Movie Central, October 1, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Angelo Badalamenti. Trivia: 1. It is a Russian war drama film directed by Fedor Bondarchuk. This is the first Russian movie completely produced with IMAX 3D technology and shot using 3ality Technica's TS-5 and Stereoscopic Image Processor. At the same time, this project is the first Russian and non-American film produced using the IMAX format. The film was released in September 2013 in Volgograd and October in Russia before spreading out worldwide in subsequent months. The film was selected as the Russian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated. Stalingrad received the I3DS (International 3D and Advanced Imaging Society) Jury Award for Russia in 2014. The film is a love story set in the early part of the Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943). The story follows soldiers from both sides as they fight to survive while saving the lives of their loves, and struggle with retaining their humanity in the face of certain death and the unspeakable horrors of war. 2. Background: The original script by Ilya Tilkin does not have any literary source. The screenwriter studied diaries of the participants of the Battle of Stalingrad. He also used museum archives, documents and recorded stories of its participants. The prototype of this house is the legendary Pavlov's House in Stalingrad. On the eve of the filming, the script was significantly rewritten by the director and screenwriter Sergey Snezhkin including the plot and dialogues. 3. Production: The first part of filming took place in autumn 2011 and lasted 17 days. During that time, two key episodes of the battle were shot, in which 900 extras and historical reenactors took part in crowd scenes. The main shooting process began at the end of May 2012 and ran until 27 July 2012. Colossal scenery was constructed especially for Stalingrad filming at the former factory "Krasny Treugolnik" in St. Petersburg, and the Third North Fort near Kronstadt. Every detail for the movie sets depicting the centre of Stalingrad and the east bank of the Volga were faithfully and painstakingly reproduced, reflecting the vast scale of the battle. The budget for its construction was more than 120 million rubles (US$3.5 million), and it took over 400 people working for 6 months to build. 4. Filming in 3D technology was done on the original equipment provided by a Hollywood company, 3ality Technica. The film is produced in three main formats: 3D, IMAX 3D, and 2D. 5. For the reason that I continue to work on this project, I read all the history of the Battle of Stalingrad. From "Stalingrad" by Antony Beevor and "In the Trenches of Stalingrad" by Nekrasov to "Iron Cross" by Wilhelm Heinrich and "Life and Fate" by Vasily Grossman. – Fedor Bondarchuk, the director of Stalingrad. 6. It is planned that all German speech will not be dubbed into Russian in favour of subtitles instead. Fedor Bondarchuk and Thomas Kretschmann have already starred in films with the name Stalingrad around the same time. Kretschmann was in the 1993 German film, and Bondarchuk was in the 1989 Russian film, which was directed by Yuri Ozerov. 7. Reception: Reception of the film was mixed. It was praised for stunning visuals, sound editing, music, and acting, but at the same time criticized for direction and melodramatic plot. According to Russian review aggregator Kritikanstvo.ru, its average critical score in Russian media is 63 out of 100. Such media as Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Vedomosti, Izvestia, Kommersant, Expert were positive about the film. Several others, including Argumenty i Fakty, Ogoniok, and web publicist Dmitry Puchkov, gave negative reviews. Some of the critics were disappointed by the film's plot on patriotic grounds: they felt it does not pay a tribute to the heroes of the Stalingrad battle, but rather concentrates too much on a love story. According to VTsIOM poll, Stalingrad was the most popular film of 2013 in Russia. 12% of respondents named it as "Film of the year", which is far above 4% for the runner-up, sport drama Legend#17. On American film aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 48% rating, with an average score of 5.5/10, based on reviews from 61 critics. The site's consensus states: "There's no arguing with its impressive production values, but Stalingrad should have devoted more attention to the screenplay and spent less on special effects-enhanced spectacle." On another American aggregation website, Metacritic, the film has a 49/100 (citing "mixed or average reviews"), based on reviews from 21 critics. 8. Box office: Stalingrad was a huge box office success in Russia earning a total of US$51,700,000, which set a new box office record for contemporary Russian films. It also set the record for opening weekend takings, with revenue of US$16,120,000. Budget - $30 million; Box office - $68,075,573. Filming Locations: St. Petersburg, Russia. 9. Taglines: The epic battle that turned the tide of World War II. 10. Stalingrad is the first Russian movie made completely in 3D IMAX and the first non-North American film in the IMAX format. However, it is not the first 3D movie to come out of Russian territory. The honor goes to "Concert" produced in 1940-1941 in USSR, directed by Alexander Andrievsky, and released on February 4th, 1941. 11. The original script by Ilya Tilkin has no literary source. Tilkin studied museum archives as well as the diaries of the Stalingrad Battle participants to write the script. Some parts of Vassily Grossman's "Life and Fate" were used for a few scenes. 12. The house in the movie is based on the legendary Pavlov's House in Stalingrad and its history. 13. The set built near St. Petersburg was meant to reproduce every detail of Stalingrad's heroic image. The construction of the set took six months, involved over 400 people and cost around 4 million dollars. 14. Official submission of Russia to the Oscars 2014 best foreign language film category. 15. Fedor Bondarchuk, Andrey Smolyakov, and Thomas Kretschmann have already acted in films named Stalingrad: Thomas starred in the German movie Stalingrad (1993), Fedor and Andrey had roles in the Soviet movie Stalingrad (1989). 16. Til Schweiger denied a role in the film as he didn't want to play a Nazi officer. Til Schweiger, was a Nazi officer in "Inglourius Bastards" 2009. 17. The Stalingrad set built near St. Petersburg was also used to film the opening and closing scenes of earthquake/tsunami stricken Japan. 18. Captain Kan mentions how he had once been invited to meet Field Marshal Paulus. The problem is the movie takes place in November 1942 and Paulus was only a General at that time. Hitler didn't promote him to Field Marshal until January 1943, thinking that a Field Marshal would never surrender...He was quite wrong about that, Paulus surrendered to the Russians the very next day. 19. The numbering of the German tanks is incorrect. For example, one tank has the number "716", which would make it the sixth tank in the first platoon in the seventh company. A German tank platoon had no more than five tanks, so it should actually end with "5". Anachronisms: 1. Of the model airplanes hanging from the ceiling, one appears to be a model of an F4U Corsair which was only released in 1942. 2. The German tanks have added armor plates of a type introduced after the actual battle of Stalingrad was over. 3. The Canadian flag was shown with the Maple leaf. That flag wasn't introduced until 1965. [There is no anachronism in #3, as the scene with the Maple leaf Canadian flag is in modern day Japan. - Ed.]

