How economies work – and don't
not exactly Georgism, the Single Tax on land value proposed by Henry George. He did, tho', inspire most of the real-world implementations of the land tax that some jurisdictions enjoy today, and modern thinkers to craft geonomics. While his name and our remedy both begin with "geo" since both words refer to "Earth", the two have their differences. (a) George pegs land monopoly as the fundamental flaw while geonomics faults Rent retention. (b) To fix the flaw, George was content to use a tax, while geonomics jettisons them in favor of price-like fees. (c) George focused on the taking while geonomics headlines the sharing. George envisioned an enlightened state judiciously spending the collected Rent while geonomics would turn the lion's share over to the citizens via a dividend. (d) And George, as was everyone in his era, was pro-growth while geonomics sees economies as alive, growing, maturing, and stabilizing. Despite these differences, George should be recognized as great an economist as Euclid was a geometrician.
shaped by reality. In the 1980′s, the Swedish government doubled its stock transfer tax. Tax receipts, however, rose only 15%, since traders simply fled to London exchanges. Fearing a further exodus, the Swedish government quickly rescinded the tax altogether. (The New York Times, April 20) That willingness to tax anything leads us astray. Pushing us astray is that unwillingness to pay what we owe: rent for land, our common heritage. Assuming land value is up for grabs, we speculate. We cap the property tax on both land and buildings and the rate at which assessments can go up; while real market values rise quicker, assessments can never catch up. Our stewards, the Bureau of Land Management, routinely sell and lease sites below market value, often to insiders, says the Government Accounting Office. Once we grasp that rent is ours to share, we'll collect it all, rather than let it enrich a few, and quit taxing earnings, which do belong to the individual earner. That shift is geonomic policy.
a manual. The world did not come without a way for people to prosper, and the planet to heal and stay well; that way is geonomics. Economies are part of the ecosystem. Both generate surpluses and follow self-regulating feedback loops. A cycle like the Law of Supply and Demand is one of the economy's on/off loops. Our spending for land and resources – things that nobody made and everybody needs – constitutes our society's surplus. Those profits without production (remember, nobody produced Earth) can become our commonwealth. To share it, we could pay land dues in to the public treasury (wouldn't oil companies love that?) and get rent dividends back, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Doing so let's us axe taxes and jettison subsidies. Taxes and subsidies distort price (the DNA of exchange), violate quid pro quo by benefiting the well-connected more than anyone else, reinforce hierarchy of state over citizen, and are costly to administer (you don't really need so much bureaucracy, do you?). Conversely, land dues motivate people to not waste sites, resources, and the ecosystem while rent dividends motivate people to not waste themselves. Receiving this income supplement – a Citizens Dividend – people can invest in their favorite technology or outgrow being "economan" and shrink their overbearing workweek in order to enjoy more time with family, friends, community, and nature. Then in all that free time, maybe we could figure out just what we are here for.
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
an answer to a rarely asked question. If price is a reward for production, why do we pay for land, never produced by any of us? What is land price a reward for? Good behavior? How much money do we spend on the nature we use? Who gets it? What do they do with it? (If you answer all these correctly, you're not a genius but a geoist.) The worth of Earth is enough that were we to collect and share it, we could abolish taxes on the goods we do produce. For example, San Francisco's Redefining Progress has calculated that Cali-fornia could abolish all state and local taxes were it to collect the values of resources and of using na-ture as a dump. By exorcising the profit motive from depletion and pollution, rent collection could replace bossy regulation. Economies could self-regulate, as the rest of the eco-system does. See how big problems yield to big answers when we ask the right questions?
a scientific look at how we divvy up the work and the wealth, how some of us end up with too much or too little effort or reward. That's partly due to Ricardo's Law of Rent, showing how wasteful use of Earth cuts wages. And it's partly due to how a society's elite runs government around like water boys, dishing out subsidies and tax breaks. While geonomists look political reality right in the eye, without blinking, conventional economists flinch. When Paul Volcker, ex-chief of the Federal Reserve, moved on to a cushy professorship at Princeton cum book contract, the crush of deadlines bore down. So Volcker asked a junior associate to help with the book. The guy refused, explaining that giving serious consideration to policy would ruin his academic career. The ex-Fed chief couldn't believe it and asked the department chair if truly that were the case. That head honcho pondered the question then replied no, not if he only does it once. And economics was AKA political economy!
what you do when you see economies as part of the ecosystem, following feedback loops and storing up energy. Surplus energy – fat or profit – enables us to produce and reproduce. To recycle society's surplus, the commonwealth, geonomics would replace taxes with land dues (charged to users of sites and resources, in-cluding the EM spectrum, and extra to polluters), and replace subsidies with rent dividends to citizens (a la Alaska's oil dividend). Without taxes and subsidies to distort them, prices become precise, reflect accurately our costs and values; then, motivated by no more than the bottom line, both producers and consumers make sustainable choices. While no place uses geonomics in its entirety, some places use parts of it, most notably a shift of the property tax off buildings, onto locations. Shifting the property tax drives efficient use of land, in-fills cities, improves the housing stock, makes homes affordable, engenders jobs and investment opportunities, lowers crime, raises civic participation, etc – overall it makes cities more livable. Geonomics – a way to share the bounty of nature and society – is something we can work for locally, globally, and in between.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.

