Which role did Rupert Everett play in The Madness of King George?

The Madness of King George | Film from RadioTimes The Madness of King George Nicholas Hytner (1995) Our Score by Adrian Turner Nigel Hawthorne gives an inspired, funny and deeply moving performance in the title role of this celebrated, Oscar-winning film of Alan Bennett's play The Madness of George III. The king is married to Charlotte (Helen Mirren), dallying with Lady Pembroke (Amanda Donohoe), and is not only father of 15 children (Rupert Everett plays the foppish Prince of Wales) but also of a nation and an empire. Problem is, Farmer George - a nickname the king delights in - is showing signs of madness, or at least that's the official diagnosis. Surgeon Ian Holm is brought in to put the king into a straitjacket (providing some of the film's most disturbing scenes), while the royal quacks examine the royal stool for traces of insanity. Behind the sardonic jokes and colloquialisms that are Bennett's trademark is a serious study of 18th-century politics and the monarchy, with a final scene that hints at the House of Windsor as much as that of Hanover. Immaculately directed by Nicholas Hytner, this is an unmissable treat and the finest vision of a bygone age since Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. It won the Oscar for best art direction and Bennett's screenplay was one of three other nominations. Summary British monarch George III's behaviour becomes increasingly erratic, prompting fears that he is going insane. While physicians try to uncover the cause of his condition, the king's enemies in Parliament and the frustrated Prince of Wales conspire to have him declared insane and removed from the throne. Period drama based on Alan Bennett's play, starring Nigel Hawthorne, Helen Mirren and Rupert Everett. Cast & Crew

Was Stanley Kubrick Killed By The Illuminati? | The Ghost Diaries Was Stanley Kubrick Killed By The Illuminati? Entertainment , Most Read , Unexplained One of the more outlandish conspiracy theories holds that Stanley Kubrick was killed by the Illuminati for revealing too much about the secret society in his final film Eyes Wide Shut. While the official cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest (certainly not shocking for a 70 year-old man), some conspiracists point to the preponderance of Illuminati symbolism in his films, his clean bill of health prior to dying, and the strange editorial takeover of the film before its release as evidence there was more going on here than meets the eye. Believers of this theory, many of whom also believe that Kubrick was enlisted by the US government to produce the faked moon landings, view the prevalence of Illuminati symbols in his films as more than just the result of unconscious archetypes. There is anecdotal evidence that Kubrick himself was a part of the Illuminati, and was using his films as a vehicle for communication with outsiders, as a way to reveal the existence of a globalist synarchy. Indeed, many if not all of his films–including The Shining, 2001, and A Clockwork Orange–are full of Illuminati symbols, most notably the one eye symbol. The ubiquitous one eye symbol and the pyramid shape are often pointed to in popular culture as evidence that the world’s major celebrities are puppets of the Illuminati. But if Kubrick’s body of work is rife with Illuminati symbolism, his final film Eyes Wide Shut is the climax. Not only is this film about a mysterious, perhaps murderous, secret society, it is drenched in allusions to the New World Order cabal. Occult symbols like the pentagram can be found throughout the film, as well as multiple references to rainbows and looking glasses, which are notoriously used to evoke The Wizard of Oz and the cultural brainwashing of MKULTRA and other CIA operations. In another anecdotal connection, the film’s costume store called the Rainbow is actually across the street from a Masonic lodge. The secret society in the film is often compared to the Masons, as they have both been associated with ritualized sex magic orgies in which human blood is sacrificed. This association is also frequently tied to Satanism and pedophilia, both of which are alluded to in the film. There is even a character named after the creator of the Church of Satan, Anton Sandor LaVey; and the Rainbow store owner’s underage daughter is depicted as a prostitute to rich men. Eyes Wide Shut, the phrase itself, is a calling card among secret societies, meaning ‘my eyes are shut to your misdeeds, brother.’ This anonymity is required of the participants, otherwise the society’s moneyed elite would be revealed. For as one character in the film says, “If I told you their names I don’t think you’d sleep so well.” Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising evidence for Kubrick being murdered by the Illuminati is the events surrounding his death. Kubrick had no history of heart disease in his family and was very healthy prior to his passing. More importantly, he died only days after submitting the first cut of the film to Warner Brothers. At this point, the film was commandeered by Warner Brothers and heavily edited. At the time, the editing was attributed to the need to mask out the hardcore sex shots in the orgy sequence. Yet edits to the film regarding sexuality were very minor. It’s hard to believe that so much energy would be invested into editing images that displayed sexual deviance no more lascivious than the vast majority of Hollywood films. Is it possible that this scene and others originally contained images and/or dialogue that illuminated the New World Order in a way that was dangerous to their privacy? Was Kubrick trying to out the secret society, or at least toy with their heads? Regardless, it is worth noting that Stanley Kubrick’s wife has gone on record at least once claiming she doesn’t believe Kubrick died from a heart attack. So perhaps it is no coincidence that Kubrick pas


Who tries to save the world from virtual reality in The Matrix?

