T-shirts can be found here – https://www.redbubble.com/people/ufocast Email the show – ufocast@yahoo.com he Fifth Element (French: Le Cinquième Élément) is a 1997 English-language French science fiction-action film conceived and directed by Luc Besson, and co-written by Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. It stars Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, and Chris Tucker. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas (Willis), a taxi driver and former special forces major, after a young woman named Leeloo (Jovovich) falls into his cab. Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defence of Earth against the impending attack of a malevolent cosmic entity. Besson started writing the story that was developed as The Fifth Element when he was 16 years old; he was 38 when the film opened in cinemas. Besson wanted to shoot the film in France, but suitable facilities could not be found; filming took place in London and Mauritania, instead. He hired comic artists Jean "Moebius" Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, whose books inspired parts of the film, for production design. Costume design was by Jean Paul Gaultier. The Fifth Element received mainly positive reviews, although some critics were highly negative. The film won in categories at the British Academy Film Awards, the César Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Lumière Awards, but also received nominations at the Golden Raspberry and Stinkers Bad Movie Awards. The Fifth Element was a strong financial success, earning more than US$263 million at the box office on a $90-million budget, making it the ninth highest-grossing film of 1997. At the time of its release, it was the most expensive European film ever made, and it remained the highest-grossing French film at the international box office until the release of The Intouchables in 2011. Plot In 1914, aliens known as Mondoshawans meet their contact on Earth, a priest of a secret order, at an ancient Egyptian temple. They take the only weapon capable of defeating a great evil that appears every 5000 years, promising to protect it and return it before the great evil's re-emergence. The weapon consists of the four classical elements, as four engraved stones, plus a sarcophagus containing a "fifth element". In the 23rd century,[a] the great evil appears in deep space as a giant living fireball. It destroys an armed Earth spaceship as it heads to Earth. The Mondoshawans' current human contact on Earth, priest Vito Cornelius, informs the president of the Federated Territories of the great evil's history and the weapon that can stop it. On their way to Earth, a Mondoshawan spacecraft carrying the weapon is ambushed and destroyed by a crew of Mangalores, alien mercenaries hired by Earth industrialist Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, who is working for the great evil. A severed hand in metal armour from the wreckage of the spacecraft is brought to New York City. From this, the government uses biotechnology to recreate the original occupant of the sarcophagus, a humanoid woman named Leeloo, who remembers her previous life. Alarmed by the unfamiliar surroundings and high security, she escapes and jumps off a ledge, crashing into the flying taxicab of Korben Dallas, a former major in Earth's special forces. Dallas delivers Leeloo to Cornelius and his apprentice, David, who recognises her as the fifth element. As Leeloo recuperates, she tells Cornelius that the stones were not on board the Mondoshawan ship. Simultaneously, the Mondoshawans inform Earth's government that the stones were entrusted to an alien opera singer, the diva Plavalaguna. Zorg reneges on his deal with the Mangalores for failing to obtain the stones, and kills some of them. Earth's military sends Dallas to meet Plavalaguna; a rigged radio contest provides a cover, awarding Dallas a luxury vacation aboard a flying hotel on planet Fhloston, accompanied by flamboyant talk-show host Ruby Rhod. It includes a concert by Plavalaguna, and learning that Leeloo shares his mission, Dallas lets her accompany him. Cornelius instructs David to prepare the temple, then stows away on the luxury spaceship. The Mangalore crew, pursuing the stones for themselves, also illegally board the ship. During the concert, the Mangalores attack, and Plavalaguna is killed. Dallas extracts the stones from her body and kills the Mangalore leader, causing the others to surrender. Zorg arrives, shoots Leeloo, and activates a time bomb. He flees with a carrying case he presumes contains the stones, but returns when he discovers it is empty. As Zorg's bomb causes the hotel's evacuation, Dallas finds Leeloo traumatised and escapes with her, Cornelius, Rhod, and the stones in Zorg's private spaceship. Zorg deactivates his bomb, but a dying Mangalore sets off his own, destroying the hotel and killing Zorg. As the great evil approaches Earth, the four meet David at the temple. They deploy the stones, but Leeloo, having learned of humanity's history of cruelty, has given up on life. Dallas declares his love for her and kisses her. Leeloo combines the power of the stones, emitting divine light onto the great evil and defeating it. Dallas and Leeloo are hailed as heroes, and as dignitaries wait to greet them, the two passionately embrace in a recovery chamber.

