Q&A: David Hasselhoff Shares a 'Piranha 3Dd'-Like Experience
6 hours ago | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
When you see a movie like "Piranha 3Dd," you know what you're getting into. You can expect excessive gore and even more excessive nudity wrapped in a hilariously campy package. Interviewing its star David Hasselhoff is another story.
Between "Knight Rider," "Baywatch" and the tabloids, the man is an icon of epic proportions, as he'll gladly tell you himself. But, regardless of how you see the aging star, he's still filled with ambition, ideas and a shocking amount of energy.
And he's in on the joke.
In the movie, he plays himself, hired to be the celebrity appearance at the opening day of a skeezy water park. Needless to say, he doesn't really want to be there. In reality, he's willing to laugh about similarly embarrassing gigs and, well, just about everything.
Was the humor in "Piranha 3Dd" what made you want to do the movie?

David Hasselhoff Eyeing a 'Gone With the Wind' Remake?!
29 May 2012 4:41 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
As if starring in this weekend's "Piranha 3Dd" wasn't a clue, David Hasselhoff hasn't stopped dreaming big.
During our exclusive interview for the horror flick, the "Baywatch" icon kept dropping hints about a yet-to-be-announced remake he's hoping to star in: one of the 1939 classic, "Gone With the Wind."
Hasselhoff began our chat expressing that his manager was less than pleased with him for taking the gig in the campy horror film. "He wants me to do a 'Knight Rider' film or Nick Fury, which I was supposed to do, or a remake of 'Gone With the Wind,'" he explained.
Later, after a laundry list of all the "beautiful" women in his life (his daughters, his girlfriend), he shared, "Hopefully the 'Gone With the Wind' will come, hopefully something great will happen."
Needless to say, we had to ask who he might like to see »

The 50 greatest matte paintings of all time
27 May 2012 5:35 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
The art of the glass shot or matte painting is one which originated very much in the early ‘teens’ of the silent era. Pioneer film maker, director, cameraman and visual effects inventor Norman Dawn is generally acknowledged as the father of the painted matte composite, with other visionary film makers such as Ferdinand Pinney Earle, Walter Hall and Walter Percy Day being heralded as making vast contributions to the trick process in the early 1920’s.
Boiled down, the matte process is one whereby a limited film set may be extended to whatever, or wherever the director’s imagination dictates with the employment of a matte artist. In it’s most pure form, the artist would set up a large plate of clear glass in front of the motion picture camera upon which he would carefully paint in new scenery an ornate period ceiling, snow capped mountains, a Gothic castle or even an alien world. »
Why the world needs Val Kilmer
11 May 2012 7:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
He could have been another Brad Pitt. Instead he's doing one-man stage shows. Is it time for a rescue plan?
For some time now, I have belonged to a secret society known as the League of Rueful Val Kilmer Enthusiasts. It consists of men of a certain age who adore Tombstone and Heat, and who also have a soft spot for The Doors and The Ghost and the Darkness. And, of course, Top Gun. What unites the members of the league is our affection for the actor himself, mingled with regret that Kilmer did not become the intergalactically famous star we wanted him to be. We also resent the fact that he did not make more movies like Heat while he was young and athletic enough to pull it off.
Because now it is too late. Kilmer has reached the point in his career where he is performing in a one-man show called Citizen Twain, »

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up
8 May 2012 1:38 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
War Horse; Strippers vs Werewolves; Four; Buck
Among the charges most regularly levelled at Steven Spielberg is that his movies are over-egged puddings that trade in rank melodrama and infantilising sentimentality. A whinnying chorus of such dismissive jeers greeted the arrival of War Horse (2011, DreamWorks, 12) late last year, with some predictably sniffy manure being thrown at this most populist auteur's emotional Grand National. Admittedly neither understatement nor brevity has ever been Spielberg's strong point, hence the much repeated joke: War Horse walks into a bar, barman says: "Why the long film?"
Yet to complain that this nostalgically cinematic adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's bestselling book (and feted stage adaptation) is somewhat soft around the edges is to forget that the source story was specifically aimed at younger readers. No, this is not a four-legged revisiting of the beach scenes from Saving Private Ryan, which portrayed the horrors of war in shockingly visceral form. »

DVD Playhouse – May 2012
By Allen Gardner
Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.
Being John Malkovich (Criterion) Spike Jonze’s madcap film of Charlie Kaufman’s script, regarding a socially-disenfranchised puppeteer (John Cusack) who finds a portal into the mind of actor »

