Huh? Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand to Star in Movie?
1 July 2009 3:06 PM, PDT | From Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news
That Seth Rogen is one busy dude! Now, our friends at hitflix.com are saying there's a road comedy being planned to star Rogen and Barbra Streisand!
Now for those folks doubting Streisand's talent for comedy, look no further than "Meet the Fockers" or any of her old Peter Bogdanovich flicks. Streisand has great timing!
So the film that the two are supposed to be in talks for is called "Mother's Curse" and it has a strong possibility of getting made.
Hitflix is saying:
I know that they're still working on the script to this one, and there may be more rewrites ahead in the near future. When I asked Seth about the film, he referred to it as "one of the many projects I may or may not do in the next fifteen years," which is a fair description. So keep in mind... I'm not saying this will or won't happen.

Farrah Fawcett, 1947-2009 (Rip)
25 June 2009 1:17 PM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
Somewhere you can hear Charlie's disembodied voice weeping for an Angel passing. I mean that in the kindest non-snarkiest way in case anyone misreads. If you lived through the 70s or 80s you will undoubtedly have at least a small place in your heart for the seminal Charlie's Angels cast and probably Farrah Fawcett in particular. She got the most mileage from the show, career wise, probably by exiting it so very quickly. Smart girl. I preferred Jaclyn Smith as a child and then Cheryl Ladd but now in retrospect I'm totally a Kate Jackson man. Yet through it all, personal preferences aside, it was Farrah who emerged as the true superstar among them.
She died this morning at 62, losing her long battle with cancer.
Farrah provided me with my first fully conscious ideas about the divide between TV stars and Movie Stars: TV stars were part of the fabric of every day life,

Love is Undying in new supernatural film
15 June 2009 8:21 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
Director Steven Peros sent along some info and a bunch of exclusive photos (see them below), from The Undying, his new supernatural film from Roscommon Pictures. Peros, best known for scripting Peter Bogdanovich’s Kirsten Dunst-starrer The Cat’S Meow from his own play, also wrote Undying with producer David M. Flynn.
Robin Weigert (first photo, with Paul David Story), who nabbed an Emmy nomination for playing Calamity Jane in HBO’s acclaimed series Deadwood, stars as Dr. Barbara Houghton, who moves into a rural Pennsylvania farmhouse as she starts a job at a hospital. Still reeling from the death of her fiancé, she becomes intrigued by the story of Elijah, a Civil War soldier whose ghost supposedly haunts her new home. When Jason (Anthony Carrigan, second photo), a stabbing victim she has treated, is taken off life support, she steals his body and takes it to the farmhouse,

Shall we gather at the river?
11 June 2009 1:11 PM, PDT | From blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news
The first time I saw him, he was striding toward me out of the burning Georgia sun, as helicopters landed behind him. His face was tanned a deep brown. He was wearing a combat helmet, an ammo belt, carrying a rifle, had a canteen on his hip, stood six feet four inches. He stuck out his hand and said, "John Wayne." That was not necessary.
John Wayne died 30 years ago on June 11. Stomach cancer. "The Big C," he called it. He had lived for quite a while on one lung, and then the Big C came back. He was near death and he knew it when he walked out on stage at the 1979 Academy Awards to present Best Picture to "The Deer Hunter," a film he wouldn't have made. He looked frail, but he planted himself there and sounded like John Wayne.

DVD Round Up, May 27, 2009: ‘Eden Log,’ ‘El Dorado,’ ‘Yonkers Joe’
27 May 2009 11:57 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news
Chicago – Welcome back to the Round-Up, a safety net to catch the DVD titles that fell off the mainstream tightrope. The titles this week have virtually nothing in common other than coming in two waves from two studios - a pair of classics from Paramount’s Centennial Collection and a trio of indie films from the great Magnolia Pictures.
All five titles were released on May 19th, 2009.
“Centennial Collection #8: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”
Photo credit: Paramount Synopsis: “”This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Behind the camera? John Ford, a director whose name is synonymous with “Westerns.” Gathered in front of it? An ideal cast – James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles and Lee Marvin. Now presented on two discs, with all-new special features, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance rides into town as classic entry in the Paramount Centennial Collection.

[DVD Review] El Dorado: The Centennial Collection
21 May 2009 3:13 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news
I'm not the biggest fan of Westerns; in fact the last Western I really, truly loved was The Proposition, which was penned by Nick Cave - yes, that Nick Cave - and it was much more highly stylized than the "classic" Westerns we are familiar with. With El Dorado, Howard Hawks carries out a film that is more along the lines of a traditional Western, and makes it appealing even to a lukewarm Western fan like myself.
El Dorado stars cinematic legends John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, with Wayne exuding cool as effortlessly and nonchalantly as Michael Pitt does creepiness. The two play old friends Cole and J.P, the former being a well-known gunslinger and the latter being the sheriff of the eponymous town. The film begins with Cole stopping by El Dorado for a brief reunion before heading to a ranch to help a man named Bart Jason

DVD’s I Bought This Week: May 19th
19 May 2009 9:37 AM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves taking pictures of people in uncompromising positions and situations. These two joys come together in the form of blackmail payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVD's. So join us each week as Rob takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs. Click on any of the titles below to magically head over to Amazon.com and pick up the DVD. El Dorado Pitch: For those of you who don't believe it's possible for a remake to (almost) equal the original. Why Buy? Yes, I know this isn't technically a remake of Rio Bravo, but it's pretty damn close. It's also a damn fine film in it's own right. This is one of two new additions to Paramount's Centennial

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.

