Film Title
Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce
Jack Carson as Wally Fay
Zachary Scott as Monte Beragon
Ann Blyth as Veda Pierce
Eve Arden as Ida Corwin
Bruce Bennett as Bert Pierce
This film will always be remembered as the film that helped relaunch Joan Crawford's stalling career, but there is more to this film that at first meets the eye. It is one of the quintessential women's pictures of the 1940's that effortlessly blends moments of film noir to heighten its dramatic tale of a mothers self-sacrificing journey to provide for her spoiled daughter. Strikingly photographed, superbly acted and featuring an evocative and intensely dramatic score by Max Steiner, Mildred Pierce is an emotional soap opera that never falls into sentimentality but keeps you glued to the screen as you watch the great Joan Crawford in her excellent comeback role that earned her a Best Actress Oscar.
Mildred Pierce begins with a literal bang, in a classic noir influenced moment. Gun shots ring out as a man clutches his bleeding chest and falls to the floor. Before he dies he breathlessly utters one word "Mildred". The scene then switches to show the eponymous Mildred, clad in a stunning mink coat and walking a pier, tears beginning to stream down her face. This scene is outstanding as we don't know whether Mildred has killed the man or not? The audience is unsure of her character at this point as she appears to be the epitome of the femme fatale commonly featured in film noir. We are unsure whether to sympathise with her or loathe her. As the story continues and she is taken into questioning by the police, she begins to narrate her story in flashback up until this point. This is where the film switches gear and examines the dramatic existence of Mildred and how she has changed considerably. She tells of how she slaved away as a waitress before opening a successful chain of restaurants, her sheer determined personality aiding her. Along the way she met rich playboy Monte, who fell for her but used her when he had money trouble. All of the events leading up to Monte's opening death are influenced by the conniving Veda whose insatiable need for the expensive things drives the story of her determined mother Mildred.
Among the things that drew me to the film was its combination of melodrama with noir, I think this makes for an interesting combination. The performances also drew me in particularly the ones portrayed by Crawford and Blyth. As the determined Mildred, Crawford is outstanding as she embodies this hard-working character who will do anything for her daughter and runs the whole gamut of emotions throughout the movie.Her character is made very believable because of Crawford's connection with her, many critics have said that Crawford was outstanding in a role when she related to it. I agree with this, but whatever the case Crawford delivers a memorable performance that proved to Hollywood that she was a force to be reckoned with. Equally impressive is the young Ann Blyth as the sneering, materialistic and spoilt Veda Pierce. The whole plot is influenced by her expensive needs and desires as Mildred does everything in her power to provide for her. Blyth makes an impressive mark as Veda, imbuing her with an arrogant and snobbish quality that is a clear difference from her self-sacrificing mother. Crawford and Blyth have a natural chemistry that makes their relationship interesting, especially in the moments when Mildred realises how spoilt and down right nasty her daughter really is.
Many would think that with all this highly charged drama there would be no let up. This isn't the case as there are two characters that lighten up the proceedings. The first is Wally, a man who used to be in business with Mildred's first husband who als o has a soft spot for the eponymous Mildred. He has the most laughs in the film as her romantically chases her. Jack Carson clearly has a laugh as Wally and his numerous unsuccessful attempts to woo Mildred. The other character is Ida Corwin, the wise cracking friend of Mildred who helped her when she was staring out. Her scenes with customers and lawyers in the restaurant are particularly funny as her dry sense of humour is often mistaken by others. Eve Arden creates a wise-cracking and charming chum that runs parallel with the determined and driven character of Mildred.
Mildred Pierce can be viewed today as a melodrama that is very believable but also a story of a mother's love and determination no matter what the cost. Even if old movies aren't your thing, Mildred Pierce may change your mind with its stellar cast and outstanding production values.
1980's, Dangerous Liaisons, Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Keanu Reeves, Michelle Pfeiffer, Period Drama, Romance, Stephen Frears, Uma Thurman
Glenn Close as Marquise de Merteuil
John Malkovich as Vicomte de Valmont
Michelle Pfeiffer as Madame de Tourvel
Swoosie Kurtz as Madame de Volanges
Keanu Reeves as Le Chevalier Raphael Dancerny
Mildred Natwick as Madame de Rosemonde
Uma Thurman as Cecile de Volanges
A lavish and enthralling look at lust, betrayal and revenge, Dangerous Liaisons is brought to the screen with an acerbic wit and a dramatic power by director Stephen Frears and an outstanding screenplay by Christopher Hampton. The film succeeds in that it is splendid and breathtaking to look at, but at the same time compelling because of its decadent ,dramatic story and excellent central performances that dominate the proceedings.
The central plot revolves around Marquise de Mertueil, an aristocratic woman in 18th Century France. To the rest of society she is an intelligent and kind woman, but beneath the mask that she wears so well for the outside world is a cunning, vicious woma n who delights in the suffering of others for her own personal enjoyment. Her conspirator is the seductive and cynical Viscomte de Valmont who revels in the plans she concocts up. Their latest scheme involves the ruining of an innocent and virginal young girl named Cecile who is soon to be married to one of the Marquise's former lovers. If Valmont succeeds in this plan, the Marquise will offer him a personal reward. Valmont has other ideas as he has set himself the more difficult task of seducing the virtuous, convent-bred Madame de Tourvel. Things don't go to plan however when Valmont unintentionally falls for the unsuspecting Madame.
Despit e the film being a period piece, its classic themes of power and love still resonate in the present day. The theme of differences between men and women in society and in general is carefully examined with an acute and critical eye. A strangely sinister tone lingers over the film as a result of the deceit and mendacity displayed on screen.The costumes and sets are second to none and create a clear and beautiful evocation of pre-revolution France. Frears takes the audience on an enthralling trip through the various hypocrisies of the upper-class and exposing the evil and deceit beneath the facade.But above all, it is the script and acting that lingers longest in the memory after the credits have finished.
As the Marquise, Glenn Close is delightfully conniving and poisonous. The chemistry between her and Malkovich is electrifying as well as the numerous quick-witted remarks that fly between them. Malkovich brings a slimy and reptilian quality to the suave Valmont and has one of the most sinister smiles on the screen. But in my opinion, the real standout in the film is Michelle Pfeiffer as the victim in the twisted game and embodiment of grace and purity. Playing a character that could have been uninteresting, Pfeiffer turns this round to create a poignant portrayal of a virtuous and god-fearing woman who's calm and peaceful resolve is shattered forever with the arrival of Valmont into her life. Her face is used for so many important moments in the film and in each she has an emotional intensity that grips like a powerful vice. Throughout the film each character changes somewhat, but the greatest change is Pfeiffer as Madame De Tourvel who has the biggest challenge of whether to stick to her morals or throw caution to the wind. In an early role, a young Uma Thurman portrays the virginal Cecile, another unwitting pawn in the deceitful game who is ruined by Valmont but becomes very carnal as a result of it. Keanu Reeves appears as another pawn in the deceptive game.
The best scenes in the movie are the ones in which Merteuil and Valmont devise their deliciously,devious plans. The brittle and caustic dialogue seems to just come natural to each as they carefully decide what pain they will inflict on their chosen victim. The two make for a memorably villainous double act who see life as an arena in which their manipulative psychological games are the main entertainment.
A period piece with a surprisingly contemporary and sexy edge to it, Dangerous Liaisons is a splendor for the eyes in terms of visual design, but a handsomely mounted drama and love story that makes you think.

