Trivia: It is an American live-action adventure comedy film produced by Universal Pictures, based on the television cartoon The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show by Jay Ward. The animated characters Rocky and Bullwinkle shared the screen with live actors portraying Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris Badenov (Jason Alexander), Natasha Fatale (Rene Russo). The film also featured supporting roles done by Piper Perabo, Randy Quaid, Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson.[1] June Foray reprised her role as Rocky, whilst Keith Scott voices Bullwinkle and the film's narrator.
This film is also notable for its ensemble cast featuring guest appearances by performers including Paget Brewster, Janeane Garofalo, John Goodman, David Allen Grier, Don Novello, Jon Polito, Carl Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jonathan Winters.
Released in 2000, The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle was the third film in four years to have been a Jay Ward cartoon adaptation (George of the Jungle (1997) and Dudley Do-Right (1999) having preceded it). On a $76 million budget the film grossed $35 million worldwide. In the end credits, Rocky, Bullwinkle, Boris, Natasha, and Fearless Leader, in their original animated designs against a black background, fight for control of the credits and alternatively display each of the major credits as if they are turning a revolving wall panel with the credits printed on it. Then the end credits begin to change on their own while the characters chase each other in varying combinations. Then the minor end credits begin to scroll up normally with one last display of Rocky and Bullwinkle seated and waving to the audience.

Trivia: It is an American comedy thriller film starring Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Jennifer Lopez as New York City transit cops and Robert Blake as their iron-fisted boss. After losing his job, Harrelson's character plots to hijack and then rob the "money train" which hauls collected fare revenues for the New York City Subway from the system's stations. The subway car used as the money train in the film is a modified R21 subway car.[2] The rolling stock was modified by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and film crew into an imposing subway train covered in silver armor plating and equipped with flashing orange lights and sliding barred doors, like those on a jail cell. After production, the car was donated to the New York Transit Museum, and is currently stored at the Coney Island Complex, as of February 2010. Other cars were used as props in the movie.[2]
Four additional R30s were used for filming on New York City Subway property. These four cars were 8463, 8510, 8558, and 8569.[2]
The actual money train resembled a normal maintenance train painted yellow with black diagonal stripes. The New York City subway system retired its money trains in 2006; the introduction of the MetroCard and computerized vending machines that allowed fare payment by credit card have dramatically reduced the number of coins stored in subway stations.

Sony Pictures Studios - 10202 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City, California, USA (studio).
Reception: The film took in $35,431,113 at the North American box office, including $10,608,297 on its opening weekend.[3] With a budget at an estimated $68,000,000 and a box office total of approximately $77 million, the film was a moderate box office bomb.[4] It was generally poorly received by film critics,[5] described by one reviewer as "a loud and truly pointless action-comedy".[6] Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a "Rotten" rating of 22% based on 32 reviews.
In addition to its middling reviews, the film was vilified for its portrayal of a man robbing a ticket booth by running a rubber tube around the bulletproof partition and dousing the attendant with an unknown flammable liquid, then threatening to set them on fire. This crime was repeated in real life after the film's release, although the police did not think the similar crime was related to the film. Nevertheless, many people including Bob Dole called for a boycott of the film.
The original music score by Mark Mancina was released in March 2011 by La-La Land Records as a limited edition of 3000 copies. The album features approximately 41 minutes of music across 17 tracks. Additional music is composed by John Van Tongeren.
Two days after the film opened, two men poured petrol over a ticket booth on the Brooklyn subway and set it alight in an incident similar to the one depicted in the film. The booth attendant was burned and later died of his injuries. Consequently New York subway workers called for a boycott of the film and the removal of all the posters from every station. Republican senator Bob Dole quickly came out in support of them. Columbia Pictures refused to bow to their demands.

The subway car used as the money train in the film is a modified R21 subway car. The car was modified by the Metropolitan Transit Authority and film crew in a way that looks absolutely nothing like the actual revenue collection trains used in the system. After production, the car was donated to the New York City Transit Museum. It currently is stored at the Coney Island Yard in Brooklyn as part of the museum car fleet and was briefly on display at the New York City Transit Museum.

While there are scenes that show R30 class subway trains running on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, this would be physically impossible in reality. Due to NYC's subway having been constructed by competing companies, trains for the lettered lines would not fit on the numbered lines as they are too wide. IRT trains are narrower and shorter than BMT/IND trains.

The Wall Street station scenes were filmed at the Union Square station on the IRT Lexington Ave. line. The 33rd Street station is the real one, on the same line. All scenes filmed on the subway set featured retired carbon steel R-30 subway cars, painted red. Scenes filmed on the actual New York subway featured stainless steel R-62 cars.

R30 trains were retired from passenger service in 1993, these trains along with the IRT sized R33 and R36 trains were among the last in the system to never have air conditioning. The R30 would have become too heavy if air conditioning was added.

Most of the subway scenes were filmed on a 4000-foot-long set built to resemble a typical four-track New York subway trunk line. It included three stations, all of which were built as local stops with the platforms on the outside of the outer tracks. Included were I-beams between each track, spaced five feet apart just as they are in New York. The ceiling, however, was much higher than on any actual New York subway line.

This boasts the distinction of having one of the longest sets ever constructed for a film. At over 3000 feet long, 20 feet high and four railway tracks wide, the set was roughly the same size as two Empire State building lying side by side. The original plan was to film in the real New York subway but the logistics proved too problematic.

Despite the fact that this was filmed in Super 35, "Filmed in Panavision" is listed in the end credits.
It is impossible to "bleed the brakes" or otherwise dump out compressed air on any NYC subway car and force a runaway condition. When air pressure is lost on a subway car, it actually engages the brakes. This is a common fail-safe in rapid transit and railroad systems.
Originally, the movie was developed by director Tony Scott and writer Doug Richardson. After some time Scott left the project and was replaced by Joseph Ruben, who fired Richardson and had the script rewritten. Quotes: 1. John: "No, you ain't gonna hit him." Charlie: "Why not?" John: "Because I'm gonna hit him!" [smacks a transit cop in the face] 2. Grace Santiago: [to Charlie] "Should we break this up? They're tuggin' at his collar for dear life over there."

Trivia: It is an British-American science fiction film, the third installment in the The Chronicles of Riddick film series. Produced by and starring Vin Diesel as the title character, Riddick is written and directed by David Twohy, who previously wrote and directed the first two installments, Pitch Black (2000) and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004). The film was released on September 4, 2013, in the UK and Ireland, and September 6, 2013, in the United States. It was shown in both conventional and IMAX Digital theaters.
Filming Locations: Montreal, Québec, Canada.
Vin Diesel agreed to make a cameo appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) in exchange for the rights to the "Riddick" franchise from Universal Pictures. This allowed him to produce this film independently.

When Riddick steps into the identifier for the emergency beacon, the stats on him read: "Richard B. Riddick. Escaped convict. Murderer." This is how he introduced himself to the character of Paris in Pitch Black (2000).

"Riddick" takes place 5 years after the previous film "The Chronicles of Riddick", which was set 5 years after the original film "Pitch Black". Which means, "Riddick" takes place a decade after "Pitch Black". "Riddick" was released 13 years after "Pitch Black".

Vin Diesel's original vision was to have the "Chronicles of Riddick" become like J.R.R Tolkien's Middle-Earth. "Pitch Black" was to serve like "The Hobbit", to be a stand alone film to establish the universe, and to have a trilogy of the "Chronicles of Riddick" serving like "The Lord of the Rings".

Keri Hilson auditioned for the role of Dahl. The role went to Katee Sackhoff but David Twohy was so impressed with Hilson's charisma that wrote a small role for her in the film.

Vin Diesel wanted the movie to be shot on 35mm film, but due to the films low budget paired with large number of visual effect shots, the movie had to be shot digitally. As a compromise, director David Twohy added a subtle film grain effect throughout the film.

When asking Riddick about the events of Pitch Black, Johns mentions that the system has two suns. In that film, the system is shown with three suns.
The "exploding bomb" shoulder patch worn by Johns' mercenaries is an actual U.S. Army shoulder patch, of the 52nd Ordnance Group (EOD).

While in chains, Riddick "predicts" that he'll kill Santana within a 5 second window. After doing so, he exclaims, " I like to be a man of my word." Riddick can be seen in similar circumstances in previous installments. In the animated short "Dark Fury", Riddick told the head merc Junner, that he would bury his weapon in Junner's eye. In the film "Chronicles of Riddick", he threatened to kill a prison guard with a metal "tea cup" after witnessing his abuse of Kyra. Needless to say, that each opponent met their ends exactly how Riddick predicted.

Trivia: It is an American thriller film directed by Denis Villeneuve. The film has an ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Maria Bello, Terrence Howard, Melissa Leo, and Paul Dano.[3] The plot focuses on the abduction of two young girls in Pennsylvania and the subsequent search. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Prisoners received positive reviews from critics.
Filming locations: Conyers, Georgia, USA (Conyers, Milstead, Rockdale County); Porterdale, Georgia, USA (The Old Mill on the Yellow River); Monroe, Georgia, USA (Gas Station in the rain Hwy 78 @ Troy Smith Rd); Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Early in the film Anna and Joy are seen in the Birch household watching a white rat. Later in the film, when Keller decides to take matters into his own hands and leaves to find Alex, the scene cuts again to the rat at Birch household, but now it is black, foreshadowing Keller Dover's transition from holy man to sinner.

The first time it was submitted to the MPAA, it received an NC-17 rating due to its tone and subject matter. The film's torture scenes were later cut by a couple of frames along with scenes suggesting pedophilia and it then received the R rating.
Detective Loki (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) is clearly visible in many scenes wearing a Freemasons ring on his left hand
The name of Alex Jones' aunt is Holly Jones. Holly Jones is also the name of a ten-year old girl who was kidnapped and murdered in Toronto in 2003.
For the hammer scene, Hugh Jackman was asked by director Denis Villeneuve to be completely ferocious for the next take. That take was used in the final film.
In this film a detective named Loki obsessively tries to find to kidnapped children. In Norse Mythology there is a tale (Loka Táttur) where the god Loki persistently tries to protect a child from a giant named Skrymir after Odin and Hönir tried and given up on the task.
Hugh Jackman portrays a father whose daughter is kidnapped and missing in this film. He was originally attached to play a similar role in The Lovely Bones (2009), but dropped out. That role was filled by Mark Wahlberg, who at one point was attached to play the lead role in this film.
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were set to star with Bryan Singer directing, but the two actors opted to make The Fighter (2010) instead.
Leonardo DiCaprio was attached for a long time to the project but he dropped out eventually.
There are no opening credits just the Title of the movie.
Hugh Jackman was attached to the project with Antoine Fuqua directing. Both dropped out. After several years in development, Jackman returned in the lead role.
Early in the Movie in the Neighborhood you can hear Steller's Jays calling. These birds are not found in Pennsylvania their range only extends from the Pacific Coast to the Rockies.
The movie is set in Pennsylvania there is billboard advertising Atlanta law firm Morgan and Morgan above the liquor store (which, in PA, would be State-run, not privately owned).
The area code on Dover's truck is 570, which is the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area of Pennsylvania, but the license plate on Loki's car indicate Montgomery County, which is a couple of hours south and does not use the 570 area code.
Detective Loki works for a municipal police department in Pennsylvania yet all of the police cars with lights activated have only blue lights. Blue lights in Pennsylvania are "courtesy lights" for volunteer firefighters/EMS personnel private vehicles. They are not emergency lights with any traffic control powers. Police use either a combination of red and blue or, if using a single light, red only.
The byline of one of the newspaper articles shown in the film is "Aaron Guzikowski", the film's screenwriter.
Detective Loki's cards reveal his full name to be David Wayne Loki.
To play Holly Jones, Melissa Leo wore a grey wig and a foam rubber posterior prepared by costume designer Renée April in order to "ground" her character. Leo also requested the props assistants to avoid cleaning her glasses after each day's shooting.
Jessica Chastain was rumored for a role.
Quotes: 1. Keller Dover: "Where's my daughter?" 2. Detective Loki: "I'm gonna find your daughters."

Trivia: It is an American comedy film starring Kevin Bacon and directed by Christopher Guest. In a fictionalized version of Tinseltown itself, Nick Chapman (Bacon) is an up-and-coming film director hot off the winning of a student award for his short film. Release: Greenlit by David Puttnam of Columbia Pictures, the president was ousted two weeks after production began, and the subsequent regime at the studio, according to Guest, were unable to figure out what could be done with the film. Columbia quietly gave The Big Picture a limited theatrical release (where it opened to mixed reviews) before sending it to video. Filming locations:
Ballroom, Park Plaza Hotel - 607 S. Park View Street, Los Angeles, California, USA

During filming they rented a luxury house for three days to shoot in, not knowing that actor Charles Bronson had just purchased a home across the street. Before the three days were up the crew had managed to kill Bronson's cat by accident. The story is related in the book "I Killed Charles Bronson's Cat", written by the movies location manager Barry Gremillion.

During the student awards dinner, after the Crossed Sabres of Truth is shown, Dan Schneider's line "...regrettably killed while filming" could be a reference to Vic Morrow, who was Jennifer Jason Leigh's father. She plays Lydia in the film. Even if not intended to be about him, it was how she lost her father.
Quotes: 1. "Nick Chapman: What is it?" Emmet Sumner: "It's this stupid movie. It's called 'Coffins from Hell.'" Nick Chapman: "What is it about?" Emmet Sumner: "Coffins from hell." 2. Nick Chapman: "I want you to be my friend again." Emmet Sumner: "Nick, I was always your friend." Nick Chapman: "No, I know. I, I mean, I wanna be your friend again."

The interior motel scenes were filmed at the Dutch Connection Inn in Steinbach, Manitoba. According to Production Designer Deanne Rohde, the motel was "way too nice", so they had to make significant renovations to make it look run down, as well as build extra rooms. The real motel has since closed and the building converted to a strip mall.

At various stops, Michael phones his girlfriend, leaving messages professing his love and a desire to spend his birthday together. Tobey eventually informs Michael that his own ex-girlfriend called recently, and the two plan to get married as soon as possible.

Trivia: It is a sports comedy film starring Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone as aging boxers stepping into the ring for one last bout, 30 years after their last match. Stallone and De Niro have both previously been in successful boxing films (Rocky and Raging Bull, respectively) and worked together in Cop Land. The film is directed by Peter Segal. It was previously scheduled for a January 10, 2014 release, but was moved up to December 25, 2013.[2] The movie was released on January 24, 2014 in the United Kingdom. Production: Filming commenced in New Orleans, Louisiana, in late 2012 and wrapped in March 2013[4][5] while several different establishing shots of Downtown Pittsburgh and the Edgar Thomson Steel Works were shot in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area.[6] A trailer was released on September 12, 2013.[7] The climatic fight scene was filmed on location at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
Critical reception: Grudge Match has received generally negative reviews. Box office: Grudge Match grossed only $7 million in its opening weekend, finishing in 11th place at the box office. Made on a $40 million budget, the film made only $45 million worldwide, making it a box office disappointment.

Razor Sharp's training regime references Rocky Balboa's in a number of ways. The character (also played by Sylvester Stallone) takes long jogs, drinks raw eggs and almost punches meat in an abattoir in a nod to the iconic movie boxer.

Lightning complains that his hearing aid makes him beep like R2-D2.

Showing one item
There are two scenes in the closing credits: Razor, Lightning and Slate watch Kid perform on Dancing with the Stars (2005), and later Slate arranges a rematch between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
In a post-credits scene, Razor has a new TV, on which he and Lightning view a performance by Kid on the TV show Dancing with the Stars and quickly deduce that he's having sex with his partner. In another, Slate tries to set up another Grudge Match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Holyfield refuses several increasingly higher offers to fight Tyson before showing interest when Slate offers Holyfield a role in a fourth Hangover film. Tyson, frustrated by this, approaches Slate angrily before the scene ends.
Alternate endings were filmed to avoid any spoilers or leaks.

Most people think this film was a Sylvester Stallone project, but according to Robert De Niro he got the script first and quickly came to the conclusion that Stallone would be the best choice to play his opponent. Stallone himself was actually quite reluctant to do the film at first, as he did not want to parody Rocky (1976) and De Niro had to talk him into it. Stallone himself claimed that he had a harder than usual time training for the role since he was taking a break from action roles and had stopped working out.

In the mid-credits scene, on the wall of Dante's office is a fight poster written "Segal Vs Ewing". This is a reference to the film producers Peter Segal and Michael Ewing. The same poster reads "Osbrink vs King" in a reference to the talent scouts/promoters Cindy Osbrink (Hollywood) and Don King (boxing), as well as "Gerber vs Mehta" referring to the film's producers Bill Gerber and Ravi D. Mehta .

In-between takes Sadarias Harrell could be seen writing possible songs for his debut LP. When he ran out of paper, he wrote on the money in his pocket.
When Razor and The Kid are singing the National Anthem at the monster truck rally, there is a Winn Dixie sign seen in the stadium. Winn Dixie is only in the southeast, not Pittsburgh.
During the final fight, there are signs at the Consol Energy Center for Pepsi Max. However, Pepsi is not sold at the Consol. Neither is Coca-Cola. RC Cola is the soft drink sold at the Consol.
Billy mentioned his dealership is open on Sundays, but it is illegal to open a car dealership on Sunday in Pennsylvania.
Sylvester Stallone was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor for his performance in this film (along with Bullet to the Head and Escape Plan), but he lost to Jaden Smith for After Earth. (It was Stallone's 14th bid for the "prize", a record, which he has "won" four times, also a record.)

Distributors: Hallmark Channel, The (2014) (USA) (TV). Budget: $CAD10,000,000 (estimated). Review: "This movie is so bad. Literally nothing happens, wow she has an awful lot of luck and barely anything bad happens. Of course we have the cliche guy in the "friendzone" who's in love with her but for some reason she doesn't know it. The guy who romances her only to be seen as not as perfect as she thought. It could've been a good movie and I love Jessica Szohr but it's so boring. What happened at the end? I turned it off with about 30 mins to go because I couldn't bare it." Filmed in British Columbia.

"99 Buckets of Chum" (uncredited) - Traditional.
Trivia: It is an American computer-animated comic science fiction comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures. The film is the sequel to the 2009 film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which was loosely based on Judi and Ron Barrett's book of the same name. It was directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, produced by Kirk Bodyfelt, and executive produced by the directors of the first film, Phil Lord and Chris Miller.[2] The film was released on September 27, 2013.[7] The film grossed over $274 million worldwide. The screenplay was written by John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein, and Erica Rivinoja,[2] and it is based on an original story idea, not on that of Pickles to Pittsburgh, the Barretts' follow-up book.[8] It continues right after the first film, in which Flint's food-making machine gets out of control, but Flint manages to stop it with the help of his friends. In the sequel, Flint and his friends are forced to leave their home town, but when the food machine reawakens—this time producing sentient food beasts—they must return to save the world. Most of the main cast reprised their roles: Bill Hader as Flint Lockwood, Anna Faris as Sam Sparks, James Caan as Tim Lockwood, Andy Samberg as Brent McHale, Neil Patrick Harris as Steve, and Benjamin Bratt as Manny. Will Forte, who voiced Joseph Towne in the first film, voices Chester V in this one. New cast includes Kristen Schaal as orangutan Barb and Terry Crews as Officer Earl, replacing Mr. T in the role. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 grossed $119,793,567 in North America, and $154,532,382 in other countries, for a worldwide total of $274,325,949 on a budget of $78 million.

Trivia: It is a British drama film directed by Richard Attenborough, set in the late 1970s, during the apartheid era of South Africa. The screenplay was written by John Briley based on a pair of books by journalist Donald Woods. The film centres on the real-life events involving black activist Steve Biko and his friend Donald Woods, who initially finds him destructive, and attempts to understand his way of life. Denzel Washington stars as Biko, while actor Kevin Kline portrays Woods. Cry Freedom delves into the ideas of discrimination, political corruption, and the repercussions of violence.
The film was primarily shot on location in Zimbabwe due to political turmoil in South Africa at the time of production. As a film showing mostly in limited cinematic release, it was nominated for multiple awards, including Academy Award nominations for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song. It also won a number of awards including those from the Berlin International Film Festival and the British Academy Film Awards.
A joint collective effort to commit to the film's production was made by Universal Pictures and Marble Arch Productions. It was commercially distributed by Universal Pictures theatrically, and by MCA Home Video for home media. Cry Freedom premiered in theaters nationwide in the United States on 6 November 1987 grossing $5,899,797 in domestic ticket receipts. The film was at its widest release showing in 479 theaters nationwide. It was generally met with positive critical reviews before its initial screening in cinemas. rincipal filming took place primarily in the country of Zimbabwe due to the tense political situation in South Africa at the time of shooting. Other filming locations included Kenya, as well as film studios in Shepperton and Middlesex, England.[5] The film includes a dramatized depiction of the Soweto uprising which occurred on 16 June 1976. Indiscriminate firing by police, killed and injured hundreds of African school children during a protest march.

The filmmakers intended to shoot in South Africa as early as October 1986 with permission from select prominent figures including Oliver Tambo and Winnie Mandela. After interviewing Mandela, the chief production crew was tailed around by the S.A gestapo all the time and was forced to leave South Africa. Also, the SABC at that time deliberately misinterpreted Richard Attenborough's decision of shooting the film in October and instead broadcast the news of him starting a revolution sponsored by Russia.
Although the film is set in South Africa, circa 1977, one of the buses arriving at Steve Biko's funeral plainly bears advertising for Charon's - a Zimbabwean brand of sweets not known in South Africa.
This film was part of a cycle of pictures made during the 1980s that featured journalists covering war. The movies include Salvador (1986), Under Fire (1983), Circle of Deceit [Circle of Deceit (1981)], Witness in the War Zone (1987), Cry Freedom (1987), The Killing Fields (1984) and The Year of Living Dangerously (1982).

Preceding the final credits is a list of other detainees who died in the custody of the South African police. Steven Biko's name appears on the list.
Quote: State Prosecutor: "But your own words demand for DIRECT CONFRONTATION!" Steve Biko: "That's right, we demand confrontation." State Prosecutor: "Isn't that a demand for violence?" Steve Biko: "Well, you and I are now in confrontation, but I see no violence."

