Recently completing one of the longest shoots of his career with The Irishman, most other directors would consider that an accomplishment enough, but in between takes, Martin Scorsese somehow found time to construct a new curriculum as part of his “The Story of Movies” film course, produced with his company Film Foundation. This latest edition is “Portraits of America: Democracy on Film” and is free for students. However, if one would just like to follow along with their own personal screenings, the full list is available.
“We all need to make sense of what we’re seeing. For young people born into this world now, it’s absolutely crucial that they get guided,” Scorsese says (via IndieWire). “They have to learn how to sort the differences between art and pure commerce, between cinema and content, between the secrets of images that are individually crafted and the secrets of images that are mass-produced.

Martin Scorsese and his nonprofit organization The Film Foundation have announced their brand-new film curriculum, “Portraits of America: Democracy on Film.” The curriculum is the latest addition to the group’s ongoing film course “The Story of Movies,” which aims to teach students how to read the language of film and place motion pictures in the context of history, art, and society. Both “Democracy on Film” and the course are completely free for schools and universities.
“Portraits of America: Democracy on Film” is broken down into eight different sections, all of which include in-depth looks at some of the most important American films ever made, from Chaplin to Ford, Coppola, Spielberg, and ultimately Scorsese himself. The program is presented in partnership with Afscme. Scorsese announced the curriculum at a March 27 press conference in New York City.

This is not a children’s story about a child. It’s an adult story about a family. Goodbye Christopher Robin illuminates the rather gloomy profile of author A.A. Milne and his family—principally his son, Christopher Robin—and the inspiration behind Winnie the Pooh and its wild success.
Whatever pre-conceived optimisms you have about this film, toss them out and refresh your expectations. This is not the snuggly-wuggly, starry-eyed portrayal you may have hoped for. Audiences expecting a partially animated, frolicsome romp will be largely disappointed when they find that their anticipated “hunny” pots and boisterous, bouncing tigers have been replaced with bits of adapted crude war footage and the minutiae of a writer-turned-veteran’s Ptsd-induced depression.
If you can get past that, then you’re in for a fairly satisfying ride, despite some meandering storylines. Though sad, it is a fascinating portrayal. Goodbye Christopher Robin explores the relationships...

Goodbye Christopher Robin gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children’s author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin (Will Tilston), whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his mother Daphne (Margot Robbie), and his nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the books; the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to England after the First World War. But with the eyes of the world on Christopher Robin, what will the cost be to the family?

In January 2017, fans of A.A. Milne celebrated the anniversary of his birthday which has become Winnie the Pooh Day. Biography.com posted a list about the British author earlier this year which you can see here.
In 2006, Winnie the Pooh received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking the 80th birthday of Milne’s creation.
Milne is most famous for his two Pooh books about a boy named Christopher Robin after his son, Christopher Robin Milne, and various characters inspired by his son’s stuffed animals, most notably the bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Christopher Robin Milne’s stuffed bear, originally named “Edward”, was renamed “Winnie-the-Pooh” after a Canadian black bear named Winnie (after Winnipeg), which was used as a military mascot in World War I, and left to London Zoo during the war. “The pooh” comes from a swan called “Pooh”. E. H. Shepard illustrated the original Pooh books,...

Mortdecai is ultimately a film held down by not knowing what it’s after. That means the film is planted firmly in the realm of being a theoretical failure, and you don’t overcome that easily. It’s either too silly,or not silly enough, and it seems a shame, because you’ve got a lot of talent here, and you have to guess that the novel (by Kyril Bonfiglioli) is brilliant.
Johnny Depp stars as Mortdecai, a difficult character to describe, largely because of the confusing aim. He’s got pieces of Clouseau in him, but he’s on the wrong side of the law, and his comedy draws far too much from his cleverness. He drops references in unusual circumstances that belie his education and upbringing, but he has a definite streak of foppishness to him as well, and at times he seems to be just plain idiotic.

