- DirectorJon FavreauStarsWill FerrellJames CaanBob NewhartRaised as an oversized elf, Buddy travels from the North Pole to New York City to meet his biological father, Walter Hobbs, who doesn't know he exists and is in desperate need of some Christmas spirit.Also starring: Mary Steenburgen, Edward Asner, Daniel Tay, Faizon Love, Peter Dinklage, Michael Lerner, Andy Richter, Artie Lange, Ray Harryhausen, Jon Favreau, Peter Billingsley (uncredited)
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsElias McConnellAlex FrostEric DeulenSeveral ordinary high school students go through their daily routine as two others prepare for something more malevolent.Also Starring: Carrie Finklea, Alicia Miles, Kristen Hicks, Nathan Tyson, Benny Dixon , Timothy Bottoms, Matt Malloy, Wolfgang Williams, Caroline Donovan Boyd
Gus Van Sant borrowed the title from Alan Clarke's film of the same name, and thought that it referred to the Chinese proverb about five blind men who were each led to a different part of an elephant. Each man thinks that it is a different thing. What Clarke's title actually referred to was the idea of the "elephant in the room", where something is so obvious that to miss it would be the equivalent of not seeing a huge elephant in an ordinary room, yet is still not recognized out of either stupidity or willful ignorance. In this film, the "elephant in the room" is the homicidal rage of Alex and Eric, which leaves them free to precipitate the last-scene massacre at their school.
The characters that appear in the video game played by Eric are from Gerry (2002). This film, Gerry (2002) and Last Days (2005) form Gus Van Sant's "Death Trilogy", which he edited himself. This film centers on death at the hands of a stranger.
Towards the end of the film, Alex drinks from a random glass in the abandoned cafeteria. This is a nod to an image from the CCTV surveillance footage from the actual Columbine Highschool massacre, where Eric Harris can be seen drinking from a glass found on a lunch table.
This film is heavily influenced by the Alan Clarke TV drama from 1989 of the same name (_"Elephant" (1989)_). Both films chronicle senseless killings and contain many long and wandering takes of its main characters.
At one point Alex and Eric watch a documentary about Hitler on TV. The Columbine High School massacre, upon which this film is based, occurred on April 20th 1999, the 110th anniversary of the birth of Adolf Hitler. - DirectorJames SignorelliStarsRodney DangerfieldJoe PesciGeraldine FitzgeraldTo inherit his mother-in-law's colossal fortune, a hard-living gambling addict must change his unhealthy ways before they get the best of him.Also starring: Val Avery, Tom Noonan, Taylor Negron, Lily Haydn, Jeffrey Jones, Tom Ewell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jeff Altman, Kimberly McArthur, Walt Gorney, Frank Vincent (uncredited)
The first theatrical feature film that actor-comedian Rodney Dangerfield was seen in after his breakthrough cinema movie role in Caddyshack (1980) about three years earlier.
Promotional title logos for the picture seen on film posters and promo materials formed the letter "S" out of a "$" symbol character in the movie's Easy Money (1983) name.
The picture was notable for featuring a title song track of the same name sung by popular singer-pianist-composer-songwriter Billy Joel. The catchy tune bookends the movie, is heard on the film's trailer, and was included on Joel's 1983 album "An Innocent Man". The "Easy Money" song according to an interview with Joel is a homage to both James Brown and Wilson Pickett.
The conditions of the will that Monty Capuletti (Rodney Dangerfield) had to adhere to for one year were No Smoking, No Philandering, No Gambling, No Drugs, No Alcohol and that he must weigh no more than 175 pounds, which was interpreted as No Overeating. Movie posters for the film stated conditions not actually mentioned in the film. These were No Cheating, No Booze (substituting for No Alcohol), No Nothin', and No Pizza, though the latter did relate to the weight/overeating clause. Jokingly, a class action from public paying audiences against the film's marketers for false advertising could have eventuated.
The name of the song that Monty Capuletti (Rodney Dangerfield) sang at his daughter's wedding was the traditional Italian tune of "Funiculi, Funicula" by Luigi Denza and Peppino Turco with the latter billed as G. Turco (as with his birth name of Giuseppe Turco).
