Pool Party. The Sag Harbor event celebrating Audemars Piguet’s new timepiece. From PatrickMcMullan.com. While the July Fourth weekend may have been a washout, the Hamptons picked itself back up this weekend as the girls of Manhattan jumped on the Jitney to take advantage of some of the few clear days we’ve had this summer. While the likes of socialite Harley Viera Newton and designer Charlotte Ronson enjoyed the sun, heiress Amanda Hearst hosted a small party at the East Hampton Intermix store, where Harvey Keitel’s daughter Stella Keitel was spotted. The fun didn’t end at sunset. Per usual, the Hamptons faithful washed off the sand and changed out of their Malia Mills one-pieces to head out for the night. On Friday evening the Parrish Art Museum held their Midsummer Party in Southampton. Guests such as New York governor David Paterson, painter (and Hamptons mainstay) Ross Bleckner,

While much of the rest of the focus at the Bet Awards on Sunday were on Michael Jackson, his legacy, his family and all the artists who cared to honor him, Jay-z made a little headway on his own. Directly after the ceremony, at which Hov made a performance, the music network premiered the video for "D.O.A.," the first single from Jay-z forthcoming "Blueprint 3" (Roc Nation/Atlantic). The video itself isn't anything mind-boggling, but does a nice spin on the concept of "gangster." Jay-z is seen playing ball with LeBron James, talking trash at a game of poker with Harvey Keitel...

From the looks of things, Jay-z's The Blueprint 3 LP is apparently finished. Jay performed his single "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" on Sunday night's Bet Awards — giving a shout-out to "the king," Michael Jackson, at the song's close — and after the show, the video for the record debuted. And when Jay popped up onstage, he was sporting a new close-cut haircut.
Anyone who's been following Jigga knows he's been wearing his hair longer than ever for the past year and change. He called his do the "Blueprint 'Fro" and explained recently on Angie Martinez's Hot 97 radio program that during the recording of his albums, he usually lets his hair grow. Well, Jay also usually knocks albums out in less than a month.

Farrah Fawcett, 1970s pin-up girl and star of the massively successful Charlie's Angels TV series, has succumbed to cancer, aged 62.Her career began in television with appearances in series like Swat and The Six Million Dollar Man, but she was initially most famous for her marriage to Lee Majors, until her Angels role as Jill Munroe made her a primetime household name. She only stayed for one season (replaced subsequently by Cheryl Ladd as her younger sister), and earned more from poster royalties than from the actual show, but it was long enough to make her an icon of sorts. The Farrah hairstyle was the Rachel of its day.Her film career never quite reached great heights: there were appearances in Logan's Run (1976) and The Cannonball Run (1981), as well as the truly oddball Saturn 3 (1980), which co-starred Kirk Douglas and a dubbed Harvey Keitel, with a script by Martin Amis.

Sure, we all know about Satan. Ruler of hell, punisher of sinners, pitchforks, fire, and general all around big meanie. But Satan seems to have a soft spot when it comes to making babies. He is always trying to populate the world with little snot nosed brats of pure evil. As Fangoria salutes Father’s Day and horror film fathers, we give a nod to the most evil dad of them all.
Skip the love, forget the marriage, here comes Satan with a baby carriage…

Al Pacino (Satan) takes Keanu Reeves under his wing at a demonic law firm. Oh, big shock, the devil is a lawyer, and in a Star Wars-like twist he also turns out to Reeves’s daddy. Al Pacino: I’m your father and the devil. Who-hah! Keanu Reeves: You’re my father and the devil? Whoa!

