Romeo And Juliet for Twilight Crowd
19 May 2012 11:11 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Romeo and Juliet: Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth Starring Lol‘s Douglas Booth and True Grit‘s Hailee Steinfeld, a new version of Romeo and Juliet is currently being shopped around at the Cannes Film Festival. Partly financed by Austrian design house Swarovski, this latest adaptation of Shakespeare’s love story was written by Academy Award winner Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park) and directed by Carlo Carlei. A Best New Director David di Donatello nominee for The Flight of the Innocent (1993), Carlei’s previous English-language foray, the Matthew Modine vehicle Fluke, was a major box-office flop in 1995. In recent years, Carlei has worked on Italian television; his most recent TV movie was a remake of Roberto Rossellini’s Il General della Rovere (2011), starring Pierfrancesco Favino in the old Vittorio De Sica role. According to the Los Angeles Times blog 24 Frames, producer Ileen Maisel wants “every teenager in the world to come see” Romeo and Juliet. »

DVD Playhouse – May 2012
By Allen Gardner
Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Being John Malkovich (Criterion) Spike Jonze’s madcap film of Charlie Kaufman’s script, regarding a socially-disenfranchised puppeteer (John Cusack) who finds a portal into the mind of actor »

The Lion In Winter Producer Martin Poll Dead
16 April 2012 10:43 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, The Lion in Winter Martin Poll, best known for producing Anthony Harvey's 1968 Best Picture Oscar nominee The Lion in Winter, starring Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Peter O'Toole as King Henry II, died of "natural causes" on April 14 according to various online sources. Poll was 89. An Avco Embassy release, The Lion in Winter was considered the favorite for the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. The film had won the Best Film Award from the New York Film Critics Circle, while Harvey was the year's Directors Guild Award winner. However, Carol Reed's Columbia-distributed musical Oliver! turned out to be the winner in both categories. (Curiously, the previous year another Embassy release, Mike Nichols' The Graduate, unexpectedly lost the Best Picture Oscar to Norman Jewison's United Artists-distributed In the Heat of the Night. But at least Nichols came out victorious. »

The Human Centipede 3: stopped in its tracks

Filming on the third instalment of the controversial horror series is delayed as director Tom Six and star Dieter Laser argue over the script
As those who've seen the first two instalments in Tom Six's horror series will know, there isn't much wriggle room in The Human Centipede. And so it seems to be proving behind the scenes, too, with an impasse between Six and actor Dieter Laser threatening to hold up filming on the third film in the franchise, which had been scheduled to start in June.
Laser had long been rumoured to return in the new film, reprising his role as the dastardly doctor who first has a crack at sewing together three kidnap victims mouth-to-anus, despite his character receiving a bullet to the head in the first film's final reel. The fate of his opposite number in the second film, however, was less ambiguous: Laurence Harvey's obese car-park attendant, »

Third Human Centipede Tripped Up
29 March 2012 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
A few weeks ago we brought you the news that The Human Centipede: Final Sequence was underway, with Tom Six welcoming previous stars Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey back to the fold. But it now seems that all is not going quite according to plan: Laser appears to have pulled out, and Six is preparing a lawsuit.There's much speculation that this is all a publicity stunt designed to keep the threequel in the spotlight. Whether that's the case or not (and if it is, it's working, since, well, here we are), what's emerged so far is fightin' talk.The first service predictably came from Six, in a tweet (in shouty capitals) that goes thusly: "Breaking News: My Company Will Sue Actor Dieter Laser!!! Worldwide Press Release Will Follow Shortly".Said announcement came from producer Ilona Six (Tom's sister), who told Fangoria: "Because of the success of The Human Centipede, »
Human Centipede Actor Sued for Delaying Third Film
29 March 2012 4:27 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Director Tom Six has been planning to begin shooting the third "Human Centipede" installment in June and has promised to bring back both Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey, the villains of the first two films. But now comes word that Laser is no longer interested in returning, causing the "The Human Centipede 3" to push back production and filing a lawsuit against the actor. "Because of the success of 'The Human Centipede,' it seems that Mr. Dieter Laser's ego has grown to laughably big proportions," said producer Ilona Six. "First signing the contract and rating the 'The Human Centipede 3' script as fantastic, and then demanding his own unacceptable script changes, and now refusing to play the part only seven weeks prior to shooting. Six Entertainment Company will start legal action against Dieter Laser. Tom Six says not to worry . principal photography will be postponed and will take place later this year. »
Updated: Fact or Meta Nonsense? Human Centipede 3 On Hold Over Lawsuit
29 March 2012 1:57 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Select sites are running a piece of news that can be construed as the real deal...or just an early promotional stunt for Human Centipede 3.
As we told you earlier, Tom Six is returning to the series to write and direct a third chapter on U.S. soil.
Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey are back to star, too, giving us the sense that Six intends to push the "meta" angles of the series even further. But now there appears to be "trouble" for the production.

