Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 2 of 5)
24 May 2012 12:12 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Oliver Reed as Athos in The Three Musketeers & The Four Musketeers (Richard Lester, 1973/1974, UK):
These films were actually shot all at once but ultimately released as two separate films telling one long story. As the musketeer with a dark past, Oliver Reed provides a lot of the heart and soul in these very entertaining and well-made films. Technically, since we have to isolate one film for our fantasy nomination, it would be The Four Musketeers as his role is more prominent in that film. Reed’s reunion scene with Faye Dunaway’s Milady is superb as is Reed’s intense swordplay with an array of opponents including Christopher Lee. An underrated actor whose career was damaged by well-documented alcohol problems and notorious off-screen behavior, Reed still logged in some truly incredible acting performances over the course of his career. His portrayal of Athos is definitely one of them.

Anniversaries: Joe Henderson (1937-2001) Born 75 Years Ago
24 April 2012 3:11 PM, PDT | www.culturecatch.com | See recent CultureCatch news »
Joe Henderson always had the respect of fellow musicians and hardcore jazz fanatics, but for a long time it seemed the closest he'd get to fame was his brief stint in Blood, Sweat & Tears (years later he reminisced, in one of my favorite interviews, about how that short period was when sax companies wanted his endorsement and gave him free horns). Hardly fair considering that he spent a quarter century ranked among the top three tenor saxophonists alive, along with Rollins and Shorter. Then, almost miraculously, Verve put together a masterful production/promotion campaign that made him more famous in his last decade than he'd ever been before. Alas, emphysema took him at age 64, but he'd managed to leave an impressive legacy with nary a misstep -- he never made a bad album, and his appearance on anyone else's album was always a mark of quality.

New Web-Series "Psience" Premieres: First Impressions
19 April 2012 12:11 PM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Director/Writer: Leigh Silverstein.
"Psience" is a new mystery web-series that premiered April 18th online. It is an intensely character driven drama about five young adults recruited to become special “magic welding” individuals. Simply known a psientists, their training is nothing like what an apprentice would normally learn from a master of the arts.
Instead, they are on their own. They have to discover what their true potential is from within and Brett (Christina Schimmel), a fully indoctrinated psientist, will help guide them. But there is more to this teacher than a meets the eye.
The title is an apt play with two words that describes two realms of disciplinary study—psychic development and scientific investigation. With the former, the learning is all about intuition. Until everyone can telekinetically move the pinwheel, they cannot symbolically progress to the next level. For the latter, hypothesis and conclusive results are required to achieve success. »

'Bones' preview: Brennan and Booth's baby is on its way!
16 March 2012 4:51 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
A little Brennan-Booth baby is thisclose to joining us, and a new promo for "Bones" shows us more details surrounding the little one's quite eventful entry into our world.
The event happens during the mid-season premiere on April 2, entitled "The Prisoner in the Pipes," which seems -- well, let's say not-so-special a name for such an important occurrence. But this is "Bones," and we wouldn't have it any other way.
The cast teased that the birth wouldn't happen in a hospital when we caught up with them at Paley Fest recently, and the promo proves their assertion, as Booth pulls up to an unsuspecting bystander and Brennan screams from the passenger seat, "I'm about to push this baby out right now!"
"She'll squat on the lawn," threatens Booth, and we know that's entirely possible. There's probably a tribe somewhere that's been giving birth like that for centuries. Check out the promo below, »

Cinema Retro Goes Underground To Cover Hammer Horror Screenings In London
28 February 2012 4:21 PM, PST | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »

Cinema Retro is always on the lookout for classic and cult movies being screened in unique ways by film clubs and societies. We seem to have found one that could really top them all- literally at a dead end!
I learned about The Flicker Club via the B-Movie Podcast (www.bmoviecast.com) recently and I was intrigued. This February they ran a short season of Hammer Films. Nothing exceptional about that, you may say, bar the fact that they have screened rarities such as The Reptile, The Witches and the obscure The Lost Continent. If that wasn’t enough, in conjunction with Hammer, they screened the newly restored Dracula from 1958 with found footage that was missing for decades.. However- wonderful though this is - it is the location and the way in which the Flicker Club screened these gems that elevates them beyond the norm. »

Simon Moore's Desert Island Collection
27 February 2012 1:01 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Simon Moore presents his Desert Island Collection...
Movies
1. Withnail & I - the perfect mix of comedy, pathos and uniquely quotable dialogue.
2. The Princess Bride - everything that's funny and beautiful about fantasy fiction.
3. Porco Rosso - Miyazaki's midlife crisis masterpiece, with Michael Keaton as a flying pig. Yes.
4. Monkey Business - probably the Marx Brothers' purest distillation of slapstick insanity.
5. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - the greatest Western ever made? Who the hell cares, I love the ambition, the danger and the hilarity of gunfighters on a gold rush.
6. The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler writes, Bogart & Bacall sizzle. Unbeatable film noir.
7. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World - it's a musical with fistfights instead of songs. How do you resist?
8. From Russia with Love - Connery in his prime.
9. Young Frankenstein - artful comedy in every sense.
10. Rocky - the film by which all others are now measured in some degree. »
