Masters Of Song Fu #5: Round 2 Challenge Revealed!
18 November 2009 10:16 PM, PST | Quick Stop | See recent Quick Stop news »
We here at Quick Stop Entertainment are true lovers of music, in all its forms. We’re also quite keen on the spirit of competition, and of spurring creativity through said competition.
To that end, we launched a unique form of creative combat here at the Stop.
In this age of manufactured and painfully earnest talent contests, we’ve decided to instead shine a light on the quirky, quixotic underworld of musicians that don’t get nearly the attention they deserve.
Ah, but I did mention that there was a competition involved…
Like a songwriting version of Iron Chef, the competitors will be presented with a very specific songwriting challenge. They’ll be given one week to complete their songs - however they see fit, within the parameters set forth - after which time the entries will be uploaded to Quick Stop to be voted on by you, the audience. »

Two Terrific New 'From Paris with Love' Posters
10 November 2009 8:43 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
Almost exactly a year after Taken stormed American theaters, director Pierre Morel will return with From Paris With Love, a great title for a movie that is about the exact opposite. Oh sure, it's Paris, but love is probably the wrong emotion.
The film stars John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte or Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan or Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. Only in France. I hate to be so reductive about it, but it's an oil-and-water cop movie; the rest is just details.
However, From Paris with Love has some of the coolest posters in the game this year. The first, a flip of the Eiffel Tower as a gun, is terrific, and I like these new character posters, too. Click to enlarge: »

On top of the titles listed below I also watch the Criterion Blu-ray for Howards End and the Blu-ray for Warner Home Video's North By Northwest, both of which will be reviewed on Tuesday along with the Criterion Blu-ray for Wings of Desire. On top of that I watched the Blu-ray for Disney/Pixar's Up, which will be reviewed in a couple of weeks along with the Blu-ray versions of Monsters, Inc. and Cars.
As for the titles listed below, the first three are the final three of Sony's November 3 release of Film Noir Collection Volume One after I discussed my thoughts on The Sniper and 5 Against the House last week. You can get more details on the complete set right here and a link to buy the set is included with all three films below. As a quick note, the only one of the five I didn't particularly »

Kurt Russell As Hans Solo In Star Wars Audition
30 October 2009 11:51 AM, PDT | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Lots of famous folks were up for the part of Hans Solo in “Star Wars”. Thankfully, Harrison Ford came away with the job. Besides Harrison, actors like Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson and even Steve Martin were considered for the part. Here’s one guy that I think could have pulled it off. Kurt Russell’s audition was a little dry but I think Kurt would have brought the humour and the attitude eventually. Here’s his game effort to land Han. While I’m at it, just for giggles is a few more auditions of the lucky bunch that caught Uncle George’s attention. Via Cinematical. »

Watch This: Kurt Russell Auditioning for 'Star Wars'
30 October 2009 10:45 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
After reading Peter Hall's post on Kevin Spacey's stunning impersonations, I had to reacquaint myself with the old SNL sketch he mentioned and get as much Spacey as I could. (Check it out if you have no idea what I'm talking about.) From there, well, the handy site called YouTube suggested something else for me -- Kurt Russell's Star Wars audition.
If you didn't already know, he was one of the many actors vying for the role of Han Solo (according to IMDb, a list including Nick Nolte, Christopher Walken, Jack Nicholson, and even -- egads -- Steve Martin). What's funny about the clip (after the jump) is how completely earnest and goodie Russell was playing it -- almost like the good-natured Disney fare from his youth. There was none of the true cockiness, ego, or charisma that made the character so memorable. No, no one could »

Actor Nick Nolte's son has been arrested in Santa Monica, California on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Brawley King Nolte was busted by police on Tuesday after trying to change lanes and colliding with another car.
He was taken into custody after failing field sobriety tests and showing signs of impairment, and was booked for DUI and possession of a controlled substance.
The 23 year old is currently being held on $5,000 (£3,330) bail, reports TMZ.com.
Nolte Sr., 68, was sentenced to three years' probation himself after he was caught driving under the influence in Malibu, California in 2002. »

TMZ has learned Nick Nolte's son was arrested for suspicion of DUI and possession of a controlled substance yesterday in Santa Monica. Law enforcement sources tell us Brawley King Nolte -- who starred as the kidnapped kid in "Ransom" back in the day -- struck another vehicle while making a lane change yesterday afternoon.