Trivia: It is a romantic comedy-drama film about a young man with the special ability to time travel who tries to change his past in order to improve his future.[5] The film was written and directed by Richard Curtis,[6][7] and stars Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy. It was released in the United Kingdom on 4 September 2013 and in the United States on 1 November 2013.
Plot holes: Critic Mark Kermode observes that writer Curtis "sets up his rules of temporal engagement, only to break them willy-nilly whenever the prospect of an extra hug rears its head".[22]
The rules[23] as explained to Tim by his father are:
Only male members of the family can travel in time.
Only travel to the past is possible.
It is impossible to travel back to before you were born.
Traveling back to a time before your child is born will cause a different child to be born and the original child will be lost.
The film's internal logic about time travel was also criticised in other reviews:
The Independent says the explanation of time travel is "shockingly inadequate" and that "Curtis keeps leaving questions unanswered – time and time again".[24]
MaryAnn Johanson remarks that there are "arbitrary and inconsistent rules of time travel in aid of creepy romantic manipulation and temporal stalking".[25]
Steve Cummins of The Irish Post refers to Tim travelling backwards and forwards in time when he says the film is "riddled with plot holes".[26]
Megan Gibson writing in Time says: "...sci-fi fans out there likely won’t be able to see [the film's] charms through the gaping time-travel plot-holes".[23]
Critic Matthew Turner points out the "big problem is the unsightly pile-up of plot holes and logic problems".[27]
Kate Erbland of Film School Rejects states "the rules and limitations of Tim's gift aren't exactly hard and fast, and the final third of the film is rife with complications that never get quite explained. Rules that previously applied suddenly don't apply... the time travel rules aren't exactly tight and are occasionally confusing".

Tim describes his mother more like a 'Bernard' than a 'Mary'. Richard Curtis always tries to include a Bernard character in his movies. The inspiration comes from Bernard Jenkin, the Tory MP for North Essex and former shadow defense secretary. Mr Jenkin's wife, is a former girlfriend of the Richard Curtis.

Quotes: 1. Tim: "So what do you do?" Mary: "I'm a reader at a publisher." Tim: "No! Do you read for a living?" Mary: "Yes, that it. I read." Tim: "Oh that's so great! If that someone else asking: "What do you do for a living ?" Oh, well, I breathe. I'm a breather. I get pay for breathing. How did you get that job?" 2. Tim: "We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride."

The official soundtrack for the film features all original songs performed by the fictional bands A.D.D. and Vesuvius. A.D.D. also performed two covers in the film: "Nothin' But a Good Time", originally by Americаn glam metal band Poison, and "In Your Eyes", originally by British musician Peter Gabriel. However, only the first was included in the soundtrack. The songs attributed to the band A.D.D. were mostly written and produced by musician/producer Chad Fischer, of the band Lazlo Bane. Fischer also performed most of the music, with Teddy Geiger singing the lead vocals. The songs attributed to the band Vesuvius were written and performed by all the members of Lazlo Bane, with lead vocals sung by Keith England. To promote the movie, the song "Promised Land", as performed by the fictional band Vesuvius, was released as free downloadable content for the video game Rock Band, which is shown being played in the movie. A viral marketing effort for the film was begun on August 11, 2008, when Rainn Wilson posted a message to the MySpace blog of Jenna Fischer, his co-star from The Office. According to his message,[5] he had "kidnapped the lovely Jenna, put her, bound, in the trunk of my Firebird and logged onto her MySpace to send out this bulletin....To free America's sweetheart...you must attend my new movie, 'The Rocker', which opens August 20th....As soon as the film grosses 18.7 Mil, she will be released and given a peach smoothie." Ironically, the film was not even close to grossing that much money. A subsequent blog entry pointed readers to freejennanow.com, where videos were posted and features such as a "Free Jenna Game" and countdown tickers could be found. The film has received mixed reviews from critics.

Spoofs:
Halloween (1978)
Robert Fishman sits up and turns his head just like Michael Myers after being down and seemingly finished.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Fish chases down van much like the T-1000 Terminator,
Almost Famous (2000).
Fish gets on a roof above a swimming pool and says the line, "I'm a golden Fish".
Loosely based on Pete Best who was the original drummer for the Beatles and can be seen at the beginning of the movie reading the Rolling Stone magazine with Vesuvius on the cover.
Christina Applegate mentions to Fish during the music video shoot that she was in an all girl punk band. When in fact, in real life, Applegate was a founding member of the all girl group The Pussycat Dolls.
Jason Sudeikis says to Jeff Garlin's character, "hey, it's Norm from Cheers!" Sudeikis is the nephew of George Wendt, who played Norm in Cheers (1982).
Some of the scenes were filmed in Toronto, Canada (not actually Ohio). The Chinatown scene was filmed on Spadina street in Toronto's Asian district. One of the earliest club scenes when they exit the gig and into a back alley to a limo, was filmed in and outside an all ages club downtown called the Reverb.
When Vesuvius' manager is informing Fish that he is fired from the band, The song "Nobody's Fool" by _Cinderella (IV)_ is playing in the background, specifically the lyric can be heard over the scene: "seems like a thousand years since we broke the ties."
Rainn Wilson's characters name is Robert Fishman, aka Fish. Jon Fishman, aka Fish plays drums in the rock band Phish.
During Vesuvius' lip syncing at their concert, Jason Sudeikis' character says "We have an Ashley Simpson situation." This is referring to Ashley Simpson's lip syncing mishap, which happened while she was performing on Saturday Night Live, of which Sudeikis is a cast member.
When A.D.D. first gets on the bus, Gator makes a reference to "heading north on the 5." They were in Cleveland, but the 5 is on the west coast. Also, north from Cleveland gets you very wet.
When Fish is kissing the mom on the roof on the Midwest Tour, the Toronto skyline (Bank of Montreal Tower, Scotiabank Plaza, and TD Tower) is in the background.
When Fish is on the porch he looks at the Rock Hall. There is no such view from any house in Cleveland. The Rock Hall is downtown, surrounded by large buildings with no residential neighborhoods.
When Fish is dumped by his girlfriend at the beginning, he walks to his sister's house to crash, and he is shown walking North past the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to get there. Not only is there no residential area in that direction, but if he walked just a little bit further, he would walk right into Lake Erie, as the Rock Hall is on the Erie shore.
The skyline shown right before A.D.D. views their music video is of Minneapolis (Wells Fargo building, US Bank building, etc.) not Cleveland.
YouTube does not allow you to upload videos with nudity in them (the video of Robert naked).
Vesuvius is slated to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after 20 years together. However, artists aren't eligible for induction (barring an extenuating circumstance) until 25 years have passed since the artist released his/her/their debut.
Quotes: 1. Robert 'Fish' Fishman: "Loads of elevators play Celine Dion - that don't make it right." 2. Robert 'Fish' Fishman: "1991 called, they want their teenage angst back." Amelia: "Omigod, they just called again they want that joke back."

Trivia: It is a science fiction thriller film. It was directed, co-written, co-produced and co-edited by Alfonso Cuarón, and stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts. The film depicts the mid-orbit destruction of their space shuttle and their subsequent attempt to return to Earth. Cuarón wrote the screenplay with his son Jonás and attempted to develop the film at Universal Pictures. The rights were sold to Warner Bros. Pictures, where the project eventually found traction. David Heyman, who previously worked with Cuarón on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, produced the film with him. They filmed Gravity in the UK, where the British company Framestore spent more than three years creating most of the film's visual effects, which comprise over 80 of its 91 minutes. Gravity opened the 70th Venice International Film Festival in August 2013 and had its North American premiere three days later at the Telluride Film Festival.[5] It was released to cinemas in the United States and Canada on October 4, 2013. The film was met with universal acclaim from critics and audiences; both groups praised Emmanuel Lubezki's cinematography, Steven Price's musical score, Cuarón's direction, Bullock's performance and Framestore's visual effects. It has grossed more than US$716 million worldwide, making it the eighth highest-grossing film of 2013.
At the 86th Academy Awards, Gravity received a leading ten nominations (tying American Hustle), and won seven, the most for the ceremony, including: Best Director for Cuarón, Best Cinematography for Lubezki, Best Visual Effects, and Best Original Score for Price.[6] The film was also awarded six BAFTA Awards, including Outstanding British Film and Best Director, the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and seven Critics Choice Awards. Gravity had a production budget of $100 million and was filmed digitally on multiple Arri Alexa cameras. Gravity grossed $274,092,705 in North America and $442,300,000 in other countries, making a worldwide gross of $716,392,705—making it the eighth-highest grossing film of 2013. Principal photography began in late May 2011.[37] Live elements were shot at Pinewood and Shepperton Studios in the United Kingdom. The landing scene was filmed at Lake Powell, Arizona—where the astronauts' landing scene in Planet of the Apes (1968) was also filmed. Gravity was met with universal acclaim from critics who praised the acting (especially Sandra Bullock's performance), direction, screenplay, cinematography, visual effects, production design, the use of 3D, and Steven Price's musical score.

The film's cascade of debris is a very real possibility. This scenario is known as the Kessler syndrome, named after N.A.S.A. scientist Donald J. Kessler who first proposed the theory in 1978. A cascading Kessler syndrome involving an object the size of the International Space Station would trigger a catastrophic chain-reaction of debris. The orbiting debris field would make it impossible to launch space exploration missions or satellites for many decades.

Various mechanical sounds made by the spacecraft are heard on the sound-track as a result of conduction through the astronauts' bodies while they are in contact with the station. For example, when Ryan Stone is frantically trying to grab the handles as she flies by the station, the sounds of the station are heard while she is holding a handle, and they cease when she lets go. On the actual Lunar missions, the sounds of astronauts hitting their hammers on core sample tubes were conducted through their bodies and transmitted through their microphones.

Because of Alfonso Cuarón's lengthy takes, Sandra Bullock had to memorize long combinations of precise movements to hit her marks at different points in the shot. She often had to coordinate her own moves with those of the wire rig attached to her and the camera.

Alfonso Cuarón, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and visual effects supervisor Tim Webber decided they couldn't make the film they wanted using traditional methods. For the space-walk scenes, says Webber, "We decided to shoot (the actors') faces and create everything else digitally." To do that, Lubezki decided he needed to light the actors' faces to match the all-digital environment. Whether the characters were floating gently, changing direction or tumbling in vacuum, the facial light would need to perfectly match Earth, Sol and the other stars in the background. "That can break easily," explains Lubezki, "if the light is not moving at the speed that it has to move, if the position of the light is not right, if the contrast or density on the faces is wrong." Lubezki suggested folding an L.E.D. screen into a box, putting the actor inside, and using the light from the screen to light the actor. That way, rather than moving either Sandra Bullock or George Clooney in the middle of static lights, the projected image could move while they stayed still. The "light box", key to the space-walk scenes was a nine-foot cube just big enough for one actor.

To prepare for shooting, Sandra Bullock spent six months in physical training while reviewing the script with Alfonso Cuarón. Cuarón said, "More than anything else, we were just talking about the thematic element of the film, the possibility of rebirth after adversity." They worked out how she would perform each scene, and her notes were included the previsual animation and programming for the robots. Cuarón and Bullock zeroed in on Stone's breath, "and how that breath was going to dictate her emotions," he said. "That breath that is connected with stress in some instances, but also the breath that is dictated by lack of oxygen." Their conversations covered every detail of the script and Bullock's character. "She was involved so closely in every single decision throughout the whole thing," Cuarón said. "And it was a good thing, because once we started prepping for the shoot, it was almost more like a dance routine, where it was one-two-three left, left, four-five-six then on the right. She was amazing about the blocking and the rehearsal of that. So when we were shooting, everything was just about truthfulness and emotion." James Cameron, best friend of Cuarón and a huge fan of the film, said "She's the one that had to take on this unbelievable challenge to perform it. (It was) probably no less demanding than a Cirque du Soleil performer, from what I can see. There's an art to that, to creating moments that seem spontaneous but are very highly rehearsed and choreographed. Not too many people can do it. ... I think it's really important for people in Hollywood to understand what was accomplished here."

