Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 2 of 5)
24 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Oliver Reed as Athos in The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973/1974, UK):
These films were actually shot all at once but ultimately released as two separate films telling one long story. As the musketeer with a dark past, Oliver Reed provides a lot of the heart and soul in these very entertaining and well-made films. Technically, since we have to isolate one film for our fantasy nomination, it would be The Four Musketeers as his role is more prominent in that film. Reed’s reunion scene with Faye Dunaway’s Milady is superb as is Reed’s intense swordplay with an array of opponents including Christopher Lee. An underrated actor whose career was damaged by well-documented alcohol problems and notorious off-screen behavior, Reed still logged in some truly incredible acting performances over the course of his career. His portrayal of Athos is definitely one of them.

James Bond Retrospective: Octopussy (1983)
15 May 2012 3:15 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
To mark the 50th Anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time and with filming almost complete on James Bond’s 23rd official outing in Skyfall due for release later this year, I have been tasked with taking a retrospective look at the films that turned author Ian Fleming’s creation into one of the most recognised and iconic characters in film history.
For Octopussy, the thirteenth official James Bond film, 1983 proved to be rather unlucky. After a lengthy court battle with the co-writer of Thunderball, Kevin McClory, Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions had lost the right to use Bond’s nemesis Blofeld and his organisation Spectre in any of their films. McClory had been trying since 1974 to get his own rival Bond film made but due to a lack of financial backing and legal action from United Artists and the Fleming Trustees his project »

Kristen Stewart and Thor battle in pretty new 'Snow White and the Huntsman' photos
11 May 2012 3:27 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
One of the most anticipated films of the summer is Rupert Sanders' "Snow White and the Huntsman." Besides the fact it looks absolutely stunning, features Kristen Stewart kicking (expletive) and appears to feature Charlize Theron channeling Faye Dunaway right out of "Mommie Dearest," it also is the third new film from the increasingly talented Chris Hemsworth over the past three months. You may have heard critics and HitFix wax about "The Cabin in the Woods" and then there is this little indie flick called "The Avengers" that opened last weekend. "Snow White" rounds out the first half trifecta for Hemsworth. Universal Pictures released some new and »

15 Twitter Users Worth Following, From Absurd Actresses to Great Gays
10 May 2012 1:10 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
I always roll my eyes when people claim Twitter is a meritocracy. Sure, tweeters with consistently funny tweets tend to win followers faster, but more often than not, Twitter follower counts are about connections, not content. Today I'm pointing you to 15 of the hilarious, interesting, and sometimes mystifying celebrity accounts that I find myself thinking about most. (I hope to more of these Twitter roll calls in the future -- you shouldn't only be following Ashton Kutcher and his cronies!) We'll start with the nuttiest dame in Oscar history; she has under 3,100 followers!
Everything Faye Dunaway tweets is an unsettling riddle. Get into her game.
I don't like to skip steps.

Roman Polanski Movie: D (The Dreyfus Affair)
9 May 2012 5:46 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Roman Polanski‘s next movie will be D, described as a political thriller based on the infamous Dreyfus Affair. Polanski (photo), 79 next August 18, will once again work with The Ghost Writer‘s novelist / screenwriter Robert Harris. The Dreyfus Affair revolved around French army captain Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish man who was sentenced to life in prison for passing military secrets to the Germans in 1894. Though eventually proven innocent, Dreyfus languished for several years in solitary confinement on Devil’s Island. Partly as a result of the efforts of progressive novelist Émile Zola and others outraged by widespread corruption and bigotry within the ranks of France’s military establishment, Dreyfus was pardoned in 1899. Seven years later, he was officially exonerated of all charges. "I have long wanted to make a film about the Dreyfus Affair, treating it not as a costume drama but as a spy story,” Polanski was quoted as saying in a statement. »

'The Thomas Crown Affair': A Look Back At The Classic Caper
9 May 2012 2:44 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
"The Thomas Crown Affair" was one of the most stylish movies of the 1960s -- stylish for the icy cool of Steve McQueen as the millionaire who robs banks for kicks; for the similarly frosty cool of Faye Dunaway as the investigator who plays an erotic game of cat-and-mouse with him; for the costumes of Theadora Van Runkle, who helped make Dunaway a fashion trendsetter in "Bonnie and Clyde" and did the same for her here with no fewer than 29 haute-couture outfits; for the jazzy score of Michel Legrand, including the Oscar-winning ballad "The Windmills of Your Mind"; and for the camera trickery of director Norman Jewison, the first Hollywood filmmaker to shoot heist scenes and love scenes in split-screen. The 1968 caper flick was a favorite of both McQueen and Dunaway, as well as of moviegoers, many of whom prefer it to the similarly slick 1999 remake that starred Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. »

10 Best Bad Movies for Gay Summer Viewing
3 May 2012 12:05 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Once upon a time I wrote a column called "Bad Movies We Love," and I feel close enough to you to admit that -- actually? -- I don't love bad movies. I would rather watch something good, weirdly. I'm sensitive when it comes to reserving time for woefully bad cinema, and that's why I want to help kick off your summer with the essential gay stinkbombs. Summer is the best time to gather your friends at 11 a.m. on a Saturday, gather around the thespian sorcery of Elizabeth Berkley, and cry, cry, and laugh until you're whole. Let's celebrate the worst of the best of the worst!
10. Chastity
Though not as renowned a misfire as the later totems on my list, Chastity is one of the weirdest film debuts ever -- particularly for a splashy firebrand like Cher -- and therefore it's essential viewing. More than a full decade before »

