MovieRetriever's 100 Greatest Movies: #41 Dr. Strangelove; Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Dec 29, 2010
Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, which has won wide and continued acceptance from the time of its release, has come to be considered one of the screen's great masterpieces of black comedy. Yet Kubrick had originally planned the film as a serious adaptation of Peter George's Red Alert, a novel concerned with the demented General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and his decision to order a group of B-52 bombers to launch an attack inside Russia. Gradually Kubrick's attitude toward his material changed: "My idea of doing it as a nightmare comedy came in the ...Read more at MovieRetriever.com »
Cinema (Il)Literacy 101 – Merry X-Mas
19 December 2010 3:24 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
It’s that time of year when film pundits present their readers with the Christmas gift of their end-of-year choices: 10 Best lists, 10 Worst lists, 10 This and 10 That lists.
I can’t do that kind of list. Having two small children, I rarely get to see a movie that isn’t animated or involves talking animals, and more often incorporates both.
So, my Christmas gift to you is a rather different kind of list, but it needs a bit of explanation.
For some time, it has been my ambition to share my passion for movies with others by teaching some sort course in film appreciation. This fall, I got my wish. However, the scenario didn’t quite play out as I had envisioned.
The setting was a for-profit university generally organized as something akin to a white collar trade school. Curriculums were very profession-focused, lacking much of the broad cultural base »

The Studio Auteur: Stanley Kubrick
15 December 2010 3:38 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Throughout the 1960s-early 1970s, a combination of financial desperation, creative daring, and an adventurous movie-going public had produced a creative detonation in mainstream American movies not seen before or since. Each year of the period seemed to bring at least one mightily ambitious visual experiment by a new contributor to the commercial movie scene, the “look” of that effort being as much a part of its identity as its characters and story. One could pick no better representative of the trend than Stanley Kubrick, for no director of the time so extended the boundaries of mainstream commercial filmmaking, or what it meant to be a mainstream commercial filmmaker.
For the most part, Kubrick’s professional ascent was built on the taking of standard genres – the war story, science fiction tale, sword-and-sandal epic – and twisting them into shapes so singular that each Kubrick outing became an acknowledged one-of-a-kind classic. Paths of Glory »

Remembering Elaine Kaufman, owner of New York restaurant institution Elaine's
3 December 2010 4:06 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I had a perfect introduction to Elaine’s, Elaine Kaufman’s legendary New York City restaurant: I was first brought there in what must have been the winter of 1980 by the late, great Claudia Cohen, then editor of the New York Post’s Page Six. Claudia knew everybody, from Elaine’s favorite strays, seated at what was known as the Family Table, across from the bar, to all the regular bold-face names. We got our own table, not far from one that included Claudia’s recent paramour Albert Finney, then starring as Daddy Warbucks in Annie. Plunging into the banter among the tables, »

Blu-Ray Review: Salon Kitty
21 November 2010 2:39 PM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Tinto Brass has always had a touch for making exploitative movies that look like real movies. This is not an insult. It is the truth. His command of sleazy grandeur is probably why Bob Guccione handed him the reigns to Caligula. A new uncensored cut of Brass' Salon Kitty (1976) from Blue Underground shows the director near the height of his filthy powers. This isn't just regular trash. This is really artful trash.
Kitty Kellerman (played by Ingrid Thulin) runs Salon Kitty -- a brothel where the German elite come to relax. An amorphously perverse Nazi general named Wallenberg (Helmet Burger) forces Kitty to move to a new building, which is wired for spying, and swaps out her trusted stable with a bunch of SS spies. In the middle of all of this scheming is a committed Nazi concubine named Margherita (Teresa Ann Savoy).
Salon Kitty is based on a non-fiction book by Peter Norden. »
Entertainer of the Year: Stephen Colbert Makes No. 4!
16 November 2010 12:52 PM, PST | Extra | See recent Extra news »
Political satirist Stephen Colbert comes in at No. 4 in "Extra's" Entertainer of the Year poll.
Surprising? Not really. Since the comedian took his "The Daily Show" persona and created his own Comedy Central show "The Colbert Report" in 2005, his particular slant on today's political scene has been a hit, mixing comedy with politics.
This year has been an especially hilarious one for the bombastic host, in which he has skewered everything from the oil spill, »

Paths of Glory: Criterion Collection Blu-ray Review
16 November 2010 7:42 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
"If the little sweethearts won't face German bullets, they'll face French ones!"
Paths of Glory (1957) includes only a single battle sequence which may seem strange for an "anti-war film." 28-year old director Stanley Kubrick (2001, Dr. Strangelove), just coming into his classic style of objectivist cinema, envisions the Wwi French attempt to take "the Ant Hill" from German opposition with expert craftsmanship. Yet, while the utter futility of the endeavor is made abundantly clear, the visual style is too antiseptic to be an effective treaty against the horrors of war. Even more telling is the enemy's presence never being directly shown but only inferred from weapon fire on the battlefield.
Rather than the devastation of combat, Paths delves into class divisions, greed for power and the entailing corruption within the French military bureaucracy. Astute critics have pointed out that these are regrettable but not uncommon human shortcomings restricted to armed combat. »

