Brooke Shields became a star and attracted mild controversy in this show, director Louis Malle’s first American production. Co-writer & producer Polly Platt and cinematographer Sven Nykvist collaborated on Malle’s fascinating look at life in a New Orleans brothel early in the 20th century. Prostitute Susan Sarandon raises two children in the upscale bawdy house, and art photographer Keith Carradine becomes an artist in residence. It’s a non-moralizing portrait of a bygone lifestyle. The handsome remastered release co-stars Diana Scarwid and Barbara Steele — and comes with a new interview with Brooke Shields.

This is the Pure Movies review of Route Irish, directed by Ken Loach and starring Mark Womack, Andrea Lowe, John Bishop, Trevor Williams and Stephen Lord. Written by David Hudson for Pure Movies. Director Ken Loach is known for his politically-charged work, and his latest, Route Irish, is no exception. Fergus (Mark Womack) is a former soldier who has subsequently earned good money working for a private security firm in Iraq. He convinces his best mate Frankie that he too can earn a small fortune by joining the same firm, and is therefore guilt-ridden when Frankie is killed when ambushed on the notoriously dangerous road to Baghdad airport (the ‘Route Irish’ of the title). The film opens with Fergus attending Frankie’s funeral in Liverpool, and joining Frankie’s family in seeking answers about his death from his employers. Pretty quickly, Fergus smells a cover-up and sets out to find...

Prom
Opens: April 29th 2011
Cast: Aimee Teegarden, Thomas McDonell, Danielle Campbell, Yin Chang
Director: Joe Nussbaum
Summary: Portrays the precarious passage from high school to independence as some relationships unravel and others ignite. For Nova Prescott, it’s a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school’s most seminal events.
Analysis: Disney's attempt at creating the next "High School Musical" franchise for itself, this teen romantic comedy is a batch of clique cliches - the beauty queen, the rebel with better hair than anyone else in the film, the handsome yet dumb foreign exchange student, the 'so above it' geek who really wants to belong, and at least one or two 'fugly' girls.
It's all very "The Breakfast Club" meets "10 Things I Hate About...

Actor Trevor Williams was reportedly left "shaken" after being waterboarded for scenes in Ken Loach's upcoming Iraq war drama Route Irish. Speaking at the Cannes press conference for the movie, Williams's co-star Mark Womack revealed that initial plans to fake the torture failed. Womack said: "It was very traumatic, for Trevor more than I, I'd imagine. We tried to cheat it with the use of a tube and we found that it wasn't working that way for us. "Trevor just went for it. I think we had to. If you're going to do something like that you've got to commit to do it as truthfully (more)...

Photo: Wild Bunch I have never seen a Ken Loach film, but if I time things properly I will be seeing his latest feature, Route Irish as it was announced this morning as the nineteenth and final entry into the Competition category and will have its first screening on May 20.
Cannes General Delegate Thierry Fremaux commented on that addition saying, "The opportunity of adding another film to the Competition brings the total number of films presented to 19. So it is manageable and we decided to go for it."
He also points out this isn't the first time last minute additions have been made, and to impressive results. "Gilles Jacob included Yilmaz Guney and et Serif Goren's film Yol, Andej Wajda's L'Homme de fer and Abbas Kiarostami's Le Goût de la cerise at the last minute. That's not the end of the story: all three won the Palme d'Or for that year.

We might be getting a double dose of the "Green Zone" in 2010. We have the actioner film by Paul Greengrass coming out in early 2010, and then we should see Ken Loach staking out this region in war-torn Baghdad with Dp Chris Menges by his side. - We might be getting a double dose of the "Green Zone" in 2010. We have the actioner film by Paul Greengrass coming out in early 2010, and then we should see Ken Loach staking out this region in war-torn Baghdad with Dp Chris Menges by his side. The film will see the debuts of Mark Womack and Andrea Lowe and supporting help from John Bishop, Trevor Williams and Talib Hamafraj. Scripted by Paul Laverty, Route Irish is set on the most dangerous stretch of road in Baghdad where a British mercenary soldier is killed under mysterious circumstances. The story of two men who work as...
