Leonard Maltin and 'Lady For a Day' at the Paramount
15 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Tickets are currently on sale for a special screening of Frank Capra's 1933 film Lady for a Day at the Paramount. On hand to introduce the movie, and to talk more about classic films in general, will be film critic and historian Leonard Maltin. Maltin was one of the proponents for making this movie available on Blu-ray, and the event will include a rare 35mm projection of the classic, thanks to a loan from the Capra estate.
Lady for a Day is early Capra, made before he really burst on the scene with his big hit It Happened One Night. It's adapted from a Damon Runyon story by Robert Riskin, who continued to team up with Capra on many other movies in the 1930s and early 1940s.
The movie stars May Robson (whom I know best for her role as the daunting Aunt Elizabeth/Mrs. Carlton-Random in my favorite Bringing Up Baby) as Apple Annie, »

Curio: Kate Curiosities
6 May 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Alexa here kicking off a theme week at Tfe, featuring a very special actress. This Sunday I will not only celebrate Mother's Day but also the birthday of the inimitable (well, except by Catherine O'Hara) Katharine Hepburn with a viewing of Bringing Up Baby, Manic Pixieness be damned.
Hepburn quote art, available here and here.
It's always been a goal of mine to follow her lead, except for the playing golf part, which I will never, ever do. She supplies all the wisdom any woman needs to get through life on quotes alone. After the jump, some Kate art, collectibles and curiosities... including a life mask? »

'Brief Encounter' beats 'Casablanca' to top romantic film
24 April 2013 4:31 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Brief Encounter has beaten Casablanca to the title of 'Best Romantic Film' in a new list for Time Out London.
The list was compiled with input from 101 industry experts, including actor Richard Gere, directors Judd Apatow and Edgar Wright, and Miss Piggy of The Muppets.
> Read the full top 100 on the 'Time Out' website
Time Out London's film editor Dave Calhoun said: "What makes the Time Out list so exciting and unusual is that it's not just the opinion of three sun-starved film critics sitting in a darkened room and writing a list.
"Instead, we got off our sofas and asked 101 real experts in movies and romance for their personal take on the matter - and our top 100 romantic films reflects their very personal choices."
Topping the list was David Lean's 1946 drama Brief Encounter, written by Noël Coward and starring Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway and Joyce Carey. »
When did men become kooky ones in romcoms?
18 April 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
In the great romcoms of old, it was the women who were a bit nuts. But in Love is All You Need and Silver Linings Playbook, it's the other way round …
If ever one needed a excuse to flip, the heroine of Love is All You Need would appear to have an embarrassment of riches. She has had surgery for cancer and just finished a bout of chemo, the long-term efficiency of which she doubts. She returns home from hospital to find her husband of 25 years shagging a colleague on their couch. He leaves her, then the following week shows up with the colleague – to whom he's now engaged – at the wedding of their daughter in Italy. Their son can't come as he's serving as a soldier in a warzone.
And yet she remains, throughout, perfectly peaceful and sanguine. She starts sane and she ends sane – her hopes get mashed »

10 Internet Memes And Their Cinematic Counterparts
12 April 2013 1:46 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Internet Memes are what happens when the hive mind of the internet meets the short attention span of the character-limit generation. Where once a person may have written a full story to explore characters, now we have character observations boiled down to their purest form and injected straight into our veins. One image, two captions; a moment’s foreplay, then punch line.
These images work as jokes because of our preconceptions about their characters, having already encountered people like that in our lives, and seen them played out in countless popular films and TV shows. Indeed, many of these images involve screen caps of movies, capitalising on our familiarity with that character to make their point.
In this article I will present the cinematic equivalent of ten of these Internet Memes. For the purpose of this list, I will omit any Internet Meme derived directly from a film (Condescending Wonka, »

10 Romantic Comedies That Aren’t Completely Insulting
27 March 2013 2:56 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The romantic comedy, or “rom-com”, has become a staple genre in which Hollywood can perpetuate upon couples, yearning for a breezy date. But, there is an inherent problem with the modern day romantic comedy. From the start, the film is not the question of whether or not the two gorgeous looking stars will get together, but how they will get together. The formula inevitably brings forth the structure of the two stars either meeting in a cute way or in a precarious situation. Then the relationship goes through its ups and downs as the leading lady will probably fall down in a “hilarious”, slapsticky way, while the guy probably takes off his shirt.
Then again, this was exactly the structure that some of the best romantic comedies of all time, from “The Apartment” to “Bringing Up Baby”, have followed. The question then becomes, why modern day “rom-coms” feel so contrived nowadays. »

It's Andy !It's "Reader Appreciation Month". So we're talking to a reader a day. Get to know The Film Experience community. Today we're talking to Andy Hoglund a '20something living that rock star life'. He writes for The Inclusive
What's your first movie memory?
Andy: When I was 4 my dad took me to a screening of Pinocchio. I know I probably had watched movies before then (Mary Poppins on VHS), but this is my first legitimate memory of going to the movies. Sitting in a darkened theater, fully immersed -- there’s really nothing comparable to it, I’d say.
I was infatuated with the Universal Horror monster movies. Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man. I still remember – at 4 – watching AMC’s 2pm Monster movie every Saturday. It is rumored that I have seen Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man over 50 times. I actually once sent Vincent Price a letter when »

Blu-ray Review: Howlingly Funny ‘Best in Show’ is a Comic Masterpiece
8 March 2013 2:49 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The more one is familiar with the art of improv, the more one is bound to fall head over heels in love with the mockumentaries of Christopher Guest. Working from a mere scene outline, Guest and his ensemble of top-drawer comedians bring a colorful assortment of richly eccentric oddballs to life. Their ad-libbed dialogue is infinitely funnier than scripted punchlines since it emerges organically from their character’s own warped worldview.
2000’s “Best in Show” is Guest’s most merciless satire and also his funniest. It ranks right alongside “Bringing Up Baby,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Airplane!” as one of the greatest comedies ever made. It has stood the test of time, proving to be funnier with each subsequent viewing, while providing viewers with countless quotable lines and a wealth of side-splitting sequences. Few comedies in the last decade have delivered as many genuine laughs.
Blu-ray Rating: 5.0/5.0

Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine – romcoms used to be anything but bland
With this year's Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, Hollywood is attempting to get down and dirty with real people and real problems. But Us films are notoriously bad at this. I Give It a Year is a British comedy about falling out of love – not a romcom, more of a romp-incomp. But whatever happened to the simple idea of the innocently zany finding love?

Being abnormal used to be normal. In movies such as The Apartment (1960), it was redemptive. Cc Baxter (Jack Lemmon) and Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine) are outsiders who've missed the boat, careerwise and hopewise. She's wasting her time on a married man, while Baxter is caught in a sexual vortex established by his superiors, who have clandestine trysts in his apartment while "Buddy Boy" gets »

Trailers from Hell: Larry Karaszewski on Peter Bogdanovich's 'What's Up, Doc?,' Starring Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal
1 February 2013 8:00 AM, PST | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Comedy Classics! week concludes at Trailers from Hell with screenwriter Larry Karaszewski introducing Peter Bogdanovich's "What's Up, Doc?," one of the biggest comedy hits of the early '70s. Following up on his dramatic breakthrough with The Last Picture show, movie scholar turned director Peter Bogdanovich evokes '30s screwball comedies and classic Looney Tunes in this self-consciously wacky homage to Bringing Up Baby. As befits the brief post Easy Rider era when directors were as famous as stars, this is an unusually auteur-centered trailer. »

Clip joint: The top five 'meet cutes'
23 January 2013 9:36 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A 'meet cute' is a plot device enabling the first meeting of a film's romantic lead characters. The rest, dear viewer, is history
Each week one reader offers up five of their favourite film clips on a subject of their choosing – and we ask you to tell us what other movie scenes should have been included. This week's is from john Carvill, who previously wrote a clip joint on taking the train.
If you've got an idea for a future clip joint, email adam.boult@guardian.co.uk.
The 'meet cute' is Hollywood screenwriters' name for a standard plot device in which a couple meet in a way that's charming, ironic, or just generally amusing.
Golden age film-makers such as Billy Wilder used to stockpile ideas for meet cutes, and Wilder was sufficiently adept at dreaming them up that he talked his way out of studio objections to his idea »

Music in Film: Do you hear the people sing?
23 January 2013 3:13 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Ivan Radford Jan 24, 2013
In the wake of Les Misérables' success, Ivan takes a look at how the musical has reinvented itself in the modern era...
Do you hear the people sing? The refrain, bellowed by fans of Les Misérables whenever a French flag is in sight, was given a new meaning when Tom Hooper’s magnificent adaptation of the musical arrived in cinemas earlier this month. Because for the first time in years, we really could hear them - live, on camera.
It's an inspired decision by director Tom Hooper, who ignored the usual route of actors recording a track beforehand and miming for the cameras and instead gave them all an earpiece connected to a piano and told them to let their vocal chords rip.
The result? A cast full of people acting rather than lip-syncing - a raw edge often missing from studio song-fests. It's a »

Forget Ryan Gosling, We'll Take Cary Grant
17 January 2013 12:57 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There was never anybody quite like Cary Grant.
And honestly, there never will be. Today's "hottest" actors don't hold a candle to Grant, the screen legend who stood 6'2" and had the kind of face that was both handsome and innocent. His [bearing] could be aristocratic, exaggerated for comedic effect in films like "The Philadelphia Story," as the wry playboy Ck Dexter Haven. (And who else could get away with pushing Katherine Hepburn to the ground?) He could be the wide-eyed innocent, like the professor driven to slight madness in the screwball comedy "Bringing Up Baby" or the bumbling writer in "Arsenic and Old Lace." But those same brown eyes could read cold, in thrillers like "Suspicion." (It seems unfair to limit this retrospective to a handful of Grant's many great contributions to film during his 40-year career, but there you go.)
But no matter what the role was, Grant's style was effortless. »

75 Years of Manic Pixie Dream Girls - Video Supercut
12 January 2013 11:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
A film critic by the name of Nathan Rabin coined the phrase "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" as a way to describe Kirsten Dunst’s role in Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown. He described this Manic Pixie Dream Girl as being "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." Here's a great video compilation that pays tribute to 75 years of these type of female characters. The movie comes from Flavorwire, and it turned out great!
75 Years of Manic Pixie Dream Girls from Flavorwire on Vimeo.
Featuring (in order of appearance):
Natalie Portman – Garden State
Diane Keaton – Annie Hall
Charlize Theron – Sweet November
Jennifer Aniston – Along Came Polly
Barbra Streisand – What’s Up, Doc?
Julie Andrews – The Sound of Music
