Pierce Brosnan To Play Louis Xiv In The Moon And The Sun
7 May 2013 12:27 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Now here’s an interesting piece of casting news. Pierce Brosnan – you may remember him from a few little films in which he played a secret agent of sorts? – has been cast to play yet another iconic figure, this one from history. He’s set to play Louis Xiv, in the film The Moon And The Sun from Pandemonium.
If it seems like an odd casting choice for Brosnan to play King Louis, try this one: The Moon And The Sun is a fantasy adventure story adapted from Vonda McIntyre’s novel about Louis attempting to steal the life force from a mermaid (Fan Bingbing) in order to achieve immortality. The King’s daughter then falls for the mermaid’s keeper and tries to set them both free.
Pierce Brosnan. 17th Century France. Mermaids. I do not know if this is the greatest idea I’ve heard all day, or the worst. »

Observer film critic steps down
4 May 2013 4:20 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
His first column appeared in April 1963 and he would become the doyen of UK film critics. Having announced he will soon file his last column, he talks about meeting Chaplin, and Hollywood's greatest canine actors
Philip French's international reputation as a film critic is unrivalled. As recently as February, after a career with the Observer that began in 1963, an American film journal rated him as Britain's "greatest living movie analyst". But at the end of August he is to file his last column as this newspaper's film critic. After an illustrious half century, French, who was honoured with an OBE in January, has decided to step down following his 80th birthday the same month.
In his first column for the Observer, he bemoaned the lack of British films offering a believable picture of criminathe underworld. He noted "the tired vignettes of sub-Runyon characters" in The Small World of Sammy Lee starring Anthony Newley. »

I’m So Excited! review
1 May 2013 1:25 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Paul Martinovic 2 May 2013 - 06:47
Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar reteams with Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz in the comedy, I'm So Excited! Here's Paul's review...
Pedro Almodovar’s appearance on The Graham Norton Show last week to promote I’m So Excited! caused a number of startled cineastes to spit out their popcorn/dummies in dismay, as if by agreeing to appear on a late-night show with one of our most prominent mainstream presenters were in itself an act tantamount to cultural treason. What’s next, Steve Reich on Steve Wright In The Afternoon? Cormac McCarthy on The One Show?
This kind of cinematic snobbery is to be expected, of course, but those who insist on applying it to Almodovar are missing the point somewhat – sure, he's a gifted, politically conscious film-maker, a keen stylist and absolutely worthy of the auteur label and all that it implies, but he »

Exclusive: Dread Central Revisits Vamp with Co-Star Robert Rusler
30 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Anyone who knows me knows that I have some seriously mad love for the 1986 horror comedy cult classic Vamp, directed by Richard Wenk and starring Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler, Gedde Watanabe, Sandy Baron, Grace Jones and the delightful Dedee Pfeiffer.
While I'm still unsure of just how I talked my mom into renting Vamp for me in the first place, I can distinctly remember every single moment of the very first time I took this often overlooked gem home from the video store. While there had been several vampire movies in that era of genre filmmaking that I really loved as a kid, I always felt like Vamp was something totally different and weird- and I liked that.
For those of you who've never seen Vamp (last time I checked, it was on Netflix Instant), the movie follows two college kids named Keith (Makepeace) and Aj (Rusler), who have to »

Marlon Brando's 'On the Waterfront' Golden Globe sells for $68,500
1 April 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Marlon Brando didn't show up to collect his second Golden Globe in 1972 for "The Godfather," which should have signaled his upcoming rejection of the Oscar. After all, back in 1954, he was there to pick up his prize from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. when he won for "On the Waterfront." The HFPA, which only nominated three performers in each category back then, had snubbed Brando for his Oscar-nominated turns in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951), "Viva Zapata!" (1952) and "Julius Caesar" (1953). He lost those Oscar races to Humphrey Bogart ("The African Queen"), Gary Cooper ("High Noon") and William Holden ("Stalag 17") respectively. Determined to finally prevail, Brando changed his ways, becoming the prince of politeness with the press. As the La Times reported on his Globes appearance, “Unusual was the fact tha »
Top Ten 1950s
19 March 2013 5:14 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
This will be the last top ten off the top of my head whole decade thingies for a bit -- we need to get to real articles but I've been swamped off blog. But these discussions are fun, don't you agree? The 1950s were the first film decade I was obsessed with in that when I was first becoming interested in cinema in the mid 80s, the 50s somehow came to signify Mythic Classic Hollywood to me, though cinema obviously stretched much much further back. So I guess I'll always be kind of attached to this decade when the movies got literally bigger (I do so prefer rectangulars to squares) and the era's stars really defined (at least for me) the concept of "Movie Star". I mean it's hard to argue with Liz, Brando, Clift, Dean, Monroe in all caps.
Which is why Giant is such a perfect 1950s movie »

What Did The First Televised Academy Awards Look Like?
19 March 2013 6:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Sixty years ago, in 1953, the red carpet was unfolded, the envelopes were opened under the gleam of the Hollywood spotlight and a legacy was born that only continues to become more glamorous. It was the first televised version of the Academy Awards.
As one might imagine, things were a bit different back then. Despite being the first telecast, it was the 25th time the Academy handed out its little gold men. Whereas today's ceremony is held exclusively in Hollywood, the 25th annual Academy Awards were conducted simultaneously at Hollywood's Rko Pantages Theatre and at New York City's now-nonexistent NBC International Theatre.
Cecil B. DeMille's "The Greatest Show on Earth" swept Best Picture out from under the heavily favored "High Noon," which managed to collect Best Actor for Gary Cooper. Shirley Booth nabbed Best Actress for her performance in "Come Back, Little Sheba." The night's other big winner was "The Bad and the Beautiful, »

