Zachary Quinto: 'Playing Spock was about cultivating an inner life'
4 May 2013 4:13 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
It is no small matter to take on a role as iconic to a world of fans as Spock in the new Star Trek movies. But Zachary Quinto – one of Hollywood's few openly gay film stars – is a forceful presence, with clear ideas of where he'd like his work to lead
Zachary Quinto's eyebrows are a thing of wonder. They sit on his forehead like cat's tails, arching and twitching as he speaks, lending everything he says a subtle emphasis. After a few minutes in their company, you become quite mesmerised by their expressive movements. It's not inconceivable that Zachary Quinto's eyebrows could have a successful Hollywood career all of their own.
So it seems a pity that the role for which Quinto is best known, the role that catapulted him to major box-office success, required these follicular features to be partly removed, covered by heavy make-up and painstakingly reapplied, »

5 Surprising Personal Passion Projects of Legendary Directors
20 April 2013 11:08 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
There’s something inherently lonely and tortured about being a director. Yes, you’re the tyrant of the set and dictator of the vision, but you’re also the man (or woman) behind the curtain, the puppet master who never appears on stage….unless you’re Clint Eastwood or Quentin Tarantino. Or Alfred Hitchcock….or Roman Polanski…Anyway, the point is that you may be the genius behind a film, and celebrated as such, but you’re no superstar. There’s a reason why they are often referred to as voyeurs.
But the upside is that, once you’re an established money-maker, you can afford to be creative in your guises. That is, to put your dream on screen. Most directors have at some stage championed their baby, a cherished passion project which is their love letter to their craft. However, it’s quite galling how this endeavor often falls on deaf ears. »

Brett Ratner Bringing Unreleased Roman Polanski-Produced Racing Doc ‘Weekend Of A Champion’ To Netflix
1 March 2013 11:24 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With the success of “House of Cards” and the upcoming release of the fabled new season of “Arrested Development,” Netflix is taking dead aim at cable networks. While so far they've stuck with developing series, the streaming company has completed a deal with Brett Ratner -- a man with a questionable filmography and cinephile taste (he's produced docs on Woody Allen and John Cazale, Fyi) -- to bring interesting documentaries to a larger audience. The first movie to be part of the deal is the 1971 Roman Polanski-helmed documentary “Weekend Of A Champion.” Never heard of it? That may be because the film, which focuses on Formula 1 racing champion Jackie Stewart, never saw any kind of release in the United States. Produced after “Rosemary’s Baby” and a couple of years before “Chinatown,” this forgotten piece of his filmography occurred at the height of the filmmaker’s powers and follows »

Greatest Heist Partners
17 February 2013 2:01 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
The knack to pulling off any great heist, on the silver screen or otherwise, is forward planning. You’ve got to work the angles, visualise the entry, rehearse the execution and, most importantly, plan for disaster. Now, I don’t know about you, but that seems like a lot to get sorted out in your own head – surely that’s why there are so many great cinematic heist partnerships!
To celebrate the impending release of Robot and Frank, the story of a retired jewel-thief and his relationship with a highly-intelligent robot sidekick, we’ve rifled through the films of the ages and bagged ourselves some of cinema’s greatest heist partnerships.
Charlie Croker and Mr Bridger – Michael Caine and Noel Coward – The Italian Job
In our opinion, all the best heists are crimes of revenge, and what greater revenge than on those suspected of causing your best friend’s death? »

The Oscar for most criminally ignored performances by the Academy - Actor Nominations
10 February 2013 11:34 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Tom Jolliffe on the male acting performances criminally overlooked by the Academy for Oscar recognition...
With the Oscars around the corner and awards season in full swing, now is a perfect opportunity to tearfully remember those performances that were completely overlooked by the Academy. Reasons can differ. Sometimes a year is bloated with exceptional performances and competition is high. Sometimes a film's impact doesn’t strike instantly and takes years before it finally clicks with audiences. There are certain film subjects that are Oscar catnip, and others which rub against the grain of what is fashionable amongst the voters. There are almost always head-scratching inclusions and exclusions. It’s hard to know which films of a year, and which performances will live long in the memory and which will fade away.
Here are a few actors I humbly believe gave performances good enough to warrant nominations (lead or supporting) for »

Merry New Year! Here's Ten New Year's Movie Scenes to Help Ring in 2013
1 January 2013 8:30 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Happy New Year! We survived the Mayan apocalypse and the gods have granted us news of a baby from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to celebrate. Will it be named Khrist? Konstantinople? Kompassion? Maybe Bluer Ivy? One can only speculate, and the same goes for what wonders 2013 will behold. Considering this is a movie website I figured there would be no better way to ring in the new year with a selection of ten screen captures from movies you're sure to recognize along with the famous lines that accompany them. Many I'm sure you expect, but hopefully a couple are a surprise and perhaps will even provoke you to give one of them a watch. Either way, Happy New Year!
