fuel ( film )
earthlings. basically the entire film is nightmare fuel, as you are watching real animals in the most abhorrent conditions and unimaginable pain possible .
the fuel film thickness resulting from diesel fuel spray impingement was measured in a chamber at conditions representative of early injection timings used for low temperature diesel combustion. the adhered fuel volume and the radial distribution of the film thickness are presented. fuel was injected normal to the impingement surface at ambient temperatures of 353 k, 426 k and 500 k, with densities of 10 kg / m3 and 25 kg / m3. two injectors, with nozzle diameters of 100 μm and 120 μm, were investigated. the results show that the fuel film volume was strongly affected by the ambient temperature, but was minimally affected by the ambient density. the peak fuel film thickness and the film radius were found to increase with decreased temperature. the fuel film was found to be circular in shape, with an inner region of nearly constant thickness. the major difference observed with temperature was a decrease in the radial extent of the film. the injector nozzle diameter was not found to have a significant effect .

richard branson flew director josh tickell and producer rebecca harrell to do a private interview with him in his living room in england for fuel .
this movie trailer gives insight into the impeding oil dependency problem and hints at the biofuel solution. the fuel film raises awareness of 9 / 11, global warming, and moreover, how we can switch to an alternative fuel called biofuel. it is based on renewable sources such as algae or ethanol, costs less, and combats the impeding destruction of the environment .
in this feature - length documentary, filmmaker and biofuel advocate josh tickell explores the origins of america' s dependence on fossil fuels, eventually detailing the cross - country road trip that he took in his biodiesel - converted van, campaigning for the more sustainable, environmentally friendly fuel. tickell interviews people in his film from all over the spectrum of fuel use, from oil company executives to those devastated by water contamination stemming from oil companies to midwestern families considering buying hummers. hoping to paint as complete a picture as possible of american fuel use, tickell explores how we fuel our lifestyle in the present and how we can hope to in the future .

fuel, however, features glaring omissions in its current cut. fuel attempts to hold a conversation about alternative fuels for vehicles and energy without mention of the crucial role that water plays in this equation, especially when considering bio - diesel production. it also ignores the raging debate around bio - diesel right now that questions whether the world will have the ability to feed itself adequately with current food crop yields when factoring in climate change and crop diversion for bio - fuel production. some scientists say it will be a choice between bio - fuels or food.

fuel is a great movie for everyone who wants to do something about our environmental crisis but doesn' t know where to begin. it is the most comprehensive movie i' ve seen that details how we got to where we are today in regards to how badly america is addicted to oil and how we can break the addiction. it is just packed with information! the one criticism most people have with environmental films is that they are doomsday outlooks and don' t provide any solutions for what we can do. fuel is not like that! it has a positive outlook and includes sooooo many different, new, and real solutions we can and should be working on right now in this country! fuel is meaningful and informative and so engaging all at the same time. everyone should see this movie to be more informed about what we should be asking for from our government in the ways of independence from oil. go see this film and help change the world !

the principal element of the film apart from the series of murders that keeps the film interesting is beautifully written dialogues between russ and keira while they are on their road trip to russ’s parents home. they are so naturally emerging through the scenes establishing the story covertly, yet convincingly. the kind of conversation that is exchanged between the lead characters reminded me of richard linklater’s before sunrise. but the similarity ends there because the carefree couple is up for some serious chasing once they run out of fuel. the aerial shots following the road through the farm lands deserve a special mention, as it was done so professionally and gave a sense of grandeur to the film; a shout - out to matt everson. although the dialogues are engaging, there are some moments when the delivery of them felt a little too flat by the actors. they sort of felt like disconnected from their actions, although for brief periods of time .

irreversible: the french film has several scenes with extremely graphic violence. within the first few minutes, a man' s arm is broken and the film' s protagonist bashes the face of another man into pulp with a fire extinguisher. the camera stays on the violence for long, nauseating, unflinching shots. later in the film, a woman is cornered in an under - street tunnel and brutally raped and beaten. the sequence lasts for over ten minutes, again without a single cut. the first half of this movie is essentially one long moral event horizon, and somehow it becomes worse when it gets better .