He’s been called everything from the Maestro of the Macabre and the Master of Italian Horror to the “Garlic Flavored Hitchcock”, but true horror fans know him as simply Argento. Last weekend at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors, Manhattan’s Jacob K. Javitz Convention Center was abuzz over the mere notion of his pending presence, even overshadowing the likes of horror visionaries Tobe Hooper and Guillermo Del Toro.
Dario Argento took the stage at 1:30pm on Sunday June 7th, accompanied by a translator and the woman who literally wrote the book on the Italian filmmaker, author of Broken Mirrors/Broken Minds: The Dark Dreams Of Dario Argento and Film Critic Maitlan McDonagh. McDonagh led the director through a slightly disappointing interview/Q&A that merely managed scratch the surface of the artist’s genius. The lack of depth and substance seemed to be mostly due to McDonagh’s

When the trailer for Werner Herzog's upcoming Nicolas Cage vehicle, "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," showed up on YouTube last Thursday, movie buffs were baffled.
Ostensibly a remake of Abel Ferrara's harrowing 1992 cop drama with Harvey Keitel in the lead role, the new version appears to spin the source material into the unlikely mold of a black comedy.
Cage, as a southern officer with a penchant for crack and promiscuity, widens his eyes and wearily drifts from one mystifying scene to another. Seeking the witness of a crime, h...

Director Sam Raimi makes his long awaited and apparently triumphant return to the horror genre this weekend. “Drag Me to Hell,” starring Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver and David Paymer, follows loan officer Christine Brown (Lohman) who ends up cursed after she turns down a mortgage extension for the wrong person. Her sanity crumbles as the world around her turns into a sort of living hell.
Now Raimi is far from the first filmmaker to look to the netherworld for inspiration. In the course of building this list, I found that there are surprisingly few horror movies that deal directly with Hell as a location, at least in comparison to other genres. That said, film in general is littered with references, reinterpretations and outright visitations to the realm of the damned. Heck (ha!), as the list below shows, even musicals aren’t safe from Satan’s touch.

Nobody seems to know if this trailer is “official” or not or even if its supposed to be released online. Until the men in dark suits and earpieces break down the door of The Flickcast offices, we’re gonna bring you this trailer featuring Nicholas Cage in Werner Hertzog’s remake/sequel to Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant known as Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans.
The original film featured Harvey Keitel in what can only be described a an “interesting” performance. And while I’m still not sure if this new film will be able to match the insanity of Ferrara’s original, it sure seems like its going to try in a whirlwind of guns, cocaine and women. This time around, Cage’s “Bad Lieutenant” character is not so concerned with the raping of nuns while in a church but instead, he’s tasked with trying to

So we're all sufficiently weirded out by Nic Cage as the new Bad Lieutenant in that new trailer, right, but do you think Bill Hader can do better? Several months ago, Mean Magazine got Hader to do his own short remake of Bad Lieutenant. I think he got Harvey Keitel down pretty good.

Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage is to star in a remake of 1992 film "Bad Lieutenant," the grim drama which stoked controversy for its explicit depictions of sex and drug use. Entertainment industry journal Daily Variety reported that the film, which featured Harvey Keitel as the lead in the original, would be directed by acclaimed German film-maker Werner Herzog. Drawing elements from the original film, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans features a crooked cop (Nicolas Cage) who is a drug addict and takes sexual favors for bribes. The script for the remake was penned by TV writer William Finkelstein. One major change from the original film was moving the setting from New York City to New Orleans. Herzog insists that the film is not a remake, saying, "It only has a corrupt policeman as the central character and that's about it." Herzog went on to say that he has never seen Ferrara's film.

It's almost too obvious that this so-called Bad Lieutenant remake from Werner Herzog and Nicolas Cage is destined to become the crack junkie of Netflix a year from now; an instant guilty pleasure -- the sort of film some folks will hate, but some will adore. The original 1992 Bad Lieutenant from Abel Ferrara (and starring Harvey Keitel in the lead) was like a shock to the heart; a gritty, nasty, foul-mouthed dirty cop flick that made you immediately want to take a shower once the end credits began to scroll.
This new version, which carries its own original story and isn't a remake (according to Herzog), definitely looks to keep a lot of the nastiness, but injects it with that odd Cagian humor as well. How can you not laugh at Cage when he spits out sentences like, "What, you don't have a lucky crack pipe?" Eva Mendes (reteaming with

