A Serious Man and the odd movie out
9 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A Serious Man may be getting rave reviews – but it's like nothing the Coens have made before. Joe Queenan on weird one-offs and the directors who make them
About halfway through the very funny, very disturbing, very ethnic new film A Serious Man, the modern-day Job who is the serious man in question climbs up on to the roof of his ghastly 1960s Minneapolis suburban home and tries to adjust the antenna to improve his TV reception. Beleaguered on all fronts – conjugally, professionally, medically – Larry Gopnik, a dorky physics professor who may be about to lose his job and is very likely to lose his family, is a bright, principled Jewish man whose children have begged him to fix the antenna so they can watch F Troop, an idiotic 1960s comedy. Many of Larry's travails unfold as songs from Jefferson Airplane's seminal 1967 LP Surrealistic Pillow play in the background. »

A Single Man Gets Degayified Posters
24 November 2009 1:43 AM, PST | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »
Colin Firth, Julianne Moore in A Single Man, directed by Tom Ford What’s a "gay movie"? Brokeback Mountain? Midnight Cowboy? What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Milk? Top Gun? Lukas Licks Lodz? Something directed by a gay man, say, The Philadelphia Story or Midnight or a couple of the biggest action blockbusters made in the last decade or so? Something written for the screen by a gay man, say, A Streetcar Named Desire or The Innocents? Something based on a book or play or short story or poem written by a gay man, say, Brief Encounter or In Cold Blood? Something starring a gay man, say, the 1925 Ben-Hur or Giant? If you think about it, the label "gay movie" is pretty meaningless. [...] »

6 Actors That Should Probably Not Watch Their Own Movies
23 November 2009 7:16 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
When I interviewed Bill Nighy last year, three things seemed to stand out about the man. One, he shakes hands with only the front part of three fingers like I have to imagine witches do. Two, he had a greater sense of humor about himself than anyone else I've ever met. Three, he was insanely, effortlessly cool. He continues to exude both coolness and the self-effacing grace that makes him such a charismatic personality (aside from the willingness to star in serious work and movies about werewolves fighting vampires) by claiming that he can't stand the experience of watching movies that he's in. He, like most actors who have thrown out that claim in the past, seems completely put off by seeing himself on screen. Hardly an original claim, but one that rings true for anyone who has ever seen a bad photo of themselves (be they regional theater actors or international film stars). So I decided »

Q: I'm curious about Project Runway's Christopher Straub. The ring he wears suggests he has a husband / partner / significant other. What details might you know on this? Every time Heidi had him in tears, I found myself strongly torn between wanting to give him a hug and going all Cher on him. – LgH, Houston, TX, Usw, Earth
A: “I am married!” Straub tells the Flying Monkey. “Well, not legally, but Ronnie and I had a commitment ceremony two-and-a-half years ago. We've been together for over five years. He's a little scientist, and we really don't understand what each other does for a living.”
I asked what the two of them do for fun. “We like to travel, watch TV – I like reality shows and he »

Harvey Keitel Joins Robert De Niro in Little Fockers
13 November 2009 1:14 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Are there no good dramatic roles left in Hollywood? Harvey Keitel has signed on to star in Little Fockers opposite Robert De Niro, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Remember the '70s, when Keitel and DeNiro were starring in edgy, challenging movies like Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver? Now, both seem to be confined to less-than-original comedies. Thankfully, at least DeNiro has a role in Robert Rodriguez's upcoming Machete.
And how about Dustin Hoffman? Is a possible appearance in Little Fockers the best he can expect? We recently overheard the tour-guide of a museum refer to Hoffman as "the guy from Meet the Fockers." Our thoughts: Anyone who knows Hoffman only from that movie should immediately be sent home with copies of The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, and Little Big Man.

The gutting of Miramax, Pt. II: Is this the end of New York movie culture?
2 November 2009 3:58 PM, PST | EW.com - The Movie Critics | See recent EW.com - The Movie Critics news »
Last week, it was announced that Miramax Films would close its New York offices, and that its president, Daniel Battsek, was being asked to step down. If that sounds like an unhappy day for the world of independent film -- well, it is. Yet as far as Miramax is concerned, it's really just one more nail in a coffin that was already slamming shut. In case you missed the news, here's the post I wrote back on Oct. 11 about the gutting of Miramax that took place last month, and what it could portend, in general, for studio specialty divisions.

Tony Todd Talks Splatter
Conducted by Phil Fasso and Mike Cucinotta on October 26, 2009
So we're sitting here in The Frightquarters waiting for Tony Todd to report in. We interviewing him via telephone so no need to repeat his name five times. We tried it, it didn't work. (Ok, ok... we only got to 4 and turned the lights on.)
A funny thing pops up on our telescreen: An old doc on 'Bride of Frankestein', hosted by Joe Dante, starring Clive Barker and featuring Bill Condon, all of whom have worked with Todd. Barker and Condon having been involved in 'Candyman' and 'Candyman: Farewell To The Flesh', and Dante having recently directed him in 'Splatter', a new 3 episode web series, produced by Roger Corman and debuting exclusively for free on Netflix on October 29th.
Tony Todd chatting with us about this upcoming free web series, as well a few new and upcoming projects, »
The Death of Hollywood?
23 October 2009 2:29 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
“Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams.” – John Huston The sagacious Huston may have been right, once, but if recent reports are to be believed, and there is no reason to doubt them, the finances of the major Hollywood studios are in freefall. Battered by both the rise of digital, and thus the manner in which people are choosing to consume entertainment, and a quickening drought in funding, production is predicted to fall by more a third over the coming year. In response to the broader global economic meltdown banks have withdrawn much of their investment in the West Coast industry ($12bn from a total of $18bn has been made unavailable) and the ascent of Internet piracy, and even the legitimate but far less profitable download and video-on-demand sectors, is ripping the DVD market asunder. Foreign language films, too, are chipping away at the assumed »

Son Of The Sunshine: Ryan Ward's Directorial Debut rocks!

