Films To Watch Before You Die #81 - Get Carter (1971)
9 April 2012 1:47 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
D.J. Haza presents the next entry in his series of films to watch before you die...
Get Carter, 1971.
Directed by Mike Hodges.
Starring Michael Caine, Ian Hendry, John Osborne, and Britt Ekland.
Get Carter is a classic British gangster film that sees Jack Carter (Caine) arrive in Northern England with questions about the recent and supposedly accidental death of his brother. Suspecting that foul play was involved in the accident, Carter investigates and interrogates with vengeance on his mind.
As Carter makes his way through the criminal underworld of Newcastle and the surrounding areas he rubs up the local crooks the wrong way and finds himself the subject of more violence. Carter must work out who is telling the truth and who is trying to throw him off the track as he pieces together the clues to find the person behind his brother’s death.

Wicker Man sequel revisits original's murky territory
2 April 2012 3:49 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Wicker Tree has 'jokey bits, sex and a very horrific ending', says returning director Robin Hardy, who admits to schadenfreude at Hollywood remake's failure
Though it was the victim of a takeover at its film company when it was first released in 1973, and earned its director Robin Hardy just £5,000, The Wicker Man has become a cult classic.
The story of a Scottish policeman investigating the disappearance of a girl among a pagan community in the Highlands, it has inspired an academic conference, a musical, several parodies, "singalong" screenings across the country, songs by Pulp and Iron Maiden and a disastrous 2006 remake directed by Neil Labute and starring Nicolas Cage.
In 2010 the Guardian listed it as the fourth greatest horror film of all time. Now, 39 years on, Hardy has released The Wicker Tree, which revisits the territory he explored to such disturbing effect. Having played at some festivals in the Us last year, »

James Bond Retrospective: The Man With The Golden Gun (1974)
15 March 2012 3:56 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 well underway 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.
With Roger Moore well and truly established in the lead role after just one film, work began on a follow-up to Live And Let Die almost as soon as it was released into cinemas. Keen to capitalise on the renewed success of the character, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman chose Fleming’s final Bond novel, The Man With The Golden Gun as their ninth film featuring the British secret agent.
With the novel taking place largely in Jamaica, it was felt »

Playing with fire: The Wicker Man musical
15 February 2012 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Wicker Man is a cult horror classic. Are the team of Scots who have turned the film into a musical – and rejigged its shocking ending – worried about offending fans?
The Wicker Man is easily one of the weirdest films ever made. Shot on location in Scotland, the 1973 movie tells the story of a devout policeman who travels to a remote Hebridean island to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, only to discover that the locals have reverted to pagan practices, using human sacrifice to safeguard their crops. Produced on a minuscule budget, with a cast who had to suck on ice cubes to stop their breath from showing in the cold, the film featured career-defining performances from Edward Woodward as Sergeant Howie and Christopher Lee as the sinister Lord Summerisle. Lee has since said it's his best film.

Own the Pub from The Wicker Man
13 February 2012 4:50 PM, PST | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
If any readers are interested in chipping in with us and starting a pagan community, the actual pub from The Wicker Man is now for sale.In the classic movie, it was known as the Green Man, but in reality, it’s called the Ellangowan Hotel. The hotel is located in Creetown, Scotland, features 9 bedrooms, and has been put on the market for £200,000.
Alistair Letham is selling the property and noted that it is being offered at a reduced price. He also mentioned that the place is popular with fans of the movie: “The Ellangowan attracts a significant number of film fans who visit the area to take in the locations seen in The Wicker Man…. Sadly, Britt Ekland is no longer working behind the bar, but the visitors to the bar partake in a lot less sacrifice than seen in the film, making it a popular local venue.”

Don't Keep 'The Muppet Wicker Man' Waiting!
8 February 2012 10:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Remember that whole "Bert is Evil" viral craze from a few years back, when folks would Photoshop pictures of the cranky Sesame Street character into a bunch of very wrong images? Well prepare yourself for a whole new level of wrongness. Someone, apparently dissatisfied with Jason Segel's recent attempt to update the Muppets for the 21st century, has decided the Jim Henson-created critters would be better employed in a horror movie. But not just any horror movie -- that paen to pagansim and Britt Ekland's derriere double, The Wicker Man. Yes, prepare yourself for The Muppet Wicker Man. In the gallery of images that make up The Muppet Wicker Man, you'll see Kermit the Frog tackle the role of the »

Entertainment Weekly Rates The Best And Worst Bond Girls
6 January 2012 7:36 PM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »
The first Bond girl is arguably the best: Ursula Andress in Dr. No.
Entertainment Weekly's Joshua Rich provides us with yet another completely superfluous, yet admittedly fun, movie list, this time evaluating the merits of major James Bond actresses and characters. Some of his observations are spot-on (i.e Ursula Andress and Diana Rigg rank among the best; Denise Richards and Britt Ekland among the worst. ) Some of the other conclusions seem delusional: would you really consider Lotte Lenya's Rosa Klebb to be a "Bond Girl?" or Maud Adams' Octopussy among the worst characters?
