Deportivo Cali and Medellin both registered critical victories to move away from the bottom of the standings in the Colombia Primera A.
The two clubs started Thursday in the bottom four in Colombia's top tier but victories over Envigado and Deportes Tolima respectively, saw Cali and Medellin move up the table.
In Santiago de Cali, Carlos Rivas and Rafael Borre scored as the home side defeated Tolima 2-0, while Medellin also won at home, coming from behind to triumph 3-2 thanks to a late brace from German Cano.
Cali started their match in second-last position with just three wins to their name in the Apertura campaign but hit the front in the 19th minute when Rivas volleyed home from near the penalty spot.
A corner in the 32nd minute saw Cali double their lead with Borre getting free of his marker to glance a header into the bottom corner.
The victory took Cali to 16 points in 15th, four points and three spots ahead of bottom club Uniautonoma, and just one position behind Tolima (17 points).
Medellin moved above Tolima into 13th with 18 points after their comeback win.
Jonathan Alvarez's scintillating strike gave Envigado the lead in just the second minute in Bogota as he thrashed the ball in off the underside of the crossbar from 25 yards.
The visitors moved 2-0 ahead in the shadows of half-time when Nelson Lemus' header from a cross by captain Neider Morantes was deflected into the net.
Envigado handed Medellin a way back into the match in the 68th minute, with Andres Orozco conceding an own goal from a corner, and the home side drew level 12 minutes later when Cano beat visiting goalkeeper Victor Soto with a close-range header.
Cano completed Medellin's comeback in the second minute of stoppage time, tapping in from Yorley Mena's fine cutback.
At the top of the Primera A table, Millonarios missed the opportunity to move three points clear of Atletico Nacional as they lost 2-1 at Alianza Petrolera.
Nacional did not play during the week due to their Copa Libertadores commitments and Millonarios could have pulled away from the reigning champions but two red cards saw them stumble at Alianza's home ground.
The hosts led at half-time on Tuesday through Ayron del Valle but after Millonarios lost Roman Torres to a red card in the 67th minute, the visitors equalised seven minutes later when Harrison Otalvaro scored.
Alianza went ahead again with 10 minutes remaining, however, with Henry Rojas finding the back of the net, while Millonarios finished the game with nine players after Lewis Ochoa was given his marching orders in stoppage time.
The result left Millonarios on 30 points from 16 games with a plus 11 goal difference, while Nacional (30, plus 13) have a game in hand and remain in first place.
Junior (30, plus five) joined them at the top of the table with a 1-0 win over Deportivo Pasto, while in other results, La Equidad won 2-1 at Patriotas Boyaca, Fortaleza and Boyaca Chico played out a goalless draw and Atletico Huila defeated Once Caldas 2-0.

Section B
Those tutor agencies in the second section meticulously check references, CRB* records, etc but, partly because of the size of their lists, conduct their personal interviews only over the telephone. These are usually agencies with a very large list of tutors and who cover a wide geographical area. They are dedicated and hard-working and take enormous pride in the service they offer but do not provide the face-to-face relationship offered by those in section A. Again we have visited all agencies in this section.
*please note The Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA) have merged into the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). CRB checks are now called DBS checks.
Companies reviewed in this section B include:
Section C
The third section comprises those tutor agencies which have been recommended to us by approbatory parents, whose tutors are happy, whose credentials and approach we have researched and which appear to us to do a creditable job but which we have not personally visited. In section C are both website-only agencies as well as those who offer the kind of careful, personal service described above. The postscript has brief reviews on two very new and ambitious agencies, both, again, specializing in the central/west London areas.
Tutor Agencies - Section C explains more about this type of agency. Companies reviewed in this section include:
Section D
These are online tutorial companies that offer interactive lessons over the web. Volunteer pupils have tried out a few lessons and they and their parents give their views.
A perfect fit?
No tutor agency – and no tutor – is perfect. All of them – the honest ones readily admit – can get it wrong occasionally and we have spoken to disgruntled clients from even the best of the agencies, but serious derailments are rare. All those listed in the following sections are reputable, respected and highly praised, both by those who work for them and by their clients. All seem to us to try hard to provide a blue chip service. The list does not include the names of all the agencies that have been recommended to us.
Some few companies we approached did not respond to our advances and we wonder why.
It's a pity so many in our list – all those in section A – are based in London and the south-east. As ever, we would like to hear from parents who have used agencies of this calibre elsewhere in the country. We hope they're out there – we need to know who they are! If you'd like to recommend a tutorial agency do contact us.

