Tyneside 75, Newcastle upon Tyne
What better way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the cinematic medium than with a 75-hour film marathon? And what better value in the land can there be this weekend than 75p a film? The selection here has been chosen by cinemagoers, who were asked last year to vote on their favourite films of the past 75 years, so they're all movies you'd gladly watch again and again, from Annie Hall to Chasing Amy, The Princess Bride to The Great Dictator, Evil Dead II to The Third Man. The 75 hours is divided into 25 hours on each of the three screens, in case you were wondering. Being a marathon, some films still start at three in the morning. But come on! 75p!

How Paramount/Hasbro’s decision to delay G.I. Joe puts film fans last
24 May 2012 4:16 PM, PDT | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »
Film crews, film studios, and film fans have a necessarily symbiotic relationship. In the process of making a successful movie, artists of varied description come together to create a product, the studios market and distribute said product, and the fans (who are hopefully sufficiently enticed to see it) go see the final result, delivering a huge stream of cash that makes the crews and studios feel that all of their hard work was worthwhile. This is the way of things.

Cool Clicks: The Ten Best Wes Anderson Characters
24 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
We scour the interwebs for the coolest movie news and more so you don't have to ...
A Wes Anderson film wouldn't be a Wes Anderson film without the strange and wonderful denizens who inhabit Wes Anderson's world. Upon this week's release of "Moonrise Kingdom," Screen Junkies takes a look at the ten best players on the Anderson stage.
You know, we don't remember buying a house when we were only 19 years old. Zillow reports that "The Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson is growing up fast as he's purchased himself a happy home — and one previously owned by Heath Ledger, at that.
We would've preferred a live-action version starring Michael Keaton 'round 2020 or so, but that probably goes without saying. Still, an animated take of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" isn't a bad consolation prize — check out some choice Bat-pics from the upcoming film at the Hollywood Reporter. »

'Ishtar': Seven Myths Regarding The Legendary Flop
21 May 2012 10:49 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"If all of the people who hate 'Ishtar' had seen it, I would be a rich woman today." So said Elaine May in 2006, two decades after the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman comedy she wrote and directed had become synonymous with "extravagant flop." (The film grossed $14.4 million on a $55 million budget.) Up until May 22, 1987 (the day it opened in theaters, 25 years ago), advance buzz on "Ishtar" was contentious; it was either a brilliant comic masterpiece or a textbook case of overreach on the part of two giant Hollywood egos to whom no one could say, "No." After the film's release... same thing. To this day, the movie is roundly mocked for its alleged awfulness (often by people who've never seen it), while a passionate cult of fans insists it's a lost work of misunderstood genius that never got its proper due from critics or moviegoers. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. »

As 'Battleship' Flops: Ten Other Memorable Box-Office Bombs
21 May 2012 10:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
To have one giant money-losing tentpole is unfortunate. To have two starts to look careless, and that's what's happened to Taylor Kitsch. The actor, who broke out on TV's "Friday Night Lights," was seen as Hollywood's next great hope, picked out to star in two great big blockbusters with a combined cost of half-a-billion dollars. But when "John Carter" arrived in March, the film wildly underperformed, with Disney taking a hit of at least $100 million on the project. And after this weekend, it looks that his other film, "Battleship," is going to lose similar amounts.
The film, Universal & Hasbro's adaptation of the board game, directed by "Hancock" helmer Peter Berg, had taken the unusual step of opening everywhere else in the world six weeks ahead of the U.S, in the hope of bagging lucrative foreign coin and building buzz for the U.S. release. But while the film did ok abroad, »

Sacha Baron Cohen Is An Embarrassment At Parties
20 May 2012 4:11 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Sacha Baron Cohen prefers to turn up to celebrity events as one of his many comic characters - because he's an embarrassment when he arrives as himself.
The funnyman admits he's hopeless at parties and premieres when he doesn't have a beard or a moustache to hide behind - because he doesn't recognise his Hollywood peers.
He explains, "I don't really watch a lot of television or film, so I don't really recognise some of the faces.
"I went to one dinner recently with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening and a few other people around quite a small dinner table and... I turned to Annette Bening and said, 'You should have won an Oscar for The Kids Are All Right...' and she stared at me and she said, 'You don't know who I am, do you?' It was Diane Keaton.
"I was embarrassed. I didn't know what to say... so I just asked... 'What was it like to make love to Woody Allen?' She did get up and leave."
And Cohen dropped another clanger at a film premiere pal Jack Black invited him to.
He recalls, "He (Black) got up and spoke... and then this woman got up and spoke for a long time and I went (up) to him afterwards and he said, 'What did you think?' and I said, 'It was fine although some people were speaking for a long time, like the fat woman... with the huge breasts,' and he said, 'That's my mother!'"
His actress wife Isla Fisher is so tired of his slip-ups at social functions, she'd prefer he stays home: "She now tries to avoid going out of the house with me." »

These days, Hollywood's most familiar faces - from Leonardo DiCaprio to Kirsten Dunst to Angelina Jolie - bring their star power to the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival. But before them, glitz and glamour was defined by big-screen veterans such as Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood (pictured here in black-and-white nearly 20 years before she mysteriously drowned).

