The Weekend Rent: Rick Baker's Out-of-This-World Oscar-Winning Creations
12 hours ago | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Rick Baker might not be a household name, but the special-effects makeup maestro has won more Oscars—seven—than Steven Spielberg and Meryl Streep combined for creating some of cinema's most memorable creatures. This weekend he goes back for Men in Black III to create more outrageous aliens, including some groovy retro-looking ones for when Agent J (Will Smith) travels back in time to 1969 and encounters a younger Agent K (Josh Brolin). Baker's first professional gig was to assist makeup legend Dick Smith on The Exorcist. He worked on other notable movies for years (including second unit on Star Wars) and won his first Oscar for Best Makeup for An American Werewolf in London the first year the Academy created the category. The wolf transformations in...

Hey Star Wars ! Happy 35th !
16 hours ago | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Where were you 35 years ago, fellow movie geeks ( if you even existed ) ? Well, it turns out that today, May 25, 2012, is the 35th anniversary of the day the original Star Wars ( it wouldn’t be given the episode IV subtitle for several years ) exploded on USA movie screens. This was the big one. Steven Spielberg had established the Summer as a prime time for escapist Hollywood blockbusters with Jaws in 1975 , but George Lucas solidified ” school’s out ” as the ” get out of the heat and lose yourself in a fantasy world ” season. It’s difficult to convey to you younger film fans what a game changer this was. Most sci-fi fantasy films were ultra-low budget saucers on the loose with guys in ill-fitting rubber suits B movies. We had the occasional big, stompin’ monster epics from Japan along with the James Bond series ( by then in the very tongue-in-cheek Roger Moore »

Star Wars Celebrates 35 Years Of “The Force”
18 hours ago | Fox All Access | See recent Fox All Access news »
On May 25th, 1977, the cinematic landscape was forever transformed with the release of George Lucas’ sci-fi epic Star Wars. Although the studio hedged its bets during the opening weekend (Star Wars was initially released to just 43 theaters), the picture immediately received excellent word of mouth, sending Lucas in an entirely different stratosphere from colleagues Steven Spielberg, Brian De Palma, and Martin Scorsese. Lucas admits that he was surprised by the film’s monumental success. (Click on the audio player to hear George Lucas) george Lucas
Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia in the movie, admitted that she had no idea Star Wars would become a worldwide smash. The actress claims she was just trying to get all of her lines right during production, and she says learning all of her dialogue wasn’t so easy.

Exclusive: An Interview With Vic Armstrong, "The World's Greatest Stuntman"
18 hours ago | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Vic Armstrong has worked in the film industry for over three decades, and regardless of whether it's his work as a stuntman, stunt coordinator or director, one need only think of their favourite action movie and you can just about guarantee that Vic worked on it. Whether it's doubling for the likes of Christopher Reeve, Sean Connery and Harrison Ford or working alongside directors such as Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott and Irving Kirshner, the story of "The World's Greatest Stuntman" is a truly fascinating one. Yesterday, I was lucky enough to talk to Vic and ask him about some of the many projects he's tackled over the years, as well as hearing his fascinating insights into the stunt industry and much more. A big thank you to Titan Books' Tom green for setting up the interview and to Vic himself for taking the time to answer my questions. The Book »
Barry Sonnenfeld Explains Why Justin Bieber Is an Alien
20 hours ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
In the previous two Men in Black movies, the MiB video surveillance zoomed in on famous people who were in fact aliens (or suspected aliens): In the first film, the list included Isaac Mizrahi, Danny DeVito, Sylvester Stallone, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg. In MiB3, which opens this weekend, the Men in Black are monitoring new celebr-e.T.s (trademark ours), including Lady Gaga (of course), Justin Bieber, the Dalai Lama, Shaun White, and Tim Burton. So when Vulture ran into director Barry Sonnenfeld at the premiere party on the Intrepid flight deck on Wednesday, we had to ask: What makes these people aliens?"This will get me into trouble," Sonnenfeld laughed. "But my theory behind Justin Bieber is that he's from Canada." The director then explained a larger theory behind aliens in Canada, in which an undisclosed alien species was planning to come down and live in the U. »

'Men In Black 3,' 'Moonrise Kingdom' And More: Double Feature Friday!
20 hours ago | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
This week in theaters, Tommy Lee Jones gets a little help from Josh Brolin, letting him do most of the Tommy Lee Jones-ing in "Men In Black 3," and Wes Anderson unveils his ode to Wes Anderson with "Moonrise Kingdom." If you're looking for wonderful cinematic pairings then look no further than Double Feature Friday!
"Men In Black 3" & "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada"
Tommy Lee Jones doesn't like a lot of things. I doubt he likes making "Men In Black" movies. He probably doesn't like you very much, but he does like making westerns. Tlj even directed his very own western in 2005 with "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada." Very much in the vein of a novel by Jones' favorite writer, Cormac McCarthy, "Three Burials" follows Pete Perkins, a rancher, who must fulfill a promise he made to his former employee Melquiades. When a border patrol agent kills old Mel, »

The bullying of ‘Bully,’ and other musings on screen violence
24 May 2012 1:44 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
And so, the war over The Weinstein Company’s provocative documentary, Bully, ends – to use an exhausted cliché – not with a bang, but with a whimper. Since its release at the end of March, the doc has grossed approximately $3 million; not bad for a reality piece, and, measured against the flick’s $1.1 million budget, it means TWC will go home with some money in its pocket. But considering the thundering opening bombardments which accompanied the film’s debut, it’s hard not to look at that sum as a bit of a disappointment. After all, Disney’s warm and cuddly and topically irrelevant doc Chimpanzee, released almost three weeks later to a lot less fuss, has earned over $27 million.
Undoubtedly, there are going to be those who think Bully was hobbled at the box office by its nasty run-in with the MPAA. But I keep looking at Bully’s $3 mil, »