WDBJ-TV, the CBS affiliate in Roanoke, VA, has converted its entire digital news production operations to a comprehensive Thomson Grass Valley shared-storage system for its daily newscasts.
The conversion includes multiple K2 Media Server and client systems; Aurora ingest, browse, edit and playout workstations; NetCentral monitoring software; and on-site training from Grass Valley engineers.
When the system is fully implemented within the next few months, the station's news department will bring stories to air faster and easier by leveraging the client/server architecture that supports IT-centric, file-based playout and distribution workflows and providing new levels of network control.
The entire Grass Valley Aurora suite of applications takes advantage of the Grass Valley K2 Media Server storage architecture. The various workstations located throughout the WDBJ-TV newsroom are linked to a Grass Valley Open Storage Area Network (SAN) environment based on the Grass Valley K2 Media Server. This infrastructure lets multiple users access the same files simultaneously. It also allows editors to begin working on the Aurora Edit system as footage is being digitized into the system and to get finished segments to air quicker.
WDBJ-TV purchased the system from Grass Valley dealer Digital Video Group.

The proliferation of digital channels opens up new opportunities for businesses that want to deepen relationships with existing clients and attract new customers. Social media platforms and the widespread use of mobile devices provide an affordable way to push out a steady stream of content to always-connected consumers and generate new business. However, many companies that are making the change from print-centric communication to digital content are finding that the transition isn't simple. The processes that are in place for creating, approving, publishing, distributing and tracking print-centric content don't scale when faced with omni-channel digital content.
Aug 22, 2003
iManage, Inc., a provider of collaborative content management software for enterprises, has announced a new release of its flagship iManage WorkSite suite. iManage WorkSite 8 is designed to add functionality to basic document management such as email management, data centralization, intranet/extranet support, and knowledge management.
Team Collaboration: iManage WorkSite 8 provides enterprises with a single online workspace where all such information can be stored, including documents, bills, notes, memos, email and other correspondence. Unlike paper files, this virtual project file is designed to be shared and accessed securely by clients and remote colleagues. A "My Projects" list is used to organize the workspaces.
Email Management: iManage WorkSite 8 addresses email management, a rising concern for every organization, through full support of iManage's Email Management solution. The new release enables outbound and inbound emails to be shared, stored, collaborated on, and captured as records in context alongside other forms of correspondence and communication within the project file.
Data centralization: iManage WorkSite 8 features iManage's new caching server, which allows firms to centralize their systems and create a single place for all of their content while giving users LAN-like performance and transparency even when accessing documents stored in remote libraries.
Intranets and Extranets: iManage WorkSite 8 provides an environment for creating and populating new sites. iManage has adopted the Microsoft .NET framework, C# and ASP.NET for the WorkSite 8 Web application to provide a next-generation platform for intranet and extranet creation; the WorkSite SDK is also now fully .NET compliant. Integration with Microsoft Office applications enables users to capture content in context and tag it for inclusion in an extranet with no extra steps. The same platform also provides a simple way to move content such as best practices and project files onto a firm intranet for access from any location.
Knowledge Management: iManage WorkSite 8 is designed to automatically capture searchable metadata such as client, project, and industry based on the folders in which documents are stored, with little or no profiling required of the user.
General availability of iManage WorkSite 8 is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2003.