Jeremy Irvine in Steven Spielberg's War Horse Following a series of disappointments this awards season, Steven Spielberg has finally had his two 2011 releases come out on top — at the Motion Picture Sound Editors Golden Reel Awards earlier this evening. War Horse won the Golden Reel for sound editing: sound effects and foley in a feature film, while The Adventures of Tintin won for sound editing: sound effects, foley, dialogue and Adr in an animation film. Martin Scorsese also had two of his films winning sound editing awards. George Harrison: Living in the Material World took the Golden Reel for sound editing: sound effects, foley, dialogue, Adr and music in a feature documentary, while Hugo won for sound editing: music in a feature film. The other motion picture winners were Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War for sound editing: sound effects, foley, dialogue, and Adr in a feature foreign language...

Jeremy Irvine, War Horse Tom Cruise/Ghost Protocol Surpasses Mission: Impossible III Total Domestic Take At the North American box office, trailing Tom Cruise/Jeremy Renner/Paula Patton's Mission: Impossible IV – Ghost Protocol and Robert Downey Jr/Jude Law/Noomi Rapace's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows was Mike Mitchell's Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked, which pulled in $18.25m at no. 3 according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. After 17 days, Chip-Wrecked has collected $94.6 million. Two years ago, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel collected $165.35 million during that same period. Since the picture is quite clear, I won't even bother attempting to adjust The Squeakquel's figure for inflation. Chip-Wrecked, which cost about $80m, features the voices and/or bodies of Jason Lee, Justin Long, Anna Faris, David Cross, Amy Poehler, Christina Applegate, and Matthew Gray Gubler. Now at 2,547 theaters, Steven Spielberg's War Horse is galloping at a slower pace.

Jeremy Irvine, Steven Spielberg on the set of War Horse Tom Cruise/Mission: Impossible 4, Robert Downey Jr/A Game Of Shadows Have Estimates Revised Upwards: Box Office Despite the presence of Matt Damon and former Woody Allen muse Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo brought in a revised $9.5m — nearly $2m more than originally estimated — at no. 6 as per studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Even so, the film's per-theater average was a mere $3,032 at 3,117 locations ($15.6m for the four-day weekend; average $5,005). As mentioned in a previous post, although figures will almost inevitably go up next weekend thanks to the New Year's holiday, We Bought a Zoo will have quite a bit of trouble matching — let alone recovering — its $50m budget domestically. Perhaps it's time for Cameron Crowe to pair up with Tom Cruise (Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky) once again. We Bought a Zoo, Crowe's first...

hollywoodnews.com: This year’s Oscar race may have seen its first frontrunner emerge from the pack, as Steven Spielberg’s “War Horse” began screening for guild and press members ahead of its Sunday sneak-peek screenings in 10 major markets.
The push by Disney/DreamWorks continues an effort that began last month, when Spielberg’s adaptation of Nick Stafford’s Tony Award-winning play galloped into heartland markets to play before a more mainstream crowd, who the film will have to win over when it opens on Christmas Day.
So far, the tactic appears to be working. The buzz swirling around “War Horse” this week suggests that Spielberg’s sentimental crowd-pleaser will be an Academy favorite. Academy affectionate fare like Michel Hazanavicius’ “The Artist” or Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo,” which some Oscar bloggers are suggesting might have a chance at a Best Picture nomination.

Established 1974! Our news column likes the casting of heroes.
Character Castings
Natalie Portman, action heroine of V For Vendetta and the Star Wars prequels, will play Jane Foster, the hero’s love interest in Thor. Early in the Marvel Comics mythos as seen in Journey Into Mystery (mid-1960s), Foster served as nurse to Dr. Donald Blake, the lame medico and human guise of the mighty Norse god Thor, and essentially fell in love with “both” of them. Eventually, Thor asked his all-knowing father Odin to make Foster into a god so as to further their romance. Foster’s use in the storyline all but promises fans that this movie will at least partially explore the early days of Thor’s adventures, that classic Stan Lee-Jack Kirby period that “made” the character. Kenneth Branagh is directing this Marvel Studios release due out in May 2011. Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek...
