Meet The Newest Bond Girl
22 May 2012 7:15 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Berenice Marlohe is about to blow up.
The 33-year-old French actress makes her American debut in the upcoming James Bond film "Skyfall," meaning she's the latest in a long line of famed Bond girls -- a subsect of actresses that began with Ursula Andress's performance as Honey Ryder in 1962's "Dr. No."
For her sake, Marlohe -- previously known for her work on French television -- isn't cursed with a character-name-as-double-entendre: she plays Sévérine in "Skyfall."
"My part is more like, let's say, classical," she told THR.com. "Interactions, acting, dialogue with the other actors. But I asked to be trained to fire guns, because I really felt like it would help me [push] the character in the direction I wanted her to be -- in terms of being focused and strong."
Directed by Sam Mendes, "Skyfall" finds James Bond (Daniel Craig) in a perilous situation after his past comes back to haunt him. »

Sky Movies gets licence to air James Bond films in HD
12 April 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Satellite broadcaster breaks ITV's near 40-year hold on franchise with deal to show all the films from October
BSkyB has broken ITV's almost 40-year hold on James Bond films, striking a deal to air the full 22-strong franchise in high definition.
Sky Movies has struck a deal with MGM to air all the Bond films, including Daniel Craig's latest outing in Skyfall which is due to premiere on pay-tv next spring, from October.
Bond films have been a staple of ITV's movie output since 1975. Sky has held pay-tv rights to new Bond movies since the 1990s, giving the satellite broadcaster the UK TV premiere of each.
Until now ITV has held the rights to repeat old Bond movies and broadcast the free-to-air premiere of new films in the franchise.
However, Sky now appears to have acquired all UK TV rights, shutting ITV out, although it is understood that the »

Essential Viewing For Fans Of ‘The Hunger Games’ (Part 2)
25 March 2012 5:17 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
6- The 10th Victim (La Decima vittima) (The Tenth Victim)
Directed by Elio Petri
Written by Tonino Guerra, Giorgio Salvioni, Ennio Flaiano and Elio Petri
Italy,1965
The 10th Victim was the first film to offer up the concept of a TV show wherein people hunt and kill one another for sport and to expand the idea into a satire on gameshows. Set in the 21st Century, the government and the private sector have joined forces to create a solution to crime by giving it a profitable outlet titled “The Big Hunt,” a popular worldwide game show in which contestants are chosen at random to chase one another around the world in a kill or be killed scenario. The winner of the first round moves on to the next. After ten wins, a player is retired from the game and gets a cash prize of one million dollars, but very few make it that far. »

Gary Ross's "The Hunger Games"
20 March 2012 2:05 PM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
R Kurt Osenlund gives Gary Ross's The Hunger Games three out of four stars, which is a fairly solid endorsement, coming from Slant. That's nice and all, but The Hunger Games as a film is really only half the story. The other half has to do with marketing and the impact the film will have on the industry, aspects of a movie we don't usually pay all that much attention to around here, but in this case, they cannot be ignored.
According to Bloomberg's Michael White, when it opens on Friday, The Hunger Games may pull in between $115 million and $270 million during the first three days of its run. "It will also transform Lions Gate, an independent filmmaker known for horror movies, Tyler Perry comedies and a long takeover fight with Carl Icahn. With The Hunger Games, Twilight and two more projects with sequel potential, Vancouver-based Lions Gate has »
10 cinematic future sports: would they be ratings hits?
20 March 2012 4:05 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
As The Hunger Games arrives in the UK, we look back at a few other future sports movies, and try to decide which, if any, would be a hit with TV audiences…
If sci-fi tells us nothing else about the future, it’s this: decades hence, football will have fallen out of fashion. Tennis will seem passé. Baseball? Horrendously archaic. Instead, the sports of the future will be violent tools of oppression, used by totalitarian governments to keep people off the streets and glued to their televisions.
This is the premise for numerous movies, books and videogames – including Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy of novels, in which teen gladiators (or ‘tributes’) are chosen at random and forced to fight to the death on television. The first book, of course, is now a well-received movie, and is the latest entry in a future sports subgenre that appears to have its seeds »
Top 10: Movie Moments recreated in Lego
24 February 2012 4:09 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
With anticipation surrounding the annual Oscars ceremony hotting up, a 17 year old A-Level student and avid Lego fan, Harry Bossert, has recreated the top ten movie moments of all time using the iconic bricks and popular minifigures. And, the results show that we are a nostalgic nation with eight out of ten of the scenes being from pre-90s movies and most recent from 1997!
Topping the poll conducted by Lego, British film-goers favourite moment was from E.T. where Elliot and Et rides the bicycle away in to night sky, with more than one in ten claiming it was their favourite movie scene of all time. Coming a close second and third, was Hollywood starlet, Marilyn Monroe, standing above the subway in The Seven Year Itch and Gene Kelly singing in the rain, making up near to 20% of the vote.