endor – the name alone is sending chills down my spine ever since i have had the chance of watching the film. what sets off as a breezy romantic drama right after a bewildering church service is a supernatural horror film with a silent murderer slaughtering people in his pursuit of a young woman. the unabating suspense and the horror that ensues from the bloodbath are what keep the viewers engaged till the end; the end is as fascinating as it is unexpected .
i went to my nonprofit that specialize in documentary films recently and asked them for assistance in finding proper contracts / release forms and help with what is needed when having talent sign a release. to my complete surprise, they weren' t able to provide any viable leads except for the indie film clinic here in nyc. when i went to the indie film clinic, i learned that apparently the director no longer worked there and the program was put on hold .
director josh tickell takes us along for his 11 year journey around the world to find solutions to america' s addiction to oil. a shrinking economy, a failing auto industry, rampant unemployment, an out - of - control national debt, and an insatiable demand for energy weigh heavily on all of us. fuel shows us the way out of the mess we' re in by explaining how to replace every drop of oil we now use, while creating green jobs and keeping our money here at home. the film never dwells on the negative, but instead shows us the easy solutions already within our reach .
another striking example is ben affleck’s equally catastrophic commercial and critical spinout, “ live by night, ” which proves that even an oscar - winning filmmaker working in a classic hollywood genre — the gangster film — can crash in the first lap .
d. o. a. you’ll never find a better example of a film that screams “oscar” on paper, but whispers “fuggedaboutit” in theaters than martin scorsese’s long - gestating dream project, “ silence. ” directed by an american master, based upon a universally acclaimed novel, focusing on serious film subjects like faith and courage, set in the traditionally oscar - rich milieu of the colorful foreign historical past, once “ silence ” was seen, all its assets were just so many blown gaskets .

but at least i now understand why i didn’t get it: there was nothing to get. nolan trades on a mystique fuelled by affectations such as mangled timeframes and imax cameras. in the film, the complications of chronology seem silly, and the naturalistic environment exposes this. i trekked to leicester square in london to get the full benefit of the 70mm picture, but i didn’t notice any. indeed, i thought the subject would have been better suited to the cold, tv - news glare of digital than the lushness of film .

ernest goes to jail has nash. he had no problem getting ernest sent to the electric chair, is so bad the other inmates are afraid of him, and and attempted to blow up the bank with ernest' s friends still inside. what' s really part of the nightmare fuel is jim varney' s performance: despite the fact he' s being played by the same man as ernest, he convincingly manages to not act a single thing like his trademark character .

why haven’t two of america’s finest film artists been earning the industry’s top honors lately? there’s no clear answer but take this as consolation: meryl streep’s cold streak with oscar wins ran almost 30 years. and think about the amazing streep performances from 1984 - 2011 that were nominated, but never won .
this thesis - driven documentary makes the case for biofuels as a viable replacement for oil. on another site, i make the case that conflating our involvement with the middle east with oil only is a myopic point of view (link at the end of the review), and this is just one of the arguments presented in fuel that bothered me. additionally, almost every other argument was a pathos argument that deployed the same overblown sentiment :
what about the children? we' re borrowing the environment from our children .
in the words of george carlin ,
fuck the children .
even if you' re not angered by the obsession with children that this film deploys, you' d have to admit that the argument loses its effectiveness after it' s repeated almost every five minutes. i also wonder if people fifty years from now will look at the scene in which two people drink bio - oil the same way we look at footage of people fifty year ago drinking ddt. overall, there is some good information in this film, but the arguments get repetitive and tired. urltoken urltoken

in any of the film adaptations, mary walking through the house to find colin can be deeply unsettling. the 1987 version takes this up to eleven with scary music and a lightning storm raging outside the manor — and let' s not forget the cutaways to the light playing off of the dark, ugly statues .

as we shift from fossil - fuel based gasoline to alternatives the two most popular choices are currently electricity for plug - in and hybrid vehicles and biofuels. both are more water - intensive. in fact, analyses indicate that bio - fuels are
worse
because they use 20 or more times as much water for every mile traveled when the entire production cycle is considered - - that' s from growing irrigated crops on a farm to pumping the biofuel into the car - - than does the production of traditional gasoline .

