Scott Feinberg’S Top 10 Films Of ’10
26 December 2010 7:59 PM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
Please Note: The following rankings and remarks reflect my personal opinions and do/will not in any way impact my projections or analysis on this site, wherein I strive above all else to correctly forecast what will happen, not what I believe should happen. My demonstrated ability to do that over the years is what has led most of you to my site, and any failure to do that will undoubtedly lead you away from it, so you can rest assured that I mean it when I say that one has/will have no bearing on the other.
Scott Feinberg’s Top 10 Films of 2010
1. “The Social Network” (Columbia, 10/1, PG-13, trailer)
I distinctly remember sitting in a movie theater over the summer when the first teaser for “the Facebook movie” began playing, prompting groans and snickering all around me — stuff along the lines of, “What’s it gonna be about? A server crashing? »

DVD Playhouse December 2010
By
Allen Gardner
America Lost And Found: The Bbs Story (Criterion) Perhaps the best DVD box set released this year, this ultimate cinefile stocking stuffer offered up by Criterion, the Rolls-Royce of home video labels, features seven seminal works from the late ‘60s-early ‘70s that were brought to life by cutting edge producers Bert Schneider, Steve Blauner and director/producer Bob Rafelson, the principals of Bbs Productions. In chronological order: Head (1968) star the Monkees, the manufactured (by Rafelson, et al), American answer to the Beatles who, like it or not, did make an impact on popular culture, particularly in this utterly surreal piece of cinematic anarchy (co-written by Jack Nicholson, who has a cameo), which was largely dismissed upon its initial release, but is now regarded as a counterculture classic. Easy Rider (1969) is arguably regarded as the seminal ‘60s picture, about two hippie drug dealers (director Dennis Hopper »

Interview: Ryan Gosling, World’S Finest Actor Age 30-or-under?
19 December 2010 1:24 PM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
Earlier this month, I spoke by telephone for about 20 minutes with the 30-year-old actor Ryan Gosling, who has since been nominated for a Golden Globe for best actor (drama) for his extraordinary performance opposite an equally impressive Michelle Williams (also Globe-nominated) in Derek Cianfrance’s controversial “Blue Valentine.”
Click Here To Listen To The Audio Of Our Conversation!
Over the course of our conversation, we discussed Gosling’s childhood moviegoing memories and favorites; his first acting gig, at the age of 12, on the Disney Channel’s “The Mickey Mouse Club” (1993-1995); his first major film role, as a young Jew who becomes a virulent anti-Semite in “The Believer” (2001), which led him to take acting more seriously, and which led the industry to take him more seriously; his thoughts on “The Notebook” (2004), the blockbuster chick-flick that made him the heartthrob of girls the world over; his experience with the low-budget “Half Nelson »

*Live Blog* The Hollywood Reporter's Actors Roundtable

Y'all remember when I did this for the ladies so I figure it's twin-time. You have to have both pieces of a matching set. Not that I'm looking forward to this one as much. Impress or surprise me fellas! You're not actresses so you have to work harder to provide Film Experience jollies. (If you have time to watch the full video it's at the bottom of the post.)
1:00 Robert Duvall (Get Low) tells a rambling story about becoming an actor and reveals "my brothers were both professional singers." The Duvall Brothers, eh? I so wanna hear that record. Would it be like the Osmonds except with less smiling?
3:00 The discussion turns to acting as a rewarding profession. Colin Firth (The King's Speech) picks up this Duvall baton.
"You get to play all your life. Most people have to grow out of it. The fantasy thing stays alive which is wonderful. »

Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando in Elia Kazan's A Streetcar Named Desire (top); Ernest Borgnine, Betsy Blair in Delbert Mann's Marty (middle); Patricia Neal, Andy Griffith in Kazan's A Face in the Crowd (bottom) Moguls & Movie Stars, A History of Hollywood: The Attack of the Small Screens is the next chapter of Turner Classic Movies' seven-part Moguls & Movie Stars documentary, which will be shown twice tonight, at 5 and 8 p.m. Pt. The appropriately titled "The Attack of the Small Screens" tells the story of how television got perilously close to destroying the movies in the late '40s and early '50s. Hollywood, in fact, was attacked not only by Milton Berle and I Love Lucy, but also by the U.S. government: right-wingers went after liberals ("Communists"), destroying lives and careers, while the antitrust guys demanded that the studios divest themselves from their exhibition arms.

