DVD: Review:Marlene
8 September 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Actor-turned-filmmaker Maximilian Schell probably thought he’d scored a major coup when the legendarily reclusive Marlene Dietrich agreed to sit down and talk to him for a feature-length documentary about her career. But watching 1984’s Marlene, the fascinating, frustrating film that resulted, it’s safe to imagine that Schell had ample opportunity to curse his good fortune. Arguing that she’d been photographed enough for several lifetimes, the elderly Dietrich refused to be filmed, and she fought Schell for control over the film at every turn. So Marlene, almost by default, becomes a film less about a famous movie ... »
eBay find: Rita Hayworth’s screen-worn black satin dress from Gilda
4 September 2009 2:49 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »
While sniffing around exciting movie memorabilia lots on eBay, we rarely come across many screen-used wardrobe items that are over 30 years old, now add another ten years, and another, and another, and you’re getting close, for this week’s eBay find is a staggering 63 years old and is just as desirable and gorgeous now as it was then. Introducing the iconic black satin dress as worn by Tinseltown’s ‘love goddess’ Rita Hayworth in her most memorable film role, that of femme fatale Gilda in the 1946 noir classic of the same name. This is old school Hollywood glamour on a whole new scale…
Considered cinema’s hottest pin-up during the 40s, Hayworth positively smoldered on the silver screen in Gilda, performing an erotic one glove strip tease as she sang “Put the Blame on Mame”, radiating killer sex appeal at a time of incredibly strict censorship in films. And »
Interview: Inglourious Basterds' Diane Kruger
27 August 2009 7:48 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, two story lines, each containing a strong female character, converge in a violent, bloody finale. Actress Diane Kruger plays one of these women -- a 1940s German screen star named Bridget von Hammersmark. Famous, beautiful and beloved by the Germans, Bridget has a secret side working as an undercover agent for a group of Jewish American soldiers with plans to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Zorianna Kit: How was it playing someone in the vein of Marlene Dietrich, who could also hold her own with a group of men? Diane Kruger: Being German, I had a pretty precise idea of what a German movie star would be like. But I've never been shot at in a film. Most of those scenes are actually quite funny to shoot. ... »

Mad Men at the Movies. In this series we've been covering movie references made on the 1960s show. Even if you don't watch, you're here because you love talking 'bout the movies. Previously we covered a telling Gidget reference, a throwaway Wizard of Oz bit and the scandal of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Episode 4 mentions an ad campaign that featured Hollywood's A-List actresses.
1.4 "New Amsterdam"
Young account executive Pete Campbell is at dinner with the rich in-laws. The father in-law has some unsolicited advice.
Tom: You've got to get that Lux soap campaign over to Sterling Cooper. Janet Leigh, Natalie Wood -- now, there's a day at the office. I'm telling you, you boys have got it made: Martini lunches, gorgeous women parading through. In my next life I'm coming back as an ad man.
Pete Campbell: Well, there's slightly more to it than that.
Tom: Yeah? Well, I'd keep that to yourself. »

Q&A: Biographer Benjamin Moser on the Elusive Clarice Lispector
18 August 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | Vanity Fair | See recent Vanity Fair news »
Why This World, Benjamin Moser’s biography of Clarice Lispector, out this month from Oxford University Press, examines the life and work of a prolific and reputedly brilliant writer—whom you likely haven’t heard of. Lispector, who died in 1977, is memorably described as “that rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf.” She’s a writer’s writer, counting Orhan Pamuk, Colm Toibin, Jonathan Franzen, and Edmund White among her fans. But she has eluded a wider literary audience. Why This World fuses 20th-century micro-histories of the Ukranian pogroms, which Lispector fled as a child, and a preindustrial Brazil, where her family began anew, with Lispector’s personal story. Moser, who is the book reviewer for Harper’s Magazine, spoke to Vf.com from his home in the Netherlands last week. Vf Daily: How did you find Clarice? And decide she was worthy of a whole biography? »
Thn Review Feature: Inglourious Basterds
18 August 2009 5:06 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
I am trying to remember the first time that I saw a Quentin Tarantino movie. It was his debut Reservoir Dogs, and I first saw it at a late night screening session at my local multiplex in either 1993 or 1994. The movie had been denied a video release in the UK, so film chains like Odeon and I think Virgin Cinemas at the time, took it upon themselves to show the film late at night to a nation of filmgoers who literally couldn't get enough of this exciting new filmmaker. Then, just a couple of months later Pulp Fiction arrived on the scene, and that movie changed everything. The film won the Palme D'or, and the following year garnered a few Oscar nominations to boot. I fell in love with the film, and could not wait to get back to the cinema to see it again the following weekend.

