Steven Spielberg discusses War Horse
10 April 2012 10:07 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »
In this Q&A, director Steven Spielberg discusses his latest film War Horse.
Steven Spielberg is one of the movie industry’s most successful and influential filmmakers, as well as a principal partner of DreamWorks Studios. He is the top-grossing director of all time, having helmed blockbusters including Jaws, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones franchise and Jurassic Park.
For his most recent project, the three-time Academy Award winner traveled to England to shoot the wartime movie, War Horse, based on the novel and Broadway play about a horse on an odyssey during World War I. The distinguished director recently discussed the film and revealed what attracted him to the epic project.
Q: It’s very rare that a project is successful as a novel, as a play and as a movie – but War Horse is all three. Why do you think the story is so versatile?

War Horse Blu-Ray 4-Disc Combo Pack Review And Giveaway
3 April 2012 8:22 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
War Horse is a tricky film when it comes to analyzing the overall critical consensus. It was nominated for a host of awards, but if we’re honest, it isn’t hard to see that – Spielberg made a movie, it’s about war, here’s a picture – is all you need for that to be an unavoidable result. Critics loved it, especially those who have been around film long enough for it to remind them of the early war films it mirrors with many scenes, but those who didn’t love it, really didn’t love it.
I ultimately had to give it 3.5/5 stars (my War Horse review here), almost exclusively on technical merit, and the odd bit of fun, despite the fact that the film actually kind of pisses me off. Meanwhile, Christopher Lominac put it at number two on his list of the best of the year.

War Horse Blu-ray Review!

The Movie Pool whispers to the War Horse Blu-ray!
The Set-up
The perils of World War I takes a horse on a remarkable journey, where he touches the lives of a number of people. Based on the novel and Broadway play.
Directed by Steven Spielberg
The Delivery
War Horse was lost in the crush of epics and indie favorites in late 2011, but its release on Blu-ray will likely give it the recognition it deserves. It seems odd that a Steven Spielberg film was not treated with more fanfare, and perhaps that is because this is not a typical Spielberg picture.
The man who brought us box office hits like Jaws, Raiders, and Jurassic Park has matured with time, and with him his approach to moviemaking. War Horse does not exactly fit the expected Spielberg formula: it is neither a summer blockbuster or an epic tale of the human spirit conquering long odds. »

Adding Another Dimension – Hollywood And 3D Conversion
30 March 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
27th September 1922 is a day film-fans may feel a tremendous amount of ill-feeling towards; it was the day 3D was unleashed onto the big-screen via The Power Of Love. Almost 90 years on and 3D has become a standard for blockbuster movies and has taken cinema ‘immersion to a whole new level’ – according to George Lucas. Never one to miss a trick James Cameron has seen an opportunity to enhance his ‘king of the world’ tag by re-releasing Titanic (1997) in 3D.
Taking $1.8 billion dollars at the worldwide box-office on its initial release Titanic set a new benchmark for blockbusters; it has a paper-thin plot yes but the ship-sinking is still a magnificent sight 15 years on even in boring old 2D, imagine how 3D would enhance this marvellous spectacle!
The ‘newly converted to 3D’ label is appearing with worrying regularity right now; George Lucas kicked off the rampage of childhood-dream-killing that is »

Check Out An Exclusive Clip From The War Horse Blu-Ray, And Win Your Own Copy!
22 March 2012 1:39 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Maybe the most remarkable thing about Steven Spielberg's War Horse is that, despite the old-fashioned vibe of the movie, it was shot almost entirely outdoors, replicating the battlefields and farmhouses of World War II-era Europe with a sharp accuracy. That pays off massively in many scenes, but maybe no more than in the battle scene of No Man's Land, with German and British soldiers neck-deep in mud in the trenches, and our heroic horse Joey running for his life, and getting snagged in barbed wire for his efforts. In this exclusive bonus feature clip from the upcoming Blu-Ray/DVD release of War Horse, producer Kathleen Kennedy and Spielberg give a sense of exactly how authentic and rough those outdoor locations were-- to the point that even the world's most famous director couldn't avoid some deadly mud puddles.