The Matrix (1999) - FAQ The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff. Visit our FAQ Help to learn more FAQ How much sex, violence, and profanity are in this movie? For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for The Matrix can be found here . What is "The Matrix" about? The story is set at an indeterminate point in the future, estimated by one character to be the 22nd century, in which human bodies are used for heat and electrical energy while their minds are held in a computer-generated, virtual reality simulation called the Matrix. Humans are essentially slaves in this world. People in the Matrix are subject to the lifelong, full-sensory illusion that they inhabit modern times at the turn of the century. Computer programmer/hacker Thomas "Neo" Anderson ( Keanu Reeves ), who may be "The One," joins a Resistance led by Morpheus ( Laurence Fishburne ) and several other freed humans, including Trinity ( Carrie-Anne Moss ), Apoc ( Julian Arahanga ), Tank ( Marcus Chong ) and his brother Dozer ( Anthony Ray Parker ), Switch ( Belinda McClory ), Cypher ( Joe Pantoliano ), and Mouse ( Matt Doran ). They endeavor to expose the truth, overthrow the Matrix, and defeat the vengeful and warlike Machines behind it. What is "the One"? "The One" is the man prophesied to release the humans from their bondage to the Matrix through his ability to manipulate the Matrix. It was prophesied by the Oracle that his coming would hail the destruction of the Matrix and bring freedom to the human race. Morpheus is convinced that Neo is that man, although others, Neo included, are not so sure. As explained by the Architect in the second movie, ]the "one" is a program anomaly that the Matrix could not account for; an anomaly that occurs because humans have to be given a choice (if the only an illusion of such) in order to accept the virtual world the machines have created for them. Doing so creates the anomaly that is 'The One'. According to the Architect, there were 5 predecessors to the current "One". Once Neo reaches the Architect, he is told of the choice of the One: to choose a certain number of humans to repopulate Zion and start all over again, or to choose to let Zion fall and cause the mutual destruction of both, the machines and the humans. The One is basically a real world reset switch. There are those in the Matrix that will never fully accept the machines' reality, and they will find ways to leave the Matrix for the human city of Zion. Once the free human population of Zion grows too large, it poses a threat to the machines; therefore the "One" is reintroduced to the Matrix to restart the cycle. Once the One meets the Architect, he is given a choice: to return to the source in order to save humanity and rebuild Zion (thus starting a new cycle and bringing balance as prophesied), or to choose to stay in the Matrix, thereby assuring the destruction of both species. Each of the 5 predecessors to the current Neo chose to save humanity. How does Morpheus know everything about Neo's office during the phone call? Morpheus is watching the green raining code screens on the Nebuchadnezzar. The code is the visual representation of the Matrix. He's able to decode what he sees on the screen, giving him a full view of Neo's office building, locations of Agents, the existence of the window washer platform, etc. Think of it like unlimited security camera footage. What is that road that Neo has been down before? A metaphor. This was not referring to any specific physical place, but rather to the act of Neo getting out of the car and not getting the answers he sought. In the past, he probably used to run away from the truth; this is the 'road' that he has been down before, and they know that he does not want to go that way again. What's with the red and blue pill thing? Morph

Fox) introduces rock and roll to the young people of 1955. FILM DESCRIPTION: Contemporary high schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) doesn't have the most pleasant of lives. Browbeaten by his principal at school, Marty must also endure the acrimonious relationship between his nerdy father (Crispin Glover) and his lovely mother (Lea Thompson), who in turn suffer the bullying of middle-aged jerk Biff (Thomas F. Wilson), Marty's dad's supervisor. The one balm in Marty's life is his friendship with eccentric scientist Doc (Christopher Lloyd), who at present is working on a time machine. Accidentally zapped back into the 1950s, Marty inadvertently interferes with the budding romance of his now-teenaged parents. Our hero must now reunite his parents-to-be, lest he cease to exist in the 1980s. It won't be easy, especially with the loutish Biff, now also a teenager, complicating matters. Beyond its dazzling special effects, the best element of Back to the Future is the performance of Michael J. Fox, who finds himself in the quagmire of surviving the white-bread 1950s with a hip 1980s mindset. Back to the Future cemented the box-office bankability of both Fox and the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, who went on to helm two equally exhilarating sequels.