Stone And Evans Can Get Satisfaction
6 October 2009 1:44 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Sharon Stone and Chris Evans have signed on to star in Satisfaction, a drama about a male prostitute and the older lady who looks after him. How do we know this? Because Stone herself blabbed about it to Prestige magazine (sadly, not an offshoot of Dale Doback and Brennan Huff’s Prestige Worldwide).Evans will play a gigolo who becomes involved with an older lady, all while going through a traumatic relationship with his agency. Stone, we’re guessing, will play the older lady.“You think they have legitimately fallen in love, by his behaviour and her behaviour,” Stone told Prestige, “until the call-out service starts sending him out again while he's with her. He starts trying to break her down. And it's incredible what they do together: a very, very fascinating journey."So, is it an opposite-sex Midnight Cowboy for the Noughties? A riff on The Graduate? A new spin on American Gigolo? »
Bye Bye Birdie! Hello, Lada!

. With Paul Lynde on the set of Bye Bye Birdie Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 If you came of age during the Sixties, you may well remember the name Lada Edmund, Jr. who was one of the original gyrating, mini-skirted go-go girls who danced in a cage on NBC-tv’s music program, Hullabaloo 1965-66. Similar to ABC’s Shindig, Hullabaloo featured a different celebrity host each week to introduce some of the most popular musical performers of the day. However, the show received most of its press not for the rock groups or vocalists that guest starred but for Lada and fellow dancers who bumped, grinded and twisted their way into the homes of teenagers every week. So popular was she that she landed on the cover of TV Guide magazine.
Before she found TV fame, Lada began her career dancing on Broadway. She was one of »

What Recession? Designers Storm the Waldorf for Gala
18 September 2009 1:30 PM, PDT | Fast Company | See recent Fast Company news »
Despite the eco-friendly cardboard centerpieces, the ballroom at the Waldorf Astoria, with its velvet draperies and glittering chandeliers was an uncomfortably swanky venue for the annual Aiga Design Legends gala in a year when the ripples from the financial mayhem on Wall St. had wreaked such economic turmoil throughout the industry
So Aiga president Debbie Millman, in a little black dress and long white gloves, addressed the issue straight up: "The guy who created my fabulous up-do asked me, 'Do people really have events like these anymore? In this economy?'"
Noting that the room had been booked long before last fall's market meltdown, Millman acknowledged the unease the space created, given the general state of the economy. "Not to be a buzzkill," she said, "but 86% of industries said they had cut back over the past year, the most in 42 years. Every state has reported upticks in unemployment." So, she asked, »

[DVD Review] Homeboy
3 September 2009 6:00 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Let me just start off by saying that I fucking love Mickey Rourke. I love the goddamned shit out of him. I don't care how many unnecessary facelifts he gets or how many homophobic slurs he casually throws around while drunk off his ass; in my eyes the man can do no wrong. It's only fitting that I should warn you of this unflinching devotion of mine prior to getting into the review portion of this ode to Rourke, lest you think that I actually aim to be objective. But there is a reason for my fanatic blubbering, as Homeboy is largely just a shameless vehicle for the man in question to display his unabashedly cocky yet undeniably enigmatic persona.
To get pretentious for just a minute: Rourke was practically made for the role of the Byronic anti-hero. His steadfast stoicism heightens the emotional implications of the pained soul that undoubtedly lurks beneath the surface, »

Culture Warrior: Independent Music/Independent Film
31 August 2009 3:26 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The relationship between pop music and popular film has been a fruitful one. When popular tracks started to accompany the soundtrack of mainstream films regularly in the mid-late 1960s, the music was often used in the context of the film to reflect the aural preferences particular to a specific counterculture. Movies like The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider and A Hard Day’s Night integrated top 40 hits or artists into their film not only to help sell the film to a broad or specific audience (which proved especially effective when marketing to young people), but to tie that film’s narrative and themes to the counterculture that such music allegedly speaks for. Songs featured in The Graduate and Midnight Cowboy were written specifically for their films, but by artists already associated with these social and aural movements (Simon and Garfunkel and Harry Nilsson, respectively). The existence of Top 40 radio made it rather easy to identify which songs »

Item #1 - How Bruce Lee Changed The World
For those of us who love Bruce Lee’s influence on modern Asian cinema you’ve probably seen many incarnations of program in some form or another. Like an 80’s DJ who is ultimately limited by the fact that there is a finite number of tracks they can play, there seems to have been so much overlap with footage we’ve seen with regard to the man who was wickedly charismatic and destined for far more than we were given.
Thankfully, as I watched How Bruce Lee Changed The World, »