Revealed - How US hunted Osama bin Landen to death in Pakistan
Islamabad: The Abbottabad Commission Report has unfolded the sequence of events that led the United States hunt for al Qaeda chief, Osama bin Laden, in Pakistan.
The Dawn reports that the arrest of Khalid Bin Attash, an Al Qaeda member involved in several pre 9/11 attacks, in 2002 from Karachi led to the first major breakthrough.
According to the report, Attash identified Abu Ahmed Ali Kuwaiti, Osama`s right hand man, who was with his family in Karachi in October 2001 and later moved to Peshawar, where Osama joined them in mid-2002.
The commission report further said that Osama later on moved to Swat where he was visited by Khalid Sheikh Mohammad who was arrested in Rawalpindi, prompting the scared Osama`s family to move to Haripur.
They all stayed in Haripur till 2005 and planned the move to Abbottabad.
Kuwaiti executed the plan by purchasing a plot in Abbottabad using a fake identity card and also supervised the construction of the house.
The commission has been told that OBL never had a phone line, an internet or cable connection either in Swat, Haripur or Abbottabad though a dish was used to watch Al Jazeera.
Dawn said that the commission has pointed out the violations committed by the residents of the Abbottabad House which remained unchecked by the authorities at the local level.
Those mentioned were a manual ID card used to purchase land, a third floor built in a fort type construction was in violation of the building plan, non-payment of property tax since 2005.
The commission has given recommendations to the Pakistani government focused on checking American activity in the country and averting operations by outside forces.

In the last of our series of essays celebrating winter, Kevin Norquay backpacks through Europe with his wife, young daughters - and a grumpy, old bear.
Snowdrifts, sleet, bleak grey skies, drizzle; our family exploration of wintry Europe piled layer upon layer of clothing on to the tiers of history and culture.
We stared at frescoes, churches, castles and canals from under beanies, tucked inside puffer jackets, nestled in thermal socks, on a once-in-a-lifetime trip after my London job was disestablished and we were ordered home.
With no choice as to timing, and no money coming in, two travel-loving parents press-ganged Kate, 8, and Tess, 6, into a budget mid-winter backpacking tour.
Four months after the 9/11 attacks, we set off on a never-to-be-forgotten romp through Nice, Florence, Rome, Venice, Salzburg, Cologne, Amsterdam and Bruges.
Others visiting those historic cities might first recall the statue of David, gondolas, Roman ruins and canals.
So do we, but our memories are embellished by long-john-enhanced itching, toboggan runs, snow fights and central heating always a notch too hot.
Nothing was more icy than the stares at Bad Gastein spa resort, an Austrian eye-balling which we mistranslated as admiration for our Hillary-like Kiwi courage.
As bathers wallowed like albino hippos indoors, we opted for a swim in an outside pool surrounded by snow, its borders sternly guarded by slippery ice.
All eyes turned to us as we slid open the door, then sprinted for our steaming sanctuary. As we went out, a polar blast swept in, its frosty tentacles clutching at our wallowing fan club.
Feet numb from scuttling across ice, we splashed down, laughing at our bravery, excited by swimming in steam so thick it obscured the other end of the pool.
Then the mists parted to reveal . . . a tunnel to the indoor pool. Sensible people were wading through, without risking frostbite, breaking a leg in a fall, or exposing others to potential hypothermia.
When we went back inside we slunk and avoided eye contact, remaining convinced wading was for dullards.
A spa and skiing resort, Bad Gastein was a highlight on our 25-day trip, with Tess noting in our diary "it should be called Great Gastein".
All of us penned a daily entry, taking turns at being the written voice of Tess's teddy, George. He proved to be a grizzly bear - while we loved Bad Gastein, George did not.
"Bah! The snow hasn't melted," Kate wrote on his behalf, aiming most of his vitriol at tobogganing. "Today I went to Bad Gastein. No wonder it's called that. I crashed many times, and got stuck in many trees."
Our tour diary is a family treasure, with its photos, tickets, postcards, and sellotaped-in euro coins, which came into circulation on day one of the trip.
We are recorded as eating at McDonald's in Nice (where the fries were shaped like a euro symbol), then in Rome, Assisi, Venice, Salzburg, Cologne and Amsterdam.
Kate was not one to experiment; McDonald's and fries were her "go to" option. As kids happily shunted down takeaways, parents stared forlornly at cafes where people sat sipping their espressos, nibbling the local cuisine.
Even with Rome, Florence and Venice - among the world's most romantic cities - our trip was free of adult themes; not with four crammed into one bedroom, stacked up in youth hostel bunks, or squeezed into tiny hotel rooms.
We had two rooms in Venice, a parent with each daughter. I got animal-obsessed Tess; I'd venture few have awoken in the City of Canals to "Dad, how big's a salmon?".
But what a trip it was. What memories we have. What bonds it forged, and what family folk stories it prompted.
Even George mellowed on the penultimate day in Bruges, where bears (not real ones) prowl shop windows, signs and business names, a nod to the legend touting a bear as its oldest inhabitant.
Our growing feeling George might like this beautiful Belgian city was confirmed at dinner, when our waiter queried: "Would George like a chair?" Getting a shy nod from Tess, he fetched one.
Asking "May I?" he gently slipped George into a high chair, giving him views across a table laden with frites (classy fries), mussels and beer.
"Today is the best day of my life . . . someone actually respected my importance by giving me my own seat at dinner," said George's diary entry (written by Kate).
Had he been of the polar variety, he might even have considered the rest of Europe bearable.
We will miss … Euros; gelato; leather (coats, bags, shoes); escalators that start when you step on them; town squares; St Mark's Square, Venice; car-free zones; fast trains; apple strudel; wine in jugs; cheap great red wine; fur coats; little dogs in shops; bidets for children.
We won't miss … Hard bread rolls; salt-free bread; waiting for trains; carrying heavy packs; overheating indoors; dimly lit hotel rooms; smelly fish markets; wearing long johns under clothes.

