Her nostalgic, lush and heartfelt voice, Laura Pursell's smooth west coast vocals are backed by the genius of her famous father Bill Pursell, who wrote 8 out of 10 arrangements and played piano on all 10 tracks. The rich orchestration, recorded by Nashville's A-team players. Mr. Pursell is perhaps best known for his hit record "Our Winter Love," but also played piano on many of Johnny Cash's albums in the 1960s, and worked as a session musician and arranger for Patsy Cline, Johnny Paycheck, Hoover, Joan Baez, Eric Andersen, Scotty Moore, J.J. Cale, Willie Nelson, Dan Fogelberg, and others. In 1985, Pursell was named Composer of the Year by the Tennessee Music Teachers Association.

At 18, she was cast as Dick Van Patton's niece in a nationally televised Christmas special, “The Gift of Song”, starring a host of country music stars. Relocating to LA in the early 90's, she studied at the South Coast Repertory and Beverly Hills Playhouse and has starred in countless stage productions all over LA, including "Blue Moon Dancing" by Ed Graczyk, "In the City for the Summer" (Variety singled out her gritty performance), and the farcical, outrageous "And Then There was Nun" which played to sold out houses for 2 extensions, where she did a hilarious sendup of Gloria Swanson. She was a long time member of the Company of Angels, LA's oldest repertory theatre, winning a Dramalogue Award for her saucy, sword-wielding performance in the mainstage production of “Zastrozzi”. She appeared in an iconic video for Weird Al Yankovic, spoofing Tanya Harding in the "Mmmm Mmmm" song (where she did her own figure skating). She appeared in several episodes of "Days of Our Lives" and had a small but pivotal role in "The Landlady" starring Talia Shire. In 2013, she was cast as one of the three leads in a hilarious coming-of-middle-age web series called "Living the Dream", and in 2015, she had the starring role in "Only the Moon Howls", a moving one act which won the Encore! Award at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Her performance was singled out for its "deep emotional access" and hailed as "heartbreaking", "truthful", "sensitive" and "vulnerable". A film version of the piece is planned for late 2015. In 2001, she landed a plum role, singing for Betty and President Gerald Ford in Palm Springs. Over the years, she has recorded and performed with some of the greatest jazz musicians on the west coast. She has performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, Dublin Ireland and in west coast venues such as Spazio, Vitello's, The Money Tree, Barone's, Monteleone's, The San Ysidro Ranch (Santa Barbara), Vicky's of Santa Fe (Palm Springs) and the Canyon Club. She appeared with Gary Tole's "Legends of Swing" orchestra and the Doug MacDonald's 13-piece "Jazz Coalition".

Fifty years ago, recent Oscar winner Francis Ford Coppola returned to write and direct what was likely one of the most highly anticipated sequels in the history of cinema.....and barely two years after the original film (The Godfather) had set the world by storm not only setting box office records but winning several Oscars including Best Picture.  How could any film live up to that?  Well in the opinions of most who saw it, THIS one did! Returning are stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Talia Shire, and John Cazale among several others in this next chapter of The Corleone Saga with Al's Michael now leading one of the most powerful crime families in the country.  And this time around, he's expanding his empire further by working out a deal with powerful kingpin Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) to expand operations into Cuba.  Of course, several complications ensue including an attempt on Michael's life which arouses suspicions towards every one around him.  From there, things don't go exactly as planned as Michael's fear and paranoia take him into unexpected directions.  Along the way during this 3+ epic, Coppola also presents us with the origins of Michael's father Vito now played by Robert Deniro.  We follow Vito's story from an orphaned kid travelling from his homeland of Italy to New York City and eventually growing into adulthood, building a criminal empire.  Considered by many to be even better than its predecessor, this would go on to win six Oscars including Best Picture.   Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

We begin by sharing our experiences watching Metropolis, including the first time watching it and our experience watching it more recently. We talk about the music in Metropolis, how it's drawn from music before it and influenced music after the film. We start our conversation about Megalopolis by questioning the film's logic and figuring out what the film is trying to do. We praise and dissect the work of Aubrey Plaza, Talia Shire and Kathryn Hunter, as well as critique the work of the cast as a whole. We consider the film regarding other films and filmmakers' work, trying to figure out what could have made Megalopolis a better film. We discuss the performances from Metropolis, especially the work of Brigitte Helm. We finish by discussing the themes, ideas and politics of Metropolis and whether it is still relevant to us today.