MovieRetriever's 100 Greatest Movies: #60 A Streetcar Named Desire

Dec 01, 2010
Partisans of America's Broadway stage, the "fabulous invalid" of 1920s, when pessimists feared that talking pictures would lure new generations away from live theatre, were greatly heartened when after the early successes of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (1945), and Arthur Miller's All My Sons (1947), the promising newcomers followed up their success with A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and Death of a Salesman (1949). World War II over, a glorious new theatrical era appeared to be underway. However, the two dazzling Expressionist tragedies proved the climax of the period of psychodrama between the ...Read more at MovieRetriever.com »
Continuing the Conversations...
18 November 2010 3:37 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Though I had a won-der-ful time on vacation, I do love the movie conversations. Some recent comments I wanted to respond to (for the patient and/or longwinded-like-me among you).
Clint totally approves of the Jodie Foster casting of God of Carnage (I agree that it's interesting and I hope she pulls it off) but I'm sure he'll be relieved to hear that Matt Dillon is no longer with the film. Not me.
Er... okay, I don't know which husband is which.
I was actually just discussing this with friends recently who had all seen the play and were kind of annoyed that John C Reilly will be playing Kate Winslet Jodie Foster's husband. He's not... handsome. Hollywood loves to pair anything from average to ugly men with ridiculously beautiful women, but it's clearly audience pandering to feed male ego fantasies: i.e. I can have / deserve to have a supermodel in my bed, »

Tma’s 100 Greatest Movies of All Time
13 November 2010 10:27 AM, PST | The Moving Arts Journal | See recent The Moving Arts Journal news »
You will not like something about this list. In your mind, undeserving inclusions and unthinkable omissions probably abound. That is as it should be. Film, for all the scholarship, expertise and pretense that surrounds it, remains, like all art, firmly subjective. Feel free to tell us what we missed, what we misplaced, or congratulate us on a job well done, if you feel so inclined. Just remember to keep it clean, civil and respectful. With that said, these are The Moving Arts Film Journal’s 100 Greatest Movies of All Time:
#1. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968, Kubrick)
#2. Citizen Kane (1941, Welles)
#3. The Godfather (1972, Coppola)
#4. Andrei Rublev (1966, Tarkovsky)

cinematic roots of: ‘For Colored Girls’
10 November 2010 6:34 PM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
No movie springs from a vacuum. There are always influences from past examples of the genre, from the previous work of the filmmakers and stars, even from similar films that don’t quite work. If you want to understand where a movie is coming from, take a look at where it’s coming from. In For Colored Girls, Tyler Perry makes his first foray into serious drama -- instead of asinine comedy -- about the lives of contemporary black Americans. This flick sprang from (among other films): • Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) -- written by Perry and starring For Colored Girls’ Kimberly Elise -- which opens with the kind of domestic-abuse melodrama that his new film deals with head on, but bizarrely instantly veers away into slapstick comedy. • The Princess and the Frog (2009), for more from another of Girls’ cast, see -- or, rather, hear -- Anika Noni Rose »

Kazan, Cazale and More DVDs
9 November 2010 1:43 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
The Elia Kazan Collection, featuring 15 films and Martin Scorsese and Kent Jones's A Letter to Elia, is clearly the release of the week. "Gathering every feature Kazan made between 1945 and 1963," writes Sam Adams in the Los Angeles Times, "including five not previously released on DVD, in a handsome two-volume set that also includes an illustrated coffee-table book, the collection fills some major gaps in his body of work, especially toward its end. Considering the familiarity of Kazan's best-known films — [On the Waterfront], East of Eden, A Streetcar Named Desire and A Face in the Crowd, for starters — it's hard to imagine one of his greatest could have been almost forgotten. But a single viewing of 1960's Wild River confirms that. With its vivid colors and engrossing CinemaScope compositions, Wild River is visually enthralling in a manner more characteristic of contemporaries like Nicholas Ray and Vincente Minnelli than Kazan." »
Interview: Michelle Williams (“Blue Valentine”), Reluctant Star
8 November 2010 2:45 AM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »
Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of spending about 45-minutes on the telephone with Michelle Williams, who is not only one of America’s finest actresses — and, at 30, will probably remain one of them for decades to come — but who is also a deeply intelligent woman; a devoted single mother; and a real survivor. (She’s also not bad on the eyes!)
Williams became a star at the tender age of 17 on the hit TV show “Dawson’s Creek” (1998-2003) — I remember when it happened because I’m about the same age as her and often tuned in. She proved that she had the acting chops to match her looks in a number of early films, but especially “Brokeback Mountain” (2005), for which she received a best supporting actress Oscar nod. She attracted the interest of the tabloids when she first began dating her “Brokeback” co-star Heath Ledger, with whom she would eventually have a daughter, »

Eisenberg vs. Damon? The Youngest Best Actor Nominees!

