"What type of animal did the crew of the USS Enterprise need to rescue in ""Star Trek IV: The Journey Home""?"

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home | Memory Alpha | Fandom powered by Wikia Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 42,127pages on  4th of 13 Star Trek films   →  105th of 729 released in all  →   Arc : Project Genesis (3 of 3)   STAR DATE: 1986. HOW ON EARTH CAN THEY SAVE THE FUTURE? "A catastrophe in the future can only be averted by a journey into Earth's past." - 1986 TV ad Admiral James T. Kirk is prepared to take the consequences for rescuing Spock and stealing and then losing the starship Enterprise, but a new danger has put Earth itself in jeopardy. Kirk and his crew must travel back in time in an old Klingon Bird-of-Prey to right an ancient wrong, in the hopes of saving Earth – and the Federation – from certain doom. Contents Edit Sensor analysis It is the year 2286 , and an alien vessel is moving through space . The vessel is detected by the USS Saratoga , and sensor analysis reveals it to be some sort of probe . The captain of the Saratoga contacts Starfleet Command and informs them that this alien probe is apparently headed to the Terran solar system . Starfleet tells Saratoga to continue the tracking and they will analyze their transmissions and advise. "James T. Kirk, renegade and terrorist!" Back on Earth, the Klingon ambassador to the United Federation of Planets demands the extradition of Admiral James T. Kirk for murdering a Klingon crew and for stealing a Klingon vessel. The ambassador also denounces the failed Genesis Project as a mere weapon and the Genesis planet as a staging area from which to launch the annihilation of the Klingon race. Just then, Ambassador Sarek arrives in the council chambers and says that Genesis was named for creating life and not death. He then accuses the Klingons of shedding the first blood in attempting to possess the secrets of Genesis. Sarek points out that the Klingons destroyed USS Grissom and killed Kirk's son , which the Klingon ambassador does not deny, saying they have the right to defend their race. Sarek then asks if the Klingons have the right to commit murder, which causes an uproar in the council chambers until the President calls for order. Sarek says that he has come to speak on behalf of the accused, which the Klingon ambassador decries as a personal bias, as Sarek's son was saved by Kirk. The president tells Sarek that the council's deliberations have already concluded. He then tells the Klingon ambassador that Admiral Kirk faces nine violations of Starfleet regulations . The Klingon ambassador says that the fact Kirk is only facing Starfleet regulations is outrageous and decries that as long as Kirk lives, there will never be any peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. As he and his aides storm out of the council chambers, someone in the council chambers calls the ambassador a "pompous ass." " Captain's log , stardate 8390. We're in the third month of our Vulcan exile, and it was Dr. McCoy with a fine sense of historical irony who decided on a name for our captured Klingon vessel . And like those mutineers of five hundred years ago, we too have a hard choice to make." The crew of the Enterprise On Vulcan, Kirk surveys his crew and they all vote "Aye, sir." Kirk states then to them "Let the record show that the commander and the crew of the late starship Enterprise have voted unanimously to return to Earth , to face the consequences for their actions in the rescue of their comrade, Captain Spock ." Scott tells Kirk that it'll take him one more day to get their Klingon ship, named by McCoy as the HMS Bounty , ready to go saying that while damage control is easy, reading Klingon is hard. McCoy laments that Starfleet could have at least sent a ship to pick them up as it's bad enough to know they will be court-martialed and likely imprisoned but the worst is going home in the "Klingon flea trap." Kirk says the "Klingon flea trap" has a cloaking device which cost a lot. McCoy comments that he wishes they could cloak the stench. Kirk looks up and sees Spock standing at a cliff looking down at them and the ship. Spock then walks off and goes back in a room and res


"In what city did the movie ""Slumdog Millionaire"" take place?"

Oscars: 10 nominations for Slumdog Millionaire | Film | The Guardian Close This article is 7 years old The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the curious movie about a man who ages backwards, headed the Oscar nominations announced today in Los Angeles. Slumdog Millionaire , Danny Boyle's Mumbai-set tale, which took best drama at this month's Golden Globes, continued its own rags-to-riches story with a total of 10 nominations. For another British hopeful, the nominations were a mixed tale: Kate Winslet, heavily tipped to be nominated for both best actress and best supporting actress following her Globes triumph, received just one nod from the academy. Curiously, her best actress nomination was for The Reader, the film for which she won best supporting actress at the Globes. The Reader's British director, Stephen Daldry , received a nomination for best director. Her omission for Revolutionary Road means that Oscar viewers will have to settle for the possibility of just one gushing acceptance speech from the actress. The other leading British contender was Frost/Nixon, which received five nominations including best picture. "It's very good timing for this film," said Working Title's Eric Fellner, the producer of Frost/Nixon, which opens in the UK on Friday. "This will give it the pedigree that will hopefully propel it into another dimension. I'm really proud of this film; I think it's brilliant." Other than Winslet missing out for Revolutionary Road, the morning's big surprise was the omission of Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino. The film had been tipped as a strong contender in the major categories, its themes and star considered a likely favourite among the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures. The Dark Knight also missed out in the major picture categories, although Heath Ledger did receive a nod as best supporting actor for his performance as the Joker. The announcement came a year to the day after the Australian actor's death from an overdose at the age of 28. Nevertheless, The Dark Knight did receive eight nominations, mainly in technical categories. Milk, Gus Van Sant's biopic of the gay rights campaigner Harvey Milk starring Sean Penn , also received eight nominations, including best film, director, actor and supporting actor. "It's just as good as the first time," said Van Sant. "Well, almost as good. It's huge that we were able to get so many nominations for a story that we felt was so important. It's really great for the movie and for the progress of Harvey's efforts as a gay politician." But the early morning announcement was dominated by Button. The film snagged 13 nominations including best film, best director for David Fincher, best actor for Brad Pitt and best supporting actress for Taraji Henderson. Pitt will be accompanied to the ceremony by his wife, Angelina Jolie , who received a best actress nomination for The Changeling. She is joined by awards veteran Meryl Streep, who consolidated her position as the most-nominated actress in Oscar history with another nomination. Other nominees include Anne Hathaway for Rachel Getting Married and Melissa Leo for Frozen River. The best actor category features a quartet of heavy hitters and an outsider. Sean Penn, Frank Langella and Mickey Rourke were all expected to be nominated alongside Pitt, but the inclusion of Richard Jenkins for his performance as a college professor in The Visitor was a surprise. Another surprise was the best supporting actor nomination for Michael Shannon for his standout performance in Revolutionary Road. Winslet and her co-star Leonardo DiCaprio had been tipped for nominations for the Sam Mendes-directed drama, but both missed out. Elsewhere the nominations went to form: WALL-E will be favourite in the animated feature section and Waltz With Bashir will be strongly tipped in the foreign language category. The team behind Slumdog was ecstatic at the news of the film's 10 nominations. "Secretly – and sometimes not so secretly – this is the nomination that floats in every screenwriter's dreams," said writer Simon Beaufoy. "I am fantastically h


"What was the sequel to the 2010 romcom ""Valentine's Day""?"

'Valentine's Day' Sort-Of-Sequel Underway  | Deadline 'Valentine's Day' Sort-Of-Sequel Underway Writers Little wonder Warner Bros’ New Line is in love with the Garry Marshall-directed Valentine’s Day because of its formula of cramming more than a dozen stars into a film and keeping the budget below $50 million. Now I’m told there’s a sort-of-sequel underway. Valentine’s Day scribe Katherine Fugate has turned in a draft of New Year’s Eve, which Toby Emmerich and Richard Brener are reading this weekend, with Warner Bros bosses to follow shortly. I’m told that, during production, New Line execs Sam Brown and Michael Disco started brainstorming with producers Mike Karz, Wayne Allan Rice and Josie Rosen as well as writer Fugate on how to use the ensemble formula again. New Year’s Eve was the logical choice. They agreed the holiday possibilities are endless. (I wouldn’t be surprised if the franchise in the future is focused not just around major ones but even secondary ones like Arbor Day.) Execs will enlist Valentine’s Day director Garry Marshall on the new pic, as well as bring in some VDay characters for continuity. Those actors will segue into the new New York-set relationship ensemble story that uses December 31st and a little after midnight on January 1st as the plotline’s ticking clock. So these days, when most films can barely afford even 2 major stars, how did Valentine’s Day keep down costs for the cast including Julia Roberts, Jessica Alba, Bradley Cooper, Anne Hathaway, Patrick Dempsey, Taylor Lautner, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Queen Latifah and Emma Roberts? I’ve learned most worked for discounted quotes and some back-end because they were able to film their parts quickly and then leave for other projects. All that talent makes for an impressive trailer (the one-sheet is so crowded that only thumbnails of the stars in the shape of a heart was possible), giving the illusion that the stars are in the pic from start to finish. If Valentine’s Day opens the way Dear John did, the studio will be thrilled. And Toby Emmerich will be on a romance roll. The Warner Bros-based shingle gets 7.5% of Dear John’s first-dollar gross receipts, the reward for Emmerich having bought the Nicholas Sparks novel first and then completely packaging the love story (except he hired Miguel Arteta to direct). But his former bosses, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, didn’t like the project as much as he did. That’s when Dear John was snapped up by Ryan Kavanaugh’s  Relativity and distributed by Sony’s Screen Gems.


"What ""physical"" actress starred alongside John Travolta in ""Grease""?"

John Travolta - Biography - IMDb John Travolta Biography Showing all 151 items Jump to: Overview  (3) | Mini Bio  (1) | Spouse  (1) | Trade Mark  (4) | Trivia  (102) | Personal Quotes  (22) | Salary  (18) Overview (3) 6' 2" (1.88 m) Mini Bio (1) John Joseph Travolta was born in Englewood, New Jersey, one of six children of Helen Travolta (née Helen Cecilia Burke) and Salvatore/Samuel J. Travolta. His father was of Italian descent and his mother was of Irish ancestry. His father owned a tire repair shop called Travolta Tires in Hillsdale, NJ. Travolta started acting appearing in a local production of "Who'll Save the Plowboy?". His mother, herself an actress and dancer, enrolled him in a drama school in New York, where he studied voice, dancing and acting. He decided to combine all three of these skills and become a musical comedy performer. At 16 he landed his first professional job in a summer stock production of the musical "Bye Bye Birdie". He quit school at 16 and moved to New York, and worked regularly in summer stock and on television commercials. When work became scarce in New York, he went to Hollywood and appeared in minor roles in several series. A role in the national touring company of the hit 1950s musical "Grease" brought him back to New York. An opening in the New York production of "Grease" gave him his first Broadway role at age 18. After "Grease", he became a member of the company of the Broadway show "Over Here", which starred The Andrews Sisters . After ten months in "Over Here", he decided to try Hollywood once again. Once back in Hollywood, he had little trouble getting roles in numerous television shows. He was seen on The Rookies (1972), Emergency! (1972) and Medical Center (1969) and also made a movie, The Devil's Rain (1975), which was shot in New Mexico. The day he returned to Hollywood from New Mexico, he was called to an audition for a new situation comedy series ABC was planning to produce called Welcome Back, Kotter (1975). He got the part of Vinnie Barbarino and the series went on the air during the 1975 fall season. He starred in a number of monumental films, earning his first Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for his role in the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever (1977), which launched the disco phenomenon in the 1970s. He went on to star in the big-screen version of the long-running musical Grease (1978) and the wildly successful Urban Cowboy (1980), which also influenced trends in popular culture. Additional film credits include the Brian De Palma thrillers Carrie (1976) and Blow Out (1981), as well as Amy Heckerling 's hit comedy Look Who's Talking (1989) and Nora Ephron 's comic hit Michael (1996). Travolta starred in Phenomenon (1996) and took an equally distinctive turn as an action star in John Woo 's top-grossing Broken Arrow (1996). He also starred in the classic Face/Off (1997) opposite Nicolas Cage , and The General's Daughter (1999), co-starring Madeleine Stowe . In 2005, Travolta reprised the role of ultra cool Chili Palmer in the Get Shorty (1995) sequel Be Cool (2005). In addition, he starred opposite Scarlett Johansson in the critically acclaimed independent feature film A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004), which was screened at the Venice Film Festival, where both Travolta and the films won rave reviews. In February 2011, John was honored by Europe's leading weekly program magazine HORZU, with the prestigious Golden Camera Award for "Best Actor International" in Berlin, Germany. Other recent feature film credits include box-office hit-comedy "Wild Hogs," the action-thriller Ladder 49 (2004), the movie version of the successful comic book The Punisher (2004), the drama Basic (2003), the psychological thriller Domestic Disturbance (2001), the hit action picture Swordfish (2001), the infamous sci-fi movie Battlefield Earth (2000), based upon the best-selling novel by L. Ron Hubbard , and Lonely Hearts (2006). Travolta has been honored twice with Academy Award nominations, the latest for his riveting portrayal of a philosophical hit-man in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994


"What Harlem detective is the ""cat who won't cop out when there's danger all about""?"