The Nazis can't even keep the National Socialist propaganda out of a simple science fiction fable. Hans Albers is the Aryan King Midas as a scientist, and gorgeous Brigitte Helm the Englishwoman who thinks he's peachy keen. The climax is pure Sci-Fi heaven, an unstable 'Atomic Fracturing' installation, wa-ay deep down in a mineshaft under the ocean. Gold (1934) Blu-ray Kino Classics 1934 / B&W / 1:33 flat Full Frame / 117 min. / Street Date June 14, 2016 / available through Kino Lorber / 29.95 Starring Hans Albers, Friedrich Kayßler, Brigitte Helm, Michael Bohnen, Ernst Karchow, Lien Deyers, Eberhard Leithoff, Rudolf Platte.

The Hardy Encyclopedia of Science Fiction still teases Sci-fi fans that want to see everything listed in its pages. Thankfully, videodisc companies catering to collectors make possible the sale of titles that might never show up on some (authorized) streaming service. Video disc has brought us the original Der Schweigende Stern and Alraune from Germany, and I hope to someday see good copies of Kurt Siodmak and Karl Hartl's F.P. 1 Does Not Answer and the Harry Piel Sci-fi trilogy An Invisible Man Roams the City, The World Unmasked (an X-ray television camera) and Master of the World (a robot with a death ray). I've read about Karl Hartl's 1934 Gold for at least fifty years, since John Baxter's Science Fiction in the Cinema told us (not quite correctly) that its final reel had been borrowed for the conclusion of Ivan Tors' 1953 Sci-fi picture The Magnetic Monster. As it turns out, Kino is releasing both movies in the same week. Sometimes referred to as the Nazi Metropolis, Hartl's Gold is a follow-up to the director's very successful F.P.1. Does Not Answer, a spy thriller about a fantastic airport in the mid-Atlantic called Floating Platform One. Both pictures were filmed in simultaneous foreign versions to maximize the box office take. The German original of F.P. 1 starred matinee idol Hans Albers (The Blue Angel) Sybille Schmitz (Vampyr) and Peter Lorre, while a concurrent French version used Charles Boyer, Danièle Parola and Pierre Brasseur. A third English version starred Conrad Veidt, Jill Esmond and Donald Calthrop. The French version starred Brigitte Helm in the same role, but star Hans Albers reportedly rebelled at making two movies for the price of one. According to reports, the exceedingly expensive Gold was in production for fifteen months. We can see the cost immediately in the enormous main set for the 'atomic fracturing' machine built to transmute lead into gold. Otto Hunte and Günther Rittau designed and filmed special effects for Metropolis and the impressive set is very much in the same style. Off the top of my head I can't think of any technical apparatus quite so elaborate (and solid-looking) built for a film until the 1960s and Ken Adam's outlandish settings for UA's James Bond films. Writer Rolf E. Vanloo had worked on the silent classic Asphalt and is the sole writer credited on the popular Marlene Dietrich vehicle I Kiss Your Hand, Madame. His screenplay for Gold is tight and credible, even if its theme is even more simplistic than -- and somewhat similar to -- that of Thea von Harbou for Metropolis. Scientist Werner Holk (Hans Albers) aids the visionary Professor Achenbach (Friedrich Kayßler) in testing what looks like an electric atom smasher. The experiment: to turn lead into gold. The 'Atomic Fracturer' explodes, killing the old genius, whose work is discredited. Holk barely survives, thanks to a blood transfusion from his faithful girlfriend Margit Moller (Lien Deyers). When agents for the fabulously wealthy Englishman John Wills (Michael Bohnen) contact Holk, he realizes that the experiment was sabotaged. Werner allows himself to be taken to a fabulous yacht and from there to a Scottish castle, where, hundreds of feet under the ocean, Wills has constructed his own, far larger atom smasher with plans stolen from Achenbach. Split between his need for revenge and a desire