Heartbreak Ridge Clint Eastwood Starring War Film
Directed and produced by Clint Eastwood, Heartbreak Ridge is a 1986 film starring Clint Eastwood and Mario Van Peebles. The film was distributed by Warner Bros and released on December 05, 1986 in the United States. Its budget was estimated to be around $15,000,000. The film is about the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada, West Indies. A portion of the movie was filmed on the island itself.
The Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, from where the title of the film was derived, was fought during the Korean War in 1951 by soldiers of the U.S. Army's 2nd Infantry Division, along with those of the French Battalion, against the North Korean Army. Clint Eastwood is Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Gunny Highway, a career Marine and combat veteran whose life has been surrounded by war. As he is approaching mandatory retirement from the Marines, he requests a transfer back to his old unit. While on a bus to join the new assignment, he meets 'Stitch' Jones (Mario Van Peebles), a flashy rock musician who steals his bus ticket and leaves him stranded. However, he manages to reach the base.
Major Malcolm Powers (Everett McGill), the Sergeant's new commanding officer, is an Annapolis graduate who has never been in a combat. He sees Highway as an anachronism in the new Marine Corps, and allocates him the reconnaissance platoon. This platoon comprises of undisciplined, untrained Marines, whom Highway forces to shape up. Heartbreak Ridge shows how the Marines go through rigorous training to shape up.
There is initial resentment among the Marines. Highway clashes repeatedly with Powers and Staff Sergeant Webster (Moses Gunn), due to his unorthodox training methods (he even fires off an AK-47 at his men to familiarize them with the weapon's unique sound). He is, however, supported by his old comrade-in-arms, Sergeant Major Choozoo (Arlen Dean Snyder) and his nominal superior, Lieutenant Ring (Boyd Gaines). After the Marines learn that Highway had been awarded the Medal of Honor in the Korean War in the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, they develop new respect for him and close ranks against their common enemy.
Highway is successful professionally but on personal front, he has some problems. Aggie (Marsha Mason), his ex-wife, is working as a waitress in a local bar and is dating the owner, Roy Jennings (Bo Svenson). Highway tries to win Aggie back, who is bitter over their failed marriage. Hesitatingly, she reconciles with Highway. Meanwhile, the unit is activated for the invasion of Grenada.
Highway's platoon is dropped by helocast before the main force can arrive. Highway heroically commandeers his men on various missions – destroying an enemy machine gun nest, rescuing American students from a medical school and above all taking over a key position – a historical fort. Commanding officer, Colonel Meyers, commends them for a job well done. The platoon is met by a warm reception when they return to the U.S. and to top it all, Aggie is there to welcome Highway back. Heartbreak Ridge ends on a happy note.
Heartbreak Ridge has many events based on real life. A 2004 survey has shown that many people have joined the military because of the attitudes and ideals that this film portrays. Members of the Marine Corps have also vouched for the authenticity of this film. In short, the setting, the plot, the dialogues and the humor are wonderful and the movie is definitely worth watching.

Heartbreak Ridge Clint Eastwood Starring War Film
The Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, from where the title of the film was derived, was fought during the Korean War in 1951 by soldiers of the U.S. Army's 2nd Infantry Division, along with those of the French Battalion, against the North Korean Army. Clint Eastwood is Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Gunny Highway, a career Marine and combat veteran whose life has been surrounded by war. As he is approaching mandatory retirement from the Marines, he requests a transfer back to his old unit. While on a bus to join the new assignment, he meets 'Stitch' Jones (Mario Van Peebles), a flashy rock musician who steals his bus ticket and leaves him stranded. However, he manages to reach the base.
Major Malcolm Powers (Everett McGill), the Sergeant's new commanding officer, is an Annapolis graduate who has never been in a combat. He sees Highway as an anachronism in the new Marine Corps, and allocates him the reconnaissance platoon. This platoon comprises of undisciplined, untrained Marines, whom Highway forces to shape up. Heartbreak Ridge shows how the Marines go through rigorous training to shape up.
There is initial resentment among the Marines. Highway clashes repeatedly with Powers and Staff Sergeant Webster (Moses Gunn), due to his unorthodox training methods (he even fires off an AK-47 at his men to familiarize them with the weapon's unique sound). He is, however, supported by his old comrade-in-arms, Sergeant Major Choozoo (Arlen Dean Snyder) and his nominal superior, Lieutenant Ring (Boyd Gaines). After the Marines learn that Highway had been awarded the Medal of Honor in the Korean War in the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, they develop new respect for him and close ranks against their common enemy.
Highway is successful professionally but on personal front, he has some problems. Aggie (Marsha Mason), his ex-wife, is working as a waitress in a local bar and is dating the owner, Roy Jennings (Bo Svenson). Highway tries to win Aggie back, who is bitter over their failed marriage. Hesitatingly, she reconciles with Highway. Meanwhile, the unit is activated for the invasion of Grenada.