Shaft: Lawrence Pressman, Christopher St. John, Gwenn Mitchell, Gwenn Mit, Charles Cioffi, Antonio Fargas, Richard Roundtree, Victor Arnold, Moses Gunn, Gordon Parks: Amazon.co.uk: LOVEFiLM By Post Watch Trailer Richard Roundtree cuts a startlingly new and powerful heroic figure as John Shaft, the cat who won't cop out, when there's danger all about in Gordon Parks' seminal action film, Shaft. John Shaft is a black private eye with a small office near Times Square. On his way there one day, he gets pumped for information by Lt. Victor Androzzi (Charles Cioffi), a friend of his on the police force, about something big going down in Harlem involving black crime kingpin Bumpy Jonas (Moses Gunn). Shaft can't help him and leaves, only to just miss being waylaid by two of Bumpy's strong-arm men at his office, one of whom ends up dead on the pavement eight floors or so below. Squeezed by the cops, who are holding a potential manslaughter arrest over his head, Shaft contacts Bumpy, who reveals that his teenage daughter, whom he's always kept away from his business, has been kidnapped. There's been no ransom demand and no clue as to who did it, and he wants Shaft to find the culprits, insisting that he start with a group of Harlem-based black militants led by Shaft's onetime friend Ben Buford (Christopher St. John). No sooner does he find Buford, holed up in a decaying part of Harlem, however, than his friend's comrades are mowed down by submachine gun fire, and Shaft and Buford barely escape. With Shaft angry and out for blood, everyone is forced to come clean -- Bumpy knows that it's the Mafia that kidnapped his daughter, as they want in on the Harlem drug trade that he controls; they're holding her somewhere else outside of Harlem, where his men are no good to him, which is why he wanted Shaft to hook up with Buford. Androzzi tells Shaft that a dozen Mob trigger men from out of town have been spotted in Greenwich Village. He doesn't know why they're there, but he does know that if fighting breaks out between Bumpy's men and the Mafia, it's going to look like a race war, and the whole city could erupt. Shaft doesn't like the way he's been manipulated, but he sees Androzzi's point -- he links the trigger men to the kidnapping and finds the girl, but loses her again, getting shot in the process. Even though he's wounded, Shaft heads for a final confrontation with the kidnappers, supported by Ben's friends in an armed assault on the building where they're holed up.~ Bruce Eder, All Movie Guide Starring:

What comedienne interviewed celebrities on the red carpet before her death in 2014?

Red carpet rolling out for Joan Rivers' funeral: report - NY Daily News Joan Rivers' funeral will get red carpet treatment, report says, as NYC medical examiner continues probe of death Red carpet rolling out for Joan Rivers' funeral: report Melissa Rivers, right, was the only child of Joan Rivers, left. ( ERIC THAYER /REUTERS) The Laugh Factory comedy club in Los Angeles honors the comedian on its marquee. (MARIO ANZUONI/REUTERS) The comedian's family is considering a lawsuit over her death, a source told the Daily News. (Charles Sykes/Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) Joan Rivers was rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital, pictured, after she stopped breathing during a procedure at a clinic. (Richard Harbus/(Richard Harbus/for New York Dai) Yorkville Endoscopy has very high security like the guard standing at right, a patient said Friday, in the wake of Joan Rivers' death. Updated: Saturday, September 6, 2014, 2:32 AM Joan Rivers is getting the red carpet treatment at her funeral. The snarky comedienne’s Sunday sendoff will include a special crimson carpet for guests to walk before paying their final respects to the 81-year-old Rivers, Us Weekly reported Friday. Rivers became famous for her devastating fashion critiques of celebrities strolling the red carpet before Hollywood events, from the Oscars to the Grammys. Fittingly, the carpeting placed outside Temple Emanu—El on the East Side will then be taken up and buried with Rivers, according to the magazine. The Manhattan funeral for Joan Rivers, who reported celebrities' award show fashion hits and misses, will have a red carpet in her honor. (Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Daughter Melissa Rivers spent about 90 minutes inside the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home on Friday working on the final arrangements for Sunday’s farewell. She returned in a black Cadillac Escalade to her E. 62nd St. townhouse around 1 p.m., telling reporters outside, “I’m all right.” The 46-year-old daughter made no comments about the widening probe into the circumstances of her mother’s death, which now includes an autopsy by the city medical examiner.

(Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) While initial autopsy results were inconclusive, additional testing was planned to determine “the cause and manner of death” for Rivers, said Julie Bolcer, spokeswoman for the ME. Rivers was rushed to The Mount Sinai Hospital on Aug. 28 after going into cardiac and respiratory arrest at Yorkville Endoscopy Center on E. 93rd St. A city police detective stopped by the center around 10:20 a.m. Friday, ignoring reporters as he left. The state Health Department is also investigating what happened that morning at Yorkville. Stars remember Joan Rivers Rivers was taken off life support Thursday and died at 1:17 p.m. An autopsy is standard procedure in circumstances like those in Rivers’ death. Sources have told the Daily News that the comedienne’s family was considering a lawsuit in the sudden and shocking death. Melissa Rivers emerged Friday to walk past a dozen bouquets fans left outside her East Side building. “It’s humbling,” the comedienne’s only child told reporters when asked about the cascade of love and praise that followed her mother’s death. Melissa’s 13-year-old son Cooper joined her in the SUV at one point during the day. Among the visitors consoling the bereaved daughter were her mom’s “Fashion Police” cohort Giuliana Rancic and her hubby, Bill. Giuliana Rancic carried a brown shopping bag, and the couple spent about 15 minutes inside before heading off. A grieving Melissa Rivers steps out of the Upper East Side apartment owned by her mother, Joan Rivers, taking notice Friday of the flowers and cards left by fans.