Top Ten Movie Moments Recreated in Lego
23 February 2012 2:47 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
This is very cool video to start the day with, and it continues the trend of mixing movies and Lego, something we’ve seen a lot recently with The Lord of the Rings and The Avengers editions and we hope to have some more movie related Lego stuff coming up soon on HeyUGuys.
Lego conducted a survey to find the top ten movie moments Lego fans wanted to see recreated and this video is the result. Harry Bossert of Zoot Productions was the man behind the video and it begs the question – how long before someone recreates a whole film using Lego?
The Indiana Jones scene is particularly fun as is the final E.T. moment, but take a look to find your favourite - The Sound of Music ended on a slightly surreal and terrifying note but Lego Ursula Andress more than makes up for that.

Skyfall: but where's the legs … ?
20 January 2012 7:00 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
What does this still from the new Bond film (co-starring the trunks) tell us about OO7?
1) Bond as Narcissus
As any therapist can testify, 007's fear of intimacy and commitment indicate a gnawing self-infatuation. Here, at last, the legend is spending quality time with the one who really matters – peering at his reflection in the lapping water of the hotel pool. He's tried the rest and knows he's best.
2) The empty lane
Bond is decisive; he has picked his lane and set his course. Happily there is no Ursula Andress rearing out of the shallows to sing about mango trees or splash chlorine in his eye.
3) Co-starring: the trunks
Missing, believed lost at sea, at the end of Casino Royale, the trunks are back, like Blofeld, and only a little worse for wear. The blue has slightly faded (reflecting their advancing years). They also seem to ride a little lower than usual (suggesting, »
Bond Stars To Unite For 50th Anniversary Party
15 January 2012 3:06 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Six actors who have played James Bond over the years are set to unite at a party to celebrate 007's 50th anniversary in Hollywood.
The superspy from Ian Fleming's books first hit screens in 1962 movie Dr. No with Sir Sean Connery in the lead role, and the other stars to officially play the iconic character in the franchise are Sir Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and current Bond Daniel Craig.
The actors will be brought together this year for a massive celebration to mark 50 years since the release of first movie, according to Britain's Sunday Express.
The event will take place following the premiere of the latest 007 film, Skyfall, in October and will also include many of the actresses who have played Bond girls over the years, including Ursula Andress and Eva Green.
A statement from the MGM movie studio reveals the party will be the climax of a "whole year of birthday celebrations for 007 in the movies", while Daniel Craig says, "It's an astonishing record for any character to endure for five decades in showbiz but I'll bet this: the franchise is such a phenomenon that in another 50 years time a whole new bunch of actors and their leading ladies will be gathering for another party when Bond becomes a centenarian." »

James Bond Villains Make Us Hate Nuclear Power
12 January 2012 8:10 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
In the film "Dr. No," super-duper-spy James Bond stops a villain bent on sabotaging a space launch with a nuclear ray by pushing him into a reactor's boiling cooling vat and blowing the entire plant to hell.
Subtle methods like this have made James Bond one of the screen's stealthiest heroes, but when he wasn't bagging Ursula Andress, what dents has 007 made to the public imagination in regards to the safety of nuclear power?
On the 50th anniversary of the release of "Dr. No," the BBC (via The Gaurdian) spoke to David Phillips, president of the Royal Society of Chemistry, who stated that he blames the first James Bond film and its successors for the public's "entirely negative" and "remorselessly grim" view of nuclear energy.
"It is not at all surprising that the public at home and abroad are skeptical," said Phillips "Nuclear power has to be part of the future national energy mix, »
