Comics On TV: 'The Incredible Hulk'
20 May 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Ryan Rigley
Joss Whedon's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." may be the latest live-action Marvel TV series to sweep the nation, but it is by no means the first. In the late '70's, families would gather around their televisions every Friday night at 9 P.M. to watch a show featuring everyone's favorite not-so-jolly green giant. Starring the likes of Bill Bixby (as Dr. David Banner) and Lou Ferrigno (as the Hulk), "The Incredible Hulk" has garnered a loyal following of fans throughout the years.
In fact, "The Incredible Hulk" was so successful that recently there has been talk of a re-imagined take on the series, helmed by the great Guillermo del Toro. However, with promotion for "Pacific Rim" now underway and huge films such as "Pinocchio" and "Justice League Dark" currently on his plate, it doesn't seem like del Toro will be getting to this passion project anytime soon. »

Mark Twain meets Sam Peckinpah in Jeff Nichols's exhilarating coming-of-age movie
In the early 1930s, during a lengthy safari in Tanganyika Territory, Ernest Hemingway broke off a discussion of antelope hunting to provide a German expatriate with a disquisition on American literature from colonial times to the present. During this little lecture, included in his Green Hills of Africa, Hemingway made one of his most famous statements. "All American literature," he claims, "comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. If you read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating. But it's the best book we have. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since."

Apres Cannes, a Retreat From the Madness
11 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
The Cannes Film Festival has always been the place to see and be seen. But after spending a week or more running between the jam-packed Croisette Palaces and red-carpet events, film execs and talent often wind up yearning for tranquility, privacy or even just an opportunity to venture beyond Rue d’Antibes.
Luckily, the French Riviera abounds in luxurious properties for every taste and need — from five-star farmhouses to 60-meter yachts and architectural villas overlooking the Mediterranean.
Once a confidential haven for the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, the Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc located in Antibes, about an hour from Cannes, has been transformed into a hotspot for the jet set. Today, the hotel, built in 1870 as a private mansion, has become as legendary as the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles or the Majestic in Cannes, hosting such red-carpet events as the amfAR dinner.

Had enough of The Great Gatsby already? Try these books instead

An attempt to ease the pain of those who feel Baz Luhrmann has not made a film of 'the Great American novel'
Baz Luhrmann's critically panned adaption of The Great Gatsby has generated renewed interest in F Scott Fitzgerald's famed novel, ahead of the film's premiere on Friday.
At the peak of Gatsby fever, though, the inevitable backlash has hit. Impassioned spiels from those who insist that this "Great American Novel" isn't all that great are being raised across the internet – most notably, New York magazine's Kathryn Schulz has written 2,000-word explanation of why she "despises" Fitzgerald's novel.
It is an impressive accomplishment. And yet, apart from the restrained, intelligent, beautifully constructed opening pages and a few stray passages thereafter – a melancholy twilight walk in Manhattan; some billowing curtains settling into place at the closing of a drawing-room door – Gatsby as a literary creation leaves me cold.

The Great Gatsby – The Review
9 May 2013 6:47 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Review by Dane Marti
At first, the idea of making a 3D film out of ‘The Great Gatsby’ seemed to border on the surreal. However, there have been stranger things in cinema, which have ended up working out, and I wisely withheld judgment.
As most of you are aware, ‘The Great Gatsby’ is a book written in the 1920’s by the author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Along with the work of Ernest Hemingway, it is a novel highly regarded by literature professors, scholars, authors and folks that just like to read a good book. In lists of great 20th Century literature, it normally is near the top of the heap, either number one or two, sometimes right behind another seminal novel by James Joyce.
For me, one of the strengths of the novel is that the prose is spectacular in a poetic way.

