The latest little miracle from director Nurith Aviv.” – SOFILM



An expressive hybrid with roots in German, Hebrew, and Slavic languages, Yiddish has been shamed, banned, and nearly wiped out, but in fact it’s a vernacular with rich political, historical, religious, socio-economic and literary import.

In Nurith Aviv’s unexpected, original documentary, seven young interviewees— some Jews and some not—share their love for the Yiddish language. And they each tell of their connection to a particular poet they love, from the period between the two World Wars, a time which saw a great flowering of Yiddish culture and creativity, including of modernist, avant-garde poetry.

The poets discussed in the film are Celia Dropkin, Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Anna Margolin, Peretz Markish, Avrom Sutzkever, Debora Vogel, and Yehoyesh. Filmed in France, Germany, Israel, Lithuania and Poland, YIDDISH brings the language, through their words, to life.

Included with the DVD, a booklet of translated Yiddish Poems and the short doc:

Academy Award and Pulitzer Prize Winning Writer John Patrick Shanley to Write and Direct "THE TWINKLE BROTHERS" For Rivulet Media

 


ACADEMY AWARD AND PULITZER PRIZE WINNING WRITER JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY TO WRITE AND DIRECT

“THE TWINKLE BROTHERS” FOR RIVULET MEDIA



LOS ANGELES (February 17, 2021) – Rivulet Media announced today that Academy Award® and Pulitzer Prize winning writer John Patrick Shanley will write and direct the upcoming comedy The Twinkle Brothers.  Rivulet Films will produce with recently named President Rob Paris taking the lead.  Casting is underway with filming to begin in New York this fall.

The Twinkle Brothers is a tale told by avuncular café owner Mordecai who, when tasked with the responsibility of looking after his precocious six-year old granddaughter Rita for an afternoon, spins her a yarn about Freddie and Miguel, two insanely competitive brothers from Puerto Rico who come to New York and end up with competing restaurants directly across the street from one another.  The brothers stop at nothing to be the best on the block, ratcheting up the competition to the delight of their neighbors who are treated to bizarrely spectacular light shows, dueling Santas and seemingly endless plates of delicious and comforting food.

Shanley is a playwright, screenwriter and director whose original screenplay, Moonstruck, won the Academy Award for ‘Best Original Screenplay.’ Distributed by MGM, Moonstruck stars Cher and Nicolas Cage and was directed by Norman Jewison.  Shanley also wrote and directed Miramax’s Academy Award® and Golden Globe® nominated Doubt, starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis and was based on his Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play “Doubt, A Parable.”  Most recently, Shanley wrote and directed Bleecker Street’s Wild Mountain Thyme, an adaption of his play “Outside Mullingar,” starring Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Jon Hamm and Christopher Walken.

The Twinkle Brothers reunites Shanley with Paris, who previously served as Shanley’s agent during his tenure at CAA.  Said Paris, “I so desperately missed speaking with John every day that I stalked him until he agreed to let me be a part of this film.  I cannot wait to get started.”  Shanley is represented by CAA and attorney Harrold Brown.

Rivulet Media (RIVU) is a publicly traded company with Mike Witherill and Arizona real estate investor Aaron Klusman serving as COO and CEO respectively. Veteran producer Rob Paris serves as President of Rivulet Media’s film division, which is backed by a consortium of investors led by early Peloton backer Larry Silver. The company recently wrapped production back-to-back features Please Baby Please starring Andrea Riseborough and Demi Moore and The Mistress starring John Magaro and Chasten Harmon.

While at first everything seems to be going fine, when Lili finds Eduardo’s phone in his jacket, things take an unexpected and terrifying turn for the worse.

What If "The Shawshank Redemption" Had An Unhappy Ending? (video)

 


 (Caution: May cause sadness)

"The Shawshank Redemption" has one of the most feelgood endings ever.

It's the total opposite of the ending of, say, a certain Terry Gilliam film.

But what if the ending was a total bringdown? Huh? What if?