Werner Herzog's self-proclaimed-non-remake Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans starring Nicolas Cage has just received an online burst of coverage thanks to a promo reel that has just arrived online. The film is described as an updated version of 1992's The Bad Lieutenant, but Herzog has said he has never seen the original which received an Nc-17 rating with the depraved title character (Harvey Keitel) heavily involved in drugs, gambling, sex and stealing while a New York police officer. Well, whether Herzog never saw the original or not it appears he has tapped into that description to excess. Along with Cage the film features Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Shawn Hatosy, Xzibit, Shea Whigham, Brad Dourif and Denzel Whitaker and is expected to hit theaters at the end of this year. My assumption is the promo below was made for Cannes as sale

So nobody, particularly Abel Ferrara, really wanted to see Werner Herzog remake Bad Lieutenant, Ferrara's 1991 movie featuring Harvey Keitel as an officer of the law who's exactly what he sounds like. But after taking a gander at a trailer for the movie that has hit the internet in what seems to be a very unofficial way, I might have to change my mind. This shit looks kinda awesome. At the very least, it might be a shot for Nicolas Cage to redeem himself after such a long string of flops, and for Eva Mendes to seduce him in movie that isn't Ghost Rider. I have no idea how official this trailer is or how long it will be online, so check it out below while you still can. It's like House on heavier drugs and with guns. It might be the best thing you see all day.

I have no idea where this suddenly came from, but apparently it's been floating on YouTube for almost a whole month without going noticed (only 303 views as of writing). This is a trailer for Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, Werner Herzog's remake of Abel Ferrara's infamous 1992 film starring Harvey Keitel. It's probably a leak or something, so it might get pulled any minute. Watch it now:

Yeah. What the wow? I'm not sure what to make of that. I feel like I just swallowed the sound of a thousand souls choking in unison. At this point I'm used to Nicolas Cage's name associated with craptacular movies, but I'm madly curious as to what the hell drew Herzog to direct this. Especially if we're to believe his claim that he has never seen nor heard of the original.

You can bring a 1992 Harvey Keitel classic back home on DVD this July. Bad Lieutenant: Special Edition will come back to DVD on July 28. This new DVD will be priced at $19.98 Srp and you can take a look at the cover art and special features below. The film stars Harvey Keitel, Victor Argo and Paul Calderone.
Keitel is a nameless New York cop, hopelessly addicted to drugs, gambling, and sex. As he makes his way to various crime scenes, he is concerned only with taking bets from his fellow cops on the outcome of the ongoing National League playoffs. As his bad decisions drive him deeper into debt, his life becomes a surreal hell, with a constant intake of crack, coke, heroin, and booze eroding what remains of his sanity. An investigation into the rape of a nun leads to his spiritual breakdown at the church crime scene, where

The Peter J. Owens Award—named after longtime San Francisco benefactor of arts and charitable organizations Peter J. Owens (1936-1991)—honors an actor whose work exemplifies brilliance, independence and integrity. This year’s recipient Robert Redford joins such previous honorees as Angelica Houston, Geena Davis, Danny Glover, Gérard Depardieu, Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Annette Benning, Nicholas Cage, Sean Penn, Wynona Ryder, Stockard Channing, Kevin Spacey, Dustin Hoffman, Chris Cooper, Joan Allen, Ed Harris, Robin Williams and Maria Bello.
The onstage tribute to Redford included a clip reel, an onstage conversation with Phil Bronstein, and a spanking new print of Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Graham Leggat introduced Phil Bronstein as Vice President and Editor-at-Large of the San Francisco Chronicle. Phil began his career as film reviewer and Leggat mentioned that he once wrote a very long review in which he completely forgot to mention the title of the film.

Having Harvey Keitel say he's going to knock my glasses off my face and Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News say he was going to punch me out were two of the highlights of the Tribeca Film Festival opening night premiere of Woody Allen's Whatever Works. And I didn't even mention I got to hang out with Larry David and Woody Allen yet! This was one of the more epic