When the sequence of Stone entering the I.S.S. (International Space Station) airlock and shedding her spacesuit was filmed, actress Sandra Bullock sat on a rig with a bicycle seat and had her right leg strapped into a two-part brace inside a specially made chamber. She then mimed movements that were carefully choreographed and a camera rig was rotated slowly to create the illusion of her's and the I.S.S.'s rotation. Lights were also placed in strategic spots to capture the shining of Sol in the window. In postproduction, Bullock's right leg and the braces were erased completely and recreated with C.G.I.

Alfonso Cuarón and Jonás Cuarón developed the script at Universal Pictures. Universal hoped to attach Angelina Jolie to the project, but decided the film was too expensive, and put the film into turn-around. The film spent four years in development hell because the cinematography, visual effects, and realistic "story atmosphere" of vacuum were too challenging. Alfonso Cuarón had to wait for technology to catch up to his vision. That finally happened in 2009, with James Cameron's Avatar (2009).

Actor Phaldut Sharma, who voiced as an goofy Indian astronaut, 'Shariff', chose the song "Mera Joota Hai Japani" for humming himself when the director asked him to play something light. The director thought the character would put the audience at ease and get a few laughs before the actual story kicked off. The lyrics of the song literally mean, "My shoes are Japanese, my pants are English, the red hat on my head is Russian, and yet my heart is Indian" - figuratively saying that an Indian, wherever he goes, whatever he eats or wears, at the very heart he'll always be an Indian. It is a classic Hindi song from Shree 420 (1955).

When Matt and Ryan are making their way to the International Space Station, he finds out Ryan is from Lake Zurich, Illinois, and states that it's 8:00 P.M. there. They are floating over Egypt where it is 3:00 A.M. locally.
In reality all the space stations are at different altitudes; but the film depicts them being at the same altitude.
During the re-entry sequence, Dr. Ryan (Bullock) is oriented in the wrong screen direction (facing forward, right to left) relative to the position of the Shenzhou's heatshield facing backward, left to right).
Aningaaq, the name of the Inuit hunter Ryan contacts near the end of the film, is the Greenlandic word for a full moon.
On learning many communications satellites have been destroyed, Kowalski remarks, "Half of North America just lost their Facebook." The Internet doesn't use satellites but instead high-speed landlines and microwave relay towers, so Kowalski was either misinformed or making a joke, but either way the Facebook statement is incorrect.
Because there is no up or down in space, the opening 12 minute scene was originally rotated 180 degrees but an off-the-cuff decision to play it back upside-down was made and Alfonso Cuarón liked it so much, he decided to keep it upside-down in the official cut.

The actors could not be filmed using conventional means as they could not spend long amounts of time upside-down, which was needed for the range of movements. Because of this, elaborate mechanisms were created to rotate the camera, whilst the actors moved, to replicate this effect.

Ryan's hallucination of seeing Kowalski again in the space pod was George Clooney's idea. According to Clooney, Alfonso Cuarón was unable to come up with a satisfactory resolution for the character despite many revisions of the scene, including removing the dialogue, until Clooney offered to take a shot at rewriting the scene himself.

When Henry Cavill turned up on set, he had just finished shooting Immortals (2011) and came sporting an extremely muscular and ultra-ripped physique. Director Mabrouk El Mechri told him that he had to play an ordinary man and that his current body would be completely wrong for the character. Henry Cavill had to lose all the muscle tone and mass that he gained over the previous six months to get his body to look like that of an average man. He did it by eating and drinking a lot and not working out.

Trivia: Production Company: Lighthouse Pictures; Distributors: Lifetime Television (2014)(USA)(TV). Directed by Terry Ingram. Writing Credits: Ron Oliver and James Shavick. Filming Locations: Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. Review: "This is strictly production-line TV movie story-telling, from director Terry Ingram and the crew. What's "Good" is that is concludes in under 85 minutes. Heise doesn't qualify as a "Mistress" and the fact that a character chooses to date her in the town's most public places, including the local coffee shop and bar, is ludicrous."

Trivia: It is a biographical sports drama film centered on the rivalry between race car drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 Formula One motor-racing season. It was written by Peter Morgan, directed by Ron Howard and stars Chris Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Lauda. The film premiered in London on September 2, 2013 and was shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival[9][10] before its United Kingdom release on September 13, 2013. Production: The film was shot on location in the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria.[13] Filming took place at the former World War II airfield of Blackbushe Airport in Hampshire, the Snetterton (Norfolk), Cadwell Park (Lincolnshire) and Brands Hatch (Kent)[14] motor racing circuits in England, and at the Nürburgring in Germany.[15] Both vintage race cars and replicas were used in the filming. The producers include Hürth-based action concept Film- und Stuntproduktion, Egoli Tossell Film, Revolution Films (GB) and Cross Creek Pictures (US). The Film- und Medienstiftung NRW funded the film with €1.35 million, additional funding was provided by MFG Filmförderung Baden-Württemberg and the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF). Director Ron Howard originally intended for Russell Crowe to make a cameo appearance as Richard Burton for a brief scene where he confronts James Hunt on his affair with Suzy.[17][18]
Historical accuracy: Some things in the film are exaggerated (like the Hunt-Lauda rivalry), others downplayed (like Lauda's wife's shock at his disfigurement), and others invented (like Hunt beating up a reporter or the Nürburgring nickname being "the graveyard". In fact Jackie Stewart had nicknamed it "The Green Hell").
The film's orchestral score was composed by Hans Zimmer.[22] The soundtrack includes 1970s rock music by Dave Edmunds, Steve Winwood, Mud, Thin Lizzy, and David Bowie.
Rush earned $26.9 million in North America, and $63.3 million internationally, for a worldwide gross of $90.2 million, on a budget of $38 million.

Lauda himself made a cameo appearance at the end of the film. At this point Lauda said of Hunt's death, "When I heard he'd died age 45 of a heart attack I wasn't surprised, I was just sad." He also said that Hunt was one of his small number of friends, a smaller number of people he respected and the only man he had ever envied.
Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth weren't allowed to drive a real Formula 1 car so they had to use Formula 3 vehicles with fake F1 bodywork instead.

Despite having to bend the truth in some areas, the film was warmly received by the most discerning critics, namely, the Formula One industry. When Rush was pre-release screened at the German Grand Prix in July (2013), the audience comprised a group of F1 drivers, team bosses, and British motor sports magnate Bernie Ecclestone. Director Ron Howard declared that the experience was his toughest 'reality' test since screening his Apollo 13 (1995) for NASA's astronauts and mission controllers in 1995. Nevertheless, Rush received a standing ovation.

Peter Morgan wrote the script of Rush (2013) 'on spec', or speculation, meaning there was no one waiting to buy it. So he wrote the first draft assuming there might not even be any racing sequences at all, because the prospective film would probably have a very low budget. 'If you grow up in England, that's how you think', he said. Instead, he structured the film as a race of sorts between the two main characters.

The blue six-wheeled Formula One car is a Tyrrell P34. Its design had several technical advantages, and Jody Scheckter did win one race in the car in 1976. But it eventually became uncompetitive due to the weight of its complex front suspension and Goodyear's inability to continue the development of its unique 10-inch tires. The Tyrrell team raced the P34 in 1976 and 1977.

The fatal accident depicted in the Watkins Glen scene was that of French driver 'François Cevert', who won the race the previous year. Cevert was killed during practice for the 1973 U.S. Grand Prix. Jackie Stewart, Cevert's team mate and mentor, withdrew and retired from racing after the crash. A similar accident occurred one year later, when Austrian rookie Helmuth Koinigg died during the 1974 Grand Prix.

Ron Howard, on the 11/24/2012 edition of Speed Channel's "Formula One Debrief" stated that he did not use the original footage of the Niki Lauda crash at the Nürburgring but did film at that corner of the old (pre-current F1 racing configuration) circuit.
Quotes: 1. Niki Lauda: "A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends." 2. James Hunt: "The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. It's a wonderful way to live. It's the only way to drive." Anachronisms: 1. After his accident Lauda is shown with the same Helmet he used in the Season so far which is not correct. Because his Helmet came off during the accident, Lauda decided to sue the manufacturer and switched to another manufacturer. The new Helmet was different shaped than his old one.

Storyline: Lisa Johnson, the ghost of a teenage girl who becomes aware that she is dead, haunts a house somewhere in northern Ontario. She, along with her parents and brother who are unaware that they are dead, are stuck on the same day they were murdered in 1985. Using personal items from other people killed in the house, Lisa makes a connection with Olivia, part of a family living in the house in the future who will become the next set of victims. With the help of Olivia and the spirits of other girls who were murder victims, Lisa is transported into the timelines of other victims and unravels the mystery of the house. She causes her family to come to terms with the knowledge that they are dead, and thus "awakened" they become able to assist her. After her family escapes to the afterlife, Lisa stays behind to stop the murderous evil spirit who haunts the house. With help from the evil spirit's family (the original victims of the house), Lisa overcomes him and rescues another family from suffering the same fate. Thus breaking the cycle of possessions and murder-suicides, Lisa awakes, no longer reliving the same day.

Trivia: It is an American 3D computer-animated comedy film and the sequel to the 2010 animated film Despicable Me.[7] Produced by Illumination Entertainment for Universal Pictures, and animated by Illumination Mac Guff,[8] the film is directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, and written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio. This marks the first time that Illumination Entertainment made a sequel film. Steve Carell, Russell Brand, and Miranda Cosgrove reprise their roles as Gru, Dr. Nefario and Margo, respectively. Kristen Wiig, who played Miss Hattie in the first film, voices agent Lucy Wilde, while Ken Jeong, who played the Talk Show Host, voices Floyd Eagle-san. New cast members include Benjamin Bratt as Eduardo (aka El Macho) and Steve Coogan as Silas Ramsbottom, head of the Anti-Villain League (AVL).
The film premiered on June 5, 2013 in Australia,[9] and was theatrically released in the United States on July 3, 2013.[2] The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, and was nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and for Academy Award for Best Original Song (for "Happy"), losing both to Disney's Frozen. Grossing over $970 million worldwide against its budget of $76 million,[5][6] the film became the second-highest-grossing animated film of 2013, the third-highest-grossing film of 2013, and broke a record as the most profitable film in the 100-year history of Universal Studios. Despicable Me 2 has received generally positive reviews from critics.
A prequel/spin-off film, Minions, focusing on the little yellow henchmen before they met Gru, is set to be released on July 10, 2015.[11] A third film, Despicable Me 3, is scheduled to be released on June 30, 2017.
Throughout the first half of the end-credits, three minions hold auditions for The Minions (2015).
When Lucy and Gru are reviewing Paradise Mall shop owners (suspects), the owner of Stuff-A-Bear (a satire of Build-A-Bear) overstuffs a bear and it explodes, making an expectant little boy cry. The boy is the same one that Gru made cry with a popping balloon in the beginning of the first Despicable Me (2010).

There's a brief shot in the film in which Edith is playing ping pong with a minion, but uses a pair of nunchaku as opposed to a ping pong paddle. This is a reference to a famous Chinese Nokia commercial in which a Bruce Lee impersonator in a mock "lost home video" also plays a game of ping pong using only a pair of nunchaku.