Synopsis: A band of desperate chickens trapped in a prison-like farm, seek the help of a cocky American rooster in order to escape from being made into chicken pies by their sadistic owner and her oafish husband.
A glorious stop-motion send-up to Prisoner of War movies such as "The Great Escape", Chicken Run possesses something for every one of every age to enjoy. It has the comedy to engage young children but a serious, emotional side that adults can equally relate to. There is humour, pathos and thrilling action sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The stop-motion is just fantastic to look at.
The main aspect I liked about this film was the array of different characters. The film establishes the five man band rule commonly featured in Prison Dramas;
There is the main focal point and hero Ginger
The perfect foil to the hero Rocky
The big guy and local cynic Bunty
The ditzy chick of the bunch Babs
The smart one in the form of Scottish Mac
The old school Fowler, who always speaks of his RAF days, acts as a mentor to the other chickens as he introduces discipline to them and eventually comes up with the main method of escape.
This reminded me of how humans are usually in one way or another put into groups such as this with each individual having a unique or special quality. I also think that the various nods to POW films are funny and inventive, this is clearly shown in the opening scene in which Ginger and the others attempt another escape at night, only to be thwarted by Tweedy and her two evil dogs. The scene is a clear homage (and spoof) of "The Great Escape".
Poultry Prison
Whilst the humour is hysterical throughout the film, there are equally emotional and sad moments as well. The many escape attempts of the chickens make the audience feel sympathy for them. One of the most memorable scenes occurs near the beginning of the film; the chickens have all lined up as the evil Mrs. Tweedy comes to inspect their egg count. The scene is reminiscent of POW films in the set-up of the chickens behind a chain-link fence and being under the rule of another power. The scene is deliberately filmed from low-angle shots to give the sense that Mrs. Tweedy is the one in control and the chickens are cowering beneath her. As she continues to menacingly patrol up and down the lines, she notices on her records a shortage of eggs from a certain chicken named Edwina. The terrified Edwina is then taken away to what all of the chickens refer to as "The Chop", in other words where they are to be killed. Ginger leaves the line and climbs to the roof of one of the pens. Although we don't actually see Edwina being killed (we just see the shadow of Tweedy raising the axe), it's the sad reaction of the other chickens as the thud of the axe comes down that leaves a lump in the throat and a tear in the eye. The scene is further saddened as an upset Ginger watches a flock of birds fly over the fence, symbolizing her desire to escape from the farm and live in freedom.
Rocky the Rhode Island Red
Despite this, or maybe because of it, Ginger tries to boost morale with another escape attempt, to which the others are not so sure. This leads the way for the arrival of Rocky, a rooster who, unbeknownst to the rest of the chickens, can't fly but has been blasted from a cannon as part of a circus act. He promises to teach them how to fly but later has a crisis of judgment with himself. Rocky makes for an interesting character as shown by his brittle arguments with his polar opposite Ginger. He is the perfect foil to the character of Ginger. They are like chalk and cheese in terms of personality.
Tweedy's evil plan
One of the most exciting sequences comes after the arrival of the pie machine. Before this, the selfish and heartless Mrs. Tweedy has grown tired of collecting eggs and seeks a new way of making money for herself. With the machine built, Tweedy wants to test it out and takes Ginger to be the first victim. The reaction of the other chickens as they panic intensely lightens the mood before the action begins. Rocky then decides to rescue her and he silently enters the farm. Ginger is strapped to restraints as the machine starts and edges her closer towards the dropping chute. The music that underscores this scene adds an adventurous and action-packed feeling. Rocky then finds himself searching for Ginger whilst trying to avoid the various instruments of death such as the roller to flatten the pastry. To slow the machine down, Rocky sticks a carrot into the gravy producer causing the pressure to rise. After finding themselves in the oven, Rocky falls into the pies whilst Ginger manages to find the exit. To stop the exit from closing Ginger uses a spanner to wedge it open; she then goes back and manages to save Rocky just in the nick of time. After escaping from the machine they find a poster of Mrs. Tweedy's chicken pies and decide to show the other chickens what she is up to.
Rocky becomes a hero
The scene changes how Ginger sees Rocky as a character. Before this she sees him as being arrogant, but after saving her she starts to see him as a hero and takes a shine to him. This is also when Rocky begins to feel like a fraud and starts to feel for the other chickens. This is especially evident after Fowler, who originally looked at Rocky with a disdainful eye, gives him a medal of honour for his rescue of Ginger. After this, Rocky decides to run away, this is a move that upsets the chickens, as they all believed he was the answer to their prayers. Fowler non-intentionally gives them an escape idea of building a crate to fly out of the farm. They work against the clock to build it whilst Mr. Tweedy attempts to repair the machine for his merciless wife. In this quest, they are aided by two sticky-fingered rats known appropriately as Nick and Fetcher, who provide some great comic scenes. As they attempt to fly away, Tweedy tries to thwart the plan but Rocky heroically returns and aids them. By doing this, Rocky has gone from being the anti-hero to the hero. A nail-biting climax follows as a demented and evil Tweedy again tries to cut off the escape plan in psychopathic fashion.
If you are looking for a film that has laughs, sadness and glorious effects then "Chicken Run" is the film I would advice you watch. This film will seriously make you reconsider eating chicken pie ever again.
1950's, All About Eve, Anne Baxter, Bette Davis, Celeste Holm, Drama, George Sanders, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Thelma Ritter
Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Bette Davis as Margo Channing
Anne Baxter as Eve Harrington
George Sanders as Addison DeWitt
Celeste Holm as Karen Richards
Gary Merrill as Bill Sampson
Hugh Marlowe as Lloyd Richards
Thelma Ritter as Birdie Coonan
Synopsis: A young, scheming and manipulative ingenue insidiously worms her way into her theatre idol's social circle, armed with a cunning plan to replace her and take her acting crown from her.
All About Eve is the ultimate backstage drama, brimming with acerbic wit and as many quotable lines as that great playwright Shakespeare. Starring the legendary Bette Davis in a role that fits her just like a glove, All about Eve is one of the most critical, wittiest and darkest insights into the word of show business and the ways in which you can become famous in an underhand way.
Flashbacks of a fake
The film begins with a scene of the theatre awards. As the camera pans around the room, the theatre critic Addison DeWitt delivers a knowing voice over that explains something about each of the principal characters that will appear in the film. This also gives an insight into his own character as he has a suave and slightly haughty voice. When his voice over finishes, an award is presented to the eponymous Eve. As she accepts the award with an innocent and girlish bow, the film freezes and everyone else's reaction to her acceptance is shown, mostly with a hint of disdain. The film then goes to a flashback to explain how the see mingly innocent and graceful Eve managed to accomplish this high and extremely prestigious honour. This is one of my favourite scenes in the movie, as I like how the story starts at the end and then goes back to the beginning to explain what is happening in the present. The way in which the camera moves about the room as Addison gives his blunt view on each of the important characters is amazing. The audience sees what Addison wants us to see and they see the characters from his viewpoint, as we don't know anything about them except what Addison is telling us.
Margo's monologue
But one of the best and most memorable moments in the film comes when after her car breaks down and she can't make it to the theatre to perform, Margo opens up to Karen about herself and how insecure and full of doubt she is. I find this moment very reflective, as the character of Margo comes across as she does on the stage, perfect and outstanding. Although she can be bitchy and defensive, beneath this façade she has the same troubles as everyone else. Her monologue is amazing in its honesty and shows her vulnerable side that she has hidden away from others to survive in the theatre industry. Her whole life is the theatre and she knows that she isn't going to be young forever, so this adds to the melancholy tone of her monologue. The last lines of her self-reflective monologue are especially revelatory of how much the theatre means to her, "Slow Curtain . The end". This is clearly referencing the end of traditional plays or motion pictures.
Backstage bickering
One of the main aspects of the film that makes it so memorable is its caustic and witty screenplay. I especially love the part in which at a party Margo, who is starting to grow suspicious of Eve, delivers the now famous lines to her guests "Fasten your seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy night". This kind of cynical wordplay is heard throughout the film; it also helps make a satire out of the various unjust ways of becoming a star. The biting bitchery and numerous barbed exchanges between the characters in the film are just fantastic to watch.
Identity theft- theatrical style
The theme of identity is apparent in many ways throughout the movie. Eve makes numerous attempts to take Margo's place as the queen of the theatre. She is her obsessive number one fan who will stop at nothing to become a star. She is basically trying to take Margo's theatrical crown. Eve will stop at nothing to become a star and she knows exactly how to get it.
The deceptive identity of Eve
Also, the ways in which Margo's friends perceive Eve. She is deceitful and ruthless but comes across as an adoring and naive young woman. There are only two people who see through Eve's lies at the beginning of the film, Addison and Birdie. Later on in the movie, the others begin to see the real Eve behind the mask of innocence and how she has used them for her own personal gain.
The performances are uniformly excellent, especially those of Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. I find it interesting that one character is eventually getting older and her career is fading while the other is very youthful and her career is just about to begin. The eponymous Eve appears to have had a hard life and be a sweet and naive girl but her real motives are to become a big star no matter what the cost. Baxter brings a girlish charm to the conniving and cunning character of Eve, a trait that helps her character infiltrate her idol's social posse with a charming and shy disposition. Thelma Ritter lights up the supporting cast and provides the cynical humour as Margo's assistant, Birdie. Her clipped reply to Eve's sob story when she meets Margo "What a story! Everything but the bloodhounds snapping at her rear end" provides a knowing quality to her, as she is the first to see through the young fan's deception. Celeste Holm is glowing as the woman taken in by Eve, but ultimately used by her without her noticing.
Out of the few men in the film, George Sanders as the poisonous critic Addison stands out. He is pitch perfect as the caddish and dishonest critic who also sees through Eve's sly deception but helps her ultimately become a star.
Even if you don't like old movies, one cannot resist the charm and brutal wit in All About Eve. If you want to watch a film with fantastic dialogue and equally outstanding performances, All About Eve is definitely the film for you. Movie trivia buffs should look out for a cameo featuring Marilyn Monroe in one of her first movie roles.
Judgment at Nuremberg
1960's, Burt Lancaster, Courtroom Drama, Judgment at Nuremberg, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Maximilian Schell, Montgomery Clift, Nuremberg, Nuremberg Trials, Richard Widmark, Spencer Tracy, Stanley Kramer
Spencer Tracy as Judge Dan Haywood
Burt Lancaster as Ernst Janning
Richard Widmark as Colonel Tad Lawson
Marlene Dietrich as Madame Bertholt
Maximilian Schell as Hans Rolfe
Judy Garland as Irene Hoffman Wallner
Montgomery Clift as Rudolph Peterson
Werner Klemperer as Emil Hahn
Synopsis: At the end of World War II, a New England judge is sent to Nuremberg,Germany to preside over the trial of four men accused of carrying out Nazi crimes.
Judgment at Nuremberg is the riveting, shocking and powerful courtroom drama that presents a fictional account of one of the many Nuremberg trials. Stanley Kramer, who was known and sometimes decried for his so-called message movies, proved that he could direct a film with real meaning and careful handling of an extremely controversial issue with this film that was nominated for eleven Oscars. The film won two, one for Best Actor for the then unknown Schell and one for Abby Mann's script. As director and also producer Kramer assembled a once in a lifetime cast headed by Spencer Tracy; no matter how big or small the role is in the movie each actor brings something special to the part.
What I liked most about the film was the way in which it presented a controversial issue and didn't leave out anything important or cover it up. Whereas some courtroom dramas can drag on and become monotonous, Judgment at Nuremberg kept me glued to the screen throughout its lengthy running time.
Courageous Cameos
One of the most important things that drew me into the film was the various performances. For a movie with a starry cast it didn't relegate anyone to the side lines but let each member give something unique to the film. In a performance that lasts for around ten minutes, a barely recognizable Judy Garland gives an emotional and heart wrenching weight to the film as Irene Hoffman, a German woman whose friendship with a Jewish man had her imprisoned and him murdered. The moment, in which she breaks down after being intensely questioned during the proceedings, is sad to watch, one needs only to look at her eyes to see the pain it is causing her.
Montgomery Clift also gives an equally harrowing and poignant performance as Rudolph Peterson; a man considered feeble-minded who was sterilised for this reason by the Nazis. When I viewed the scene in which Clift nervously recounts what happened to him, and vehemently tries to deny that he is not feeble-minded, I was shocked and repulsed at how things such as this could have happened to people.
Another aspect of the film that I found interesting was the clear difference of the two men in charge of the proceedings, the American Colonel Lawson and the German Hans Rolfe. One of them wants every Nazi to pay for what they did while the other says that the men accused were merely following the orders given to them. This presents an interesting point as there are no easily identifiable bad guys in the film and the proceedings that follow are enthralling because of this. Both Widmark and Schell are outstanding as polar opposites who often verbally clash during the Trials. Marlene Dietrich is also outstanding and convincing in a role not usually associated with her; her general role was as the femme fatale or the seductive cabaret girl. But in this film she portrays a German widow whose Nazi husband was killed during another trial. I think her character is interesting as she is the flip side of what people saw at the time as the stereotype of German people and she tries to convince Judge Haywood that Germans are not all monsters. Although he doesn't talk a lot in the film (except his two highly dramatic monologues) Burt Lancaster is amazing and barely recognizable as one of the four men accused of carrying out the atrocities. Star Trek fans should look out for William Shatner in a small early role as a captain.
Stereotypes and Identity
Nuremberg investigates the theme of national identity. At the time of the film's release, German's where not seen in a good light. This is why the character of Madame Bertholt is featured in the film. She is there to show that not all German's believed in Nazism during the World War.
Identity is also apparent throughout the court proceedings, it is examined in the case of Irene's friendship with a Jewish man that had tragic and horrific consequences. The court looks at the way in which Jew's were treated during the Holocaust.
The horror of the Concentration Camps
The main scene that has stayed with me is when Lawson shows real footage from concentration camps as evidence in the court proceedings; it is a haunting and extremely dramatic scene that lives long in the memory. Up until this point in time, hardly any footage from the Camps had been shown, so one can imagine the audience reaction when the film was shown in 1961. I remember how shocked I felt when I watched this scene; it was one of those moments where something is so shocking that you must continue watching it. I thought that it was a bold and brave move to feature this footage as the Nuremberg Trials and the Holocaust where issues that needed to be addressed. The film didn't shy away from dealing with the issue honestly and the results are fantastic and extremely realistic.
The real star though for me is Tracy, he brings a dignity to the character of Judge Haywood wh o the burden of the case lies on.Tracy brings his usual understated personality to the part and he is the person who is most conflicted throughout the proceedings. In the end the difficult decision falls upon his old and wise shoulders.
Judgment at Nuremberg is a fantastic courtroom drama that deserves to be better known. This film is a prime example of how a drama about a serious issue can still be enthralling and thought-provoking without being boring.

