Cannes 2013: 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' is a seriously sexy French lesbian coming-of-age love story. Plus, Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix in 'The Immigrant'
16 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
There’s a first time for everything. At a Cannes showing of Blue Is the Warmest Color, a three-hour French drama about a young woman who falls into a romance that digs its hooks in and won’t let go of her, the audience sat raptly as Adèle (Adèle Exarchopoulos), a quietly precocious 17-year-old Paris high school girl, goes to bed with Emma (Léa Seydoux), the painter and Fine Arts graduate student she met at a lesbian bar. It’s Adèle’s first experience with another woman — but ever since the late ’70s, there have been plenty of lesbian-awakening dramas, »

It was little scary to wear Liz Taylor's necklace, says Jessica Chastain
22 hours ago | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Washington, May 25: Jessica Chastain has revealed that she was so nervous about wearing Elizabeth Taylor's sapphire-and-diamond necklace at the Cannes Film Festival's Cleopatra screening, that she didn't even ask its value.
The 36-year-old actress told People magazine that it was very thrilling to wear it, but she was overwhelmed too.
Chastain, who was the first person to wear the neckpiece since Elizabeth, said that she felt as if she was able to spend the day with her today by wearing it.
The 'Help' star first paired the necklace with a simple white Versace Collection dress on the red carpet, but by the time of. »

Liz Taylor's first wedding dress up for auction
24 May 2013 11:45 PM, PDT | RealBollywood.com | See recent RealBollywood news »
Washington, May 25: The wedding gown Dame Elizabeth Taylor wore when she married her first husband Conrad Hilton, Jr., is all set to go under the hammer on 23 June 2013.
The 'Cleopatra' star, who was only 18 when she tied the knot with the hotel heir on 6 May, 1950, wore an oyster shell-colored, floor-length satin dress.
The special piece is to be auctioned off by Christie's in London, where it is expected to fetch more than 75,300 dollars, Contactmusic reported.
The frock was designed Grace Kelly's wedding dress creator- Helen Rose and it has an incredibly thin 22-inch waist.

Cannes 2013: Alexander Payne's 'Nebraska' is very minor Payne (but still a pleasure). Plus, my Palme d'Or prediction
23 May 2013 10:10 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Alexander Payne has become one of those figures who isn’t just a film director — he’s a genre. As much as I love Election, his 1999 breakthrough film, the Payne movie that really kicked off the Payne format was About Schmidt (2002). The leisurely, semi-planted version of the road-trip structure; the classically framed images of a falling-down American middle class that Hollywood is no longer in touch with and no longer knows how to show us; the earnest, damaged heroes with their family ties and family demons; the arcs that are built not out of screenwriting-class “story points” but, rather, out »

5 Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton Movies To Watch
22 May 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With Cannes screening Cleopatra (marking its 50th anniversary) two nights ago and yesterday’s re-release screenings at 75 theaters countrywide, we’re feeling the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton love. The twice-divorced, Vatican-condemned couple continues to capture the public’s imagination and interest. In the past three years, we’ve seen Sam Kashner’s Furious Love and Richard Burton’s diaries become bestsellers, Liz & Dick being the most notable thing in Lifetime’s line-up, and John le Carré writing in The New Yorker just last month about working with Burton on The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and those are just a few things that spring to mind. Although their film collaborations have gotten a bit of a bum-rap over the years (somewhat deservedly), here are five Taylor-Burton films that we think are worth watching, out of the eleven that they made together.

Jessica Chastain Is Pretty In Purple At Cannes Film Festival
22 May 2013 2:12 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
The star looked like a mermaid in her stunning Givenchy gown in Cannes! Is this her best look ever?
Jessica Chastainwas a vision in her gorgeous purple beaded Givenchy gown at the All Is Lost premiere held at the Palais des Festivals in France at the Cannes Film Festival. The 36-year-old was radiant on the red carpet!
Jessica Chastain’s Cannes Film Festival Dress:
The Zero Dark Thirty star looked drop dead gorgeous in her purple Givenchy gown. This was her second time wearing Givenchy in Cannes. The gown had a very low scoop neck, thin beaded streps and beading all over the chest. Silk fabric cinched in her waist, leading to the rest of the dress which was covered in beading and sequins. She tied her beautiful red locks into a loose pony; looking effortless! Jessica’s fair skin and bright red hair make this magnificent gown shine on the red carpet. »

Cannes 2013: With hardly a line of dialogue, Robert Redford is marvelous as a man lost at sea. Plus, Liz Taylor's bling
22 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
All Is Lost is a man-stranded-at-sea movie, starring Robert Redford, in a role that has almost no dialogue, as a fellow who wakes up in his small yacht, somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, only to discover that a random floating railway car — who knows how it got there? — has gashed a hole in the boat’s hull. It’s like his own miniature iceberg scrape: All of a sudden, his boat could go down, and him with it. Most movies that strand a solitary figure at sea, like Life of Pi, or on a desert island, like »

Cannes 2013: 'Only God Forgives' re-teams Ryan Gosling with the director of 'Drive.' But this one stalls
22 May 2013 7:40 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Drive, the deliriously bloody and overwrought Ryan Gosling art thriller that premiered two years ago at Cannes, is a movie that I found stylish in its way (it was hard not to, given that the film was nothing but style), but also luridly unconvincing. I didn’t see it, or even hear anything about it, until its opening weekend, and later, as I caught up with the ecstatic reviews and began to talk to people who thought it was some sort of nihilistic pop masterpiece, I realized that the elements of Drive that I had experienced as borderline loopy — like, »

Jodi Arias Pleads with Jury for Life in Prison
21 May 2013 11:45 AM, PDT | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
In a complete reversal, Jodi Arias addressed the jury on Tuesday and urged them to sentence her to life in prison so her family doesn't have to suffer any more. "I've made public statements that preferred the death penalty. I lacked perspective," Arias, dressed in black, said in the Phoenix courtroom. "I can't in good conscience ask you to send me to death because of them," Arias said as she pointed to her parents and her baby sister, Angela, who now has a daughter of her own (Arias says she has only met the child from behind heavy glass).