At the start of the film, when the secret lab is stolen from the Arctic, the footage is being viewed in AVL headquarters. The information on their screen includes latitude and longitude co-ordinates. These co-ordinates are actually in southern Sudan, rather than the Arctic circle.

Gru: "Oh, sorry, I..." [takes his freeze ray out of his polo and fires it] Gru: "Freeze Ray!"

Trivia: It is an American IMAX thriller concert film featuring the American heavy metal band Metallica. The film title is derived from the song "Through the Never" off the self-titled 1991 album; the feature follows young Trip's (Dane DeHaan) surreal misadventures on what is supposedly a routine task intercut with concert footage in Vancouver and Edmonton, August 2012. The feature was released by the revived Picturehouse marquee, ceased since 2008. Release: The band made a surprise appearance in Detroit at the Orion Music + More Festival under the name Dehaan, after lead actor Dane DeHaan, to promote the film by playing their debut album, Kill 'Em All, in its entirety. Through the Never made its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was released in IMAX theaters across the United States on September 27, 2013,[6] the 27th anniversary of former Metallica bassist Cliff Burton's death, before being rolled out to normal cinemas in 3D the week after (October 4).
Reception: Reviews of the film were positive. The film has a 78% "fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes; the consensus states: "Imaginatively shot and edited, Metallica Through the Never is an electrifying, immersive concert film, though its fictional sequences are slightly less assured." Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called the film "a full-throttle expression of rock & roll anarchy", and encouraged readers not to understand the plot, but to "live" it. Peter Rugg of The Village Voice writes that the film is "the most immersive concert film ever." Chris Tilly of IGN delivered a positive review as well, stating that it "features several truly incredible live performances that are worth the price of admission alone. Metallica fans will love the music, while everyone else can enjoy the amazing visuals in this unique concert movie." Budget - $18 million; Box office - $21,196,967.
Filming locations: Rexall Place- 7424 118 Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada (Live Concert Footage); Rogers Arena, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Live Concert Footage); New York City, New York, USA; Los Angeles, California, USA; Newark, New Jersey, USA.
There's one part in the song, "Master Of Puppets," When James Hetfield shouts, "Pancakes!" before Kirk Hammett comes in with his solo. The original lyric is supposedly be, "Fix me!" however, "Pancakes" was an inside joke that came from the former bassist, the late Cliff Burton. When Metallica was on tour with Anthrax in 1986, Cliff was asked by Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, what was James shouting. Cliff casually answered, "Pancakes."

A different ending was filmed which tested poorly with audiences who felt it was too grim. Despite being the original ending of the book, not to mention producer Michelle Pfeiffer's preferred ending, the studio opted for the more conventional happy ending.

Storyline: Colton Harris-Moore, best known as the Barefoot Bandit, was on the run for nearly three years after hot-wiring a Cessna, flying 400 miles before crashing in a field and vanishing into the wilderness. His crimes included a half dozen stolen boats, at least 10 cars and five stolen airplanes.
Trivia: A 2014 Canadian documentary about Colton Harris-Moore called Fly Colt Fly: Legend of the Barefoot Bandit was made by brothers Adam Gray and Andrew Gray,[48] showing how the mythic story evolved in the media and how Colt became a 21st-century outlaw folk hero. Directed and written by Adam Gray and Andrew Gray. Art Direction by Samuel Chou (Director of Animation). The Film Works (Producers). The Royal Bahamian Police force were able to capture Harris-Moore, something the American authorities were never able to do. After being apprehended in the Bahamas, Harris-Moore received a custodial sentence of 7 years. As part of an historic plea bargain, Harris-Moore agreed to a $1.4 Million offer from 20th Century Fox to the rights to his story, as restitution for the victims of his crimes.

When supposedly driving through the Twin Cities, Minnesota, the freeway signs clearly indicate Interstate 65, not Interstate 35. I-65 ends in Gary, Indiana, some 450 miles away.
There should be no leaves on the trees in Tennessee in February.
The film was written by Marc Sedaka, Steven Bloom. Kevin Smith worked on an early draft of the script, although he decided to have his name removed from the final product.
Joey Lauren Adams was originally going to skip out on her part in Chasing Amy to play Ivy in this movie, but she lost the part to Reese Witherspoon. Kevin Smith—Adams' boyfriend at the time—has a documented grudge against Witherspoon and cited a rumored incident during the movie shoot.
The role of Ivy Miller was written for Joey Lauren Adams, Kevin Smith's girlfriend at the time.
Quotes: 1. Ivy: "You know it's funny I thought you had a girlfriend." Wyatt: "Me? No... well yeah, but I was just killing time." Ivy: "Killing time?" Wyatt: "Yeah, killing time until I met you." Ivy: "Boy, never thought I'd fall for a line like that." 2. Police Sniper: "I have a bead on him, Sir." Police Chief: "Do not fire until the hostage is clear." Police Sniper: "It's only an undergrad, Sir." Police Chief: "Nevertheless." 3. Turran: "And furthermore, I charge Herman Melville with plagiarism, citing his quote unquote classic 'Moby Dick' as nothing more than a blatant ripoff of Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws'. The End."

Emmerich opened casting sessions in late October 2005.[5] In February 2006, Camilla Belle and Steven Strait were announced to star in the film, with Strait as the mammoth hunter and Belle as his love.[6] Emmerich felt that casting well known actors would distract from the realistic feel of the prehistoric setting. "If like, Jake Gyllenhaal turned up in a movie like this, everybody would be, 'What's that?' " he explained. The casting of unknown actors also helped keep the film's budget down.

Suri van Sornsen as Captured Mammoth Villager, Dayna Porter as stunt double: Camilla Belle and Jake Mervine as stunt double: Steven Straight. Encore Avenue, September 14, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Harald Kloser and Thomas Wanker (as Thomas Wander).
Trivia: It is an American epic fantasy adventure film from Warner Bros. Pictures set in the prehistoric era. It was directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Steven Strait and Camilla Belle. The world premiere was held on February 10, 2008 at Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.[2][3] General release was on March 7, 2008. Alternate ending: In an alternate ending, the scene shifts forward many years into the future, showing Baku's retelling of the story by the camp fire. It ends with a child asking what had happened to the "Mountains of the Gods", and Baku responds, "They were taken back by the sands. Lost to time, lost to man". Visual and sound effects: a. The mammoths in the movie were based on elephants and fossils of mammoths, while the sabertooth cat was based on tigers and ligers (a lion/tiger hybrid). b. The sounds made by the sabertooth cat in the movie are based on the vocalization of tigers and lions. Language: Dialect coach Brendan Gunn was hired by Emmerich and Kloser to create "a half dozen" languages for the film.[13] Gunn has stated that he collaborated informally with film lead Steven Strait to improvise what the languages would sound like.Emmerich rejected making the film in an ancient language (similar to The Passion of the Christ or Apocalypto), feeling it would not be as emotionally engaging. Production began in early 2006 in South Africa and Namibia.[6] Location filming also took place in southern New Zealand[12] and Thailand. Before shooting began, the production had spent eighteen months on research and development for the computer generated imagery. Two companies recreated prehistoric animals. To cut time (it was taking sixteen hours to render a single frame) 50% of the CGI models' fur was removed, as "it turned out half the fur looked the same" to the director. Critical reception: The film received largely negative reviews from critics, stating that the movie is mainly visual and lacks a firm screenplay. Critics noted that the film is archaeologically inaccurate and contains many factual errors and anachronisms. As of June 24, 2013, the review aggregator at Rotten Tomatoes has reported that 8% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 145 reviews with the consensus: "With attention strictly paid to style instead of substance, or historical accuracy, 10,000 BC is a visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic."[15] Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 34 out of 100, based on 29 reviews. Despite this, composer Thomas Wanker won a BMI Film Music Award for his work on the film.
Influences of other works: Glenn Whipp of the Los Angeles Daily News draws numerous comparisons between 10,000 BC and other films in the prehistoric and historic film genre, especially One Million Years B.C.[17] and Apocalypto.[18][19] A. O. Scott of The New York Times compared it to John Ford's film The Searchers and the animated film Ice Age. At the 2008 Wondercon, Emmerich mentioned the fiction of Robert E. Howard as a primary influence for the film's setting, as well as his love for Quest for Fire and the book Fingerprints of the Gods. The film was parodied in the opening scene of Disaster Movie.
Box office performance: In its opening weekend, the film grossed $35.8 million in 3,410 theaters in the United States and Canada, ranking No. 1 at the box office, and grossing over $22 million more than the film in second place, College Road Trip.[22][23] As of April 29, 2008, it has grossed approximately $268.6 million worldwide – $94.6 million in the United States and Canada and $174 million in other territories[24] – including $17.2 million in Mexico, $13.1 million in Spain, $11.3 million in the United Kingdom, and $10.8 million in China. This also makes it the first film of 2008 to surpass the $200 million mark.

This film features some alleged historical controversies, including construction of the great pyramids 12,000 years ago (almost 7,500 years earlier), the existence of the Ben-Ben stone (the pyramidion stone missing from the top of the Khafre pyramid), the correlation between the position of the pyramids and the stars from the Orion constellation (associated by the Egyptians with the god Osiris), the Sphinx with a head of a lion allegedly correlated with the Leo constellation rising to the east (at the same time that Orion is in conjunction with the Giza pyramid complex), and the possible nonhuman origins of the first kings of Egypt.

D'Leh refers to one star as "the one that never moves." That would be the North Star, which appears stationary in the northern night sky. In 10,000 BC the North Star was Vega, the fifth brightest star in the sky. It would've been very obvious in the dark sky.
A boat sails north on the Nile with its sails up. To truly go north, sails would have to be down to avoid the prevailing wind and to let the current move the boat northward.
The mammoth hunters appear to live in Northern Europe, yet they cross the Sahara to get to the Nile. Plus, there is no evidence of woolly mammoths in Africa.

Several scenes show mammoths galloping. Mammoths were closely related to modern elephants, and couldn't gallop because of their physiology. At best, they could move at a fast trot, like elephants do. They were also never domesticated as pack animals.

The earliest Egyptian pyramid was erected circa 2630 BC. The film doesn't show the Giza pyramids as completed, which may be an effort to satisfy both those who believe the Giza pyramids are relatively recent, and those who believe they are substantially older.

Trivia: It is an American supernatural horror film directed by James Wan. It is a sequel to 2010's Insidious. The film stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne reprising their roles as Josh and Renai Lambert, a husband and wife who seek to uncover the secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world. The film was released on September 13, 2013. It was a major box-office success, grossing over $161 million worldwide against a budget of $5 million, even though it received mixed reviews from critics. Filming: Principal photography for Insidious: Chapter 2 began on January 15, 2013 in Los Angeles.[10] Having a slightly higher production budget than its predecessor, the film was captured over the course of 25 shooting days.[15] A bulk of the film was shot at a house in Highland Park, Los Angeles,[8][16] which served as the location of Lorraine Lambert's house. Another location used for filming was the former Linda Vista Community Hospital, which was redressed as a hospital setting and used for the construction of interior sets (including recreations of sets from the first film).

"Hamlet" was published in quarto editions (half the size of folio) during Shakespeare's life. The only folio editions of Shakespeare's work were the posthumous collections of his complete plays.