Best Reel Life Indian Television Couples Of The Decade (2010-19)
by Parag Rahate January 4, 2020 August 7, 2020 0
As we are bidding adieu to this decade, it's time we look back to the decade that passed. This decade saw the emergence of OTT platforms and shows that were produced exclusively for the netizens using the OTT platforms. The shows have been positively received by the audience, and have gained huge popularity among the youth.
But even after the emergence of web series, people have been hooked on to their favourite television serials. The love we Indians have for TV serials can never die. At times, we watch a show for a particular character whom we can relate to, while mostly we watch serials for the couple that it stars.
Though these reel life couple characters are decided by the writers, but those are the actors who wholeheartedly take up that role and make us fall in love with them. The actors bring in the chemistry on television that we go mad over.
In the decade 2010-2019, Indian Television gave us many couples to fall in love with. They were literally "couple-goals". From Armaan and Riddhima from Dill Mill Gayye to Karan and Preeta from Kundali Bhagya, many couples managed to create a place in our heart. This article is dedicated to those couples, who made us fall in love with them with their superb acting and fantabulous chemistry.
1. Armaan – Riddhima (Dill Mill Gayye)
"Hum toh chale the dost banke jaane kahan Dill Mill Gayye", this was a sequel of the famous show Sanjivani – A Medical Boon that starred Mohnish Behl, Mihir Mishra, Gurdeep Punj, etc. The viewers had a lot of expectations with its sequel, and it did stand up to those expectations. It gave us one of our favourite couples, that we crushed over so badly – Armaan Malik and Riddhima Gupta.
The couple's popularity gave them a show run of 3 years, until Star One became defunct. Armaan, played by Karan Singh Grover was a crush of many girls during that time. The role of Riddhima was essayed by Shilpa Anand and Sukirti Khandpal, before they got Jennifer Winget to play the role of Riddhima. Karan Singh Grover and Jennifer Winget as Armaan and Riddhima, we like a house on fire, no one could separate them and though they did get separated in the show, the ended up together during the last episode of the show.
2. Samrat – Gunjan (Miley Jab Hum Tum)
Samrat essayed by Mohit Sehgal and Gunjan essayed by Sanaya Irani weren't only an ideal couple on screen, but also ended up marrying each other off – screen.
Samrat, a dashing handsome hunk and Gunjan, a timid introvert girl, opposites do attract. Samrat befriends Gunjan and helps her in bringing her talent of music out in the open. During the process, Gunjan unknowingly falls for Samrat and realizes her love, but Samrat is a bit late in realizing his love for her. They go through their own quota of misunderstanding, but at the end they fight all the obstacles and emerge together.
3. Arnav – Khushi (Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?)
This is a love story between Khushi Kumari Gupta, a middle class girl from Lucknow and Arnav Singh Raizada, a stone hearted wealthy business tycoon from Delhi. This show starred Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani in pivotal roles.
Arnav and Khushi's first meeting was filled with hatred and anger when she mistakenly ruined Arnav's fashion show. Later, she takes up a job in Arnav's company and his grandmother appoints her to groom Arnav's fiance. But slowly, with every meet Arnav and Khushi hatred turned into love and they got married.
In the one year that this show ran, this reel couple managed to touch all our hearts. Due to the popularity of Arnav and Khushi, this serial had to more seasons with different characters. Though, the other two seasons couldn't manage to keep up to the expectations of the audience and were duds.
In 2015, the producers came up with a spin – off – Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon? – Ek Jashn with the same cast which was aired on Hotstar.
4. Naitik – Akshara (Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai)
This was the first show of our stylish diva Hina Khan, who made all of us proud when she appeared Cannes Film Festival this year. Hina Khan played the role of Akshara who was paired opposite Karan Mehra who played the role of Naitik. Though rumours had it that the two didn't share a good bond off screen, but guess what? That didn't stop them from becoming an iconic couple and becoming a part of our list of best reel life couples. The story starts with an arranged marriage fixed by Naitik and Akshara's family and they fall in love in the course of their marriage. It was different because it wasn't the same story of a girl and a guy met, fell in love and got married. It was the other way round. The families met, fixed the "rishtas" and then started their arranged cum love story.
But we had to bid adieu to this cute adorable couple, when Hina Khan left the show resulting in the death of Akshara's character.
5. Manav – Archana (Pavitra Rishta)
Ekta Kapoor has always been credited for the birth of some iconic couples ranging from Anurag and Prerna to Arjun and Aarohi. She has always been successful in making us fall in love with the idea of falling in love. Another such couple was Manav and Archana. Years before Sushant Singh Rajput made an entry into Bollywood with Kai Po Che and Ankita Lokhande starred in Manikarnika, both of them started together in a show called Pavitra Rishta. A love story between a mechanic, Manav and a less educated homemaker, Archana. They fall in love, and after a lot of opposition from both the family, then marry each other only to be separated a few years.
But, all's well that ends well. After a leap of 18 years, they meet again but this time only to complete the divorce proceedings. But when there is love, you can never stay seperate. They unite and are united till the end of the show, when Manav dies in an accident, Archana too dies in grief and they meet in heaven, remembering their Pavitra Rishta.
6. Arjun – Purvi (Pavitra Rishta)
Talking about Pavitra Rishta, there was yet another couple who were destined to be together, and they were Arjun and Purvi. Purvi was Archana's adopted daughter, while Arjun was Manav's partner's son who was earlier his boss. Arjun comes to Mumbai and becomes the boss of the company where Archana and Purvi work. Arjun and Purvi were initially at loggerheads with each other, but slowly fate got them together and they fell in love. But, they were separated when Purvi forced Arjun to marry Purvi's sister (Archana's biological daughter) for the sake of her mother. She left their life for good.
But destiny did have some other plans. They met again, got married this time only to be separated again. Even after so many separations, their love didn't die and they ended up being eternal. Talking about Arjun and Purvi, it's hard not to mention the actors who played these roles, Rithvik Dhanjani and Asha Negi. The show might have shown them get separated umpteen number of times, but off screen Rithvik and Asha fell in love through this show and never got separated. They also participated in Nach Baliye and brought the trophy home. Fans loved their chemistry off-screen and on-screen and call them "AshVik" lovingly.
7. Kartik – Naira (Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai)
Naira, was Akshara and Naitik's younger daughter who ran off from her house after she committed a crime. After a leap, she came back and a new character was introduced with her called Kartik. Initially, they used to fight a lot. But then love happened. After Akshara and Naitik, they are successfully carrying the baton of the show.
Though there have been through a lot of issues and difficulties, they have always emerged victorious.