Flintstones
Flintstones was a popular production as far as Hanna-Barbera Productions is concerned, since it is their major Hollywood animation series and was released in the late 1960s. It turned out to be one of world's largest producers of animated entertainment films. The Flintstones is one of the most successful sitcoms of all time
Inspired by the 1950s live-action sitcom The Honeymooners, Flintstones’ story revolved around a working class caveman's life with his family and his next door neighbor / best friend. The first prime time cartoon geared for adults, the show originally aired from 1960 to 1966, on the ABC network. The Flintstones was a huge hit for toys manufacturing industry since it earned around multi-million dollar contract consisting of merchandising business. Perhaps the most long lasting product developed in this ancillary line was Flintstones vitamins, which also became a sponsor for the program. Citing the difficulties children might have in distinguishing cartoon characters from the products made in their likenesses, critics attacked the practice of advertising vitamins to children, and such ads were withdrawn in 1972. The plot of the story revolves around Fred and Wilma Flintstone and their best friends, Barney and Betty Rubble, living in the prehistoric city of Bedrock but faced the problems of contemporary working-class life. Their lives revolved around their home, friends, and leisure activities – a world of drive-ins, bowling, and their "Water Buffalo" lodge. A baby dinosaur and a saber tooth tiger replaced the family dog and cat. In 1962 and 1963, Pebbles and Bamm appeared as the daughter and adopted son of the Flintstones and Rubbles respectively.
The Flintstones came up with an innovative concept breaking the monotonous trend by making each episode as a single story that lasted the full half hour. Until the 1960s, cartoons were generally only a few minutes long. Half-hour programs used three or four shorts. In another innovation, Hanna-Barbera produced it using limited animation techniques. This assembly line method of creating drawings, combined with reduced and simplified body movement, made it possible to manufacture animation cells more cheaply. Due to the low cost and appeal of animation to children, limited animation became the format of choice for children's television in the 1960s, a decade in which children's programming became almost entirely animated. The Flintstones characters still appear in commercials for Pebbles' cereals, and other tie ins include films (a major, live-action motion picture in 1994), traveling road shows, toys, and other children's products. It was aired on ABC in prime time during September 1966. The series was rebroadcasted on NBC from January 1967 through September 1970. Various spin-offs and specials also appeared on the CBS or NBC Saturday morning lineups during 1970s, and continue to reappear until the present. It is still available in syndication. Wikipedia

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a blockbuster family film based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel of the same name. Directed by Tim Burton, the film is a funny and copious take on the 1964 novel, which revolved around Charlie Buck and Willy Wonka. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the second adaptation on the book, the first being “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, a film that released in 1971.
Starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore as Wonka and Charlie respectively, the film hit the theatres on July 15, 2005 and went on to become an instant hit. The story revolves around Charlie Bucket, a young boy who comes from a poor family consisting of his parents and grandparents. The boy Charlie loves having chocolates, but unfortunately cannot afford many. The other lead character is Willy Wonka, the enigmatic owner of the world’s most famous chocolate company in the vicinity of Charlie’s house. The film begins with the scene of a gloved hand putting five golden tickets into five bars of chocolates. The aim of this is to select five lucky children for a tour inside the chocolate factory, and select an heir for Wonka. Willy Wonka makes a public announcement stating this. Charlie’s birthday arrives soon after this announcement, and he receives the only piece of customary chocolate that is gifted to him every year.
An excited Charlie unwraps the chocolate hoping to find a golden ticket, however he is disappointed. His grandpa Joe gives him some additional money for buying another chocolate, but once again, Charlie does not find the golden ticket. Then, Charlie finds a ten-dollar bill in the snow, and decides to buy a chocolate bar. This time, lady luck smiles on him, and he finds the golden ticket. He initially wants to sell the ticket, but keeps it on the insistence of his grandpa. They visit the chocolate factory along with four other children. During the tour, the other children who have found the golden tickets are too tempted to do something wrong under influence of a typical behavioral trait, and are eliminated one by one. This entire comedy of errors leaves behind Charlie and Wonka expresses his desire to hand over the factory to him, but on a condition that Charlie would leave his family. Charlie gives great importance to his family and hence refuses the offer. Some days pass and Charlie’s family is shown living contently, with Charlie working as a shoeshine boy. Wonka realizes the importance of family, and with the help of Charlie, gets reunited with his father, handing over the factory to Charlie.
With some great performances, and actual full size sets designed by Alex McDowell, this film proves to be a visual stunner. The wonderful soundtrack of the film adds to its appeal. Needless to say, the film became a runaway success right after its release, and left a strong impact on audiences of all age groups. Owing to its unmatched popularity, the film was nominated for the famous Academy Awards. Wikipedia