Jurassic Park dinosaurs to be brought back to life for 3D re-release in 2013
16 March 2012 3:05 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
What do Star Wars, Titanic, The Lion King and now Jurassic Park all have in common? Answer: The 3D treatment.
Universal has announced plans to celebrate the Steven Spielberg dino-classic's 20th anniversary next year by giving the prehistoric blockbuster an extra dimension of monster magic.
Producer Kathleen Kennedy previously said they would only do a 3D conversion if Spielberg and cinematographer Januz Kaminski were brought back to ensure it was done right.
The studio has set the film for a July 19, 2013 release and moved the Tom Cruise-headlined sci-fi flick Oblivion out of that slot for an earlier arrival on April 26.
That could serve multiple objectives. July 19 is a light week for new releases (just Dreamworks' animated snail tale Turbo, voiced by Ryan Reynolds, remains on that date), giving moviegoers more incentive to pay full price for a film they've already seen - and probably already own.

‘Jurassic Park’ Gets the 3D Treatment for Summer 2013; Tom Cruise’s ‘Oblivion’ Moves Up
15 March 2012 5:04 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Although he made the 3D plunge with a brand new film which utilized cutting edge technology (to, in my opinion, wonderful results), one of Steven Spielberg‘s next ventures with the technology will look back a few years — 20 or 65 million, depending on who you ask. Yes, it’s finally happened: Universal will give Jurassic Park the 3D post-conversion treatment, with a release scheduled for July 19th, 2013.
We’ve more or less known this was coming since December — Kathleen Kennedy spoke out about the possibility, calling the film “a perfect example of a movie that could work really, really well as a 3D picture” — though I am ever-so-slightly surprised that it’s happening in just over 16 months. (Post-conversions — especially on film-shot material — takes a while if you want proper results.)
But I’ll put my blind faith in a transfer-obsessed guy like Spielberg to do this one right, even if I »

Jurassic Park 3D Re-Release Set for July 19, 2013
15 March 2012 3:43 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Since 3D re-releases seem to be all the rage these days (thanks to The Lion King), we’ll soon get the opportunity to re-watch some fan favorites in theaters. Disney has a full slate of 3D re-releases planned, including Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid, and now comes word that dinosaurs will once again terrorize movie theaters, though this time it’ll be in three dimensions. Variety’s Jeff Sneider reports that Jurassic Park is set for a 3D re-release on July 19th, 2013. That weekend is currently only home to the DreamWorks Animation film Turbo, but it’s also a couple weeks after Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse hits theaters. Steve (the Collider one) spoke with producer Kathleen Kennedy about the possible 3D re-release of Jurassic Park back in December. At the time she said they only wanted to do the 3D conversion if they could do it right, with Kennedy »

The Artist and Hugo Dominate at the 2012 Academy Awards
27 February 2012 6:51 AM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
If, for some crazy reason, you weren't glued to your TV last night watching the Oscars, here's a quick rundown of what you missed: not much. As expected, The Artist ended up winning most of the major awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, although Hugo managed to snag a lot of the technical awards. In the end, they finished in a tie with 5 wins a piece. The only real surprise of the night was Meryl Streep's Best Actress win over Viola Davis for her performance in The Iron Lady. Other than that, it was somewhat a yawn-inducing show, with Billy Crystal doing a serviceable but unremarkable job as host. I think the clear highlight of the night came on the red carpet where Sacha Baron Cohen "accidentally" spilled Kim Jong-Il's ashes on Ryan Seacrest. Were you happy with this year's Academy Award winners? What did you think of the show overall? »

"The Artist," "Hugo" Win Big at the 2012 Oscars! See Complete List of Winners of the 84th Annual Academy Awards aka Tribute to French Cinema!
26 February 2012 5:51 PM, PST | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
The 84th Annual Academy Awards became a rightful homage to French cinema! "The Artist," distributed by The Weinstein company but the creative team is composed mostly of French folks, took home the big prize, the Best Picture award! "The Artist" won a total of 5 Oscars including Jean Dujardin for Best Actor, Michel Hazanavicius for Best Director, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score.
But "Hugo" also won 5 Oscars, mostly technical and artistic merits, such as Best Art Direction, Cinematography, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects.
"Hugo," of course, was itself an homage to George Melies, the French illusionist who gave us the trippy "A Trip to the Moon."
Both "The Artist" and "Hugo" led the Oscar nominations with 10 and 11 nods respectively.
There was really no "oh gosh what a surprise" moment of the evening except for Meryl Streep taking home the Best Actress Oscar from the perceived surefire winner Viola Davis of "The Help. »