Diane Keaton to Receive Golden Icon Award at Zurich Film Festival
Diane Keaton will receive the coveted Golden Icon Award at this year's Festival. In addition to receiving ZFF's Golden Icon Award, Keaton will present her latest film, the romantic comedy AND SO IT GOES, directed by Rob Reiner and co-starring Michael Douglas, which has been selected to screen in the Gala Premieres section of the Festival. The Golden Icon Award will be bestowed to Diane Keaton at cinema corso on the evening of October 1, 2014.
Diane Keaton is an accomplished author, director, photographer, producer and Academy Award® winning actress. Jumping between drama and comedy, Keaton has starred in over sixty feature films including some of the most prolific movies of The Past forty years, including: THE GODFATHER trilogy, ANNIE HALL, MANHATTAN, LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR, REDS, BABY BOOM, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB, and SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE.
ZFF Gala Premiere AND SO IT GOES
The romantic comedy AND SO IT GOES, directed by Rob Reiner and written by Mark Andrus, tells the story of grumpy realtor Oren Little (Michael Douglas). Willfully obnoxious to anyone who might cross his path, Little wants nothing more than to sell one last house and retire in peace and quiet. While he's awaiting his big real estate break, he's biding his time in the waterfront four-plex building he owns surrounded by Neighbors who have formed a close-knit community that he mostly avoids. Even kindly Leah (Diane Keaton), who persists in inviting Oren, gets rebuffed. Oren's life gets turned upside-down when his estranged son Luke (Scott Shepherd) appears out of the blue, asking him to temporarily care for the nine-year-old granddaughter Sarah (Sterling Jerins) Oren never knew existed. Oren grudgingly agrees to take her in but quickly pawns her off on Leah. Over time, Sarah's need for love and affection bring Oren and Leah closer and allow them to see different sides of one another. Little by little, Oren begins to open his heart - to his family, to Leah, and to life itself.

What's That Movie?
Movie Lover At Your Service
"What's that movie with that guy that did that thing with that one girl? Oh, and it was set in high school back in the 80s?"
Have you ever asked someone a similar question? Well, I might need a little more information than that but I am pretty good at identifying movies. Lord knows I've seen my share of them and then some!
I'm a Movie Geek!
With a library of at least a thousand movies and an incessant urge to perpetually expand my collection to infinite proportions, I am a certified movie geek!
So be my guest, utilize my useless knowledge and ask away. If I do not know the answer off the top of my head I will do my best to find the answer for you (or someone else might beat me to it by answering in the comments section ).
Just type your question in the comment box at the bottom of this page (NOT in the "Ask a Question" box on the right-hand side of page ). Sorry if it takes awhile for me to answer. I am not on the net 24/7. Your question could be answered in mere minutes or it may take a few days. Bookmark this page and keeping checking back.
Please do not use the "Ask a Question" box on the right-hand side of this page!!! That is for a different function and not for this specific hub.
Helpful Hints for Your Movie Search
There are lots of ways to search on IMDb. You can search by title, actor, plots and keywords. The latter two are the best ways to search if you have that pesky unknown movie in your head. It may take some time and patience but you will find your movie most of the time using these search tools on IMDb.
Also, click on your search engine's "Search Tools" or "Advanced Search" button. There you can filters to narrow down your search.
All In Good Fun
I know what you are thinking, "I'm on the Internet where all answers are just a mouse click away, so why in the hell do I need to ask Imadork about a movie?!?!"
You probably don't need to ask me, I just thought this would be a fun hub. Who knows though, maybe you are too lazy to search or don't know how to go about searching with the info you have. I don't care, I just enjoy movies and I find pleasure in helping people rid themselves of that frustrating feeling of the total lack of recall.
Go ahead, ask away!
This hub has been quite popular lately. Due to the increase in questions and my own personal problems of late, I have been unable to keep up. A huge "Thank you" to all readers that have picked up the slack and answered open questions! Most notably Patrol the Skies, who seems to be an even greater movie geek than yours truly! Go check out his YouTube page here:
Although I'm not as active as in the past I am still around, so keep posting your questions! If I don't get to it, chances are someone else will. Check back periodically to see if your questions was answered.
Be Nice
Scroll through other people's questions. If you know it, answer it. Just make sure you specify the name of the questioner to eliminate confusion.
If you post a question but then find the answer on your own later, please come back and tell me. That will save me from wasting time searching for your movie.
FYI (cuz I'm starting to develop a pet-peeve) - When posting a question, if you know about how old the movie is, please add that bit of info. Telling me that it came out when you were young does not help me when I don't know how old you are.

People are still trying to ask their questions using the box below my picture and contact information despite the many mentions within this page not to. So I'll add another one.

Help Me Please!!!