Trivia: It is a thriller film directed by Bill Condon, about the news-leaking website WikiLeaks. The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as its editor-in-chief and founder Julian Assange, and Daniel Brühl as its former spokesperson Daniel Domscheit-Berg.[5] Anthony Mackie, David Thewlis, Alicia Vikander, Stanley Tucci, and Laura Linney are featured in supporting roles.[6] The film's screenplay was written by Josh Singer based in-part on Domscheit-Berg's book Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange and the World's Most Dangerous Website (2011), as well as WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy (2011) by British journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding. The film's name is a term used to describe the people who operate in the manner of journalists outside the normal constraints imposed on the mainstream media.
Co-produced by DreamWorks Pictures and Participant Media, The Fifth Estate premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival,[8][9] and was released in theaters by Touchstone Pictures in the United States on October 18, 2013,[10] with international distribution divided among Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, Reliance Entertainment, and independent arrangements by Mister Smith Entertainment.[11][12] The film performed poorly at the box office[13] and garnered mixed critical reaction, receiving criticism for its screenplay and direction; however, praise was given on the acting, particularly Cumberbatch's performance. Budget - $26 million and Box office - $8,555,008.
During filming, Cumberbatch had to wear three different wigs, false teeth and blue contact lenses, in order to imbue Julian Assange's physical characteristics. The film's title sequence, which depicts the history of news communication, took over a year to create. The film was partially shot in Belgium. As can be seen at the movie poster which contains the Liège-Guillemins railway station.

On September 18 2013, Wikileaks released a mature version of the complete script to the public, because "the film is, from WikiLeaks' perspective, irresponsible, counterproductive and harmful." They also published a "Talking Points" memo "because it represents a frank internal appraisal of [the film] and what is wrong with it."

On July 2012 it was reported that Jeremy Renner was very keen on playing Julian Assange. However, it was announced on October the same year that Benedict Cumberbatch has landed the lead.
The film's title sequence, which depicts the history of news communication, took over a year to create.
In both Brussels airport and the Liège railway station, we hear a Dutch voice with a Hollandic accent (Dutch as spoken in The Netherlands) speaking through the PA. This doesn't make sense as in Liège the language would be French, and in the airport, Dutch announcements would be with a Belgian accent (Flemish).
The building Daniel is working in is supposed to be in Berlin. The building is in fact The Belgacom Tower in Brussels, you can even see the Belgian flag on top of the building.
The caption says that Assange is in Tonsberg, Norway. The video is showing Aalesund, which is in a whole other part of the country.
1The Julian Assange interview at the Ecuadorian embassy has the Colombian flag in the background. Quote: Julian Assange: "As Oscar Wilde said, 'Man is least himself when he talks with his own person. Give a man a mask, and he will tell you the truth.'"

Halfway through the end credits there is a scene with the Raccoon sitting on a buoy.
In Surly Squirrel (2005), the original short film about of the rivalry between Raccoon & his followers against Surly & Buddy, Raccoon's team are depicted as the "good" side. In this feature length remake, this is reversed.
The dog whistle is treated like it's painful for the dog to hear, but not any other of animals. Actually, a dog whistle would be just as painful for the squirrels to hear, because their hearing range is within the frequency of a dog whistle.
Quotes: 1. Grayson: "This squirrel is a hero!" 2. Surly: "It's not going to be easy but we're talkin' almonds, pistachios, walnuts and did I mention the peanut brittle?" Jimmy: "Whoa, is that a nut, or a candy?" Surly: [laughs] "Both." 3. Surly: "Buddy, we found it! The lost city of Nutlantis!"

Trivia: It is a teen comedy film directed by Boaz Yakin, who was working from a screenplay which Julia Dahl, Mo Ogrodnik and Lisa Davidowitz had adapted from the story by Allison Jacobs. It starred Brittany Murphy as a 22-year-old living a charmed life as the daughter of a famous rock and roll musician. Dakota Fanning, Heather Locklear, Marley Shelton, Donald Faison and Jesse Spencer also starred. The film opened at #5 at the U.S. box office raking in 11,277,367 USD in its opening weekend. Uptown Girls was panned by critics, with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 14% rating based on 111 reviews. Budget - $20 million; Box office - $44,617,342.
Following Brittany Murphy's death at the age of 32 on December 20, 2009, Dakota Fanning, at age 15, stated that she cherished the time they spent together while working on the film, and that she was "very grateful that [she] had the chance to work with [Murphy]."[2]
Jesse Spencer sings "Molly Smiles" in the movie as well as "Sheets of Egyptian Cotton", which had additional vocals by Chris Rodriguez. However, the song "Night Of Love" was completely sung by Rodriguez, but is implied in the film to be Spencer, and also sometimes credited (such as on iTunes).
The lampshade as a hair accessory was the production team's idea, but Brittany Murphy had the idea to scrunch it up and use it as a barrette.
The songs "Night of Love", "Molly Smiles", and "Sheets of Egyptian Cotton" are in the credits as "Written by Carlos Melendez", a member of the first lineup of Menudo.
Director Boaz Yakin later directed (and also wrote) Safe, a crime thriller with a similar plot elements.

The denim dress Molly wears when picking Ray up from school for the first time is a vintage dress from the seventies that belonged to the costumer designer's sister Kate when she was twelve that had been hand-customized by a babysitter. The name "Kate" was bedazzled on the back of the dress, but Brittany Murphy opted to wear a backpack to cover it up rather than ruin the history of the dress by removing the name. The name can still be seen briefly a few scenes later.

The character of Huey was originally written to be edgy, unlikeable and bossy; eventually his character was changed to be slightly lighter and more fun so that he seemed as if he would be someone Molly would be friends with.

Trivia: It is a movie directed by Robert Aldrich. The movie is a Western comedy featuring Gene Wilder as Avram Belinski, a Polish rabbi who is traveling to San Francisco, and Harrison Ford as a bank robber who befriends him.
According to Gene Wilder's autobiography, the Tommy role, played by Harrison Ford, was originally planned for John Wayne.
Aldrich replaced director Dick Richards during preproduction.
At one point, Wilder says to Ford that Poland is right next to Czechoslovakia, but the movie is set in 1850 and neither Poland nor Czechoslovakia existed as independent nations until 1918.
Critical reception: Vincent Canby of The New York Times described The Frisco Kid as "harmless chaos": "People keep coming and going and doing ferociously cute things, but never anything that could appeal to anyone except a close relative or someone with a built-in weakness for anything ethnic whatsoever." He criticized the lack of plot development, saying that, while based on a clever idea, The Frisco Kid ultimately fails to deliver on its promise.
Budget $9.2 million[1]
Box office $4.7 million.

"The Frisco Kid" wasn't the first time this title was used. There was another western made in 1935, Frisco Kid (1935), but this film was not a remake of that one.

The movie traded on Gene Wilder's western-comedy screen persona from the earlier spoof western hit movie Blazing Saddles (1974) which had been made and released about five years earlier. It also did this a year later in Stir Crazy (1980) by making Wilder a hero at riding a rodeo mechanical bull even labeling Wilder at one point an "Urban Cowboy".

In his autobiography, Gene Wilder says that John Wayne was offered the part that was eventually played by Harrison Ford. Wayne loved the role and was eager to work with Wilder. However, an agent tried to offer Wayne less than his usual fee and the legendary actor turned the film down. This may be true, but it is actually unlikely. By 1979 Wayne was too ill with stomach cancer to consider film work, and in fact he died later that year from the disease.

Not the first western for Harrison Ford. Ford appeared in westerns when he was unknown in television and in such films as Journey to Shiloh (1968) and A Time for Killing (1967). However, The Frisco Kid (1979) would be Ford's last western until Cowboys & Aliens (2011).

Noticeable in the trailer for this Warner Brothers movie was the use of footage of Gene Wilder from Wilder's earlier films such as Warner Bros' Blazing Saddles (1974) but also ones from Wilder's other studio pictures from 20th Century Fox, Silver Streak (1976) and Young Frankenstein (1974).

The film's opening title card reads "(Poland 1850)".
Quote: Tommy: "You sure talk funny. Where you born at?" Avram: "Poland." Tommy: "Oh. Is that near Pittsburgh?" Avram: "No, that's near Czechoslovakia." Anachronisms: 1. In a conversation between Avram and Tommy there is a reference to the country of Czechoslovakia. The film is set in 1850 but Czechoslovakia was established in 1918 as a result of WWI. The territory was then called Bohemia.

The movie is set in 1850, and in the early scenes (probably in Pennsylvania with the Amish community) there are barbed wire fences lining the roads. Barbed wire wasn't invented until 1873 (earlier versions might have been available but were not mass produced and certainly not for that long of a stretch) and was intended mainly for the western United States, not the eastern half.

Several characters use the Colt Army .44 cal pistol. This wasn't developed until 1860. Also, during the final gun fight, Matt Diggs gives the rabbi a Remington New Model Army .44 cal pistol. This didn't come out until 1858.

At the beginning of the movie, set in 1850, the Chief Rabbi refers to Avram as a "shmendrick." This term originates in the operetta "Shmendrik, oder Die komishe Chaseneh" (1877) by Abraham Goldfaden.

The movie is set in 1850. However, the steam locomotive used in the train scenes has a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement. These locomotives were used in the US starting in the 1860s.

Texas Ranger. Movie Central, September 19, 2014, with Dr. Connie Luther. Soundtrack: Music by James Newton Howard.
Storyline: Parkland weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas’s chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most famous home movie in history; the FBI agents who were visited by Lee Harvey Oswald before the shooting; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK’s security team, witnesses to both the president’s death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s rise to power.
Trivia: It is an American historical drama film that recounts the chaotic events that occurred following John F. Kennedy's assassination.[5] The film is written and directed by Peter Landesman, produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and Bill Paxton with Exclusive Media’s Nigel and Matt Sinclair.[6] The film is based on Vincent Bugliosi's 2008 book Four Days in November: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Production began in January 2013 in Austin, Texas. Writer/director Peter Landesman has stated that the film does not explore the various conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination.

Dallas, Texas, USA (Dealey Plaza).
Although based on a true story and depicting real-life people the end credits state: "All characters in this film are fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental."
The movie was based on Helter Skelter (1976) prosecutor/author Vincent Bugliosi's book "Four Days in November: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy". That book, as noted in the credits, was an excerpt from his book "Reclaiming History", in which he takes a prosecutorial approach to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald carried out the assassination alone, and systematically debunk conspiracy theories. He began the book after serving as the "prosecutor" in the British documentary On Trial: Lee Harvey Oswald (1986), which conducted a jury "trial" of Oswald.

The 1964 Cadillac hearse that transported John F. Kennedy from the hospital to Love Field is almost exactly the same as the original one, down to the license plates that it bore (WC609). The original sold at the Barrett-Jackson auction for $160,000.

First film directed by Peter Landesman.
At the end of the movie it says that Agent Forrest Sorrels died in 1993 at 82 years old. He was actually 92 years old. His age is confirmed during his Warren Commission testimony taken in 1964 where he says he is 63 years old, making his birth year 1901.

The Zapruder film is mentioned as being a 'new' format while the film is depicted as Kodak standard 8mm which was introduced in 1932. A new 'Super 8' format was not introduced until 1965. What may have been an issue was that Kodak Kodachrome film had the processing of the film included in the price so that the film would only be processed in a Kodak laboratory. Other film processing laboratories would not usually have kept the propriety chemicals to develop Kodachrome film as customers would not be expected to pay for processing twice.

