Rating: PG
Release Date: July 1, 2009
Plot: Manny (Romano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah) are expecting a little mammoth. Lost in preparations, the herd begins to disintegrate. Then Sid (Leguizamo) steals some T-Rex eggs and before he knows it, is whisked off to a subterranean dinosaur haven. He’s about to become a sloth burger, so the rest of the herd heads off after him with the help of a weasel that’s out of his mind (Pegg).
Who’s It For? Did you see either of the first two Ice Age movies? What if you could splice The Land Before Time in the middle and make it 3D? If that sounds good, then yeah, you’ll like this.
Expectations: I really enjoyed the first Ice Age movie, and the second as well,

Flynn Honoured In Australia
22 June 2009 9:25 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Late Hollywood superstar Errol Flynn has been honoured in his hometown of Hobart, Australia - with locals erecting a permanent memorial to the actor.
Flynn, who famously shunned his native Tasmania - referring to Ireland as his home country - has been given a star on the sidewalk outside Hobart's heritage State Cinema.
It is hoped the star will mark the beginning of a Hollywood-style walk of fame in the city.
Flynn's relatives, including his daughter Rory Flynn and grandson Sean Flynn, turned out for the unveiling ceremony in Hobart, which commemorated the star's 100th birthday on 20 June 1909.
Rory told the crowd, "I'm here to celebrate the birthplace of my father, to celebrate his films and all the happiness that he's brought millions of people around the world. People have really come out of the woodwork here. I've found more cousins and relatives than I ever dreamed I have. I've heard more stories about my father growing up here, and I've actually learned a lot about my father."
Flynn, best known for his role in 1938's The Adventures of Robin Hood, died of a heart attack in 1959 at the age of 50.
Exclusive! Wesley Eure of TV's "Land of the Lost" Comes Out
3 June 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news
For many gay and bisexual men of a certain age, the first inkling that they weren’t like other boys came on Saturday mornings from 1974 to 1976, in the form of a television show called The Land of the Lost. The show, about a father and his two children who were stranded in a mysterious land of dinosaurs, also featured vicious, but curiously slow-moving reptilian humanoids called Sleestak. Now the classic kids’ program by Sid and Marty Krofft, the producers of H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, has even been made into a feature film starring Will Ferrell, opening this Friday.
But it wasn’t just the gloriously campy-even-at-the-time nature of the show itself that appealed to gay boys. It was also the fact that it featured the role of Will, the Marshall’s handsome teenage son, played by an actor billed only as “Wesley,” but whose full name is Wesley Eure.

[DVD Review] TCM Spotlight: Doris Day Collection
21 April 2009 2:55 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
The TCM Spotlight Doris Day Collection, with its pretty in pink packaging, is not a bad start for those wanting to get familiar with one of America’s favorite sweethearts of the studio days. This is the fourth Doris Day box set released by Warner Home Video after two collections and a Doris Day/Rock Hudson set in 2007. To see Day’s best and more famous pictures like Pillow Talk (which earned her an Academy Award nod) and Teacher’s Pet, one must seek those earlier sets, but the advantage of this particular set is that it contains five of Doris Day’s earlier films, from within the first five years of her debut (save for The Tunnel of Love), so you’ll be able to follow her blooming success.
It’s a Great Feeling is the earliest film on the set. It was Day’s third film and her breakout role.

Russell Crowe Draws His Bow For 'Robin Hood'
20 April 2009 7:03 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
The first photo of Russell Crowe as the titular archer in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood has appeared online, courtesy of USA Today. (The whole photo is below the jump.) It's a nice, atmospheric shot with a very respectable and relatively accurate costume. The medievalist in me is automatically annoyed at Brian Grazer bragging about the costume: "He's got armor. He's very medieval. He looks, if anything, more like he did in Gladiator than anything we're used to seeing with Robin Hood." I mean, do people still expect Robin Hood to wear tights? I suppose they do, even though its not accurate, and no one has sported them onscreen since the days of Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks (not counting Cary Elwes). Most Robin Hoods wear sturdy, cool outfits nowadays, with lots of leather.
I do think it's funny Crowe went back to his Gladiator haircut after wearing that weird