I have been searching the internet for some time for a film, and am fairly versed about Google searches. Unfortunately I don't really know any of the usual details about the film (Director, Actors, Year etc). I can tell you the rough plot and guess a few details though:
Year: Would guess between mid 70's-mid 80's (I was young when I watched it, born in '83)
Country of origin: Would guess USA, but maybe UK
Rating: Would guess a PG or U
Story: A boy is being bullied by kids, he is into all things flight and aviation. He is befriended by a man in a shabby shack who turns out is also into planes. The two of them become friends and build model aeroplanes (propeller and white, I believe). They bond over this. If I remember correctly the climax of this film has the 2 of them flying off in a real plane to help him escape his bullies (similar to the model) which the man had hidden in his shabby shack.
Help ME!!!
Father and daughter in probably victorian dress trying to get to old English mansion.tree on fire blocks road. Little girl skips around fountain or birdbath singing nursery rhyme. Ghost boy makes friend with little girl.she wears longish frilly nightgown.shown in afternoon late 90s or early 2000s.

@Roger Schumacher
This might be it. Shoot to Kill - 1988. With Sidney Poitier. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096098/?ref_=nm_flmg_...
A man hunt for an unseen bank robber begins. They fallow him to a group of people going up on a climb.
I guess this one is from the nineties. It is about a group of hikers / strollers who climb a mountain. Once they are high above the ground one of them (who had been acting strange on the way up) pulls out a revolver and forces everyone to dump down to their death, which would be at least a fall of 100 feet / 30 meters. The last guy doesn't want to but the man points the gun at his face and slowly forces him of the cliff, causing him to fall too. The police finds the bodies (which are all still in one piece, but bloody) and a manhunt begins.
This is a war movie which is probably made in the 60's. I remember a scene where two soldiers are sitting in a jeep or a small military truck. They are having fun but then the other one mentions that there is a bomb in the vehicle. This one walks or runs away while the other one stays surprisingly calm. The bomb explodes and the dying soldier says his last words to the other.
@ Bill m.
Could it be a movie with Chinese actor Stephen Chow?

Wanting to know the name of a specific movie I saw a clip of once on 20-1 but could never remember the title to be able to watch it.
It's about a man that commits murder and ends up in a mental asylum. Turns out he has split personalities and half the time is one person and the other half is the 'evil' side of himself….??

I think I saw this movie on Netflix probably 2 year ago. I'm pretty sure it very thought inducing especially at the end. I think it began with a girl in a teacher's class room and I think the student was in love with the teacher. The girl then made cupcakes for a bake sale at the school and she poisoned hers and killed herself. Not much too go off of but just cant think of anything else.

Does anyone recall a movie where to actors are dancing facing each other spinning in circles and the camera angle only shows there faces and the guy starts getting dizzy and starts making funny faces bc there spinning to fast...def not an older movie .. Not older than late 90s .. Any ideas
do you know the name of the movie that was shown on showcase earlier this week. it was about a woman who cataloges an entire estate for a man named hunter. it was a christmas movie i believe
So my mum let me stay up late to watch this movie with her when I was little (I'm 18 now) and even then it looked a little bit old. All I can remember is it's about a boy who looks around 12... but he's also a mouse or a rat?? Like, I can't remember whether this goes as far as him actually having whiskers or anything, but it might. At the beginning of the film I think he's going through some bins, and then I think in the middle of the film scientists are doing some experiments on him, and they electrocute him. During this, another scientists says to the one doing the experiment "what is it" to which he replies "I don't know, but it didn't like that" because the boy let out a loud mouse like squeal.
@Steph - He had one more day to live:
"Eight Days to Live" (2006) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491356/
I believe it was a TV movie--the actor who played a lawyer and went back in time to high school days.
This guy maybe early 20s is driving, but he falls asleep and then his parents are looking for him for a long time and they find him at the very end when the car drove off the road and hit a tree in the woods but the guy isn't dead. I thought it was called 7 days to live but i can't find it anywhere. I think it's like a late 1990s or early 2000s movie but I'm not too sure
@Mark SparklFarkl - That would be:
The Jerk (1979) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079367/
What is that movie where they live in the bottom of the quarry and the guy and girl go there to see them and they live in an olds inroad caboose car? It's got a good soundtrack, but very random
This may be a movie from the 70´s or the 80´s (maybe european) maybe older I´m not sure, I watch it when I was 15/16yo, and never found it's name nor catch it on tv ever again...
Iit was about a young man (17-20 somethings), a street urching/street hustler/petty thief who is taken in by a rich old man in a wheelchair, the man provides him with fancy food, shelter on his mansion & fancy clothes in exchange of living through him by making him perform all kinds of sexual acts with 1 o more women and to seduce regular women on the streets while he watch.
One time the man in the wheelchair tries to make the guy perform s&m, by whipping a young female prostitute, but the guy doesn't have the guts to whip her and instead asks to do the masochist part himself with the girl whipping him. Next scene, he is strapped to the bed, face down, the doors opens but is not the girl, instead standing with s&m gear is a large man (possibly the rich cripple's butler/henchman), noticing this the guy starts to scream to making stop, and the man in the wheelchair gives the order to stop (the is not even touch).
The butler/henchman looks like a BOND movie Thug, tall, big and muscular, like a "HANS-HENCHMAN" type. I think I saw hime carrying around the old man on his arms inside the house on several occasions, but I am not sure.
