Nine Overlooked Classic Westerns
25 March 2012 6:57 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The Western was a movie staple for decades. It seemed the genre that would never die, feeding the fantasies of one generation after another of young boys who galloped around their backyards, playgrounds, and brick streets on broomsticks, banging away with their Mattel cap pistols. Something about a man on a horse set against the boundless wastes of Monument Valley, the crackle of saddle leather, two men facing off in a dusty street under the noon sun connected with the free spirit in every kid.
The American movie – a celluloid telling that was more than a skit – was born in a Western: Edwin S. Porter’s 11- minute The Great Train Robbery (1903). Thereafter, Westerns grew longer, they grew more complex. The West – hostile, endless, civilization barely maintaining a toehold against the elements, hostile natives, and robber barons – proved an infinitely plastic setting. In a place with no law, and where »

Strangest & Most Controversial Moments In the History of the Academy Awards
23 February 2012 5:49 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The saying goes: If Hollywood is really the movie capital of the world, then Oscar night is the world’s biggest wrap party, and like all parties, each event comes with unwelcome guests, embarrassing situations, strange fashions and controversial moments. In fact, controversy and the Oscars seem to go hand in hand and despite the fact that the Academy Awards are, for the most part, an elegant and tightly controlled affair, some very strange things do occur. Let’s take a look back through the history of the Academy Awards, and some of it’s strangest and more controversial moments – which sadly were also the most memorable.

James Bond Retrospective: Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
15 February 2012 12:13 PM, PST | 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 as James Bond prepares for his 23rd official outing in Skyfall 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.
Following the departure of George Lazenby after just one film in the lead role, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman were left wondering if the success and popularity of the series so far had been down to just one man, Sean Connery. While Lazenby had made a good impression as Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service his performance was essentially a reinterpretation of Connery rather than a reinvention of the role itself. With the producers keen to cast a new lead they set to work auditioning actors for the part, »

James Bond Retrospective: On Her Majesty’S Secret Service (1969)
30 January 2012 10:08 AM, PST | 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 as James Bond prepares for his 23rd official outing in Skyfall 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.
The sixth film in the series was to be inspired by Fleming’s 11th novel, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (Ohmss). Following the excesses of You Only Live Twice, the decision was made to take Bond back to his roots and make a faithful adaptation of Fleming’s original story with less reliance on gadgets and an emphasis on the love story at the heart of the novel.
Peter Hunt, who had already made his mark on the series by serving as editor for the previous films, »

Ralph Fiennes On Skyfall
17 January 2012 12:46 PM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Ralph Fiennes has spoken, albeit in a veiled manner, about his forthcoming role in the latest instalment of the James Bond saga, Skyfall. The diverse and classically trained actor has been rumoured to star as the recurring super villain, Bolfeld, who has been famously portrayed by actors such as Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas, Charles Gray and Max von Sydow (as well as being parodied by Mike Myers in the Austin Powers trilogy via the Dr Evil character).
When asked to shed light on the rumour, Fiennes responded with this:
‘I can’t say anything. Well, I can tell you I think the script is very good indeed, and I think the character relationships are very well drawn and that it’s witty and funny – and yes, it has all the things that Bond fans want, which is action and events and locations.’
After a little more prompting, Fiennes declared, ‘I »

James Bond at 50: five 007 movies that would still make great games
11 January 2012 6:04 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
It's 50 years since Sean Connery first graced cinema screens as Bond, and the series has had a rocky history in terms of games tie-ins. But what would we still like to see from a 007 game?
There are few things a movie studio likes more than celebrating a cinematic anniversary with a ridiculously lavish (and scrumptiously profitable) box set. Hence, Wednesday's announcement that MGM and Fox are to release a gigantic Bond 50 collection, featuring all 22 'official' James Bond movies on Blu-ray discs, as well as more than 130 hours of bonus features.
There will, of course, be no celebratory box set for the tie-in games, though. This isn't just because a whole cavalcade of developers and publishers have been involved in tie-ins and conversions since the side-scrolling shooter James Bond 007 first arrived on the Atari 2600 back in 1983 (watch this – if only for the theme tune rendition at the start); no, it's also »