We're delivering the headlines direct (via London) from the Croisette on the day The Paperboy premieres
9.24am: Good morning and welcome to day nine of the Cannes liveblog. Without further ado, let's see what the Cannesettes are tweeting as they come out of this morning's big screening, Lee Daniels's The Paperboy …
Hearty boos for The Paperboy
— Damon Wise (@yo_damo) May 24, 2012
I tell you what, Carax has Nothing on Lee Daniels. Cinema does not get much weirder than Nicole Kidman pissing on Zac Efron. #cannes

The Paperboy screens at Cannes. Calamitous Florida noir, buggers fine source novel with abandon. Kidman pisses on Zac Efron (literally)
— Xan Brooks (@XanBrooks) May 24, 2012
The Paperboy: a right old Southern gumbo but weirdly enjoyable. Right now Lee Daniels could well be the world's best bad director. #cannes

On The Scene: Where Did The Bike Sequence From 'E.T' Take Place?
24 May 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
This summer, "E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial" turns 30 years old. One of the most iconic films in history, Steven Spielberg's 1982 classic tells the story of a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas) and an alien who's been stranded on Earth. Eventually, he and his little sister, Gertie (played by the cherubic Drew Barrymore), befriend the creature and name him E.T., hiding him from their mother and returning him home. While the famous flick has its fair share of iconic scenes, none is more recognizable than the moment Elliott bikes through the park with E.T., launching into the air and flying across the night sky. While it's (sadly) not possible to experience this type of travel, you can visit the park -- Porter Ranch, located in Northridge Los Angeles -- where that scene, along with several of the movie's other famous moments, were filmed.

Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 2 of 5)
24 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Oliver Reed as Athos in The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973/1974, UK):
These films were actually shot all at once but ultimately released as two separate films telling one long story. As the musketeer with a dark past, Oliver Reed provides a lot of the heart and soul in these very entertaining and well-made films. Technically, since we have to isolate one film for our fantasy nomination, it would be The Four Musketeers as his role is more prominent in that film. Reed’s reunion scene with Faye Dunaway’s Milady is superb as is Reed’s intense swordplay with an array of opponents including Christopher Lee. An underrated actor whose career was damaged by well-documented alcohol problems and notorious off-screen behavior, Reed still logged in some truly incredible acting performances over the course of his career. His portrayal of Athos is definitely one of them.

The River: The Complete First Season DVD Preview
The River premiered on ABC at midseason and was produced by Oren Peli (the director of the terrifying film Paranormal Activity) and Steven Spielberg. It had a very interesting premise and plot: months ago, Dr. Emmett Cole (Bruce Greenwood) disappeared deep in the Amazon. An adventurer and television star by trade, Emmett spent his life exploring the world's uncharted territories with his film crew, his wife Tess (Leslie Hope), and his son, Lincoln (Joe Anderson).
As time went on, Lincoln pulled away from his nomadi father, preferring to settle down in a steady job, and Emmett and Tess encountered problems in their marriage. Fast-forward to six months ago, when Emmett and his crew disappeared, and to present day, when Tess approaches Lincoln, saying that Emmett's beacon is once again transmitting a signal from deep within the Amazon.

Top 10: Aliens on Earth movies
23 May 2012 12:27 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
With Men in Black 3 hitting UK cinemas this week we thought we’d take a look back through cinematic history at some other movies featuring other-worldy beings here on planet earth and compile a Top 10 of the very best.
1) E.T. (1982)
The grand-daddy of aliens on Earth movies, Steven Spielberg’s E.T. is a classic example of the space alien movie in which a meek and alienated little boy finds a stranded extraterrestrial and has to find the courage to defy the authorities to help the alien return to its home planet.
2) They Live (1988)
If E.T. is an example of a good alien-human meeting then John Carpenter’s They Live is the exact opposite as a drifter, played by wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, discovers a pair of sunglasses that allow him to see the fact that aliens have taken over Earth.
3) The Blob (1988)
1988 was a good year for alien invasion movies, »

Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 1 of 5)
23 May 2012 12:39 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
With the Academy Awards for the 2011 film year in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to take a look at one of the event’s most consistently fascinating categories: Best Supporting Actor. The most interesting story in the category this year isn’t who got nominated, it’s who didn’t. More specifically, Albert Brooks was completely robbed of a nomination for his performance as film producer turned lethal gangster Bernie Rose in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive.
As much as I’d like to say I was surprised by this, considering both the quality of performance and Brooks’ slew of nominations from other critical circles, in light of the Academy’s history of overlooking outstanding supporting performances, I simply can’t.
Following is a chronological look at a number of performances richly deserving of a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination.
In some cases, the performances are in films »

Review: The River Season 1
23 May 2012 12:00 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Dr Emmet Cole, the host of a wilderness reality show, goes missing in the Amazon. He is presumed dead by friends and family until a signal from his communication device shows up on radar. With renewed hope, a group of his family members, friends and colleagues head out to into the jungle to try and locate him. They, of course, decide that their exploits will make for good television, so they bring a camera crew to document their findings.
Oren Peli (Paranormal Activity) and Steven Spielberg's new "found footage"-style television show was somewhat of an acquired taste for me. After watching the entire season, I kind of enjoyed it, but there is no way I would have continued watching The River if I had caught it during its original broadcast. The first episode simply doesn't provide enough motivation for the viewer to return for the next episode. The »