A horror movie with a 4% Rotten Tomatoes score always raises the same question: is it secretly underrated, or is it a cautionary tale? We hit play on Bless the Child (2000) and quickly find ourselves in a swirl of chosen one mythology, satanic cult plotting, and a very serious attempt at a biblical supernatural thriller that rarely earns the weight it wants.We walk through the story of Cody, the girl everyone wants to control, and why the movie's pacing feels endless even at under two hours. Then we get into the real debate: what happens when a film stacks big cast names like Kim Basinger, Christina Ricci, Jimmy Smits, and Ian Holm, but the performances still feel flat and the tension never builds? We also dig into the horror tropes on display, the messy logic of faith-based end times movies, and the moments that pull you out completely, from early-2000s CGI demons to scenes that feel like they wandered in from a different cut of the film.Along the way, we call out what has aged the worst, including an outdated autism reference, and we compare Bless the Child to other supernatural horror and good-versus-evil films that handle similar material with more style and clarity. We end with our watchability scores, plus the few odd details that still stick, for better or worse.Follow us on Instagram @ScreamStreamPod, visit screamsandstreams.com for film info and episode resources, and if you laughed or argued along with us, rate, review, subscribe, and share the show with a fellow horror fan. Head to www.screamsandstreams.com for more information related to our episode.

Zach Braffs Drehbuch- und Regiedebut aus dem Jahr 2004 ist eine Sinnsuche im frühen Erwachsenenstadium mit viel Liebe und chaotischer Energie.

You can get away with making a lightweight movie if you appeal to critics' base instincts - hunger in this case.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.

It was only a matter of time before we talked about a Terry Gilliam film, so it's not surprise the first is 1985's "Brazil"! Adam gives us the details on the not-so-behind-the-scenes struggle to maintain the film in its intended form. Plus, he's watched the "Love Conquers All" cut so you don't have to. And for once, Doug's take may have actually been INTENDED by the filmmaker!

One of the greatest directors of his generation, Sir Richard Eyre shares his insights from a life in theatre and film. From Judy Dench and Ian Holm to Anthony Hopkins and David Harewood, from Olivier to Brando, Eyre offers glimpses into a world of acting stardom and genius. What makes a great actor? What makes a great director? How did Eyre himself rise from being, in his view, an inadequate actor to become Artistic Director at the National Theatre? Eyre, who directed Iris and whose mother suffered from dementia, reveals his wife's diagnosis and the strain that has put on his life. This is a rare conversation that moves from personal tragedy to the heights of success and takes in the importance of love and kindness along the way.

Send us a textWhat makes a horror film truly terrifying? In our deep dive into Ridley Scott's 1979 masterpiece Alien, we discover it's what you don't see that haunts you most. The slow-burning tension of the Nostromo's corridors, the cosmic horror of that derelict alien spacecraft, the shadow-cloaked xenomorph – Scott crafts an atmosphere of dread that feels as fresh today as it did over forty years ago. We explore how this film brilliantly balances restraint with shock, particularly in the infamous chestburster scene. Did you know the cast's horrified reactions were genuine? They had no idea what was about to erupt from John Hurt's chest, creating one of cinema's most authentically terrifying moments.Beyond its surface scares, Alien harbors deeper themes about corporate exploitation. The ship's very name, Nostromo, references Joseph Conrad's novel about labor exploitation – a subtle nod to how these working-class crew members are mere pawns in a corporate game. Ian Holm's android Ash embodies this corporate callousness, placing "company orders" above human lives. We dissect his brilliant performance and the shocking milk-white reveal of his true nature.For Rich, experiencing Alien for the first time led to fascinating discussions about expectations versus reality.