"Do I have your full attention?"
Whilst continuing my "Best in Show" column for Tribeca Film, I decided it was high time to highlight Jesse Eisenberg from The Social Network and this is why. Here at The Film Experience though, it's time for Oscar trivia! Though I would love to see Eisenberg win traction for Best Actor, he has something else working against him besides the subdued performance: his age.
Youngest Best Actor NomineesAnd where Eisenberg would fit in, were he to be nominated.
Disclaimer/Bragging: You won't find info this extensive elsewhere! The Official Oscar site / Wikipedia only offer top tens. However the following info is approximate. Though the Academy's top ten is down to the day of the actual nominations, they don't provide official nomination dates only ceremony dates. Inside Oscar and Wikipedia also only list the ceremony dates so we're just using February 1st, ∞ as a general »

Recommended Viewing: HBO's Sins of My Father & PBS' A Letter to Elia
4 October 2010 2:25 PM, PDT | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
Tonite, you've got the choice of not one, but two documentary films making their television premieres. After Venice, Telluride and Nyff premieres, PBS are wasting no time in releasing Martin Scorsese/Kent Jones documentary A Letter To Elia on American Masters [9:00-10:30 Pm/Et]. Kazan the honoree was not always so reserved and retiring. Elia Kazan the director bravely and artfully confronted some of the more pressing social issues of his time: topics such as class division, bigotry and corruption. His courage and talent behind the camera delivered some of Hollywood’s most unforgettable cinematic achievements, such as A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), On the Waterfront (1954) and East of Eden (1955). His leadership and tutelage elicited Oscar®-Winning performances from screen greats such as Vivien Leigh, Anthony Quinn, Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint.

Joel Edgerton On Set Interview The Thing
4 October 2010 9:00 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A few months ago I got to visit the set of The Thing (the prequel to John Carpenter’s classic film with the same name) and while on set I got to speak to almost the entire cast – along with a few other online reporters. As you might imagine, getting to visit the set was an awesome experience and you can read all about it here.
Anyway, the lead in The Thing is a great Australian actor named Joel Edgerton. If you saw the movie Animal Kingdom, he was one of the leads in that. But since most of you probably missed it, perhaps you recognize him from Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith as he played Owen Lars.
During the on set interview, Edgerton talked about why Australians are playing American alpha male characters, doing accents, if he feels any pressure being the lead in a big science fiction film, »

A Centennial Salute to Composer Alex North
Beverly Hills, CA: The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences will celebrate the career of Alex North (1910-1991), the 15-time Oscar®-nominated composer, with a centennial salute featuring a screening of The Misfits (1961) on Friday, September 24, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The event also will include film clips and an onstage discussion hosted by journalist and film-music historian Jon Burlingame, with Oscar-nominated composer Laurence Rosenthal, producer Steven North (Alex’s son), and North’s biographer Sanya Henderson.
Between 1951 and 1984, North received 14 Academy Award® nominations for Original Score and 1 for Song. He finally took home an Oscar statuette in 1985 when he was presented with an Honorary Award “in recognition of his brilliant artistry in the creation of memorable music for a host of distinguished motion pictures.”

Totally 'Normal'

Performing opposite each other is nothing new for real-life married couple Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley. They met while doing Charles L. Mee's production of "The Trojan Women: A Love Story" Off-Broadway, playing the iconic lovers Dido and Aeneas—admittedly within the parameters of Mee's quirky spin. The actors subsequently tackled Lizzie and Starbuck in "110 in the Shade" at the Pasadena Playhouse, and Fiona and Tommy in L.A.'s Reprise production of "Brigadoon." Danieley and Mazzie sing together in cabarets, concert halls, and on a CD (dubbed, appropriately enough, "Opposite You").Still, none of their joint ventures was on Broadway, though individually each boasts a roster of Broadway, Off-Broadway, and regional credits. As they tell it, acting together on Broadway had been a long-standing dream. The two actors love lighthearted fare, they insist, but were seeking meaty, serious roles, citing "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" as a project they'd »
