She Shot Hollywood

13 July 2009 8:45 AM, PDT | From Movieline | See recent Movieline news

Mary Ellen Mark has documented some of cinema's most haunted, precocious and celebrated film sets in her 40 years as a stills photographer, including the fraught all-star environments of Apocalypse Now, Marathon Man (with Dustin Hoffman, pictured) and On Golden Pond. Her new book,Seen Behind the Scene recollects the stories behind the shots, a sampling of which are now available over at Vanity Fair. Go for the Fellini, stay for the three-way, mildly Nsfw (or hardly anywhere else, really) Jack Nicholson/Candice Bergen/Art Garfunkel kiss from their Carnal Knowledge days. The Harry Potter kids will be imitating them before you know it. [Vf.com]

Mike Nichols Recalls "The Graduate"

8 June 2009 3:36 PM, PDT | From Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news

Director Mike Nichols reflected on his first experience watching his film The Graduate at a public movie screening in New York. He was stunned by the reaction of the audience, which was going wild over the events onscreen. Nichols admits that initially he took flack from college kids because the movie deftly avoided any mention of the central issue of the day: the Vietnam War. However, students began to rally to the movie and embraced it in a major way. Nichols also recalls that he rejected both Robert Redford and Candice Bergen for the film. For more click here

May Flowers, Sex and The City

31 May 2009 9:29 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

May Flowers

I'm not sure that Georgia O'Keeffe would have loved Sex & The City but I'm pretty sure Sex & The City loves Georgia O'Keeffe. Those lady flowers are everywhere.

While it's true that you can't really make a wedding movie without a floral arrangement, Sex... doesn't just use flowers for the bouquet toss.

Just give me the damn symbolic vaginas

-The Bachelor (1999)Flowers cling to Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw like she's a one woman photosynthesis factory. It'd be a stretch to say that every costume includes them but more often than not costume designer Patricia Field has dipped Carrie in vats of them: green florals (buying an apartment), red (bragging about her boyfriend), purple (single again), huge gigantor white florals just because. She's a photosynthesis factory and a color wheel.

Subtlety has never been Sex and the City's strong suit. The movie is all about the act

Candice Bergen And Steve McQueen's Family Attend Lincoln Center Screening Of "The Sand Pebbles"

21 May 2009 8:23 AM, PDT | From Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news

By Lee Pfeiffer

It was a very special opening night of The Film Society of Lincoln Center's week-long tribute to the films and career of Steve McQueen. Fox provided a stunning, newly restored 35mm print of director Robert Wise's 1966 epic The Sand Pebbles, which garnered McQueen his only Oscar nomination. Experiencing the film on the big screen with a superb sound system proved to be a wonderful experience - because if you haven't seen The Sand Pebbles in a theater, you haven't seen it at all. The evening kicked off with an introduction by Candice Bergen, who related that she was a rather nervous 19 year-old in the largely all-male company of heavyweights. She recalled how filming on Taiwan for many months was an arduous - and simultaneously boring - experience. In 1965, the island was largely devoid of any modern conveniences and newspapers and telephones were almost impossible to find.

Boston Legal: Season Five - DVD Review

12 May 2009 3:32 AM, PDT | From Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news

All court cases must come to an end. So it goes as the gavel comes down on the popular Boston Legal. The quirky characters get one more go round with the law before the door shuts on Crane, Poole, and Schmidt. Grab your lawyers, I feel like adjudicating. Crane, Poole, and Schmidt is a Boston law firm. The partners include the flamboyant Denny Crane (the flamboyant William Shatner), the senior and founding partner, who has Alzheimer.s disease, which he refers to as Mad Cow. Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen) was more a silent senior partner, but reappeared to take an active role in the firm when Denny.s behavior, which has always been strange, escalated and he began to shoot

DVD Playhouse—May 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount Studios releases two more classic titles from its library on special edition DVD: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is John Ford’s last masterpiece (although he would go on to direct two more very good films) from 1962: about an Eastern lawyer (James Stewart) who travels west only to find primal brutality in the form of sadistic bandit Liberty Valance (Lee Marvin, great as always) and pragmatic brutality in local rancher Tom Doniphon (John Wayne), each two sides of a coin that represent a way of life slowly dying out as Stewart’s modern brand of civilization tames the West. A perfect film, period. Howard Hawks’ El Dorado is essentially a remake of his earlier classic Rio Bravo, with John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and a young James Caan as lawmen joining forces against corrupt cattle barons. Great fun. Two disc sets.