The Long Goodbye: Elliott Gould Remembers Robert Altman
10 May 2009 2:01 PM, PDT | From The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news
(Elliott Gould, above, as Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye.)
by Jon Zelazny
Editor’s note: this article originally appeared at EightMillionStories.com on November 14, 2008.
With the back-to-back success of his Oscar-nominated role in the off-beat wife-swapping hit Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) and the even bigger off-beat hit Mash (1970), Brooklyn’s own Elliott Gould skyrocketed to worldwide fame.
While perhaps best known to those under 40 as Ross and Monica’s dad on “Friends,” or Vegas financier Reuben Tishkoff in the blockbuster Ocean’s 11 series, cine-scholars generally regard Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye (1973) as Gould’s most iconic starring role. 2008 marks the 35th anniversary of their extraordinary modern-day reinterpretation of Raymond Chandler’s classic private eye, Philip Marlowe.
Elliott Gould invited me to his home in west Los Angeles, where he generously spoke at length of his three major collaborations with Altman, who passed away two years ago.

Q&A - Director Peter Bogdanovich Finally Gets Five Minutes of His Movie Back
6 May 2009 10:11 AM, PDT | From amctv.com - Exclusive Interviews | See recent amctv.com - Exclusive Interviews news
There are directors who have experienced spectacular rises and equally spectacular falls, but some -- like Peter Bogdanovich -- have pulled off the trickier task of enduring, withstanding success and failure while still producing new work as their older triumphs grow in stature. His 1971 debut The Last Picture Show and 1976's Nickelodeon, were made available Apr. 21 on a new double-feature DVD. The director spoke with AMC News about

Movies that are made for forever
2 May 2009 4:38 PM, PDT | From blogs.suntimes.com/ebert | See recent Roger Ebert's Blog news
I have feelings more than ideas. I am tired, but very happy. My 11th annual film festival has just wrapped at the Virginia Theater in my home town, and what I can say is, it worked. There is no such thing as the best year or the worst year. But there is such a thing as a festival where every single film seemed to connect strongly with the audience. Sitting in the back row, seeing these films another time, sensing the audience response, I thought: Yes, these films are more than good, and this audience is a gathering of people who feel that.
Let me tell you about the last afternoon, the screening of a newly restored 70mm print of "Baraka." The 1,600 seats of the main floor and balcony were very nearly filled. The movie exists of about 96 minutes of images, music and sound. Nothing else. No narration. No subtitles.

[DVD Review] The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

12.00 Normal 0 false false false En-us X-none X-none MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 When at the tender age of just twenty-six Orsen Welles delivered Citizen Kane, a groundbreaking piece of cinema both technically and thematically that has served as a benchmark ever since, people were understandably curious as to how he'd managed to accomplish it. His reply was his strikingly simple: "I studied the greats: John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford."
Prolific, innovative, and famed for his commanding yet eccentric directorial style, John Ford is widely regarded as one of the great masters of American cinema. But it is within the genre of the western (where his best work genuinely does reside) that he is best remembered and will always remain as a true icon. Famed for his now legendary vistas and location shooting where he displayed an eye for landscape that would rival the greatest canvas artists, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

DVD: Review: Nickelodeon

Peter Bogdanovich’s Nickelodeon—which has just received a long-overdue DVD release featuring both its color theatrical version and a far superior black-and-white “director’s cut”—begins with Ryan O’Neal’s milquetoast lawyer intentionally losing a case, then racing out of the courtroom one step ahead of his enraged, corpulent client in a slapstick chase so goofy and over-the-top that it seems inevitable that the director will pull back to expose the shenanigans as a film within a film. Bogdanovich never does. Even more astonishingly, the opening sequences were inspired by the real-life exploits of legendary director Leo McCarey ...

DVD: Review: Irreconcilable Differences
21 April 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | From avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news
In a groaningly meta moment in the 1984 comedy Irreconcilable Differences, Rex Reed tells his audience that one character’s early success as a movie-mad auteur placed him in the rarified ranks of Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Bogdanovich, high atop the Hollywood food chain. The moment is heavy in irony, as the character—played by Ryan O’Neal—is essentially Bogdanovich, who directed O’Neal in three films, and Differences is a fictionalized take on the marriage and divorce of Bogdanovich and ex-wife/collaborator Polly Platt. Though it was marketed as a comedy about a doe-eyed moppet (Drew Barrymore ...

Milk (Universal) Sean Penn deservedly captured his second Best Actor Oscar (and Dustin Lance Black a statuette for his original screenplay) in director Gus Van Sant’s portrait of San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to hold public office in the U.S. Alternately heartbreaking, infuriating and very funny, a film that both captures a bygone era and is still very timely. Fine support from Josh Brolin, Victor Garber, James Franco and Emile Hirsch. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Three featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.
Slumdog Millionaire (20th Century Fox) The Best Picture of 2008 is a kinetic, clever audience-pleaser about a determined lad (Dev Patel) from the slums of Mumbai, who has his chance at literal and financial redemption as a contestant on India’s version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Are Movies Better the Second Time?
8 April 2009 8:02 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Have you ever dismissed a movie as an unmitigated piece of junk, and then seen it a second time and thought, "That wasn't so bad"? Xan Brooks in The Guardian raises the question: "Who's at fault if a film fails on a first viewing and succeeds on the second? The viewer, the film-maker, or the tangled, criss-crossing dialogue between the two?"
He notes the turn-around he experienced with the Chilean drama Tony Manero, which is due for Us release shortly. and admits that he is "nagged by the suspicion that there may be many other films in need of hasty reappraisal." The influential film critic Pauline Kael famously said she never watched a movie more than once, but Newsweek film critic Joe Morgenstern completed changed his mind about Bonnie and Clyde after describing it as a "squalid shoot-em-up for the moron trade."