Storyline: In 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis a team of Canadian troops in the arctic manage to capture three Soviet soldiers with super human abilities. They are examined but later break free and kill much of the troops stationed in the north. 50 years later, a team of Canadian scientists discover them buried beneath the Arctic ice. They begin to debate on what to do with them but can never reach an agreement. When the soldiers are revived, they again go on killing spree and kill much of the military and scientist personnel. Malraux walks through the wilderness after them when he stumbles across an Inuit who agrees to team up and fight these intruders to stop them from reaching south. They succeed in catching up to them and kill them after surviving many atrocities. Trivia: It is an Canadian action-science fiction film directed by Sturla Gunnarsson and starring Dominic Purcell, Adam Beach and Michael Ironside. Ice Soldiers was filmed in the Sudbury, Ontario area in 2013. Reception: Norman Wilner of Now wrote, "It's all pretty generic, and very stupid". David Johnson of DVD Verdict called it "pretty much standard-issue stalking and stabbing." Jay Stone of Canada.com rated it 2/5 stars and called it "a gleefully preposterous slice of B movie cheese". Writing Credits: Jonathan Tydor. Telefilm Canada. Anachronism: In the beginning where the "super" soldiers get loose , one of them is seen using a Beretta 92 handgun. Beretta 92's manufacturing didn't start until 1975.

Trivia: It is an American romantic comedy-drama film directed by James Ponsoldt, written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley. The film is based on the novel of the same name by Tim Tharp. The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it garnered critical acclaim. Production: Principal photography commenced in Athens, Georgia in July 2012 and wrapped a month later. Also filmed at University of Georgia. While the novel is set in Oklahoma, director James Ponsoldt preferred to shoot in his hometown;[5] he explained: "The script didn't identify where it was set – the setting just wasn't a big city. It felt vaguely suburban – or kind of like a college town. It seemed to me that the script had a sense of place in the way that Breaking Away did. Athens was such an obvious candidate as a setting to shoot the film in – and it was really the only place I wanted to make the film. Filming in Athens was incredibly meaningful to me. We shot in the streets and houses of my childhood!"
Originally the scene where Sutter's father asks him to take care of the tab at the bar was supposed to end after Tommy walks away from the table. Sutter looking through his wallet, asking Amy if she has any money, and then the two of them trying to put together enough money to pay was all improvised by Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley. The director thought it was such a sad moment that he kept it in the movie.
Filming took 25 days.
At one point during preproduction, the script began to change. Shailene Woodley was worried that the new rewrites would make the story less honest, and at one point even called Miles Teller to tell him that she was thinking of dropping out. Teller managed to convince her to stay on the movie, and the rewrites never happened.
According to the director, he was worried that Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley wouldn't get along after he saw them interact at a lunch he arranged. Teller (who was late to meeting because he had been in Las Vegas with friends the night before) was outgoing and energetic, while Woodley, though amused by Teller, was quiet and for the most part kept to herself unless she was spoken to. After the lunch was over and the director was driving away, he noticed Woodley and Teller talking in the parking lot, but decided to leave them alone - he later found out that the two of them spent two hours talking and getting to know each other in the parking lot. Teller and Woodley are now close friends.
In order to secure actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, whose agents were hesitant about the role due to the small budget, producers told her agents that Julianne Moore also desperately wanted the role and if she didn't say yes within that day, they'd give it to Moore.
The film includes both Miles Teller's and Shailene Woodley's first sex scene.
The sex scene was shot in a single, unbroken take that lasts well over two minutes.
Saoirse Ronan was originally offered the role of Aimee. Nicholas Hoult was considered for the lead role before Miles Teller was cast.
Kyle Chandler was only on set for 3 days.
Thomas McDonnell was originally cast in the role of Sutter Keely.
Miles Teller calls Mary Elizabeth Winstead a "muchacha" sometime in the film. The Song during the closing credits, "Song For Zula" by Phosphorescent, is from the album titled "Muchacho".
The original draft of the script was focused primarily on Miles Teller's character's battle with diabetes. His habitual drinking of large beverages remains a key feature of the film.
The ending in the movie differs from the ending in the novel. In the movie, there is a more hopeful ending for Sutter, and his relationship with Aimee is left slightly open ended. In the book, Sutter lies to Aimee, telling her that he cannot go to Philadelphia right after graduation like they had planned because he must attend summer school. He convinces her to go without him and promises her that he will go once he finishes school. However, Sutter tells the reader that he will never contact her again and will block her email and phone number. The book ends with Sutter drunkenly walking down the street by himself with a bleeding finger that he cut while opening a beer bottle.
Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley disagree on what happened between their two characters after the movie ends. Teller believes that the two went to lunch, but that the two would not reconcile since Aimee appears to have grown stronger and has moved on. Woodley agreed that the two went to lunch, but she believes that because of their age and immaturity, the two characters reconciled romantically, despite the fact that it wouldn't be healthy.
Quotes: 1. Sutter: "The best thing about now, is that there's another one tomorrow." 2. Aimee: "I like to think there's more to a person than just one thing." 3. Sutter: "You think beauty's in some classroom or some textbook, and it's not. That's not what it's about. This right here. This is beautiful. All of this. That's all you need." 3. Sutter: "This is the youngest we will ever be again."

Dallas Buyers Club. 2013 (biographical), Starring
Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof,[3] a real-life AIDS patient who smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas when he found them effective at improving his symptoms. In an interview with CBS News' Lee Cowan in February 2014, McConaughey told that he selected the role because he thought it was not just a normal story, but it was a story of a "wild man".[4] McConaughey was born and raised outside of Dallas, so he was very familiar with the culture and he also thought the script was "incredibly human, with no sentimentality,". McConaughey lost nearly 50 pounds to play Woodroof in the film.[5]
Jennifer Garner as Dr. Eve Saks, who treats AIDS patients like Woodroof and Rayon. Upon Garner's casting, after reading the script she expressed, "I had heard about it, and I had seen pictures of Matthew losing weight. And really couldn't imagine how I was going to do it, and was so happy at home."[6]
Jared Leto as Rayon,[7] a fictional trans woman with HIV who helps Woodroof. Leto was not looking to return to acting, since he had been busy working as a writer/director and singer/musician for five years, but he could not ignore the role after reading the script and the plum part of Rayon. In order to accurately portray his role, Leto lost 30 pounds, shaved his eyebrows and waxed his entire body.[8] He stated the portrayal was grounded in his meeting transgender people while researching the role.[9] He told in an interview that he had faced a real man with HIV and AIDS when he moved to Los Angeles in 1991.[10] He worked really hard on Rayon's voice and refused to break character during filming, on which director Vallée expressed, "I don't know Leto, Jared never showed me Jared."[5]

Trivia: It is an American biographical drama film, co-written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) was an AIDS patient diagnosed in the mid 1980s when HIV/AIDS treatments were under-researched, while the disease was not understood and highly stigmatized. As part of the experimental AIDS treatment movement, he smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas for treating his symptoms, and distributed them to fellow people with AIDS by establishing the "Dallas Buyers Club" while facing opposition from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Two fictional supporting characters, Dr. Eve Saks (Jennifer Garner), and Rayon (Jared Leto), were composite roles created from the writer's interviews with transgender AIDS patients, activists, and doctors.
Screenwriter Borten interviewed Woodroof in 1992 and wrote the script, which he polished with writer Wallack in 2000, and then sold to producer Robbie Brenner. Several other actors, directors, and producers who were attached at various times to the development of the film left the project. Universal Pictures also tried to make the film, but did not. A couple of screenwriters wrote drafts that were rejected. In 2009, producer Brenner involved McConaughey, because of his Dallas origins, the same as Woodroof's. Brenner selected the first draft, written by Borten and Wallack, for the film, and then Vallée was set to direct the film. Principal photography began on November 11, 2012, in New Orleans, Louisiana, continuing for 25 days of filming, which also included shooting in Baton Rouge. Brenner and Rachel Winter co-produced the film. The official soundtrack album was featured by various artists, and was released digitally on October 29, 2013, by the Relativity Music Group.
Dallas Buyers Club premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and was released theatrically in the United States on November 1, 2013, by Focus Features, strategically entering wide release on November 22 for award season. The film grossed over $27 million domestically and $27.9 million internationally, the box office revenue returned over $55 million against a budget of $5 million in 182-days of a theatrical run. It grossed over $4.5 million from DVD, and over $3 million from Blu-ray sales. The film received widespread critical acclaim, resulting in numerous accolades. Most recognized the performances of McConaughey and Leto, who respectively received the Academy Award for Best Actor and for Best Supporting Actor at the 86th Academy Awards, making this the first film since Mystic River (2003), and only the fifth movie ever, to win both awards. The film also won for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, having received Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing nominations.
The budget was also so low for this film that only two-hundred and fifty dollars ($250) was allotted to the Makeup department. Amazingly, the film's artists were able to work within that figure, and the film's Makeup and Hairstyling won an Oscar.