1999: A Year In Review (Part One)
7 October 2009 9:07 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Many films come out every year with critics and fans alike, compiling lists of their bests and worsts. There are also many films that fall between the cracks, only to be discovered years later. Many critics believe that one of the best years in cinema was 1939, when Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz were released alongside many other classic gems.
Personally, I’ve always felt that 1999 was an epic year for movies, providing us with so many interesting films. In fact, 1999 was such a good year for movies that even some of the bad ones are still worth watching!
So, please sit back and put your memory caps on as Screen Rant takes on a retrospective of 1999 in the world of film.
In 1999, the world was a very different place. We were on the cusp of a new millennium and 9/11 was something that nobody - not even »

The actor talks about voicing Superman in this brand new animated DVD
Tim Daly is an actor who is well-versed in both live-action and animated work. After providing the voice of the Man of Steel for the animated Superman TV series, Daly branched out into live-action work with roles in such hits as Joe Hackett on Wings and his current TV gig as Dr. Pete Weber on Private Practice. Weber has returned to his animated roots, though, providing the voice for Superman once again with Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, which just hit the shelves on DVD and Blu-ray today, September 29. We were provided with a new interview session that Daly conducted and here's what he had to say about this new film and voicing Superman in general.
Can you recall your initial audition for Superman?

Exclusive: Luke Wilson And His Brother Andrew To Co-Direct 'Electric Avenue'
22 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Brothers Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson are frequently in the news for one reason or another, but it's a rare day that we reporters get to speak with the other Wilson brother, Andrew. He works in Hollywood, just like his siblings. He's had roles in "Fever Pitch," Mike Judge's "Idiocracy," "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Zoolander" and Drew Barrymore's upcoming directorial debut, "Whip It." He even co-directed 2005's "The Wendell Baker Story" with Luke.
Now, brothers Luke and Andrew are all set to direct together again. Speaking with MTV's Josh Horowitz while promoting "Whip It," Andrew revealed the first details on "Electric Avenue.
Hit the jump for more on this Wilson-driven project.
"I'm gonna direct again. Luke and I are going to do something... called 'Electric Avenue' starting in January or February," Andrew said. "It's going to be [starring] Luke and," he pauses... "somebody else who I'm not at liberty to »

The Wilson Brothers who teamed up to direct The Wendell Baker Story, Luke and Andrew Wilson will be teaming up again to direct Electric Avenue. Before you get too excited, it has nothing to do with the Eddy Grant song. Andrew explains that it's more like an awesome Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte team up from the 80s, "It's kind of like a '48 Hrs.'-type buddy comedy. Except instead of cops, they're reporters." Okay interesting, I usually enjoy most things that involve a Wilson brother... »

DVD Weekly Roundup – Mon 21st September 09
18 September 2009 4:20 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Seeing as Craig has already covered State Of Play I won’t go into much detail here.
I suggest you read his detailed review and all I’m going to add is that it really is an intelligent ensemble piece that has good acting from an impressive cast.
It’s nice to see a smart American film for a change, one that actually has something to say and a message to bring across. It’s a shame that it didn’t light up the box office because it deserved success.
Definitely worth your time if you are looking for a higher level of entertainment.
State Of Play is also available on Blu-Ray

The 4th in the series reunites the original cast for more pedal to the metal action.
This time Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto join forces to bring an evil heroin importer to justice. »