First Look At Russell Crowe's Robin Hood
20 April 2009 2:06 AM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news
The first shot of Russell Crowe as Robin Hood in the new Ridley Scott film has hit the net – and anyone who’s going to see Crowe in this weekend’s State Of Play might be pleasantly surprised to see that the 45 year-old actor is back in Gladiator mode.The hair… the physique… the glowering, ready-for-action stare… it’s all there, with a couple of slight differences. The massive bow and arrow, for one. And the new, updated version of Hood’s famous scarlet green tights – no Errol Flynn-style cap for Crowe. "He's got armor. He's very medieval,” producer Brian Grazer told USA Today.Filming on the project, which now seems to have been officially named Robin Hood, started only a couple of weeks ago, so this is a very quick first look at the new Robin. And we’re impressed. Hie thee along to USAToday.com to see

Peter Cornwell: The Hollywood Interview with the Director of The Haunting In Connecticut

(Director Peter Cornwell during the production of his stop-motion short Ward 13, above, photo by Glenn Watson)
By Terry Keefe
(Exclusive to The Hollywood Interview. The director of The Haunting in Connecticut sits down with us to talk about the making of his first feature, as well as the creation of his rollicking and hilarious stop-motion short, Ward 13.)
Ward 13, director Peter Cornwell’s 2003 micro-budgeted stop motion short film, is easily one of my all-time favorite pieces of animation. The 14-minute film introduces us to the plight of Ben, a heavily-bandaged man who wakes up in a true hospital from hell, and spends most of the rest of the story attempting to escape from evil doctors who seem intent on performing experiments of mutation upon him. The set pieces are marvels of action-comedy, with enough escalating stakes, pitfalls, and pay-offs to rival the best of vintage Spielberg. Mixed throughout

Actor Tim Roth
Tim Roth Is Telling No Lies
By
Alex Simon
Editor's Note: This article appears in the March issue of Venice Magazine.
One of the film world’s great chameleons, Tim Roth was born in London May 14, 1961, the son of a journalist and a school teacher. After dropping out of art school, Roth was discovered by maverick British director Alan Clarke, and cast in his incendiary 1982 study of the skinhead movement in the UK, Made in Britain. Tim Roth hasn’t stopped working since, with over 70 feature and TV roles to his credit including such iconic titles as The Hit, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, Vincent and Theo, Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, Woody Allen’s Everyone Says I Love You, and most recently, the lead in Francis Coppola’s first feature in ten years, Youth Without Youth.

Russell Crowe's Robin Hood to woo Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian: Will he finally be reunited with Oscars as well?
26 February 2009 1:21 PM, PST | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news
Because Cate Blanchett and her playwright husband Andrew Upton are co-artistic directors of the Sydney Theatre Company she has scaled back her film commitments to barely one a year. That makes the news that Blanchett is about to sign up to play Maid Marian opposite Russell Crowe's Robin Hood even more intriguing.
This legend of rogues and romance has been the inspiration for many films, including 1938 best picture nominee "The Adventures of Robin Hood," which starred Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland — it lost to "You Can't Take It With You." In 1976's "Robin and Marian," Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn played the pair in their later years. And in 1991's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves," a miscast Kevin Costner and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio starred.
Sienna Miller was attached to this project but exited last fall. Cate Blanchett is much better matched to hold her own against Russell Crowe.

Robin & Marian Redux
26 February 2009 9:30 AM, PST | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
As you may have heard the 39th film version of Robin Hood is in progress. I might be exaggerating on the number but not by much, the point being that there's another one coming about that man who robs from the rich to give to the poor [I can hear the wingnut editorials now "ack! redistribution of wealth! ack!!!" still unable to see that rich people are also into the redistribution of wealth -- no bid contracts, unfair wages, outsourcing -- so long as it's redistributed to them]. Ridley Scott is directing this version, formerly called Nottingham, which means that Russell Crowe is the star. This will mark their 5th movie together. Maybe they're trying to catch up to Tim Burton & Johnny Depp who are hitting lucky #7 with Alice in Wonderland which will be out in 2010, same year as this Robin Hood.
Every generation gets at least one version of the story of
the honorable thief and his fair maiden
It's also no surprise that Cate Blanchett has signed to co-star as Maid Marian -- offers hit her inbox at the rate spam hits yours. That said she seems like a decent choice.

