Blu-ray Review: ‘80s Hits ‘Gremlins,’ ‘Dirty Dancing’ & Their Sequels
15 May 2012 2:06 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The generation raised on movies of the ’80s is now the one that buys the most Blu-rays. And so it makes sense that more and more of the films of our youth are hitting the format. Again. And again. Lionsgate has turned releasing and re-releasing “Dirty Dancing” into an art form (and would never pass up the 25th anniversary without another re-release). And Warner Bros. has finally given both “Gremlins” and “Gremlins 2” an HD polish although one wishes they had given more care and love to Joe Dante’s gems. Oh yeah, you can also now own “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” on Blu-ray if there’s anyone out there who considers that valuable information.
It may say something about the war of the sexes but I imagine more men would choose the “Gremlins” 2-pack and more women would lean toward the “Dirty Dancing” 2-film collection on the new releases shelf. »

Review: Beauty and the Beast 3D

Review by LondonFilmFan
Stars (the voices of): Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Richard White, Jerry Orbach, Angela Lansbury, David Ogden Stiers | Written by Linda Woolverton, Roger Allers | Directed by Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise
With the immense box office success of The Lion King‘s 3D conversion last year, it was only a matter of time before similar films followed suit. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is highly regarded as an animated classic, so who is to argue with a 3D theatrical re-release then? Well, this reviewer volunteers (may as well add “as tribute” since this unpopular opinion just might spell my end). Over twenty years after its initial release, there seems little reason for the film to be occupying cinema space again.
While the hand-drawn animation has an uneven charm, there isn’t much that holds up visually when compared with modern animation. »

The Films Of Sidney Lumet: A Retrospective
9 April 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.
Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.
Lumet was never fancy. He never needed to be, as a master of blocking, economic camera movements and framing that empowered the emotion and or exact punctuation of a particular scene. First and foremost, as you’ve likely heard ad nauseum -- but hell, it’s true -- Lumet was a storyteller, and one that preferred his beloved New York to soundstages (though let's not romanticize it too much, he did his fair share of work on studio film sets too as most TV journeyman and early studio filmmakers did).
His directing career stretched well over 50 years, »

The '80s Strike Back! Here Are Six Remakes to Look "Forward" To
6 April 2012 5:05 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
It's official: every single film from the 1980s, aside from Mannequin, Krull, and Weekend at Bernie's has been remade. Here's a quick update on the final half-dozen, all of which will make you complain and whine. Even the good ones. Dirty Dancing (1987) -- A headstrong young woman discovers love and sex-tastical stuff during one nostalgic summer somewhere silly. Who Made It: The writer of It's My Turn (1980) and the director of Three Men and a Little Lady. Also Jennifer Grey and cool dudes like Jerry Orbach and Patrick Swayze. (Rip) Who's Remaking It: All we know at this point is that Lionsgate has it earmarked for July of next year, and considering how well remakes like The Karate Kid and Footloose have done, this one seems inevitable. Why? Are you...

Rediscovering the Beauty in Disney’s ‘the Beast’
11 February 2012 10:14 AM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
The success of Disney’s live-action resurrection of Alice in Wonderland has sparked a new trend in Hollywoodland. In keeping with the last decade, it is still one where stories are recycled. Risk still reigns, but there’s a surge coming from studios to rediscover fond fairy tales, with a modern twist.
It’s the reason there are two Snow White modernizations in theaters within ten weeks (and another on the way). Why we’ve seen the return of Red Riding Hood, Alice, Sleeping Beauty and more, and why we’re expecting live-action adaptations of Hansel & Gretel (“witch hunters”), Tinkerbell, multiple Peter Pans, Maleficent, and more Snow White.
And, if you trace them back, many of them point to Alice in Wonderland super producer Joe Roth, who was chairman of Walt Disney Studios from 1994-2000. Roth Films is behind Snow White and the Huntsman, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Maleficent »