Here's Julie's list of favorite sports movies. A League of Their Own This is a Satellite Sister Solid Gold choice. This movie has everything: sisters, baseball, Geena Davis, Rosie O”Donnell, Madonna in center field, and Tom Hanks telling the players,” there's no crying in baseball”. Bend It Like Beckham A wonderful coming of age/cultural assimilation/girl power story about Jess Bijam who wants to play soccer like her idol, David Beckham but struggles to respect her traditional Indian family values. And, hello, Keira Knightley plays Jess's friend and David Beckham makes a cute cameo. Bull Durham It's hard to pick my favorite baseball movie but the kitchen scene with Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner makes Bull Durham my top pick. The movie is about baseball in a very deep way but also has breezy romantic comedy.  Rocky I loved the original Rocky. It's the ultimate underdog movie and has one of the best theme songs ever. Also, Talia Shire shines in the film.  Hoop Dreams An excellent documentary following two young Chicago basketball prospects trying to use their athletic talents to get to a better life. The two stars face racism, poverty, injury and other roadblocks trying to make their dreams come true. The film left me in tears.  Friday Night Lights Watch the original movie with clear eyes and a full heart. Before there was Kyle Chandler as Coach Eric Taylor, there was Billy Bob Thornton and Tim McGraw in a film that follows the coach and players of a high school football team in Odessa, Texas. As a transplant, I am beginning to appreciate what Friday night football means to Texas communities. The film is as much about Texas culture as it is about football.  Bad News Bears Haven't we all been on a team for work or play where you feel like a group of misfits or outcasts? This is a movie about kids who never expect to care about competing or winning. Tatum O'Neal is the 11-year old star pitcher. Walter Matthau as an alcoholic ex-baseball pitcher turned coach is perfect. The ending involves a championship game and a big celebration for the Bears.   Liz's sport movie faves include Robert Redford in Downhill Racer and Bill Murray in Caddyshack! Plus Without Limits, a great T&F movie with Billy Crudup as Steve Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland as Coach Bill Bowerman Lian names the great cycling flick Breaking Away and The Cutting Edge, a skating rom-com that does the sport proud.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

Hey there Watchers!! We're back with another episode, and this week, we're diving into the adrenaline-pumping world of “Rocky IV.” This 1985 classic is not just another instalment in the Rocky series; it's a cinematic phenomenon that encapsulates the Cold War tensions of the era, delivers unforgettable fight sequences, and gives us one of the most iconic training montages ever. So, let's put on our boxing gloves and step into the ring as we dissect everything that makes “Rocky IV” a heavyweight champ in the film world.Cinematography and Visuals: One of the standout features of “Rocky IV” is its dynamic and engaging cinematography. Director Sylvester Stallone, who also stars as the titular character, knew exactly how to capture the intensity of the boxing scenes. The camera work in the fight sequences is nothing short of brilliant. The audience feels the impact with every punch thrown, thanks to the close-up shots and the rapid cuts that heighten the tension. The contrast between the dark, gritty scenes of Philadelphia and Russia's cold, sterile environment effectively mirrors the film's overarching theme – the clash between two different worlds.The training montages, especially Rocky's in the snowy wilderness of Russia, are visually stunning. The stark, snow-covered landscapes are a far cry from the urban settings of the previous films. This shift signifies Rocky's physical and mental transformation and adds a fresh, invigorating feel to the series. Cinematographer Bill Butler deserves a shoutout for his work in making these sequences both inspiring and visually captivating.Storytelling and Themes: “Rocky IV” is more than just a sports drama; it's a political allegory. The film is about the East vs. West rivalry that defined the Cold War era. Ivan Drago, played by Dolph Lundgren, isn't just a formidable opponent for Rocky; he's a symbol of the Soviet Union's perceived threat to American values and way of life. Drago's cold, emotionless demeanour and reliance on state-of-the-art technology contrast Rocky's heart, determination, and old-school training methods.The film's narrative arc follows Rocky's journey from a grieving friend to a determined warrior. The tragic death of Apollo Creed, portrayed by Carl Weathers, is a pivotal moment that sets the tone for the rest of the movie. Apollo's demise isn't just a plot device; it's a catalyst that propels Rocky into action, driven by guilt, revenge, and a desire to honour his friend's legacy.The storytelling is straightforward but effective. There's a clear sense of progression as Rocky transitions from the comforts of his life in America to the harsh realities of training in Russia. This journey is as much about self-discovery as it is about preparing for the fight. The themes of perseverance, redemption, and the triumph of the human spirit are woven seamlessly into the narrative, making “Rocky IV” a compelling watch from start to finish.Character Development: Sylvester Stallone's portrayal of Rocky Balboa is always heartfelt and genuine. Stallone has fine-tuned Rocky's character by the fourth instalment, balancing his tough exterior with a deep emotional core. We see a more introspective Rocky, grappling with loss and searching for meaning beyond the boxing ring. Stallone's ability to convey vulnerability and strength in equal measure makes Rocky a relatable and enduring character.Dolph Lundgren's Ivan Drago is the perfect foil to Rocky. Drago is more machine than man, a product of Soviet engineering and propaganda. Lundgren's performance, though minimalist in dialogue, is menacing and impactful. His physical presence alone is enough to convey the threat he poses, making the eventual showdown between him and Rocky all the more thrilling.While not as prominently featured as in previous films, Talia Shire's Adrian still provides Rocky's emotional anchor. Her concerns about Rocky's safety and her eventual support highlight the importance of family and love in Rocky's life. Burt Young's Paulie adds a touch of humour and humanity, reminding us that there's room for levity and warmth even in the face of daunting challenges.Cultural and Historical Significance: “Rocky IV” is a time capsule of the 1980s, reflecting the cultural and political climate of the era. The Cold War backdrop gives the film a sense of urgency and relevance that resonated with audiences at the time. The portrayal of the Soviet Union and the USA through the lens of boxing might seem simplistic today, but it was a powerful metaphor for the ideological battle between the two superpowers.The film also played a significant role in popular culture. Who can forget the iconic line, “If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”? Rocky's speech at the end of the film, delivered in the heart of the Soviet Union, is a message of hope and unity that transcends the boxing ring. It's a testament to the power of cinema to inspire and bring people together.Pop Culture Impact: “Rocky IV” left an indelible mark on pop culture. The film's soundtrack, featuring hits like “Eye of the Tiger” and “Hearts on Fire,” became anthems of the decade. The training montages, set to these high-energy tracks, are some of film history's most parodied and referenced scenes. Whether in other movies, TV shows, or even commercials, the influence of “Rocky IV” is undeniable.The film also cemented Rocky Balboa's status as a cultural icon. Rocky's journey from underdog to champion is a universal story that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. “Rocky IV” not only contributed to the history of the Rocky series but also reinforced the idea that anything is possible with determination and heart.Conclusion: “Rocky IV” is more than just a boxing movie; it's a cinematic experience that combines powerful storytelling, compelling characters, and cultural significance. It's a film that captures the spirit of its time while delivering a timeless message of perseverance and hope. Whether you're a die-hard Rocky fan or a newcomer to the series, “Rocky IV” is a must-watch that will leave you inspired and entertained.Thanks for joining us on this deep dive into “Rocky IV.” We hope you enjoyed this episode of Born to Watch.