Warren Beatty's portrait of an American journalist who witnessed the October revolution in Russia in 1917 is everything a historian could want in a movie
Director: Warren Beatty
Entertainment grade: A–
History grade: A–
John Reed was an American journalist who witnessed the October revolution in Russia in 1917.
Sex
Earnest leftie Jack Reed (Warren Beatty) meets earnest leftie Louise Bryant (Diane Keaton) in Portland, Oregon, late in 1915. He impresses her with his thoughts on the profit motive in the first world war, somewhat anticipating Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, written a few months later. This was exactly the way to an earnest leftie's heart in the 1910s, and if only Reed had said something more specific about dialectical materialism it would probably have been pants off straight away. As it is, that takes them until the second date. "I'd like to see you with your pants off, Mr Reed, »

"You're So Vain" Redux w/ Johnny Depp
1 May 2012 8:01 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Did you hear that Johnny Depp is guesting on Marilyn Manson's new album? They've done a cover of Carly Simon's "You're So Vain" which is one of the first two songs (along with Toto's "Rosanna") that I ever understood were actually about screen stars. (I almost typed "actresses" on accident because Warren Beatty is one of the few actors that I respond to in the same heightened way I usually reserve for actresses). For me as a kid that was really exciting to realize, that people wrote songs about stars.. That's probably why one of my favorite Old Hollywood stories as a baby movie buff was how Judy Garland boosted her own nascent fame by reworking the popular song "You Made Me Love You" for Clark Gable at a Hollywood party. It went over so well they put it right into a movie.
Anyway, here's that cover.

Streisand's 80 guests enjoyed a traditional Greek meal of hummus dip, Greek salad, veal sausages, chicken Souvlaki and roast baby lamb.
"It was an intimate magical event with only very close friends, people I've known and loved for more than 20 years," Streisand said. "The highlight of the evening was my son's film that he made for me. People kept asking, 'Who is that singing?' And when I said it was Jason, everyone was blown away by the beauty and soulfulness of his voice. Quincy Jones wanted to sign him on the spot."

5 Things You May Not Know About Akira Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai'
26 April 2012 6:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Picking your favorite Akira Kurosawa film is a tricky choice for any movie fan. From "Rashomon" to "Ran," the great Japanese filmmaker, one of the most beloved and influential directors of all time, knocked out a string of classics in a career that lasted well over 40 years. But more often than not, at the top of the list for Kurosawa fans is "The Seven Samurai," the 1954 samurai epic that redefined the action movie for generations.
Following six samurai (and one pretender, iconically played by Toshiro Mifune) who are recruited by a village of farmers to protect them from bandits, it remains to this day one of the most stirring, thrilling adventures in cinema history, and landed Kurosawa firmly on the map in international cinema. The film was released in Japan 58 years ago today, on April 26th, 1954 (a U.S. release, heavily cut down, would follow 30 months later), and to mark the occasion, »

Like a Comic-Con in miniature, the Hero Complex Film Festival — held by The Los Angeles Times and hosted by lead Hero Complex writer Geoff Boucher — has quickly proven to be a great weekend for A-list geek-outs. In previous years, films like The Dark Knight, Alien, Dick Tracy, and Iron Man have screened at the festival, followed by Q&As with the top creative people behind the films, like Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Warren Beatty, and Jon Favreau (with surprise guest Robert Downey, Jr.).

That's right, folks. It's time for the 3rd Annual Hero Complex Film Festival, but this time it's coming about a month early in May rather than the previous June run the first two festivals had. Hero Complex is the fantastic blog on the La Times run by Geoff Boucher and last year he decided to host a mini-film fest to show some great movies with in-person Q&As featuring the director. Last year guests included Warren Beatty and a screening of Dick Tracy, not to mention writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman with a screening of Star Trek, and more. This year's full line-up looks pretty fun and the guests are even better! On Friday, May 18th, they're running a zombie double feature kicking things off with Dawn of the Dead featuring director Zack Snyder and "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman, then Shaun of the Dead featuring director Edgar Wright »

Jack Nicholson At 75: 5 Of His Most Underrated Performances
23 April 2012 7:56 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
There can be little doubt that Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest movie stars in the history of the medium. He's had more Oscar nominations (twelve) and wins (three) than any other actor and has been an A-list star for over forty years now, remaining a legitimate box office draw in films like "Something's Gotta Give" and "The Departed" even in his seventh decade. He's worked with everyone from Antonioni to Scorsese, and given some of the most iconic screen performances ever, from "Easy Rider" to "The Shining."
Indeed, ask a cinephile for their favorite Nicholson performance, and the same few films are likely to come up: "Easy Rider," "Five Easy Pieces," "Carnal Knowledge," "The Last Detail," "Chinatown," "The Passenger" (an amazing, nearly back-to-back six-year-run), "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," "The Shining." But this means that some of the actor's equally strong performances never quite made it into the canon, »

Jack Attack
22 April 2012 11:28 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Jack Nicholson is 75 years old today. He has only made 3 movies in the past eight years and his last great performance (About Schmidt) was a full decade past. His frequent absences would be a much greater loss to cinema if his current taste didn't lean more Bucket List and less Schmidt. But he has meant so much to so many moviegoers for so many decades that his big day is definitely worth celebrating.
So herewith ten random things off the top of my head that I love about Jack Nicholson... and it shouldn't surprise you that most of them involve his actress co-stars. That's not just because you're reading this at The Film Experience but because, for all of Jack's showboating style, he regularly ups the game of his leading ladies (and vice versa)
• "Dear Ndugu..." (About Schmidt)
• the fascinating and atypical restraint of his character work as Eugene O'Neill »