After a while the man in the wheelchair asks the guy to seduce women on the streets and take them to bed, he leaves the guy on a mall or something like that, where the guy tries to approach a few girls, but when he does that he is interrupted by a young perfume store female clerk who tries to sell him some perfume and sprays him against his will (This is not a Cute-Meet she does it on purpose and she acts really annoying towards the guy).
The guy wants to call it quits for the day, but the man in the wheelchair tells him to try and seduce the perfume girl, the guy follows her after her shift ends, she notices that and confronts him in a park or plaza I think, asking directly what he wants, the guy tries ask her out clumsily, and the girl rejects him, the guy insist and she tells him that she "only dates guys with a huge penis" and demands him to show her his penis right where they are, the guy is shocked speechless and after a few seconds of weird silence the girl goes away.
The man in the wheelchair is very disappointed at his performance and basically fires him, the guy begs to stay and the old man tells him he can stay but he cuts all of his privileges (clothes, food, etc.) this punishment is enforced by his butler/henchman, that afternoon the guy is informed they will be having a guest, to be exact his replacement, the guy is not happy and when the dinner is serve his replacement is revealed to be the perfume girl who is now dressed in a fancy dress and wearing very expensive jewellery courtesy of the man in the wheelchair, the guy is denied a place at the table and is only allowed to sit on the floor like a dog.
That's all I can remember about this movie, never got to watch the end I was late for High School. Please I've looking this movie for over a decade now. Thanks.
What's that movie where a guy leans in to kiss a girl and then just licks the length of the side of her face??
@ Cobb I just figured it out thanks though!!!
I asked another question a while back never got an answer ... Does anyone recall and fight scene in a actionn movie where two guys get into a fight and basically it ends with the guy the wins smashes the other guys face in to a scanner/office copier and then it shows copies of the guys face coming on out paper ?
@Sean B
There are probably quite a few movies with a scene like that - can't thin k of one now though.
However, the TV-show 'Moonlighting' (1985-89) had a scene like that practically in every episode! :)
Does anyone recall a movie where there's a classical scene where two actors get into an argument then both yell fine! Fine! Then slam there own doors ??? Or maybe it's from a show??
@Dgrub ~ Hope and Glory (1987) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_and_Glory_(film)
@d510r9 ~ No. 1: Looker (1981) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looker
No. 2: Runaway (1984) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_(1984_film)
This could be a rather difficult one. I saw this movie on TV in the mid 1980's as a young lad.
The opening credits had some synth music, laser lights & smoke, and a number of topless models on revolving circular platforms.
A guy would break into occupied expensive apartments, and flash a strobe light thing into a woman's eyes, which somehow made them willingly throw themselves off their balcony. That's it, that's all I've got!
I also thought it had a guy with a gun that had bullets that could go around corners, but I think that's another film all together with mini robot critters and killer microchips.
I was made to go to bed as a kid and had always been curious to see the whole movie (most probably as a kid semi nudity burned into my brain :).
I have no doubt it's terrible but would love to know the name of it and see the whole film.
@MrsAllen05 - could it be Earth vs. the Spider (2001)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0282178/?ref_=nv_sr_2
a woman wanted to see her husband, she tried to ask to an officer but the officer wanted to see her naked first before he told the woman where her husband is. Then the woman starts to unbuttoning her shirt
Saw this film years ago when i was a little kid, all i remember is at the end its quiz show and this little kid has put something in his opponents water or something to make him stutter, and the guy still wins and the kid gets caught?
Old movie wife thinks husband is trying to kill her. There is a scene with a straight razor gleaming on a bathroom sink with hot water steaming from faucet, wife in bedroom. Think there is also a scene with them both on a cliff ledge. Thought title had in it "naked edge or ledge"
@ra55ja - Your movie goes by several titles:
"Jack Frost" / "Father Frost" / "Frosty" (1964/1965)
@Maria - Your movie is:
"Chasing Christmas" (2005)
I think you're talking about "The Invisible"
Hello, I saw movie on TV 15 years ago. I'm not sure whether it was english language or other as it was dubbed in hindi(India), how ever it appeared to be european. The plot was about a girl and her family, she had a father, step mother and step sister (not sure it appeared they were step). Her mother didn't love her, btw! the girl was really beautiful. They lived in cold region, full of snow, wore thick warm clothes. One day she goes with her father in woods to find husband(sounds weird but yes it happened), they were travelling in a vehicle dragged by horses in snow. She falls from vehicle and gets lost in woods where a witch captures her and story goes on where her hero rescues her. Meanwhile, at home her step mother sends her daughter into woods to find a husband. I remember the end scene where our heroine returns from woods happily with her husband, whereas her step sister return without any husband but crows and everyone laughs at her. Thats all I remember, hope you could find it. Thanx!
I'm losing my mind trying to remember the name of this movie, here are all the details I remember:
1. The main character is a good student, the actor has medium length brown hair
2. The girls name in the movie starts with an A... I think. Something like Anna or Annie??
3. Basically Anna/Annie get's in a fight with the main guy of the story in a forest, the main guy says 'You're still broken', Annie kicks him in the face and thinks she killed him. They hide the body in the woods but he's caught in limbo and follows Annie around as a ghost trying to convince her to lead people to his body because he's still technically alive.
