy . so with the help of efx graphics , they intend to change the appearance of the " magician " every time he indulges in an act against the deity .

it is agathiyan who will wield the megaphone for this comedy venture , which has an impressive array of sons of famous fathers ( malaysia vasudevan , s . p . balasubramaniam , gangai amaran and ` major ' sunderrajan )  yugendran , s . p . b . charan , venkat prabhu and goutham  talented youngsters who deserve a break . aravind is another hero . the female interests of the film are television artiste santhoshi and anjana from mumbai . may the best boys and girls win .

when vijay turned star , many existing shows were shown the way out . few escaped the axe  maximum media ' s " apoorva raagangal " was one . and not without reason . with innovation as the key , the brain behind the project , subhashri thanikachalam , had conceived a novel way of presenting light music shows .

leading playback singers were roped in to croon with the fresh talents . so naturally for every young singer who got a chance , it was a dream come true ! as some of the winners , gurucharan , ranjith , mahathi and srivardhini said , it was the experience of a lifetime .

now a new " apoorva . . . " show , revamped and refurbished , comes to your homes , every sunday , from 10 to 11 a . m . the earlier concept and manner of execution continue , but the setting , the duration , the number of rounds and most importantly , the anchor , are different . yugendran , the singer , is the presenter  his casual approach , sense of humour and music acumen should add pep to " apoorva . . . " . in fact , vijay ' s programming head , suresh iyer wanted the name of the show changed too  but subhashri was reluctant .

naturally . . . after all " apoorva raagangal " has carved a niche for itself as a name to reckon with in the light music scenario on television . so the changed version is a case of old wine all right . . . but the new bottle does look enticing !

the last month or so has not been a good time for tamil music fans . we ' ve been given subpar work by even the greats like ilayaraja and a . r . rahman , and it ' s been quite a long time since i ' ve heard a good tamil album i could get into . the last good album was " hey ! nee romba alagaa irukka " and it ' s been a while since that came out .

being a yuvan shankar raja fan , i was pinning all my hopes on ysr to produce the next good album .

thankfully , he does not disappoint , and we have some very nice songs for his new album . this is not a classic album , and it won ' t go down in history as the best , but it ' ll bring my attention back to tamil music from hindi music ( i ' ve been listening to " mera yaar ki shaadi hai " ' s superlative soundtrack in recent days ) .

oh yes - - starring in this film are spb charan , yugendran , and a couple of other singers . that ' s one major hype - mark for this movie . we ' ve had dance masters become heroes ; next directors are becoming heroes ; and now singers are becoming heroes .

melodious music , melodious singing , and good lyrics . the more i listen to this song , the more i discover to like . it ' s a great song of first love , and a great way to start off the soundtrack . balram is fantastic , proving his mettle after " paarthaalae paravasam . " gopika poornima has a great voice as well . both singers have done very well . i ' m liking this song quite a bit . between a very nice and an excellent .

we have a youth song sung with excitement by shankar mahadevan . the lyrics are the usual youth song lyrics , though there are some funny lines here and there ( " ava paesum english - a kaettukko / puriyaatti thalaiyai mattum aattikko ! " ) the beat is very fast and very good , and i ' d like to see this song picturized . it ' s a youth song , but with a great beat , and god help me , despite the lyrics , i like this song ( especially the chorus instrumental ! ) very nice .

spb and sujatha , who have been singing duets from since before i was even born , continue with a pretty good love song . the music isn ' t as modern and as nice as the other songs , and the lyrics aren ' t that great , either , making this song a step down from the previous songs , but it ' s still pretty good . nice .

aha . what a beautiful song . karthik , who ' s been given the dumbest songs to sing in other films , here melodiously sings a beautiful sad song with excellent music and excellent lyrics . this is just a beautiful song and the best on the album . i simply love it . the instruments used are excellent , the singing is excellent , the lyrics are excellent . excellent .

at first listen , this song begged to be labeled the worst song on the album . but it ' ll grow on you . the music will grow on you and chitra sivaraman ' s singing will grow on you . the lyrics - - not that great - - do provide a few insights as to what the story of this film is going to be about ( i ' m not optimistic - - " vidinjaakka kalaanam / moonu paeru maappillai " doesn ' t seem like the best plot - line , but we ' ll see ) . maybe the worst song on the album , but in a good album like this , that ' s not a bad thing . nice .

wow . another great song . the music is just innovative and different . the singing is appropriate and beautiful . the lyrics are pretty good . this is not the kind of song for everyone , but i like it a great deal . spb charan does quite well . excellent .

remember the " wayawayaho " song from " i love you daa " ? this song reminded me of that quite a great deal . here ' s a youth song from the female point of view . pretty good youth music , pretty good singing , but the problem lies with the lyrics . ( does " naan chicken soup " really mean anything ? ) this is a good song to listen to , but the lyrics kind of bring it down a little . between a nice and a very nice .

an okay instrumental , except for the fact that i don ' t really see its point of being . why include it at all ? it ' s not really that great an instrumental . it ' s all right . nothing great . nice .