"What was the intellectual faction in the movie ""Divergent""?"

Factions | Divergent Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia — Abnegation Manifesto Abnegation is the faction that values the needs of others above the needs of oneself, their core belief being 'Them before I.' Members of Abnegation take over the public services in the city. Though Abnegation can be selfless, a flaw of theirs is the fact that they are stifling. This is where they get their nickname, Stiffs. The dystopic society of Chicago is ruled by a council of fifty people, composed entirely of representatives from Abnegation, as their faction is the most incorruptible due to their commitment to selflessness. Abnegation's color is grey. Their style of dress is conservative, loose-fitting grey clothing so as not to call attention to themselves. The only accessory they are allowed to wear is a plain watch. Also, as the people of Abnegation prefer not to show skin, exposing clothes are never worn. Known Abnegation Edit "Ignorance is defined not as stupidity but as lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge inevitably leads to lack of understanding. Lack of understanding leads to a disconnect among people with differences. Disconnection among people with differences leads to conflict. Knowledge is the only logical solution to the problem of conflict. Therefore, we propose that in order to eliminate conflict, we must eliminate the disconnect among those with differences by correcting the lack of understanding that arises from ignorance with knowledge. But one of the founders called Edith Prior who is related to Andrew Prior . " — Erudite Manifesto "Bookcases line the walls on either side of me, but they seem to be decorative more than anything, because computers occupy the tables in the center of the room, and no one is reading. The Erudite stare at screens with tense eyes, focused." According to the norms of the faction, it is dictated that a faction member must wear at least one blue article of clothing at a time: blue causes the brain to release calming chemicals which attest to their saying, "a calm mind is a clear mind." It is also noted that Erudites care for eloquent speeches, as well as their search for knowledge. The Erudite, though extremely intelligent, have been known to be vain. Known Erudite Edit "Give freely, trusting that you will be given what you need... Do not be angry. The opinions of others cannot damage you... The wrong is past. You must let it rest where it lies... You must no longer think cruel thoughts. Cruel thoughts lead to cruel words, and hurt you as much as they hurt their target." — Amity Manifesto Members of Amity value peace and harmony above all else. Members of Amity are dressed in red or yellow, though their faction only dictates they wear some amount of the colors. Styles are loose and comfortable. Amity children are seen playing hand clapping games and singing songs. Amity members are happy people, willing to serve, but, unlike Abnegation, do not come face-to-face with those they serve (usually). Despite this, Amity has given Chicago compassionate counselors and caretakers. Known Amity Edit Candor members value honesty above all else. A member of Candor can be recognized from their black and white clothing, a visual representation of the black-and-white they see in truth. Through the years, the Candor faction provided the people with trustworthy and sound leaders in law. They are very truthful, sometimes to the point of being tactless. The Candor initiation does not utilize simulation, but utilizes lie detectors tests and truth serum: initiates are placed in front of all those in the faction and are asked deeply personal questions. They believe that charm is unnecessary and politeness is deception in pretty packaging. According to Christina, Candor acts according to the idea that if the person reveals all his secrets, he has no desire to lie about anything because the worst is already in the open. Although Candor values honesty the most, they also seek to develop impartiality. (The term "Candor" roots from the word "Candid." The word is a Latin word meaning to shine; be white.)

What dystopian movie is named after a country?

Dystopia - TV Tropes Dystopia You need to login to do this. Get Known if you don't have an account Share YMMV "Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded upon love and justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, hatred, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we will destroy—everything." — O'Brien, Nineteen Eighty-Four Dystopia is Ancient Greek for "bad place." The trick to creating a dystopia is to take a sociopolitical issue and deconstruct it or turn it Up to Eleven . Better yet, do it with several issues, or perhaps all of them. A dystopia is a social commentary literally in the background, as is a utopian setting. The two settings share a problem in sometimes being a little too one-note. The author is thinking "capitalism sucks!", for instance, and everything wrong with the world turns out be clearly the fault of nasty Corrupt Corporate Executives and their nasty, greedy megacorporations . Conversely, it could be "governments suck!" and the corporations are the last line of defense against the evil, totalitarian bureaucrats . Whichever, it is just one note. The better dystopias seem to be about how a multitude of things have gone wrong, and now here we are, surviving with as much grace as possible. It is common in literature to create a dystopia through the Deconstruction of an earlier creator's Utopia , showing how horrible it would be to live in that Utopia. Another purpose is to serve as a Big Bad for The Hero and his friends to revolt against; World As Obstacle, as it were. These are more likely to be toppled, or at least escaped from, than others. Some dystopias have its citizens living out dehumanized and often fearful lives, feeling the government's eyes upon them at every waking moment and afraid to step out of line for even a moment lest they be brutalized by the police or worse, taken away by the Secret Police . Other dystopias have the people as happy as any utopian world, but through Government Drug Enforcement , The Evils of Free Will or Happiness in Slavery . Some dystopias are Empires With A Dark Secret , with those who find out about the secret often being Released to Elsewhere . Some are Bread and Circuses worlds where a minority of people are brutally repressed; any number of traits can mark out that minority (such as, say, reading books). And some Dystopias are such only for the law-breakers. One man's Utopia can easily be another man's Dystopia, and so on. The Dystopian world may be obviously a Dystopia and there is no effort made to hide the fact that the world is in fact a Crapsack World . Frequently the heroes are constantly battling just to survive and the Big Bad is an evil dictator. Or it might be set up as Utopia but with fatal flaws. They are the less obvious Dystopias, ones where everyone appears to be happy , but there is just something wrong with it . This is the Brave New World level of Dystopia. Expect curfews and bans on "love" to show up early in; they're a sure-fire cue card for oppression. Occasionally, a Fish out of Water will seem to arrive in a Utopia , only to find that it's really a dystopia for all but the elite. May have Peace & Love, Incorporated and Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul , and frequently have an Ascetic Aesthetic towards buildings. Compare with Author Tract , After the End , Just Before the End , Villain World , and Cyber Punk . Contrast with Utopia and Mary Suetopia , the latter often an unintentional Dystopia created by the author. See Dystopia Is Hard and Artistic License - Economics for one reason why certain Dystopias could not exist in reality (true oppression, especially of the Big Brother variety, is really expensive), an


"Who directed the movie ""American Sniper""?"

