Clarice, Based on The Silence of the Lambs, in Development at Lifetime
18 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Not to be outdone by NBC's "Hannibal", which is heading our way at mid-season, Lifetime is putting a feminine spin on things by developing "Clarice", based on the Clarice Starling character that earned The Silence of the Lambs star Jodie Foster an Academy Award for best actress.
Per TV Guide, "Clarice" will follow the exploits of a young Starling soon after she graduates from the FBI academy. MGM is producing the series, which Lifetime boss Nancy Dubuc first hinted may be in the works during the network's recent Upfront presentation.
As originally envisioned in author Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter series of books, Clarice grew up in West Virginia until she was 10, when her father, a police officer, was shot and killed. She moves to her uncle's farm in Montana but later runs away and winds up in an orphanage. After college she applies to the FBI academy.

News Briefs: Lifetime (Yes Lifetime) Is Developing a Silence of the Lambs Prequel
18 hours ago | TV.com | See recent TV.com news »
Business Time
... If you could choose one network to make a Silence of the Lambs show, it'd be Lifetime, right? The cable channel is in the early stages of developing Clarice, a drama following the Silence of the Lambs character Clarice starling that Jodie Foster played in the movie. The show would pick up on Clarice's life as a young FBI agent fresh out of the academy. And probably an abusive boyfriend who just didn't treat her right because she was forced into prostitution at a high-end gentleman's club! NBC is also developing Hannibal,... More >> »

Chazz Palminteri Goes to Bed Hungry
By Alex Simon
Chazz Palminteri’s life is one of those classic show biz stories that, dare we say it, is the stuff from which movies are made. Born and raised in the Bronx, Palminteri toiled for years as a struggling stage, film and television actor before finally being plucked from obscurity by Robert De Niro, who saw his off-Broadway autobiographical play A Bronx Tale, a one-man show in which Palminteri played a host of colorful characters he grew up and around in his Bronx neighborhood during the 1950s and ‘60s, where his life was shaped by two mentors: his straight-laced working class father and a local mobster named Sonny.
The movie version of A Bronx Tale was a hit with audiences and critics alike upon its premiere in 1993 and Palminteri hasn’t stopped working since. His latest turn, in Debbie Goodstein’s autobiographical film Mighty Fine, »

4 Movies That Could Benefit From The 'G.I. Joe' Release Change
24 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" will have to wait another nine months to seek retribution. This week, in a shocking move, Paramount bumped the summer blockbuster off its June 29 release date and moved it to March 29, 2013.
Per studio insiders, the change was done to give director Jon Chu time to convert "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" into 3D, a decision that could pay off if it drives overseas ticket buyers to cinemas next year. (3D, while an increasingly frowned-upon fad in the U.S., is still big abroad.) According to star Dwayne Johnson, new scenes are being "designed" to "enhance" the 3D. It's a whole new "G.I. Joe" world -- one that could affect the fate of many other movies.
Ahead, four films that could reap the benefits of "G.I. Joe 2" moving to 2013.
"Ted" should make more money
About five hours after "Joe" was moved, Universal dropped Seth MacFarlane's R-rated comedy »

Off Screen: Jill Tarter, the Inspiration for Jodie Foster's Character in 'Contact,' Has Retired From Seti
24 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Off Screen, our corner that keeps track of big-screen characters and properties in other media, be they comics, books, TV shows or video games. Jill Tarter may not be a known name in many households, but her life-long pursuits have had a big influence on a number of the sci-fi films sitting on your DVD shelf, the most immediate being Robert Zemeckis' Contact. Fellow astronomer Carl Sagan wrote the character of Eleanor Anne Arroway based on Tarter, and Contact star Jodie Foster had extensive meetings with the scientist in order to understand what drives her to dedicate her life to Seti, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, prior to filming. Sadly that pursuit is becoming harder and harder as Seti, which is not only central to the plot of Contact but is name checked...

