Barbra Streisand A Surprise Guest At A.M.P.A.S. Tribute To Marilyn And Alan Bergman

The Motion Picture Academy has been on a roll as of late, presenting some of the finest exhibits and screenings in its fabled history. The year began with a tribute to Academy founder Douglas Fairbanks featuring legendary film scholar Kevin Brownlow. In April there was a tribute to Milt Kahl, “The Animation Michelangelo,” that featured Brad Bird and others paying tribute to one of Disney’s premier character designers. Currently, there is an excellent display of cells and sketches highlighting the Japanese form of animation, “Anime!” (The Academy is to be commended for their continued celebration of that frequently neglected art of film-making). And last week, there was tribute to Joseph Mankewiecz, one of the finest screenwriters who »

Spotlight: Dick DeBenedictis Remembers...
21 May 2009 2:40 AM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »
Few composers have such a long past in network television music as Dick DeBenedictis. A native of New Milford, New Jersey, DeBenedictis never saw himself as a film composer right up until his first commission! He was thrown into the deep end so to speak... Over four decades he provided music for classic episodes of Columbo, Matlock, Father Dowling, Diagnosis Murder and tons of other series' which may not be as well known today. This was all written in addition to a rich background in writing for musical theatre, another major forte of the composer. In my interview with Dick DeBenedictis, we revisit all these shows with a special focus on select episodes of Columbo where Dick had to write music for murderous musicians!
How did your fascination with music begin?

Are These the 75 Movies Every Man Must See?
12 May 2009 3:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Summertime seems to be movie list-making time in just about every publication. I imagine it's because once you slap Chris Pine or Christian Bale onto a summer magazine cover, you're stuck waiting for the fall buzz to kick up ... or anxious film writers out there are hoping to remind audiences that they can ease the pain of mindless blockbusters with meat-and-potato classics. Either way, we get a lot of lists.
Esquire has a particularly interesting one up, though. They've compiled a collection of 75 movies they feel every man should see in his lifetime, and go so far as to suggest they've all shaped American manhood in some fashion. Some of the choices are obvious classics: In the Heat of the Night, 12 Angry Men, Chinatown, The Godfather, North by Northwest, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, The French Connection. Some are a little more on the forgotten side, like Fitzcarraldo and Run Silent, »

How Tony Curtis Taught Jewison the Movies
15 April 2009 3:46 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
"All kinds of things stand in your way when you're trying to make a film. I mean, it's you against the world. It's like going to war."
By Norman Jewison (to Eric Estrin)
He's directed and produced some of our most iconic American films -- "The Cincinnati Kid," "In the Heat of the Night" and "And Justice for All," for starters -- but Norman Jewison, 1999 winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science's prestigious Thalberg Award for his producing career, is Canadian through and through. Jewison is being honored this weekend at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art to mark the 20th anniversary of the Canadian Film Centre, which he founded, modeling it loosely after the AFI. He spoke with Eric Estrin about the surpris... »

Jon Voight's Long-Lost Hal Ashby Comedy
10 April 2009 1:07 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
While journalist Nick Dawson was researching his new biography, "Hal Ashby: Life of a Hollywood Rebel," his interviews with Jon Voight (who won an Oscar for Ashby's "Coming Home") revealed that a director's cut of a long-lost Ashby/Voight collaboration still existed under everybody's noses. 1982's "Lookin' to Get Out," which had its world premiere last week at the Sarasota Film Festival as part of an Ashby retrospective tied to Dawson's book, will finally be available to audiences when it hits DVD on June 30th. Voight and Burt Young co-star as Alex and Jerry, a couple of small-time New York gamblers -- lovable losers, both -- who escape to Vegas when their debts come knocking at their door. Pretending to be a casino owner's close friends while he's out of town, the two foolishly exploit their free comps to try to win back their losses, much to the chagrin of the returning tycoon, »

How Many Best Picture Winners Have You Seen?
26 February 2009 5:09 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Empire Online has recently put up a feature which showcases all the Best Picture winners at the Oscars since the awards started back in 1928. It’s a good read although a very long one since they felt the need to give each movie its own full page which means plenty of clicking of the “next” button.
So to save time and energy Screen Rant provides you with the much shortened version of the list, which makes it much easier to skim over and take in (thanks to www.tif.ro for the original short list, although we’ve shortened it even more).
My question for you, the welcomed and much loved Screen Rant reader, is how many of the Best Picture winners have you seen? This is all just a bit of fun but if you feel in the mood for a little list-motivated film discussion then tally up those »

[DVD Review] Sidney Poitier Collection
2 February 2009 9:30 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Some might initially be disappointed by the lineup of the Sidney Poitier Collection. Most of Poitier's landmark films were released by United Artists or Columbia Pictures (In the Heat of the Night, A Raisin in the Sun, Lilies in the Field, The Defiant Ones, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, To Sir, With Love, etc.). And since this is a Warner Bros. package, one could feel inclined to pass it up and hope for a different set to be released in the future. But while two of the films included in this collection lack greatness, the other two belong in the library of any avid film lover, whether you like Poitier or not (but who doesn't?). And since all of these films were difficult (if not impossible) to find on DVD before now, it's worth the purchase. Reviews of the four films follow:

Top Ten Most Bewildering Oscar Best Picture Nominees
28 January 2009 12:23 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Top 10 Most Bewildering Academy Award Best Picture Nominees Scratching your noggin over the Oscar love for The Reader? How did those dastardly has-been Weinstein brothers budge The Dark Knight(if you're a whiny fanboy) or The Wrestler(if you're a whiny film snob) out of a deserving Best Picture nomination with a movie no one seems to care for? Well it's not the first time the Weinsteins have pulled off such a feat. Yet, nor are they the only Hollywood salesmen to ram a film into the Oscar race. It's hard to imagine Oscar without some sort of surprise. Sometimes it's for the better sometimes it is just plain astonishing and almost seems to be done simply to say, "Hey, we're the Academy, we do what we want." Every year they sprinkle their categories with nominations that leave a lot of folks wondering just how the hell that happened and »

Faintheart (Best Pictures From the Outside In #13)
20 January 2009 11:24 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Since we've got a whole slew of new readers (thanks for joining us!) a little explanation. This is the 13th episode of the series "Best Pictures From the Outside In" in which Mike (GoatDog's Movies), Nathaniel (The Film Experience) and Nick (Nick's Flick Picks) compare Best Picture winners from either end of Oscar's timeline. We started by pitting the first (Wings, 1927) and the last (No Country For Old Men, 2007) against each other. In each subsequent episode we move one step forward in time and one step backward. We might throw in an extra episode pitting this year's winner (will it be The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or Slumdog Millionaire?) against... something. Eventually the series will end in the middle in the 1960s arguing about the comparative merits of In the Heat of the Night (1967) and Oliver! (1968). By the time that episode rolls around maybe nobody will be asking for »