In which 90s movie did Al Pacino play retired Colonel Frank Slade?

Super Reviewer ½ When things get tangled, tango on! Great Film! The Scent of a Woman is the kind of film that many would think belongs to a bygone era. While it is frank and contemporary without sugar coating it illustrates the value of character over glitz and how small acts can have long lasting consequences. The Scent of a Woman is very satisfying on many levels. Of course the primary reason it succeeds is Al Pacino, whose Oscar was well-deserved, needless to say. Chris O'Donnell doesn't overplay his part, and in doing so is realistic and natural. The character development is superb, dialogue terrific, glamorous locations and a story line that requires the characters to show themselves to be the people they really are. The film has a lot of funny lines and great drama.  Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with. Charlie is at school and is looking forward to going to university; to help pay for a trip home for Christmas, he agrees to look after Frank over thanksgiving. Frank's niece says this will be easy money, but she didn't reckon on Frank spending his thanksgiving in New York. Manu Gino Super Reviewer Al Pacino is one of the most respected and talented actors in the history of filmmaking. So why did it take him over 20 years in the business before he finally got his hands on one of those golden little baldies, that go by the name of Oscar? It's a question that will confound many but at least now, with this performance in 1992, it probably, proudly, rests on his mantelpiece. In order to make some money for a Christmas trip home, impoverished college-student Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) agrees to look after Frank (Al Pacino), a blind retired Colonel for Thanksgiving. Babysitting takes on a whole new dimension when Frank decides he wants to spent the weekend living it up in New York City. At the time of this films release Pacino had had 4 nominations for Best Actor and 3 nominations for Best Supporting Actor. He had produced such sterling work in classic films like "The Godfather", "Serpico", "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Scarface". This is only a few in a long list but, finally, no-one could argue with his bravura portrayal of a blind, hard drinking, ex-Army colonel. This isn't the type of film you'd tip for Pacino receiving an award but it's a performance that can't be ignored. Yes, grandstanding does ensue, but hey! It's Pacino, he's allowed. There's an unsettling intensity to his performance that's so powerful, it's hard to take your eyes off him. Ironically, he plays a blind man but his performance allows the audience to see. To see, what an actor can encapsulate. The film itself is a tad lighthearted and despite being overshadowed considerably, a young Chris O'Donnell handles himself well in such company. But it feels like the story itself is only a vehicle, or series of scenes, in which to allow Al to chew up. It's enjoyable stuff nonetheless and at a running time of 2hrs 30mins, you wouldn't know. The time flies by as it's so much fun. A major demerit is the Hollywood perfect, rousing, finale though. The schmaltz factor goes through the roof, leaving you feeling a bit embarrassed at the audacity in even attempting it and it seriously sells the film short. If I was to rate this based on Pacino's performance, it would be an unquestionable 5 stars. It's one of his finest. However, the flimsy material brings the film down a notch. Mark Walker

Which spin-off from a 60s sitcom was a 1999 movie with Jeff Daniels and Christopher Lloyd?

My Favorite Martian – EW.com Comedy, Romance, Sci-fi and Fantasy We gave it a D+ The big innovation is that Uncle Martin (Christopher Lloyd), the quizzical alien with the ’50s TV antennas popping out of his head, has been given an anthropomorphic silver space suit — a dancing, prancing, horny polymer uniform that carries on like Jim Carrey in ”The Mask.” The big drag is that the suit completely outshines Martin. In this glorified special-effects demo reel based on the singularly daft ’60s sitcom (what’s next — ”Petticoat Junction”?), Lloyd, when not spouting hyperkinetic scientific gibberish, makes scoops of ice cream fly around the room, guzzles the contents of a lava lamp, and literally falls apart into head and rascally limbs, as his earthly caretaker (Jeff Daniels) gawks in dismay. ”Flubber” was more edifying — and more fun.

Who played Batman immediately before George Clooney?

