| Article Title :: Wonder Woman (DVD) Review |
| |
| Nominated for a single Emmy in its short three season stint, Wonder Woman - which premiered in 1976 - was the third attempt by the major networks to bring the popular comic book character to TV. Created as the result of a collaboration between the multi-talented William M. Marston and DC Comics publisher Maxwell Gaines, Wonder Woman made her world premiere in a 1941 comic book. The final product of Gaines' request for a female comic book hero, Marston never lived to see his creation become a television star (he died prematurely from skin cancer in 1947), but his legacy lives on through the Wonder Woman franchise which continues to entertain worldwide audiences to this day…

| Article Title :: Violence at the Movies |
| |
| Many folks complain about violence in films and on television. Quite honestly, I don’t see much violence either place because I’m extremely selective in what I view. I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about this topic. It reminded me that I had written an article a while ago, and tracked it down.It’s a true story, which happened in December, 1994. With hindsight, this story feels more like a planned experiment than a spontaneous happening.I attended three films within a period of seven days. Where I lived at the time in Santa Monica, I had the luxury of being within easy walking distance of five movie theaters which can show a total of 22 films s (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Ritwik and His "Meghe Dhaka Tara"-A Study Into Oppression and Feminism in The Alter |
| |
| It is one of life's greatest ironies that Ritwik Ghatak who is today something of a cult figure in Bengal was so little understood and appreciated during his lifetime. Despite the fact that today his films have won much critical acclaim, the fact remains that in their time they ran to mainly empty houses in Bengal. Ghatak's films project a unique
sensibility. They are often brilliant, but almost always flawed.Born in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh), the partition of Bengal and the subsequent division of a culture was something that haunted Ghatak forever. Joining the left-wing Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA), he used to work for a few years as a playwright, actor and directo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Da Vinci Code Already in "The Last Supper" |
| |
| Why the Fuss?
Since Dan Brown's mystery thriller The Da Vinci Code (Doubleday, 2003) first appeared, people have asked a lot of questions, especially regarding Leonardo da Vinci's world-famous painting, "The Last Supper." Is the feminine-looking figure sitting just to the right of Christ really the apostle John, as traditionally believed, or is it instead Mary Magdalene?The answer may be boring, in that it is drained of mystery and intrigue, but it is nevertheless so obvious that it rings true. The coming of the film version of "The Da Vinci Code," starring Tom Hanks, prompts renewed interest in this subject that should by now have been laid to rest.The (read full article) |

| I’m in love with an ape. A twenty-five foot ape to be exact. Peter Jackson did the impossible: he managed to make a re-make of King Kong that didn’t suck and not only did it not suck it is arguably the best King Kong re-make ever and can rival the original as the best King Kong movie ever.