Czech Films Hit the Road for Moveable Fest
9 May 2013 4:22 PM, PDT | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
With apologies to Ernest Hemingway and "A Moveable Feast," you can call this one a Moveable Fest. The Czech That Film Festival, which begins five days of screening in Los Angeles on Friday, is a festival on the go, hitting three cities before stopping in L.A. with another seven on the itinerary afterwards. From the 1968 Oscar winner "Closely Watched Trains" to last year's acclaimed Oscar entry "In the Shadow," and from 1964 Czech musical "The Hop Pickers" to the 2011 rotoscope-animated noir "Alois Nebel," the festival is taking a cross-section »

Watch Audrey Hepburn Make Her Film Debut in a 1948 Travel Documentary
7 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Not many Hollywood actors make their film debut in a documentary, but there have been a few over time. Ten-year-old Steve Martin was unintentionally in Disneyland Dream, Rod Taylor performed in reenactments for the commemorative short Inland with Sturt and, while not his first movie appearance, Arnold Schwarzenegger sort of broke out with Pumping Iron. Orson Welles got his first film credit as narrator of Joris Ivens's The Spanish Earth, though his voice was actually replaced with that of Ernest Hemingway. Audrey Hepburn similarly was initially captured on celluloid for a nonfiction work: 1948's Dutch in Seven Lessons. This postwar travelogue from eventual Oscar winner Charles van der Linden and Heinz Josephson had its premiere on this day 65 years ago (although...

Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck
2 May 2013 12:36 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
The best part about “Don’t Say No Until I Finish Talking: The Story of Richard D. Zanuck” comes at the very end, when viewers are informed the producer/executive got to see the finished film three days before his death last July. It certainly would have been a shame if Zanuck had missed Laurent Bouzereau’s tribute, which hails him as the “consummate movie guy.” Produced by Steven Spielberg — whose career took off after making “Jaws” with Zanuck — the Turner Classic Movies production is warm and heartfelt, although to fully do Zanuck’s career justice, you’re going to need a bigger doc.
Zanuck — who died at the age of 77 — is interviewed discussing at length his complicated relationship with his famous father, studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck, who told him he would have to “overcome the circumstances of your birth” in terms of perceptions of nepotism. Their interaction took »

Sundance London 2013 – Running From Crazy Review
30 April 2013 2:15 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Legendary author Ernest Hemingway may have lived a life chock-full of adventure but his biggest challenge appears to have been his own demons. Running From Crazy finds renowned documentary filmmaker Barbara Kopple taking an intimate look at the legacy of mental health issues which have dogged three generations of the Hemingway family. To help her out, she has enlisted the Nobel Prize-winning writer’s youngest granddaughter (actress-turned-campaigner, Mariel) who acts as a guide to the lives of her dysfunctional clan.
With Oprah Winfrey credited as ‘executive producer’ (it’s set to be released via her own network in the Us) you could almost be forgiven into thinking this is a Us-style, daytime TV pop psychology fluff piece. Mariel’s sometimes laboured camera confessionals and theatrical self-help speeches unhelpfully add to that impression. Thankfully, the film manages to transcend that format by revealing the deeper, darker secrets of the family dynasty, »

In the Fog – review
29 April 2013 1:32 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Sergei Loznitsa's stark parable about Soviet collaboration with the Nazis has echoes of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky
Sergei Loznitsa's My Joy, a fable about the increasingly nightmarish journey of a lorry driver lost in a violent post-communist Russia, was well received at Cannes three years ago but is yet to be released in this country. His second film, In the Fog, based on a highly regarded novel by Vasili Bykov, also received a warm welcome in Cannes and is one of the best Russian films to open in Britain over the past decade. It's set in Loznitsa's native Belarus in 1942, and the fog of the title is both literal and metaphorical, the fog of war that swirls around its three principal characters, Russians involved in the struggle against the German invaders.
In the Fog unfolds at a stately pace, beginning with a striking opening sequence shot in what appears »

