Things to do with your family this week
At home
We've become compulsive badge makers. It only takes a minute to create one, but one is never enough and our packet of safety pins was consumed quickly in a burst of creativity. We crafted a "Harry is six today" badge for a friend, moving on to emblems for our favourite causes before graduating to a clutch of fashion accessories. First get an image: draw one, cut out a photo from a magazine or print something from the internet. The more colourful the better. Then glue it to some card, tape a safety pin on the back and the job is done. For a deluxe version, laminate the front with clear tape or clingfilm.
We have created insignia that make us self-styled members of International Rescue (Thunderbirds are go!), name badges for fireman/doctor/nurse role-play, and emblems for our own dolphin lovers' club. »

Antagony... Introducing... Ingrid Bergman
Movies Kick Ass is excited about Gwyneth Paltrow joining Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl. I never believe these casting dealios until movies actually start filming. I mean, what will become of Goop if Gwynnie decides to make movies again?
Cinematical appreciates the grace and wit of Ian McKellen on... The View
Coming Soon Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan movie, a thriller about a ballerina (!) , keeps sounding more interesting: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis will now be joined by Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder (double yay!)

"Monsieur Verdoux" -- Starring Charlie Chaplin. Also starring Mady Correll, Isobel Elsom, Audrey Betz, Ada May, Martha Ray. Directed by Charlie Chaplin. (1947, 124mins, B&W) Chaplin called this film his "cleverest and most brilliant", but he is certainly not the familiar Tramp in it. He plays a suave serial killer who makes his living marrying and murdering lonely rich women. Chaplin turned this shocking conceit into a black comedy that seems surprisingly modern to us today -- especially in its presentation of the hypocrisy of societies that condemn murder committed by individuals but glorify war.
A rare big screen revival.

Oscar... Now With More Spirit Fingers
23 October 2009 8:36 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Shankman's got spirit!
Do you follow the Oscar show news in the way you follow the Oscars? I don't so much, despite this life I lead constantly writin' about the awards themselves. I care who hosts to some degree but I tend to ignore the rest. But I found it interesting this week when director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) was named as one of the producers and his choreography skills were noted as a reason to be enthused about this assignment. At least he has a sense of humor about his, um, limited history with the big event I was one of Paula Abdul's 'Under the Sea' pirates," Shankman said. "The last time I was at the Oscars, I was in Lycra, with a pirate hat on. Shankman's presence must mean more musical numbers. I'm all for musical numbers provided they rehire Hugh Jackman as host. He was so fine last year. »

Michael Mann to Direct Biopic of WWII Photographer Robert Capa
5 October 2009 8:14 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
According to the The Associated Free Press, Michael Mann has chosen World War II photographer Robert Capa as the subject of his next movie. The 66-year-old director — who helmed Collateral, The Insider, Heat, and this year's Public Enemies — will draw from the Susana Fortes novel Waiting for Robert Capa, which chronicles Capa's love affair with fellow photographer Gerda Taro.
Capa and Taro were perhaps most famous for the iconic photos they shot on the frontlines of the Spanish Civil War, many of which capture the human face of a dehumanizing war. The photos were also notable for their being dangerously close to wartime horrors. Check out these samples of Capa and Taro's work, courtesy of New York's International Center of Photography, which devoted exhibits to both two years ago.
The love affair between Capa and Taro was short-lived, as Taro was killed in 1937 in an accident involving a tank and a car carrying injured soldiers. »

Michael Mann To Make Robert Capa Film
5 October 2009 1:42 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Looks like Michael Mann has lined up his next film – a biopic of the legendary war photographer, Robert Capa.A Hungarian native who became famous for his compelling photographs of five major conflicts, including World War II, Capa was a complicated soul who also worked in Hollywood for a time, even dating Ingrid Bergman at one point.But it’s an earlier romance that apparently gave Mann a window into telling Capa’s tale after years of trying to adapt the man’s life. Capa conducted a two-year love affair with fellow photographer, Gerda Taro, during the Spanish Civil War, as documented in Waiting For Robert Capa, a new Spanish-language book by Susanna Fortes.It sounds like perfect Mann material, allowing him to paint another picture of a brilliant obsessive (see: all his other movies) while developing the romantic side that we’ve seen in Last Of The Mohicans, Miami Vice and Public Enemies. »
Michael Mann to Tell Robert Capa Story
4 October 2009 7:04 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Columbia Pictures and director Michael Mann are teaming together to tell the story of renowned war photographer Robert Capa and his two-year romance with fellow photographer Gerda Taro during the Spanish Civil War, according to Variety.
The studio has acquired the Spanish-language novel "Waiting for Robert Capa," by Spain's Susana Fortes, and signed on Jez Butterworth to adapt.
The story begins in Paris in 1935, where Capa, a refugee from fascist Hungary, met Taro, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War a year later began Capa's emergence as the most renowned war photographer ever and established Taro as the first frontline female battle photographer. She was killed in the Battle of Brunete in 1937.
Capa was shattered by Taro's death, and though he'd later romance the likes of Ingrid Bergman, Capa never married.
Some 4,300 photos taken mostly by Capa and Taro during the Spanish Civil War were recently discovered, »
A Single Actress (Julianne Moore and Oscar)
27 September 2009 10:49 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
There can be only one ...winner, that is.
This year's supporting actress contest (new predictions!), if you believe early hype, is down to Mo'Nique vs. ummmm? She's way out front for her abusive mother role in Precious. But with Julianne Moore's supposedly vivid contribution to Tom Ford's A Single Man newly exciting festival auds, we could see the redhead goddess nab her 5th career nomination. That's quite an honor, even if she never wins that elusive statue.
The Man That Got Away Keeps Getting Away
A couple of years ago I asked readers who the next Deborah Kerr would be. Which modern important actress will be forever appreciated but never fully embraced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences? Back then Kate Winslet was sort of gunning for the honor. Now that the English Rose has noisily moved into the winner's circle, the imaginary competition is back on. »