to prove the dead Achenbach's theories, Holk goes through with the experiment. Wills' daughter Florence (Brigitte Helm), a gorgeous playgirl, is attracted to the German visitor, Holk finds that the workers' foreman, Schwarz (Rudolf Platte) is of a like mind on economic issues. But Wills' engineer Harris (Eberhard Leithoff) is jealous of Holk's talent, and cannot be trusted. Gold begins by repeating the 'big money hostile takeover of science' theme from Fritz Lang's Frau im mond: a pioneering German scientific exploit is siezed by an unscrupulous international business entity. The unspoken message is that the weakened Germany is being cheated in the world economy because it lacks the resources to exploit its superior technology. The avaricious John Wills makes big financial decisions all day long. There's no gray area in this conflict, as Wells murders, steals and spies on people to get what he wants. We've seen his ruthless agents wreck Achenbach's original, modest experiment. This 'England plays dirty' theme mirrors Germany's bitterness toward England for at least the better part of a century of colonial, naval and financial competition. Versailles and WW1 aren't mentioned, but that had to be on the minds of the audience as well: Germany innovates and works hard, but is consistently handed a raw deal. The scenes with the sleek, fascinating Brigitte Helm would be better if they went somewhere; her Florence does what she can to entice Herr Holk but withdraws when he declares his love for his faithful girl back home, the one whose life blood now flows in his veins. 'Das Blut' cannot be dishonored, even if Holk is half convinced that Wills is going to have him murdered after the giant machine starts turning out Gold by the ton. Act Two instead becomes a conflict between Big Capitalism and the lowly-but-virtuous Working Man. Down in the underground warren of tunnels (another Metropolis parallel) Wills' Scottish workforce of sandhogs and technicians side with Holk against their boss. After a preliminary test yields a tiny bit of gold, we get the expected montages of worldwide economic panic, standard material in socially oriented sci-fi as diverse as La fin du monde and Red Planet Mars. Wells plans to grow rich by flooding the world with his artificially produced gold, a strategy that will have to be explained to me. Gold is the world's standard of value precisely because it's rare; it can't be printed up like money. Thirty years later, the surprisingly sophisticated scheme of Auric Goldfinger is to increase the value of his stash of gold bullion by rendering America's gold reserves radioactive, and therefore worthless. If scarcity raises the value of the element, making more should do the opposite. (On the other hand, what about artificial diamonds? Is there any correspondence there?) [I'm acutely aware that discussing the subject matter of movies mainly points up how much I don't know, about anything but movies.] The Incredible Holk convinces the mob of workers that he represents their interests better than the greedy John Wills. The idea that rich English capitalists need to be rejected in favor of honest German morality is the only real message here. It's as simple as the 'heart mediating between the hands and the brain' slogan of Metropolis, but with a slightly arrogant nationalism added. The lavishly produced Gold was filmed on a series of truly impressive sets, including Wills' enormous Scottish mansion. But the giant setting for the climax, deep in a mine under the ocean floor, is the stuff of core Sci-fi. Millions of volts of electricity are harnessed to transmute lead into Gold. That's got to be a heck of an electricity bill; factor in the other enormous overhead costs and we wonder if Wills will ever turn a profit. The special effects for this sequence are sensational. The enormous apparatus is suspended on huge oversized porcelain insulators. The giant glass tubes atop the specimen stage are apparently visualized