Appendix K: Venus and Epidemics.
Venus has been implicated in the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 (the influenza pandemic). The suggestion is that the Sun, Venus, and Earth had been in line a month or two before the first, non-lethal, wave of the epidemic struck in the spring of the year. The second, very virulent, wave struck in late August and September, with a peak in late October.
The mechanism would be the solar wind's protons, which are focused by the very long tail of Venus's plasmasphere. NASA has identified the tail of Venus as "stringy" -- clearly identifying it as a Birkeland plasma current in high dark mode. The protons are traveling in excess of 2 million miles per hour (3.2 million km per hr) on reaching Earth. Although they do not penetrate materials at that speed, they could damage cell structures and could cause changes in simpler forms, like viruses. As likely is that the increased inflow of particles changes the electrical characteristics of the upper atmosphere and allows a wider dispersion of viruses or bacteria.
Venus passes between Earth and the Sun frequently (five times every 8 years), but since the orbits are tilted, the planets seldom are in a direct line with the Sun. Additionally, although the plasmasphere tail (coma tail) of Venus is very long, it does not quite extend to Earth. However, it is possible for the Moon to fall into place in such a conjunction, and provide a remaining path to the circuit. Such conjunctions are less frequent, generally happening two or three times in a row, followed by an equal time span where this does not happen.
The geometry is not as simple as suggested in the text above. Under normal conditions the Sun's protons which travel along the edge of the plasmasphere tail of Venus toward Earth would be deflected by the Earth's magnetosphere. The Earth's plasmasphere probably extends 20 Earth diameters into the space toward the Sun, (160,000 miles, 260,000 km). The Moon travels about 30 Earth diameters away from the Earth (250,000 miles, 400,000 km), and is likely to also have a plasmasphere "shadow" extending away from the Sun, toward Earth.
John M. Barry, in The Great Influenza (2004), suggests an unusual mutation of the influenza virus for the virulent second wave which struck in September and October of 1918. Barry suggests that the almost simultaneous appearance of the influenza in the United States can be accounted for by human contact, specifically by cross-country troop movements.
There was no inferior conjunction of Venus associated with the second wave which first appeared in September and October of 1918.
The next inferior conjunction after February 11, 1918, was on September 14, 1919. At that time Venus passed the Sun at about 5 degrees off the ecliptic. A new Moon only shows up a week and a half later, on September 23, 1919, at which time Venus was about 14 degrees removed from the Sun. A third wave of the influenza appeared four months later, in early February, 1920. But neither the second wave nor the third can be related to the movements of Venus.
After the Asian SARS virus epidemic of 2002 - 2003, I checked the Sun-Venus-Moon positions for the months before the outbreak was detected. An inferior conjunction of Venus directly in line with the Sun and our Moon had happened about three months earlier. That condition (a three-month "incubation") had also been noted for the Spanish Flu epidemic by other researchers.
A number of people have suggested a simpler process. They have suggested the existence of viral forms in the upper atmosphere of Venus. These would appear in Earth's upper atmosphere after being stripped away from the upper atmosphere of Venus by the solar wind, and their travel down the exterior of the plasmasphere tail. I will return to this further below.
Earlier research by Donald Barber at Lockyer Observatory in England, reported in Perspective Volume 5 (1963), had shown unidentified bacterial contamination of photographic plates exposed (to the night sky) between 1936 and 1961 followed a pattern of appearing 30 days after the inferior conjunctions of Venus. The bacteria were picked up (apparently) during film processing, and were found in the local spring water supply (used in processing). Their appearance followed a wind from the north, and local rains.
"At the height of each major 'invasion' irreparable damage to freshly processed spectrographic plates was caused by numerous quasi�circular crater�like defects (0.05 to 0.25 mm in diameter) from the centre of which the silver deposit had been eroded, and transferred to the perimeter. In a badly affected 1/4 plate negative some 5100 of these craters could be seen at low magnification (x15). In several instances the photographic film was completely liquefied and was seen to slide off the glass base intact."
Because the damaging bacteria appeared in each case about 30 days after an inferior conjunction of Venus, and after northerly winds (actually winds from the northwest) and rain, Barber assumed that the bacteria entered the Earth's upper atmosphere (at the aurora borealis) with the solar wind after it passed by Venus. The 30-day delay is about equal to a terrestrial wind speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km per hr) from the auroral region.
Barber further notes that these events only occurred nine times in a period of 25 years. Each followed an inferior conjunction of Venus and a simultaneous "geomagnetic storm," that is, an auroral display. Venus reaches inferior conjunction every year and a half. Bob Fritzius has plotted both the Venus inferior conjunctions and sunspot activity against the bacterial invasions. See below.
Sunspot activity -- an index of the electrical activity of the Sun -- is difficult to relate to the bacterial invasions. Some pandemics are also shown, but also do not seem to be closely related to sunspot activity. Notice also that in some years nothing happened.
Except in a few cases, the bacterial invasions all follow directly on the inferior conjunction of Venus -- shown as red lines -- and at times seem to "hold over" for a period afterward.
In the chart below I have listed the inferior conjunction of Venus for the period of 1930 through 1961. For each of the inferior conjunctions I have listed if a new Moon appeared at the time of the conjunctions.
The date of the new Moon was often a few days removed from the "official" date of the conjunctions, since the calculated date is taken as the moment Venus crosses the meridian of the location of the Sun in the sky.
My conclusion is that an intervening Moon is needed for the electrical contact to Earth via Venus. Because the phenomena at Lockyer Observatory are dependent on the weather (as well as, apparently, on the freezing temperatures of winter), the failure of the phenomena to appear in some years does not depend solely on the inferior conjunctions of Venus. But the opposite can be tested: if the inferior conjunction does not coincide with a new Moon, the invading bacteria will not show at all.
- in 1959 there is no relationship at all.
Fred Hoyle and Chandra Wickramasminghe in Diseases from Space (1979) claimed a correlation of the severity of influenza pandemics with sunspot activity, and suggested that viruses or bacterial spores could be transmitted to Earth from the tails of comets and with streams of meteors.
All four of these people are highly respected astronomers and their opinions are not to be neglected. Chandra Wickramasminghe and Jayant Narlikar followed up with another paper in 2001, claiming evidence of bacteria captured at altitudes of 41 km above the Earth. But a pandemic influenza is viral, not bacterial.
"Compared to Earth, Venus has a negligible magnetic field. That means that the solar wind can disturb its atmosphere directly, and can blow away fractions of its upper atmosphere (including airborne particulate matter) in comet-like fashion."
This suggests the existence of life-forms in the upper layers of atmosphere of Venus, the only part of the planet which actually receives sunlight. At its surface, Venus is jet black. There is no light.
Followers of Velikovsky suggest that, if these life-forms exist on Venus, they will have come from Earth during the near approaches in 2349 BC and other dates to 1440 BC.
There were no "near approaches" as I have pointed out. I contend that Venus did not come to within 10,000,000 miles of Earth at these times. However, there have been periods in the past when the orbit of Venus extended past the orbit of Earth. Transfer of molecules (as ions) along the exterior double layers of plasmaspheres of planets is almost certain. We have clear indications of this for Mercury and for the Moon. This suggests that a transfer could have been made in the remote past, but not at these two dates.
If organisms, originally from Earth, could be delivered back to Earth, it seems likely that bacterial spores and viruses would eventually also be found on the Moon and Mars. This would cause considerable rethinking of our biological uniqueness in the Solar System.
Considering that the bacteria represent 80 percent of the biomass of Earth, and are found absolutely everywhere, it is quite possible that a bacterial transfer from Earth three or four thousand years ago could thrive in the Venusian upper atmosphere. It is highly likely that these forms would have mutated into many diverse species by now. But it is highly doubtful if bacteria would survive transport across 30 million miles of space.
Viruses are the products of bacteria. They do not engage in energy transfers, reproducing instead entirely by intrusion into host bacteria (and other cells structures). Viruses could without a doubt survive a 30 million mile trip through space. Many forms seem to be almost totally indestructible.
John M. Barry, in The Great Influenza (2004), one of the best and absolutely engaging books on the 1918 epidemic, spends early chapters in the distinction between viral and bacterial action, which could be considered a primer on the subject, although inconclusive in the admission that we know almost nothing about viruses, where they come from, how they operate, or what their purpose seems to be.
My first reaction to the Swine Flu outbreak of April 18 - 24, 2009, in Mexico City, was to check for a inferior conjunction of the Sun and Venus at three months earlier. There was nothing three months earlier, but there was a conjunction about a month before that date, on March 26, with the Sun, Venus, and the new Moon at inferior conjunction with Earth.
By April 27, 2500 cases were suspected among Mexico, USA, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Australia, and Spain, with 264 confirmed, and 152 deaths. The last were all in Mexico. Veracruz reported 1800 cases of flu-like symptoms by April 6; supposedly there were earlier cases since February (which may be unrelated). The earliest case dates to March 22. Mexico City reported "influenza like illnesses" as early as March 18, 2009.
Typically, the strain is clearly spread by human contact. The World Health Organization confirmed on April 24 that the H1N1 strain has "never been seen before." If this new H1N1 influenza strain is due to Venus, it represents an unusually short incubation period for a SARS type virus.
The alignment of superior and inferior conjunctions of March 26 (Mercury - Sun - Venus - Moon - Earth, with Mercury at superior conjunction), a month before the peaking of the 2009 Swine Flu outbreak on about March 24 is not unlike the alignment of planets on June 20, 1968 (Mars - Venus - Sun - Mercury - Earth), a month before the first outbreak of the H3N2 Hong Kong Flu of July 13, 1968. The Moon did not join this lineup until 5 days later, when Mercury had moved aside (Mars - Venus - Sun - Moon - Earth). The Hong Kong Flu reached maximum intensity two weeks after the first case of July 13, on July 27th.
"It looks as though the swine flu pandemic of 2009 will go down as one of the biggest government and pharmaceutical scams ever, renewing a healthy, and necessary, skepticism about the swine flu vaccine and the dubious dealings behind the implementation of worldwide mass-vaccination programs."
They could have asked me.