The 9 actors who’ve played Batman | Den of Geek Search The 9 actors who’ve played Batman We look at the nine actors who’ve graced Batman's cowl on the big screen, including Mr Ben Affleck… j Holy revolving door, Batman! The Caped Crusader has been portrayed by more actors than any other superhero in movie history – nine to be exact. Most have lasted for just one film, but with the release of The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale became the first man to have played Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego more than twice on the silver screen. He didn’t have much competition – Michael Keaton was the only prior actor to reprise the role. Will Arnett will also join that club when his LEGO Batman movie hits cinemas in 2017. Ben Affleck could well throw all these records out, of course, given the sprawling DC Extended Universe plans now afoot and his vital involvement in them. Here's the nine actor who've played Gotham's Dark Knight... 1. Lewis G Wilson Wilson was the first and youngest actor ever to play the adult Batman, and also the least successful. At 23, the unknown thespian donned the cape and the cowl in the 15-part 1943 Columbia serial Batman. While he looked the part of the dashing playboy, his physique was more Danny DeVito as the Penguin. One critic described Wilson as “thick about the middle.” Maybe that was why he wore his utility belt just below his chest. Critics also complained that his voice was too high and that he had a Boston accent. That, of course, wouldn’t be the last time someone complained about Batman’s voice. After Batman, Wilson’s career went nowhere. Most of his roles went uncredited. His next biggest movie part was probably in the 1951 cult classic Bowanga Bowanga. A few years later he was out of showbiz altogether. His son, Michael G Wilson, however, fared better in Hollywood, becoming the executive producer of the James Bond series. Lewis G Wilson died in 2000. 2. Robert Lowrey Lowery took over the role in the follow-up serial, 1949’s Batman And Robin. Unlike Lewis, Lowery, 36 at the time, was a veteran actor, having already appeared in The Mark Of Zorro (1940), The Mummy's Ghost (1944) and Dangerous Passage (1944). He also filled out the Batsuit better than Lewis, with his utility belt hanging where you would expect it on a non-octogenarian. Though Lowery never played Batman in another movie, he did get to wear the cape once more and make superhero history in the process. In 1956 he guest-starred on an episode of The Adventures Of Superman, marking the first time a Batman actor shared screen time with a Superman actor. (One for the fact fans: the two actors also appeared together in their pre-superhero days, in a WWII anti-VD propaganda film called Sex Hygiene).  After Batman, Lowrey enjoyed another 20 years in movies and TV. He died in 1971. 3. Adam West The man logging the most hours in the Batcave, of course, was William West Anderson, whom you probably know better as Adam West. Either you love him for his goofy charm or hate him for blemishing the Bat’s image for several decades. His campy, over-the-top portrayal of Gotham’s Guardian infiltrated nearly every medium, including a 1966 movie and several animated series. Legend has it producer William Dozier cast West after seeing him play a James Bond-like spy called Captain Q in a Nestlé Quik TV ad. He beat future Wonder Woman co-star Lyle Waggoner for the role. Dozier, who supposedly hated comic books, decided the only way the show would be successful was if they camped it up. So blame him. Things would almost come full circle when, in 1970, West was offered the role of James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever. West declined, later writing in his autobiography that he believed Bond should always be played by a Brit. Holy bad career moves, Batman! After the Batman series went off the air in 1968, West was resigned to typecast hell. At one point he was forced to make public appearances as the Caped Crusader to earn a living. Then, in 1977, he returned to the tube as Batman, doing his voice in The New Adventures Of Batman, and then on such shows as Super Frien


Who played the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel?

Ewan McGregor is still interested in an Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off – EW.com Pinterest ILM/Lucasfilm, Ltd. Speaking at the Edinburgh Film Festival , Ewan McGregor, who played young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, said that he’s definitely be up for another trip to the galaxy far, far away. And he has a very specific idea about how it could come about.  “I’d be happy to do the story from episodes three where I finish up and Alec Guinness starts,” McGregor said, referring to the era between the two trilogies, when Obi-Wan is camped out in the deserts of Tatooine. McGregor has been consistent in this view. We know this because it’s the same movie he’s been pitching since early 2013, when he shared the same idea with MTV .  While McGregor’s idea for a spin-off seems like a good one, Lucasfilm’s slate is looking a little full at the moment. After The Force Awakens in December and Rogue One in 2016, the plan is to finish off the new trilogy in 2017 and 2019, with a Boba Fett spin-off in between and a Han Solo movie likely coming afterward. That could mean we wouldn’t see an Obi-Wan movie until 2021 at the earliest. Maybe that would give McGregor some time to go more gray.  On top of sharing his thoughts on a potential future for Obi-Wan, McGregor also took time to throw some shade Kylo Ren’s way. “I’m not sure about the hilt on the lightsaber,” referring to the weapons wielded by Adam Driver’s character. “If you fight with a lightsaber properly you don’t need one.” Come on, Ewan. Everyone knows that Stephen Colbert put the crossguard debate to bed.


Who played Drew Barrymore's stepmother in Ever After?