'American Sniper' as taut as anything Clint Eastwood has ever directed - CSMonitor.com 'American Sniper' as taut as anything Clint Eastwood has ever directed Latest News Bradley Cooper delivers a commendable performance as Chris Kyle, the most accomplished sniper in US military history, but the movie doesn't plumb Kyle's psychological state as much as it does the acuity of Kyle's marksmanship. By Peter Rainer, Film critic December 24, 2014 'American Sniper' stars Bradley Cooper. Keith Bernstein/Warner Bros. Pictures/AP Monitor Movie Guide Clint Eastwood ’s second film this year, “American Sniper,” about the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle , is considerably better than his first, “The Jersey Boys.” As a piece of direction, it’s as taut as anything he’s ever done. Bradley Cooper, carrying a load of added weight and a Texas accent a mile wide, commendably plays Kyle, the most accomplished sniper in US military history, with over 160 recorded kills through four tours of duty in Iraq . (The screenplay by Jason Hall was undertaken in conjunction with Kyle, who co-authored a bestselling book about his exploits before he was shot to death at a Texas gun range in 2013 by a Marine veteran. The veteran is now awaiting trial and was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.) “American Sniper” shares some of the same faults and virtues as Kathryn Bigelow’s “The Hurt Locker,” which also focused on a soldier hardwired for war. (Although Kyle is a big supporter of the Iraq war, the movie avoids any overt politicizing). As long as Eastwood is showing Kyle in combat, which is a lot of the time, the film has a no-nonsense immediacy. Eastwood can charge these scenes with moral import as well, as in the sequence, early on, when Kyle has to make the decision to take out both a mother and her son as suspected grenade carriers. At his best, Eastwood can show us not only violence but its human consequences. Recommended: The 50 best movies of all time Away from the theater of war, at home with his wife ( Sienna Miller ) and family, Kyle feels unmoored. If the film had plumbed his psychological state with anything like the acuity of his marksmanship, we would have a masterpiece. But Kyle, the regular guy with super-honed killer instincts, remains an enigma. Miller’s role quickly degenerates into weepy-wife terrain, and Kyle’s re-entry into civilian life, where he endures PTSD for a time, is too sketchily drawn – and too easily resolved. Grade: B (Rated R for strong and disturbing war violence, and language throughout including some sexual references.)

What country did the Von Trapp family flee to?

The Real Story of the Von Trapp Family | National Archives The Real Story of the Von Trapp Family Winter 2005, Vol. 37, No. 4 Movie vs. Reality: The Real Story of the von Trapp Family By Joan Gearin Maria von Trapp, photograph from her Declaration of Intention, dated January 21, 1944. (Records of District Courts of the United States, RG 21) I first saw the movie The Sound of Music as a young child, probably in the late 1960s. I liked the singing, and Maria was so pretty and kind! As I grew older, more aware of world history, and saturated by viewing the movie at least once yearly, I was struck and annoyed by the somewhat sanitized story of the von Trapp family it told, as well as the bad 1960s hairdos and costumes. "It's not historically accurate!" I'd protest, a small archivist in the making. In the early 1970s I saw Maria von Trapp herself on Dinah Shore's television show, and boy, was she not like the Julie Andrews version of Maria! She didn't look like Julie, and she came across as a true force of nature. In thinking about the fictionalized movie version of Maria von Trapp as compared to this very real Maria von Trapp, I came to realize that the story of the von Trapp family was probably something closer to human, and therefore much more interesting, than the movie led me to believe. Part of the story of the real von Trapp family can be found in the records of the National Archives. When they fled the Nazi regime in Austria, the von Trapps traveled to America. Their entry into the United States and their subsequent applications for citizenship are documented in the holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration. Maria von Trapp's certificate of arrival into Niagara Falls, NY, on December 30, 1942, authenticated that she arrived legally in the United States. (Records of District Courts of the United States, RG 21) Fact from Fiction While The Sound of Music was generally based on the first section of Maria's book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers (published in 1949), there were many alterations and omissions. Maria came to the von Trapp family in 1926 as a tutor for one of the children, Maria, who was recovering from scarlet fever, not as governess to all the children.   Maria and Georg married in 1927, 11 years before the family left Austria, not right before the Nazi takeover of Austria.   Maria did not marry Georg von Trapp because she was in love with him. As she said in her autobiography Maria, she fell in love with the children at first sight, not their father. When he asked her to marry him, she was not sure if she should abandon her religious calling but was advised by the nuns to do God's will and marry Georg. "I really and truly was not in love. I liked him but didn't love him. However, I loved the children, so in a way I really married the children.  . . . [B]y and by I learned to love him more than I have ever loved before or after."   The family was musically inclined before Maria arrived, but she did teach them to sing madrigals.   Georg, far from being the detached, cold-blooded patriarch of the family who disapproved of music, as portrayed in the first half of The Sound of Music, was actually a gentle, warmhearted parent who enjoyed musical activities with his family. While this change in his character might have made for a better story in emphasizing Maria's healing effect on the von Trapps, it distressed his family greatly.   The family did not secretly escape over the Alps to freedom in Switzerland, carrying their suitcases and musical instruments. As daughter Maria said in a 2003 interview printed in Opera News, "We did tell people that we were going to America to sing. And we did not climb over mountains with all our heavy suitcases and instruments. We left by train, pretending nothing."   The von Trapps traveled to Italy, not Switzerland. Georg was born in Zadar (now in Croatia), which at that time was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Zadar became part of Italy in 1920, and Georg was thus an Italian citizen, and his wife and children as well. The family had a contract with an


Who did Brad Pitt dump for Angelina Jolie?