once the couple realises that it is running out of fuel, they find themselves in the middle of nowhere until they pull into a church’s parking lot. here, i must mention that it felt a bit awkward to cut right into keira’s back - story when russ is waiting outside the church for her to appear after the search. irrespective of these little negatives, julia farrell and dustin smith has a flair for ingenious acting. they could have just carried on with their roles in real life if not for the rest of the story, and that kind of involvement is crucial to any film. owen is a heavily built silent character with dark hair and a cap who towers over everyone around him. although it is uncomfortable to accept his presence everywhere without him running a lot, there is a strong reason in the end which justifies the idea .
but as “sully” sputtered through awards season, the film extended not only eastwood’s cold kudos streak, but also hanks’. after being nominated five times since 1989’s “big, ” hanks, even with first - rate work in hits like “captain phillips” and “sully, ” has not snagged so much as a single oscar nomination since 2001 .
death on the highway, produced by an organization known only as the suicide club, is put together with a little less polish than, say, the ohio state highway patrol films, but it may as well be the nastiest road safety film of them all. three of the accidents shown in the film involve dismemberment, with the worst one being a 130 km / h motorcycle collision in which the driver is literally cut in half. even the narrator is horrified by the sight that greets him. other nightmare - inducing moments in the film include a crash in which a young woman has all her arms and legs torn off and is virtually decapitated by the force of the impact, a multi - car pileup that results in the deaths of sixteen people, a driver burned to death inside his car, and a drunk - driving accident in which two young boys have their arms torn off when the vehicle scrapes against a brick wall. the filmmakers' use of a bright red filter to highlight the gore adds greatly to the effect .
eyes wide shut: about 75% of the soundtrack easily qualifies as nightmare fuel. try listening to the masked ball sequence late at night, alone in a dark house. this piece includes sinister strings in a minor key with a backmasked basso profundo voice chanting in romanian. try to sleep. the following night, play the most frightening piano piece known to man, gyorgy ligeti' s musica ricercata no. 2 as played by dominic harlan, on your ipod as you walk down the street alone in the dark. paranoia like you have never known it before .