5 Unmade Movies From Spaghetti Western Maestro Sergio Leone
30 April 2012 9:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
For someone who's considered one of the greatest filmmakers in history, Sergio Leone was not especially prolific. While he worked extensively as an assistant director (with credits including "Bicycle Thieves," "Quo Vadis" and "Ben Hur"), he was only credited on seven films across his thirty-year career (with uncredited direction work on three others -- "The Last Days Of Pompeii," "My Name Is Nobody" and "A Genius, Two Partners and A Dupe").
But given that those films include some of the greatest Westerns -- the Man With No Name trilogy, and "Once Upon A Time In The West" -- and a wonderful crime epic, "Once Upon A Time In America," it's hard not to mourn that we didn't get more films from the director, who passed away 23 years ago today, on April 30th, 1989. But it wasn't for a lack of trying, as there were a number of other projects that Leone considered, »

Blue Carreon: A Conversation With Decorator and Reality TV Star Mary McDonald
27 April 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
On the reality television show Million Dollar Decorators, Mary McDonald won viewers with her lush and stunning design projects as well as with her biting sense of humor. Since then, she's pretty much become a household name.
But long before the show went on air, Mary was already a much-sought-after decorator. Her design aesthetic is hard to pin down because she is able to flex her design muscles based on her client's wishes. But she does this without ever losing her own brand of style. It could be ultra glam on one project then masculine and tailored on the next. One thing is for certain, though: there is always an element of surprise -- something unexpected and unorthodox -- in her rooms. You can read about and view her design genius in her book Mary McDonald Interiors: The Allure of Style .
Below, Mary talks about great ideas and being naughty »

Philip Jenkinson obituary
23 April 2012 8:29 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Presenter of the BBC's Late Night Line-Up and Film Night, he was a wildly enthusiastic historian of the cinema
The broadcaster, journalist and film collector Philip Jenkinson, who has died aged 76, was for a few years one of the most popular and familiar faces on British television. His ubiquity was such that the Monty Python team saw fit to satirise him as a machine-gunned victim in a spoof on Sam Peckinpah's movies. He was also enrolled into that hall of fame accorded to guests of the Morecambe and Wise show. In a 1977 Christmas special, he and a gaggle of co-presenters, all dressed in sailor suits, performed There Is Nothing Like a Dame.
Such celebrity might not have come his way had he not been noticed, in 1967, by the BBC producer Mike Appleton, who attended a film lecture given by Jenkinson at St Martin's School of Art, in London. »

Mindy Newell: Books, Banned and Burned
23 April 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
This one’s for Martha …
Nothing like a good book to get the rabble-rousers going.
In Field Of Dreams, Ray Kinsella’s wife, played by Amy Madigan, successfully shuts down the effort to ban Terence Mann’s books from the local Iowa school system. Terence Mann – played by James Earl Jones – was based on J.D. Salinger, the reclusive author of Catcher In The Rye.
Catcher was published in 1951, and has pretty much stayed on “attempts to ban it” lists since its publication. In fact, it was the most censored book in America from 1961 to 1982, even though, according to Wikipedia, it was the “second most taught book in United States public schools.” It most recently reappeared on the “most challenged books” list, published by American Library Association, in 2009.
These are some of the books I remember being on the curriculum when I was in school, along some that I missed because »

It's been a while since I've given a damn about romance in Hollywood
22 April 2012 12:40 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Guy and I have something in common (other than the fact that we both write for In Contention). Producer David O. Selznick’s seminal Civil War epic “Gone with the Wind” stands out for each of us as one of our most beloved films of all time. The film won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture and has remained a significant part of our cinematic history for over 70 years. I was introduced to the adaptation one Sunday afternoon as an 11-year-old and soon found myself obsessed with all things to do with the production. I had biographies of Selznick, each of »

Rebecca, Spellbound and Notorious Blu-ray Reviews
21 April 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
There are many ups and downs in Alfred Hitchcock’s long and varied career. From the British filmmaker who was learning his craft to the skilled thriller filmmaker we know today, there were many periods of uncertainy and compromise in his filmography. After proving his mastery with such films as The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes in England, Hitch was invited to America to work for David O. Selznick. It led to Rebecca, Spellbound and Notorious, which Fox has now put out on Blu-ray, and through the three you can see Hitchhcock learning how to work in America while retaining and refining his voice. Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, and Cary Grant star in the movies, and our review of the three follow after the jump. 1940’s Rebecca was Hitch’s first American production. He worked from a novel by Daphne Du Maurier (who wrote the book »

