10 Badass Girl Team Movies First, we have new videos from The Runaways! More anticipation! Firstly, about the Cherry Bomb music video, Vulture says that “while [Dakota Fanning] doesn’t seem uncomfortable in her skin, exactly, there’s a vulnerability to her red-lit motions toward brazenness — especially during the “Hello, Dad; hello, Mom” parts — that gives us a pang of parental panic. A pang of “Hannah Dakota Fanning! Also, E! So here we have a new featurette and seven clips from The Runaways. Although the promise of girl-on-girl action draws us to this flick like bees to honey (you know all about that right, like the circle of life or whatever) it’s also ’cause we like to see girls IN ACTION. We’re not speaking of the shopping/romance flicks where the woman wins for standing up to her philandering husband after Eva Mendes stole him at Bloomingdales. See there are always movies about groups of guys getting together and changing the world. 10 Badass Girl Power Films 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

Revolution OS: un documental imprescindible sobre software libre A lo largo de las dos últimas semanas hemos dedicado gran parte de esta sección de "Imágenes del día" al mundo del software libre con la idea de conocer, en mayor profundidad, lo que significa el movimiento GNU o conocer un poco mejor a referentes como Richard Stallman o Linus Torvalds. Si hace unos días hablábamos de "La comunidad sin amos" como un documental clave para conocer qué es el software libre y también hablamos de The Code como referencia para conocer la historia del software libre; este fin de semana queremos que te reserves una hora y veinte minutos para seguir profundizando en la historia del software libre y en el movimiento GNU. Revolution OS es el nombre de un documental filmado en el año 2001 por J. T. S. Revolution OS es uno de esos documentales que son una inversión de tiempo, poco más de una hora de inmersión el apasionante mundo del software libre.

The Series Project: Puppet Master | Three Cheers for Darkened Years! The Series Project: Puppet Master Film article by: Witney Seibold Charles Band, the head honcho of Full Moon Entertainment – that once-ubiquitous straight-to-video entity that reigned supreme during the VHS era, and still has considerable cultural clout in my own fevered brain – I suspect, used to have childhood nightmares about toys, dolls, or other diminutive monsters. How else to explain his habit of producing, or otherwise being involved in the production of, literally dozens of horror films featuring toys, dolls and other wicked homunculi? Amongst his repertoire are such classics as “Dolls,” “Blood Dolls,” “Dollman,” “Demonic Toys,” “Dollman vs. Demonic Toys,” “Shrunken Heads,” the first two “Ghoulies” movies, “Hideous!” A slight aside: Looking over Charles Band’s filmography on the Internet Movie Database proves that Band is largely responsible for most of the wonderful, trashy genre films I saw growing up. Without further ado, here is a rundown on “Puppet Master.” Series Overview

Wild Realm Reviews: Puppet Master 1 The primary puppets of the Puppetmaster film series are Blade the slasher, Jester the evil medieval clown, Pinhead the tiny-headed thug, Tunneler with his drill head, & Leech Woman who vomits leeches, plus Six Shooter who became an important addition as of the third film.More puppets are added throughout the series, most appearing only once each, not counting the lamentable "clips" episode Puppet Master 8: The Legacy (2003). Additional puppets who had two appearances each were the Egyptian Goblin, Decapitron, Torch, & Mephisto.As an ad hoc series that seems never to have had an overriding vision behind it, Full Moon Productions couldn't even decide on one word or two for Puppet Master or Puppetmaster, their own promotions going back & forth.So too some later films had subtitles, some had only numbers, & some had subtitles once or twice but not religiously used on the great variety of packages & formats in multiple releases over the years.

It tells the story of a woman struggling to interact with her family and find her place in society after spending fifteen years in prison.

While struggling to find employment, Juliette enjoys platonic companionship with two men, a probation officer who understands how prison can damage the human spirit, and Michel, one of Léa's colleagues, who is sympathetic to her ordeal of having been imprisoned. Gradually, Juliette begins to fit in with Léa and her family, makes friends, and finds a permanent job as a secretary at a hospital. Juliette agrees to accompany Léa on a visit to their mother, who is confined to a nursing home with Alzheimer's disease. Léa accidentally discovers a clue to why Juliette killed Pierre.

When You Laugh at Old Movies, the Joke Is On You By Sam Adams | Criticwire April 28, 2015 at 2:44PM Keep your mouth shut, and let others have the experience you're too shallow to enjoy. 0000014d-0120-d703-affd-6d25191a0000 If you watch old movies in public, where "old" can mean any time before 1980, you've heard them, out there in the dark. They snigger at the rear projection in "Vertigo" and guffaw at the special effects in "Beauty and the Beast" — the Cocteau version, although it'll probably be the Disney cartoon's turn soon. Every week, it seems there's a new object of ridicule, from classic James Bond movies to the Maysles brothers' "Grey Gardens." In an essay entitled, with admirable directness, "Stop Laughing at Old Movies, You $@&%ing Hipsters," Nicholson rails against the audience who chuckled and tittered their way through a special event involving a projection of Mario Bava's "Hercules in the Haunted World," a 23-piece orchestra, and nine opera singers performing the movie's dialogue. Audiences are free to reject that deal.