About Last Night. 2014, Starring
Main cast
Kevin Hart as Bernie
Michael Ealy as Danny
Regina Hall as Joan
Joy Bryant as Debbie
Supporting cast
Christopher McDonald as Casey McNeil
Adam Rodríguez as Steven Thaler
Joe Lo Truglio as Ryan Keller
Paula Patton as Alison
Hart was cast in June 2012.[3] In the following July, Ealy and Hall joined the cast.[4] Hart, Hall, and Ealy had previously starred together in the romantic comedy Think Like a Man (2012), which About Last Night's producer Will Packer also produced.[5] Joy Bryant was cast in August to round out the four key roles.[6] In addition to McDonald, Rodríguez, Lo Truglio, and Patton making up the supporting cast, American football player Terrell Owens had a cameo appearance in the film.[7]
Hart's role of Bernie was played by James Belushi in the original film, while the role of Joan was played by Elizabeth Perkins.[5] While Joan was not very likable in the original film, Hall said the writers revised the character to be closer to the one depicted in the play. Hall said, "Instead of making her just snarky, there are a lot of levels that she goes to."[8]
Ealy's role of Danny was played by Rob Lowe in the original film, while Bryant's role of Debbie was played by Demi Moore.[9] Ealy said he chose not to see the play or the original film to avoid repeating any performances. He said of the roles of Danny and Debbie, "With Bernie and Joan, they are written funny, they act funny, they are funny pretty much non-stop. [Danny and Debbie] bring a bit more gravitas to the entire story, and reality."[5] Ealy, who was 40 years old at the time of release, played a 28-year-old character, so he lost 25 pounds to look more youthful.[10] He also compared About Last Night's depiction of "adult Black people in a sexy, romantic way" to the film Love Jones (1997).

All Is Lost. 2013, Starring Robert Redford as Our Man and Mark Norby as stunt coordinator/stunt double: Our Man. Movie Central, September 20, 2014. Music by Alex Ebert. Soundtrack: "Amen" - Performed by Alex Ebert, Produced by Alex Ebert, Engineered and mixed by Alex Ebert and Matt Linesch, Courtesy of Community Music & Caravan Touchdown (ASCAP), Administered by BMG Chrysalis. Storyline: Somewhere in the Indian Ocean ("1700 nautical miles from the Sumatra Straits"), a man (Robert Redford) says, "I'm sorry. I know that means little at this point, but I am. I tried. I think you would all agree that I tried. To be true, to be strong, to be kind, to love, to be right, but I wasn't." He declares, "All is lost." Eight days earlier, as he wakes up, he sees that water has started to flood his boat, the Virginia Jean.
Trivia: It is a survival film written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The film stars Robert Redford as a man lost at sea.[A] Redford is the only cast member, and the film has almost no dialogue. All Is Lost is Chandor's second feature film, following his 2011 debut Margin Call. It screened out of competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. Development: All Is Lost is written and directed by J. C. Chandor, following his 2011 feature film debut Margin Call. During his time commuting from Providence, Rhode Island to New York, Chandor developed the idea for All Is Lost.[7] After meeting Robert Redford at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival where Margin Call premiered, Chandor asked the veteran actor to be in the film. On February 9, 2012, Redford's casting was confirmed for All Is Lost as its only cast member.[8] In addition to there being only one actor in the film, Redford also stated that the film has no dialogue, however there are a few spoken lines.[9] Because of these aspects, the shooting script was only 31 pages long.[7]
Filming: Principal photography began in mid-2012 at Baja Studios in Rosarito Beach in Mexico. Baja Studios was originally built for the 1997 film Titanic.[8] Filming took place for two months in the location's water tank.[10] In addition the crew spent "two or three days" filming in the actual ocean.[11] Chandlor would later remark that completing the film was "essentially a jigsaw puzzle"[11] and that the crew spent less time on the actual ocean than the film would have viewers believe.[11] At a press conference after the film's screening at Cannes 2013, Redford revealed that his ear was damaged during the production. Budget - $8.5 million; Box office - $10,175,509. All Is Lost has received critical acclaim.

According to the credits "All is Lost was shot on three 1978 Cal 39 sailboats purchased from their owners in Southern California. These three boats generously gave themselves up for art: Tahoe, Tenacious, and Orion. They took their final sails in the Pacific Ocean and performed beautifully in the film as Our Mans's boat, the Virginia Jean. Rest in peace."

The director adhered to what he termed his "bungee cord rule". A general shooting principle whereby the camera could not be above, below or farther from Redford than a cord could be stretched. Furthermore, in an effort to create a claustrophobic 'first mate intimacy' between audience and subject, DP Frank G. DeMarco filmed extensively within arm's reach of Redford using a 32mm lens on his Alexa camera.

All is lost here, except for soul and body, that is, what's left of them, and a half day's ration. It's inexcusable really, I know that now. How it could have taken this long to admit that I'm not sure, but it did. I fought till the end. I'm not sure what that is worth, but know that I did. I have always hoped for more for you all. I will miss you. I'm sorry."

Ronin, Yusei as Ronin, Andy Lister and Morgan Benoit as stunt double: Keanu Reeves. Movie Central, September 21, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Ilan Eshkeri.
Trivia: It is a Japanese-American fantasy action film depicting a fictional account of the forty-seven Ronin, a real-life group of Ronin (masterless samurai) in 18th-century Japan who avenged the death of their lord (stories, plays and other dramatic performances of the 47 Ronin story are commonly referred to as Chūshingura in Japan). Produced by Universal Studios, the film was directed by Carl Rinsch and stars Keanu Reeves and Hiroyuki Sanada. Filming started in Budapest in Origo Studios in March 2011; it moved to Shepperton Studios in London and was concluded in Japan.
Although it grossed $150 million worldwide on the strength of overseas receipts, the movie failed to break even and Variety reported the film as a costly box office disaster which left Universal Studios deeply in the red for 2013.[3] Adjusted for inflation it lost an estimated $152 million, making it the second most expensive box office bomb ever behind The 13th Warrior.

Due to studio interference, the film saw several script changes during filming, and a radical re-edit during post-production. The part of Yorick van Wageningen, who originally had a significant supporting role as Kapitan, was cut back to a silent cameo due to these decisions.

Larry's (Joel Nathan Evans) life is full of too many parties, too much drinking, and not enough responsibility or independence.[4] The film explores several typical teen issues, such as alienation and the search for one's own identity, but in this case from the perspective of a Tlicho Indian who struggles between his Native ancestry and finding his place in to the modern world.

Filming locations: Buffalo, New York, USA (Buffalo Niagara Film Office); Ralph Wilson Stadium - 1 Bills Drive, Orchard Park, New York, USA (Football Game); Pinewood Toronto Studios, Port Lands, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
When the lead male characters sing Can You Stand The Rain to the female characters, their reactions are genuine as the director didn't tell the ladies which song would be sung to them.
In its first weekend of release in the United States it was able to gain back double its entire production budget.
Shipped to theaters under the code name "Roasting Chestnuts".
Canadian flags can be seen on a street, as Lance is driving an SUV prominently featuring a New Jersey license plate. Though the movie location was set in the United States, the Canada filming location was revealed by the flags.
When Lance is exiting the stadium, behind Harper, Quentin, and Julian the Buffalo Bills logo can be seen in the background. The football scenes were shot at Ralph Wilson Stadium, even though the story is about the New York Giants.

Movie Central, September 24, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Michael Berec - music supervisor. Trivia: It is a Canadian family film and Hallmark Channel original movie written by G. Ross Parker and directed by Craig Pryce, The film stars Catherine Bell, Chris Potter, Catherine Disher, Matthew Knight, and Paul Miller. Family is the fourth film in The Good Witch film series.[1] The film premiered on Hallmark Channel October 29, 2011. The first film premiered January 19, 2008. Reception: The Oklahoman remarked that in her recurring role of Casandra Nightingale in The Good Witch film series, it is "no stretch to say Catherine Bell has cast a spell over viewers." When Bell signed for the fifth in the series, the fourth was just entering production. Kevin McDonough, the reviewer at South Coast Today, admitted to being "vaguely fascinated by the Good Witch movies" and the lead character of Cassandra Nightingale, and being "bowled over by their banality." He made special note of the film series' plots being predictable and the dialogue having a "false soap-opera quality",[4] and being intrigued by Catherine Bell's approach to acting, writing, "If she were any more placid, she'd be in a coma." McDonough did grant that as the fourth in the series, the plot did include some complications, but complained in his review that "as always, the plots to these movies don't really matter as much as the exasperating unexcitability of Cassie." He concluded that the film seemed "adapted from some comic book called 'Sabrina, the Medicated Witch.'" Matthew Knight received a 2012 Young Artist Awards nomination for "Best Performance in a TV Movie, Miniseries or Special - Supporting Young Actor" for his role as Brandon Russell.

Trivia: It is an American comedy film written, directed and co-produced by Lake Bell. In a World... marked Lake Bell's feature film writing, directing and producing debut. The film stars Bell as Carol Solomon, a vocal coach intent on doing voice-over work for film trailers.[5] The film co-stars Demetri Martin, Fred Melamed, Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Ken Marino, Nick Offerman, and Tig Notaro. The film was a financial success, grossing nearly $3 million on a budget of less than $1 million, and received positive reviews from critics.
Production: Background: According to Bell, there are almost no notable film trailers that have employed female voice-over talent except for Gone in 60 Seconds, which used Melissa Disney.[8] Bell had been intrigued that the prototypical "omniscient" voice behind film trailers was male. This inspired her to write a story in which a female protagonist sought to overcome this prejudice,[9] resulting in her feature-length writing, directing, and producing debut. The title of the film was inspired by the phrase used by Don LaFontaine to start many film trailers.
Bell wrote the screenplay with particular people in mind, hoping they would be interested in the project, explaining, "I was inspired to cast not only people who are great comedians but [...] who have a complex life [...] I knew that there was a profundity there that I wanted to tap into."[12] Bell also recruited her then boyfriend Scott Cambell as an art assistant for the film.[13]
Filming: Filming took place over 20 days in Los Angeles.[2] The Scientology Celebrity Center was used as a location. Other locations include The California Club, the lobby at the Biltmore hotel, and the KCET Studios. The sound studio scenes were filmed at The Marc Graue Voice Over Studios, Burbank. Studio A, Studio 4, the hallways, reception area, kitchen and the upstairs entrance to Studio 3 are all shown. Bell did extensive preparation work before the film, bringing lengthy notes.[8] She deliberately filmed using shots in the style of a drama, although the film is a comedy. The "nose kiss" scene was suggested by Ken Marino, and it made Bell laugh so much she told him he would need to do it twice.
In a World... won Best Screenplay at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival,[27] where it debuted on January 20. Filming Locations: Los Angeles, California, USA.
References: a) Mary Poppins (1964) - While speaking to Pippa, Moe does an impression of Bert. b) Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) - Carol says, "These aren't the droids you're looking for" in a Russian accent. c) Ghost (1990) - Two girls in the laundry talk about the film.
During the opening credits, clips of TV commercials for the GEICO insurance company with Don Lafontaine on-camera are featured.
The voices of Sam and Gustav's agents heard over the phone throughout the film are that of Lake Bell.
The film was shot in 20 days.
Although uncredited in the actual film credits, Cameron Diaz is listed in the credits for the movie-within-the-movie "The Amazon Games", which can be seen during the final voice class at the end of the film.
The title is a reference to the frequent phrase uttered by the late Don LaFontaine in many film trailers.
Flirtatious Irishman Terry is revealed in the "Amazon Games" trailer voiceover to be the film's BAFTA Winning Director, Terrance Pouncer.
According to Lake Bell, there are few notable film trailers that have employed female voice-over talent.
All the studio scenes were filmed at The Legendary Marc Graue Voice Over Studios in Burbank. In the movie you'll recognize Studio A, Studio 4, the hallways, reception area, kitchen and the upstairs entrance to Studio 3.
Quotes: 1. Carol: "I just want to give you my card. I'm not a vocal coach anymore, but I would make an exception for you because you sound like a squeaky toy. And I don't mean that in a bad way." 2. Eva Longoria: "Is that what you think, you stupid slapper?" 3. Louis: "The studio heard the temp recording you did and they want your voice on the trailer, Carol." Carol: "But I'm a chick." Louis: "Yeah, I know. I'm acutely aware of that."

