Titanic Box Office: Behind The Hunger Games
5 April 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
James Cameron's Titanic movie Titanic 3D was the no. 2 movie on the domestic box-office chart on Wednesday, April 4, according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. Directed by the Marianas Trench's James Cameron, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, Titanic 3D collected $4.37 million at 2,674 theaters, landing right behind The Hunger Games' $4.6 million at 4,137 locations. Comparisons are hard to make. The Hunger Games is in 2D, which means cheaper movie ticket prices, but it's playing at 1,500 more theaters than Titanic 3D. The Hunger Games has also been around for 13 days; Titanic 3D opened on Tuesday, earning approximately $325,000 at various preview screenings. Directed by Gary Ross, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson. At no. 3, Jonathan Liebesman / Sam Worthington / Ralph Fiennes' Wrath of the Titans grossed $2.25 million, followed by Julia Roberts / Armie Hammer / Lily Collins' Mirror Mirror with $1.66 million and Channing Tatum »

The Films Of Billy Wilder: A Retrospective
27 March 2012 1:44 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
"I want to thank three persons,” said Michel Hazanavicius, accepting the 2012 Best Picture Oscar for “The Artist.” “I want to thank Billy Wilder, I want to thank Billy Wilder and I want to thank Billy Wilder.” He wasn’t the first director to namecheck Wilder in an acceptance speech. In 1994, Fernando Trueba, accepting the Foreign Language Film Oscar for "Belle Epoque" quipped, "I would like to believe in God in order to thank him. But I just believe in Billy Wilder... so, thank you Mr. Wilder." Wilder reportedly called the next day "Fernando? It's God."
So just what exactly was it that inspired these men to expend some of the most valuable seconds of speechifying airtime they'll ever know, to tip their hats to Wilder? And can we bottle it?
Born in a region of Austria/Hungary that is now part of Poland, Wilder's story feels like an archetype of »

Sexy Without Trying

Photo: Universal Studios Home Entertainment It was announced late yesterday that Scarlett Johansson will be playing Janet Leigh in Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho directed by Sacha Gervasi (Anvil! The Story of Anvil). Fine. Whatever. I'm sure we'll see a recreation of the iconic shower scene and I hope, at the very least, there will be a scene dedicated to the conversation between Hitchcock and screenwriter Joseph Stefano with Stefano urging Hitchcock to show the flushing toilet. Yeah, that would be a highlight for me. Along with Johansson, James D'Arcy has been added to the cast as Anthony Perkins and the two join Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren who will play Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville respectively. The story is said to center on the relationship between Hitch and Alma as he sets about making what has become one of the most iconic horror movies of all time. »

Oscar's 13 Biggest Mistakes
20 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For every winner who leaps up to thank the Academy, at least four nominees stay behind -- and with them, countless audience members wondering why their favorites failed to snag the big award. But there are times when everyone -- maybe even the winner -- believes the wrong name was read and the Oscar should have gone to... someone else.
We've picked 13 unlucky times the Academy made a huge, irreversible mistake, whether out of misguided loyalty to an actor-turned-director, fear of bestowing the Oscar to a violent or controversial film, or for no discernible reason at all (in no particular order).
'Ordinary People' Over 'Raging Bull' (Best Picture, 1980)
Robert Redford's family drama beat Martin Scorsese's sweeping boxing epic in a decision that still leaves Oscar buffs shaking their heads in confusion. "Ordinary People" was a fine study of familial dysfunction, but its popularity arose »

Greer Garson, Joan Crawford: Deceased Honorary Oscar-less
17 February 2012 4:01 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Walter Pidgeon, Greer Garson in William Wyler's Mrs. Miniver Honorary Oscars and Women Pt.2: Doris Day, Danielle Darrieux, Joan Fontaine, Maureen O'Hara On the list of film industry women who have yet to receive an Honorary Award, I did not include Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Taylor, Maggie Smith, Glenda Jackson, Luise Rainer, Jane Fonda, Meryl Streep, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, and Jessica Lange because each of them has already won two acting awards. Barbara Kopple, Thelma Schoonmaker, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, for their part, have each already won two Oscars for, respectively, documentary feature, film editing, and screenwriting. Barbra Streisand, I should note, has also won two Oscars; the second one, however, was as co-composer (with Paul Williams) of the song "Evergreen" from A Star Is Born. Only someone like Elia Kazan — i.e., with friends in high Academy places — can have two Academy Award wins in a »

Elizabeth Hartman and Sidney Poitier in A Patch of Blue (1965)
Look, I can't help it: The Oscars rule. I care about them. I refuse to stop thinking about them. And if you read snicks' recent Oscar snubs piece, you'd refuse too. If you love entertainment, glamor, and winning, you simply have to love the Oscars. And Project Runway. But hey, back to the Oscars! Even the biggest Oscarphiles can stand to know more about the precious gold statuette, and I'm willing to bet most of you don't know about these five nominees, actresses who've faded from public consciousness. Let's revisit the weird and wild catacombs of the Academy's most fascinating forgotten ladies, shall we?

The ‘Blue Velvet’ Project, #66

The frame within the frame.
Jeffrey, on his way out of Dorothy’s apartment, stops and retrieves from beneath the couch the framed black and white photo of Don and Donny that Dorothy had gazed at immediately after Frank’s call. A fury of angles and lines, rectangles within rectangles. The frozen image captures a moment in time, while what transpires on the screen (no matter how many years have passed since Blue Velvet was filmed) happens right now.
Seymour Chatman, in Story and Discourse, writes about still time and moving time on the screen:
The effect of pure description only seems to occur when the film actually ‘stops,’ in the so-called ‘freeze-frame’ effect (the projector continues, but all the frames show exactly the same image. An example in Joseph Mankiewicz’s All About Eve: at the moment that Eve (Anne Baxter) is offered a coveted theatrical award, »
