Nathaniel Thanks You
26 November 2009 5:00 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
I am surely in a friend & food coma while you're reading this. Happily so! This Thanksgiving I'm grateful for all of you. You keep coming back daily to read the latest cinematic musings here at The Film Experience. Obsessing on the movies is really meant to be a team sport so I appreciate the fine company. They don't make movie theaters with one seat in them.
So thank you for being here daily from all over the world -- not just the States -- with an especially amorphous shout out to readers in Canada, the UK, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, Mexico and The Philippines. You've always been supportive. And a big hug to my magical elves contributors who've really helped keep the blog going during a difficult year.
Normal programming resumes tomorrow but I must give thanks to the following sources of cinematic happiness at the moment: ambiguous endings, »

Jose Gives Thanks.

Jose here.
Although we don't have anything resembling Thanksgiving in my culture (Penélope Cruz was talking about that on Letterman the other day) I have a special place in my heart (and stomach) for turkey, gravy and pumpkin pie.
I also feel very grateful for the following: Technicolor, Woody Allen banter, Judy Garland's smile, the millisecond of suspense between normal talking and spontaneous singing in the musicals, post-Volver Penélope, the Truffaut/Hitchcock book, still being thrilled by the sepia-to-color switch in The Wizard of Oz, Nino Rota and La Strada, Julia Roberts' laugh, Scarlett and Rhett, Bette Davis' eyes, Ingrid Bergman's Italian phase, Jett Rink, Jacques Tourneur horror flicks, The Blob, pre-supermom Gwyneth, Wall-e, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Anne Hathaway at award shows, Brando as Kowalski, Meryl!, Gene Kelly's butt, subtitles...

Birthday Suits: Deserve's Got Nothin' To Do With it

Celebrating the birthdays of the cinematic peoples daily. If you were born on 11/22 shout it out in the comments. How will you celebrate these fine folks, listed below?
Scarlett, Mark and Mads
1920 Anne Crawford Israeli born British actress of the 40s. Died when she was only 35.
1923 Arthur Hiller Canadian director. Oscar nominated for mega-hit Love Story (1970). Also known for comedies like The Out-of-Towners, Silver Streak and Outrageous Fortune and some erratically interesting choices like The Americanization of Emily, Man of La Mancha and Hollywood's first mainstream gay film Making Love (1982).
1932 Robert Vaughn The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and one of The Magnificent Seven
1940 Terry Gilliam crazy indispensible auteur. He doesn't deserve all the funding / filmmaking problems he's had of late. But, sadly, I can't really recommend The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus which is messy in dozens of ways
1956 Richard Kind character actor (A Serious Man)
1959 Jamie Lee Curtis actress of the Perfect bod, »

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. »

Oscar to Ingrid: Here's not looking at you, kid

Strange, but true: Ingrid Bergman wasn't nominated for best actress in "Casablanca," which won best picture of 1943. It's one of many shocking snubs in Oscar history. See who else Golden Boy slapped in the past — check out this forum thread where our posters are sighing, fuming and scratching their noggins over other snubs like Audrey Hepburn ("My Fair Lady"), Richard Gere ("Chicago") and one that, personally speaking, really ticks me off: Jim Carrey ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind").

"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 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").