If you know the name of the movie PLEASE let me know! It's driving me nuts!
Hi just found out the title of the film i was thinking about it is the caller 2011
There is a christmas movie that is a spin of the usual scrooge story.
There are the three ghosts. The charge is a heavy set male actor with a teen daughter. The dead friend of the charge died from being impaled(i believe by a swordfish). The ghost of christmas present is played by a tall blond. She cannot remember the past. The ghost of christmas past is played by a very short actor with glasses who loves to smoke and drink. He has grey hair. They have to use magical items to get around through time (i think it is a candy cane). Christmas past wants to stay in the past and so travels through the charges past. The charge and ghost of the present has to get past's candy cane so they can return to the charges current time. They go to a ski resort where the charges honeymoon was and he sees his wife cheat on him. He and christmas present have a romantic scene in a hot tub and there are crazy scenes in a bar. They go to a time when the charge is young and he meets himself as a child. They go to his daughter's play where he catches his wife cheating on him. I believe the charge's name is jack.
Misc- the ghosts work for a company.
If the company is not successful that christmas, they will be in a lot of trouble and get shut down.
The ghost of christmas future does come into the movie but has a small role compared to the other two.
One of the scenes they take a car that is not locked bc in that time "nobody locks their cars" and the key is kept inside the car. Jack and the ghost of present fall in love.
Could it be 'Falling Down' you mean?
@EB - You are most welcome! Good movie.
YESSSSSSSS THANKS @cotopaxi!!!!!!!
@MrsAllen05 - This is a reach, but check out:
"Horrors of Spider Island" (1962)
@jan graham - @MystMoonstruck is spot on with "Magnificent Obsession" and I imagine your aunt is adding in the wheelchair part from "An Affair to Remember" (1957) into the mix as well.
@EB - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (1945)
.80s movie about a father who tries to make perfect kids. I don't remember if he puts something in their heads or just cooperates.
old black and whit movie about a poor family living in a building (mother, father, son, and daughter) mother becomes pregnant, father is a happy drunk. One day the father and daughter go on a walk in a nice neighborhood and the daughter convinces the father to let her go to a a nicer school in a nicer neighborhood. Winter comes and the daughter and son bring home a Christmas tree. End of the movie father gets drunk and dies. ANY IDEAS??????
looking for a movie set in Nazi war where dad goes off to fight and mom deals with teenage daughter and young son. They hide in their bomb shelter during air raids. Daughter goes to a dance and draws lines up the back of her legs because they couldn't afford panty hose. Later they find canned pie filling but mom is afraid it's poisoned. A parachuter lands in the town?
I'm trying to find this movie I saw a while back on TCM. It's set in around the 1880's-ish in England. The movie is about a man who is sort of wealthy, I think he is a Lawyer...I think. I don't remember specifics, but something happens to him in which he has to ask for the help (or work along side) of one his maid's. Through the process he ends up falling in love with the maid that had work for him; also he ends up getting arrested somewhere in the process I think. Another thing about the movie is that it is split up into two perspectives. The first Perspective is his and the second is the maid's ( her last name was Doolittle-But it is NOT the movie My fair lady) . It was a really good movie, not stuffy or to mushy-mushy romantic, it was actually kind of funny and light. I also thought it was unique how they told the same story through each of the main characters perspectives, because the audience was able to view the same situations through two different view points; those kind of thing was not really common with older movies. It was in color and it looked like, based on how everything looked for instance make-up, and the movie's quality, that the movie had to have been made sometime in the 60s maybe early 70s (the movie was SET in the 1880's). Please help!!!! I really would love to see this movie again!!!!!
Okay, this one's a horror movie, from either the late '70s or early '80s.
A guy and a girl are being chased through a house by some sort of monster. They lock themselves in a bedroom and jam a chair against the door for further protection, then they try to get out via the window. The girl manages to get out onto the roof, but before the guy can escape the monster breaks down the door and gets him.
Ring any bells with any of you?
@Linda1972 ~ You're welcome! That's the very first scene that came to mind, and I was happy to find the scene on YouTube.
@melinda ~ For a next-door neighbor who does that, here's another possibility: Someone Is Watching (2000 TV movie) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203929/
The woman has an adopted son who has, what she believes to be, an imaginary friend.
@Lanie ~ I'll try this one: Nowhere to Hide (1994 TV movie) From IMDb review: Sarah Blake is pending a divorce from her wealthy husband; in the upcoming settlement, she stands to make a fortune. Obviously, her husband doesn't like the settlement and decides to take matters into his own hands. As a result, Sarah is taken into a protection program in order to escape a contract taken out on her. In charge of defending her is a special agent who goes to great lengths to keep her completely hidden. // I think the twist is as you describe. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110695/
@jan graham ~ If she was blind and not in a wheelchair, I'd think it was this: Magnificent Obsession (1935 b&w) and (1954 color).
@Adam ~ Treasure of the Four Crowns (1983) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084781/
This was released during filmmakers' second try at 3D movies; the first time was in the Fifties.
Hi, My aunt who is 90 was telling me about a movie she watched when she was young about a man who is involved in a car crash with a woman and the woman is harmed, ending up in a wheelchair. The man becomes a surgeon so he can help her walk again and he and she fall in love. Any help?
