With Durbin Gone, Who's Still Around from the '30s?
7 May 2013 3:41 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Oscar winners Olivia de Havilland and Luise Rainer among movie stars of the 1930s still alive With the passing of Deanna Durbin this past April, only a handful of movie stars of the 1930s remain on Planet Earth. Below is a (I believe) full list of surviving Hollywood "movie stars of the 1930s," in addition to a handful of secondary players, chiefly those who achieved stardom in the ensuing decade. Note: There’s only one male performer on the list — and curiously, four of the five child actresses listed below were born in April. (Please scroll down to check out the list of Oscar winners at the 75th Academy Awards, held on March 23, 2003, as seen in the picture above. Click on the photo to enlarge it. © A.M.P.A.S.) Two-time Oscar winner and London resident Luise Rainer (The Great Ziegfeld, The Good Earth, The Great Waltz), 103 last January »

How Many of the Movies from Roger Ebert's List of Great Movies Have You Seen?
10 April 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I've mentioned before how several years ago I created a list using Roger Ebert's Great Movies, Oscar Best Picture winners, IMDb's Top 250, etc. and began going through them doing my best to see as many of the films on these lists that I had not seen as I possibly could to up my film I.Q. Well, someone has gone through the exhaustive effort to take all of the films Roger Ebert wrote about in his three "Great Movies" books, all of which are compiled on his website and added them to a Letterbxd list and I've added that list below. I'm not positive every movie on his list is here, but by my count there are 363 different titles listed (more if you count the trilogies, the Up docs and Decalogue) and of those 363, I have personally seen 229 and have added an * next to those I've seen. Clearly I have some work to do, »

‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ a mixed bag of adventure and excessive CGI
28 February 2013 9:05 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Bryan Singer
Written by Darren Lemke, Christopher McQuarrie, and Dan Studney
USA, 2013
Perhaps it’s fitting that a literal tug of war is pivotal in Jack the Giant Slayer, a large-scale blockbuster retelling of the famous fairy tale about Jack and the magical beanstalk. The film itself appears to represent a creative tug of war, a battle of wills between creativity and commerce. On the one hand, it’s a product of a crass decision to fashion some would-be epic out of a familiar story in the public domain. On the other hand, it has elements of a cheeky throwback to the adventure films in the days where Errol Flynn ruled. With these options warring with each other, sometimes in the same scene, Jack the Giant Slayer is a sometimes charming, sometimes stagnant CGI-infused action film.

Dakota Fanning To Play Teenage Lover In The Last Of Robin Hood
25 January 2013 11:23 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
It has been confirmed that the eighteen year old actress, Dakota Fanning, will star in the upcoming film The Last of Robin Hood, which is based on the true story of Errol Flynn, the flirtatious Hollywood, swashbuckler star who was known for his role in the 1938 movie, The Adventures of Robin Hood. Fanning will portray the fifteen year old mistress of Kelvin Kline’s forty-eight year old character, Errol Flynn. The movie also features Susan Sarandon, who will play the mother to Fanning’s character.
The Last of Robin Hood captures the story of Flynn’s hedonistic life, which included a lot of scandal and statutory rape charges. At the age of forty-eight, Flynn became enamored with the teenage actress Beverly Aadland. The two then began an affair, even though he was married to Patrice Wymore. Flynn expressed a desire to perform with Aadland in Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film, Lolita. »

Dakota Fanning Cast As Kevin Kline's Girlfriend In The Last Of Robin Hood
24 January 2013 7:02 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Yes. You read that correctly. 18-year-old ingénue Dakota Fanning will be playing the girlfriend to 65-year-old Kevin Kline in the upcoming drama The Last Of Robin Hood. Even as someone who crushed on Kline in middle school over French Kiss, this headline gave me pause. But would it make you feel better to know this isn't some sort of hint toward the age gap between romantic leads growing exponentially? Instead, this shocking May-December match-up has been made because the movie is based on a true story. As we reported last fall, The Last Of Robin Hood is a biopic about famous film swashbuckler Errol Flynn, best know for the 1938 action epic The Adventures of Robin Hood. Kline will star as Flynn, who at 48 began pursuing a 15-year-old actress Beverly Aadland with the complete blessing of her stage mom Florence Aadland. Susan Sarandon will play Florence, and Deadline reports Fanning »
Kevin Kline to play Errol Flynn in tale of notorious Hollywood sex scandal

New biopic of silver screen star will feature Dakota Fanning as 15-year-old girl with whom he had two-year affair
It is one of Hollywood's most infamous sex scandals: the story of how the swashbuckling Errol Flynn conducted a two-year affair with a 15-year-old ingenue that lasted until his premature death in 1959. Now Dakota Fanning is set to play the young actor seduced by the 50-year-old Flynn in a new movie titled The Last of Robin Hood. Kevin Kline will play the faded star in his final years.
At the time of the affair Flynn, who had a reputation as an incorrigible womaniser, had already been accused – and found not guilty – of the statutory rape of two underage girls in 1942. According to the target of his attentions, Beverly Aadland, he was planning to marry her after securing a divorce from his third wife, Patrice Wymore. However, the Australian-born star of 1938's »