Exclusive: Robby Benson Talks Beauty and the Beast 3D

Robbie Benson Talks Beauty and the Beast 3D, in theaters now
Walt Disney's 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast is back in theaters for a limited 3D release to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. Already a box office hit its first week back on screens, we now celebrate this timeless tale's second weekend out with a chat from its leading Beast, Robby Benson.
We are longtime fans of Robby, so it was a great honor to speak with the man behind the voice of Beauty and the Beast's title character, an arrogant Prince turned into a frightful monster, who must earn the love and respect of another before breaking the spell.
A voice actor since childhood, and star of such live-action classics as Ice Castles and Ode to Billy Joe, we chatted with Robby Benson about the legacy of Beauty and the Beast, his work looping Godzilla, King of the Monsters! »

Mouse House: Beauty and the Beast 3D Review
16 January 2012 10:32 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
There’s a simple scene in this acclaimed, masterful piece of film when free-spirited, purely confident Belle (voiced by magnificent Broadway star Paige O’Hara) says to her beastly captor, “Thank you… for saving my life,” after he saves her from a pack of vicious wolves. This typical line in any other movie may have you roll your eyes or sigh, but the chemistry and sincerity between these two characters feels so real, so human, that you forget you’re watching drawings come to life. Moments like this confirm my belief that Beauty and the Beast is not only one of the best animated films ever created, but also one of the most lovely romances put to screen. Those may sound like overblown statements, but after watching this film countless times – and now in an additional dimension – I never fail to be amazed by how well-rounded and powerful Beast is through and through. »

Mark Wahlberg/Contraband Surprises, Meryl Streep/The Iron Lady Strong: Box Office
14 January 2012 2:39 AM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Ben Foster, Contraband According to Deadline.com, this four-day Martin Luther King holiday weekend the North American box office could reach $165 million — or up about 4% compared to last year. Considering the disappointing returns in late 2011, a modest increase is good news indeed for the jittery Hollywood studios. Helping things out are the Mark Wahlberg crime thriller Contraband, which earned an estimated $9 million on Friday and may reach $30 million by Monday evening. Box Office Mojo was expecting the film to bring in only $18.5 million. Anyhow, if those early estimates are correct, that's a solid start for a movie that reportedly cost $25 million (not including marketing/distribution expenses). A remake of Óskar Jónasson's 2008 Icelandic hit Reykjavik-Rotterdam, Contraband was directed by Baltasar Kormákur, the original film's star-producer. In addition to Wahlberg Contraband features Kate Beckinsale, Giovanni Ribisi, Diego Luna, Ben Foster, Lukas Haas, Caleb Landry Jones, and J.K. Simmons. Disney's 3D-ification of »

'Beauty And The Beast' Voice Cast: Where Are They Now?
13 January 2012 12:44 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
For those of us who grew up during the "Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast" era of Disney films, the re-releasing of these childhood classics hits on some very nostalgic nerves. At least for this writer, anyway. I have very specific childhood memories tied to all of those animated classics and am looking forward to seeing "Beauty and the Beast 3D" during its limited release (which began today).
Anyway, in thinking about the magic involved in this film - the first animated movie ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar- I can't help but wonder about the talented voice actors who brought the characters to life. Where are they now? Click through to see what the actors who brought Belle, Beast and Mrs. Potts to life are up to now.

Be our guest and watch these clips from Beauty and the Beast
10 January 2012 11:20 AM, PST | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
It was 21 years ago that the story of Belle (Paige O'Hara) and Beast (Robby Benson) flooded into theatres and enchanted audiences with the fairytale story of a small-town girl who, in order to save her kooky, inventor dad, ends up a captive of Beast, a prince under a spell that can only be broken by true love.
Though based on the 18th work by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, Disney's instant-classic version added talking objects - a candlestick, a clock, a teapot, etc. voiced by the likes of Jerry Orbach and Angela Lansbury - and a fiercely independent heroine who was able to see beyond Beast's horrific outside to the loving heart that was beating within. Nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, which was a major coup for an animated film, it's being brought back to theatres this weekend in 3D, allowing young parents to introduce the movie to their »
