Student Prince- Was Wallace Warfield Simpson Viewing this? ***
I always thought that Mario Lanza did not get the lead role as he was
too heavy at the time the film was made. Edmond Purdom does an excellent dubbing of Lanza and of course, Ann Blyth is terrific as the bar-maid, singing beautifully, although she will lose her love at the end. While viewing this film, I naturally thought of King Edward of England, who gave up his throne for Wallace Simpson, the woman I love. I guess that Sigmund Romberg didn't want this kind of end for his light operetta. Louis Calhern is wonderful as the venerable grandfather who tells his grandson that he is speaking to him as his king and not his grandfather;therefore, it's his duty to marry the woman who has been chosen for him. Of course, the Romberg music is wonderful. Those renditions of Deep in My Heart and Drink, Drink are so memorable and touching. The ending will tug at your heart. Blyth sings while love slips away. Were you watching Wallie Warfield Simpson? If you did, you must have counted your blessings.. ljcepek watch Snatch. movie

The Expendables:
When there’s a dangerous situation in the world that the military can’t — or won’t — handle, maybe you can hire the Expendables. They’re the toughest bunch of hombres you’ll ever find. Led by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), the team consists of Ross’ right-hand man, British knife fighter Lee Christmas (Jason Statham); martial arts expert Yin Yang (Jet Li); heavy weapons man Hale Caesar (Terry Crews); and demolitionist Toll Road (Randy Couture). No longer with the team is sniper Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), who was rather brutally shown the door after going nuts on a mission. Back at their home base in Louisiana former team member and now full-time tattoo artist and professional pussy hound Tool (Mickey Rourke) arranges for Barney to meet with the mysterious Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) for their next assignment. Church offers the Expendables the demoralizing yet lucrative task of invading the tiny South American island nation of Villena and overthrowing its power-hungry dictator General Garza (David Zayas). For the small fee of $5 million, Barney accepts the job and goes with Lee to Villena for reconnaissance. Once there they meet their contact, beautiful local rebel Sandra (Giselle Itie), and get a ground-level view of the battle that’s tearing the country apart. Garza is in cahoots with rogue ex-CIA agent James Munroe (Eric Roberts) and his associates Paine (“Stone Cold” Steve Austin) and The Brit (Gary Daniels) to fund his cash-hungry nation with the money from the sale of drugs grown on the island. Garza doesn’t like that he’s the puppet of greedy Americans but in order to maintain his grip on his crumbling kingdom he has no choice but to do Munroe’s bidding. Ross and Christmas make their presence known and are forced to flee while Sandra stays behind. Returning to the States Barney is prepared to refuse the mission, but after a soul-searching discussion with Tool soon realizes that he’s not about to let Sandra and her people suffer so he can keep his own ass out of the fire. With Lee and the rest of the Expendables in tow he returns to Villena armed and ready to take out Garza, Munroe, and anybody else that stands in his way.

Tron: Legacy
Back in the '80s, home computers were the cool new thing, and we imagined all sorts of things about them. When the original Tron put forth the premise that programs inside the machine could look like tiny people, enacting arcade video games, and that Jeff Bridges could be zapped by a laser and reformed as a living code in the grid...we kinda bought it.
Years later, we're a bit savvier. But you can't do a Tron sequel without that key notion, so here's the deal: If you find incredibly stupid the notion that programs inside a computer network can look, live and behave like people, or that people can literally become programs and vice versa, go no further. If you can roll with it, though, you're probably gonna have a good time. It's a bit like The Matrix sequels without the self-importance, and with a broader color scheme.
It would seem that seven years after the events depicted in the first film, Bridges' über-hacker Kevin Flynn vanished, leaving his kid Sam a delinquent prankster and biker, and leaving software giant Encom without a decent CEO. Now 27, Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund, adequately stoic) gets a visit from his dad's old pal Alan (Bruce Boxleitner) to say he received a page from the old Flynn's Arcade, which has been shuttered for 20 years but apparently still has full working electricity once you hit the breakers.
Sam is zapped into the computer world and into the middle of a power struggle between his considerably weakened dad and the old man's ageless computer avatar, Clu (Bridges' digitally face-lifted mug on a body double). Having been designed to create a perfect system, Clu has become a virtual fascist, purging every detail he deems imperfect, while failing to realize that this behavior in itself is inherently imperfect.
The de-aged Bridges face on Clu works well enough but feels just slightly off-kilter, in a scarily artificial way that matches the character. What doesn't quite work is when we see young Flynn in flashbacks, and he looks exactly the same as Clu.

Student Prince Is a realey good movie,its a story of how life shoud'nt be for a prince when it come's to chosing a between love and duty.It also has the wonderful voice of Mario Lanza .

The Firm is an analogue to The Stepfprd Wives, and should have been called 'The Stepford Lawyers'.
Basically more Hollywood B.S., although I suppose half-way entertaining in the Hollywood way. .