Blu-Ray Review: Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway in Loathsome ‘Bride Wars’

7 May 2009 12:43 PM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

Chicago – Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson star in the awful “Bride Wars,” an alleged comedy with a great 3-disc Blu-Ray edition that still can’t hide the awful movie underneath.

Blu-Ray Rating: 2.0/5.0 Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) are best friends who have always dreamed of getting married at the Plaza Hotel. When their nuptials are accidentally scheduled for the same date, they begin torture campaigns against each other, trying to see who will flinch first and move their date or cancel their wedding altogether.

Bride Wars was released on Blu-Ray on April 28th, 2009.

Photo credit: Fox

What were they thinking? Kate Hudson has made some bad choices in recent years, but would the young actress who shined so brightly in “Almost Famous” please come back? And Anne Hathaway should simply know better. It’s not hard to believe that “Bride Wars” hurt her Oscar campaign for “Rachel Getting Married”. It

Boston Legal: Final Season and Last Episode Come to DVD

5 May 2009 10:06 AM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

After five seasons on ABC, court adjourned for Boston Legal last December. An often controversial and outlandish legal drama, the series revolves around Alan Shore (James Spader), Denny Crane (William Shatner), Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen), and other legal eagles from Boston's Crane Poole and Schmidt.

Other prominent castmembers have included Rene Auberjonois, Mark Valley, Julie Bowen, Christian Clemenson, Gary Anthony Williams, John Larroquette, Tara Summers, Henry Gibson, Constance Zimmer, Monica Potter, Rhona Mitra, Saffron Burrows, Meredith Eaton, Taraji P. Henson, Justin Mentell, Ryan Michelle Bathe, Craig Bierko, Lake Bell, Jill Brennan, Marisa Coughlan, Shelley Berman, Michael Ensign, and Roma Maffia.

Creator David E. Kelley knew that this would be the final season so he decided to end the show with 13 of the craziest and emotionally charged episodes in the series' history. In a nice tip of the hat to previous seasons, characters played by Auberjonois, Bowen, Larry Miller and Betty White

"Bride Wars" - The 3-Disc Blu-ray review. Something Old, Something New, I need something to throw, pass me that high-heeled shoe!

4 May 2009 | From Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news

The “Bride Wars” 3-Disc Blu-ray reviewby Peter Dimako Something Old, Something New, I need something to throw, pass me that high-heeled shoe! “Bride Wars” proves to be a major slip for the talented Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway is an immensely capable actress; much-beloved by fans of various genres with earlier work in the teen romance “Ella Enchanted” and the recent, critically acclaimed “Rachel Getting Married.” What possessed her to paste her name on this concoction borders on perplexing.  Kate Hudson’s career has been on the rocks lately, hitting a down spiral at the box office for the most part with her best, latest work to date being the entertaining “Fool’s Gold” and the underrated comedy “My Best Friend’s Girl.” Thankfully enough for her, she can be seen next in Rob Marshall’s “Nine” with Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard and Penélope Cruz on boad. Together, these two high

Movie Review: 'Bride Wars'

4 April 2009 10:35 AM, PDT | From India.com | See recent India.com news

Midway through Bride Wars there is a scene where a lone tear falls down Kate Hudson's cheek. That one tear tells a much larger story than all of Bride Wars.

In that one tear is Kate Hudson's career and it goes all the way back to Almost Famous, when William Miller told Penny Lane she had been sold to "Humble Pie for fifty bucks and a case of beer." A tear rolled down Hudson's cheek at that moment as well, and outside of Almost Famous and my moderate liking of How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days I imagine Kate Hudson looks back at a series of missteps and wonders how she went from an Oscar nominated actress in a Cameron Crowe film to a B-list actress performing alongside Dane Cook and following that up with what is likely to be Anne Hathaway's last career misstep

NYC Actress An Overachiever

2 March 2009 12:05 AM, PST | From NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news

So Candice Bergen called. So what's she doing now that it's not "Boston Legal" anymore?

"I was just offered another series, a half-hour comedy, but it'll film out of La, and though I have a house there, my husband works in New York, and our home's New York. For 4½ years, I commuted to California to film 'Boston Legal.' Those were very long days. Once in a while they'd write me out of a segment so I could get some rest. But what can I say? I'm used to working. It's what I know,

Host Wins Race Home To NYC

24 February 2009 11:57 PM, PST | From NYPost.com | See recent New York Post news

So what becomes a leg end most? Endurance. Even before rave re views of his Oscar-night hosting came in, Hugh Jackman was already outta there. Back to New York. While most of Hollywood stayed partying and BSing, Hugh was already on Delta's first flight Eastward Ho! The Return to Civilization.

