| | Filmtracks: Wide Awake (Edmund Choi) |
| | Wide Awake was produced by an orchestra of 90 players, as well as the full American Boychoir, and the resulting sound seems oddly overblown for the film. | | | Wide Awake: (Edmund Choi) In one of his first and few solo scoring efforts for a feature film, Edmund Choi employs a large orchestra and choir for a comedy children's genre film. | | | Then again, if you're a pure orchestral film music fan, you'll likely believe that a large orchestral and choral score could work in practically any film, and if you are such a person, Wide Awake might open your eyes. |

| | Review: Wide Awake |
| | While it's true that the script for Wide Awake isn't all that ambitious, too often relies on the exposition of an overly-verbose narrator, and includes a few necessary contrivances, what makes the film special are the numerous individual moments that shine. | | | In this age of cynicism, it's unusual to find a film like Wide Awake. | | | Wide Awake is a smoother, more polished movie with a less porous emotional texture, a better-realized story, and more fully-rounded characters. |

| | The Mystical Movie Guide: Our Movie Nights |
| | The woman's spiritual journey is inspiringly realistic, and with its OBE-triggered enlightenment the film is comparable to that Ellen Burstyn classic of NDE awakening "Resurrection" (1980). | | | The film is a bit dry and arty, depicting the difficulties of staying awake (in the Buddhist sense of being spiritually awake, and hopefully not just to put us asleep). | | | This film is the story of Russian mystic George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1877-1949), based on his autobiography of the same title, and focussing on Gurdjieff's formative early years of travelling central Asia in search of spiritual answers. |

| | Wide Awake |
| | Wide Awake is a film about young Joshua Beal (Joseph Cross), a fifth grader attending an affluent Catholic school in the Philadelphia area. | | | Wide Awake is different from most coming of age/spiritual quest type of films because it doesn't seek to be mainstream in too many ways. | | | Wide Awake is a little misleading in its cover, which shows Joshua in his school uniform but wearing black chucks, and Rosie O'Donnell in a nun's habit wearing red low cut chucks. |

| | A Passion for Films |
| | So Langlois arranged that on his way back to London from the Venice Film Festival Roud would stay awake until he got to one of the Milan suburban stations, look out the window and be ready to take the cans of film into his sleeping compartment. | | | In this most engaging biography Richard Roud draws an affectionate portrait of Henri Langlois, a co-founder and the director of the Cinémathèque Française, a film library and screening room in Paris, tracing from November 1914 when he was born in Turkey until his death in January 1977. | | | It is truly amazing that Roud tells you not just about Langlois' prestigious big projects such as his collaboration with the Cannes/Venice/London/New York Film Festivals and receiving the special Oscar in 1974, but also scandal; most famously, the historical boycott executed by film-makers all over the world against his dismissal by André Malraux in 1968. |

| | This film gave the Minion team a newfound respect for documentary filmmakers the world over, and after being awake for 36 hours straight, editing 22 hours of footage down to 45 minutes, the crew learned a valuable lesson about perseverance. | | | Working on this film was immensely enjoyable and educational for the Minion team, and hopefully in the future this movie will be seen as the start of a trend rather than as a unique but ultimately problematic action film. | | | Although not an award-winning movie by any stretch of the imagination, it provided the Minion Films team with valuable experience and ended up giving birth to the Minion name. |

| | The film opens well, with the camera dollying over a mass of intertwined, exhausted orgiasts, until it comes to rest on a shot of one participant who is wide awake: Tara, the favorite slave of Sodom's queen (Aimee). | | | In the film Alabias says that the Sodomites pursue the salt trade in order to buy slaves for their sadistic pleasures, which we are left to assume are an innate vice of the human animal. | | | The sadomasochistic sexual practices shown in the film (scenes of torture) and the Sadean ideology which justifies them (expressed in such aphorisms as "Violence is useless unless it yields pleasure") are rooted in slavery, a practice necessitated by the salt trade. |

| | The Blair Witch Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Blair Witch Project is a low budget 1999 horror film in which three young film students mysteriously disappear from the face of the earth after being stalked through the woods, lost and kept awake by an unseen antagonist. | | | Movie distributors believe this is because the film was rated R, and in response to pressure from Senator Joseph Lieberman over sex and violence in the movies, the National Association of Theatre Owners promoted a policy of strict ID checks, thus eliminating the target audience. | | | In addition, just before the general release of the film, The Sci-Fi Channel aired a mockumentary, Curse of the Blair Witch, which, supposedly, investigated the legend behind the movie. |

| | I had never heard of the films of Michael Legge before viewing this disk, but this new Sub Rosa DVD double feature has definitely grown on me and I think I have acquired the taste for his unique brand of satire, cheap jokes, characters and LOONacy. | | | In this first film from Michael Legge, we have an ancient witches curse playing havoc with the lives of bloodline of the Coukos family. | | | The film also stars Legge as an interviewee, a mop topped Andy Warhol-like avant-garde artist named Mr Mohair, brilliantly poking fun at the media machine and the effects of fleeting fame, starring many of Legge's regular cast members in a variety of cameos. |

| | IGN: Layer Cake Review |
| | Layer Cake is a slick, chilly, soulless, confused and contrived, blatantly derivative and ultimately dull modern gangster picture that relies on the usual stock character suspects and sporadic outbursts of violence which are supposed to be shocking, but work better as a means to jolt any snoozing viewers awake. | | | The producer of Ritchie's films, Matthew Vaughn, spotted author J.J. Connolly's novel Layer Cake and purchased the film rights for Ritchie, but when the director was unavailable - presumably having his soul drained by wife Madonna - he decided to tackle it as his directorial debut. | | | Again, it's impossible to go into the details of how it all falls down without robbing the film of all its tricks, borrowed as they are, like do we really need to see another cross-cut montage of brutal violence set to an oh-so-ironic choice of a pop song? |