'Ever After: A Cinderella Story' Save money with NextCard Visa Sumptuous, satisfying and sweetly subversive, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" is more "Masterpiece Theatre" than "Faerie Tale Theater." There is no magical gourd and no stroke of midnight, but there is a handsome prince, an evil stepmother and, naturally, a pretty girl down on her luck. Only this 16th-century sister quotes freely from Sir Thomas More's "Utopia," can lift the prince straight off the ground and, when it comes to defending herself, has a mean left hook. She's the orphan Danielle and, as played by Drew Barrymore, there is a refreshing robustness rounding out the heroine's alabaster beauty. In this modern retelling of the well-known fable, she is one princess-in-waiting who does not need rescuing by any knight in shining armor. Even as a little girl, the feisty Danielle (Anna Maguire) could whip the boy next door (Ricki Cuttell). But when her father (Jeroen Krabbe) dies, leaving her in the care of his new bride, Rodmilla (a deliciously vicious Anjelica Huston), Danielle's fire is buried under the soot from the hearth she is forced to clean. "Cinder-soot" and "Cinderella," her nasty and demanding stepsister Jacqueline (Melanie Lynskey) soon dubs her. Less snooty but no more helpful is the other stepsibling, namby-pamby Marguerite (Megan Dodds). Enter Prince Charming-excuse me, Prince Henry (Dougray Scott)-the disaffected dreamboat son of King Francis I of France (Timothy West). His Highness Henry is engaged to be married to the daughter of the King of Spain as part of the recent treaty between the two countries, but Daddy senses that Junior isn't too keen on the arranged match and gives him one week to find another bride. At the top of his list, of course, is Danielle, whom Henry only knows as the Countess Nicole. (That's the pseudonym Danielle adopted while impersonating a noblewoman in order to buy back a member of her household out of slavery.) Now all he has to do is find Ms. Right while avoiding the grasping Jacqueline and her social-climbing mother. Sound familiar? Be prepared for a few surprises. One of the wonderful things about "Ever After" is its clever blend of historical accuracy and fantasy. Gone are Disney's talking mice and fairy godmother and in their place is Leonardo da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey) who, in the last few years of his life, actually did hang out in the court of Francis I. He's the one who gets Danielle to the royal ball on time and designs an extravagant costume for her, not with a wave of a wand, but by calling into play his legendary mechanical know-how. To be sure, there are a handful of anachronisms in this tall tale, not least of which is Danielle's strength and independence, practically unheard of in the 16th century. When she herself is sold into slavery to the vile merchant Pierre Le Pieu (Richard O'Brien), it is by her own wiles and swordsmanship that she is able to escape. But such quibbles are negligible, given the fact that this is, after all, a bedtime story, framed by the oral narrative of actress Jeanne Moreau, playing a 19th-century grande dame whose ancestors supposedly knew the "real" Cinderella. One thing is certain. A commoner probably never strolled arm in arm through the woods with the crown prince and it is doubtful that anyone ever asked him, "Why is it men never stop for directions?" But with a romance this fanciful and filled with little delights, a tiny bit of poetic license is more than allowed.         © Copyright 1999 The Washington Post Company


In which 1998 film did Bruce Willis lead a team to confront a deadly threat from outer space?