Debut cinema movie directed by James Signorelli. The picture is the first of only two theatrical feature films [to date, June 2014] directed by Signorelli, the other being Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988). Signorelli's career has predominantly been in video and television.
The scene in the movie where Monty (Rodney Dangerfield) sees his female neighbor topless is different in the picture's trailer where she is seen wearing a bikini top.
During the scene where Rodney Dangerfield is watching TV and flipping channels, you can hear "All we need is one pin, Rodney!" which is from a Miller Lite beer commercial starring Dangerfield.
Bill Murray was originally cast in the role of Paddy but dropped out with the part in the end being cast with Tom Noonan.
The last names of the "Capuletti" family characters, headed by "Monty Capuletti" aka "Montgomery Capuletti" (Rodney Dangerfield), and the Monahan family, headed by Mrs. Monahan (Geraldine Fitzgerald), were a spoof and a reference to the names of the two feuding families in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet", the Montagues and the Capulets. Easy Money (1983)'s story-line features familial conflict between Monty and his mother-in-law. - DirectorBurt ReynoldsStarsBurt ReynoldsSally FieldDom DeLuiseSlapstick black comedy about a man (Reynolds) who finds that he hasn't much longer to live and has bungled his attempts at suicide.Also starring: David Steinberg, Joanne Woodward, Norman Fell, Myrna Loy, Kristy McNichol, Pat O'Brien, Robby Benson, Carl Reiner, Harry Caesar, James Best, Peter Gonzales Falcon, Frank McRae, Alfie Wise, Jerry Fujikawa, Jock Mahoney, Carolyn Carradine
James Best, who served as associate producer and has a small part as a pacemaker patient, was hired by Burt Reynolds to rewrite the script to make his character more in-depth.
This movie represented the reuniting of old Hollywood stars Pat O'Brien and Myrna Loy. The two, who play Burt Reynolds' parents, had previously starred together in Consolation Marriage (1931) 47 years earlier.
Second theatrical feature movie directed by Burt Reynolds.
Robby Benson plays the supporting role of Father Dave Benson in this picture. Star Burt Reynolds would later star in Benson's movie Modern Love (1990).
In this movie, the surname of Robby Benson's character, Father Dave Benson, is the same as his real last name.
First major teaming of comedy duo Burt Reynolds' and Dom DeLuise. The two had appeared in Silent Movie (1976) but were not "teamed" as such. They would make a number of other pictures together, including Smokey and the Bandit II (1980), The Cannonball Run (1981), The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) and Cannonball Run II (1984).
This movie is one of a handful of pictures that Burt Reynolds made with his 1970s girlfriend Sally Field. In every movie they made together, Field played Reynolds' girlfriend. The four movies are: Smokey and the Bandit (1977), Hooper (1978), Smokey and the Bandit II (1980) and The End (1978).
Norman Fell plays Burt Reynolds' doctor, Dr. Samuel Krugman. Fell also played Reynolds' doctor, Larry, in Paternity (1981).
As Sonny is going to look in the ICU, the hospital speaker says "Dr. Cambern, please call intensive care" and "Dr. Cambern, never mind." Donn Cambern was the film's editor.
Sally Field's one and only feature film appearance with step-father Jock Mahoney
This script was originally written for Woody Allen - DirectorAntoine FuquaStarsDenzel WashingtonMarton CsokasChloë Grace MoretzA man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him cannot stand idly by when he meets a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters.Also starring: Haley Bennett, Bill Pullman, Melissa Leo, David Meunier, Johnny Skourtis, Allen Maldonado, Robert Wahlberg, Nash Edgerton,
- DirectorDoug LimanStarsTom CruiseEmily BluntBill PaxtonA soldier fighting aliens gets to relive the same day over and over again, the day restarting every time he dies.Also starring: Franz Drameh, Jeremy Piven (uncredited)
Edge of Tomorrow is based on the manga and novel 'All you need is kill' by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.