Q: $F$-linear maps $K \to K$ as a vector space over $K$(!), where $K/F$ is a finite-dimensional field extension Let $K/F$ be a finite-dimensional field extension, say $[K:F]=n$. Let $\mathcal{L}_F(K)$ denote the collection of $F$-linear transformations $K \to K$. Obviously this is an algebra over $F$. Indeed, it is just isomorphic to the $n \times n$ matrices over $F$. In particular, $\mathcal{L}_F(K)$ is an $n^2$-dimensional vector space over $F$.
Note, however, that you can also view $\mathcal{L}_F(K)$ as a vector space over $K$. I am a bit puzzled as to what this vector space looks like though. Can somebody please clarify this? I suppose that, in a certain sense, the only thing to know about a vector space over $K$ is its dimension. So, for sure, I would like to know:

Question: What is the dimension of $\mathcal{L}_F(K)$ as a vector space over $K$?

Any other comments which shed light on the $K$-linear structure of $\mathcal{L}_F(K)$ will also be appreciated.

A: I claim that $\dim_K(L_F(K)) = [K:F]$: To see this, choose a basis $\{e_1,e_2,\ldots, e_n\}$ of $K$ over $F$ and let $T_{i,j} \in L_F(K)$ be the operator that maps
$$
e_i \mapsto e_j \text{ and } e_k \mapsto 0 \text{ if } k\neq i
$$

*

*Since $\{T_{i,j}\}$ forms an $F$-basis for $L_F(K)$, it follows that it spans $L_F(K)$ over $K$. Furthermore, for any $i$, note that
$$
e_j^{-1}T_{i,j} - e_k^{-1}T_{i,k} = 0
$$
Hence the set
$$
S:= \{T_{1,1}, T_{2,1}, \ldots, T_{n,1}\}
$$
spans $L_F(K)$ over $K$.