Join Alex and guest host Dr. Shlomit Flaisher-Grinberg as they discuss the neuroscience behind Pixar's brilliant Ratatouille (2007), directed by Brad Bird and starring the voices of Patton Oswalt as Remy, Ian Holm as Skinner, Brad Garrett as Gusteau, Janeane Garofalo as Colette, Lou Romano as Linguini, and Peter O'Toole as Anton Ego. This lovely movie about following your dreams has a ton of psychological concepts hidden within, from the sensation and perception of food, how Remy controls Linguini, and how Rats just get a bad rap. Shlomit shares her experiences working with rats as a graduate student, postdoc, and university professor — perhaps she wouldn't want them in her kitchen, though (she says yes but backs off a bit!).

Dans Travelling, un film de science-fiction, une comédie musclée, signée Luc Besson sortie en 1997 : The 5th Element, le 5e élément. Dans ce film, le Bien est confronté au Mal absolu, qui revient tous les 5000 ans et se propose à chaque fois de détruire toute forme de vie. En 2263, le Mal est repoussé par une équipe de Justes et de justiciers groupés autour des 4 éléments fondamentaux et dʹun cinquième, incarné en un être parfait, en lʹoccurrence une jeune fille aux cheveux orange prénommée Leeloo. Luc Besson, auréolé du succès de Nikita puis de Léon, donne enfin corps à un projet qui lui tient à cœur depuis son adolescence. Le 5e élément est tiré de son livre écrit 16 ans. Il lui faut 20 ans et de nombreux millions de dollars pour en tirer un film. Le 5e élément est une véritable superproduction. Lorgnant du côté de Star Wars et dʹIndiana Jones, mâtiné de bande dessinée européenne, le cinéaste associe à son projet les dessinateurs Moebius, et Jean-Claude Mézières pour les décors, la création de lʹunivers et les créatures du futur. Pour les effets spéciaux, cʹest la société de James Cameron et la musique est signée Eric Serra, complice de toujours de Luc Besson. Du côté des acteurs de ce Space opéra, Bruce Willis, star ultime des années 90, est le héros avec une débutante, Milla Jovovich. On trouve également Gary Oldman, Ian Holm et Chris Tucker. Gigantesque fresque sur la paix, sur lʹamour, le film est un véritable succès en France, et à lʹInternational malgré des critiques mitigées qui lui reprochent une impression de déjà-vu et de naïveté du propos. Mais le public adore et à  force de diffusions et de rediffusions, le 5e éléments obtient un statut de film culte. Nommé aux César et aux Oscars, le film obtient trois César dont celui du meilleur réalisateur. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça. Direction, le 23e siècle, dans le taxi volant de Korben Dallas, dans lequel vient dʹatterrir avec fracas, Leeloo.

Welcome back to another edition of the Video Store Podcast. In honor of Women's History Month, I've selected four films featuring what I like to call “Wonder Women.” These are women who are brave, kind, strong, and all-around wonderful. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive list—simply four films that resonate with me personally as a woman, and you should watch, whether you're a woman or not. Fried Green Tomatoes (1991)First up is the 1991 Oscar-nominated film, Fried Green Tomatoes. The film stars Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary-Louise Parker, Kathy Bates, and Jessica Tandy, among others. Fried Green Tomatoes is based on the book Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg, who also wrote the first draft of the screenplay. This film flashes between the 1920s and the 1980s, looking at Wonder Women through all stages of life. No matter where you find yourself, Fried Green Tomatoes is a great film to enjoy with the wonderful women in your life. Steel Magnolias (1989)Next up is Steel Magnolias from 1989. Focusing on southern women's culture in the 1980s, Steel Magnolias highlights the friendship among six women who must persevere through difficult circumstances. Starring Shirley MacLaine, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Daryl Hannah, and Tom Skerritt, Steel Magnolias expertly blends comedy and drama, making a great movie full of Wonder Women. 9 to 5 (1980)The second Dolly Parton film in today's line-up is 9 to 5. The film, in addition to Dolly Parton, features Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Dabney Coleman. Highlighting 1980s office politics that are unfortunately still all too relevant today, 9 to 5 tackles serious women's issues with humor, making their points even more effective and poignant. This is a great laugh after the tear-jerking drama after Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. Alien (1979)The last film in our Wonder Women selections is 1979's Alien directed by Ridley Scott. Starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Yaphet Kotto, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton, and Bolaji Badejo as the Xenomorph, Alien, is a phenomenal sci-fi horror film. Alien's leading wonder woman, Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, is an amazing sci-fi heroine. She's smart, brave, and resourceful, totes a flamethrower, and has a kitty-cat sidekick. What more do you want in a film about a Wonder Woman? We hope you enjoy these films and come back and see us next week on the Video Store Podcast. Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast!