Cameo - Adam Dunn: The Major League Baseball player, a friend of producer Joe Newcomb, helped finance the film and appears in the non-speaking, uncredited role of Neddie Jay, the bartender. Quotes: 1. Ron Woodroof: "Let me give y'all a little news flash. There ain't nothin' out there can kill ... Ron Woodroof in 30 days." 2. Rayon: "Relax, I don't bite. I guess you're handsome, in a Texas, hick, white trash, dumb kind of way." 3. Ron Woodroof: "Do you ever miss your regular life?" Dr. Eve Saks: "Regular life? What is that? It doesn't exist." Anachronisms: 1. In Ron's motel office, he has a poster on the wall behind his chair of a Lamborghini Aventador, which was released in 2011. Roughly 25 years after the scene was supposed to have taken place. 2. Ron is told that he has tested positive for HIV in 1985. There was no reliable blood test available until late 1986, and the term HIV was not used by the medical community at that time. People were diagnosed as having AIDS based on their white cell count and other symptoms.

On his arrival to the U.S., Ron hands over his passport to a U.S. Border Agent who opens it. When opened, the first page of the passport showed the U.S. Secretary of State's message which asks nations to allow uninterrupted passage to the passport holder without any hindrance in three languages (English, French, and Spanish). This passport message was introduced by the U.S. State Department sometime circa 1996 until it was discontinued circa 2005 when the U.S. started issuing e-passports.

Trivia: It is a German-Canadian historical disaster film produced and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson.[5] The film stars Kit Harington, Emily Browning, Carrie-Anne Moss, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica Lucas, Jared Harris, and Kiefer Sutherland. It premiered in France, Belgium, and Russia on February 19, 2014 and was released over the course of the next two days in many major territories, including the United States, Canada, India, and Australia. Set in 79 A.D., Pompeii tells the epic story of Milo (Kit Harington), a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia (Emily Browning), as Mount Vesuvius erupts. The film opens with scenes of plaster casts of the victims of Pompeii as quotes on the destruction are made. The film was shot in Toronto, Ontario from March to July 2013.[14] The film was primarily shot at Cinespace Film Studios' Kipling Avenue facility. Filming locations: Pompeii, Naples, Campania, Italy (some exteriors); Cinespace Film Studios, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Leading man Kit Harington underwent an extremely potent training regimen for the film in order bulk up for the role. Harington stated he had "wanted to do a body transformation for something — it was one of those processes that I had never really done before...I became obsessed with it. To the point where I was going to the gym three times a day for six days a week. I was becoming exhausted. So the trainer stepped in and said, 'Look, you don't need to go through all of this. This is body dysmorphia now." Pompeii received generally negative reviews from critics.
Historical accuracy: The film relies heavily on the works of Pliny the Younger in its historical construction. The film starts with Pliny the Younger's famous quote, in which he states, "You could hear the shrieks of women, the wailing of infants, and the shouting of men; some were calling their parents, others their children or their wives, trying to recognize them by their voices. People bewailed their own fate or that of their relatives, and there were some who prayed for death in their terror of dying. Many besought the aid of the gods, but still more imagined there were no gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness for evermore." Anderson became enamored of his writings, particularly their near fantastical element and their eloquence, whose influence can be seen throughout the film in the destruction of Pompeii. The depiction of the eruption is based on eruptions which occurred all over the world over the last ten years. Anderson cites the volcanic eruption of Mount Etna in Italy and various eruptions of Japanese volcanoes as specific examples of volcanic eruptions which the production crew observed through footage which has been captured on film.
The thumbs-up/thumbs-down gestures which stem from gladiatorial events had different if not opposite meanings to what they do today. A down-turned thumb by an official symbolized the winner burying his sword in the sand and the loser's life spared; an upturned thumb expressed delivering the killing stroke.
Kit Harington suffered from body dysmorphia (excessive anxiety about the appearance of one's body) while working out for this role. He said he became completely obsessed with it to the point where he was "going to the gym three times a day for six days a week." He suffered from a case of "exhaustion" and eventually his trainer stepped in to reign him in. But he said that he was "proud of what he achieved in the end".
Director Paul W.S. Anderson said that he was not pleased when a lot of people online said that Kit Harington's six pack abs were digitally enhanced and not real after the first stills and trailers for the movie were released. He reiterated that they were completely real with no make-up or digital enhancement and Harington actually looked like that for the shooting of those scenes.
The opening scene of Milo as a young child in Britannia takes place in the year 62, the year Mt. Vesuvius erupted prior to 'the big one' in 79 depicted in the film.
Leading man Kit Harington underwent an extreme physical transformation for the film at his own behest. After he read the script, he went up to director Paul W.S. Anderson and told him that to portray the character as written in the script (his character Milo is described as "absolutely ripped"), he would transform his physique completely. Consequently, Kit Harington undertook a heavy 'bulking' regime and a diet of 3000 calories a day to put on 2 stones (12.7kg/28lbs) of weight in 5 weeks. He then went on a very severe diet and 'cutting' regime for 4 weeks to cut back from 12 stone (76.2kg/168lbs) to 10 stone (63.5kg/140lbs) acquiring intense muscle definition in the process. Harington later said that he was very pleased with the results and that it was the best shape of his life.
Kit Harington's shirtless introduction scene (in the gladiatorial arena in London) was shot on the last 2 days of principal photography to give him as much time as possible to get his body in shape. He started training before filming began and throughout filming to peak for that scene.
The peculiar form of hand shake Severus and Senator Corvus share is real and period accurate, recorded on old frescoes and statues.
Paul W.S. Anderson said that he re-shot the scene after whipping of Kit Harington's character where he and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje have a conversation while being shirtless because towards the end of the filming he realized that they had gotten "way more cut" than when they had filmed it.
Kit Harington said that he always wanted to do a complete body-transformation for a role. This was the primary reason for his accepting this role. Another reason was that it gave him his first shot at being a macho leading man, something he always wanted to do.
This is the second feature movie collaboration of Kit Harington and Carrie-Anne Moss within the span of two years.
The personality of Senator Corvus is suitable with his name. In Latin, "Corvus" means "raven".
Milla Jovovich was considered for the role of Aurelia.
The first official teaser trailer of the movie was released on August 21, 2013, six months before the theatrical release in USA. Coincidentally, that is also actress Carrie-Anne Moss's birthday.
Paul W.S. Anderson's wife and frequent leading lady Milla Jovovich visited the set.
A critic described the film as "Titanic meets Gladiator".
In reality, among the ash-covered bodies buried by the volcano, archaeologists did find a couple actually embracing together (although not in the position depicted in the movie), and they are now known as "The Lovers of Pompei". Moreover, the corpse of a very large man, probably from North Africa, was really found in Pompeii's arena.
UK versions are edited to reduce stronger moments of violence and digitally remove blood from weaponry in order to secure a '12A' rating.
From the topography, Cassia's villa is the Villa of Mysteries, just outside the town of Pompeii. It is possible to visit the villa today therefore it cannot have fallen into the sea, as depicted in the film.
When Cassia's father examines the damage to the amphitheater, he comments that it has stood for 100 years. Pompeii has the oldest amphitheater in the Roman world - it was built in 70 BC, so would have been almost 150 years old AD 79.
Pompeii suffered a serious earthquake in AD 62, resulting in damage to most of the town and causing numerous inhabitants to leave. As a result of the earthquake, gladiators were held in temporary barracks in the portico of the theatre, not in the amphitheater itself.
Milo and Proculus fall through the arena floor during their fight sequence, though Pompeii's amphitheater has no substructures.
The festival going on at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius is portrayed as the Saturnalia. Vesuvius erupted on the 24th of August, a day after the Vulcanalia (a festival for the god of fire, Vulcan) ended.
There were not "bombs" of flaming hard rock launched by the eruption of 79. There were, however, massive quantities of pumice, a much lighter air-filled stone that floats on water.
Men and women were not allowed to sit next to each other in the amphitheater. Women and slaves were made to sit at the back (the highest level) while the men sat closer to the arena.
In modern Pompeii, the amphitheater stands quite well preserved. In fact it is considered the best preserved. It doesn't fare so well in the movie.
Pompeii is not located between Mount Vesuvius and the coast. The volcano is northwest of the city, while at that time, the coast was just to the west. The location of Pompeii in the film is more consistent with Herculaneum.
The ancient town of Pompeii was not directly on the ocean. Although the coast was nearer to it in ancient times than today, its walls (which defined the city) ended about a half mile away. However, the nearby separate town of Herculaneum, also devastated during the eruption, was on the ocean.
Nearby cities such as Herculanuem and Oplontis should be visible in some of the bird's eye shots of the area.
Pompeii's amphitheater is located in the south-east corner of the town. It is shown in its correct location in the opening sequence, but has moved into the town center when Milo and Cassia are riding in the hills. Quotes: 1. Corvus: "What exactly is that slave to you?" Cassia: "Everything that you are not." 2. Atticus: "For those of us about to die, we salute you. I die a free man!" 3. Cassia: "You could ride before you were a gladiator?" Milo: "I could ride before I could walk." Anachronisms: 1. Horse riders in the movie are seen using stirrups, which were not known in Europe until the Middle Ages. 2. Corvus has a bust of the Emperor Hadrian on display in his military tent. Hadrian was emperor from AD 117 - 138, and would have only been 3 years old at the time. 3. When first talking to Cassia in the balcony, Senator Corvus refers to Rome as "The Eternal City". Yet, the nickname was not coined by the Romans but by the Christians, much later, when Rome was already the seat of the Papacy.

