The Joy of 'Revenge': Why ABC's Prime Time Soap Needn't Be a Guilty Pleasure
24 May 2012 8:44 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Summer is over, at least in the Hamptons of "Revenge," which winterized its summer cottages and packed up for the end of its first season last night in a flurry of confrontations, last-minute betrayals and possible deaths. It was a immensely satisfying 22-episode run for the new series, which was created by Mike Kelley and executive produced and sometimes directed by filmmaker Phillip Noyce, a modern day, female-centric reimagining of Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo." To call "Revenge" a guilty pleasure is to imply there's something to be embarrassed about -- the show's overcooked, but never anything less than solid, effortlessly establishing itself as prime trash TV with glancing moments of larger resonance. It's not "The Sopranos," but in its twisty tale of a young woman infiltrating the historic beachside enclave of New York's most wealthy and powerful with aims to bring down those who've never...

Blu-ray Review: ‘The Three Musketeers’ Remake Fails to Justify Its Existence
27 March 2012 6:43 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – In a subpar, mediocre and entirely disposable sort of way, Paul W.S. Anderson’s “The Three Musketeers” could prove diverting for undiscerning viewers, particularly those in the lower double digits. Everyone else has already steered clear of this unnecessary remake helmed by the king of junk entertainment, who mistakenly believed this dreck would lead to a franchise.
Every shot in this overlong, aggressively shallow enterprise looks like it cost millions, but the script penned by Alex Litvak (“Predators”) and Andrew Davies (“Bridget Jones’s Diary”) isn’t worth five bucks. Expected cliché after expected cliché is stitched together with the precision of a factory assembly line, leaving absolutely no room for any modicum of suspense or surprise. As in his interminable “Resident Evil” series, Anderson merely takes generic set-pieces and amps them up with loud effects, flashy visuals and mind-numbing spectacle.
Blu-ray Rating: 2.0/5.0
“Musketeers” isn’t even the best »

The Three Musketeers - Blu-ray Review
21 March 2012 6:16 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
Alexandre Dumas' heroes get an action-packed, CGI slick makeover in Paul W. S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers. While it might not be the best adaptation of Dumas' classic story, the film is popcorn fun and so over-the-top it is hard not to find something to enjoy. Based on Dumas' novel, the film's screenplay was written by Andrew Davies (Brideshead Revisited) and Alex Litvak (Predators) and stars Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma), Matthew Macfadyen (Robin Hood), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil), Luke Evans (Immortals), Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), Christoph Waltz (The Green Hornet), Mads Mikkelsen, Orlando Bloom, Gabriella Wilde, Juno Temple, Freddie Fox, Til Schweiger, and Carsten Norgaard. The film opens on a quick history lesson of the state of »

‘The Three Musketeers’ Drinking Game
12 March 2012 12:52 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There have literally been dozens of adaptations of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel The Three Musketeers… even more if you count sequels, adaptations of other Dumas books (like The Man in the Iron Mask) and even Peter Hyams’ whackety-schmackety The Musketeer with martial arts fight choreography. Forget Charlie Sheen and the Disney version. This new film features 3D, impossible sci-fi action elements and Orlando Bloom acting as a proper dandy. If that’s not an incentive to drink, I don’t know what is. Being a film about famous Frenchmen, I’d suggest a nice French wine for this movie. Of course, considering it has the flavor of a big, dumb American action film, you’d also do fine with a case of Schlitz. And now, to cover our butts… This game is only for people over the age of 21. Please drink responsibly, and don’t go to Orlando Bloom for fashion advice. Take »

'Three Musketeers' Clip: Logan Lerman Says 'En Garde!'
12 March 2012 12:46 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
He might not be one of the titular legendary swordsmen, but d'Artagnan can certainly hold his own in this exclusive clip from the Blu-ray release of "The Three Musketeers."
The special edition disc hits stores on March 13th, but we have a clip from the film to get you in the mood for some swashbuckling.
In the clip, the young hero, Logan Lerman as d'Artagnan, fends off a host of bladed attackers as his companions, the Three Musketeers, look on and frankly, don't offer enough help. Not that he needs any. He kicks a great deal of ass all by himself.
Directed by the man behind the "Resident Evil" films, Paul W.S. Anderson, "The Three Musketeers" is a highly stylized take on the classic Alexandre Dumas tales. Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans and Ray Stevenson star as the musketeers. The film also features Milla Jovovich and Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz. »

Review: The Three Musketeers
12 March 2012 10:08 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
Like most Americans, I learned about Alexander Dumas’ Three Musketeers from their countless adaptations on screen and in print. For me, it was probably Sheldon Mayer’s Three Mouseketeers reprints along with the rallying cry of “One for all, and all for one” shouted by just about every cartoon, sitcom and prime time drama at one point or another. Sure, there was the delightful two film adaptation made by Ilya Salkind that was instrumental in their approach to Superman the Movie and my kids grew up adoring the somewhat boiled down, tongue-slightly-in-cheek version from Disney with a great cast (Oliver Platt, Kiefer Sutherland, Tim Curry, etc.). It wasn’t until last year that I actually read the book in its entirety and it was a revelation.