Never been a contender? Buy Brando's 'On the Waterfront' Golden Globe
13 March 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Marlon Brando didn't show up to collect his second Best Actor Oscar in 1972 for "The Godfather," sending an actress in his stead to decline as a protest to Hollywood's portrayal of Native Americans. However, back in 1954 Brando was keen to win the award, after being skunked three previous times. His losing streak began in 1951 when his "Streetcar Named Desire" castmates (Vivien Leigh, Karl Malden, Kim Hunter) prevailed in the other three acting categories but Brando was bested by Humphrey Bogart ("The African Queen"). The following year, he lost his bid for "Viva Zapata!" to Gary Cooper ("High Noon") while in 1953 his nod for "Julius Caesar" was edged out by William Holden ("Stalag 17"). Brando had been surly and uncooperative while on the derby track those three times. So he switched strategies. First up was the Golden Globes on Feb. 24.

Oh, look, Bo’s in a blindfold. Mmmm, finally some kinky sexytimes for her and the good doctor. Wait, what’s that chirping noise? Are there vibrators that make a chirping noise? Dammit, it’s just some dumb good luck cricket. Well it’s very disappointing for all parties involved, especially me.
Bo continues her “training” for The Dawning. Though I think this task is more like the Fae equivalent of looking for a four-leaf clover. She fails, because have you ever tried to find a four-leaf clover? It’s hard. Everyone is a little cranky and exhausted because it’s all over but for the waiting of the invitation now.
Bo wishes Kenzi was with her to cheer her up with a perfectly timed zinger. But Trick’s all, “Humans, bad. Taint sacred Fae puberty ritual. Also, cooties.” Or something like that. I don’t know, »

Photo: First Look At Nicole Kidman As The Stunning Grace Kelly
26 February 2013 7:50 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The first official images of Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly have been released and the resemblance is certainly striking.
Nicole plays Kelly in the upcoming biopic, "Grace of Monaco," about the legendary Hollywood beauty who gave up her acting career for the royal throne when she married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, the Telegraph notes.

The first images of Kidman as Kelly show the Australian actress embodying the "High Noon" star's style, with frothy dresses and head scarves.
The 45-year-old portrays the Princess of Monaco between December 1961 and November 1962, when she was in her 30s trying to help her country during a time of political turmoil, Collider reports.
On Sunday, Deadline.com revealed that The Weinstein Company is finalizing a deal to acquire the domestic rights to Olivier Dahan's "Grace Of Monaco." The film is set to be released in December, in the middle of awards season, »

Nicole Kidman's Photos as "Grace of Monaco": Princess Grace or Disgrace?
26 February 2013 6:52 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Ah, Grace Kelly. For a woman who so clearly didn't earn her Oscar, she remains a classic star who earns my respect, tender appeciation, and dumbfounded gaze. She's one of the few untouchable, yet vulnerable Hollywood stars (very Karen Carpenter, if you ask me), and because Rear Window is probably the greatest movie of all time, I'll be first in line to see Grace of Monaco, a biopic of Kelly starring Nicole Kidman that comes out in December. The movie already has Weinstein backing, so it may be a frontrunner for next year's Academy Awards. That's right, it's two days after the Oscars and the anticipation for next year is already building.
Though Kelly's children have called the movie a "needlessly glamorized" and historically inaccurate movie, I'm willing to betray them and lap up Kidman's radiance as Grace. Two new stills of Kidman as the »

Kirk Douglas is down but not out in Champion.
Kirk Douglas (Paths of Glory) stars as an unscrupulous boxer who fights his way to the top, but eventually alienates all of the people who helped him on the way up in the 1949 film noir drama Champion.
Midge Kelly (Douglas), hitchhiking west with his crippled brother Connie (Arthur Kennedy, Lawrence of Arabia), is hustled unprepared into a pro boxing match. Though he’s severely beaten, his manager (Paul Stewart, Kiss Me Deadly) finds him promising. In California, Midge and Connie find nothing but menial jobs, from which Midge gets relief by seducing a lovely young waitress (Ruth Roman, Strangers on a Train). One shotgun marriage later, ambitious Midge falls back on the only option he knows: boxing. Seduced by the cheering crowds, money, and women, Midge becomes more and more of a hero in public… »

Americans love zombies because they remind us of the Wild West | Steven Schlozman
11 February 2013 6:41 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A good zombie movie, like the best of American values, is about finding a way to get along with each other
The Walking Dead is immensely popular on TV and Warm Bodies is cleaning up at the box office. The venerable London Science Museum hosted a festival last month focusing wholly on the epistemology of zombies. I even wrote a zombie novel that is being adapted for film by George Romero himself. The popularity of this particular metaphor continues to grow beyond the wildest dreams of horror enthusiasts.
As a psychiatrist, as a popular culture enthusiast, and as a teller of zombie tales, I must admit that I've pondered this particularly bizarre phenomenon a good deal. Like most complex occurrences, I'd argue that the explanations for zombie-mania throughout the United States (and beyond) are multi-faceted and inter-related.