She’s Not A Believer! Angelina Jolie Orders Brad Pitt To Dump His Longtime Psychic | Radar Online She’s Not A Believer! Angelina Jolie Orders Brad Pitt To Dump His Longtime Psychic Jul 24, 2014 @ 4:19AM It seems that Angelina Jolie is not much of a believer in the supernatural. According to The National ENQUIRER , the actress has ordered fiancé Brad Pitt to dump his longtime psychic , Ron Bard. The actor and father of six , 50, has allegedly taken professional, spiritual and romantic professional advice from the Los Angeles-based guru, 54, for the past ten years. “Ron advised Brad to get divorced from Jennifer Aniston,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “He was very blunt about it, and Brad really listens to Ron.” But now that the star is consulting Bard on financial matters, Jolie, 39, has drawn the line. “It seems like she likes to have some control over Brad’s purse strings, and she doesn’t want a psychic giving ‘financial advice’ to him,” the source explains. “She doesn’t like anybody in Brad’s ear.”

Mothra | Wikizilla | Fandom powered by Wikia Mothra Larva in Mothra Mothra was first discovered on Infant Island , where natives to the island worshiped her as a goddess. Invaders from Rolisica took over the island and stole the Shobijin . The natives went to a temple, where a giant egg was held. The egg hatched into a larva, called Mothra, which swam across the Pacific Ocean and destroyed the Orion Maru as she journeyed north towards Japan to save the Shobijin from the humans. She destroyed Tokyo while trying to find them, then tore down Tokyo Tower  and formed her cocoon. She emerged from the cocoon in her imago form, having been inadvertently helped by the army's Atomic Heat Ray Guns . She went to New Kirk City , and was reunited with the Shobijin at an airport runway after destroying a large portion of the city. Mothra then flew back to Infant Island with the Shobijin to live in peace. Mothra Larvae in Mothra vs. Godzilla Mothra's egg washed up on the shores of Japan when a typhoon carried it away from the shores of Infant Island . Kumayama, the owner of the company Happy Enterprises, bought the egg from the citizens of the area where the egg was found and planned to turn it into the main attraction of his upcoming amusement park The Shobijin came to Japan to request the egg's return, only for Kumayama and his financier Jiro Torahata to try and capture them as well. The Shobijin escaped and met with a group of sympathetic humans, warning that when the egg hatched the larva would cause much destruction and death while searching for food and attempting to return to Infant Island on its own. When the Shobijin's allies met with Kumayama and Torahata, they refused to return the egg and wanted to buy the Shobijin instead. The Shobijin then returned to Infant Island with Mothra. When Godzilla emerged in Japan and began heading for the incubator holding Mothra's egg, the three humans who helped the Shobijin traveled to Infant Island, which had been devastated by nuclear bomb tests. They asked the Shobijin for Mothra's help in defeating Godzilla, but they refused. However, Mothra herself, who was living out the last of her days on a sacred rock, agreed to help and flew to Japan, knowing she would never return. Mothra arrived in Japan just as Godzilla reached Mothra's egg and attacked him. Mothra used the gusts of wind from her wings to knock Godzilla of his feet and tried to slash him with her claws, but she was too feeble to injure him. Mothra released poison powder from her wings against Godzilla, but Godzilla simply blasted her with his atomic breath, causing her to fall on top of her egg and die. While Godzilla continued his rampage across Japan, the Shobijin and the Infant Islanders began to pray for Mothra's egg to hatch. Finally, the egg hatched into two twin larvae. The larvae followed Godzilla to Iwa Island and attacked him there. While the larvae were much smaller and weaker than Godzilla, they used their size to hide behind rocks and sneak up on Godzilla, spraying him with silk. Eventually, Godzilla was trapped in a silken cocoon and fell over a cliff into the ocean below. Victorious, Mothra's larvae and the Shobijin returned to Infant Island. Mothra in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster In the time after Mothra's battle with Godzilla , one of the twin larvae passed away, leaving its sister as the sole goddess of Infant Island . When the evil three-headed space monster King Ghidorah arrived on the Earth , the Japanese government asked the Shobijin to call Mothra to fight him. The Shobijin remarked that the young Mothra had no chance of defeating King Ghidorah on her own, but proposed that if she could recruit the help of Godzilla and Rodan they may have a chance. The Shobijin called Mothra to Japan, where she sought out Godzilla and Rodan, who were battling at Mount Fuji . Mothra used her silk to get the monsters to stop fighting and informed them of the threat posed by King Ghidorah. Godzilla and Rodan stubbornly replied that they had no reason to defend humanity from King Ghidorah, and refused to work together un

"What sculpture appeared at the end of the movie ""Planet of the Apes""?"

Statue Of Liberty Almost Appeared In RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Ending Sci-Fi Headlines Pictures Videos Wallpaper Statue Of Liberty Almost Appeared In RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Ending Film Sketchr has gotten their hands on Rise of the Planets of the Apes concept art that reveals an alternate ending with the Statue of Liberty. Fans of the original Planet of the Apes (1968) will immediately understand its significance. Come check it out.   I know a lot of people say they enjoy happy endings, but many of the films I love have dark or twisted endings. One of the best endings can be found in 1968's Planet of the Apes. Astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston) thinks he landed on a strange planet where apes are the dominant species, not man, but in the end Taylor discovers he isn't on a different planet; he's actually on Earth. This is becomes apparent when Taylor comes across the top portion of the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the beach in the closing minutes. Tim Burton tried to duplicate that twist ending with his Planet of the Apes remake, but it didn't have the same effect. When Rise of the Planets of the Apes came out in 2011 many people expected director Rupert Wyatt to attempt a twist ending of his own, but he chose not to. He did have plans to reference that iconic scene, as shown in the concept art below. The images were created by concept artist Brian Cunningham (via Film Sketchr) . It would've shown Caesar climbing the staircase inside of the Statue of Liberty and looking out from the top of it to witness New York City ablaze.


"In what movie did Will Ferrell say ""We're gonna skate to one song and one song only""?"