Trivia: It is an American fantasy slapstick action comedy film based on a series of comic books published by Dark Horse Comics. This film was directed by Chuck Russell, and produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and New Line Cinema, and originally released to movie theatres on July 29, 1994. The film stars Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss, a man who finds the Mask of Loki that turns him into The Mask, a grinning, magically-powered trickster uninhibited by anything, including physical reality. The film's supporting cast includes Peter Greene as mafia officer Dorian Tyrell, Amy Yasbeck as a newspaper reporter, Peter Riegert and Jim Doughan as police detectives, Richard Jeni as Stanley's friend, Orestes Matacena as nightclub owner and mafia boss Niko, Ben Stein as a psychologist, and Cameron Diaz in her feature film debut as Stanley's love interest Tina Carlyle.
The movie was among the top ten moneymakers of its year, cemented Carrey's reputation as one of the dominant comedic actors of the era, and established Diaz as a major starlet immediately, who would go on to have a long career as a leading lady. Carrey was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role, and the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects (Tom Bertino, Jon Farhat, Scott Squires and Steve 'Spaz' Williams), but lost to Forrest Gump.
Reception
The film was a box-office success, grossing $119 million domestically and over $350 million worldwide,[1] becoming the second-highest grossing superhero movie at that time, behind Batman. Even though it has been out-grossed by several superhero movies throughout the years, it remains immensely popular, especially among children. The film also received positive reviews from critics, including Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times, who gave the film 3 out of 4 stars, noting Jim Carrey for his "joyful performance."[2] The Mask is one of three films featuring Carrey (the others being Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber) released in 1994 that helped launch the actor to superstardom, though The Mask was the most successful of these three films both critically and commercially. The film is also notable for immediately establishing Diaz – previously a complete unknown – as a major star in Hollywood as well. The film is also considered a cult classic. It received generally positive reviews. Filming locations:

When all the credits have finished some jazz drumming is heard. Then the familiar sounds of The Mask are heard saying "Yo-ho-ho-ho" (in a very drawn voice) then the sound of The Mask spinning away is heard straight after.