You Must Remember This.
29 August 2009 6:42 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Jose here to commemorate Ingrid Bergman who would've turned 94 today. The Swedish acting goddess starred in dozens of films, won three Academy Awards, two Emmys and the Tony Award for Best Actress in a career that spawned over four decades.
She is best known for her iconic role in Casablanca though she wasn't Oscar nominated for it. Her history with the Academy is rather bizarre. She was nominated seven times and even if she only lost on four of those occasions, it's still fair to say she was a bit underrated by them. Hollywood neglected some of her best work. Even the actress herself thought she was overrated at one point.
When she created chaos after engaging in an extra-marital affair with Italian neorrealist master Roberto Rossellini she also delivered some of her greatest work. Obviously the film industry ignored this and only accused her of immorality. But is it »

Reed’s Bargain Bin: S1m0ne
6 July 2009 10:15 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Reed’s Bargain Bin [1] is a recurring column where Reed Farrington tells us about a movie he bought for under $5, and whether or not he regrets the purchase. Despite the clever title and participation of Al Pacino, S1m0ne did not receive much attention from critics or movie theatre audiences when it came out in 2002. The director, Andrew Niccol, had some acclaim as a result of having directed Gattaca (a smart science fiction film about a physically defective human in a genetically manipulated world) and having written The Truman Show (a smart allegorical film about a man who's oblivious to the fact that his life has been manufactured for the purposes of a television show). S1m0ne also has a high concept idea behind it: a movie director creates a computer generated actor who becomes a star while only he knows that the actor is computer generated. I think I’ve had »

Critics' Picks

The New York Film Critics Circle, the nation's old est association of movie reviewers, turns 75 this year; and the Museum of Modern Art is marking the occasion with a 12-week series (Friday through Sept. 23) of award-winning films, each one chosen by a member of the group.
My choice, screening Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 10 at 4:30 p.m., is Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1954 French thriller "Les Diaboliques," shot in black and white, which does for bathtubs what Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" does for showers.

Geoffrey Rush earns acting triple crown with Tony Award win for 'Exit the King'
7 June 2009 6:55 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Geoffrey Rush became the 17th performer to win the acting triple crown of Oscar, Emmy, and Tony awards when he romped to victory tonight as best lead actor in a play. Astonishingly, Geoffrey Rush won each of these prestigious prizes on his first try – the Oscar for "Shine" in 1996, the Emmy for "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" in 2005, and now the Tony for "Exit the King."
Geoffrey Rush not only stars in this acclaimed production of the absurdist play by Eugene Ionesco but translated the text with director Neil Armfield. The Australian actor edged out performances by "God of Carnage" stars Jeff Daniels and James Gandolfini, Raul Esparza – who earned his third consecutive Tony nod for "Speed-the-Plow" – and newcomer Thomas Sadoski ("reasons to be pretty").

Victor Fleming: Did the Auteurist Theory Do Him Wrong?
27 May 2009 11:59 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
You must... you simply must set aside ten minutes today to read this terrific piece at The New Yorker on Victor Fleming and 1930s Hollywood. It digs into Fleming's heavily debated contributions to the twin immortals of 1939 (Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz -- he was a replacement director on both) and what it unearths is fascinating, indeed. Frankly my dears, I gave a damn... several damns if you're counting.
For instance, I knew that Vivien Leigh didn't like Fleming and was angry that George Cukor who worked with her closely on her performance was fired. But I had no idea how complex and influential Fleming's relationships to Hollywood's top actors (Gable prominent among them) and actresses actually were (nor what an actressexual -- ok womanizer but we're splitting hairs here -- Fleming was. He had affairs with Clara Bow, Norma Shearer, Lupe Velez and Ingrid Bergman »

Rossellini Tortured The Paparazzi
22 May 2009 9:15 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress/model Isabella Rossellini spent her childhood "torturing" the paparazzi who camped outside her family home in Italy.
The 56-year-old star is the daughter of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman and Italian director Roberto Rossellini, whose marriage attracted vast amounts of press attention.
But the young Rossellini was bemused by the constant presence of photographers outside their home as she was growing up - so she waged a "war" against them with her siblings.
Rossellini, her twin sister Isotta, and brother Roberto would spend their days pelting snappers with rocks and water - much to the horror of their mother Bergman.
She says, "The paparazzi were always there. We threw stones at them, and water. We had a war with them. My mother was just like, 'Stop! Stop! They will think I have some savage children and it will be my fault!' But we had a ball torturing them." »
Darth Vader Line Tops List of Most Famous Movie Misquotes
12 May 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
“Luke, I am your father” is a famous line from The Empire Strikes Back, one of the best Sci-Fi films of all time, right? Wrong. The line, which tops a list from the site I love film and is highlighted over at The Guardian, is actually “No, I am your father.” Its a line Vader says in response to Luke who told him Obi-Wan Kenobi said Vader killed his father. Oh well, it was pretty close.
Some of the other famous misquotes include a classic from Casablanca where Ingrid Bergman’s character supposedly utters the line “Play it again Sam.” Like the line from The Empire Strikes Back, this one isn’t in the movie either. What’s actually said is “Play it Sam. Play As Time Goes By”, which is close, but not correct. Also not correct is Dirty Harry’s famous “Do you feel lucky punk?” line form »
