Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 2 of 5)
24 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Oliver Reed as Athos in The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973/1974, UK):
These films were actually shot all at once but ultimately released as two separate films telling one long story. As the musketeer with a dark past, Oliver Reed provides a lot of the heart and soul in these very entertaining and well-made films. Technically, since we have to isolate one film for our fantasy nomination, it would be The Four Musketeers as his role is more prominent in that film. Reed’s reunion scene with Faye Dunaway’s Milady is superb as is Reed’s intense swordplay with an array of opponents including Christopher Lee. An underrated actor whose career was damaged by well-documented alcohol problems and notorious off-screen behavior, Reed still logged in some truly incredible acting performances over the course of his career. His portrayal of Athos is definitely one of them.

Looking back at Blue Thunder
8 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
John Badham’s high-tech helicopter thriller Blue Thunder rode the crest of a decade obsessed with cool cars and aircraft. Ryan takes a look back…
Back in the 1980s, a company called Sega perfected what it referred to as the Full Body Experience. Less kinky than it sounds, this fusion of Crt television, videogame technology and hydraulic pistons aimed to give amusement arcade visitors a taste of what it might be like to drive a Ferrari Testarossa or motorcycle at breakneck speed or fly a fighter jet through a valley full of enemy aircraft.
For a generation of youths, these machines, with their chunky graphics and even chunkier controls, are the stuff of legend, and the mere mention of their names – Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade – is enough to evoke involuntary memories of Proustian proportions.
These half-remembered machines sum up the 80s era of mechanical wish fulfilment. »

As Universal celebrates its 100th Anniversary on 30th April, a poll of over 1,000 Brits reveals that the scene from E.T. set to John Williams’ famous score is the most cherished moment in the studios cinematic history (19.5%), followed by Roy Scheider delivering the famous line ‘You’re gonna need a bigger boat’ in the 1975 classic Jaws (10.9%).
The third most memorable moment according to fans was in the final scene in the 1985 hit film Back To The Future when Doc Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd, helps Marty McFly get his time travelling DeLoreon home with the help of a clock tower and a bolt of lightning (7.6%). Other scenes in the top ten include Russell Crowe’s declaration ‘My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius.’ in Gladiator (fourth with 6.7%) and Meryl Streep in fifth place leading the ladies to the tune of Abba’s Dancing Queen in Mamma Mia!

Films To Watch Before You Die #89 - Jaws (1975)
18 April 2012 11:27 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
D.J. Haza presents the next entry in his series of films to watch before you die...
Jaws, 1975.
Directed by Steven Spielberg.
Starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton.
Spielberg’s iconic fishy tale of a murderous shark that terrorises a small sea side town became the highest grossing movie of its time and alongside Star Wars it established the current Hollywood business model for summer blockbusters.
The film follows Police Chief Martin Brody (Scheider) as he tries to keep the peace on Amity Island amidst the fallout of a vicious shark attack. With pressure from the town’s Mayor and other notables, Brody has to hunt down the shark and rid the island of its danger. Aided by oceanographer Matt Hooper (Dreyfuss) and shark hunter Quint (Shaw), Brody sets out to rid their waters of the murderous shark, but that’s easier said than done. »

14 April 2012 8:01 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
The Killer Shark is back - and looking better than ever.
Steven Spielberg's iconic thriller Jaws will be released on Blu-ray for the first time later this year.
Arriving in stores on September 3, 2012, the film has been digitally remastered and fully restored and will include two new features among its wealth of bonus material.
Jaws was released in cinemas back in 1975 and starred Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss. It won three Oscars and became the highest-grossing film of its era, earning Spielberg a reputation as a Hollywood visionary and launching the concept of the summer blockbuster.
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a great white shark, the town's chief of police (Scheider), a young marine biologist (Dreyfuss) and a grizzled shark hunter (Shaw) embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast.

Sorcerer Director Friedkin Files Suit Against Studios
13 April 2012 3:56 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Oscar-winning director William Friedkin has filed a lawsuit over the ownership of his Roy Scheider film Sorcerer.
The Exorcist filmmaker has allegedly been banned from screening the 1977 thriller by Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios executives, who claim Friedkin doesn't own the legal rights to the project.
But on Thursday Friedkin launched a legal battle against both distribution companies, who co-produced the film, in bid to solve the dispute.
The documents were filed at the Los Angeles Superior Court and an excerpt, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, reads, "Each has recently disclaimed rights to exploit the Picture in the United States, and admitted ignorance as to who, if anyone, currently has such rights. Bafflingly, however, defendants persist in denying that Friedkin has any rights to exploit the Picture." »
William Friedkin Sues Paramount, Universal Over 'Sorcerer' Ownership

Oscar-winning director William Friedkin is baffled by why he's not being allowed to screen his 1977 thriller Sorcerer and is suing Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios over rights to exploit the film. Friedkin filed his complaint Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and seeks a declaration on his rights. The director, who won an Oscar in 1972 for The French Connection and was nominated again in 1974 for The Exorcist, followed those films up in 1977 with Sorcerer, starring Roy Scheider about a bunch of criminals who end up in South America and must transport highly volatile nitroglycerin to

Steven Spielberg's classic 1975 summer blockbuster "Jaws" - in many ways the first summer blockbuster - will look better than ever when it finally lands on Blu-ray on August 14, as part of Universal's centennial celebrations. "Jaws" centers on a small New England island community besieged by a mindless great white shark over the 4th of July weekend. Roy Scheider plays land-lubbing Chief Brody, who joins a grizzled captain (Robert Shaw) and a marine expert (Richard Dreyfuss) on the ultimate shark hunt/male bonding trip. The film -- with its masterful cutting by Verna Fields -- is still a model of film suspense, and put »