While filming the car chase scene which includes a mini-van, Emily Blunt was instructed to drive fast and then to take a right hand turn so that the van would shake. However, Blunt missed her mark and she drove the car right into a tree. She later said that it was both hilarious and terrifying, as she almost killed Tom Cruise, who was in the passenger seat, but both of them started laughing after the incident.
Emily Blunt admitted that after putting on the metal suit, she started crying because it was so heavy (it weighed 85 pounds) and that she would be required to perform action scenes in it for 5 months. She was jokingly told by Tom Cruise to 'stop being such a wuss'.
In the original book, they're invading Tokyo, Rita is an American nicknamed "Full Metal Bitch," and Cage is a Japanese man named Keiji Kiriya, nicknamed "Killer Cage" by the end.
During the opening credits, Tom Cruise's character is making a statement on the upcoming Operation Downfall. The room behind him is NORAD command from the movie WarGames (1983).
Operation Downfall, the name the movie gave the planned invasion, was in fact a real planned invasion: the final invasion of the Japanese Home Islands to end World War 2. The real Operation Downfall never happened, as the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought about the surrender of Japan.
Jeremy Piven's character was added during re-shoots and ended up on the cutting room floor.
Emily Blunt's character is named Rita, a possible nod to the love interest Rita from Groundhog Day (1993).
Kick Gurry's character "Griff" asks Cage "Where's your helmet?" during one of the many times that he's helping put on the armor. During the entire movie Griff is not once seen wearing a helmet, even during combat.
Tom Cruises' character's name "Cage" is a reference to the fact that he's trapped in a time loop.
In two of the time loops, when Rita Vrataski walks out with her squad and hits a man, the man says "Bloody Hell, its the Full Metal Bitch!". This is a reference to Rita's nickname "Full Metal Bitch" in the novel on which the movie is based.
The kiss between Cage and Rita before the final battle was unscripted and a surprise to Tom Cruise and the director, with Emily Blunt saying afterwards, "It just felt right. It felt right and I did it."
An alternative, darker ending was considered for the film as follows: As they approach Paris in the drop-ship, Cage briefs the soldiers that they must not kill an Alpha or it will cause a time loop and "we'll be right back here having this conversation, and we won't even know it." During fighting, one of the soldiers gets separated, then confronts and kills an Alpha. The audience sees the Omega reset the day and witnesses the same conversation as before about not killing an Alpha, but then an attack starts and the audience knows that the Mimics have the upper hand as the movie ends. The actual released movie has scenes in the drop-ship where the soldiers are reviewing Cage's warning and one says "Do not kill an Alpha or we'll never even know we had this conversation and they'll know we're coming". Also, when the Mimics begin firing on the ship, somebody yells "They know we're coming, Cage!" These scenes were probably filmed for the alternate ending. - DirectorScott DerricksonStarsLaura LinneyTom WilkinsonShohreh AghdashlooA lawyer takes on a negligent homicide case involving a priest who performed an exorcism on a young girl.Also starring: Colm Feore, Kenneth Welsh, Duncan Fraser, JR Bourne, Mary Beth Hurt, Henry Czerny, Shohreh Aghdashloo
Father Moore: Once you've looked into the darkness, I think you carry it with you for the rest of your life.
Based on the true story of Anneliese Michel, a young German woman who suffered a similar fate to the fictional Emily Rose in the 1970s, and "The Exorcism of Anneliese Michel", an account of the subsequent court case by expert witness Felicitas D. Goodman, an anthropologist called in as an expert on possession. Michel's parents and the two priests who performed her exorcism were prosecuted, though the prosecution asked that the parents be excused from punishment as they had "suffered enough". Ultimately, the accused were found guilty of manslaughter resulting from negligence, and the two clergymen were sentenced to six months in jail (which was later suspended) and three years of probation. The most significant differences are that Michel periodically fasted for several months as part of her exorcism and remained on medication until her death, while the fictional Rose was incapable of eating due to demonic forces and decided herself to stop taking her medication with the consent of her care-providers. The story was heavily adapted for cinematic purposes.