Born To Watch - A Movie Podcast

Welcome back, Born to Watch listeners! In this episode, we dive into the electrifying world of "Rocky III," the third instalment in the legendary Rocky series. Directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, this 1982 classic reinvigorates the saga of the Italian Stallion with new challenges, unforgettable characters, and the iconic anthem "Eye of the Tiger."Overview and Plot Summary"Rocky III" begins with Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) at the pinnacle of his career. He's the reigning heavyweight champion, enjoying a lavish lifestyle with his wife Adrian (Talia Shire) and son. The opening montage, set to Survivor's “Eye of the Tiger,” captures Rocky's string of successful title defences and newfound celebrity status. However, this success brings complacency, something that his trainer, Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith), warns him about.Enter Clubber Lang (Mr. T), a ferocious and hungry challenger who calls out Rocky's seemingly softening resolve. Clubber's taunts and raw power culminate in a dramatic face-off, where he brutally dethrones Rocky, not only taking his title but also delivering a crushing blow to his spirit.Rocky's journey to redemption is both physical and emotional. With the help of his former rival, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), Rocky must reclaim the "eye of the tiger"—the primal, relentless drive that first made him a champion. Through gruelling training and self-discovery, Rocky prepares for a rematch that's as much about regaining his pride as it is about reclaiming the title.Cinematography and DirectionStallone's direction in "Rocky III" is marked by a notable shift in style from the previous films. The grit and grime of Philadelphia give way to a more polished, almost glossy depiction of Rocky's life at the top. This contrast effectively underscores Rocky's initial loss of hunger and drive. The training montages, a staple of the Rocky series, are particularly memorable here, with the beach running scene between Rocky and Apollo standing out as a moment of pure cinematic energy and emotional resonance.The fight scenes are shot viscerally, pulling the audience into the ring. The cinematography by Bill Butler captures the brutal reality of boxing, with sweat and blood flying in slow motion, emphasizing the physical toll of each punch. The camera work during the final fight keeps viewers on the edge of their seats, perfectly complementing the film's dramatic pacing.Character Development and PerformancesSylvester Stallone delivers a multifaceted performance as Rocky. He adeptly portrays Rocky's transformation from a complacent champion to a humbled underdog seeking redemption. Stallone's ability to convey vulnerability and determination makes Rocky's journey deeply relatable and inspiring.Mr. T's portrayal of Clubber Lang is nothing short of iconic. His raw, unbridled aggression starkly contrasts Rocky's initially softened demeanour. Mr T imbues Clubber with an intensity that makes him one of the most memorable antagonists in the series. His famous line, “I pity the fool,” has become part of the pop culture lexicon.Carl Weathers reprises his role as Apollo Creed, adding a new layer to his character. The transition from Rocky's rival to his mentor is handled with nuance, showcasing Apollo's respect for Rocky and his own desire to reclaim some glory by proxy. Their developing friendship adds depth to the narrative and provides some of the film's most heartfelt moments.Burgess Meredith's Mickey continues to be the grounding force in Rocky's life. His death is a poignant turning point in the film, symbolizing the end of an era and pushing Rocky to rediscover his fighting spirit. Talia Shire's Adrian also plays a crucial role; her unwavering support and powerful pep talk give Rocky the emotional strength he needs.Historical and Cultural Significance"Rocky III" holds a significant place in cinema history. Released during the early 1980s, the film reflects the era's cultural landscape, where themes of perseverance, self-reliance, and redemption resonated strongly with audiences. The film's success helped cement Sylvester Stallone as a major Hollywood player and further established the Rocky franchise as a cultural touchstone.The soundtrack, particularly "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor, became an anthem for motivation and resilience. Its association with Rocky's training montages has made it synonymous with overcoming challenges and pushing one's limits. The song's enduring popularity is a testament to the film's impact on pop culture.Pop Culture Impact"Rocky III" is more than just a sports drama; it's a cultural phenomenon. Mr. T's portrayal of Clubber Lang introduced the world to a new kind of larger-than-life character, influencing portrayals of antagonists in sports films and beyond. The film's themes of facing fears, rebounding from failure, and reclaiming one's identity continue to inspire generations of moviegoers.The film also contributed to the rise of franchise filmmaking in Hollywood. Its box office success demonstrated the viability of sequels and helped pave the way for future instalments. The Rocky series has left an indelible mark on world cinema with its underdog story and relatable hero."Rocky III" is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Rocky franchise. With its compelling narrative, memorable performances, and iconic soundtrack, the film captures the essence of what makes the Rocky story so captivating. It's a tale of resilience, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.For fans of the series and newcomers alike, "Rocky III" offers a powerful reminder of why Rocky Balboa remains one of cinema's most beloved characters. So, grab your popcorn, cue up "Eye of the Tiger," and join us as we celebrate the legacy of "Rocky III" on this episode of Born to Watch.Tune in next week for another deep dive into the films that have shaped our lives and left a lasting impact on the world of cinema.