Will Ferrell 'Flattered' By Jay-Z/Kanye 'Paris' Cameo - MTV Will Ferrell 'Flattered' By Jay-Z/Kanye 'Paris' Cameo James Montgomery 11/08/2011 It's one of the biggest — and most inexplicable — hits of 2011, a song so popular that its hook was name-checked during player introductions on Sunday Night Football, so massive that Jay-Z and Kanye West have taken to performing it multiple times per set on their [article id="1673399"]Watch the Throne Tour[/article]. We're talking, of course, about "N---as in Paris," the max-impact Throne single that has become a sensation, thanks in no small part to producer [article id="1668529"]Hit-Boy's bouncing beat[/article], West's pop-cult wordplay ("What's that jacket, Margiela?") and, of course, a pair of oddball samples taken from Will Ferrell's 2007 figure-skating comedy "Blades of Glory." As you're probably aware, "Paris" kicks off with Ferrell's grizzled Chazz Michael Michaels defiantly declaring, "We're gonna skate to one song and one song only," then really picks up steam mid-song, when (in a move that could alternately be described as "completely inspired" or "completely insane"), Hit-Boy drops the beat and lets the song roll on a second Ferrell sample: " No one knows what it means, but it's provocative ... it gets the people going!" And, indeed, it has done just that. "Paris" currently sits atop Billboard 's Hip-Hop/R&B Charts, dominates urban radio and has received a thunderous response at Throne shows. And, thanks to Ferrell's contributions, it's certainly one of the oddest mainstream hip-hop tracks in recent history too. And if you're wondering how the whole thing came to be, well, you're not the only one: Turns out, Ferrell's pretty mystified by the track too, as he told MTV News in an email Tuesday (November 8). "Kanye reached out to me and I said, 'Of course,' " Ferrell wrote. "I was completely flattered when they asked if they could sample me into the song ... and when I heard it for the first time, I just started to laugh because it felt so surreal. But I really did like the song." So much so, in fact, that Ferrell said he's hoping to take the Throne collaboration to the next level — "We were trying to film a piece that they would use on the video boards of their concert, but haven't gotten it together," he wrote — and the whole process has opened his eyes to an entirely new career opportunity: Being the go-to sample guy on the hip hop circuit. "I think [something from] 'Step Brothers' would be good [to use in a song]," he wrote. "Or the Woody Allen movie I did, 'Melinda and Melinda.' " Regardless of whether any of those ideas come to fruition, thanks to the "Paris" success, Ferrell can bask in his newfound street cred, which is certainly at an all-time high. And that's saying something for a guy who once starred opposite Andre 3000 . "It makes me feel very good," he wrote. "And completely justified for buying a V-neck sweater made out of nothing but diamonds." Were you surprised by Will's Throne cameo? Let us know in the comments!

What Academy Award winning actor died of a heroin overdose in 2014?

Philip Seymour Hoffman Dead: Actor Dies At 46 In New York Apartment | The Huffington Post Philip Seymour Hoffman Dead: Actor Dies At 46 In New York Apartment 02/02/2014 01:35 pm ET | Updated Feb 03, 2014 12k Kiki Von Glinow Director of Growth & Analytics, The Huffington Post Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment, the Wall Street Journal reported Sunday (Feb. 2). The 46-year-old actor's cause of death has yet to be determined but the New York Police Department is investigating and a law-enforcement official confirmed to WSJ that the Academy Award-winning actor died in his 35 Bethune St., West Village home. The New York Post reports that Hoffman was found dead on his bathroom floor of an apparent drug overdose by a friend at 11:30 a.m. According to the New York Times, the friend visited Hoffman's home after he could not get a hold of the actor and grew concerned. WSJ criminal justice reporter Pervaiz Shallwani tweeted that Hoffman was alone at the time of his death and the man who found him was screenwriter David Katz, with whom Hoffman had recently been working on a project. An official told the NYT that a syringe was found in the actor's arm at the scene, accompanied by what appeared to be an envelope of heroin. “It’s pretty apparent that it was an overdose," the official confirmed. "The syringe was in his arm.” It was reported in May 2013 that Hoffman underwent drug detox treatment for substances including heroin. Hoffman also battled drug abuse in his early twenties and was clean for 23 years before relapsing. "It was all that [drugs and alcohol], yeah, it was anything I could get my hands on ... I liked it all," Hoffman told CBS' "60 Minutes" in a 2006 interview . "I went [to rehab], I got sober when I was 22 years old. You get panicked ... and I got panicked for my life. It really was just that." The acclaimed actor is best known for his outstanding performances in films like "The Master," "Doubt," "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Capote" -- for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2005. Hoffman is set to appear in " The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" due out in November of this year. The film is currently in post-production. Hoffman is survived by his longtime partner Mimi O'Donnell and their three young children. “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," a statement from Hoffman's family reads. "This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving. Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers.” This story is developing ...


In 2010, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director. What movie did she win for?

