Michael Jackson’s ‘Captain Eo’ to reopen at Disneyland Feb. 2010
20 December 2009 12:30 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Michael Jackson is back. Ok, stay with me here: In February 2010, the “Honey I Shrunk The Audience” attraction at Disneyland in southern California is out. Taking back its place is a 17-minute “3-D musical motion picture space adventure” starring the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, who performs two songs: “We Are Here to Change The World” and “Another Part of Me.” The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and produced by George Lucas.
The 3-D experience is called Captain Eo, and it originally played at Epcot and Disneyland starting in 1986 until closing around 1998. Captain Eo cost about a million dollars to make per minute, and was at the time the most expensive motion picture ever.
The short film was about Captain Eo (Jackson) and his crew traveling towards a bitter queen who lived in a cold dark world. (who was played by Anjelica Huston). In the original presentation, lasers, »

Disney Revives Michael Jackson's Captain Eo
18 December 2009 7:53 PM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Disney's hoping that it's been sitting on a goldmine. Seeing as how This Is It exceeded expectations at the global box office and Michael Jackson is back to artistic-hero status after his image spent years in decline, the Mouse House is bringing the 3-D film Captain Eo, starring Jackson as a thriller of an intergalactic commander, back into its theme park fold for a limited engagement in February. The cutting-edge song-and-dance spectacle, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, produced by George Lucas and costarring Angelica Huston as the Witch Queen, premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., in 1986 and became a key attraction in Tomorrowlands around the world. Alas, Disneyland grounded Captain Eo in »

The Dead - DVD Review
18 December 2009 5:56 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
John Huston would release his film based on James Joyce.s short story and then he would join The Dead. The last film of the legendary, rascally director would be a poetic rumination on the past as well as family. Fitting since the film would be a family affair. In 1904, sisters Kate (Helena Carroll) and Julia (Cathleen Delany) Morkan and their niece Mary Jane (Ingrid Craigie) are throwing their annual party for the Feast of the Epiphany (fitting considering the finale). Their nephew Gabriel Conroy (Donal McCann) attends with his wife Greta (Anjelica Huston) also attends. The other guests include the drunkard Freddy Malins (Donal Donnelly) and his mother Mrs. Malins (Marie Kean), politically active Miss Ivors »

Watch with mother: what are the scariest children's films?
16 December 2009 2:55 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Where the Wild Things Are has been thrilling parents and getting their offspring quivering. Which family films still give you the shakes?
Is Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze's retelling of the Maurice Sendak tale about a little boy who finds kindred spirit with a horde of lumbering beasts, too scary for children? It almost certainly depends on the child. What's certain is that kids enjoy being ripped from their existences and challenged on a sensory level just as much as adults do. And they may find the strangest of things terrifying - as a child I was incapable of viewing Sam the blue eagle from the Muppets for more than a few seconds without experiencing epic nightmares that froze me to my very core.
Here are some other films which may just have parents reaching for the remote, though any shivers they engender will surely manifest themselves »

Best of the Decade #13: The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)
11 December 2009 7:11 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
After his initial breakout in the '90s with Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, Wes Anderson went into the beginning of this decade riding high on critical acclaim and ready to break into the mainstream. For his third feature film, he would deliver his most ambitious and emotionally complex project to date: The Royal Tenenbaums. A massive cast jam-packed with talented actors that had largely been forgotten (Gene Hackman, Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston, Bill Murray), along with some current stars (Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller), and a few familiar faces from Anderson's previous films (Kumar Pallana), made for an amazing ensemble of characters based loosely on J.D. Salinger's Glass family. Some have called this Wes Anderson's ultimate masterpiece, and while I don't entirely agree, there is a lot to appreciate in this melancholy yet darkly comedic tale of a dysfunctional family trying to sort itself out. It became clear with »

King of cool
5 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Jacques Audiard's new prison thriller is the most stylish film to come out of Europe for years, following up on the promise of his previous movies Read My Lips and The Beat that My Heart Skipped and confirming his place among the greats of French cinema. Jason Solomons talks to a director who wants his audience to fly with him
Jacques Audiard wears a hat. It's a trilby that, the 57-year-old director says, keeps him warm in the winter and cool in the summer. He was wearing it in the heat of Cannes last May when I first met him, on a blazing roof terrace; and he's wearing it again today, in London, on an autumnal Monday when I catch him smoking his pipe outside the hotel where we're due to meet.
With horn-rimmed glasses, smart jacket and a cravat, he looks a bit like an English gentleman, a »

10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

Wes Anderson's Next Project Gets A Name: The Rosenthaler Suite
16 November 2009 1:00 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I'm sure I'm not the only person who's found themselves newly enamored with Wes Anderson, having seen Fantastic Mr. Fox and realized, hey, he hasn't completely sunk into a pit of self-regard and whimsy after all! It's a wonderful feeling, and I'm more than ready to embrace whatever he has coming up next. Luckily for all of us, Anderson is about to embark on his first remake, a take on the 2006 French film My Best Friend, which he has apparently renamed The Rosenthaler Suite. The Playlist got their hands on the script, and while they say it's merely "nice enough" and could use a second draft, they also pick out some distinctly Anderson-esque touches that should delight his fans. There seem to be parts tailor-made for George Clooney, Anjelica Huston and probably Jason Schwartzman, along with a role that's apparently destined for A Serious Man's Fred Melamed, a.k. »

Calley Too Ill To Receive Honorary Oscar
15 November 2009 3:06 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Movie mogul John Calley missed out on one of the biggest evenings of his life on Saturday - because he was too ill to attend the Governors Awards gala in Los Angeles.
The 79-year-old producer and former studio head was billed to receive the coveted Irving G. Thalberg Oscar, but was too sick to show up.
Steven Spielberg accepted the award from presenter Tom Hanks on his friend's behalf, while fellow moguls George Lucas, Dino De Laurentiis, Saul Zaentz and Warren Beatty paid tribute to Calley.
Honours also went to movie legend Lauren Bacall, director Roger Corman and cinematographer Gordon Willis.
Presenting Bacall with her honour at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland, Anjelica Huston stated the movie star "defines what it means to be an actress," adding, "She is a woman of great charisma and beauty but one not to be trifled with."
Bacall confessed she was "very emotional and grateful" to be honoured at the 2009 Governors Awards.
Honouring B-movie mastermind Roger Corman, Quentin Tarantino called the director "the original maverick," while Ron Howard revealed, "He changed my life."
A thrilled Corman told the audience, "I’m delighted to accept this Oscar," adding that those in Hollywood work in “the only true modern art form.”
Saturday night’s gala and awards ceremony marked the first time the academy has presented its honorary awards anywhere other than during the annual Oscar telecast. »

For the first time since the Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts and Science’s Board of Governors began bestowing their Honorary Award and The Irving G, Thalberg Awards, instead of presenting them during the Live Oscar telecast, this year the Governors Awards were handed out to Producer John Calley, actress Lauren Bacall, producer-director Roger Corman, and cinematographer Gordon Willis, along with 600 invited guests in attendance, at the Grand Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center on Saturday night. The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given to an individual for “extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy. The Thalberg Award, a bust of the legendary motion picture executive, is given to “a creative producer whose body of work reflects a consistently high quality of motion picture production.

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »
