Now in Theaters: "Chelsea on the Rocks" (Abel Ferrara, USA)
9 November 2009 5:58 PM, PST | The Auteurs | See recent The Auteurs news »
Above: Abel Ferrara directs Bijou Phillips on the set of Chelsea on the Rocks.
If you think of Chelsea on the Rocks, the new movie by Abel Ferrara, as an “informative documentary,” then it probably seems like a total failure. Interviewees are never identified; when famous faces pop up, the reason for their “importance” is never explained. As far as the movie’s concerned, Ethan Hawke is just a divorced father, Dennis Hopper is just a Dylan Thomas fan, Milos Forman is just some guy who knows how to tell a good story. Any attempts Ferrara makes to explain the change in the famous building's management that's supposedly the reason for the movie are at best half-hearted. If you wanna learn about that, you're better off reading a magazine. Yes, it's a documentary, but not one about the Chelsea Hotel. The history here, the famous names and events, are just wallpaper. »

Phillips Blames MacKenzie For Ruining Her Life
29 September 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Bijou Phillips has blamed her half-sister MacKenzie for ruining her relationship with their father John.
Mackenzie shocked fans by detailing her 10-year sexual affair with The Mamas & The Papas singer in a new memoir, High on Arrival - and she hit headlines last week when she sat down with Oprah Winfrey to talk about the scandal on U.S. TV.
But Bijou, John's youngest child, has admitted Mackenzie told her about the alleged romance years ago - and it had a devastating effect on her teenage years, stripping her of her innocence and leaving her wary of her father.
The 29 year old insists it took her years to repair her relationship with the California Dreamin' hitmaker after hearing about the rape allegations.
In a series of messages posted on her Twitter.com page, Bijou writes, "Exploiting the history of our family and the death of our father John Phillips for the release of a book is disgusting. Allegations of sexual abuse are not only hurtful, but malicious when he is not here to defend himself.
"When I was young my sister told me about this - it ruined my life and my relationship with my father. Up till that point, I was a normal kid. I got good grades, loved my horse, was pretty innocent. I moved out to NYC at 13. Started doing drugs, did not talk to my Dad anymore... I was deeply f**ked up. I'm 29 now, I've talked to everyone who was around during that time, I've asked the hard questions. I do not believe my sister. Our father is many things, this is not one of them. My dad and I made up when I was 20, a year before he died. I'm sad I lost those years with him, and I lost those years at home."
John Phillips died of heart failure in 2001, aged 65. »

Bijou Phillips Stunned And Upset By Sister's Incest Revelations
25 September 2009 6:31 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Bijou Phillips has been left devastated by her sister MacKenzie's incest revelations, insisting she can't believe their father, Mamas & The Papas star John Phillips, once raped his daughter and then enjoyed a decade-long consensual affair with her.
Mackenzie has revealed all about her twisted romance with her father in her new memoir, High on Arrival, and she stunned America on Wednesday when she spoke out about the affair on daytime TV show Oprah.
The actress' stepmother Michelle Phillips, who was also a member of the Mamas & The Papas, immediately fired back at the claims, suggesting Mackenzie's recollections could not be believed - because she's a longtime drug abuser, and now her stepsister has spoken in defence of her father.
Bijou Phillips insists it's not the first time she has heard her sister's outrageous claims, stating, "When I was 13, Mackenzie told me that she had a consensual sexual relationship with our father. This news was confusing and it was also scary, as I lived alone with him since I was three. I didn't know what to believe and it didn't help that shortly thereafter Mackenzie told me it didn't happen."
In a statement to Oprah Winfrey's show, Bijou added, "Mackenzie's history with our father is hers, but also clouded with 30 years of drug abuse. I hope she can come to terms with this and find peace.
"The life I had with my father was very different; he was Mr. Mom, he was encouraging and loving. The man that raised me would never be capable of doing such things, and if he was, it is heartbreaking for me to think that my family would leave me alone with him.
"I understand Mackenzie's need to come clean with a history that she feels will help others but it's devastating to have the world watch as we try to mend broken fences, especially as the man in question isn't here to defend himself."
Re-appearing on the show, Mackenzie admitted she hated the idea of falling out with her stepsister, who bailed her out after her drug arrest last year.
She said, "I love my baby sister and I miss having contact with her. I understand how this is for her and my heart goes out to her."
Phillips was then questioned by Winfrey about why she left her stepsister with her father when she knew of his deviant nature.
The actress said, "Maybe I did her a disservice... but I felt she was safe. I did go there and I did take her out of there at one point, where I felt like she wasn't being watched properly. I didn't feel she was in any sexual danger."
She added, "I have done my best to protect Bijou, even through this firestorm."
Mackenzie was joined by her other stepsister, Chynna Phillips, on the Oprah show on Friday. Chynna believes her sister's claims. »

When a Lenore (Bijou Phillips) learns that she is pregnant, she leaves graduate school to set up a home with her boyfriend in the country. The fate of the happy new family takes a gruesome turn when animals and people end up brutally dead – all with a strange connection to their newborn. Could their new child be the monster responsible for the gruesome murders? When a studio wants to remake a horror film from 1974 and they go direct to DVD with it, there's something potentially dangerous going on. Yet, this gruesome equation may or may not be the case with the First Look Studios film It's Alive, which hits DVD shelves on October 6th. Based on the gnarly clip that we've received exclusively (as seen below), I might be inclined to say that this film could exceed expectations. I will let you decide for yourselves based on the clip below. Check it out »