Review: Lovely Molly
22 May 2012 8:17 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Gretchen Lodge, Johnny Lewis, Alexandra Holden | Written by Eduardo Sanchez, Jamie Nash | Directed by Eduardo Sanchez
Known predominantly for the massive hit that was The Blair Witch Project (one of the highest-grossing independent films of all time no less), Eduardo Sanchez returns with what is his fourth directorial effort since that films groundbreaking debut and his best movie yet. Now I’ll admit I wasn’t a huge fan of Blair Witch, I enjoyed it for what it was but the obnoxious cast always put me off, however Sanchez’s 2006 directorial follow-up Altered was a stroke of genius that undeservedly shoved out as a direct to DVD release. But now he’s back, surpassing all expectations with Lovely Molly.
The film starts off innocently enough, with the titular Molly (Lodge) and her newlywed husband Tim (Lewis) moving into the old family homestead to start their married life together. »

Film Review: Despite Rihanna, Peter Berg’s ‘Battleship’ Lands as One of the Best Popcorn Flicks Ever
17 May 2012 11:01 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “Battleship” certainly could simplistically be reduced to a 131-minute propaganda piece of why you might want to enlist in the U.S. Navy – that is, if Earth had to ward off lizard-like creatures from a deep-space solar system we can only reach by slingshotting a highly amplified “What’s up, aliens?” broadcast to them.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
And “Battleship,” which is rock-concert loud and lacks in strategically placed comedy, definitely will regret going down in history as being the first to offer the already rich, famous and slutty singer Rihanna a wasted, feature-film launching pad when she – like many other musicians before her (read: Britney, Mariah, etc.) – should simply stick to singing and (pole) dancing.
Thanks to “Battleship,” Rihanna has already been cast in 2013’s “The End of the World” with Seth Rogen and may even appear in 2013’s “The Fast and the Furious 6”. (We seriously need as many “Fast and Furious »

Blu-ray Review: Criterion Unleashes Young Fury of ‘La Haine’
16 May 2012 1:34 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – With Nato protests about to descend on Chicago, “La Haine” seems to have as much power as it did on its release almost twenty years ago. It is a visceral, draining experience about class struggles, increased diversity in Paris, economic inequality, and unchanneled rage. In other words, it’s a perfect choice for a Criterion Blu-ray upgrade as the Occupy Movement prepares to descend on the Windy City.
Rating: 4.5/5.0
The gorgeously restored high-definition transfer on the Bd of “La Haine” may not seem like it’s that big a deal for a low-budget, black & white film but it adds to the prescience of the piece, making it feel more current than ever. Vincent Cassel proves he had some of the most striking screen charisma right from the very beginning of his career and director Mathieu Kassovitz offers up one of the most striking examinations of what is bubbling just »

Criterion Collection: La Haine | Blu-ray Review
16 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
In 1995, Mathieu Kassovitz’s exceptional debut, La Haine, was a shocking realization of the unjust ghettoizing of immigrants taking place in France, and the violent abuse of power by police forces, but its surprising how relevant the subject remains today, even outside of French borders. Not only does it still carry cultural significance, but the film continues to awe with its striking black and white long takes, and bold encapsulation of what living in the public housing projects is like for people growing up in them. The film places us in the bombed out cities where people burned their own businesses in protest, and graffiti covered neighborhood playgrounds where teens stagnantly talk about nothing all day long. By getting to know the area, and its residents, Kassovitz was able to make an important film, with both political and technical merits that stand side by side with outstanding performances by Vincent Cassel, »

He's a feted Hollywood director, whose career started with a bunch of children in Seven Up! And he is still charting their lives 49 years later in a landmark of documentary broadcasting
They understand longevity at Manchester's ITV Granada, which was Granada Television and is the only survivor of the original four independent TV franchisees awarded in 1954. Not only does it make Coronation Street, the world's longest-running television soap opera, but this week sees the return of its Up series, which may be the world's longest-running documentary.
The first Up programme was the brainchild of Tim Hewat, the brilliant Australian producer behind the World In Action strand.

The 9 Baddest Muthas In Movies
11 May 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
If there's one rule governing the animal kingdom, it's this: You do not mess with Mom. Ever. If you come between a mama and her cub, you will lose. They're the most terrifying force in the animal kingdom, and they'll do anything to protect their babies.
Of course, you don't need science to tell you that. You know Mom can always be counted on to swoop in like a cookie-baking Batman, knock out a bully, and take you home for story time. (That reminds us, have you bought her a present yet?)
Movies may not get a lot right (physics, romance, book adaptations), but for the most part, they do right by moms. Especially tough moms. Cinema is packed with gun-toting, take-no-prisoners, willing-to-die mothers, and they're all so inspiring that we hated cutting it off at 9. But we did, and here are the Baddest Muthas in Movies.