From his well-documented foot fetish to on-set pranks, we give you a peek into the director's process.

Beverly Hills, California — By now, you know that Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is in theaters on Friday. You know it's got Nazi killers, scalpings galore and dialogue cooler than Freddie Jackson sipping a milkshake in a snowstorm. But where does it take Quentin's unique universe?
For the answer to that question, we went straight to the stars to get the scoop on Tarantino's unique filmmaking ways — past, present and future.
The Foot Thing — Hey, whatever Quentin is into is the dude's own business. But when you think about all those lingering foot shots of Uma Thurman ("Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction"), Bridget Fonda ("Jackie Brown") and the girls of "Death Proof," coupled with John Travolta's foot-massage speech in "Pulp Fiction" and »
Can Lady Gaga Top These Iconic MTV Vma Performances?

From Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' to Rihanna's layer cake, Gaga's got plenty of pop diva inspiration for her Vma debut.

Not only is Lady Gaga up for nine Moonmen at the VMAs this year as they embark on the singer's hometown of New York, but she's also just been tapped to perform at the live show on September 13 at 9 p.m. Et.
Gaga has yet to disappoint with her TV appearances on "American Idol," "Dancing With the Stars" and even "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" this year, so for a show as big as the VMAs, the expectations are high. Not only will the fashion-forward star have to top herself, but also the divas and pop princesses who have left indelible marks on the ceremony over the years. Just last year, Rihanna emerged from a towering industrial layer cake, and »
An Ex Spills About Cary Grant
3 August 2009 11:16 PM, PDT | NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news »
Cary Grant, the late big-time, huge-time movie star of the '40s, '50s and '60s, is getting a retrospective at Bam with a crateload of his films co-starring the top leading ladies of those decades, from Marlene Dietrich to Doris Day. Seems everyone's now resurrecting this epitome of suave. (Do not think Seth Rogen here.) Ex-wife Dyan Cannon, herself a movie star of the '70s and '80s, is writing a bio. By an odd coincidence, Operation Cary Grant ends the 20th. »

'Everybody wants to be Cary Grant," the iconic actor is supposed to have once joked. "Even I want to be Cary Grant."
The suave Grant (1904-1986), born Archibald Leach in England, is the subject of a rare retrospective opening tonight at the Bam Rose Cinemas with one of his earliest leading-man assignments.
He's a playboy dallying with married woman Marlene Dietrich in Josef von Sternberg's outrageous pre-code gem "Blonde Venus" (1932), which is best remembered for her appearance in a »

Inglourious Basterds (review)
1 August 2009 4:44 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Inglourious Basterds Directed by Quentin Tarantino Normally I approach a new Tarantino film with caution because more often than not, due to his fame and talent, his movies are severely hyped in the months leading up to their release; they are promoted with so much zeal and accompanied by so many industry buzz-words that I usually end up being slightly disappointed with the final product. It was the case with Kill Bill 1-2 and Death Proof. For Inglourious Basterds, however, I purposefully avoided reading early reviews (it has been screening at various festivals since Cannes) so that I could go in with a fresh mind and the opportunity to truly judge it for myself. In true Tarantino style, the movie is split up into chapters - five to be exact, which move the plot along extremely well. Most people who have only seen one or two trailers for this movie »

Greta Garbo's life and loves get the big screen treatment
16 July 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Through her life, Greta Garbo was famously for saying she vanted to be alone. But even almost 20 years after her death, we just can’t seem to let her have her wish. With a life and career as rich and interesting as Garbo’s, how could we? Well now, a new film project will delve further into the private life of the screen icon.
Tapped to play the reclusive screen icon is relative unknown Swedish-born, New York-based actress Anna-Karin Eskilsson. She looks a little like Garbo and Padma Lakshmi had a love child, no?
Eskilsson has had small, largely cameo roles in films like The Wrestler (as a flirt in the supermarket) and Sex and the City movie (as one of Charlotte’s girlfriends). Before being tapped for the lead in the new biopic she was a bartender at the Empire State Building Bar. From cocktail slinger to screen icon, »

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 »

Dietrich's Letters Sell For $4,200
24 June 2009 11:56 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
A collection of letters written by film legend Marlene Dietrich have sold for $4,200 (£2,800) at a German auction house.
Berlin's J.A. Stargardt auction house sold 130 letters, penned by the German-American actress to late Swedish costume designer Max Goldstein over a period of four decades, to a private bidder on Wednesday.
She writes in one note dated November 1969: "Either one is a world star or not. ... I feel uneasy in my own skin. Spiritually, of course."
A spokesperson for the auction house says, "These letters show an intimate and close friendship over a long period of time, through a business and private exchange between these two friends."
Dietrich died in Paris in 1992, aged 90. »