Nasa funds Armageddon-stylerobots who will protect Earth from asteroids | Daily Mail Online comments You are probably familiar with films such as Armageddon, telling stories of the human race nearly being wiped out by impacts from asteroids. But a project funded by Nasa is developing a way to turn such asteroids from a threat into something useful, namely spaceships that can help defend the planet. The project, named Reconstituting Asteroids into Mechanical Automata (RAMA), aims at working out a way to turn the rocks into basic spacecraft using robots.  A new project, named Reconstituting Asteroids into Mechanical Automata (RAMA), aims to develop a way to turn the rocks into basic spacecraft using robots. It has just been awarded funding from Nasa to work on the first nine months of feasibility tests  The idea is that a set of technically simple robotic processes will be developed that can convert asteroid elements into very basic versions of spacecraft subsystems. RELATED ARTICLES Share 27 shares 'Upon completion, the asteroid will be a programmed mechanical automata carrying out a given mission objective,' said James Dunn, co-founder of Made in Space, the US based space-manufacturing company working on the project. A strike from a mid to large sized asteroid or comet, or near-Earth orbit (NEO) would have catastrophic effects around the world.  THE SEARCH FOR DEADLY NEOS Astronomers around the world use ground-based telescopes, including Nasa's space-based NEOWISE infrared telescope, to track near-Earth objects. Data are sent to a global database, and once NEOs are detected, orbits are monitored by the Center for NEO Studies at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Lab in California. Then, further characterisation is done using Nasa's Infrared Telescope facility, Spitzer Space Telescope, and interplanetary radars. These programs will continue under the new PDCO, and have long been funded by the NEO Observations Program. Each year, roughly 1,500 near-Earth objects (NEOs) are identified, and more than 13,500 have been discovered since the Nasa-funded searches began in 1998.  It's widely thought that a comet strike spurred the extinction of the dinosaurs. Mr Dunn said the missions will include 'relocation to an Earth-Moon libration point for human rendezvous or perhaps to set an Earth-threatening NEO on course to the outer solar system and out of harm's way.' Mr Dunn hopes this project will add to Nasa's ongoing work to keep an eye on NEOs and potentially defend from them. Earlier this year the space agency set up the Washington based Planetary Defense Coordination Office, which will spearhead the ongoing search for asteroids and comets passing near Earth's orbit, and will work with disaster relief agencies to develop emergency response plans. The space agency said there are no known threats to date, but near approaches in the recent past are reminders of the potential hazards. Each year, roughly 1,500 near-Earth objects (NEOs) are identified, and more than 13,500 have been discovered since the Nasa-funded searches began in 1998. Nasa has already identified more than 90 per cent of NEOs larger than 0.62 miles (1km), and has turned its sights on smaller, football field-sized objects. Each year, roughly 1,500 near-Earth objects (NEOs) are identified, and more than 13,500 have been discovered since the Nasa-funded searches began in 1998. RAMA could help turn asteroids into spaceships that could set an Earth-threatening NEO (artist's impression) on course to the outer solar system  In the 1998 film Armageddon, Nasa recruits a team of deep core drillers to save the planet after discovering that an asteroid is going to impact Earth in less than a month. The new project funded by Nasa hopes to take asteroids and turn them into spaceships that could save Earth from collisions The project hopes to fulfill these goals within the next 20 to 30 years, Mr Dunn said.  RAMA is one 13 proposals chosen by Nasa through its Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program which invests in the development of pioneering technologies.

Which tough guy played Mr. Freeze in Batman & Robin?

Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) | Batman Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) Bad (though at the end, he starts becoming good) Affiliation: Hair - Brown (before accident) White then shaved off (after accident) Eyes - Brown (before accident) Ice Blue (after accident) Portrayed by: ―Mr. Freeze [src] Mr. Freeze was the alias of Dr. Victor Fries. After the result of an accident condemning him to live in sub-zero temperatures, he became a cold hearted villain and was determined to find a cure for his wife's illness even if he had to freeze all of Gotham City to do it. Contents Dr. Victor Fries before the accident. History Edit Victor Fries was a two time olympic decathlete and a very well known scientist, having won the Nobel Prize in the field of molecular biology. He was trying to cure his wife Nora (who he was deeply devoted to) from a terminal illness called MacGregor's syndrome that would eventually kill her. Victor placed her in an experimental cryogenic floatation tank of his own invention, hoping to keep her in suspended animation until he could find a cure. He continued his research on the disease while his wife endured her frozen slumber, even managing to cure the disease in its early stages, but still working on the advanced case Nora had contracted. During an experiment, he fell into a vat of his cryo-fluid that was fifty degrees below zero, somehow surviving only to find himself dependent on a special cryosuit that used special diamond enhanced lasers to keep him at zero degrees. He took on the persona of Mr. Freeze. Crime spree Edit Freeze hid out at Snowy Cones Ice Cream Factory and began a life of crime in a continued effort to cure his wife. He began robbing museums of large diamonds, planning to use them to create a large scale freeze gun that he called his "freezing engine" to freeze Gotham, holding it ransom for billions, allowing him to complete his research for her cure. He was pursued by Batman and Robin , but managed to steal a diamond after freezing Robin, and warned Batman that he had eleven minutes to thaw Robin before he would freeze to death. Freeze spared Batman, but threatened to kill the Dark Knight the next time he tries to stop him, and escaped with the diamond. At his hideout Freeze is watching his past before the accident. He is then interrupted by one of his thugs who is holding a newspaper and tells him that he wants to see, but he freezes him, commenting, "I hate when people talk during the movie." Then he tells his wife only one diamond left and notices the newspaper on one his frozen thugs and reads it. At a rainforest costume party that was using a large diamond necklace to help raise money for a charity, Freeze returned and stole it. Mr. Freeze caught by Batman. Batman and Robin followed and captured him, imprisoning Freeze in Arkham Asylum . Stripped of his cryo-suit, Victor could no longer survive outside of his specially designed cell, and was rendered incapable of escaping. While in Arkham, Mr. Freeze carved an ice statue of his wife in order to have some solace, for he missed her deeply and wished he was still with her. Alliance with Poison Ivy Edit Freeze was then broken out of the asylum by Poison Ivy and Bane . Ivy had witnessed Freeze's attack at the party and been impressed at his skills. They returned to Freeze's hideout where Ivy and Bane distracted the Dynamic Duo (who had learned of Freeze's escape) while he retrieved his energy diamonds and weapons telling Ivy to bring his wife back to him. However, Poison Ivy betrayed him by disconnecting the cable to the floatation tank that was keeping Freeze's wife alive. Later at Ivy's Turkish Bath hideout, Freeze had taken refuge there and frozen one of the rooms for his survival. As soon as he saw Ivy, he asked her if she had retrieved his wife. Ivy told him Batman had deactivated Nora and that she was dead. Freeze angrily refused to believe her until she showed him Nora's special snowflake necklace that he had given her as a gift. He was deeply grieved and shed a small tear that suddenly froze an