Set in an imagined modern America following a devastating disaster, the film features an ensemble cast, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, Jason Schwartzman, Talia Shire, Grace VanderWaal, Laurence Fishburne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman.A longtime passion project for Coppola, who first conceived the film in 1977 and actively started developing it in 1983, Megalopolis underwent significant delays and numerous cancellations over the years, until Coppola revived the project in 2019 by spending $120 million of his own money on the film. It was filmed from November 2022 to March 2023. The film is Coppola's first directorial effort since 2011's Twixt, marking his longest gap between films.#megalopolis #francisfordcoppola #adamdriver Get early access to these reviews by joining Patreon or our YouTube channel! YouTube Membershiphttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvt8UhKoTahIIRGIwxzUVVA/joinPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/CinemondoPodcastJoin this channel to get access to fun perks like exclusive content and private Discord channel!:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvt8UhKoTahIIRGIwxzUVVA/joinOfficial Swag https://shop.spreadshirt.com/cinemondoNew videos daily!!Subscribe for the latest movie reviewshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvt8UhKoTahIIRGIwxzUVVA?sub_confirmation=1

The film follows Cru, a paperboy/diner employee who loves BMXing as he prepares for a race against the nations best BMX racers. Along the way, he meets Christian (Lori Loughlin), a biker for the Mongoose team who quickly falls in love with him. He also butts heads with Ms. Rocky Balboa herself, Talia Shire, and Duke Best (who might be the craziest person ever). It's a movie. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mediaobscura/support

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

Shat The Movies has dabbled in films from the 1970s, but we've never reached back this far. More than 50 years ago, a Francis Ford Coppola epic changed the way America viewed organized crime and set a new standard for storytelling. This is "The Godfather." And who better to commission this film about family than an Italian-American listener from New Jersey with fond memories of sharing mob movies with his dad? For Matt "Don Chachi" Ciampi, the Shat Crew pays its respects to Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Abe Vigoda and, yes, even Talia Shire. Shat The Movies editor Rob joins Gene and Dick as they debate "The Godfather" pacing, dissect the wedding scene and give props to Don Corleone's cat. Gene explains why Tom Hagen is an absolute badass, while Big D finds heroes in Michael and Vito Corleone. And Rob praises the genius of the dinner scene.  This movie is full of morality questions, and the Shat Crew gets into them: Was Michael a jerk for marrying Apollonia? Were the killings personal or just business? Should Vito have been more generous? Is Michael a villain? And, naturally, could "The Godfather" have been better without all the nepotism?  This is a big one, and we hope you enjoy it. Here's "The Godfather."
