Happy Birthday, Stephen Colbert!
13 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Nation, today comedian Stephen Colbert is 48!
Colbert is perhaps best known for his patriotic, right-wing news anchor character (yes, it's an act) on Comedy Central’s satirical news show The Colbert Report. The host has generated a loyal following since transitioning from a correspondent on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show to host his own show in 2005 (the idea for The Colbert Report was first introduced on Stewart's show in 2003).
Colbert's antics jumped from the small screen to the nation's capital when he and Stewart teamed up to launch the Rally To Restore Sanity/March To Keep Fear Alive in October 2010. Attracting hundreds of thousands of supporters to the National Mall, the rally "[poked] fun at the nation's ill-tempered politics, its fear-mongers and doomsayers," the Associated Press reported.
In the days before his self-serious, bombastic persona dominated Comedy Central, the comedian was part of The Second City improv group in Chicago »

Letter: Philip Jenkinson interviewed Alfred Hitchcock, Julie Andrews and Joan Crawford for Film Review
6 May 2012 4:03 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Philip Jenkinson launched the TV show that was the precursor to Barry Norman's long-running film review series. Film Preview on BBC1 was a weekly clip show that sampled all the films to be shown on BBC TV in the week ahead. Phil presented it with enthusiasm and expertise. I was the studio director. It then changed its title to Film Review and broadened its base to include new releases in the cinema, and interviews with film-makers. Phil interviewed Joan Crawford, Robert Wise, Julie Andrews, Dirk Bogarde, Robert Vaughn, Ken Russell, Marianne Faithfull and Alfred Hitchcock – who was impressed by Phil's encyclopedic knowledge of his oeuvre.

Rewind TV: Perspectives – The Wind in the Willows; The Hoarder Next Door; Maestro at the Opera – review
5 May 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Griff Rhys Jones is too indulgent in his childhood reading, while Britain's extreme hoarders seek help
Perspectives: The Wind in the Willows with Griff Rhys Jones (ITV1) | ITV Player
The Hoarder Next Door (C4) | 4oD
Maestro at the Opera (BBC2) | iPlayer
I can only think it must be the trauma of having your parents send you away to school to be thrashed by strangers that makes Englishmen of a particular class and generation cling to the more cloying memories of their childhood – buttered toast, honey, rice pudding, the bosomy smell of nanny, and of course the unshakable obsession with children's fantasy literature from the age of steam and twittering hedgerows. I won't quibble as to the benefits to the impressionable young mind of Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan or Beatrix Potter; I just find it puzzling that influential grown-ups with proper jobs treasure them with such endless longing.

Thn’s Top 10 Disney Movies: Part 1
3 May 2012 11:08 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To celebrate the release of the legendary Beauty And The Beast in 3D, Thn is taking a look back at the very best Disney films of all time.To appease the purists, we have omitted any joint productions with Pixar (we need to give the others a fighting chance, after all). Whether you prefer singing dwarves, flying elephants, dancing broomsticks or saucy mermaids, check out our favourites.
Let’s do this. Oo-da-lally, bitches!
10. Dumbo (1941)
The earliest (and shortest) film on our list, Dumbo is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. The feel-good story of a baby elephant, who is mocked for his over-sized ears but learns to fly with the help of a talking mouse. Something we can all relate to. Although the feature is famous for being about a flying elephant, it is remembered for three key musical numbers;

Best Movie Ever? "Victor/Victoria"
2 May 2012 10:08 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Like Nine to Five, this week's candidate for Best Movie Ever is righteously ridiculous. It's sophisticated and bawdy as hell. In fact, it's a whole bunch of awesome dichotomies: wacky but meaningful, musical but conversational, broad but subversive, hilarious but concerned with very real taboos. And more than anything, it's fun, which is more than enough to qualify it for the finest film ever. It is the saucy superiority of Victor/Victoria, a movie that's so shockingly whimsical and warm, I'm willing to bet -- if you've seen it before -- you're lighting up just remembering your favorite moment or character. I know I am. And I'll save her for last.
Let's jump back to Paris in the '30s, contemplate the ferocious morality of Julie Andrews and her character's commitment to drag, and relive the gayest and feyest and flyest of '80s comedies. C'est magnifique!