@Melinda i wonder if your daughter is thinking of Hider in the House from 1989 with Gary Busey, Mimi Rogers and Phil McKean
My daughter wants to know the name of a movie she remembers watching where a guy, possibly mentally ill, hid in the walls of a house to spy on a woman. Seems like he lived next door
Hi, my son is trying to remember a movie about a guy who turns into a spider at night. He wants to get revenge so he kills all the people that have wronged him. In one scene a lady was walking to her house and as she was unlocking the door he came up behind her and ate her. He take what's left and puts them on his web to save for later. His webs were from one house to another and he would have all of the people he killed on the web. He said the movie takes place in a city. It's not Spider-Man, Mimic, the fly because I looked them up and he said those aren't it.
@Poppy82 - Sounds like Body Shots (1999)
@Tajytaj - Adventures in Babysitting with Elisabeth Shue
What's the movies where two Italian restaurants were across the street from each other
This was a film about a guy who goes to work every day - but he doesn't actually work at the office he goes to. He just pretends and goes there even though he doesn't have a job. Not much to go on I know.
So I think it was an 80s movie. There's a girl that loses her glasses and while she is looking for them (really practically blind without them) she picks up what she thinks is a cat but it's actually a rat. A maintenance guy lets her know that it's not a cat. Ring a bell? Comedy.
im 40 yrs old i saw this movie as a child early or mid 80s movie cant remember who stars in it all i remember is group of people or a man whos looking for a crown or jewles in a castle or ancient place and he becomes possesed and shoot fireballs from eyes "the fireballs" look like the ones from the movie "Firestarter"
Does anyone know the title of a movie where an abused wife files for divorce and her rich husband sets her up for breaking a custody arrangement court order. Wife has children in car,returns home and shots are fired (possibly be estranged husband). Wife flees with children. Goes on run, meets up with FBI agent who offers to help her and kids on run. Takes her credit cards and ID. They move frequently. She falls in love with FBI agent. Then after several months, agent just disappears. Turns out it was all a scam by husband to make her break court order and lose custody of kids. ( It was all financed by wife's credit cards). She has no proof it was a scam. Possibly a USA or Lifetime movie. Do you know title? Thanks
This is for a friend. In the movie a person is transformed into some kind of ugly pig-like creature kept in a cage. The scientists feed him through a small hole. The ending has one of the scientists holding the pig-thing and giving it a shot which kills him, I'm guessing a mercy killing? My friend doesn't know how the film began but is pretty sure that's how it ends. He also thinks it might be from the '90s.
I watched a movie about a group of friends on a night out. At the start guy and a girl hook up, she says its rape he says it was a hook up. You then see different parts of the night from different peoples perspectives and then at the end are left contemplating who is telling the truth. Anyone know the name of the movie?? Thanks
Thank you MystMoonstruck, that was the movie!!
Movie I think the woman was French and was dating an older man . She got sick of the relationship and decided in order to fulfil herself she would allow people to have an amount of time with her to do what they wanted . She played a patient to a couple who were playing doctor .
A sheriff is Drinking and looking at missing person reports, then he gose to the persons house he thinks is reponsible. he kills the man in cold blood, then the ones who were kidnapped gets Out. and starts killing everyone in town, it becomes a slughter there either mutants or something else i do not know. but the sheriff and the rest of his family and there friends make it to the police station were his son or brother or something fallows them and kills them off one by one.
"Grave Encounters"(2011)
Anyone know the name of the movie about a reality show that stays in a supposed haunted asylum and the asylum turns out to actually be haunted and the place changes a lot and kills the members of the reality show? There is also a sequel. TIA
It's possibly a black and white film about a young black man who goes into the city and meets two older women in a diner at night.
@Leanne - This movie has a scene like you describe:
"Joyeux Noel" (2005) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424205/
Does anyone know the name of the classic war film where the two sided have a truce to play football on Christmas day??
@ Adamtv... thank you too, for the info! It's possible that I made a mistake, but thanks for supplying me with further info to research!
@ MystMoonstruck...thank you for the info! I will research it further.
For some reason, after reading your description, this movie popped in my head. It's The Spitfire Grill (1996). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117718/
This just a guess. I might be way off.
Can anyone help with a comedy movie where there's a part where an actor gets upsetting news and runs away with his arms flaying like he's retarded and look like noodles .... It's not ace Ventura ... and makes a funny moan ... Not an older movie
movie in which a girl arrives in a rural woodsy town with a secret (I think that she's had a baby and it died but not sure) and I think a store or cafe owner (a woman) takes her in. I think there are two men of interest: one is a forestry guy or similar and the other is perceived as odd and lives in the woods. Help! Grasping at straws!!! Thanks
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much. I have spent countless hours online trying to figure it out. I only saw the first little bit and wanted to see the whole thing. Like the movie, I too have serious memory losses and my wife is always there for me. Thanks again
Maybe "Control"(1987)
12 subjects are locked in a nuclear fallout shelter to see how long they can endure before mental breakdown occurs. After the experiment Dr. Herbert Monroe (Burt Lancaster) tells the world about this terrifying experiment and its outcome.