Edd "Kookie" Byrnes' Amazing Stunt in "GREASE"! (1978) (video)

 


Edd Byrnes first gained fame on "77 Sunset Strip"...

...as the cool hair-combing, jive-talking Kookie.

In "Grease" he plays an equally cool television DJ...

...who hosts Rydell High's big dance contest.

But the amazing part is the stunt at the end...

...when Edd does a front flip into the frame and catches the mike!

Henchman Falls Down For No Reason In "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" (2012) (video)

 


Sometimes in a big action scene where one hero fights many henchmen...

...the henchmen take turns going one-on-one with the hero.

While waiting their turn, they often simply hop around in keen anticipation.

Here, however, the henchman suddenly and inexplicably decides to fall flat on his back...

...as though he'd been dealt a hero-powered knockout blow...

...when in fact, nobody has even touched him!

It's a case of either bad planning, bad timing, or...who knows?

Small Town Monsters Debuts First Trailer for "ON THE TRAIL OF BIGFOOT: THE JOURNEY"

 

 

Small Town Monsters Continues the Quest for Sasquatch

First Look at "On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey"

Latest Doc Follows New Evidence

Documentarian Seth Breedlove Combs Upstate New York for Evidence of the Elusive Legend

The Journey is the Latest "On the Trail of" Entry, with More Planned for 2021

 

Wadsworth, OH - Following a wildly successful 2020 with the releases of Mark of the Bell Witch and The Mothman Legacy, Small Town Monsters has announced their latest endeavor, On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey. 

The Journey is the followup to the miniseries "On the Trail of Bigfoot", and cryptid documentarian Seth Breedlove leads the Small Town Monsters team deep into the Adirondacks on the hunt for Sasquatch. Today brings the first trailer for The Journey, which shows off the epic vistas and the creepy moonlit investigations that the team took part in.

 

WATCH THE TRAILER:

 


Breedlove and his crew headed to the Adirondacks of upstate New York last summer for an intensive, adventure-filled week searching for Sasquatch. The team documented the trip, which included multiple days and nights in the forests around upstate New York and Western Massachusetts. 

Their trip was spent with Bigfoot researchers like Steve Kulls ("Monsterquest") and Paul Bartholomew (Finding Bigfoot, Beast of Whitehall) who led them on the search for their quarry.

 

 

On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey is just one chapter in the ever-expanding “On the Trail of…” line from the indie production house Small Town Monsters. On the Trail of UFOs: Dark Sky, (a followup to 2020’s Amazon best-selling series, On the Trail of UFOs) will make its bow later this spring, with a second On the Trail of Bigfoot film titled The Discovery to haunt audiences later this year. 

Two Small Town Monsters miniseries are also premiering in 2021: "On the Trail of Hauntings" and "On the Trail of the Lake Michigan Mothman". Both series will initially be exclusively available to Small Town Monsters YouTube subscribers before their wide release later in 2021. 

 


 

The Journey takes a deep look into the subject of Bigfoot but also what spurs people to spend their lives searching for a creature that many believe doesn’t exist. Along the way, they made a stop in Whitehall, NY, home to an incident involving multiple members of law enforcement claiming to see a Bigfoot in a field off a rural road.  

The crew had multiple unusual experiences during their various night investigations near Lake George, Whitehall and Western Massachusetts.  The Journey unveils some of that evidence.

On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Journey is being crowdfunded through a Kickstarter campaign launching on Thursday, February 4th. Backers will have the chance to add their names to the credits of the production, as well as Breedlove’s other 2021 titles including a late-summer release titled The Howl of the Rougarou.

Martha Raye's Worst Role: The Bathroom Lady In "AIRPORT '79: THE CONCORDE" (video)

 


Martha Raye was one of the most talented comediennes of both the large or small screen.

She even stole scenes from Charlie Chaplin in "Monsieur Verdoux."

(Check out the rowboat scene sometime.)

But her role as "The Bathroom Lady" in this, the worst of the "Airport" films...

...must rank as the absolute nadir of her illustrious career.