Watch: Julie Andrews Sings Lovely Duet With Colbert
25 April 2012 9:38 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
During last night's "Colbert Report," Stephen announced that he will release his first children's book, "I Am A Pole (And So Can You!)" And he even got Maurice Sendak, who called him an "idiot" last time they spoke, to offer the dazzling blurb: "The sad thing is, I liked it!"
Stephen, always a man of humility, knew that he needed to learn from the best before taking over the world of children's publishing. So he spoke to the princess of that world (not to mention several others), Dame Julie Andrews, about her own literary career -- she's written 26 children's books since all but retiring from performing.
Much of that retirement has been due to a botched vocal surgery Andrews underwent in 1998, which kept her from singing regularly in public, despite becoming synonymous with musicals like "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music." But Stephen refused to take no for an answer, »

Duchess Catherine praised as 'extremely hard working'
25 April 2012 5:01 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Britain's Duchess Catherine has been praised as 'extremely hard working'. The royal joined the British monarchy last year when she married second-in-line to the throne Prince William and Dame Julie Andrews - who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi in both 'The Princess Diaries' films - is impressed with Catherine's work ethic. She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: 'There's a lot more to princesses these days. Their civic duties alone. 'Look at Catherine, the lovely princess we have in Britain right now. I think she's probably extremely hard working and has an enormous amount of responsibility speaking for the royal family and doing her royal duties and going out to her charities. 'It's a very busy and hard life'. »
Julie Andrews Not Expecting A 'Princess Diaries 3' With Anne Hathaway
24 April 2012 12:44 PM, PDT | Access Hollywood | See recent Access Hollywood news »
Julie Andrews was an integral part of "The Princess Diaries" film franchise, but she doesn't expect there to be a third installment in the series.
"That's a good question," Julie responded when Access Hollywood Live's Kit Hoover asked her about making a third "Princess Diaries" with Anne Hathaway. "I would never say no because Disney's so wonderfully clever and inventive, but I would think they'll stay with just the two because of Annie."
Anne has, of course, gone on to more mature roles since she played the plucky teen who found out she was the princess of Genovia ...

Julie Andrews Loves Tom Hanks As Disney
23 April 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Beloved actress Julie Andrews has applauded casting bosses for landing Tom Hanks as Walt Disney in a new film about the making of Mary Poppins - because the Oscar winner personifies what was special about the movie mogul.
Andrews, who played the title character in the Disney film, loves the idea of Hanks portraying her film boss in the retelling of the 20-year battle to secure the rights to turn author P.L. Travers' book into a movie musical.
The actress tells the Los Angeles Times, "I can see that would be great... Disney had that little twinkle in his eye, and he was hugely smart and a little fatherly in some ways. I think Hanks would be wonderful in that."
And she admits she'll be keeping a close eye of the development of the film - because she was such a big part of the story.
Andrews adds, "It'll be interesting to see what they tell and how they tell it." »
Julie Andrews Heaps Praise On Prince William's Bride
23 April 2012 3:11 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Great Dame Julie Andrews has heaped praise on the Duchess Of Cambridge, insisting she has given wannabe princesses a taste of the hard work required to be a young royal.
The beloved actress, who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi in both The Princess Diaries films, claims Prince William's wife has given the antiquated image of a princess a completely modern makeover.
Andrews insists the former Kate Middleton is showing the world the royal role she has taken on is all about responsibilities and work, not posh frocks, glass slippers and balls.
The actress tells the Los Angeles Times, "There's a lot more to princesses these days. Their civic duties alone. Look at Kate, the lovely princess we have in Britain right now.
"I think she's probably extremely hard working and has an enormous amount of responsibility speaking for the royal family and doing her royal duties and going out to her charities. It's a very busy and hard life." »
Alfred Hitchcock, Alfred Hitchcock, and Alfred Hitchcock
23 April 2012 11:22 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Look! It's Anthony Hopkins and Toby Jones as the great Alfred Hitchcock and the great Alfred Hitchcock in the upcoming movies Alfred Hitchcock and The Making of Psycho (2013) about, you guessed it, the making of Psycho, and The Girl (2012... post production but I'm guessing also 2013) about the making of The Birds. We keep forgetting that the second one exists (Cinema Blend recently reminded us while talking to Tippi Hedren at the Tribeca Film Festival) which is the second time that's happened to a Toby Jones biopic. First Capote, now Hitch? Poor guy.
All of which begs for us to make it a trinity...
Who else should play Hitchcock and which movie other than Psycho & The Birds deserves this "making of" dramatization. For some reason I'm tempted to say Frenzy (1972) to get a late career trying to keep up with the times mixed reception drama but I could go for Torn Curtain »

