Gold Derby nuggets: 411 on 'Nine' | Two perspectives on 'Avatar' | Four toons top 50 Oscars snubs

• Tony-winning composer Maury Yeston talked in great detail to Harry Haun about the journey of "Nine" from screen (as "8 1/2") to stage and back to screen. "There are only two ways to approach Broadway shows becoming movies," Yeston says. "One of them is to be an over-controlling fuddy-duddy and not let anybody change anything. The other is to step back and go with the new medium." For Yeston, "The adaptation back into film was a very organic one that made a tremendous amount of sense. It was a great opportunity to allow this piece -- which had been so cinematic to begin with -- to find again its place in the grammar of cinema. That means things like dissolves, edits, close-ups, lighting effects -- things film can do for exposition to get inside the mind." Playbill

Roger Corman: Scorsese, Stallone, Sayles, and other A-listers talk about the B-movie king
13 November 2009 12:48 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
He gave life to teenage cavemen and candy-stripe nurses. Crab monsters and humanoids from the deep. T-bird gangs and towns that dreaded sundown. His name is Roger Corman. And on Nov. 14, he will receive an honor that no one would have predicted: an honorary Academy Award. The 83-year-old B-movie titan has made nearly 400 films as a director and producer. From the start, Corman was a magnet for hungry young actors, writers, and directors who would work for slave wages for the chance to make their first film. They called it the "University of Corman," and the alumni include Francis Ford Coppola, »

Culture Zohn Off the C(H)uff: Roger Corman and His Oscar
12 November 2009 9:08 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The list of Roger Corman protégés is amazingly long and stuffed with goodies of all persuasions. There are the famous men: Scorcese (Box Car Bertha); Demme (Caged Heat, Crazy Mama), Nicholson (Little Shop of Horrors), Joe Dante (Cockfighter), Francis Coppola (Battle Beyond the Sun), Ron Howard (Grand Theft Auto) Sylvester Stallone (Death Race 2000), Bruce Dern, Robert De Niro (Bloody Mama) Peter Fonda ( The Wild Angels), Peter Bogdanovich (Saint Jack) Curtis Hanson (Sweet Kill) and Jonathan Kaplan (Night Call Nurses) and those are just a few of the guys who wrote to the Motion Picture Academy to advocate for the award that Corman is finally getting this weekend. Corman with Jonathan Demme. They said, "it is virtually impossible to separate our various entries into the film industry from Roger Corman and his obsession with working with newcomers."

Vilmos Zsigmond: From Hungary with Cameras
12 November 2009 2:35 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A new documentary about film-maker Vilmos Zsigmond shows the risks he took filming secret footage of Soviet troops in Hungary
The visionary Hungarian-born cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond does not care, I suspect, to dwell in the emotional terrain of the past. Perhaps the roots of that lie in the dying embers of 1956, when Soviet troops invaded his homeland and crushed the Hungarian revolution. To look back then, as he fled Budapest with clandestinely shot footage, would have meant death. "We had to be careful," Zsigmond says, "because the Russians had killed people just for taking still photographs."
Zsigmond's life is the subject of a warmly received documentary by James Chressanthis called No Subtitles Necessary: Laszlo & Vilmos, which has just reached Los Angeles. The Laszlo in question is the late, great cinematographer László Kovács, Zsigmond's spiritual brother and companion on that fateful flight to the Austrian border more than half a century ago, »

Taking Woodstock and cinema's love of trippy scenes | Anne Billson
12 November 2009 2:30 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
There are plenty of trippy movie scenes – but watching them sober makes you feel like the designated driver in a roomful of drunks
Thirty-six years ago, I dropped a tab of Lsd. It was Ok, but I never felt the urge to do it again, and never thought much about it – until the other day, when I was watching Taking Woodstock. To the sound of Love's The Red Telephone, Ang Lee serves up an acid trip so uncannily spot-on, I swear it gave me my first ever flashback.
It's not as though there's ever been a shortage of trippy scenes in films. It's just they always seemed to chime more with the experiences of the film-makers than with my own. Indeed, watching them sober, you often feel like the designated driver in a roomful of babbling drunks. In the aptly-named The Trip, Peter Fonda has a psychedelic experience in which, »

Martyn’s Top Ten Vampire Films
11 November 2009 7:43 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
The vampire has been a key figure in folklore, literature, television and cinema. Its popularity, at present, has never been so high. It is easy to see the appeal: immortality and sex. Since death is the fate that awaits us all, a creature that we invent and imbue with an indeterminate lifespan, captivates the collective imagination like no other. Due to sexual liberalism and relaxed censorship of the 1960s, the erotic sensibilities inherent in the mythology were allowed to fruition in cinema. What once was implied, could now be shown in all its sexy glory (see the films of Jean Rollin). Gothic horror and romanticism may be the classic home of the vampire, but in cinema, they have found a new place to spread wider-reaching nightmares.
In recent times, the everlasting monster has been tamed. Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga saw them turn into something akin to vegetarians and teen heart-throbs, »

