DVD Playhouse—November 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

Billy Elliot Dances To Tony Awards Glory

8 June 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Billy Elliot The Musical stole the show at the 2009 Tony Awards on Sunday (7Jun09) night, winning an astonishing 10 prizes.

The show scooped the prestigious Best Musical award and there were statuettes for writer Lee Hall, director Stephen Daldry and its three young stars David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik, and Kiril Kulish.

Elsewhere, acting legend Angela Lansbury made Broadway history by winning her record-equalling fifth Tony.

Lansbury was awarded the Best Featured Actress in a Play prize for her role in Blithe Spirit, bringing her level with five-time Tony winner Julie Harris.

After accepting her award, the 83-year-old star said, "I had no plan to tie Julie Harris' record of five Tony Awards; she is the greatest actress of our time. As for my sixth, don't bet on it - but there are some roles I could still play on Broadway. I would do Off-Broadway, as long as I can keep acting - it's the only thing I know how I do."

There was also an acting award for Marcia Gay Harden for her performance in God of Carnage, which was named Best Play.

Liza Minnelli's production Liza's at The Palace won Best Special Theatrical Event.

Celebrity guests at the bash at Manhattan's Radio City Musical Hall, including Sir Elton John, Jane Fonda and Kevin Spacey, were treated to musical performances of shows currently gracing New York's theatre district.

And there were tributes to Broadway stars who have died in the past year, including Paul Newman, Natasha Richardson, Bea Arthur, Eartha Kitt and theatre impresario Gerald Schoenfeld. »

An Original Feature: 8 Remakes That Should Never Have Happened – Part 1

29 March 2009 5:46 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Despite popular opinion, remakes are not a new phenomenon, they’ve been around pretty much as long as cinema, and have given us some of the finest movies in cinematic history.

Unfortunately, they’ve also given us some real steaming piles of turd, particularly in recent years. Take a look at my own list of the “8 Remakes That Should Never Have Happened” and see for yourselves:

#1 – Death Race 2000 (1975)/Death Race (2008)

The Original: A cult 1975 action film based on the short story “The Rider” by Ib Melchior, the film starred David Carradine, Simone Griffeth and Sylvester Stallone and was directed by Paul Bartel. The film told the story of a fascist America, that keeps the people satisfied through a stream of gory gladiatorial entertainment, which includes the bloody spectacle the Transcontinental Road Race, depicted as a symbol of American values and way of life.

Can Angela Lansbury tie Tony record with a fifth win for 'Blithe Spirit'?

17 March 2009 2:31 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Angela Lansbury has returned to her first love — the theater — in triumph, earning rave reviews for her appearance as a larger-than-life medium in the revival of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit." Angela Lansbury has already won four Tony Awards for lead actress in a musical — "Mame" (1966), "Dear World" (1969), "Gypsy" (1975) and "Sweeney Todd" (1979). Two years ago, she contended for the first time as lead actress in a play for "Deuce" but was bested by Julie White for "The Little Dog Laughed." Were she to win for this new role in the old chestnut "Blithe Spirit,"  Lansbury would be tied with Julie Harris who has five Tony Awards, all for lead actress in a play.

The original 1941 run of "Blithe Spirit" predated the Tony Awards by six years. However for the 1987 revival, Geraldine Page contended as lead actress for playing Madame Arcati. She lost to Linda Lavin in Neil Simon's "Broadway Bound. »

16 January 2009 1:26 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

This week we have the second installment of the weekly Production Update as I bring you all the latest films and casting announcements out of the trade papers as well as a couple of websites around the Net. I am previewing 22 film titles this week and a few of them are already in the database and linked where that is the case. One story, however, I am held from posting until today comes from Variety in which Anne Thompson does a little Twilight franchise rumor passing as she gives the following update on the potential directors for the third film in the franchise, Eclipse: Don't believe everything you hear about Twilight and its sequels. Things are heating up already on the third installment, Eclipse. They haven't even started the second one yet, New Moon. When you've got a robust franchise, filmmakers are eager to get on board. Word is, »
