pretty good film of one of my very favorite novels. pan, this director' s second knut hamsun adaptation, is very talky, ramps up the melodrama and the romance angle, and creates a second storyline - years later, in the depths of the siamese jungle - from the novel' s postscript. i' d have done it completely differently: minimized the dialogue, put little emphasis on the drama, and scrapped the postscript altogether, as i see the book as essentially the story of a man cracking up all by his lonesome in the wilderness. unfortunately i doubt anyone' ll ever let me film pan .

in 1966 carlsen had directed an acclaimed version of hamsun' s hunger. thirty years later he returned to hamsun to make pan, a book he called
one big poem
. the film was produced primarily with norwegian resources, and classified as a norwegian film; carlsen later expressed his dissatisfaction with the film' s promotion by the norwegian film institute, saying that the institute had preferred to promote films with norwegian directors. carlsen said that he had decided to incorporate the
forgotten
material from
glahn' s death
in order to find a
new angle
for filming the book. the glahn' s death portion was filmed in thailand, standing in for the india location in the novel (the 1922 film version had placed this material in algeria) .

some films are unjustly labeled flops, such as cleopatra (1963) and waterworld (1995), although both are included in the descriptions. in recent years, some of these low - income producing films have become profitable (after initial box - office failures) with strong international grosses, and further profits from the sales of movies to tv syndication and to home video / dvd releases (or re - releases). a prominent example of a film which did very poorly in the us, (i. e. , the golden compass (2007) ) with only $ 70 million (domestic revenue), easily recouped its production budget costs of $ 180 million with $ 302 million (foreign revenue) - for a total of $ 372 million (worldwide) .
bombs vs. turkeys: this selection of box - office financial bombs is often significantly different from another category of films, known as
turkeys
- - or in other words, films which have been rated as the worst ever made. these clunkers have often received official golden raspberry awards (or
razzies
) which were first awarded in 1981 (for films made in 1980), although some
turkeys
are included in this list (such as showgirls (1995) and basic instinct 2 (2006) ). the razzie awards were loosely based on the 1980 book the golden turkey awards written by film critic michael medved and his brother harry medved. many of the' turkeys' were also described in harry medved' s earlier 1978 book the fifty worst films of all - time. in 1984, the medveds also wrote the hollywood hall of shame: the most expensive flops in movie history - - detailing the biggest financial film disasters in hollywood history up to that time .
movie audiences often love to relish the fact that some films, such as final fantasy: the spirits within (2001), cutthroat island (1995) or heaven' s gate (1980) turn out to be monumental flops (which bankrupted their studios), and are fascinated by the details of why certain directors / actors and their films fail. sometimes an actor' s or director' s career suffers, sometimes not. most a - list directors and actors have suffered through at least one major flop, including george lucas, steven spielberg, ang lee and brian depalma, to name just a few .

lionel rogosin’s revolutionary 1956 semi - documentary about men on new york’s skid row was restored by davide pozzi of the cineteca del comune di bologna in cooperation with the rogosin heritage and anthology film archives and distributed in the u. s. by milestone films .
the surface oxide film on titanium and its long - term stability in biological environments play a decisive role for the biocompatibility of titanium implants. in this study, the passive oxide film formed on titanium and its natural growth in a phosphate buffered solution with and without an h 2 o 2 addition have been investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) measurements over a period of several weeks. in the absence of h 2 o 2, the impedance response indicated a stable thin oxide film on titanium. however, the introduction of h 2 o 2 into the solution resulted in significant changes in the eis - spectra, which varied with exposure time. the interpretation of results is based upon a two - layer model of the oxide film, consisting of a thin barrier - type inner layer and a porous outer layer. the h 2 o 2 addition in the solution led to a significant decrease in corrosion resistance of titanium and also to a thickening of the porous outer layer. the observations may provide an explanation of the unexpected in vivo titanium oxide growth and ion incorporation into titanium implant oxide surfaces .
2. “ to milestone film & video for its exemplary theatrical and / or dvd presentations of michael powell’s the edge of the world, rupert julian’s the phantom of the opera, e. a dupont’s piccadilly, andré antoine’s la terre, and mad love, the films of evgeni bauer. ”
indian film is growing in north america, thanks to a thriving indian economy, an increasing and affluent south asian diaspora, and growing popularity among afghans, arabs, russians and caribbean immigrants. but if there were few non - south asians in sight, bollywood heroes walking the green carpet welcomed the ceremony as a chance to further the industry internationally .
though it is slighter and more familiar than the usual new york film festival selections ,
kicking and screaming
( which opens commercially at the angelika on friday) benefits from an appealing cast and mr. baumbach' s keen recollection of what it' s like to be smart, promising and temporarily adrift. he himself clearly isn' t drifting anymore .
the nsfc commends and congratulates our colleague kevin thomas for his 43 - year tenure as a movie critic at the los angeles times, for his tireless championing in the heart of the world’s movie capital of the power and beauty of independent, experimental and foreign film, for his long and important service to moviegoers around the industry, the country and the world .
this four - dvd set is the result of an eight - year effort by the british film institute, the cineteca bologna and lobster films in paris to gather and restore early generation, full - frame 35 - millimeter prints of charles chaplin’s earliest short comedies, allowing these historically and artistically important films to be seen for the first time in generations in versions approaching their original luster .
there are many reasons for a film to
bomb
at the box - office - the major causes are lack of studio promotion, heavy competition from other movies released at the same time, exorbitant production costs difficult to recoup and other production problems, negative word of mouth (especially in the era of the internet and social media) or critical reviews, and other external factors such as bad timing or economic problems in society at large .
films have the potential to skyrocket the profits of a studio, or to send it into ruins and bankruptcy. films that cost more to make than they acquire in revenue (both domestic and worldwide) are considered box - office catastrophes or bombs. studios split grosses with theater owners, so even if a movie makes as much as its production budget, it' s still losing, and that' s before even considering marketing costs. a film often must make almost double its budget to become profitable. most big box - office bombs are summer blockbusters which are enormously expensive and face stiff competition .
mixing the urbane cleverness of whit stillman' s films with the more hang - loose social structure of films that generally star eric stoltz (and he happens to be in this one) ,
kicking and screaming
strikes a cheerfully solipsistic note. chris eigeman, the handsome young curmudgeon from mr. stillman' s
metropolitan
and
barcelona ,
is an especially welcome presence as max, the self - styled watchdog who best demonstrates this film' s archly literate verbal style. talking to a girl approaching her 17th birthday, max remarks :
so now you can read seventeen magazine and get all the references .
like baby birds with brand - new college diplomas, the four graduates in noah baumbach' s
kicking and screaming
are having trouble leaving the nest. they prefer a pleasant limbo filled with witty asides, trivia contests and hair - splitting arguments about matters of no consequence. girlfriends notice this aimlessness (
the characters in grover' s story spend time discussing the least important things ,
says one young woman, criticizing the film' s would - be writer), but they don' t really mind. audiences won' t either, since
kicking and screaming
occupies its postage - stamp size terrain with confident comic style .
it' s easier to make a character like max funny than to make him emotionally engaging, but mr. baumbach manages to do a bit of both. and he does the same with the story' s most fully developed character, grover (josh hamilton). grover has a father (an oddly distant elliott gould) who comes too close, a girlfriend (olivia d' abo) who goes too far away and time on his hands to contemplate all his mistakes. the film succeeds in finding something sweetly romantic and visually fresh in grover' s flashback memories of jane, along with allowing grover plenty of room for wisecracks .
prague! you' ll come back a bug !
he says contemptuously, complaining that jane' s plan to go live in the czech capital has trite overtones, even without the kafka .
a pretty good adaptation of one of my favorite novels, though i would have done it completely differently. still, to each his own interpretation, and i suppose carlsen or his producers thought it best to ramp up the romance and melodrama. it' s a movie with a lot of good things in it, not the least of which is its lovely norwegian coastal setting .