with mattes and foreground miniatures. But the camera pans and trucks all over the hangar-sized set; it all looks real, with bolts of electricity flashing like crazy. It's a dynamic special effect highlight of the 1930s. The actors sell the conflict well. Beefy Hans Albers sometimes looks like George C. Scott. He exudes personal integrity and a calm force of will. Lien Dyers is as wholesome here as she was wantonly sexualized six years earlier in Fritz Lang's Spies. Michael Bohnen is more than convincing as a powerful man trying to corner all business on an international scale. Although mostly in for decoration, Brigitte Helm is a sophisticated dazzler. Those penciled eyebrows remind us that she had become the Marlene Dietrich that didn't go to Hollywood. Although she did have offers, Helm wanted to stay in Germany. The Nazification of the film industry and the appalling political climate motivated her to leave for Switzerland in 1935, abandoning her career. Although the gist of Gold fits in with Josef Goebbels' National Socialist propaganda aims, the movie doesn't attack England directly. Ufa may have held hopes of foreign distribution. The one man in Scotland that Holk knows he can trust is the captain of Wills' yacht, a fellow German. Nine years later, Josef Goebbels' anti-British version of Titanic would make a German the single ethical person in authority on the doomed ocean liner. The fellow is constantly badmouthing the craven captain and the venal English ship owner. When Hans Albers finishes this movie with a ten-cent moral about love being the only real treasure, the show seems plenty dumb. But that amazing special effect set piece is too good to dismiss so easily. Gold is a classic of giddy '30s science fiction. The Kino Classics Blu-ray of Gold (1934) is a good encoding of the Wilhelm Murnau Stiftung's best copy of this once-rare item. The print we see is intact and with has good audio, but the contrast is rough. It shifts and flutters a bit, especially in some scenes in the middle. I did notice that the final special effects sequences looked better than much of the rest of this surviving print. But the parts of the movie repurposed for The Magnetic Monster look better on that 1953 science fiction film than they do here. In his book Film in the Third Reich David Stewart Hull explains that when the occupation forces reviewed the recovered German films, they ordered this one destroyed. They were concerned that the Alchemy / Atomic Fracturing machine might have some connection to Germany's wartime nuclear program. So how could Ivan Tors have bought the footage from Ufa, if the U.S. Army had seized it? I have a feeling - just idle speculation -- that it might have been obtained in a special deal made through government connections. Since the image looks much better on The Magnetic Monster, Ivan Tors might even have cut up Gold's only existing printing element to make his movie. After finally seeing Gold, one more thing impresses me besides the grandiose special effects. It's sort of a 'brain-drain' movie. In the '30s, Germany had a reputation for the best precision engineering in the world. Werner Holk is semi-kidnapped to serve John Wills' greedy science project, which was pirated from Germany in the first place. Also in awe of German scientific prowess is Brigitte Helm's Florence. The playgirl finds Werner Wolk's brilliance and clarity of mission irresistible. He's both smarter and more ethical than her father. Holk just stands there looking like he's posing for a statue, and Florence is carried away. Ms. Helm is terrific, but it would be nice if her character had a more central role to play in the story. On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor, Gold (1934) Blu-ray rates: Movie: Very Good Video: Fair + This may be a rare surviving print. Sound: Good - Minus Supplements: none Deaf and Hearing Impaired Friendly? Yes; Subtitles: English Packaging: Keep case Reviewed: June 10, 2016 (5137)