What was Pierce Brosnan's first outing as 007?

James Bond 007 :: MI6 - The Home Of James Bond 2003 - Everything or Nothing (voice & likeness) "Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely."   Biography Pierce Brendan Brosnan was born into a somewhat broken family on         the 16th of May, 1953. Father, Thomas Brosnan, promptly abandoned         the family after Pierce's birth and as a result, he grew up living         with grandparents while his mother, Mary, trained as a nurse.         Brosnan was born and raised in Navan, Drogheda, a small town         north of Dublin, Ireland before the unfortunate death of both         grandparents and young Brosnan was moved from family-member to         family-member and even into boarding houses. Brosnan recalls his childhood as neglected yet certainly memorable - reflecting later that his chosen profession was perhaps stronger because of it. As a boy, he spent a short spell in a strict and over-zealous Catholic school, whilst staying with a foster parent Eileen Reilly, as well as long hours at his Aunt's pub before, at the age of 11, being retrieved by his mother to live with her in England. Mary (who preferred to be called May) was at         this point about to re-marry and Brosnan's soon-to-be step-father         would take him on regular outings to the cinema. One film that         particularly caught his eye was " Goldfinger ".         Pierce and step-father, William Carmichael, began to develop         a strong relationship and Brosnan began to relish having a stable         father figure in his life. During his childhood in England, Brosnan and family lived in Putney, where he was educated at Elliott School, a modern state school in the area. Here he was landed with the nickname "Irish" - for obvious reasons. Growing tired of the same jibes, Brosnan quickly learned to mimic the accents of the area and soften his Irish accent. During his schooling years, the young Brosnan thrived on English and Arts but elected to drop out of school at the young age of 16. Pierce was already enrolled in an Art School with the hopes of becoming a commercial artist and attending local drama classes at night. Brosnan was first accepted into an acting troupe when he applied to join the Kennington Oval House Theatre Club (on advise from a friend) where he volunteered as an Assistant Stage Manager in 1973. In order to persue a carreer in the theatre, Brosnan took any job going, from cleaning hotel rooms to waiting tables. Three years later, Brosnan would graduate from art school and join the York Theatre Royal, where he stage managed several successful productions before appearing on stage in his first performing role - "Wait Until Dark".   During a run at the York based theatre, Brosnan was witnessed by highly-regarded playwright, Tennessee Williams who commissioned Pierce Brosnan to appear in his newest production - giving Brosnan an amazing boost in popularity. He performed the part of McCabe in "The Red Devil Battery Sign" which received an amazing response from audience and reviewers. By the end of the production, Williams issued a telegram to Brosnan, which read simply "Thank God for you, my dear boy" - a prized possession of Brosnan's today. After the success of "The Red Devil Batter Sign", Brosnan was invited to perform in London's Lyric Theatre where he'd play opposite Joan Plowright in a production of "Filumena". This production earned Brosnan further kudos and the Franco Zeffirelli directed production ran for 18 months solid. "I had good luck and a bit of talent somewhere in the back pocket that I could kind of polish and nurture, but I dreamt and wished for all of this, then you get all of that and you've just got to show up and work." In 1979, Brosnan began dabbling in television, including successful searies' such as "The Professionals" and "Murphy's Stroke". By 1980 he had made his first feature film, "The Long Good Friday". The s


Which The Bridges of Madison County star became a father again aged 65?