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)

Interview: ‘Four Lions’ Filmmaker Chris Morris Explores Absurdity of Terrorism
11 November 2010 6:01 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Chris Morris has never been the type of comic to shy away from controversy. His uncompromising, fiercely satirical work has consistently broke ground and raised eyebrows, from his acclaimed BBC Radio broadcasts to his award-winning TV shows “The Day Today,” “Brass Eye” and “Jam,” which gained notoriety for their refusal to treat any subject as sacred.
For his feature filmmaking debut, Morris has decided to tackle perhaps his most squirm-inducing subject yet: terrorism. His new comedy, “Four Lions,” centers on a group of British jihadists as they plan out their mode of attack. The ensemble of characters—led by Omar (Riz Ahmed), Waj (Kayvan Novak), and Barry (Nigel Lindsay)—are depicted not as cartoonish monsters, but as misguided, fallible and often dim-witted human beings, much like the politicians in last year’s equally shrewd satire, “In the Loop” (both films were co-written by Jesse Armstrong). Though these young men may hate western culture, »

Blu-Ray Review: Stanley Kubrick’s Timeless ‘Paths of Glory’ Joins Criterion Collection
3 November 2010 11:40 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” No film has as succinctly captured the truth of this brilliant Samuel Johnson quote as Stanley Kubrick’s masterful “Paths of Glory,” one of the best anti-war films ever made. It’s a work that often gets overlooked by the flashier projects like “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “A Clockwork Orange,” or “The Shining” that Kubrick would make later in his career, but it’s easily one the best works from one of history’s best directors and the Criterion Collection Blu-ray release of the film is another stunning beauty.
Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0
A World War I French colonel (Kirk Douglas, giving one of his career-best performances) gets an order to send his troops on a seemingly-impossible mission. He is told from the beginning that the most-optimistic projections are that half of the already-shellshocked men will die during this mission but he has no choice. »

A brief history of the alien invasion movie
1 November 2010 10:06 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
As the Strause Brothers’ Skyline prepares to take over cinemas, we take a look back at the 50s era of classic alien invasion films…
Looking back over the history of science fiction cinema, it's fascinating to note just how long it took aliens to invade the big screen. Hg Wells' The War Of The Worlds popularised the alien invasion subgenre in 1897, but it would be more than 50 years before an adaptation made it to the big screen.
Before the 1950s, sci-fi cinema was dominated by mad scientists and monsters on the rampage, from James Whale's 1931 classic Frankenstein to Ernest B. Schoedsack's brilliantly odd Dr. Cyclops (1940), in which a mad professor shrinks a group of explorers using radiation.
It took the post-war paranoia of the Cold War to usher in a golden age of sci-fi, and with it, a rash of alien invasion movies. These invasions came in many forms, »
Jack Black Picks up Rights to How To Survive A Robot Uprising
22 October 2010 3:14 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It was announced earlier today that Steven Spielberg is officially attached to direct Daniel H. Wilson's Robopacalypse. Now it has been announced by io9 that Jack Balck and Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink have picked up the rights to Wilson's other book, How To Survive A Robot Uprising.
The book was originally optioned by Mike Meyers, with Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant writing the script and Mike De Luca producing. But as of a year ago, that project wasn't going anywhere, and a source says the rights have just been snatched up by Black and Pink. The source then adds that "this could be the Dr. Strangelove of robot uprising movies."
As of right now it's unclear if Black will star in the film or if Pink will direct it, but I imagine that's why they went ahead and bought up the rights to it. It »

Hollywoodnews.com: All lists are subjective, and most movie lists are flawed. But if there’s a constant when it comes to compilations, it’s that they always stimulate great debate.
I’m loving the results of a Zagat survey released this morning in support of a new guide titled “The World’s Best Movies.” The guide, according to a release, is based on the input of 20,773 moviegoers who voted on Zagat.com and selected the top actors, actresses, directors and their films.

"Apocalypse Now" and Forever, Thanks to a Definitive New Blu-ray Edition
20 October 2010 4:27 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
Like a mega-mind Great American Novel or hundred-hour Wagnerian opera cycle, Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" remains larger than our concept or evaluation of it, larger than its director's quasi-cosmic ambitions, larger, really, than itself. Any brief history of movies' most astonishing follies -- which translates to cinema's biggest badass landmarks, if not necessarily the "greatest" by many measures -- must include Coppola's Vietnamization of the American cultural experience. It doesn't hurt that there are multiple versions, from the Cannes rough cut to the two endings we had in 1979 to 2001's "Redux" version to the five-plus-hour workprint of which you can still buy bootleg copies online. Add to the pile the new "Full Disclosure" Blu-Ray package, which completely obliterates the need for that tempting illegal workprint by way of hours of new supplements, coordinated and sometimes directed by Coppola, letting loose with piles of excised footage but also giving »
