Deborah Kerr: Sexual Outlaw

22 May 2012 2:03 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr, The King and I Deborah Kerr Pt.1: What Lies Beneath True, you most likely won’t find Deborah Kerr labeled a sex goddess anywhere, but that’s merely because her sexual allure, apart from the beach scene in From Here to Eternity, was hardly obvious. Unlike overgrown little girls such as Marilyn Monroe, Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Jayne Mansfield, or Brigitte Bardot, Kerr looked and acted like a mature woman even in her 20s. In other words, there was nothing kittenish about Deborah Kerr; she didn’t pout. Unlike Barbara Stanwyck, Joan Crawford, Rita Hayworth, Marlene Dietrich, Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau, Lizabeth Scott, or Susan Sarandon, Kerr’s seething sensuality had nothing to do with sultriness, come-hither looks, or bare body parts. Unlike Simone Simon, Jane Greer, the latter-day Barbara Stanwyck, and other (French or American) film noir dames, or Theda Bara and assorted film »

Tues Top Ten: Tennis in the Movies

22 May 2012 1:27 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

The world's number one ranked male tennis player turns a quarter century today so in honor of Novak Djokovic why not celebrate with a list of best tennis moments in the movies?

Because... uh...

Are there any? When I first thought of doing this list I was like Yes -- little known fact: I played tennis daily one summer in high school and still love the game  -- only to hit a brick wall rather than a low net. You may have heard this complaint before from tennis fans but given the abundance of sports movies of every other stripe it's almost like Hollywood hates the game. Those private tennis courts on celebrity acreage are all going to waste.

I've come up with ten things anyway.

Best Tennis Something Or Other In The Movies

You should know upfront that I've never seen the Chad Lowe boy-in-drag masterpiece Nobody's Perfect (1989) -- »

Jim Sturgess & Susan Sarandon Put On Steven Shainberg's 'The Big Shoe,' Mark Wahlberg Takes 'The Disciple Program'

22 May 2012 10:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

It’s been seven years since Steven Shainberg last directed a film, the mostly forgotten Nicole Kidman vehicle "Fur," but it appears from a new press release that he has finally locked down his next project.

“The Big Shoe” finds Shainberg (“Secretary”) in familiar territory as the film is described as “a sexy comedic drama” that will follow Jim Sturgess (“Across The Universe,” “One Day”) as a gifted shoe designer, Nate, who is forced to break free from a family who want to cheapen his art for their own commercial gain. Susan Sarandon, who’s been getting busy lately, co-stars as his overbearing mother who tries to lure him back to work by hiring a psychotherapist and a “muse.” The project was linked to Joaquin Phoenix and Mia Wasikowska a couple of years back, and this feels like a little bit of a downgrade, at least when it comes to the leading man. »

Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jessica Biel, and Chloe Moretz Leading ‘Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’; Sarandon and Sturgess Slip Into ‘Big Shoe’

21 May 2012 10:39 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

AngelWorld only came into our field of vision this past weekend, but they’re jumping right out of the gate, hitting the ground running, striking the iron while it’s hot… you get the idea. In this economy — brief digression: a favorite saying of those who don’t understand how “this economy” works — take it as an encouraging sign for independent film.

First, Deadline reports that they’ve corralled Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jessica Biel, and Chloe Moretz for The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (the latter part of that title hasn’t been used enough), a drama written by Bill Purple & Robbie Pickering — the former will be directing — and with music provided by Justin Timberlake, who’s also acting as a music supervisor.

Their script centers on Henry (Morgan), a “grieving widower” who finds solace and hope by helping a “wisecracking young girl (Moretz) fulfill her dream of building »

A family therapist on Jeff, Who Lives at Home

20 May 2012 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

There needs to be more attention paid to young people moving back home – but this slightly preposterous movie doesn't count

I've spent eight years researching the relationships parents have with their children once they're adults. That's the topic considered in this film: 30-year-old Jeff (Jason Segel) is still living at home with his mother Sharon (Susan Sarandon), who worries about the fact that he smokes a lot of dope and won't get a job.

It's incredible, really, that so little academic research has been conducted into the growing phenomenon of young people moving back home. I call it "second-phase parenting" and, in my job, I see many such families who are looking for guidance. In one case, a son living at home had been sacked from his job after testing positive for drugs. His parents didn't even know he was a user.

The media paints an endlessly negative picture, calling »

Criminal Susan Sarandon Will Ruin Michelle Monaghan’s Life in Paranoia Thriller ‘Still of Night’

18 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

It’s not every day that press releases are issued that refer to Susan Sarandon as a “devious criminal,” but that’s where we’re at when it comes to Jonathan Mostow‘s Still of Night, a project that sounds compelling just by virtue of those two little words. News from Cannes (duh) reports that Exclusive Media will finance and produce the new thriller, which will see Sarandon’s criminal character making life really hard for Michelle Monaghan, who will portray a woman with more than enough trouble on her plate already. Mostow (Terminator 3, U-571, Surrogates) has penned the script himself, which is described (quite effusively) as “a paranoia thriller that builds to a pulse-pounding crescendo, Still of Night is a smart, stylish ride packed with shocking twists that will give you nightmares – because it could actually happen to you.” What? What, really? No! Tell me more! The film’s synopsis reads: “Katie Tyler (Michelle Monaghan) is »

Michelle Monaghan & Susan Sarandon Enter ‘Still of Night,’ Naveen Andrews Joins Naomi Watts In ‘Diana,’ Julianne Hough Finds ‘Safe Haven’

18 May 2012 2:45 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Since her breakout role in 2005’s “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” Michelle Monaghan has been steadily turning in solid supporting performances in everything from big-budget thrillers (“Mission Impossible III”) to more character-based dramas (“North Country”), but Hollywood still hasn’t seen her as a leading lady. That’s all set to change though, as Monaghan has signed on to appear in her biggest role yet alongside Susan Sarandon.

Jonathan Mostow (“Terminator 3,” “U-571”) will direct Monaghan and Sarandon in the thriller “Still of Night,” from a script which he also penned. The film follows Monaghan as a young career woman who is forced to care for her missing sister’s daughter, and in the process of looking for her whereabouts, must outwit a criminal (Sarandon) in order to save her and her family’s lives. Sarandon playing a more devious character could be compelling, but otherwise this material seems to let down the talents of Monaghan, »

Michelle Monaghan and Susan Sarandon to Star in Jonathan Mostow’s Thriller Still Of The Night

18 May 2012 12:09 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Michelle Monaghan and Susan Sarandon are set to team up for the thriller Still of the Night.  Exclusive Media announced today that it would produce and finance the pic, written and to be directed by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines).  Monaghan stars as a career woman who sets out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her sister.  She ends up matching wits with a devious criminal, played by Sarandon, in order to save her and her sister.  If memory serves me right, Sarandon has never played such a straight-up villain before (I’m counting Stepmom as a half-villain).  It should be interesting to see the two talented actresses square off. Mostow’s last film, the 2009 sci-fi actioner Surrogates, wasn’t exactly a runaway hit with critics or audiences, but he’s off to a great start on Still of the Night by nabbing actors of Monaghan and Sarandon’s caliber. »