Amazon.com: The Bridges of Madison County: Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Jim Haynie, Annie Corley: Amazon  Digital Services LLC By The Best Reviewer on Amazon! on February 10, 2016 Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase This review is more about the special features that came with the bluray rather than the movie itself. The movie is a cult classic - as it should be - because it's a beautifully shot film. I think this may have been my first full length feature film with Clint Eastwood. I did not grow up with Mr. Eastwood but was very well acquainted with his cowboy, tough guy image. I was very disappointed that there wasn't a director commentary track with this movie, but I think Eastwood actually does NOT do those on ANY of his movies (not any of that I own at least). There is a nice featurette that I enjoyed thoroughly but it's still not enough. There is a commentary track with the editor and someone else and I was bored to DEATH of their commentaries. So disappointing. But the film looks beautiful in letterbox though I'm not sure it's really HD quality. Such a beautifully shot film.


Who was the star of the dark thriller 8mm?

8MM Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 163 out of 185 people found the following review useful: A dark, graphic view into the underworld of pornography from London 29 October 2004 Firstly, this film is hugely under-rated. For those reviewers who call this film a "waste of time" or place it in the "hall of shame", maybe they should go back to watching more obvious and simple films. 8mm focuses on "snuff" movies and follows Nicholas Cage as he ventures into the dark underworld of the pornographic industry. I'm not a great fan of Nicholas Cage (I still wonder how he ever made it as a movie star), but in 8mm felt he redeemed himself from past performances. Other actors in the film put on great performances, notably Joaquin Pheonix, and James Gandolfini (of Sopranos). What makes the film worth watching though is the emotion, dark imagery and tense moments throughout the film. The storyline too is very well thought out although does have a few holes and untouched areas that may have helped develop the film further. There is no Hollywood ending, forced propaganda, or marketing. What you do get is graphic scenes, moderate violence, and an insight into "snuff" movies (which really is quite disturbing). Having said that this movie is not for the faint hearted, so if you're a "puppy-dogs and ice-cream" kind of person I'd suggest watching something else. If however, you feel you will be able to stomach such a film then prepare yourself for a moving film, which will leave you feeling that little bit darker at the end. I highly recommend this film. 8/10 Was the above review useful to you? 172 out of 207 people found the following review useful: Well made, but disturbing. Watch with care. from Helsinki 27 February 1999 I walked into the movie theater last Friday not expecting at all what I was about to see. I'd heard about it, thought "Oh, another Seven". Same screenwriter, but I was way off track. I can stomach a lot, having no problem stuffing down popcorn during very graphic scenes. In 8MM, my coke had trouble going down. 8MM did not have consistent gory/violent scenes, but the way the movie was made made you fill in the blanks of what the makers of the movie could not screen. And if you pay attention and immerse yourself, you fill in more blanks than you really think you could, or want. As Max put it: "the devil changes you." The perversity and deep rottenness of the human minds displayed in 8MM is what disturbs you. Then you realize, that "snuff"-movies are real, that there are individuals twisted enough to endorse/enjoy/take part in it. And worst of all, that these individuals don't look like monsters, they're perhaps just overweight nearsighted men who look like your dad, your son, your brother, even yourself. And if you don't look out,(no matter how secluded you think you are in your suburban home, with a wife, a daughter, and a dog named Shep) you dive into the pit of perversion and rottenness as well, finding no way out. In conclusion: excellent music, acting very sufficient, the plot: a must see. Just don't bring popcorn, and prepare to walk out of the movie theatre disturbed, asking questions, and a little bit more suspicious of those walking around you, and yourself.

Starting by looking through endless missing persons files (in an attempt to identify the victim), Cage ultimately follows leads to the world of underground seaze films and the people who are involved in making them. Throughout his creepy investigation, Cage becomes more and more disturbed by the Snuff film and stops at nothing in an attempt to track down answers to what really happened. This film is So intriguing and suspenseful, there are scenes that wil

See more » Connections Courtesy of Atlantic Recording Corp. by arrangement with Warner Special Products (morristown, TN) – See all my reviews Great Expectations is one of the few films that can incorporate stunning visuals, one of the best soundtracks to ever grace a film and simply characters that you truly care about by the end of the film. It's true that the character development on the character of Finn is a little weak, but the characters of Estella and the over flamboyant and heartbroken Miss Dinnsmore certainly make up for Finn's minor flaws. Personally i found the film very enjoyable and immersive, and the incredibly imaginative cinematography will certainly keep anyone's attention as well. This film is a stylish and brilliant remake of a classic and could almost be considered timeless compared to other recent attempts at "updating" the classics which fail in comparison(such as the recent failed attempt at romeo and juliet). Great Expectations is certainly worth a rental (or even purchase) for anyone that enjoys simply a good, immersive movie with some absolutely beautiful imagery. 38 of 52 people found this review helpful.  Was this review helpful to you?