*We claim that $S$ is linearly independent. To see this, suppose $\{\alpha_i : 1\leq i\leq n\}\subset K$ such that
$$
\sum \alpha_i T_{i,1} = 0
$$
Then for any $1\leq k\leq n$,
$$
\sum \alpha_i T_{i,1}(e_k) = \alpha_k e_1 = 0 \Rightarrow \alpha_k = 0
$$
Hence, $S$ is a $K$-basis for $L_F(K)$, and $\dim_K(L_F(K)) = [K:F]$

A: It is even easier:
Let $B$ be a $F$-basis of $K$. We have
$\operatorname{Hom}_F(K,K) = \operatorname{Maps}(B,K)$
The latter is well known to be a $K$-vector space with basis $B$ (since $B$ is finite!). Hence the dimension of $\operatorname{Hom}_F(K,K)$ as a $K$-vectorspace is $|B|=\dim_F K$

A: Now that the dust has settled on this question, I had might as well point out what is probably quite clear in hindsight. The fact that $\mathrm{dim}_K(\mathcal{L}_F(K)) = [K:F]$ is also an immediate consequence of the following fact.

Proposition: Let $K/F$ be a finite dimensional field extension. Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over $K$. Then, the relation $\mathrm{dim}_F(V) = \mathrm{dim}_K(V) \cdot [K:F]$ is satisfied.
Proof: Say $[K:F]=m$ and $\mathrm{dim}_K(V) = n$. We just need to check that, if $\{\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m\}$ is an $F$-basis for $K$ and $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$ is a $K$-basis for $V$, then $\{\alpha_i v_j : 1 \leq i \leq m, 1 \leq j \leq n\}$ is a $K$-basis for $V$. This is rather straightfoward. For example, if we have $\sum_{ij} c_{ij} \alpha_i v_j = $, where $c_{ij} \in F$ then, rewriting this as $\sum_j \left(\left( \sum_i c_{ij} \alpha_i \right) e_j \right)=0$ we get that $\sum_i c_{ij} \alpha_i$ for each fixed $j$, because the $v_j$ are $K$-independent, and so it follows that each $c_{ij}=0$, because the $\alpha_i$ are $F$-independent.

So, while Prahlad Vaidyanathan's proof is very nice, reading it might leave one with the impression that the situation is more special than it really is.

Daily Cinema Digest – Friday 28 November 2014
By Patrick von Sychowski | November 28, 2014 2:40 am PST
Yesterday was the one-day Cinema of the Future conference organised by the CEA in London. One of the key talks was a panel with amongst others UK advertising major DCM's CEO Simon Rees, who argued for need for a new relationship between exhibitors and their audiences.
Speaking at the inaugural Cinema of the Future conference in London, Rees cautioned delegates that while the big screen experience remains robust, exhibitors need to address the way they interact with audiences in order to ensure continued growth in the sector, which is experiencing significant challenges in 2014.
"Cinema is going through a phase of resetting itself," said the executive during a panel on the digital landscape. "It's learning pretty quickly that it needs to reset itself in the eyes of its customers.
"The quality of the content is strong – the big screen experience is strong – but the key challenge is in cinemas' relationships with their audiences. LINK
Just how honest are cinema goers? The only independent cinema in Newcastle is hoping they are after they discovered that their online system had not charged customers buying tickets on their website for two months.
A cinema in Newcastle has appealed for people who recently bought tickets online to pay for them.
Technical problems with the e-ticketing system used by Tyneside Cinema meant some tickets were issued without payment being taken.
It came to light when customers got in touch saying their card statements had shown no record of a charge.
For security reasons, the box office did not keep card details, so it is now relying on people's goodwill. LINK
Here is the message from the cinema's own website.
Due to a technical problem some of the tickets that were purchased via our website have been issued to customers, but payment for them hasn't been taken from customers' bank accounts.
This online booking problem is now fixed.
However, if you have bought Tyneside Cinema tickets via our website during September and October, we would ask that you please check your credit or debit card statements as they arrive to confirm whether your payment was made.
If you find that your tickets haven't been paid for, please contact us to pay for your tickets.
Russia – The Russian Duma (parliament) has voted down a proposal to impose a quota in the import of Hollywood films. The MPAA is, perhaps not surprisingly, happy about this.
The Motion Picture Assn. of America, which represents the interests of the Hollywood studios, has welcomed President Vladimir Putin's opposition to the introduction of movie quotas as Russia lawmakers shelved a plan to bring in the measure Thursday.
Members of Russia's lower house of parliament, the Duma, had been due to debate a bill that would have imposed a 50% limit on foreign films, but lawmakers have decided to park the proposal.
This follows a recent speech made by President Putin in which he said he opposed such a policy. LINK
"Interstellar" might not have been available in 3D but it was in 4DX, though not everyone liked it.
According to CJ 4DPLEX, an affiliated company of Asia's largest multiplex cinema chain CJ CGV, the 4D edition of Interstellar, during three weeks of showing in their 22 4DX auditoriums, were more than 70 percent times capacity on average, which is by far the highest this year…
As of today, 4DX is running 113 auditoriums in 27 countries worldwide including South Korea, China, the United States, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and others.
However, it seems that not all were amused by 4D. Many complained about the distraction caused by the physical effects. Zhang Cong, a Chinese tourist visiting Seoul, said she felt dizzy when watching the 4D Interstellar.
"Actually, I couldn't concentrate on the story line because of the frequent motion of seats," she said. LINK
This reviewer (pictured above) was also not impressed.
USA (MI) – Ticket sales are up a whooping 60% since this multiplex switched to luxury seating.
heaters are installing tush-friendly recliners as a way to compete for a declining number of customers. They are throwing in restaurant-grade food, alcoholic drinks and even wait-service delivery directly to patrons in their seats.
"I am totally impressed," said Lance Capistrant of Watertown, who had a dinner, beer and a movie recently without leaving his almost-horizontal seat at the Marcus Oakdale Cinema.
Four theaters in the metro area have made the switch to recliners — although the Marcus Oakdale is the only one with in-seat delivery of food and drinks. LINK
India – Mukta Arts has ambitious plans for its cinema expansion.
As the movie exhibition business undergoes a consolidation phase, Rahul Puri-led Mukta A2 Cinemas, the exhibition arm of Subhash Ghai's Mukta Arts, is looking at occupying the mid-level spot, with a screen presence of around 100 screens by the end of the next fiscal.
Currently operating 30 screens across 10 properties, the cinema chain will be ramping up its presence in tier-II and tier-III areas.
The outfit started operations around three years back. With an average of three screens per property, the multiplexes have a ticket price range of Rs 120 to 150. The latest expansion has been in Bhopal and in the coming months, Puri and his team plan to take brand Mukta A2 Cinemas to territories like Gurgaon, Panvel and Dehradun. In the long run, the chain may look at strategic investment from bigger chains, but for now, the focus is on brand building and organic expansion. LINK
Canada – A name change in store for several Cineplex multiplexes to Scotiabank (Cinéma Banque Scotia in French-speaking Montréal), as part of a naming rights scheme.
Cineplex announced Tuesday that the shopping centre's movie theatre will be one of eight in Canada renamed "Scotiabank Theatre."
St. John's is one of three new locations for the name change, along with theatres in Halifax and Saskatoon. The three new Scotiabank Theatres join cinemas in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.
A news release from Cineplex Entertainment said theatre signage will change soon. LINK
Romania – Indian multiplex operator Cine Grande plans to expand in Eastern Europe.
Indian Cine Grand cinema chain, which has two multiplex cinemas in Romania in Bucharest and Botosani, plans to make EUR50 million to EUR60 million investments in about 20 movie theaters in the country in the next three years. LINK
Cuba – In 1962 Cuba had no less than 32 mobile cinemas (Cine-movil). Now the concept is being brought back with digital projection and inflatable screens.
The revolutionary experience of mobile cinema, which brought the cinema to the most remote communities in Cuba half a century, now returns to show the benefits of digital projection .
Given the evidence that Cubans are increasingly the magical dark room, the organizers of the 36th International Festival of New Latin American Cinema will neighborhoods to project films suitable for the whole family on an inflatable screen 6×6 meters.
The incentive will also enjoy the film in a predominantly digital projection, thanks to a projector-art acquired by film and cultural authorities in Cuba. LINK
Digital Death Watch
Canada – This Dollar Cinema has gone first-run, but I worry for how long given that the photos of the projection booth show nothing but 35mm film.
The Dollar Cinema can still cost film buffs a buck or so a flick for second-run films or those offerings at the tail end of their first runs — provided patrons buy a booklet of 20 tickets for $23. Otherwise, the price is $2.85 for admission to these films.
But $1 is all that patrons pay for regular-sized soft drinks or bottled water, as well as for small bags of popcorn and candy — considerably less than the price for these items at multiplexes.
Since last week, however, the Dollar Cinema has turned a new leaf with its Marquee CinéSpotlight program, in which the theatre will showcase first-run films not available at any other venue in the city. Kicking off this program were the offbeat but engaging pop-music fantasy Frank, starring Michael Fassbender, and Eternity, another tale from the music biz focusing on a hardluck and decidedly mediocre R&B duo.