Runaway Bride
Runaway Bride, which graced the theaters in 1999, is romantic comedy film by Garry Marshall starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. While not as successful box-office of it is not as glorious as their previous work the Pretty Woman, the movie was, nevertheless, a hit among moviegoers. A runaway bride is a bride who runs away from the wedding chapel, usually shortly before the ceremony, often due to so-called cold feet
The story revolves around Maggie Carpenter and her inhibitions about the institution of marriage. Julia Roberts plays Maggie Carpenter, a lively and attractive young woman who has had a number of unsuccessful relationships. Maggie, afraid of being married, has left a trail of boyfriends. Indeed, she's left three men waiting for her in church during wedding day, getting her tabloid fame and the dubious nickname Runaway Bride. On the other hand reporter Ike Graham (played by Gere), writes an article about her that containing several factual errors. He's fired for it and then decides to write an in-depth article about Maggie in a bid to get his job back. He travels to Hale, Maryland, where he finds her living with her family and on her fourth attempt to get married. After hostile beginnings, Maggie falls for Ike, and Ike for Maggie. Becoming involved with her, Ike leads her to explore different feelings and emotions, making her wonder if Ike is the man of her life.
For Ike, meanwhile, the situation is similar: He likes Maggie, but he has been divorced, and remains uncertain whether or not he is prepared for a relationship. The Runaway Bride was bestowed with 6 wins & 9 nominations as far as its awards list goes. Since the reunion of Julia Roberts and Richard Gere in Runaway Bride was designed to bring more people to the theaters, it isn't surprising that its associated soundtrack was also a crowd-pleaser. It is somewhat surprising that an album that tackles so many different styles -- alternative pop/rock, new wave, singer/songwriters, contemporary country, R&B, cool jazz, urban soul, and Latin pop all sit side-by-side on the album -- actually worked. Whether it's a cover, an oldie, or a new tune, it all ties back to the romance theme. Like most big-budget soundtracks, there are a few new tunes that fall flat, in spite of it having such popular names like Diane Warren and Desmond Child behind it. It has a steady tone and mood, which is only broken by Billy Joel's pounding cover of Lloyd Price's "Where Were You (On Our Wedding Day)?" All in all, Runaway Bride is hardly a major album, not even reaching the standards of Pretty Woman, but it should please fans of the film. Answers

He finds out that his father who threw him out as a teenager has died and has left him an antique redeemable and most importantly, a previously unknown brother, Raymond. Raymond has Asperser’s Disorder, but is able to calculate complicated mathematical problems in his head with great speed and accuracy. Their father has left his fortune to Raymond who doesn't even understand what money is for. Charley is enraged by what has happened and by his father keeping Raymond's existence from him for his entire life.

Amadeus
Peter Shaffer wrote the renowned stage-play Amadeus in the year 1979. The lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri, two famous composers, are the inspiration behind the play. A famous film with the same name was also made based on the play. The title Amadeus refers to a name that was often used by Mozart as a pen name, though Mozart was baptized as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, a name that is a Latinization of the Greek Theophilos
Mozart sometimes was also called as "Gottlieb" a Germanized name. All these three names mean "Loved by God" or "God-lover" and in the play and film, the title serves as an ironic reference to Salieri's relationship with God. The play Amadeus utilizes Mozart and a few other composers’, including Salieri’s music to a larger extent. The prelude of the film famously flashes out with the powerful "Allegro con brio" from Mozart's Symphony No. 25. At the very beginning of the movie, the orchestral chord played is actually from his opera Don Giovanni and the tune is in G Minor and with Mozart's inimitable Requiem, it reaches its denouement. The film's score was conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and performed by The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. It is well known that in his portrayals of both Mozart and Salieri, Shaffer resorted to dramatic license. However, there is some debate regarding this in the play. Documentary evidence shows that between Mozart and Salieri, there was indeed some antipathy, but the idea that Salieri being the instigator of Mozart's demise is not proven by any academic credence.
In fact, there is also evidence that they enjoyed a relationship marked by mutual respect. But, at the same time, there might have been real rivalry between Mozart and Salieri. Musicologist A. Peter Brown's article "Amadeus and Mozart: Setting the Record Straight" may be more useful for a historical re-evaluation of this rivalry as represented in the play and the film. Several classical music experts and critics opine that Shaffer's portrayal of Mozart as loutish and petulant is unfair. Again, existing letters by and about Mozart substantiate that Mozart has brutal and profane sense of humor. He was stubborn, arrogant, and had a penchant for flamboyant indulgences. Also, some records testify Mozart suffered from large debts and he was not a good money manager and this has been portrayed in Amadeus. Finally, Mozart's relationship with his father as shown in the film seems to be portrayed accurately, as this fact has been judged from the subtext of their letters to each other. In the film, Salieri says that the ghost was in fact Mozart's impression of his own father who appears to take away Don Giovanni in Mozart's opera. Wikipedia

