250 movies that are better than the Shawshank Redemption. - a list by whitethomas61 Brave New Worldview – 30 Science Fiction Films of the 21st Century - Row Three A decade into the 21st Century and we have arrived at the future. The promise of Tomorrow. But instead we have looming energy crises, endless middle east conflict and more disappointing, we have no flying cars, Heck, for all the bright and clean future promised in 2001: A Space Odyssey, none of the real companies used as brands in the film even exist anymore. Even moving from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s, nobody makes DeLoreans (although they occasionally sell on Ebay), but cloning and tablet computing (as promised by Star Trek: The Next Generation) have more or less come to pass in this century. Below are over two dozen science fiction pictures that are worth your time. In the interest of talking about the films, it should be noted that *SPOILERS* are sprinkled through out the list. Code 46 Welcome to a world with borders, very difficult to permeate borders. Children of Men How would social mores change in a world without hope?

Léon: The Professional (1994 Top 50 modern day low budget movies In this age of multi-million dollar blockbusters and eye-watering fees paid to some actors, you may forget we’re in an age of austerity. However, for the vast majority of the film industry, there is no huge vat of money, nor has there ever been. But this hasn’t stopped some of the finest films of recent years being made on a relative shoe-string, and in some cases, quite literally with a shoe-string. I reckon filmmaking thrives at the sharp end, and low budgets mean more creative ideas, and as a result, more engaging films. To prove this, here is a list of what I consider to be the finest 50 contemporary films made for under $10 million. There is a breathtaking array of recognisable genre pictures in here, too, with budgets rangin from $10 million down to as little as $7000. A few caveats before we start, though – contemporary is defined by being the last 15 years, so we’ve only chosen films made between 1997 and the present. 49. 47. 46. 45. 44. 43. 42. 41. 40. 39. 38. 37. 36. 35. 34.

My Top 250 Fav Movies - a list by cy1995 Metaphilm ::: Donnie Darko A new theory to help the viewer unravel the cult classic. Erik A. Coburn n recent years, Donnie Darko, directed by Richard Kelly, has become a cult classic. While most people who watch this twisted film will love it, few will understand the intricate, multi-layered timeline residing within. Explaining the timeline This diagram summarizes Donnie’s travel, to and from the Tangent Universe, to and from the past and the future. The entire movie occurs between points B and C on the timeline, aside from the last five or ten minutes, which happen at point A.

But, if Donnie is saved by Frank at the beginning, what about his first trip through the Tangent Universe? Wake Up
Head of an Akkadian Ruler « Indie Artist Adventures Head of an Akkadian Ruler The goal of this essay is to give the reader information to further their knowledge of the “Head of an Akkadian ruler” and evaluate the resource gathering process of utilizing only internet resources and the textbook Gardner’s Art Through the Ages. The Head of an Akkadian ruler is interesting to me for several reasons. I admire its astounding craftsmanship, its historic meaning, and the relation to prevalent and ironic events of today. The Head of an Akkadian Ruler is masterfully sculpted with an amazing balance in naturalism and abstract formal patterns (Kleiner 27). The sculpture depicts very accurately the human face. This statue, as the name alludes, is the head of an Akkadian ruler and is dated around 2250-2200 BCE (Kleiner 26). Recently during the invasion of Iraq in 2003 this historical piece of Mesopotamian art was looted from the Baghdad National Museum (O’Rourke Bibliography Kleiner, Fred S., ed. Perspective.