Oscars 2010: Kathryn Bigelow becomes first woman to win best director as Hurt Locker blasts ex-husband's Avatar with six gongs | Daily Mail Online Oscars 2010: Kathryn Bigelow becomes first woman to win best director as Hurt Locker blasts ex-husband's Avatar with six gongs By BAZ BAMIGBOYE Bad night for James Cameron's $300m Avatar as it wins three low-key awards Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges win Best Actress and Best Actor Brits Helen Mirren, Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan miss out on big prizes Mo'Nique takes gong for Best Supporting Actress in Precious Kathryn Bigelow made history last night after becoming the first woman to win an Academy Award for Best Director - and trounced her ex-husband in the process. Her Iraq war thriller The Hurt Locker scooped six Oscars, including Best Picture, while Avatar, directed by James Cameron, won only three minor gongs. Avatar - the highest grossing film ever having already taken $2billion worldwide at the box office - won only for art direction, cinematography and visual effects. Trophies also went to runaway favourites Sandra Bullock, Best Actress for American football drama The Blind Side and Jeff Bridges, who collected the Best Actor award for his part in the country musical Crazy Heart. Scroll down to watch MailOnline video reports Making history: Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq war drama film The Hurt Locker won six Oscars. She is the first woman to win an Academy Award for best director, seen on stage last night at the 82nd Academy Awards Delighted: Screenwriter Mark Boal (left) and producer Greg Shapiro backstage with five of the six awards the movie raked in As she opened the envelope Barbra Streisand declared: 'It's about time', and then read Kathryn Bigelow's name for best director. Avatar had been widely expected to follow in the footsteps of Cameron's epic, Titanic, which won 11 Oscars in 1998.. As the Best Director award was announced, Cameron patted Bigelow on the back - she was sitting directly in front of him in the auditorium - and broke out into wild applause. She said on receiving the directing award: 'This really is, there’s no way to describe it. It’s the moment of a lifetime.' The director paid tribute to the work of members of the audience she had admired for decades. And praised the screenplay as 'courageous'. No hard feelings: James Cameron reacts to his ex-wife Kathryn's film winning one of six Oscars Applause: Cameron, sat behind his ex-wife, looked pleased as Avatar wins the Oscar for Cinematography Congratulations: But Bigelow beat her former husband hands down, with Cameron seen left jokingly moving his hands towards her neck and, right, the pair embrace She said: 'I would not be standing here if it wasn’t for Mark Boal, who risked his life for the words on the page.' And she dedicated the award to 'the people who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan....may they come home safe.' Backstage she spoke about becoming the first female director to win: 'First of all, I hope I'm the first of many. 'And, of course, I'd love to just think of myself as a filmmaker, and I long for the day when a modifier can be a moot point. 'But I'm ever grateful if I can inspire some young, intrepid, tenacious male or female filmmaker and have them feel that the impossible is possible and never give up on your dream,' Bigelow said. Bigelow was the third of Cameron's five wives between 1989-1991 but the situation between them is very amicable and they have traded pleasantries at every stage of this year's award season. Sandra Bullock collects her award for best actress for the American football drama The Blind Side while Jeff Bridges makes his acceptance speech after being named best actor for musical film Crazy Heart As the victory turned into a procession of awards, Cameron joked as if to strangle his ex-wife before giving her a generous hug. It had become clear when The Hurt Locker, which had a budget of just $11million, clinched Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing  that it was in with a shout of the top prize. The drama about a U.S. bomb disposal unit i

Editorial Reviews Product Description THE IRON LADY is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Two-time Oscar® winner Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. Amazon.com Phyllida Lloyd, who directed Meryl Streep in Mamma Mia!, takes a less exuberant tack in this unexpectedly poignant biopic. In the script, written by Shame's Abi Morgan, Lloyd depicts the elderly Dame Thatcher (Streep in a thoroughly convincing performance) as a frail figure replaying key moments in her life while her mind still continues to function. Her trajectory begins with grocer Alfred Roberts (Downton Abbey's Iain Glen), who became the mayor of Grantham, instilling in his daughter, Margaret (Alexandra Roach), a passion for politics. After graduating from Oxford, she felt ready to enter the fray, at which point she met Denis Thatcher (Harry Lloyd), who cheered her along on the road from Parliament to 10 Downing Street, where they lived during her time as Britain's first f

What is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival?

Don't Miss the Many Categories Recognized at the Cannes Film Festival Prizes Awarded at the Cannes Film Festival written by: Aunindita•edited by: Rhonda Callow •updated: 3/20/2015 If you are looking for traditional prizes awarded at the Cannes Film Festival then you will definitely be disappointed. The prizes given at the film festival are quite distinct. Check out the list of the top 14 awards here. slide 1 of 14 A prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival is a prize like no other. The Cannes Film Festival is considered as of the most prestigious   award festivals among the whole film industry. Started in 1946, this festival is organized every year in Cannes at the Resort town. There are several distinct prizes given out in the Cannes Film Festival. Unlike other prestigious film awards, this private festival has some very unique categories which they base their awards from and this makes them listed among the top film festivals . slide 2 of 14 Palme d’Or   The most coveted prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival is the Palme d’Or or the Golden Palm. This award is the equivalent of the best picture in other film awards and was first awarded in 1955. This high honors is given to the best film in the entire Cannes Film Festival. slide 3 of 14 Grand Prix The Grand Prix prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival is considered to be the second best award of the event and is given to one of the competing feature films. The film is selected by a bench of jury members. slide 4 of 14 Jury Prize The Prix du Jury or the Jury Prize is awarded for the Official Section of the event. The Official Section is organized into several sections as well. It is also considered the main award of the festival. The Competition includes 20 films selected by the jury of the festival that competes for the well-known award Palme d’Or. The Un Certain Regard contains a bunch of films representing different cultures that are considered original. Out of the competition, however, are films shown in the festival that are not part of the main event’s competition. slide 5 of 14 Short Film Award Palme d’Or du Court metrage or Short Film Palme d’Or is the highest prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival for the short films shown during the festival. This is equivalent to the Palme d’Or for short films. If there is more than one short film which should be awarded, the festival presents a jury prize or special mention in this section as well and thus considered the best film festival for respecting talent. slide 6 of 14 Best Actress Award Unlike other award festivals, the Best Actress Award is not presented to a group of actresses that are part of the top movies of the year. The Best Actress Award is a prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival that is given to an actress in a film under the Official Section of the film festival. You can expect to have the award given to actresses that are not widely known to all. Since the Cannes Film Festival focuses more on the quality, storyline, production and the technical side of a film, you can find small film companies from different parts of the world invited. The award was first presented in 1946. slide 7 of 14 Prize Un Certain Regard Prize Un Certain Regard is a prize awarded at the Cannes Film Festival for films in the Un Certain category of the Official Section.

The prize money for this award is 30,000 Euro. slide 8 of 14 Best Actor Award   The best actor award was first awarded to Ray Milland in 1946. The award is presented to best male actor among the films shown in the festival. The French name of the award is Prix d'interprétation masculine. slide 9 of 14 Best Director Award Among the films showcased in the festival, the jury chooses a best director who is presented with the award. The award was first presented in the year 1946. It is also known as Prix de la mise en scène. slide 10 of 14 Best Screenplay Award With the Frenc

With his closely cropped moustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All that changes when a team of thugs raids the mall and takes hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target, Blart has to become a real cop to save the day.