when edvarda arrives at the little norwegian village, to stay with some family, she find the lt. , thomas glahn, very interesting. soon they fall in love. it' s a very passionate relationship, but this leads to problems. both of them are very strong in their opinions, and both are behaving a little strange. love turns to hate, and instead of doing all they can to please each other, they do all they can to hurt the other person psychological. they both do a great job, and what began as a love story turns into a sad and depressing story of two ruined persons. the story is told by thomas glahn from his
exile
in thailand, where he in the beginning of the movie receives two green feathers from edvarda .
but the actors are generally quite good and the norwegian coastal scenes beautiful. it' s a nice, well - made movie, with many enjoyable things in it. though for the readers out there: go get the book (the james macfarlane translation is particularly fine) .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
the electronic superhighway is the backdrop for this provocative thriller that centers on the travails of a reclusive hacker, angela bennett, who works out of her home in venice, ca for the cathedral systems company. after six years of hard work, angela prepares to take a much - needed vacation, but just before she leaves, a co - worker sends her a new internet program that allows her to access highly classified government files. later, as the colleague flies down in a private plane to visit her, the plane mysteriously crashes. though a few more strangely connected tragedies ensue, angela decides to continue on with her vacation in mexico. there she encounters a suave british computer whiz, jack devlin. at first he seems to be interested in her, but it is later revealed that he really wants that useful net program. angela is almost killed. but she faces a fate almost worse than death when she discovers that someone on the net has stolen her identity. her visa is stolen and replaced with another. when she finally gets home, her house is for sale, and worst of all, she discovers that she is wanted by the police. jack is behind it all. if he catches her and steals the disk, all of the government' s computer security systems would be compromised .
riddled with more coincidences and implausibilities than hitchcock permitted himself in his entire career, the net still gets by as a reasonably suspenseful, very au courant thriller .
pretty soon she' s fleeing from her gun - wielding seducer, trying to recover an identity that' s being systematically erased through alteration of her personal computer records, and dodging bullets on spinning carousels .
the net is never quite as sleek and chilling as it might have been, but it gives the old story of a wrongly accused innocent a nerve - wracking 90' s twist .
a strong enough suspense thriller, a high - tech version of one of those spiraling nightmares in which an innocent person is chased by assassins and wanted by the police .
borrowing heavily from alfred hitchcock and john grisham, director irwin winkler reduces a potentially - fascinating premise to the spearhead of a routine thriller .
director irwin winkler is as graceless as ever, although the gritty look and refreshingly low - tech action sequences are welcome .
technophiles will find certain aspects of the plot less than plausible but a big budget, bullock and a tense finale ensure winkler dials up a daft but enjoyable diversion .
... the net has aged just as poorly as one might' ve expected ...
silly techno - espionage chase - thriller copycat. bullock' s miscast, but does what she can .
sandra bullock stars as a computer geek who unwittingly stumbles onto some vague internet conspiracy (
we know everything about you so now we control your life, nya - ha - ha !
), which for us translates into her simply being menaced by jeremy northam for an hour or so, only broken up every now and again with folks looking amazed at old style computer screens. story = one star, sandra (i still like her) = one star .
early technology thriller. good actors but disappointing plot. a bit of a turkey for sandra .