Oscar's winning docu mentary short, "Smile Pinki," is about the work of the world's largest cleft charity, Smile Train. For the awards, Pinki, age 8, was imported from her thatched-roof mud home in India's now-famous slums. The Slumdog Millionaires all knew her. For Oscar night,

The Run-up To The Razzies

Cinema Retro columnist David Savage takes a look at Hollywood's most dubious career achievement.

.

Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls: the film that inspired Whoopi Goldberg to say she hadn't seen this many poles abused since WWII.

In the run-up to this year’s Razzie nominations, to be announced Wednesday, January 21st for 2008’s “honorees” for the worst achievements in moviemaking, the longlist buzz is already getting press. If it’s any indication, 2008 must have been a stink-bomb banner year for movies as it’s rare for the press to report on the worst movies of the year just-passed, before the nominations are even announced.

Among the films emerging as leading contenders for 2008’s gold-plated raspberry statuette -- always bestowed on the eve of the “other” gold-plated statuette ceremony -- are: The Love Guru, Mike Myers’ laughless Bollywood debacle; Speed Racer, Disaster Movie,

Review: "Bride Wars"

10 January 2009 12:45 AM, PST | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Seen on: January 9, 2009

The players: Director: Gary Winick, Writers: June Raphael, Casey Wilson, Cast: Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Candice Bergen, Kristen Johnston, Bryan Greenberg

Facts of interest: Winick also directed "13 Going On 30" and "Charlotte's Web."

The plot: Two friends go to war after their weddins are accidentally booked on the same day.

Our thoughts: Gary Winick’s latest comedy “Bride Wars” is undoubtedly the first big stinker of 2009. Neither funny nor entertaining, this painfully lame attempt at satirizing the wedding industry offers absolutely nothing but a boring feud between two incredibly stupid characters. Believe it or not, but these two bridezillas are a pain in the neck.

Kevin's Review: Bride Wars - Love is a Shallow Battlefield

9 January 2009 2:17 PM, PST | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

A wedding is usually one of the hardest passages a couple can expect to weather in a relationship. Having just gone through one myself, I can readily attest. But you don't expect that trial to hold true for best friends -- that is unless said friends plan simultaneous dream weddings at New York City's Plaza Hotel. Such is the premarital pickle confronting Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway) when wedding planner extraordinaire Marion St. Claire (Candice Bergen) manages to botch the bookings. While the ensuing shenanigans are fun at times, Bride Wars tries to craft meaning out of marzipan, creating a spectacle that is at best a saturated imitation, and through sugary cliché, all around bad for you. As children, BFFs Liv and Emma come across a wedding at the famed Plaza Hotel. Instantly, the fraternal hair twins marry the idea of nuptials like that for themselves one day.

Bride Wars

9 January 2009 9:00 AM, PST | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

Bride Wars Directed by: Gary Winick Cast: Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson, Candice Bergen, Steve Howey, Chris Pratt, Bryan Greenberg Running Time: 1 hr 25 min Rating: PG Plot: Two best friends (Hathaway, Hudson) are reduced to catty, girly warfare when their respective dream weddings are scheduled on the same day at the same, beloved venue. Who’s It For? Non-feminists, fans of Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson, and anyone who enjoyed Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. Expectations: I was pretty sure I had this movie pegged. I love Anne Hathaway; I love Kate Hudson; the previews were silly and harmless—cotton candy. Scorecard (0-10) Actors: Anne Hathaway as Emma: Anne Hathaway is fabulous no matter what she does—drama, comedy, dramedy…for her next project, I vote highbrow horror. With her soft doe eyes and her dainty little frame, you’d expect more timidity, but

Girl's Best Friend: 'Bride Wars'

Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway in Bride Wars

Photo: 20th Century Fox Sex. Self-worth. The jealousy of others. Your parent's disapproval. Again, the sex. However misled your intentions for getting your girlfriend, it's obvious that, to keep her, you gotta spend some time with her--and not just in the sack. So here is the weekly, one-stop guide to your girl's best friend (and the inner girl in you). This week's estrogen escape takes the cake: there are weddings, there are flowers, there is jewelry, spray tan, shopping -- and that's in the trailer alone! In short Bride Wars has it all. If you thought Kate Hudson couldn't pick a romantic comedy better than How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, oh my friend, you thought wrong! And if you thought you wouldn't have to see it...well, my friend...once again, negatory. Despite the fact that there are some five