Chinatown and To Catch A Thief Blu-ray Reviews
20 April 2012 9:28 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Paramount is good about releasing classics on Blu-ray from time to time, and their latest batch offers one of the greatest films of all time, and an entertaining minor work by a master director. Chinatown is Roman Polanski’s masterpiece. It stars Jack Nicholson as a private dick assigned to find out about an affair that uncovers statewide corruption in California. Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief offers Cary Grant and Grace Kelly on the Riviera in beautiful Vista-vision. Both are definitely worth checking out on Blu-ray (if not purchased immediately) and our reviews of both follow after the jump. In Chinatown, J.J. Gities (Nicholson) is a Los Angeles detective who mostly handles infidelity cases. He’s hired by Evelyn Mulray to check in on her husband Hollis who runs the Water department and spends most of his days checking out the reservoirs. Photos are taken of Hollis with a woman, »

The Complex Presents: The Ten Most Dangerous Broads In Film
18 April 2012 10:18 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
It’s Ladies’ Night at the Complex.
We’ve covered a pretty broad spectrum of shady characters over the past few months around here, but with Mother’s Day coming up in a few weeks, we felt it entirely appropriate to tip our collective hats to all the wonderful women that keep us under a thin layer of sweat. Presenting the ten meanest, craziest, and most scandalous chicks to ever set the screen on fire.
Alert: Spoilers abound.
10. Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway, Mommie Dearest, 1981)
Mean broads aren’t all fictional. Believe it or not, there are real live firebreathing witches that walk the very terra firma upon which you stand. So tread lightly, my friend.
Joan Crawford’s reputation as a mean old bag was no secret in 1981 when Mommie Dearest hit the screen. However, it took Faye Dunaway channeling her maniacal soul to really get the message across to the movie-going public. »

Actor Askew Dead At 80
13 April 2012 9:01 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Character actor Luke Askew has passed away at the age of 80.
He died at his Lake Oswego, Oregon home after a long battle with ill health on 29 March.
Francis Luke Askew first attended the University of Georgia and honed his acting skills in several Off-Broadway plays.
He later made his feature film debut alongside Michael Caine and Faye Dunaway in Hurry Sundown and he subsequently played a sadistic prison guard in Paul Newman's Cool Hand Luke.
He also took on the role of Sergeant Provo in John Wayne's The Green Berets but Askew is perhaps best known for portraying the wayward stranger who led Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper to a hippie commune in 1969 classic Easy Rider.
Askew additionally appeared in several hit TV shows throughout his career, including Walker, Texas Ranger, MacGyver, The Six Million Dollar Man, Everwood, and most recently Big Love. »

10 April 2012 12:40 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Psych" is wrapping up its sixth season with "SantaBarbaratown," the show's send-up of film noir, specifically the 1974 Jack Nicholson-Faye Dunaway mystery "Chinatown." We've seen it and it's awesome, so here are five teases to tide you over until Wednesday night.
The guest stars are excellent - Rob Estes is a suspect, Lolita Davidovich is a spurned waitress and Amanda Schull is outstanding as a blonde femme fatale who seems to be hiding an awful lot.Keep your eye out for the "Chinatown" references - Robert Towne was the screenwriter, Ida Sessions was a character, oh, and ... there's a pretty key plot point that is creatively used.We find out what Shawn carries around in his wallet - it's a picture of a blonde woman, but it's not Jules.Speaking of Jules, she and Shawn take (for Shawn) a giant leap forward in their relationship this episode.

Blu-ray Review: Fantastic Release for Timeless Classic ‘Chinatown’
9 April 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – There are a few movies that I absolutely adore — the ones that come to mind when people ask me what I think are the best films ever made. More often than not, they are the films that first shaped the way I look at cinema when I first moved past the New Releases section at the video store to the classics of the medium. One such film is Roman Polanski’s stunning “Chinatown,” a film that has lost absolutely none of its timeless power in its recently-released Blu-ray restoration complete with new special features and interviews. It may sound cliched, but “Chinatown,” especially in HD, really looks like it could have come out last year. And it would have been the year’s best movie.
Rating: 5.0/5.0
The Blu-ray arrival of “Chinatown” is not just ushered in with the quality of the film itself or a spectacular HD transfer but »

Chinatown Blu-ray Review
7 April 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Chinatown, Roman Polanski's 1974 film Noir classic, is a seminal film for a number of reasons.
It wasn't the movie that introduced the world to Jack Nicholson by any means, but it was the movie where we all learned that he was one of the greatest actors ever to grace the screen. It single-handedly redefined the private-eye mystery. It provided profound depth and grit to the genre and left it irrevocably changed.
It is, in short, an absolute masterpiece.
The standard way to describe it would be to say that there has been no movie like it before or since, but I can think of two very unlikely films to which to compare Chinatown. In much the same way that Christopher Nolan's Batman films have a way of convincing an audience that the goings-on in the film are realistic despite being nothing remotely resembling reality, Chinatown pulls the same cinematic magic trick. »

5 April DVD Titles You Should Know About, Including 'Chinatown,' 'A Trip To The Moon' & 'Girl On A Motorcycle'
4 April 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the future of home entertainment may be rapidly moving towards a digital streaming-led future, we can't be the only movie nerds who still love owning a physical copy of something. Sure, BluRay and DVD might be scratchable, easily lost and adorned by terrible box art, but there's something about the feeling of finding an undiscovered gem in the depths of a store, or getting a rarity in the post, that doesn't quite compare to clicking and watching something on Netflix.
As such, starting with this column, every month we're going to pick out five BluRays or DVDs new to the market that no self-respecting cinephile's shelves could do without. Some are shiny new versions of stone-cold classics, some are obscurities, some might even be brand new releases (although less often: those are covered pretty well elsewhere). Read on for more.
