All The Songs In 'We Bought A Zoo' (Yes, That Was Temple Of The Dog You Heard)
30 December 2011 7:08 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While audiences seemed cool on the idea of Matt Damon hanging out with a bunch of animals in "We Bought A Zoo" (Vulture has a few pretty good theories on why that happened) they've been missing out a movie that has more heart than you might expect, and keeps the twee factor surprisingly dialed down. And being a Cameron Crowe film, he can't help but curate yet another mostly solid selection of songs, though it's not without a couple of headscratching choices. The Uncool has dropped the full list of songs that appear in the film, and some very familiar names are among the rost. Crowe continues to root through his vinyl collection from back in the day, picking up tunes from Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Neil Young, while also showing some soul with tunes from The Upsetters and Otis Rush. But the director also has a big alternative »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Velvet Goldmine’ Sparkles Brighter Than Ever on Blu-ray
28 December 2011 6:20 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Similar in style, structure and ambition to his 2007 kaleidoscopic portrait of Bob Dylan, “I’m Not There,” Todd Haynes’s 1998 effort “Velvet Goldmine,” takes a hallucinogenic trip through the ’70s glam rock period reigned over by David Bowie. Yet instead of centering his tale on Bowie, Haynes explores the era’s impact through the eyes of a haunted observer.
The film is less dramatically satisfying but far more interesting than a straightforward biopic. Jonathan Rhys Meyers’s striking features fit perfectly into the role of Bowie clone Brian Slade, but he remains an enigmatic object of interest and desire throughout the picture. That’s because his life is viewed solely through the perspective of others, as investigative reporter Arthur (Christian Bale) attempts to piece together the mystery of Slade’s whereabouts ten years after the singer faked his own death onstage.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
On a superficial level, “Goldmine” borrows the formula of “Citizen Kane, »

Michael Jackson's Estate To Pay Up
19 December 2011 12:11 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles — A judge approved a pay bump Monday for the executors of Michael Jackson's estate who turned the debt-ridden singer's portfolio into a business that has earned hundreds of millions of dollars since his death.
Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff allowed attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain to bill the estate separately for their professional services, which include entertainment-related legal counsel and use of a recording studio founded by Marvin Gaye.
Attorneys for Branca and McClain sought the change, saying the executors spend an increasing amount of time on Jackson's estate and have been paying legal expenses to Branca's firm out of their share of the earnings.
The men agreed in February 2010 to accept 10 percent of the gross entertainment-related earnings of the estate, minus money generated by Jackson's 50 percent interest in the Sony-atv music catalog and earnings from "This Is It," a film compiled from the singer's final rehearsals. »

Margaret Cho: I Was Once Kim Jong Il

Kim Jong Il is dead, and the confirmation of this is something I had been waiting for, as I have long suspected that he had actually died years ago, and that the miracle of Photoshop and an outsourced Hollywood publicist had kept him alive, rather than heart and lung machines. We had no way of truly knowing. There is no way of knowing what happens in North Korea and what doesn’t.
What happens in North Korea stays in North Korea. »

Alice Cooper On Life, Music And The Night He Almost Murdered Elvis
13 December 2011 8:02 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Erie, Pa. -- Master of macabre Alice Cooper did not disappoint metal fans here last weekend during the latest stop on his No More Mr. Nice Guy tour. The veteran shock-rocker captivated the near-capacity crowd and proved his continued relevance as a heavy metal entertainer.
Cooper took to the stage Saturday night after an introduction by the late Vincent Price echoed through the French Renaissance-style Warner Theatre. The showman extraordinaire lived up to his reputation when he made his entrance dressed in a spider costume on a pulpit high above the crowd.
At 63 years old, Cooper's vocals sounded great throughout the evening. The rock ghoul managed to keep the audience amped up for more than an hour. Cooper changed costumes and other accessories at least a dozen times during the 21-song set, which began with "The Black Widow" and ended with the hit songs "I Love The Dead," "School's Out" and "Elected. »

Christine Vachon Reflects on 'Velvet Goldmine,' Our Blu-ray Pick of the Week
13 December 2011 7:25 AM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Todd Haynes is nothing if not versatile. He made his name in 1991 with his Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner "Poison," a highly stylized queer activist hybrid told in three unconnected strands. He's directed only five more projects, but each has been more ambitious and unexpected than the last. Before exploring the mythology of Bob Dylan in "I'm Not There" and paying tribute to Douglas Sirk with "Far From Heaven," Haynes made "Velvet Goldmine," a passionate and messy love letter to the 1970s glam rock era. The 1998 film, starring Christian Bale, Ewan McGregor, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Toni Collette, world premiered to rave notices in Cannes where it netted a Special Jury Award. However, it failed to translate that early hype into critical praise and box office success stateside where it opened to lukewarm reviews and tepid grosses. Nevertheless, "Velvet Goldmine" has gone on to garner its own fanbase over the »

Ke$$ha records Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright' - video

Ke$$ha has covered a Bob Dylan classic for an upcoming charity album. The singer has recorded a rendition of 'Don't Think Twice, It's Alright' for Amnesty International's Chimes of Freedom record, which will feature 76 covers from Dylan's collection. Ke$$ha told Rolling Stone: "I didn't want this to sound like a pop version of a Bob Dylan song. That's the last thing I wanted this to sound like." The 24-year-old planned to record a different interpretation of the song, which dealt with a female suicide note. However, the lyrics took on a personal meaning for the performer as she became emotional while singing in the recording booth. "There were particular lyrics in the song that you can just tell, once they came out of my mouth - the emotion caught up with me and I just started weeping," (more) »

More than 70 artists, from popsters Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha and Adele to rockers like Maroon 5 and even folk singer Pete Seeger, have contributed to Amnesty International’s new Bob Dylan tribute charity album. The collection honors the human rights organization on its 50th anniversary, although Dylan long ago disavowed the protest music movement and said he was never really a part of it. The lineup of singers couldn’t be more diverse for the collection, called Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan. Dylan, himself, sings the cover song, “Chimes of Freedom.” »