for it is not the dynamics of the people’s armada that interest nolan. he is more concerned with what is happening on and above dunkirk’s beaches. what’s mainly happening, however, is that lots of soldiers are waiting around. escapades, not altogether convincing, are therefore contrived for a few of them. some bombs fall, some ships are sunk. commanders mutter briefly but sagely to each other. in the skies, fighter pilots conduct what seems like an endlessly repeated dogfight. one plane runs out of fuel, although not as quickly as audiences might have hoped. and that’s sort of it .
one of the best is from the climax of the first film. we learn that the kid mike dreamed everything that happened, that his brother died in a car wreck, and there is no tall man — only for mike to go back to his room and find the tall man waiting there for him after discovering the tall man' s reflection in a mirror on his closet door .
august underground' s mordum: like a serbian film, it' s an almost nonstop assault of one unimaginably depraved act after another, up to and including rape with a severed penis, cannibalization of a headless and maggot - infested infant, a young child' s rotten corpse being sexually abused, and a woman who is covered in blood and vomit being cut open and
gut fucked
.
a zombifying virus spread not through blood or air, but speech; you can be infected simply by listening to a term of endearment. the repeated madness mantras of the infected are some of the creepiest things ever committed to film, especially combined with their expressions. the movie taking place within a radio studio makes it sometimes almost unbearably claustrophobic. then there' s the downer ending... .
the restrictions nolan places on himself have been cited to demonstrate his brilliance as a director. not for him the humdrum apparatus of lesser directors. his film must be pared back so it can home in on its true subject. which is what, exactly? don’t be silly, the reviewers groan: it is the horror of war as never before. ok, got that, another stab at war - is - hell. except that dunkirk is no such thing. it is a 12a effort that avoids blood and guts as thoroughly as it avoids so much else. in the film, people hit by bombs die discreetly, with no unseemly dismemberment. even abandoning a torpedoed ship doesn’t seem too unpleasant. so the movie doesn’t, as claimed, make you feel the terror of those it depicts. why not ?
men behind the sun: a dramatization of the medical experiments of the real - life imperial japanese army' s unit 731 during the second world war, this film was known for its very graphic depictions of surgical procedures, including human vivisection. most of it can be found on youtube; if you feel particularly brave you may do a search. there' s a single scene where a child is vivisected .
the film also denies filmgoers any context. we’re told little about how the army has come to be beached or the threat it faces. we never see a german soldier, let alone the generals and politicians of either side who are masterminding events. we don’t even get the customary three sentences of text at the end, explaining the outcome. this is deliberate: nolan has said he didn’t want to get “ bogged down ” in politics .
the red skulls: it' s easy to forget it' s supposed to be a
gang war of the quasi - zombies
movie because even though the special effects are bottom - line cheesy, some of the actors actually seem to be demented in a way that' s not fake... which either means they' re better actors than this film deserved, or that they really are that messed - up in the mind .
3 dev adam: back in the 1970s, there was apparently a portion of the turkish film industry who couldn' t care less about copyright laws and made unauthorized films about a number of superhero, action / adventure and sci - fi properties. that' s just kinda weird, but one of the most infamous was this film, which involved captain america, a mexican wrestler known as el santo, and spider man. except it wasn' t spider - man; it was an evildoer called spider - man with a similar costume to spidey' s. even that wouldn' t be so bad, except that this
spider - man
doesn' t just want to rob banks or take over the world, he' s also a serial killer and rapist. there' s some unfathomably freakish imagery, like he has some gerbils or hamsters eat someone' s eyes out .
which brings us back to those “sure thing” actor nominations. amy adams has at least been spared the agony of the frontrunner who fails in front of 100 million tv viewers. despite being one of the season’s heavy favorites for a lead actress nomination in denis villeneuve’s deep and touching sci - fi gem, “arrival, ” adams had the bittersweet experience of seeing her film take off down the track with eight oscar nominations, but no room for her in the car .
the last prom, from 1980, where a prom date ends with the death of a beautiful young girl named sandy, the only child of a respected couple from a small indiana town. chilling was sandy' s best friend, who is able to walk out of the crushed van but is holding her face, apparently disfigured beyond recognition, and screaming in agony. this was a color remake of a high school prom tragedy film that had been issued in the mid 1960s .
arizona' s answer to signal 30, for want of a seatbelt, is a non - stop cavalcade of facial horror as our narrator guides us through a gruesome slideshow of accident victims' mutilated faces in a tone reminiscent of a coroner giving a courtroom autopsy briefing. the worst accident featured in the film involves an unlucky driver who crashes his car into a wayward horse and is subsequently crushed to death by the animal, with the grisly results on display for all to see .
so, in spite of his film’s $ 150m budget, the royal air force seems to consist of three spitfires, although real - life pilots flew 3, 500 sorties at dunkirk. the luftwaffe, which hitler made solely responsible for wiping out the beached brits, seems able to summon up little more than a couple of messerschmitts, three stukas and one bomber. the royal navy appears to comprise just two destroyers; in fact, it deployed 39 destroyers and 309 other craft .
, as it premiered this october at a theater in los angeles, is not the same movie that won sundance' s 2008 audience award back in january. according to director josh tickell the film that premiered had gone through major editing changes and additions up until the day of the recent
premier
screening. so, like many of hollywood' s movie moguls, tickell subjected his love object to some serious scalpel work before declaring it fit for public viewing. hence the name change :
the white ribbon. imagine this: you live in a small german village in the months leading up to world war i. strange events begin to happen to citizens. someone strings a wire to trip the doctor as he rides his horse, a worker falls through a weak floor and dies, two children go missing at separate times and are found severely beaten, one of them nearly blinded. what can you do about this? absolutely nothing. you can' t find out who is behind these crimes, and if you pursue suspicions, your reputation is likely to be ruined. that is what happens to the protagonist and narrator of this film. the cinematography and atmosphere of the film are so cold, it' s like you are watching a serious version of village of the damned 1960, where the children don' t have psychic powers, but are still creepy and are clearly hiding something, but there isn' t a single thing you can do about it, so you better just leave .
