TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up




DA NEW ROOLZ

Each Tuesday a theme will be decided based on the Anniversary of some world event. All you have to do is trawl your reviews for any that relate to that event and post them here with a link. You can post as many as you wish, so long as either the film or your review clearly relates to the theme.

You don't have to say you voted unless you really want to - but you are expected to visit all the links posted.

Yours truly
Da Management


ON THIS DAY
in 1796 Napol�on Bonaparte married his first wife, Jos�phine de Beauharnais. He's been the hero of many films, both celebrated and condemned. Often ruthless and certainly ambitious, he also lifted restrictions enclosing Jews in ghettos - much to the displeasure of the Russian Orthodox Church which called him the AntiChrist.

So tuck your hand inside your jacket and roll out all your tricolor reviews about the short and determined Corsican who made it all the way up to Emperor.

Night at the Museum They have smaller parts than they were listed as having when I wrote this, but they are still in it.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure It presents this piece of history as though the mnemonic were SAP, but it's really SPA.

I have been fortunate to see this last film twice in its magnificent restored (thanks to Kevin Brownlow & Francis Coppola) version with full orchestra. An overwhelming experience.