"Beautiful Dreamer"(2006)
Anyone know the name of the movie where a young man falls asleep in bathtub and starts dreaming of robbing banks? In this movie him and his girlfriend would rob banks and destroy mortgage records. Citizens of towns would hold signs asking them to rob their bank.
there are these movies came out like late 90's early 2000's about this girl sorta like nancy drew but not
I'm looking for the name of a movie or tv show that was set in the 40-50's. I thing the main guy was in the army and was presumed dead. While traveling through a small town his fiancé's car broke down. When she went into the local restaurant she found her fiancé were still alive. He was working as a handyman or mechanic. He also lost his memory and did not remember her
Long time ago I had watched this movie I believe in the 80's..At the beginning their ate people on a bus..Mother and boy, husband and wife with girl, other people who arrive at a certain destination.. Sorry can't remember.. The people were promised money. I believe they all had to live together and not go outside. One of the rules..Once in awhile while underground locked in or where ever it was a news reporter would come on..I believe at the end the news showed things outside going in kaous.. Some wanted to unlock door to go help some didn't.. In the end the news story was all fake..It was like an experiment of what they would do..Weird details..lol..All I can remember...Sound familiar to anyone? Thank you
That scene with the fingers reminds me of a movie that was made in 1995.
Rob Roy was the name. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114287/
The actor was not Albert Finney, it was Brian Cox that did the deed. I don't think Tom Jones had such a scene. And Albert Finney is not in Rob Roy at all.
@Ryan ~ Oops! That guy doesn't live alone. So, that's not going to be right. I've seen a lot of Finney's work, but I don't recall anything like that.
@Ryan ~ Nothing like that happens in "Tom Jones"! The character is nothing like that though he does get along quite well with women, so to speak. However, an older Albert Finney played a rather degenerate fellow in "The Green Man" (1990 TV miniseries/British). I have read only a synopsis of the novel, and there is a lot of sexuality in it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098813/
This is just another guess.
@Linda1972 ~ That could be Kelli Maroney in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" (1982). Here's the film clip on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLTTugZ4BIw
She's especially memorable as one of the two surviving sisters in "Night of the Comet" (1984) in which she also is a cheerleader.
I am trying to find a mid to late 1980's movie that had a character that lived in a plywood box next to a beech shop in California. This guy was the wise guru to a younger guy wanting to be a success in the movie business.
@Sarena houser
"That Was Then...This Is Now"(1985)
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help!

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Identifcation of flower in a bouquet
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:My boyfriend bought a bouquet and I'd like to know the name of the kind of green flower that looks like a mum but the petals look like rich, full grass or like a tall shag carpet. It has a stem with leaves so I imagine it is a flower but it is green.
ANSWER:From your description I don't recognize this as a flower from a North American native plant. Our focus and expertise at the Wildflower Center are with plants native to North America. The fact that this flower is in a bouquet that your boyfriend bought at a florist also leads me to believe it isn't a native plant. I suggest that you either take the flower, or take a picture of the flower, to a local florist. They are likely to know what it is. If you think it is a native plant, however, please take photos and send them to us—we will do our best to identify it. To read instructions for submitting photos, please visit Mr. Smarty Plants' Plant Identification page.

Flags of Hezbollah, Assad's Syria 150.
(photo credit:REUTERS/Ali Hashisho)
This week saw a sharp escalation in the emerging confrontation between the Syrian Sunni rebels and the Lebanese Hezbollah organization. This conflict is the result of Hezbollah's increasingly visible engagement in Syria on behalf of the Assad regime.Syrian rebels for the first time this week fired rockets into the Hezbollah controlled Hermel region, adjoining the Syrian border. Two Lebanese citizens were killed and a number of others wounded, as rockets landed in the villages of al-Qasr and Hawsh al- Sayyed Ali. The rebels took responsibility for the attacks, saying they were targeting Hezbollah-controlled sites in the two villages.The firing on the villages was clearly an attempt by the rebels to send a message to Hezbollah and Lebanon. Namely, that if Hezbollah continues to involve itself in the civil war in Syria, the traffic will not all be one way.The Sunni rebels now apparently feel strong enough to take the fight back across the border, hitting at Hezbollah's heartland. The rocket fire was accompanied by a statement by the Syrian National Coalition. The Western, Turkish and Gulf-supported coalition regards itself as the political leadership of the rebel side in the war; the Arab League and a number of Western states recognize it as the legitimate leadership of Syria. The statement included a confirmation of rebel responsibility for the rocket attack and noted that the attack came in response to weeks of Hezbollah assaults on villages across the border. The statement included a demand that the Lebanese government "exert control over its borders and put an immediate stop to Hezbollah's military operations on Syrian territory."The Lebanese government, for its part, has issued a complaint to the Arab League, protesting against what it referred to as "border violations."Hezbollah claims that it has no sizeable commitment of fighters in Syria.Rather, the movement admits to training forces belonging to an initiative known as the Popular Committees.These local Syrian