\"The World's Greatest Love Musical Newly Glorified in Color Gaiety in the Magic of Cinemascope!\"
This was one of the great MGM musicals of it's day. But for me, what
really makes it shine are great character performances and memorable lines: For example, the opening scene; the royal valet Lutz, expertly played by character actor John Williams (1902-1983); he is sent to fetch the royal tutor Professor Juttner, played by Welsh born actor Edmund Gwenn (1875-1958), best remembered as Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street. "Late as usual, Professor Juttner!", Lutz scolds. "You're a teacher and you can't even tell time!" "Small minds tick by the clock, my dear Lutzy!" "But the Prince is always punctual!" "Yes, that's what I've been trying to do, educate him out of it!" Because of his military upbringing, Prince Karl walks, talks and even dances with firmness and precision. He's informed by his grandfather that the treasury is empty and the only way to save the dynasty is to marry into money. The much anticipated event finally arrives, the royal reception to announce the engagement of Prince Karl to Princess Johanna of Northausen. It's not until after dancing with the ramrod-straight prince that it become's clear to her that this isn't going to work out. "Prussian virtues are impressive but cold comfort on a long winters night", she tells him. The princess' grandmother, Queen Matilda, played by character actress Evelyn Varden (1893-1958), tells the king, "Yohanna is interested in a husband, not a Prussian machine!" "You've taken a perfectly good boy and turned him into a Prussian pickle". "Warmth and Charm!", bellows the king, marvelously portrayed by Louis Calhern (1895-1956), best remembered as Buffalo Bill in Annie Get Your Gun. "That's what you need, warmth and charm!" So, it is decided that he attend Heidelberg University to meet people his own age and introduce him to "the graces of living". Upon arrival at the Heidelberg train station, Lutz and his luggage are immediately lifted up and passed from student to student and carried away. Dr. Juttner remarks, "Well, I don't know if Lutz will enjoy Heidelberg, but Heidelberg is certainly enjoying Lutz!" When the royal entourage arrive at the inn, they are greeted by innkeeper Joseph Ruder played by the unforgettable Hungarian-born character actor S.Z.(Cuddles) Sakall (1884-1955). A veteran of German, Hungarian and British roles, The Student Prince was to be his final film role but what a memorable one it was, (sheesh!) He died the following February at the age of 71. The students are in the courtyard singing and drinking bear and we are introduced to the innkeepers niece Kathi, played by the charming Ann Blyth(1928-present) Early in their relationship, Karl asks her to treat him as an equal, and she responds, "That's impossible, after all you're a prince and I work here." He says, "Don't worry so much about my reputation." And she says, "Oh no your Highness, it's MY reputation I'm worried about!" At first he thinks of her as just "the ordinary women one might encounter on maneuvers". But after she pushes him away and he falls down, he quickly find out, she's not that kind of a girl! Nearby, Lutz witnesses "the assault" and reports it to Uncle Ruder. "In Karlsberg, what your niece dared to do, she would be beheaded!" "Please, heir Lutz, you and me, we are men of the world." "I am not!" "Neither am I, I'm just trying to make a living!" So, Uncle Ruder finds a job for Kathi as a waitress in a restaurant across the river. Karl finds out and goes over to bring her back. He then creates a commotion to get her fired. She's angry with him, but while walking back through the park he shows his devotion for her by singing the beautiful song, "Beloved". She then realizes his feelings for her are genuine. After the masquerade ball, they talk of forgetting about the world and running away to Paris together. On her way to pack, she has second thoughts, but he confirms his love for her by singing the stirring song "Serenade". But just as they are ready to leave, the Prime Minister Von Mark shows up. "Your grandfather is very ill, and he requests that you return at once". After meeting with his grandfather, Karl tells him that he's relieved to find that his condition has improved but he's also anxious to get back to Heidelberg. "It's that barmaid, isn't it?" says the king, "Barmaids are as plentiful as gooseberries". "Freedom is a luxury no king can afford". "Then I don't want to be king", Karl says, "I just want to be a man". "Running away from your duties will hardly make a man of you", the king replies. A few days later the king dies unexpectedly. On his way to Northausen for the wedding, Karl thinks of Heidelberg, Kathi and the promise he made to her, "I'll be back". He instructs Lutz to stop the train in Heidelberg. "But your Highness. it's not on the schedule!" "It is now, Lutz", he says "It is now". "He makes his way back to Ruder's Inn and the students are singing. But you can tell the mood is more somber, it's not the same since he left. "I thought I'd never see you again", she says. "I told you I'd come back", he says. "We lived in the same world then", she says. "It's all the world I ever wanted", he says. It's a touching scene and it's hard not to get choked up when you see the look of devastation on her face when he leaves. In the final scene, while riding back to the train, Karl's best friend, Dr. Juttner turns to him, pats him on the sleeve, smiles and says, "Let us rejoice while we are young!" This movie celebrates honor, friendship and true love, all of the qualities that should be celebrated now.. |