Californication Review: "So Here's the Thing..."
8 November 2009 8:15 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Welcome to the mid-season slump! Talk about a boring episode! In the most recent episode of Californication, "So Here's the Thing," Hank almost breaks up with all of his campus affairs, but he doesn't succeed at all... so the 29 minutes of the show is pretty much a bunch of failures in communication - but not at all funny. There weren't even any witty one-liners this episode! Snore!
And iconic actor Peter Fonda made a cameo as one of Sue Collini's most important clients. There really was no story line here - he threatens to join another agency, and then concedes within 5 minutes - all within the same scene. Zzzzz...
Ah, yes! There was one redeeming moment of the episode! During Hank's unsuccessful break-up lunch with Jill, she sees her ex boyfriend who wasted years of her life (and most importantly, her reproductive golden years) in a relationship with her and »

The Blu-Ray Review: Easy Rider
4 November 2009 8:59 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
While I definitely acknowledge that Easy Rider is a classic film, that doesn't mean I think it's very good. Confusing? Perhaps, but it doesn't have to be.
To me, a "classic" is anything that stands the test of time and remains enjoyable after many years or that made a significant impact upon the genre. I'd argue that Rider doesn't qualify in the former category but that it certainly meets the latter criteria. When I watched the original DVD, it was the third time I saw Easy Rider. I first viewed it on VHS about 15 years earlier and I absolutely loathed it. Since I didn't really experience the Sixties firsthand - I only lived through two and a half years of that decade, so for some strange reason, my memories of it remain few - I have to rely on the media's depictions to give me knowledge of it.

Expected: ‘Boondock Saints II’ to open in more cities
4 November 2009 8:26 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
It was only a mater of time.
Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day will expand to more theaters across the nation after the sequel to the 1999 cult hit performed well in limited release. Film distributor Apparition will open the movie in more cities including San Francisco, Dallas, San Diego, Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston on November 13th.
Boondock Saints II nabbed $500,000 last weekend in Los Angeles in New York. Using a tactic most recently used by Paramount’s Paranormal Activity, producers set up a web page asking fans to “demand” that the film be shown in their area.
Directed by Troy Duff , the Boondock sequel stars Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery, Clifton Collins, Julie Benz, Judd Nelson, Robert Cochrane Marley Jr., Brian Mahoney, David Ferry, David Della Rocco, Peter Fonda and Billy Connolly.

Fonda: 'We Smoked Real Pot On Easy Rider'
31 October 2009 7:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper smoked real cannabis during a scene for movie classic Easy Rider.
Fonda has confessed the trio used "real pot" to capture the moment Nicholson's character tries the drug for the first time.
But he refutes longstanding rumours they took Lsd on the set of the 1969 movie.
Fonda tells Extra, "We did not take Lsd, no matter what the rumours say. You can't make a movie when you're ripped like that." »

Exclusive Video: Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus Are Back in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day
30 October 2009 10:55 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Way back in 1999, a film unbeknownst to practically everyone, was released in a miniscule theatrical rollout before it hit the shelves on DVD, then only available at Blockbuster. As the word-of-mouth kept growing and growing, the DVD was finally available for purchase in 2002 and not long after that, Troy Duffy's The Boondock Saints became a cult phenomena, the likes of which are rarely seen in the movie biz. Now, a decade later, Troy Duffy is finally able to round up the Saints once more for the highly-anticipated sequel The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, which will be released in theaters on October 30.
Of course, the Saints themselves, Sean Patrick Flanery as Connor, Norman Reedus as Murphy, and Billy Connolly as their father, Il Duce (or Poppa M) have returned for the sequel, but we also get some new faces in the mix as well. Clifton Collins Jr., a »

Director Troy Duffy does it again. Why?

Having been unable to sit through the 1999 "Boondock Saints" in its wretched entirety, I've been surprised to watch it become a massive "cult hit" on DVD. Blockbuster-stoked fan enthusiasm has propelled it into the top 20 of all catalog titles currently on sale, and to number 12 in Blu-ray unit sales. So shut my mouth.
Now comes director Troy Duffy's flatulent sequel, "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day." Ten years in the contemplation! It doesn't feel quite that long to sit through in its wretched entirety (which I did this time), but I still can't imagine any but the most easily entertained being willing to do so.
The new movie opens where the last one left off, more or less. Twin brothers »
Troy Duffy Still Packs a Punch
29 October 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
There are really two reasons why you'd recognize the name of writer/director Troy Duffy. One, you're a member of the energized fan base who can recite every line of his 1999 debut, "The Boondock Saints." A John Woo-styled crime thriller that first trickled out in a perfunctory release, Duffy's blood-soaked tale of Irish Catholic twins who go vigilante on some Boston mobsters slowly grew into a monstrous cult hit on home video. But if you haven't seen it, the only other way you'd know Duffy is from the 2003 doc "Overnight," a behind-the-scenes chronicle of the "Boondock" production, in which the novice filmmaker is depicted as an arrogant jerk who shoots his mouth off, alienating his golden-boy relationship with the Weinstein brothers, who pulled out of financing the movie before shooting started.
Finally getting the multiplex treatment, Duffy returns with "The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day." Norman Reedus, Sean Patrick Flanery »