Shi'ite fighters, the movement claims, requested help to defend themselves against Sunni rebel attempts at ethnic cleansing.So what is really going on? A glance at the map of Syria offers the answer.Hezbollah claims to be offering support to the 15,000 Shi'ite residents of villages adjoining Hermel, but on the Syrian side of the border. These villages lie close to the city of Homs, still mainly controlled by the regime. The border is poorly demarcated, and barely controlled by border authorities.But the movement's real interest in this area goes beyond concern for the residents. It is a vital strategic location.If the rebels were to gain control of it, this would drive a wedge between the capital city of Damascus and the Alawite majority area on the western coast.The Shi'ite-populated area adjoins the Homs-Damascus highway. The western coastal area, which contains the ports of Tartous and Latakia, would be the probable destination for the Alawite "hard core" around dictator Bashar Assad if the capital city were lost. It is where the families of many of the Alawite officials in Damascus reside.But for it to be reachable from Damascus, the regime needs to keep control of the highway. So Hezbollah, its claims to be protecting a Shi'ite community notwithstanding, is also performing a vital task for its allies.There is also self interest involved.Were an Alawite enclave on the coast to come into being, it would act as a vital conduit for the continued supply of arms to Hezbollah from Iran. Control of Tartous and Latakia, and of a contiguous ground link to Lebanon, would enable the transfer of Iranian weapons to Hezbollah, even if Assad were to lose Damascus. An Alawite enclave that lost this area would still border Lebanon to its south – but the border area further north is populated mainly by Sunni and Christian Lebanese. So Hezbollah is also defending its own supply lines with its incursion into Syria.The confrontation in Qusayr, meanwhile, is only one part of what looks like an increasing deployment of both Hezbollah and other pro-Iranian Shi'ite Islamist fighters into Syria. Prorebel sources attribute this to the regime's depleting number of homegrown fighters on whom it can rely.They maintain that recent attempts by Assad to recruit reservists have produced only meager results. The Saudi Al-Arabiya channel noted a claim that 1,200 Hezbollah fighters arrived to Syria this week by a sea route, landing in Tartous. The report said that thideployment was part of a much larger process, in which fighters from Iraq and from as far away as Pakistan were also arriving to aid the dictator.Clear evidence has emerged that Hezbollah fighters have fought and died in Damascus.Officially, they were there to defend the Shi'ite shrine of Sayyida Zeinab in the city. But more practically, the Lebanese Shi'ite fighters are part of a general concentration by the regime of its most able forces to defend the capital. This has included the redeployment of top army units to Damascus, and the increased presence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps. The rebels claim that all this constitutes a last-ditch defense by Assad, who can no longer rely on sufficient numbers of Syrians to fight for him.But at least as of now, Assad continues to hold up quite well. The despot and his regional allies are in effect creating an insurgent-type army to fight against the insurgency. Crewed by fighters loyal to Iran and Assad on sectarian and ideological grounds, this force can be relied on to fight to the end. Its emergence is testimony to Iran's unyielding determination to hold its position and assets in Syria.A general mobilization of Iranian regional allies on behalf of Assad appears to be taking place. As a part of it, Hezbollah is heading further and deeper eastwards, even at the risk of provoking a response on the part of the increasingly powerful Sunni armed presence in Syria.It is a gamble. Then again, as a proxy of Iran, Hezbollah probably has little choice but to obey the mobilizing call of Tehran.

Today's schedule
4 p.m. — "Slipstream": Director Anthony Hopkins is scheduled to attend the screening.
7:30 p.m. — "A Tribute to Anthony Hopkins": The Welsh-born actor, best known for his Oscar-winning portrayal of Chianti-swilling killer Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs," comes to SIFF to receive a lifetime achievement award. The evening will include a collection of clips from Hopkins' career, an onstage interview and a screening of one of his finest performances: his subtle, soulful work as a perfectly controlled butler in the 1993 Merchant/Ivory drama "The Remains of the Day." Advance tickets for this event are sold out, but a few last-minute rush tickets may be available; get in line early.
Harvard Exit
5 p.m. — "Outing Riley"

4:15 p.m. — "A Friend of Mine"
7 p.m. — "Doghead"
9:30 p.m. — "Crazy Love": There's just no explaining some couples. Take the marriage of Linda Riss and Burt Pugach. He stalked her for years, hired thugs to throw lye in her face (and blind her) — and still got her to say "yes" when he proposed a wedding. Dan Kloves' provocative documentary covers their relationship from 1957 (when they met) to 1974 (when they married) to the present. Driven by interviews with the couple and their friends, it's unavoidably a talking-heads film, but home movies help to fill out their story, and so do their appearances on several famous talk shows. The lively soundtrack includes, inevitably, "You've Really Got a Hold on Me," with its eerie refrain, "I don't like you, but I love you." 92 minutes. (John Hartl)
SIFF Cinemas
5 p.m. — "Aqua"
7 p.m. — "In the Shadow of the Moon": An audience prizewinner at this year's Sundance Film Festival, David Sington's first-rate documentary concentrates on stories told by the astronauts who walked on the moon between 1969 and 1972. The wide-ranging interviews have plenty of heart and humor, as well as a touch of spirituality. But the film's most overwhelming emotion is nostalgia for a time when an unpopular war had not dampened worldwide enthusiasm for American courage and ingenuity. 100 minutes. (J.H.)
9:45 p.m. — "Strike"