Cinema Opening/Closings
Germany – The operator of the Berlin Zoo Palast and Astor Lounge is bringing its brand of luxury cinemas to Hannover.
For Hans-Joachim Flebbe it is not least a return to his roots when on December 3, the Astor Grand Cinema in Hanover is inaugurated with a grand gala for invited guests. Because after a good five months of intense remodeling opened Germany's largest premium movies on the site where once Flebbes career at Cinemax began: in the former Cinemax in the Hanoverian Nikolaistraße, the first home of the hamburger chain. This is Flebbe together with partner Heinz Lochmann in the city of the future in direct competition with his former employer, the Raschplatz there – where Flebbe had already opened a cinema in the late seventies – Operates a house.
The Astor Grand Cinema will offer approximately 2200 visitors place in ten halls. 500 of the seats are boxes with waiter service facilities and deck chairs with a row spacing of 1.80 meters. In the large hall, Dolby Atmos system is installed in approximately two smaller rooms, the first production-ready laser projector model of NEC will continue performing its duties. LINK
UK – This cinema is described as the "first decent cinema" the town of St Albans has seen in decades.
It's been an Odyssey of a journey, but finally St Albans cinema is reopening its doors tonight for a lucky pick of volunteers and benefactors
Owner of the long-awaited entertainment venue James Hannaway will welcome guests and introduce a film each night until Sunday.
The cinema will then close again to finish off any outstanding work, before being ready for a full opening on December 13. LINK
Germany – The lack of a second fire exit forced the closure of this small cinema.
The city of Duisburg has stopped Werkstatt [Workshop] cinema by Volker Emmig in Duissern. A second emergency exit lacking, says the 55-year-old. The master mechanic and movie fan has filed a lawsuit, hoping for the administrative court in Dusseldorf to show anger without further films in his vehicle operation can.
"Drive" is the first film in March 2012, the Volker Emmig shows in his Werkstatt cinema in Duissern. 20 to 30 people fit in, and so many have since also been regular weekend to him. But now the 55-year-old master mechanic looks thwarted by the planning department of the city. He should show in his Werkstatt no more films, because a second emergency exit, a second escape route is required. LINK
UK – Just in time for the Christmas blockbusters Cineworld in Milton Keynes unveils its revamped PLF Superscreen.
Cineworld has just announced the opening of its brand new Superscreen.
The ultimate cinema experience will reveal itself at the Milton Keynes location on December 12th.
It will offer film fans state-of-the-art projection and sound, allowing customers to enjoy the latest releases – including Fast & Furious 7 and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies – in unrivalled surrounds. [sic] LINK
UK – An opening date has now been confirmed for the new Curzon cinema in Sheffield.
The three-screen Curzon cinema is to open on Friday, January 9, located on George Street on the former site of the Sheffield Banking Company premises.
Bosses say between 15 and 20 jobs will be created at the new cinema, which will also include a new cafe and bar.
Curzon is one of the UK's leading independent cinema groups, with 15 venues around the country. LINK
UK – An innovative way to fund a cinema expansion – build flats on top. Let's see if the Penzance Council approves this scheme.
NEW flats and extra cinema screens could secure the future of a Penzance icon.
A total of 12 flats could be part of one of the largest development projects ever undertaken by the owners of the Savoy Cinema.
Income from selling the flats could fund the extension and two new screens at the cinema on Causewayhead. LINK
Australia – Construction has started on the Glenelg multiplex with more details revealed.
The former WorkSkil building, at 5A and 7 Partridge St, Glenelg, has now been demolished — an early step in Taplin Group's $17 million development which it plans to open next summer.
Last month theadvertiser.com.au revealed Greater Union had won the contract to operate the new cinema.
The 930-seat, eight-screen cinema complex is set to be built on land bounded by Milton, Cowper and Partridge streets. LINK
Ireland (Republic) – Yet more delays to this art-house cinema in the Irish Republic.
Major concerns about the deliverability of the city's arthouse cinema, which is delayed by years and over-budget, have been raised again.
Fears about Solas' ability to operate the facility, without public convention, if it ever gets up and running, were also expressed.
The backers of the project now face a grilling from city councillors, who are angry that the project appears to have stalled once again. LINK
Another cinema-oriented marriage proposal, but this one not on or in front of the big screen. Plus something other than strikes and worker-management conflict from the Brixton Ritzy for a change.
A woman proposed to her girlfriend with a romantic message displayed on the front of a south London cinema.
Instead of the usual films and cinema times the proposal was on show for cinema-goers visiting The Ritzy, in Brixton, last Wednesday.
The message read: "Now it's my turn Chris – will you marry me? xxx"
A Twitter exchange revealed the woman behind the message after she thanked the cinema for allowing her to post the message.
She also explained her partner, Chris Andrews, had previously proposed to her in New York and she was returning the favour. LINK