New Line's Special Edition DVD includes a scene that were removed from the theatrical version prior to release: a prologue, set in the 11th century, showing the arrival of a Viking boat to America; the Vikings come ashore, bury a chest that contains Loki's mask and then leave.
The part when Jim Carrey is being chased by the gangsters and pulls the wet condom out of his pocket and says, "Sorry wrong pocket," was improvised by Carrey.

As befits Stanley's obsession with cartoons, The Mask acts like various cartoon characters, most notably the Tasmanian Devil (traveling as a tornado), Pepe Le Pew (romancing Tina in the park), Bugs Bunny ("dying" in the gangster's arms), and Tex Avery's Wolf (seeing Tina in the nightclub).

Jim Carrey was paid $450,000 for his work in the film, a huge bargain for New Line because the deal was signed before Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) became a surprise hit, and made The Mask a hot property for the summer 1994 release schedule; Carrey then inked a $7 million before this film opened to star in Dumb & Dumber (1994).

The one thing that attracted Jim Carrey to the project more than anything else was that Stanley Ipkiss, much like him, is a huge fan of cartoons.

A lot of moments, particularly ones involving the dog, were ad-libbed on set. The scene where Milo won't let go of the Frisbee as Ipkiss tries to stash the money in his closet wasn't planned, and Jim Carrey ad-libbed Ipkiss' frustrated reaction to Milo not being able to run up the wall.

The line "You love me, you really love me!" after the Mask's "award acceptance speech" in the Coco Bongo is a parody of Sally Field's infamous 1985 Oscar acceptance speech, when she won Best Actress for Places in the Heart (1984). Her actual words were "You like me... right now, you like me!" but it is often misquoted as "...you really like me!" or "...you really love me!" (as in this example).

An original script idea was for Stanley to meet the street gang that he later encounters as the Mask earlier in the film, getting mugged and having his watch stolen. This is why when his landlady asks him if he knows what time it is, he says, "Actually, no." The scene was likely shot since at least one trailer featured Stanley saying to the gang "I have no money" while listing other things he doesn't have. This scene is not in the final movie. As written, he would have offered them the mask, not knowing its power. Instead the gang just roughs him up and he goes home, which is why he's in shambles in the next scene.

When Ipkiss puts the mask on in his apartment, and becomes a whirlwind, lightning strikes in the background reveal a back lit image of his skeleton. The viewer will need to play the movie in slow motions as the scene is only 1/10th of a second long.

Based on a Dark Horse comic book series of the same name, which frequently comprised very dark horror stories. Chuck Russell has said that the movie script started off in that tone before being transformed as a vehicle for Jim Carrey's unique comedy.

According to his memoirs Gary Kemp turned down the role of Tyrell in order to film Magic Hunter (1994).
The DVD contains two deleted scenes. One was an opening scene with the Vikings coming to bury the Mask on the shore. Another was in the warehouse after Peggy turns Stanley over to Dorian: she asks for a reward, but Dorian picks her up and throws her into the printing press, with a newspaper printing out that shows her smashed face and says she died that night. This last was deleted so that Peggy could be brought back for the hoped-for sequel.

The never-made sequel would have had Dorian returning to perpetrate new villainy, and the Mask being worn by a woman as happened in the source comics. Quotes: [repeated line] The Mask: "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN'!" 2. Tina Carlyle: "Thanks." Stanley Ipkiss: "For what?" Tina Carlyle: "Lots of things. Sharing the sunset with me. For being the only guy whose ever treated me like a person and not some sort of party favor. For being any kind of romantic. Even a hopeless one." Stanley Ipkiss: "You're welcome."

Trivia: It is a drama film directed by Stephen Frears, based on the book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee by journalist Martin Sixsmith. Starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, it tells the true story of Philomena Lee's 50-year-long search for her forcibly adopted son, and Sixsmith's efforts to help her find him. The film was co-produced in the United States and the United Kingdom. The film has been recognised by several international film awards. Coogan and Jeff Pope won Best Screenplay at the 70th Venice International Film Festival. It was also awarded the People's Choice Award Runner-Up prize at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was nominated in four categories at the 86th Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay for Coogan and Pope, Best Actress for Dench, and Best Original Score for Desplat. It was also nominated for four BAFTA Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. Philomena received widespread critical acclaim from reviewers upon release. Budget - $12 million; Box office - $100.1 million. Accusations of anti-Catholicism: The New York Post characterized the film as "another hateful and boring attack on Catholics". Historicity: The film employs artistic license with the real life events. Sister Hildegard McNulty, the principal antagonist in the film, is depicted as having met with journalist Sixsmith after he started working on the story. In reality, McNulty died in 1995 and Sixsmith only began his investigation in 2004. The final scene where a wheelchair-bound McNulty chastises Philomena for carnality is also artistic license. Sixsmith has said that Coogan's portrayal of him shared his "intolerance of injustice in all walks of life", and his admiration for a woman like Philomena who has the strength to rise above this.