Kanye West Takes On The Remakes In 2010
16 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
I’m the first to admit that remakes are rarely, if ever, a good idea. We can hardly claim, as a culture, that we prize originality over all else. We’re gluttons for the good stuff. Like movies based on 1980s cartoons? We’ll make more! Y’all like vampires in love? Have all the lovey dovey vampires you can handle! Imitation is a-okay, but giving us the exact same thing? That’s how you piss an audience off.
A remake is just a reflection of something the audience already loves, not a straight reproduction. That’s a hurdle many of 2010’s biggest movies are facing. The first six months of next year are chock full of marquee remakes, releases that are bound to stoke fan ire when they fail to meet expectations. I, however, have a solution for the makers of these films: Kanye West. Just look at his Vma outburst! »

Will The Duke Abide Jeff Bridges In The Coen’s ‘True Grit’ Remake?
11 September 2009 1:40 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
So we all know that the classic John Wayne western True Grit is being remade, and based on past comments here and elsewhere not too many people are thrilled about it. Of course the number of folks willing to give it a chance increases when they discover that the Coen brothers are attached to direct. If you count yourself as a member of that camp that you'll be happy to hear the movie is moving forward and may be closer to production than previously thought. True Grit introduced Rooster Cogburn, a hard-drinking, gruff, and one-eyed Us Marshall, who finds himself enlisted by a teenage girl in her quest for revenge against the man who killed her father. The pair are joined by a Texas Ranger who's after the same man, and their quest brings them deep into Indian territory. The question then becomes who should take on the iconic role of Cogburn that won Wayne an Oscar »

Little Scene: The Films of Alejandro Jordorowsky
10 September 2009 9:36 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Alejandro Jordorowsky certainly is a strange and amazing fellow. It's extremely sad though that only a small amount of people have had the chance to find out just how strange and amazing the artist's works actually are. He has heavily influenced everyone from The Beatles to David Lynch to Sam Fuller and Bob Dylan. Despite his popularity, it has been his own film's content which has in many cases helped put his own head in the stocks and his films on the shelf. Their confronting, bizarre, often overtly religious, and always graphic imagery puts viewers through the ringer and his disregard for convention is almost seizure inducing. In the man's own words; "I ask of film what most people ask of psychedelic drugs" and anyone who has seen any of his amazingly surreal work will know for sure that he doesn't lie. But it isn't all just weird for werid's sake. »

Photos: Celebrities Who Look-Alike
9 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
For as long as I can remember, I had trouble telling the difference between Ron Silver and Andy Garcia. Their backgrounds are completely different, but they just happen to look-alike. Early on, I also though that Ed Burns looked like Ben Affleck, Will Smith looked like basketball player Robert Horry, and Tom Cruise looked like Scott Wolf. Oh yeah, and Joaquin Phoenix now looks like the Unabomber. Now, the MyFunnyCoolPics blog put together a list of celebrities who look-alike and got the photos to prove it. Actors like Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen) and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) are on the list, and so are Gary Busey and Nick Nolte. Check out the photos below and let us know which celebrities you constantly confuse with each other. Photos: (click to enlarge) »
Walter Hill: The Hollywood Interview

Director Walter Hill.
Kicking Ass with Walter Hill
by Jon Zelazny
Action flicks. Two-fisted tales. Guy movies. Whatever you want to call them, writer, producer, and director Walter Hill is one of the living masters, with a resume full of classics from The Getaway (1972), to the Alien series, and the definitive eighties action-comedy blockbuster, 48 Hrs. (1982).
2009 marks the 30th anniversary of The Warriors (1979), Hill’s surreal “street gang on the run” cult classic, and his breakout success as a director.
Jon: A couple years ago, you did an audio commentary and on-camera intro for a new DVD edition of The Warriors. It was the first time I’d ever seen you; is it my imagination, or have you kept a low profile over the years?
Walter Hill: I’d never done a commentary before on one of my films. I don’t like the idea of explaining a movie; I »
