Excerpt: The Fly is a 1986 American science fiction horror film (with some gothic fiction elements), written and directed by David Cronenberg. Produced by Brooksfilms and 20th Century Fox, the film stars Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis and John Getz, and is a big budget remake of the 1958 film of the same name, but with a substantially different plot. The soundtrack was composed by Howard Shore. This movie was shot in Toronto in 1985-1986. As with many of Cronenberg's films, The Fly deals with themes of bodily disfigurement or metamorphosis and the darker aspects of human emotions and behavior. An underlying aspect of the story is the doomed love affair between Seth and Ronnie and the resulting rivalry between Seth and Stathis. The Fly was a box office success upon its release and was critically acclaimed in the press. A sequel, The Fly II was released in 1989. At a meet-the-press party held by Bartok Science Industries, Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), a brilliant but eccentric scientist, meets Veronica Quaife (Geena Davis), a journalist for Particle magazine. Bartok Science Industries provides the funding for Brundle's work, and he tells Veronica that he's working on a project that will change the world. Intrigued, Veronica accompanies Brundle back to his warehouse laboratory/home so he can show her his invention: a set of "Telepods" that allows instantaneous tele...http://booksllc.net/?id=456601 ...

Excerpt:Atom Egoyan Atom Egoyan , OC (Armenian : ; born July 19, 1960) is a critically acclaimed Canadian independent film maker. His work often explores themes of alienation and isolation , featuring characters whose interactions are mediated through technology, bureaucracy or other power structures. Egoyan's films often follow non-linear plot-structures, in which events are placed out of sequence in order to elicit specific emotional reactions from the audience by withholding key information. In 2008 he received the Dan David Prize for "Creative Rendering of the Past". Life and career Egoyan was born Atom Yeghoyan in Cairo , Egypt , the son of Shushan (née Devletian) and Joseph Yeghoyan, artists who operated a furniture store. His parents were Armenian -Egyptians, and he was named Atom to mark the completion of Egypt's first nuclear reactor. In 1962, however, his parents left Egypt for Canada, where they settled in Victoria, British Columbia , and changed their last name to Egoyan. Atom and his sister, Eve, now a concert pianist based in Toronto, were raised by their parents in British Columbia . As a boy, Atom's desire for assimilation into Canadian society and his struggle with his father led him to reject his family's Armenian culture. However, years later, when he attended the University of Toronto, he began to study Armenian history. As a teenager, he became interested in reading and writing plays. Significant influences included Samuel Beckett and Harold... ... Read more