The Human Centipede III to Unite Dieter Laser and Laurence Harvey!
2 March 2012 2:49 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Actors Dieter Laser and Laurence R. Harvey, the stars of The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), have both been cast in The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence).
Dieter Laser starred in The Human Centipede (First Sequence) as Dr. Heiter, a deranged doctor who kidnaps three people and literally sews them together to form a human centipede. The sequel, The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence), went meta, with Laurence R. Harvey starring as Martin, a man obsessed with the first film who creates a much larger centipede of his own.
In yet another bizarre twist, writer-director Tom Six will play himself in a The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) supporting role.
We don't have any details on the story behind The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence), but it seems that Martin is trying to connect with the actual stars of the original film, and its director. »

The Horror! The Horror! Must-See War Films

You can't show war as it really is on the screen, with all the blood and gore. Perhaps it would be better if you could fire real shots over the audience's head every night, you know, and have actual casualties in the theater. -- Sam Fuller, film director and author
War is a grisly business, a horror of epic proportions. In terms of human carnage alone, war's devastation is staggering. For example, it is estimated that approximately 231 million people died worldwide during the wars of the 20th century. However, this figure does not take into account the walking wounded -- both physically and psychologically -- who "survive" war. Eventually, war will be our undoing. As Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent and author Chris Hedges observes: War is like a poison. And just as a cancer patient must at times ingest a poison to fight off a disease, so there are times »

And The Oscar Goes To ... Someone Who Didn't Deserve It.
23 February 2012 11:59 AM, PST | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
It still provides a chuckle
The history of The Academy Awards is littered with strange and inexplicable happenings: Revealed shortcomings, spontaneous pushups, "The winner is Paul Newman," Sandahl Bergman's interpretive dance to "Eye Of The Tiger" (admittedly, one of the highlights of my life).
And of course ... Snow White rolling on the river.
But aside from the odd ceremony moments, and the fashion drama on the red carpet, it's the Oscar errors in judgment that we remember the most.
A few weeks ago we discussed the Oscar nomination Sins Of Omission, so let's now take a look at the performers who actually won, and how The Academy still blew it.
The 2005 nominees for Best Actor were:
Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote
Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain
David Strathairn in Good Night and Good Luck
Terrence Howard in Hustle & Flow
Joaquin Phoenix in Walk The Line

Cinema Paradiso Finale: Valentine's Day Movie Montage
14 February 2012 2:48 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Anna Magnani in (what looks like) Luchino Visconti's Bellissima At the end of Giuseppe Tornatore's Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winner Cinema Paradiso, small-town projectionist Philippe Noiret has died and the Nuovo Cinema Paradiso has become a pile of rubble. The bratty Italian boy Salvatore Cascio has grown into the classy Frenchman Jacques Perrin (like Noiret, dubbed in Italian), a filmmaker who sits to watch a mysterious reel of film the deceased projectionist had left him. It turns out the reel contains clips from films censored by the prudish local parish priest, whose family values found kisses, embraces, and bare breasts and legs a danger to society. Now, who's doing all that kissing, embracing, and breast/leg-displaying in that film reel? (Please scroll down for the Cinema Paradiso clip.) Here are the ones I recognize: Silvana Mangano and Vittorio Gassman in Giuseppe De Santis' Bitter Rice (1949); Mangano »

If Jon Huntsman is 'the Manchurian Candidate,' then what is Newt Gingrich?
5 January 2012 5:01 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
We aren’t sure if it’s a joke or if this really is the most offensive political advertisement of the 2012 campaign. But this vile, racist video suggesting that Jon Huntsman is the “Manchurian Candidate” — mostly because the former ambassador to China happens to speak Chinese and has two adopted Asian daughters — got us thinking: If Huntsman is being tarred as Laurence Harvey from the 1962 political thriller, what other pop cultural figures could be used in attack ads against the remaining Republicans trying to get to the White House?

Harry Fowler obituary
5 January 2012 9:44 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
'Cheeky cockney' character actor who graced British screens for more than 60 years
While working on the classic Ealing comedy Hue and Cry in 1947, the actor Harry Fowler, who has died aged 85, was given sage advice by one of his co-stars, Jack Warner: "Never turn anything down … stars come and go but as a character actor, you'll work until you're 90."
Fowler took the suggestion and proved its near veracity. Between his 1942 debut as Ern in Those Kids from Town until television appearances more than 60 years later, he notched up scores of feature films and innumerable TV shows, including three years as Corporal "Flogger" Hoskins in The Army Game.
He never attained star status but created a gallery of sparky characters, including minor villains, servicemen, reporters and tradesmen enriched by an ever-present cheeky smile and an authentic cockney accent. He was Smudge or Smiley, Nipper or Knocker, Bert or 'Orace, as »