Clara Bow, Andrei Tarkovsky, Audrey Hepburn Movies
20 April 2012 7:23 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Clara Bow, Mantrap What do Andrei Tarkovsky, Edward G. Robinson, Clara Bow, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Audrey Hepburn have in common? Easy. They'll all be featured in some form or other at the Library of Congress' Packard Campus in Culpeper, Virginia, in May. [Packard Campus screening schedule.] Andrei Tarkovsky will be represented by the classic sci-fier Solaris (1971), billed as the Soviet Union's answer to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and by the classic period drama Andrei Rublev (1969), a meditation on art, religion, spirituality, and human brutality and stupidity. A technicality: Solaris will actually be screened on April 27. Edward G. Robinson stars in The Little Giant (1933), a pre-Code crime comedy featuring Mary Astor. The (at the time) energetic Roy Del Ruth (The Maltese Falcon, Taxi!, Employees' Entrance) directed. Clara Bow is the star of Mantrap (1926), a fluffy romantic comedy of interest chiefly because of Bow and because neither of her two leading »

'Cape Fear' 50th Anniversary: Robert Mitchum's Max Cady Fathers Modern Movie Villainy
18 April 2012 4:57 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
For some reason, Robert Mitchum's Max Cady in the original "Cape Fear" lands at only No. 28 on the AFI's list of the top 50 on-screen villains of all time. (That's just one notch above Mitchum's Rev. Harry Powell in "Night of the Hunter," a similarly terrifying killer, the one with "L-o-v-e" and "H-a-t-e" tattooed on his knuckles.) Really, Mitchum's Cady ought to be much higher up. After all, there are plenty of stalkers and murderers on the list, but how many also imbue their characters with such a perverse air of sexual menace? Only a handful: Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) in "Blue Velvet," Noah Cross (John Huston) in "Chinatown," Alex De Large (Malcolm McDowell) in "A Clockwork Orange," and Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) in "Psycho." "Psycho" was clearly a touchstone for "Cape Fear," which marks its 50th anniversary this month. Besides a villain with a dark sexual history and twisted tastes, »

Elgin James To Follow Up Debut 'Little Birds' With Hostage Thriller 'Come Sundown'
17 April 2012 5:37 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
As a former street thug-turned-real-life-Omar Little-turned-filmmaker, Elgin James is definitely looking to make up for lost time. The Boston native has teamed up with Electric City Entertainment duo Jamie Patricof ("Half Nelson," "Blue Valentine") and Lynette Howell to helm the indie hostage thriller "Come Sundown," a project that will mark his second effort behind the camera after his Sundance 2011 feature "Little Birds."
After his debut film unveiled to a warm reception at Park City, James' colorful past came back to haunt him with an attempted extortion charge forcing him to spend a year in in L.A.'s Metro Detention Center. The writer-director apparently stayed indoors throughout his time there catching up with classic films ("Gone With The Wind") and reading 101 books including the fiction of Pat Conroy. Now out, James will tackle this hostage tale scripted by Justin Marks ("The Stranger," '20,000 Leagues') which follows "a family taken hostage »

Clark Gable's Son's Girlfriend Found Dead
13 April 2012 9:17 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Malibu, Calif. -- The girlfriend of Clark Gable's only son has died in the couple's Malibu home.
The body of 41-year-old Christiane Candice Lange was found by John Clark Gable at 9:40 a.m. Wednesday.
Los Angeles County coroner's office spokesman Ed Winter said Friday that it appears to be a possible natural death and foul play isn't suspected. There is a security hold on the case and Winter says he cannot release any other information.
Sheriff's Deputy Guillermina Saldana says homicide detectives were called to the home after the body was discovered. Saldana says the investigation is continuing.
John Clark Gable is the only son of late "Gone With the Wind" star Clark Gable. He was born shortly after his father died of a heart attack at age 59 in 1960. »

'A Streetcar Named Desire': 25 Things You Didn't Know About The Marlon Brando Movie
10 April 2012 9:42 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Hey, Stellaaaaa! Fire up the Blu-ray player! 1951's "A Streetcar Named Desire" marked the 60th anniversary of its release last September. Now, seven months later, fans will have the opportunity to relive the classic flick with a special-edition Blu-ray release. That's as good an excuse as any to revisit this landmark film, which opened up Hollywood to movies with strictly adult content and -- thanks to Marlon Brando's legendary performance -- Method acting. The film forced the medium into a new, raw, emotional, mature kind of expression, and, six decades later, it has lost none of its power to shock and astonish. Of course, what went on behind the scenes of the steamy Southern story was nearly as dramatic as the on-screen tale. Read on for more about the film's casting (can you imagine Bette Davis as Blanche?), Vivien Leigh's witty takedown of director Elia Kazan, and the »