Clara Bow, Andrei Tarkovsky, Audrey Hepburn Movies
20 April 2012 7:23 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Clara Bow, Mantrap What do Andrei Tarkovsky, Edward G. Robinson, Clara Bow, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Audrey Hepburn have in common? Easy. They'll all be featured in some form or other at the Library of Congress' Packard Campus in Culpeper, Virginia, in May. [Packard Campus screening schedule.] Andrei Tarkovsky will be represented by the classic sci-fier Solaris (1971), billed as the Soviet Union's answer to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and by the classic period drama Andrei Rublev (1969), a meditation on art, religion, spirituality, and human brutality and stupidity. A technicality: Solaris will actually be screened on April 27. Edward G. Robinson stars in The Little Giant (1933), a pre-Code crime comedy featuring Mary Astor. The (at the time) energetic Roy Del Ruth (The Maltese Falcon, Taxi!, Employees' Entrance) directed. Clara Bow is the star of Mantrap (1926), a fluffy romantic comedy of interest chiefly because of Bow and because neither of her two leading »

Julie Andrews: 'The Sound of Music is too perfect for a remake'
18 April 2012 7:50 PM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Julie Andrews has named The Sound of Music as her favourite family film of all time. In an interview with The Huffington Post, the legendary actress expressed her fondness for the 1959 musical movie in which she starred as Maria, a nun who leaves the convent to becomes the governess of the Von Trapp children. Andrews said that while she believes that Hollywood is "cyclical" and prone to releasing unnecessary remakes of movies, she believes that The Sound of Music is too perfect to be redone. "Everything is cyclical in Hollywood. They said they wouldn't make any more boxing movies, and then they made Rocky. There weren't many wonderful roles for (more) »

Who Would Julie Andrews Cast In 'Sound Of Music' Remake?
18 April 2012 11:57 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Speaking to Julie Andrews in person is exactly like talking to a hybrid of Mary Poppins and Maria von Trapp -- particularly when she tells you in a tempered English accent that the most important thing you can do for yourself is to "let your sparkle out." That advice comes with all the authority and love of a spoonful of sugar.
At age 76, after making more than 30 movies, Andrews is now writing a series of "Very Fairy Princess" children's books with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. The lastest in the series, “The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl!” is out now. The Huffington Post met up with Andrews at a tea party this week to discuss the books, feminism and, naturally, "The Sound of Music."
Amid all the debate over what kinds of characters offer the best role models for young girls, Andrews is not afraid to say »

Liza Minnelli, Kim Novak, Robert Wagner, Tippi Hedren and Debbie Reynolds in person. Black Narcissus, Vertigo, Cabaret, and The Fountainhead projected on gigantic screens at Grauman's Chinese and Egyptian Theatres. Could any classic film fan wish for more? You could. And, at this year's annual TCM Classic Film Festival, which takes place from April 12th through the 15th, you'd get more: Kirk Douglas, Stanley Donen, Angie Dickenson, Norman Lloyd, Rhonda Fleming, and Norman Jewison appearing at special events and screenings of Two for the Road, Chinatown, Casablanca, The Longest Day, and The Thomas Crown Affair. But before going on about this year's festival, a look back is essential.
