Mill Creek 50 Movie Packs Discount Code And Giveaway
10 May 2012 7:32 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »
If you’ve hunted around for movie bargains, you’ve probably seen some of Mill Creek Entertainment’s 50-Movie Packs on DVD. Apart from other great releases by Mill Creek, these packs are phenomenal boons to cinephiles looking to collect older titles.
There are three new packs available, and I want to not only let you in on a discount code, but I have one of the packs available for you to win.
I know a lot of people may be quick to overlook these packs, and not every movie included stands out as a major value, but there are some great titles in each of them, and fans of the genres will be pleasantly surprised by what they get out of the deal. I have to admit that there is something about seeing a 50-movie pack, especially when it doesn’t cost a couple of hundred dollars, or more, »

Hollywood’s Hobo In Residence
9 May 2012 9:55 PM, PDT | Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy | See recent Leonard Maltin's Movie Crazy news »
Had I not been lucky enough to see William Wellman’s 1928 silent film Beggars of Life years ago, or read the works of Gene Fowler, I might not know about Jim Tully, the scrappy Irish-American who became celebrated for writing about the subject he knew best: the hardscrabble life of an orphan turned boxer turned “road kid.” His most successful book (an autobiography in novel form), Beggars of Life came to the screen with Wallace Beery, Richard Arlen, and Louise Brooks in the leading roles…and ironically, the onetime hobo spent the last twenty years of his life in Hollywood, paying the bills by writing first for Charlie Chaplin, and then for a variety of fan magazines...

2 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
This new era of re-releases has definitely got its perks.

Cinemark Theaters will play Wings – the first Best Picture Oscar winner – in select theaters on Wednesdays May 2nd and 16th. Those participating theaters can be found on the Cinemark website.

Wings Criterion Blu-ray Review
29 February 2012 1:00 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It is a sad fact of film history that, for much of its existence, the movie studios did not appreciate the value of their creations as archive-worthy artistic endeavors---let alone public interest in props, costumes and other tools of the trade (which only truly came to the forefront during the famous 1970 MGM auction). As such, many---and, in the case of silent films, the majority---movies have been lost for good. Every now and then, one such lost work resurfaces, but those that do are fewer than not. It is almost inconceivable to us now that, of all movies, the very first Oscar winner for Best Picture (then "Best Picture, Production"), William A. Wellman’s Wings, could at one time have been lost, but such was indeed the case. Fortunately for future cinephile generations, Wings is also among the few lost films that have been found. Hit the jump for our review of the Blu-ray. »

Wings Blu-ray Review
10 February 2012 11:33 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
It seems quite serendipitous that just as 2011's ode to the silent film era, The Artist, is receiving all sorts of praise and accolades that Paramount should release its 1927 silent masterpiece, Wings, for the first time on Blu-ray.
Directed by "Wild Bill" Wellman, Wings tells the story of Jack Powell (Charles Rogers) and David Armstrong (Richard Arlen), small town lads who both have their eye on the same lady; Sylvia Lewis (Jobyna Ralston). Jack and David are both vying for the affections of Ms. Lewis, although she solely has her sights set on David. Despite her lack of reciprocation, Jack remains persistent in his pursuit, making him also blind to his lovely neighbor Mary (Clara Bow) practically throwing herself at him at every turn.
It's not long before the boys get sent off to war, both becoming aviators. What began as a romantic tale quickly becomes one of the most »
Blu-ray Review: Stunning Restoration of ‘Wings,’ First Best Picture Winner
3 February 2012 2:36 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – By today’s standards, “Wings” would be more expensive than any movie ever made. That’s what an undertaking this legendary film was for Paramount in the ’20s. The biggest studio in the world set out to make the biggest film in history, presenting viewers with things they had never seen before and pushing the boundaries of what was capable on celluloid. Sadly, “Wings” has somewhat become an answer to a trivia question and the remarkable quality of the film itself has been underappreciated by time. This glorious Blu-ray restoration should help fix that oversight.
Blu-ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
As the Blu-ray version of the film opens, the Paramount logo cycles back through its different iterations, arriving at what it was in 1927 when “Wings” was released. It’s a brilliant overture, taking us back in time. A sepia-tinged plane flies overhead and the gloriously-reconstructed score, which was rerecorded by a modern »

George Lucas: One (mega) hit wonder?
25 January 2012 6:45 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
It’s a phrase out of the music industry: one-hit wonders. Those bands that come out of nowhere, hit the top of the charts with a catchy – maybe even impressive – single, or have one chart-topping album, and then never seem to be able to hit that sweet spot again. Anybody remember Boston’s second album? Another hit single after “96 Tears” from Jay and the Mysterians?
But they’re not alone. There’s not an area of entertainment where the phenomenon doesn’t exist. Rod Serling never topped The Twilight Zone, and Chris Carter never came up with another series as good as The X Files. Fitzgerald wrote a lot of impressive stuff, but never matched The Great Gatsby, and drank himself to death over it (well, Zelda being crazy didn’t help). Michael Cimino copped an Oscar for The Deer Hunter (1978), and then began a long, spectacular flameout.
It happens. »

18 January 2012 12:18 PM, PST | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
With The Artist making waves on the awards circuit, it’s no surprise that a screening of the silent movie classic Wings would be a hot ticket. The 1927 war movie, which starred Clara Bow, Charles Rodgers and Richard Arlen, was the first movie to win the best picture Academy Award. It screened accompanied by a live organ Tuesday night at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theatre as part of Paramount’s just-launched 100th anniversary celebration.

Frederica Sagor Pt.2: Women Screenwriters in 1920s Hollywood
6 January 2012 7:03 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Screenwriter Frederica Sagor Dead at 111: Wrote Movies for Norma Shearer (photo), Clara Bow, Louise Brooks Now, whether Frederica Sagor's Hollywood Babylon-like tales bear any resemblance to what actually happened at studio parties and private soirees, I can't tell. But on the professional side, one problem with the information found in The Shocking Miss Pilgrim is that studios invariably used numerous writers, whether male or female, in their projects. Usually, in those pre-Writers Guild days, only two or three contributors received final credit, not because of the uncredited writer's gender but in large part because the final product oftentimes had little — if anything — in common with the original source. While doing research for my Ramon Novarro biography, I went through various drafts, written by various hands, of his movies. A Certain Young Man, for instance, went through so many changes (including director, cast, and title), that the final film »