The title Amadeus refers to a name that was often used by Mozart as a pen name, though Mozart was baptized as Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, a name that is a Latinization of the Greek Theophilos
Mozart sometimes was also called as "Gottlieb" a Germanized name. All these three names mean "Loved by God" or "God-lover" and in the play and film, the title serves as an ironic reference to Salieri's relationship with God. The play Amadeus utilizes Mozart and a few other composers’, including Salieri’s music to a larger extent. The prelude of the film famously flashes out with the powerful "Allegro con brio" from Mozart's Symphony No. 25. At the very beginning of the movie, the orchestral chord played is actually from his opera Don Giovanni and the tune is in G Minor and with Mozart's inimitable Requiem, it reaches its denouement. The film's score was conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and performed by The Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. It is well known that in his portrayals of both Mozart and Salieri, Shaffer resorted to dramatic license. However, there is some debate regarding this in the play. Documentary evidence shows that between Mozart and Salieri, there was indeed some antipathy, but the idea that Salieri being the instigator of Mozart's demise is not proven by any academic credence.
In fact, there is also evidence that they enjoyed a relationship marked by mutual respect. But, at the same time, there might have been real rivalry between Mozart and Salieri. Musicologist A. Peter Brown's article "Amadeus and Mozart: Setting the Record Straight" may be more useful for a historical re-evaluation of this rivalry as represented in the play and the film. Several classical music experts and critics opine that Shaffer's portrayal of Mozart as loutish and petulant is unfair. Again, existing letters by and about Mozart substantiate that Mozart has brutal and profane sense of humor. He was stubborn, arrogant, and had a penchant for flamboyant indulgences. Also, some records testify Mozart suffered from large debts and he was not a good money manager and this has been portrayed in Amadeus. Finally, Mozart's relationship with his father as shown in the film seems to be portrayed accurately, as this fact has been judged from the subtext of their letters to each other. In the film, Salieri says that the ghost was in fact Mozart's impression of his own father who appears to take away Don Giovanni in Mozart's opera. Wikipedia

Something s Gotta Give
“Something's Gotta Give” is a Hollywood movie released in 2003 and should not be confused with the 1962 film of a similar title. The leading characters of the movie were Harry Sanborn which was played by Jack Nicholson an older, a successful businessman and owner of the second largest hip-hop label in the world, Julian Mercer a role portrayed by Keanu Reeves of a young medical doctor, Marin Barry played by Amanda Peet, a beautiful young auctioneer for Christie's and Erica Barry played by Diane Keaton, Marin's mother and a successful playwright
The movie “Something s Gotta Give” received three awards namely the Golden Globes: Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy to Diane Keaton, the National Board of Review:
Best Actress (Diane Keaton) and the Satellite Awards: Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical to Diane Keaton. The plot of the film is very interesting. The story unfolds the character of a sixty-three year old man Harry, who has like for girls who much young to him. Marin is his latest crush but things become a little awkward after Harry suffers a heart attack at the home of Marin's mother Erica (Keaton). Left in the care of Erica and his doctor (Reeves), a love triangle starts to take shape. As Harry and Erica are left alone they grudgingly get to know each other and something starts to stir. On the other hand the hospital doctor who treated him has started liking Erica, therefore Harry now has to face some serious competition.
Something s Gotta Give is a big budget movie with lavish settings as compared to other romantic comedies. The director of the film Nancy Meyers, who has already directed movies based on semi-autobiographical issues, gives the audience to enjoy a film that come across as an above-average intelligence and an essentially a fantasy assertion movie. As long as old pals Nicholson and Keaton are on screen discussing their dilemma over discovering their common desire, Something's Gotta Give is marvelous, proving that Hollywood can and should aim for an older demographic. But “Something s Gotta Give” in the view of film critics falls short with the concept of a younger lover (Keanu Reeves) who wishes to date Keaton as much as Nicholson does; it's believable but shallow and can be easily dismissed. The movie also has a guest starring list that reveals names like Frances McDormand, Amanda Peet, and Jon Favreau. To make the movie a prized memory in the hearts of the audiences, the producers of “Something s Gotta Give”, has also introduced its DVD version. It contains of two parts, in first we find that the writer- director Nancy Meyers, makes a more traditional yet informative knowledge about her various aspects of the production. The second half consists of exclusive interviews taken by the director of her star cast.Wikipedia