Martin Sixsmith makes reference to the Tin Man in dialogue when talking about Philomena's titanium hip replacement.
Big Momma's House (2000)
Philomena suggests that she and Martin watch it in her hotel room in Washington, DC.
There are flashbacks which are done with "home movies". Some of these were created for the film but some of them are from actual footage of her real son.
While visiting the convent, Martin Sixsmith sees an autographed photo of an American actress on the wall and asks if it is Jayne Mansfield (and is told it's actually Jane Russell). A character who appears later in the film, Pete Olsson, is played by Peter Hermann, who is married to Jayne Mansfield's daughter, Mariska Hargitay.
In the United States, the MPAA gave the film an 'R' rating for ambiguous usage of the "F-word" (usually, only one non-sexual utterance of the word is permitted for 'PG-13'). A lengthy appeals process ensued, with producer Harvey Weinstein and actor/writer Steve Coogan testifying at the hearings in Los Angeles. The Weinstein Company won their appeal for 'PG-13' on November 13, 2013, nearly a week before the film's scheduled theatrical release.
Barbara Jefford (Sister Hildegarde) is Judi Dench's long-time costar in William Shakespeare plays on stage and screen.
Just as Philomena and Martin are entering Peter Olsson's home, the camera cuts to a close-up of photo of Michael/Tony. Prominently to the right of the photo is a decorative turquoise oval metal object with a Hebrew prayer written around its circumference. This is a container for a citron fruit which is used ceremonially on the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles.
The BMW hire car in Ireland has Republic of Ireland registration plates and a Northern Ireland tax disc. Quotes: 1. "Philomena: But I don't wanna hate people. I don't wanna be like you. Look at you." Martin Sixsmith: "I'm angry." Philomena: "Must be exhausting." 2. Martin Sixsmith: "Yes, hello... I was just admiring your picture of Jayne Mansfield." Sister Claire: "No, that's Jane Russell. Jayne Mansfield was the blonde one." Anachronisms: 1. Though the film appears to be set in 2004, the red Mazda MX-5 in which Pete Olsen arrives at his house is a third generation model, not launched until 2005. 2. The Ford Escape, which Pete drives in the US in 2004, is a second generation model from 2007.