The Locarno Film festival will fete U.S. "King of the B's" Roger Corman, who is expected to attend and hold an on-stage conversation at the Swiss fest dedicated to indie and cutting-edge cinema.
Corman, who is 90, has agreed to make the trek to Locarno as guest of honor of the fest's Filmmakers Academy, which provides training for young directors. The festival, now in its 69th edition, runs from Aug. 3 to 13.
The tribute to Corman will comprise screenings of his 1962 school desegregation drama, "The Intruder," starring William Shatner as a rabble-rousing racist, and 1964's "The Masque of the Red Death," based on a short story by Edgar Allen Poe, top-lining Vincent Price.
"As director and screenwriter, [Corman] made a long series of films whose low-budget model combined principles of quality and popular appeal in unprecedented ways," the fest said in a statement.

Review by Adrian Smith
When I Love Lucy debuted on American television in 1951, nobody could have suspected that it would become one of the most beloved shows of all time. Across six seasons Lucille Ball and her real-life husband, Cuban band leader Desi Arnaz, shared their lives with millions. At the time it was the most watched show in the United States, and undoubtedly helped fuel TV set sales during the decade. It has also been repeated constantly since, and sold around the world. Now, almost sixty years since the final episode, it is possible to go back and view it all from the beginning.
Keeping their own names helped further blur the line between the show and reality in the minds of the audience, and watching Desi and Lucy every week felt like you were spending time with real friends. For the most part the situations played out in »

Cornell Woolrich is a writer whose work was much loved and cherished by fans of film noir. The Internet Movie Database lists 102 credits for him for both film and TV shows—titles including "Rear Window," "The Bride Wore Black," "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," "Black Angel," "Fear in the Night," and "Phantom Lady," He didn't write any screenplays that I know of. The films and TV shows were all adapted from a prolific output of stories written under his Woolrich and William Irish pseudonyms, and under his real name, George Hopley.
While Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain make up the Big Three in noir fiction, Woolrich carved out a special niche for himself. Chandler, and Hammett wrote about tough guy heroes who usually overcame the web of evil they encountered. Cain's heroes weren't always so lucky, but at least »

I know it's blasphemy in these parts to speak ill of Mad Men (cue 90% of you automatically clicking away in disgust) but I could never really get into it because it felt too slavishly obsessed with 60s posturing - I love Mid-Century Design as much as the next Eero Saarinen disciple but I couldn't ever see the forest for the tulip chairs. That said, the new Patricia Highsmith adaptation A Kind of Murder (from the 1954 book The Blunderer, kind of a suburban copycat criss-cross of Strangers on a Train) makes Mad Men seem positively restrained in its period affectations - how you manage to turn a walking talking charm like Patrick Wilson into a walking talking turtleneck I'll never figure.

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city's most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you're not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we're of the mind that it's time extremely well-spent.

Welcome back for the next installment of our monthly feature here at Daily Dead, "Deadly Dialogue: A Conversation on Cinema", where we'll be catching up with notable folks from the horror and sci-fi genres—both in front of and behind the camera—to discuss the films that inspired them to become the artists they are today.
For over 30 years now, Robert Englund has been a beloved fixture in the horror genre due to his timeless performance as the iconic Freddy Krueger throughout eight Nightmare on Elm Street films (including Freddy vs. Jason) as well as numerous roles in countless other notable films during his illustrious career. When asked about what initially inspired his love of cinema, he talked about his Encino childhood and how his fascination with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea first captured his imagination.

The pedigree of John Huston's "The Maltese Falcon" doesn't need to be explained. It's one of the greatest film noir pictures ever made, one of Humphrey Bogart's best movies too, and there are really not enough superlatives to laud the Oscar-nominated movie. If you've seen the movie, chances are it's been on home video, or if you're lucky, you managed to capture a repertory screening at some point.

Back in September, X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer took to his Instagram page to announce his next project, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The news came as quite a surprise to most fans, but the director reiterated that he isn't abandoning the X-Men universe. We never heard any further updates since then, but today Deadline reports that the director has now closed his deal with 20th Century Fox, which has given 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea a green light for a fall production start. Here's what the director had to say in a statement, confirming some of the original characters from Jules Verne's novel.

He designed and/or wrote, directed, produced, etc., dozens of films – titles ranged from The Thief of Bagdad to Invaders from Mars – from the late 1910s all the way to the mid-1950s. Among Menzies' most notable efforts as an art director/production designer are: Ernst Lubitsch's first Hollywood movie, the Mary Pickford star vehicle Rosita (1923). Herbert Brenon's British-set father-son drama Sorrell and Son (1927). David O. Selznick's mammoth production of Gone with the Wind, which earned Menzies an Honorary Oscar.

Being one of the top character actors of American film and television must be the ultimate double-edged career sword.
On the one hand, if you're good — and the late Ed Lauter was one of American cinema's great character actors — you work all the time. On the other hand, as Lauter told Shock Cinema magazine back in 2010, "Sometimes people don't know my name. They'll say, 'Oh, yeah! There's that guy! You were in … Jesus Christ … you were in … in …' So, in a way it's good — and in a way it's bad."
Lauter was not alone in his plight. He and his fellow character actors who consistently deliver the goods have been a mainstay of American cinema since the days of the Hollywood's "stock players," a moniker that devalues the work of great performers from Hattie McDaniel to Peter Lorre, from Sidney Greenstreet to »
