Week 7 - 'Asia Extreme'? Cultures of globalisation II There are some frighteningly detailed web resources on the Ring series of films, books, remakes, merchandising, etc. - the best is ringworld (which includes interviews with Hideo Nakata, director of Ring and Ring 2, and Gore Verbinski, director of the Hollywood remake The Ring. There's also a useful translation of the script and a set of FAQs for both the Japanese and the US versions - should you interest become more obsessive... On which subject, have a look at The Ring Cycle, which has some useful synopses of the films and an interesting visual comparison between some key shots in the various versions. There's a good interview with Hideo Nakata on the Offscreen website -unfortunately it's called 'The "Ring" Master', but it sure beats Kermode's 'Eastern visionary'... Tuesday, March 16, 2004
Week 6 - Film reviews In this week's lecture, I'll be referring to a recent article (in Scope, the online film journal) by Martin Barker about using film reviews (and other 'ancillary materials') in film studies - 'News, Reviews, Clues, Interviews...'. Monday, March 08, 2004
Week 5 - 'Our Jackie': Cultures of globalisation I Bright Lights have republished a back issue on Hong Kong action films for anyone interested in following up this week's lecture. A whole series of papers are available here, including the texts and Jackie Chan interviews referred to in the lecture... Alive and Kicking Also Aaron Anderson's excellent essay on Jackie Chan is available at the Jump Cutwebsite - Violent dances in martial arts films Tuesday, March 02, 2004
Week 4 - 'London, England': Stars, location, romance There's a selection of sites on Notting Hill available via Amelie.com - including the official site and a fan site (probably the best) called The Travel Book Co And pretty much most things you'd want to know about Julia Roberts can be found via juliarobertsonline.com |