How do you follow an industry-shaking debut like SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE? If you're Steven Soderbergh, the answer is obvious: a weird, downer sort-of-biopic of Franz Kafka shot in black and white. We're joined by filmmaker Christopher Jason Bell (MISS ME YET, THE WINDS THAT SCATTER) to talk 1991's KAFKA, Soderbergh's influence, and Chris's outstanding new film FAILED STATE. Great ep!

In this episode, we continue our Year of the Nineties with the heartbreaking small-town drama from director Atom Egoyan, "The Sweet Hereafter", starring Ian Holm, Bruce Greenwood and Sarah Polley! Listen now!

This week, Roy Scheider plays a small but pivotal supporting role in David Cronenberg's cult classic, NAKED LUNCH! Adapted from the novel by William S. Burroughs, Scheider stars alongside Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holm, and more in what may be the strangest and one of the last great movie of his career.

In space, no one can hear you scream. In sequels that are also prequels that tell standalone stories while respecting the original and tying together diverse material from comics to video games, no one can hear you scream about continuity. Return to the Alien franchise in this 2024 installment directed by Fede Álvarez (who helmed Don't Breathe) and set in-between the first two films. While the outing succeeded at the box office, audiences were divided over the third-act twist and the decision to digitally resurrect the late actor Ian Holm as the film's synthetic, Rook. It just scored an Oscar nom for Best Visual Effects, but what do our hosts make of Alien: Romulus? Are our hearts bursting through our chests with love for this flick, or did it give us indigestion?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Erin and Brennan find a time hole to escape the supreme being who doesn't seem like a good guy. This week we talked about Time Bandits, the film made by 2/3rds of Monty Python that everyone should know about. We hop through the annals of time with 6 bandits (angels?) plus Kevin and encounter the best cameos. We have Sean Connery, Shelley Duvall, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Ian Holm, R2-D2 (Kenny Baker!), and a Jawa (Jack Purvis)! We fight a minotaur with Agamemnon, give two pennies for the poor to rub with Robin Hood, and Napoleon watches little people hitting each other (aka Erin going through daily life). All the while, we follow our selfish leader, Randall, though I'm pretty sure the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness is a bad place to go. 

“One fella is just hollowed out!” - Chris on xeno aftermath gore On this week's episode, we're taking the show back to Franchise Town as we chat about the solid-ish sci-fi sequel/prequel/in-between-quel, Alien: Romulus! How incredible are all the ship and planetary designs in this film? Should they have kept the entire story on the mining colony and had the xenos just chasing them down there? How great is David Jonsson in this film, portraying both Andy and Upgraded Andy? Is Bjorn the most annoying character in the entire franchise? And yeah, this Ian Holm decision is truly repugnant! PLUS: Lotta Alien: Resurrection in here, folks!

Grab Jonesy the cat and prep the explosives because we're celebrating the 45th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien (1979). This film is all about reproduction and gender (roles) from Sigourney Weaver's iconic performance as Ripley to the male rape of Kane to the evolving form of the Alien. It's also an incredible technical feat, a take-down of capitalism, and why you should never trust Ian Holm when he's dissecting. Questions? Comments? Snark?
