Dirty Dancing

"Mr. Piggyton was real and all of us children were dancing and singing along with him. You were there too, Toby. It was the best dream I ever had." He tucked himself under the thin white sheets. "One day, I'm gonna have my own town where only children can play and nobody else. Just us children and Mr. Piggyton." Muffled sounds of yelling could be heard from outside the room. "Mommy and Daddy is arguing again." He turned to his side, facing the dirty wall and began loudly singing the show's theme…

The Mambo dance was originated by a Cuban bandleader, Perez Prado, in Havana, Cuba in the 1930s. It is a very sexy Latin style dance along with passionate and flirtatious hip movement that flows forward and backward.

Soviet Montage was a bold new theory of editing invented by Sergei Eisenstein. This new theory of montage allowed Eisenstein to make the audience think whatever he wanted them to think by arranging striking juxtapositions of individuals shots to suggest an idea that goes further than using a single shot to portray a message. It is an idea that ‘derives from the collision between two [or more] shots that are independent of one another’. (Taylor, Powell, pg 163) These montage sequences create…

united to be a moderately enjoyable cast - even despite the film’s lack of laugh-out-loud moments. To that point, Neighbors 2 is about as funny as its predecessor, although nowhere near as vulgar and gutter-happy as a film like Efron’s previous flick, Dirty Grandpa.

My familiarity with The Golden Age comes primarily from a film made ca. 1986 by a British company, if I remember correctly. It aired not long after on A&E, back in the days when Stacy Keach hosted its weekly performing arts program, and my homemade VHS tape subsequently got a lot of use. (Well, parts of it, anyway. Mostly the bits with Gediminas Taranda.) By then the ballet’s original Compere, Vladimir Derevianko, had left the USSR, so that part was played by Mikhail Tsivin, but otherwise the…
