Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 4 of 5)
26 May 2012 7:49 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Tom Noonan as Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter (Michael Mann, 1986, USA):
Noonan is absolutely incredible as a serial murderer in this underrated adaptation of Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon. With all respect to the talented but miscast actors involved in Brett Ratner’s 2002 adaptation Red Dragon (USA), with the exception of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, the acting in this earlier, superior version of the book exists on a much higher level. Most notably, there’s nothing resembling a comparison between Noonan’s Francis Dollarhyde and Ralph Fiennes’ interpretation. This role is by far Noonan’s finest film work to date and should not be missed.
Other notable Tom Noonan performances: Phoenix (Danny Cannon, 1998, USA).
Christopher Walken as Brad Whitewood Sr.in At Close Range (James Foley, 1986, USA):
Having once described his role in this film as “the hillbilly Lucifer”, Walken is incredible as a rural crime boss bringing his son, »

Blu-ray Review: First Season of AMC’s Watchable Western ‘Hell on Wheels’
22 May 2012 6:07 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – AMC’s watchable western series “Hell on Wheels” is just good enough to sustain audience interest despite its meandering plot. As soon as Gustavo Santaolalla’s catchy theme music kicks in over the brooding title sequence, it’s effortless to become absorbed within Joe and Tony Gayton’s handsomely photographed dramatization of the first transcontinental railroad’s epic construction in 1865.
The most intriguing aspect about the series is how it parallels the expansion of the railroad with the colonization of America itself, and how necessary progress was forged by men with little more on their minds than self-serving greed. Financier Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney) has figured out an excellent way to make a fortune off the railroad with the help of government subsidies. Since he’s being paid $16,000 per mile, he intends to add as many arcs and curves to his railroad as possible, rather than have it chug straight to its destination. »

Hey there, fiends! Last week was an absolutely incredible week! The show has hit a landmark - our one-year anniversary! It is so amazing to me that only two years ago I was a "substitute" horror journalist at another website.
Then my partner and really great friend, Amy Lynes, and I conjured a Facebook page to entertain horror fans. From there we created a podcast which got picked up by an acclaimed online radio station, and here we are. After speaking to forty-three guests every week for a year including Barbara Crampton, Michael Rooker, Patricia Tallman, Jessica Harper, Lance Henriksen, Pollyanna McIntosh, Doug Bradley, Tom Noonan, William Sadler, Heather Langenkamp, and all of our other sinister stars, we have reached our Anniversary show!
This week I had the chance to have one of my absolute favorite ladies of the 70's and 80's as our guest of honor, Pj Soles! I »

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.

Hell on Wheels: The Complete First Season Blu-ray and DVD Arrive May 15
23 April 2012 4:43 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Credited for "helping to modernize the Western genre" when it premiered in 2011, Hell on Wheels centers on former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), whose quest for vengeance has led him to the Union Pacific Railroad's westward construction of the first transcontinental railroad. Currently reigning as the #2 rated show on AMC (with a series premiere that was the second highest rated AMC debut of all time), it is episodic TV at its very best. And before Season Two rolls into town this fall, home viewers can catch up on all the frontier drama in this star-studded smash with Hell On Wheels - The Complete First Season, arriving on DVD and Blu-ray May 15, only from Entertainment One.
Hell on Wheels tells the epic story of post-Civil War America, focusing on a soldier who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, »

Thn’s Top Ten ‘Buddy Cop’ Films
16 March 2012 5:57 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
To compliment the release of 21 Jump Street in the UK, and because we thought it might make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, we’re taking a look back at some of the more prominent ‘buddy cop’ films to have entertained us over the years.
In The Heat Of The Night (1967) was arguably the first to fully adopt the ‘reluctant-but-unavoidable-partnership’ scenario that, in spite of its simplistic formula, is still a mainstay in the film industry today.
Check out our ten favourites below…
48 Hrs (1982)
One’s a hard boiled cop, one’s a wise-cracking criminal…
Walter Hill’s explosive comedy revolves around Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) and the criminal who is forced into his custody, Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy). The duo must put aside their differences in order to try and achieve a common goal: the capturing of a stone cold killer, Albert Ganz (James Remar).

