My Planity Star Trek | Official Movie Site | Own it today on Blu-Ray and DVD | Star Trek Movie HumphreyBogart.com Daniel Bosch: High by Daniel Bosch Against a black background, part of the face of a fair-skinned woman. The tone and texture of her skin. The curve of her lips. Especially the black of her eyes — as if we could look through her. Such a world can hold Hitchcock’s attention for only so long. A horizontal bar halves the screen. We look up, we look down — but the bar is all we can visually grab hold of. Then the hand — but hold on — there’s another. They are too close together for fast climbing. But hold on. But hold on: even the pursuer is pursued. A broad patterning of “normal” institutionalized relations has been established — but only to be tested. Shots are fired: “one! Scottie hangs from a gutter. Strangely enough, it is the detective that will survive this encounter. “Give me your hand!” Except for us, on the other side of the bar. For Edward Snow.

Art of the Title Sequence At the sidebar of this blog you can find a list of other blogs and sites that I think are worth paying a visit. I’ve added a few new ones recently. “The Art of the Title Sequence” is one of them. It’s a great site that focuses, and this will be no surprise to you, I guess, on the design of title sequences for movies and occasionally television programs. There’s already an extensive list of older and more recent movies, animation films, television shows and so on and that list keeps on growing as they add new posts. “The Art of the Title Sequence” is a great place to visit. One of my all time favorites is this one. 5000 films tombés dans le domaine public à télécharger gratuitement Dès qu’une œuvre tombe dans le domaine public, elle peut être « uploadée » sur le site archive.org.

Cinema Treasures | Flicks 1 & 2 Cinemas The Century Cinema opened on 25th July 1936 with the film “When Knights Were Bold” starring Jack Buchanan and Fay Wray. It was designed in a splendid Art Deco style by local Clacton architect G.H.B. Gould and had seating for 1,743 (1,428 in the stalls and 486 in the circle). There was a cafe/ballroom located on the mezannine floor level above the entrance. There were full stage facilities and six dressing rooms provided and for the first few months of operation it had a cine/variety policy. The Century Cinema was taken over by the Essoldo chain in 1946 and re-named Essoldo. Classic Cinemas took control in 1967 and the building was twinned with a Bingo club operating downstairs in the former stalls area and a cinema converted out of the former circle upstairs that had been extended forward to provide 600 seats which became Classic 1. In August 2005 both screens were re-furbished with new seating, carpets and decoration and newer projection facilities were installed. Contributed by KenRoe
High Quality Movie Scans Alfred Hitchcock's unseen Holocaust documentary to be screened - Features - Films In 1945, Hitchcock had been enlisted by his friend and patron Sidney Bernstein to help with a documentary on German wartime atrocities, based on the footage of the camps shot by British and Soviet film units. In the event, that documentary was never seen. "It was suppressed because of the changing political situation, particularly for the British," suggests Dr Toby Haggith, Senior Curator at the Department of Research, Imperial War Museum. "Once they discovered the camps, the Americans and British were keen to release a film very quickly that would show the camps and get the German people to accept their responsibility for the atrocities that were there." The film took far longer to make than had originally been envisaged. Five of the film's six reels were eventually deposited in the Imperial War Museum and the project was quietly forgotten. In the 1980s, the footage was discovered in a rusty can in the museum by an American researcher. The restoration is now almost complete.
The Hitchcock & Truffaut Tapes Woohoo! It’s gonna be a good day, today! First thing I stumbled on whilst drinking my morning coffee are these audio recordings from 1962 in which the French director François Truffaut carries out a series of extensive interviews with his colleague Alfred Hitchcock. This is an exceptional document in which two of the greatest minds in 20th century film meet. The Hitchcock Truffaut Tapes by filmdetail