Blu-ray Review: The Confusing, Terrible Action Scenes (And Everything Else) of The Three Musketeers
12 March 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
I'm completely unqualified to speculate on what motivated wonderful actors like Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz, Mads Mikkelsen, or Til Schweiger to lend their time to Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers. This latest take on Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling work certainly couldn't have had much going for it on the page, given how clunky, awkward, and awful most of the dialog is, how relentlessly unpleasant the heroes are, and worse, how entirely lacking in fun the whole movie is. And let me quantify "fun" here, if I may: it's any time the events onscreen push forward in a way that makes you excited and or intrigued about what's coming next as opposed to grimly aware that you've been watching The Three Musketeers for 45 minutes »
The Three Musketeers 3D Blu-ray Review!

The Movie Pool gets a Milla Jovovich fix from The Three Musketeers 3D Blu-ray!
The Set-up
The Musketeers must foil a plot by Milady (Milla Jovovich) and the Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom) against the French king and queen. Also stars Logan Lerman and Ray Stevenson.
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson
The Delivery
Director Paul W.S. Anderson's 3D take on The Three Musketeers is unlike any other adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas classic. Other takes may have emphasized the comedy or the action, but this film takes the interpretation to a whole other level. Anderson's Musketeers is outrageous, silly, historically inaccurate, loud, and totally preposterous. It is also incredibly entertaining, an impressive guilty pleasure if there ever was one.
Anderson has been widely criticized as a director for his over-the-top films, but you cannot deny that they are fun to watch. The Resident Evil films, starring his real-life wife Milla Jovovich, »

Blu-ray Review: Three Musketeers
10 March 2012 5:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Paul W.S. Anderson's The Three Musketeers arrives on 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on March 13. I have enjoyed watching the various incarnations of this classic tale over the years, with some being better than others. A number of great actors have portrayed the Musketeers over the years. In this incarnation Matthew Macfayden (Frost/Nixon) plays Athos, Ray Stevenson (The Punisher) plays Porthos, Luke Evans (Immortals, Clash of the Titans) plays Aramis, and Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson & the Olympians) plays D'Artagnan.
The supporting cast includes Orlando Bloom (Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean films), Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil films) and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). The story follows the Musketeers as they embark on a dangerous and legendary mission across Europe to save both their King and country – “all for one and one for all.”
I did not see this in theaters, but enjoyed it more than I expected on Blu-ray. »

The Daily Beast: "Revenge is not only winking noir, it’s a retribution fantasy for the 99 percent"
29 February 2012 7:26 AM, PST | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
ABC’s hit nighttime soap Revenge is not only winking noir, it’s a retribution fantasy for the 99 percent. Over at The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, in which I visit the set of Revenge and talk to its creator, Mike Kelley, and cast members--including Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, and Gabriel Mann--about the show’s popularity. It’s difficult to escape the narrative lure that ABC’s nighttime soap Revenge—equal parts vengeance fantasy, noir-tinged thriller, and sprawling character-based soap—casts in its wake. The drama (Wednesdays at 10 p.m), inspired by Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo, has been featured everywhere from the cover of Entertainment Weekly to a sumptuous Oscar-night promo. Every one of its deliriously unexpected plot twists is voraciously dissected on Twitter by the Revenge faithful, captivated by the show’s premise: a young woman, Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), returns »

Andrew Davies, who adapted Evelyn Waugh's "Brideshead Revisited," Alexander Dumas' "The Three Musketeers" and Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones' Diary" for the big screen, will write the latest iteration of the fairy tale.

Alexandre Dumas‘ novel is perhaps one of the most adapted for the big screen, and the 2011 The Three Musketeers movie is closer to the source material than the 1993 film of the same name.
Matthew Macfadyen (The Pillars of the Earth), Luke Evans (Immortals) and Ray Stevenson (Thor) play the Three Musketeers in the 2011 version, with Logan Lerman (Gamer) as hot-headed D’Artagnan. The three once-legendary French swashbucklers are now down on their luck but are called to reunite for a new mission. They must defeat Milady de Winter (Milla Jovovich, Stone), a beautiful double agent whose villainous employer has his eyes set on the French throne and pushing Europe into war.

DVD Release Date: April 3, 2012
Price: DVD $19.95
Studio: Hen’s Tooth
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. let's his sword do the talking in The Corsican Brothers.
The 1941 action-adventure film The Corsican Brothers, adapted from the 1844 novella by Alexandre Dumas, stars the incomparable Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (The Mark of Zorro).
Hen’s Tooth’s DVD release marks the first time the Gregory Ratoff-directed movie has ever been issued on disc.
There’s plenty of swordplay and swashbuckling adventure in Dumas’ tale of identical twins Lucien and Mario, separated as infants, and raised unaware of each other’s existence. One becomes a Parisian gentleman, the other a country bandit.
When they are reunited as adults (both played by Fairbanks), they seek revenge on the evil Baron (Akim Tamiroff) who plundered their homestead and robbed them of their birthright. Complications arise when both fall in love with the same beautiful Countess (Ruth Warrick, Citizen Kane »