COLIN HILL, director, writes ...
My college dissertation, written back in the mists of time, was a comparison of the works of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, so you can see I have a long-held appreciation of the great writers of 20th Century American plays and The Crucible is an especial favourite.
This is the GWT's third presentation of this great play and I hope we will live up to the standard set by those who have gone before us.
My cast is composed of some well-known performers and a few actors making their debuts on the Crayford stage. Current GWT regulars include David Webster, Alan Goodwin, Mary Gibson, Justine Greene, Ross Holland, Peter Lang, Roger Gollop and Maurice Tripp. They are supported by rising stars Catherine Addy, Nikki Clark and Gemma Saunders as well as Company stalwarts John Turnbull, David Adams, Penny Walshe, David Hampton, Mark Baldwin and Viv McQuillan. Our debutantes include Francesca Simmons playing Mary Warren and Abiola Akinpelu playing Tituba. As John Proctor you will see Sam Oatley, returning to our stage for the first time since you saw him as one of the Darling boys in Peter Pan.
The need for young girls in the play gives us the perfect opportunity to employ the talents of some of our excellent Youth Group in a main production, so Hannah Holland, Jessica Baldwin, Ella Banks, Jade Hall and Katie Webster make the step up before, we hope, they resume their Youth Group activities when The Crucible is over. The production is in the assured hands of our Stage Manager Alan Peck and we have new talents to call on from Fiona Turner (lighting) and Matt Friett (set design).
The play is an intense, thought-provoking piece of classical theatre which is as relevant today as it was when it was written more than fifty years ago. The collective lunacy that led the citizens of Salem to turn on their own kind as a result of the mischief of young children is a warning that echoes down the generations and cautions us to beware of how we can ruin our lives when we fail to stop and consider the collective actions of so-called guardians of morality and belief.
I commend it to you and I look forward to sharing it with you in October.
Bill Bray introduces the man who probably needs no introduction
The extraordinary events of Arthur Miller's life gave him a high profile, not merely for his writing, but probably with even more people, as a consequence of his 4-year marriage to Marilyn Monroe. There was also his subpoena by the House Committee on Un-American Activities. At the time there was public comment when his son by his third wife, Inge Morath, was put into residential care when diagnosed with Down's syndrome. (Rebecca, also from that marriage is a theatre director and married to Daniel Day Lewis.)
Miller is the subject of a biography by Christopher Bigsby, who introduced the second volume (1962 - 2005) in August at this year's Edinburgh Festival. There is a powerful autobiography, Timebends, which Miller dedicated to Inge Morath.
Most of his major plays, Death of a Salesman, All My Sons, A View from the Bridge, The Price and the opening play of our new season, The Crucible, were written in the 1940s and 50s. Most were directed by long-time friend and collaborator, Elia Kazan, but the friendship and collaboration broke when Kazan was called to testify by Senator Joe McCarthy's Committee and named people he alleged to have been members of the Communist Party of the USA. Not only did this fracture Miller's friendship with Kazan but sparked off his anti-witch-hunt play based on true events in Salem Massachusetts in 1692.
Miller had less need to protect his career, but as a film and theatre director Kazan would not have survived a refusal to answer the HCUA's questions. Miller never named names, but it is a speculation that his marriage to Monroe gave him an advantage when the US authorities threatened to withhold his passport. When she came to England to film The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier, Miller was permitted to join her, although for the strictly limited period of six months.
Miller wrote The Misfits, a short story about cowboys, at the time he was getting a divorce from his first wife, and subsequently developed it as a screenplay with a role for Marilyn. In 1960 The Misfits was filmed with Monroe, Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift and Eli Wallach. Marilyn's unpredictability and waywardness caused such tensions between her and Miller that this was the final nail in the coffin of their marriage.
Miller was a remarkable playwright, as will be demonstrated in this new production of The Crucible. Don't miss out!
Are you, or have you ever been ...?
The Crucible was born out of a dark period in American history. The war was newly won, but the peace was soon lost when the Soviet ally became the new enemy in the cold war, which dominated the international scene for the next forty years. Arthur Miller likened the red-baiting of that time to the witch-hunts of the New England Puritan communities of the late 17th Century.
The House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) was formed in 1938 by the House of Representatives. From 1945 it concentrated on real or suspected communists in positions of influence in all aspects of US society and in 1947 it took a special interest in leftists in the Hollywood film industry. Eventually over 300 directors, actors and screenwriters, who had been arraigned before the Committee were black-listed by the studios and most of them were never again able to work in the industry.
In 1956, Arthur Miller, who was known to have been a member of the US Communist Party, was subpoenaed by the HCUA and attended the hearing accompanied by Marilyn Monroe. It may have been her presence and the media ballyhoo which it attracted, that led the Committee to let off Miller relatively lightly. Although he refused to name other communists known to him, his sentence was a mild $500 fine or 30 days in prison. Even this was overturned on a technicality two years later. However, he was black-listed and his passport was withdrawn. His exclusion by the studios lasted only a few years, during which time he concentrated on his stage writing.
The Hollywood Ten were eminent screenwriters who were black-listed by the HCUA, including Lester Cole, Ring Lardner jnr and Dalton Trumbo. Shortly before his death last year Corin Redgrave played Trumbo in a play which used, verbatim, the writer's letters to friends and family. Unable to get work in Hollywood, Trumbo took to writing using pseudonyms. Eventually he was publicly recognised as the writer of such box office successes as Exodus and Spartacus. He even won the 1956 Oscar for the script of The Brave One, writing under the false name of Robert Rich. Of course, he could not walk the red carpet.
In parallel with the HCUA there was Senator Joseph McCarthy's Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation. This concentrated on seeking out anybody with real or suspected communist sympathies in the government and army. People hauled up before the senator were brow-beaten into naming names, and the accusations, often unsubstantiated, piled up, creating an atmosphere of sheer hysteria, reminiscent of the well-documented witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. The temperature rose when, in 1950, a Soviet agent, Alger Hiss, was thought to have been unearthed in the upper echelons of the State Department. Fever heat was reached in 1953 when two communists, Joseph and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for espionage. It was not until the 1960s that the atmosphere cooled down and a more balanced view was taken of what became known as the era of McCarthyism.
Miller wrote The Crucible in 1953, when McCarthyism was at its height. The House and Senate committees had no real need to quiz intimidated witnesses about communists; the question, "Are you, or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?" was quite unnecessary. The organisation had been so heavily infiltrated by FBI agents that every overt and covert member had a file. The aim was to punish reds and pinkos by threatening them with prison and unemployment, by forcing them through the humiliating process of naming names. It was just like the witch trials in which simple people, most of them children, were encouraged to save their souls by labelling witches and devil-worshippers. 9/11 ushered in another period of hysteria: the War on Terror, with "extraordinary rendition" and Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay. In the search for terrorists any method was legitimate. Now most of the Guantanamo inmates have simply been released.
The message of The Crucible is an enduring one.

I was chatting with some people at work yesterday about musical tastes, blah blah. And because it's well known that I'm an ABBA fan, it was automatically assumed that my taste in music was of a narrow genre range, which I assured them it was not.
So as an interesting exercise, I went to iTunes and sorted by genre. It's problematic though, since using iTunes you're often relying on the classification system of others, which I often question, but anyway.
So yeh, I guess most of my iTunes does consist of "pop", but that's largely because the classification system is so haphazard and because I've imported all of my ABBA songs. Taking out ABBA, I have 10 pop tunes.


In the survey, many of you voiced concerns about our environmental footprint. The Baylor Business Review magazine, and the other publications produced by the Communications & Marketing Department in the Hankamer School of Business, are printed on FSC-certified 100 percent postconsumer waste paper, which is made entirely with non-polluting, wind-generated energy and contains 100 percent postconsumer recycled fiber. We have done so since 2007. This paper stock choice allows us to be environmentally friendly without an increase in cost.
You, our reader, spoke, and we listened. In fact, this issue's theme was pulled from the reader theme suggestions, which as the editor and a millennial, I found insightful and timely. Last year, we removed articles with less than 30 percent readership, taking the magazine from a dense 60 pages to 32. This year, every article's readership well exceeded that limit, and 90.5 percent of respondents said the magazine length was "great." The top three most read, recurring sections are the cover story, Alumni News and the alumni profiles, respectively. The page reduction not only improved readability of the publication, but as a result, it produced a nearly 48 percent decrease in costs.
With your direction, we will continue to strive to create the best business school magazine for you. We appreciate your honest feedback and your investment in the future of this publication. For those who did not receive our readership surveys (and would like to), or for those who would just like to share feedback, send us an email at BaylorBusiness@baylor.edu or post your comments at http://bbr.baylor.edu. We will continue to conduct online readership surveys annually to stay abreast of our readers' habits and preferences, so please monitor your inbox for an email from me in the coming months.

About the Author Robert Dimery is a writer and editor who has worked for numerous magazines, including Time Out and Vogue. And I'm relieved that One Direction haven't made it in - yet. Femi Kuti album. Real Life Magazine album.
Happy reading and Greetings Literasi. Timeless Goldie album. My good friends Mike and Karen generously bought me this book several months ago, which was very much appreciated of course. I wonder if I can get all these titles from my library?
As for the list - it is American-centric, indie-obsessed rubbish. Visibility Others can see my Clipboard. The book is arranged roughly chronologicallystarting with Frank Sinatra 's In the Wee Small Hours [3] and the most recent edition concluding with Microshift by Hookworms. Only albums consisting of original oyu by a particular artist are included.
Really amazing eblok. Carefully selected by a team of international critics and some of the best-known music reviewers and commentators, it is still a very worthwhile book to own--and definitely a conversation starter, each album is a groundbreaking work seminal to the understanding and appreciation of music from the s to the present. Subjecti. This book is very effective for the first time I read.
But I know all her albums, as I'm not too impressed with the US music scene lately. Sign a,bums for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book! But I've diversified into world and jazz more in the last 20 years, so I know that song. Strange Cargo III. There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Starting with Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, the book continues on through the rest of the s and on into the s, s, s, s, and early s. Since it has a huge amount of material to cover, I imagine the list had to be pared down quite a bit. All the entries have the name of the artist, the name of the particular album in question, and some basic stats about the album; the running time of the album, the producer, the art director, and so on. Following that is a small biographical blurb on some select tracks and how it was received at the time of release. Several don't list what the Album Cover looks like, so that is not something you will always get. Reading through this is like peeking into the history of 20th century music, and can be considered a crash course in modern music.
Published on Aug 31. Starfish is my all time favorite. By using our website you agree to our use of cookies. Or maybe I'm just writing this while coming down from a late night drunken music listening night so just fucking ignore me.
Yu you have any questions, but the whole thing is a little overkill, or the page altogether. The editors also attempted to ensure that each album profiled was still available for purchase. For every "Titanic" was a "Satantango". Perhaps we could include excerpts from the list?