Trivia: It is an American thriller film directed by Joe Charbanic and starring James Spader, Marisa Tomei and Keanu Reeves. Set in Chicago, the film is about a retired FBI agent who is stalked and taunted by a serial killer. Reception: The film received extremely negative reviews from critics, with Rotten Tomatoes holding it with a 10% rating. Keanu Reeves earned a Razzie Award nomination as Worst Supporting Actor for his performance, where he lost the award to Barry Pepper for Battlefield Earth. Production: Reeves has stated that he was not interested in the script but was forced into doing the film when a friend forged his signature on a contract. He performed the role rather than get involved in a lengthy legal battle. He was contractually prevented from disclosing this until twelve months after the film's US release. The Watcher was filmed between October and December 1999 on location in Chicago, Illinois and Oak Park, Illinois. This movie featured the 1996 hit "6 Underground" performed by Sneaker Pimps.
Third-billed Keanu Reeves gave his verbal agreement to director Joe Charbanic several years before production started, after reading his original script. With his involvement, the filmakers were later able to attract a bigger cast and budget than originally envisioned, and Reeves' part (originally meant as little more than a cameo) was substantially rewritten to feature him more prominently. Reportedly Keanu Reeves, who would be paid scale while his costars James Spader and Marisa Tomei would get $1,000,000 paychecks tried to drop out of the film but eventually changed his mind (apparently influenced by the legal precedent of the Kim Basinger/Boxing Helena (1993) debacle). He eventually agreed to do the picture and abstain from bad mouthing it in interviews on the condition that his involvment in the film be downplayed in all promotional material for the film, including trailers.

The film caused a bidding war between Universal Pictures, the now defunct Destination Films and Warner Bros. when the distribution rights were up for grabs courtesy of the pic's independent financiers. Universal ended up winning the rights, but only just edged out Destination Films, who were eager to bag the film and have a potential hit, since all of their earlier films had been box-office misfires.

Universal reportedly paid $5 million to acquire the North American distribution rights of this movie.
An agent's computer identifies the address of the building "20 miles north of the city" where David Allen Griffin is keeping Dr. Polly Beilman as the 1100-north block of Dearborn in Evanston. Dearborn does not run into Evanston; the 1100 N. block of Dearborn is near downtown Chicago. And, an address clearly shown in the exterior shots of the building says "500 W. Cermak" which would be Chinatown on Chicago's near South side.

Storyline: Susanna is a pushy but seductive rock and roll icon who lives with Beale, a charming, distracted art dealer. Unnerved by the prospect of middle-aged stasis and each drawn to other lovers, they separate. Maisie, their only child, is caught in the middle, shuttled back and forth between her parents. They each attempt to start life afresh and use new partners, Lincoln and Margo, as a means of competing irresponsibly for custody of Maisie. Maisie, loving yet quietly precocious and observant, begins to understand how essentially selfish, irresponsible and damaged her parents are, as each of their new relationships quickly disintegrates, and Maisie plays a critical role in constructing a whole new family out of her two step-parents.
Trivia: It is an American drama film directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel. It stars Julianne Moore, Alexander Skarsgård, Onata Aprile, Joanna Vanderham and Steve Coogan, and is an adaptation of the Henry James novel What Maisie Knew (1897), about a sensitive daughter of a divorced couple, who are irresponsible parents. The story is updated to modern-day New York City. The film premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2012.
Reception: When it premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, the film received strong reviews. NPR wrote, "It is rare to see an excellent movie about a child made for adults. [...] I was as invested in Maisie as I've been in any character I've seen at this festival, not just as a cute kid, but as a fully formed person."
Filming locations: The High Line, Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA (Maisie and Lincoln play at the High Line); New York City, New York, USA.
Joanna Vanderham replaced Evan Rachel Wood.
In an interview on the NPR program "Fresh Air", Julianne Moore said that she drew on Courtney Love and Patti Smith for inspiration for her character in this movie, who is (like Love and Smith) a rock star who is also a mother. Quote: Lincoln: "I'm her... sorta... like... Maisie's stepfather."

Storyline: On the run from an abusive husband, a young mother begins to train herself to fight back.
Trivia: It is an American drama-thriller film directed by Michael Apted. The movie is based on the New York Times bestseller Anna Quindlen 1998 novel, Black and Blue. It stars Jennifer Lopez as Slim, an abused wife who learns to fight back. Enough garnered generally negative reviews from film critics, although several aspects of the film including the actors' performances were praised. Jennifer Lopez was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in the film (as well as for Maid in Manhattan) but lost in a tie to both Madonna for Swept Away and Britney Spears for Crossroads.

When Slim has a monologue in the car and Gracie is sleeping, actress Tessa Allen was actually asleep. The film makers tried while Tessa was awake but because they wanted to do long shots of Gracie sleeping it was hard for a young Tessa to keep her eyes completely still for the hour it took to film the scene. Instead, they waited until she had a nap and her mum picked her up and brought her into the car to film the scene.

When Gracie's basketball hits her foot and rolls away, actress Tessa Allen did that in one take. The sky and lighting were changing and they needed to get it in one shot otherwise production would have been delayed later on because the cast and crew were changing locations the next day.

Although this film was screened to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Gonzaga boys (Dublin, Ireland), the film itself had been out for eleven years.
The subtitle says that Slim is on a boat somewhere in Northern Michigan, but she is clearly in Puget Sound; Mount Rainer is visible in the background.
Quotes: 1. Slim: [Tearing up] "I'm not the kind of girl who's husband beats her up!" 2. Slim: [Slim has just finished explaining to Gracie why they need to run away and change their identity] "... but you cannot call me Slim." Gracie: "But I never call you Slim. I don't think you are that slim." Slim: "Oh, thanks a lot."

Trivia: It is a stoner comedy starring Method Man and Redman, written by Dustin Lee Abraham, and director Jesse Dylan's debut feature film. Entertainment Weekly rated it third in their "Best Stoner Movie" top ten list.[1] The movie also won the Stony Award of 2002 for the Best Stoner Movie, but received generally negative reviews from critics. Reception: The film garnered mostly negative reviews from critics, as it currently holds a 27% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 52 reviews with the consensus stating: "How High is a lazily constructed stoner movie filled with lame, vulgar jokes". Despite the negative reviews, critics praised the comedic performances of Method Man and Redman. The film has received a strong cult following in the years following its release, due to high DVD sales and repeated showings on cable. Budget - $20 million; Box office - $31,283,790. Filming locations: Ambassador Hotel - 3400 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles, California, USA; Royce Hall - 340 Royce Drive, UCLA, Westwood, Los Angeles, California, USA; Wilshire Ebell Theatre - 4401 W. 8th St., Los Angeles, California, USA.
The film's sequences at "Harvard" were actually shot at UCLA.
In creating the sound for the mystical pot plant (Ivory), sound designer Andrew Somers (uncredited) used a Theremin and a set of Obsidian Chimes. For the sound of the giant bong, (and the sound of Ivory appearing) they recorded inhaling through an actual bong.
Baby Powder's vanity plate, "BPOWDER" is 7 characters. Massachusetts license plates have a maximum of 6 characters.
Silas and Jamal dig up the grave of president John Quincy Adams in an unspecified cemetery, when in reality, the president is actually buried in a family crypt beneath the United First Parish Church.
Crazy Credits: - There were no plants harmed during the making of this film.
Various bloopers and outtakes run during the credits, ending with the cast shouting: "The movie is over! Go home!"
Field of Dreams (1989) - It is referenced early in the movie during Silas' and Ivory's chat about Ivory's date with a woman over the internet who loves Kevin Costner movies. Quotes: 1. Jamal: "How did I fail women's studies? I love bitches!" 2. Silas: "So, you trying to get something to bring your nerves down too, huh?" Jamal: "Yeah. I figure if I study high, take the test high, get high scores! Right?" Silas: "Right." Jamal and Silas: "Right..."

Storyline: A musical set in the Prohibition-era American South, where a speakeasy performer and club manager Rooster must contend with gangsters who have their eyes on the club while his piano player and partner Percival must choose between his love, Angel or his obligations to his father.
Trivia: It is an American musical film, released August 25, 2006, written and directed by Bryan Barber. The film stars André 3000 and Big Boi of the hip hop duo OutKast, and Idlewild features musical numbers written, produced, and chiefly performed by OutKast. Idlewild contrasts OutKast's hip-hop/funk/soul sound against a story based on a juke joint in the fictional Depression-era town of Idlewild, Georgia in 1935. Distributed by Universal Pictures, the film is a Universal and HBO Films production with Mosaic Media Group and Forensic Films. The cast includes Terrence Howard, Paula Jai Parker, Paula Patton, Cicely Tyson, Ben Vereen, Patti LaBelle, Ving Rhames, Macy Gray, Faizon Love, Bruce Bruce, Malinda Williams, Jackie Long and Bill Nunn.
Music: The musical numbers in the film are songs written and performed by OutKast, with other featured performances by Macy Gray and Paula Patton (dubbed by Debra Killings) The hip hop, funk, and soul stylings of the song score are intentionally anachronistic, given the fact that the film is set in 1935. Elements of 1930s-era blues and jazz music are however featured prominently in many of the musical numbers. The film's dance numbers, choreographed by Hinton Battle, also feature many period dances, primarily the jitterbug. Most of the songs in Idlewild had already been featured on the OutKast albums Big Boi and Dre Present...OutKast and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, essentially making Idlewild a jukebox musical. Seven of the songs from the film, along with several unreleased songs, were released by LaFace Records as an OutKast album entitled Idlewild at the time of the film's release.
The film received mixed response. Filming locations: Burgaw, North Carolina, USA; Orton Plantation, North Carolina, USA; Screen Gems Studios - 1223 North 23rd Street, Wilmington, North Carolina, USA (studio) (as EUE/Screen Gems Studios); Stage 28, Universal Studios - 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, California, USA.
The credits play over a musical dance number by Percival.
Lady Sings the Blues (1972) - numerous references.
The working title of the film was Speakerboxxx, named after Outkast's 2003 album.
Originally Idlewild was written as a music video treatment, until the success of their album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" encouraged them to expand it into a feature film. The film was going to premiere on HBO but it was ultimately decided to release it in theaters.
Ben Vereen agreed to be in the film because his daughter, Ka-Ron Om Vereen, was a fan of Outkast. Quote: Flask: "Well, you know how that old saying goes, 'What goes around, comes around'!" Rooster: "What do you know? You just a stupid-ass flask anyway." Flask: "Stupid? You're the one talking to a flask." Rooster: "I gotta stop drinkin' this shit." Anachromism: Hip hop and modern music played during Depression era.
