The Boxer -- When ex-boxer Danny Flynn (Daniel Day-Lewis) returns to his Belfast neighborhood, he's swept into emotional and political turmoil after he reunites with his former love (Emily Watson).

Released after his 14-year prison sentence for IRA activities, a 32-year-old returns to his old neighborhood. To get back in the boxing ring, Danny gets the community-center gym back in operation and starts training.

It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate around its axis, 7 rotations in a week, and 365 spins to make a ski film. The making of a ski film is not a hobby for Rage Films, but a way of life. Their talented group of athletes train year round, works odd jobs, and dream throughout the off season of what the upcoming season will bring. The filming season begins at the first sighting of snowflakes in November and comes to conclusion with the summer heat waves mid June. Epic amounts of snow yielded huge jumps, gnarly lines and exploratory trips around the world. Athletes threw tricks they have never done before, break through performances were caught on film, and some just learned how to travel with dependents (even if it was a ferret), but most importantly, the ante was upped for progressive skiing and cinematography. This is a reflection on the dedication, perseverance, loyalty, and excitement the crew works for all year. Such is our lives. Such is life.

(1938, Aka QUEEN OF CRIME) Jack Hulbert, Genevieve Tobin, Noel Madison, Francis Sullivan, Arthur Wonter. In this great Edgar Wallace thriller, Hulbert is a slick policeman out to nab Tobin and her criminal gang. Watch for the great scene where her gang robs a bank in the black of the night only to find the building encircled by police. Later, the gang heists a train loaded with gold bullion. When the police pursue, the train seemingly vanishes into thin air! The action (all at night) leads to a little used siding and a deserted loading station. The editing during the action sequences is superb, adding to the thrilling nature of the goings-on. Tobin is wickedly delightful as Kate. Madison is at his sleazy best as one of her gunmen. The patter between Tobin and Hulbert is delightful. A grand film from start to finish. 16mm.
