"Film-Veteran Norman Jewison hat als einer der wenigen Filmemacher verstanden, dass eine überzeugende Film-Biografie oft nur entstehen kann, wenn man sich nicht sklavisch an die Fakten hält, sondern im Sinne der Geschichte Dinge vielleicht vereinfacht oder aus dem Plot verbannt. Wenn die Essenz der Geschichte dabei nicht verloren geht, hat dies nichts mit Verfälschung zu tun. Ein eindrucksvolles Beispiel dafür stellt seine Filmbiografie ..."
"Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) schrieb das Drehbuch zu Ich glaub' ich steh' im Wald auf der Basis eines Buchs, das er verfasste, als er noch als Reporter für das Magazin Rolling Stone arbeitete. Damals sah er noch so jugendlich aus, dass es ihm ein Jahr lang gelang, inkognito eine kalifornische Highschool zu besuchen und seine Erfahrungen als Buch zu veröffentlichen. Der Film diente als Sprungbrett für die Karrieren einer ganzen Reihe vo ..."

"A remastered set with new 5.1 Dolby Surround audio, commentary tracks, new documentaries and deleted scenes. Fast Times at Ridgemont High Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the c ..."
"The third installment in the cinematic incarnation of Tom Clancy's CIA analyst Jack Ryan and the second starring Harrison Ford, this follow-up to Patriot Games is a more complex, rewarding, and bolder film than its predecessor. Ford returns as Ryan, this time embroiled in a failed White House bid to wipe out a Colombian drug cartel and cover up the mess. The script, by Clancy and John Milius (Red Dawn), has an air of true adventure abou ..."
"Der junge Bud Davis (John Travolta) ist ein Urban Cowboy: Tagsüber arbeitet er auf einem texanischen Ölfeld und nachts lebt er sein modernes Cowboy-Dasein in einer riesigen Country- und Western-Bar aus. Als Bud seine Traumfrau Sissi (Debra Winger) kennen lernt, scheint für ihn alles nach Plan zu laufen. Urban Cowboy von China-Syndrome-Regisseur James Bridges hatte trotz eines tanzenden John Travolta in der Hauptrolle nicht annähernd de ..."
"In his direction of The Hurricane, veteran filmmaker Norman Jewison understands that slavish loyalty to factual detail is no guarantee of compelling screen biography. In telling the story of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter--who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1967 and spent nearly two decades in jail--Jewison and his screenwriters compress time, combine characters, and rearrange events with a nonchalance that would be galling if they ..."

He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is ..."
"Oft hat der Musiker Jack seine Familie vernachlässigt, um mit seiner Blues-Band Karriere zu machen. Als er dann endlich einmal Weihnachten mit seiner Frau und seinem Sohn verbringen will, stellt sich ihm das Schicksal in den Weg: Auf dem Weg nach Hause kommt er bei einem Autounfall ums Leben.

"Whatever you do, don't confuse this Jack Frost with the 1997 comedic horror flick of the same name (its tagline: "He's chillin... and killin'"). This family film stars Michael Keaton as Jack Frost, an aspiring musician, loving husband, and occasionally absent father. Frost's life is unexpectedly cut short by a car accident, and a year after his death he comes back as--you guessed it--a snowman, to help his family heal (Kelly Preston a ..."

"On the verge of making it big, long-struggling musician Jack Frost suddenly realizes he's missing something vital: time with his wife and young son Charlie. But before Jack can make up for lost time, he swerves off an icy mountain road."
"The long-defunct, Southern California band regrouped for an album, an expensive tour (expensive for ticket buyers, that is), and this televised special, which features the Eagles in performance. Laid-back but sharp and even stirring during a longish acoustic set, the guys quickly get past the nostalgia element and sound truly viable. They even make it look easy: the sight of Joe Walsh wearing glasses and sitting in almost perfect repose ..."

"Los Angeles radio station QSKY has become a ratings juggernaut under the guidance of hip, passionate program director Jeff Dugan (played by Michael Brandon). The executives who own the station naturally see it as an opportunity to make lots and lots of money by flooding the airwaves with ads. Meanwhile, the personal lives of the DJs are also in turmoil: Mother (Eileen Brennan) is burnt out with the radio lifestyle and wants to quit; Doc ..."

"No other film captures the life of a teenager in an 80s California public school so well. And that's why this Cameron Crowe film from 1982 holds a special place in so many Duck Soupers hearts. Jeff Spicoli is the ultimate anti-hero/stoner who's not afraid to fight the man aka. his history teacher Mr. Hand. Not that anyone here has ever smoked pot This shirt pays homage to California beach culture and our beloved Spicoli with a pair of h ..."