it should be noted that if the scandal is troubling enough, as was certainly the case here, the oscar exile can be lengthy if not permanent. mel gibson’s brilliant “apocalypto” crashed and burned with a much publicized dui arrest and rant during the 2006 awards season. and it’s taken a decade — and an even more brilliant film — to see gibson score a clutch of oscar nominations, including director for his wwii drama “hacksaw ridge. ” hollywood loves a comeback story and gibson’s “ridge” work brought him gloriously back .
canoa, a film from mexico. from the very first scene we' re told a group of workers got lynched by a town who mistook them for communists. it takes one hour of build - up to get to the point where the fanatic villagers storm the house where the young victims are. as the aggressions begin, some of the victims watch in horror, as impotent as the spectator. the lynching scene is so long, graphic and horrible, there' s only one thing capable of making it worse: it really happened .
the scene with the cat is just pure nightmare fuel, from beginning to end. a cat appears in the yard at one point. frightened, the son grabs a pair of gardening shears and decapitates it, while the two daughters watch out the window and scream. when the mother calls the father at work about this incident, they agree that it' s a
good opportunity
to further hammer down the message about the dangers of the outside world. the father dabs red paint on his shirt and splits open his clothes with shears, and greets the family by saying that their previously - unspoken - of brother is dead, killed by a cat, the
most dangerous creature in the world .
both the brutal violence of the cat' s death (which is shown onscreen) and the idea that such an innocent animal would be given such a terrifying portrayal are creepy .
this 1959 italian rip - off of the blob 1958 had a couple good ones. a memorable one involves max, who has become more deranged throughout the film, as he holds a gun on his girlfriend. cue monster, which comes up behind him and does what blob rip - offs do best. now imagine his agonized face, blood oozing from his mouth as he' s crushed, then his face disappears for a second, enveloped by monsta. then his face, a freaking skull by now, reappears while his arm is still flailing wildly .
a bomb goes off, blowing up the club they are in. we then get a pan over all of the dead, dying, and injured people, including some very nasty burn wounds, twisted bodies, and sounds of moaning and crying. one of the injured is kitten herself, which is made even worse when she gets accused of planting the bomb because she happens to be an irish man who wants to be a woman (the film takes place during the irish revolution, and kitten - who had nothing to do with the bomb - happens to be in london. )
yet nolan’s film chooses to ignore tales such as that of the medway queen, a paddle steamer that brought home 7, 000 troops in seven round trips and shot down three german planes, or the royal daffodil, which returned 9, 500 soldiers after blocking a hole below the waterline with a mattress. instead, we encounter just one boat, skippered by a saintly mark rylance, comically attired in his sunday best. the travails such a figure might have endured were apparently not dramatic enough. instead, rylance’s character is subjected to a bizarre set of events garnished with grating sentimentality .
, a 1959 film
shot in living - and dying - color ,
and the first of the series of films. the goriest of the scenes included a fiery collision on a narrow state highway between two loaded semitrailer trucks, where both drivers are killed (their charred bodies are shown being removed) and a truck driver — on a late - night run trying to make deadline on a load of 20 tons (40, 000 pounds) of steel pipe — crushed against the steering wheel and dashboard of his truck by the load, which had shifted after he apparently fell asleep behind the wheel and drove off the road
only stwpd cowz txt n drive, a 2008 british public service movie aimed at stressing the dangers of distracted driving, specifically texting while driving. the centerpiece of the film is the crash scene wherein, as the main protagonist reads a text message on her smartphone, the car she is driving drifts into the oncoming lane of traffic, resulting in a multi - car accident that kills two of her passengers and three others. the segment came under criticism after showing the violent whiplash being suffered by the girls (two of them have their heads rammed together during the whiplash) and a young girl pleading in vein for her parents — who are shown dead — to wake up .
prior to the advent of privacy laws in the 1980s (although supposedly some of these films claimed that permission from the surviving family members was obtained), many driver' s education films that depicted the grim aftermath of accidents showed photos and live - action film of the victims. often, these films — some filmed by corporate sponsors, others by a given state' s highway patrol or department of public safety — showed the victims lying in pools of blood, mangled beyond recognition (and in some cases severely burned) and in various states of consciousness if not dead. the idea, of course, was to warn of the possible consequences of failing to obey traffic laws and basic driver' s safety... but seeing such things as emergency workers extricate the charred body of a father of four from the burned shell of a car, or a once babelicious teenaged girl screaming in pain while her face is shredded to ribbons was enough to give many of their viewers sleepless nights .
wheels of tragedy, from 1963. another truck driver, having driven for hours without a break to make an inflexible deadline on a hot load of freight, rams his speeding semitrailer truck into the back of a sedan; the driver, who was killed outright, is shown with his head wedged in the steering wheel. spookier was a bloodless scene: a beautiful 15 - year - old girl is shown being pulled from a creek, in which she was thrown after the car she was riding in goes off the road. the other two passengers were injured but (apparently) survive, but the harrowing scene comes when a rookie state patrolman — through whom this film is told — carries the girl' s lifeless body to the shore and cries
damn, damn, damn !
... just before the camera zooms up to the deceased girl' s face. other memorable scenes include a woman lying in her bed at a long - term care facility, sedated to numb the pain from injuries of a crash two years earlier; and the crushed skulls of two young men, thrown from their car after ramming into the rear of a cattle truck (that had pulled over for a mechanical problem) .
highways of agony, from 1969. it isn' t always young drivers who cause accidents, as one segment in this film grimly warned. a 77 - year - old man, driving well over the posted speed limit on a road covered in black ice, crashed his car into an overpass, causing it to burst into flames on impact and killing both him and his wife; as footage of their bodies — burned nearly to skeletons — being pulled from the burned out car is shown, we learn that the only way they could be identified is through (badly charred) identification papers that somehow didn' t burn. later, the bodies of three young people, a 16 - year - old girl and men ages 20 and 26, their faces with expressions of fear and pain frozen on them, are shown strewn on the ground; the 26 - year - old driver — all three of them were drunk after a night of partying — had driven around a lowered railroad crossing gate in an attempt to beat an oncoming train. although the images were grainy, there was the story of the drunk driver who crashed his brand - new sports car into an oak tree, the crash so violent that he suffered enough injuries to kill three people.
