Lucky Luke and other Cartoon heroes on the Big Screen
29 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As this summer’s blockbuster season reminds us comic book adaptations are big business with the latest incarnations of heroes old and new filling the local picturehouse and running merry riot over box office records.
Given the twin benefits of a wealth of material on which to draw and a ready audience primed to see their favourites fleshed out and thrown onto a movie screen it seems that we’ll be seeing many more familiar, and some less familiar, cartoon characters in movies of their own.
Jean Dujardin turned the world into a swooning mess when he led Michel Hazanavicius’ award magnet The Artist last year and in this article Anwar Brett takes a look at another of the actor’s roles, that of Lucky Luke in James Huth’s adaptation of the comic book by Morris, which is out now on DVD, as well as nine other cartoon heroes »

Trending: The Archers... a new generation
7 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
Teenage readers and viewers of The Hunger Games have a lot to admire about the heroine, Katniss Everdeen: her bravery, her family loyalty (she volunteers to stand in for her younger sister as a contestant in the lethal Games,) her bow and quiver of arrows, her skill at running, her cool pigtail, her indifference to the male sex, the fact that she (homophonically) shares a surname with the heroine of Far from the Madding Crowd... And with which do you think American fans most identify? You guessed. It's the bow and arrows. »
'Pariah' Director Dee Rees To Helm Indie Love Story 'This Man, This Woman'
1 May 2012 2:57 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Director Dee Rees hasn't been in any particular hurry to follow up the acclaimed and excellent "Pariah," but she's not without options. Earlier this year it was reported she was writing a new film entitled "Large Print," about a recently divorced, mid-50s insurance adjuster, she's got a thriller called "Bolo" she's developing with Focus Features and she's working on a project at HBO with Viola Davis. Well, now her slate is beginning to get a little more crowded.
Variety reports that Rees has been tapped to helm the indie love story "This Man, This Woman." Penned by Frederic Raphael ("Eyes Wide Shut," "Two For The Road," "Far From The Madding Crowd") the film will center on a divorced couple, who are struck by tragedy and find themselves seated together on an airplane. They use the opportunity to figure out what went wrong in their relationship, and fall back in love. »

Director who blended sophistication and sickness in the horror film The Abominable Dr Phibes
With its mix of pop art, sophisticated humour, pulp science fiction and English eccentricity, the television series The Avengers was among the most influential and significant products of "swinging London" in the 1960s. Robert Fuest, who has died aged 84, cut his teeth on the series under the aegis of the writer-producer Brian Clemens, initially as a production designer when the show was produced "as live" in the studio in black and white and co-starred Honor Blackman with Patrick MacNee, then as director when the series had moved on to colour, film and Linda Thorson.
As designer and director, Fuest learned how to achieve style on a budget – making a great deal of the show's famously minimalist aesthetic – and he carried this over into his best-known works as a film director, the two Dr Phibes horror movies of the early 1970s, »

DVD Playhouse—March 2012
By Allen Gardner
J. Edgar (Warner Bros.) Director Clint Eastwood provides a rock-solid, albeit rather flat portrait of polarizing FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, covering his life from late teens to his death. Leonardo DiCaprio does an impressive turn as Hoover, never crossing the line into caricature, and creating a Hoover that is all too human, making for an all the more unsettling look at absolute power run amuck. Where the film stumbles is the love story at its core: Hoover’s relationship with longtime aide Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer). In the hands of an openly-gay director like Gus Van Sant, this could have been a heartbreaking, tender story of forbidden (unrequited?) love, but Eastwood seems to tiptoe around their romance, with far too much delicacy and deference. The film works well when recreating the famous crimes and investigations which Hoover made his name on (the Lindbergh kidnapping, »

Far From the Madding Crowd
21 February 2012 6:00 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Thomas Hardy’s naturalist novel Far From the Madding Crowd runs rampant through the fields of unrequited love and fierce feminine independence. It turns the tables on all the conventions of normal literature of its era, stripping the power and decisions from the men and putting it in the hands of a newly empowered heroine who proves that neither sex is any better at making important life decisions—whether for better or for worse. PBS’s 1998 television adaptation puts Paloma Baeza into the role of the strong-willed Bathsheba, with Nathaniel Parker as Gabriel Oak, the farmer whose fortunes take a turn for the worse just after Bathsheba rejects his proposal. What follows is a slow, but well-paced story of love and consequences that starts sweet and ends in moving tragedy.

TCM's Robert Osborne on '31 Days of Oscar': 'I love this month'
27 January 2012 9:58 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
If films are meant to let you see the world without leaving your chair, Turner Classic Movies is about to make that even more the case.
For its annual "31 Days of Oscar" festival that begins Wednesday (Feb. 1), the channel has grouped the titles by locale ... starting the first day with Florida ("Some Like It Hot") and Philadelphia ("Rocky"), and wrapping up in outer space ("2001: A Space Odyssey") on Friday, March 2. England, the South Seas, Australia and the Middle East are among the many other stops on the cinematic itinerary.
"We always like to try different ways to do this," principal TCM host Robert Osborne tells Zap2it. "It's been kind of a stretch some years, but this one's really neat, I think. Not only do we visit a different area each day or night, it's particularly interesting because in so many of the movies, places like Mexico and Singapore »