Sundance London: Running From Crazy Review
28 April 2013 10:40 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Barbara Kopple.
Starring: Mariel Hemingway.
Running Time: 105 minutes.
Synopsis: Running From Crazy follows Academy Award nominee, health guru and granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway as she explores her fears of mental illness and emotional instability. The documentary promises to show Mariel Hemingway’s attempt at getting to the bottom of the depression and suicidal tendencies which have run in her family for generations.
Mariel Hemingway is a longtime supporter of charities that deal with mental instability, raising awareness of suicide and its prevention. However, what’s delivered here is quite a different story, and though certain scenes are truly engaging, the problem is that the scenes barely go together. But this is an Own film, and with an Oprah Winfrey seal of approval comes the expected nature footage, voiceovers, repetition and heartbreaking displays of emotion.
Shifting from suicide and depressions to facts about the legendary Ernest ‘Papa’ Hemingway, there’s »

Six novelists on their favourite second artform
27 April 2013 2:37 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Writers often worry about the dangers of outside influence, but what about the non-literary inspirations they are far more comfortable admitting to? Andrew O'Hagan talks to six novelists about their passion for a second artform
The divine counsels decided, once upon a time, that influence is bad and that too much agency is the enemy of invention. Harold Bloom can't be blamed for that: he certainly pointed to the danse macabre of influence and anxiety, but to him the association was perfectly creative. Elsewhere, writers have always been blamed for being too much like other writers, or too much like themselves, and even now, in the crisis of late postmodernism, we find it hard to believe that writers might live happily in a state of influence and cross-reference. Yet anybody who knows anything about writers knows that they love their sweet influences.
What I've noticed, though, is that the influences »

Sundance London 2013 – Part Four: ‘Emanuel and the Truth about Fishes’ conforms to the worst indie stereotypes
26 April 2013 7:18 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Over the years, voice-overs in trailers have largely been substituted for flashes of capitalised text and droning horns as a means of pressing the imprint of a film on one’s memory. As with most things that die out quietly with the passage of time, we probably took the sounds of Don Lafontaine’s throaty tones far too much for granted. The death of this particular trend is understandable given each blockbuster franchise’s preference to retain insular identities (while ironically mimicking each other). In 2013, to hear a proposition such as Lafontaine’s overlaying a high-octane action teaser would surely raise viewers’ eyebrows and slouched backs.
In a World… posits the unlikely scenario of this trend’s resurrection and the whirlwind effect it has on a close-knit group of Hollywood players, each vying to be the new voice of the multiplex. Vocal coach Carol Solomon (Lake Bell, also writer and »

Sundance London 2013 Review - Running from Crazy (2012)
25 April 2013 10:05 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Running From Crazy, 2012.
Directed by Barbara Kopple.
Synopsis:
Running from Crazy is a documentary examining the personal journey of model and actress Mariel Hemingway, the granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway, as she strives for a greater understanding...
A documentary can be a powerful tool to inform people of a serious issue that people may have overlooked in their day to day lives. Running from Crazy however seemed to miss that class in film school as it's a documentary about nothing in particular.
The documentary follows Mariel Hemingway as she recounts her family's terrible history of suicide, which she puts down to mental illness. However it ends up becoming more of a documentary about the three granddaughters of the great Ernest Hemingway which makes it end up like a Sky Living docu-drama in the lines of Keeping up with the Kardashians.
The issue of mental illness is addressed in the opening moments »

Hadley Freeman's 10 awesome women: from Katharine Hepburn to Miss Piggy

They're funny and passionate. One of them can even rock a pastel pantsuit. Hadley Freeman hails her female heroes whose accomplishments deserve some serious respect
These days, White is mainly known for two things: 1. Being old, and 2. Being funny about it. But there is so much more to her than geriatric self-mockery. Aside from her brilliant performances on The Golden Girls and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, White was one of the first women to take control of her own acting career by co-founding a TV production company in the 1950s. She was also nominated for the first best-actress Emmy in 1950, and her book about this period of her life, Here We Go Again: My Life in Television, is as funny as it is inspirational. Still sharp as a tack in her 10th decade, she is not only a hilarious actor but a hysterical off-the-cuff guest on American talk shows, »