Cannes 2013: 'Behind the Candelabra' is more than a dark Liberace kitschfest. It's a creepily moving love story
21 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Behind the Candelabra, Steven Soderbergh’s backstage drama about Liberace, the fur-and-sequin-clad, ivory-tickling kitsch maestro of “wonderful” entertainment, and his relationship with Scott Thorson, the dewy hunk who became his romantic partner in the late 1970s, is a movie that I’ve been eager to see for many months. Nevertheless, when it was announced that the film wouldn’t just be playing at Cannes, but that it would be part of the hallowed roster of films shown in competition here, it raised my eyebrows.
Unless I’m mistaken, this is the first time that a movie set to premiere on American television — in this case, »

So Dior Exhibition at Harrods: Movie Star Dresses
20 May 2013 10:36 PM, PDT | Clothes on Film | See recent Clothes on Film news »
Although we didn’t visit the So Dior exhibition at Harrods personally, we were lucky enough to have a photographer swing by and snap some pics for us. Sad to have missed this one as the gowns in particular are exquisite.
So Dior ran from 16th March to 14th April inside definitive department store Harrods. It was billed as a retrospective of Christian Dior’s contribution to fashion and perfumery constructed on three floors with a pop-up shop and cafe. A Dior takeover might be more accurate.
Elegant Princess Margaret personified everything Christian Dior loved about England. Harrods was reputedly his favourite store.
Dior initially trained as an architect before pursuing a career in cutting, working alongside Robert Piquet and Lucien Lelong. An assuming man, he only had ten years to make an impact on the fashion world before dying of a heart attack aged 52. But what an impact. His »

As Restored 'Cleopatra' Hits the Cannes Croisette, Film Critics Look Back at the 'Most Notorious Epic Ever' (Trailer)
20 May 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Cannes Classics previously announced that Joseph L. Manciewicz's four-plus-hour epic "Cleopatra," celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, will screen on the Croisette May 21 in a newly restored print alongside other giant classics such as Bertolucci's "The Last Emperor" in 3-D and "Vertigo." The restoration will expand worldwide the next day, May 22, screening in the Cinemark Classic Film Series among other theater chains. Starring Elizabeth Taylor (the eponymous siren of the Nile) and her swain Richard Burton in full-on Egyptian headdress as Marc Antony, "Cleopatra" is the bloated magnum opus that nearly sunk the Fox studio in 1963 after failing to make back its colossal budget -- which adjusted for inflation totaled over $323 million in 2013 dollars -- and failing to garner much in the way of critical acclaim. Susan King of the La Times highlights the film, discussing the lasting interest in Taylor and Burton, who were having an adulterous affair during the shoot. »

Cannes 2013: 'Blood Ties' is an authentic '70s-set crime movie that gives Clive Owen his best role in years
20 May 2013 9:30 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
When film directors stage a scene from the mid-1970s, we all know how it’s done: They’ll clear everything out of a shot — commercial signage, etc. — that violates the period, and then they’ll plunk down a bunch of 1970s parked cars. Yet what they end up with still doesn’t usually look like the period — it looks prefab — and watching Blood Ties, a rivetingly scuzzy and authentic New York cops-and-crime drama (it’s set in 1974), starring Clive Owen as a hard case who has just gotten out of prison and Billy Crudup as his straight-arrow policeman brother, »

Mindy Newell: Kiss*

Before you read this column today, go watch Spencer Tracy in Father of the Bride or A Guy Named Joe, or Thirty Seconds Over Toyko, or Bad Day At Black Rock, or Adam’s Rib or Judgment At Nuremberg or Inherit The Wind.
Katherine Hepburn said to Spencer Tracy “you were, really, the greatest movie actor. I say this because I believe it and I’ve heard so many people of standing in our business say, it from Olivier to Lee Strasberg, David Lean, you name it. You could do it, and you could do it with that glorious simplicity, that directness.” Elizabeth Taylor said, “His acting seemed almost effortless, it seemed almost as if he wasn’t doing anything, and yet he was doing everything. It came so subtly out of his eyes, every muscle in his face…” Richard Widmark said “”It’s what every actor tries to strive »

Cannes 2013: The Coen brothers' 'Inside Llewyn Davis' is a close-to-the-bone tale of the early-'60s New York folk scene, but it is also (what else?) a perverse Coen stunt
18 May 2013 4:00 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Joel and Ethan Coen have never made a movie that didn’t have at least a few big bubbles of perversity percolating through it. That said, one of the ways that I divide their work in my mind is that there are the Coen brothers films in which the perversity stays, for the most part, just below the surface (Blood Simple, Fargo, A Serious Man), which tend to be the Coen brothers movies that I love best. And there are the ones in which perversity stands up and pokes you in the eye (Barton Fink, The Hudsucker Proxy, O Brother, »

If you had gone to see every single one of the acclaimed movies from Iran that have played in the U.S. since the mid-’90s — the lyrically subdued Abbas Kiarostami films, like Through the Olive Trees and Taste of Cherry, that were hailed at the time as minimalist masterpieces; the feminist political parable The Circle; scrappy fables like The White Balloon, Children of Heaven, and A Time for Drunken Horses; the enchantingly colorful woven rug of a movie Gabbeh — it would be perfectly reasonable for you to come away from that experience thinking that Iran is a land of »