David Doernberg, 1967 – 2012
5 March 2012 7:24 AM, PST | Filmmaker Magazine - Blog | See recent Filmmaker Magazine news »
Production designer David Doernberg, who brought a sensitive, finely crafted and observant touch to many excellent independent films, died in New York on Friday after a battle with cancer.
Doernberg began his career in the late ’80s/early ’90s working on music videos for bands like Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo and Superchunk. He quickly moved into independent features, working as a propmaster for films by Hal Hartley (Amateur), Daisy von Scherler Mayer (Party Girl) and Eric Schaeffer (If Lucy Fell). Soon after he became a production designer, bookending his career with films by Kelly Reichardt. He designed her 1994 debut film, River of Grass, as well as her 2010 period tale of frontier life on the Oregon Trail, Meek’s Cutoff. Other notable credits include Phil Morrison’s Junebug, Alison Maclean’s Jesus’s Son, Morgan J. Freeman’s Desert Blue, Todd Solondz’s Palindromes and Pete Sollett’s Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. »

The House of the Devil Opens its Doors for UK TV Premiere
8 February 2012 11:49 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Enjoy sitting at home on Friday evenings relaxing in front of the telly to unwind and get over the work week? If you’re a horror fan in the UK, then we know you won’t be able to resist making that relaxing evening a little less comfortable on February 17th as The Horror Channel hosts the official UK TV premiere of Ti West’s super-creepy The House of the Devil.
From the press release
From Ti West, director of The Roost and The Innkeepers, comes slow brewing, old school psychological horror at its finest, freakiest, and most fiendish. With a terrific cult cast (Eating Raoul’s Mary Woronov, Monster Squad’s Tom Noonan, Et’s Dee Wallace), a superb synthesized rock and 80s hit soundtrack, and smartly nostalgic style to match, West’s occult chiller, shot in 2009, is eerily subtle before slamming home a tension-laden devilish finale.

The Last Place You Look: "Diary of a Hitman"
23 January 2012 5:31 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The cinephile's gaze has long appreciated the smaller, modest beauties of old films. (Not even "authored" films: I mean the beauties of the chaff as well as the wheat.) Yet the disposable, omnipresent, generic films of our more recent past are slowly seeping into historical perspective as well. What if a person were given a copy of The American Cinema and a discard box of VHS tapes, and simply told to work things out from there? What could we find by looking at these films and according their significant elements their tiny, absent fanfare?
Diary of a Hitman (Roy London, 1991)
Like a cross between Boiling Point (James B. Harris, 1990) and What Happened Was... (Tom Noonan, 1994), Diary of a Hitman constructs a scenario of generic neo-noir and talky, stagey, emotionally voluble interpersonal exchanges. The film is strange but not quirky, humble yet probing. Few movies have seemed to be such appropriate platforms for Whitaker's whispery, »
13 Films Premiere Digitally Via Sundance Artist Services

Conflict-of-interest note: As most of you know, I produce films in addition to editing Filmmaker. Others on our team do as well. “By filmmakers, for filmmakers,” our marketing tagline has long been, and I like to think that our experience gives the magazine insight as well as strong bullshit detector. Being aware of my multiple hats, however, I generally exclude projects I produce from the magazine and site. That’s why you’ve never read about films like Off the Black, Saving Face and Raising Victor Vargas in Filmmaker. (Sorry, directors!) But when it comes to the following story of interest to independent filmmakers, I’ll make an exception because it would be wrong to not cover it and disingenuous not to acknowledge my own films in this mix. Hopefully by adding my own experience I add something to the story. And if anyone wants advice on re-delivering 20-year old films, »

Hell on Wheels Review: Losing Your Head
9 January 2012 1:06 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Did that really just happen? Did the Reverend really cut off that Union soldier's head?
I had a feeling something bad was gonna go down, especially with the Reverend acting like he's been taking a massive dose of crazy pills recently.
Not only does he seem to let his white hair grow out, he doesn't really get dressed anymore, and he stumbles around with a creepy grin on his face. The Revered is clearly off his rocker and I love it.
Tom Noonan is giving a fantastic performance as Reverend Cole and even though I still think the change in character was sharply drastic and immediate, it's turned into something oddly compelling. Who would have thought that a man of God would turn into an extreme danger and problem?
It looks as if the outside danger of the Cheyenne is shifting back toward the in-the-camp danger. Once again, I'm surprised »

Hell on Wheels, Ep. 1.09, “Timeshel”: Objectives are getting more muddled

Airs sundays at 10Pm Et on AMC
If one was to forgo the storyline and simply pick tonight’s episode out at random they would be hard pressed to have a complaint. The acting was fine, the music was very good, and other than a few cliche cringes, particularly the opening slow motion montage, the direction was good. In fact, there were some shots in this episode to rival any show on television visually. Unfortunately for Hell on Wheels the main reason we watch shows of its kind is for the characters. When the characters are rich and full everything else the show positively does (visuals, acting, music) enhances the experience that much more. Ultimately we get a long, uninterrupted, cinematic breath.
If I am sounding like a broken record it is because this show, »