Storyline: Oft-married Gemma visits Sarajevo with her only child, Pietro. The two of them had escaped the city sixteen years ago, just days after his birth during the Bosnian War. Diego, her second husband and Pietro's father, remained behind and later died. As they travel with her wartime friend Gojco, she tries to repair her relationship with Pietro, asking her third husband (by phone) if she should tell Pietro that she did not give birth to him. Gemma is later stunned by the revelation that Pietro's real mother, Aska, is still alive and married to Gojco. Aska reveals that, contrary to Gemma's long held belief, Diego was not Pietro's father, as she had been a sex slave to a garrison of the Serb Volunteer Guard. Gemma must face loss, the cost of war and the redemptive power of love. Trivia: It is an Italian/Spanish film directed by Sergio Castellitto. It is based on a novel by Margaret Mazzantini. The film received negative critic reviews. It holds an 18% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 22 reviews. About the film, The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Dripping with floridly phony dialogue that no actor should be forced to speak, this paternity mystery uses the Bosnian conflict as the manipulative backdrop to a preposterously overwrought and overlong melodrama."[verification needed] Variety added that the film had "little to offer beyond some pitiful twists." Screen International went on to write, "director Sergio Castellitto’s adaptation of Margaret Mazzantini’s novel leaves no cliché unturned, yearning for big emotions that are consistently flattened by the lumbering storytelling." Filming locations: Bosnia-Herzegovina; Korcula, Dubrovnik-Neretva, Croatia; Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina; Rome, Lazio, Italy; Torino, Italy. Italian Tax Credit. Quotes: 1. Diego: "The weirdest love stories are always the best." 2. Gemma: "We're not going to die..." 3. Doctor: "I am ashamed to belong to the human race. God will not forgive us. Not even the children."
The Last Outlaw. 1994 (Western/HBO), Starring Mickey Rourke as Graff; Dermot Mulroney as Eustis; Ted Levine as Potts; John C. McGinley as Wills; Steve Buscemi as Philo; Keith David as Lovecraft; Daniel Quinn as Loomis; Gavan O'Herlihy as Marshal Sharp; Richard Fancy as Banker McClintock; Tom Connor as Bank Teller; Sid Klinge as Young Man; Phil Mead as Bartender; Paul Ben-Victor as Posseman Grubb; Greg Doty as Posseman #1; J.D. Garfield (as John David Garfield) as Posseman #2; Jake Walker as Posseman #3; Marvin Gilbert as Posseman; Edward Proudfoot as Posseman; Joey Rourke as Posseman; Darryl Shay as Posseman, Cisco Valderrama as Posseman and Elliott S. Valderrama as Posseman. HBO, October 24, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Mason Daring. Storyline: The story follows a band of former Confederate soldiers who were part of a cavalry unit that had fought during the American Civil War, with few surviving to its end. Their commander, Graff (Rourke) had once been a heroic and staunch supporter of the southern cause, but after losing his family he became cold hearted and ruthless. His second in command is Eustis (Mulroney), whom Graff has trained since 1861 on the strategies of leadership and combat command, right down to knowing exactly how many rounds of ammunition each of his soldiers has. The film centers around the relationship between Graff and Eustis, and the irony of Eustis turning on Graff due to Graff making a decision that Eustis disagrees with, and which mirrors a decision Eustis is also forced to make himself as a commander later. Trivia: It is a western starring Mickey Rourke, Dermot Mulroney, Ted Levine, Daniel Quinn, Gavan O'Herlihy, Keith David, John C. McGinley, and Steve Buscemi, along with a variety of other known actors, which has since become a cult classic among western genre fans. It was directed by Geoff Murphy and written by Eric Red. When they reach the Rio Grande, they are heading south into Mexico, but the river is flowing left to right. When approaching the river from Texas, the flow is always right to left. As the outlaws head "east" (after much discussion and emphasis that they are going east instead of south) their shadows appear on their right as they ride, indicating that the sun must be shining from the north. Filming locations: Abiquiu, New Mexico, USA; Cook Ranch, Galisteo, New Mexico, USA; Diablo Canyon, near, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA; Nambe Pueblo, Nambe, New Mexico, USA; Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. Quote: Potts: [looking across the Rio Grande at a desert] "That ain't Mexico. Where's the women?" Anachronism: The song that Graff repeatedly whistles, and is sung by the men accompanying him, is Unreconstructed Rebel aka Good Ol' Rebel. The song was not written until 1914, many years after the setting of the movie.
Solo. 2013 (Canadian), Starring Annie Clark as Gillian; Daniel Kash as Ray; Richard Clarkin as Fred; Steven Love as Marty; Alyssa Capriotti as Lacey; Sarah Emes as Janie; Sonia Laplante as Therapist; Megann McCandless as Gillian's Sister and Boca as Dog; Campers: Karl Doerch, Stephen Fenn, Sarah Graham, Meghan Kors, Heather Langeuin, Wyatt Kapler Schmidt, Jason Thompson, Brock Tompsett, Taylor Tompsett, Martha Wood, Jessie Van Ekelenburg, Faith Spencer Walt, Brett Burns, Jadyn Burns, Madison Burns, Miles Chung, Quinton Chung, Julia Conron, Kayla Conron, Cassidy Davis, Georgia Gray, Fiona Murray, Hunter Patterson, Taylor Pierce, Logan Ross, Tyler Ross, Abby Shimmerman, Ben Shimmerman, Jacob Shimmerman, Kaily Sobieraj and Sam Tilly. Movie Central, August 25, 2014. Soundtrack: Music by Todor Kobakov. Storyline: Gillian (Annie Clark) is a teenager who reluctantly takes a job as a camp counselor at a summer camp. Before she can take the job, Gillian is informed that she must prove her survival skills at a nearby island on the camp's property which is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a former camper. She's reassured that it's safe, but is put on edge when she comes across Ray (Daniel Kash), a local man who claims that Gillian had sent out a distress call. Her uneasiness grows until later that night, when her seemingly easy two day initiation rite turns sinister. Trivia: It is a Canadian mystery thriller film directed by Isaac Cravit and is the first film released under Shock Till You Drop's US film distribution branch. The movie was first released on October 29, 2013 in Canada and stars Annie Clark as a teenager who finds herself terrorized after she's left alone in the woods for a two night camp counselor initiation process. Of his inspiration for the film, Cravit mentioned that he was moved to create Solo after a friend of his told him a campfire story in which a girl looks through her summer camp photos to discover that an unknown person had taken pictures of her while she slept. Reception: Critical reception for Solo has been mixed to positive. Common praise centered around the film's restraint and slow build towards suspense, and Fearnet commented that the movie was "rather quietly intense and engaging". Criticisms for Solo tended to center around elements that the reviewers felt were "predictable twists and turns that fans of the genre will be able to catch from the end of the first act". Twitch Film gave a mostly negative review, as they felt that the film did not make use of its full potential and that more use of the film's inspiration or of sound would have improved the movie's tension. Filmed in the City of Toronto; Rouge Park; Camp Cairn; Lake of Bays and Camp Pathfinder; Algonquin Provincial Park. Catering by Absolutely Famished.

Ethan is seen rescuing Zooey from a group of boys in the washroom then proceeds to carry her out of the nightclub. In The Bodyguard, Kevin Costner's character rescues Whitney Houston from her fans on the stage and also ends up carrying her out of the nightclub.
Elevators do not just drop when a cable connection is either lost or otherwise interrupted by shooting; the safety system invented by Elisha Graves Otis in 1852 locks the car in place and prevents it from falling.
The hotel and the fortress in Belgrade from the beginning of the movie are on different sides of the river. It would have taken Ethan and the Albino close to an hour on foot to get from one place to the other.
When the student is talking to Ethan after he is picking up Zooey at school, the student makes a cowboy reference. Kevin Costner played western lawman Wyatt Earp in Wyatt Earp (1994). [Alternatively, the "cowboy" reference could also be to Costner's even earlier breakout role in 1985 in the great movie, "Silverado."]
Ethan says that he had bought Chinese, then a few minutes later he is sitting eating Nigiri Sushi, which is Japanese.
Quotes: 1. Vivi Delay: "The wolf is the most dangerous terrorist this world has ever faced. Only you can stop him." Ethan Renner: "I'm going to need a new suit." 2. Ethan Renner: "Don't take this the wrong way, Viv, but you're not my type." Vivi Delay: "I'm everybody's type."