"Ho! Haha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha - Thrust!"
25 February 2009 4:50 PM, PST | From Planetallstar.com | See recent Planet All-Star news
You have to give it to Hollywood for the incredible ability to take a perfectly good idea and, through ceaseless meetings, conference calls, studio notes and rewrites, turn it into the same crap you've doubtlessly seen a thousand times before, and if you wanted to watch it again, you'd put in the DVD.
This is what I thought when I read that Ethan Rieff and Cyrus Voris' script for "Nottingham," a "re-imaging" (God I hate that word) of the Robin Hood story, told through the eyes of the Sheriff of Nottingham, was been turned into "Robin Hood." According to Variety, "Robin Hood" is now director Ridley Scott's new take on "Gladiator," with Robin of Locksley unleashing hell, presumably, on the Sheriff who was the good guy three drafts back. Because it's a Ridley Scott film, of course Russell Crowe will play Robin (their fifth film together) and all

Nottingham Is Now Robin Hood (And Less Interesting)
20 February 2009 9:27 AM, PST | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Hollywood is rarely original, we all know that due to continuous remakes, adaptations of books, TV shows, comics and games. However, once in a while someone surprises us with an original idea or an original take on an old idea.
Nottingham was such a project.
Last year Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe promised a unique take on the Robin Hood legend that would portray the Sheriff of Nottingham as the hero and Robin Hood as the villain. The project was delayed due to some script issues, and then it emerged that Crowe would be playing both Nottingham (the sheriff not the city) and the legendary Robin Hood.
However, now Ridley Scott has announced that the film has undergone major changes and that the film will now simply be called Robin Hood and will follow the career of the titular hero.
Haven’t we been to this well many times before?

Robin Hood: Monster Slayer in Tights?
12 February 2009 2:38 AM, PST | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news
If Robin Hood is such a great hero you'd think he'd be able to work in some monster fighting in between all his robbing from the rich to give to the poor. That's why all Robin Hood movies in the past have sucked: lack of monsters. Thank goodness we have the Sci-Fi Channel around to rectify such mistakes.
I'd first heard about Robin Hood: Beyond Sherwood what seems like ages ago. It's only just now that progress is being made. Working from a script by Chase Parker, the writer of such other Sci-Fi offerings as Basilisk: The Serpent King, Reign of the Gargoyles, and the all-time classic Boa vs. Python, actor-director Peter DeLuise ("21 Jump Street", "Stargate Sg-1") helms this ultimate tale of merry ol' England's favorite tights-wearing, forest-dwelling, arrow-shooting, always-sticking-it-to-the-man swashbuckler as he squares off with a fiendish monster brought forth by the Sheriff of Nottingham, now in the post-production phase.

Digital Pirates Threaten to Sink Hollywood
5 February 2009 6:55 AM, PST | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news
Where is Errol Flynn when you need him? In the good old days, Hollywood didn't lose money from pirates -- they made money from them. As the New York Times reports, however, the movie industry is beginning to suffer the same fate as the music industry, now that increasing bandwidth and better streaming technologies make it so easy to watch bootlegged copies of movies still in theaters.
Eventually, of course, Hollywood won't have any money left to make movies, but so what? That just means Lindsay Lohan will have more time to party, and we'll finally get around to watching E.T. and Wild Strawberries.

In Search Of Sean Flynn's "Temple Of The White Elephant"
29 January 2009 6:04 PM, PST | From Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news
Dear Staff of Cinema Retro:
Your magazine is the best of its type and along with FilmFax is one of my favorite reads! Your most recent issue was especially interesting. What caught my eye was the ad for "The Crimson Blade". I have been doing research re: the forgotten films of Sean Flynn, son of Errol Flynn. (I did notice when "the Italian offerings" were mentioned, there was no mention of 1962's "Il Figlio del Capitano Blood"!) The interesting coincidence is that when "The Son of Captain Blood" premiered in the U.K. in 1963, released by Warner-Pathe, in some regions it was shown on a double bill with Hammer's "The Scarlet Blade", which as I am sure your staff knows is the original title of the film released in the U.S.A. as "The Crimson Blade"! Also according to articles I have been reading re: the release of Sean Flynn

2008 in Review: The Top Five Film Interviews of HollywoodChicago.com
17 January 2009 7:19 PM, PST | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news
Chicago – After participating in close to 25 interviews in 2008 for HollywoodChicago.com, the mechanics of each sit down are interestingly similar. The reporters gather at a pre-determined spot (usually a Chicago downtown hotel).
And then either one-by-one or part of group, we are led into the inner sanctum of the actor or director’s interview room. Then, getting anywhere from 14 to 40 minutes, we get to ask questions.
Sometimes there are phone interviews. Nothing is more surreal than sitting in the home office, surrounded by everything that is familiar, and talking to one of the industry’s most notorious playwrights or an admired character actor.
The goal of each profile became the opportunity to either ask a question the interviewee had never heard, or to get a nugget of information that distinguishes the film or television show that they’re promoting. It is a terrific challenge.
After assessing all of the 2008 interviews,
